Waking the Dead (2000) s03e04 Episode Script
Walking on Water: ?Part 2
Mesmerising, isn't it? How far does the tide go out? Further than you'd imagine.
If you went out, you could get yourself into all sorts of trouble.
OK, so what time did the driver find the body? Around 4am.
Any idea of time of death? The pathologist estimates within the last seven hours.
How do you want to work this? Good.
All yours.
Unless you think it's unconnected.
I put Mark Lovell away because he was the only one who had any motive.
I played it as I saw it.
I know you did.
This is Mark Lovell's work.
Or Mark Lovell.
OK, Penny.
Wow! What goes around, comes around.
Spence, contact the Lovells.
Find out what they were doing yesterday.
And if Mark Lovell turns up bring him in.
Sure.
Whoever did it used a bread knife to hack the head off.
OK.
I'm going to work on Frankie.
MUTED SCREAMS AND HEAVY BREATHING HEAVY BREATHING Miaow! Here, kitty.
Ooh, nosey neighbour! Spence! There's a cat, but no sign of Mark.
It may be Mark on the beach.
Yeah.
There! See it go? Miaow! CRASH! You heard that, right? We heard noises.
A scream.
We later discovered it was a cat.
It was my duty to investigate, but I didn't have a warrant.
Your honour! - How did you do that? - It's nothing.
Hello.
Anybody here? I'll check upstairs.
OK.
Mel! What? Upstairs.
Hi.
Frankie, how are you? All right? Oh.
Hi.
I want you to do me Um, yes! This! Hang on, I found this.
Oh! I found this wedged into the hull of the boat.
Great.
You OK? Me! Yeah.
I'm fine.
I'm tired.
Why? Do I not look OK? No! I mean, yeah, you-you-you do.
You look great.
A piece of plastic, yeah? In a piece of plastic.
On its surface, it had traces of hydrochloride, sodium bicarbonate, kerosene, sulphuric acid Potassium permanganate, acetone and ammonia - all present in cocaine.
Oh, so you do pay attention! I do.
That's great.
That's, um That's good work.
Um, Frankie, one second.
Guys! OK, thank you very much for waiting.
I appreciate it.
OK.
What's that? It's a body.
Well, it's-it's, um it's not an entire body and I need an ID.
Now.
What is it? Some blood on the carpet - it goes under the bed.
Have a look.
Go on! Miaow! Miaow! Hi, Spence.
What is it? 'We're at Mark Lovell's house.
' There's no sign of him, but signs of a major struggle.
It's got no head! I know.
And no hands! Yeah.
Didn't it occur to you I had my hands full already?! (Think yourself lucky.
) Frankie and I will be there in, um I don't know - a couple of hours.
In an hour.
Thanks.
Bye.
Well, come on! Miaow! Got her, got her! Come on.
Oh! CAT SHRIEKS Shit! SPENCE LAUGHS Spence, it's not funny.
Help me catch the bloody thing.
Miaow! C'mon.
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty! Right.
One, two, three Miaow! Gotcha! Both hands have been hacked off at the wrist .
.
coupled with the absence of a head.
The murderer was definitely trying to make it impossible for us to identify the body .
.
but clearly didn't factor in the NHS.
And medical records which mention things like appendectomies.
Some hobby! It's not a hobby - it's an obsession.
The walls of his cell were covered with them.
Maybe it's his way of making sense of it.
He's made a lot of sense of it.
It's like his family tree.
The father hitting the son, the pub, Penelope, the last time Penelope was seen! And look at this! We've got Thomas hitting Mark AND three women drowning.
The amazing thing is, for 11 years he's kept the detail of this in his mindor his imagination.
He's pretty damn close to the truth, isn't he? As far as we know.
Wow! You ready? Yeah.
Great.
Right.
Now, the damage to the headless man you found in the cockles this morning was extensive.
His hands had been cut off and the pathologist said he was dead long before the attacker had finished beating his body.
He stinks! Now, because you expected it to be one of the Lovells, I had a look at the two DNA profiles I had already.
This is from Mark's appeal.
I used it to see if his DNA was at the Thomas Lovell murder scene.
This is Stephen Lovell.
This is the bit you'll love.
They both share the same mitochondrial DNA.
They're brothers.
Mark and Stephen? Yeah.
Mark was adopted! Exactly.
Yeah, whatever.
What I'm telling you is Mark and Stephen both share the same female lineage.
You can only inherit mitochondrial DNA from your mum and your mum's mum.
Mark's mum is Stephen's mum.
Which one's that? I can't be sure until I get the DNA results back, but I'd say that is Martin Lovell.
The body has an appendectomy scar.
Of all three Lovells, only Martin's had his appendix out.
Can you tell me who Mark's father is? No, but I know a man who can.
I've sent all three DNA profiles to a population geneticist to see what he can come up with.
Great.
Thanks, Frankie.
That's really impressive.
Easy! It is.
Are you ready to go to Mark's house? Give me five minutes.
It's not a problem - we're only four hours late.
What strikes you first? Other than it's just another crime scene? Yeah, but it's perfect.
Scattered belongings, signs of a struggle Blood.
Conveniently left there.
We've the knife in the sink, yeah? Are you saying it might be staged? I don't know.
It's just an idea.
But it's leading us to the one conclusion.
Mark Lovell.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.
Drink.
- OK.
- Think the cat's OK in the car? - As long as it doesn't crap.
- I left the window open.
- The body might be Martin.
- We'll get Mark.
Looking for anyone? Is Stephen Lovell around? Neither he nor Mandy were in earlier.
Mandy's in London.
Stephen's probably in bed.
When did you last see Martin or Stephen? Last night.
About six.
Where? In the cockle shed.
How did they seem? They were having a barny.
What about? I don't know, mate - I only caught the end of it.
What about Mark? Has something happened? No, it's OK.
Thank you.
If we need to find you, where can we find you? I'm usually working on the boat.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
- What? - Look at this.
- That's interesting.
- Town and Country Planning.
Warehouse apartments, Waterside Housing - I wonder who they are.
Sample four - fibres taken from the kitchen door.
Sample 19 - swab taken from Mark Lovell's bedroom.
Check serrations with markings on the neck of the headless man .
.
and wound tissue surrounding the spinal cord.
Mr Lovell,we need you to come with us.
Why? What's going on? The police were looking for you.
What did they want? They wanted to know where your husband was.
Well, he's not under here.
What you tell them? That I saw him and Martin last night, and you'd gone up to London.
I love you, Fin Dawley.
I know.
How could they let him out? You know what he's back for, don't you? It could ruin everything.
You're so calm.
It's only money.
If we lose it, we'll make some more.
I'm not going through that again.
What COULD you go through again? I won't let Mark Lovell take it away from us.
How will you do that? There's lots of things you don't know about me.
Ooh! I'm sorry, but we needed someone to identify the body.
I was with him last night.
A witness saw you arguing with Martin.
What were you arguing about? I can't remember.
Can you try to remember? Just stuff.
Can you be a little more specific? We always argue, we're brothers.
That's what brothers do.
DID.
Stephen, your brother's dead.
Now, after this argument, what happened? He stormed off.
To go home? No.
He wanted to confront Mark.
He wanted to Martin just wanted to warn him off.
So Martin went to Mark's house? Yeah.
What time was that? I don't know.
About seven.
So what did you do next? I went home.
It was Mark.
It was Mark, wasn't it? Why do you think that? My brother's dead! Is that genuine? Don't know.
Can I borrow your log-in key.
Why? I've lost mine.
Why? I'm stupid.
Long weekend - too many women, not enough time.
Demolition of existing light commercial property and erection of complex containing flats, letting facilities and commercial outlets.
Hmm.
Mr M Lovell, Mr and Mrs S Lovell and Mr Fin Dawley.
Stephen reads her a story every day.
He read her all your letters.
Sorry? The letters from prison.
He read them to her every week.
If you need anything, just call.
Thank you.
Hello, April.
Mumit's Mark.
I'm home now.
I'm home.
Boyd.
Yes? Stephen put his business share in Mandy's name.
Find out why.
- Remember the planning notice? - Yeah.
Proposed plans for the harbour - apartments, shops.
Total regeneration of the area.
It turns out a company called Waterside Housing is behind the project.
Who are they? The Lovells.
How did they get the capital? Their business isn't that good.
Cocaine.
OK, guys, listen up.
When Martin's head was decapitated, the knife left markings on the bone which indicate this knife was the murder weapon.
The blood in Mark's flat was the dead kitten's.
I'd say it was hit hard against the bookcase.
Grace.
What's going on? I go to my flat, can't get in, they bring me here.
Who's got my cats? Sit down.
We found Martin's body.
I say that quite literally, because we haven't found his head yet which had been hacked off.
Your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.
No.
This has nothing to do with me.
A knife we found in Shut up! Was Martin Lovell at your flat last night? You disgusting little! Whose knife is this? It's mine.
It was Thomas's.
But like I said, whatever is my father's is now mine.
He took it away.
Took it away? Yeah.
Did he threaten you with it? Yeah.
Yeah? I reminded him I'd been inside for 11 years.
People don't threaten you inside.
He said I'd no idea what I was getting into.
What did he mean? I have no idea.
What time was it? Seven.
Then what did you do? Tidied the flat.
Yeah.
Fed the cats.
Yeah.
Drove to my defence lawyer.
Of course.
Drank too much.
Dave will vouch for me.
He's a good lawyer.
Yes, he is.
Yes.
You need him.
Why? I think you killed Lovell.
You enticed him to your flat and sliced his neck.
Don't stitch me up! Dumped his body on the beach.
No! Calm down! I'll kill you! Calm down! All right? Don't ever do that again.
He's denying it? He didn't do it.
Mark's alibi checks out.
See? What was that about? Just pushing him.
What will you do with him now? Just keep him out of harm's way.
You don't bring in cocaine unless you can move it - organisation.
And contact with people who relieve you of your head and hands.
Yes.
OK.
Grace? Grace! She's too sensitive.
Too sensitive by far.
She was with me last night, stayed over.
Given the time of death, there is no way she killed Martin.
You sure? That's what you pay me for.
But Jack I can't protect her, you know.
Leave that to me.
I also think it would be a good idea if she got out of there.
You know what she's like.
Once it's in her head, nothing changes her.
You got something for me? Yes.
She gave it to me last night.
Jack? If I'm right in thinking what's in this envelope, that makes me A lawyer handing me an envelope.
The only crime here is how much you charge me for your visits! You protect her from the law.
I'll do the rest.
We found evidence of cocaine.
The Lovells were importing it.
Maybe not regularly but, by the packaging, quite sizeable amounts.
Thomas Lovell? Never! As for Martin and Stephen, no.
Fin Dawley is a business partner.
A silent partner who invested his savings and proceeds of a house he sold.
You're barking up the wrong tree.
(I'm not a squirrel.
) What was that? I said it's possible.
It's cos of what we did that this happened.
No, it's because of Mark.
Bastard Mark.
Fishing is what we do.
Stephen.
What's done is done! That's not important now.
Mark's a sick man.
Is he? I thought the only sick people here were us.
PHONE RINGS He killed Martin.
They will get him.
Hello? I know how you're feeling, mate.
You have no idea how I'm feeling.
The police want to see me.
You shouldn't read other people's diaries, it's rude.
Well, under the circumstances I was young.
A very close friend asked if I wanted to play a game of truth.
I said yeah and didn't think anything of it.
Course, I was cheatin' on the poor girl, I was seeing a boy behind her back.
She had no ideaor so I thought.
Anyway, she turned to me and said, "Let's play a game of truth.
" I said, "Sure.
" She said.
"All right, I'll go first.
" I waited.
Then she said, "I've read your diaries.
"Your turn.
" Who was the girl? Who was the BOY? Hi.
Fin Dawley.
Is he around? What happened to Martin is a disgrace.
Hello? You know who I blame.
Bill, stop it.
I blame the police.
I blame the police for letting Mark walk.
Really? Let me tell you something, Mr Durham.
This case is still wide open, so before you start to lay blame at Mark's door perhaps you could tell me where you were last night.
Stephen? He was different, wasn't he, Stephen? Him and his mother April, they were different.
They understood you in their way, didn't they? Tell me about Stephen.
I'll tell you about Stephen.
Stephen betrayed me! I loved him! I loved him and he betrayed me! Yes, yes, I saw them walk past.
And then Martin pushed Stephen away from him and then stormed up towards the far end of town.
Where Mark lives? That family's damned by tragedy.
What would Thomas Lovell think of Stephen and Martin's plans to develop this area? D'you think he'd be turning in his grave? No.
It was Thomas's idea.
Thomas had plans.
He could see potential in everything.
He had a dream to develop this area and turn it into something new.
He told you that? It was Fin that gave him all these big ideas.
Fin.
Fin was in the building trade, had an eye for a good opportunity.
Traded his house and life in London for an old boat.
An old boat I found him.
Taught him to sail.
Good, is he? Is he a good sailor? He was a natural.
Thank you.
'You don't bring in cocaine in 32-kilo bales unless you can move it.
That takes organisation 'and contact with people who'll relieve you of your head and hands.
'Lack of evidence or forensics should not prevent intellectual speculation.
You start with ideas.
'Four murders, Spence.
'Four murders, Spence.
Four murders.
' 'Now we know how they died, what does that say about the killer?' 'Devoid of emotion, no attachments to the victims whatsoever.
' ECHOING SCREAMS Stephen put the property he inherited from Thomas in your name.
Why did he do that? Precaution, an insurance.
Against Mark, yeah? You read things about people making claims that take years to be followed up on, however bogus.
Very sensible.
Might have been sensible if he'd remained behind bars to begin with.
Mark spent the night with his lawyer and his family.
He was with them when Martin was killed.
It's used for wrapping bales of cocaine and we found it in the hull of the Miss Maria.
Is your husband involved in smuggling cocaine? What? Course not.
No way! It was probably pulled up by one of the nets.
You can't prove it.
Could be from anywhere.
Where were you last night? We'll check your alibi.
If we find you're lying With Fin Dawley.
Fin Dawley.
Yep.
Does your husband know about your relationship with Fin Dawley? I wouldn't call it a relationship.
What would you call it? Sex.
Something I don't have with my husband.
Something my husband prefers to have with men.
I'd like to call my lawyer now, please.
'Forth, Tyne, Dogger - mainly south-easterly 3 or 4.
'Fair, moderate, with fog patches.
'Fisher, German Bight - variable, becoming east or south-east 3 or 4, fair' She's lying.
She's hiding something.
PHONE RINGS Spence.
Mandy Lovell is having an affair with Fin Dawley.
I think they've had it for some time.
You mean the affair? Er, yeah.
It's just a joke.
She's nervous.
She's phoning her lawyer now.
Make sure she's not phoning anybody else.
C'mon! Put me on the phone to Mel.
What? Boyd? It was Fin's idea to develop the boatyard into apartments.
That's what he and Thomas planned.
So get me anything you've got on Thomas's business partnerships and bring any documents to me.
OK? OK.
Where's here? At the seaside.
You know where.
His neck his hands were hacked off with what looks like Are you looking? A bread knife.
Who could be capable of such a thing? Your husband? You don't frighten me.
How about 12 years locked up for smuggling cocaine? Could he do this? Could your husband have killed his own family? His own brother? Stephen couldn't he wouldn't hurt anyone.
Boyd.
Hi.
I've got the stuff you wanted.
That's great.
Spence thinks Mandy's behind it all.
PHONE RINGS Hi, Frankie.
I've the results from my population geneticist.
He found two unusual alleles in Thomas and Mark's DNA.
What does that mean? Thomas is Mark's real father.
Tell Grace that and get her to talk to Mark Lovell.
Thank you.
What was that? Thomas is Mark's real father.
You're kidding! What are you doing? Going for a walk.
What? C'mon.
It'll be fine.
Trust me.
OK, now I AM worried.
OK, October 3rd, 8 o'clock - records show tides were going out.
What happens if the tide comes in? Boats facing in, tide's going out.
Boats facing out, tide's coming in.
OK.
Ughh! All very convenient - Mark convicted, Stephen takes over the business.
Puts his inheritance in your name.
NO! C'mon, Mandy, think about it! No! There is no way he could do that.
Did you know Stephen was gay when you married him? You have no idea who Stephen is or isn't, have you, Mandy? Thank you.
Ma'am.
Boyd would like you to stay here for your own safety.
Well, I think I should still call Miles.
You don't need a lawyer now.
I'll always need Miles, he's the closest thing I've got to family.
I don't know whether this is the appropriate time, but the DNA samples Doctor Wharton took are a match for Stephen's.
He's your brother.
Yeah, I know.
April told me before she became ill.
I've known for years.
Soshe told you about Thomas, then? Thomas? He's your real father.
I wish I could say I knew how you felt, but I don't.
Why didn't he just tell me? Once a lie gets past a certain point, it starts to seem true.
It's easier to live with the lie.
It feels like I've always known.
I'm doing this for you, son.
Look at me.
Look at me! You OK? I don't know.
I need Miles.
OK.
Thomas Lovell is coming back, navigating up one of the channels.
He's got his wife, daughter and grandaughter.
He sees another boat, possibly it's in distress, so he stops to help him and they come aboard.
Come on, then.
Come on.
Right, gotcha.
They have a a fight.
He shoots Thomas Lovell OK.
.
.
in the shoulder.
A second gun shot.
That grazes Grazes Lovell's skull.
He falls into the water.
And the attacker thinks he drowned.
How did Thomas get back to shore? He walked.
The tide's going out, so he's just got to swim 10, 15, 50 yards to get to the mud bank, then he walks back, he walks back to raise the alarm.
The attacker realises that he's got three women in the hold.
'Where's Thomas?' He ties them up.
He gets on board his boat.
Ties the boat next to the Miss Maria.
takes it right out, over the USS Richard Montgomery Whacks a hole in the hull, so he scuttles the boat.
Then he sails his boat back to the channel, cos the channels are full.
Which way do they face if the tide's coming in? If the tide's going out they face out Tell me about Thomas's plans.
Thomas wanted to sell the business.
He'd had enough.
I heard him, we all heard him tell Mark.
Mark wasn't interested so he just wanted to get rid of it.
How did that make Martin and Stephen feel? How do you think they felt? Tell me about the drugs.
Whose idea was it? Martin's? Stephen's? Or did somebody else put them up to it? Keep walking, just keep walking.
We're not We're not going to make it.
We're miles from anywhere Let's get in the boat.
Let's get in.
Oh, my God.
What? Nothing Don't look.
What is it? Argh! Don't, don't My God! Get in the boat.
Get in the boat.
Just give me that bag.
Careful Be careful.
Just give me the bag.
OK.
Oh, my God.
Shit.
Move over there.
Where's the engine? There it is.
ENGINE STARTS HE LAUGHS Move faster.
Yeah.
Five people are dead.
Who's behind the drugs? WHO was behind the drugs? Who? It was all of us.
Martin and Fin mainly.
And Stephen? He hated doing it.
But he knew the waters better than anyone.
Here and over the Dutch coast.
Who organised the distribution? KNOCK ON DOOR Just throw a rope.
Thanks.
Caught by the tide? Yeah.
I just drive a car.
It's a mystery to me.
Thanks.
My pleasure.
If you want to go out sometime with someone who knows what they're doing Yeah.
Let's go.
I want a pee.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit! Mel.
Mel! Mel.
Yeah.
How long does it take to do a pee? Excuse me, what are you doing? That was my first question.
Sit down.
Why have you locked the door? One more time - sit down.
Sit down.
Who are you? I'm Detective Super I'm Detective Superintendent Boyd and this is DC Silver.
Snap! Now we've established common ground apart from the MET, are you working for anyone else? You found him, so you must be good.
I'll give you that.
Found who? Dawley.
Detective Superintendent Server, you've got two options.
The first is leave this with me, go and contemplate your career, which is now at an end.
Mm-hm.
What's the other one? Shoot me.
What were you and your brother really arguing about the night he was murdered? He wanted to confront Fin.
Fin? Why? It all started a few months before Thomas died.
Fin said all we had to do was bring a few packages over.
Cocaine.
From where? Holland.
And Thomas found out? Yeah.
We only meant to do it once.
But once we'd done it Martin got a real taste for it.
It was just so easy.
How much did you bring over? I don't know.
First time it was three bales wrapped in plastic.
Then five, six, even seven at a time.
That's a lot of cocaine.
How much did you get for it? Ten grand a trip.
Fin and Martin wanted to do it again.
I didn't want anything to do with it.
Then Thomas found out.
Said he was going to the police.
So you stopped him? What's in the bag? It's a scarf that got soaked.
I'm cold and I'm wet.
What is this about? What's your interest in Fin Dawley all about? Who are you working for? Witness protection.
You accessed his file.
Your log-in number came up, so what's the game? I'm investigating the murders of almost an entire family and I got suspicious that drugs were involved, and now that I've met you, I'm convinced.
Would you mind pointing that gun down, please? Thank you.
Who is Fin Dawley? What a bloody stupid name Fin Dawley is.
Couldn't you have chosen something sensible? What's his real name? Did you or Martin have anything to do with the murder of Thomas' family? Fin Dawley turned grass What's his real name? John Bryson.
He ran coke for certain Colombian families here in the UK.
And he was responsible for the importation of over ã200 million worth of cocaine.
With his help, we, the FBI and the CIA have put away three cartels.
But there's a lot more to be done.
So you see there are certain parties who are very committed to keeping him safe.
If I can prove he murdered Martin Lovell, he can tell you all he wants from the safety of his cell.
Well, can you? Because if you can't, don't even think about bringing his name into the public eye.
Are you threatening me? Boyd No, no, wait.
Are YOU threatening me? A few fisherman are diddly shit compared to the lives we can save, IF we keep him safe.
You're moving him.
Give me a good reason not to.
I've got five good reasons not to.
Can we go now, please? Thank you.
Goodbye.
BOYD'S MOBILE RINGS Yeah, hello.
Boyd Listen.
Do the initials FD mean anything? Why? I think Emma Lovell scratched the initials of the killer on the hatch door before she died.
Fin Dawley.
Yes.
So all we've got to do is prove it.
I can!.
I've lost the keys.
I'm on my way back with a present.
Still need the toilet.
I chose not to see it.
I chose to ignore it.
We told Fin Thomas was going to tell the police.
Did Fin deal with Thomas? With Thomas.
Notnot Penelope notnot little Tessa They weren't supposed to be there.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
We didn't know he was We wanted to stop the Holland trips .
.
but Fin couldn't let it go.
He kept drawing off more for himself until our share was just a couple of hundred quid.
He had us over a barrel.
And Martin? He wanted to stop.
He wanted to come clean.
Fin killed him, didn't he? This is Mel's DNA and this is alien DNA that I found on Thomas Lovell.
Now, this is a DNA sample that I took from the cat's claw and it matches Mel's.
This is also another DNA sample that I took from the cat's claw and it matches the alien DNA.
Fin or whatever his name was Fin Dawley.
.
.
was there in Mark's flat.
By the way, thanks for the head.
It's my pleasure, Frankie.
Thank you very much.
Ah.
SANDING MACHINE BUZZES John Bryson? I assume you know Detective Superintendent Server? 'Mark was obsessive and his ability to hold a grudge alarming.
'If anyone harmed him or in his eyes caused him any injustice, he spent weeks plotting his revenge.
' Shadowy man.
'Mark can do anything he puts his mind to.
'Including murder?' Oh, my God.
GIRL SCREAMS Oh, my God.
I missed it.
He knew all the time.
That's why he came back.
You should have come sailing with me.
It's fun if you're with someone that knows what they are doing.
But, then, so can lots of things.
EXPLOSION Get down.
Get down! Get him safe.
Get down! Get down! Mel I'm OK.
You've got a visitor, Mr Ely.
Course I have.
If you went out, you could get yourself into all sorts of trouble.
OK, so what time did the driver find the body? Around 4am.
Any idea of time of death? The pathologist estimates within the last seven hours.
How do you want to work this? Good.
All yours.
Unless you think it's unconnected.
I put Mark Lovell away because he was the only one who had any motive.
I played it as I saw it.
I know you did.
This is Mark Lovell's work.
Or Mark Lovell.
OK, Penny.
Wow! What goes around, comes around.
Spence, contact the Lovells.
Find out what they were doing yesterday.
And if Mark Lovell turns up bring him in.
Sure.
Whoever did it used a bread knife to hack the head off.
OK.
I'm going to work on Frankie.
MUTED SCREAMS AND HEAVY BREATHING HEAVY BREATHING Miaow! Here, kitty.
Ooh, nosey neighbour! Spence! There's a cat, but no sign of Mark.
It may be Mark on the beach.
Yeah.
There! See it go? Miaow! CRASH! You heard that, right? We heard noises.
A scream.
We later discovered it was a cat.
It was my duty to investigate, but I didn't have a warrant.
Your honour! - How did you do that? - It's nothing.
Hello.
Anybody here? I'll check upstairs.
OK.
Mel! What? Upstairs.
Hi.
Frankie, how are you? All right? Oh.
Hi.
I want you to do me Um, yes! This! Hang on, I found this.
Oh! I found this wedged into the hull of the boat.
Great.
You OK? Me! Yeah.
I'm fine.
I'm tired.
Why? Do I not look OK? No! I mean, yeah, you-you-you do.
You look great.
A piece of plastic, yeah? In a piece of plastic.
On its surface, it had traces of hydrochloride, sodium bicarbonate, kerosene, sulphuric acid Potassium permanganate, acetone and ammonia - all present in cocaine.
Oh, so you do pay attention! I do.
That's great.
That's, um That's good work.
Um, Frankie, one second.
Guys! OK, thank you very much for waiting.
I appreciate it.
OK.
What's that? It's a body.
Well, it's-it's, um it's not an entire body and I need an ID.
Now.
What is it? Some blood on the carpet - it goes under the bed.
Have a look.
Go on! Miaow! Miaow! Hi, Spence.
What is it? 'We're at Mark Lovell's house.
' There's no sign of him, but signs of a major struggle.
It's got no head! I know.
And no hands! Yeah.
Didn't it occur to you I had my hands full already?! (Think yourself lucky.
) Frankie and I will be there in, um I don't know - a couple of hours.
In an hour.
Thanks.
Bye.
Well, come on! Miaow! Got her, got her! Come on.
Oh! CAT SHRIEKS Shit! SPENCE LAUGHS Spence, it's not funny.
Help me catch the bloody thing.
Miaow! C'mon.
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty! Right.
One, two, three Miaow! Gotcha! Both hands have been hacked off at the wrist .
.
coupled with the absence of a head.
The murderer was definitely trying to make it impossible for us to identify the body .
.
but clearly didn't factor in the NHS.
And medical records which mention things like appendectomies.
Some hobby! It's not a hobby - it's an obsession.
The walls of his cell were covered with them.
Maybe it's his way of making sense of it.
He's made a lot of sense of it.
It's like his family tree.
The father hitting the son, the pub, Penelope, the last time Penelope was seen! And look at this! We've got Thomas hitting Mark AND three women drowning.
The amazing thing is, for 11 years he's kept the detail of this in his mindor his imagination.
He's pretty damn close to the truth, isn't he? As far as we know.
Wow! You ready? Yeah.
Great.
Right.
Now, the damage to the headless man you found in the cockles this morning was extensive.
His hands had been cut off and the pathologist said he was dead long before the attacker had finished beating his body.
He stinks! Now, because you expected it to be one of the Lovells, I had a look at the two DNA profiles I had already.
This is from Mark's appeal.
I used it to see if his DNA was at the Thomas Lovell murder scene.
This is Stephen Lovell.
This is the bit you'll love.
They both share the same mitochondrial DNA.
They're brothers.
Mark and Stephen? Yeah.
Mark was adopted! Exactly.
Yeah, whatever.
What I'm telling you is Mark and Stephen both share the same female lineage.
You can only inherit mitochondrial DNA from your mum and your mum's mum.
Mark's mum is Stephen's mum.
Which one's that? I can't be sure until I get the DNA results back, but I'd say that is Martin Lovell.
The body has an appendectomy scar.
Of all three Lovells, only Martin's had his appendix out.
Can you tell me who Mark's father is? No, but I know a man who can.
I've sent all three DNA profiles to a population geneticist to see what he can come up with.
Great.
Thanks, Frankie.
That's really impressive.
Easy! It is.
Are you ready to go to Mark's house? Give me five minutes.
It's not a problem - we're only four hours late.
What strikes you first? Other than it's just another crime scene? Yeah, but it's perfect.
Scattered belongings, signs of a struggle Blood.
Conveniently left there.
We've the knife in the sink, yeah? Are you saying it might be staged? I don't know.
It's just an idea.
But it's leading us to the one conclusion.
Mark Lovell.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.
Drink.
- OK.
- Think the cat's OK in the car? - As long as it doesn't crap.
- I left the window open.
- The body might be Martin.
- We'll get Mark.
Looking for anyone? Is Stephen Lovell around? Neither he nor Mandy were in earlier.
Mandy's in London.
Stephen's probably in bed.
When did you last see Martin or Stephen? Last night.
About six.
Where? In the cockle shed.
How did they seem? They were having a barny.
What about? I don't know, mate - I only caught the end of it.
What about Mark? Has something happened? No, it's OK.
Thank you.
If we need to find you, where can we find you? I'm usually working on the boat.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
- What? - Look at this.
- That's interesting.
- Town and Country Planning.
Warehouse apartments, Waterside Housing - I wonder who they are.
Sample four - fibres taken from the kitchen door.
Sample 19 - swab taken from Mark Lovell's bedroom.
Check serrations with markings on the neck of the headless man .
.
and wound tissue surrounding the spinal cord.
Mr Lovell,we need you to come with us.
Why? What's going on? The police were looking for you.
What did they want? They wanted to know where your husband was.
Well, he's not under here.
What you tell them? That I saw him and Martin last night, and you'd gone up to London.
I love you, Fin Dawley.
I know.
How could they let him out? You know what he's back for, don't you? It could ruin everything.
You're so calm.
It's only money.
If we lose it, we'll make some more.
I'm not going through that again.
What COULD you go through again? I won't let Mark Lovell take it away from us.
How will you do that? There's lots of things you don't know about me.
Ooh! I'm sorry, but we needed someone to identify the body.
I was with him last night.
A witness saw you arguing with Martin.
What were you arguing about? I can't remember.
Can you try to remember? Just stuff.
Can you be a little more specific? We always argue, we're brothers.
That's what brothers do.
DID.
Stephen, your brother's dead.
Now, after this argument, what happened? He stormed off.
To go home? No.
He wanted to confront Mark.
He wanted to Martin just wanted to warn him off.
So Martin went to Mark's house? Yeah.
What time was that? I don't know.
About seven.
So what did you do next? I went home.
It was Mark.
It was Mark, wasn't it? Why do you think that? My brother's dead! Is that genuine? Don't know.
Can I borrow your log-in key.
Why? I've lost mine.
Why? I'm stupid.
Long weekend - too many women, not enough time.
Demolition of existing light commercial property and erection of complex containing flats, letting facilities and commercial outlets.
Hmm.
Mr M Lovell, Mr and Mrs S Lovell and Mr Fin Dawley.
Stephen reads her a story every day.
He read her all your letters.
Sorry? The letters from prison.
He read them to her every week.
If you need anything, just call.
Thank you.
Hello, April.
Mumit's Mark.
I'm home now.
I'm home.
Boyd.
Yes? Stephen put his business share in Mandy's name.
Find out why.
- Remember the planning notice? - Yeah.
Proposed plans for the harbour - apartments, shops.
Total regeneration of the area.
It turns out a company called Waterside Housing is behind the project.
Who are they? The Lovells.
How did they get the capital? Their business isn't that good.
Cocaine.
OK, guys, listen up.
When Martin's head was decapitated, the knife left markings on the bone which indicate this knife was the murder weapon.
The blood in Mark's flat was the dead kitten's.
I'd say it was hit hard against the bookcase.
Grace.
What's going on? I go to my flat, can't get in, they bring me here.
Who's got my cats? Sit down.
We found Martin's body.
I say that quite literally, because we haven't found his head yet which had been hacked off.
Your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.
No.
This has nothing to do with me.
A knife we found in Shut up! Was Martin Lovell at your flat last night? You disgusting little! Whose knife is this? It's mine.
It was Thomas's.
But like I said, whatever is my father's is now mine.
He took it away.
Took it away? Yeah.
Did he threaten you with it? Yeah.
Yeah? I reminded him I'd been inside for 11 years.
People don't threaten you inside.
He said I'd no idea what I was getting into.
What did he mean? I have no idea.
What time was it? Seven.
Then what did you do? Tidied the flat.
Yeah.
Fed the cats.
Yeah.
Drove to my defence lawyer.
Of course.
Drank too much.
Dave will vouch for me.
He's a good lawyer.
Yes, he is.
Yes.
You need him.
Why? I think you killed Lovell.
You enticed him to your flat and sliced his neck.
Don't stitch me up! Dumped his body on the beach.
No! Calm down! I'll kill you! Calm down! All right? Don't ever do that again.
He's denying it? He didn't do it.
Mark's alibi checks out.
See? What was that about? Just pushing him.
What will you do with him now? Just keep him out of harm's way.
You don't bring in cocaine unless you can move it - organisation.
And contact with people who relieve you of your head and hands.
Yes.
OK.
Grace? Grace! She's too sensitive.
Too sensitive by far.
She was with me last night, stayed over.
Given the time of death, there is no way she killed Martin.
You sure? That's what you pay me for.
But Jack I can't protect her, you know.
Leave that to me.
I also think it would be a good idea if she got out of there.
You know what she's like.
Once it's in her head, nothing changes her.
You got something for me? Yes.
She gave it to me last night.
Jack? If I'm right in thinking what's in this envelope, that makes me A lawyer handing me an envelope.
The only crime here is how much you charge me for your visits! You protect her from the law.
I'll do the rest.
We found evidence of cocaine.
The Lovells were importing it.
Maybe not regularly but, by the packaging, quite sizeable amounts.
Thomas Lovell? Never! As for Martin and Stephen, no.
Fin Dawley is a business partner.
A silent partner who invested his savings and proceeds of a house he sold.
You're barking up the wrong tree.
(I'm not a squirrel.
) What was that? I said it's possible.
It's cos of what we did that this happened.
No, it's because of Mark.
Bastard Mark.
Fishing is what we do.
Stephen.
What's done is done! That's not important now.
Mark's a sick man.
Is he? I thought the only sick people here were us.
PHONE RINGS He killed Martin.
They will get him.
Hello? I know how you're feeling, mate.
You have no idea how I'm feeling.
The police want to see me.
You shouldn't read other people's diaries, it's rude.
Well, under the circumstances I was young.
A very close friend asked if I wanted to play a game of truth.
I said yeah and didn't think anything of it.
Course, I was cheatin' on the poor girl, I was seeing a boy behind her back.
She had no ideaor so I thought.
Anyway, she turned to me and said, "Let's play a game of truth.
" I said, "Sure.
" She said.
"All right, I'll go first.
" I waited.
Then she said, "I've read your diaries.
"Your turn.
" Who was the girl? Who was the BOY? Hi.
Fin Dawley.
Is he around? What happened to Martin is a disgrace.
Hello? You know who I blame.
Bill, stop it.
I blame the police.
I blame the police for letting Mark walk.
Really? Let me tell you something, Mr Durham.
This case is still wide open, so before you start to lay blame at Mark's door perhaps you could tell me where you were last night.
Stephen? He was different, wasn't he, Stephen? Him and his mother April, they were different.
They understood you in their way, didn't they? Tell me about Stephen.
I'll tell you about Stephen.
Stephen betrayed me! I loved him! I loved him and he betrayed me! Yes, yes, I saw them walk past.
And then Martin pushed Stephen away from him and then stormed up towards the far end of town.
Where Mark lives? That family's damned by tragedy.
What would Thomas Lovell think of Stephen and Martin's plans to develop this area? D'you think he'd be turning in his grave? No.
It was Thomas's idea.
Thomas had plans.
He could see potential in everything.
He had a dream to develop this area and turn it into something new.
He told you that? It was Fin that gave him all these big ideas.
Fin.
Fin was in the building trade, had an eye for a good opportunity.
Traded his house and life in London for an old boat.
An old boat I found him.
Taught him to sail.
Good, is he? Is he a good sailor? He was a natural.
Thank you.
'You don't bring in cocaine in 32-kilo bales unless you can move it.
That takes organisation 'and contact with people who'll relieve you of your head and hands.
'Lack of evidence or forensics should not prevent intellectual speculation.
You start with ideas.
'Four murders, Spence.
'Four murders, Spence.
Four murders.
' 'Now we know how they died, what does that say about the killer?' 'Devoid of emotion, no attachments to the victims whatsoever.
' ECHOING SCREAMS Stephen put the property he inherited from Thomas in your name.
Why did he do that? Precaution, an insurance.
Against Mark, yeah? You read things about people making claims that take years to be followed up on, however bogus.
Very sensible.
Might have been sensible if he'd remained behind bars to begin with.
Mark spent the night with his lawyer and his family.
He was with them when Martin was killed.
It's used for wrapping bales of cocaine and we found it in the hull of the Miss Maria.
Is your husband involved in smuggling cocaine? What? Course not.
No way! It was probably pulled up by one of the nets.
You can't prove it.
Could be from anywhere.
Where were you last night? We'll check your alibi.
If we find you're lying With Fin Dawley.
Fin Dawley.
Yep.
Does your husband know about your relationship with Fin Dawley? I wouldn't call it a relationship.
What would you call it? Sex.
Something I don't have with my husband.
Something my husband prefers to have with men.
I'd like to call my lawyer now, please.
'Forth, Tyne, Dogger - mainly south-easterly 3 or 4.
'Fair, moderate, with fog patches.
'Fisher, German Bight - variable, becoming east or south-east 3 or 4, fair' She's lying.
She's hiding something.
PHONE RINGS Spence.
Mandy Lovell is having an affair with Fin Dawley.
I think they've had it for some time.
You mean the affair? Er, yeah.
It's just a joke.
She's nervous.
She's phoning her lawyer now.
Make sure she's not phoning anybody else.
C'mon! Put me on the phone to Mel.
What? Boyd? It was Fin's idea to develop the boatyard into apartments.
That's what he and Thomas planned.
So get me anything you've got on Thomas's business partnerships and bring any documents to me.
OK? OK.
Where's here? At the seaside.
You know where.
His neck his hands were hacked off with what looks like Are you looking? A bread knife.
Who could be capable of such a thing? Your husband? You don't frighten me.
How about 12 years locked up for smuggling cocaine? Could he do this? Could your husband have killed his own family? His own brother? Stephen couldn't he wouldn't hurt anyone.
Boyd.
Hi.
I've got the stuff you wanted.
That's great.
Spence thinks Mandy's behind it all.
PHONE RINGS Hi, Frankie.
I've the results from my population geneticist.
He found two unusual alleles in Thomas and Mark's DNA.
What does that mean? Thomas is Mark's real father.
Tell Grace that and get her to talk to Mark Lovell.
Thank you.
What was that? Thomas is Mark's real father.
You're kidding! What are you doing? Going for a walk.
What? C'mon.
It'll be fine.
Trust me.
OK, now I AM worried.
OK, October 3rd, 8 o'clock - records show tides were going out.
What happens if the tide comes in? Boats facing in, tide's going out.
Boats facing out, tide's coming in.
OK.
Ughh! All very convenient - Mark convicted, Stephen takes over the business.
Puts his inheritance in your name.
NO! C'mon, Mandy, think about it! No! There is no way he could do that.
Did you know Stephen was gay when you married him? You have no idea who Stephen is or isn't, have you, Mandy? Thank you.
Ma'am.
Boyd would like you to stay here for your own safety.
Well, I think I should still call Miles.
You don't need a lawyer now.
I'll always need Miles, he's the closest thing I've got to family.
I don't know whether this is the appropriate time, but the DNA samples Doctor Wharton took are a match for Stephen's.
He's your brother.
Yeah, I know.
April told me before she became ill.
I've known for years.
Soshe told you about Thomas, then? Thomas? He's your real father.
I wish I could say I knew how you felt, but I don't.
Why didn't he just tell me? Once a lie gets past a certain point, it starts to seem true.
It's easier to live with the lie.
It feels like I've always known.
I'm doing this for you, son.
Look at me.
Look at me! You OK? I don't know.
I need Miles.
OK.
Thomas Lovell is coming back, navigating up one of the channels.
He's got his wife, daughter and grandaughter.
He sees another boat, possibly it's in distress, so he stops to help him and they come aboard.
Come on, then.
Come on.
Right, gotcha.
They have a a fight.
He shoots Thomas Lovell OK.
.
.
in the shoulder.
A second gun shot.
That grazes Grazes Lovell's skull.
He falls into the water.
And the attacker thinks he drowned.
How did Thomas get back to shore? He walked.
The tide's going out, so he's just got to swim 10, 15, 50 yards to get to the mud bank, then he walks back, he walks back to raise the alarm.
The attacker realises that he's got three women in the hold.
'Where's Thomas?' He ties them up.
He gets on board his boat.
Ties the boat next to the Miss Maria.
takes it right out, over the USS Richard Montgomery Whacks a hole in the hull, so he scuttles the boat.
Then he sails his boat back to the channel, cos the channels are full.
Which way do they face if the tide's coming in? If the tide's going out they face out Tell me about Thomas's plans.
Thomas wanted to sell the business.
He'd had enough.
I heard him, we all heard him tell Mark.
Mark wasn't interested so he just wanted to get rid of it.
How did that make Martin and Stephen feel? How do you think they felt? Tell me about the drugs.
Whose idea was it? Martin's? Stephen's? Or did somebody else put them up to it? Keep walking, just keep walking.
We're not We're not going to make it.
We're miles from anywhere Let's get in the boat.
Let's get in.
Oh, my God.
What? Nothing Don't look.
What is it? Argh! Don't, don't My God! Get in the boat.
Get in the boat.
Just give me that bag.
Careful Be careful.
Just give me the bag.
OK.
Oh, my God.
Shit.
Move over there.
Where's the engine? There it is.
ENGINE STARTS HE LAUGHS Move faster.
Yeah.
Five people are dead.
Who's behind the drugs? WHO was behind the drugs? Who? It was all of us.
Martin and Fin mainly.
And Stephen? He hated doing it.
But he knew the waters better than anyone.
Here and over the Dutch coast.
Who organised the distribution? KNOCK ON DOOR Just throw a rope.
Thanks.
Caught by the tide? Yeah.
I just drive a car.
It's a mystery to me.
Thanks.
My pleasure.
If you want to go out sometime with someone who knows what they're doing Yeah.
Let's go.
I want a pee.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit! Mel.
Mel! Mel.
Yeah.
How long does it take to do a pee? Excuse me, what are you doing? That was my first question.
Sit down.
Why have you locked the door? One more time - sit down.
Sit down.
Who are you? I'm Detective Super I'm Detective Superintendent Boyd and this is DC Silver.
Snap! Now we've established common ground apart from the MET, are you working for anyone else? You found him, so you must be good.
I'll give you that.
Found who? Dawley.
Detective Superintendent Server, you've got two options.
The first is leave this with me, go and contemplate your career, which is now at an end.
Mm-hm.
What's the other one? Shoot me.
What were you and your brother really arguing about the night he was murdered? He wanted to confront Fin.
Fin? Why? It all started a few months before Thomas died.
Fin said all we had to do was bring a few packages over.
Cocaine.
From where? Holland.
And Thomas found out? Yeah.
We only meant to do it once.
But once we'd done it Martin got a real taste for it.
It was just so easy.
How much did you bring over? I don't know.
First time it was three bales wrapped in plastic.
Then five, six, even seven at a time.
That's a lot of cocaine.
How much did you get for it? Ten grand a trip.
Fin and Martin wanted to do it again.
I didn't want anything to do with it.
Then Thomas found out.
Said he was going to the police.
So you stopped him? What's in the bag? It's a scarf that got soaked.
I'm cold and I'm wet.
What is this about? What's your interest in Fin Dawley all about? Who are you working for? Witness protection.
You accessed his file.
Your log-in number came up, so what's the game? I'm investigating the murders of almost an entire family and I got suspicious that drugs were involved, and now that I've met you, I'm convinced.
Would you mind pointing that gun down, please? Thank you.
Who is Fin Dawley? What a bloody stupid name Fin Dawley is.
Couldn't you have chosen something sensible? What's his real name? Did you or Martin have anything to do with the murder of Thomas' family? Fin Dawley turned grass What's his real name? John Bryson.
He ran coke for certain Colombian families here in the UK.
And he was responsible for the importation of over ã200 million worth of cocaine.
With his help, we, the FBI and the CIA have put away three cartels.
But there's a lot more to be done.
So you see there are certain parties who are very committed to keeping him safe.
If I can prove he murdered Martin Lovell, he can tell you all he wants from the safety of his cell.
Well, can you? Because if you can't, don't even think about bringing his name into the public eye.
Are you threatening me? Boyd No, no, wait.
Are YOU threatening me? A few fisherman are diddly shit compared to the lives we can save, IF we keep him safe.
You're moving him.
Give me a good reason not to.
I've got five good reasons not to.
Can we go now, please? Thank you.
Goodbye.
BOYD'S MOBILE RINGS Yeah, hello.
Boyd Listen.
Do the initials FD mean anything? Why? I think Emma Lovell scratched the initials of the killer on the hatch door before she died.
Fin Dawley.
Yes.
So all we've got to do is prove it.
I can!.
I've lost the keys.
I'm on my way back with a present.
Still need the toilet.
I chose not to see it.
I chose to ignore it.
We told Fin Thomas was going to tell the police.
Did Fin deal with Thomas? With Thomas.
Notnot Penelope notnot little Tessa They weren't supposed to be there.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
We didn't know he was We wanted to stop the Holland trips .
.
but Fin couldn't let it go.
He kept drawing off more for himself until our share was just a couple of hundred quid.
He had us over a barrel.
And Martin? He wanted to stop.
He wanted to come clean.
Fin killed him, didn't he? This is Mel's DNA and this is alien DNA that I found on Thomas Lovell.
Now, this is a DNA sample that I took from the cat's claw and it matches Mel's.
This is also another DNA sample that I took from the cat's claw and it matches the alien DNA.
Fin or whatever his name was Fin Dawley.
.
.
was there in Mark's flat.
By the way, thanks for the head.
It's my pleasure, Frankie.
Thank you very much.
Ah.
SANDING MACHINE BUZZES John Bryson? I assume you know Detective Superintendent Server? 'Mark was obsessive and his ability to hold a grudge alarming.
'If anyone harmed him or in his eyes caused him any injustice, he spent weeks plotting his revenge.
' Shadowy man.
'Mark can do anything he puts his mind to.
'Including murder?' Oh, my God.
GIRL SCREAMS Oh, my God.
I missed it.
He knew all the time.
That's why he came back.
You should have come sailing with me.
It's fun if you're with someone that knows what they are doing.
But, then, so can lots of things.
EXPLOSION Get down.
Get down! Get him safe.
Get down! Get down! Mel I'm OK.
You've got a visitor, Mr Ely.
Course I have.
