Waking the Dead (2000) s05e03 Episode Script

I'll keep the bed warm for you.
IC3 male, Tom Palliser.
Eight years ago he left work and was shot three times.
I want you to know that I forgive you.
This is one of your old cases.
Yes.
I'm an innocent man.
I'll die with my conscience clear.
If I'd known that Vine had murdered Tom, don't you think I'd have lied? He was on the phone to her when he was shot.
If these people look good to you, Spence, you talk to them.
That's what re-opening a case means.
The gun that killed Palliser.
Did Vine ask you to re-open it? No, it was my decision.
Why did Boyd re-open this case? You know as much as I do.
Have you seen these? I didn't kill Palliser.
DI Gulley? You're not very popular in this nick, Boyd.
We've got a lead on Baxter.
Mr Baxter? The defence admits that there are reasonable grounds to support our client, Edward Vine, being granted leave to appeal his conviction.
Slide over.
I'll drive.
Please, you have to help! He's driven off.
He's going to hit someone else.
Where've you been, Boyd? And where were you at eleven o'clock last night? What's going on? Don't, Boyd.
You bastard, you just left her lying in the street.
What? Don't say anything, Boyd.
You haven't cautioned him.
We should get him to a doctor.
Please.
I'm talking about drink driving, hit and run, leaving the scene of an accident.
Accident? I don't know anything about an accident.
I wouldn't Is your car in the car park? Yes.
Keys.
Who did I hit, Grace? A 19-year-old girl on a motorcycle.
Is she OK? You should have thought about that last night instead of leaving her there to die.
She's not dead, but she's in intensive care and she's got a a broken pelvis and internal bleeding.
Superintendent Boyd, I'm arresting you for dangerous driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Shall we? Spence.
My Lord, my learned friend, our client thanks the court for hearing the case for the appellant with urgency and expedience.
On June 11th 1997, our client, Mr Edward Vine, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Mr Tom Palliser, but was sentenced to life imprisonment.
It is our intention, my Lord, to prove the original conviction unsafe and introduce new findings to the court.
Our client has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
We therefore respectfully ask the court to take into consideration Mr Vine's medical condition when determining the question of bail.
We ask that Mr Vine be allowed to spend the last few weeks of his life out of confinement while he receives palliative treatment.
He is keen to put his estate in order before he is obliged to permanently seek residential care.
It is unfortunately very possible that Mr Vine will not live long enough to hear the outcome of his appeal.
I remember going to see Sheryl Palliser at the club and after that I don't remember anything.
Try harder.
We've got a young girl in intensive care.
So, where were you all night? Parked somewhere, asleep.
Do you normally sleep in your car? Yeah.
No, of course I don't! Come on! How much did you drink? A couple.
I'm not a big drinker.
Yesterday wasn't exactly a normal day for you, though, was it? Is that a rhetorical question? Do you want me to answer it? Or do you want to stick to the facts? The facts.
OK, Superintendent Boyd.
As a fellow police officer, you'll appreciate my problem.
Sheryl Palliser says you had three whiskies, were not fit to drive.
If I'd have had three whiskies I wouldn't have driven.
Which brings me to my next problem.
Three whiskies, as any copper will tell you, does not result in amnesia.
Therefore, Superintendent Boyd, I think you're lying.
That enough facts for you? I'm not lying.
You left her bleeding to death in the road.
I wouldn't have done that.
Not on any normal day, no.
We realise you acted totally out of character yesterday.
The Vine case.
You had to face up to the fact that you'd imprisoned an innocent man.
And you do hate to be wrong, don't you, Superintendent? Yes, I do.
So you're racked with self-pity.
You go to Sheryl Palliser's club and you get pissed, and then you get in your car and you drive.
She realised you shouldn't be driving.
She begged you.
Screamed at you to pull over.
You knew you weren't fit and you kept on driving.
Shit! Shut up! Shut up! This doesn't make any sense to me.
If Sheryl Palliser hadn't forced you to stop, you might have almost killed her too.
Instead you take off, leaving her there.
Had it not been for Sheryl Palliser's prompt attention, your victim would now be dead.
I do not remember any of this at all.
Let me jog your memory.
'Police! We've just hit someone 'And he's driven off.
He's going to hit someone ' And these, from the CCTV.
'It's a motorcyclist, she's unconscious.
'Hold on.
'I think I can ' HE STOPS TAPE Ah! This isn't right.
This is not right.
OK? This isn't right.
Well, if the jury don't buy your alleged drinking or Sheryl Palliser's emergency services tape, there's the damage on your car.
And if I were you, Superintendent Boyd, I would, I'd just face up to the facts.
I'd put my hands up.
The fact is I don't have any memory of what happened last night.
That is the truth and I'm not going to lie just to please you.
Now can you tell me, the girl in hospital, can you tell me how she is doing, please? I'm going to speak to the custody sergeant, see if he'll agree to you being released on bail.
You will have to appear at the Magistrate's Court in the morning.
And I don't have to tell you, we'll be asking for your warrant card.
I'll drop you home.
The doctor warned him and he still had a drink.
He did have a pretty difficult day yesterday.
He had three drinks, Grace.
Got into his car, and he drove.
Right, erm Let's go through it again.
What causes amnesia? I don't buy this memory loss crap! Shut up, Spence.
All you're worrying about is that Boyd let you down.
You put him on a pedestal and he's fallen off.
That's rubbish! No, it's text book.
What we need to do is focus on Boyd.
They've taken away his warrant card, Spence.
So they should.
OK, amnesia.
And if you start to sulk you'll totally lose my respect.
Psychological trauma.
Physical trauma.
PTSD.
Chemical.
Yeah, what drugs did they give Boyd at the hospital? Painkillers.
Something for the swelling.
Could have caused a reaction with the alcohol.
I'll see if I can get the prescription.
Thank you.
Look, even if that's the case, yeah he still drove.
Yeah, but you know that is totally out of character.
No-one's going to say it, Grace, but we've all seen him lose control.
Oh Oh, yeah, but that is so different.
Oh, yeah, he gets angry, gets frustrated, but he would never direct that at an innocent bystander.
Yeah? Tell that to Sheryl.
PHONE RINGS Yeah? The Deputy Commissioner's rung.
He wants us to drop the Vine case.
That'll make the team happy.
I haven't told them.
Are you Are you thinking of going to the hospital to see the injured girl? I was, yeah.
Why? Don't.
Why not? Just ask yourself who you're going for.
Her or you? OK.
Bye.
So what were you and Boyd talking about that night at the club? We talked about my husband's murderer walking free.
That's what we talked about.
It can't have been easy for you, all this.
How did he seem to you? Did he seem upset? He'd had a few.
You know, one minute we were laughing and joking, the next the car's all over the place.
I thought he was going to kill us both.
And he's shouting at me and we're on the wrong side of the road and I can see this motorcyclist When Boyd drove off like that I couldn't believe it.
Well, you see, that's our concern, because we couldn't believe it either.
It's so unlike him.
Don't worry, I will find Baxter.
Everyone in this station wants Vine to get off.
Even if he is dead when it happens.
OK.
I appreciate what a tough call this is for you.
What? The more you investigate, the more you drop your boss in it.
We're approaching this like any other case.
Oh, the witness, Hazel Adamson.
Did you speak to her yet? She died.
What? She died.
Well, that's one piece of luck for Boyd.
What do you mean? Oh.
Forget I said anything.
They were just rumours.
What was? I don't particularly like the guy, but I personally don't believe he would rehearse a witness.
But Rumours.
I'm not sure I should be talking to you.
Why not, Mr Adamson? Well, you had nothing to do with the case.
It was Boyd we dealt with.
Boyd told me about your wife.
I'm I'm very sorry.
At least we got to say our goodbyes.
Not like Mrs Palliser.
Oh.
Thank you.
Oh, I read about the accident in the papers.
I was really shocked.
Not like Boyd letting the pressure get to him like that.
How do you mean? Vine asking for an appeal.
I'm not sure Hazel could have gone through all that again.
Well, no, it's very stressful being in the witness box.
Well, that was only the half of it.
All those threatening calls in the middle of the night.
If it hadn't been for Boyd Oh, yes.
He can be very protective of people he cares about.
Oh, we really appreciated it.
It was like having a friend in the house.
He hardly left Hazel's side in the run-up to the trial.
It's like Boyd said, once Vine was in prison, they'd leave us alone.
It must have been very important for you to get a conviction.
How do you mean? To stop Vine, or whoever it was that was intimidating you.
Talk to Detective Boyd, Dr Foley, if he's your colleague.
He knows more about the Vine case than me.
He may not be the most trustworthy of sources, but it certainly squares with what Adamson said.
There's something I need to discuss with you both.
The Deputy Commissioner has asked us to drop the Vine case.
I would like to carry on, but I understand if neither of you wish to.
Well, OK.
If we do carry on, it might not be the outcome that Boyd hoped for.
There are things we need to know.
We keep going.
Things like what? Maybe the rumours Gulley talked about were true.
Vine's defence claiming Boyd fixed the witness.
Spence.
Come on, Grace, Vine was corrupt on and off the force.
Boyd was so obsessed with bringing him down, not only did he allow a woman to commit perjury but he let the real murderer, Baxter, go.
Can we just remember that all this is supposition? And just because Baxter's DNA is on the weapon doesn't necessarily mean he killed Palliser.
Yeah, but it's fast becoming a probability though, isn't it? Hmm? You're going to have to talk to him, Grace.
Sorry to interrupt.
DC Stella Goodman.
Oh, my God, I totally forgot you were joining us.
Joining us? Yes.
The Deputy Commissioner phoned Boyd.
Hello.
Dr Foley, Grace.
Er Dr Gibson.
Felix.
Hi.
And DI Jordan.
Hi.
Don't let me interrupt whatever you were talking about.
We've finished.
What are we working on? Er We've got a really interesting case on Dupuytren's contracture.
I'm sure Felix will be happy to bring you up to speed.
Of course.
Come through to the lab.
So we can trace that man's ancestry back to the Vikings? Yes.
That's amazing.
That's what I thought.
DI Jordan wasn't so impressed.
DI Jordan doesn't seem easily impressed.
PHONE RINGS Does it affect the feet? Sorry.
Felix Gibson.
Stella? Stella, would you mind? Thanks for getting back to me.
You treated a Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd Superintendent Sorry, I didn't know you'd be here.
Me neither.
How are you? Grace.
Spence.
How are you? Let's go into the office, shall we? Would you excuse us, please? I know you need answers from me about what happened last night, but the truth is .
.
I have no recollection of anything.
And I have no idea why.
I don't buy it.
As far as I'm concerned You think that I'm lying? You had a bang on the head, painkillers, three whiskies, then you knocked over a motorcyclist.
End of story.
What, you think I would lie? I nearly kill someone, so to cover it up you think that I would lie? It's possible.
Oh, Spence Grace? Does he know you have to drop the Vine case? Yep.
We've decided to continue.
Why? I want to find out the truth.
Does she Stella.
Stella.
Does she know? OK.
So We've got a lead on Baxter.
A guy named Ollie Daniels.
So, we'll follow it up.
SPEECH INAUDIBLE PHONE RINGS Hello? DC Goodman.
The banker then.
Parks? He's due in any minute.
Well, I would like to observe that interview if it's OK with you.
You're suspended.
The rest of us are risking our careers having the man in the building.
KNOCKING Yes? There's a Dominic Parks here for you.
He's got his solicitor with him.
- Show them to the interview room.
- I don't know where it is.
Look Could you close the door on your way out, please, Stella? Felix is trying to find out if there are any side effects for the painkillers you took yesterday.
Thank you.
If you want to help, we could talk about Hazel Adamson.
There's nothing to say.
I was wondering if we could just go Please.
Grace, please I'm, erm due in court.
Thanks.
He was your driver.
He was allocated to you regularly and you don't recognise him? Well, maybe if you had a photograph of the back of his head.
You say you're good at your job? Yes.
You broker deals.
Yes.
In your line of business you meet lots of different clients? Exactly.
You've got it.
So remembering names and faces is very important to you? It's how you earn that fantastic bonus.
And you expect me to believe you don't recognise your regular driver? I'm telling you, I don't know this man.
I've never seen him before.
You got talking to Baxter.
You said you had a friend with a problem.
Baxter likes you.
He tells you to leave it to him - he'll get rid of the men who are blackmailing you.
This is a bloody nightmare.
I understand your confusion, I do.
Eight years.
You must have thought you'd got away with it.
You're good with figures, Mr Parks.
What are the odds of a man suspected of murdering a blackmailer being the driver of the man being blackmailed? You don't have to answer that.
Either charge my client or end this interview.
As you said, Mr Parks The City doesn't like scandal.
Are you trying to coerce my client? I'm saying we will get Jimmy Baxter, and when we do all this will come out.
It would be in your best interests, Mr Parks, if you were to co-operate.
This interview is terminated.
Do you mind? In view of the evidence presented by the Crown, this Court orders you to be remanded on conditional bail pending a pre-trial review of your case.
The conditions of your bail are that you refrain from driving and that you will not leave the country under any circumstances.
Hi.
DI Jordan.
I'm looking for Ollie Daniels.
DI Jordan.
What do you want? I ain't done nothing.
Well, why did you run? You can still pick me up.
Don't worry, I'm not interested in you.
I'm looking for Jimmy Baxter.
What's this? Some sort of set-up? What do you mean by that? You's lot are more likely to be talking to Baxter than I am.
What are you saying? He's one of your informers, that's what I'm saying.
We all know.
Who's "we"? Well, my mates in Wandsworth for a start.
Baxter grassed your mates? I find that unlikely.
Explain this.
Jimmy and some fellas I know, they got hold of some plasma TVs from a warehouse about six months ago.
Everything went sweet, no problem.
Then out of the blue your lot come in, they all get nicked.
You're saying Baxter was arrested six months ago? Yeah, all of them were arrested.
They all got banged up apart from Jimmy.
Jimmy walked.
You'll understand if I don't want to be seen chatting to a copper.
I just went back over Jimmy Baxter's file.
There's nothing in there about an arrest for robbing TVs.
Maybe there wasn't enough to charge him.
Yeah, but there'd still be a record of the arrest.
Let's see It's certainly strange.
I may need to get back to you.
Oh, no.
What? Hi.
So where are we? Oh, come on.
We talked about this.
How did it go in court? You feel you're compromising your career.
Mine's going down the toilet.
So what's happening? We were discussing a robbery, weren't we, Spence? Six months ago, all the suspects ended up on remand in Wandsworth, except Jimmy Baxter.
Baxter? Yeah.
Who took them in? Hang on.
Stan Gulley.
Gulley? Yeah.
Was he running Baxter then? Could be.
Just a minute.
Come in.
The car company Baxter worked for.
Porchester Cars? The company used by Parks' bank.
I decided to take a look.
They have no record of a driver named Jimmy Baxter.
Thank you.
What if they were paying him in cash? Porchester has contracts with several financial corporations.
They assured me it's against their interest to use black market labour.
I'm inclined to believe them.
I hope that helps.
What have you told her about the case?! Nothing.
She knows all the people involved! For God's sake! Make the connection! Parks doesn't know Baxter! Right.
We saw it in his file.
We saw it in Baxter's file.
So who put it there? Wait a minute! Where are you going? Where do you think you're going? What really happened with Hazel Adamson? I'm the senior investigating officer now.
You will answer me.
What are you going to do, Spence? Arrest me for withholding information? Yeah, well, I tell you.
I did exactly what you said.
Now I've got some black cop asking questions about me.
Just get him off my back.
Just some over-ambitious fast-tracker digging around your robbery.
I'll take care of him.
That would be nice.
As a precaution, I suggest you lie low for a while.
Do you want me to sort somewhere out for you? OK.
I'll get back to you.
PHONE RINGS Hello? Hello, Grace Foley? Boyd? Where are you? What are you doing in here? I didn't want to go back to my office and I don't want to go home.
I remembered something.
What? Me Driving.
I think I was drunk.
Oh.
I don't know what to do, Grace.
I don't know how to get out of this place that I'm in now.
Well, you could talk to me.
As a friend, not a therapist.
We could start with Hazel Adamson.
She didn't see Vine that night, did she? She saw someone Vine's build, height.
But no, she wasn't able to make out his face.
You're obsessed with Vine and I I don't know why.
the CID, Vine was already there.
He was a DI.
I was directly answerable to him.
The first case we worked on was a rape.
This man had done nine rapes.
Horrible.
Horrible.
We had him on the last one but there was a problem with the forensics.
Cross-contamination.
So it looked like he was going to get off.
So Vine and I fixed it.
You fixed the evidence? Yes.
And? I didn't know at the time that Vine was into all kinds of things.
Running protection rackets, extortion, anything really to to make money.
And you tried to stop him? No.
No, I didn't.
I used to go with him to collect the money.
You know, when he asked me.
I'd just stand there, alongside him.
Why? I felt he had me.
Because of the rape fixing case? One day he One day he came to me with an envelope with £5, 000.
Then, as he gave it to me, I looked at him and I knew this was the moment that he was cutting me in.
Were you tempted? Yeah.
Yeah, I put the money in my jacket pocket.
I walked around for days with £5, 000 in my jacket.
Please tell me you gave it back.
I didn't.
I wanted it.
After six days I went back to my flat and I burnt the whole lot.
Every last single note of the money I burned.
And then what happened? I tried to expose Vine.
I went to his bosses but there were too many people involved and I They just kicked me out.
Told me I was a snitch.
And when Vine shot Palliser and seemed to be getting away with it, you wanted to make sure he was punished this time.
Yeah.
Because I hated him.
But you believed then that he was guilty.
Yes, I did.
And now? I don't know.
I don't know.
CAR HORN BEEPS Oh, damn! For God's sake! Here, let me help you.
I can manage myself, thank you.
- Not an easy start, hmm? - Memorable.
But no, not easy.
I don't want you to think that Boyd's - He's a good policeman.
The best.
- I know.
That's why I wanted to work here.
After this, you might as well go back to the Deputy Commissioner and tell him the team's on meltdown.
That's not my style.
Sorry.
We haven't been properly introduced.
It's a bit grim, isn't it? This is not grim, Jimmy, this is low profile.
Oh, that's nice Low profile now, am I? No, you're not low profile, Jimmy.
We're just trying to keep you out of harm's way.
So the Palliser murder is an old case of Boyd's? Yeah.
But strictly speaking not a cold case.
Right Stella, would you mind getting us some coffee? We're all caffeined up.
I can get you a coffee if you want.
No, it's OK Well, don't let me interrupt you, you're the senior investigating officer, so why don't you get on with it? We've been investigating Baxter as his DNA was on the murder weapon.
We thought he was hired by Dominic Parks but the link between Baxter and Parks apparently is bogus.
Someone changed Baxter's CV to make us think he was driving for Parks.
And we know through Gulley's CV that he and Vine worked together at West Brompton.
So perhaps the bogus link was Gulley's attempt to direct us away from From who really hired Baxter to kill Palliser.
Gulley or Vine, because Palliser was about to shop them both to the anti-corruption squad.
But Vine didn't ask us to re-open this case.
Boyd did.
No.
Vine planted the doubt in Boyd's mind because he knew Boyd, as a man of integrity, would pursue it.
Well then, if this is true, once Baxter has fulfilled his role he's of no use.
Right.
So you'd better get out there and find him, hmm? You're having a laugh, ain't you? I am feeling seriously undervalued.
It's not exactly the QE2.
We're just trying to keep you safe.
You don't really expect me to stay on this thing, do you? It hasn't even got any windows.
I've just left the judge's chambers.
He's agreed to grant you leave to appeal.
Yeah What about bail? You're to be released as soon as the paperwork is processed.
Because of your circumstances that shouldn't take more than a few hours to come through.
I'll be in touch.
Goodbye.
Detective Superintendent Boyd.
You're suspended, Boyd.
What are you doing here? One shot to the head.
Close range.
I think it must have been someone he knew.
Shame.
It would have given me great satisfaction to prove that this scumbag killed Palliser and that you've always been a lousy cop.
Get off my crime scene before I have you arrested.
It's temperamental.
Thanks.
Can I ask you something? Yeah, sure.
Could it be plausible that Baxter had nothing to do with Palliser's death? What do you mean? I don't know, things don't seem to add up.
I mean, Baxter's police file isn't that serious.
So you're saying there's nothing in his file to suggest that he's a contract killer? Exactly.
Even so, bullets led us to the gun, gun led us to Baxter Yeah, but how do we know the bullets that killed Palliser came from the same gun? Well, I checked it on the ballistics database.
I test fired it myself.
OK.
Thanks for the coffee.
You're welcome.
Bullet casings.
Howitzer 9x19.
Retrieved at a murder scene eight years ago.
I Yeah, I don't recognise the stamp.
Has it changed much in the last ten years? When I get I'm sorry, sir, but we have a problem.
Yeah? These bullets were fired from this gun.
We knew that.
But they can't be the bullets that killed Palliser.
I'm confused.
They were manufactured two years ago.
But surely when you checked the bullets you checked the casings for date of manufacture? I mapped the bullets on the database to match with a weapon.
I didn't check casing particulars because the validity of the bullets weren't in question.
But these bullets led us to the gun.
Exactly.
If the bullets are invalid, the gun is invalid, so Baxter's DNA is invalid because it comes from a gun that didn't do anything in the first place.
Precisely.
Whoa! Who could substitute the bullets? Someone with access to the exhibits and access to Baxter.
Gulley was running him.
Gulley.
He set up the new suspects with credible motives.
So he created the reasonable doubt in the first place.
So we're looking for two possible murderers.
Vine or Gulley.
I don't think Vine took the rap for Gulley.
Call the prison.
Vine passed a lie detector test.
He couldn't cheat it.
Well, you can, but it's not an easy thing to do.
There are drugs.
Neuro-muscular blockers.
Pipecurium bromide.
The right dose at the right time can numb the nervous system.
But you would need a doctor.
He's terminally ill.
He's got a doctor.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Why go to all this trouble? Vine's going to be dead in a few weeks.
What if he isn't going to be dead in a few weeks? Thank you.
Vine was released this morning.
Shit! I want the doctor in now.
I want to talk to him now! Mr Vine has a class four glioblastoma.
He needs constant medical attention.
It's pain management at this stage.
Who's his doctor on the outside? Get on with it, Spence! Just tell him we've got him.
Mr Vine made his, er own arrangements.
Come on, we both know there's nothing wrong with him.
Mr Vine is terminal and with weeks to live! Can you prove that? I want to see his scan and blood tests.
Just tell him we'll put him away Put your bloody ear-piece in! We can apply for a court order, Dr McNeil.
Go and tell him we've got Vine in custody, will you? Go on.
Put your bloody ear-piece back in, you little shit! Otherwise Vine was arrested 15 minutes ago.
He'll undergo a scan by the end of the day.
Yeah! How much did he pay you? He didn't.
So what did he have on you? A woman.
And you ended up in bed.
I'm a happily married man.
I have three young children.
I love my wife.
There were pictures and, er they were going to show them to her.
They wanted you to fabricate a terminal condition for Vine? Yes.
God! Jeez When they told you Vine had to undergo a lie detector test, did they ask you to help? Yes.
By using neuro-muscular blockers? Beta-blockers.
Propranolol.
So the whole lie detector test was invalid? Oh, Christ! Jesus! So is there anything else you want to tell us? They I They forced me to provide them with drugs.
All sorts of drugs.
Like what? Temazepam, Diazepam, GHB, Dihydrocodeine.
Not for their use, for sale.
Uppers and downers and painkillers.
What's GHB? Gammohydroxybutrate.
Yeah, but what does it do? Ask him.
It's a Ask him what it does! Can you tell us the effect of GHB? Yes, yes, of course.
Erm Well, it's a relaxant.
It reduces self will.
It induces loss of memory and it's usually out of the urine and blood stream within six to twelve hours.
It's most commonly known as the date rape drug.
The woman The woman that he was in bed with in the blackmail scam.
Ask him if he knows who she was.
The woman that they set you up with.
Who was she? I'd never met her before.
Was she black? Ask him if she was black.
Er Ask him! Ask him if the woman was black.
Ask if she was black! Was she Afro Was she black? Yes.
I wasn't driving! I wasn't driving, Grace.
Did you hear me? I wasn't driving.
I wasn't driving.
Grace! I wasn't driving! I've said I'm sorry, OK? Boyd.
Boyd! I'm sorry.
You think that's gonna do it? You think that's enough? I don't think so.
Why would Sheryl Palliser drug him? She had to get him off the case before he discovered it was a scam.
Got me to uncover enough evidence so Vine could make an appeal.
So they were lovers? It makes no sense.
Unless she believes he's innocent.
Let's go and ask her.
Call the CPS.
Bring them up to speed.
Will do.
OK, change of plan.
I want you to break into her house there, Stella.
OK.
Have you done that sort of thing before? A few times.
Good luck.
'You have no messages.
' MACHINE BEEPS KNOCK ON DOOR God, you're beautiful.
I've waited for this moment.
I've dreamt about you every night.
I've dreamt about you, too.
You're shaking.
Just nervous.
Hey, so am I.

Room 23.
A male checked in about an hour ago.
Did they have a description? Yes.
Sounds like Vine.
Call for back-up.
OK.
Bye.
I'm going to have a pee.
PHONE RINGS Grace Foley.
Grace? Stella.
Hi.
Listen, something's not right.
I'm in Sheryl Palliser's bedroom.
There are pictures of her with her husband all over the place.
That's not what you'd expect, not from a woman who has moved on.
No No.
If you're still in love with your dead husband why go to such lengths to get his killer released from prison? Unless she's looking for revenge.
Here's to us.
I'm sorry to interrupt you two.
Boyd, what the hell?! I want you to tell me something.
What? I want you to tell me, to my face, that you shot Tom Palliser.
You're insane.
You know I didn't kill him.
Don't listen to him, Sheryl.
What are you doing, you crazy bitch? What's going on here? What are you doing here? You convinced me, you told me.
.
You told me you had proof.
I've spent eight years of my life He's lying, Sheryl.
He was lying eight years ago, he's lying now.
Tell me.
Did he or didn't he?! Put the gun down.
Put the gun down, Sheryl.
The gun! Did you kill Tom? Oh, Sheryl.
Ask Boyd.
Go on.
Tell her the truth.
You know you did.
