New Tricks s06e03 Episode Script

Woah! Ha-ha! All right, mate, listen, five minutes.
That's all.
Your mum will go mad if you're late for school.
My grandson.
They got some energy at that age, haven't they? Ooh, look at that! Excuse me - that bloke, has he been there long? Not sure.
Is he one of the fathers? I don't think so.
Look, keep an eye on little Gerry for me, will you? Excuse me officer, I think that man's gonna need your help.
Excuse me.
Oi, I want a word with you! What are you're playing at? Let go of me.
Is there a problem? Yeah, Gerry Standing, UCOS.
I was just having a word with this gentleman about loitering.
Loitering? I was here looking for my wife.
And this bloody idiot Oi! Calm down.
Let's all calm down.
So you're waiting for your wife, are you? Well she can clear this all up, can't she? Why don't you give her a ring? Go on, nice mobile like that.
Looks like a good 'un, all mod cons.
Like a camera? I don't have to listen to this.
No, no all you gotta do is phone your wife.
You don't understand.
I think I do.
You haven't got a wife, have you? I have! It's justshe's supposed to Everyone thinks she's dead.
Look, I'm not some sort of lunatic.
And I'm not a pervert either.
I've seen my wife.
Here in this park.
Look, I know how that sounds.
Good, then you won't mind having a word with this officer will you? Fine.
Better tell them they can put away the pitchforks and the flaming torches now.
Gerry! Come on, son.
School! # It's all right, it's OK # Doesn't really matter # If you're old and grey # It's all right, it's OK # Listen to what I say # It's all right, doing fine # Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine # It's alright, I say, it's OK # Getting to the end of the day.
# Yes, nearly done, Scampi.
One metre, 95 Brian Just a minute, love.
What do you think you're doing? Measuring up for the new corner unit.
Aren't I, Scamp? You were going on about it.
I thought I might as well get cracking.
So I'll get some wood on the way back from work.
And I might invest in some new tools.
Yes.
Did you know you can get a laser spirit level accurate to within Brian! What did I say? It's not that big a job.
It's not half as complicated as it looks, actually.
It will be if you get involved.
That's not fair, Esther.
I'm good at DIY.
Meticulous in my measurements.
I put all the hard work into the preparation.
Yes, then after a week you get bored and we're left with a shed full of wood and some useless tools.
Well that won't happen this time.
No, I know it won't, because I'm getting a man in.
Over my dead body! Do you know how much a joiner costs these days? Possibly slightly less than a laser-powered spirit level.
I'm going to work.
And have you got references? Cos I'll need at least three.
What? Well, just give me the numbers of your last three customers then.
DIAL TONE Hello? Didn't Esther want to get a chippie in because she thought it would be quicker and easier? Well, she thought wrong.
You can't just entrust the integrity of your home to any Tom, Dick or Harry.
I need references.
Haven't you heard of word of mouth.
You know, asking down the pub if anybody knows a decent bloke.
Well, I tend not to get down the pub much these days, Jack.
Any other bright ideas? Well, you could use your well-honed police instincts.
Get two or three blokes in to give you a quote and see if you like the look of them.
Now that could work.
Gerry Standing? Yeah.
DI Petfield, North London Murder Investigation Team.
Oh, right.
I hear you've had a run in with David Fleeting.
Yeah, he was hanging around the kids in the park.
I didn't like the look of him so I had a word.
He spun me this line about his dead wife not really being dead.
It's not a line.
David Fleeting lost his wife, Victoria, in a car accident about 18 months ago.
No suspicious circumstances, no evidence of foul play.
But a year ago, he claims, he saw her going for a walk in Primrose Hill.
He's so sure it's her he wants it investigated.
File ended up on my desk.
Well, was it her? I seriously doubt it.
Mrs Fleeting was found dead at the wheel of her car.
Her sister identified the body.
It's all in the case notes.
Yeah, but you did make enquiries? Not yet, but I'll get round to it.
You know, during one of those months when I've got no shootings or stabbings to investigate.
Although I might have found time to cast an eye over the file, if I hadn't spent three months fielding calls from the bereaved and the deserted.
What do you mean? David Fleeting's so convinced Victoria's still alive, he's been talking to all the missing persons charities, asking if they've someone on their books who might have been mistaken for her.
Same age, hair colour, went missing around the time of the accident.
A sensible approach.
Sounds like something you could have done.
Yeah, well like I said, not my first priority.
So, you started getting calls? And emails and letters.
All from the families of missing women, all asking me to do the same thing.
Dig Vicky Fleeting's body up.
Oh, for God's sake.
I know.
They want the body DNA-tested.
Well, it's what David Fleeting wants.
His little campaign.
I've told him he's gonna need more evidence.
So he was in the park to see if he could spot his wife again.
That's right.
Oh, blimey! And there's me accusing him of all sorts.
Look, I won't be long, all right.
Thanks, mate.
OK, David, I'm listening.
I was at a law conference in the States, in some God-awful hotel in New Jersey when I got the call, to tell me Victoria was dead.
I went straight to the airport, but it was the day before Thanksgiving.
Not a good time to travel, I take it? It took the best part of two days even to get on a flight and that was via Budapest.
Owf.
I spent hours just sitting in departure lounges.
I was a wreck by the time I hit Heathrow.
Thank God Sarah was there to pick me up.
Who's Sarah? Victoria's sister.
Ah, she's the one who identified the body? She was brilliant.
She helped with the funeral and everything.
I don't know what I would have done without her.
But you didn't view your wife's body, not even at the chapel of rest? I got as far as the door.
Sarah said maybe I was doing the right thing.
Perhaps it was better for me to remember Victoria as she was.
David, what makes you so sure that your wife's still alive? I told you, I saw her.
And I know what you're going to say.
It's just grief playing tricks on my mind.
But I've had all that.
Someone wearing her perfume passing me in the street, seeing her coat in a crowd, this was different.
How? I wasn't even thinking about her and there she was, walking into the park.
I just abandoned the car, ran across the road .
.
she'd gone.
I tried telling myself I was being ridiculous, but I know my wife.
We were together for five years.
It was her.
I'm sorry, it still doesn't justify an exhumation.
I know, I'm a solicitor.
I knew I'd need proof.
That's why I went to the pub.
Yeah? To get the evidence.
Victoria walked past the entrance to the Sussex Punchbowl.
The area was covered by CCTV cameras.
What? There's footage of her? I'm guessing DI Petfield didn't tell you that.
No, no he didn't.
It's possible.
Well, same mouth and nose, same hair colour.
Well, it's longer but, but it's still Not enough.
I tell you what, if you're stuck for something to do, why don't you make a start on your paperwork.
Or, I don't know - call me old-fashioned - get working on one of our ACTUAL cases.
ALL: Oooooh(!) I called him some kind of pervert.
The least I can do for him is to put him out of his misery.
Isn't it? It's not me you've got to convince.
Gerry! There's someone for you at the front desk.
Eh? Why didn't they bring them down? Apparently we haven't got the room.
Come on.
Thanks for coming everybody.
It's a great turnout.
Stay strong.
We will make them listen to us.
David, what do you think you're you doing? I wanted to show you that this isn't just about me.
This is Diane.
Her daughter Jo went missing a week before the car accident.
Nobody's heard from her since.
Darren's wife said she was going to the hairdressers but she never came back.
Lucy's mother OK, thank you Mr Fleeting.
Look, I'm sorry you're all going through this.
But we can't just sign off on an exhumation.
Can't you at least just speak to Victoria's sister.
Maybe Sarah made a mistake when she identified the body.
Perhaps you should talk to her.
I have.
She asked me not to call her again.
I just think if it came from you Please, if she can't tell you anything new I promise I'll leave you alone.
Please, if not for me Where will I find this sister? Sydney.
Hang on, I can't justify a trip to Australia Actually, we can bring her into this building.
Any minute.
Brilliant though, isn't it? All those little glass wires and satellites in space.
Amazing really when you think about it.
If you're the sort person who does think about it.
Hello? Can you see me? Yes, Sarah, we can.
Thank you very much for agreeing to talk to us.
I'm Detective Superintendent Pullman.
These are my colleagues.
The police here said it was about Vicky? Yes, it is.
We've been speaking to David.
Sarah? Sorry.
Is he OK? Well, it depends on your definition of OK.
Well, is he looking after himself? He seems to be, yeah.
I take it you've lost contact? I used to call him every week to make sure, but I needed a break from him.
From this quest of his.
The sighting.
I assume that's what this is about? Yeah, we've seen the CCTV pictures.
So have I.
He emailed them to me.
And sent me hard copies.
And? It's obviously not Vicky.
And I've told David that.
It wasn't easy telling him he'd imagined it.
I mean, it did look a bit like her.
I could almost see why he'd get so excited.
He's totally convinced.
Yeah.
That's my fault.
I should have made him see Vicky's body before the funeral.
Made him say a proper goodbye.
Sarah, we have to make you aware of David's latest request to the police? He's demanding an exhumation.
A what? He wants us to Yeah, I know what it means.
I just can't believe you'd consider it! Well, it's early days yet, and we'd need a lot more evidence Good! Look, please don't do this.
It's not going to help David.
It'll just make things worse for him! Ah! What? I know, I'm sorry, but Sarah did not ID Victoria.
All that stuff about seeing the body? Lying through her teeth.
How do you know that? Look at this.
It's an MG11 witness statement.
Yeah, the bit of paper that Sarah supposedly signed to say she'd made the identification.
Now look at the signature.
This is a copy of Victoria's entry in the Death Register.
Sarah went to the Registrar's Office two days later for the death certificate.
Here's her signature again.
They're different.
According to flight records, she was still in Sydney when she was supposed to be making the identification.
She didn't get into Heathrow for another 24 hours.
And, she was only in the UK one night before David got back.
Yet he said she'd already made all the funeral arrangements.
She doesn't suffer from jet lag much does she? Where do we go from here? I think someone needs to do a proper investigation.
Yeah and it should be a UCOS investigation.
We got further in one afternoon than the MIT did in a whole bleedin year! I'm gonna have a word with Strickland.
Gerry, don't do that! Thank you.
Thank you for listening to me.
Mr Fleeting, we don't want you to get your hopes up.
Sarah didn't really say anything.
Victoria might still be dead.
It might still be her that you buried.
I just need to know either way.
Stop this conversation in my head.
I wake up convinced that she's dead, that I'm being delusional.
I tell myself just to drop it.
And then I remember what I saw.
It was her.
I'm so sure of it.
Her hair, her walk And then I think, what if I want it to be her so much that it's not a memory anymore, it's just a fantasy? What if I've added all the detail? So that's why I'm asking for the exhumation.
To stop me torturing myself.
An exhumation won't necessarily give us all the answers.
If anything, it'll raise more questions.
If we can just take it one step at a time.
You say Sarah was there to meet you at the airport? That's right.
Somebody needed to be there.
I was barely able to function.
I'm surprised I was on the right flight.
And she'd already started making arrangements? She told me not to worry about a thing.
She'd spoken to the funeral director and a date was set.
But, David, thisthis was your wife's funeral! Didn't you want to have a say? Sarah told me everything was being done according to Victoria's wishes.
Apparently, she and Victoria discussed all that after they'd lost their parents.
The strain was so great they wanted to be prepared for the future.
But Victoria never discussed this with you? I didn't want to.
As far as I was concerned we were going to be together forever.
Listen, if we do exhume the body we are going to have to do some DNA tests.
Of course.
So, we'll need a comparison sample.
Yeah, one of Victoria's old toothbrushes or hairbrushes? Come with me.
I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of anything.
That's perfectly understandable.
Although, I always thought they were some sort of confirmation.
That she really was dead.
Why? Well, because they are the things she would have taken with her.
Things her parents gave her, photos Will this do? Oh, yeah, that's great.
We're looking for a joiner, not the future Prime Minister.
This one's early.
That's a good sign.
EAST EUROPEAN ACCENT: It's not a big job.
I can do in couple of days.
You want price? Yes, please.
Now, this is final price.
There are no hidden extras and you only pay when I finish job.
Right, we'll need to think about it, have a talk.
Could you start tomorrow? David, you didn't really need to be here I needed to see for myself.
If it is Victoria in the coffin File under Grieving Husband.
And if it isn't? Then we have questions that need answers.
Such as where the hell is she? Is she dead? Is she alive? Is there a mix-up at the morgue? Yeah, but not by Sarah.
She was still watching the in-flight movie.
Oh, any word from our coppers down under? Still waiting to hear.
The most important question is, if it isn't Victoria, then who is it? And how did she get behind the wheel of Victoria's car? Are we looking at one murder investigation or two? No sign of foul play.
It was raining, and witnesses said she was driving too fast.
So? What do we do now? We wait.
Come on, lunch! PHONE RINGS Hello, UCOS.
I see.
Well, thanks for letting us know.
It's not Victoria Fleeting.
They've had an ID already.
Had a hit on the DNA Database.
They've emailed over her details.
They're coming through now.
Right, Brian, you and Jack start looking into Victoria's life.
I want to know everything, especially the last person to see her alive.
Gerry, you're with me.
Well, what about lunch?! The DNA matches a Turkish female, Sefika Yilmaz, who was added to the DNA database in 2007 after being arrested for driving without a valid licence, tax or insurance.
She's been missing for 18 months.
Where does everyone think she's been? On the run from authorities.
Over a traffic offence? No, no, immigration authorities.
While they were doing the licence check, alarm bells rang, they called in the Home Office.
The family's been living here illegally.
Now the husband, Bayram Yilmaz, was deported back to Turkey before she went missing.
Then there's a 15-year-old daughter, Kiraz who still lives here.
Gerry.
Ah, maybe we should, uh Hello? Sorry, we don't want to disturb you.
Not if you're, uh Candle wax, it gets absolutely everywhere.
Oh, you thought I was praying? No! Well, don't let me stop you.
This is God's house, make yourselves at home.
He's always in.
Or perhaps you just want a bit of silent contemplation? Either way I'm not really helping so I'll just We're looking for the Reverend Tony Granville.
Well, that's me.
Detective Superintendent Pullman.
This is my colleague Gerry Standing.
We're here about Kiraz Yilmaz.
The school said she'd be here.
She is.
Is this about Sefika? I'm afraid it is.
Oh, no.
Look, I think I should be the one to break it to her.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
The school said you and your wife were guardians.
Not officially.
What does that mean? Kiraz is my daughter Ruth's best friend.
And my wife and I were both very friendly with Sefika.
So when she disappeared we brought her home just until things were clearer.
And you thought Sefika would come back? Or at least get in contact and let us know she was OK.
Which, I now realise she wasn't.
Look we'd better go and find Kiraz.
Sanctum UK was set up free legal advice to those with immigration and citizenship issues.
There's a lot of demand for that? Oh, yeah.
British immigration law? Particle physics is simpler.
So, we're a drop-in centre.
People can just turn up and, uh, speak to a solicitor.
Like Victoria Fleeting? Mmm, she was one of our volunteers.
She worked at a high street law firm.
Yes, Church and Church in Archway.
Yeah, please.
They told us about you.
Uh, sit down.
Dunno why she was wasting her time on family law, because she knew immigration law inside out.
We tried to get her to come full time.
Sanctum had just received funding for an in-house solicitor.
But she said no.
Why was that? She just couldn't.
No real reason.
That's how she was.
How do you mean? You know, guarded, private.
She watched what she said, kept herself in check.
Never lost her temper, dead tidy.
I think you can see why that might set her apart from the rest of us.
The only time I ever saw her emotions get the better of her was when she broke a cup.
A cup? It was nothing, but she just couldn't stop apologising.
She was in tears.
Neil Farris had to calm her down in the end.
Who's he? The other solicitor who used to do Tuesday afternoons for us.
We lost him not long after Vicky.
Why? He got married, became a father.
No time to volunteer any more.
We'd like an address for him before we go.
Geetan, what can you tell us about the day of the accident? Not much.
It was business as usual.
We were rammed, Victoria and Neil had their noses to the grindstone.
How did Victoria seem? Fine.
She was a bit stressed out about seeing one of her clients.
She had to deliver some bad news, tell her she was being deported.
Vicky seemed to take it to heart.
Who was the client? Sefika Yilmaz.
I knew she wouldn't just leave me.
I told you! What does she mean by that? We thought that Sefika may have disappeared deliberately.
Why? Because of Bayram being deported.
Sefika was distraught.
Why weren't they sent back together? It doesn't always work like that.
Some cases move quickly, others don't.
It's a lottery if you ask me.
But she knew that she and Kiraz would be next.
We found out after she went missing that her final appeal had failed.
They were due to be on a plane back to Turkey any day.
Yeah, but why do you think that she disappeared deliberately? We realised that her disappearance made Kiraz an unaccompanied minor.
And that meant, she couldn't be deported.
But what about her family in Turkey? Wouldn't she be better off with her dad? No! Oh, yeah, that's right, "send her back where she came from.
" That's what you lot always think.
No, no I was six when I came to this country.
I don't even remember living in Turkey.
I go to an English school.
I have English friends.
Oh, I even talk English, innit.
But don't you want to be with your dad? How can I be? He's dead too.
We don't know that.
We didn't come here for the great weather, you know! He was in trouble in Turkey.
Why? Because he spoke out about injustice.
He fought for what he believed in.
He joined a union at the factory where he worked.
It's not something that goes down well with factory owners in Turkey.
Mum said that Dad had made enemies.
That's why we could never go back.
Dad had no choice in the end.
Bayram stayed in contact for about a month and then Someone killed him.
If Bayram was in danger, why didn't he seek asylum? Because he entered the UK on forged papers and you can't apply for asylum retrospectively.
And then someone shopped him.
We can't know that either I do! And I know who did it! It was Aunt Yasemin.
You should be asking her why mum died.
Can I help you? Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman.
We're looking for Yasemin Ozan? Yes, that's me.
Is there a problem? Because if there is We need to talk to you about your sister, Sefika.
You have some news? Where is she? Umis there somewhere more private we could go? We'll go to my office.
Thank you.
How do you bury someone by mistake? We're not sure it was a mistake.
Oh, God, has someone let Kiraz know? Yeah, yeah, we've spoken to her.
How is she? She's going to need a lot of support.
Any approach from me wouldn't be welcome.
But I guess she told you all about her terrible Auntie Yasemin? Can you tell us more about why your sister and her husband came to this country? Kiraz didn't seem to know many details.
Bayram worked in a factory in Ankara.
There had been some accidents and people had been sacked.
He and others joined a union, made a big noise, tried to start strikes.
He upset some powerful people.
He was warned what would happen, but he did it anyway.
He was an idiot! Kiraz thinks he's a hero.
A hero does not put his wife and child in danger.
So, they came to the UK.
To you? I gave them everything.
Jobs here and a home in one of my properties.
But Bayram was not grateful.
He was bitter and jealous.
What was he jealous of? When I came to this country I worked on a market stall selling cushion covers.
Then I bought my own stall.
Then my shop on Green Lanes.
Then another and then another and then eventually this place.
I did that alone, not with family to help.
That's very impressive, Well, I didn't come here to watch TV and claim benefits.
Unlike some.
That was what Bayram and I argued about.
Where I saw laziness, he saw prejudice against oppressed workers.
You know the sort.
I certainly do.
No, I thought she talked a lot of sense.
Yeah, but she sounds like a Daily Mail editorial.
What's wrong with that? I read the Mail.
Well? Where is she? The investigation is ongoing, Mr Fleeting.
I know.
Why have you been ringing Victoria's friends? I wasn't aware we had been.
If they knew where she was, don't you think they'd have said? It's all part of the investigation.
The investigation you wanted.
I was told I'd be kept informed.
You will, as soon as we have something concrete to inform you of.
Has it occurred to you that I could help? I knew Victoria better than anyone else.
Better than her so-called friends, that lying bitch of a sister Mr Fleeting.
David.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I just This is so difficult.
Course it is.
But you've got to trust us, we'll find her.
When? When will you know? Gerry.
We can't tell you that.
But we've done some very good work today.
And not just her friends.
We've talked to her old bosses at Church and Church, Sanctum UK Where? The charity where Victoria Of course.
So you think they might be able to help? We don't know yet.
Perhaps if you'd let us get on? Sorry.
I was It won't happen again! Come on, governor, he was upset.
He was out of order.
All right, maybe, but he's had a lot to take on in the last few days.
Like the fact that his wife didn't just leave him, she had to fake her own death to get away from him? Hold on, we don't even know if she's alive.
Yeah, but we do know the marriage wasn't quite as blissful as David's making it out to be.
Do we? Well, he didn't know anything about her work at Sanctum UK.
I doubt he'd even heard of it.
Why would she keep it secret? Well, Geetan Mistry did say that she was a very guarded and private person.
With her own husband? But she wasn't always like that? I was talking to some of her law school friends.
And they described her as fun to be with.
Bright, cheerful and she was smart.
She graduated at the top of her class and was immediately snapped up by Madison Partners in the City.
It was also where she met David.
Three months later, they were married and she handed in her notice and went to work with Church and Church in Archway sorting out wills and conveyancing.
What was her reason for that, I wonder? Maybe she wanted to downsize and de-stress before she had children? Maybe.
What about her college friends? Did they ever keep in contact? No.
No such luck.
Most of them haven't seen her for years.
Not since the wedding.
So it seems that Sarah was the only one in regular touch with her sister after she'd married David.
PHONE RINGS Well, there's nothing much we can do here tonight.
I'd like to get back home on time.
He's worried that Esther's run away with the builder(!) Oh, yes, very funny.
Oh, a lot of women like a man who's good with his hands.
Don't be ridiculous.
OK, that was DI Skippy.
Apparently Sarah's gone walkabout.
They are gonna try the neighbours.
Don't, Gerry! I'll see you tomorrow then.
Well, if he's off Hang on, no, wait! The good Reverend Tony is holding a gathering to celebrate Sefika's life tonight and he's invited all of us.
I think we should go.
Why? Because it gives us a chance to find out more about Sefika.
Dig around a bit.
Of course, I can't make you come.
But you'll make our lives a bleeding misery if we don't.
Yeah.
I'll put my coat on then.
Here we go! Here, we should have brought a bottle.
I'd have been grateful for it.
I'm afraid I was terribly C of E about this.
I only got in a couple of bottles of sweet sherry and a Madeira cake.
But people arrived with food and music.
Who are all these people? Everyone! Sefika was really important in this community.
She was on the PTA, she raised funds for the day centre.
So, I rang some people and they rang some people.
I even rang Yasemin.
Any sign? No, but I wasn't expecting there to be.
And anyway, I mean look who's here.
All ages, colours, creeds.
I just wish I had this turn out on a Sunday morning.
She was popular then? Sefika? She was lovely.
She had time for everyone.
I just wish she could have seen this.
As long as Kiraz gets to see it.
Yes! Well said, that man.
Come on then.
In you come.
Help yourselves to food.
There's a feast of all nations in that dining room.
Go on then.
Bring me a plate.
Where's he going? Food.
So, are you investigating Yasemin, then? Kiraz, I think there are things that went on in your family that you don't understand.
Did she give you the full act? About how she just wants to be a good citizen? How she works so hard? I started with only market stall, now I have all this.
God save the Queen.
Whoa, have you tried that? What is it? I don't know.
It's made of aubergines I think.
I think I'll give it a miss until you have a positive ID.
Oh, I thought she'd come through here.
Who? Kiraz.
We just wanted to pay our respects.
Didn't realise it was such a big deal.
This is Neil Farris.
Oh, Gerry Standing.
Oh, sorry.
Gerry Standing, my colleague, Jack Halford.
Hello.
And you've met Brian, obviously.
Yeah.
Right, want a vase.
I'll find a vase.
I think you may have saved us a call, Mr Farris.
We're part of the team investigating Sefika's death.
We were at Sanctum UK and heard about the work you did on her case.
I talked her through the appeals process.
For the good it did.
Yeah, her appeal for deportation was denied, wasn't it? Yeah, once the authorities realised she'd travelled here on a false visa she had no chance.
We heard you worked with Victoria Fleeting, didn't you? We were there at the same time.
I was a volunteer for a couple months.
Oh, yeah, you've just had a baby, haven't you? Well, the missus did.
Sam.
He's just turned one.
One, eh? Great age.
Walking? Uh, no he's just cruising at the moment.
Cruising.
Yeah.
Let me show you this.
I only took it this morning.
He's a baby, all right.
He's a smasher, ain't he? Hold on, hold on.
Have a look at my grandson.
Gerry Junior.
Named after me.
Look there he ison your bike.
You should see Sam's hand to eye co-ordination.
THEY LAUGH DOOR OPENS Sorry.
Do you mind? It's a bit overwhelming in there.
Apparently I should apologise to you.
Really? Yeah, Tony had one of his nice chats with me.
I should be more grateful, because everyone's only trying to help.
He might be right.
Sometimes I wish him and Emma would just shout at me and tell me what an ungrateful little cow I am.
They've been great but But they're not your mum and dad.
I was a right cow to them as well.
Especially mum.
I was always arguing with her.
It happens.
I wanted her to stop treating me like a baby.
Kept telling her that I didn't need her any more.
It was the last thing I said to her.
She was waiting for me when I got in from school.
Which annoyed me.
It was Tuesday and she was supposed to be at that law place and I wanted the flat to myself.
But there she was, wanting to talk.
What about? She was being miserable and too serious.
She was always like that.
Banging on about who I could trust.
Knowing who I could rely on.
Like I didn't know who she was talking about.
Yasemin.
I think mum had had a row with her.
That day? What about? Dunno.
I wanted to watch a stupid TV programme instead of talking to my mum for the last time.
Don't you think that I WISH I had listened? Don't you think I want to know what happened? That's why you've got to find out for me.
You will do that, won't you? II don't know.
But I will do my best.
And then you'll tell me? Everything? Yeah.
No, no, little Gerry was just the same.
He used to sit in his high chair and just sort of take everything in.
They're like sponges at that age.
It's incredible.
You still at it? Brian and I are heading off.
All right.
Actually, I should be doing the same thing.
Oh, before you go, did Victoria ever talk about her husband? Her marriage? How life was treating her? Well, it was like I said, we barely knew each other.
Yeah, you said.
I'm sorry I can't be more help.
Cheers.
Dead end? I wouldn't be so sure.
Look.
What do you think? Yeah, so far, so good.
So, how long have you been here then? Since this morning.
I was on time.
NoI meant how long have you been in the UK? A couple of years.
So do you ever get a chance to get back to Poland? I do go home for Christmas.
See your wife is it or your girlfriend? Has he shown you? Have you shown him? Look at that.
Isn't it beautiful? Hmm.
It's traditional.
Yeah, but it's not on my plans is it.
Plans? He means that fantasy diagram he did on the computer.
It was a 3D animated elevation.
So, I'll be back in the morning and um, finish the rest.
I can't wait.
Good night, Esther.
Good night, Tomas.
Or should I say.
Do widzenia.
Oh, didn't I say it right? I was trying to say goodbye in Polish.
I like learning a foreign language.
Don't I? Apparently.
But I have a bit of trouble with the pronunciation.
Oh, no, no, no! It's very good.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Bye.
It will take about 30 seconds.
Yeah, 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back again.
Yeah, but you'll never get the 20 minutes you've spent arguing with me back either.
So come on, Kiraz, take the rubbish out.
Minging.
Everything in this house is minging.
Like whatever, innit.
Despite her limited vocabulary, she's obviously a bright girl.
Too clever sometimes.
And her temper! You wouldn't want to be on the business end of that.
Maybe it's just as well Yasemin didn't turn up.
Yeah, maybe so.
Although I did notice a few of her warehouse workers here.
Really? That's nice.
Is there something I need to know about Yasemin and the warehouse? I'm not really sure what you NEED to know.
Perhaps if you gave me some indication.
Well, how it usually works is people tell me everything.
Even if I have to take them to the station.
Right.
Because you see, in an investigation like this with one person missing, another one dead, every single detail is rather important.
Of course.
OK, well, you've got my number.
Thanks for a lovely evening.
You're very welcome.
You've finished, have you? No, I need to tidy up and ask Esther if she is happy with everything.
Oh, I think you know the answer to that.
Look, Brian.
Very nice.
Dziekuje bardzo.
Your wife, she is very happy.
Is good for you.
In Britain, happy lady, happy house.
Is it not like that in your country then? We're still a little old-fashioned, you know.
You must have seen some changes.
Yes, yes, lots of change.
When was solidarity legalised? Oh, what a great man, Old Lech.
Is he still with us? Er? Lech Welensa? Is he still alive? OK, I admit it, I am not Polish.
OK? Fair enough.
But you did say No, no, no, no! You said.
I just did not say anything.
But then your nice wife she, she learns to speak Polish to me She can say yes, and no and would you like a cup of tea.
She's hardly fluent.
She speaks more Polish than I do! So what do you speak? Albanian.
I know what you think.
That I'm a pimp with brothel for girls.
Some gangster.
Why, have some I have lost jobs, you know? "Thank you very much for coming, but we've changed our minds.
" Very polite.
Very English.
Well, I wouldn't have Look why don't I pay you? I presume you'd prefer cash.
What? What does it mean? No! Look I wasn't suggesting I send you invoice.
Including VAT.
The price I quoted.
That's great.
Sorry.
Happy lady, happy house.
And I found this card in the flowers.
While he was arranging them.
With all our love and eternal gratitude.
N and S.
Eternal gratitude? What did they have to be grateful about? I thought it was Neil helping Sefika, not the other way around.
What's the S stand for? Oh, it's Sam.
His baby boy.
Does he have a wife? Yeah.
What's her name? Thanks.
Well, you were the one exchanging family histories with him.
I don't know.
I don't think he ever mentioned his wife's name.
What? Ever? It is a bit weird, isn't it? I tell you what else is weird.
Yazemin never mentioned that on the day Sefika disappeared they'd had a big bust up.
Who told you this? That's not important.
What is important is you didn't tell us you argued with Sefika on the day she died.
Now why didn't you? Because What was said, was between sisters.
I think we're past that now.
She was in a bad way.
Upset and rambling.
She told me that she had to go away.
And she wanted me to promise that I would look after Kiraz.
Give her the things that she could not.
And what did you say to that? Yasemin? Believe me, I could bite my tongue out now.
But they had always been so judgemental.
Bayram and Sefika? Especially, Bayram.
He was so self-righteous.
Telling me how to run my business, treat my workers.
So when she came to me asking for help, I I told her to sort out her own problems.
Now I realise that is what my sister was asking me to do.
Look after Kiraz when she was gone.
That's why she stole her friend's car.
Victoria and Sefika were friends? Yes, she had been seeing Victoria for weeks.
They had got talking.
There was something about a man.
She had been match-making her with this other solicitor.
She said they were in love.
That it was obvious.
Er, did she mention a name? I don't think so.
I never heard the end of the story MOBILE RINGS Excuse me.
Detective Superintendent Pullman.
Cheers, Jack.
You will never guess who's just turned up.
Where is she? I don't know.
I was hoping by the time I got here you'd be able to tell me.
But she is alive? Yeah, but I don't know where she lives.
Bollocks.
Don't believe you.
We agreed to sever contact in case David found her through me.
As if she had died.
If he finds her first Haven't you worked if out? I mean, why do you think she did all this? Are you saying that David was violent to Victoria? You've met him, you've seen what he's like.
He knew who we were ringing.
And I gave him more information.
You were right, he didn't know about Sanctum UK.
That's where Neil and Victoria met.
She's with Neil Farris? Yeah, they're together, but I'm the only person from Victoria's old life who knows.
That's why Neil didn't put her name on the flowers.
Of course he wouldn't! He knows better than that.
We've all been so careful.
And you've led David straight to her.
Neil's address.
Gerry.
Can I come? No.
Please? OK.
Thank you.
Round here, somewhere.
Come on.
No, David, please, please, no! You stay here! Please, you're hurting me! No, please, don't David! No! You're coming home with me.
Where you belong.
HE GROANS Tell her! Tell her! Tell her I love her.
How I looked for her.
Make her understand.
.
David Fleeting, I'm arresting you for assault.
You do not have to say anything .
.
she's mine, not his.
David calm down or you'll hurt yourself.
We need an ambulance and a squad car.
Six Winsley Roadnow! Vicky? Vicky, Vicky Are you all right, sir? There's an ambulance on its way.
All right, mate.
Do you want to go inside? Yeah.
Here you go.
Oh, hello.
Hi, I was wondering if I could talk to Detective Superintendent Pullman? She's out at the moment.
Oh, um, of course.
Busy, busy.
Can we help? David liked to be in control.
I knew that when I married him.
That's what I wanted - someone to look after me.
I'd had to be totally self-reliant since mum and dad died and Sarah had left.
It was nice.
At first.
How did it start? My job.
He didn't like how well I was doing.
How it kept me away from him.
So, he just, kept chipping away.
Objecting to my hours.
He'd get so angry.
Say that I didn't love him enough.
That I would choose the job, not him.
When did he start hitting you? It was just a slap the first time I was late home.
He was really sorry and it was never going to happen again.
Pretty stupid, wasn't I? Soon it was happening all the time.
I just couldn't do anything right for him.
He'd got rid of all my other friends.
Wouldn't let me call them or visit them.
He said I belonged to him.
And if I ever left him, he was going to kill me.
And I knew he meant it.
I had no choice, I had to do what I did.
I didn't plan it.
Itit just happened.
I need you to understand that at least.
Please, I want to explain.
You will, but not here.
Come and get me when she's ready to leave, yeah? Will do.
Detective Superintendent Pullman seems to think that the smallest detail might be the key to finding out what happened to poor Sefika.
And the missing woman.
Actually, we We agree.
The smallest detail.
If only it was small.
Kiraz was wrong about Yasemin going to the authorities.
She wouldn't have, she couldn't.
I'm not sure we understand.
The faked visas came from Yasemin.
She smuggled Sefika and her family into the country illegally.
How do you know this? Sefika told me, in confidence.
And then a week later she disappeared.
It's highly unlikely that the two things are connected.
I know, but I have to think of Kiraz.
It's a great responsibility bringing up someone else's child and I have to put her first.
Even in front of Yasemin's poor workers.
I think you've lost me again.
The fake visas.
Sefika said that's where Yasemin gets her workforce.
Once she's brought them into the country, she tells them they owe her for documents and they have to work until it's paid off.
Which, of course, takes many years.
She takes money straight out of their wages, she barely leaves them enough to live on.
That's why Sefika and Bayram fell out with her.
Because of the way she treated those poor people.
You mean those poor illegal immigrants? I suppose, technically Look, I'm only telling you this to help with the case.
It has, hasn't it? Helped? We're pretty sure that Yasemin had nothing to do with Sefika going missing.
I don't suppose you could forget that I just told you about a warehouse full of illegal workers? It doesn't work like that.
No.
I suppose not.
Well, thank you.
I'll show you out.
Listen, just so you know.
It'll take me ages to get through to the Home Office.
Really? Oh, yes, it will probably be hours before I can talk to the right people.
So I suppose I can only hope that nobody nips round to the warehouse and tips anyone off.
No, that would be terrible.
Absolutely.
So, goodbye, Reverend Granville.
Goodbye.
Geetan came to the office looking for volunteers.
It was a window of opportunity.
It was great.
I was doing what I was good at.
And then you met Neil? I suppose, but I really didn't think of himromantically.
David still had me well trained.
So what changed? Sefika.
Neil and I were trying to help her through all the forms and hearings.
She was a lovely lady, we got talking.
And then one day, she waited for Neil to get a file or something.
She just said, "He loves you, you know".
Of course, I didn't believe her.
I got quite angry with her.
Next thing, I was telling her everything.
It just came tumbling out.
And I was supposed to be the one helping her.
But no-one could help her, could they? I'd known from the off that she had a hopeless case.
When I told her she was definitely going to be deported, she was heartbroken.
She wanted to know if there was any way Kiraz could stay.
And what did you say to that? The only way Kiraz could stay was as an unaccompanied minor.
And for that to happen, Sefika would have to disappear.
Is that when you came up with a plan for her to take your car? What? No! No, she asked for a glass of water.
When I got back, she'd gone.
So had my car keys.
And she'd left her handbag behind.
I thought she'd be back for it once she'd cleared her head.
So, you just went home and next thing that happened was a knock on the door? A policewoman and a policeman.
They said there had been an accident.
That's when I knew she was dead.
And then they asked who I was.
And what did you say? I told them I was Sarah.
Why? Because I didn't want to be Victoria Fleeting any more.
And for the first time I could see a way of making that happen.
And then I was standing in the morgue looking at poor Sefika's body and telling them it was me.
I know! It was a terrible thing to do.
That's why I called Sarah, I thought she'd tell me to stop being stupid and own up.
But, instead she got on the next flight back.
I had a day then.
A day to sort things out.
To decide where I was going to go.
But there was only one place I wanted to be.
With Neil.
Didn't he try and talk some sense into you? Of course.
But we were just so happy to be together.
So happy that you didn't think about anybody else? I was thinking of someone else.
I was thinking of the baby I was carrying.
I knew that if I told David Sam was his, he'd try and take him away from me.
Sorry, I'm still struggling with the part where you left a teenage girl alone, not knowing what happened to either of her parents.
I feel terrible about that.
If I could make it better You will, don't worry.
I'll make sure of it.
FOOTSTEPS Hello.
What I did was unforgivable and I'm not here for that.
Good because you're not going to get it! I didn't plan to do this, Kiraz.
I need you to understand just how desperate I was.
I get that.
What your husband did was crap.
That's right.
But what you did was just as bad.
You took advantage of someone who thought that you cared about them.
You just shoved her in some coffin, where no-one knew where she was.
No-one knew to take her flowers.
Where people were crying, but not for her.
How would you feel if someone did that to you and your boy didn't know where you were? Look I think that's enough.
No, wait! You're right.
I did something terrible.
And I can never make up for it.
All I can do is try to put things back to how they should have been.
I should have given you this a long time ago.
That's my mum's handbag.
What are you doing with it? I kept it for you.
Kiraz, your mum loved you very much I don't need you telling me that.
Why don't you just go? Take her to the car.
Come on.
Look I know it's hard, but you said you wanted the truth.
And that's what I've had, is it? Of course.
Didn't you think I'd be able to work it out? She killed herself, didn't she? For me, so I didn't have to go back to Turkey.
Kiraz, we can't know that.
She could have just lost control of the car.
The only person who could tell us what was going through your mother's head, was your mother.
So I'm not going to say I know how she was feeling.
Or how you feel now.
I can only say what I see.
What's that? A bright, intelligent, challenging, strong girl And I'd take a guess that your mum would be very proud of you.
SHE SOBS I hope you understand why I didn't tell you earlier about Yasemin and the warehouse.
Yeah, I do.
My colleague explained that you were on the horns of a dilemma.
They did? Good.
Actually, could you tell Mr Lane from me, thank you, and everyone's fine now.
Yeah, of course.
Bye-bye.
Right, thank you.
David Fleeting's been charged with GBH.
Ah, at least that's something.
Until he gives the judge the full sob story.
Bereaved and abandoned.
Yeah and hands up anyone who thinks he won't want access to his son? And he'll love having his day in court.
How do you mean? Another chance to have power over Victoria.
Man's a control freak.
He gives us control freaks a bad name actually.
Great.
Three arrests and I don't feel like we've got the right result.
Victoria and Sarah, they'll be charged with perjury at an inquest and giving false statements.
Possible seven for that.
And Yasemin? Any news on the Home Office raid? Yeah, they seized four boxes of documents from her house and she's helping them with their enquiries.
Good.
The strange thing was, when they went to the warehouse it was like the Marie Celeste.
Not a soul there.
Really? That is strange.
Isn't it just? Come on, pub.
# It's all right, it's OK
