Waking the Dead (2000) s06e08 Episode Script
Mask of Sanity: Part 2
HAMMERING ON DOOR Open up! Open the door! WOOD SPLINTERS OK, get him on the floor.
Grace? Yeah.
DIALS MOBILE We need an ambulance, right away, please.
HE SCREAMS What a mess.
Messy, not dirty.
What do you mean? There's a few dirty plates there and some in the sink, but these on the rack there, they're clean.
And then I mean, look the milk's not out of date.
So? So? Look, they've got some nice pressed shirts there Hi.
All right? .
.
and trousers, you know.
Hi.
You OK? Yeah.
Why did Jenson get beaten up? I dunno, but it was Harris Wall's security guys that did it.
Harris Wall? We gonna bring him in? Yeah.
There's some fresh blood here but I don't think it was Alan Pierce's.
I mean, there's no evidence of open wounds or gashes on the corpse.
Also, there's some dried blood on this bag.
And that pre-dates it? Yeah, it would seem to.
I'll take it back to the lab and get some DNA tests on it.
OK.
You OK? Good.
Good.
Bye.
Bye.
I didn't mean it.
I'm sorry.
Iwant my mummy.
I know.
DOOR OPENS Hey.
You're not supposed to be here, you'll get in trouble.
No.
.
.
Ah! Want a story? Yes, please.
Once upon a time there were four little rabbits.
Their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.
They lived with their mother in a big sandbank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree Stop the investigation right in the middle? Would that be the sensible thing? Just drop it.
OK, this is big news.
The fresh blood from the crime scene is a match to James Jenson.
James Jenson.
.
.
Have you checked the degraded blood in the the bag? No, I've not had a chance Could you get on with that, check the other stuff in the bag please.
I'm running tests.
Grace? What's this about Jenson being a blitz attacker? There's no sign of a beating.
This is the same as victims two and three, so Jenson could've done all of them.
No.
But Pierce has been killed in the same way as Goss and Reilly.
No, this is a copy cat killing.
Oh, God.
He killed him, yes, but he killed him in the only way he knew how, the way he'd seen it done in the past, but with a crucial difference.
He bound his victim's face with a tape so he couldn't see his eyes when he died.
It's a different situation.
So the binding around the eyes is the only different thing, but Valentine's different to Goss and Reilly.
YOU want this to be an isolated incident, don't you? I'll leave you You stay where you are.
You want me to be responsible for the fact that James Jenson killed Alan Pierce? OK, it's my fault, does it make you feel better? Happy now? Yeah, I've failed.
I hope I fail better next time! Yes, do.
I'm not interested, stick whatever you got up on the board.
Stella, I'll come with you.
I've not even had a chance to do a preliminary examination yet, but just at a cursory glance, I discoveredthese.
Scar tissue, welt marks.
Probably administered during childhood.
You wanna go another couple of rounds? Then I suggest you move out of my way.
Can I help you? No, you can't.
But you better tell me why your security guards beat the hell out of James Jenson.
Ah, you must be the person who was caught up in it I'll tell you who I am.
I'm the person who can put you behind bars.
Look, you got it all wrong.
We had some reports of an intruder on the property and when my security went to check it out, THEY were set upon bytwo black men.
- You're coming with me.
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Look, all right, I'll walk out with you.
- I know you will.
Hey, what's your problem? Let's go.
Sir, I've got it all up, it's a web of connection.
Sophie knows Jenson, she's the woman who intervened to stop him at the reception Ricardo's her brother.
Exactly.
She is married to Harris Wall.
And Harris Wall and James Jenson and Alan Pierce were all at the Hickley Children's Home.
Sophie and Ricardo grew up there because they're Bruno Rivelli's children.
I'm trying to show you! I don't know where I am now.
Harry Valentine worked for the home, and Dr Reilly was Rivelli's private doctor.
And Goss was on the council's committee for the home.
Now, we know from the original investigation that Bruno Rivelli was the last person to see Goss alive.
I don't need that.
Grace showed me something this morning.
This is the triangle where the bodies were found, and there is the Hickley Home.
What I was saying about the childhood scarring the thing is, in order to present in this condition, they must have been Treated by a doctor.
Yeah.
Bring in Bruno Rivelli.
I know it hurts, but it'll make it better.
Have you learned your lesson now? Yes, sir.
Good.
Change the dressings once a day, apply this antiseptic.
If you see any signs of an infection, call me.
Thank you.
Want a piece of advice? Tell Valentineto calm down.
Bruno Rivelli was lying.
He was lying when he said Goss was writing a report.
He was actually conducting an inquiry.
Into what? Abuse at Hickley Children's Home.
Hickley Children's home.
Bruno Rivelli's in one and Harris Wa Hey, hey, hey, hey! Bruno Rivelli's in one and Harris Wall is in two.
OK, and Ricardo Rivelli? No idea, sorry.
I have the results on Alan Pierce's scars Form a queue there, would you? All the relevant names have been blacked out.
Yeah, so what do you want? Do you want Eve to find out the names underneath the black? Well, ask Eve, she's right there.
Eve Yeah? This is Goss's enquiry into abuse at Hickley Children's Home.
Anything that can identify the victims' names has been blacked out.
Can you help me? Well, I'll have a look at it.
Of course I will.
But I can't do it now.
What have you got? Well, OK, the results on Alan Pierce's scars.
It's very difficult to be precise because once the process of fibrosis is complete, very little changes.
And what I can tell you is that they were inflicted at different times and over a sustained period.
What, like during his childhood? Possibly during his childhood and that they seem to fall into two broad categories with two sets of injury patterns.
If you look at these pictures you'll see there are two apparent types of scarring - these smaller, fainter striations, with the tramlined effect down the edges, and then these broader scars with a greater degree of hypoatrophy and depigmentation.
What age? Five? Possibly, it's very difficult to be exact.
The most important thing to note is the overall appearance of these scars, the criss-cross pattern, overlaying scar on scar which indicates a severe form of maltreatment inflicted with a long cylindrical object like these.
Why do you think Valentine, Reilly and Goss were killed? Valentine was a sadistic monster.
I've no doubt that he was killed by one of the boys who fell victim to him.
He didn't beat you? No.
What was so special about you? I wasn't, that's the point.
It was the special ones who got the special treatment.
You knew he beat Alan? He did before I arrived.
What happened when you arrived? What's your problem, then? No problem.
Good.
Basically Valentine knew that if he laid a hand on me, I'd lay hands on him.
So James and Alan were under your wing, were they, so to speak? Something like that.
Yeah.
And Reilly? You probably already know that he was a cover for Valentine.
Well, who killed him? One of the boys.
What, because he just lied about the wounds they got and said that they weren't anything to do with the beatings? Yeah.
Goss? Goss was a nice guy.
I've no idea about what happened to him.
Worked for you though, didn't it? He gets killed and you take his place on the council.
I was elected.
Yeah, I know, I read your PR.
Local boy makes good, it's a good story.
True story.
Neat story.
Bruno Rivelli.
What do you think of him? Don't really care that much for him.
But I love his daughter, so I'll live with it.
Sophie.
When did you and her meet? When I was a kid.
Never been anyone else for me.
Grace, Sophie's in the office.
Sophie Wall? Yes.
She's very upset.
She wants to know what's going on with her dad and husband.
You'd better come with me.
Hello, Dr What's happened to my dad? Oh, um, everything's fine, it's fine.
I, erwant to see my husband.
OK, would you mind making us some tea, Stella? Are they OK? Yes, yes, would you sit down, please.
I'd like your opinion, please.
Dr Rivelli.
What do you think of these? It depends on how they're used.
But I doubt you've brought me here to seek my opinion on canes.
Strip.
.
.
Strip.
Bend over and don't move.
Is that what you said to the boys before you beat them? How hard do you have to hit a child with something like this before you break the skin? And give them scars that are gonna be there for 20 years.
I've no idea.
You must have become quite an expert, running Hickley Children's Home.
I've never used a cane on a child in my life.
No? Then who's responsible for this? These photographs of the damage done to one Alan Pierce that were with him till he died.
Alan Pierce's backside and his back.
What, was he 14 years old when these were inflicted? These heavy ones? And these lighter ones when he was seven years old.
And these little ones here, right? How old was he when these were done? Was he about five years old? Pierce was particularly disobedient.
He was a child.
A disobedient child.
So if you didn't do this, who did? My housemaster, Harry Valentine.
Yes, but you approved it, you condoned this.
You're being a little dramatic, don't you think? We're talking about beating a child until he bleeds.
Oh, dear me, dear me.
I'm glad you're getting it off your chest, but apart from the therapeutic value to you, is there a point you'd like to make? Just trying to understand why you would beat a child then bring in a doctor to repair the damage.
So you can beat him all over again? Why are you so intent in couching your questions as accusations? Please answer the question I've just put to you.
Are you aware of how confrontational you are? You have no idea how confrontational I can be, Dr Rivelli.
You don't understand, Mr Boyd.
Corporal punishment was entirely within the law and was considered an appropriate method for disciplining children.
Councillor Goss was conducting an enquiry into levels of abuse that went far beyond what anyone would consider being an acceptable form of punishment.
If there is such a thing! That's what the enquiry was about.
Isn't it? Yes.
But I must admit, you've completely lost me.
Is this interview about the death of Henry Goss? It's about the death of Henry Goss.
It's about the deaths of Harry Valentine, of Frank Reilly.
Then I'd like my lawyer present.
That is your human right.
But I don't think human rights mean much to you, do they? So you must have been very close to Alan? He was, um well, he was like a brother.
Did you have much contact with him? I looked in on him at least once a week, made sure the place was OK, that he had enough to eat.
He never had two pennies to rub together.
He was a gambler.
So, why do you think James would want to kill him? Where is James now? We don't know.
Can you tell me about James' relationship with Ricardo, your brother? Sorry.
I don't understand.
Oh, the incident, we witnessed it.
When you had to protect Ricardo from James.
Oh, that was my fault.
Yours? Mmm.
I sent Ricardo round with some money to help him out.
James got the wrong idea, thought my husband had sent it.
I'm an idiot.
Why would that make him angry? Um, well, it's complicated.
James was very attached to me when we were kids.
It was hard for him when I fell in love with Harris.
In what way? It was hard for him to understand, you know? We were kids.
He's never forgiven Harris for marrying me.
What are we gonna do? It's gonna be OK.
How? We'll find a way.
What if my dad finds out? He's not gonna find out.
We'll go before anyone knows.
Go? Where? I don't know.
I don't care.
I love you.
James.
James is a child.
In here and especially in here.
What's going to happen to him? Well, we need to find him as soon as possible.
I don't suppose you've got any idea where he might be? Before he went, before he wasput away, he'd always come to me if he was in trouble, or my dad.
But since he's come out, he hasn't been to see either of us.
I don't know what they did to him in there, why would he turn against people who love him? I don't know.
Why have you arrested my husband and my father? Well, they're helping us with our investigations.
Into what? Into the deaths of three men, Harry Valentine, Frank Reilly, Henry Goss.
I remember.
Oh, God, the children.
I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had children.
We don't yet.
We're waiting for the paperwork to go wherever it goes.
Ah, you're adopting? Yeah, there are a lot of children who need a good home.
Who'd know that better than us? How, um will you be keeping my father long? I'm sorry, I can't say, why? Well, he has a children's therapy session booked in 20 minutes.
Oh, well I'm sorry.
I've no idea.
Well, I should let the children know.
Of course.
If James should contact you, would you let us know? Yes, of course.
Thank you.
Could I see my husband before I go? I'll see what I can do.
D'you want to come with me? It's OK.
I need information on the bag that killed Alan Pierce.
I thought you wanted me Drop everything and concentrate on Pierce.
All right.
Easy, well, we know for certain that it's not the first time the bag has been used.
I did a pyrolysis GC test and it showed the bag to be approximately 30 years old of non-biodegradable material.
Wait, wait, wait, this bag is 30 years old? Yeah, approximately.
I've also managed to ID Alan Pierce's saliva sample there.
There are two older saliva traces here and here, plus the degraded blood which I'm working on being Harry Valentine's.
That gives us one unidentified saliva sample.
Yeah, which may be another victim.
OK, well forget that.
This bag that killed Alan Pierce is the same one that killed Valentine, 27 years ago.
Possibly it is, but there's nothing conclusive.
Grace, the bag that killed Alan Pierce is the same bag that killed Valentine 27 years ago.
No, I said possibly.
Yes.
So it could've been Jenson.
Exactly.
Well, no, maybe Pierce did.
Oh, I really think Pierce takes his own bag to his own killing(?) Well, maybe they both did it together.
Well, maybe they did.
I've got Wall sitting in there sucking his thumb.
Sophie? Right, well, they were all very close.
Sophie says that Jenson was very keen on her.
Yeah, yeah.
But I think it goes a lot deeper.
Also they're adopting a child.
What's that got to do with anything? I've sent for the adoption files.
So? Because they'll contain a psychological evaluation that will be very useful to me.
He wants us to keep a trace on Sophie.
Why? He thinks Jenson may harm her.
I'll carry on with the report.
And Peter just goes anyway, cos he's greedy.
And Peter saw a wall, and it had a door.
The man was about to stamp on Peter.
And Mr McGregor tried to put his foot upon Peter, who jumped out of a window, upsetting three plants.
The window was too small for Mr McGregor and he was tired after running after Peter.
So he went back to his work.
Peter sat down to rest, but he was out of breath and It's all right, children.
James, I can't talk now, we're having storytime.
Wait outside and I'll come out in a minute, OK? Go on.
Peter sat down to rest.
He was out of breath and trembling with fright.
Peter sat down to rest.
He was out of breath and trembling with fright.
He'd not the least idea which way to go.
Also he was very damp with sitting in that can.
Here, James, you read for a bit.
No.
You're very good at reading, go on.
After a time, he began to won Wonder.
Wonder about going lib Going lib Liberty.
Liberty.
But there was no room.
But there was no room.
For a fat For a fat Little rabbit.
Little rabbit.
What's the relationship between Jenson and Sophie? It's a very deep-felt childhood bond.
Now that they're adults, what's their relationship? She hasn't seen him for 20 years.
Yeah, it's strange that.
I mean, she didn't visit him once the whole time he was inside and yet they have this what, this deep-felt bond.
We thought it was best, considering.
Your political career? No.
No? We had some trouble with James.
I'm listening.
Well, Sophie looked after him in the home, when they were both five years old.
He clung to her, then I came along.
And he couldn't let go.
It wasn't about letting go, it was about accepting he had to share her.
Has he ever accepted that? He's had lots of help, so I imagine he has.
Maybe he hasn't.
OK, Sophie, where is James? Are the children OK? Oh, Stella! Just go back in the room and keep the children safe - we'll be right there.
What's up? We need to go.
Did you know that Goss, Councillor Goss, was conducting an enquiry into the home? Sure.
I was elected to the council after he died.
But the council didn't continue the enquiry.
The guilty parties were dead, it would serve no purpose.
Your father-in-law ran the home, he was running the home, he was responsible.
He's not guilty of beating young boys.
He was complicit.
Now, you were there, you know what went on.
Don't you think the boys are entitled to some form of justice? Justice, yeah.
Revenge, no.
KNOCK AT DOOR Oh, come on.
You haven't got your earpiece in.
I need a word.
Something wrong? No, just hang on.
Sophie called.
James Jenson is at the Rivelli Institute and there's half a dozen children there.
Has anybody been hurt? Well, not yet, but she's panicking.
OK.
.
.
Um.
I'll be right back.
Look, where's Sophie? Just wait there, would you, please? Dr Rivelli, James Jenson has taken your daughter Sophie and a number of children hostage.
What do you mean? The Rivelli Institute.
Are they safe? It's difficult to know at the moment, but Jenson is a very dangerous man and we're monitoring the situation.
You can't keep me here.
I think that's my decision, don't you? It'll do you good anyway, you'll have time to reflect on your involvement in all this.
Excuse me.
Put them both on time lock, all right, and watch them.
Hello? Look, can someone tell me what's going on? I need to know that she's all right.
If something's happened to HELLO! He was so tired.
That he flopped down upon That he flopped down upon That's very good.
You read.
OK.
And shut his eyes.
His mother was Hello? It's OK, James.
Why don't you come and sit down? OK.
Hello, everyone.
Thank you.
Is that for me? That's very kind.
I'll share this with you then.
Hello, James.
Hello.
Who's your friend, James? It's Kate.
Hello, Kate.
Hello.
You all right? Yes.
What are we doing? Has James been reading to you all? Yes.
Was he good, Kate? Yes, very.
I'm trying to be good.
You are good, James.
James, there's nothing that can't be made better.
OK? Now James, you don't want to hurt anybody here, do you? No.
No.
These lovely boys and girls.
SIRENS They're coming! ALL: James, James, James! James, look at me! James, James, look at me, look at me.
Put down the child.
Put down Kate and you can leave through that door.
I'm not gonna arrest you James, he's telling you the truth.
Put the child down, walk out of the door.
Trust me, James, just put down the child and you can go.
SIRENS ARE CLOSER PHONE RINGS Oh, come on.
Is he coming back? Sophie, I think you should come back with us when they've all been picked up, into protective custody.
I can't possibly leave until When they've been picked up.
You should come with us into protective custody.
He won't come back here to you.
You're all right, James.
He wouldn't have hurt you.
James Jenson, age 42, 6'5 I was quite surprised by Sophie's reaction when we got here.
I thought she'd be hysterical, but she was very much in control.
I thought she was very calm and dealt with the children very well.
You know, she didn't deal with all the other children, she dealt with Kate.
In fact, almost the reverse.
I'd say Kate dealt with her very well.
I've no idea who called these guys in.
Why don't you ask them? I have done.
They don't know anything.
It was you.
They should have kept you in, James, should've kept you in.
The wallets, you sent them.
Why did you do that to me? You're a danger, James, you know you are.
You wouldn't be here if they'd listened to me.
"Go and talk to him, Riccy.
" "Go and give him his money, Riccy.
" "Listen to Harris, Riccy.
He knows what he's doing.
" And Sophie, Sophie's pet.
Sophie? Yeah, Sophie.
She, er She asked me to give you this.
Why? Because I hate you.
I don't know, James.
Some people are a problem to the world from the moment they're born.
Play it again.
"There's a mad man holding a woman and kids hostage "at the Rivelli Institute in Hickley.
"I saw a gun - come quickly.
" Why would Ricardo Rivelli make an emergency call and then lie about what was happening? He sounds stressed.
Yeah, but look at the graphics.
I mean, it never leaves the blue.
Exactly, why would he do that? Grace, Ricardo Rivelli made the call.
Listen.
OK, wait.
Goss's report didn't just show beatings in the home.
It also unearthed an investigation into a statutory rape by a 17-year-old boy on a 14-year-old girl, resulting in a pregnancy, and their two names were Harris Wall and Sophie Rivelli.
We know Sophie applied to adopt a child and was turned down.
However, she had to cite her reasons in the application form for not being able to conceive.
It appears that at 14 she had an abortion.
As a result of that rape.
Yeah.
She picked up an infection, she wasn't looked after properly, and the result was that she was left infertile.
KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
I've given her a sedative, so she should sleep through the night.
Make sure she gets plenty of bed rest.
It's possible when she wakes, she'll be traumatised.
One of these every four hours should help keep her calm.
Thank you.
How much do I owe you? That's OK.
Oh, my darling girl.
Daddy's here now.
Everything's gonna be OK, I promise.
DOOR OPENS Where's my daughter, what's happened? She's perfectly safe.
She's safe and she's here.
She's all right, he hasn't hurt her? No, he hasn't hurt her.
He hasn't hurt her at all.
You obviously love her, your daughter Of course I do.
I have here the report from Councillor Goss's enquiry into your home Hickley Children's Home.
So we know the extent of the brutality that went on there.
In fact, we know everything.
We know that you are a liar.
We know that you are a fraud.
And we know that you condoned the excessive beatings on boys as young as five years of age.
Five years of age.
We also know that you arranged the illegal abortion for a girl of 14 years of age.
That girl of 14 was your own daughter.
Daddy? I'm here my love, Daddy's here.
It burns.
I know, I know it does.
I want to go to the hospital.
We can't go to hospital.
Don't worry, everything's gonna be all right.
Dr Reilly said it will pass, OK? Here, take a couple of these for Daddy.
I don't want to.
Come on, my love.
Be a good girl.
Be a good girl for Daddy.
Here we go, bit of water.
Come on.
There we go.
Good girl.
You got Dr Reilly to do this to avoid a scandal.
A scandal, no.
I did it for them - for Harris and Sophie.
His life would have been ruined and he had such a promising future ahead of him, and that's what I was trying to protect.
Goss's enquiry was threatening to destroy that.
Yes, that's why I killed him.
You killed him? Yes.
How? How? How did you kill him? That's irrelevant.
I did it.
So you can charge me and stop.
Stop what? Whatever it is you're doing.
All right, I'll stop.
I've stopped.
You do understand, Dr Rivelli, that whoever killed Goss, killed Reilly and Valentine.
Yes, I did them all.
You did them all? Yes.
Why did you do Reilly? Well, he botched it, didn't he? Well, why did you do Valentine? Because he Because You don't have a motive, do you? Because he told me.
If he hadn't told me then About the pregnancy, then it would be taken out of your hands.
Damn it, man, I did it.
OK.
I think it's about time you either charged me or released me.
I think so too.
Would you rather that Sophie wasn't here? I'm staying.
OK.
When I asked you if you knew any of the boys who were identified in Goss's report, you said you didn't, which I found surprising because you were there, as I said, and you knew what went on.
And there was a particular incident that involved a 17-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl.
Does that sound familiar? Well, that was, um None of it was true, waste of time.
Because Dr Rivelli told me everything, and he said that Valentine informed him of your pregnancy and that Dr Reilly carried out the procedure.
Oh, my God.
It's OK.
No, don't lie to her, it's not OK.
I've got the report here.
Councillor Goss's report, where the names were blacked out and we've had them cleaned up, and in reference to that incident, there are two names.
One of which is your name, and the other one is your name.
Now we've got the murder weapon that killed Valentine, and the killer's DNA is on that.
Do I need to go on? No.
Good.
I'd like to make a full confession.
What? I'd like you to leaveplease.
I'm sorry.
No.
Sophie, will you come with me, please? Sophie? I killed them.
Jenson held them for me.
Pierce and Ricardo Rivelli were accomplices.
"Peter "never stopped "running.
" OK, I've now managed to ID all three saliva samples.
Remember there was one that I wasn't sure about? Yeah.
The first one is Alan Pierce, as we know.
The second one I can confirm is Harry Valentine, and the third one .
.
is Sophie Wall.
Hit him! Hit him! Harris! Harris! You've done it now, haven't you? You'll go down for this.
No, he won't.
What you gonna do, you brat? Daddy can't cover this up.
Right, joke's over, let me go.
Let me go! Sophie.
Sophie, we need your help to find James.
I don't know where he is, I'm sorry.
HE MUMBLES ".
.
Go to the" Sophie, what are you holding out for? We have DNA evidence linking you with these three murders.
Joke's over! Let me go! No! It's all over for you.
This is your application to the adoption agency.
I'm afraid they've turned you down.
What? No.
No, there must be some mistake.
No, Sophie, there is no mistake.
They're not going to give you a baby.
In a moment, Sophie, Boyd is going to come in here and arrest you for those three murders.
He'd been digging and digging.
Who? Councillor Goss.
We followed him.
We knew what he was looking for, knew where he was going.
Once he'd been in ECHOES OF WHIPPING AND CRYING .
.
that room.
'I want to go to hospital.
' 'Can't go to the hospital.
'Don't worry, everything's going to be all right, Dr Reilly said it's going to pass.
' We couldn't let him out.
So we stopped him.
Will you takes us to James? Explain to him that it's finished.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's OK, Daddy.
I tried.
I know.
It's over.
Are you cold? Yes.
Am I gonna see my mummy? Yes, my mummy's coming soon.
I'm frightened.
It's all right.
No need to be afraid.
James? Oh, my God.
OK.
It's OK.
It's going to be OK.
You came Yeah.
I love you.
Stay with me.
I'm here.
You hold on, hold on, OK? You hang on.
No.
James.
James.
James.
SHE SOBS James! That's it, thank you.
Grace? Yeah.
DIALS MOBILE We need an ambulance, right away, please.
HE SCREAMS What a mess.
Messy, not dirty.
What do you mean? There's a few dirty plates there and some in the sink, but these on the rack there, they're clean.
And then I mean, look the milk's not out of date.
So? So? Look, they've got some nice pressed shirts there Hi.
All right? .
.
and trousers, you know.
Hi.
You OK? Yeah.
Why did Jenson get beaten up? I dunno, but it was Harris Wall's security guys that did it.
Harris Wall? We gonna bring him in? Yeah.
There's some fresh blood here but I don't think it was Alan Pierce's.
I mean, there's no evidence of open wounds or gashes on the corpse.
Also, there's some dried blood on this bag.
And that pre-dates it? Yeah, it would seem to.
I'll take it back to the lab and get some DNA tests on it.
OK.
You OK? Good.
Good.
Bye.
Bye.
I didn't mean it.
I'm sorry.
Iwant my mummy.
I know.
DOOR OPENS Hey.
You're not supposed to be here, you'll get in trouble.
No.
.
.
Ah! Want a story? Yes, please.
Once upon a time there were four little rabbits.
Their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.
They lived with their mother in a big sandbank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree Stop the investigation right in the middle? Would that be the sensible thing? Just drop it.
OK, this is big news.
The fresh blood from the crime scene is a match to James Jenson.
James Jenson.
.
.
Have you checked the degraded blood in the the bag? No, I've not had a chance Could you get on with that, check the other stuff in the bag please.
I'm running tests.
Grace? What's this about Jenson being a blitz attacker? There's no sign of a beating.
This is the same as victims two and three, so Jenson could've done all of them.
No.
But Pierce has been killed in the same way as Goss and Reilly.
No, this is a copy cat killing.
Oh, God.
He killed him, yes, but he killed him in the only way he knew how, the way he'd seen it done in the past, but with a crucial difference.
He bound his victim's face with a tape so he couldn't see his eyes when he died.
It's a different situation.
So the binding around the eyes is the only different thing, but Valentine's different to Goss and Reilly.
YOU want this to be an isolated incident, don't you? I'll leave you You stay where you are.
You want me to be responsible for the fact that James Jenson killed Alan Pierce? OK, it's my fault, does it make you feel better? Happy now? Yeah, I've failed.
I hope I fail better next time! Yes, do.
I'm not interested, stick whatever you got up on the board.
Stella, I'll come with you.
I've not even had a chance to do a preliminary examination yet, but just at a cursory glance, I discoveredthese.
Scar tissue, welt marks.
Probably administered during childhood.
You wanna go another couple of rounds? Then I suggest you move out of my way.
Can I help you? No, you can't.
But you better tell me why your security guards beat the hell out of James Jenson.
Ah, you must be the person who was caught up in it I'll tell you who I am.
I'm the person who can put you behind bars.
Look, you got it all wrong.
We had some reports of an intruder on the property and when my security went to check it out, THEY were set upon bytwo black men.
- You're coming with me.
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Look, all right, I'll walk out with you.
- I know you will.
Hey, what's your problem? Let's go.
Sir, I've got it all up, it's a web of connection.
Sophie knows Jenson, she's the woman who intervened to stop him at the reception Ricardo's her brother.
Exactly.
She is married to Harris Wall.
And Harris Wall and James Jenson and Alan Pierce were all at the Hickley Children's Home.
Sophie and Ricardo grew up there because they're Bruno Rivelli's children.
I'm trying to show you! I don't know where I am now.
Harry Valentine worked for the home, and Dr Reilly was Rivelli's private doctor.
And Goss was on the council's committee for the home.
Now, we know from the original investigation that Bruno Rivelli was the last person to see Goss alive.
I don't need that.
Grace showed me something this morning.
This is the triangle where the bodies were found, and there is the Hickley Home.
What I was saying about the childhood scarring the thing is, in order to present in this condition, they must have been Treated by a doctor.
Yeah.
Bring in Bruno Rivelli.
I know it hurts, but it'll make it better.
Have you learned your lesson now? Yes, sir.
Good.
Change the dressings once a day, apply this antiseptic.
If you see any signs of an infection, call me.
Thank you.
Want a piece of advice? Tell Valentineto calm down.
Bruno Rivelli was lying.
He was lying when he said Goss was writing a report.
He was actually conducting an inquiry.
Into what? Abuse at Hickley Children's Home.
Hickley Children's home.
Bruno Rivelli's in one and Harris Wa Hey, hey, hey, hey! Bruno Rivelli's in one and Harris Wall is in two.
OK, and Ricardo Rivelli? No idea, sorry.
I have the results on Alan Pierce's scars Form a queue there, would you? All the relevant names have been blacked out.
Yeah, so what do you want? Do you want Eve to find out the names underneath the black? Well, ask Eve, she's right there.
Eve Yeah? This is Goss's enquiry into abuse at Hickley Children's Home.
Anything that can identify the victims' names has been blacked out.
Can you help me? Well, I'll have a look at it.
Of course I will.
But I can't do it now.
What have you got? Well, OK, the results on Alan Pierce's scars.
It's very difficult to be precise because once the process of fibrosis is complete, very little changes.
And what I can tell you is that they were inflicted at different times and over a sustained period.
What, like during his childhood? Possibly during his childhood and that they seem to fall into two broad categories with two sets of injury patterns.
If you look at these pictures you'll see there are two apparent types of scarring - these smaller, fainter striations, with the tramlined effect down the edges, and then these broader scars with a greater degree of hypoatrophy and depigmentation.
What age? Five? Possibly, it's very difficult to be exact.
The most important thing to note is the overall appearance of these scars, the criss-cross pattern, overlaying scar on scar which indicates a severe form of maltreatment inflicted with a long cylindrical object like these.
Why do you think Valentine, Reilly and Goss were killed? Valentine was a sadistic monster.
I've no doubt that he was killed by one of the boys who fell victim to him.
He didn't beat you? No.
What was so special about you? I wasn't, that's the point.
It was the special ones who got the special treatment.
You knew he beat Alan? He did before I arrived.
What happened when you arrived? What's your problem, then? No problem.
Good.
Basically Valentine knew that if he laid a hand on me, I'd lay hands on him.
So James and Alan were under your wing, were they, so to speak? Something like that.
Yeah.
And Reilly? You probably already know that he was a cover for Valentine.
Well, who killed him? One of the boys.
What, because he just lied about the wounds they got and said that they weren't anything to do with the beatings? Yeah.
Goss? Goss was a nice guy.
I've no idea about what happened to him.
Worked for you though, didn't it? He gets killed and you take his place on the council.
I was elected.
Yeah, I know, I read your PR.
Local boy makes good, it's a good story.
True story.
Neat story.
Bruno Rivelli.
What do you think of him? Don't really care that much for him.
But I love his daughter, so I'll live with it.
Sophie.
When did you and her meet? When I was a kid.
Never been anyone else for me.
Grace, Sophie's in the office.
Sophie Wall? Yes.
She's very upset.
She wants to know what's going on with her dad and husband.
You'd better come with me.
Hello, Dr What's happened to my dad? Oh, um, everything's fine, it's fine.
I, erwant to see my husband.
OK, would you mind making us some tea, Stella? Are they OK? Yes, yes, would you sit down, please.
I'd like your opinion, please.
Dr Rivelli.
What do you think of these? It depends on how they're used.
But I doubt you've brought me here to seek my opinion on canes.
Strip.
.
.
Strip.
Bend over and don't move.
Is that what you said to the boys before you beat them? How hard do you have to hit a child with something like this before you break the skin? And give them scars that are gonna be there for 20 years.
I've no idea.
You must have become quite an expert, running Hickley Children's Home.
I've never used a cane on a child in my life.
No? Then who's responsible for this? These photographs of the damage done to one Alan Pierce that were with him till he died.
Alan Pierce's backside and his back.
What, was he 14 years old when these were inflicted? These heavy ones? And these lighter ones when he was seven years old.
And these little ones here, right? How old was he when these were done? Was he about five years old? Pierce was particularly disobedient.
He was a child.
A disobedient child.
So if you didn't do this, who did? My housemaster, Harry Valentine.
Yes, but you approved it, you condoned this.
You're being a little dramatic, don't you think? We're talking about beating a child until he bleeds.
Oh, dear me, dear me.
I'm glad you're getting it off your chest, but apart from the therapeutic value to you, is there a point you'd like to make? Just trying to understand why you would beat a child then bring in a doctor to repair the damage.
So you can beat him all over again? Why are you so intent in couching your questions as accusations? Please answer the question I've just put to you.
Are you aware of how confrontational you are? You have no idea how confrontational I can be, Dr Rivelli.
You don't understand, Mr Boyd.
Corporal punishment was entirely within the law and was considered an appropriate method for disciplining children.
Councillor Goss was conducting an enquiry into levels of abuse that went far beyond what anyone would consider being an acceptable form of punishment.
If there is such a thing! That's what the enquiry was about.
Isn't it? Yes.
But I must admit, you've completely lost me.
Is this interview about the death of Henry Goss? It's about the death of Henry Goss.
It's about the deaths of Harry Valentine, of Frank Reilly.
Then I'd like my lawyer present.
That is your human right.
But I don't think human rights mean much to you, do they? So you must have been very close to Alan? He was, um well, he was like a brother.
Did you have much contact with him? I looked in on him at least once a week, made sure the place was OK, that he had enough to eat.
He never had two pennies to rub together.
He was a gambler.
So, why do you think James would want to kill him? Where is James now? We don't know.
Can you tell me about James' relationship with Ricardo, your brother? Sorry.
I don't understand.
Oh, the incident, we witnessed it.
When you had to protect Ricardo from James.
Oh, that was my fault.
Yours? Mmm.
I sent Ricardo round with some money to help him out.
James got the wrong idea, thought my husband had sent it.
I'm an idiot.
Why would that make him angry? Um, well, it's complicated.
James was very attached to me when we were kids.
It was hard for him when I fell in love with Harris.
In what way? It was hard for him to understand, you know? We were kids.
He's never forgiven Harris for marrying me.
What are we gonna do? It's gonna be OK.
How? We'll find a way.
What if my dad finds out? He's not gonna find out.
We'll go before anyone knows.
Go? Where? I don't know.
I don't care.
I love you.
James.
James is a child.
In here and especially in here.
What's going to happen to him? Well, we need to find him as soon as possible.
I don't suppose you've got any idea where he might be? Before he went, before he wasput away, he'd always come to me if he was in trouble, or my dad.
But since he's come out, he hasn't been to see either of us.
I don't know what they did to him in there, why would he turn against people who love him? I don't know.
Why have you arrested my husband and my father? Well, they're helping us with our investigations.
Into what? Into the deaths of three men, Harry Valentine, Frank Reilly, Henry Goss.
I remember.
Oh, God, the children.
I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had children.
We don't yet.
We're waiting for the paperwork to go wherever it goes.
Ah, you're adopting? Yeah, there are a lot of children who need a good home.
Who'd know that better than us? How, um will you be keeping my father long? I'm sorry, I can't say, why? Well, he has a children's therapy session booked in 20 minutes.
Oh, well I'm sorry.
I've no idea.
Well, I should let the children know.
Of course.
If James should contact you, would you let us know? Yes, of course.
Thank you.
Could I see my husband before I go? I'll see what I can do.
D'you want to come with me? It's OK.
I need information on the bag that killed Alan Pierce.
I thought you wanted me Drop everything and concentrate on Pierce.
All right.
Easy, well, we know for certain that it's not the first time the bag has been used.
I did a pyrolysis GC test and it showed the bag to be approximately 30 years old of non-biodegradable material.
Wait, wait, wait, this bag is 30 years old? Yeah, approximately.
I've also managed to ID Alan Pierce's saliva sample there.
There are two older saliva traces here and here, plus the degraded blood which I'm working on being Harry Valentine's.
That gives us one unidentified saliva sample.
Yeah, which may be another victim.
OK, well forget that.
This bag that killed Alan Pierce is the same one that killed Valentine, 27 years ago.
Possibly it is, but there's nothing conclusive.
Grace, the bag that killed Alan Pierce is the same bag that killed Valentine 27 years ago.
No, I said possibly.
Yes.
So it could've been Jenson.
Exactly.
Well, no, maybe Pierce did.
Oh, I really think Pierce takes his own bag to his own killing(?) Well, maybe they both did it together.
Well, maybe they did.
I've got Wall sitting in there sucking his thumb.
Sophie? Right, well, they were all very close.
Sophie says that Jenson was very keen on her.
Yeah, yeah.
But I think it goes a lot deeper.
Also they're adopting a child.
What's that got to do with anything? I've sent for the adoption files.
So? Because they'll contain a psychological evaluation that will be very useful to me.
He wants us to keep a trace on Sophie.
Why? He thinks Jenson may harm her.
I'll carry on with the report.
And Peter just goes anyway, cos he's greedy.
And Peter saw a wall, and it had a door.
The man was about to stamp on Peter.
And Mr McGregor tried to put his foot upon Peter, who jumped out of a window, upsetting three plants.
The window was too small for Mr McGregor and he was tired after running after Peter.
So he went back to his work.
Peter sat down to rest, but he was out of breath and It's all right, children.
James, I can't talk now, we're having storytime.
Wait outside and I'll come out in a minute, OK? Go on.
Peter sat down to rest.
He was out of breath and trembling with fright.
Peter sat down to rest.
He was out of breath and trembling with fright.
He'd not the least idea which way to go.
Also he was very damp with sitting in that can.
Here, James, you read for a bit.
No.
You're very good at reading, go on.
After a time, he began to won Wonder.
Wonder about going lib Going lib Liberty.
Liberty.
But there was no room.
But there was no room.
For a fat For a fat Little rabbit.
Little rabbit.
What's the relationship between Jenson and Sophie? It's a very deep-felt childhood bond.
Now that they're adults, what's their relationship? She hasn't seen him for 20 years.
Yeah, it's strange that.
I mean, she didn't visit him once the whole time he was inside and yet they have this what, this deep-felt bond.
We thought it was best, considering.
Your political career? No.
No? We had some trouble with James.
I'm listening.
Well, Sophie looked after him in the home, when they were both five years old.
He clung to her, then I came along.
And he couldn't let go.
It wasn't about letting go, it was about accepting he had to share her.
Has he ever accepted that? He's had lots of help, so I imagine he has.
Maybe he hasn't.
OK, Sophie, where is James? Are the children OK? Oh, Stella! Just go back in the room and keep the children safe - we'll be right there.
What's up? We need to go.
Did you know that Goss, Councillor Goss, was conducting an enquiry into the home? Sure.
I was elected to the council after he died.
But the council didn't continue the enquiry.
The guilty parties were dead, it would serve no purpose.
Your father-in-law ran the home, he was running the home, he was responsible.
He's not guilty of beating young boys.
He was complicit.
Now, you were there, you know what went on.
Don't you think the boys are entitled to some form of justice? Justice, yeah.
Revenge, no.
KNOCK AT DOOR Oh, come on.
You haven't got your earpiece in.
I need a word.
Something wrong? No, just hang on.
Sophie called.
James Jenson is at the Rivelli Institute and there's half a dozen children there.
Has anybody been hurt? Well, not yet, but she's panicking.
OK.
.
.
Um.
I'll be right back.
Look, where's Sophie? Just wait there, would you, please? Dr Rivelli, James Jenson has taken your daughter Sophie and a number of children hostage.
What do you mean? The Rivelli Institute.
Are they safe? It's difficult to know at the moment, but Jenson is a very dangerous man and we're monitoring the situation.
You can't keep me here.
I think that's my decision, don't you? It'll do you good anyway, you'll have time to reflect on your involvement in all this.
Excuse me.
Put them both on time lock, all right, and watch them.
Hello? Look, can someone tell me what's going on? I need to know that she's all right.
If something's happened to HELLO! He was so tired.
That he flopped down upon That he flopped down upon That's very good.
You read.
OK.
And shut his eyes.
His mother was Hello? It's OK, James.
Why don't you come and sit down? OK.
Hello, everyone.
Thank you.
Is that for me? That's very kind.
I'll share this with you then.
Hello, James.
Hello.
Who's your friend, James? It's Kate.
Hello, Kate.
Hello.
You all right? Yes.
What are we doing? Has James been reading to you all? Yes.
Was he good, Kate? Yes, very.
I'm trying to be good.
You are good, James.
James, there's nothing that can't be made better.
OK? Now James, you don't want to hurt anybody here, do you? No.
No.
These lovely boys and girls.
SIRENS They're coming! ALL: James, James, James! James, look at me! James, James, look at me, look at me.
Put down the child.
Put down Kate and you can leave through that door.
I'm not gonna arrest you James, he's telling you the truth.
Put the child down, walk out of the door.
Trust me, James, just put down the child and you can go.
SIRENS ARE CLOSER PHONE RINGS Oh, come on.
Is he coming back? Sophie, I think you should come back with us when they've all been picked up, into protective custody.
I can't possibly leave until When they've been picked up.
You should come with us into protective custody.
He won't come back here to you.
You're all right, James.
He wouldn't have hurt you.
James Jenson, age 42, 6'5 I was quite surprised by Sophie's reaction when we got here.
I thought she'd be hysterical, but she was very much in control.
I thought she was very calm and dealt with the children very well.
You know, she didn't deal with all the other children, she dealt with Kate.
In fact, almost the reverse.
I'd say Kate dealt with her very well.
I've no idea who called these guys in.
Why don't you ask them? I have done.
They don't know anything.
It was you.
They should have kept you in, James, should've kept you in.
The wallets, you sent them.
Why did you do that to me? You're a danger, James, you know you are.
You wouldn't be here if they'd listened to me.
"Go and talk to him, Riccy.
" "Go and give him his money, Riccy.
" "Listen to Harris, Riccy.
He knows what he's doing.
" And Sophie, Sophie's pet.
Sophie? Yeah, Sophie.
She, er She asked me to give you this.
Why? Because I hate you.
I don't know, James.
Some people are a problem to the world from the moment they're born.
Play it again.
"There's a mad man holding a woman and kids hostage "at the Rivelli Institute in Hickley.
"I saw a gun - come quickly.
" Why would Ricardo Rivelli make an emergency call and then lie about what was happening? He sounds stressed.
Yeah, but look at the graphics.
I mean, it never leaves the blue.
Exactly, why would he do that? Grace, Ricardo Rivelli made the call.
Listen.
OK, wait.
Goss's report didn't just show beatings in the home.
It also unearthed an investigation into a statutory rape by a 17-year-old boy on a 14-year-old girl, resulting in a pregnancy, and their two names were Harris Wall and Sophie Rivelli.
We know Sophie applied to adopt a child and was turned down.
However, she had to cite her reasons in the application form for not being able to conceive.
It appears that at 14 she had an abortion.
As a result of that rape.
Yeah.
She picked up an infection, she wasn't looked after properly, and the result was that she was left infertile.
KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
I've given her a sedative, so she should sleep through the night.
Make sure she gets plenty of bed rest.
It's possible when she wakes, she'll be traumatised.
One of these every four hours should help keep her calm.
Thank you.
How much do I owe you? That's OK.
Oh, my darling girl.
Daddy's here now.
Everything's gonna be OK, I promise.
DOOR OPENS Where's my daughter, what's happened? She's perfectly safe.
She's safe and she's here.
She's all right, he hasn't hurt her? No, he hasn't hurt her.
He hasn't hurt her at all.
You obviously love her, your daughter Of course I do.
I have here the report from Councillor Goss's enquiry into your home Hickley Children's Home.
So we know the extent of the brutality that went on there.
In fact, we know everything.
We know that you are a liar.
We know that you are a fraud.
And we know that you condoned the excessive beatings on boys as young as five years of age.
Five years of age.
We also know that you arranged the illegal abortion for a girl of 14 years of age.
That girl of 14 was your own daughter.
Daddy? I'm here my love, Daddy's here.
It burns.
I know, I know it does.
I want to go to the hospital.
We can't go to hospital.
Don't worry, everything's gonna be all right.
Dr Reilly said it will pass, OK? Here, take a couple of these for Daddy.
I don't want to.
Come on, my love.
Be a good girl.
Be a good girl for Daddy.
Here we go, bit of water.
Come on.
There we go.
Good girl.
You got Dr Reilly to do this to avoid a scandal.
A scandal, no.
I did it for them - for Harris and Sophie.
His life would have been ruined and he had such a promising future ahead of him, and that's what I was trying to protect.
Goss's enquiry was threatening to destroy that.
Yes, that's why I killed him.
You killed him? Yes.
How? How? How did you kill him? That's irrelevant.
I did it.
So you can charge me and stop.
Stop what? Whatever it is you're doing.
All right, I'll stop.
I've stopped.
You do understand, Dr Rivelli, that whoever killed Goss, killed Reilly and Valentine.
Yes, I did them all.
You did them all? Yes.
Why did you do Reilly? Well, he botched it, didn't he? Well, why did you do Valentine? Because he Because You don't have a motive, do you? Because he told me.
If he hadn't told me then About the pregnancy, then it would be taken out of your hands.
Damn it, man, I did it.
OK.
I think it's about time you either charged me or released me.
I think so too.
Would you rather that Sophie wasn't here? I'm staying.
OK.
When I asked you if you knew any of the boys who were identified in Goss's report, you said you didn't, which I found surprising because you were there, as I said, and you knew what went on.
And there was a particular incident that involved a 17-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl.
Does that sound familiar? Well, that was, um None of it was true, waste of time.
Because Dr Rivelli told me everything, and he said that Valentine informed him of your pregnancy and that Dr Reilly carried out the procedure.
Oh, my God.
It's OK.
No, don't lie to her, it's not OK.
I've got the report here.
Councillor Goss's report, where the names were blacked out and we've had them cleaned up, and in reference to that incident, there are two names.
One of which is your name, and the other one is your name.
Now we've got the murder weapon that killed Valentine, and the killer's DNA is on that.
Do I need to go on? No.
Good.
I'd like to make a full confession.
What? I'd like you to leaveplease.
I'm sorry.
No.
Sophie, will you come with me, please? Sophie? I killed them.
Jenson held them for me.
Pierce and Ricardo Rivelli were accomplices.
"Peter "never stopped "running.
" OK, I've now managed to ID all three saliva samples.
Remember there was one that I wasn't sure about? Yeah.
The first one is Alan Pierce, as we know.
The second one I can confirm is Harry Valentine, and the third one .
.
is Sophie Wall.
Hit him! Hit him! Harris! Harris! You've done it now, haven't you? You'll go down for this.
No, he won't.
What you gonna do, you brat? Daddy can't cover this up.
Right, joke's over, let me go.
Let me go! Sophie.
Sophie, we need your help to find James.
I don't know where he is, I'm sorry.
HE MUMBLES ".
.
Go to the" Sophie, what are you holding out for? We have DNA evidence linking you with these three murders.
Joke's over! Let me go! No! It's all over for you.
This is your application to the adoption agency.
I'm afraid they've turned you down.
What? No.
No, there must be some mistake.
No, Sophie, there is no mistake.
They're not going to give you a baby.
In a moment, Sophie, Boyd is going to come in here and arrest you for those three murders.
He'd been digging and digging.
Who? Councillor Goss.
We followed him.
We knew what he was looking for, knew where he was going.
Once he'd been in ECHOES OF WHIPPING AND CRYING .
.
that room.
'I want to go to hospital.
' 'Can't go to the hospital.
'Don't worry, everything's going to be all right, Dr Reilly said it's going to pass.
' We couldn't let him out.
So we stopped him.
Will you takes us to James? Explain to him that it's finished.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's OK, Daddy.
I tried.
I know.
It's over.
Are you cold? Yes.
Am I gonna see my mummy? Yes, my mummy's coming soon.
I'm frightened.
It's all right.
No need to be afraid.
James? Oh, my God.
OK.
It's OK.
It's going to be OK.
You came Yeah.
I love you.
Stay with me.
I'm here.
You hold on, hold on, OK? You hang on.
No.
James.
James.
James.
SHE SOBS James! That's it, thank you.
