Trial and Retribution (1997) s12e04 Episode Script
Ghost Train (2)
Fine, thank you.
You look really good tonight.
Help! Help! Lisa! Lisa, help! OK, take my hand.
I can't! The girl on the big wheel was murdered? There's developers after the land.
Like I said to David, they wanna discredit us.
We have the best safety record in the UK.
Is that why you think the accident was an attempt to kill off business? No, they'll be queuing up for the "death ride" tonight.
Disappointed when they find it's closed.
It's those boys.
They're a bloody liability.
Which boys? I didn't know 'em.
Leading the kids on, making 'em do stupid things.
They've been offered a good new site for the fair.
And for their winter standing.
They'll be a lot better off.
How much do you stand to make from this? They're offering four and a half million.
You're in much danger.
Death's closer than you think.
There's a shard of glass in this wound.
The Ten of Swords.
Those who don't listen to the wisdom of the swords will end up impaled on them.
Pops only had one thing on him, a coin.
It was wrapped in a hanky.
What currency's a Lei? Er, Lei ErRomanian.
YOU! You bring bad fortune on us all! Leave him! Leave him or you're under arrest.
Satch, the minute you get this, call me.
If Pavel is there, hold him.
That's not so easy to undo yourself, is it? Wouldn't be safe.
Rough night? So, you've no idea why that bar would open? Or why Vicky would stand up? Girls do weird things.
Yeah.
How're we doing? At least Pavel hasn't left the country yet.
I've released his photo in the areas the funfair've been recently.
Yeah, we'll get Interpol on to it.
Check with family, friends.
See if he was cleared by the CRB.
Oh, yeah.
Get Satch.
Tell him, apart from finding Pavel bloody Golescu, I want all those files cleared from the Incident Room by lunchtime or I'm gonna nail his balls to his bloody desk.
And I will have him explain to the Home Secretary why the highest achieving squad in the metropolitan area can't even keep its house in order.
Pops wrote all this? No, I did.
He spoke it to me.
No-one's written our Romany ways down before.
Look, David, when can we have him back? He must have a Romany burial soon.
Yeah, well, that's up to the coroner.
It won't be before a second post mortem.
He's not at peace.
I heard owls again last night.
Another Omen.
More trouble coming.
Look, we found a Romanian coin in Pops' pocket.
Does that mean anything to you? Pops showed it to me.
He wanted me to sense it for him.
Well, why didn't you tell me? You don't know what he was like.
He didn't want outside help.
But this isn't help, Tess, this is a murder investigation.
Yeah, people are laughing at me at the station.
You're making our family look like a bunch of idiots.
Fred came to see him.
Fred Olson? With his son Micky.
Fred's been good to us over the years, but they were pushing.
They drawn up documents.
To move the fair.
Mullo! It's here! Get it out! All right, all right, all right! Here.
Get it out! She believes birds are "mullo", the living dead.
So, now she thinks she's next.
What she say about the documents? Nothing.
She doesn't know anything.
Just keep going on about Pops' body at the mortuary.
They have all these rituals.
They put thorn bushes round the graves.
Keep the mullo in.
Destroy all the dead person's belongings .
.
except for pearls.
They use those to block up the nose, keep the spirits in.
What, the whole necklace? Hello again.
Did it slip your mind you'd been to see Thomas Gilbert shortly before he was found dead? I think I'd like a lawyer here.
Oh, we can get you lawyers, down at the station.
I was about to call you.
This just came through my door.
But this is the contract you wanted him to sign.
Signed, by him.
No, I saw him just before he died.
There's no way he would've signed this.
We never put pressure on.
We just left it with him.
Do you know Pavel Golescu? Pavel? Yeah.
He does some labouring for Doug Reid.
Really? What else? He thought the old man was on the verge of signing .
.
after the girl died.
He said that might be the final straw.
Pavel said he might be able to swing it.
Really? What does that mean? He came round, asking what it was worth, if he could persuade Pops to sign.
Really? And what was it worth, if he could persuade him to sign? He wanted twenty thousand.
We agreed ten.
Let me get this right.
You're telling me, if Pavel got Pops to sign this contract, you would give him £10,000? Put pressure on him.
I want him to know he's in the shit.
And get samples of Pops' handwriting for me.
Search his caravan, his bins.
I wanna know that signature's authentic.
I'm off to talk to Reid.
When we agreed this, old Thomas Gilbert was still alive.
But this is just gonna be null and void.
Look, Pops was happy to sign.
Did Pops sign? Did we have a deal? So, now someone has to pay.
Yeah.
Except, now they think he was murdered.
Sam? I thought you were meeting me at Reid's? Yeah.
I'm on my way.
Where are you? 'Well, I'm here.
Where are you?' What do you mean "deal is off"?! There's something going on, Sam.
We've got no way of knowing that that is really his signature.
Roisin, don't go in there alone.
Calling me liar?! I'm sorry, Pavel, the deal's off.
Nothing is off! You owe me money and you gonna pay! What do you have in that safe? It's Pavel.
He's got a knife.
Roisin, get the hell outta there! Pavel, put the knife down.
Just put the knife down.
Just - Oh, shit! Whoa! Oi, watch it! Pavel! Pull! Pull, pull! What're you playing at? Idiot! Pavel Golescu, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Thomas Gilbert.
You don't have to say anything.
Anything you do say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Come and have a look at this.
That's it.
Two signature samples please, Mr Golescu.
Er Ladies and gentlemen, Home Secretary, a warm welcome this afternoon.
And maymay Imay Ishit express gratitude for thiser this most important recognition for the work that we continue to - Fred Olson has a contract signed by Pops.
Should I call her Home Secretary or by her name? You're not listening to me.
Yes, I am.
Signed when? The day before Pops died.
And guess what? What? Surprise me.
Pavel is the witness.
What? Pops asked you to witness this contract, though he swore he'd never move the fairground location? And you were the only person to witness it? Girl dies, he thinks it's best for fair.
What was your relationship to Doug Reid? Mickey Olson says you did labouring for him.
I do good work for them.
What does that entail? Labouring? Putting pressure on people? Setting girls up for an accident on the Big Wheel? What was your relationship to Micky Olson? I met him at Reid's.
Yeah.
He would like to see the fair moved.
There's no point to stay.
It's a shit place.
You know, Olson makes money, Pops makes money.
You make money.
£10,000 from Fred Olson, kid.
Well, not yet.
They have to check contract is OK.
Doesn't look OK, does it? The night Pops died, you were on the Ghost Train.
No.
I was there.
I heard Tommy tell you.
I don't take orders from Tommy.
I take break instead.
What did you do on your break? I was with girl.
Which girl? - I don't know her name.
What do you mean you "don't know her name"? Where were you with her? In my place.
Ask her.
How, when you don't know her name? Ask around.
She'll be bragging to all her mates.
Can you go and wash your hands, please? Hi, gorgeous.
Hello, Michael.
That's the piece of glass we found in his skull.
We'll see if there's a mechanical fit with the crystal-ball, but the refractive glass index matches.
Any fingerprints? A few.
Not identified yet.
Looks like some glove marks, too.
But there are some specks of blood separate from the heavily-stained area.
Suspect may have cut himself, even through gloves, and left his own blood.
Alex, what about the coin? The Romanian one, this one.
Have you checked it for Pavel's DNA? We're doing it now.
We've swabbed and photographed it.
So, can I touch it? Of course you can, Michael.
Very simple.
Very lethal.
You thought you could bribe Pops to move, strong arm him.
No.
How do you think Pavel intended to persuade him? What does "persuade" mean to you? There was a lot of money in it for the old man.
£100,000 relocation fee? My guess is, Pavel thought he could talk him round.
You think he intended to use violence? I doubt it.
He's not that kind of man.
We just arrested Pavel Golescu threatening your mate Doug Reid with a knife.
You found him? He's being interviewed.
And, if I'm honest, it's not looking very good for you.
I think Pavel might have known something about the girl's death.
Ah, come on, tell us, what do you know, Pavel? Huh? Tell us, who killed Vicky? Micky Olson says you know something.
Yes, why don't you impart this information to us, eh? Because, right now, all the evidence for both deaths is pointing right at you.
Why do you think Pops had a Romanian coin in his pocket when he died? Arcade.
Every foreign coin in arcade.
And it was wrapped in a handkerchief, as if it were special.
It's Romanian, like you.
It has your DNA on it.
I clean arcade every night.
You know, the mark on the face of the coin exactly fits the circumference of the safety bar deadlock on the carriage that Vicky fell from.
The edges had been hammered.
It was made to fit.
Yeah, sometimes we make something to fit bar, it helps cleaning.
Cleaning? People throw up.
It's easier to have a safety block, so you can wash quicker.
Really? And who would be responsible for cleaning up after the Big Wheel? Not me.
Oh, come on, Pavel.
Pops found the coin, didn't he? Yeah, and after the accident, he put two and two together.
That you slotted it into the deadlock mechanism to make sure the safety bar didn't work when Vicky Ellis and Lisa Gale were on the ride.
Which is why you had your fight with Pops.
I had no fight with Pops.
Oh, really? We found broken glass in the garbage behind your trailer.
PC Louis has just brought me a DNA report.
Shards of glass we believe are from the murder weapon.
And this says that the piece of glass has your fingerprints all over it.
And this is a copy of the paper it came wrapped in.
That's not me.
I write much better than that.
Come on, Pavel.
Glass with fingerprints, practice signatures.
Come on, son.
You really think I'd be so stupid to kill and leave all this evidence point at me?! Butter wouldn't melt in his guilty little mouth.
Yeah.
I'm not so sure he is guilty.
Well, if he blackmailed the old man, he knows something.
Hm.
How're we doing, everyone? I was just going through the old man's stuff.
Found another blood type on the glass.
We're getting prints and DNA samples from everyone at the fair.
What do we know about Lisa Gale? Who talked to her? I did.
Early on.
Health and Safety gave us a witness statement.
She said she didn't see anything.
That's bullshit, Satch! She sat next to her, for God's sake! Roisin, go back and interview her again.
Nick her if you have to.
Find out what's going on between her and Pavel.
DCI Connor, DS Palmer, here to see Lisa.
She's in the back.
Thank you.
I know you've been over this, but I have to take you back to the Big Wheel.
When you got on, what happened? We was all just messing 'round.
Who was? Vicky, me, some boys.
Which boys? Tommy, Pavel.
But before you said you didn't know them.
It's OK, Lisa, carry on.
We got in and I pulled the bar and Tommy closed it.
Pavel thought it was funny.
They were having a row.
Who was? Tommy and Vicky.
A row? They were seeing each other.
What? Tommy was, not Pavel? Tommy was mad about her.
Thank you.
I'm afraid you're just gonna have to take me through this again, Lisa.
Pavelleaned in and kissed Vicky, in front of Tommy, to upset him.
Pavel had been going after her.
I think, just to wind up Tommy.
Those boys just lead 'em on.
She had a thing for that foreign one.
I told her, "He's too old.
" And were you jealous of Vicky? In your statement, you claim you didn't even wanna go on the ride.
Now, we have witnesses who have seen you dragging Vicky on to it.
Now, why are you lying to us, Lisa? Did you want to hurt Vicky, and it just all got a bit outta hand? And when the safety bar opened, you didn't know that, or did you push her, Lisa? Is that what happened? No.
it wasn't me! Well, then, who was it? Tommy and Pavel did this dare the night before, when the fair was closed.
Pavel shows off, does crazy things.
They had a bet, him and Tommy, for a laugh.
Tommy was supposed to do it, too.
He wanted to impress Vicky.
Come on, big boy, your turn.
Can't.
If something happens, we could lose our licence.
Well, nothing ever does, does it? Nothing exciting ever happens in your life.
Loser.
Come on, let's do something interesting.
See you.
That night when Vicky fell .
.
Pavel was still winding up Tommy.
That's why he kissed her.
And when we were on the Wheel, high up .
.
I saw Tommy running back and shouting.
No STOP! STOP THE WHEEL! Then I knew they'd done something.
He was shouting before Vicky stood up? Tommy loved her.
He wouldn't hurt her! Why would she stand up, then? I told her to.
I dare you to stand up, go on! OK.
Watch! Watch! WOO-HOO! I didn't know.
You told her to stand up? It was just a dare.
The boys do it all the time.
I killed her, didn't I? It's my fault! I told her to stand up and now she's dead! Is she dead?! Is she dead?! Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
What have I done?! You're safe now.
It's OK.
It's OK.
You must know where Tommy is, Tess, he doesn't do anything without you.
We have been searching for him for five hours.
Well, he's never just gone off before.
He's got nowhere to go.
And do you have his passport or not? Why would you have his passport? We were going to France for his birthday.
I need something for a DNA sample.
Do have his toothbrush? Help yourself.
Thank you.
Not in there! Outside.
We keep our washing things outside.
So, Tess, why France? His mother was French.
But Tommy's not going to make his way to France.
That's not likely.
The boy can't even tie his own shoelaces or write his own name.
This one? Not indoors! Anyway, that's mine.
He's probably taken his, taken everything.
What about his father? Would he have gone to see his dad? Dead, long ago.
Pops and I brought him up.
He's got no-one else.
Where the hell's his passport? He's in trouble.
We must take care of the children.
Time is running out.
OK, I've got two, Mike.
Tess, Pops, no Tommy.
If Tommy's taken his passport, he must be thinking of using it.
Doesn't mean a damn thing.
She could've got rid of it.
Yeah.
Or he's headed for France.
Put out an all ports warning.
OK, but I'm not losing all my resources from here to go on a wild goose chase, Mike.
The signature's authentic.
Oh, no way! Experts say the writing is Pops'.
We had to search for signature.
The man had no bank account.
We ended up having to use old purchase orders for comparisons.
No bank account.
That figures.
The girl that Pavel says he was screwing has come forward.
She says they were.
Do we believe her? Well, a friend of hers saw them going into his caravan.
But why the hell would Pops be practising his own signature? He was illiterate.
He always practised everything in rough before he copied it down on to any kind of legal document.
OK.
So, what're we gonna do now, with Pavel? I mean, we can't hold him any longer unless we charge him.
Yeah, what with? Inciting young women to get sexually excited? Come on! We got DNA profile off this.
There's no trace on the database, but it could be Tommy Gilbert Jr.
A familial search indicates it's a close relative to the DNA of his grandfather.
We've also found some of the old man's blood.
What, on the burnt piece of fabric? Yes.
Not much.
A few small specks.
It matches some blood on the crystal-ball.
So, Tommy could've battered Pops? The DNA profile in the vomit is the same as the one off the burnt jacket.
OK.
Thank you.
Oh, God! What the hell's going on now? Oh, don't ask! Listen, it was Tommy that beat up Pops.
We've got enough evidence to charge him.
He must be working with Pavel.
Pops' internal autopsy.
How could he do that to his own grandfather? Battering him to death Histopathology report shows fresh thrombus in the left anterior artery.
He had a heart attack?! Yep.
Before any of the wounds were inflicted.
He died, then someone bashed his head in.
Oh, for God's sake! Why don't we just give it up and go home? A heart attack could've been caused by circumstances.
We could still pin it on someone.
You seen his medical records? He was a walking time-bomb.
He should've popped his clogs yonks ago.
Hang on, what about Pavel? We can't hold him any longer.
He's got an alibi for the whole night.
Roisin, look at this.
Look at this.
Look at the end.
That's the end found in Pavel's caravan, right? There's the other one found behind the arcade.
Well, that end's cut.
That wasn't snagged, that was planted.
So, what, he was set up? Yeah.
You'd better let Pavel go.
We'll put surveillance on him, monitor his calls.
Tommy, Tommy, it's gotta be Tommy.
I bet you, that's what Pavel's gonna head for first.
May even get to him faster than we can.
'- Tess.
They haven't killed.
They haven't killed, Tess.
Wasn't them -' Mike! Hm.
I'll get back to you.
You're not going to believe this.
Nearly 100 tapes and it was in the machine all along.
'My -' Hang on, it's back a bit.
I can see your father.
He says you're being bullied and that's wrong.
We must fight for our land.
It's not our land.
They've killed.
We mustn't let them get away with it.
Tess, they haven't killed.
They haven't killed, Tess.
Wasn't them.
It was Tommy.
Tommy killed Vicky, not them.
They'll send him to prison, Tess, if anyone finds out what he's done.
No I NEED YOU! NOW! Don't start till I'm back! He got called away.
I called him away.
What? Tess, he ran back.
He didn't want it to happen.
He just wanted to scare her, but then she stood up.
Well, it wasn't his fault.
WOO-HOO! No! STOP IT! STOP! Pavel has pictures.
STOP THE WHEEL! Rewind it back.
Play it again.
Turn the volume up, will you? '- just wanted to scare her, but then she stood up! Well, it's not his fault.
Pavel has pictures.
And he wants us to sign the deal.
' So, Pavel was blackmailing them with pictures.
What pictures? There was nothing in the caravan.
They'll be on his phone.
His phone's been inactive.
We presumed it was in his caravan, but it wasn't there when they searched.
No, he had it when he was at Reid's.
Didn't have it when we arrested him.
He had it when he was going down the alleyway.
I saw him.
Pavel Golescu, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Thomas Gilbert.
He had it when he ran into the alley.
Get all the bodies you can on to it.
We need it found.
Tess knew how Vicky died all along.
All that bullshit about "mullo", about being in contact with the dead.
Or, she was protecting Tommy.
I mean, she's had us since the beginning, Satch.
Why'd she go to the mortuary to say goodbye? I thought the body was meaningless once the spirit was gone.
James, it's Roisin.
Thomas Gilbert's body, can you pull that out for me.
I want you to check something.
Hang on, pause it.
So, Pavel knew about the coin but he started the Big Wheel anyway.
Yeah, hoping for an accident.
He got more than he bargained for.
Bye.
STOP IT! STOP THE WHEEL! Connor.
Pearls, one in each nostril.
How the hell did you know that? Call it intuition, James.
Thank you.
Pearls, Satch.
She prepared Pops' body before dumping him on us.
So, she came to the mortuary to recover them? Tess is framing Pavel.
Annihilation.
OK, old man.
Sign just here.
Don't sign! He has to, Tommy, there's no choice.
I'd rather go to prison.
They'll relocate us.
It's not the end of the world.
This is our home! Just give me money.
And I give you pictures from phone.
He didn't agree to that.
You're making him ill, dragging him over here.
What more do you want?! He's signed! Here, let me do that.
Enough of this shit.
I want cash! Hey! Give 'em back! How much do you want? £5,000.
He's not giving you anything! Pops?! Oh, my God! Pops Pops? No.
No.
Where's the fucking money, loser?! WHERE IS IT? WHERE YOU PUT IT? Fucking old man dies, now Olson don't want to pay! So, I want £10,000.
And I want money Pops promised for pictures.
Pictures of what you did to Vicky.
Where're you going? Ghost Train.
Find Mike and tell him, please.
Tommy So, old witch, you know where money is? What have you done to him? You better give it me or same will happen to you! You're not getting a penny! Just tell him where it is, Tommy.
Let him have it.
I'd rather go to prison.
For killing Vicky? Shame.
I didn't kill her.
You sent her to the top! I see your plan.
You put coin in Wheel before it move.
Then you act big hero, climb, save girls.
Yeah, I start the Wheel.
Just erdidn't hope for such animpressive result.
You fuck! Come down here! Come and get me! What's this? NO, PAVEL! Never take what belonged to the dead.
Where's the phone? Oh, don't worry.
I get rid of it.
What do you mean, you got rid of it? I sent pictures to my brother in Romania.
Yeah, not stupid, I can get them any time.
For contract, you get hundred grand? Maybe ask for little share.
You can't just keep coming back! Why not? My friend Tommy very rich now.
You bastard! Bastard? Me? That's money for our people! Have you no care? Funny of you to talk of care when you and Tommy so brutal to old man.
Tried to make it look like I killed Pops.
You think you can frame me that easily? They've restored loads of old rides.
He wanted to open a museum.
Yeah, but where the does he keep everything? They must have a maintenance shed.
Come on, guys, we're missing something.
Look, he's got one, two, three, four, five warehouses.
Yes, come on, let's take a look.
You guys take the smaller ones at the back, I'll take the one at the side.
Mike.
Roisin.
Where are you? I'm by the Ghost Train.
I'm less than 50ft away from you.
I'm just behind it.
Yeah.
Find anything? Some kind of storage facility.
Is there anyone there? I don't think so.
There's a fire.
Doesn't look like it's been left long, though.
Mike, I'm telling you, this is the strangest place - DROP THE PHONE! Mike, there's someone here.
DROP THE FUCKING PHONE! Roisin?! Satch! The building behind, we're gotta get in! How? Well, where is she? Oh, Christ.
Got your phone, Pavel! We know what you've done! You might as well give yourself up! Roisin! Stop! Mike? Pavel! Stay back, or I break her neck! You'll never get away with this! Let her go! DON'T FUCKING MOVE! GET BACK! GET OUTTA HERE! Look, you're making a big mistake, son.
Let her go! Oh, you want to come up here and fight me for her? No! You English all the same, no fucking guts! Well, it's not me you want, it's Tommy! Tommy kill girlfriend! No! TOMMY! He's here.
MULLO! YARGH! What do you think Tess'll get? Tampering with a dead body, perverting the course of justice, trying to frame someone else for murder.
I'd say four to six years.
And what about Tommy? The same.
Unless they get him on manslaughter for Vicky.
Eight to ten.
Did Tess say anything to you? Oh, she opened up a little.
Said how she regretted what's been lost between our two families.
Oh, yeah, she said something about a "positive future".
Who do you think they're coming for this time? All of us, in the end.
You look really good tonight.
Help! Help! Lisa! Lisa, help! OK, take my hand.
I can't! The girl on the big wheel was murdered? There's developers after the land.
Like I said to David, they wanna discredit us.
We have the best safety record in the UK.
Is that why you think the accident was an attempt to kill off business? No, they'll be queuing up for the "death ride" tonight.
Disappointed when they find it's closed.
It's those boys.
They're a bloody liability.
Which boys? I didn't know 'em.
Leading the kids on, making 'em do stupid things.
They've been offered a good new site for the fair.
And for their winter standing.
They'll be a lot better off.
How much do you stand to make from this? They're offering four and a half million.
You're in much danger.
Death's closer than you think.
There's a shard of glass in this wound.
The Ten of Swords.
Those who don't listen to the wisdom of the swords will end up impaled on them.
Pops only had one thing on him, a coin.
It was wrapped in a hanky.
What currency's a Lei? Er, Lei ErRomanian.
YOU! You bring bad fortune on us all! Leave him! Leave him or you're under arrest.
Satch, the minute you get this, call me.
If Pavel is there, hold him.
That's not so easy to undo yourself, is it? Wouldn't be safe.
Rough night? So, you've no idea why that bar would open? Or why Vicky would stand up? Girls do weird things.
Yeah.
How're we doing? At least Pavel hasn't left the country yet.
I've released his photo in the areas the funfair've been recently.
Yeah, we'll get Interpol on to it.
Check with family, friends.
See if he was cleared by the CRB.
Oh, yeah.
Get Satch.
Tell him, apart from finding Pavel bloody Golescu, I want all those files cleared from the Incident Room by lunchtime or I'm gonna nail his balls to his bloody desk.
And I will have him explain to the Home Secretary why the highest achieving squad in the metropolitan area can't even keep its house in order.
Pops wrote all this? No, I did.
He spoke it to me.
No-one's written our Romany ways down before.
Look, David, when can we have him back? He must have a Romany burial soon.
Yeah, well, that's up to the coroner.
It won't be before a second post mortem.
He's not at peace.
I heard owls again last night.
Another Omen.
More trouble coming.
Look, we found a Romanian coin in Pops' pocket.
Does that mean anything to you? Pops showed it to me.
He wanted me to sense it for him.
Well, why didn't you tell me? You don't know what he was like.
He didn't want outside help.
But this isn't help, Tess, this is a murder investigation.
Yeah, people are laughing at me at the station.
You're making our family look like a bunch of idiots.
Fred came to see him.
Fred Olson? With his son Micky.
Fred's been good to us over the years, but they were pushing.
They drawn up documents.
To move the fair.
Mullo! It's here! Get it out! All right, all right, all right! Here.
Get it out! She believes birds are "mullo", the living dead.
So, now she thinks she's next.
What she say about the documents? Nothing.
She doesn't know anything.
Just keep going on about Pops' body at the mortuary.
They have all these rituals.
They put thorn bushes round the graves.
Keep the mullo in.
Destroy all the dead person's belongings .
.
except for pearls.
They use those to block up the nose, keep the spirits in.
What, the whole necklace? Hello again.
Did it slip your mind you'd been to see Thomas Gilbert shortly before he was found dead? I think I'd like a lawyer here.
Oh, we can get you lawyers, down at the station.
I was about to call you.
This just came through my door.
But this is the contract you wanted him to sign.
Signed, by him.
No, I saw him just before he died.
There's no way he would've signed this.
We never put pressure on.
We just left it with him.
Do you know Pavel Golescu? Pavel? Yeah.
He does some labouring for Doug Reid.
Really? What else? He thought the old man was on the verge of signing .
.
after the girl died.
He said that might be the final straw.
Pavel said he might be able to swing it.
Really? What does that mean? He came round, asking what it was worth, if he could persuade Pops to sign.
Really? And what was it worth, if he could persuade him to sign? He wanted twenty thousand.
We agreed ten.
Let me get this right.
You're telling me, if Pavel got Pops to sign this contract, you would give him £10,000? Put pressure on him.
I want him to know he's in the shit.
And get samples of Pops' handwriting for me.
Search his caravan, his bins.
I wanna know that signature's authentic.
I'm off to talk to Reid.
When we agreed this, old Thomas Gilbert was still alive.
But this is just gonna be null and void.
Look, Pops was happy to sign.
Did Pops sign? Did we have a deal? So, now someone has to pay.
Yeah.
Except, now they think he was murdered.
Sam? I thought you were meeting me at Reid's? Yeah.
I'm on my way.
Where are you? 'Well, I'm here.
Where are you?' What do you mean "deal is off"?! There's something going on, Sam.
We've got no way of knowing that that is really his signature.
Roisin, don't go in there alone.
Calling me liar?! I'm sorry, Pavel, the deal's off.
Nothing is off! You owe me money and you gonna pay! What do you have in that safe? It's Pavel.
He's got a knife.
Roisin, get the hell outta there! Pavel, put the knife down.
Just put the knife down.
Just - Oh, shit! Whoa! Oi, watch it! Pavel! Pull! Pull, pull! What're you playing at? Idiot! Pavel Golescu, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Thomas Gilbert.
You don't have to say anything.
Anything you do say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Come and have a look at this.
That's it.
Two signature samples please, Mr Golescu.
Er Ladies and gentlemen, Home Secretary, a warm welcome this afternoon.
And maymay Imay Ishit express gratitude for thiser this most important recognition for the work that we continue to - Fred Olson has a contract signed by Pops.
Should I call her Home Secretary or by her name? You're not listening to me.
Yes, I am.
Signed when? The day before Pops died.
And guess what? What? Surprise me.
Pavel is the witness.
What? Pops asked you to witness this contract, though he swore he'd never move the fairground location? And you were the only person to witness it? Girl dies, he thinks it's best for fair.
What was your relationship to Doug Reid? Mickey Olson says you did labouring for him.
I do good work for them.
What does that entail? Labouring? Putting pressure on people? Setting girls up for an accident on the Big Wheel? What was your relationship to Micky Olson? I met him at Reid's.
Yeah.
He would like to see the fair moved.
There's no point to stay.
It's a shit place.
You know, Olson makes money, Pops makes money.
You make money.
£10,000 from Fred Olson, kid.
Well, not yet.
They have to check contract is OK.
Doesn't look OK, does it? The night Pops died, you were on the Ghost Train.
No.
I was there.
I heard Tommy tell you.
I don't take orders from Tommy.
I take break instead.
What did you do on your break? I was with girl.
Which girl? - I don't know her name.
What do you mean you "don't know her name"? Where were you with her? In my place.
Ask her.
How, when you don't know her name? Ask around.
She'll be bragging to all her mates.
Can you go and wash your hands, please? Hi, gorgeous.
Hello, Michael.
That's the piece of glass we found in his skull.
We'll see if there's a mechanical fit with the crystal-ball, but the refractive glass index matches.
Any fingerprints? A few.
Not identified yet.
Looks like some glove marks, too.
But there are some specks of blood separate from the heavily-stained area.
Suspect may have cut himself, even through gloves, and left his own blood.
Alex, what about the coin? The Romanian one, this one.
Have you checked it for Pavel's DNA? We're doing it now.
We've swabbed and photographed it.
So, can I touch it? Of course you can, Michael.
Very simple.
Very lethal.
You thought you could bribe Pops to move, strong arm him.
No.
How do you think Pavel intended to persuade him? What does "persuade" mean to you? There was a lot of money in it for the old man.
£100,000 relocation fee? My guess is, Pavel thought he could talk him round.
You think he intended to use violence? I doubt it.
He's not that kind of man.
We just arrested Pavel Golescu threatening your mate Doug Reid with a knife.
You found him? He's being interviewed.
And, if I'm honest, it's not looking very good for you.
I think Pavel might have known something about the girl's death.
Ah, come on, tell us, what do you know, Pavel? Huh? Tell us, who killed Vicky? Micky Olson says you know something.
Yes, why don't you impart this information to us, eh? Because, right now, all the evidence for both deaths is pointing right at you.
Why do you think Pops had a Romanian coin in his pocket when he died? Arcade.
Every foreign coin in arcade.
And it was wrapped in a handkerchief, as if it were special.
It's Romanian, like you.
It has your DNA on it.
I clean arcade every night.
You know, the mark on the face of the coin exactly fits the circumference of the safety bar deadlock on the carriage that Vicky fell from.
The edges had been hammered.
It was made to fit.
Yeah, sometimes we make something to fit bar, it helps cleaning.
Cleaning? People throw up.
It's easier to have a safety block, so you can wash quicker.
Really? And who would be responsible for cleaning up after the Big Wheel? Not me.
Oh, come on, Pavel.
Pops found the coin, didn't he? Yeah, and after the accident, he put two and two together.
That you slotted it into the deadlock mechanism to make sure the safety bar didn't work when Vicky Ellis and Lisa Gale were on the ride.
Which is why you had your fight with Pops.
I had no fight with Pops.
Oh, really? We found broken glass in the garbage behind your trailer.
PC Louis has just brought me a DNA report.
Shards of glass we believe are from the murder weapon.
And this says that the piece of glass has your fingerprints all over it.
And this is a copy of the paper it came wrapped in.
That's not me.
I write much better than that.
Come on, Pavel.
Glass with fingerprints, practice signatures.
Come on, son.
You really think I'd be so stupid to kill and leave all this evidence point at me?! Butter wouldn't melt in his guilty little mouth.
Yeah.
I'm not so sure he is guilty.
Well, if he blackmailed the old man, he knows something.
Hm.
How're we doing, everyone? I was just going through the old man's stuff.
Found another blood type on the glass.
We're getting prints and DNA samples from everyone at the fair.
What do we know about Lisa Gale? Who talked to her? I did.
Early on.
Health and Safety gave us a witness statement.
She said she didn't see anything.
That's bullshit, Satch! She sat next to her, for God's sake! Roisin, go back and interview her again.
Nick her if you have to.
Find out what's going on between her and Pavel.
DCI Connor, DS Palmer, here to see Lisa.
She's in the back.
Thank you.
I know you've been over this, but I have to take you back to the Big Wheel.
When you got on, what happened? We was all just messing 'round.
Who was? Vicky, me, some boys.
Which boys? Tommy, Pavel.
But before you said you didn't know them.
It's OK, Lisa, carry on.
We got in and I pulled the bar and Tommy closed it.
Pavel thought it was funny.
They were having a row.
Who was? Tommy and Vicky.
A row? They were seeing each other.
What? Tommy was, not Pavel? Tommy was mad about her.
Thank you.
I'm afraid you're just gonna have to take me through this again, Lisa.
Pavelleaned in and kissed Vicky, in front of Tommy, to upset him.
Pavel had been going after her.
I think, just to wind up Tommy.
Those boys just lead 'em on.
She had a thing for that foreign one.
I told her, "He's too old.
" And were you jealous of Vicky? In your statement, you claim you didn't even wanna go on the ride.
Now, we have witnesses who have seen you dragging Vicky on to it.
Now, why are you lying to us, Lisa? Did you want to hurt Vicky, and it just all got a bit outta hand? And when the safety bar opened, you didn't know that, or did you push her, Lisa? Is that what happened? No.
it wasn't me! Well, then, who was it? Tommy and Pavel did this dare the night before, when the fair was closed.
Pavel shows off, does crazy things.
They had a bet, him and Tommy, for a laugh.
Tommy was supposed to do it, too.
He wanted to impress Vicky.
Come on, big boy, your turn.
Can't.
If something happens, we could lose our licence.
Well, nothing ever does, does it? Nothing exciting ever happens in your life.
Loser.
Come on, let's do something interesting.
See you.
That night when Vicky fell .
.
Pavel was still winding up Tommy.
That's why he kissed her.
And when we were on the Wheel, high up .
.
I saw Tommy running back and shouting.
No STOP! STOP THE WHEEL! Then I knew they'd done something.
He was shouting before Vicky stood up? Tommy loved her.
He wouldn't hurt her! Why would she stand up, then? I told her to.
I dare you to stand up, go on! OK.
Watch! Watch! WOO-HOO! I didn't know.
You told her to stand up? It was just a dare.
The boys do it all the time.
I killed her, didn't I? It's my fault! I told her to stand up and now she's dead! Is she dead?! Is she dead?! Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
What have I done?! You're safe now.
It's OK.
It's OK.
You must know where Tommy is, Tess, he doesn't do anything without you.
We have been searching for him for five hours.
Well, he's never just gone off before.
He's got nowhere to go.
And do you have his passport or not? Why would you have his passport? We were going to France for his birthday.
I need something for a DNA sample.
Do have his toothbrush? Help yourself.
Thank you.
Not in there! Outside.
We keep our washing things outside.
So, Tess, why France? His mother was French.
But Tommy's not going to make his way to France.
That's not likely.
The boy can't even tie his own shoelaces or write his own name.
This one? Not indoors! Anyway, that's mine.
He's probably taken his, taken everything.
What about his father? Would he have gone to see his dad? Dead, long ago.
Pops and I brought him up.
He's got no-one else.
Where the hell's his passport? He's in trouble.
We must take care of the children.
Time is running out.
OK, I've got two, Mike.
Tess, Pops, no Tommy.
If Tommy's taken his passport, he must be thinking of using it.
Doesn't mean a damn thing.
She could've got rid of it.
Yeah.
Or he's headed for France.
Put out an all ports warning.
OK, but I'm not losing all my resources from here to go on a wild goose chase, Mike.
The signature's authentic.
Oh, no way! Experts say the writing is Pops'.
We had to search for signature.
The man had no bank account.
We ended up having to use old purchase orders for comparisons.
No bank account.
That figures.
The girl that Pavel says he was screwing has come forward.
She says they were.
Do we believe her? Well, a friend of hers saw them going into his caravan.
But why the hell would Pops be practising his own signature? He was illiterate.
He always practised everything in rough before he copied it down on to any kind of legal document.
OK.
So, what're we gonna do now, with Pavel? I mean, we can't hold him any longer unless we charge him.
Yeah, what with? Inciting young women to get sexually excited? Come on! We got DNA profile off this.
There's no trace on the database, but it could be Tommy Gilbert Jr.
A familial search indicates it's a close relative to the DNA of his grandfather.
We've also found some of the old man's blood.
What, on the burnt piece of fabric? Yes.
Not much.
A few small specks.
It matches some blood on the crystal-ball.
So, Tommy could've battered Pops? The DNA profile in the vomit is the same as the one off the burnt jacket.
OK.
Thank you.
Oh, God! What the hell's going on now? Oh, don't ask! Listen, it was Tommy that beat up Pops.
We've got enough evidence to charge him.
He must be working with Pavel.
Pops' internal autopsy.
How could he do that to his own grandfather? Battering him to death Histopathology report shows fresh thrombus in the left anterior artery.
He had a heart attack?! Yep.
Before any of the wounds were inflicted.
He died, then someone bashed his head in.
Oh, for God's sake! Why don't we just give it up and go home? A heart attack could've been caused by circumstances.
We could still pin it on someone.
You seen his medical records? He was a walking time-bomb.
He should've popped his clogs yonks ago.
Hang on, what about Pavel? We can't hold him any longer.
He's got an alibi for the whole night.
Roisin, look at this.
Look at this.
Look at the end.
That's the end found in Pavel's caravan, right? There's the other one found behind the arcade.
Well, that end's cut.
That wasn't snagged, that was planted.
So, what, he was set up? Yeah.
You'd better let Pavel go.
We'll put surveillance on him, monitor his calls.
Tommy, Tommy, it's gotta be Tommy.
I bet you, that's what Pavel's gonna head for first.
May even get to him faster than we can.
'- Tess.
They haven't killed.
They haven't killed, Tess.
Wasn't them -' Mike! Hm.
I'll get back to you.
You're not going to believe this.
Nearly 100 tapes and it was in the machine all along.
'My -' Hang on, it's back a bit.
I can see your father.
He says you're being bullied and that's wrong.
We must fight for our land.
It's not our land.
They've killed.
We mustn't let them get away with it.
Tess, they haven't killed.
They haven't killed, Tess.
Wasn't them.
It was Tommy.
Tommy killed Vicky, not them.
They'll send him to prison, Tess, if anyone finds out what he's done.
No I NEED YOU! NOW! Don't start till I'm back! He got called away.
I called him away.
What? Tess, he ran back.
He didn't want it to happen.
He just wanted to scare her, but then she stood up.
Well, it wasn't his fault.
WOO-HOO! No! STOP IT! STOP! Pavel has pictures.
STOP THE WHEEL! Rewind it back.
Play it again.
Turn the volume up, will you? '- just wanted to scare her, but then she stood up! Well, it's not his fault.
Pavel has pictures.
And he wants us to sign the deal.
' So, Pavel was blackmailing them with pictures.
What pictures? There was nothing in the caravan.
They'll be on his phone.
His phone's been inactive.
We presumed it was in his caravan, but it wasn't there when they searched.
No, he had it when he was at Reid's.
Didn't have it when we arrested him.
He had it when he was going down the alleyway.
I saw him.
Pavel Golescu, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Thomas Gilbert.
He had it when he ran into the alley.
Get all the bodies you can on to it.
We need it found.
Tess knew how Vicky died all along.
All that bullshit about "mullo", about being in contact with the dead.
Or, she was protecting Tommy.
I mean, she's had us since the beginning, Satch.
Why'd she go to the mortuary to say goodbye? I thought the body was meaningless once the spirit was gone.
James, it's Roisin.
Thomas Gilbert's body, can you pull that out for me.
I want you to check something.
Hang on, pause it.
So, Pavel knew about the coin but he started the Big Wheel anyway.
Yeah, hoping for an accident.
He got more than he bargained for.
Bye.
STOP IT! STOP THE WHEEL! Connor.
Pearls, one in each nostril.
How the hell did you know that? Call it intuition, James.
Thank you.
Pearls, Satch.
She prepared Pops' body before dumping him on us.
So, she came to the mortuary to recover them? Tess is framing Pavel.
Annihilation.
OK, old man.
Sign just here.
Don't sign! He has to, Tommy, there's no choice.
I'd rather go to prison.
They'll relocate us.
It's not the end of the world.
This is our home! Just give me money.
And I give you pictures from phone.
He didn't agree to that.
You're making him ill, dragging him over here.
What more do you want?! He's signed! Here, let me do that.
Enough of this shit.
I want cash! Hey! Give 'em back! How much do you want? £5,000.
He's not giving you anything! Pops?! Oh, my God! Pops Pops? No.
No.
Where's the fucking money, loser?! WHERE IS IT? WHERE YOU PUT IT? Fucking old man dies, now Olson don't want to pay! So, I want £10,000.
And I want money Pops promised for pictures.
Pictures of what you did to Vicky.
Where're you going? Ghost Train.
Find Mike and tell him, please.
Tommy So, old witch, you know where money is? What have you done to him? You better give it me or same will happen to you! You're not getting a penny! Just tell him where it is, Tommy.
Let him have it.
I'd rather go to prison.
For killing Vicky? Shame.
I didn't kill her.
You sent her to the top! I see your plan.
You put coin in Wheel before it move.
Then you act big hero, climb, save girls.
Yeah, I start the Wheel.
Just erdidn't hope for such animpressive result.
You fuck! Come down here! Come and get me! What's this? NO, PAVEL! Never take what belonged to the dead.
Where's the phone? Oh, don't worry.
I get rid of it.
What do you mean, you got rid of it? I sent pictures to my brother in Romania.
Yeah, not stupid, I can get them any time.
For contract, you get hundred grand? Maybe ask for little share.
You can't just keep coming back! Why not? My friend Tommy very rich now.
You bastard! Bastard? Me? That's money for our people! Have you no care? Funny of you to talk of care when you and Tommy so brutal to old man.
Tried to make it look like I killed Pops.
You think you can frame me that easily? They've restored loads of old rides.
He wanted to open a museum.
Yeah, but where the does he keep everything? They must have a maintenance shed.
Come on, guys, we're missing something.
Look, he's got one, two, three, four, five warehouses.
Yes, come on, let's take a look.
You guys take the smaller ones at the back, I'll take the one at the side.
Mike.
Roisin.
Where are you? I'm by the Ghost Train.
I'm less than 50ft away from you.
I'm just behind it.
Yeah.
Find anything? Some kind of storage facility.
Is there anyone there? I don't think so.
There's a fire.
Doesn't look like it's been left long, though.
Mike, I'm telling you, this is the strangest place - DROP THE PHONE! Mike, there's someone here.
DROP THE FUCKING PHONE! Roisin?! Satch! The building behind, we're gotta get in! How? Well, where is she? Oh, Christ.
Got your phone, Pavel! We know what you've done! You might as well give yourself up! Roisin! Stop! Mike? Pavel! Stay back, or I break her neck! You'll never get away with this! Let her go! DON'T FUCKING MOVE! GET BACK! GET OUTTA HERE! Look, you're making a big mistake, son.
Let her go! Oh, you want to come up here and fight me for her? No! You English all the same, no fucking guts! Well, it's not me you want, it's Tommy! Tommy kill girlfriend! No! TOMMY! He's here.
MULLO! YARGH! What do you think Tess'll get? Tampering with a dead body, perverting the course of justice, trying to frame someone else for murder.
I'd say four to six years.
And what about Tommy? The same.
Unless they get him on manslaughter for Vicky.
Eight to ten.
Did Tess say anything to you? Oh, she opened up a little.
Said how she regretted what's been lost between our two families.
Oh, yeah, she said something about a "positive future".
Who do you think they're coming for this time? All of us, in the end.
