Trial and Retribution (1997) s12e06 Episode Script

It's ridiculous they haven't been sent down yet.
Tell me about it.
The man you say you recognised was actually Leonard Bilkin? Yes.
Terrence Bilkin, Barry Bilkin, you are free to go.
The Crown will be applying for a re-trial against Leonard Bilkin.
Have you seen these? Nothing was wrong with that investigation.
We had him until Satch fucked it up! This is DS Short.
She's a financial investigator from Serious and Organised.
No-one else heard your conversation or even just saw you with Lenny? I told you.
Nobody.
About this holiday They've got an eyewitness for the Miller shooting.
All I need is a name.
DS Dave Satchell.
Your husband's been injured.
We've been asked to take you to hospital.
Hello, sweetheart.
Someone's got my Kay and Abigail They've got them! Out you get.
Come on, sweetie.
It's all right.
It's all right.
So, what's all this about? You never mentioned anything about kidnapping women and children.
Nothing to do with us.
Of course it's to do with you! You overstepped the mark.
That's it for me.
I'm out.
I did what I was paid for.
You listen to me, you little shit.
You do exactly as we say or everyone is gonna know about the ten grand you happily accepted.
You're our man on the inside, like it or not, and we want to know everything.
And if we find you've been keeping anything back, we'll fry you alive.
Give her the money.
Hey! Hey! I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
The baby's going to be OK.
Did they hurt you? I dropped the shopping Ssh! Leave them.
She almost lost her baby for Christ's sake! And what's going to happen then? She won't remember either.
They've had long enough.
You're not going in there, get it? Satch wants us to catch them, doesn't he? What's going on? How is she? How's the baby? They're fine.
The doctor says they'll be fine.
Did she give you anything? Two blokes in a car, said they were police.
What make of car? She's not sure.
Said it was green.
Why them? What have they ever done to deserve this? They just want you to forget what you saw.
How do they know it was me? The shooter must have spotted you.
No.
There's no way.
Jamie Johnson knew you were there.
Why would he tell the Bilkins? Fear? Greed? Who knows? We'll find them.
We're going to nail those bastards.
Will we? Carol The green car, Carol, did you get any further? Yeah, we've got the index from the CCTV.
Kay and Abigail are getting in.
It's a Ford Mondeo registered in Wakefield.
Guys, I know we all feel lousy about Satch's wife and kid, but let's stay focused.
This is about Joe Miller's murder and us nicking the Bilkins.
We're all very aware of that, thank you.
Sam, I want you to work with Carol on this Mondeo, OK? Keep pushing it through until you get more.
What I'd - Sam, any update on the van used in the murder? Burnt out.
It's been recovered from wasteland 20 minutes from the Trojan Health Club.
It was reported stolen from Balham on the day of the shooting.
OK, thanks.
Well done.
Good job, team.
Keep going.
Mike, could I have a word with you in my office, please? I ain't got much time, Roisin.
Is this a police investigation, Mike? What? Or is this Mike Walker Versus the Bilkins, the Sequel? The Bilkins shot Joe Miller.
Our job is to nick 'em.
Lenny Bilkin is a vicious thug, but he has never left a string of bodies behind him before.
Are you suggesting it's not them? We need hard evidence, which I will get if you let me.
Once Satch puts either of them at the scene of the murder, you'll have the evidence.
What if he didn't see the face? Do we make it up, Mike? Like Jim Weaver? I really don't deserve this, Roisin.
Especially not from you.
Ballistics have come back with the results on the bullets they took from Miller's body.
They match the bullets that killed Wilson.
Yes, a direct link between two murders.
There's your evidence.
Happy? We still need to prove that the Bilkins pulled the trigger.
Is he coming too? Yeah.
For how long? I don't know.
Until it's safe.
You mean until the Bilkins are put away? I guess, yeah.
You're never going to do it.
You know that.
I don't know that, Kay.
Yes, you do.
The only way we're going to feel safe is if you put the people who did this to us inside.
Do you want me to quit? Is that what you want, Kay? Are you coming in? Good boy! Good boy! There we go! Fetch! What have you found, then? Eh? Recognise it? Should I? It was the gun that was used to shoot Colin Wilson and Joe Miller.
Wait a minute Is that my Tuesday gun? Is that the gun I use to kill people on Tuesdays? How could I forget? So it's just a set of unusual circumstances, eh, Lenny? You might not have noticed, Superintendent, but I haven't been getting out lately.
I think I've got an alibi for Joe Miller's murder.
So you didn't pull the trigger But you ordered the hit.
Oh, so now I'm Al Capone, eh, Ordering hits from my prison cell? Let me remind that I'm a respectable businessman with no criminal record.
Hm You've seen the Godfather, have you, Lenny? One or Two? Both.
Always get rid of the gun.
But you didn't.
That strikes me as out of character.
But then you weren't really running the show, were you? The apple never falls far from the tree.
But it can still be crawling with maggots.
Rotten fruit, your boys, Lenny.
One of them held on to the gun.
So when you go down, you'll have THEM to thank for it.
And now you won't be able to help them.
Or yourself.
You've got no proof of anything.
You've got a gun you know I didn't have in my possession and you've got nothing linking me to the murder of Joe Miller.
This is the best day I've had in weeks.
Thanks, Mike.
Bring on the re-trial, hm? I want to go home.
It's a credit card statement.
February 14th.
It's for food and drinks in a bar called Bocaccio, a gay bar in Marbella.
Let's ask Satch.
I bet he knows it! Jamie Johnson was in Spain the night he claims to have seen Lenny with Miller.
Shit! Sneaky little liar! I'm thinking if Jamie was lying about that, what else was he lying about? Well, like what? What if he's had his own agenda from the off? What if he's been working for the Bilkins all along? It would then make sense how they knew about Satchell being an eyewitness.
Jamie was there! No, no.
Carol, you've got to stay on track.
I still think the shooter saw Satch.
We can't just go on your hunches.
Carol's given us something concrete to follow up.
I'll have a word with Jamie, see what he comes up with.
OK, who wants the good news? Guess who the gun was registered to.
Ain't in the mood for games, Sam.
Terry Bilkin.
It's only Terry Bilkin's own bloody gun! Yes! I don't believe it.
OK, Sam, let's pick him up! Get out! What are you, a boy in a uniform? All right? Sorry, I forgot your name.
Come on.
Listen, I'm going to pick you up.
Wait inside until I come in, OK? I love you.
Give me a kiss.
Here's June.
Want to tell me how you were in two places at once, Jamie? Well? Somebody stole my card.
And did you report it missing? Course not.
Stop messing me about, Jamie.
Will the Bilkins have to know I tried to stitch them up? They will if I have you up for perjury, which I will if you don't come clean.
I need you to do me a favour.
Joe asked me to lie for him.
Why, so Lenny would go down? Is this the truth this time, Jamie? Yes! Are you working for the Bilkins? What? Do me a favour! You could tell them about the shooting, who was there.
I've never spoken to them! But I can tell you one thing.
I know which one shot Joe.
It was Barry.
And I can't prove it, but I know.
How? Because Barry never got over Joe dumping him for me.
Say that again.
He wanted him back.
He kept ringing.
Joe told him to piss off.
He told him he was in love with ME.
Barry Bilkin's gay? Miller! Then Joe turned up on the witness stand testifying against him.
I reckon he flipped.
Joe told me he was a psycho.
Why didn't you tell us this before? I didn't want to get on the wrong side of Barry Bilkin.
Do you recognise this gun? No.
How come there's one registered in your name? It was registered in my name, but it was deactivated.
In 2001.
Sounds about right.
Well, somebody's re-activated it and I think that's you.
No.
No, definitely not me.
You see, the er the gun was stolen.
18 months ago.
Hey.
Good to see you back.
I hear they've arrested Terry Bilkin.
Interviewing him now.
Room 2.
How's Kay? She's fine.
And Abigail? She's too young to know what happened, isn't she? Well, that's a blessing.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
What? For what happened.
I'm just really sorry.
Yeahyou said.
I don't expect you to believe it, but I expect a jury to believe it.
A mate of mine, Jack Seft, was thinking about buying it.
So I drove it over to him.
Stopped off to get some fags, came back to the car and guess what? The car was broken into! And you were there! How do you feel about Joe Miller? Well, he's not exactly on our favourites list.
Oh, really? Not even Barry's?.
I would have thought he would have been.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Come on, course you do! Barry and Joe had a relationship.
Joe ended that relationship about a year ago.
From what I hear, Barry was very broken-hearted.
There was no relationship.
I suppose in your family, coming out isn't easy.
My brotheris not gay! You know what, Terry? I'd love to be a fly on the wall when your old man gets to find out.
Charge me.
Go on.
Charge me, then.
Can't, can you? Can't charge me, can you? I think it's about time we were going, don't you? My brief says they've had Terry in.
Yeah, they've let him go.
Yeah, I heard.
Something about his gun.
Are you joking? What? HIS gun? Len Where's his head at? I told him to get someone in to take care of Joe Miller.
It wasn't his fault.
He thought Barry had got rid of it after the jewellers Barry! Not Terry, Barry! I should have known.
I think he wants to prove something.
Yeah, he's proved something.
He's proved he's a fucking idiot.
He only wants to please you.
If he screws up again, he'll be impressing me in the next cell.
Tell Terry to get him onside, and quickly! He won't listen to Terry.
He'll have to listen to YOU! Donna, I'm nearly 60.
If I go down for this, I ain't coming out againever.
You were on the phone Yeah, I was talking to Kay and II heard something.
Shots? You heard shots? Yeah, I heard shots.
I went to ground.
I was scared.
It's OK.
I'd have been scared too.
OK, you looked up, you looked to see what it was.
Who did you see? I don't know, Mike.
One of the Bilkins.
You just said that! No, I said it COULD have been.
Oh, come on, Dave! They had balaclavas on, Mike! I didn't see their faces! They bloody saw yours! No, they couldn't have.
I was down behind the car.
There's no way they saw me! Look, someone somewhere told the Bilkins that I'd be there.
It's them we should be looking for.
Dave, you need to stay focused.
I've been chasing these bastards for 20 years.
I'm not going to chase phantoms! That brief was right.
You are obsessed with the Bilkins.
OK, Satch.
Never mind.
Why don't you just go home? I can understand how you're feeling.
Just go home.
You have no idea what I'm feeling! You have absolutely no fucking idea! Satch! They took my wife and my kid, Mike! Do you know what it's like, being unable to protect your family, looking over your shoulder every fucking second? You want this to go away? You give me what I need! Oh, that's right, Mike.
Because it's all about you, isn't it? Not unless we serve Lenny Bilkin's head on a platter.
Well, fine.
It was Barry.
Or Terry.
You choose.
OK, Satch, that's enough.
Come on, Mike.
Come on.
It was Barry or Terry.
Your choice.
This is pathetic.
I mean it! You write whatever you want, I'll sign it.
I'm through with this.
I'm through with this.
I'm through with being treated like shit and I'm through with being a copper.
Hey, Satch - I should have done this years ago.
If you walk out, what are you? What am I? If you're not a cop, what are you? A human being, Mike.
DOOR OPENS Evening, Wendy.
You know, I didn't think you'd have to work.
I like to keep busy.
Which I am.
So if you can make this quick.
I'm just here to talk about your husband.
The innocent man you tried to fit up for murder? Barry um .
.
had a relationship with Joe Miller.
You don't seem surprised.
I don't see how my private life is any of the police's concern.
Fair enough.
Absolutely.
Thing is, it's not just personal.
It's actually a bit of a mess.
I think that Barry asked Joe Miller to be part of the jewellery raid.
Lucy? You can go home.
Why would he do that? To get back together again.
How sweet.
But when Miller said no and it all started going wrong, he realised he had a chance to take down not just Barry, but the whole Bilkin clan.
Wasn't much of a plan in the end, was it? Well, you think about it.
Barry's got almost too many reasons to want Miller dead.
Sounds like he got what he deserved.
What about you? Did you get what you deserved? You could go down as an accessory to murder.
Is it worth it? Is HE worth it? I could get you out of here.
I can give you a new start.
You tell me what I need to know about the Bilkins and I can protect you, Wendy.
Help you put Barry away? Yeah.
He has let you down, Wendy.
You owe him nothing.
You owe THEM nothing! I made my choices.
I stand by them.
Huh Boss, they've found the Mondeo that was used in the abduction of Kay and Abigail.
Burnt out, of course, but they found a petrol can nearby.
Managed to pull off some prints.
They showed up as belonging to a character name of Johnny Howells.
What do we know about him? He's a jack of all trades.
Been involved in burglary, car theft, drug dealing, ABH.
He's been in and out of prison.
Any connection to the Bilkins? No, nothing that leaps out.
Hang on, the ABH Fabio Conte.
You know who that is, don't you? The restaurateur who gave the Bilkins their alibi.
Pull in this Johnny Howells.
I don't believe in coincidences.
Go underground? I ain't scared.
Oh, big man! I'm really impressed.
Do you know the difference between brave and fucking stupid? Meaning what? Meaning next time you shoot someone, why don't leave a nice note, eh? "Yours truly, the Bilkins.
" Save everyone the trouble.
If there is a next time! This is your father's decision.
End of story.
Dad should cover own end and let us take care of business.
When you're half the man your father is, you can tell him so.
Till then.
keep it shut.
I'm getting pretty fucking jarred by people telling me what to do! You seem to do what you want most of the time.
Meaning what? You know what.
You fucking slag! Fucking silly tart! Hey.
Hey.
Take it easy, mate.
Oi, you should say sorry, Wendy.
You're way out of order.
Don't you protect him.
It's about time someone told him what's what! Leave it alone, Zoe.
Why? You think I like that around my kids? It's disgusting.
Shut your mouth.
Leave it alone.
You can all leave it alone right now! We are THIS close to going down.
All of us.
Christ, I wish Lenny was back! You have no idea how much I miss having a real man about.
Now, we are a family.
Got it? And we're going to start behaving like a family.
That means no more solo stunts, no more fuck-ups.
And we are gonna leave this place in half-an-hour.
So get packing! So let's not mess about, Johnny.
Your fingerprints were found on a petrol can on a wasteland in south London.
The can had been used to torch a Ford Mondeo that was used in an abduction.
So, do you mind telling me how your prints got there? Well, yeah.
I just happened to be passing this wasteland and I saw this burnt-out car.
And you were just passing? Saw this burnt-out car.
A petrol can just lying there.
So I checked if it was empty and it was and I went on my way.
What do you know about Kay and Abigail Satchell? I don't know them.
Really? I think you do.
What's on your mind? The usual things.
Man shot in cold blood in front of me, my wife and daughter abducted in broad daylight, you know Anyone would think it was YOU they'd taken.
Try thinking about me and Abi for a change, can you? I can't think of anything else.
You know, if you let them get to you like this, they have won.
Maybe they have.
Valencia Conte.
Name mean anything to you? Let me refresh your memory.
You did six months for ABH on her brother Fabio.
Valencia, of course, goes by the name Zoe Bilkin these days.
This ringing any bells? I don't have to say anything.
No, you don't, Johnny.
But now we know your connection to the Bilkins, we can bring them in, we can explain how careless you've been leaving prints over a petrol can and then charge them with being accessories.
You can't do that.
Oh, yes, we can! Hey They'll kill me.
They probably will, yeah.
So why don't you just tell me about your relationship with Zoe Bilkin? Where did you meet her? She lived in Leeds.
She went on this trip to London and met Terry.
When she went back North, Terry followed her.
It seems she fell for Terry.
Her parents were dead and her older brother Fabio, he brought her up.
When he found out that Terry was already married and Zoe was giving up all things Italian, he went ape shit.
So Bilkin got you to take care of the brother? No.
HE took care of the brother? Zoe took care of the brother.
She laid into him with this bit of piping.
I was there and I took the wrap for it.
Why? It was worth it.
Armley didn't didn't bother me, and I bought a house.
Fabio, he got a stint in the hospital and a restaurant, so So, Terry told you to kidnap Kay and Abigail Satchell? No.
I did that myself.
It was nothing to do with them.
You send me down I don't care.
Have you seen Mike? No.
I think he's gone.
You're working late.
Yeah.
Oh, Dave? I thought he was out order earlier.
Well, that's the way he is.
You live with it.
Or not, as the case might be.
How long are you staying with us? Till the re-trial.
You've been working on the Bilkins forhow long is it now? Er, about a year.
I've got a present for Walker.
Should make you very happy as well.
How do you mean? I know who shot Miller.
I remembered.
That'sthat's great.
Are you gonna ask me who it is? Go on, then! I'll save it for Mike.
He'll probably walk, though.
They always do.
Who knows Maybe this time? Yeah, well, I don't give a toss either way.
I'm quitting the Force.
Not my problem any more.
It's bloody Mike Walker! He won't even let you sleep! Hello.
Must be nice to have your family home.
Who is this? It's Donna Bilkin.
Just wanted you to know it was nothing personal and we'd like to make amends.
How? I can pay you to lose your memory.
A nice tidy sum to start your new life in style.
Get all the things your wife's always dreamed of but could never afford on a copper's pay.
What do you say? I say let's talk.
Carol Mike wants to see us all in my office.
Oh, what's up? Turns out Satch can ID the shooter after all.
I know.
He told me last night.
Looks like Mike's third degree worked after all.
Yeah.
Satch? You're back.
Things look different in the morning, don't they? Looks like we've got the Bilkins, Carol.
Tell her, Satch.
Donna Bilkin called me up last night Offered me 50 grand to keep my mouth shut.
Well, that's great! We've got them now! There's only one thing we don't understand, Carol.
Satch tells me you were the only one he told about remembering the shooter.
So who told Donna? What's the going rate, Carol? I think you should maybe tell ME.
I don't want to undersell myself here.
What are you talking about? They could have killed my child! My wife nearly lost her baby because of you! Let go! Let go! It's down to you, you fucking Satchell! There's nothing I can tell you.
That's not going to help you much.
I swear.
It was one-way traffic.
I just gave them information.
They never told me anything.
What about the jewellers? No.
I was as surprised as anyone.
You're telling me that you've been in bed with the Bilkins for how many months and this is the best you can do? Donna Bilkin wants to meet Satchell in a lay-by in Buckinghamshire.
Does that mean anything to you, Carol? Of course.
Yeah, they havea safe house.
Near Tring.
It was bought through a holding company.
That's why it never shows up.
You better be telling me the truth I am! I am, I swear it! II never wanted this to happen.
I hated every minute of it.
When they took his wife and kid Please tell him I'm sorry.
What the hell happened, Carol? It was It was my brother.
He was doing some deliveries for them.
Don't ask me how, but he lost a package.
Of drugs? You know what they're like.
He was going to end up at the bottom of the Thames.
So you went to the other side.
They wanted a car index.
Some other guy who'd stepped out of line So II gave it to them.
And then they had you.
Why didn't you tell us? You don't think we could help? I was scared.
I didn't think.
You're not unique.
Most of us are offered it.
Some of us have the courage to say no.
I'm glad I'm glad it's over.
You do not have to do this.
We could nick them right now, Mike.
It's how it is, Roisin.
Satch could get killed.
His choice.
The transmitter's in the front.
Kay is pregnant! because of the Bilkins, she nearly wasn't.
Yeah? And if it's a set-up, you're dead the second you walk through that door.
I've got armed officers trailing him to the lay-by.
There's another unit on standby at the Tring house.
He's well covered.
I'm taking the risk, Roisin.
I want to finish this today, no more loose ends.
Ready? Yeah.
Let's go.
The copper that saw you shoot Miller, Zoe's gonna pick him up.
That's bollocks.
It's my word against his.
Why can't you just say thank you to us for tidying things up for you? OK, fair enough.
Let me take care of him.
No.
Terry and I will do it.
Why? Why can't I do it? I done Miller.
didn't I? Don't start, Barry.
I haven't got time for this.
We're doing this my way! Come on! Tel I hope you've got the chops for it, bruv.
What's that? All right That's that's quite a six-pack.
It's not gonna hurt anyone and I'd rather not take any chances.
OK.
Get in.
Give me your phone.
What? Phone! Shit, the phone's gone dead.
She must have found it.
Well, give the order to move in.
Why? It's just Zoe.
We can take her.
No, wait till we get to the house.
Take it easy, you're gonna be OK.
You're on our side now.
They're heading for the safe house.
All units stand by.
Move in now, Mike! No, not yet.
Please! I've got a bad feeling about this.
This is Satch's life we're screwing with! It's his bloody choice! Because he's as fucked up about the Bilkins as you are.
I've had enough of this.
I'm getting him out! All units I'm the senior officer, I make the decisions.
Not you.
She's changed direction.
She's heading into the woods.
Where are we going? Your stop.
It's all clear.
What's HE doing here? It's family business.
Have you got the money? Well, that was the arrangement.
Do you think we're stupid? You're quitting the Force.
You're no use to us.
Why are we here, then? Why do you think? Nice and quiet.
No-one around.
No eyewitnesses.
DONNA: That was your big mistake.
If you hadn't have been at that gym But you were Terry? No! For God's sake, no! Satch, you OK? Yeah.
For a minute I thought You bastard! You cheating bastard! I'll have you for this! I think you're confusing me with Carol Short! So Terry killed Wilson and Miller, is that right, Donna? And Barry came along for the ride.
He's dead because of Barry! Double murder, Barry.
That's life with no remission.
I ain't plugged no-one.
Really? That's not what your mama says.
You ain't walking anywhere, son.
I planned the robbery.
I shot Colin Wilson.
I ordered the murder of Joe Miller.
I accept full responsibility for everything.
Leave it, Lenny.
It just won't work.
'Miller!' Barry's given us a statement.
Wilson, Miller.
Admits them both.
Says you were present at Wilson's killing, but he says the jewellery robbery was his idea from the start.
Why did you do it, Lenny? I had you down for much smarter than that.
I had to protect my boys.
She begged me to do it.
Donna? Wendy told her.
She came to see me.
Why didn't you just put a stop to it? You knew it was a mistake from the go.
With respect do you have children, Superintendent? Yeah, two.
They never listen, kids.
They would have gone ahead with it no matter what I said.
Barry wanted it.
He wanted to show me he could do it, that he could be the man.
Or a man? Yeah, you knew about that? Course I fucking knew, I'm not blind.
I'm his dad, nothing changes that.
Stupid bastard.
He didn't think I'd want to know him unless he could large it on the street.
I wonder who he got that from (?) It doesn't matter now.
Here Sorry, sir, there's no smoking in here.
