Post by bunniefuu »

SAM RYAN: How many dead?

ROY PEREIRA: Three.

ASHTON: Two
more in the hospital.

ROY PEREIRA: Parents,
children, all the same family.

SAM RYAN: Is
Jamie Irons a suspect?

I'll put it this way.

He's not dead.

But my dad gets a lot of grief.

In what way?

Oh, business griefs.

Other trucking firms.

Well, he would
target other haulers.

Put them out of business.

ROY PEREIRA: I've seen the
son's garden place. It's a joke.

SAM RYAN: Jamie says
he fell and hit his head.

No. The one who doesn't
fit into the sequence is Lisa.

How do you feel
about Jamie, Lisa?

You stay away
from that girl, Josh.

She's trouble.

She needs me.

A slight mark on the neck here.

How could you say a neck
injury wasn't suspicious?

My mind was on other things.

Theresa's pregnant.

Seems like a very long time.

It is, um, 16 years.

Tony and I are old friends.

We go back a long way.

Oh. Longer than his wife?

Jamie Irons, I'm arresting
you on suspicion of being...

Oh calm down, mate.

In the m*rder of Derek,
Vanessa, and Arlen Irons.

I'm the victim here.

[theme music playing]

[mobile beeping]

ROY PEREIRA: Detective
Superintendent Ashton

has just re-entered the room.

What would you
say if I told you we've

recovered the g*n used to
k*ll your mum and your sister?

And that inside was a
b*llet of the same type

of manufacture as the
ones hidden in your flat.

I'd say they're a very
common type of b*llet.

Do you have a g*n?

No.

You've got an interest in
g*ns though, haven't you?

I like sh**ting
as a sport, yeah.

[mobile beeping]

You could always wear a hat.

That's what everybody does.

Would you like me
to buy you a ski hat?

Yeah.

It'll look cool.

Yeah.

Are they all dead?

Jamie's OK.

Mum and Arlene, did
they die straight away?

Sometimes when people
are in great shock or trauma,

they don't feel any pain.

Lisa is the one you're
closest to, yeah?

You look out for her.

Someone had to.

So where do you sh**t?

I don't.

I used to be in a
g*n club, but that

closed when the law changed.

You know what
g*nsh*t residue is, yeah?

OK. So you had a g*n.



Where do you keep it?

Handed it in?

ASHTON: Where?

Here.

I feel better since you came.

You got a bruise on your face.

Have I?

Mhm.

I think somebody hit you.

And chances are you saw
them at such close range.

I didn't see anyone.

I want to remember, really.

But I can't.

I know.

If I could talk to
Jamie, it might help.

ROY PEREIRA: He
handed the Glock in all right.

Shite.

He claims not to be
near a g*n for years.

Does forensics have
anything off his jacket?

Maybe tomorrow.

We can't hold him.

He's our chief suspect.

Not without any bloody
evidence, he isn't.

The press are gonna
have a field day with this.

All right, Mr. Irons, you
can go for the time being.

I've remembered something.

They had reflective strips.

Trainers.

ASHTON: I don't think
he saw any trainers.

He was too busy trying
to knock himself out.

[car alarm beeps]

So you and Derek
got together when?



ASHTON: And his
wife didn't know.

NINA PALMER: She might have
suspected, but he always lied.

For 20 years?

Derek was a very determined man.

Thank you.

ASHTON: And you never
got jealous of his wife?

NINA PALMER: No.

He loved me.

He didn't love her.

But he stayed with her.

NINA PALMER: That's
because I'm stronger.

She was fragile.

It would have destroyed her.

I'm stronger. I could take it.

You're very
interested in my feet.

Trainers.

I've got a thing for them.

But I don't have
any silver ones.

They're grey.

Do you mind if I
use your toilet?

It's through there.

Is he all right?

What are you doing?

Snooping.

Sorry.

You redecorating?

Yeah.

She's always doing something.

You helping out?

No.

Jamie Irons.

Jamie?

Mum said he needs the money.

His dad was loaded.

I've seen his house.

Don't think Jamie saw any of it.

Right.

Tuesday, 2:30, OK.

Yeah. All right.

Jamie's here.

Jamie, Jamie.

Dreadful bloody business,
son. I'm really very sorry.

Yeah.

I need something
constructive to do.

I'm not with you.

I thought I'd make
myself useful.

Yeah.

Well, we can find you
something to do, I suppose.

Uh, you understand this firm
belongs to me now, don't you?

Is there a will?

I'm the eldest child.

Look, Jamie.

Uh, you got to know an
awful lot about a business

before you start making changes.

No changes yet.

Just want to, you
know, get started.

Start from the books, eh.

The more I understand, the
more useful I can be, right?

The accounts are
on the computer.

Well, that's difficult.

You went on a holiday together?

I'd book in the same
place, different hotel.

Why?

Why... why a different hotel?

Because Vanessa was
with him in the other.

But he'd get away, and we'd
meet for drinks and meals.

And you never got fed
up with that situation?

NINA PALMER: Oh yeah.

But he looked after me.

And I got the best of him.

It seems to me, Miss Palmer, like
he got the better half of the bargain.

He loved me.

[sobbing]

Taste that tea?

Mm.

Ugh.

Sorry about the trainers.

Idiot.

She was right.

They were grey, not silver.

Where did you get to?

[car alarm beeps]

She's redecorating.

One room's been stripped,
paint, wallpaper, the lot.

Son says she was
paying Jamie to work on it.

Really?

ROY PEREIRA: Mm.

That's interesting.

Phone call, Lisa.

There you go.

Hello.

JAMIE [ON PHONE]: Hi, bundle.

It's Jamie.

I want to come and see
you, but they won't let me.

You all right?

Have you told them anything?

No. Nothing.

Look. I'm going to try
and get you in the morning.

I've got Taverner on the run.

Don't tell anyone.

OK.

This isn't about my work.

It's about my family.

And I'm sorry. It's
different for you.

So what?

Are you handing in your
notice? Are you leaving?

No.

No.

I'm just trying to get my head
around having another kid.

You'll be fine.

Well, I think I like the idea.

Oh.

About Tony Ashton, it
really is none of my business.

Well, don't worry. I'm more
concerned about Harry.

He's in your office
with a DI Rhodes.

Can I get this straight?

You are now saying there's
clear evidence of foul play.

A fractured larynx, yes.

Hello. I'm Dr. Dalton.

Now, once you change your mind,

you raise all sorts of doubts
about your competence.

DR. DALTON: Look.
This is very simple.

I'm the senior pathologist.

There was a professional
difference of opinion.

Harry stood his ground
with great courage,

and I now agree with him.

He was right.

Oh. That gives me
some cause for optimism.

So you're saying Mrs. Boardman
can't have fallen downstairs

and might have been strangled?

She was very
frail, but yes, I do.

Right.

Well, now we have to find
who would k*ll an old lady

who was already dying, and why.

Do you want Chinese?

No. But I wouldn't mind
some prawn crackers.

JAMIE IRONS: Get me a chow
mein while you're down there.

No. Because I'm
not going down there.

JAMIE IRONS: Is
this what we pay you?

What of it?

JAMIE IRONS: What of it?

There's empty trucks
flying about all over.

This place is a shambles.

This place keeps 36 men in work.

Yeah, well, looks like we're
going to lose one or two of them.

You may own this firm,
but you don't work here.

Do you get it?

You're not an executive.

You don't make decisions.

I am.

I just have.

You're fired.

No.

No. No. You can't do that.

I can, because he's
been on the fiddle.

Prove it.

Oh no. You're
too smart for that.

But my mum always said you
were on the take, and I believe her.

Just prawn crackers, right?

This is certainly in a
dangerous condition.

Trouble is she couldn't
have been upstairs.

Yeah. But there's
no bed down here.

She slept in that chair.

Fits in with her
chest condition.

If your lungs keep
filling up with water,

you want to be upright.

Otherwise, you never sleep.

She was a very wealthy old lady.

Looking worse then.

Donations to charity.



What on Earth did
she want with a car?

For the daughter maybe.

[mobile phone rings]

Yeah. Well, I can check that.

Leo Dalton.

Where?

Yeah. All right. I'll be there.

Yeah. Thanks.

Sorry. I've got to bail out.

[radio chatter]

On your own?

It's Sam's night off.

Dinner somewhere.

Somebody's got
it in for this family.

Yeah.

Poor sod.

He was in the clear.

No g*nsh*t
residue on his jacket.

Nothing in that room he was
doing up at Nina Palmer's either.

ASHTON: Put the guards in
the hospital on full alert now.

What can you tell me?

Multiple injuries.

It was probably the road, but
he could have been beaten.

Roy, interview all the
local trucking firms,

governors, drivers, mechanics,
down to the tea ladies.

- Maybe it's a w*r.
- OK.

His dad's yard is walking
distance from here.

Weren't you surprised
when he never came back?

He wasn't exactly the
sharpest Kn*fe in the drawer,

if you know what I mean.

So what sort of
position did you envision

him occupying in the firm?

Well, frankly, he'd have
been pretty useless.

He'd have had to
spend a long time getting

to know how we do things.

And he was happy with that?

I think he took my point.

Work this late normally, do you?



Just like you.

DR. DALTON: The
pavement's blocked.

So you have to go onto the
road to avoid the roadworks.

And the right-hand side
of his body is damaged,

which is consistent with a
glancing blow from a vehicle.

That's a bit of a
coincidence, isn't it?

His family got wiped
out in a m*rder,

and a couple of days
later he dies in an accident?

What about his hair? There's
lots of blood around there.

I think you'll find
that's just take-away.

You're saying it was m*rder?

Let's just say there's a
question mark over how she d*ed.

The person that found
her, the careworker...

Alison Veness, yeah.

She told the first officer at the scene
that your mother had fallen downstairs.

We now find that's unlikely.

So we have to work
out what did happen.

There may be a perfectly
innocent explanation.

GINETTE LUCAS: We
were worried about Alison.

We thought... well, to be frank,

she was a bit overbearing
and not very patient with Mum.

You didn't see your mother
the day she d*ed, either of you?

Andy was at work.

I'm a trade union official.

I was at a conference.

Must be hard to do a job like
that and look after your mum.

Yeah.

I feel so guilty.

I tried to see her
as often as I could.

Old people can
be very difficult.

She wasn't an ogre.

It was just the pain,
irritation about her age.

Um... Was there anything else
about Alison Veness you didn't like?

She was lazy.

I used to spend hours cleaning.

Sorry about this.

No probs.

That should be fine now.

OK.

- Thanks very much.
- Bye.

Professor Ryan.

Are you avoiding me?

Why should I do that?

I don't know.
It's just... well, I...

Excuse me.

I thought it was
good the other night.

I thought you did too.

At least, that's what you said.

It was.

So what?

Back off for being
unprofessional, is that it?

No. It's not that.

Sam, I...

I'm going to need
a little help here.

I'd like to see you again.

And again, and...

That would be unethical.

[sigh] I don't understand.

We'll talk when it's right.

When were you going to
tell me you were married?

[groan]

This is a forceful impact.

This looks to me like a vehicle.

What about his back?

Surely this has got to be
a b*ating with something.

Not necessarily.

Remember there was a
compressor in a skip nearby.

If he got hit by a car,
spun around, and then

came into contact with a
metal edge on one of those,

then his injuries
would look like this.

Can I have the glass?

Just want to have a
closer look at something.

So who's involved
in this truckers' w*r?

Warford's, Brannigan's.

Um...

Eaton.

- Eaton?
- Yeah.

As in Charlie Eaton?

Yeah. He's got a business
down the road there.

Did you know his sons
were harassing Arlene Irons?

News to me.

Whoa.

Some of these trucks
have taken a few hits.

Ha ha.

Occupational hazard, old son.

ASHTON: You don't
m*rder with a car.

It's easily traceable.

It's very difficult to
maneuver a car into a position

where you can
strike your victim.

At all, never mind undetected.

How are we getting on?

Very slowly.

Come and join us if you like.

No. You're all right. Thanks.

Superintendent
Ashton would be happier

if this was a blunt
trauma with a baseball bat.

It would fit with
a theory I've got.

Well, let's just leave theory
outside and concentrate

on the facts, shall we?

Like this for example.

SAM RYAN [ON SPEAKER]: I
think we should go back to the scene,

just in case something's
been missed.

[vacuum humming]

- Mum.
- Yeah?

You know you should try and help
those more unfortunate than yourselves?

One might say we were
very unfortunate ourselves.

Well, there's always
someone worse off.

Look at Lisa.

Now, Jamie's dead,
she's got no one.

Where's she going to live?

Who's going to look after her?

Social services will
find her a foster family.

She doesn't want
a foster family.

Can't she come and live with us?

That'd be like you
two living together.

You're too young.

You're always
against me and Lisa.

She's a very
manipulative young lady.

Since you two started, you
hardly do any school work,

and I never get to see you.

You would if you'd
let Lisa in the house.

[scoffs]

It's like you're scared there's
something unnatural about it.

It is unnatural being
serious at your age.

You had boyfriends at my age.

You were seeing Uncle Derek!

I wasn't 16!

Now, there are just one or
two irregularities, Mrs. Veness,

I'm sure it's nothing.

Please have a seat.

Um...

Now, when the GP arrived,
you said she'd fallen downstairs.

I said she looked like
she'd fallen downstairs.

Right, but she
couldn't climb the stairs.

She hadn't done so for years.

It was the position she was
in as if she'd tried to and fallen.

She might have wanted
something from up there.

I expect she didn't
always do as she was told.

ALISON VENESS: She
was as good as gold for me.

You got on well with her?

Yeah. She was my favorite.

Oh.

Had she ever wanted her
things from upstairs before?

Yes.

Well, what had
she done about it?

She sent me up or
her daughter, Ginette.

So why not wait for
you to come this time?

I don't know.

Oh, look. It was
a silly suggestion.

I don't know why I made it.

But you did make it,
and I'm interested in why.

It was the way
she was lying there.

You see, Mrs. Boardman's
post-mortem examination shows

injuries that may have
been inflicted deliberately.

And you're the one
who's misled everybody

about how she really d*ed.

I hadn't been to
see her for two days.

Don't you go in every day?

A job came up, consumer survey.

Two days, and I took it.

And left her all on her own?

That wasn't very caring.

Do you know how
much they pay us?

You try raising
three kids on that.

Did she buy you a car?

I couldn't afford one, and she thought
I'd come and see her more often.

I'm gonna lose my
job now, aren't I?

Tell me about old
Mr. Townley next door.

I've been waiting for you.

Let's get away as soon
as the funeral's over.

Ten years ago, she'd
have wanted to come too.

You're right.

Let's do it.

But first, please come with
me and pay your respects.

No.

Let's end it like we
started, all good friends.

Please, Andy.

There's blood on here and what
looks like fiber from his jacket.

He must have been hit
and then thrown against this

with considerable force.

OK. It was a car.

You were right, both of you.

DR. DALTON: Can we get
some more photos here please?

I've made a fool
of myself, haven't I?

Have you?

I mean not telling you
about Karen, my wife.

I'm not looking for
a husband, Tony.

Things happen.

I remember how long it took
getting off of you the first time.

About 24 hours, wasn't it?

It wasn't right then, and
it wouldn't be right now.

Other people don't come into it.

Lisa Irons is holding out on me.

I think she might relax a
bit more if you were there.

Do you want to give it a sh*t?

- Sure.
- OK.

GUARD: Sorry, Sam.

But you promised.

I can't.

Go on. Go back home.

I'm her friend.

I can make her feel better.

I've had me orders.
She's in danger.

She's not dying. I can see her.

Not that sort of danger.

Well, can't I just
give her these?

[sigh] Make it quick.

Hello.

Hello.

Someone's k*lled Jamie.

I know.

The world's gone crazy.

I'm glad you're getting better.

I brought you these.

We can talk.

They won't let me stay.

Why not?

Because you're in danger.

Am I?

GUARD: Come on, son.

[sniffle]

Soon as you can please.

Thank you.

Is that the splinter that
came from Jamie's body.

Traffic is certain it's an
Omega color coded Baltic blue,

'98 to 2000.

We need a DVLA search on
post codes within a five-mile radius.

That's for starters.

And stop brooding about Jamie.

It wasn't your fault.

There you go.

Thank you.

Jamie rang me the night he d*ed.

Go on.

That's it.

I don't know what he wanted.

He said he was going
to come and see me.

He remembered something.

But you don't?

Little things.

[distant siren wailing]

I was in the downstairs
loo feeling sick.

There was a lot of
noise, screaming.

I looked out.

And there was blood everywhere.

So I went back in.

When it was quiet,
I came back out.

Then, someone grabbed me.

I think I fell.

ASHTON: How was your dad's
relationship with Mike Taverner?

I don't know.

And Jamie's?

Alison Veness seems to
disagree with your wife's

assistant Mrs. Boardman.

ANDY LUCAS: How do you mean?

She said she was
very fond of her.

Never bossed her about.

She wasn't very complimentary
about you two though.

These people
never are, are they?

Says you rarely visited.

Mother-in-law syndrome.

But you went around the
day before she was found?

No.

Mr. Townley saw your car.

He's bonkers.

I was at work.

That scratch mark on your face.

How did you get it?

There's two types of gardeners.

Those who cut back
roses without getting hurt,

and those who don't.

Would you like to provide
a DNA sample which

might help eliminate you
from our inquiries, Mr. Lucas?

This is ridiculous, you know.

ROY PEREIRA: We know it was you.

The phone's
registered in the name

of Charlie Eaton, your dad.

So why were we sending
threatening text messages

to Arlene Irons?

It was only for a laugh.

Were you breaking into
the house for a laugh too,

or was it to steal something?

We weren't thieving.

No. You were just going to
scare poor little Arlene Irons again.

But it backfired, didn't it?

Yeah.

Now, you know what it
feels like to be bullied.

You won't be doing that
again in a hurry, will you?

BOTH: No.

Good...

Now, get out.

Get lost.

DISPATCHER [ON
RADIO]: Delta India Six

from Foxtrot Lima One.

Roy Pereira.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]:
Sir, the DVLA search, you wanted.

It's thrown up 700
Omegas in NW20.

That's a great help.

DISPATCHER [ON
RADIO]: But five of them

are registered to
Derek Irons Trucking.

[music playing]

Well, I hope it rains.

I want to make my garden grow.

My favorite lady has come
and dressed white as snow.

Dirty feet, white meat, trouble
walking across the street.

Give me slack. Take me back.

How you doing, Michael?

Do you know what the time is?

Uh-huh.

I believe you own a blue Omega.

Is that right?

Yeah...

So what?

We'd like to take a look at it.

MICHAEL TAVERNER: Fine.

All right.

Follow me. It's over here.

What's this?

Join the arms trade?

Do you recognize this g*n?

I'm showing Mr. Taverner a Smith
and Wesson a*t*matic M5946 handgun.

You should do. We
found it in your workshop.

What about this one?

I'm now showing Mr. Taverner
a Beretta 92F handgun.

You got that from the
same place, didn't you?

Do you admit that you
recommissioned this w*apon?

Is that a yes?

It's a yes.

What about this one?

I'm now showing Mr. Taverner
a 9 millimeter Glock handgun.

Take a good look at it.

Yeah. I recognize that
one too. It was Derek's.

I sold it to him.

Give him a receipt, did you?

He wanted it for the trouble
he was having with the haulers.

Said it made him feel better.

I can prove that that was
the w*apon used to m*rder

Vanessa and Arlene Irons.

So?

Whoever sh*t them must have
found Derek's g*n in his house.

Mustn't they?

Could have been you.

So take my fingerprints
if it makes you feel better.

I can also prove that the
car used to k*ll Jamie Iron's

was the same year
and model as yours.

[laugh] It wasn't mine.

It's a company car.

I've got one.

Darren's got one.

Nina bloody Palmer's got one.

You drove to Sheffield
and back overnight?

Well, it's no wonder
you feel a wreck.

I had to, Sam.

Why? For God's sake.

I know it's tough for Theresa,

but she's only about
eight weeks, isn't she?

Actually, she's lost the baby.

She had her first
scan yesterday.

There's no heartbeat.

Blighted ovum.

I'm really sorry.

That's the thing really.

I'm not sure I am.

My life's complicated
enough as it is already.

Does that mean we get to
keep you for a bit longer?

I'm afraid so.

[mobile phone beeping]

God, he's a relentless man.

Leo, it's from Lisa.

She's saying "Need to speak.

Please come alone."

Alone?

That's a bit
melodramatic, isn't it?

If I tell you
something about me,

will you promise
not to tell anyone?

Depends on what it is.

Please, never.

All right.

JOSH PALMER: You let her in.

GUARD: She's a doctor.

JOSH PALMER: So?

So she needs to see her.

Well, can I just go in now?

Who's that?

That's my boyfriend, Josh.

His mum doesn't
want us to be together.

She's horrible.

It's good you have someone.

Everyone else is gone.

We sleep together.

He loves me.

Maybe that's why she
doesn't want you to be together.

She doesn't know that.

She mustn't know that.

Can Josh come in?

If you say so, I
can talk to him.

You just going to look at me?

SAM RYAN: Lisa...

I thought there was something
important you wanted to tell me.

Hm?

SAM RYAN: Can
Lisa see her boyfriend?

OK.

Thank you.

GUARD: Five minutes.

[WHISPERING] Don't say anything.

Let me do the talking.

Get your clothes ready.

Don't talk to anyone.

Soon as we get the
chance, we're off.

I'm sorry to drag you here.

I have to give the
police a DNA sample.

Why?

I'll let you get on with it.

[exhales] All her
lines have gone.

She looks young
like she used to.

Like I remember her.

I don't understand why
they asked you to take a test.

It would have looked
suspicious if I'd said no.

Why?

What will it prove?

It'll be positive.

What?

What are you saying?

It's what you wanted, wasn't it?

You said if we didn't do
something there'd be no money left.

Oh my god.

She's there.

You've got to
support me, Ginette.

You said a woman who
wouldn't give any money

to educate her own grandchildren
didn't deserve looking after.

But I thought she was
going to die naturally.

She just went on and on and on,

giving it away to
anybody but us,

screaming at you when you
objected like she always did.

But I didn't ask you to do that.

I did it for you.

Andy.

She gave that cow a
bloody 5,000 pound car.

Andy, she would only have
lasted another few months.

She might have.

You wouldn't.

Lisa tried to tell me something,

and then stopped
herself at the last minute.

Any idea what it
might have been?

No.

But her story doesn't add up.

She's now saying that
she got a bruise on her face

when she fell, but it's
divided into different areas,

like she's been slapped.

I think she's scared.

Of who?

Sam, Superintendent Ashton's
got a suspect in the Irons case.

He wants you on the
scene for on the spot advice.

Where am I going?

Nina Palmer's house.

You mind that.

Sentimental value?

You've lost a wing mirror.

Had a bump lately?

Not lately, no.

What's so special about my car?

Can't you guess?

[scoffs] I'm not a psychic.

ASHTON: A Baltic blue Omega
was responsible for the death

of Jamie Irons.

You lent it to anyone recently?

No.

SAM RYAN: That's a possible.

INVESTIGATOR: Righto.

What are you doing?

Hello, Josh.

I didn't know you lived here.

Sorry.

Nina's your mum, is she?

Why are you only
taking some of them?

We're just looking
for something.

You got a rash?

Eczema.

Are you allergic to something?

Milk, cheese.

You should try soya.

It gives me stomach ache.

I have goat's milk.

[camera clicks]

Can I take a look in the boot?

POLICEWOMAN:
This way, Miss Palmer.

Yeah. Sure.

Will you open the boot then?

Do you remember when
we found Derek Irons

and his clothes smelt?

Josh Palmer has an allergy, so
his mother buys him goat's milk.

It smells of it in there.

Look at that.

[car starts]

[siren wailing]

I think my court
appearance is going

to be brief and unchallenged.

I'm glad.

How come?

The son-in-law, uh, Andy Lucas
confessed to k*lling Sarah Boardman,

pleading manslaughter.

Well, that gets me
off the hook too.

Sorry about Theresa.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Did someone push you there?

How do know that?

Well, when you
see enough bruises,

you begin to get a feel
of how they were made.

Can you?

SAM RYAN: Yeah.

I had a fight with Derek,
and this is what I got.

[scoffs] I'm not
capable of k*lling him.

You saw what size he was.

Why didn't you
tell us this before?

You can't be with
someone all those years,

then the first sign of
a few wrinkles you...

You just throw them
away like a bit of rubbish.

So he dumped you.

I don't think now he ever
cared about me as a person.

Were you wearing this
when he pushed you?

I always wear it.

Can you take it off please?

Oh no.

Never take it off.

It brings me luck.

Well, maybe it will
change your luck.

Evidence can prove
innocence as well guilt you know.

DR. DALTON: What's that?

It puts Nina Palmer
fighting with Derek Irons

about the time he d*ed.

What about Taverner?

He dropped out of the picture?

No. He's still in it,
because of the girl.

I'm just not happy with the
notion of Nina k*lling Derek.

Seems fairly conclusive.

Her story is that
she and Derek had

a tussle earlier the same day.

Well, it would be, wouldn't it?

I keep thinking about Lisa
with that pillow under her head.

I mean that argues
respect, even tenderness

on the part of the k*ller.

Why would Nina feel
like that towards Lisa,

who might recover
and identify her?

But Josh loves Lisa.

ROY PEREIRA: Taverner
was paying you wages?

It was Derek's money.

He'd pay me an allowance.

Just for being his lover?

For Josh.

Josh is Derek's son?

I got pregnant with
Josh on a holiday in Italy.

Derek assumed it was his.

You weren't going
to disabuse him.

I needed the money.

[siren wailing]

[mobile phone beeping]

Who did Josh think was his dad?

I told him his father
left us years ago.

We never talked
about it after that.

And he believed you?

Why wouldn't he?

DOCTOR: So if you can get
those notes sent down to me.

Derek was there all the time.

You said yourself he
was paying for you.

Wasn't that treating
the kid like a son?

He didn't even like Josh.

Thought he was weird.

If I was Josh, I might have
wondered if you were telling the truth.

POLICEMAN: Phone
call, sir. Professor Ryan.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Tony, Nina Palmer's
ring is a match.

ASHTON [ON PHONE]:
Good. Thank you. That helps.

It's not looking
good for her, is it?

ASHTON [ON PHONE]:
No. it's getting worse.

It's started to look like Josh
might have been Derek's son.

SAM RYAN [ON PHONE]: What?

Well, that can't be right.

His girlfriend's Lisa Irons.

They're sleeping
together. She told me.

I've got a bad
feeling about this.

Can you, um... Can you
meet me at the hospital?

SAM RYAN [ON PHONE]: Sure.

Superintendent Ashton here yet?

No.

He's got a couple
of questions for Lisa.

Where is she?

She went to take a bath.

When?

About 40 minutes ago.

Oh god.

[siren blaring]

I want the area sealed off.

No one except medical
staff goes in or out.

You and you, come with me.

[radio chatter]

She's not here.

You... morons.

Get outside with the rest
of them and search the area.

Go!

When did Lisa tell you that
she and Josh were together?

Earlier this morning.

What?

I'm sorry, but it
was in confidence.

Oh. All right.

Well, that's...
that's fine then.

Are you trying to
screw up my life?

Josh, at the house?

I thought that you
tried to k*ll me too.

No...

Never.

After Arlene, after Jamie, you
were screaming, really screaming.

You were screaming,
and I couldn't stop you.

I had to do it.

I got to get back to work.

What are you doing?

Making defenses.

How's that going to defend us?

If they come to split
us up, I'll set light to it.

But we'll burn.

It'll give us time to
do what we have to.

They're not going
to split us up, Lisa.

But I don't want to burn.

You won't feel anything.

I'll do what I have to
before you feel any heat.

I'll make sure you're asleep.

Asleep?

We'll both go to sleep.

But I don't want to.

I'm scared, Josh.

Then, we'll always be together.

[banging]

[mobile phone ringing]

LISA IRONS [ON PHONE]: Hello.

Lisa, are you all right?

LISA IRONS [ON
PHONE]: I think so.

Where are you?

Hiding.

Can I come and talk to you?

I'm not sure it's very safe.

Did you run away?

LISA IRONS [ON PHONE]: Yeah.

With Josh.

SAM RYAN [ON
PHONE]: Where are you?

Jamie's garden place.

Well, stay there. I'm coming.

Get me Pereira now.
Yeah. Well, find him!

- Where's Jamie's garden center?
- Milo Castille.

That's where she is.

Just Nina Palmer and
some uniform back up.

Meet me at Milo Castille.

POLICEMAN [ON
PHONE]: Right, sir.

Could Josh have
k*lled Jamie as well?

It's possible, but Lisa
really cared for Jamie.

She couldn't have
been involved in that.

[music playing]

It's the grit we
found in Derek's bag.

[music - "Edelweiss"]

Edelweiss...

Edelweiss...

Lisa.

What do you want?

What's he doing here?

You know what I'm
doing here, Josh.

We've come to help you
decide what you want to do.

Are you all right, Lisa?

She wants to stay with me.

Well, the way you're playing
this, Josh, this isn't going to work.

Did you k*ll Derek?

I just wanted me and
Lisa to be together.

It was Dad's fault. He
was going to split us up.

Why would he do that?

He caught us in here
together, you know.

He said that we were brother
and sister, and we were disgusting.

He said we'd go to
prison for that sort of thing.

You disgusting
dirty little sh*t.

Get your hands off my daughter.

Stop it! Dad, no!

Just stay away from her.

She's your sister, your sister.

What are you doing?

No. Leave him alone!

I don't want you going
anywhere near her.

You're a freak. You're scum.

Dad!

Leave her alone.

Leave her alone!

Let go!

He deserved it.

LISA IRONS: We thought if we
just get him back to the house,

we could make it
look like a break in.

But Vanessa saw you.

We didn't know mum
was asleep upstairs.

VANESSA IRONS:
Derek, is that you, babe?

LISA IRONS: She should
have been collecting Arlene.

Who the hell are you?

[g*nsh*t]

And then Jamie
come home with her.

No.

No!

Mum?

[g*nshots]

LISA IRONS: It was horrible.

[sob] He didn't mean it.

No!

We didn't mean it.

You didn't mean it?

You took your mum's car, and
you k*lled Jamie in cold blood.

But you didn't mean it, Josh?

We'll be split up, won't we?

People will try to understand,
but we're not going to lie to you.

I don't want to be split up?

Whoa, whoa!

Calm down, Josh!
Now think about this.

Accepting responsibility
for what you've done

doesn't necessarily
mean that you and Lisa

are going to be
split up forever.

Your mum says you're
not brother and sister.

Dad said we were.

We can prove it.

We can do a DNA test.

Don't, Josh.

Please.

I'm tired.

[radio chatter]

ASHTON: With a clever lawyer

they might just get a jury to
believe that none of it was planned.

SAM RYAN: Except for Jamie.

ASHTON: Except for Jamie.

ROY PEREIRA:
All right. In the car.

He'll be put away
for years, won't he?

Probably.

You'll be gentle with her, yeah?

Yeah. I will.

Come on. I'll give you a lift.

I'm fine.

Will I see you again?

Why did you leave me?

Can you remember?

No.

But if we got back together
again, I probably would.

[chuckle]
