[Police sirens in distance]
[Helicopter circles overhead]
[Heavy breathing]
[Alarm clock rings]
[Silence]
[Police sirens in distance]
(Man's voice)
I'm sick of seeing you
sitting around watching that stupid TV
(Man's voice)
Get this room tidied up
and straighten that bed.
[Pained groans]
(Man's Voice)
Make sure you brush those teeth properly
I'll be checking that dirty mouth later.
[Tap running]
[Police sirens getting closer]
[Heavy panting]
[Silence]
[Police sirens in distance]
[Pained groaned]
[Silence]
[Phone ringing]
[Anxious moaning]
[Ringing stops]
[Anxious moaning]
[Police Sirens fading into distance]
Leave it.
[Panicked groaning]
(Man)
Christ almighty...
Bloody kid.
Erm.. At the table.
(Man)
Don't you dare go in there.
Don't you dare.
But I always sit on the sofa
and watch the film.
Well not anymore.
We're going to break those
habits of yours right now.
We sit at a table in this house.
My house, my rules.
But the doctor said routine
was good for her.
Did I ask your opinion?
Hey, don't you dare leave this
room with that plate.
The little bugger
(Man)
Oi. Get up you little madam.
Get up there. Im sick of you
defying me.
Get up in that bedroom now.
(Man)
Get up.
Get in there.
[Pounding on door]
(Female)
Daddy, let me out.
(Female)
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy, please let me out!
[Pounding on door continues]
(Female)
Daddy!
(Female)
Daddy!
I don't care what the so-called experts
say, I'm gonna force it out of her.
[Phone ringing]
[Anxious moaning]
Hello.
(Zoe)
Hi Mel, its Zoe Miles.
I'm just ringing to make sure that
you'll be in for our appointment today.
Where else would I be?
I don't go out.
(Zoe)
You never know.
It's a certain guarantee.
(Zoe)
So you'll be in at twelve?
I think I've just confirmed that.
(Zoe)
I rang ya earlier but there was no answer.
I know.
You didn't ring long enough.
(Zoe)
Oh well. As long as everything's okay.
(Zoe)
I'll see you later. Bye.
[Door opening]
You shouldn't wind him up.
I put a DVD on for ya downstairs.
(Female Voice on TV)
Bone idle waste of space
whose main hobby was getting locked
up every weekend.
All I ever wanted when I was
a little girl was to be normal
And to have a mother
and father who loved me.
Id have forgiven everything else
if you told me that
you loved me just once.
Was it too much to ask?
[Switches TV off]
[Police sirens passing]
[Police sirens getting closer]
Inside. Now.
Inside.
Lock the door.
What the f*ck are ya doing?
[Static]
[Scared moaning]
(Man)
Calm down.
Calm down.
[Moaning stops]
Who else is 'ere?
Move.
Move.
(Man)
For f*ck's sake, shut the f*ck up.
[Police sirens pass by]
Does anybody else live 'ere?
[Pained groans]
(Man)
I'm not gonna hurt ya.
I just need to stay here for a while.
Okay?
[Pained groans]
(Man)
Get me a drink.
I'd get up but my leg
hurts like hell.
[Pained groans]
Oh fuc-...
Stay where I can see ya.
[Groans]
Gimme it.
Give me it.
(Man)
No!
(Man)
Sit.
(Man)
What's ya name?
Do ya speak?
Just my luck.
Pick the house with a ret*rd.
Mel.
So you do speak.
Ah that's good.
At least we can communicate.
So, why are ya the only
one livin 'ere?
It's temporary.
The housing association will give me a one
bedroom flat when one becomes available.
That better be true.
Don't want mummy and daddy comin' home.
That's not gonna happen, is it?
Because if it does, we'll
be in some serious sh*t.
No
(Man)
No boyfriend
gonna come home and
play the hero?
Probably not.
(Man)
Oh, Jesus.
(Man)
What the f*ck?
[Metal clang]
It's the post.
[Heavy breathing]
Hey, come back where I can see ya.
Have you got any food? I'm starving.
Anything? I'm not fussy.
(Man)
And put the kettle on.
Melanie, will you stop doing that?
[Kettle boiling]
[Rustling plastic]
(Man)
What ya got there?
[Drawer closed]
Cheese.
That'll do.
Don't spread the butter too thick.
I hate when the butter's too thick
it makes me feel sick.
[Heavy breathing]
[Panicked moaning]
Twelve oclock appointment.
That was confirmed.
(Man)
What's that? Speak up.
(Man)
Can't hear ya.
Its nearly twelve oclock.
Yeah. Lunchtime.
Hurry up.
Give it 'ere.
We sit at the table to eat in this house,
if you don't mind.
What the f*ck?
Can ya not see Im in pain?
Just give me the damn food.
At the table please.
Look at me.
(Dad)
Look at me.
You're in my home.
Are you serious?
(Man)
Right.
Right.
I'm virtually a cr*pple
and you're making me do this?
[Strained groans]
Happy now?
My rules.
My rules.
Get it?
You start f*ck' with my rules
and there's gonna be trouble.
Are we clear?
[Anxious moaning]
It's after twelve.
The clocks are correct.
I set them myself.
Right.
Good to know.
[Anxious moaning]
Just how I like it.
Plenty of milk.
Not too hot.
You make a nice cuppa.
[Door knocking]
Whose that?
(Man) I thought ya said there
was no-one comin' around today.
Stay there.
Who is it?
Are you expecting anyone?
f*ck.
(Female Voice)
Sorry Im a bit late.
Theres been a robbery a few streets away.
The police have got the whole area
cordoned off.
I had to come the long way around.
f*ck.
Ah f*ck.
Ah f*ck.
You said twelve o'clock
that was the appointment.
Like I said, the police
had the road blocked.
It's not polite to be late.
You want me to apologise for the police?
No need.
So how are ya today?
(Man)
Get this room tidied up.
[Anxious moaning]
Sorry.
You okay Mel?
Okay. Yes.
(Zoe)
So, have you been out since my last visit?
You should try and get out, you never know.
You might meet someone.
(Zoe)
Would you like to have a friend?
(Mel)
I have 134 friends.
(Zoe)
What d'ya mean?
Online
a hundred and thirty four friends.
I can show ya if ya want.
No, no, it's okay. I believe ya.
But they're not really
ya friends, are they?
I mean, you've never met any of them.
You don't know them.
Maybe if you got out more,
you might meet a man.
[Nervous panting]
Would you like a boyfriend?
Do you have a boyfriend?
Not at the moment.
(Mel)
Maybe you should get yourself out.
Maybe you'll meet someone.
[Laughs to herself]
How about the driving lessons
I organised for ya?
Thatd give you more independence.
I stopped them.
(Mel)
I didn't like him.
But you were doing really well.
He shouted at me.
What happened?
(Mel)
He said I would break the ignition
if kept turning it
on and off on and off.
(Mel)
On and off.
But I explained to him
about ya condition.
He said it'd be okay.
How about we find you a female
driving instructor?
(Zoe)
Would that work?
One other thing.
Listen, something I need to tell you Mel.
(Zoe)
You need to prepare yourself.
Okay. Ready.
Your mothers made contact.
No. No. No!
No! Mmmmmm.
(Zoe)
Shes asked if youd be prepared to...
No! No!
NO!
NO!
No, no, no, no.
She just wants to see ya.
[Humming quietly]
Alright.
I'll tell her it's a no for now.
But have a think, yeah?
I know itll be difficult after
all this time
but she doesn't blame you.
- When am I gonna get me flat?
Have you been in touch with the
housing association?
I'll give him a call.
This is temporary.
(Mel)
This is too big for me.
(Zoe)
I know.
I'll handle it.
Is that your car outside?
Oh, yeah, it's new.
Well, one careful owner but
yeah, I got it Tuesday.
Why did you change it?
I like the other one.
How am I supposed to recognise ya
when ya arrive?
Sorry,
I should have mentioned it on the phone
but you'll get used to it.
I like the other one.
Well, people change cars all the time.
People change lots of things all the time.
People should make up their minds.
Routines are good,
but it's always good to break away
from the same old thing once in a while.
Otherwise you get bored, don't ya?
(Mel)
No.
(Zoe)
So youre doing ok yeah?
(Zoe)
You're coping?
Oh, I'll leave you to it.
But you've got my number,
so give me a call.
If you have any problems,
I'll help you with anything.
Think about what I said, OK?
Did anyone get hurt?
- What?
The reason why you were late.
(Zoe)
Oh, the robbery
erm, the radio said
that one mans been arrested
and that two got away.
but one's been shot, so not get very far.
Theyll catch them soon I bet.
Anyway, Ive got to go.
[Door opens]
(Man)
What the hell were you doing?
Who was that?
[Pained groans]
[Strained groans]
[Anxious moaning]
I asked you a question.
(Man)
I asked you a question.
Social worker.
She has a key in case of emergencies.
(Mel)
She would have come in, seen you,
(Mel)
and you would have gone to prison.
(Man)
Good thinking.
But no more surprises, understood?
Why didn't you tell her about me?
I mean...
Why didn't you tell her?
We had an appointment.
Had to keep the appointment.
It was confirmed.
Did you steal some money?
Oh, I didn't do anything.
It was Jez and Sam. They made me do it.
I was just the driver.
How did they make you do it?
I owed Jez a load of money.
He said I had to drive the car
to clear the debt.
And all of a sudden the
police came out of nowhere.
I couldn't get the car out
So I made a run for it.
It was Jez who shot me
when he saw me running.
I dunno how I made it out of there.
I didn't look back.
I don't know what happened to them.
One of them was arrested.
(Man)
Yeah, I heard.
Look, I'm not a bad man.
I just got involved with some bad men.
I'm really nice once you get to know me
honestly.
[Pained groans]
You should call a doctor.
I could call my doctor.
He's really good.
- No doctors!
I just need a bandage or something.
Have you got any bandages?
Youll have to do it.
Ah, sh*t.
I think it just went straight through.
Just tie a bandage round it
and try to stop the bleeding.
It needs bathing.
I'll get some water.
Just bandage it. It'll be okay.
I'll get some water.
[Terrified shrieks]
Just bandage it.
So how come you have a social worker?
I heard her saying ya
mother wants to see ya.
Is there a problem?
You got family problems?
You're not gonna tell me?
That's your choice.
You have gentle hands.
[Packs away items]
Go over to the window and have a
look outside.
See what's happening.
The police are knocking on the doors.
Come away from the window.
sh*t, they're next door.
When they knock
you be quiet. You understand?
Sit down. Make any noise, any
sound to attract their attention
and I won't be responsible
for what happens next.
Hey!
Are you listening?
I said sit down.
[Knock at door]
[Dramatic music rises]
It's not polite if I don't answer the door.
Sit down
and shut up.
[Muffled panting]
[Gasps in pain]
That was stupid.
I don't wanna hurt ya
but if you keep doing sh*t like that,
I will, do you understand?
Get up.
Sit down.
[Scared panting]
Theyre going further down the street.
[Whimpering]
[Rustling]
Put ya hands behind ya back.
Do it!
I need to touch ya, alright?
[Scared moaning]
Im sorry about this
but Im not going to prison.
It's just until I leave
and then I'll let you go.
I'm not gonna hurt ya, I wouldn't do that
But I cant have you warning anyone.
[Phone ringing]
[Phone ringing]
[Phone ringing]
Sam, is that you?
(Sam)
Who else would it be?
(Sam)
What the f*ck happened?
I dunno.
One minute everything was fine
then next the cops
were all over the estate.
They must have known we were coming.
How else would they
have been there so quick?
(Sam)
Someone's tipped them off
Like who?
(Sam)
Only three people knew about the job.
(Sam)
I didn't tell them
(Sam)
and it was Jezs plan
(Sam)
so why would he drop himself in it?
(Sam)
Just leaves just one person Rob.
(Sam)
Doesn't it?
I didn't. Why would I?
(Sam)
Because you owe Jez money dont ya?
(Sam)
If he was put away youd be off the hook.
I swear Sam, I didn't.
I've been shot, for f*ck's sake.
I've got a hole in my leg
the size of a golf ball.
I can't even walk.
(Sam)
Well if you didnt, who did?
Well, I don't know.
I didn't.
Mate, you have to believe me.
You believe me, don't ya?
Sam?
(Sam)
Where are ya?
Im hold up at some womans house.
The cops are all over the estate
I had nowhere else to go.
I'm stuck here.
(Sam)
What's the address? I'll pick you up.
It's fine.
I'll just lay low for a couple of hours.
And then we can meet up right?
(Sam)
You've got no car.
(Sam)
You can't even walk.
(Sam)
I'll pick you up.
(Sam)
Now, just give me the damn address.
Hold on.
What's the address?
[Gasping]
41 Hendon Valley Road.
(Sam)
Where's that?
On the Red Hill estate.

(Sam)
So just stay there.

(Sam)
A few hours.
(Sam)

(Sam)
Just stay there.
Just a few more hours

I need a lie down.
I didn't get much sleep last night
thinking about today.
Alright.
[Footsteps on stairs]
Which one?
Lie down.
[Pained groans]
[Scared moaning]
Why you've not got a boyfriend?
Girlfriend?
You're a nervous thing aren't ya?
Im not gonna do anything.
I wouldn't do that.
(Dad)
Your mother's going out later.
(Dad)
So it'll be just you and me.
[Door opening and closing]
[Clock ticking]
[Loud Clattering]
[Phone ringing]
Zoe.
Is that the social worker?
Where's Sam?
He should be here by now.
The police are still there.
Why are they there? Just go.
I need to go to the bathroom.
Ill just be a minute.
(Sam)
Hello?

(Sam)

(Rob)

It went to voice mail.
Why you doing this?

But shell call back wont she?
Yeah, she will.
But when she does

[Scared whimpering]
Sit down.
Whatre they hanging around for?
Wheres your radio?
I want to see if there's
anything on the news.
- I don't have one.
How do you turn the TV on?
It doesn't work.
What do you mean, it doesn't work?
I don't have a TV license.
I use it to watch DVDs.
What?
Who the f*ck does that?
I don't like TV.
I like to watch films.
Films?
What kind of films d'ya like?
Brief Encounter.
What the f*ck?
It's in black and white.
Its the greatest
romantic film of all time.
Digitally remastered.
sh*t.
What else you got?
They're in alphabetical order.
sh*t, youre a proper geek arent ya?
Das Boot?
Das Boat. It's German.
A graphic and gripping tale of
- More sh*t.
Gone with the Wind?
They're all soppy or foreign.
Do you actually like watching this stuff?
Do you not like...
Action films?

You know?
Car chases?
Action? Things like that?
Shall I tell ya what my favourite film is?
Football factory.
Ya heard of it?
Hooligans?
Fighting?
Danny Dyer? Nah?
Apparently not.
[Panting intensifies]
Do you really live here alone?
Where's your family?
You don't talk much do ya?
Are you shy or something?
It's nothing to be ashamed of you know.
I knew this girl in school.
She went bright red every
time you spoke to her.
It was embarrassing.
I was embarrassed for her.
There was this lad in my year
and every day for two years
he took the piss
and not once did she say anything.
Then one day
Him and his mates
dragged her into the toilets.
[Short scared moans]
I dunno what happened, but...
she never came back to school
after that.
I wanted to help.
there was just so many of them.
She hanged herself a few days later.
It's the worst memory I have.
Her name was Dawn Stubbs.
What a waste.
So I respect you, you know.
You dont have to speak to me
If you dont want to.
I understand.
The doctors call me autistic.
My daddy said...
there was nothing wrong with me.
I was just being awkward.
I'm sorry.
That explains a lot.
Look I wont hurt ya.
I wouldnt hurt a girl.
Let alone one whos
Why?
Why dont I hurt girls?
Because you dont do ya?
If a man hit you
would you hit him back?
Yeah.
If a woman hit you
would you hit her back?
No.
Why not?
Because she's a woman.
Oh, so thats alright?
Someone whos assaulted you
and its alright?
You should respond
the same
man or woman.
I get what you're saying, but
Its not right hitting women.
You hit me.
That was different.
Was it?
How?
This isn't an everyday situation.
I wouldnt hit a woman if I didnt have to.
You didn't have to hit me.
Look, I'm sorry.
Can we just draw a line under it?
I'll be gone soon.
We can both forget
any of this ever happened.
Forget that we ever met.
What's Sam gonna do when he gets here?
[Suspensful music]
We'll leave.
What's he gonna do to you?
What d'ya mean?
You said Jez shot you.
They obviously thought you set them up.
No, I told them what happened.
The police just came out of nowhere.
- And you think Sam is gonna believe that?
He's a violent man isnt he?
[Static Hisses]
What d'ya think he's gonna
do when he gets here?
'Cause he's not happy, is he?
He's just waiting for the police to go
and then he's coming for you.
He'll probably drive you somewhere secluded
and k*ll you.
k*ll you so you dont
drop him in it.
Don't be stupid.
That's what I'd do.
And I'm just a girl.
Imagine what hell do to you.
He probably taunt you first.
Make you tell the truth.
What do you think he'll use?
His fist? A hammer?
A knife?
(Rob)
Shut up!
Just let me think.
They've already shot you once.
If they've done it
once, they'll do it again.
These are not the type
of people you mess with.
[Static hisses]
Sam thinks you've set him up, doesnt he?
Doesn't matter what you tell him
He's not gonna believe you.
He's coming for you and when he does
Itll be over for you.
He's not the kind to listen to reason
and not think twice about hurting you.
(Rob)
No.
He wouldn't.
Hell listen. He has to.
Well...
you know him best.
But if I were you, I would just leave now.
While I had the chance,
I wouldn't take the risk.
(Rob)
Do ya think?
I dunno.
I cant leave, can I?
The police are outside.
- Wait till the coast is clear.
There's a bus stop at
the end of the street.
You'd be long gone before Sam gets here.
I'll tell him you left.
That you couldn't wait.
What time are the buses?
Every ten minutes.
Theyre going.
So what you waiting for?
[Mysterious music]
Okay.
I'm gonna untie ya.
I'm sorry about all of this.
I'm sorry for hitting ya.
Ill lock the back door
and Ill leave your phone on
the bin outside, alright?
Do you like me?
What?
I've never had a proper
boyfriend before and
I just thought
Do you like me?
Yeah, ya alright.
I mean
Yeah, you're alright
Do you wanna go upstairs?
Mel...
You're a really nice girl
I've gotta go.
I understand. Go.
I just get so lonely and...
I don't have any friends.
It's been a long time
since I was with a man.
[Door shut]
[Thud]
[Cup clatters in sink]
[Door clangs]
[Ominious music]
[Rumagaing items]
I was leaving, why?
Just couldn't resist.
Could you Rob?
You're all exactly
the same.
Think they can do whatever
they want.
What? It was you.
I'm sorry.
You asked me.
I didn't ask you.
Didnt say no though
did ya Rob?
Men like you think
they can do anything they like.
My daddy was the same
[Male Groaning]
[Bed creaking]
D'ya wanna know what I did to my daddy?
When he hurt me?
When he did what he wanted.
He went to bed.
They locked me up of course.
My mother denied he touched me.
The b*tch.
The b*tch!
I should have done her in as well
I should of.
She knew about it for four years.
For four years
and she did nothing. Nothing!
What kind of mother
does that to a little girl?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry Mel.
I didn't know.
[Choking sounds]
I'm sorry.
How does it feel to be powerless?
Just let me go.
I wont tell anyone.
I wont come back.
You have my word.
[Laughing hysterically]
Do ya think I'm gonna let you live?
No.
You're gonna die
on my kitchen floor today.
It's just a matter of when I say.
[Aggresive grunting]
[Static hissing]
[Choking]
[Violent coughing]
(Rob)
I'm sorry
Im sorry for everything.
I have a daughter.
I have a daughter.
Please, don't.
[Shushes]
Don't.
Don't be scared.
Don't be scared.
This is it now
Youre going to sleep...
Forever.
[Choking]
[Choking]
[gasping for air]
[Orgasmic moaning]
[Knock at door]
[Knocking continues]
Mel?
It's Zoe.
Can you come to the door please?
[Knocking continues]
[Keys jingle]
(Zoe)
Mel? I'm comin' in okay?
Mel, it's Zoe.
(Zoe)
Mel?
[Slamming lid]
(Zoe)
You okay? You there?
[Gasp]
Oh my God!
What happened?
He's dead.
Who is he Mel?
I had to do it.
He was gonna hurt me.
He wanted to take me upstairs and
(Zoe)
Come away, come away and sit down.
What was that man doing in your house?
He was one of the
post office robbers.
He wanted to hide here
until the coast was clear.
His friend had shot him in the leg
and he couldn't walk properly.
I made him a sandwich and a cup of tea.
I was really nice to him,
but he wasn't very nice to me.
You said you would help me
with anything.
I will Mel.
I'm gonna to call
the police right now.
No!
I'll help you talk to the police.
It'll be fine.
I don't wanna go back to that unit.
(Zoe)
You won't.
They will.
They'll send me back there
because of last time.
They'll never listen to you.
They only see what they wanna see.
They just wanna put the
blame on someone.
(Zoe)
But it was self-defense.
He tried to r*pe you
and he's wanted for armed robbery.
Theres no way theyd try to
blame you for it this time.
Trust me.
[Nervous panting]
(Zoe)
What're ya doing?
Come on Mel, this isnt helping.
We need to call the police.
You said you'd help me.
I will.
We can dig a hole in the woods
and we can bury him.
Don't be stupid Mel.
You said you'd help me.
Not like that.
If we got caught
wed both go to prison.
And theres no need to
get rid of the body.
You didnt do this on purpose, did ya?
Did ya?
[Bin lid opening]
[Rumaging in bin]
[Bin lid shut]
(Zoe)
I just got this phone last month Mel.
It's worth a lot of money.
Its got something sticky on it.
It was different to k*lling my daddy.
But the same.
(Zoe)
What?
What is this stuff?
(Mel)
I enjoyed it.
I got excited about
it before I k*lled him.
You don't get those
feelings anymore though.
But if you need to
speak a councillor again
I can arrange that.
Cause it would be wrong
to wanna k*ll someone.
Oh its coming off.
Thank God.
But I have to call
Whatre ya doing?
Give me the phone.
Look.
Mel, what're you doing?
This isnt one of your films.
You've been through an ordeal
it'll be alright.
You just need to put the
g*n down
and we can talk about what
we do
Phone!
Phone!
Alright.
Alright.
Now put the g*n down.
In the living room.
[Zoe cries]
[Sickening thud]
[Excited panting]
[Cable ties zipped]
[Blow landing]
[Zoe shrieks]
[Zoe shrieks]
[Crying]
(Zoe)
You won't get away with this.
Ill tell the police everything.
How will you do that?
When ya buried in a hole in the woods.
Please don't do this Mel.
Please.
Why?
Why are you doing this?
To watch you die of course.
You sick b*tch.
I was helping you get your life
back together after you got out.
I thought you liked me.
I do like ya
but I cant go outside and
k*ll someone can I?
I might get caught.
I am not going back to that unit.
This is the easiest way.
You wont go to the unit for this.
Youll go to prison.
You'll get life for this.
[Door opening]
Is there something you wanna
say before you go?
Go to Hell b*tch!
[Choking sounds]
[Coughing]
[Gasping for air]
[Coughing, crying]
Do you want a drink?
Its time to go Zoe.
Oh please
Im begging you, please
Dont!
[Rope straining]
[Static hissing]
[Static hissing]
[Panting slows down]
[Static hissing]
[Slap]
[Door knocking]
[Pats clothing]
[Keys jingle]
[Door handle bangs]
[Phone ringing]
[Hangs up]
(Mel)
Zoe.
Can I borrow ya car?
[Turns ignition off]
[Slams car door]
(Man)
I understand these things take time mate
but its been over three years
now and no further forward.
(Woman)
Will ya hurry up.
(Woman) Stop shouting.
Im walking as fast as I can.
(Woman)
We're gonna be late.
(Woman)
Always the same.
(Woman)
Never on time.
[Phone ringing]
[Anxious moaning]
[Dog barks in the distance]
[Panicked groans]
[Satisfied moan]
[Alarm clock rings]
[Running tap]
[Knock on door]
- Melanie Meadows?
- Yes?
DI Adam Lawson, Sunderland C.I.D.
This is DS Sharon Walls.
Can we have a word?
Did Zoe Miles visit
you yesterday, Miss Meadows?
Yes.
And what time was that?
She was supposed to be here
for twelve o'clock for our appointment
But she came at two minutes past twelve.
It's not very polite, is it?
I'm sure she had a good reason.
Erm, and how long did she stay?
What's happened to her?
We just want to get a picture
of her movements yesterday.
Is she in trouble?
She's missing.
She was your social worker, is that right?
Visiting you regularly, about once
a week since your
release from the
Durham secure unit.
(DS Walls)
What time did Zoe leave?
She was only here ten minutes.
Well, during that time
did you notice anything out
of the ordinary with her?
If you could be more specific,
I'm sure I can help.
Well, did she seem
preoccupied with anything?
Did she mention going to
meet anybody
or where she was going
later that day?
[Birds crying overhead]
[Aggravated straining]
[Car door opening]
(Mel)
She was keep checking the time.
I didn't think she'd wanted to be here.
I noticed that.
(DS Walls)
So why did she go back to your house
(DS Walls)
later that day?
(Mel)
She
(Mel)
She
I rang her.
So after her first visit she called
you at 2:05.
(DS Walls)
And then you called her six minutes later.
And then she called the office
to let them know.
Erm, thats routine.
The social workers call the office before
and after every home visit,
just in case anything happens.
So why did she come back to see you?
I was having a panic attack
No!
(Mel)
And she told me
Told me to ring her if I needed help.
So I rang her.
So that's why you called her?
That is a confirmation DS Walls.
(DS Walls)
So she called the office
at 2:11 to say that
she was going back to your house.
Does that sound about right?
That is a good approximation.
How long will this take?
- I normally watch a film about now.
- Not long.
So what time did she arrive?
(Mel)
Three o'Clock
(DS Walls)
And how long did she stay?
Thirty minutes.
So she left at three thirty?
(DI Lawson)
Well, did you say where she was going
after she left you? Or
mention going to meet anybody else?
(Mel)
She never discussed her cases with me.
That would be unprofessional.
And I wouldn't
want to know any of the people's problems.
Makes me anxious
to think about people's problems.
Its just, she never called in
after she left your house like she
was supposed to.
She didnt even show up
at her own home last night.
So you can see our predicament.
As far as we're aware,
you're the last person to see Zoe Miles.
[Coughing]
[Scared crying]
[Zoe cries out in the distance]
(Mel)
Is she dead? Have you found a body?
Why do you think she's dead Mel?
You've just said
I was the last person to see her.
What was I supposed to think?
Have you ever been to
Penshaw Woods?
[Static hissing]
(Mel)
Zoe, stop.
Let's talk about this
Come on.
We can go back to my house
and we can talk about it.
(Young Mel)
You promised youd help me.
I wont hurt ya, I promise.
It was all just misunderstanding.
(Mel)
I just panicked.
(Mel)
Zoe, please.
Zoe
Zoe
Zoe
Zoe!
[Panting]
[Frustrated screams]
Zoe
Zoe
Lets stop this now!
I don't wanna hurt ya.
I just wanna talk!
(Young Mel)
Zoe, please I need you.
Zoe!
I need you.
(Mel in distance)
Help me!
(Mel in distance)
Zoe
Zoe!
Zoe!
Zoe!
Please!
[Static hissing]
Where are ya?
Where are ya?
(Mel)
No.
I don't go out.
Well, have ya ever been there?
(DI Lawson)
In the early hours of this morning
A fire crew attended a burning car
just on the entrance road to the woods.
That car belonged to Zoe Miles.
Besides the car was
found one of her shoes.
(DI Lawson) It was later identified
by her mother as being hers.
(DI Lawson)
So Im going to ask you again miss Meadows.
(DI Lawson)
Have you ever been to Penshaw Woods?
[Pained struggles]
[Blows landing]
(DI Lawson)
Miss Meadows?
Miss Meadows?
No, I don't even know where that is.
Well do you mind if we take
a look around?
Don't you need a search warrant
for that, DI Lawson?
Well do we need to get a
search warrant?
I'm gonna check upstairs.
It's just routine.
[Anxious moaning]
[Anxious moaning intensifies]
Here.
(DS Walls)
Thank you, Melanie.
Mel. Only my mother called me Melanie.
Would you like a coffee?
I can put the kettle on.
It's a tasty brand.
Or a sandwich?
(DS Walls)
Ah, no thanks.
We wont be long.
Sit down, Miss Meadows.
(Mel)
Will he be touching my stuff?
He should have had a
search warrant.
That is what is required.
He's just looking.
(DI Lawson)
Whats through here?
Bathroom and cupboard.
Through here?
Dining room and kitchen leads
to yard.
[Music swells louder]
[Static hissing]
Why don't you just die?
You've just made it worse for yourself.
You've got no one else to blame
but yourself, Zoe.
So you cant complain.
Can you?
No complaints.
None at all.
[Car boot opening]
Well, thank you for your time.
(DI Lawson)
If you remember anything.
Anything. No matter how
inconsequential it may seem
(DI Lawson)
Please, give us a call.
(Mel)
Will I get another social worker?
Someone like Zoe.
I liked Zoe.
Youll have to ring the office.
(DS Walls)
We'll see ourselves out.
Somethings puzzling me.
If Miss Miles had been to see you
how come she called you?
What?
She calls you at 2:05. Why?
She wanted to tell me she was going to call
the Housing Association about my flat.
(Mel)
It's temporary.
The Housing Association will give
me a one bedroom flat
when one becomes available.
Oh well we may need to speak to you
again soon so well be in touch.
(Mel)
I'll be here.
I don't go anywhere.
[Door locking]
[Slamming bin lid]
(Girl on TV)
I just want my life back.
Why can't I have my life back?
Why can't we just be a normal family?
Do you know why I didn't have
friends when I was growing up?
Because I was ashamed of you.
Because I didn't want people
coming round to my house and seeing you.
I didn't want people
knowing what a total mess
my mother was
[Knocking at door]
(Mel)
Did you forget something?
Where is he?
Who?
He gave me this address yesterday
to pick him up.
Ive been calling his phone all night.
He's not answering.
I dunno who you mean.
The police were just here.
(Man)
Yeah
Theyve gone now.
You gonna let is in or what?
You're Sam.
Robs friend.
You better come in.
(Sam)
Where is he?
(Sam)
Rob?
(Sam)
Rob?
(Sam)
Rob?
[Evil music intensifies]
[Mel giggles]
