She loves it, it’s like a hobby for her. DINAH So you were. BOB Were you talking to me? DINAH No because I was listening to the other five cabbages talking shit. With an empty glass, on the only night I’ve had off in weeks. BOB Yeah and five times in the last month I’ve invited you round to mine, or me to yours and five times it’s, ‘can’t Bob, ah no Bob, won’t Bob.’ What’s that about ey? DINAH Pull up! Next junction! BOB Where we off? DINAH I’m going home. People who want to lie me this much are the ones fucking off Bob. BOB Seriously. DINAH Rather have a wank. RAKI I can radio another driver mate. DINAH No let him use his own minutes go on, break the bank Bob. drive. BOB Grow up. DINAH See Lurch? RAKI Being honest, I don’t want dragging into Fuzzy stuff ...

JONAH Dinah whose funeral was that for? TAZ Looks like recruitment for a Gay Fuzz Federation. SPIKE Mervyn Manley. TAZ Manley dead? SPIKE He’s dead! DINAH How? SPIKE How, yes. Ten points for the bright bird at the back, thanks for asking no one else has…just like this! JONAH Oy! Go finger yourself! SPIKE Straight under a stag do bus! His head came back in bottles! How long ‘ave we been after him? How long! CONNIE Dinah, Dinah, can I have your opinion on this woman in reception? DINAH Ah, Connie! I’m not your woman for earlybird crackheads. CONNIE Well she’s the only one of us that doesn’t smell of drink, and she’s making enough sense for them to think she’s serious. I could have offered this to anybody, she’s really credible sound information about an armed robbery. Would you like the air miles or not! DINAH Yeah, yeah. EVELYN PATTERSON I saw him on the telly, clear as a bell. Live paused. Poked it back a bit and there he was. Freeze frame. Him to a tee. Couldn’t not be him to a tee! DINAH And, Mrs Patterson, this is a kid you’d recognise from, locally, or..? EVELYN PATTERSON Mitchell, Mitchell. My grandson. Clearer than a bell. DINAH And have you any idea of Mitchell’s whereabouts right now? EVELYN PATTERSON Yeh, he’s at home watching Downton with his Frosties til his jeans dry for Scarborough so I’d get your skates on. SPIKE Sorry, s’cuse me madam, just give me two Iseconds please. Boss wants a word. I’ll shuffle this one through. EVELYN PATTERSON Ey! It’s not a dental appointment, I’m reporting a serious crime here! DINAH Word about what? SPIKE She didn’t look cute. DINAH Joy JOY Dinah, I can’t face it. This’s what I most hate myself for - being spakky at ‘taking it on the chin’ with bad news. DINAH Bad news - what? JOY Deering called me into her office... Oh Christ! I’ve just gone and used a tampon. DINAH Wow? JOY I’m not even on! DINAH Joy, calm down. She’s called me in, ‘an all. JOY Why?! DEERING You’re both through to the shortlist sargent. Congratulations. DEERING From nine opening candidates, that’s an unexpectedly big badge in my favour... DEERING ‘ Big day. Very big day. DINAH How many on the shortlist? DEERING Two. DEERING And - seriously - cheers, girls! The odds of that return were - 148,000-to-one. So you know what? DEERING Fuck Maclaren, fuck the googles, they couldn’t find a clit without a search engine. DEERING Hey, hey, HEY!! Detective Constable Freers... JOY Inspector Deering, I would like to formally withdraw from my application for the position of Sergeant on the grounds that... Dinah’s gonna walk it, we all know that! DEERING Prospective-Sergeant Joy Freers, pipe down this minute or I’ll deselect you personally and permanently. What have I just said? Two top notch officers under my wing, beat seven gormless prostates from all over the posh shop... If you think you cheated the odds getting this far, news for you, LadyFuzz - we all did. That understood? JOY Ma’am. Thank you. DEERING If ever she needed a couple of your mum’s doodahs, it’s now, eh? DINAH She’s had a pair already! DEERING No, Dinah, don’t get used to that smile, Dinah. Well done for getting this far, but it’s you that’ll be withdrawing. Secure the blinds and come and sit here – DEERING Nobody’s relishing this. We see CCTV FOOTAGE of the night MERVYN MANLEY died. DEERING That coat’s one of your Tina’s graduation pieces. Which I know, cos she offered to make me one for silly money. Otherwise, with the clarity of the footage, you could’ve been anybody. But now you’re not, are you, Dinah. You’ll withdraw on domestic grounds. DINAH Fine! I’m sorry I walked away, but I’d been drinking... Yeh, on the one night I’m allowed to. DEERING You ran a man under a bus. DINAH I did not he tripped. DEERING You fled. DINAH Walking away, I’m doing nothing wrong, he was wanted for murder! DEERING Amongst five others. DINAH Yeah, but the only one without an alibi. DEERING Do it in longhand. In the style of a personal letter to me. Use ‘Viv’ not ‘Inspector’. SPIKE Er, Ma’am there’s erm, and urgent police matter that requires your attention. DEERING They ready for me, Spike? SPIKE Indeed they, Ma’am. DEERING What took em. DEERING I’ll have to go via the loos. I’ve used the sprays the wrong way round, Spike. SPIKE Dinah, coming? DINAH Yeah. DEERING Thank you very much, I hadn’t a clue, not this time, I swear THIS TIME I HADN’T A CLUE . Ooh, thank you! MILLER We’re off down to Bailey Street Mortuary - something just in you WOULD NOT BELIEVE! No, Dinah love, your jack plug’s hanging, darlin’. MILLER Right stick yer thingies on lads, disco for this one I think. MILLER Little Chinese lady, yeh? Accident on the M56, yeh? Dog’s unsecured on the back seat but she, yeh, she’s opened a bag of Maltesers. And the Little Jack Russell, yeh, jumps up front for some of that, and BOOM - Little Chinese lady goes smack into the back of another vehicle - ambulance as it happens... MILLER ...So our 55 year old Miss Saigon... DINAH That’s Vietnam. MILLER ...Ends up with the entire head... the entire HEAD of the dog slammed right down her little face. DINAH You’re taking me to see that? MILLER I knew this’d cheer us both up. MILLER According to his pedigree stud record, the dog more or less paid for her house... Bernard darling, I know I said I’d let you take the punchline, here but Dinah means a lot to me and she just got shat on comically, so - d’you mind? According to her medical records she’s got has a history of gastric infections invoked by the ingestion of... Ta-da!... dog semen! MILLER Did Jacky Russell push... or was he jumped? DINAH Miller! MILLER What? MILLER Ooh what about it? DINAH She needs moving up the queue. There’s another Down’s girl missing. I saw a Misper report on Deering’s desk. Lads! You need to get me back to base. JOY Oh my God. SPIKE You got the job. JOY Oh my God. SPIKE It’s you. JOY How? DINAH Connie… DINAH Connie, there was a Downs Syndrome girl reported missing on Wednesday, Jocelyn Wade. CONNIE Yeah, and they found her at the chocolate fountain in Thornton’s didn’t they? MILLER In her dreams, Dinah thinks we’ve just seen her on a slab CONNIE Oh no! DINAH And this morning when I was in here with the Inspector there was a weird little flyer for a missing persons? CONNIE Yeah, the other Down’s girl… DINAH Where’s the report? CONNIE There wasn’t a report. When they opened reception first thing, that flyer was just stapled to the front door. MILLER It must’ve been put there last night cos it hasn’t rained since. Yeah I can get the lads to grade the image, but I think we’ll struggle with the last couple of digits. DINAH Jocelyn drowned. Just like Lucy Cooke in March. I need that file, too Connie, thanks. TEGAN You? JOY I know! TEGAN You?! DINAH Joy… DINAH This is between you and me so we know what were talking about. JOY You’ve just got a new boss and you’ve absolutely nothing to say about my promotion... DINAH Yeah, you’ll wish you weren’t so high up if this turns out to be our fault. Right, a girl disappeared about six months ago, Lucy Cooke. Where did we find the body? JOY The Down’s Syndrome girl? Accidental drowning. DINAH Where did the body show up? JOY River Irwell. South bank. Fallen into the river with a broken tibia, fibula. Explained why she didn’t make it back to the bank. Why? DINAH What if it wasn’t an accident… Who else worked the case? MITCHELL PATTERSON Nan?? MITCHELL PATTERSON My Nan? What’s she on about the barmy old bint! EVELYN PATTERSON Course, we know what he’s gonna say. He’s gonna say he was at my party. MITCHELL PATTERSON I was at her birthday party! EVELYN PATTERSON Oh yeah baby! No! I’ve checked tthey’ve checked. We’ve all checked the party video and he’s the only person not in it. SPIKE Oh sorry. Text from Dinah: ‘Ladies. Get here.’ MITCHELL PATTERSON Ask her who paid for the party. Ask who paid for the presents because none of the others couldn’t be arsed. And then ask the vicious old bitch who shot the video? Me! Nobody was coming til I said I’d cover the bar! DINAH How was Jocelyn Wade not filed as high priority? Her parents reported her missing on Wednesday. You two brought it in. STUART She was high priority. TEGAN Joy, you were the reporting officer. JOY Her parents called it off because... SPIKE Knock, knock, knock! SPIKE I thought this was just for me, little sneaky wank or summat! JOY Her parents called it off. DINAH And you let ‘em? Without visual confirmation? Jocelyn Wade we’re on about. She’s in the mortuary. JOY They didn’t want her wasting our time. SPIKE No, no she’d vanished two or three times before. This was her storming off after a ballistic row. JOY Her parents claimed it was never actually missing persons. SPIKE And she didn’t live with the parents. She was an electorally registered adult. She even had a husband. DINAH That’s two downs girls in the last six months. What if this girl’s his hat trick? SPIKE What you think they’re connected? SPIKE When did this girl go? DINAH Well, nobody’s filed a missing persons under that name. We need to start... DEERING He-llo! TEGAN Agh, Jeezus! She touches paperwork we’ve to read! JOY Right erm… SPIKE Obviously we need to know who posted this. JOY The lads are working on the phone number. DINAH Joy. I’ve got your back. You’ve got my heart. Let me start the talking with the boss, and you kick in when you can if she’ll let you get a word in, yeh? DEERING Prepare a sealed briefing room, please. DINAH The data we’ve been given on Cathy Calvert is patchy so the circumstances of her disappearance can’t be matched, but the first two girls Jocelyn Wade and Lucy Cooke - both turned up, drowned, within ten days of vanishing. JOY Which can’t not give us hope for Cathy Calvert, right? If that’s a pattern feature? DINAH She’s got to have been missing since last night and, we think, in grave danger... and we haven’t had– JONAH. Maam! VOICE A: “Oh hello, I’m just calling about the leaflet you posted - about Cathy Calvert?”... JONAH So, this call was using the last two numbers of seven and nine. JONAH Oh, hello, I was ringing about the missing persons flyer? ANXIOUS MALE Do you know where she is? JONAH You mean Cathy Calvert? ANXIOUS MALE Who’s this? JONAH Who’s this? ANXIOUS MALE You’re a copper, right? JONAH You know, it’s weird, I often get mistaken for one, but no, I work in Comet and I saw your... ANXIOUS MALE Yeh right, vanish. Comet went bust years back. Just find her. JONAH I re-dialled within two minutes, and the line was dead. Roaming VPN? DEERING Bring Jocelyn Wade’s parents in for aggressive questioning. She interviews. You assist. You’re taking me to Cathy Calvert’s family. And all we’re doing is responding to a potential missing persons report that could just as easily be a hoax or a Twatting incident. What do I mean? SPIKE Trolling, Ma’am. DEERING The only ‘patterns’ we’ll be discussing will relate to furnishings. Lucy Cooke - was the girl buried or cremated? JOY Buried DEERING Get an exhumation order. JONAH Go ahead Maam. DEERING I want all officers on leave recalling. If they pull in sickies, set their car alarms off, see how fast they can reach the pavement, then drag em’ in and get em’ up to date. DEERING Hello! Detective Inspector Deering with DC Kowolska. This’s taking the piss. DEERING I thought they were the other shoes. Oh hello. ‘S only us. And it were open! DEERING Oh deary, deary, nine-nine-nine. Little Ratty’s Last Supper. DINAH Are any of you Cathy? Is Cathy here? Thank you. DEERING When, where, and wearing what did anybody last see Cathy? DONNA CALVERT Who’s Cathy? DINAH She was reported missing? This address. Catherine Calvert?! DONNA CALVERT Oh, our Caff? Do they mean our Caff? DEERING Where are your parents? DONNA CALVERT They’re in...where is it… Not Del Monte, Alicante! DINAH Do they know she’s missing? DONNA CALVERT Who is? DINAH Cathy. DONNA CALVERT Since when? DONNA CALVERT Yeh, no, here we go! Mam and Dad’s wedding. Ha ha! Yes!! Yes!!! DEERING When were that taken? DONNA CALVERT Saturday before last... That’s why they’re on the honeymoon. DEERING Who’re they travelling with? DONNA CALVERT Uncle Buck and Beryl and her ex- kids. DEERING No, which airline? Which airline? DINAH Of... easyJet or Ryanair? DONNA CALVERT Oh, easyJet cos me Dad’s phobic about trumpets since Afghanistan. DONNA CALVERT Didn’t I used to cut your hair? DINAH Very well, actually. DEERING Oh mercy, fucking mercy, please! How’s this happened? She’s not a mong, she is not a m... DINAH Down’s! DEERING She’s not, though! This is you again… DEERING …speed bumps at 70! This is one fuck up I cannot bail you out of. DINAH Me! DEERING Yeah, it’s me that’s got to go up to Mclaren’s office and explain the shit out of this. DINAH Maam, we weren’t wrong. DEERING Her chromosomes say different. DINAH No, Catherine Calvert matching the same description was involved in an RTC we attended recently. DEERING Oh fucking hell! I wanted to see him on his own turf. You’re coming with me. DINAH Maam? DEERING With me! MACLAREN Stand these people down. DEERING It was a genuine error. DARREN MACLAREN When you raise the alarm for three in a row, three Down’s Syndrome girls in a row, which the press are repeating like parrots. All this shit was appropriate. You’re chasing a girl who is evidently not Downs, who hasn’t even been reported missing by her own family. This is nowhere near a three! DEERING It’s the same girl. DINAH A ‘Catherine Calvert’ was riding up front on a double-decker when it did an emergency stop. Her X-rays showed fractures on both of her cheekbones, a broken nose and extensive swelling. DEERING She vanished within a very narrow radius of the other two girls. DINAH If we made the mistake... DEERING …fair do’s, ‘cos look at her... DINAH …then so could he. DARREN MACLAREN NO! no. We’ve seen this before. Youre not doing this to me again Viv, you’ve got something wrong but you haven’t got the nerve to admit it so you’re letting your ego carry on regardless. It’s internment order, no, declaring marshal law, no, air surveillance, no. Stand these people down. DEERING Everyone to their first positions, spend as much as it takes. JOY What me? DEERING One of us has to and I’ve Obama to deal with. DEERING A hadn’t finished. MACLAREN Viv, woah, know when to give up. DEERING I asked for a private meeting in your office which you decided to have in fornt of my flock, making me unfounded delusions of my professional fuck ups infront of a junior officer, name one! MACLAREN Staniford case. DEERING What yer bringing that crap up for. MACLAREN Despite this pantomime, you need reminding your addressing a senior officer. DEERING Fuck off Darren, give us a minute cause this is serious. MACLAREN Viv… DEERING This is the same case Sir. If Cathy Calvert was Downs enough to convince a serial snatcher, then she’s Downs enough to deserve every penny we can chuck her way and I’ve a much longer version of that if your prostate’s can stand it! SPIKE This is Jocelyn Wade? Joy and Spike clock their every move. SPIKE We’re deeply sorry for your loss. MR WADE She’s gone, Mikey. Do you know what that means? MIKEY I understand, she’s dead. SPIKE Does Mikey understand that, as Jocelyn’s husband, we’ll need a pretty long conversation? MRS WADE Ask him. MIKEY Fine, I’ve got nothing to hide. Thank you. Mikey throws out hands as if for handcuffs. MRS WADE No, Mikey, they only want to talk, sweetheart. MR WADE Come on, let’s go. DEERING I’m going nowhere for a while, Laurie, I’m sorry. LAURIE Connie brought me up to speed. Deering’s rearranging her shoes. DEERING I’m not spoiling any surprises am I? LAURIE So when have I ever planned your birthday on yer birthday. If the heat dies down you’ll find me in the basement in whatever state. DEERING Well don’t expect me this si a real baddon, but if I do get back the lsoer the better. LAURIE I just came by for a quick battery charge, tied me over for a while. See yer later. SPIKE Mr. and Mrs. Wade, make yourselves comfy, sit where you want. When, in fact, Joy ‘commands’ them to seats. JOY And you’re happy to have this conversation recorded for your own benefit, are you? JOY Can you each tell me where you were on the day and time of Jocelyn’s disappearance? Can you also state clearly for the tape whether there were any internal family grievances or disputes between you and Jocelyn, and why that could have primed you to act grievously towards her - i.e. were either or were both of you involved in her disappearance or demise, in any way? SPIKE Except, we’ll be asking those questions separately, over a period of time... and in a fuller context. JOY Primarily, I would a big answer to - what your motivation was for withdrawing the missing persons report when, according to our sources, Jocelyn was never seen again by anyone else after the first day? Did she come home? MRS WADE No. JOY Did you see her at her home, in Northenden? MRS WADE No. JOY Who decided she was no longer a missing person? MR WADE That was me. MRS WADE Are we under suspicion? We see that Mrs. Wade is referring to a big, red-inked question mark over ‘PARENTS’ on Joy’s personal notes. SPIKE Oh God, no. These are, these are just questions. DINAH Can you give us your name for the tape? MIKEY Hey, Mikey. Michael Wade. Michael Taylor Wade. So your wrong I can sing. DINAH I’m sure you can Mikey. Can you tell me where you were the day Jocelyn disappeared? MIKEY I was in the Marchmont for two days... Nearly two days DINAH Marchmont’s what, a clinic? MIKEY It’s a hotel. MR WADE We only moved to Derbyshire because we thought Jocelyn had fallen in with a bad crowd. MRS WADE We’d no idea she was the ringleader. MR WADE By18 she’d earned enough from prostitution to get her own flat. Yes, we’re her legal parents, but we haven’t had control of Jocelyn... and it was the police who said it first... we haven’t had control of Jocelyn since she was... fifteen, sixteen? ? MRS WADE What about her 14th birthday? MRS WADE Broken nose, me. Collar bone, him. She’d pinned the social worker to the floor and peed on her face. MIKEY I was having sex. DINAH With who? MIKEY This was Gavin and Brenda. DINAH Um, these are people... they made you do things you didn’t want to do? MIKEY No, I got really good at it. MR WADE She made him do inhuman stuff... MRS WADE She didn’t make him! MR WADE No, Angela, the idea came from somebody’s head first, and it won’t have been Little Mikey’s, will it? MRS WADE No. DINAH Sex for money? MIKEY They didn’t pay Jocelyn, weren’t come back. DINAH Where did you meet all these people, Mikey? MIKEY Dogging. There’s loads Jocelyn knew loads DINAH She meant a lot to yer. MIKEY She’s everything. MIKEY Still everything. SPIKE Jocelyn Wade, she was a high functioning member of the commun... Well, she was a prostitute whose young husband also rented his arse out for all it was worth. DEERING Turned out to be more than you think from their Halifax accounts. DINAH And Lucy Cooke was the North Chester Rose Queen of 2008, ‘09, ‘10. JOY All three girls vanished or were last physically identified alive within roughly this area. DINAH Far as we know, Cathy Calvert shared no social contacts with the other two. She wasn’t a Down’s girl, so why would she? Except... she showed up somewhere within the guy’s catchment area with the same features. He made the same mistake we did. DEERING For somebody out there, folks, this is a big fat turn-on. Cathy Calvert only looked the way she did for a very short period of time. This fella moves like a dart, and so must we. Don’t go spunking the budget by dragging in the cross-eyed uncles and step- chaps. Concentrate on shops and addresses within sight of the bus stops close to the abduction sites were. Chop, chop! Oh and charm, charm, not coercion, we sure as shit haven’t time for warrants. RUTH Catherine... Calvert. Oh yes, I did her nose myself because we were so short-staffed. Three sutures to the bridge of her nose. The first was a walk-in. Second was 24 hours later. I booked her into the Fracture Clinic to get her packing changed. SPIKE Packing? RUTH Naso-septal dressings. Her orbital sinuses had collapsed, so we have to push, like, a roll of sterile underlay up there with Jackson forceps and... SPIKE Er, Yeh, no I get it right, fine! When was this? RUTH Er, Saturday, 3.30. SPIKE And she’d have been clear - when? RUTH The Fracture Clinic’s carnage at the best of times, but Saturday was Liverpool, v’s United so God knows when! SPIKE Dc Tanner to Dc Kowalska, come in. DINAH Spike? SPIKE Cathy came back to the hospital on the Saturday to the Fracture Clinic. DINAH Are you with Ruth? DINAH Are you with Ruth? DINAH Okay, Ruth, so if you’re traveling by bus, which’s the nearest stop to the Fracture Clinic? RUTH Belvedere Road, next to the flower stall. DINAH This is Cathy outside the hospital on her second visit. She’s trying to get home, but buses are packed so none of ‘em are stopping. SPIKE Yeah, now look, she’s given up on the bus, started thumbing a lift. Now you look for him. Wait for it... and there, there’s the white van stopping for Cathy. DINAH Look at the rear lights. SPIKE Nearside indicator’s on the way out. DEERING Freeze on the number plate. Yeah and bring it down. Smaller. What’re you squinting at? I could read it from Rhyl! DEERING I’m authorising force-wide observations on all channels… DEERING …for a white ford transit van, VRM: DV51 ABE. Driver to be apprehended on sight. SPIKE ...yeh, Ma’am, this guy picked up speed the second he saw us. DINAH It was a thirteen year old at the wheel of his grandad’s work van. Driving grandad. DEERING Come again? SPIKE The granddad was totally paralytic. SPIKE The kid’s strapped bricks to his feet and learned to drive between here and Wythenshawe, ... respect actually. DEERING Tune me in. JOY Yes Maam, based on where we’ve now found Jocelyn, we’ve narrowed down to where they could have been put in the water. We’re working with the assumption that he likes to keep the girls close to where he drowns them. That’s the main target for the CCTV. DEERING But the combined area is still way too big for manpower control. TEGAN Ma’am, we found this, it was on a scaffolding firm’s CCTV near Salford Bridge. STUART It’s about an hour after the time Cathy Calvert abducted, yeah. Watch the white van. STUART He must have switched plates, cause look at the near side light cluster. DEERING That’s him, that’s the fucker. JOY He comes off at the bridge then obviously taking a left. MILLER Both Lucy Cooke and Jocelyn Wade had traces of iron filings in their upper respiratory system. Right ... could you get other map back up? Sorry, if you please. MILLER Right, Lucy Cooke was found in the Irwell, here. Jocelyn Wade in this little river, or technically a ‘brook’. Now, if he’s turning a right, then were twiddling thumbs... because right of the bridge is all new developments for aluminium but, If we’re looking for iron filings... and he’s taken a left...? MILLER The only block around there that used to be but isn’t anymore, a foundry with heavy long term residues of iron filings in the riverbed. Right, and I know most of that cos my sister, she bought a flat two blocks down and all you see on a Sunday lunch is rats eating polystyrene cups and each other’s arses while you’re chewing your Linda McCartney. Right, so that, that is the most credible point of deposit into the river. This point, if whoever he is knows his docklands – and, yer know, it’s looking that way - is the only point where the current’s strong enough to transport a body downstream and pick up enough iron filing deposits on the way. DEERING I don’t care what they say. Sometimes, you’re really nearly worth every penny. DEERING Tell anybody downstream of here they’re wasting their time, repeat wasting their time. Bonded Warehouse 47120 on the left bank of the river, repeat left bank of the river. ARMED OFFICER Armed police, armed police, show yourself. … ARMED OFFICER Armed police, armed police, show yourself. … TATU 1 To the floor NOW. To the floor NOW or you’re not betting the choice. DEERING Hold. Your. Weapons! Heel! DEERING Where’s the girl? JOY Requesting general medical assistance. Will relay specifics according... WOMAN What are yer doing? Bog Off! DINAH Girl’s in there? DEERING But it’s 60 and breathing. With its leg open. DEERING Uncuff him, back off out, back off out! STUART Stop! Stop the vehicle now! DINAH Stuart! Get out… STUART Approach 625… JOY What are yer doing? DINAH He drowns them, he puts them in the water. STUART He’s jammed the pedal. JONAH Clean as a whistle Ma’am. DEERING Van didn’t travel far, he’s here somewhere. DINAH There! JOY Freers requesting urgent medical assistance and lights on the water. Dinah! JOY assistance …and lights on the water. JOY Dinah! JOY She’s in here! DEERING Call on air support. I want dogs in every direction, I want every inch of this scrub land searched. DINAH Oh my god. DEERING This one does not get away from us. DINAH Oh my god. Cathy! DINAH Oh thank God! Hello sweetheart, can you talk? I need yer to talk Cathy, can you say your name? No, no, no don’t fall asleep. I’m Dinah. Stay with me, stay with me…You’re alright. DEERING I wanna Know… DEERING How that man with the van, A, knew we were coming and B, managed to get past 16 vehicles, 7 dogs, and 2 dozen officers. SPIKE Limited CCTV on the docks, cause it’s still 60 percent derelict. DEERING Right listen carefully, Miss Freers will explain how the rest of this long night is gonna play out. Sarg… DEERING What you just said in the car. JOY A didn’t think you were listening, it was just ‘em, bit of conversation… DEERING Most of it was, till you predicted what Spike has just confirmed. We’re probably gonna get zero from CCTV, therefore… JOY Oh, er, therefore… just from search and arrest records, we know that the population down at the doc multiplies when the sun goes down so, I’d put us on foot Ma’am, target the vagrants, target the prostitutes because, this guy were after, he knows that landscape like the back of his hand and I’m not being funny but so do that lot, somebody must have seen him coming or going. DEERING See, a plan! Ok get some scram, then ready yer bones for the other side of midnight in Manchester. DEERING I’m never not listening. DINAH Ah, jeezus, Ruth! That’s going in like a damp proof course, I was only in the water for three minutes. RUTH Yes but people have been shitting out for centuries. DEERING You’ve made this a very ‘about face’ day for me…what are we supposed to mae of you. DINAH A wanna speak to Cathy as soon as the medics are done. RUTH She was asking for you earlier… DEERING Ditch that, no staff to go near the girl to after Doctor Peeps has finished psychiatric assessment. DEERING A didn’t hear that. Stick a bump in the head in her records to explain walkabouts. There’s a machine round the corner, buy her nice things. I’m nipping home for a shit, shave and a shampoo. You’re a star. DINAH How, are you, gorgeous? Remember me? Dinah. CATHY I know, I thought they said you weren’t allowed in. DINAH Um, I’m not but I had to see for myself, you’re alright. We’re flying your mum and dad back from Spain. There on their way. You’re looking great. CATHY They’ve taken the packing out, really painful, said it should have been changed four days ago. DINAH Cathy, you were seen climbing into a van outside the hospital. CATHY I can’t remember even leaving the hospital. I’m trying but nothing comes back. DINAH Your tox reports, show high levels of Rohypnol. It can mask areas of pain. Have you had pain in any other areas than you told the doctors? CATHY Did you get her to ask me that? What have a said…nothing hurts, nothing else hurts… RUTH It’s ok sweetheart, a good night’s sleep will make ev… CATHY Look I’m not going to sleep I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not. I’m not, I’m not No. DINAH I’ll come and see you first thing yeah? CATHY Please. SPIKE She’s fine Magda she’s been dried and sterilized. JONAH But I’d BBQ the clothes if I were you. MAGDA Single parents don’t take jobs that land them in hospital. DINAHS DAUGHTER Hospital, what for mum? DINAH There’s nothing wrong with me. what are you doing up?
