JOY Dinah’s going to walk it we all know that. SPIKE It’s you. TEGAN You! JOY Oh my God. DINAH That’s two Down’s girls drowned in six months. What if this is a hat trick? MCCLAREN You’re chasing a girl who is evidently not Downs. DEERING It’s the same girl. DINAH He puts them in the water. JOY ds Freers requesting urgent medical assistance and lights on the water. Dinah! DINAH Oh my god. DINAH There’s room for you at my house. Do we leave here together? TESSA How longs she gonna be staying? DINAH We’ll find out. TESSA How long did you say? DINAH Let’s see. TESSA See yer later Cathy, I get home at three, I’ll show you around. Bye Nanna. MAGDA Bye TESSA Tessa’s the mother I never asked for. MAGDA I’m starving in here. DINAH And me mum’s the kid I never deserved. Come on. MAGDA Here to wash our hands before breakfast, this one’s yours. DINAH We’ve got cereal, scrambled egg, we’ve got bacon... MAGDA Or have both. CATHY Can’t have both… MAGDA Have both! DINAH Have what you want. MAGDA She wants both. Have both! TESSA ..And the room’s ok? Slept ok? CATHY The rooms massive, I slept like a log thank you. DINAH S’cuse me, what are you doing? JOY Darren Maclaren’s taken over the Cathy Calvert Case. We’re not allowed near it any more. DINAH Is he for real! Why? DEERING Why d’you think! … because you moved Cathy Calvert into your spare room with trouble and contaminating any prosecution if the other side reckon we’ve a tainted witness! DINAH How can he? She wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for us. I couldn’t… no, I didn’t drag her out of the river just to put her in the system. DEERING Two for me two for you. DINAH Towels?? DEERING So we don’t have to use theirs. That spa your mum got me signed up to. DINAH Now? I’ve tons of work piling up... DEERING I’ve two vouchers. This is work. DEERING Are you determined to sabotage my career? DINAH Cathy Calvert needed protecting. DEERING There are agencies. DINAH Yeah right. DEERING Answer me this: If you hadn’t just lost your job to Joy Freers, would you have taken that child under your wing? DINAH Answer me this: Why, once you knew I’d walked away from Mervyn Manley’s accident... DEERING You chased a man under a bus! DINAH Who we know for a fact had stabbed at least two Muslim lads. DEERING If we’d known for a fact, he’d be in jail now, not tapioca.... DINAH Nobody else knows about that. DEERING Correct. Thanks to me. DEERING Are we sure they don’t speak English? DINAH My lesbian friend’s wondering if she could pay an extra £20 for a happy finish? MASSEUSE 1 Tell Brezhnev I’d rather choke on a pig’s cock. DINAH Calm down. She’s new to the scene. They’re allowed to ask! Nobody else knows about that. DEERING Joy deserves her position. DINAH She still calls it ‘going all th way’ and chews her nails. DEERING People do. DINAH False nails?! And if you got her on the cheap, Viv, thinking I’ll spend the rest of my career mopping up after her, you’ve another think coming. DEERING I love you whingeing about your future while your present’s going totally to shit! DINAH They’ve really hurt her, Viv. DEERING People do. We let the density of that remark rest on Deering’s face, and in our minds. But then - YELP! Deering just felt a hand go under her snatch. She leaps to her feet stark naked and in a split sec, she has MASSEUSE 2 pinned to the wall by her scrawny neck. DEERING Oh, so that’s your game, is it? For anyone on vouchers, you make your tips up by tampering? Well, here’s a big tip for you, Aeroflot: Wrong person, wrong place, wrong tree. Try it again, I’ll have you sex- trafficked by Albanians, you stick- thin creep. DINAH Viv, Viv, it was a joke. A happy finish… DUFFLECOATED GENTS About bloody time. TEGAN What’s up, couldn’t you fasten your buttons or something? CHUBBY 1 We’re meant to start a tournament at ten, and we’ve people coming from as far as Chorlton to Bury, haven’t we? STUART You okay, mate? STUART Can you tell me your name? Tell me your name? STUART Ah, jeezus! Echo 26511 to Control: Requesting urgent medical assistance. Corner of Earlsgate and Ripley Street. TEGAN You ok? Can you hear me? Tell me your name. CALL CENTRE 26511 ambulance is on its way. TEGAN Oh god he’s stopped breathing. DINAH Joy, I’m sorry this happened and I’ll do anything to put it right. But I’m not apologising for Cathy, not to anybody. I’d walk first. JOY That’s not happening on my watch. DINAH How can I work properly if I’m being ignored? JOY They’re not angry with you, they’re angry with... JOY They’re pissed off with Maclaren, the thieving lanky wanker. But you know what saddens me most? There’s not been a Tuesday or a Thursday since I turned 25 that I’ve not slept round your house. And I can’t do that anymore, can I? Not with Cathy as your new housemate. JOY And you won’t sleep round mine...? DINAH Not til you kill the cat. JOY Ma’am. JOY DEERING Maclaren wants one of us to go and give a full report to him and his team of e-twats. It won’t be me for this reason: I’d rather he had a go at you, to see what he’d say if I’m not in the room. You see? JOY Course. DEERING So get your shit together and get round there, and welcome to management! JOY Oh, you stupid cow, what have you done to us all!? DEERING No, you’re moving! Where you were before. JONAH To be honest, I wouldn’t mind a look myself. DEERING Well, one of us can’t... There! Don’t move. Don’t dare move. mcclaren’s looking at Jocelyn Wade’s client list. DEERING No! MILLER It’s only me, Ma’am. DEERING ‘Only’! MILLER Amber alert from the Poisons Unit, oh hello. Ma’am... Stuart and Tegan accompanied a sudden death to St. Michael’s. There’s chemicals on the street that shouldn’t be. MILLER Three more on this patch: Not dead yet, but not far off. DEERING What are we talking? MILLER Some Mephedrone-Ketamine reboot, with something new they can’t yet identify, Ma’am. DEERING Well, if they’ve mutated Mephedrone we’ll be cleaning middle-aged, middle-class shit off the streets til the next Olympics. MILLER Yeh, well the last ‘un was a 19 year old Economics student at Manchester. DEERING Take the address. Take Jonah with you to inform next of kin. CONNIE Hiya! CONNIE There’s window at the back of the old ladies’ toilets? You’d be able to see much better, although you’ve to unscrew the automatic bulb. CONNIE Is that the dead-on-arrival Stuart and Tegan just called in? MILLER Poor little sod, nearly all his organs had started liquefying... CONNIE Enough! his mother’s in reception now, trying to report him missing. MRS HYATT He’d gone out to score drugs. MRS HYATT The only time he ‘borrowed’ the car was while I was down the gym because I always had a drink after with the girls and got taxis home. He’d always put it back exactly where and how I’d left it, except the cab smelt of fresh weed. DINAH Just weed? MRS HYATT His father died a month ago. I know what I’ve needed to get through it, so God help him. DINAH We don’t think he was robbed, but we couldn’t find his phone. Mrs. Hyatt is pulling her son’s phone out of her pocket. MRS HYATT He’d left it behind. That’s why, that’s why I couldn’t find him. She sobs in Deering’s arms. Deering takes the phone and signals to two NSE OFFICERS to take over with the lady. DEERING Yeah, come on, let’s get you home Suzanne. I’ve spoken to your sister, she’s with your mum at your house. MRS HYATT How did you get Mum here from Worcester? DEERING I called in favours. MRS HYATT Thank you so much, thank you so much. DEERING Dc Kowolska will come back to get a full statement. I know it feels indecent, but we need the information now, yes? God bless you. DEERING Get the Intelligence lads off Spotify and onto this - I want a phone log cross-referencing urgently... DEERING So. The Downs killer case… Where’s Darren Maclaren leading us - back to Jocelyn Wade’s client list. JOY How do you know that? JOY Well, he thinks that is the most viable lead. DEERING Utter expensive bollocks! Her clients aren’t suspects, they’re just horny twisted freaks. We need to get inside Cathy Calvert’s head. Get her to talk. DINAH The minute she’s fit to speak, I’ll be the closest one listening, you have my word. DEERING Oh, do keep me posted, meanwhile there’s a guy out there killing Down Syndrome girls who’s not quite as patient as you. JONAH From Intelligence: The dead lad’s phone log led to this guy. We’ve got him in custody, his name’s Roy Proctor, he’s a postman. JONAH Not known to us, but recently acknowledged by locals as a casual supplier. Weed-only, usually. But in this case, he’d pilfered an unregistered parcel on his round that - bingo - contained non- specific capsules. DEERING Going to which address? JONAH Well, he’d burnt the packaging for his own benefit. DEERING Where was his round? JONAH I forget, but it’s not a toilet... The Richmond Folds area. DEERING Now why am I looking at Sandy Street... SPIKE See this is where we were asked to help on surveillance last November. JOY But we were all shouted down once they realised there were no explosives involved. DEERING But they were definitely manufacturing. SPIKE Yeh but just hydroponics, and shit. MILLER Hydroponics don’t cause that DEERING Okay. If they’ve upped their game, so will we. And they’ve caught me on a full moon, so they won’t know what’s hit ‘em. DINAH Is this you? Couldn’t it wait til people had eaten? JOY It needed to wait until I was ready. DINAH Sarge. JOY Oh, Ma’am, I think I’ve had an idea that just might get us back in the running on the Down’s Syndrome case. DEERING Oh yeh? JOY It’s a bit tricky but - it relates to Cathy Calvert... Given that Cathy’s not talking, and Dinah won’t even let us try... we need to think of new ideas for getting round the formality of... DEERING How much are you asking for? JOY Four hundred. DEERING Keep your idea to yourself. Spend five. DEERING 22 and 24 Sandy Street, two semis both bought in the last twelve months. But they’re not semis, there a drugs lab. We’re working on the theory they’ve scattered a test batch in the human field. Five people are already dead or dying because of it... I want that kitchen closed. Tonight. DEERING We could’ve done with a lot more preparation, but big tough titty. SPIKE S’cuse me. STUART Do we know what it is they’re making? MILLER We’ve just got young Luke Hyatt’s toxicology in. It’s looking like a transmutation of good-old 4- methylmethcathinone with... DEERING Suped-up M-Cat in other words. MILLER Which they’re a long way off, ‘cos this stuff’s only half-modified but still a neurotoxin that shuts down your immunity til er, well, till you drown in your own blood, basically. DEERING Joseph Raphael of number 22.Sounds foreign but he’s English as a muffin and by reputation a very nasty little prick. People who’ve messed with him, haven’t been seen since. DEERING Angelina Costeros from 24 Sandy Street. Two PhD’s in industrial chemistry. DEERING Her tax returns say that she’s a supply science teacher, you couldn’t get a bra in that joint for less than two hundred sods. DEERING This is 4:30pm, Angelina Costeros arrives back at Number 24, wait for it... DEERING Three minutes later - she’s at the upstairs window of Number 22 with her baps out. they’re not shagging... at all! So we know the two houses are connected, just don’t know how. MILLER Yeah, I’d like to introduce the ‘shit button’ installed in any drugs lab in the event of you lot bursting in unannounced, it’s ready to flush away at the push of a button, any imprisonable evidence; such that you’ll need at least some of, in court. and trust me, if the button de shit is deployed, then for the little evidence we’ll get, you might as well have done a couple of student flats on a Friday night. DEERING Sargent Freers. JOY One: volunteers for surveillance, those who are already familiar with the new equipment. Right. Er two: Tell your families you don’t know when you’ll be home. JONAH Can I tell Rosie it might be October? JOY Three... SPIKE Permission to show off, Ma’am? DEERING Spike. SPIKE Ok. Angelina Costeros and Joseph Raphael both worked for PharmaDansk at their UK laboratories in Kent. Now she was sacked for stealing Class-A psychoactive compounds and arrested by Kent Police. SPIKE … but Raphael was the one making the allegations on behalf of the company. Two months after that, he retires early on ‘grounds of mental debility’. A month after that, he’s drops the charges, and moves in with Costeros. DINAH He got her on the hook to get her off it? She doesn’t know he’s stitched her up… DINAH …he gets the funding for setting up a skank lab, and her science brains behind it. SPIKE Look, if we can isolate Costeros and offer her a deal, there’s a better chance of harvesting the evidence and getting maximum sentences. DEERING Hands up anybody here who thinks separating Costeros from Raphael is a dodgy move? DEERING Hands down. Hands up all those who’d refer to this level of risk as ‘sexy’? ANGELINA COSTEROS Ah, fuck off, I gave you two quid not half an hour ago. DEERING Angelina Costeros I’m arresting you on suspicion of... and we know from invoices why you’ve no small change, cos you paid ten grand a pop for these fellas... DEERING ...Arresting you on suspicion of the trafficking of drugs to and from British shores. You have the right to remain silent, etc... ANGELINA COSTEROS Fuck off… TEGAN How’s Jonah being up there less conspicuous than me? We could have a patrol car pulling up for indecent exposure! JONAH ... I’m trying to concentrate. DEERING The offences we arrested you for in public bear no relation to the charges you now face. As of last night, you are also accused of the murders of three young souls, two with families, one barely old enough to be starting his own. I can bring his mum back in if you’d like to speak to her personally, Angelina? ANGELINA COSTEROS That wasn’t me. JOY So tell us about the stolen chemicals, Angelina? If you were innocent, you’d have faced the charges... wouldn’t you? ANGELINA COSTEROS That was not me. JOY We know it wasn’t. DEERING How did you meet Joseph Raphael? DEERING He was your line manager at PharmaDansk. JOY And you know his signature is on the document accusing you of theft? JOY He framed you, flattened your reputation and dried up your income until you were so desperate, you’d accept any help on offer. Am I warm? ANGELINA COSTEROS What’s she on about? JOY We have talked directly with the CPS. In return for your co- operation in the successful prosecution of Joseph Raphael, we’ll back up your defence… ANGELINA COSTEROS …Sweetheart, the minute he knows I’ve turned evidence, I’m dead. JOY All we need is detailed intelligence of how the laboratory’s designed to vanish any evidence in the event of a raid. ANGELINA COSTEROS Could you noit send her out for kit kats or somethin’? JOY What firearms, if any, are on the premises; what the risks are for officers entering the premises. DEERING Subsequent to which, you’ll be addressed by the system as a victim, Angelina. ANGELINA COSTEROS Where were you trained, Curry’s? You’ve just given me the reason not to cooperate. You’ve just declared me a victim. Why should I lift a finger from here? DR PEEP Thanks for waiting. I’ve just sectioned three in about an hour... Do you smoke? DINAH While it’s still allowed. DINAH Cathy’s not saying anything but Deering’s getting impatient. DR PEEP I deeply admire what you’ve done for Cathy but I feel compelled to jump straight into manipulating your influence on the girl. So she’s refused sedatives or drugs of any description. I need her to think seriously about hypnosis. DR PEEP Just tell her to get on the web for young patients’ testimonies - especially for ptsd and especially for rape - you tell her from me that it’s the best form of treatment if she needs to stay in charge. DINAH So she was, was she? Actually raped? DR PEEP So naturally she’s going to ask you to chaperone her to the first session. DINAH Which, I would! I would in a heartbeat! DR PEEP No, you won’t you see, ‘cos she’s never had comfort blanket. Don’t give her any now. DR PEEP Do you think rape’s ambiguous when the girl didn’t uncross her legs for 48 hours after the incident? If you care about that girl, you bring her to me. The non- talkers tend not to last very long. DR PEEP I’m statistically successful with hypnosis because looking half their age accelerates the trust element. But my mother’s a cow and its ageing me, so there’s only a window, Dinah. Please. UNSEEN PATIENT Oy, you do realise this entire complex is meant to be non-smoking. DR PEEP Yeah and that’s a long stay window, so you should’ve learned to shut it by now. UNSEEN PATIENT Is that Dr. Peep? DR PEEP No, it’s not. JONAH Got a white Audi pulling up below me. It’s a corker. Worth more than the house! TAZ Plus: Brunette, fit, white, female, about 40. Very fit, actually. JONAH Audi, vrm: victor, alpha, lemur, three, kilo, echo. TEGAN Ay, and she’s got her own set of keys for 22. TEGAN If she’s got her own set of keys, she must be banging him. SPIKE Ok, here we go. SPIKE Okay, here we go... This is... Corrine Raphael, his ex-wife. TEGAN Right, she must be banging him! SPIKE Ok, get a picture of them together, do what you need to do right! TEGAN Jonah, toolkit. JOSEPH RAPHAEL Oy dickhead, what have you done! Fucking kidding me, what have you done? Look at the state of that? What have you done you useless prick? JOSEPH RAPHAEL What did you leave it there for? I’ll take your job away for this, you fat twat. JONAH I’m sorry mate it just fell down. JOSEPH RAPHAEL Look at that! CORRINE RAPHAEL Oh my… JONAH You can write to head office… JOSEPH RAPHAEL Fuckin’ idiot! JONAH Try and re-fund… JOSEPH RAPHAEL Get off. JONAH Takes about six to eight weeks… DINAH How’s Cathy, how you getting on? MAGDA She’s not sold the telly for crack yet…but I’m not taking a nap. DINAH I’ll call you back mum. Oh Sir. SPIKE Sir. Well what he expects from us all cartwheels! He’s got to let people sleep on it, yourself included. Meanwhile we’ve landed a little corker, just look at the footage and my notes and we’ll present it to Doubtfire together. Get you some nectar points back maybe… MAGDA …she can’t even look after the daughter she was given! And this one puts water on her Weetabix! MAGDA It’s just a cat, oh you’re shivering, come here sweetheart. DEERING The gobby jock’s right. I’ve just pissed on my own chips. She won’t budge. SPIKE Ma’am, check out these fellas. DEERING Belonging to? DINAH His ex-wife. And, according to previous surveillance footage, the car shows up often. SPIKE Nearly as often as Angelina goes shopping - Tuesdays/Thursdays. DEERING You go in to question her on this round. JOY I’ll lead with the terms of the offer and you’ll need to know what we’re offering... DEERING No. Dinah and Spike. DEERING None of that! You were shit hot in there, madam. DEERING It’s just that I’ve every reason to believe this situation calls for two gobby bitches and a cracking pair of nuts. In you go. ANGELINA COSTEROS Fuck off. I’m demanding a lawyer. DINAH Make your language meaningful, or fuck off yourself! SPIKE It’s a bloke thing, It’s a bloke thing, I can see how he can’t resist the real ones. D’you knowwhat I mean? ANGELINA COSTEROS What happened there? You’ve photoshopped that, let me see. ANGELINA COSTEROS Bastard! DINAH Whoa, missus! Now I want this noting for a claim, if... He’s been banging her since the day they divorced. Basically, whenever you were out shopping. SPIKE The Audi pulls up and they always end up diagonally in the other house... same bedroom you share with him. DINAH She’s laughing all the way to the bank, if the price of that motor’s anything to go by. Ahhhh, had he convinced you it was all about you and him and the money? ‘S not your money, sweetheart, it’s hers. SPIKE Hey, you want your reputation back, I need to know now. ANGELINA COSTEROS We did not put a test batch of substances out there. A snailmail parcel with tiny amounts of ingredients went missing. But we didn’t circulate this shit. Why would we? If it’s not commercially ready? ANGELINA COSTEROS There’s an evacuation valve in the basement. SPIKE We need it disabled. ANGELINA COSTEROS I can’t. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t be anywhere near there. This two- faced animal will kill me when he knows I’m... There’s an emergency remote by the front door. For obvious reasons! It triggers a signal for the system to totally self-flush. It’s really, really fast. SPIKE You’ll disable it. ANGELINA COSTEROS Impossible. DINAH Two PhD’s and you can’t take a battery out? DEERING Well done Spike getting you back ion the driving seat. What Spike exemplified, is top notch team work, you are part of that top notch team. There’s a lot of love for you Dinah, but what we all want most is the Cathy Calvert case back. So go home, spend some time with Cathy and get her ready to talk. Yeah? DINAH Cathy, tonight, your session with Bo Peep... Dr. Peep? DINAH You know why I’m not coming into the session with you? Okay, look - the way Peep said it is way better than anything I can come up with. If I’m in there holding your hand, as a copper, you won’t be able to get your sleeves rolled up. And that’s kind of what the sessions are for... I know - I’ve been through em’ myself. CATHY With Dr. Peep? DINAH I couldn’t afford Peep if I took a mortgage out..! CATHY Why did you need ‘sessions’? DINAH Two a week for three years to realise all I had to do was thump some bastard back. CATHY Tessa’s Dad? DINAH Mine. He left us years back, then moved back in once the house was paid off. He started knocking my mum about. Giving mum liver spots that got too big to fake. So I hoofed him down the stairs and out the door. Never seen him since. CATHY I bet Magda blames you for that? DINAH Very much so. And I very much don’t care. CATHY Bo Peep! That’s what you call her? SPIKE Knock-knock! DINAH It’s okay, it’s Spike. Two minutes, mate! We’re just doing the lippy. See you downstairs. SPIKE Ok. JOY I bought this for Cathy. From me, I know she lost hers. DINAH Joy, you didn’t have to do that... JOY And I know it’s too soon to come in, no one wants to intrude. DINAH This is what I think it is isn’t it. How many sets does it connect to? JOY Four. Including one for you. DINAH Spying on a child, Joy? You kidding? ‘Cos that’s the total opposite of what I’ve just promised her. JOY Well, that’s all good for you, Dinah, but while Maclaren is pointlessly raking in everything since Ian Brady, and you’re throwing your arms around Cathy like an aunty... DINAH Whose idea was it? JOY ...So nothing’s actually moving. And it really, badly needs to, or the guy who did that to all of them is going to walk. Alright? DINAH And if she knew about this, she can fuck off an all. I’ll start teaching. SPIKE Shut up Dinah, a sec! Yes, Ma’am.Yep, ready for battle. We’re on our way. Let’s go. DEERING About time. Everything sorted, yes? DEERING I’ve worked this out perfectly. I need tits and teeth up front, and so you’re going in first. DINAH I’m what? DEERING With Joy. TEGAN What? Her? But you said it was me! DEERING And learn your lines I want you word perfect. TEGAN “Cues, lines, performance?” Shouldn’t one of you two try mentioning consequences to her?... DINAH Wow! TEGAN Hey, I’m keeping this one. MILLER Ah, sorry ladies... MILLER ...I need to fit you with... recording equipment. JOY No, Stuart’s just done ours. MILLER With what? DEERING Where’s Tatu? I need Tatu. DEERING Girls, I’m guessing the honeymoon wasn’t Lapland?! TATU 1 Nevada. Shooting range for automatics. DEERING You know you’re my hand-picked front-line for this, don’t you? TATU 1 We were honoured when we saw that on the command sheet, Ma’am. DEERING I know a Baptism of Fire’s a bit arse about face as a wedding present... But don’t let me down, girls. TATU 2 Mmmmmmn. DEERING Ok listen up, when Joy and Dinah get to the to the door they’ll be met by Angeline Costeros. Costeros takes advantage of the camouflage to slip us the hand held remote to prevent anybody discharging the evidence, then, in we charge, and we don’t stop until that basement valve is disabled. We all clear? I want the best performance you’ve got. STUART You take care in there girls ey. JOY No, you’re alright. Make it twenty. STUART Sure that’s not taking advantage? STUART Cheers. Have a good night. DINAH We’re gonna have several in a row, I think, aren’t we? JOY Oh, you’re not Jasmine. DEERING Costeros has shown us her arse! Standby for premature positions. SPIKE We didn’t get the timing on the phone call right. Angelina’s not far behind him. She tried. DINAH Party? Jasmine’s party? RAPHAEL I wish it was! No, sorry. And I’m staying in with the wife and a movie. JOY Sorry to bother you. I’ve no signal. DINAH Can we use your landline to get the driver to turn around for us? RAPHAEL Sorry, we’ve no landline and no signal. We have to stand at the end of the garden. Sorry, night... DINAH Fuck me, ARGHH Jesus Christ! DINAH Oh my God, I can’t move the fingers. JOY We need towels! Where’s your bathroom? RAPHAEL Oh, fucking hell. Give me two secs to put the dogs away or they’ll go berserk. ANGELINA COSTEROS Come in, please. Oh my God. My husband’s phobi... He’s not being rude, just... ANGELINA COSTEROS Get towels, Raphi! RAPHAEL You know where they are. And you need to clear that up before... ANGELINA COSTEROS Shit. Into here. They’re shuttled into the nearest downstairs toilet. DINAH That’s my wedding finger and we’re three fuckin’ weeks away! I think I’m gonna faint. DINAH Get the remote off him! ANGELINA COSTEROS How? What if he catches me? JOY Figure it out. Just get it in my hands then leave the rest to us. DEERING Can you see anything? JOY Can’t tell. DINAH Ma’am, the eggs are in the basket. Repeat, eggs are in the basket. TATU 1 Armed police! Get your hands where we can see ‘em or we’re blowing your brains out! TATU 1 Subject 1 secured, Ma’am. DEERING Tatu, escort the prisoner in the ambulance for his own safety. TATU 1 Pleasure, Ma’am. DINAH Thanks TATU 1 Orders from high command. We STAY with the patient. FIRE CHIEF Everybody out, now. Now. FIRE CHIEF Quicker than that, mate. DEERING Stuart give me your coms. ID to control, request medical back up, yes an emergency! RUTH Detective, there’s no more staff to call out. Have you seen what they’re doing to each other in there, or there, or there? It’s not medical help we’re short of, it’s physical. SPIKE Alright I understand what you’re saying just give me a minute. Sorry. We’ve turned this place into a total fucking zoo. DEERING Where’s Tatu? SPIKE They were the most exposed, apart from the prisoner, he’s been ventilated, and on armed guard, so we’ll give him his day in court, Ma’am. DEERING The girls did us all proud. SPIKE I wouldn’t go in there, if I was you. DEERING They’re gonna be alright, aren’t they? SPIKE Yeh, but, the - whatever it’s turned out to be - it’s got people a bit twisted. SPIKE Have you ever seen ‘Two Girls, One Cup’, Ma’am? SPIKE Help the nurses pin that pair down, or it’ll have to be a dart gun. As the NSE OFFICERS speed towards Tatu’s room – DARREN MACLAREN Spike. SPIKE And watch your feet, it’s slippy. DARREN MACLAREN Well, that went well. Very well. DARREN MACLAREN Forensics are estimating a two million street value. TEGAN I should come back in the first vehicle with you, Ma’am. There’s reports to be filed, and shit. DARREN MACLAREN How soon do you think my team can interview Cathy Calvert? DEERING It’s not a question I can answer. You took the case away from me. DARREN MACLAREN We’re all on the same team, Viv. And you’ve nailed a good future for yourself with this. DEERING Not me. It’s Tatu that saved all our bacon, Sir. The tactical support girls. DEERING They truly deserve a few good words from the top. DARREN MACLAREN Pleasure. Where will I find ‘em? DEERING Second on the left., but if you’d excuse me... Carnage to account for, y’know. TEGAN Can’t get this frigging band off. TAZ No, no we’ll get some scissors, we’ll get some scissors. DINAH Hi...Ya! Taz They were involved in a raid that exposed them to... sunstances. MAGDA Like, what? TEGAN Well it’s not Ket cos Ket’s never done this to me before. CATHY Come and look at what we... TESSA She! ... what I’ve made for you. MAGDA She! ... what I’ve made for you. DINAH Oh, sweetheart. It was your session. I’m sorry, that’s not for public, I’m sorry, she’s... JOY She’s absolutely twatted, won’t remember a word. Go on… DINAH Oh darling that’s amazing. How was it ? CATHY It was absolutely superb. CATHY She says all these tiny things that you know, say massive stuff and I think she really liked me an all. DINAH Wow… DR PEEP What did you say to her? DINAH What happened? DR PEEP You did. I offered her the chance of a non-investigative session, as an induction into the process of clinical hypnosis, and she volunteered with her eyes and jabbered like a flightless bird. CATHY I’m going past loads of shelves with tins and boxes. DR PEEP And the cat’s still leading you? CATHY Taking me. DR PEEP Does the black cat have a collar? CATHY Massive collar. Big as its face, nearly. DR PEEP So you’re passing these shelves with tins and boxes and “mixed-up stuff”. CATHY Clever girl. DR PEEP Repeat that, please, Cathy. CATHY Clever girl. DR PEEP Clever girl for what? CATHY Clever girl! DR PEEP That sounds quite angry. Are you in pain at all at this point, Cathy? CATHY Everywhere hurts. I thought he’d broken everything. DR PEEP The cat’s probably something her imagination’s manufactured to soften her journey. DR PEEP From what I know of Cathy’s family, I can’t see pets hanging around can you? DARREN MACLAREN May I ask how such intimate material’s suitable for open forum? DR PEEP Against my better advice, Cathy Calvert gave consent for all future sessions to be shared as testimony for things she can’t repeat in person, on the one condition that Dinah listens to them first. DARREN MACLAREN A talking victim’s only brought us to a decent square one. DR PEEP Well she does of course goes on to talk about the rape detail. DEERING She’s allowed. I want every one of the rest of us... ...to be listening to every word that child has painfully donated. Not sentimentally. And don’t get bored of it, or I’ll kick your arses. One word in a hundred might just mean something to us. Even if it doesn’t to her, yet, bless her. DEERING We can’t do this without Dinah. DARREN MACLAREN Keep her name off the paperwork and pray they all still like her as much if and when a trial. You get the case back, just catch this bastard Viv. DEERING Does anybody know a decent road from the Trafford Centre? I missed you at the end of all that, and I need a wee anyway... As she invites herself up Dinah’s path to the house. DEERING I’ve even asked some old duffers from Bletchley but it’s never less than 25 from there to here or thereabouts, is it... DEERING Cathy!! Dinah described you very well. You’re a little fighter, aren’t you? And how lucky are we lot, knowing this lady, eh? CATHY I know! DEERING We all need to know how to be good at that - fighting back... so, happy reading. DEERING My dad bought me the first edition of that when I was twelve and, within a week, I had a bloke come up behind me - and I wasn’t a good eater in them days - and, wham! I caught him straight in the sprouts with a bunch of bike keys. Page 43. I still read it every year when I’m on holiday. And I’ve signed it for you. TESSA Shall we go and look at these upstairs? CATHY Thank you. DINAH You’re something else, you are. DEERING Me Mam always said it when she was struggling for adjectives. DINAH Thanks so much, Vivienne. DEERING Yeh, but one adjective one. DEERING One. Dinah searches her heart and brings up the first. DINAH Never. Not. Surprising. DEERING Bless you for that. See you the morn, bonnie lass. DR PEEP He’s missed his fix, so he’s agitated. TEGAN There’s a man out there who wants girls like you bobbing up and down in the river like apples. DINAH Won’t be easy hasn’t come out at his own wedding. TEGAN If you stopped frying Asian birds with petrol we wouldn’t have to would we. JOY We stumbled across your phone this morning, you might have miss placed it… JIMMY Why would we bother going after one Paki when there’s fifteen of them five doors down. JOY Shut your mouth!
