All language subtitles for Without Motive s01e05 Decision Time

It's men that rape. It's men that
murder. It's not a woman doing these

Jack. It's a man!

It's coming to something, isn't it?

I'm hoping he's going to do it again.

I wasn't doing what she said I was doing
when... when it happened.

I wouldn't be inclined to go with him
myself.

Mr Jackson, I'll get somebody to drive
you home.

I knew we hadn't had the last of that!
What about me, then? Go on! Hit me,

Hit me! Go on!

What are we doing?

It's going well.

It's going very well.

From the door to door over Christmas and
New Year, we've managed to narrow it

down.

We've narrowed it down to males who we
need to speak to again who can't produce

a sound alibi.

We've got it down to, what, four to
five, six on the outside.

Six?

Yeah.

Thousand. Yeah, four to six thousand.

It's systematic.

It's a systematic trawl of every man in
the south -west of England and Wales who

has a criminal record and once owned a
blue car.

I thought... We all thought that was the
only way to go.

To take a close look at everyone.

Sure.

So, if you think about it, it's one hell
of an achievement.

And there hasn't been another killing
for, what, nine months?

No, not since Laura.

Laura Wedding?

Yeah, that was in August.

So... We've got to be doing something,
right?

Well, can I ask you something? I mean, I
am allowed to do that.

Of course.

But why me?

I really don't think you should
underestimate the degree of stress and

inquiry like this can put on someone.

And I'm here to provide a safe
environment where you can express some

feelings and concerns that, you know,
perhaps even amongst yourselves, but

certainly with your loved ones, I
imagine it's quite difficult to do.

I appreciate that, but, um...

I mean, who else had to do this?

I'm afraid I can't answer that question.

But it's not just me.

No. It's not just you.

I want to ask you about something you
said earlier when you mentioned Laura

Wadey. Are you aware that when you speak
of Laura Wadey, you only refer to her

as Laura?

That's her name, isn't it?

Yes.

I'm aware that when you speak of the
other women, you always give them their

full names.

Janine Wells, Iris Thorne. No, I don't.

But if I do, I mean, there's nothing
wrong in that. It doesn't mean anything.

I just wondered what it was that made
her different.

I don't accept that she is different.

My wife.

Sally.

She goes on about Laura Wadey when she
sees her on the television.

In what way?

She doesn't like it.

Why not?

The clip that they show.

You know, where she's in the garden, the
way she's dressed.

How is she dressed?

Haven't you seen it?

Yes, yes, I have. I just wondered what
you thought.

Sally thinks that she's being exploited.

That we've shown the clip so many times
we've turned her into some kind of sex

object.

And what do you think of that?

It's a tape her parents gave us to use.

To my mind, we're just bringing it to
the attention of the public.

But Sally finds it offensive.

It's not offensive to find a woman like
that attractive. What is offensive is to

want to murder her.

I just wonder if what Sally's saying is
that perhaps you're putting Laura Wadey

on a bit of a pedestal.

That's not what I'm saying at all.
You're putting words into my mouth.

Raincoat, ladies, 5 .14. Dry cleaning
tag pinned to the inside pocket.

One national coach ticket.

Five -pound super saver, single, Bristol
to Bellevue.

Purchased 4 .43 p .m., 23rd December
last.

How old was she?

Oh, 40, 45.

Be able to tell you more about the post
-mortem.

Sally? What are you doing at home?
Shouldn't you be at school?

Mum came and got me.

Mum?

She's in the kitchen.

Sal?

Sally?

What's going on?

What's she doing at home?

They rang for you.

There'd be another murder.

When was it?

About an hour ago.

Where were you?

I was in a meeting.

What about your mobile?

I couldn't stop.

DC Harris, please.

All right, well, put me through to Jim
Bolton, yeah?

OK, um, try WPC Walkinshaw.

It's Jack Marbury.

Marbury? Jack, what happened?

Well, where?

Well, where's Harris, then?

At the bus station.

All right.

No, no, I'm on my way.

Yeah, I know.

Bye. You okay?

I'm so afraid.

I've got to go in, Sally.

It's going on.

We'll talk about it tonight, yeah?

I've got to go.

Her name's Anne Colfax.

46 years old, unmarried, clerical
assistant.

She seems to have had some sort of, I
don't know, some sort of midlife crisis

shortly before Christmas.

Basically, she jacked her job in and
said she was going to find herself.

New start, sort of thing.

There's a letting agreement, which was
also found. Cottage down near Minehead.

That's obviously where she was going.

Never made it?

No. Must be a suitcase.

What seems to have happened, she's
bought a coach ticket at 4 .43, meaning

down there in the cottage by about eight
-ish.

That'd be about right.

So she's catching the five o 'clock.

That was the next coach out.

And? Cancelled.

Next one's not till 8 .45.

So we're assuming, perhaps, you know,
she went into the buffet, have a drink,

have a cigarette, whatever.

And you think he's picked her up there?

It's winter.

It's dark.

What would you do?

So assuming she's gone into this canteen
cafeteria, maybe she's got talking to

him there.

He's offered her a lift or... Doesn't
make any bloody sense.

What's the matter with her?

She goes into a buffet in a coach
station and starts talking to a man who

her a lift.

What does she think he's doing there,
offering people lifts?

People go into coach stations to get
onto coaches, not to offer lifts to

strangers. He might have said he just
dropped someone off or something.

It is early days, sir.

Early days?

And you come up with theories like that?
What's the matter with you? If she was

going away, she must have had a
suitcase.

That's what we should be looking for.

Yes, all right, Derek, we know about the
suitcase. Will you stop going on about

the bloody suitcase? Important.

And that's what you're going to say to
them in two minutes, is it?

Somewhere, there's a suitcase.

Look, sir, I know it's probably not
as...

All there as you'd want it to be, but
we've got to this point in just a couple

of hours, which is... Well, I mean, it's
self -evident something's

happened. What's happened is another
woman's been murdered and we didn't know

about it for five months.

Is that all we've got to say to them?

Right.

Let's do it.

Get it over with.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Who
was she? Is it true she was killed in

December? Where was the body discovered?
Was she right? Was she assaulted?

Isn't it time for another man in charge,
Mr. Stops?

She might have been in here for a cup of
tea and a sandwich or something.

Oh, yeah.

Look, I know it's a long time ago, but
it was the day before Christmas Eve. So

maybe that'll help.

Here, have a look at this.

That's a recent photograph, but she'd
have been wearing a beige mac. You know,

one of those quite posh ones with the
red and brown check lining. A well

-produced woman, quite classy.

Nope. Maybe with a suitcase or a holdall
or something like that.

Plenty of people coming here with
holdalls. They're travellers, aren't

in somewhere.

Who else were you working with that day?

Hello, Jack.

My colleague DC Mowbray, Mr Tucker.

Right. Well, you weren't working on your
own, though, were you?

I've seen the other one. It's all right.

Have you?

Simon doesn't remember any better than I
do.

Look, seriously, can you remember who
you met three months ago?

Oh, I can if I put my mind to it.

Give it something important, like a
murder inquiry.

What's the thing you're playing at? Eh?

You can't just come down here on your
own. I rang you.

I tried to, anyway. Where were you?

Didn't mind where I was. Just don't try
and cut me out of the loop. I got sent.

Okay, I mean, come on. It's not as if I
got anywhere, is it? Well, you're not

going to. You're not with a bloke like
him. Who?

Tucker. What do you mean?

He's hardly going to remember a woman
coming into his cafeteria, is he? Unless

it was Judy Garland.

Hey, hey, hey. Where's this coming from?

He's a potential witness.

Presumably, you've got the tapes from
the closed -circuit television.

23rd of December.

That's ridiculous.

Well, how long do you keep them for?

No, no, I'm not having a go at you
personally.

All right, we'll be in touch. No, no,
thank you.

Why? Six weeks ago.

What do you want to do?

Jay.

Jack. Oh, we'll leave it till later, eh?

Well, maybe this will build someone's
memory.

Yeah.

Hi, Sal, it's me.

Oh, you know, busy as usual.

I just wanted to make sure things were
OK, you know.

Frank? Yeah. Do you see how it is here?
Is Mike around?

I've got my crack on here. So what are
you up to?

No, that's OK.

All right, we're going.

Yeah, well, I'm... I'm going to be late
anyway.

Bye.

Useless, aren't they?

What are?

People.

They don't look.

They don't notice.

They don't care.

You're right for later.

Why wasn't she missed? If we'd have
known she was missed, we'd have been in

a chance.

If we'd have thought that she was
missing, we'd have got to the bus

We'd have got onto those closed circuit
tapes before they were wiped.

He must have been on them, Mum.

He must have been.

The question is, why?

Why what, Gov?

Well, it's a simple question, isn't it?
Why?

Why has he got away with it?

Chance?

Luck? That's not good enough. Why has he
had all the luck?

Why not us?

I mean, it's almost as if he's in league
with the devil, isn't it? I'm not

saying he is, of course he isn't.

It's almost as if he is, isn't it?

Why are we going backwards?

We're going backwards.

A bit of a cold attack, sir. Why?

Well, you used to be able to get through
this one.

It must be the next turning.

I'm sure it's the next one.

No, no, no, no, no.

Definitely a right.

It's the left one.

It's coming down this way, look.

Well, this is a turn -up.

Indeed.

Don't you say so?

A turn -up.

I mean, I thought last week we'd stopped
seeing each other.

Well, you weren't listening, were you?

What are you doing?

I'm doing your top.

So, wait a minute, we're seeing each
other again, are we?

What do you think this is?

This is you undoing my top. I want to
talk.

What for?

I'm not...

I'm not something that's on tap here
waiting for you to drop by.

All right.

Let's talk about it.

When we first started, I thought... I
don't know, I thought it was different.

I know you're unhappy at home and things
aren't right for you there, but I need

something out of this too.

I mean, to be honest...

I've been hurt.

And I really thought this was different.

I imagined us going out together
properly and doing the things normal

do.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is I
don't know where I stand with you

I mean, you say you want to finish it.

You've said it a few times and every
time you keep coming back.

No explanations, not even an apology.

I'm not saying I want one, I just...

Want to know where I stand.

Where we stand.

Are you finished?

Yeah.

Good.

Now come here.

Jack, what do you want?

I have sex with her.

That's all we do.

That's how it started.

But now she wants more.

More than I can give her.

I never said that I'd move in.

It's not that I'm going to leave my wife
and my kids. I mean, they're what's

important, aren't they?

You tell me.

Sorry? You tell me how important they
are.

They just are.

She's my wife, they're my kids.

I made a commitment to them.

Which is now looking a bit shaky.

She's changed.

It's this, it's the inquiry.

It's what it's done to all of us.

I'm not a policeman.

What's a policeman meant to do, eh?

Protect the innocent.

Punish wrongdoers.

Tell people the time when they ask for
it. And I've got a watch, but as for the

rest... Yeah, all right, but you're not
just a policeman, are you?

Oh, no, no, I'm a man as well.

Yeah, that doesn't rate very highly in
Sally's books right now.

And all that, all men are rapists,
bollocks.

And I should know.

I mean, I meet enough rapists.

When you interview someone like that,
you have to try to put yourselves inside

their head.

And, yeah, sure, I wondered.

I thought, can I see any part of myself
inside them?

The answer's no.

No, no, I can't.

Never have been able to.

What about now?

Do you mind? I don't want to talk about
this anymore.

OK.

Let's talk about being a policeman,
then.

What?

What made you decide to become a
policeman?

Does it have something to do with the
way you were brought up?

At home.

Well, I saw kids suffering when I was
young, so I decided to do something

it when I grew up. Is that it?

It's a possibility, isn't it?

Life isn't like that.

What is it like, then?

It's a hard, violent little boy who
lied, cheated, stole,

bullied anyone smaller than himself, who
beat another kid half to death because

he looked at him the wrong way.

And what turned him around?

The girl.

Sally.

You think I've got a problem?

Yeah, well, you're right, I probably
have.

I'm under a lot of stress at the moment,
like you said.

And it's not just the inquiry or the
fact that we're not getting anywhere,

me.

I'm ashamed of the way I've behaved
lately.

You know, with this other woman, the
WPC.

She's a lovely girl.

She doesn't deserve any of this.

You think you're using her?

It's the way that you feel.

And it's not just why you're doing it,
it's afterwards.

Especially afterwards.

You feel guilty?

It's more than guilt.

You hate her.

And you hate yourself even more.

It's like I'm turning into some kind of
animal.

I've tried to stop.

I've told myself, that's it, no more.

I can't.

I can't help thinking that's what it
must be like for him.

Seven police have this afternoon
released the name of the woman whose

After the discovery of another victim of
the M4 murderer... Detective Chief

Superintendent Henderson, leading the
inquiry, made another in what has become

string of appeals... I understand it's
some time since she was killed.

However,

we're optimistic that this re -enactment
will jog someone's memory.

And we're not entirely sure what...

style or make of suitcase she was
carrying. It may have been a hold -all.

just can't say. But what we can say is
that to the casual observer, it's

called...

Do

you

recognise this woman?

No.

And were you here on December 23rd? No,
sorry, I wasn't. Sorry.

Thank you.

Oh, sorry, no.

OK. Any luck? Yeah.

Jack, we had two all day, gov.

One thought we were market research, the
other one thought we were getting a

petition together.

Any luck with the suitcase?

No, nothing yet.

Doesn't look like it.

How's he doing?

Remains confident.

Delusional, then, isn't he? Oi!

You want to watch the attitude, Lynn?
She did mean that, didn't she?

She's just had a bad day, that's all. I
can speak for myself, thanks, Jack.

You think we're going to find him like
this, do you?

Because I don't.

Remains confident, my arse.

Well, no further forward than we were on
day one.

Oh, yeah, sure, we can roll out the
hardware.

Fingertip search, door to door, do as
many appeals as you like.

It's a circus.

And for who?

Who's it for, Jim?

Hunters? Public confidence?

Do you think anyone believes a word of
it anymore?

We're whistling in the dark.

The only way we're going to get this
bastard is if he slips up.

You know it, he knows it, we all know
it.

Get over yourself, Lynn.

Else get another job.

Careful, it's hot.

I do love you, Sally.

I mean, whatever's happened, whatever's
going to happen, I've always loved you.

And I always will.

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, I called earlier.

Go on.

Well,

when will he be here?

No, I don't mind holding.

Hello.

Hello.

There's some talk of a march, Gav.

Gav? March?

Women to St. Nick's.

Some sort of memorial thing.

Where's that come from? Division.

Oh, division.

Well, if Stocks thinks he's going to
second any of my boys to police it, I'll

straight in there. I'll tell you, I'll
tell him to stick that idea right back

his arse!

Where it came from in the first place.

You know, I used to think Stocks was all
right.

Last night he said to me, do you know
what he said? He said, I'm not being

proactive enough.

Stood there, bold as brass.

To my face, to me.

I'll ask her.

Thanks very much.

No, thank you.

I've been a troll of the car park by the
coach station.

I've got the figures if you want them.

Just put it in the tray, eh?

I also want my house keys.

Not here, Margaret, please.

I want my keys.

OK, I'll give them to you. All right,
then. I'm waiting.

I mean, haven't I been humiliated long
enough, eh?

You know what I'm talking about. You
know what I want, Margaret.

You know.

Margaret. But what was it all about
then, Jack, eh?

Just an itch you had to scratch, was it?
Eh?

Was it?

Have you got a minute?

For you, Jim.

Always.

Don't stand on ceremony.

No.

It's just that this is a bit of a
delicate one.

Look, you know what it's like on these
long hauls.

It's bound to happen.

Sparks will fly.

How do you mean?

In a word.

Fraternisation. Oh, please don't.

What a bellyful.

Will rear its lovely head.

Go on, who is it then?

Margaret Walkinshaw.

I suppose that's predictable.

And?

You're not going to like this.

Jack Mowbray.

Oh.

I see.

And you thought that was a good idea,
did you?

Telling me that?

Yes, I did.

So, something like that's a distraction
for the team.

One minute silly bollocks in the
incident room and people are talking

for two or three hours and not getting
on with what they're supposed to be

doing. True.

Leave it with me then, Jimmy.

Well, if you think that's right, I'm
sure you know what to do.

I think I do, yes.

I brought this to you so as not to
trouble Mr Henderson.

Of course, Jim, of course.

Obviously, I'm going to have to think
long and hard about something like this.

He's an old mate, after all.

You and me both.

What else was I supposed to do?

No, no, no, I appreciate it.

But listen, thanks for bringing it to me
anyway.

Was there anything else on Lee?

No. That was it.

All right, well, thanks. Thanks, Jim.

Here at the ground.

As ever.

Well, why come over to me like that this
afternoon?

I'm sorry.

What gave you the idea that I want to
give you the keys back? Well, what do

want now?

What? Another pointless shag.

It's what it's been like, Jack. That's
what it's been like for months.

You come and say, no, I can't see you
anymore, and then you round after it.

This afternoon I just thought to myself,
I can't take this anymore.

I'm not having it.

Just get the keys back and get him out
of your life.

Is that what you want?

It's what I wanted this afternoon, yeah?

I don't know what I want.

You think I do?

I haven't got... clue anymore.

Your job.

It's even got me going to...
Counselling?

To join the club?

I'm down to see someone next week.

No one's putting their hands up to it,
but virtually everyone's on it.

Apart from the few who really should be.

Look, you want to know the truth about
you and me?

I wanted to stop all of it, everything.

I keep telling myself, stupid, stupid
mistake.

It was, wasn't it?

Not for me, it wasn't.

Not for me either.

At first, I thought it was just about
sex, but it's not.

I care about you, Margaret. I actually
care about you.

If it were just about sex, it would be
easy.

I can't carry on treating you like this.

We can't do this anymore.

Five in the Kamchatka.

You're going to regret this.

Or Australia, mate.

I'm going to bed.

Watch me stuff them first.

No. No. I don't love a bloody game.

What was that?

Fox, it's probably gone, huh, then?

No. No, no, no, shut up.

Are you turning it down?

Were you bloody turning it down?

Get back.

What? I'll say anything.

Dad, come on!

I

didn't

say anything. Shut up, will you?

Look.

Look.

Incident room.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go on, control.

We've got something.

Yeah.

What's the location?

Slow down. Slow down, yeah.

Right.

Could probably be five minutes.

We've got another one, Gov.

Lancelot Estate, North Block.

She's alive.

We've got a few boot prints from the
scene.

No weapon, has he? No. We've opened up
the search as far as we can, which way

might have gone.

I found him. If he got rid of us, he'd
got rid of it. He'd been seen.

He's not going to run around that place
with that thing, whatever he is, still

in his hand.

Witnesses. Three that found him have
been a bit of drug use.

Stunned. A bit dozy. Make sure he
doesn't go any further. If we get him up

steps, his defence could have a field
day.

Right.

Oh, I was tired of them. A couple saw a
man running the other side of the estate

about three minutes afterwards, give or
take. Get a good look at him.

No, some sort of blues -on type thing.

Jeans. Younger man, then. Jeans would
suggest a younger man.

Possibly. No worries. We'll get the full
story from her. We'll just keep that

champagne on us a little bit longer.

You know, a theatre.

It's for you now.

OK.

Mr Paricelli.

You can see your wife now.

My colleague and I will take you.

I can't.

I can't.

Come on, Dad.

We've got to.

Please. Mum.

Please.

Morning, Ronnie.

Morning.

Sorry to get you out of bed, but I
thought you'd want to be here.

Important moment like this for the
inquiry.

Can you get me a cup of coffee, please?

How do you take it, sir? Black, no
sugar.

That's what I can do. Thank you.

They brought their top man in. Well,
woman, actually.

Specialist for the head injuries.

And what does she say? She's not come
down yet.

Some sort of post -op conflab.

So far, run us in the house, man.

And what does he say?

Well, what he says and what our girl is
going to say could be two completely

different things. But she has survived.

She's alive, Ronnie.

Also, we've got three very reliable
witnesses who were at the scene,

him, in fact, about his bloody business,
standing over the body with the murder

weapon. So he must have dumped it
somewhere in the vicinity.

So we'll have that, and then we'll have
DNA, everything.

Once we got her back, Mrs.

Tully, my Paracelli, whatever
description, face, maybe even a name.

Terrible thing for her, of course.

Terrible business altogether.

Every cloud, as they say.

Well, I'll have my man take you over if
you want to have a look.

Do you want to have a look?

Especially now. After you've finished
your coffee, of course.

Only I've...

Got a few things I ought to be doing,
sir.

Tell Jim Boulder if you want to go.

You've been with her, have you?

Not last night, no.

Don't worry, I'm not going to shout at
you.

It's too late for shouting.

She has suffered extreme trauma to the
skull with concomitant hemorrhaging and,

of course, a very high possibility, I'd
have to say probability, of brain

damage. Even if her injuries weren't so
extensive, the shock alone would be

likely to cause a severe memory loss.

It's likely to be many, many months,
perhaps even some years, before she

hope to recover her memory.

That's if she recovers at all.

She may not.

Ever.

I'm sorry, I've no better news for you.

You are the most senior person here.

Yeah.

Janine Wells.

Iris Thorpe.

Patricia Roberts.

Laura Wadey.

Anne Colfax.

Dawn Paraceli.

You wanted to see me, Gus?

Money, good.

Come in, sit down.

Couple of things. First off, psychic
advisor.

Sorry. I know what you're going to say.

Oh, you know, one of those, look what
happened to him. Here's the difference.

We get our own man or woman, whatever.

All right.

Tell you what, it's a lot to take in. I
know that.

Sleep on it.

Come for him in the morning.

Second.

Little bird.

Apparently, morale's been suffering
lately.

So, decision time.

Let's nip this in the bud straight away.

Mowbray, I want him out.

No, no, come on.

I know where you're getting that from,
Garfield.

I mean, with respect, I'm at the
coalface, OK?

Are you telling me I don't know my own
men? What goes on in my own incident

room? Who's in command?

I am. I am in command.

Yeah, yeah.

But I talk to them. I share their
worries on a daily basis, sending them

courses, on therapy, stress management.
Look, look, you can't make that kind of

investment, a personal investment in the
team, and then turn round and do this.

I can't. Are you telling me what I can
or can't do?

He's had question marks over him long
enough. Yeah, but gov, all right? What

I meant to do?

It only takes one phone call. Some smart
addict out there, bored, probably

frustrated, aren't we all, decides to
ring the papers, private eye.

What are all you policemen doing with
yourselves up there when these women are

being murdered? What are you doing not
with each other? This is out of

proportion. Is it?

You tell that to Ronnie Stocks when it
hits the Daily Express.

All right, but just let's hold our
horses.

Let's not throw the baby out. He's a
good officer.

I've got to ask myself why he's done
this in the first place. I haven't got

luxury to indulge in that sort of
question.

All right, but look, it takes two to
tango.

Let's not forget that.

Get rid of a woman. We can't do that.

I can't load the bloody gun for him.
They're already saying that we haven't

caught him because we haven't got enough
women on the team.

No more arguments.

Just get it done.

OK? No, let's leave it there.

I can't do that, sir.

I'm sorry, but you're making the wrong
decision.

I beg your pardon?

You can't do that to him. He's one of
the brightest blokes on the team. He's

given it everything.

I told you to go and do it. I just can't
do it.

I'm sorry, sir.

I've got to say this.

I've got grave misgivings about the way
this inquiry, this whole inquiry is

being handled. Have you?

I don't think we're giving these blokes,
or the women for that matter, enough

credit for having imagination.

Now, whatever you want to call it, we're
sitting on them.

You're, with respect, you're sitting on
them. Oh, am I?

Look, take Jack Mowbray.

Five months ago, he comes to us with a
solid, solid -ish lead. Did we give him

the attention he deserved? He's earned
by now, for God's sake.

I'm only asking, sir.

But seriously... Well, seriously is
right, isn't it, Monty? Seriously.

You're talking about that fool.

Bloody pantomime, that Jolson. Whatever
his name was, you're telling me I didn't

take him seriously? I went in there and
talked to him for an hour, with you. If

I... If I didn't take him seriously,
it's only on account he'd forgotten to

bring his tickling stick with him.

You want to make me a laughingstock?

Is that what you want?

Over my dead body?

It's not your dead body, though, is it,
sir?

Monty, sack him.

Or join him.

Up to you.

Lynn, have you seen Margaret?

No, not today. On inquiries, I think.

Well, if you see her, will you tell her
I wanted a word?

Jack, I've left this alone. It's none of
my business. But, um, do your own dirty

work.

It's all right. You're not getting
involved.

Just give her the message, please.

Jack, quick word.

Yes, Scuff.

That was on my way to see you.

Take the feet, Lord.

So what was it?

No, no, you first.

I want you to take me off the inquiry.

I've thought about it, and I don't think
I've let anything slip, you know,

professionally.

But more and more lately, I know that
there's a strong possibility of

like that happening.

And I don't want to do anything that
might damage this investigation.

Finding this bloke means more to me than
anything.

But what I'm trying to say is, well, it
would be wrong of me to

stay on the inquiry past the point where
I was no longer being of any use to it.

So I'm asking you as a colleague and as
a friend to

stand me down.

Is it home?

No.

No, no, it's me.

You probably know I've been having an
affair with Margaret Walkinshaw.

Sally knows.

I don't know how, but she does.

It's the investigation.

I'm not doing it any good anymore.

I need to get off it.

Who knows?

I might be able to save my marriage.

Jack. I don't think I'm letting anyone
down. Now, come on, listen.

Forget about the inquiry.

It's what happens to you I care about.

It's all right.

No, it's not.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. What's happening to us,
Jack?

I mean, good blokes, you know, good
blokes.

Something's wrong somewhere.

Yeah, there's something wrong.

It's me, it's you, it's all of us. We're
not up to this investigation.

And we're killing ourselves trying to
prove that we are.

Take some leave.

A couple of weeks, compassionate. Take
however long you want.

No.

I need to get back to normal duties.

Best for everyone.

Whatever you want.

I'll make sure he looked after.

Jack, you know, if there's anything I
can... I'll call you.

If you're firing me, at least be man
enough to take the responsibility.

Have you come back?

I don't know.

We've made an arrest this afternoon.

I've nothing else to say.

It's all made up, mate. If you can't
convince me, it's all right.

It's going to be a whole lot harder for
you when I start asking you questions

about the other women that I think
you've had in your car.

Make it in, Jack.

What if he...
