...started the day by winning the first
three frames.

52, 90 and 43.

Steve, give your mum a shout. I've just
put her stake on and you know she likes

it nearly raw.

Come on, Mum, you'd better hurry up if
you don't want to burn up, Frank.

Oh,

that's better.

Oh, I just want the doctor ordered after
a day like I've had.

Oh, that smells good, Dad. You think I
do?

Just you sit tight, love. Be ready to
jiffy.

Oh, Steve.

Hmm? If you want to spoil an old lady
rotten, would you, you know,

pet chick fingers?

Sure.

Oh, thank you, God. Down a bit lower.
Come on, to the left.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, you know, he would bottle it, but
he'd quit in.

All part of the service.

Guess what the late -night film is?
Don't surprise me. Now, Voyager.

Oh, it's been my lucky night.

Oh, I can have a good wallow.

Let's not ask for the moon when we
haven't done.

There you are, love. Oh, thanks, Dad.
Are you having any?

Us civilians eat at a more civilised
hour.

But I will stop and watch the film. I've
never seen it in colour.

I'm not surprised. It's a black and
white film.

Well, it'll look better in colour.

Oh, no.

I'll go.

Yes? Who wants her?

No, she can't. She's having her supper.

Do you know what time it is?

What won't it do till the morning?

Who is it, Dad?

It's Jake, and he says it's urgent. Hang
on.

Jake?

I'm sorry to bother you, but I thought
you ought to know.

There's been another attack.

Right, I'm on my way.

Maggie, Croft's on duty.

Look, you leave me to worry about that.
It's my case, whatever Croft says.

How's the girl?

They took her straight to the Middlesex.

Right.

You hold the fort. I'll be there as soon
as I can.

Right.

The other side of that red, so he can
pop the black.

Can it?

Snooker on the black, of course.

Mum?

Where's Genghis Khan?

He's in with the governor. My God, he
didn't waste my time. Now, hold on,

Maggie. There's something else on. I see
him questioning that poor girl.

You like treating a burn with caustic
soda.

Oh, come on, Maggie. Remember the first
girl when he found out she'd worked in a

massage parlour? What was his attitude?
That she probably asked for it. Now,

simmer down, Maggie.

You must admit it did look a bit... A
bit nothing.

Now, I don't care if she was the busiest
tom on the game. She had a right to

sell it or give it away with trading
stamps, but it's her choice.

Yes, sir, it's Maggie.

Can I have a word with you?

Yes, sir.

Five minutes.

Still. That gives me enough room.

Who's at the hospital?

Jean Evans.

Oh, good. Dr Ryder? Well, he left for
the hospital about half an hour ago. He

should be finished by now. Oh, no. I
want to talk to him.

Jimmy? Night off. Every day. I need him
here.

Who found her?

Miller and Stewart.

I want to see their report as soon as
possible.

Hello?

Is Jimmy there?

Well, can I speak to him?

No, his boss.

Where was she found?

A car park just off Shaftesbury Avenue.
Well, I want forensics hoovering every

inch of it and a scene of crimes made at
the hospital to pick up the girl's

clothes. Gotcha.

Jimmy?

No, no, look, I don't care who you've
got cooking. Just stick her on the back

burner and move it.

Meet me at the Middlesex in half an
hour.

Right, crops.

Now, the particulars of the other...
I've got them, Ma.

Go through them for me. Okay? Well, I'll
be long.

And you think he knows where we can lay
our hands on this Fry character?

Aye, but he may want the deal.

No, no way. They were shooters on the
job, didn't they? Well, if Fry's armed,

lads don't need guns.

They're standing by.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah.

You did say five minutes, sir.

Yeah, what's the problem?

Must be something special to get you
back here this time of night.

It's this rape case, sir. I want to deal
with it.

Who's arguing?

Well, I thought that Inspector Croft...
Well, you thought wrong, didn't you?

No, I was all for getting you in as soon
as the call came through.

Bob Brecken, you ought to get a good
night's kip, start fresh, first thing in

the morning.

Well, it'd be nice to be so concerned
about my health, but I'd like to talk to

the girl as soon as possible.

Off you go, then.

Right.

Now, then.

The call goes quick, Brendan Matthews.
Got to make one call, be right down.

OK. Don't forget where that glass slips,
will you?

Oh, Bob.

I'll get the car. Right.

Look, I'm sorry I got hold of the wrong
end of the stick in there. It's just

that this case is rather important to
me. No, that's okay.

I've got bigger fish to fry tonight.

Anyway, rape's not the end of the world.

Well, it is to the victim.

The alleged victim.

Oh, but for you.

Look, all I'm asking for is a name, age,
just something, anything.

I've already told you a statement will
be made to the press at the proper time.

Until then, on your way, Squire.

Did you manage to get past the desk,
anyway? My persuasive charms. Yeah, and

tenner when that failed.

How long's she been here?

On your bike.

And if your police quack's still in
there, it must be serious.

Maggie Forbes, the love of my life.
Maybe now I can get some cooperation.

I thought it was only undertakers that
went in for ambulance chasing. I might

have known you'd be first on the scene.
Oh, have a heart, Maggie. There's a

story here. That's my job. The public
have a... Oh, don't give me all that

about the public having a right to know.
They'll have to find something else to

drill over with their rice crispies. I
could lead the first edition.

Well, then that's a bit of bad you're
having, isn't it? To see our friend off

the frame, which is really... With
pleasure. All right, all right.

No hard feelings?

How did that dog get the window?

There's your chief. He's a good
reporter.

Perhaps he's got radar.

Hasn't Dr. Ryder finished?

My lifetime in Maggie.

How is she?

Very poorly.

Multiple contusions, a shock.

She's been badly knocked about.

You can see her, but only for a few
minutes.

And I don't need to tell you to go easy.
Yes, I will. I'm thinking of having a

thought, though.

Well, it's hard to say, but I won't hang
about.

Her name's Susan, by the way.

Thanks.

Susan? I'm Detective Inspector Forbes.

I need your help.

You need my help?

The man who attacked you.

I have to ask you some questions.

I don't want to talk about it or think
about it. Look, I know how you must

But it might help if you talk to
someone.

Do you?

Do you know how I feel?

Has anybody ever used you?

I know it's difficult for you.

They did a pretty good job.

You mean there was more than one?

No. Then what?

Do you know what they do when they know
you're a rape case?

Do you know what your police doctor did?
I know the forensic procedure, yes.

Forensic procedure.

That wraps it all up nicely, doesn't it?
It's necessary.

If we're to prove anything when we get
him to Colt. If you find him.

Now, the sooner you start to tell us,
the sooner we can get after him.

You take your time.

My name is Susan Ross.

I'm 20, and I'm an art student.

Three nights a week, I help out behind
the bar at the King's Head.

Go on, go on.

Well, it helps to eke out my grant, you
see.

Anyway, I usually tidy up after closing
time, but the boss is good. He never

makes me stay to the very end.

Well, I run an old banger, and I always
park it in the car park opposite the

pub.

If I'm very late, they leave the gate
open for me.

I leave my car over near the back wall.

Well, I just managed to get my keys out
when I heard this kind of scrunching

noise behind me, like on gravel.

Before I could turn round, he'd clapped
his arm round my throat.

I couldn't make a sound.

I struggled as much as I could, but then
I felt something sharp on my neck, and

I knew he had a knife.

And I was afraid.

I was so afraid.

Then he dragged me backwards.

It's silly.

My heels were scraping in the gravel,
and I remember thinking, they're my best

shoes.

Then he dragged me through a hole in the
back wall into a sort of tunnel.

Can you tell me what he looked like?

He wore a sort of hood.

Black. He was all in black.

He slapped a piece of sticking plaster
over my mouth.

He had it all ready. He seemed to have
everything planned.

I started to struggle again, but he was
too strong.

And he kept hitting me and hitting me.

It's all right. It's all right, baby.

And he made me lie down on my face.

And tied my hands up.

And then he... It's alright.

It's alright.

Can you go on?

Susan, I'm sorry to have to put you
through all this, but there are still a

more questions.

Did the man speak?

No.

That was another thing.

Not one word.

What sort of build was he?

Oh, I don't know.

He was very strong.

There's one last question.

I have to ask you this, Susan.

What exactly did the man do to you?

I have to know.

It's important, otherwise I wouldn't
ask.

I have to know all the details.

I'm making a few discreet inquiries on
my own account.

Oh, yeah?

What about?

How Trenton knew the girl was here.

And?

One of the porters tipped him off.

Well, poor sods are on coolly wages.
They can use the bridge.

Stay with her, Jean.

See if she wants to add anything to her
story.

Anything at all over trivialist terms.

Just talk to her.

Yes, ma 'am.

I'll, uh...

I'll see that Jenny Forrester will use
your lecture, OK? Thank you, Mum.

I think it's our friend again, the frog.

You mean he actually spoke again?

No,

he didn't speak.

He didn't speak? How do you know it's
him?

He used to say it by his tape, shall we?
Maybe like that.

All right, it's the same vlog.

Just because we bogged a bit of the
lingo out of that first girl.

Really French.

I mean, I took French O -levels. I can't
parley with the best of them.

It doesn't make me French, does it?

Yes, I should just tell you not, sir.

What did he say to the first one again?

Well, he mumbled a lot of things.

But all the girl could remember was at
the end, he said, Merci mille fois.

Thanks a lot, right? Right, you can see.

Oh, the newspapers blew it up.

Two attacks since then, not another
word.

So he's realised it's a dead giveaway
and decided to keep Sturm ever since.

Yeah, that's what I think.

Well, either he only speaks French or
else English with an accent. So he keeps

quiet. Talking of quiet, where is
everything?

Oh, I told you there's something big on.

Russell and Croft are going to pick up
Dave Fry.

Guns issue?

Apparently. Oh, good luck to them.

Jimmy, find that street map of the third
area and bring it in.

Jake, how do you and I go through these?

That's a Judy Carter file.

Oh, God.

That's the one?

Yeah, that's it.

All right.

You wanted my report?

Voila. Oh, thanks, Bill. Hey, grab a
chair.

I'm sorry, Maggie, I can't stand on
another corner. Look, hang on just one

second, OK? Look, what have we got so
far?

Three rapes, all by the same man, right?

Well, the rapes had the same physical
characteristics, that's for sure. You

examined all three girls?

Yes.

Right, same man and getting more violent
with each attack.

The first was when? Now, that's Valerie
Thorne, math third.

23. When was that exactly?

April 14th. Right, four months ago.

The next was Judith Carter, married to
small kids. Just over four and a half

weeks ago.

Judith and Ross.

They're getting closer together.

Is that you, Talbot?

Yes, I'm afraid it is.

Look, Maggie, I'm sorry. I really must
go.

All right. Thanks, anyway. Bye.

Bye, all. Good night.

Good night.

The married woman. It says here she just
left a pub in the area.

King's Head?

No, the Feathers. Sorry, Chief.

Well, where's that exactly?

Up in the Dean Street.

Oh.

Right. Now, we know that Susan Ross
worked part -time as a barmaid.

Wait a minute. I'm sure there must be
some connection.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Where's
that massage parlour?

Wardour Street.

It's just up the road from the King's
Head.

Oh, the thorn girl might have known it.

I want you to pay that pub a visit. I
know it.

It's owned by Tommy Hunter. That's
right. He bought it just after he quit

fight game.

Nice little pub.

Very popular with the Chinese.

Oh, I've had enough of the night. I was
left of it anyway.

Is that me and I can get back to you?

Yeah, I'm sorry to have dragged you in.
You've been a great help anyway.

All right.

See you bright and early.

Oh, yeah.

Now, sorry, pal, we're not open yet.

Another 20 minutes, I can serve you.

That's all right.

I've called to see the governor.

Is he about?

Well, he's out the back. Who shall I say
wants him? Well, just tell him it's

business, will you?

Oh, right. Why, sure.

Yeah.

And a score on the nose pen dragon, OK?

Yeah, tell me, we've got the law in.
What have you been up to?

Nothing. I'm as pure as the driven, you
know that?

Did they say what they want? No, not a
dick. Shall I try and get rid of them?

Don't be daft.

You want to see me?

Yes, Mr Hunter.

We'd like the word.

In private?

Yeah, sure.

Here, Fred, go and give him your land.

Now, what's it about?

Well, it's about Susan Ross.

Young Susan, yeah. What about her?

Well, she was attacked on her way home
from here last night.

My God, is she... No.

But she was sexually assaulted.

Oh, poor Cal.

When I get my hands on the bastard, I'll
do for him.

Where is she?

The Middlesex.

What can I do to help you?

I'll do anything.

Well, how many people have you got
working here?

Well, you don't think, is it? We don't
think anything, Mr Hunter.

We just want to know who works here and
how long they've been with you.

Well, you've already met Fred Jarvis.
He's my regular barman.

Then there's Edie, the cleaner.

Diane, my regular barmaid.

Sue used to come in to give her a hand.
She's suddenly called Emil.

Emil Turo, my cellarman.

Was he French?

No, he's from Belgium.

Well, how long has he been with you?
About six months.

Why? Well, can we have a word with him?

I suppose so. Now?

I'll fetch him.

Just tell me you want to see him.

Know what it's about.

Emil?

I met Tommy before.

Seems like a good one to me.

I was in uniform then. Crowd control.

When he tore that geezer in the seventh,
I had to cope with my first riot.

Oh, thanks, Tommy.

Sit down, sir.

We're police officers.

We'd like you to answer a few questions.

Well, if I can.

You know Susan Ross?

Of course. We work together.

And what time did you leave here last
night?

About half past one, why?

What's it like when the pub closes at
11?

There was much work to do. There always
is after a busy night.

And last night was a busy night? Of
course.

And then after, there was the show.

What show?

About once a month, the crowd and the
old pals from the boxing days come round

and we watch telly.

Video cassettes I've had done and the
old fights.

And we all stay as late to learn down
with the drinks and that.

And you sent Susan home before?

Of course I did. Who about this other
girl, Diane?

She has to get home to her old man.

But what is this?

What is it for Susan?

Susan was attacked last night.

And you think it was me?

Well, we're talking with a lot of
people, starting with the people she

with.

But Susan... She's a knife girl. That
didn't help her last night.

How do you reckon, Turo?

Seems straight enough.

Pick Susan's description.

Right height, weight.

We'll check in, see if he's got any
form.

Right, James.

Back to the office.

Here he's only in about ten minutes.

Who gave him this load of rubbish?

No one on my team, that's for sure.

He came slipping round the hospital last
night for a story and I sent him off

with a flea in his ear. He got nothing
from us.

Didn't stop him churning out his usual
sensational crap, did it? Look at this.

Police last night refused to name the
girl who is almost certainly the victim

the latest outrage perpetrated by the
monster known as the Frog.

As this young girl fights for her life
in a London hospital, the beast is free

to prowl the West End streets in his
insatiable quest for a new innocent

I give up.

How irresponsible can you get? What's
Trenton trying to do, start a panic? Go

bull and get work.

So, what you got?

I think we've established a link with a
pub called The King's Head.

Tommy Hunter's place?

You know it.

Doesn't everyone?

It's not going to be too pleased about
this little lot.

Well, it's early days yet, but I think
it might mean a stakeout.

The attacks are getting closer and
closer together. Now, I've got a feeling

there might be another one soon, and I
want us to be ready and waiting for him.

Several of the girls have volunteered to
act as a decoy.

You handpick them, right?

Fine.

I don't know, but there's something in
the back of my mind.

Something to do with the pattern of
these rapes.

Well, let me know when you intend to
make your first move. I'll give you all

backup I can.

After this lot, I shouldn't be surprised
that I don't have the governor

breathing down me neck.

Hello, Maggie, my love.

Have you got the blue -eyed boy with
you?

Who? Superman Croft.

I'm surprised you've got the gall to
show your face around here today after

rotten piece this morning.

Where did he get your so -called facts
from?

Ah, a good journalist never reveals his
sources.

If you must know, it was, uh, guesswork.

And if your guess had been wrong?

The story would still have sold coffee.

But it gets right, it seems.

Do we have to listen to any more of
this?

Now, on your way, Trenton, the lady
doesn't like you very much. Well,

Bob Croth would be more receptive.

Now is the celebrity.

Thanks for seeing me off, Bill.

Anything for you, Maggie.

You know, you shouldn't be in a dump
like this.

You should be at the column door in the
sun, sipping on a pair of teeth.

Idiot.

Did you read his piece this morning?

It's the latest junk.

Is that what the public really wants?

Pray tell.

Oh, depressing.

I mean, if a would -be rapist needs any
further titillation, all he's got to do

is turn to the popular press.

Oh, come on, Maggie, it's not as bad as
all that.

Thank you, little pig.

Thanks for coming in. Let me pick your
brains, anyway. Cheers.

Cheers.

Look, Maggie, uh...

Here's one of your trusty cohorts.

My ears, Bernie. I've been talking with
one of the blokes who found Susan,

Sergeant Stewart.

Anything?

It's all in their report.

Our forensics have drawn a blank on that
tunnel. Signs of a struggle, but

nothing in the way of clues.

You know, I've been thinking.

If our rapist doesn't work in the pub,
he's probably a regular customer, right?

A reasonable assumption.

Bill, what makes a man rape?

Well, lots of reasons. He may be the
kind of man who can only relate to women

superficially.

Sexually, he could be guilty and unsure
of himself.

So he can only make it anonymously with
a woman who is too afraid to be anything

but submissive.

Does he have a type?

Well, sometimes, yes. They may have a
type that tends to recur.

Maybe they have an ideal who's
unattainable, so they take anyone who

her.

You don't want to go into the murkier
depths of Freud.

You're not well, you're eating.

You've all heard the one about men
subconsciously looking for a woman who

reminds them of mum.

Or maybe they're hooked on a particular
kind of face.

Or even a hairstyle.

Valerie Thorne and Judy Carter.

Your theory about the type seems to fit.

They're very similar.

Could be just the hairdo, I suppose,
rather like mine.

So you've noticed it too?

Wait a minute.

That's it, I knew there was something.

Both these girls look like me.

Yeah, that's what P .C. Miller said.

What?

Well, you said when they found Susan, it
was uncanny. She was a dead ringer for

you.

Why haven't you told me this before?

Jimmy, don't try to protect me.

Well, is there anything else anyone has
tried to spare me?

What are you going to do?

I'm going to learn to pull a pint.

Are you sure you're not biting off more
than you can chew? I mean, how are you

going to lead the team and act as decoy?
I'm going to hand the coordination over

to Jake.

Jake's reliable enough. I've also got
Jimmy and half a dozen of the other lads

to back me up.

But why you?

I mean, didn't you say that several of
the other girls volunteered?

I've got the plan. I'm the best one to
carry it out.

I still think you're taking a chance.

Now, look, it's a pretty good bet that
the rapist is a regular customer.

I mean, how else would he have noticed
Susan Roth, known her movements, known

where she parked her car?

And I've checked.

Both the other victims used pubs in that
area.

Now, I've got a feeling we haven't got
much time.

He's getting more violent with each
attack.

All right.

Let me know when you hold your final
briefing, yes?

Right.

Aye, right.

Yeah. Will you give me a couple of
minutes, sir?

Yeah, OK.

Well, how's it going?

Oh, the alleged victim should be out of
hospital in a couple of weeks. Oh, look,

Maggie. I'm very busy. Here we go again.

I wasn't being patronising. Weren't you?

No, I asked because I wanted to know.

You mean you care?

Of course I care.

I wouldn't be in a job if I didn't care.

Oh, I know just how ugly rape can be.

I do my beat training in Glasgow and the
ground doesn't get any tougher than

that.

Listen.

I handled my first rape case when I was
20.

It was a kid, 15.

Said the chap next door had raped her.

Now, by the time we got round there, the
girl's three brothers had taken the law

into their own hands and gilded the poor
sod.

He hadn't laid a finger on her.

She was up the stick by her own father.

So, I have to be damn sure that there
has been a rape, but when I am... I'll

in hard, nail the bastard. Do you always
believe the girl is lying? Don't be so

bloody daft. Of course not. I thought
the Roscoe was a serious case right

enough, but you were so het up. I still
am.

Do you realise that in some areas the
cases of rape have increased by over 70

and that gang rape is on the increase? I
know, I know, but we're doing what we

can. Well, it's not enough.

I mean, even if we get the louts into
court, they sit there smirking, there's

shame, there's no remorse, and some
crummy defence lawyer taking the easy

out, trying to prove the girl is a flag.

As if all she's been through isn't
enough, she has to endure all that. She

raped a second time with a legal system.

Well, at least the legal system's one
thing you cannae blame me for.

Now, don't want her to twig, so be
discreet.

She thinks I've asked you to keep an eye
on her, she'll take it as a vote of no

confidence. No, it's not.

No, it's not.

Right.

Yeah.

Oh, hello, Tommy.

Yeah, how are you, love?

Uh, listen, uh...

I want you to do me a favour.

Oh, yeah.

You've been a good boy.

What is it?

I want to put a decoy in your place,
behind the bar, a woman detective.

Oh, yeah, I'm with you.

Yeah, there's just one thing.

Well, I'm thinking of trade. I don't
want some great bull dyke giving the

punters the hairy eyeball, putting them
off, you know what I mean?

What's she like?

Well, I've heard her described as a
pocket Venus.

Oh, well, yeah, I'll have some of that.
Send her over.

You'll put her in the picture, will you,
as regards the job?

I'll get Diane, my regular, to show her
the ropes. Just a question of prices and

how to water it down.

What do I pay her?

Well, what's the going rate?

You want a haggle?

No, too busy. Listen, keep this one
under your hat, will you?

And many thanks. Cheers.

Cheers.

Well, that's me ready at long last.
Sorry to have kept you waiting, Jake.

Steve, love, I've left your supper in
the oven, OK?

Right.

Granddad said he might be around later.

I'll try and cheer up a bit, eh?

Well, we must go. I don't want to miss
the beginning of the film. Oh, for God's

sake, Mum, will you stop it? Stop
pretending!

Do you really think I'm that thick?
Steve?

Jake, wait for me in the car, will you?
I'll be out in a minute, OK?

Right.

I was going to tell you after.

There might not be an after. Steve, it's
not as bad as all that.

It is. It bloody well is.

I know what case you're working on. I'll
read the papers and I'm not a dummy.

Why you? You're an inspector.

It has to be me, love. I have to be the
one to carry... But, Mum, it's horrible.

Yes, it is horrible.

And that's why I have to do the job.

Since I've worked on the force, I've
been involved in all sorts of cases.

Murders, baby bashes, GBH, the lot.

You know, I've seen things that nobody
ought to see.

But for me, rape is the worst.

You know, when a woman is raped, she has
been murdered in a way.

Part of her has been murdered, and yet
she's still alive.

Sometimes...

She'll never get over it.

Steve, what you said about it being
horrible, you sounded... You're not

of me, are you?

What can you say that? Of course not.
Remember when your dad died?

Do you remember I wanted to leave the
force then?

And I reasoned that if anything happened
to me... Do you remember what you said?

Yeah.

You told me not to use you as an excuse
to quit the job while I took you at your

word.

Yeah, well, that was then.

I suppose I never thought you'd have to
do anything quite like this.

This is all part of that job, love.

It's the worst part.

Look, I've got to go.

You just remember that all the lads will
be with me.

They'll be watching me every second. One
false move and they'll have him.

Okay?

Yeah.

Well, I expect you'll still be up when I
get back.

We'll talk about it some more, okay?

Steve, I'd be grateful if you didn't
mention this to Grandad.

Sure.

Mom?

I love you.

So we'll have men planted here, here and
here.

Jimmy will handle the car park. Roy and
Derek will keep up on the pub.

Ken, you'll be auxiliary backup in...
All right, all right. Let's get the

funnies over with first, shall we?

Well, if that little lot doesn't flush
him out, nothing will.

Mind you... What?

A good defence counsel could plead
incitement.

Thanks a lot.

Evening, Miss.

Hello.

Right up the back there, if you wouldn't
mind, Miss.

Thank you.

I'll keep the gate open for you, if you
like, Miss. Thanks.

I'm Maggie.

You must be Diane. Oh, hello, Maggie.
I'm sorry I'm late. That's all right. As

you can see, I'm not exactly rushed off
my feet.

Here, give us a coat.

Oh, you look a bit of all right. You're
going to have the punters eyes out like

chap -like pigs.

You're going to have to fart them off.

Thank you, sir.

Fred? Yes, love?

That man sitting in the corner over
there, the one that looks like he'd

off the road, what's with him?

Why, have I been giving you trouble? No.

I just don't have a look of him, that's
all.

Is he a regular?

Yeah, medium regular.

Yes, sir.

Tommy? Yeah? That man sitting over there
in the corner.

Who, Stringer?

Yeah, the man that didn't get attacked.

Hang about.

Yeah, he was.

Do you want me to sort him out? No,
don't you do anything.

Just leave it to my lads, OK?

Yeah, I told you that blouse would get
results.

What do you mean?

I've got brown eyes in the corner.

Oh, not bad.

Perhaps I've clicked.

Miss?

Yes, sir.

What can I get for you?

A scotch, please.

Double. And one for yourself.

Oh, that's very nice. Thank you, sir.

I'll have an orange juice.

What? Your new one, sir. Oh, that's
temporary.

But that'll be a pound exactly.

And what are you doing after closing
time?

Washing up a few glasses and picking up
my husband from his karate class.

Good night.

Good night, sir.

Miss.

Large Scott.

There must be all those years in the
room. You know, Maggie, don't hang

Shoot straight off home.

Oh, don't worry.

I will.

To my feet.

As long as you'll be all right. And
don't worry about the glasses, because

doesn't.

Good night.

Good night.

Would you like Emile to walk you to your
car?

Oh, no thanks, Tommy. I'll be all right.
Good night. I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night, Fred.

Good night.

I don't like to think of her going out
there on her own, Tommy.

She'll be all right.

A lot of you.

Right there on the spot, and he walked
straight through you.

Now, I know he came from the blind side,
and I know we were expecting something

else, but for God's sake, I think one of
you might have stumbled over him on

your way home. Yes, I know I'm being
unfair.

Well, I feel like being unfair.

I'm the one that's got to go in and face
Russell. What am I supposed to tell

him?

D .I. Forbes.

Thanks, Bill.

Best news I've had.

Thanks to you, Diane's going to be all
right.

That was Dr. Ryder.

She managed to scream and a uniformed
lad heard her.

He ran up just as the attacker ran off,
so she wasn't sexually assaulted.

She was still badly beaten up and you're
no further on. Well, at least we know

now for sure that our man is somehow
connected with that pub.

Oh, you're sure?

I think I may have a suspect.

Then pull him in. I've got a suspect in
that sense. I mean, I've got nothing to

go on. It's just one of the customers
who's... creepy.

Creepy. If you were a woman, you'd know
what I meant.

Look, I'd like to have just one more go.
There's time there'll be no flip -ups.

And, oh, yes, I'm taking Dr Ryder with
me.

At last, our first date. I'd love to
have a drink with you, Maggie. I thought

you'd never ask. Not with me, exactly.
I'll be busy behind the bar. You'll be

watching a man.

Oh, goody, that's just my idea of fun.

And I'm on call tomorrow night. Still,
why not?

Bill, he's odd.

You'll be watching him as a
psychologist.

Well, that's not my province, Maggie. If
you can give me any kind of

professional opinion, I'll find some
excuse to haul him in and roast him.

don't hope for too much. Rapists seldom
look the part.

How's Diane?

See for yourself. She's in your office.

I'll see you later.

Should have sussed you as Betty Blue.

Tommy never let on. Oh, don't blame him.
We asked him not to.

It's the truth. It's me trying not to
talk about Susan in case she was upset.

You're laughing at me.

I'm so sorry, Diane.

Don't upset yourself.

You're pure gold doing what you're
doing.

I hope you know the bastard.

Well, Susan says she hopes I don't.
What? Oh, no, I understand why.

If we get him, there'll be a trial.
She'll have to give evidence.

She lives in dread of having to tell all
those strange faces, all those terrible

things she had to tell me.

She's got good reasoning.

For me, it's the other way round.

What do you mean?

I won't be going back to the pub no
more.

My tip won't have it.

Do you know, when he came up the
hospital last night to fetch me, he

the state I was in, and all he wanted to
know was that the bloke, you know,

thought he didn't trust me no more.

Perhaps he feels guilty about not taking
better care of you.

Could be right.

Just have to be patient with him, won't
I?

Well, good luck.

Oh, well, I remember.

There was something about the bloke.

He was thin.

Some sort of aftershave?

I expect so.

Not a lemon.

Hello, Doctor.

Long time no see.

What can I get you? Hello, Tommy. I'll
wait for the little lady, if you don't

mind.

Special customer for you?

Yes, sir.

What'll it be?

Scotch and water, please. Right.

That'll be forty -two, please, sir.

Keep it off the bread.

Every time I think that perhaps one of
these punters is that git with Diana and

Susan, I just want to smash them. Well,
don't think about it, then.

Well, we're doing a bit of moonlighting,
then.

Keep your boy down.

I might have known you'd be sniffing
around.

What do you mean, sniffing around? I
often drink in here.

Nothing to do with last night's attack,
I suppose.

Oh, well, I wouldn't say that.

So where have the girls gone? Away from
swimmers like you. Oh, they're quite

kind now, Maggie.

Give us a hint.

You've got the poor girl in peace, can't
you? How many times do I have to tell

you? Move on.

I haven't got my drink yet. I've got a
perfect right. Keep quiet. You'll blow

Maggie's cover.

You know me.

Always happy to oblige the police. Come
on.

Trouble? Oh, no, that's enough. It'll be
fresh, that's all. Look, I can't handle

it. Where's the mule tonight?

Night off? Why?

Just haven't seen him, that's all.

Yes, sir.

Well, move it, you silly fella. Move it.

Oh, my Lord, did you see that?

Now, now.

You stupid... Oh, get us a cup of tea.

It's a game.

I'm not really watching it.

You've been fidgeting about all evening.

What's the matter with you?

Oh, you know, my exams and all that.

No, I don't know.

Your mum said when she went down to see
your teacher at the school that night

that he said you was very bright.

One of his best pupils.

Offside?

You prong.

Thanks, Maggie. I reckon you got got.

That's nothing. I'm terrified, but I'm
angry.

And that helps.

If you'd thought about what I said.

I usually hope, Tommy.

If our man notices anything unusual,
he'll be off like a shot.

I can't let you frighten a creep off
with a heavy mob. Just a thought.

I know you want to help, but you have to
leave it to us, right?

Nick.

Good night.

Good night, sir.

Thanks a lot. That's the best cottage
pie I've had in a dog's age.

What did you think of Mr. Stringer?

Could well be a man.

Something very off there.

Tell your boys to keep an eye on it.

Are you sure you don't want me to see
you home, Maggie?

No, that's all right, Finn. I've got to
go.

Oh, well, no harm in trying.

Good night.

And take care. I will.

Thanks again. Good night.

Yeah. That bloke was very chatty with
Maggie. Do you think he's all right?

Yeah, I know him. He's often in here.
Like you said, he's an old friend of

Oh, that's a relief. I tell you, I'm so
jumpy, you'd think it was me the rapist

was after.

Shouldn't think you're his type.

She'll be all right. Yeah?

That's what they said last night, and
look what happened to Diane.

Good night, Tommy. Good night, Fred.

Incidentally, Stringer aren't a porny
movie house.

He's home for the night.

I say.

Just drive out and make it natural.

Leave him there.

Sun is up.

She's turned the wrong way.

Keep driving.

Do as I say.

What if I just stopped the car and got
out now?

You'd never make it.

Slowly.

Inside.

Walk slowly.

done that, Maggie.

Now.

This isn't what I wanted.

If only you knew.

But now there's no other way.

You're quite finished, Inspector.

I did warn you about that outfit.
