Original subtitles

MAN: His pressures are dropping.

Let's keep that fluid going in, please.

He's losing his output.

Can we have two more units of O-neg?

Keep that fluid going. Keep it going.

Right. It's coming up now.

This is where you went at him?

Yeah. This camera covers the main hospital car park.

Can we stop CPR, please?

No output.

I think we should stop. Does everyone agree?

Yeah. Thank you very much, everybody.

[Air hissing]

YOUNG MAN: Mate, he went down!

One shot... out of it!

Did you see his face? [ Imitates gasping ]

And he was down.

Back to the nick.

[Siren wailing]

Shit!

Fuck!

Oh, no!

[ Tires screeching ]

Come on, come on.

Check Penny's house. Call her parents.

Oh, yeah.

I want two armed response units as soon as possible.

Yes, of course, I understand the implications.

Don't need to tell you Bill Otley was a good copper.

Curtis Flynn.

He's 20 years old.

A shooting like this is a whole new league for him.

He's volatile, and we can assume he's extremely dangerous.

As far as we know, he's still armed.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

I just want to get things started.

Okay, let's have a look at the hospital's CCTV.

TENNISON: Curtis approached me in the hospital car park.

He was very aggressive.

Produced a gun when I went to arrest him.

He was distracted by the arrival of Penny.

Penny Philips is a 14-year-old girl.

She's a friend of Sallie Sturdy's.

This was just before Bill arrived.

Bill challenged Curtis.

And that's when Curtis shot him.

Okay, I'll take a look at that, Danny.

And do we know if Curtis is the father of Sallie Sturdy's baby?

No, we haven't got a DNA crossmatch yet.

But it's expected at any moment.

Curtis is armed and dangerous.

And there is a real possibility of him taking Penny hostage.

Now, is Penny a witness or an accessory?

I believe Penny Philips may have saved my life.

[ Groans softly]

Come on! Come on!

What are you doing? I'm going home!

No way! Not out of this!

They'll track this!

Come on, man!

Who's this man Penny's with?

He's a young career criminal. Wanted for murder.

- His name's Curtis Flynn. - Curtis Flynn.

He's an ex-pupil of mine.

SIMMS: Shot a man dead last night.

Penny was with him during the shooting.

Penny?

I know Curtis.

Did she call you?

- Has Penny got a mobile phone? - Yeah.

PENNY: Hey, it's Penny.

SEAN: It's straight on to voice mail.

Ow!

- [ Banging ] - Come on! Come on!

This is serious!

Curtis, what's the matter?

Just shut up! Close the door!

My sister.

[Groaning softly]

Destiny, go back to bed.

Destiny!

She ain't mine. That's my niece.

All right, guys, this care home we're going into

is full of girls, so tread carefully.

Good luck.

[ Indistinct shouting]

[ Screaming ]

Lester! Lester!

Get him!

What are you doing?!

LESTER: Get off of me! Get off!

What drainpipe has he crawled up, Lester?

Are you crazy or what?

Where is he, Lester? Where is he now?

I don't know! Get off!

It's no use. I'm gonna look for her.

I'm not waiting here.

Sir, you've been asked to stay.

[Sobbing ]

[Siren wails]

Here you go.

I don't like that...

You're lucky you're getting any! Stupid girl!

Curtis, I've got a cash card. I can get you some money.

They're looking for you.

Just shut up!

Shut your mouth. [ Breathing heavily]

Need a drink.

Where's the drink?!

[Whimpering]

Bitch!

That“ [ Groans]

[Grunts]

Curtis, please, let us out.

They're gonna try and kill me!

Those pigs are gonna try and kill me!

[ Indistinct shouting]

Get off me!

Where is he? Huh?

I don't know!

Penny!

Penny!

Pen! Penny!

Penny.

[Sobbing ]

Shh, shh, shh.

Curtis is at his sister's, isn't he?

How did you know?

I remember from school. He stayed there a lot.

What do you make of that lot, then?

Gov? Gov?

What do we do now?

Oh, just give me a moment, would you?

SIMMS: Okay, okay.

[Sighs]

CURTIS: She gonna tell the police!

That, bitch! I know she's gonna tell 'em!

Fuckin' pigs!

- They'll have guns! - Let 'em bring their guns!

No!

Aah!

Do as you're told! Just do as you're told!

Aah!

[Pounding]

So, what about known associates?

No, we've been through them all.

Well, go through them again.

I mean, their known haunts, if not Curtis'.

Governor?

Penny.

Oh, Penny, thank God you're all right.

[ Sobbing ] It's just happened too fast!

And Curtis... I tried to stop...

Where is he? Where did you leave him?

Took me to his flat.

Where is it? Do you know where it is?

Where is it?

It's his sister's flat. She lives on the Brackford Estate.

- What's her name? - Vanessa Flynn.

She tried to look after Curtis when the mother died.

What number is it?

I'm sorry, I...

I'll need to speak to Penny later, okay?

His sister's there.

Hmm?

And her little girl.

[Sobbing ]

[ Baby crying ]

[ Dog barking ]

Your cleaning job... it's at a pub, right?

- Where they keep the money? - VANESSA: I don't know.

[Groaning]

My belly is hurtin'. I need to shit.

What are you looking at? Watch the TV, man!

Destiny.

CURTIS: Idiot.

Stupid brat.

[ Breathing heavily]

Hit it!

In!

[ Indistinct shouting]

Get down!

[Groaning]

Hello. What's your name?

VANESSA: Destiny, put the gun down.

Destiny. Put the gun down, baby.

TENNISON: Had your breakfast yet?

You're not gonna take that to school, are you?

VANESSA: Destiny.

Mnh-mnh.

No.

Want to give it to me?

Thank you.

All right.

Go down with your mummy, all right?

[Curtis groaning]

MAN: We will need an ambulance.

[Sobbing ]

Attention! Clear!

[Telephone ringing ]

What the fuck is she doing?

What's the hospital saying?

Shoulder wound, mainly. He'll survive.

Let's hope that little girl does.

We've got the DNA result back.

And?

Curtis isn't the father.

What?

Curtis is not the father of Sallie's baby.

[Sighs]

TRAYNOR: Boss?

Boss?

I think you should come and take a look at this.

Curtis crashes here a lot. His bolt-hole.

He sleeps in here.

And that bag fits our description of Sallie's.

TENNISON: Right, we'll need a positive I.D. on that

from Sallie's mum and dad straightaway.

TRAYNOR: Mm-hmm.

But Curtis isn't the father.

TRAYNOR: Yeah, I just heard.

Then why would he kill Sallie?

Destiny, this is Carrie.

Would you take her and show her your mum's bedroom?

Thank you.

What's this bag doing here?

I don't know.

Young girls were always coming 'round to see Curtis.

Do you recognize this girl?

VANESSA: Is that the girl that was murdered?

Yes.

And you think Curtis done it?

He's a suspect.

Was she here often?

After school, they'd be in there.

That teacher, Mr. Philips, the head,

he came up here one day, but she told him to beat it.

They had a shouting match.

What? Sallie and Mr. Philips?

Out there on the balcony.

- What were they arguing about? - VANESSA: I don't know.

He didn't like her hanging out with my brother.

- When was this? - About two months ago.

MITCHELL: Jane?

Would you hang on here for a minute?

[ Door closes ]

MITCHELL: You are a highly experienced police officer.

You knew how to defuse the situation.

But it seems to me you escalate.

It seems you deliberately provoke him.

Curtis pulls out a gun and...

The situation could not be defused.

MITCHELL: He wasn't high. He wasn't on drugs.

It takes a 14-year-old girl to defuse the situation.

So I shot Bill, did I?

MITCHELL: Don't be like that. Just“

Were you frightened?

No.

Jane, do yourself a favor.

Do I need to? Should I have a lawyer present?

I'm trying to avoid problems, not create them.

The defense are gonna try and make use of these tapes.

We don't know how many copies there are.

We don't know if the media have got ahold of them.

Jane, I've got to ask the question... were you sober?

I was visiting someone who was ill in hospital.

- Is that a yes or a no? - What do you think?

Look, I appreciate that this is difficult.

Yes, thank you. So it has been.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get back to work.

Unless you don't want me to.

MITCHELL: Traynor.

[Clears throat]

She was visiting her dad at hospital.

He died last night.

Oh, Christ.

See, why doesn't she just...

Even the smallest thing, she doesn't tell anyone.

I mean, ordinary, human...

Did you know her father was ill?

No.

No. Old-school, that's Tennison.

On the force, what, 30, 35 years?

Battered, burnt-out.

Dinosaurs.

What do they do when they leave?

They drink themselves to death, that's what.

Oh, it's...

Just stay close to her, Danny, yeah?

Sir.

[Sobs]

- [ Knock on door] - TRAYNOR: Gov?

Look, I'm very sorry about your dad.

Yeah, thanks.

So, what have they decided?

You carry on.

Good.

And you get to babysit.

So, Curtis Flynn is still under sedation,

so we can't interview him.

But that gives us time

to get forensics onto Sallie's kit bag.

But we've got the fetal DNA.

Curtis Flynn is not the father of Sallie's baby.

Neither is Tony Sturdy.

But listen, listen.

I'm not convinced that Curtis is our only suspect.

His sister saw Sean Philips arguing with Sallie

outside her flat.

Quite violently.

Look, I want you to have a look at this.

See what you think.

[ Cheering ]

This is Sean Philips congratulating Sallie

on a basketball win.

There.

[ Gasps]

Rather enthusiastic, don't you think?

Definitely.

So he was screwing her?

TENNISON: It's a possibility.

So... she gets pregnant.

He doesn't want to know. She thinks, "I'll show you.

I'll go from being your sexual fantasy

to the worst nightmare you've ever known."

Goes completely off the rail, threatens to tell everyone.

I want everything we can on Sean Philips...

his sexual history, his marriage.

Get onto it immediately.

Sanctimonious pricks. What did I tell you?

Huh?

You did, Taff. You did.

Penny's coming in to give a witness statement

on Bill Otley's shooting, so...

Good. We'll see her in the softer suite.

And let's get Sean Philips in, as well.

He'll think he's just there because of her.

Come through here.

Penny, why don't you sit down?

Just that Penny may be called

to give evidence about the shooting.

And so we thought maybe it would be a good idea

to go over again what happened that night,

your part in what happened, okay?

Okay.

Where do you want me to start?

Uh, well, why were you at the hospital?

We were there because of Curtis' leg.

TRAYNOR: And you were there with a group of friends, yeah?

Yeah.

It's just...

I saw him following you.

I saw him threaten you.

He was so angry.

I needed to get him out of there.

So he ran. And I followed.

Why? Why did you run after him?

I don't really know.

I thought I could...

I thought I could keep him away.

Why do you think Curtis listened to you?

I don't know.

He just came because we wanted him to.

Now, listen, Penny...

if you're called as a witness,

then they're going to ask you some questions,

some difficult questions.

So I want to be the one who asks you first.

Okay.

All right?

Okay.

Is Curtis your boyfriend?

Sort of.

Do you have sex?

Not sex but...

Does she have to spell it out?

We need to know how Penny will answer

because it will influence

whether we call her as a witness or not.

Was Curtis sleeping with Sallie?

I think so.

Sallie spent a lot of time with Curtis at his sister's flat.

Do you know Vanessa's flat? Were you aware of that?

No.

No, but you knew about that, Sean, didn't you?

Because you were seen arguing with Sallie

on the balcony outside.

Yeah, Sallie had been missing basketball,

and I was worried that she was going down

the same road as Curtis.

Basketball? That's what that was about?

Mmh.

Well, I appreciate how important basketball is.

But it's just that you never mentioned it before.

And it would have been very helpful to our investigation

if we'd known that Sallie was spending time

in Curtis' bolt-hole.

[Sighs]

Yeah, I can see that now.

Well, in retrospect, that was a mistake.

I should have mentioned it.

Let's look at the school rolls.

Cross-check any of Sallie's absences

with any of Mr. Philips'.

They must keep some kind of attendance record for teachers.

She's holding something back.

TRAYNOR: About Dad?

TENNISON: Mmh.

You got kids?

Yeah. Two girls.

Never lie to them.

They always know when you're lying.

Penny. Penny!

[Telephone ringing ]

It's your mum.

Shit.

Hello?

LINDA: Penny, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.

LINDA: Darling, I want you back here straightaway.

Please!

I'm not coming home tonight, okay?

LINDA: Penny.

Penny!

[Sighs]

So freaked out.

[Sniffling]

Don't even care.

I'm not going home.

[Zipper unzips]

Yes.

It's Sallie's.

No, urn...

They're my daughter's.

I'm afraid they're evidence now.

What about the pendant? Is that there?

The cross? Sallie's cross?

No, there's no sign of that.

[ Inhales deeply]

[ Breathing heavily]

I can still smell her.

And now she's...

Did you ever hear that song "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?

I don't know why, sometimes... I don't...

That's what goes through my head.

She's, uh...

That's... That's what's gone...

That hope.

Hope.

[ Sniffles ] That's what he destroyed.

That's what Sean Philips took away.

Hope.

This bastard came in our house!

This bastard came into our house!

[Crying] He killed my Sallie, too!

You don't know that.

You don't know. You don't know.

Listen, I give you my word. I will find Sallie's killer.

[ Breathing heavily]

I give you my word.

SIMMS: SOCO boys found these bits and pieces

in the hospital car park.

You must have dropped them. They're your dad's.

Thank you.

Bloody shame about Bill, eh?

Terrible.

He was in A.A.

He was... He was a great help to me.

You should have a holiday. Look at you.

No, your dad's just died, you've seen Bill shot.

You were nearly shot.

And you're leaving anyway?

Exactly.

It's my last case.

That's why I have to find the killer of this young girl.

SIMMS: Good night, gov.

TENNISON: Good night.

SIMMS: You gonna be all right?

TENNISON: Yeah.

PAULINE: I've arranged Dad's cremation

for 11:00 tomorrow.

Uh...

Okay.

PAULINE: All right?

Right.

PAULINE: I'll see you then.

Pauline, how are you gonna get...

[Click]

LINDA: Penny?

SEAN: Penny, you can't just not come home at night.

Penny, this is no way to behave.

I know that you've been through

some terrible experiences recently, but...

But we're here for you... your mum and me.

Just get out of my room.

Yeah, so, I won't be in for a couple of hours,

but I'm on the mobile.

SIMMS: Sure.

We're all thinking of you, gov.

Yeah.

SIMMS: Bye.

[ Cellphone closes]

- [ Traffic rushing ] - It's loud.

What?

[Cellphone ringing]

Shit.

God.

I used to be on and on at Mum to invite you around.

Wasn't I, Mum?

I was desperate to have an exciting auntie like you,

not like Dad's boring old sisters.

PAULINE: You're getting as bad as your grandfather.

Whenever you were on TV doing some appeal,

we all sat 'round and watched and said how great you were.

[Laughs]

He was always asking after you, Jane.

I didn't always know.

CAROL: Granddad said you were retiring.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

PAULINE: Maybe we'll see a lot more of you.

It's just a pity it's come too late for Dad.

Oh, bloody hell. Here we go. The prodigal daughter.

Well, he didn't talk to me, not much.

He never talked to me much, either.

That's because you never saw him.

Pauline, you know what?

I don't give a damn about the house.

You can sell it. You can move into it.

I don't care.

I can't believe you said that to Mum.

[ Slurring ] Why? It's what she's longing to say.

Come on. Just come out with it.

Could I have another drink? Gin and tonic.

Large one. Thank you.

You and Brian have had your eye on that house forever.

Don't you think you've had enough?

No, I don't actually.

And I don't think you two have, either.

Oh, come on. Liven up.

I've seen enough dead people in my life, for Christ's sake.

What, am I appalling? Am I embarrassing you?

Never mind, dear.

We can all go and piss in the flowerpots,

get thrown out of here.

PAULINE: I'm sorry... I'm sorry it's turned out like this.

I hope you got what you wanted from life.

I really do.

I hope it's all been worth it.

Why did we come here anyway? I mean, look at us.

We're like some family of old East End villains.

I thought it was nice.

Oh, did you think it was nice? [Laughs]

Well, it's not nice. It's a dump.

Right.

Jane. Come on, Carol.

All right.

We get a lot of funerals in here,

what with being over the road.

Well, you'll never go bust then, will you?

Someone close, was it?

It's just that you look...

sad.

Take your fucking hand off me.

And piss off.

Oh, charming.

Delightful you are.

Prick.

[Siren wailing]

[ Beep, door unlocks]

[ Groans]

[ Strains]

[Sighs]

Penny! Can I talk to you?

See you around, mate.

[ Laughter]

Why did you never have children?

Well, you know, I nearly did once.

Nearly? How can you nearly have a child?

Oh! Good question. [Laughs]

What can I say? Life is complicated.

This is such a nice place.

Oh. Glad you like it.

I grew up here. Spent 15 years in this house.

My sister and I used to share this room.

Which one's yours?

TENNISON: Ta-da!

My God.

The bed is tiny.

[Laughs]

Well, this are the books I wanted to show you.

Cool. Wow, I love this!

Now, that is cool.

- Love the records. - Yeah?

[Music plays ]

These are even older than my dad's.

Q“.!

PENNY: Sorry.

[Laughs] Oh, God.

What?

You remind me so much of...

- Qf you? - Yep.

When you were my age?

[ Laughing ] Yeah.

Munch.

You've got to look at that. That's great.

What are you gonna do with your life, Penny?

Don't know. Something.

There's something you're not telling me.

About your dad?

You said there wouldn't be any questions.

TENNISON: Yeah, sorry, sorry.

It's just, you know, it's so easy just to...

take the wrong turn, Sallie.

PENNY: Sallie?

I'm not Sallie.

Sorry, Penny. Penny.

[ Groans]

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, Penny. Penny, sorry.

[Laughs]

PENNY: You don't need to worry so much.

Everything's gonna be okay.

[Laughs]

Mnh-mnh.

[Laughs]

Oh, shit.

Oh, God.

Oh, Jesus.

[Sighs]

[ Groans]

Penny?

Penny?

[ Dog barking ]

[Birds chirping]

[Sighs]

I'm sorry. I don't know your name.

Jane.

Jane is gonna read the preamble.

"Alcoholics Anonymous

is a fellowship of men and women who share

their experience, strength, and hope with each other

that they may solve their common problem

and help others recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement is a desire to stop drinking."

MAN: Even when blackouts became a way of life,

I still...

still couldn't admit I had a problem with alcohol.

It was always something else.

The job...

my marriage.

And then one morning,

I woke up and it suddenly seemed clear.

My problem wasn't any of those things.

It was alcohol.

That was my problem.

The rest was just life.

But I was dead inside.

[ Door closes ]

It was him or me.

You were the only one that was armed, Curtis.

Bill Otley didn't know what was going on.

He was in my way.

He was putting himself in my way.

Curtis' dabs

are all over the handles of the sports bag,

but not on any of her clothes.

No semen, no sweat, no pubes.

And there's nothing inside the sports bag.

Hello, Curtis.

For the tape,

Detective Superintendent Jane Tennison is entering the room.

Crazy woman.

- Excuse me? - CURTIS: I wanted to talk.

You started running your mouth, cussing me.

This interview is about the murder of Sallie Sturdy.

Now, these clothes have been positively identified

as belonging to Sallie.

They were found in your sister's flat,

beside the bed you often sleep in.

How did they get to be there in your bedroom?

She left them there.

So, were you having sex with Sallie Sturdy?

Someone got there before me.

Is that a yes or a no?

Filled her up. Good and proper.

So, you knew that Sallie was pregnant?

My client isn't the father. You have his DNA on file.

You can't have been too happy about that, eh?

I liked it... banging away in there.

I told her, "I'll punch it out for you."

Oh, is that what happened?

You killed Sallie trying to abort the baby?

CURTIS: Sallie wasn't up for it.

"No, no, Curtis! I love the baby."

I told her, "Go home, man.

Your face don't fit. You don't belong."

That night that Sallie was killed...

I told you I was with Lester.

We have a statement from Mr. Lester Bishop confirming...

Yes, yes, yes. I know, I know.

[Telephone ringing ]

Gov, got one afternoon about three months ago

when I got both Sean Philips and Sallie absent.

He's supposed to be at the dentist.

I'm just gonna get Woodsy to check it now.

- Good. How was he? - Not too happy.

Mm.

Let's go see him again.

What? Lift him?

No, no, no. Go rattle his cage.

Come on, let's go.

Sorry if I'm a little distracted.

Penny didn't come home last night.

She's all right. She's here in school now.

It's just this constant battle between school culture and...

Yeah, well, we're not here to talk about Penny.

TRAYNOR: We're asking several men involved in Sallie's life

to take DNA tests.

I thought Curtis Flynn was the person you were investigating.

TENNISON: Sorry, I can't comment on that.

It would be very helpful

if you could come down to the station with us.

To be tested?

Why? I mean, what would my DNA results show?

Sallie was pregnant when she died.

So we need to establish who the father is.

And you think that I might be the father?

My God.

It's not that we think you're the father.

It's just, well, we're asking people

to eliminate themselves from the inquiry,

to narrow down the field.

But why...

I know it's inconvenient.

But it'll only take about an hour of your time.

This is a witch-hunt.

I don't understand.

You understand perfectly well.

Teachers are being hounded,

portrayed as perverts, child molesters.

You were here yesterday checking the school rolls.

On what possible grounds...

We've got our reasons,

but we're under no obligation to inform you of those.

And I'm under no obligation to take your test.

No, you're not, but if you refuse,

we shall have to draw the inference

and investigate you further.

Or do you want to walk out of here in handcuffs?

GLORIA: What's happening?

I don't know.

Looks like he's being lifted.

Can I say something?

I did it.

Sallie.

I'm the one who made her pregnant.

Sean Philips, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of having unlawful sexual intercourse

with a 14-year-old girl.

[ Engine turns over]

[Sobbing ] Daddy! No!

No!

Daddy! Daddy!

No!

Daddy!

Daddy! Daddy!

[Sobbing ]

Police have charged a 42-year-old man

with having unlawful sex with a 14-year-old girl

who was found murdered last week.

The man remains in custody,

helping police with their inquiries into the murder.

So, how frequently did you and Sallie have sex?

Twice.

Urn, the first time was...

it was just, like, an accident.

Just...

Well, I don't quite know how it happened.

She'd been missing basketball.

Her whole attitude had changed.

I tried talking to her. She wouldn't listen.

And then one day I saw her up at the Brackford Estate.

I was just passing, and I stopped.

We had an argument.

I drove her home.

And somehow, in the car...

You had sex.

She suddenly became very sexual.

And she just...

And the second time?

It was on the heath.

It was, urn...

It was more like a date.

Okay.

[Sighs]

Well, you think I'm contemptible.

You only see the hypocrite.

It doesn't matter what I think.

SEAN: Of course it does.

It matters what everyone thinks!

It's all that's ever mattered to me.

I put a stop to it then.

You know, I could see that it was madness.

So, when did you first know that Sallie was pregnant?

Two months ago.

And how did you react?

Well, I told her that a termination was the only way.

But she, urn...

Well... [Clears throat]

She was full of dreams...

fantasies.

We'd run away together, live on the south coast.

I'd give tutorials.

[ Chuckles ]

She had a way of just making it sound so wonderful.

Possible, even.

Did you feel your career was threatened?

My career, my family.

Everything would be ruined.

So you stopped seeing her?

I tried.

Everything.

I tried to reason with her.

She just wouldn't listen to me.

She was in love with me.

So Sallie wouldn't see sense?

Well, she became impossible.

In school.

At home, she'd watch the house and call in.

She was tormenting me.

And when did you last see her?

Well, on that day at school. The day she was killed.

You think I killed her.

MAN: Either you charge my client or let him go.

This can't be a fishing exercise for another separate crime

unless you're willing to arrest him for it.

All right.

My colleague D.l. Traynor will formally arrest your client

on suspicion of the murder of Sallie Sturdy.

Oh, please. Please, don't do this.

DSI Tennison is leaving the room.

The time is quarter past 2:00.

Ask Penny. She'll tell you that I came straight home.

[ Door closes ]

LINDA: What do you think you're doing?!

I need the car! You can't take the car away!

SIMMS: We'll be as fast as we can.

Will someone please explain to me what is going on?

SIMMS: Let's go inside, shall we?

Just... Get your hands off me!

SIMMS: All right, darling. Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

SIMMS: All right, all right.

You've not noticed anything unusual in Sean's behavior?

I've told you, no.

Stressful job...

being a headmaster.

How does he deal with that?

He doesn't go around screwing 14-year-old girls.

That's not been a problem in the past?

No, it hasn't.

Did you know that Sallie was pregnant when she was murdered?

She gave it to me.

Miss Tennison.

Yeah?

Acted like she was my friend.

I'm too young to drink.

I am.

I shouldn't drink alcohol.

What are you saying, Penny?

She took me back to her dad's house.

We looked at books and...

she wanted me to drink whiskey.

SIMMS: No murder weapon, no bloodstained clothes.

Nothing really.

Right.

Car's gone to forensics.

How about Linda Philips?

SIMMS: Nothing.

They're the Waltons.

[Sighs]

Okay, well, we'll hold him overnight

and wait for forensics in the morning.

Good night.

Night.

- Night, guys. - Night.

Was Penny Philips at the house?

She was there, yeah.

How was she?

Pretty pissed off. Sticking up for her dad.

SIMMS: What, Penny?

She's in reception delivering a fish supper.

Just take it upstairs.

We can't have food from outside.

Why not?

Just take it. It's not asking much.

If your dad has that, we're gonna have to take it all apart

and check there's nothing in there.

There's nothing in there. It's fish and chips.

PENNY: Take it up, okay?

Just take it up before it gets cold!

Jim, take it.

Hmph.

What do you want?

Penny, please?

Penny, I can't imagine how difficult all this is for you.

Go in here.

Look, I told your mate.

About going to your dad's house.

You wanting me to drink.

I told him I was too young to drink alcohol.

Look, Penny, I'm not trying to hurt you.

PENNY: Whiskey would have made me sick.

But you just kept on and on at me.

I never offered you alcohol.

Yes, you did.

You don't even remember, do you?

You were too drunk.

Now can I have my dad back?

Danny, what did Penny tell you?

[Sighs]

It's not good.

My word against hers.

She's got books belonging to you.

She describes your dad's house.

She's no fool.

So, what are you gonna do?

Well, that's up to you. You're my governor.

Well, Danny, I think you should inform Mitchell

that I've seriously compromised the investigation.

I don't think Sean did it.

I think he made Sallie pregnant, all right,

but I still think Curtis killed her.

Look at his form... assault, robbery with violence.

And I don't believe Penny.

Not about the alcohol.

Thank you.

You took her back to your dad's house.

I mean, did you never think...

She stole my heart. [ Chuckles ]

Who would have thought?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Danny, I'm still going after Sean.

[Siren wailing]

My name's Jane...

and I'm an alcoholic.

- Hello, Jane. - Hello, Jane.

Urn, haven't had a drink today.

I guess that's a good thing.

TRAYNOR: His car's clean.

No trace of Sallie. Nothing.

You need a confession.

Tell me something else I don't know.

Detective Superintendent Tennison is entering.

So your only alibi for that night is Penny?

I don't want Penny dragged into this.

Sean, Sean, Penny has already been dragged into it.

She's been questioned. Her bedroom has been searched.

And yet you cling onto her statement.

I mean, Penny's trying to do the right thing.

Well, of course she is. She's only a child, isn't she?

I mean, how old is she?

Oh, she's the same age as little Sallie.

[ Groans]

TENNISON: "Little Sallie."

You know, that's what the tabloids are calling her.

Okay, Sean, we'll start again.

We've got plenty of time.

So, let's go back to the heath.

So how often did you take Sallie there?

On a few occasions.

For sex?

Not only...

[Sighs]

I wasn't there that night. I didn't kill Sallie.

This is wrong.

It's wrong. It's all out of hand.

You're determined to say that I killed Sallie.

And I didn't.

TENNISON: Sean, Sean.

All we want to hear is the truth.

All right?

Okay, now, look, do you want a drink of water?

Please.

Would you get him a drink of water, please?

[ Gulping ]

Sean, can you imagine what all this is doing to Penny?

[Whimpering]

You betray her, her faith in you.

And you do it with a girl of her own age,

from the same class.

A girl who lives across the street.

Penny, Penny... she thinks the world of you.

The questioning is oppressive.

Sean, let Penny free of this.

No!

I've let everyone down.

The whole school. Everyone.

But I didn't kill Sallie.

[Voice breaking] I couldn't.

[Sobs]

I couldn't do that.

MAN: I'm sorry.

Have you any actual evidence against my client?

SEAN: Sallie was my star.

She was my perfect little star.

[Sobs]

Your client is free to go. Thank you, Mr. Philips.

MITCHELL: Okay.

Let's get Curtis Flynn back in and reinterview him.

She's still not convinced about Curtis.

MITCHELL: Yeah, well, it's not her call now.

I'll talk to Tennison at her leaving party.

What's up with you, then?

Nothing.

Well, that's it, then.

Whatever you do, do not hire a stripper for the party.

I can't believe you're really leaving.

Well, I've had a good run, Taff, you know?

Dozens of convictions. Three commendations.

Two for bravery, one for excellence.

More than most.

First female DCI.

First Jane Tennison, DCI.

Sorry, mum.

Don't call me "mum." I'm not the bloody queen.

[ Chuckles ]

£9.20, mate.

Keep the change.

Get out.

Daddy! Daddy!

[ Shouting ]

- Get out! - Listen!

[ Shouting ]

She needs us! She needs a family!

You need your family!

But you screwed that up, didn't you?

Get out!

Open the door!

Your best friend!

Hear what I'm saying?! Your best friend!

Open the door! Open the door, Linda!

[Sobbing ]

Listen to me! He had sex with...

Open the door!

Pregnant! He made her pregnant!

Stop it, Linda!

Penny, listen to me.

Get away from the door or I'll phone the police!

PENNY: Daddy!

I want my daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

It's all right. It's all right.

It's all right. It's all right.

[ Crying ] No! No, get away.

Penny, Penny.

Daddy!

[Alarm deactivates ]

TENNISON: This is Penny Philips at the hospital.

MITCHELL: Oh, come on, Jane.

Now, look. Look.

Even at this distance,

you see the pendant, the one that she's wearing,

is very similar to the one that was missing from Sallie's body.

Now, Penny is wearing it before Bill was killed.

But when she came back from that flat that Curtis had her in,

she wasn't wearing it anymore.

Hang on, hang on.

Somewhere between the hospital and the flat,

Penny disposed of the pendant.

TRAYNOR: Did you notice if Penny was wearing a chain and pendant?

VANESSA: She was only here a little while.

She said my top was nice.

Did she?

She didn't give you anything, did she?

Like any jewelry or anything like that?

No.

Did you notice Curtis chucking anything away?

No.

She got me a drink of water.

TENNISON: Mm-hmm.

DESTINY: I don't like water from the bathroom.

You drink it, you get sick.

Penny got you a drink of water from the bathroom?

I didn't drink it.

Excuse us a minute.

Let's get SOCO over here. Gonna rip out that toilet.

I'm going to school.

Do you think that's wise?

[ Scoffs ] I have to get back sometime.

I don't think it's a good idea.

- No. Nothing. - Oh, damn!

Well, where does that pipe go?

The waste pipe goes down through the middle of Vanessa's flat

into the flat below.

Penny! You have pervs in your house?

[ Laughter]

Your dad teach blowjobs?

Blowjob! Blowjob!

Blowjob!

PENNY: I hate you! I hate you!

[ Shouting ]

I hate you! I hate...

Fuck you! I'm gonna kill you!

WOMAN: Move back!

It's that one.

It's all right. It's empty.

[ Dog barking ]

[ Motor whirring]

[Whirring stops]

[ Rattling ]

Why didn't she just let him be?

I hate this place.

She was going on and on at him.

And she won't ever let him be.

Why won't she ever leave him alone?

GLORIA: Penny!

[ Strains]

[Cellphone ringing]

Taff?

Penny walked out of school after a fight.

Mum doesn't know where she is.

She just disappeared.

? Baby, won't you tell me ?

? What am I to do? ?

? I'm in the middle of nowhere ?

? Getting nowhere with you ?

[ Footsteps ]

[Sighs]

Couldn't see it.

Couldn't see it.

[Music playing]

Hello?

Who's that?

[Music stops]

Jane?

Auntie Jane?

Hi.

[ Groans]

[ Panting ] Please don't... Please don't hurt me!

This is my granddad's house! Please!

Aah!

PENNY: Phone Tennison!

Go on!

[Cellphone ringing]

TENNISON: Yes?

CAROL: Auntie Jane, please! I'm at Granddad's!

Penny's got my niece.

[ Glass breaking ]

Aah!

Grab her, Danny.

Aah!

Where's Tennison?! Why didn't she leave him alone?!

MAN: Get a psychiatrist.

LINDA: My daughter's not mad.

[ Screams ]

Get away from me!

Just get away from me!

Where is she?!

She won't speak to anybody else.

Well, she will eventually.

Get her to open up and we'll get a proper statement later on.

Put her in a secure unit.

TRAYNOR: Jane.

Look, she's asked to speak to you.

[ Door opens]

You had an abortion.

You said you nearly had a baby.

That... That's what you meant.

You had an abortion.

You killed your child.

[Sobbing ]

Yes, I had a termination.

Penny, what do you want from me?

PENNY: What do they call it...

when you can't remember what you've done?

A blackout?

PENNY: Yeah.

Do you think that happened between me and Sallie?

Why, you don't remember what happened?

[Crying ] You're all saying I killed her.

You were wearing Sallie's pendant.

She gave it to me 'cause we were friends.

Penny, it was ripped off Sallie's neck

after she was stabbed.

We've got the photographs.

Look, you can see the pattern

that the chain cut in Sallie's neck.

Curtis could have done it.

Curtis has an alibi.

PENNY: Why did you kill n?

It could have been a girl.

You could have been a mother.

Penny, you're 14.

There's a lot about life that you don't understand.

You killed your child!

What is there to understand?

TENNISON: You know, I spent eight hours

in a room like this once...

listening to a young man tell me how he'd killed three people.

He was explaining to me

how he gouged out one woman's eye with a pencil.

You think I'm gonna go home to "Thomas the Tank Engine"

and "Good Night, Teddy" after that?

I made choices.

I spent my life in rooms like this.

I'm not proud, but, yes, I had a termination.

It was the right thing for me.

It was the right thing for me to do.

You're the reason my dad's gone.

The reason's your dad's gone is because

he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl...

with your friend Sallie.

You don't love anyone.

You don't have anyone except yourself.

You're lonely!

I thought we were friends.

[Sobbing ]

I never lied to you, Penny.

Listening to you and being with you,

it made me feel like...

Well, that life was worth living again,

everything was exciting and possible.

And I felt like I used to before all of this.

I wanted to give you...

love.

You never meant to kill Sallie, did you?

You wanted to kill that baby.

Penny, you never intended to kill Sallie, did you?

I meant to.

Sallie was taking the piss.

TRAYNOR: Okay.

[Clears throat]

[Sobbing ]

You got what you wanted.

Here we are. Here's our boy.

There's our boy, Officer Hunky.

- Oh! - Check him out.

He'll handcuff her and do the business.

Handcuff Tennison? You're joking.

He'll give her a full-body search.

Oi, if he touches her, she'll stick that baton right up his...

[Honks]

RUTH: That's Sallie's, yes.

I promise it will be returned to you after the court case.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm sorry this investigation has been...

so painful for both of you.

We get up in the morning and that's an achievement.

I make a cup of tea.

That's another one.

That's how life is now.

[ Door opens]

[Faint singing]

I hear you're leaving.

Yes. Out to grass.

Thank you.

For everything, thank you. [ Sighs]

[ Party favors pop ]

[ Laughter, indistinct talking ]
