SHE SOBS

"My ex Levi Bellfield is very familiar with the area and hates women."

"Levi is currently on bail for GBH

and the weapon used in the attack was a hammer."

CHILDREN SHOUT - COLIN: Oh, God.

Must be break time.

Sarah Knight was run over by a people carrier May 28th.

One week later Bellfield sold his Previa.

RICHARD: Guilty conscience? - CHRIS: Or a coincidence.

LOUISE: The other day you said

"I don't want to mess up Amélie the way Surrey did Milly."

Well, they have messed Milly! - Where do you think I work, Colin?

COLIN: Bus stops and bus routes are his hunting ground.

There will be more attacks unless we can find something to bring him in on.

ANDY: News of the World just called the press office

and they know we're planning an arrest.

They're gonna run the story on Sunday, so we have to pick Bellfield up before then.

We're not ready to arrest him. They can't run it.

We can do a deal. - Are you serious?

BOB: When you nick Bellfield, take The News of the World along for the ride.

COLIN: You all know how important success is this morning.

But watch the adrenalin.

Don't rush. Don't lose your heads.

Slow and steady really does win the day.

And that applies tenfold to you two. Stay back and out of the way.

If you get under our feet or do anything daft to get a photo

you'll be sharing a cell with the suspect.

Clear? - THEY MUMBLE

OK.

Surveillance put Bellfield to bed at 11 pm.

He's at home with his partner Laura Marsh.

The children are at a sleepover with Laura's mum.

The street and the back garden are covered.

And we're striking ten other locations simultaneously

to ensure his mates don't lose any evidence - cars in particular.

Then we'll take him down to Heathrow

for an interview as they're set up for Category A's.

Jo and I will lead the advance party to make sure they're good and ready.

DS Griffiths has your vehicle keys, your maps and your briefing notes.

Good luck.

CAR ENGINE STOPS

COLIN: So we're just waiting on East Hounslow.

What time is it?

Ten past five.

RADIO: East Houns/ow in position.

Go. Go. Go.

RUMBLE - SHOUTING

Police!

RUMBLE - Police!

KNOCKING CONTINUES - BARKING CONTINUE

Police!

This is a warrant to search this property.

Go left or right!

Go left or go right!

Laura? Laura Marsh?

DS Norman Griffiths. - Nothing. He's not fucking here!

He's gotta be here!

DOGS GROWL AND BARK

He's not in here.

Where's Levi, Laura?

SHE INHALES NERVOUSLY I don't know.

Keep them out, for fuck sake! - GARY: Get out. Go!

REPORTER: No, I've got a... gotta bloody arrangement.

No, we must've missed him Guv.

What?

NORMAN: His car's here but he's not in the house.

Impossible. Surveillance put him to bed at eleven and then stayed on site.

I don't know what to say, Guv.

It's a oul-de-sac. How can they have missed him?

Uh, there's a fair few ways out on foot.

Well, someone's driving a fucking Panda oar tomorrow!

HE WHISPERS: Fuck!

VOICES OUTSIDE: Keep looking! Keep looking!

Are you sure you don't know where he is, Laura?

Laura?

That went in the stereo.

He asked me to turn it down.

Normally I would've but I said "no"

'cause the kids were dancing, enjoying themselves.

So he grabbed the stereo and threw it against the wall.

Right over their heads.

Where is he, Laura?

That's all I need to know.

NORMAN: She seems sure he's in the loft.

OK, don't do anything. We're gonna need help getting up there.

What are you thinking, Guv?

COLIN: I'm thinking he's killed two people by hitting them over the head.

The TSG can handle this. I'll make a call.

PHONE BEEPS - BIRDS CHIRP

HE WHISPERS: Anything?

CLIVE: Not a peep.

Are we sure he's up there?

There's only one way to find out.

Maybe this will bring him out.

What do you think he is, a bloody moth?

HE CHUCKLES

HE BREATHES NERVOUSLY

I'm going up.

HE PANTS

Police! Show me your hands!

I... I... l, I, I'm just hiding!

L-- I don't know who you were! - Stay there!

I've got him!

INDISTINCT CHATTER - CAR SKIDS

SIREN WAILS

Norman? - NORMAN: We got him, Guv.

What? He turned himself in?

Not exactly. I just went up and got him. - DOOR OPENS

Thought it'd save a lot of fucking about. - You're very naughty.

CLIVE: This is Mr Sutton, Levi, and he's the boss.

Fuck you, prick. - Move, move.

REPORTER: Levi, News of the World. You care to comment at all, mate?

5D'you wanna comment for me or something. - REPORTER: Yeah, yeah. Course I am.

Get in the oar! - REPORTER: Why'd you do it?

Get in the oar! - REPORTER: This is gonna make front page!

Alright, you got enough. I said enough. - Alright. Alright.

LEVI GRUNTS: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

GARY: Calm down. - Fucking fiberglass is killing my arm.

CAMERA CLICKS REPEATEDLY - LEVI: Itching like a fucker.

CLIVE: Alright. Come on. - Fuck off!

Let's get him out of here. - ENGINE STARTS

Uh, we need fresh meat for the interview.

What about his Previa?

Blood? DNA'? ls there any way we can prove

that was the vehicle that ran Sarah Knight over?

No, just spoke to forensics. No joy.

What about his other oars? Any other people carriers?

Uh, yeah, we're drawing up a list. - Alright, that's good.

You keep on the vehicles, OK? - Thanks, Guv.

Good luck. - Yeah.

And don't forget his wheel clamping mates, either?

OK. We've got him for 72 hours

minus medicals, meals, disclosures, legal consultations and beauty sleep.

I need you two to go in there believing that you can come out

with something we can use.

OK? He'll have an alibi for Amélie so don't waste time challenging that.

But if you can get him to acknowledge that he owns

or owned a white Ford Courier van, then we're halfway there.

But tread softly, OK? We're just confirming details.

David Smith. I'm representing Mr Bellfield.

DCI Colin Sutton. Nice to meet you.

You a Spurs fan, Levi?

Yeah.

Me too. - That makes three of us.

Don't expect any special treatment though.

DAVID LAUGHS

Over here, please, Mr Bellfield. Just need a few signatures from you.

And what's the status of the Volvo now?

LEW It's parked outside my house.

Couple streets away. You can have the keys if you like.

JO: Thank you.

And what about your white Ford Courier van?

What?

I don't own a Courier.

JO: You sure about that? - LEVI: Yeah,

Your mate Roger Fearn says you do.

Oh, he means, err, Peugeot.

I got a white Peugeot van. Yeah.

Ah. Similar to a Courier. Yeah.

Uh, Roger ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

HE LAUGHS

That's not you driving that van then?

I don't own a Courier, mate. Just, uh, cleared that one up, haven't we?

This is near Twiokenham Green?

GARY: Staines Road. - No, it's not Staines Road. It's Hampton.

I stand corrected.

Those photos got him talking.

Most loquacious.

JO: Know the area pretty we", Levi.

Yep. I, uh... I used to live in Turing Street

and I used to play pool at the Whitby Arms.

I still do on occasion. HE LAUGHS

Know this area, Levi?

That's Spring Grove Road, innit?

In lsleworth. - You know lsleworth?

'Course. Yeah, I'm up there all the time.

Work? Friends? What's the attraction?

LEVI: Bit of both. - GARY: What about cars? Garages?

LEVI LAUGHS

What's this? Fucking trick question or something?

Very straightforward question.

Bill Wood of Epstone Motors in lsleworth

said he sold you a white Courier van.

They're just off Spring Grove Road.

Is he lying, Levi?

LEW Well, yeah.

Or he's mistaken.

GARY: Why would he be mistaken?

I don't know. Maybe he hasn't got a head for faces.

Come on, Levi, you've got a very distinctive face.

No one would forget your mug.

HE GUFFAWS AND GRUMBLES

DAVID: Let's keep it nice and civil, Levi.

So, this, um, this van of yours, eh?

You got it then?

You seized it?

GARY: Very funny question.

LEVI: Well, like lsaid

Roger is a bit confused about the Courier.

But...

if I did own one, which I don't, if I did

you couldn't prove it was me in there, could you?

Couldn't prove it was anyone.

It's too fucking dark, innit?

GARY: Yeah, well, we've got other pictures, Levi.

Lots of 'em. - LEVI: Oh, yeah?

Let's see 'em, then.

Bollocks.

We have a day, a day and a half to find something we can hold him on.

AFN Suggestions?

I'm deep in the Marsha file but so far no link to Bellfield

or his work as a bouncer and clamper.

COLIN: Uh, Clive? Chris?

Uh, I'm still on the Sarah Knight exhibits, Guv.

It's a lot of material.

Yeah, but all we've really got is the coincidence

with the Previa and the broken mirror.

What about his alibi for Amélie? Says he was oar clamping.

Talking to his mates-slash-employees.

No doubt they know more than they're saying but they're scared.

Can't we scare them? Vehicle tax? License infringement?

No luck so far.

We're sure he hasn't got the Courier van stashed away?

No, that van's in a scrapyard somewhere. If it wasn't, we would've found it by now.

Before Laura gave up Levi you had to coax her a bit, didn't you?

Yeah, a bit, Guv. Yeah.

COLIN: What did she say?

Uhm, he lost his rag the other day. Smashed up a stereo in front of the kids.

That doesn't sound like anything we can charge.

No. Unless it's just the tip of the iceberg.

LAURA: My mum and my mates, they never got it.

What I saw in him.

When we got together he made me feel so special.

And, sounds mental, but he made me feel safe.

It was little things to start with.

"Why do you talk to your mum so much?"

"What do you want to see your mates for? Aren't I good enough?"

"Why do you need a bank card? What do you need money for?

You just waste it on rubbish."

And what about more recently?

Here's the situation, Laura.

We think Levi has committed some very serious crimes including murder.

But right now we don't have the evidence to prove it

so we can't keep him in custody.

He, he's... he's getting out?

Mm.

Tomorrow.

Unless you can tell us something that will let us bring a charge against him.

I can't. He'll kill me. - No he won't.

You're gonna protect me, are you?

Heard that one before.

If you help us, Laura, he's finished.

It's over.

He's never getting out and you never have to see him again.

He's the father of my kids.

What am I supposed to tell them?

JO: We're not pretending this is easy. We know you're conflicted.

But we're desperate.

We need to keep Levi looked up

and deep down I think that's what you want too.

I don't know where to start.

SHE BREATHES IN NERVOUSLY - Yes, I do.

First time I said I was leaving him

he got me up in the corner and ripped my clothes off.

I mean everything.

He pushed me out there, naked, and looked the door.

I was hysterical. I just lost it.

Banging on the glass.

Screaming at him to let me in.

Apologising even though I hadn't done anything wrong.

It felt like the whole street was watching.

And then he just started laughing.

Sticking his tongue out

taking pictures of me like it was all a big joke.

Laura, we can take a break any time you want, OK?

On the news it said you found Amélie's stuff near Walton Bridge?

Yeah, that's right.

Why do you mention that?

Laura?

He raped me under Walton Bridge.

Given the serious ness of these multiple charges of rape and assault

and given your past history with the complainants

we're satisfied bail should be denied.

You will be remanded in custody

at Her Majesty's Prison Woodhill, Milton Keynes.

Milton Keynes?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Milton fucking Keynes!

I can-- I can-- I can't leave London. I can't leave my Mum!

GLASS RUMBLES - I got a business to run!

INDISTINCT GRUMBLES

Warning! I'm not gonna forget it! I'm not gonna forget it!

OK.

Uh, we got him off the street but there's still a long way to go.

Uh, without wishing to diminish their gravity, his domestic crimes are a sideshow.

We still haven't found a Courier

and after all your efforts that's a kick in the teeth.

But we were thorough and we can be proud of that.

Thorough is what gave us the van in the first place.

Thorough told us that buses were now fitted with outside cameras.

And thorough is how we'll get him for these murders and attempted murders.

INDISTINCT CROSSTALK - Guv?

Yes, Chris? - We may not have the van itself

but phone data is matching up a treat with CCTV.

Yeah, based on bus and static cameras

we can place the van in and around Twickenham Green

between 21.32 and 22.08 on the night Amelie died.

COLIN: OK'? - The landline at Little Benty -

almost certainly Laura - calls Bellfield's mobile at 21.37.

Yeah, um, cell-site data tells us that when his phone was called

it was transmitting to a mast here on Fourth Cross Road.

And that mast covers Twiokenham Green and all the nearby streets.

L.e., exactly where the CCTV shows the van to be.

And when Laura's call hits his mobile it goes straight to voioemail.

NEIL: Well, you can picture the scene.

He's in his van, cruising the Green, hunting for a victim, his phone rings.

He panics. Turns it off after one ring.

It's too late. It's logged.

Time and place, sound and picture.

How's he wriggle out of that? - COLIN: Easily. He lost his phone.

He lent it to a mate.

He's got a Peugeot not a Courier and that's not him in the van.

What about the garage says they sold him the Courier?

That's interesting but it's not compelling. - CHRIS: How's it not compelling?

It was months ago. Might've not been Levi.

Didn't even give his full name.

Shit. - This is good work, Chris

but you need to develop it.

We need to put the phone in Bellfield's hand at 9.37

and we need to put him in that van. - CHRIS: Yes, Guv.

OK, that's all. Thank you very much. - INDISTINCT CROSSTALK

LAURA: I remember that day cos it was the first day

I'd been out since having the baby.

And I, I needed loads of stuff but Levi didn't like me going out on my...

Anyway, he said when he got back from clamping

he'd take me to the Somerfield's in Hayes.

And did he'? - He didn't turn up so I got a minicab.

When I got to Somerfield's he, he called me asking why I wasn't home.

And what sort of time was that?

About eight.

Uhm, he came to find me and...

uh, he took our eldest two to Toys R Us while I finished shopping.

What sort of mood was he in?

Fine. Good.

Uhm, he called again while I was paying to tell me what toys he'd got the kids.

And then you came back here to Little Benty, together?

And what time d'you get here?

Sometime around nine, I suppose.

What is it, Laura?

You asked what kind of mood he was in?

At the supermarket he was Levi at his best.

Mucking about, helping out with the kids.

But by the time we got home it was like a switch had been flicked.

In what way?

He didn't help me unpack, didn't come in.

He just backed the van up and let me unload the bags.

And this was roughly five, ten past nine?

And then he just drove off.

L, uh, I got the baby down

and then I, I went to make a cup of tea

and that's when I realized I'd forgotten the milk.

So I called Levi and I asked him to bring some in.

And what did he say?

He didn't answer.

So I left him a message.

Then that's our 9.37 call.

Of course having the van would be ideal? - Sure, but...

The van plus forensics.

Ideal from a CPS perspective.

Yeah, we're not gonna get the van, Andrew. He's made it disappear.

I see.

ANDREW SIGHS

COLIN: So, are you going to recommend charges or not?

Well, fact is we're minus any forensics linking him to Amélie.

Uhm, we've got, uh, phone data and Laura's testimony

put him in the van at Twickenham Green on the night that Amelie was killed.

Defence will just say that Laura's lying.

Or confused about the day. - She's not confused.

Just had a baby.

Sleep-deprived. Doolally. - No, she called him to get milk.

And that was the call that pinged the mast by the Green at 21.37.

But they didn't actually speak.

And my guess is that she called him all day and vice versa.

ANDREW SIGHS

What about the trip to Somerfield's?

Does it show up on her bank card? - No, she paid cash.

Right.

Pity.

Yeah.

Maybe it's worth looking into the other things you suspect him of.

Marsha McDonnell. The attack on Sarah Knight.

Yeah, we already are.

I'm sorry, Colin, we're not ready for court yet.

OK.

Right, come on. Vehicles. - Yeah. Working through the list. Fleet.

Now, Previa's still a possibility on the attack on Sarah Knight but no forensics.

Amélie, Ford Courier we can't find, obviously.

Marsha McDonnell.

Now, on the night she was killed he might have been driving a Fiat Punto.

Based on what?

Bus cameras.

The cameras picked up a oar behind Marsha's bus.

See, weirdly, the internal camera got the best shot.

There he is, and there's Marsha.

Tentatively lD'd as a Punto but we can't make out the registration.

Of course we bloody can't.

KNOCKING ON DOOR - DOOR OPENS

Guv.

Someone to see you.

Laura.

I want to talk about Milly Dowler.

In 2002 we were renting a flat in Collingwood Place.

Off Station Avenue.

Except we weren't living there. Not the week that Milly disappeared.

I was dog-sitting for a friend in West Drayton

and me and Levi were about to move to Little Benty and he was getting it ready.

That morning he left early to finish decorating.

So Levi went to Little Benty leaving you in West Drayton?

He didn't call all day.

Was that unusual?

He normally called every couple of hours to check up on me.

Mm. And did you call him?

His mobile was off.

And he never switched his phone off.

Cinemas, hospitals, never.

So what did you do?

I was going to the shops and I couldn't find my car key.

I realised he'd taken it.

Levi had?

What sort of oar was that? - A Daewoo.

I only had the one key but on the same ring I had the keys to Collingwood Place.

So on the day that Levi was unoontactable

he had access to Collingwood Place?

When did you hear from him?

When he came home.

I mean, when he came to find me at, uh, West Drayton.

What sort of time was that?

Uh, late. About eleven.

He brought fried chicken and cans of lager for us to share.

And he changed.

He was wearing this white track suit.

Was it new? Had you seen it before?

I'd seen it in the wardrobe in Collingwood Place.

So when you saw him wearing that tracksuit you were pretty certain

he'd been to Collingwood Place?

I thought he'd taken a girl there.

You didn't ask him?

You don't ask Levi about stuff like that.

The next morning, I realised my car wasn't outside

so I called Levi.

He said he'd been for a drink with some mates and got a cab home

'cause he drank too much to drive.

I told him I needed my car.

So he said he'd call a cab and we could go and fetch it together.

And did he'?

It wasn't there.

It wasn't where he parked it.

Did you find it?

He said it must've been nicked.

He made me file a police report.

Sorry, Laura, I just want to be clear on this.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Levi took your Daewoo on March the 21st, 2002, and you never saw it again?

Never.

Amelie, Marsha, and Sarah - I can't get one of them over the line with the CPS.

Thank God he didn't get bail.

And I've heard nothing back from Surrey about Milly.

When you offer up a suspect that solid you expect to hear something.

What, are they winding things down?

They got a new lead? - You're asking the wrong person.

I've been officially removed from the Milly inquiry.

You're kidding. - Junior analyst is taking over.

They think I'll leak to you over the dinner table.

Not that I recall the last time we actually sat down for dinner.

Well, that's a pain.

What? - You being taken off Milly.

You are fucking unbelievable.

I just told you I've been demoted in all but name

and all you can think of is yourself. - No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's outrageous the way they've treated you.

It's outrageous and unfair. - Yeah. It is.

Good morning.

What's this?

Well, it looks like breakfast in bed to my trained eye.

I've confirmed the move-in date and I've emailed the packers.

Only took me two hours to find it. - SHE CHUCKLES

Let's splash out on a barbecue at the new place, shall we.

Get back into it.

Just say if I'm trying too hard.

I will.

You want something?

Just your blessing.

I can't wait any longer for a response from Surrey on Milly.

I've called them and they're expecting me.

You know, the rapes and the domestic assaults.

I mean, how long is he actually going to serve?

You know how it goes. You get a good lawyer, he-said-she-said.

We must make one of these murders stick and I honestly don't care

if it's one of yours of one of ours. - Does it have to be you?

Can't you send someone?

Louise. - You marching into the place

where I work telling them you've solved their big case

it makes things tricky for me.

You can see that, right?

As in kill whatever trust my bosses have left in me stone dead.

DOOR OPENS

Steve Scott.

Good to meet you.

This is DS Jo Brunt. - Sir.

We've met before, actually, at that internet fraud thing in Epsom, sir.

So we did. Back when we called it the 'World Wide Web'

and thought a firewall could save you.

Are you telling me different? - STEVE GUFFAWS

This is Maria. She's been made SIO on Milly.

Nice to meet you, Maria. - Good to meet you, Colin.

STEVE: Shall we?

After you. - The obvious corollary is

that he used Laura's oar to move Milly's body and then junked it same as he did

with the van he was driving when he killed Amélie.

As for the M.O.

we've seen him try to get girls into his car in broad daylight. He's brazen.

We need to corroborate Laura's account.

Do you have any cars caught on CCTV that could be her cherry red Daewoo?

Yeah, we do.

We have a red oar turning into Station Road at 3.50.

We never established who was inside.

That's it. That's Laura's Daewoo. - No. It's a Daewoo.

You can't see the reg.

She was the only person to have one of that particular colour

and model registered locally in 2002.

And the only person who had the keys to it that day was Bellfield.

Look, the thing is, Colin

we have a very strong suspect of our own.

And we're hopeful that analysis of mud from his car

will match pollen from Minley Heath where Milly was found.

And once we've established that, one way or the other

perhaps we'll find time to have a look at your man.

We're offering you a suspect who's not only a paedophile

but a killer and a rapist...

Suspected killer and rapist. - ...who not only lived on the plot

but was provably there at exactly the time when Milly disappeared

and you want to wait for pollen samples? What the fuck is wrong with you?

JO: Colin. - I'm struggling here!

Completely struggling to fathom why you'd do this?

Seriously! Why? Don't you want to solve it?

That is an obscene suggestion.

Obscene!

How dare you come down here, saunter in the Big I Am

and suggest, even suggest, something like that!

Now, I have seen first-hand what those officers have given -

the sacrifices they've made

to get justice for Milly... - PHONE RINGS

...so you are gonna apologise to each and every one--

I'm sorry, I've gotta take this.

That is breath-taking. - Hello.

Absolutely breath-taking! - Yeah, thanks for getting back.

Gimme a sec, I'll just get somewhere quieter.

Who do you think you are? Hm?

Yup. - STEVE CONTINUES SHOUTING

STEVE: Oh, I'm sorry, we're gonna have to cut your case. Hm?

After two years! Two years... - COLIN: Mm-hm. What can you see?

...of investigation.

Where have they gone?

I think the meetings over.

I'm just a DS, Colin.

I'm just a bloody DS.

Was that really forensics on the phone?

Yeah, of course.

They're having another go at cleaning out the Marsha footage.

They've got some new software.

What happened to 'never leave a man behind'?

You're not a man.

SHE LAUGHS

HE LAUGHS

I thought he was gonna have a fucking heart attack.

I can't get hold of Chris.

He's in the evidence store with some bird from Hounslow.

CHRIS: Guv, this is DS Nicola Hart from Hounslow.

Uh, she was on Sarah Knight. - So glad you're looking at it, sir.

We gave it our all but we don't have your resources.

COLIN: Nice to meet you, Nicola.

There's a ton of stuff. I just wanted to be on hand to answer any questions.

That's very decent of you.

NICOLA: Chris said you, uh, found the people carrier.

We thought it was a Previa.

It's weird that there wasn't any of Sarah's DNA.

I mean, he ran over her twice. - Why are you here?

I said to Chris I just want to help.

I want to get justice for Sarah.

If you're uncomfortable I get it.

I'll go. - No. You can stay.

Nicola, got some CCTV here from a pub

looks like it hasn't been viewed.

No, I've seen it. - There's, there's nothing on it.

Well, seals not broken. - That's impossible.

Is it the 27th or the 28th of May?

Uh, the 28th.

I already logged the 27th. That has been viewed.

Well, we viewed them both. We viewed the 28th as well.

And you pulled both tapes cos you didn't know

which side of midnight she was attacked? - Yeah. Well, no, not exactly.

She was attacked after midnight but we didn't know that then

so we just took the tape for the 27th.

And when you realized your mistake...?

We sent someone back to the pub to get the 28th.

Explains the two bags.

And why they're logged a page apart.

It doesn't explain why this is sealed, Nicola.

Unless you made a copy, this is unseen.

Oh God.

I went on leave that day and I asked the DS covering for me to check the footage.

Did you tell them there were two tapes?

They viewed the 27th 'cause it crops up here first.

They didn't turn the page and see the 28th.

And the action to view the CCTV was marked as complete.

Oh my God.

Oh my God. - Do you think that's what happened, Nicola?

When I came back from holiday

he said he'd seen the tape and there was nothing on it.

I thought he meant the 28th.

He didn't know the case.

He didn't know she was attacked after midnight.

Must be Sarah's bus.

Levi's Previa.

Oh, Jesus. - COLIN: Spool it back, Jonesy.

Get the clearest frame.

No chance of getting the driver or the plates.

Look at that mark.

That's still there, right? - Yeah.

It's the leaking petrol cap.

Ties him to Sarah like the Courier never did with Amélie.

We got him.

Should've had him back in May.

You should've had him back in May and Amélie would still be alive?

BELLS RING

COLIN: Ah, Dominique.

How nice to see you. - Ban/our.

How are you? - Oh, very good.

Good. Good, good. - Ah, very good. Thank you very much.

What you need to understand is, if the tape had been seen

by Hounslow police after Sarah had been run over

it would've almost certainly led them to Bellfield.

There's no escaping that and there's no exousing it.

HE SPEAKS IN FRENCH

Do you understand what I'm saying?

If that tape had been viewed then Amelie would probably still be here.

SHE REPLIES IN FRENCH

Of course, we understand what it means.

It's a shame.

It's a great shame.

But we are where we are.

It has happened and we cannot change the past

as much as we would like to.

What I mean is, uh, mistakes get made.

We're human.

But, thank you.

Thank you for telling us. Thank you for your honesty.

What, what is important to us is that you carry on.

And you bring this evil man to justice. - Yes.

Now, would you two stay for something to eat?

Well, for my part I can't imagine members of the British public being so understanding.

I'm just so... so very sorry that we failed Amélie.

JEAN-FRANCOIS: ...yeah, so, they, we do this tradition, uh, so, in the middle of a, a...

Yeah. Like a banquet... - Like a banquet, yeah...

Yes, banquet.

Hello, Steve.

Uh, I'm on a plane, about to lose my phone.

OK, look, I'm, I'm sorry how things went the other morning.

Can we put our heads together ASAP?

Yes. Yeah, of course we can. Whenever you want.

Thanks, Steve. Yeah.

Bye.

Could you turn phone off, sir? - Yep, OK.

What the CPS said about tying the van to the night Amélie was killed.

It got me thinking about Laura. - In what way?

In a she's-got-a-fuoking-amazing-memory way.

I'm in the Somerfield's that she and Levi went to before Amelie was attacked.

We've been over this, Jo. - I asked her what she 'd bought.

Nappies, wipes, coffee uh, washing-up liquid, baby powder.

It was forty quid total, just over so...

She paid cash, Jo. How's this gonna help?

Because they keep their receipts for two years.

And?

And if her memory matches an itemized bill plus date and time

who can say she's got the wrong night and keep a straight face?

Right?

OK, there you go. 2004.

Thanks. - Ta.

Let me know if you need anything.

Uh, 16th to the 30th of August. 16th to the 30th of August.

16th... yeah.

NORMAN: That's 28th.

JO: Sixteenth. - Seventeenth.

Uhm, well, better than we had any right to expect, actually.

Welcome home. - Oh! Alright.

JO: We're looking for the 19th of August between eight and nine pm.

OK, what's the total we're looking for?

GARY: Just over 40 quid, Guv.

Date and time below the total.

So, where's the, uh, office duty free, then?

Mm? Well, I did get you a nice big, uh, Toblerone

and a whole camembert but Gary ate it in the oar.

THEY LAUGH - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Forty-one pounds and eight pence. Date's right, time too. 20.34.

SHE GASPS Laura Marsh, I love you.
