1 00:00:40,673 --> 00:00:43,633 Want to tell me about Adam Garner? He said we had a relationship. 2 00:00:43,633 --> 00:00:48,512 He was a fantasist. The whole thing was dropped. He was 14 years old. 3 00:00:48,512 --> 00:00:51,153 Listen, Mr Powell, there is a boy out there, missing. 4 00:00:51,153 --> 00:00:54,233 Yes, and you found the other boy. Maybe you know where this one is. 5 00:00:54,233 --> 00:00:58,912 There's damage to the liver. There appears to be some kind of a toxic substance. 6 00:00:58,912 --> 00:01:01,233 Berricane. Trade name for Tetracynadine. 7 00:01:01,233 --> 00:01:04,073 How would he have come into contact with that? 8 00:01:04,073 --> 00:01:09,672 He was with me! He made up a meeting with Francis Neill to distract us. That's how he was able to do this. 9 00:01:09,672 --> 00:01:13,193 This isn't Liam. This must be Francis Neill. 10 00:01:13,193 --> 00:01:14,713 Liam's still out there somewhere. 11 00:01:14,713 --> 00:01:16,752 He could still be alive. 12 00:01:18,033 --> 00:01:24,153 13 00:01:25,392 --> 00:01:32,273 14 00:01:32,273 --> 00:01:38,633 15 00:02:00,672 --> 00:02:02,472 Sorry to call you in so late. 16 00:02:02,472 --> 00:02:04,953 I'd just shut my eyes for the first time in two days. 17 00:02:04,953 --> 00:02:07,072 How can you be sure it's NOT Liam Neill on that slab? 18 00:02:07,072 --> 00:02:10,793 We cut through the bones and counted the rings(!) 19 00:02:10,793 --> 00:02:12,953 Dental indicators, the fusing of growth plates. 20 00:02:12,953 --> 00:02:15,792 Forensic science has reached the dizzying heights 21 00:02:15,792 --> 00:02:18,872 of being able to tell the difference between a man in his mid-20s 22 00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:20,352 and a 12-year-old boy. 23 00:02:24,832 --> 00:02:28,073 Yeah, this is what I want to see at 2 in the morning. 24 00:02:28,073 --> 00:02:31,352 The print and hair samples match those we took from the Neill flat, 25 00:02:31,352 --> 00:02:35,392 and the hair that Professor Dalton found in Michael Edwards' mouth also matches this man. 26 00:02:35,392 --> 00:02:38,272 So this is the abductor? This is Francis Neill? 27 00:02:39,833 --> 00:02:43,793 We might never know what he did with Liam. How do you know that Liam's not still out there? 28 00:02:43,793 --> 00:02:46,232 It's been more than 48 hours. 59! 29 00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:50,232 You know, the chances are, Liam was already dead by the time Michael was found. 30 00:02:50,232 --> 00:02:54,192 Powell said that a sadistic paedophile might keep the boy alive. 31 00:02:54,192 --> 00:02:57,433 You've seen the photos. Wouldn't you say we were dealing with a sadistic paedophile? 32 00:02:57,433 --> 00:03:02,552 As opposed to one of the nice fluffy ones(?) If Noel Hopkins was telling the truth... 33 00:03:02,552 --> 00:03:05,793 If Francis Neill was really on his way to meet Noel, 34 00:03:05,793 --> 00:03:08,952 then maybe he was still holding Liam somewhere. He planned to go back. 35 00:03:11,353 --> 00:03:14,873 What is it? A case Powell told me about. 36 00:03:14,873 --> 00:03:19,473 Marc Dutroux, a Belgian paedophile, kept his victims locked up. He was arrested for something else. 37 00:03:19,473 --> 00:03:24,912 Nobody knew about the girls, and they died of starvation while he was in police custody. 38 00:03:24,912 --> 00:03:30,753 Look, we've been running the grid for two days, and we're no closer to finding him. 39 00:03:30,753 --> 00:03:34,232 And this Francis Neill, We don't even know who he really is. 40 00:03:34,232 --> 00:03:36,672 If Noel Hopkins was telling the truth... 41 00:03:36,672 --> 00:03:38,873 I wouldn't hold on to that hope too hard. 42 00:03:50,072 --> 00:03:52,833 'You don't have children of your own, do you? 43 00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:54,993 'No. Does that tick one of your boxes?' 44 00:03:54,993 --> 00:03:58,353 From my limited understanding of your field, Mr Powell, 45 00:03:58,353 --> 00:04:01,512 plenty of paedophiles have children of their own. 46 00:04:01,512 --> 00:04:03,753 And you've never thought about it, 47 00:04:03,753 --> 00:04:07,193 all those sexed-up teenagers around you every day? 48 00:04:08,312 --> 00:04:10,953 Do you know why I could never be a paedophile? 49 00:04:10,953 --> 00:04:14,912 No, Headmaster. Tell me. I wouldn't want to bring the job home with me. 50 00:04:17,352 --> 00:04:22,752 That's your thing, isn't it? Make jokes, disarm, screw with people. 51 00:04:22,752 --> 00:04:28,032 Do you think it's appropriate in this situation? No. I don't think ANY of this is appropriate. 52 00:04:28,032 --> 00:04:32,753 I thought your training was to help you to think like a paedophile, not like a child! 53 00:04:32,753 --> 00:04:35,993 Blame the unmarried headmaster, who was working in the sweetie shop?! 54 00:04:35,993 --> 00:04:40,113 God, you're barely a neurone above the idiots who firebomb some woman's house 55 00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:43,552 cos they don't know the difference between a paedophile and a paediatrician. 56 00:04:43,552 --> 00:04:45,792 You really think I threw Liam Neill under a train? 57 00:04:45,792 --> 00:04:50,513 No. Finally! Because it wasn't Liam on the tracks. 58 00:04:50,513 --> 00:04:53,592 It was Liam's uncle. 59 00:04:53,592 --> 00:04:57,913 Francis? Francis Neill's dead? Yeah. 60 00:04:57,913 --> 00:05:00,912 The man YOU said was coming to meet you. 61 00:05:00,912 --> 00:05:03,032 And Liam? He's still alive? 62 00:05:04,073 --> 00:05:05,553 Is he? 63 00:05:08,592 --> 00:05:12,513 You knew about this. What kind of sick game are you playing? 64 00:05:14,072 --> 00:05:16,352 So, I can go. 65 00:05:16,352 --> 00:05:18,432 Oh, I see! 66 00:05:18,432 --> 00:05:22,793 I killed Francis Neill, to cover my nefarious tracks, 67 00:05:22,793 --> 00:05:26,472 then lured you to a fictitious meeting. Good theory. 68 00:05:26,472 --> 00:05:31,513 Do continue. So, what? I'm running some sort of diabolic paedophile ring 69 00:05:31,513 --> 00:05:33,593 out of a high school in Hillingdon? 70 00:05:35,552 --> 00:05:39,153 I asked you if you knew this man. 71 00:05:39,153 --> 00:05:42,233 I didn't. And I still don't. 72 00:05:42,233 --> 00:05:46,833 Funny. He knows you. He came to your school in the summer break, 73 00:05:46,833 --> 00:05:49,512 looking for odd-jobs - a handyman. 74 00:05:49,512 --> 00:05:51,712 Your secretary remembers him. 75 00:05:51,712 --> 00:05:54,353 She said he asked for you by name. 76 00:05:54,353 --> 00:05:57,272 I don't remember seeing him. He said you were old friends. 77 00:05:57,272 --> 00:05:59,513 From Maidstone prison. 78 00:05:59,513 --> 00:06:04,233 I did some outreach education programs there, yes. 79 00:06:04,233 --> 00:06:06,672 Got him through his Maths GCSE. 80 00:06:11,433 --> 00:06:14,672 Edward? Eddie. Right? Do you know what he was in for? 81 00:06:14,672 --> 00:06:16,672 Burglary, or something. 82 00:06:16,672 --> 00:06:19,392 Hmm, "something", actually. 83 00:06:20,393 --> 00:06:24,672 18 counts of aggravated sexual assault on a boy of ten, to be precise. 84 00:06:25,913 --> 00:06:30,953 So, convicted sex offender, who you taught, comes to live in this area, 85 00:06:30,953 --> 00:06:32,913 comes to your school looking for a job. 86 00:06:34,512 --> 00:06:38,072 What's this got to do with Liam Neill and Michael Edwards? 87 00:06:38,072 --> 00:06:40,553 Eddie Stokes was Francis and Liam Neill's landlord. 88 00:06:40,553 --> 00:06:43,552 Liam Neill, who you enrolled, without records, at your school 89 00:06:43,552 --> 00:06:45,792 one month after Eddie Stokes came to visit you. 90 00:06:45,792 --> 00:06:51,032 Good story, isn't it? Did you meet anyone else at Maidstone? 91 00:06:51,032 --> 00:06:56,512 I met plenty of people at Maidstone and Pentonville and Luton and Wandsworth... 92 00:06:56,512 --> 00:06:58,953 I'm not thinking about an inmate - someone closer to home. 93 00:06:58,953 --> 00:07:03,473 Home Office Pastoral Care Initiative 1993. He was a volunteer. 94 00:07:03,473 --> 00:07:05,592 You're talking about Danny Edwards. 95 00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:11,112 The stepfather of Michael Edwards, who died running away from his abuser two days ago. 96 00:07:12,832 --> 00:07:17,633 So, the convicted sex offender, the dead abused boy's father 97 00:07:17,633 --> 00:07:23,112 and the headmaster, all friends together at Maidstone Prison. 98 00:07:23,112 --> 00:07:28,472 It all seems a little more "appropriate" now, doesn't it? 99 00:07:38,393 --> 00:07:42,672 I've got a job to do, and this isn't it. I'm not asking you to judge him. 100 00:07:42,672 --> 00:07:48,792 You look up to him. It's why I hope he'll talk to you. You're his pupil. He's not that stupid. 101 00:07:48,792 --> 00:07:53,472 He wants to talk to someone. He needs validation. 102 00:07:53,472 --> 00:07:56,032 Look, they distort everything. 103 00:07:56,032 --> 00:08:00,552 They don't think that what they do is bad, and you've got to treat him like you agree. 104 00:08:00,552 --> 00:08:04,832 Do YOU agree? Is he evil? I've only ever seen him do good. 105 00:08:05,912 --> 00:08:08,192 Good and evil? 106 00:08:08,192 --> 00:08:12,113 What are you - a Sunday School teacher? 107 00:08:12,113 --> 00:08:16,313 I've been dealing in this stuff for 15 years. There's no black and white here. 108 00:08:16,313 --> 00:08:25,152 My job is to find out what shade of grey he is. 109 00:08:28,472 --> 00:08:31,473 I'm sorry, Noel. They need a DNA sample. 110 00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:45,672 What can you tell from that stuff? More and more every day. 111 00:08:47,273 --> 00:08:50,912 Whether you're more likely to die of liver failure or colon cancer, 112 00:08:50,912 --> 00:08:52,872 where your ancestors came from, 113 00:08:52,872 --> 00:08:54,633 how fat your children will be. 114 00:08:54,633 --> 00:08:58,032 Or whether I might be a closet child abuser? 115 00:09:07,152 --> 00:09:10,032 You're wondering, aren't you? What? 116 00:09:10,032 --> 00:09:13,112 What really happened. 117 00:09:13,112 --> 00:09:16,713 If you know anything about Francis or Liam, you've got to tell them. 118 00:09:16,713 --> 00:09:20,232 Or tell me. I'm not talking about that. 119 00:09:20,232 --> 00:09:25,032 I'm talking about you and me. You've begun to ask yourself, haven't you? 120 00:09:25,032 --> 00:09:31,112 Why I came after you 121 00:09:33,353 --> 00:09:36,352 A pretty 15-year-old girl...? 122 00:09:36,352 --> 00:09:39,953 Remember I put my arm around you? 123 00:09:39,953 --> 00:09:42,353 Held you all the way home. 124 00:09:43,913 --> 00:09:46,032 Do you think it was a turn-on for me? 125 00:09:46,032 --> 00:09:48,352 Was it? 126 00:09:50,233 --> 00:09:53,513 Nikki with the two Ks and the heart above the I, 127 00:09:53,513 --> 00:09:56,753 the thing about us paedophiles is that generally we have a type. 128 00:09:56,753 --> 00:10:01,353 And if they're right about me, you were the wrong sex, and four years too long in the tooth. 129 00:10:01,353 --> 00:10:05,313 Why are you doing this? We don't have to ask why YOU'RE doing this, do we, Nikki? 130 00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:08,073 You always had a crusade, even then. 131 00:10:08,073 --> 00:10:10,032 What was it? The Amazon tribes? 132 00:10:10,032 --> 00:10:12,273 Save The Whales? 133 00:10:12,273 --> 00:10:17,632 I heard you volunteered for an AIDS hospital in South Africa. And now Liam Neill. 134 00:10:17,632 --> 00:10:19,953 Why is he so important to you? 135 00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:21,873 He's a 12-year-old boy, Noel. 136 00:10:21,873 --> 00:10:26,313 He's not YOUR boy. You didn't give birth to him. You didn't teach him. 137 00:10:26,313 --> 00:10:29,113 You didn't even know him. No. 138 00:10:29,113 --> 00:10:33,632 He's just another one of your causes, to make you feel connected. 139 00:10:35,353 --> 00:10:37,673 But it's not just that, is it? 140 00:10:39,032 --> 00:10:42,592 It's the innocent child. 141 00:10:42,592 --> 00:10:45,632 Motherless, fatherless, lost. 142 00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:49,592 It's YOU you're looking for. 143 00:10:49,592 --> 00:10:52,313 The lost child. 144 00:10:54,033 --> 00:10:56,712 Oh, but you're too late. 145 00:10:56,712 --> 00:11:01,512 That child's gone. It's not me you should be angry with. But I AM angry with you, Nikki! 146 00:11:01,512 --> 00:11:06,792 You know me! And even you think I'm that monster! I don't think you're a monster, Noel. 147 00:11:06,792 --> 00:11:11,513 You're still the good pupil. Did Torquemada tell you to say that? But I don't know if you're lying to me. 148 00:11:11,513 --> 00:11:13,872 You better check that out on the DNA test. Now get out! 149 00:11:22,793 --> 00:11:25,193 DOOR CLOSES, LOCK CLUNKS 150 00:11:25,193 --> 00:11:29,472 You can't have known the truth about him. It's hard enough to know the truth about yourself. 151 00:11:30,592 --> 00:11:32,832 You've been questioning Michael's father? 152 00:11:32,832 --> 00:11:34,793 He's completely in Hopkins' thrall. 153 00:11:36,432 --> 00:11:41,352 His wife said he moved the family in to this area because he wanted his stepson to attend Hopkins' school. 154 00:11:41,352 --> 00:11:46,313 Stokes together at Maidstone Prison. 155 00:11:46,313 --> 00:11:50,392 And Danny himself admitted dropping Liam off at Stokes' building on more than one occasion. 156 00:11:50,392 --> 00:11:54,033 He's the weak link. The acolyte. 157 00:11:54,033 --> 00:11:57,593 Without the others, he could lead us straight to Liam. 158 00:12:04,913 --> 00:12:07,593 Where are you going? Train-spotting. 159 00:12:07,593 --> 00:12:12,593 Leo want to look for little bits of Francis Neill all along the Wessex Mainline. 160 00:12:12,593 --> 00:12:14,233 How did it go? 161 00:12:15,672 --> 00:12:21,113 Are you OK? Why does everyone keep asking me that? I never ask you that and mean it. 162 00:12:21,113 --> 00:12:25,632 Embarrassing as it is, we are good friends, aren't we? Besides the jokes. 163 00:12:25,632 --> 00:12:32,832 The very silly jokes. Actually, the really rather brilliant jokes, but, you know, you can talk to me. 164 00:12:32,832 --> 00:12:37,272 I've always been pretty good in a crisis, haven't I? Is that what this is? 165 00:12:37,272 --> 00:12:39,833 What have you found? Has he said anything? 166 00:12:39,833 --> 00:12:44,073 Yeah. For a man with no jaw and very little brain matter, he has been quite eloquent. 167 00:12:44,073 --> 00:12:49,032 We found traces of tartrazine, beloved of hyper-active children everywhere, on his tongue. 168 00:12:49,032 --> 00:12:52,913 And vodka - cheap vodka - on his clothing. 169 00:12:52,913 --> 00:12:55,113 And we also found this. 170 00:12:58,032 --> 00:13:00,672 He shaves. So do you, sometimes. 171 00:13:00,672 --> 00:13:02,552 It is not from his chin, Nikki. 172 00:13:04,832 --> 00:13:09,312 Perhaps you should get out more. Perhaps you should stay in more! HE LAUGHS 173 00:13:09,312 --> 00:13:10,873 It's not just his genitals. 174 00:13:10,873 --> 00:13:14,912 As the skin has shrunk back, it is clear that he's shaved almost all of his body hair. 175 00:13:14,912 --> 00:13:17,632 Perhaps we should check the local cycling clubs. 176 00:13:17,632 --> 00:13:22,193 Or the fetish clubs. I found make-up and lubricant in his bathroom cabinet. 177 00:13:24,552 --> 00:13:31,033 They used to think you could SEE evil. The bumps on the head, the horns under the hairline. 178 00:13:31,033 --> 00:13:32,913 Hmm. Are you sure you're all right? 179 00:13:35,153 --> 00:13:39,912 I'm going, I'm going! Just going now! Gone, now gone! 180 00:13:49,792 --> 00:13:56,192 Excuse me. Just take a look, see if you recognise him. Thank you. All the best. 181 00:13:59,952 --> 00:14:01,512 Doctor Cunningham. 182 00:14:03,792 --> 00:14:08,712 I knew it wasn't him, the body they found on the train tracks. How did you know? I prayed about it. 183 00:14:08,712 --> 00:14:12,792 That normally does the trick, does it? It never hurts. 184 00:14:12,792 --> 00:14:14,873 I know you'll find him. 185 00:14:14,873 --> 00:14:18,033 "On the third day He rose again from the dead..." 186 00:14:19,272 --> 00:14:21,513 Have you finished dissecting Michael yet? 187 00:14:21,513 --> 00:14:25,632 We want to bury our son. It's not up to me, I'm afraid. 188 00:14:25,632 --> 00:14:29,993 But you must know now what happened to him, how he died, what he suffered. 189 00:14:29,993 --> 00:14:31,793 They won't tell me, or his mother. 190 00:14:31,793 --> 00:14:34,073 He drowned - that's all they said. 191 00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:39,712 It was quick. The water was cold. He wouldn't have suffered much. 192 00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:43,313 Thanks, Dr Cunningham. I feel so much better now. 193 00:14:43,313 --> 00:14:44,913 CAR HORNS BEEP 194 00:14:46,432 --> 00:14:48,032 Shit. 195 00:15:02,752 --> 00:15:07,712 What are we doing here? SOCA have crawled over this entire area with a toothbrush. 196 00:15:07,712 --> 00:15:11,793 They didn't find any other clothing. We found very little blood. 197 00:15:11,793 --> 00:15:15,432 Most of Mr Neill's bodily fluids are going to be plastered over the nose 198 00:15:15,432 --> 00:15:18,153 of the 12.15 to Merthyr Tidfyl... There's still plenty missing. 199 00:15:18,153 --> 00:15:21,393 Brain matter, most of his mandible, several of his extremities... 200 00:15:22,793 --> 00:15:25,233 I don't think this was the point of impact. 201 00:15:30,033 --> 00:15:34,912 Leo! Trains are not unlike rivers. Bodies can be dragged for quite a distance. 202 00:15:34,912 --> 00:15:39,633 The three-foot gap between the track and the undercarriage is the perfect place for the kinetic frictions 203 00:15:39,633 --> 00:15:42,953 of an Intercity train to hold a body in situ, 204 00:15:42,953 --> 00:15:47,592 and then when the speed changes at a corner or junction, it spits it out like a bloody cherry stone. 205 00:15:47,592 --> 00:15:50,272 A very bloody cherry stone. 206 00:15:57,672 --> 00:15:58,993 Harry! 207 00:15:58,993 --> 00:16:02,832 What have you found? A pound coin. 208 00:16:02,832 --> 00:16:05,193 Really? A human tooth. 209 00:16:11,353 --> 00:16:15,153 Yeah. Second permanent molar, if I'm not much mistaken. 210 00:16:15,153 --> 00:16:19,913 How far up is the line closed? Up to the next junction, about 150 yards. They'll have to extend the closure 211 00:16:19,913 --> 00:16:23,793 if they want to find out how Francis Neill died. They're stretched as it is. 212 00:16:23,793 --> 00:16:28,713 If we can find out where he hit the track, we can also find out how he got here, and if he was with anyone. 213 00:16:28,713 --> 00:16:30,912 What, you think Hopkins killed him? 214 00:16:30,912 --> 00:16:32,513 Or Danny Edwards? 215 00:16:32,513 --> 00:16:34,793 I don't know and I don't care. 216 00:16:34,793 --> 00:16:38,912 The fusion of the epiphyseal plates indicate a fully grown adult male. 217 00:16:41,033 --> 00:16:46,752 There appears to be evidence of an historic fracture in the right arm, 218 00:16:46,752 --> 00:16:48,832 TWO places in the right arm. 219 00:16:51,193 --> 00:16:53,112 Also in the pelvis. 220 00:16:59,353 --> 00:17:04,352 The fractures are consistent with scarring, again historic, on the back and lower side of the abdomen. 221 00:17:07,152 --> 00:17:09,152 Where they wouldn't be seen. 222 00:17:10,313 --> 00:17:12,993 So it happened to you too. 223 00:17:12,993 --> 00:17:15,473 'It's been going on since the Greeks' 224 00:17:15,473 --> 00:17:19,632 but we've chased it underground. It's not as if you can go down the pub, is it, Eddie, 225 00:17:19,632 --> 00:17:21,552 chat about it with your mates? 226 00:17:22,673 --> 00:17:24,912 Nothing to say? 227 00:17:25,992 --> 00:17:28,553 Well, you have a think about it. 228 00:17:31,032 --> 00:17:34,193 I'm going to get some food. Do you want some? 229 00:17:34,193 --> 00:17:39,353 Division have asked me to go back to the original search area, policy my decisions. 230 00:17:39,353 --> 00:17:42,112 But we KNOW he's not there. 231 00:17:44,512 --> 00:17:47,072 It's not about that now. 232 00:17:47,072 --> 00:17:50,112 They're covering their arses. 233 00:17:50,112 --> 00:17:52,192 Maybe you should think about doing the same. 234 00:18:07,073 --> 00:18:10,353 What, no tears, Eddie? Had Francis become the weak link? 235 00:18:10,353 --> 00:18:14,432 I was with you lot when he got killed. I don't mind identifying the body. 236 00:18:16,553 --> 00:18:20,352 HE VOMITS I thought you two were friends. Who was he? Get it away. It stinks! 237 00:18:20,352 --> 00:18:22,392 Will I let you go, huh? 238 00:18:22,392 --> 00:18:25,272 Let whoever did this to Francis do the same to you? 239 00:18:25,272 --> 00:18:26,952 We need to find the boy. 240 00:18:26,952 --> 00:18:29,273 Where did he take him? Where did he go? 241 00:18:29,273 --> 00:18:31,152 Stop this! What is going on? 242 00:18:33,552 --> 00:18:36,552 This is not a freak show! I'm very sorry, Dr Alexander. 243 00:18:36,552 --> 00:18:41,193 I was hoping to get a positive ID, from the only man who knew him. You knew what state this body was in! 244 00:18:41,193 --> 00:18:43,833 It must have slipped my mind. 245 00:18:45,753 --> 00:18:49,832 What the hell were you thinking? I needed to get him out of his comfort zone. 246 00:18:49,832 --> 00:18:52,553 You got him to vomit over his own shoes. 247 00:18:52,553 --> 00:18:56,152 Look, Stokes didn't kill Francis. He was in custody. But he's the link. 248 00:18:56,152 --> 00:18:59,072 He knew each of them individually - Hopkins, Edwards. 249 00:18:59,072 --> 00:19:03,473 Powell reckons Stokes recruited Francis Neill. Because Francis had Liam. Neill was the perfect partner. 250 00:19:03,473 --> 00:19:07,392 He had access to a child and he was a clean skin. He'd never been arrested, 251 00:19:07,392 --> 00:19:12,313 he wasn't on the PNC or the sex-offenders register, otherwise we'd have his fingerprints, his DNA. 252 00:19:12,313 --> 00:19:14,513 We'd be able to ID him from that. 253 00:19:14,513 --> 00:19:21,393 If I had a photograph to circulate, find out if somebody had seen him, trace his movements... 254 00:19:21,393 --> 00:19:23,913 I don't even have his real name. 255 00:19:24,873 --> 00:19:29,073 What if I can get you a photograph? What, off Facebook? 256 00:19:29,073 --> 00:19:31,353 We could try a facial reconstruction. 257 00:19:31,353 --> 00:19:33,873 What from? Half his face is gone. 258 00:19:33,873 --> 00:19:37,353 It's tricky. A lot of the bone and cartilage is missing. 259 00:19:37,353 --> 00:19:42,193 But some of the facial musculature is there, and there is tissue. 260 00:19:42,193 --> 00:19:47,513 Every bone of the cranium is bilateral, so I can copy it where one side is present. 261 00:19:47,513 --> 00:19:51,673 If I can physically build on what's here, use the biometric modelling... 262 00:19:51,673 --> 00:19:54,872 It would be a start. How long? 263 00:19:54,872 --> 00:19:58,473 There's no need tell me it's urgent. A day? 264 00:19:58,473 --> 00:20:00,433 Twelve hours. 265 00:20:03,912 --> 00:20:07,673 Oh, did you ever manage to track him down - Adam Garner? 266 00:20:07,673 --> 00:20:12,873 Your old schoolmate? We've been trying, but I suppose all this publicity's sent him underground. 267 00:20:12,873 --> 00:20:17,352 Not even the tabloids have managed to get hold of him. He was short, 268 00:20:17,352 --> 00:20:19,593 fair skinned, same sort of age. 269 00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:23,112 I just wonder... You think that could be Adam Garner? 270 00:20:23,112 --> 00:20:25,193 It's a long shot. 271 00:20:26,752 --> 00:20:30,353 Francis Neill told Noel Hopkins he blamed him. 272 00:20:30,353 --> 00:20:32,673 He told him he thought it was all his fault. 273 00:20:34,272 --> 00:20:39,312 Maybe you could find me Adam Garner's medical records. A recent photograph, even? 274 00:20:39,312 --> 00:20:42,912 You get me the reconstruction, and then we'll see if the faces match. 275 00:20:42,912 --> 00:20:44,352 PHONE RINGS 276 00:20:44,352 --> 00:20:46,793 Sorry. 277 00:20:46,793 --> 00:20:50,313 Leo? 'Is Gallagher there?' Yeah. 278 00:20:56,033 --> 00:20:58,073 There it is. 279 00:20:58,073 --> 00:20:59,712 Arterial spray. 280 00:20:59,712 --> 00:21:04,032 How do you know? It could be an animal, a fox, a badger... Badgers don't wear trainers. 281 00:21:05,953 --> 00:21:10,712 Jesus. Right, get onto the train companies. They have nose and tail cameras, 282 00:21:10,712 --> 00:21:15,833 pull everything for this section of track. We should be able to find out how he ended up on the line. 283 00:21:16,952 --> 00:21:21,873 We have the school, the river where Michael went in, the ill-fated Hopkins rendezvous. 284 00:21:21,873 --> 00:21:26,432 And here, where man met train. We can refocus our search, but it's still eight square miles. 285 00:21:26,432 --> 00:21:31,673 A search could take another week. It's like a sick jigsaw. Someone's stolen all the corners. 286 00:21:31,673 --> 00:21:35,112 It's now 11:30am on the third day. 287 00:21:35,112 --> 00:21:39,673 On the third day, he rose again... Sorry? Danny Edwards said it this morning. 288 00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:43,152 I don't suppose his prophesy came with any co-ordinates? 289 00:21:43,152 --> 00:21:49,073 Where the hell are you? You see, Detective Gallagher, even YOU are starting to believe he's still alive. 290 00:22:22,473 --> 00:22:25,872 I don't know what I'm looking at. It's there. 291 00:22:27,273 --> 00:22:31,313 Is that him? Did someone push him? He looks like he's alone. What's he doing? 292 00:22:31,313 --> 00:22:36,033 Maybe he's getting ready to jump. Watch this. This is from the tail-camera of the same train. 293 00:22:36,033 --> 00:22:39,993 So he waited for the train to pass. He's crossing now. Then, what...? 294 00:22:43,193 --> 00:22:45,472 This is the nose camera 295 00:22:45,472 --> 00:22:48,513 The 10.45 to Bristol Temple Meads. 296 00:22:48,513 --> 00:22:51,473 It was going the other way. 297 00:22:51,473 --> 00:22:54,792 Jesus. The driver didn't see a thing. 298 00:22:54,792 --> 00:22:56,352 It was an accident. 299 00:22:56,352 --> 00:22:59,433 He was crossing the tracks to go to his meeting with Hopkins. 300 00:22:59,433 --> 00:23:01,833 So Hopkins was telling the truth? 301 00:23:01,833 --> 00:23:06,233 About that, maybe. At least now we know which direction he was coming from. 302 00:23:06,233 --> 00:23:11,033 He probably planned to head back there afterwards. And the boy's trapped there, waiting for him. 303 00:23:11,033 --> 00:23:15,193 It might be like your Belgian case. The guy doesn't come back, two girls starve to death. 304 00:23:15,193 --> 00:23:18,953 It's not just that. I've got the initial tox report on Francis Neill. 305 00:23:18,953 --> 00:23:23,433 His body tested positive for tetracynadine at very high levels. 306 00:23:23,433 --> 00:23:28,593 What, the stuff you found on Michael? The Berricane? Right, let's get onto the Environment Agency. 307 00:23:28,593 --> 00:23:32,112 They test the Colne Valley for pollutants, and their soil samples 308 00:23:32,112 --> 00:23:36,873 will show any abnormal chemical levels. 72 hours. There's a hell of a lot of Berricane out there. 309 00:23:36,873 --> 00:23:40,192 Find the Berricane, find the boy. 310 00:24:12,432 --> 00:24:15,392 We're not even close to exhausting possibilities. 311 00:24:15,392 --> 00:24:18,273 I need more men, more equipment. 312 00:24:18,273 --> 00:24:24,032 Well, what about if we bring in Army S and R? They've got technology we don't have access to. 313 00:24:25,152 --> 00:24:28,352 And you think resources are better employed there, huh? 314 00:24:28,352 --> 00:24:32,032 What, a bigger story, is it? What's the matter - press losing interest? 315 00:24:32,032 --> 00:24:35,192 Yeah, you do that. You get back to me. Is it true? 316 00:24:35,192 --> 00:24:36,953 It's not like I had a choice. 317 00:24:36,953 --> 00:24:41,273 Francis Neill's death was an accident, and we don't have anything on him for Michael Edwards. 318 00:24:41,273 --> 00:24:44,832 So he walks, scot-free? Scot-free?! 319 00:24:44,832 --> 00:24:46,993 You reckon? 320 00:24:46,993 --> 00:24:49,592 THEY ALL CHATTER 321 00:24:59,952 --> 00:25:01,953 Shouldn't you be in chemistry, Wayne? 322 00:25:18,473 --> 00:25:21,233 What the hell are you doing here?! 323 00:25:41,873 --> 00:25:44,352 I heard they released you. 324 00:25:44,352 --> 00:25:48,072 Yeah. Turned me over to the mob. 325 00:25:48,072 --> 00:25:50,472 Do the police know about this? 326 00:25:50,472 --> 00:25:55,553 Huh! It gives you faith in the National Curriculum, though. 327 00:25:55,553 --> 00:25:58,593 Spelling standards have definitely improved. 328 00:25:58,593 --> 00:26:03,753 You need to get those windows boarded up. At least they've got the guts to say what they're thinking. 329 00:26:03,753 --> 00:26:08,953 What are you doing here? Go home, Dr Alexander, back to your crypt. 330 00:26:08,953 --> 00:26:10,272 Adam Garner. 331 00:26:11,873 --> 00:26:15,393 What? They haven't been able to locate him. 332 00:26:15,393 --> 00:26:21,393 Do you want to check under my patio? Please. I'm just wondering... You met Francis Neill. Oh, this again. 333 00:26:21,393 --> 00:26:24,793 Could Francis Neill be Adam Garner? 334 00:26:24,793 --> 00:26:29,873 Why? Because he wanted to get his own back on you...? He has. 335 00:26:29,873 --> 00:26:32,592 I've been suspended. Again. 336 00:26:32,592 --> 00:26:35,913 They had no choice after the arrest. What did you expect? 337 00:26:35,913 --> 00:26:40,113 Er, the support of my colleagues and my friends? 338 00:26:40,113 --> 00:26:43,832 I'm not accusing you, Noel. I'm just trying to help find a missing boy. 339 00:26:43,832 --> 00:26:48,873 I haven't seen Adam Garner since I left Abbots, 16 years ago. 340 00:26:48,873 --> 00:26:52,832 As a rule, I prefer not to see my former students again. 341 00:26:52,832 --> 00:26:55,752 It tends to be a bit of a disappointment. 342 00:27:03,153 --> 00:27:07,993 They don't specifically list Berricane, but they list various chemical anomalies. 343 00:27:07,993 --> 00:27:13,752 I'm just trying to cross reference with European sites where they've positively identified Berricane. 344 00:27:19,673 --> 00:27:22,512 We're all so quick to blame, aren't we? Hmm? 345 00:27:22,512 --> 00:27:25,312 The strange ones, the ones that don't fit in... 346 00:27:25,312 --> 00:27:27,593 religious nutters... 347 00:27:29,193 --> 00:27:33,192 Danny Edwards? He wanted to know what happened to his stepson, and I thought 348 00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:36,352 it was strange. Didn't want to tell him. 349 00:27:36,352 --> 00:27:40,433 But a couple of days ago, I thought it was strange that he DIDN'T want us to do a PM. 350 00:27:42,153 --> 00:27:46,152 What could be more normal than wanting to know what happened to your son? 351 00:28:15,153 --> 00:28:17,513 TV IS ON 352 00:28:19,152 --> 00:28:21,913 Pervert!
