She wasn't lax -
she had four locks on the door.

Is that just a mother being careful?

She let him in.

Maybe she knew him. Or trusted
his appearance - a badge or uniform.

It was like that. Fuse has gone. See
if you can get it back on, will you?

I need Grace to talk to her. This
beer's still cold. I've two sets
of fingerprints on the bottle.

These are very good, Kirsty -

these men you draw.

Do you know this man?
Have you seen him?

Do you know who it is?
Do you know him?

Boyd, the DNA on Joanna's note
matches the sample I found
on the beer bottle in Elaine's flat.

Whoever took the note off the Gold's
door, 13 years ago, was in Elaine's
flat last night. That's right.

Ethnicity?
We can't eliminate the possibility
that the owner is white or Asian.

Lawyers will drive through "can't
eliminate". It's the best I can do.

Is it a million to one? I can't give
you odds. OK. Nod your head, then.

Don't push me! What?

Ethnic inferencing is bound by
legal caveats. I'm not minuting

every conversation we have!
Frankie, the DNA... Listen to me.

The DNA matching changes everything.

OK. The DNA I've recovered
is 30 times less likely to be found

in a Caucasian population than in
people of Afro-Caribbean or African
descent. Just leave it there, OK?

Somebody called about Elaine.

I...I can't believe it.

She was so lovely.
Joanna and Elaine

were killed by the same person.
It's obvious. It's possible.

David...

Excuse me.

When did you last see Elaine, Clara?

Yesterday.
Were you planning on telling me?

I only wanted to talk to her
about Joanna. But why now?

I've got something to show you.

I really feel I shouldn't be here.

Are those Joanna's dresses? Yeah.

I wear them sometimes.

What do your parents make of that?
Dad says it comforts Mum -

like looking at a photo
when you miss someone.

It can make it worse, too.

She wore this on her 18th birthday.

She looked so beautiful. I can't
believe I'm nearly the same age as
she was. I still feel like a child.

But, maybe if I found her...

Will you help me?

I'll try. Promise?

I promise. Is that
what you were going to show me?

What?

Three tickets
to Who Framed Roger Rabbit,

3rd April...

1989.

That's you?

Joanna?

Mark?

Who? Clara? Who?

(Hide them! Hide them!)
Who?

Mr Gold. What're you doing in here?

We were looking for
some pictures of Elaine.

We don't have pictures. Shouldn't
you be out trying to catch her
murderer? That's what I am doing.

Yesterday, we thought this
was over. You told us it was over.

I'm sorry.

I'd like you to leave now.

This will never stand up in court,
but I've got somewhere with Kirsty.

Right. She said, "A man came
to see Mummy before it went dark."

She tried to draw him, but pointed
to Spence through the window.

At a black guy? Yeah. Now, that fits
with the DNA on the bottle

and Garvey's story
about the man he saw with Joanna
on the day she disappeared. Right.

Can you get anything else
out of Kirsty? I don't know.

This is what
I hate most about this job.

We stir up a hornet's nest,
and a young man's in intensive care

and a girl's lost her mother. Yeah.

MOBILE RINGS

Boyd.

It's me. I need to see you.

How did you get this number?

OK. Um...do you want to come here?

I can't -
my parents don't know I'm calling.

Right.
No, I'll find it.

Yeah. Bye.

Who was that?
Social call.

Since when did you have
a social life? I won't be long.

Tell me about these.

Before Joanna went missing,
she took me to the cinema

with some guy I'd never seen before.
He was about her age and black,

but I don't remember his name.

After, he took us to this posh
hotel for tea. He was really funny,

and me and Joanna got the giggles
and they had to ask us to leave.

But when we got home, she made me
promise never to tell anyone.

How old were you? Five.

That afternoon
was my last clear memory of her.

She was so happy.

I know I should've told someone
before... But you promised her.

You're the first person. Did you go
to Elaine's to find out who he was?

She told me she didn't know,
but I didn't believe her. Why not?

She looked scared.

Then I found this.

That was the badge Joanna
was wearing when she disappeared.

Elaine showed me pictures of Joanna
from this drawer full of old stuff.

She was obviously hiding something.

So, when she went to answer
the phone, I had a look for myself.

Ice cream!

Morning, Frankie. You get me any
coffee? Yeah, right(!) I've found
oil and fibres on Elaine's shirt,

and I've got some results back
on the weapon. What is it?
Something like a hunting knife.

What's this? Elaine Ashcroft's
phone records. She made two calls
between our visit and her death.

One was to the caretaker, the other
was to Heist Entertainment. I'm
just trying to find out who owns it.

Charlie? Yeah.

Where are you? Meet me
at the warehouse in half-an-hour.

I could dig out guest lists, if
it's any use? What is this, Spence?

Tell me about Elaine. Your
direct line - Heist Entertainment.

How d'you know her?
She came to the club.

What about her friend?
Her friend? Joanna Gold.

She had a black boyfriend.
It wasn't me.

Are you sure, Charlie?
I mean, both good-looking, popular.

People usually get
what they had to start with.

Did you know she had a kid?

..Elaine?

What d'you mean she HAD a kid?

POLICE SIRENS

What the hell were you thinking?
I want to talk to him. Forget it.

You ask me again
and you're off this investigation.

The Commissioner's watching and,
suddenly, you're Mr Straight Bat!
Do as I say, not as I do.

Why did Elaine call you?

You'd been to see her about the
missing girl. Elaine was worried
you might connect it with my club.

Why should she be worried?

She knew me from the old days.

Did you go to her flat?
I wanted to put her mind at rest.
What are you - a bloody saint?

It wasn't because Elaine knew about
your relationship with Joanna Gold.
I never met Joanna Gold.

Have you seen this note before?
It has unidentified male DNA on it.
Is it yours?

We have testimony
from Joanna's sister, Clara.

She went to see a film with Joanna
and a black friend.

Don't tell me that's admissible!
Why shouldn't it be? Because she...

Because she was a kid.
I didn't say that.

You were about to. Says who?

Do you want out of here or not?

Do you know
what Clara said about that day?

She said
they had a fun time with this guy.

They went to a smart hotel,
had tea and they had a real ball.

It's the memory she has of Joanna.

She'd never seen her so happy. Was
that you, Charlie, or someone else?

I met Joanna

at the club...

March '89.

First thing she told us was her old
man was away for a week on business,

which meant she could go out
in the evenings.

She was buzzing, man.

She was just talking, talking...

I fell for her right then.
Was it mutual?

Yeah. You became lovers?

So you began a relationship which
lasted until...her disappearance.

Tell me about that day.

We'd...um...

We'd had a row the night before.

I got fixated on her
never telling her parents about me.

Why hadn't she? I dunno.

She said it wasn't cos I was black,
but I...

I didn't believe her.

Anyway, I...um...

I decided to introduce myself.

When I got there, no-one was in.

That was on the front door.

Go on. Well, I...

I thought it meant...

she was still seeing her ex, Mark.

So I ripped it down...

..and went to look for her.

There she was...

..coming down the path. OK.

Don't tell me any more.

I'm innocent!
No, you're not.

You were the last one to see Joanna
alive and you kept your mouth shut.

So this is where you ran into her.

I was waiting by the ice-cream van.

She said
she had something to show me.

She...um...brought me inside.

This is where we came out.

Did you confront her about
the note? No, not straight away.

I was just so pleased to see her.

Was she pleased to see you?
Yes, she was.

We started kissing.
You're doing well, Charlie.

What d'you mean? This is where
they found the ripped up note.

Who ripped it up?

She did.

What, to show you it meant nothing?

I suppose so.

BOYD: Tell me about the nosebleed.
What?

Well, you were kissing the girl
you love, and then you gave her
a nosebleed. How did that happen?

Who told you that? Why did you
hit her? Because of the note.

But you were kissing her. Yeah. I...

Suddenly, I thought,
I'm being used here -

I'm being fobbed off.

How do you know all this?

Someone was watching us!

It was the last time I ever saw her.

So she just disappeared? You said
someone was watching. Ask him!

I'm asking you. You've no idea
where she went? No, I don't!

Like Alice in Wonderland,
she fell down a hole.

That's where she went.

To see Alec Garvey.

She could've been worried about the
blood on the dress. Garvey did it?

No, but she goes there,
pours out her heart and...

changes out of the dress.

OK, Charlie,
do you want to take a seat?

No. I want to talk to him. No! Boyd
wants to talk to him about Joanna,

but Elaine was her ticket from
Hampstead to Harlesden. We know.

If Elaine thought Charlie was
guilty, why protect him? Fear - I
don't know! No! Charlie's a softie!

Just look the other way, Mel.
No, Spence!

Spence!

Am I going to get you
into trouble...like the old days?

Why didn't Elaine tell the police
about you and Joanna? I don't know.

No, no. No way. Not good enough.

How well did you know her? I just
saw her when she was with Joanna.

Ah, an acquaintance, then, yeah?
Yeah.

Why was she so sure
you were innocent? I don't know!

I'm trying to help you, Charlie!
She saw something. She found
something. WHAT?! I don't know!

I think she knew who killed Joanna.

And you never asked the obvious
question? She wouldn't tell me!

Bullshit! Look, that was the deal!

She didn't tell the police
about me, and I didn't ask why.
I'm not lying!

When you went to see Elaine,

did anyone see you arrive or leave?
I don't think so.

Wait. I think I passed a caretaker.
I tried.

Describe him?
A white guy in a boiler suit,

baseball cap pulled down.
He had a tool box with him.

Go home, Spence. Charlie
saw a man with a tool box coming
from the basement. I don't care.

Frankie found oil
on Elaine's shirt. Charlie
didn't know that. Did you tell him?

At the flat, the fuse had tripped.
I put it back on in the basement.

Your point? That's how he got in. He
trips her fuse box, then turns up.

He says he's checking the building.
She won't know it's just her lights
that have gone. Can you prove this?

She wouldn't have just sat there -
she would've called somebody.

Her last call was to the caretaker.
That's what the killer planned!

Night! Goodnight.

I'm all done here.
Do you want to go and eat?

No...

I've got too much to do.

Chance of a lifetime?

No.

OK.

Thanks, anyway. Yeah.

PHONE RINGS

Boyd.

OK. I'll come and get her.

It's my birthday. Right.

Here, is this cool? No,
this is cool. It's an honour, really.

How old are you?

Eighteen. Eighteen? That's
a big one, that, isn't it? Mm-hm.

Shouldn't
you be celebrating with friends?

All my friends are bored of me.

It's OK. I'm bored with them.
What did you do on your eighteenth?

God, I don't know...

Um...

I went to see a band with
my girlfriend, I seem to remember.

Wandered round Victoria,

and ended up...sitting
by the river and getting cold.

Sounds romantic.

I've thought about you a lot today.

Is that silly?

You look like you've
swallowed a brick. No, I'm...

I'm flattered. Really. Sure.

Why wouldn't I be?
You're a beautiful girl.

With my whole life ahead of me?

Birthday kiss?

Sorry.

No, look, Clara...

I don't mean to upset you.

You can't keep looking for Joanna
forever.

She wouldn't want you to.

No, she probably wouldn't.

You've got your own life...

..To lead. I know. But I can't...

Not yet. What d'you mean?

Can I see her dress? ..Please?

Now, don't touch anything.

Let me put it on.
Don't be ridiculous. It's evidence.

Please?

No.

Absolutely not, Clara.

Why do you want to put it on?

Someone's following me.

It's been months now.

Who? I've never seen his face.

I think it's Joanna's killer.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Because I didn't trust you.

Let's go to the Heath. No, Clara!

We'll pretend I broke in and stole
it. Get away from the dress! Sit!

What are you going to do -
arrest me?

Please, I just want it to be over.
What makes you think
he'll be there tonight?

I just know.

Not good enough.

I've been on that Heath every night
for the last six months - I know
him. But you've never seen him.

You don't believe me.
Why should I believe you, Clara?

I've heard him. I've felt him.

He was there
when we met in the church.

Sometimes he's there
when I come out of school.

I can feel his eyes on me.

Once I almost caught him.

Do exactly what I say. Understand?

Exactly.

He's here.

A TWIG SNAPS

HURRIED FOOTSTEPS

Charlie, call me
if you get this message. ..Boyd!

We've lost Clara.

What?

She went out two hours ago.
She's not answering her phone.
Let's go inside.

It is only 10.30. You think I'm
overreacting? I didn't say that.

You're right. I'm too protective.
I'm sure you have your reasons.

Part of me thinks, it couldn't
happen twice. Life couldn't be that
cruel. But then I think why not?

Life's not accountable, you can't
appeal to it, you can't say -

that's wrong, I've had more than my
share. So I panic and I phone her.

It drives her mad, I know it does.
She's young, she wants to be free.

It's her birthday today. Right.

You really think she's safe?

Yeah, I'm sure she is.

You've no idea what it's like to
lose a child. I know what it's like.
I lost my son when he was 16.

How did he die?
Dad, it's me. Sorry I'm late.

Clara!

I lost track of time.
It doesn't matter. You're safe.

I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed.
..Goodnight, Mr Boyd.

Goodnight, Clara.
Thank you...for the drink.

Thanks. Yeah.

WINDOW OPENS
Catch!

Who did you talk to about Joanna's
nights out with Elaine? Why?

Well, Elaine's dead, Leah, and
we need to explore the connections.

I see.

My husband, David and Clara.

How did your husband react?
He was very angry.

Upset. ..I don't blame him.

I understand
that on the day Joanna disappeared,
you gave Elaine the night off.

Yes. Was Saturday night
her usual night off?

No, we'd all arranged to have
a pizza, as it was David's birthday.

It was David's birthday on the day
Joanna disappeared? Yes. Why?

No reason.
I just didn't know, that's all.

It got to 7pm
and Joanna still hadn't come home,
so we cancelled the pizza

and David had a tantrum.

It can be difficult
having outsiders around.

But Elaine wasn't an outsider -
she was David's nanny.

Yes... Well, she must have seen him
having tantrums before.

Of course. Perhaps it was
more than just a tantrum.

David has chronic pancreatitis.

And after he'd finished smashing up

one of our
favourite photographs of Joanna,
he downed half a bottle of Vodka.

David had pancreatitis at 13?
It's not always induced by alcohol.

Oh, I see. So, in David's case,
it's hereditary.

He got it from his father.
I had to take him to the hospital
to get his stomach pumped,

and I called Benjamin at 10.45,
just before we left,

and he told me the news.

He'd got in touch with Mark Kaufman,
and he hadn't seen Joanna all day.

Then, when David and I got home,

the police were there.

Thanks for your help. Bye.

I've traced the oil.
It's produced by Pendrid Chemicals.

It's used in miniature engines.
Their clients are mostly industrial,

but outside of that, it's model
enthusiasts - boats, cars, planes...

David Gold. He collects remote
control cars. We've got a visitor.

I killed her.

I killed Elaine!

I killed Elaine!

I killed her!

We've tested the blood
from your overalls.

It's Elaine Ashcroft's. Yes.

Did you kill Elaine Ashcroft?

Yes.

When I saw Clara wearing the badge,
I knew she'd seen Elaine.
What badge?

Joanna's smiley-face badge.

The one she was wearing
when she disappeared? Yes.

I kept it in my drawer, but Elaine
found it. This was in 1989?

Yes.

That's why Elaine left us.

Where did you find it, David?

I took it from Joanna.
Where was this?

In the kitchen.
What was Joanna doing?

She was lying on the floor.

Was she alive or dead?

Dead.

This was on your 13th birthday.

Was it before or after your mother
took you to the Royal Free hospital?

After.

What about your parents?

Dad persuaded Mum to take a pill.

He said that
Joanna would be home first thing,
with her tail between her legs.

But then I heard her come in.
I went downstairs and told her
she'd ruined my birthday.

She was drunk.

She started teasing me...
I lost my temper.

What did you do? I hit her.

What with?
I can't remember. How many times?

I can't remember.

Where's Joanna's body, David?

Please don't tell me
you can't remember.

BOYD: Let's talk about...Elaine.

I told you. She found the badge...
and thought you'd killed Joanna.

But she never acted
on that suspicion.

So why did you kill her?

She'd kept quiet all this time...

..so why kill her?

You won't get any more out of him.

Does Benjamin Gold drink alcohol?

Yes. You sure? I've seen him drink.

Well, in that case,
I don't think he's David's father.

Thanks for coming in, Mrs Gold.
Can we dispense with the niceties?

Delighted to.
Is Benjamin David's father?

Why do you ask? Because people with
hereditary pancreatitis don't drink.

David's father was the headmaster
of Joanna's primary school.

How did the relationship begin?

He contacted me because he thought
Benjamin was pushing Joanna too
hard - getting her coaching lessons,

buying her next year's text book
and so on...

It seemed
that the more he wondered at Joanna,

the less he thought of me.

I'm not making excuses.

Who, in the family,
knows about David?

Everyone. His father turned nasty,
and we didn't want the children
finding out in the playground.

It must have been very hard for you.
It was. Especially for Benjamin. How
did he find out about the affair?

He caught me in flagrante.

He'd been following me for months.

Her skull has fractures consistent
with blows from a blunt implement.
All the blows were from behind,

and any one of them could have
killed her. Something's bugging me.

In the video, David looks
about 5ft 1". Joanna was 5ft 7".

The fractures, and the force
suggest someone taller and stronger.
She could have been sitting down.

Well, yeah, that might explain it.

It's not impossible David killed her.
No. Where does that leave us?

Her clothes are '60s design - a
white raincoat, a Mary Quant dress.

She must have borrowed
some of Mary Garvey's clothes.

Alec Garvey's
regained consciousness. Is he OK?

Yes. They won't let us interview
him till the morning. Right.

Frankie...

there's something we're not seeing.

I don't agree. I don't think David
murdered his sister. So why confess?

Don't underestimate David's desire
to please - a need for recognition.

But David knew
where Joanna was buried.
Knowledge doesn't make him guilty.

So where did he get the badge?

Let's go back to the evening
that Joanna disappeared.

David's mother
takes him to the hospital at 9pm.

Elaine's gone out, leaving Benjamin
and Clara alone. Clara was only five,
so she would've been in bed. Yeah.

After repeated attempts, Benjamin
gets through to Joanna's boyfriend.

Ex-boyfriend - Mark Kaufman.

Mark says that he hasn't seen Joanna
all day. That was 10pm, right?

No, no, that's one minute past.
The call lasted
four minutes and 37 seconds.

37 seconds. So what time's
the call to the police? Hmm...

10.40.

So he waited...40 minutes...

..to raise the alarm. Why?

Leah called from the hospital. That
was after he'd called the police.

Sir?
I'm sorry, Boyd,
but I want Joanna Gold's remains

and all the evidence you HAVEN'T
compromised handed over to my men.

On what grounds?

- Do I have to spell it out?
- Why not?

You took Clara Gold for a midnight
stroll in her dead sister's dress...

Shall I go on?

I have to ask you to clear your desk.
Tell me this isn't true!

Who told you?

- Who told you?
- It doesn't matter.
- I have a right to know.

Listen, Peter, just let it go, yeah?

Dad told me you lost your job. I
didn't tell anyone about the dress.

I know. What do you want, Boyd?!
I have a few outstanding questions.

This is no longer your case.

Let's do that. Right.

I'd like to speak to the
Commissioner. It's Benjamin Gold.

Ken, Boyd has just turned up
at our house.

Of course.
..He wants to speak to you.

HE CLICKS PHONE OFF

When Joanna ran off,
she was wearing that badge.

Ice cream!

But when we exhumed the body,
it wasn't there.

Elaine found the badge in David's
drawer, but where did David find it?
You already know the answer to that.

I know what he told me.
Is David innocent?

I love these things.

My boy had one of these -

used to play with it all the time.

Did David play with these
when he was a kid? Yes. Why?

I think he was playing in here,

when he found the badge.

Whoops.

Maybe he found it under there -
I mean, everything goes
under the fridge, doesn't it?

He didn't know what to do, so he hid
it in his drawer and Elaine found it.

She must've thought that
this poor boy had killed his sister,
which is why she left in a hurry.

She didn't go to the police
because she felt sorry for David -
she saw the way you treated him.

I get on fine with David.
But you don't love him.

Clara, when you took the badge
from Elaine's,

the killer thought she'd given it
to you. But I didn't tell anyone I'd
seen Elaine. You didn't have to -

you were being followed.

Was it David that was stalking me?

Who told you
I let Clara wear Joanna's dress?

Dad? Last night, you pretended
to be waiting for Clara,
but you knew where she was,

because you've been following her.

Ben? I wanted to protect you.
Can you blame me? You've been
following me?! You don't understand.

Oh, my God!
Someone tell me what's going on!

I never forgave myself. I loved
Joanna, and I wasn't there for her.

I understand. Nobody finds it easy -
you devote yourselves to them,

then they leave you. I loved her -
I only wanted the best for her.

I mean, no-one chooses
who they fall in love with, do they?

Must have been agony for you -

the frustration, knowing she was
lying in the room next to you.

You must have been out of your mind.

And they're so beautiful at this
age - just before they leave you.

Not yet women, but...

no longer girls. Get away from her.

You say it's your wife
who wants Clara to dress like Joanna,

but it's you, isn't it?
It helps you believe
that Clara has taken Joanna's place.

And you're not going to let her go,
are you?

Well, you can't keep...
every man in the world at bay.

Dad?

Oh, Dad! Don't touch her!

The fractures on Joanna's skull
were inflicted from behind.
She was walking away from you.

No. Why was she leaving you?

What had you done? Did you
try and have sex with your daughter?

Did you try to make her yours?
Get out!

You were either going to rape her
or kill her, weren't you?
I didn't touch her!

I believe you.

I believe you.

I think the nearest you got
to touching her...
was when you killed her.

She came back, didn't she? When
David and I were at the hospital.

BENJAMIN?!

It was raining...

Her hair was wet.

She looked older...

..like a woman.

I asked her where she'd been
and she started shouting at me.

She...

She said...

she'd fallen in love with
a black man who ran nightclubs,

that she was going to...
live with him...

and never come home again.

I... I panicked...
I picked something up...

And you bludgeoned her to death.

I just wanted to keep her with me.

I...

I sat holding her for a long time.

When everyone had gone to bed...

..I buried her...

in the garden.

Does David's room look onto it?

Oh, he saw you.

He saw you bury her! OH!

Why didn't you give yourself up?

I...had to make up
for what I'd done.

I had to be strong for the family.

She knows the truth.
That's what matters.

Is it?

Sir...the Commissioner just called.

He wants to see you
as soon as you're done here.
