No!

I saw him kill her.

Max Carlton. He's dangerous. Screw that.

How about we catch the bastard instead?

You have to get someone there right away. He's gone into an alleyway.

It's a blind spot. None of the cameras cover it.

There's nothing in there but rubbish.

You know there's something wrong here!

He stopped his men from searching that last bin.

He made sure they didn't find the missing woman's body.

We shouldn't be here.

Hello? MAN: 'You've been looking for me.'

I just want you to leave me alone.

Argh!

DOG BARKING

What have you done?

This is not Max.

I killed someone.

SHE SOBS

POLICE CHATTER, CAMERAS CLICK

HE SIGHS

Shit.

You missed a bit.

There you go.

What am I gonna do, Simon?

Well...

You have to go to the police.

God, no!

I saw Warden meeting in secret with Max Carlton.

If he locks me up, God knows what will happen to me.

Well... OK, OK,

we'll go to another police station, somewhere they don't know him.

I can't spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder.

And you can't spend it hiding from the police.

No.

What you doing?

Look...

The man who just attacked me, I stole his phone.

You stole a dead man's phone?!

It's not like he's gonna be bloody using it, is it?

What do you need with the thing?

I thought maybe it has Max's number.

A way to contact him.

Max and the dead man, they must be linked.

Great (!) And you can tell him where you are, and he can kill you.

For God's sake!

SHE SIGHS

SHE SIGHS Shit.

What?

There's no saved contacts.

Texts, call history, all deleted.

Good.

You can stay away from that psycho.

I can't.

This all kicked off when I saw Max on the CCTV.

If anyone can call off the dogs, it's him.

You think you can make a deal with him?

What other choice do I have?

I'm gonna need your help.

Have you seen Hannah this evening?

Er, no. Why?

Well, there's been a serious incident

involving a local drug dealer.

Shit. Is she OK?

I dunno.

She took off.

But we suspect she killed him,

and I need to bring her in for questioning.

H-Hannah?

Yes.

SHE LAUGHS

Er... What? How?

The incident occurred around a cleaner's house.

A Dolly Fletcher. Do you know her?

Er, yeah, everyone on the Hawthorn knows Dolly bloody Fletcher.

What is the story with Mrs Fletcher?

She's a nasty piece of work. DOOR OPENS

She loves stirring things up just for the sake of it.

Hi, Mum.

Have you seen Hannah, love?

Why?

I think you'd better sit down.

Sooner or later,

the police are gonna think to come here and use the cameras.

I need you to keep them off me until I've sorted things with Max.

I don't think I can do that.

I realise you probably never had a single detention in school,

but I need you to embrace your inner rebel.

Come on, please.

For me.

Hannah...

Shit, they know I'm here. I'm sorry. Well...

Well, they said...

What the hell, Simon?!

Well, they called and said you were in trouble

and-and that I had to keep an eye out on you.

So you told them I was here?!

Well, when I saw you outside on the cameras...

You bastard!

You can't keep running from this.

Well, I can't defend myself if I'm locked in a cell.

They're all in on it!

You're gonna make it worse.

If you give a shit about me, you'll buy me some time.

Help me while I sort out this mess!

If you don't, I guess I know where we stand.

Don't put me in that position.

I thought you were my friend!

I am.

Then act like one!

CAR PULLS UP, SIREN STOPS

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

I can't believe it.

Do you have any idea why she may have run off?

Yeah, if she's hiding,

it'll be because she thinks she's doing the right thing.

I think maybe...

Amber could do with something to calm her nerves.

Yeah, of course.

Did you enjoy the film?

You saw us?

What the hell were you doing there?

Indulging Hannah.

She wasn't too happy to find out

you were hanging out with Max Carlton.

Listen, it's important that you don't tell anybody what you saw.

Who'd care?

Just another bent copper. Nothing special.

It wasn't what it looked like.

Yeah, right.

That wasn't Max Carlton.

Then who was it?

A man called Jim Dove.

D'you know him?

Did Hannah follow him when he left the cinema?

No.

Why?

Because not long after...

..she killed him.

PHONE VIBRATING

AMBER: 'Thank God. The police are here.

'They said you'd been killed by Hannah.'

Jim?

What the fuck, Amber?

What the fuck, Amber?

'Oh, my God. Hannah?'

How the hell did you get this number?

Look, I can explain.

'The man who owned this phone just tried to kill me.'

Just meet me.

Not until you tell me what's going on.

'I will. It's not what you think.' Who's Jim?

The guy I was seeing, all right?

'He attacked me wearing a mask!' Look...

I know what you did.

'I know you killed him.'

I didn't really have much choice.

The bastard was trying to strangle me at the time.

'The police are looking for you.'

Let's meet. I can explain everything.

Just you and me, I promise.

'Jim was my boyfriend.

'But you're like my sister.'

I'm not gonna turn you in.

Please.

All right.

Thank you.

Where? 'Greenwood Hospital.'

We ought to put out a statement condemning violence and all that.

But we need to reassure people that it was just an isolated incident.

Yeah, I'm on it. Good.

Jesus.

Hannah's in trouble, and your first thought

is to put out a press release?

Look... Look, I know it's shitty, love,

but I really should say something publicly about it.

Don't you even wanna speak to Hannah first?

Find out what really happened?

Oh, we'd love to. Where is she?

How should I know?

Yeah, that was kind of our problem.

Look, where are you going? To get some air.

Before I go crazy.

There's something else.

Dolly Fletcher phoned the office again earlier.

Christ.

What did she want? You tell me.

I can't protect you if I don't know what's really going on.

Nothing.

You know I've got a military-grade bullshit detector, right?

I did something stupid.

HE STARTS ENGINE

SIRENS

You came alone.

Promised, didn't I?

I don't want Mum knowing about me and Jim.

Why not? He seemed like a keeper (!)

Why here?

Cos nobody notices someone in a wheelchair.

Is your phone off?

Course.

They can trace it otherwise.

I know. I've watched telly before.

Jim was no saint, but...

I never thought he'd try and hurt you.

Are you all right?

Should have seen the other guy.

Too soon?

Don't fucking joke about it.

The bastard tried to kill me. I refuse to feel bad about him.

Why were you with someone like that?

It was just a bit of fun.

Your mum would lose her shit if she knew you'd been with a dealer.

That was part of the appeal.

Knowing it would piss her off if she found out.

If attention's what you wanted,

there's better ways to get it than hooking up with a psycho.

You never mentioned him.

Not once.

Normally, when you meet someone, you won't shut up about them.

I'm allowed a private life, aren't I?

He wasn't even your type.

It wasn't me.

He must have followed me here. Yeah, sure.

Go, I'll keep him busy.

Get out of my way. This is harassment.

You can't just go following me around.

And I can arrest you for obstructing police. Go on, then.

PHONE RINGING DS Warden.

WOMAN: 'Sir, the suspect has turned her phone on.

'Sending tracking data.'

Thank you.

Stay out of this.

PHONE VIBRATES

WARDEN: 'You there?' I'm here.

Look, I know that you're frightened, but we can sort this out.

'Don't flatter yourself. You don't scare me.'

I saw you at the cinema. You're as bent as the rest of 'em.

Hannah...

Look, if I tell you something,

you're gonna have to promise

that it will stay between the two of us. Deal?

Sure, why not?

OK, that man that you saw in the cinema,

he's been trying to pay me off.

And you let him?

No. He left that money for me at the station.

I gave it to him back,

and I told him that I couldn't be bought.

'Do you think I'm an idiot?'

I know that you're not.

Now, did you kill that man because you thought he was Max Carlton?

That was the man who I...

'Yes.'

I know you didn't mean to hurt anybody.

Come back to the station with me and we can work this out.

No, I don't trust you.

You'll let Max's cronies get to me.

Look, I am one of the good guys, believe me.

Funny how it's usually the bad guys who feel the need to say that.

Why were you demoted?

How d'you know about that?

Cos I can read and I'm not stupid.

All right. I had an undercover officer

embedded in a drugs operation in south London.

One of the gang members became suspicious.

The officer contacted me and asked to be taken off the investigation.

But you left him there?

'We just needed a little more evidence.'

What happened to him?

We found his body on some waste ground a week later.

'Everybody rightly blamed me.'

I lost my job, my family.

He lost his life.

I thought he'd be all right.

I was wrong.

So Max Carlton's been getting a free pass

cos you've been sitting round feeling sorry for yourself?

No.

I'm gonna bring him in.

If only you'd spent as much time on that as you have on finding me, eh?

Gotcha! NURSE GASPS

What the hell do you think you're doing?!

I'm here on police business.

HE SIGHS

'Judging by your silence, I'm guessing you found the phone.'

Well played.

Are you going after Carlton?

'You will get yourself killed.'

Well, that's my problem.

I don't know whose side you're on, but it's not mine.

Wait.

There's something you don't know...

about the night that Zoe was killed.

'You were right.

'There was a witness. They saw what happened.'

Help!

Help!

'But they refused to go on the record.'

Now, you turn yourself in...

maybe you and I can convince them to talk.

Why? Who was it?

'Tell me.'

Dolly Fletcher.

KNOCKING

DOG BARKS

How did you know I'd be here?

Your house is a crime scene, and you've got no friends.

Where else were you gonna go?

Not too popular yourself right now.

I ain't got long.

Have the police come looking here for me yet?

Why would they?

Your name came up.

For God's sake!

You've already killed a man on my best rug.

Just leave me out of all this.

It's too late for that.

Come here, love. Come on.

You saw Max kill Zoe.

Who told you that?

Tony Warden.

Put him down.

It was you I called out to that night, wasn't it?

Here, Wolf. Answer me!

How could you come and work for me after that without saying anything?

I didn't know what else to do.

I saw your advert and thought at least it was something.

So instead of getting him banged up,

you thought you'd come and empty my bins?

What's wrong with you?

You don't go ratting on people to the police!

Especially about somebody like Max Carlton.

But you were gonna.

Why?

Couldn't keep lying once I saw what he'd done to you.

Wanted to put it right.

I went to the police.

How come your statement isn't on the record?

This young WPC,

she put me in a side room while I were waiting.

Sat me down with a nice cup of tea.

Offered me a biscuit. Proper one, too, with chocolate.

Oh, I don't care about the bloody biscuit!

Next thing I know,

I'm being offered money to forget the whole thing.

Who by?

Warden?

No. Someone else.

Who?

Your friend the councillor.

Louisa?

Why?

I-I don't bloody know.

I just took the money and kept my trap shut.

Please don't hurt Wolf. He's all I've got.

Then tell me how to find Max before the police get here.

I don't know where he is!

Bullshit! You know everything that goes on around here.

He's ruined tougher people than you.

The ones who really upset him, he keeps alive.

Well, that's better, isn't it?

No. Not for them.

You might be a pain in the arse,

but I don't want you being fed through a tube

for the rest of your life. Nor do I.

But unless I can persuade him to back off,

it's only a matter of time.

I don't know where he is these days.

He used to come in here sometimes,

but I had as little to do with him as I could.

There was always something... broken in him.

What about his friends?

He doesn't have any friends.

People he worked with, then.

SHE SIGHS

Look...

If you're really determined to get yourself killed,

try The Red Lion. Ask for Chris.

Who's he?

One of Max's suppliers.

Should be able to contact him.

See?

Wasn't that hard.

Wolfie! Wolfie.

Oh, pup, come to Mummy.

If you go into that pub...

you might not come out again.

Well, then, you can write "Told you so" on my gravestone.

MUSIC AND CHATTER

Looking for Chris.

Clear off.

I wanna talk to you about Max Carlton.

Who are you, the police?

Yeah, wheel cavalry.

I was told you know how to get in touch with him.

Seen you round the Hawthorn, haven't I?

I'm quite conspicuous.

HE SNIGGERS

Yeah, you know that cop, don't you?

Tony Warden.

In fact, I seen you two together the other day.

He sent you in here, has he?

No. He doesn't know I'm here.

Is it, yeah?

Perhaps I should tell him.

No.

He's after you, in't he?

I'm only messin' with you, darling.

I'm no snitch.

You play pool?

I know how to point a stick and hit a ball,

if that's what you mean.

Get 'em racked up, then. I'll buy you a drink.

I just want his number. Yeah.

And I wanna get to know you first, OK?

So, lager all right?

Sure.

Give us two of the same, please, love.

Have you seen Hannah this evening?

You've just missed her.

And you didn't think to stop her?

Do you know how old I am?

Where'd she go to? How should I know?

She wasn't best pleased to see me.

You've been telling stories.

It's not like I had to make anything up, is it?

And DC Osborne tells me you refuse to make a statement

about what happened at your house tonight.

That's getting to be a bit of a habit with you.

They wouldn't let Wolf in the interview room.

He's a dog!

This is a murder inquiry. Get your priorities straight.

Hannah...

is in a lot of trouble.

And you might be able to dig her out of some of it

if you actually do the right thing this time.

Come on, Wolfie. We'd better go with the nasty man.

Hey, not bad.

So, Max's number.

I lost it.

HE CHUCKLES

You don't really know him, though, do you, darling?

Sure I do.

Dagger tattoo on his wrist.

Yeah, but...

you're not one of his girls, are you? You're not...

not like Ruby and the rest of 'em.

Or like Zoe was.

I didn't know her.

Heard she had a nasty accident, though.

It was no accident.

Apparently, she got in a little bit of trouble

trying to help out a girl who was...

a little bit like you, really.

What are the chances of that?

Look, it's more than my life's worth

to give you a way for the police to trace down Max.

They wouldn't know what to do if they got him.

I just wanna talk, that's all.

Got balls, you have -

coming in here on your own. I'll give you that.

Then just give me his number and I'll leave you in peace.

And what are you gonna do? Cause a little scene?

Please.

You sound desperate, darling.

That's a terrible place to negotiate from.

Tell you what...

I am feeling charitable.

Cos of your...

Oh, go fuck yourself.

HE LAUGHS

I like a woman with a bit of fight in her.

Makes things a bit more exciting.

You know what, I'm feeling a bit reckless,

so how's about you win this game and I'll give you Max's number.

For real? Mm.

Oh, I don't welch on deals, love. It's bad for business.

And if I lose?

Oh...

That's the best bit.

That's when you give me what I want.

All right.

You hustling me, are you?

No.

Just not shit at pool.

HE SNIFFS

So, what is it you want with Max's number?

Got some information he might be interested in.

About a woman who disappeared last week.

Oh, yeah? What's the information?

Like I'm just gonna tell you.

Max wants it, he can pay for it.

Pfft. Fair enough.

HE SNIFFS

I just need someone to go on the record

and tell me your side of the story. A press officer, a trained chimp.

Whoever you've still got kicking about at this time of night.

WARDEN CLEARS THROAT

Er, Andy, would you find DC Osborne for me? Tell him...

Mrs Fletcher here has had a change of heart.

Actually, he's dealing with my request first.

Er, I'll make sure there's a room available.

It's always a pleasure, Geri (!)

Won't be a moment.

Any reason you're still sitting there doing nothing?

I'm waiting.

Well, that's saved me a trip.

What do you want?

Did you tell Hannah about the money Louisa gave you?

I had to.

So, here's what happens next.

In a few hours, my colleagues in the housing department

will get into work.

Then I'm going to pop over and have a little word with them

about section 43c of your tenancy agreement.

What you talking about?

The rules of the house you sponge off the council.

You're not allowed to keep pets.

That can't be right.

Well, I know it is.

Because unlike you, I went to school and learnt to read.

So, by this time tomorrow, you'll have two options.

Get rid of that rabid mongrel...

or piss off and live somewhere else.

It's win-win, as far as I'm concerned.

You can't do that.

You broke the deal, so you didn't give me a choice.

Although, to be honest,

I'd have done it anyway, for the LOLs.

I'll tell them what Louisa did.

And admit your part in it?

I don't think so.

You opened your stupid gob. This is the result.

Come after me and I'll end you.

You do anything else to make Louisa look bad...

and this is just the beginning.

You're going to be turned into sausages, you lucky thing!

WOLF GROWLS

What's the delay?

Not bad, kidder.

TYPING ON PHONE

What you doing?

You said you wanted to speak to Max, so...

I'm texting him, telling him to come meet us here.

Here?

That's not what we agreed.

You promised... You don't get it, do you?

See...

You were dead the moment you rolled through them doors.

You know, Max had to skip town for a year cos of you.

You're just lucky he didn't finish you off

like he did your mate before he left.

Why didn't he?

Didn't think you were worth it.

I suspect he will have formed a different opinion

by the time he gets here.

I don't feel right.

Oh, darling...

It's OK.

It's just a little something to help you relax.

What have you done to me?

You see...

Sometimes, it takes old Maxie boy a while to reply,

so I thought, in the meantime,

me and you could get to know each other a bit better.

You bastard.

HE SNIGGERS

Yeah.

Probably am.

So, I will, er...

text...

I, erm...

Oi! Oi!

HE SNARLS

HE LAUGHS

You switched the drinks, didn't you?

Yeah, sorry about that.

HE COUGHS, GROWLS

TEXT SENT TONE

Unlike your girlfriend...

I know when I'm being screwed.

HE GROWLS

SIREN WHOOPS

She's not coming back to the estate.

Don't lie. You're not good at it.

That one, put it on the main screen.

You care about her, don't you?

So?

So, there is no happily ever after here.

If you don't help me get her off the streets now

and she finds Max Carlton, he will kill her.

Bravo Oscar three.

Suspect is about to enter Mistletoe Lane.

Please intercept.

MAN: 'Received and understood. We're less than a minute away.'

There are cameras on Mistletoe Lane.

Er, yeah. Well, come on, then.

Hang on...

Where'd she go?

She was coming from Acorn Avenue, right?

Er, she was.

Well, that's right there, so where is she?

I-I don't know.

Bravo Oscar three,

please give visual confirmation that suspect is in Mistletoe Lane.

'Now approaching.'

SIRENS APPROACH

'Negative, no visual on the suspect.'

Bravo Oscar three. Please give your location.

'Mistletoe Lane.'

Put the live feed on now!

Sorry, speak slower?

Don't pull that shit with me. That is old footage!

Put the live feed on now, or I will arrest you.

TYPING

'No, suspect's not here.'

If she gets hurt because you messed me around,

I will make sure that you pay for it.

This isn't a game.

There she is. Zoom in.

What's she saying?

How should I know?

You lip-read. What did she just tell you?

Why are you letting her throw her life away?

Because I trust her. She'll know what she's doing.

You saw what he did to Zoe Mason. Do you think he'll hesitate

to do that to Hannah if he gets his hands on her?

Don't test me. Wind it back and tell me what she said.

What did she say?

The community centre.

Why?

She wants...

She wants me to keep the cameras off her while she gets there.

All units, suspect is heading to the Hawthorn Community Centre.

BREATHING HARD

Max send you?

No. Then how did you find me?

Hunch.

You knew we were with your friend Simon.

I guessed that he'd lie for you just to throw us off the trail.

Then I thought, whatever you were planning,

you would end up in this place.

I got Max's number. Told him to meet me here.

If he sees you, he'll run.

You've done really well, Hannah, but I can take it from here. No way.

Is that how you intend to deal with him?

What else can I do?

I can't let you hurt him.

No matter what he's done. Oh, he'll be here soon.

You've already killed somebody.

I'm gonna have to arrest you.

I'll tell Max not to come.

You won't do that. You want him locked up as much as I do.

Try me.

Hannah Quinn, I'm arresting you for the murder of Jim Dove.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence...

PHONE RINGS

PHONE CONTINUES RINGING

PHONE CONTINUES RINGING

SCRAPING

A body?

I TOLD you! I said he killed her!

It isn't a woman. What?

It's Max Carlton.

Who was the woman on the CCTV? I don't know.

If you want me to believe that you weren't involved in any of this,

then give me something to go on.

The police are gonna charge me with destroying evidence.

Well, let it go.

Obsessing over all this has given you nothing but misery. I can't.

Please. I'm in big trouble.

Remember this day, dear.

It's when your whole life started to fall apart.

What's that girl gone and got herself involved in now?

She's covering the tracks of the woman we believe killed Carlton.

Does the name Ruby mean anything to you?

But you and I are not done.

Warden's after you.

Need to ditch your phone. We need to leave.

I need back-up. I am in pursuit of a suspect.
