Help!

Come on, then.

[knocking on door]

[DS Warden] Hello, Hannah.

Would you like a coffee?

Would you?

Are you all right to begin?

For all the good it'll do.

Right.

This is a witness interview with Hannah Quinn,

conducted by Detective Sergeant Anthony Warden.

All right, Hannah, can you take me through what happened?

There was a man waiting for me outside my flat.

He attacked me.

Can you describe him?

He had a face mask with a skull on it.

Just like before.

So, you think this is the same man

that attacked you and killed Zoe Mason last year?

Yeah.

But you didn't actually see his face on this occasion?

No.

So, how can you be so sure?

He had a similar build, an identical mask,

and he tried to kill me.

So, unless I attract a type, I'd say it was the same guy.

Wouldn't you?

Any idea why he attacked you?

I assume 'cause of what I saw in the CCTV last week.

And what was that?

He took a woman into an alleyway and she never came out.

Getting back to what happened today.

What, no. This is important.

It was the same alleyway where he attacked me.

I know you have your theories

but I searched that location myself.

Barely.

No body was found

and there's been no report of a missing woman.

What, so she just disappeared into thin air, did she?

That's not what we're here to determine.

Let's not get caught up in some convoluted conspiracy, eh?

Now, let's take it

from when you got back to your flat.

[police sirens blaring]

Thanks for coming in and reporting this.

Well, where am I meant to go? He knows where I live.

Well, haven't you got some friends

you can go and stay with?

Well, Amber and Louisa might put me up

but I've got to go back the flat and get my meds.

So?

What if he's waiting for me to come back?

I'm not a taxi service.

You're not much of anything, as far as I can tell.

Sorry.

Just scared.

[eerie music]

How's your wife like it up north?

I'm sorry?

Your wife? You're wearing a wedding ring.

None of your business.

[Hannah] That door was wide open when I left.

Well, go on then.

I'm meant to call it in.

Give me strength.

Just.

Stay behind me, all right?

[DS Warden sighing]

Bastards.

This was my parents flat.

My safe place.

Kind of offended my laptop's so shit they didn't nick it.

[DS Warden] I'll drop you off at Louisa's,

I've got work to do.

Look.

This is the bin you didn't check properly last week.

And that's the top I saw the woman on the CCTV wearing.

So, if the top's in the bin,

where's the body?

Are you sure that's the right top?

If you'd bothered to check the footage, you'd know.

All right, leave it with me.

Good one.

I said I'll handle it.

Yeah, like you rushed to check the CCTV last week?

I didn't have the time.

I was up to my eyes in other cases and.

And what?

I thought you were a crank.

That was probably the first

honest thing you've said to me.

Get your things.

No.

I need to show you the footage.

I need to prove to you that's what she was wearing.

Will it shut you up?

Unlikely.

But you might get the warm fuzzies

for doing the right thing.

[suspenseful music]

I think they look good.

What?

Be honest.

I'm not sure about those photos anymore.

You look mums-y.

Well, that's the point. I'm a mum.

Yeah, but not in a good, MILF-y way.

Not in that photo, anyway.

You said, "honest."

Next time, pretend I didn't mean it.

Anything else?

Your daughter's weird friend

has got the police station on speed dial.

She's spouting off about a murder to anyone who'll listen.

Is anyone taking it seriously?

Course not.

I spoke to Tony Warden.

I hope you were polite.

Now, where's the fun in that?

Anyway, he says there's no evidence anything happened.

I think Hannah is just being a drama queen.

Yeah, poor thing. She's had a difficult year.

Well, that's very sad and all,

but we'd be screwed if someone really had been killed

after we put all those bloody cameras in.

Yes. Thanks for your astute political analysis.

Is there anything else I should know about Hannah?

I don't think so.

You've been distant since that woman phoned.

Dolly Fletcher.

What did she want?

Oh, nothing.

I can't protect you if I don't have all the facts.

She just wanted me to have a word

with somebody about her bins.

Yeah, thanks, Geri.

[suspenseful music]

Seen him on the cameras.

Something to do with the dealers.

He supplies them.

And all you do is nod at him?

Knowing what he is and proving it,

are two different things.

That's convenient.

It really isn't.

Give me that.

Who's sending you retirement cards?

Are you always this bloody nosy?

Keep your hair on.

It's just some of the lads down the station,

taking the piss.

They think I'm a bit long in the tooth.

That's what they think of you, is it?

What the hell is that?

What is your problem with me?

You don't do anything.

You've had a year and you still haven't got

the faintest idea who killed Zoe.

That's not true.

Have you ever heard of the name, Max Carlton before?

No. Who's he?

He's a dealer.

Smalltime conman.

And extremely violent, by all accounts.

And what of it?

I think he's the man that attacked you

and killed your friend, Zoe.

[ominous music]

See, I haven't been sitting on my arse all the time.

Why are you only showing me this now?

Because I've been gathering evidence against him.

Building a case.

And I didn't need you charging in on some crusade.

How do you know it's him?

He's about the right age

and build as the man you describe.

And,

he has tattoos.

A dagger on his wrist?

So, why isn't he locked up?

His disappeared the night your friend, Zoe was killed.

I'm guessing he went somewhere else

until the heat died down.

But, if he is back,

you have to keep a low profile.

He's dangerous.

Screw that. I've got a better idea.

What?

How about we catch the bastard, instead?

[car engine starting]

[suspenseful music]

This is the footage of Max and the woman

approaching the camera's blindspot.

It's the same.

I told you. We were right there, we could've found here.

Don't gloat.

And it's torn, there must've been a struggle.

So, the man who did this

is the one that just attacked you?

Yeah.

Well, how many people has he done this to?

He's only ever been sent down for minor offences.

That wasn't what he asked.

Too many.

Well, you grew up on the estate.

Yeah?

You've never come across him before?

Just 'cause I live here,

doesn't mean I know all the local villains.

Fair enough.

Look, is there any way that that could've been staged?

Put on, knowing that you were watching?

No, we swapped shifts last minute.

No one knew we were here.

Yeah, I had to storm the wizard's fortress, that evening.

You get used to it.

Well, it's not exactly a smoking gun.

But?

It's a start.

Don't get too excited, we've got a long way to go yet.

Yeah?

Come on, show me the rest of the recording.

[suspenseful music]

So, the budget meeting tomorrow.

If the councillor looks like

he's settling in for a monologue, I'll give you the sign.

What do I do when I see it?

Oh, ideally, shoot me in the head.

But I'll settle for anything that stops me

having to listen to him mansplaining how money works.

Hannah.

You all right?

Yeah.

Well, at least you weren't hurt.

Thanks.

[Louisa] Did Tony Warden drop you off?

Yeah.

She's, uh, got held up at college.

She'll meet us at home.

I'll just get my stuff.

Louisa Bradfield?

How do you know Dolly Fletcher?

She's my cleaner. Why?

She called here, earlier.

Seemed to upset Louisa.

What's that got to do with me?

They were talking about you.

Can't help you.

Louisa is trying to get herself reelected.

I can't have her distracted by whatever mess

you've got yourself involved with.

Sounds more like you're looking for a reason to be nosy.

Lou'll win by a landslide, just like last time.

Yeah, but we've got our eyes set on a higher prize,

and I won't let you screw that up.

Have the police found out anything

about that woman you claim was killed?

No.

Good.

You could at least pretend you give a shit.

Why?

Sorry about that.

I'm all done.

Yeah, I can lockup.

Thanks.

Night.

Night.

[suspenseful music]

Thanks for this.

Oh, don't be silly.

You can't go back to your flat

while that man is still on the loose.

Here.

Glass of water? Tea?

Nah. I'm good, ta.

Have you got anything plainer?

What does it matter?

You're going to sleep in it.

Not going clubbing.

That was kind of my point.

I'm up early, as I've a meeting at one of my hair salons.

But I'll leave my mobile on if you need me.

[Hannah] Thanks.

Night.

Night.

Have you heard of someone called, Max Carlton?

No.

Who's he?

He's the man who killed Zoe.

It's just, well,

he was a dealer.

I didn't wanna drag it all up,

but you must've bought from someone.

There were a bunch of people we'd use.

I didn't always get there names.

But you knew Zoe's family, right?

God, will you let it go?

That man Max was outside my flat.

So, unless you want me sleeping on your sofa

for the next decade, I need to get him off my back.

Or you could just leave it alone,

and hope that he goes away.

And of he doesn't?

What do you want with Zoe's parents?

If Zoe knew Max, maybe her parents did too.

Her dad won't talk to you.

I know.

But a friendly face might change his mind.

You know I loved Zoe to bits.

I wouldn't have the life I do now

if she hadn't got me into rehab.

But I don't wanna keep putting her family through it.

I understand.

You're gonna do it anyway, aren't you?

Course.

Fuck's sake.

[suspenseful music]

[knocking on door]

Hello, Mr. Mason.

Sorry to show up like this,

we just wondered if we could have a word?

You know Hannah.

What do you want?

I know who killed Zoe.

He's back on the estate, I've seen him.

[suspenseful music]

So, who is this bastard?

He's called, Max Carlton.

Have you heard of him before?

No.

Are you sure?

'cause when I came across him that night,

Zoe was helping him rob passersby.

I think what Hannah means,

is that Zoe didn't meet him for the first time that night.

Never heard his name before.

It was a long shot.

We should go.

Do you remember anything

about anyone she was hanging round with?

She didn't talk to me about her life.

Not since she started working in that caf.

Caf?

On Rose Lane.

That's where my cleaner, Dolly, works.

It was just a Saturday job, earn a bit extra.

She started a couple of months before.

Well, before.

What happened to her there?

Don't know.

But she fell in with a bad crowd.

She always spoke highly of you.

Zoe was a lovely person.

She helped me when I had some stuff of my own.

So, why did you let her throw her life away like that?

Sorry?

You were her friend.

She helped you.

So, why didn't you do the same for her?

I, I had my own stuff going on.

Zoe wasn't my responsibility.

That's not fair.

Fair?

You dare come here

and talk to me about fair?

I know you're grieving but we're trying to to help.

My beautiful daughter, dead.

For someone like you.

You can't tell me that's fair.

[Amber] That was a mistake.

He's just hurting. Looking for someone to blame.

But he's right.

I should've stopped Zoe getting involved with those people.

You were still sorting your own shit out

when she took that job.

She wasn't your responsibility.

But it was my fault.

What do you mean?

Dealer's weren't happy with Zoe for getting me clean.

I think they targeted her to punish me.

How?

Don't know the details,

but they obviously found some way of sucking her in.

She saved my life.

Some friend I was in return.

Why didn't you tell me this?

'cause I'm fucking ashamed.

All right?

Go home. Sort yourself out.

What are you gonna do?

Poke the hornets nest.

Hey.

They did this to her.

It wasn't your fault.

I need to talk to you about Zoe.

Don't know a Zoe.

She used to work here?

Oh, Zoe.

You've been coming round my flat for months

and you never once mentioned that you knew her.

You pay me to empty the bins and dust round the place.

The rest ain't my business.

Do you know who Max Carlton is?

Keep your voice down, will ya.

Did Zoe meet him when she was working here?

It's more than my life is worth

to start talking about Max behind his back.

Well, I'm not leaving til you tell me

what the score was between him and Zoe.

I'm in no rush.

He used to come in here sometimes.

One day, he took a shine to Zoe.

Knew she was broke, offered her some work on the side.

What kind of work?

Legit stuff, at first.

But then, gradually, more and more dodgy,

til she was trapped.

And you were all right with that?

I didn't let any funny business happen on the premises.

Once they were out that door, it weren't my responsibility.

Yeah, but you could've called the police.

He's got the police in his pocket, you stupid girl.

All I'd have done is got myself killed.

Kept out of it.

You should too.

[suspenseful music]

Amber'll meet us there.

Can't say she's thrilled about it.

We just need as many warm bodies as we can get.

She can talk about how draining beauty college is later.

I'm not sure I like you

talking about my daughter like that.

It only hurts 'cause it's true.

[knocking on door]

Tony.

Hi.

I'm after a favour.

What do you need?

I wondered if you wouldn't mind

looking through some council records for me?

What sort of records?

Whatever you've got under Max Carlton?

I wanna find out if he's been claiming any benefits.

Something that will show that

he's been active in the area recently.

You could find that out at the station.

Not without leaving a trail.

What're you playing at?

I don't wanna top anybody off

until I've got exactly what I need.

Yeah, that assumes we believe you're not bent, of course.

I know I'm no your favourite person, Geri.

At least Louisa's more reasonable,

and not such a pain in the arse.

Talk about being damned with faint praise.

We can't go giving out private information.

If you're legit, then go through the proper channels.

Louisa, this is to do with Zoe Mason's murder.

Oh.

Carlton was involved, I'm sure of it.

Tony, I would love to help.

But while I'm running for reelection,

I have to do things by the book.

Have a good afternoon, Tony.

I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Louisa.

I feel like I've just punched a kitten.

Ignore him.

Come on. You've an election to win.

[suspenseful music]

Are you sure you should be here?

I'm fine. Stop fussing.

Any fresh sightings of Hot Guy?

If you need anywhere to stay, with all this going on.

Amber and her mum are gonna put me up.

Oh.

You could do me a favour, though.

Get me a black Americano from the place down the road?

I always spill it when I go over the bloody curb.

[Simon] Sure.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Who is this?

[Max] You've been looking for me.

Max?

[Max] I don't like people nosing around in my business.

I just want you to leave me alone.

We can do a deal.

[Max] No deals.

You fuck with me, you pay the price.

What do you mean?

[Max] Watch the cameras,

I'm gonna get one of your friends.

What do you mean, "my friends"?

[Max] Hang up and I'll get another.

Call the police, another.

[Hannah] Oh god.

[Max] Don't think I won't.

Where are you?

[suspenseful music]

Stop, please!

What is wrong with you, you limp-dicked bastard?

[Max laughing]

I'll stop, I promise.

I'll tell the police I made it up,

that I just wanted attention.

[Max] Nice, clean flat you've got.

[Max laughing]

Oh no, Dolly.

I see you.

Please, don't hurt her.

[Max] Or what?

What do you want? I'll do anything.

[Max] Turn on your video.

There.

[Max] Delete the recording of me from last week.

The whole evening.

I don't know how to do that.

[Max] Stop fucking with me.

Delete it, permanently.

All right, all right.

[Max] Let me see.

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

Do it.

There. I've done it.

Please, don't hurt them.

[Max] Aw, it's too late.

No!

[Max] You got the message? Back the fuck off.

I hear you.

[Max laughing]

You ruined Zoe's family, you know?

Why'd you do that? What do you get out of it?

[Max] Don't make me call you again.

Where are you, Max?

Come on, come on, come on.

There you are.

Gotcha.

[suspenseful music]

[people chattering]

[dance music playing]

What are we doing here?

You said it was an emergency.

I over exaggerated.

I just don't like seeing movies by myself.

"The Dead and the Dying"? Are you shitting me?

It's good. Probably.

I just need something to keep my mind off things.

It already started.

I'm very sure we'll catch on.

Come on, my treat.

Your treat, my arse.

You got a carer's ticket.

You don't have to look caring

or wipe my bum or anything, so.

It's a win-win for everyone.

Why do you wanna see this?

What the hell is going on?

[Hannah] Shh.

Who's that?

Watch the movie.

Who?

Guess.

[Amber] Oh my god, Hannah, what did you call him for?

I didn't. What the hell's he doing here?

We shouldn't be here.

[Hannah] Shh. They're in on it together.

It's dangerous.

So's leaving my flat and walking in the street.

These bastards have ruined my life.

Don't do that.

I need to get proof that Warden's bent.

They all are.

What difference does another crooked cop make?

He stopped his man from searching that last bin.

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

Put that thing down.

[Hannah] Is he giving Max money?

What's he paying him for?

Come on, let's go.

You can't even hear what they're saying.

Do you wanna get closer?

No.

Find out?

No.

Simon from work can lipread.

[Amber] Can he also see in the dark?

'cause I'm here and I can't see their lips.

We should get out of here.

Where's he gone?

Shit.

[intense, suspenseful music]

[Amber] Where'd he go?

What if he's waiting outside?

What if he's behind us?

Is this all a big game to you?

No.

Why did you bring me here?

Because I didn't know who else I could trust.

You always take things too far.

Selfish cow.

We're onto something, can't you see that?

No, and I don't care.

He killed our friend and got away with it.

And now he's murdered another woman

and the police won't even admit it happened.

It's not right.

What is wrong with you?

You've already got Zoe killed, and you still won't stop.

That's not fair.

[Hannah] You're so bloody stubborn.

Why didn't you just stay in the taxi that night?

If you hadn't got out and pushed home,

Zoe would still be alive.

I didn't kill her. Max did.

You always have to have things your own way.

Once you get an idea in you're head, you just can't stop.

We can't let him get away with it.

I'm begging you. Move on.

Because I can't take anymore of this.

I can't let it all have been for nothing.

Then you're on your own.

[suspenseful music]

[knocking on door]

How did you know where I lived.

I literally spy on my neighbours for a living.

What do you want?

I think you might be in danger.

Why?

Please can we not do this on your doorstep, it's not safe.

What've you done?

Pissed off Max.

You stupid cow.

Get in.

[dog barking]

At least someone's pleased to see me.

Keep your paws off my bloody dog.

The way you're going, you'll get the poor thing murdered.

Max threatened to hurt you earlier to get at me.

I'm worried he'll do it again.

How did I get mixed up in this?

I only clean your bloody flat.

Max isn't exactly a very rational person.

Have you got any coffee?

Kettle's in there.

Don't use the milk, though.

I'm not made of money.

Where are you going?

I need to get this dog out before he shits everywhere.

Didn't you hear me? You're in danger.

I won't be scared in my own hometown.

Stay here. Don't touch anything. Don't let anyone in.

Just stop being.

You.

Come on.

[dog barking]

[suspenseful music]

[phone ringing]

Louisa Bradfield's office.

It's Dolly Fletcher, I need to speak to her.

What's it concerning?

She knows.

[Geri] Is it about Ruby again?

Look, I'm Louisa's right hand.

Anything you say to her, you can say to me.

She doesn't trust you that much, dear.

Now, put me through.

She's gone home.

Is this to do with Hannah?

[suspenseful music]

[water bubbling]

[cupboard door slamming]

[sudden thudding]

[door banging]

[intense, suspenseful music]

[grunting]

[lamp smashing]

[Hannah groaning]

[banging on door]

[Dolly] What's going on in there?

[heavy breathing]

[dog barking]

[groaning]

[groaning]

What have you done?

Hannah, how could you?

Oh, shut up!

This is not Max.

[suspenseful music]

You stupid, stupid girl!

I should never have let you in.

How could you do this to me?

Get away from me.

You told him where I was.

What? No.

Liar.

That's why you went out.

I swear.

You can't go.

Move.

You're not thinking straight.

Move!

[suspenseful music]

[sirens blaring]

[Simon] Look, it's just a misunderstanding.

Must be.

Uh, I've, I've got to go.

Hi.

Are you hurt?

Can I do anything?

[Hannah breathing shakily]

[Hannah sobbing]

Hey, it's all right. You're safe.

You're safe.

Now, what happened?

Hannah?

I killed someone.

[Hannah sobbing]

[dramatic, ominous music]
