What did you exactly discover in that mine?
We discovered some...
items of clothing,...
clearly belonging to her.
And there was a lot of blood...
in the area where we found the clothing.
But no body?
But no body.
Please leave a message after the tone.
George, it's Catherine.
I'm coming to see you.
Call me, please.
Thanks.
From then on, because of what we discovered there,...
we knew that, uh--
Alison was dead.
Happy Easter, sir.
Oh, Happy Easter.
Thought I might find you up here.
You know, whoever took Alison must have known her well.
Known her habits, known her movements,...
known the area.
Do you know who lives there?
No one.
It's owned by the estate.
It's just rented out for holiday lets.
I think we should get a list of everybody...
that's stayed there in the last year.
I spent half my childhood doing this.
Driving around England...
with your gran.
Every summer after my dad died,...
we'd get in the car and just drive.
Then when we found somewhere, she'd lock herself in her room...
and start tap-tap-tapping away,...
and I'd be... I'd be free,...
free to do whatever.
Sasha.
Mum.
Listen, we'll be there soon.
We're going to be meeting George Bennett,...
so don't forget to thank him,...
- okay? - What for?
For getting you out...
- of the police station. - What,...
- otherwise I'll ruin your film? - No,...
otherwise you'll prove yourself...
to be a spoiled and ungrateful brat.
What does that make you?
A crap mother.
And what brings you out here...
on Easter Sunday then, Tommy?
The lads found two bullet slugs...
down the mine.
Ballistics say...
they come from a Webley service revolver.
Well, we've got to find that gun.
Yeah.
Might already know where it's come from.
Two months ago there was a robbery...
at a house down in Borrowdale.
It's about 20 minutes that way.
There was cash and jewelry stolen...
and a Webley revolver belonging to the owner,...
- Colonel Carey. - Doesn't necessarily mean...
- it's the Webley though, does it? - No, no,...
no, I know, but Carey's been a friend...
of the Hawkin family for years.
Squire's often a guest up there.
Hawkin breaks into his friend's place...
and nicks all the jewelry.
No, there was no break-in.
Everything was in one drawer in the library.
Look, isn't it about time...
we acknowledged the bloody elephant, sir,...
the one living over there?
He was in the field the day Alison disappeared,...
he's connected to the murder weapon,...
his own wife's bloody petrified...
of him, and...
well, he's a supercilious shite.
Still a long way from being a murderer,...
though, Tommy.
Hello, Margaret.
- Can I have a word with--? - George isn't available.
But isn't that his car?
Margaret, why has your brother dropped out of the film?
Because it isn't going to do anyone any good...
raking up all that misery.
He was okay with it before.
So why has he changed his mind?
I don't know.
Well... um...
look, I'm staying at Morton Lodge.
Could you ask him to call me?
I've got something he needs to see.
Oh, come on, Sash,...
don't muck around with that thing.
Come on, give it here.
Didn't he want to talk to you?
We'll meet later.
Great, I'll practice my thank-you speech.
Oh, come on, Sasha, don't be a--
What is the problem with George?
It's complicated.
Over my head, you mean.
Well, George wants to pull out of the film,...
and I want to persuade him not to.
Um, but I also, you know, want to find out...
why he's suddenly doing this.
Well, maybe he just doesn't want to be on TV.
Hmm?
Well, I wouldn't.
I could never do what you do,...
to have a camera following you around,...
be filmed all the time.
Oh, well.
You get used to it.
I want to know why you're fannying around.
You've had...
a dozen lads down that mine for days and naught to show for it...
but a broken arm.
Sir, we know what the murder weapon is.
What murder?
You haven't even got a body.
You've used up all my overtime budget...
and we're still in bloody April.
So either piss or get off the pot.
Sergeant, I'm pulling in Philip Hawkin.
On what grounds?
He's a suspect...
in a burglary.
I must be bloody mad, I tell you.
My office.
Have you ever owned a Webley revolver, Mr. Hawkin?
No.
Have you ever visited the home of Colonel Carey?
He's a family friend.
What's this all about?
Were you in his house two months ago?
I might have been.
God knows there aren't many people around here...
with whom one can have a decent conversation.
What, don't you ever talk to your wife?
There's a difference between talk and conversation.
Did Colonel Carey ever show you where he kept the revolver?
I didn't even know he had one.
So, if we tested the desk where he kept the gun,...
we wouldn't find your fingerprints?
I may have touched his desk.
What would my fingerprints prove?
By themselves, nothing.
What does that mean?
It means I don't believe you, Mr. Hawkin.
One day you're going to slip up.
And when you do I'm going to be there.
I'm not going to give up.
Not until I get the man...
that killed her.
My daughter is missing.
She might even have been murdered.
And you are accusing me...
without...
a shred of evidence.
Are you out of your mind, Inspector?
Or just out of your depth?
Sir?
- Sir? - What?
Can you hang on for just a minute?
He's right, isn't he? We've got nothing on him.
I blew it.
There's nothing we could have done,...
short of beat the bloody truth out of him.
No, but I let him get to me, I let him get to me.
He would've let something slip, he would've. I know it.
Why didn't I wait?
Excuse me, sir.
Right, then.
Let him go. Don't you want me to get him a lawyer?
Ah, what's the point?
I'll tell Culver.
What, so that's it, then, case closed?
- Sir! - What do you want me to do, Tommy?
- There's more that still needs looking-- - Sir, sir!
I've got Ruth Hawkin on the phone.
Keep your voice down, you lummox.
Sorry. She's hysterical.
She says you have to come out to Scardale right now,...
while her husband's not there.
- All right, move. - He does not leave, okay?
No matter who or what he threatens,...
- he does not leave, okay? - Yes, sir.
I came in to turn the heating down,...
and when I took the cover off, I saw something behind.
It's one of his shirts with blood on it.
I left it, I couldn't touch it.
One, two, three.
We're going to need a warrant.
I want all cameras, everyone.
Everything from these drawers, please.
Tommy?
Can I leave you with this?
- Where you off to, sir? - I'm going to look in his darkroom.
Dawson, I want every camera, every roll of film...
taken out of that cupboard, logged down, put in its box...
and shipped down to the station, all right?
Sir!
What have you got?
Let's have a look.
Scardale lead mines.
Sir...
just found a map of the mines, in Hawk--
Tommy?
Um... we found a map of the mines...
in Hawkin's study, sir.
I found his safe.
Could you go upstairs...
and ask Ruth if she knows where the key might be?
Yeah.
So, Tommy went off...
to look for the key, and you waited?
Yeah, I waited.
Uh, I wa... I wanted to get the safe opened.
But I dreaded it being opened.
Pandora's Box.
You never know what's going to come out.
It's no luck with the key, sir.
Ruth said they didn't ever have access--
I found the key.
It was taped under the shelf there with this.
Which looks like the same stuff they used for muzzling the dog.
Shall we?
That's it.
Think we'd better take notes.
Right.
Inside the safe we found an envelope...
containing black and white images.
First photograph is of Alison Carter...
sat on a bed in her school uniform.
Second photograph,...
Alison Carter again, sat on the bed.
This time, there is a man.
The man is Philip Hawkin.
Photograph number three--
Hang on, sir, if he's in that picture,...
who's taking the photograph?
Camera's on a tripod, automatic shutter.
Third photograph,...
Philip Hawkin undressing Alison Carter.
Fourth photograph,...
Philip Hawkin now undressed.
Fifth photograph,...
Alison--
Oh, sweet Jesus.
You want to know why I never married, Catherine?
Never had kids?
Because of what I saw in that room.
Because I never knew...
there was that amount of cruelty in the world,...
and no child of mine was ever going to run the risk...
of meeting it.
Right, that really is it. Come on.
Those photos of Alison, they're porn, aren't they?
Oh, God, I knew that you shouldn't have seen this stuff.
Mum, why not?
I mean, thousands of kids are going to see it. Millions.
That's what you wanted, isn't it?
No.
Catherine Heathcote.
Catherine?
George!
Oh, George.
Thanks for ringing, um--
There's a cafe in Queen Street off the square.
Meet me in 15 minutes.
Yep, okay, all right.
I'll be there.
Uh, yes, yes, it was.
All right.
Right, I've got to go out. Um--
Are you going to see George?
I'd like to come, too. I'd really like to thank him.
No, another time.
- But Mum, you said-- - For God's sake, Sasha,...
- I've got to work. - But Mum, you--
Get yourself ready for bed.
I'll be back. Quickly.
But now we had the evidence we needed.
The case had moved on.
Considerably.
I'm Alfred Naden, representing Mr. Hawkin.
You must be Inspector Bennett--
Following your client's arrest this morning, Mr. uh, Naden,...
I obtained a search warrant from Morton magistrates.
I executed that warrant...
this afternoon, and during the search we discovered a safe...
hidden in Mr. Hawkin's darkroom.
And when that safe was opened, we found eight photographs,...
which, when examined,...
were found to contain pornographic...
images of Alison Carter.
And as a result of the evidence,...
I am charging you, Mr. Hawkin,...
with rape.
They're fakes.
I want to see this evidence.
Are you sure you want your solicitor...
to see it, Mr. Hawkin?
At the risk of him walking out on you?
I want him to see them.
I'm telling you, they're fakes.
Everyone knows you can fake a photograph.
We have the negatives, too. Well, you can...
fake those, as well.
First you fake...
the photograph, then you photograph the fake,...
and bingo, you have a negative.
Give me a ciggie.
One of your cigarettes?
Oh.
You denying that...
this is you in these photographs, Mr. Hawkin?
Of course I am.
Are you denying you raped her?
Yes.
We also found a bloodstained...
shirt in your study.
What?
Identical to the shirts that...
you have made in London.
It was stained with blood,...
which I expect will match...
that found on Alison's underwear.
There was no shirt in my study.
Oh.
But that's where it was found.
As well as the gun.
What gun?
A Webley .38,...
identical to the one stolen from your friend,...
Colonel Carey.
I've already told you, I didn't know he had a gun.
You're trying to frame me.
Why would we want to do that?
Because you've got nothing, and your necks are on the line,...
and you're making up all this rubbish.
Are we making up you raping that little girl, you piece a shit.
All fakes... I--
I'm going to present this information...
to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Hawkin,...
and then I'm going to charge you with murder.
George,...
thanks for meeting with me.
Well.
Do you, uh... do you want something?
Uh, no. No, thanks.
Um... well, did you get to Scardale?
Have you managed to get us into the manor house?
Uh, no. The, uh...
The owners are still not interested...
with any film.
Like you, apparently.
Yes, like me.
Can you tell me why?
Uh, you said you had something I need to see.
Yeah, um... you worked in vice in Manchester...
before you were posted to Morton, right?
- Yeah. - When you were there,...
did you have any access...
to child pornography?
Why are you asking?
When I was doing background research on you for the film,...
I came across some student magazines...
that you'd contributed to.
And I found an article...
that you'd written that you never told me about.
Um... interesting piece...
on photo-montage...
and the manipulation of evidence.
Didn't realize you were such an accomplished photographer,...
George.
George, you have to talk to me.
George!
You have no idea.
Well, you've got to tell me...
what happened!
You've found something you don't like, haven't you?
Maybe you shouldn't go digging.
Pandora's Box.
You never know what's going to come out.
Well, you've got to tell me what happened!
Sasha?
Sash!
Sash.
Sasha!
Oh.
Sasha! Sasha, wake up.
Wake up. How much have you drunk?
Mum, I'm gonna be sick.
Come-Come with me.
Oh, here we go. Come on. Come on.
All right, talk to me.
Okay.
Get off me!
I want my dad.
Get away from me.
I want my daddy.
It's all right, baby.
Why haven't you gone home?
He destroyed her long...
before he killed her.
Not now. I have to work.
I stayed here when I was little once.
One of those summer trips with Gran.
Is this where it happened?
Yeah.
That's the back of the manor house.
She walked out of there and was never seen again.
Hi, Keith.
Catherine,...
have you spoken to George?
Not yet.
Why not?
Um, well, I'm going to go interview him later today.
I've got my own camera with me,...
so I'll shoot it myself.
What?
You still having doubts?
Who told you I did?
I know you, Catherine.
We've worked together a long time. Is there...
- something you're not telling me? - No!
Listen, George is... George is fine.
Really. It's just a case of nerves.
I'll keep you posted.
Don't worry.
Whose nerves, exactly?
Catherine Heathcote's, or George Bennett's?
George Bennett's.
Why?
- Stuff's started to come up. - What stuff?
Nicola, I'm not going to play 20 Questions with you.
There are issues with the evidence...
that George used to convict Hawkin.
The abuse photos?
- Yes. - Well, get it checked.
- Get it analyzed. - We can't.
It was destroyed in a warehouse fire...
six months ago.
Well, was that before...
Catherine started speaking to him...
about the film?
About the same time.
George Bennett.
Well... well.
Oh, had enough of those then, huh?
Still burning the midnight oil, Bennett?
You've met Chief Superintendent Martin?
I have. Good evening, sir.
Bennett.
Can you make this murder charge fly?
Well, the weight of evidence is compelling, sir.
We found the murder weapon wrapped in Philip Hawkin's...
blood-stained shirt in his study,...
and there was also powder burns on that shirt.
We also found a map of the Scardale mines.
None of which adds up to a body.
We also have the two bullets...
fired from the gun in the mine where we also found...
Alison Carter's torn, blood-stained, semen-stained...
- clothes, sir. - But not Alison.
The pathologist estimates that more than...
three pints of blood were spilt...
at the scene. Three pints, sir.
Do you believe he didn't...
- do it, sir? - All the evidence...
- is circumstantial. - Come on, sir.
How often do you actually get a corroborated...
- witness account of a murder? - Not often, I admit, but...
Hawkin is an important man,...
well thought of in the community.
Not when they see these.
There's your motive for murder there, sir.
The girl's getting older.
She's no longer...
in awe of him, she threatens to tell.
She has to die.
And as for proving murder without a body,...
there is precedence, sir.
John George Haigh. The acid bath murderer.
Convicted without a body.
Forensic traces pointed to his victim.
1955, a Polish ex-soldier is murdered by his partner,...
no body.
Prosecution claims...
that his partner fed his body...
to the pigs.
And again, a conviction.
Sir, Philip Hawkin is a child rapist...
and a murderer, and he cannot...
get away with this.
Very well.
Thank you.
Drink.
Get some sleep, Bennett.
Why are we going back to see George?
Because I'm not finished.
So how did you meet him?
I met him in Bosnia.
He was on the War Crimes Commission there.
I thought he was an exceptional man.
You liked him because you thought...
he'd make a good film.
No, not that.
Because... he was like my father.
Well, I-I mean he was like I'd always imagined...
that my father would be like, if he'd lived.
Here we go.
Doctor, can you help me? I'm trying to get onto this ward.
I-I need to find out about George Bennett.
I'm sorry, I can only give information...
- to his family. - I'm a close personal friend.
But not family.
Will the owner of vehicle...
Look, look, I'm a television reporter.
I've been working on this film with George.
It's crucial that I find out how he is.
Because you are a friend or because you are a reporter?
Well, both.
Sorry, hospital policy...
- is very clear. - Oh, please!
Just tell me if he's going to make it.
Mum! What are you doing? You can't go in there.
I'm going in. You stay here.
But you're going to get in trouble.
Well, if I do,...
you'll have to come and rescue me.
It's okay, Sash.
I've been in worse places than this.
Can I help?
I want to see George Bennett.
Are you a relative?
Yes, I'm his niece.
No, please. Please, please, please.
Don't die, please.
Please don't.
I'm so sorry.
- Swindells? - Sir?
I'll do that.
Right-o, sir.
What if she's not the only one?
What, you mean, other kids?
See, he's 41.
And in my experience,...
sex offenders don't just start,...
they develop, try stuff out.
In your "experience"?
I did a year with vice in Manchester,...
sexual offenses.
What, against kids?
Yeah, sometimes.
Unfortunately.
See, the trouble is, we've looked at Hawkin.
He's lived his whole life in Scardale.
Apart from this, he's clean.
So what are you gonna do now?
You're not gonna give up, are you?
I don't know, Sash.
What's this?
Just some stuff I did when I was a kid.
Gran gave it to me.
Is that me?
- Is that how you saw me? - I guess.
I was just a camera.
- Well, you always had one. - Well, I...
just trying to make sure that we-- That I remembered,...
you know?
You're right.
I'm a crap mother.
Well... guess we better get back, then.
Face the music.
Nicola, hi. It's me.
Do we still have an address for...
Tommy Clough?
Um, yes.
Why do you want it?
Can you get it for me?
Tommy didn't want anything to do with the film.
Just get me the address, Nicola.
Um...
bear with me.
48 Willingham Lane, Bartleby.
Pen. Have you--?
On the coast near Berwick.
You're not going all the way up there, are you?
This is to do with George, isn't it?
You discovered something.
Like what, Nicola?
Like...
maybe he's not as squeaky clean as he's cracked up to be.
Catherine?
Gotta go.
No, wait.
Catherine, Keith is--
What?
I can't protect you,...
Catherine.
Then don't.
Bye, Nicola.
Right. Change of plan.
We're going to the seaside.
Okay.
Catherine.
Keith!
Glad I caught you.
And Sasha, too.
I heard about George.
Hospitalized.
Obviously, I'm really sorry.
I know you're fond of him.
But we have to be practical.
What does it mean for us?
Well...
do you want to know the truth?
What else have you been telling me?
I think that we should...
stop the film.
I can't do that, I'm afraid.
Why not, Keith?
Canceling a high-profile network program...
at this late stage would be a story in itself,...
and isn't that what you're trying to avoid?
What do you mean?
I mean the other story, the one that you don't want to tell.
Am I right?
Retelling a famous murder story is good television.
Exposing a detective who bent the truth...
to get a conviction is great television.
There is absolutely no evidence...
that George Bennett did anything wrong.
Then why are you running around England like a scalded cat?
Does George have some sort of a hold on you?
- What? - Is he your daddy or something?
No, of course not, but that doesn't mean...
the man should be crucified without a fair hearing!
Fair hearing or cover-up?
I'm not covering anything up, Keith.
I just don't have the full story yet.
I just need more time, hmm?
You can have 24 hours.
And only I work on this.
Not loyal Nicola or anybody else.
Then I just waited.
Seemed like an age.
I wanted to get that safe open.
I dreaded it being opened.
Pandora's Box.
You never know what's going to come out.
I, um, I want to talk.
To apologize, you mean.
Did you bring cigarettes?
This is your last chance to tell me where her body is.
I don't know where she is.
Tomorrow you go on trial,...
and you'll be convicted, and you'll hang.
No judge will hang me.
Not with the evidence you have.
The judge is Fletcher Sampson, and believe me, when he sees...
those photographs, you will hang.
The photographs are fakes.
That's what the jury will be told,...
that's what they will believe.
Please, Philip?
Please?
Put her mother's mind at ease.
And you do that and...
you could be out in ten years.
Have a life and...
She was such a beautiful girl.
Yes, beautiful.
Does she keep you awake at night?
Little Alison?
All those photos of mine...
you have to help find her,...
where are they?
Do you have them on your wall?
They're evidence.
Evidence of what?
What do you see when you look at her,...
George?
Please tell me where she is!
I didn't kill her.
Tommy Clough?
Yes.
I'm Catherine Heathcote.
I'd like to talk to you about...
No, I know who you are.
Oh, good.
I'd like to talk to you about George Bennett. I...
I'd like to talk to you about George Bennett!
Three days ago,...
he withdrew from the film that I'm making about him,...
and he won't tell me why!
And then yesterday,...
he had a massive heart attack, and I think...
the reason might be something to do...
with the fact-- Oh, good.
Could we start again?
My name is Cath--
We're not starting anything.
I just want to say...
that if my friend George dies,...
I hope his death haunts you...
to your grave,...
you fucking... vulture.
Don't you dare talk to my mum like that!
She's trying to help him! She's doing everything she can!
She even risked her job for him!
Why can't you see that?!
Come on then.
- Improved from Retail by - * H@w-to-kiLL *
For Christ's sake, Catherine, go!
But isn't there an alternative explanation for every piece of evidence?
Were you obsessed with Alison Carter?
- So you believe that Hawkin was guilty? - Oh, as seen!
I didn't kill her.
- What have you done, Kathy? - Get out!
- Are you agreed upon your verdict? - We are.
