Bad Girls (1999) s06e10 Episode Script

l'm going for the full-on public crucifixion.
- You'll never win.
- You just watch me.
(Horn blares) - You said l was the best ever.
- She's lying.
You couldn't get enough.
While the cat's away, eh? - Get off me, you pervert! - Eh? - He just tried to grab my knob! - What? lf you stick to what we agreed, Grayling will be out before you can say ''shirt-lifter''.
l'm arresting you on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
This is all a lie.
lt's a bloody fit-up by him there.
Fenner.
Come on.
l don't know what he's done, but it's him.
Karenis that you? Karen.
Yep No Let me explain! He wants to drop all charges.
On condition that you sign a statement admitting professional misconduct towards him, that you discriminated on the grounds of personal prejudice, thereby blocking any chance of further promotion.
- Also - There's more? .
.
that you undertake to make good any damage caused to both his emotional and professional welfare.
l'd have to resign if l agreed to any of that.
And he knows it.
- l'm just here to pass on the message.
- Yeah.
Well, you can take one back to him.
lf he thinks l'm going to roll over and give him anything he wants, he's out of his mind.
He's not going for it.
Hey, calm down.
lt's him that's looking at the end of his career, not you.
l know the slimy bastard's got something up his sleeve.
Mr Fenner, further to your statement, tell us what happened the day after you became a lodger at Governor Grayling's.
Well, l'd, er l'd spent the evening visiting my son.
When l got in l was tired, so l went straight to bed.
Then what happened? l woke suddenly to find Governor Grayling in bed with me.
- Had you issued any such invitation? - No.
Definitely not.
And did Governor Grayling attempt to explain his actions? No.
He was, ermstroking my back andin a state of arousal.
What happened next? l got out of the bed and told him l wasn't interested.
- And how did he respond? - He told me that l should tread carefully.
That it would be a shame to spoil everything l had going for me at work.
What did you take that to mean? That my rejection of his sexual advances might have adverse affects on my job and career.
Some weeks later, did you receive an invitation to Governor Grayling's stag party? - Yeah.
- And what happened there? l arrived expecting to find a number of others present.
- And weren't there? - No.
lt was just him and me.
- Strange sort of stag party then.
- l thought so.
From the moment l arrived, he kept filling up my glass, insisted on ordering more.
Why do you think he did that? So that l wouldn't put up any resistance when he tried, once again, to make sexual advances.
So can you tell us how the evening ended? Well, l suddenly became very confused.
lt was more than being drunk.
As though l'd been drugged.
Objection.
There's no evidence to support these claims.
My client is merely describing how he felt.
- l'll allow it - l, er l blacked out.
l don't know how long for.
But when l came to, eventually Governor Grayling was performing oral sex on me.
- All right? - l'm leaving.
What? This lntensive Development Scheme is too good a chance to miss.
That's bollocks! Look, how many times have l got to say l'm sorry? - lt's too late.
- lt can't be! Not over something stupid like this.
l just wanted to let you know.
Please.
l feltvulnerable.
This man had power over me.
Over my career.
l'd had personal problems, but l thought at least at work l had it all going for me.
And then Are you all right, Mr Fenner? (Fenner) Sorry.
Sorry.
l find this quite quite difficult to talk about.
l'd looked up to Governor Grayling.
l believed him when he told me that l was number one material.
So he was talking about your prospects beyond being wing governor? Yes.
Do you feel you were harassed out of the post of wing governor? Yes.
How many appointments have since been made to the job? Three.
All women, and all with far less experience than me.
So you feel that your chances of further promotion have been deliberately sabotaged by Governor Grayling.
- Yes.
- Why? He's a predatory homosexual who can't take rejection.
- We object.
- Governor Grayling's sexual behaviour is central to this case.
He said he craved the feel of another man's hard body up against him, how he'd dreamed of it all his life.
We're clear on how you allege Governor Grayling made known his feelings.
l'm not the only one he's tried to molest.
He attacked a staff member in the toilets.
- Stuart Jones.
You ask him.
- Objection.
- lf you want to go, then fine.
- Keep it down.
l don't care any more, about you or this place or anything.
- Just calm down.
- Why the hell should l? The only thing keeping me going here is you and a chance of life on the outside, but now, what's the point? - So what are you going to do? - Why do you care? You're not gonna be here.
You've got an appeal coming up.
Mess it up and you'll regret it.
You're not listening to me.
l don't care.
Oh, l get it.
Because that'll show me, won't it? You banged up in here for the next 30 years.
l'll still be here when you come back as governor, won't l? Have you instructed your client to restrict his testimony to matters relating to the case? - Yes, sir.
- Take due notice, Mr Fenner.
l'm sorry.
l realise that Stuart Jones's allegations are still subject to due procedure.
Make no further reference to this person.
All mention has been struck.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Mr Fenner.
Talk us through the day you exposed yourself to a wing of female prisoners.
l'm really sorry if l messed things up with you and Geeson.
l just couldn't help myself.
l'm obviously not as good at keeping a secret as you.
- l don't want to hear it.
- One day you'll look back and realise that l've done you a big favour.
l said shut it! lt's got nothing to do with you, and there is nothing between me and Geeson.
- l believe you.
- Yeah? The reason l got shot of you is because you're a screwed-up, manipulative bitch.
No other reason.
l was diagnosed as suffering from extreme stress.
l'm convinced it was caused by the continuing pressure and abuse l received from Governor Grayling.
l see.
And it was the samestress, was it, that made you attack a prisoner? Kristen Yates.
lt took a number of officers to pull you off her.
My client has been forthcoming about his mental health difficulties.
They contribute to the reason why this hearing is in session.
Yes, l agree.
Move on, please, Mr Hedley.
That's me.
See you later.
- Ooh, miss! - What the blazes l've been attacked.
l can't breathe properly.
- What's going on? - She says she's been attacked.
- Please just call the MO.
- You'll have to deal with this.
l'm late already.
Golf eight to Control.
Urgent medical assistance needed.
Well, maybe it's down to lack of funding.
Or foresight.
But we're meant to be working for an enlightened service.
Direct your answer to the question, Mrs Hollamby.
Of course, m'lud.
You were saying whether you or not you had experienced or witnessed discrimination whilst working under Governor Grayling.
Well, before this last month, when l completed a race relations course, something l was very keen to do for some considerable time, l probably wouldn't have recognised discrimination if it had bit me on the nose.
- (Oxborough) Have you? - l certainly have.
ln what respect? My late husband Bobby.
He was a victim of Mr Grayling's discrimination.
Ageist discrimination.
He applied for a prison officer's post at Larkhall, did he not? Yes.
He had a spotless, distinguished record of service.
And he was turned down flat.
Tossed aside for having too many grey hairs.
He felt like he'd been thrown on the slag heap.
He lost the will to live.
He took his own life that very same day.
Ooh! Ow.
Sorry.
lt hurts.
- l can't breathe properly either.
- You could have damage to the ribs.
Possible fracture.
- Any pain anywhere else? - A bit further round.
- Kidneys.
Here? - Ooh! Yeah.
She just came at me in the laundry room.
- Well, you're in safe hands now.
- l want to make a complaint.
l don't care if l get called a grass.
l want her charged.
Ow! Jesus! Please.
l'm gonna be all right, aren't l? lt was one of the proudest moments of my life, being made wing governor.
l felt as if all my hard work over the years had finally paid off.
And did those feelings of pride sustain you throughout the job? No.
Soon all l heard was that l'd only been given it because l was Mrs Grayling.
- So what did you do? - Went to Neil.
Asked him whether it was true or not.
And what did he tell you? That l'd been given the job only in return for him and his boyfriend having sole custody of our baby.
So what did you do then? At first l couldn't believe what l was hearing.
Then l told him l'd taken the job to prove l was the best person for it, not as some kind of payoff.
But l lost my baby anyway.
Next thing l knew, Frances Myers was walking in through the door.
And Frances Myers is the current G Wing governor at Larkhall? - Yes.
- Thank you, Ms Barker.
lt's a peculiar setup isn't it, Ms Barker? You here giving evidence against your ex-husband in favour of your fiancé.
- l don't understand.
- l think you do.
That's the capacity in which you appear, not as an employee of the prison service.
No.
That's not true.
So you have no personal grudge against my client? No.
Too many people have suffered because of him, not just Jim Fenner.
He can be very vindictive.
l have no doubt that my job and career could suffer because of today but l don't care.
l feel as if l have to speak out no matter what the cost.
l'm sorry.
l'm not ashamed of my sexuality.
But l'm not predatory.
And l can assure you there's never been any sexual contact between Principal Officer Fenner and myself.
- You're absolutely sure about that.
- Positive.
He's never made any secret of what a ladies' man he sees himself as, so why would l bother? Why do you think he's persisted with these claims if they're untrue? ln my opinion, it stems from a number of things, resentment being one, jealousy another, and certainly no small amount of homophobia.
What makes you think homophobia might be a motivation? A number of things, specifically the abusive language he's used against me in the past.
Such as? ''Bastarding faggot'' being one example.
''Shit stabber'' another.
Central to his complaint is that he was your first choice for wing governor.
- ls that true? - Yes.
So what made you change your mind? l discovered he'd been abusing two staff members and several inmates.
By ''abusing'', do you mean sexually or violently? Both.
Have you any evidence to support these serious claims? Yes.
- A few days' bed rest will sort you out.
- Thanks, Doctor.
- You're admitting her.
- Eryes.
Yes.
Look, erm She's not in a good way.
The who laid into her Yates.
She gave her a severe beating.
- l didn't think it was that bad.
- Substantial bruising, possible fractured ribs, potential kidney damage.
l'm keeping her here in the hospital wing at least till the pain subsides.
- l've got no option really.
- She just seemed winded.
- lt didn't seem that serious.
- Wellputting on a brave act.
You should recommend that this, er Yates be CC'd at the very least to stop this sort of thing going on.
Thanks for helping out earlier, Miss.
Your battered-victim act might wash with Dr Nicholson, but don't think for one second that you're fooling me.
You really need to work on your sympathetic tone.
lf it was Yates in this state, you'd be kissing her better.
At first l couldn't believe it.
lt was extreme even by his standards.
What did these photographs show? Principal Officer Fenner in a sexual embrace with one of the younger, more vulnerable prisoners, Tina O'Kane.
We would usefully need to see these photographs for ourselves if they exist.
Oh, l can assure you they do.
Or did.
Can anyone else attest to that? Yes.
Former wing governor Karen Betts.
Thank you, Governor Grayling.
Would this Karen Betts be the same person who is presently awaiting trial for causing death by dangerous driving? Yes.
lt's hard to decide which word most aptly describes what passes for your defence argument, Governor Grayling.
Risible? Desperate? Maybe just plain farcical covers it best.
Sorry for leaving you in the lurch.
Jim needed me.
So Buxton claims Yates beat her up? l can't say l'm much surprised.
Been on a short fuse ever since she got in.
Could say that about half the prisoners.
You know she's appealing at the moment.
That can be stressful.
Might have all got to her.
l think we can kiss our Mr Grayling goodbye.
And not a moment too soon.
- Soon we'll have a proper governor.
- And who's that? That job should have been Jim Fenner's years ago.
Wouldn't have had half the problems.
What a crying shame l won't be here to see it.
- Had enough, have you? - Of this place, yes.
l'm off on the lntensive Development Scheme.
Fast track? You've only been here five minutes.
Exactly.
- You haven't begun to learn the craft.
- l don't know.
You've taught me a couple of things.
lf that isn't flippin' discrimination.
- So that's what you meant, was it? - What? You don't care what happens to you so you attack Natalie Buxton.
l didn't attack her.
l defended myself.
Right.
- She came at me.
- How could you be so bloody stupid? All you've got to do is keep your head down and you could get out of here.
l told you l don't care about that any more.
You did it deliberately, didn't you? Went and picked a fight.
Bet you're disappointed you're not down the block.
You're pathetic.
- l don't think Yates would attack Buxton.
- What does Dr Nicholson say? That there was bruising.
Suspected fracture to the ribs, possible damage to the kidneys.
She was offered segregation and turned it down.
How did Buxton seem to you? - She seemed in pain.
- l'm sure she does.
l suppose we should put Yates on segregation.
No, not for the moment.
You can leave it with me.
On appointment to his position as governing governor of Larkhall, Mr Grayling had a very simple choice to make - would a man who kept his own sexuality a secret foster a positive, healthy, open working environment, free from intimidation and discrimination? Or would he exploit his position to gratify himself? l would submit that the evidence presented today should leave no doubt as to the choices Mr Grayling made.
Think l enjoy watching you throw your life away? Look, she came at me.
l swear.
l've never lied to you about anything.
Look, she was trying it on.
l didn't want to know but she wasn't listening.
You know l'm telling the truth, babes.
Fine.
No problem.
All you've got to do now is tell Myers.
What? Are you mad? Grass? No way.
So what does the vigilante have to say for herself? Nothing.
Natalie Buxton's pressing charges, which will hardly benefit your appeal.
l'd think of something.
- l have nothing to say.
- Fine.
lt's your choice.
Contact a lawyer.
The police are pressing criminal charges.
Take her away, Selena.
Ma'am, if l can say something as Yates' personal officer.
Go ahead.
She's confided in me what happened.
Natalie Buxton made sexual advances towards her, and refused to back away when Yates said she wasn't interested.
ls that true? Let me put it another way.
ls any of that untrue? l'll look into it, and expect nothing but the truth from you when l do.
- Take her back to her cell.
- Ma'am.
l had no choice.
l don't want to see you rot in this place.
lf you're lying, your appeal is screwed.
But if you're not, Myers will sort her out.
- For both of us.
- There's still an us? l swear, l will never hurt you again as long as l live.
l love you so much.
- l have to apply some pressure there.
- Ow! l hear you've been hurt.
You look all right to me.
Well, ask the doctor.
- Bruised kidneys sound serious.
- Certainly could be.
- So she'll be pissing blood then? - Possibly.
No offence but l'd like a second opinion.
This tribunal, having been presented with evidence from both complainant and defendant, will retire to consider its verdict.
lts findings will be delivered to both parties and any action deemed necessary by those findings will be taken.
However, l might allow one observation at this point.
Before this tribunal comes to a decision, whatever the outcome, l would urge the individuals involved to consider the appropriateness of their behaviour most carefully in future.
l think that went well.
Did you see how the judge looked at Neil? Yeah, he's finished.
They'll have his knackers off him.
Couldn't have done it without you.
l told you the two of us would see him off.
Come here.
You were a star.
Bye-bye, poof.
- Miss Myers.
- Yes? About Buxton and her injuries.
There's just a chance that they might have been somewhat overstated.
That doesn't sound like a confident medical opinion.
Specifically any reference l might have made to internal bruising.
- Are you saying there isn't any? - Probably not.
Very, very unlikely.
Buxton's a manipulative character.
l think she lied about her symptoms and her pain.
- What are you doing? Get off me! - Put a sock in it! - Oh, my ribs! - Keep still, then.
- There's nothing wrong with her.
- What am l supposed to have done? Faking an illness, attempting to corrupt a prison SMO, making a false allegation.
- Get her down the block.
- Gently! Get off of me! Myers only wants me out of the way to stop me telling everyone that an officer is having an affair with a prisoner.
Sharper tongues than yours have accused Mr Fenner and come off worse.
l'm not talking about him.
l'm talking about Miss Geeson and Kris Yates.
Tell it to the four walls.
Oi! Ask them! Mm.
Been hearing rumours about you.
- What? - Buxton.
She reckons you and Yates are you know.
Lesbians.
Kris Yates? Huh.
Phyl Oswyn's more my type.
Like a bit of posh.
(Phone) l don't know what goes on in that head of Buxton's.
G Wing.
Oh, hello, Jim.
Oh.
Oh, that's wonderful news.
You can be sure that everyone here feels exactly the same.
OK.
Will do.
Well, l think we can all safely bid a fond farewell to our governor.
l thought l gave a good account of myself.
There's no reason that they should believe a single word of Fenner's.
Until Stuart Jones's complaint comes in.
That was a setup and l'll prove it.
How? Unless you do something, you're screwed.
l can tell that just by looking at you.
There's been so much crap levelled at Fenner in this place.
Who are you trying to kid? - Have you tried talking to Karen Betts? - Twice.
And? She hung up.
You're right.
l'm in deep shit.
- Revenge, is it? - Eh? Why else would you advertise your rotten miscarriage in public? Simple.
Because it's true.
This is Neil's private life.
Nothing to do with work.
He's a professional.
He's not capable of running a pig farm.
He made my life hell.
l lost my baby.
l might not be able to have children because of his carryings-on.
My life would be in ruins if it wasn't for Jim.
lf there's one thing l've learned, it's that you don't rely on anyone to make your life.
Excuse me, Frances, but l think Jim relies on me.
Does that explain the mad rush down the aisle? Sounds like you're jealous of our happiness.
As long as that's all it is, Di, not obsession.
Karen.
- What do you want? - l need your help.
- l'm desperate.
- Yeah, well, l don't want to see you.
- Leave me alone.
- Hear me out.
This is important.
Look, this won't take long.
Just l'll stand here all night if that's what it takes.
Please! - Thank you.
- l've got nothing to say to you.
- This won't take long.
- Just piss off.
Karen, l need your help.
l'm in a real hole.
You've got a bloody nerve, Neil.
Don't think l'm gonna listen to some pathetic sob story when l'm the one that's in the shit.
l'm sitting here looking at a life sentence for something l didn't do.
- l know.
- Oh, you do, do you? Well, where the hell have you been for the last four months? l've wanted to get in touch.
l have.
Things have been really difficult since you left.
l can't explain how bad.
My career is in ruins.
l'll tell you bad.
Bad is when some shit paints ''Murderer'' on your door.
All right.
Look, l know it isn't much of an excuse, but l'm here now, aren't l? You haven't changed, have you, Neil? lt's always about you and your bloody career, isn't it? You've got the nerve to come round here, telling me you need my help? Bugger off! Hi, Natty, love.
You OK? l'm all right as long as l don't breathe.
How come you're not down the medical wing? Cos of that bitch Myers.
She just won't leave me alone.
lt don't make sense.
She's taken Kris Yates off CC.
Says you attacked her.
What? You're having me on, aren't you? No.
She reckons you tried it on with her.
You know, like you was a dyke.
Huh.
l thought she was gonna kill me.
She just burst into the laundry room and started attacking me.
- You weren't arguing or nothing? - No.
l reckon she ain't right in the head.
She's always keeping herself to herself.
You never know what she's thinking.
Listen, yous two better get back.
l don't want you getting into trouble as well.
- (Woman) That's enough.
- Anything you need, you just ask.
Anything, yeah? See ya! Bye! - Karen.
- Oh, for God's sake.
- Please, just hear me out.
- Just leave me alone! What if l could make it up to you? What, put me in a nice cushy cell when l'm sent to Larkhall? Fenner's got me by the balls.
You're the only one that can help.
How did l know he was involved? What's he done to you, Neil? Framed you for murder, too? lf you help me, l'll find out what really happened the day you were supposed to have killed that pedestrian.
Just give me the chance! You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain! My lawyers haven't got anywhere.
What makes you think you can? You'll just have to trust me.
No one believes l wasn't driving that car.
No one! l know that bastard had something to do with it.
l've told you, l've lost everything.
l mean, look at me! And l bet he had something to do with poor bloody Yvonne Atkins.
We'll do this together.
Just give me your lawyer's number.
Ta.
What the devil's he doing here? Morning, ladies.
They can't just let him walk back in here, can they? lf he thinks his discriminating ways have got any authority left here, he's got another think coming.
What are we going to do? l'm sure the union will back us on any unofficial action we take.
l mean, him accused of sexual harassment, and they'll let him be in charge of a woman's prison? Let's just do everything by the book, yeah? Do our jobs and wait.
- l must say l'm surprised, Jim.
- Yeah, me too.
lf we go unofficial, it'll put us in the firing line, and that's where Grayling wants us.
At the moment, he's the one staring down the barrel.
l say let's keep it that way and let the system do for him, yeah? l could do with a bit of that myself.
- You reckon? - Yeah.
- Look at the pack on him! - l don't know.
He's not my sort.
Go for the more sophisticated type really.
There ain't nothing sophisticated about what l'd like to do to him.
- All right? - Er yeah.
Erm l'm just gonna go off down the laundry and get some clean tea towels.
That's the same way l'm going.
lf you like.
You must be dead good at electrics, getting that light sorted so quickly.
Top of the class when it comes to fixtures and fittings.
- Serious? - Yeah, l did all right.
l ain't never been good at nothing.
Except for arsing things up and that.
- l thought you was a red band.
- Oh, yeah.
l am.
- Well, that's something, isn't it? - lt is in here.
Don't mean chuff all on the outside.
l get out of here next month.
Ain't gonna help me find a job, is it? Next month? Really? Yeah.
Can't believe it.
You got a big party planned? l don't know.
l meanyeah.
Maybe.
Might have some time on my hands next month.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
(Door opens) - l'll see you later, yeah? - Yeah.
And Buxton and Yates' adjudication is taking place this morning.
Your girlfriend's got a nose for trouble.
- Girlfriend? - Oh, yes.
- Quite the couple according to gossip.
- Just Buxton stirring.
No one with a couple of brain cells would take any notice.
lt's almost funny.
Slandering a prison officer? Buxton won't be laughing.
Morning, Governor.
Glad to see you back.
- Hello.
- Mr Grayling.
- l, erm went to see her.
- And? l think she'll help me as long as l can do the same for her.
How are you going to do that? Well, l told her that if she was framed, l'd find out who by.
So l need a favour.
Someone who can do the job.
- Hang on, she could be guilty.
- Or she could be innocent.
All right.
l'll make a call.
Erm an old mate of mine, Rob Skelton.
Ex-job.
Bloody good investigator.
lnnocent or guilty, he'll find out what happened.
Good.
Thank you.
Neil, have you had a chance to look at that adjudication report? - Yeah.
- And? Open and shut, wouldn't you say? - l'm not sure.
- Why not? l think it needs looking into without prejudgment.
l am being set up over this.
l haven't even had a chance to speak to my lawyer.
Luck's out on that one.
Only the governor can make that happen.
And Myers has got his nads in her pocket.
l actually believe you, if it makes any difference.
- Yeah? - lt's obvious Yates has a screw loose.
More than that.
She's bloody unhinged.
So what's all this about her and Geeson then? Oh, right.
And then you do me for spreading rumours.
lf you can prove it, it's not a rumour, is it? And, er we agreed to help each other, didn't we? Anything that lands Yates in the shit and wipes that smug look off Geeson's face Wellyou could always take a trip to the records office.
- Records office? - Take a look at the electoral roll.
Tells you who lives where and with whom.
And then, Mr Fenner, you'll have 'em.
We believe the means exist to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Natalie Buxton has laid false charges against another prisoner, attempted to corrupt a member of Her Majesty's Prison Service staff, and made slanderous comments against another member of said staff.
Right.
Well, we're here purely to establish the facts, so try and relax.
l know how nerve-racking these things can be.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
OK.
You've heard the charges against you.
What do you have to say? Well, it's not true.
l did not attack Kris Yates.
And why do you think she says you did? Because it happened the other way around.
She attacked me.
Why? Because l found something out about her that she didn't want anyone to know.
And what was that? That she's been having an affair well, l suppose that's what you'd call it with one of your prison officers.
Miss Geeson.
- Do we have to listen to this? - lt's true.
- How would you know this? - Kris Yates told me, more or less.
- More or less? What does that mean? - She told me.
You're lying.
Buxton attacked me in the laundry room when l rejected her sexual advances.
She says that you attacked her.
That's not true.
And you did because she threatened to reveal that you were having a relationship with a staff member.
That's bollocks! l mean not true.
(Grayling) Well, let me ask you.
Are you having a sexual relationship with Prison Officer Geeson? A screw? - No way.
- Thank you.
As we thought.
Buxton's a liar.
Cheers.
l want this stamped on.
l've got enough mess on my plate.
There is no mess.
lt's just Buxton stirring like l said she would.
She's trouble.
How much proof do you need? Rein in your feelings towards Buxton.
You're obsessing over her.
- Clouding my professional judgment? - ln my opinion, yes.
Like your attitude towards Fenner is clouding yours? Point taken.
Geeson is one of the few of my officers who can do the job and do it well.
Great.
That makes me feel much better.
She's a natural for the lntensive Development Scheme.
l'll make my decision tomorrow.
l'm gonna be late meeting your mate Skelton.
- We're gonna deal with her, yeah? - l know you want the book thrown.
ln the meantime, l want them both on CC.
Karen? lt's Neil.
Look, l've got a meeting with a private investigator.
He's willing to give it a go.
Well, he'll get to the bottom of what happened.
Listen, we've got to do this.
Yeah.
l'll call you.
- Sorry l'm late.
- That's all right.
- l got you a pint.
- Oh, cheers.
And here's the information you requested from Ms Betts' lawyer.
She was reluctant to hand over the notes, let alone anything more detailed.
Well, it's a start.
l'll speak to her myself.
l'm glad of your expertise.
Karen's lost hope.
She thinks no one believes she wasn't involved.
As l said to you on the phone, any incident is worth investigating.
You seem convinced she's not guilty.
l just can't guarantee the information you need to hear, you know? - l know.
- l've done some groundwork, though.
l've just been over to the police lot.
- The police lot? - Where they've got Karen Betts' car.
One of my contacts let me in.
l've been over it in some detail.
lt's quite interesting.
Well? lt was the seat and mirror positions l looked at first.
ls your Karen Betts on the statuesque side? No.
The way they're both positioned is for someone who's six foot tall.
There's a good shout it wasn't her at the wheel.
Couldn't these have been moved after the incident? l'll get Forensics onto it but this could be the lead we're after.
- l'm sorry, l'm sorry, l'm sorry! - What are you doing? You were supposed to be looking after me! Why didn't you say you did it and save me the stress? - Cos l didn't.
- How the hell would you even know? This is the last chance we've got to speak.
You're on the ghost train tomorrow.
