Rose and Maloney (2002) s02e02 Episode Script

[suspenseful music]
- Daniel, come on!
Hurry up!
- Where are we?
- Just come on!
[lock rattling]
Daniel!
[door bangs]
- I didn't know you were posh.
- Shut up.
- Rose?
Mum, hi.
- [Bea] It's very early.
- This is a friend of mine.
Well, he needs somewhere to
stay.
Few problems.
It's just a couple of days.
My place is too small.
- Yes, it is.
What is your friend's name?
- David?
- [Bea] Hello, David.
- Hi.
- Where's Dad?
- He's away until Thursday.
Rose, don't gobble your food.
- I've gotta go.
- You're leaving me here?
- Gotta go into work.
Just stay here and we'll
sort things out later, okay?
And you stay here.
Okay?
- Yes, dear.
And David can tell me all about
it.
- I'll be good.
[door clunking]
- [Officer] Mr. Roxton.
- Yes, that's my son.
My son, Calum Roxton.
Oh, God.
Calum, I'm sorry.
[man crying]
- Your kid's really done it this
time.
- He's not our kid.
- Oh, he so is.
[man crying]
- Why would he do that?
- Oh, maybe Calum wouldn't help
him hide.
Maybe Danny boy felt like
he was out of practise.
- You were gonna release him.
Things have changed then.
- Oh yes, things have changed.
Home Office isn't gonna
take the blame for this.
You are.
- Oh right, thanks.
- CJRA has become an
embarrassment.
It seems that these days,
every old lag alive got framed.
Every bloody month we have
to turn someone loose.
It's embarrassing.
We've had enough.
So Daniel Berrington can't be
innocent.
And luckily enough, he isn't.
You screwed up
and now we get to screw you
with a clear conscience.
- And how are you gonna do that?
- Give my best to Rose.
[suspenseful music]
[woman crying]
- Hello.
You okay?
- They said it had to go in
there
but that Calum's dad came.
- Right, are you Calum's
girlfriend?
[woman crying]
I'm very sorry.
- Why would anyone kill Calum?
He's lovely.
He's-
- I'm sorry, Katie.
Somebody did something to him.
- Mr. Roxton, my name's Maloney.
I work for the Criminal
Justice Review Agency.
- You keep away from us.
You did this!
- I'm sorry?
- Why couldn't you leave it
alone, you stupid bastards?
Can't you see what they've done
now?
- They?
Who do you mean they?
- I just wanna say to
Daniel, please think.
There's someone here would
like to speak to you.
- Daniel, whoever, or
whatever has persuaded you
to run away.
Don't do this.
Don't ruin your life looking
for something that isn't there.
We've all made terrible
mistakes,
but you need to think about
how worried people are
that you've done this.
Please, Daniel, please see
sense.
Give yourself up
and talk to the people
who are here to help you.
- Nothing on in the morning.
- Well, you can make yourself
useful then.
Can you use a saw?
- [Daniel] Yeah.
- Fine.
[phone rings]
- [Maloney] Somebody cut his
throat.
You can guess who they're saying
did it.
Look, identical injuries.
- I don't think there's
much doubt, no fingerprints.
But they found this shoe
with UV detection and the blood
spray.
He's not as clever as he thinks
he is.
- The police are not too happy.
They seem to think we encouraged
him.
- Wendy, I didn't do anything
to make him run away.
- You were told to stay away
from him.
You didn't.
Now his friend's dead, he's on
the run.
And I'm going to the Home Office
to explain why they shouldn't
close down
this agency, pending an official
inquiry.
[suspenseful music]
- Mum?
Mum?
[woman laughing]
[people chattering]
- [Daniel] You've braced it now?
[saw buzzing]
- Darling, we're having
rather a splendid time.
Did you get the day off?
- I want a word with
you, upstairs, please.
- Thank you, David.
- Thanks, Mum.
- He doesn't seem the
type to get into bother.
- Well, he is.
- I was always sorry I never had
a son.
- You say the nicest things,
Mum.
Give me your trainers.
- Why?
- Just do it!
And then your clothes.
- I'm not giving you my clothes.
- Look, somebody killed
Calum Roxton last night
and they think it was you.
His throat was cut.
- Calum's dead?
- Now, I would quite
like not to go to jail.
So we'll have your clothes in
case there's evidence on them.
I got you some stuff from Marks.
Just give me your trainers!
- What are you talkin' about?
Just leave me alone, you stupid
cow!
- Daniel, Christ knows why,
but I am risking everything,
my whole career for you.
So just tell me something.
Why me?
What are you doing here?
- I like you!
Okay?
- I need your trainers please.
[birds chirping]
Doesn't match.
- You know where my family live.
I need to speak to Matt.
- Why?
- I get really confused.
My caseworkers, they said I
must've
been remembering another time
because Matt and Calum weren't
with me.
They said it so many times,
I just believed 'em.
That I was evading the truth,
trying to get out of it.
There by myself.
I have been so messed up
now for such a long time.
[melancholy music]
- Matthew and Calum were with
you.
[suspenseful music]
Is that why Calum's dead?
That's why you're here, Daniel.
I'm the one.
I'm the one you tell the truth
to.
[suspenseful music]
What are you thinking?
- [Daniel] I don't know.
I don't remember any of this.
- Well, you must have talked
about it,
Daniel, not remembering.
To counsellors, psychologists.
- They say I disassociate.
I go somewhere else in my
head when bad things happen.
- What do you remember?
- We went to the house.
Matt was squeezing my hand, the
signal.
- [Rose] What's the signal.
- [Daniel] That everything was
okay.
That the game was okay.
- [Rose] And then?
- [Daniel] Then
[wind whooshing]
Nothing, I can't remember
anything
until Mr. Towns, how bad he
looked.
[radio muttering]
- It's not enough Daniel.
What's the game?
How much longer can you
hide from all this Daniel?
Did you always do what Matt
said?
- Matt's clever!
He's not like me.
You know, he explained stuff.
How to be good at school.
How to get people to like him.
He knew how to make my
mum and dad like him.
- Rose?
Look who it is.
- Well, here we all are then.
- I'll make some tea.
David, come and help me.
- I don't think he killed Calum
Roxton.
- Oh what a relief.
I'll have a cup of to be on my
way then.
- He ran off after the football
match in Swindon at 5:00 PM.
He'd have had to get to Dulwich,
kill Calum, find his way to
my flat, all without money.
Tracks on his shoes don't
match forensic prints.
- Rose, call the police.
- There is something here.
Calum and Matthew know what
happened to Arthur Towns.
Calum was worried enough
to try and warn us off
and now he's dead.
We need to speak to Matthew.
- Rose, no.
Please.
Why is he bleeding?
[suspenseful music]
He's bleeding from the head,
look.
Look.
Somebody's whacked him.
- [Rose] Is there anything
in his medical records?
- We don't have 'em anymore.
Your friend Bruce has got them.
- Was he knocked unconscious?
That's why he doesn't remember.
We need to speak to Matthew.
[birds chirping]
- [Maloney] I like winter
pansies.
- Yes, they're nice and
colourful.
Go away.
My husband will be back from
surgery.
- I thought maybe the police
would be watching your house.
- Daniel doesn't know where we
live.
We have a button to press
and the police will come.
- A panic button.
In case your son comes?
- You know nothing about my
family.
- You're right.
I'm sorry.
How's Matthew coping?
- Please go away.
- [Maloney] I wondered if I
could have a word with him.
- You can't.
He's gone.
[kids shouting]
- Gone where?
Where's he gone?
Oh, he's run away.
- [Alison] He's scared.
- Of Daniel?
[door taps]
Aren't you gonna answer that?
- I know you're not supposed to
be here.
Go away or I'll call the police.
[door tapping]
[dog barks]
[kids chattering]
[suspenseful music]
- Come on, open the door!
I know you're in there!
They killed my son, Alison.
We did you a favour.
We had to go to sodding
Canada because of you!
I'll tell everyone where you
live!
You ruined our lives!
[suspenseful music]
- [Rose] Hi, thanks for coming
to my flat.
- Yeah, well I'm not too keen
to be seen with you Rose.
You are kind of unfashionable.
Don't have much time for
housework then?
- [Rose] What's wrong with it?
- Okay.
So business.
Let's try not to be coy Rose,
I know you want something.
- I'd like to see Daniel
Berrington's medical reports.
I think he might've been
unconscious
when Arthur Towns was killed.
- No chance.
That material is being
reviewed by the Home Secretary.
- What does that mean, Bruce?
- It means that we're
making sure you can't
cause any more strife
'til the kid's safely banged up
again.
- You're gonna suppress
evidence?
- Nobody's suppressing anything.
He's guilty and he's still
killing people.
- You were petrified
about a CJR investigation
before Daniel escaped.
- The Home Secretary is bringing
in crack down legislation.
He wants to be vicious and
popular.
- So what's gonna happen?
- Oh, we'll probably use this
crisis to cut CJRA funding
and build more prisons instead.
And it's all down to you.
- I know you've got a
dossier on me, Bruce.
- Right, don't make me use it.
And no, you can't have the
reports.
- Well, in that case, we can go
to bed.
I did change the sheets.
- What, you wouldn't sleep with
me
if I gave you what you wanted?
- Of course not, Bruce.
Ever heard of integrity?
- A bit old labour.
[suspenseful music]
- Mr. Roxton, do you remember
me?
- Yeah.
- Will you let me sit down?
It's a terrible thing to lose a
son.
- I should never have let him
come back.
But he got into Kings.
It was my old college.
- Is Mrs. Roxton.
- She died.
Four years ago.
She was sad.
- Why?
- She didn't like Toronto.
- Mr. Roxton, Matthew and your
son said
they were at your house with
Mrs. Roxton
on the day Arthur Towns was
killed.
Is that true?
Or did something else happen?
[glass thuds]
- Please go away.
My son is dead.
He was a good lad.
Nobody can say anything else
about him.
It's over.
Don't you understand?
Those brothers, they're the
devil.
[suspenseful music]
- Go on.
[eerie music]
- Danny.
Danny.
[Daniel panting]
I think he's wet the bed.
- I'll sort him out.
- You sure?
- I've done it before, haven't
I?
- I'll get the sheets.
- You shouldn't tell me fibs,
Rose.
I know quite well who he is.
I'm not entirely stupid.
Daniel, can you wake up?
I think you've had a little
accident.
It's okay.
It's no problem.
But we need to change the
sheets.
- Honestly, he won't speak to
you.
I tried.
- You didn't try hard enough.
[door taps]
- Mr. Roxton, do you require
minibar replenishing?
You any good with locks?
- You're not gonna break in?
- What do you suggest?
[suspenseful music]
Used to be in the Scouts.
Oh, Christ.
[suspenseful music]
He's dead.
- Imipramine and vodka.
He wasn't kidding about, was he?
- Why would he have done this?
- He's lost everything and all
because of a lie they told.
The parents protected their kids
and they managed to for 10
years,
but Daniel's grown up
and he doesn't wanna keep their
secret.
- I should have spotted
he was gonna do this.
- You can't foresee everything.
Maloney, we're not supposed to
be here.
Just look around.
See if there's a note.
- What?
He's dead, for Christ's sake,
we can't just leave him here.
- And shall we hurry up about
it?
[suspenseful music]
- What are you doing?
I trust my daughter and
that's why I'm helping you,
but don't you dare make
a monkey out of her
or I'll remove your
bollocks, Mr. Berrington.
- Sorry.
She said she found my brother.
She's just
She's left me here.
- Well, you can go anytime you
like,
but I don't think you'd get far,
would you, Daniel?
- No.
- What do you want?
- If you could just tell us,
Katie,
how long you and Calum were
together?
- Not that long.
A while.
- Did he tell you what was
worrying him?
- No!
He didn't tell me anything.
He was scared, that's all.
- Of what?
What about his friend Matthew?
Was he scared of Matthew?
- Scared of Matt?
He said he was his only friend.
They used to talk on the phone.
Why would he be scared of him?
- They had a secret, Katie.
I think Matthew thought
that Calum was gonna tell.
- I don't know.
I don't know about any of this.
- Did he ever mention Daniel
Berrington?
What they did?
Something that happened
when they were younger?
- I never heard about Daniel
Berrington
before last night.
- Katie, if you do remember
anything, please ring me.
It's important.
- Sounds as if he was a nice
person.
- He was.
- Thanks.
[suspenseful music]
- Why would Calum be scared of
you?
Jesus, they think you did it.
You killed him.
- [Maloney] We've run out of
road, Rose.
- [Rose] I know.
- Maybe Matthew killed Calum.
Maybe Daniel had something to do
with it.
I don't know,
but we can't just let
them be out there anymore.
You're gonna have to turn Daniel
in
and hope the police find his
brother
before anyone else gets hurt.
And if you don't tell them
where Daniel is, I'll have to.
You understand that?
- Beaten me, hasn't it?
- [Maloney] Us.
- Yeah, well.
- No, you can't take the
credit for everything, Rose.
It's not good for your soul.
- I love it when you come over
all philosophical, Maloney.
But you don't need to be nice.
You warned me, I took no notice.
- No, you didn't.
- And it's okay.
I'll keep you out of it.
[traffic whooshing]
Go on, you go.
I'll catch the bus.
I need to think.
- [Maloney] You sure?
[suspenseful music]
[bell rings]
[knocker taps]
- [Kenneth] Daniel.
- Let me in.
- I can't Daniel.
- Please.
I wanna see Mum.
I need to speak to Matthew.
- Matt's scared.
After what you did to Calum.
- I wouldn't hurt anyone.
It wasn't me, I swear.
- I'm sorry, Daniel.
I don't believe you.
- Dad, don't, Dad, no!
[alarm wailing]
Dad, Dad, I just wanna see
Matthew.
Please, don't!
I just wanna speak to Matthew.
[suspenseful music]
Mum!
Mum, it's me, Mum!
I need to speak to Matthew.
It's important.
I just wanna speak to Matthew, I
really
[melancholy music]
Matthew!
Matt!
[alarm wailing]
[boy crying]
- No sign of him?
Children will disappoint you.
They can't help it.
You gonna ring the police?
- Yes, I think so.
Made a bit of a mess of this.
Got everyone involved.
I'm sorry.
- Well, we'll survive.
- Do I disappoint you?
- A little.
I wish you were more
sensible with yourself.
- More sensible?
- Yes, dear.
- So why'd you help me
if I'm such a let down?
- Don't be dim, darling.
I love you.
[melancholy music]
[phone beeping]
- [Maloney Recording] Maloney's
phone, leave a message.
- [Daniel Recording] Mum, Dad.
- [Kenneth] What have you done,
Danny?
They're saying that man's dead.
- Dad, my head hurts.
Where's Matt?
- Matt?
Matt's fine.
He's been with Calum all day.
- What?
- Matt's fine.
He's been with Calum all day.
- What?
Dad, what happened?
- You did something bad, Daniel.
- Dad, Dad, can you take me
home?
Please.
- [Kenneth] I can't.
I don't know you.
I don't know what you are.
- Dad, Dad, you don't mean that,
please.
Please!
Dad!
Can you take me home?
[door thuds]
Oh, Dad.
[suspenseful music]
Please, come and get me.
Please Matt.
- Don't scream or anything.
- [Daniel Recording] Matt,
please.
- [Rose] How'd you get here?
- I came with you on the bus
from Katie's.
Why are you saying I killed
Calum?
- Just please tell me
you haven't hurt her.
- What?
What are you talking about?
- I think you killed Calum
because you thought he might
tell about what happened
to Mr. Towns.
- He don't know anything about
that.
- So tell me.
- No, you wouldn't understand
anyway.
- [Rose] I'll try.
- Shut up, all right?
None of you know what it's like.
None of you've got any idea what
it's like
to have to just put up with it.
- What do you put up with
Matthew?
[door thuds]
[suspenseful music]
- Matt.
Is that you?
Hey.
- Hey.
- I was trying to see ya.
- [Matt] I'm sorry, Danny.
- I just wanted to see ya.
- [Matt] He wouldn't let me.
- You left me there.
Why did you let them lock me up?
- He wasn't supposed to die.
That wasn't the game.
- I didn't kill him.
I didn't kill anybody!
- Maloney, yeah, I know it's
late.
Can you come over?
- [Maloney] What, now?
- Yeah, right now.
Okay.
Now you're together.
You can tell us what the game
was.
[suspenseful music]
- It was always shit at our
place.
You had to be tidy.
Always had to work hard.
No television.
Mr. Town's house was different
though.
It was full of great
stuff like guns, knives,
and medals, and things.
There were no rules.
[suspenseful music]
- And the game?
- We were allowed to do bad
things there.
We had to think 'em up.
- If Mr. Towns tried to stop
us, then we'd frightened him.
[man groaning]
Until he told on us.
- So what happened that last
day?
[suspenseful music]
- After the police told us off,
we didn't go back to Mr.
Town's house for a long time.
Danny, he wasn't as clever as
me.
[suspenseful music]
That last day, Dad hadn't
let him eat with us
for a week because he'd
been bunking off school.
And each day before tea,
he'd hit him on the hands
with this metal ruler for
letting us all down again.
Daniel was miserable.
I just wanted to help him out.
[suspenseful music]
- That's very disappointing,
Matthew.
I thought you knew how to
behave.
Daniel!
- Yes?
- They have to know how to
behave, yes?
- Yes.
- Now, see what you've
done to your brother.
Hands.
[boy groaning]
[ruler thwacking]
- You couldn't do anything
against him.
Nothing.
Nothing.
- So you went to Mr. Towns?
- [Matt] We were angry.
We wanted to punish someone.
I don't think we knew
what we were gonna do.
Maybe just frighten him.
- Leave me, leave-
Go away.
What do you want?
Go away.
Leave me alone, can't you?
Just get out of here.
Go away!
What do you want?
- Go on.
[man grunting]
[glass clattering]
[man groaning]
- [Rose] Where did Calum go?
- He went back to my house to
get my dad.
- What?
- Because he's a doctor.
[melancholy music]
- [Kenneth] Jesus Christ,
Matthew.
What have you done?
[man groaning]
Oh, God!
- Danny okay?
- Go home and wait for me.
- But Danny!
- I'll take care of it.
Go home now!
- You left me?
You left me and you let me take
the blame.
- He made me.
- Just let me understand this,
Matthew.
When your father got there,
Mr. Towns was still alive.
- He said he tried to save Mr.
Towns,
but it was too late.
He came back later
and took us to Calum's house.
Spoke to Mrs. Roxton for a long
time.
He said that-
He said I was never to talk
about it.
Or think about it again.
He said-
He said he had to save his best
son.
[suspenseful music]
- [Records Clerk] Hello,
records.
- Yes, Arneson, strategy unit.
Can you release files on a
Daniel Berrington, please?
- [Records Clerk] Yep,
I'll send them straight up.
- No, I'll come and get them
myself.
- This was just delivered
by hand for Rose.
- Okay.
[people murmuring]
- Can I have the next patient
for Dr. Tierney, please?
Hello.
- [Rose] Hello, Dr. Berrington.
- My name is Tierney.
You have no right to come here.
- Well, the rights and wrongs of
things
need a little discussion.
I've met with your son Matthew.
- Matt, how did you-
Was he okay?
- Well, he's a very nice kid,
but mixed up.
About a lot of things.
- He told you.
I don't expect you to
understand.
It was a decision I took.
The boys had already been in
trouble
for attacking Mr. Towns.
I knew the police would
come looking for them.
It was a decision I took.
- To leave your own son
at the scene of a crime
to take the blame.
- They were both going to be
blamed.
I just saved the one I could.
- Your best one?
- Matthew was a bright boy.
He has a future.
- You took the boys to the
Roxton house
and concocted that alibi.
- Jane Roxton was sensible.
She made sure the police
never interviewed them.
We just tried to save those
boys.
We let them have a life.
I hoped Daniel was
being taken care of that
they could solve his problems.
- His?
Oh, his problems.
I've looked at Daniel's medical
records
After he was arrested.
They show that he'd suffered
a trauma to the head,
consistent with unconsciousness.
- [Kenneth] Really?
I don't know how that
changes what I told you.
- Oh, I think it does.
- Well, he'd had a knock to the
head
but Mr. Towns was dying when I
got there.
- Possibly.
We'll never really know that,
will we?
- I can assure you that-
- Arthur Towns's post-mortem
showed
that he'd suffered an initial
wound
to the chest when he
fell over on the glass.
But the report says it was a
separate
and deliberate jugular cut
with a razor that killed him.
Inside a minute or two.
Of course at the trial they
just presumed it with Daniel
because they thought he
was the only person there.
- So?
- So if Daniel had done that,
Mr. Towns would have been
dead when you got there.
But, as you said, Daniel was
unconscious.
Perhaps that jugular
cut happened afterwards.
Perhaps somebody else did it.
You'd already sent
Matthew away, hadn't you?
- I think we should stop talking
now.
[shoes clacking]
- [Matt] Hello, Dad.
- [Daniel] Mum gave them your
shoes.
- My shoes?
- The ones you were wearing
when you killed Calum.
You left a footprint.
- I did it for you, Matthew,
can't you understand that?
All those plans we had for
you, they were going to-
- He's my brother.
All those lies, living with
lies!
Makin' Mum lie!
I thought we killed him.
- You left me there.
- I'm not talking to you.
You caused this.
- No, you can't cause
things when you're 10.
- You ruined our lives!
You couldn't do anything.
You could could never do a thing
right!
I had to do it for you.
- You know, I think you must be
the worst person I've ever met.
Police are waiting for you.
[brakes squealing]
They say there's no such
thing as bad publicity.
You know, I've been thinking,
why didn't they have a dossier
on me?
- Nobody cares about you,
Maloney.
- No.
[melancholy music]
Come on, boys, let's see
if we can sort this out.
[melancholy music]
[suspenseful music]
