Murderland s01e03 Episode Script

Carol's story

You came because you wanted to know the truth.
Are you really sure you want to know? Don't look at me like that.
You're as beautiful now as she was.
You have to tell me everything that happened that night.
Because you were there.
This gets worse for you every minute.
You were seen.
By whom? I loved your mother! Everything I did, I did for your mother.
I promise.
Real promise.
You now know all that I know about the investigation.
You're sure? Whoever did this had a fixation on your mother, which is why you're in such danger.
Where would you even start? The parlour? I'm so, so sorry.
I phoned about work? 'That's how I can get to Whitaker.
' You the one who phoned? Yeah, Carol.
OK, Carol.
Come up.
I'll have to ask you to slip the top of your dress off.
OK.
Fine.
You worked before, I take it? Mm.
A while ago.
You sure? You don't seem the type.
What name do you use? Angel.
Angel.
OK.
We haven't had one since I was here.
You split the basics with us.
The extras are yours.
They're all 20.
Do you do oral without? No.
No.
We expect GFE.
Um, GFE.
How long has it been exactly? Six months.
GFE is girlfriend experience.
Meaning, give 'em what they want.
Back massage, turn 'em over and get on with it.
You're all right down there? No scars, surgery? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, Carol.
Can you do Tuesday from 11:00 and Friday from 6:00? Yep.
That dress'll do it, but wear more makeup.
And better heels.
Thank you.
Hello, Douglas.
I've just been to pick up my tape, which everyone seems grateful for.
Good decision of yours to clear out.
Well, it's not for ever.
Oh, yes it is.
This is a dangerous place.
And you've got more to fear than anyone.
Which means? You know what it means.
But, in case you don't understand, nobody puts their nose in this thing again.
Not ever.
OK? Hey.
There's coffee for you there.
What are you doing? I'm back in Murderland.
It happens to children that get too close to a crime.
They become obsessed.
You had it.
And I suspect you've got it again, haven't you? If I get through it, I can go home? OK.
Here's the deal.
I'll find out everything I can, even if it gets me killed, you go back to your guy and you do not go to that place and you do not wear that dress.
What have you got? Er, Tobias the builder.
Dead - cancer, a few years ago.
Philips and Oliver, still here.
And rich.
I think Philips cut him in.
And Whitaker? Won't get anything out of him.
I want to follow Oliver and Philips.
It's just a grudge.
What about that woman? That woman that my mother worked with.
Rachel? She used to be my informant.
She's already told me everything she knows.
No.
You go back to your guy.
I'm on top of this.
Sorry.
We work together.
And we keep on at Whitaker.
MAN: Yeah? Mr Whitaker? Who is it? Hello, Mr Whitaker.
I'm from the Gas Board.
We've had a few calls from people on your floor who can smell gas coming from your flat.
We just need to pop up and make sure everything's as it should be.
I can't smell anything.
I don't want to talk to you.
We do need to pop up and make our checks, for your own safety.
I said there's nothing.
All right? I wanna talk to you about the murder of Sally Walsh.
Piss off! That went well (!) Smile for the camera.
Nice big smile.
Cheese! Doug! Oliver.
It's been a long time.
We're all about to be locked in for the speeches.
You're contributing, I hope.
I think I've done enough, somehow.
So, what brings you back? A nasty smell.
A nasty smell? You know what I mean.
Always Mr Joker.
We're going down for the speeches.
OK? No, no! No! No! No! I'm sorry.
We came as soon as we could, but we got lost.
If you take us to him, we'll do the rest.
To him? Douglas Hain? There's no need to disturb you more than is necessary.
We'll take his body now, as the family requested.
All the arrangements can wait.
As I say, it won't - Who did you speak to? Mr Hain's son.
I am Douglas Hain.
I have no son, nobody has died.
Please go away.
Next time it's for real.
Get out now.
It didn't take long, did it? Now do you believe me? I dug those out as a farewell present for you.
She came here? Yeah.
Often.
Were you really gonna take us to Florida? Yes.
I was gonna buy the tickets, surprise her.
Take both of you away from here.
Days when you were out, she used to come round here about5:00.
She'd take her stuff off from the parlour, put on her 'proper' shoes.
And we'd sit and have dinner.
She left stuff here? Where? She didn't do anything wrong, you know.
She wasn't bad.
She just didn't want you to know.
What? So, you're saying it's true.
Yeah.
So that's why she was killed? Because she was a whore, like everyone says? No.
Well, yes.
She was a whore, she brought it on herself and she told me lies.
She never thought about me, always her.
That's crap.
It was just a job.
She would have told you eventually.
You're wearing her perfume.
This is the only way I can do it.
You can't help.
No.
Please don't.
It will never stop until I find out who she was.
No.
This is somemad penance.
If you'd really loved her, you'd have done more.
I did love her! That's why this insanity has to stop.
They're only after you because they're hiding something.
Don't.
Please.
Don't! Is that how it started? Then you hit her? What's it like? You always ask that.
What's it like being a cop? It's just working with vicious psychos.
That's before you leave the station.
Sounds like fun.
Heavenly mash So, tell me.
It's difficult.
But I'm acting.
That's the way I look at it.
I play a role for them, but for a limited time only.
I'm just bloody glad that Carrie doesn't have to do what I do.
And then? Then I shall be very respectable.
Won't I? Deal? You could be really good for Carrie, you know.
You think so? Really? Yeah.
Wellyou're at the top.
Nice boys.
Your one's called Tom.
Been before, I think, but What is it? Are you all right? Oh, my God.
You haven't done this before, have you? No, I have.
All right, listen.
It's a bit like acting, a bit like modelling.
Use this and it won't hurt.
Make sure you get the condom on properly, then pretend and go with it.
The one you've got, he just likes to do it.
No extras.
OK? You all right? Thank you.
Hello, Mum.
This way, love.
I knew it was you.
Always so regular.
Whitaker's there on Friday.
How did you get on? I mean, otherwise.
Yeah, I got on.
I just have to do one more shift.
Then I can get him alone.
Not that hard, then.
Just leave me alone.
All right? Wait! Wait.
It's probably just the agents.
They don't know I'm here yet, but just wait.
Are you Douglas Hain? Yeah.
Your agent let me in.
I'm trying to find any clue that will lead me to my partner.
Her name's Carol Walsh.
I think you knew her.
She left me, so I haven't involved anyone, but I'll make some tea.
I know how wrong it was to go like that.
I I felt like I didn't have a choice.
Andafterwards, what could I say to you? Hello? I'm alive? I'm sorry.
But you have to know, it's for you.
So that we can be together, I I can't explain.
Why is that not a surprise? You see? OK.
We can't talk about it.
But I love you.
And you have to trust me.
But why are you here? You're not a detective.
I just have to know.
I pushed the wedding.
I shouldn't have.
I get that now.
No.
No, it wasn't the wedding.
It was when I saw those things.
It all If you'd If you'd just give me this space.
I will pay for someone to investigate.
And I'm absolutely begging you.
I can't.
Will.
Will! She won't let me help her.
Wellshe's like her mother.
So, why are you helping her? Because I let her down before and .
.
I don't want to do it again.
At least leave a number.
Just er Just look after her.
Seems all right, your guy.
Just saying you looked very nice together.
Mobile phone was useless.
But the undertakers have a credit card.
Andrew McGrath.
Never heard of him.
Me neither.
No record, police don't know of him.
But he does work here.
I hate hospitals.
Hi.
Do you know Andrew McGrath? Who wants to know? Douglas Hain.
I thought you'd have got the message, Hain.
Oi! Ow! Stay away from me.
I don't know who you think I am, but you've got this wrong.
I know what you did, you and your friends.
Find yourself somewhere else to live - and keep the hell away from me.
Whoa, whoa! What do you mean? What do you mean?! How did he know you? He didn't know me.
He just knew my name.
I told you.
I'm being set up.
No.
No, he's too young to be one of yourconspirators.
'You and your friends.
' What aren't you telling me? Nothing.
If there was, why would I be here? To make me stop.
That's all you've done.
You've tried to keep me away from the parlour, from Oliver, Philips, Whitaker, Rachel.
Anyone who might actually know.
All I want to do is to stop you from getting hurt.
Exactly like your mother would.
Leave her out of it! If you won't tell me everything, I'm better off doing this alone.
MAN: I don't believe it! Come in.
And I didn't believe it.
Carrie Walsh.
Except it's Carol now.
You should come down your old school next week.
Big celebration.
Me and him, we've only gone and raised a million.
Douglas Hain's back.
Seen him? No.
It's stupid how paranoid we were that year.
But I do not mind freely admitting that I did not want the police coming looking round my taxes.
I was probably far too hard on Hain.
Could have been any punter.
Yeah.
Anyway, let's lighten it up a bit, shall we? Cos we do have Margharitas, and your mother loved Margharitas.
Maybeanother time.
Do you remember a parlour regular who was called Whitaker? Don't think so.
Rachel White? She worked there.
Rachel? Sure, yeah.
I haven't seen her for years.
I could probably get you a number from my office, if you want it.
Yeah.
She was a decent woman, Carrie.
Sorry.
Carol.
You know, I still think of you as Carrie.
It's a lovely place.
Yeah.
Worked hard for this.
So erm Tony Philips gave you my number.
You see him? No.
It's funny.
I used to think that er Philips had something to do with it.
But now Well, from what I hear, it was someone else.
Who? You won't like this, Carol.
It was Hain.
Mm.
They all said that.
(Oh, God.
I'm really sorry.
) I thought he loved her.
Went back to her house that night.
Never could control his temper.
Especially when he was jealous.
And later he stole crucial evidence - a condom with his own DNA on it.
How do you know? Guy called Whitaker.
Hainhad him spy on your mum.
Till he saw too much.
And he told you? No, no.
He told the police.
They got a statement.
But never found the condom, so It wasn't enough for a conviction.
Listen.
Do you want to stay here for a few days? Er, no.
Thank you.
Another time.
I'm sorry.
All right.
Well, give us a call, won't you? Yep.
Where have you been? You went back to my mother's house that night.
You didn't want me in the parlour because you didn't want me to know.
You destroyed evidence.
A condom? Had your DNA on it? Listen.
You were there.
Why do you say that? It's true, isn't it? Isn't it?! Yes, all right.
You raped her.
No.
No.
I went back.
And we had sex.
And then what? And then we argued, cos I was jealous of Oliver.
Cos she'd been with him.
Tell me.
Tell me! So, tell me.
Is that how Oliver shags you? Hm? Is that how Oliver likes to do it? Don't.
Or is it something a bit more exotic, perhaps.
You're hurting me.
Don't so this! Because he hands you the money and then he owns you.
So, what do you do for the cash? Do you go down on your knees for him? Is that what you do? You go down on your knees? Is that it?! I'm not fucking him for the money! How many times? Shh! How many time? How many times? It's not what you think.
How many times? Do you fuck him in that dress? It is like that.
It's exactly like that! Because you're a fucking whore! I've lived with it for years.
Made me feel that I did it, that I was responsible.
You hurt her.
Yes.
Yes, I did.
And I had to destroy the evidence orthey'd assume it was me.
Why do you keep lying to me? Well, think about it.
This was no sex murder.
Someone took a knife and stabbed your mother 40 times.
So, go ahead, if you like.
Say you did it.
No.
I didn't kill her.
And I never could do.
You're too good a liar.
Who told you? Why? Do you wanna kill them too? I don't see much ground for opening an old investigation on the basis of hearsay.
It isn't hearsay.
Hain admits he went back into the house on the night she was murdered.
But no confession? No.
But this man, Whitaker.
He saw it.
He made a statement to you.
We can't disclose the content of police interviews.
You're still regarded as an unreliable witness, I'm afraid.
Why? Your actions compromised a murder investigation.
Carol.
DCI Crawford has asked me to sit in because we have reason to believe you may have been compromised again.
What? We were told you might come here.
Hain? So, that's it? Carrie (OK.
) I don't understand you.
You've been hiding in the toilet half the day, so why bother? It's my regular.
Going to the toilet? Right.
Well, they'll choose me anyway.
All right, love? Come through.
This is Angel, by the way.
Me, I take it? Er, no.
Her.
You remind me of someone.
Oh? Girlfriend? No.
Nothing like that.
She used to work here many moons ago.
I was shy then.
No, leave it on.
Just the rest off.
(Yeah.
) Yeah.
I don't want a massage.
Just come here.
All right.
Agh! Agh! What are you doing? Do you feel that? Yeah, yeah.
OK.
Shall I tell you who I am? I'm Sally Walsh's daughter.
Do you remember? You took those photos of me? Aagh! You gonna let me go? You gonna talk to me? Ow! It had nothing to do with your mother.
Right? It was about you.
Me.
They wanted photos of you, that's all.
Let it go.
Who wanted pictures of me? The Friends.
It wasit was all third hand.
I'd get an anonymous letter, the name of some kid and some money for the shots.
And I'd have to send them to a a postbox.
But you must have known why.
No! I didn't wanna.
Agh! Who were the other kids? I can't remember.
Agh! It was mostly girls.
There was one boy.
McGrath.
Andrew McGrath.
Yeah, maybe.
I remember you.
You had a paper round.
The boy on the bike.
Hey! What's his problem? Andy? Been a little shit since his dad walked out.
'Douglas Hain ran The Friends.
He is back.
He deserves all you do to him.
Address below.
' Andy lived near us.
I told himyou've been set up.
Oh.
And what makes you think I'm not a member of this lovely little group? I saw a lot of you after it happened, Hain.
Remember? I'd know.
So, vicious killer, but no nonce.
How sweet it is to be trusted (!) I tried to tell people.
Nobody cared.
Someone did.
Come on.
I had a paper round.
I used to take a shortcut through the common.
They told me .
.
not to say anything.
That my mum would be hurt.
I wanted to tell.
I did.
ButI couldn't.
When I gothome that night .
.
my mum cooked this special dinner.
She said that she'd won some money.
And that we were gonna be fine.
And that's when I knew.
That someone had paid her to keep quiet.
And she's cooking roast lamb! And I still can't eat it.
What about him? No.
Him.
They had masks on.
You didn't see anything? No.
It's pointless.
Wait! WAIT! Rewind it.
Rewind it! Pause! That's her.
The woman I saw on the common that day.
I don't know why I remember her.
And now she's here.
With them! She must be one of them, mustn't she? Hello.
Do you remember me? No, I don't.
He remembers you, Rachel.
He was the little boy on the bicycle, riding in the woods.
You helped them take him, didn't you? Do you remember that? Why did you do that? Oliver, Philips and Tobias led it.
They were into fear and submission.
Usually it was girls, but um Tobias fancied the boy.
Look, I didn't like it, but everything had a price.
I was selling my body, wasn't I? I didn't Nobody went on about kids then the way they do now.
It was just likesummat different.
It started at the party that night.
They were all there.
Oliver was there? Yeah.
He was upstairs.
Get out! Hey, hey, hey.
Calm down.
What's happened? We got lost.
Right.
Well, the um party's down here, it's not up there.
Come on.
Let's get you a drink.
I recognise you, don't I? You're Carrie Walsh.
How's your mum? Your mum would have been paid a lot.
Enough to get you both out.
Then none of this would've happened.
I told her.
A night.
One night.
And you can get out.
What are you talking about? How could you even My God.
Has he done this before? They have, haven't they? How can you let them get away with that? Get out.
Go on, get out! You disgust me! Oliver was outside, said he could handle it.
He was still in Vice then.
SoI believed him.
It's just a night.
I can wait for her, make friends.
No way, you bastard.
Come on, Sal.
We've had good times.
I'm sure I can tempt you.
I've always fancied a mother and daughter.
Get out.
You're disgusting.
I've already called the police.
You and I both know that's not true.
It's just a few hours.
A lot of money.
It could be fun.
You make me sick! No, don't.
No.
No! Why did she get mixed up with a bastard like that? He forced her.
He said if she didn't he'd tell everyone about you and her.
So, she was looking out for you - both of you.
Right up to the moment she died.
She was a wonderful woman.
(I know.
) I never loved anyone like her, you know.
(I know.
) I know.
So, all that remains for me to say is thank you so much for your wonderful contribution.
I think I can safely say that this is the fastest growing sports charity in all of London.
And I think we really deserve a round of applause.
Mr Philips? There'll be plenty of time for questions later.
Are you aware of the serious allegations - I said it can wait.
Serious allegations made against you and Mr Oliver.
Sorry? My newspaper has received sworn statements linking you to criminal acts against minors.
Sorry.
I've no idea what you're talking about.
Rachel told us everything.
You're to be arrested for the murder of Sally Walsh.
Any comment about that? Crawford's charging them.
He reckons he can put them away for years.
So, your mother will have some kind of justice.
I think it's time for you to go.
I never said thank you.
And you never said sorry, either.
We'll be OK.
We will be OK.
Jesus! Oh, no! I'll see you later, sweetheart.
You'll be back before ten? That's a real promise too.
I'll be home.
Is someone here? It's a friend.
We'll talk about it later.
Love you.
Take care.
Now, when I look back, I can be proud of her.
She's no longer a secret to be ashamed of.
She was waiting for me here.
All the time.
Let's go.
