Murphy's Law (2003) s05e02 Episode Script

Season 5, Episode 2

THEME MUSIC Kim was there.
Are you sure? Unless anyone else in Norfolk's carved "K.
Goodall 4 T.
Murphy" on minging bathroom walls, yes.
What is this place? Majestic Hotel.
Closed in '79 after a fire.
We're still trying to find the owners.
I'll check it out by daylight but, apart from the minder, there was just the girl.
How's she doing? Being looked after.
Has she seen Kim? I couldn't get anything out of her the state she was in.
I'll try again.
Was bringing her out was the smartest move? I know you're all more au fait with the old cloak and dagger stuff than we are here in the sticks You'd seen the place, you wouldn't need to ask.
Maybe not, Tom.
But my point is, she'll be missed.
Baker's people will be I was careful.
Yes, I'm sure, but if you were the last person to I'll deal with it.
Look, if Kim was taken there under duress, that would fit our findings.
Forensics came through.
Blood the SOCOs had from the caravan it's hers.
We're close.
You were his mate, for Christ's sake.
You were meant to be looking out for him.
What happened? We don't know.
Yet.
I don't understand.
They told me not to talk to anyone.
Papers.
Anyone.
Kim Goodall's missing.
If it comes out that Mitch was Job, it could cost her.
MOBILE RINGS Hi.
Tom.
How are you? 'Fine.
' Good man.
Hope you enjoyed the party.
Oh, I managed to keep my elbows out of the soup.
Yeah, good.
Listen, I've got some people coming over to the house for drinks.
Be very delighted if you could join us.
One o'clock? See you then.
Some food coming later.
You look after the Duchess for me, yeah? Yes.
No problem.
Very good.
Tom.
Really glad you could make it.
Got all you want? Be a lucky man could answer that question.
Indeed.
Though you seem to have come about as close as any I've met.
Ah.
It's all relative, Tom.
But you put it like that, I suppose one mustn't grumble.
No 'suppose' about it.
I've got a swimming pool I never use, a trout stream I never fish in, horses I don't ride and a yacht I never sail.
Duchess thinks I'm mad, God bless her.
Well, what are you used to, eh? So what's with the 'Lord of the Manor'? Living the dream, Tom.
Living the dream.
My old man came from Hungary in '47.
Bookkeeper.
Worked himself blind counting other people's money.
What about you? Where's home? Wherever I lay my balaclava.
Quite right.
Quite right.
Let's wander.
Sit! GROWLING They're evil bastards.
They'll tear your throat out soon as look at you.
What about the mutts? Yeah.
The mutts, too.
Very impressive.
The Army taught me there's only three things that matter in this life - discipline, obedience and loyalty.
So, 'Training Dogs the Woodhouse Way' notwithstanding, what did you bring me up here for? Your proposal.
I believe we might be able to make an accommodation.
What happened to the day or two you needed to think it over? You command a company of hairy-arsed squaddies, Tom, you get to be a very good judge of character, and I know every sort there is, believe me.
Cowards, squealers, liars.
I can smell deceit on a man.
So what does that make me? My kind of people.
You had the stone tested.
Yeah, that too.
But just so as we're clear, I want 30% of whatever you bring in.
Just so as we're clear, you're looking at 15.
And this isn't the souk.
Don't kid a kidder, Tom.
You know we're gonna settle at 20, so why don't we just shake on it? Good.
I expect you're gonna wanna see the pipeline in operation first hand? My people will insist on it.
Milos.
That thing we've got going on later, you take Tom with you, uh.
Show him how it works.
That a problem? No.
No, it's Good.
We normally bring the steerage in ship to ship, land it by RIB along the coast, but this is our Club Class.
How, I suggest, we bring your goods in.
Less chance of a mishap.
Right? Sure.
Good.
Thank you.
So where's the drop? The sheds by Reffley Wood.
So you and the Major now, big friends, huh? Uh-huh.
So what you bringing in? You said you'd see me right, man.
I will.
You don't get antsy.
Should be ready in five.
Always Zeebrugge? Huh? Port of origin.
Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Velsen, Eemshaven.
How many you bringing across? 20, 25 How much per passenger? Three, five grand.
What, and that's once a month deal or what is it? Two, maybe three sometimes.
Ha.
Daily Mail'd love you.
That's just the containers.
With the boat to boat, we must be bringing in 200 a month.
All for agricultural? You ask a lot of questions, man.
Listen, I'm here to see how the pipeline works, if it's secure, or if I need to walk away.
So if I ask you any questions, you answer.
Understand? Sure.
Mitch, who is he? Just a driver.
Did a couple trips, moved on.
How do I know it won't get stopped and searched? Because it won't.
Terry's got a Customs guy, clears the containers.
Washes the paperwork for us.
And what's he on for his trouble? Grand a truck.
Cheap as chips, huh? Cheap as chips.
Bargain hunters.
I'm gonna check the back.
Wait here.
Where do you think you're going? In the cab.
You think? You're in the can.
No way, man.
It stinks in there! After what you just pulled, you're lucky I don't just leave you here.
Get in.
What I just pulled? You spying on me, man? You spying on me?! What's this all about, huh?! It's about safeguarding my investment.
It's about not dealing with low-rent amateur-hour dealers.
Get that fucking thing out of my face.
HORN BLASTS Point a gun at me, you gobshite?! Give me one reason why I shouldn't put a bullet in your head, huh? Don't.
Look, man It's just a bit of Charge.
For me.
For me! It just party, party.
Huh? Right? Right?! I bring my stuff in, I want another driver.
And I'll collect.
You come nowhere near it.
Sure, sure.
Whatever you want.
Just this iit's between us, right? Get in.
Up.
Get in.
Get in! HE SHOUTS IN EASTERN EUROPEAN LANGUAGE Welcome to paradise.
Come on, come on.
Get out! Out! Come on, come on, get the fuck out! Out! Get out! Let's go, let's go, let's go! Come on, come on.
Come on, let's go! Come on! (SPEAKS EASTERN EUROPEAN LANGUAGE) Come on, in! What the fuck you waiting for? In! OK.
You, you, you.
And you.
And the bonus ball is you.
Come on.
Out.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Out! Let's go.
Hey, hey, not you, kitty cat.
You don't want to go with them.
I've got some place better for you.
You get to ride with Milos, yes? So here we are at the Hotel Groovy, da? Hey, hey, it's OK, bro.
I can manage.
I'll take her.
No, no.
It's cool.
I said I'll take her.
Come on.
SHE SPEAKS EASTERN EUROPEAN LANGUAGE Where do you want her? Fourteen.
Hey, hey, Irish.
You bring a girl here last night? Fuck's it to you? She gone.
Well, she's no big loss, I'm telling you.
How's that? How's that? Bitch threw up, passed out on me.
She's done a runner, it's your lookout.
You won't be here for long.
I promise.
There's a shower down there.
D'you understand me? Shower.
MOBILE RINGS Where the hell have you been? It's a long story.
Listen, d'you get anything from Sanja? She thinks Kim might have been there, in the room next door.
I'll check it out.
Hey.
Way to go, babycakes.
Huh? Home sweet home, huh? What d'you think? Hvahlah lehpo.
Yeah? You want to thank me, yes? Hmm? You gotta do a lot better than that, yes? You going to be sweet for me, honey? Hmm? Oh, yes, you are.
I know it.
SHE SOBS What? Mmm? Hey, look what you made me do.
Huh? Oh Oh, kiss me, baby.
Come on, kiss me.
Time we weren't here.
Five minutes.
Come on.
SHE SOBS Now.
What's the matter with you? How about I've had a gutful of your Mickey Mouse bullshit.
Out! Mitch accompanied Milos on the same run at least once.
AND Milos knows Mitch is gone.
You need to move on Baker.
He's not likely to be holding Kim Goodall up at Eastleigh Hall.
You got a better notion? I've got a witness can place Kim at the hotel.
Who? Girl from last night.
Sanja.
Jackie's interviewed her.
Go on.
From what I can make out, it's a way station - a short term transit camp.
Kim's passed through.
We need round the clock surveillance.
Find out where they're taking them.
Well, you might have resources for that kind of thing, John, but my departmental budget's already stretched.
We're talking money? I thought we were talking about the life of a police officer! I appreciate you're under stress, Sergeant Murphy, but there's only so much insubordination I'll accept.
Er, call for Chief Superintendent Bowry.
Just one second.
It's the Chief Constable, sir.
Don't provoke him.
It's hard not to.
The bastard's just trying to cover his own arse.
That's as may be, but it's his ground and for now we need him.
We need surveillance.
Leave it with me.
What do you think she meant? CAR? That's if Kim wrote it.
She wrote it.
DNA'll confirm her blood, her message.
You got it off? You don't need to tell me twice.
You want me, I'm at Driftwood.
Thought I saw you.
Don't you people ever knock? Wondered if you needed anything? Such as? Whatever you're after.
Bit of blow.
Bit of flake.
Why not? That's a boy.
You know it makes sense, eh? Got some nice DVDs you're interested.
All fit birds.
No munters.
And dirty.
You ain't seen nothing like it, boy.
Arse to mouth.
DPs.
Three-ups.
You'll shit yourself.
Thank you, Barry Norman.
Go on, stick us down for a couple of grammes and four of your best toss-fodder.
MOBILE RINGS Yeah? Tom.
Everything all right? How much do I owe you? One sixty.
You'll love those vids.
Tom? Yeah, I'm here.
Your little trip out to the docks was all right, was it? Useful? We need to talk.
Yes.
Yes, I thought we might.
Meet me at Saltburgh Head.
Tomorrow.
Eight o'clock.
Yeah.
You're in for a treat there, boy.
Cheers.
Any time.
You any idea when Mitch is gonna be back? Only he owes Bill for that plastic the other day.
Wouldn't hold my breath.
See you around, then.
So? I just wondered how your trip went.
No problems? Do your own housekeeping.
Meaning? Meaning your man Milos has taken it upon himself to get into some private enterprise.
Then again, you already knew that.
You sent me over there to see which way I'd jump.
See if I'd offer him up.
To find out if I could be trusted.
Nah, it's just business, Tom.
Had to know the kind of man I was dealing with.
Yeah, well, know this.
The deal's off.
Tom, come on.
You really think I'd get involved in something like that? Workforce is one thing.
They wanna come here, good luck to them.
The girls? We're all men.
But start bringing drugs into the equation, I don't need that kind of interest.
Makes two of us.
It won't happen again.
How do I know that? You see that little boat out there? It's one of ours.
I've got a steerage cargo coming in tonight.
Like I said, it won't happen again.
I'll get a dive team out, recover the body.
If Baker's pulling strokes like this, I've got to ask.
Are you sure you're up for going the distance? Murph? If this is how Baker deals with staff problems, you think? Mitch? Maybe.
I dunno.
Milos went in weighted, so they don't want him found.
Then why not do the same with Mitch? Oh, I scored some gear off Liam.
I'll bring it by the factory later.
See how the coke compares with Kim's and the stuff I had off Milos.
Sure.
There's some porno DVDs, too.
Should have picked them up, but with Baker, it went clean out of my mind.
It's funny Mitch was talking about porn the last time I saw him.
Kiddie porn, he said.
Looking back, I thought he was spinning me a yarn.
Kim did, too.
Keeping us off the scent of the people trafficking.
Maybe he wasn't.
(I should've looked at those DVDs.
) Murph You're slipping gears.
Yeah? Yeah.
Please, go and get your head down, just for a couple of hours.
You've got to.
Or you're gonna start making mistakes.
I'll hold the fort, I'm cover.
Let me do my job.
I'll bring the stuff in later.
I know, you said.
Get some kip.
Sanja? Ah, Jesus.
'Have it! Have it!' Hiya, Tom.
Not working.
It's Tom, Billy.
Billy, it's Tom.
Yeah.
Which one, mate? Er, Dirtbox Racers.
Volume what? Four.
No worries, you're safe.
I got stacks.
What is it, jumping, or just won't play? Won't play.
I know, I've had trouble.
Dodgy batch, must be.
I told Milos they was iffy.
You moved them vids? What vids? Them vids.
You tried the motor? Here you are.
Told ya.
Here you go.
Where did you get these? Mate of Mitch's.
Milos.
Russian bloke, in't he, Bill? Eh, Bill? Russian, Milos? Nah, he's Polish.
He ain't.
He's somewhere out that way.
He's got a place over Jordan Heights knocking 'em out.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, they got these massage parlours, according to Milos.
All over the place, they are.
Apart from flogging 'em, like, the viddies is like an advert, innit? For the parlours.
Well, more of a menu, I thought.
Didn't he say? And how's that? Well, how I took him to mean it, they got the vids, right, playing on a loop in the parlours.
Get the punters in the mood.
Right.
Yeah, but also, like, say you see some slosh on there you wanna sling yer muck up, only she don't work there, you let 'em know, and they'll lay her on.
Bring her from where she is to you.
No! It's a giggle, innit? Sort of like mail order bride type thing.
'Have it.
Have it!' 'HAVE IT!' On the upside.
There's an upside? Always an upside.
We've got the word on surveillance.
Good.
Who comes, who goes.
If they're using it as a central hub, a dispersal centre.
We can build up a picture of where these girls are being taken.
Likewise the next drop of illegals.
We'll see where they're being stashed.
Where the safe houses are.
Kim could be in any of these locations.
Boss, we got something.
Where's this? Roydon Services, 38 hours ago.
Motorway? No, it's a roundabout slip road.
About ten miles from Murph's hotel.
From there she could have gone anywhere.
Is that her? It's her.
Compare and contrast with local Traf-Pol tapes for the same timeframe.
Let's see if we can pick the car up.
There's no time index, boss.
I don't care, she's alive.
38 hours.
Get to it.
Yeah.
Where are you going? Shake the tree.
I've spoken to my people.
They're keen to go.
Good.
I know you've got a boat coming in tonight, but when's the next ferry? Branko? One week Friday.
That suit? We'll be in touch.
Unless there was anything else.
Best be on your way, hadn't you, B? So? I've been thinking.
Milos having been given his cards, you're a man down.
Our thing's not exactly keeping me busy, and I don't like to kick my heels.
Course you don't.
You're a doer.
Like me.
Well, Milos used to keep the labour in check.
Clive's gonna need some help, making them walk the line.
The Scaffords are important clients, Tom.
They supply most of the major chains.
If they can't depend on us for labour, they'll go elsewhere.
Well, we can't have that.
Er, and I don't want any rough business.
You mean you don't wanna see any rough business? Thanks for coming.
It's all right.
I'm not a trouble-maker, sir, but sometimes the shift is made from 12 to 16 hours, and we have to work this.
But this extra time is not paid for.
How long have you been in this country? Four months.
What about the rest of you? Different times.
I don't know.
How is this to do What about last week? Anyone working here arrive last Sunday? Yes, sir.
Two persons.
Why do you look like that? What? Something happened? There was an accident.
Coming across from one boat to the other.
Bad weather, wind, rain.
A boy fell from the boat.
A kid went overboard? Overboard, yes.
A man jumped into water to try and save him, but They look for man and boy but find only boy.
But, please, how this is to do I'll let you know.
Tell no-one what we talked about, OK? We'll get it sorted.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Great.
Thanks very much, mate.
No, no, no, no, er Well Cheers.
So, single man, was he? The guy that died? Single? I dunno.
Why? It's a good business you've got going up there.
You don't want any family members making trouble, do you? I mean, what's the form there? Do you pay them off? I dunno, Tom.
That's all down to Milos and the Major.
Oh, yeah, sure.
But you've got your workers, haven't you? The girls? God, what's the turnover from that? It must be No, no, no, we just deal with the agricultural side, Tom.
That other side, um, we don't get into all that.
Ah.
It's not what it looked like at the party.
Eh, Clive, huh? Pretty little thing.
I'd hoped that'd be between us, Tom.
All men of the world, you know.
Be like dad, keep mum.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Little birdie tells me, though, you're a bit of a film star on the QT, eh? Um Nah, nah.
Good on you.
I mean, it's just that I have to drop by Jordan Heights on the way back.
Are you good with that? Yeah! Yeah, that's all right.
Good.
Here, come on.
Cheers.
Get it in you.
Where now? Left or right? Looks different by daylight.
Er, you wanna take a right.
Lead on, mate.
You're steadier on your feet than I am.
I don't think so.
It's all right, Sammy.
Tom's just gotta pick something up, haven't you? Yeah, that's right.
What have you gotta get, anyway? I was Just some, er, bits and pieces.
You sit tight, you sit tight there.
'Oh! Smile for the camera, kid.
' 'Whassup?' Tom.
We good? Come on.
Yeah.
Good.
PORN FILM PLAYS 'Whassup?' We'll find her.
What will we find, though, Jackie? What she's been through? Jesus.
She'll be looked after.
Yeah.
Usual vinegar and brown paper job.
I should have pulled them out.
If I'd just pulled them out You didn't know.
I should have known.
Murph, if anyone's responsible, it's Mitch.
No, no.
Whatever mistakes Mitch has made, he's square with the house.
Anyone should pay, it should be me, not Mitch, not Kim.
PHONE RINGS Baker.
Yes? We should go there again.
DOORBELL RINGS Excuse me.
Sorry to drag you out.
No, not a problem.
What do you need? Drop made to Ipswich.
Place we got there for tired businessmen.
I wouldn't have bothered you, but it's a special request.
Your man Branko not about? No, he's up for the chicken-run first thing.
Little outlet we've got in Welsh Wales.
Cardiff.
There's lovely.
Yeah.
Couple of newbies, fresh off the dock.
So, what we got? Bit of visual stimulation.
Very nice, too.
I'll sort it.
Good man.
I'll catch you later.
And whose brilliant idea was this? Yours, I suppose? Mine, sir.
For the record, DS Murphy shares your reservations.
However, I'm convinced this is the best chance we've got to recover DC Goodall.
I don't like it.
I'm up for it, sir.
I'm not putting another female officer in harm's way.
Not like this.
Not with these bastards.
Sir, I find that quite offensive.
Then you'll have to be offended.
I'd be in no greater risk than Murph's been in every day on this, and it's not as if I'd be alone.
If you're wrong I'm not wrong.
She goes wired.
Absolutely.
That's not necessary.
You go wired or not at all.
I owe you.
Yeah.
You good? Yeah.
No heroics, all right? We get in there, I'll say I wanna try out the goods.
They'll leave us alone.
We look for Kim.
Jackie? I heard you.
Don't overplay it.
Just fucking do a thing.
Come on, out.
Hi.
What's this? One more for the pot, right? What? Baker didn't call you? No.
Oh, this one's to go with them.
She's been causing grief on the slimeline at Scaffords.
Gaffer thinks this'll suit her better.
Look, don't take my word for it.
Give him a ring, he'll confirm.
Piece of shit.
Dearie me.
No signal.
'Ah, jeez.
Well, I suppose we could knock him up.
' Though I don't expect he'll be that happy about it.
Get in.
Get in.
Have a nice trip.
CAR ENGINE WON'T STAR Just not your day, is it? What's up? Fuck you think? Ah, Jesus.
We'll go in mine.
You're a pain in the hole, do you know that? You, out.

Huh? Vidsmokchy mij khuj.
Pis'ka! Hey! Hey! Hey, keep your fucking eyes on the road.
Jesus! Pis'ka.
This place we're going to, all foreign birds, is it? Most.
Why? I'm just in the mood for something homegrown, you know? Full English.
Anything like that where we're headed? I wouldn't think, but maybe.
I dunno.
Milos's gig, man.
This is Gold Attack.
'We've visual.

All units, Indigo One and Two on foot.
Oh, you made good time, Branko, love, didn't you, eh? Who's this? We was only expecting two.
Added bonus.
Somebody'll have to cutch up, then.
Hmm.
These two debutantes, is it? Welcome to the House Of Fun, love.
Right, do you wanna get 'em settled? Am I putting the kettle on, Branko, or are you doing the business first, love? I'll take care of this one.
After me, maybe.
This one needs to learn some respect.

Ambulance! Now! Jesus, Jackie, you're bleeding.
So would you if you'd just been thrown through a glass fucking door! I got him.
Good.
Well, Cole definitely clipped him.
There's blood around the window, but he got away over the backs.
Taffs have got an eye in the sky, though, so he's not gonna get far.
Goodall? No, we turned the place upside down.
It was always 20-80, Murph.
We knew that going in.
Yeah, well, Branko knows we're cops.
Cover's blown.
Murph I fucked it, Wilco.
End of story.
