Rose and Maloney (2002) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Hiya.
Did you see anyone?
Recognise voices?
No, it was a big truck, that
all.
Colour, something, come on.
I'm gonna be all right.
Thank goodness.
Just cut and bruises, bit of
whiplash.
I may have to remove a testicle.
That's almost funny, Maloney.
Thank you.
What did you say to the
police?
Want to interview me this
afternoon.
Say it was an accident.
What?
Somebody just tried-
He said, make the bitch,
that's you, lay off.
The police have suppressed
evidence.
It's possible they're touchy
about it.
Craig McVay's an ex-colleague of
theirs.
What are you saying?
The police did this?
I don't know.
We don't say anything, we just
let it unravel a bit more.
I am sorry this happened.
Thanks.
You're gonna
be all right for today?
Well, they wrecked my car.
I've got a car.
What's that?
Paris-Dakar Range Rover.
It's quite invaluable, actually,
because they only made 50
with the special engine.
Special engine?
Oh, it's a bit dusty.
How valuable?
I don't know.
My dad gave it to me for my
21st.
Try now.
Ignore the petrol smell!
Is that it?
Is that the truck?
He wouldn't be that stupid.
Well, he's confident, that's
for sure.
Not a worry in the world.
You have any idea how to follow
a car?
No.
What, you want me to-
- He's getting away.
Just be inconspicuous.
Effie, I need to speak
to you about something.
It's something I found.
It's at the Isle of
Grain.
Did anyone ever search there?
No, why would they?
It's 30 miles away.
We haven't been for years.
Nobody goes there anymore.
You have one new
message.
Maloney, don't you
ever answer your sodding phone?
I'm getting a cab
to this place called Rockend
Flats on the Isle of Grain,
meet me there at 2:00, okay?
Shit.
Afternoon, sir.
I noticed you were using your
mobile phone whilst driving.
I didn't realise the
UCID on traffic duty.
If I see an offence being
committed.
Got a fair bit of power,
should think this.
It's got special engine.
Nice.
Go over the motor, Steph.
- Sarge.
Carefully.
Be in the wars?
Yes.
It's not the most scenic
places is it?
Nobody bothers with us mugs down
here.
It's not fashionable, you see.
But we do take a pride in our
policing
and we don't take to being
called incompetent or liars.
We got a headlamp out, sarge.
And the tax is outta date.
Book it.
Licence, MOT, insurance?
Nope.
Is this it?
Lindsay?
What did they do?
Rose!
Rose!
Oh, what am I doing here?
I'm trying to help you.
What is it?
He's been keeping me in
his sight, hasn't he?
All the time.
Something.
Something here.
Okay.
Shit!
You all right?
He might've been just a nutter
on a bike.
Well, at least wait for the
police.
No.
What's that smell?
It is her?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah., it's probably her.
The trouble with workin'
missing persons is
that the families always
have this optimism.
Kinda rubs off.
Part of your always believes
you can find their kids alive.
Hard to let go of that until,
well, until now.
Sometimes they're okay.
If they're okay, I usually
find them.
I'd like to think I'm good at
it.
I am good at it.
Anyway, it's down to the murder
squad now.
Inspector!
What are they doin' in here?
Give it a rest, Mike.
They're material to the case,
okay?
Where's all this come from.
He's a collector.
Blouses and ties in there.
Shoes, underwear.
And hair from them all.
All?
I'd say four.
All female.
Been worked on.
Wait here a minute, will you?
Don't you ever come
home?
Can I come in?
Bit of a bad day.
Already had a look, as it
goes.
You got some lovely things.
Actually, I just wanted to make
sure
your little friend didn't
get shaken up too much.
What?
You?
That was you?
Well, my man didn't mean to
put him
through the wall.
Just worry him a bit.
Now, I'd hate to hurt
you, Rose, obviously.
Not unless you're very, very
bad.
Shouldn't have told me then.
I know, but there's just
something about you, Rose.
Just gives me wood.
Jonathan.
Yes, love.
When you torture someone,
they lose consciousness
eventually, don't they?
Eventually.
'Cause your mind,
your mind shuts down
so that you don't know what's
happening.
You can make it so they know
everything.
Forever's such a long time.
Who was it?
A girl.
Girls.
Oh dear.
Goodnight, Rose.
How did it go?
You're back on your management
exercise.
I've been invited to take my
annual leave,
as of now.
Right.
Well that's good, isn't it?
Oh, and I should mention
that the police are citing me
for withholding evidence for 19
hours.
Did you tell them about those
tapes,
Craig and Sergeant Jackson?
You hold things back from
everyone, Rose.
It's a habit.
We don't have anything
material.
You let the cops take that tape
off you
before we had chance to look,
right?
I've said, yeah.
Look, I was scared out there,
you know?
This is, it's not me.
I think we should talk to Wendy
and-
- Look, the police are involved
here.
Wendy's too down the line.
She'll give them time
to line the Skittles up.
This way, they're
guessing what we do next.
But you're going on holiday.
Well, whatever I'm out of this
now
and you're out of my management
review.
So we're both happy, okay?
One more thing.
No.
I need someone
to come to dinner with me.
That's it?
That's it.
With a small complication.
Rosemary, darling.
Late, of course.
Goodness, your hair.
Hello, Mum.
- Hello
- Dad.
Well, we waited so long.
It's not normal to be engaged to
somebody
for two years and never
let them meet your parents.
Sure talk be.
Just very nice to meet you at
last Mickey.
Oh, yes, come in, come
in.
Come on in.
Thank you very much.
So I tell this Frenchy lock
keeper,
there's no way we're mooring
a half a million pound Sealine
cruiser
next to a filthy coal barge.
You were being provocative.
Do you cruise?
Not recently.
I understand you work
in gardens, Mickey.
Rose tells me you're almost
permanently
detained on business.
It's nice to meet a chap
who does the right thing by a
girl.
I'm sure she's mature
enough to realise it now,
but some of Rosemary's others
were
Scum.
I was going to say unsuitable,
darling.
That's all.
You'll stay the night, of
course.
No thanks, Mum.
We'll get back.
Nonsense, I've made up the
spare room.
Your mother's bought an
electric blanket specially.
Absolutely cracking thing.
Why do I agree to everything
you say?
I keep thinking it's over and-
- I can't tell Mum
that Mickey's doing life in
Durham Prison.
She's paranoid about criminals.
What's he like?
He's lovely.
I'll sleep on that sofa.
I may have been a little less
than forthcoming with you, Rose.
The thing is, I think we've
been a bit out of our depth and-
- What's that?
I took two tapes from that
truck.
Cops didn't find this one.
I thought maybe I'd let you go
on holiday
and give it to Wendy
or Inspector Kerraway.
But we can't do this, Rose.
We're involved with some
very dangerous people.
You're supposed to be my
bloody partner, you little shit.
I am not, not your partner.
He seems so nice.
She doesn't like nice men,
Manny.
No.
Rose.
Where's the other fella?
We're not working together
anymore.
So what's the problem
that can't be sorted out at the
station?
You said Craig McVay used to
work
with Jackson when he was on the
force.
Before my time, but yeah.
I think there was a tight little
group
of them working on vice.
Got broken up eventually.
I'm really taking a leap
of faith here, inspector.
This is one of two tapes
that my partner removed
from the back of Craig McVay's
truck.
What's on it?
A young girl.
Maybe 13, I don't know.
She's in a room somewhere.
She takes her clothes off
and then some men have sex with
her.
Craig McVay.
I missed it.
Great presentation.
The commissioner's were
impressed.
Thank you.
Any idea where she's gone?
I tried to call her.
No, no, she didn't say.
Rose is, she doesn't really
appreciate what I do for her.
To be honest, Derek,
I don't think she likes you.
As I said, great presentation.
When we last spoke,
we were talking about
an argument you had with
Lindsay.
Would you tell me what
that was about, David?
I think you'd found out
that your brother had got
Lindsay
to make a film at Rockend.
Bad, wasn't it?
Don't.
He'll hurt her.
Who, Lindsay?
He's already done that, David.
Cathy loves me.
He won't let her come.
He'll hurt her.
She doesn't want to come,
David.
She's with Craig now.
She goes to bed with him.
Do you understand?
I told Lindsay.
I told her I'd give her the 50
quid.
I'll give her anything.
She didn't need to be like the
others.
She wouldn't listen.
You should have stopped her.
I was gonna say
something, I was going to,
but then he asked me to
take one of them home.
She was talking to me, kept on
talkin'.
She made me do it.
She made me.
I made a mess in the van.
Let me see.
And your brother said he'd tell
on you
if you told anyone.
Yes.
Do you know what this is?
It's a small microphone.
We call it a wire.
Maloney.
Are you gonna ask me in?
Mickey's phoned a few times.
I don't know if you've-
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if I upset you.
It's okay.
I researched this on the
internet.
It's Craig McVay's squad.
They were in the papers
just after they busted
a paedophile ring.
They didn't bust them.
Craig and his pals took over the
business.
Perfect protection.
Kerraway is gonna run a wire
operation
so he's gonna take care of
things now.
It's probably best if you
stick to your proper job.
Well, the truth is
I'm kinda missing you.
When are you coming back?
I'm not coming back, Maloney.
Rose.
You should let that go.
Do you understand double
jeopardy?
Yeah, of course I do.
You can't be tried twice
for the same crime.
You have to find another
crime,
even if it's part of the
same crime, that'll do.
Okay.
I'll go.
Please just don't.
He's a very dangerous man.
Yeah, I know.
To explain it.
They last of the three
young women found dead
at Rockend Flats, Isle of Grain,
has been identified as
Phyllis Jane Morris, aged 14,
who disappeared from her
home in Middlesborough
in October, 1997.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris, who
were said to be distraught,
revealed that they had heard
from Phyllis
in a brief telephone call in
February of the following year,
saying that she was well but
unwilling to return home.
Tragically, this story
has not had a happy end.
That leaves police
wondering how David McVay,
a man diagnosed as having
serious learning difficulties-
- Joyce, it's Maloney.
Where can I get a tape
of this evening's news?
Unit three is live.
Do you think you can do
it?
I don't know.
Subject
is clearing body search.
Handing over.
You've surprised me, David.
Yeah.
You killed Lindsay.
I didn't.
But the others.
I've been trying to work it out.
How you managed to get away with
it.
I mean, that's a lot of killing.
That's not right.
I dunno.
You're smarter than I thought.
Smart enough to keep quiet
about the other things
when they ask you questions.
You tricked me.
Made Lindsay take her clothes
off.
Your friends did things to her.
That's by the by, Dave.
She got paid, just like the
others.
And they wanna show their
little tootsies to anyone.
You know about that, don't ya?
I think-
I think you killed Lindsay
and that you're-
- What are you saying, boy?
I dunno.
He can't do this.
Give him time.
Her blood was in your
van and your spunk,
you dirty little pervert.
You did that.
They said that you made
me go with that girl
to make a mess.
What are you doing?
Who's they?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
Go!
Red, blue, and green.
Go, go, go, over.
Craig McVay, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of child
pornography and murder.
I didn't kill anyone.
You don't have to say
anything
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
which you may later rely on in
court.
Anything you do say may
be given in evidence.
Let's take him away.
David!
It was David!
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
It was David!
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Of the three
young women found dead
at Rockend Flats, Isle of Grain,
has been identified as
Phyllis Jane Morris, aged 14,
who disappeared from her
home in Middlesborough
in October, 1997.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris, who
are said to be distraught,
revealed that they had heard
from Phyllis
in a brief telephone call in
February
of the following year,
saying that she was well,
but unwilling to return home.
Tragically, this story has not
had a-
Keeps askin' when
his mother's coming back.
I don't think she will.
She's done me that
favour, whatever else.
It's not your fault, Effie.
Yes it is.
Craig was always my good one.
Not like David, you know?
I wanted to keep that so much.
Too much.
You ever done something like
that?
Yeah.
I didn't want to think
about who else knew
about those caravans at Rockend.
So when the inspector said
we could press record,
it just blotted the thought out.
What?
I found the tape in
her things,
but he was nice about it.
Said there was no need to worry.
Nobody should ever see her like
that.
Rose.
What a nice surprise.
You got some fantastic stuff.
Yeah, yeah, I pick
things up.
I can't get rid of anything.
You should see the crap
that's in the garage.
It's a weakness.
So what have you been up to?
Oh, thinking.
Yeah?
What about?
Cardboard, mainly.
The semen in David's
van was there because,
because he gave into
temptation with some girl.
The cardboard with Lindsay's
blood
could have been put there by
anyone.
You display a consistent
quality of thought, Rose.
Lovely, isn't it?
You can see everything from
here.
I didn't realise you
were so near to Rockend.
It's lucky you came on a clear
day.
Rose Linden.
Yes, hi.
Well, it's somewhere nice.
You can see everything.
Sure.
Would you excuse me a minute?
I'm alone.
Rose, look, maybe I'm going
mad,
but would you think it
a strange coincidence
that DI Kerraway was the
Southern liaison officer
on all the missing persons
reports
on those other three girls.
He's there at press conferences,
meetings, everything.
No, I wouldn't find it
strange.
I'm at his house now.
Maloney, there's no need to-
Yes, right now!
Stop yelling at me.
It's okay.
Take it off.
Jesus.
You should have kept on
walking, Rose.
But that's just not your style,
is it?
You bastard!
Jesus Christ.
Maloney's called the police.
Well they're not here yet.
You killed them!
You little sad sack of shit.
They went missing.
But you're very good at
finding missing people.
Take pride in it.
I find them.
Take them back to my little
place.
Simple.
But with Lindsay,
that was really, really
appalling bad luck for her.
Pure chance.
I just happened to see them
makin' their little film.
You were there?
Well, they didn't know that.
Pathetic little perverts.
You killed her.
You put her blood in David's
van.
I'd been looking for
perfection.
And she was perfect.
All those people, they trusted
you.
I trusted you.
You bastard!
I should've known you wouldn't
stop.
You would've been wonderful
when you were younger.
Okay.
Enough.
We're both leavin'.
No, no, you don't.
You don't get away!
All right, let's go.
All right.
just
going home.
They want you to come back.
For some reason,
I think they thought I'd
influence your decision.
I'm gonna go and see Mickey
and I'll see you Monday.
Nice.
Consider yourself kissed.
