The Guilty (2013) s01e02 Episode Script

Ooh! Oh Touch her again, Joe Take the boys home.
I looked.
She's always in the house.
Callum! Callum! Come on now! Callum! He's not there.
'You've reached the Find Callum Campaign line.
' He'll be nine now.
Someone somewhere knows where Callum is.
We need to bring him home.
What do you think? The age is right.
I'm so sorry.
Anderton's mistakes cast a long shadow.
Just remember, this is your case.
Jason Byrne killed himself in September, two months before.
That rules him out.
Unless he had help.
You can be seen from most of the houses.
The bushes give you cover, and if they did it at night You'd still know if someone had been digging.
It's a shared garden.
Might have thought it was one of the others digging a flower bed.
In the dark? 'Luke' Luke Come on.
Claire? Claire, the police are here.
So it was Frank Lawson's idea to plant the tree? Yeah.
But, um, we were all there.
It's not like he was hiding anything.
No, sure, but if you can go back to the following days, maybe you saw something that didn't register at the time, someone in the garden who shouldn't have been.
You mean, a stranger? Anything out of the ordinary.
We planted a tree in November.
Yeah.
He'd been gone six months.
Why move him after six months, bring him back here? I don't know.
You don't think it was a stranger? We went through all this before.
First it was Jason Byrne, then someone on the street.
They wasted months looking in all the wrong places.
And now we know it wasn't Jason.
It seems unlikely.
So it must be one of us.
Have you tracked down the other neighbours? Yeah.
Joe Wightman's got a property development company in Montenegro.
What about his wife? Ex-wife.
Teresa Morgan.
They're divorced.
She's a recruitment consultant in London.
She wasn't at the tree planting but she'll give another statement.
Any luck with the au pair? No, we're still looking.
The family moved back to Germany.
She'd have been long gone by the time they planted the tree.
She was still the last one to see Callum alive.
You OK to carry on with Lenny? Er, yeah, sure.
Do you still want that presentation later? As soon as I get back.
Obviously, it's very early days, but We've noticed Sam doesn't really interact with the other children.
He's still getting to know them.
Of course.
It is a big change, the last thing we want to do is alarm you, but while Sam was doing his settling-in sessions I started to pick up lack of eye contact and also his speech There's nothing wrong with his speech.
Oh, no, he's very articulate, but there isn't much interaction.
He doesn't really have conversations.
He's four years old.
Does Sam seem to be very affected by noise at home? In what way? When things get too loud he stands with his eyes closed and his hands over his ears.
He's just messing about.
It's a thing he does.
We'll need to speak to your wife at some point.
Not right now.
Anyhow, I'm the only one that takes care of the garden.
So, you'd think you'd notice someone digging out there? I know there was nothing there when we planted the tree.
What about after? I also had a stroke a week later.
I wasn't thinking about anything else.
Most people moved away as soon as they could.
Claire was a good friend when I needed one and seeing what she was going through My son's older than hers, but still I couldn't have moved and she's always said they understood, but I always thought if I'd realised sooner about Jason Byrne You aren't the only one.
I know, but if I'd asked him what he was doing then perhaps things could be different.
Is that your son now? No.
Felix is on his gap year in Australia.
That's Martin.
You all right? My fiance.
Oh.
Has she gone back to bed? Yeah, just for a bit.
Hey.
Come here.
You understand it was an accident, yeah? Yeah.
Someone got scared and they tried to hide what happened.
That's all.
It's just really sad.
Come here.
Fucking ridiculous.
Some 19-year-old who doesn't even know him telling us He's one of the brightest kids I know, he's He's funny and loving and I know.
And there is now way I know.
It's ridiculous.
And she had a bloody moustache.
There he is.
He's still a missing person.
A uniform just found his scooter dumped in a bush three streets away.
Has anyone told the parents? Not yet.
So I'm afraid that because it's been abandoned, we need to start considering other possibilities.
What do you mean? This is absolutely the worst-case scenario, but there is a chance someone may have taken him.
Oh, my God! Sorry.
It's the third time it's done that today.
I'll take a look at it.
Take it to the garage.
Let me look at it first.
Come on, Sam.
See you later, sweetheart.
OK.
So, at 10.
45pm, most of the residents were still at the barbecue, the kids were at No 40 watching a movie which meant Callum was never by himself.
No-one remembered seeing anyone suspicious.
Of course, they were all rat-arsed.
At 10.
50, Nina Huber, that's the Reids' nanny, went back to the house Where she did or didn't meet Jason Byrne, depending on which statement you believe.
According to her final statement, he was there but he left before the boys got back.
But Ruth Hyde and a dog walker saw a man fitting Byrne's description in a Burgundy sweatshirt leaving Arcadian Gardens at 12.
15.
Thank you.
Anyway, after Nina left, Joe Wightman got into a fight with another neighbour, Sean O'Donnell, apparently concerning Teresa Morgan.
"You been looking at my wife?" Daniel Reid stepped in to separate them then he and his wife got into a little spat, apparently about not wanting to leave the party yet so Daniel took Callum and Luke home at around 11.
30pm, after which he went for a drive to clear his head.
He was picked up on several traffic cameras, came home at around 5am.
When did he drive to, Sunderland? If you'd read his statement, which you should have, he said he realised he was over the limit, pulled over and had a kip.
When he came back, he didn't bolt the door.
He doesn't remember.
He heard Luke having a bad dream, went in to settle him down, fell asleep.
Nina looked in, saw Daniel was with Luke, so she checked on Callum and went back to bed.
Don't forget the text message.
If you'd let me finish The boyfriend sent a text message saying, "Don't forget.
" She said it came while she was with Callum.
And this was just after 5am? Yeah.
Yes.
The last time Callum was seen alive.
According to Nina Huber.
Thank you.
Have we found her yet? I've traced her to an address near Dusseldorf in 2009, then it's like her and her mum disappeared.
Hardly surprising, considering the way the press went after her.
Naughty Nina, the S&M au pair.
Off shagging her boyfriend when she should've been looking after Callum.
They had a field day.
She actually said that? They think it was someone on the close? Not in so many words.
But you can see her point.
If it was a stranger, it doesn't make sense.
Have they ruled Jason Byrne out? He could've had an accomplice, someone who was still around.
Why risk bringing him back here, unless unless it was some kind of sick thrill.
They wanted to watch us suffer, knowing she was there Stop.
Please, just stop.
You've been doing the same thing for five years.
This is This is different.
Now we know.
Yeah, now we know and now we have to find a way to live with it.
How can we? I don't know, but we have to try.
We have another son who needs us.
You have another son.
I didn't mean that.
You know I don't mean that.
I just How can you not want to know? 'After a week of heated debate, tomorrow will see MPs vote on the issue for the first time.
In other news, local police have confirmed the body found in communal gardens in Addlesham is that of Callum Reid.
A friend speaking on behalf of the Reid family described' James sits next to you, yeah? Yeah.
Is he nice? He's OK.
Perhaps we could ask his mum if he'd come and play after school one day? Yeah, maybe.
Ma'am, they've traced the yarn from one of the blankets.
It's a standard blue baby blanket.
Been on sale since 2000 in about a dozen chains.
They found traces of Portland cement used in the mixing of concrete.
Reid's an architect.
And the Wightmans were having building work.
Byrne worked part-time in a builder's supply yard so on and so on.
Gives us nothing.
I can talk to the parents, see if the blanket rings any bells.
No, I'll talk to them.
Think about it.
They've got the big car, the big house.
They won't even notice.
All I need is his pin.
Or hers.
They'll think it's online fraud or hackers.
But what if they found out? They won't.
Trust me.
Morning, Luke.
It's a lovely day.
Hello.
Hope it stays like this for the barbecue.
Don't want soggy sausages, do we? Hey, Nina.
Morning.
Callum still asleep? Daniel?! Daniel, he's gone again! Callum! Daniel, Callum's gone! Callum! Callum! Callum.
We were so scared, baby.
'Callum Callum Callum Used to sit here all the time and talk to him.
' Tell him, we'd never stop looking for him, that we'd find him and bring him home.
I'm sure I'd know.
You're supposed to know, aren't you? What was it you wanted? We identified the blanket Callum was wrapped in.
It was a blue cotton baby blanket with a satin edge.
Unfortunately, it's a very common design.
We had one like that when he was a baby.
Do you still have it? Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Somewhere.
Perhaps you could check.
Hello? 'We've found her.
' Where is she? 'In a town called Schwerin in Germany.
' Right.
Where's the nearest airport? 'Hamburg but Frankfurt's close too.
' That's fine, if you can just book me a ticket.
'I'll book for the morning.
' Yeah.
'As early as possible?' Great.
Thanks.
How about school next week, yeah? OK.
Everything back to normal.
'Hi, Daniel, it's Teresa, I just I wanted to say I'm thinking of you and um, I'm so sorry.
' 'It's Mum.
I'm assuming I'm still invited tonight only I haven't heard from you.
I was hoping to hear how Sam got on at school, but, anyway' Eat up nicely or you won't have any ice cream.
I don't want any.
Sam I hope you're a polite boy when you're at school.
I'm going to talk to man about what I like doing.
What man's this? Three bits of pasta and then you can go and play.
Oh, love, I am sorry.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
They'll say he's fine, that'll be the end of it.
We'll take that bridge when we come to it.
There's nothing wrong with him.
I know, but he has his little ways, doesn't he? And you remember your Uncle Robert.
He got depressed after he lost his job.
Still, if there's a family history I'm going to pack.
What are you doing? Not now, Luke, OK? Not now.
Have you seen my passport? Not lately.
You want to talk about it? The nanny's in a place called Shwerrin or somewhere.
I'm on a flight to Hamburg.
You have to go? You can't send someone else? Just asking.
I know what you're saying.
This is my job, I can't stop working.
I'm not asking you to.
Well, that's good, given the size of our mortgage.
Maybe we need to rethink things a little, get Sam some extra help.
He doesn't need extra help.
You think he does? No, it's just What? It's things I pick up on.
You probably don't see it so much.
Because I'm never here, I'm such a crap mother, I don't know my son.
You know as well as I do he's always been a bit different.
When did that become a bad thing? Someone who's known him five minutes goes on about developmental problems because he doesn't tick some box.
You're ready to believe anything.
I can't talk to you like this.
Don't.
'This is the last call for passengers on flight 784 to Hamburg.
Now boarding at gate 21.
' It's not there.
We probably gave it away.
I know, I know, we didn't.
How about all that stuff we gave to Helen when she had Max? There were blankets in one of those bags.
Not the blue one.
I wouldn't give her that.
We brought Callum home in it.
Then you probably put it away somewhere.
No.
No, I kept it in his drawer.
I know that I did.
We're going to have to tell them.
Just call down, OK? If you start telling them things, you're going to confuse everything.
Daniel, it was Callum's blanket.
It was in his drawer and someone took it.
Do you hear what I am saying to you? It was in his drawer and someone came into the house and took it.
Just wait here for a minute.
You're sure? I kept everything where it was.
The blanket's not there.
I tried to call DCI Brand.
I got a message in German.
Yeah, she's out of the country at the moment.
In Germany.
I'm sorry, I can't say.
Nina Huber? Is she a suspect again? Mrs Reid She was in Callum's room all the time.
She could've easily taken the blanket.
She's being interviewed as a witness.
That's all.
You think that she knows something.
I'll pass this on to DCI Brand, um, I'm sure she'll be in touch.
She's still in a very fragile state, so please keep it brief.
Frau Huber? Come on, just think, it's not difficult.
Jason, please.
What's her date of birth? I don't know.
Kids, then? I don't know.
What's their birthdays? I don't know.
Well, you're a shit nanny.
Please, Jason, they will come home.
My daughter has been in hell, now at last she smiles again.
After five years.
Do you know what we had to do to make that happen? Mrs Huber, I know Nina's had a very hard time.
We can talk.
Jason wanted money from their account.
And you helped him? He took cash from the drawer, but that was all.
You said he left the house before the boys came home.
Nina I told a detective about the money.
He said I would go to prison, but if I said Jason took Callum then I could go home.
But you didn't tell him that? No, because Jason didn't do it.
But the detective wouldn't believe me.
So what did you do? Nina Nina! The party's over? 'Please.
I said he left before they came home.
He didn't? No.
' We waited until Claire was asleep.
And then you saw Jason leave? Yes.
He wanted to take Daniel's car keys.
I stopped him because they would know, and then he left.
Nina, early the next morning Jason sent you a text saying, "Don't forget.
" What did he mean? He liked to tell me what to wear under my clothes.
So he texted you at 5am to remind you? Yes.
When you were in the room with Callum? Yes.
So, you see, it couldn't have been Jason.
It didn't wake Callum? What? No, but I was by the door.
You didn't go into the room? No.
I was the other way.
But you could see him? Yes.
I could see the shape of him under the duvet.
He always slept like that.
Could you see his face? No.
But you could hear him breathing? Yes, of course.
Nina, I'm going to give you my card.
If you remember anything else, please call me, OK? OK.
Thank you.
I'd better go.
If it was Nina What? Why would she take that blanket? Why not take one from the top of the pile? Maybe she thought it wouldn't be missed? I don't know.
I'm still not even sure it's the same one.
That's why I didn't want to go rushing down there I know.
You'd rather do nothing, pretend none of this is happening.
For God's sake.
It's true.
If we'd had it your way, we'd have given up the day Callum went missing.
It's like you wanted to believe the worst.
Turned out I was right.
As long as you were right, well, that's the important thing.
I hate this.
Why do you always do this? What? Pretend like you're the only one who cares.
I lost him, too, you know? So why do I always feel like I'm on my own? 'Go on, speak to Mum, speak to Mummy.
' 'Hello, Mummy, I had mashed potatoes for tea.
I didn't eat the lumps.
And I played football with Jamie at break time.
' 'Hey, love.
Hope it's all going OK.
A date's come through for Sam's appointment, but we'll talk about it when you get home.
Um, OK, love you.
' Nina? What is it? I wanted to say about the wellies.
I'm sorry? Callum's red wellies.
He always wore them.
He wouldn't have gone out without them.
I saw them in the kitchen.
When? In the morning when we were searching.
They said they were gone.
There's nothing about this in your statement.
Did you tell anyone at the time? I told the detective.
He said I was lying.
OK.
You'd know if you'd given it away.
Of course.
That's what I told him.
For God's sake.
What is it? He's staring straight in here.
Who? Tom someone.
He did some work for us.
I'll get rid of him.
Thank you.
Can you just go away? I'm sorry.
Wellington boots? Callum wore them all the time.
If he went out on his scooter, he'd have been wearing them.
Nina Huber says they were still in the kitchen.
It suddenly came back to her? She was a liar BEFORE they carted her off to the nuthouse.
Talk to everyone else in that house, see if anyone remembers seeing them.
Ron, can I talk to you? She didn't go into the room.
She was in the doorway.
All she saw was a shape under the duvet.
May not have even been him.
He might have already been dead.
She changed her story every five minutes.
All she cared about was protecting Byrne.
You based the time of Callum's disappearance on her statement.
That's why you ruled out the parents.
Anderton had already been ruled out.
Stop telling me about Anderton.
You were there.
Yes, I was there while you were off having babies so you can swan back in smelling of roses.
I was here, up to my eyes in this shit.
You made assumptions with your crucial evidence.
Byrne killed himself, The logical conclusion was and is he did that because he knew we were on to him.
Bollocks.
He killed himself because he and his family were persecuted by the press after someone leaked his interview transcripts.
Like I said at the time, I knew nothing about that.
Right.
We done? Hi, love.
Yeah.
No, she couldn't.
No.
I know.
How many cars did the Reids have? Just the one.
Claire doesn't drive.
Daniel said he took the boys home then went out in his car.
Yes, ma'am.
So why were his car keys still on the table at 12.
15am? Maybe it was a spare set.
Maybe.
Let's bring him in.
If you only want to clarify a few things, why can't we do it here? It's easier at the station.
Dad.
It's OK.
I want to come with you.
No, no, stay with Claire.
I'll be back soon.
The night Callum went missing you said you were out driving, from just after 11.
30 till just before 5am, is that right? That's right.
Do you often drive around all night? Er, Claire and I were having problems.
We'd had a row at the party.
Best to get away for a while.
What was the row about? I didn't like it when she drank.
She didn't like it when I told her what to do.
Like I said, we were having problems.
You, er, also got into a fight with a neighbour at the barbecue? No, I broke up a fight.
Joe Wightman started getting violent.
But the way you responded was violent.
Is that how you usually react? No.
What about with your boys? No.
Never lose your temper? No, never.
Not like that.
So, er, you dropped Luke and Callum off, got straight in your car and drove away? Yeah.
So why were your car keys still on the kitchen table? At 12.
15am, Jason Byrne picked up your keys from the kitchen table.
What are you talking about? He was going to take your car, but Nina Huber stopped him.
Byrne was in the house all that time? The question is where were you? This is I don't believe this.
You were worked up, the kids played up No, no.
stop, stop.
Just stop, OK? There is CCTV of me in my car.
When I came to the house Callum was asleep in his bed.
Nina saw him.
She may not have seen him when she said she did.
Your car wasn't on camera till 3.
35, so where were you for four hours? I've told you.
I don't think you have.
I've spoken to your solicitor.
He's on his way over there.
Why take him in? We've given new statements.
New evidence? It's got to be something Nina said.
If so, why won't they talk to both of us? And why would they take They can't Listen to me, do you really believe Daniel would be capable of doing something to hurt Callum? Do you? No.
No.
No, God, no, of course not.
Oh, Luke.
Everything's going to be all right, you know.
They're just asking a few questions then he'll be home.
Come here.
I can't leave them? But you won't be leaving them, you'll be leaving Claire.
You can't stay with someone you don't love.
I should get back.
You don't have to.
I'll drive you then I'll wait half an hour.
Teresa I'll wait half an hour in case you change your mind.
I was with Teresa Morgan.
Why not say that? Because the night my son disappeared, I was contemplating leaving my wife.
For Teresa Morgan? Yes.
I went to see if she was OK.
We drove somewhere so we could talk.
When did you get back? About 12.
45.
Then you went out again? I was a mess, I couldn't let Claire see me like that, so I got in my car and And so, you lied to the people who were trying to find your son.
We'd just lost Callum.
If Claire had known I was about to leave her, too Ma'am.
She doesn't look happy.
No, she does not.
So, anything? No, there was no CCTV on Horsham Street.
They wouldn't have passed cameras between there and Arcadian Gardens.
So the dad was serving the neighbour? No-one picked up on that? Apparently not.
You got it all wrong, didn't you? We're letting him go.
Let me ring my mum, yeah? I can't let you do that.
No.
She'll be worried.
Let's go.
See you later.
Have you seen the paper today, Jason? Seen what they did to your mum's house? Not nice, is it? Sounds like they gave her quite a scare.
You got them on it.
It's nothing to do with us, but that's how it's going to be from now on.
As long as you keep saying you didn't do it.
I didn't do it.
Come on, come on, come on.
Please, I just want to Ah Don't move.
If you run, I'll fucking shoot you.
On your feet.
I just want to Shut up, keep walking.
Please, I just want to talk to you.
My name's Tom Rose and I need I want to confess.
To what? I'm sorry, it was me.
I killed Callum Reid.
