Waking the Dead (2000) s03e06 Episode Script

Breaking Glass: Part 2

Now he's shooting at people.
So I heard.
They'll take him out.
They will.
Then he WILL be a victim.
A dead one.
We've got positive ID from CCTV for Tanner and his companion.
The police know him as Patrick Rainham, aka Rainman, down-and-out.
Sells himself from time to time.
Grace, we need to put Hugh Cullen in protective custody.
Tanner is around 30, armed and dangerous.
He has been receiving psychological counselling.
Can you ask him to ring me on my mobile when he gets off of his round? Thank you.
He could've been a victim of abuse while he was a teenager in care.
Last night a security guard was shot in the shoulder by two intruders - Tanner and Patrick Rainham.
PHONE RINGS Laurie Poole.
I'll take it in my office.
You should have taken me seriously.
Instead of what? Denying the validity of recovered memory.
I'm only interested in crimes.
How many people had keys? They broke a window! Who paid Tanner's accounts here? He did.
How? He paid cash.
.
.
Anything? Lots of broken glass.
Well, there would be.
Yeah, and? How many people did you say had keys? Four of us.
DS Jordan will speak to them one at a time.
They've disconnected the hard drive.
Are the hard drives missing? Yeah, three of them.
I think you withheld information about what Tanner threatened to do to Papa Doc.
Is that true? He had feelings towards revenge.
We were working through that.
I think he got fed up working through it.
You said that in the morning you'd remember.
Comes here.
How many times have you seen him? April 12th, June 20th, September 25th, September 30th, December 3rd3rd So he picks up rough boys all the time? Yes.
Has he picked you up? June 20th.
Where did he take you? Dark.
What is it? Oh, just looking for someone.
Help yourself! Do you want to get in touch with someone? I do, yeah.
Who is it? Papa Doc.
Sorry, can't help.
Have a tea.
Hi.
Detective Superintendent Boyd.
Oliver Gill.
Head of local authority social services.
Retired head.
You want to talk to me.
Yes, I do.
Thanks very much for coming in.
Some years ago, a man in your department committed suicide.
Peter Murdoch.
How can one forget? He made a confession.
Abusing boys.
Quite dreadful.
Was there any evidence he abused boys? Did any boys say they'd been abused? I initiated an inquiry.
We never got any firm evidence.
So as far as you're concerned, this Papa Doc might never have existed.
I'll be frank.
There WERE rumours about Papa Doc, but what do you do? Wait a minute - rumours before Peter Murdoch committed suicide? Indeed.
Some boys had absconded from care.
The Arjana Centre? Professor Cullen's establishment? Yes.
Peter Murdoch had access to the Arjana Centre, didn't he? Oh, yes.
Yes, of course.
Cullen ran an open-door policy.
Did you visit the Arjana Centre? Yes, several times.
What did you see? Mayhem.
Did you see any criminal activity? All sorts of things.
Did you actually see? Did I see Peter Murdoch having sex with boys? No, I didn't.
But there was his suicide and the letter he wrote.
Has something happened to reopen all this? We're looking into the possibility that Papa Doc is still alive.
What, you mean? That it wasn't Peter Murdoch.
Yes.
You're going to have to ask him.
I know what you want to ask me about.
Hugh Cullen? Hugh Cullen, yeah.
Well, Cullen ran a free-for-all.
There were no barriers, no formality.
There was no authority, it was just anarchy.
And you didn't like that, so you'd challenge him? All the time.
He would get abusive.
Course, you know what his line was? No.
It was society that was mad.
Kevin Pearce.
Kevin Pearce.
Do you remember him? I remember him because he complained about Cullen.
About what in particular? He said he felt menaced.
Nothing more? Nothing specific.
But I took note.
Your report doesn't refer to anything of a criminal nature.
In those days What, you just didn't believe? This sexual abuse business.
We weren't alerted to it.
Even now it's hard to imagine.
Another of Cullen's boys? There were two of them.
Identical twins.
I remember something about twins.
Twins always throw up fascinating questions.
Nature? Nurture? So one of them absconded.
Is this the one that absconded? How can you tell from a photo which one absconded? Peter would have known.
He visited all the care homes.
Poor Peter.
What a terrible waste.
Why has it all opened up again, may I ask? We've received certain information.
Interview ended at 10.
45.
Can I speak to Professor Macintosh? .
.
Yes, it is Grace Foley again.
Tell DC Silver where we can get hold of you and then she'll show you out.
My card.
Thank you.
There goes Oliver Gill CBE.
Does CBE mean we believe his insinuations about Hugh Cullen? We believe everyone's insinuations against everybody until we have something more substantial to go on.
Grace none of them are my insinuations.
I know.
PHONE RINGS That'll be Alan.
When did you last see him? I've never seen him here.
He doesn't encourage visitors.
In fact, I haven't seen him face to face for seven years.
How did he seem when you talked to him on the phone? I thought he was in trouble.
And this won't help.
Don't tell him where I'm from.
You think he can't tell where people are from? DOORBELL RINGS (See who it is.
) Is Professor Cullen in? (Who is it?) Alan Macintosh.
Just tell him Alan.
(Tell him to piss off.
) Hugh, it's Alan.
Hugh? I need to talk to you.
Who's she? Her name's Grace.
May we come in for a minute? Come in for a week if that's your mad desire.
Nothing to do with you! You nosy git! Piss off.
Thank you.
Who's she and where's she from? She can speak for herself.
Then she should.
I'm a psychologist.
Oh, really(?) Couldn't quite commit yourself, eh? That's an old argument.
There's no such thing as psychology.
Like there's no such thing as society? That's a good one, that is.
You came a long way for that.
Now, listen, Mrs Psychologist, whatever, let's not quibble.
I work for the Home Office.
Talking of dark, conspiratorial places Hugh, perhaps we can sit down? Yeah, perhaps you can.
How have you been keeping? What did you tell her about me? He didn't need to tell me anything.
I've read everything you've ever written.
No, you haven't.
You've read everything I've ever published.
Indeed.
Yeah So what did you come here for, eh? What does the Home Office want with Hugh Cullen? God knows they never did before.
I'd like to talk to you about twins.
What about? You wrote this paper, Monozygotic Twins, stating if you could make a sample base of identical twins with different mental health patterns We could stuff the dreary gene police right back in their holes.
And if these identical twins didn't develop identical psychoses Stuff 'em back.
A fair number of twins in care were put out for adoption.
Hugh Hugh, you've so many friends, still, and admirers.
Really(? ) Well tickets for me funeral will be in short supply.
I'd like to show you a photograph.
People often want to show photographs.
I generally resist it.
Please.
Jonathan.
His name's Jonathan? Or Terry.
Jonathan and Terry were twins? What? Jonathan and Terry were twins.
Jonathan and Terry were twins What was their surname? We weren't interested in surnames.
Because it was part of their false selves? If you were put up for adoption, what would you think? You knew their real names, though, because you wrote about them in this paper.
"Twin boys who lived in a world that was their refuge and their own unique construction.
" Adams.
What? Their name was Adams? Christ, is that what you came here for? What happened to them? Ran away.
What, both of them? Jonno.
There was a crisis.
It was to do with relationships.
In what way? Hugh the police want to know.
I work for the Metropolitan Police.
I told her - she's living out a false self.
I help them resolve issues with a psychological dimension.
Look, the body of one of the twins has been discovered.
Hugh nobody's suggesting anything.
Where? Where did they find him? Grace? In the cellars of the old Arjana Centre.
Hugh, we're just here, informally for help.
Hugh? Oh I don't like leaving him like this.
He could go on a bender for days.
We won't be leaving him like this.
We have to take him in.
We have to talk to him.
Arrest him? Did you see his mental state? Alan, the man is in danger! We found the body of a boy who was in his care.
I know Another ex-patient is running around with a gun, looking for a man he believes abused him.
Ah.
Come on.
I WILL make sure this is handled with the greatest possible care.
Look, why don't you stay here? Explain to him as much as you think he can take on board.
Hugh Cullen is not an abuser! This former patient has been seeing a therapist who specialises in recovered memory.
Christ.
Oh, no.
You can set it up in the squad room.
Is this the one? Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah, OK.
OK, I'll come straight over.
Bye.
Paul Blackstone, the archaeologist, thinks he may have found something.
Tell Boyd I'm going over there.
Yeah.
Call me if there's anything.
ã3 ã2.
20 Add 40 I just want you to listen to me.
One of everything on the menu adds up to ã65.
45! We don't want one of everything on the menu.
Remember what we want? We want to find Papa Doc.
And he's out there.
I found this chat room.
Survivors Support Group.
I went online looking for anyone who remembered Arjana.
Anyway, this bloke comes on, he remembers and he won't give his name.
Straightaway, I'm thinking, "It could be him.
" Papa Doc.
Yeah.
He says I need counselling and,er names this place I should go to.
So I thought, "Yeah, all right, try and gain his confidence, before I arrange a meet.
" So anyway I goes along to this place and, er You remember shrinks? I told her.
You told her what he did? Yeah.
He always said what he'd do to you if you told.
That's when we were kids.
So why did you tell her? Why? I thought it might look good in my defence.
Defence? When we find him.
Frankie says Dr Blackstone may have found Kevin Pearce.
The skeleton was identified in the archive of the London Archaeological Service.
Well? Cullen's running a boarding house in Lambeth.
Pretty downmarket, mainly young men.
He seems to like being surrounded by young men.
It crossed my mind.
And? And I don't know, Boyd.
I wish I did.
We'll bring him in when we're ready.
What's going on? We think we've got Kevin Pearce.
Doctor Wharton has drawn my attention to a hairline fracture in the occipital area.
.
.
Frankie? I've taken the liberty of making up some slides already.
There's no microscopic evidence of healing, so I think the injury's post mortem.
I think the body's been dragged on hard ground by its feet.
Possibly.
So you don't have a cause of death? No, it's pretty difficult.
How did he end up being excavated by archaeologists? It's a long story.
A very long story.
.
.
What? I hadn't finished.
Tanner's real name is Adams.
Did Cullen tell you that? Yes.
Have you found any of the Arjana's records? Mel's doing it.
Did you mention Kevin Pearce to Cullen? No.
He's clearly depressive, talks when he feels like it.
Well, he's got a lot of talking to do yet.
We've got the files on the Arjana Centre.
Kevin Pearce went missing the same day as Jonathan Adams.
How did you know that? Adams is the real name of the Tanner twins.
They died on the same day.
We're ready for Cullen.
I want Macintosh there when you interview him.
Why? Because of his condition.
I want to interview Cullen under caution.
He's fragile! And there's no evidence that he's Papa Doc Just call! Do it your way! Hi.
Thanks, Mel.
Sit down.
I know it.
Hugh Cullen is not an abuser.
Let's hope that that's what we conclude.
You know, I don't know how our relationship Friendship.
Our friendship, yes.
I don't see how our friendship can survive this.
You're accusing Hugh Cullen.
Nobody's accusing him.
I wish you could understand or respect the reasons I do this work, otherwise I can't see any future for our friendship.
Hugh was a hero to me.
I know.
It's hard to see in him now, but he stood up against the system.
Maybe he wasn't the right person to run a therapeutic community, but he showed us a new way to see things.
His fall was very hard to watch.
He's still very important to me.
Well, let's hope he can remain important to you.
OK, let's get on with it.
I want you to help us clear up certain matters.
Am I under arrest? What would you imagine you might be under arrest for? I'm guilty of a great deal.
But you know that.
Kevin Pearce and the Adams twins.
Are the Adams twins the subject of this paper of yours? They had a clever game.
Which was what? Which was what? Exactly.
Please, don't talk in riddles.
You have to keep it clear for me.
You don't understand.
Riddles was the game for Jon and Terry.
I think I can help here.
Thanks very much for the offer, but it has to be Professor Cullen.
Yes, but I've written on this as well.
Children with absent parents face certain specific difficulties and they compensate.
These twins built their own moral universe with a unique defence.
Thank you.
In, erin your essay, you talk about two people sharing one personality.
More than one.
And you say one personality had psychotic tendencies.
What do you mean by that exactly? Did Jonathan Adams display a propensity to become violent or unpredictable? He suffered command hallucinations.
He thought he was being controlled.
Yet the other twin didn't? Even though they shared the same genetics, the same environment? That's what was so interesting.
Under what circumstances would Jon become violent? If he thought his twin was being threatened.
Who was Papa Doc? I don't know what you mean.
You signed a book which you gave to one of the twins, and you signed it, "From Papa Doc.
" Why did you do that? I'm not sure I can make you understand.
To make them feel safe.
To make them feel safe? How's that? Papa Doc was a fright figure, a golem.
Can you explain that? They started having fantasies about this figure they called Papa Doc.
Did they share these fantasies? Started with Pearce.
Then Jonathan.
I signed the book to make them believe that there was no Papa Doc other than me.
What was your professional opinion of the disappearance of Jonathan Adams and Kevin Pearce? The Arjana had an open-door policy.
It was part of the trust relationship Thank you.
You were saying.
I-I-I couldn't believe that Pearce had absconded on his ownon his own account.
You see, he was too dependent.
He didn't have the resources to start a new life with a new name.
You assumed he'd followed Jonathan's lead? Yes.
You were afraid that Jonathan had murdered Kevin, weren't you? Yes.
But you didn't mention that fear to anyone, did you? I didn't want The police to come to your therapy centre? No.
Hugh I was afraid.
What? That you'd be closed down? Yes.
Hugh was under attack from moralists, hypocrites You could have asked for help for Kevin Pearce's sake! I could have, yeah.
Ahem.
Let's take a break, shall we? Can I have a drink? Yes, of course.
Tea? What kind of a hero is this man again? He says there's something he wants to ask you.
He says this is about one of the twins looking for me.
I said patient.
Hugh is certain it's Jonathan.
Does he want to kill me? We think he's looking for Papa Doc.
Papa Doc was fantasy.
Papa Doc was real.
.
.
He still is.
Y-You-You mean I betrayed them? They were trying to tell you something.
They were victims of abuse.
Please can I take him home? Yeah.
How are you doing? Problems with the hard drive.
It's been reformatted on several occasions, but I can read most of it.
I'm not interested in the porn.
You want chat-room stuff.
Exactly.
I'm rebuilding those files.
Let me know when you have something.
Our guy's been online with someone called Papa Doc.
I was confused at first, because he's used that name as a password for his computer.
It's hairy stuff.
They discuss Tanner's mental state.
Papa Doc says Tanner is responsible for his own problems.
What does Papa Doc call him? Tanner goes online as Jonno, but it doesn't mean it's his real name.
He says his brother wants him to be free of his dreams.
Frankie, how can you distinguish between identical twins? Well, dental work, medical records We can't do that, can we? No, we don't have that information.
Why? This is Papa Doc? Tanner uses him like a counsellor.
What can you do about the identity of the person online? We get an order under the '99 Act.
But it doesn't always work - internet cafes, office computers Yeah, yeah Can you get me a print-out of this? Yes.
Thanks.
This is the classic manipulative relationship.
Papa Doc will have groomed Jonno, as he calls him, into an abusive relationship and now milks him for information about what he remembers.
He says he only wants to help him, cares about his welfare recommends him to a counselling service.
Huh.
Yeah New Life Direction.
Of course.
We'll deal with her later.
If this IS the real Papa Doc, why would he be doing this? Well, if it's about power, power's heightened by risk.
But Peter Murdoch killed himself.
He confessed to being Papa Doc, so why would this person log on as Papa Doc? OK, well, let's assume Murdoch isn't Papa Doc and that the suicide note was a forgery.
Why would this person blow an alibi? He achieved control over the boys as Papa Doc when they were adolescents, so maybe He's just reasserting that control? Whoever this is logged on as Papa Doc, he has an intimate knowledge of what went on at the Arjana Centre.
He knows all about Cullen's kind of therapy.
KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
Well, my department ran a check.
It seems Hugh Cullen doesn't pay for internet services or have a subscription for another ISP.
Clear, unambiguous statement of fact.
Very rare in this unit.
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
Bye.
So These are all his work things.
I was too upset to go through them.
And you haven't looked through them until now? No.
People said I should sell his books, sort out his papers and stuff, but I just couldn't face it.
I'm sorry to put you through it all again.
Is there anything specific you think might be useful to us? Yeah, well, there are these diaries.
That's not his proper office diary.
This was started a month before he died.
Detailing conversations or phone calls with someone.
"Talk to D.
" "Memo sent to D.
" "No response from D.
" Any idea who D is? It could be the department.
Did he have any concerns with his department? I don't know.
He didn't talk that much about his work.
- This IS his handwriting? Yes, yes.
- Why would he do that? Could be trying to draw attention to an abuse situation, rather than covering one up, do you think? Yeah, but if Peter was innocent of all that, you know, if it wasn't him, why did he kill himself? Well, he was found dead on a railway line.
That's all anybody knows.
Apart from an unsigned suicide note.
You can look into all this again.
You can find out if my husband did kill himself.
The coroner had the suicide note, didn't he? Yes, I gave it to him after the department gave it to me.
It was sent to the department? So who was it addressed to? Here You have the envelope.
"Friends& Colleagues".
You keep everything, you see.
You just want to hold on.
I understand.

Oh, hello.
Yes, this is Keith Fuller at Union Credit.
I need to make an inquiry about a vehicle on which we have a payment default.
EK02 TKV for Victor.
Keith? We weren't expecting you back.
I'm feeling a bit better, thanks.
I hope you've been to Mr Hampson with your medical note.
Course.
Well, it's nice to see you back.
Yeah.
And the address? Patrick Rainham - the guy Tanner was with when he shot the guard - was at the Arjana Centre at the same time as the Adams twins and Pearce.
Is that a clear, unambiguous statement of fact? Yes.
Frankie wants you.
What about? The break-in at Poole's place.
Hi, Frankie.
Hi.
Keep it simple cos my brain has turned to mush.
OK.
The carpet inside the broken window was completely free of any organic material from outside.
There's no evidence of any fibres snagged on the edges, which there would have been if someone had put their arm through.
In order to unlock the window? I think they broke it for effect.
- You interviewed the staff, Spence? - Cast-iron alibis.
So someone else must have had a key.
Jonathan Tanner - or Jonathan Adams as his real name is - has a gun and he's looking for his abuser.
He's teamed up with another survivor from the Arjana Centre.
When they find him, a murder may be committed.
What a patient says in therapy Is confidential.
.
.
he may not mean! We have some common ground, after all, Miss Poole.
But you get to choose what's true, and then you steer me towards your agenda.
I took a risk coming here.
You should have left your attitude at the door and asked for help.
We're wasting our time.
I'm not.
I'm not wasting a second of my time.
Who else had keys to your offices? You interviewed All the staff, yeah.
Someone else who wasn't there that day.
Only Oliver.
He never comes in.
He's a sleeping partner.
Oliver Gill? He is the principal investor.
What are you getting at now? Oliver Gill's the principal investor and has keys to your offices.
He owns the building.
He moved us in after we expanded.
He set up New Life Directions? He has long experience of social work.
He has brought a lot of business in.
He encourages the practice to specialise in abuse cases? Yes.
Which you assume is his public-spirited response to a widespread And neglected social problem.
Yes? Did he review your cases? We discussed it.
What are you getting at? Did he ever borrow your case notes? I suppose.
Does he have a real curiosity in abuse cases more than others? This is absurd! Do you know about his life outside office hours? How convenient for you to put us in the dock.
This is not the moment.
KNOCK ON DOOR He's not answering his home phone.
.
.
Do you have a business address for him? Clear statement of fact is what is required now, Miss Poole.
Please.
Answer the question.
He's sometimes in his studio.
Which studio? Where? After New Life Directions expanded, he said he was converting the building we were in into a studio, a photo a photographic studio.
So do you have an address or a phone number? What are you saying about Oliver? Oliver Gill staged the break-in at your offices.
And if we don't get to him quickly Jonathan Adamsmay.
Oliver Gill staged the break-in at your offices.
He sent Tanner to you.
He's known the boy a long time.
And if we don't get to him quickly Jonathan Adamsmay.
Spence.
What's your name, son? Robert.
All right with you? Music MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY Magic.

Looks like the hard drive from New Life Directions.

Clean you up first.

GUN CLICKS I wanna go.
What's the problem, Jonno? Couldn't anyone fix the hole in your soul? We don't want a firearms unit yet.
