CASSIEThank you.
SUNNYI meant ‘go home’.
CASSIEI’m trying to.
And she is walking out.
CASSIE (CONT'D)‘Night all.
And WILLETS, looks up.
WILLETSOh, Guv, sorry...
(as Cass stops)...the documents thing with Dean Barton? Turns out he changed his surname.
CASSIE(frowns)
Wow. When and why?
WILLETSAbout three months before he applied to Hendon.
CASSIEOk.
WILLETSDid it by deed poll, his real name is Dean Quinn. I’m gonna run that through PNC and maybe that’ll tell us ‘why’.
CASSIEGood stuff, call me if you get anything.
And she is finally walking out.
INT. RAM & ANNA’S HOUSE - NIGHT 84 4
And here is RAM. Sat in his sitting room, with ANNA (who was about to go out). He has obviously just told her about the investigation.

RAM(’yes’)
Listen, first of all, I didn’t doanything....
ANNA...if you ‘didn’t do anything’ why do you look so scared?
RAMOh why am I ever scared when I get investigated, Anna?

ANNAOh my god...
RAM...but if it was, I had no idea, and I swear, Anna, I had nothing to do with any murder.
And he is moving over and sitting next to her, and taking her hands, and looking right in to her eyes.
RAM (CONT'D)But yes, I am scared, as always, because I am a problem for them, I always have been, and I genuinely believe they could use this to get rid of me for good.
And she nods. Eyes down.

Which almost gets a smile from her. And then -

INT. CASSIE’S CAR. NIGHT 85 5
CASSIE in her car, outside JENNY’s house talking to WILLETS.
WILLETS ...so I’ve found nothing for a Dean Quinn, but lots for a Peter Quinn, d.o.b 1949, with his birth certificate detailing him having four sons, one of them called Dean.
CASSIEAnd when you say ‘lots’?
WILLETSDrugs, prostitution, extortion, lots of violence, spent half his life inside.
CASSIEJesus. How was the father’s record not spotted?
WILLETSWell the name change obviously helped, but Dean’s application wasn’t sent from the family home address either so, he was obviously trying to avoid just that but.....bottom line, vetting was fairly cursory back then.
CASSIEOkay.
WILLETSAnd it wasn’t just the father at it either, two of Dean’s brothers have long records as well, so this was clearly a family business.
CASSIE(digesting)
Okay, good work, Caz. Now go home. G‘night.
WILLETS‘Night, boss.
And CASSIE signs off.
And then looks over at the front door, knows, really knows she should not do this. But also knows that she is going to.

MONTGOMERYOh it was much more than ‘a pass’ I think. There was an alley to the ladies outside and he’d grabbed her there. These days you’d call it a sexual assault, Ram had interrupted it and just went for him. But bit off more than he could chew unfortunately.

SUNNYWith associated violence.
CASSIEBut no connection to Walsh - no evidence he was even in the pub.
SUNNYNo.
CASSIESo.
Both thinking. Then -
SUNNYWe pull Sidhu back in?
CASSIEExcept he’ll just deny it, not a chance we’ll get a confession out of him, and we don’t have enough to charge him. No, no arrest necessity at the moment, so I think our best bet is to divide and rule. Scare the shit out of all them with what we do know, maybe use the promise of cooperation deals, and basically make them all, individually, think we have more than we have, to then get them to turn against each other.
SUNNYI like.
CASSIESo we already have some nice stuff to use with Baildon and Grayson but let’s get more - I’d love to nail Baildon with the blood test stuff? And then we need more on Sidhu and Barton. Stuff like the phone masts that suggests collusion, that proves they’re lying to us, and allows us to ask why.

INT. BISHOP STREET. C.I.D - DAY 929 29
The whole team assembled in the office. CASSIE, SUNNY, WILLETS, BOULTING, COLLIER, LINGLEY.
BOULTINGSo Ram Sidhu has twice been accused of using excessive force. Once, eighteen years ago, in a row in a shopping centre, with a member of the public who allegedly racially abused him. And then the second time, just six years ago, with a fellow officer, who also, he claimed, used a racial slur against him. On both occasions he was cleared, but on both occasions, witnesses describe the violence as ‘coming out of nowhere’. One described him as going from nought to sixty in under a second.
CASSIEOkay, very interesting. Fran, Rob Fogerty?
LINGLEYWas a rather sad man. Worked in a variety of fairly dead end jobs after leaving the force. Did these until about ten years ago when his drinking stopped him being able to hold a job down, and then he lived on benefits and inherited money from his dad. I managed to track down a teacher at his old secondary school, who described him as a sweet boy, but one who struggled academically and one who was also ‘very easily led’.
CASSIEOkay, thank you, good stuff, and Jake.
COLLIERSo I can’t conclusively prove Baildon deliberately lost the bloods, but I can prove she was on custody duty the night the vials went missing from the fridge. I can also prove that she’d volunteered for overtime that night.

LIZApologies, that was an error.

CASSIEWould have expected better of you, Deputy Chief Constable Baildon.
SUNNYSo I want, if I may, to ask you about an incident on the 17th July 1993. Does that date ring any bells?
Oh yes it fucking does.

Nope.

Thank you, beautiful boy. *
And then setting a plate down for his father. *
RAM *And one for you. *
But his father’s eyes remain resolutely down, does not say *‘thank you’ or acknowledge his boy in any way. *
And RAM stands there. Almost smiles as his dad starts to eat.
RAM (CONT'D)Just look at me, dad.
And his dad’s fork hesitates briefly, telling us he has heard him.
RAM (CONT'D)Just once. That’s all I want. And then maybe I can stop all this shit.
And still the fork hovers. Is he going to look at him?
RAM (CONT'D)The money, the job, the lot. *
A beat.

A beat. But his father doesn’t, just resumes eating. And we *stay on RAM. Who looks utterly exhausted. And then he walks *back out in to the kitchen. *

DEAN’s mother, sitting opposite him, breath coming hard.
MARYI’m not making any excuses, I’m just trying to explain.
A beat.
MARY (CONT'D)That I was scared for my life, and more importantly yours, if I didn’t go along with him. And you’ll remember what he was like, Dean, you’ll know I had good reason to be scared.
A beat.
MARY (CONT'D)But I don’t expect forgiveness, I don’t expect love, or a relationship, I haven’t come here expecting anything. I just wanted you, my son, to know, before I die, that I love you. I always have. And that I’m sorry.
And we are on him. A long, long beat, and then finally, without looking up, he asks a single question.

BALCOMBE (CONT'D)...and I think this is a ‘Cigne’. And if it is, they have serial numbers on the nib body, which might be visible under the right light, and which might give you a purchaser name.
