"I show you, where Jesse Wells is buried." "Danny, this is a little girl." "You are as useless as your father." "Ray has to go." "Stuart took Nico to the States." "I love Mark." "Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get clean." "It's the burglar that my dad described." "Right down to the backpack he was wearing with the smiley face on it." "I still think I saw him." "Either Jesse's still alive or this is some massive hoax." "I think Jakob Marosi is behind this." "Three acts." "Act 1: target." "Act 2: pain." "Act 3: kill." "Guys..." "Where are you up to?" "Four down, one to go." "Jesse's?" "Yeah." "Do you want me to come in with you?" "Yeah, OK." "Yeah, sure." " Is that..." " It's Jesse." "Danny." "If this is what we think it is... there are 3 tapes for him." "Then Jesse's dead and Marosi was telling the truth all along." "But if that is the case, then how do we explain his DNA turning up?" "We can't." "There's no explanation." "A hoax?" "Is someone screwing with us?" "These tapes were dropped off anonymously." "This is..." "Makes no sense." "Where's Jesse's body?" "Maybe the next 2 tapes will tell us." "Try the last one." "He didn't kill him." "He was going to." "But he didn't get him." "But he didn't get him." "So, what can I do for you?" "We found your tapes." "We watched them." "For the children you murdered." "Did you enjoy them?" "There's a final one." "It starts with Jesse." "He's a target, you filmed him in a park." "But the next 2 tapes, "Pain" and "Kill", they're blank." "The time code on the first tape proves that you were there the day that Jesse went missing." "But the tapes, that meticulous ritual that you developed for the other murders suggests that you didn't kill him." "I'll tell you who else was there, under one condition." "I want to watch the tape." "The Jesse tape." "No fucking way!" "It's sick, he's toying with us." "Danny, think clearly." "It's one tape of Jesse in the park, that's it." "We show him that, he'll talk." "Tell us something vital." "Oh really, and what happens if he doesn't?" "What then?" "We show it to him, we give him something to wank over, then he smiles that sick little... smile and says: "Oh yeah, thanks, thanks for that"." "It's a risk we have to take." "Screw him, screw him, Ally." "I'm not doing it." "Then we've got nothing." "We're no further forward than we were." "Alright, fine, show it to him." "Give the sick bastard what he wants." "The one that got away." "The one film I never finished." "So what happened, Marosi?" "Come on, you've seen your video, tell us what you know about that day." "He would have been the next one." "He would, without a question." "I liked him," "I wanted him, and he was a target." "But then, when I went to lure him in... someone arrived." "Someone he knew." "And that was that." "As far as I know, that person was the last person who's seen" "Jesse alive." "Who was that person?" "His father." "Table for two?" "Actually, Alan, can we have a word in private?" "Sure, why?" "What is it, what's happened?" "We just need you to come to the station with us." "Why?" "Concerns the disappearance of Jesse." "We just need to ask you some questions." "What questions?" "What's this, Daniel?" "In the light of new information we'd like to question you about the disappearance of your son." "New information?" "From Jakob Marosi." " Oh, you're arresting me." " We're not arresting you." "Oh, like father like son." "We're not arresting you, Allen." "What new information, after all these years?" "Oh, Jesus." "I'm not coming in." "Sorry, no." "I'm not doing it." "We just wanna go over..." "Excuse me, I'm not doing it." "Alright?" "But you arrest me." "Go on, you do it." "Because that's the only way I'm coming in to discuss the disappearance of my son based on the information of Jakob bloody Marosi!" " Alan." " Come on." "You arrest me, come on." "Arrest me." "Alan Wells," "I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Jesse Wells." "Can you open up your mouth?" "Thank you." "That's fine." "Mommy!" "Are you OK?" "Good, how are you?" "Are you working?" "No, I'm not at work..." "I'm helping a friend." "So, as you know," "I can't account for myself." "I have no alibi, no corroboration." "I was at home, in my garden." "In my own garden, enjoying myself." "The last moments of pleasure before everything was ripped away." "The boys were out playing." "And I didn't want Jesse to go with Mark." "I wanted him to stay home." "But he wanted to go." "Julie went out to the shops." "She went with friend and I stayed at home, in my own garden." "And I just cut the hedges and I dug up a bit and I tidied the borders." "And at no time did you leave the house or the garden?" "No, because... because what would be the motive?" "Danny, have you ever asked yourself that?" "Why would I?" "What would be the logic?" "Why would I go out and..." "let's face it, I would kill the son I love?" "Would you?" "No, and neither would most people." "Because most normal people," "And exactly that's what I am, I'm a normal, I'm an unexceptional man, would not kill the child they loved." "In fact, the only thing that makes me exceptional, is having that child abducted." "People used to point at me." "They used to fancy me and they said:" ""Look, that's him."" ""That's the bloke that had his kid taken."" ""Do you think he was involved?"" "Your dad, he dragged me in and it was just fuel to the flames." ""It has to be the father."" ""It's always the father."" "Have you seriously asked yourself the question:" "Why?" "Why would I...?" "Dad." " Why have they done this?" " I have nothing to say." " What were they asking you?" " You need to speak to your friend." " What were they asking you?" " It's all crap!" "I'm going home." " Well, let me drive you." " No, I need a walk." "You know what?" "Maybe it is my fault." "I should never have left you in charge of him." "Why didn't I just keep him home?" "Mark!" " Mate, I tried." " It's bullshit!" " Jakob Marosi." " Marosi didn't kill him, I'm more sure than ever." " So you think that my dad did?" " Maybe nobody did, that's what we're trying to establish." " You should've waited for me..." " He was the last person to see...." " You should've waited for me!" " We have to investigate that." "Look, the Marosi tapes indicate that Jesse is still alive." "I'm trying to find him for you." "Alright." "Danny, I can't handle it." "He's naked." "He's got an erection!" "Take me back." " Take me back." " What are you doing?" "Stop that!" "She doesn't want you." "You get that?" "She doesn't want you." "And I don't want you." "Too bad." "I'm all you've got." "You told him, yeah?" "To Mark?" "You know, the love thing." "Sorry." "No, not yet." "You think I should it like the film where they just run to the streets and declare it there and then?" "If only life was like the movies, eh?" "Well yours is." "Yeah I know, it's true." "Cool soundtrack, too." "See ya." "Just visiting?" "She's had him for no time at all and she can't cope?" "Jen." "Danny, we were just getting to a good place." "I just walked through the door with a smile on my face." "Sun's shining..." "I wanted to take us all out for dinner." "This is how I want our lives to be." "We've had him for years." "I'm sorry if that makes me sound like a bitch, but..." "I can't do this anymore." "Listen to me." "Yeah, Ken?" "Yeah, bit of a strange one." "The lab spotted an anomaly." "And it's pretty significant." "Significant, like...?" "Well, I did a cross-match between Alan and" "Jesse Wells' DNA." "And they don't match." "They don't match, as in...?" "Alan Wells is not Jesse's father." "Is he my father?" "Let's just get a DNA test." "I'm gonna..." "I'm going to make some calls, see if we can get you in a bit quicker." "I don't get it." "I mean if he isn't my dad's... it's gotta be a fuck-up." "Maybe the DNA sample isn't actually Jesse." "Yeah, I thought that, too." "I've been round the streets on this one." "Mark, you know as well as I do, the simplest explanation is usually the right one." "So I'll talk to your mom." "You mean drag her in?" "No, come on." "Just me and you." "Or just you if you like." "We'll just go to her, talk with her, tell her what we know." "Ask her." "Danny, you don't think... my dad knew and he did something stupid?" "Let's just go, talk to your mom." "Hey, mom." "Well, there's no point in my denying it, is there?" "If the science says he's not Alan's, then he's not Alan's." "Did you know?" "They say a woman knows." "I didn't." "Not for definite." "Mom, am I his, am I dad's?" "Am I?" "'Coz I can take a test." "God, this all happened long after you were born." "Who was he?" "A friend." "More specifically, mom." "You might remember him." "He used to drive you to school with his two little girls, before they... they died in a car crash." "His name was Frank Lipton." "They lived on my street." "Frank Lipton." " How long did it last?" " No time." "It was..." "After his girls died, it was compassion, that spilled..." " Where is Frank now?" " No idea." "He moved away." "After Jesse went missing?" "No, much later." " When?" " A year." "Maybe two." "But he was there in the weeks after." " He helped with the search." " Why did he leave?" "New job, new town." " Did you stay in contact with him?" " No." "We were long over, he was just an old friend who'd moved away." "I made a decision." "Your dad was Jesse's dad, and that was the way I wanted it." "He deserves to know, dad." "Why does he?" "So you can break his heart?" "What is a dad anyway, hm?" "He's the man who is there every day." "The one that loves you." "And that was Alan." "We need to find Frank Lipton." "That's my friend just there." " That's alright." " Thanks." "How are you?" " Yeah, OK." " Great." "I'm starving." "I could eat a scabby dog." "Is it a dog or was it a horse?" "I don't know the expression." "Oh, thank you." "I love you." "I've always loved you." "And I know I should probably just keep my mouth shut and let things be, but I can't do that." "I can't do that, because" "I really feel like we're meant to be." "You know, because we were brought together again." "With all this Jesse stuff, it's brought us back together." "And I've never forgotten you." "And I know we were kids." "A feeling is a feeling and" "I'm not a kid and I still have that feeling." "And I know it's a mess, because..." "I'm married and I don't love him." "And I've got Nico." "But that doesn't mean we can't sort the mess." "And make it so that we're happy." "We could be really happy, I think." "I'm so sorry, I've got an itchy nose and it's the worst time." "So, so, so... go on, this is when you, just... tell me you feel the same." "And strings play and we kiss and credits roll." "Well, it's not awful, I mean it's not..." "It's not a rejection." "Mark, please don't answer that, please." "This is... we're having a moment." "Pru, it's Danny." "I think we're really close to something." "I'm really..." "I've gotta take this." "I'm just in the middle of something, can I call you back in a bit?" "No, you need to meet me at the station." "Quick as you can." "It's important." "That was quick." "I need to go meet Danny." "I really wanna talk about this." "I wanna talk about it properly." "But?" "You said it with a "but", with caveats." "And I'm just so sick of caveats." "I need clarity." "I've got to feel something real." "But go, if you have to." "Pru, I'm so sorry." "2 years after Jesse goes missing, Frank Lipton falls off the radar." "No text records, no nested insurance, nada." "I mean, complete disappearing act." "So I'm like:" "Alright, so he left the country." "But then I found this." "When he sold his house he gave his solicitor a forwarding address." "It's a cottage his mother left him." "A cottage?" "Where is it?" "Middle of nowhere." "Farming country, it's a little town called Fellington." "60 miles from here." "So he moves to a remote house just to make himself invisible." "Why would he do that?" "Fancy some country air?" "I don't know what department he's in..." "Sorry, one sec." "Hi." "Ally, is it?" "Hi, I'm Pru, a friend of Danny's." " Are you here to..." " I'm looking for Mark." "He's come to see Danny." "OK, cool." "I'll take you up." "Sorry, just a second." "I've been thinking, you know about the night we..." "Well it was all a bit "cut to the chase", you know... and..." "I'd love to take you out." "Talk, have dinner..." "This really isn't the time..." "'Coz I can tell you that smile you got is the best smile in the whole world." "Yeah, that one." "There it is again." "Can we talk about this later?" "I tell you what, I'll text you a time and a venue." "You just reply yes or not." " Sorry." " An admirer?" "Just Karl." "I'm so sorry, I tried to call but you must have left." "It's Mark." "He's been up all night, temperature and vomiting." " I'm gonna keep him home today." " Oh boy, I'm sorry." "Oh, he'll be fine." "I just don't like sending him in in this kind of state." "Sure, sure." " Hope he gets better." " Have a good day." "You OK?" "Let me see that." "This is the house." "It seems they've left." "Mickey said they left in a hurry." "I tried to call them but there's no reply." "What's with this plaster?" "That's evidence, we probably shouldn't..." "There's flax of cotton attached." "Is that how they found Jesse's DNA from that plaster?" "Did you investigate the reasons why he might have been wearing it?" "We spoke to the manufacturer, it's one of the most common plasters on the market." "But not in homes, in hospitals or immunization clinics." "There's a place less than a mile away from the murder site, it does flu shots, and holiday jabs." "We checked their records, viewed their CCTV, drew a blank." " What about blood donation?" " Checked." "All the major centers." "Nothing." "Traveling ones?" "Or the blood serviced to a sort of roaming collection." "Town halls and hotels and sport centers, that kind of thing." "Right." "I'd have to check." "Don't blood donations use a massive cotton swab?" "You have to hold it down, apply pressure." "Yeah, on the arm, but not on a thumb prick." "And they could be caught from when it was wiped." "What do I know?" "You're the detective." "But speaking as a doctor," "I don't think a flu shot would leave that much blood." "Right." "It's remote." "No one could see anything." "You can feel it, can't you?" "Let's not get ahead of ourselves." "Well, there's furniture but not much else." "Come on, let's go look inside." "It's open." "Who just leaves a house behind?" "Someone leaving in a hurry." "We've got food wrappers, drinks' cartons." "These are recent." "How can you tell?" "I'm a detective." "They also have a "use by date"." "I'll get them tested." "Someone was here." "Did you hear that?" "There's someone in the house." "Hiya." "Great." "Thank you Phillipa, this is great help." "Thank you." "The Ferry Hotel." "They only had one mobile donor service on the day of the murder." " What about the day before?" " There was nothing the day before." "And no one really would be plastered that long." "So we need to find out he gave blood that day, what's their system?" "Well, there's confidential reports on all the patients." "And all blood donors have to register with the National Blood Service." "But she did say that the tendency was to choose locations with preexisting security systems." "For the safety of the staff." "CCTV." "Come on, then." "Look, I know what this looks like, but well, no one's been here for years." " I kinda look after the place." " Look after it?" "For free." "I'm doing a favor, you know." "Not that he knows it." "I chase away the vandals and I make the the place look nice." "I live next door, down the hill." "I only come here to escape the wife." "I've got three kids at home and a crazy mother-in-law." "She's a nightmare, I tell you." "'Coz a man needs space, doesn't he?" "So I..." "This is kind of me man-cave." "Do you know anything about the people that used to live here?" "A family used to come up here." "For the holidays, you know." "In the Easter, summer." "Can you remember them?" "The man... wife, kids, what... ?" "There was a a man and woman and a... yeah, they had a little lad with them." "Might be their son, I don't know." "Do you remember any names?" "Frank Lipton?" "No, no it was..." "Ron something." "And I think his wife was called, um..." "Bev, was it?" "Or Beth?" "I'm sorry, it was a long time ago." "Get down!" "Leave him alone or I'll blow your brains out." "What, with an air rifle?" "Carol, they're the bloody police!" "Thank you, GI Jane." "The police?" "How many times have I told you to stay out of this house?" "He thinks I'm stupid." "Comes here with his baby oil and wank mags." " Oh, drinking again?" " Drinking?" "Yes." "Wanking?" "No." "I come up here to have a drink so I can get away from you, you bloody woman!" "I hate to interrupt this beautiful moment of marital bliss." "But do you happen to know the names of the people that used to own this place?" "Harkett?" "Hackett?" "Something beginning with an H." "It's in my Filofax." "I send them a Christmas card every Christmas." "You do?" "So you've got their current address?" "Sorry, it's Jen." "You'll have to come to the house." "Hey, Jen, listen." "I can't really talk right now." "Dad, dad!" "There's a fire!" "The house is on fire!" " Where's your mom?" " Inside trying to get granddad out." "He won't come out." "I'm scared." "OK, listen to me." "Call 999..." "Meg, Meg!" "Hey Danny, she's got the address at their house." "What's going on?" "There's an emergency." "I'm gonna send someone." "You have time for a brew, then?" "Police?" "I'm the manager, Steve Simmons." "How can I help you?" "There was a mobile blood session at this location on Wednesday, 15th of April." "As part of an ongoing investigation we would like to check your CCTV footage for the day." "15th of April, that's gonna be tricky." "You see, we erase the disks every seven days." "It's a file space issue." "I'm really sorry." "You OK?" "Do you see what I see?" "That camera outside that pub." "Let's see if they delete after a week." "Jen!" "We're out, we're fine." "Fire brigade are in the house now." "What happened?" "He set fire to the house." "He could've killed us all." "Ray, you can't go back in yet, it's too dangerous." "Listen to me." "You can't go back in the house yet." "Ray!" "What are you doing?" "Hit me!" "Hit me!" "Hit me, hit me!" "Are you OK?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I don't wanna be like him, Jen." "I love him, but I don't wanna be like him." "Just angry and always working and never there for his kids, I just..." "Can you help me?" "Hey, Slade." "Listen I need you to come and pick me up." "Danny's just left me at this farm house." "We've got a new lead." "I think we might be wasting our time." "I mean there's hours of this stuff." "I'm not even sure what we're looking for." "Jesse." "Right, but how do we know if we see him?" "Hi, excuse me." "We're looking for Ronald Hatchett." " First door on your right." " Thank you." "Ally." " What?" " You have to see this." "Oh my God." "Mark." "Frank." "There's the smiley face backpack." "Mark said the man he was chasing was wearing one." "It's Karl." "English text by Myca87" "Sync based on Caroline Mégret's sub ." "It's open." "Who just leaves a house behind?" "Someone leaving in a hurry." "We've got food wrappers, drinks' cartons." "These are recent." "How can you tell?" "I'm a detective." "They also have a "use"
