"The day I met Jean was the day my dog died." "I just stood there by the side of the road, looking down at him." "He had bitten right through his tongue." "When I went out that night - that's when I met Jean." "Its funny you know, the face they show you when they meet you and the face the show you when they drop the act." "We've all got our hidden sides though haven't we?" "Our little secrets." "But darkness has layers, you just can't see them when it's all around you." "#DEAD BODIES#" "You, you, you and you, get the hell up." "Come on move." "You've broken me house." "Fuck." " What the hell's going on?" " Who are you?" "Tommy." " Come on get out." "Come on get up." "Come on my parents are going to bloody kill me." "Come on." "I said a few friends over for me birthday, not half the fucking town." "Happy birthday." " Isn't till Monday." " Well happy birthday for Monday then." "Come on, come on, come on, come on." "Who the hell are you?" " Noel, how are you doing?" "Move you ugly bastard ya." " Alright, alright." "Me parents are going to kill me." "My father's going to hold me down and my mother's going to stab me, again and again and again with a kitchen fork." "What did you lock the attic for?" " I completely forgot about it." "How the hell are we going to get home?" " Ring a taxi." "I gave my phone to some homeless dude last night." "What the hell did you do that for?" " Seemed like a good idea at the time." "There's Viv, she'll give us a lift." "Wakey, wakey." " Oh fuck." "Give us a lift will you." " Can't believe I drove here." "Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go." " #NOT IN SCRIPT#" "#NOT IN SCRIPT# What am I going to tell the neighbours?" "Yeah good question John, does anyone actually care about this election?" "Well what do you think?" "Let us know 0874 100102." "Do you have to be somewhere?" " Yeah I'm late for classes, shit." "How's college life?" " Much the same as normal life with extra books." "What are you studying again?" " Human behaviour." "So what have you learned?" " Most humans behave like arseholes!" "Need to go to college to figure that out." " What about you, still in the glamorous world of car park attending?" "Actually no, I have moved on I am now working in my local supermarket." "Pay is shite, and the hours are shite and the company's shite so it's all worthwhile." " Jean told us she moved out." "Few days ago yeah." "We were stuck in a rut or a tyre pit to be more precise." " Interesting analogy." "Are you psychoanalysing me?" " Are you scared?" " Yeah." "What if you deduced that Jean and I are perfect for each other?" "Hey that's my friend." " Jean doesn't have any friends, people don't like her." "Very nice." " Thank you." "Thanks for the lift, see you around." "See ya." "I do not feel well." " Want to come up for a coffee?" "Are you offering?" " You're making." "See the old man is still upstairs." "Jesus he keeps that fucking radio on all the fucking time." "It's driving me up the wall." " The only reason your landlord hasn't kicked you out is cause of that old man and his lease." "Don't forget that." " Yeah, yeah." " I'm just saying." "If you just say one more time I am going to have to kill you." "Spoon." "Do you want coffee?" " No." "No, see you later Tommy." "How did you get in?" " Pervy old man upstairs." "What are you doing here?" " Where were you?" "At a party." " How come you are never around when I need you?" "Jean, we split up." " I needed you last night and where were you?" "I told you." "I was at..." " You were at a party." "And that's great Tommy and how inconsiderate of me to need you last night." "How awful my timing is, what a selfish bitch I am." "I come in and that fucking lizard is roaming around," "I've been trapped in the bedroom since I got here." " He's not a lizard, he's a bearded dragon." " I want it caged." "Lewis has just as much of a right to be here as anybody else." "I'm not here to debate reptile rights okay?" "Cage it." " Cage this." "Hello Lewis." "Now." "That is disgusting." " So what..." "Why are you here?" " She acts like I am still a child, wanting to know where I've been, who I was with and she never approved of you of course." ""Get a proper boyfriend can't you?" "Hasn't he got a decent job yet?" "You can do better than him"." "God it was unbearable." "I mean doesn't she think I know that?" "I just needed a break." "How can I be an independent woman if my mother won't even get me a separate phone line?" "So you, you are going to stay here?" " A few days." "Harsh words were spoken; she said a few things she didn't mean." "Tommy." "I missed you." "Put out that cigarette, you know I hate smoking." "Getting back with Jean did have its advantages, but you know those movies where two people are forced to spend time with each other and they end up falling madly in love?" "Well that wasn't happening." " I wonder if..." "Blah, blah blah..." "McGann." " Mr Current, good morning." "Yes it is morning, well done." "I wouldn't have expected your brain to be working this early in the week." "I just called in to pick up me wages." " And we know why we weren't here on Tuesday McGann?" "Or were we given an explanation for that." "No we weren't but we were sick." "We think we've got hypochondria." "You've got a smart mouth don't ya?" "I love when people like you come here working for me, people with smart mouths always ready with an answer." "It's fun watching them over the years they spent here always dreaming of other things." "They never get to do those other things, that's you McGann." "You've got a wonderful future behind you." "Do you really think that this is going to work?" " What?" "Do you really think that this is going to work?" " What work?" "Us together..." "Us together again." "Why shouldn't it?" " Well it didn't work the last time." "We didn't give it a chance." " We said that we needed some space from each other." " We had a week of space." "How much space do you need?" "And would you please get rid of the lizard." " Sorry Lewis." "My name had apparently been discarded when I wasn't looking and replaced with 'honey' in that whiny little voice of hers that always meant that she wanted something." "Honey, are you watching that?" "Honey, can you take me out for a drink?" " Honey will you get me a pizza?" "But we've just eaten." " Well I'm hungry again." "Please." " You don't really want a pizza do you?" "It's raining outside." "With anchovies." " It will make you fat." "How dare you." " What?" " You said I was fat." "What?" "This isn't exactly a good time in my life you know?" "This is such a dump, I hate Noel and you still have that disgusting lizard thing." "I'm in college Tommy." "I have enough things to be worrying about without your tantrums." "I can't eat this." "I am in college Tommy because amazingly enough" "I haven't contented myself with being a loser for the rest of my life." "A little support would be nice." "I think you should sleep out here tonight, and maybe that might focus your mind a little." "Is she home?" " College." "When was the last time you got some exercise?" "I mean apart from riding your girlfriend." "Who woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning?" "Something you want to get off your chest Noel?" " Not me." "How's work?" "Don't start." " Angie said you didn't go for that interview yesterday." "Don't need Angie to get me a job." " No, stacking shelves is just how you want to be spending the rest of your life." "Who am I to try and get you anything better?" "Jesus, mother is that you in there?" " Look at you, you're shitting yourself." "You're so scared of failure you don't even try to succeed." "Sorry if I'm not measuring up to your standards Noel." " Grow up the fuck." "Is there somewhere you have to be Noel?" "I just dropped by to see how you were doing." " I'm great." "I'm just looking out for you Tommy." "Well you know that the three issues in which I am standing are, rehabilitation, reintegration and..." "Gordon Ellis currently leading in the national poles, today hit out at the incoming government, calling for a sterner legislation and a more responsible attitude towards the victims of crime." "No stranger to tragedy himself since the disappearance of his wife eight years ago." " Hello... so what about meeting up for a drink?" "Come on, I haven't had a really good girls' night out in absolutely ages." "We'll get all the old gang." "No not her I can't stand her now." "Well Cheryl and I aren't really speaking after..." "Well then why not just the two of us?" "Okay." "Okay bye, bye." "That was Viv." "We are meeting up for a drink next week." " How's she?" "Viv, fine." "Shoes are killing me." "Don't wear them." " I have to wear them or they'll never get broken in." "They're lethal they should come with a government health warning." "You mean like your cigarettes?" "At least my shoes don't hurt you." "Those cigarettes are killing me." "Fucking politics." "Open the window." " No." "Honey put it out." "Tommy, put it out, now look what you've done." "For fuck's sake." " You don't want this relationship to work, do you?" "What the hell did you do that for?" " You don't care about me." "You don't love me the way I love you." " That was a full pack." "Will you stop thinking about yourself for a change." "Your cigarettes are more important than me; your CDs are more important than my CDs; your things are more important than my things." "What are you talking about, what, what the fuck are you talking about now?" "Give and take Tommy." "Give and take." "That's what makes a relationship work." "You're a fucking bitch." " We're through." "We're over." "You screwed up one time too many Tommy." "I am not going to take you back." "I am not going to give you another chance, we are finished." "I don't want another chance." " This is exactly what I mean, you don't care about my feelings." " For Christ's sake, will you just leave?" "I'll leave alright." "Hate this place, your disgusting lizard." "He is a bearded dragon." " He's a walking purse." "You're a loser Tommy, my mother was right about you." "You're a selfish good for nothing, layabout slob." "I am much too good for you." "I am way out of your league." "Well you are selfish, stuck up pain in the arse." "You have no friends, nobody likes you, get out, go on out the door." "This is all you are Tommy, a few pathetic" "#NOT IN SCRIPT# on the mantelpiece." " Jesus!" "That's as good as its going to get for you." "I promise the next time I am here I will apply for membership." "No look Tommy I can't keep doing this." " Trust me." "Do you trust me?" " Not really." "Well then there's hope for you yet." "Alright?" " How's it going?" "Cool." "Finished training." "Yeah." "Are you heading home?" " Yeah in a minute yeah." "Do you want a lift?" " Yeah, alright." "Come on, come on." "Is she here?" " I hope not the fucking lunatic." "She's a bitch, get rid of her." "Dump her." "Don't you worry." "Actually I think she might have a bit of a thing about you." "That is a disgusting image." "I am disgusted." "Jesus." "Jean, Jean." "Fuck's sake." " Things like that can really screw with your head." "Did you touch her?" " Pushed her." " Shit." "But it was a tiny little push." "She must have tripped after I left." "Did you hit her?" " No." "Did you grab her, did you hold her?" " No." "She was throwing things at me and I was trying to get out the way." "You know they can construct the entire thing from a few bruises on a corpse." "It's not a corpse." "She's my girlfriend." " Was." "Did she hit you?" " No, it was, it wasn't a fight." "This is messed up." " What, it was an accident Noel." "Christ." " It was an accident." " What if they don't believe you?" "It wasn't my fault." " You killed her." " I didn't do it on purpose." "I didn't do it on purpose." "I didn't do it on purpose." "Just give me a second here." "Just give me a second." "A manslaughter charge will put you in prison." " Shut up!" "I am not going to prison for her." "Give me your car keys." " Why?" "Don't fucking talk Noel just listen to me." "Give me your keys." "Right, go home." "Forget about this." "You never saw it." "You never saw Jean lying here, you're not fucking here right now okay?" "Get out Noel." "Don't tell anyone about this." "Just forget about it." "I needed a plan." "Get rid of the clues." "Get rid of the body." "This wasn't as bad as it seemed, apart from the fact that I now had a dead body in the back of the car." "Where do you hide a body?" "Where do you hide a body?" "Get rid of the body." "Get rid of the clues." "Get rid of the body..." "Get rid of the clues..." "Holy shit." "Thanks for coming in Mr McGann." "We'll let you know as soon as we hear anything." " Is that it?" "She's over 18, she is an adult." " Frank." "Thanks." "We'll keep an eye out." " Okay, thank you." "Some people are funny." "Even after the most horrific of circumstances they can still convince themselves that everything is okay." "Take my friend Noel." " Here." "Getting plastered isn't just great therapy, it's also great fun." "Master of denial." " A toast to people who are not here and to getting on with life." "Let's get pissed." "Hey." "Alright?" "Any news, any word from Jean?" "None." "Listen, we are getting drunk now." "Do you want to join us?" "No, you're fine, we are going to get a seat somewhere." "Nonsensical, he's boring me anyway." " I am you know." "Well it would be rude just to leave you here then." "This is Helen." " Hello Helen, Viv's told me all about you." "Has she now?" " No I am lying she has never mentioned you." "Helen, this is Noel, his hobbies include train spotting, stamp collecting and bed wetting." " Hello Noel." "How are you, don't believe a word he says, I never collected stamps." "She's great, she's smart, she's funny, well maybe not funny exactly, but she's smart." "I'm pretty sure she's smart, is she smart?" " Yeah Jean is a smart girl okay;" "she's going to come back." " I hope so." "So many weirdoes out there so many psychos." "Everything's going to be fine." " Yeah." "Listen, if you ever need to talk, okay." "You know Jean I don't think she looked too kindly on that." " Are you right there, folks?" "Yeah we're coming." " On what?" "We're friends, what, she doesn't like you spending time with friends?" "No and especially those that look like you." "Was that a complement Tommy?" " Was it complimentary?" "Yeah I think it was." " Well then take it as a compliment." "Did you notice that?" " What?" "That awkward silence there, did you notice that?" "That was amazing." "Yeah, that was the first awkward silence where I didn't feel awkward." "You see I'm always trying to think of something to say, but there wasn't any pressure." "And is that a good thing?" " Yeah, of course it is." "Good." " You know couples who have been together for years live in those silences;" "if they were awkward then they wouldn't be together, would they?" "We are not a couple." " Oh yeah." "Well you've got to admire that." " Direct and to the point." "Well..." " What?" "Come on or we'll miss our bus." "Listen, this probably goes against the whole friendship, code of conduct thingy and I'm sure Jean is waiting for you at home right now, but are you busy tomorrow?" "Do you want to do something?" " Come on." "Okay." " Okay cool." "Give me a call tomorrow about two." "See ya." "Come on." "Stud." " Slut." "Well?" " Is this a hot date for you?" "Listen, you can tell a lot about a person by the Roll Shot test okay," "I am just curious." " About me?" " Yeah well, you're interesting." "It's an act, ask Noel." " You are very defensive aren't you?" "No I'm not, you are." "It looks the same as the other two, all ink blots look like butterflies, am I the only person to see this?" " Look just use your imagination okay, forget butterflies." "Look at the pattern and tell me the first thing that comes into your head." "Hermaphrodite sex." "Two anorexic angels screwing on top of a bus." "Great big fat woman being pleasured by a disembodied head." " Tommy." "Sorry but that's definitely a butterfly, but he's having sex." "So you like getting into people's heads?" " Yeah well I like to try." "Analyze me." " You sure?" "Okay well, you're smart, and you like to surprise people with this from time to time, you keep people on their toes." "You don't like stupid people, you don't like boring people." "And you don't like people who try and tell you what to do." "You have a problem with authority." " I wouldn't call it a problem." "You like to play by your own rules and you have a secret that you don't want me to know about." " Do I now?" "Well you asked me to analyze you and you immediately adopt a defensive posture, your arms folded, using the table as a barrier." "You asked me as a challenge, but you don't really want to be found out." "You see now you are covering your mouth." "There is something you don't want to tell me." "It's a deep dark little secret isn't it?" "Okay, my turn." "You're smart and you know it." "You're beautiful and you know that too." "But you have some ridiculous idea that admitting it would be rude." "You like animals; you want to work with children." "Old people don't annoy you, world peace is a good idea, and you are really beginning to fancy me." " Now that's interesting." "Your shoulders are square to me, your knees are pointing towards me, quick to smile, your eyes are lingering and you keep fixing your hair." "And all this means that I fancy you, does it?" "You're beginning to blush." "You think you can read body language." "I think I can read your body language." " Interesting theory." "You okay?" " Yeah." "Toby, where are you?" "Toby?" "Toby?" "Toby?" "Hey." " Viv, hi." "I'm not interrupting you am I?" "You seem busy." " My record is seven high," "I'm going for one better." " Is that wine?" "What if they fall over?" "They'll probably break." "How the hell did you get into college?" "Excuse me." " Never mind." "My boss will be back in a minute, give us that box there will you?" "Okay." "It's beautiful." "Listen I was wondering if you are not doing anything later maybe you'd like to come and see a film, with me," "you know if you want, you know as friends." "Sure." " Okay great well, after I finish classes" "I'll come and pick you up yeah." "Shit." "Jesus Christ McGann, what the hell have you done?" "Well you see they fell sir." " I can see that." "Clean that mess up." " It's my break time now." " Get out." "You're fired." "What about my pay?" " You've already broken four weeks salary in wine." "But I don't get paid in wine, I get paid in money, I haven't broken any money." "Get out of here you little shit." " There's no need to be rude about it sir, you're scaring a valued customer of ours here." "Fuck off." " Come on, we're going." " Bye." "I'm going to have you up on charges." "Willful destruction of property." "What you are doing right now is tantamount to shoplifting McGann." "I hope you remember this when your stuck in the welfare queue for the rest of your miserable life." " What, can't hear you, can't hear you!" "Waste of space and always will be." "You really are fucking pathetic." "I quit." "Well that was crap." " Yeah well I wanted a romantic comedy." "Sorry but I make it a rule to avoid any film that has 'wedding' in the title." "That is so unfair." " Hey if you wanted fair you should have brought Helen." "Helen's in class." " And why aren't you in class?" "Hey." " Hey." " Mr McGann." "Detective Inspector Wheeler, can I have a word?" " Yeah." "It's about your girlfriend." "Is it alright to smoke?" " Go right ahead." "It must be a trying time for you." "First reports indicate she died of a single blow with a blunt object." "Oh my god." "Your girlfriend wasn't the only one we found." "What?" " There was another body, a woman." "We haven't identified her yet but we will, she's been there a few years." "Now you last saw Jean the morning she disappeared." "Yeah." "When she went off to college." "And she didn't return home." " No." "How was it between you two?" " Fine." "We are going to keep this out of the news until we know what we are dealing with." "Don't want to start a panic now, do we?" "What are you going to do?" " Don't know." "It's a bad situation." " Yeah." "No it is yeah, thanks for clarifying that for me." "I can't believe she's dead." " What's it to you anyway?" "You couldn't stand her." " I hate French films but that doesn't mean I am going to bomb Paris." "What do you want me to do, do you want me to turn myself in?" "Is that what you want?" "Do you want me in prison, I killed her?" "It was an accident but I still killed her I acknowledge this." "You seem very calm." " Yeah no I'm cool like that." "You could have made it look like a break in or something." "I did what I thought was best at the time." "Looks like you did it on purpose now." "I know what it looks like thank you Noel, but it was an accident;" "let's not stray too far from that minor detail." " This isn't right." "What you think I like this?" "Do you think I'm proud?" "I am not a murderer Noel alright?" "I'm not a fucking murderer." "I never really liked her anyway." "Was Jean politically active?" " Sorry?" "Did she attend fundraisers, anything like that, was she involved in political debates?" " I wouldn't imagine, so no." "Do you know this woman?" " Who is she?" "Kathleen Ellis." "Ever seen her before?" "No." " She's been identified as the other victim, the first victim." "Disappeared eight years ago." "Never seen her before?" "Sorry." "Right, we are done here." "I need you to come in tomorrow to take your statement." " Sure." "So there you go Noel, that's the situation now." "Tommy don't walk away from me, I'm talking to ya." "So why didn't you tell me?" " I didn't want you to freak alright." "Why would I freak about a second fucking body I mean why would I freak about that?" "Just a councilor's wife from years ago." "What councilor?" " That councilor." " Last night a visibly shaken" "Gordon Ellis asked news crews and photographers for some privacy following the discovery." "Ellis, who's ahead in the poles hasn't yet released an official statement, but close friends say he's deeply distraught and concerned about what he calls 'the disturbingly amateurish approach the authorities have taken to the investigation'." "Detective Inspective John Wheeler declined to comment but a police spokesperson insisted..." "And so father we comment the mortal remains of our beloved daughter Jean to your everlasting care and devotion." "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." "Amen." " Amen." "How are you feeling?" "Just give me a minute, will you?" "Hey." "How are you?" "I'm great thanks Tommy, how are you?" "Anyway I'm probably the last person you want to hear from right now so, I'll go." "I never loved you Jean, but I liked you, sometimes." "Cheers now, thanks for waiting." "See you mate." " Take it easy Tommy." "See you Viv." "Excuse the noise." "Hello Mr O'Leary." "What do you want?" " We got an anonymous call earlier today." "Who from?" " Didn't say." "That's why they call it anonymous." "What are you looking for?" " The caller knows you." "And he knows your flat." "Knows everything about you, Tommy." " What the fuck?" "John." "And you'd told me you'd never seen Kathleen Ellis before." "Come on." "Let's go." "Someone planted those photographs alright?" "Someone just walked in there and planted them did they?" "Yes." "No smoking." "How was the funeral?" " It was great laugh, priest got the names mixed up and they dropped the coffin." "Saw a few trophies in your flat." "You box?" "I used to do karate." " What belt?" " Black." "Fairly impressive." "Why'd you leave?" "Got bored." " Really?" "I have spoken to some people about you." "Now I'm not one for psychological profiling Mr McGann but I do feel you'd make an interesting study." "I've heard numerous reports of your bad temper." "Do you have a bad temper Tommy?" "An inclination to strike out perhaps?" "Were you using your old Kung Fu to control that temper?" "So what happened to that temper when you stopped?" "I used to box." " Yeah I know." "Picture on the wall in your office." " Oh yeah, yeah." "Best night in my life when I won that championship." "Apart from me wedding night that is." "Do you ever think of marriage Tommy?" " No." "What are ya... twenty five?" "I was married when I was your age." "Guess people wait a little longer now, waiting for the right girl." "Met the right girl yet Tommy?" " Don't know." "That girl you were with." " Viv." " McCormack, yeah." "She a close friend?" " I don't know." "Are you fucking her Tommy?" " Don't think that's any of your business." "Jesus sorry." "It's just that you may have killed your girlfriend to make room for the new one." " I didn't kill her." " Right." "If I wanted to get rid of Jean I would have broken up with her," "I didn't have to kill her." " You didn't have to kill her." " No." "But you did anyway." " That's not what I meant." " That's what you said." "You could have broken it off with her; you didn't have to kill her." "You're twisting my words now." " Your words are twisting all by themselves." "I didn't kill Jean so that I could date Viv." "I didn't kill Jean for anything," "I didn't kill Jean." " Right." "That's what you meant." "That's what I said." " So did you kill Kathleen Ellis for any particular reason?" "How long can you keep me here?" " Long enough to get some answers." "Didn't kill anyone." " I think you've said that." "Kathleen Ellis was murdered eight years ago." "What age were you then?" " Seventeen." " Seventeen." "Old enough." "I didn't know Kathleen Ellis." " The thing I am wondering about is Jean." "You said you didn't see her at all that night, she never got home to your flat, is that right?" " Yes." "Sure you're not mistaken, been through a lot, sure your memory isn't playing tricks on you?" " Sure." " That's interesting." "What's interesting?" " Nothing." "So when did you first meet Kathleen Ellis?" "The government is refusing to comment on speculation that the current controversy could preclude Mr Ellis from taking part in a coalition government." "Mr Ellis is widely expected to secure a seat in next week's election." "Mr Ellis, have you any comment to make?" " No I'm sorry I've no comment to make." "Mr Ellis the public would like to know." " I am sure you understand this is a very emotional time for me." "Where is this fucker Wheeler?" "Take a seat here Mr McGann." " You little shit." "She was too good for you;" "you stole her away from us." "That's why she's gone." " Frank, get him away." "Just hold on here one second." " It's your fault you little bastard, your fault." "He didn't take good enough care of her, that's why she's gone." "Don't forget to wash your hands." "I just wanted to see what my wife's killer looked like." "Do you know who I am?" " Yeah." "No, I don't think you do." "Are you scared?" "Of course you are scared;" "you are looking at a lifetime in prison for what you've done." "I haven't done..." " Innocence doesn't suit you Mr McGann;" "it's not your colour." "Do you know what I see?" "I see you spending the rest of your days in prison." "I don't see that there's any other way this thing can go, do you?" "Do you dream about her?" "Your girlfriend I mean." "Do you have nightmares about digging that hole, late at night in the dark?" "You murdered your wife." " Now that's just irresponsible and libelous." "Mr Ellis." " The one thing to remember about the dark, boy, is that you never know what you'll find." "Mr Ellis." " Mr Wheeler, good to see you." "Sorry for keeping you waiting, come with me please." " Certainly." "Mick, escort Tommy to my office." "This way please." "I needed to do something, something quick." "I could always rely on Noel." " Absolutely no way." "Look if we don't do this, if we don't do this and if Ellis finds a way to convince the police that I've done the other thing then I am screwed." "I am screwed Noel." " I don't care, no!" "Look I am sorry right, I didn't want to involve you in this, but I can't do this on my own." " No way man no, this is fucking crazy." "You are crazy." " You're my best friend." "I need your help." "I need you to do this with me." "Fuck off, every time you get me involved in your shit," "I'm not doing it this time man no way." " Please." "Please." "We are not actually going to hurt them, right?" "Word from upstairs says we have got to back off of this." "He's got a lot of powerful friends John." "I got here ladies and gentleman the hard way." "The hard way." "I have one goal - to make this city a better place," "I want to house the homeless, feed those who are hungry, employ the unemployed." "I want to make sure ladies and gentleman that not one other person falls between the cracks of this great town." "I am standing here because the people of this city care." "I have got this far because of them, because they believe the same things as I do, that we cannot ignore the disadvantaged any longer." "Ladies and gentleman, the land of a hundred thousand welcomes will welcome its own into its arms once again." "And don't be late." "Who the fuck are you?" " Shut up." "Shut up." "Shut up." "What the fuck are you doing in my house?" "Okay he's out." "Let's get this set up." "You know how to tie a noose?" "Do you know how to tie a noose?" "I thought you did." " Why should I know?" "I just thought it would be something you know." "Pull harder." " This is ridiculous." "What are you doing?" " Rope burns." "People who hang themselves have friction burns around their neck." "Hurry up man, he's getting heavy." " Just don't let go." "He's still awake." "You mustn't have given him enough." " Enough, enough." "Jesus Christ man you did give him the acid though, did you?" " Of course." "Okay then, well just more sleeping pills." " Come on man." "We can't risk him just getting up and walking away before the police get here." "They've got to see him, got to see the suicide attempt." "This is an insane fucking plan." " Well it was better than your plan." "I didn't have one." " Well there wasn't much competition here, give me the pills." "Shit." "Mr Ellis?" "Mr Ellis?" "Detective Inspector Wheeler." "I know you are in there Ellis." "Good Christ." "Finally giving the public what they want, eh?" "Get me a hospital." "Not just yet." "Why don't we talk for a little bit?" "It's been a while since we had a really good little off-the-record chat isn't it?" "When was the last time, let me see?" "Was it seven years ago?" "Something about you murdering your wife." "I remember you smiled when I said I was going to make you pay." "You're not smiling Gordon." " What the fuck, six years ago John." "Get me to the hospital." " You are not going anywhere near a doctor." "There's no-one coming for you." "Who do you think you are?" "You are supposed to serve people like me." "You're a joke, you've been after me for years and you've never beaten me, have you?" "You've never charged me, have you?" "I tell all my friends about you Wheeler." "We all have a big laugh." " Shut up will you?" "Do your duty Inspector." "Save me." "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" "What the fuck..." "Well, God, I don't believe, I can't... fuck's sake, he fucking murdered him, he's a cop." "This is fucked up." " I don't believe it like" "I can't believe our taxes pay his salary." "Lets just think straight." " Right." "Fucking hell." "He murdered him, Jesus." "#NOT IN SCRIPT#" " I've got to stop." "For god's sake Noel." "He's a psycho." " He's not a psycho." "No of course not he's a perfectly ordinary guy," "I mean he didn't mean to break Ellis's neck he just hugged him the wrong way." "Ellis fucked up his own suicide, Wheeler just gave him a hand." "So he's a Samaritan now." "St Wheeler Patron Saint of suicides." "We have to report this." " Why?" "He killed a man." " So?" " He's a cop." "They are not supposed to do that." " I don't think reporting it's going to do much for your situation though." " What?" "I had nothing to do with this." " You loaned me your car." "You withheld information." "You hated Jean." " Don't you fucking dare." "This is my life now, no-one's going to fuck that up for me, not Wheeler, not Ellis and certainly not fucking you." "You would actually do it wouldn't you?" "Do whatever you want Tommy, you're fucked up in the head." "You've lost it." "Look, its over, he's dead." "You need some serious psychiatric help." "You keep your mouth shut about this Noel, alright?" " Piss off." "Fuck him, fuck him, fuck him, fuck him." "Shit." "Neighbours in this exclusive suburb are clearly shocked at this latest development and no-one is willing to be interviewed." "The state pathologist arrived at the scene a short time ago and it's now been confirmed that Gordon Ellis died at his home." "Details are sketchy and police won't comment on the cause of death, but I understand no-one else is being sought in connection with the incident." "Inspector, have you anything to say?" "I don't know, I kind of feel cheated or something." "I want to see the bastard suffer." " That's the way it had to be then that's that." "Pathologist wants a word with you." " Be with him with a minute." "Hello." " Hi Viv, it's me." "Hi Tommy, I've been worried sick about you, how are you?" " I'm great." "Listen, I was thinking of asking you out on a date by disguising it as a friendly drink." " You been drinking?" "No, well... what do you say?" "Yeah if you did it really subtle then maybe." "Okay, okay, so if I arranged to meet you after your classes end." "Yeah that would work." "Just don't make it sound too practiced okay, I like spontaneity." "Okay, thanks for the advice, wish me luck." "Good luck." " Viv." " Yes Tommy." "Would you like to go out for a friendly drink?" " Okay." "How was that?" " Yeah that was good, didn't suspect a thing." "Right... you." "Okay so here's the big question:" "Who would you rather date:" "Clarke Kent" " Superman - strong, noble real gentleman;" "Bruce Wayne" " Batman - dark, dangerous, unpredictable;" "or Don Diego" " Zorro - #NOT IN SCRIPT#, swashbuckling." "This is your big question?" " You use Roll Shock tests." "I use superheroes." " Batman." "You like the dark side." " I dig the car." "Tributes have been pouring following the death of Gordon Ellis." "The prime minister this evening described the independent politician as a man of great vision and determination." "He said he had enjoyed spirited debates with Mr Ellis and would miss his keen intellect." "I'd be sitting in church thinking how great it would be if my parents were gunned down so I'd have an excuse to devote my life to fighting crime." " What?" "Batman." " I don't know which is weirder." "The thought of you wishing your parents were dead or the thought of you in church." "I was a good boy." " Yeah what happened?" "Usual - temptation, pride, lust." "Lust especially." "Is that right?" "I've got to go." " Already?" " Yeah I've got to go." "No stay please, I want you to." " Tommy I can't." "What's stopping you?" " I just can't okay." "I'll see you, I'm sorry." "Do you have anything I could borrow?" "Just until my clothes dry." "There you go." " Thank you." "And all this means that I fancy you does it?" "Your mouth is dry, you want to lick your lips #NOT IN SCRIPT#, you're beginning begin to blush." " You think you can read body language?" "I think I can read your body language." " Interesting theory." "And all this means that I fancy you does it?" "And all this means that I fancy you does it?" "Detective Inspector." "What's this?" " What are you doing?" "That's mine." " What is this?" " They are tapes for class." "They're about me." " What?" " You taped our conversations, why?" " Tommy." "What the fuck is going on Viv?" "What are you doing?" "I saw an opportunity." " What?" "A chance to make a real study." "So my girlfriend is murdered and you are using it to get to the top of your class." " Don't even try that." "What are you talking about?" " I know you killed her." "What you didn't think that I'd figure it out?" "I'm not stupid Tommy." "Are you going to tell the police?" " What?" "Why would I?" "Tommy, I am not going to turn you in." "I liked you." "From the start I liked you." "I didn't plan on this." "Didn't plan on what?" "On us." "Go away." "Yeah hello." " Tommy, it's me." "Let's sort this out." "Yeah okay wait, I'll come up to you." "How did you get this?" "It was in your coat." "Jean had this, so how come you have it now?" "I found it a few days ago." " Bullshit." "I got rid of everything." "So how come you have her phone?" "She called me." "After you hit her." "She called me." "Well then why didn't you call for help?" "Jesus Christ Viv, what did you do?" "Sit back and watch her die." "Answer me!" "Yeah." "You're fucking insane." "You're fucking insane." "Noel help me, he's gone fucking crazy." "Do you know what effect this is having on me?" "Take a good fucking look." "I'll show you." "You fucking bitch." "You fucking sick, twisted..." "Get off me, she's a fuck." " Tommy." "Get off me." "Tommy." "Tommy." "He's dead." " What are you going to do?" "I didn't kill him." " Yes you did." "He just went mad for no reason." "He was trying to kill me." "He was using you Noel." "McGann?" "McGann, Detective Inspector Wheeler, are you in?" "Inspector." " Miss McCormack." "Is Tommy home?" " No sorry I haven't a clue where he is." "Really?" " Anything I can pass on?" "No." " Okay." "Tell him he left this behind him." "Tell him I said hello." " Sure." "See you soon." "What shall I do?" " I don't know." "But you've got to make a decision." "Okay, it's your choice." "This is a terrible, terrible thing that has happened," "but are you going to let it fuck up your life?" "Go home." "Tommy never came home; we are not here right now." "Okay." "If you need anything you just call me okay?" "Go home." "Tommy never came home; we are not here right now." "We've all got our hidden sides though, don't we?" "Our little secrets." "The dark sides that we don't show anyone." "But darkness has layers, you just can't see them when it's all around you."
