"I dropped my stuff off at the flat this morning." "You were still asleep, I think." "So pick a winner." "The race was yesterday." "Go on." " Barbara." " Emma:" "Bad luck, sweetie!" " I got Daf." " I got Matt." "What, we're running a sweepstake on who killed Leanne?" "Got to have some fun in here." "Have you seen these headlines?" "Never got this kind of coverage for poor old Branko, did we?" "Branko was a bit lacking in the long-blonde-hair department." "Just as dead though." "Look in the classifieds." "Find yourself another flat." "( phone ringing )" "We're family." "We have to cope with this as a family." "Social Services?" "Yes, I want to talk to your child protection team, please." "Listen to me, Barbara." "For once, just listen to me because I've really thought about this." "We're going to make it up with Matt." "We're going to find a way to help him with the children." "Why?" "Because it's the right thing to do." "It's what Leanne would have wanted us to do." "My God, now she's dead and she's still running our lives." "Are you ever ever going to grow up?" "( phones ringing )" "Ready for you now." "You'll talk to Matt Wellings before the rest of the family, all right?" "It'll be a few days before we can confirm the baby was his." "How do you think he'll take it?" "He thought the world of Leanne." "He trusted her." "She was the jealous one." "Guv..." "I think we should stop thinking of Leanne as a victim." "What, in spite of the fractured skull, and the gravel in her hair and the water in her lungs?" "She drowned." "Alive when she went into the water." "But that's not a detail we're releasing." "Everything I hear about her, everything I learn, she's just not the victim type." "So I was looking at the photos of the fibers under her fingernails..." "The theory is they're carpet fibers." "Right, okay." "Well, I thought, what if she did it on purpose?" "Scraped up lots of the carpet on purpose, to tell us where she'd been taken?" "Yeah, I woke up thinking the same thing." "We'll make a detective out of you yet." "What is it?" "Nothing." "I'm so sorry." "No, come on, what is it?" "Hormones..." "lack of sleep, this bloody awful job." " No, Simone." "Not good enough." " All right." "Well, all week I've been waiting for a bollocking from you for arresting Matt and bringing him in, making him feel like a suspect, jeopardizing the enquiry." "You made an honest mistake, and I don't do management by bollocking." "No, you don't do management at all 'cause you're like some awful trendy dad." "You just want to be liked." "And I haven't slept, I can't eat... just waiting to be kicked off the job, all because you won't speak straight." "( cell phone ringing )" "Yeah, hello." "I'm sorry you had trouble getting through." " Busy morning." " Yes." "I won't hold you up." "But I want to see her." "I want to see my daughter." "The dental records were fairly conclusive, I'm afraid." "I'm her father." "I'll happily take blood samples from you and your wife." "50% your D.N.A., 50% Barbara's..." "Equals 100% Leanne?" "You condescending shit." "You taught science for 30 years, so you don't need me to describe what five weeks underwater does to the human body." "You're dead right." "I don't." "And you'll also understand there are health and safety considerations." "Health and safety?" "Health and bloody safety, and objectives and targets and outcomes, key stages." "Scientists are the baddies now." "Is it any wonder they can't get anybody to be a science teacher anymore?" "Let me get someone to take you home." "I'm not happy about you driving." "You treat us like children." "Okay." "We couldn't make a visual identification because she doesn't really have a face." "Okay." "I don't know what the rules are." "I don't know what people do in this kind of situation." "Nobody tells you what you're supposed to do." "All I know is that I loved my daughter but I didn't always... defend her as I should." "And now that she's dead," "I want to do my duty by her." "I want to be man enough to say goodbye." "Leanne's voice:" "Hi, this is Leanne." "Sorry we can't take your call at the moment, but please leave a message and we'll call you back." "( beeps )" "Hello, if you want to leave a message for anyone in the Wellings family... ( knocking on door )" "( answering machine beeps )" "( reporters clamoring )" "I would have come around last night but I thought family time and..." "God, I am really sorry, mate." "All I can think about is what if she was pregnant." "Haven't they told you?" "Still waiting for news." "Always waiting." "Waiting for them to find the children, waiting for them to find Leanne." "I'm scared I'm gonna have to grieve for the two of them." "My wife, and my unborn child." "10 years old I was... when they discovered the secret of the double helix." "The answer to every question of human life:" "D.N.A." "It was beautiful." "The men who discovered it said they knew it would be beautiful and it was." "And they were Englishmen." "Well, one of them was." "And that was my life mapped out." "No more opening for England or driving the Flying Scotsman." "I was gonna be a scientist." "They talk about pester power now-- good God, the nagging my poor parents got." "11th birthday coming up," "I had to have a chemistry set." "Can't get them for kids now." "Huh." "Health and safety." "Look, John..." ""Closure," don't they call it?" "Good God, the language of Shakespeare." "Will you wait for me?" " You can't go in there alone." " Try and stop me." "When we catch whoever did this to your daughter, do you want some smart asshole to get him off on the grounds that I failed to prevent the body being tampered with?" "You're talking about her as if she's some kind of exhibit." "That's exactly what she is to me." "Walk away, John." "Remember her as she was." "She was 100% Leanne." "You said it yourself-- 100% my beautiful daughter." "How exactly do you think she can hurt me now?" "( theme music playing )"
