Wire in the Blood

Let go of me! Leave me alone!

Get off of me!

Help!

Somebody help me!

Leave me alone!

Hey!

TYRES SCREECH

Hey!

Help. Help!

Keys.

SCREAMING

Leave me alone!

No!

Christopher.

He deserved it.

I want to talk about your parents.

It's OK.

Donna'll pick you up at 3:30. Whatever.

No, not whatever! She'll be here 3:30.

Ben?

So why is it we only get to hear of it now?

Afternoon.

Just wait till you have kids. Sort it out, and get back to me.

A paedophile's been released from prison.

He's gone back to live on the Bridgefield Estate.

Graham Fletcher. He's been back a week. A week?!

Paperwork.

Do the public know he's there? Not yet. What's his risk factor?

That was all we got. I'm getting him checked out.

We need to know these things!

Emergency Services. Police. I seen a girl bundled into a car.

She was screaming.

I think she's been abducted. Can you describe her, please?

Young black girl. He was a white man. He pushed her into his car.

Silver car.

Do you have a registration number? I wrote down some of the number plate.

T-N-M...

Where?

Bridgefield Estate.

Paula.

999 call came in at 9:22. How long before did this happen?

I'm not sure. A minute. Two minutes.

So 9:20. 26 minutes ago. Can you show me exactly where it happened?

Over there.

The car came from here, and this is where she was pushed into the car.

You're absolutely sure?

100 per cent. I know what I saw.

She was screaming for help.

She's about 11, 12 years old.

I'm gonna need you to come in for an e-fit. Kevin'll explain.

We need you to come down to the station.

I want Graham Fletcher's address.

Graham Fletcher? Police.

Do you drive? What?

Do you drive?

Uh, yes. What's going on?

Search the whole place.

A child is missing. You're known to have more than a passing interest in children.

Can you talk me through your exact movements this morning?

Janita?

Janita!

Where is she?

BABY CRIES

Janita!

All right, Ryan. Mummy's coming.

No sign of the girl?

What's this all for? I haven't done anything.

Look on it as an act of kindness.

It's easier if you're with us at the station.

Bridgefield Estate. How long ago?

Just over half an hour. Witness called almost immediately.

We pulled in a local child sex offender, Graham Fletcher.

If he'd taken her, she would have been there.

The witness definitely saw this child being dragged into the car?

She's given us some of the letters from the number plate.

No other witnesses? No. All very quiet.

I think he just saw his chance.

Any ID on the girl? Her parents probably don't know she's missing.

Good description, though. Young Black girl, 11 or 12.

Black coat, white collar. Abductor, White male. 40s.

Right.

Call an Amber Alert immediately. We can't afford to waste any time.

Sure? You wanna wait for a body.

It's the appropriate response, it fits the criteria.

Forced abduction of a child in danger of death or serious harm.

Every resource we have, throw at it.

Keep me fully informed.

Do you know where Tony Hill is? No.

Bring him in. We need to know what the abductor is thinking.

Don't take no for an answer. Sir.

I don't know why I killed them.

I just had this feeling Mum and Dad had to die.

Did you love them?

I couldn't have. If I did, I wouldn't have killed them.

Not necessarily.

You'd be amazed how many people have murdered through love.

Get away from me! Get away from me!

Christopher, Christopher...

When was the first time you were taken into care?

What are you gonna try and do this time? Dr Hill?

Phone call.

It's urgent.

I'll be right back.

I love the arrogance that whatever you're doing

is more important than my patient's mental health.

Tony... I have a boy here whose life is in crisis.

So do we. Look, I've sent a car. Apologise from me to your patient,

but I need you to get in that car now.

May I ask why?

We've called an Amber Alert.

OK.

Who authorised the Amber Alert?

Morrison. He wanted you involved from the outset.

Time's of the essence. The abduction took place at 9:20.

Nearly an hour ago. We're moving as fast as we can.

It was witnessed by a woman, Carmen Garcia

in her early 30s. Good eyesight?

She's been very specific. She's given us part of the registration.

Brought her in to do an e-fit. Good.

She's 11 or 12.

A stranger abductor will be in the system,

so make the Sex Offenders' Register a priority.

I already have. We've pulled in the closest paedophile

to the abduction site - Graham Fletcher.

What's his predilection?

Boys? Girls?

We don't know. We only found out he existed this morning.

Great. The system's down.

Boys or girls? I was wrongly convicted.

I've never met a sex offender who wasn't.

We need to know what you were convicted of - boys or girls?

So, you were in prison for something you didn't do?

That's right.

You didn't interfere with any girls?

No.

And you didn't interfere with any boys?

No.

It was boys. That micro-expression between the eyebrows.

There's no point in lying. Your facial muscles tell the truth.

Guv, he had 5,000 images of child pornography on his computer,

but all boys. Yeah, we know. We're there.

Can I go?

At your own risk.

The public doesn't make the same distinction we do - boys or girls.

To them you're just a paedophile.

When this hits the news, which it's just about to,

I think you would prefer to be here.

Just keep digging in the Register. His name will be there,

if we have time, and the stats aren't against us.

What are the percentages?

Survival rate of children abducted by strangers...

44 per cent die within the first hour,

74 per cent die within the first three.

Only one per cent survive more than a day.

10:30, so that's one hour, five. Let's hope she wasn't one of the 44 per cent.

Where's your witness?

In the last hour Bradfield Police have issued an Amber Alert

after an unidentified 11-year-old black girl

was seen being abducted in the Bridgefield Estate area

at 9:20 this morning.

A witness reported that a white man dressed in a suit,

and driving a silver Ford Fiesta car

approached the young girl outside the shopping area of the estate,

pushed her into the vehicle, and then drove off at speed.

Bradfield Police are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying the girl...

Janita...

..and is likely to have been on her way to school.

I've said all this before.

You've told me, but Dr Hill needs to hear it from you.

When she was being pushed in the car, what did she say?

She was screaming.

Yes, but what was she screaming? That's very important.

She was shouting, "Get off me! Help! Leave me alone!"

So, she was shouting, not screaming? Both.

Was she resisting? Yes, of course!

She was struggling, and...

Kicking, kicking. She was kicking.

Get off me! Leave me alone!

You don't believe me, do you? You think I'm making this up.

We do believe you. We just haven't got a lot of time to get this right.

You see, the safety of this little girl is paramount,

and every detail you remember helps us ensure she isn't harmed.

I wouldn't want to be the only witness here. You're a good witness.

You, and you alone are our eyes and ears on that street.

You didn't know this girl, did you? No.

Tell me about the man.

Not young. Respectable looking.

White.

White? You sure? I know a white man when I see one.

OK, white abductor, black girl.

Normally, white men abduct white girls.

We're checking to see if any similar abductions happened anywhere else.

Whoever she is, she's out alone. Not at school. Why not?

Anything found at the scene? Yeah, an earring.

We have an ID on the girl. A woman reported her 11 year old missing.

Black girl from Bridgefield Estate. The name is Janita Mestone.

We know where the abduction took place.

It gives us an 80 per cent chance of solving this.

Solving's not the same as bringing her back alive.

No. Best chance of that is within the first three hours.
