Prime Suspect 1973

- Cheers. - I admire you.

- Nothing happened. - Be careful, Jane.

Before I got this job, I was an outpatient here.

- Who's that with Eddie and Julie-Ann? - A new player.

All we know is on the street he's known as Oz.

He kept a tally book.

Now this Tod. Had quite the party on the thirteenth, on the day Julie-Ann died.

'She was last seen climbing into a red Jaguar.'

I don't usually drink that much.

Guv? You need to see this.

You think I'm guilty? My own daughter. You think I'm capable of this?

After you picked Julie-Ann up from Homerton Hospital,

where did you drive her?

Sir.

They locked her in here. This is a cell.

George? George?! What's going on?

This way, Mrs Collins.

You heard he's out today?

I heard.

We should send a welcoming party to his house.

- These aren't the old days. - They will be for Clifford Bentley.

So, where were you between the hours of six and midnight on Sunday 13th May?

I've already told you.

My wife and I were having dinner with Daniel Zimmerman,

the quality control manager at my company.

Well, Mr Zimmerman claims you left his house shortly after 10pm.

Did you go straight home?

Yes, we did.

And on 1st May, did you pick Julie-Ann up from Homerton Hospital

and take her back to your house?

I picked her up, yes...

.. but only to take her back to the estate in Hackney where she was staying.

What?

Sir, DC Hudson called. He's finished the house-to-house.

The next-door neighbour claims she saw a man

matching Eddie Phillips' description visit the Collins' house two nights ago.

Thanks.

All yours. She's bricking it.

Morgan.

Yeah?

You wanna take the lead on this one?

- Me? - Yeah, you're good with her.

Between you and me, Bradfield wants to recommend you for a TDC post.

You don't clear up six burglaries in one day without flashing on someone's radar.

Mrs Collins, where were you on the evening of Sunday 13th May?

I was out to dinner with my husband.

And on 1st May?

I know you've already spoken to the clubhouse.

I was at a charity golf match at the Royal Blackheath.

When you got home, was Julie-Ann there?

I didn't go straight home. I went to my sister's and I stayed there.

Today is supposed to be a day of reflection, not interrogation.

- So Eddie just showed up? - I never met him before.

He came looking for money. He said he'd keep coming back so I gave him some.

How much?

I don't know. Eight, nine pounds? Whatever I had in my wallet.

- And why did he target you? - I didn't ask.

- I just wanted to get rid of him. - And now he's missing.

That doesn't explain why you locked your daughter in that room.

I didn't.

We have her fingerprints on the inside of that door.

Red fibres found on Julie-Ann's socks match the samples we took from the rug in that room.

I don't deny that Julie-Ann used to stay in that room, but she hasn't been home since last year.

There was blood on the mattress.

Maybe someone had a nosebleed.

A nosebleed?

- Keep an eye on him. - Yes, sir.

Why have we still not found Eddie Phillips?

Post some more wooden tops in a car outside the Pembridge Estate, speak to informants.

Do something. I want him found.

Yes, sir.

Teresa O'Duncie claims Julie-Ann demanded money from her father

and now George Collins says Eddie tried to get money out of him.

Julie-Ann's posh accent. I mean, he knew her old man was well-off.

Or he knew he was a pushover.

Sir, the photos from the Drug Squad surveillance of Dwayne Clarke.

- I've checked them against the log. - What are you doing now?

Sir?

Can you go to Barclays and pick up George Collins' bank statements, please?

Yes, sir. Of course. Bank statements.

What are you doing?

Here's me thinking I had a hole in my pocket.

Look at you.

You're a mess.

When are you moving out? You said a couple of weeks. It's been months.

What was that?

I'm not the one looking to get wasted at ten in the morning.

Dad asked me to stay longer to keep an eye on you, you loser.

John?

Help me get stuff ready for the party.

Sir. The bank statements.

Look at the 1st and 2nd May.

Sir, can I... sit in?

- I'm not sure that's appropriate. - Because?

If I could stand at the back and observe.

Two withdrawals. £250 each on the 1st and 2nd May.

I do my company's payroll on the 1st of each month.

So why withdraw another £250 on the 2nd?

There was some overtime that I hadn't factored in.

Seize the company accounts.

On the 1st, Julie-Ann phoned me in tears, begging for some money.

Her boyfriend had run up a debt and was in a spot of trouble.

500 quid?

50.

That's how much I gave her. It's the boyfriend that you need to talk to.

Some... deal he and Julie-Ann were involved in.

- When he came to see me he wanted more. - What deal?

I didn't ask. I didn't wanna know.

Just another one of his lies. Some make-believe story about a wizard.

- Oz? - Yes.

I was just trying to help my daughter.

Anything?

She insists the day Julie-Ann was picked up from Homerton, she never saw her.

She was at her sister's, apparently.

We need to find this Oz, if this is all about a drug deal that went south.

Maybe that's why Eddie and Julie-Ann were beaten up.

Or a robbery? Julie-Ann had 50 quid on her when George dropped her at the estate.

We've only got his word for it.

We know he locked her in that room, but for how long?

Maybe something happened to her when they got back from that dinner party.

When Eddie went to Homerton Hospital with Julie-Ann, did he have crutches?

According to Teresa O'Duncie's statement...

.. he did, yeah.

But Julie-Ann's injuries...?

Julie-Ann didn't have them then.

So we were wrong. Julie-Ann wasn't beaten at the same time as Eddie.

So where'd she get those injuries from?

About bloody time.

Good to see you, mate.

- You on your own? - Ma's at home, baking you a cake.

I ain't been punished enough?

Whoo! Let's get you out of here.

- How are the preparations coming along? - Slow but steady, cos of the alarm.

We'll get through the dividing wall tonight.

Make sure your ex don't come out of the woodwork once she gets a whiff of the money.

She'll have to find me on the Costa del Sol first.

- How much is it? - A cool plum.

100 grand.

Stash money from one of Whiteley's rivals.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

We keep 40 per cent of whatever we get.

Only 40?

Do this right, this job'll put us back on the map.

You have an answer for everything, Mr Collins. So let me get your take on this.

During the search of your property,

my officers found a golf club beneath your stairs with blood and hair on it.

Forensics will examine that hair and check the blood type against Julie-Ann's.

God, when I picked her up, I barely recognised her.

She looked awful... sick.

She said she wanted to get clean.

What could I do? I agreed she could stay in her old room.

When Mary came home from playing golf, I was making Julie-Ann some soup.

It just upset Mary so much to see her like that, she went to stay at her sister's.

Jump to where you locked her in that room.

She asked me to put a padlock on the door. She said it would help.

So while Julie-Ann ate lunch, I put a bolt on the door and then I left her.

I went downstairs.

Hours later, I heard her kicking... and screaming.

I didn't know what to do.

And then it went quiet.

I went upstairs to check on her.

She was on the bed... with a needle, about to...

- Why didn't I check the bag? - The golf club, George.

She went mad, like a wild animal.

She attacked me, pushed me over, ran downstairs.

Tearing the house up.

Whenever Julie-Ann came home, I'd hide the valuables.

But she saw the payroll money and took it.

She was opening the front door...

Mary had left her golf clubs in the hallway.

I don't think I planned to hit her.

But I did, several times.

She was just...

She was lying there, not moving.

You didn't call her an ambulance?

I, er... carried her back upstairs to her bedroom,

and went to the bathroom to get the first-aid.

But when I came back, she was gone.

The front door was open and Julie-Ann was nowhere in sight. The money's gone.

And Eddie... he knew you'd beaten her? That's why he blackmailed you?

How long was Mary at her sister's?

Er...

I telephoned her, she came back home. So er... two, three hours.

Only, your wife's sister told us that on Wednesday 1st May,

she didn't see you or Mary.

Just taking it all in.

Never thought I'd miss this.

- Oh, bloody hell. - What?

The stupid cow just needs to add "jailbird" and the world and his wife knows.

Come on. Come on, let's go inside.

- That Nick's missus? - Uh-huh.

What's her problem? I've done my time.
