Prime Suspect 1973

Then why were you out in it the night before last?

I wasn't. I was here all night, Mum.

Whoever she is, she's not worth the bother.

I think David's mixed up in something.

That girl they found in the Kingsmead...

Jack, it's me, Jane. Just checking in on the latest on the Bentleys.

- Apparently, they're gonna rob a bank. - There's something going out between those brothers.

We have movement at the Pembridge.

Do you know what kind of man Clifford Bentley is?

What's that for?

You a superstitious man, Silas?

He's losing his grip on this job.

There's a matching necklace, part of a set.

Oh my God.

- Jane, there's something -- - Yes?

I saw you both earlier. You should speak to him. If you're serious.

About what?

- Sarge? - What the hell was that?

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Golf Hotel to all units. I need a report. Someone tell me what the hell's going on!

I want two of you on doors! Get everyone out of the flats!

Two of you here. Two of you there. Cordon off the area!

David...?

There were coppers watching the cafe. I legged it.

- What do you mean? What happened? - We need to go. The police are everywhere.

Where's John and your dad? Have they been arrested?

Dunno. I saw the police and came back as fast as I could.

- But you warned them? - Of course. I told them to get out.

You go. I'll stay here and wait for your dad and John.

I'll go to Reg's place and meet you there.

David, stop. Wait there.

Take it all.

Wait until dark, then get yourself away from here.

I love you, Ma.

Sarge? Sarge?

Spence? Spence?

Shit. What happened?

- I can't hear a bloody word. - Where's everyone else? Morgan!

Morgan?

She's alive.

People in front...

Guv? Guv?

Can you hear me, anyone?

Body over here!

- Guv! - It's John Bentley.

No.

Len! Len! Len!

Len! Len! Len!

- He's gone. He's gone. - Len...

- He's gone. He's gone. - Hey! Len!

No, no, no. You can't go in there. You can't go in there!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Renee! Let me in.

Where's John?

Ain't he with you?

No.

What do you mean, "no"?

Cliff, where is he?

As... As soon as I heard the police coming in, I told him to get out.

I screamed at him that he had to go.

But you saw him leave?

Where is he, then?

Where's David? Did he make it back?

He's... waiting for us at Reg's.

Cliff, please, do the right thing and let him go. You can take responsibility for this.

- What are you on about? - David's not like you.

He won't cope in prison. Give him a chance to get away.

Nobody's going to prison.

Look.

You should have seen what we left behind.

There's enough here. Grab your case.

Come on.

I'm staying here, in case John comes back.

He's not coming back.

I'm staying here.

All right.

All right?

Not really.

When I first saw him down there...

I thought he was knocked out.

- I thought he'd choke up on some dust and... - Hudson, stop talking. Just be quiet.

- I'm just saying. - Both of you, shut up.

Right, gents. I've got teams of Uniforms briefed

and ready to go and hunt Clifford and David Bentley.

I suggest you make yourselves useful and join 'em. What do you think?

Yeah. Come on.

Jane... come ride with us.

Best thing's to keep busy.

Got you that from the hospital shop.

Can't stand that stuff.

Such gratitude!

You look like you could use it more.

Apart from feeling like someone's stuck knitting needles in my ears, I'm fine.

Did they tell you what happened?

The doctor said there'd been some fatalities.

Are all our team accounted for?

Er... two suspects inside the vault and erm...

No?

Police! Clifford and David. Where are they?

- You can't just barge in here! - Where are they?

- I ain't seen them. They're not here. - Bollocks.

- Don't lie to us. - 'Ere, I know you.

Have a heart and tell me. What happened to my son John?

She doesn't know.

Right. Well, John's dead. Where are the other two?

A man we identified as John Bentley was killed in an explosion at the British Savings Bank...

- All right. Now she knows. - .. along with two other men: Daniel Mitcham...

and our colleague, Detective Inspector Leonard Bradfield.

We need to know where Clifford and David are.

I ain't seen 'em.

There's no-one here.

Right. I'm sick of this.

- Where are they? - I don't know.

- Who told you about John? - What?

It was on the wireless.

We haven't released that information yet, so who told you John didn't get away?

Nobody.

A Bentley till the bitter end, eh? Deal with her.

Irene Bentley, I'm arresting you under suspicion of assisting an offender.

Excuse me. Have you seen this man recently?

No.

Thank you, sir.

- Yes? - Excuse me, sir. My name's DC Ashton...

No.

Excuse me. Have you seen this man before?

- No, sorry. - Sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I didn't know you were back.

We've brought in Renee Bentley.

I came back to join the manhunt...

.. but I've just been sat in here for half an hour.

You need to see this.

Hudson and I found it in the Bentley lock-up.

It matches the bracelet Julie-Ann was wearing when she died.

Yes, sir.

Understood.

Absolutely.

Thank you, sir.

Super's finished the next-of-kin visit.

Think I'm gonna head off and see 'em myself.

Could you pass these on?

It's the Guv's watch and wallet, and his warrant card.

- Sarge, if you need a WPC... - Tennison...

Like you said, I need to keep busy.

It's his wife and kids.

Paul, can I borrow you? I need you to check something for me.

Do you know how many wives and girlfriends we've had sat across from us,

insisting they were completely in the dark?

You're in this up to your neck.

We're watching all the ports, so they have nowhere to go.

I don't know where they are.

That's bollocks, and you know it.

- Sarge, can I...? - Tennison, we've got this.

No. Go on.

If you want to help David, you need to tell us where he is.

Did David tell you about Julie-Ann?

She was 17.

Someone strangled her and dumped her with the rubbish, like she didn't matter.

Where was he on the evening of Sunday 13th May?

- I don't know. - It was raining that night.

Did he come home, soaked to the skin?

He was home!

How's he been acting since?

You're his mum.

Mums always know when something's not right.

I found...

.. a photo of them both.

Him and Julie-Ann.

She mattered to David, didn't she?

Did he tell you about her?

Did you know she was pregnant?

- Was the child David's? - Oh, God...

Oh, God.

Where can we find him?

Where?

You can't defend him on this. Where is he?

I don't know.

I found this in the corner, under a shelf there.

200 quid, stuffed in an old biscuit tin.

And here... shoe marks...

.. size and pattern of which seem a good match for Julie-Ann's boots.

How far from here to where her body was found?

300-400 yards.

- Possible she was dragged all that way? - Possible.

This could be where she was strangled.

That money you found at the lock-up matches the notes Julie-Ann stole from her dad.

Well, we know she was doing a deal with O'Duncie.

After she left the squat, she needed a secure location to stash the money

until the deal was in place.

So she gave it to David to hang on to?

But why did he turn the garage upside-down? He'd know where it was.

- To destroy the crime scene? - She's nervous.

O'Duncie has already beaten up Eddie,

so she's not gonna trust anyone with £200,

and doesn't tell David where she's hidden it.

Then on the 13th, David Bentley wants to know where the money is.
