Unforgotten

'Our imperative is to find out exactly what did happen that night,

'and right now, I have lots of questions.'

If there is anything to find, it's gonna be with the head.

'Fogerty had four other probationers from Hendon with him.'

One of them was you.

Am I a suspect here?

I think we talk Friday about my money.

We think you can help us

throw some light on the events of an evening 30 years ago. We're done.

And whoever sent you from upstairs, tell them, "Nice try, but no cigar."

It's me, we need to meet.

Evening, everybody. DCI Cassie Stuart.

I do remember Rob on that night, of course, how could you not?

But not this lad. Do not tell your brother this.

I have a criminal conviction.

If we lost that money, you could ruin us.

And what would you do for me in return?

I want my half to go to charity.

Given what I know that you'll be doing for me.

I get it, Grandad. I understand.

Could I just run a few other names past you? Liz Baildon? No.

What are you doing? Are you insane? Tomorrow, 11 o'clock.

Pay for your train ticket in cash.

'I have a witness, who can confirm that Walsh was being chased.

'The chase suggests that his murder was in some way provoked.'

Jake? I found the rest of him.

# All we do is hide away

# All we do is All we do is hide away

# All we do is lie and wait

# All we do is All we do is lie in wait

# I've been upside down

# I don't wanna be The right way round

# Can't find paradise On the ground. #

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

'Hey-ya.' Hey.

So, how did it go? Yeah, good.

And?

I think you need to let it go, Mum.

He knows exactly what he's doing, it's got nothing to do with her.

Right. Sorry.

No, fine.

Just don't come running to me in ten years' time

when you've got no money for a deposit on a flat.

Right. Yeah, well...

Now I know. Thanks for that.

I am so sorry.

Don't be daft, it's not your fault.

So, um, welcome home.

Well, that sounds very nice.

Doesn't it? HE CHUCKLES, THEY SIGH

GIRLS LAUGH How are the girls?

Oh, very excited to have their own rooms, as you can hear.

GIRLS LAUGH Yeah.

I need more of this.

COUGHING

What's this? Year 10 debating prize. I won it.

When was this? Yesterday.

Erm, I did tell you I was doing it, but... You had Jack's evening, so...

Oh, mate. Well done.

So well done. That is just brilliant.

And... I'm so sorry if we're not always on it.

You know, he takes up a lot of our time.

But you... You're an absolute star.

Really are.

Wow, he looks almost... mummified.

Well, with the fridge unplugged and open,

that's pretty much what's happened.

Can we be sure it is Matthew?

I'll be sending samples for DNA, obviously, but it is male,

we have laryngeal prominence here, and a quick look at the teeth

certainly suggests the right age group.

And you know what I'm gonna ask next?

The answer is a cautious maybe.

There's a depressed fracture over the temple here,

which certainly has to be a contender for cause of death,

but let me do an X-ray, open him up, and then let's see where we are. OK.

And did Jay call you yet? Jay? The forensic botanist?

He's had some interesting results on the leaf material on the T-shirt.

Er, no. Anyway, he'll call you.

So, Murray's had a quick squint through the mobile phone records.

No indication that any of them are speaking to each other yet.

Well, not on their regular phones, no.

We are also looking into phone mast data.

Cheers, Leanne. We'll speak later.

Hi. DC Fran Lingley.

Trying to trace a man

we believe may have stayed here a few years ago.

Wondered if you had any records on him. Name of Clive Walsh.

Also, I spoke to Hendon first thing.

Trying to locate that intake's lead trainer for us. Yeah.

I just think the more of a sense we can get of them as people,

cos if this was a murder,

that is just such an extraordinary thing

for five newbie coppers to have been involved with.

That just doesn't come out of nowhere, does it?

Er, yeah, OK. The last record we've got of Clive,

he's been given a residential place just under two years ago

in a halfway house in Bow.

Fiona?

Lizzie. Hello.

I have to search you, I'm afraid. I'm sorry?

I have to check you're not wearing a wire.

Wearing...?! SHE SCOFFS

Jesus, Liz. What do you think of me?

Or I'll walk away. Liz!

OK. OK. Oh, my God.

I need to see your phone.

I need to know you're not recording anything. Thank you.

So... I presume they've spoken to you? The police?

Yes. But what have you said?

I just told 'em the truth, Fiona.

Like we agreed. I hope you did too.

Oh, fuck! No. Sorry.

It was 30 years ago.

What did you tell them, then?

I told them...

..I was too drunk to remember anything.

OK. Well, that can work for now.

And if they interview you again,

then the truth can slowly come back to you.

Right.

You remember it?

Erm...

..after Rob got pulled, you drove the rest of us home...

..before taking his car back to his, which was near where you lived.

And how did I get from Rob's to my flat? You walked? Good.

And, erm...

..what if they find out about the pub?

They won't find out about the pub.

They have no connection to us in the pub. No names, anywhere.

They might find someone. That's what they do. You should know.

What if they find out about the pub? They might find out about the rest.

About what you did for me.

They might find out about everything.

I'm sorry. I can't...

I can't just be cold and hard about it like you can.

I'm trying to remain as dispassionate as possible.

I think it's the most useful thing to do right now.

I have to go.

If you need to contact me,

I've set up a Hotmail, Betty two-nine-zero-two.

You're still beautiful, Fi.

I hope your life has been happy.

'So, three weeks before Matthew Walsh goes missing,

'he was cautioned for an incident in a pub.'

A physical altercation with another drinker.

'Now, he wasn't charged, so it can't have been that serious,

'but the reason I mention it is cos of the pub it was in, The Ifield.'

What, our Ifield? 'Hendon Lane.'

Now, pretty much everyone who trained at the academy

drank at The Ifield.

'So, I was thinking...'

What are the chances the ruck he had was with a probationer?

Exactly. Nice. I like that, Murray.

I like that very much.

Ian Henderson? DCI Cassie Stuart, DI Sunny Khan.

'Yeah, I trained all five of them.'

'OK, can we start with Ram, then, please?'

'Ram hasn't changed in 30 years.

'He was a cocky little runt back then,

'and from what I've heard, he's still a cocky little runt now.

'Used to play the race card at every opportunity.

'Still does, from what I hear.'

When you say, "Play the race card", what do you mean?

Objects to being called a Paki on a daily basis?

You come from Wales, you get called Taff, Scotland, Jock,

it's the same difference.

It isn't, but let's maybe not go there right now.

So, aside from being cocky, what was he like as a person?

Was he good copper material?

Here's the deal. I always thought Ram would go right to the top,

'or end up in prison.' 'Prison?'

'Listen, the lad was a smart boy, there's no doubt about that.

'He was ambitious, charismatic, very funny, people liked him.'

'He was also fucking angry.'

He had a massive chip on his shoulder about his colour.

You combine that with his risk-taking and his liking power

a bit much, well, it makes him dangerous.

The proof of the pudding,

you check his disciplinary record over the years, yeah?

I mean, the guy obviously thought he was untouchable.

And worse still, that he had a right to be.

Now, personally, I think if he'd been white,

he'd have been inside by now.

So, you think he could have been capable of breaking the law. 100%.

Did you see anything, anything specific when you worked with him

that led you to this conclusion? No.

So, it's just a generalised prejudice, then?

You wanted my opinion, I've given it ya. OK, moving on.

SHE SIGHS Dean Barton.

'Deano. Oh, well, Deano was the polar opposite.

'One of the most instinctive coppers I ever trained.

'Fast-thinking, very analytical brain, great team player.

'OK, so...' Hello, mate.

All right, Ram. 'Dean told me that he left,'

because he didn't think he was a team player.

All right, let me rephrase that.

On the job, he worked well alongside the others, yeah?

But, er, yeah, socially, yeah, I'd agree with you.

Yeah, he was a loner. Very private. Secretive, almost.
