Rose and Maloney

Maloney?

Gonna be long?

Sorry I just need a...

Yes well...

I'm sorry about all the stuff

but as soon as I find somewhere to live I'll-

No it's fine Rose don't worry.

It's really nice of you to take me in.

Yes.

I didn't know people took

those credit check things seriously but-

Really?

Anyway, that guy Josh, he's gonna come with this van

and help me shift my things

to some storage place his mates run.

Well I don't wanna be pedantic Rose

but Josh is still serving 18 months in Pentonville

for receiving stolen goods.

Right.

Well as soon as I get him out of Pentonville,

he's gonna come with his van.

And where is this storage space?

It's up West somewhere I think he said.

Yeah sorry.

I'll just hold it.

Yes.

It's a bit of a funny colour.

I like it okay.

You don't think it looks like a tart's boudoir?

No, no, not really.

You'll get used to it.

I don't get an office.

This is the new boss.

Who's obviously had a taste bypass.

New boss?

Yeah.

Some career asslicker from a strategic think tank.

Whatever the hell that is.

Beats me.

Rose?

Yeah in a minute.

Yeah he's a complete wally apparently

but, then again, they always are.

Rose?

For god sake Maloney what is it?

So

I'm Wallace Canford

and I just want you to know that I am excited

and I'm flattered by this appointment

because, for a long time, I've admired the fantastic work

the Criminal Justice Review Agency does.

But, one or few changes, I think we can improve efficiency.

I think we can share tasks and resources.

And I really do think

that we can probably have a more team-based approach.

Wouldn't you say?

That's

good.

Well, listen, hey, any questions?

Yeah.

A more team-based?

I don't quite understand.

Rose, isn't it?

I work with Mr. Maloney here

we do everything together.

Is that right?

We do tend to

collaborate yeah.

So I didn't quite see-

Listen, I think, for example,

the senior case managers could take an interest

in the minor cases and not just the headline grabbers.

Such as?

Well I understand that we've got a backlog

of disputed shoplifting appeals for example.

Now, listen, that is just the kind of area

where your experience can really count.

You know?

What do you say?

How am I supposed to know he's down with the kids

and wants to paint his own office?

Well maybe because his picture

was in the CJRA journal and "The Times" and "The Guardian".

What is that?

My shoplifting cases.

Rather sweet I think.

Yours now.

Jesus, how many offences?

326.

And he says he's innocent?

He says he's the victim of a worldwide CCTV conspiracy

run by the CIA actually.

All right? - Hey.

Bloody marvellous.

Thanks Joyce.

And there's a policeman here to see you.

The car had its number plates removed.

So we're trying to trace it by type and year.

But there are over 400 red Mark II Toyota Corollas

and none of them registered to a

Denis Bowland.

Found a locked security box under the rear seat of his car

containing various documents: driver's licence, NHS cards.

And this.

Now we're trying to trace him on the computer but no luck.

Does the name mean anything to you?

We're reviewing his conviction for rape.

Right.

So maybe somebody did have good reason

for torching him with an iron and strapping him into

the front seat of his car

and waiting for the tide to come in.

No it couldn't be a reason.

Why not?

Because he's still in prison.

Rose.

Mr Maloney.

I hope this is good news.

I got a bet on with Mark over here.

Five up says it's good news Mark?

Shut up Denis.

And a fiver is a lot of spondoolay on the Section 42s.

All right.

Denis this is Detective Sergeant Mallam.

Okay.

And what have you got to do with me?

Mr. Bowland

is this your driving licence?

Yeah, it looks like it.

Found it in a car

by the Thames this morning, Denis.

Body inside.

Need you to identify him.

I don't know.

Jesus.

Who's done that?

Is he saying I had something to do with it?

I don't think he saying anything, Denis

but obviously there's a bit of curiosity.

I don't know this guy okay?

Take a closer look.

Is he a relative?

Friend?

Business associate?

Rose do I-

Just look again, please.

I can't help you here.

Look I've got no reason to lie to-

I've got no reason to believe anything you say Denis.

You're a convicted sex offender

and it gets my back up just being in the same room as you.

Okay.

Okay. Are you going to explain to him Rose

that I am not a sex offender,

that I didn't hurt or rape anyone?

We're examining the safety of your conviction yeah.

Is it a relative or a friend?

I have no sisters or brothers.

My mum's dead.

My dad, God knows.

And since you lot framed me up for rape,

I'm a little thin on the friend front.

Now why don't you piss off?

Well

I'll leave it with you to look at.

Don't you ever tell me to piss off again, shit head.

Jesus.

What do you think you're doing?

So sue me.

Did you see anything?

No.

Come on Mark.

Rose you saw that, you saw him do that.

I want him charged!

You just leave it Denis.

I don't know this guy okay?

Okay? - Okay.

Stay calm.

Well, I thought you had something for me.

Does he have to be here all the time?

Much as I love you, Mark. - I think we'll be all right.

It will be bad news Denis.

Fiver says it's bad news.

So?

We've managed to track down the victim.

At last.

I don't believe we call her the victim.

She wanted to have sex with me.

Yes but before we speak to her,

we'd like you to go through your account one more time.

Christ come on.

We know this by heart.

Once more for luck?

I'd been cabbing for about 11 hours

before I picked her up.

It's 15 please.

Haven't got any money.

I'll drive you to a cash point.

Haven't got anything.

Police station then.
