S1 E15Unfinished Business

How hard is it to fulminate mercury?

HNHaya Ngama

It's not. You just need to mix mercury with concentrated nitic acid and add the resulting aqueous mercury nitrate to ethanol. Yeah?

[befuddled] Yeah.

HNHaya Ngama

Except it's violently exothermic and gives off clouds of white smoke.

I used to be like that on Saturday night.

Oh what I would have given to spend three years studying knowledge for knowledge's sake, Sam. That's a wonderful thing.

What are you talking about? You know loads of stuff...

Yeah, that's because I'm an autodidact.

The doctors have got that under control though, right?

What you got?

PPete

Looks like he had company [holds up a bra]

Or a secret he only shared at weekends.

PPete

There's a blouse here too, a couple of the buttons ripped off.

Maybe he got a bit rough... she didn't like it.

What? Then she produced a gun?

Beats pepper spray

PPete

It's too small for a pistol. Maybe an airgun?

Maybe, however a half naked woman running through London shouldn't take long to find.

You're not wrong...and in this weather... [briskly rubs his hands together] I hope he had warm hands.

The gift card was used to purchase a red lace chemise, size 10, whatever that is.

A chemise is a short nightie, my son.

Something you want to tell me, Ron?

Yep. You gotta brush up on your French. The first Mrs. Brooks wore a black lace chemise on our wedding night. She was a knockout as well.

[stalks out of his interview] All those people dead and you are wasting our time on the man that killed them!

You walk out now and you are making a big mistake.

Do I look like I give a toss?

Sam, just calm down... tell the Guv what you know-

Guv? He's not my Guv! [To Wes] Do you think it's that easy? I held that boy in my arms! I haven't slept for months! Everytime I close my eyes I see his face. I see his dad's face when I had to tell him that his son was dead! So yes, I went down there to see Tyler. I went down there to make him feel that pain. But do you know what? I couldn't do it. [breaking down] Because being a police officer came first. [To Ronnie] I swear to God, Ron. I turned around and I walked away.

It was a very slow walk because you were off camera for 10 minutes. [Sam looks helplessly at Ronnie as Wes steps forward] DS Casey, I'm suspending you pending further investigation. You can leave your warrant card with me.

Good. [forces the card into Wes' hand] GOOD! [stalks outside as Ronnie follows him]

[tries to run after Sam] Sam, wait!

What? He thinks... [paces] he thinks I'm some sort of nutcase!

But he doesn't know you!

But you do! What do you think?

I think you've been through a lot-

Oh Ronnie-

Sam! [gets him to turn round] what were you doing for those 10 minutes? [Sam breaks down and starts to cry] Just take it easy. You've got a young lad that needs you!

[crying] I know!

I can help you, and I will help you, but you've got to be honest with me. What did you do for those 10 minutes? [Sam takes deep breaths, trying to calm down] Come on, Sam, come on!

I wanted to go in there! I've already said, I wanted to go in there and tell him what he'd done! How it felt to hold a dying child in my arms because of him! How it feels everytime I kiss my boy goodbye! All I can see is that kids face - dead - in that train!

[gently] What did you do?

You wanna know what I did for those 10 minutes?

I just sat down by that cell door and I cried like a baby.

[takes a deep, relieved, breath and comforts Sam as he starts to cry again] Alright, look. Come on... come on [pats his shoulder] I've seem many an officer with that look in their eyes, don't you worry about that. You're strong enough, son. You'll come through this! You're a good copper, Sam.

[pained] No, no I'm not.

You are. Just don't let all your good work end here. I need to know one thing. Did you see Tyler?

*sighs* No.

I swear, Ronnie. I swear.

Well, noone went to his cell after you, except for his brief who found him. So Tyler must have already been dead when you went down there.

[sniffs] You believe me, don't you?

Yes [Pats his knee comfortingly] I believe you.

SGShop girl

He had this big wad of notes and kept waving it around. I told him to put it away, there's plenty of crackheads, drunks and hookers that'd have your arm off for less around here.

And did he?

SGShop girl

What?

Put the money away?

SGShop Girl

He just laughed, said "Just point me in the direction of the hookers!"

CCriminal

[on seeing Sam and Ronnie back again] Are you kidding me?

What? Not even a "Hello, Detective. You're looking very dapper today"?
