Unforgotten

# I love you more and more... #

Yeah, put 'em on top of the other one. Easy!

That's it.

Just there, mate.

Oi!

3-0, mate. Oh, my days.

FA Cup, mate, who gives a toss?

You do, mate!

Tel! Yeah?

Ray?

What is it? Hold the work, Gav! Hold it.

No, the girls will do it.

'The girls?' Why would I pay someone to pack

when I've got children I can exploit?

Wow. Do they wanna do mine?

'I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.'

Listen, I've gotta go.

Will I see you tonight?'

Dunno, got a feeling it's gonna be a late one. I'll call you.

OK, love you. 'Love you, too.'

You ready?

Yeah, all good.

What time you in? One.

You want me to drive you? Hm, no, thanks.

I need to be on my own for half an hour.

Prepare myself. Calm myself.

Adam! The estate agent's coming at ten. I want you up!

21 years old...

OK, well, I might as well head back down now,

beat the afternoon traffic.

You're going back down? Yeah. I've got the interview tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, of course. Sorry, sorry.

I mean, I could try to reschedule...

No, no, no, it's not a problem, I was just...

Right, I'm coming up with a bucket of water!

So I asked her to clean one little chimney, one tiny little chimney,

suddenly, social services are involved.

I mean, it's not like she was a little kid or anything,

this was when she was 12, for crying out loud.

This is a joke, isn't it? I get it. Very funny.

Hello, boss. Hey, Murray, tell me.

The owner found the body first thing,

round the side of that heap there.

We've marked and filmed the spot where it was found.

Now, security is very good.

Lot of valuable metal on site, so the owner doesn't think

it could've been dumped illicitly.

Out of hours, I mean.

So...?

Best guess is, part of a regular drop,

maybe inside something?

And what are their records like?

Fully compliant.

I've asked for the last 48 hours to get started.

Good.

Let's have a look.

Morning.

Oh, hey, Sunny, how you doing?

Yeah, fine, thanks, Leanne.

So what do we think, age-wise, 20, 30?

It's hard to tell for sure without teeth,

but, from the general condition of the body, yeah,

a relatively young adult male.

Can you tell if the wounds were pre or post-mortem?

I think post, no obvious vital reaction around the wounds

to the naked eye, but I need to take a closer look in the lab.

Also, this sort of mutilation is usually done post-mortem,

to facilitate disposal and obscure ID.

Exactly. Any obvious cause of death?

No, not that I can see.

I need to get him back to the lab and open him up.

All I can see externally that's odd is this.

Looks kind of wrinkled. Yeah.

And when I first saw it, I wasn't sure what it was,

but it sort of looked familiar.

And after I took a temperature, I realised exactly what it was.

This was my thermometer. It snapped in two after I tried to insert it.

I was more careful with my spare and got a reading.

The inside of the body is minus 15.

Frozen? Solid.

And those marks...

You know when you put a piece of meat in the freezer

without wrapping it properly

and it develops a kind of weird wrinkle pattern?

I think that's what we have here.

What a day, what a day.

Oh, that is definitely your colour.

Hey... that's for you.

Thank you, Chacha Ram.

Oh.

You're late.

Oh, don't give me grief, mate, I've got a monster hangover.

Hm.

Ah, Ramjeet, my gorgeous boy. How are you?

Very well, Mama, happy birthday. How are you today?

Oh, not so bad. Yesterday, not so good, but today, so-so...

Well, if I'd had as many 70ths as you, I'd be pretty happy, you know.

All right, chuckles?

So, who thinks they deserve a present?

Oh, you shouldn't have... Aw.

1.8.

And are we sure about carpet?

It's warmer.

Makes it feel more welcoming. More like you're at home.

Although maybe people don't wanna feel like they're at home?

Maybe they wanna feel like they're in a medical setting.

Well, we can't afford real wood. And veneer looks pony, so...

Well, I'm just saying, for the consulting rooms.

Give it a bloody rest, Geoff, please... It's just a suggestion.

I mean, I don't even wanna be here.

This is not even my idea, so...

It's hard enough as it is

without you spending money we do not have.

Carpet it is.

Amy?

Yeah. Yeah. Hang on.

Can you zip over to my brother's office tomorrow after work? Why?

Just mortgage stuff. Last few forms. Is there a problem?

Well, apparently, you've been laundering money for the Ruskies...

Six OK? Fine.

Yep, that's cool. We'll be there at six.

Yeah, and can you bring that statement of earnings...

So, why the hell would you screw a freezer door shut?

Right. Well, that looks very much like blood to me.

And if it's his, we might just have a shout

in finding out who he is and maybe where he comes from.

They just won't budge, I'm so sorry.

As I say, they're very happy with the first six months as sick leave,

and they're happy to go half pay for another six,

but, er... they just won't allow a medical retirement.

Which obviously still leaves you three months shy

of your full 30 years.

And I'm as angry as you are.

Because I know five years ago,

they just would have waved this through without a second thought.

Maybe, in five years, they will.

But... now?

You know what it's like, Cass.

They're still counting every single penny.

And what was that figure again? What does it equate to, exactly?

Erm... It's, er...

£124,467.

That I'd lose. Despite me not being able to come back three months ago.

Which they say - they, not me -

is not the case.

And what the fuck do they know?

Sir.

They're bean counters.

Never done a single day on the job in their lives.

Meaning they have not one single scintilla of an idea

what 30 years of - sorry, 29 years and nine months -

of doing this job does to a person.

29 years and nine months of having to mop up the...

..blood and the tears and the...

rage and the despair, on a daily basis.

This judgement does not recognise that, Sir.

This judgment does not cut me any slack.

And, again, I'm, er... I'm so sorry, Cass.

Yeah, well. Me too.

We'll need to go back to them.

What do you want me to say? I dunno, I need to think.

Hey, Eugenia. Hello, Elizabeth.

I'm going to head straight up. Yeah.

Hello, Mum.

Don't!

Sorry.

Mahler's fifth, fourth movement.

You can't really cut that short. Right.

You never really caught that particular bug, did you?

What bug's that? Music.

I love music. Proper music, I mean.

Nothing but classical is proper, is it?

I know your father always found that rather disappointing.

He would've loved to have shared his passion with you.

Oh, well, we found lots else to share.

Not really.

So, what have you planned today, then?

Oh, today, I'm going roller skating,

and tonight I thought I might head into town and try a club

Oh, we're in that sort of mood, are we?

Today, I will be mainly lying in bed, Elizabeth, wishing I was dead,

because everyone I ever loved,

liked, or enjoyed spending time with, already is.

Right.

Well, thanks for that.

Well, if you will ask such asinine questions.

OK. Er, enjoy your lunch, I'll see you tomorrow.

Elizabeth...

This soup is cold.

I'll ask Eugenia to heat it up.

OK, I'm gonna get straight onto that now, boss.

OK, no worries, I'll head back with Murray.
