AUNTY WIN:
There’s been a couple now, haven’t
there?
EDDIE:
Have there?
EDDIE’S MOTHER
Going back. Wasn’t there a little
lass, in Rochdale?
AUNTY WIN:
That is going back. There was one
not long ago. In Castleford.
Jeanette, was it?
BARRY:
Jeanette Garland. Never found her
neither.
EDDIE:
Didn’t they?
Eddie is suddenly interested.
BARRY:
Hear them wheels...

AUNTY WIN:
Never caught no one.
BARRY:
Never do, though, do they?
13 INT. YORKSHIRE POST, RECORDS - EVENING 13
Microfische flashes from reel to reel. Opened boxes at his
elbow, Eddie stares at the screen. Stops. Flashes forward.
Too far. Forward. Names and events from the past flash:
BERNADETTE DEVLIN - HAROLD WILSON - THE MOON SHOT. Then:
APRIL 1969.
JACK WHITEHEAD, NORTH OF ENGLAND CRIME CORRESPONDENT.
“Susan Louise Ridyard, aged 10, has
been missing since 20th March. She
was last seen outside Trinity
Grange Junior and Infants School,
Rochdale...”
Eddie spins on. A photograph of “Detective Chief
Superintendent Bill Molloy”. Eddie makes notes. The
Microfische flashes forward in time.
JULY 1972.
JACK WHITEHEAD, NORTH OF ENGLAND CRIME CORRESPONDENT.
A school photograph of another smiling 9 year old - again
against a sky of fluffy white clouds...
“Jeanette Garland from Castleford went missing yesterday...”
A photo of the mother - PAULA GARLAND - blonde, hard-
beautiful. Dark glasses. Head down.
14 INT. YORKSHIRE POST, OPEN PLAN OFFICE - EVENING 14
Eddie comes through the busy open plan office. Clatter of
typewriters and chatter. GEORGE GREAVES - an old hand -
gossips with GAZ FROM SPORT. He nods at Eddie.
GEORGE GREAVES:
It’s the Prodigal returned.
Eddie juggles ‘V’ signs at George.
15 INT. YORKSHIRE POST, OUTSIDE HADLEY’S OFFICE -EVENING 15
From behind her desk, FAT STEPH gives Eddie a sour face.
EDDIE:
Here to shee the old man, Mish
Moneypenny...

STEPH:
Didn’t cut it down South, then.
16 INT. YORKSHIRE POST, HADLEY’S OFFICE -EVENING 16
A magnifying glass moves over a black and white photo of
footballers. Gordon McQueen goes for a cross. No ball in the
photo. Editor, Bill Hadley studies ‘Spot the Ball’ photos.
Eddie sits opposite - ambitious, impatient.
EDDIE:
Three missing girls. Aged between
eight and ten. 1969, 1972 - and
then day before yesterday. All of
them go missing within miles of one
another. It’s the A34 Murders all
over again.
HADLEY:
Oh, let’s hope so, Mr. Dunford.
EDDIE:
Fingers crossed, eh.
HADLEY:
I was being sarcastic, Edward.
EDDIE:
Sorry.
HADLEY:
Did you talk to Jack Whitehead
about this?
