Good People Page #2

Did you find this odd?

No, not really, no.

Did he, um,

did he have any visitors?

Uh, he really kept to himself.

I mean, he didn't have much.

- No. He watched a lot of television.

- Yeah, that's true. Very loud.

Did, um, did you find

anything unusual about him?

When you, um,

when you discovered

the body, did you...

Did you find anything else?

- Um...

- No.

The reason I ask is because

the initial police report

suggests that he died

of a drug overdose,

and the team downstairs are

just looking for evidence

that he may have kept drugs there.

No, we had... I mean, we had no idea.

Well, it's just, uh...

it's just routine.

For your own safety.

NEWSCASTER:
...late 40's discovered

in the basement of a flat.

The cause of death is as yet unknown.

His identity is being withheld

until relatives are traced.

To the city now, and London's

markets are still not steady.

There's a new lead

to-to the guys that

gave Julie the drugs.

I thought Martin took

you off that case.

Yeah.

Is it dangerous?

Really dangerous, then.

Still not going to bring

her back, John. So...

why take the risk?

It might save someone

else's daughter.

We'll call Halden in the morning.

[CLATTERING]

Tom?

Tom?

[POUNDING]

What are you doing?

[SIGHS]

We spent our whole

lives being good, right?

And what has it gotten us? Nothing.

So, maybe this money is a gift to

help us get our lives back on track.

Tom.

We don't know where

this money comes from.

This could be really,

really bad money.

I know.

But what makes money bad?

Not the money.

The people make it bad.

What people do with it.

Now, I'm not saying

we do anything rash.

All I'm saying is we

just wait and see.

He's been dead a week.

The cops came,

they didn't find anything.

No one's come forward

looking for the money.

Okay? And if they do,

this will look like Ben hid it.

I say we just hide it...

and wait a week.

Two weeks.

All right.

End of the month. And then...

nobody comes,

we just find it again.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Halden, where are the background

checks on the Scott case?

You wouldn't be wasting time on the

Witkowski case? I told you to drop it.

Nobody gives a sh*t if Jack

Witkowski killed his twat of a brother.

Another deficient shitsack off the

street is fine with this department.

The Scott background checks,

on my desk by five.

[DOOR CLOSES]

And this has nothing

to do with Julie?

No, no, no, no. It's just...

It's just a hunch I

want to follow up on.

If I'm going to break every

law I'm here to uphold,

I'd rather it was for a good cause.

Okay.

It has everything to

do with my daughter.

Bank accounts, Inland Revenue,

utility bills, mortgage.
