(she becomes emotional as

it hits her:
little

KIRSTEN crushed to death)

Effed off, Insecure, Neurotic and

Emotional, but other than that.

Yeah.

MIKE TAYLOR:

You better get onto the CSI then,

see what this Tommy Lee Jones’s

been up to.

So it didn’t go entirely over his head, even if it looked

like he wasn’t listening.

CATHERINE:

Royce. Tommy Lee Royce.

MIKE nods and goes back to his computer. (MIKE may know about

CATHERINE’s daughter dying after giving birth eight years

ago, but like almost everyone else, he doesn’t know what part

TOMMY LEE ROYCE played in that).

MIKE TAYLOR:

They’ll want to talk to you. H-MIT.

They’ll want to go through your

Duty Statement with you.

CATHERINE nods and retreats.

CUT TO:

9

INT. NORLAND ROAD POLICE STATION, COMPUTER ROOM. DAY 9. 9

CONTINUOUS. 11.04

SHAF’s tapping away at his computer when CATHERINE comes back

in.

SHAFIQ:

Julie Mulligan. Registered

freeholder of sixty two Milton

Avenue. Her address... is Upper

Lighthazels Farm. Thornton Clough

Lane, Soyland. Her mobile number...

d’you wannit?

He nods at the screen. CATHERINE’s already got her mobile

out; she prods the number into her mobile off the screen, and

presses the call button.

CATHERINE:

Put a request in for a CSI to meet

us at Milton Avenue as soon as.

(he’ll do that the second

she’s got the number she

wants off the screen)

Then I want you to get up there and

tape it off and wait for ‘em, okay?

SHAFIQ:

I was going off on the house-to

house with this lot. For Kirsten.

CATHERINE:

Do this first. Oh, and knock on a

few doors. See if anyone’s seen any

comings and goings. Or heard

anything. Oh, and

(nods at the computer)

-trawl the box and see if we’ve

got anything on the address.

SHAFIQ:

(he prods his key board

efficiently as he asks -)

Did the boss go to the H-MIT

briefing this morning?

CATHERINE:

She was run over. More than once.

She was crushed to death.

(SHAFIQ’s like ... what?

Suddenly someone answers

the phone at the other

end)

CATHERINE (CONT'D)

Hello. Am I speaking to Julie

Mulligan?

(yes)

Hi, it’s Sergeant Cawood here, down

at Norland Road police station.

There’s something you might be able

to help me with, and I’m just

wondering if I could pop in and

have a chat?

(she suddenly notices how

deathly pale SHAF’s gone,

like he’s going to faint)

Are you all right?

The rest of the exchange is incidental as we stay on SHAF and

see what he’s going through

JULIE:

(OOV)

Er... yeah. Yeah. Sure. When?
