Sawney: Flesh of Man Page #2

---

that goes down too well

with my superiors, you know.

Usual, Hector.

- Drink?

- No. I'm on duty.

Ah.

Anyway...

I'm sorry about being flippant

with you the other day.

- It was just...

- Flippant?

You mean being an a**hole.

Yeah. Well, I'm sorry, Bill,

but me and Wendy, you know,

and this whole thing with Charlotte-

it's not another story.

It was Wendy's sister

and she was a friend of mine.

What happened to her...

I mean, Jesus Christ!

We've got to catch the bastard

who did this, Bill.

So we're on level pegging

again, huh?

Look...

everything I discuss with you

- is confidential. Hmm?

- Yeah, of course.

Let me get you a drink.

Still on the heavy water, hmm?

I'm fine. Later.

Listen...

off the record,

I've never told you this...

and I mean...

I've never told you this...

but when we discovered the remains

of Charlotte McIntyre,

it was like no other find

we'd ever had before.

Look at this.

Yeah, I know.

I've already seen this. It's not pretty.

Her decomposed head and feet

were all we found of her body

and we had to identify

through dental records and DNA.

What do you mean, her head and feet?

What about the rest of it?

What about her arms,

her hands, the other bits?

That's it.

They're not hers.

What do you mean

they're not hers?

The rest of the remains

belong to other victims.

- Jesus Christ. Why didn't you tell me?

- Because we didn't know

at that time,

and headlines like this

would have guaranteed

a mass panic.

I do hope you're not driving.

Walking.

BIIII:

What...

So how many

are we talking here?

This is mass murder.

There's a f***ing lunatic out there.

The public need to be alerted.

Surely with your tech...

Cheers, Hector.

I mean, surely with

your technology you can...

- you can find out...

- Shh. Listen.

The samples didn't

provide us with any clues

as to who the other persons were.

There were no personal effects,

nothing.

What the forensic report did say

is that some of the remains

were immersed in water

over a long period of time.

This spot is called Clootie Well.

It's a reputed sacrificial site

belonging to druids.

We've checked it out...

found nothing.

Okay, maybe I'll take a look.

But why are you

telling me this now?

You have a way

of finding out things.

We don't want this out.

Not yet.

- Hmm?

' Okay,

I'm going to need the facts

as I go along, Bill.

And I won't wait forever.

I appreciate that.

Look, as soon as we have

something, it's yours.

By the way, forensics also said

that some of the flesh

had been eaten and gnawed at.

What by an animal?

No.

By a human.

Are you kidding me?

No.

You might have to add

cannibalism to your story.

Enjoy.
