You still you think

there's a connection

to Clare Kemplay

and t'other missing girls?

Absolutely, yeah.

Good lad.

And, uh, don't go

off the deep end, Barry.

Ha ha ha.

[Gentle guitar music]

New Labour government,

what is being seen

as a resounding victory

for the miners.

Around 260,000 miners

have accepted weekly pay rises

ranging from six pounds to...

[Doorbell rings]

Hiya.

Are you Mrs. Paula Garland?

Yeah.

Hi.

I'm Edward Dunford.

I'm from the Yorkshire Post.

I just wanted a quick chat

about Jeanette.

Sure?

Thank you.

Mr. Garland about, or...

No.

What is it that you want,

Mister-

Mr. Dunford?

Um, well...

I'm doing this article,

and it's about the...

about parents of children

who have gone missing.

It's about how people

like yourself,

like your husband, have coped

after all the fuss

has died down.

It must be a very difficult time

for you, bring it all back.

I understand that.

I know how you must have felt.

No, you have no idea how I feel.

No.

I mean, one of the things,

for example...

do you feel

that the police

could have done anything more

to have helped you?

Yeah, there was one thing.

Right. What was that?

They could have found

my daughter.

Yeah.

You come into my house

like you're discussing

the weather

or some war

in another f***ing country.

You know, this thing

happened to me.

Can you get out, please?

Just get out!

He killed himself.

What?

Her husband's dead?

Never got over Jeanette.

Sucked on a shotgun a year back.

Oh... sh*t.

You're supposed to know

these things, Dunford.

It didn't exactly make

the front page down south,

did it?

Well, it did here.

You should have f***ing known.

Do your job.

Time, gentlemen, please.

How about you?

How was, um-how was Shangri-la?

[Sighs]

Mrs. Dawson told me

my life's in danger.

Bollocks.

Look, Barry, if you believe it,

you've got to tell someone.

Oh, yeah, who? The law?

F*** that.

These people are the law.

- Eddie.

- Yeah?

That gypsy camp, Hunslet Carr.

- Yeah?

- Take a closer look.

Dawson set up a 100 million

property trust.

100 million.

It would be interesting to know

who else is on that board.

There are death squads

out there, eh?

You're ignorant, Dunford.

Try carrying a history book

along with

that notepad of yours.

[Scoffs]

Want a lift or what?

I'm going t'other way.

[Laughs] Piss head!

Never had the urge

to deliver us from evil, then?

No, never.

The devil triumphs

when good men do naught.

[Tires squeal]

[Siren wails]

What are you doing here, lad?

Just been for a pint.

What about you?

[Chuckles] F*** off.

It's all right; I'm over 18-

- Shut up, you little poof!

[Groans]

I didn't do anything!
