ANSWER MACHINE BEEPS

'This is interesting, this is

getting interesting.

'Looks like I've lucked into

some men we know about,

'but it's dangerous.

'I need your help.'

MACHINE BEEPS:

'I need to know... Are you getting

these calls? It's urgent.

'I need to hear from you now.'

MAN:
Come quickly!

Help! Now!

Do you know what's happening?

No idea.

SIREN WAILS:

HUBBUB OF SHOUTS AND SIREN

RECORDER CLICKS ON

'..big mistake, should have lived

off other people like a socialistic,

left wing...'

RECORDER CLICKS OFF

PHONE RINGS:

Yes. 'Hi, Tom. It's Melanie Fall.'

Melanie.

Did you hear the news?

I can't believe it.

We'd spent the whole evening telling

Dido how offensive he was being.

'Does that mean you went to dinner?'

I did. Then I got bored

and left them arguing.

'Really?

What were they arguing about?'

Where are you today?

I'm at home.

'Do you want to get together?'

Melanie, forgive me, I'd love to

meet up but I have visitors.

This is nice.

Good afternoon.

I'm Jim Carroll.

This is Little Harry.

Harry. Tom Eliot.

We're both policemen.

This morning a man was murdered.

He was hit on the head

and thrown in the sea.

Was it definitely murder?

I saw what happened.

I don't mean...

OK. Dig yourself out.

I don't mean I saw the murder

but I did see the body being

pulled up onto the beach.

And you recognised the victim?

I met him last night.

For the first time?

How did you meet him?

I was asked for a drink

by Curtis Pelissier.

Is he a friend of yours?

As a matter of fact, not.

Then how does he know you?

As I say, I don't think he did.

Then why would you go?

Why would you go for a drink?

I'm going to throw this back at you,

Jim.

Believe it or not, it's unusual to

be approached by someone who claims

they know you when they don't.

That's why I went. I was intrigued.

If I'd known one of the party was

going to be killed,

I wouldn't have gone. I dare say

neither would he.

And people say you and Dido got into

some kind of violent dispute.

Violent? No.

What then?

By simply existing I seemed

to offend his politics.

You work in public service?

You're right.

You're well informed. Even so,

I've never heard of anyone

killing anyone else

because they were a civil servant.

Are you going to mind

if I take a look inside?

Be my guest.

You've been here a month or two?

You had some work done?

It's a small island, Mr Eliot.

You can't build a steel security

unit without everyone knowing.

I wouldn't call it a security unit.

Wouldn't you?

What would you call it?

Oh, it's just my personal stuff.

OK...

I'm going to show it to you, and

then you can put your mind at rest.

First time in my life
