it might have been something he just made up to scare you?
He was telling the truth, and when you see his drawings, you'll see that I'm right.
They prove that what he said he did to Melissa is true.
It's OK, Delia. He's not here.
Yes, I know that. All his things are gone.
Any idea where he might have gone? How would I know?
Uh, can I see those, Delia?
Why? Just for our records.
I need those back. They are the most precious things I have.
Here you go.
So, this is where it happened. Obviously. It's a bed, isn't it?
So, where are these drawings, then, Delia?
Well, they're in his portfolio. He must have taken it. It's not this, is it?
Yes, that's it.
Ah, you see?
Melissa.
John told you this is Melissa? No. It's obvious.
Delia, there's no head. Of course not. It's chopped off.
Look, you see? Same, Melissa. The same slender body.
And, look, this one, you see? The little guys are carpenters, like John,
and then they're―they're sawing and chopping at her.
Oh, this is new. I've... I've never seen this, but this is John, and this is Melissa, you see?
And out of his mouth, he's saying, 'Ohio. Ohio. It's off to work I go.' Melissa was from Ohio.
You know what, Delia? You're exhausted. I think it's time we were getting you over to Kings Cross.
No. What? Look at the pictures. Jane, help Delia pack a wash bag and a change of clothes.
Come on, Delia. Get off me. Why won't you look at the pictures?
They― They prove he killed Melissa.
They're just drawings, Delia. They don't prove anything. What? How can you say that?
The truth is staring you in the goddamn face. Delia, listen to me.
Our main priority right now is keeping you safe. No, no. I'm not going.
I know my rights. You can't force me out of my home. Delia.
No. Get out.
OK. Look, you're right.
We can't force you to leave. I know. I just said that.
We do not have the manpower to keep a round-the-clock watch on your house,
but I will see to it that uniform do an occasional drive-by.
But if at any point, day or night, John makes any attempt to contact you or gain entry into the flat,
call 999 immediately. We are five minutes away. OK.
I get it.
Get out.
Come on.
Do you want us to take the drawings as evidence, sir?
Evidence of what?
I'll need copies for the others in the building. No problem, ma'am.
To your new contract and three more months of job security.
Mm. Hmm.
Hallelujah.
What's this? Oh, it's― it's nothing much.
It's just― just a token just to say thank you for being such a good friend.
Delia, you didn't have to do that.
Oh, it's so pretty. Yeah, it's― it's made in India. It's, um― Does it―? Does it fit OK?
It's perfect. Oh. I love it. Thank you.
Yeah, it looks really good on you.
Yeah, cheers.
I think might spend Christmas with my family, now I know I can afford the ticket.
Xmas in Texas. That'll be nice.
Oh, well, you don't know my parents.
And I'll probably spend most of my time at my brother's place.
Oh, I didn't know you had a brother. Yeah, Stewart. Yeah, he's a...
Well, he was a traveller like me. Went all over, then stopped.
How come? Got a regular job.
Nice houses. I still don't know how you kept living here, though. Oh, I'm not some hysterical female.
Why would I let him drive me out of my home?
Cup of tea? I need to get back. Yeah.
Yeah, you don't wanna miss the last tube.
Next time, you're coming to ours, though, right?
Thanks for my bangle.
You don't have to wait till I'm inside.
I'm having a fag, if that's all right with you. You shouldn't smoke.
God! Come here! Come here!
Hey, I don't wanna hurt you.
I don't wanna hurt you. I just wanna talk.
You changed the locks.
Why?
I had to climb in through the kitchen fucking window.
Now, I know that you went to the police. After everything you said about loving me,
about not wanting to get me into trouble, I know that you went to the police, but I forgive you for that.
I just wanna know ― did you tell them what I told you about Melissa?
Mm, mm.
I don't know whether to believe you.
I feel like I should just kill myself and you.
Or maybe I should just fix it so that you can't say anything to anybody ever again.
Open your mouth. Why? Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
Oh fuck!
Delia, open the door.
I just wanna talk to you.
Delia, open the door.
Open the door, or I'll flatten it!
Delia, open the door.
Open the fucking door!
Police. Police. Stay back, sir.
Police! Delia, can you open the door now? Delia?
Delia, it's Jane Barker. Can you open the door now? Delia?
Open the door and just tell them that we had an argument, that there's nothing to worry about.
If you say anything, I'll kill you. Delia, open the door.
Delia. Delia, listen to me. If you don't open the door, we're gonna break it down.
Delia?
Here.
Please open the door, Delia.
Delia, thank God you're OK. Delia!
Show me your hands. What's goin' on? Show me your hands!
I haven't done anything. Turn around. I haven't done anything!
Turn around and put your hands behind your back! I haven't done anything.
It's me. It's me!
It's me! It's OK. It's OK.
It's OK.
Get back, please. There's nothing to see. You'll serve as a diversion at the end.
We're charging him with ABH and false imprisonment from when he tied you to the bed.
He'll spend a night here, there'll be a hearing in the morning,
then he'll be transferred to HMP Pentonville, pending a bail hearing.
Bail? It's just a formality.
With his offending history, there is no way he'll get it.
He's got quite the record on Merseyside, hasn't he?
Uh, six months in prison for affray,
bound over to keep the peace after his wife complained that he threatened her with murder.
When the police came to arrest him, he was in the wardrobe with a hammer in one hand and an axe in the other.
Look, I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you've had quite a lucky escape, Delia.
Why didn't you tell me all this before?
The information only came in a couple of weeks after we took your statement.
He was long gone by then, and based on what WPC Barker told us,
every time she came to see you, you just wanted to get on with your life.
Main thing is ― we know now, don't we? That's...
Uh, you're not planning on going abroad any time soon, are you?
Yeah, I was gonna spend Christmas with my family in Texas.
No, I'm afraid you're gonna have to postpone that.
I don't wanna spend Christmas here. I wanna see my family.
We need you here. You are the key witness in a criminal investigation.
OK, well, wrapping up. The duty doctor will examine you, and we'll need to get some photographs.
Tom?
Here.
Melissa Halstead.
Yeah.
Halstead residence, Jack Halstead speaking.
Good afternoon, Mr Halstead. This is Agent Astrid De Vries, Amsterdam Police.
Yes? Are you the father of Melissa Halstead,
who visited the Amsterdam Police in July 1991? I― I am. Have you found Melissa?
No. We're modernising our missing persons database,
and we're requesting that all relatives send us blood samples for potential DNA profiling.
Well, of course I'll send a blood sample, then. Anything that could help you find Melissa.
We've not forgotten your daughter, Mr Halstead.
We won't stop looking for her.
Tell me what you need.
OK.
You all right? No.
I'm a nervous wreck. You're gonna be fine.
The offences of which my client stands accused, about which he's made no admissions
and maintains his complete innocence, are allegations, not facts,
allegations made by an unstable woman.
Yet, because of them, he has spent a month on remand in Her Majesty's Prison Pentonville.
Your Worships, all Mr Sweeney wants is what any of us want at this time of year,
to spend Christmas with his family.
I just feel like I need some hot weather. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah. Um, yeah, exactly. Over Christmas?
No, maybe the day after Christmas. Nice. You know?
So New Year's? Yeah. Could get― Ooh.
Delia, the police are on the phone. You can take it in my office.
Well, she likes...
Hello? Hello, Delia. This is DS Collins.
Uh, I'm afraid it wasn't the news we were hoping for.
Sweeney's been granted bail.
What? Yeah, apparently,
there's an amnesty this Christmas for prisoners to visit their families.
They let him out at Christmas to see his family,
and they won't let me out of the fucking country to see mine?
Yeah. Look, look, it's only for a couple of weeks, until his next hearing,
and the magistrate has imposed some very strict conditions.
He has to sleep at his parents' house every night in Skelmersdale.
He'll be under home curfew from 9pm to 7am every―No! They― No, he will―
Delia. He'll come after me now. I...
Delia. He'll kill me. I know it. He's not going to break bail.
But as a precaution, maybe it's wise for you to spend Christmas somewhere else.
What, some shithole in Kings Cross? Fat chance.
Certain simulations have explored what would happen if a tornado outbreak,
or a tornado-producing storm, occurred at different levels...
...of global warming. Projections suggest that stronger tornado-producing storms may―
Hello?
Hello? Stewart, it's me.
Oh, hey, Delia.
I was just thinking about you. Um, I'm watching a documentary on tornadoes.
R― Remember, uh, when we were kids, and that tornado hit?
Yeah, I― I remember. Stewart, listen, the...
Delia, you still there? Do you know what? A friend has invited me to stay for Christmas,
so I won't be at home when Mum and Dad call.
Let them know so they don't worry, yeah? OK.
Yeah, and this will probably be the last chance I'll get to call you, so happy Christmas andall that,
and, uh, tell Mum and Dad I love them.
Uh, yeah. Oh, OK.
Uh, are you OK, Delia?
Oh yeah.
How are you, Stewart? You OK?
Uh, you know, still gettin' nowhere fast.
When are you gonna visit, Delia?
Uh, I thought we could go to Arbuckle Falls, like last time.
Oh yeah. Oh, we had a nice time there.
We sure did.
The sun was shinin',
and the birds were chirpin'.
The water and all that...
Yeah.
Yeah. It was real peaceful.
OK.
Yes, well, surprise, surprise. Hope & Haven have given me a list of B & Bs in Kings Cross,
so I'm just gonna head home and get my stuff and then...
OK. I'm sorry you're going through all this at Christmas.
Oh, it's fine. I'll keep busy. I've got a shift at Chelsea and Westminster on the children's ward,
so... I thought you didn't like children.
Sick ones are OK. Right, I'm gonna head.
OK, you make sure you call me at my mum's when you've found somewhere.
Yeah, yeah. See you in the new year. Yeah.
Delia, I wanna talk to you.
Get inside the house. No, no! Let's go.
No. Let go of my bike. Get inside the house. No!
Get inside the fucking house! No. Get off my bike! Oh!
Josh, what are you―? Shh, shh.
God, call 999!
Josh!
Josh, stop!
What's happened? Oh my God.
Oh my God.
It's Delia. Is she OK?
Oh God. Don't move her. Just leave her where she is.
It's OK. Dad's called the ambulance.
It's OK. Try not to move.
Delia? It's OK, Delia. It's gonna be all right.
The ambulance is coming. It's OK.
Come on, Delia. Come on.
Delia? My right lung has a haemopneumothorax,
and I have a stab wound to my right thigh.
Look, try and stop talking. Try to pop in and save your breath, OK?
What I'm gonna have to do is cut your top off to look for any other injuries.
Oh, I bought this in Mexico.
Mexico? We'll have to get another one for you. Just breathe normally, OK?
I'm gonna have to cut that top off.
OK, Delia? Just keep breathing normally for me now, OK?
I've got a wound there. Let's get those, uh―
Let's get some gauze on that. Get gauze on that one now, yeah. You OK, Delia? Yeah?
It's OK, love. There we are. I'm just gonna put a dressing on now.
Delia? Delia, are you OK?
There we are. Stay with us now.
Delia?
Is it?
Delia?
Delia? I'll get a bag. I'll get a bag.
Stay with us. Delia?
Yeah. Keep― Keep goin'.
That's the way. Come on, love. Delia? Delia?
We need to give her― Delia?
Delia, stay with us.
Delia? Stay with us now. Stay with us.
