News report voice over with flashbacks to the last episode, including Jack interviewing the Schaffers and his finding, hiding and planning to plant the grey towel as evidence.

NR: There is shock and concern in East London this evening after the suspected murder of Edward Shaffer. Mr Shaffer, who was found dead after falling from the balcony of his third-floor flat, was the proprietor of a popular children's dance academy. Earlier today, police were called to an incident at the academy when Mr Shaffer's vehicle was vandalised. Mr Shaffer was later arrested in connection with an inquiry into a historic child rape.

They are appealing for witnesses to Mr Shaffer's death.

Jack, blood  on his hands, is being seen to by medics at the crime scene when Martha arrives. She asks Jack how he arrived so quickly, he replies he was close by and found Edward already dead.

MB: How did you get here so quickly?

JW:Hm?

MB: You arrived before Charlie, you're here, he's just fallen so how did you get here so quickly?

JW: I was close by, so I turned the car around, arrived here, he's splat on the ground. I tried first aid, but the guy's dead. That's when Charlie arrives.

MB: How hard did you try?

JW: Oh, come on. What's the primary objective? Don't give me that shit.

MB: This man was just about to put in an official complaint against you

JW: What, I pushed him off the top of the building

TG: It was her idea!

JW: I know, I know.

TG: Why does she think... Why are we not doing it?

JW: Erm...

TG: It gets his face out there! I've been here ages. I could have been out looking for him! I just feel like you're not doing anything. Why are we just sat here?

JW: Tracey, there are certain sensitive aspects that we do not want to release.

Scene 28 ( 22.11 -  23.44 )

Martha calls Jack into her office to question his whereabouts shown on his car tracker, when the I Call about Edward came through.

MB: I've been made aware that the car tracker puts you at Edward Shaffer's before the i-call. What the fuck is that about? Because it is clear that you have been lying to me. Why would you do that, Jack? Hm?

JW: Um...Yeah, OK, listen, I went round to Edward Shaffer's house to apologise, I wanted him to withdraw his complaint, I knew that complaint would make it much more difficult to convict him.

MB: The complaint wasn't the problem. The lack of evidence was the problem. You are a liar, Jack.

JW: What do you want me to say?

Martha is then alerted that Tracy has spoken to the press and rushing into the main office, asks Charlie to pull up the news. The 3 detectives watch as Tracy gives an impassioned plea about her son on the TV, saying the police are doing nothing. Martha and Jack argue.

MB: I thought you were handling this?

JW: No way I could have told her the press conference was cancelled because we found a dead kid.

MB: I just left this in your control, this is not what I had in mind...

JW: Yes, and this is not my fault.

MB: Well..

JW: I'm sorry, it's not my fault.

MB: So I'll just do everything from now on?

JW: No. no ..

MB: Is that the plan..

TS: You don't know anything about me or Edward. Or you would understand.

MB: I understand that your husband was a paedophile and you made sure he had a ready supply of little boys and girls to rape and kill. Wow, you're a disgrace. Get better soon, because we're gonna be looking after you from now on, OK?

Jack takes a moment after she leaves.

MB: Do me a favour.

JW: Yeah.

MB: Apologise to me.

JW: What do you mean?

MB: Just show me what you look like when you're apologising. 'Sorry, boss,' something like that. It's a game. Just do it.

JW: Sorry, boss.

MB: Cos you weren't apologising, were you? When you went to Edward Shaffer's, and Justin was there to see that.

JW: Hang on, hang on. Hang on. l When I went to Edward Shaffer's, I said, 'Mr Shaffer, I want to apologise for the way I've behaved. I want to...'

MB: No. Hang on. YOU hang on, Jack. Don't try and hoodwink me, because I can see through it, because I know you, Jack. I've been watching you fuck it up! I mean, are you stupid?

JW: No, I'm not stupid.

MB: Let me describe a stupid cop to you. A stupid cop would be somebody who would take a piece of incriminating evidence and bung it into the bin of the prime suspect.

JW:  I didn't... Listen, I know it's been a fucking shit week for me, OK...

MB: Well, it's been a much shitter week for me.

JW: I thought I was doing what needed to be done.

MB: I've had to speak to the DPS, I've had to pull a few fucking favours, favours I was rather keeping for myself. God, you are standing right on the fucking edge and I've a bloody good mind to give you a shove instead of constantly holding your hand. So, HR have said to me that you have six weeks' holiday due. I suggest that you take them. Don't send me a postcard.

Scene 50 (  42.22 - end  )

Jack returns to the office visibly upset. When Charlie says they can finally go for a drink Jack replies no and "ask the boss" when she asks what is wrong. He grabs his coat and keys and leaves.

Really glad you will be coming Rosie

Haha! no zombie Jack in attendance Rosie, but I can't promise his inner monsters won't  be in attendance...

and there will be blood!

I would love to see to storyline breakdowns that they actually use when filming - to see what they work from.......they can't be as detailed as domino's are, though, cos they obviously don't include any dialogue!

If I'm not here tomorrow then send out a search party......

Now there's an incentive to go missing......

I regret that I do not think I am going to be able to make it to this one guys.  I have too much to get done around here to prepare for new floor installation (due to a flood), and I need to work a little bit today too.  I should be able to make the next one though. Have a lovely chat as always!
