SMASH CUT TO:
658A
FLASHBACK. INT. 4TH ST. STATION. SQUAD ROOM. A FEW DAYS
LATER.
Lindsay sits with various Missing Persons Unit officers
including O’Neill, some taking notes, in a briefing given by
Mallick. Mallick calls up the next screen. It’s a photo of
Carly alongside her details:
CARLY KIRK:
REPORTED MISSING 17/08/2013
Lindsay is rocked by the sight of the girl she recognises
from a few days earlier.

658A CONTINUED:
MALLICK:
Carly Kirk, 15 years of age.
Reported missing by her foster
parents when she failed to return
home overnight. Last seen by them
the day before. History of alcohol,
substance abuse and sexual
activity; looks older than her age
and prone to play on it; history of
absconding from care.
(To O’Neill.)
Sargeant O’Neill’s been Response
Officer on this one.
O’NEILL
(Ironically.)
Dead end so far, sir.
MALLICK:
(Ironically.)
Good luck.
MALLICK:
Moving on. Donald Hawkins, 77 years
of age ...
Lindsay looks concerned, and isolated.

FLASHBACK. INT. 4TH ST. STATION. SQUAD ROOM/LINDSAY’S OFFICE.
LATER THAT DAY.
Lindsay hovers, watching the squad room at work.
She waits for O’Neill to vacate his computer, then she takes
his place.
Lindsay refers to her notebook with the car registration as
she searches a police database of car registration
information.
The vehicle is registered to:
ALEX CAMPBELL:
12 ST. JAMES’S CLOSE
Lindsay calls up the driver information on the police
database. Up comes Alex Campbell’s driving licence details
with a photo of TOMMY.
Lindsay ponders the image.
She does a search for Campbell on the criminal database and
gets the result:

659 CONTINUED:
NO FILES FOUND:
She ponders. She uses her phone to take a photo of the screen
showing Tommy’s driving licence, then logs out.
She goes into her office.
She sees O’Neill return to the Squad Room.
O’Neill takes up his place in front of his computer. He sees
he’s been logged out, ie someone’s been on his computer, and
reacts.
Lindsay taps on the glass window. O’Neill goes into Lindsay’s
office.
O’NEILL
(Indicating computer.)
You been messing with my computer?
LINDSAY:
Been up to your old habits?
He shuts up. She shows him the photo on her phone.
LINDSAY:
Who’s this?
O’Neill shows recognition of the photo, but ...
O’NEILL
LINDSAY:
You really want someone trawling
through your hard drive? With your
track record?
She’s got him over a barrel but she still decides to appeal
to his moral sense.
LINDSAY:
You’ve got kids. You’d want this
man stopped.
O’Neill examines his conscience. He scribbles on a post-it
note on her desk.
O’NEILL
(Very intimidating)
Didn’t come from me. Got that?
She nods. He exits sharply.
Lindsay reads the post-it note -
TOMMY HUNTER:

CUT TO:
660 FLASHBACK. EXT. HOSPITAL CAR PARK. NEXT DAY.
Lindsay stakes out the car park, eyes on the car with the
registration she’s traced.
A while later, Tommy emerges from the Out-Patients’
Department carrying a prescription.
Lindsay recognises him.
LINDSAY:
Alex Campbell?
Tommy puts on a cough.
TOMMY:
Need to get to the chemist.
He indicates his chest, moves sharply for the driver’s door.
Lindsay flashes her ID.
LINDSAY:
DI Denton. This vehicle is
registered to Alex Campbell.
Tommy puts on the smooth patter.
TOMMY:
My apologies. How can I help you,
inspector?
LINDSAY:
The vehicle’s been linked to the
disappearance of a young woman
named Carly Kirk.
Tommy doesn’t bat an eye. Unseen by Lindsay, a woman
approaches. Tommy looks towards her and Lindsay turns round
to see Jayne Akers.
AKERS:
(Shows ID.)
There a problem here?
Akers’ arrival has wrong-footed Lindsay. She’s working the
case unofficially and this is now a problem.
LINDSAY:
No. No problem. Think I’ve got the
wrong person.
Lindsay hurries away to her car.
(CONTINUED)

660 CONTINUED:
LINDSAY:
Have a good day, inspector!
Lindsay jumps in her car.
LINDSAY:
(Under her breath.)
Sh*t, sh*t ...
Lindsay speeds away. Tommy and Akers watch her go, darkly.

662 OMITTED
662A FLASHBACK. INT. LINDSAY’S HOUSE. THAT NIGHT.
Lindsay eats a microwave meal for one while her cat eats out
of its bowl.
A knock at the door disturbs her.
She opens the front door, but it’s held ajar by the chain.
Through the gap Lindsay sees Akers, to her surprise.
AKERS:
Sorry to disturb you at home,
ma’am. May I come in, please?
Lindsay lets her in.
CUT TO:
662B FLASHBACK. INT. LINDSAY’S HOUSE. MOMENTS LATER.
Akers works her way into Lindsay’s life.
AKERS:
What do you know about Mr.
Campbell, ma’am?
LINDSAY:
I’d rather not say.
AKERS:
You left pretty sharpish. Maybe you
weren’t acting in an official
capacity?
(CONTINUED)
LINE OF DUTY #2.6 Tan revisions 19/07/13 70.
662B CONTINUED:
LINDSAY:
I don’t think we should be having
this conversation.
AKERS:
Like I said, ma’am, I’ve formed the
impression you weren’t following
lawful procedure. You wouldn’t want
me to have to report that, now
would you?
LINDSAY:
This really isn’t acceptable, DS -
AKERS:
Akers, ma’am.
LINDSAY:
I’d like you to go now, please, DS
Akers.
AKERS:
I checked you out, ma’am. This
isn’t like you. You follow the regs
to the letter.
(Off Lindsay’s defiance.)
He’s under witness protection, but
he’s refused to move to a new force
area. He’s even using his own
registered vehicle. Bastard’s
taking the piss.
LINDSAY:
I really shouldn’t have got
involved.
AKERS:
You are involved, ma’am.
LINDSAY:
Meaning?
AKERS:
common purpose.
LINDSAY:
I don’t think so. Please leave.
AKERS:
The girl. You know she’s only 15?
LINDSAY:
Yes.

662B CONTINUED:
(2)AKERS:
Girls, drugs, guns. He’s been into
the lot. Still is, but we can’t
touch him for it.
LINDSAY:
(Wavering.)
Right.
AKERS:
This girl. They’ve drugged her.
They’ve pimped her. They’ve beat
her. There isn’t anything they
haven’t done to her, and won’t keep
doing.
Lindsay is visibly wavering.
AKERS:
Let’s start talking about saving
this girl’s life ...
LINDSAY:
Do you have information about the
girl?
AKERS:
I’ve tried. He won’t tell me a
thing.
LINDSAY:
I’ll arrest him and bring him into
4th Street Station.
AKERS:
Not going to happen. He’s got
immunity. He’s untouchable.
LINDSAY:
He can’t get away with this.
AKERS:
No. He can’t.
Pregnant beats.
AKERS:
This common purpose I’ve got in
mind. It involves finding the girl.
LINDSAY:
What are you suggesting?
