Sawney: Flesh of Man Page #2

---

There's a f***ing lunatic out there.

The public need to be alerted.

Surely with your tech...

Cheers, Hector.

I mean, surely with

your technology you can...

- you can find out...

- Shh. Listen.

The samples didn't

provide us with any clues

as to who the other persons were.

There were no personal effects,

nothing.

What the forensic report did say

is that some of the remains

were immersed in water

over a long period of time.

This spot is called Clootie Well.

It's a reputed sacrificial site

belonging to druids.

We've checked it out...

found nothing.

Okay, maybe I'll take a look.

But why are you

telling me this now?

You have a way

of finding out things.

We don't want this out.

Not yet.

- Hmm?

' Okay,

I'm going to need the facts

as I go along, Bill.

And I won't wait forever.

I appreciate that.

Look, as soon as we have

something, it's yours.

By the way, forensics also said

that some of the flesh

had been eaten and gnawed at.

What by an animal?

No.

By a human.

Are you kidding me?

No.

You might have to add

cannibalism to your story.

Enjoy.

Oh f***!

Hey! You can't park here.

There's a rank at the shopping center.

Move there.

Is there anybody in there?

Hey! What the hell

do you think you're doing?

You better open up, mate!

I know you're in there.

Jesus Christ.

No. God. Oh my God.

Hey!

What the f***?

Listen, mate, I've told you,

you can't park...

Oh my God.

No. Please please.

Please please please

please please.

Oh my God.

Cheers, mate. Thanks.

Sh*t.

Wend.

Wendy, come on.

Wendy, come on.

Look, we need to talk.

Let's go have a coffee

- at the hotel or something.

- What do you want?

I don't have time.

When Charlotte disappeared,

who reported it and when?

I thought the police gave you

all their information.

Yeah, they did.

It's just that I'm tying up

some dates and times

with some of my own notes.

One of her student friends

who left her at the taxi rank...

Wait. She caught a taxi

before she disappeared?

Yeah.

But the police contacted

all the taxi companies,

even the private ones.

Nobody remembers seeing her

or taking her home.

She just vanished.

Nobody knew or saw anything.

I know.

I even published her photo

in the newspaper.

Not one call.

Nothing.

Anyway, it's too late now.

I just really miss her.

We can try again.

I wanna s...

For f***'s sake! What?

Ah, good afternoon to you too.

Yeah, your timing's sh*t.

Oh, so you don't want

to know the latest then?

- Ah. So what's up?

- Well, we've just received a call

from a Jamie McPherson.

It seems his girlfriend

has gone missing.

We're questioning him right now.

He left her outside

a club a few nights ago,

thought she'd get a taxi home,

- hasn't been seen since.

- A taxi?

Listen, Bill, we need to meet up.

I need to run something by you.

- Is it all right if I come down?

- Sure.

I'll see what I can find out

and I'll let you know.

Get off him!

Jesus said, "Unless you eat

the flesh of man

and drink his blood,

you have no life in you."

Mmm.

Ahh.

The gospel is deliberate

in giving us these words

and inviting us

to feed upon them.

Ah, tasty!

No more tickets.

Get more gravy!

Patience, Mother.

Patience.

What took you so long?

If you've been touching that girl,

you'll know what I'll do.

Yeah. Ah!

Right!

Take this to your mother.

And get your brother

to fillet this rat.

I'll be upstairs

preparing the motor.

Ah.

What now?

You idiots. Find her!

No.

She's pretty.

Do you think, uh...

he had anything to do with it?

I don't know.

Can I trust a dealer?

But the doorman did say that he

saw her on her own before he left.

I'll get it ready for print,

you just say the word.

So what was it you wanted

to talk to me about?

Well, two things.

First, this is the site

of an unsolved case

where the bodies of missing people

were discovered in 1970.

And this is where Charlotte's

remains were found.

They're in the same vicinity.

So where did you get the photo?

The library.

And the murders were

a similar act...

mutilation.

I'll get someone

from records onto this...

and I'll check

the details of the case.

Simple detection, Bill,

all from the library.

That would be

over 40 years ago.

It means the killer would be

getting on a bit. Don't you think?

Well, I'm going out there

tomorrow anyway.

I'll let you know how I get on.

I'd be interested.

Any leads are welcome.

So what's the other thing?

Everyone's been talking about taxis

before the girls go missing.

Isn't it strange that the last time

the girls are seen

is before they catch a taxi?

If you're talking

about Charlotte McIntyre,

we carried out extensive

enquiries for over a week.

Nobody saw anything.

We did bring in a couple

of convicted drivers

and had them thoroughly checked,

but they had proven alibis.

What about this new girl Rebecca

and the taxi she caught?

No.

I said the boyfriend

thought she caught a taxi.

She's not missing yet.

Sweet.

No.

Tidy.

Very very tidy-

You little dancer.

Hail the winds of vengeance.

Slay what may be in our way.

The guilty will

always be condemned.

Amen.

Hey. I was just

thinking about you.

Why? Do you need

more information?

No. Come on, Wend.

I really miss you.

Anyway, I think

Charlotte was being stalked.

Stalked?

W-what do you mean?

A student friend of Charlotte's

sent me some photographs

from the graduation party.

Two of the photos

with Charlotte in them

have got the same car

in the background.

They were taken

at different locations.

It's a taxi...

a black cab.

Can you see

the registration number

or a face behind the wheel?

No, you can't see

the number plate-

it's blocked by a person

and then another car.

It looks like the windows

have been blacked out.

Do you think it's possible

that the killer is a taxi driver?

I don't know, Wendy,

but that sounds suspicious.

Look, I want to come round

and see them but...

look, I'm in town at the moment

but I want to come and see you anyway.

No, you can't.

I've got to go to work

and I'm already late.

But you can take me

for dinner tomorrow.

I'll bring them along then.

I'll call you.

Look... great.

That so... that sounds great.

Look, I'll see you then.

I love you.

I love you too.

Yes!

Come on, Hamish.

Hi, Wend.

Hello?

Mr. MacDonald.

Hello?

You can see

what I mean, can't you?

The smell's obnoxious

and it's specially strong

at night for some reason.

It is strong.

And there's a higher

than normal reading.

Possibly a blockage somewhere.

Do you know this has

been happening for years

and nothing's been done about it?

But it's gone too far this time.

I mean my husband's

even willing

to sell this place

at a loss because of it.

I'm quite surprised,

because a new

pumping station was built

not far from here

a couple of years back.

Your line used to run

through the old mine shaft...

so let me check that out first

and I'll get back

to you, Mrs. Cameron.

Okay.

Oh Jesus!
