See No Evil: The Moors Murders Page #7

If we find anything with the sticks

and they smell like human remains...

Thank you.

Don't miss anywhere.

The ground's hard here.

The search of moorland

adjacent to the A628 Woodhead Pass

has been going on for over two days now.

But the police have still found no evidence

that any bodies have been buried there.

There's been no official

confirmation from the police...

I'm sorry, Mrs Kilbride.

There's still nothing.

I see.

Mr Mounsey! Over here!

...as to how long this search

may continue.

What have you got, lads?

Let's have a look.

We might have something here, sir.

No, it's just a dead sheep.

All right, keep at it, lads.

I'm going to mention some names to you.

Names of children.

I just want you to tell me

if you've heard of them.

Lesley Ann Downey.

Never heard of her.

Keith Bennett.

John Kilbride.

Never heard of him.

All right, then.

Have you heard of Pauline Reade?

Is that funny, Myra?

I knew Pauline Reade.

I grew up with her.

I liked her.

Lesley Ann Downey.

Have you heard of Lesley Ann Downey?

It has been pretty public.

Papers, television, rewards.

Nobody at work ever mention

Lesley Ann Downey?

And John Kilbride. You've never heard of him?

I don't know him. I have never heard of him.

Have you ever been to Ashton market?

No, I have never been to Ashton market.

- Never?

- Never.

Never been to Ashton market.

Where do you shop, then?

I shop at Adsega's sometimes.

I go into the city centre.

Where do you shop?

The John Kilbride I'm talking about went missing

from Ashton market 23rd of November 1963.

And I'm supposed to have murdered him

and buried him on the moors?

I believe so, yes.

And I suppose I did the same...

to the other names in this book, yeah?

Joan Crawford.

Robert Urquhart.

Alec Guinness.

Deary me. I mean...

Alec will be sorry to hear of the

premature end of his acting career.

Do you have children? Eh?

Two.

Hm...

Well, I can understand why this is...

an emotional subject for you.

We'll not get a cough out of him.

Come on, lads. I know you're tired

but you're doing a grand job.

You see, the ground she's on here

is quite flat and stony.

I've been all over,

I can't find any ground like that round here.

You think we're looking in the wrong place,

don't you?

I don't know.

If there were more background in the photo,

something to give us a reference point...

So if WH isn't Woodhead,

what else could it stand for?

Wuthering bloody Heights for all I know.

Prescott's not going to let this go on

for much longer.

If we don't find the bodies,

they'll get away with this.

Sir. Message from Jock Carr.

The suitcases that Smith told us about,

he's found them.

Good lad.

Right, let's have a look, then, shall we?

Have you got a tape recorder

in the station, sir?

Jock. Go and ask the sergeant, will you?

Find a tape recorder.

Sir...

Isn't that Lesley Ann Downey?

Looks like her.

Oh, f***ing hell fire.

We need to talk to Smith, sir.

Jock.

You're right in it now, Smith.

Come on.

Hey.

You better have some bloody good answers.

What's this about?

Do you recognise any of this lot?

The notebook's mine.

I don't know about the rest.

You lying little bastard!

What? What am I supposed to have done?

You know what's on that tape, don't you?

- You know what comes before that song!

- No.

- Yes, you do! You were there!

- I wasn't!

A little girl, being asked to do

unspeakable things for a man by a woman,

crying for her mam, begging for mercy.

Only, you didn't show any mercy, did you?

You helped Hindley and Brady

torture and kill her.

- Like you helped kill Edward Evans!

- No!

So, let's jog your memory.

Look at that. Who's that? ls that Lesley

Ann Downey before you got hold of her?

Isn't she sweet? Innocent?

Isn't she trusting?

Now look what was done to her

in the bedroom of No.16.

Look at her!

You were there, weren't you?

You were watching!

No, I wasn't!

So what do you think of Myra now, then?

It might not be Myra's voice on the tape.

It might be some other woman.

It's Myra.

Do you think Dave's told you everything

about his relationship with Ian and Myra?

Yeah.

He didn't tell you about the armed robbery.

So what else don't you know?

- What else could there be to know?

- What about his sexual inclinations?

What's that got to do with anything?

Brady lent him dirty books.

Lots of people read books like that.

Doesn't mean...

And lots of people

interfere with children.

And some of them even murder 'em.

You're not saying Dave's done that?

I don't know. Do you think he could?

I'm his wife, for God's sake!

I live with him! I sleep with him!

How can you ask me that?

You live with him. You sleep with him.

So who else would be in a better position

to know the truth?

I don't know the truth,

about Dave, about my sister...

I don't know the truth

about bloody anything any more!

"Notes taken from books I have enjoyed...

He said that what she refused him

he was going to take by force,

so let the girl be stripped naked."

So, the idea of raping young girls

gives you a kick, does it?

No? "Rape is not a crime.

It is a state of mind.

Murder is a hobby and a supreme pleasure."

- I just copied that to impress him!

- No, no. Come on, lad.

You enjoyed killing Edward Evans,

didn't you?

And Lesley Ann Downey.

John Kilbride. Pauline Reade.

- Pauline Reade? You think she's part of this?

- I know she is.

I knew Pauline, I grew up with her!

You think I killed her?

That's exactly what Myra says.

And she's lying. And Brady's lying.

And I think you're lying too.

I haven't killed anyone! I haven't!

But you haven't told us everything,

have you?

Have you?

Shall we listen to that tape, shall we,

- to that girl begging for mercy?

- No!

I'll play it to you again and again

till you tell me the truth.

What haven't you told us?

- Edward Evans.

- What about him?

Maureen and me are

in the sh*t with money.

The council are

threatening to evict us.

I told Ian.

He said he'd go down Manchester,

find a businessman,

bring him back and we'd rob him.

That's why Myra came

round for me that night.

I thought we were just going to frighten

the bloke so he'd hand over his wallet.

But I walked in and...

there was Ian with the axe.

- Why didn't you tell us this before?

- I knew what you'd think!

You'd think what I'm trying not to -

that Evans would still be alive now

if me and Ian hadn't made that plan!

But I promise you,

I haven't hurt any children.

At least tell me you believe that!

I do actually, lad.

Good lad. Have another fag.

There may have been a plan for a robbery,

but he's no murderer.

Can I wait for him?

- Go on, then. Get yourself home.

Sir. 13-year-old girl from Hattersley's

come forward with new information.

She says Brady and Hindley befriended her,

took her out for some drives on the moors.

- Does she know which moors?

- Yes, she's very clear.

Wessenden Head, Saddleworth.

- WH!

- We were in the wrong place.
