PCU DEBRIEF – UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT

DAN BANBURY The CCTV above the bus stop on Pancras Road recorded the girlfriend leaving the framers on July the sixteenth, heading in the direction of Market Road. We’re trying to trace her whereabouts but we don’t have much to go on.

MEERA MANGESHKAR You have her full name.

BANBURY I’ve had no luck so far so I’m trying other spellings. We’ve got one receipt signature that’s open to interpretation. There are five postcodes around here: N7, N19, NW5, N1 and now N1C. Do you know how many residents aren’t on the electoral register?

JOHN MAY And there’s no one left at Market Road who might recall seeing her.

COLIN BIMSLEY The cops cleared them all away, and there are no residential properties on that stretch, just football pitches. Meera and I figured they had to eat, so we took the screen grab and the poster to the nearest supermarkets on Camden Road. There are five minimarts on that stretch. One guy recalled seeing her around the same time she collected the picture.

MAY Really? Why would he remember her?

BIMSLEY She used to come in regularly. He had to write the customer’s name on the coffee cup, and saw that she had a red rose tattooed on her upper arm. It’s a kind of vegan-organic place called Butterfly, the only place like it in the area – a lot of the musicians go there.

ARTHUR BRYANT So much for rock ’n’ roll. Have they all gone gluten-free now?

MANGESHKAR We’re running a check on ink parlours but it’ll take some time. There are dozens, and a red rose is one of the most common tats.

BRYANT Anything else?

MANGESHKAR That’s all we have at the moment.

BRYANT Because you’re going about it backwards.

BANBURY Sorry, Mr B.?

BRYANT Are there any biscuits? Something I can dunk. Not Lincolns, they fall apart. Something a little more robust, Bourbons, perhaps. Oh, wait, I have these.’
