All language subtitles for Silent Witness S24E10

I've just had the police
on the phone.

Why would they want to come here
if it's not suspicious?

Mr Robson died in his sleep.

Your sister was here.
What the hell does she want?

You think he was murdered?

That student's back
in reception again.

You know, the good-looking one.

What? Ollie?

They're post-grads, right?

Been looking at a few places
for my dad.

It's like looking for a plot
in a cemetery.

Many people live in care homes
happily.

THUNDER CRACKS

"I know who killed Robbo."
Who sent you this?

Must be someone from the care home.

We've got to get the residents
out of the lodge.

I wanted to invite you
to our Halloween party.

"I think they're going to
kill again." Drive.

I would urge people
to stay where they are.

Next question. Are you single?

Water levels are still rising...

Flood defences to the west
have been breached.

People in the affected area
are being advised not to travel...

A large volume of water
is heading our way

and will almost certainly
have a devastating impact.

...and, if possible,
to move furniture

and treasured possessions upstairs.

We could be trapped out here
for days.

Jack!

Hello? Hello, it's Conor.

Are you with Jack?

No. Isn't he home with you?

No, no. I think he's out
in the storm. It doesn't look good.

If you speak to him,
will you get him to call me?

Yes, of course.

I'm not going anywhere.
Is that clear?

Just, please...

Derek?
HE GROANS LOUDLY

It's all right. I'm fine.

NEWSREADER: Flooding along the
Thames corridor is being described

as the worst since 2014,

with hundreds of properties
and families affected.

Water levels are still rising.

VOICEMAIL: Hi there.
You've reached Jack Hodgson.

If you leave me a message,
I'll get back to you.

Hi, Jack, it's me.

I'm just wondering if you're OK
and where you are.

Your dad's just phoned.
He's worried about you.

I'm worried about you.

I hope you're all right.

Can you call as soon as you get...?
DOOR OPENS

Are you coming back to bed? Yeah.

Where's Derek's medication?

It's in the Lodge.

What was he taking? Gabapentin.

It's for...
It's for neuropathic pain.

Can he get something else?

Hi. It's Nikki. Hi, Nikki.

Are you at the care home?
No. I couldn't get there.

We tried to join them,
but we couldn't get through.

And it's not just the flood waters.

I mean, it's fallen trees,
mud slides.

We're not even sure if the road to
the care home's there any more.

We're probably only about
a mile away.

We've set up base at
the Nightingale sports centre.

Have you spoken to either
Jack or Simone?

No, we tried. But the storm's
taken out all the phone masts.

I really hope they're OK.

Does the name Janice Pitram
mean anything to you?

Janice Pitram? No, why?

She was a care home worker
in Scotland.

Her boyfriend brutally murdered
his elderly parents.

She was convicted for
aiding and abetting.

What about her?

Well, when she got out of prison,

she changed her name
to Amrita Naidu.

And she's now working at
the care home?

Yeah, which she shouldn't be,
given her history of violence.

DS Galloway... Look. I've got to go.

I'll let you know if we hear
anything from Jack or Simone.

OK. OK.

What happens if Derek
doesn't take his medication?

He will be in very great pain.
I can't watch people like that.

Do you reckon that
I should make preparations?

How do you mean? I can...
I can get morphine.

What are you suggesting?
Just for when things get...

Just for when he... Just if
the worst comes to the worst...

This is a care home!

How do we care for Derek
when he's in such pain? Hm?

Are you mad? I just... I just...
I just want to help.

Do you want to go back to prison?
And me with you? Hm?

Now, please make sure that the house
residents stay in their rooms.

And you, whatever you're planning...
I'm not planning anything.

...just leave Amrita out of it.

You know those text messages
I got sent?

Well, whoever killed Robbo is here.

Derek has gone walkabout again.
What?

DEREK LAUGHS

Come on, Derek. Look, everyone's
really worried about you. Come on.

You did it to Robbo.
You can do it to me.

No, no. Mr Robson,
he passed away of natural causes.

If that were the case,

why are they here?

DEREK GROANS

All right?
BEEPING

You all right? The battery's going.

There's no power to recharge it.
Are there any more batteries?

In the Lodge.

Hang on.

Keep an eye on them. Yeah. OK.

DEREK GROANS

There you go.

You can't do that all night.

Do we have a choice?

NEWSREADER: ..continues to grow.
A government spokesman has said

more than £2 billion
has been spent on flood defences.

But when a once-in-a-generation
storm like this occurs,

there's very little
that can be done.

Emergency services and the army
are attempting to evacuate those

in the most urgent need,
but they are...

You say nothing, OK, to Mrs Thorpe?

What is it?

Morphine.

For pain relief?

I hope it doesn't come to that.

I looked for Derek's medication,
but it was all flooded.

The drugs cupboard
must have been left open.

SHE SIGHS

It could have been the flood water.

I'm going to get the blame for that.

What, even for the flood?

LAUGHS: Yeah. You name it.

Amrita, you're doing your best,
all right?

Amrita, just one thing.

Kate said Robbo left some money
for you in his will. I...

I didn't ask for it, OK? I...

I'm just as surprised
as anyone else.

I'm not accusing you, Amrita...

OK, it's not my fault that
Mr Robson is dead.

OK? It's not...

It's not my...

What was that? I was just asking...

You need to understand that
my staff has been under

extraordinary pressure
these past two years.

I can only imagine.

I don't know how Robbo got hold of
a fentanyl patch.

What about Dr Young?
Could he have given him the patch?

We don't have a stock of fentanyl.

I thought you said fentanyl
wasn't the cause of death?

Are you saying that Robbo
was murdered?

I'm here to see DS Galloway.

Simone was sent a text message
by someone

saying they knew who killed
Mr Robson.

We rang the number, but...

Robbo's son, Michael,

tried to stop them using
Robbo's body for medical training.

Do you know why?

I tried to talk to Michael,
but he's a very angry man.

He's angry with his father,
his mother, his sister, you name it.

Did Mr Robson ever complain about
how his son was treating him?

You mean physically? Mm.

They argued a lot -
mainly family things, you know?

SHE COUGHS

Because the new defences breached,

this whole area
is now completely flooded...

There must be a way that
we can get through to the care home.

We'd send up a helicopter, but
there's no chance in this weather.

The whole network's down and there's
no physical way of reaching them.

Not at the moment, at least.

Mr Robson?

Mr Robson, do you live near here?

Yeah, I've just been helping out
some of the locals get to safety

in my tractor.

Can you help us?

Do you know of any way that
we could reach the care home?

This is Michael Robson.
He might be able to help us.

There's an unmarked track
through this top field here,

in between my farm
and Watercress Lane, but...

Could you get us there?

No civilians are going anywhere
until this storm is over

and this water has receded.

Are you lonely, Jack?

No-one special in your life
at the moment?

Apart from me, that is.

Right.

This bloody scar tissue -

Derek, come on.
Let's go back upstairs...

If I were your father...

My father?

You wouldn't want this for him,

Derek.

Please. That's not my decision.

Yes.

It should be mine
and I want to make it,

but these bloody stupid hands...

You use that, you'll just end up
hurting yourself.

You do it, then. In the vain.

I beg you.

He's fine. I've sorted it.

Have you seen Amrita? No.

Aah!

Morning, Beattie.
Fancy some porridge?

Where's Mrs Thorpe?

Straight through that way, please.
Keep moving.

Kate?

Is it morning?

It is.

Simone?

Nikki.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Jack? Are you all right?
Where have you been?

Let's get this off.

Sit. Sit.

What's happened?

Caravan...

...washed away...
Was Amrita inside?

I don't know. There was a light...

Let's hope not. Let's get you warm.

Morning, Jack. You look how I feel.

Steve?

Simone? Yeah?

What is it?

This man's dead. What?

No.

How?

There's some bruising on his face...

...and a puncture mark on his hand.

Could he have done it to himself?

No.

Arthritis.

Left handed.

You wanted to see me?

Derek's dead.

Mrs Thorpe.

I need to speak with
a Miss Amrita Naidu.

We're looking for her.
She's been missing for hours.

Jack. Caravan...

What?

Jack saw her caravan
being taken away by the flood.

No! Was she in it?

When you employed Ms Naidu,
how much did you know about her?

What do you mean?

Well, I'm assuming
that you looked at her references

or an employment record.

She came to us at
the beginning of the first lockdown.

We were desperate for staff...
Something to put it in.

Mrs Thorpe, we believe Ms Amrita
Naidu is a false identity.

This is now a crime scene.

I'm going to need
a statement from you both later.

Mrs Thorpe,
you need to come with me.

Can you get him some water?
Yeah.

I think we should
get you to hospital.

I'm fine. Hot bath, I'll be fine.

I need to go home.

I'm going to call a taxi.

I called you.

Yeah. Sorry, I missed your call.

I tried calling you back.

I was out.

Fun times.

I'm just wondering if you're OK

I'm worried about you.

Yeah.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad? What's happened to you?
What's happened to you?

Don't you start. I slipped over.

All right, I can do that.

I'm doing it.

An ambulance came?

I never called them.

That woman over the road -
did you ask her to look in on me?

I'm not a child.

HE SOBS

I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Dad.

What's all this?
I'm sorry I wasn't here.

No, no. Don't fash yourself.

HE CHUCKLES

You're my boy.

I thought you were
going to take today off.

Can I get you anything?
No, it's fine.

I'm sorry about what happened
to Derek.

I'm about to do his postmortem
so hopefully we can...

Are the students coming to watch?

No. Why?

Were you with one of them
last night?

I was with all of them.

Ollie invited me
to their Halloween party.

I drank too much.

I don't really care.

But I do care if you lose
your job... Jack!

I heard him on the message
you left me.

Ollie's just... Ollie.

Sorry I'm late.

You all right?

Recovered? Yeah. I think so.

I've never been so cold.

I didn't know what I was doing
half the time.

Yeah.

When I left the lounge, to look for
Amrita, what were you doing?

How do you mean?

I saw you look at the green box
with the morphine.

Uh...

Derek had taken one of the syringes.
I was putting it back.

Right.

Recent injection mark on his
left hand, as noted at the scene.

There are a few scattered
petechial haemorrhages

in and around his eyes.

Suffocation? Same as Mr Robson?

Well, petechial haemorrhages
can be seen in natural

and unnatural deaths.
Yeah, come on.

I mean, two almost identical deaths,

in the same care home,
same main carer?

You mean Amrita?

Yeah. We found the caravan,
but there was no sign of Amrita,

or Janice Pitram,
as she's better known as.

You think she killed Mr Galton?

LAUGHS: I was with her
the whole time.

What, even when she went missing?

She went missing before
Derek was found dead.

Are you sure? Because that's not
what you said in your statement.

For now, Amrita's
our number one suspect.

The frenum is torn
and there are abrasions and bruising

on the inner aspects of his lips.

OK, just like Mr Robson.
I told you!

Look, the injection marks suggest
that there's drugs in his system,

and there's evidence
of suffocation/strangulation.

Thank you, I'll follow it up. OK.

What do you want? I was hoping to
speak to Dr Alexander.

You shouldn't be here. Yeah, well...
Where are you going? Relax.

Listen, I don't really give a shit
what you and Dr Alexander are up to,

but... It's not... Listen to me.

If you jeopardise her position
here at the Lyell, so help me God...

Jack!

She'll want to see me, all right?
Tell that to her boyfriend.

They're not together any more.

What, you didn't know?

ENGINE RUNS

So, you and the student - what was
that all about? A misunderstanding.

TEXT ALERT

They've found a body.

I'll let Nikki know!

Thanks for getting here so quickly.

We believe it's Amrita Naidu,
AKA Janice Pitram.

Where was the caravan found?
About half a mile that way.

So how did the body end up here?

You saw the strength of the river
from the flood water.

Yes, but...

Has this body been moved?

No, not that I know of.

Who found her?

A dog walker spotted her.

What is it?

She looks surprisingly clean.

You see, she's lying on top of
the flood-disturbed vegetation,

rather than lots of detritus
gathering on or around her.

It suggests that she was deposited
here after the flood.

Really?

You've got all your photos of her?
Yeah, it's all done.

There's no wrinkling of the skin
or any skin slippage

to suggest she's been in the water
for any significant length of time.

There's no obvious bloating either
to suggest prolonged immersion.

There's mud on her boots
which hasn't been washed off.

So how did she get here, then?

Michael?

Nikki, how's it going?

Well, there's a strong smell
of smoke.

Yeah. Jack lit a fire,
to get everyone warm.

Particularly coming from her lungs.

Both lungs were of normal weight.
They weren't hyper-inflated.

There was no fluid
in the sphenoid sinuses,

no water in the stomach
and no froth in the airways,

so I don't think she drowned.

So if she didn't drown,
but was dumped in a flooded field,

stinks of smoke, what happened?

Her tissues are more red
than normal.

Carbon monoxide poisoning?

Very good. If it was,
the blood will have raised

carboxyhemoglobin saturation.

She also had fibres under her nails
I'd love you to identify.

Did you find anything?

Chicken shit.

From the soles of her boots.

Take a look.

What am I looking at?

Frizzled feather fragments.
Don't try saying that drunk.

Or sober.

DNA from the feather suggests
it's a mutation in the KRT75 gene

which causes feathers to frizzle.

So not just any old chicken shit?

Rare breed of Bantam chicken shit.

And guess who has
a farm full of them?

I'm sorry. That's why I'm here.

It has to stop.
I was fine until you came back.

Michael, put it down.
Michael, please!

IN DISTANCE: Michael, stop!

No!

I'm not going to do
what you tell me!

Mum had the right idea.
You just pull the trigger...

Michael, please, please put it down!

Hey, Michael! No!

I need your help.

Amrita - we know she was here.

How?

Bantams.

I found a feather
on one of her boots.

She wanted my help,
but I couldn't -

because she went behind my back.

How? She knew what Dad was
going to do - donate his body...

Why didn't you want him to?

Cos nobody tells me anything -

about Mum, about you,

about Dad, anything!

Our mother killed herself.

Dad never talked about it.
No-one did.

He wouldn't even let me go
to my own mother's bloody funeral.

I didn't know that...
You weren't here!

Is that why you objected?

You wanted him to have a funeral.

I thought I'd finally have
this moment

just to say goodbye,
just draw a line, but...

That's why I'm here.

Please, Michael,
just give me the gun.

Sorry I left and didn't say goodbye
the other night.

What was it, the walk of shame?

No way.

It's the first time
I've enjoyed Halloween, ever.

But, Ollie, I'm hundreds of years
older than you.

Oh, it's just a number.
And it was totally unethical.

You know, none of that stuff matters
if you don't want it to.

Ollie, how can I teach you if I'm...
Start by giving me an A-plus.

A-minus, then.

Always room for improvement.

Look, we can make this work...
Ollie, I can't. We're both adults!

Shouldn't it be up to us what we do?

When I was in your room
and I got calls about work...

...I realised that
I shouldn't be there.

I needed to be somewhere else.

Somewhere else,
or with someone else?

I told you, I had no idea
who she was. Had I known...

It's very possible that she killed
two of your residents, Mrs Thorpe.

No, no, I can't believe that.

If it was anybody,
it was Mr Hodgson.

Sorry, sorry. Are you saying
that Jack killed Derek?

That night, there was a discussion
between you and Mr Hodgson

about preparing for
a worst-case scenario.

It was after Mr Hodgson had put down
Kate's poor dog.

Yeah, the dog was suffering
and Kate begged him to.

Well, how did he kill it?

With a syringe and morphine.

And you're suggesting that that's
what Derek was injected with?

I'm not pointing any fingers.

OK. But we're here about Amrita,
not Derek.

What about her?

Your stepladder.

My stepladder?

We found insulation fibres
under Amrita's fingernails.

There's a crack
in the chimney breast.

And I've taken fibres
for comparison.

Are we sure?

It's Amrita.

As far as I can make out, she would
have needed that to get up there,

but then someone
moved it afterwards.

Jack just sent me this.

When was this taken?

I used to run...

...a care home in Aberdeen.

And Janice used to work for me.

Everyone loved her.

But she...

She was so easily led, though.

Or misled.

I tried to help her.

Save her.

I tried to show her that her
boyfriend was manipulating her.

I warn you now you're under caution.
You don't have to say anything.

I want to tell you.

Amrita had absolutely nothing to do

with her boyfriend's parents'
murders.

I knew that
when she was let out of prison

she was banned from working as
a nurse or a caregiver.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

We needed her.

She was devoted to these people.

So you let us search
the entire building.

You let Jack go outside...
She was frightened!

She...

Not for herself,

but for me, because I gave her
a second chance.

So you hid her in the loft.

Well, I... I thought it would help.

I---

I knew it was smoky
but I thought she'd be fine.

So you found the body and...?

Have you never done something wrong
for the right reason?

How did her body end up
in the middle of a flooded field?

Even if she didn't mean
for Janice to die,

it's still gross negligence.

She could be charged
with manslaughter.

Disposal of a corpse -
that's also an offence.

Either way,
I don't think her or Janice

had anything to do with
Derek's death.

After Jack injected the dog,
how did he seem to you?

What do you mean?

Well, killing a dog,
albeit humanely.

I don't think I could do something
like that

without being deeply affected.
Something.

Yeah, well...

...it was suffering.

Like Derek was suffering.

You and Jack,
in both your statements,

said that when you
left the room Derek was alive

when you went to go and look for
Janice. Yeah. That's right.

Mary told me that
Jack had a syringe in his hand.

What happened to it?

At any point,
when you left the room,

did you leave Jack alone
with Derek?

Yes.

Yes.

Derek was in a lot of pain.

He wanted me to put him
out of his misery.

It might have been
the humane thing to do, actually.

But I couldn't do it.

If it wasn't you, Jack,
then who was it?

Nikki. Look, I've just
spoken to my super

and she doesn't think
it's appropriate

that Jack continues working
on the case. What?

He's not answering his phone.
Is he there with you? No.

OK. Well, if you speak to him,
can you tell him?

I will. Thanks.

Jack's been taken off
the investigation.

Galloway's been asking Jack about
what happened at the care home

on the night that Derek Galton
died.

Simone?

I don't know Jack as well as
you do... What happened?

Before I left the room
to look for Amrita,

I saw Jack with Derek,

and it looked like he was taking

something out of the green
medical box.

You think that Jack injected Derek
with morphine? That's ridiculous.

We've established that both
Nigel Robson and Derek Galton

were killed in the same manner,
implying they were killed

by the same person. Jack couldn't
have killed them both.

Well, I know that, but I've
examined the syringe,

and Jack's fingerprints are
all over it.

DOORBELL RINGS

Shall I try?

Dad?

Hi, Jack.

I'm with Nikki.

She really wants to talk to you.

Jack?

Jack.

Do you know what happened
before Derek Galton died?

Please talk to me, Jack.

Please let me help you.

We get through everything together.

You know I'll always be there
for you.

Nikki?

Come to arrest me?

Have you told the police?

The police think it was me.

I didn't mean that to happen.

What? Them blaming me,
or you killing Robbo and Derek?

Robbo...

...was haunted.

He pleaded with me to help him die.

And Derek...

We were lovers.

Does that shock you?

I couldn't let him suffer any more.

You played God.

If someone's got
to play him, why not me?

Where did you get
the fentanyl patches from?

When I first came here,

I was in such pain
I kept a few back for a rainy day.

And the text message Simone
received? You sent that, didn't you?

They couldn't trace the phone.

Derek had worked out
it was me that killed Robbo,

and he wanted me to do
the same from him.

And I wanted you to stop me.

I don't regret what I did, Jack.

I'm done with all that.

If this place has taught me
anything,

it's to seize the day.

If a thing feels right,

do it.

Um...

I found some footage, um,
on a camera

Michael had installed in
Robbo's room.

The police will want to see that.

Will they charge me with murder?

Probably.

Why did you suffocate them?

I didn't mean to do that. I just...

I...

I couldn't bear to see their faces.

SHE SOBS

Do you know who I blame?

Bloody Peter Pan.

"To die will be
an awfully big adventure.”

Death maybe.

But dying and getting old...

...not so much.

When our mother killed herself...

...I was convinced that I knew
the truth about my dad

and about what had happened and why.

But I was wrong.

Sometimes the truth isn't what
we want to hear.

And neither of us knew the truth.

We just made it up,

and that changed us.

Both of us ran away inside.

Well, we've stopped running.

We can finally say goodbye.

Hi. Hello.

without gloves on.

Touche.
