BEEP

UNZIPPING

I can do that.

Have you picked up
your freshers' pack?

Yes.

Fussing, aren't I? Just a bit.

I don't want to mess up your
schedule. Make you late.

Trust me,

00:01:32,840
The sooner doctors and nurses
know everything

about our individual
medical histories,

the better they can tailor
our treatment.

And the reason we're here today
00:02:08,080
APPLAUSE

Thank you, thank you very much.

I'm really very humbled

that in awarding us this contract

and entrusting us with
the health data of millions,

that the independence of Unitas
00:02:56,680
APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE CONTINUES

Minister? Alice!

Alice! Do you have any comment
about the privacy...?

This way! Not now, Jomo.

Alice...

00:03:46,440
We've had no flashes,
no muzzle smoke.

Stay with us. Stay with us!

SIRENS

GASPING

PHONE RINGS

Nikki Alexander.

Sorry, it's a bad line.

Can you say that again?

00:06:04,760
Thank you. You come highly
recommended by Sam Ryan.

You know her? From her UN days.

Good to finally meet you, Nikki.

You've done extraordinary work
at the Lyell. That's very kind,

00:06:34,480
The threat level has been
raised to critical nationwide,

the Cabinet are sequestered
in COBRA,

and the Home Office have
invoked a Status 2 Protocol.

The PM has requested hourly updates.

Whilst keeping
00:06:59,640
have asked for you all to sign
the Official Secrets Act.

There's no conflict of interest,

given your presence at the scene?

Chain of evidence concerns?

No to the former, yes to the latter.

00:07:26,120
at the crime scene. Ronnie Boyle,

DC Martine Chalal.

DS Martine Chalal, sir.

Has anyone claimed responsibility?

No doubt the usual
fruitcakes and loons

00:08:03,680
Ah! So it's her baby?

So why'd she abandon it?

Right.

First CCTV footage of the shooting.

There's more to follow.

Jomo Mashaba? Yeah.

00:08:35,960
no-one's touched anything.

Can I? Yeah.

You know, we do have
our own forensics up here,

believe it or not.

Right.

So Reynolds was shot around here?

00:09:18,640
Ideally, we'll have our own

evidence supplies,
not just access to yours.

We'll duplicate
and label accordingly.

Thanks.

Chalal!

Thanks.

Sense some history there.

00:10:12,760
It gave us ten
persons of interest,

grading their likely involvement.

All from a database?

A database that only works

if you're asking
the right questions.

But Vigil finds the link you
00:10:39,120
Top of the list was a Kevin Wang.

Does he have form?
He's a Chinese billionaire

with a history of backing
state operations,

but also the proud owner

of the Beckett Tower.
The top floor's

00:11:06,560
Dog's moving in. Bedroom clear.

Sniffer coming through.

Clear! Bathroom clear.

Clear. All sections clear.

How's it all going?

00:11:32,040
Maybe you should keep
your forensic eye on the job

and not your colleagues.

So what's next? A date?

You just answered a question
with a question.

Yeah. Like Jesus.

Just like him.

00:12:08,040
Do you want the full works or
the downlight over the table?

The downlight's fine. Thank you.

When were you last here?

God! Ten years ago?

It was one of my first PMs
for the UN.

A Kilhad Jitkah.

00:12:37,760
They wanted a second opinion -

exactly what we could offer.

International impartiality.

I set up the UN pathology arm
in January 2011,

and I didn't have a customer
until the July.

00:13:20,680
Yeah?

Nicks himself on the handrail?

What, and misses a spot
while clearing up?

Possible. He's in a hurry.

Tall order, hitting
the target from here.

Yeah, but they didn't all
00:14:00,200
I know. Convenient.

Well, let's see what comes back.

Are you OK?

Something smells off.
Are we being handled?

By Sam?

Ah, I'm probably wrong.

No...I know what you mean.

The body is that of
00:14:53,080
embedded in the heel
of her right shoe.

Tests will confirm if

it's the same substance.
I can do that.

Take samples of both,
try to identify.

Thanks, Simone.

00:15:47,240
There's a bullet wound
on the right costal margin

at the midclavicular line.

It has a narrow abrasion ring,

confirming it's an entry wound.

No powder tattooing, smoke soiling

or burns, which ties in
00:16:47,240
The stomach is undamaged,

and gastric contents are minimal,

consisting of
some amber-coloured liquid.

Toxicology will confirm,
but there is a slight

but distinctive odour of alcohol.

Possibly cider?

00:18:17,760
The bullet entered the abdomen,

travelling downwards and backwards

through the liver,
towards the midline,

before going straight through
the abdominal aorta

and lodging next to the spine.

00:18:48,360
right, Jack? Right.

So that's the cause of death?

The, er, the wound? Yes.

Most certainly.

I think it's possible
that the deceased

was in the early stages
00:19:57,240
Well, her husband died
two years ago of cancer,

and her private secretary

told me she'd been single
ever since,

so, yes, it is a surprise to me.

What about the sex?

DNA will tell us.

00:20:44,440
that you have any kind
of procedural role.

Your husband's a secondary
victim and you were present

at the scene. Number 10...

Sees no conflict of interest,
you said.

00:21:05,480
FOOTSTEPS

Jack.

Good to see there's still
a Norn Iron hand on the tiller.

What?

Jack and I were talking
before the postmortem.

As Jomo was shot first
00:21:47,080
When we won the contract,
we gained a data gold mine.

And the powerful enemies
that go with that.

What kind of enemies?

Rival bidders, who were
disappointed, to say the least.

Big Pharma?

00:22:21,280
You don't expect them
to take your word

you are who you say you are.

Why should they take your word
you don't have Ebola or TB

or a new strain of COVID?

These powerful enemies.

00:22:55,640
If you accept the premise

that they'd kill
over a lost contract.

It's a pretty big contract.

Bullet is a 5.56mm.

5.56s can be fired from
any range up to 1,000m,

but its effective range is 200-400m.

00:23:43,680
..also fits with footage of
Jomo Mashaba being shot.

Parameters?

But we've found the firing point.

What are those parameters?

They're expressed as
a cone of tolerance,

00:24:15,520
What? Too far away.

And only falls in the vector
if you allow for UoM.

UoM?

Uncertainty of Measurement,

which adds minimum 2-5 degrees.

00:24:42,480
With respect, until we know for sure

what kind of rifle
or ammunition was used,

we can't jump to conclusions.

We're also waiting for
important meteorological data.

00:25:05,120
the shooter fired
from Beckett Tower!

DS CHALAL: Dr Alexander?

We can't rule it out.

But if ballistics
and the investigation

prove that a mid-range rifle
was used...

00:25:51,280
Not working, are you? Of course!

00:26:09,080
"Does their use outweigh
00:26:31,840
How did you become involved
in health passporting?

We'd only been together a few months

when I suffered a heart attack.

Severe dilated cardiomyopathy.

His only chance was a transplant,

but finding a donor
00:27:07,320
the first centralised organ list,

matching donors and recipients
across the world.

And Unitas Health was born?

Pretty much,

but first we had to invest in
a pair of garden shears

00:27:42,200
Pretty much all the data
that is required

is freely divulged to social media

by millions of us every day.

In all fairness, we do ask
for a little more.

For Unitas to fully function,

00:28:15,240
my job prospects because someone

sells my records
for the price of a pizza.

HE CLEARS THROAT

Are you up for walking us through

the moments
right before the shooting?

Sure.

00:28:47,720
Reflexes.

But you can ask her yourself
if you want.

That's Rosa, my PA.

She's on the way over
with my laptop.

No exaggeration to say that...

..we trust her with our lives.

00:29:26,120
No.

Was it a boy or a girl?
We don't know yet,

but DNA will be able to tell us.

I always wanted a sister.

Me too.

Jo, did you have any
inkling of this?

I mean, she seemed happier.

00:30:15,880
that might help us find
the people who did this.

What?

There's evidence that your mum
had a few drinks

before she died. Cider, to be exact.

But in your statement
you mentioned that she...

00:30:49,440
So I went back to sleep.

The only reason she agreed to
speak at the Unitas thing was

cos I was going to uni here.
You can't beat yourself up

for that.

You can't.

00:31:28,080
And was she drinking alone?

Let's start with the hotel.

Room card data and CCTV
should help, right?

Sure.

INAUDIBLE

Here. Thank you.

Sam?

00:32:09,840
But...

..when you know, you know, right?

Right.

What's the point
in hanging around, eh?

SAM LAUGHS

The doctor's in with your dad,
00:32:41,280
He's driving the doctors mad,
but apart from that he's fine.

Sounds like Dad.

I've got Jomo's laptop in here.

Oh, I thought Rosa
was bringing that in.

We said we were coming,

so she told us to bring it.
00:33:05,960
Why is Rosa
not answering a big deal?

She missed the briefing last night.

We need to get him out of here now.

Hold that. Jack?

MAN: Of course, yes. Of course.

00:34:26,960
Where did that conversation
take place?

Right here.

In her room.

And she gave you the impression
she was going to bed?

Well, yeah. She said
00:34:59,840
suggesting it was pulled out
rather than shed naturally.

I'll speak to hotel security.

Can I help you?

Rosa Hernandez?

Who the hell are you?

DS Martine Chalal.

00:35:33,160
Painkillers? What kind? Aspirin.

There's a full pack right here.

I found some hair
in the bathroom sink

consistent with yours
in length and colour.

There's blood on it,

00:36:09,440
When I brushed my hair,
a few strands came out.

So what?

You actually hit the deck
before everyone else.

Sorry? The shooting was caught
by multiple cameras.

You reacted a good second
00:36:35,520
I've ID'd the yellow substance

on Reynolds' treads as sandstone,

which is not exactly rare
in Liverpool,

but the particles are coated in

a substance I've never seen before.

It looks natural,

00:37:06,880
JACK: Get down!

Chalal, get down!

Oh, my God!

SIMONE: Jack?

Jack?

DS CHALAL: What do I do?

Put your hands on here
and keep the pressure on.

ENGINE REVS

00:38:07,680
with Simone's quick thinking
and guts.

We've got the van's plates
from the CCTV

so every cop in Liverpool
is looking for it.

SIREN

Found these in Rosa's bag.

00:38:33,520
Yeah. Her mum didn't
want to attend this morning.

She felt like she'd had her armed
twisted. So maybe the catch-up
didn't go so well?

Trying to remember
when we last did CPR training.

00:39:17,720
I usually have a glass before bed.

Really? Yeah. A wee dram,

you know? Every day?

Well, every night.

I never knew that.

Why would you?

PHONE ALERT

00:40:06,000
No, no. The Jack Daniels
took care of that.

OK.

BEEP

Night, then.

Night.

It feels about a million years
ago now, but the taxi...

The taxi?

00:40:44,000
Yeah. It was shit timing.

Yeah. Sorry.

It's always shit timing with us.

It is, isn't it? Yeah.

Why is that?

Morning.

Good morning.

00:41:45,680
but we have the contents
of Rosa Hernandez's phone.

Given that Rosa worked with Jomo,

I haven't shared this
with Sam Ryan yet.

Alice Reynolds, with...

Could that be the man that we
thought was looking for Jomo

00:42:16,680
Now we know
when she drank the cider.

Is there any news on
the sandstone in the shoe?

Yeah. Getting there, slowly.

I looked into the weird
sandstone as...

Sorry. Can you just
00:42:44,000
Not to tell you your job,
Superintendent...

Finding this man's a priority.
THE priority.

He hasn't come forward yet, has he?

We haven't identified the
father of Reynolds' child yet.

Maybe it was him.

00:43:13,880
Jomo's beside himself.

They were close? Mm.

How about you?

Me?

When Rosa didn't show up
at the hospital yesterday,

you were very quick
to assume the worst.

00:43:51,160
What are you driving at, Nikki?

I'll tell you.

I'm worried that I don't know
all there is to know.

About what?

Everything. Rosa, Unitas, all of it.

And I can't dismiss
the thought that you've...

00:44:28,200
theoretically
anyone could scupper it.

That's not much of an answer.

What's your link between Rosa
and Alice Reynolds?

You mean apart from the fact
that they're both dead?

Yes. Apart from that.

00:45:19,400
The cartridge case is
missing its headstamp,

as in someone's taken the time
to grind it off.

Well, that's seriously risky, right?

Bloody dangerous.

Clearly they thought the chance
00:45:44,280
With acid etching,

I was able to recover the
indentations of the stamp.

So a complete waste
of time on their part, right?

All risk and no reward.

So the headstamp tells us
this cartridge case

00:46:18,960
but a case of 5.56 cartridges
was signed out ten days ago

and went missing in transit.

The private on duty
at the time, Charlie Black,

is on leave,
but CID just paid him a visit.

Is he cooperating?
00:46:55,720
Team effort.
If it wasn't for DS Chalal...

Just open the door, will you?

All right?

You've been at this a while,
Charlie.

Piecemeal, is that how
you did it? Little and often?

00:47:45,040
the same assassin you supplied.

Time to play that card, Charlie.

There were two.

Man and a woman.

I supplied a box of rounds
and an SA80.

Woman came in. Sounded American.

00:48:39,000
My God. We're actually
getting somewhere.

What do we think?

Good enough to run through
Vigil network?

May be too grainy
for a precise match,

but you should get
some candidates, sure.

00:49:20,440
It's unusual.

There's a combination
of etching primer,

oil-based components,
some traces of

anodised aluminium.
Evidence suggests that

it's a different kind
of paint to the car.

00:49:48,880
We know the bullet hit the
flagpole, but not the angle.

Right. I'll take possible today.

Port of Liverpool Building.

Top five floors have been
renovated into residential,

so I'm guessing the best bet
00:51:14,520
Oh!

HE CHUCKLES

Oh!

5.56.

How do you think they missed it?

Spread too thin?

Under pressure to get
a result? Doesn't matter -

we found it.

I hear you got prints and DNA.

00:54:04,000
in the last three years.
Have you got an ID?

Just a close match to a woman
fleeing a shooting in 2018.

Where? Stockholm.

Who's the victim? Morten Sondberg.

00:54:29,960
The senior partner,
I'd say. Anything else?

Yeah. A second postmortem
was carried out by the UN.

Sam Ryan? Mm.

You can run it up the flagpole,

but it sounds like
00:55:02,760
..but she wasn't.

Now she's dead.

And you know who's next.

SAM: I'm not sure how
much I can help you.

I flew to Stockholm
to do the Sondberg PM.

It was pretty uneventful,
00:55:45,400
Nothing else stands out?

Sam?

Tom Faulkner was there in Stockholm.

Unofficially.

Who's that?

Someone we both used to know.

Have you seen him lately?

After he left the army,
00:56:27,520
Right.

It was Tom at his best.

He's changed a bit since then.

A lot.

PHONE RINGS

Sorry.

Hello?

It's me. Someone needs an update,

00:57:41,680
