[Upbeat music]

Now, give this one a chance.

Try to keep an open mind, okay?

I can manage.

Fine.

Oh.

All the rooms are en suite
and have wheelchair access.

There's a nurse on duty 24 hours

to ensure round-the-clock care.

Looks great.

Better than all the others
we've seen, eh, mum?

Do you allow pets?

I'm afraid not.

Oh, dear, that's a problem.

No, it isn't.

You hate pets.

You flushed my
goldfish down the toilet.

And I know how that
feels now, don't I?

And a sun terrace,

where residents can
relax, weather permitting,

enjoy afternoon tea.

They're all so old.

Isn't there anyone my age?

I think you'll find a
young-at-heart attitude

in most of our residents.

It's all in our brochure.

Except the bit
about making us pay

through the nose for it.

We try to minimise
costs, naturally.

Especially the food.

His dog gets better
food than we do.

He doesn't eat fillets mignon,
Leonard, that's for certain.

In fact, our gourmet meal
service has won various awards.

As mr Casey here well knows,

having lived here longer
than any other resident.

You call this living?

What do you think
Maggie would have said?

Let's move along, shall we?

That's right. Pretend
it never happened.

Maggie newley.

A former resident.

She committed suicide.

It was all very sad.

Sad for business he means.

Maggie didn't commit suicide.

Somebody murdered her.

You won't find
that in the brochure.

[Upbeat music]

Maggie newley, 72 years old.

She was a resident

at the whitemead care
home for the elderly.

Don't tell us, she
died of boredom.

Drug overdose.

The autopsy revealed a
lethal amount of tramadol

in her body.

Tramadol?

Yes, a morphine-based
painkiller.

Which Maggie was
prescribed for her arthritis.

However, when
it's taken in excess,

it has the effect
of shutting down

the entire respiratory system.

So, the question is-

did she jump or was she pushed?

Exactly.

Now, the original
police investigation

found insufficient evidence

to support any
definite conclusion.

She topped herself.

So would I if I ever ended
up in one of those places.

Absolutely.

Concrete coffins,
the lot of them.

Actually, I've heard some
of them are very good.

Especially if you
need full-time care.

That's what the psychiatric
social workers tell you.

And relatives.

It saves them the hassle
of having to look after you.

Well, it's good you're
all keeping an open mind.

It only happened last year.

It's still unsolved, isn't it?

I think we should check it out.

We've already got
a case on the go.

Yeah, but when forensics
match the blood to Gillespie

then we're done.

You are still
chasing that, right?

Should get the results tomorrow.

Okay.

Well, let's dig
into this until then

and see if it's worth
taking to strickland.

You mean this
didn't come from him?

Then why are we bothering?

He's never gonna sanction this.

Yeah, what's so
important about this one

all of a sudden?

My mother has decided
that she wants to live there,

and I need to make sure
it's safe before she moves in.

Oh.

I'm reviewing a
case, that's all.

There's no breach
of protocol in that.

If you don't wanna
come with me, fine.

I'll go by myself.

Sandra!

She can't cope on
her own any more.

Why? What's wrong with her?

Do you want a list?

Hello, mate.

How are you? Thanks for coming.

Brian Lane, ds Dougie Taylor.

Good of you to come
and speak with us.

No problem.

Come on, sit down.

Me and Gerry go back a long way.

Best governor I ever had.

Good old days, eh?

So, how come you wanna talk
with this pensioner case, then

I thought ucos only
investigated old crimes.

So it was a crime, then?

Not in my book.

Maggie newley killed herself.

Probably accidentally
but how do you prove that?

Especially when her relatives
are screaming it's a murder.

The investigation was a farce.

No-one cared about the
truth, least of all the home.

And the police
weren't far behind.

- Daniel.
- What?

Someone gave her that
overdose deliberately.

What makes you so sure of that?

Because she was a Christian,

and for her suicide was a sin.

Might she have got confused

over the amount
of pills she'd taken?

She could finish
the times crossword

in less that 20 minutes.

Can you do that?

I'm more of a
telegraph man myself.

Look, her medication was
kept in a locked cabinet.

There were two keys
and the nurse had one.

Yeah, we looked into
the nurse, Fiona fielding.

I couldn't see it myself.

Ten years service,
impeccable record.

Where's the motive?

According to your report,

there was a spare
key to the drugs cabinet

in the main office.

So in theory, any one
of the staff or residents

had access to it.

Yeah.

Including Maggie.

Perhaps she just
needed an extra stash

in case the arthritis
got too much.

Perhaps she was
just trying to end it all.

Unlikely, though.

Given the file also says she
was planning a spring wedding.

I wasn't thrilled when
she announced it.

43 years married to my father

and suddenly she's in
love with someone else.

His name's Leonard Casey.

He's a resident at the home.

Yeah, I've met Leonard.

She was so excited.

Kept showing us
her engagement ring.

The ring that was stolen?

She'd been telling me for weeks

there was a thief there,
that things had gone missing

we complained to the home

but they said they'd
sacked a cleaner

and the stealing had stopped.

And now she's dead.

Look, they hadn't
sacked any cleaner, right?

They just said
that to shut him up.

'Cause the person doing the
nicking was his bloody mother.

So she stole her
own engagement ring.

That's quite a trick
when you're dead.

That still doesn't mean
she was murdered, does it?

Somebody could have
taken it the next day

when they found the corpse.

They being the manager.

Colin meadows, and
her fiance, Leonard.

Yeah.

Plus half the other
residents there.

You know, I mean
I can't remember,

at the time this was
considered natural causes.

We're not talking about a
closed crime scene here.

Besides, it wasn't
worth a lot, was it?

A couple of grand, tops.

That's quite a lot
to some people.

So you never found who took it?

Did I bust a gut on this?

No, I didn't.

I had no forensics,
I had no leads,

I had a stack of other
cases building up.

One of them was a serial rapist.

Now, come on, fellas.

Where are you gonna
put your energies?

This is a case of
accidental overdose.

Let's not make this into
something it isn't, please.

Okay.

Yeah, well, thanks
for your time.

No.

No, I'm telling you, all right?

Just back off, okay?

You lot are getting quite
a reputation, aren't you?

A reputation for
making the rest of us

look like a piece of shit.

Look, I'm warning you.

Don't piss in my porridge.

Yeah, right.

We'll bear that in mind.

Gerry, please.

My governor, he hates
me at the moment.

Don't give him this to beat
me up with as well, please.

Dougie, you used to work
a case till you dropped.

What happened?

I got old.

No. There's no such thing.

We got this from
Maggie newley's son.

It was filmed at the home
a week before she died.

[Upbeat music]

We love it.

Yes, we love it.

She doesn't look like a woman

who's about to commit suicide.

Esther always wanted me
and her to dance like that.

It's easy.

You just grab 'em,
spin 'em, twirl 'em.

Gerry, stop it.

Working hard, I see.

Er... yes, sir.

We're looking at a new case.

It's something I need to
talk to you about, actually.

Maggie newley, perhaps?

Whitemead residential home?

Let's take this opportunity

to review our unit's
guidelines, shall we?

No, don't sit down.

I've just received a call from
a detective sergeant Taylor.

Oh, shit.

He's wondering
what ucos are doing

encroaching on his
still-active investigation

into Maggie nelwy's death.

Still active?

When I phoned him he couldn't
even remember her name.

You are aware of ucos's remit?

Yes, sir, of course.

You look at cold cases.

You do not interfere
in anything ongoing.

Sir, this case was left
open on file by the coroner.

A conscientious officer
might still be working on it.

No, but I checked

and I couldn't find
anything that led to that.

Was there any new
evidence or circumstances

to prompt your
sudden involvement?

Not as such.

But there could be
a competency issue.

Don't you mean a domestic one?

Sandra, I'm deeply sympathetic
to your mother's poor health.

Sir, I told you
that in confidence

in case I needed time off.

So you're not using
valuable police resources

to try to remedy your
private problems?

I did warn her.

No, sir, Maggie
newley was murdered.

I'm sure of it.

Then let ds Taylor prove it.

It's not your concern.

Just ask your mother to
choose a different home.

Have you had a bad day, Sandra?

Oh, yes, I have had
the shittiest day possible,

thanks to you, and I
am not gonna repeat it.

I've had to stand
in front of my boss

feeling humiliated by that fact

that everything he was
accusing me of is true.

What have you done?

Aside from jeopardising
my career, you mean?

I lay my job on the line

so that I can stupidly
prove to you that I care.

Yes, it's all about
you, isn't it, Sandra,

and your precious career?

Just like your father.

Oh, for goodness sake!

Why are you doing this?

You said it was better than
the other places we saw.

Bollocks. Why really?

Is it some kind
of payback, is it?

Revenge for the fact I haven't
phoned or visited enough?

You can be very
childish at times.

Oh, and insisting on going here

to this place where
someone was murdered,

that's maturity, is it?

You don't know that for sure.

I do.

I'm certain of it.

So, you are not
moving into a place

where the person who
did it is probably still there.

Oh, this means
you care, does it?

Oh, no. It means i'm
selfish, just like you said.

Because if anybody's
gonna have the pleasure

of murdering you, it bloody
well deserves to be me!

[Upbeat music]

We've gotta do something.

If neither strickland
or her mum'll budge,

they've got her balls in
a kebab, haven't they?

A kebab?

I'm hungry but you
know what I mean.

We've gotta be able to
help her out somehow.

Well we could always
investigate the case unofficially.

There's a point.

Strickland needn't know.

He will when the home complains.

They won't want
this thing reopened.

Well, what if they
don't know either?

We could go in undercover.

Work the case from the inside.

That's brilliant.

Yeah, Jack goes
in as a resident-

hang on.

What do you mean Jack can go in?

Any one of us
would fit in there.

Don't flatter yourselves.

All right. Brian, then.

No.

But you've done
undercover work before.

I'm a married man, Gerry.

I can't go in there.

Esther was very
unsettled last time.

It's got to be one of you.

It can't be me.

I've gotta play
the upset relative,

taking his poor old
dad into a home.

His dad?

You couldn't pass for my son.

It's more believable
than the other way round.

Look, look.

You go in and I can visit you.

But at the same time I
can be talking to the staff

and the residents.

Be your liaison on
the outside. It's perfect.

You're taking the piss.

All right, I tell you what.

You and I can
toss for it, right.

Whoever loses goes in.

You can't decide a thing
like this on the toss of a coin.

Spin it, heads.

Sorry, Gerry.

Oh, well, maybe you can.

You pay for him.

[Gerry laughs]

All right, grandad.

Daddy.

Bogs.

Here you go.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

About the house.

What do you mean?

Selling the house.

You must have been
relying on it as an inheritance.

No, course not.

It's galling, I know,

using it to pay for
my own survival.

I'm sure there'll
be something left.

I don't rely on anything.

No, that's your greatest
strength, isn't it, Sandra?

Your father's too.

Actually, I learned
that from you.

[Phone buzzes]

Hi, Jack.

What is it?

Can't it wait till tomorrow?

All right. Okay.

- Oh, no.
- I've got you, mum.

I've got you.

[Sombre music]

So what's actually
wrong with her?

Ménière's disease

that can be nasty, can that?

Makes you go all dizzy,
then you vomit and fall over.

[Sombre music]

Call if you need anything.

[Sombre music]

How's she feeling?

Better.

She just needs to rest.

And what about you?

Right.

Undercover.

And whose stupid idea was that?

His.

We thought you'd jump at it.

It solves all your problems.

Really?

Okay. So, what
do I tell strickland?

That we're working
on the Gillespie case.

There's been complications.

Then Jack takes leave and
moves straight into the home.

Provided they've got a
place for me, of course.

Actually, that
wouldn't be a problem.

Because they've been
desperate for people

since the incident.

[Gerry] See? I told you.

So what if you do
find something out?

What, then?

We can't use the information-

we've sussed that as well.

Dougie Taylor.

What do you mean?

He's told strickland that
he's still investigating it.

Like hell he is.

We get a result,

we give him the evidence
and let him make the arrest.

And why would he
agree to do that?

Because he needs it.

Believe me, if we
give him any credit,

he'll grab it with both hands.

It's win-win for everybody.

No. No, it's out
of the question.

Strickland's ordered us off
the case, so my hands are tied.

I'm sorry.

Oh, well.

Of course, if you lot
had any sense at all,

you wouldn't have told me,

you'd have just gone
straight ahead and done it.

They can't charge you lot
with insubordination, can they?

[Upbeat music]

Matilda?

Is that you?

Oh, it is you.

Esther...

Oh, hello.

This is Simon hall, Brian.

His father's a di hall.

Di Martin hall.

Captain of the metropolitan
police sprint relay team.

1979-1983.

I knew he'd taken it.

He had.

I'm sorry.

But he's asked me
to give it you back.

I was the best
rider on that team.

Which undermined
his leadership authority,

so he engineered my removal.

First with a whispering
campaign, then by nicking my bike.

He's an odious man.

- Brian!
- Odious.

Di hall's got throat cancer.

He's in hospital.

He's truly sorry, mr Lane.

[Sombre music]

I'm requesting some leave.

Personal reasons.

I'd like a week off,
effective immediately.

And we're requesting this item.

It's to aid with our inquiries.

Into the Gillespie case.

Have we heard from forensics?

No, not yet.

Er, the paperwork's gone astray.

So we thought we'd
better use the time wisely.

Yeah, to look at the evidence,
tie up a few loose ends.

Okay, I'll get you
this item, and, Jack?

Yeah, you can take the week off.

As long as you're careful.

Anything else?

No, no.

Thank you.

[Car engine revs]

There you go.

The bates motel.

Just don't take a shower, eh.

[Gerry laughs]

Morning. This is my
father, Jack halford.

Welcome to
whitemead, mr halford.

I'm Colin meadows,
the manager here.

May I give you a hand?

I'm fine, thank you.

You're not gonna get any
friends by being grumpy.

Come on.

Turn that frown upside down.

Dr Brian Lane.

I'm mr halford's
reiki practitioner.

I'll need to speak
with your medical staff.

Um, yes, of course.

I'll take you to nurse
fielding right away.

Mr halford, this
way to the lift.

I'll show you to your room.

See, I told you I could
pass as your son.

- Ow!
- Sorry.

And, oh, yeah,
here's the mobile.

Oh, right.

In case a thief
is lurking about.

And here's a designer watch.

If anybody asks, that's
£1,000-worth of timekeeping there.

How much was it really?

A fiver off a market
stall in Thailand.

But it was a present from
my daughter so I want it back.

All right.

May I come in?

Of course you can, my love, yes.

I'm Gerry and this
is my father Jack.

Pru Sanders.

I live at number 5 opposite.

I've brought you a
little welcome present.

It's not much, but I
have got a kettle on

if you'd like a cup of tea.

He'd love one, wouldn't you?

Isn't that a lovely
gesture, daddy?

I've got to unpack.

No, no, you've got
loads of time for that

you can do it later.

Remember what the doctor said.

Carpe diem.

Seize the day.

And the biscuit.

You warm the pot
up, he'll be right over.

Actually, I have quite
a selection of teas.

I order them especially.

See you in a minute.

[Pru chuckling]

- Delicious.
- Thank you.

Nice, eh?

That murderer we're looking for.

Yeah?

I think it's going to be me.

Everybody, this is Jack.
Halford, a new arrival.

- Hi, Jack.
- Hello, Jack.

Did she allow you to unpack,

or grab you before you
came through the door?

By the way, if she offered
you tea and biscuits,

it means she wants
to have sex with you.

It does not mean that.

Oh, no, no, I was forgetting.

It's Alice here.

As someone once told
Leonard he was amusing,

and, unfortunately,
he believed them.

Now, watch frank.

He pretends he's got Parkinson's

so that he can
look at the cards.

All lies.

Now, it's straight draw poker.

Do you know how to play it?

Right, ante up.

Let's see what the
new man is made of.

[Upbeat music]

- [Jack] Four 7s.
- [Crowd] Oh!

Thank you very much.

Mine, I think.

[Colin] I'm sorry,
you're not allowed...

I just want to speak to
Leonard, just five minutes.

- Leonard.
- Hi, Daniel, what's up?

I've had a visit
from the police,

they're still
interested in the case.

What did you tell them?

Mr newley, please.

Have you found out
something important?

Nobody's interviewed
me in months.

But she said she'd talk
to you, a superintendent.

Get off!

Don't hurt me, please.

I've just arrived. I don't
know what you want

but it's nothing to do with me.

He's not going
to hurt you, Jack.

Are you, Daniel?

No, just the person
who killed my mother.

All right.

That's it.

I'm sorry, mr halford,
this won't happen again.

Welcome to whitemead.

He did what?

What the hell were you thinking?

He's got a court bloody
order telling him to stay away.

Do you want your kids
visiting you in prison now?

Is that it?

Mrs newley.

Go on.

Go and play now outside.

I can't do this.

I can't deal with this.

He had a breakdown.

Did he tell you that?

After Maggie died,
he just fell apart.

Stopped working.

I scaled back, that's all.

You went on sick
leave for months.

It's been a nightmare.

We've lost all our savings
just trying to keep afloat.

The school we wanted
to send our kids to

we can't afford now.

He's the earner.

I'm only a sales rep.

I do my bit.

At work today, were you?

Cheers.

So you've loved and
lost as well, then?

When did Mary die?

Nine years ago.

She'd been ill a long time.

A car accident.

That's hard.

How long were you together?

- We still are.
- Yes.

That's how it is when
you find your one, isn't it?

For ever.

You can't look at anyone else.

That's how it was with
me and my Maggie.

I was 68 when I met her.

I came here, I thought
my life was over,

but it was just beginning.

I'd found my one.

My good friend, my life.

[Sombre music]

You're so lucky.

Having a child to
treasure, as well.

God, I envy you that.

What?

Your son, Gerry.

Oh, yes, of course.

Gerry's always been
a great comfort to me.

What father wouldn't be
proud to have a son like that?

He's settling in, getting
to know everyone.

He reckons that Maggie's
Leonard is a bit of a ladies' man.

Yeah, I can see that.

My mother liked
him after 30 seconds.

And there's another
resident there, pru,

who Jack reckons is
holding a torch for Leonard.

Ah, straightforward
jealousy, then.

Could be, couldn't it?

As it happens, my old mum
always said she'd kill for dad.

Maybe that was "swing for him".

If he was anything like
you, then it probably was.

Bye.

I liked who after 30 seconds?

[Soft music]

If dad had been in
love with someone else,

what would you have done?

I'd have faded into
the background,

hoping that one day she'd notice

her other parent loved her too.

[Soft music]

[Kelly] Get off me!

I'm warning you, just stay away.

Do you hear?

Next time I'll call the police.

You do and I'll stab
you, you piece of shit.

Drug addicts.

They try and steal people's
medicines, valuables.

Don't worry.

They won't get in
here with me around.

Good night.

[Door knocking]

Yes? Who is it?

Just checking you're okay.

I'm fine, thank you.

Ring the buzzer if you need me.

I've got a pass key so
I can come straight in.

Right.

- Night, mr halford.
- Good night.

Gerry, they've taken the
bait, the mobile's gone.

Dunno.

Could be a young
girl, drug addict.

Did he give a description?

Grungy-looking teenager.

Apparently they hang
around there all the time.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Are we ready to go tracking
down this phone, then?

Yeah.

Only, drive slowly
because I'll be riding Matilda.

She needs a good workout.

Matilda's the bike, right?

I do hope so, I've just
had my seats cleaned.

[Bicycle brake locks creaking]

Tell you what, I'll get
you some oil for that.

On the house.

Oil for my brake blocks?

What bloody good's
that gonna do?

Hello, Billy.

How's business?

I pay my vat.

No, the other one.

The none-vat one.

Where you receive stolen
goods from drug addicts

and sell them on for a profit.

That's slander, that is.

I'm a respectable businessman.

So you won't mind if we have
a look round then, will you?

You won't mind showing
me a warrant first, will you?

Do you know what
a tracer is, Billy?

You put them in phones and
find out where they end up.

There are no phones
in here except this one,

and it's bought and paid for.

What's the ringtone on that?

Only ours, the one we bugged,
does "we are the champions".

[Phone rings]

♪ We are the champions! ♪

♪ We are the
champions of the world ♪

Bollocks.

No. No, that's not her.

No.

He got the phone off a
junkie prostitute called Kelly.

She brings him loads
of stuff, apparently.

Mostly jewellery.

Old people's things, he said.

What about Maggie's
engagement ring?

Nah.

We showed him the
photo, he didn't recognise it.

He's admitted everything else.

If she did Nick the ring,
she didn't flog it to him.

[Billy] Yeah, that's her.

We've got an ID.

Her name's Kelly meadows.

Meadows?

Isn't that the manager's name?

Could just be a coincidence.

We need to get Dougie
in to arrest her and then...

Oh, Christ.

Quick, get Billy in my office.

Close the blinds, quick!

Thank you.

Mum, what are you doing here?

I was feeling so lonely.

I thought I'd come and
see where you worked.

I didn't think you'd mind.

You should know better,
this is a police station.

You can't just come and
visit when you feel like it.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's all right. I've
explained the situation.

Although, given
the circumstances,

I thought you might like to
see to her safe return yourself.

I'd like to sit
down for a minute.

I feel a bit dizzy.

Perhaps a little water?

Yes, of course.

Allow me.

[Upbeat music]

Co-operate.

-Don't you start- -shut up.

I have shut up.

- Bastards.
- Don't!

[Upbeat music]

Seems rather empty here.

Where is everyone?

Out.

Interviewing witnesses.

We wanna to make
sure we have a solid case.

I thought the Gillespie
matter was nearly solved,

just a question of forensics.

Still waiting for confirmation.

Well, it's a good thing he's
in jail on another charge.

He'd have fled
the country by now.

You make a very handsome couple,

if you don't mind my saying.

Is there a mrs strickland?

Erm... no, sadly.

I'm divorced.

Oh, that is sad.

Any children?

Okay, that's enough.

I've gotta get my mother home.

Anything else, sir?

No. Carry on.

Mrs Pullman.

Mum!

Hi, could I have a taxi
as soon as possible?

Hello, mrs p.

Gerry standing,
lovely to meet you.

- Hello.
- Hello, I'm Billy

come here.

Brian Lane.

Good luck with your ears.

Oh, thank you.

Right.

Cab's booked, I'll walk
you to the front desk.

You could at least
say thank you.

For what?

Saving the situation.

You're lying to your boss,
you're up to something.

Now that I've embarrassed
him into leaving,

he can't ask any more
awkward questions, can he?

And embarrassing
me in the process,

that was just the
icing, wasn't it?

Yes.

Gerry, I've found her.

She's touting in bartly street.

You wanna bring your car around?

[Soft music]

Fancy a little ride?

You've got to ask
me what you want first

or you might be a cop.

Me, a copper?

No!

He is a copper.

[Dougie groans]

[Upbeat music]

Not so daft now, is it?

[Upbeat music]

That's it Matilda,
just like the old days,

come on girl, lets get her.

[Upbeat music]

[Brian groans]

[Brian yells]

[Brian screaming]

- [Brian yells]
- [Kelly screams]

Get off me!

Get off me, you fat perv,

you're hurting my arm!

Get off!

What have you been doing now?

You should see the other bloke.

He tried to kill
me on that bike.

Look at my bruises!

We've all seen it.

It's okay, calm down.

How's Lance Armstrong?

Concussion, broken collar bone.

He'll be fine.

What's she saying?

She's admitted
stealing from the home.

Colin meadows is her dad,

and according to her, he helps.

Mostly with drugs, but
sometimes with valuables.

Including Maggie's ring?

No. She was cursing about that.

Wanted to know how
much it was worth.

Said she'd kill him if
he's kept it for himself.

If I didn't steal for her or
get her money for drugs

she'd be a prostitute,
and I couldn't bear that.

At least I stopped
her doing that.

How long have
you been doing this?

On and off about a year.

I've got a pass
key for the rooms

and a copy of Fiona's
key for the drugs cabinet,

it was easy.

[Sandra] So Maggie
newley wasn't a thief?

No, I just used that as a cover.

Oh, I stole from her as well.

Tramadol,

it's a morphine derivative.

It helped Kelly when she
couldn't get any heroin.

Did you also steal
Maggie newley's ring?

No.

I told you that was on her
finger when we found her,

then later it wasn't.

Someone must have taken it
from her when she was dead.

Yes.

Yeah, that's what you told me.

I didn't kill her.

All I took from Maggie
was her drugs, I swear.

I'd never have harmed her.

It was the one time my
daughter said she loved me.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Nor did I, but...

She said Maggie's
pills were the best,

which didn't make sense
because they were the same

as the ones I'd always
been getting for her

but she kept saying they
were wonderful, and...

Well, then, Maggie died.

I was more upset than anyone.

She was giving me
the one thing I wanted.

A happy daughter.

Tramadol.

It comes in three doses.

50mg, 100mg and 150mg.

They were probably
the 150 tablets.

But Maggie was prescribed 50mg,

so what was she doing with 150?

I don't know, but that
would explain why she od'd.

Esther.

150mg would be three times more

than her body could tolerate.

She was prescribed
these four times a day.

Triple the dosage
would kill her in no time.

Someone swapped the pills.

It looks that way

and it must have been someone
with access to the tramadol

with the higher dosage.

Two, please, and
then we're done.

It takes 17 muscles
to smile, mr halford,

and over 34 to scowl.

I like to keep fit.

[Nurse chuckles]

Yes, I'm being careful.

Which is more than
I can say for him.

What's he doing?

It's not as bad as it looks.

His bike committed suicide
and tried to take him with it.

So, basically, it's
just you and me now.

Oh, hold on.

We made a copy
of Colin's pass key,

thought it might come in handy.

Will it fit the nurse's office?

Yeah, should do, yeah.

Good, 'cause I want to
see the medical records.

What are you thinking?

Nurse fielding isn't the only
one with access to tramadol.

A lot of the residents
are prescribed it,

including pru Sanders,

and it may be at a
higher dose than Maggie's.

Which gives her both
the means and the motive.

Exactly.

Tell you what.

While I'm here,

why don't I get nursey
out of her office?

I'll give you a
shout as we go by,

then you can nip in
and have a look, eh?

This won't involve your
fabled powers of seduction,

will it?

If you don't use
it, you lose it.

[Door knocking]

Yes.

Hiya, I'm sorry to bother you

but there's a bit
of an emergency.

Oh?

It's dr Lane, my
dad's reiki therapist.

He's in a terrible state.

Can you have a
quick look at him?

Yes, of course.

I expect he's in favour of
chemical pain relief now.

Yeah.

Won't be a minute, dad.

[Upbeat music]

[Man] Excuse me.

Mr halford junior.

Gerry, please, Fiona.

Nurse fielding.

Where's dr Lane?
You said he was-

all right, I own up,

I told a little fib.

What?

I heard the music, saw
them all jiving and I thought,

"I really fancy a dance with
that lovely nurse fielding."

Have you been drinking?

Anyone with a pair
of pins like yours

can see off these old-timers.

Come on, let's show
'em how it's done, eh?

Mr halford, please.

Gerry, and it's my pleasure.

[Upbeat music]

[Printer buzzes]

Come on, come on.

[Upbeat music]

- Go on, girl.
- Swing it, sister.

[Dramatic music]

[Upbeat music]

[Crowd applauds]

Fantastic.

[Man] Bravo!

Nurse fielding, a star is born.

Oh, don't be so silly, Leonard.

May I?

That's quite enough.

Go on, you've got to
dance with the residents.

One more time!

- Last time.
- Shall we?

[Upbeat music]

I think she's broken my foot.

I've got to hand it to you,

I never thought
I would see that.

I'd dance with anyone
to this music, I love it.

Count basie, desi arnaz,

my dad used to
play it all the time.

And sing.

Good old crooner, my dad.

All the old
favourites, lili marleen,

"ev'ry time we say goodbye".

My Maggie used to love those.

He used to sing to my mum.

He'd get me to join
in now and again.

He had a great
voice, my old dad.

Let's put him on the spot.

I hear that you're
a great crooner.

What?

Um... er...

What's the matter?

Di hall.

Do you want to go and see him?

No, I don't.

Why should I?

Come on, dad, you know this one.

What?

This is "you made me love you".

You know that.

[Soft piano music]

[Machine beeps]

[Sombre music]

I just don't think she did it

and I wanna follow another lead.

What's the point?

Pru takes tramadol, 150mg.

Jack found the ring in her room.

Mind you, he left it there
so Dougie could find it.

Has she confessed?

Well, no.

But Jack's gonna
sit in on the interview,

try and coax it out of her.

Unless you wanna go?

No.

We're gonna do something else.

Come on.

It was wrong, I know.

Taking her ring
when she was dead.

But she never liked it.

Leonard chose it for her

and she was a bit
cross about that,

that he hadn't let her
choose the one she wanted.

Does he know you like him?

[Soft music]

He pretends not to,
it's easier that way.

I thought when Maggie died he
might find some comfort in me.

Even as a consolation prize.

But no.

I didn't kill her, Jack.

I took her ring, yes.

I liked wearing it in my room

and I could pretend
that he'd chosen me.

But I didn't kill her.

Maggie was my friend.

[Soft music]

We've arrested
someone from the home,

one of the residents.

So she was murdered.

I told you and I said it,
you never believed me.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Yes, thank you.

It's such a relief.

I can imagine.

When will we know who it was

and have you charged them yet?

Yes, someone has been charged,

although, at the moment,

only with the theft of
the engagement ring.

We're still gathering
evidence for the murder.

But we do now know
how it was done.

The person who killed Maggie

swapped the tramadol
pills in her cabinet

for those of a much
much higher dosage.

So it was someone with
access to tramadol in that form

who also had access to
the home and Maggie's room.

You are talking about the nurse?

Or someone who visited regularly

and knew the spare keys
were kept in the main office.

I've got to put my
mother into a home

and I can't believe the
cost of those places.

They're not for everyone.

No wonder you couldn't afford

to send your kids
to private school

while you were still
paying for Maggie.

Hell of a sacrifice, though.

You must have loved your
mother-in-law very much.

Yes. I did.

Didn't it strike you as
ironic when she died,

and you still couldn't
afford the fees

because of Daniel's breakdown?

But Daniel will get better
and go back to work full time

and then you will
be able to afford it.

As long as he never finds out

who really killed
Maggie, of course.

We're just stating facts.

Now, the company you
work for makes tramadol.

That is fact, right?

If you really wanna find out
who murdered your mother,

ask Kim.

She was killing us.

Couldn't you see that?

She'd had her life.

We're your family now.

Why couldn't we have come first?

Just once.

She was my mother.

Our kids are in a sink school

where there are knife
fights in the playground

and I can't give
them a better future

because grandma
needs somewhere to live?

She could have come
here, lived with us.

But, oh, no, she wanted
to stay in that home

with her precious Leonard.

And by the way,
could we fork out

for a top-of-the-range
wedding too?

I'll get uniform.

She died without pain.

I made sure of that.

She was happy and at peace
thinking everyone loved her.

Which I did, Daniel.

I did.

I just love my children more.

[Soft music]

It was just as we imagined.

What did you call them?

God's waiting room.

It was that all right.

Awful.

A mausoleum to the living dead.

People with all life
crushed out of them.

No, this is better.

This is where I belong.

[Soft music]

You can stay here for longer,
you know, there's no rush.

You don't have to move
into whitemead immediately.

You know what's
odd about this place?

No, but I'm sure you'll tell me.

There's no history of us.

No photos, I've checked.

I've been through every
room, even your bedroom.

You went into my bedroom?

Not even one of your father.

Now that did surprise me.

I thought you'd have
one of him, for sure.

I've never understood that.

That ability to be alone.

That pride in your independence,
that shuts everyone out.

Even your own family.

I had hoped when he died
that we'd grow closer together

but we've just
moved further apart.

Until, in the end, you were him.

Another police officer
rejecting me all over again.

I am trying, mum.

I know.

But we're too far apart
to keep living this close.

You can come and
visit me when you want.

Yeah, yeah, I will.

I promise.

You're not folding that right.
