You've met Olivia before?

Yeah, yeah, we've worked
together a few times actually.

Hi, Sandra. Hi, Olivia.

Apologies in advance
for the state of the office.

My pathology days are numbered.

I'm taking early
retirement. Really, why?

Well, I always said once I was spending more time
at my desk than in the lab it was time to go.

Mobile rings excuse me. Sorry.

She disconnects call go on.

I've been trying to clear up some
unfinished business before they turf me out

and I came across something I thought might have
an impact on a case that Robert is overseeing.

The serial rapist
operating in east London.

The women who were attacked in
their cars? I heard you had a suspect.

Yeah, we had a good
suspect. Anthony gunnell.

But not enough evidence for
the cps to take it any further.

The main problem is none of
the victims remember the attacks.

Mobile rings

the rapes were drug rapes.

All the women attacked worked shifts.
They were all raped in the early hours.

The last thing any
of them remember

is stopping to buy coffee
at a mobile snack Van.

And guess what Anthony
gunnell does for a living?

So, the women drive
away with their coffee to go.

They all remember feeling unsafe to
drive, so they wind down the window,

but they can't keep their eyes open.
So what does gunnell put in the coffee?

Temazepam, very
effective in the right dose.

Mobile rings

sorry.

And gunnell is the
common denominator?

And it seems that being caught
once taught gunnell to be very careful.

Of course, he has
previous. Attempted rape.

Isn't this case active?

Because if it is, I can't really
see how ucos can get involved.

What you'd be
looking at is a murder.

Kathy green,
market stall holder.

Found dead in her Van at
6am, February 7th, 2009,

six months before the first
rape victim came forward.

I performed the autopsy and determined the COD
to be respiratory arrest due to drug overdose.

The stomach contents
were coffee and sleeping pills.

Obviously a killing
doesn't fit gunnell's pattern,

but one of the items found in the Van
was a lid of a polystyrene takeaway cup.

She bought the coffee in the early
hours on her way to work. It fits.

I can see the logic,
but... Mobile rings

Sandra, do you
need to take that?

Yes, unfortunately, I do. Sorry.

I'm on my way!

I thought I was picking
you up at the station.

So did I. Mum, you're early.

I am not. You are, actually,
because you said to me...

Sandra, I'd really prefer that we didn't
start this week with a row on your doorstep.

Right, thank you very much.

"Week"?

♪ It's all right, it's ok

♪ doesn't really matter
if you're old and grey

♪ it's all right, I say, it's ok

♪ listen to what I say

♪ it's all right, doing fine

♪ doesn't really matter
if the sun don't shine

♪ it's all right, I say, it's ok

♪ we're getting to
the end of the day. ♪

Sorry. Sorry I'm late.

Well, that's just
not good enough.

It's not only your time
you're wasting, you know.

So, how is your mother?

Same as ever.

Anyway, shall we get on?

Have you managed to take a look?

Yeah. Can I make
sure I've got this right?

We're not investigating
the rapes. Not really. No.

We can't go near gunnell?

No point. He doesn't cooperate with the
police, and, since the rape investigation,

his lawyers are using words
like "harassment" and "lawsuit".

So, officially, what
are we investigating?

The suspicious death of Kathy
green, who died early in the morning

on her way to work after
drinking takeaway coffee.

Do we mean "suspicious", or simply
unexplained? How do you mean?

Well, it's a big leap from "accidentally
took too many sleeping tablets"

to "murdered by
a sexual predator".

How could she accidentally take
pills she didn't have a prescription for,

neither did anyone
in her family?

A prescription is not the
only way to get temazepam.

It has a street value. Maybe
she took them recreationally?

Or suicidally? No suicide note.

No history of depression.

No history of drug abuse.

No sign of sexual assault, and gunnell is a rapist
not a murderer. Which is why operation sapphire

haven't included her
death in their investigation.

I've been thinking about that.

What if he didn't
mean to kill her?

What if it was
manslaughter not murder?

If she was his victim, she would
have been one of the early ones -

he'd only been out of prison a couple
of months and been a vendor for a week.

So maybe he hadn't worked out

how much of the drug to put in
the coffee and added too much?

Yeah, maybe.

So, how do we investigate
without investigating?

Cook street market.
Notorious in my day.

The only market in London where you could buy half a
pound of mince and hardcore porn from the same stall.

Morning. How lovely(!)

Manchego? Oh,
thank you. Very nice.

That's very kind of you.

Would you like a cracker and
a glass of wine to go with that?

Oh, that's a thought.
Chablis maybe?

Don't be silly. Listen. I'd like you
two to go and speak to Kevin baxton,

the market inspector, and anyone else who
was around on the morning that Kathy died.

What are we doing?
Got to talk to the Greens.

No, you're not allowed dairy.

The Greens are greengrocers.

So, this must be
mr bun the baker?

Get your caulis. Two for
£1 now. Two for £1 caulis!

Mr green? Billy green? In a
minute, love. There's a queue.

Yeah, I'm not here for fruit.
I'd like a word about your wife.

She's with her mum, love.

No longer with us. I know. That's
why I need to have a word with you.

Dad? It's all right, son.

Get back to work. I'm not
taking them caulis home.

Cheers, love. Round the back?

Cheers.

I thought it was all
done and dusted?

Why are you going
over it all again?

We tie up loose ends.
It's what we do. Right.

You must have some
questions you want answering?

Well, yeah. I lost my
wife. My son lost his mum.

And just after Elsie
had died. Elsie?

Kathy's mother.

She had dementia.
I'm sorry to hear that.

That's why Kathy decided
she ought to move in with us.

So we could keep an eye on her.

That must have been tough.
Of course, "we" meant Kathy.

In the end it became
a full-time job.

Luckily, David had finished at school, so
he could come down and help me on the stall.

Looks like there's been a few changes around
here. Yeah, we're all hummus these days.

Thanks to Kathy.

This place was all set to be closed
down and sold three years ago.

You say, "thanks to Kathy."
Why, what did she do?

Everything. Started up a
petition, talked to the press.

She never liked
to let things lie.

Sort them out, take them on.
Sounds like a lovely woman.

Yeah, that's cos she was.

The best.

That's why I can't
get me head around it.

Cos that's what
you're saying, isn't it?

What do you mean?
You know who killed her?

Who? Who killed my mum?

This is an apricot galette.

The chef who made it was
trained in Paris. Cordon bleu.

Do they do sausage rolls?

You're such a peasant. Anyway,
while you were stuffing your face,

I've been talking
to stallholders. And?

Some were there when Kathy's
body was found, but none of them

remember anyone answering
gunnell's description hanging around.

Mind you, it was a winter's
morning, so it was dark.

Yeah. Hold that. Oi! Oi!

Get that off my car.

I said, get it off, now! If you didn't want
to be clamped, you shouldn't have parked here.

Listen, you doughnut, I'm with
the police on an investigation.

Fine. Then you won't mind
showing me your warrant card.

No, I don't... I'm not actually
a serving officer any more.

Oh, I see. We're
with the special unit...

Hold on, hold on.

When you say "special", do
you mean imaginary? Clamp it.

Oi!

Did Kathy have a
regular route to work?

Yeah, she'd have stopped off at the
suppliers. And where would they be?

Bermondsey. She'd have picked
up the stock and come here.

She liked to set up on her own on
Saturdays. We would come down later.

Would she ever
stop for a coffee?

There's usually a Van here, but it takes
them a while to get set up in the mornings.

If she was desperate for a brew she'd have stopped
somewhere on the way. Does she have a regular stop?

Not really.

Wherever she could park the Van.
What about a roadside snack Van?

Is that how this guy operated?

What, waited at cafes and that?

We're talking about my wife
here. Yes, I know and I'm sorry.

David! David!

Great, you've set him off now.

Probably be lucky to get a
word out of him this week.

He's certainly got a temper.

He's a teenager, that's all he's
bloody got. If you don't mind...

One thing. The tablets that
were found in Kathy's system.

Any idea where they
might have come from?

No, we never had anything like
that around the house. Really?

What? You don't believe me?

No, just that with you having your mother-in-law
at home there must have been tablets around.

Yeah, if you shook Elsie, she'd have rattled.
But they said they were the wrong kind.

Is there anyone we
could speak to about that?

It was Helen gilder,

the nurse they sent.

She was a godsend.

Who do you think you are?

Kevin baxton, market inspector.

Look... I actually have
some identification.

So do I, in the office. Look, come
talk to my detective superintendent.

She'll vouch for me.

That's a good idea. But maybe she should have
spoken to me before you all turned up in my market.

Your market? I should be informed of any
investigation going on in these premises.

You'll be informed of your rights and taken
down the station in a minute. On what charges?

Impersonating a human being!

You are everything that
is wrong with this country.

Jumped up little sods who
think they rule the bloody world.

Applause

oi! I'm talking to you.

I beg to differ.

Then perhaps you'll talk to
me in a professional capacity.

See?

You were the last person to see
Kathy alive? Well, I saw her Van arrive.

She was the first person
at the market, as usual.

How long before
anyone else arrived?

About half an hour, 20 minutes.

I was too busy to give you an
exact time. Busy doing what?

My duties.

Making sure the
refuse areas were clean,

that nobody had selfishly
parked in the loading areas.

Basically, I ensure the market is safe and
clean for the traders and the customers.

So, you were doing your rounds
when you found Kathy's body?

I thought she was asleep in
the front seat of her Van at first.

That's against the
rules as well, is it(?)

It is, actually. But that's not
why I knocked on her window.

I knew she'd been
having domestic issues.

Her mother had recently died. I wanted
to make sure she was ok. But she wasn't.

I opened the door and she fell to
the ground. She wasn't breathing.

Someone else must have called the ambulance
cos I was trying to administer cpr.

But, of course, it was too late.

What happened then?

I had the Van moved.

Did you notice anyone hanging
around, anyone you didn't recognise?

It's a public market.

Look, I'm sorry.

You can talk to the
traders if you like.

We already have, and I
have to say, mr baxton,

you don't seem to have a
lot of fans out on the market.

Well, people like the idea of
rules until they have to live by them.

Have you noticed how apples
don't taste of anything any more?

Well, they've had
it bred out of them.

All they want is something that looks
good in a fruit bowl and won't go off.

They've sacrificed
flavour for shelf life.

Well, that tasted all right.
You know, like a banana.

Yeah, but think of your food miles.
I rarely think of anything else(!)

So, Kathy could have
visited gunnell's coffee Van.

Or she could gone
somewhere entirely different.

And there was nobody
around Kathy's Van at the time.

I might be able to extrapolate
the route that she took to work.

See if it took her
anywhere near gunnell.

I think we should talk to
Elsie's nurse, Helen gilder.

Double check the medication
in the green household.

Rule out the possibility
of an accidental overdose.

Yeah, but it's not easy to
take sleeping pills accidentally.

You can hardly mistake them for vitamins
pills. I'm just saying keep an open mind.

We all want gunnell off the street, but for
the right reason. Anyone else with a motive?

I doubt it. Sounds like
she walked on water.

Well, she did save the market. That's a hell
of a lot of livelihoods. What about the family?

Her husband made
all the right noises.

The son is a bit of a
handful. Bad temper.

A deliberate overdose though? That's an act of
premeditation, not teenage temper. Yeah, that's sneaky.

Got to be a right snake.
Got anyone in mind, Gerry?

Well, Kevin
baxton fits the bill.

Jack laughs

I'm not being funny!

He says he found
the body, right.

Now, they were in that market 20
minutes before the next trader came in.

He had easily enough time
to make her a cup of coffee.

Yeah, I suppose.
One question though.

How much did it cost
you to get unclamped?

A hundred quid.

But that's not the point. It's
not the money, it's the principle!

Careful, you're foaming
at the mouth again.

All I'm saying is I can't imagine
a little control freak like him

would have liked Kathy
interfering in his market.

And I bet you any
money he's got previous.

Nah, didn't strike
me as the type.

He's all about rules. Yeah, but maybe
he just thinks he's above the law?

Fine! Pull his record and
take a look. With pleasure.

And that's it for
the time being.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gerry, I'm warning you.

I don't want a police harassment complaint
on my desk. I don't need the paperwork.

Yeah, yeah. Jack laughs

oh, you're back, are you?

Yes, mother. I was beginning
to wonder where you were.

At work. Where else would I be?

Indeed. I thought you were going to
take some time off whilst I was here?

I said I'd try.
Well, I've cooked.

Thank you.

And it's ruined.

And I don't know what
else we're going to have.

Sandra, I'm amazed
that you don't have scurvy.

You do know that you're allowed
to keep food in your fridge?

Vegetables, even! Wine doesn't
count as one of your five a day.

Excellent idea.

It would be nice if we could actually plan
to do something together whilst I'm here.

We should at least try and spend
some time in each other's company.

Come in. Thank you.

Kathy?

That was an awful shame.

She was a lovely woman.

She really cared
about her mother.

Look, we don't want
to disturb this lady.

Oh, mrs Myers won't mind.

Will you, darling?

Still, perhaps we could...

Oh.

Ok.

Will she be all right?
Yeah, she's as good as gold.

Come this way.

Do you know how Kathy died?

Overdose. It was
sleeping pills, wasn't it?

Any idea how she might
have come by the drug?

It wasn't prescribed for her.

Or for Elsie. A woman in her
state doesn't need sleeping pills.

It's what they do best when
they're getting near the end. Sleep.

So, you'd never seen any at the Greens'
house? Doesn't mean they weren't there.

People cope in different
ways. What are you saying?

Kathy was a swan.

Serene on the surface, but under
the water she was paddling like mad.

Maybe she needed something
to help her stay afloat.

Was there something
else going on?

With the family? When someone's
on their way out, it brings things up.

Things that were
never said. You know?

What was it that
Kathy wanted to say?

On the night that Elsie died,

Kathy and I stayed up
until the early hours, waiting.

Kathy talked about her mum

and her childhood.

Elsie had been quite
strict, apparently.

And Kathy had rebelled a bit.

When Kathy was
19, she got pregnant.

She had a little girl and
gave her up for adoption.

Anyway, the daughter had
been trying to get in touch,

but with Elsie and
everything else...

Kathy just couldn't cope.

And she couldn't talk to Billy
about it. It was tearing her up.

After Elsie died, do you know if
Kathy met up with her daughter?

No, I've no idea. It was the only
time Kathy ever talked about it.

But I did wonder how
it turned out, you know.

And then I heard Kathy was dead.

God, that was awful news to come
home to. Where had you been?

Benalmadena.

In Spain. I was on one
of my trips to the chemist.

Couldn't you find
one a bit closer?

Not one that will give my
old dears what they need.

There's lots of drugs that can
make geriatric patients' lives

a lot easier, but doctors
won't prescribe them.

Too expensive? Well, why would
you want to waste nhs resources

on those that have been
paying their stamp all their lives(?)

So, I worked out that,
with the right eu forms,

a charabanc and a friendly Spanish doctor, I
could get my ladies and gentlemen what they need.

That's brilliant.
But is it legal?

Oh, no, it's all above board.

As long as they only bring back what
they've had prescribed for themselves.

So, obviously, that means the
old dears have to come to Spain.

So, they have to be fit to travel. But them that
can make the journey, they have a right old time.

Well, it's nice to know someone's
prepared to put themselves out.

Well, that's what
nurses do, don't they?

The hard work that doctors
won't dirty their hands with.

Speaking of which, it's
bath time for mrs Myers.

So, unless you'd like to give
me a hand? We'll leave you to it.

I told you there was something
weird about that bloke.

What bloke? Kevin baxton.

Is there a history of violence?

He's got a history of violence
being done to him. What?

This guy's been involved in 13
different assault cases in 15 years.

Listen, common assault, aggravated
assault, abh and a nasty gbh.

This bloke has been punched, kicked,
slapped... He's even had a car driven at him.

That'll be the gbh. He really
knows how to get up people's noses.

He probably made a profit
from it and all. Of course.

Eh? He'll have some ambulance
chasing solicitor on speed dial.

Where there's blame...

And you came very close to sticking one on him.
Good job I didn't. But you see what I mean.

It's not right! It's
not illegal either.

If people are crazy enough to resort to
violence over where they park their car...

We should take a look at him. Harassing someone
who enjoys their day in court is stupid!

So unless it's actually relevant to
the case, Gerry, leave him alone.

Brian? What have you been up to? The stuff's come
through from highways, I'm wading through it.

Anything? Well, the good thing
about gunnell driving through London

is that big brother was
keeping an eye on him.

He worked every morning that week, including
the Saturday. But it's still not enough.

It wasn't enough for the original
team, and it's not enough for us.

So how did you get on with nurse
Helen? Oh, yeah, was she a naughty nurse?

Not in the way your
filthy mind is thinking.

I don't think getting geriatrics
medical help is naughty.

I think it's bloody heroic.

It's dangerous. She doesn't even
know what she's bringing back.

They go to the costa del sol, not
Columbia! It's all on prescription.

And she's right, when people get to a
certain age, doctors just fob them off.

Ain't that the truth! You've no
idea. Oh, god, I've set 'em off.

You go to the doctor's these days and the
first thing he looks at is your date of birth.

And then they all say the same thing.
"Oh, it's all you can expect at your age".

You know, you could go to my gp with a mild case of
ebola and he'd still say it was down to your age.

Before we all throw
ourselves on the scrap-heap,

perhaps you'd like to find out more
about Kathy's long lost baby daughter?

Sandra.

What the hell is she doing here?

Thank you. Morning.

Morning, sir.

Mum?

To what do we owe the pleasure?

Well, if the mountain
won't come to Mohammed...

I was just telling mr strickland he really needs to
do something about that ignorant child on the desk.

He wasn't going to let me through. You mean
the constable who was just doing his job?

Luckily, there are still some
gentlemen in the police force.

Well, it was either escort you through or have you
arrested for verbally abusing one of my officers.

I was just trying to teach him some manners.
Sandra, could I have a word, please?

Yes, of course, sir. Jack?

Grace? Can I interest
you in a cup of tea?

I'm so sorry about her.

Oh, don't be. She's delightful.

And you have excellent manners.

I was wondering whether you'd
had any luck with your new case?

Yeah, actually we've uncovered a
couple of interesting lines of enquiry.

Excellent. It goes without saying,
as soon as you have anything

we can add to the gunnell
file and take to the cps...

I didn't say the lines of enquiry are
anything to do with Anthony gunnell. I see.

Look, sir, I know how you
want this case to turn out,

but I still need to do a
thorough investigation.

I wasn't suggesting otherwise,
Sandra. Not for one moment.

Of course not.

In fact, I rather
resent the implication.

Then I apologise.

Keep me informed
of any developments.

Sir.

Indistinct speech

So, mum. Not that it isn't lovely
to see you, but why are you here?

Oh, I knew you'd forget. Lunch?

I made a reservation at that
place, I was telling you this morning.

Yep, as I was
walking out the door.

Well, all I've seen of you so
far is the back of your head.

Well, I'm afraid I can't
leave now, it's too early.

Then I'll wait.
That's not an option.

Well, how am I supposed to get
back? How did you get here? Bus.

Grace, why don't I
give you a lift home?

Oh. Thank you.

There you are. Thank you.

You're welcome. Well, I'm sure
my daughter will be very grateful too.

She is very busy.

Yes, I know. She tells me
every time I speak to her.

She's busied herself out of everything
- a relationship, a family, a life.

She seems pretty happy to me.

Well, you're not
her mother, are you?

He mouths

anyway, thank you. Bye.

Bye.

How was she?

Thank you.

Ah, I've found her. Megan fellows, born homerton
hospital maternity unit on the 17th may 1991.

Mother registered
as Katherine sutcliffe,

later to become Kathy
green when she marries Billy.

Well done. Homerton
hospital? That's hackney, isn't it?

That's what I was thinking. One hell of a
tube journey when you're about to give birth.

Maybe she wasn't at home
when she went into labour.

Is there a father registered
on the birth certificate?

No, but I have the last known contact details
for the adoptive parents, mr and mrs fellows.

Good. Call them.

Ohh! What's rattling your cage?

This is an exercise in futility.

I've gone over all the evidence the sexual
assault squad had on gunnell's movements. And?

And usually I'd
expect to find a slip up.

A pattern no-one else can see.

We know. Because that's the
weird way your brain is wired.

Yes, well, this time, nothing.

They've done well with the evidence they've
managed to get, but there's not enough.

The cps was right then.

I gives me no pleasure
to say so, but yes.

And the kind of person who
could plan something like this is

exactly the kind of person
we should be putting away.

Of course, I can see how
that would be upsetting, yeah.

But sadly, that's the
kids of today, isn't it?

Yeah.

You haven't any idea where
she might work, have you?

You have?

Hi.

Welcome to clucky's
chicken. How can I help you?

We're looking for Megan fellows.

Who sent you?

Detective superintendent Pullman,
this is Jack halford from ucos.

We'd like to speak to you
about your birth mother.

What?

What's wrong?

So, why didn't
anybody tell me before?

Did you not think I
might like to be informed?

No, I don't suppose
you bloody did, did ya?

You're not supposed to smoke in
here. Are you going to arrest me?

Believe me, this is better than what
you're already breathing in in this place.

Ok.

Why don't you tell us
what happened with Kathy?

I'd wanted to get
in touch for ages.

Mum and dad had told me from
the off that I wasn't really theirs.

They had two kids before they
got me. I was their charity case.

They only got me to look
good in front of their friends.

I'm sure that's not true. It is.

I was their little project.

And when it didn't go to plan,
when I didn't like their posh school

or the stuff they bought me, they called me
ungrateful and that I didn't know how lucky I was.

That's when I told them I
wanted to find my real mum.

But they told me I had
to wait until I was 18.

And then...

When you were old enough?

I wrote a letter. And another.

She just ignored me. Not a word.

So, I thought, bollocks to this.

I found out where she
was and I went to see her.

Just knocked on her bloody door.

Her kid answered.

David? Oh, is that his name?

What happened?

I told him he had a new
sister and I invited myself in.

Then mummy dearest comes
to see what's going on, and...

I finally get to meet her.

And the reunion wasn't
exactly what you'd hoped for?

All I wanted was an explanation!

Why she gave me away!

What was so wrong with me?

Well, she was only
19 when she had you.

So? I'm not much
older and I couldn't do it.

And even if I did, I might
find five minutes for my kid

if she came looking for me.

Her mother had just died.

And how the hell was I
supposed to know that?

But it's all right.

I've got the message now.

She's gone.

I better open up.

Them spicy wedges won't put
themselves in the fryer, will they?

Mum, listen.

I'm sorry about earlier.

Hiya, sorry I'm a bit late, I've
been down at social services

and had a look at Megan's file.

I can guess what's in that without
looking at it. Didn't do well at school,

in and out of trouble when she was
there and left as soon as she could?

That's pretty much it except
I've solved the hackney mystery.

When Kathy became pregnant
she moved in with her sister.

Great. Text me the address.
Jack, let's go. Come on, Brian!

Seek and ye shall find!

David, get these
tables. Morning.

Look, I'm not being funny
but we're late setting up. Dad.

Like I said, we really
haven't got the time.

This shouldn't take long. I just wanted to ask
if Kathy ever mentioned a Megan fellows to you.

Why? What's she got to do with
all this? You know who she is?

She's nothing to do
with me. Or Kathy.

She's Kathy's daughter. So?

Kathy's long-lost daughter who
got in touch just a few weeks before

she died and yet you didn't think it
was important enough to mention.

Look, I didn't know
what to think, all right?

I'd only just found out.
When did she tell you?

She didn't! He did.

Kathy wasn't going to tell me anything
- that she'd been to the house, nothing!

He couldn't
bloody wait to stir it.

It wasn't like that. Shut
up and get on with it!

Well, perhaps she was
worried how you might react.

Look, I've been
married nearly 20 years.

I thought I knew
everything about my wife.

Because she knew everything
about me. No secrets left.

So it was hard to take, something
like that coming into your life.

And he was in a state about it.

I wasn't. I was just
surprised. Oh, yeah?

That's why you did one
of your disappearing acts.

Had me and your mum
out looking for you all night.

Think that's what she needed?

With your nan just
dead... Selfish little sod.

Anything else you
want to drag up?

Anything else you
need to tell us? No!

I do hope that is the case.

Megan found her?

She actually got to meet her?

I don't think the
reunion went well.

Oh, god, poor Kathy!

I think it was fairly
hard on Megan, actually.

Oh, yeah, of course it was.

Look, you don't understand...

Meeting Megan again was
something that my sister had wanted

ever since...

Since she'd had
to give her away.

You make it sound like she didn't have a choice.
Yeah, my mother didn't give her any choice.

Kathy was six months gone when
she told us what was going on.

I think she'd waited
until it was too late

for mum to drag her down
to a clinic or something.

She knew how that
old cow would react.

You didn't have a great
relationship with your mother?

I hated her. I know you're
not supposed to say that,

especially after
they've gone and died.

But she was a terrible mum.

No, I got out as
soon as I could.

And Kathy?

She always did have an
over-developed sense of duty.

But that baby was her way out.

She came to me for
the last three months,

and I really thought she
was going to make a go of it.

It wasn't going to be easy,
but I was going to help her.

Look...

Look at her.

She was in love
with that little girl.

And yet, she still put
her up for adoption?

I told you, mum made her.

Mum turned up at the hospital.

I thought maybe she was
there to make things all right.

She wasn't?

She was there to tell Kathy
how hard it was going to be.

How she was too young and
too stupid to be a good mum.

How the best thing she could do for her kid was
to give her away to someone who really wanted her.

But Kathy wanted her. Look.

That wasn't the case
18 years later though.

Have you any idea how hard
it was for Kathy with mum?

I couldn't help her. Why not?

Well, because every time I went
in the house, mum went potty.

It was just awful.

Billy, well, of course,

he was next to bloody useless.

You don't get on
with him either?

Kathy was always a martyr.

She went from a mum who
treated her like crap to him.

When you say he treated her
badly, do you mean he was violent?

No! I'd have done a bobbit

if he'd laid a
finger on my sister.

Actually, maybe I
should have done.

Why?

Because he couldn't
keep it in his pants.

Ask him where he was
the night my mother died.

Thank you very much. I hope
this wasn't too difficult for you.

It's all right. I'd rather
you heard the truth.

There's just one thing. Megan.

You've met her? Yeah.

Is she all right? Is
she... is she happy?

Well, she has a few issues that
she needs to work out for herself.

Thank you. Bye-bye.
Is she working?

At school?

I'm sorry, we're not allowed to
give you any more details. Goodbye.

Try David.

Sandra, I wondered
if we could have a...

Of course. Excuse me, sir.

I wanted to apologise for
the way I spoke to you earlier.

You didn't deserve that.

Thank you, sir.

I appreciate that I brought this case to
you with an agenda and it's a testament

to your professionalism that you've investigated
it so thoroughly and with such an open mind.

Again, thank you. I would also completely understand
if you wished to call it a day on the case.

I won't be doing that. Right.

Look, sir, I'm as disappointed as you that
this isn't leading us where we want to go.

Data. That's all I
need. More data.

And, as you can see,
I'm not the only one.

But we have moved a
bloody big rock with this.

And we're having a good look
at what's squirming underneath it.

Every family has secrets.

That's true. But not all of them have a
suspicious unexplained death to show for them.

Well, all I can say is
carry on. Of course,

we're not the only ones
who'll feel the disappointment.

Let Olivia know.

Unbelievable!

Can we talk?

You do know I have to earn a
living? David calmed down, has he?

He needs a firm hand.
Kathy spoilt him rotten.

Let him get away with too much.

Just like she let you
get away with stuff?

We've talked to her sister.

Oh, I can imagine
what Jean said.

Bad boy Billy? She suggested that at the time
of Elsie's death you were having an affair.

Were you still seeing
someone when Kathy died?

For a start, it
wasn't an affair.

It was just... A bit on the
side. Oh, that's all right then(!)

I know it makes me sound a bit of a prat, but it
was tough having a sick, old woman around the house.

I needed to get away,
take my mind off it.

It was just a bunk up. And
not the first one, apparently?

But anyway, you haven't
answered my first question.

Were you seeing
someone when Kathy died?

No, it was over by then. And
the woman, she'd confirm that?

Her husband will. He came
home early one afternoon.

So then you went back to Kathy?

I never left her!

And she always
forgave me. She knew?

Kathy understood.

She understood you
and you still slept around?

Have you ever been married?

It's how it works.

You accept things about people.

Just like you
accepted Kathy's past.

What are you trying to say
about me? You think I killed her?

It wasn't my dad! You can't just
say things like that, you stupid cow!

David! No! She can't say
things like that about my family!

You should just calm down. Shut up!
That's enough, David. It's all right, son.

David!

Davey! David!

Oh, great, that's the big one.

Moment you lot turned up, I
knew we were in for a tantrum.

He'll probably be gone for three
days! Thanks. Thanks a lot(!)

I'd like all the names of the women
you've had affairs with, please, mr green.

What? Mr green?

We need to talk about your late
start this morning. What? Now?

Been waiting for the right moment all day, have
we? Actually, this does seem a bit insensitive...

And I haven't finished yet.
It's ok, this'll not take long.

Don't you dare! What's he doing?

He's screwing me
over, that's what.

I'm warning you.

Three weeks? You're
suspending me for three weeks?

If you break the rules...

I'll break something!
Billy! Billy! Oof!

You really shouldn't
have done that.

Where's the boss? Custody suite.

We've made an arrest?

Not the big one. Billy green's
assaulted Kevin baxton.

You were right about him, Gerry. He knows when
to push the button and he's bloody good at it.

I've been ringing around
about our friend Kevin baxton.

All the assaults
happened at the workplace.

Yeah, but we knew that. All was
for the same employer - the council.

In the past ten years, he's gone from
one council job to another council job.

And, according to a couple of past
employers, he got the jobs because

he came with a
ringing endorsement.

Well, he had good references.

No, but from the same person. The
bent ex-councillor Steven coterell.

Baxton's worked at cook
street for three years.

Now, before that, the longest
he ever managed to keep a job

was six months before someone
chinned him and he moved on.

But because of his friend who was then in high
places, he landed on his feet. What do you think?

I don't know, I haven't
quite put it together yet.

Ah, sir. Mr green is currently
contemplating his rash actions in a cell.

You'll be over the moon to hear his victim has
already secured his own legal representation.

I told you he was professional.

His legal team... team?

His legal team will be contacting
you and Sandra to get your statements.

Two coppers? Billy could
have chosen better witnesses.

And what if I didn't
see anything?

And what if I pretend you
didn't just say that, Jack?

When a call comes in from caine,
Wright and Johns, you will take it.

I'll make sure he does, sir.

Glad to hear it.

Well, that's going to be fun.

Chatting to an ambulance
chaser in a shiny suit(!)

I think that shiny suit
might be savile row.

Caine, Wright and
Johns are a very big outfit.

They do all the
big property deals.

Then how can he afford it?

I was right about him.

You're early. Manage to get out
without waking her up, did you?

I don't know what you're talking
about. Are you making me one?

Don't think you'll have time
to drink it. You've got a visitor.

Megan. What's she doing here?
Shouting at the front desk, mainly.

They've put her in an
interview room to calm her down.

Great(!)

Megan.

I thought you were a copper,
not a bloody social worker.

Sorry? So you should be.

Cos it's not your job, is it? Bringing
long lost relatives back together.

I have no idea what you're talking
about. Auntie Jean turned up.

And it was you who told her how
to find me, wasn't it? Absolutely not!

But there she was.

Well, doesn't that
tell you something?

I told you. I don't
need this shit.

I don't need her and I
don't need anyone else.

And I don't need Kathy
green's bloody letters!

Letters she wrote
and never sent.

Now, without the
histrionics and bad language,

why don't you just tell
me what happened?

Auntie Jean,

that's actually what
she asked me to call her.

She tried telling me how
much my mum loved me.

Well, I don't want to hear it.

You don't want to hear
that your mum loved you?

I don't want to hear the lie.
And then she gave me this.

She said that my
mum wrote to me.

All the time. Sent
me birthday cards.

She looked after them for her.

So the husband wouldn't find
out Kathy's dirty little secret.

Well, I want you to
give them back to her.

Tell her I am not interested.

Have you read them?

I don't want to!

Read this. No.

Look, you can do it here or
you can do it in one of the cells.

It's up to you. You
can't do that! Try me.

Guv'nor, cook street
market's been set on fire.

Ok, I'll be right there.

Where are you going? You're staying
here until you've read all of them.

I'm not reading them letters.
You can't make me! I'm not doing it!

Could have been very nasty.

Started early this morning.
Lucky the place was empty.

But was that luck or judgement?

It's a crime scene now.

The fire brigade are pretty
convinced they're looking at arson.

Someone set fire to a big pile
of cardboard next to the bins.

The bins that were
next to baxton's office.

Another attack to add to
his score sheet, perhaps?

Luckily he was at his
solicitor's at the time, so...

So, do we think we might
have anything to do with it?

I think you could
say that, Jack, yes.

Cid are questioning him.

He won't be a tough nut to crack, so I shouldn't
imagine it will take too long. Poor kid.

Have baxton's
solicitors called yet?

What?

We think we ought to have
a little chat with Kevin baxton.

Do you need to talk to
me about David green?

I was the target of that
arson attack, you know.

Yeah, we've established that.

But you should be used
to being a target now.

14 assaults in
nearly as many years!

That is if you count
Billy putting one on you.

It counts. I bet it does.

How much do you reckon you're going to
get in compensation? It's not about that...

You've had as many jobs
as compensation claims!

You've worked everywhere,
haven't you? High rises,

old folks' home, multi-story
car park, community centre.

All council-run facilities. I enjoy
working in the public sector.

It's a shame the public
don't enjoy it. Tell us,

if you've been on the wrong
end of an assault in the workplace,

why is it you that
has to move on?

Maybe I'm not comfortable
working in a violent atmosphere.

Or maybe you feel there's no
point staying because you know

the place is going to be bulldozed or turned
into luxury flats or a shopping centre.

Which is what's happened to every
place you've worked apart from the market.

A lot of the council
properties are sold off.

Yeah, and most of them were
sold by councillor Steven coterell.

Bit of a scandal about
that, wasn't there?

Cos he had vested interests,
seeing as he was on the board of

westoe development, and they
were the ones buying all the property.

I wouldn't know anything
about that. Really?

Cos it was all over
the local paper.

And that's why coterell
lost his seat on the council.

Do you know who does all the legal
paperwork for westoe developments?

Caine, Wright and Johns.
And we know you know them.

So, who is it you do work for -

is it the ex-councillor, the
property developers, the law firm?

I don't work for any
of them any more.

Not since the property
market crashed.

And when I did work for them,
I wasn't doing anything illegal.

Fine, then tell us
what you did do.

Just... intelligence gathering.

I'd identify any obstacles to
the sale of council facilities.

Was Kathy green an obstacle?

See, I can't imagine your
usual tricks working on her.

Patience of a Saint.

Everyone says so. I was there
to see who'd put up a fight when...

Coterell announced
his plans to sell.

Everyone was so lax about
the market rules and regs...

I got rid of half of them by
handing out suspensions.

Apart from Kathy green. And
because of her family connection with

the market, she was the one who
put up a fight to stop you closing it.

She was nursing
her senile mother.

I didn't think she was
going to be problem.

You underestimated
her a bit there, though.

What did it take to get rid of
her? What are you implying?

You were alone with her
on the morning she died.

You don't understand. When
the property market slumped,

westoe developments
lost interest in cook street.

But Steven coterell didn't.

He was fighting his council seat in the
midst of a corruption scandal, remember?

So what looks
better to the voters?

Being involved in the
regeneration of a local market,

or closing the damn thing down?

I told you. I knew
he was a wrong 'UN.

You knew nothing, except that he clamped your
car and you wanted to get your own back. So?

I've just spoken to the sio on the arson case,
they're having a problem with David green.

What sort of problem? Apparently, he's absolutely
beside himself and they can't calm him down.

He keeps asking for his pills.

Pills? What kind of pills?

Well, they've spoken to the gp and
there's no prescription on file for him.

Just like Kathy? So, I've
called in someone to help.

Who? Nurse Helen.

I did that digging,
like you asked me to.

You were right, she does go all out for her
patients, a bit too far for some of them.

And there have been complaints
from the patients' families.

She's very high-handed
and apparently has a liking

for making decisions
that aren't hers to make.

Right, get her in.

When I heard poor David
needed me, what else could I do?

So, these tablets
he's asking for...

There you go. And
this is his prescription?

It's David's medication. No,
no. That's not what I asked.

Are these prescribed for David?

I didn't know I was coming
here to be questioned.

Excuse me, can I just...?

Ah, the instructions
are in Spanish.

But I know how to pronounce
this bit - Propranolol hydrochloride.

Sorry, I need a translation.

Beta-blockers.

I'm assuming that David
hasn't got a heart condition?

He needed something
to calm him down.

You should see him when
he loses his temper. I have.

And I think he needs a bit more
than a few pills. He needs proper help.

I was helping him. I was
helping the whole family.

What? You had them all
on unprescribed medication?

What about Kathy?

What did she need?

You don't understand
what she went through.

You've got no idea what it takes
to look after someone in that state.

But you do. Yes.

I don't mean as a nurse.

I mean your experience
with your dad.

You love looking after dementia
patients... even after your father?

I give people the
help that I never had.

The help that I
needed, that I asked for.

I'm good at my job because I understand what
people are going through, day in and day out.

Watching someone
you love just disappear.

So you think it's better to speed things
up...? No. That's not what I'm saying.

There was a complaint
made against you last year.

That was all a misunderstanding.

The husband of
a dementia patient

claimed you'd offered
to help his wife die.

That's not what I suggested.

I just wanted to make
her more comfortable.

And how were you going to do
that, what were you going to give her?

Did you make the
same offer to Kathy?

Oh, for god's sake!

There was nothing
left of Elsie by then.

Kathy had said her goodbyes,
said all she needed to say...

It wasn't your decision to make.

I didn't make a decision.

I just...

I showed Kathy that
there was another way.

A better way for it
to come to an end.

I just...

Guided her in
the right direction.

Guided or pushed?

Hi.

She really wanted me.

She wasn't ashamed of me at all.

It was her mum!

I know.

I mean, look at it all!

Every birthday card she sent me.

My birth certificate...

..My hospital bracelet...

She kept it all.

She was just waiting
for me to get in touch.

But when I did...

It wasn't your fault, it
wasn't the right time.

I know.

She said.

This is the last one.

It's ok, you can read it.

Are you sure?

I think you probably need to.

Megan...

It's this bit.

"Don't blame yourself,
my beautiful girl."

"I'm not doing this
because of you."

"I'm not even doing it for you."

"This is me being selfish

"and doing
something for myself."

"I just need to stop
feeling this way."

"I just need to let go."

An actual suicide note.

Yep, case closed. Damage done.

And Brian's passed on all
the information about Helen,

so she won't be helping
anybody else from now on. Good.

And the council's human resources mob are
taking a look at baxton's employment record.

And we may be about
to put away a rapist.

Hello, Olivia. I thought you said that even
you couldn't do anything with the evidence?

So, I found some new
evidence using your theory.

You thought that Kathy's death
might have been a first attempt

to drug someone by gunnell and
that he'd accidentally overdosed her.

But the more I thought
about it, you wouldn't overdo it

when you were first trying
it out. You'd under-dose.

Someone with a small amount of
temazepam in their system would be

tired and woozy, but they
wouldn't go into a deep sleep.

But they certainly
wouldn't be safe to drive,

and that's why I spoke to the
traffic unit and asked them for details

of any early morning car accidents
in the area around the snack Van

in the months between gunnell
getting his roadside vendor's license

and the first
reported attack. And?

And I narrowed them down
using the gender of the driver,

the intended destination and the
suspected cause of the accident.

I found two women who
crashed their cars going to work.

Cause - driver error, possibly
caused by intoxication.

I talked to the drivers.

And guess what? Please tell me
they stopped for morning coffee.

Both of them. Both
at gunnell's Van.

Gotcha! But don't you have
the same problem as the rapes?

It's all circumstantial.

Both accidents were serious enough
for the traffic unit to request blood tests

after the breathalyser tests came back
negative, and guess what they found? Temazepam?

One accident was so serious that
someone at the scene called an ambulance.

Gunnell's mobile!

Proof he was following the
women after he drugged them!

I mean, you've got to put a case together, but it
could be enough. It's good enough for me. Right...

Pub! Give me five!

You coming to the pub?

See you there. I think a
celebratory cufflink is well in order.

Sandra, I just wanted
to say thank you.

And sorry. I shouldn't have questioned
the direction of your investigation.

It's ok. No, it's not.

I just couldn't bear the
idea of finishing my career

with that bastard
still out on the street.

How long have you got left?

Finished today.

I've never asked you,
have you got a family? Kids?

No. Gosh, isn't that strange?

Why do I feel the need to
say something sympathetic?

Well, you wouldn't be the first.

Someone once told me
I could always get a cat.

The thing is, I don't regret it.

I made my choice
and I loved my job.

Why should I
apologise about that?

You shouldn't. Sandra,
I just wanted to...

I'll catch you up.

I just wanted to say thank you.

I was just doing my job. Yes,
that's what I'm thanking you for.

Well, let's not forget
it was a team effort.

I mean, Olivia made the first
connection. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And this is the same woman who
has just walked away from the job

cos she doesn't think she
can do it justice any more.

Do you think that's right,
sir? Well, I can't... good night.

Mum?

Sorry I'm late.

I thought we had another day.
No, my train leaves in an hour.

But I was going to make
dinner. I've bought vegetables.

Perhaps I've had a lucky escape.

It was a joke, dear.

You don't have to go.

Oh, I think I do.

It was nice idea, but...

We're not ready.
You're not ready.

I mean... you're very busy.

I can see that now.

Ok, fine.

I'll take you to the
station. I've booked a cab.

Of course you have.

Bye, mum. Safe journey.

Sandra, you know where
I am if you need me.

But don't leave
it too late, darling.
