- I have to admit to a selfish motive

in inviting Professor Newman here.

As a doctor, I'm intrigued to know

whether I'll still have a job in 10 years’ time,

or whether there's a chance of the recent developments

in biotechnology, specifically gene therapy,

will mean that whole areas of medicine and pathology,

as we know them, will cease to exist.

Professor Newman will be giving two lectures

to this university, explaining the scientific research

behind the many recent developments in this field.

And we welcome him here today.

Professor Newman.

- Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

- I gotta go, Gary.

Gary?

Forget it, I'll walk.

- Now, we all carry five to 10 fatal diseases in our genes.

Though we ourselves may not be affected by illness,

should our partners carry a corresponding genetic error,

our children may be.

But currently, we're attempting to replace

this flawed gene in the lung cells of sufferers,

by placing a normal gene in the virus,

which is then inhaled by the patient.

I don't think any reasonable, compassionate person

would disagree with this research.

This is somatic gene therapy.

Trying to help a person who already has the illness.

But what if we could prevent the illness in the first place?

Isn't prevention better than cure?

Think of it.

We could eradicate hereditary disease completely.

But this would entail germ line therapy.

Germ line gene transfer would affect

the reproductive cells, that is, sperm and eggs.

But of course, the regulations do not permit

germ line therapy, at present.

This is where, if I were a brave man,

I'd invite our chanting, banner-waving friends in,

and ask them a simple question: do they still want

to see children suffer diseases like this?

Or would they prefer us to eradicate them?

Thank you.

Jake?

Henry?

- They kept themselves very much to themselves.

- Right, they didn't even say good morning,

or ask you how you were.

- They were very private sort of people.

You'd see them in the local shop now and then, but sometimes

you wouldn't see them for weeks on end, really.

- Thank you

- Hello, I'm DCI Ranjeet Navar.

- How do you do?

- They're in here.

- They're brothers, lived here over 30 years.

Any idea how long they've been dead?

About four days.

- You can tell that just from looking?

- No, from the state of the milk.

Cause of death?

- No visible marks or injuries.

Could be anything.

- I think we can rule out brutal attack.

- No signs of a forced entry.

- Do we know if anything's missing?

- A bit early to tell yet, sir.

- Who found them?

The cleaner.

Nicola James, comes once a week.

- Jake and Henry Davies,

they have a tiny shop on the high street.

- Get down there and see what's what.

- Where's the cleaner.

Neighbors'.

- Do you mind if I have a word?

- Be my guest.

- Don't touch anything til I've finished in here.

You're new to AMIP, aren't you?

- Been with them for about a month.

- You enjoying it?

- I don't know yet.

People always mistrust a new face

until you've proved yourself.

You're the chair of forensic medicine

at London Uni, aren't you?

- Yeah, that's right.

- That's where I went.

- What did you read?

- Geography.

- And you became a policeman?

- Yeah.

- What happened?

- Have you ever studied geography?

Hello.

It's Nicola, isn't it?

I'm DCI Navar, and this is Professor Ryan.

She's helping us work out what happened,

and she'd like to ask you a few questions now.

Is that okay?

- You clean for the brothers once a week on a Thursday?

- That's right.

- When you found them, did you touch anything

or disturb anything?

How well did you know them?

- Not very.

I just came in and cleaned.

- When you came last week, did you see them?

- No, I haven't seen them for weeks.

I have my own key and I let myself in.

- And how were they the last time you saw them?

How do you mean?

- Oh, were they well, was there anything getting them down?

- Not that I know of.

I don't think they'd tell me, even if there was.

- Did they take any medication?

- I can't say.

There was some pills in the bathroom cupboard,

but I don't know what they're for.

- Thanks.

- Anything?

- Just painkillers, indigestion tablets.

Some prescribed blood pressure tablets.

Could they have anything to do with it?

- Doubt it.

Same as the bathroom.

- Anyone else been upstairs yet?

- Yes, but nothing's been touched.

And the neighbor across the road rang the local Mick

a couple of days ago, she was worried she hadn't seen them.

And?

Woodentop came around,

couldn't see anything unusual, so he left it.

Brilliant.

Anything else?

- Not yet; plenty of people still to see.

Seems the old boys were pretty popular.

- Popular?

This place is like a mausoleum.

Weird.

- They gave a lot to local charities.

Last year they coughed up the money

to send a kid to America for an operation.

- Okay, I'm through here.

There's nothing else I can do.

- Okay, if everyone's happy, let's remove the bodies.

- I'll be about 10 minutes, okay?

Stopping Professor Robert Newman's

lecture tour today.

As the professor arrived at the university,

he was jostled by protesters incensed with

his controversial stance on super-race genetics.

- The shop's been there as long as anyone can remember.

The guy and the news agents across the road

thought they must have gone on holiday.

- When was the last time they saw them?

- When they closed up for the weekend, Saturday.

- They didn't think to check it out?

- All he's bothered about is making pennies

and haypennies on papers and fags.

You know what these Asians are like.

- Yeah, tell me about it.

- I hung up my coat and got my cleaning things.

It's what I always do.

- You didn't go upstairs then?

- No, I always do downstairs first.

- So you don't know anything about a mattress

that had been stood on its side?

- Mattress?

On its side.

- Um, I...

It was in the bedroom

at the top of the stairs, Nicola.

- We've still no motive for murder, no murder weapon,

and the place was locked up.

- Nothing missing?

- In a chest of drawers hidden under a few shirts

was just sort of 23 grand, in cash, totally untouched.

I'm still heading for a suicide pact.

- Oh, really?

- If you're keeping something from us, Nicola,

it'd be best to tell us now.

Get it over with, eh?

Do you live here alone?

- Yeah.

So, who reads the girly mags?

Not gonna tell me you're getting it

for the articles, are you?

- We can search the place, if you want us to.

Get some more proof.

Belongs to my boyfriend.

- And what's his name?

- Gary Lomax.

And he lives here, does he?

Why didn't you say?

- I don't know.

- No visible sign of any facial injury.

And nothing to the rest of the head and the neck.

There's a small area of localized bruising

on the front-left side of the chest.

With what appears to be a puncture wound

which has caused some bleeding into the soft tissues.

Puncturing could have been caused by a needle,

consistent in size with a hypodermic syringe.

The right wrist is thinner than the left.

There's a loss of muscle mass and some deformity.

Also signs of a recent fracture.

We need an X-ray to get a better idea.

This is interesting.

What?

- The right wrist shows signs of linear indentation.

And superficial abrasions consistent with ligature marks.

- What could have caused that?

- Possibly a rope, or something with a similar,

roughened surface.

The left wrist is the same.

Let's take a look at body number two

and see if we've got a matching pair.

- Do you own a blue Ford Escort,

registration number G-777-JDW?

- Yes.

You use it to go to work?

- No, I can't drive.

I bought the car to learn to drive,

but I haven't passed my test yet.

So Gary uses it.

- He drive you to work then, does he?

- Yes.

- How come he didn't drive you yesterday?

- He was busy.

- Too busy to drive you in your car?

- Yeah.

- And is Thursday the only day you work for the brothers?

- That's right.

- How come the car was seen there last Monday?

- Yes, there's a similar puncture wound on the chest.

And the same possible rope burns on both wrists.

- Are you saying they were tied up?

- That's what it looks like.

Whether that happened before or after

they were injected in the chest, I don't know.

- This is all a bit elaborate, isn't it?

Injections in the chest?

- The injection may have punctured the heart,

but I won't be able to tell that until I've done

an internal examination on the organs.

- Could it have been a thin knife?

No, I don't think so.

Your suicide theory is looking less and less likely.

Body one.

There's a skin graft on the left arm.

Can I have the measure, please?

Thank you

It's approximately three centimeters by two centimeters.

And the same on body two.

It's in a similar position, a similar size.

We need to get photographs

of these as soon as possible, please.

- Nobody's accusing you of anything, Nicola.

But someone went upstairs and moved that mattress.

- Not me.

- And we wanna know what your boyfriend was

doing at the house on Monday.

- I don't know.

- I been in this bloody job too long, girl.

I can smell a liar at 50 paces.

I want the truth and I want it now.

- What about time of death?

- Because of the putrefaction of the right iliac fossa...

What's that?

- It's that green discoloration on the body.

They're probably dead for about two, three days.

I'll get a forensic entomologist in.

They'll be able to work it out from the development

of the maggot pupae cycle.

There were eggs found in the eye and nasal orifices.

- But the injections in the chest

are the likely cause of death, yeah?

- I don't know.

We have to wait for toxicology to get back.

- Could they have injected each other?

- Death was rapid.

It's like they both had a heart attack.

- At the same time?

Exactly.

- Which means what?

- That it wasn't a freak of nature.

- Yeah, yeah, fine, thanks.

You'll be pleased to know we have

both motive and opportunity.

My DS has just been interviewing the cleaner,

Nicola James, and the two brothers were cash hoarders.

Seems they didn't believe in banks.

She reckons they had about 10 grand under the mattress.

- And it's gone?

It's gone alright, and we think we know where to.

- Not Nicola.

- Her boyfriend.

She told him about the money.

- Stop, police!

Gary, Gary, please!

- Get off me, get off me!

Just calm down!

- Okay, okay.

Okay.

- A neighbor saw his car outside the Davies's on Monday.

When did you say about the milk?

Four days?

- I wasn't serious about that.

- The neighbor didn't think anything of it until now.

He often dropped Nicola off.

Then the neighbor realized

that Nicola only worked Thursdays.

It's true.

- You would say that, wouldn't you?

I swear it.

Get real, Gary, we know you were there.

We have a witness who saw you.

The money was found in your possession,

so let's stop messing about, eh?

You arrived at the house on the Monday, then what?

How'd you get in?

- I used Nicola's key.

- Once you were in the house, what did you do?

Went upstairs.

- Ignoring the fact the brothers were there?

- I didn't know they were.

- You didn't know Monday was their day off from the shop?

- No.

- Come off it, Gary.

That's why you chose Monday.

So you could find out where they hid their cash.

- No, because I already knew where they hid it.

Nick told me.

I just ran upstairs and got it.

- Was that before or after you tortured them?

- I didn't torture no one.

- Gary, you wanted to find out where they hid the rest,

but they wouldn't tell you, would they?

- That was five years ago.

He'd been doused with petrol.

We can do it better now.

- Looks pretty good to me.

- Peter Lake.

- Hi.

- You have some photographs?

- Yes, I do.

- Grafts on a dead body?

- Bodies.

- I don't do much work on corpses.

- They're on the left arms of two elderly brothers,

about the same size in the same location.

I think they're maybe covering up some sort of scar

or burn or teenage pact, maybe.

- Maybe.

- If I was gonna remove them,

would I destroy what's underneath?

- Normally I'd say there wouldn't be anything to destroy,

but these might be different.

- Why?

- They're not new, and they're not very good.

Do you know where they were done?

No, I don't.

- I'd be surprised if they were done

in this country during the last 50 years.

Are they Jewish?

They were both circumcised.

- There's a good chance the grafts

are hiding concentration camp tattoos.

You know, a number on the forearm.

- I'll check it out.

- The lack of craftsmanship could be

the result of some back-street surgery.

Post-war eastern Europe, possibly.

Pretty cool customer, aren't you Gary?

You break into a house, find two dead people,

and just carry on and rob them.

- I didn't know they was dead.

- When two people are not breathing,

it normally means they're dead.

- Look, I went upstairs first; I told you.

- So you took the cash from under the mattress, then what?

- Then I come downstairs and have a look around.

- Why didn't you just leave?

- Sorry, what?

- Why didn't you just leave?

- I thought there might be something else worth having.

- Go on.

- Then I went into the kitchen.

You know, and there they were.

Where you left them.

- No.

No, I nearly had a heart attack myself when I found them.

- How did you stop them calling out, Gary?

- I didn't.

I told you.

- Come on, Gary, be sensible.

Why don't you cough to the lot, get it over with?

- Because I didn't kill 'em.

- Can I have a photograph of this, please, Roger?

- Miss Heywood?

Dr. Horowitz?

Dr. Horowitz, please?

Doctor's ready for you.

- Just been checking that general registry girl.

There was an assault a few months ago.

- What kind of an assault?

- It was at the brother's shop.

An argument over a payment.

Jack Davies had his arm broken.

- Anybody charged?

- Carl Martin, ABH.

- What did he get?

- 500 pounds and a year's probation.

Better check him out.

- Sir, I've just had a Josef Horowitz on the blower,

says he was with the Davies brothers on the Sunday.

I'm off to take a statement now.

- Do we know anything about him?

- No, but by the sounds of him, I'd better be quick.

You'll have pegged it by the time I get there.

- At its most basic,

death can be regarded as natural or unnatural.

- But never supernatural.

Not in my experience.

- Not in Douglas's, either.

- If it's unnatural, it's not hard to figure out

what role the forensic pathologist plays.

- To have to provide medical evidence

to say how the person died.

You assist in finding evidence.

- That's what I meant, and at the same time,

you're trying to work out whether

it was an accident, or murder.

- Or suicide.

That's right.

- What about a situation where someone dies,

as a result of having their genes altered before birth?

- Here we go.

- What?

- Well, no prizes for guessing

who was at Professor Newman's lecture.

- Not me, I was outside.

- At the front, with the banner.

What's wrong with that?

- Nothing, only you missed a good lecture.

- I went to the lecture.

The man is talking about preventing death.

- Yeah, but what if we make mistakes?

Just one small error and generations

of people could be affected.

We're stumbling around in the dark.

- Every step forward comes with risk.

- So who decides what degree of risk is acceptable?

- Medical establishment.

Society.

- Absolutely; it's society's choice, but as scientists,

aren't we supposed to lay all the facts before them?

Yeah.

- And what if we don't know them, ourselves?

- I do.

- But if you weren't there to hear the lecture,

how can you understand what's being advocated?

- I've read about his ideas.

Where?

- Papers and journals.

- What I'm trying to say, Douglas,

is if you stand outside a lecture

having the odd scuffle with police,

you're not actually going to understand what's being said,

fun though it may be.

- Mr. Carl Martin?

PC Armstrong, we'd like to ask you a few questions,

if that's alright, sir?

- What about?

- Shall we go inside?

- No, you can ask me here.

Jan, take the kids in.

So, what'd you wanna ask?

- We'd be better inside.

- Alright, forget it.

We'd like to know where you were last Monday.

- Why?

- If you could just tell me where you were?

No, not until you tell me why, first.

- We could always do this at the police station.

- Look, he was with me, alright?

All day?

- Yeah, all day.

We had lunch, we went shopping,

picked the kids up from school,

and then spent the night watching telly.

Was there anything else you need to know?

- You're talking about the Nuremberg code.

- And what else?

Toby?

- The Declaration of Helsinki.

- That's right; tell me about them.

- They're international guidelines.

- Which protect people involved in biomedical research.

- There's also the ones developed by

the Medical Research Council and the BMA.

- And the Medical Royal Colleges.

- That's the same thing.

No it's not.

- It says the same thing.

- Which is?

- Ah, about patient's autonomy and informed consent

before trials, that sort of thing.

- What if someone didn't obtain consent?

- Oh, you tell me.

- Well, if you were wrong, then you'd have a major problem.

You'll be had up and done.

- Yeah, but if they die,

your role as a pathologist would remain the same.

- But none of this really safeguards the people

who need safeguarding.

- Why not?

- Well, if you wanna do experiments on humans,

then you just prey on the weak.

I could go out on the street now and I could find

a busload of people who would sign anything for a few quid.

- You'd still have to prove that they were mentally capable

of making a decision.

- How are you gonna do that if they're dead?

- Isn't this all getting a bit fanciful?

- I don't think so.

Do you seriously think that Professor Newman,

given the opportunity, wouldn't work on humans?

- Only in the accepted way.

- Oh, come on, think about it.

There's thousands of people wandering around out there

who could disappear today and nobody would know they'd gone.

What's to stop him using those people?

- A conscience?

Well, I think that's about it for today.

See you in a month.

- There goes my honors in pathology.

- Douglas?

I'm really not that narrow-minded.

A student's job is to question, disturb the status quo.

And you do it as well as anybody.

- Do you remember what time you arrived

at the house, Dr. Horowitz?

- I'm not quite sure.

- But it was Sunday, wasn't it?

- Yes, that's right, Sunday.

- He'd have got there around about two.

- That's right, yes, two.

- And how long were you there?

Oh, I'd say a couple of hours at the most.

I think.

- And the Davies brothers were friends of yours?

- Yes.

Known them a long time?

- Oh, a very long time.

I lost touch with them for a while.

He'd only recently met up with them again.

- Did you visit them as well, Mrs. Horowitz?

- No, no, I didn't really know them at all.

- So basically, you arrived about two-ish?

Yes.

- And you were on the road again about four.

- Well, it can't have been any later.

He was back here before six.

- That's right.

- And how were they when you left them?

- Well, they seemed to be better.

Better?

- Well, they'd had this bit of trouble at the shop.

- The assault.

- Yes, Jake ended up in hospital.

It was a bit of a mess, really, and then they started

having these late-night visitations.

How do you mean?

- People shouting through the letter box.

Throwing things at the house.

- What type of things?

- Eggs, anything that causes a mess.

When you start to get on a bit,

things like that can be very upsetting.

- Of course.

Thank you for getting in touch.

It's been very useful.

If you think of anything else, please give us a ring.

- This man they've arrested, ah, who is he?

I'm afraid I can't tell you.

At the moment, he's helping us with our inquiries.

He hasn't been charged with anything.

- Oh, do you think he will be?

I really can't say.

Thanks again.

- Death in both cases was caused by an injection

of modified glycol, directly into the heart.

- Glycol, what's glycol?

- It's a type of alcohol,

but he'd added some other substances.

They're still trying to work out what they are.

- Which means we're none the wiser.

Where the hell would you get glycol from?

- Well, you wouldn't carry it around with you.

It gave the impression of a sudden, massive heart attack.

The bruising to the chest was caused by the injection.

- Cliff, get on the blower.

I want teams down to the Davies's and Lomax's.

We're looking for modified glycol.

- You say he worked in a school?

Yeah.

- Try the chemistry lab.

- Check that out, as well.

See if you can find some temazepam.

- Temazepam?

- They both had enough to knock them out.

- Are you saying Lomax drugged them first?

- Well, somebody did.

- Temazepam.

Sounds like a junky to me.

- If you could find temazepam on a syringe at Lomax's

with traces of glycol, then you might be onto a winner.

- Should I make that call, gov?

- So, what we're looking at is a man who arrives

with temazepam and a needle full of glycol.

He persuades the brothers to have a drink with him,

into which he has placed the temazepam.

He then ties them up.

- Yes, a possible scenario,

but why would he go to all that trouble?

- To make them tell him where the rest of the cash was.

And then he injects them in the heart?

- Well, he had no choice; they knew who he was.

- He could've achieved the same

with something a lot simpler.

- He'll have read about it somewhere,

got it off the internet, something like that.

- Yeah, maybe.

- You're not convinced.

- No, but it's you who has to go with it, not me.

According to reports I've read,

Professor Newman, you're pursuing

germ line research on animals.

Yes, that's right.

For what purpose?

- Could you turn that up, please?

Research is being carried out on mice that have

been genetically altered to mimic human conditions.

We take a mouse embryo, manipulate the genes, replace it

in the mother, and see if a healthy mouse is born.

Sounds very unpleasant for the mouse.

I presume you would prefer

that to us experimenting on humans.

- There are objections to bail.

First, the severity of the charge, and second,

bearing in mind the only sentence that can be imposed

for such a crime, it is feared that the defendant

would fail to answer if he was granted bail.

He has no community or family ties.

- Gary Lomax, your case is adjourned until the 24th of July.

You'll be remanded in custody until that date.

The grounds for refusing bail are due

to the seriousness of the charge.

- Excuse me?

You came and took a statement from me.

That's right, Mr. Horowitz.

- Yes, about the man that's just been remanded,

are you sure he did it?

- That'll be for the jury to decide, sir.

- But I think you may have the wrong man.

- Do you have some more information for us?

- No, you don't understand; he didn't do it.

- Mr. Horowitz, if you have any information,

I'd be happy to send a man round

to take a further statement from you.

- Checked out what the old boy told us

about late night disturbances.

None of the neighbors were aware of anything wrong, sir.

- No broken windows or anything?

- Nope.

- I think you should look at the motive of the crime.

- Mr. Horowitz.

If you have any further information, please,

call the station and we'll come and take a statement, okay?

Like I said, if you ever want to,

we'd be more than happy to listen to you.

- Professor Ryan.

This is for you.

- Thanks.

- There's someone waiting to see you.

He hasn't got an appointment.

- Who is it?

- A Dr. Horowitz.

- What does he want?

- I did ask him but he wouldn't tell me.

- Thanks, then.

Dr. Horowitz?

I'm Sam Ryan, how can I help you?

- Oh, you're not as I imagined.

- Pardon?

- I've read most of your work.

I always expected somebody older.

- What can I do for you?

- Jake and Henry Davies.

- Sorry, I'm not able to discuss the case.

But this is very important!

- If you have something to say,

you must say it to the police.

- But I've tried.

- I'm sorry.

- Please, listen, Leon said you would.

- Leon?

Leon Foreman.

- You know Leon?

- Oh yes, yes, we studied together after the war.

We always kept in touch.

I remember him saying there was a student,

one of his, an exceptional student,

told me to look out for her name, Sam Ryan.

- Look, Dr. Horowitz, you understand the situation.

With current cases...

- Of course, of course, but if I mention a name

and a date, that wouldn't break any law, would it?

- No.

- Saul Edwards, 1996.

Thank you for your time, Professor Ryan.

- Yeah?

Sam Ryan for you.

- Okay, put her through.

Hello?

- Hi, I got a report back from the lab

about the skin grafts I removed.

- And?

- The subcutaneous tissue under the graft

showed traces of ink, tattooing ink.

The grafts were covering up tattoos.

- Do we know what the tattoos depicted?

- Well, I can't be sure, but I think they're tattoos

from a World War II concentration camp.

- Do you think they may have some relevance?

- I just thought it was something that should be considered.

- Okay, okay, I'll put it in the mix.

Racist attacks.

- Sir?

- In the West London area, what have we got

over the last couple of years?

- Can I ask what this is to do with?

- The Davies brothers were Jewish.

- There's nothing to say this was anti-Semitic, is there?

- Only that they may have been Jewish.

- And?

- And as this is a murder investigation,

we examine all avenues, don't we?

- Yes, sir.

- They're all the same.

Everything's down to racial prejudice.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Do you have a minute?

- Ah, yes.

So, what can I do for you?

- I came to apologize.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

Sort of.

I was out of order today.

- You were expressing opinion, that's all.

- I'm glad you see it that way.

It's just that I...

Any chance of a drink?

- Beer?

- Yeah, that'd be great.

This is a really nice place.

- I think so.

- These for some new research project?

- No.

- Cheers.

What, you just have them lying around to cheer you up?

- They're connected to a case I'm involved with.

- I suppose that was one of the times

when your theory was proved wrong.

What theory?

- Your theory about not demonstrating, but listening.

- I didn't actually say that.

- Didn't you?

- Douglas, why do you only hear what you want to hear?

What I actually said was you, um,

have to understand someone's point of view

before you can object to it.

- What, you don't think I understand

what Professor Newman's talking about?

- Well, do you?

- I've read a lot of his articles.

- You had a chance to hear what he had to say,

and you didn't take it.

- Yeah, that's because I didn't like what I'd read.

- But in a democratic society, opposing views

have to be heard, otherwise there's no democracy.

- Even when those views are morally and ethically suspect?

- Well, who says?

That could just be your subjective view.

- So, is that just my subjective view?

Don't be ridiculous, of course not.

- Do you ever get angry?

- Yes, I do.

- It's just, it's really hard to tell with you.

You're always so,

contained.

- What did you really come round here for?

- To ask you out.

I'm serious.

- I think you'd better go.

- What's wrong with that?

- You're a student.

- Yeah, it's alright, it's not a problem to me.

- It's a problem to me.

- Why not try?

It could be fun.

- Night, Douglas.

- At least I know you'll think about it.

You're the one that always goes

on about keeping an open mind.

Thanks for the beer.

Don't forget something for the kids, Carl.

- Alright, see you tomorrow.

Hello, pathology.

Yes, he's expecting those reports.

We'll send a courier over today.

- Dr. Priestly?

- In his office.

- Thank you.

- Ah, Sam.

I thought you were somebody important.

- Still at it?

- Only way I can get through the day.

Would you like one?

- I manage to hold off until I get home.

- Are you doing a PM here?

No, I've come to see you.

- Thanks.

- Saul Edwards, 1996.

Does that ring any bells?

- Are you poking your nose in where it's not wanted again?

- I need to know the circumstances surrounding the death.

Cause of death, action taken by police.

- Hm, is that all?

- Do you remember it?

- Yes, I remember it.

And?

- Old boy drowned.

- That's right.

The report says he sustained cuts

and bruises consistent with a fall.

Really?

- Maybe.

- Could he have been attacked?

- It was ambiguous.

There was little evidence to confirm either way,

and given the lack of evidence,

to suggest that someone else was involved,

well, the police found that injuries consistent

with a fall suited them a lot better.

Good morning, ladies and gentleman,

and welcome aboard the.

This is all a bit cloak and dagger.

Just thought you'd like to get out of the office.

- This is to do with the Davies case, I take it?

- I've been following up on the tattoos on the arms.

And?

- Where were you in '96?

- With a crime squad in Leeds.

- Then you probably don't remember the Saul Edwards case.

- The canal death?

- He lived with this family in West London.

The coroner recorded an open verdict.

They arrested Carl Martin, a known fascist,

but he was never charged.

Because there was no evidence.

This says the injuries were sustained in a fall.

- But what it fails to say is that it could also

have been the result of an attack.

Carl Martin is a known anti-Semite with a violent history.

And he has a connection.

We have no proof.

Please. Please.

I Am another man. Please...
