Original subtitles

I can't make an arrest, Doctor, until I know exactly what you saw.

Thomas Finn tried to kill me. Leave this.

They're just doing their job.

Well, as soon as I'm sure you're capable of doing yours, I'll let them. Why are

you so sure it was Finn?

I had him struck off.

When was this?

Hearing was three weeks ago. He threatened me right after the verdict.

And you saw him attack you? If she can listen, why can't you?

We need to know exactly what happened, sir.

Finn tried to kill me and damn near succeeded.

If Finn's not arrested within the hour, I'll have your job.

It's kind of handy when the victim doesn't die, isn't it?

Yeah, it's kind of better for them too.

Any idea what's in it yet?

No, not yet.

I'd say he was lucky, though. Managed to pull it out before much went in.

OK, Jackie. Better see what this Dr Finn's got to say for himself.

Looks like he's in.

Dr Finn!

Open up, Dr Finn! Police!

Dr. Thomas Finn.

Would you mind leaving that?

It's reaching a crucial stage.

This is rather serious, sir.

At 8 .30 this evening, an attempt was made on Dr. Mellor's life.

He's made a statement accusing you.

You don't mind, do you?

Where were you at 8 .30, Doctor?

Buying a tin of berlotti beans and some porcini mushrooms.

Where from?

France, just down the hill.

Doctor Miller tells us you lost your job because of him.

I expect he also told you that I threatened him too.

You were a top consultant.

That's a big career to lose.

What's killing a man for?

Oh, I don't deny I do have motive. I can't stand the man.

But I prefer saving lives, not taking them.

Can anyone verify your movements?

Well, the store owner will remember me. I'm a regular there.

And the goods came to £5 .80, I believe.

That's a very exact amount to remember, Doctor.

I'm a very exact kind of a man.

Stuart?

Yeah, Franchi's Deli in Garnet Hill?

Check if Dr Finn was there around 8 .30 this evening.

Thanks. Here we are.

£5 .80.

I've spent all evening trying to cook my supper, Chief Inspector.

Something I would now like to enjoy.

I got the deli owner out of his bed. He remembers Finn.

And he's sure of the time? Missed the start of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Because the doctor was unusually talkative.

He bought... Orchini mushrooms and berlotti beans.

Thank you, Sue. Already savoured the full meal.

So Miller didn't see his attacker after all.

First thing in the morning, Jackie, you and I are going to have a few choice

words with our victim.

Isn't there a private room ready yet?

It's been locked up.

We have no grounds for detainment.

Are you trained in incompetence?

I'm trained to serve the law, Doctor, and that deserves more respect than

giving it. You didn't see your attacker, did you?

The man lost his career because of me. There's a raft of witnesses, so him

threatened me. Finn has an alibi, sir. It wasn't him.

It was definitely him.

And you'd swear to that under oath.

If it was Finn, we'll get him. I need evidence, Doctor, not speculation.

He obviously skipped the bedside manner class at doctor school.

Talked to his colleagues. Seems anybody apart from Finn bears a grudge.

That should be forensics of all.

People went to both happy.

Sinister goings -on in a newspaper office.

Kenny Niven, sir. We've been sent something really weird.

Morning, Kenny.

Robbie.

Did you piss off enough to get this as a present, then?

His assistant opened it. She's still recovering.

Well, if it touched her.

Dillman. The way he left it there called you.

Thought it should be for you, sir.

There was nothing with it. No letter or anything.

No.

Finn was running a drug trial. Thought he was on the edge of a major

breakthrough. Could have saved millions of lives. Made his reputation.

But it went wrong.

Oh, yes.

And someone died?

Glynis Campbell?

Had a severe reaction to the trial drug.

Research was immediately suspended.

So before all this, Mellor and Fender, did they get along?

Hated each other. It was almost chemical.

They were big rivals.

Here you are.

Thanks.

One of my exes.

OK, I'm all ears.

I can see that.

Right. See here, the way it's been cut.

It's smooth, almost surgical.

So it was a close shave?

Whoever this belonged to didn't put up a fight. See the amount of blood?

Hardly any.

Well, when you die, your blood stops pumping. So if you cut an ear off, you'd

hardly bleed at all.

So I'm looking for a corpse.

I'd say so.

Oh, I also got a handwriting expert to look at this.

The way he forms the words, the plant of the letters, tells us a lot.

Fastidious. Definitely male.

Strong, controlling tendencies.

Wouldn't likely live alone. No friends.

I'm off to find a one -eared stiff.

Good luck.

Heard about the ear?

That was safely in Stuart's hand.

What about you?

Well, Finn deserved to lose his job.

His research killed a woman.

So Mellor wasn't just being vindictive?

No. There were two other women at the hearing that gave evidence.

Karen Mingus, Mellor's research assistant.

And Sarah Campbell, the daughter of the dead woman?

Talk to them, Robbie.

See if there's any threats.

No, no, Sarah Campbell's on holiday. She won't be back until tomorrow night.

What else?

Well, Mellor's life's not that simple.

He's going through a nasty divorce.

Right, go through this lot, Robbie.

Where are you going?

Where do most murders start?

The home.

Exactly.

Robbie, talk to Karen Mingus first.

I'm so sorry. I thought it was him again.

Who?

Lucky Beckman.

Mrs Mellor, I'm DCI Buck. This is DS Reid.

I want to talk to you about your husband.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, it's all right, Mrs Mellor. Let's just go inside, shall we?

Let's get my cigarettes.

What a place.

Wish I was a consultant's wife.

Nearly divorced consultant's wife.

Even better.

Sorry.

How long have you and your husband been living apart, Mrs Miller?

A couple of months.

Look, how did it happen?

I don't follow.

My husband, you said he's been hurt.

I didn't, actually.

Were you a police?

I just perfumed him.

Was there some reason why you think your husband was hurt?

Yeah, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

Right. Look, I know my husband isn't exactly a popular man.

But no -one would want to hurt him.

Well, I'm afraid we've got some bad news for you.

Your husband was attacked last night.

He's a bit shaken, but he'll make a full recovery.

You all right?

I'm fine.

Do you, um... Do you know who did it?

That's what we're investigating.

Hmm.

Well, thanks for your time, Mrs Miller.

Is that all?

For now.

I've had him since he was a wee thing.

My best friend in the world, aren't you, Archie?

It sounds like you've been having a hell of a time.

That's putting it mildly.

So, um, this is the log of all the incidents that you've reported.

Well, I need to update it. I mean, he was outside last night. Two in the

morning, he's standing looking at me through the letterbox.

That's why... Look, are you all right?

Really, I'm sorry about that.

Okay, I'd have done something similar if some idiot had been stalking me.

What was this, a tip in a magazine, you know? Lemon juice.

Didn't get prosecuted for using me.

I should write and thank the editor.

So, um, these incidents started a week ago.

Ten days now.

Feels a bit longer, though.

And you sure you haven't seen or heard from Dr Finn since his disciplinary?

No.

You don't really think it's him, though, do you?

Something's not right there, Jackie.

Yeah, she was definitely jumpy.

So how long do we wait?

If she's up to her neck, she won't sit still long.

Ah, very good.

Bit down market for him.

Jackie, go on to Reckham.

See if they can put a name to that address.

Hi there, this is DS Reid.

Could you run a full check for me, please?

Yep, the address is... 96.

96 Creighton Street on the south side.

Thank you.

Do you know him?

I haven't seen him before.

Yeah.

Thanks. Ian Redmond.

Flagged by the branch.

Hard man with previous for serious assault.

Moved here about six months ago.

What's the doctor's wife doing arguing with him in the street?

We're picking him up.

Hmm.

Let's try the good doctor again first.

It seems we've had bitter things there between him and his wife.

Shouldn't have discharged himself without informing us.

I get the impression Dr Miller answers to no one.

Maybe he's staying with friends.

Don't think he's got any.

Jackie.

But I would guess the opentin.

Same as last time.

What's that?

Used in anaesthesia.

All right, now, is it down a bit? Not necessarily.

It's relatively easy to get hold of.

I'll let you know soon as.

Jackie and I know who did it.

Finn. You said that drug kind of supports it. That's a cover.

The wives would leave with a hard man called Redmond. We sat and watched them

his way back from doing this.

I'm not sure, boss.

The wife's the strongest lead. We'll pick her up. She's not a professional.

she's involved, she'll crack. Sir, you got a minute?

You got an eyewitness seen reading?

Aye, I wish.

No, I think there's something you should see.

What stone did he crawl out from?

He's a crime reporter. What do you expect?

You're trespassing on an official crime scene. Has somebody been hurt?

Your speculation is bad journalism.

Sir? I'm sorry, Mr Nibbin. You'll have to leave.

Boss, Jackie's right. You should see this.

Well, we seem as though they're living off the premises.

Why, Kenny?

Do you, er... Do you know him?

No. Do you, Izzy?

Oh, it doesn't matter.

On you go. We know what he's like.

So, what do you make of that?

Dr Finn!

Can you let him through, please?

Can I ask why you're here?

I was passing.

Forgive me saying, Doctor, but that's one hell of a coincidence.

Is Mellor dead?

Wait there.

Put the pressure on, Robbie. See what he's up to.

Jackie, I'll pick up Mellor's widow.

Jackie.

This lecture you say you attended, Mr Finn.

Several people saw you.

Doctor Finn?

Yes.

Endocrinology.

Fascinating talk.

This should provide you with all the details.

Oh,

I believe they have closed -circuit television in the building.

I'm sure if you take a look, you'll see that I'm on it.

I'll check.

I assume I'm now free to go.

No.

I haven't finished yet.

Karen Mingus. What do you want to tell me about her?

She's one of Mellor's lackeys.

You don't like the woman.

I pity her. She's misguided.

Her evidence went a long way to losing you your job. My work would have saved

lives.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands.

And the woman who lost her life, Glynis Campbell, she was a necessary sacrifice.

You can't be sentimental in medicine, Inspector.

Karen Mingus is a pawn to Bella. He wanted me out and she helped him do it.

When was the last time you saw her?

At the hearing.

Where he threatened her?

I had just lost everything. It's not surprising if tempers were a little

Someone's harassing Karen Mingus and I'd say that someone sounds suspiciously

like you.

Your evident being?

Instinct.

I thought police work was scientific, based on fact.

Maybe I have the facts.

Do share.

Karen Mingus is petrified. We've got no evidence this is Finn and we've got a

murder to investigate.

Message for you, Robbie.

The lecture that Finn attended.

Sat in the front row, asked a couple of questions, just the 200 witnesses.

OK, that's him in the clear.

Do you want a hand with the wife?

No, no, Jackie and I will interview her.

So, have you found the full set yet, Stuart?

Sir? The owner of the ear. Presumably whoever it was started off with a

pair. Gemma confirmed it comes from a corpse. Still to find it.

So, your next task is?

Undertakers and mortuaries.

A lot to get through.

Well, try not to have too much fun.

Robbie, give the boy a hand, would you?

Oh, no.

Oh, come on, he's up to his ears.

Right, Jackie, let's go and beat a confession out of Mrs Miller.

This is going to take forever.

Yeah, I know.

Bit of sleeping on it.

Where are we going? In search of inspiration.

What?

My husband and I were married for 20 years.

That means something.

Did to him too, didn't it?

He hated your new boyfriend, threatened to cut you off without a penny.

A man's been murdered, Mrs Bella.

Yes, my husband. And you know nothing about it? No.

It's just a pity you won't cooperate.

You do yourself a lot of favors.

Oh, no.

Ian Redman.

Hardly the natural friend of an upright citizen like yourself, Mrs. Mellor. He's

not a friend. What exactly is he, then? I told him not.

That's what that was all about. I told him I'd changed my mind. Well, that

be a woman's prerogative, but I'd say you'd left that a wee bit too late. My

husband drove me to it. He was unrelent.

I did try and make it stop.

Make what stop, Mrs. Mellor?

I hired Ian Redmond to kill my husband.

But he said he didn't do it.

Cheers, Stuart.

I thought it was your round.

You know, maybe you didn't draw the short straw after all.

What, mortuaries and undertakers?

At least you're in a pub with me. Think of poor Jackie.

Can I join you both?

Sure. So you haven't found out who sent me that parcel?

Nice try, Kenny, but we wouldn't tell you, would we?

Sorry. This is all just a bit weird, you know.

Yeah, I know, mate, yeah.

So where's your other half? Never seen you drinking without them.

He's away.

I thought Ray was a teacher.

He is.

It's term time, so how did he get off?

You lot never stop with the questions.

You've been dumped.

Ray's away with what?

Aye, and he's a frigging supermodel.

Do you want a drink?

Come on, Kenny.

Things look brighter after a pint.

Ah, go right then.

Get him a pint, Stuart.

And I'll take a whisky.

Of course, Redmond will deny everything.

We're no forensics. I'm witnessing.

Oh, come on. Rona Mellor's work could account for something, surely.

No, enough.

Where are you off to?

Home.

We can't afford to soft pedal, Jackie.

As soon as Redmond finds out we've got the wife, he'll be long gone.

So you want him picked up now?

No, we're going to have to be cleverer than that.

Get through the paperwork at Mrs Miller. I want it at my desk first thing.

Jackie, what do you wear when you're out in the town?

Can't they remember?

Why? I think tomorrow you should get yourself a makeover.

New World Chardonnay.

Barique fermented.

I thought you'd appreciate it.

Cheers.

Mmm.

If you don't mind me saying so.

I think you look pretty stunning as well.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Look at me.

Are you done?

Well, a kiss would help.

I know you're pushing it.

All right, that's plenty.

Have them develop within the hour.

Oh,

Shredman.

Hello.

Thanks for calling, Mr Redman.

Look, I don't know how you normally work this, but could we meet up?

Yeah, that's great.

No, no, I'll be there.

OK.

He's bought it.

Hunterian Museum. We don't have long.

OK, let's get set up.

Nice.

Boss is right, Jackie. You're looking really, um... Can see that.

You had your chance to.

As you thought of Jackie. Thank you.

So are you really concerned about my welfare or are you just wanting the day

off? Just wanting the day out.

Heard any more from Karen Mingus?

Nah, I've passed it on. She should be okay.

Do you really think it's him?

Yeah, just something about him.

Ah, you see, instinct's the dangerous thing, Robbie.

So is ignoring it.

I haven't seen that for a while.

You ready, Jackie?

Yeah.

Now, get him to say it, not just hint.

He's taking money to murder your husband.

We'll need that on the tape.

Get worried at any stage and you leave, OK?

Will do.

All right, we'll get in position.

No risk, OK?

Mrs Tomlin.

Mr Redman.

I can see why you called me, if that's your taste in men.

Did you bring the photos?

Oh, yes.

His name's Matt.

Well, Matthew.

I'm not surprised you weren't rude.

Is he as bad as he looks?

Well, that's him in a good day.

He bullies me, you know.

He hasn't got a good word to say about anyone.

He's a control freak, and he's always shouting.

Honestly, he never cracks a smile.

Bad -tempered little bastard.

Just let it.

And that's why you want Red?

No, he's having an affair.

You know, I've stood by him through thick and thin, and he's at it.

in your dreams.

Now,

I don't come cheap.

No, I know.

So how will you do it?

Do you have the money?

Come on, Jackie, get him to say it.

2 ,000, that's right, isn't it?

And the rest on completion.

Very nice of you, Mrs. Tomlin.

Is that it?

You've given me everything I need.

But how will you do it?

Don't worry, nothing will lead back to you.

I will study your man.

I will find something appropriate, something that will lead the police

but here.

Doesn't it bother you?

Killing.

You shouldn't be afraid of saying it, you know.

I'll get rid of your husband, but you pay me to do it.

You're part of the game now.

So when will it be?

It's best you don't know how or when. I'll be in touch.

Ian Redman, I'm detaining you under section 14 of the criminal procedure...

That's enough!

Get a cuff on him.

Carry on, Jackie. I'm detaining you under section 14... Captain Mingus,

She's in a state. She thinks Ben's outside.

All right, go. We're just about finished here. You're not obliged to say

anything, but anything you do say will be noted and may be used in evidence. Do

you understand the charge?

On you go.

Miss Mingus!

Karen, it's D .I. Ross.

Did you get him?

No. Sorry.

You must think I'm making this all up.

No, no, not at all. Of course I don't.

Oh, thanks.

Look, there was definitely somebody outside. I know you're right. I never

actually see anybody. It's just shadows and odd glimpses, but... Oh, I suppose I

can never really be sure.

Listen, Karen, whoever this is is very clever and it's not your fault.

But we've got you confessing on tape.

I confess to nothing.

You said you'd take money to kill her husband.

It doesn't mean I was going to do it.

Rona Mellor hired you to kill her husband.

Now he's dead.

It wasn't me.

How do you explain this, then?

She was calling it off.

That's what's going on there.

But then you'd already killed him, hadn't you?

You know, her description of you is spot -on, pal.

I'm not your pal, Mr Redman. I'm your worst nightmare.

When these photos were taken, you were on your way back from committing the

murder. I wasn't. We know it was you.

I was not. I've got proof.

My wife gave birth yesterday.

24 hours in labour, I was with her the whole time. When that witch showed up, I

was going home for some kip.

We can check with the hospital, you know. You can check all you like.

She's in the Queen Mum's. How many women's husbands have you murdered, Mr

Redman?

None.

I take the first half of the fee, that's all.

And then I lie low for a while.

I mean, these women, they're hardly going to ask for the money back, are

You're pawned life, Redman.

And whether it's extortion or murder, I'm gunning for you.

Do you think it is Dr Finn?

I really can't say.

When he threatened me after the hearing, I thought it was just heat of the

moment. Yeah, it might well have been.

He threatened Dr. Miller too, though. Now he's dead.

Yeah, Finn had an alibi for that.

Honestly, don't you worry yourself.

You did the right thing calling me.

Give me one second.

Hello?

Look, who is this?

It must be him. He asked me to go to the front door.

Stay here.

Not sure.

Oh, my God!

Find Finn.

Watch him.

Robbie and I'll go through everything again.

Maybe we're missing something.

Karen wants to stay with her mother's in Annie's land. It should be safe for

them.

Didn't even make it to the cat flap. Arrange transport. Make sure she's not

followed.

Things before?

Poor thing.

Didn't deserve this, did you?

He has more sympathy than the humans.

Cats are easier to like.

Right, I'll get this analysed. Bet I can guess the result.

You all right, pal?

A bit hungover.

The two don't exactly go together.

If you get a result, I thought you'd be here till sundown.

Who's got access to this place?

Mortuary staff.

What about members of the public?

Nothing less than the horizontal position.

We even do the cleaning.

Can you show me where your passing records are?

Aye, sure.

What did I tell you?

You're going nowhere.

You know I'm not your man.

You're still a con artist extorting women.

I needed the money for the baby.

There's honest ways of earning it.

Oh, come on, Mr Burke, have a heart. My son comes out of hospital today.

Pity you'll not be seeing him for a while.

What if I help you?

Go on.

I didn't say so at first because I knew it would look bad.

But I did go to Mellie's.

Just to put out the ground.

I wasn't the only one.

Redman reckons the man he saw outside Mellor's was tall and slim. There's no

that's Finn. There's no -one else.

He's got alibis. If this is Finn, then he's got an accomplice.

Uh -huh. Not such a long shot.

Sir, I found the owner of the ear.

City mortuary.

Name's John Kent.

RTA two weeks ago.

It was the 20th body I'd looked at.

What do you want, a medal?

He came in with both?

Definitely. Post -mortem doesn't have any mention of him missing one.

So you've sold it already?

Yeah. I've checked the staffing list and the shift patterns.

This guy's the only one that fits Gemma's profile.

Who is he? David Tyler.

Medical student dropout. Chooses to work nights. A lot less supervision.

Gives him the perfect opportunity.

Where do we find him?

He's just finished his shift. I've got an address.

Hold your horses.

Robbie and I'll do that.

It's my case, sir.

This isn't about making your day satisfactory, son.

Help Jackie with her surveillance.

We'll sort this.

The bugger's no end.

Shit.

Oh, I'm not looking.

I was open all the time, sir.

Mr Tyler.

David Tyler.

Come on, wake up, son.

Get off me!

Quiet, show some respect.

I'm DTI Burke.

The man helping you stand is D .I. Ross.

What do you want? I've done nothing.

Apart from stealing half the hospital by the looks of it. I'll take it back.

Nobody was using it anyway.

And does that include the ear?

What are you talking about?

You know what you've been doing, son?

Not nice. It's not me.

Oh, you've got a mate who does the cutting, have you?

I've done nothing.

Are you going to tell us the truth, son?

Or is the knife officer going to have to persuade you?

Every time I get anything interesting, he takes it off me.

Oh, get over it, Stuart.

He's been good like that for half an hour.

You've been moaning for longer.

It's not much of a life, is it?

Do you reckon yours is better?

He's got no one and nothing.

I'm not as sad as that.

When was the last time you went out with your pals?

I've got loads of pals.

Is that why you spend every night in the pub with Robbie, then?

And you don't.

You're divorced first thing in the morning. You live for your job.

Come on.

Stuart's right.

Fits the profile.

Loner. Obsessive.

Why, though?

What's he saying?

Denied everything.

Calammed up. If you ask me, he's not a full ticket.

Well, that's a superb piece of detection, Robbie. Thank God you're

Well, it's not easy to get into medical school.

And looking at this lot, I'd say it was his life.

So something went wrong?

Maybe.

He's got a job in the same hospital. He steals equipment to help himself feel

closer to it all.

Well, he cuts bits off bodies.

I certainly wouldn't like to be inside his head.

Some kind of fantasy, maybe.

Trying to believe he's still a doctor.

Although, why send it to a journalist if he's obsessed with medicine? Where does

that come in?

Attention, recognition.

You have to ask him.

No, you said nothing.

I suppose you two were your usual charming selves.

Yeah, well, let's see what you're charmed.

Body parts.

That's your thing.

Mr Tyler.

Gemma Kerr.

I'm a forensic scientist.

Sorry about my colleagues. I can just imagine what they were like.

Cree twins without the charm.

She's loving this. Who cares? Why don't you get some talking?

I can tell you know your way around a scalpel.

I don't know anything about this.

Mr Tyler, you can talk to those other gentlemen or you can chance it with me.

It's up to you.

There's no point denying it.

Medical training, shift pattern fit.

Right, if that's how you want it.

No.

They're wrong about this, though.

It's not such a big deal.

Come on, ask him about the package.

Why he sent it.

So you admit you took the ear?

No.

I borrowed the body.

Bodies? There's been more than one, Gemma.

Ask the right questions.

She'll get there.

Then when he's finished, I take them back.

Who's he?

I don't know. I got an anonymous message through work.

I'm sorry, Mr Tyler, but someone requests you steal a body. Someone

met. And you do it. They're already dead.

So what's in it for you?

Use me.

500 a go.

There's a disused operating theatre.

I leave them there and I collect them the next day.

Where is it?

I've not got the time.

So this isn't the hospital where you were?

What do you mean, them?

You said it would be down.

This isn't a date, son.

I'm not talking to you.

Leave her to it, Gemma.

I'll talk as she says.

You talk if I tell you.

Last chance.

How many bodies?

It's only been twice.

The ear and... The time before.

The finger. And what exactly happened to the finger?

He's a certifiable bamper, but we don't have enough to hold him.

Give me the creeps.

Sadly, Gemma, that's not a criminal offence.

I didn't mean what I said earlier.

You've got loads in your life.

No, I haven't.

Marriage failed.

No kids.

I'm working here.

At least he doesn't pretend.

We're not as bad as the boss.

Nobody's as bad as the boss.

Nope, sure.

It's all right.

He hasn't seen me before.

Has he stopped looking yet?

Yeah.

He's on the move.

If he goes any slower, we'll be walking backwards.

Oh, no.

What?

He's going to the dentist.

We'll freeze to death.

It's like pulling tea.

Something happened.

You tell us. What do you mean?

Had any more posts lately, Kenny?

Sorry you've lost me.

Before the year arrived, any other interesting packages land on your desk?

Of course not.

I would have called you. Fine.

Information received.

We've been told there was another body part sent before the ear.

I would have told you.

Never trust a hack, Kenny. Hey, how'd he send that? I've been nothing but

straight with you.

Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much anyway.

Looks like it's some sick bastard's idea of a joke.

What do you mean?

Off the record.

Of course.

We found the owner of the ear in the city mortuary.

What?

Whose was it?

Victim of a road accident.

Body was mangled. Mind you, still had his finger.

Hold on. So you're saying that there's a... A finger.

And it's from another body?

Yes, there really is one.

Which I don't bring anything to doubt.

You're sure you received nothing?

There's no way I'd keep something like that to myself.

All right.

All right, if anything else does turn up, be sure and let us know.

What now?

I can't afford to waste any more time.

Sure can get back on this. I want you in the murder.

Go back through everything and Mella and Karen Mingus.

Mongrel? No.

Mudflap? No.

McDarsh? Where?

The guy that's just passed. I'm not psychic, Jackie.

He's only just come out of his house.

Two more guesses.

Mo.

Look, down there.

Might be a sparrow.

Right, go and tell me.

Malteser. Where?

Okay, from the beginning with B.

How about boss?

How about bored witless?

Finn hasn't moved for ages.

Sure, get back down to the station. I need you back in the body part. Here,

my car.

No?

No, nothing.

I've been tailing Dr Death all day.

He's not moving.

Rarely does.

Really? Yeah, I've been you'd on.

DCI Buck.

I'll be right there.

Start the car, Jackie.

Can't make his mother can't raise her.

I thought she was staying here. She was. She got a call from somebody saying she

was safe to go back.

An uncanny habit of disturbing my meal times.

I won't apologise for the mess.

How you live is your business, Dr Finn.

Do you know why we're here?

No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me. Another of the people you threatened

is dead.

Karen Mingus.

So I'm a murderer again? After your tribunal, you made personal threats

three people.

Two of them have been murdered.

I did have an alibi for the time of Dr Mellon's death.

So where were you between one and three this afternoon?

I'm sure your colleague can answer that.

How do you mean? You were outside, weren't you?

Watching me, you and your jug -eared companion.

Well, they were following me about all afternoon.

A fact of which I'm sure you're perfectly well aware.

I'm sorry, sir. I had no idea.

He was supposed to be tailing the man, not providing him with an alibi.

But surely that's the point. He's got an alibi. He couldn't have killed Karen.

Aye, I know.

There's no way it could have been him.

Publicity, fit.

The ringers are standard. They could be from any hospital or surgery.

Yeah, well, that's a great help.

Everything all right?

Just told Karen's mother her daughter's dead.

You OK?

Who, you?

What do you mean? You're supposed to be watching Finn.

Well, if this wasn't him, Robbie, it couldn't have been.

Well, who else had a motive?

We never let him out of our sight, not even for a minute.

Nobody's doubting you, son.

If this is Finn, he's paying somebody to do it for him.

And how do we prove that?

Well, we could get Robbie to beat it out of him.

Yes, thanks, Jackie.

Well, have you got a better suggestion?

Firstly, we don't know that it's Finn. Oh, come on.

Two people dead, both of whom Finn threatens. It's got to be him.

Or we're blinded to other suspects because we're obsessed by them.

Now, I'm not saying we dismiss Finn or we widen the net.

OK.

Meanwhile, there's one woman still alive who gave evidence against him. Is Peter

Campbell due back from holiday?

Stuart, get over there. Organise protection.

If the pattern continues, she's next.

You two get over to Mellor's.

See if you can find anything new in Finn's dismissal.

I thought you might like some tea.

Oh, thank you.

Mrs Mellor, does this one open?

It's not locked.

You just have to... Right.

So you've moved back in?

Oh, I don't know how long I'll be staying.

He's left the house to medical research.

You could contest the will. Oh, I don't want to.

I was 19 when I got married.

It's about time I stood on my own feet.

There's stuff here in Finch's dismissal.

It's more detailed than the hospital records.

My husband kept some of the testimony separate.

Why was that?

To limit the damage to the hospital and make sure that Finn took all the blame.

Who else would take the blame?

Finn had an assistant, a medical student.

It was him, not Finn, who administered the drugs that killed that poor woman.

There was no mention of an assistant in the hospital records?

He was only following Finn's orders. It wasn't his fault.

Is he still at the hospital?

No. My husband talked him into leaving.

In exchange for keeping him out of it.

What's the name of this student?

It should be in there somewhere.

Here we are.

David Tyler.

Gemma, get your coat.

I take it we're not talking lunch?

Evening time's over, and grisly pranks have struck again.

Now, what's he sent this time?

We have that joy to come.

Oh.

Still got you to be squeamish.

We all have our limits.

Is that what I think it is?

Mm -hm.

Do you think this is the owner's?

What's going on?

Your editor called us, Kenny. You've had another delivery.

What is it?

You don't want to know.

Hey, it was addressed to me.

The chain came with it?

Is that...? A kidney.

Yeah. Human.

I hate to say it, but it looks fresh.

Yeah.

Really?

OK, I'll meet you there.

Something important?

A friend, Mr Tyler.

Sounds like he's been doing far worse than sending body parts through the

I'm no killer!

We know you were Finn's assistant.

We know it was you who injected Glyneth Campbell with the drug that killed her.

That wasn't my fault.

I was working to Finn.

He prescribed it! You were a top -grade medical student.

A promising career thrown away.

That's plenty of reason to kill.

I'm no murderer.

When Mellor forced you out, you lost everything.

I should never have agreed to it.

I was just a student following instructions.

Nobody could say that was my fault.

Even more reason to kill Mellor.

I didn't do it. You killed them both, didn't you?

Mellor and Karen Mingus. No.

Me leaving medicine was down to Mellor, not Miss Mingus.

She always treated me with respect.

Where were you at 2pm today?

I was... At 2pm today, Karen Mingus was murdered.

I was at work.

In the mortuary office.

We'll check.

It's the truth.

What about this... this latest little offering?

I don't know what you mean.

A small matter of a human kidney.

That's mad.

Isn't it just?

You reckon Karen Mingus was killed this afternoon?

I was at work this afternoon.

I didn't kill her.

Did you have a good holiday?

Yes, thanks.

Strange to come back to all this.

Would you like some?

I'd better not.

I brought it back with me.

Doesn't taste as nice here.

So you all right?

I'm just trying to take it in.

Do you really think Finn killed them?

We're still investigating it.

But if it was Finn, then I...

Does that mean that I'm next?

It won't come to that.

Not when we're watching you.

Is that your mother?

She was always round here.

I really miss her.

It must have been hard for you.

Fighting Finn like that.

He closed up at first.

Worried about the hospital's reputation.

But there was a journalist who picked up on it.

Got the clippings here.

He made it front page news.

Well, they had to pay attention after that.

Kenny never wrote these.

His supervisor's not available until the morning. Can't check his alibi until

then. All right, make it first thing. I'll do it.

Do you really think it's him?

He's got the perfect motive.

Well, so it's been.

Morning, sir.

Fancy a coffee?

No, I'd better not.

I'm a bit fixed already.

Robbie, come on, give me some good news.

Just spoke to Tyler's supervisor.

He was definitely working when Karen was killed.

So we have to let him go, then?

Could he have flipped out?

They're checking, but he's doing paperwork all afternoon.

So he's not our killer, either.

This is getting bloody ridiculous.

What is?

Two perfect suspects, both with cast -iron alibis.

Any ideas?

Sorry, no.

Sarah Campbell's secure, though.

Uniform are guarding her.

What's this?

Press cuttings from the journalist that championed Sarah's mother's case.

What? Niffin wrote this?

Yes.

That's strange.

At Mellor's house, he said he didn't even know who Finn was.

Never would forget a campaign like this, surely.

Yeah, but why would he lie about knowing Finn?

He's part of this.

He's got to be.

Karen Mingus was being stalked.

And then she was killed.

So what are you getting at, Robbie?

Kenny Niven's been getting body parts through the post.

You think he's next?

Stuart, get round the back.

You'd think he'd have talked to us if he was that scared.

Body parts are enough to throw anyone off kilter. That makes sense.

I never thought of him as the censor of Title III's reaction to that kidney.

Kenny!

Kenny, it's DCI Buck. Are you there?

I'm going to have to break in.

Smash it in, Stuart!

Sir? Why would he lie to us?

The post -match dated a couple of days ago.

Sent to his office, like the others.

So he must have opened it before anybody saw and then brought it here.

Nothing upstairs, sir.

It can't be gone long.

Coffee's still warm.

No sign of a struggle.

Any breaking? No, sir.

Over here.

Look at these.

Believe this.

The description the wife's hitman Redman gave us. The man he saw outside

Mellor's. Fits Kenny.

But what would Kenny's motive be? The motive linking Mellor's death and Karen

Mingus' death lies in Finn's drugs trial.

Or Kenny's newspaper article.

Made Mellor take action.

Big reason why Finn and Tyler lost their job.

What would turn Kenny Niven into a killer?

What if Tyler was sending those body parts?

Is there some kind of signal to Niven? Some kind of threat to make him kill,

maybe? Blackmail, then.

Yeah, maybe they've got something on him.

Then that'd be something pretty bloody big to make the man kill.

I mean, what would you kill for?

Well, self -protection.

Protecting your family.

Love.

It's Niven's boyfriend.

Ray.

He's missing.

We already know that.

Yeah, he's right.

Kenny was upset in the pub, said Ray was away on business.

Look at his neck chain.

I think we've just found the owner of our kidney.

Wait a minute.

Is this Sarah Campbell?

Oh, God, no.

Get round there quick, the pair of you. No one's going to kill her next.

Move!

Is she there?

Yes, sir, she's inside.

Did you tell her we were worried about her?

No. I knew she was all right. She's got a friend with her.

Tall man.

Thin with green hair?

Yeah.

In the front.

Give us a backup here, now!

Sarah! Sarah!

What is it?

Stay in there and lock the door!

Kenny?

Kenny, put it down, mate.

We'll sort this out.

No, we can't sort this.

No one's going to get you now.

It's all over.

Stay back, sir.

You're not going to kill me, are you, mate?

We go way back.

Come on.

Hand it over.

Listen to him, Robbie. Stay back.

Kenny, we know about Ray.

That's why you're doing this, isn't it?

Aye. And you're making this worse, can't you see that?

No. We're Ray's last chance.

Ray's as good as dead.

You don't believe that.

You wouldn't be here if you believed that.

Come on.

We can help you.

You know that.

Come on, Kenny.

There's been enough death.

I thought the ear and finger were Ray's.

I knew he'd be killed unless I killed him.

Must have been a shock when we told you we'd found the ear's real owner.

I couldn't believe it.

I thought I'd been conned into killing him.

I thought Ray was OK, even.

And then the kidney arrived.

The neck, Jim.

I gave Ray that.

He almost wore it.

Who's blackmailing you?

Kenny, if Ray's alive, we need to find him.

Now think, apart from us, nobody knows that Sarah Campbell's still alive.

After you killed her, what were you supposed to do?

I don't know, wait.

Why aren't you supposed to let anybody know?

So how did you know what to do then, Kenny?

When did this arrive?

Same day as the kidney.

Who's doing this?

Is it Finn?

Look, you've got to find Ray.

My life's over now, but please, find him.

Finn or Tyler, Kenny? Which one of them's got Ray?

There's no time.

Who are we looking for here, Finn or Tyler? I don't know.

You must. I don't. I never saw them.

I had no choice.

He's torturing Ray.

The Y chromosome proves it's male. So I'd say it's your man.

Is he still alive?

It's hard to say.

Testing the kidney, who he was when it was taken.

So Ray could still be somewhere and sedated? I think there's a good chance.

I mean, why bother to harvest a kidney from a living person?

Much easier if they're dead.

If I was the instigator of all this, there's no way I'd let him relive now.

He's only been kept alive while he's useful.

Well, she no longer is.

Well, let's pick them both up anyway and make them talk.

I wouldn't. If Ray's still alive and sedated, the drugs and the fluid are

to need monitoring.

It's intensive nursing.

If we bring them both in, Ray will die through neglect.

Jackie, get over to Finn. Try and flush him out.

Stuart, go back to your notes from when you tailed him.

Talk to everyone Finn spoke to.

Robbie and I will go after Tyler.

Dr Finn.

Matter of courtesy.

I wanted to let you know we'll no longer be bothering you.

Might one ask why?

Yeah, we've caught our murderer.

And he's confessed.

How did you catch him?

Yeah, well, that was the sad part.

We were a bit too late.

Unfortunately, he killed again.

Another woman.

Well, was that an apology?

No.

I wasn't the way we owed you one.

So what's he supposed to have done?

Down here, is it?

Yeah, we all thought it was a bit weird.

A real loner. So is he in trouble?

Just show us the way.

Yeah, one of the others saw him going through.

It's a shortcut to the disused wing.

It's up here and through.

Right, we'll take it from here.

I can come with you if you want. No, there's no need. Thanks for your time.

This must be where he said he brought the body.

Look, the trawling marks.

Oh, this place has given me the creeps.

We need to get in there.

Don't waste the time, Jackie.

They do remember him, but he wasn't exactly confessional with her. Yeah, but

see, it's through to the end, Stuart. I mean, the boss was right.

Go everywhere we saw Finn go.

The woman I spoke to says she's been serving him for 20 years and knows

about him. Yeah, well, it feels like I've been watching him for 20 years.

He hasn't moved a muscle.

Look, Stuart, you keep on at your end.

This must be where he did it.

Look at it, though.

It's decrepit. What do you mean?

Think.

If you took out a kidney, you'd need anaesthesia.

Ventilation.

We're in the wrong place.

Shit!

Stuart,

this is not a good time.

I think I've gone mad, though.

I'm outside Finn's dentist.

The place looks disused.

Jackie?

Yeah. Are you there, Jackie? Yeah, I'm still here.

We saw him go in, didn't we?

He was in there for nearly an hour.

Stuart, I've got to...

Dr. Finn?

Sir, it's Jackie.

I'm at Finn's.

I think you'd better get over here.

I've found David Tyler.

Hasn't just happened. He's stone cold.

I think we're setting Tyler up.

Got him to borrow those bodies till we think it was him.

Why kill him, then?

Tyler must have twigged.

Came round here to have it out, gave Finn no choice.

Got here as quick as I could.

What have we got?

Meet David Tyler, Finn's patty.

So where's Finn?

Gone to kill Ray.

Yeah, but where?

Come on, think.

Where the hell's he gone?

I think I might know.

We'll look after your patient from here, Doctor.

Robbie, he's got the rest.

Get it, boss.

Let it go.

You did a good job, Doctor.

Your patient will recover.

I'm glad.

I wouldn't be.

He can tell us exactly what you did. How you kidnapped him, drugged him,

mutilated him. But I didn't kill him.

Obviously, I will go to prison, but not as a murderer.

I think you're forgetting about David Tyler.

We found his dead body in your house.

Ah, yes. Mr Tyler arrived in quite a state.

If he chose to commit suicide, I can hardly be held responsible.

Suicide?

Not many suicides change their hair colour first.

One final touch.

I decided to use the dead body as a decoy.

I assure you, you'll find no forensic evidence to the contrary.

You see yourself as some kind of genius, don't you?

Some kind of criminal mastermind.

The truth is, you're nothing but a low -life modern scumbag, and I'll prove it.

You OK, sir?

Aye, tip -top.

Sir?

I think Finn's right.

I doubt we'll ever nail him for the other murders.

We'll get the bastard for Tyler.

So, who's for a drink?

Might even buy you a round.

Did he really just say that?

Maybe it's affected him more than we thought.

Oh, he's not going to ask again.
