Now, give this one a chance.

Try to keep an open mind, okay?

I can manage.

Fine.

Oh.

All the rooms are en suite and have wheelchair access.

There's a nurse on duty 24 hours

to ensure round-the-clock care.

Looks great.

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

Do you allow pets?

I'm afraid not.

Oh, dear, that's a problem.

No, it isn't.

You hate pets.

You flushed my goldfish down the toilet.

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

And a sun terrace,

where residents can relax, weather permitting,

enjoy afternoon tea.

They're all so old.

Isn't there anyone my age?

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

in most of our residents.

It's all in our brochure.

Except the bit about making us pay

through the nose for it.

We try to minimise costs, naturally.

Especially the food.

His dog gets better food than we do.

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

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

As mr Casey here well knows,

having lived here longer than any other resident.

You call this living?

What do you think Maggie would have said?

Let's move along, shall we?

That's right. Pretend it never happened.

Maggie newley.

A former resident.

She committed suicide.

It was all very sad.

Sad for business he means.

Maggie didn't commit suicide.

Somebody murdered her.

You won't find that in the brochure.

[Upbeat music]

Maggie newley, 72 years old.

She was a resident

at the whitemead care home for the elderly.

Don't tell us, she died of boredom.

Drug overdose.

The autopsy revealed a lethal amount of tramadol

in her body.

Tramadol?

Yes, a morphine-based painkiller.

Which Maggie was prescribed for her arthritis.

However, when it's taken in excess,

it has the effect of shutting down

the entire respiratory system.

So, the question is-

did she jump or was she pushed?

Exactly.

Now, the original police investigation

found insufficient evidence

to support any definite conclusion.

She topped herself.

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

Absolutely.

Concrete coffins, the lot of them.

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

Especially if you need full-time care.

That's what the psychiatric social workers tell you.

And relatives.

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

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

It only happened last year.

It's still unsolved, isn't it?

I think we should check it out.

We've already got a case on the go.

Yeah, but when forensics match the blood to Gillespie

then we're done.

You are still chasing that, right?

Should get the results tomorrow.

Okay.

Well, let's dig into this until then

and see if it's worth taking to strickland.

You mean this didn't come from him?

Then why are we bothering?

He's never gonna sanction this.

Yeah, what's so important about this one

all of a sudden?

My mother has decided that she wants to live there,

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

Oh.

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

There's no breach of protocol in that.

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

I'll go by myself.

Sandra!

She can't cope on her own any more.

Why? What's wrong with her?

Do you want a list?

Hello, mate.

How are you? Thanks for coming.

Brian Lane, ds Dougie Taylor.

Good of you to come and speak with us.

No problem.

Come on, sit down.

Me and Gerry go back a long way.

Best governor I ever had.

Good old days, eh?

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

I thought ucos only investigated old crimes.

So it was a crime, then?

Not in my book.

Maggie newley killed herself.

Probably accidentally but how do you prove that?

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

The investigation was a farce.

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

And the police weren't far behind.

- Daniel. - What?

Someone gave her that overdose deliberately.

What makes you so sure of that?

Because she was a Christian,

and for her suicide was a sin.

Might she have got confused

over the amount of pills she'd taken?

She could finish the times crossword

in less that 20 minutes.

Can you do that?

I'm more of a telegraph man myself.

Look, her medication was kept in a locked cabinet.

There were two keys and the nurse had one.

Yeah, we looked into the nurse, Fiona fielding.

I couldn't see it myself.

Ten years service, impeccable record.

Where's the motive?

According to your report,

there was a spare key to the drugs cabinet

in the main office.

So in theory, any one of the staff or residents

had access to it.

Yeah.

Including Maggie.

Perhaps she just needed an extra stash

in case the arthritis got too much.

Perhaps she was just trying to end it all.

Unlikely, though.

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

I wasn't thrilled when she announced it.

43 years married to my father

and suddenly she's in love with someone else.

His name's Leonard Casey.

He's a resident at the home.

Yeah, I've met Leonard.

She was so excited.

Kept showing us her engagement ring.

The ring that was stolen?

She'd been telling me for weeks

there was a thief there, that things had gone missing

we complained to the home

but they said they'd sacked a cleaner

and the stealing had stopped.

And now she's dead.

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

They just said that to shut him up.

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

So she stole her own engagement ring.

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

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

Somebody could have taken it the next day

when they found the corpse.

They being the manager.

Colin meadows, and her fiance, Leonard.

Yeah.

Plus half the other residents there.

You know, I mean I can't remember,

at the time this was considered natural causes.

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

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

A couple of grand, tops.

That's quite a lot to some people.

So you never found who took it?

Did I bust a gut on this?

No, I didn't.

I had no forensics, I had no leads,

I had a stack of other cases building up.

One of them was a serial rapist.

Now, come on, fellas.

Where are you gonna put your energies?

This is a case of accidental overdose.

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

Okay.

Yeah, well, thanks for your time.

No.

No, I'm telling you, all right?

Just back off, okay?

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

A reputation for making the rest of us

look like a piece of shit.

Look, I'm warning you.

Don't piss in my porridge.

Yeah, right.

We'll bear that in mind.

Gerry, please.

My governor, he hates me at the moment.

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

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

What happened?

I got old.

No. There's no such thing.

We got this from Maggie newley's son.

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

[Upbeat music]

We love it.

Yes, we love it.

She doesn't look like a woman

who's about to commit suicide.

Esther always wanted me and her to dance like that.

It's easy.

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

Gerry, stop it.

Working hard, I see.

Er... yes, sir.

We're looking at a new case.

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

Maggie newley, perhaps?

Whitemead residential home?

Let's take this opportunity

to review our unit's guidelines, shall we?

No, don't sit down.

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

Oh, shit.

He's wondering what ucos are doing

encroaching on his still-active investigation

into Maggie nelwy's death.

Still active?

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

You are aware of ucos's remit?

Yes, sir, of course.

You look at cold cases.

You do not interfere in anything ongoing.

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

A conscientious officer might still be working on it.

No, but I checked

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

Was there any new evidence or circumstances

to prompt your sudden involvement?

Not as such.

But there could be a competency issue.

Don't you mean a domestic one?

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

Sir, I told you that in confidence

in case I needed time off.

So you're not using valuable police resources

to try to remedy your private problems?

I did warn her.

No, sir, Maggie newley was murdered.

I'm sure of it.

Then let ds Taylor prove it.

It's not your concern.

Just ask your mother to choose a different home.

Have you had a bad day, Sandra?

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

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

I've had to stand in front of my boss

feeling humiliated by that fact

that everything he was accusing me of is true.

What have you done?

Aside from jeopardising my career, you mean?

I lay my job on the line

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

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

and your precious career?

Just like your father.

Oh, for goodness sake!

Why are you doing this?

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

Bollocks. Why really?

Is it some kind of payback, is it?

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

You can be very childish at times.

Oh, and insisting on going here

to this place where someone was murdered,

that's maturity, is it?

You don't know that for sure.

I do.

I'm certain of it.

So, you are not moving into a place

where the person who did it is probably still there.

Oh, this means you care, does it?

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

Because if anybody's gonna have the pleasure

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

[Upbeat music]

We've gotta do something.

If neither strickland or her mum'll budge,

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

A kebab?

I'm hungry but you know what I mean.

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

Well we could always investigate the case unofficially.

There's a point.

Strickland needn't know.

He will when the home complains.

They won't want this thing reopened.

Well, what if they don't know either?

We could go in undercover.

Work the case from the inside.

That's brilliant.

Yeah, Jack goes in as a resident-

hang on.

What do you mean Jack can go in?

Any one of us would fit in there.

Don't flatter yourselves.

All right. Brian, then.

No.

But you've done undercover work before.

I'm a married man, Gerry.

I can't go in there.

Esther was very unsettled last time.

It's got to be one of you.

It can't be me.

I've gotta play the upset relative,

taking his poor old dad into a home.

His dad?

You couldn't pass for my son.

It's more believable than the other way round.

Look, look.

You go in and I can visit you.

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

and the residents.

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

You're taking the piss.

All right, I tell you what.

You and I can toss for it, right.

Whoever loses goes in.

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

Spin it, heads.

Sorry, Gerry.

Oh, well, maybe you can.

You pay for him.

[Gerry laughs]

All right, grandad.

Daddy.

Bogs.

Here you go.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

About the house.

What do you mean?

Selling the house.

You must have been relying on it as an inheritance.

No, course not.

It's galling, I know,

using it to pay for my own survival.

I'm sure there'll be something left.

I don't rely on anything.

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

Your father's too.

Actually, I learned that from you.

[Phone buzzes]

Hi, Jack.

What is it?

Can't it wait till tomorrow?

All right. Okay.

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

I've got you.

[Sombre music]

So what's actually wrong with her?

Ménière's disease

that can be nasty, can that?

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

[Sombre music]

Call if you need anything.

[Sombre music]

How's she feeling?

Better.

She just needs to rest.

And what about you?

Right.

Undercover.

And whose stupid idea was that?

His.

We thought you'd jump at it.

It solves all your problems.

Really?

Okay. So, what do I tell strickland?

That we're working on the Gillespie case.

There's been complications.

Then Jack takes leave and moves straight into the home.

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

Actually, that wouldn't be a problem.

Because they've been desperate for people

since the incident.

[Gerry] See? I told you.

So what if you do find something out?

What, then?

We can't use the information-

we've sussed that as well.

Dougie Taylor.

What do you mean?

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

Like hell he is.

We get a result,

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

And why would he agree to do that?

Because he needs it.

Believe me, if we give him any credit,

he'll grab it with both hands.

It's win-win for everybody.

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

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

I'm sorry.

Oh, well.

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

you wouldn't have told me,

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

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

[Upbeat music]

Matilda?

Is that you?

Oh, it is you.

Esther...

Oh, hello.

This is Simon hall, Brian.

His father's a di hall.

Di Martin hall.

Captain of the metropolitan police sprint relay team.

1979-1983.

I knew he'd taken it.

He had.

I'm sorry.

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

I was the best rider on that team.

Which undermined his leadership authority,

so he engineered my removal.

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

He's an odious man.

- Brian! - Odious.

Di hall's got throat cancer.

He's in hospital.

He's truly sorry, mr Lane.

[Sombre music]

I'm requesting some leave.

Personal reasons.

I'd like a week off, effective immediately.

And we're requesting this item.

It's to aid with our inquiries.

Into the Gillespie case.

Have we heard from forensics?

No, not yet.

Er, the paperwork's gone astray.

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

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

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

Yeah, you can take the week off.

As long as you're careful.

Anything else?

No, no.

Thank you.

[Car engine revs]

There you go.

The bates motel.

Just don't take a shower, eh.

[Gerry laughs]

Morning. This is my father, Jack halford.

Welcome to whitemead, mr halford.

I'm Colin meadows, the manager here.

May I give you a hand?

I'm fine, thank you.

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

Come on.

Turn that frown upside down.

Dr Brian Lane.

I'm mr halford's reiki practitioner.

I'll need to speak with your medical staff.

Um, yes, of course.

I'll take you to nurse fielding right away.

Mr halford, this way to the lift.

I'll show you to your room.

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

- Ow! - Sorry.

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

Oh, right.

In case a thief is lurking about.

And here's a designer watch.

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

How much was it really?

A fiver off a market stall in Thailand.

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

All right.

May I come in?

Of course you can, my love, yes.

I'm Gerry and this is my father Jack.

Pru Sanders.

I live at number 5 opposite.

I've brought you a little welcome present.

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

if you'd like a cup of tea.

He'd love one, wouldn't you?

Isn't that a lovely gesture, daddy?

I've got to unpack.

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

you can do it later.

Remember what the doctor said.

Carpe diem.

Seize the day.

And the biscuit.

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

Actually, I have quite a selection of teas.

I order them especially.

See you in a minute.

[Pru chuckling]

- Delicious. - Thank you.

Nice, eh?

That murderer we're looking for.

Yeah?

I think it's going to be me.

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

- Hi, Jack. - Hello, Jack.

Did she allow you to unpack,

or grab you before you came through the door?

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

it means she wants to have sex with you.

It does not mean that.

Oh, no, no, I was forgetting.

It's Alice here.

As someone once told Leonard he was amusing,

and, unfortunately, he believed them.

Now, watch frank.

He pretends he's got Parkinson's

so that he can look at the cards.

All lies.

Now, it's straight draw poker.

Do you know how to play it?

Right, ante up.

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

[Upbeat music]

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

Thank you very much.

Mine, I think.

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

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

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

I've had a visit from the police,

they're still interested in the case.

What did you tell them?

Mr newley, please.

Have you found out something important?

Nobody's interviewed me in months.

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

Get off!

Don't hurt me, please.

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

but it's nothing to do with me.

He's not going to hurt you, Jack.

Are you, Daniel?

No, just the person who killed my mother.

All right.

That's it.

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

Welcome to whitemead.

He did what?

What the hell were you thinking?

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

Do you want your kids visiting you in prison now?

Is that it?

Mrs newley.

Go on.

Go and play now outside.

I can't do this.

I can't deal with this.

He had a breakdown.

Did he tell you that?

After Maggie died, he just fell apart.

Stopped working.

I scaled back, that's all.

You went on sick leave for months.

It's been a nightmare.

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

The school we wanted to send our kids to

we can't afford now.

He's the earner.

I'm only a sales rep.

I do my bit.

At work today, were you?

Cheers.

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

When did Mary die?

Nine years ago.

She'd been ill a long time.

A car accident.

That's hard.

How long were you together?

- We still are. - Yes.

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

For ever.

You can't look at anyone else.

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

I was 68 when I met her.

I came here, I thought my life was over,

but it was just beginning.

I'd found my one.

My good friend, my life.

[Sombre music]

You're so lucky.

Having a child to treasure, as well.

God, I envy you that.

What?

Your son, Gerry.

Oh, yes, of course.

Gerry's always been a great comfort to me.

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

He's settling in, getting to know everyone.

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

Yeah, I can see that.

My mother liked him after 30 seconds.

And there's another resident there, pru,

who Jack reckons is holding a torch for Leonard.

Ah, straightforward jealousy, then.

Could be, couldn't it?

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

Maybe that was "swing for him".

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

Bye.

I liked who after 30 seconds?

[Soft music]

If dad had been in love with someone else,

what would you have done?

I'd have faded into the background,

hoping that one day she'd notice

her other parent loved her too.

[Soft music]

[Kelly] Get off me!

I'm warning you, just stay away.

Do you hear?

Next time I'll call the police.

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

Drug addicts.

They try and steal people's medicines, valuables.

Don't worry.

They won't get in here with me around.

Good night.

[Door knocking]

Yes? Who is it?

Just checking you're okay.

I'm fine, thank you.

Ring the buzzer if you need me.

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

Right.

- Night, mr halford. - Good night.

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

Dunno.

Could be a young girl, drug addict.

Did he give a description?

Grungy-looking teenager.

Apparently they hang around there all the time.

- Morning. - Morning.

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

Yeah.

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

She needs a good workout.

Matilda's the bike, right?

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

[Bicycle brake locks creaking]

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

On the house.

Oil for my brake blocks?

What bloody good's that gonna do?

Hello, Billy.

How's business?

I pay my vat.

No, the other one.

The none-vat one.

Where you receive stolen goods from drug addicts

and sell them on for a profit.

That's slander, that is.

I'm a respectable businessman.

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

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

Do you know what a tracer is, Billy?

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

There are no phones in here except this one,

and it's bought and paid for.

What's the ringtone on that?

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

[Phone rings]

♪ We are the champions! ♪

♪ We are the champions of the world ♪

Bollocks.

No. No, that's not her.

No.

He got the phone off a junkie prostitute called Kelly.

She brings him loads of stuff, apparently.

Mostly jewellery.

Old people's things, he said.

What about Maggie's engagement ring?

Nah.

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

He's admitted everything else.

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

[Billy] Yeah, that's her.

We've got an ID.

Her name's Kelly meadows.

Meadows?

Isn't that the manager's name?

Could just be a coincidence.

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

Oh, Christ.

Quick, get Billy in my office.

Close the blinds, quick!

Thank you.

Mum, what are you doing here?

I was feeling so lonely.

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

I didn't think you'd mind.

You should know better, this is a police station.

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

I'm sorry, sir.

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

Although, given the circumstances,

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

I'd like to sit down for a minute.

I feel a bit dizzy.

Perhaps a little water?

Yes, of course.

Allow me.

[Upbeat music]

Co-operate.

-Don't you start- -shut up.

I have shut up.

- Bastards. - Don't!

[Upbeat music]

Seems rather empty here.

Where is everyone?

Out.

Interviewing witnesses.

We wanna to make sure we have a solid case.

I thought the Gillespie matter was nearly solved,

just a question of forensics.

Still waiting for confirmation.

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

He'd have fled the country by now.

You make a very handsome couple,

if you don't mind my saying.

Is there a mrs strickland?

Erm... no, sadly.

I'm divorced.

Oh, that is sad.

Any children?

Okay, that's enough.

I've gotta get my mother home.

Anything else, sir?

No. Carry on.

Mrs Pullman.

Mum!

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

Hello, mrs p.

Gerry standing, lovely to meet you.

- Hello. - Hello, I'm Billy

come here.

Brian Lane.

Good luck with your ears.

Oh, thank you.

Right.

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

You could at least say thank you.

For what?

Saving the situation.

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

Now that I've embarrassed him into leaving,

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

And embarrassing me in the process,

that was just the icing, wasn't it?

Yes.

Gerry, I've found her.

She's touting in bartly street.

You wanna bring your car around?

[Soft music]

Fancy a little ride?

You've got to ask me what you want first

or you might be a cop.

Me, a copper?

No!

He is a copper.

[Dougie groans]

[Upbeat music]

Not so daft now, is it?

[Upbeat music]

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

come on girl, lets get her.

[Upbeat music]

[Brian groans]

[Brian yells]

[Brian screaming]

- [Brian yells] - [Kelly screams]

Get off me!

Get off me, you fat perv,

you're hurting my arm!

Get off!

What have you been doing now?

You should see the other bloke.

He tried to kill me on that bike.

Look at my bruises!

We've all seen it.

It's okay, calm down.

How's Lance Armstrong?

Concussion, broken collar bone.

He'll be fine.

What's she saying?

She's admitted stealing from the home.

Colin meadows is her dad,

and according to her, he helps.

Mostly with drugs, but sometimes with valuables.

Including Maggie's ring?

No. She was cursing about that.

Wanted to know how much it was worth.

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

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

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

At least I stopped her doing that.

How long have you been doing this?

On and off about a year.

I've got a pass key for the rooms

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

it was easy.

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

No, I just used that as a cover.

Oh, I stole from her as well.

Tramadol,

it's a morphine derivative.

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

Did you also steal Maggie newley's ring?

No.

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

then later it wasn't.

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

Yes.

Yeah, that's what you told me.

I didn't kill her.

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

I'd never have harmed her.

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

Sorry, I don't understand.

Nor did I, but...

She said Maggie's pills were the best,

which didn't make sense because they were the same

as the ones I'd always been getting for her

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

Well, then, Maggie died.

I was more upset than anyone.

She was giving me the one thing I wanted.

A happy daughter.

Tramadol.

It comes in three doses.

50mg, 100mg and 150mg.

They were probably the 150 tablets.

But Maggie was prescribed 50mg,

so what was she doing with 150?

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

Esther.

150mg would be three times more

than her body could tolerate.

She was prescribed these four times a day.

Triple the dosage would kill her in no time.

Someone swapped the pills.

It looks that way

and it must have been someone with access to the tramadol

with the higher dosage.

Two, please, and then we're done.

It takes 17 muscles to smile, mr halford,

and over 34 to scowl.

I like to keep fit.

[Nurse chuckles]

Yes, I'm being careful.

Which is more than I can say for him.

What's he doing?

It's not as bad as it looks.

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

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

Oh, hold on.

We made a copy of Colin's pass key,

thought it might come in handy.

Will it fit the nurse's office?

Yeah, should do, yeah.

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

What are you thinking?

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

A lot of the residents are prescribed it,

including pru Sanders,

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

Which gives her both the means and the motive.

Exactly.

Tell you what.

While I'm here,

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

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

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

This won't involve your fabled powers of seduction,

will it?

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

[Door knocking]

Yes.

Hiya, I'm sorry to bother you

but there's a bit of an emergency.

Oh?

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

He's in a terrible state.

Can you have a quick look at him?

Yes, of course.

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

Yeah.

Won't be a minute, dad.

[Upbeat music]

[Man] Excuse me.

Mr halford junior.

Gerry, please, Fiona.

Nurse fielding.

Where's dr Lane? You said he was-

all right, I own up,

I told a little fib.

What?

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

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

Have you been drinking?

Anyone with a pair of pins like yours

can see off these old-timers.

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

Mr halford, please.

Gerry, and it's my pleasure.

[Upbeat music]

[Printer buzzes]

Come on, come on.

[Upbeat music]

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

[Dramatic music]

[Upbeat music]

[Crowd applauds]

Fantastic.

[Man] Bravo!

Nurse fielding, a star is born.

Oh, don't be so silly, Leonard.

May I?

That's quite enough.

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

One more time!

- Last time. - Shall we?

[Upbeat music]

I think she's broken my foot.

I've got to hand it to you,

I never thought I would see that.

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

Count basie, desi arnaz,

my dad used to play it all the time.

And sing.

Good old crooner, my dad.

All the old favourites, lili marleen,

"ev'ry time we say goodbye".

My Maggie used to love those.

He used to sing to my mum.

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

He had a great voice, my old dad.

Let's put him on the spot.

I hear that you're a great crooner.

What?

Um... er...

What's the matter?

Di hall.

Do you want to go and see him?

No, I don't.

Why should I?

Come on, dad, you know this one.

What?

This is "you made me love you".

You know that.

[Soft piano music]

[Machine beeps]

[Sombre music]

I just don't think she did it

and I wanna follow another lead.

What's the point?

Pru takes tramadol, 150mg.

Jack found the ring in her room.

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

Has she confessed?

Well, no.

But Jack's gonna sit in on the interview,

try and coax it out of her.

Unless you wanna go?

No.

We're gonna do something else.

Come on.

It was wrong, I know.

Taking her ring when she was dead.

But she never liked it.

Leonard chose it for her

and she was a bit cross about that,

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

Does he know you like him?

[Soft music]

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

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

Even as a consolation prize.

But no.

I didn't kill her, Jack.

I took her ring, yes.

I liked wearing it in my room

and I could pretend that he'd chosen me.

But I didn't kill her.

Maggie was my friend.

[Soft music]

We've arrested someone from the home,

one of the residents.

So she was murdered.

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

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Yes, thank you.

It's such a relief.

I can imagine.

When will we know who it was

and have you charged them yet?

Yes, someone has been charged,

although, at the moment,

only with the theft of the engagement ring.

We're still gathering evidence for the murder.

But we do now know how it was done.

The person who killed Maggie

swapped the tramadol pills in her cabinet

for those of a much much higher dosage.

So it was someone with access to tramadol in that form

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

You are talking about the nurse?

Or someone who visited regularly

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

I've got to put my mother into a home

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

They're not for everyone.

No wonder you couldn't afford

to send your kids to private school

while you were still paying for Maggie.

Hell of a sacrifice, though.

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

Yes. I did.

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

and you still couldn't afford the fees

because of Daniel's breakdown?

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

and then you will be able to afford it.

As long as he never finds out

who really killed Maggie, of course.

We're just stating facts.

Now, the company you work for makes tramadol.

That is fact, right?

If you really wanna find out who murdered your mother,

ask Kim.

She was killing us.

Couldn't you see that?

She'd had her life.

We're your family now.

Why couldn't we have come first?

Just once.

She was my mother.

Our kids are in a sink school

where there are knife fights in the playground

and I can't give them a better future

because grandma needs somewhere to live?

She could have come here, lived with us.

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

with her precious Leonard.

And by the way, could we fork out

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

I'll get uniform.

She died without pain.

I made sure of that.

She was happy and at peace thinking everyone loved her.

Which I did, Daniel.

I did.

I just love my children more.

[Soft music]

It was just as we imagined.

What did you call them?

God's waiting room.

It was that all right.

Awful.

A mausoleum to the living dead.

People with all life crushed out of them.

No, this is better.

This is where I belong.

[Soft music]

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

You don't have to move into whitemead immediately.

You know what's odd about this place?

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

There's no history of us.

No photos, I've checked.

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

You went into my bedroom?

Not even one of your father.

Now that did surprise me.

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

I've never understood that.

That ability to be alone.

That pride in your independence, that shuts everyone out.

Even your own family.

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

but we've just moved further apart.

Until, in the end, you were him.

Another police officer rejecting me all over again.

I am trying, mum.

I know.

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

You can come and visit me when you want.

Yeah, yeah, I will.

I promise.
