Whoa.

[Man] What?

[Machine whirring]

Step back.

[Ominous music]

[Steve] Bit of a mess, eh?

[Dan] Well, the ground was collapsed.

Why put a cemetery in a sinkhole in the first place?

Well, I doubt they had radar detection back then.

That's why I'm going to get cremated.

Rather be scattered in the wind

than stuck in some hole somewhere.

I'm donating my body to medical science.

They'll be thrilled to bits.

Thank you.

Murder weapon, found underneath the coffin.

Traces of blood and hair on the marble.

I'm expecting forensics to confirm that it belongs

to this bloke, Jason henway.

Herbalist and co-owner of nature's zenith,

holistic health centre in soho.

Hey, I've been there.

Had a lovely shiatsu.

He was bludgeoned to death on February 27th 2008,

between eight and 10 pm,

found the next morning in his office

by his business partner, Evan Langley.

Now, the place was a mess,

but the only thing that seemed to be missing

was the bust.

Whose coffin was it under?

Gwen Morris.

One of mr henway's clients.

She died of cancer the week before he was murdered.

Can it be a coincidence?

The murder weapon turning up in her grave?

The funeral was the morning after Jason was killed,

so the open grave would have been there the night before.

[Steve] So the killer might have known that.

Known they could hide the weapon here.

[Sasha] You all right, Ted?

Jez watts' grave. I knew I'd been here before.

He was shot on a job.

2003.

Do you need to take a minute?

No, I'm fine.

Let's get back.

[Sombre music]

Ted, come on.

[Sasha] Angela Morris.

Gwen Morris' daughter, science journalist

and vocal critical of nature's zenith.

[Dan] She blamed Jason for her mother's death.

[Sasha] Posted a vitriolic blog entry

against the company the day before her mother's funeral.

Says that Jason persuaded her mom to abandon chemo.

The company issued a cease and desist.

That night, Jason was killed.

Sounds pretty watertight to me.

Unfortunately, so was her alibi.

She was in a bar all night, vouched for by witnesses.

At a bar the night before her mother's funeral.

Nice touch.

Where I'm from, you'd be in the bar all week.

Any excuse for a piss-up.

Who needs an excuse?

Why was her blog post still online

if she'd been given a cease and desist?

Good question.

And what are all these inscriptions?

It's phrenology.

What's that when it's at home?

Would you like me to enlighten you?

I live for that, Danny.

It's the belief that, by measuring indentations

in the skull, you can learn something about

someone's personality or character.

Like astrology, but with noggins?

Well, more or less, yes.

It was respected scientific theory,

back in the 19th century.

So, every lump and bump?

[Steve] How lumpy's your head?

[Ted] Quite a few.

[Steve] Mine's pretty smooth.

What do you reckon that means?

Oh, am I interrupting something?

Phrenology session, apparently.

Yeah, could you two stop fiddling your heads, please?

It's weird.

What brings you here?

Sorry to interrupt.

Can I have a quick word?

Erm...

[Fiona] I haven't said I'll take it.

What have you said?

I said I'd think about it.

They're giving me a couple of days.

Well, it's...

I mean, it's...

Congratulations.

Head of your own department, that's an amazing thing.

And yet you look as white as a sheet.

Well, it's just...

I know.

What about us?

Aberdeen is not around the corner.

I don't even know if I want the job.

But you're tempted.

[Phone ringing]

Sorry.

I think it's work. I'd better take it.

We'll talk tonight.

Of course.

Hello?

Yeah.

[Gentle music]

[Steve] You all right?

You were very quiet on the way over here.

Can't a man be alone with his thoughts?

He can be alone with his thoughts,

but not when he's stuck in a traffic jam

for an hour and a half with a pal.

Sorry for not being sufficiently entertaining.

Don't worry. You weren't entertaining at all.

Isn't she a freelance journalist?

I thought they worked from home.

Not necessarily.

Probably right.

She might be one of those posers

that sits in a cafe all day,

hogging the-

Angela Morris?

Where have you been?

If you don't mind my asking.

I went for a walk in the park.

I go every morning, otherwise I'd go mad,

holed up all day, writing.

Hope that doesn't make me too much of a poser.

What is this about?

[Dan] Jason henway.

I went through all this the first time.

I wasn't anywhere near nature's zenith that night.

[Steve] Your mother's funeral was the day after

Jason henway was killed.

Police had the courtesy to wait until I'd buried her

before they hauled me off for questioning.

So the grave was open the night before?

Why are you asking me about my mother's grave?

Did you notice anything unusual that day?

Anyone near the burial site?

Is this about the sinkhole?

[Dan] You've heard about it, then?

Well, I got a phone call this morning.

[Steve] We found the murder weapon in your mother's grave.

[Dan] Any idea how it got there?

Sounds like someone's idea of a sick joke.

I don't think it was a joke.

I think it was a calculated decision.

Dispose of the murder weapon where the killer believed

it would never again see the light of day.

You think I put it there?

[Steve] We think the killer put it there.

I didn't do it.

I read the blog post you wrote

the day Jason henway was killed.

Strong stuff.

I was angry.

[Dan] And it was your mother's free choice not to-

her cancer was treatable. Do you understand?

She could have survived.

Even so.

Even so, she was taken in by an anti-science ideologue

who believed in magic rather than medicine.

And you're still angry?

Yes, of course I am.

And not just at Jason henway.

He's just the tip of the iceberg.

I mean, look at this.

"Parents win the right to deny their daughter's

treatment for leukaemia because they would rather

go for so-called alternative medicine."

Spoiler alert; It doesn't have a happy ending.

And this; "Another outbreak of measles

because some parents believe that vaccinations

are the root of all evil."

So, you're somewhat of an activist.

Before my mother's illness,

I wrote mostly about physics.

But when I saw her being lured away from treatment

that could have saved her life-

[Steve] That's when you started writing your blog.

It's become something of a-

crusade?

Campaign.

[Steve] Worth shedding blood over?

I might have been angry at Jason henway.

I may even have hated him.

But for you to suggest that I could kill him is...

I hope you find who did it.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to

get back to writing my article on quantum chromodynamics.

Unless you want to help.

String theory and black hole thermodynamics

are more my area of expertise, but

thanks for asking.

[Evan] This is where the magic happens.

We produce all our own herbal remedies on site,

distribute them to our centres around the country.

100% natural and organic.

Korean red ginseng.

It's good for the old...

Fine, thanks.

Why didn't you pursue the cease and desist?

We had enough bad publicity as it was

after what happened to Jason.

Didn't think it was a good idea to get involved in

a prolonged legal battle with a journalist

with a chip on her shoulder.

So you left her post online trashing your business?

Sometimes, the more you try to hide something,

the more people end up knowing about it.

The Streisand effect, it's called,

after Barbara.

I was right in the end. The whole thing blew over.

Business is booming.

We just opened our fourth treatment centre

up in Manchester.

Not that it's just about the money.

[Sasha] Was there any merit to Angela Morris' accusations?

None at all.

Neither of us would have ever dissuaded clients

from pursuing conventional treatments

for severe conditions. It's unethical.

So, it was entirely her mother's decision.

Exactly.

Which is why my first reaction when I saw the blog post

was to order the cease and desist.

I wasn't trying to provoke her.

I felt for her.

She just lost her mother to an awful disease.

But I couldn't let her slander the business.

All we're trying to do here is help people.

She kills him for it.

You seem very sure about that.

Who else could it be?

You just said you found his phrenology bust

under her mother's grave.

I would have thought that was enough to arrest her.

Did Jason practise phrenology?

That was more of a side interest.

He thought it was going to make a comeback,

but none of his clients would go for it.

So, when he died, presumably you took over

the whole business.

I see what you're doing there.

Do you? What's that?

Suggesting I might have had something to do

with Jason's murder.

Yeah.

You're very clever. You saw right through me.

[Sasha] Not answering the question, though.

Yes.

I took over the entire business,

rubbing my hands together and cackling as I did it.

You think this is funny?

Sorry, but I find what you're trying to suggest

quite offensive.

Jason wasn't just a business partner; He was a friend.

Did he have any other enemies,

apart from Angela Morris?

You spoken to his brother yet?

The good doctor.

No, why?

Let's just say him and Jason had different worldviews.

He started the business with us,

with his wife Rebecca.

Left three years later to pursue other interests.

What sort of interests?

You'll see.

Mr Douglas henway, mrcs, general surgeon.

Statement says he was on his way to Heathrow airport

on the night of his brother's murder.

[Sasha] Mr henway.

Dci Sasha Miller.

This is Ted case.

Unsolved crime and open case squad.

What's it about?

[Ted] Your brother.

Of course.

I'm afraid it'll have to wait.

I've just been called out.

In fact, if you don't mind,

a police escort would be very helpful.

Unfortunately, that's not what-

it's a matter of life and death.

The Payton clinic. Thank you.

[Tense music]

Is it just me, or is everyone involved

with this case so far

a bit of an arsehole?

I don't even know if it's still...

Got it.

Let's hope it still works.

[Sasha] Oh, ye of little faith.

[Police siren]

How long since he was pronounced clinically dead?

14 minutes.

You've given him propofol?

Yes.

[Douglas] His BP's a bit low.

Have you administered vasodepressor?

Let's up the dose.

I thought you said he was dead.

Clinically, yes.

I prefer the term De-animated.

Think of him as between life cycles.

What's going on?

He's a cryopatient.

As in cryopreservation.

Once we've got him cool enough,

his blood will be replaced with a cryoprotectant

to eliminate ice crystals.

He'll be cooled to sub-zero temperatures

with liquid nitrogen,

then transported to a permanent storage facility

at cryo longevity, California.

Well, at least they have nice weather.

It's easy to mock what you don't understand.

[Sasha] You got us to give you a police escort

for a man that you knew was already dead.

He's not dead.

[Sasha] I should charge you wasting police time.

It's not a waste of time, inspector.

It's exactly the opposite.

So, some time in the future, you'll thaw him out

and bring him back to life?

When scientific advances make it possible, yes.

Seems like science fiction to me.

Excuse me.

What we do is answer a universal human need.

To quell the fear of death.

To offer a hope of eternal life.

To be reunited with your loved ones,

should they undergo the process too.

Others look to religion. We look to science.

However speculative.

You might want to consider the process yourself,

what with your advancing years.

One lifetime's enough, thanks.

[Sasha] Like I said, we want to talk to you

about your brother.

You have new information.

Does the name Gwen Morris mean anything to you?

No.

[Sasha] She was one of your brother's clients.

Died a week before he was murdered, of cancer.

He never mentioned her.

What does she have to do with his murder?

Were you ever informed the type of weapon

that was used in the attack?

It was a marble bust. The only thing that was missing.

It was found in Gwen Morris' grave.

How did it get there?

That's what we're trying to find out.

[Ted] What about Angela Morris, Gwen's daughter?

Did he mention her?

You think it was his client's daughter?

[Ted] Well, she blamed him for her mother's death.

Blamed him? Jason wouldn't harm a fly.

She didn't see it that way.

My brother was the most compassionate man

I ever knew.

For someone to kill him,

it was unthinkable.

Were you close?

He was my brother. I loved him.

He's almost ready.

Right, I need to get him into theatre, if you excuse me.

Thank you.

We're in la-la land.

[Sasha] "We're confident that future advances

in medical science will one day make today's diseases

a thing of the past,

giving us the potential to defrost and cure

our cryopatients, restoring health, vitality,

and longevity."

Reanimating dead bodies in the future?

[Dan] It's not as far-fetched as it sounds,

although there are huge, possibly insurmountable

scientific hurdles to overcome.

Sounds like a load of old bollocks to me.

The world's overpopulated enough, if you ask me,

without people living forever.

Coffee and donuts, my treat.

Pat will not be happy.

What about your low gi diet?

You only live once.

That's my point.

Christ.

What is it?

I've lost...

Your phone?

[Ted] No.

No, my cigarette case.

Your lucky cigarette case?

Yeah, it lives in this pocket.

[Sasha] Yeah, well you can look for it later.

We've got work to do.

And those can wait as well.

[Dan] Well, I confirmed Angela Morris' alibi.

The barman, now the manager, said she was there all night.

Didn't speak to anyone, sat at the bar, drank alone.

That rules her out, then.

I don't know. She's got a real bee in her bonnet.

[Sasha] Then how's she managed to be

in two places at once?

[Steve] Have a look at this.

I've been looking over the accounts

for nature's zenith, right?

Yeah.

We've spotted some irregularities.

Yeah.

Dci Miller?

Yes.

Cynthia kline, assistant commissioner.

Thought it was about time we met.

Yes. How are you settling in?

Very well, thank you.

So, you are the ucos boys.

[Ted] Long time since anybody's called me a boy.

Sad to grow old, but nice to ripen.

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Bridget bardot.

Of course.

She was more than just a pretty face, you see, Danny.

Yes. I'm sure you're intimately familiar with her oeuvre.

I spent my youth pouring over her oeuvre.

[Ted] Try saying that on a skinful.

[Steve] Believe me, I have.

I'm sorry about this.

Don't apologise. I love it.

Beats the stuffy old suits I have to work with.

It's a pleasure meeting you all.

Robert is frequently singing your praises.

Yes, the dac's away at the moment, but he will be back.

Yes, I know.

I came to see you.

Shall we?

Congratulations on your recent coursework results.

Really impressive.

Someone's keeping an eye.

Part of my job.

Talent scout.

[Sasha] Thank you.

Of course, I didn't come here

to shower you in compliments.

Of course not.

I came to discuss new opportunities.

Such as?

[Cynthia] Career advancement.

I assume that's something you're interested in.

Yes, of course.

I'm setting up a new task force

to investigate honour killings,

and I'd like you to lead it.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Yes would be a good start.

I'm flattered.

But?

[Sasha] I'm not sure there is one.

But, well, I'd like some time to think about it.

[Cynthia] Of course, of course.

But just so you know,

it comes with a job promotion.

Detective superintendent.

As far as I'm concerned, the more women we have

in senior positions, the better.

Couldn't agree more.

Then I look forward to hearing from you soon.

You reopened a new case today.

Yes. A sinkhole opened up underneath a cemetery.

A murder weapon was found in one of the graves.

Sounds intriguing. Keep me updated.

Love to see what your boys can do.

Absolutely will do.

Keep up the good work.

So, forensics confirmed the DNA on the bust

was a match for Jason henway.

What's all that about?

Congratulations.

What do you mean?

She offered you a job, didn't she?

How do you know that?

She offered you a job?

Her reputation precedes her,

and I would tread carefully if I were you.

Meaning what?

I've heard she's a bit of a game player,

unlikely to offer anything without strings attached.

So, you're just going to get up and go,

leave us with god knows who in charge?

Abandonment issues, Steve?

No, lousy boss issues, Danny.

I've worked for a few in my time.

You did strike gold with me, that's true.

[Steve] When does she want you to start?

I don't know. I haven't decided

if I'm going to take it yet.

Well, I'd give it some thought.

Don't encourage her, for god's sake.

What were you going to tell me about those accounts?

It's the pattern of the company's profits.

There's dramatic peaks and troughs.

But it might not be anything.

If you ask me, it's cut and dried.

Angela Morris, weapon in her mother's grave, strong motive.

Unless, of course, the killer planted the bust

in her mother's grave.

Maybe they weren't trying to hide it,

but they wanted it found the next morning

to incriminate Angela.

And who better to frame than the woman

who publicly hated the victim?

It's got to be worth exploring, at least.

Good work.

You go and see Evan Langley.

We'll go back and see Douglas henway.

I want this case solved as soon as possible.

Why the sudden urgency?

[Sasha] Think of it as an efficiency drive.

That'll look good for your new best friend.

There's nothing wrong with excelling at your job, Steve.

I excel every day. Have a donut.

There's more to life than coffee and donuts.

There is?

[Tense music]

[Gentle classical music]

Mr henway.

[Douglas] It's sort of a part-time role.

I coordinate the rapid response team

for cryo longevity in the UK.

A lot more rapid with the police escort,

wasn't it?

I don't think I properly thanked you for that.

Let me turn this down.

It's my wife's favourite.

I always have it on when I'm gardening.

[Sasha] What happened to her?

Heart attack.

Barely a week before my brother's murder.

Dreadful week for you.

First your wife, then your brother.

It's my hope that one day,

she and I will be together again.

So, she's-

of course.

I was accompanying her cryostat to the airport

the night that Jason was killed.

You said that you loved your brother,

but that didn't really answer my question, did it?

Were you close?

You've been talking to Jason's business partner.

J and I disagreed about practically everything.

Most of the time, we negotiated the differences

by simply not talking about it.

Whatever our disagreements, I loved him.

And what were the disagreements about?

When we started the business,

I was something of a believer.

Over the years, my scepticism grew,

and when Evan and Jason started steering the company

in a direction I wasn't comfortable with,

energy therapies, that sort of nonsense,

I left.

Your wife, too.

[Douglas] Shortly afterwards.

And then we discovered the transhumanist movement

and cryopreservation.

And the rest is history.

I don't see what this has to do with my brother's murder.

[Dan] Well, anything can end up being important, so...

I'll tell you who you should be looking into.

His partner.

Why do you say that?

[Douglas] When we started the company,

we all agreed to take a modest salary

and channel the profits back into the business,

and when we'd started to make a healthy turnover,

we'd give a large proportion to charity.

Jason's idea.

He may have been misguided in some of his beliefs,

but he had a social conscience.

The most compassionate man you ever knew.

Exactly.

He wanted the company to be a force for good in the world.

A year after his murder,

I saw Evan Langley driving in the west end

in a brand-new BMW.

It may mean nothing at all.

But it wouldn't surprise me if,

after my brother's murder,

the company had a sudden change in ethos.

[Evan] There's nothing wrong with the odd luxury.

Think Jason would agree?

According to his brother, he wanted to give

most of your profits to charity.

Jason was an idealist.

And you're not?

I'm a pragmatist.

Well, maybe you can help me understand these figures.

You started this business in 2003.

Profits were good but not exceptional.

And then in 2006, after Douglas henway and his wife left,

profits just shot up.

Why was that?

Sudden demand for colonics?

Have you tried colonic hydrotherapy?

It leaves you feeling energised the whole day.

Just answer the question.

Jason wanted to show his brother

that we could do fine without him.

Poured money into a marketing campaign,

started doing loyalty cards, discounts.

It worked.

What about 2008? Profits sank.

Of course it did.

We'd just had a murder on the premises.

Then, a year later,

they spiked back up again. Why was that?

A marketing campaign?

[Evan] Exactly.

What are you trying to suggest?

Just trying to make sense of your figures.

And I just explained them.

What about Angela Morris' blog post?

Did it affect your business?

Of course. She was badmouthing us

in every forum she could find.

Always careful not to outright libel us, mind you.

Crafty.

Until that final blog post.

[Steve] Must have driven you mad.

It did, yeah.

Bet you would have done anything to get her

out of your way.

What's that supposed to mean?

Was that the beginning of the rift between the brothers,

when Douglas left?

I'd say it was, yeah.

Thought you were peddling snake oil.

Now, look at him.

Freezing dead bodies for future resurrection.

Did you ever see things get heated between them?

Not between them.

But I walked in on plenty of arguments

between douglass and Rebecca.

Oh?

[Evan] I don't know what they were about,

but they were definitely of the heated variety.

When was this?

A couple of weeks before they decided to leave.

I reckon that's the real reason they went.

Couldn't handle working together.

Is that it?

Only, I've got work to do.

I'll be done here as soon as you show me evidence

of those marketing campaigns.

Flyers, ads, press releases.

I'll have a look in storage for you.

By the way, I've still got Jason's stuff, if you want it.

His stuff?

You'll need a Van.

Police already looked through it,

so I doubt you'll find anything.

[Steve] This all from his office?

Jason was a bit of a hoarder.

I asked Douglas to take it all,

but he didn't want to know.

Don't seem right to throw it all away.

Douglas didn't even look through his brother's stuff?

No.

That seems a bit-

cold.

Yeah.

[Dan] This is going to take hours.

[Steve] So much for the efficiency drive.

What the hell is all this?

[Steve] It's Jason henway's belongings.

Evan Langley had them in storage at the factory, so...

Douglas deemed them unworthy of his attention.

I think he resented his brother

a lot more than he's letting on.

We'll talk to him again.

What about Evan Langley?

Slippery as an eel.

I'm convinced he's hiding something.

For my money, so is Angela Morris.

What makes you say that?

[Steve] Well, something about her behaviour

just didn't sit right with me.

You're going to need more than that.

I've got more than that.

I was reading through her old blogs,

and noticed something odd.

Now, yeah.

See, look at these headings.

Nature's zenith this, nature's zenith that.

Up until the time of the murder,

she blogged exclusively about them.

After it, not a peep.

The cease and desist.

She wouldn't have cared about that.

They dropped it, anyway.

Maybe she thought justice had been served.

Unless she was the one who served it.

Where have you been?

I went back to the cemetery.

[Steve] You find your case?

No.

But I found something else, though.

One of the coppers on duty identified Angela Morris.

Said she'd been hanging round there this morning.

I knew it.

[Sasha] That doesn't mean anything.

I mean, her mother's grave had just been unearthed.

Except she lied about it.

Told us she'd been for a walk in the park.

[Ted] Yeah, well,

if I heard that a sinkhole had opened up

where I'd buried a murder weapon,

I think I'd try to get there and find it

before someone else did.

I'm going to talk to her again.

Nice work.

I thought you were going to talk to Douglas henway.

I'm on my way.

Good.

You can make a start by going through Jason's stuff.

Like I said, I want this case solved

as soon as possible.

I don't know.

[Knocking]

[Ted] I thought you'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

What?

[Ted] Detective super.

Congratulations.

Oh, there's nothing to shout about yet.

I'm still thinking about it.

What's there to think about?

It's what you've been working towards.

Yeah, well, I just didn't expect it so soon. That's all.

Oh.

What?

[Ted] That's something we don't often see.

You with cold feet. Very sweet.

Piss off.

[Ted laughs]

I don't know.

Do you think I'm ready?

You can't always wait for ready.

You've got to dive in.

Oh, so you're saying I'm not ready?

[Ted] No, that's not what I'm saying.

[Sasha] It's just, I've only been a dci

for a few years.

Maybe I need to get a bit more experience under my belt.

Learn on the job.

What if Cynthia kline's offer

comes with strings?

Life comes with strings.

Well, according to Danny,

she's a bit of a puppet master.

If you want to move up, you're going to have to

get used to dealing with people like Cynthia kline.

It's politics.

That's why I stayed put.

The way I see it, there's nothing you can't handle.

Thank you.

What about you?

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm as right as rain.

Only, you were digging around a cemetery

looking for a lucky charm.

Yeah.

I know it seems stupid.

Didn't even smoke, battered old cigarette case.

But it's what it represents.

It was with me on the worst day of my life,

and it stopped it turning into my last.

So, you know,

it's just an object. Has no magical power.

But it's the reason I'm still here.

And if you lost something like that,

you'd go looking for it, wouldn't you?

Of course I went to have a look.

My mother is buried there.

Then why'd you lie about it?

I didn't lie, I just...

What, left it out?

I forgot.

Why'd you stop blogging about nature's zenith

after Jason henway was killed?

Because it seemed in bad taste after he was murdered.

I'm surprised to hear you say that.

Why?

Because you hold this company responsible

for your mother's death.

And here we are, seven years down the line.

They're still peddling their wares,

branches everywhere,

and you're telling me you never felt the urge

to put fingers to keyboards?

Why did you stop writing about them?

Because it was too painful, all right?

The last thing I wanted to do was dredge up

all those feelings about my mother's death.

I just wanted to put it behind me.

That's the best you can do?

Yes.

I've had enough of this.

If you have evidence, then arrest me.

If not, I want you to leave.

I'm afraid I don't have much time.

I have a shift at the hospital.

Going on a trip?

I fly to the states tomorrow afternoon.

You didn't say anything about that.

I didn't feel I needed to.

How long for?

A couple of days.

I visit cryo longevity every year on Rebecca's birthday.

I like to be close to her.

[Dan] Not so sentimental

when it comes to your brother, then?

Evan told us you hadn't picked up any of his possessions

from work.

They were no use to me.

You were an intrepid couple.

One of the benefits of not having children.

We loved travel.

Our last holiday together,

a few weeks before she passed.

Kerala.

Well, your wife certainly had an active lifestyle.

[Douglas] She was incredibly fit and healthy,

which made her death even more shocking.

Was she happy that you'd left the business?

Why do you ask?

Evan Langley told us you were arguing a lot.

Couples argue.

What were the arguments about?

The business.

I wanted to leave, she wanted to stay.

Eventually, she saw things my way

and gave me her full support.

Now, if you don't mind,

I'd rather remember happier times.

Excuse me.

[Ted] Really appreciate it.

Yeah, talk soon.

I just asked a pathologist mate

to cast an eye over the original report.

Now we've got the murder weapon,

I thought it might be an idea to see if

anything was missed the first time round.

Good call. What are you doing out here, then?

Taking a rest from the office jumble sale.

Find any suspicious bric-a-brac?

How many scented candles does one man need?

Though you lot liked a bit of fragrance.

Don't be a smart-arse.

Sorry.

What's this?

Conflab.

I doubt Sasha would approve.

Do you think she's really going to go?

Well, everyone moves on eventually.

I don't see how you can be so casual.

Good on her, I say.

So do I, but it's not very good for us though, is it?

What are you all doing?

Lamenting your potential departure.

Lamenting?

You can hold a wake when you finish your shift.

Does that mean you're really going to go?

[Sasha] No, that's not what I said.

It's time to cut the apron strings, Steve.

Look, if I do go,

I promise to call every day

and visit every week.

Now get back to work. I've got a meeting.

Core.

[Phone ringing]

Pat?

I'm rooting through the entire contents

of liberace's boudoir at the moment.

You are joking.

The bastards.

No, I...

I'll call you back in a couple of hours.

Yeah, yeah.

Someone's stolen the camper Van from the driveway.

You look really broken up about it.

Devastated.

Think of all those long road trips

you won't be able to have.

That's exactly what I'm thinking about.

Pat's going to be upset.

Well, he'll get over it.

Or he'll get a new one.

[Ted] Don't tempt fate.

Talking of which,

that's number one, I suppose.

[Ted] Uh-huh?

Bad luck. Don't they say it comes in three?

You've lost your cigarette case.

Now the camper Van's been stolen,

so that's the first bit of bad luck.

Well, if that's the first one,

bring on the next two.

This is a bloody waste of time.

We should be concentrating on Angela Morris.

When I interviewed her, she was jittery, evasive.

No, no, no, no. She can't have done it.

Unless she could be in two places at once.

[Steve] Why would you say that?

[Ted] I meant to tell you earlier.

That bar she went to.

I found their social network page.

It was a bunch of kids celebrating a birthday there.

And look.

There she is.

[Steve] Yeah, okay.

And there she is again, right?

And there are lots of them going right through.

And the banter under the photos and the timings

indicates that it went throughout the night,

which confirms exactly what the barman said.

Shit.

I think we should focus on Douglas henway.

Why?

He's flying to the states tomorrow.

To visit his wife.

His dead wife?

[Dan] Hmm.

There's something bugging me about these deaths.

We've had three in the same week.

Gwen Morris, Rebecca henway, and now finally Jason henway.

Don't you think that's a bit of a coincidence?

Well, the first two were natural causes.

Cancer and a heart attack.

[Dan] I can't help thinking there's a connection.

I found something.

Look.

What are we looking at?

Look closer.

The photographer.

[Dan] Angela Morris.

All right, so she took the photo.

What does that prove?

She's wearing her jacket and scarf.

[Ted] Oh.

We've been in touch with the solicitors

for nature's zenith.

They told us, as well as issuing a hard copy

of the cease and desist,

they also sent an email.

It was timed at 8:10 pm.

Did you get it on your phone while you were at the bar?

[Ted] Must have been a real kick in the teeth.

I don't blame you for wanting to go over there

and have it out with Jason henway.

[Angela] I didn't go anywhere.

That's not true though, is it?

This is you at the bar in your coat and scarf.

Here you are later,

up at the other end of the bar.

We had a word with the couple of kids

who were at the bar,

and they confirmed that you went out and you came back.

[Steve] Where did you go?

I went out to get some air.

Why didn't you say that during the original investigation?

I forgot.

Like you forgot to tell us you went to the cemetery

this morning?

Jason henway took your mother away.

If it wasn't for him, she'd still be alive today.

A jury's going to understand that,

but you have got to start telling the truth.

I am telling the truth.

The truth is that you were devastated

by your mother's death.

You were furious with Jason henway,

and you went over there and you bludgeoned him to death.

You can't keep me here.

[Steve] Hey, we haven't finished talking yet.

I have.

[Ted] Where do you think you're going?

[Steve] Just a second.

Have we just had a potential killer

walk out the door?

We can't arrest her, can we?

She's going to do a runner.

We've got to do something.

Ted.

Hey, we've got some more questions for you.

I have to go.

You are a suspect in a murder investigation.

I told you, I don't know anything.

I didn't do it.

Angela Morris, i'm placing you under arrest.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned

something which you may later rely on in court.

Anything you do say

may be given in evidence.

All right, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Angela] I didn't go there meaning to kill him.

What, then?

I just wanted to find something to use

against the company.

Something I could use in retaliation.

He found me in his office going through his files

and he said he was going to call the police.

So you hit him?

He called me a lunatic.

He said I was deluded.

Me.

After what he did to my mom.

After...

So you picked up the bust and you hit him with it.

Yeah.

Then buried it in your mother's grave.

[Angela sniffs]

I think I need to see a solicitor now.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Well, if the rationalist's got a bad feeling,

I'm worried.

Uh-oh.

What's going on?

She's retracted her confession.

Shit.

The solicitor seemed very keen

on the words "wrongful arrest" and "false imprisonment".

I won't tell you the words I'm keen on using right now.

Well.

Went into automatic.

I had a feeling this wasn't going to work.

What wasn't going to work?

What's going on?

What were you thinking?

I don't know. I just didn't want to lose her.

She knew we were onto her.

If we hadn't stopped her,

she'd have disappeared.

And she confessed.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault. I should have been here.

There's got to be some way around this.

Not without changing the law.

[Steve] Well, the law's screwed up

if it means we've got to let a murder suspect walk away.

So what now?

We find something else on her, fast.

Christ.

What?

That was number two, wasn't it?

[Sombre music]

[Fiona] I thought you could use some sustenance.

Oh gosh. Thanks.

I didn't realise it was so late.

What's this?

It's a coroner's inquest report on Rebecca henway.

Wife of one of our suspects.

Hmm. Cardiac arrest.

[Dan] Hmm.

Then, later that week,

her brother-in-law was murdered.

[Fiona] Oh, I see.

You don't believe in coincidences.

There's no sign of foul play.

Toxicology report's all clear.

Coincidences do happen, Dan.

All the time.

You know that.

It's the law of large numbers.

Maybe.

[Fiona] I hope you're not doing this

to avoid talking about...

[Dan] No.

No.

In fact, I've been thinking, and,

well, if you do take the job,

then I don't want us to live apart, so...

You'd give up ucos?

But you love your job.

That's why you work till so late.

I'll do something else.

Like what?

I don't know.

Something completely different, probably.

There's no magic wand for this, Dan.

Don't give up ucos for me.

Think it through.

I don't want a long-distance relationship.

Neither do I.

And I don't want this to be the end of us.

Neither do I.

So what does that leave us with?

[Sombre music]

I honestly don't know.

I'll see you later.

[Cynthia sighs]

Oh dear.

If they hadn't detained her,

she was going to flee.

I understand.

But as a result, anything tainted by this

is inadmissible in court.

I've got them looking at other angles.

It must be frustrating for them,

working an investigation without the powers to arrest.

But it was my fault. I should have been here.

It was nobody's fault.

It's a minor setback, not a disaster.

You'll find another way.

[Ted] We were just about to call you.

You need to see this.

[Steve] I set up a Google alert

to keep an eye on Angela's online activity.

This came up.

[Dan] It was posted this morning.

Let's go.

[Ominous music]

[Sasha] Angela.

Angela Morris.

Please open up. It's the police.

[Knocking]

We're going to have to break this door down.

I'll get someone to bring an enforcer.

It's all right. I've got it.

[Door slams]

I can feel a pulse.

Call an ambulance.

Angela.

Angela, can you hear me?

Do you think she'll be all right?

It's too early.

This is some suicide note.

These are invoices from nature's zenith.

She must have taken them the night

she murdered Jason henway.

[Ted] Yeah.

Left them there to make sure we see them.

I'll get in touch with soco.

[Phone ringing]

Hello?

I've pushed her too hard through all this.

All the stuff about her mother.

It wasn't your fault.

She knew the net was closing in.

She wanted to go down in a Blaze of glory

and avoid a long prison sentence.

You tell yourself what you need to.

Steve, it wasn't your fault.

Yeah, right.

[Phone ringing]

[Sasha sighs]

[Sasha] That's all we need.

Hello?

[Ambulance siren]

Steve.

You didn't push her over the edge.

She'd already fallen long before we got to her.

This case has been one bloody disaster after another.

Those invoices upstairs.

They were for rice and wheat flour.

I think nature's zenith is pulling some sort of scam.

Scam?

Hmm.

Maybe putting cheap filler in their pills

instead of active ingredients.

I'm not sure.

All the more reason for Angela to hate Jason.

We haven't solved this yet, you know?

I've just spoken to my mate.

He's seen the original post mortem report,

and as far as he's concerned,

those injuries are not consistent with him

having been hit with that bust.

Meaning what?

Two murder weapons, and possibly two killers.

There was nothing in her files

to suggest suicidal tendencies.

What about her behaviour?

Your men interviewed her barely 12 hours before.

You're not trying to suggest they had

anything to do with causing her-

of course not.

But the press might.

Let's hope her family don't decide to pursue a claim.

How is she?

Just spoken to the hospital.

She's in a coma.

But we now have reason to believe that

she wasn't the only perpetrator.

What do you mean?

[Sasha] The head injuries.

Not all of them match the bust.

Right.

Keep me posted.

Direct any calls from the press to me.

Sasha.

Don't look so worried.

We're going to get through this.

[Steve] You've been scamming your customers for years.

[Dan] Not very ethical, is it?

Where'd you get those?

That's private property.

You knew they'd been stolen the night Jason was murdered.

That's why you went legit for a year.

Face it, you've been caught with your pants down.

Start talking.

I knew whoever had them killed him.

I was scared of being exposed.

You started this scam in 2006,

when Douglas left the company,

and that's where your profits went up, yes?

[Evan grunts]

[Dan] Did Jason find out about the scam?

Threaten to expose you?

Find out about it?

It was his idea.

I wasn't even up for it at first.

Jason came up with it?

Doesn't seem likely, given his ethos.

You're telling me.

But when his brother left, it drove him mad.

I'd never seen him like that before.

He cared more about making money than his clients.

His so-called ethos.

That went down the toilet.

I don't buy it.

He turned his back on everything he believes in

just to show up his brother?

Maybe he wasn't showing up his brother.

Maybe he just needed the money.

What for?

No idea, but he must have thought it was worth it.

[Ted] Are we ever going to get a break on this case?

Fiona, hi.

Go on.

Yeah.

Say that again.

That is brilliant. Thank you.

I've got something-

[Steve] I've got something.

Me too.

Boss, it's a toxin,

derived from the seed of the cerbera odollam tree,

also known as the suicide tree,

found mainly in kerala, southern India.

Now, Fiona said it's extremely hard to detect

unless you're looking for it,

and its effects would look like natural causes,

I.e. Cardiac arrest.

Now, that's why Douglas took his wife Rebecca to India,

to give himself a cover for acquiring this seed.

Fiona found all this in Rebecca's tissue samples?

[Steve] We think she was having an affair with Jason.

[Dan] That's her favourite composer.

[Ted] And it explains why he started the scam

with Evan Langley.

To save his money for this.

Signed up for cryopreservation two days

before he was murdered.

Douglas henway's cced on the invoice.

Angela Morris may have struck the first blow,

but I think Douglas caved his head in.

Making cryopreservation impossible.

Let's go talk to him.

You'll have to hurry.

He's catching a flight this afternoon.

[Classical music]

Must be in the garden.

That's not coming from the garden.

[Ted] Something's not right.

What's going on?

It's you.

[Ted] Who were you expecting?

We know you killed your wife.

We found traces of poison in her-

tissue samples, I know.

Cryo longevity informed me you'd requested.

But I must object to your phrasing.

I didn't kill her.

De-animated her, then.

Thank you.

She was having an affair with your brother.

They promised it was over.

[Sasha] What are you doing?

[Douglas] Within a year of us leaving,

they were seeing each other again.

So you started planning their murders?

It was never my plan to kill my brother.

I considered it a far better punishment

that he should grieve for the rest of his life,

knowing he would never see her again.

I went to his office to beg him

to rescind his membership of cryo longevity.

Angela Morris got there first.

[Douglas] His skull was fractured,

but his heart was still beating.

[Dan] Mr henway, are you all right?

He was almost certainly going to die.

So I got a wrench from the car

and finished it.

If you and your wife do wake up in the future,

do you really think she's going to want to be

with the man who poisoned her?

When we finally wake,

it's my hope...

It's my belief

that she will understand that I did it

to give us a better future.

The seeds.

When did you take the seeds?

Just before you came in.

Need to phone an ambulance.

[Douglas] Too late.

We can't just stand here and watch you die.

I'm not dying.

I let my standby team know I required their services.

I'm sorry to deprive you of your moment of glory, inspector,

but to be honest,

I'm rather tired of this life cycle.

But I live in hope

for the next.

So, Angela Morris isn't the culprit?

Not for murder. Gbh, probably.

How's she doing?

Better.

She's woken up.

That's something.

But this makes her wrongful arrest and attempted suicide

a lot more problematic,

especially if she pursues a complaint.

It was a complicated case,

and she didn't help matters by lying to us from the start.

I'm on your side.

[Sasha] Thank you.

And any repercussions, we will deal with them,

as and when we have to.

I'm just so sorry for messing up.

Don't be.

You had not one but two perpetrators muddying the waters,

and yet you managed to catch both.

I'd call that good work.

Yeah, but things happen that shouldn't have.

I should have been much better equipped to handle them.

Don't beat yourself up.

Look, I've been thinking about your offer.

I really appreciate it.

But I don't think I'm ready to-

I'm going to pretend I'm not hearing this.

I really think I just need to wait a while.

Today wasn't my finest hour.

I'm going to say no to your offer.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Okay.

Can't say I'm not disappointed.

I hope that team of yours realises what a champion

they have in you.

I doubt it, though I tell them often enough.

Thank you.

So, if they wake him up

a couple of hundred years from now,

what's going to happen?

Can you still be arrested?

Can he even still be charged?

We might not even have prisons then.

We'll always have prisons.

For all we know, it could be a lawless,

post-apocalyptic nightmare

of zombies and everything.

Zombies?

Problem with people like Douglas henway

is they have trouble letting go, saying goodbye,

when as I'm concerned, if your time's up, that's it.

You got to go, you got to go.

I'll drink to that.

You're a philosopher, Ted.

[Phone ringing]

Pat?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Steve, listen.

Do you think Sasha's going to take this job?

You all right, Danny?

Well, I was rather hoping that Sasha's exit

might make mine a little easier.

Well, you're not leaving, are you?

I may be.

Fiona's been offered a job in aberdeen, so-

oh, for god's sake.

Is that how you greet the good fortune

of all your friends and colleagues?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I pass on my heartfelt congratulations.

It's just-

yeah.

Given the day we've had,

I thought we all deserved doubles.

Oh yes.

Thank you.

You wouldn't believe it.

What's the matter?

They've found the bloody camper Van.

[Steve laughs]

Joy riders.

Dumped it, about four streets away.

Bad luck.

Like you said, always comes in threes.

Cheers.

[Glasses clink]

So, come on.

Are you leaving us or what?

Well, you'll be pleased to know

that I have decided to stay.

Thank god for that.

[Ted] Are you sure that's the right decision?

I don't know.

Just don't think I'm ready yet.

I hope this has got nothing to do

with what's happened on this case.

No.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Besides, how can I leave you guys?

So, you didn't find your cigarette case.

I'm sick and tired of worrying about it.

It's gone, it's buried.

Well, that's a shame,

because we did a wee bit of digging this morning,

before we came into work.

What do you mean?

It was Sasha's idea.

You won't be needing this, then.

Shall I throw it away?

I'm really touched.

But I don't need it anymore.

I'm leaving all my superstitions behind,

so let's just have a nice evening.

[Steve] Is he...

Ted.

Are you going to throw that away?

[Dan] You're not going to throw that away.

[Steve] Ted.

My hands are red-raw digging that thing up.

[Dan] Your hands are red-raw?

What, from watching somebody operate a mechanical digger?

[Steve] Yeah, okay, yeah.

The digger was there.

Hands are red-raw from the three wpcs-

yeah.

The three...

[Upbeat classical music]
