An overdose would've been cleaner.

That's unusual if it's a suicide.

Jumpers don't normally like to see,
do they? I suppose you wouldn't.

Any idea who he is?

Not yet. There's no wallet
or anything else to identify him.

Quite well-dressed. Clean shaven.

Must have wanted
to look good for you.

He left these on the rooftop.

Any sign of anyone
else being up there?

Far as we can tell, he was all alone.

It's a long way up. Yeah.

And a long way down.

We've had a call from Wembley CID,

they've had a stabbing in a clothes
shop.

Do you want me to take it?

I've got a stack of case reports.
I'll do the PM on him later,
if you like.

OK. Deal. I've got a homeless person
the same way. You want a lift?

Not with your driving, thanks.

Dropping like flies today.

Especially in his case. OK.

No, I didn't.

I was just working and the next thing
I knew... Ran in and...

it all just happened
very quickly and...

Red palms and white nails -
liver disease.

Or it could be hypothermia.

Hiya. I'm Nikki Alexander,
the pathologist. DCI Mike Connors.

My money's on the liver.
Anyone see anything?

Said a guy ran in, stabbed him
twice, then ran off.

Over in seconds.

Not the liver.

Better get photog back.

Sorry.

Thanks.

Harry?
Nikki, where's your stabbing exactly?

A clothes shop off the High Street.

My homeless guy is about
quarter of a mile from you.

I think he's been stabbed.

Right, well,
I've got two entry wounds.

They're deep.

Looks like a patterned edge
to one of the incisions.

I'd say the weapon
was a single-edged blade about
three quarters of an inch across.

Yeah, me too.

The body's still warm.

Earliest signs of rigor mortis in
the small joints of the fingers.

What's going on?
My colleague's got another
stabbing just up the road.

We can't be certain but it could be
the same killer.

Ah, hello, Father.

We've got another one -
charity worker stabbed.

The paramedics are on their way.
Is he alive?

Just. Any witnesses? Half a dozen.

Our man is white, thirties, medium
build, and get this... he's a vicar.

I'm done here. Right.

You get him back to the morgue.

Let's hope we don't need you
again today.

POLICEMAN: Stand back, sir.
Stand back.

POLICEMAN: Keep the roadway clear,
please.

Nothing to see.

Connors, it's Nikki Alexander.
I've just seen him.

Stay back. I repeat, stay back.
Yeah.

He's heading north up...um...

er, er... Mount Street.

He's heading towards a...

..a church. St Mark's.

Nikki, do not approach
the suspect, do you understand?

Got it.

Move it, move it!

Suspect sighted heading towards
St Mark's Church in Mount Street.

I want all available ARVs
to the scene.

I want roadblocks around
the church and see if you
can get me a helicopter.

Let's go, let's go.

He's in there but that door's
locked. Alone? No, there's someone
else there.

OK, stay outside.

Stop! Armed police!

Who is he? David Nicholson.

38. Divorced.

He has a history of psychiatric
illness and resides at
the January House Care Centre,

specialising in addictions
and psychiatric disorders.

Was he under section?

You'll have to talk to them.
The director's on his way in.

What does he have to say
about our friend?

He says he responded well to therapy
and to anti-psychotic medication.
He was getting better.

I wonder what happened
to cause a relapse.

That's the director now,
Dr Morrie Sanders.

The two stabbing victims
are prepped for PM.

Yeah, probably be tomorrow now.

I've had a request for a second
autopsy, I think you should take it.

Oh, what is it? Nazim Theara.

A 17 year-old. She was found
under a train three months ago.

The inquest returned suicide.

So, what's the problem?
Her mother objected.

Claimed her that daughter would
never have taken her own life.
Right.

Nazim had been prescribed
peroxetine to combat depression.

Her mother swears she didn't need
it, that she didn't even pick up
the prescription.

But the first PM did show signs
of peroxetine, albeit minute levels.

However, it also showed low levels
of another anti-depressant,
amitriptyline.

Nobody knows how that got there.

I hate exhumations. There's no need.

They've got an Out of England Order
to take the body back to India
for a traditional burial.

I see. Doesn't want to return home
to be perceived as a failed mother?

Something like that.

Nikki busy?

Now, now.

This is Dr Alexander,
forensic pathologist.

Hi. She helped us find David.

What can you tell us
about his condition?

Paranoid schizophrenia.

He suffers from psychotic delusions.

Like pretending to be a vicar?

During his psychotic episodes,
David experiences auditory
and visual hallucinations,

specifically with religious
and supernatural content.

He sees the Devil,
in everyday people anywhere.

He believes that he was chosen
by God to be ready for war.

What were you treating him with?

A combination of cognitive
therapy and medication.

What medication?

He was on an atypical course of
anti-psychotics, risperidone.

David's spent the last five weeks
with us, and was considered
to have made a full recovery.

He was due to go home.
But at the time of the incidents,
he was in your care.

What was he doing in town?

Unsupervised day release
was part of his programme.

David hasn't had a psychotic episode
since he came to us.

You were able to cure
him in five weeks?

Manage the symptoms, yes.

You'd be surprised,
it can often take less time.

Who referred him to you?

He referred himself. What?

It's not uncommon.

January House caters for referrals
from the private sector,
some from the NHS,

but there are also many
individuals who admit themselves.

There was nothing to justify
detention under
the Mental Health Act.

I assure you we did
everything we should have.

So what went wrong?

I honestly don't know.

Our diagnosis showed that he was
ready to return to the community,

and even if it didn't,
we had no power to prevent him.

The mentally ill do
have rights, you know.

But he killed two people.

So what do you suggest?

Go back to the bad old
days and lock them all up?

Cause of death - 1A stab
wound to the chest. Yours?

Cause of death - 1A
stab wounds to the chest.

Thanks.

Just had a call from Records.

They've got a fingerprint
match on your roof-jumper.

He had some youth convictions.
His name's Kevin Pery.

Thanks. A recent guest at
the January House Care Centre.

Coincidence?

Or incompetence. I think we'd
better pay Dr Sanders a visit.

Mrs Theara? Yes.
I'm Harry, we spoke on the phone.

Hello. Hello.

Are you here on your own?
My husband's busy.

Before we decide what our next
move should be, I thought it might be
helpful to hear about your daughter.

It might, er...

help me understand
the circumstances better.

Oh.

When Nazim was a baby...

she laughed all the time.

everyone who saw her always said,
''Isn't she happy?''

I felt like the best
mother in the world,

and nothing happened to change that.

At the inquest,
your GP testified that he had given
her a prescription for peroxetine.

He had no right to
offer her anything.

Did your daughter share that view?

Nazim wasn't depressed.

She had an accident.

She fell, the train came...

..the train came...

..and here we are.

I can only present you with what
I find, you know that, don't you?

I want you to prove that the
first post mortem was wrong.

For three months
she's been waiting in that fridge.

I want you to give my
precious baby her happiness back.

Kevin's dead?

The inquest will decide but we
believe he committed suicide.

I... I don't understand.

He was better?

He had responded well, yes.

His residential term here was
up at the end of last week.

What does that mean?

Like most of my patients,
Kevin was referred through
his private health insurance.

His policy covered him for
four weeks' residential care.

So better or not,
his treatment ended.

Residential care, yes.
If there were further problems
he could always turn to the NHS.

We had no reason to believe
he was in danger of self-harming.

What were you treating him for?

Kevin suffered from depression.

And what form did
his treatment take?

Therapy and a variety of stress
management sessions, and a course
of anti-depressants.

Peroxetine.
May I ask why you want to know?

One of your patients killed
two people yesterday.
Another committed suicide.

I'm tying to establish
if there's a connection.

Is it possible that Kevin
and David had ceased taking the
medication you'd prescribed them?

I would say that's unlikely.

They were both were rational
and had retained insight.

But it's possible?

We're dealing with
mentally ill people.

People who can't quite exist
within the usual parameters

of what we call
an acceptable society.

They are not very predictable.

Clearly!

You are aware the inquest
into the deaths
of David's alleged victims

will be opened formally
on Thursday?

Does the care centre have
to be mentioned to the media?

Not sure you're worrying
about the right thing there, doctor.

I'm all done here.

Do we have any ID yet? No.

Stewart Deans.
Building Society assistant manager.

Sorry, you are?

DCI Palmer, Serious Crimes Unit.

This is his car. He was found
this morning by a woman out riding.

We know a young couple took a walk
around here around 9pm last night
and the car wasn't here then.

Intelligence told us the building
society was a likely target
for armed robbery,

we've had it under surveillance.

Did Mr Deans know that? Yes, he did.

What about his wife? He was married.

Yes. Their house is the next stop.

You might need these.

Let's go back to David Nicholson.

You say he admitted himself?

That's right.

He had money, he knew there was
something wrong, he came to us.

It's not uncommon.

How much does all this cost?

3,000 a week.

Phew. I'm in the wrong job.

Very little of that is profit,
believe me.

While those patients are in my care,
I provide an excellent service.

I'm not sure
Kevin and David would agree.

And you're qualified to make
judgments about my professional
competence, are you?

Tell me,
do you get paid more to get your
patients out on the streets faster?

We're aware that you may refuse
on the grounds of medical ethics,

but we could clear this up quicker
if we could see your records on
David Nicholson and Kevin Pery.

You want to read my case notes?

You'll have to go through
the proper channels.

I doubt you'll have the foggiest
what you're looking at.

We just want to find
out what happened.

As I do! I promise you.

So what do you think?
Is he hiding something? Has to be.

Do the maths. 20 patients a week.

Three grand a head, three million
in turnover, that's big money.

Well, except he's paid by the week.

He has no incentive to release
patients before they're ready.

The longer he keeps them,
the more he's paid.

So if there is a scam,
you'd think it would be to keep
them in for as long as possible.

But he's cutting corners somewhere.

I don't know if he's a crook
or a quack.

The body is that of a young
Asian female consistent
with the stated age of 1 7.

There is skin discolouration
in keeping with the subject
having been kept frozen

for three months since death.

There is clearly significant physical
trauma consistent with the impact
of a train.

I'll take some liver
for the repeat tox screen.

There are traumatic amputations
of both legs and the right arm,

plus a range of
additional lacerations and abrasions

suggesting she may have been dragged
along by the train
for a period of time.

However, there is widespread
blunt force trauma,

which may well have been
caused by the initial impact.

Looks like a Le Fort Three fracture.

Middle third of the facial
skeleton has fractured off
from the base of the skull.

I think she was standing up,
facing the train when it hit her.

Mrs Deans?

MUFFLED: Help me!

Help me, please!

Mrs Deans?

Anything?

No.

Help me!

Police.

Mrs Deans!

They took Stewart.
You have to find him.

Oh, no! No.

See if you can get the ties off,
yeah?

Oh, no. Stewart.

What did the good Dr Sanders
have to say for himself?

That he was doing a good
job and he has no idea why
things went so badly wrong.

Do I detect a note of cynicism?

I just think that
they need proper care,

not just a month in
Sanders' Hotel Happiness.

I don't think the community
is the right place for them.

Cases like David's attract publicity
and everyone wants to see them
locked up.

The truth of the matter is,

schizophrenics are much more likely
to self-harm or be murdered
themselves.

They're rarely violent.

I can't imagine
what it must be like.

They're terrified. It's like being
in your own personal horror film.

If you imagine you believe,
you really, really believe

that there's some
other-worldly demon, if you like,

following you around all the time,
telling you what to do,

you're not going to argue with it,

whatever it says to you.

What? Like Leo?

Even worse than Leo.

Mrs Deans is on her way to hospital.

She was very shaken but she managed
to tell me that she was attacked

as she entered the living room.

A man in a mask jumped
out from behind the door.

There were two others.

They roughed the husband up but
that's all we could get out of her.

Oh, and they killed her dog.

I don't do dogs. Bashed it on
the head out there in the garage.

SOCO came back with some
cigarette ash. The Deans don't smoke.

There's no sign of a break-in
and there's some blood -
probably the husband's.

These guys are pros. I'm
not expecting a juicy fingerprint.

What about the building society?
How much did they get?

Well, that's the thing -
there wasn't any break-in.

So something went wrong?

Is Morrie in? Yes.

Hello, Morrie. Wanda.

I've brought you the tranqs and
the anti-inflammatories you wanted.

I wondered if you need
anything else for this month?

Normally I'd get a smile.

It's not been a good couple of days.

Ah, you're feeling a bit low?

You could always prescribe yourself
something and I could provide it.

One of my patients
attacked some people in town.

There's two dead.

Oh, my God!
January House will be on the news.

Oh, I'm really sorry.

Um, I guess, you know you can't help
everyone. I thought I could.

How's the art work coming on, Jack?

It's good. I'm working well.

Got the old desire back.

Talking to an agent about her
tying to maybe place my work.

Oh, that's great. I'm very pleased.

And I've got myself a job.

It's just an assistant at a
photographic printers but it's...

it's OK. You'll be Damien
Hirst before you know it.

You won't want to know me soon.

I'll be here just as
Long as I need these.

Well done, everybody.
Meet again same time next week.

And remember if you want anything,
you know where I am.

The addictions group went well.

Will you be able to sit in on
cognitive therapy on Thursday?

I've got to attend the inquest.

Well, after that?

Hattie, there isn't going
to be anything after that.

One patient dead, another a killer.

The press are going
to be all over it.

January House, my name's
going to be in the papers.

You can fight. There are lawyers.

They cost money.

The consultants, therapists,
nursing staff, physios, yoga,
catering, cleaning.

Bloody carpets cost a fortune.

There's no end to it.

But Morrie, the patients.
They come here empty, disorientated,

angry, addicted,
and YOU take all that away.

I just buy it. But...

Only this time,
I didn't buy it deep enough.

It's not just about the patients.

There's also people like me.

Thanks to you, I have a purpose.

It's over, Hattie.

We can start again.

Anywhere you go, I... If I were you,
I'd start looking for another job.

Mail order's up this month.

The website's doing well.

I just wish we had a few
more wholesale orders.

We'll get there, Mum.

I'm, I'm sorry...

About...?

The school and everything.

Hey - no, no, no, it's OK. Look,
you haven't done anything wrong.

You have an anxiety disorder,
you're not in trouble.

Mrs Carson says that I'm disruptive.

And you're going to get better.
Yeah.

But I still have to go to a
different school, don't I? Yes.

We can't afford for me to go
to a private school, can we?

Don't know, maybe dad could help?
Well, he pays what he can but you
know he's making a new start too.

Something'll turn up.

I've done this wrong.
I'm really sorry.

I've done it wrong.

It's all right. Julia.

Sorry. Oh, I'm really sorry.
It's all right.

I'm sorry.

Look, remember your exercises.

Sorry.
Come on breathe.. .and breathe.

I'm sorry. All right now?

I'm getting worse, aren't I?

Well, we've got an appointment
with the specialist in a fortnight
and we'll talk to him.

I just... I just mess everything up.

Look, we'll up the diazepam
to five mils a day. OK?

Then everything will be all right.
Yeah? OK.

He told me about the
possibility of it being robbed,
why didn't you stop them?

Mrs Deans... I was scared stiff but
he said not to panic because you
were in control of the situation.

Can you take us through
what happened yesterday?

In your own time.

My sister had been over for lunch.

Stewart and I had a relaxing
afternoon and then we went out
to the pictures about 6.30pm.

It had been a lovely day.

We sat in the
back and ate popcorn like teenagers.

We got back about 9.30pm.
What did you do then?

My dog had been in all
evening so I took him for a walk.

I'd only been gone about 20 minutes.

You took him out on your own?

Stewart wanted to watch
something on the television.
Can you remember what?

No.

I can't.

And what happened next?

There we go. There we go.

What's that funny smell, what is it?

The first thing I remember
was cigarette smoke.

We're neither of us smokers so
I thought maybe a neighbour
had popped around.

And?

Sit down!

Someone grabbed me from behind.

There were two others,
they had Stewart.

They had... I don't know,
metal bars or some things.

One of them took Roy...

..my dog.

I don't know what happened to him.

I'm sorry, Mrs Deans,
they killed your dog.

Give me your rings! Get down.

The man who grabbed me tied me up.

The other two had
Stewart in a chair,

frightening him.

Saying what would happen to me

if he didn't co-operate.

Sit back!

He tried to get up
and one of them hit him.

I don't know if he was knocked out.

They picked him up and
dragged him out of the house.

Before they took him away,
did you hear what they were saying?

Not really.

I was so frightened.

Something about security codes
at the building society.

SOCO found drag marks on the
floor leading to the garage.

They must have used Stewart's car so
that they left no trace in their own.

Did they get the money? No.

There was no break-in.

All this was for nothing?

It seems so, yes.

This is insane.
What sort of people do that?

He may have refused to help them.
He'd been at that branch
for 25 years.

He was going to take six months
off this summer.

We were going to do
so many things together.

There's a palpable
depressed fracture
consistent with blunt impact

to the
occipital region of the skull.

It's consistent with the
blow that Mrs Deans described.

No evidence of any defense wounds.

I can't see anything
underneath the fingernails.

Did he die in the
house or in the car?

Well, we'll look at the brain later
but survival after head injuries
is notoriously unpredictable.

I'm not sure I'll be
able to help you on that.

Time of death?

Too early to give more than
a rough estimate,

but certainly 1Opm the day
before yesterday is possible.

Any news from forensics?

Nothing yet. But a neighbour did
report hearing the dog bark like
crazy about three in the afternoon.

Our gang may have come around earlier
to do a recce.

Why didn't the dog bark when
the intruders came in?

It probably did but nobody heard it.

It was late.
Everyone's inside with the telly on.

How's Mrs Deans bearing up?

Not that great. But the
doctor's prescribed her something.

Palmer. Take more than a few pills.

Cell five. Cell five!

He was on a 1 5 minute suicide watch.

I guess he figured that out
and knew how long he'd have.

This'll go up to the IPCC.

Another force will investigate.

I still want to do the autopsy.

There are numerous small petechial
haemorrhages on the upper
part of the face and eyelids,

which together with the cyanosis
of the lips are consistent with
an asphyxial mode of death.

There is also some
bleeding from the nose.

And there are small subconjunctival
haemorrhages...

bleeding under the white
of the eyes.

Poor guy.

I'm going to rush
through this tox report,

and try to hurry up the tox report
on our other suicide, Kevin Pery.

Link them and then we'll get
a court order to open
Dr Sanders' books.

I'm not so sure about this, Mum.

Oh, come on.
Guy's parties are always full on.

Lot of fun, and we could do with it.

I thought it was business.

Well, yes, but you know he's
always been very kind to us and...

anyway, I want you to meet
his daughter. So be nice.

I'm always nice.

Hip hip. Hooray. Hip hip. Hooray.

Hip hip. Hooray.

Hi. Hi. Glad you could make it.

Hi, Julia.

It's a great house you've got.
Oh, thank you, yeah.

Yeah, well keep doing business
with me, and you may end up
with something similar one day.

Come on in, come and meet everyone.
Come on in.

What can I get you to drink?

Hi. Thanks for coming by.

What are we doing here? Intelligence
on my bank robbers came up short.

They were at a stag night in
Solihull on the night of the murder.

Undercover say they decided
not to do the job.
Couldn't have been them.

Anyone else in the frame? No-one...

apart from Heather, herself.

Who was tied up at the time.
And has no motive apart from
pretty average life insurance.

So what exactly puts Mrs Deans
under suspicion?

Well, SOCO have been flat out for
a day on the house and the car
and they haven't found a thing.

Oh, so guilty by default then?

Thanks for that, Professor.

She comes into this room,
is grabbed from behind

by someone...

hidden by the door.

Just as she described, yeah.

Wouldn't you say Mrs Deans
is very house proud?

Everything in its place?

Yeah.

Does that seem very bare,

as if something's missing?

Everything in its place
and a place for everything.

There are indentations.

You're right.

Something's supposed to be there.

No.

Doesn't that magazine rack
seem out of place to you?

Perfect!

So our masked men took a little
time out to re-arrange the furniture?

That's odd but it doesn't prove
anything.

There could be lots of reasons.
Makes you wonder though, doesn't it?

OK, Kevin Pery's tox report.

No alcohol, no recreational drugs.

Some very low level traces
of anti-depressants including

minimal quantities of peroxetine,
but nothing like the dosages that
Dr Sanders said he was taking.

David Nicholson tests positive
for alcohol but a fairly low level.

And again, very low levels of...

what's he supposed to be taking?
Risperidone.

Very low levels of risperidone and he
has traces of chlorpromazine.
What's that?

Well, it is an anti-psychotic but
it's almost never used any more -
gives you side effects.

So neither of them are taking
the medication that Dr
Sanders said they were.

Dr Sanders was switching medication
and charging for drugs that
he was never prescribing.

That's enough for a court order.

We'll open his files,
case histories, the lot.

Thanks.

I just wanted to say...

Another time.

Sorry.

I'm the one who's sorry.

And listen,

all the years I've known you,
you've been incredible.

Dr Cunningham.

Mrs Theara.

What have you discovered?

I'm sorry, the process
is still ongoing.

There's nothing I can tell you.

But you've done the autopsy?
Yes, I have.

Then tell me.
I have a right to know.

Well, I'm waiting for some
toxicology results

from your daughter's tests but...

I'm afraid I have given a preliminary
report to the coroner

that my findings concur exactly
with the first post-mortem.

It's not true! It's not true!

Calm down, calm...calm down!

Get off me! Calm down.

Get off me.

This isn't conclusive.

It's possible that we may find
that her judgment was impaired
by drugs or drink or something.

My daughter would never do that.

I'll get another opinion.

It will be just the same.

I wish I could say different.

She was so happy as a baby.

Look, it's OK.

I think it's time to
take another one of these.

Mum.

I can hear my heart
pounding in my ears.

Look, let me just... I'll just go
and get some water for these, OK?

No, no. Mum...

No, it's all right...

Julia, it's all right. Breathe.

Breathe.

It's all right, darling. It's OK.

Dr Sanders is probably
still in his office.

Are all the patients accounted for?

Of course, why?

Dr Sanders?

Morrie?

Where is he?

There's been a lot of interest
in work from differently-abled
artists at the moment.

Liverpool had their exhibition
of art therapy work
by brain-injured patients.

Ah, yes.
For the ''Hidden Disability''.

All artists draw
inspiration from somewhere.

He's constricted?

Drug dependency?

But the other face is serene.

The duality of schizophrenia.

But the point is that both are
being strangled by the snake.

Isn't that right, Jack?

Er, yeah, that's, um, that's right.

Interesting.

And what abomination is being
perpetrated here, I wonder?

Is this how you see yourself?

Sometimes.

Self-portraits are supposed
to be revealing.

Mmmm. I see in there...

..chaos.

Is that what you meant?
That's how it felt.

He won't get far.
I'll have a warrant out.

We can freeze his bank accounts.
sorry, he was there half an hour
ago.

Nobody is to touch anything
until my team gets here.

Is that understood? Hattie...

Not now, Richard. If Dr Sanders
gets in touch, you must let me know.

I don't understand any of this.

I tried to wake him up.

Where is he?
