You think this one's
suspicious too?

I think everything and everyone

is suspicious, Jack. You know me.

Kalan Dhana.
Pujari Pharmaceuticals.

Was it my fault?
I gave him the drugs.

Shh! Hey.

Mr Pujari? Vail or Hodgson?

Would you mind if
we had a look around?

Can I stop you?

Would you want to?

Young PC Steven Francis died

as a result of the vicious assault

he sustained at the hands
of the two defendants.

- You made a mistake.
- I didn't make a mistake.

You have just said as much
in open court.

You were wrong.

The Lyell's in all sorts
of trouble.

This is the body of
Steven Francis.

Caucasian male.

You better bring me the heart.

You didn't find anything.

No. No, we didn't.

We're ready for the next stage.

One more trial.

Just to be sure.

Is this what killed Kalan?

Tell me, or I go to the police.

See this?

This is the body of
PC Steven Francis,

and this is the heart

belonging to PC Steven Francis.

I did not make a mistake.

Can you pay them?
I hate that bit.

I always feel I have to
come back in the morning

and pretend I've stayed
the night.

I can't stand the humiliation of

them knowing exactly what we've

been up to...
which they probably know.

I'm just talking, waffling.

You are telling me the truth,
aren't you, Amanda?

About what? My marriage? Us?

No, no, I don't mean about that.

The postmortem on PC Francis.

Thomas, do you think I'd meet

up with you so you'd cover up...

No, no...

Is Nikki really so perfect that
she can't make a mistake?

One mistake?

I'm sorry. I should never...

What?

Asked me that question
or suggested we meet?

This isn't about sex or...

...the thrill of escaping this bloody

job for an afternoon or an evening.

This is about love.

We love each other and...

...that's why it had to end,
and that's...

The problem is, you're the
only person in the world

I can share any of this with.

I know.

Hello, Leon.

How do you know my name?

You out early or are you
often down this way?

What's it got to do with you?

Rumour has it you've got
yourself a new phone.

No. Who said I did?

You can't see it,
not with the naked eye,

but there's a satellite up there

and it's pointing down at you,

and it's telling me you're using a

phone that doesn't belong to you.

- Bollocks.
- Don't run, Leon.

Please. I'm too knackered
to chase after you.

But, fortunately, they're not.

This is the body of
PC Steven Francis.

Evidence number LY-SF-63418...

When was this taken?

Keep watching.

...this is the heart belonging
to PC Steven Francis.

Evidence number LY-SF-63418.

Nikki, what the hell
is going on here?

I wanted to prove that my
original findings were correct.

Who are you with?
Who's taking the video?

Look, Clarissa's printing
out the results.

Results? What results?

I took the samples
to the laboratory myself.

I don't know what you're
talking about, Nikki,

but this is a serious
breach of every single...

Nikki did not make a mistake.

Wait. This has got nothing to do

with what happened in court.

She took samples from
Steven Francis's heart

together with hair from his head.

The two samples have been
DNA tested over the weekend,

and wait for this.

The heart that you and
Professor Long examined

doesn't belong to
PC Steven Francis.

You're joking.

You and Jack have checked
every procedure we do here.

So have Chesham.

Nikki's original PM was with
the right heart, but somehow

a different heart was sent with the
body or was swapped at Chesham.

What about Steven Francis's
heart? Where's that now?

Morning.
They've found Kalan Dhana's phone.

What did I miss this time?

Continuing my interview
with Leon Birchwood.

DC Vail, DC Nugent and the duty
solicitor, Mrs Alvi, in attendance.

Where were we?
What time did you find the phone, Leon?

- I don't know.
- OK.

From the top,
what time did you leave work?

I told you, just after four.

And it takes you about
half an hour to get home?

Look, I was just walking
that way, down the canal,

because you lot
took my driver's licence.

We took it, or were you
three times over the legal limit

when you were stopped
and breathalysed?

You had no reason to stop me.

Right. You were walking home
between 4 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.,

and there was a blue sports
bag left on some cable drums.

And a phone.

The phone wasn't in the bag?

No.

It was on some cable drums?
Just sitting there?

Yeah.And you didn't search
the bag, pull out some clothes,

and then find the phone?

No.

Did this bag and this phone
not belong to someone?

Did you not think,
"Ooh, that's odd"?

Not down there at that
time of night!

- All kinds of shit kicks off.
- Look, Leon,

I don't give a toss about the
phone. All I'm interested in

is who you may have seen
by the canal that morning.

You're going to think
I was on something.

Other than your son's bike,
you mean?

OK, Leon says he was here.
It was dark,

and he saw a phone and was looking at

what else was in the sports bag.

Were the clothes in the bag?

So he says.

Leon then heard a noise...
some people by the water's edge -

and in the water he saw two
candles floating in the dark.

- He didn't see a body?
- No.

The candles then mysteriously
disappeared and he decided

whoever's by the canal is probably
going to come back, so he...

Legged it with the phone.

Which, when he got home,
realised was crap, so didn't try

and sell it or even turn it off.

Yeah. OK.

Oh, yeah - I got the DNA
results back from Pujari's house,

the apartments where Kalan
was staying.

- Any evidence of those drugs
that I cannot pronounce?
- No.

- I guess that was to be expected.
- Perhaps.

But there's one thing I didn't
expect to find.

Oh, yeah?

There was no evidence of Kalan
Dhana's DNA anywhere in that room.

But that's where he lived.

That's where we were told he lived.

Where's Jenna?

She's on her way.

You and I both know that the variant

is still years away from
being ready for market.

We were told to take as long
as it took.

This is important work.

But there's another use for it,
that Mr Pujari would like to

explore...
that's not strictly legal.

What other use?

And the money he earns from that

will be poured back into our trials.

Kalan's death has put us
months behind.

Does Jenna know all this?

The less people who know,
the better.

Did Kalan know?

- Of course he did
- He wrote it all down here.

See for yourself.

See for yourself.

Details of the trial.
Expected outcomes.

Richard?

I'm sorry, Jacob.

- Hi.
- Hi. It was lovely to see you last night.

I've missed you.
You want to have a look at this.

I thought when I got your
message this morning...

I'm sorry, Amanda, this is urgent.

Either there's been some
sort of mistake

or the heart's been
swapped somehow.

I can assure you, Thomas, the
heart wasn't swapped at Chesham.

And I can assure you, Amanda,
it wasn't swapped at The Lyell.

Earlier this year we had
an attempted break-in.

- I told you about it.
- Yes.

Yes, well, as a result,

we had extra security cameras

placed in almost every department.

So, if something like this had
happened,

it would have been seen.

So, you've checked the tapes?
Yeah?

- Are you serious?
- Well, look,

- I know it wasn't us.
- How unusual!

Dr Thomas Chamberlain
trying to shift the blame.

I'm not trying to shift anything.
If The Lyell is at fault,

I'll be the first to take
full responsibility. - Yeah.

Because you're so bloody
good at that, aren't you?

Amanda, we have to keep
our personal relationship...

Of course we must.
Must be professional.

Above all else.

- Jenna, have you heard from him?
- No. What about you?

Nothing. I've sent at least
ten messages.

I'm getting really worried.

Have you got any more texts
from Jacob?

No, no.

Why the hell didn't he talk to me?

- He's too angry.
- So it's my fault?

He's angry with you and upset
about what happened to Kalan.

He felt betrayed.I know.

I wanted to tell the truth,
but Pujari wouldn't let me.

I really hope nothing bad
has happened.

- Have you spoken to Mr Pujari?
- No. No.

If you hear anything,
or Jacob texts you again,

you call me immediately, yes?
- Yes. Of course.

I love you, Jenna.

OK.

Hiya.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

This shouldn't be about me.

You looked at the evidence and
you believed what you saw.

You were right, though,
I did feel undermined.

Yeah.

Have you spoken to Amanda Long?

Yeah, yeah. She should be here.

Professor Long, what exactly
do you put this error down to?

Well, we have both
looked at our procedures,

the keeping and logging
of evidence.

Might it have just been
an accident of some kind?

In my opinion, the most
credible explanation is sabotage.

A heart belonging to one body was

swapped with the heart belonging to

another, with the purpose
of sabotaging the evidence

and the subsequent trial.

That is a very serious accusation.

Do you have any idea who
would want to do this?

My findings were categoric.

PC Francis had an undetected
heart condition.

After the hearts were swapped,

Professor Long found that the
heart was healthy.

Clearly that would have an
effect on the outcome of the trial.

Are you suggesting the
police had a hand in this?

I have no idea.

There are a number of people
who would have had access.

Including us.

Do you agree that this was
a deliberate act?

An act of sabotage,
as Dr Alexander has put it?

I do. Yes.

- Well, it would seem that way.
- Yes.

This is a very serious matter.

We obviously can't continue
with this trial.

Yes, my lord.

When the jury return,

we will be formally asking
you to discharge them.

My lord, we will want
to address you on that.

Yes, I can see that you might.

This fiasco must be investigated
thoroughly

at the highest level.

I will make that clear in court and
write in person to the coroner.

The evidence from PC Steven
Francis's body will need to

be located, and two new
postmortems carried out by pathologists

from establishments other
than Chesham or The Lyell.

I feel I owe you an apology, but...

I don't expect you to. Why would...

You know I hold you in
high regard, Nikki.

The feeling's mutual.

I was wrong to say what I
did after you gave evidence.

I handled that situation
poorly. I'm sorry.

I'm not used to people
feeling sorry for me,

not professionally anyway.
I imagine you feel the same.

So, the trial of two men
accused of murdering a police

officer has been abandoned
on our watch.

We'd better get back.

A retrial, can you believe it?

At least Dr Alexander has
been exonerated.

Has she? We have CCTV footage
of those two men punching

and kicking the life out of PC
Francis. Both have a history

of causing GBH and ABH, and
both have admitted violent assault.

We had all that evidence, but
we still can't get a conviction.

Have you, by any chance, got
to have a look at the DNA samples

from the Pujari apartments?

- Tell me again, Jack, what you found exactly?
- Nothing.

But isn't that, in itself,
suspicious, ma'am?

It might be suspicious.

But, then again, it might
just be some kind of mistake.

They're running the samples
again to make sure, but...

This whole thing has been staged.

The clothing, the finding of the
lanyard, the way they spoke to me.

- Even Arthur Pujari going on about some old tree.
- Right, look.

It's suspicious. But without
concrete, verifiable forensics,

no offence, Jack, it's still
not a murder inquiry.

Yep.

Kalan Dhana may have taken
those drugs of his own free will,

taken out a canoe and fallen asleep

with a couple of candles on his
stomach.Best get back to work, eh?

So, we need more.

When have we ever needed less?

If anyone's set this thing up,
it's Arthur Pujari.

What more can we find to
convince Briggs?

Look...

...I really appreciate
what you've done on this.

It's not over till it's over.

I'll go back and see Arthur Pujari

and talk to some of those
colleagues of Kalan's again.

What if we go back to where
Kalan and Jacob were living,

and you test every room?

All the rooms looked spotless to me,

like they were laboratories
themselves.

If they were responsible, how
did they get the body in the canal?

None of them owned a car...
Clarissa checked.

Did they borrow one? Hire one?

Use one of Arthur Pujari's?

I know Clarissa was looking
into it,

but she's been somewhat
sidetracked. We all have.

Events.

Yeah.

Events.

Another one?

No, thanks. I'd better get back.

See you.

That's when Steven Francis came in.

The signatures of the funeral
director, Greg signed it in,

and I countersigned it
when it came upstairs.

The bar codes zapped and logged.
You can see the entry times.

- This is all when...
- Friday the 11th, yeah?

Nikki did the PM on the Monday.
She removed the heart

and took samples from it.

Yes. I can see that.

The samples were sent off by
Alice and, once Nikki had finished,

the body was sewn up
and returned to the fridge.

OK.

So, the heart is put into a
container of formalin by Nikki.

Who, then, put that
container into the fridge?

According to the log...

...it was Greg.

Then how long before the heart and
the body are moved on to Chesham?

They were with us for 11 days
before being sent for the second PM.

11 days.

So, certainly enough time
for Francis's heart

to be switched with a healthy one.
- Yes.

You want a tea or something?

Nothing, thanks.

It's going well, then.

Just an iceberg, Captain.
Nothing to worry about.

Tell me more about Arthur Pujari.

I thought you knew all about him.

So did I, until I started
looking into what the drugs

found in Kalan's body might
be used for.

Like what?

One's a dissociative anaesthetic,

the other's a muscle relaxant.

In combination, they're
potentially extremely dangerous.

I thought they were developing
a non-addictive painkiller.

Ketamine, it's fast-acting,
it's non-addictive,

but the vecuronium bromide?
- The ketamine just makes it stronger.

Kalan's hearing aids were
paid for by a shell company

in the Cayman Islands.

Owned by Pujari?

That's the beauty of shell companies.

They tend not to tell you
who actually owns them,

runs them or takes profits from them.

Or who's trying to hide their
tax liabilities.

Particularly from "man of
the people" Arthur Pujari.

Mm. Who openly attacks big
companies for not paying their dues.

This shell company has a
series of subsidiaries in America.

Texas, Florida, Alabama.

- What do you think that means?
- I'm not sure.

Yet.

Jack, we've found another body.

Who is it?

Jacob Nduka.

Shit.

You make a judgment call
and sometimes...

Ready to bring him down?

Is that a suicide note?

Even if it is a suicide note, that
doesn't mean that it's a suicide.

I know that, Detective Constable.

When we get him back to The Lyell,
we'll be able to examine...

You're still open for business, then?

I heard DCI Dermot Flanagan
was heading your way.

Nothing's been confirmed,
as far as I know.

Well, when Flanagan does get there,
you'll soon know about it.

It's a confession.

To what?

"Kalan and I were working
secretly on drug trials.

"We wanted to speed up the process
and get ahead of the competition..."

...so we tested the drugs on ourselves.

One night, Kalan died after I
injected him with a new drug.

I'm so ashamed.

I am so sorry to my family for
disgracing them in this way.

I know I'm going to hell,
and that's only right.

I'm so sorry.

Apparent venepuncture marks

on his right...

...yes, and left anticubital fossae.

Petechial haemorrhaging
in and around the eyes.

Cyanosis on the lips. Both
consistent with asphyxial death.

As is this ligature mark
around his neck...

...rising posteriorly.

No fingermarks or other
obvious signs of trauma here.

These are his X-rays, yeah?

The upper cervical vertebrae
seem intact.

Alice, have you got the
photos taken at the scene?

- Yes.
- Thank you.

Given the height of the drop,
if he'd jumped or been pushed...

...I'd expect his neck to
have been broken.

And here's an interesting thing.

In a hanging death, you get
lividity in the feet, the fingertips,

the ear lobes. The blood pooling

in the lowest areas possible
after death. There's some here...

...but nowhere near as much
as I'd expect.

Right, let's open him up.

Plume of froth, similar to Kalan
- another acute pulmonary oedema?

Kalan was dead before he entered
the canal.

I believe this man died
before he was hanged.

We need tox screening as soon
as possible.

Thomas? It's the coroner.

He said it was urgent.

On my way.

If it's not at Chesham,
then it has to be someone here.

How do you know it's
not someone at Chesham?

- I saw Amanda last night.
- She told me.

Are you two...?

- Thomas!
- Nikki, this is not the time.

Why didn't you tell me,
at least give me a heads-up?

It has nothing to do with
the case.

I believed you, you know that.

And I believed her because
the evidence told me to.

I'm sorry.

I should have let you know.

I'll leave you to it.

Amanda?

I've made a decision.

Or rather our lawyers have
made a decision.

Right?

- I am talking about work, not us.
- Oh.

I've been advised that we should
get an independent investigator.

Yes, yes, I've already spoken
to the coroner.

It's a criminal investigation now -

perverting the course of justice.

He's appointed a senior
police officer

not connected to the
PC Francis case.

Right. Well, I await the call.

I...

...wonder, what would you do
if I said

I was leaving Robert to be with you?

Um...

I thought as much.

It strikes me as one of
the great chemical ironies,

that a drug used in
life-saving surgery

is so prevalent in the medical
profession as a means of suicide.

Vecuronium bromide.

You think Jacob and Kalan
killed themselves?

No, no. I don't.
Jacob clearly didn't hang himself.

From the start, that's what
we were meant to think, but...

...here, look
the tox report.

What about it?

Along with a tranquiliser,
Jacob had ketamine and vecuronium

in his body, but the dosages
weren't enough to kill him.

The noose he hung from didn't
kill him.

So, what did?

There may be another drug.

A drug we're not meant to find.

OK.

Let's extend the screening. Test
the brain tissue for metabolites.

Thomas, what were these
brilliant young men doing

putting all this shit into
their bodies?

Visit Pujari, ask him.

Right, I'll see what Vail and I
can find at Jacob and Kalan's place.

Now, who lives in a house
like this?

Hmm.

Are you going to behave yourself?

What do you think?

Clarissa Mullery. Mr Pujari.

Please, come with me.

So, Miss Mullery, to what do
I owe this pleasure?

Jacob and Kalan were secretly
working on a new drug.

According to Jacob's
suicide note.

It happens.

Some people like to
stay ahead of the game.

But what game were they
trying to stay ahead of?

I thought Kalan was working
on a non-addictive painkiller?

That's all the information
I have, I'm afraid.

Do you condone what they
were doing?

Running trials without protocols,
without safety standards,

on your premises?

As Miss World says,
all I want is world peace

and global access to
free health care.

Please, try the cake.

Cook baked it this morning.

Two of your researchers
have been found dead.

Both had a ketamine variant
in their bodies.

Both had vecuronium bromide
swimming around as well.

But do you know what else
we found in Jacob's body?

Evidence of succinylcholine.

It's normally untraceable,
but we found it.

We were meant to think
it was suicide.

But it wasn't.

Jacob died a very painful death,
Mr Pujari.

That's truly shocking.

Poor boy.

- Jack?
- In here.

They've asked us to leave,
come back with a search warrant.

I thought we'd permission
to be here.

We did, but now it's
been withdrawn.

That wouldn't stop the likes
of you now, would it, PC Vail?

Listen, I think this is where the
experiments may have happened.

How do you know? A bed of some
kind was here, in the middle. See?

Swab this stain, see what we get.

Won't take long.

Yes. I'm sorry about that.

The company lawyers are telling
me that I have to ask you to leave.

The same lawyers that helped you set
up a shell company in the Caymans

that paid over 100,000
Pounds for Kalan's implants?

A company with subsidiaries
in Georgia, Florida, Texas...

Ms Mullery... Why would you
want to mask your operations

in the southern states of America?

Cos you were planning to sell
the drug to American prisons

for use on prisoners facing
execution.

That's quite a leap for
a scientist.

But, before you start making
insinuations against me

and my company, perhaps you
should have some proof?

Two men died in order to get
your drug to market. A drug used

to inject condemned prisoners
so they won't move

as they're being executed, and
not for the prisoners' sake

but for those who have to watch.

A drug that is illegal to
export from the UK.

What a great mind.

Maybe you should come
work for me one day.

Just explain this.

The presence of formaldehyde
in Kalan's body.

An embalming drug.

I know what's going on at The
Lyell and we both know, in court,

this would be considered a
mistake at best.

Inadmissible...

...at worse.

It must be so frustrating
to know you're right,

but that no-one believes you.

Binni!

Could you make sure Ms Mullery
finds her way to the front door.

Thank you.

Hello.

Please tell me you found something.

But of course.

A stain, sent off for analysis,

and evidence of a bed in the
middle of the living room.

That's probably where they
ran the experiments. Probably.

These young people were testing
the new drug on themselves.

Did Arthur Pujari confirm that?

He did more than that, he
dared me to prove it.

- He dared you? - Yeah.
- Wow, are you still a fan?

Is that Kalan's phone? Yes.

He was using a storage app
to hold a shedload of data.

From these drug trials?

I'm still trying to access it.

Do not suggest I call Max.

Wouldn't dream of it.

I've already tried him.

Now, this is interesting.

So, Kalan's login to the
app has been blocked.

And his files deleted.

But if I can partly restore this...

...we can rebuild him.
We have the technology.

Details from the testing programme.

Dates.

Times.

The ketamine variant, the placebo...

At least four participants were
involved in each of the tests,

as administrator, observer,
or guinea pig.

And I bet we can guess which four.

They've been working on
these trials for over two years.

Long time.

Pujari must have known about this.

How else were they being funded?

And who was all this data for,
if not for him? Hm.

That's not going to prove who
killed Jacob, though, is it? No.

No, but there are more
files here that might.

Yeah?

Hi. Sorry, I just brought you
some coffee. Oh, thanks.

Thomas said you were preparing
for a trial.

Yeah, it's a murder conviction

that's up before the
Court of Appeal.

- Nikki, I was just wondering...
- Yeah?

It's just I've learned so much from
watching yourself and Thomas

in the mortuary, but going to
court would scare the life out of me.

You just have to know what you're
saying, and what you're saying

is clear and is true to the
best of your knowledge.

Thanks.

And this is the case?

Yes.

It's another failure in disclosure.

The victim's GP has recently
revealed that the deceased

had early-stage multiple sclerosis.

Would that have changed the verdict?

In my view, no.

Mrs Coulter was beaten...

...and stamped on by her husband,

and he threw her down the stairs,
making it look like an accident.

And he was found guilty?

He was. 18 years, I think he got.

- Because of your testimony?
- Maybe.

But who knows what the jury think?

What they weren't told was
that he'd attacked her previously.

He put her in hospital with
a broken jaw,

but it was deemed inadmissible
at the time,

because the judge thought
it was unduly prejudicial.

And now you have to do this
all over again.

You must get so nervous.

It's like anything, really.

The more you do it,
the better you get.

But all those people watching you?
All those expectations?

It's not just that.

There are some barristers
who... how shall I put it...

...aren't interested
in what happened,

or in the human beings involved.

They aren't interested in
trying to establish the facts.

They spend their entire
time trying to get me

to fit my evidence to their narrative
of what may have happened.

"You say the world is round,
Dr Alexander,

but isn't that just your opinion?"

The pattern of neuropathology shows
what's called coup type injuries.

Yes, to the back of
Mrs Coulter's head.

This is caused when a
moving object strikes the head.

Isn't that their job, though, to
question you, question what you say?

Of course. To question the science

and the interpretation of that science.

As with this case, falls and
injuries like these

are always open to interpretation.

And when there are no witnesses
or CCTV, it can be almost impossible

to prove what happened
with 100% certainty.

But you're certain?

Sorry, I'm just trying to help.

I was as certain as I could
be at the original trial,

and looking at these...

...and going through my report,

I'm even more certain now.

Can I refer you to exhibit 5?

I'll draw you what I'm going
to say in court, if you like.

You can see if it's clear.

In a fall onto the back of
the head,

we see contrecoup injury to
the opposite side of the brain.

The key is to be as clear
as possible

for the judges to understand
what is quite technical...

Here's a skull.

Obviously they'll be better
diagrams for the court,

but this will give you an idea.
A coup injury occurs...

...under the site of impact
with an object.

And a contrecoup injury occurs...

...on the opposite side
of the area that was hit.

As the court will know,
a coup injury occurs

under the site of impact
with an object.

A contrecoup injury occurs on the
side opposite the area that was hit.

Coup and contrecoup injuries
are cerebral contusions...

bruising to the brain.

They can occur individually
or together.

When a moving object
impacts the stationary head,

coup injuries are typical,

while contrecoup injuries
are produced

when the moving head
strikes a stationary object.

Now, this evidence can
be open to interpretation

but, in the end, the head injuries
form only a part of what happened.

The left shoulder blade...
this was fractured in several

places, which is just not typical

of a simple fall down the stairs.

What do you mean?

Well, if it didn't happen when
Mrs Coulter went down the stairs,

then it must have happened
either before or after -

suggesting that she had
been assaulted.

How can you be sure?

The way the shoulder's fractured
and the way the bruising

appears and, as I say, she
had been stamped on before.

Uh, Nikki, um,
have you got a moment?

Sure.

Shall I print this out for you?

Uh, yeah, that would be great.
Thanks.

These are results from samples
that we sent off two days ago.

- What?
- There.

Jacob Nduka's sample has
DNA from PC Steven Francis?

Yeah.

This is out of control.

Fractures to the right shoulder were
found in both X-rays and dissection

of the back. There was extensive
haemorrhage in the soft tissues.

The right shoulder?

In the original trial and
in these photos,

it's clearly the left shoulder.

Sorry, I meant the left.

It's the severity of the fractures
that makes these injuries notable.

The first fracture to the
head, Doctor, you said

it occurred at the back.

- Yes. - Again, at the original trial,
you said it was to the right side.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes? Yes what?
You were wrong then but you're
right now,

or you're wrong now and were
right then?

Or, as I suggest, Dr Alexander,
you were wrong then

and are wrong now?

Mrs Coulter was hit on the side
of the head... it was a hard blow.

And not the back? You're sure?

Yes.

Would you like a glass of water to
compose yourself, Dr Alexander?

No, I'm fine, I just..

My lord, the court may be aware
there is an ongoing investigation

as to whether Lyell was culpable
in the collapse of a previous trial.

Part of that investigation is
considering whether Dr Alexander

has acted inappropriately.

And I might say, my lord,

the allegations against Dr
Alexander are very serious.

In the light of that, we submit
that this matter should be

adjourned, pending the outcome
of that investigation, which can,

if appropriate, be presented
to this court as fresh evidence.

Thank you, Mr Delaney.

In the circumstances, we see
that as a sensible way forward.

Oh, my God, they were all there.

Do you agree this was a
deliberate act? An act of sabotage?

I do. Yes.

You have just said as much in
open court. You were wrong.

Sorry, I'm just trying to help.

But you're certain?

Yes? - Yes what?
You were wrong then but you're right now?

Or you were wrong now
and were right then?

And he was found guilty

because of your testimony.

Shall I print this out for you?

Hi, Dad.

According to Mr Delaney,
I'm as good as out.

At the very worst,
I'll get a retrial.

I don't know what you did,
Alice, but you did it.

When I was at uni and
Mum broke her jaw...

...she said she did it, falling over.

Yeah. As she got out of the car.

I saw the photos.

What photos? What are you talking about?

You could see the sole of a boot
imprinted on her cheek. Your boot.

That's not what happened
- those photos are fake.

Faked? You think it's as
easy as that?

Isn't it? You stamped on
Mum's jaw!

If that was the truth,
I'd have been arrested.

Mum dropped the charges.

If you think that's the truth,

what are you doing here, Alice?
Why have you been helping me?

Cos I believed you!

Cos you're my dad!
Because I loved you!

I know what you did and
I know what I have to do.

Alice rewrote my report.

Why? Why would she do that?

Not only that...
her maiden name is Coulter.

And her father is...

Oh! Gavin Coulter
- Yeah.

I've contacted the police. She
went to see her father in prison,

but she's not there,
and she's not at her digs.

Maybe this explains the
contaminated samples.

I'll let DSI Flanagan know.
We need to find her.

Now it's beginning to make sense.

Nikki?

Alice! Please let me explain.

Your father lied to you,
and you believed him.

He was my dad. And with
my mum's MS,

I couldn't think he was
anything but innocent.

He said whenever you stood up
in court, everyone believed you,

so I had to come up with
a way to discredit you.

So you cheated your way into
The Lyell to get close to us,

to me?

Your father's appeal will
be rejected.

Good. He lied to me, he's
completely betrayed me.

And what exactly did
you do, Alice?

You haven't thought about anyone
else who's lost someone they loved,

what this work means to them, to us!

Have you any idea of the number
of cases that could be overturned?

Well, that wasn't my intention.

Contaminating Kalan's
sample with formaldehyde...

My dad's appeal was coming up...

...has meant the truth about
the deaths of two young men...

I kept some of the samples clean!

Any evidence against the lead
suspect will be inadmissible

because of the contamination.

The original samples are in storage.
Surely you could use those now.

Arthur Pujari is no longer
in the country, Alice.

What about the heart
belonging to Steven Francis?

I can tell you where it is.

You saw the evidence concerning
your own mother's murder.

- I know.
- And yet you still went through with it.

I had...

I had to hear it for myself.

From him.

As soon as he started talking,
I knew...

You need to call the police, Alice.

They'll arrest me.

You need to call the police.

And if you don't, I will.

This could be the lipstick
found on Kalan and Jacob.

Well, according to Jenna,

she and Jacob gave Kalan
the sendoff into the canal.

But she's denying any
involvement in Jacob's death.

Right. What about Arthur Pujari?

Richard's not talking.

But according to Jenna,
Pujari wasn't directly involved.

Not in the drug trials or the
disposing of Kalan's body.

Hm.Nothing is what it seems.

Shall we?

Yes, please.

Dr Alexander,

what are the consequences of the
defendant's actions on your work?

What's the point of experts
if nobody trusts them?

What's the point of evidence if
it can so easily be contaminated?

The whole integrity of what
we strive to achieve could have

been catastrophically undermined.

What my colleagues and I seek
to do is to understand the cause

and manner of a person's death.

But we don't only deal with the dead.

We deal with the living -

the families, the judiciary,
the coroner, police,

the public, the press.

And they all have to trust us.

And if there is a betrayal
of that trust...

...there is a crime.

The opposite of truth is
not just a lie.

The opposite of truth is chaos...

...a chaos that is in danger of
bringing down the institutions

we depend on to deliver justice.

Thank you, Dr Alexander.
