DOGS BARK

THEY BARK AND GROWL

DOG BARKS LOUDLY

SHE GASPS

PHONE RINGS

Leo Dalton.

..No, I'm afraid I'm due at
a medical hearing this morning.

BUZZING

..It's a Fitness to Practice
panel for the GMC.



..I think they might get
a bit angry if I cancelled.

BUZZING
..Yeah. OK. Will do.

BLEEPING

Harvey. I always feel
funny before these things.

I thought you might be up as well.

Dr. Cunningham,
excellent to see you again.

Likewise. How are you? Good.

You're not a professor
or anything yet?

No, not yet.

By the way, it's DCI Mumford now.

Oh, congratulations.

Thanks for telling me.

Shall we just get on with it? Yes.

What are you doing here?
Why exactly has he got us
both out of bed at this time?



Because he IS Bob Mumford.

I'll leave you to renew
your beautiful working rapport(!)

You're here now,
you might as well see the body.

Do you need a second opinion?
Yeah, I do...

It may be a complex case and....
I may need back up.

All right.
Can I borrow your phone charger?

Have the charger, have the stereo,

widdle on the front seat
if you like - please don't leave me
alone with that man.

We found the security guard
out cold round the back.

He doesn't remember anything
except arriving for his shift.

And the girl who found the body
has gone totally silent.

Apparently she's in shock.

Any idea who she is?

No.

Have we heard from DCI Mumford yet?

Dr. Cunningham, I've had three
calls already from someone

called Simon Traynor, claiming
to work for intelligence services.

I don't want to harass you,
but once intelligence start up

we usually have about 30 seconds
to work out what happened.

You see the lack of lividity on the
forearms and the fronts of the legs?

It suggests the body
hasn't been here long.

She was brought into the cage
after death, very recently.

What about the mouth?

There you are, sir.

Need to get her back to the mortuary
to see what's going on in there.

We also found this.
This one looks like the victim.

Do you know who that one is?

I have no idea.
But I'd like to find her before she
turns up dead like her mate here.

The body still feels
warm to the touch.

Hypostasis hasn't yet developed.

I'd say she's probably been dead
for less than three hours.

Wouldn't you say?

Yes.

It's worth noting that the body's
been very deliberately posed...

someone went to a lot of trouble
to make her look like this.

With the picture it seems
like a message, the killer's trying
to tell us something.

Or tell someone else something.

What about identifying her?
Anything you can give us?

There are signs of retinopathy to
the eyeball. That might suggest
quite severe type one diabetes.

Sir, it's Simon Traynor
on the line for you again?

Sir, he says it's urgent and
he needs to speak to you now.

What if we need something else?

Early signs of malnutrition.

Often seen in the homeless
and runaways. It's possible...

He's still holding. Bit of a jump?

I'd cross-reference the diabetes
register with missing persons,
you might get something.

Sir, please?

Thank you, Dr. Alexander.

And thank you.

All right, give us the phone.

Hello there.
DCI Mumford? Simon Traynor.

I do hope I'm not disturbing you.
'No. What can I do for you?'

I was wondering what you had
on your hands down there?

Why is intelligence taking this
much interest in a murder case?

Well, I'm assuming you've already
got the name Adrian Burney coming
up on your list of ex-employees?

You have, haven't you?

Obviously.

'Have you tried typing
that into your database?

'That's N E Y.'

Hello, Claire. You all right?

Burney is the chairman and
life member of the animal rights
loony squad.

That's freedom to animals by
way of extreme and senseless
violence against human beings.

'I see. But what's this
got to do with...'

I just thought if you told me what
you got, I might be able to tell
you whether he's involved or not.

'Well, Simon, I'd love to do that.

'But unfortunately, we're
on a murder inquiry, so...'

until we're officially authorised,
it would be irresponsible

to just dish out information to
anyone who just happened to phone.

I'd be very happy to brief you fully
at a more appropriate time.

Right. OK.

..Thank you, DCI. Thank you
for your time. 'Not at all.'

God, I loathe the police sometimes.

Have you got that address yet?

Milk, no sugar.

Perfect. Thank you.

Well, at least we're
on the right side.

Whenever I have to
testify against...

even if I know the chap's
messed up...

there's just something about it
that makes my skin crawl.

It's the first time I've had
to be a character witness.

Well, you're lucky. You're standing
up for a pal. Nice clear case.

There's some sort of rust-coloured
residue under her fingernails.

Could be metallic?
No, I think it's organic.

Having another look at the...

Amelia Brown letter? Yes.

Yes... Lionel only sent the
files over three days ago.

Well, she was a bloody fool
to let that lawyer talk her
into making that complaint.

It's the compensation culture, isn't
it? Another great American import.

At least the hearing might
clear up some of the argument
around the new regulations.

New regulations?

Consent is consent! You don't need
new regulations to tell you that.

Did Lionel ask you
to come and talk to me?

You have to understand, Leo.

He's under the most
incredible pressure.

Do you understand? This girl could
be in very serious danger and
I need you to tell me who she is.

DOG WHINES

Listen, could we put
the dog somewhere?

Steve, come here.

Get a room and get her in there.

Well, go on then.

What do you make of this?

Dr. Alexander,
can I borrow you for a second?

Given how keen you were to get
this body back to the mortuary,

I'm surprised you're still here.
I'm just about to leave.

Doctor Alexander? Please.

I think we may have a way
of finding out who these girls are.

You'd better go.

Will you send that
sample for analysis? Yes.

It looks like some animal
rights nutcase called
Adrian Burney is behind this.

Is that what the guy
from intelligence said?

In effect. And it's made me think
our resident mute might be keeping
quiet for good reason. Why?

She's got that trademark block
when it comes to co-operating
with the police.

So what do you need me to do?
See if she's any happier talking
to a nice friendly doctor.

We are trying to work out
if another girl is in danger.

I'll see what I can do.

Hi, Claire. I'm Dr. Alexander.

I'm here to take a quick swab
for elimination purposes.

It's so that we can identify
any samples connected to you that
we might find in the cages.

Can you open your mouth, please?

It's important so that
forensics have the clearest possible
sense of what happened.

Did you know this girl?

I know it's been a shock, but if
you knew her or know anything about
what happened you have to tell us.

What about this picture?

The other girl...do you know her?

Well, she could be in serious
danger. You are aware of that?

You know, you won't stop him.

Who?

She's all yours.

There have been articles
depicting him as a monster who
steals people's brains.

If you're not in touch, how can
he feel he has your full support?

His lawyers insisted that,
as a character witness, I didn't
have to see all the material.

And when it came, it was obvious
there was a huge difference

between what he'd said
and what was in the files.

I think you should go
and talk to him.

I can't go and talk to him.

I'm due to see him at
a GMC hearing in a few hours.

Let him go through
with you again what happened.

I don't need to go through
what happened. Why not?

I've already said that I'll speak
in support of his character.

I'm not being asked to comment
on Amelia Brown or her letter.

You'll be no good to him
unless you want to be on that stand.

Now, you know I have the upmost
respect for Lionel.

We worked together.
I'm his friend for goodness sake.

Go and see him.
It might do you both a lot of good.

DOOR SLAMS

I'd better just go
and see what's happening.

Everything OK?

Yes, apart from being lumbered with
the most obnoxious DCI in London.

Who, Mumford? Yes.

Yes, I've been meaning to
tell you about that. May I?

Yes.

When did they approach you?

A few weeks ago.

I'd better go and change.

Over here, sir.

What are you doing?

Oi!

Who's in charge of this job?

In there, sir.

So they'd make you a professor?

Yes.

It's a good university. For America.

The research budget is unbelievable.

When do they want a reply?

End of the month.

Why now?

Now is when they made the offer.

It's got nothing to do with the fact
that you might be feeling frustrated
with the police side of things?

No more than usual.

You know how it is. Now and then

something comes along
which makes you think.

And you might not have known
you were interested until it did.

What does Nikki think?

I'm planning on telling her
sometime later today.

I've cross-referenced every
diabetic female under 25 registered
with a London hospital

and every missing person's report
for the last two months. And?

No match.

NIKKI: Try going further back.

Got it!

Aged 18 years and five months,
she was reported missing in
September 2005, by her parents...

Valerie and Michael Finch.

Do you recognize any of them?

Her name is Lisa Finch.

Looks like she's been
staying here in Burney's flat.

She's a known associate.

Both members of The
War for Animal Equality - WAE.

This is his little...hard core.

They are anarchists...

very dangerous people indeed.

She has no criminal record,

but she was cautioned following
major disturbances

outside the gates of Whittingdon,

and later spent
three months in hospital.

She threw herself under a truck,

outside the gates of Whittingdon,

convinced it was full of
puppies for experimentation.

And that...

is Adrian Burney.

Any known associates for him?

Claire Ashen.

Claire Ashen,
Robbie Sharpe, Jane Cardy,

Eva Merrick, Lisa Finch,

He's recruiting kids...

But if his only goal is to bring
down Whittingdon, why turn
on members of his own group?

It might be that some sort
of civil war has broken out
for control of the cell.

Just as likely to be at each
others' throats as they are to be
chucking bombs at puppy farms.

That's why they're
called anarchists.

Or they've got involved
in criminal activity in order

to fund their campaign
and wound up getting hurt...

we've seen that before.

Either way, you don't seem
concerned that another girl
might be missing.

Listen, it's your job to find
whoever killed Lisa Finch

and to work out whether they've
got another potential victim.

Mine is to understand
who they are working for,

who else might be involved,

and to make sure you don't get
a third body before I do.

Where's the second? At Whittingdon.

Tell me if I needed one of your pathologists
to take a look at the scene,

could you arrange that for me?

At this stage, they'll obviously be
tied up at the mortuary, so...

Oh, well. Then you'd better get
in touch with me when they're free.

If you know anything
that could help us work out

what happened to this girl, don't
you think you should pass it on?

Oh, well, we're on an inquiry now,

so until I'm officially authorised,
I really think it would be highly

irresponsible of me to go
dishing out information to
anyone who requested it.

Unless of course, you felt there was
something you could share with us.

No? Cheerio.

Mumford. 'Her name's Lisa Finch.'

Yeah, I know. Has anyone tried
to contact the parents yet?

'Not yet.' Then get on and do it...
now.

She has a name now.
Excellent. What is it?

Lisa Finch. Mumford thinks that
an animal rights activist called
Adrian Burney is responsible.

Did you send that residue
for analysis?

Not yet.
I'm going to do it after this.

Oh, right, so where is it? Hold on.

Oh, my God.

Someone has tried to extract
three of her molars.

By force? Yes. Looks like it.
It's very messy.

Crowns have been fractured off and
the roots have been left in situ.

Not much healing. Must have
happened shortly before death.

There are also what appear
to be puncture marks
in the back of the mouth.

Could be injections.
'So what was she injected with?'

We'll have
to wait for the tox report.

But again,
it's been done very crudely.

There's a lot of mucosal damage.

Must have been incredibly painful.

She was tortured.

Lionel, I hope you don't mind?

Leo! Come in. Come in. Thanks.

I'm so sorry I haven't called
or been in touch.

I heard the solicitor
didn't even get the file to you
until three days ago.

It got there in the end.

As you can imagine, it's been
absolute madness here. I can see.

Oh, I must show you!

What's that?

Have a look.

Two season tickets to Wasps!

Sylvia's been going on at me
about getting out
of the house at weekends.

I have to admit, once they
suspended me I was a bit...

stumped as to how to fill my days.
You know?

Then it hit me...

we used to go and watch Wasps.

We most certainly did.

Harvey came to see me.

He seems to be under
the impression that you think
I'm not fully behind you.

So what did Mumford want
with you at the dogs' home?

He wanted me to
talk to Claire Ashen.

He felt she knew something.

Well, did she? Uh-huh.

But I couldn't get
it out of her though.

What would you have
done in that situation?

Leo, how many years
did we work together?

Six, seven may be.

And I'm aware that back then,
things were very different.

We allowed ourselves
to assume rights.

I behaved in ways that might
seem very paternalistic now.

But that was the past. Yes.

So did you have full consent to
keep samples from Rufus Brown?

Of course I had consent.

Do you think I'd jeopardise
everything over a couple
of samples from one individual?

It was more than
a couple of samples.

OK, it was more than a couple,
but I had consent...
from the family, from the mother.

And the proof of it is in
the files that you were sent.

I checked with the solicitor
before he sent them and he
promised me that it would be there.

Might you have a copy?

Of course!

Thanks.

I'll go and get it.

You do realise the damage that
cases like this are causing?

All the work we did. All the
breakthroughs you and I battled for.

All of that would be impossible now.

And the only explanation we get
is "the public good" -

the public right to be protected
from our mistakes.

Now we can't even pick
up a research slide without
the Spanish Inquisition!

Lionel, I know you need
to get back to work...

Leo.

Hello, Sylvia.

Sorry, dear.

We didn't wake you? No. No.

It's good to see you.

What would you do if you
know someone's holding out on you,
but they won't admit it?

Just wait.
They can't hold out for ever.

Oh, good, that's what I'll do then.

Nikki, you're being very strange.

So if I wait for say, a decade,
you might write to me from America
and tell me you've been working

there for years and that's
why you suddenly disappeared?

How do you know that I might...

might...be going to work in America?

I saw the letter in your car.

A private letter. Yeah. Sorry.

But it just upsets me that
the only way I discovered this

is by accidentally
reading a letter in your car.

Such a girl's remark. Suddenly
this is something I've done wrong?

Have you told Leo?
Yeah, as it happens.

You've told Leo?
Earlier this morning, yeah.

You saw me first thing.
Why didn't you tell me?

I wasn't sure how you'd react.

Did you think I'd crawl around the
room wailing, "Please don't go?"

How pathetic do you think I am?

For Christ's sake,
this is exactly the kind of thing
that makes me want to...

Exactly the kind of thing
that makes you want to what?

Makes me want to have a job where
I can just sit in a room and work,

and not have to deal with diplomacy
and office politics

and idiots like Mumford
yacking in my ear.

Oh, I'm very sorry for being
a yacking idiot, Harry.

That is unfair.
You know I did not mean you.

No, no, go to America
and have a lovely time in

a silent little room on some campus.

Let's hope that nobody annoys
you or even talks to you.

PHONE RINGS
Hello.

..Yeah.

..Right. OK. I will be down
there as soon as I can.

..Bye.

Apparently there's another body.

The intelligence guy at the dogs
home wants me to have a look.

Then you'd better go.

Hi. It's Nikki Alexander.

I've got a sample for analysis.

..Great. Thanks.

Where's Harry Cunningham?
You just missed him.

He's gone to look at another body.

The bastard! Where? Don't know.

He must have given you an indication
of where he was going? DCI?

OK.

But if you hear anything,
you have to tell me.

Mr and Mrs Finch.

Thank you for coming in.

So what has he told you...

about all this?

Well, we haven't spoken
that often, but when we have,

he's just been very positive.

About work, about the case.

About you.

Of course he has.

How else is he going to cope
with the fact that his wife is

dying of the very condition he spent
a lifetime trying to find a cure to?

My father died of it as well.

It's one of the reasons
Lionel entered the field.

And do you know
what I think sometimes?

You'll probably think
I'm dreadful, but...

the closer Lionel seemed
to get to this great breakthrough,
the more impossible he was.

He always worked hard, but...

before they suspended him, I'd
barely even seen him for months.

And I knew he was taking risks...

because his assistants
were telling me.

That boy was probably
the least of it.

And then the inquiry came.
And it all stopped.

And suddenly, I had him back.

I had my husband back.

I have so little time, Leo.

And I know it's awful for me
to be even thinking what
I'm thinking, but I have so little..

Sorry, Leo.
Amelia Brown's letter of consent.

I had it packed away in the car.

Everything OK?

I was just saying goodbye.

I thought I'd go and
have a rest before we leave.

Good idea.

Good luck, Leo.

Here it is.

A letter from the mother of
the boy herself! Pleading with me

to help her to understand
how her son died of Motor Neurone
Disease at the age of 28.

If that doesn't make it clear,
what does?

What more can anyone possibly want?

I have no idea.

We're doing everything we can
to work out who did this.
You'd better bloody get to him.

Get to who? The high priest
of that sick little cult.

The reason my daughter is lying
there like some lump of flesh!

Adrian bloody Burney!

She met him at college.
He was always on about his animal
rights and environmental stuff.

She thought he was some sort
of folk hero or something,
but I just knew he was a maniac.

We knew we'd lost Lisa
a long time ago.

It didn't matter what we told her,
she thought Burney knew everything.

But Justine...

Justine is a little girl. Justine?

She was just trying to do
what her big sister did.

Justine's fine. Mrs Finch...

Do you know where Justine is now?

She said she was staying over
at her friend's.

But...we haven't heard from
her for a couple of days.

Is this Justine?

SHE WEEPS

THEY LAUGH OUTSIDE

PHONE RINGS

Yep.

..OK, where?

Leo, there you are.

It's good to see you. Harvey.

Everything all right?

You know their solicitors train them
to look as helpless as possible.

Helps with the payout when
they go for compensation.

This Fitness to Practise hearing
is convened on 2nd March 2006.

Professor Clune, would you mind
standing and confirming
your full name and GMC number.

My name is Professor Lionel Clune.

My registration number is 475967Y.

I will now read out
the charges against you.

The allegations are that being
registered under the Medical Act 1983

A, on or about the 8th August 2003

you received the brain of
Rufus Brown from the Coroner

for the purpose of examinations
relevant to the cause of death.

Why do you think she's linked
to the body in the dogs home?

Her name's Jackie Cooper. She was
personnel manager at Whittingdon.

And you think she was murdered?
Do you think it's a suicide?

See this?

If you are trying to kill yourself,
by the time the bag is on,
the pills are working,

so suffocation should
be almost automatic...

as a result of passing out
with both airways blocked.

In other words, you shouldn't
need to strangle yourself? No.

And you probably shouldn't
have to inject your own mouth
with a hypodermic needle.

Sorry, what can you see there?

None of her teeth
have been removed...

but the puncture marks
are consistent with Lisa.

You say she worked at Whittingdon?

Yes.

Lisa was an Animal Activist. Yeah.

Torture seems a bit extreme
for a bunch of animal lovers?

They're terrorists, Harry,
just like any other.

OK, let's try and find out how
a personnel manager gets herself
into a mess like this.

I've got an appointment
at Whittingdon.

You're a scientist...

you interested in a guided tour?

When exactly did you find out what
had happened to Rufus's remains?

It was about six months ago.

I was informed that a standard audit
of Professor Clune's

laboratory had been carried out
and apparently they'd found...

brain samples that he wasn't
authorised to keep.

And how did you feel when
you found out those samples
belonged to your son?

Everything was getting back
to some kind of routine for us.

Things weren't great,

but I'd remember a bit about
what people mean by "normal life".

So when we heard that we might
have buried our son without...

When we heard that we might have
buried Rufus without his brain,

it was like thinking you've
woken up from a nightmare

and trying to get out of bed and...

..nothing in your body will move.

I have no further questions.

Mrs Brown, do you recognise this?

Yes, I do. This is a letter that
you wrote to Professor Clune on
12th of August 2003, isn't it?

Yes, it is.
"Professor, the coroner told us that
Rufus's case was now in your hands.

"Please, professor,
don't forget about us.

"We need to understand how our
son got this sickness so young.

"If we are to have any peace,
we feel we must know the truth."

How did you expect Professor
Clune to respond to that?

I did not write to Professor Clune
to give him permission to use

parts of my son's body for
his own experiments.

He is working to establish a
treatment for Motor Neurone Disease

what did you think he'd do?
I thought he would
stay within regulations.

I thought he would
treat us with some respect.

You've heard substantial damages can
be won if these cases go to court?

That's not the reason I'm here.

Can you deny that you've discussed
the compensation that may be won

if your complaint proved successful?

We've suffered a lot of pain
from what Professor Clune did.

If it's his fault, I don't
see why he shouldn't pay.

He has already paid you, Mrs Brown,
with his hard work and commitment in

trying to find a cure for the
illness that killed your son.

All I can tell you, is that
I did not write that letter,

so that Professor Clune could keep
bits of Rufus.

When did you get here?
About an hour ago.

He's just through here, OK?

Is this how you found him?

He was face down in the water...

dog walker who found him pulled
him out before he called us.

Any ID on him? No.

By the look of him we think he's
a crusty who went a little heavy on

the snakebite and took
a tumble on his way home.

There's always a fair
amount of them round here.

We sometimes find them
trying to camp out,
return to nature that sort of thing.

Dog bites.

Can't tell how old they are yet.

Oh... Eurgh.
Can you help me turn him over?

PHONE RINGS

Hello, Whittingdon.

Who does the security at Whittingdon?

One of the major security firms
gave up the contract
about three years ago,

saying they could no longer
guarantee the safety
of their employees.

SIRENS WAIL

Oh, great(!)

If you'd like to come
through gentlemen,

Mr Hewitt is ready to see you now.

What's that? More dog bites?

No... these marks are too regular.

Something's cut him, like...
glass or barbed wire.

There's a lot of farming land.

He could have been
clambering over the fences.

Any idea of which way he came from?

Well, there's a path up that way.

Right. I'll be back in a minute.

Thank you, Sarah.

You'll have to excuse me...

we've all been a bit thrown by
this terrible news about Jackie.

I'm sure one of these must be free.

Ah.

You realise that we've already spoken
to local detectives about this?

Yes, and we're very grateful
you've agreed to see us again.

Don't worry, I'll stand.

We just wanted to find out a bit
more about Jackie in relation to a
wider inquiry that we're pursuing.

Harry, it's me.

Can you call me back...it's urgent.

Jackie was a very private person.

Very quiet person.

But I don't think I'm blowing any
big secret if I say it was obvious
she'd been struggling recently.

Struggling with what?

With her illness. With depression.

Do you believe Jackie's depression
may have caused her death?

Well, I would have to leave
that to the pathologists.

We have reason to believe
that Jackie may have been murdered.

My God. That's terrible.

Have you any idea why?

Two young women have been found
murdered in 24 hours.

One a member of your favourite
animal rights group,
the other worked for you.

PHONE RINGS

This girl's dead.
This one's missing.

Her name's Justine.
She's Lisa's sister.

Do you know either of them?

Do you know her?
Well, she could be next.

The idea that Jackie may have
been anything else, or involved in

anything that you're investigating
is bizarre.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Hi, it's me.

We've got another body,
and I think it's connected to
the Lisa Finch case. 'Why?'

The residue under Lisa Finch's
fingernails, it's on this one.

And on his clothes,
though he spent most of the night
marinading in a stream.

Oh, Nikki, sorry.
I didn't send that sample off.

It's OK. I've done it.

Where are you?

'I'm with Simon Traynor and Mumford
who's ridden in like the cavalry.

'We're interviewing
Jackie Cooper's boss.'

Who's Jackie Cooper?

'The body that Traynor
wanted me to look at.'

Where? 'Whittingdon.'

That's where I am.

'What?'

I'm standing right outside
the fence at Whittingdon.

'Harry?'

Harry, are you there?

Hang on, I'm going
to come and find you.

I know it's not in your interest
to diminish the scale
of any security threat,

but it's a long time since anyone
here took the WAE seriously.

Thank you, Mr Hewitt.

You're taking Whittingdon public?
I'd have thought you'd have heard.

I believe it's the biggest flotation
of its kind for quite a while.

May be you'd like to invest?

Thanks.

Phone for you, Roger.

My vote is that our WAE friends hit
them recently, maybe even broke in.

There have been no reports of
disturbances here for two months.

And you'd know, would you?
Yes, actually, it's my remit.

Well, something happened here,
I can smell it.

That call was from Nikki Alexander.

She's got another victim, 100 yards
outside this perimeter fence.

So what do you suggest we do now?

I suggest we tread very carefully.

How many more bodies do you want?

We need to beat seven bells of
crap out of Claire Ashen until

she tells us what
they've been doing.

You need to find Adrian Burney.
I'll call you.

I'll try to get Claire to
re-evaluate her vow of silence.

You coming?

Yes.

I'm coming.

Where's the pathologist?
I don't know.

She went off that way.

Thanks.

Morning. Morning.

No. No. No!

Help! Help! Help!

You know,

someone once told me...

they thought there were two
kinds of conversationalists...

There's the honest type

and then there are those...

..who just treat it all...

..as bit of a game.

Now, personally,

I think I'm an honest type.

But I've got to admit,

I'm starting to have a bit of a
bad feeling about you, Justine.

Cos I think you're
a bit of a game player.

And I really, really don't have
time for game playing.

What about Justine, Claire,
do you know where Justine is now?

Eh?

Is Adrian involved
in what happened?

Was he involved
in what happened to Lisa?

Claire, you do understand
that you are under caution?

Nikki!

What do you think they would say

if they could see you now?

They would say don't help the scum.

Well, Claire, if it turns out
that we do get to Justine

and something has happened to her,
then maybe you might find
out what the scum think about you.

You're absolutely clueless,
aren't you?

You have no idea what's going on.

This is a war.
A war?

A war between you and who?

Between us and them.

Lisa knew that. Justine knew that.

PHONE RINGS

Harry? 'Nikki, where are you?'

Harry?

'Hello?'

CAR STOPS
DOOR OPENS

PHONE RINGS

DCI Mumford. 'It's Harry.'

Have you spoken to Nikki?

Was there anything
else on this other body?

'I got cut off and when I tried
to ring back the line was dead.'

Have you got something
out of Claire Ashen?

'She seems to think there's
some kind of war.' Between who?

'Between them and Whittingdon.

'She's boasting she doesn't
care how many people die.'

Oh, Christ.

Get that body to the mortuary!

Come on! Move it, now!

Open. Come on. That's it.

That's good.

It's all right. Shh, shh.

Nearly there.

What were you doing at that fence?

You work for Whittingdon, don't you?

I don't work for Whittingdon.

Then what were
you doing at that fence!

Unless you tell me,
I'll blow your brains right
into that air conditioning.

I'm a Home Office pathologist.

I was investigating a suspicious
death. Oh, Jesus...

It's OK. Calm down.

How many more of them are going
to be after us now?

I said calm down!

Oh, God.
