Silent Witness (1996–…): Season 14, Episode 2 - A Guilty Mind: Part 2 - full transcript

In her efforts to help Naomi, Nikki believes that Silverlake was self-medicating with an untried depression cure though his widow denies it and a representative of the pill company, posing as a health inspector, tries to have Nikki taken off the case. After she is arrested for shop-lifting and feels perpetually tired, Nikki is referred to a psychiatrist who diagnoses depression. Naomi is highly supportive throughout but, at the hospital, the police make a frightening discovery which questions Naomi's motivation. Even after the real murderer is punished another death occurs, leading to closure for Nikki.

This programme contains some scenes
which some viewers may find upsetting

'Why does this one bother
me so much? Why her? It's so evil.

'It's like an infectious disease,
there's no cure for it.'

'What kind of doctor is Silverlake?'

'He's a consultant neurosurgeon.'

'They say he killed
those three patients.'

I say it wasn't him.

Maybe it was just a very
unlucky ward last night.

So they were all murdered.

Looks that way. Very guilty.
He wants to know how she looks.

You're getting the hang of this.
That is how she looks.



GUNSHOT

Silverlake kills a number of his
patients, then gets himself shot.

The idea that Nigel might have
saved the life of a murderer...

He couldn't bear to live with this
little girl's blood on his hands.

Dr Alexander?

We need to keep an eye
on Nikki - not herself.

Help me.
That's all I'm asking you to do.

A medication for depression.
That would explain his moods.

Ying McCoy has not turned up
for her shift.

She's the only witness we've got.
So we need to find her.

Both prime suspects dead.

This has not been my best week.

There are abrasions without bruising

under the arms on the
left and right-hand side.



There are abrasions to the left
and the right wrists and forearms,

possibly consistent with ligatures.

There are dusky changes
of decomposition

more prominent to
the right-hand side.

Can we have a photo of that, please?

Excuse me, your coffee.

Thanks.

Thank you.

There's a build-up of atherosclerosis
in the blood vessels of the heart.

Ugh, I need some air.

You OK?

Top of the world.

Actually, I was going
to give you a call.

I've come across something
on Professor Silverlake.

Yeah? I'm listening.

I think he was taking an SSRI. Hmm?

Are you OK? Yeah. Fine.

You've just missed them taking out
the liver. Oh, I'm kicking myself.

Sorry, sorry. Did I interrupt?

I was just explaining that...

Carry on. SSRIs are drugs
used to modify behaviour.

They inhibit the re-uptake
of serotonin into
the pre-synaptic cell.

Is that good or bad?
Not always clear.

I'm in desperate need of a
black-and-white world. It depends
on how it affects the individual.

Typically they're used for people
who suffer with mental illness -
depression, for instance.

So you're saying he's a nutcase?

Most people would say they benefit
from their use. Most people?

It's been recorded, anecdotally,
that there have been cases where

a side effect of the drug has
caused violent episodes in some
of the patients taking them.

And that, anecdotally,
is not being a nutcase?

Most people who suffer from
mental illness of course
are not necessarily violent.

That's a relief. Violent episodes
are unusual. However... I love it

when experts use "however",
don't you, Cat?
I hadn't really thought about it.

Yeah, they give you chapter and
verse, and just when you decide you
believe them, they say "however".

It's like the sound of
a coin being tossed.

However...? It may just explain
why Professor Silverlake...

Went on a killing spree?
..behaved out of character.

Silverlake assaulted a number of
patients in front of the hospital.

We've got it on CCTV. Are you
saying the drugs made him do it?

They may provide some mitigation.
It didn't show up on
the first tox screen.

The lab will run the bloods
again and check for it.

I'll hang on to the body
for another day in case
anything else presents itself.

Knock yourself out, but I don't
know if he went on a killing spree.

It's a close-run thing
between him and the nurse,
who looks more guilty.

Five people are dead.

You do all the tests you need.

Hiya. Hello, Julia.
You're looking very lovely today.

Hi, Dr H. Thank you.

I don't know who she's
making all the effort for.

It's certainly not me.

We'd better go back in. Yeah,
they're doing the brain next.
Great(!)

See you. See you.

You know you say you came
across this SSRI thing?

How?

His daughter told me about it.

Oh. Thank you.

SOCO find any medication
when we searched the house?

Nothing.

You all right?

Course I'm all right...Dr H.

Want some lunch later?

Can't. I'll be out.

Where are you going?

Hi, can I try this one on, please?
Of course.

So then we found the nurse dead,

the one who told us
he WAS in the hospital.

Let me understand.

My husband is meant to
have killed her as well?

No! Well, it's possible, I guess.
But no, we think it's more likely

that she killed the patients
and then she killed herself.

Yeah, we think she named your
husband because he had been

in the news and it was the first
name she could think of. I see.

Because we can't put him in
the hospital the night they died.
And we looked very hard.

But we did find something else.

Is everything OK in there?

Yep, it's great.

You look lovely. I really like it.

Do you want some lingerie
to go with it?

Erm... There's no harm in looking.

OK!

This collection would
show you off very nicely.

I'm going to have to resist.
Thanks, though.

We found this CCTV footage.

This happened
the day before the murders.

That's your husband.

Why do you think he did that?

He was angry with them. Angry?

You see these three,

they are the patients
that were murdered.

My husband was at home with me
the night these people died.

They were not his patients. Angry?

A doctor can only help a patient
if they want to be helped.

He tried so hard.

He was angry they didn't.

I don't blame him.

A wasted life is a tragedy.

SECURITY GATES BEEP

Could you come with me, please?
I just need to look in your bags.

Of course.

BEEPING

Do you have your receipts? Yes.

That's not mine. I didn't buy that.

I'm sorry, I don't know how that
got in my bag. I promise you.

There's been some terrible
misunderstanding...

It's Tony down at the main doors.

Can you send a couple
of people down, please?

'Hello, this is Harry Cunningham.
Please leave me a message.'

Harry, it's Nikki. I really need
you to help me. I'm in Pendell's...

Could you please end your call?
I think I'm about to be
accused of shoplifting...

End your call now, please.
You don't have the authority
to tell me to end my call.

Listen, I really need you to
help me. Could you call me back?

Can you come with us, please,
to the security office? Nikki?

Are you OK?

I don't think I am.

Thank you. For what?

I didn't do anything.
You could have kept walking.

Well, I could see you
needed some support.

There's no question I owe you that.

If you admit what you've done, I'll
give you a caution and you won't be
prosecuted. Don't accept a caution.

I didn't do anything. I'd encourage
you to accept a caution.

You're a doctor. If you accept
a caution, you're admitting guilt
and could be struck off.

We are prepared to prosecute.
Look me in the eye.

Did you do it?

No! The presence of the items
in your bag does not prove
your intention to commit theft.

They'd need to see you commit
the theft or putting the items
in your bag. Let them prosecute.

Have you checked the CCTV?

There aren't cameras
in the changing rooms.
You're in no position...

I think I'm in a very
strong position. Why's that?

Because I know I didn't do it.

You're very impressive. Thank you.

Are you a solicitor?

No. But you've done this before?

Don't be silly!

What am I supposed to do?

Let's go.
They're not going to do anything.

You are banned from entering
this store in the future.

Like I was really
going to rush back!

So, do you want to go for a drink or
something? I'd love to, but I can't.

Why can't you?

I need to get back to my flat.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
it was wrong for me to ask that.

I'm not myself.

No, it's fine,
I'm on call overnight.

I'm trying too hard to be myself
and I'm not myself. It's OK.

Listen, Naomi, thank you.
You're amazing, seriously.

Really? Yes. Thanks again.

What are you doing here?

You called me urgently,
said you were being arrested.

So I went to the store
and they said you'd left.

Everything's OK. Everything's OK?

Yeah.

OK?

And you didn't...shoplift?

No.

I'll see you tomorrow.
Can I come in?

No, I'm really tired, OK?

OK.

I can send a sample to another lab.
No.

How quickly do SSRIs metabolise?

SSRIs, yeah, yeah, I do know that.

But I'm not going to tell you.

How quickly do SSRIs metabolise?
Good morning, I'm fine, thanks
for checking on me. How are you?

Sorry, I thought we were
past small talk.

Absolutely, but, you know...
courtesy. How are you?

I am...worried about you. Don't be.
How quickly do SSRIs metabolise?

Depends on the formulations.
Generally. About 48 hours.

So if Silverlake has no traces
of SSRIs in his bloods, then?

He hasn't taken his meds for
a couple of days. Have you
checked his hair? Doesn't show.

He stopped taking his meds.

He's self-medicating anyway,
so he's doing what he wants.

A violent reaction to withdrawal
from his medication is possible.

Stop it. You're forcing the facts
into a conclusion. People have
reacted badly to withdrawal.

Not that I know of.
There is anecdotal evidence.

There's anecdotal evidence
of alien abductions

There is too much
on this to dismiss it.

There's no trace of the drug in his
body and you have a dubious theory.

His wife and daughter describe
his mood changes, there is
statistical evidence,

there are too many violent events
associated with SSRIs. I don't know
why you won't listen to reason.

You seem to want to
defend the drugs. Why?

Nikki! What's in it for you?
Have you got a research
grant hanging in the balance?

Why belittle what might be
a plausible explanation
for his behaviour? Nikki.

There's nothing in it for me.

If someone were prescribed an SSRI,
don't you think they would present a
greater inclination to instability?

A larger-than-normal number
of violent events
shouldn't surprise anyone.

You're a scientist. Think like one.

Ying McCoy. Ying McCoy.

Where was she born?
No worries, I can hold.

Portsmouth?

Yeah.

Yes. Thank you very much.
Hello. Thanks.

What it is is, we are
investigating a shooting,

and we've got a pathologist who says
the shooter's behaviour might be

to do with something called selective
serotonin re-uptake inhibitor.

I know you make a number of
these drugs, I was hoping
I could speak to someone.

Police.

No, I don't think the Public Relation
Department is what I'm after.

Yeah, that's right.
Detective Constable Catina.

SSRIs.

No worries, I can hold.

Every time I mention these
SSRIs, I get put on hold.

Mrs Silverlake?

I just have to get this off.

What are you saying? Is it possible
that he was self-medicating?

In his private GP's medical
records, it said that...

How did you get those?

Naomi brought them to me.

I see. In his medical records,
there's mention that

ten years ago your husband sought
some advice about depression.

Ten years ago? Did he? Yes.

Do you remember any reason...? We
were thinking of getting a divorce.

It was a stressful time.

Naomi hadn't been well and...

depression had run in his family.

No mention of it again?
I imagine he recovered.

When I looked through the house
with Naomi she showed me some
medication your husband

may have taken. It was an SSRI.
When were you in my house?

A few days after your husband died.

I'm sorry, I thought Naomi
would have told you. She didn't.

What if the SSRIs contributed to...?

He dedicated his life
to treating others.

That's how I want him remembered.

I don't care about the rest.

I thought that if I mentioned his
mental health at the inquest...
Look at how he died.

No-one could possibly believe he was
mentally healthy, could they?

Mr Leith is here.

Leith? Department of Health.
Called this morning.

What does he want? To see you.

About?

He's keeping me guessing.

Thank you for seeing me. How can
I help? A sensitive matter, really.

I'd be grateful if it could
stay between these walls.

One of your colleagues has been
looking into the death of
Professor Nigel Silverlake.

Dr Alexander, yes. That's right.

We understand she is considering
the possibility that SSRIs in
some way influenced his behaviour.

I haven't seen her
post-mortem findings.

I was really hoping
that YOU might...

Let me make myself quite clear.

I have the utmost
confidence in my team.

It's not my role to interfere in
a colleague's post-mortem findings.

It might not be your role,
but it may be in your interest.

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

Well, think about it,
and perhaps you will.

Are you threatening me?

Now, why would suggesting that
you act in your own interest
be a threat? Zak.

Yes, Professor? Could you
ask Dr Alexander to join us?

Do you have a card?

I'm afraid I've run out.
Is that right?

Which part of the Department of
Health do you work in, Mr Leith?

MHRA. That's Medicines and
Healthcare Regulatory Agency.

Yeah, I know the acronym.
We all want to have confidence
in the work you do here.

It would be a shame to see that
tainted by some inappropriate

and unsubstantiated remarks
made by a junior colleague.

Thank you for your time.

Zak.

I'll just show him out.

Was that about me?
Yes. And Silverlake and SSRIs.

I've never seen this before, someone
from the DoH trying to influence
the outcome of a post-mortem.

He called me a junior colleague!

I need to report this to the Coroner.
I need to report this to his boss.

I have no idea if you are
responsible or not for sending
Mr Leith to see Professor Dalton,

but I want to make it clear that I
will not tolerate any interference.
Can I just stop you right there?

Alex, could you
come in here, please?

I want to know what information
Mr Leith has and how he got it.

Are you monitoring my e-mails?

Listening to my phone calls?
I expect a full investigation.

This is Alex Leith.

Must have been awkward.

Someone's messing with us. Us or me?

Leo's already reported it.

Any adverse event involving
an SSRI always has a big impact.

Professor Silverlake's death
is getting a lot of publicity.

Connect the two and you'll make some
waves. Who would know I was looking
into it? Someone who works here?

Is somebody watching me? Following
me? Don't get paranoid.

If it was the Department of Heath,
then you could get paranoid,

but this was probably a stunt,
by a drug company PR.
They like fun and games.

And you caught them.
A point to Dr Alexander.

So, how long had she been dead?

At least three days.

And she was chemically
subdued before she died.

I try to chemically subdue myself
every night, don't I, Cat?

Tox screen shows Quetiapine.

It's an anti-psychotic.

And I'm almost certain
that her hands were bound.

Silverlake's fourth victim?
Cause of death is cardiogenic shock.

Ying McCoy was dead
before she was hanged.

Crime scene looked like a suicide.

Yeah. They couldn't open
the door because of the rope.

That had to have been done from
the inside. Explain that. I can't.

Maybe Silverlake tried
to make it look like suicide.

What happened to him? Respectable
man, lots of letters after his name,
suddenly becomes a mass murderer?

We have a problem with it
being Silverlake.

Because? Lividity creates
a problem with the timeline.

What did you find? It's not what
I found, it's what I didn't find.

Lividity is the process whereby
the blood stops moving after death.

It's a process that takes 48 hours
before it comes to a standstill.

See here? This is where the blood
collected after her death.

So we know that she either died
lying on her right hand side

or that she was placed there after
her death. So what's the problem?

I estimate that she lay dead
for two days on her right-hand side

and then was hanged.
Are you certain? It's an estimate.

Well, you know
how much I like certain.

Give me something that doesn't leak.
It could be that

she lay dead for more than
two days, but the point is this.

It couldn't be less.
Less than that, the lividity

would have resettled in her lower
limbs as soon as she was strung up.

That's the law of gravity. It didn't.

There is no sign of lividity
in her lower limbs.

So she lay on her side
for two days or more?

Of that I am certain. Then Silverlake
was dead when Ying was hanged.

That's the problem with the timeline.
I'm not liking this.

Everything about that scene
looked like a suicide,

yet you're telling me it's not a
suicide and it's not Silverlake?

Right. I want to reconstruct
the crime scene tomorrow.
And I want you there.

Naomi! You went to see my mother.

Yes, I wanted to ask her about
the medication that we found and

your father's medical condition.
He didn't have a medical condition.

You really upset her.

I'm sorry, I thought... No!

You see, you didn't think.

That's the problem.

You really upset her and now
she's really upset with me.

I want my father's
medical records back.

I can't give them to you, they're
the property of the coroner.
I want them back now.

I don't have them.

You really shouldn't
have gone to see her.

Is he right?
You're not asking me for an answer.

Not really.

They always think they're right.
Maybe's he's not right.

They couldn't open
the door to the room.

When they found Ying's body,
the cord was tied to the door.

To make it look like suicide.

How does the murderer
get out of the room?

You going to be OK? Yeah.

I just need to be alone and
hate myself for a little while.

I should have arrested her.

I would have saved her life
if I'd have arrested her.

'THUMPING'

'No!'

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

KNOCK AT DOOR

NAOMI: Nikki?

Nikki? Are you all right?

Nikki, I know you're in there.

Naomi?

Is that you?

Hi! Look, um...

I'm sorry about today. I don't know
why I acted like that. It just...

It comes over me sometimes.

No problem.

I just stopped by to see how you are.

Fine. I'm fine. Just a little tired.

Do you want to go out?

Maybe have supper?

No, thanks.

You have to eat.

I'm really not that hungry.

You'll become ill,
your body will break down,

you won't be able to think
properly if you don't eat.

Do you hear me? You have to eat!

This is really silly,
talking through the door like this.

Naomi... It's really silly.
Why don't you open the door?

I'm tired.
I'm going to go to bed early.

Maybe you're coming
down with something.

Why don't you let me in?
Maybe I can help? No, I'm OK.

You don't sound OK. Let me in!
Please. I'll see you tomorrow.

Let me in!

I'm going to bed.
I'll see you tomorrow.

BANGING

The manner is still a big question.
What time is the reconstruction?

Midday. I'll be there. Thanks.

Is Nikki here?

In a meeting. We have a new arrival.

I'll let her know.

Zak, what meeting did Nikki
have this morning?

She didn't. She's just not here
and I didn't want her to look bad.

Have you heard from her? No.

I tried calling her flat,
but there's no answer.

That's not like her. I know.

I mean, I should probably
try and call her again?

I mean you don't think
anything has... No, no, no!

No. Of course not. No.

I'm sure it's nothing, she's fine.
Yeah.

Nikki?

(Nikki.)

(Come on.)

(Come on.)

You're very sweet, I'm OK.

You're OK?

I'm fine. I just need to sleep.

OK.

Are you sure you're OK?

I'll call you later, OK?

Is she all right? I've been
trying to call her all morning.

Er...

Sorry, I don't know... You're?

I'm Naomi Silverlake.
Professor Silverlake's daughter?

Yes, Nikki spoke about you.

Harry Cunningham her colleague.
I'm sorry about your father.

That's very kind of you.
Yeah, she seems...

fine, she's fine,
she's just very tired I think.

I can stay with her,
if you have to go.

Yeah, I do I have to be somewhere
at midday. But erm...

Well, why not if you don't mind?
Of course not, she's a friend.

OK, well, look, here's my mobile.

Call me for...you know,
if there's anything.

OK, and are they're
the keys to the flat?

Yeah. Great.

Look after her. I will.

No request for Quetiapine
was logged on the night,

there was no shortage of it
on the geriatric ward though.

It's a bit scary.

Is she OK?
I think so. She's sleeping.

I've spoken to Dr Banks. Good.

It's here.

How much did Ying weigh, Dr Dalton?

Professor Dalton, sorry.

Erm... 53 Kilograms?

53Kg? So you'd have to
dead lift 116 pounds? How high?

Floor to pipe - 2.8 metres.
How did they do it?

If you look here and here.

There are abrasions under her arms
but there's little or no
sign of any bruising.

And this tells me they were
very careful? There's a hoist.

She must have been already dead
before she got the abrasions

otherwise we'd see more bruising.

What if the killer
sat her up like this

and secured her arms around the bar?

Yep, the marks are consistent
with the width of the bar.

The rope was around her neck
and tied to the door handle
so you couldn't open it.

How would a killer get out?

You could wedge open the door,
tie off the rope and move the hoist.

Look at the photograph
of the crime scene.

There's a stool lying on it's side
on the ground and there's a bucket.

The body is hoisted into place.

The rope is looped around the neck
and then the rope is tied

to the handle of the door,
which is wedged open.

OK, ready when you are.

And the weight of the body closes
the door and keeps it shut.

Yeah? Yeah.

So whoever killed her wanted
it to look like suicide.

But it wasn't Professor Silverlake,
because he was already dead.

A third person?

What are you doing here?
I've been looking after you.

Where are my clothes?

I took them off. You took them off?

You were sleeping in your
work clothes, I wanted you to be
comfortable, don't you remember?

There's nothing to be frightened of.

DOOR OPENS

Harry? You're awake,
how are you feeling?

Oh, Harry! Harry! OK, babes.

Naomi's been looking after you.
You were dead asleep. Harry,

you have to stay with me.
Help me please.

There's someone Leo and I
would like you to see.

I feel OK, just...

very tired.

It's quite a common response.

That's it? Just tired?

I don't know. I think I'm OK.

Anxiousness? Anxiety?
A feeling of helplessness?

Put me down for one of each.

Depression manifests itself
in lots of different ways.

Depression?

It's a broad set of symptoms really,
under one umbrella.

I've never thought of
myself as depressed.

It's an illness
like any other illness.

Treat it correctly, you'll mend.

A kind of psychic sprain?

My soul has the flu.

We're back at the beginning.
The third person could be anyone.

It's not that bad, Skip.
Don't try and humour me.

Two defining factors. They had to
be in the hospital at the time,

and they had to have
medical knowledge.

Already we've moved away
from it being just anyone.

How many people in a hospital
at any given time?

I'd say thousands during the day
and hundreds at night.
It's two separate crimes.

We look at Ying's murder separately.

We saw her in the hospital.

She disappeared that day,
but she never left the building.

Have you any idea
why you're depressed?

Yes. Ah, that's a start.

You think?

I think it's better than
not knowing.

Not knowing might be easier.

Why's that?

I'm depressed because
I live in a world

where natural justice
doesn't prevail.

Where evil seems to thrive
and innocence is ridiculed.

And you think the world
has ever been any other way?

I hope so.

MOBILE RINGS

Do you need to keep that on?

No.

Coming to terms with
the realities of our lives

is very hard
and causes a lot of pain.

You're not alone
in feeling that pain.

I'm feeling better already.

Why's that?

Misery likes company?

Are you a glass-half-full
or half-empty woman?

I think that would depend
on how thirsty I am.

Why would you deflect that question?

Why would you want to avoid telling
me if you were an optimist or not?

Why do you feel the need to ask it?

Optimists suffer more than others.
Do you think?

No. I tend to say things
I don't think.

Do you often feel aggressive?

I wouldn't say often, but it's how
I'm feeling right now.

You know, people with
gambling addictions

have a tendency to be optimists.

The price of tea in
China comes to mind.

They fool themselves into believing
that they can somehow control

all the outcomes of their wagers.
And you think somehow

my optimism shares
the same DNA?

I think you believe in a universe
that has a set of rules,

that is ordered and
understandable, predictable,

and when it isn't, you're very
disappointed. You lose faith.

But this isn't really a rational
way of looking at the world.

I mean, it's idealistic,

it's perfectly acceptable in the
naive, but in someone like you...

It's just embarrassing?

A mentally healthy person tends
to take the world as it comes.

Accepts it. Accepts that
they can't change anything?

Accepts that there's a limit
to what they can control.

We've got to chart Ying's McCoy's
movements in the hospital.

Who saw her last? Hmm.

Do you recall the last thing
she said to you before
she left the ward?

She was very upset,
I think she said she was
going to find Dr Silverlake.

Where's his office from here?

So have you...
have you ever felt panic?

No.

Heard voices? No.

Hallucinated? Nope.

Are you on any other medication?
The pill.

Now there's something
I can vaguely control.

Maybe we're on the wrong floor.

She said the first floor.

Excuse me, could you
point us in the direction of
Dr Silverlake's office, please?

Yeah, sometime before Christmas.

You're just a bucket of chuckles,
aren't you? Yeah, pretty much.

Can you just point us in the
direction of Dr Silverlake's office
and put me out of my misery.

It's Dr Silverlake you want?

Which one?

Would you like the Professor
or the pharmacologist?

I'm going to write you
a prescription, this will help you

control the anxiety,
it's relatively mild. What is it?

Florixil.

It's a selective serotonin
re-uptake inhibitor.

Are you familiar with them?

Yes.

They take two to four weeks
to really take effect.

There is some discussion about the
side effects of this class of drugs.

But the Committee on the Safety of
Medicine have found no evidence.

However, were you feel
more anxious, suicidal,

have a compulsion towards self-harm,
please ring me immediately. OK?

Before or after 999?

Nikki with two Ks.

I think they just need the initial.

You may be depressed,
but you still know who you are.

(Naomi.)

The N wasn't for Nigel.

She's on bereavement leave,
her father died last week.

I'm not entirely sure when
she's scheduled to be back.

And she's a Doctor, right? PhD.

Dr Silverlake, Ying McCoy was
telling the truth all along.

Thank you very much.

We need to find a way
to place her in the hospital -

computers, CCTV, whatever it takes.

I'm on it. Call me when you get it.

They were murdered by someone
exploiting their underlying
medical conditions so

a certain amount of pharmacological
knowledge was necessary.
MOBILE RINGS

That's why we were certain
it had to be a doctor or a nurse.

Yeah?

Beautiful.

Hang on a minute, Cat.

A pharmacologist might look...?

They would have the knowledge.
Just say it. They might look...

Guilty.

Dr Naomi Silverlake
is a pharmacologist.

She was in the hospital on the night
and we can put her at the scene.

She's been looking after Nikki.
I let her have the keys to her flat.

Cat, are you in your motor?
I'm going over there.
What's the address?

Come on, Nikki. She must have
switched her phone off.

That's what it is.
Just switched it off.

SIREN WAILS

Is Naomi here? No.

You knew, didn't you?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Your husband never took those drugs.

The prescription wasn't
for him, it was for Naomi.
Leave our family alone now.

Enough has been done and said.

Why did she want me to look?

Leave us alone.
She knew what I'd find.

She loved her father and Nigel
loved her more than he loved me.

He would have done anything for her.
Anything.

He tried to help her
when she suffered so badly
in medical school.

Depression is so hard to heal.

He was willing to let people believe
he was depressed to help her chances

of success. You know enough.
Let it go.

He didn't kill anyone
at the hospital, did he?

Was he protecting your daughter?

Did he commit suicide
when he realised Naomi
had murdered those patients?

He allowed people to believe
that it was him?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Why did your husband kill himself?

He didn't.

He was a menace. He was shot.

Why did he do it?

He was evil.

Haven't you read the papers?

No.

HORNS HONK

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Skip. There's no sign
of any disturbance.

Well, there doesn't seem
to be anyone in, it all seems OK.

I'll wait here.

HORNS HONK

Go up on the pavement.

MOBILE RINGS
Go on. Go up on the pavement.

Hello?

OK. Yep. Thanks.

That was Skipper,
Catina's already at the flat.

There's no sign of any disturbance.
She's waiting for us there.

OK.

Come on, Nikki,
switch on your phone!

A WOMAN GASPS

SHE GASPS

Naomi!

Oh.

Naomi?

My mother says

I try too hard.

Can you imagine?

Being criticised
for trying too hard.

SHE GASPS AND MOANS

We both want the world
to be kinder, don't we?

Yes.

But it won't be.

SHE SOBS
It can't be you see,
because people are weak.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Cat, I'm outside, where are you?

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

Cat?

I took their burden from them...

CAT!

She's not answering her phone.

That's what I want you to say...
when people ask why.

I took their burden from them.

I was never going to hurt you.

We're very much alike, you and I.

I took their burden from them.

No!

Which floor? First. Quick.

You can't save me,
even my father couldn't save me.

I won't let you die.

Why? What's the point of me?

Cat!

I'll check the flat.

Nikki!

Nikki!

Harry! I need you!

Cat!

OK, I've got you.

SHE WHIMPERS
I've got you, Cat!

SHE GASPS

OK.

Cat!

Come on.

Have you got her?
Yeah. I've got you, Cat.

OK.

All right?
SHE COUGHS

I've got you. All right, Cat.
SHE WHEEZES

I've got you.
Come here, that's it. OK.

OK.

Nothing's going to happen to you.
SHE COUGHS

All right. I've got you.

You're all right. Nothing's
going to happen to you now.

Hello, we need an ambulance.
I'm here now, eh?

SHE WHEEZES

Here you go. Thanks.

No problem.

Scrubs for you.

Great. Thanks.

Did she say anything to you?

Yes. Lots of things.

Like?

"What's the point of me?"
was memorable.

Julia's going to be fine.

Naomi?
Surgeons have stopped the bleeding.

She's in critical care,
under police guard.

Her solicitor will say
she isn't fit to plead.

You should have
let her bleed to death.

Save us all a lot
of trouble, wouldn't it?

I've looked at what they have.
We won't be able to resist it.

I've heard they've got a bed for her
in the women's wing at Castleton.

Is that right?

That doesn't mean anything
to you does it?

That's where they have Jason Bodle.

WOMAN: Naomi.

Time to go in.

Do you know what
I'd love to do to you?

Do you know what I'd
love to do to you?

Are you ready to start?

Yes.

We need to take a bit
of advice on this one.

Dealing with the ancient dead
isn't just science.

You have to coax out their secrets.

You're going to get your arses
down to London.

We could have her sent back.
Shut up!

I know you Leo and this
is not how you behave.

What is going on?

Bill!
You can find her bloody daughter!
