0:00:03 > 0:00:06..came also the resurrection of the dead.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09Christ the first fruits,

0:00:09 > 0:00:12afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.

0:00:12 > 0:00:17For He must reign till He hath put all enemies under His feet.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Hi, Daniel. You're looking well.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04MAN LAUGHS

0:01:39 > 0:01:41HE GASPS

0:01:41 > 0:01:43- ALL:- # Potatoes, whole potatoes pied

0:01:43 > 0:01:46# Enjoy them all especially chips

0:01:46 > 0:01:49# Remember, spuds don't come in ships! #

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Gently?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- How do you do?- I thought it was you, Sergeant.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Detective Chief Inspector these days.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01Oh, so you've swapped one uniform for another? Unlike myself.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03So I see, Brigadier Phillips.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06I'm fighting an impulse to salute.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Seems a long time since you and Archie and the rest

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- dragged a wet-behind-the-ears lieutenant through Italy.- Oh, yeah.

0:02:12 > 0:02:17- So you'd kept in touch?- No, not really, but you turn up, don't you?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Archie was a warrior. Saved my life more than once.- Mine, too.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23He was a good man. A good soldier.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Was he?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- It was 26 years ago, Sergeant. - George.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32My name is George.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Or Detective Chief Inspector if you prefer rank.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Bad form to rake over the coals.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- It was war.- I remember.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42We may have got our hands dirty now and then,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46but we were bloody heroes and I don't mind saying it.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48We've nothing to feel guilty about, George.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Morning.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06I didn't get back till one this morning. This better be good, John.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Or bad, if you see what I mean.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11How was the funeral?

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, the dancing girls were a particular highlight.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16It was a funeral, John.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20I was trying to say, sir, in a roundabout way, are you all right?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Was it someone close?- Old army comrade.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Thank you for your concern, I appreciate it. What have we got?

0:03:29 > 0:03:30This way.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36Place was pretty full last night, apparently, maybe about 20 patrons.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37Something like that.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40And how does this work? Is there a membership or...?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43No. No, you pay on entry. There's an old fella that you give money to.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Thanks. Gives you a towel and a locker key

0:03:45 > 0:03:48and at the end of the night, turns everything off,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50he locks up and he goes home.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Bloody hand print there. It's not going to test our talents much this one, sir.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56There's another smear here, look.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Now, we've got a witness, a man called Francis Walsh

0:04:02 > 0:04:05who says that this fella who's the victim,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08this is Leonard Price...

0:04:08 > 0:04:15he approached another fella who went crazy and...smashed him up.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19No-one intervened?

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Well, the witness got a smack in the face for the pleasure.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26And the rest of them just ran out screaming.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29They're not renowned for their bravery, are they, sir?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Who?- You know, this lot.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Poofters.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36You're jumping to conclusions, John.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- There was no provocation?- None I could see.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Leonard just went over to the lad and he went crazy.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50He was like a wild animal.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Then what happened?- I tried to pull him away and I got this.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59People'll think I've gone all rough trade.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Mr Walsh, were you the only other person in here?

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Nah.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Everyone else left in a hurry.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09No-one helped you?

0:05:09 > 0:05:12It all happened so fast.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16And let's be honest, there's plenty of men in here

0:05:16 > 0:05:18wouldn't want their presence to become common knowledge,

0:05:18 > 0:05:21never mind talk to yous.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23But you stayed?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Leonard was me friend.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- And I don't care who knows what I am.- So you are a...

0:05:30 > 0:05:35HE CLEARS HIS THROAT You know...a practising homosexual?

0:05:35 > 0:05:37HE CHUCKLES

0:05:37 > 0:05:39I'm well beyond practising, Sergeant.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44But only with consenting adults in the privacy of me own home as allowed by the law.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Yeah, yeah. Did you recognise Leonard's attacker?

0:05:47 > 0:05:51I've never seen him before. He just went insane.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53He ran out of here still wearing his towel.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55His stuff's still in his locker.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Right. And that, please.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Up there, sir.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14If only they all left their ID at the crime scene, we'd be home by dinner time every day.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16And then what would you do with yourself?

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Plenty, guv, plenty.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Could take up a hobby.- Such as?

0:06:22 > 0:06:26I don't know, life drawing maybe...with naked ladies.

0:06:26 > 0:06:27Something sensitive and artistic.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Because you're well known for your artistic temperament and sensitive approach.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34You heard Walsh, Scott Tanner went mad.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Better to be safe than sorry this.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Hello, pet. We were just wondering...

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Losing your touch there.- I prefer 'em with teeth.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- You've got the weapon.- Right, fine.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Right.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11No-one here, sir.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Have a look round.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28And who the bloody hell are you? And why are you in my flat?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I'm a police officer.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Thought you looked a bit smart for a burglar.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Back off!

0:07:34 > 0:07:36HE LAUGHS

0:07:36 > 0:07:38You come at me with that and I'll wrap it round your head.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Is that your dog?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43And my bite's worse than my bark, believe me. You back off.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- John.- I'll not tell you again.- John!

0:07:48 > 0:07:52- What's this about?- Are you Scott Tanner?- That's me little brother.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Why?

0:07:54 > 0:07:58I'm DCI Gently, that's DS Bacchus.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01We're investigating a murder and your brother's a suspect.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06HE LAUGHS

0:08:06 > 0:08:08What, you think Scotty...?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Nah. He wouldn't know where to start.

0:08:11 > 0:08:17- So that's not him in army uniform holding a gun?- Aye, it is.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20And there's a reason that he's not a soldier any more.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Scotty's soft, should never have signed up.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Who is it he's supposed to have murdered?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Where were you last night?- Enjoying a bit of R&R.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Right. Where?

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Mostly with a fine young lady by the name of Gwendoline.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Though I suspect that ain't her real name, if you know what I mean?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- When did you last see Scott? - Yesterday afternoon.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Guv...the bedroom was packed in a hurry.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Do you mind if we have a look?

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Half his stuff's gone. Clothes, old kit bag...

0:08:57 > 0:09:00boots, fatigues.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02No, you must have this wrong.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I'm telling you the lad was scared of his own shadow half the time.

0:09:05 > 0:09:11- Any idea where he might have run to? - I've only been back four days, first time in 15 months.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Due to leave again in three.- Flying visit. You in the army?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Not since '63.- What do you do now?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Same as I always did, only I get paid better.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Oh, you're a mercenary?

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Ugly word that, Mr Gently.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29- I'll need a recent photograph of your brother.- Guv!- What?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35It was in the bathroom.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Is your brother homosexual?

0:09:39 > 0:09:43- BOTH GROAN - Hey! Put it down!

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Put it down or I'll arrest you for assault!

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I don't like you much.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00You pull another stunt like that and we'll continue this elsewhere.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Look...I don't know where Scott is.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09I don't know why he'd have killed a fella

0:10:09 > 0:10:12and I don't know what he's talking about neither.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- So you weren't very close then?- Did I say that?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18But I've barely seen Scott for three years.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20He was still serving the last time I was home.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Followed in your footsteps.- And our dad's before that.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28I don't know what was going on with him.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Who does then?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37You want to know about Scott,

0:10:37 > 0:10:41you go and see that doctor of his...the head shrinker.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42I'll need a name.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47And we're going to need the address of this Gwendoline.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Oh, aye?

0:10:49 > 0:10:53She's a strong woman, I'm not sure you'll be man enough for her.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Think you're funny you, don't you? - Photo.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00If you find him...don't hurt him.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03You've got this wrong, I promise you.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07BIRDSONG

0:11:22 > 0:11:26So, I'm having a photograph printed now and a copy'll be given to every officer on patrol.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- And we're calling in other shifts early as well to do house to house. - Good.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33The radio and even the telly are going to do an appeal for information, sir.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Did you remember?- No-one's going to approach him. The word "dangerous" was mentioned several times.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Very good.- All right, here we are. There's no obvious connections

0:11:40 > 0:11:43between Leonard Price and Scott Tanner. OK?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46It says here that he was a regular at the Turkish baths.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48He was well known, he was well liked.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50And he was an accountant at a local firm in Durham,

0:11:50 > 0:11:53but none of his colleagues realised that he batted for the other side.

0:11:53 > 0:12:00He is still dead, you know? Whatever his...affiliations, I mean, he's still a victim, a person.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Here we go. You going to start burning your bras, are we?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I tell you what I'll do, Rachel.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07I'll go and organise a little march for you. How about that?

0:12:07 > 0:12:09No. All I'm saying is that somebody shouldn't have to die just

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- cos they're different. - Did I say that? Hm? Did I say that?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16No, I didn't. So don't put words into my mouth, pet. All right.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Maybe he did get killed because he's different.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- But I did not say that. - All right, all right, all right. Murder's murder.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24We don't know why he died yet, do we?

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Anybody managed to track down Gwendoline?

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Oh, yes. Real name is Hettie Blake.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Confirmed that Mark Tanner did spend the night with her till early morning.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38He tips well apparently and is a very vigorous man.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Well, good. Keep looking into Leonard Price,

0:12:40 > 0:12:42see if there is any connection to Scott Tanner.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Come on.- Where are we going?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50To see Scott Tanner's psychiatrist.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Must be plenty of money in listening to folk sit and whinge all day.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I should get a bonus, then, shouldn't I, working with you.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09That's not very nice, is it, sir?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Dr Stefan Lesley?- Yes.

0:13:14 > 0:13:19I'm DCI Gently, this is DS Bacchus. May we come in, please?

0:13:19 > 0:13:20May I ask what it's regarding?

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yes. It's about one of your patients. Scott Tanner.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Please.- Thank you.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35It's a nice part of town, this, isn't it?

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Yes. My father bought this place years ago. I love it.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41I bet. Just live in a top floor flat, me.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43I'm sure it's got damp.

0:13:46 > 0:13:52Scott Tanner is a fugitive and a suspect in a murder enquiry.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Scott killed someone?- Yes.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57He went...

0:13:57 > 0:14:00crackers in a Turkish bath and he beat a man to death.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03That clearly surprises you.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Well, Scott always seemed like such a gentle young man.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11But troubled, otherwise he wouldn't need a psychiatrist.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13What were you treating him for?

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I mean, was there a specific condition?

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Scott was referred to me after a medical discharge from the Army.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23- By whom?- The MOD.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Was that usual?

0:14:25 > 0:14:27For the Army to pay for an ex-soldier's care?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I don't know, Mr Gently. I'm sorry, is that the correct form of...?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Yes. That's fine, thank you. - I don't know.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38I've had no other dealings with the military so I couldn't say.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Your help looks expensive.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Yes, well, my father came from money.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46He was a very eminent psychiatrist and researcher.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Followed in his footsteps, did you?

0:14:48 > 0:14:53Or, rather, walked in his shadow. Would you like some water?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56No, thank you.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57Scott was a patient of mine.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01I'd like to help you, of course, but, as I'm sure you'll understand,

0:15:01 > 0:15:03our sessions were completely confidential.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08He's a fugitive, Doctor. And I don't want anybody else to be hurt.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Do you? So, if you could, would you please tell us

0:15:12 > 0:15:14why you think Scott might do something like this?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17You say he attacked someone completely unprovoked?

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Apparently, yes.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Scott was exhibiting symptoms of schizophrenia.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34The onset of which often occurs in men in their early 20s.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38He MAY have had a psychotic episode.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Could you elaborate on that for us?

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Well, schizophrenics often experience bouts of extreme

0:15:43 > 0:15:46paranoia, delusions, even hallucinations.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Had Scott had these episodes before?

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Not to my knowledge.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Was he on anti-psychotic medication?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm afraid that's confidential, Mr Gently.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Was Scott Tanner a homosexual?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02That's also confidential.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Because the murder occurred in a Turkish baths

0:16:05 > 0:16:06frequented by such men.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Could an unwelcome approach from another man

0:16:09 > 0:16:13set off one of these psychotic episodes in Scott?

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Or maybe he had a grudge against them

0:16:14 > 0:16:17and went there specifically to attack these men? What do you think?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19You're asking me to speculate?

0:16:19 > 0:16:23All right. Have you any idea where Scott could have gone to?

0:16:23 > 0:16:24No.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27I'm going to need to see his medical records, doctor.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29I don't feel comfortable with that.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Well, I could go to a judge and ask him to order you to hand them over.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36At which point, I'll be more than happy to comply. But not before.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42Very well. If he should contact you or turns up here,

0:16:42 > 0:16:46- if you wouldn't mind...?- Of course. I'll call you immediately.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48So, if my dad had been a psychiatrist,

0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'd get to live in a big house like this would I, huh?

0:16:51 > 0:16:52Talk bollocks all day?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Don't worry, John. You're halfway there.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59Ha! Ha! Can't be good for his reputation, though, can it?

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Doing what he does and one of your clients tops somebody.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05He knows more than he's saying.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09So, we are going to the judge for the medical records, are we?

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yes, we are.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Won't change the fact Tanner did it.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Have you seen this person?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Right...turn!

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Squad...halt!

0:17:41 > 0:17:43About...turn!

0:17:45 > 0:17:47By the right, quick march!

0:17:51 > 0:17:53How does marching up and down like that all day

0:17:53 > 0:17:55make you any better at fighting?

0:17:55 > 0:17:57It promotes discipline and teamwork.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59You could play football for that.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Discipline is the foundation that the Army's based on.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06You, you maggot, get down and give me ten! Go!

0:18:06 > 0:18:11It saves lives, John. And it builds character for later life.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Made you the man you are today, did it?

0:18:13 > 0:18:16In more ways than you could possibly know, John.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'm not sure you're such a great advert, sir.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22SERGEANT SHOUTS ORDERS

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Do you miss it?

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Yes, I do. Some of it.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Course, it's like any other institution.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31It's only as good as the people in it.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34See, I can't imagine you ever letting anybody tell you what to do.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37It's different in a war.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42This'll be our lift.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45LOUD EXPLOSION AND SHOUTING

0:18:51 > 0:18:55GUNFIRE AND SHOUTING

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Ah, Detective Chief Inspector Gently and Sergeant Bacchus, is it?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- That's right.- Sorry to drag you all the way up here,

0:19:11 > 0:19:14but I was keen to run the rule over this mob. How can I help?

0:19:14 > 0:19:15We're investigating a murder.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19The suspect is a former Seaham soldier, Scott Tanner.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Whoever called gave me his name.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23I have 600 men under me here, Gently.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I can't say I know them all personally. But I did look him up.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I appreciate that, Colonel.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30He was discharged on medical grounds 12 months ago.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Could you be more specific? - Mental instability.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Our job here is to turn boys into men, and men into soldiers.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Sometimes that isn't possible.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44For want of a better word, Scott Tanner was weak.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47And an army is only as strong as its weakest link.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Have you ever served?- Me? Nah.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52I'd have guessed not, length of that hair.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Oh, right. An obvious indicator of character, is it?

0:19:55 > 0:19:56You'd be surprised. You?

0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Yes.- Well, then you know what I'm talking about.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01You have to be able to rely on the man next to you.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Your life is in his hands, and his in yours. Correct?- Very much so.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06LOUD EXPLOSION

0:20:10 > 0:20:13I wouldn't have wanted Scott Tanner standing next to me.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Was Scott Tanner a homosexual?

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Homosexuals are not permitted to join the British Army, Sergeant.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Is that why he left?- Was I not clear? He left on medical grounds.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Do you have any idea what his subsequent medical treatment was?

0:20:29 > 0:20:32I haven't thought about him since he left my command. Ask the MOD.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34He is a fugitive.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38And he might turn up here to try and contact some of his former comrades.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40And if he does I'll let you know. And we'll hold on to him for you.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Thank you.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Tanner can't have just vanished into thin air, sir.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10He's a trained soldier, don't forget.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Yeah. But a crap one, apparently. - It doesn't make any difference.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15He still knows how to hide and live off the land, doesn't he?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22What are these medical records going to tell us

0:21:22 > 0:21:24that we don't already know, sir?

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Why would he make us wait until we got a search warrant?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30He's hiding something. He's not answering the door, either.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33BACCHUS RINGS DOORBELL

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Oh! He's hanged himself! John, get out the way.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Guv! Guv! The window's open.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06- He's been dead for a while. Stone-cold.- Oh, God...

0:22:17 > 0:22:22I want to know why. I don't like coincidences, John.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26And when we came here yesterday, he didn't seem like a man

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- unhappy in his life.- Taylor, it's me. Get the police surgeon, will you?

0:22:33 > 0:22:34Just do it, man.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42No Scott Tanner file in here.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47You know what?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Get some officers in.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52I want all this paperwork gone through, the whole lot.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- You think somebody else is involved, don't you?- Maybe.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10All right, mate?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Dad! Dad! It's him.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Stop where you are, son!

0:23:26 > 0:23:27Stop!

0:23:28 > 0:23:30SIRENS WAIL

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Stay there, son. Stay there.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50I want you to tell me if this is the man that killed Leonard Price, OK?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Aye. That's him.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Good.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22We have your wallet.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23We have your clothes.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26We know you were at the Turkish bath.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28BACCHUS CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:24:28 > 0:24:29So, what happened?

0:24:32 > 0:24:33I don't know.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36You know you went there?

0:24:38 > 0:24:39Yeah?

0:24:39 > 0:24:41So, why don't you know?

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- I don't remember. - That's convenient, isn't it?

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Do you know Leonard Price?

0:24:48 > 0:24:49No.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Do you remember attacking Leonard Price?

0:24:55 > 0:24:57No.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00So, why did you go home and pack, why did you run?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- I was frightened. - Of getting caught?

0:25:05 > 0:25:07I didn't know why.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12I don't remember going there.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14But you knew something was wrong?

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yes? Something you done?

0:25:21 > 0:25:22So, what had you done?

0:25:25 > 0:25:29Right, I'm going to jog your memory. You ready?

0:25:29 > 0:25:34You went to the Turkish baths looking for a bit of how's your father, didn't you? Look at me.

0:25:34 > 0:25:39You changed your mind, you killed a bloke, and you ran away.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Does that...does that help you?

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Blood on my hand...

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Yeah, I'll say. You killed Leonard Price, didn't you?

0:26:00 > 0:26:01Didn't you?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03We've got a witness who saw you do it.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10HE WEEPS

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Please I... I need my doctor.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Stefan Lesley.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20We've already spoken to Dr Lesley, Scott.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- And?- Yesterday. When did you last see him?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Last week. Wednesday. I see him every Wednesday.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27- Not today?- No.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31If you needed Dr Lesley, why didn't you go and talk to him?

0:26:31 > 0:26:34He could have helped you cos he knows about your illness.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- My illness?- Yes. - Please. Can I see him?

0:26:40 > 0:26:41Please, can I see him?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43No.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44Please. He'll help me understand.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47He's not going to help you understand, is he? Because he's dead.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Stefan...?- Uh-huh.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Sit down.- No. No, he can't be...

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Did you kill him, Scott? Hm. Did you?

0:27:01 > 0:27:05No, he can't be. No, he can't be! He knows.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07He knows.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15What does he know, Scott?

0:27:16 > 0:27:18What does he know?

0:27:29 > 0:27:31BACCHUS SIGHS

0:27:31 > 0:27:35I'll charge him with Leonard Price's murder, right?

0:27:35 > 0:27:39Yeah. He's not fit to plead yet.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42So get him to High Park Hospital to be assessed.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Right. And then can we go to the pub, yeah?- What for?

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Celebrate a good result. A job well done, that.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54Look at all this paperwork. Must be like Christmas for you.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Leave it, man.- Eh? Shame we've got a result before you manage to finish this lot, ain't it?

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Not so fast, John.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Guv, Tanner flipped out and killed Price.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07And now he's either genuinely blanking it from his memory

0:28:07 > 0:28:09or he's pretending.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Either way, our job is done.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15And what about Stefan Lesley?

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Well, the door was locked, wasn't it?

0:28:17 > 0:28:18There was no sign of forced entry,

0:28:18 > 0:28:21and there was no evidence of anything except suicide.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24The day after his patient commits a murder

0:28:24 > 0:28:25he can't remember anything about?

0:28:25 > 0:28:27That doesn't bother you at all?

0:28:29 > 0:28:30Guv, right. He screwed up with Tanner,

0:28:30 > 0:28:32felt all remorseful and topped himself.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35I don't know, why does anybody ever kill themselves?

0:28:35 > 0:28:37It never makes any sense, does it?

0:28:37 > 0:28:39- And it's not our job to make sense of it.- Oh, John...

0:28:39 > 0:28:42You just don't want to get a round in.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46It's a suspicious death. Related to a murder and our suspect.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48That's very much our purview, John.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51Right now, we've only got Stefan Lesley's word for it

0:28:51 > 0:28:53that Scott Tanner is schizophrenic.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Well, he seemed pretty schizophrenic to me.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59Pardon me if I don't accept your expert medical opinion, Dr Freud.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02But when I asked Scott Tanner about his illness,

0:29:02 > 0:29:03he just looked confused.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Didn't know what the hell I was talking about. No-no-no.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09There's too many unanswered questions about this for me

0:29:09 > 0:29:12- to file it away.- Right.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Have you got Scott Tanner's medical records in that lot?

0:29:14 > 0:29:16No. They're definitely missing, sir.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19Medical, legal and personal.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23I'm in the process of date ordering and alphabetising where appropriate,

0:29:23 > 0:29:25and I'm investigating other lines of enquiries.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Did people used to chuck things at you when you were in school?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30No.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Sir, I thought you might be interested in this as well.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36It's Stefan Lesley's will. This makes very interesting reading.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Rachel, please don't encourage him.

0:29:39 > 0:29:43Look at this. We knew he was wealthy.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46But he's very, very wealthy according to that.

0:29:46 > 0:29:50And Scott Tanner's a beneficiary. One of six.

0:29:51 > 0:29:52SHE COUGHS

0:29:55 > 0:30:02So, what if one of the other five read about Scott Tanner

0:30:02 > 0:30:05in the newspaper, and saw an opportunity?

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Faked Stefan Lesley's suicide, and inherits.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10- Well, yes, that's a motive. - Yes, it is.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Yes, but you're assuming that the killer knows about Tanner's

0:30:13 > 0:30:15relationship with Stefan.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20- It's a bit of a stretch that, sir. - Yes, it is.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22Rachel, get me the details

0:30:22 > 0:30:24and addresses of the other beneficiaries, would you?

0:30:24 > 0:30:25Yes, sir.

0:30:28 > 0:30:29Where's Hopewood?

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Scott! Scotty!

0:30:42 > 0:30:45- This man's under arrest.- Mark! - Where are you taking him?- Taylor.

0:30:45 > 0:30:46Oi! Let go of him.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Calm down. Calm down.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50In the van.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Let me talk to him! Where are you taking him?

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Scott's been charged with murder.

0:30:55 > 0:30:56Scotty?

0:30:56 > 0:30:57I did it, Mark.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Hey. I thought he wasn't a killer?

0:31:02 > 0:31:06Your brother's being taken to High Park Mental Institution

0:31:06 > 0:31:08for assessment.

0:31:08 > 0:31:09Mental hospital?

0:31:11 > 0:31:13Did Scott ever write to you?

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Did he ever talk to you about why he left the Army?

0:31:16 > 0:31:21Once. Just said he'd had enough. I wasn't surprised.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25He was medically discharged. Mental instability.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29Didn't notice any change in him? Dear me, some big brother you are.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31ENGINE STARTS

0:31:33 > 0:31:34What did you do that for?

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Bit off the beaten track this, isn't it?

0:31:52 > 0:31:56Police. I'd like to speak to Dr Jennifer Bing, please.

0:31:58 > 0:31:59I'll give her a call.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Or you could just let us through.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Not without an order.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06- We're the police, man. - Yes. I still need an order.

0:32:08 > 0:32:09Bloody squaddies.

0:32:32 > 0:32:33Come in.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Apparently this is something to do with a murder enquiry?

0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Yes, I'm Detective...- Oh, I'm sure you are who you say you are.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46The Army tend to be very thorough on these things.

0:32:46 > 0:32:47My time is tight, gentlemen...

0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Do you know a Dr Stefan Lesley?- Yes.

0:32:50 > 0:32:51When did you last see him?

0:32:51 > 0:32:54Yesterday. I assume you know that or you wouldn't be here.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57It's just that you were his last appointment

0:32:57 > 0:32:58before he was found dead.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02You don't seem surprised?

0:33:02 > 0:33:04You told the sentry this was a murder enquiry

0:33:04 > 0:33:05and then you mention Stefan.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Ergo, he's either the victim or the perpetrator.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09Now I know which.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Someone's dead. And you don't seem bothered.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14I tend to keep my emotions in check.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Either that or you knew already.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19Actually, it seems that Dr Lesley committed suicide.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22Then this isn't a murder enquiry?

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Well, the man that committed the murder, he's an ex-patient of his.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30A man called Scott Tanner.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31Means nothing to me.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35We discussed this murder with Dr Lesley. He visited you.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39- And soon after he was found dead. - Ergo, here we are.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Why was Dr Lesley here?

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Cup of tea. A social catch up.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48You were friends?

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Former colleagues. He used to work here.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Doing what?

0:33:53 > 0:33:54No idea.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57I don't run the place, just work in my little corner.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Doing?

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Can't tell you that. Official Secrets Act.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04What is this place?

0:34:04 > 0:34:07This conversation is going to get very repetitive, very fast,

0:34:07 > 0:34:09and I don't have the time.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Stefan Lesley visited, and then he left. Clearly.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14I'm sorry to hear he took his own life.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18Though he was always a sensitive and complicated man.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Who chose to spend his final hours visiting you.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26How did Stefan seem when you saw him yesterday?

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Fine.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32Do you want me to lie to you?

0:34:32 > 0:34:35He was clearly shaken by the news about Scott Tanner.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Did he mention him to you?

0:34:38 > 0:34:39No.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42He just drove all the way up here for a cup of tea?

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Maybe he was looking for a warm shoulder to cry on.

0:34:48 > 0:34:49Have you finished?

0:34:51 > 0:34:54This is a military facility?

0:34:54 > 0:34:56No flies on you, I see.

0:34:56 > 0:34:57But you're a civilian?

0:34:57 > 0:34:59Contracted to the MOD, yes.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02If you want to know any more, then take it up with them.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04The sentry will see you out.

0:35:04 > 0:35:09She's a piece of work. Isn't she? I found her strangely attractive.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Stefan Lesley denied all knowledge of the military.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Now we know he worked at an MOD facility.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19I don't see what any of this has got to do with us.

0:35:19 > 0:35:20I think it's you who needs a hobby.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25SHE SIGHS HAPPILY

0:35:25 > 0:35:27C'mon, man, it's not the London Palladium...

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Right, yeah.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35So, there were six beneficiaries of Stefan Lesley's will.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39Scott Tanner, Edward Fuller, Larry Wells, Peter Gartwood,

0:35:39 > 0:35:41Lawrence Bruce and a Mrs Edith Johnson.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44All of the men are serving or former soldiers.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47I take it Mrs Edith Johnson isn't?

0:35:47 > 0:35:50No. But her son Tony was. He's deceased.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Deceased how?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54Tony Johnson died in military service.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57- And he served at Seaham Barracks with Scott Tanner.- A-ha!

0:35:58 > 0:36:02It's all getting a bit less stretchy by the minute, isn't it?

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Well done, Rachel, can you get me the current locations

0:36:05 > 0:36:07of the others and then...?

0:36:07 > 0:36:11Yes. Bruce and Gartwood are still serving. Germany and Gibraltar.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14And Mrs Edith Johnson is 54 and lives in Southampton.

0:36:14 > 0:36:15And what about Wells and Fuller?

0:36:15 > 0:36:18Wells is currently undergoing treatment

0:36:18 > 0:36:20- at a mental facility in Leeds. - What's his condition?

0:36:20 > 0:36:24Severe delirium tremens caused by drugs and alcohol abuse.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27And Edward Fuller now resides in Newcastle.

0:36:28 > 0:36:33That will was changed in their favour a year ago.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35But why, is the question.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40Rachel? No? Dear me, I'm a bit disappointed.

0:36:40 > 0:36:41HE CACKLES

0:36:41 > 0:36:44I'll go and see Fuller in Newcastle.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46John, you go to Leeds and see Wells and Lesley's solicitor.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Hang about!

0:36:48 > 0:36:51You want me to go to a mental asylum in Yorkshire? Why?

0:36:51 > 0:36:54- You're not going to need a passport, you know.- I know that.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57I just don't know what it is exactly I'm meant to be investigating.

0:36:57 > 0:36:58Tanner's not a full shilling, right,

0:36:58 > 0:37:01and neither is this Wells fella, so what?

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Sir, Scott Tanner has got no outstanding prescriptions

0:37:04 > 0:37:07for any medication with any chemists in the Durham area.

0:37:07 > 0:37:08For anything.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11So, Stefan Lesley lied to us about Scott Tanner's condition.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13- He told us he was schizophrenic. - Yeah.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17And Stefan Lesley also said that the symptoms develop as you get older.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20So he should been on neuroleptics to counter them.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22And he wasn't, was he?

0:37:22 > 0:37:24He joined the Army and three years later

0:37:24 > 0:37:26he comes out with mental problems.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30Which makes me wonder, actually, where Hopewood comes in.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34- So, go and see them. And take Rachel with you.- Why?

0:37:34 > 0:37:35Do you want to go?

0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Uh-huh. - That's why. And she's earned it.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Don't think you're getting to drive.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46# I can see for miles and miles

0:37:46 > 0:37:50# And miles and miles

0:37:50 > 0:37:54# And miles

0:37:54 > 0:37:55# Oh, yeah

0:37:58 > 0:38:03# If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you play... #

0:38:03 > 0:38:05ENGINE STOPS

0:38:05 > 0:38:06Morning.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10It's a wild goose chase this, isn't it, huh?

0:38:10 > 0:38:14I don't know why we're doing this, we've already got the killer.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Driving all this way cos the guv's got some

0:38:17 > 0:38:19bloody bee in his bonnet about the Army.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22Isn't that the point, to find out why?

0:38:22 > 0:38:23Don't you start.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25The only reason we find out the why is

0:38:25 > 0:38:27because it leads us to the who.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- We've already got the who. - They're a good band.

0:38:30 > 0:38:31Huh?

0:38:31 > 0:38:32They're a good band.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Who?

0:38:34 > 0:38:35The Who.

0:38:36 > 0:38:37What?

0:38:39 > 0:38:40It doesn't matter.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45You like The Who?

0:38:45 > 0:38:46I do.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48There's hope for you yet.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Eddie Fuller?- Aye.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. I'll do it.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11PATIENT LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Very funny, pal. Very funny.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23All right.

0:39:26 > 0:39:27Not a word, you.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30First I'm hearing of it.

0:39:30 > 0:39:35A man is dead, you certainly gain a lot of money, Mr Fuller.

0:39:35 > 0:39:36You think I killed him?

0:39:36 > 0:39:38No. I'm not saying that.

0:39:38 > 0:39:43But while we're talking about it, where were you yesterday?

0:39:44 > 0:39:47My grandfather is dying. In the infirmary.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51I was with him all day.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Getting my arse kicked at chess.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57So, you've never heard of Scott Tanner?

0:39:59 > 0:40:03He was a soldier, like you. You were never stationed at Seaham?

0:40:03 > 0:40:06I wasn't some crap hat, I was a Para.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08You know what that means?

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Oh, yes. You're not any more?

0:40:11 > 0:40:14Bust me leg. Invalided out.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17Were you ever treated by Dr Stefan Lesley?

0:40:17 > 0:40:21We had medicals all the time but I never took name badges,

0:40:21 > 0:40:24I just coughed when they grabbed me balls.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27What about Hopewood, does that ring any bells?

0:40:29 > 0:40:30I think we're done.

0:40:30 > 0:40:35- So you do know it? What is it? - I cannot talk about it.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38Well, Dr Stefan Lesley worked there. Is that why you were in his will?

0:40:38 > 0:40:42I don't know owt about his will, or why he's left me this money.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44Well, just tell me about Hopewood.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46I can't.

0:40:46 > 0:40:51Look. All I ever wanted to do was serve my country.

0:40:51 > 0:40:55To make sure the next time we go to war, we'll win that one and all.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01I take my loyalties very seriously. I signed the papers.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04I know what's expected of me.

0:41:13 > 0:41:14THE GIRLS LAUGH

0:41:18 > 0:41:19Let me do the talking.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24You watch and learn.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27- I can't wait.- Charlotte Tate? - You are the police officer?

0:41:27 > 0:41:30That's right. Detective Sergeant Bacchus, this is WPC Coles.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Hello, Miss Tate. - You're the one who rang?

0:41:32 > 0:41:34- I am, yes. - Aren't you a rarity, my dear.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37They haven't chained you to the tea urn and the biscuit tray.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39You must be quite the forward thinker, Sergeant.

0:41:39 > 0:41:40That's me.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Sit. Please.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Thank you.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Now, we're enquiring about a Dr Stefan Lesley.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49I believe he was a client of yours?

0:41:49 > 0:41:52- One of many.- Just one of many?

0:41:52 > 0:41:57Really? How many of your other clients killed themselves yesterday?

0:41:59 > 0:42:02More than just a client, I think.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05That was cruel, Sergeant, and unnecessary.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Stefan committed suicide?

0:42:08 > 0:42:11We think so. Any idea why?

0:42:11 > 0:42:13- No.- You're sure?

0:42:15 > 0:42:18He changed his will a year ago, left his money to a bunch of squaddies.

0:42:18 > 0:42:19Why would he do that?

0:42:19 > 0:42:23- I have no idea. - Really? You wrote the will.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26Yes. He was very clear in his wishes.

0:42:26 > 0:42:29Not curious, given that you were clearly a friend of his?

0:42:33 > 0:42:35It's funny this case, really is.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Nobody seems to know anything about anything, or anyone.

0:42:38 > 0:42:42And I feel sorry for Stefan, he's dead

0:42:42 > 0:42:45and nobody seems to care or has a clue about why he did it.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48Either that or they're scared to admit it.

0:42:49 > 0:42:53Why did he leave his money to those men, huh?

0:42:53 > 0:42:56What harm can it do to tell me now?

0:42:57 > 0:42:59I appreciate you've both come a very long way

0:42:59 > 0:43:01but I have nothing more to say.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Right.

0:43:18 > 0:43:19- Gently.- Colonel.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22I'll be putting it all in a box soon.

0:43:22 > 0:43:26I've been selected for promotion. Finally made it to full Colonel.

0:43:26 > 0:43:27Congratulations.

0:43:27 > 0:43:31Well, it may sound arrogant, but I believe I've earned it.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33I see you fought against the Mau Mau.

0:43:33 > 0:43:38Mmm. Korea and Malaya too. I've never shirked war, Mr Gently.

0:43:38 > 0:43:39No matter how savage.

0:43:39 > 0:43:43It is the crucible in which character is forged. Please sit.

0:43:43 > 0:43:44Thank you.

0:43:44 > 0:43:48I'm intrigued as to why you're back here.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51I read that you got your man. Well done.

0:43:51 > 0:43:55I've linked another Seaham soldier to my investigation.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57A man named Tony Johnson.

0:43:57 > 0:44:00Oh, I thought this was all the Tanner boy gone mad?

0:44:00 > 0:44:02What can you tell me about Johnson?

0:44:02 > 0:44:05Different kettle of fish altogether. I remember him well.

0:44:05 > 0:44:08Hell of a recruit. I was devastated to lose him.

0:44:08 > 0:44:09How did he die?

0:44:09 > 0:44:13It was a three day exercise. A mock engagement.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16Johnson went ahead of his unit, he was desperate to win,

0:44:16 > 0:44:18and he caught a live round in the head.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21- It was a terrible accident.- Mm.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- I'd be happy to get you a copy of the report if you wish?- Thank you.

0:44:24 > 0:44:25Corporal Anson!

0:44:27 > 0:44:28Double time it down to Records.

0:44:28 > 0:44:32I need the accident and death paperwork for Private Tony Johnson.

0:44:32 > 0:44:34- Quick as you can, lad.- Yes, sir.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37To die on the battlefield is one thing,

0:44:37 > 0:44:40but to lose a man on exercise is such a waste.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Is it a terrible thing for me to say that I miss combat?

0:44:44 > 0:44:48The exhilaration, the camaraderie.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50The simple life-and-death honour of it all.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52There's no honour in war.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55I know it's a reason that many men go and fight them,

0:44:55 > 0:45:00but it doesn't survive the reality.

0:45:00 > 0:45:03You played your part in the defeat of a great evil,

0:45:03 > 0:45:04there's honour in that, surely?

0:45:04 > 0:45:09You faced an implacable enemy and now we face a greater one.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13Communism is a many headed snake, Mr Gently.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16These people are godless monsters.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19We cannot afford weakness if we are to defeat it.

0:45:22 > 0:45:25What can you tell me about a place called Hopewood?

0:45:27 > 0:45:28What of it?

0:45:28 > 0:45:30It came up in my enquiries.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34I know Hopewood's there but I don't know what they do

0:45:34 > 0:45:36and I wouldn't be able to tell you if I did.

0:45:36 > 0:45:38You know what the Army is like.

0:45:38 > 0:45:42Yes, it's very good at keeping secrets from those it defends.

0:45:42 > 0:45:44The public wouldn't want it any other way.

0:45:44 > 0:45:45We man the barricades.

0:45:47 > 0:45:50I assume you heard about Dr Lesley's suicide?

0:45:50 > 0:45:53- Who?- Dr Lesley, Scott Tanner's psychiatrist.

0:45:53 > 0:45:54I thought you might know him.

0:45:54 > 0:45:56Why should I? Suicide's a coward's way out.

0:45:56 > 0:45:58I've never understood it myself.

0:45:58 > 0:45:59KNOCK ON DOOR

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Ah, good effort, Corporal.

0:46:01 > 0:46:03Here's your report.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08Good day, Detective Chief Inspector.

0:46:08 > 0:46:09And good luck with your case.

0:46:17 > 0:46:21Larry Wells was a lunatic, he really was, he was bouncing off the walls.

0:46:21 > 0:46:24- You couldn't ask him anything. - I know. He was scary, wasn't he?

0:46:27 > 0:46:30If you're not used to that kind of thing, yes, I suppose.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33Eddie Fuller clammed up as soon as I mentioned Hopewood.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36And he claimed he'd never even met Lesley.

0:46:36 > 0:46:39Do you know what, I would love if somebody I didn't know

0:46:39 > 0:46:43left me a stack of cash. Or somebody I did know, come to mention it.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46- Any luck with that solicitor? - Same as you, really.

0:46:46 > 0:46:50They got upset when we said Lesley had died, but denied all knowledge.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53I reckon she was lying about something.

0:46:53 > 0:46:54I'd agree, sir.

0:46:54 > 0:46:55DOOR OPENS

0:46:57 > 0:46:58Evening, sir.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01- George. A private word, please? - Certainly.

0:47:09 > 0:47:11- Can I get you a scotch? - No, thank you.

0:47:15 > 0:47:17What are you playing at with the Army, George?

0:47:17 > 0:47:20I thought you had a suspect in custody for this murder?

0:47:20 > 0:47:22I'm investigating two deaths.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25The other one's a suicide, I'm led to believe.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Why are you wasting time on that?

0:47:27 > 0:47:30Have you come all the way down here just to ask me that?

0:47:30 > 0:47:34As the senior investigating officer, I choose to.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37- How does the MOD fit in with that? - I don't know yet.

0:47:37 > 0:47:38Well, I've had a call.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41All requests for interviews with military personnel

0:47:41 > 0:47:43have to come from my office

0:47:43 > 0:47:47and then go to a military liaison officer who will "consider" them.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50- I see.- Is this going to get embarrassing, George?- Who for?

0:47:50 > 0:47:53For them. For us. The establishment.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56Why don't you put it to bed, eh? I mean, you've got a result.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58There's no-one else asking questions but you.

0:47:58 > 0:48:01Are you ordering me to ignore evidence

0:48:01 > 0:48:03and abandon my enquiry, sir?

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Because if so, I think I'd like that in writing.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07Just walk quietly, George.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10If you think this has got the makings of a scandal,

0:48:10 > 0:48:11I need you to tell me.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Then we can decide how we're going to proceed.

0:48:13 > 0:48:14Cover it up, you mean?

0:48:14 > 0:48:18I mean, do your job, man. And shove it up the chain of command.

0:48:20 > 0:48:25And any requests for military interviews come to me, as requested.

0:48:33 > 0:48:34Right...

0:48:36 > 0:48:39Just to be clear, I've just told your guvnor that no-one,

0:48:39 > 0:48:44no-one speaks to the Army without my say-so.

0:48:44 > 0:48:46- Do you understand?- Yes, sir.

0:48:46 > 0:48:47You?

0:48:47 > 0:48:50Oh, aye, yeah. Crystal clear, sir.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52So there's no misunderstandings.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00Somebody's rattled his cage.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03He's just making sure we understand our orders.

0:49:03 > 0:49:08So what's he after you doing, marching up and down the corridor out there is it?

0:49:08 > 0:49:11No. Not yet. Although he did mention a haircut.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14SHE SNIGGERS

0:49:14 > 0:49:18Somebody at the MOD doesn't like our investigation.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21They want to hide something. And my guess, it's Hopewood.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Who won't speak to us.

0:49:24 > 0:49:25Scott Tanner might.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33INDISTINCT SPEECH

0:49:35 > 0:49:37DISTANT YELLING

0:49:37 > 0:49:39HE SHOUTS

0:49:45 > 0:49:49If there was something wrong, you could have told me, you know.

0:49:49 > 0:49:51I'd have come back.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Why did you do it, Scotty?

0:49:57 > 0:49:59Why kill the bloke?

0:49:59 > 0:50:00I don't know.

0:50:02 > 0:50:03I don't remember.

0:50:07 > 0:50:11Stefan's dead too. But I didn't do that.

0:50:13 > 0:50:14I swear, Mark.

0:50:19 > 0:50:20He was my only friend.

0:50:22 > 0:50:23Whatever they...

0:50:25 > 0:50:29I was home, Scott. Why didn't you talk to me?

0:50:29 > 0:50:30You remember when we were kids?

0:50:34 > 0:50:35I wanted to be just like you.

0:50:38 > 0:50:39But I knew I wasn't.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Knew I embarrassed you.

0:50:45 > 0:50:49Other kids would pick on me and you'd batter them for it.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51But after, I'd see the look in your eye.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56I knew what you thought.

0:50:56 > 0:51:00No. You were my little brother. That's all that ever was.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05I wanted to make you proud.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09That's why I signed up.

0:51:09 > 0:51:10And I liked the Army.

0:51:14 > 0:51:15Till Hopewood.

0:51:15 > 0:51:16What is that?

0:51:18 > 0:51:20Is that why this happened?

0:51:22 > 0:51:24Is that why this happened?

0:51:35 > 0:51:38Stay in the car. He's not your biggest fan.

0:51:38 > 0:51:41I don't see why that's my fault.

0:51:41 > 0:51:45What are you doing here? Come to get your confession signed,

0:51:45 > 0:51:48wrap it all up, lock my brother away for ever?

0:51:48 > 0:51:50I know there's something else going on, Mark.

0:51:50 > 0:51:53From when Scott was still serving in the Army.

0:51:53 > 0:52:00"Serving." Aye, we served. Follow your orders. No questions asked.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03Whatever they had you do, eh, Mr Gently...

0:52:03 > 0:52:07We used to be the good guys, it's what I always thought.

0:52:07 > 0:52:09It's why I signed up.

0:52:09 > 0:52:11So what changed?

0:52:11 > 0:52:12My eyes were opened.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15You think the Americans had a monopoly

0:52:15 > 0:52:19on baby-killing and massacres? I was in Kenya.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22And we did things there, called it soldiering.

0:52:24 > 0:52:28You tell men the enemy are less than human, bad things happen.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32I guess it's always been the way.

0:52:32 > 0:52:34So what's this got to do with your brother?

0:52:34 > 0:52:37I never thought we'd do it to our own.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39That can't stand.

0:52:39 > 0:52:41Then talk to me.

0:52:42 > 0:52:43MARK SCOFFS

0:52:43 > 0:52:45What are you going to do?

0:52:45 > 0:52:49You're just the same as them, you just wear a different uniform.

0:52:55 > 0:52:57DISTANT SHOUTS

0:52:57 > 0:52:58Come on, Colin.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Thank you.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10How can anybody ever get better in a place like this?

0:53:10 > 0:53:11Is that the idea, Guv?

0:53:11 > 0:53:15I thought it was to stop them hurting other people.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18It does say "criminally insane" over the door, doesn't it?

0:53:18 > 0:53:20Some of them don't even know what they've done.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22The world's not perfect, is it?

0:53:25 > 0:53:27Bloody hell.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31What have they given him?

0:53:31 > 0:53:32Largactil.

0:53:43 > 0:53:44You remember us, Scott?

0:53:46 > 0:53:49Have you remembered anything else since we last spoke?

0:53:51 > 0:53:55I killed a man. I know that.

0:53:55 > 0:53:57But I didn't remember doing it.

0:53:58 > 0:54:02How is that? How could that happen?

0:54:04 > 0:54:06Is it something to do with Hopewood?

0:54:11 > 0:54:13- I can't tell you.- No.

0:54:15 > 0:54:17Cos you signed the papers?

0:54:21 > 0:54:24I've signed the papers too. So has John.

0:54:27 > 0:54:28Yes.

0:54:29 > 0:54:31You did?

0:54:31 > 0:54:34Yes. How else would we know about Hopewood?

0:54:44 > 0:54:45Why did they send you there?

0:54:48 > 0:54:50I...

0:54:52 > 0:54:56I volunteered. It was a...

0:54:58 > 0:55:00..a day out.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03MEN LAUGHING

0:55:04 > 0:55:08MUSIC: "I Feel Free" by Cream

0:55:15 > 0:55:20# Feel when I dance with you

0:55:20 > 0:55:24# We move like the sea

0:55:25 > 0:55:28# You, you're all I want to know... #

0:55:28 > 0:55:29It was fun. We were...

0:55:30 > 0:55:33HE LAUGHS

0:55:33 > 0:55:34We were so high.

0:55:34 > 0:55:37Keep it straight, keep it tight!

0:55:37 > 0:55:41# I feel free

0:55:41 > 0:55:43THE MEN LAUGH

0:55:43 > 0:55:45# I feel free

0:55:47 > 0:55:49# I can walk down the street, there's no-one there

0:55:49 > 0:55:52# Though the pavements are one huge crowd

0:55:52 > 0:55:55# I can drive down the road, my eyes don't see

0:55:55 > 0:55:58# Though my mind wants to cry out loud

0:55:58 > 0:56:02# Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

0:56:03 > 0:56:07# Ah, ah, ah, ah... #

0:56:07 > 0:56:09HE LAUGHS

0:56:09 > 0:56:11# ..Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... #

0:56:11 > 0:56:13How old are you?

0:56:13 > 0:56:16- 23. How old are you? - HE LAUGHS

0:56:20 > 0:56:22What drugs were you given?

0:56:23 > 0:56:25I don't know. We weren't told what or why.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28That was part of the test.

0:56:28 > 0:56:32We were free like, to come and go as we pleased.

0:56:34 > 0:56:35But um...

0:56:42 > 0:56:44But then it changed.

0:56:44 > 0:56:46SOUND DISTORTS

0:56:55 > 0:56:58HE CLICKS FINGERS Scott.

0:56:58 > 0:56:59Changed how?

0:57:06 > 0:57:09Men in black masks.

0:57:09 > 0:57:14You only see their eyes and their teeth. They were shouting at me.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16DISTORTED SHOUTS

0:57:20 > 0:57:22You were given drugs and tortured?

0:57:24 > 0:57:26And Dr Stefan Lesley was there?

0:57:28 > 0:57:29Yes.

0:57:31 > 0:57:33Why were you tortured, Scott?

0:57:36 > 0:57:38Because I wouldn't tell.

0:57:40 > 0:57:43They knew, and they wanted me to admit it.

0:57:47 > 0:57:51But I'm not weak. I was a good soldier.

0:57:53 > 0:57:54Yes, good lad.

0:57:58 > 0:58:00What happened in the steam room?

0:58:11 > 0:58:13I was lonely.

0:58:27 > 0:58:30SCOTT MOANS

0:58:37 > 0:58:41And then I had blood on my hands and I ran away.

0:58:42 > 0:58:44- What about Dr Lesley?- No.

0:58:46 > 0:58:48No, Stefan was my friend.

0:58:52 > 0:58:54When they threw me out, he came to me.

0:58:54 > 0:58:56He told me it wasn't my fault.

0:58:59 > 0:59:00They pushed us too far.

0:59:05 > 0:59:08And now there's no way back, is there?

0:59:10 > 0:59:13You heard him. They volunteered for it.

0:59:13 > 0:59:17- They signed up for it.- Oh, that makes it all right, does it?

0:59:17 > 0:59:19Well, the Army must have had their reasons, sir,

0:59:19 > 0:59:21or they wouldn't have bothered, would they?

0:59:21 > 0:59:25- If the Commies are doing the same... - We have to do it as well. Of course.

0:59:25 > 0:59:28It's all about the greater good, isn't it?

0:59:28 > 0:59:30It's just an excuse, John.

0:59:34 > 0:59:39Guv, what's going on, huh? What's this all about?

0:59:39 > 0:59:42Guv, Tanner volunteered and Stefan Lesley killed himself

0:59:42 > 0:59:45because maybe he felt guilty, I don't know.

0:59:45 > 0:59:46But it's not a crime. It's not...

0:59:46 > 0:59:49Are you saying what happened to that boy wasn't a crime?

0:59:49 > 0:59:51No. It's not one for us to investigate, sir.

0:59:51 > 0:59:54That's down to his brief and the courts. All right?

0:59:54 > 0:59:56- Get in the car.- Guv!

1:00:16 > 1:00:17Are you all right, pet?

1:00:17 > 1:00:19What have you got there, is it your homework, is it?

1:00:19 > 1:00:22No. It's the pathology report on Stefan Lesley.

1:00:22 > 1:00:24Right. Go on, then, is it suicide?

1:00:24 > 1:00:28- He was murdered.- You're joking?! - He died of a broken neck.

1:00:28 > 1:00:30But before the rope went near him.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35He was right, wasn't he? He was right all along.

1:00:35 > 1:00:37I hate it when he's right.

1:00:37 > 1:00:40He's going to be all magnanimous an' all, which makes it even worse.

1:00:42 > 1:00:44Right. OK. Come on then.

1:00:45 > 1:00:47I suppose you want to watch me eating humble pie?

1:00:50 > 1:00:52Sir.

1:00:52 > 1:00:55You were right. I take it all back.

1:00:57 > 1:00:59Well, well, well.

1:01:00 > 1:01:02You weren't to know, were you?

1:01:03 > 1:01:06Question is, who and why?

1:01:07 > 1:01:11Well, I reckon Mark Tanner's capable of snapping a few necks.

1:01:11 > 1:01:15Indeed he is. Why would he kill Lesley now?

1:01:17 > 1:01:19And what about those medical records?

1:01:19 > 1:01:22All right, maybe...

1:01:22 > 1:01:25Yeah, listen. Maybe...

1:01:25 > 1:01:27Maybe Scott tells Mark ages ago what happened.

1:01:27 > 1:01:31And then when Scott snaps, goes mental and kills Leonard Price,

1:01:31 > 1:01:35Mark blames and goes after the people that messed with his head.

1:01:35 > 1:01:39It's just simple revenge, isn't it? Strong motive that.

1:01:39 > 1:01:40Yes, it is.

1:01:42 > 1:01:45But why would Mark take the medical records?

1:01:46 > 1:01:49Somebody at Hopewood knows what happened.

1:01:49 > 1:01:52You want to go and see that scary woman again, don't you?

1:01:52 > 1:01:55- Yes. We could take her out to tea. - That's a good idea, yes.

1:01:55 > 1:01:57Because the last person she had a drink with

1:01:57 > 1:01:59ended up with their neck snapped.

1:01:59 > 1:02:02Should I call the ACC's office, sir, and put a request in.

1:02:02 > 1:02:03What for?

1:02:03 > 1:02:06Well, for an interview. ACC Hale said that we...

1:02:06 > 1:02:08Forget about Hale.

1:02:08 > 1:02:11With all respect, sir. It's easy for you to say, sir, but I...

1:02:11 > 1:02:14- Rachel, this isn't a discussion. - She is right, Guv.

1:02:19 > 1:02:21But then, you don't care, do you?

1:02:21 > 1:02:24I care about catching a killer. Nothing else.

1:02:24 > 1:02:26Certainly not about helping them to cover it up.

1:02:31 > 1:02:32Don't worry about it.

1:02:32 > 1:02:35This conversation never happened, all right?

1:02:35 > 1:02:37- As far as you're concerned. - Which conversation?

1:02:37 > 1:02:40Exactly. Listen. Do me a favour.

1:02:40 > 1:02:43Get a uniform to get Mark Tanner here, right?

1:02:43 > 1:02:45I still think he's the killer.

1:02:56 > 1:02:59I don't appreciate being coerced, Mr Gently.

1:02:59 > 1:03:01Is that what you think this is?

1:03:01 > 1:03:04You told the sentry you'd arrest me the minute I left the facility

1:03:04 > 1:03:05if I didn't speak to you.

1:03:05 > 1:03:07You're a civilian. That would be my right.

1:03:07 > 1:03:11I've informed my employers at the MOD. That is my right.

1:03:17 > 1:03:20I know about the psychological warfare tests

1:03:20 > 1:03:22carried out on Scott Tanner and others.

1:03:22 > 1:03:25And I know about the torture and the beatings.

1:03:25 > 1:03:27SHE LAUGHS SOFTLY

1:03:27 > 1:03:29You find that funny?

1:03:29 > 1:03:33I find it amusing that you take the ravings of a lunatic as fact.

1:03:33 > 1:03:35There were no beatings or torture.

1:03:35 > 1:03:39We conducted clinical trials under controlled conditions.

1:03:39 > 1:03:40Yes, they were secret tests.

1:03:40 > 1:03:43But the soldiers signed on the bottom line, volunteered

1:03:43 > 1:03:46and were well looked after. That was Lesley's responsibility -

1:03:46 > 1:03:49to devise the tests and monitor their mental well-being.

1:03:49 > 1:03:50Stefan Lesley was murdered.

1:03:53 > 1:03:55You look a little emotional there, Doctor.

1:03:55 > 1:04:00Someone broke his neck and dressed it up to look like suicide.

1:04:00 > 1:04:03Have you any notion who would do that? Or why?

1:04:03 > 1:04:05None.

1:04:05 > 1:04:06Stefan Lesley rewrote his will -

1:04:06 > 1:04:10left everything to your test subjects. Why would he do that?

1:04:10 > 1:04:14- I don't do supposition, Mr Gently. - Oh, I do.

1:04:14 > 1:04:18Guilt. Because of what he was party to here.

1:04:18 > 1:04:21Scott Tanner says he was given massive doses of drugs,

1:04:21 > 1:04:25and then beaten and tortured. And you were there.

1:04:25 > 1:04:26You have to understand.

1:04:26 > 1:04:29We know the Soviets and the Chinese are running similar tests.

1:04:29 > 1:04:32- So we drop to their level? - I had a job to do.

1:04:32 > 1:04:35It was your job to drive Scott Tanner insane?

1:04:35 > 1:04:38Scott Tanner was mentally unstable when he walked through the door.

1:04:38 > 1:04:40Weak. We learned that quickly.

1:04:42 > 1:04:47The brutal truth is that this fact made him

1:04:47 > 1:04:50the most useful subject, the most susceptible.

1:04:50 > 1:04:56- To what? - LSD primarily. Also BZ, THC and PCP.

1:04:58 > 1:05:02Gentlemen, what Scott Tanner has described to you

1:05:02 > 1:05:05are his hallucinations, not what really happened to him.

1:05:07 > 1:05:11I'm breaking protocol doing this, but I'm going to show you something.

1:05:11 > 1:05:14And then perhaps you'll concentrate your enquiries elsewhere.

1:05:19 > 1:05:23This is classified film showing tests we conducted at Hopewood.

1:05:23 > 1:05:25'October 1967.'

1:05:25 > 1:05:27The idea was to drop LSD on enemy formations,

1:05:27 > 1:05:30rendering them unable to fight.

1:05:30 > 1:05:32'The first doses were administered at 11.00 hours.'

1:05:32 > 1:05:34'The enemy target is over there.

1:05:34 > 1:05:37'Remember what we're doing here, lads.

1:05:37 > 1:05:40'Remember why we're here. Keep it tight over there, come here.'

1:05:40 > 1:05:43'At 11.45 the first effects became apparent.

1:05:46 > 1:05:48'The test subjects began to lose co-ordination

1:05:48 > 1:05:51'and concentration on the task at hand.

1:05:52 > 1:05:55'The subjects stopped taking orders and became disorientated.'

1:05:57 > 1:06:00SOLDIERS LAUGH

1:06:00 > 1:06:03As you can see, it was hardly torture.

1:06:05 > 1:06:08'Subject seven became increasingly paranoid and fearful

1:06:08 > 1:06:11'and was removed from the test arena.'

1:06:11 > 1:06:14Were these the only tests you conducted on Scott Tanner?

1:06:14 > 1:06:17And tests to see if the drugs aided in interrogation.

1:06:17 > 1:06:19We were looking for a truth serum.

1:06:19 > 1:06:22'Can you tell me a little bit about your family.'

1:06:22 > 1:06:25'The subjects were asked a series of questions.'

1:06:25 > 1:06:27'I've a brother.'

1:06:27 > 1:06:30The idea was to take men we knew had a secret and see

1:06:30 > 1:06:34if we could get them to divulge it under the influence of the drugs.

1:06:34 > 1:06:35Did it work?

1:06:35 > 1:06:40No. The drugs proved a blunt instrument. Too wayward.

1:06:40 > 1:06:42So you tortured them instead?

1:06:43 > 1:06:46As I said, Mr Gently,

1:06:46 > 1:06:50Scott Tanner's persecution exists entirely in his own mind.

1:06:52 > 1:06:54INDISTINCT SPEECH

1:06:57 > 1:06:59Can you go back to the beginning?

1:07:13 > 1:07:14What are the soldiers' names?

1:07:16 > 1:07:21Tanner, Fuller, Wells, Gartwood, Bruce and Johnson.

1:07:21 > 1:07:22Thank you.

1:07:27 > 1:07:31Your former colleague is dead, Dr Bing, because of what occurred here.

1:07:31 > 1:07:34- Your life could be in danger. - From who?

1:07:34 > 1:07:36Scott Tanner's got a brother.

1:07:36 > 1:07:39He's ex-special forces and we don't know where he is.

1:07:39 > 1:07:41He may be looking to seek revenge on those people that he

1:07:41 > 1:07:44thinks are responsible.

1:07:44 > 1:07:45What do you suggest I do?

1:07:45 > 1:07:49With your permission, I'd like to send officers to escort you

1:07:49 > 1:07:51home and remain with you.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53You really think that's necessary?

1:07:53 > 1:07:57I would hate to be standing over another body with a broken neck.

1:08:00 > 1:08:03- You're very persuasive.- Yeah.

1:08:16 > 1:08:20No sign of Mark Tanner at home. They don't know where he is.

1:08:20 > 1:08:24Our question is, will he go after Dr Bing?

1:08:24 > 1:08:26If it's him.

1:08:26 > 1:08:30Well. Who else is it, sir? And why protect her if it isn't?

1:08:30 > 1:08:34So we know exactly where she is if I need to speak to her again.

1:08:34 > 1:08:35Off MOD land.

1:08:39 > 1:08:41Have a look at this.

1:08:41 > 1:08:44- Guv, I'm on my break now! - Go on. Just have a look.

1:08:44 > 1:08:48Darwin told me that Tony Johnson died at Seaham barracks

1:08:48 > 1:08:51on manoeuvres. There's the report signed by him.

1:08:51 > 1:08:54So what's the date of death?

1:08:54 > 1:08:57- 14th October 1967. - 14th October 1967.

1:08:57 > 1:09:03And the Hopewood film that we saw is also the 14th October 1967.

1:09:03 > 1:09:08How could he be dying at Seaham if he was taking LSD at Hopewood?

1:09:09 > 1:09:12Darwin lied to us and the film proves it.

1:09:12 > 1:09:14Guv, why would he lie?

1:09:14 > 1:09:17These tests are public knowledge nowadays, aren't they?

1:09:17 > 1:09:19They're all above board, they're all sanctioned.

1:09:19 > 1:09:20John, John, John...

1:09:22 > 1:09:28Tony Johnson died at Hopewood because of the tests.

1:09:28 > 1:09:30You know yourself that the greater good

1:09:30 > 1:09:33and personal interest often become the same thing.

1:09:33 > 1:09:35And Darwin's up for promotion.

1:09:38 > 1:09:40Why is this getting under your skin so much?

1:09:43 > 1:09:45Shut the door.

1:09:53 > 1:09:55HE SIGHS

1:09:57 > 1:10:04That funeral I went to. Archie Leeson. A man who saved my life...

1:10:06 > 1:10:12We got pinned down by a sniper - this is up in a bell tower -

1:10:12 > 1:10:15and he killed three of our platoon before he finally ran

1:10:15 > 1:10:18out of ammo and surrendered. Waved a white flag.

1:10:20 > 1:10:24So down he comes, and he's just a boy.

1:10:24 > 1:10:2717 or 18, his uniform didn't even fit him.

1:10:29 > 1:10:33He's got a little white flower in his lapel. Prisoner of War.

1:10:35 > 1:10:39But men had died and Archie lost it.

1:10:41 > 1:10:45Others joined in, and they beat that boy to death.

1:10:47 > 1:10:48And you?

1:10:50 > 1:10:51No.

1:10:53 > 1:10:54No.

1:10:56 > 1:10:59And when they had finished, the men were

1:10:59 > 1:11:03looking at each other, horrified at what they had done.

1:11:03 > 1:11:07But it was murder, pure and simple.

1:11:11 > 1:11:14Well, he was the enemy, wasn't he, sir?

1:11:18 > 1:11:21Yes, he was. But he'd surrendered.

1:11:23 > 1:11:26It made us no different from the Nazis, it's what they did.

1:11:27 > 1:11:31And I knew I should have reported it, but my lieutenant,

1:11:31 > 1:11:34Lieutenant Phillips, said no. And I went along with him.

1:11:36 > 1:11:40Because I told myself that these were men I'd been fighting with

1:11:40 > 1:11:43for months, it was my officer's job not mine.

1:11:43 > 1:11:46What did one enemy boy matter against everyone else?

1:11:47 > 1:11:49And it was wrong.

1:11:50 > 1:11:53I let it pass and it was wrong.

1:11:53 > 1:11:55It's not your responsibility.

1:11:58 > 1:12:01Edmund Burke said that for evil to flourish,

1:12:01 > 1:12:04it's only necessary for good men to do nothing.

1:12:07 > 1:12:08Which is what I did.

1:12:12 > 1:12:14And I carry that guilt with me.

1:12:23 > 1:12:25Do you know what, sir?

1:12:26 > 1:12:29So much suddenly makes sense about you.

1:12:30 > 1:12:32THEY LAUGH

1:12:34 > 1:12:36So...what now?

1:12:39 > 1:12:42Detective Chief Inspector Gently?

1:12:42 > 1:12:46Yes. Yes, thank you for speaking with me, sir.

1:12:46 > 1:12:48Well, I haven't heard of you in 20-odd years

1:12:48 > 1:12:50and now twice in a week.

1:12:50 > 1:12:52Well, I'm conducting a murder enquiry.

1:12:52 > 1:12:54It has a military connection.

1:12:54 > 1:12:57There are channels for this sort of thing, Gently.

1:12:57 > 1:13:00And they've been closed. No-one is talking.

1:13:00 > 1:13:03A man has been murdered, and someone wants to cover it up.

1:13:03 > 1:13:06Does that sound familiar to you, Brigadier?

1:13:07 > 1:13:09What do you want?

1:13:09 > 1:13:13Service record of a Lt Colonel James Darwin,

1:13:13 > 1:13:15currently at Seaham barracks.

1:13:15 > 1:13:18If I go down channels, they'll just close me down.

1:13:18 > 1:13:21You want me to put a fellow officer in the frame for murder?

1:13:21 > 1:13:23If he's guilty.

1:13:51 > 1:13:55You two. Out of the car now. NOW!

1:13:57 > 1:14:00- Sir, please calm down. - Move it. Shut up.

1:14:00 > 1:14:04You try anything and I'll shoot you down and take her anyway.

1:14:04 > 1:14:08Now, back away. Up the road, all the way. Run!

1:14:08 > 1:14:10- Can you drive?- Yes.

1:14:10 > 1:14:12Right, well, get out of the car.

1:14:12 > 1:14:14Stay there!

1:14:14 > 1:14:18You try anything and I'll put a bullet in your leg. Shut the door.

1:14:18 > 1:14:20Stay there. Don't move!

1:14:22 > 1:14:25Drive. Drive!

1:14:31 > 1:14:35- Sir. Sir! Somebody just kidnapped Dr Bing at gunpoint.- Where?

1:14:35 > 1:14:37Outside Hopewood. Sounds like Mark Tanner.

1:14:37 > 1:14:39He took the squad car with her in it.

1:14:39 > 1:14:40We should try his flat, sir.

1:14:40 > 1:14:43Right. Nobody is to approach him without my say-so.

1:14:43 > 1:14:46Check Dr Bing's house and the Tanner apartment first.

1:14:46 > 1:14:47PHONE RINGS OK, sir.

1:14:51 > 1:14:54Sir! There's a call for you. A Brigadier Phillips.

1:14:54 > 1:14:56No. We haven't got time for that. Sir, come on.

1:14:56 > 1:14:58- No. Carry on. - We haven't got time, sir.

1:14:58 > 1:15:00It's all right. Wait for me in the car.

1:15:00 > 1:15:03BACCHUS MUTTERS

1:15:03 > 1:15:05DR BING WHIMPERS

1:15:10 > 1:15:14A man died in this room because of what you did to my brother.

1:15:14 > 1:15:17- Please, I don't know anything... - No more lies!

1:15:17 > 1:15:21I'm going to ask questions, you're going to answer them.

1:15:21 > 1:15:23Just like Scotty.

1:15:26 > 1:15:28SHE WHIMPERS

1:15:28 > 1:15:31I'm a woman.

1:15:31 > 1:15:33You think that I haven't killed women before?

1:15:35 > 1:15:37SHE SCREAMS

1:15:37 > 1:15:42Now there's nothing that I haven't done for Queen and Country.

1:15:42 > 1:15:44That's one thing that me and you have got in common.

1:15:47 > 1:15:50Guv, the car's been spotted outside Lesley's.

1:15:57 > 1:15:59Go! Go!

1:16:02 > 1:16:04MUFFLED MOANS

1:16:06 > 1:16:08It's all right. You can leave.

1:16:09 > 1:16:11It's all right.

1:16:11 > 1:16:12SHE GASPS

1:16:12 > 1:16:14- Are you all right?- Yes.

1:16:14 > 1:16:18You sure? It was Mark Tanner, wasn't it?

1:16:18 > 1:16:19- Wasn't it?- Yes.

1:16:26 > 1:16:27Thank you.

1:16:29 > 1:16:30Who's he really after?

1:16:31 > 1:16:34You know what I'm talking about, don't you?

1:16:34 > 1:16:36I can make a very good case for you being

1:16:36 > 1:16:39involved in the murder of Stefan Lesley.

1:16:39 > 1:16:41- I had nothing to do with it. - No. But you know who did, don't you?

1:16:41 > 1:16:44- What do you mean? - He didn't kill Stefan Lesley.

1:16:44 > 1:16:47He wants to find his killer, same as we do.

1:16:49 > 1:16:50Now...

1:16:53 > 1:16:54What happened at Hopewood?

1:16:59 > 1:17:00It was Darwin.

1:17:02 > 1:17:04He went too far.

1:17:06 > 1:17:08Tell me what you are!

1:17:09 > 1:17:11Tell me!

1:17:12 > 1:17:14Tell me, or he dies.

1:17:14 > 1:17:16SCOTT PANTS

1:17:16 > 1:17:18Yes.

1:17:18 > 1:17:20What are you?

1:17:20 > 1:17:22HE WHIMPERS

1:17:22 > 1:17:24I'm...I'm queer.

1:17:27 > 1:17:30All this because they were homosexual?

1:17:30 > 1:17:34No! That was irrelevant to us. But not to them.

1:17:34 > 1:17:37It was the secret they were keeping. It was a test.

1:17:37 > 1:17:39It was just meant to be a test.

1:17:39 > 1:17:43But Darwin wouldn't stop until he broke those boys.

1:17:43 > 1:17:46He was way beyond his orders. He knew it meant the end of his career.

1:17:46 > 1:17:48And yours. You kept quiet.

1:17:48 > 1:17:50Well, what would speaking out have achieved?!

1:17:50 > 1:17:54Hmm? Stefan was looking after Scott. He...

1:17:54 > 1:17:57He'd convinced him that it was a hallucination.

1:17:57 > 1:17:59That it hadn't really happened.

1:17:59 > 1:18:02And the memory came back and he killed somebody

1:18:02 > 1:18:03and you still kept quiet.

1:18:03 > 1:18:05Stefan came to see me in a panic.

1:18:07 > 1:18:10He was going to ruin all our lives.

1:18:10 > 1:18:14Another innocent man, because we stood by and did nothing.

1:18:14 > 1:18:17Fine. You're right. But we can't change that now.

1:18:17 > 1:18:20But we can help Scott Tanner!

1:18:20 > 1:18:21How?

1:18:21 > 1:18:22By showing it wasn't his fault.

1:18:22 > 1:18:25By telling the world what we did to him.

1:18:25 > 1:18:28No-one will ever believe you. You can't prove anything.

1:18:28 > 1:18:32I've got copies of the films, Jennifer. They show everything.

1:18:32 > 1:18:33It's enough to condemn us all.

1:18:36 > 1:18:38And you warned Darwin that Stefan was having

1:18:38 > 1:18:42an attack of conscience and was going to make these films public?

1:18:42 > 1:18:44Yes. But he told me that Stefan had seen reason.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46That he was going to hand these films back.

1:18:46 > 1:18:49- I never thought that... - Did you tell Mark Tanner this?

1:18:49 > 1:18:51- He was going to kill me. - Where did Tanner go to?

1:18:51 > 1:18:55He made me call Darwin, said I had to meet him at Hopewood.

1:18:55 > 1:18:59I want a written statement out of you. And I want those films.

1:19:08 > 1:19:10That's Lesley's car. Stop!

1:19:25 > 1:19:26Guv. Guv!

1:19:33 > 1:19:35TYRES SCREECH

1:19:47 > 1:19:49HE GRUNTS IN PAIN

1:20:19 > 1:20:21Move. Move now!

1:20:22 > 1:20:25Now get up on your feet. On your feet and look at me.

1:20:25 > 1:20:28- Mark! Put it down, mate.- Or what?

1:20:28 > 1:20:32What? You're going to set your dog on me again, are you?

1:20:32 > 1:20:34Now do us all a favour and walk away.

1:20:34 > 1:20:36Gently, this man is insane.

1:20:36 > 1:20:39Do you know what he did to my brother?

1:20:39 > 1:20:41Yes.

1:20:41 > 1:20:44Then he deserves to die. Get back, you!

1:20:44 > 1:20:46- Mark! Mark!- I won't tell you again.

1:20:46 > 1:20:50Mark! And what about your brother then?

1:20:50 > 1:20:54He's locked up. I can't help him now. Except like this.

1:20:54 > 1:20:56Some justice.

1:20:56 > 1:20:59What? And then I lock you up for the rest of your life?

1:20:59 > 1:21:00It'd be worth it.

1:21:00 > 1:21:04No. No. Mark, he'll only get charged with manslaughter.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06Diminished responsibility.

1:21:06 > 1:21:08He'll be out while he's still a young man.

1:21:08 > 1:21:10And then you can be there for him.

1:21:10 > 1:21:13You do this. You're going to be leaving him on his own again.

1:21:14 > 1:21:15Now, step aside.

1:21:15 > 1:21:17DARWIN GRUNTS

1:21:17 > 1:21:18Gently, step aside.

1:21:18 > 1:21:19I can't do it, Mark.

1:21:19 > 1:21:21He's got to pay!

1:21:21 > 1:21:23He will. I promise.

1:21:30 > 1:21:32Scott'll definitely get out?

1:21:32 > 1:21:33Absolutely, yes.

1:21:48 > 1:21:52You know I've got to arrest you, Mark, for what you've done?

1:21:52 > 1:21:54- Aye.- Yes. Go on, then.

1:21:58 > 1:22:01'What are you going to do? Are you going to cry, eh?

1:22:01 > 1:22:04'Are you going to cry? Filthy pig.

1:22:07 > 1:22:11STEFAN LESLEY: 'Stop this, please. Please, it's too much.'

1:22:11 > 1:22:12- DR BING:- 'Take him out.'

1:22:20 > 1:22:22Sit down there, Colonel.

1:22:22 > 1:22:23Thank you, Constable.

1:22:31 > 1:22:35'Tell me what you are! Tell me!'

1:22:41 > 1:22:44'Tell me, or he dies.

1:22:44 > 1:22:45'What are you?!'

1:22:46 > 1:22:48'I'm...I'm queer.'

1:22:48 > 1:22:49'Both of you?'

1:22:49 > 1:22:51SCREAMING, GUNSHOT

1:22:51 > 1:22:54'Turn that off. Turn that off now.'

1:23:01 > 1:23:06You tortured those boys because of what they were.

1:23:06 > 1:23:08I didn't care what they were.

1:23:08 > 1:23:11I just wanted to see what it took to make them admit it.

1:23:11 > 1:23:13It was Lesley's own theory -

1:23:13 > 1:23:15the bigger the secret, the better the test.

1:23:15 > 1:23:17They just wanted to be soldiers.

1:23:17 > 1:23:20And they knew that admitting it would end their careers.

1:23:20 > 1:23:23And you destroyed them for that.

1:23:23 > 1:23:27What war has ever been won by staying within the lines?

1:23:27 > 1:23:31We are faced with an enemy who knows no boundaries.

1:23:31 > 1:23:35So yes, if some savage cuts the head off one of mine,

1:23:35 > 1:23:40I will cut off three of theirs. And his balls too. That is war.

1:23:40 > 1:23:44Yes, but maybe your superiors wouldn't see it that way.

1:23:44 > 1:23:46Nothing they could admit to.

1:23:46 > 1:23:48The public would get squeamish at the necessities

1:23:48 > 1:23:50enacted in their name.

1:23:50 > 1:23:54You lied about Tony Johnson's death and covered it up.

1:23:54 > 1:23:58And you told me that you didn't know Dr Stefan Lesley, and yet you

1:23:58 > 1:24:01were the commanding officer at Hopewood when he was there.

1:24:01 > 1:24:03A lie I was forced to tell.

1:24:03 > 1:24:05- Need to know and all that. Really this is just...- Yes. Yes.

1:24:05 > 1:24:09Yes. Now you thought you'd gotten a way with it, hadn't you?

1:24:09 > 1:24:10Hadn't you?

1:24:10 > 1:24:14Until Dr Bing telephoned you to tell you that Stefan Lesley

1:24:14 > 1:24:15was going to tell tales.

1:24:15 > 1:24:18I wanted to save Stefan from himself.

1:24:18 > 1:24:19BACCHUS CHUCKLES

1:24:19 > 1:24:21Right. So you did go and see him?

1:24:21 > 1:24:24I admit to seeing him. No more.

1:24:24 > 1:24:27You killed Stefan Lesley to shut him up.

1:24:33 > 1:24:36You think this will ever see the inside of a courtroom?

1:24:36 > 1:24:38HE SCOFFS

1:24:38 > 1:24:41You actually think they're going to let you do this?

1:24:42 > 1:24:45Oh, Gently, you are an idealist.

1:24:46 > 1:24:48I pity you, man.

1:24:50 > 1:24:52DARWIN CHOKES

1:24:52 > 1:24:54Guv. Guv!

1:24:54 > 1:24:56Hey, Guv!

1:24:56 > 1:24:58DARWIN MOANS

1:25:08 > 1:25:09See...

1:25:11 > 1:25:13We're all savages in the end.

1:25:14 > 1:25:16I've got the films, Darwin.

1:25:18 > 1:25:22Jennifer Bing gave us everything to save her own skin.

1:25:22 > 1:25:24You are going to be tried

1:25:24 > 1:25:26and convicted for the murder of Dr Stefan Lesley.

1:25:29 > 1:25:31SHE LAUGHS

1:25:32 > 1:25:34I dare you.

1:25:34 > 1:25:35Howay then.

1:25:35 > 1:25:37SHE CLEARS THROAT

1:25:37 > 1:25:38Sir.

1:25:46 > 1:25:48HE SIGHS

1:25:48 > 1:25:50Right. Where is he?

1:25:51 > 1:25:53No idea, sir.

1:25:53 > 1:25:55What is the bloody meaning of that?

1:25:58 > 1:26:00That's a good result that, isn't it?

1:26:00 > 1:26:04That's a disaster, you idiot. Who called the papers?

1:26:04 > 1:26:06I told him! I told him to tell me first,

1:26:06 > 1:26:08so we can manage it.

1:26:08 > 1:26:10And I was stupid enough to think that he would.

1:26:12 > 1:26:13Who, sir?

1:26:14 > 1:26:18You tell Gently I want him. The moment he arrives, right?

1:26:19 > 1:26:21Right-o.

1:26:26 > 1:26:29Gently. Here we are again.

1:26:29 > 1:26:31Thank you for coming.

1:26:34 > 1:26:35I see you got your man.

1:26:37 > 1:26:39Hell of a stink you've created up there.

1:26:39 > 1:26:40Darwin seems to be a monster.

1:26:40 > 1:26:43So, well done, for bringing him to justice.

1:26:43 > 1:26:45Why did you want to see me?

1:26:45 > 1:26:48I wanted to tell you to your face.

1:26:48 > 1:26:49Tell me what?

1:26:49 > 1:26:51I'm going to file a report.
