BANG ON DOOR Hey! Hey!

0:01:020:01:04

Hey!

0:01:040:01:05

COUGHS

0:01:050:01:08

Hey!

0:01:080:01:09

-HE COUGHS

-Have a drink of water.

0:01:090:01:11

A doctor!

0:01:110:01:12

-You're fine.

-Doctor!

0:01:120:01:14

Sir.

0:01:140:01:15

COUGHS

0:01:150:01:17

I'm sure he's faking it.

0:01:170:01:19

Doctor!

0:01:190:01:21

A doctor.

0:01:210:01:24

COUGHS

0:01:240:01:26

Oh, sweet. Picking something out for your niece, are you?

0:01:260:01:29

Please, Office Kessler.

0:01:290:01:32

Please!

0:01:320:01:33

COUGHS

0:01:330:01:35

Open the cell door and call Doctor Ross.

GASPS

0:01:510:01:53

This is Gordon Cairns at Redhill.

0:02:040:02:07

I'm afraid I've got some bad news about your brother.

0:02:070:02:10

He died in his cell earlier today.

0:02:100:02:13

The prison doctor thinks it was a heart attack -

0:02:130:02:16

unrelated to his cancer.

0:02:160:02:18

Well, at least it was quick.

0:02:190:02:21

Miss Wade?

0:02:240:02:25

Yes, I'm still here.

0:02:250:02:27

Look, I need to go now. Er...

0:02:270:02:29

You have my condolences.

0:02:290:02:31

Thank you.

# No matter where you come from

0:03:440:03:48

# No matter who you are... #

0:03:480:03:50

What's the occasion?

0:03:510:03:52

Do we need an occasion?

0:03:520:03:54

# You don't need no ID... #

0:03:540:03:57

It's a bit damp.

0:03:570:03:58

Oh, it'll clear up.

0:03:580:03:59

Where's your sense of adventure?

0:03:590:04:01

Will it keep?

0:04:030:04:04

I've got to nip into work for an hour.

0:04:050:04:07

Maybe longer.

0:04:070:04:09

Sure. It'll keep.

0:04:090:04:11

# You might be a child of the streets... #

0:04:140:04:15

You're working too hard.

0:04:150:04:17

Just one thing after another, really.

0:04:170:04:19

Love you.

0:04:200:04:22

Love you too.

0:04:220:04:23

Hello!

0:06:070:06:08

My daughter...

0:06:290:06:31

I was on the phone to my daughter.

0:06:310:06:33

Need to call her back.

0:06:330:06:35

What's your name?

0:06:350:06:37

Rachel.

0:06:370:06:39

OK, Rachel. Right...

0:06:390:06:41

Stay, wait, no, no...

0:06:410:06:43

Stay with me, Ra...

0:06:430:06:45

Stay with me. Stay!

0:06:450:06:48

Come on, Rachel!

0:06:580:07:00

Come on!

0:07:000:07:02

She died in my arms.

0:07:160:07:17

She died right...

0:07:170:07:19

I saw her eyes just...

0:07:210:07:23

There's what looks like a... a healed bullet wound in the back,

0:07:300:07:33

and this bruising - extensive bruising - but there's nothing

0:07:330:07:36

that explains all this blood.

0:07:360:07:37

Have you been drinking?

0:07:370:07:38

HE SIGHS

0:07:380:07:41

What of it? I've had a couple, yeah. Come on!

0:07:410:07:43

For Christ's sake! She's not carrying any ID or wallet, yeah?

0:07:430:07:47

She's got no shoes on.

0:07:470:07:48

She's got no seat belt mark across her chest -

0:07:480:07:50

wherever she was coming from, she was in a screaming hurry

0:07:500:07:53

and she's covered in blood that is still wet and that isn't hers.

0:07:530:07:56

There is another victim out there somewhere!

0:07:560:07:59

Make sure you get that written up when you get back to the station.

0:08:070:08:09

Yeah, OK, right.

0:08:090:08:11

Have you had any luck IDing her from the car?

0:08:110:08:13

Lease car, innit?

0:08:130:08:15

Gave them a call, went straight through to voice mail.

0:08:150:08:17

Leo?

0:08:200:08:21

Looks like she reversed hard into a white post.

0:08:230:08:27

Don't suppose you know which direction she was driving in?

0:08:290:08:32

Stop!

0:08:510:08:53

Leo, maybe we should wait for the police.

0:09:050:09:08

Fine. I'm going in.

0:09:090:09:10

That woman had a healed bullet wound in her back -

0:09:130:09:15

we've no idea what she was mixed up in.

0:09:150:09:16

The person who lost all that blood might still be alive.

0:09:160:09:19

Oh, Christ.

0:09:320:09:33

Leo.

0:09:360:09:37

Looks like he was bludgeoned with something.

0:10:020:10:04

Well, it wasn't for money.

0:10:080:10:10

Nick Owen, 28.

0:10:100:10:13

I'll make some calls.

0:10:130:10:14

PHONE LINE BEEPING

0:10:250:10:27

I was on the phone to my daughter.

0:10:340:10:36

Need to call her back.

0:10:360:10:38

Laptop charger's still warm, but no laptop.

0:11:350:11:36

-Ow!

-Nikki?

0:11:390:11:40

Nikki!

0:11:400:11:41

-You OK? What happened?

-I'm fine. Go!

0:11:420:11:44

See if you can get a look at him.

You OK?

0:12:460:12:48

-I'll survive.

-Sure?

0:12:480:12:51

Shit! Shit! Shit!

0:12:520:12:53

Leo, we...

0:12:530:12:55

She worked for the Prison Review Agency.

0:12:550:12:57

The victim.

0:12:570:12:58

-Leo? Wha....?

-Maybe she was killed because of her work.

0:12:580:13:02

We need fresh eyes on this.

0:13:020:13:03

Get yourself checked out, won't you? And "I'll be fine" are famous last words

0:13:030:13:07

-as far as head injuries are concerned.

-All right, I will.

0:13:070:13:09

Nikki, why did you go into the house?

0:13:100:13:13

Why didn't you wait until help arrived?

0:13:130:13:15

We were worried in case someone was hurt.

0:13:150:13:17

You mean you were worried and Leo couldn't reason with you.

0:13:170:13:20

Actually, it was the other way around.

0:13:200:13:22

So, where were you heading when you found her?

0:13:220:13:25

I was on my way home.

0:13:250:13:26

From?

0:13:260:13:28

Highgate.

0:13:280:13:29

-MOBILE PHONE RINGS

-Sorry.

0:13:290:13:31

RINGING TONE

0:13:330:13:34

Home?

0:13:380:13:39

-Yes.

-Tell me about it!

0:13:390:13:41

I'm supposed to be at my son's school concert.

0:13:410:13:44

So, what were you doing in Highgate? Seeing friends?

0:13:440:13:48

No. No, just, um...

0:13:480:13:50

...spending some time there.

0:13:510:13:52

Fair enough. Don't go anywhere.

0:13:540:13:57

Killer knocks on the front doors, Rachel's on the phone in the kitchen...

0:13:590:14:03

..so Nick says he'll get it.

0:14:040:14:06

Rising spatter along the walls suggests he was retreating

0:14:090:14:12

as he was beaten with some heavy and as yet unidentified object.

0:14:120:14:17

Smashed watch - he tried to protect his face as he backed away...

0:14:170:14:22

Boot treads should give us a make.

0:14:250:14:27

And the blood gives us chronology.

0:14:280:14:30

I think she slipped and fell on her way out.

0:14:300:14:32

That explains the blood on her legs.

0:14:320:14:34

I think you're right.

0:14:360:14:37

And even with a massive skull fracture,

0:14:370:14:40

it would've taken some time for the blood to pool like that.

0:14:400:14:42

So she was hiding... trying to find her car keys?

0:14:420:14:45

How terrified must she have been?

0:14:470:14:49

Shall we?

0:14:540:14:56

Professor Dalton.

0:14:590:15:01

Nail on the right ring finger is chipped.

0:15:060:15:09

Might be a defensive injury.

0:15:090:15:11

Murderer's left something behind.

0:15:110:15:14

I want to swab his eyes too.

0:15:140:15:16

Skull fracture could explain the redness - it could be a...

0:15:160:15:19

Subconjunctival haemorrhage?

0:15:190:15:20

-Mm.

-Yes,

0:15:200:15:21

but that doesn't explain the puffiness.

0:15:210:15:23

Give you that.

0:15:260:15:27

See? Faculties undimmed.

0:15:270:15:29

Still going to see Matron, though.

0:15:290:15:30

You're sure he went in that direction?

0:15:320:15:34

What with being punched in the face and everything?

0:15:340:15:36

100%.

0:15:360:15:37

OK, we'll check CCTV. Might get lucky.

0:15:370:15:40

Picked up her husband, guv. Peter Kruger.

0:15:400:15:41

Coming in for questioning.

0:15:410:15:43

Great.

0:15:430:15:44

Well, if he's a suspect,

0:15:440:15:45

you should ask my colleague Dr Cunningham to examine him.

0:15:450:15:48

Tonight! When I grabbed his legs, he must have fallen hard on that drain.

0:15:480:15:52

So he might have some abrasions?

0:15:520:15:54

Yeah. And it'll fade.

0:15:540:15:55

I'm gonna need you to take your shirt off, Mr Kruger.

0:15:550:15:58

What do you think?

0:16:120:16:13

I don't know. Maybe.

0:16:170:16:20

I think he would've had some bruising from the drain cover.

0:16:200:16:23

Why don't you hang around for a bit, see if anything comes back?

0:16:230:16:25

So, you and your daughter Liesel were staying with Rachel's mother

0:16:300:16:34

-less than an hour away?

-Yes.

0:16:340:16:36

Why go through the hassle of staying the night?

0:16:380:16:40

My wife was very busy with work.

0:16:410:16:43

She was a director of the Prison Review Agency.

0:16:450:16:49

She was finalising a report.

0:16:490:16:51

Which is why Nick Owen was at your house?

0:16:510:16:53

Yes. He's her assistant.

0:16:530:16:55

Hmm.

0:16:550:16:56

And you had no problem with a young, handsome guy like that

0:16:560:16:59

spending time with your wife, in your house,

0:16:590:17:01

-while you were baby-sitting down the road?

-No.

0:17:010:17:04

What was wrong with the office?

0:17:040:17:06

Rachel, erm...

0:17:080:17:09

Rachel liked to drink in the evening.

0:17:100:17:12

Fair enough.

0:17:120:17:13

And I take it your mother-in-law can provide you with an alibi.

0:17:130:17:16

I popped out to the pub for an hour.

0:17:210:17:23

On my own.

0:17:230:17:25

Talk to anyone?

0:17:270:17:29

No.

0:17:290:17:30

And afterwards, I, erm,

0:17:320:17:34

I didn't go straight home.

0:17:360:17:38

No?

0:17:380:17:39

No, I, erm...

0:17:390:17:40

I walked around the village for a bit. Er...

0:17:400:17:43

Half an hour or so.

0:17:430:17:45

You "walked around the village"?

0:17:450:17:47

I needed some headspace.

0:17:480:17:50

OK.

0:17:500:17:52

What was on your mind?

0:17:520:17:53

(SIGHS) I was formulating a proposition.

0:17:540:17:57

An ultimatum.

0:17:580:17:59

I was gonna tell Rachel she had to choose between her work or her family.

0:18:020:18:07

Why?

0:18:090:18:10

Because her work was putting us in danger.

0:18:110:18:13

Are you suggesting your wife's murder is related

0:18:150:18:17

to her work at the Prison Review Agency?

0:18:170:18:19

Yes. Specifically her review of Redhill Prison.

0:18:190:18:23

Were there any threats to Rachel's life that would support that theory?

0:18:270:18:30

No.

0:18:320:18:33

Any other kind of intimidation?

0:18:330:18:36

We found skin tissue under Nick Owen's fingernails

0:18:400:18:43

that almost certainly belongs to the killer.

0:18:430:18:45

It's being tested now for DNA.

0:18:450:18:47

Is there anything you wanna tell me, Peter?

0:18:500:18:52

Anything at all?

0:18:540:18:56

Are my daughter and mother-in-law still here?

0:19:010:19:03

Yes.

0:19:030:19:05

Then I need to be with them.

0:19:050:19:08

She's got her man. They're j-just waiting on the DNA.

0:19:110:19:14

The jealous husband motive doesn't add up.

0:19:160:19:19

I don't know - Nick Owen was tall and handsome, fine physique.

0:19:190:19:21

Right, so Kruger kills him in a jealous rage, chases his wife to her death,

0:19:210:19:26

then goes back to the scene of the crime and steals the laptop...

0:19:260:19:29

OK.

0:19:290:19:30

Sorry.

0:19:320:19:34

Sorry for everything.

0:19:360:19:37

You've had quite a night. I think you should go home.

0:19:370:19:41

Night-night.

0:19:410:19:42

BOTH: Night.

0:19:420:19:43

Do you think he's OK?

0:19:470:19:48

Yeah.

0:19:480:19:50

Had a shock, that's all.

0:19:500:19:52

He's used to the dead, not the dying.

0:19:520:19:54

No, I mean generally.

0:19:540:19:56

Have you noticed he never talks about her any more?

0:19:560:19:59

-Who?

-Janet!

0:19:590:20:00

Oh. Can't say I noticed.

0:20:000:20:02

-Course you hadn't.

-What's that supposed to mean?

0:20:020:20:05

I'm sensitive!

0:20:050:20:06

I intuit.

0:20:070:20:08

I'm so sorry.

0:20:100:20:12

That's OK. I'll do the whole recital when you get home.

0:20:120:20:16

Oh, I don't know, that could be on the late side.

0:20:160:20:19

I'm keeping my tux on and everything.

0:20:190:20:21

(LAUGHS)

0:20:210:20:23

All right, sweetheart.

0:20:230:20:25

I'll see you soon. I'm so proud of you.

0:20:250:20:27

Bye.

0:20:270:20:28

Bye.

0:20:280:20:29

Everything OK?

0:20:320:20:33

(SIGHS) Be better when we've shot more holes in Kruger's alibi.

0:20:350:20:38

There'll be other concerts.

0:20:410:20:43

See you tomorrow, Steve.

0:20:460:20:47

See you.

0:20:480:20:49

All right.

0:20:580:20:59

That's it.

0:20:590:21:01

Peter.

0:21:060:21:08

My name is Leo Dalton.

0:21:100:21:11

I'm the man who tried to...help your wife.

0:21:110:21:13

I'm so sorry.

0:21:150:21:16

CAR HORN BEEPS

0:21:160:21:17

Did she...did she say anything?

0:21:190:21:22

She was severely concussed.

0:21:240:21:25

She did say something about, um, being on the phone to her daughter and...

0:21:290:21:33

that she'd have to get back to her.

0:21:330:21:35

Was that it?

0:21:370:21:38

Nothing else.

0:21:390:21:40

SIGHS

0:21:430:21:44

Do you really think that her work got her killed?

0:21:470:21:49

Why do you care?

0:21:500:21:52

Because, from what I've seen,

0:21:520:21:54

the police are very keen to wrap this up quick.

0:21:540:21:56

I'm a pathologist, and my colleagues are working on the case.

0:21:590:22:01

I can't prove anything.

0:22:030:22:05

Well, do you know anyone who can?

0:22:050:22:07

Someone from the Prison Review Agency?

0:22:070:22:10

Phoebe.

0:22:100:22:13

Phoebe Harron - Rachel's co-director.

0:22:130:22:15

She might know something.

0:22:150:22:17

Can you give me her number?

0:22:170:22:18

You give me your number and if she wants to contact you, she can.

0:22:210:22:24

Um...

0:22:250:22:27

Rachel...

0:22:270:22:29

had what looked like a... a healed bullet wound in her back.

0:22:290:22:33

She was shot in Basra in 2003.

0:22:340:22:36

Royal Military Police.

0:22:360:22:38

Bullet lodged in her spine and it stayed there.

0:22:380:22:40

But it was migrating.

0:22:420:22:44

One day, it was gonna kill her.

0:22:450:22:47

Made life pretty hard for all of us, you know.

0:22:480:22:51

Especially for her. I need to, er...

0:22:530:22:56

Cheer up, Ellis.

0:24:130:24:14

Want some wings?

0:24:490:24:51

We have too much.

0:24:510:24:53

-No, I'm all right.

-Go on.

I don't like waste.

Hello?

0:25:400:25:41

This is Phoebe Harron. I can meet you tonight.

0:25:410:25:43

We worked at Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons

0:25:430:25:47

before we started the agency

0:25:470:25:49

and, erm...

0:25:490:25:51

Rachel...

0:25:550:25:56

Rachel... (SIGHS) ..was the shining star of the Inspectorate,

0:25:580:26:02

so we instantly got more work than we could handle.

0:26:020:26:05

Who commissioned the review into Redhill?

0:26:070:26:10

Home Office.

0:26:100:26:12

There were five drug-related fatalities in as many months

0:26:120:26:15

and then, er, the suspicious death of James Wade.

0:26:150:26:19

GASPS

0:26:190:26:21

Didn't Wade have cancer?

0:26:220:26:24

Yeah. But he was in remission,

0:26:240:26:27

and the rumours that it was a hit wouldn't go away.

0:26:270:26:30

Rumours supported by the postmortem findings?

0:26:300:26:33

What do you know about fentanyl?

0:26:340:26:36

Erm...

0:26:370:26:38

it's approximately 80 times more potent than morphine,

0:26:380:26:41

mainly used in the pain management of cancer patients.

0:26:410:26:44

Mm. But it can kill you if you're opiate-intolerant,

0:26:440:26:47

like James Wade.

0:26:470:26:48

What? They found...

0:26:510:26:53

They found fentanyl in Wade's bloodstream?

0:26:530:26:56

COUGHING

0:26:560:26:58

A journalist made a link to the alleged bounty on Wade's head

0:26:590:27:03

and suggested he'd been killed by someone

0:27:030:27:06

with knowledge of his opiate intolerance.

0:27:060:27:08

A member of the prison service?

0:27:080:27:10

Not a crazy conclusion.

0:27:130:27:15

No - and it made the independent inquiry inevitable.

0:27:150:27:19

Was Rachel close to proving that Wade was murdered?

0:27:210:27:25

She kept her cards close to her chest during a review. Um...

0:27:250:27:28

But I'll speak to our IT firm - see if I can access her files and e-mails.

0:27:280:27:33

Yeah, come on, you were her colleague.

0:27:330:27:36

You must have an inkling of her progress.

0:27:360:27:38

She hinted at endemic drug dealing amongst the officers at Redhill.

0:27:410:27:45

Any names?

0:27:470:27:48

No.

0:27:480:27:50

Anyone I could talk to?

0:27:510:27:53

You know,

0:27:560:27:58

Rachel always said,

0:27:580:28:00

every investigation needs a white knight,

0:28:000:28:03

an insider with a conscience.

0:28:030:28:06

The prison doctor.

0:28:060:28:08

Don't tell me - you thought he was faking it?

0:28:080:28:12

James Wade raped and murdered nine little girls.

0:28:120:28:16

-Aren't you glad he's dead?

-That's not the bloody point, is it?

0:28:160:28:19

Imagine if he'd come after your daughter,

0:28:190:28:23

if he'd come after your Julie.

0:28:230:28:25

Couldn't even have run away, could she?

0:28:250:28:27

Get out of my sight, Kessler!

0:28:310:28:35

(GASPS) Wow!

0:28:480:28:51

Look at you!

0:28:510:28:52

Do a twirl, do a twirl, show me.

0:28:520:28:54

(GASPS) Oh, don't you look handsome?

0:28:540:28:58

Ohh!

0:28:580:29:00

Oh. Mm!

0:29:000:29:01

Sorry I'm so late, Nige.

0:29:010:29:03

Liesel?

0:29:210:29:22

Liesel?

0:29:240:29:25

Grandma's outside.

0:29:250:29:28

Should we go and see if she's all right?

0:29:280:29:30

No, no, no. She, er...

0:29:300:29:31

I think she wants to be on her own.

0:29:330:29:35

Come back to bed.

0:29:350:29:36

Too tight.

0:29:510:29:52

Sorry.

0:29:520:29:53

It's OK.

0:29:530:29:54

Is it worse...

0:30:030:30:05

to lose your mum...

0:30:050:30:06

..or your daughter?

0:30:080:30:09

I don't know.

0:30:200:30:21

0:30:240:30:25

Where have you been?

0:30:470:30:48

And don't say "work", because I know that's bullshit.

0:30:480:30:51

Oh, my God.

0:30:510:30:52

What happened?

0:30:530:30:55

So, before you found her, you said you were just...

0:31:090:31:12

...driving around?

0:31:140:31:16

Yeah.

0:31:160:31:17

That's not you.

0:31:170:31:18

Leo, what is going on? Where are you?

0:31:200:31:23

I've seen how you are around children.

0:31:260:31:28

When children are mentioned, even, in conversation.

0:31:300:31:33

You still want to adopt as much as ever,

0:31:360:31:39

and I feel a lot of guilt because of that.

0:31:390:31:42

And your way of dealing with it is to avoid me like the plague, is it?

0:31:420:31:45

I don't blame you, Leo. Really, I don't.

0:31:470:31:51

Give it time.

0:31:520:31:53

"Give it time"? (LAUGHS)

0:31:580:32:00

You know, er, you almost sound like you want this to be a thing. Do you?

0:32:000:32:05

Leo?

0:32:050:32:07

This...

0:32:080:32:09

This decision...

0:32:100:32:11

The weight of my decision...

0:32:110:32:13

Yeah, well...

0:32:130:32:15

-..denied you happ...

-..if I can live with that decision,

0:32:150:32:17

then so can you.

0:32:170:32:18

-Janet...

-I mean it.

0:32:180:32:20

However painful, we came to an understanding

0:32:200:32:23

and picking over it again and again for no good reason whatsoever is just cruel.

0:32:230:32:27

Unless you've changed your mind, of course.

0:32:280:32:30

-Thought not.

-I'm sorry.

RINGING TONE

0:32:570:32:58

In an updated version of my book Child Catcher, I make the case

0:33:020:33:06

that James Wade was poisoned by someone who knew of his rare opiate intolerance -

0:33:060:33:10

someone who went on to collect a substantial bounty.

0:33:100:33:12

Now, I wasn't alone in that suspicion.

0:33:120:33:14

Rachel Kruger began an investigation

0:33:140:33:16

for the Prison Review Agency

0:33:160:33:17

and now she too has been murdered, along with her colleague Nick Owen.

0:33:170:33:21

There's something rotten at the heart of Redhill Prison

0:33:210:33:23

and I think Rachel Kruger found it

0:33:230:33:25

-- and has paid the highest price...

-PHONE RINGS

0:33:250:33:27

Yeah?

0:33:290:33:30

There's a Miriam Wade to see you, Dr Cunningham.

0:33:300:33:32

Don't know her. What does she, er...

0:33:340:33:36

Wade?

0:33:360:33:38

I've got...exactly five minutes.

0:33:530:33:55

Take a seat.

0:33:550:33:56

Thank you. I'll stand.

0:33:560:33:58

I'm here to give...fair warning.

0:33:590:34:03

I know that police are already pursuing a domestic motive

0:34:030:34:06

for Rachel Kruger's murder, when it's blindingly obvious

0:34:060:34:09

that her death relates to her review of Redhill Prison,

0:34:090:34:11

and the death of my brother in particular.

0:34:110:34:14

OK. Got all that...

0:34:150:34:17

..except for the warning part.

0:34:180:34:20

Well, no doubt you'll be pressured by police to toe the official line -

0:34:200:34:24

ie, that Peter Kruger killed his wife...

0:34:240:34:27

"Toe the official line"?

0:34:270:34:28

..but I intend to secure a second PM so there'll be nowhere to hide.

0:34:280:34:31

We don't get pressurised by the police...

0:34:310:34:33

(LAUGHS) Who d'you think you're talking to?

0:34:330:34:35

..and on the rare occasions that we do, we are very adept at dealing with it.

0:34:350:34:39

Fair warning.

0:34:410:34:42

OK. All right.

0:34:480:34:51

Why do you think the police investigation will be...less than rigorous?

0:34:530:34:57

My law firm has a great team of PIs.

0:34:590:35:02

Ex-CID and Fraud Office to a man.

0:35:020:35:04

-On twice the salary, no doubt.

-A little bit more than that, actually.

0:35:040:35:08

Anyway...

0:35:080:35:10

Anyway, last night they made a startling discovery.

0:35:100:35:14

Detective Inspector Andrea Bridges, the lead investigator,

0:35:140:35:17

and Redhill's senior guard, Daniel Kessler, used to work together

0:35:170:35:21

back when he was a copper in Vice.

0:35:210:35:23

I think my five minutes are up. Thank you, Dr Cunningham.

0:35:260:35:29

Why do you care who killed Rachel Kruger?

0:35:290:35:33

My brother was an evil man.

0:35:370:35:38

I feel guilty about what he did.

0:35:400:35:42

I feel guilty...

0:35:420:35:44

about grieving for him.

0:35:440:35:45

I even feel guilty about having the same name as him.

0:35:450:35:47

I'm getting married in a month and - thank God -

0:35:490:35:52

I won't be a Wade any more.

0:35:520:35:53

Passport, driving licence, credit cards - can't wait.

0:35:530:35:57

But Rachel Kruger didn't think like that.

0:35:590:36:01

To her, a life was a life and if your brother had been murdered,

0:36:010:36:04

then that was a crime that should be punished.

0:36:040:36:05

I want to honour that.

0:36:070:36:08

There are ante-mortem abrasions

0:36:100:36:14

on...both left and right knees.

0:36:140:36:19

Embedded in the abrasions are fibres consistent with

0:36:200:36:24

a carpet seen in the reception room of the Kruger house.

0:36:240:36:27

There are light marks on the back that resemble fingernail scratches.

0:36:350:36:41

Scabbing on these is quite advanced,

0:36:410:36:43

suggesting they were sustained some days before death.

0:36:430:36:47

Er, there is also scarring on the back, consistent with a ballistic injury

0:36:470:36:53

that the deceased sustained in 2003 when she was serving in Iraq.

0:36:530:36:59

Corroded fragment of metal, presumably from the aforementioned

0:37:060:37:09

bullet wound of 2003.

0:37:090:37:11

An accumulation of fat inside the liver,

0:37:160:37:18

and the liver was... What was it, Colin?

0:37:180:37:21

1,900.

0:37:210:37:23

1,900 grams is considerably enlarged.

0:37:230:37:26

Possible sign of alcoholism.

0:37:260:37:27

That's not a complete surprise.

0:37:270:37:29

She had a conviction for drink driving.

0:37:300:37:32

One more strike and she would've faced a custodial sentence.

0:37:320:37:34

Making her position as a prison inspector untenable?

0:37:340:37:38

Indeed.

0:37:380:37:39

Evidence of coup and contrecoup injury suggests the victim's head

0:37:480:37:52

struck the steering wheel and/or dashboard with sufficient force

0:37:520:37:56

to cause traumatic brain injury, and then pressure from extradural haemorrhage

0:37:560:38:00

following this... was the eventual cause of death.

0:38:000:38:04

There's inflammation and puffiness around his eyes.

0:38:120:38:16

Swabs taken should tell us if the killer used pepper spray.

0:38:160:38:19

That's odd. A white button down the back of his throat.

0:38:280:38:32

Check if it belongs to the victim's shirt, will you?

0:38:320:38:34

Yeah.

0:38:340:38:35

In addition to a dozen roughly four-centimetre-thick bruises,

0:38:350:38:39

there are three sets of parallel bruises.

0:38:390:38:42

Two different marks, two different weapons?

0:38:420:38:44

-MOBILE PHONE RINGS

-No, the bruises are overlapping.

0:38:440:38:46

They come from a cylinder of some sort.

0:38:460:38:48

When a smooth, cylindrical, hard object strikes

0:38:480:38:51

-the fleshier parts of the body...

-Hello?

0:38:510:38:53

..the central part compresses, but shearing forces laterally

0:38:530:38:56

-leave two parallel bruises.

-One weapon, multiple hits.

0:38:560:38:58

Probably.

0:38:580:38:59

You're sure?

0:38:590:39:00

OK.

0:39:000:39:01

Nikki, no buttons are missing.

0:39:010:39:03

Results have just come in on the deposits under his fingernails.

0:39:040:39:08

It's dead skin. DNA says it belongs to Rachel Kruger.

0:39:080:39:12

I need copies of the postmortem photos.

0:39:140:39:17

His brief's ten grand an hour, and guess who's footing the bill.

Miriam Wade, sister of James.

0:39:280:39:29

Professor Dalton?

0:39:290:39:31

Oh, you made it sound urgent.

0:39:310:39:33

I get that work required Rachel and Nick to spend a lot of time together, I do.

0:39:330:39:38

But it doesn't quite explain the deposits of your wife's skin

0:39:380:39:41

under Nick's fingernails,

0:39:410:39:43

or the corresponding scratches on her back.

0:39:430:39:46

Here's what I think. You confronted Rachel about the affair.

0:39:470:39:51

It turned physical and she banished you for a few days.

0:39:510:39:55

I made those scratches.

0:39:590:40:01

We made love on Monday night.

0:40:020:40:05

Charity shag.

0:40:050:40:07

She felt guilty.

0:40:070:40:08

You wanna see the scratches on my back?

0:40:080:40:10

Peter.

0:40:100:40:11

No. Bottom line - her skin was under Nick's fingernails.

0:40:120:40:17

SIGHS

0:40:200:40:21

In the crash, did my wife sustain an injury,

0:40:290:40:32

or any bruising on her right forearm?

0:40:320:40:34

Why?

0:40:340:40:35

You may have missed it. Nail marks that Nick made on her arm.

0:40:350:40:40

No nail marks.

0:40:590:41:00

He was right about the bruise on the arm, though, wasn't he?

0:41:000:41:02

Just hang on a sec.

0:41:020:41:03

Can you e-mail me over the scene-of-the-crime photographs

0:41:050:41:07

for Rachel Kruger, immediately?

0:41:070:41:09

We've got the PM pictures - what's the difference?

0:41:090:41:12

12 hours.

0:41:120:41:14

By this morning, lividity had obscured the nail marks.

0:41:190:41:22

Hello, Leo.

0:41:300:41:31

It's not Nick's fault.

0:41:340:41:35

If he hadn't have done it, I would.

0:41:350:41:38

Perhaps we need to take a break, Peter.

0:41:380:41:39

No, I am going to confront him now!

0:41:390:41:41

Wait until tomorrow.

0:41:410:41:42

You are not gonna stop me.

0:41:420:41:43

-Rachel, come on, wait a minute.

-He lied to us.

0:41:510:41:53

-Stop the car, stop it now! Stop!

-Just get off!

0:41:530:41:56

My wife lived with an extremely painful life-threatening injury

0:41:560:41:58

and she self-medicated with Pinot Noir - a lot of it.

0:41:580:42:02

-Get her out. Rachel, please.

-All right, all right!

0:42:020:42:05

You can't just drive off. What are you doing?

0:42:050:42:07

-Just leave me, leave me.

-Mummy!

0:42:070:42:09

Oh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Take Liesel to my mother's for a few days.

0:42:090:42:14

No, no, no. Why? Why?

0:42:140:42:15

Just to be on the safe side.

0:42:150:42:16

Rachel, no!

0:42:160:42:17

So where was she going?

0:42:170:42:19

Who did Rachel feel compelled to confront at ten o'clock at night?

0:42:190:42:22

We never discussed her investigation until she'd finished her report.

0:42:220:42:25

My sense was that she'd made some kind of breakthrough.

He's on the CCTV of a picture-framers down the road from the pub.

0:42:340:42:37

Time fits and everything. Sorry, guv.

0:42:370:42:40

Definite match,

0:43:150:43:17

and who uses these batons except for police officers and security guards?

0:43:170:43:20

My turn.

0:43:200:43:21

What do you get when you add pelargonic acid

0:43:210:43:23

and synthetic capsaicinoid to an aqueous ethanol solvent?

0:43:230:43:26

Pot Noodle?

0:43:260:43:28

Pepper spray.

0:43:280:43:29

A bespoke nitrogen-propelled mix

0:43:290:43:31

manufactured for Her Majesty's Prison Service.

0:43:310:43:34

So, we're gonna spin his cell at five.

0:43:500:43:52

If he gives you any more grief, just send him down the box, yeah?

0:43:520:43:55

OK, no worries, that's fine.

0:43:550:43:56

Andrea.

0:43:570:43:58

This is a surprise.

0:44:000:44:01

Hello, sir.

0:44:010:44:03

Daniel.

0:44:030:44:04

"Sir" is good, "Sir" works.

0:44:040:44:06

Quite a party you've got here. You got an invitation?

0:44:100:44:14

Blimey.

0:44:230:44:24

You care to elaborate?

0:44:280:44:30

I have to sell this to my staff.

0:44:300:44:32

It's a warrant. You don't have to sell it to anybody.

0:44:320:44:35

There's compelling physical evidence linking the murders

0:44:350:44:37

of Rachel Kruger and Nick Owen to one or more prison officers...

0:44:370:44:40

What is this compelling evidence?

0:44:400:44:42

Nick Owen was beaten to death with a cylindrical object

0:44:440:44:46

that exactly matches the dimensions of the batons carried by your officers.

0:44:460:44:50

We also matched these treads to tac boots,

0:44:500:44:54

which are bought in bulk by HMPS.

0:44:540:44:57

That it? That all you got?

0:44:590:45:01

No, it's not.

0:45:010:45:02

We found a mix of PAVA spray in Owen's eyes, which in the UK,

0:45:020:45:06

is almost exclusively produced for the prison service.

0:45:060:45:09

Oh, come on.

0:45:090:45:10

You can drive a horse and cart through "almost exclusively".

0:45:100:45:14

Not when you consider that Kruger and Owen were carrying out a review of this prison.

0:45:140:45:18

CHUCKLES

0:45:180:45:19

I got budget cuts, staff cuts. I got chronic overcrowding,

0:45:210:45:25

I got A and D Blocks demanding sharia law,

0:45:250:45:29

and you waste my time with this shite.

0:45:290:45:32

Shame on you.

0:45:330:45:34

Daniel, see that our visitors are accommodated

0:45:350:45:38

within the terms of their warrant, and not a comma more.

0:45:380:45:43

Thank you.

0:45:440:45:46

Sorry about the old man.

0:45:490:45:50

Bit of a throwback?

0:45:500:45:51

Oh, he is that.

0:45:510:45:52

Personally, I'd be up for a bit of sharia law myself -

0:45:530:45:56

sorts out the junkies.

0:45:560:45:57

So, what are you after?

0:46:000:46:01

DNA samples from all your staff, plus we need to borrow their boots.

0:46:010:46:04

Why?

0:46:040:46:05

To test the soles for blood.

0:46:050:46:07

Where's your mate got to?

0:46:080:46:10

I have it on good authority that you were Rachel Kruger's white knight.

0:46:140:46:18

The only one brave enough to speak to her.

0:46:180:46:20

Hang on. Good authority from whom?

0:46:200:46:22

Do you think that the information that you gave her could've led to her murder?

0:46:220:46:26

That sounds like a question the police should be asking.

0:46:260:46:29

As I'm sure you know, the police and the prison service

0:46:290:46:31

enjoy a close kinship.

0:46:310:46:32

I'm sorry, I...I can't help you.

0:46:350:46:37

I know...I know that Rachel made a significant breakthrough

0:46:370:46:40

two nights before she was killed.

0:46:400:46:42

Did that break in that inquiry come from you?

0:46:420:46:44

I can't help you.

0:46:440:46:45

She was looking into the case of James Wade.

0:46:480:46:50

Do you think that he was poisoned?

0:46:500:46:52

It's possible.

0:46:550:46:56

It's equally possible he obtained the fentanyl himself.

0:46:570:47:00

What about his opiate allergy?

0:47:030:47:04

He was in denial about it.

0:47:040:47:06

Always asking if I could dilute the fentanyl.

0:47:070:47:10

Didn't like the idea the only drugs that could help him were off limits?

0:47:100:47:13

Rumour had it, his sister kept him in funds and...for a price, well...

0:47:170:47:22

Any and every drug is available in here.

0:47:220:47:25

Much to my personal and professional chagrin.

0:47:260:47:29

Available from who?

0:47:290:47:30

All the physical signs suggest that Kruger and Owen

0:47:350:47:38

were killed by a prison officer.

0:47:380:47:40

Who would Wade have gone to

0:47:410:47:43

to have got fentanyl? Daniel Kessler?

0:47:430:47:46

My...

0:47:490:47:51

My daughter has spina bifida.

0:47:510:47:54

She's housebound, and her carer leaves two hours before I get home.

0:47:540:48:00

Are you personally gonna guarantee her safety?

0:48:000:48:03

Because if not, you have no business trying to bully me.

0:48:060:48:11

What time did you come on shift?

0:48:150:48:16

10 o'clock.

0:48:160:48:17

10pm?

0:48:170:48:19

Yeah. 10pm.

0:48:190:48:20

So, where were you before that?

0:48:210:48:24

At home. With my wife.

0:48:240:48:27

Can I have a word, Detective Inspector?

0:48:290:48:30

We're in the middle of an interview here.

0:48:300:48:31

How's Nige? Still got his shed?

0:48:510:48:54

Looking at you, I'd say, er... yeah, still got his shed, all right.

0:48:550:49:01

Good old Nige.

0:49:010:49:02

What? What? I'd love a shed, me.

0:49:030:49:06

Seriously.

0:49:060:49:08

I'd love nothing more.

0:49:080:49:10

To lead the kind of life where a shed was a viability.

0:49:100:49:13

Hobbies.

0:49:130:49:15

Sheds.

0:49:150:49:17

Cars.

0:49:170:49:18

Angling.

0:49:180:49:19

I miss out, I really do.

0:49:190:49:21

Factor in the wife, the kids,

0:49:220:49:25

the job, the dog, the ex-wife,

0:49:250:49:27

the other kids,

0:49:270:49:29

and there's no shed at the end of the garden for Daniel L Kessler.

0:49:290:49:32

No, sir.

0:49:320:49:34

Call Fatso off.

0:49:360:49:37

Please.

0:49:380:49:39

-I can't.

-You're his DI. Course you can.

0:49:410:49:44

I'm gonna go now.

0:49:460:49:47

Funny.

0:49:500:49:51

I was thinking the other night

0:49:520:49:54

about that little mole

0:49:540:49:56

right between your breasts.

0:49:560:49:58

You know...

0:49:580:50:00

where the sweat gathers.

0:50:000:50:01

What would Alex want you to do, I wonder?

0:50:070:50:09

Help out his old dad or shun him like a leper?

0:50:090:50:13

You're not his dad.

0:50:130:50:15

Not...not in any way that means anything.

0:50:150:50:17

Really?

0:50:170:50:18

Put that to the test, shall we?

0:50:180:50:20

Give good old Nige a call.

0:50:200:50:23

See if he agrees.

0:50:230:50:25

Fret not.

0:50:340:50:36

I was working when Kruger and Pretty Boy were killed.

0:50:380:50:41

Approximately 137 cameras will bear that out.

0:50:410:50:44

Got everything you need?

0:50:590:51:01

We'll test the boots for blood, see if we can do up our stray button.

0:51:010:51:04

What are you matching the DNA to?

0:51:040:51:07

19 unknown male profiles were found at the Kruger house -

0:51:070:51:10

we'll start there.

0:51:100:51:11

Is it just me...

0:51:110:51:12

or is the idea of a prison guard being dumb enough

0:51:120:51:14

to beat someone to death with his own baton in his own uniform...?

0:51:140:51:17

It is just you.

0:51:170:51:18

OK. Let's go.

0:51:180:51:19

They've asked for an alibi for the murders.

0:51:320:51:34

I lied.

0:51:360:51:38

I had to. I said I was at home. I was collecting the gear!

0:51:380:51:40

We'll do this later, OK?

0:51:410:51:43

No, it's not OK.

0:51:430:51:45

They want me to give a signed statement.

0:51:450:51:47

Stick to your story, keep your head...

0:51:510:51:54

Listen, sorry and everything, but if it comes to it,

0:51:540:51:56

I'd rather go down for a bit of dealing than double murder.

0:51:560:51:58

WHEEZES

0:51:590:52:01

OK.

0:52:120:52:13

Sorry, Daniel.

0:52:220:52:24

It's been a long day.

0:52:340:52:36

Hey.

0:52:530:52:54

-Sorry I'm later than I said.

-Are you? I didn't notice.

0:52:560:53:00

What time did Alex leave?

0:53:010:53:02

Dad, I'm fine in the house for a few hours.

0:53:020:53:05

I know.

0:53:070:53:08

How do you think I'm gonna cope at college? Hm?

0:53:100:53:13

PHONE RINGS

0:53:260:53:28

WOMAN: We found out more - a lot more - about Daniel Kessler and DI Bridges.

0:53:310:53:35

None of it fit for the telephone.

0:53:350:53:37

Hello, Miriam.

0:53:370:53:39

This is Alan.

0:53:400:53:42

-Harry. Hi.

-Hi.

0:53:420:53:44

Wedding bells?

0:53:470:53:49

Oh, don't. Two weeks to go and the bloody caterer's just pulled out.

0:53:490:53:52

No, you won't find any pictures of James.

0:54:000:54:02

-Sorry.

-Not even as a child.

0:54:020:54:04

Mind you...

0:54:040:54:06

Never mind.

0:54:080:54:09

Having said that, it doesn't mean you don't have...

0:54:110:54:14

mixed feelings about his death.

0:54:140:54:17

Especially if he...was murdered.

0:54:170:54:19

You're very perceptive.

0:54:210:54:23

He was your brother.

0:54:260:54:28

Even with the cancer, he was strong as an ox.

0:54:310:54:34

Could've lived another 20 years.

0:54:370:54:39

So...my chaps spent the day digging into Daniel Kessler.

0:54:400:54:44

Bit of a ladies' man, our Daniel.

0:54:440:54:47

Intimate with rafts of female police officers,

0:54:470:54:49

but we'll get to that later.

0:54:490:54:51

My chaps would kill me if they knew you'd seen this -

0:54:530:54:56

it was obtained somewhat illegally.

0:54:560:54:58

Oh, really? Can something, er, be "somewhat illegal"?

0:54:580:55:02

I'd live in a much smaller house if it couldn't.

0:55:020:55:05

What is this?

0:55:090:55:10

Sodomised corpse of Craig Potter - drug dealer and pimp.

0:55:100:55:14

First officers on the scene were Detective Inspector Daniel Kessler

0:55:140:55:16

and Detective Sergeant Andrea Bridges.

0:55:160:55:19

Fret not.

0:55:230:55:24

I was working when Kruger and Pretty Boy were killed.

0:55:260:55:30

Approximately 137 cameras will bear that out.

0:55:300:55:32

MUFFLED YELLING

0:56:060:56:07

DANIEL: Do you want to mug me off again, do you?

0:56:070:56:09

Do you want to mug me off again?

0:56:090:56:10

WAILING

0:56:100:56:11

GRUNTING

0:56:110:56:13

Oh, get right up... There you go.

0:56:170:56:19

Yeah, yeah, yeah, shut it.

0:56:210:56:23

WAILING

0:56:230:56:26

GRUNTING

0:56:260:56:28

SCREAMING Shut it!

0:56:280:56:30

Hey, look who's here!

0:56:330:56:34

Mum! Where have you been? You're late.

0:56:360:56:40

MUFFLED GROANS

0:56:490:56:51

Looks like one of Craig's rivals worked him over.

0:56:520:56:55

What about the blood?

0:56:550:56:56

Slipped in it, didn't I?

0:56:590:57:00

You'd better not have AIDS, you dirty...!

0:57:020:57:04

GRUNTING

0:57:040:57:06

Nah. No reception. Call from the street.

0:57:110:57:14

Andrea?

0:57:190:57:22

COUGHS AND SPITS

0:57:220:57:23

Found him like this, didn't we?

0:57:250:57:27

Together.

0:57:280:57:30

YELLING

0:57:400:57:42

Things have changed, Daniel. A blind man can see that.

0:57:430:57:47

Please don't make me have to call security.

0:57:470:57:48

-He's not himself.

-Come on, she doesn't believe that.

0:57:480:57:51

He's holding the baby over her - it's bloody obvious!

0:57:510:57:53

NIKKI: He's angry about something.

0:57:530:57:55

And it's not about Rachel Kruger or this case.

0:57:550:57:58

He just thinks it is.

0:57:580:57:59

What is it with you and the ladies, eh? Just doesn't quite pan out, does it, Leo?

0:57:590:58:03

Gotcha!
