0:01:39 > 0:01:41JACK: What did that to his arm?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I don't know. It's definitely not rat bites.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Apparently, he fell from heaven.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Has anybody moved the debris?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Only what was needed to support the roof.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Don't want any more surprises from above.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Who found him? - Couple of developers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03They pulled this ladder out the way. It was holding up the ceiling.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Developers?- Yeah, you know.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Apartments of the future. Windmills, solar panels, that kind of thing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Anything you need from the body? - No, he's all yours.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- You really need to be up there? - Well, once we've cleared the floor.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- What was this building? - Brimstead Fields?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It was a convalescent home for TB patients
0:03:18 > 0:03:20till it was closed in the '60s.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Now you'll have a site manager breathing down your neck to get the bulldozers in.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27He can breathe all he likes. No-one's coming in here until I say so.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Leo.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Sorry I'm late, Sanjit. CHUCKLES
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Have I missed anything? - Nice try. No.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- One moment, please, sir. - MEN MURMUR
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Thank you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You're probably thinking I'm a poor substitute for Sir William himself,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11but imagine how I feel.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12LAUGHTER
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I can't tell you how sorry my father is that he can't be at the ceremony.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22I can tell you that this unit is a project very, very close to his heart.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Mr Hancock. Your wife isn't here.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I know, Barbara.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Forgive me, I'm breaching the order.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You know I can't let you stay.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I don't want to interfere with anyone's care.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Just give me some space to sit with my son.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Please don't do this, Tom.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- You think I'm wrong?- No.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50But you're going to suffer for it. I'll have to call the police.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52You do what you have to.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56If you want to leave, leave now!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59No-one come near me!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I will use this!
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Can you get those people out, please? Just make sure they stay outside.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Erm...children's hospital, the TAU department.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The police, please.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12We have a man here with a gun.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Yes, OK. Thanks.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Well, Peter, I told you I'd keep my promise.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45You can build an empire, which he did. You can create a fortune, which he has.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48You can even endure the shame of having a government minister for a son...
0:05:48 > 0:05:49POLITE LAUGHTER
0:05:49 > 0:05:51So, it's Lord Embleton now, is it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Political donations...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- But at the end of the day... - ..beget political honours.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57..power and fame and money fade away.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Our true legacy is in the things we do for others.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26You had enough?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Sorry, I'm just not very good at these dog and pony shows.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- Ah, Minister.- Sanjit.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Can I introduce you to Professor Leo Dalton?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- How do you do? - Lord Embleton. Minister for Science.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I liked, erm...your point about the things we do for others.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42You know, Professor, I used to think I knew my father.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Until I saw what losing my mother did to him. This is really for her.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Are you part of the unit?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49No, I'm just visiting.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Professor Dalton's head of the Lyell Centre
0:06:51 > 0:06:53and President of The Institute of Forensic Pathologists.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55The Lyell Centre?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Do you have a Dr Alexander working for you?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Yeah, yeah. Do you know her?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I met her once. A weekend conference thing, somewhere.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06They all merge into one. But I do remember her.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Excuse me. James, can I borrow you?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Sorry.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Something's wrong.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- I need to find Professor Dalton. - Yeah, that's me.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Pathologist?- What's going on? - Please come with me.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- What?- We've got a situation in the ICU unit.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25There's a man with a gun and he's asking to speak to you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Professor Dalton. Are you the man I need?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Well, I don't know. Am I? - Thomas Hancock.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Self-employed heating engineer, no police record, no convictions.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40His son is terminally ill.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Doctors advised him to withdraw treatment but his wife won't have it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45He switched off the machines
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- and now he's making us all wait for the kid to die. - What exactly...?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50He wants to talk to the person who'll carry out his son's postmortem.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Tell him we need those other patients out of there.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He thought it was a trick when I... Oh, shit.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00MONITORS BEEPING
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I'm Leo Dalton. I'm a forensic pathologist.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I don't plan to hurt anyone. I just want to do right by my boy.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I understand.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Is it OK if I sit down?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51He's still breathing.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I thought he'd stop when I switched off the machine.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- What have they told you? - The cancer's everywhere.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02His organs have failed. He'll never wake up.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06My wife went on the internet, and now she chooses not to agree.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08This isn't the way to deal with this.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I don't have a choice.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Her solicitor found a judge
0:09:12 > 0:09:16who gave her the benefit of the doubt and overruled the doctors.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Why did you ask for me? - Because you'll be taking care of him
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- when it's over. - I can't guarantee that.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- I want you to promise.- I can't.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24If you want to know that your son's body's going to be respected...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27No, what I want to know is what killed him.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Well, you know the diagnosis. - But they say nothing about why.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35They put power lines outside the house that ran right past his bedroom window.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Don't tell me that's healthy.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Look, I can't make you a promise that I might not be able to keep.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51Now, this power line thing is... shaky science.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55And a tumour can't tell you what caused it to be a tumour.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Nobody wants to listen to me.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03As long as I've got this, you have to.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I have evidence.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- I have proof.- Of what?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10OK, so maybe it's not the power lines.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12There's a lot they don't want you to know.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So, you're the expert.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You tell me who killed my son.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20MONITORS BEEPING
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Took a lot of nerve to walk in here.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I know what it is to lose a child.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Let go, Peter.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Please, son, let go.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50COCKS GUN

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Stand clear!
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Armed police! Get down on the floor! - Armed police!
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Secure.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40On your knees. Stand up.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Move.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Anything for me yet?- The rest of his clothes. Help yourself.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56£2.50 and a set of car keys. No ID of any kind.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Did they find a car? - Not that I know of.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01And what about the damage to his arm?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I think he did it to himself.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09SCREAMS
0:12:11 > 0:12:16There's flesh in his teeth and tooth marks on the bone.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I'll get micro-CT and DNA to confirm.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21That's one hell of a case of the munchies.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Did you get his fingerprints? - The skin's too far gone.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Clarissa might be able to lift something from the water bottle. - Yeah, I don't understand that.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30A full bottle of water and he didn't even touch it.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Maybe it isn't water.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45When you're done with the prints, can you screen his clothes for hallucinogens?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Nikki reckons our boy tried to chew his own arm off.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Oh. I got a partial from the belt buckle.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54But it doesn't match any of the prints on the bottle.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- What, there were two people? - Unless he had three index fingers.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Well, that still doesn't tell us how he could be up there for days without touching his water.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Maybe he couldn't reach it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04SCREAMING
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Run the prints through AFIS and check out the water.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15People have done worse on LSD.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- NIKKI:- You could take the afternoon off.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I'd rather stay here and annoy you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I don't want to be mooching around at home.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- As opposed to mooching around here? - Hmm.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Do you know a Lord Embleton?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04- Embleton?- Mm.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08He knows you. James Embleton.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Oh, him! Yes. - "Oh, him, yes"!
0:14:11 > 0:14:12I only met him once.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Well, you made quite an impression.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Hm. We should talk about the man from the ceiling.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Does he have a name yet?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Clarissa lifted a partial from his belt buckle
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and she's checking it against the database.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- And who's the officer? - Detective Inspector Cherry.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Do you know him?- Is that him?
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- You coming through? - In a minute, yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Morning, James. - Hello, Claire.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I'll get those e-mails sent.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Do you need anything else? - Some hot Vimto would be nice.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I'll tell the kitchen.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Hello, Dad.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Hm. I wish I was 79 again.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23There was a bit of excitement after the ceremony.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Some nutcase got onto one of the wards with a shotgun.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Never mind that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- WOMAN ON TV: Brimstead Fields... - What's this about?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32...former TB hospital which has been empty for more than 40 years...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Oh, no. - ...intense police scrutiny...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Brimstead Fields. - ...after a body was discovered... - Didn't I make myself clear?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39The contractors are supposed to start work next week.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- This is really going to mess things up.- I told you.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I know.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49But it's been standing empty for so long. It...it was meant to be a surprise.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52It's that all right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I'm not doing this to make money, Dad.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57This is a big project.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59We're converting the old hospital into apartments.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02We're building 200 low-cost homes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04The whole development is going to be carbon-neutral.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08No-one's ever done anything like this before, not on this scale.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11We're providing homes for people.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Surely it's better to put that land to some sort of use?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Dad, you put me in the driving seat. You have to let me drive.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22What's your problem with it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Legal issues.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Hm.- I have to go.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I'm going to have to deal with this.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'll call again soon.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40CROWS CAW
0:16:46 > 0:16:48RATTLING
0:17:01 > 0:17:03The body's quite well preserved.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05From the way he was dressed, I'd say he entered the building in summer.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10A hot, airless, confined space would have accelerated death from dehydration
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and then acted to preserve the tissues from decay.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15But he had a full bottle of water with him. So, why didn't he use it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Exactly, something we're looking into.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20There are lacerations on the arm below the major injury.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24And signs of tearing, all in one direction.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26How long did he live?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Long enough for necrosis to set in on the arm.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Days at least. Perhaps more than a week.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Dehydration could have led to shock and cardiac arrest.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37As would a release of myoglobin from the necrotic muscle.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40We can't rule out blood loss when he bit through the artery.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Ah, listen, there's currently 200 misper files for young males in their 20s.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Is there anything that you can give me that might narrow it down a bit?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Well, I did find something interesting in the organ slides.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Oh, here we go. This is my nightmare of being dragged back to school.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58This is a slice from the best-preserved kidney.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02If you look at the structure, you'll see signs of tubular dysfunction.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03This means a less efficient kidney
0:18:03 > 0:18:06that passes substances into the urine instead of the bloodstream.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Increased urination means more rapid dehydration.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11So, how does that help me?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It could help identify him
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- through medical records. - And if that doesn't
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- turn anything up, there's always the option of virtual reconstruction. - What, with that face?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Well, Nikki's worked wonders with less.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- When Dr Alexander's done with you, can you come with me to the clean room, please?- Sure.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I used the grid to recreate where all the ceiling pieces fell.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32From there, I could jinx them around
0:18:32 > 0:18:36to approximate where they would have been before the whole thing came down.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- So, what about the water? - He couldn't reach it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41The flags are a blood trail...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44..and they led me to here.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Now, in this part of the space there's a conduit through the brick.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53And for some reason he pushed his arm right through it,
0:18:53 > 0:18:54and got himself trapped.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56SCREAMING
0:18:57 > 0:19:00SCREAMING
0:19:00 > 0:19:01How do you know that?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Well, there was massive blood loss here.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Enough to tell us that he must have bitten through an artery
0:19:06 > 0:19:09in his final effort to get free.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Then he dragged himself across to the hatch.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Doesn't have the strength to open a bottle of water.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20All he's thinking about is getting out.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21No tears of relief, can't spare the moisture.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Up till now, still looks to me like misadventure.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But what does he find when he gets here?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Bolted?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34From below. Look around.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36There's no other way in or out.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38This wasn't just misadventure.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Someone locked him in and left him to die.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45GASPING
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Good work.- Thanks.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I've got a black-tie bash tomorrow,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and I was wondering if you'd stand in for me.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- You've done it before. - Will I know anyone?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Oh, it's all the usual Forensic Forum crowd.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Be good for you. Be good for the Lyell Centre.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- If I have to.- Thanks.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Oh, they've just brought the Hancock boy in.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thank you.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01DOOR CLICKS OPEN
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- What are you doing here? - I'm on bail.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07How did you get bail?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I'm no significant risk to the public.- Well, that's rich.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14After you killed our son.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- If that's what you want to think. - You don't care what I think.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Even if his only chance was a miracle, you took that chance away.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23You could see how he was suffering.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26If he could suffer, he could live.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28What do you want from me?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I want him back.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Why don't we sit down and talk about it?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Stella. Stella!

0:21:55 > 0:22:01A stage four small-cell carcinoma with multiple secondaries.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03He's had it all. Surgery. Radiation.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Nothing helped.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I don't know if we can take the hospital notes as read.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Once he'd reached a terminal state,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13there'd be no more diagnostic searches.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I doubt we'll find anything that alters the story.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- How old's the scan?- Three weeks.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24He went down fast.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26How did you leave it with the father?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30He wants someone to blame.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33He wants an explanation and the truth is
0:22:33 > 0:22:37that sometimes it's just an appalling lottery.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Leo?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44What?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Very rarely do you see this level
0:22:46 > 0:22:48of tubular atrophy in someone so young.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Unless the kidney disease is genetic.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Good morning, Clarissa.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Americano, dash of milk,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40and a little biscuit.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42What are you after?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Can I not just buy my colleague a cup of coffee?
0:23:47 > 0:23:48I had a voucher.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Cheapskate. How are we doing?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Winning two-nil. That grid idea of yours was a blinder.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- I've sent off the DNA. - You know, if it were down to me
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I'd have everyone chipped like a dog and save us all a lot of trouble.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04If the keys were in his pocket, what happened to his car?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Well, the police did a search and found nothing. Maybe there was a second set.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You wouldn't be able to move it without one. There's a transponder.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Were you able to get a make and a model?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Better than that. I got you Colin Connor.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Who's Colin Connor? - Your boy in the roof.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19AFIS matched the partial from the belt buckle.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Oh.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24You little tease.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Thanks for the coffee. And the biscuit.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Colin Connor was a local kid.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32We've got his prints on file from a bit of petty crime.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- What about family? - It said a sister in Newcastle.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Been signing on. Hadn't done any work or any training for five years.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's all we know about him until we find out who his friends were.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Where did he live?- Above a pub.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Landlord assumed he'd skipped, so he bagged up all his gear.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51So, of course, all we found were his dirty clothes and his dirty mags.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53CHUCKLES
0:24:53 > 0:24:55And then when you said you'd found the keys, we widened the search.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58So, we were just wondering, could that be it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:18Looks like someone pushed it down here and then torched it, cover their tracks.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Did no-one report it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Well, we had it down as dumped, not stolen.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Well, this is what they were after.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26These are the cut ends of all the wire
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I found in the burned-out pick-up.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31This is scrap wiring from the old building.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Look at the tool marks on the end.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35They're a match.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39It's metal theft. They were stripping out copper to sell for cash.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- They?- Colin Connor and at least one other.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Colin goes into the roof space to get the wire.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46He reaches too far into a conduit, gets his arm stuck.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Instead of helping him out,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51the other one bolts the trap, leaves him to die a horrible death,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54and torches the pick-up to cover their tracks.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Why would someone do that?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Did you ever read The Cask of Amontillado?
0:26:01 > 0:26:02The what?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Look it up.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Come on then, genius.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's a short story by Edgar Allan Poe.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Course it is.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19A man responds to an insult by luring his friend into a wine cellar
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and then walling him in alive.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23It's good.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Working here is like being on bloody Mastermind.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27So, what are you going to do now?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Find out who owns the truck.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35'Tom. What can I do for you?'
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Yeah, I...I'm calling for news.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You have to be patient.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43You made me a promise.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48'I said that I would give you an answer when I had one.'
0:26:48 > 0:26:51You said "when". That mean you think I could be right?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I didn't say that.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55You haven't even asked to see my evidence yet.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Yeah, well, I prefer to find my own.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Look, take my advice, keep away from the internet.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03'I'll see you at the inquest, OK?'

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Wow. Don't suppose you need a plus-one?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- It's a formal occasion, Jack. - I can behave.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Jury's out on that one.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Hi. Oh! Look at you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30We have the test results for Peter Hancock's kidney disease.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Everything points to Fanconi syndrome.- Really?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I know, it's rare, but it's the same for both cases.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39If there's no genetic cause, then usually it's environmental.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43I haven't heard of a case of Fanconi syndrome since lead pipes were banned.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Well, some herbal remedies can have the same effect, can't they?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Wasn't his mother into that kind of thing?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Well, that wouldn't explain the damage to Colin Connor.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Shouldn't you be, er...? - You owe me.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06None of this "Lord" stuff. Call me James.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Call me Nikki.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I met your boss yesterday.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I'm standing in for him now.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13I am so glad.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Really?- I wanted to give you my card at that weekend thing,
0:29:17 > 0:29:21but you'd already left. I was in that lecture of yours
0:29:21 > 0:29:25when the old man in the second row asked a pointless question.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Everybody groaned, and you could have slapped him down
0:29:27 > 0:29:30but instead you turned it around and made him feel clever.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31SHE CHUCKLES
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Ever since then I've been looking for an excuse to meet you again.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Why do you need an excuse?
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Yes. Why do I?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44TEXT ALERT
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Excuse me.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I'll have to run over to the House. My boss needs me to vote.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56You have a boss?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Until there's a freelance Minister of Science, that's the way it is.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Could I ask you for your phone number?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Can't make the same mistake twice.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20I see you're sitting next to Dr Corder.

0:30:30 > 0:30:31SIGHS
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You really ought to go there.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12I mean, we went there for our last holiday
0:31:12 > 0:31:15and, er...I mean, the trick is to leave early.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Course, we stop at the service stations on the way up
0:31:17 > 0:31:19but it's never the same if you don't get a good run.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- TEXT ALERT - That's the thing.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- The thing is...- I'm so sorry.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25This is work. I'm going to have to deal with it. Sorry.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Oh, that's perfectly OK. - Lovely to meet you.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Nice to meet you. - And you.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Anyway, as I was saying...
0:31:37 > 0:31:39He does not have a wonky eye.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Really? My mistake.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Shall we?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49So, you weren't born a lord?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53It was a dodge, really, to bring me into the government,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55which was never my ambition.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58But when they call you to serve, what can you do?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01I guess a title will get you a table at any fancy restaurant.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Those aren't even the kind of restaurants I like.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11So, are you happy? I mean, are you happy with the work you're doing?
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Why wouldn't I be?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I heard your keynote speech at the conference.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17You're a proper scientist.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20All the politics must get in the way, doesn't it?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I can make a difference in other ways.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24God, I couldn't do that.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Advising people who choose the truths they want to hear.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29I'd be tearing my hair out.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- You've met my bosses. - I've met people like them.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36We all serve our separate masters,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39right up to the one at the top who serves his private demons,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and that's politics in a nutshell.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Sounds very cynical. - It's a cynical world.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46It doesn't have to be.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Anyone who thinks that needs a lesson in hard reality.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57I have to prepare for a coroner's report tomorrow, for a teenaged boy
0:32:57 > 0:32:59with a glioblastoma that spread to his brainstem.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02That's my...hard reality.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Shit.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Look, if this is about the old van,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I had a good reason for not reporting it stolen.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Go on.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17It wasn't worth it to me. It was a clapped-out piece of junk.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I'd have got buttons and all my other premiums would have shot up.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- So, who took it? - I don't know.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Someone broke into the yard one bank holiday weekend.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Someone was using your van to steal scrap metal from a derelict building.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30You don't think I had anything to do with that, do you?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Well, you have got a record. - Yeah, from way back!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35God Almighty! I were all but a kid!
0:33:35 > 0:33:37And I've got responsibilities now.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I got the contract for all the sheltered housing in the borough. Do you think I'm going to risk that?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42All right, calm down, Brian.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45The thief was unlucky. He got trapped in the roof.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47The keys to your van were in his pocket.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48And he wasn't alone.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Someone knew he was up there and did nothing.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Took him best part of a week to die.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56It was a pretty nasty way to go.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00It were nothing to do with me.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Derren?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12SIREN WAILING OUTSIDE
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Derren!
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Why did you lie to me about Colin?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21I didn't.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23He's not lying low in Newcastle.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25He's only on a slab in the bloody morgue.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Did you know about this?- No.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Don't do this to me, Derren. Please.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33This is important.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Why are you shouting at me?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Don't you get it? Colin's dead!
0:34:40 > 0:34:42God, Derren! What's the matter with you? You're asleep half the time,
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- then you do something like this? - I didn't do anything!
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Did he make you go there with him?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Were you thieving wire again with my van?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Oi! Come here!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Derren! If you were there, they'll find out!
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Just tell me the bloody truth!
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Let me help you, son. Please.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13I don't get you, Derren! I don't get you at all!
0:35:13 > 0:35:14And I'm sick of covering for you!
0:35:14 > 0:35:16BEEP
0:35:21 > 0:35:22How did it go?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Tom Hancock wouldn't keep quiet. The ushers had to take him outside.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27What, he missed his own son's inquest?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Well, the Coroner let him back in once he'd calmed down.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Odd, though, isn't it?- What?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36You found small cell tumours in the lungs,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38and glioblastoma invaded the brainstem,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40and then there's the Fanconi syndrome.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42So, what are you getting at?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Well, that's two separate synchronous primaries,
0:35:44 > 0:35:46one of which is vanishingly rare in children.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49And the Fanconi syndrome, that's also rare.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51And also present in the Brimstead Fields case.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Are you suggesting they're related?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Can I show you two something?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I think Brian Blackburn knows more than he's saying.
0:36:06 > 0:36:12So I got the ID photos of his staff on the sheltered housing project.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I've been comparing the faces to our subject. No good.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18No good. And then...
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Nikki, what do you think?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Well, we should get a 3-D scan and do it properly. But you're right.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26That's a good match.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Colin Connor had been working under a false name,
0:36:29 > 0:36:31and I'm sure Brian Blackburn knew.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44Unofficial. I wanted to give you this.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48I don't need an apartment.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I'm not suggesting you move there. It's my project.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- I wanted you to see it.- Why?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Because it's something that means a lot to me,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00and I don't think I made a very good impression the last time we met.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04I was going to send flowers, but... well, you know. To a morgue?
0:37:04 > 0:37:05"Zero footprint living"?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08The project is a showpiece for the future of housing.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11But with real people living in it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I may not be doing the science in the lab,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17but this is something I can achieve.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18You might recognise the building.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Where the man fell from the ceiling.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Yeah, that's not in the prospectus.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26LAUGHS
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- Well, if I read it, will it make you happy?- I'm serious.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Your opinion matters to me.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37I don't know what you're worried about. My opinion of you is fine.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06We're having this.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09And we're having those too.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33What have you done?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I didn't kill anyone.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Yeah, but you just left him there. Why?
0:38:42 > 0:38:43He was always pushing me.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48He said we were mates, but we only ever did what he wanted to do.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51That's no reason to let someone die.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54It's not my fault he got stuck.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Whenever I was in trouble, he'd just laugh at me.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Did you touch anything? Did you leave anything behind?
0:39:03 > 0:39:04What are you going to tell 'em?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Just keep quiet.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14As long as they don't find anything, we should be all right.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16All right?

0:39:24 > 0:39:27DEPARTING FOOTSTEPS
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- I thought maybe you didn't find the note.- On page 15.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- So, you read that far. - I'll be honest. I skimmed.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- Thanks for the second chance. - Thanks for waiting.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Sorry, sir, authorised personnel only.- Yeah, I just want to speak to Professor Dalton.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- You'll need to make an appointment. - Professor Dalton!
0:40:03 > 0:40:05You will have to make an appointment with him.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06It's Tom! I just want to speak to you!
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Stop, sir. Get your hands off me.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- I just want to speak to Professor Dalton.- OK, OK. I'll deal with this. Thank you.- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Tom? What are you doing?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17The inquest was a farce, and you weren't even there!
0:40:17 > 0:40:19I approved Dr Alexander's report.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21If I'm a witness at the court case,
0:40:21 > 0:40:22I cannot be the pathologist of record.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Someone knows what's happening,
0:40:24 > 0:40:25and there's people dying because of it!
0:40:25 > 0:40:26It's been going on for years,
0:40:26 > 0:40:29and it will keep on until somebody puts a stop to it!
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Tom. You're not helping your case. - They wouldn't even look at my evidence.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34A coroner's court is an inquest. It is not an inquiry.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- It's the who, what, where and when. - But not why!
0:40:38 > 0:40:41If there's damage, something did it. It's common sense!
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Common sense isn't evidence.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45They wouldn't let me show my evidence.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48I look at facts, I see patterns.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51I'm not an expert. But that doesn't make me a crank.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Nobody is calling you a crank. - But that's what they think!
0:40:54 > 0:40:58And you know what? I wouldn't care, as long as they look.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03No-one will do me the courtesy of at least telling me that I'm wrong.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Well, let me.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Here.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12OK.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17A fair reading. That's...that's all I ask.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Thank you.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- I'm sorry about all the... - It's all right.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Ah, been fanning the flames of romance?
0:41:40 > 0:41:44It was a civilised lunch. Good food, good company.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- And he was the perfect gentleman. - Or just slow off the mark.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48A guy needs clear signals to proceed.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52I'll bear traffic lights in mind next time.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Tom Hancock thinks that he's detected
0:41:54 > 0:41:56a disease cluster based around power lines.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58He's wrong, but give him credit.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01There is something going on in the area.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Any random distribution has natural clusters in it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09True. But I downloaded this data from the Department of Health.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12It's local cases of renal disease over the last five years.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Now, the national occurrence is ten per 100,000.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19But in this area it's far higher.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20And neither Colin Connor nor Peter Hancock
0:42:20 > 0:42:24have Fanconi syndrome in their family history.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26So, what if the kidney damage had a different cause?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Such as exposure to toxic heavy metals.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32For example, mercury, cadmium, they'd trigger the same symptoms.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- As would asbestos.- Or weedkiller.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38And look at the way that the pattern spreads.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43It's a classic ground-water plume.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45So, what do you want us to do?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Take bone marrow samples from Peter and Colin.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50If there's toxic metal there, that's where you'll find it.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Heavy metal poisoning didn't kill Peter Hancock.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55So, maybe there's something else there.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58I've tried to get the local water and soil figures
0:42:58 > 0:43:01but my request has been "referred for approval".
0:43:01 > 0:43:04I mean, I thought this was public information.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05What are they trying to hide?
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- You all right, sir? - How you doing, Rachel?
0:43:12 > 0:43:15The architects have asked if they can move their meeting to tomorrow.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17The Minister wants to see you at 4:30.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19And there's a David Loader waiting to see you.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- David who?- David Loader.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24We work for some of the same people.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26I'll be shadowing your department for a while.
0:43:32 > 0:43:33Can we talk?
0:43:41 > 0:43:44You'd better not be playing Angry Birds on that.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Ha-ha. I'm looking for a local vet.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47A vet? Why?
0:43:47 > 0:43:52Well, a ground-water plume spreads from a source.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55So, either we drive all over the county taking samples,
0:43:55 > 0:43:56or we can look for a hot spot.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59If there's contamination in the land,
0:43:59 > 0:44:01the people most likely to see the effects are local farmers.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04There speaks a country boy. LAUGHS
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Why a vet?- Cos I know farmers. They'll tell you nothing.
0:44:11 > 0:44:16- LOADER: How well do you know Professor Dalton?- Dalton?- Leo Dalton.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Hardly at all. I...I think I met him once.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20As well as sending those e-mails,
0:44:20 > 0:44:22he made a search of Health Department records
0:44:22 > 0:44:24using the Lyell Centre's IP address.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Both enquiries put a flag up.
0:44:28 > 0:44:29Why?
0:44:29 > 0:44:33One of my responsibilities is to make sure that this particular
0:44:33 > 0:44:35sleeping dog is allowed to lie.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37So, with respect, Minister,
0:44:37 > 0:44:41do us both a favour and please don't ask again.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45Can I at least know who set the flag?
0:44:45 > 0:44:48That was done a long time ago.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Seriously, James, it's no big thing.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54And certainly nothing you can hope to deal with.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Kristen?
0:44:59 > 0:45:01It is Kristen, isn't it?
0:45:01 > 0:45:05Can we have the available information on Professor Dalton, please?
0:45:05 > 0:45:07The Lyell uses university servers.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09OK, thank you.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13I'll put a watch on their e-mail traffic.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- Can we do that?- Yes, we can.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20I'll be in touch.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Thank you very much. You've been really helpful.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28Thanks again. Take care. Bye-bye.
0:45:28 > 0:45:29That a lady vet?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- How could you tell?- At least one of you was flirting.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34She's only just taken over the practice
0:45:34 > 0:45:36from a partner who retired after 35 years.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38He told her a story from back in the '70s,
0:45:38 > 0:45:39when he'd been drafted in
0:45:39 > 0:45:42to put down an entire herd of healthy cattle.
0:45:42 > 0:45:43Floods had taken down the fences
0:45:43 > 0:45:46and they'd strayed onto forestry land.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48He said the Ministry sent out people to supervise him,
0:45:48 > 0:45:52and the Army burned all the carcasses after.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54The place is just up the road.
0:46:08 > 0:46:09Now what?
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Fetch your kit.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Mind the barbed wire. DOORS BEEP
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Yeah, that'll do.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Yep.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56The place has been stripped out over the years.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00Someone's been in and stolen all the lead and copper.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08- Stand your ground! Don't move! - Don't move!
0:48:08 > 0:48:11- What's going on?- Don't move, sir! Stay where you are!
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- Holy shit! What the hell? - Jack! Jack! Calm down.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20Are you mad? We're using live ammunition here! You don't ignore the signs!
0:48:20 > 0:48:21There were no signs!
0:48:21 > 0:48:23I'm Leo Dalton. I'm a forensic pathologist
0:48:23 > 0:48:24working at the Lyell Centre.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27You can check it with the Home Office.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29- What are you doing here? - My job! What are you doing?
0:48:29 > 0:48:31This is a live firing exercise, Professor.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33I don't know how you got in here.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36But I'm going to need your cooperation while I remove you from the field of fire.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39- Is this Army land? - By arrangement with the landowner.
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Come on, then. Let's go. Hurry up.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43- Can you believe...? Unbelievable. - This way, sir.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- There you go, sir. - Climb in, gents. Mind your heads.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Sit tight. I'll have you out as soon as it's clear.
0:48:59 > 0:49:00Where's your kit?
0:49:02 > 0:49:04They've got it.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24- Oh, hi.- Hey.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27So, this is it, the Embleton empire.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30More or less.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Where is everyone?
0:49:32 > 0:49:35Ran off and left me.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43- So, you wanted to talk to me, face to face.- I did.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46So, I'm here.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51If it's about the crime scene holding up your development,
0:49:51 > 0:49:53I can't really give you a timescale.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55It...it's not that.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Well, what is it, then?
0:50:01 > 0:50:05This afternoon I've had six meetings, made about 30 phone calls,
0:50:05 > 0:50:08organised four events designed to convince people
0:50:08 > 0:50:11- of how much important work my department does...- Mm-hm?
0:50:11 > 0:50:13..and do you know what thought has been running through
0:50:13 > 0:50:15my addled brain the entire time?
0:50:15 > 0:50:17Not really.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51Sorry about the time it's taken. Had to wait for the all-clear.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02There you are, sir.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16DOORS BEEP
0:51:30 > 0:51:33- Don't wipe your feet.- What?
0:51:33 > 0:51:36- I need your shoes.- Oh!
0:51:39 > 0:51:43They had two hours to mess with my samples while we sat in the van.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46But if that soil is contaminated, we might have enough here.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50- I feel so bad for you, Jack.- Why?
0:51:50 > 0:51:53You finally talk a co-worker out of their pants,
0:51:53 > 0:51:55and it's the Professor.
0:51:55 > 0:51:56SNORTS
0:52:00 > 0:52:01Useful?
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Dad!
0:52:07 > 0:52:09It's for you.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12- Who is it?- Professor Dalton?
0:52:14 > 0:52:16George Ryder.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19I understand that you were the last owner of Brimstead Farm.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Oh. It's taken you long enough to call me back.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25We haven't spoken before.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27It's about them building on the old convalescent home?
0:52:27 > 0:52:31Cos if that land's good enough to build on, I've been lied to.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33I got your details from the Farmers Union.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35But I do want to hear what you have to say.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39- Who are you?- Professor Dalton from the Lyell Centre.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41What's wrong with that land, Mr Ryder?
0:52:54 > 0:52:57- What do you think?- Who is she?
0:52:57 > 0:53:01Nikki Alexander. She's a doctor.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04- Huh. That'll be handy. - A pathologist.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Oh, I don't need one of them yet.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09A forensic pathologist.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13She's one of the team on the Brimstead Fields murder.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Well, maybe she'll be able to
0:53:17 > 0:53:22put a stop to that cockeyed development plan.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26You don't like her?
0:53:26 > 0:53:28I don't much like the sound of her.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32No.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Mm.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Don't like the sound of her.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41I called. I made an appointment.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43I'm sorry, but Lord Embleton isn't here yet.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Mr Ryder?
0:53:45 > 0:53:47Your appointment's with me.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53I call and write letters, and no-one wants to know me.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55I say I'll speak to this Professor Dalton,
0:53:55 > 0:53:58- and suddenly I've got your attention.- What can I do for you?
0:53:58 > 0:54:01- Who am I talking to? - We're on the same side.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05I was told nothing could be done with that land. Any of it. Ever.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08The development is a mistake. It was never supposed to happen.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10- So, are they going to build on it, or not?- I don't know.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12But your situation doesn't change.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14Well, that's not good enough for me.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Please don't do that.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18If it's all right to build on Brimstead Fields,
0:54:18 > 0:54:20I want the proper value of my farm.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23Not the pittance I was given when they told me it was worth nothing.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25- Do you get that?- I understand.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16Well, can we meet? I have your address.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18No, no, no. That's my daughter's house. Keep her out of this.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- What are you afraid of? - I'm not afraid.
