0:00:02 > 0:00:07THIS PROGRAMME CONTAINS SOME SCENES WHICH VIEWERS MAY FIND DISTURBING.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21'We read stories in flesh and blood and bone.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27'We piece together lives from residue.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32'And every one of those lives is unique,

0:00:32 > 0:00:34'except in one respect...

0:00:36 > 0:00:39'...that each of us wants to love and be loved.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43'Because if we don't connect,

0:00:43 > 0:00:46'then we just move through the world like breath in the air

0:00:46 > 0:00:48'and we're nothing.'

0:01:16 > 0:01:19'Reports are coming in of violent outbreaks

0:01:19 > 0:01:20'And at least one known death

0:01:20 > 0:01:22'at Langdon Vale Prison.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24'No details have been released as yet

0:01:24 > 0:01:29'and the prison authorities insist they are regaining control after several hours of rioting.'

0:01:33 > 0:01:34'Langdon Vale was first established as an open prison

0:01:34 > 0:01:36'exclusively for women offenders

0:01:36 > 0:01:39'and has, until now, enjoyed a trouble-free reputation,

0:01:39 > 0:01:43'which makes this sudden outbreak of violence all the more surprising.'

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Her name's Beth Fox.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Somebody got into her cell last night, slit her throat, et cetera.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53- No witnesses.- Et cetera?

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Yeah, body's a mess. It's not pretty.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57INDISTINCT SHOUTING

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Hi. Jim Ryan. Governor.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Dr Eve Lockhart. How come somebody could just get into her cell?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Well, it's an open prison, they have their own keys.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11We've got a suspect.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13There was a spat last night between the victim and another prisoner -

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Nicole...- Henderson.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18She's like top hen in the coop.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19I've seen the CCTV footage.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22She batters the victim over the head with a pool cue,

0:02:22 > 0:02:24but that doesn't account for the state of the body.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29WOMEN SHOUT

0:02:35 > 0:02:37This door was locked, yeah, when you found the body?

0:02:37 > 0:02:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, from the outside.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42We searched the place. There was no key in the cell.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48My God.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Look, I'm gonna have to get you out of here. I thought we'd secured the floor.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04No, no, no, we need to get the body back to the Farm

0:03:04 > 0:03:06as quick as we can for autopsy.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10No-one's gonna stick around here longer than it's safe to.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Have you ever seen bruising like this before?

0:03:37 > 0:03:38No. Swelling, I have.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40A body'd been left in front of a gas fire for a week

0:03:40 > 0:03:43and blew up like a beach ball.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Right...

0:03:48 > 0:03:51We've got no outward signs

0:03:51 > 0:03:53of sexual assault.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55We've got rice-water diarrhoea staining.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Eve?- Oggy, do you want to...?

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Yep, hello? Is everything all right there? Under control?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think so. They seem contained, at least. Listen...

0:04:03 > 0:04:07- The blood on the floor here. - Are you getting this, Eve?

0:04:07 > 0:04:11There's no spray pattern whatsoever, which suggests to me...

0:04:11 > 0:04:13The heart had already stopped pumping when the artery was cut.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Why cut someone's carotid when they're already dead?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18There's no obvious signs of a struggle.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Well, there was massive bruising.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Yeah, evenly distributed over...

0:04:21 > 0:04:2480% of her body with no clear trauma sites.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Yeah, except for this.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Well, Hale said she was hit over the head with a pool cue,

0:04:34 > 0:04:37so that makes sense.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39One identifiable injury.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48This way, girls.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50And you're sure it's safe?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Everyone's banged up in their cells apart frae half a dozen up on the roof.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Eh, and before you ask, I'm no' risking going up there to get them,

0:04:56 > 0:04:59- no' with news cameras watching. - Tell me about Nicole Henderson.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01She's coming to the end of an eight for trafficking.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- You said she's top dog here, yeah? - She's a bloody nightmare.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Always feels the need to, you know, challenge authority.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Sees herself as the union rep, as it were.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12So on paper, you run the place,

0:05:12 > 0:05:14but actually, she's the one wears the trousers, right?

0:05:14 > 0:05:17What was her relationship with Beth Fox like?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Nicole had a girlfriend in here,

0:05:19 > 0:05:21until Beth came and broke it up. PHONE RINGS

0:05:21 > 0:05:22What was her name?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Tess Williams.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'll have to take this. My line boss.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Ryan?

0:05:29 > 0:05:33No, no. No. no. No, it's under control. Everything's under control.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08What happened?

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Er, screws took her to the infirmary.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15No, I meant what happened to cause the fight?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Look, I've spoken to Jim Ryan.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21He reckons you're the cock of the prison.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24You don't want to believe everything Jim Ryan tells you.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Because?- Because he's a knob-head.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29He wants me transferred out and he'll do anything to make that happen.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Did she say something to you? Beth? Did she scare you?

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Oh, yeah(!)

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Yeah, I was shitting myself.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39That's why I smacked her over the head with a pool cue.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- OK. Is that Tess Williams? - Um... Yeah.- Your ex?

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- I'm not a dyke.- Oh, no(!) Just all these years in prison - needs must, I understand.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49So, you and Tess, you're all sweet,

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Beth comes along, takes her off your hands.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Ooh. You have to go after her with a big stick, don't you? - We went our separate ways ages ago.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Again...

0:06:58 > 0:07:01what was the problem last night, Nicole?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Beth. Beth's the problem.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08She's insecure, takes it out on people she's close to.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Eh, I bet you know all about that one, don't you, eh?

0:07:11 > 0:07:15Mm? You don't like yourself very much, do you, eh?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Why you ended up stuck here, doing this shitty job.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Yeah, thank you. So, what you're telling me is, Beth and your ex, Tess, they had an argument

0:07:22 > 0:07:26- and you decided to step in and play the Good Samaritan?- Yep.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Oh, come along! You're gonna have to give me something a bit better than that, my love! Hm?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33What do you think I am? Some kind of bloody monkey?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Tell me about Tess.- What do you want to know? She's up on the roof.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44- You can nip up there and ask her yourself. - Is she violent?- No.- Never?

0:07:47 > 0:07:51She does what she wants, she goes her own way.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54She's not frightened of anything...

0:07:54 > 0:07:56or anybody.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Everybody works for everybody else in here.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03So, if you've got a deal happening, you've gotta share.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06There is no deal. Nothing that concerns you, anyway.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- It's all right, I'm fine. - What we had is history.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14And if you've got a problem with that, take it out on me, not Beth.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15Come on.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Look, I know what you're thinking, but I never killed anybody.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33I don't have that kind of form

0:08:33 > 0:08:38and I do not hold that kind of grudge.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51These are Beth's clothes for examination.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Also, there were two different hair samples on her pillow.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54We're gonna need to take DNA profiles,

0:08:54 > 0:08:56staff included, to see who that hair belongs to.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Well, the prisoners' DNA is on the police database.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Be just as quick to make your own. I have to go to a judge to access the records.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05- OK, let's do bloods and screen for toxins while we're there.- OK.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11And anything you may have on Beth, Tess, Nicole,

0:09:11 > 0:09:12- can you send to me and to the Farm?- Sure.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Now, Tess is still on the roof, right?- There's eight of them up there.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Yeah, I need her down.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18I told you...

0:09:18 > 0:09:20She's a suspect. I don't care

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- what it looks like on television. - I can't make that decision.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Dragging women off the roof, all that bollocks. I need her down here, I need to talk to her now.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28My boss is on the way. Speak to him.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Mike, if you're gonna do a sweep of the cells,

0:09:30 > 0:09:33can you prioritise Nicole Henderson and Tess Williams, thank you.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Mike, whoever cut Beth's carotid, there may be blood traces on clothes.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Yeah, yeah, we're on to it. - Also her throat.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56It wasn't stabbed as such,it was more like...a careful incision

0:09:56 > 0:09:59with something small, like a modelling knife.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Well, there's no sign of a knife here. I mean, not yet.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05It looked like she'd been severely beaten, but there are no impact sites.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Really? You sure about that?

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Yeah, of course I am. I wouldn't say it otherwise.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Oggy...

0:10:12 > 0:10:14The tox screen on Beth's blood?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17- I'm in the middle of it right now. - What, there?

0:10:17 > 0:10:19I'm sorry you've had to come looking for me.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- No, no, I didn't mean that. - But I like it here, OK?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23I mean, why not?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I'm usually on my own in there, I might as well be on my own out here.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Do you want me to stay and do it with you?- It's fine.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30SHE SIGHS

0:10:30 > 0:10:35OK. Well, er, let me know as soon as you have anything, right?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- 'Good night.'- 'Good night.'

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Am I a suspect?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01You'll have to ask the police.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02I'm asking you.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04I just do the science.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07What are you so frightened of, hmm?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Me?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14CHUCKLES

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Would you be frightened if you saw me on the street, or is it just this place?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20I wouldn't see you on the street, would I?

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Oh, you might do. We all go out to work here.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I might call on you one day.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32So, what is it that you do... for work?

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oh! Heh! Like you give a shit.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42All right.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44I work for a chippy.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Beth was in a caff on the river.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Tess works for a cleaning company.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52There's no such thing as a free lunch here, you know.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54We all stand by one another.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00It's OK, you know.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04You can talk to me. I'm not the police.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06I do.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07I stand by people, me.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Tess...

0:12:15 > 0:12:16What?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, she can be so focused, like, so...

0:12:24 > 0:12:26..single-minded.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30She'd have to be, to do what she did to...

0:12:31 > 0:12:34..get put away in the first place.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40I can forgive her owt, me. Hmm.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Mm.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45She taught me things about myself.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51She reminded me of who I was,

0:12:51 > 0:12:53that it's OK to care about people.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Hmm.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59Hm.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04INDISTINCT SPEECH

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Hurry up!

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Why'd you do that?

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Huh!

0:13:30 > 0:13:32To see what you'd do.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Oggy, are you there?- Whoa!

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Oggy? Oggy, I just e-mailed you over some CCTV footage.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Can you research the attached medical files?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Counselling tape of Tess Williams.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58I'm trying to find out what your primary state of mind is here.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Well, we need sustenance, don't we?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04We need to be inspired to see beyond these four walls.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06And, at the risk of sounding ungrateful,

0:14:06 > 0:14:10there are very few people I can connect with in here.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I feel alone most of the time.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13I suppose my studies are a way

0:14:13 > 0:14:16of smuggling something real and good inside me.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18It's like medicine.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27'Time isn't measurable in terms of experience.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30'I mean, sometimes an hour can seem interminable,

0:14:30 > 0:14:33'but if, say, you're with somebody that you love, then...

0:14:33 > 0:14:35'it's elastic.'

0:14:35 > 0:14:38'Sure, but maths deals in measurable absolutes.'

0:14:38 > 0:14:41'No, no. Not always.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43'It's not that easy to explain.'

0:14:43 > 0:14:44'OK.'

0:14:47 > 0:14:50'What I'm trying to find out is, what exactly does this do for you,

0:14:50 > 0:14:54'besides it being an intellectual challenge?'

0:14:54 > 0:14:55'Oh, right.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58'Well, that's simple.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- 'Maths is the window into other worlds...' - Mike, whose cell are you in?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Tess Williams.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05TESS CONTINUES SPEAKING ON RECORDING

0:15:05 > 0:15:07What is she, some kind of mathematician?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09'..in quite the way that we experience them.'

0:15:09 > 0:15:12'And that mirrors what goes on in your head, yeah?

0:15:12 > 0:15:15'Other dimensions that don't obey normal rules?

0:15:17 > 0:15:21'That dimension where you take your sister's pain away?'

0:15:21 > 0:15:26Oggy? You must have the results of the tox screen by now, surely.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Oggy?- Oh, yeah. Nothing's come up.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Do you want me to invent something? - No, I just want you

0:15:34 > 0:15:38to focus on what's important, rather than watching prison TV.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Oh, strewth!

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Mike?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Yeah.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49I need your help here. I'm looking at sections of Beth's skin

0:15:49 > 0:15:51and some of the arterials have burst close to the surface.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Well, that would explain the bruising.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55So, what caused the damage, then?

0:15:55 > 0:15:57I don't know. Nothing chemical.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Not what we've tested for anyway.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00- Bacteria maybe?- Maybe.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Tests are still ongoing.- Well,

0:16:02 > 0:16:04it could be a natural toxin. There were some native things here -

0:16:04 > 0:16:06moonseed, monkshood,

0:16:06 > 0:16:07wolfsbane.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Just focusing on what's important here, but has anyone looked on Tess's bookshelves?

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Eve, have a look at this.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23She's a very clever girl.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24- Aye, got a PhD.- Where'd she do that?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Here?- Within the prison system.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Did a BSc and then a Masters. - What in?

0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Eh, maths.- Where was she before? - She started off at, er,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Cookham Wood Young Offenders. - How old was she?- 16.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Then onto Rampton, treated for psychosis with delusional something or other.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Then back into the general prison population.- What did she do?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Her younger sister had a disease, cystic fibrosis.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Tess got it into her head that she wisnae gonna survive

0:16:49 > 0:16:53if she wisnae with her 24 hours a day, so... They say she nursed her with total dedication

0:16:53 > 0:16:55then one day just snapped.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Tried to suffocate her. Put her out her misery.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00- She still dangerous? - Unpredictable, maybe.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02OK, violent?

0:17:02 > 0:17:03- Mike?- Yeah, go ahead, Eve.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Rice-water diarrhoea and poor skin turgor - ring any bells?

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Who exactly do I have to talk to in order to get her off the roof?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Sorry, excuse me, gents.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Well, that could be a variety of things.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15OK, you wouldn't normally get bruising and swelling like this,

0:17:15 > 0:17:18so God knows, but the bacteria screen has come back positive.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20What for?

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Vibrio cholerae.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Cholera?!

0:17:32 > 0:17:34'Sooner or later, you're gonna come back late

0:17:34 > 0:17:38'from whatever it is that you're doing and Ryan over there

0:17:38 > 0:17:41'is gonna use you to pretend that he's got a big dick.'

0:17:41 > 0:17:42'So, what are you saying?'

0:17:44 > 0:17:46You need more time out there, right?

0:17:46 > 0:17:47I can fix it.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50We go to work, we clock in, we clock out - there's no leeway on time.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54There is if you go to college evening classes.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55I know people who'll sign you up.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57You don't have to actually go,

0:17:57 > 0:18:02but if anyone asks, they'll say that's where you are.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03Buys you time.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06What, and you'd do that just to be nice? Don't think so.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08No.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Making money, aren't you, hm?

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Little nest egg for when you get out.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Tell me about it.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Cut me in.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Just how infectious is this exactly?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37OK, listen to me, right?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39You cannot get this from person to person.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41You get it from food and water.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44So, kitchens are closed, right? Nothing whatsoever in or out.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Bottled water only.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49And we're gonna need blood samples from all the inmates and the staff.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51OK?

0:18:54 > 0:18:57One more time, loud and clear. I need Tess Williams.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- How many times do I have to tell ye?!- Shh! So what's it gonna take, hm?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04People dying of cholera before you get off your arse?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Not with news cameras, OK?

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Oh, so you're gonna wait until we bus them out in ambulances?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Really?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12- And how d'you think that's gonna make your public image look?- Hm?

0:19:12 > 0:19:16DI Hale? I'm from the Home Office. Parvez Khan.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19At last! Somebody who might be able to make a decision!

0:19:27 > 0:19:29INDISTINCT SHOUTING

0:19:32 > 0:19:35SCREAMING

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Tess Williams? Tess?

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Tess Williams?

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Tess Williams? Tess!- Get off!

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Tess Williams...?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Get off me!

0:19:56 > 0:19:59There's no-one else up there. Where is she?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Huh? Where is Tess Williams?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16So, what do you want to do? Issue a public health warning?

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Something tells me the Home Office isn't gonna want to do that.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Country's safe in their hands and all.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Since when did we get cholera in the UK?

0:20:24 > 0:20:29So, how the hell did she pick it up, then? A day trip to West Bengal?

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Guys, the hairs Rosa found on Beth's pillow...

0:20:40 > 0:20:42They match with Tess Williams.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43OK, I'm on my way.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46We can place Tess in Beth's cell.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Fantastic(!) And can you place where Tess is now?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- She's up on the...- On the roof? No. Wrong. She's not there, she never has been.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- So who told you she was?- Nicole!

0:20:58 > 0:21:00So she's not on the roof and she didn't go to work. Vanished!

0:21:00 > 0:21:03You'd better come up with something quick, man! Think!

0:21:03 > 0:21:05She could have just walked out of here really, couldn't she?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07This is an open prison, you know.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09The doors are open at 6am for people in work placements.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Next of kin, have you contacted them?

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Her parents are dead.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15The sister - still alive?

0:21:15 > 0:21:16I don't know.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18What's her name?

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Eh, Caitlin.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20Do you have an address for Caitlin?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22There'll be nothing in the system. It was years ago,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25and as far as I know, there's been no contact since she was sentenced.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27All right, listen - my concern is we've got somebody out there

0:21:27 > 0:21:29- running around with cholera. - No, we don't know that for certain.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30OK. Maybe cholera, then.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Transmission person to person is extremely rare,

0:21:32 > 0:21:35so she's not gonna give it to anyone else outside.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Fine. But if it was cholera that killed Beth Fox,

0:21:38 > 0:21:40we're not looking at murder any more, am I right?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Look, she was dead before she was cut and yes,

0:21:42 > 0:21:45she had cholera in her system, but this is extremely important, OK?

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Cholera doesn't cause bruising and swelling...

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- He asked a simple question. - Yeah, and I'm trying to explain. - Look, we don't want an essay.

0:21:51 > 0:21:56All we want is a very simple answer, because to be quite honest with you,

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- I'm fed up with running about looking like a bloody idiot. - There are no simple answers.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02We make an observation suggesting one thing

0:22:02 > 0:22:04and then it's immediately contradicted by something else.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06It takes time to come up with scientific proof.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11You can't just throw a paddy and expect results, Hale - you have to learn some patience.

0:22:11 > 0:22:16All right, let's just assume for one moment it was cholera that killed her and Tess has it too.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Now, worst-case scenario - say the police can't find her quickly,

0:22:19 > 0:22:21and it remains untreated. How long will she have?

0:22:21 > 0:22:25The closest strain to what we found in Beth is El Tor 01,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28a Haitian strain which can kill within anything from 2 to 48 hours.

0:22:28 > 0:22:33Hello? Hello, it's Hale. I need an address. Caitlin Williams.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36As quick as you can.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41We test everyone.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44If anyone else is carrying it, they go straight onto antibiotics.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Except Tess Williams. How are you gonna test her?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- She's not here, is she? - So, find her.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52All right, whatever. For now, we keep this under wraps, OK?

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Nobody here needs to know about this. We can't afford a panic.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02You knew she wasn't up on the roof. You were stalling.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05Is that what this riot is about, to cover her getting out the front door?

0:23:05 > 0:23:07She didn't tell me anything.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11Now, you said that Beth was really hard work, right?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14That she was really insecure? She gave Tess a hard time.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16- I never said that. - So, Tess comes to you,

0:23:16 > 0:23:18she says, yeah, we've had a fight,

0:23:18 > 0:23:21she lost control, but she didn't mean to actually kill her.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24She's in pieces and she needs time to get away

0:23:24 > 0:23:28before they discover the body, will you help? Nicole, will you help?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31So, you stir things up. You put a couple of people up on the roof

0:23:31 > 0:23:35because you know that Ryan over there is too soft to go up and get 'em down,

0:23:35 > 0:23:38and by the time that we do, she's had, what, a three-hour head start?

0:23:38 > 0:23:42I need to know where Tess is, Nicole. Where is she?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47BUZZ OF CONVERSATION

0:23:51 > 0:23:55'Well, we all need sustenance, don't we? Whoever we are.'

0:23:55 > 0:23:57- She's fascinating.- That's one way of describing her.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Takes something special, I suppose, to cut somebody's throat.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- She was already dead. - Well, that's all right, then(!)

0:24:03 > 0:24:06'There are few people I can connect with in here.'

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Would you do that to somebody you say you love?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10'I feel alone most of the time.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11'I suppose my studies are a way

0:24:11 > 0:24:14'of smuggling something real and good inside me.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16'It's like medicine.'

0:24:16 > 0:24:17RECORDING REWINDS

0:24:17 > 0:24:19'It's like medicine.'

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Rosa, can you check if Tess gave blood in the last few days?

0:24:32 > 0:24:35I don't know, routine drug screening, whatever.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37I've got to test her somehow.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41I've gotta find out what we've got walking around out there.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Mike, I'm couriering a faeces sample from Tess's cell.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47If she has cholera, she'd have D and V, right?

0:24:47 > 0:24:49It'd show up in her faeces.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Can you scan it?- Yeah, will do.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Also, I'm thinking we might need some expert help here.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57A specialist in tropical diseases.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well, I know someone at university might be able to help.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01His name's, um, Neil Olsen.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Do you want me to get in touch? - Yeah.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05No... No.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Actually, let's just hang fire, see how widespread this is.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16These are from her cell, right? Her sister, Caitlin.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Caitlin, Caitlin, Caitlin... Completely obsessed with her.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- So obsessed she tried to kill her? - Yeah. But there was a kind of noble logic to that.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Did she survive, the sister?

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Yeah.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03'I suppose my studies are a way

0:26:03 > 0:26:06'of smuggling something real and good inside me.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08'It's like medicine.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12'I get the faintest glimpse of other dimensions

0:26:12 > 0:26:15'where things don't obey the rules of the universe

0:26:15 > 0:26:16'in quite the way that we experience them.'

0:26:16 > 0:26:19'And that mirrors what goes on in your head, yeah?

0:26:19 > 0:26:22'Other dimensions that don't obey normal rules?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25That dimension where you take your sister's pain away?

0:26:25 > 0:26:29- 'Tell me about Caitlin.' - 'Like I said,

0:26:29 > 0:26:31'every breath she took gave her pain.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33'I used to hear her screaming for someone to take it away.'

0:26:33 > 0:26:36- 'Where were your parents?' - 'My dad was next to useless.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39'My mum was...

0:26:39 > 0:26:41'impotent, like me.'

0:26:41 > 0:26:43'Except you weren't, though, were you?'

0:26:43 > 0:26:46- 'She wanted to be free of it.' - 'Would you do it again?'

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- 'I thought she was better off dead.' - 'Yes, I realise that.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52'What I'm asking is, would you do it again?'

0:26:52 > 0:26:54'Yeah, I'd do it again. Course I would.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56'Both our parents are dead now.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59'Without question, she's solely my responsibility.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02'So, if she was hurting that badly, then yeah, whatever it takes.'

0:27:22 > 0:27:25'Hi. Ben and Cat aren't here right now,

0:27:25 > 0:27:28'so leave us a message.' BEEP

0:27:28 > 0:27:29Sorry.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31I am here.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Hello?

0:27:33 > 0:27:34Hello?

0:27:44 > 0:27:47'Time isn't measurable in terms of experience.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50'I mean, sometimes an hour can seem interminable,

0:27:50 > 0:27:54'but if, say, you're with somebody that you love, then it's elastic.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56'It's not that easy to explain.'

0:27:56 > 0:27:58'OK.

0:27:59 > 0:28:04'What I'm trying to find out is, what exactly does this do for you?

0:28:04 > 0:28:06'Besides being an intellectual challenge.'

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Hi, sorry, you're needed.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Khan needs to make a public statement and he needs information.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42'Attempts are being here to move press and public away from the area,

0:28:42 > 0:28:44'but so far, no explanation has been forthcoming.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48'We are experiencing a really distressing scene. You can feel the tension here.'

0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Turn that shit off.- 'I will, of course, keep you updated.'

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Right, once again, simple question.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56Is this murder?

0:28:56 > 0:28:58And likewise, once again, for everyone's benefit,

0:28:58 > 0:29:04she had cholera in her system, and her carotid artery was cut postmortem.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Why is this so difficult to answer? - Because...

0:29:08 > 0:29:11I can't give you an absolute yes or no yet.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14Right now, we don't even understand how the cholera got into the building,

0:29:14 > 0:29:17and it's not behaving as I would expect, so...

0:29:17 > 0:29:20All right, you just listen to me, yeah? Just so you understand.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23I have the Home Secretary on my back about this.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26See, this is not some little incident

0:29:26 > 0:29:28that you can handle in your own sweet way.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Now, I have to hand them a bone,

0:29:30 > 0:29:33but I can't until I get something more than supposition from you,

0:29:33 > 0:29:36- and you are being paid handsomely... - Do you want me to make something up

0:29:36 > 0:29:40to get the press off your back? Is that what you want me to do? Do you?

0:29:40 > 0:29:43I'm as frustrated as you are, but I...

0:29:43 > 0:29:46I can only deal with the evidence I have,

0:29:46 > 0:29:48and if that's not good enough for you,

0:29:48 > 0:29:52then I suggest you pick up the phone and get someone else.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54No, no, no. No-one's asking to do that.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57PHONE RINGS

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Hale.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04Do we know yet if any of the other inmates have been infected?

0:30:04 > 0:30:05No, we don't.

0:30:05 > 0:30:09As soon as we do, you'll be the first to know.

0:30:09 > 0:30:12Good. Good, fantastic.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Found Tess's sister's address.

0:30:15 > 0:30:16Yeah, go on.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19- Eve?- Yeah, go ahead, Mike.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21I got some results on the blood and faeces tests.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Yep?- I'm still working my way through them,

0:30:23 > 0:30:25- so my results are inconclusive... - OK, I'll be right there.

0:30:25 > 0:30:26..but I thought you might want to know.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30So far, only one more prisoner has tested positive for V cholerae. It's Tess Williams.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33- How long has she got?- I don't know. Depends when she was infected.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37Hours at most. That's if antibiotics will even work against this thing. That's if we can even find her.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41So, you're just gonna give her a death sentence?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43I've also finished tests on the food and water - they're both clear

0:30:43 > 0:30:45so the infection couldn't have come in that way.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48Then it has to have been brought in by Tess and Beth,

0:30:48 > 0:30:50picked up somewhere outside the prison.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54See you in a bit.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Move over.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Tess, what are you doing? - Shut up, please.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19ENGINE STARTS

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Look, she's a good person, OK? She's decent.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23- Yeah, and we'll find her. - How? How are you gonna find her?

0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Well, Hale...- Hale?! Hale wouldn't know where to start.- Oggy...

0:31:26 > 0:31:30- She is way ahead of him. She's cleverer than him, she's much more capable than him...- Please.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32- Calm down.- Are you still there, Mike?

0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Yeah, I'm listening. Please... - She just wants to make things right.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37I'm guessing Beth and Tess both had jobs outside the prison.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39- She wants to make things right! - Shut up!

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Will you please shut up, please?!

0:31:46 > 0:31:49That's it. That's it, that's it.

0:31:49 > 0:31:50'We all need sustenance, don't we?'

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Did, um...

0:31:53 > 0:31:54Beth and Tess, did they work together?

0:31:54 > 0:31:56No.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Well, they must have got it from the same source, surely.

0:31:58 > 0:31:59Mike, is this a new strain?

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Well, I dunno.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03We need to break it down, we have to identify it

0:32:03 > 0:32:07so that we know how to treat it. If it's not El Tor 01 Haitian strain, then what is it?

0:32:07 > 0:32:10'I get the faintest glimpse of other dimensions where things don't obey

0:32:10 > 0:32:13'the rules of the universe in quite the way that we experience them.'

0:32:13 > 0:32:18'And that mirrors what goes on in your head, yeah?

0:32:18 > 0:32:22'Other dimensions that don't obey normal rules?

0:32:22 > 0:32:25'That dimension where you take your sister's pain away?'

0:32:25 > 0:32:28You're not getting out of here, so just stop it.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30SIGHS

0:32:33 > 0:32:36- PHONE RINGS - Oh, yeah, hang on.

0:32:38 > 0:32:39Yep, hi.

0:32:39 > 0:32:40Her boyfriend says she should've been back ages ago.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Well, did she tell him where she was going?

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Yeah, just to the local shops.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46Well, why'd she want to see her sister?

0:32:46 > 0:32:49My guess is she came back to see Caitlin to...do whatever it was that she failed to do years ago.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52She knows she's got 48 hours.

0:32:52 > 0:32:53- Less than 48 hours.- What?

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Well, we don't know precisely when she was infected.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59What precisely do you know, then, Eve? Cos the clock is ticking here.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Hey! It's your job to find her, not mine. I'm just doing the science.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06- Is that right? Well, not that I'd have noticed.- Excuse me?

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- PHONE BEEPS - THERAPIST: 'Tell me about Caitlin.'

0:33:09 > 0:33:12'You mentioned what things were like when you were at home.'

0:33:12 > 0:33:15'Like I said, every breath she took gave her pain.'

0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Oggy.- 'I used to hear her screaming...'

0:33:17 > 0:33:20You need to put your head somewhere else, OK?

0:33:20 > 0:33:22'My dad was next to useless.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26'My mum was...

0:33:26 > 0:33:27'impotent, like me.'

0:33:27 > 0:33:30'Except you weren't, though, were you, ultimately?'

0:33:30 > 0:33:34- 'She wanted to be free of it...' - Jeez!

0:33:47 > 0:33:49So, how are you feeling?

0:33:51 > 0:33:52Fantastic(!)

0:33:59 > 0:34:01- What else do you want me to say? - The truth?

0:34:04 > 0:34:07- D'you know, the last time I saw you, years ago...- I know.

0:34:07 > 0:34:08Yeah.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12..I woke up and you asked me the same question.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14And you want me to be honest with you now?!

0:34:14 > 0:34:17And what are you gonna do with that information, Tess?

0:34:17 > 0:34:19Are you gonna go away and write me a letter

0:34:19 > 0:34:21saying you hope I feel better soon, is that what you're gonna do?

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Or are you gonna try and make things better right here and now,

0:34:24 > 0:34:26- like you did last time? - So, when you wake up at night,

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- who's taking care of you?- Me. I am.

0:34:29 > 0:34:30No-one else?

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Why is that so important now, all of a sudden?

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Cos you know, I haven't spoken to you since I was a child.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46What happened, happened, and we both had to deal with the consequences.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52So, what are you gonna do?

0:34:52 > 0:34:55Cos after years and years of prison and psychiatrists

0:34:55 > 0:34:57and God knows what else...

0:34:58 > 0:35:01..it's still in you, isn't it?

0:35:04 > 0:35:08Well, d'you know something? Whatever warped shit is driving you on,

0:35:08 > 0:35:09I've survived you before.

0:35:11 > 0:35:12I beat you and I'm still here.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16And I am actually a grown-up.

0:35:16 > 0:35:17- No, you're still my...- No!

0:35:17 > 0:35:19I'm an adult.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21No, you're still my responsibility.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23I'm all you've got.

0:35:24 > 0:35:25No.

0:35:25 > 0:35:26Yeah.

0:35:26 > 0:35:30And even when Mum and Dad was around, it was all down to me, and you know it.

0:35:33 > 0:35:37I found some plant debris in Tess's cell, dandelion seeds,

0:35:37 > 0:35:39and there's something else I need to ID.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41Mike, have you had a look at Beth's clothes?

0:35:41 > 0:35:44- I haven't had time yet, Rosa. - Oh, come on, Mike!

0:35:48 > 0:35:49Eve?

0:35:51 > 0:35:55OK, look, I'm sorry. It's just that we are running out of time.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57What, and you think I don't know that?

0:35:57 > 0:36:00Look, the balance of probability

0:36:00 > 0:36:02is that something to do with cholera killed her, right?

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Yeah, agreed.

0:36:04 > 0:36:05So, why stab her after she's dead?

0:36:07 > 0:36:08Most likely because Tess

0:36:08 > 0:36:12had to convince Nicole to help her get away, and the easiest way to do that

0:36:12 > 0:36:15was to claim that she had actually killed Beth. Now, listen - what I'm thinking is...

0:36:15 > 0:36:16It's a donkey.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21So, you're saying she stabbed her because she was a donkey, is that right?

0:36:21 > 0:36:24No, this is. It's what geneticists call a donkey. The cholera's man-made,

0:36:24 > 0:36:27- It's a manufactured genetic mutation.- I don't understand.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30It's not a natural strain of the disease, it's been made in a lab for medical purposes.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33Here. The bacteria's been deactivated to make it safe

0:36:33 > 0:36:36then modified to carry medication directly to a target.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Look, if you had a tumour, this would deliver the chemo straight to it.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Tess kind of triggered the thought for me, listen.

0:36:41 > 0:36:47'I suppose my studies are a way of smuggling something real and good inside me.

0:36:47 > 0:36:48'It's like medicine.'

0:36:48 > 0:36:53"Like medicine." That's literally what this was designed to do.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54OK, slow down.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58What you're saying is that this donkey, or whatever, is the real cholera.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02Yes, it's just been redesigned, which is why it didn't behave

0:37:02 > 0:37:05like regular cholera would. Just think of it like a donkey carrying a load of medicine on its back.

0:37:05 > 0:37:06Yeah, but there is no load here.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09No, because I think this was just an experiment to see how

0:37:09 > 0:37:12the modified bacteria would react to being injected into the host.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14The load was gonna be added later.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17So, the cholera was somehow reactivated when it was introduced to Tess and Beth?

0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Yes. - How?

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I have no idea.- So, this isn't about cholera at all.

0:37:22 > 0:37:23It's about something else entirely.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25I mean, cholera's just the agent.

0:37:25 > 0:37:31- No, look... - So...so, why cholera? Why use that?

0:37:31 > 0:37:34That's my limit. We wanna know more, we have to get a geneticist on board.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37Not on this budget, we won't. Can't afford expertise, can we, Inspector?

0:37:37 > 0:37:40What are you trying to do, Mike? Hm? Bleed me dry?

0:37:40 > 0:37:44I don't believe I'm hearing this. Are we actually trying to save this woman's life here

0:37:44 > 0:37:45or is it all about costs and profit?

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Hey. You're overreacting.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16That was for Hale's benefit, to get more money out of him.

0:38:16 > 0:38:17- It's just a game they play. - Funny kind of game.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20He wouldn't deny us expert help, not at this stage.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27I don't want to have to examine Tess's dead body.

0:38:28 > 0:38:29Why?

0:38:32 > 0:38:34I don't know.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Maybe because...

0:38:36 > 0:38:37we're so similar.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42Her mind takes her to places she doesn't wanna to go, so does mine.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45She's locked up, so am I. We're both...

0:38:48 > 0:38:50..we're both on our own.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53You can't know someone from looking at images of them.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57Evidence and observation - it's what we do.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59I've watched her in therapy, Eve.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Hey, listen to me.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03If this gets personal, it'll only confuse things.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07Anyway, the truth is, you're not connecting with who she actually is,

0:39:07 > 0:39:11- just who you think she is.- No. - Yes, you are. Which is kind of typical bloke.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12Really?

0:39:12 > 0:39:19Look, I think she is passionate and selfless and that there is a goodness in there.

0:39:19 > 0:39:23- She said she'd harm her sister again if she got the chance.- No.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27- She did, in therapy. I've just watched it.- You are wrong. - She's dangerous.

0:39:27 > 0:39:28No!

0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Oggy...- No, you can't see her because...

0:39:31 > 0:39:33Because what?

0:39:35 > 0:39:36OK, look.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41I have got a skin that's paper thin and you, you're the opposite,

0:39:41 > 0:39:42you know?

0:39:43 > 0:39:46She's not like either of us.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Whatever bad stuff has happened to her,

0:39:48 > 0:39:51she's not frightened to say when she's wrong.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55She's not afraid of getting close to people like you are.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04Eve, the contact at the university I was telling you about, Neil Olsen.

0:40:04 > 0:40:05Um, he...

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Do you want me to go and see him or do you want to do it?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Thanks.

0:40:22 > 0:40:23Tess...

0:40:24 > 0:40:28I'm gonna be all right. I'm on the list for a transplant...

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Oh, and what if you don't get it?

0:40:30 > 0:40:32What then? More infections, more pain?

0:40:32 > 0:40:36Yeah, but that, that is my decision, isn't it? That's my life.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42Tess, I don't need you or anybody.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45You see, that's where you're wrong and that is what worries me.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47Because it's all right being independent,

0:40:47 > 0:40:49but what are you gonna do when you really, really need help?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Ben.

0:40:51 > 0:40:55- He'll tire of it, Caitlin. He will. - No, he won't.- He will.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57- Everyone does.- And did you?- No.- No.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01But you did what you thought was for the best for me.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03But you were wrong, Tess, weren't you?

0:41:12 > 0:41:14OK.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Just listen to me.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23The truth is...

0:41:23 > 0:41:26I need to be able to just go, but I can't unless...

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Unless!

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Unless you know that I've got someone to look after me?

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Yeah.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Is that what all this is all about?

0:41:46 > 0:41:48For God's sake.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Yes, I'm with someone that I love

0:41:52 > 0:41:53and who loves me.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59You probably won't understand this, but this is what normal people do.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02They take care of each other.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06I don't need you, so you can go...

0:42:06 > 0:42:09go and do whatever it is that you need to do,

0:42:09 > 0:42:12but just leave us to get on with our lives, please.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15OK.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23If we're testing some sort of hypothesis,

0:42:23 > 0:42:25- don't you think I should know? - Sure, just...

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Eve questions everything I say, so I want to be certain

0:42:27 > 0:42:31before I start making any announcements, so...please?

0:42:31 > 0:42:33Just the lungs?

0:42:33 > 0:42:34Yeah.

0:42:35 > 0:42:39Um, first I wanna know what's going on with you and Eve.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42Nothing. We just had a difference of opinion.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45Eve is very...anal-ytical.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47- CHUCKLES - And you're not?

0:42:47 > 0:42:49No, I... Well, maybe.

0:42:49 > 0:42:56- But not exclusively, you know. I...I'm open to other aspects of us that make us who we are.- Such as?

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Eve sees things very simply, you know. For her, it's just cause and effect.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02This happens here and that happens there,

0:43:02 > 0:43:04and somehow it all leaves an evidence trail

0:43:04 > 0:43:07and all we have to do, Oggy, is be clever enough to find it.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10Get to the point. This difference of opinion, that's about this girl, Tess, innit?

0:43:13 > 0:43:14Yeah.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18Look...

0:43:18 > 0:43:21I believe people can recover

0:43:21 > 0:43:24and people can be motivated to do right by others

0:43:24 > 0:43:26and the particular thing you did at a particular time

0:43:26 > 0:43:28shouldn't damn you for the rest of your life.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Look, I'm sorry to bring you both back to basics,

0:43:31 > 0:43:33but, um...I've finished testing Beth's clothes

0:43:33 > 0:43:36and there is plant material on it,

0:43:36 > 0:43:38maybe the same as you found in Tess's cell.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Er, would you mind, Rosa?

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.

0:43:44 > 0:43:45(Sorry.)

0:43:45 > 0:43:47All right, go. It's fine.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56In my head these last few years...

0:43:58 > 0:44:00..I've always been here with you.

0:44:01 > 0:44:02I know.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07But we have to move on. Both of us.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18And this responsibility thing that I keep talking about...

0:44:21 > 0:44:23Well, it makes you do strange things.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27It becomes like an obsession.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36I only ever wanted to help you.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40I hope you know that.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51But there's been a price to pay.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56And it's not just for me.

0:45:01 > 0:45:02So, like you say...

0:45:04 > 0:45:05..it's time we moved on.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07Enough.

0:45:11 > 0:45:12Enough.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16It's time it all stopped.

0:45:26 > 0:45:28LOCK CLUNKS

0:46:03 > 0:46:06BUZZ OF CHATTER

0:46:06 > 0:46:10Er, Professor Olsen? Excuse me, I'm so sorry.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12- I'm Dr Eve Lockhart.- Oh, hello.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15This DI Hale. We need to talk to you somewhere private.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17Is there somewhere suitable we could go?

0:46:17 > 0:46:20Excuse me. Um, come this way, please, it's more private.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22Dr Fields, could you join us?

0:46:25 > 0:46:28Yeah, I work in genetics. It's part of what I do.

0:46:28 > 0:46:33We think it's genetically modified V cholerae.

0:46:36 > 0:46:40- Modified for what purpose? - That's what we're hoping you can tell us.

0:46:40 > 0:46:44- We found it postmortem in a local patient.- Contracted in this country? - It appears so, yes.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47This woman, have you seen ever her before?

0:46:48 > 0:46:51- Was she the person infected? - Yeah, it was.- No.

0:46:51 > 0:46:53What about that one?

0:46:53 > 0:46:55No.

0:46:57 > 0:47:01Thank you. Look, does anyone else do this kind of work here?

0:47:01 > 0:47:04- There's a whole department. - There's people all over the country.- No, I said here.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05These women, they can't travel.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08Well, if the question is am I responsible for this work,

0:47:08 > 0:47:10then the answer's no - I'm not doing any research right now.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13If you want confirmation of that, check with the IREC.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15- The ethics committee. - PHONE RINGS

0:47:15 > 0:47:19- Research has to be approved and registered.- I'm sorry, but we're needed.

0:47:19 > 0:47:20You're needed here. We need help.

0:47:20 > 0:47:23- I'm making a speech.- Hello?

0:47:23 > 0:47:25- We're running out of time. Please. - Where?

0:47:26 > 0:47:27My details.

0:47:27 > 0:47:31- Send me what else you've got, I'll look at it tonight.- Right.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33Jim Ryan, they've got another suspected case of cholera.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35OK, thank you.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41She's positive - same strain as Tess and Beth.

0:47:41 > 0:47:44But she's not to be told, OK? We don't want a panic.

0:47:44 > 0:47:47What, you don't think she's got a right to know what's going on with her own body?

0:47:47 > 0:47:52- No, no, she forfeited that right when she was sent down. - Big hairy bollocks. Tell you what.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55This is now a police investigation and members of the public...

0:47:55 > 0:47:58are not invited. Thank you very much.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11OK, this is what happened.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Tess killed Beth, showed you the body,

0:48:13 > 0:48:15you stuck a couple of women on the roof to buy her time.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Tactical genius, me.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Tess told you that they'd had a fight and she'd stabbed her, right?

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Wrong.

0:48:22 > 0:48:27She was stringing you along. Beth was already dead by the time she knifed her.

0:48:32 > 0:48:33Why would she do that?

0:48:33 > 0:48:36- Why would she lie to me? - Like I said, to get you to help her.

0:48:38 > 0:48:40Nicole...

0:48:40 > 0:48:43Beth died of cholera.

0:48:43 > 0:48:44And you've got it.

0:48:46 > 0:48:49Tess has got it too, and she knows it.

0:48:51 > 0:48:55If she knew she's got cholera, then why would she just leave?

0:48:55 > 0:48:57She would get help. Why would she leave?

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Because she can't live without her girlfriend?

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Because she wants to go and see her sister before she dies?

0:49:03 > 0:49:05You tell me. Whatever, the clock is ticking

0:49:05 > 0:49:07and the longer you hold out on me,

0:49:07 > 0:49:10the less chance she has of surviving, and it's also true for you.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Tell me about the cholera, then.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18You must've all got it from the same source.

0:49:21 > 0:49:25Why should I help her? She lied to me.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27Because you told me she's a good person

0:49:27 > 0:49:29and she taught you how to care about people.

0:49:31 > 0:49:32You owe her this.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36I don't know where she's gone, I swear. I swear.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Look...

0:49:39 > 0:49:43This is, um... This is an engineered version of the disease.

0:49:43 > 0:49:47It's not responding to treatment.

0:49:47 > 0:49:51You and Tess will both need help. And that's why we need to find whoever planted it in you.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55OK.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58Tess got me and Beth involved in drug trials.

0:49:58 > 0:50:00What were they for?

0:50:00 > 0:50:01I don't know.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04Who conducted the trials? Was it Professor Olsen?

0:50:04 > 0:50:10Some woman in his department. But I don't remember her name.

0:50:12 > 0:50:13I'll be fine, right?

0:50:14 > 0:50:16Please find her.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18We will.

0:50:21 > 0:50:22I'm gonna go and get you some help.

0:50:22 > 0:50:24No.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Look, if this gets out,

0:50:26 > 0:50:29they're gonna transfer you back to maximum security.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32We won't see each other again.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34Look...

0:50:34 > 0:50:37we'll just... we'll get out in the morning and we'll sort it then, OK?

0:50:40 > 0:50:42OK.

0:50:42 > 0:50:43Try and get some rest.

0:50:45 > 0:50:48- PHONE RINGS - Yep, go ahead, Oggy.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51What part of the body does cholera target?

0:50:51 > 0:50:53Primarily the small intestine. Why?

0:50:53 > 0:50:55Definitely not the lungs, because we've just examined Beth's lungs

0:50:55 > 0:50:57and there's a massive concentration of V cholerae there.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59I don't understand that.

0:50:59 > 0:51:03Because the lungs are the target. The donkey was programmed to carry the medication there.

0:51:03 > 0:51:04Why the lungs?

0:51:04 > 0:51:07- Because Tess's sister has... - Has cystic fibrosis. Of course.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09They were treating cystic fibrosis.

0:51:09 > 0:51:11Yeah, but I still don't understand it. I mean,

0:51:11 > 0:51:14- why cholera specifically? - OK, two reasons.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16Firstly, it's very fast-acting, and secondly,

0:51:16 > 0:51:18because they have a natural resistance to it.

0:51:18 > 0:51:19It's a safe option.

0:51:19 > 0:51:23Cystic fibrosis sufferers can carry the cholera in the blood

0:51:23 > 0:51:25and not actually suffer from the disease.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Look, Eve, I am sorry, but I was right and you were wrong.

0:51:27 > 0:51:31Tess is not a threat to anybody. She only got involved to help her sister.

0:51:31 > 0:51:32Yeah, well done, Oggy!

0:51:32 > 0:51:34Have you checked, is anyone up at the university

0:51:34 > 0:51:36researching cystic fibrosis?

0:51:47 > 0:51:49Right now, no-one.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52But a Dr Fields ran out of money last year.

0:51:52 > 0:51:53Same department as Olsen.

0:51:59 > 0:52:02Right, we know the bacteria's been engineered.

0:52:02 > 0:52:03One woman has already died.

0:52:03 > 0:52:06Over here. Look, please.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17Two more are infected. We're into damage limitation.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20I don't know anything about this, I swear.

0:52:20 > 0:52:23- Oh, come on.- Look, it's very simple.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26I have witness statements implicating you. Either they're lying or you are.

0:52:26 > 0:52:30We need your help to resolve this before anyone else is affected.

0:52:35 > 0:52:36OK.

0:52:38 > 0:52:43I met Tess when I tutored her on her first degree at Holloway.

0:52:43 > 0:52:45I bumped into her a few months back.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49The cleaning company she works for have a contract here.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52And you thought because you knew Tess and Caitlin's history,

0:52:52 > 0:52:54you'd get them to take part in an unregistered trial.

0:52:54 > 0:52:56SCOFFS Neil knows

0:52:56 > 0:52:59I was perfecting a system for delivering medication.

0:52:59 > 0:53:02- I didn't know about these trials. - No, but I'm sure you'll agree,

0:53:02 > 0:53:05- this is massively beneficial.- Did you tell Tess it was unregistered?

0:53:05 > 0:53:09Absolutely, yes, and she was all for it, for Caitlin.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12I mean, do you realise how difficult it is to get funding right now?

0:53:12 > 0:53:14- Strangely enough, I do, yeah. - Look,

0:53:14 > 0:53:17I deactivated the modified cholera bacteria

0:53:17 > 0:53:20before injecting it into the test subjects.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22I mean, obviously they have no natural immunity.

0:53:22 > 0:53:25I had no idea that the bacteria would reactivate.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27If I did, I would've called a halt to the trial.

0:53:27 > 0:53:29And the subjects would've been in touch, surely, if there was a problem?

0:53:29 > 0:53:32They were in prison. It's not that easy.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34I'm sorry.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36So, why has it reactivated?

0:53:36 > 0:53:40Possible contact with protein cell receptors, I don't know. I'll have to look into it.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43Your cholera is not responding to tetracycline or doxycycline.

0:53:43 > 0:53:47We could try a combination high dose of tetramethoprim

0:53:47 > 0:53:50and sulphamethoxazole - we should start there.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52OK. I'm gonna call the prison.

0:53:52 > 0:53:56Um... if I could come with you, I could maybe help.

0:53:56 > 0:53:58The women are presumably in the hospital.

0:53:58 > 0:53:59Nicole is.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03Did you pay any of them?

0:54:03 > 0:54:05Nicole I did, not the other two.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07They weren't in it for the money.

0:54:07 > 0:54:12We were all trying to do something decent.

0:54:13 > 0:54:14Yep.

0:54:22 > 0:54:23Beth.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27Beth?

0:54:30 > 0:54:31(Beth?)

0:54:57 > 0:55:00We found Tess's sister.

0:55:00 > 0:55:02- She's OK.- And Tess?

0:55:04 > 0:55:08- Well, what are you doing?! You have to find her! - You think we're not trying?

0:55:08 > 0:55:12We've looked everywhere that she's got a connection with. We're running out of options, mate.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25I've made an analysis from the plant debris on Beth's clothes

0:55:25 > 0:55:28and we've got a match with one of the samples from Tess's cell.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29I've just got to ID it.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36- Taraxacum.- Dandelion.

0:55:36 > 0:55:37- And this one?- Could be anything.

0:55:37 > 0:55:41Well, guess. We haven't got time to be 100% certain.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43- Typha angustifolia?- In English!

0:55:43 > 0:55:45Bulrushes.

0:55:45 > 0:55:48Well, Nicole did say that Beth had a job in a cafe on the river.

0:55:56 > 0:55:57HEART THUMPS SLOWLY

0:56:27 > 0:56:30INDISTINCT CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO

0:56:31 > 0:56:33SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE

0:56:41 > 0:56:45'The paths we take sometimes lead us away from people we know and love.

0:56:49 > 0:56:54'But in the end, what matters is that we affect the lives of others for the better somehow -

0:56:54 > 0:56:58'whoever we are, whatever our story.

0:57:14 > 0:57:19'Obsession always destroys what it intended to nurture.

0:57:19 > 0:57:24'But if you're able to let yourself love honestly and without fear,

0:57:24 > 0:57:29'then maybe that huge heart you have will somehow set you free.'

0:57:36 > 0:57:39'We pretty much know who this is. Or rather was.'

0:57:39 > 0:57:40- Richard Warner.- The barrister?

0:57:40 > 0:57:42He was a human rights lawyer.

0:57:42 > 0:57:44- I'm not going to invest another penny.- Thanks, Dad.

0:57:44 > 0:57:46- Thanks for believing in me(!) - Anything else you're not telling me?

0:57:46 > 0:57:47Anything else I don't need to know?

0:57:47 > 0:57:48You need to catch this guy!

0:57:48 > 0:57:50- I know you, Mr Warner. - Police! Don't move!
