0:02:29 > 0:02:31- I think she could be a dancer. - Oh, come on!

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Bit of a long shot, this, isn't it?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- No, it isn't, it's a hunch. - Oh, right. Excuse me. A hunch(!)

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Could I ask you to come along and identify the body?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I can't. I don't know her.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39We never met.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56Has your sister been ill?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Never.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05We'll have to wait until we've done a postmortem examination.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- No!- It will be in a few days.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I don't want you to cut her up!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12She's coming home with me to Cuba now.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14That's not possible, I'm afraid.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I don't want my sister to be surrounded by strangers, or alone.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Hey, it's me. Can you get on to the UK Border Agency, please?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33All flights to Cuba.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Suspect is a Romario Martinez.
0:17:35 > 0:17:3730s, dark skin, about 5'10".
0:17:42 > 0:17:43So you're still here.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Didn't seem right, leaving her on her own again.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53I tried to call you. Forensics have been on.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It was cocaine in the condom.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59She must've swallowed a number of them, but because of the blockage,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02she wouldn't have been able to pass them in the normal way,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04so it leaked and poisoned her to death.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Look at how precise that cut is.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Someone knew what they were doing.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Yeah. Well...
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Someone with medical knowledge, or clinical skills.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Morning.- Morning.- I got something.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30From Issabella Martinez's passport,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I found the exact point of embarkation.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So I sent her picture to Immigration
0:18:34 > 0:18:36and they found the pair of them on CCTV.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39They then sent me his passport details and guess what?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42His name's not Martinez. He's not even her brother.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Excellent police work, DS Higgins(!)
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Sorry. No, that is interesting.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- All right, come on, what's up? - No, it's probably nothing.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Well, you're here now.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57The incisions on Issabella,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00they must've been made by someone with medical knowledge.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04So... Well, there's this doctor at the salsa club, he's Egyptian.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Asylum seeker, so he can't practise.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08PHONE RINGS Anyway, it's probably nothing.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Hello. DS Higgins.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Yeah, OK. We're on our way.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Right. They've picked him up at Exeter Airport,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18so can we get a wiggle on, people, please?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26You've got a visitor.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Mel!- Hi.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32You're a difficult lady to get on the phone.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33I've been busy.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35How's the leg?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Fine. Thank you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40So, will you come to the festival tonight?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm...I'm not sure.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Then let me take you for dinner.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Say yes.- Yes. Thank you.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Excellent. I'll see you later.- OK.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Unbelievable! - No, it's not a real date.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I'm just going to see what information I can get out of him.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02No, this. Come, see.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09That's Issabella. Where did you get this?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well, I tried the usual look-up routes,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13but she doesn't seem to have an online presence.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16So I did a reverse-image search on her picture
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- and found a link to this.- Pause it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's Yordan. He runs the dance school.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23He said he'd never met her.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- This is huge.- Does that mean I'm back in your good books?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Don't push it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I was going home...to my family.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Really? Because it looked to us like you were running away.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I have no wish to stay.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You people lost my sister's body.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42For a start, she's not your sister.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44She is.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47My own father was a very bad man.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54So Issabella's family...they take me in, they make me their son.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Issabella called me...brother.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02And we didn't lose her body. You took it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- What?- You took it to get the drugs.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06No!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- The cocaine you made her swallow. - No!
0:21:09 > 0:21:11The cocaine that leaked inside her,
0:21:11 > 0:21:12that flooded her brain.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14The cocaine that killed her!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Issabella is a good girl!- Sit down.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- She could not do this!- SIT DOWN!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25You are lying.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27We found her body.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30You found her body?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Yeah, we found her body with her belly cut open.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38You cut it open. You cut it open to get the drugs
0:21:38 > 0:21:40and then you flung her off the clifftop, into the sea.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- But she washed up on to the rocks, like a piece of rubbish!- Stop!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK, I believe she was like a sister to you
0:21:45 > 0:21:48and you hated having to do what you did, but you did it!
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Smuggling drugs into this country is a serious offence, my friend!
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I did not smuggle drugs!- No, worse!
0:21:54 > 0:21:56You got Issabella Martinez to do it for you!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I did not make her do it.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Someone else made her do it.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- But it was not me. - HE SOBS
0:22:14 > 0:22:16You said you didn't know her.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I know a lot of women. Maybe I forgot.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Or maybe you lied.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27My wife, er...she's a jealous woman.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30It's better for her not to see this.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I don't think you understand how serious this is.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It's not serious.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37We were lovers, yes, but a long time ago.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You won't tell her?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41My wife.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Please! For me?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Why Issabella?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Of all the dancers in Cuba, why pick her?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53We didn't. She approached us.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Darling, why don't you go and put some clothes on? I'll handle this.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Darling?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You just can't stay away, can you?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I came to tell you that Issabella Martinez's body has been found.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Yes, we know. Judith told us.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Right. Also, Romario's been picked up by the police.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Then you should be talking to him, not us.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22He's the one that filled her with drugs.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- How did you know about drugs? - Judith told us.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Where is she?- Who? - That mother of mine. Who else?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30She's gone home. Why?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It doesn't matter.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- You all right?- No. - What's up?- Don't ask.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36- Buy you a drink?- No, thanks.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'm going to get home and wipe the floor with my mum.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Oh, how did you get on with Romario?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Well, he's denying everything, of course.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45But I still think he's behind it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'm not so sure. His grief seemed genuine.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Maybe. He says he came with her to keep her out of trouble,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54but here's the thing, they came via Jamaica.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- So? - Well, according to our intelligence,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- the coke's from Jamaica.- Oh.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I still don't think it's him.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Is this one of your hunches?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06No. Yordan Barranco, he lied about not knowing Issabella.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08They were lovers, he's just admitted it.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Well, did he give a reason? - His wife's jealousy.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Yeah. Now, that would do it. I could believe that.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Please, use your Ways and Means Act, see what you can find out about her.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I'll ask my mum.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Can I have a pint first? - Yeah.- Thank you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25I said I was sorry!
0:24:25 > 0:24:28So am I. That I have to watch everything I say in my own home!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Actually, it's my home, in case you've forgotten!
0:24:35 > 0:24:36You know Paula's husband?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Do you think he's been unfaithful to her?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I couldn't say. I don't want to be accused of idle gossip.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45OK, point taken.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48He might play around a bit, but he always goes back to Paula.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Do you know how long they've been married?- Four or five years.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53She went to Cuba on holiday, came back with him.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Good on her, I say.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Opened up her dance studio, reinvented herself.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59From what?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Average single mum pushing 50.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Her daughter married well, though. - Oh, really?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Gemma. She was a nurse.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Met some rich bloke and had lots of money.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Living the good life, till they divorced.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- KNOCK ON DOOR - It's open, Mick.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I heard she got nothing.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Maybe that's why she's always so po-faced.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Oh, hello, Mel.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Mel, I'm so sorry! I completely forgot! I'm not even ready!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27There's no rush. Something smells good, Judith.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Oh, yeah. It's ropa vieja.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- It's a traditional Cuban dish.- Huh!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Mick and I are having a romantic night in.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- We'll go. Give me five minutes.- OK.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Keep me company?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44What about you, Mel? What brought you here?
0:25:48 > 0:25:53I, um...don't really like to talk about that journey.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Ah, it's all right.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I was born a Muslim, from a good family.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I went to university and became a doctor.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09A paediatrician.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I worked in a hospital in Cairo.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13That's where I met Nada.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16She was a Christian.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I converted to Christianity so Nada and I could be married.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Hey, Annette. It's going to be a late one.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Yes, again.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29No, no, no, no, don't wait up.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31All right, I've got to go.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Sarge, this was found on the clifftop.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36All right, thanks.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It's one thing to be born a Christian, quite another to convert.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Once I did, I lost my job,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I lost my family, everything.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55But Nada and I, we fought against it.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We wrote letters about it, we went on marches.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00And, um...
0:27:00 > 0:27:04on one of these...Nada got crushed.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09She died, Jane.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I, um...I lost her.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I'm so sorry.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Thank you.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23But that's in the past.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25We need to move on.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28PHONE RINGS
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.- It's OK.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Oh, it's work. I have to take it. - Sure.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Davey, it's not a good time.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, I got that info we talked about.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Paula Barranco, Ways and Means.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46"Well, thank you very much, Davey." You're very welcome, Jane(!)
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Sorry. Thank you. Can you just, um...e-mail it to me? We'll talk tomorrow.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Yeah, well, thing is, there's something else.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Remember you said something about some doctor guy?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Er...yes. But I think I was wrong about that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Yeah, well, the thing is, we found a scalpel up on the clifftop.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Now, obviously, it's got to go through Forensics,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08but I'm pretty certain it's the same one was used on Issabella Martinez.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11So, do you know how I can get in touch with this guy?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Er...I-I don't know.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Well, do you think you can find out?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Yeah. Leave it with me.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Charming(!)
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Something's come up and I have to go. I'm really sorry.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I'm sorry, too.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34But don't worry.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Listen, Mel, um...
0:28:40 > 0:28:43you should go to the police station.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Me? - Ask to speak to DS Davey Higgins.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- About what?- Issabella Martinez.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53It's just routine. They're talking to a lot of people from the club.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56OK.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Mel Siddiqui.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Jane Kennedy said you wanted to see me.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Really? When?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Earlier this evening, at dinner.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29OK. You, er...you want to take a seat?
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Sure.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I just, er...
0:29:35 > 0:29:39I just wonder if you could help me with something, actually.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42This... Yeah...this scalpel.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- What about it?- Well, we think it might have been used in a crime.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And there's some writing there on the handle.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52But I can't make that out. Can you?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It's Arabic. Perhaps the name of the manufacturer.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Great. Thanks very much.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Will there be anything else?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Yeah. Just one more thing.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Look, I know it's tragic what happened to her,
0:30:22 > 0:30:23but it's been pretty tough on us, too.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I understand you paid for her flight.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27A business expense. So, what?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Well, I know that this place is struggling to stay afloat.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Yes, well, we're going through a rough patch right now.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35So it strikes me as odd that you would go to the expense
0:30:35 > 0:30:37of bringing a dancer all the way over from Cuba.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41What, so, you think I got her to smuggle the drugs?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- I'm just wondering how far you would go to save your dance school.- Oh!
0:30:44 > 0:30:46And your marriage.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Money would help for both, wouldn't it?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51My business may be in trouble, but my marriage isn't!
0:30:53 > 0:30:55They say the woman is always the last to know.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58But I always knew.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Something in the way they look at you, the way they touch you.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07You don't know what you're talking about.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Is everything all right?- Miss Kennedy here seems to think it's odd
0:31:10 > 0:31:12that we paid for Issabella Martinez's flight.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15It was a business expense.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17I thought you didn't work here.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I help out with the paperwork.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26All she wanted was her flight paid from Cuba. Read it.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28PHONE RINGS
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Davey.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35What about him?
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Arrested him?!
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Oh, come on. You know how hospitals work.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- You'd know how to smuggle a body out without being seen.- No.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46You'd certainly know how to cut one open.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- No, I swear.- Really?
0:31:48 > 0:31:49I thought you were a doctor.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Well, obviously, I'd know how to, but I didn't do it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Who else was involved?- No-one.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Just you and Issabella Martinez. - No.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- What have you done with it?- What?
0:31:58 > 0:31:59- The cocaine.- I don't know!
0:32:03 > 0:32:04OK...Doc.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I'm going to cut you some slack.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Let's say you didn't know anything about the drugs being smuggled in.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- I didn't.- And let's just say someone approaches you
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- with a little job on the side.- No.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17A nasty little job, but the money's good.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- How can you even suggest such a thing?- I'll tell you how.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23You know that scalpel we found up on the clifftop?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Made in Egypt.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30It's got Issabella Martinez's DNA on it and your fingerprints.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Hi, Mel.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Can we have a minute, please?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I'm afraid not, ma'am.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00It's good of you to come.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06When we met, you were looking for something in your briefcase.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- It was your scalpel, wasn't it? It was stolen.- Yes.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Why didn't you tell Sergeant Higgins?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17There are people in this country without permission.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Sometimes I give them medical help.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21But it's illegal.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24If I tell the police, we could all be looking at deportation.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27If you don't, you could go to jail for a crime you didn't commit.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29This isn't like my country.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32The British system is just and fair.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Jane...I won't go to jail because I am innocent.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Davey, you've got the wrong man.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I don't think so. I've got enough to charge him.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Yes, it was his scalpel, but it was stolen.- He told you that?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55No, I'm a witness. I saw him looking for it.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Come on, it's not just the scalpel, is it?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01He's got the motive, he's got the ability, he's got no alibi.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Well, actually, erm...
0:34:06 > 0:34:07What?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Look. The night it happened. We...
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Yes?- We'd just met at the salsa club and...
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It was late when we left.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19He walked me home and...
0:34:21 > 0:34:23We got close, and...
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- He stayed the night? - No, he didn't, but...- But what?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33He would've.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44All right, let's back up.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Let's say that he left you, then he got a call from whoever
0:34:47 > 0:34:48- asking for help.- Oh, come on.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- It didn't stop you being suspicious, did it?- That was before.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- Before what?- Look, Paula Barranco and her daughter, I think they're
0:34:54 > 0:34:55- in on it together.- Let it go.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Yordan Barranco married Paula for her money and she hasn't got any.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Gemma married for money and it backfired. They're both broke.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Plus Gemma used to be a nurse. She'd know how to make those incisions.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06She knew Mel was a doctor. I think she stole his scalpel
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- and I bet if you searched her house...- Let it go, Jane. Please.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32SALSA MUSIC PLAYS
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Morning.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Should I be scared?
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I need to find something. Anything to make Davey listen to me.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28I've been over everything, again and again.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31What?
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Where is it?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Where is that letter?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Listen to this. "Dear Sir or Madam, my name is Issabella Martinez.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51"I am an experienced salsa dancer from Cuba.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54"I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work in England
0:36:54 > 0:36:56"where I believe salsa is increasingly popular.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59"I'd be willing to give dance demonstrations in return
0:36:59 > 0:37:00"for my fare to your country."
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- What is wrong with this letter? - Nothing.- Exactly.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- She didn't write it.- So? - Nor Romario. Nor Yordan.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- It's too perfect. - A translator?- No, the envelope.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Eh?- When you open a letter, you chuck the envelope, right?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Yes.- But she didn't. She held on to it as proof.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- She handed it to me like it was exhibit A.- Who?
0:37:19 > 0:37:21The daughter. I need to talk to her.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- Hold on. Jane? Have you got her address?- Text it to me.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Clint, I need you to check out an international dialling code.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29001-876. Thanks.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54PHONE RINGS
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Is this you letting it go? - What are you doing here?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Had someone keep an eye on the place after our talk last night.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- So you were listening, then? - Told them to keep me posted
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- if they saw anything suspicious. - TEXT MESSAGE ALERT
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Jeez.- You any idea...? - Jamaica!- Eh?
0:39:12 > 0:39:16She was making long-distance phone calls to Jamaica.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17She's in on it. She set it up.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24I can't stand this waiting.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I've missed you so much.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I can't wait any longer.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33I want you right now.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40No. No. We have to stop.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41No, don't stop.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I can't do this to Paula.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Let's not think about her right now. I need you.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55We're good together. You know we are. Please, Yordan.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Please.- No, I can't. - What's wrong. You're shaking.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04I feel sick inside.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08I know it's been rough. Don't worry.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12You'll feel different once we get away.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- I'm not going anywhere with you. - Yordan, please.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Just sell the drugs and share the money. OK?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23No. No, no way! You're not dumping me because of her.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Because of you, what you did to her.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30You dare turn your back on me!
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Don't try that innocent act with me.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34She's my mother but she's your wife.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Not what you did to Paula. What you did to Issabella.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39What?
0:40:39 > 0:40:44I cannot forget. You took her body and you cut it open.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45You are dirty to me now.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49I did it for you.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54And so did she. You... You pig.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57You used all of us. You piece of...
0:41:06 > 0:41:11- Don't mind us.- Yordan!
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- You make me sick. - You are under arrest.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence
0:41:17 > 0:41:19if you do not mention, when questioned,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21something that you later rely on in court.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Come on. Let's get out of here.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29No. There is something worrying me.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Listen, you don't need to worry. I've spoken to DS Higgins.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- It was you told him I am a doctor, wasn't it?- Well, yes.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- You were suspicious of me? - Not really...
0:41:38 > 0:41:41And when we were talking, you were questioning me?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Mel, let's just jump in the car and we can talk...
0:41:43 > 0:41:45No, thank you. I'll get the bus.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49Mel.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Mel's been released. Obviously.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24And I'll put in a good word at the asylum board.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Thank you.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31You know, you really stuck your neck out for him.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33I just hope you...
0:42:42 > 0:42:44I'll catch you later.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Jane?- Yes?
0:42:53 > 0:42:54I'll see you around.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23All rise for Her Majesty's Coroner.
