MAN CRIES

0:00:180:00:19

Hi, Oriel. Beautiful painting.

0:00:220:00:26

Miss Ashby!

0:00:260:00:27

Hi, Jimmy.

0:00:270:00:29

David?

0:00:290:00:31

David.

0:00:330:00:35

-David, it's time to take your medicine.

-I don't want them.

0:00:380:00:42

David, that's enough.

0:00:420:00:43

I don't want them from you.

0:00:430:00:45

David, Dr Laine said you must take them.

0:00:450:00:48

-No.

-David, take your medication.

-It's all right, Jimmy.

0:00:480:00:51

-Please, David, would you just...?

-No!

0:00:510:00:54

ALARM BLARES

HE CRIES

0:01:280:01:30

I'm sure this isn't really quite what you had in mind

0:02:340:02:38

when you suggested professional development.

0:02:380:02:40

I can't just turn and run the first time it gets difficult.

0:02:400:02:43

Evening.

0:02:520:02:54

You might want to watch your shoes.

0:02:550:02:57

-Do you have a name?

-Violet Ashby, 23 years old.

0:03:200:03:23

Nurse on duty.

0:03:230:03:25

Before dinner, she had an altercation

0:03:250:03:27

with one of the patients, a David Hoyle.

0:03:270:03:29

During dinner he came back to the bathroom and he attacked her.

0:03:290:03:33

Looks like the knife was taken from the kitchen.

0:03:330:03:35

Miss O'Brien!

0:03:350:03:37

Hey. Having a quiet night out at the old nut house, are you?

0:04:030:04:07

Oh, sorry. No, I didn't mean...

0:04:100:04:14

Sorry.

0:04:140:04:16

-Parks.

-Oh, sir.

0:04:160:04:18

Death knock, sir?

0:04:210:04:23

Yeah, her father lives out in Wendouree.

0:04:230:04:25

Wendouree?

0:04:250:04:27

Um, don't you usually handle this sort of thing?

0:04:270:04:31

Not tonight.

0:04:310:04:32

I could drive him, sir.

0:04:320:04:35

The doctor's helping me with my professional development.

0:04:350:04:38

Perhaps this falls into that category.

0:04:380:04:41

Yes.

0:04:410:04:43

Yes, I'm sure the Superintendent could drop me home.

0:04:430:04:46

We might be here for a while.

0:04:460:04:47

Oh, all right. Just do it properly.

0:04:510:04:53

Yes, sir.

0:04:530:04:54

-Doctor Winters.

-Superintendent.

0:05:100:05:13

My police surgeon, Dr Lucien Blake.

0:05:130:05:16

Oh.

0:05:160:05:17

I had the greatest respect for your father.

0:05:170:05:20

Dr Blake was wanting to know a few things about the attacker.

0:05:200:05:24

David came to us two years ago, catatonic.

0:05:240:05:28

He's made great progress in the last few months.

0:05:280:05:30

Good. Has he ever displayed violent behaviour before?

0:05:300:05:35

He attacked his mother.

0:05:350:05:36

She had him committed.

0:05:360:05:38

Is there anything else I can help you with?

0:05:380:05:41

No, I don't think so.

0:05:410:05:43

You should get those cuts on your hands seen to, though.

0:05:430:05:46

And by the way, any chance I might be able to speak with David?

0:05:460:05:50

You'll have to talk to Dr Laine.

0:05:500:05:51

He was frantic when we found him.

0:05:570:06:00

ECT was the kindest thing we could do for him.

0:06:000:06:03

Electroconvulsive therapy.

0:06:030:06:05

Well, it has a bad name but it can be very effective,

0:06:050:06:08

depending on the voltage and frequency.

0:06:080:06:10

And when will he be able to talk?

0:06:100:06:12

He'll be awake in an hour or two

0:06:120:06:14

but it will be 12 hours or so before he's fully alert.

0:06:140:06:18

You have secure rooms here, don't you, doctor?

0:06:180:06:20

We do and we could continue treatment here

0:06:200:06:23

-until the courts need him, of course.

-Right.

0:06:230:06:27

Well, as your police surgeon,

0:06:270:06:29

I recommend you stay here.

0:06:290:06:32

Save you rostering on a man for suicide watch.

0:06:320:06:34

I mean, up to you, of course.

0:06:340:06:37

It's all yours.

0:06:370:06:39

Thank you, doctor. That was an act of kindness.

0:06:440:06:48

-Lucien.

-Kenneth Laine.

0:06:480:06:51

-Ah.

-After you.

0:06:510:06:53

Thank you.

0:06:530:06:54

-Oh, it's so cold in here.

-Yes.

0:06:560:06:59

Have you seen ECT before, Lucien?

0:07:000:07:03

Not in a medical setting, no.

0:07:030:07:06

What other setting is there?

0:07:060:07:09

You see a lot of things during war time, Kenneth.

0:07:090:07:11

We have no idea how shooting electrical impulses

0:07:130:07:17

through the brain can help these poor souls but it does.

0:07:170:07:21

And one day I want to know why.

0:07:210:07:25

-Interested in research?

-Oh, very.

0:07:250:07:28

Hmm.

0:07:280:07:29

I understand he attacked Miss Ashby earlier in the afternoon.

0:07:290:07:34

Do you know why?

0:07:340:07:36

Well, David has always had trouble with female authority.

0:07:360:07:39

David was committed after threatening his mother.

0:07:400:07:43

Female authority issues.

0:07:430:07:45

She had ambitions for him to be a classical pianist.

0:07:450:07:51

I believe the pressure was too much for him.

0:07:510:07:53

Question is, how did he get his hands on that knife in the first place?

0:07:530:07:58

I don't know.

0:07:580:08:00

Kitchen reported it missing a couple of days ago.

0:08:000:08:03

He's left the light on for her.

0:08:440:08:47

The boss usually does this.

0:08:470:08:50

You've never done this before, have you?

0:08:500:08:52

No, I have, I have. I just...

0:08:520:08:54

-I hate it, that's all.

-Do you want me to come with you?

0:08:560:08:59

I knew you'd forget your keys.

0:09:170:09:20

Here we go.

0:09:210:09:23

-Yes?

-Ah, excuse me, sir. Sorry to disturb you.

0:09:280:09:32

Is this the home of Violet Ashby?

0:09:320:09:35

Put that hat on, constable.

0:09:430:09:45

-Sorry, sir?

-Hat on.

0:09:450:09:47

If you're going to do this, do it properly.

0:09:490:09:52

I used to be in the Force. I know the rules.

0:09:520:09:56

Yes, sir.

0:09:560:09:57

-I'm afraid I have some bad news.

-Not on a bloody doorstep.

0:09:590:10:03

Didn't that boss of yours teach you anything? Who's this?

0:10:030:10:08

I'm District Nurse Mattie O'Brien.

0:10:080:10:10

Well...

0:10:150:10:16

..don't just stand there.

0:10:170:10:19

Cleaning the room already?

0:10:340:10:36

Oh, there's no point leaving it like that.

0:10:360:10:38

You're quite sure about that?

0:10:380:10:40

-You are joking, aren't you?

-I don't know.

0:10:400:10:43

-Oh, Blake!

-No, I'm serious. I... I...

0:10:430:10:45

I don't know.

0:10:450:10:46

Look, say you're a homicidal maniac.

0:10:480:10:52

No, no, no, no, please. Listen, listen.

0:10:520:10:54

And you're completely insane, you have mother issues

0:10:540:10:57

and you've decided you're going to kill the nurse on duty.

0:10:570:10:59

What do you do?

0:10:590:11:01

Do you go and steal a knife and hide it somewhere,

0:11:010:11:04

wait for a few days till she's all alone,

0:11:040:11:06

then make your move?

0:11:060:11:09

-Maybe.

-Then you're not insane, are you?

0:11:090:11:11

Because you've planned it.

0:11:110:11:13

So what are you saying?

0:11:130:11:15

Well, I'm saying...

0:11:150:11:17

I don't know. I'm not getting anything here and that's the problem.

0:11:190:11:22

I so much preferred working with your father.

0:11:250:11:28

I can well imagine.

0:11:290:11:30

We had a call at the station at 7.40pm

0:11:330:11:38

this evening to attend the Blackhill Psychiatric Hospital.

0:11:380:11:42

By the time we arrived, the deceased...

0:11:430:11:46

-Violet.

-Violet...

0:11:460:11:48

..had...

0:11:500:11:52

..had, ah, sustained multiple stab wounds to the abdomen.

0:11:530:11:57

It appears to have been a pre-meditated attack.

0:11:590:12:01

One of the patients.

0:12:030:12:06

I'm sorry, sir.

0:12:060:12:07

-Was she interfered with?

-No, sir.

0:12:220:12:25

Not from what I saw.

0:12:260:12:28

Is there a Mrs Ashby? Perhaps, sir...

0:12:300:12:33

No.

0:12:350:12:37

Violet's mother is no longer with us.

0:12:370:12:40

They didn't look after her in that place.

0:12:450:12:48

I told her to leave but there was a matter...

0:12:480:12:50

With her it was a matter of pride.

0:12:530:12:56

Well, that's that, then.

0:13:020:13:05

Constable?

0:13:080:13:11

Vi wore her mother's eternity ring as a, um...

0:13:120:13:15

..kind of keepsake.

0:13:180:13:20

It was a mixture of emeralds and diamonds.

0:13:200:13:22

Your daughter's personal effects

0:13:220:13:24

will be returned to you as soon as possible.

0:13:240:13:26

The ring is the only thing I care about.

0:13:260:13:28

-Make sure it gets back to me.

-Yes, sir.

0:13:280:13:31

Bloody hell.

0:13:440:13:46

-Are you OK?

-Not really.

0:13:460:13:49

Danny and Mattie seemed rather subdued this morning.

0:14:070:14:10

-I'm not surprised.

-Hmm.

0:14:100:14:13

You were going to hand over your receipts.

0:14:140:14:16

-Hmm?

-Your receipts.

0:14:160:14:18

Yes, ah, that's right.

0:14:190:14:21

Um, I do have them, somewhere.

0:14:210:14:25

Actually, in a few places.

0:14:250:14:27

But I'll gather them all together.

0:14:270:14:29

Your father used to do his own bookwork.

0:14:290:14:32

I offered to help but it was a matter of pride for him.

0:14:320:14:36

Well, that's where Dad and I differ.

0:14:360:14:38

-Hmph.

-I have no pride.

0:14:380:14:39

Did you know, the most modern technique

0:14:420:14:46

for treating patients with mental illness

0:14:460:14:49

is to shoot charges of electricity through their brains.

0:14:490:14:53

Yes. Electroconvulsive therapy.

0:14:530:14:55

You been reading my medical books?

0:14:570:14:59

Only when you're not here. How does it work, anyway?

0:14:590:15:02

Well, no-one's really sure.

0:15:020:15:04

But somehow it seems to...break the cycle.

0:15:040:15:09

Must be terribly painful.

0:15:090:15:11

Oh, one couldn't even imagine.

0:15:110:15:14

However, very few side effects, apparently.

0:15:140:15:18

Short-term confusion and disorientation,

0:15:180:15:21

certainly headaches.

0:15:210:15:24

-And short-term memory loss.

-Oh.

0:15:240:15:27

I'll remember that when you forget to give me your receipts.

0:15:270:15:30

Ah, I'll take you through shortly, sir.

0:15:470:15:49

-Lawson.

-Sir.

0:15:530:15:55

I'm, ah, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.

0:15:580:16:00

Everyone is.

0:16:030:16:05

Would you like me to come with you?

0:16:070:16:09

No. This one'll do.

0:16:110:16:14

This way, sir.

0:16:140:16:16

Doug Ashby.

0:16:230:16:26

He was my Commanding Officer for ten years.

0:16:270:16:30

Made my life hell.

0:16:300:16:32

Is this your daughter?

0:16:470:16:49

Violet Ashby?

0:16:490:16:51

Yes, it is.

0:16:540:16:56

You can head off, Danny.

0:17:030:17:05

Well done.

0:17:070:17:09

There was one deep stab. That was the blow that killed her.

0:17:440:17:47

The knife was driven up under the ribcage,

0:17:470:17:49

punctured a lung, severed an artery.

0:17:490:17:51

She would have been dead in 30 seconds.

0:17:510:17:53

Get to the point.

0:17:530:17:54

That first blow seems almost designed to cause maximum damage,

0:17:540:18:00

suggesting a detailed knowledge of anatomy.

0:18:000:18:03

The rest, the rest were just decoration.

0:18:030:18:06

I'll do the talking. Doctor.

0:18:060:18:09

I'm not convinced this is necessary.

0:18:090:18:11

Well, we need to take statements where we can.

0:18:110:18:13

I'll be in my office.

0:18:190:18:20

Mr Hoyle?

0:18:310:18:33

I'm Superintendent Lawson and this is Dr Lucien Blake.

0:18:330:18:36

I'd like to ask you some questions about last night.

0:18:360:18:38

I don't remember anything.

0:18:390:18:41

What's the last thing you do remember?

0:18:450:18:49

The day room.

0:18:490:18:50

What time was it?

0:18:500:18:53

Don't know.

0:18:530:18:54

Was it before dinner? Was it after dinner?

0:18:550:18:59

Before.

0:18:590:19:00

I was playing.

0:19:030:19:05

Good. And what then?

0:19:060:19:09

Do you remember having an argument with Nurse Ashby?

0:19:120:19:15

You understand that she was killed some time later.

0:19:170:19:20

Yes.

0:19:220:19:24

Did you attack her?

0:19:260:19:28

I must have.

0:19:310:19:33

Nurse Ashby was really nice.

0:19:350:19:37

She asked me questions.

0:19:390:19:41

Then why did you kill her?

0:19:410:19:43

I don't know.

0:19:460:19:48

David, I've heard you're a very good piano player.

0:19:530:19:56

Not...good...enough.

0:19:590:20:02

-He thinks he killed her.

-Course he did.

0:20:060:20:09

Then why can't he remember?

0:20:090:20:10

Because he's a nutcase locked in a padded cell?

0:20:100:20:13

He didn't present as unfit, just confused.

0:20:130:20:17

-He's fit for trial.

-And that's what worries me.

0:20:170:20:20

PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

0:20:200:20:21

You know his fingerprints were all over the knife.

0:20:210:20:24

-You coming?

-Um...

0:20:260:20:28

I'll catch up with you later.

0:20:300:20:32

I couldn't help admiring your bird, it's beautiful.

0:20:410:20:44

-I've practised a lot.

-Yes, I can tell.

0:20:460:20:48

-I'm Lucien.

-Oriel.

0:20:510:20:53

What a lovely name.

0:20:550:20:56

-What are you going to paint?

-I don't know yet.

0:20:570:21:00

Do you know, my mother was an artist.

0:21:030:21:05

And sometimes she'd let me come in her studio...

0:21:050:21:08

..and I'd sit and watch her paint. I loved it.

0:21:100:21:13

Would you like to see something I've painted?

0:21:150:21:17

Oh, yes, please.

0:21:170:21:19

Oh, that's good. That's...

0:21:270:21:30

That's really good. Is...that David?

0:21:300:21:34

I painted it yesterday.

0:21:360:21:37

And...

0:21:370:21:39

..this is before he had the fight with Nurse Ashby, isn't it?

0:21:400:21:45

Before...and after.

0:21:450:21:48

MUSIC STOPS AND POWER DRAINS

0:21:480:21:50

Oriel, tell me. What did you think of Nurse Ashby?

0:21:550:21:59

She asked too many questions. MUSIC STARTS

0:21:590:22:02

Thank you, Oriel.

0:22:060:22:07

Hello.

0:22:160:22:18

-I'm Dr Blake.

-I know.

0:22:180:22:20

-And you are...?

-Oriel doesn't like you.

0:22:200:22:24

I'm sure Oriel can speak for herself.

0:22:240:22:27

I don't like you either.

0:22:270:22:29

But you do like Oriel, don't you? That's what this is all about.

0:22:290:22:33

Don't you talk about her.

0:22:330:22:35

-And why shouldn't I talk about her?

-Because you're weak.

0:22:350:22:38

Well, some people might debate that.

0:22:380:22:40

Now look, Oriel is a very lovely young woman

0:22:400:22:42

but this isn't the best way to gain her attention, is it...?

0:22:420:22:44

Bryn! Bryn, let him go!

0:22:440:22:46

Let him go!

0:22:470:22:49

Thank you.

0:22:540:22:56

Thank you, Dr Winters.

0:22:560:22:57

-They want you to stop upsetting the patients.

-Oh, do they now?

0:23:000:23:04

What they really want me to do is sack you

0:23:040:23:05

but I thought I'd soften it. You can't help yourself, can you?

0:23:050:23:08

Well, don't you think something's very strange there.

0:23:080:23:11

Course I do! It's an asylum. It's all bloody strange.

0:23:110:23:13

Well, that big chap who threatened me sees himself as Oriel's protector.

0:23:130:23:17

-I suggest we add him to the list.

-Oh, look, there's no list, Blake.

0:23:170:23:22

Hoyle was found with a knife, standing over that poor girl.

0:23:220:23:25

Is this where you say something about working with my father?

0:23:270:23:30

Don't tempt me.

0:23:300:23:31

You really think something's wrong about that murder?

0:23:330:23:36

Oh, I'm not sure. Danny.

0:23:360:23:38

How's Violet Ashby's dad?

0:23:400:23:42

He's a tough old bloke.

0:23:420:23:45

Apparently he was the boss's boss when he first started.

0:23:450:23:47

Made his life hell.

0:23:470:23:49

Well, explains a few things, doesn't it?

0:23:490:23:52

Listen, can you tell me where I might be able

0:23:520:23:54

to find Mattie this afternoon?

0:23:540:23:56

She was rostered on early this morning so she'll be home by now.

0:23:560:23:58

I did some checking around for you.

0:24:000:24:02

Ah, thank you.

0:24:020:24:04

Did you know Violet Ashby was accused of negligence?

0:24:040:24:07

Uh, a patient died last year, a Patrick Garret.

0:24:090:24:13

Apparently, there was some mix-up with his meds

0:24:130:24:15

and she got off with a reprimand.

0:24:150:24:18

A reprimand? For fatally mixing up someone's meds?

0:24:180:24:22

Well, apparently it wasn't quite so cut and dried.

0:24:220:24:25

The finding was vague.

0:24:250:24:27

And the hospital took her back.

0:24:270:24:29

Dear, oh, dear. That's not much of a recommendation, is it?

0:24:310:24:35

How are you?

0:24:380:24:40

Perhaps it was a mistake me taking you with me last night.

0:24:430:24:46

If I'm going to be serious about the work,

0:24:460:24:48

I need to see all sides of it.

0:24:480:24:50

Yes.

0:24:540:24:55

HE CLEARS THROAT

0:24:580:25:00

Mattie...

0:25:020:25:03

She was a nurse...

0:25:030:25:06

..and she was my age.

0:25:070:25:09

And she had...

0:25:130:25:14

She had her whole life ahead of her. Yes, I know.

0:25:140:25:17

Does this mean I'm not cut out for this?

0:25:240:25:27

Oh, not at all.

0:25:270:25:28

Do you know what it means?

0:25:300:25:33

It means you're absolutely the right person for the job.

0:25:330:25:36

Doctor?

0:25:420:25:44

A patient here to see you. No appointment.

0:25:440:25:47

Of course. One of our regulars?

0:25:470:25:50

No, I don't think so.

0:25:500:25:52

Oriel, what a nice surprise.

0:26:060:26:09

-Is that one of your mother's?

-That one?

0:26:180:26:21

No, no, not that one.

0:26:210:26:23

Why are you here, Oriel?

0:26:270:26:29

I'm a voluntary patient. I can sign myself out.

0:26:290:26:32

That's not quite what I'm asking, is it?

0:26:320:26:35

You said you liked my painting.

0:26:360:26:38

-Yes, I did.

-Would you like to see another?

0:26:380:26:40

-It's you.

-Yes.

0:26:490:26:51

Do you like it?

0:26:510:26:52

Wonderful. Really wonderful.

0:26:540:26:58

You're very talented, Oriel.

0:26:580:27:00

But I'm not sure that it was a good idea for you to come here.

0:27:000:27:04

Why not?

0:27:040:27:06

How did you come to be at Blackhill in the first place?

0:27:110:27:14

Mum and Dad pay for me to be there.

0:27:140:27:17

Why?

0:27:170:27:18

There was a boy I liked.

0:27:220:27:24

He didn't like me.

0:27:270:27:29

I got angry.

0:27:290:27:32

With him?

0:27:320:27:34

With his girlfriend.

0:27:340:27:36

I see.

0:27:380:27:39

And how did you get on with Nurse Ashby?

0:27:420:27:46

She was always asking questions.

0:27:460:27:49

Writing things down in her little book.

0:27:490:27:52

Hmm, that's what David said too.

0:27:520:27:55

She talked to him a lot.

0:27:550:27:57

That was after Patrick died.

0:27:590:28:02

Patrick was a patient, wasn't he?

0:28:020:28:04

They said Violet killed him accidentally.

0:28:040:28:06

Do you believe that?

0:28:060:28:08

Well, I'll tell you something, Oriel.

0:28:110:28:13

These paintings...

0:28:140:28:16

boy, they, uh...

0:28:160:28:19

Well, they really are exceptional.

0:28:190:28:21

I love the way you capture how you feel

0:28:210:28:25

and you managed to do that with your painting of David as well.

0:28:250:28:28

He's easy to paint. You know what he's thinking.

0:28:280:28:31

So if I was to look at your painting of David,

0:28:330:28:37

would I see that he was thinking of hurting Nurse Ashby?

0:28:370:28:40

David would never have hurt her,

0:28:420:28:45

especially not with a kitchen knife.

0:28:450:28:47

Why not?

0:28:470:28:48

His dad was a butcher.

0:28:490:28:52

He can't stand the sight of blood.

0:28:520:28:54

And he's terrified of knives.

0:28:540:28:56

I see.

0:28:590:29:01

Oriel...

0:29:030:29:05

..where were you last night

0:29:060:29:09

after David had his argument with Nurse Ashby?

0:29:090:29:12

Lucien is supposed to mean "bringer of light".

0:29:180:29:20

Did you know that?

0:29:220:29:23

Not really, no.

0:29:250:29:26

I think they're wrong.

0:29:290:29:31

What's going on?

0:29:340:29:35

Oriel Vogel can't tell me where she was last night

0:29:350:29:38

between the day room and dinner.

0:29:380:29:39

So?

0:29:390:29:41

She has a history of jealous attacks

0:29:410:29:44

and she's prone to inappropriate attachments.

0:29:440:29:47

Blake, you're a GP, you're not a shrink.

0:29:470:29:49

What if I can prove David Hoyle DID NOT kill Violet Ashby, hmm?

0:29:490:29:54

How'd you swing this? You're supposed to be staying away.

0:29:590:30:02

I may have lied to Dr Laine.

0:30:040:30:06

David, how are you? I'm Dr Lucien Blake.

0:30:100:30:13

Do you remember me?

0:30:130:30:15

Do you, um, do you remember why you've been locked in your cell?

0:30:170:30:20

Hmm.

0:30:230:30:24

Don't be alarmed, Lawson.

0:30:320:30:34

David, I want you to take this knife.

0:30:340:30:36

-I want you to take the knife and stab me.

-Blake.

0:30:360:30:39

Come on, you won't get into trouble, I promise.

0:30:390:30:41

-No.

-David, come on. I want you to take the knife.

-I can't.

0:30:410:30:44

Blake!

0:30:440:30:45

You can't take the knife, can you, David?

0:30:480:30:51

The very thought of touching the blade terrifies you, doesn't it?

0:30:510:30:55

Lawson, look, I...

0:31:020:31:04

I don't know who killed Violet Ashby but I can tell you this.

0:31:040:31:08

Of all the people it could be, it wasn't this young man here.

0:31:080:31:12

But I did.

0:31:120:31:14

I had the knife in my hand.

0:31:140:31:16

I had her blood on me.

0:31:180:31:20

-I can still see her.

-It's all right, David.

0:31:200:31:22

I killed her.

0:31:220:31:24

Killed her.

0:31:270:31:29

-David, hey, bloody hell!

-Get him out of here!

0:31:290:31:32

For God's sake!

0:31:340:31:36

You said you wanted to talk to David for research purposes!

0:31:420:31:46

My patients are not there for you to play games with!

0:31:460:31:49

I believe Dr Blake was testing a hypothesis.

0:31:490:31:52

What hypothesis?

0:31:520:31:54

Could you give us a moment, Ken?

0:31:540:31:56

-I will not let this happen again.

-It won't. Now, if you don't mind?

0:31:560:32:00

You've found it hard to believe that David Hoyle

0:32:080:32:10

could have killed Violet, haven't you?

0:32:100:32:13

First it was me you were wondering about, then it's Oriel.

0:32:130:32:16

Oriel has private sessions with Dr Laine.

0:32:180:32:21

I took her from the day room to Dr Laine's office.

0:32:210:32:24

I collected her an hour later and took her to the dining room.

0:32:240:32:28

I see.

0:32:320:32:34

And what is it you think you see, Dr Blake?

0:32:340:32:36

And what about you, doctor?

0:32:360:32:38

I did not kill Violet.

0:32:380:32:41

-And why should we believe you?

-Because I loved her.

0:32:410:32:44

I loved her.

0:32:500:32:52

And she seemed to love me.

0:32:530:32:55

You were lovers.

0:33:010:33:03

Dr Winters...

0:33:050:33:06

..what about her reprimand?

0:33:080:33:10

Violet always maintained she was innocent.

0:33:110:33:14

How'd you get the cuts on your hand?

0:33:140:33:16

Some of our patients harm themselves

0:33:210:33:24

just to give their internal pain an external form.

0:33:240:33:27

I'm no different.

0:33:310:33:32

How's the investigation going?

0:33:440:33:46

Someone's daughter died,

0:33:470:33:50

a number of lives have been pretty much ruined...

0:33:500:33:53

..and my pride has taken a battering.

0:33:540:33:56

Oh, I thought you didn't have any.

0:33:560:33:59

Hah! I thought so too.

0:33:590:34:01

Mm-hm.

0:34:030:34:05

-You mind?

-Sorry.

-Thank you.

0:34:140:34:17

Jean, hang on.

0:34:310:34:33

-What?

-May I?

-Hmm?

0:34:330:34:35

Jean.

0:36:470:36:49

-Did I wake you?

-No, I was up.

0:36:490:36:51

-Fancy a drink?

-No, I'm fine.

0:36:550:36:57

Ah, here's one you'll know.

0:36:590:37:02

Here's one you might know.

0:37:020:37:04

Join in whenever you like!

0:37:050:37:07

It's a little late for a singsong.

0:37:070:37:09

-Nonsense, never too late for a song.

-Yes, it is.

0:37:090:37:13

You play very well.

0:37:130:37:15

It's a shame we only hear you late at night.

0:37:150:37:17

Yeah.

0:37:170:37:18

Of course, Dad was a virtuoso, could play anything.

0:37:200:37:23

Which was why I eventually took up the drums.

0:37:250:37:28

-Oh, bloody hell.

-Don't worry. You should go to bed.

0:37:290:37:32

HE SIGHS

0:37:320:37:33

Yes.

0:37:380:37:39

Dr Blake's son gets it spectacularly wrong again.

0:37:410:37:44

Self-recrimination and alcohol, Jean, never mix.

0:37:500:37:53

I'll keep that in mind. Come on, bed.

0:37:530:37:55

-Oops. Um, shall I...

-No, no, leave that.

0:38:010:38:05

-Oh, it's a bloody mess.

-Yes.

0:38:050:38:07

Oh, I should probably...

0:38:090:38:12

I should probably...

0:38:130:38:15

..probably go and brush my teeth, Jean.

0:38:160:38:19

Ah, sweet Jean...

0:38:190:38:22

Ah, sir?

0:39:340:39:35

Violet Ashby's effects.

0:39:350:39:38

Her dad wanted them back.

0:39:380:39:40

Should I take them over or...?

0:39:400:39:42

No, give them here.

0:39:420:39:44

-That'll be all.

-Sir.

0:39:480:39:50

One set of car keys.

0:40:270:40:29

One pair of glasses, damaged.

0:40:320:40:35

And, ah, two gold rings.

0:40:390:40:42

One with gemstones.

0:40:420:40:44

That'll be all, Superintendent.

0:41:000:41:03

Thanks for the house call.

0:41:080:41:11

I'm glad it was you.

0:41:140:41:16

Not that mess of a man you call your constable.

0:41:180:41:20

Constable Parks is all right.

0:41:230:41:25

Lawson.

0:41:280:41:29

It really was one of the loonies that did this, was it?

0:41:330:41:36

A patient died up there a couple of months ago.

0:41:390:41:41

They blamed Violet for it.

0:41:430:41:44

She was trying to prove it wasn't her fault.

0:41:440:41:47

We think it may have been one of the patients.

0:41:500:41:53

Well...it's your investigation.

0:41:550:41:59

I'd be asking a few more questions.

0:42:020:42:04

Sir.

0:42:040:42:06

-Morning.

-Ah, good morning.

0:42:320:42:35

There's a plate of bacon and eggs when you're ready.

0:42:350:42:38

Thank you.

0:42:380:42:39

Jean...

0:42:390:42:40

I do apologise for last night.

0:42:420:42:44

My, um, playing was horrendous.

0:42:440:42:48

I wouldn't say that.

0:42:480:42:50

Dad would have.

0:42:500:42:52

Thank you for the tea.

0:42:520:42:54

Lawson.

0:43:160:43:17

Now...you're going to think I've lost my mind.

0:43:220:43:27

Ah.

0:45:070:45:09

-Oriel.

-Am I in trouble?

0:45:090:45:12

No, no, not at all.

0:45:120:45:14

In fact, I think you're about to be very, very helpful.

0:45:140:45:17

There we are.

0:45:190:45:21

I've been, um, studying your paintings.

0:45:210:45:25

They really are very good. Lawson, would you mind...?

0:45:260:45:28

Now this one.

0:45:310:45:33

Can you tell me what's happening here?

0:45:340:45:36

-You were talking to me.

-Right.

0:45:390:45:42

And this one...why is that so much darker?

0:45:430:45:48

The lights went down.

0:45:480:45:50

Our power system's very old.

0:45:500:45:51

It struggles to cope when there's additional drain on it.

0:45:510:45:54

DISTANT SCREAMING Oriel?

0:45:540:45:56

Do you know why the lights go down?

0:45:580:46:02

It's when Dr Laine does the ECT on us.

0:46:020:46:06

Right.

0:46:070:46:09

Right.

0:46:090:46:10

What about these ones?

0:46:110:46:13

You painted this one

0:46:150:46:17

before David had his argument with Nurse Ashby, didn't you? Yeah.

0:46:170:46:22

And this one...was after the argument, wasn't it?

0:46:240:46:29

He'd left the room.

0:46:290:46:31

The lights went low. I guessed it was for him.

0:46:310:46:34

Everyone else was in the day room.

0:46:340:46:36

Right. What time do you think that was?

0:46:360:46:39

-Seven o'clock.

-Seven o'clock.

0:46:400:46:43

Let's have a little look in the book, shall we?

0:46:460:46:50

Now...

0:46:500:46:51

..here we are.

0:46:530:46:55

"Hoyle, David.

0:46:550:46:58

"150 volts, 8.55pm."

0:46:580:47:01

After Violet was killed.

0:47:020:47:04

But there's no record of any treatment around seven o'clock.

0:47:050:47:10

Oriel, can you tell me...

0:47:100:47:14

how many times a day would you say

0:47:140:47:17

the lights dimmed?

0:47:170:47:19

Once or twice. If that.

0:47:190:47:22

Four times a day, at least.

0:47:220:47:25

-I count them.

-Four.

0:47:250:47:28

David had two sessions of ECT with Dr Laine that day,

0:47:320:47:36

before and AFTER Violet was killed.

0:47:360:47:40

Yet only the latter has been recorded in the log.

0:47:410:47:45

And there is no way, no way David could have killed Violet Ashby.

0:47:450:47:51

ALARM SOUNDS

0:47:530:47:56

What's that?

0:47:560:47:58

-Get some help!

-Step back.

0:48:020:48:04

-- Step back, I'll deal with this.

-Stay where you are! Ted, help me.

0:48:040:48:07

-The cavalry's arrived.

-This man's insane.

0:48:090:48:12

Oh...just angry.

0:48:120:48:13

He wants to know why your name

0:48:130:48:14

is all the way through his daughter's notebooks.

0:48:140:48:17

I can tell you why, Mr Ashby.

0:48:170:48:20

Dr Laine here thinks of himself as a researcher.

0:48:200:48:25

Lucien.

0:48:250:48:27

Extra sessions of ECT,

0:48:270:48:31

and I'm guessing heavier dosages of drugs,

0:48:310:48:34

just to see what happens.

0:48:340:48:35

I mean, after all, they're... they're just loonies.

0:48:350:48:38

What else are they good for?

0:48:380:48:40

And then one of them died.

0:48:400:48:42

And Violet was blamed.

0:48:430:48:45

-This was the one who framed her?

-Yes.

0:48:450:48:47

You see, Violet started asking too many questions,

0:48:470:48:51

and he must have worked out that she was onto him.

0:48:510:48:55

So he murdered her and mutilated her

0:48:550:48:59

and tried to frame one of his patients.

0:48:590:49:01

-This is absurd!

-Mr Ashby, please!

0:49:010:49:03

Sir! Sir!

0:49:030:49:05

I understand this is your old service pistol.

0:49:070:49:09

So?

0:49:090:49:11

Went missing in the changeover. We've been looking for it.

0:49:110:49:14

I-I just need to do a bit of paperwork,

0:49:140:49:17

then I can put it to bed. But you must give me the gun.

0:49:170:49:20

-Not till he confesses.

-Doug, it won't be admissible.

0:49:200:49:23

-You got enough to convict?

-I'll get it sorted.

0:49:290:49:32

You've got Violet's notebooks. She kept meticulous records.

0:49:340:49:37

You should be very proud of her.

0:49:370:49:39

You'll be charging me with firearms of fences.

0:49:470:49:50

And possible attempt to commit murder.

0:49:500:49:53

That's my decision, Doug.

0:49:530:49:55

It's time to go home now.

0:49:550:49:57

Kenneth Laine, I'm charging you

0:49:580:50:00

on suspicion of murder and assault.

0:50:000:50:02

You have the right to remain silent.

0:50:020:50:04

-You're old Tom's boy, aren't you?

-Yes.

0:50:070:50:10

So everyone keeps reminding me.

0:50:100:50:12

Good man, your dad.

0:50:120:50:14

Psychiatry is such a new field.

0:50:200:50:24

We're 150 years behind immunology, 500 behind surgery.

0:50:260:50:31

ECT is only in its infancy.

0:50:330:50:38

There's a new generation of anti-psychotic drugs.

0:50:380:50:42

Dibenzodiazepine shows great promise

0:50:420:50:45

when coupled with hypnosis.

0:50:450:50:47

And, uh, you thought you'd just speed things along a little?

0:50:470:50:50

No-one missed Patrick Garrett.

0:50:530:50:55

No-one would have missed David Hoyle.

0:50:580:51:01

At least their lives could have been of use to someone.

0:51:010:51:04

And Violet Ashby got framed when Patrick Garrett died

0:51:070:51:10

and she started asking questions.

0:51:100:51:12

David had told me Violet was keeping a notebook.

0:51:120:51:16

Doses, treatments, everything.

0:51:170:51:20

I couldn't let that go on.

0:51:200:51:21

Then you gave Hoyle ECT.

0:51:230:51:24

And while he was unconscious, you killed Violet...

0:51:270:51:31

..and dragged him into the room.

0:51:320:51:34

Let him take the knife so that when he woke up...

0:51:340:51:38

Well, he would have no memory of what he'd done.

0:51:380:51:41

We've been checking your past records

0:51:440:51:47

and there are some unexplained patient deaths

0:51:470:51:49

at other hospitals that you've worked at.

0:51:490:51:51

Not all of those were research.

0:51:510:51:53

What did your research tell you after all this?

0:51:550:51:58

Oh, Lucien.

0:52:020:52:03

It's far too early to tell.

0:52:040:52:06

Lovely to hear the piano at a reasonable time of day.

0:52:590:53:02

Jean.

0:53:020:53:04

Thank you for tidying up after me last night.

0:53:060:53:08

I made quite a mess.

0:53:100:53:12

No trouble at all.
