NIKKI: Why does this one bother me so much? Why her?
It's so evil.
It's like an infectious disease. There's no cure for it.
(RANTS)
SKIPPER: What kind of doctor is Silverlake?
LEO: He's a consultant neurosurgeon.
They say he killed those three patients. I say it wasn't him.
CATINA: Maybe it was just a very unlucky ward last night.
- So they were all murdered? - Looks that way.
Very guilty. He wants to know how she looks.
- You're getting the hang of this. - That is how she looks.
(GUNSHOT)
Silverlake kills a number of his patients, then gets himself shot.
The idea that Nigel might have saved the life of a murderer...
He couldn't bear to live with this little girl's blood on his hands.
Dr Alexander?
HARRY: We need to keep an eye on Nikki. Not herself.
Help me. That's all I'm asking you to do.
- Medication for depression. - That would explain his moods.
Ying McCoy has not turned up for her shift.
SKIPPER: She's the only witness we've got, so we need to find her.
Both prime suspects dead.
This has not been my best week.

There are abrasions without bruising
under the arms on the left and right-hand side.
There are abrasions to the left and right wrists and forearms,
possibly consistent with ligatures.
There are dusky changes of decomposition,
more prominent to the right-hand side.
Can we have a photo of that, please?
WOMAN: Excuse me. Your coffee.
Thanks.
Thank you.
(SIGHS)
There's a build-up of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels of the heart.
Ooh, I need some air.
- You OK? - Top of the world.
Actually, I was going to give you a call.
I've come across something on Professor Silverlake.
Yeah? I'm listening.
- I think he was taking an SSRI. - Hmm?
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
I'm sure I'm meant to care about that.
- Are you OK? - Yeah, fine.
- You've missed them taking out the liver. - Oh, I'm kicking myself(!)
Sorry, sorry. Did I interrupt?
- I was just explaining that, erm... - Carry on.
SSRIs are drugs used to modify behaviour.
They inhibit the reuptake of serotonin into the presynaptic cell.
- Is that good or bad? - Not always clear.
I'm in desperate need of a black-and-white world.
It depends on how it affects the individual.
Typically they're used for people who suffer with mental illness,
depression for instance.
So you're saying he's a nutcase?
Most people would say they benefit from their use.
Mostpeople?
It has been recorded, anecdotally,
that there have been cases where the side effect of the drug
has caused violent episodes in some of the patients taking them.
And that, anecdotally, is not being a nutcase?
Most people who suffer from mental illness, of course,
- are not necessarily violent. - That's a relief.
Violent episodes are unusual. However...
Oh, I love it when experts use "however". Don't you, Cat?
- I hadn't really thought about it. - Yeah, they give you chapter and verse,
and just when you decide you believe them, they say "however".
It's like the sound of a coin being tossed.
However...?
It may just explain why Professor Silverlake...
- Went on a killing spree? -...behaved out of character.
Silverlake assaulted a number of patients in front of the hospital.
We've got it on CCTV. Are you saying the drugs made him do it?
They may provide some mitigation.
It didn't show up on the first tox screen.
I'll have the bloods run again and I'll get the lab to check for it.
I'd like to hang on to the body for another day
in case anything else presents itself.
Knock yourself out, but I don't know if he went on a killing spree.
It's a close-run thing between him and the nurse who looks more guilty.
Five people are dead.
You do all the tests you need.
Hiya. Hello, Julia. You're looking very lovely today.
Hiya, Dr H. Thank you.
I don't know who she's making all the effort for. It's certainly not me.
- We'd better go back in. - Yeah, they're doing the brain next.
Great(!)
- See you. - See you.
You know you say you came across this SSRI thing?
How?
His daughter told me about it.
Oh. Thank you.
SOCO find any medication when we searched the house?
Nothing.
You all right?
Of course I'm all right...Dr H.
Want some lunch later?
Can't. I'll be out.
Where are you going?
- Hi. Can I try this one on, please? - Of course.
So then we found the nurse dead,
the one who told us he was in the hospital.
Let me understand.
My husband is meant to have killed her, as well?
No, no.
Well, it's possible, I guess. But no, we think it's more likely
that she killed the patients and then she killed herself.
We think that she named your husband because he had been in the news.
It was the first name she could think of.
I see.
Because we can't put him in the hospital the night that they died.
And we looked very hard.
But we did find something else.
Is everything OK in there?
Yep, it's great.
- Oh, you look lovely. - I really like it.
Do you want some lingerie to go with it?
- Erm... - There's no harm in looking.
OK.
Ah. Now, this collection would show you off very nicely.
I'm going to have to resist. Thanks, though.
We found this CCTV footage.
This happened the day before the murders.
That's your husband.
Why do you think he did that?
- He was angry with them. - Angry?
You see these three?
They're the patients that were murdered.
My husband was at home with me the night these people died.
- They were not his patients. - Angry?
A doctor can only help a patient if they want to be helped.
He tried so hard.
He was angry they didn't.
I don't blame him.
A wasted life is a tragedy.
(SECURITY GATE BEEPS)
Erm, could you come with me, please? I just need to look in your bags.
- Of course. - (BEEPING)
- Do you have your receipts? - Yes.
Er...that's not mine. I didn't buy that.
I'm sorry, I don't know how that got into my bag. I promise you.
There's been some terrible misunderstanding.
It's Tony down at the main doors.
Can you send a couple of people down, please?
Hello, this is Harry Cunningham. Please leave me a message.
Harry, it's Nikki. I really need you to help me. I'm in Pendell's...
Could you please end your call?
I think I'm about to be accused of shoplifting...
- End your call now, please. - You don't have the authority
to tell me to end my call.
Listen, I really need you to help me. Can you call me back?
Can you come with us, please, to the security office?
Nikki?
Are you OK?
I don't think I am.
Thank you.
- For what? I didn't do anything. - You could have kept walking.
Well, I could see you needed some support.
There's no question I owe you that.
If you admit what you've done, I'll give you a caution and you won't be prosecuted.
Don't accept a caution.
- I didn't do anything. - I'd encourage you to accept a caution.
You're a doctor. If you accept a caution, you're admitting guilt
- and could be struck off. - We are prepared to prosecute.
Look me in the eye.
Did you do it?
No!
The presence of the items in your bag does not prove your intention to commit theft.
They would need to see you commit the theft or at least the act of putting
the items in your bag. Let them prosecute.
- Have you checked the CCTV? - We haven't got cameras
in the changing rooms. Don't think you're in any position...
- I think I'm in a very strong position. - And why is that?
Because I know I didn't do it.
You're very impressive.
Thank you.
- Are you a solicitor? - No.
- But you've done this before? - Don't be silly.
(LOWERED VOICES)
What am I supposed to do?
Let's go. They're not going to do anything.
You are banned from entering this store in the future.
Like I was really going to rush back!
(SIGHS WITH RELIEF)
So, erm...do you want to go for a drink or something?
I'd love to, but I can't.
Why can't you?
I need to get back to my flat.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to ask that.
I'm not myself.
No, it's fine. I'm on call overnight.
I'm trying too hard to be myself, and I'm not myself.
It's OK.
Listen, Naomi, thank you. You were amazing, seriously.
Really?
Yes.
Thanks again.
GIRL: No!
(WHISPERS) Oh, God.
What are you doing here?
Well, you called me...urgently.
Said you were being arrested.
So I went to the store and they said you'd left.
Everything's OK.
- Everything's OK? - Yeah.
OK?
And you didn't...shoplift?
No.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - Can I come in?
No. I'm really tired, OK?
OK.
- I can send a sample to another lab. - No.
How quickly do SSRIs metabolise?
SSRIs... Yeah, yeah.
I do know that,
but I'm not going to tell you.
How quickly do SSRIs metabolise?
Good morning. I'm fine, thanks for checking on me. How are you?
Sorry, I thought we were past small talk.
- Absolutely. But, you know, courtesy. - How are you?
- I am...worried about you. - Don't be.
- How quickly do SSRIs metabolise? - Depends on the formulations.
- Generally. - About 48 hours.
So if Silverlake has no traces of SSRIs in his bloods, then...
He hasn't taken his meds for a couple of days. Have you checked his hair?
Doesn't show.
He stopped taking his meds.
He's self-medicating anyway, so he's doing what he wants.
A violent reaction to withdrawal from his medication is possible.
Nikki, stop it. You're trying to force the facts into a conclusion.
There have been instances where people have reacted badly to withdrawal.
- Not that I or you know of. - There is anecdotal evidence.
There's anecdotal evidence of aliens abducting people.
Come on, there is too much on this to dismiss it.
You have no trace of the drug in his body, and a dubious theory to go with it.
His wife and daughter describe his mood changes,
there is statistical evidence as well,
there are too many violent events associated with SSRIs.
I don't know why you won't listen to reason.
You seem to want to defend the drugs. Why?
- Nikki... - What's in it for you?
Have you got a research grant hanging in the balance?
Why belittle what might be a plausible explanation for Silverlake's behaviour?
Nikki, there is nothing in it for me.
If someone were prescribed an SSRI,
don't you think they would present a greater inclination to instability?
A larger-than-normal number of violent events shouldn't surprise anyone.
You're a scientist. Think like one.
Ying McCoy. Ying McCoy.
- Where was she born? - No worries, I can hold.
Portsmouth?
Yeah.
- Yes. - Thank you very much.
Hello? Thanks.
What it is, we are investigating a shooting,
and we've got a pathologist who says the shooter's behaviour
might be to do with something called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
I know you make a number of these drugs. I was hoping I could speak to someone.
Police.
No, I don't think the public relations department is what I'm after.
Yeah, that's right. Detective Constable Catina.
SSRIs.
No worries, I can hold.
Every time I mention these SSRIs, I get put on hold.
Mrs Silverlake?
I...just have to get this off.
What are you saying?
Is it possible that he was self-medicating?
In his private GP's medical records, it said that...
How did you get those?
Naomi brought them to me.
I see.
In his medical records, there's mention that ten years ago
your husband sought some advice about depression.
- Ten years ago? Did he? - Yes.
- Do you remember any reason...? - We were thinking of getting a divorce.
It was a stressful time.
Naomi hadn't been well and...
...depression had run in his family.
- No mention of it again? - I imagine he recovered.
When I looked through the house with Naomi,
she showed me some medication your husband may have taken.
- It was an SSRI. - When were you in my house?
A few days after your husband died.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry, I thought Naomi would have told you.
She didn't.
What if the SSRIs contributed...?
He dedicated his life to treating others.
That's how I want him remembered.
I don't care about the rest.
I just thought that if I mention the state of his mental health,
- the inquest... - Look at how he died.
No-one could possibly believe he was mentally healthy, could they?
Mr Leith is here.
Leith?
Department of Health. Called this morning.
- What does he want? - To see you.
About?
He's keeping me guessing.
- Thank you for seeing me. - How can I help?
A sensitive matter, really.
I'd be grateful if it could stay between these walls.
One of your colleagues has been looking into the death
of Professor Nigel Silverlake.
- Dr Alexander, yes. - That's right.
We understand she is considering the possibility
that SSRIs in some way influenced his behaviour.
I haven't seen her postmortem findings.
I was really hoping that you might...
Let me make myself quite clear.
I have the utmost confidence in my team.
It is not my role to interfere in a colleague's postmortem findings.
Well, it might not be your role, but it may be in your interest.
Erm...
I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Well, think about it, and perhaps you will.
Are you threatening me?
Now, why would suggesting that you act in your own interest be a threat?
Zak!
- Yes, Professor? - Could you ask Dr Alexander to join us?
Do you have a card?
- I'm afraid I've run out. - Is that right?
Which part of the Department of Health do you work in, Mr Leith?
MHRA. That's Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency.
Yeah, I know the acronym.
We all want to have confidence in the work you do here.
It would be a shame to see that tainted by some inappropriate
and unsubstantiated remarks made by a junior colleague.
Thank you for your time.
Zak!
I'll just show him out.
- Was that about me? - Yes. And Silverlake and SSRIs.
I've never seen this before - someone from the DoH
trying to influence the outcome of a postmortem.
He called me a junior colleague!
- I need to report this to the coroner. - I need to report this to his boss.
I have no idea ifyou are responsible or not
for sending Mr Leith to see Professor Dalton
but I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate any interference...
Can I just stop you right there?
Alex, could you come in here, please?
I want to know what information Mr Leith has and how he got it.
Are you monitoring my e-mails? Listening to my phone calls?
I expect a full investigation.
This is Alex Leith.
(CHUCKLES)
Must have been awkward.
- Someone's messing with us. - Us or me?
Leo's already reported it.
Any adverse event involving an SSRI always has a big impact.
Professor Silverlake's death is getting a lot of publicity.
Connect the two and you're going to make waves.
Who would know I was looking into it?
Someone who works here? Is somebody watching me, following me?
Easy, don't get paranoid.
If it was the Department of Heath, then you couldget paranoid,
but this is just an ill-advised stunt, probably by a drug company PR,
they like fun and games. And you caught them. Point to Dr Alexander.
So how long had she been dead?
At least three days.
And she was chemically subdued before she died.
I try to chemically subdue myself just about every night, don't I, Cat?
Tox screen shows quetiapine.
It's an antipsychotic.
And I'm almost certain that her hands were bound.
Silverlake's fourth victim?
Cause of death is cardiogenic shock.
Ying McCoy was dead before she was hanged.
- Crime scene looked like a suicide. - Yeah.
Couldn't open the door because of the rope.
That had to have been done from the inside. Explain that.
I can't.
Maybe Silverlake tried to make it look like suicide?
What happened to him? Respectable man, lots of letters after his name,
suddenly becomes a mass murderer?
We have a problem with it being Silverlake.
Because?
Lividity creates a problem with the timeline.
What did you find?
It's not what I found, it's what I didn't find.
Lividity is the process whereby the blood stops moving after death.
It's a process that takes 48 hours before it comes to a standstill.
See here? This is where the blood collected after her death.
So we know that she either died lying on her right-hand side
- or was placed there after her death. - So what's the problem?
I estimate that she lay dead for two days on her right-hand side
- and then was hanged. - Are you certain?
It's an estimate.
Well, you know how much I like certain. Give me something that doesn't leak.
It could be that she lay dead for more than two days,
but the point is this, it couldn't be less.
Less than that, the lividity would have resettled in her lower limbs
as soon as she was strung up. And that's the law of gravity.
It didn't.
There is no sign of lividity in her lower limbs.
So she lay on her side for two days or more?
Of that, I am certain.
Then Silverlake was dead when Ying was hanged.
- That's the problem with the timeline. - I'm not liking this.
Everything about that scene looked like a suicide,
yet you're telling me it's not a suicide and it's not Silverlake.
Hmm.
Right. I want to reconstruct the crime scene tomorrow.
And I want you there.
(GASPS)
- Naomi! - You went to see my mother.
Yes. I wanted to ask her about the medication that we found
- and your father's medical condition. - He didn't have a medical condition.
You really upset her.
- I'm sorry. I thought... - No.
No, you see, you didn't think. That's the problem.
You really upset her, and now she's really upset with me.
I want my father's medical records back.
I can't give them to you. They're the property of the coroner.
- I want them back now. - I don't have them.
You really shouldn't have gone to see her.
- Is he right? - You're not asking me for an answer.
Not really.
They always think they're right. Maybe he's not right.
They couldn't open the door to the room.
When they found Ying's body, the cord was tied to the door.
To make it look like suicide.
How does the murderer get out of the room?
- Are you going to be OK? - Yeah.
I just need to be alone and hate myself for a little while.
I should have arrested her.
I would have saved her life if I'd have arrested her.
GIRL: No!
(POUNDING)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(POUNDING AT DOOR)
NAOMI: Nikki?
Nikki, are you all right?
Nikki, I know you're in there.
Naomi?
Is that you?
Hi. Look, erm...
I'm sorry about today. I don't know why I acted like that. It just...
It comes over me sometimes.
No problem.
I just stopped by to see how you are.
Fine. I'm fine. Just a little tired.
Do you want to go out?
Maybe have supper?
No, thanks.
You have to eat.
I'm really not that hungry.
You'll become ill. Your body will break down.
You won't be able to think properly if you don't eat.
Do you hear me? You have to eat!
This is really silly, talking through the door like this.
- Naomi... - It's really silly.
Why don't you open the door?
I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed early.
Maybe you're coming down with something.
Why don't you let me in? Maybe I can help.
No, I'm OK.
- You don't sound OK. Let me in. - Please! I'll see you tomorrow.
Let me in!
I'm going to bed. I'll see you tomorrow.
(THUMP)
The manner is still a big question.
- What time is the reconstruction? - Midday.
- I'll be there. - Thanks.
- Is Nikki here? - In a meeting.
- We have a new arrival. - I'll let her know.
Zak, what meeting did Nikki have this morning?
She didn't. She's just not here and I didn't want her to look bad.
- Have you heard from her? - No.
I tried calling her flat, but there's no answer.
- That's not like her. - I know.
I should probably try and call her again.
- You don't think anything has...? - No, no, no.
- No. Of course not. - No.
- I'm sure it's nothing. She's fine. - Yeah.
Nikki?
(WHISPERS) Nikki.
Come on.
You're very sweet. I'm OK.
You're OK?
I'm fine. I just need to sleep.
OK.
Are you sure you're OK?
I'll call you later, OK?
Is she all right? I've been trying to call her all morning.
Er... Sorry, I don't know...
- You're...? - I'm Naomi Silverlake.
Professor Silverlake's daughter. Yes, Nikki spoke about you.
- I'm Harry Cunningham, her colleague. - Hi.
- I'm sorry about your father. - That's very kind of you.
Yeah, she seems...fine. She's fine. She's just very tired, I think.
I can stay with her, if you have to go.
Yeah, I do. I have to be somewhere at midday, but...
- Well, why not? If you don't mind. - Of course not. She's a friend.
OK, well... Look, here's my mobile.
- Call me if there's anything. - OK.
And they're the keys to the flat?
Yeah. Great.
- Look after her. - I will.
No request for quetiapine was logged on the night.
There was no shortage of it on the geriatric ward, though.
It's a bit scary.
- Is she OK? - I think so. She's sleeping.
- I've spoken to Dr Banks. - Good.
It's here.
How much did Ying weigh, Dr Dalton?
Professor Dalton. Sorry.
Erm... 53 kilograms?
53 kilograms. So you'd have to dead-lift 1 1 6 pounds. How high?
Floor to pipe, 2.8 metres.
How did they do it?
If you look here and here,
there are abrasions under her arms, but there's little or no sign of any bruising.
And this tells me that they were very careful?
There's a hoist.
LEO: She must have been already dead before she got the abrasions.
Otherwise we'd see more bruising.
What if the killer sat her up like this
and secured her arms around the bar?
Yep. The marks are consistent with the width of the bar.
The rope was around her neck and tied to the door handle so you couldn't open it.
How would a killer get out?
You could wedge open the door, tie off the rope, then move the hoist.
Look at the photograph of the crime scene.
There's a stool lying on its side on the ground, and there's a bucket.
The body is hoisted into place,
the rope is looped around the neck,
and the end of the rope is tied to the handle of the door,
which is wedged open.
OK. Ready when you are.
And the weight of the body closes the door and keeps it shut.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
So, whoever killed her wanted it to look like suicide.
But it wasn't Professor Silverlake because he was already dead.
A third person?
(GASPS)
- What are you doing here? - I've been looking after you.
Where are my clothes?
- I took them off. - You took them off?!
You were sleeping in your work clothes.
I wanted you to be comfortable, don't you remember?
There's nothing to be frightened of.
(DOOR OPENS)
- Harry! - You're awake. How are you feeling?
- Oh, Harry! Harry! - OK, babes. What's...?
Naomi's been looking after you. You were dead asleep.
(WHISPERS) Harry, you have to stay with me. Help me, please.
There's someone Leo and I would like you to see.
I feel OK. I'm just...
very tired.
It's quite a common response.
That's it? Just tired?
I don't know.
I think I'm OK.
Anxiousness? Anxiety? A feeling of helplessness?
Put me down for one of each.
Depression manifests itself in lots of different ways.
Depression?
It's a broad set of symptoms, really, under one umbrella.
I've never thought of myself as depressed.
It's an illness, like any other illness.
Treat it correctly, you'll mend.
A kind of psychic sprain?
My soul has the flu?
We're back at the beginning. The third person could be anyone.
- It's not that bad, Skip. - Don't try and humour me.
Two defining factors - they had to be in the hospital at the time,
and they had to have medical knowledge.
Already we've moved away from it being just anyone.
How many people are in a hospital at any given time?
I'd say thousands during the day and hundreds at night.
It's two separate crimes. We look at Ying's murder separately.
We saw her in the hospital.
She disappeared that day, but she never left the building.
Have you any idea why you're depressed?
- Yes. - Ah, that's a start.
- You think? - I think it's better than not knowing.
- Not knowing might be easier. - Why is that?
I'm depressed because I live in a world where natural justice doesn't prevail.
Where evil seems to thrive and innocence is ridiculed.
And you think the world has ever been any other way?
I hope so.
(MOBILE RINGS)
Do you need to keep that on?
No.
Coming to terms with the realities of our lives
is very hard and causes a lot of pain.
You're not alone in feeling that pain.
- I'm feeling better already. - Why is that?
Misery likes company?
Are you a glass-half-full or half-empty woman?
I think that would depend on how thirsty I am.
Why would you deflect that question?
Why would you want to avoid telling me if you're an optimist or not?
Why do you feel the need to ask it?
- Optimists suffer more than others. - Do you think?
No. I tend to say things I don't think(!)
Do you often feel aggressive?
I wouldn't say often, but it's how I'm feeling right now.
You know, people with gambling addictions have a tendency to be optimists.
The price of tea in China comes to mind.
They fool themselves into believing
that somehow they can control all the outcomes of their wagers.
And you think that somehow my optimism shares the same DNA?
I think you believe in a universe that has a set of rules,
that is ordered and understandable, predictable,
and when it isn't, you're very disappointed.
You lose faith.
But this isn't really a rational way of looking at the world.
I mean, it's idealistic.
It's perfectly acceptable in the naive, but in someone like you...
It's just embarrassing?
A mentally healthy person tends to take the world as it comes.
- Accepts it. - Accepts that they can't change anything?
Accepts that there's a limit to what they can control.
We've got to chart Ying McCoy's movements in the hospital.
- Who saw her last? - Hmm.
Do you recall the last thing she said to you before she left the ward?
She was very upset. I think she said she was going to find Dr Silverlake.
Where is his office from here?
So, have you... have you ever felt panic?
No.
- Heard voices? - No.
- Hallucinated? - Nope.
- Are you on any other medication? - The pill.
Now, there's something I can vaguely control.
Maybe we're on the wrong floor.
She said the first floor.
Excuse me.
Could you point us in the direction of Dr Silverlake's office, please?
Yeah, sometime before Christmas.
You're just a bucket of chuckles, aren't you?
Pretty much. Can you just point us in the direction of Dr Silverlake's office
and put me out of my misery?
It's Dr Silverlake you want?
Which one?
Would you like the professor...
or the pharmacologist?
I'm going to write you a prescription.
This will help you control the anxiety. It's relatively mild.
- What is it? - Florixil.
It's a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
Are you familiar with them?
Yes.
They take two to four weeks to really take effect.
There is some discussion about the side effects of this class of drugs,
but the Committee on the Safety of Medicines have found no evidence.
However, were you to feel more anxious,
suicidal, have a compulsion towards self-harm,
please ring me immediately, OK?
Before or after 999?
Nikki with two Ks.
I think they just need the initial.
You may be depressed, but you still know who you are.
Naomi.
The N wasn't for Nigel.
She's on bereavement leave. Her father died last week.
I'm not entirely sure when she's scheduled to be back.
- And she's a doctor, right? - PhD.
Dr Silverlake. Ying McCoy was telling the truth all along.
Thank you very much.
We need to find a way to place her in the hospital -
computers, CCTV, whatever it takes.
- I'm on it. - Call me when you get it.
LEO: They were all murdered by someone
exploiting their underlying medical condition,
so a certain amount of pharmacological knowledge was necessary.
(MOBILE RINGS)
That's why we were certain it had to be
- a doctor or a nurse. - Yeah?
Beautiful.
Hang on a minute, Cat.
A pharmacologist might look...?
- They would have the knowledge. - Just say it. They might look...
Guilty.
Dr Naomi Silverlake is a pharmacologist.
She was in the hospital on the night and we can put her at the scene.
She's been looking after Nikki. I let her have the keys to her flat.
Cat, are you in your motor?
- I'm going over there. - What's the address?
Come on, Nikki. She must have switched her phone off.
Just switched it off.
(SIREN WAILS)
- Is Naomi here? - No.
You knew, didn't you?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Your husband never took those drugs.
The prescription wasn't for him, it was for Naomi.
Leave our family alone now.
Enough has been done and said.
Why did she want me to look?
- Leave us alone. - She knew what I'd find.
She loved her father, and Nigel loved her more than he loved me.
He would have done anything for her. Anything.
He tried to help her when she suffered so badly in medical school.
Depression is so hard to heal.
He was willing to let people believe he was depressed
to help her chances of success.
You know enough. Let it go.
He didn't kill anyone at the hospital, did he?
Was he protecting your daughter?
Did he commit suicide when he realised Naomi had murdered those patients?
He allowed people to believe that it was him?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Why did your husband kill himself?
He didn't.
He was a menace. He was shot.
Why did he do it?
He was evil.
Haven't you read the papers?
No...
(HORNS HONK)
(MOBILE RINGS)
Skip, there's no sign of any disturbance.
Well, there doesn't seem to be anyone in. It all seems OK.
I'll wait here.
(HORNS HONK)
Go up on the pavement.
- Go on. Go up on the pavement. - (MOBILE RINGS)
Hello?
OK. Yep. Thanks.
That was Skipper. Catina's already at the flat.
There's no sign of any disturbance. She's waiting for us there.
OK.
Come on, Nikki, switch on your phone.
(WOMAN GASPS)
(GASPS)
(GASPS) Naomi!
Oh!
Naomi...
My mother says...
...I try too hard.
Can you imagine?
Being criticised for trying too hard.
(GASPING AND MOANING)
We both want the world to be kinder, don't we?
Yes.
But it won't be.
It can't be, you see, because people are weak.
(MOBILE RINGS)
Cat, I'm outside. Where are you?
(GASPING FOR BREATH)
Cat!
I took their burden from them.
Cat!
She's not answering her phone.
That's what I want you to say... when people ask why.
I took their burden from them.
I was never going to hurt you.
We're very much alike, you and I.
I took their burden from them.
No!
- Which floor? - First.
You can't save me. Even my father couldn't save me.
I won't let you die.
Why? What's the point of me?
- Cat! - (MOANS)
I'll check the flat.
Nikki!
Harry! I need you!
Cat!
OK, I've got you.
- (MOANS) - I've got you, Cat!
- (GASPS FOR BREATH) - OK?
Cat!
Come on.
- Have you got her? - Yeah.
I've got you, Cat. OK.
- All right? - (COUGHING)
- I've got you. All right, Cat. - (WHEEZES)
I've got you. Come here. That's it. OK.
- Nothing's going to happen to you now. - (COUGHS)
All right. I've got you.
You're all right. Nothing's going to happen to you now.
- Hello. I need an ambulance. - I'm here now, eh?
(RASPS)
Here you go.
- Thanks. - No problem.
Scrubs for you.
Great. Thanks.
Did she say anything to you?
Yes. Lots of things.
Like?
"What's the point of me?" was memorable.
Julia's going to be fine.
- NIKKI: Naomi? - Surgeons have stopped the bleeding.
She's in critical care, under police guard.
Her solicitor will say she isn't fit to plead.
You should have let her bleed to death.
Save us all a lot of trouble, wouldn't it?
I've looked at what they have. We won't be able to resist it.
I've heard they've got a bed for her in the women's wing at Castleton.
Is that right?
That doesn't mean anything to you, does it?
That's where they have Jason Bodle.
WOMAN: Naomi!
Time to go in.
Do you know what I'd love to do to you?
Are you ready to start?
Yes.
