00:00:00To be continued...

00:00:30I don't know.

00:01:00Can that short scruffy man take off his hat?

00:01:19Do you see the man, Mrs. Stevenson?

00:01:30Take your time.

00:01:33Well, it's not unlike number four.

00:01:37But no, this isn't him.

00:01:40The man who bothered me was better looking than him.

00:01:43And he was dressed smarter.

00:01:44Yes, I am.

00:02:16What's going on?

00:02:41Well, thank you very much, sir. I needed that.

00:02:43You did fit the general description, Jack.

00:02:45Yeah. Not quite smart enough, by the sounds of it, though.

00:02:49I can't be too careful of these things.

00:02:50What do you mean? Touching up women or acquiring a better dress sense?

00:02:54Look, sir, I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea that there's some groper out there using my name to get his jollies.

00:03:00This is an indecent assault, Jack. Let's not make light of it.

00:03:03I'll ask Uniform to keep a particular eye on shopping centres and supermarkets for anyone looking shifty and dressed like you.

00:03:09Yeah, all right.

00:03:09Oi. Oi. Thank you very much, sir.

00:03:13Hello?

00:03:27Excuse me, madam. Detective Inspector Frost, Denton's CID. I wonder if I might have a word.

00:03:33Ah, you'll be back on the terraces in no time.

00:03:52No, no, Dad. But I missed out on the football trials. I had a good chance.

00:03:55Yeah, but once this operation's done, will there be 100%? A few months training, you'll be playing again. Better than ever. Isn't that right, Mum?

00:04:03First team, or I'll want to know why.

00:04:06Dr Gibson's just arrived.

00:04:08Good morning.

00:04:08Mm-hmm.

00:04:29Dr Redneck's here.

00:04:30Yes, send him in.

00:04:34Good morning, Dr Gibson.

00:04:37Dr Redneck.

00:04:38So, you're doing the Ingram boy. Mitral incompetence this morning?

00:04:42Yes, Doctor.

00:04:43I haven't seen the angiocardiographs.

00:04:45Well, usually it's not necessary for mitral...

00:04:47No one in my team is going into his chest without excluding other intercardiac anomalies. Make sure it's done.

00:04:58I need to see Jameson after theatre.

00:05:01And don't take no from on, sir.

00:05:05Oi.

00:05:06These are different, aren't they? Super sammies.

00:05:09Right, Maggie, give that teabag an extra squeeze. I want it nice and strong.

00:05:15I've been through an ordeal today, I have.

00:05:17Anyway, this blighter, you know, he only uses a warrant card to chat up women of a, you know, certain age.

00:05:25And then he says,

00:05:25My father taught me to play the piano like this, you know.

00:05:29Doesn't sound like you, Jim.

00:05:30No, it doesn't.

00:05:31All right.

00:05:32You can get these and don't forget the sandwiches.

00:05:34Well, I wouldn't mind him pretending to be me if he got lumbered with my gas bill as well.

00:06:03Well, there's none.

00:06:06Oh, my God.

00:06:10Did you get the plum and cheese and pickle as well?

00:06:12Mm-hmm.

00:06:13And?

00:06:14Mm-hmm.

00:06:15Mine tastes like the plum has let the horse have a go on it first.

00:06:19You should have tried the ham, Jack. Tasted like a dead rat.

00:06:21Well, it is a bit musty. Could be old cheddar.

00:06:27What do you mean old cheddar?

00:06:28It's not bad, though.

00:06:29It is old cheddar.

00:06:29Sorry, you can tell him, Jack.

00:06:31Nasty one, by the sounds of it.

00:06:32Can't be much more nasty than that sandwich, can it?

00:06:34Doctor, I want to observe today.

00:06:48I see.

00:06:49May I ask why?

00:06:50I understood you were happy with my work.

00:06:53It's just routine, Dr. Ratnick.

00:06:54I want to see that my team is functioning well together.

00:06:57Okay?

00:06:57Sorry.

00:06:59Sorry.

00:07:01Please, I want to know.

00:07:02I don't understand.

00:07:02I'm not a junior doctor.

00:07:03Oh, you could be the Queen's personal surgeon for all I care, Dr. Ratnick.

00:07:06It's my team.

00:07:08I will be in theatre with you today.

00:07:18Well, according to the track manager,

00:07:20they began to get an intermittent fault signal at the control box

00:07:23just after 11 o'clock last night.

00:07:25And it's taken them until now to discover it was a body.

00:07:29I don't know.

00:07:29They made a check at midnight.

00:07:30But there was nothing visible until someone came on shift

00:07:33to check the track in daylight.

00:07:35No ID yet, I suppose?

00:07:37No, no.

00:07:39All right.

00:07:41Pretty gruesome.

00:07:42She spread over a fair bit of track.

00:07:45Make sure you get all the bits, then, don't you?

00:07:47That's your problem.

00:07:50I'm a police surgeon, not a mortgage board waiter.

00:07:52Yes, yes, all right.

00:07:55So, we don't know whether she was a passenger or was a push.

00:08:03Whether she jumped.

00:08:06All right.

00:08:08Let's get on.

00:08:09You all right, son?

00:08:19Sorry, sir.

00:08:20That's all right.

00:08:21The first time is not the worst, I'm afraid.

00:08:24You'll just have to learn to deal with it.

00:08:26No shame in feeling like that.

00:08:28All right, you.

00:08:29Get him to the canteen.

00:08:30Give him a strong cup of tea, will you?

00:08:32Thanks, sir.

00:08:33All right.

00:08:33So, you reckon that she was hit by the intercity?

00:08:41Yes, the speed of trains is a different track.

00:08:43The 2200 from London came through at 25 past 11.

00:08:48It was running half an hour late.

00:08:50When it went into the cleaning sheds this morning, there were traces of blood and stuff on the engine.

00:08:54All right.

00:08:55So, she was in front of the train when she was hit.

00:08:58That means that she couldn't have fallen from a passenger door.

00:09:02But she could have jumped from that bridge.

00:09:05Tell me something.

00:09:06Would the driver have noticed anything if he'd hit something like a body?

00:09:10It probably felt a slight impact, but unless she was below the wheels, probably not.

00:09:15He would have just carried her along the tracks.

00:09:18All right.

00:09:19Come on.

00:09:22All right, you lot.

00:09:23Come on.

00:09:23It's none of our business.

00:09:24Inside.

00:09:26That wheel's set in their ears.

00:09:27Now, come on.

00:09:40If no one's told you, this is a no-smoking area.

00:10:03Do you do that at home, do you?

00:10:10Good boy.

00:10:17Come.

00:10:22Ah, Jack.

00:10:24Hmm.

00:10:25Well, we haven't got him yet, but we are working on him.

00:10:28Who?

00:10:29Hmm?

00:10:31Oh, we don't know who.

00:10:32If we did, we'd nick him.

00:10:34Oh, yes.

00:10:35You mean the imposter?

00:10:36Mm-hmm.

00:10:36None other.

00:10:37Mind you, there has been a bit of a nasty down at the railway yards this morning.

00:10:43Yes.

00:10:43Yes, I heard.

00:10:45Detective Sergeant Terence Reid.

00:10:48A shambolic career that has all the hallmarks of being a complete washout.

00:10:54Seems to have done a bit, though.

00:10:56He's been seconded to us because DS Jarvis has had to take his accumulated leave.

00:11:00Oh, yes.

00:11:01That's right.

00:11:01He's gone to Barbados.

00:11:03Anyway, what's this got to do with me?

00:11:05I'm assigning him to you, Jack.

00:11:07Ah, now, with due respect, sir, I've got enough on my plate without wet nursing and no hoper.

00:11:13Well, if he doesn't pull his weight, just tell me and I'll, um, well, I'll move him on.

00:11:19Oh.

00:11:21Very well.

00:11:24Oh, by the way, sir, anyone mention to you about the sandwiches in the canteen?

00:11:30No.

00:11:33Oh, well, they will, sir.

00:11:37They will.

00:11:45Oh, trick.

00:11:46File that, will you?

00:11:47Yeah.

00:11:47Oh, it's you.

00:11:58Well, you can cut that out for a start.

00:12:01Read, isn't it?

00:12:02Yes, Gough.

00:12:03Well, you'll learn that I don't like to be messed about.

00:12:06I also don't like to be interrupted when I'm thinking out loud.

00:12:09And I certainly didn't give up smoking so I can suck in my DS's filthy air.

00:12:14Is that clear?

00:12:15Crystal.

00:12:16Good.

00:12:17Right, now go and find George Toulon and get his notes on the railway death this morning.

00:12:21And I will meet you in the car park.

00:12:23All right, goodbye.

00:12:23Well, I don't want any idle chit-chat in there.

00:12:37She's been sniping at me for days.

00:12:39Sniping?

00:12:40Oh, well, you'd know all about that where you come from.

00:12:42Oh, yeah, she fits the role of assassin quite well.

00:12:47Has she got something against me?

00:12:49No.

00:12:50She treats everyone with contempt.

00:12:51Swab.

00:13:20Okay.

00:13:21I've got some bleeding.

00:13:23Can we lower blood pressure?

00:13:25Um, no.

00:13:28Retractor.

00:13:30I've got a significant hemorrhage here.

00:13:32I can't help that.

00:13:34Damn.

00:13:34Clamp.

00:13:35No!

00:13:37Move.

00:13:39Swab.

00:13:40More.

00:13:41More.

00:13:44Suction.

00:13:46Quickly!

00:13:47All right, apply pressure here.

00:13:55Yeah, come on.

00:14:04Well, I don't know.

00:14:05Something's not quite right.

00:14:07And I don't like mysteries.

00:14:08And I don't like mysteries.

00:14:09What's that, then?

00:14:10Well, she's been missing 24 hours and no one's reported it.

00:14:15And also, can't find her handbag.

00:14:18Another angle, gov.

00:14:19Yeah, is there?

00:14:21Well, she was assaulted on another train, pushed off, lay injured on the tracks.

00:14:25When the intercity gave her a freebie ride.

00:14:29A freebie ride?

00:14:31Haven't you got any sense of decorum?

00:14:34Not really, gov, no.

00:14:36If we had some more rolling stock, then we wouldn't have these problems.

00:14:41Let's think about it for a second, this handbag.

00:14:45Supposing she was struck by the train, like, down there.

00:14:49And we found what...

00:14:50Well, what was that thing that was like here?

00:14:53Well, then her handbag could be...

00:14:55knocked anywhere.

00:14:57What, you mean another train might snag her?

00:14:59Oh, yeah, exactly.

00:15:02That's a very...

00:15:03What's he saying?

00:15:08Oh, ignore him.

00:15:10Probably thinks we're trespassing.

00:15:22Police or not, you have to wear safety vests.

00:15:25Drivers can't see everything all the time.

00:15:27Yes, all right, all right.

00:15:28I appreciate that now, thank you.

00:15:29Yeah, well, next time, ask me first.

00:15:32Yes, all right, thank you, I will.

00:15:35Now, has there been another train to use this section of track this morning?

00:15:39Yes, a commuter train.

00:15:40It went into the sheds for cleaning and maintenance.

00:15:42How long does it take to turn it around?

00:15:44Well, they've only just started it.

00:15:46All right, it's still there, then.

00:15:47Of course it is.

00:15:49Well, I would like to see it.

00:15:53Ted Anderson's a foreman.

00:15:54I'll get him to meet you at the cleaning sheds.

00:15:59I'd like to thank you for, you know,

00:16:02what you did out there just now.

00:16:03Mm, oh, my God.

00:16:07This tea tastes worse than the diesel we get at the neck.

00:16:15If you don't interfere with the instruments here, you should know that.

00:16:18It's automatic.

00:16:19When I've operated before, I've had no instrument nets.

00:16:21And you don't clamp with unexpected bleeding.

00:16:24I would have thought a non-crushing clamp would have given you proximal control.

00:16:27Think again, Doctor.

00:16:28Clamping in a pool of blood can be ineffective and can damage adjacent structures.

00:16:32There were no anatomical structures we could have damaged.

00:16:36Revisit your basic surgical technique, Doctor.

00:16:39Compression, suction, suture.

00:16:43Just as when I was there, after all.

00:16:50I'd have clamped.

00:16:51I'd have to wear these.

00:17:06Well, we'll have to get underneath.

00:17:08Right.

00:17:09Have they finished working under there?

00:17:10No, no, no.

00:17:11Make this don't come in till after cleaning.

00:17:16Are we going to be all right?

00:17:18Yeah, yeah.

00:17:18I'll tell them you're under there.

00:17:19Be careful.

00:17:20Okay.

00:17:20Could you ask them to stop the steam clean as well?

00:17:23Yeah.

00:17:57Dabner?

00:17:59Yeah?

00:18:00There's someone up here, but I can't get it.

00:18:05It's snagged on something.

00:18:09I need some light up there.

00:18:12What, where?

00:18:13Up there.

00:18:14That's it.

00:18:15Go on.

00:18:16I've got it.

00:18:18Oh, Jesus.

00:18:21Look at that.

00:18:22Well done, Reed.

00:18:24I love it when I'm right.

00:18:37Woman on the railway track.

00:18:39Obviously a terrible impact.

00:18:41We've determined she'd been dead about eight hours.

00:18:44Blonde?

00:18:45Thirty-three.

00:18:46Size 14 dress.

00:18:47Name, Mrs. Sylvia Carter.

00:18:48Ah, you've been reading the canteen tea bags again.

00:18:52No, it's just that I found her handbag.

00:18:55She was a fairly good-looking woman.

00:18:58You know, money in the bank, decent enough bloke for her husband, nice hat.

00:19:02On the surface, I can't see any reason why she would want to kill herself.

00:19:07That's why I wanted to talk to you, Inspector.

00:19:10Her right hand was missing.

00:19:12Well, you said it was a terrible impact.

00:19:14Yes, but we found it.

00:19:16It might not have been severed by the train.

00:19:19Fairly crude amputation, though, so I'm not sure at this stage what did it.

00:19:23Meaning?

00:19:24It was recovered fifty yards back from where she was struck by the train.

00:19:28Back?

00:19:30You mean behind the impact area?

00:19:33Yes.

00:19:34Now, that doesn't sound like suicide to me.

00:19:37No, it doesn't.

00:19:39Doesn't it?

00:19:42Ah, there you are, sir. Just the man I wanted to see.

00:19:45Jack, it's about...

00:19:46I've had some anonymous complaints from the canteen.

00:19:49Oh, yes?

00:19:50Anyway, it's about the girl on the railway track, sir.

00:19:53An army marches on its stomach, Jack.

00:19:55And I like to think I play my part in keeping our troops happy.

00:19:57Yes, sir.

00:19:58But the truth is, I mean, those new sandwiches are bloody awful.

00:20:01What happened to the bakery man's begets?

00:20:03Super Sammy's sandwich service is far more cost efficient.

00:20:05Almost half in value.

00:20:07It'll trim thousands of our budget.

00:20:09Yeah, well, that's not all that needs to be trimmed.

00:20:11About the girl on the railway track.

00:20:14Well, what about her?

00:20:15Look, I don't think that she was killed by a train.

00:20:19How else?

00:20:20Well, I don't know, but I think that she could have been mutilated somewhere else

00:20:24and then thrown onto the railway track to make it look like an accident.

00:20:31Well, need I say, Jack, that as appalling as this is,

00:20:34until we have proof of a substantial criminal nature,

00:20:37our resources are extremely limited.

00:20:40What you're saying is down to me and Reid, is it?

00:20:43Yes.

00:20:44How are you getting on with Reid?

00:20:46All right, fine.

00:20:48In fact, he saved my baker this morning,

00:20:50and I don't mean in the canteen.

00:20:54All right.

00:20:55Oh, yeah, we found the dead woman's husband, Gov.

00:20:58Oh, good. Well done.

00:20:59But don't tell me I bet he's got an alibi tighter than Mullet's budget plan.

00:21:03Yeah, solid.

00:21:04One thing, she attended night school at the local education centre three times a week.

00:21:09What about last night?

00:21:10I don't know yet, gov.

00:21:11All right.

00:21:12You get over there and check that out.

00:21:14Oh, and remember to ask intelligent questions.

00:21:17They are teachers.

00:21:18Look, time and again, I or a member of my staff have to physically go down and get a patient's record

00:21:31because the computer's down again.

00:21:35It's surgical time wasted and it's putting people's lives at risk.

00:21:38We're addressing that.

00:21:40It's not good enough.

00:21:42You're stripping my staff and my resources.

00:21:44Major surgery is being neglected in favour of minor operations.

00:21:47We do our best with what we have.

00:21:50Minor operations that help you achieve waiting list standards.

00:21:54Everyone's affected.

00:21:55I'm under pressure to reach my targets.

00:21:57You're manipulating waiting lists.

00:21:59It's unethical.

00:22:00And the internal investigation into post-operative deaths is putting my team under scrutiny.

00:22:05My team!

00:22:06Look, I'm certain no portion of blame will be attached to you.

00:22:09I'm not going to allow you to undermine my unit's work any longer.

00:22:13I've discovered something I think you might find very interesting.

00:22:18You call me unethical?

00:22:19This is blackmail.

00:22:20You call me unethical?

00:22:21This is blackmail.

00:22:22You call me unethical?

00:22:23This is blackmail.

00:22:27It's going to look bad for the hospital.

00:22:28But especially you if this gets out.

00:22:29This goes this here.

00:22:30Come out to the house.

00:22:31This is blackmail.

00:22:32It's going to look bad for the hospital, but especially you if this gets out.

00:22:34This goes this here.

00:22:35Come out to the house.

00:22:36We'll talk you through.

00:22:37I'm sure we can resolve that.

00:22:38See you shortly.

00:22:39Bye.

00:22:40Bye.

00:22:41Bye.

00:22:42Bye.

00:22:43Bye.

00:22:44Bye.

00:22:45Bye.

00:22:46Bye.

00:22:47Bye.

00:22:48Bye.

00:22:49Bye.

00:22:50Bye.

00:22:51Bye.

00:22:52Bye.

00:22:53Bye.

00:22:54Bye.

00:22:55Bye.

00:22:57Bye.

00:22:58Bye.

00:22:59Bye.

00:23:00Bye.

00:23:01Bye.

00:23:02Bye.

00:23:03Ah, right, Rhys, where did you get on? At the education centre.

00:23:19She was definitely there last night.

00:23:22Mm-hm. What time did the class finish?

00:23:2410.30.

00:23:25And was she there till the end of the class?

00:23:27No, no, no. She always left by 10.

00:23:29She didn't like catching the last bus home.

00:23:31Oh, right.

00:23:33Well, well done. You deserve a pint.

00:23:37And just to show you what good governor I am, I'm buying.

00:23:42Oh, lend me a fiver. I'm a bit short.

00:23:46I don't know.

00:23:48Bright young woman, everything to live for.

00:23:51Who'd want to hurt her?

00:23:53Guess we got some nutter out there, Gav.

00:23:55Yeah, I know.

00:23:56You'd have to be a psychopath to do that to someone, wouldn't you?

00:23:59I don't know.

00:24:31Hello, Jimmy. Late shift.

00:24:46Sam, is everything all right?

00:24:49Yeah, yeah, he's doing fine.

00:24:51It's just that.

00:24:53About one of the fetid nurses said on the quiet there was a blip during the op.

00:24:56No-one said anything to me.

00:24:58He's absolutely fine.

00:25:01Look, you can stay a bit if you like.

00:25:04No, I can't. I'll get on tomorrow.

00:25:07Look, he'll be all right. We'll see.

00:25:09Cheers.

00:25:10Dr. Gibson, I heard there was a problem during my son's operation.

00:25:24Oh, who told you that?

00:25:28It was nothing serious.

00:25:31There was little unexpected bleeding, but really it was nothing.

00:25:34He came through with flying colors.

00:25:36You sure he's all right?

00:25:37Yes, I did the operation myself.

00:25:40No need. It's my job.

00:25:57All right.

00:25:59Good night, guys.

00:26:00Yeah, all right.

00:26:01Good night.

00:26:31Ingram, bed five!

00:27:01You've got ten.

00:27:11Pardon?

00:27:13Ten.

00:27:16No, no, the beans count as one.

00:27:18See?

00:27:20It's people like you that make a mockery of the rules in this country.

00:27:23Ah, yes, that may be so, madam, but you see, sometimes you do have to bend the rules if...

00:27:29Sir?

00:27:32Sir?

00:27:39Look, hey, do you mind I'm after someone?

00:27:41Look, listen, sir, let's not have any bother, sir.

00:27:43Can I ask you to come to the security area?

00:27:44No, you...

00:27:45I'm Detective Inspector Froth, Denton CID.

00:27:48Oh, I see.

00:27:50We've had word about you, sunshine.

00:27:52Do you think so, too?

00:27:55At least we're assured the supermarkets are taking our warning to heart.

00:27:58Yes, the only problem is I won't be able to shop anywhere until we get him.

00:28:04Imitation might very well be the sincerest form of flattery, Jack, but we do have to find a way of stopping him.

00:28:09Yeah, well, apart from me walking around with a placard saying I am not the Groper, I can't see what I can do.

00:28:17If he gains too much confidence, it could lead to something more unpleasant.

00:28:21No, no, I don't think that's his game.

00:28:24I mean, he's not forcing these women into anything, is he?

00:28:27He's talking them into it.

00:28:28And then when he, you know, goes up the gear, they squeal and he does a runner.

00:28:33Well, we'll just have to stay vigilant then, Jack.

00:28:38Yeah, all right.

00:28:41By the way, I haven't seen Reed this morning.

00:28:46No, he, um, he's busy.

00:28:50He's taking the train driver's statements.

00:28:52What is it?

00:29:04Jack, I am trying to keep this unofficial.

00:29:08Oh, my...

00:29:10All right, thanks.

00:29:21Right, what happened?

00:29:22One lady said he came in drunk, smashed the place up.

00:29:26He's in there on his own.

00:29:27No one else involved, sir.

00:29:28All right.

00:29:29Good lad, Prentice.

00:29:31Go down, find the landlady.

00:29:33Tell her everything will be fixed up.

00:29:35Sir, leave the rest of me, all right?

00:29:46I don't know.

00:30:16I don't know.

00:30:46I don't know.

00:30:52Hey.

00:30:53Here you are.

00:30:54Get that down here.

00:30:55And don't stay all day in there.

00:31:01You may think that by knocking me out of the way of that train yesterday, that it entitles

00:31:06you to some sort of privileges.

00:31:09No, Gov.

00:31:10I'm sorry.

00:31:14No.

00:31:15We do not watch the clock.

00:31:17We do not get paid the extra.

00:31:20But we do get to work on time, especially when the Governor is out on the streets of Denton

00:31:26chasing a Dolly the Sheep clone of himself.

00:31:32Now, if you're ready for a shift, we will continue to investigate the suspicious death of Mrs.

00:31:40Sylvia Carter.

00:31:45What is it?

00:31:46What is it?

00:31:47What is it?

00:31:48What is it?

00:31:49Shut the door.

00:31:50Where am I going?

00:31:51What am I going to do?

00:31:52What am I going to do?

00:31:53I want to know what is it.

00:31:54What is that?

00:31:56Oh, she's such a girl! I've heard it then!

00:31:58Come on! Come on!

00:32:00Say good things.

00:32:02What did she do once?

00:32:04He went into VTAC in ICU.

00:32:06We tried to save him. We did everything we could.

00:32:08She said she could!

00:32:10She killed my boy!

00:32:12I told you what she's mad!

00:32:14She killed my boy!

00:32:16She killed my boy!

00:32:24Hey!

00:32:30Where's that going?

00:32:32No, no, no, not there!

00:32:34Over there!

00:32:36Right. Paul Hobday.

00:32:38Yes?

00:32:40Detective Inspector Frost, Denton CID.

00:32:42I believe that you worked with Mrs. Sylvia Carter.

00:32:46That's right, yes.

00:32:48From what your supervisor tells us,

00:32:50you two basically ran this side of the operation.

00:32:52Italian tomato bread and mozzarella.

00:32:54She was in charge, yes.

00:32:56And she got on well with everyone?

00:32:58She was a star with Sylvia.

00:33:00Yeah, so everyone tells me.

00:33:02Ooh, turkey with cranberry sauce and apple.

00:33:06I tell you what, Mr. Hobday, do you mind if I buy one of these?

00:33:08Only I missed my breakfast this morning.

00:33:10On the house.

00:33:12Ah, well, that's very nice of you. Are you sure?

00:33:14They're out of date. They're going to be dumped anyway.

00:33:18She didn't have any problems at home?

00:33:20With Sean?

00:33:22No.

00:33:24He's a laptop. He'd do anything for her.

00:33:26Look, Inspector, I really don't know what to say.

00:33:30None of us here can believe she's dead.

00:33:34Did she have a locker here?

00:33:36Right.

00:33:52Thank you, Mr. Hobday.

00:33:54Right.

00:33:58Now, we know that that's her front door key.

00:34:02Now, let's see.

00:34:04This.

00:34:06That's the key.

00:34:08Cutting the lock.

00:34:10Well, there's nothing to get excited about in there, Guff.

00:34:28Right, well, that's two down. One to go.

00:34:32I'd really like to know what this key fits, though.

00:34:38All right, Peatley?

00:34:40Mr. Frost.

00:34:42It's been a while.

00:34:44Yeah, well, I don't get to dine out very much these days.

00:34:48Two cups of tea, please.

00:34:50What about a sticky bun, really?

00:34:51No, thanks.

00:34:52I was wondering if you'd heard of anybody doing a number on me.

00:34:58Put in your chain.

00:35:00Bit of a chancer, wouldn't you say?

00:35:02Not at all.

00:35:03I haven't heard.

00:35:04What about Rollo?

00:35:06I'll ask him.

00:35:08190.

00:35:09What, for a cuppa?

00:35:11For a mug.

00:35:41Oh.

00:35:42Pinkley makes tea that locks your kneecaps together.

00:35:47Which wouldn't do you any harm at the moment, by the looks of these.

00:35:53Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

00:35:55Yeah, well, with a bit of luck, we might be able to manage to keep it quiet.

00:36:00So, you're on methadone.

00:36:04I've also got a drink problem.

00:36:10Really?

00:36:11I would never have noticed.

00:36:13How long have you been on drug rehab?

00:36:16Twelve years.

00:36:17Haven't touched them since then.

00:36:20I usually manage to control the drinking.

00:36:23Sometimes I can't.

00:36:25I'll take a few sick days to sort myself out.

00:36:29At least you recognise that you've got a problem.

00:36:33As opposed to this sandwich.

00:36:38This isn't just a job for me, Mr Frost.

00:36:43No, nor me.

00:36:45So don't bring my career down with yours, you get me?

00:36:54I saw the medal, didn't you, Warren?

00:36:57Oh, right.

00:36:59You know, you don't get a military medal by playing on the swings in the park, do you?

00:37:07No, I keep it handy cos it helps me remember our lucky hand.

00:37:11Some of my mates were.

00:37:14Keeps a bit of dignity intact, you know.

00:37:17Gets me through.

00:37:18Gets me through.

00:37:22Where was it?

00:37:24Falkman's.

00:37:26Who were you with?

00:37:28Paris.

00:37:32In those days, battle fatigue was for wimps.

00:37:36Some of us just drank while we're drowning.

00:37:38All right, come on, let's get back to business.

00:37:55Now, I don't believe that our Mrs Carter was on her way to the bus station.

00:38:00I believe that she was coming back from somewhere else, wherever that was.

00:38:07No, I don't get you, Guff.

00:38:09Well, look.

00:38:11Let's look at the facts here.

00:38:13Where was she between 10pm, when she left the college, and 25 past 11 when she was hit by the train?

00:38:25Now, if...

00:38:29Now, if someone knew that she took that route across the railway track,

00:38:33it's an ideal place to commit a murder and make it look like an accident, isn't it?

00:38:40Mr Frost.

00:38:42Always a pleasure.

00:38:44Oh, Rolo.

00:38:45Oh, very nice.

00:38:46Very kind.

00:38:48Oh, this is my assistant, Terry Reid.

00:38:51Pinkley says you've been having a spot above her.

00:38:55It's not round here, I hope.

00:38:57No, it's the other side of Denton.

00:38:58Right.

00:38:59Well, I haven't heard no-one doing your mind down or nothing, Mr Frost,

00:39:02but I'll keep my ear to the ground, rest assured.

00:39:06You, Rolo, very kind.

00:39:07Oh, thank you.

00:39:08Very kind.

00:39:09I'll do what I can.

00:39:13Grasses.

00:39:14Well, Pinkley and Rolo.

00:39:16No, no, no, no.

00:39:18No, there was a rumble outside a gay club about 15 years ago.

00:39:24I happened to be passing, and there was Rolo, and he got a knife in the throat.

00:39:30Well, I was lucky I managed to save him from bleeding to death.

00:39:35What, they were queer bashing?

00:39:37No, no, no.

00:39:38The other way round.

00:39:40Pinkley and Rolo are an item.

00:39:42They've been together for 20 years.

00:39:44Well, Pinkley wasn't exactly overjoyed to see you.

00:39:47No, well, he wouldn't be, would he?

00:39:49He's jealous.

00:39:51Funny old world, isn't it?

00:39:55By the way, I always thought that cigarette packets contained a government health warning.

00:40:01Yours don't.

00:40:03I never noticed.

00:40:05I bought them in a pub over the weekend, with some bloke going around flogging them off cheap.

00:40:09You bought them in a pub?

00:40:11These are off the back of a lorry.

00:40:14Where are your brains?

00:40:16You're trying to self-destruct your career, you are, aren't you?

00:40:19Yeah, well, I'd had a few by then.

00:40:22I didn't even think about it.

00:40:24Well, you can think about it now.

00:40:26Because you can spend your weekend doing a pub crawl.

00:40:30And if you can do that without getting too pie-eyed,

00:40:33maybe you can find this purveyor of illegal tobacco,

00:40:37and nick him before someone else does.

00:40:40So, we're going to do that for you guys.

00:40:43We're gonna have a great day.

00:40:46We're gonna have to do that.

00:40:47We're gonna run.

00:40:49We're gonna have to do that for ourselves.

00:40:52We're gonna have to do that for you guys.

00:40:53Oh, hello, Jack.

00:41:20Jack, I heard your pervert friend had another good day.

00:41:26It's all in here somewhere. It's only a matter of time.

00:41:29Yeah, well, they say perversion's all in the mind.

00:41:33Listen, Ernie, Detective Sergeant Reid.

00:41:39Now, I've seen his service record.

00:41:41I'd like to have a look at his military background.

00:41:43Oh, come on, Jack, not without authorisation. You know that.

00:41:46I want this done on the QT, so just keep it to yourself, will you?

00:41:52There's no rush.

00:41:54Good.

00:41:55Monday will be fine.

00:41:57Today's Friday.

00:41:59I know what the days of the week are.

00:42:01Good morning.

00:42:18Good morning.

00:42:56I'm sorry it's been another year.

00:43:26How was your weekend, Gav?

00:43:34Terrible.

00:43:36The kitchen is a war zone.

00:43:38My bedroom is a magnolia jungle.

00:43:42And to top it all, the painters build a gallon of white paint in the toilet.

00:43:47Slept well, though.

00:43:48The fumes saw to that.

00:43:50Well, how was your weekend?

00:44:00Well, I didn't find the bloke probably in the fags, but I will.

00:44:03Good.

00:44:04Now, I found something very interesting in Sylvia Carter's checkbook.

00:44:08Have you had breakfast yet?

00:44:09No, God.

00:44:10Which way?

00:44:10Straight ahead.

00:44:11Good.

00:44:11Neither have I.

00:44:12I could kill for an egg sarm.

00:44:14Hey, that's a bit of luck.

00:44:17Go on, get behind him.

00:44:18Go on.

00:44:18Give it some welly.

00:44:19Oh, my God.

00:44:28Oh, my God.

00:44:41Is this where we're supposed to be going?

00:44:52No, no, no, no. Just I thought it might be interesting.

00:44:55It's been stinking since yesterday morning.

00:44:59Don't you lot work weekends? We found yesterday.

00:45:02And this morning, that's health hazard we consume.

00:45:05Well, good morning, sir.

00:45:05Good morning. Well, what's occurring?

00:45:07The yard manager hasn't got any keys for this.

00:45:09Oh, dear.

00:45:11It's a bit ripe, isn't it?

00:45:13Are you the health inspector? This is disgusting, this is.

00:45:18Quite right, madam. She's right.

00:45:20Well, come on, then.

00:45:22Break the lock off. Let's have a look, see what's inside.

00:45:25It's a refrigeration truck or something, isn't it?

00:45:28Not anymore, it's not.

00:45:30That's been defrosted in the last couple of days.

00:45:32And I thought my fridge at home was bad enough.

00:45:35Probably a supermarket's weak supply of meat in there.

00:45:40Oh, dear.

00:45:41No pork chops today, girls.

00:45:43Keep me lucky. Fish fingers more like that.

00:45:46Sir.

00:45:51Oh, dear.

00:45:52I'd keep quiet about this if I were you, especially in front of that lot.

00:45:59This is hospital waste due for incineration.

00:46:02Someone's made a cock-up.

00:46:04What do you want us to do?

00:46:06Stay upwind, is my advice.

00:46:08But what I want you to do is to get a hold of the hospital,

00:46:11find out who the sloppy lot was that didn't deliver this to the incinerator.

00:46:15Get him out of here.

00:46:17Right, let's go and get ourselves an egg sandwich and find our way to Hedley Street.

00:46:24Which is where?

00:46:25Obviously at the railway sheds.

00:46:26Now, in her cheque book, she's got four stubs that are monthly payments of 200 quid.

00:46:39Well, they're not the mortgage, then?

00:46:40No, they're not the mortgage.

00:46:42Turns out that she's been renting a flat from Stenwood Property Services.

00:46:47That?

00:46:48Now, why would she be wanting to rent a flat?

00:46:53Okay, number three.

00:47:23All right?

00:47:33Yeah.

00:47:53It's very tidy, Gav.

00:48:12There's a double bed in there.

00:48:13It's made up, but it's been used.

00:48:16Nothing in the wardrobe.

00:48:17A couple of towels on the bed.

00:48:20Well, she was tidy, our Mrs Carter.

00:48:23I think she needed somewhere that was quiet and unobtrusive for her goings-on.

00:48:30Stock quantities.

00:48:32Bills are laden.

00:48:34Return stock.

00:48:36Delivery schedules.

00:48:37Oh.

00:48:38This explains a lot.

00:48:41So, she comes from the ninth school.

00:48:44Across the railway tracks.

00:48:45A little bit of anky-panky.

00:48:47Back across the railway tracks.

00:48:49Gutches a bus.

00:48:50Then it says,

00:48:50Hello, darling, I'm home.

00:48:52It's Eric Hothday.

00:48:54Well, I'll buy you a curry and a pint if you're wrong, and I don't make a wager like that without due consideration.

00:49:00Well, she must have been making a short cut from here somewhere.

00:49:13Yes, Rhys?

00:49:15Yes, Superintendent.

00:49:19Yeah.

00:49:20Yeah, he's right here.

00:49:21Yeah.

00:49:21Jack, he's an old friend, he's concerned, and he doesn't want any publicity for the hospital.

00:49:45Yeah, all right, sir.

00:49:47I'll...

00:49:47I'll go on my way back.

00:49:49What's his name?

00:49:51Mr. Bennett.

00:49:53All right, thank you very much.

00:49:54All right.

00:49:56Superintendent Mullet wants to do a favour for a consultant surgeon friend of his at Denton General.

00:50:02Maybe he's missing some body parts.

00:50:07That would be a coincidence, wouldn't it?

00:50:10Listen, I'll tell you what I want you to do.

00:50:12I want you to drop me off at the hospital, all right?

00:50:14Then go back to Denton.

00:50:16Find out all you can about this hob day.

00:50:18Then come and pick me up in, what, say, an hour's time.

00:50:22That would show willing, shouldn't it?

00:50:23All right.

00:50:24All right.

00:50:24I can't offer you coffee, I'm afraid.

00:50:28I'm operating in an hour.

00:50:29No good having a full bladder.

00:50:32Coffee's a diuretic.

00:50:34Did you know that?

00:50:35No, no, I didn't, actually.

00:50:38Oh, this is just a courtesy call, really, sir.

00:50:40Mr. Mullet asked me to pop round.

00:50:43I expect it's about the clinical waste, is it?

00:50:46The body parts?

00:50:47What are you talking about body parts?

00:50:49I asked Mullet for some advice because a surgical colleague of mine,

00:50:53Helena Gibson, didn't turn up for lunch on Sunday.

00:50:58Sunday lunch.

00:51:01Well, I'm sorry, Dr. Ben...

00:51:03Mr. Bennett.

00:51:06I'm afraid I don't understand.

00:51:08Well, she's not here.

00:51:10She's not at home.

00:51:11Her car's in her parking space.

00:51:13Where is she?

00:51:14She's not the type to go off on a whim.

00:51:17I see.

00:51:17Well, I'll fill in a missing persons report.

00:51:21Well, I could have done that.

00:51:23Mullet said you would look into it.

00:51:27I see.

00:51:29See, people don't realise just how complex cardiac surgery has become.

00:51:33It's tremendously stressful on surgeons.

00:51:35And she carried the whole thing on her shoulders.

00:51:37I see, yes, of course.

00:51:40Was she under a lot of pressure?

00:51:41Well, of course.

00:51:43Not that that would get her much sympathy from anybody around here.

00:51:46It really was her.

00:51:47Well, she's a stickler for detail.

00:51:49She doesn't suffer fools gladly.

00:51:51And I respect her.

00:51:53Are you trying to tell me that she isn't liked?

00:51:58Except me and my wife.

00:52:00We quite like her.

00:52:02Anyway, as I say, she's under a lot of pressure.

00:52:04And I'm worried about her.

00:52:06My secretary will give you the names of a surgical team.

00:52:08They might know something.

00:52:09Right.

00:52:09If you could, uh, uh, it, no, it, I...

00:52:13God, I hate hospitals.

00:52:19Well, she was here on Saturday morning.

00:52:21You saw her?

00:52:22No, no, I was at a seminar all day.

00:52:25Look, see?

00:52:26Here's her signature, subscribing medication for a patient.

00:52:29Oh, yes.

00:52:30Right, I see.

00:52:32Have you noticed anything unusual about her the last few days?

00:52:36Her behaviour?

00:52:37Anything she might have said?

00:52:38She had a very heavy workload.

00:52:42Resources are not what they should be.

00:52:43No.

00:52:44But I like her.

00:52:45She gave me the opportunity to work here.

00:52:48I see.

00:52:48All right.

00:52:49Well, thank you very much.

00:52:55There was one thing.

00:52:57Yes, what was that?

00:52:59Perhaps I shouldn't mention this.

00:53:01No, no, perhaps you should.

00:53:03A man, Ingram, his son died.

00:53:07He was violent here in the ward.

00:53:09He blamed her for his death.

00:53:12Ingram, you said.

00:53:14Well, did he threaten her?

00:53:15No, no, she wasn't here.

00:53:18I think it was only because he was so upset for the death of his boy.

00:53:21It's understandable.

00:53:23Yeah, I think it probably was.

00:53:28I'm a clinical assistant.

00:53:30She's a consulting surgeon.

00:53:32She said, jump, I asked through how many hoops.

00:53:34An awful woman.

00:53:35She threw tantrums and instruments all the time.

00:53:38A brilliant surgeon, though.

00:53:42Did anyone like her?

00:53:45Not that I can think of.

00:53:47Who reported her missing?

00:53:49Um, what's her name?

00:53:51Bennett.

00:53:52Well, he's a bit of an old woman, is our Roger.

00:53:55Still.

00:53:56You never know these days.

00:53:59All this pressure.

00:54:01Did she have had a breakdown?

00:54:03You've got to be joking.

00:54:05Well, could she have gone AWOL?

00:54:07Something like Benadol, whatever.

00:54:09Oh, no, she never went away.

00:54:11You can't play God when you're on your holidays, Inspector.

00:54:16Right.

00:54:18Sorry I'm late, Guff.

00:54:46Got caught in traffic.

00:54:48Yeah, it's all right.

00:55:02How'd they explain the missing body part, sir?

00:55:05No, it was nothing like that.

00:55:06Apparently, some doctor's done a bunk.

00:55:10Can't say a blamer working with that lot.

00:55:12Oh, blimey.

00:55:14Talk about the caring profession.

00:55:21Go right.

00:55:22Pull in somewhere around here.

00:55:35Yeah.

00:55:36I do.

00:55:39Will you?

00:55:40Excuse me, is this the incinerary?

00:55:49It will be, when I've fixed it.

00:55:51The kiln's too old.

00:55:53You get the refractory breaking off.

00:55:54Takes days to cool it down.

00:55:56When did this break down?

00:55:57Friday.

00:55:58But don't blame me.

00:55:59If they spent more on maintenance, it'd behave.

00:56:02Every month it is now.

00:56:03Can't go on, I'll tell you that.

00:56:04What's the name of the company that picked up the waste?

00:56:07That's Colby's, that is.

00:56:08Colby's.

00:56:09Yeah, they're out on the industrial estate.

00:56:11If you ask me, they should give them the contract permanent and shut this relic down.

00:56:16When did they do the pick-up?

00:56:18That was on Saturday.

00:56:19Saturday.

00:56:21Thank you very much.

00:56:24Colby's on the industrial estate.

00:56:26Double quick time.

00:56:29Coincidences like this, I do not like.

00:56:34Oh, we had a complete cock-up over the weekend.

00:57:02Three trucks were out of action.

00:57:03We had to use a subcontractor.

00:57:05And they're the ones who did the pick-up at Denton General?

00:57:08That's right.

00:57:09Those idiots made a total mess of things.

00:57:11They left the damn truck in the yard over the weekend.

00:57:14Have you burnt the waste from Denton General yet?

00:57:21The first one's just gone up now.

00:57:25Well, shut it down.

00:57:27What, now?

00:57:28Yes, now.

00:57:29Now.

00:57:33I'm impounding all of this lot.

00:57:37You can't expect a team of police officers to inspect every bag of, well, of clinical waste

00:57:43is the correct expression, I do believe, sir.

00:57:45Besides, I haven't got the resources.

00:57:47And there's absolutely no proof that Dr. Gibson's been murdered.

00:57:49It's pure speculation.

00:57:50No, but if she has been murdered, I can't think of a neater way to dispose of the body.

00:57:55Can you, sir?

00:57:57Time is of the essence.

00:58:00The press will have a field, eh?

00:58:03We can't let the barbarians at the gates hear about this.

00:58:08You've got to hold them off, sir.

00:58:10They'll crucify us if they sniff this out.

00:58:12They certainly will if they stand down wind long enough.

00:58:14Look, sir, if I'm wrong, there's no harm done.

00:58:19I'm just an overzealous policeman.

00:58:20What if you're right?

00:58:22Well.

00:58:23No, you'd better get on with it.

00:58:25All right.

00:58:25And I'll speak to County.

00:58:27See if they can give us someone to handle the press.

00:58:29All right.

00:58:30Thank you, sir.

00:58:31Thank you, sir.

00:58:44Perfect timing.

00:59:00I'm dying for a cuppa.

00:59:02Really do the honours, really.

00:59:04Well, Mr Hobday,

00:59:05I found something out about our Mrs Sylvia Carter.

00:59:09I don't think you can just barge in here.

00:59:10Oh, yes, I can.

00:59:10Because I think she was murdered.

00:59:15You what?

00:59:16Yes.

00:59:17She may have been at college studying bookkeeping and management,

00:59:21but I think she was doing a bit of Chinese on the side.

00:59:25You know what I mean?

00:59:27Shanghai accounting.

00:59:29Juggling the books.

00:59:32And another thing.

00:59:33This is a very nice sandwich.

00:59:37Not like the mouldy old stuff you tried to give me the other day.

00:59:40Or the stuff that you flog on to private caterers

00:59:43for a bit on the side.

00:59:45I don't know what you're on about.

00:59:46Oh, yes, you do.

00:59:48What happened, eh?

00:59:49You get greedy?

00:59:51She catch you trying to take more than your fair share?

00:59:54Or didn't she want to sleep with you anymore?

00:59:57Is that why you clovered her?

00:59:58You're making all this up.

01:00:00We found the rooms she used.

01:00:02What rooms?

01:00:03Yes.

01:00:03You two had a bit going together, didn't you?

01:00:10Huh?

01:00:12She couldn't have done all this juggling on her own.

01:00:16What, you do have an argument, do you?

01:00:17Hmm?

01:00:19You lose your egg.

01:00:21What, you do wallop her?

01:00:23Then leave her on the railway track.

01:00:25Oh, no!

01:00:25Yes, yes, Mr Hobday!

01:00:29I think that you murdered her.

01:00:30And I...

01:00:31I did not kill her!

01:00:33Now, I don't know anything about these rooms you mentioned.

01:00:38All right, look.

01:00:40I was in on it with her.

01:00:43We sidelined Oldstock to private companies.

01:00:45It was her idea.

01:00:46Get your coat.

01:00:56All right.

01:00:58All right.

01:01:01I did fancy her.

01:01:04But a couple of months ago,

01:01:05some bruiser had a go at me.

01:01:08Taught me to stay clear of her.

01:01:10Well, I kept it strictly business after that.

01:01:13Oh, yeah.

01:01:14Why would he do that?

01:01:16Well, it wasn't because he didn't like the catering.

01:01:19She was having an affair with him.

01:01:22With who?

01:01:25All right, good, bud.

01:01:26All right, good, good.

01:01:27All right.

01:01:46Get out of the way!

01:01:57Get out of the way!

01:02:11Come on, give it up, Anderson.

01:02:23Come on, give it up, Anderson.

01:02:24We don't want any more fuss, do we?

01:02:35I couldn't do nothing.

01:02:36I knew she was dead.

01:02:45But I couldn't let on.

01:02:47I wanted to break it off half a dozen times.

01:02:54But I just couldn't.

01:02:59And I panicked.

01:03:00I didn't know what to do.

01:03:01So you came to work as usual the day after you killed her.

01:03:05It's pretty cold-blooded, isn't it?

01:03:10Not much panic there.

01:03:11I didn't kill her.

01:03:13Come on, Anderson.

01:03:14We checked.

01:03:16When she went to college, you told your wife you were working extra half shifts, supposedly

01:03:20finishing at midnight, so no one's the wiser.

01:03:22She comes out of college, you meet her, you take a shortcut over the tracks to the flat

01:03:27she had.

01:03:28Yeah, yeah.

01:03:29I admit that.

01:03:31So you knew she was dead, but you didn't kill her.

01:03:35Oh, come on, pull the other one.

01:03:37I couldn't say anything.

01:03:41If my wife found out, she'd take the kids.

01:03:43I love my kids.

01:03:45And my wife.

01:03:48It's just a bit on the side, that's all.

01:03:50Yes.

01:03:54PC Heaton has entered the room at, er, 1721, yes?

01:03:59We're back the contents of his locker, sir.

01:04:01Do you want us to go to his house now?

01:04:03Oh, God, no.

01:04:04No, don't.

01:04:05Please.

01:04:12When we found her hand, it had residual stains of a cleaning agent on it.

01:04:20You know?

01:04:23The sort mechanics use to get grease off their hands.

01:04:32You killed her, didn't you?

01:04:34Yes.

01:04:35Yes, you did.

01:04:38Now, just tell us how it happened.

01:04:40I...

01:04:41I...

01:04:45I thought we were safe.

01:04:50We've gone that way dozens of times.

01:04:52I see.

01:04:58Short cut after a cosy bit of leg over.

01:05:03But on this Wednesday night,

01:05:06the train was running half an hour late.

01:05:11Never even heard it.

01:05:14Not right away.

01:05:15And then it came out of the dark and hit her.

01:05:23They switched the points, cos it was running late.

01:05:26We was on the wrong tracks.

01:05:29What happened so fast?

01:05:30We were confused.

01:05:34When it hit her...

01:05:35I was still holding her hand.

01:05:46And I just ran and ran.

01:05:49And then I saw...

01:05:51what I was holding.

01:05:56And I just chucked it.

01:05:57My wife will go spare.

01:06:04She'll take the kids and everything when she finds her.

01:06:11I'm sorry.

01:06:15I'm so sorry.

01:06:24All right.

01:06:25Look after him, will you?

01:06:26Right, sir.

01:06:28Oh.

01:06:30There was no forensic on Sylvia Carter's hand.

01:06:33No, no.

01:06:34There could have been.

01:06:35He's not to know that.

01:06:39I believe a full statement has been taken

01:06:41regarding the death of that unfortunate woman

01:06:42on the railway tracks.

01:06:44Yes, sir.

01:06:45Terrible accident.

01:06:46Not only was this Anderson having an affair

01:06:48with another man's wife who died,

01:06:51now he has to face her husband

01:06:52as well as his own family.

01:06:56It's appalling.

01:06:56Mind you, there is one good thing

01:07:01that's come out of all this, sir.

01:07:03Super Sammy's soggy sarnies are no more.

01:07:06I reckon that the canteen is even now

01:07:08restocking with the bakery man's baguette.

01:07:11A superior class of sustenance, if I may say.

01:07:14It just goes to show you, sir.

01:07:21Taking a short cart doesn't always pay off.

01:07:24Come.

01:07:28Ah, excuse me, miss.

01:07:30Are you the new catering supplier?

01:07:32You know, come to save the troops?

01:07:33Jack, this is Miss Redmond.

01:07:36I think Presley is an officer from county.

01:07:37You must be Detective Inspector Frost.

01:07:39Yes.

01:07:40Help.

01:07:44Ready when you are, Superintendent.

01:07:45Jack, it's Forensic.

01:07:48They've got something to show us.

01:07:54Over here.

01:07:58It was buried under a dozen waste-filled bags.

01:08:02All right, come on.

01:08:03Let's get it out of there.

01:08:04Come on, then.

01:08:10Tip it, tip it.

01:08:22All right, well, somebody open it.

01:08:24I'm not here for the good of my health.

01:08:28Oh, come on, then.

01:08:34Well, sir, unless I'm very much mistaken,

01:08:44this is our missing surgeon,

01:08:47Dr. Helena Gibson.

01:08:49We can't keep this from the press.

01:08:51Sir,

01:08:52if the killer finds out that the body hasn't been destroyed,

01:08:57he'll do a runner.

01:08:58We'll never find him.

01:08:59But if we keep this as a missing person inquiry,

01:09:02we've still got a chance to draw him out.

01:09:07I agree.

01:09:08Thank you, sir.

01:09:17It's good, aren't you, Gav?

01:09:18She was almost toast.

01:09:19Yeah, well, it's a start.

01:09:22I'll tell you one thing.

01:09:23I bet it's a long time before Superintendent Mullet

01:09:26has a home barbecue again.

01:09:29Blow some of that my way, will you?

01:09:30Oh, thanks for having us.

01:09:42Oh, my God.

01:09:43Oh, dear, oh, dear.

01:10:04Oh, fuck.

01:10:07Crying out loud.

01:10:08I don't believe it.

01:10:09I don't believe it.

01:10:21Ow.

01:10:22Ow.

01:10:27We are concerned for the well-being of Dr. Gibson

01:10:30and are seeking help from any member of the public

01:10:32who might be able to assist in our inquiries.

01:10:34Oh, my God.

01:10:35This brilliant doctor was a member of a fine team

01:10:37of surgeons at Denton General.

01:10:39We believe she was on duty on Saturday morning

01:10:42and concern was first raised when she failed to turn up

01:10:44for a private engagement.

01:10:46God, this could make a mess, I think.

01:10:48Our preliminary inquiries indicate...

01:10:50She was never here.

01:10:52Understand?

01:10:54Don't say a word.

01:10:55Naturally, we and, indeed, her colleagues

01:10:57trust that she has not suffered any unfortunate mishap.

01:11:01We are currently making vigorous efforts

01:11:03to determine that she's not been involved

01:11:04in an accident elsewhere

01:11:05which might have left her unconscious

01:11:07and perhaps unidentified in another region's hospital.

01:11:12We are confident that with your, that is, the public's help,

01:11:16we will be able to put together a complete picture
