00:00Finish up here as quick as you can. Drug overdose coming in.
00:30Unconscious because he's got no idea of what he's thinking.
00:34What?
00:53Is something wrong?
00:55No, it's nothing.
01:00OK, what have we got?
01:02Open dose.
01:03The kid's signed up and they came home from school.
01:05OK.
01:06You hear me?
01:08GCS3, check pulse BP and intubate.
01:15Move it, Santa, will you?
01:23Hi.
01:27You OK?
01:31I heard that woman died.
01:35The overdose.
01:43Sandra, come here, you've got one.
01:45Come here, you've got one.
02:00Well, how was the day?
02:03Maybe you don't want to talk about it.
02:07You're dead right, I don't.
02:09Yeah?
02:11All right then, you can come round.
02:12But it won't do any good, do you realise that?
02:16Yeah?
02:17All right then, you can come round.
02:19But it won't do any good, do you realise that?
02:22All right then, you can come round.
02:23All right then, you can come round.
02:24But it won't do any good, do you realise that?
02:25I'll do any good, do you realise that?
02:26I'm not going round.
02:27I'm not going round.
02:28I'm not going round.
02:29I'm not going round.
02:30I'm not going round.
02:31You realise that?
02:32You realise that once we saw your face we CANYOT
02:34Wales
02:36It's a rat SRE-RW lava
02:39I'm not going round.
02:40Our bodies were knocked down.
02:42There's no inflammation at school and I ask.
02:43We'll be right back in school.
02:44There are status quo down there.
02:45Eran in mother, there is another good man.
02:47It's a lot of people boil our bodies.
02:49And they gave major victories
02:50It's like there's nothing well.
02:54I change this KNOW you do and I treat them.
02:57And you're a god rationally.
02:58What do you want?
03:11Look, I'm busy. I don't have time to sti-
03:14Is that on?
03:16What are you playing at?
03:18Hey, you can't just barge in here like that!
03:21Clean the door!
03:28I mean, I'm still struggling to get through last week's bunk and the top floor keep firing more stuff into my tray.
03:38There's nobody up there realise we're choking on red tape.
03:41Well, as my father used to say, rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance are wise, mate.
03:51Death occurred sometime yesterday evening, say between half seven and half nine.
03:55She was stabbed once in the back with a blade of some kind.
03:58Quite possibly one of those.
04:01No sign of a struggle.
04:03Aunt Sarah Tacker suddenly grabbed the knife and then went for her as she was turning away.
04:06Who found her?
04:07Eh, a friend. She was the neighbour across the way.
04:10Robbie got on to Jackie. Tell her I won't have a shirt over here pronto.
04:12Morning, Sheila.
04:34I don't usually see you coming out to this kind of case.
04:36What, you mean another heroin overdose?
04:37Yeah, well, the thing is...
04:39Oh, excuse me.
04:42Reid?
04:43Yep, hello, Robbie.
04:46Okay.
04:48Yep, we'll be there in ten minutes?
04:49Yep.
04:51Sorry, Sheila. I have to rush. Catch you later.
04:53Okay, see you.
04:58Who's that?
05:00Danny Smith.
05:02Local dealer.
05:03Just lost another customer.
05:04Don't suppose he's worried.
05:23Boss, she must have been inspecting company.
05:25Oh, you don't get this stuff for $1.99 on Asda.
05:37What was the name of the pal that found her?
05:39Eh, Karen Redpath.
05:41I banged on the door, but there was no answer.
05:44So I looked through the kitchen window.
05:46I could see her lying on the floor, and I screamed, and...
05:49that's when the neighbour came running out.
05:50She seemed to be expecting a visitor last night.
05:55Would you have any idea who?
05:56No, I really couldn't say.
05:59I've only worked with her for about six months
06:01since she got transferred to A&E.
06:04I think she liked to keep herself to herself.
06:07Never really talked about anything much except work.
06:09And how about her family?
06:11We'll need to let them know.
06:12Her parents are both dead, she said.
06:15Apart from my brother in Canada, she was...
06:16on her own.
06:18Do I detect signs of a hangover?
06:23No.
06:25More like a dose of the flu coming on.
06:27How you doing, Jackie?
06:28Hi, Alex.
06:29So what have I got here?
06:30Here.
06:48Right, everybody up to speed.
06:55Okay, Jackie.
06:56I want you and Stuart to concentrate on what this place has got to tell us.
06:59Make sure your uniform, search the area for the murder weapon,
07:01have an order with the neighbour across the way,
07:02see if you can get at him.
07:03Plus, phone records, last on movements, all that stuff.
07:06So where are we off to?
07:08On to the hospital.
07:10I'll bet you it's a boyfriend.
07:11Someone she pushed too far.
07:13Save it for the bookies, Robbie.
07:14This is not a game you bet on.
07:15To be honest, I do not like it that much at all.
07:45Does that make me a suspect?
07:47What was the problem?
07:49Oh, that night I broke a glass.
07:50Cut my hand really badly.
07:52Blood all over the place.
07:53So I think Sandra's a nurse.
07:55She'll know what to do.
07:56Do you know what she said when I went to her door?
07:58She was busy.
07:59And besides, she got enough of that out of her work.
08:02So not the sympathetic type?
08:03No.
08:06Wow.
08:07Nearly 1,200 quid.
08:12It was probably more before she bought those designer clothes.
08:14How could a nurse make all that?
08:16Some other job on the side?
08:18I'll come off it, Stuart.
08:19If she found something that paid as well as that,
08:21why keep on her day job?
08:23Anything else?
08:24I checked the phone records.
08:25No sign of her mobile.
08:26But she made a lot of calls to a local taxi service.
08:29Better bring the boss up to speed.
08:30How much money?
08:37Get round to the taxi service.
08:38Keep me posted.
08:56Come on, Jean.
08:57She was upset.
08:59What did you expect me to do, eh?
09:00Tell her she was being a wimp.
09:02Especially when she just said she'd rather stay here
09:04and keep herself busy.
09:05Dr Gillespie, I'm DCI.
09:07But this is Inspector Ross.
09:09We know you must be busy, but we do need to talk to you.
09:11Yeah, I've been expecting you.
09:12I'll leave you to it.
09:14Mrs Gillespie?
09:15Yes.
09:16I run the administration for this part of the hospital.
09:18Really?
09:19That must get a bit tricky at times.
09:20Opposite sides of the fence and all that.
09:22Well, the secret is not to take work home with you.
09:29Terrible news about Sandra.
09:30Absolutely terrible.
09:33It still hasn't sunk in yet.
09:35I see Karen's been spreading the want.
09:44Aye, she's a regular customer.
09:46And one of your drivers took her home from work last night?
09:49Aye, Jim Campbell.
09:50Where is he now?
09:51He's out on a job.
09:52Can you call him in?
09:53Aye.
09:54It's best not to mention with the police.
09:56OK, I'll do my best to get it finished by the end of the day, but the odd bit of patient
10:03care might get in the road.
10:05Oh, let's not start that again.
10:07Look, we need to monitor levels of drug expenditure, and this is the best way to do it.
10:11Tom, the police need to look in Sandra's locker.
10:13Can you show them?
10:14Aye, sure.
10:20What was that you were talking to Mrs. Gillespie about?
10:23Not record keeping, that's all.
10:25I wouldn't mind so much, but it's less than a year since Adam Gillespie and I set up the
10:28new pharmacy system.
10:29And management wanted to change it back again?
10:31Seems like Jean's decided she does.
10:33Boss, there's a letter inside.
10:37So how'd you get on with Sandra and Mr. Ballantyne?
10:40OK, I suppose.
10:44Was there a problem?
10:46I'm not saying she wasn't good at her job, but you might as well hear it now.
10:52She and I had a big fight a couple of weeks ago.
10:55She put in a complaint to the management, and as you can see, I'm not exactly popular with
10:59them anyway.
11:00Now, what was the fight about?
11:02A wee while ago, we had an outbreak of MRSA in here.
11:04The superbug.
11:06You probably read about it.
11:07Some folk nearly died.
11:09Anyway, there was an inquiry to find out where it came from, and it turned out to be the
11:12equipment hadn't been properly sterilised.
11:14And Sandra was responsible?
11:16Yeah.
11:17Yeah, I thought so.
11:18I couldn't prove anything, so I kept quiet.
11:21Then one day she argued with me about something, and I got mad and shot my mouth off in front of
11:27half of the A&E staff.
11:29Against the rules, big mistake.
11:32So what happens to this complaint against you now?
11:35It's dropped, I suppose.
11:36Come in, Jim.
11:41I need to talk to you straight away.
11:45I'm sure you're seeing me.
11:48I've got a couple of people here when I see you.
11:50Mr. Campbell, this is Detective Sergeant Wheat.
12:01We think you may be able to help us with an investigation, and we really would like...
12:04How long since we put out the circulation on this guy, Campbell?
12:15Last night, sir.
12:28All right, we'll get back to him.
12:30Any sign of the murder weapon?
12:31No.
12:32All right, two things to bear in mind.
12:34One, there was a lot of cash found in the flat that needs to be explained.
12:38How did she get it?
12:38Where did she get it from?
12:39Now, maybe that ties up with the second thing, which is, there seems to have been some kind
12:43of mystery man in her life.
12:45Robbie.
12:46No, wasn't me, boss.
12:49No, wait.
12:50Sandra had made a booking for herself and someone else next weekend at an expensive resort up
12:54north.
12:55She'd, uh...
12:56She'd made it under her false name, care of her own address.
12:58So, I want house to house.
13:00Show this photograph of Sandra to everybody in the street.
13:03Get as much as you can, particularly of anybody she was seen with.
13:06All right, back to Mr. Campbell.
13:08Sir, I've got a lot more on him.
13:10Share it with us.
13:11As you can see, Campbell's got form.
13:13Two prison sentences in the last three years, both for harassing women and one was a nurse.
13:19And, two months ago, he was arrested for assaulting a prostitute.
13:22Not charged.
13:23She wouldn't cooperate.
13:24Sounds promising, doesn't it?
13:26There's something else.
13:27After his second sentence for stalking, he was referred to the Northside General, the
13:32Psychiatric Outpatients Department.
13:34Uh-huh.
13:35Where at that time, Sandra Mailer was working as a nurse.
13:38Jackpot.
13:39What a result.
13:41Stupid, my man.
13:42See, we've got this wrapped up.
13:44You're having one.
13:45On me.
13:45I thought you'd never ask, sir.
13:47All right, all right.
13:47Less of the comedy routine.
13:48Robbie, see how fast you can get a search warrant for Campbell's place.
13:51On my way, chief.
13:52Yeah, whatever.
13:53Jackie, you're with me.
13:58Where to exactly?
13:59Back to the hospital.
14:00I want to find out.
14:01Oh, Matthew.
14:02I was just on my way to see you.
14:04Not much to help you on the Sandra Mailer case, I'm afraid.
14:07Somebody used surgical swabs to wipe everything.
14:09Clean as a whistle.
14:10Did they, indeed?
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:12Found a couple of boxes in the flat.
14:14Perk of the job, I suppose.
14:15Now, of course, if you were to find a murder weapon...
14:18All right, thanks, Sheila.
14:19Just leave it at my desk, would you?
14:20Oh, you look.
14:22Oh, yesterday.
14:24I was right.
14:25About what?
14:26Well, it wasn't just another heroin overdose.
14:28Come on, Jackie.
14:29Have it all day.
14:30Come on, Jackie.
14:30Have it all day.
14:30Come on, Jackie.
15:00Chief Inspector, I hear you're asking for DNA samples.
15:05Anyone who worked with Sandra, yes.
15:07Standard procedure these days.
15:08When exactly did this young woman die?
15:11We never released that kind of detail, Mrs Gillespie.
15:13Well, if it was sometime the other night,
15:15I can save you the trouble in Adam's case.
15:18He was at home all evening.
15:19With you?
15:20With me.
15:21Anyone else there?
15:22Well, it doesn't have to be, does there?
15:26I think that's what they call a pre-emptive strike.
15:28Yep, looking out for her own.
15:32Yes, Robbie?
15:33What, already?
15:35OK, I'll be with you in 15.
15:37You know, I said to go at Campbell's, Jackie.
15:40I want you to stay here, talk to the nurses,
15:41try and pick up the gossip.
15:43I want the name of the mystery man in Sandra's life
15:45and anything else you can pick up.
15:46I'll see you later.
15:58Robbie, you stick with me.
16:16Stuart, start off in there.
16:17There's Carol Smiley when you need her.
16:28Yeah, well,
16:29it's cosy enough for a couch potato, though.
16:31I love you, too.
16:46Did Sudo say they couldn't find Sandra's mobile?
17:06Yeah, that's right.
17:09Officer!
17:12Back this with you.
17:13Sir, you'd better see this.
17:33No.
17:34Wait for the photographer.
17:43I thought Alex would be covering this.
18:02No, no, he's going down with the flu.
18:05Wait till I see what Cal has got on tape.
18:07You know where that is.
18:23Sandra Mayer's close.
18:25It was recorded at 8.15 on the night she died.
18:27What do you want?
18:40Look, I'm busy.
18:41I don't have time to stay.
18:43Is that on?
18:45What are you playing at?
18:47Hey, you can't just barge in here like that.
18:51Leave the door.
18:53Look, will you switch that thing off?
18:54You can't do it.
18:56You can't do it.
18:57I'm sorry.
19:01Stuart, be a reminder, will you?
19:03I'm free-streaming the last bit.
19:06Look, will you switch that thing off?
19:08You can't do it.
19:09Now, there's your man.
19:14Classic pattern.
19:16He's gone from harassing women to assaulting them to killing one.
19:19I think there's a good chance he'll be back at the hospital.
19:21Well, you'd sure get over there.
19:23It's a silly wee lassie.
19:51you didn't mess about with that guy
19:54I don't know
19:58feel like that other one
20:05here I missed all the excitement
20:06did you get any further with the mystery man?
20:10yep it turns out that Adam Gillespie's got a bit of a reputation
20:12he had an affair a year ago with a nurse
20:15he was later fired by Mrs Gillespie
20:17really? yep
20:18and that was Sandra's mobile you found at Campbell's
20:21the last call she got was at 20 past 6
20:24the night she died
20:25she must have got it in the cab on the way home
20:27who from?
20:28from the office at the A&E department
20:29but you know the odd thing is that the last call she made
20:33was to send flowers
20:35now by all accounts
20:37Sandra wasn't exactly the sentimental type
20:39it seems right out of character
20:40hello there
20:57we're looking for Mrs Donaldson
21:00is that your mummy?
21:02no I'm their grandmother
21:03what is it?

21:12sorry your daughter?
21:14you go upstairs while I talk to the leading man for a wee while
21:16she was trying to get herself off them

21:40the nurse who sent you the flowers
21:45Sandra Mailer
21:46did she know your daughter?
21:48she must have
21:49I think they were at school together

21:53maybe this Sandra Mailer
21:57saw her at the hospital
21:58at the hospital?
22:00aye

22:03when they found her
22:04that's where she died
22:07you know
22:11it still doesn't really make sense
22:13why would Sandra send flowers
22:14when she didn't really know the victim?
22:16you know
22:16Sheila Crombie's got a special interest
22:18in this case too

24:05Now, don't be frightened.
24:07Now, don't be frightened.
24:30Where is it?
24:32Did you talk to him?
24:37No, they won't let us. Not yet, anyway.
24:39Why the hell not?
24:40They want to check him for a concussion first. He's waiting on an x-ray.
24:43I want a second opinion in that.
24:46No.
24:47Tom Ballantyne says we have to do tests, and that's it, as far as I'm concerned.
24:51Next question.
24:52Were you having an affair with Sandra Mailer?
24:59Who told you that?
25:00Never mind. Were you?
25:02No. I was not.
25:05Anybody that says anything to the contrary is lying through their teeth.
25:08Well, somebody phoned Sandra Mailer from this office the night she died.
25:11At twenty past six.
25:13Who could that have been?
25:14Could have been anybody.
25:16This office is used by a lot of people.
25:18All right.
25:19Where were you that night, between eight and nine?
25:21Look.
25:22This man, Campbell, that you're so anxious to question.
25:25I thought he was your prime suspect.
25:27Please answer the question, Doctor. Where were you?
25:32My wife's already told you that.
25:35We were at home, together, all evening.
25:39Oh.
25:41There's nothing else I can help you with.
25:43I've got patients to see.
25:48See you later.
25:49I'll let you just go and check on Campbell, sir.
25:54Hmm.
25:55Sorry.
25:56Didn't mean to interrupt you.
25:57Looking for a file, that's all.
25:58Oh, that's all right, Mrs Gillespie.
26:00I wanted to talk to you anyway.
26:02Me?
26:03What about?
26:04There was a mystery man in Sandra Mailer's life.
26:07We think she was expecting a visit from him the night she died.
26:10You're not suggesting that Adam is this mystery man?
26:13Well, somebody called Sandra's mobile from this office that night,
26:16while she was on her way home.
26:18So you've been listening to hospital gossip?
26:21Look, I'm not denying that Adam and I have had problems in the past.
26:25And I'm not saying that he's always been faithful to me.
26:28But that's all over now.
26:30He wouldn't do anything to hurt me like that again.
26:32I know that.
26:33Absolutely.
26:34Now, if you'll let me just find this file, I'll get out your way.
26:38Your husband seems to like a bet.
26:40Yes, it's a weakness of his.
26:42It's not a crime though, is it?
27:04Look, Inspector, even if Adam hadn't been with me that night,
27:17he couldn't have killed that girl.
27:18Why is that?
27:19He's just not capable of it.
27:21I mean, stabbing someone like that.
27:23You must believe me.
27:28What was that all about?
27:29She was afraid her husband killed Sandra.
27:31But she gave him an alibi.
27:33Wouldn't be the first time a wife's lying to protect her man.
27:36We can speak to Campbell in the morning.
27:42I want a lawyer.
27:44The rules say we can question you by yourself at this stage.
27:47What about?
27:49Well, let's start with the hospital.
27:51What were you doing there?
27:53I thought there was something wrong with me.
27:55I wanted them to take a look at it.
27:56Like what?
27:57A sore wrist.
27:58I thought it might be broken.
28:00What, in a fight?
28:02The other night maybe?
28:03No, I fell.
28:05Anyway, they were busy at the hospital and it wasn't hurting that much,
28:08so I decided just to leave it.
28:11You thought he'd get out through the pharmacy?
28:13Why'd you run?
28:14Same reason why he wouldn't come and talk to us earlier.
28:16What do you mean, same reason?
28:17Because he killed Sandra Mailer.
28:18No.
28:19I never touched her.
28:20Then why did you run?
28:21Look, I'm no stupid.
28:22As soon as I found out she was dead, I knew you guys would be after me.
28:23Me and my record, eh?
28:24Well, you can't blame us.
28:25Assaulting a prostitute.
28:26That was a misunderstanding.
28:27Yours or hers?
28:28Hers.
28:29I was just trying to help her.
28:30She was just a young lassie.
28:31She shouldn't have been doing that stuff.
28:32And what about all the other women?
28:33The ones you harassed?
28:34The ones you stalked?
28:35I told you.
28:36It was a misunderstanding.
28:37Anyway, I did matter.
28:38How did you run?
28:39Did you run?
28:40Look, I'm no stupid.
28:41As soon as I found out she was dead, I knew you guys would be after me.
28:43Me and my record, eh?
28:44Well, you can't blame us.
28:45Assaulting a prostitute.
28:46That was a misunderstanding.
28:47Yours or hers?
28:48Hers.
28:49I was just trying to help her.
28:50She was just a young lassie.
28:51She shouldn't have been doing that stuff.
28:53And what about all the other women?
28:55The ones you harassed?
28:56The ones you stalked?
28:57I told you, it was a misunderstanding.
29:00Anyway, I did my time.
29:05So how did you find out Sandra was dead?
29:08I went past her place that morning and saw you lot.
29:11Did you do that often with her?
29:13Just turning up like that on spec?
29:15Well, there's no law against it, is there?
29:30Oh, for God's sake, Robbie.
29:35When was the last time you saw Sandra?
29:40When I dropped her off.
29:41You sure about that?
29:42Aye, I'm sure.
29:43Okay.
29:44Jim.
29:46Jim, we know for a fact that you were at Sandra's flat later on.
29:49At 8.15 to be exact.
29:51Aye.
29:52How'd you make that out?
29:54Because we went round to your place yesterday.
29:56And we found some very interesting things there.
29:58Including Sandra's mobile.
30:01Yeah, well, she left it in my cab.
30:04That's why I was there that morning.
30:06To give it back to her.
30:08No.
30:10See, we think you took it back the night before.
30:13And that's when it all turned nasty.
30:15I don't know what you're talking about.
30:17I'm talking about a tape that shows you and Sandra
30:20having a right rammy in her flat.
30:22I've got it next door.
30:24We can all take a look at it if you like.
30:36All right.
30:38I'll tell you what.
30:41Sir, I need to speak to you right away.
30:43Not now.
30:44Sir, I can't wait.
30:47You see, Ike Buck leaves the room at 10.50 hours.
31:01Hey, Jim.
31:03You just carry on with what you were about to say.
31:05Alex Scobie is listed on this warrant as the photographer, right?
31:19So Alex had time for a sex change into Fiona White
31:21before he covered Campbell's flat, did he?
31:23See how fast you can get a warrant, you said.
31:25Look, by the time I found out Alex had gone home with the flu,
31:29I'd got the warrant signed.
31:31I mean, there wasn't time to do it all again for the sake of one name.
31:35And Fiona was the only photographer I could get.
31:37Oh, for God's sake, Robbie.
31:39Do you never read any of this bump that you go on about?
31:41The rules say that anybody not named on a warrant
31:43has to be supervised throughout the search.
31:45Did you do that? Because I didn't see you.
31:47And I know I didn't.
31:48I know technique is a problem, but...
31:50Technicalities are what these rules are all about.
31:52You know about the High Court's ruling.
31:54Listen, boss, one more push and Campbell's gonna...
31:56We get no forensic!
31:57All we've got is what we found in Campbell's flat,
31:59and now that's probably inadmissible in a court.
32:01So even if he coughs his guts,
32:03there's no corroboration and he walks.
32:11This is DCI, Buck.
32:13I want to speak to the fiscal, please.
32:15Yes, it's urgent.
32:18Wait aside.
32:25Nice one, Jackie.
32:26Nice up bunch.
32:27No, don't blame me for this.
32:29Oh, no, you never slip up, do you?
32:30No, we all make mistakes, but that's not the issue here.
32:33Let's have the benefit of your wisdom, then.
32:35What is the issue here?
32:36Not dealing with your mistake.
32:38Trying to pretend it doesn't matter,
32:39that you can charm your way around it.
32:41Robbie, you can't do your job
32:42if you think the rules apply to everyone except you.
32:44Oh, save the speeches for the promotion board, will you?
32:46Tell Mr. Campbell he's free to go.
32:48The fiscal said he might get away with it,
32:50but he's not going to take the risk
32:51of another public bollocking from the bench.
32:53And that's a direct quote, by the way.
32:55I'll tell you something about rules, Jackie.
32:59Some people think they're for the guidance of wise men
33:01and the obedience of fools.
33:03That's another direct quote, by the way.
33:05paper cave the皆 and big men
33:08And the big men, one by the way.
33:09And what the police are saying?
33:10What are the matters, the실�полне,
33:10the bully people like

33:13Query, they're it.
33:14I know every duty, but I know every duty...
33:15I see someone who has no tact.
33:16Look at them, their skin for specifics.
33:17Of course, his ins american animals can't be married
33:18forums and vedas you file a peligro.
33:19But you'll find people on the ground,
33:20When nothing happens.
33:21With perhaps a 망 evac潮ous or in the lookout field,
33:22the feudal size of all their faces were done.
33:23Finally, Jason, they'll take care of as long as the team,
33:26they'll take care of the grief,
33:27they're having a sick environment.
33:58Go away, I'm busy.
34:10Too busy for me?
34:13You're not the only cop around here with a murder case, you know.
34:16Well, the thing is, I really need to know what that perfume is that you're wearing.
34:20And while we're on the subject, why were you so interested in that OD case?
34:23Okay. Have you ever heard of a synthetic form of morphine sulfate called diacodone?
34:29Uh, no.
34:30No. Well, it's a prescription drug, right?
34:33And if you know what you're doing with it, it's a lot stronger and cheaper than street heroin.
34:39Now, this latest case is the third overdose from it in the last three months.
34:44I found part of the packet the drug comes in at the victim's house,
34:47and there's part of a batch number on it.
34:50Now, when I get time, I'm going to trace it to source.
34:52Do it now, will you?
34:54Oh, sure. I'll just drop all my other stuff.
34:57If it wasn't important, I wouldn't ask.
35:08It's NY White, and it costs a bum.
35:14Nice.
35:14Nice.
35:22What have you got in Gillespie?
35:43Oh, it's not just the occasional flutter.
35:45Whether his wife knows or not, he's got a serious gambling habit.
35:47But Campbell's the one who killed Sandra.
35:50No.
35:51No, it's more complicated than that.
35:53Yes, Sheila?
35:54You wanted to know where that batch of diacodone came from.
35:58North Side General.
36:00Sandra Mayla's bathroom cabinet.
36:02What?
36:02There was two packets of the bloody stuff in there.
36:06Get your coat.
36:07We're going back to the hospital.
36:08Sir, I just got a call.
36:10A bloodstained kitchen house turned up.
36:12They're bringing it in now.
36:12Where was it found?
36:13The back of the hospital.
36:15The porter's noticed it on the way to the incinerator.
36:17Sheila, give it to works as soon as it arrives.
36:18Matthew, I have to spend the entire day...
36:20You better give me what I want or you're finished.
36:28I've got all the evidence the police need to put you away.
36:32You made the right decision.
36:34Okay.
36:35I'll tell you what you do.
36:45Yes, I set up the system, but Tom Ballantyne is responsible for running it.
36:49Look, what is this about?
36:50Shouldn't you be trying to find out who killed Sandra?
36:52That's exactly what we'll do.
36:54What do you mean?
36:55Well, her death could be connected with the theft of drugs from this department.
36:58No, that's impossible.
36:59Oh?
36:59What makes it impossible?
37:01Well, the system.
37:03It's designed to prevent any abuse.
37:07Ah, that's right.
37:09Okay, maybe occasionally somebody could nick the odd packet of this or that
37:12when we're really up to our armpits.
37:15But nobody can steal large amounts from here on a regular basis.
37:19It's all got to be authorised in advance and signed for afterwards.
37:24You said nobody could do it.
37:26You mean no one person?
37:28Yeah, right.
37:29What about two people in collusion?
37:31No.
37:32No, that wouldn't work either.
37:33Well, not unless...
37:39Unless what?
37:42Look, I think I'm getting into deep water here.
37:46I'd really prefer...
37:47This is a murder inquiry.
37:49I don't care how uncomfortable it gets for you.
37:51Oh, it's something I noticed when the system was set up.
37:57I made a joke to Adam about it at the time.
37:59Adam Gillespie?
38:00Yeah.
38:02Because if he and, say, one of the nurses worked together,
38:05that would make it possible.
38:08But it would have to be Adam Gillespie.
38:10Oh, yeah.
38:11Well, he's the only one that could authorise false entries.
38:13Right, I want you to do something for me.
38:18I told you.
38:19I don't know anything.
38:22We don't believe you, Karen.
38:25You were the neediest thing to a friend, Sandra Haddon, here.
38:28She must have told you something.
38:29Maybe.
38:30But I'm not going to lose my job over it.
38:32What's your job got to do with it?
38:40You talking about the nurse that had an affair with Adam Gillespie?
38:43And then she got sacked.
38:45Karen, I promise you,
38:47this will stay strictly between us,
38:49but it's absolutely crucial.
38:51We're Gillespie and Sandra having an affair.
38:56How do you know?
38:58Because I walked in on them once in here.
39:00Look, your promises will stay strictly between us.
39:02I promise you, Gene Gillespie won't know.
39:04It's not Gene I'm worried about.
39:06It's Adam.
39:07He called me in this morning and said that if I told anyone anything
39:10about him and Sandra, I'd be out of here
39:12and I'd never work anywhere again.
39:20Find out if Gillespie's still here.
39:21So.
39:24I haven't done a proper check yet,
39:26but it seems you're right.
39:28You wouldn't notice the pattern
39:29unless you knew what you were looking for.
39:31And these changes that Gene Gillespie wanted,
39:33would they have prevented this happening again?
39:35Yeah.
39:35Yeah, they would.
39:36Keep working on it.
39:39He's gone, sir.
39:40Reception said he left 20 minutes ago.
39:42Shit!
39:43So do you think Sandra and Gillespie were in this together?
39:45Means she recognised the overdose victim and wanted out?
39:48Yeah.
39:49That'll be why she sent the flowers.
39:50Her conscience got the better of her.
39:52Have you got Sandra's mobile number there?
39:54Yes, sir.
39:54And then Gillespie killed her
39:57because he knew she was going to blow the whistle on him.
40:02Campbell used the phone to call here 40 minutes ago.
40:05Must have been fixing up a meet with Gillespie.
40:06What are you talking about?
40:08What's going on?
40:09You got the money?
40:34You got the tape.
40:35I don't know you haven't copied it.
40:42You're just going to have to trust me on that one, Doc.
41:05Well, I can see why you would want to shell out for that.
41:27Doctor consorts with well-known drug dealer.
41:30Not a crime?
41:32Come off it, will you?
41:33We can prove the dia code on Smith was selling
41:36and the street came from Northside General's A&E department.
41:39And if you think a jury will accept that as coincidence,
41:41you're in for a big disappointment.
41:43And you also owe a lot of money to the bookies, don't you?
41:46I want to speak to a lawyer.
41:47We haven't charged you yet.
41:48Oh, come on, let's not play games here.
41:50For God's sake, man.
41:52You're supposed to save lives, not destroy them.
41:54I don't understand what you're talking about.
41:56Three ODs that we know about
41:57and at least two motherless children.
41:59How the hell can you even think of justifying that?
42:01People choose to take drugs.
42:04Fact of life.
42:06No one forces them into it.
42:07So...
42:08So you admit that you and Sandra
42:14systematically stole diacodon from the pharmacy?
42:17We have the paperwork to show how you did it.
42:19Until I speak to a lawyer,
42:22I have no comment to make.
42:23Well, maybe you'd like to comment on this.
42:27Forensics have proved that this is the knife
42:28that killed Sandra Mailer.
42:30It was found in a waste disposal bin at the hospital
42:33and your prints are on it.
42:35Do you realise how conclusive that would be as evidence...
42:37All right, all right.
42:38I admit, I did try to get rid of it.
42:42But only because it had been put in my desk
42:44to make it look as though I were the killer.
42:45Oh, I see.
42:47And who planted it?
42:48For God's sake, man.
42:49It's obvious it was Campbell.
42:51That's why he came to the hospital that afternoon.
42:53To set me up.
42:54And when that didn't work,
42:55he tried to extort money from me.
42:58He's the man you want.
43:00I'm telling you.
43:00He had some sort of fixation on her.
43:04She probably got him involved with passing on those drugs.
43:06And then when they fell out, he killed her.
43:08That's how he got the knife.
43:10And apart from anything else,
43:13I've got an alibi.
43:14Remember?
43:15Go get Jean.
43:17She'll tell you.
43:18I was at home all night.
43:23I didn't kill her.
43:24And that's the God's honest truth.
43:26All right, I put my hand up to all the other things,
43:29like making deliveries to that guy, Danny Smith.
43:32But that's all.
43:33How did you get involved?
43:36Sandra asked me.
43:38She said to keep it between us.
43:40She didn't want Gillespie to know.
43:41But I followed him one night when he was meeting Smith.
43:46And I had the camera.
43:47And I thought, well, if ever he tried to dump all of them on Sandra,
43:51this will make sure he doesn't get away with it.
43:53I swear I didn't kill her.
43:58Okay, she got mad at me.
44:00That night I went round, she practically threw me out.
44:02But it wasn't me that killed her.
44:07And?
44:08Well, I hate to say this, but, um, I kind of believe him.
44:13What about Gillespie?
44:15Well, we still have to break his alibi.
44:17So, that's Mrs. Gillespie here.
44:20Right.
44:21When can I speak to him?
44:32How long have you known about his affair with Sandra?
44:40Quite some time.
44:42And the drugs?
44:44You've started tightening up the pharmacy system.
44:47Is she a coincidence?
44:48This is about his alibi, isn't it?
44:51You're convinced he killed her.
44:53So the alibi I gave him must be a lie.
44:56Is it?
44:58You think this is just misplaced loyalty?
45:01The pathetic wife who can't stand the truth about her cheating husband?
45:06Chief Inspector, he couldn't have killed her.
45:09I know my husband.
45:12He's basically a weak man.
45:15He doesn't have the nerve for...
45:17for going up behind someone like that and stabbing her in the back.
45:20He's just not capable of it.
45:23Why won't you believe me?
45:26Because if somebody's under enough pressure...
45:29You do know the position I'm in, don't you?
45:33Just tell me what time your husband went out that night.
45:39Shortly before eight.
45:41And what time did he get back?
45:42I don't know.
45:45Late.
45:46I was asleep.
45:48And when did he ask you for the alibi?
45:50After we'd heard the news.
45:52He swore to me he hadn't done it.
45:54But he was sure you'd be after him.
45:56He didn't confess it then?
46:00So how did you know Sandra was stabbed from behind?
46:05What?
46:05Well, someone must have mentioned it.
46:12No.
46:14No, that kind of detail we keep strictly to ourselves.
46:17Only Sandra's murderer could have known that.
46:20So you killed Sandra and then decided to make your husband pay.
46:23And the more you protested his innocence, the guiltier it made him seem.
46:26No, that's not true.
46:28I was home all night.
46:31Adam will back me up on that.
46:32Really?
46:34Are you convinced he'll lie for you when he finds out you planted the murder weapon in his desk?
46:37The best thing you can do now is make a full statement.
47:04You got no homes to go to?
47:28I was just wondering what we'll have on our plate for tomorrow.
47:30There's something else my old man used to say.
47:35Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
47:39Good night.
47:43Sir, remember that drink you promised me?
47:46And a bar that's still open.
