Oh I forgot my bag. What at home?

In the car. Get it.

SHE SIGHS

Ms Metcalf?

I spoke to your...

..to Alfie's dad. Oh my ex yeah. David.

He suggested having Alfie tested.

For what?

Bye Mum!

Bye!

We were thinking maybe ADHD.

Right. Well...

..let me know what you and David decide.

SHE SIGHS

Hey. Hey.

Your shift doesn't start till ten.

A body's been found at the museum.

Ha-ha. Is it 8000 years old?

No I'm serious. I just got a call.

It's a prank Jake.

It's really not boss. The fatality it's one of the staff.

Oh.

It's all right you can call her.

No I wasn't...

I was going to text. I don't mind.

It's probably just an accident.

Well you were right.

She's an asset. Hmm.

Think you could tell HER that?

Deceased is a 28-year-old female. Emily Barret - two Rs one T. Um...

The body was found by the cleaner on the early morning shift

and it was called in by the museum director at 8.25.

Just fill me in on the rest inside.

Patience?

You all right?

Where is he?

Over there.

Mr Scott.

Miss Evans.

I'll... Yeah yeah.

You're the museum's director?

Um yeah. Hi Raymond Starr.

The young woman she's known to you?

Well she's one of our conservators yeah.

Which does what exactly?

Um evaluating and incorporating new specimens

installing exhibits that kind of thing.

I didn't know fossils needed cleaning.

Um... Well um...

..a lot of them are made of fibreglass so...

They're clever fakes.

Patience?

Patience.

I thought I'd lost you.

HE CLEARS THROAT

Patience?

You all right? You seem a bit spooked.

Just...

Just my dad used to bring me here.

Oh.

And I haven't been back since he died.

You should have said.

No I find it hard to talk about.

My son loves to come here as well with his dad.

The dinosaur gallery is his happy place.

Ma'am this is a crime scene.

Oh don't worry I won't touch anything.

I'm sorry I have to insist. I'm here to interview...

Behind the tape please. I'm here to interview...

Now. ..Raymond Starr for Palaeontology Today.

We're dealing with a sudden death.

Raymond?

Raymond's tied up right now.

Cate I'm so sorry. Look I'll have to call you later.

I have a deadline. Ma'am.

SCOFFS Deadline!

She writes about things that have been extinct for thousands of years.

Er about 65 million years actually.

Tania found Emily's body at just after seven Mr Starr.

She says she phoned you immediately

but you didn't notify us until 8.25.

Yeah sorry it was a misunderstanding.

I thought she'd made the call. All right.

Can you keep yourself available?

Yeah.

Cause of death?

I've only been here five minutes.

She drowned.

There are certain signs I admit.

Yeah the cyanosis of the fingers

and the swollen eyelids and the foam around the nostrils.

Yes but um... But what?

Well in my experience drowning usually involves some form of water.

The body the clothes the floor they're all bone dry.

DOOR OPENS NEARBY

Hi. So I checked to see if Emily Barret had any previous convictions

and there weren't any. But charges had been brought against her

for fossil trafficking.

Velociraptor teeth were found in her bag four years ago

in customs in Mongolia.

And the charges were dropped when her boyfriend Peter Venkman

admitted to stealing and putting them there.

He got a six-month sentence.

For a few teeth?

This is really helpful.

Anything else you find bring it straight to me.

Well I checked the system

to see if any of the other museum employees were on it

and no-one was apart from Mr Starr.

Yeah?

Well he got a speeding ticket.

I... I didn't mean anything.

Anything relevant to the case.

PHONE CHIMES Oh.Oh.

It's Parsons.

Can you take a break?

I've OKed it with your boss for when I need you.

Yeah Mr Alistair John Maynard. He told me.

W-Wouldn't it make you feel less anxious if we spoke to Baxter

made your role with us official?

Um...

I'll...I'll get my stuff and meet you outside?

Right.

Pulmonary oedema congested lungs

subpleural haemorrhage.

As we thought Emily Barret drowned.

As Patience thought.

I didn't disagree.

I've tested the water in her lungs.

It could show us where she drowned.

We'll let you know when we're done. Mm-hm.

Postmortem report.

What exactly are we doing here?

Looking for evidence. What of who shoved her head into a sink?

No-one did. There was no bruising to the neck.

So what then?

We think Emily may have been involved in trafficking.

Trafficking? Trafficking what?

This.

It feels real. It's... It's definitely not fibreglass.

What are we doing here?

Alfie forgot his lunch.

Can you pass me that bag?

Dino cookies?

Mm. He's obsessed with dinosaurs.

Don't tell him a lot of the bones are replicas.

Well if he's obsessed he probably already knows.

Thanks.

Hey bub.

Sorry you forgot your lunch. Here.

What's this?

Some new things.

Um it's protein and fibre to help you grow.

Alfie this is Patience. Patience Alfie. Hi. Hi.

Um do you know what this is?

I-It's a dinosaur hip bone! Can I touch it?

Yeah. Careful.

Oh my God. Wow.

So when I was your age triceratops were my favourite.

I like caseosaurus. It's from the same family.

Yeah.

Sorry bub. We've got to go.

The bad guys are getting away?

"Thank you for my delicious and nutritious lunch Mum."

Thanks. And Patience.

Thanks Patience. It's OK.

CHUCKLING

You had no idea she'd taken it?

No none at all. Any idea how much it's worth?

An ischium?

From a brachiosaur this well preserved? Pfft.

Thousands of pounds at auction. Is it insured?

Oh not many people would know this was a genuine fossil.

My 11-year-old son did.

Did he really?

Then I may just have something for him.

The museum came up with some CCTV sir.

DC Akbari's been through it.

This is near the main entrance sir. 11 o'clock Sunday evening.

She looks drunk. Is she drunk?

Still waiting on the tox report.

Um this is about ten minutes later.

That's Peter Venkman convicted fossil trafficker...

..and her ex-boyfriend.

We don't see him go inside.

Not really. Don't have all the entrances covered I'm afraid.

But we see him come the same way an hour or so later.

You think it's a homicide?

Well we may have a motive sir.

Emily Barret removed a valuable fossil from the museum.

We found it at her flat set up to be photographed.

And you think Venkman was involved?

Well he'd certainly know its worth sir.

The fossils that Venkman served time for stealing

were found in Emily's bag.

Maybe he took the fall for her she owed him payback.

Can we prove there was any contact between them?

Emily's phone's missing. The signal stops close to Robin Hood's Bay

around 7pm on Sunday night.

All right.

Let's assume he went to the museum for a handover. What then?

Emily gets cold feet. Venkman tries to force her to reveal

the fossil's location.

You know... "Where is it?"

Only with more colourful language.

Except there's no signs of struggle anywhere on her body.

You don't think it was a murder?

I didn't say that sir. I just...

..don't buy Emily Barret as a thief.

I found something online. Can you...?

Rosalind Franklin -

she is the one who unlocked the DNA double helix.

But who got the credit?

Francis Crick and James Watson.

Then we have Jocelyn Bell Burnell who discovered radio pulsar.

What's the word on Venkman?

His flatmate says he's gone into town to attend an auction

she thinks.Hmm. PHONE CHIMES

Oh bollocks. What?

I'm meant to be picking up Alfie. Call his dad.

I don't want to speak to him.

I thought you two were getting on better. We are. It's just...

He's... He's chasing me on something. I...

..haven't made up my mind.

What about...you-know-who?

SOFT SQUEAKS

PHONE RINGS

Um this is Patience Evans speaking.

Patience hi.

This is DI Metcalf...um Detective Bea.

I'm...calling to ask a humongous favour.

I wondered if you could pick up Alfie from school for me?

He...

He really seemed to like you.

I-I wouldn't ask it

it's just we're about to interview Emily Barret's ex.

Actually do you know what? Never mind. The interview can wait.

No I'll do it.

Are you sure?

Yes. I-I...I want to do it.

That's brilliant. I'm unbelievably grateful.

I-I'll... I'll ring the school let them know

and I'll text you the details. Thanks.

CHILDREN LAUGH

He's such a loser.

Look at his stuff.

Have fun Alf!

Children that's enough! Get inside.

I ran because I didn't want to go back to prison.

I had a hard time inside.

Oh yeah cos there's two things every decent convict hates -

sex offenders and fossil thieves.

They hear the word "trafficking" they don't ask what kind.

The lot you were selling at auction...

It was legit.

I swear. So why not act like it?

They changed the law about what you can take and sell.

How was I going to prove I got it before the rules changed?

When did you last see Emily Barret?

Don't know.

What like three months ago?

That you?

We used to be a couple.

She phoned asked me to meet her outside the museum last night.

Only she wasn't there.

I knocked. No answer.

Went away come back an hour later still no sign.

What's she been saying about me?

Nothing.

Emily was found dead in the museum at seven this morning.

Dead?

What happened?

Oh God.

DOOR BEEPS

Um I'm going to show you something OK?

Mm.

GASPS

Mice are very good at solving puzzles.

They carry germs.

No. No they're actually very clean.

SQUEAKING

Oh... This is Accio.

GASPS I don't like things that scratch.

Oh. Well I find animals much nicer than people.

How... Wait don't you have any friends?

Um... I'm not...

I'm not sure.

How do you make friends?

I don't know.

But I've joined a group of people that want to help.

How do they help?

Well they talk about facing your fears.

It's OK. Look.

She's soft isn't she?

Yeah.

Aw. Hey.

Aw.

Yeah she likes you.

Aw...

Do you want to hold her?

ALFIE EXHALES SHARPLY It's OK.

For the tape I'm showing Mr Venkman the call log from his phone.

Time of call 9.27pm on Saturday. Do you recognise that number?

It's Emily's number.

Why was she phoning?

I told you she wanted to hook up.

At the museum at 11pm on a Sunday?

She said it would be safer. Safer than what? For who?

I don't know.

But you went along anyway.

She said she had something exciting to tell me.

I thought maybe she wanted to get back together.

And that's the last you heard from her?

Um...

I had a message about 8.30 last night

from a number I didn't recognise.

It was a woman mumbling and slurring like she was...

..she was drunk or something and...

..the tone sounded like Emily

but I couldn't make out a word she was saying.

Would you be able to play it back for me?

I deleted it.

It's so cool where Patience works.

What cooler than my part of the station?

Way cooler. I got to play with mice.

I thought you hated mice.

Since when?

What's this?

We're trying Japanese food. It's healthy.

Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world.

Looks yuck.

Have a seat.

I have a present for you from the museum's director.

It's a dinosaur apparently. Oh!

Oh brachiosaurus!

There's... There's no instructions.

Oh? There isn't?

This is stupid.

No the first palaeontologists only had fragments to work with Alfie.

It's stupid!

Alfie...

Stupid.

Alfie get back here.

Alfie!

Sorry.

Can you make it?

"Please."

Please.

CLATTER

SHE SIGHS

She's added an extra branch.

You're right.

And it looks recent. Mm.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

I'm so sorry give me a minute.

You again detective.

Can you take a look at this?

It's Darwin's tree of life.

Patience and I have just been to

the tattoo parlour that Emily frequented.

Apparently she liked to mark important milestones in her life

with um fresh ink. A couple of days before she died

she added an extra branch. Any idea what it might represent?

Well the tree shows how the genus of a species -

dogs wolves jackals for instance -

might evolve by divergence from a shared genetic starting point so...

..this might refer to the discovery of a new evolutionary branch

a new genus...

..of any one of the um 8.7 million species

with which we share our planet. Now if you'll excuse me.

She came back then the journalist?

Yes. They go to press tomorrow.

I submitted an article which called for an interview.

What's the article about? HE CHUCKLES

Nothing that could possibly interest you.

So sorry about that. That's all right. Where were we?

When you said Emily drowned

how sure were you on a scale of one to ten?

Well what end of the scale is certain? Ten.

Ten.

Then are there any natural causes of death

that mimic the symptoms of drowning?

Or could it have been staged to look as if she died that way?

I have to be allowed to question your ideas Patience.

Emily calls you arranges to meet you at the museum

and you think she's going to hand over the fossil.

But when you get there she says she's had a change of heart.

There is no dino bone.

She's left it where it'll be safer. Safe from you that is.

I never went inside.

That's thousands of pounds she's denying you.

More than enough to make up for the what six months that you spent

inside on her behalf?

Em–Emily didn't know about the teeth that I'd been smuggling.

She would never risk her career.

She owed you didn't she Peter?

She wouldn't tell you what she'd done with it

and that made you angry. No.

So you followed her into her lab

you forced her head under a tap maybe just to scare her at first...

No! She was drunk. She couldn't fight back.

I told you I didn't go inside!

Then what are your fingerprints doing all over the lab?

I...

No! Not now.

HE SIGHS

Right interview terminated at 10.25.

HE SIGHS

I thought you OKed it. She said that you had to see her.

Boss he was ready to confess.

All right. Yeah but now he's got time to think.

All right!

Just take him back to his cell. But...

Now. You as well.

Patience...

..are you all right? PATIENCE BREATHES SHAKILY

What just happened in there?

Well you told me that if I had any new information

then I should bring it to you straight away.

Boss...

Boss!

Look h-his brief says Venkman wants to make a statement.

Apparently it's come back to him.

Emily used to bring him up to her lab

to make out when they were dating. We'll deal with this

when I get back. We had him.

I'm...really sorry. I...

I should have been clearer.

He used to bring me here after work.

Your dad?

Yeah.

Yeah he loved the idea that someone had been declared

the emperor of half the known world in York right here.

He used to walk me round the Minster and tell me stories

about the people that had been involved in building it.

He used to say that everyone had a role to play and...

..a contribution to make no matter how small.

I'm just really scared of letting him down.

You... You don't need to be.

And don't worry about making things official.

We can just keep it casual

or forget about it entirely and just...

..concentrate on being friends.

Friends?

Patience?

What was so urgent?

I know how Emily Barret died.

That's very rare. I mean very.

Maybe...four cases in 30 years.

But not unheard of?

How does it work?

Well the cause of death would be pulmonary oedema.

At some point before she died water entered her lungs

causing them to swell

and making it harder for oxygen to reach the bloodstream.

So your lungs slowly fill with fluid

and it looks as if you've drowned.

Yeah. It can take hours.

And Emily appearing to be drunk?

Well nothing showed up on the tox report

but she'd have been extremely weak due to oxygen deprivation

shortness of breath. Oh.

Have we tested the water in her lungs?

I'll give them a hurry up.

It could give us a clue as to where she drowned.

PHONE RINGS

This is Patience Evans speaking.

Oh Patience it's DI Metcalf.

Oh Detective Bea.

I was just calling to see how you are.

Um very busy at the moment.

Oh well I won't keep you.

I just thought you'd like to know you were right

about the secondary drowning. We think an incident may have occurred

at a place called Marshall's Quarry.

We spoke to a delivery driver Ben Colston.

He picked her up Sunday evening very close by

at a place called Croft Corner.

Patience?

Hmm.

Maybe it makes the whole thing work.

Oh I thought you did yoga on Friday?

No time for that.

I've been digging into Ben Colston

the driver who picked up Emily Barret.

He's been using his mother's maiden name.

His birth name is Benjamin Gooch and he's got a suspended sentence

for indecent exposure at a girls' school.

We've got a lead on someone.

Suggests Emily's death may be a homicide.

Yeah it was. Um I know who killed her.

Yeah Benjamin Gooch right?

No.

PHONE RINGS

SIGHS HEAVILY

Baxter.

Another lead?

Are you sure?

All right five minutes.

You've got this.

Thank you.

All right. I'm listening.

Um... Um...

Marshall's Quarry. This is where Emily inhaled the water.

We don't know at what time

but at 8.27pm Emily made a call from the delivery driver's phone.

Now Croft Corner - a traffic camera picked up a speeding offence

made by Emily's boss on the A171 at 8.14pm.

Now this initially came up when I first searched the database

and I didn't think it was part of the puzzle

but speeding seemed so out of character for Mr Starr

and it was actually the extra piece that made everything come together.

It can't be a coincidence sir. He's half a mile from the quarry

yards from where Emily made that call.

Why else would he be speeding?

OK. Get him in.

Good work Patience.

Bring me something to convince the CPS

before you start handing out the gongs.

For the tape I'm showing a map of marked areas

where Emily Barret inhaled water

where she dialled 999

and where Mr Starr around the same time broke the speed limit.

I was out for a drive. When Tania Macalinden called

to tell you Emily's body had been found at the museum

you refused to believe it.

Yeah. I was shocked.

Yeah I bet you were.

We spoke to Cate Furnish.

Her journal was due to publish an article by you

the culmination of two years' work.

On Friday you asked her to substitute it for a different one.

Towards A Reclassification Of Theropods.

Yeah.

This reclassification hinges on the ischium.

The very same bone that Emily had taken home to photograph.

Another coincidence.

Was the second article Emily's?

HE SCOFFS

Of course not.

I think it was.

I think she asked for your opinion

you read Emily's article and suddenly yours is worthless.

You needed to buy yourself time didn't you?

Figure out how to salvage your reputation.

You tell her you'll help her get it published

and in the meantime you tell her to take the bone

take some photos to accompany the article.

Bring 'em in Will.

Found in Marshall's Quarry.

Why would Emily launch her phone and laptop into the water?

Submerging the laptop doesn't erase the data.

We're going to find Emily's article on there aren't we?

It will be identical to the one you submitted to the journal.

I just wanted to talk to her.

It wasn't until I'd sent in my article

that Emily showed me her research.

She'd made the kind of breakthrough I'd been...

..struggling for my entire career.

That must have been hard to accept.

Her conclusions were drawn from areas of research

that I'd been studying for years that I'd pointed her towards.

So...

..I sent it to them under my name.

They loved it.

Said I'd make the front cover if I gave them an interview.

By that point...it was too late to admit the truth.

You knew that she'd gone fossil hunting.

I went to the quarry to offer her a research credit that's all.

And then instead of accepting my offer she starts berating me

about men taking credit for women's scientific discoveries.

HE SCOFFS LAUGHS

This girl...

..with piercings tattoos and a criminal boyfriend.

And then this.

You don't understand this is like a chimp with a typewriter

coming up with King Lear.

HE LAUGHS

She threatened to expose you.

I tried to reason with her but I lost my temper

and threw the laptop into the water.

She was filming me on her phone.

Screeching about how she was going to show the world

what kind of man I am.

I tried to grab the phone.

We tussled over it and stumbled into the lake.

I pushed her away

maybe a little bit harder than I meant to and she...

Sh-She... She fell in. Sh-She... She went under.

And you didn't think to try and help her?

Well I...I thought she'd maybe hit her head or something.

I-I-I panicked.

I panicked and I ran and I...

I didn't look back.

You left her for dead.

Raymond Starr you are charged

with the manslaughter of Emily Wilding Barret.

You know that new branch that you told me about?

Yeah. Does that mean they think there's a new type?

As discovered by Emily Barret.

KNOCK ON DOOR

That's your dad. Already?

Well Alfie I can help you pack.

All right.

Hiya. Hey. Um he's just going to be a minute.

Patience is helping him get his things.

Oh Patience eh? I've heard a lot about her recently.

Oh I wanted to give you this.

You've changed your mind.

Well his...his best chance is if we all pull in the same direction.
