Stephen Eli, criminal lawyer,
long-time widower

living with his son.

I got the sense his son could be a
bit of a handful.

I think I know who killed him.

Leonard Vance.

~ Who's Leonard Vance?
~ He's a serial killer.

I'm Dr Alison Ellesmere,
consultant forensic psychiatrist.

See I remember the tooth,
the gold tooth.

Does your dad have any gold teeth?

One, right at the back, why?

Where did you bury him?

You do know where
Stephen Eli is don't you?

We need an ambulance.

Alex Wernley.
Welcome to my office.

Alex Wernley. Did you do this?

I did tell you
I trust the wrong men.

Can I leave my
daughter with you please?

You have a daughter?

I don't think he killed Stephen Eli.

I'm not convinced he killed anyone.

He's escaped. He can't have.

He's not escaped Sean. He's dead.

Don't worry about
anything. It will be fine.

And just remember that medical
centre that I told you about.

OK. Thanks.

I told them to tell you I was busy.

I'm here for
Leonard Vance's personal effects.

It's been cleared.
I've been waiting half an hour.

Well, do you mind if I see Colin out
first? He's been waiting a year.

How long will it take?

I don't see why you need to take his
things.

You know, I suppose it's what people
thought, anyway, about Lenny.

Well, people that didn't know him.

And he had a bad heart.

Could someone be deluded enough to
believe they killed...even if they
didn't?

I think it's a bit late for you to
start worrying about Leonard's
mental state, don't you?

Are you taking everything?

I want to be sure
we're all saying the same thing,

particularly when it comes to the
media.

Vance died of an existing heart
condition,

having killed two people
and confessed to a third.

Good of you to make it, DS Stone,

given it was your interference
that made this meeting necessary.

I don't think Leonard Vance did it.

Can he just go out again?

He had no idea where Stephen Eli's
grave was.

These crimes are part of a pattern.

If Leonard Vance didn't kill Stephen
Eli, then he didn't kill Whistler or
Maleva.

Then how do you explain him knowing
precise details of those murders?

I can't yet.

I think DS Stone and I should talk
after this meeting, sir.

You do that, DI Prior, because I
don't want to hear any more about
this.

Understood.

Sean.

~ Sean...
~ DS Stone.

~ Can we email?
~ No, actually, we can't.

Sean, where were you?
I tried calling.

Guys.

Cole Eli's been taken into custody.

~ What for?
~ Violent assault.

Maybe I should go in first,
see how he is.

Why do you think we're here?

To question a suspect.

Suspect?

Cole's already been through hell.

Mostly alone.

Suddenly, we turn up on the doorstep
and...

and it's in the news that his dad's
been murdered by a serial killer.

~ We did this, Sean.
~ Someone killed Stephen Eli.

Don't let emotion cloud your
judgment.

Yes, I do feel sorry for him.

And, OK, yes, I do feel guilty.

I meant in general.

He's a suspect until he's not.

Cole, what happened?

You're not police.

Are they charging me?
I barely touched him.

You attacked a man at a bus stop
and had to be restrained by six
people.

Was it the newspaper piece that
upset you?

Where did that come from?
Was it made up?

~ I tried to phone you.
~ I don't...want to talk!

I want to go now!

Now, I know my law.

Someone needs to come and tell me
if I'm being charged.

~ Cos I don't need to be...
~ You're not being charged.

~ Great. I can go.
~ We're not here about the bus queue.

We're here about your dad's
disappearance...

..possibly in violent circumstances.

Me? You lot suspect me?

Coleridge Mather told us that your
dad took regular time off to spend
with you.

They're lying to you.

Only time he went away was for work.

Can you prove that?

Am I really a suspect?

Until you're not.

~ You need to get me out of here.
~ Then you need to calm down.

When was the last time
your dad was away for work?

I'm trying to remember.
Last year, obviously.

It would be in your
interests to be specific.

May, I reckon.

Yeah, it was that last week
when I was off college and...

~ Where are his bank statements?
~ The police have been through all that.

They weren't looking
for a specific date.

I want to know where your dad was
when he wasn't here.

Bottom drawer of his desk.
I've kept everything filed.

You can help if you like.

Look, I'm really sorry for shouting
at you earlier.
None of this is your fault.

You've got a right to be upset.

Sometimes I just...

..I get this mad energy...

I look around...

I'm just on my own.

I can't see the point in anything at
the moment.

What they said in the paper...
Was that true?

Was Leonard Vance involved
in Dad's disappearance?

We're still looking into it.

He's dead, isn't he?

We don't know, Cole.
Not for certain.

I just want to know where he is.

Three nights - 27th of May to the
30th. Mr Eli's last visit. Room 114.

~ How many keys issued?
~ One.

And I can tell you that Mr Eli
didn't use the TV pay channels,

which is both commendable and rare,

amongst unaccompanied males guests,
in my experience.

~ I could tell you a few stories...
~ Don't. Do your rooms have RFID locks?

~ Yes.
~ So you can also tell me

when he re-entered the room during
his stay?

Um, I'll just...

Interesting.

After he checked in, Mr Eli didn't
use his key card at all.

~ He never left the room?
~ For three days.

Maybe I should check those pay
channels again.

Tallies with his bill. Meals from
room service, always for one.

Same on the previous visit.

~ People are creatures of...
~ Habit. I know. Telephone calls?

For...you.

Bye, then.

Stephen Eli regularly lied to his son
and his employee about his
whereabouts.

He checked into a chain hotel
and never left his room.

I'm fine, Sean. You?

~ What?
~ So what was he doing there?

~ Was Stephen Eli having an affair?
~ I don't know.

But he only used the phone in the
room to call one number.

~ So it wouldn't show on his mobile
records? ~ Probably.

Am I starting to
think like the police?

I've asked for a trace on the number
he called. It's a mobile.

It's registered to an Eamonn Thirsk.

He works at the Mayside Clinic in
Thamesmead.

~ You should get in the car.
~ Well, why don't we just phone him?

Because he's a suspect and, where possible,
we try not to alert them to our interest.

Right.

This is exactly where Stephen
disappeared from.

And Daniel Whistler.

The Mayside Clinic must be in there.

Mr Thirsk, what exactly is Mayside?

It's a drop-in clinic,
offering support and advice to the
mentally ill.

Right. And your role?

I'm a counsellor, but I spend most
of my time running the place.

All this is available on our
website.

Did Stephen Eli do pro bono
or Legal Aid work here?

~ I'm not prepared to discuss that.
~ You knew him.

He made calls to your mobile.

Look, if you want more information,
come back with a court order.

Was Leonard Vance treated here?

Thank you.

Sean, what are you doing?

He's right. We need a court order.

~ Yes, but if Stephen was a
professional visitor...
~ Confidentiality doesn't apply.

So Stephen Eli wasn't here as a
lawyer.

He was here as a patient.

You need a good reason
to get a court order for that place.

Stephen Eli is missing
in suspicious circumstances

and we have reason to believe
he was treated at Mayside.

Didn't the original investigation
check his records?

Mayside is miles from Stephen's
house. He could have used any name.

We need to find Stephen Eli,
which means uncovering his secrets,

which means we need a court order.

OK. You'll have it first thing in
the morning.

Pleasure.

I've spoken to the local police team
and victim support,

to see if there's anything
they could do for Cole Eli.

~ Thank you so much.
~ Yeah, no problem.

Do you fancy getting
something to eat?

Oh...uh...actually...

It's not a proposal, Ruth.
I'm just hungry.

I can't tonight. I'm sorry.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

I have responsibilities, Carl.

~ That's my son.
~ Ah.

He's the reason why I'm in a job
that's meant to be nine to five,
and...

and why I'm no longer with someone
who cares more about his work than
family, so...

Let me show you something.

Two girls. One's mine and the other
I raised as mine, even though she
isn't,

and was only ten
when me and their mother split up.

So...

I know about responsibilities, Ruth.

And I really am just hungry.

Gabby can't stop talking about you,
you know?

She wants me to buy her
model aeroplanes now.

How many are found?

I mean...in your work...
when someone goes missing...

..how often are they found?

Of the voluntarily missing, or also
those that disappear
against their will?

Does the question include the
unreported missing or the reported
cases only?

You need to be specific.

I'm sorry. It doesn't matter.

Who hit you?

No... Nobody hit me.

I was putting away shopping and the
cupboard door was open and...

You're not lying to me?

When have I ever done that?

~ Good day?
~ Oh, a telling-off,

an encounter with a troubled
teenager,

and a visit to a drop-in clinic for
the mentally ill.

~ Oh.
~ It sounds exactly like school.

Oh...don't ask Mum about Leonard
Vance dying, because she won't tell
you anything.

~ That's right.
~ I wasn't going to. I'm about to eat.

Oh, and don't ask her anything about
the cool detective who asked her out
in the car park,

because she won't talk about that
either.

~ What did I say?
~ I wouldn't dream of it.

His name's Carl Prior.

~ When are you seeing him?
~ I said no.

~ Why?
~ That's what I said.

Because...Bryan was with me.

~ You could have arranged to see him
later. ~ That's what I said.

And, because at some point,

I would have had to have brought him
home to meet you two.

And he's a good man
and he deserves better than that.

~ It's still early. ~ Yeah, and we've
got plans, haven't we, Nan?

We're gonna watch that documentary
about surgical blunders.

We are not voting on it.

What are you so scared of?

Your court order.
Where are the files?

You'll have to wait.

Colin, isn't it?

Yes. We met at Crowley.

Dr Ellesmere sent me.

You have to come regularly,
so you don't get isolated, you know?

Um, Col. Here you go, mate.
See you Thursday.

Thank you.

~ Bye.
~ Bye.

OK.

Follow me.

Patient files are in the corner.

Why was Stephen Eli here?

Why was he phoning you
from a hotel room?

The court order doesn't apply to me.

You'll need to sign for
anything you take away.

Steve.

There he is.

Stephen's bipolar.

He's been coming here for years on
and off.

~ So had Daniel Whistler.
~ What?

What? What on earth...

Kris Malkin.

Christopher Maleva's alias.

That's the pattern.

The mentally ill are the target.
This is their hunting ground.

Maleva was treated here for PTSD
following a street attack.

Whistler was seen for drug-induced
psychosis, and Stephen Eli for
bipolar disorder.

All three of the people Leonard Vance
admitted to killing came through
here.

~ And so did he.
~ So it could have been him?

Why? Why would he never mention this
place in any of his confessions?

And why is Eamonn Thirsk
being so obstructive?

Well, somebody taking a dislike to
you, Sean, isn't entirely
unprecedented.

Multiple murderers prey on the
vulnerable and require two things -
access and opportunity.

The website said Thirsk
is the only full-time employee.

Prior?

DI Prior. I'd like to bring
someone in for questioning.

~ Why did Stephen Eli phone you from
a hotel? ~ You saw his file.

Answer the question.

I only knew him as Steve, and he
mostly managed his condition
himself.

Stephen had a particularly severe
bipolar disorder,

which he hid from everyone.

But when a low became impossibly
low, he shut himself in a hotel,

and stayed there, until he could
bear to go on pretending he was
fine.

That doesn't answer the question.

He phoned me because I was the only
person he could safely be himself
with.

~ You're not a doctor.
~ No.

But I am the one constant
for a lot of the Mayside's clients.

Including Daniel Whistler and Kris
Malkin?

If they were clients, probably.

~ What about Leonard Vance?
~ What about him?

~ Did he rely on you?
~ What?

~ A bit defensive, aren't we?
~ Do you want to know why?

~ -Yes.
~ Because the Leonard Vance I knew

was a vulnerable, confused man
suffering from a mental illness,

who - by the time you and the media
had finished with him - had become a
monster.

All three people he confessed to
killing were treated at your clinic.

And you've been obstructive.

Every time a schizophrenia kills, it
gets twice the media coverage of a
"normal" murder,

even though the mentally ill are far
more likely to be the victims of
crime.

In my experience, a visit from you
only results in more prejudice,

and if I can obstruct that, I
absolutely will.

Sir.

If Leonard Vance was targeting the
mentally ill,

he was doing so because he knew -
from experience -

most people wouldn't give a damn.

If? You don't think he was guilty?

Do you?

Answer the question.

I think he was a very easy target.

DS Stone.

Haven't you done enough damage?

I wanted to apologise to Cole
for any upset my story may have
caused him.

And to offer him the opportunity
to tell his side of it.

~ Can be very cathartic.
~ You stay away from him.

Don't worry, I didn't tell him
where my information came from.

I always protect my sources.

You're a parasite. Do you know that?

And you are particularly striking
when you're angry.

I think we should go for a drink,
Ruth from Missing Persons.

You've got my card.

You stay away.

Why couldn't he tell me?

Oh...

I can understand him keeping it from
work.

He worked really hard, you know.

I guess no-one wants a "mad" lawyer,
do they?

But me...

Why couldn't he tell me?

I read the reports from the clinic.

All he did was talk about you.

How scared he was about letting you
down.

This doesn't mean he loves you any
less.

But what it might mean...

You talked about...

experiencing mood swings...

..extremes of emotion...

Bipolar is often hereditary.

You're saying I've got it too,
aren't you?

I don't know.

But I'd hope you'd try to find out.

Sir.

His name's Colin Breen.

I know.

He's only been dead a few hours.

He was carrying anti-psychotic meds.
His head's been caved in.

Well, Leonard Vance
can't claim this one.

The pattern suggests that the same
person who killed Colin Breen

also killed Daniel Whistler
and Christopher Maleva.

All three were regular visitors to
Mayside,

which means Leonard Vance was not
responsible for any of the murders.

We've already established he knew
details that could only have come
from the killer.

We need to know who had access to him
at the time of his confessions.

~ And where do we find that out?
~ Crowley visitor records.

OK. Good.

Let's make sure no details of this
murder get out.

And let's have a look at other
mispers with mental health issues

~ who might have visited Mayside.
~ Because?

Because...whoever is killing
mentally ill people clearly isn't
ready to stop.

Are you sure?

According to Crowley, there wasn't
a single visitor logged to Leonard
Vance

in the period he made those first
confessions.

~ Maybe they were informal visits.
~ Let's find out.

Why aren't you at work?

Um...

I've got to go in much later.

I was told about Colin and...

..I just didn't...want to be
around the place for a while.

Mm-hm.

There's a high mortality rate
amongst the mentally ill, but
still...

Three times higher than the national
average, but it does seem to spike
around you.

And nobody knows the exact details
about what happened to him, how he
was killed?

We're not here about Colin Breen.
We're here about Leonard Vance.

We need to know who had access to
Leonard around the time of the
initial confessions.

Oh...right. Uh...

Well, all visits are logged.

The log says he received no visits
for the entire period during which he
made those admissions.

Could that be a mistake?

Could there have been any...informal
visits?

Actually, visitors aren't allowed
during the patient's evaluation
period.

So there were no visitors at all?

We really do need your help.
We don't want anybody else to die.

~ What do you mean?
~ Yes or no?

~ Leonard did see one person.
~ Who?

I shouldn't have done it.
I didn't mean any harm.

~ And there were other factors.
~ Who?

Alex Wernley. I introduced him to
Leonard - against regulations.

Why?

You were in a relationship?

~ Were? Are?
~ No, definitely "were".

~ You lied.
~ I know.

I was wrong.

Perhaps if you told me
what all of this was about?

And why are you
still asking about Leonard?

Because you were responsible
for every aspect of his welfare,

from approving his visitors
to administering his medication.

You were obviously negligent.

We need to bring Alex Wernley in now.
Phone him.

~ But, Sean, he's a suspect.
~ Yes?

Well, didn't you say
police don't phone suspects?

Yes. You're not police.

It's me.

I need your help.

My mother always said
I was impossible to stay angry with.

So, what's the latest?

Breaking news.
Your mother was wrong.

Why? What's going on?

~ You're under arrest.
~ Ruth!

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence...

So why did you continue to visit
Leonard Vance after your book was
published?

~ We became friends.
~ I don't believe you.

OK, fine. You want me to say
I used Leonard to make my name

and that I hoped he'd talk about
more murders one day?

Guilty. Charge me with that.

Somebody fed him details about three
murders that only the killer could
have known.

Leonard Vance was the killer.

No, he wasn't.

This is insane.

You were the only person to visit him
in the period he made those first
confessions.

~ What else did she tell you?
~ Who are we talking about.

Ali. Dr Ellesmere.

Obviously she told you
that she got me in to see Leonard...

And I presume you know about the
e-mail?

Why don't you forget about
what she has and hasn't told us

and just focus on telling us the
truth?

She received an email, around the
time Daniel Whistler's body was
found,

from a patient at Mayside Clinic
who saw Whistler get into a blue
minicab.

Vance's car was white. You're saying
it wasn't Vance that picked up
Whistler?

Exactly.

~ But the witness couldn't come
forward. ~ Why not?

Because they couldn't afford for
their mental illness to become
public.

~ They trusted Ali.
~ Right. So why didn't she report it?

Leonard confessed to the murders.

In truth, I don't know
why she hid it.

Who was the witness?

~ She didn't mention any of this, did
she? ~ Who was it?

It was Stephen Eli.

Mr Thirsk.

I... I just wanted to say I'm sorry
if you've had bad experiences with
the police in the past.

I had a bad experience with the
police this morning.

Well, I'm not police.

I've worked in Missing Persons for
20 years...

and...I promise you,

we're on the same side.

And...if there's anything

you can give me on your staff...

..or visiting professionals...

..or a journalist, maybe, who might
possibly have come into contact

with any of the patients
that we've asked you about...

..well, it could just make all the
difference.

Sean! Guess where Dr Ellesmere
worked before she came to Crowley.

Mayside.

And she was working here at the same
time Whistler, Maleva and Stephen
were patients -

and this is the first place she met
Leonard.

So she had access and opportunity.

She also hid an email from Stephen
Eli

in which he said he witnessed
Whistler's abduction.

~ She was going to Crowley.
~ Not there. Not answering her phone.

~ We're at her house now.
~ Get in.

~ Police!
~ Police!

Sean?

~ Sean, what's going on?
~ Anybody here?

Police!

Clear!

Clear!

Sean? Can you hear me? Sean!

She's running.

The more we find out,
the less I understand why.

The only question that matters
is where she is now.

We've found her phone and keys.
She's not planning on coming back.

~ A neighbour said they saw a cab
leaving. ~ Why not take her car?

Too easy to trace. We've alerted
stations, ports and airports.

What was the last call
she made on her mobile?

To me - about Colin Breen.

The last call on this was to Crowley,
minutes after we left her.

So you're wondering
how she called the cab company?

Sean?

We need to get to Crowley.

~ We know she's not there.
~ All external calls are recorded.

Leonard Vance told me.

We need to find out who she spoke to,
and why.

~ There it is. Incoming call, 14:32.
~ To the in-house pharmacy?

Why would Dr Ellesmere call the
pharmacy as soon as we left?

Let's be quiet and find out. Play it.

Please.

~ Hello.
~ It's me.

~ I need your help.
~ Why?

~ What's the matter?
~ The police have been, Tommy.

~ Tommy?
~ They asked about Leonard's meds.

~ He's the man pushing the meds
trolley. ~ Shh.

What if I made a mistake with the
dosage on the day he died?

~ You didn't.
~ What if I killed him?

~ You didn't. ~ With everything that was
going on...

~ Access and opportunity.
~ Start a full inventory.

I have to be sure. I'll be in later.

Dr Ellesmere was about to find out
Leonard Vance was given a fatal
dose...

~ by Tommy Purdie.
~ Tommy?

OK. Fine.

Just leave it with me.

She isn't running, is she?
Tommy's taken her.

What have you done?

What have you given me?

No sign of Purdie at his flat.
Has this place been checked?

~ Yeah. ~ Vehicle description's been
sent out.

That's how he does it.
He poses as a minicab driver.

He was one, according to his
employment history.
He used to be most things.

It was Tommy's car Stephen
recognised.

He identifies his victims, picks
them up outside Mayside and then he
kills them.

Yeah, but where does he take them?

He's got no previous convictions.
The only thing we have on the system
is him as a victim.

~ Victim of what?
~ Serious sexual assault, as a child.

~ I've got a fine for fly tipping.
~ So?

Were any of those jobs in refuse?

~ How'd you know that?
~ Landfill?

~ Yeah.
~ Nothing was random.

The quarry where Whistler was buried.

The scrubland where Maleva was found.

Colin Breen at the recycling centre.

They're all ex-landfill sites.

~ That's the pattern. Jay's Lane.
~ What's that?

The nearest dump site to Dr
Ellesmere's house.

Ruth, with me!

What's happening, Tommy?

I don't understand.

~ You didn't even keep them in, did
you? ~ What?

Those dangerous men. These...
These violent men.

They come to Crowley for evaluation,

but then you decide that they're
safe to be in the community.

Well, guess what, Doctor...

~ You were wrong.
~ Who are you talking about?

Whistler.

Maleva.

Colin Breen.

How long, Doctor, eh?

How long before the same thing
happens to someone else like
happened to me?

You poisoned Leonard.

I showed him where the body was.

I told him. I sat him down.

I drew it for him.
But, you see, it wasn't going in.

He was gonna crack.

I didn't mean for any of this to
happen.

You took advantage of a sick man.

~ You made him believe he killed
those people. ~ And what about you,
Doctor?

With your awards and your
boyfriend's book.
None of it was real, was it?

He was getting better.

He was dangerous.

And so are you.

You see, I've watched you.

You twist things.

You make right things wrong,
wrong things right.

I told you about the e-mail from
Stephen Eli.

You killed him, too.

Oh...Tommy...

Tommy.

We're going.

No. Tommy...

Tommy...

Tommy, what happened to you?

Tommy...look at me.

Just look...

Tommy, look at me.

No. No!

You need to stay by the car.

What if I'm wrong? What if he's taken
her somewhere else?

Then I'm wrong, too.

Anyway, we're creatures of habit,
aren't we, Sean?

Tommy, no. Stop. Stop!

Tommy, no.

Tommy!

Tommy.

Tommy! Tommy, no!

Put it down! Put it down!

It really doesn't
make any sense, Tommy.

You've confessed to five murders
and one attempted murder.

You're going to spend
the rest of your life in jail.

Or a secure hospital.

What difference does it make to you?

Just tell us where Stephen Eli is.

Ask Leonard Vance.

~ Did he tell you?
~ No.

Oh, uh, my family said I was wrong,
by the way,

about not going with you
for something to eat.

Oh.

So...

if you feel like asking again...

~ ..next time you're hungry...
~ Of course.

Um... Yeah, I'll...
I'll bear that in mind.

I know where he is.

~ I'd like to get the two from here
to here. ~ All right.

Oh, Ruth.

Sorry, I'm painting.

Look, if you're here to check
if I went to the GP, I went.

So...

~ What's up?
~ We found him, Cole.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, God...

Oh...

Mummy's gone.

She's missing.

No.

She... She can't be.
