This programme contains some scenes which some viewers

may find upsetting from the start and some violent scenes

You know, they say loneliness is a killer. I found her shoeprints in the cave.

TERRIFIED WHIMPERING Someone else was there.

Hi, I'm Harriet. JACK: Hi.

Please call me Professor.

MRS BAXTER: He's still there. What if he does something?

What if you're not here?

We live here, not Gloria. No, Gloria lives here.

BENJAMIN: These are her things. How did they get here?

What are you interviewing for?

Crime analyst.

I thought you needed support.

Mr Dawson?

Yes. I'm here for our appointment.

Useless git. He wouldn't sign it.

Is he going to cause us any trouble?

He's a confused old man.

JACK: Her name is Edith Bausch.

Welcome to Cherry Hill. I'm Blessing.

Why would they be out here, at their age...

..in clothes like this?

CLOCK TICKING QUIETLY

Do we think they were a couple?

No wedding rings.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything.

A ring for their generation's important.

Don't you think?

And for me.

It means a lot to me.

You know, at the beginning, when I'd just started,

I would dread the end of the day.

I couldn't close my eyes.

Images of what I'd seen came flooding back.

Couldn't sleep.

Haunted by them.

I guess I didn't feel safe.

Something about today just won't go away.

How long do you think they'd been dead?

Three weeks? Their bodies are in active decay.

No-one missed them.

No missing person's report.

I was thinking, how many people would miss me

if one day I wasn't there? I would miss you.

Hmm. Thanks. JACK CHUCKLES

Hmm.

But let's say...

..we went for a walk together, a walk in the woods,

and got lost...

Do you think they got lost? Don't you?

Hmm.

Lost by design maybe. Huh?

Senicide. What's that?

Altruistic self-sacrifice.

An old tradition.

Examples of it in lots of different cultures.

You sacrifice yourself to stop being a burden

to your community.

When the island of Keos in the Aegean Sea

was besieged by Athens,

the people of Keos voted that all people over 60

should kill themselves by drinking hemlock

to preserve the food supply.

You're serious? They did this willingly.

And then there are the old apocryphal stories

of old Native Americans

who wander off into the wilderness to die.

Mm-hm.

Or the Inuit...

..who put their old on ice floes

and let them drift away into oblivion.

Hmm.

You can close your eyes now.

Or perhaps they simply got lost.

BIRDSONG

WATER RUNS NEARBY

Gary!

He's still there.

What's he doing?

Just sitting there doing nothing.

He's an old man. That's what old men do.

No good use to anyone.

Call the police. I'm not calling the police.

Please! I've called the police.

They say he's not bothering anyone.

He's bothering me.

Oh...

So, Edith Bausch has been dead for three months?

At least. You're certain?

Absolutely certain.

That doesn't make any sense, does it?

I mean, nothing really makes much sense,

but this definitely doesn't make any sense.

Her obituary was posted online three months ago.

Why wasn't the death registered?

The care home was told she died elsewhere.

Yeah, by a grandson that may not exist.

The care home believe she died in a hospital,

therefore she's their responsibility.

If the death isn't registered,

her pension and any other benefits are still paid.

So they killed her for the benefits?

There's no obvious sign of third-party involvement

before her death.

What about the acid? She was already dead.

Someone walked her into the cave.

And left her there.

Who?

Her grandson?

VEHICLE APPROACHES

POLICE OFFICER: Mr Dawson?

Mr Dawson, did you hear me?

Why are you sitting out here?

I'm waiting for my friend Gloria to come home.

OFFICER SIGHS Mr Dawson...

..your friend doesn't live here.

Since when?

Since now.

Mr Dawson, when was the last time you saw Gloria?

Two...

..weeks. Three.

Three. Yeah. Three weeks. I think.

Yes. Three.

What did she say to you?

What did she say?

To me?

I love you.

The last... thing.

Love you.

She doesn't live there any more.

Gary and Lauren Baxter live there.

Mr Dawson, you're scaring them.

I'm scaring them? I know you don't mean to.

She wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.

She wouldn't do that to me.

Go home, Mr Dawson.

Go home.

Unidentified male.

White. 70 to 90 years old.

Damage to the face and body appears to have been a result

of animal activity.

DI FLYNN: An animal bit his face?

Most likely bird and rodent, yes. Postmortem.

And you can tell that, can you?

Yep. You can tell.

You look to see if the body has responded to the injury.

And if there's no healing response,

then you can conclude that death had already occurred.

At first sight, I thought that

the teeth marks on the foot were likely to be a fox's.

But I think, based on the damage,

it is more likely to be a larger animal.

Part of the right shin and foot were found separate

to the rest of the body.

I think, from the teeth marks, it could be a wild boar.

They actually do have wild boar in that particular forest.

I hope I've retrieved enough material

to allow for an analysis of saliva for serological testing

and cellular content.

A specific genetic profile from the saliva

could help identify the unknown animal.

Have you examined the second body?

Not yet.

Is there any evidence of animal interference on that body?

Not that I noticed at the scene of the crime.

Why not?

I don't know.

Have we got any further with identification?

DNA and fingerprints aren't on the database.

Yeah, there's no matches on an image search either.

Any reports of a missing couple?

Not that we're aware of, no.

Maybe they didn't want to be found.

Perhaps they were a couple

who wanted to go everywhere together.

Do we know how he died?

I believe he died of hypothermia.

Your body shuts down, you lose consciousness.

Go to sleep, never wake up. By accident, or did he just,

you know, sort of let himself die?

He might not have known what he was doing.

He had Lyme disease.

Tested positive via Western blot.

Nine out of ten bands.

Lyme disease has been linked to dementia.

Not proven.

Well, there is a school of thought

that there's a causal relationship.

The Oxford study says there's no link.

And some doctors don't view the Oxford study as definitive.

Lyme disease is a multi-system disorder.

It can affect many of the system's organs -

the skin, joints, heart.

It's a demyelinating disorder that has been associated with

neurodegenerative brain disease and dementia.

John Doe's amygdala and spinal cord

were PCR-positive for B burgdorferi DNA,

and an intact B burgdorferi spirochete was found in tissue

of the spinal cord.

Borrelia burgdorferi is a pathogenic spirochete

responsible for Lyme disease.

Well, you're signing the postmortem.

Thank you.

I've also sent blood for genetic testing.

I believe, based on the lesions,

that neurodegeneration, dementia, is involved,

irrespective of the cause.

Right. So, good. So, he...

..became disoriented, got lost

and he fell asleep and then he died?

I might think that...

..if there wasn't another body.

I don't know what to think.

This one was also on my shortlist.

Uh-huh.

Hmm.

Nah. I don't think so. I'm not feeling it.

Not feeling it? No.

Well, take a look at this one.

Ex-police officer. Good training.

Read her cover letter. Very keen.

She was on top of my shortlist.

Hmm.

I don't think so.

Too keen.

Too keen.

Oh, no. No, definitely not my favourite.

Not sure she's up to it,

and I don't think she'd get on with you.

Hmm. Looks interesting.

I think I should see her.

Suit yourself.

Unfortunately, there is no match on the DNA database.

What, then?

Not surprising, is it?

Not that big a database, relatively speaking,

and his age makes it even less likely.

Why less likely?

The National DNA Database was started in 1995.

If he's 80 now, he would have been 50 then.

Only 5% of arrests occur among men over 50.

Of course, I'm sure you know that.

Course. I'd look at his health.

Narrow the field.

Does he have any long-term health conditions?

He has Lyme disease.

Lyme disease.

Good.

Why good?

Relatively rare.

There's only 1,500 to 2,000 cases of Lyme disease a year.

His age, combined with the Lyme disease,

creates a great limiting factor.

There are not going to be many 80-year-olds with Lyme disease.

I'd get the list from the NHS and start calling.

Could be hundreds.

We'd start in an area near where we found the body

and then work outwards.

Radius of five miles, radius of ten miles,

20 miles, so on.

SHE LAUGHS We'd find him.

Cool.

Um...

JACK CLEARS HIS THROAT

Another hypothetical...

Two bodies found together.

Urban? Rural?

Rural. Outdoors?

Yeah. One has been disturbed by animals,

partially eaten. The other hasn't.

Can you explain it?

Contamination.

Either the eaten body had a foreign substance on it

that made it attractive to the animals,

or the uneaten body had a substance on it

that made it unappetising.

What made you want to do forensics?

I went to a lecture given by Clarissa Mullery,

and I listened to her and I thought, "I want to do that."

Actually, it was more than that. I said to myself,

"I can do that."

She was a bit of a hero.

Hello, Miss Brooks.

Oh, my God!

Harriet Maven.

I just have one small question for you.

Chichester Psalms?

Leonard Bernstein.

HAMMERING ON DOOR

Damn.

DOOR OPENS

Hello, Mr Dawson.

What are you doing here?

Are you going to invite us in?

Please, come in.

DOOR CLOSES

I've just made myself a cup of tea. Would you like one?

That would be very kind.

Oh...

Mr Dawson?

As some people get older, they...

They what?

Lose some of their...

..functions.

Functions?!

I'm not a doctor.

Clearly not!

Can I help you find something?

My tea!

I put down my tea somewhere.

Memory, hearing, eyesight...

It's normal.

Yes, for some people, some functions.

We want you to get the support you need.

I don't need support! I'm fine.

Gloria Mead is my friend.

I-I haven't heard from her.

I think she's missing. How do I report her missing?

I'll look into it. Maybe they've moved.

If I can find out where they've moved to, I'll let you know.

Is that all right?

Mr Dawson?

Yes, yes. It's fine.

Go.

Those useless set of functions!

We need to get adult social services involved.

Where is my goddamn cup of tea?!

The deceased is a white female,

60 to 80 years old.

SNIFFS AND SIGHS

Nitrazepam.

I'm going to need more than that.

Jane Doe - woman in the woods.

She shows a significant amount of nitrazepam

in her system.

Nitrazepam is

a benzodiazepine.

It's contraindicated for elderly patients.

You keep the patient conscious but compliant,

but it can cause cognitive impairment

and delirium,

and an overdose can cause respiratory failure and death.

Benzodiazepines are metabolised slowly.

She died with them in her system.

She took her own life?

She died of asphyxiation.

I think there was third-party involvement.

Why?

The swabs from the nape of her neck,

underneath her chin, palms of her hands and face

all showed they'd been exposed to

a 3% to 6% sodium hypochlorite,

and small amounts of sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide

and calcium hypochlorite.

Bleach. Yeah.

Trying to destroy evidence?

Drain cleaner.

Bleach.

Old people.

Detective Inspector John Flynn calling.

I'm just calling to see if a pension is still being paid

to an Edith Bausch.

No. Before you ask,

no, I don't have her National Insurance number, no.

Well, how many people are called Edith Bausch?

Bausch.

B...

No, Bausch. B-A-U...

We're delighted to have you with us, Kit.

Morning!

Dr Alexander,

can I introduce Kit Brooks?

So nice to meet you, Dr...? Nikki.

Dr Nikki. Just Nikki.

Just checking!

I love the shirt. Oh, thanks.

And the hair. Beautiful hair.

That's kind.

Can I be you? LAUGHTER

Hi. Jack Hodgson.

Hi. Kit.

Good to meet you in person.

They made you in extra large!

Ha.

I heard you're a couple.

Oh.

Is it true? Yes.

Are you sure I can't be you?

Where do you want me?

Well, let's move on, then, get started.

Identification of the couple in the woods?

That'd be great.

The bloke had Lyme disease? Yes.

I'm on it.

DI FLYNN: Apparently,

you hold a bank account in her name

and you receive her pension benefit.

Yes, I can see that's correct.

There's been a withdrawal recently.

Has there been any other activity in that account, then?

Where in her mouth?

Lower right between 27 and 28.

ASSISTANT: How much money do we spend keeping you alive?

WORKMAN: You've buggered our future, old man.

ASSISTANT: All the money's gone.

Why are you in my house?

WORKMAN: There are no houses left, you greedy bastard.

Who are you?

MAN: You stole my wife.

You had gone.

I was still alive!

You aren't a person any more, Charles.

You weren't a person any more.

You weren't.

ASSISTANT: He's gone.

Conscious but compliant.

A day in the life at Cherry Hill.

We keep him like this and take him for a drive tonight.

How long does it last?

We'll have to top him up.

OVERLAPPING VOICES: Would you like a cup of tea?

Oh.

Yes, please. No sugar.

No more sugar for you. You had all the sugar.

BENJAMIN: No sugar.

Yeah, one old man living in this big house.

There's a housing crisis, in't there? Eh?

People have nowhere to live.

I hoped Covid was gonna sort this.

No... Sit down.

That's it. That's it.

Oh, here we go.

DI Flynn. Hi.

Jack Hodgson. Hi.

Would you like to follow me? Yeah.

Her pension money comes in as normal from the DWP,

then sweeps into another account.

To which bank?

I'll just check the sort code.

It's an online bank.

Who's named on the account?

I don't have that information.

Who's named on the account you hold?

Signatories? Hmm.

Edith Bausch, of course.

And...

..Oscar Zoroaster Diggs, her grandson.

DI FLYNN: Do you have a home address for that?

Yeah.

Oscar...

How can I help you?

We're looking for Edith Bausch's house.

She had a house?

Yeah, apparently.

How's that going for you?

We've found it.

I don't know anything about this.

I've lived here three years. I pay my bills.

How did you find the property?

Online.

There was an online listing on the notice board at work.

There's a few of them, ones that colleagues recommend.

Have you met your landlord?

Who did you rent the property from?

Here.

Here's my agreement.

It's with NXG Properties.

I pay by direct debit.

Sorry.

Anything? Yeah.

Grandson's name is Oscar Diggs. It's a lead.

Kit?

The map indicates men over 70 years old with Lyme disease

in a radius of 100 miles

I love these walks.

Especially at night. Especially with you.

I never understood that.

I think it's the unknown... calling to us.

I'll always love you, Gloria,

no matter what.

I know it's difficult.

I know you feel you have to take care of Charles.

You don't want to humiliate him.

I'll only come and see you... when you say.

If you need help...

Thank you.

ASSISTANT: What have you done?

Crazy bastard! He tried to kiss me!

He's unconscious.

Now we can't move him.

So? Leave him here.

Someone will find him. So what?

So he can identify us, can't he?

Not if he's dead.

You gonna help me, then? No, I ain't touching him.

It's all on you, pal.

KIT: There's only one

we haven't been able to eliminate.

Charles Mead. Lives with Gloria Mead.

Still on the electoral roll,

but his phone's been disconnected.

Maybe he only has a mobile.

You said he was old. Old people tend to keep their landline.

How do you know that?

Cos I kept mine.

You're not old.

She's a good hire!

I've checked for a death notice. Nothing.

Do you have an address for Charles and Gloria Mead?

Yep.

Thanks.

Oh, I need you to follow a money trail for me.

Do you have a name? Oscar Diggs.

I'm on it.

BIRDSONG

Do you mind if we come in for a sec?

Yes, come in. Thank you.

We're actually looking for a Charles Mead.

I don't know him. He doesn't live here.

My wife and I live here.

This is Lauren.

Police.

Hi, Lauren.

Hi. Congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

Excited? Course.

Bit scared. That's normal, I guess.

So, how long have you lived here, then?

Not long. About a week, I guess.

Just getting settled. I showed the rental agreement

to the local policewoman that stopped in.

Is this about the crazy old man?

Crazy old man?

Yeah. Stalking us. I reported it to the local nick.

He won't leave us alone.

Says he is waiting for his friend Gloria to come home.

I think he's lost his mind.

I feel sorry for him.

Yeah, Gary... What? No.

Gary Baxter reported him, yeah?

I'm gonna need an address.

Follow me, yeah?

Wow. Chivalry is not dead. Thanks!

Brrr!

Do you want kids?

What?

Do you want kids?

I saw the way you looked at the pregnant woman.

What way did I look at her?

I've got to put a name on it?

If you're going to bring it up, yeah.

OK. Covetous.

Erm... Gloria Mead.

Hello.

Is Benjamin available, please?

No. I'm afraid he's not here.

When do you think he'll be back?

I think he's... he's moved elsewhere, to be honest.

Um, assisted living. Something like that.

I've just been asked to come and give it a clean,

get it ready for rental.

Do you mind if we come in?

Not at all.

Upholstery's a bit damp.

Thanks, mate.

Well, he certainly left

a lot of his private belongings behind, didn't he?

Yeah. I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that.

Pack 'em up, I guess.

How can we find Mr Dawson?

Dunno. Wish I could help.

Who's hired you?

I work for myself. I'm helping a mate of mine.

He's got a property company.

I don't know, I think they got hired by the council.

I can get him to call you if you like. His name's Bobby.

That'd be helpful. Thank you. No worries.

Thanks.

What did you say your name was, mate?

Matthew Harris.

Matthew Harris. Thanks.

I put in a call to adult social care at the council.

They must have sorted it.

That quick? Write them a good review.

I'll try and find out where the council officers

have placed him. Yeah. Do that.

What's wrong?

I'm clearly rubbish.

OK.

I am willing to be talked out of it.

I think you're fabulous. Thank you.

I mean, you are possibly the greatest crime analyst

in the world ever.

KIT LAUGHS That's kind of you.

Feel better? Much.

Good.

What did you bugger up?

I couldn't follow the money.

She pays into the NXG Properties account online.

JACK: Mm-hm.

It sweeps from one online bank account to another

and then into prepaid credit cards and disappears.

Hmm. The grandson? Oscar Diggs?

Nothing.

There was another name...

Not Oscar? Oscar... Oscar...

Zoro? Zoro?

No, Oscar...

Zoro-aster...?

LAUREN CRIES OUT Lauren!

Lauren!

SHE GROANS Please, look after her. Yeah.

You're going to be all right!

You're going to have a baby.

LAUREN: Thank you.

PARAMEDIC: Well done, Lauren. Oh, God.

Thank you so much. Good luck.

Thank you. It's going to be all right.

Mr Dawson, can you come with me, please?

Am I a bad man?

This way.

WHISPERING VOICE

Gloria lived here.

Find out what happened to her.

Please?

Has no-one told him?

Would you rather hold on to some hope...

..or be told all hope is lost?

JACK EXHALES

You do realise that the owners of this house are dead?

You live here. Did you kill 'em?

No!

Then how...

Then how did you rent the house?

I heard about it. From who?

It was online.

Somebody Lauren knew from work.

And where did she work?

Cherry Hill Care Home.

What was her friend's name?

Eh?

What was her friend's name?

Oscar Diggs!

Oscar Diggs! Can I have a word?

Stop! Police!

Thomas Mayhew, we are arresting you in connection

with the murders of Gloria and Charles Mead

and Edith Bausch. Prove it!

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned

something which you later rely on in court.

Prove it! Anything you do say

may be given in evidence.

Do you understand?

Go on, then.

Prove it.

We will.
