Original subtitles

- Who are we investigating, anyway? - Professor Peter Sachs, MBE.

We're setting up an enquiry

into three of Sachs's cases where time of death was critical.

Every murderer in the country who had Sachs testify against them

will be demanding a retrial.

What case will you be looking at, Harry?

Zoe Adams.

- Why did you dig her up? - If Jeremy didn't kill her, who did?

The truth of the matter is I shouldn't have been here.

Case number two, Neville Anderson,

on trial for the murder of Craig Proctor.

They've dug up Craig's body.

Did you ever see the pictures of what Anderson did to Craig?

When Craig Proctor was killed, I was at home with you.

They're gonna question the evidence Sachs gave us.

Without that, Anderson walks free.

Did anyone see what happened down here?

If they did, they didn't come forward.

What about your witness? He phoned you, didn't he?

- It's Eddie. LLOYD: Then he disappeared.

Where is he, Tom? I'm gonna find him anyway!

So who was he?

A police officer.

Eddie.

Glad you could make it.

Case number three, Brian Morris,

found dead at the bottom of the stairs, July 1996.

Denise Morris, currently serving life for his murder.

I'll come down as often as I can.

Claimed she found him dead when she came back from work

but Sachs' time of death meant that she was in the house at the time.

- Alan? - Yeah?

Look, I got this letter this morning from Mr. Grant.

The solicitor?

I didn't want to bother you about it, but there might be a lot of publicity.

Are you going for another appeal?

No, it's not an appeal.

There's also evidence that the body was moved after death

and received a second blow.

But this is great!

I knew they'd realize it was all a mistake.

How many more cases are we gonna have to dig up

to prove Sachs's incompetence?

Come on, now, say what you really think!

Well, I'm as suspicious of him as you are

but I'd still like to keep an open mind.

Keep it open too wide, and your brains'll fall out.

They've found Eddie Doyle.

- Who? - Our missing witness.

The fact that he was placed inside a chimney breast

has meant that currents of dry air

have prevented bacterial decomposition and putrefaction.

A hairline fracture is evident over the right eye

and into the skull.

I'd estimate that seven or eight teeth have been broken.

As has his nose.

And there's evidence that the ears have been torn...

and burnt.

His right arm has been broken in three places.

There's a colored copper electrical wire.

It's been attached to both wrists,

suggesting that the arms were tied together.

A similar wire has been tied around both ankles, indicating...

He was a close friend?

We worked together.

I ran the show and he was operating undercover.

This isn't your fault, you know.

Katie, hurry up.

I don't know what she does in there.

They found Eddie Doyle's body.

- When? - Today.

Someone must've told 'em.

That's good, isn't it?

For us?

- You told them? - No, I...

- Lisa! - Aah! Aah! Get off me!

I thought you weren't like him!

- Look, Lisa, I wouldn't hurt you. - You hurt me!

- Did you tell 'em? - I thought they were gonna let Nev out!

What else was I meant to do?

Tom, hold me.

It's all right. Shh, shh, shh.

All right, it's okay.

What are you gonna get from him, I wonder?

Apart from some bloody awful disease.

The body of Brian Morris, interred six years ago.

In the latter stages of decomposition.

Go in through there and sign in, please.

Alan, what are you doing back here?

- They've dug up Dad's body. - Yes, I know.

- I'm not going to uni this week. - What are you talking about?

If Sachs made one mistake, he probably made a whole lot more.

Alan, you can't not go to university.

They're going back to look at the old house again.

- Who are? - I want to be there.

Secondary fissures run into the surrounding bone,

mainly away from the direction of the force

indicating from which direction the blow has been struck.

Very good. I bet Sachs was teaching when he did this postmortem.

You can't go back. It'll be too upsetting.

No, it won't. I've been saying you were innocent for years.

Now at last I'm gonna be proved right.

Did Brian Morris lose an eye in his attack?

No.

According to these photographs,

from the original postmortem,

both eyes were intact.

And your point is?

What's this doing here, then?

Mortician's wax.

- Thomas Anderson. - What do you want with him?

- Where is he? - I don't know.

I have a warrant to search these premises.

Katie! Oh, for God's sake.

Lisa Roberts, I'm arresting you on suspicion

of being concerned in the death of Edward Doyle,

on or about 17th March 2003...

- What are you doing? Where are you going? - Just to answer a few questions.

Something which you later rely on in court.

I'm not asking you to fix it, just to use a little muscle.

The Home Office can't be seen to influence the outcome of a murder trial.

- We've got new evidence. - Which is?

Eddie Doyle's body. We found it in a house

that Anderson renovated. He'd been tortured.

- He was undercover on the man. - All circumstantial.

I know! That's why I'm trying to get your help!

Just give us time to find the evidence we need.

We all deeply regret the loss of any serving police officer.

But, Colin, you mustn't get this out of proportion.

- He was just one man. - Mr. Gibbs?

Sachs could affect hundreds. You'll have to excuse me.

You want this trial to collapse, don't you?

So you can keep Sachs under pressure!

Wait here.

15 Crompton Road!

- What about it? - You worked there.

Five, six months ago. Renovation job.

Yeah, maybe.

Can we check your books, perhaps?

- I think that one's cash in hand. - Undeclared income, Tom.

You and Nev, was it?

If you want to question me, you can do it in my solicitor's presence.

The witness who saw your brother pursuing Craig

was bricked up behind the fireplace.

Nice bit of plastering, Tom.

You see the body, did you? Saw what your brother did?

I assume it was Nev that knocked his teeth out,

burnt holes in him, ripped his skin with wire?

What do you want from me, eh?

Nev was just a laborer, a mixer. A carrier.

But you, Tom,

you're the artist, the fixer...

The smoother, the finisher.

I've got nothing to say.

"You telling me about his affair

only confirmed what I have known for some years."

This is the part that hurt poor Enid so much.

"I did my best, but I have failed Jeremy as a wife,

"I have failed you and Dad as a daughter,

"and now I'm going to fail God.

"Please try to forgive me.

"Your loving daughter, Zoe."

You lose a child,

you bury her in newly consecrated ground,

you imagine that, like Christ, her soul is risen, that she's with God.

That was the only comfort afforded to me, but now...

I wanted to believe she'd been murdered, taken from us.

But, no, she killed herself.

She asks for forgiveness.

I know.

I was wrong about Jeremy.

It's time to ask for his forgiveness.

That's what Enid wanted.

I wonder if I could ask Professor Sachs to help me.

I know he's very busy.

- To do what, exactly? - Speak to Jeremy.

I went to see him recently. I could go again.

Would you?

Showing Lisa Roberts a note that was found on my car

with the words "Eddie Doyle, 15 Crompton Road" written on it.

- Do you recognize it, Lisa? - Never seen it before.

Do you know anyone called Eddie Doyle?

No.

Does your boyfriend Neville Anderson know Eddie Doyle?

You'll have to ask him.

Does his brother Tom Anderson know Eddie Doyle?

- There's no need to answer. - Ask him.

I have, as it happens.

The night that Proctor was murdered, you went to A&E.

Neville Anderson was taken to Brentford Police Station,

where he spent the night.

What happened when he came out?

I've told you this. He was in bed all day.

- Did you have sex with him? - Don't answer that.

- Did it turn you on? - This is inappropriate!

Shut up!

Does Nev know about you and Tom?

Showing Lisa Roberts a photograph of Proctor taken four days ago.

That's very good. Are you gonna draw him?

Bad news, I'm afraid.

The prosecution have decided not to call Professor Sachs

in the Neville Anderson case.

What'll happen to his evidence on time of death?

We're gonna ask for an adjournment

but the defense, he'll almost certainly ask for Anderson to be set free.

But there's more to the case than just time of death.

Well, it's all circumstantial, isn't it?

I mean, we know he did it. Lisa knows he did it.

Probably even the jury knows he did it.

But without Sachs' evidence, we can't convict.

What about Eddie Doyle?

Well, Doyle, he was almost certainly killed

cos he witnessed Proctor's murder.

Question is when?

I mean, Anderson, he was in custody within 24 hours.

If we could prove that Doyle was murdered before Anderson was arrested...

Doyle's been dead for seven months.

We'd be lucky if we can get his time of death within a week.

We need it down to a day.

Zoe's father wants me to help him patch things up with Jeremy.

- It's not your responsibility, is it? - Wife's just died.

He's just discovered that his daughter wasn't murdered, but commits suicide.

- He needs someone. - Why you?

- You ready? - Yeah.

What do you know about the Quadrant Foundation?

Not much. Er... medical research.

Transplant technology. That kind of thing.

Does Sachs say anything about them in his book?

I don't know. Why?

According to this website, they're being investigated in the United States

for the illegal import and export of human organs.

What's that got to do with Sachs?

I just tapped in his name and up came all this stuff about Quadrant.

I think I might give him a ring later on.

We know Sachs took samples.

That just proves he was doing a very thorough job,

not that he was doing anything crooked with Quadrant.

Professor Ryan!

Oh, this is an unexpected surprise.

- Didn't you get my message? - No.

Mind you, you know what these places are like.

So, have you come to see Peter? He's giving a lecture in the library.

- I did ring. - Don't worry.

I'm sure he won't mind you disturbing him.

It's just on the other side of the quad.

Now, most of you have got all of these right,

which is very impressive.

So, who can answer me this one?

Two plus two equals...

Who can answer me that? Someone?

Anyone? It's not a trick.

- Four. - Very good. The answer is four.

Two plus two equals four.

Now, I hated maths at school.

I'm sure you were all brilliant and had no problems.

A series of sums and a series of fixed answers.

This simple equation, the way it is written,

the answer it provokes, is dangerous,

and why is it dangerous?

Because all it requires is a rigid method of thinking.

You're either right or wrong. Pass or fail.

So, um... what if I ask you this?

Four equals...

Again, it's not a trick.

Professor Ryan?

- Infinity. - Brilliant.

There are an infinite number of possibilities.

Two plus two. Three plus one.

10 minus six. A 100 divided by 25

The work we do here is not about answers.

It is about questions. It is about possibilities.

It is about examining what we do and challenging it.

Essentially, we are not looking for the right answers,

but searching for the right questions.

See you in a minute.

- Excuse me. Are are you Dr. Dalton? - Yes.

Hi, I'm Alan Morris.

Can I come in with you?

Well, what for?

It was Professor Sachs's evidence that helped convict my mother.

She didn't do it.

I want to know what happened in there.

- Bye. - Sir.

Time of death.

- What about it? - Is that the right question?

Well, that's the question I've been asking for the last 30 years.

With Craig Proctor, Brian Morris, Zoe Adams,

you seem to have come up with some precise answers.

And I stand by them.

- You going to show me how? - Is that why you're here?

Is this one excited colleague sharing a discovery with another excited colleague,

or is it all part of your enquiry?

Does it make a difference?

I want to share this with you, Sam, because I trust you

and I feel you'll understand what I'm trying to do.

- Have you got something to hide? - Hide? Oh, no, no, no.

Protect? Yes.

- A method of estimating time of death? - Not estimating.

Pinpointing.

So, one excited colleague to another?

Is that a deal?

Maybe it's best if you stay out here.

That's just what my mum said.

There's been a terrible accident so I want you to wait out here.

I came home from school. She was inside. She said there'd been an accident.

It's all right, the ambulance is on its way.

- She told you it had just happened? - No, that an ambulance was on its way.

You didn't go in? You didn't see your father?

This is the first time I've been back here.

Mum!

It was the day after her birthday.

- Darling! - I'd given her flowers.

What have you been told about how your father died?

That my mother murdered him.

- Happy birthday. - Hmm.

- You don't believe that? - No, she came home, she found him dead.

She wouldn't lie to me.

Let's take a look, shall we?

- How can the college afford all this? - Oh, they can't.

Various big-money corporations help out.

In return for what?

The days of the philanthropist are over, if they ever existed.

So why are you here?

To see your work, one excited colleague to another.

So why are you here?

Eddie Doyle. He was found earlier today.

It's believed he witnessed Anderson murdering Craig Proctor,

and was then murdered himself.

- By Anderson? - Is the question.

- And you've come to me for an answer? - I need time of death.

A more precise one than you are capable of giving, yourself?

Yes.

Well, this method I've been using is still in its embryonic stage.

But you've already used it on at least five cases?

Well, wouldn't you have done?

- No, I wouldn't. - Oh.

I can give you an exact time of death on Eddie Doyle.

So how do I substantiate it?

I saw what Anderson did to Craig Proctor.

Now, Anderson has a girlfriend. Am I right?

Yes.

Lisa, and a daughter.

And he attacked Lisa the same night that he murdered Craig Proctor.

In a few years' time, this method will be common practice

and we'll be wondering what all the fuss was about.

All I need is a sample from the body.

I'm not sure I can do that.

Then Anderson walks free.

According to your mother, this is where she found him.

She told the police she thought he'd fallen down the stairs.

The evidence suggests

that he was hit on the front of his head with a heavy object.

But you can get those kind of injuries from falling downstairs.

There were two wounds to his head, one that killed him

and one that was inflicted later.

That's an opinion, not a fact. I've read all the court papers.

Blood smears on the stairs and in the front room

suggest that the body was moved.

- It was locked. - Hm?

That door.

Was it? Why?

I don't know.

What does she want?

Would you mind if I came in for a minute?

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hello.

- Doreen, hang on a minute. - Will you read to me?

All right.

- Are these all yours? - Yeah.

- Is this your dad? - In jail.

It's not like that really. He gets to wear his own clothes and that.

- You must miss him. - Course I do.

- This is Mum. - Oh, that's lovely.

- Is she always as happy as this? - Not always.

Were you awake the night she had her accident?

Mum came home, and she was crying.

Then I heard Dad. He had a shower.

At two in the morning?

Is that where she had her accident, in the bathroom?

Dad doesn't like it when other men look at Mum.

But what can she do?

She's really pretty.

Yes, she is.

I done this one for you.

Are you sure?

You carry on reading your book, sweetheart.

I'll be back to tuck you in.

Thanks.

That was Tom's mother on the phone.

They want to hold him overnight on charges of conspiracy to murder.

But they've got no real evidence.

Did you know about Eddie Doyle?

DI Lloyd thinks you might have put a note under his windscreen.

Shows how stupid he is.

- Has Neville ever hurt Katie? - Course he hasn't! He's not an animal!

If he had anything to do with the injuries on Eddie Doyle's body,

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

I've done all I can. It is not up to me any more.

Have a nice day now.

Sam? Sam?

What am I looking at? Roosevelt University, Florida?

Sachs's department at Oxford and the medical department at Roosevelt...

Have a big exchange program. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, but did you also know that the laboratory at Roosevelt...

Is part funded by the Quadrant Foundation.

Whom I have just phoned,

and they are making out that they have never heard of him.

Proving what exactly?

Something is not right.

- What about the mortician's wax? - What about it?

I found some in Brian Morris. You found some in Craig Proctor.

Neither had lost an eye.

- So what's it doing there? - I don't know.

- That's it. - What?

In the video.

In Sachs's postmortem.

Alice must have brought something like this in with her.

- What is this? - It's for collecting samples.

Did Sachs give it to you?

It's a new method of transporting and preserving tissue samples.

- So what's the holding solution? - I'm not sure.

- What exactly... - Leo.

Just leave it with me, OK?

Did Neville ever hurt Katie? LLOYD: We know he did it.

Lisa knows he did it. LISA: He's not an animal!

Probably the jury knows he did it.

It's not up to me any more!

All I need is a sample from the body.

- I'm not sure I can do that. - Then Anderson walks free.

You've been told about this letter and...

And the fact that Enid saw me that morning.

How nice of her to finally tell someone!

Did she have any idea what I've been going through in here?

She blamed you for Zoe's death.

Was it me that told her about the affair?

Was it me that screwed her up and meant that

she wasn't able to hold down a relationship?

I don't know.

But Laurence has asked me to speak to you.

What does he want to do? Blame me for Enid's death as well?

- No, he wants to forgive you. - He wants to forgive me?

What have I done?

To forgive and be forgiven.

I went back to the old house.

It's so weird being back there.

I remember that the dining room door was locked, but I don't know why.

I'm going to change my plea.

- What do you mean? - I'm going to tell them the truth.

I did kill your father.

- But... but you didn't. - Yes, I did.

I lied.

To you, to the police, to everyone.

I didn't want people to think you were bad just because of what I'd done.

You hit him?

Yes.

- Twice? - Yes.

- You killed him and then you moved him? - That's why the door was locked.

What kind of a mother...

I wanted to make it look like an accident.

I panicked.

All these years, I've believed you were innocent.

How can you do this to me?

I understand you've changed your plea, Mrs. Morris?

Can I ask why?

I've lived with it for too long.

There was every chance of your case being reviewed.

Have you ever had to live with a lie?

Well, not as serious as murder, no.

And anyway, Alan is old enough now to know the truth.

Professor Sachs stated at your trial that

Brian had been killed between 11 and midnight.

He came home around 11.

- Well, where is he? - No, Brian, he's only a child!

I was used to dealing with him, but that night I...

I really thought he was going to hurt Alan.

- Don't you touch him! - Just try and stop me!

No! Brian!

No, Brian! No!

I helped him up.

He wasn't dead then?

Not then.

He collapsed and... I just left him there.

When did you move him?

Alan went to school as normal.

And I went to work.

And I knew Brian's body was in the dining room

but...

part of me thought it hadn't happened, that...

When I came home, his body wouldn't be there.

He wouldn't be dead.

But when I did get back,

there he was.

I thought I'd try and make it look like an accident.

So I dragged him back into the hall.

And...

I slammed his head against the hall table.

Oh!

So when... when you first hit Brian,

he was going up the stairs away from you?

I didn't mean to kill him.

- What did he say? - He was upset, understandably.

He's every right to be.

Did you ask if I could see him?

- It's gonna take some time, Laurence. - I know.

But I want to make it right with him.

You and Professor Sachs have been very kind. I appreciate it.

When he was dealing with Zoe,

we asked him to look after her as much as he could.

The gun had done such awful damage.

He didn't ever ask if he could take any samples or anything from Zoe, did he?

He asked. We said no.

He was fine about it.

You're not happy about something?

I want to go back to the house.

Osbourne.

Superintendent, it's Dr. Cunningham.

I wonder if you could help me find a consent form.

The Anderson trial's collapsed.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

There still might be something we can do.

Yeah, we can pray for a miracle.

What time is he being released?

Neville Anderson's available for work from two o'clock today.

That's great. Thanks for letting us know.

Mum?

Your dad's coming home.

Great! Tom, Dad's coming home!

Yes!

What are we gonna do?

What else can we do? We'll go and pick him up.

I thought you were gonna phone.

Eddie Doyle died between nine and ten on the morning of the 17th of March.

Anderson was arrested for Craig Proctor's murder on the 18th.

It means that Anderson could have killed Eddie Doyle.

Certainly enough for the police to detain him.

If I tell them.

And why wouldn't you?

This information is very dangerous.

It has the power to stop Neville Anderson from walking the streets,

and killing again.

Anderson.

Well, I have to say that it's been a great pleasure doing business with you.

When's he coming out?

- Won't be long now. - Elephant juice.

- What? - Nothing.

What's elephant juice?

It's just Tom being stupid.

Open sesame!

- Dad! - Hey.

Give your dad a hug.

- Stand still! - What's going on?

Neville Anderson...

I'm arresting you for the murder of Eddie Doyle on the 17th of March 2003.

- You do not have to say anything... - Bastards!

A police spokesman has announced the arrest of a man...

- if you not mention when questioned. - The murder of Constable Edward Doyle...

- Get off me! - Whose body was discovered yesterday

after a seven-month investigation into his disappearance.

Anything you do say...

Doyle was believed to have been working

on a drugs enquiry involving Neville Anderson,

who was due for release from prison today

following the surprise collapse of his trial...

for the murder of Craig Proctor.

How did they know that the body was in there?

Who else knew about it?

They found a body but they don't know who killed him.

Do you reckon Lisa told them?

Why would she do that?

You see, I still don't get why you did it.

- He saw me with Craig Proctor. - But why go after Proctor?

Because you told me that he was sending those messages to Lisa.

I didn't think you'd kill him.

Who says I killed Eddie Doyle?

Another pathologist, Professor Ryan.

She read me a story.

I drew you another picture.

- At least somebody loves me. - Elephant juice.

What?

That's what you say when you love someone.

What are you talking about?

If you say "Elephant juice," it looks like you're saying "I love you." Watch.

Come on, slowcoach.

At last, we're safe.

Mmm.

- Thanks. - Dr. Dalton.

- I've just been to see your mother. - She's changed her plea.

Yeah, I know. Keep the change.

You believe everything and then it's like...

She's been lying to me all this time.

- I'm not convinced that she has been. - No, no, she's told me.

It could be the evidence is contradictory

What does that mean?

Your mother said she was in the hallway

when she attacked your father as he was going up the stairs.

Now, if you're your father and I'm your mother...

- You all right with this? - Yeah.

She says she grabbed the vase off the table

and she hit your father on the back of his head.

Only we know from the way that your father's skull fractured

that the blow must have landed on the front of his head.

The vase wasn't there.

How do you mean?

It was Mum's birthday.

I bought her some flowers

and she put them in a vase on the upstairs landing.

Alan?

He was walking up the stairs towards me.

Brian, don't!

- Your father? - Brian, don't! Leave him alone!

I heard them from my bedroom.

- He's only a child! - Arguing and shouting.

It was about me.

No, don't touch him!

Then they were near the top of the stairs.

And then...

Please, Brian! He's asleep!

- I've warned him about this before! - Leave him alone!

- Will you get off me? - Please, Brian!

Go on. DENISE: Please, Brian!

No!

I can see him.

Falling away from me.

Alan!

It's okay.

It was me. I killed him.

Good news, Jeremy.

The appeal committee have looked at your case,

and they are unanimous in finding your conviction unsafe.

So we have some forms for you to fill in and sign,

and after that you're free to go.

Yeah.

I killed Craig Proctor.

Aah!

Eddie Doyle saw me.

So I had to kill him too.

You know who helped me.

Your brother Tom.

He's a good plasterer is Tom, you know.

You'll stand by this in court?

I can't wait.

You asked me for Laurence Parkin's consent form.

You found it?

Now, what are you looking for?

Exactly this. Thank you.

You used an untried method to prove time of death?

Sachs did, yes.

What if what Sachs has been doing is found to be unethical?

We know from the cases we've been looking at

that he was right about time of death.

And what does he do exactly to get these magical results?

It's something to do with eye tissues.

He analyzes the amount of potassium in the eye fluid.

After death, potassium in the red blood cells breaks down

and then passes into the vitreous fluid.

This method has been used before. There's always a problem...

Sachs has developed a new holding chemical

that preserves the eye for a lot longer.

But it still hasn't been tested or published.

No, but it works.

How can a defense barrister cross-examine Sachs

if they don't know how he arrived at his conclusions?

Okay, what would you have done in my position?

Osbourne has got me a copy of the organ consent form

filled in by Laurence Parkin.

- He gave permission? - No, he didn't.

Sachs also got samples from Quadrant. They didn't get consent either.

You used samples supplied to you by the Quadrant Foundation?

Yes, I told you I did.

Do you know from whom they obtained those samples?

I also said the days of the philanthropists...

From children mostly.

Do the parents know that parts of their dead children

are being used in this way?

I'm sure official permission was sought.

You said that when you open up a war grave,

you treat each victim as an individual.

- With a history. - Yes.

And yet you cannibalize human organs

without compunction wherever they're from.

Whatever their history.

Every care is taken to ensure consent is obtained before any organ is used.

Laurence Parkin said no.

- I wasn't aware of that. - Somebody forged his signature.

If you think that had anything to do with me...

You knew he said no. You knew how he felt about Zoe.

I accept a mistake has been made.

The mistake...

has been mine.

It's all very well opening a watch to find out how it works.

But when it comes to a human being...

Why didn't you tell them it was me?

You were just a child.

A little boy trying to protect his mum.

You've been in here all of this time,

because of me.

How can you ever forgive me?

How can you forgive me?

Jeremy.

Thank you for allowing me to meet you.

Not much luggage, then?

I'm glad you're here.

At last, my report on Zoe Adams. Without doubt, my finest work to date.

- Thanks. - And there's the report on Brian Morris.

Excellent.

- I've made some recommendations. - So have I.

For what he did to Zoe Adams, he should be disciplined.

He should be struck off.

There should be a full investigation into his work at the college

and his links with the Quadrant Foundation.

Professor Ryan, I wonder if we might have a word.

I was about to collate our reports and send them to you.

Maybe I can save you the trouble.

Professor Sachs has decided it's in his best interests

to remove his name from the list of Home Office pathologists.

You mean you've kicked him off it?

He's leaving Oxford

and he's taking up a professorship at the Roosevelt University in Florida.

What action will you be taking against him?

I wouldn't want to prejudge your report, Professor.

Sachs has misled the courts,

his research methods have proved to be unethical...

All those points will be taken into consideration...

Have you any idea what some people have been through during this enquiry?

Shall we?

What I'm keen to avoid, as we all are,

is more families having to go through the trauma of exhumations.

And the courts collapsing under the weight of people demanding a retrial

because of Peter Sachs's evidence.

As far as I'm aware, Professor Sachs

was accurate in each time of death.

But the means he used to get those results...

Professor Sachs resigned because he felt he'd made a mistake.

I suggest we draw a line under it.

Although I look forward to reading your report with great anticipation.

Tom's go.

Left hand, yellow.

Supposed to... Tom!

Tom!

- What do you want? - Tom Anderson.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of being involved with the murder of Eddie Doyle.

- You do not have to say anything... - You're gonna be all right.

He'll be all right. Neville's looking forward

to having his little brother join him.

You knew about this?

If it's any consolation,

Gibbs had this enquiry sewn up before we even started.

We were the muscle by which Sachs could be levered out.

Ah, come on, what do you expect? It's not that bad.

Sachs has gone. Neville Anderson, he's got life.

And those who were wrongly convicted, they'll be set free.

Now I know how you made Detective Superintendent.

And why you're still a butcher.

I thought, instead of burying Zoe again,

that we should have her cremated.

Yes.

I'd much prefer that.

Good.

You remember how fond of those woods she was?

It was the first place she took me.

Did she show you where I built her tree house?

It was destroyed in the great storm.

She was so upset.

So angry with the wind and rain.

You should have seen her.

I promised I'd rebuild it for her.

It wasn't the same.

I tried and failed.

Nothing's the same.

You took her away,

and no matter how hard I've tried...

Laurence, what are you...

- Laurence, don't. - I want to forgive you, but I can't.

No!

I liked his suit.

- Who, Gibbs? - Mm.

I could never wear a suit like that.

- Why not? - Wouldn't fit me for a start.

Mm-hm! Ah, the jokes have started.

- What time is it? - Drink time.

I think so. Sam?

What would happen if our report was accidentally published on the internet?

You wouldn't do that, would you?

I wouldn't put anything past her.
