[ Beeping ]

DR. ELLESMERE: And just remember
that medical center

that I told you about.

Okay.

I told them to tell you
I was busy.

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

It's been cleared
by your chief executive.

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?

[ Scoffs ]

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.

That 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?

STONE: 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 Daniel
Whistler or Christopher Maleva.

And how do you
explain him knowing

precise details
of those murders?

I can't yet.

I think maybe 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 e-mail?

No, actually, we can't.

Sean!
Where were you?

I tried calling.

Guys!

Cole Eli's been taken
into custody.

RUTH:
What for?

PRIOR:
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 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, okay, yes,
I do feel guilty.

I meant in general.

He's a suspect until he's not.

[ Lock clicking ]

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.

COLE:
I don't want to talk!

I want to go now!

Now, I know my law.

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

'cause 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?

STONE:
Coleridge Mather told us

that your dad had to take
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 interest
to be specific.

May, I reckon.

Yeah, it was that last week
where I was off college.

Where are his bank statements?

Look, the police have been
through all that, so...

Well, they weren't looking
for a specific date.

I want to know exactly
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...

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...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.

[ Door closes ]

Three nights,
27th of May to the 30th.

Mr. Eli's last visit, Room 114.

-How many keys issued?
-MAN: One.

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

which is both commendable
and rare

amongst unaccompanied
male guests in my experience.

I could tell you
a few stories about --

Don't.
Do your rooms have RFID locks?

Yes.

So, you could also tell me

when he re-entered the room
during his stay.

I'll just...

Interesting!

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

He never left the room?

MAN:
For three days.

Maybe I should check
those pay channels again.

STONE:
Tallies with his bill.

Meals from room service,
always for one.

Same on the previous visit.

-You tend to find 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,

checked in to a chain hotel,
and never left his room.

I'm fine, Sean.
You?

What?

RUTH:
So, what was he doing there?

Was Stephen Eli having
an affair?

STONE:
I don't know,

but he only used the phone
in the rooms to call one number.

RUTH: So it wouldn't show
on his mobile records?

Well, 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.

Well, 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?

Well, I'm a trained counselor,

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.

We know 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...

Then confidentiality
doesn't apply.

So, Stephen Eli wasn't here
as a lawyer.

He was here as a patient.

You are going to 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.

But wouldn't
the original investigation

have checked
all his medical 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.

Okay, 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.

RUTH:
Thank you so much.

PRIOR:
Yeah, no problem.

Um, do you fancy
getting something to eat?

Oh, uh, actually...

It's not a proposal, Ruth.

I'm just hungry.

I-I can't tonight.
I'm -- I'm sorry.

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

I have responsibilities, Carl.

Um...That's my son.

He's the reason why I'm in a job
that's meant to be 9:00 to 5:00

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, the other I raised
as mine even though she isn't

and was only 10 when me
and their mother split up, so...

I know about responsibilities,
Ruth.

And I really am just hungry.

ADELE: Gabby can't stop talking
about you, you know.

She wants me to buy her
model airplanes now.

How many are found?

I mean, in your work
when someone goes missing,

how often are they found?

Of the voluntarily missing

or do you also mean 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?

[ Laughs ]

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?

-MAGGIE: Good day?
-RUTH: Ugh.

A telling-off, an encounter
with a troubled teenager,

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

Oh.

It all 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.

BRYAN:
Oh, and don't ask her anything

about the cool detective who
asked her out in the car park,

because she doesn't want to 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.

Well, 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 going to watch
that documentary

about surgical blunders.

We're 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.

EAMONN:
Um, Col?

Here you go, then.
See you Thursday.

Thank you.

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

Okay.

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.

STONE:
So had Daniel Whistler.

What?

What on earth?

Kris Malkin.

Christopher Maleva's alias.

That's the pattern.

The mentally ill are the target,
and this is the 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?

STONE:
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 as well?
-EAMONN: What exactly is this?

Getting a bit defensive,
aren't we?

Oh, do you want to know why?

-We do.
-Yes.

EAMONN:
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 of the people
he confessed to killing

were treated for mental
disorders at your clinic.

And you've been
deliberately obstructive.

Every time
a schizophrenic 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.

[ Knock on door ]

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 apologize 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,
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.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Why couldn't he tell me?

I can understand
him keeping it from work.

He works 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.

[ Exhales sharply ]

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.

WOMAN:
Sir.

His name's Colin Breen.

I know.

He's only been dead a few hours.

He was carrying
antipsychotic meds,

and as you can see,
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.

Which is why 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.

BALE:
Okay, 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?

[ Beep ]

According to Crowley,

there wasn't a single visitor
logged to Leonard Vance

in the period he made
those first confessions.

Maybe there 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-hmm.

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?

STONE:
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?

Oh, 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.

[ Door closes ]

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.

[ Telephone keys clacking ]

It's me.

I need your help.

[ Door opens ]

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?

MAN:
You don't have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention
when questioned

something which you later
rely on in court.

So, why did you continue
to visit Leonard Vance

after your book was published?

We became friends.

I don't believe you.

Okay, 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 Leonard Vance
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.

[ Sighs ]

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 e-mail

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.

PRIOR:
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 murder
shortly afterwards.

And 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 journalists, 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.

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Pounding ]

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 e-mail
from Stephen Eli

in which he admitted to being a
witness to Whistler's abduction.

RUTH: She said
she was going to Crowley.

STONE: Not there
and not answering her phone.

We're at her house now.

-Get in.
-Boss.

Police!

Anybody home?

RUTH:
Sean?

Sean, what's going on?

-MAN: Anybody here?
-Police!

Clear.

Top's clear, sir.

-RUTH: Sean, can you hear me?
-She's not up there.

Sean!

She's running.

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

Well, the only question that
matters is where she is now.

We've found her phone and keys.

Wherever she's going,

she's not planning
on coming back.

A neighbor said
they saw a cab leaving.

RUTH:
Why not take her car?

PRIOR:
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.

RUTH:
To the in-house pharmacy?

Well, why would Dr. Ellesmere
call the pharmacy

as soon as we left?

Let's be quiet and find out.

-Play it.
-Please.

TOMMY:
Hello?

DR. ELLESMERE:
It's me.

I need your help.

TOMMY: Why?
What's the matter?

-The police have been, Tommy.
-RUTH: Tommy?

I don't know, but they asked
about Leonard's meds.

TOMMY:
Why?

He's the man pushing
the meds trolley.

Shh!

DR. ELLESMERE: What if I made
a mistake with the dosage

-on the day he died?
-TOMMY: You didn't.

-What if I killed him?
-TOMMY: You didn't.

DR. ELLESMERE: With everything
that was going on, I --

Access and opportunity.

I need you
to 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?

TOMMY:
Okay, fine.

Look, just leave it with me.

She isn't running, is she?

Tommy's taken her.

What have you done?

Ugh!

What have you given me?

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

RUTH:
Yeah.

PRIOR: Vehicle description's
been sent out everywhere.

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

Well, he used to be one.

According to
his employment history,

he used to be most things.

RUTH: It was Tommy's car
Stephen recognized.

He identifies his victims,

he 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?

A serious sexual assault
as a child.

I've got a fine for fly tipping.

PRIOR:
So?

Were any of those jobs
in refuse?

How did you know that?

-Landfill?
-PRIOR: Yeah.

Nothing was random.

The quarry where Daniel Whistler
was buried,

the scrubland where
Christopher Maleva was found,

Colin Breen
at the recycling center.

They're all ex-landfill sites.

That's the pattern.

-Jays Lane.
-What's that?

It's the nearest dump site
to Dr. Ellesmere's house.

Ruth, with me!

DR. ELLESMERE:
What's happening, Tommy?

I don't understand.

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

What?

These dangerous men,
these...these violent men.

And 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 going to 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, eh?

With your awards
and your boyfriend's book.

I mean, 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!

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! Tommy!

Tommy!

[ Crying ]

Tommy!

Tommy!

Tommy, no!

Put it down!
Put it down!

[ Siren wailing ]

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.

STONE:
Or a secure hospital.

PRIOR: What difference
does it make to you?

Just tell us
where Stephen Eli is.

Ask Leonard Vance.

Did he tell you?

No.

[ Sighs ]

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, yeah.

Um...

Yeah, I'll bear that in mind.

I know where he is.

I'd like to get the two
from here to here.

All right.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Oh, Ruth.

Sorry, I'm painting.

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

I...I went, so...

What's up?

We found him, Cole.

I'm so sorry.

Mummy is gone.

She's missing.

No.

She -- She can't be.
