Mr. Hickman, Ben Hickman?

What?

Is this your address?

Why you want to know?

Who are you?

Parcel.

All right, mate.

This is Sidney Norris, 20 seconds

before the moment of impact.

A new witness only came forward yesterday.

Apparently their child had been filming

people on his mobile phone all through the journey.

It confirms other statements.

Norris was angry.

Why?

What made him swerve?

Karen Donnelly was the nearest vehicle,

but she was in a different lane, looking 10 meters behind.

Have we got anything on Sidney's car?

Well, it wasn't mechanical failure.

Brake pads could have been newer.

A couple of the tires bit past their sell-by date,

but nothing illegal, nothing dangerous.

What have we got that's new on him?

Well, Sidney Morris changed his name to Sidney Norris.

We don't know why yet.

He was a piano teacher.

He lived in Chelmsford.

We're still try to trace his next of kin,

and we've seized his computer.

Why?

What you hoping to find?

We don't know yet, but the main files

are locked down with some pretty sophisticated software.

So whatever else is on there, he didn't

want anyone else to find it.

We've managed to recover his computer contacts.

And I've asked DI Tolin to try and trace

an address on his most frequent contact, a Mr Edward Wilson.

What about the rest of it?

Daniel Rampton and his connection

to people trafficking, I've passed the file

on to Specialist Crime Command.

They're tracking phone records.

And Brian Edwards and the mother-in-law?

Well, her injuries just don't match the damage to the car,

or to the fact that we think she was wearing a seatbelt.

Plus there's the unusual bruising pattern

on the back of her neck.

Sounds like one for CID.

We're talking to them.

I think you've done very well on this,

but we need to wrap it up.

Sidney Norris is the only loose end as far as we're concerned.

Family, medical records, why did he get angry?

Then, let's move on.

I think I've had enough of this.

Guy.

That poor sod, lying in a van, bleeding to death on my watch.

How could you have known?

Comes to this country, hoping for a better life.

We still don't even know his name.

Well, they're publishing his photo.

Someone will come forward.

I don't know, We do the measurements.

We take statements, examine the cars.

We still got no bloody idea how a dozen complete strangers

can smash into each other.

I'm spending my whole life trying

to answer the unanswerable.

Can you please stop smiling?

People will start to talk.

I can't help it.

I had such a good time.

With him?

Well, I don't want to be the one to rain on your parade,

but Dave was in yesterday.

Dave? Here?

When?

Out of the blue in the afternoon, looking for you.

- What did you tell him? - What do you think?

I made up some rubbish about you doing

something for the wedding.

You could have told me it was supposed to be my birthday.

Oh, gees, sorry.

Oh, ugh, that would explain last night then.

He was in a dead-off mood, asking

all sorts of weird questions.

I thought it was just me feeling guilty.

He wants me to go away with him.

Dave?

No, you know who.

He wants us to run away together.

You're joking.

What you going to do?

I don't know.

What do you want to do?

Excuse me.

Just a minute.

I want to go.

Of course, I want to go.

When I'm with Richard, I feel like I can be myself, you know.

I can be anything, or--

So where's the problem.

Any time at your convenience.

I'm coming.

It's everything else in my life that's the problem.

We've been invited to Bath on Saturday evening.

Tom and Elaine are having a party.

That sounds fabulous.

What's this one in aid of?

It's not in aid of of anything.

It's dinner.

Well, as much as it pains me, I'm not

sure I'll be able to make it.

Why not?

I thought you were going to be around this weekend.

I may have to fly to Hamburg.

Rudy phoned.

The office build-out there's already

a month behind schedule.

Well, surely someone else can go in your place.

It's precisely because I relied on somebody else

that we're behind.

Don't forget about the board meeting.

How could I forget.

Highlight of my week.

What is wrong with you, Richard?

Excuse me.

Could you help me, please?

Karen Donnelly, do you remember

when she asked me to go get that envelope out of the car?

It must have had about 70, 80 pieces of paper.

The document must have been about that thick.

Now I was at her office yesterday.

And she had no privacy.

And I saw the printer working and it's slow.

So she couldn't have printed it off there because she

wouldn't have had the time.

Well, maybe she was all alone in the office.

She wasn't.

Her boss is a guy called Keith Fowler.

Now, he says he was there all morning.

He logs out at 3:14, forgets something.

This is ridiculous.

Logs back in almost immediately.

Do it yourself.

Goes up the stairs to collect it.

Back down.

Logs back at 3:27.

Giving Karen Donnelly the perfect opportunity

to print it off.

She logs out exactly six minutes and 21 seconds

after Kieth.

So she wouldn't have had the time to print anything.

She could have emailed it.

Yeah, that's possible.

But my guess is that she downloaded it.

Why?

Well, do you remember, she was,,

and confused, and what was the thing that we most on her mind?

An envelope.

The envelope.

The envelope contained one copy.

Just get my keys for me, please.

And the keys.

Might lead to another.

A CD, a disk.

That makes sense.

Is that what you dragged me here to tell me?

No.

Judy knows about us.

She knows everything.

You tell her?

No, I was going to, but she said she already knew.

How?

We were so careful.

She said she always knew.

So--

So-- will you buy me a drink?

Karen Donnelly, four keys.

Car key, and a,,

that'll be the front door.

And one more, could be a drawer, jewelry box.

Can I take those?

No.

But I probably won't notice if they go

missing for a couple of days.

Thank you.

Do you mind if I tell you something

completely out of line?

No, go ahead.

About you and Anna.

Having second thoughts, yes,

No, it's-- it's just that I've known her for a long time.

I don't want to see her hurt.

OK, I'll bear that in mind.

Tolin.

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news.

Mr Norris has been coming here for about a year.

And Simon liked him.

He was doing very well.

Not that he ever practices, of course.

How well did you know him?

Not very.

He put up an advertisement in the newsagent.

That's how we found him.

Did you get any references?

No.

Should I have?

Why are you asking?

Well, I'm just trying to find out a little

more about him, Mrs Parker.

Did he ever mention family or friends, anything like that?

He never mentioned any family.

But I'm sure he once taught at Lime Park.

It's a school in Buckinghamshire.

I knew someone who had a son there.

There was a piano teacher who sounded similar to him.

And his name was Morris--

not Norris.

Thank you.

Hi, catch me at my best, why don't you?

What are you doing here?

I've got something for you.

Eurostar tomorrow.

Champagne bar at 2:15.

That's half an hour before the train, you and me.

Tomorrow, we can't just up and leave tomorrow.

Yes, we can.

You're married.

What is there to lose?

You're not happy.

And nor am I, unless I'm with you.

OK.

OK?

Yeah, OK.

We're going to do it?

Yeah, we're going to do it.

I brought you something else.

Oh, my God.

Just to make sure you're not late.

I've been looking into this company, HDC Chemicals.

You're right, they do, they have contracts all over East Africa.

Herbicides, fungicides, but more significantly,

given what I'm going to tell you, pesticides.

Now these are government forces practicing

the ancient art of ethnic cleansing

against their own people.

This is to clear the land with the oil deposits.

There are strong rumors that they

may be using chemical weapons.

Supplied by HDC?

It's not quite as easy as that.

For pesticides to be of use as a weapon,

they would have to be super enriched, completely

against international standards.

OK, so what if they were?

Oh, they'd be lethal.

Do you think that's what Karen Donnelly find out?

HDC would need clearance to export the chemicals.

And that would need someone very high up in Whitehall.

And I should tell you, John, that if Karen Donnelly

had proof HDC were doing that--

That would be enough reason to kill her.

If-- who'd have thought one small word

could cause so much trouble.

Thank you.

Sidney Norris.

You might have known him as Morris,

but Norris is the name he's using.

I'm trying to trace his next of kin.

Yes, he worked here.

He wasn't married, though.

No family he ever mentioned.

But there's something else?

Ms Stallwood, I do not like to speak ill of the dead,

but there was an incident while he worked here.

What kind of incident?

Well, there were two boys, two quite

separate occasions, on which he behaved inappropriately.

I don't think I need go into the details.

And Mr Morris had the decency to resign,

thus avoiding any further investigation or embarrassment.

Leaving him free to teach other children.

Thank you for your time.

Headmaster, forgive me, but aren't we being

a bit unfair on Mr Morris?

I mean, nothing was ever proved.

Well, we didn't investigate.

Well, perhaps we should have.

Those two boys, they were spiteful little things.

And they were very close to each other.

I mean, this was a possibility that they--

Audrey, it's water under the bridge.

And it makes no difference now.

Hello, Christine?

You OK, love?

I brought you some flowers.

Sit down, Brian.

The police phoned me today.

The police, why?

They were looking for you.

Well, they didn't come around to the shop.

So I told them that you were away on business

and that you wouldn't be back till tomorrow.

The police wouldn't be contacting us for no reason.

You know it and I know it.

I wanted to ask you first, before it's too late.

What did you do, Brian?

I didn't do anything.

Don't lie to me.

We've been married for 30 years, and in all that time

we've had our problems, we have.

But the one thing we've always had is each other.

I want to know the truth.

Turn this car around.

I can't.

Turn it 'round.

For God's sake, drive.

I'm not sorry she's dead.

Don't you see what she was doing to us?

She was poisoning our marriage.

She was my mother.

She was always complaining.

The food wasn't right.

The room wasn't right.

We didn't have one day together from the moment she moved in.

She was my mother.

I hated the way she treated you.

She was wearing you down.

I hardly recognized the woman I married.

What did you do, Brian?

I just wanted to show her the home, that's all.

What did you do?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my, God.

Joyce, are you all right?

You shouldn't have grabbed hold of the steering wheel.

You nearly got us killed.

I couldn't take it anymore.

Her voice--

Stupid, useless man.

You're no good for nothing.

You're no good for my girl.

You're just stupid, stupid.

I'd saved her life, and it still wasn't good enough.

- Stupid. - Shut up.

- Stupid. - Shut up.

Stupid.

I snapped.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

I took off her seatbelt.

I thought if I said it was undone, no one would notice.

Please, can you help me?

Are you one of the drivers?

Yes, it's my mother-in-law, she's hurt.

I didn't mean for it to happen, Christine, I swear.

But it did.

And you know what else?

I'm glad.

Mr Tolin.

What do you want?

I need to talk to you.

In the car.

So how'd you find me?

You were at the hospital and I got your address

from the phone book.

And what's your real name?

Ben, Ben Hickman.

Listen to me.

Karen Donnelly didn't kill herself.

I knew her.

She never would've done that.

So.

They wanted her out of the way.

And now they're after me.

They're watching me.

They know where I live.

Who you talking about?

HDC, the government, MI6.

What does it matter?

Look, you've got to help me.

How'd you get yourself into this mess, Ben?

You work for HDC?

I used to.

I was in QC, Quality Control.

We were part of the company, but we were independent.

So what happened?

You might as well tell me because I'm

going to find out anyway.

I nicked some stuff, all right?

Drugs, but not what you're thinking.

Industrial stuff to sell.

I needed the money.

They caught me and I got fired.

And then?

Let me guess.

You already knew that they were exporting

super enriched pesticides.

Yeah.

They were using them as weapons.

And I was going to expose them.

Expose them?

That the plan?

Well, I couldn't get the evidence.

That was the thing.

So I asked Karen.

You didn't ask her.

You're not a crusader.

You pretended you were a journalist.

You read the articles that James Taylor wrote in East Africa.

And then you tricked Karen Donnelly

into believing that you were him and you

worked for "The Guardian."

You fails, but you are never going to expose HDC.

Because this is about the money, about payback for getting

sacked.

What difference does it make?

I was right, wasn't I?

Karen got the proof.

She got the files.

She's dead because of that.

Why did you choose me?

Why not someone else?

Because of you.

Because she didn't even know what she was getting into.

Yeah, well, now they're after me.

I know they are.

And I can prove it.

Please, listen, you've got to protect me.

You took advantage of a woman that

was braver and more well-meaning than you'll ever be.

Where were you when she needed your help?

Sorry, pal, you're on your own.

Listen, they-- they are going to kill me.

Look, I just came to you for help.

I'll pay for the coffee.

I've spoken to Rob.

He's going to be my best man.

I've told him to watch his mouth.

You know what Rob's like.

He's a bit of a filthy bugger.

You all right?

Mm-hmm.

You're not.

What's up?

I can't do this.

What?

The wedding.

I can't do it.

What do you mean, you can't do it?

I mean, everything's booked, the registry, the pub.

We want different things.

What you on about?

I thought we wanted the same things--

house, kids.

There's someone else, isn't there?

We're different, you and me.

I went in the service station.

You weren't there.

It wasn't Cindie's birthday.

The other night when you went out,

you went out with someone else, didn't you?

We want different things.

Just give me a straight answer.

Yes, yes, I went out with someone else.

And now I'm not good enough for you, right?

But I'm not rubbish?

No, I didn't think that.

I know that I don't always understand you,

but I do love you.

I want you to be happy, Dave, and I can't make you happy.

You don't think that. I know you don't.

You think that I can't make you happy.

But you've got to give me a chance.

You want to get married in a registry office.

And I want to get married on a hillside in Italy.

You want to celebrate in the local.

And I want to see the world.

That's not reality.

That's just dreams.

Yes, but they're my dreams.

They're my dreams.

You seen my passport?

I can't find the damn thing anywhere.

The plane isn't ready, Richard.

The plane you are flying to Hamburg in,

it's being refitted.

No, I'm taking a charter, BA.

That'll be why your secretary's booked

on the Eurostar, two tickets.

I'm leaving for good.

I'm leaving you, Angela.

Oh, yes.

Is this how you want wants to spend the rest of our lives,

in this kind of dead existence?

Life is learning to breathe while everything around you

is trying to suffocate you.

It's like seeing things--

What's her name?

Her name's Jane.

She's made me feel happier in a week than you have in 15 years.

And I take it your money has nothing to do

with this sudden infatuation.

You don't know anything about her.

I don't need to, do I?

I know you.

You found some girl to pander to your whims and all of a sudden

the world looks rosier.

I think you've forgotten the board meeting.

I'm leaving.

You don't have the guts.

I think you might have been right about Sidney.

I went to his old school.

That said, nothing was proved.

Well, Stan managed to get into the files in his computer,

so whatever it is, he took a lot of care.

There he is, Edward Wilson, Sidney's online friend.

Let's see what the two of them have been up to.

Mr Wilson?

Yes.

I wonder if we could have a word with you?

I'm glad you're here.

I want to confess.

OK, Mr Wilson, you've got our attention.

What would you like to confess?

The downloads.

These downloads that you shared with Sidney Morris?

It was Norris, with an N.

What were they?

We got them from America.

Could you just tell us where they showed?

Well, "Star Trek" mainly.

What?

I thought you knew.

I thought that's why you were here.

I am sorry.

You and Sidney--

Yeah, we were fans of the show, Trekkies.

That's how we met.

It was a convention in Birmingham.

Look, I know you probably think it's pathetic, grown men,

and it's only TV, but it was a hobby--

going to conventions, collecting stuff, memorabilia.

I mean, take the scripts, it's actually a whole world.

Gene Roddenberry was a genius.

He even created his own language.

So why were you so worried about the downloads?

Well, they're making a new film.

And there's this site where you can buy

scenes, unedited, raw footage.

But they're always warning you, you will get

prosecuted if you're caught.

Sidney was always worried about American lawyers

knocking on his door.

I can show you if you like.

I've got the downloads on here.

What's that?

It was a present from Sid.

The computer's next door.

It's not the key.

It's the key fob.

It's the original file that Karen from the office.

OK, wait a minute.

Why are you giving me this?

Isn't this evidence?

I only wish it was, but for a variety of reasons,

I can't use this document.

It's useless to me.

But if I give it back to them, then nobody's going

to find out anything at all.

Welcome to my world.

And it seems like Karen pretty much put her life on the line.

So the story should get told.

So it seems the least we can do for her.

You know, it might not work out the way you think.

These people are very good at shifting the blame,

covering their tracks.

And we live in a culture that seems happy to accept that.

Well, I don't care.

Just do what you can.

Thanks.

Afternoon, sir.

- Did you pick up my coat? - It's in the backseat.

Let's hurry. I'm a bit late.

No problem.

Hello, there.

Are you ready to order?

Oh, no, I'm all right, thanks.

But I am meeting someone, though.

Just here's fine.

You must be Jane.

Yeah.

Are you Angela?

There's no pleasant way to say this, so I won't even try.

My husband is a shit.

Gentlemen.

Apologies for my lateness.

Let's get down to it.

You weren't the first, I'm afraid.

No?

No.

I don't take pleasure in seeing people hurt.

But I'm always the one to pick up the pieces.

And you might as well know.

The first was a cleaner from his office.

He took her to Scotland.

Then, there was a waitress who got a weekend in Hamburg.

He likes them working class.

And he promises them the Earth, quite literally.

He's a fantasist.

Yeah, he is.

He fantasizes about leaving you.

Actually, we both dream about leaving each other.

Anyway, there it is.

I don't know anything about you.

And as I say, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

You didn't really think he was serious, did you?

No.

The tickets he bought were returns.

As you can see--

Eurostar service to Paris,

is now boarding at platform five.

Ann, new job for you.

North circular, last night, two cars and a motorbike.

But, we're--

We spent long enough on the A12.

We know that Sidney Norris lost his temper and lost control.

We don't need anymore.

We still don't know why.

We don't need to know why.

We're not psychiatrists.

Look, I want you to wrap this one up and move on, OK?

OK.

Bloody wasp.

For God's sake,.

You all right?

Yeah.

Is this weird?

No, I'm glad you came.

Good, so am I.

came to see me the other day.

You're joking?

No.

Wanted me to forgive him.

What did you do?

I nearly killed him.

I think I probably would have had if Jodie

hadn't have been there.

You know, when I think of everything

that she's been through, and now she's gone to university.

Yeah, moving on.

That's the hardest part of a road accident.

What is?

Because it's so random.

And when it happens to you, to your family,

I don't know how you let that go.

It is hard.

But maybe Jodie's got the right idea.

She does.

She kind of got me thinking.

I never forgave anybody, not him, not me, and not you.

Well, you could start with me.

Mike's moved me on.

A pile up on the north circular.

Make a change from the A12.

I still can't believe it.

Five people dead.

All that misery and all because of what?

A wasp.

I don't know why somebody didn't

just swat the bloody thing.

Sorry.

Oh, ah, hold on one sec.

Oh, yeah, that's it.

Take your frustration out on a wasp.

Yeah, well, why should we be the only ones to suffer?
