Scott and Bailey s03e06 Episode Script

Undermined

Do you like Tuesdays? No.
What I really like at the moment is being unconscious.
I love sleeping! Sleeping is so cool! What have you done to your hair? Thought I'd try something different.
Oh, your lovely curls.
It's not permanent.
Look what she's done to her hair.
Oh, I think it looks really nice.
She doesn't look like herself.
Rach, would you shut the door? Mum's going blue here.
Have you had enough of me living with you? No, that is the wrong question.
Oh, here we go.
The right question is, what do I think of you living with me? Do you need me here at all? The answer to that is, I think you're living with me because you're ducking out of responsibility.
You want to leave Sean but you're too chicken.
Duck and chicken? That is special.
So you're making him dump you and you're doing it, which is the most cowardly way imaginable of getting a divorce and you're not a coward.
Hi, Mum.
How long is she going to stay? Can I ring you back? So, if staying with me stops you jumping into bed with unsuitable men or sleeping under your desk, then please, please stay as long as you like, Rach.
I mean it.
Thanks, pal.
Janet, can I Pin your ears back, ladies and gents.
The DCI from Rochdale's been on saying they've got a suspicion about a nursing home on their division.
They've done some background.
Suspicions of neglect, a couple of deaths unexpected, nothing corroborated.
They had a woman in this morning adamant that her father's death, suspected heart attack last night, is suspicious.
She's confident what's killed him is neglect.
Till we get a cause of death, who knows? But I want actions started up now so we're not catching up later.
Janet and Mitch, talk to this lady.
Rachel and Kevin, go to the home, talk to the manager.
Rob will brief.
He'll be back in ten minutes.
Rob will come up with two questionnaires, one for residents, one for relatives, and for the key staff you'll be allocated interview teams.
If you need me, I'll be at the mortuary.
Janet, can I just mention something? Mention away.
I'm not the mole.
I never thought you were.
I thought the general opinion was it was me, because of before.
When you told Jill about Andy? Mitch the snitch.
I've no idea what the general opinion is, but you might be a bit paranoid.
Good.
Anyway, it's completely different.
Telling Jill was the right thing to do.
Leaking stuff to the press is just wrong.
I agree.
I'm not the mole either, by the way.
Have you seen my father's body? No, not yet.
He looks papery.
That place killed him.
He was fit and well.
His heart was strong.
He had his problems, but not his heart.
When did the nursing home inform you, Miss French? Mrs Greig phoned.
I got in the car, drove straight up, got here .
.
just before five.
I didn't even get to say bye to him.
Thank you.
Did you have concerns about your father's welfare going back a while? Yes.
I haven't been happy about things and I said as much.
What kind of things? The carers.
They're slapdash.
They turn a blind eye to anything that isn't on the rota.
What sort of things? My dad was effectively preyed on by another resident and they let it happen.
I said I felt it was an inappropriate relationship.
She did nothing.
Mrs Greig.
Neglect comes from the top.
People are dying in there because that woman is a profit-obsessed, flint-hearted bitch! Gerald took us all by surprise.
He seemed fine during the day.
Are you aware that the local care authorities have made representations that they're concerned about your home? Yes.
We had a care quality control three-star rating last year.
I'm confident we deliver good care.
You've had five residents die in the last ten weeks.
Why do you think that is? It can happen.
You get clusters.
It's unnerving for everyone, staff as well as residents.
Did you know Catherine French was unhappy with her father's care? I certainly did.
They're untoward event forms.
Catherine French has submitted more than 20 over the last two years.
That's about ten times as many as any other relative.
Why so many? She's his only relative so she felt responsible.
And she has very high standards.
Which you would.
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife when she visited.
She put all the staff on edge.
We rubbed along.
Last year, there was an issue.
After that, the complaints just went through the roof.
What was the issue? Catherine walked in on her dad with another resident.
Ruby Spears.
As in walked in on them? They were just kissing and cuddling.
It was an awkward moment, but they are two consenting adults.
Catherine wasn't happy about it.
Well, if she was so unhappy, why did she leave him here? She's a very busy woman.
We know this is gonna be disruptive for you, Mrs Greig, but we'd like as much cooperation as possible.
Interview teams will arrive to talk to the residents and we'd like all the care plans made available.
Of course.
I'll buzz Craig.
He'll sort out anything you need.
You all right, love? No! I'm Winifred.
I'm Rachel.
Am I going home today? I don't know.
Are you going home? No, I'm just I'm going back to work.
Can I come with you? Do you not like it here? I What you doing out here, you silly sausage? Talking! Come on.
Oh, hello.
Winifred's gone walkabout again.
There you go, ladies.
Right, who wants me? OK, so, in the absence of Jill, a couple of things before we go over to Willow Vale.
Obviously, we need to gather intelligence without causing alarm, so we'll start with residents, then staff.
There's 30 residents, so we need to identify key people.
Ruby Spears, Gerald's girlfriend, is key.
I've just added their ages together.
Yeah, and off the back of that, probably goes without saying Well, say it anyway.
Witness reliability.
We've got elderly witnesses, some suffering from dementia, some too ill to talk, some might not even be alive in the next few weeks if anything gets to court, so we need to film the interviews.
We're not gonna cart them off to a formal video suit, so we'll do it in situ.
Do you want PDFs, Rob? Er It's just if we take prints and swabs at the same time as we're chatting to residents and staff, we don't have to use them but we've got them if we need them.
Yes.
Good idea.
Thank you.
Oh, erm Oh, yeah, proactive with records, research and index everything really carefully.
Mitch has an analysis of the recent deaths.
It's such a grey area.
You've got closeness to death as a given, illness, it's hard to know the probability of dying.
The manager says it's a spike.
The daughter says she would say that.
What were the complaints about? She's seen bruising on her dad's arms, his hair was parted the wrong way.
A girlfriend and hair.
Imagine that, Pete.
She's seen him be fed too fast, she's seen him in someone else's shirt, seen a shirt that she bought him on someone else, loads of things that could mean he's being badly looked after or she's a nightmare or both.
What was your impression of the manager? She genuinely thinks that everything's OK.
How much she gets out of the office, dunno.
Oh, I met a resident, Winifred, who seemed keen to break free, but she was pretty hazy.
OK, press strategy.
What Sorry, did I just cut you off? Erm, so, Craig, the senior care worker Who the fat lass fancies, by the way.
Anyway, Craig, there's just something about him.
Like he was displaying everything, doing everything for our benefit.
It's hard to explain.
Go on! Tell them the really suspicious thing you saw him doing.
No, he did exactly what he was supposed to do.
He came through the door and then he squirted .
.
the stuff out of the thing, the, erm the antibacterial gloop, and then he rubbed it in like he was doing a demonstration of how you should do it, which is fine, except that's not what normal people normally do.
Nick him! He's too hygienic! All right You do it.
All right, come on, settle down! Settle down! Press strategy.
Very bland, basically.
Appealing for information from the public in very general terms.
Ooh! Sorry, I mistook it for a peach.
You better get some even bigger glasses, then.
Mr French didn't stay up with you to watch the end of the programme? No, he went to bed.
Look in there.
What do you reckon? I reckon you were quite something.
Wow! Mrs Spears, how long have you been a resident here? I wouldn't, no.
Hello, Rosie! Hello, Ruby.
A lot of biscuits gone into that backside.
Could you give us ten minutes alone with Mrs Spears, please? Oh, course.
Yes.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Have you got a tattoo? No.
Can we carry on, please? Actually, get her back.
I need the lavatory.
Hey.
What's she like? The scarlet woman? - Vinegary.
Bit of a bully.
- Oh.
Hi, Jill.
Gerald French's body is dehydrated, covered in bruises and he's got a needle mark in his arm.
It's a murder inquiry.
Get everyone back to base.
The needle mark's hard to see.
It's on a liver spot, mole thingy, not somewhere you'd normally administer a jab.
Gerald French wasn't on any medication administered by injection.
No-one in Willow Vale is.
So it appears this jab is unauthorised and whoever did it intended it to go unnoticed.
The substance injected is no longer traceable in his system, so it's a substance that's naturally occurring in the body and/or something that dissipates quickly.
The pathologist confirmed it was a heart attack but the heart was in very good nick for an 86-year-old man.
So the pathologist's view is it's this injection that stopped the heart, and if it's a substance that stops the heart but doesn't show up in the body, any ideas? Potassium chloride.
Go on.
It's what they reckon that nurse used a few years back in the patients' drips.
They didn't get him.
It's a bugger to prove.
Pete, teleport yourself back into the room! Sorry.
Where do you get potassium chloride? Internet.
A salt substitute.
In a concentrated solution, it kills.
It's in lethal injections on death row.
We're looking for evidence.
Who had the wherewithal, who had a motive, who last saw him alive? Statistician from the Medical Council said that number of deaths is not a standard deviation.
Good.
Well, that's a start.
What did the deaths have in common? What were their care plans? Were they buried or cremated? We'll need full research on these potential victims.
And we may be looking at exhuming bodies.
Tell me about the staff.
That's the core staff.
There's also cleaners, laundry assistants, cooks.
The only member of staff qualified to inject is the nurse, Tabitha.
The senior care worker, Craig, could have done it.
He's the one you feel iffy about? Yeah.
Tabitha discovered the body but Craig Wyatt and Rosie Clark were both on duty that night.
I can't see Rosie handling a syringe.
She's just a kid.
She wouldn't say boo to a goose.
Ruby Spears reduced her to tears and she just took it.
Well, that's a motive, if Rosie's being picked on.
She really is meek.
So was Beverley Allitt.
OK.
at least 30 relatives, probably twice as many, eight core members of staff.
We have to make a judgement call about where to start.
I'm gonna start with staff.
Three key witnesses, Tabitha then Craig then Rosie.
Are we to leave residents and relatives? No, look into possible neglect but prioritise the murder investigation.
Does potassium chloride dissipate quickly just in bodies? Dunno, why? Well, if it dissipates more slowly on inert things, it might be interesting to see if there are any splashes on Gerald's bed.
Isn't she clever? I put my head around Gerald's door at half past ten.
I saw that he was lying awkwardly.
I went in and discovered he was dead.
What shift were you working last night, Tabitha? 8pm to 8am.
And how do the staff rotas work? For this number of residents, you need six members of staff.
One nurse, five care assistants.
That's the legal requirement.
Do you always have that? Staff don't get enough time off, so they call in sick.
Then you don't have six.
Agency staff? Expensive.
So who's in charge of the core staff? Craig sorts everything out, any problems at all.
I'm agog to meet this Craig.
According to the nurse, he can do no wrong.
He's a demi-god.
Nancy Greig was saying the same thing.
And Rosie went all glowing when he walked past.
He doesn't have much competition.
He's in a very female environment.
I can relate to that! No, Janet's saying these women like this fella.
Janet.
Do you know anything about this? It wasn't me.
It's from your email address.
Well, someone else must've sent it.
That's not possible, though, is it? Cos you'd never leave your warrant card in your computer terminal.
It must be someone's idea of a joke.
Well, Rob's not laughing.
Aw, thanks, love.
Thank you.
I'll give it you back.
OK.
Aw, God bless you.
It's the third time in two weeks.
Oh, I'll pay you back, honest.
It's not the money It's the texts.
Worried the missus might see them? Yeah.
Well better not text you, then.
Do you know what a greengrocer's apostrophe is? No.
Write down four potatoes.
Are you kidding? No.
That's one.
This is also one.
You don't think it was me, do you? Yeah.
And I tell you something else, potatoes is spelt with an "e".
I didn't do it! Cross my heart and hope to die, I didn't do it! I did not send that! It is not funny! It is mortifyingly embarrassing.
And for Rob to go to Jill with it, it is a big deal.
She doesn't think it was you and he'll believe her! He'll think it was me because I nipped his bum! Why did I do that? Why the hell did I do that? Oh, Janet, I'm sorry.
It was me.
I did it.
I sent it.
Why? Because I thought it was funny and everyone would think it was Kevin and I thought you'd think it was funny.
God! Do you wanna hit me? No, I wanna kill you! Tell Jill! Janet Not a good time.
Sorry.
Rob, this is toe-curling.
I'm sorry.
I didn't send it.
All right, fine, OK.
It's not my style.
No.
I mean, I'd never send an inappropriate email in any style.
It's fine.
I just flagged it up to Jill in case Because I wasn't really sure what to do and I thought if I don't and things were to escalate Oh, God, nothing's going to escalate! It's just someone being a knob and me being a knob for leaving my warrant card Honestly, it's fine.
And, erm, I'm sorry I nipped your bum.
Yeah, well, that was Well, it was definitely an interesting status situation in front of everyone.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Just forget it.
Please.
I have.
Thank you.
The admin officer's out.
Oh, OK.
Hey! I didn't send it! No, I know you didn't.
She did.
Well, tell Jill, then! I just have.
What did she say? She's sending me on a diversity course.
Sexual harassment in the workplace.
Right, so, we're getting a copy of the memory stick made under forensic conditions.
Then the data will be analysed from the original, then forensics will get to work.
The jiffy bag You can give no description whatsoever of the driver? No.
No description whatsoever of the minicab? No.
In the absence of that, we're hoping to identify the sender of the jiffy bag forensically.
Did we get swabs and prints off residents and staff? Yes.
Good.
Whoever sent it did so anonymously, so they probably took precautions, but who knows? Pending that, keep interviewing.
What's the nurse saying? She says she couldn't have done it cos she wasn't on duty till 8pm.
First time she saw Gerald, he was dead.
The time of death's up for grabs because the body was insulated by the bedding, delaying rigor mortis.
Tabitha could've injected him when she came on duty, discovered him later.
Yes, but Craig and/or Rosie could've injected him just before they knocked off at 8pm.
I've nearly finished trawling through the shifts.
Craig was on duty just before or at the time of four out of five deaths, with Rosie, Tabitha wasn't.
Right, so, it's these two, possibly together.
Rosie's on a three-month trial at Willow Vale which is nearly done.
The spike in deaths started soon after she started.
Maybe we should interview her first.
But Craig would know how to give an injection.
He's got an NVQ level three.
I checked.
He's downstairs waiting to be interviewed.
OK, let's kick off with Craig.
Craig, as I'm sure you're aware, we're investigating the death of Gerald French.
We're also looking at other deaths and other possible failures of care that may have occurred at Willow Vale over the last few months.
So we're talking to staff and residents and relatives to try to build up a picture.
You're not under arrest and you're free to leave any time.
Does all of that seem clear? Yeah.
I just I just don't believe that anyone at that place would harm an elderly person.
Right.
It gets me down when people cast aspersions cos we're the good guys.
I accept that there's gonna be dissatisfactions and little gripes about the care from time to time, because we're too damn busy to get everything perfect, but there is no way that anyone at that place would set out to hurt an elderly lady or gentleman.
It must be very challenging work.
It is.
Especially in this climate with the cuts and everything.
Well, you know all about that, don't you? We do, unfortunately.
But, I have to say, hand on heart, it's the best job in the world.
It's like he's on a chat show.
And he's hosting it.
You're making a difference.
A little joke, you know? A hug.
When you see that little look of appreciation, there's no greater reward.
But, you know, I'm old school.
I'm vocational.
Urgh.
Slimy.
I know! Do you know what they start on now, the trainees? ã306 a week.
Well, you can earn more on a checkout, can't you? Mm, very possibly.
Definitely! So who are you gonna get? You're not gonna get the cream of the crop, are you? What sort of people do you get? People who think it's an easy ride.
People who don't realise what a tough job it can be.
He's limbering up to implicate Rosie.
Jill, potassium chloride's been identified on Gerald French's sheets.
Fantastic! You wouldn't believe it sometimes.
Well, there's a young trainee, heart of gold, wouldn't harm a fly.
But she will literally walk in a resident's room and pick a cup off a tray but leave the tray unless you tell her to get the cup and the tray.
Would that be Rosie? The young trainee? Well yeah.
Nice touch.
Make her say it first.
Mm.
That's how things go wrong.
Rosie hasn't got a malicious bone in her body, but the system doesn't support her.
So she's out of her depth, she's gonna make mistakes.
Do you know of any mistakes she's made? I'm just saying potentially.
OK, so is what you're saying you don't have any concerns about abuse at Willow Vale but you think, for understandable reasons, there may be some issues around competence? Yeah.
Yep, that's it exactly.
OK, Craig.
Thank you.
That's been very useful.
Can we just chat through your movements yesterday before you left work at 8pm? Sure! Shut down or clueless or creepy.
That's three specific carers, Janet, not all carers.
Yeah, one of them did it, though.
Craig did it.
I bet you anything.
We just need evidence.
Have you still not said good night to the girls? I'm just about to.
Mum.
Mum.
What? Mum.
I am never, ever, ever, ever gonna put you in a home.
If you ever need looking after, it's me that's gonna do it.
Who knows what the future holds? Well, we know that.
Never, ever.
Well, you seem perfectly happy to neglect your children, if this evening's anything to go by.
Ooh! That's me well and truly tongue-lashed.
Right, I'm going! I'm gone! No, thank you.
Don't you think it'd be a good idea if you went home to your husband? The thing is, Dorothy, the home thing and the husband thing is not shaping up too well.
No.
And if you keep camping at other people's houses, I don't imagine it ever will.
I know.
It's a bugger, isn't it? "Come on.
" Definitely Rosie.
And that's Winifred.
"No! No!" "Agh!" Nasty little bitch! Pick her up.
Can we look in Winifred's room to see if there's any clues as to how this was filmed? It's fixed and Rosie doesn't acknowledge it.
Doesn't mean she doesn't know it's there.
Can we find out what that is? It's a conundrum.
Hopefully not for long.
No, as in it's the Countdown conundrum.
I think it's polyester.
Sorry.
I can do these.
I just can.
It's polyester.
And do your superpowers extend to knowing when it was broadcast? No.
Useless.
Rosie Clark, I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault.
You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention something you later rely on.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Do you understand? What Do I Do I go with you? Yeah.
Can I tell my mum? Yes.
Can I get my handbag? Where is it? In my locker.
Have you got a key? Oh, no, it's it's a Padlock.
What's the combination? 0-0-0-0.
Hey, lads, guess what Rachel's found in Rosie's locker.
A syringe.
What do you want me to do? Still got a CSM there? Yep.
Get them to photograph and video the syringe in situ.
Bag it and tag it.
Get her here.
Have you arrested her? Yeah, for assault.
Re-arrest her.
Arrest her again? Yes, arrest her again! Rosie Clark, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence Whoa! Rosie? And up.
There was a clock in Winifred's room with a hidden camera.
It's been removed.
We think we're being pointed towards Rosie.
And the person who keeps pointing things out is Craig.
He was on duty when Gerald died.
They both were.
Craig can inject.
Anyone can.
There's videos on YouTube.
Why did she tell you to get her bag if she knew the syringe was there? I don't think she knew it was in there.
I think someone, Craig, put it there.
Sorry.
It's Trevor from the computer unit.
On you go.
I thought he was having a heart attack.
So did I.
Hiya.
Forensics are fast-tracking the syringe, so we should get results soon.
The footage shows Rosie slapping Winifred, but the accompanying letter refers to deaths.
Someone, we suspect Craig, is inviting us to connect two things which aren't necessarily connected.
Pushing us towards Rosie.
Looks like Craig made the memory stick, downloaded the footage.
There's a letter he wrote on there, too, completely unrelated.
One hell of a mistake to make.
Maybe he's getting careless, panicking.
So working on the idea that Craig not only made the memory stick but also sent it to us and wrote the note and possibly set up this hidden camera, suspecting he'd catch something incriminating, why has he done it anonymously? He wants to distance himself from it.
Because he's part of it.
Let's arrest him for Is it a bit iffy? No, it's fine.
Arrest him for conspiracy to assault.
Get additional evidence from his interview and a house search.
Computer equipment and anything that ties him to the assault.
May we come in, please, Mr Wyatt? "No! No! Agh!" Is there anything you'd like to tell us, Rosie? I'm really, really sorry.
What were you thinking? I don't know.
You just did it? I'm really sorry.
It's quite a handy slap you've got there.
Do you do it often? Would it be possible for me to talk to Craig, please? Why would you like to talk to Craig? He always knows what to do.
Well, no, you can't talk to him just now, I'm afraid.
Who did that? The film of you? The alarm clock .
.
was in Winifred's room.
There's a hidden camera in it.
Hidden camera? Yeah, a secret camera.
Well, who put it there? Who do you think? Winifred's family.
No.
Because Winifred hasn't got any family, which is why she needs to be looked after by you.
But we're pretty sure who did send it to us, the film.
Who? Craig.
Do you share your locker with anyone, Rosie? No.
No-one else has any access to it? No.
Well, could you tell me what that was doing in your locker? I'd like to speak to my client now.
I want this interview to stop.
He told me to do it.
Who told you? Craig.
What would you say if I told you that Rosie had assaulted one of the residents at Willow Vale? Winifred.
I don't know anything about that.
OK.
Erm, well, unfortunately, it did happen.
We've got evidence of it happening.
What's your reaction to that, Craig? Shocked.
Can you explain the reason why it shocks you? Because of how she comes across.
How would you describe the way that Rosie comes across? Innocent.
Can you think of anything that might cause Rosie to assault one of the residents? I don't know why anyone would do that.
How would you describe your relationship with Rosie? Professional.
How would you describe your relationship with Craig? Craig's my boyfriend.
How long's Craig been your boyfriend? Since one week after I started at Willow Vale, when I was shadowing him.
He started saying things, kept on at me to go in his car.
And you did? Yeah.
Where did you go? Woods.
Places.
You stayed in the car? Yeah.
And had sex.
He couldn't keep his hands off me.
How often would that happen? A lot.
He's my boyfriend.
Who knows Craig's your boyfriend? No-one.
He said people would think it was I forget the word.
I can think of a few.
Who else knows that Craig told you to hit the residents? Oh, no, he didn't.
You told me earlier that he did.
No, he said, with the ones with dementia, they get in a state when they get muddled.
He said if you slap them when they get like that, it snaps them out of it.
It's OK, cos they don't remember.
Do you think that's OK? Craig said it was.
Do you think he's gone off me? If you think that's OK, why did you get upset when I showed you the film? Just .
.
wh-when I saw it.
Just looks bad when you see it.
Rosie, I'm gonna ask you again, do you know anything about Gerald French's death? No.
So you're buying it? What? Er, yeah.
I think she's chronically dependent.
I think she's totally enthralled with Craig cos he's the first man to ever pay any attention to her.
I do think she's got a screw loose, but I don't think she's capable of lying to us about being involved.
Craig is, and I think he's calculating enough to have identified Rosie pretty much on sight as someone he can exploit.
I think he's been getting twitchy about getting caught so he's pretended he fancies her, she's done whatever he tells her, he gets his cover and, erm, he films her.
Yeah, and his ego's boosted cos she worships him.
He's horrible.
I want his head on a plate.
What's your plan? Keep spinning him round till he falls over.
That is just pure fabrication.
So you didn't tell Rosie to slap the residents? Never.
And you're not having a sexual relationship with Rosie? No.
Can you think why she might say you are? She's a physically unattractive girl.
It's a fantasy.
OK.
Erm, I'd like to talk a bit more about Rosie assaulting Winifred.
The evidence that we have is footage from a memory stick that was sent to us anonymously.
Can you tell me anything about that? No.
Can you explain how on that memory stick there was also a draft letter from you concerning your council tax payments, deleted but retrievable? I think deep down I must've wanted you to know it came from me.
Sorry, I don't understand.
I've been an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I suspected Rosie was abusing the residents.
I set up the hidden camera.
And sent the film to us.
Yeah.
You'll find the rest of the footage on my computer.
I downloaded that clip onto the memory stick yesterday and I sent it to you.
What was your reason for doing that anonymously? It sounds misguided, but I felt sorry for her.
For who sorry? Rosie? Yeah.
She's such a mess.
And what did you feel about Winifred? Winifred was the priority, obviously.
To safeguard Winifred.
That indicates that the tape is about to finish.
Please feel free to take a short break while we set up a new one.
I'm going to liaise with my colleagues.
How's it going? Mm, he's working up a bit of a sweat but not quite enough, so I took advantage of the tape change, told him I was gonna liaise with my colleagues.
Which is true, here we are.
Exactly.
I'm a bit confused by the delay.
Sorry? I I'm sure that you're familiar with the television programme Countdown.
And the edition that was on the television in Winifred's room in the footage that you sent to us was on five weeks ago.
Wh It hasn't been repeated.
So I'm a bit confused.
You're one of the good guys, you're doing the best job in the world, and yet when you suspect a colleague is abusing a resident and you manage to gather proof, you don't go and report it immediately to Mrs Greig, the manager.
Can you explain that to me? Sorry, I'm not I'm just trying to remember myself.
Well, that's fine.
There's no hurry.
We can come back to that.
And this morning, when we searched your house, we found four glass vials of a clear substance taped to the side of the bath behind the panelling.
What can you tell me about them? Right, we've just had confirmation that the vials do contain potassium chloride.
Potassium chloride in the same concentration was also identified in the syringe found in Rosie's locker.
Thumbprint of Craig's on the plunger, no prints from Rosie.
Let's re-arrest Craig on suspicion of murder.
We'll know if Gerald French's DNA is on the syringe while he's in custody.
We've got circumstantial, no witnesses.
A jury's going to want to know why he did it.
Because he could.
I think Craig feels the same contempt for old people that he does for Rosie.
He thinks they're useless but he needs them because they need him.
He's a big fish in a dysfunctional small pond.
A jury won't want to believe anyone's killing granddad for kicks, certainly not a nice, caring fella like Craig.
Everyone talks about him in glowing terms.
We'll have Rosie as a witness.
Chances are she'll come to her senses and say how he manipulated her.
She'll be overwhelmed in court.
She'll look like she's lying.
He's got the gear taped to his bath! They still want to know why.
Because he's a sadist.
Because daddy was a bully and mummy was a whore or whatever.
Can you see us getting a confession and sob story off that man? Nope.
And we can forget getting him for the other deaths because there's no pattern.
Statistics and rotas aren't compelling.
A jury needs a motive.
Do you remember Iris McKenzie? She was 84.
She died at Willow Vale on February 10th.
What was she like? Er fine.
Nice lady.
Her son described her as extremely hard to please.
Do you remember Leonard Holmes? He died at Willow Vale on February I don't think I had much contact with that gentleman.
You were with him shortly before he died.
His widow Lily described him as a very difficult man.
Not so chatty now, is he? Ivy Banner, died on February 21st.
Demanding.
June Sedgley, died on March 26th.
Abrasive.
Leslie Pendleton, died May 3rd.
Could be impossible.
People don't like to speak ill of a dead loved one, so it's striking when they do.
Is there anything you'd like to say, Craig? He's not gonna say, "Yes, I killed them cos they ignored me," is he? They didn't appreciate him as much as his twisted little ego thinks is his due.
Gerald French's DNA on the syringe.
Lovely.
Knock on the door and tell Janet to charge him.
Oi, shit for brains! Hey, ugly mug! Get us a drink.
Red or white? Red.
Big or small? A bottle.
Piss off! You not got the money? Oh, I've got the money, I just don't wanna spend it on you.
Hiya.
You didn't ring me.
I said to ring me.
I know you did.
So why are you ringing me? To see if you've What? Come to my senses? No.
What then? I just wondered, you know, if you were up for being my missus this week.
Or if you're still being mad.
Will you stop calling me mad? I'm not fucking mad! I tell you what is mad.
It's two people saying words in front of other people and signing a book to say that they agree to be stuck together for life.
You didn't think it was mad at the time.
If you say to a person to ring you, wait for them to ring you.
And if you tell a person you're giving them time, then give them some.
Hey, Bailey! Get your fat arse over here! Do you think I'm gonna sit with you just cos you bought me a drink? What did you get, then? Er, shiraz.
Vimto.
Hey, Scotty! Come and give everyone a lick! Hey, watch out, Rob, the demon pincher's here.
I think she loves you! Hey, Rob, welcome to the club! Are you OK? No, Janet, I'm I'm terrible.
What's happened? Lynne's kicked me out.
Is this because of Rachel's mum? Yep.
You told her? I thought if I didn't, Sharon would.
Is this what you wanted to talk to me about yesterday? Oh, Pete, I'm so sorry.
I was in a tizz.
Stupid.
Where are you staying? My mum's.
Well, let me give you a lift.
It's the least I can do.
One for the road? I chucked it all away for a shag on a car with a lunatic.
The dust will settle.
You'll be back in your own bed in no time.
Don't humour me, Janet.
I cocked up at work yesterday, as well.
Shh.
You should be in bed.
What are you doing? I needed a wee.
Go to bed, love.
Now.
