Silent Witness (1996) s18e06 Episode Script

Protection (2)

I have to prevent vulnerable children from being hurt.
You ain't coming in I failed Lizzie Craddock.
She's missing because I'm too late.
Do you have any doubt that Dale Barge was abusing Lizzie Craddock? None.
Johnny Craddock, I'm arresting you in connection with the death of Dale Barge and the disappearance of Lisanne Craddock.
- How did your son get these bruises? - I don't know.
- You didn't get angry with him? - No! I don't know how he got them.
We need to talk about your son.
Did you run away from that home? I'm 16, Gramps, I walked away.
You should know this - we think it was Daniel got your sister pregnant.
He caused us so much pain.
I'll get rid of Daniel.
I'll make him go away.
Tell me the truth.
- Who told you this? - Tell me the truth! If I wait for evidence, it can be too late.
Testator silens Costestes e spiritu Silentium The victim is Daniel Garvey, Police are trying to track down his wife, Niamh.
Time of death? I would estimate eight to ten hours ago.
Stomach contents will give us a more precise idea.
- Have we got a weapon? - No.
Most likely, it was a knife.
His throat was cut - it was a clean wound starting high under the ear, cutting the carotid artery.
Was that cause? Mm, I'm not sure yet.
He bled out less than I'd expect.
Did you know that Dale Barge was sexually abusing your daughter? - No.
Who's saying that? - We are.
We're saying it.
We're sure of it.
And we think you knew.
- No, I love my daughter.
- That's why you killed him.
Why aren't you out looking for my little girl? You know where she is, don't you, Johnny? Why don't you help us? Tell us the truth.
A paedophile hurting your daughter - you did what any man would do, didn't you? - Please, just look for Lizzie.
- You know, I don't understand why you don't just tell us.
It's your defence - '"protecting my child'".
Now, the only reason I can think of is that you and Dale were in it together.
- Piss off.
- Are you a paedophile, Johnny? - They can't say that! - You didn't mind sharing her with him, though, did you? Where is she, Johnny? How does it work? I mean, what do you do? Take pictures? Share them with others? Or do you prefer to just watch while he abuses her? Shut your mouth! - Did you pimp your daughter? - That's enough.
Did you kill her? I would neverhurt my daughter.
I think you'd better leave.
Maybe it was an accident, yeah? Maybe Dale went too far? The CPS have warned me that we don't have enough to charge him with the murder of Dale Barge.
He's not the one that's going to break.
You've got 36.
4.
The majority of bruising is on the right side, just under the arm.
And this might be a little bit cold.
Oh, it's on.
I've run liver function tests and clotting screen.
Leukaemia? Platelet count is normal.
- Is the spleen enlarged? - No.
And the mother brought the child in by herself? Yes.
The father didn't arrive until some time later.
There appears to be appropriate bonding between parents and child.
No previous convictions.
She can't or won't explain the bruises? No.
The injuries are non-accidental.
Child abuse.
That baby should not leave the hospital with its parents.
Can we eliminate all other possibilities? They present themselves as loving parents.
Yeah, well, of course, of course they do.
Trouble is they lash out.
All of a sudden, they become filled with regret or they're worried they may have done their child serious harm.
- So what do we do? - Take a risk they're not what they seem or protect the child? It's Fitzpatrick's law - '"The science doesn't lie, people do.
'" The child's been abused.
I'll ask for an interim care order.
That would be wise.
And don't discharge the baby until she's got the order.
It's possible air entered his circulation and he died of an air embolism.
That would reduce the volume of blood found.
It's a left-to-right draw across his throat.
You can see the abrasion from the bolster of the knife.
The assailant would've applied pressure, suggesting that he was behind the victim.
You said no-one heard screams, raised voices? If the blade sliced through the trachea, the only sound would have been an aspirate hiss.
To sever the windpipe, he's going to need some leverage.
The killer must have been behind him, maybe slightly to his right.
Leans forward from the back seat and cuts his throat.
There's blood outside the car.
Driver tries to raise the alarm.
Killer pushes the body back inside.
Do you think that's what he did? Yeah, we've got a clean handprint and some motion of the body in the car once blood was present.
The rat - Hamster.
- Whatever.
did it belong to the driver? - We don't know.
- Why is there a hamster in the car? To cut through both the carotid artery and the windpipe, one wound - - the killer knew what they were doing.
- Did Daniel know his killer? Did he owe money? Revenge? I don't know.
It's over to you.
I don't understand what you're accusing us of.
We have concerns about a non-accidental injury to your son.
We have a duty to investigate the situation.
Why are they doing this, Robert?! I'd neverhurt my son.
At present, we are concerned about the risk to your son if he were to return home with you.
We will be applying to the courts for an interim care order.
Carol brought Ricky in because she was worried about him.
That's evidence of our care.
It's important that you seek legal advice and get a solicitor.
Please don't let them do this, Robert, - please! - You will be given the opportunity to challenge our recommendations.
No! - We're not leaving here without Ricky.
- We need to keep Ricky here for further observations.
You don't want to deny him the care he needs, do you? What if I want him moved to another hospital? We have a choice over his care.
For clinical reasons, I can't agree to discharge him.
- We'll make sure he's safe.
- I want another doctor.
I want another doctor now, do you hear me? I'll ask you not to threaten me.
I'm not threatening you.
I'm asking you for another doctor.
Oh What is going on here?! This is wrong.
Mr Mansfield, why don't you and your wife go home? Right, um come on.
I'll get a solicitor, we'll sort this out.
It's just a misunderstanding, that's all.
That's all it is.
Hey I'll see you.
See you soon, my little baby.
How far along are you? Jack, are you lonely? Is thatthe problem? Could you not have got a dog or a fish? Or a girlfriend? Below the belt.
Did you have to get a rat? Hey, it's a hamster.
It's also evidence.
- Well, you're not keeping it here.
- Where are we keeping him? I don't care - Nikki's office - - just not here.
- All right, we've got to feed him once a day, make sure he has plenty of water.
Are you sure it's a he? How do you tell if it's a he or a she? How do you think, Jack? Thanks for coming.
I know you would never hurt your daughter.
You tried to take her away from me.
I was worried about Lizzie, I need you to understand that.
We both want the same thing.
We don't want any harm to come to her.
If Johnny is responsible, I want you to know we will protect you, but you need to tell us.
Johnny didn't do nothing.
Did you know that Dale was sexually abusing Lizzie? No.
When did you find out? I don't know.
When you told me.
We've just told you now, Cheryl.
You don't seem too surprised.
Why is that, Cheryl? Why don't you seem surprised? You're trying to trick me.
You're always trying to trick me.
Just Just like when you made me send Johnny away.
Now, we both know what kind of temper he has.
Perhaps he lost his temper.
Just like when you tried to take Lizzie away from me.
Please, Cheryl, don't protect him.
Just tell us what happened.
Do you know where Lizzie is? No.
Does Johnny know where she is? I just want to be a mum.
That's all I want.
Why couldn't you let me be that? We have the phone records for both Cheryl and Johnny from the service provider.
They called each other repeatedly the night Lizzie disappeared.
They would, wouldn't they? Their daughter's missing.
How quickly would you report it to the police? A few hours, I guess? I'd look myself first.
She didn't report it to the police until the next day.
Can we get the physical phones? We've got a log of their calls, why do we need the phones? Cell site analysis.
- Well, we've got Johnny's.
- I need both.
- Did Lizzie have a phone? - Does.
Does Lizzie have a phone? Her mother said she didn't have one.
I thought every kid of that age had a phone.
Hey.
How's it going? Good game? - Yeah.
- Yeah, looks like fun.
We didn't have mobile phones when I was a little girl.
You didn't?! Now everyone's got them.
Yeah, you must be old.
Are you champion at that game? I'm almost as good as Lizzie.
Did she play on her phone or on yours? Hers.
Have you got her number? Service provider tells me it's a pay-as-you-go that's in credit.
There's been no calls made or received in the last three days.
Why would Cheryl say she didn't have one? We're running out of time.
We can bring in a forensic archaeologist or try ground-penetrating radar to help to find her body.
Her body? Am I ready to say that she's dead? There's been plenty of sightings.
Mostly in London, one in Sydney.
People aren't ready to think she's dead, not yet.
We should start around the allotments.
If you're going to bury her body, why would you burn her clothes? Hello? It's Deirdre.
The police called.
Daniel Garvey was found dead this morning.
Louise? Are you there? Yeah.
He loved you so much.
Mrs Garvey? - It's my daughter.
- Hi.
I'm so proud of her.
Mum.
Do you want to follow me? The identification is a formality.
- I understand.
- We can do it from a photograph.
No.
I want to do this.
I want to see him.
Ready? Cathy? Nikki? Sorry to bother you.
Your colleague Thomas said I'd find you here.
I need your help.
Actually, I need information.
Or maybe I need to give information.
Louise, slow down.
The man they found dead today, Daniel Garvey? - Why don't we speak in my office? - How did he die? It's not something that I can discuss.
I'm asking for a professional courtesy - because I may have some information.
- Louise, there are issues of confidentiality that I need to respect What are you doing here? I came to - To what?! to offer my condolences.
You ruined our life.
You made people think he was a bad man.
You made his children think he was evil - Mrs Garvey? - Mum! - Mum, stop! - He was not evil! Mrs Garvey, let go.
- He was not evil.
- It's all right.
Nikki, get her out of here.
It's all right.
The Garvey family were clients.
We had to ask the family court to intervene to protect their children.
Was Daniel murdered? Can you tell me? - We think so.
- Oh Can you tell me what happened? It's an ongoing investigation.
Oh, I appreciate that.
I will keep it in the strictestconfidence.
Daniel was a minicab driver.
He was found in his car.
At the moment, we don't know what happened.
It could have been a robbery, we just don't know.
OK, good.
Thank you.
And thank you for trusting me with the information.
Why so anxious? What is it? Obviously, the family are known to me and I worry about them.
Their eldest son, Kevin, was in care.
I'm telling you this in confidence.
Of course.
Kevin sat in front of me and said, '"I'll get rid of Daniel.
'" In those words.
I didn't make a note of them, I didn't take them seriously, I didn't tell anyone.
I didn't want to put Kevin in difficulty with the police.
He left the office agitated, so when I heard the news You thought Kevin had killed his father? It's not his biological father, it's his stepfather.
But yes, I was concerned.
He's just a teenager who wants security.
That's a long way from being a killer.
He's not a bad kid, he's a victim.
Why's this here? Jack, why is the hamster in here? Oh, Clarissa was being difficult, she didn't want it in the lab No, I mean why do you have a white hamster in here? It was in Daniel Garvey's car when his body was found.
Kevin was in the car.
Are you sure? Oh, my God! I've issued a description of Kevin and put out an order to detain him.
He told me he was staying with his grandparents.
We'll check the grandparents' house first.
Is there any way that you can prove that hamster belonged to him? No.
We can't prove it belongs to him, but we may be able to place it in his possession.
If we trim some of the fur and place it in an aliquot of water, Kevin Garvey's DNA should be on the fur and claws.
We'll need a good clean sample of Kevin's DNA to get a match, both to the hamster fur and any contact DNA that we find in the car.
Do you have his fingerprints and DNA on file? No.
No, he's never been charged with a crime.
Right, well, we can build a DNA profile from family members.
- Take samples from his mother and father.
- Father's unknown.
Well, if he was staying at his grandparents', perhaps we can we find a proxy sample of Kevin's DNA from there.
I'm Detective Inspector Rory Drennan.
Dr Nikki Alexander.
All right - is this about Daniel? We're trying to find your grandson, - Kevin Garvey.
- Why? You don't think that he? Is he staying here? He was.
He didn't come home last night.
It's my fault! How is it your fault? The boy's been in care.
I told him why - the concerns the social had about his mother and Daniel.
What concerns? Well, their ability to look after the kids properly if Daniel was living with them.
Obviously, there was some worries about him.
That's why Kevin was taken into care.
I thought he was ready to hear it.
Could you show us the room he stayed in? Yeah, of course.
- Gloves? - Yeah.
On the evening that Barge was murdered and Lizzie Craddock disappeared, there There was an unusual pattern of calls.
Thanks, Clarissa I did the work! Was GPS enabled in the phones? No.
But we can use cell site analysis.
We can see the movements of the device from the cell sites it connects to.
At 19:47, Lizzie Craddock calls her mother.
This is the last call Lizzie Craddock makes, but her phone stays on.
Cheryl Craddock called Johnny at 20:11.
Both of the calls were made from this mobile phone cell here, about a mile from Johnny Craddock's flat and the Duke of Cumberland pub.
In this part of London, the cell sites are a quarter of a mile apart, maybe a little more.
The cell from which both calls were made covers the adventure playground where Dale Barge's body was found.
The strength and angle of the signal to the cell site puts Cheryl and Lizzie in the same place, - which we think is here.
- At the crime scene? That's right.
After that, Cheryl's calling Johnny again and again, and we can see from the movement between the cell sites that he looks to be on his way to the playground.
The last call at 20:26 was both made and received in the same cell.
From 20:26 to 20:58, there are no calls.
He remains in this cell Which contains the playground and the allotment.
- Right.
- Call Drennan, tell him it's urgent.
Where does Cheryl's call come from? There.
Somewhere in that cell, on the other side of the allotment.
We can put Johnny Craddock near the scene of the murder, but there's no other physical evidence to prove he was there.
Cheryl made six calls to Johnny over the past three days from the same location she called from the night Lizzie disappeared.
But she only calls early in the morning and late at night.
- She's alive.
- I think there's a very good chance, and I think she's being held somewhere within this radius.
She's alive.
Is she being trafficked? Barge was part of the gang, Johnny fell out with him? Cheryl's calling from the same place they're holding her daughter.
I mean, would she really be part of this? If they tell you they're going to kill your daughter, what do you do? - Your complicity keeps her alive.
- So what's the best thing to do? We try and seal it off, send in an army of search teams? You'll be letting them know we're closing in.
If they move her before we find them, we've lost her.
- Has Cheryl made any calls today? - We've got her phone.
We cloned it, put a tracker in it.
Watch Cheryl, she'll take us to her daughter.
Gently's best - we don't want to alert them.
Miss Marsh? Sorry.
I've continued to run tests on Ricky Mansfield.
Did Dr Fitzpatrick authorise them? They are clinically indicated, and based on them, I've reached a conclusion I thought we'd already reached a conclusion.
Ricky Mansfield has been abused.
I put in motion the court proceedings.
Ricky Mansfield seems to have a quantitative deficiency of the VWF protein, which is affecting his platelet adhesion.
That presents itself as bruising.
I've got a written report from Dr Fitzpatrick.
He's on the management committee for the British Paediatrics Council.
You're saying he's wrong? He didn't have all the information.
Does he know you're doing this behind his back? - I'm trying to protect my patient.
- So am I.
Cheryl! Are you home? I've got your phone.
Have you seen her? I love it when a plan comes together What do you want to do? Wherever Lizzie is he doesn't look worried, does he? You have to have a conscience to look worried.
They're taking Mary away.
But I'm not going to let them.
I'm going to sort it.
I'll go get her and we'll get out of here, the three of us.
My father's dead.
Somebody killed him, that's what the police think.
OK OK.
Well, we'll just go and get Mary and we keep going.
- I can't! - We have to.
We have to go now.
- Don't you care? - Yeah, I care.
But I don't know, maybe he deserved it.
- What are you saying?! - Look he didn't give a shit about me, or you.
- How can you talk like that?! - Look, maybe I'm not upset that he's dead! Maybe I'm tired of him messing up my life.
Maybe I don't understand why you don't feel the same way.
I know everything about it, OK? About what?! About what he did to you.
He didn't do anything to me! Shut up, I know about it.
When you got sick, you weren't sick, you were pregnant, and he did it to you.
- No.
No, he didn't, Kevin.
- Why are you protecting him? He's the one that's caused all the trouble.
Mum doesn't want to admit it, I get that.
It's messed up, but I get it.
Just please stop pretending, cos I know it was him.
- It's not true! - Look, we're going to get away from here, the three of us.
We don't need them.
- Let's go get Mary and get out of here - Who told you?! Gramps! Gramps told me.
Gramps and Nan.
Let's just go get Mary.
Gramps did it to me.
What? Gramps got me pregnant.
I never told no-one.
I didn't want anyone to know.
It's my fault, that Gramps did that to me.
I made him do it.
That's what he said.
I made him.
Everything is my fault, what happened with the social is my fault.
It wasn't Dad's.
It was mine.
No.
None of it was your fault.
Kevin, where are you going? I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Cathy told me about Gramps.
What did she tell you? About what he did to her when she was sick.
I thought it was Daniel that did it.
I blamed him for everything, and I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Mum.
- Hi! - Sorry to bother you.
- I have a quick question.
- Well, come in.
I have a child, a year old, who has unexplained bruising along the side of his body.
Are there medical conditions that might explain it? Rather than abusive parents, you mean? Ecchymosis.
Large purple bruising? Oh, I have some photos.
Dozens - meningococcal infection, leukaemia, von Willebrand disease, um, some medications, - thrombocytopenia - But they are rare? Statistically, yes.
There are 50,573 children on the Child Protection Register right now.
I have a consultant who tells me it's child abuse and a young doctor who tells me it's a problem with platelet adhesion, parents who say nothing happened.
I have to protect a child.
Who do I believe? I would err on the side of caution.
Which side is that? - Are you OK? - I'm very experienced.
I'm good at my job.
I've seen so many damaged children, so many abusive parents, I know what is right, I know it.
In here, I know it in here.
Did you know? Did you know what he did to Cathy? How could I have let that happen? Did you know he was a monster? Did you know what he did to me? Did you know all along? I'm your little girl.
You're meant to protect me.
Miss Marsh? Kevin, I I'm so sorry, I have an appointment.
- Where's my sister Mary? - I can't stop.
Please, please, don't do this.
Tell me where she is.
I can't tell you.
I really can't tell you.
Make this easy! Let me get you some help.
I don't want help! Just tell me where I can find my baby sister.
- I know you want the best for her.
- Shut it.
The family she's with love her very much.
Give me the address.
- I can't do that.
- Look Give me the address.
I don't know it.
You say anything to anyone, I'll come back for you.
What's he doing? He's buying two train tickets to Dover.
We're in the cell.
They've gotta be here.
- I'm going.
- We need backup.
No, I'm going.
Oh! Requesting backup, please.
She's gone, Johnny! She's gone! - Where is she, Cheryl? - I don't know! She was here and I came to bring her food, - but now she's gone.
- Stop crying.
- She's gone, she's gone.
- You stop crying! You stop! - Come on! - Easy, easy.
You kept her here?! What the hell did you think you were doing?! Protecting her.
They thought you'd take their daughter away, so they hid her.
Find my girl, please! Make sure she's safe! You didn't find her? Been through the entire building.
She's not here.
Where is she? Where would you go if you were an eight-year-old girl? Lizzie! Lizzie! Lizzie? I'm across the road.
I got Mary's address - All right.
Where's your gear? I've got to wait till they go to bed, so they don't know.
Cool.
- I saw Mum.
- Is she OK? No, not really.
Do you think they'll let us live with her, all of us, together? I'll go and get Mary, and we all just go and live with Mum.
Run, Kevin.
- Run! - Hey! Kevin! Right, OK - we need to go back over all her friends, all her family, anyone that we've spoken to before, she's got to be with one of them.
Her parents don't know where she is but she has been seen - not that long ago - Playing.
She wouldn't go home - she'd be playing.
Hi, Lizzie.
Remember me? I'm Louise.
I'm going to look after you and make sure you're OK.
I know who you are.
You're the one who tried to steal me.
No, we just want to help you.
Hi, Lizzie.
Hi.
Where's my mum and dad? They're here, in the police station.
We just need to do a very quick checkup on you first.
Is that OK? Yeah.
Are you a doctor? Yeah.
Do you have lots of patients? Yeah.
What's wrong with them? My patients have already died.
You're not a good doctor.
I try to find out why they died.
I'm alive.
Yes, you are.
Have you ever seen dead people come back to life, like in the movies? - No, I haven't seen that.
- Really? I thought you would have.
Did you try to find out why Dale died? Yeah.
He said I was his girlfriend.
Do you think Dale is going to come back and get me? No.
I'm absolutely certain he's not.
Really? That's good.
Hello? Yeah, speaking.
Oh! Oh, really? Hello.
Yeah.
Sean Patrick here.
Look, I need a plate glass for the front door.
Yeah, top panel.
How soon can you get here? Yeah, that's fine, I'll be here.
OK, bye.
I did a full medical.
She's in good health.
Was she raped? Not vaginally or anally.
She's alive.
You should be happy.
Maybe she's young enough to forget.
You've given her a chance to.
Oh, yes - a chance.
I've, er I've organised some emergency foster parents for her.
That's something I didn't think I'd be doing.
I should be happy.
- Who would want to do your job? - Me.
I wanted to do it.
I always wanted to do it.
I thought I could make a difference to people.
At the beginning, it's just odd.
It just surprises you that people can be so cruel.
When you begin to find that cruelty normal it's like a long winter and you forget spring will ever come.
Spring is here.
She's alive.
Yeah.
Perspective.
Thank you.
To care about other people is a noble thing.
- You think? - Yeah.
And if you ever start to forget it, give me a call and I'll give you a pep talk.
Thanks.
Butcher's hook has completely crushed the skull.
Got catastrophic injuries to the parietal and occipital lobes of the brain.
He answered the alarm call, came over, surprised his assailant? Surprised him? Or was he lured here? Can you pull prints off the hook? If they're there, I'll find them.
It's Kevin Garvey's grandfather.
OK.
Did you tell your mum what happened? No.
What happened to Dale? I'm not meant to say.
You can tell us.
If I do, you'll take me away.
We printed a 3-D model of Lizzie's hand from photographs.
The finger bruises were made by a small hand the same size as Lizzie's.
And I found skin and blood under Lizzie's fingernails that belonged to Dale Barge.
So I followed them to the playground, and I took the screwdriver with me.
When I saw what he was doing, I went crazy, so I stabbed him.
I had to protect her, didn't I? I'm her father.
So I stabbed him.
I cleaned up.
Lizzie had blood all over her clothes.
I took the clothes down to the allotment.
I didn't want them to take Lizzie.
She means everything to me.
Cheryl and Johnny both claim to have killed him.
Is there any clear evidence who stabbed him? The angle of the wound suggests that the person who stabbed Barge was facing him.
It's unusual.
Close proximity, face-to-face.
He forced her to perform oral copulation.
Lizzie struggles grips his arm hard to force him away scratches him, bites him.
He doubles over in pain and grabs her hair.
Her head comes up sharply, catching him under the chin.
He slumps from the pain.
She plunges the screwdriver into his back.
It is completely down to chance that the blade misses bone and cuts the aorta.
Lizzie Craddock killed him.
Now, will someone please tell me what is in the public interest here? Bye, baby.
Bye, princess.
You, um You look after yourself.
See you soon, OK? Victim has suffered a major trauma to the rear of the skull.
We found two sets of fingerprints on the meat hook.
One is smudged, impossible to match.
The other matches prints I took from the hamster box Nikki collected from Kevin Garvey's room.
Places Kevin at the scene.
Thanks.
Now all we have to do is find him.
- Jack? - Huh? I need you to double-check something.
You don't think I have enough to do?! What is it? There was dried blood trapped between the bolster - and the handle of this knife.
- Yes, from a butcher's.
It was human DNA - Daniel Garvey's human DNA.
I have Kevin Garvey's prints on the hook, but not on the brick that went through the window, not on the wall.
The murder weapon and nowhere else - seem odd to you? Oh, and Daniel Garvey's blood on a knife in the shop.
Well, from what I understand, it's unlikely Daniel would have gone into the shop.
Kevin needs to put the murder weapon back, breaks in, Sean catches him writing the graffiti on the wall.
Looks like it was done with soft material - a dense sponge - or a rag? - Well, we couldn't find any rags at the scene.
A piece of meat? Ooh, that's a good shout.
A pig's heart? Worth a look, eh? We might be able to get DNA off it.
We need to compile a database of fingerprints and DNA for employees, frequent customers, suppliers.
Let's start by eliminating Sean and Delores Patrick.
If he was a rapist, who did he rape? Kevin's already been here.
Mrs Patrick? Delores? The DNA we were able to extract from the pig's heart belonged to Delores Patrick.
Fingerprints, DNA, at the scene and on the murder weapon.
She wanted to get caught.
Kevin Garvey had nothing to do with his grandfather's death.
The DNA we found on the minicab was a half-match to Kevin - a parent, not a grandparent.
My father raped me.
I didn't tell anyone.
Who'd believe me? I lived with it.
Then my daughter He raped my daughter and my granddaughter and I did nothing.
I let him lie.
I let him destroy us.
I couldn't live another day like that.
We matched the DNA to Sean Patrick.
He was Kevin's father as well as his grandfather.
Daniel was the only one who knew what had happened to me.
He helped me loved me.
Daniel came to see Sean about the lies he told Kevin.
They argued, and then they drove off, together.
Sean Patrick killed his son-in-law.
- The evidence points that way.
- And Kevin Garvey? He's innocent.
Dr Fitzpatrick believes there is no clinical explanation for the bruising, which leaves only the explanation of the parents, and, as I understand, they have no explanation.
We cannot rule out forensically that Ricky's bruises were caused by parental abuse.
They may have been.
I have seen harrowing injuries to children that could've been prevented.
I have dealt with parental deception and I have seen terrible errors in judgment in which inaction was a death sentence for a child.
Both my instinct and expertise beg the court to make an interim care order to protect the wellbeing of Ricky Mansfield.
Carol is a good mother.
But you're not with her all of the time.
No, of course not, I work.
So there are lots of hours of the day that you're not able to observe whether your wife is abusing your child.
That is out of order.
Carol adores our son.
That is bang out of order.
It's like her saying, '"Parents lie.
'" I'm not lying.
- I can see you're angry.
- Of course I'm angry.
Do you ever get angry around your son? Maybe when you're looking after him? No.
The fact that the parents cannot explain the injuries, and that a medical expert is confident they are a result of a third party, convinces me that the threshold for an interim care order is reached.
This will be for an initial eight-week period, reviewed thereafter on a four-weekly basis.
Until then, I place Ricky Mansfield in the care of social services.
No.
No! Please.
Please Miss Marsh? What happened in there? They didn't hurt their child.
Dr Fitzpatrick thinks otherwise.
I ran tests that confirmed that Ricky Mansfield has von Willebrand disease which causes unexplained bruising.
What did you say in there? I was looking after Ricky.
The science doesn't lie! You decide if you want to be a liar or not, but be careful what you do, - because I'm going to tell them.
- You can't discuss this case! I have to tell them so their child receives the medical care he needs.
I won't release him to you until I know he will.
If there's any child abuse involved here, it's by you.
I never set out to destroy anyone's life.
I hope you know that.
May I speak to Nikki Alexander, please? This is Nikki Alexander's voicemail, please leave a message.
Hi, Nikki.
I guess I'm just calling for a pep talk.
Oh, stupid, I know.
I know I'm stupid.
I'm just not strong enough.
I'm sorry.
I thought I was.
I thought I could take responsibility for others - look after those who are weak or vulnerable, to help them, cos that's what communities do, don't they? That's what makes us stronger than our weakest neighbour.
But I wasn't strong enough.
I failed Lizzie.
I failed Kevin.
And now I've failed Ricky Mansfield.
And I was meant to protectthem.
Mary? Mary? Oh! I need an ambulance.
Hurry, she's dying! Hurry! Miss Marsh! Don't you die.
Don't you die! Kevin? - Hi, Louise.
- Hi.
Uh? - Oh, sorry.
- It's OK.
I heard you were coming back.
I got your voicemail.
I'm sorry.
I was obviously not well when I left it.
Look you didn't fail Kevin Garvey.
He saved your life.
And you can still protect Ricky Mansfield, make sure he gets home safely.
You reached out to me, I'm reaching out to you.
- Welcome back.
- Thanks.
Do you make mistakes? Of course.
Do you forget them? Never.
I learn from them.
Ah Hey, Kevin? Hey.
- This is my sister, Cathy.
- Hiya.
Mum's at the solicitor's, trying to get Mary back.
We got no chance.
Maybe if we were rich or important or something I'm sorry.
Here he is.
Aw, that's sweet.
Thanks.
- No worries.
- Can I hold him? Of course.
- Aw, what's his name? - Lily.
Lily? It's a her? Yeah.
How did I get that wrong? Hee! Hi.
There.
There we are.
Hello! Hi.
We missed his first steps.
Sofia Teplov, registered nanny.
According to the party hosts she looked after Anastacia Bazhanov, daughter of Maksim Bazhanov.
You know the men and women who own these apartments, they're some of the richest people on this planet, and when they come to London they require two things - privacy and security.
Do you really believe I would put our own daughter's life in danger?! Well, who else knew I would be there? I don't give a shit what goes on behind closed doors, but two people are dead and I want to ask Mr Bazhanov why.
Have you got kids? A little girl, Lucy.
She's a terror.
You? No, never met the right woman.
My apologies, Mr Milton, I wanted to talk to you alone.
There is something - someone - I need access to in the Elysium building.
Politicians may have given London away, but we're going to take it back, piece by piece.
How much would it cost for you to tell me what you know, huh? Testator silens Costestes e spiritu Silentium
