Waking the Dead (2000) s04e12 Episode Script
Shadowplay: Part 2
David.
I got bored waiting for an invitation.
So, how did you find it? Oh, it was on your thesis.
Are you renting? Of course I'm renting.
Oh, so you've read it? PhD subsistence grants must have gone up since my day.
Yeah, I told you, I had sponsors.
Nice.
Yeah.
Do you remember I gave you Judy Walsh's case file to read? Of course.
And I arranged for you to meet her.
Of course I remember.
I only ask because you made no reference to it whatsoever.
Yeah, but after she killed herself, you stipulated that I should change Judy's name You made no reference to it whatsoever.
You're right.
That chapter needed trimming and I I don't think it was ever in there.
Why would I have asked for your help if I didn't need it? You tell me.
Look, I didn't knowingly waste your time, all right? Sometimes you do research and you don't use it! I mean, come on, what's this about? Look, I'mI'm sorry.
Yeah Wow.
Sorry? Did I just witness history there? So, what's the verdict? What do you mean? What do you think? My thesis.
Come on.
Help! Hi.
Hi, Boyd.
Yeah, a cursory trawl through the forensics on the Dukes case produced an interesting anomaly.
Ah.
Who's winning? He plays himself.
Where was this taken? Saudi.
After Dad was thrown out of the army, he made his first fortune securing oil fuels.
They must have been exciting times.
Best days of my life.
Lying out under the stars, kicking around ideas for the business.
No school in the morning.
What was it like when he remarried? That was much later.
Oh, that bad, huh? I missed having him to myself.
You're in real trouble.
I, um I wanted to talk to you on your own.
Not that I'm being rude to you, um Bryony.
Bryony.
Believe me, we've been through this every step of the way.
OK.
All right, well, perhaps we can all sit down and talk to you about your meetings with Fay Harding through the victims reconciliation programme.
Please.
Thank you.
That was a brave attempt to put the past behind him.
Moving house would've been a better bet.
That's my fault.
Why's that? Leaving here was never an option.
Why? It's my home.
"Dear Judy Walsh, "A colleague of mine from Thames Valley College has contacted me regarding research for his PhD.
"Yours truly, David Carney.
" Do you know, Mel, a cursory stab at the name Dr David Carney on the World Wide Web brings up over a hundred hits, half of which pertain to his brother, Matt.
Really? It seems that five years ago, Matt decided to change his name by deed poll to his brother's and become David Carney.
Weird or weird? Do you know why? Their father, David Carney Senior, was an eminent psychiatrist.
I think I dimly remember one of his lectures.
That would make sense - Matt being first-born felt he should take his father's name.
He took it to court, can you believe that? He lost, but silly story of the week in the national press.
Strange, though, isn't it? Yeah.
You said you, your dad and your stepmum were about to have lunch when Fay Harding appeared, yeah? That's right.
And the carving knife was on the side somewhere.
Ah, thank you.
Yes.
Sowhy were there only places set for two? There was a rugby match.
I was going to eat upstairs.
Not very sociable.
So these two places were just for your dad and your stepmum? Obviously.
Yeah, but they were wearing coats when they died, yet they were here for lunch, doing the cooking.
Why wear coats? Were they cold? The fridge and larder inventories listed nothing requiring a carving knife, only, um two bags of pasta.
Before Fay Harding murdered my father, she threw boiling water in my face.
I have no idea where the knife was.
Yeah, we know that.
Your stepmother suffered from migraines.
Migraines.
Well done.
You did your homework.
We know all this.
They got the tablets and then they came back.
They got the migraine tablets at at Watford Gap service station.
what time did Fay Harding get here? Who arrived first? Mmm? Who got there first? Adam? I'm so sorry.
I did have sexual relations with Fay Harding.
Starting when? Starting at the Christmas party.
It carried on after that? When they came back that Sunday Dad caught us.
You're out.
Dad, I'm sorry You evil piece of shit! He completely freaked.
He went to throw Fay out.
He was chucking her around like a rag doll.
She was trying to put her knickers on.
He wouldn't let her.
He was grabbing at her, calling her disgusting things.
What did you do? I tried to help her.
The boiling water wasn't meant for me.
So, for three years, people have been telling Fay Harding what she believed happened never happened.
I know what I did.
I don't think you have any idea what you did.
The reconciliation meetings.
What did you really talk about? I can't remember.
Christ, Adam! You went to see her six times! I need to understand.
She was the one who put a stop to our meetings.
Her and her psychiatrist, Carney.
If it had been down to me, I'd still be visiting her as often as I could.
Do you understand now?! He committed perjury.
Before you focus on Adam Duke, remember who put the idea in your head.
David Carney He's effectively Fay Harding's jailor.
He says she's sane, she's out.
He doesn't She stays.
What's your point? Carney did Fay Harding's assessment on the day of the murders.
So? Three meetings later with Carney and out it comes.
He gives her the story and a recommendation to the judge.
She's insane, no prison, yeah? Something like that.
Yeah, but, Grace, we have found no connection between David Carney and Fay Harding prior to these murders.
Not yet, we haven't.
Oh, yes You're driving me crazy, Grace.
You're driving me crazy.
David.
Mel.
Your phone's been switched off.
Mel, this is Fay Harding.
Fay, Mel.
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
Why'd you grant your brother access to Judy Walsh? Who said I did? "Dear Judy Walsh, my colleague from Thames Valley College" I wanted to help Matt with his PhD, OK? He spent years in Florida frittering away his inheritance money Five years ago, things weren't rosy between you.
We're brothers.
OK, so when did you patch things up? When my wife died.
I'm sorry.
Brain tumour, three years ago.
Oh, Jesus.
David, I'm so sorry! We've digressed.
Look, umcan you think of anything, other than you, that would link Judy with Fay Harding and Natasha Bloom? What about Matt? I've never discussed them with him.
Could he have seen their files at your office? They're confidential.
At home? Matt has got nothing to do with this, I promise you.
I did recommend Judy and Natasha for high-support accommodation.
At the same centre? No, the centres are co-ordinated from a national office.
The recommendations, how much patient detail would they contain? In my case, quite a bit.
Competition for beds is fierce, so you have to make the panel care about this particular patient.
OK Natasha Bloom and Judy Walsh were both successfully recommended to the High-Support Accommodation Commission.
By David Carney.
Yeah, but it's possible that Fay Harding was considered for similar housing, but not by David Carney.
How do you know that? Well, he told me.
It's unlikely, though, isn't it? Her only visit to a psychiatrist was when she was a teenager.
If her background was unstable, she could have been recommended.
Her father would've been looked at.
Her father's a church warden.
He might be dull, but I don't think he's disturbing.
You're suggesting it's to do with the Accommodation Commission.
Yes! It's a real possibility that the Shepherd is someone with access or clearance.
Employees seem a good place to start.
But not David Carney.
Sorry? You're convinced that David Carney is not involved.
From the evidence I've seen, yes.
You've obviously done a lot of research into David Carney's innocence, so perhaps you could bring in your investigation reports and we could study them in detail as a team.
Sure.
Thank you.
Each application's allotted to a panel member, who reads it and then makes their own report.
In Natasha Bloom's case, the allotted panellist is Martin Ness, which is you.
If you say so.
I don't.
It's And also with Judy Walsh.
I'm one of the full-time panellists.
I take on a lot of cases.
Could you check on another file? Fay Harding.
No.
Apart from the panellists, who has access to these files? No-one who's not approved.
Who gets approval? Mental Health Resources is the dull uncle of a glamorous profession.
When we get approached, I try to help.
Yeah, well, what kind of screening process do you operate? Letters from the ethical committee, University ID, a passport or driving licence would be a minimum.
Do you keep a list of the people who have access to these files? Am I bothering him or something? Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Most kind of you.
Right Carney, Carney Carney.
Carney, Carney.
Carney, Carney.
So Matt Carney has 15, 20 visits here to access these files? He's doing a PhD on semi-autonomous therapeutic communities.
It's pie in the sky stuff - but laudable nonetheless.
And his screening process? He had all the ID I just listed, and a letter from his brother, Dr David Carney.
You're telling me you didn't write a letter vouching for him.
I did not! He's enjoyed free access to all their files for nearly three years.
I'm going to need his home address.
Westbourne Place.
But he won't be there.
How do you know? We're meeting for lunch.
Where? He's picking me up here.
Can you keep him there? Yes.
Mel, David Carney is not Mr Gauloise, but he does have the same mitochondrial DNA.
Brother? Mother, sister, cousin.
Anyone maternally related.
Boyd, Matt Carney's at Walstead Secure Unit.
David's gonna hold him there.
I'll check out his flat.
I only got half your message.
She's from Miami University? Chair of Forensic Psychiatry.
Given your love of the place, it seemed opportune to get you two together.
Wait, listen I do not deserve you as a brother.
Now, I just want you to know that I know that, yes? We're keeping her waiting.
What the hell's going on? Tell me about semi-autonomous therapeutic communities.
What? Or the letter to the Accommodation Commission? No, forget that why not tell me about Judy Walsh and Natasha Bloom? Natasha Bloom? My patients! Matt! OK, whatever you think you know, David The police will be here in a few minutes.
Let me out of here now.
What have you done? Oh, it's pathetic! OK, three years ago, I got a call from this guy.
I don't know who he was.
I never saw him.
I always assumed he was a doctor you'd pissed off.
Anyway, I just copied some files and mailed them to a PO Box.
Which files? Every referral you'd made to the commission.
If the patient was female and under 30, he wanted a copy.
Why? Just let me out! Why female?! Are the police really coming? You copied the files for yourself! No.
He'd read about our court case.
YOUR court case! This guy exists.
He was my sponsor.
I don't have an enemy in the world, Matt, a real enemy.
Except you.
How else is anyone going to get to you except through me? You've never put a foot wrong! David! Don't leave me here! BANGING Jesus, Matt! Bastard! Bastard.
Bastard.
DOOR SLAMS SHUT Oh, shit.
Come on.
Come on! KNOCK ON DOOR I phoned ahead.
I was told the warrant would be ready.
Great.
Thanks.
You need to sign.
Have you got a pen? Thanks.
Cheers.
Where's he gone? We had a fight.
Apparently.
Do you have any idea what he's gonna do? Grab a suitcase and run away.
Where? Florida, probably.
PHONE RINGS Answering machine.
Leave a message.
Shit, my phone! Mel, this is Grace.
Please can you ring us as soon as you get this message? It's a matter of urgency, OK? Hello? Are you all right? What's your name? Is he dead? What's your name? Emily.
Emily.
I'm Mel.
Is your hand OK? My hand? Are you hurt? I'm fine.
Maybe I should take that? OK.
OK.
They were going to fail me.
They were going to fail me so when I disappeared no-one would ask questions.
"She was upset.
"She was depressed.
She must have thrown herself off a bridge.
" OK He was the only one who understood how smart they were.
Do you mean him? No.
He was the one who was supposed to kill me.
Who told you that? He did.
He? 'RTA at junction 12.
Police at scene.
Backup required.
' This is DS Silver, Cold Case Unit.
I need urgent assistance.
I'm at Emily, no! Stop it! Get off! Aaaargh! GUNSHOT All right, Spence? Who? Mel.
No.
PHONE RINGS Yeah Frankie, I want you to come and process this scene.
What? I want you to do it, all right? Right.
Bring Spence and get yourself driven.
Her name was Emily Dell.
First year at University College.
Diagnosed with paranoid psychosis by David Carney who recommended her for high-support accommodation.
Her thingwas authority figures.
Uniformspolice.
If any of you don't want to carry on with this case, I'll understand.
This morning.
Amelia Silver, Detective Sergeant.
Yeah, she'd been with me for four years.
Thank you, sir.
No, I understand.
No, I do.
I understand that I can't continue.
Yes.
Yes, I'll wait for your call.
Thank you, sir.
Oh! It was Matt Carney's thumbprint on the cigarette.
There are no fingerprints on the box, the binoculars or the crucifix.
They've all been wiped clean.
The only trace evidence of any kind is that - fibres here that appear to be caught in some kind of resin.
So .
.
Matt Carney was the Shepherd.
Well, the evidence seems conclusive, doesn't it? He didn't have Fay Harding's file in the flat.
No, but he gave her one of these crucifixes.
She was the first one.
How did he get that crucifix to her? He was in the confessional, like Fay said.
Why the doubts? I want to know how he got started.
He had ã90,000 in his bank account.
He was a student.
His thumbprint was on the cigarette.
He watched the house burn.
Why did he do all this? Revenge on his brother.
It's not difficult to raid someone's rubbish, place it somewhere.
I don't believe this! It's a bit of a coincidence.
It's a trail A trail that leads straight to Matt Carney! Ssh! I'm just taking it all in, Spence.
We're all just taking it all in, OK? The commissioner wants us off the case.
He's given us a 24-hour cool-off, then they'll come and collect the files.
Spence.
Dr Carney.
My name is Simone Joyce QC and I am now convening this mental health review tribunal in respect of Miss Fay Harding.
Dr Carney, you have been Miss Harding's medical officer since her arrival here in October 2001? That's correct.
Do you believe the patient is suffering from a mental disorder? Yes, I do.
Do you believe the nature or degree to warrant compulsory detention in a hospital? No, I do not.
MURMURING Let me repeat the question.
I heard the question.
Dr Carney, this appeal was granted on the basis that you were opposed to Miss Harding being granted leave of any form.
I am aware of that.
You are now recommending her for release? Yes, I am.
Would you mind telling us on what grounds? It is a doctor's right, his responsibility, to re-evaluate a patient's condition on a daily basis, and that is what I have done.
You're right.
They listened to David Carney.
Fay Harding is out on leave this weekend.
God! If he can show that four separate women have been manipulated, and Fay's not culpable, and if that manipulator is seen to be Matt Carney, his brother, and he's dead .
.
Machiavellian, narcissistic, grandiose, he'll have masterminded the whole thing.
When I said about David Carney being Fay Harding's jailor If somebody else wanted Fay Harding released .
.
then David Carney is the object of manipulation.
So I might not have made a huge, horrendous, horrible mistake.
It's possible.
MUFFLED VOICE Thank you.
You asked Mel to check out Adam Duke again.
This turned up.
He was asked to leave medical school, beat up his tutor.
Broken jaw, detached retina.
He claimed the guy made a move on him.
Turns out, he WAS sleeping with a male undergraduate, but didn't prosecute because he didn't want it to come out in court.
The real reason for the attack was Adam's tutor was gonna make him re-sit his first year.
OK.
Thanks, Spence.
I'm just gonna go out for a bit, all right? If the commissioner calls We're still cooling off.
Yeah.
All right if I? 'He passed me a crucifix through the grill.
' Now, the resin we found on the box turned out to be something much more interesting.
Yeah? It contains animal cells.
Form of decay? Well, I used solvent to liquefy the sample for a precipitant test.
Anti-pig, anti-cow, or anti-dog, anti-horse, anti-cat serum.
How did you settle on these? It's all the lab had at such short notice, Spence, is how I settled on these! Look, Frankie, I'm Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
I know.
Now, the matching sample turns cloudy on contact with this.
It's horse.
Used in the preparation of what? 'They listened to David Carney.
'Fay Harding's out on leave this weekend.
' It's getting heavier.
Hopefully, by Christmas, you'll be home for good, you know? Yeah? Auntie Jean was gonna pop over, but she couldn't get her car started.
I offered to pick her up, but she had to wait for the AA man.
Look, don't take this the wrong way, Dad, but it's a long time since I've been on my own, really on my own.
Well, you can go straight to your room, it's all ready for you.
I'd like to walk home, cut through the allotments like I used to on the way home from school.
Whatever you want to do.
You take this.
I'll be all right.
I'ller I'll see you at home, then.
I checked the file.
Fay Harding was not wearing the crucifix when she was arrested.
Nor was it listed in her personal effects until her second year at Walstead Secure Unit.
So, how did she get it? Who had access to her? David Carney.
Her father Neville.
Adam Duke.
Personally, I'd go with Adam Duke.
The sample on the box in Matt Carney's flat is a Chinese ointment designed to reduce inflation on healed burn scars.
And the fibres are from a grey carpet, not domestic.
Car? The sample does suggest contact with a spillage, so, yes, I'd like access to Adam Duke's car.
'Somebody carried Joshua out of that building, Natasha.
'Are you saying that it wasn't you?' 'A high-bandwidth receiver means 'the Shepherd would have been close by when he spoke to her.
' 'Did she mention meeting anyone there?' 'If somebody else wanted Fay Harding freed, 'then David Carney becomes the object of manipulation.
' So, maybe it wasn't just Fay who was humiliated by being thrown out of the house.
What was it Adam said to us, Spence? "Leaving home was .
.
never an option.
" Never an option.
Leaving home was never an option.
Self-inflicted wounds to avoid suspicion? Water burns have a catastrophic short-term effect, but within a few weeks, with the right treatment, you hardly notice them.
And by then, Adam Duke was beyond suspicion.
Exactly.
Are we saying Adam threw boiling water on himself? That's the track I'm on at the moment, yeah.
We've got evidence that links Fay to Lindsey's killing, but the thing only that links Fay to Gary Duke's killing is her confession.
The two murders are so different because they were committed by Two different people.
Yes.
Yeah, but why kill the father he loves? Those stab wounds were inflicted in anger.
What triggered that anger? Feelings of inadequacy, failure, rejection.
The perfect father didn't get a model son.
You're out.
You're out! Dad, I'm sorry.
You evil piece of shit! No, get off him.
You're never gonna spend another night in this house.
Dad! Get out! Get out of it.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere! Gary Duke's expectations of his son were very high.
Adam's constant failure to meet them led to low self-esteem and a life dogged with disappointment.
He was a loser, basically.
Well, he was totally dependent on his father for his emotional and physical welfare.
When Gary decided to throw him out of the family home, he snapped.
Gary! Yeah, but why not kill Lindsey, too? She was a target for his anger.
Yeah, but Fay acts first.
Lindsey saw the murder, runs for help.
Fay goes after her, we know that.
She didn't have any idea what she was gonna do, but it doesn't matter, because Lindsey got zapped by the electric fence.
Now she's an accessory.
And Adam's in debt to her.
So, they've got to act fast.
Fay has the history of mental illness, so Adam persuades her to take the rap.
Diminished responsibility.
Yeah, but then he takes the boiling water in the face.
But why go to such bizarre lengths to secure Fay's release? If Adam takes the boiling water in the face, he's a victim, not a suspect.
And if Fay is revealed as only one of several mentally-ill young women incited to murder by a third party, the Shepherd In the eyes of the law, she's not guilty.
She can be released.
Adam finds Matt Carney, vindictive brother and failed psychiatrist.
And frames him.
Now, that is one very credible dead Shepherd with a motive.
And Adam goes scot-free.
What's in it for her? Adam Duke.
She loves him, he owes her.
I saw a documentary about New Zealand the other day.
We could stay here.
People would talk.
People would scream blue murder, but would we care? I don't want to live here.
Let's not rule anything out.
I'M ruling it out.
You've screwed Bryony too many times upstairs.
Only under duress.
Tell me again what you said to her.
But if it had been down to me, I'd still be visiting her as often as I could.
Do you understand now?! There's a childishness in the way they went about it, and the more he gets away with it, the more powerful it becomes.
Yeah.
The more complex he makes it, the more his elevation to genius.
Yes, he's no longer runt of the pack.
He's now the lord of his own chaotic, obsessive world.
Dad's dead, he's got his own crazy queen, Queen Fay.
Machiavellian, narcissistic Grandiose.
.
.
grandiose.
What about Fay? He's swapped his dependency from his dad onto Fay.
He's bound to her.
She knows the truth.
Yeah, but he won't like that.
She's a threat, a weakness.
"You're only as strong as your weakest link.
" You never learn, do you? You're only as strong as your weakest link.
OK.
Come here.
No.
The church has not been attended.
You haven't changed.
That's a compliment after what I've been through.
I don't remember the first visit to the burns unit being a laugh.
You haven't changed.
BUZZER Christ, Adam, I'm not supposed to be within a mile of you or this house.
It's all right, it's all right.
BUZZER Shit! Shit! I'll get rid of them.
Changing rooms, lock the door behind you.
OK.
We're back.
Maybe I could give you a hand, if I knew what you were looking for.
He's had it valeted very recently and they did a really good job, but I want to impound it.
So you didn't find any of the Chinese stuff? No.
Spence! Let's go.
Did you find what you were looking for? Shit! It's me.
They've gone.
What? They've gone.
Fay I don't love you.
I'm IN love with you.
You were supposed to protect me! You were supposed to protect me! She just came at me.
You were supposed to protect me.
The court said you'd protect me.
Oh, God.
She just came at me.
I had to do it.
What are you doing with her? She's dead.
Call an ambulance! She's got NOTHING to say.
I got bored waiting for an invitation.
So, how did you find it? Oh, it was on your thesis.
Are you renting? Of course I'm renting.
Oh, so you've read it? PhD subsistence grants must have gone up since my day.
Yeah, I told you, I had sponsors.
Nice.
Yeah.
Do you remember I gave you Judy Walsh's case file to read? Of course.
And I arranged for you to meet her.
Of course I remember.
I only ask because you made no reference to it whatsoever.
Yeah, but after she killed herself, you stipulated that I should change Judy's name You made no reference to it whatsoever.
You're right.
That chapter needed trimming and I I don't think it was ever in there.
Why would I have asked for your help if I didn't need it? You tell me.
Look, I didn't knowingly waste your time, all right? Sometimes you do research and you don't use it! I mean, come on, what's this about? Look, I'mI'm sorry.
Yeah Wow.
Sorry? Did I just witness history there? So, what's the verdict? What do you mean? What do you think? My thesis.
Come on.
Help! Hi.
Hi, Boyd.
Yeah, a cursory trawl through the forensics on the Dukes case produced an interesting anomaly.
Ah.
Who's winning? He plays himself.
Where was this taken? Saudi.
After Dad was thrown out of the army, he made his first fortune securing oil fuels.
They must have been exciting times.
Best days of my life.
Lying out under the stars, kicking around ideas for the business.

What was it like when he remarried? That was much later.
Oh, that bad, huh? I missed having him to myself.
You're in real trouble.
I, um I wanted to talk to you on your own.
Not that I'm being rude to you, um Bryony.
Bryony.
Believe me, we've been through this every step of the way.
OK.
All right, well, perhaps we can all sit down and talk to you about your meetings with Fay Harding through the victims reconciliation programme.
Please.
Thank you.
That was a brave attempt to put the past behind him.
Moving house would've been a better bet.
That's my fault.
Why's that? Leaving here was never an option.
Why? It's my home.

David Carney He's effectively Fay Harding's jailor.
He says she's sane, she's out.
He doesn't She stays.
What's your point? Carney did Fay Harding's assessment on the day of the murders.
So? Three meetings later with Carney and out it comes.
He gives her the story and a recommendation to the judge.
She's insane, no prison, yeah? Something like that.
Yeah, but, Grace, we have found no connection between David Carney and Fay Harding prior to these murders.
Not yet, we haven't.
Oh, yes You're driving me crazy, Grace.
You're driving me crazy.
David.
Mel.
Your phone's been switched off.
Mel, this is Fay Harding.
Fay, Mel.
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
Why'd you grant your brother access to Judy Walsh? Who said I did? "Dear Judy Walsh, my colleague from Thames Valley College" I wanted to help Matt with his PhD, OK? He spent years in Florida frittering away his inheritance money Five years ago, things weren't rosy between you.
We're brothers.
OK, so when did you patch things up? When my wife died.
I'm sorry.
Brain tumour, three years ago.
Oh, Jesus.
David, I'm so sorry! We've digressed.
Look, umcan you think of anything, other than you, that would link Judy with Fay Harding and Natasha Bloom? What about Matt? I've never discussed them with him.
Could he have seen their files at your office? They're confidential.
At home? Matt has got nothing to do with this, I promise you.
I did recommend Judy and Natasha for high-support accommodation.
At the same centre? No, the centres are co-ordinated from a national office.
The recommendations, how much patient detail would they contain? In my case, quite a bit.
Competition for beds is fierce, so you have to make the panel care about this particular patient.
OK Natasha Bloom and Judy Walsh were both successfully recommended to the High-Support Accommodation Commission.
By David Carney.
Yeah, but it's possible that Fay Harding was considered for similar housing, but not by David Carney.
How do you know that? Well, he told me.
It's unlikely, though, isn't it? Her only visit to a psychiatrist was when she was a teenager.
If her background was unstable, she could have been recommended.
Her father would've been looked at.
Her father's a church warden.
He might be dull, but I don't think he's disturbing.
You're suggesting it's to do with the Accommodation Commission.
Yes! It's a real possibility that the Shepherd is someone with access or clearance.
Employees seem a good place to start.
But not David Carney.
Sorry? You're convinced that David Carney is not involved.
From the evidence I've seen, yes.
You've obviously done a lot of research into David Carney's innocence, so perhaps you could bring in your investigation reports and we could study them in detail as a team.
Sure.
Thank you.
Each application's allotted to a panel member, who reads it and then makes their own report.
In Natasha Bloom's case, the allotted panellist is Martin Ness, which is you.
If you say so.
I don't.
It's And also with Judy Walsh.
I'm one of the full-time panellists.
I take on a lot of cases.
Could you check on another file? Fay Harding.
No.
Apart from the panellists, who has access to these files? No-one who's not approved.
Who gets approval? Mental Health Resources is the dull uncle of a glamorous profession.
When we get approached, I try to help.
Yeah, well, what kind of screening process do you operate? Letters from the ethical committee, University ID, a passport or driving licence would be a minimum.
Do you keep a list of the people who have access to these files? Am I bothering him or something? Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Most kind of you.
Right Carney, Carney Carney.
Carney, Carney.
Carney, Carney.
So Matt Carney has 15, 20 visits here to access these files? He's doing a PhD on semi-autonomous therapeutic communities.
It's pie in the sky stuff - but laudable nonetheless.
And his screening process? He had all the ID I just listed, and a letter from his brother, Dr David Carney.
You're telling me you didn't write a letter vouching for him.
I did not! He's enjoyed free access to all their files for nearly three years.
I'm going to need his home address.
Westbourne Place.
But he won't be there.
How do you know? We're meeting for lunch.
Where? He's picking me up here.
Can you keep him there? Yes.
Mel, David Carney is not Mr Gauloise, but he does have the same mitochondrial DNA.
Brother? Mother, sister, cousin.
Anyone maternally related.
Boyd, Matt Carney's at Walstead Secure Unit.
David's gonna hold him there.
I'll check out his flat.
I only got half your message.
She's from Miami University? Chair of Forensic Psychiatry.
Given your love of the place, it seemed opportune to get you two together.
Wait, listen I do not deserve you as a brother.
Now, I just want you to know that I know that, yes? We're keeping her waiting.
What the hell's going on? Tell me about semi-autonomous therapeutic communities.
What? Or the letter to the Accommodation Commission? No, forget that why not tell me about Judy Walsh and Natasha Bloom? Natasha Bloom? My patients! Matt! OK, whatever you think you know, David The police will be here in a few minutes.
Let me out of here now.
What have you done? Oh, it's pathetic! OK, three years ago, I got a call from this guy.
I don't know who he was.
I never saw him.
I always assumed he was a doctor you'd pissed off.
Anyway, I just copied some files and mailed them to a PO Box.
Which files? Every referral you'd made to the commission.
If the patient was female and under 30, he wanted a copy.
Why? Just let me out! Why female?! Are the police really coming? You copied the files for yourself! No.
He'd read about our court case.
YOUR court case! This guy exists.
He was my sponsor.
I don't have an enemy in the world, Matt, a real enemy.
Except you.
How else is anyone going to get to you except through me? You've never put a foot wrong! David! Don't leave me here! BANGING Jesus, Matt! Bastard! Bastard.
Bastard.
DOOR SLAMS SHUT Oh, shit.
Come on.
Come on! KNOCK ON DOOR I phoned ahead.
I was told the warrant would be ready.
Great.
Thanks.
You need to sign.
Have you got a pen? Thanks.
Cheers.
Where's he gone? We had a fight.
Apparently.
Do you have any idea what he's gonna do? Grab a suitcase and run away.
Where? Florida, probably.
PHONE RINGS Answering machine.
Leave a message.
Shit, my phone! Mel, this is Grace.
Please can you ring us as soon as you get this message? It's a matter of urgency, OK? Hello? Are you all right? What's your name? Is he dead? What's your name? Emily.
Emily.
I'm Mel.
Is your hand OK? My hand? Are you hurt? I'm fine.
Maybe I should take that? OK.
OK.
They were going to fail me.
They were going to fail me so when I disappeared no-one would ask questions.
"She was upset.
"She was depressed.
She must have thrown herself off a bridge.
" OK He was the only one who understood how smart they were.
Do you mean him? No.
He was the one who was supposed to kill me.
Who told you that? He did.
He? 'RTA at junction 12.
Police at scene.
Backup required.
' This is DS Silver, Cold Case Unit.
I need urgent assistance.
I'm at Emily, no! Stop it! Get off! Aaaargh! GUNSHOT All right, Spence? Who? Mel.
No.
PHONE RINGS Yeah Frankie, I want you to come and process this scene.
What? I want you to do it, all right? Right.
Bring Spence and get yourself driven.
Her name was Emily Dell.
First year at University College.
Diagnosed with paranoid psychosis by David Carney who recommended her for high-support accommodation.
Her thingwas authority figures.
Uniformspolice.
If any of you don't want to carry on with this case, I'll understand.
This morning.
Amelia Silver, Detective Sergeant.
Yeah, she'd been with me for four years.
Thank you, sir.
No, I understand.
No, I do.
I understand that I can't continue.
Yes.
Yes, I'll wait for your call.
Thank you, sir.
Oh! It was Matt Carney's thumbprint on the cigarette.
There are no fingerprints on the box, the binoculars or the crucifix.
They've all been wiped clean.
The only trace evidence of any kind is that - fibres here that appear to be caught in some kind of resin.
So .
.
Matt Carney was the Shepherd.
Well, the evidence seems conclusive, doesn't it? He didn't have Fay Harding's file in the flat.
No, but he gave her one of these crucifixes.
She was the first one.
How did he get that crucifix to her? He was in the confessional, like Fay said.
Why the doubts? I want to know how he got started.
He had ã90,000 in his bank account.
He was a student.
His thumbprint was on the cigarette.
He watched the house burn.
Why did he do all this? Revenge on his brother.
It's not difficult to raid someone's rubbish, place it somewhere.
I don't believe this! It's a bit of a coincidence.
It's a trail A trail that leads straight to Matt Carney! Ssh! I'm just taking it all in, Spence.
We're all just taking it all in, OK? The commissioner wants us off the case.
He's given us a 24-hour cool-off, then they'll come and collect the files.
Spence.
Dr Carney.
My name is Simone Joyce QC and I am now convening this mental health review tribunal in respect of Miss Fay Harding.
Dr Carney, you have been Miss Harding's medical officer since her arrival here in October 2001? That's correct.
Do you believe the patient is suffering from a mental disorder? Yes, I do.
Do you believe the nature or degree to warrant compulsory detention in a hospital? No, I do not.
MURMURING Let me repeat the question.
I heard the question.
Dr Carney, this appeal was granted on the basis that you were opposed to Miss Harding being granted leave of any form.
I am aware of that.
You are now recommending her for release? Yes, I am.
Would you mind telling us on what grounds? It is a doctor's right, his responsibility, to re-evaluate a patient's condition on a daily basis, and that is what I have done.
You're right.
They listened to David Carney.
Fay Harding is out on leave this weekend.
God! If he can show that four separate women have been manipulated, and Fay's not culpable, and if that manipulator is seen to be Matt Carney, his brother, and he's dead .
.
Machiavellian, narcissistic, grandiose, he'll have masterminded the whole thing.
When I said about David Carney being Fay Harding's jailor If somebody else wanted Fay Harding released .
.
then David Carney is the object of manipulation.
So I might not have made a huge, horrendous, horrible mistake.
It's possible.
MUFFLED VOICE Thank you.
You asked Mel to check out Adam Duke again.
This turned up.
He was asked to leave medical school, beat up his tutor.
Broken jaw, detached retina.
He claimed the guy made a move on him.
Turns out, he WAS sleeping with a male undergraduate, but didn't prosecute because he didn't want it to come out in court.
The real reason for the attack was Adam's tutor was gonna make him re-sit his first year.
OK.
Thanks, Spence.
I'm just gonna go out for a bit, all right? If the commissioner calls We're still cooling off.
Yeah.
All right if I? 'He passed me a crucifix through the grill.
' Now, the resin we found on the box turned out to be something much more interesting.
Yeah? It contains animal cells.
Form of decay? Well, I used solvent to liquefy the sample for a precipitant test.
Anti-pig, anti-cow, or anti-dog, anti-horse, anti-cat serum.
How did you settle on these? It's all the lab had at such short notice, Spence, is how I settled on these! Look, Frankie, I'm Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
I know.
Now, the matching sample turns cloudy on contact with this.
It's horse.
Used in the preparation of what? 'They listened to David Carney.
'Fay Harding's out on leave this weekend.
' It's getting heavier.
Hopefully, by Christmas, you'll be home for good, you know? Yeah? Auntie Jean was gonna pop over, but she couldn't get her car started.
I offered to pick her up, but she had to wait for the AA man.
Look, don't take this the wrong way, Dad, but it's a long time since I've been on my own, really on my own.
Well, you can go straight to your room, it's all ready for you.
I'd like to walk home, cut through the allotments like I used to on the way home from school.
Whatever you want to do.
You take this.
I'll be all right.
I'ller I'll see you at home, then.
I checked the file.
Fay Harding was not wearing the crucifix when she was arrested.
Nor was it listed in her personal effects until her second year at Walstead Secure Unit.
So, how did she get it? Who had access to her? David Carney.
Her father Neville.
Adam Duke.
Personally, I'd go with Adam Duke.
The sample on the box in Matt Carney's flat is a Chinese ointment designed to reduce inflation on healed burn scars.
And the fibres are from a grey carpet, not domestic.
Car? The sample does suggest contact with a spillage, so, yes, I'd like access to Adam Duke's car.
'Somebody carried Joshua out of that building, Natasha.
'Are you saying that it wasn't you?' 'A high-bandwidth receiver means 'the Shepherd would have been close by when he spoke to her.
' 'Did she mention meeting anyone there?' 'If somebody else wanted Fay Harding freed, 'then David Carney becomes the object of manipulation.
' So, maybe it wasn't just Fay who was humiliated by being thrown out of the house.
What was it Adam said to us, Spence? "Leaving home was .
.
never an option.
" Never an option.
Leaving home was never an option.
Self-inflicted wounds to avoid suspicion? Water burns have a catastrophic short-term effect, but within a few weeks, with the right treatment, you hardly notice them.
And by then, Adam Duke was beyond suspicion.
Exactly.
Are we saying Adam threw boiling water on himself? That's the track I'm on at the moment, yeah.
We've got evidence that links Fay to Lindsey's killing, but the thing only that links Fay to Gary Duke's killing is her confession.
The two murders are so different because they were committed by Two different people.
Yes.
Yeah, but why kill the father he loves? Those stab wounds were inflicted in anger.
What triggered that anger? Feelings of inadequacy, failure, rejection.
The perfect father didn't get a model son.
You're out.
You're out! Dad, I'm sorry.
You evil piece of shit! No, get off him.
You're never gonna spend another night in this house.
Dad! Get out! Get out of it.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere! Gary Duke's expectations of his son were very high.
Adam's constant failure to meet them led to low self-esteem and a life dogged with disappointment.
He was a loser, basically.
Well, he was totally dependent on his father for his emotional and physical welfare.
When Gary decided to throw him out of the family home, he snapped.
Gary! Yeah, but why not kill Lindsey, too? She was a target for his anger.
Yeah, but Fay acts first.
Lindsey saw the murder, runs for help.
Fay goes after her, we know that.
She didn't have any idea what she was gonna do, but it doesn't matter, because Lindsey got zapped by the electric fence.
Now she's an accessory.
And Adam's in debt to her.
So, they've got to act fast.
Fay has the history of mental illness, so Adam persuades her to take the rap.
Diminished responsibility.
Yeah, but then he takes the boiling water in the face.
But why go to such bizarre lengths to secure Fay's release? If Adam takes the boiling water in the face, he's a victim, not a suspect.
And if Fay is revealed as only one of several mentally-ill young women incited to murder by a third party, the Shepherd In the eyes of the law, she's not guilty.
She can be released.
Adam finds Matt Carney, vindictive brother and failed psychiatrist.
And frames him.
Now, that is one very credible dead Shepherd with a motive.
And Adam goes scot-free.
What's in it for her? Adam Duke.
She loves him, he owes her.
I saw a documentary about New Zealand the other day.
We could stay here.
People would talk.
People would scream blue murder, but would we care? I don't want to live here.
Let's not rule anything out.
I'M ruling it out.
You've screwed Bryony too many times upstairs.
Only under duress.
Tell me again what you said to her.
But if it had been down to me, I'd still be visiting her as often as I could.
Do you understand now?! There's a childishness in the way they went about it, and the more he gets away with it, the more powerful it becomes.
Yeah.
The more complex he makes it, the more his elevation to genius.
Yes, he's no longer runt of the pack.
He's now the lord of his own chaotic, obsessive world.
Dad's dead, he's got his own crazy queen, Queen Fay.
Machiavellian, narcissistic Grandiose.
.
.
grandiose.
What about Fay? He's swapped his dependency from his dad onto Fay.
He's bound to her.
She knows the truth.
Yeah, but he won't like that.
She's a threat, a weakness.
"You're only as strong as your weakest link.
" You never learn, do you? You're only as strong as your weakest link.
OK.
Come here.
No.
The church has not been attended.
You haven't changed.
That's a compliment after what I've been through.
I don't remember the first visit to the burns unit being a laugh.
You haven't changed.
BUZZER Christ, Adam, I'm not supposed to be within a mile of you or this house.
It's all right, it's all right.
BUZZER Shit! Shit! I'll get rid of them.
Changing rooms, lock the door behind you.
OK.
We're back.
Maybe I could give you a hand, if I knew what you were looking for.
He's had it valeted very recently and they did a really good job, but I want to impound it.
So you didn't find any of the Chinese stuff? No.
Spence! Let's go.
Did you find what you were looking for? Shit! It's me.
They've gone.
What? They've gone.
Fay I don't love you.
I'm IN love with you.
You were supposed to protect me! You were supposed to protect me! She just came at me.
You were supposed to protect me.
The court said you'd protect me.
Oh, God.
She just came at me.
I had to do it.
What are you doing with her? She's dead.
Call an ambulance! She's got NOTHING to say.
