Waking the Dead (2000) s08e06 Episode Script

Substitute: Part 2

I'vediscovered evidence providing a break in the Briony Havers case.
Stefan Koscinski.
He's35 years old, he was born in the Ukraine, he's also an aid worker And it's his DNA on the sheets? And where did that other sample come from? From me.
He hasmultiple passports multiple identities.
I wanted to know which one I was sleeping with.
She took the guy's DNA without him knowing.
We can investigate without reference to Eve.
We build our own case.
We cover up why we're taking this case?You have a problem with that? It's a conflict of interest! Are you in love with this man? Because thatwould complicate everything.
I don't like water getting on my skin.
I don't like it touching me.
Is it a phobia? I was on the Nordland Conveyor.
The ferry disaster? Olena! My name is Georg.
I want to meet.
He said I would get maybe10,000? Absolutely.
Could you do a quick DNA swab on Mr Koscinski for me, please? Eve? You've been spying on me.
Where is Olena Kuzmich? Help me! Help me! She always needs to be right.
No, she needs him to be innocent.
Hang on.
Let me get this straight.
Council tax records list Scaynes Farm as closed in 2001 but you've been supplying them with electricity since 2003 on a business, not domestic, tariff.
Yeah, well, what is that business? Yeah, what's it called? Thank you.
OK, OK.
It's fine.
It's OK.
OK.
It's all right.
It's OK.
OK, OK.
I'm here to help you.
OK.
OK, OK, OK.
OK.
You all right?Yeah.
The farm closed down five years ago.
Since then it's been rented through an agency in Reading.
Who? That's where it gets complicated.
A company called BBM Enterprises, with a registered address in Copenhagen That's just an address, they're a shell company.
There are corneas in there.
Human corneas.
I bet they were the perfect tenants though, eh? Who are "they", exactly? Well, say your husband's dying, or your child They need a transplant - kidney, heart, liver - but there isn't one available, you'll lose the person you love most in the world .
.
you'd pay anything to stop that happening, wouldn't you? Anyone would.
These are the people that you would call.
Look what we've found.
Olena Kuzmich.
'Eve?' It's me.
Look, don't worry.
I'm not phoning to say I'm sorry but, well, I am sorry actually, but that's not why I'm phoning.
I just need you to do something for me, please.
And this resignation business, you know, it it doesn't help.
Dododo you understand that? Look, I'll talk about it when I see you, OK? We can assume we won't get anything from the man that Spencer found, right? We're dealing with the illegal organs trade and, as you can see, it's an extremely lucrative business.
¤62,000 for a kidney.
Right.
My God.
¤180,000 for a kidney and a liver combined.
Yeah.
And this is what you think Stefan's involved in?Yeah.
Take a cornea.
It's thirty grand a pop and it lasts for weeks.
You put it in a rucksack with a few coolbags and off you go.
Yeah, but that doesn't work with a kidney which has a five-hour window, max.
But how does the man in the barn fit in? This suggests that they're sourcing live victims in the UK, right? The illegal organs business You never know what you're going to need.
Could be a cornea one week, kidney, liver, whatever.
So these guys have tohave multiple lines of access.
So if you're in the UK, you can source stuff that won't travel, whatever that is, and outside the UK, you source the stuff that does travel, like corneas and whatever else travels.
OK, so let's say Briony and Stefan were involved.
Her previous business was medical supplies and she had trained as a doctor.
Yeah, and they were both on the Nordland Conveyor ferry, weren't they, 2006? They then seemed to have a relationship.
May or may not have had sex.
Yes.
And they're linked by Olena.
Stefan saved her and Briony was trying to shut her up.
Briony, not Stefan.
What's your point? Well, just let's say Eve could be right and that Stefan is a respectable aid worker.
But look at it this way.
Charities, disaster funds That gives you access to desperate people, doesn't it? Yes.
You fly off to some broken, war-torn country, right? People are frightened, hungry, weaker than you.
You are able to exploit them and they're grateful for exploitation becauseyou've kept them alive.
You come back to this country It's the perfect cover, isn't it? OK.
OK.
Briony Havers, her boyfriend.
Devlin.
Devlin.
He was also in business.
Yes.
And he could well be the commercial connection in this.
I'll get onto that.
Thanks.
It's OK, it's OK.
Is that Russian? I'll try that first.
What do you want me to say? Ask him what his name is.
He says his name's Georg and he's got a little daughter called Lilya back home.
OK, Georg.
He says he knows it's Lilya's birthday soon but he's forgotten the date and he wants us to check it for him.
Tell him Tell him that before we can do that we need to know a bit more about him, yeah? His last name and where he's from.
Nurse! Olena's body's just arrived.
We kind of need a pathologist.
We've got a pathologist.
Call her, she'll pick up if she sees it's you.
Or she'll think I've been press-ganged.
It's gone straight to voicemail.
Leave a message.
Hi, Eve.
Hi, it's Kat here.
JustOlena's body's just turned up and For God's sake, let her go.
OK, then.
Oh, no, wait, gosh.
What if she went to the police? She won't do that.
No, no, course she wouldn't, cos she is the police! Don't pretend you didn't know.
Look, I met her in a club.
She was a pick-up.
So it's just bad luck then, is it? You start screwing her, the cops start asking questions? I had no idea who she was, believe me.
You told her something.
No.
No, you didn't mean to, she just got it out of you.
It would take more than that.
Would it? Yes, Devlin.
Kristian! Maybe you love her, Stef? Yes.
That's right, I love her(!) No, no.
No.
I can understand that - the need to confess.
You want to start again, wipe the slate clean, forget all the bad stuff, be forgiven.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Up comes this beautiful woman You're feeling sad and lonely, so is she.
The sex is fantastic, but you know it's not going to last.
Because sooner or later, she's going to find out what you're really like.
And then she'll leave.
So what do you do? You tell her a littlebit of the truth.
Did you do that, Stefan? He wants to speak with you.
Hello, mate.
Yeah, how's it going? Yeah, well, to tell you the truth I'm I'm struggling with finding a matching product for you.
It's pristine, compared to the rest of it.
How is he?Dead.
We haven't got time to wait for Eve on this.
Spence Should you be doing that, Spence? No sternum No kidneys.
And I'll bet he took her heart, too.
A full organ harvest.
So where are they doing this? Well, they've got to be doing it somewhere.
And wherever that somewhere is, it's got to be sterile, otherwise the person who receives the organ will die.
So are they using a hospital to do illegal operations? Too risky.
Could be a place that's recently closed down.
There's no way they can be doing anything at the farm - there's no facilities there.
Well, we're waiting for test results on soil samples from Olena's grave and the quicklime found at Briony's flat.
Should be in by the end of the day.
You OK? Yeah.
Who are you? People know I'm missing.
They'll be looking for me.
Yeah, but they won't find you.
Tell me about yourself.
I wouldn't bother with the dignified silence thing.
OK, you are Doctor Eve Lockhart.
You're a Home Office pathologist.
Now tell me something I don't know.
Like what? Like what did Stefan here tell you? Hm? Nothing.
Pathologists wear white coats, they work in laboratories - even I know that.
They don't squeeze through fences, they don't prowl around empty corridors.
They do if they're working on a case.
Oh, do they? Really? What did he tell you? Hm? I need to know.
Listen darlin'don't let the tone of voice fool you.
My bite is much worse than my bark.
I believe you.
Well? Well? What did he say to you? "I'm not so bad"? "It wasn't my fault"? "They made me do it"? I don't know what you're talking about.
He's just a guy I met in a club.
We've got to get out of here.
What?They've found the farm.
The police are there now.
How do you know?It's all over the news.
So? What do you want to do? Do you have to do this?You said she meant nothing to you.
She doesn't.
Eve!They're going to kill me!No! Listen.
They're going to kill me.
Listen.
Listen.
You'll be all right.
Eve.
Trust me.
Everything under control? - Yes.
- Right, hold her still.
You do it.
You want to be happy, darlin'.
You're bringing someone the gift of life.
DEVLIN: Yeah, it's me.
I've got something for you.
You need to see this.
I've found four hospitals and only one hasn't been redeveloped.
St Severin's closed in September 2006.
December 2007, planning permission was granted to convert it into flats.
The developer is Michael Devlin.
Michael Devlin? Briony's boyfriend.
Yeah? Maybe it wasn't a case of opposites attract.
They were on that flight to Kiev.
Hm.
Doctor Greenberg said that Briony was threatening Olena.
Maybe she was doing it under Devlin's orders.
Michael Devlin.
Doctors reckon Georg had his Georg?Yeah, that was his name.
We've got to get down to St Severin's.
Let's go.
You stay here, right? With respect, I should be there.
No, stay with Grace.
Focus on Stefan.
I don't want to stay here.
And Briony.
You saw someone die this morning, the chances are we're going to meet the people responsible.
That's why I should be there.
I think I've said enough, haven't I? You don't trust me tohandle myself? That's it.
Kat!I see.
So, we're expected to trust you, yeah? Every time, we're expected to trust you, whatever personal bloody trauma you pass through, yeah?Exactly.
You're a hypocrite.
You look a bit peaky, mate.
You're not going to have one of your attacks, are you?No.
Let's get it over with, shall we? Scalpel.
Look, Stef, that stuff I said back there - it was just for effect, right? I mean, I had to say it, I had to check.
Yes.
I understand.
No hard feelings? Of course not.
Come here.
Steo! Victor! Victor! OK, come on, Eve.
Anything? No.
Let's check upstairs.
Stefan! Stefan, come on mate! Eve! Eve! Sir! What? There's a blood trail.
He's dead.
I know.
That's not his blood.
Eve's coat.
Eve! Eve! Eve! Eve! What are you doing? Eve! Victor, wait! Come on! Eve What are you doing, Eve? She's OK.
Eve.
All right, Spence? I secured a list of Devlin's business interests.
Seven years ago, he sank almost a million into Briony Havers' dot com business.
Which went belly up?Correct.
And it's safe to assume that, from that point on, he had his claws firmly into her.
And one day, a man like that is going to call in his debt.
Maybe he got her to recruit girls for his cleaning company while she was out doing her good works.
Mm.
Maybe they weren't even a couple.
Maybe that's just a front for mum and dad.
What makes you say that?It just seems that from the start, every assumption about this case - what we're dealing with, how it fits - has been wrong.
Hello? Yeah.
Mm-hm.
Right.
OK, thanks.
Forensics have matched the commercial blend of quicklime from the farm with the lime in Briony's carpets.
So, did our killer go to the farm earlier that day? Or did Briony walk it in herself? You can't suck the life from the poorest countries in Europe.
This was taken a month before her murder.
'Take their graduates, their artisans, their professionals, and not help those left behind.
'Because in the 21st century we're all connected.
No-one gets away free.
You can't just pay your tax and stick your fingers in your ears.
You've got to get your hands dirty.
Hm.
Would you say that was self-justification? But for what? She won't go to hospital.
I'm fine.
Got all your internal organs? Last time I looked.
He wants to talk.
I hope you didn't tell him I'd be sympathetic.
I told him you'd be fair.
That's true, isn't it? He did save my life, Boyd.
He saved Olena's, too, and look what happened to her.
So is it true, Mr Koscinski, that you've decided to come clean, you want to get things off your chest? It's not as simple as that.
Well, that's what my colleague told me.
Mind you, she'd had a rough day, so she might have got things wrong.
She said you'd listen to me.
I am listening to you.
Eve may have mentioned it.
Tell me about your relationship with Briony Havers.
Briony and I were only lovers for one night but we were bound together long before that.
We were both in Michael Devlin's debt and that's not a good place to be.
Not if you've got arudimentary knowledge of medicine.
He makes you do thingsway beyond your expertise.
I am a qualified surgeon.
So, why didn't you practice legitimately? Because, in the eyes of the GMC, the Kiev School of Medicine is not a reputable organisation.
So, to make ends meet, you carry out illegal operations for Devlin? I have never operated on an unwilling patient.
What, you mean he signed a consent form? "Would you whip out my eyes, please, I really don't need them any more"? Devlin has other surgeons he can call on.
What does he call on you for? Kidney transplants? When people like you hear a story about someone selling their kidney, you think "Oh, they must be crazy.
"They must have been exploited.
"They must be ignorant.
" Yes? Because that'sthat's because you don't know what need is, you don't know what sacrifice is.
They've taken a calculated decision, that's all.
Most people get along fine with one kidney.
I think that's a yes.
So what does the donor get from the organ sale? Less?I don't do the deals.
But you get your cut, right? Yeah? What hold has Devlin got on you? We were talking on the plane once.
I said I needed money to retrain as a doctor in the UK.
A month later he called me up and told me he could help.
He knew someone who needed a new kidney.
It was a child.
Oh, a child.
It had to be a child.
The parents were desperate and Devlin said he knew a willing donor.
Don't tell me - one of the girls from the cleaning company.
I don't know.
She might have been, yes.
So is that the price of admission? You get them into the country and they cough up a kidney? Or rustle up 20 grand, which is never going to happen on a cleaner's salary, even if you hit overtime.
You would have to ask Devlin.
So this cleaning company, it was a kind of live body farm, yeah? Ready access there, for whenever a customer called.
You know, "Give me a" I just do the operations.
You're not going to stand by him, are you? When the Nordland sank, you and Briony were trafficking people in preparation for this.
How many Olenas didn't you save? Devlin must have been pretty angry he'd lost most of his cargo.
Was that your penance, taking out Olena's heart? No.
I refused.
So, were you having a couple of beers and he said, "How would you like to rip out the heart of the woman you just saved?" He told me she committed suicide, taken an overdose and drowned herself in the bath.
Because she had this survivor's guilt, or? It was possible.
She'd tried before.
But I didn't believe him.
Why didn't you go to the police? I couldn't.
Why not? Because Briony did the operation instead.
She couldn't say no to Devlin.
She owed him.
She owed him? Briony said when she removed Olena's heart, you know, she did find evidence of drowning, but she also said she saw restraint marks on her wrists.
Just hold on a minute.
Are you saying you had sex with the woman who took out the heart of a girl you saved from drowning? I was comforting her.
We'd had a lot to drink.
She said I was the only one who'd understand.
But you'd just saved Olena's life.
You'd be the last person that she'd want to tell.
I wasn't angry with Briony.
I know most people are weak.
Most people have a secret that can be exploited.
Good people can always be co-opted into doing bad things, often without much persuasion.
But I was most definitely angry with Devlin.
I called him up.
II told him I never wanted anything more to do with him.
It was a stupid thing to do, you know.
Devlin must have known Briony talked to me and so he had her killed.
He had her killed and .
.
yes, it was my fault.
It was my fault.
And then he framed you by .
.
emptying the contents of the condom over her body.
Yes, I am Did somebody else do it? I It's the only explanation.
Is it garbage?I don't know.
But do you believe him or not? Well, the facts are right.
He's either telling the truth or he's very clever.
But my instincts are saying there's something terribly wrong.
He's lost his nerve.
Now he's just trying to bargain with us, that's all.
I assume that you heard all that? Most of it, yeah.
And are you convinced by what he said?Yes.
So you're someone who's beenabducted, drugged, nearly killed by this man, and you're absolutely convinced by him? He could've let me die.
He didn't.
He risked his own life.
What about the fact that every time he comes into this country he brings a human organ? Is that because he's being blackmailed by Devlin? You're not even prepared to consider the possibility of innocence.
You're not prepared to go there! I'm trying to find out if he's a murderer or if he's not a murderer.
Then use him.
With his help you could roll up this whole organisation.
No, I can't, I can't I'm not prepared to negotiate with someone who could bea murderer.
I Grace? No, you can't.
Your relationship with Eve I understand.
In a way you feel guilty, you want to be forgiven, you want her to put the good back into you.
I ambeginning to understand.
Me too.
You're the one who really needs a heart.
Olena, Briony, Eve - you just took theirs from them, all in different ways.
But yousucked the lifeout of them.
It's all about control for you, isn't it? That's what this is really about.
Evebelieves in me.
She trusts me.
I have taken her away from you and you will do anything to get her back.
Can I have one? Here.
I'm going back in.
OK.
Here.
Are you allowed to in here? Who cares? This is all reallyacademic now.
We don't have a case against you.
You've tainted the evidence, so none of this would hold up in court.
You've made sure of that.
Soyou might as well admit it, really.
You know, you might as well just come clean and tell me that you are a murderer.
Right? Because that's what you are.
Yeah? Why don't you say it? Just say it.
Tell me that you're a murderer, will you? Just say it.
Say it.
Look it's all gone - just say it.
Say it, come on, say it.
Say it.
Say it! Tell me! Say it! Tell me you're a murderer! Admit it, go on! Say it! Oh, come on.
Tell me you are! You're a murderer! Admit it.
Say it! Say it! Boyd!Boyd! Boyd!Boyd!Boyd! Boyd! What did you think it would achieve? What do you mean? It took me by surprise.
What did?When the thing went off.
You stepped over the line.
Yeah, well, accidentallyI stepped over the line.
You tortured him and he still didn't confess.
He's determined, but it doesn't make him innocent.
We're going.
Where?Come on.
It's not safe for you out there.
It isn't safe here, either.
This is how he wins, Eve.
Devlin will be looking for us.
Where are we going?Don't worry.
I know a place.
Hang on, mate.
Where are we? Joshua Green brought his family here for a weekend away together.
Shot his wife and two kids and then turned the gun on himself.
Why? Shares took a tumble.
"Why" is not really my thing.
Stefan Koscinski's full of shit.
Yeah, I know.
The General Medical Council have just got back to us about their policy on foreign doctors working in the UK.
They evaluate case by case.
If you've got a track record back home, getting on the register's not that hard.
So, the only reason you train from scratch is if you've never been a doctor in the first place ,or if you've been disqualified.
Or maybe under another name.
Eve found various IDs in Stefan's possession.
Yeah, but we ran all those by Interpol.
Yeah, but not the authorities in Kiev.
Do you fancy a coffee? Could be a problem.
I'll get some firewood.
Thank you.
For what? Believing in me.
Right.
Ivan Shapko.
He's a qualified surgeon struck off in 2002 for carrying out an illegal kidney transplant inKiev's only five-star hotel.
The recipient was a retired American lawyer, the donor a 15-year-old boy.
So the idea of Devlin as a master corrupter goes out of the window.
What happened to him? Suspended sentence.
The wire! The wire Eve was wearing when she met him at the airport, it's missing.
And I'm absolutely certain I put it back.
What's she trying to do? Catch him by herself? KAT: OK, so we went through the CCTV footage of the interview room, after Eve broke the glass.
Something drops out of Stefan's pocket.
An entry fob.
What's he doing with an entry fob? It must be Eve's.
She lost it.
What?She lost it months ago.
She's been using mine.
He's had it all along.
So what's she going to do now, though? if she knows, where's she taken him? Well, she'll take him somewhere she'll have some control.
Let's check her computer.
Right, the last file she accessed was .
.
an old case.
Joshua Green.
The man who shot his family.
At the boathouse.
Drink driving, suspected drink driving, innocent bystander, they test everyone for DNA these days.
You know that.
If you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to worry about.
One day they're going to find a match.
That's why you stole my fob, isn't it? I didn't steal it.
I found it.
I was going to give it back to you.
When? I lost it months ago.
Before I met you, before I even knew who you were.
I found it at the club.
How long were you going to hang on to it for? I didn't want you to think I was stalking you.
Stalking me? But you did stalk me.
You stalked me because you knew who I was.
Can I have a cigarette? What I was, what I do.
You're being ridiculous.
No more lies, Stefan.
I love you .
.
but I want to know the truth.
You're a coward.
Right, right.
Boyd was right, wasn't he? You wanted me to suspect you.
You needed your own lover to investigate you so that all the evidence against you would be tainted.
Devlin framed me, you know that.
I had to do something.
Just answer me.
Right.
Yes.
But how could I know I'd fall in love with you, Eve? I love you.
And Olena? Olena? You cut out her heart, didn't you? Briony might have helped but she didn't have the skill to perform that operation, not on her own.
What does it matter now? You saw the restraint marks on her wrists, you both saw them.
You knew that she'd been murdered.
But what could I do about it? You could've gone to the police, you could've tried to stop Devlin, but you didn't do anything.
You did nothing.
All right, Eve.
What else do you want to know? Briony, was she going to turn herself in? Did you kill her to keep her quiet? No.
But I might as well have.
I called Devlin.
Devlin sent Victor.
You wanted the truth.
Yes, I did.
Did Devlin tell you he was going to send Victor or did you just surmise it? Did I what?Did you assume it after she was murdered? What difference does it make? Answer me, Stefan.
Did Devlin tell you he was going to have her killed? Yes or no? Yes or no.
Yesor no.
Eve, you sound like your boss.
What's the matter, Eve? After conflict comes reconciliation.
Or was there another reason you wanted to have this conversation? No more lies, Eve! No more lies! Let's get this over with.
No.
Wait.
Eve! Eve!! Eve! Eve! Eve?! Eve?! Eve! Help him! Come on! He's going to drown! Help him! Eve! Eve! Eve.
Are you all right? Are you OK? Don't say anything.
I wasn't going to.
I'd put that away if I were you.
Unless you fancy killing a copper.
You can't take a boat out today.
But it's a nice spot for a picnic.
Spence! Let's go.
What about me?What about you? I can't charge you with anything.
You're free to go.
That's what you wanted, isn't it? You're not going to leave him here, are you? Get in the car! What about me? Eve! Eve!
