[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

WINSOME: You
got my Lee in there.

SUSAN: Whatever the
reason for your son's death,

I'm going to do everything I can

to find out who's responsible.

HARRY: No Mrs. Hawthorne
if you can't afford to pay,

then the social fund will
help with your expenses,

you just have to apply to them.

[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

I gather you want
to go wrestling?

- Yeah.
- Why?

Why not?

Well, Harry's not very keen.

Oh, I thought you
wanted to go wrestling.

Yeah, fine, whatever.

Are you hung over?

NIKKI: How did it go
with Susan last night?

She's dead.

What?

What happened?

Well, I went to meet
her where we'd arranged,

and I saw her across the street.

And then I just glanced
down for a second

and then when I looked back up,

she'd been knocked
over by a bus.

Jesus.

So what did you
do? I mean, when it?

Well, I ran over
to do what I could,

but, there was
nothing I could do

and people started milling
around, and a crowd gathered,

and the police came, and
everyone gave their version,

and the ambulance came,
and the crowd thinned out,

and everybody went home.

I tried to call you, and
then I went to the pub.

Was anybody else hurt?

No.

The... poor driver.

But it wasn't his fault.

It was no one's fault.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Toby?



Donna?



Garth?



[OFFICE APPLAUDING]

That's everyone,
and we have a winner.

Well done Garth.

But growth is down this quarter,

so I need you all to
push that bit harder.

This isn't a resting place
for unemployed actors.

Okay that wraps it up.

You all know we're
interviewing tomorrow,

those of you who've applied
should have their pitches in

by close of play today.

I think I can speak
for the whole team

when I say that we'll
all miss you, Helena.

[OFFICE APPLAUDING]

[CROWD CHEERING]

Fossil fuels are
called that for a reason,

they are ancient and
they are out of date.

This is the 21st century
sir and here at SolTricity

we like to think there's
going to be a 22nd.

Yes, I saw the documentary,

and you're right the
planet is heating up.

If you attach four of our solar
panels to your roof you can save 85%.

Enough of us do this and
we reduce global warming.

It doesn't matter
if it's cloudy.

And it makes sense to look
to the sun for cleaner energy.

Have you got children sir?

Which means they can provide
energy to your home at any time.

Well the poly crystalline comes with
a 20 year guarantee, available today.

Sorry, Mr. Johnston I'm
going to have call you back.

Garth!

[GASPING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

NIKKI: There are no
obvious lacerations,

wounds or puncture marks.

Who's this?

NIKKI: His name's Garth Templar.

Telesales executive,
collapsed at his desk.

Some flushing of the skin, was
possibly brighter than this pre death.

Also there's a sign
of urticarial rash.

No signs of disease
in the liver or bowel.

The lungs are nice and clear,

I wouldn't think
he was a smoker.

There's some swelling in the soft
tissue in and around the airway.

Harry, what do you think?

Anaphylactic reaction?

I'd like his stomach
contents analyzed

and could you call up his
full medical history please?

[CHATTERING]

Ray, honey, that TV guy
I told you about is here.

Come and meet him.

In a minute.

He's got spots on his chat show.

I think it'd be good for you.

I said in a minute.

What are you doing here?

Don't worry Prof,
it's not you I'm after.

Doctor Nikki Alexander?

That's me, can I help?

D.I. De Rohan.

You put a call in about a...

- Garth Templar.
- Yeah.

Good luck.

Here's my preliminary report.

According to his medical records
he was in peak physical condition.

No operations, no
apparent allergies,

he went to the gym
approximately three times a week.

And I eat five doughnuts
a day and I'm still here.

However, the cause
of death is anaphylaxis

brought on by an
allergic reaction.

So the guy keels
over, it happens.

The thing is, I don't
know why it happened.

It doesn't look as though
he came into contact

with any of the usual culprits.

No wasp or bee
stings, and I can't see

that he ate anything
that would have set it off.

You think it's suspicious?

I think it's worth checking.

C'mon mate, you
shouldn't be here.

Oi, wakey, wakey.

Come on.

D.I. Liam Stirling.

Professor Leo Dalton.

What have we got?

Must have been there overnight.

The last driver was
supposed to have checked

but he didn't bother.

First driver up today
found him instead,

thought the guy had slept there.

Head wound suggests otherwise.

There's no wallet, no I.D.

Perhaps we'll get lucky running
his fingerprints through the database.

He boarded at nine
o'clock last night.

And the bus finished
up here at 11.

How long's he been dead?

LEO: Hard to say exactly.

But his exposed areas feel cool.

Rigor's pretty well established.

Probably been here all night.

So possibly he d*ed
before the bus terminated?

LEO: Yeah, it's possible.

STIRLING: And what
about he wound to the head?

Was he assaulted?

It's too early to say really.

You think somebody would
have noticed wouldn't you?

Nothing reported.

I've got the CCTV from
the upstairs camera,

I'm going to sit through that,
see if it throws up anything.

We're all very shocked at
what happened to Garth.

This was Garth's workstation.

Give us a minute would
you please Liberty?

We hadn't realized the
police would be involved.

HELENA: You see we're a
very fast turnover business

and we have to have our
sales team at full capacity.

Thank you Miss Chapman.

He was all right
a minute before.

Just made a good sale, actually.

And then he started
choking, it was horrible.

DE ROHAN: What do you sell here?

What, oh solar panels.

DE ROHAN: What for?

Well, they're for your home,
environmentally friendly.

Not interested.

I'm a fatalist me.

TOBY: Well, they do save
you money on your energy bills.

Yeah?

That's coffee, he
spilt it when he...

Thanks.

Got the boys to pick
out the choice moments.

The camera's slightly
out of alignment.

STIRLING: Here he comes.

Drunk as a skunk.

Here's the interesting bit.

There, something's happened.

Some kind of altercation?

Maybe.

LEO: Do we know who she is?

STIRLING: No, we'll
freeze the image.

Get a clear sh*t of her face.

Landed awkwardly there,
might have hurt his head.

STIRLING: We're at
Palmers Green now.

She's the last passenger.

There are only liquid
contents in the stomach.

There is a smell of alcohol.

I'll check that later.

Heavy drinker?

Well, there's no
evidence for that.

The liver appears to be healthy.

It's not fatty or cirrhotic, and
the other organs look okay.

Well, there's no obvious
external damage to the brain.

There was no fracturing
to the skull either.

It must have been
a very glancing blow.

Could it have k*lled him?

Certainly possible,
but I doubt it.

Was he struck?

Might have been.

Might have just fallen
heavily into his seat.

Did he hit his head
on the window?

Could have.

So if the head wound
didn't k*ll him, what did?

He has a drink, gets
on a bus and just dies.

PMs are not always
conclusive on cause of death.

Did Garth ever mention having
an allergy or anything like that?

There was nothing
on his disclaimer.

Tell me about him.

He was my best salesman.

Anything else?

He'd been here four months.

He was very
committed, enthusiastic.

A real team player.

You make it sound unusual.

HELENA: Sales
is very competitive.

People move on fast.

Most people don't stay
with the same company

much more than three months.

How did he seem?

Had he complained
of feeling unwell?

I thought he was fine.

He'd won the salesman
of the month award again,

and he was going to
be interviewed today.

He was going for a promotion?

HELENA: Along with five others.

I'm going over to
the Frankfurt office,

so they're going for the
Sales Manager position.

Was Garth in with a chance?

His performance
has been excellent.

Confidentially, he
had it in the bag.

I want the names of the others

who were going for promotion.

Why?

Why d'you think?

Thank you.

STIRLING: We've
enhanced a few of the frames.

We'll use these for an appeal,

hope that someone comes forward.

LEO: Nothing from
missing persons?

STIRLING: No.

She must know
something, no luck with her?

Nothing yet, but we'll
run an appeal for her too.

Whoa, wait a minute.

- Zoom in on that will you?
- Where?

There's something
on her lapel, there!

It's an ID or swipe
card or something.

The Royal Islington Hospital.

DE ROHAN: I'll do some
background checks on this lot.

We need something
pretty concrete

if we're seriously
going to suggest

that someone m*rder*d
this guy for promotion.

NIKKI: Do you really
think it's a possibility?

DE ROHAN: Doesn't surprise me.

NIKKI: I suppose it's odd nobody
bothered to ask how he d*ed.

So you came up the stairs
just as he came towards you.

He was swaying down the
aisle, and shouting at people.

Sorry I couldn't really make
out what he was saying.

So he came close
up to you like this.

And I backed away
but he kept coming.

Which brings us to the bit
that we can't see on the tape.

So what happened then?

So he brushes up against me.

And I push him away.

I think he ended up
on someone's lap.

And did he injure his head
when you pushed him?

I'm not sure.

No, I don't think so.

I just went to my
seat and ignored him.

And the man?

He found an empty
seat and went to sleep.

What's this about?

The man is dead.

Nothing here says
she's not telling the truth.

I've just got the
tox on our victim.

Blood alcohol 40
milligrams per 100.

But that's hardly anything?

That's half the
legal limit for driving.

He can't have had more
than a glass of wine.

So how come he's
all over the place?

I just thought he was drunk.

Didn't we all?

What are you looking for?

That indentation,
it's fat atrophy.

LEO: There's less than
you'd expect subcutaneously.

No puncture wounds.

You're losing me Professor.

He wasn't drunk, and tox
shows his blood sugar has fallen

but then again it
would fall after death.

But I'm wondering whether
he went into a coma.

Yes, our man d*ed of a
hypoglycemic episode.

He was a diabetic.

STIRLING: So where
are the needle marks?

I managed to find one with
the help of a magnifying glass,

but the needle's so fine
they're almost impossible to see.

Well that explains his erratic
and aggressive behavior,

classic symptoms
of a low blood sugar.

He must've known
that could happen.

STIRLING: Why not ask for help?

Well, if he hadn't had
a drink, maybe, but,

even long term diabetics can
miss the early signs of a hypo.

A glass of wine on
an empty stomach,

he probably didn't even realize
what was happening to him.

So he just d*ed?

Well he went into a coma and
then stopped breathing, yes.

Well, if he'd have been given some
glucose he'd have been all right.

A bar of chocolate,
a can of cola,

that's all it would have taken.

I'm surprised he
didn't have any on him.

[PHONE RINGING]

Stirling.

Okay, thanks.

We've got a name.

Martin Davis.

[BOYS CHATTERING]

All right, come on lads pick
it up. Put some grunt into it.

Billy.

What's wrong with Ray?

BILLY: Nothing, no injuries.

No, he's distracted,
he has been all week.

Right, bring him off.

Get Conway.

Put him up front and go
through them set pieces again.

Go on!

BILLY: Ray mate!

All right lads let’s
keep up the pace.

- Come on keep moving let's go.
- Conway, in my position?

Ray you've been distracted,
your mind's not on the game.

It's not been for the week.

Maybe a couple of weeks
on the bench is what you need.

Sort yourself out.

You can't drop me.

Conway is on until I say.

Right?

Also, Conway's got no left
foot. You can't play him up front.

Yeah I know that Billy.

But Ray needed
to hear that, okay?

Keep it moving
lads, let's keep it up.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

When Martin didn't come into
work I thought perhaps he was ill.

I left a message at his home,

and when he didn't call
back I phoned the police.

And you're his dental nurse?

Yes and his secretary.

Just the two of you?

No other dentists practice here?

That's right.

Are you aware
of any next of kin?

I know he wasn't
married, no kids.

But he never really talked
about anyone very much.

I did ask.

When did you last see Mr. Davis?

The night before last.

It was my birthday and I was
meeting some friends in town.

And?

Well, it was also three years

since I'd started
at the surgery.

In all that time I'd never
seen him outside of work,

so I asked him to come along.

And he did?

Well, he didn't want to,
but he couldn't really say no.

I suppose I thought I
might get to know him better.

So he had a drink?

Yes, just one glass of wine,

and then he said he
had to go and get his bus.

And, did you notice
anything unusual about him?

No.

Oh yes, he left his bag behind.

Seemed strange at the time,

I just thought I'd take it
back for him in the morning.

- I've kept it here.
- Thanks.

So you didn't know that
Mr. Davis was a diabetic?

I didn't really know him at all.

Lads, lads where's Ray?

All right lads, take
five minutes, five.

Ray.

Ray?

I.G.E. reports and
tox on your salesman.

Thanks.

It's definitely related
to anaphylaxis.

Got traces of
polyvidone and EDTA.

Eye drops.

Yeah.

But these were in his stomach.

D.I. De Rohan please.

I won't bombard you with science
but IGE tests confirm it was anaphylaxis

and tox on the stomach contents

show the source to
be ingested eye drops.

Eye drops?

Do you know how?

Yup, swabs show up the same
substance in the coffee he spilled.

Someone m*rder*d
him with eye drops?

Well, it might just be that
he was meant to get the runs

and miss the interview.

Like a practical
joke that went wrong.

There's an urban myth that if you
swallow eye drops you'll get diarrhea.

Air Stewards supposedly slip it
to passengers who wind them up.

Does that work?

In most cases it has
absolutely no effect.

In an unfortunate few it
has caused heart problems.

And Garth?

Well, it's likely he was allergic to
the preservatives in the eye drops,

but I doubt that anyone
would have known that.

Manslaughter either way.

Hi, Harry Cunningham,
I'm the pathologist.

D.I. Beth Ashdown.

- Hi.
- Body's this way.

No, no Director of Football.

I'm Harry Cunningham,
Pathologist.

Hi nice to meet you.

Listen, anything my staff
can do to help, just ask.

Thanks, in here?

Yes.

HARRY: Rigor hasn't set in.

Body's still warm, he d*ed
within the last three hours.

That would concur with
the witness statements.

ASHDOWN: He was last
seen leaving a training session.

HARRY: Wounds to the neck
are consistent with hanging.

The knots are consistent with
him having tied them himself.

Was he found like this?

By the head Coach, Billy Lloyd.

So the pipe must have
broken after he'd d*ed.

We'll have to do
the PM of course

but it does look like su1c1de.

D.I. De Rohan, we
weren't expecting you.

This is a warrant to
search these premises.

What for?

Stop what you're doing
stay at your desks, please.

DE ROHAN: What was your
relationship with the deceased?

We all looked up to him.

He sat on the next
desk over from me.

He took it all a
bit too seriously.

I wouldn't say we
were friends or anything.

But you wouldn't wish that
on someone, would you?

Do you use eye drops?

A lot of us do.

We stare at screens
for 10 hours a day.

No.

I don't, no, I use a special
stuff for my contacts.

Why, is everything okay?

You were supposed to
have an interview today

for the role of Sales Manager.

We knew Garth would get it.

Yeah, sure everybody did.

I don't even know if I'd
want it now, after this.

Although I could
have done the job.

I'd have been
bloody good, in fact.

What would you
say the office is like?

Are you a team?

Is it competitive?

Competitive.

It's mostly good natured.

I haven't really
thought about it much.

Yeah, I suppose it
can be a bit rough.

Well, you know you
get practical jokes,

superglue on the
stapler, that sort of thing.

It's mostly harmless,

but you'd be surprised
what people would do

to get ahead of the next guy.

Nothing.

You don't think you'll catch
the person who did this, do you?

We'll leave SOCO
there for another day.

Continue with the interviews

while we dig up some more
background on the suspects.

Honestly?

I doubt we'll prove anything.

I'll get my final report
to you tomorrow.

Thank you Dr. Alexander.

There is a ligature mark
consistent with suspension.

There are petechial
hemorrhages around the eyes.

There is some congestion
above the ligature mark

and relative pallor below.

Absolutely no indication
whatsoever of any foul play.

HARRY: There are
no restraining marks,

no defense injuries, nothing.

The cause of
death is the ligature

and the lack of any
contusions to the body

suggests that the pipe did
break after he was dead.

So in my opinion
he did k*ll himself.

No career threatening
injury then?

Were you hoping for
one? [CHUCKLES]

Would've made some sense.

He's a millionaire, famous,
talented, handsome.

He had the model wife,
the big house, the fast cars.

Every boy's dream.

HARRY: Thank you
for seeing us Mrs. Treat.

I've just completed
Ray's post mortem.

He hung himself?

HARRY: I'm afraid so, yes.

ASHDOWN: We're very sorry.

If you're up to it can we ask
you a few questions about Ray?

Look.

Do you really need
to do this now?

- Can't you see...
- It's all right, Alan.

You haven't found a note?

No.

And there was nothing
at the club either.

How did he seem this morning?

Same as ever.

Maybe a little bit.

A little bit?

Not himself.

He wasn't on his
game either, was he?

Right, because we
were wondering why

a very talented young
man would take his own life?

Look, Doctor Cunningham,

you understand the
intense media pressure.

Here, on the club, on Lolly.

We just want to deal with
this as efficiently as possible.

Okay.

The inquest will be
formally opened next week.

HARRY: I expect the
coroner will adjourn

pending further police
investigations and the lab results.

Lab results?

Yes, we do things like tox
screens and blood tests.

Ray didn't take no dr*gs
if that's what you mean.

And what good will that do?

There's going to be enough
speculation in the press

without you talking
about tox screens.

I'm sorry, it's just a procedure
we're required to follow.

Listen son, I don't
think you know

who you're talking about
here, this is Ray Treat.

Hmm.

And it's my job to
find out why he d*ed.

Yeah, well, you'd
better not screw it up.

NIKKI: So what happens
if you do screw up?

HARRY: I don't know.

Perhaps I'll get banned
from all home games?

- Ah, finally.
- What is it?

Paint results from
the car that k*lled Lee.

Whoa, it is an
expensive custom job.

Must be less than 100 M6's
with that paint in the country.

At least something's
going your way.

It's a nice car.

Where have I... recently
seen a black BMW M6?

Oh my God, I've got
to see Beth Ashdown.

Thanks.

You were right.

There are a 112 BMW M6's with
this paint job registered in the UK.

One of them
belonged to Ray Treat.

Okay, so he would be a
su1c1de and a hit and run.

He took his own life
because he k*lled that boy?

Better check the car

before we start making too
many assumptions, hadn't we?

We're going to
have to be discreet.

The word gets out, the
media's going to go crazy.

I'm not sure whether
to thank you or not.

ASHDOWN: Ray
owned an M Series BMW.

He sold it the other day.

Sold it?

- Yeah.
- But he'd only had it what, two months?

He said he was bored of it.

Sold it to who?

Dunno, what's this about?

Did you know that Ray
Treat disposed of his car?

I knew that he'd sold it.

Why would he do that,
he hadn't owned it long?

No idea.

Maybe when it
arrived he didn't like it.

ALAN: These kids
have a lot of money.

ASHDOWN: Strange thing is,

his car seems to
have disappeared.

I don't know.

So you didn't arrange to have
Ray's car taken out of the country?

No.

ALAN: What is this?

ASHDOWN: You were his mentor.

You signed him
on schoolboy terms.

ALAN: Are you asking
me or telling me?

ASHDOWN: He's
the club's prized asset.

Word is you were
preparing to sell him.

Club's in debt.

ALAN: Every club's in debt.

ASHDOWN: Were
you going to sell Ray?

ALAN: I can't disclose
confidential board matters.

ASHDOWN: But he'd gone off the
boil recently. Had a couple of bad games.

Means nothing.

ASHDOWN: It'd
mean a whole lot more

if he was found to have
caused a hit-and-run.

A what?

Just over a week ago
a young man was k*lled

in a car accident on the
Catchley Street Estate.

The driver didn't stop
or report the incident.

And how does that affect Ray?

ASHDOWN: We've been able
to match flecks found on the body

to a rare paint job.

Now there are very few cars
in this country with that paint,

and one of them was
Ray's missing BMW.

Look.

I don't know about
any hit-and-run, okay?

His mother can't
afford a funeral.

ALAN: I thought it was my fault.

Just before he did it
I bollocked him out.

Threatened to drop
him from the team.

It was meant to be
for his own good.

To keep his feet on the ground.

I do my best for
them, I really do.

ALAN: Ray was from an
estate just like that one.

Only two years ago
he lived in a council flat.

Some of them have
trouble adapting.

They can't cope with the
pressures of the lifestyle.

Thing is,

they can't go home either.

Stupid kid, why
didn't he come to me?

We should go and tell Lee's mum.

HARRY: At least
she'll know the truth.

We can't do that.

Well why not?

Making unconfirmed accusations
about a dead celebrity?

It's not a good idea,
she could go to the press.

So what am I going to tell her?

I'd let it go Harry.

[KNOCKING]

Doctor Cunningham,
have you got some news?

Only that the police are
satisfied that Lee's death

was not in any way
connected with dr*gs.

It was an accident.

I'm afraid we're never
going to be able to prove

who it was who
was driving the car.

I tried, but... I can't.

Thank you, Dr. Cunningham.

Thanks for trying.

Hello, I'd like to say a
few words about Ray.

Everyone knows what
Ray was like on the pitch.

He was a talented man.

He was famous, yes, but to me,

he was never anything other
than my childhood sweetheart.

Yes, he made a lot of money,

he had the house,
the celebrity lifestyle.

I know it's not easy to believe,

but those things can be a
curse as well as a blessing.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

There has been
a lot of speculation

as to why this tragedy happened.

That speculation will continue.

And I'm not able to give
you the answers you want.

All I can say is that Ray was a
genuinely warm and loving person

who lost his way.

Which is why I am standing here

to ask you to remember him
for what you loved about him.

His ability

and the way he made you feel
when he skipped past two defenders.

That surge of excitement
when he scored a goal.

His passion for the game.

That's the Ray Treat I
want everyone to remember.

That's the Ray Treat we
should pay our respects to.

Thank you.

[REPORTERS SHOUTING]

LEO: All done?

Done, the mortuary
is now officially empty.

Great, we can all retire.

So did you two decide
what we were going to do?

Not really, did we?

No?

Please don't let
us just go home.

I've got a deck of cards.

I've got a bottle
of wine in my desk.

Funnily enough, I've got
a bottle of wine in my desk.

Why haven't I got a
bottle of wine in my desk?

You just quietly swig ethanol out
of your specimen jars, don't you?

Strictly for emergency
use, you understand?

LEO: So what's it to be?

Poker?

HARRY: Do you know
why poker is called poker?

NIKKI: Have you
ever played a game

called punch him in the face?

LEO: A lot of people
want to play that with Harry.

Are we playing for money?

HARRY: Yes.
