Messiah (2001) s03e01 Episode Script

We'll interview the prisoners separately.
Don't worry.
I won't be far away.
- We'll call you when we finish.
- Okay.
Gerry.
I'm your solicitor, Thomas Stone.
This is Dl Duncan Warren.
DS Kate Beauchamp.
It's okay, Gerry.
They just want to hear the truth.
- Tell them what happened to you.
- What he alleges happened to him.
- We haven't got all day.
- I know! Oh, I want to.
Only you don't have to go back out there and face them.
Let them go! Let them go! Tierney.
Drop the knife.
Now close the gate.
Close the gate.
Kate.
Kate! - Kate! - Come on, lads.
- Let's have her.
- Move.
Move.
- You're crazy.
- You're the crazy one, Meti.
- Did you think I wouldn't find out? - You maniac! Gerry.
- Gerry! - Let go of her! Tierney has them.
If I'd known he was involved I grabbed the guy who had me hostage.
Next thing, Tierney appears.
He was going to cut her face.
The gate-- The gate slams and Kate's on the other side.
It's not your fault, Duncan.
She doesn't know him.
She doesn't know what he's capable of.
Will Houseman, governor.
Mr.
Houseman.
Tierney asked for you.
Is that a good or a bad sign? He asked for a doctor, which means there are already casualties.
Sir, this is Dr.
Philip Ryder, registrar, St.
Paul's paramedics team.
This is DCl Metcalfe.
No, no.
Until we know exactly what he wants, we'll play it his way.
Ask for Prisoner Tierney.
Tell him Red Metcalfe's here.
He can't breathe.
I need you to keep his chin up, his head back.
I've got a chest drainage to re-inflate his lung.
My bag.
Scalpel.
I need you to hold him really still.
Which one of you is Tierney? Red Metcalfe is here to see you.
Pace Tierney, DCl Metcalfe.
There's no need for introductions.
That'll be all Mr.
Houseman, thank you.
Long time no see, Red.
Brought you some cigarettes.
I seem to remember that's the brand you like.
Well, that's a nice start but I gave up before the uprising.
- Do you want some food? Water? - No.
Thanks.
Looks like we've got ourselves a situation.
Bound up for so many hours, bad conditions, tempers flare.
You know how it is.
What can I do for you? Nothing.
Well, there's one thing.
No one's to be punished for this, no criminal charges, no loss of parole.
Well, I'll pass it on.
I mean, you know-- Obviously, it's gonna take some time.
Well, I'm not as patient as I used to be.
I'll make sure the Home Office understands the urgency.
Maybe the Home Office requires a bit of pressure.
One hostage executed every ten minutes.
You've nine and a half minutes starting now.
Just give me a chance to talk to the authorities.
Come on, you can trust me.
We can solve this together.
It's good to see you again, Red.
No one's to be punished.
No criminal charges.
No loss of parole.
Or he starts killing hostages.
- What? - I'll have to speak to my superiors.
- I'm not authorised-- - You've got eight minutes.
Leo.
- Get up.
Get up.
Get up.
Move it.
- I've found you.
I'm warning you, Tierney.
- When this is over-- - What are you gonna do, Mr.
Reeves? - Move! Come on, move.
- Okay.
Okay.
Move.
Come on.
Move.
Come on, move.
Come on.
Tierney! We go in.
This is Pace Tierney we're talking about.
It'll be a bloodbath.
If the Home Office gets off its ass and cuts the deal-- Tierney didn't want a deal, he just wanted an excuse.
No matter what we promise him, he'll play with Kate and then he'll kill her.
Maybe you're not the right person to make this decision.
I'm the senior attending officer.
Are you sure about this? Seven minutes.
Officer Reeves.
Stop this, Tierney.
Stop it now! Tierney, stop it now! - I didn't start it, you did! - No, Tierney, for the love of God! Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
I'll talk to the governor.
Please.
Please.
I'm begging you.
Please.
Only weak men beg, Peter Reeves.
Don't.
No, not me.
Please.
Kill her! Kill her! You heard the boy, Leo.
Red's gonna miss you.
No one will miss me.
I have no one.
Please.
Please.
Please.
Please, please.
I beg of you.
Help me! Help me! - Let her go! Let her go! - Hold it! Police! Stay still! On the floor! On the floor, now! Feel my fingers down here? Now try wiggling your toes for me, please.
Wiggle your toes.
Okay, okay.
All right, gunshot wound, left leg.
What the hell are they doing here? We're the designated hospital.
Rapists, murderers, to the front of the queue.
Is that our mission statement? I have a transplant procedure to prepare for.
BP's quite low.
Could you take over? - You okay? - I have to find Thomas Stone.
- You should go home.
- I'll arrange a car.
Not till I know he's all right.
Leave her.
She blames me.
She's not thinking straight.
Give her time.
Mustn't blame yourself, Red.
I don't.
- We hand this over.
- A man died in that prison.
- This is a murder enquiry.
- You have Tierney.
- Let someone else do the paperwork.
- No! How's Susan going to feel? DCl Metcalfe? Clare Fenton, hospital manager.
I'm told you're in charge.
The Home Office requested that the police take custody of the prisoners.
I want separate wards.
Officers.
Prisoners.
- I don't want them here at all.
- We checked.
Most of the prison hospital wings are full.
The others aren't equipped to handle acute cases.
I can't just turf existing patients out without having somewhere to put them.
And there is a chronic shortage of beds.
If you need any help making these calls, my team are willing to work with you.
- We need a room.
- Right.
Well, if you could avoid interrupting the day-to-day running of the hospital as much as you can, your officers can use the back entrance past the building work.
What are you having built? Nothing.
The building's sick.
Thank you.
Thank you for what you did in the prison.
Will he be all right? He's going for surgery.
We'll know better then.
How are you? Well, they sent me home, which is crazy, I should be here.
Well, is there somebody you can call? I know you told Tierney no one would miss you, but you must have friends? Family? He's gonna be in theatre for a while.
Why don't you do as they say? Go home.
Get some rest.
And come back later.
What are you doing there? Come in.
Look who's here.
- How are you? - Okay.
- How's business? - Busy.
Always good for a good builder.
Do you want a cup of tea? - Hot chocolate? - No, thanks.
- What happened to your face? - There was a riot in a prison.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - Yes, Mum.
A cup of tea.
That's what you need.
There was something about that on the news headline.
Might be some more.
Before I came to you, did I live in the country? No.
You can stay the night if you want to.
Your dad's using your room, but I can make up the bed in the small bedroom.
I have to get back to work.
Apparently, the riot was triggered after police went into the prison to investigate complaints frrom inmates ofr alleged brutality by frellow prisoners and prison offiicers, DCI Metcalfre, report suggests that the ringleader was prisoner Pace Tierney, The circumstances ofr the riot have yet to be investigated, It wouldn't be appropriate fror me to comment on the identity ofr the participants at this time, You're a dead man, Tierney.
Murder of Prison Officer Peter Reeves, attempted murder of a police officer, incitement to riot.
You'll never walk free again.
This will make your mouth dry, Mr.
Tierney.
You'll be feeling sleepy soon.
I'm having sweet dreams already.
The fragment doesn't appear too deeply embedded.
It should only take about half an hour.
Fine.
I'm fine.
Thanks.
Don't be a stranger.
How did it go? Well, the next 1 2 hours are critical.
How could that monster do this to us? There's nothing more we can do here, so-- I went to see my family.
Every time I wonder if it's gonna be different, then, bang, I hit some invisible wall.
What, you don't get on? My mum hides behind offers of cups of tea and, "Are you sure you won't have another piece of cake?" My dad.
My dad looks at me like-- I'm adopted.
I was 5 when they got me.
Sometimes I thought they were gonna take me back to social services, ask for a swap.
So, what happened to your real parents? Oh, they were killed in a car crash, along with my brother.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
I don't remember them.
I-- I have to go.
He isn't going anywhere.
How about coffee? Yeah, that sounds like a plan.
- Mine's a white, two sugars.
- Yeah.
- I gotta take a leak.
- Okay.
Where's Mr.
Tierney? How are you? Fine.
Fine as in confused, insecure, emotional? Yeah, I'm angry, you know.
I'm angry that Pace Tierney has broken back into my life.
I'm angry that he nearly killed my sergeant, Kate.
I can hear those lies.
And I'm the person that l-- I doubt is myself, you know.
After all this time, discovering that I'm still resentful for what he did to me.
You and Susan? To all of us.
You're the only person I can say this to.
Well, I'm glad you're angry.
I'm extremely glad you're angry at Tierney and not yourself.
I'd like you to see Kate.
Tierney doused her with white spirit.
He was about to set her alight.
Of course.
My Dl managed to get out.
But I think Kate's resentful.
If it affects the team, I've no choice.
She's out.
- I'll do my best.
- Thank you.
She needn't know about our connection.
Anyone else know that I was your counsellor? No.
Just my superiors.
And Susan.
That you were my counsellor.
Nothing else.
- Has Mr.
Tierney turned up? - No.
Great.
He's probably been taken back to the ward by mistake.
We're checking.
- How long have we got? - He could wake up any time.
- We'd better inform the police.
- Right.
Mr.
Symons.
Mr.
Symons.
Mr.
Asiz, general surgeon.
We have a space on one of our lists.
They'll be preparing you for theatre.
- There's no sign of him anywhere.
- What? How long has Tierney been missing? They're not sure.
Look in the prisoners' ward, see if anybody else has been mislaid.
No mobile phones in this area.
They interfere with equipment.
- Is he here? - Yes.
- Whose is that bed? - Pace Tierney.
- That one? - Leo Symons.
- And where is he? - Premed.
Where's Leo Symons? This isn't Symons.
The notes say it is.
- Wrong bloody notes.
- If he isn't here, where is he? Kidney dish.
Send it for biopsy.
One moment.
Doesn't look as abnormal as the lVP suggests.
He's gone into VF.
All right, get Mr.
Asiz.
Go back to sleep.
You're safe now.
Someone must have swapped his notes.
And it appears Mr.
Symons previously had his right kidney removed.
Before you removed the remaining kidney, you must have noticed it was healthy.
I'm not some housewife picking up a packet at the supermarket and peering at the content.
God knows what the fuss is.
The man was a criminal.
Any procedure on him was a waste of hospital resources.
Mr.
Henderson is in shock.
Our doctors have a duty of care whoever the patient is.
Excuse me.
A perfectly good kidney has gone to waste as a result of this debacle.
You check you got the right bloke before ripping out his organs? The notes, the wristband said he was Colin Scott.
Surely you met him before you performed surgery? Yes, of course.
Once a patient is in a surgical gown and anesthetised-- We all look the same to you.
Maybe you can function at top efficiency on two hours' sleep.
Are you saying Mr.
Henderson wasn't fit to operate? We proceeded on the basis of the notes and the wristband.
As far as I'm concerned, that constitutes safe practise.
- Get out.
- You've got to come.
Now.
He had a metal fragment in his eye.
The machine's magnetic force dragged the fragment back, embedding it in his brain.
Tierney had a pacemaker.
The MRl would interfere with the pulses regulating his heart.
I can't be certain yet, but I imagine that's what killed him.
Find the owner of that badge.
- I told you to go home.
- I thought you might need me.
Tierney was under my protection.
I want that police guard off the force.
Why now? Right under our noses.
I can run Kate back to her flat.
Go buy them a coffee.
See if they saw anything.
- I mean it.
You shouldn't be here.
- I'm all right.
- You've been in a major incident.
- How will staring at walls help? I wanna keep working.
On one condition.
- You see a counsellor.
- I don't need to see a counsellor.
I've been where you are, Kate.
You can't do this alone.
I don't understand.
You're not the only officer who Tierney held hostage.
He held me hostage 1 1 years ago.
Does Duncan know? Yes.
Well, he could have said.
You've hardly talked to him since the riot.
We're a team, remember that.
You wanna stay on the case, you see the counsellor.
Tell someone.
And lose everything I've worked for? Two murders in less than six hours.
Both victims died in police custody.
Kate.
Describe the run-up to the stabbings.
Dl Warren and I visited the prison to take statements from inmates Gerry Whyte and Sal Meti.
They alleged acts of brutality, extortion and harassment are taking place within the jail.
Those responsible include both prisoners and officers.
During our visit, a riot took place.
Dl Warren managed to escape.
I was held hostage along with the dead officer, Reeves, and Gerry Whyte.
Leo Symons doused Prison Officer Peter Reeves with white spirit.
Pace Tierney set fire to him.
SO1 9 entered and secured the scene.
Injured prisoners and officers were moved from the prison to this hospital.
Now Pace Tierney and his sidekick, Leo Symons, have been murdered, despite being under guard.
First question is, how could that happen? Second question.
Tierney's murder was brutal in the extreme.
Who could kill so sadistically, and why? Who knew Tierney had a pacemaker? Everyone.
His nickname was Pace.
Tough guy.
Knackered heart.
Same goes for Leo Symons and his missing kidney.
He was badly beaten up in the prison three months ago.
As a result, he had to have it removed.
Symons claimed he never saw his attacker.
The MRl, who would know the effect it would have on the pacemaker? Well, anyone who can read.
There's a huge sign on the door.
"No metal objects.
No pacemakers.
" What do we know about the badge? Well, it belongs to a Dave Fenshaw, he's a porter.
He was at home at the alleged time of Tierney's abduction.
But it's possible the killer borrowed his jacket.
Tierney was serving time, two counts for murder, one for armed robbery and abduction.
Was the killer someone Tierney and/or Symons crossed in the jail and is now on the outside? Could be an inmate who's got contacts on the outside who's still banged up in prison where they took advantage of the move here and the subsequent chaos.
Obvious candidate, fellow prisoner, Sal Meti.
Apparently, he threatened Pace Tierney as he was being taken for surgery.
Well, every inmate was allowed a phone call when they were first admitted.
Find out who Sal Meti spoke to.
Whoever killed these men, the connection would appear to be the prison.
Check the records of every prison officer.
Including Governor Houseman.
Do not think that because Tierney and Symons were hardened criminals that their deaths do not warrant fair and thorough investigation.
We'll conduct this case as we would any other.
We are not seeking an heroic avenger.
We're hunting a vicious murderer.
What happened to the stray bullet? There were three shots.
I only heard two.
You were at the hospital last night.
What time did you leave? Late, I don't know.
Who did you speak to? My officers, the inmates.
When Sal Meti came to you with these accusations, what did you do? Informed you immediately.
Meti claimed that Whyte had in the past been badly attacked by an inmate.
I thought it best to have Whyte tell you himself.
Did Meti name the inmate? No.
Is there some reason why he couldn't trust you? No, of course not.
Who else did you tell about the purpose of our visit? No one.
I promise my default protection.
Everything was in confidence.
The first time my colleague and l arrive at the prison there's a riot.
So you see that as a coincidence? Yes, what else could it be? Well, either you've lost control of your prison, Mr.
Houseman, or you're running a corrupt administration.
- Officers-- - That isn't true.
Leo Symons was so badly beaten three months ago he had to have his kidney removed.
Are you suggesting he kicked himself? My officers did not assault Symons.
Then who did? I don't know.
Pace Tierney threw white spirits over me and nearly set fire to me in your prison, Mr.
Houseman.
I wanna know how that happened.
I wanna know what you're covering up.
Nothing.
Why would l? Any time you might say anything incriminating, stop the interview, Tell them you're too ill to continue, Okay.
I love you.
Me too, Unchain him.
Prisoner Whyte.
Can you leave us, please? You were heard to issue a death threat to Tierney last night.
He was going to burn Gerry alive.
Was he one of the prisoners that you and Gerry intended to accuse in your statements? He was not just one of them, was leader.
So why would he threaten to execute Gerry and not you? Tierney was a psychopathic animal.
Did you order his death? I'm due to go to Cat C.
After that, I'm up for parole.
Why would I risk my freedom? Tierney said to you, "Did you think I wouldn't find out?" Find out about what? Me talking to you.
According to the governor, only me, you and Gerry Whyte knew the real reason behind our visit.
You must have done something to upset him so badly.
It's a Pace Tierney speciality.
- Planning grand acts of revenge.
- I did nothing.
Suddenly every villain we interview is a saint.
Tierney threatens your pal, so you have him and Symons murdered.
Oh, I was shot.
By a policeman, when unarmed, as I tried to help my fellow inmates.
The shattered bone in my leg is proof that for you all villains are same.
Right, you're not the Sal Meti who had his business rival executed in front of his kids.
I did not order his death.
And certainly not in front of his children.
You were very angry in the prison.
You went for Tierney.
He had knives to our throats, remember? Go get yourself something decent to eat.
We'll be in Room 23-A.
You feel well enough for a little chat, Gerry? - Sal.
- You don't have to say anything without solicitor present.
- What about my lunch? - I'll get it.
It's got his name on it, he's allergic to peanuts.
- If you touch him-- - He's not my type, Mr.
Meti.
Thanks, we'll be fine.
Are you gonna hurt me? Why would I hurt you? Because I told Tierney to kill you.
I thought I was gonna die.
This friendship you've got with Meti, it seems to me it's all one-way.
- What do you mean? - You get stabbed trying to protect him.
You're the one about to be barbecued.
What does Meti do, just watches? It wasn't like that, you know that.
According to the governor, you were badly beaten up by an inmate.
- Where was Meti hiding then? - He didn't hide.
Yeah, right.
What did he do? He nearly kicked the bastard to death, that's what he did.
It was Leo Symons who beat you up.
So Sal Meti punished him.
Why did Symons beat you? Tierney wanted me to do stuff.
Symons deserved it.
Anyway, he's dead now, it don't matter.
Look.
I wanna go back to the ward now, okay? - I wanna be with Sal.
- Eat your food before it gets cold.
Someone will come for you.
Gerry Whyte grassed you up.
You assaulted Leo Symons.
It could cost you parole.
Gerry sees me as some kind of hero.
This is all hearsay.
Maybe Symons did recognise his attacker and told Pace Tierney.
"Did you think I wouldn't find out?" Isn't that what Tierney said? You're a hypocrite, Mr, Meti, You complain about brutality in the prison and you kicked a man to death.
You are claiming that Governor Houseman told Tierney that you were going to the police? Unless of course, you did.
So after the riot, you went back to tried-and-tested methods ofr extracting justice, The M Rl machine, the pacemaker.
That's a touch worthy of Tierney.
I did not have him killed.
Don't be so modest.
Many, many people have wanted to.
You succeeded.
Crash Team to Garret Ward, Crash Team to Garret Ward, What's happening? Charging, stand clear.
No change.
Are we all agreed? Yeah.
Okay, I'm calling it.
Did anyone check him? The nursing staff weren't informed he was here.
What about his prison officer? I told him where we'd be, he never said he was going off duty.
Anyone else see Gerry today? According to his notes, Mr.
Henderson.
He's knife wound was near the kidney area.
Mr.
Henderson ruled out renal damage.
It's routine procedure.
Well, Home Office pathologist will do the postmortem.
There's no sign of suspicious death.
The doctors are suggesting heart failure.
He died in police custody.
There'll be an inquest.
Gerry's officer should have informed his replacement.
Let's hope that's how the Home Office sees it.
He was badly injured, he was hardly likely to leg it.
Well, not now he isn't.
- He died of natural causes.
- Let's just wait for the postmortem.
Hi.
Hello.
How are you? Alive.
I'm glad.
Imagine how guilty I'd have felt if you died trying to help me.
Come here.
You saved my life.
Thank you.
Yeah, well, Philip helped a little bit.
Gerry Whyte's dead.
I heard.
Poor Gerry.
I want Governor Houseman charged.
If he'd been doing a job properly, none of this would have happened.
We could have died, for God's sake.
Who's this from? My dad.
He's even put kisses on.
You're lucky.
Have you got family? Mum, dad, sister.
- Did you manage to get any sleep? - No, I'm not tired.
I'm having nightmares.
Close my eyes and see it over and over, it's like the edited highlights.
I woke up this afternoon, I thought I was choking.
I hear the gunshots.
Weird sounds, wind in the trees.
Doors.
No wonder my boss is sending me to a shrink.
We think we've got problems.
It's a well-known medical fact, all psychiatrists are barking.
Centre stage.
Of course I was angry at the time.
And scared.
I mean, this man was gonna torch me.
But he's dead now.
And that makes me feel safe.
Who do you blame? Blame? You're on a routine case in a prison.
Suddenly you're caught up in a violent situation.
Alone among rioting prisoners.
Facing a vicious psychopath.
It must be someone's fault.
I wasn't alone.
Thomas and Philip were there.
Tell me about your family.
Are they supportive? They're great.
I'm adopted.
But we're very close.
I've arranged a meeting with Gina Meti, Meti's wife.
Meti rang her as soon as he was admitted.
The prison officers report one incoming call from her yesterday morning.
- Before Gerry died? - Yeah.
Take Kate.
Background on Mrs.
Meti.
I haven't had time to look at it.
Gina Meti used to be a barrister before she married Meti.
She handled his appeal.
She lost her position in Chambers as a result of their relationship.
No one likes a brief who crosses over.
Screws would've given her a hard time.
She had a public argument with the governor apparently.
He put her and Meti on closed visits for a while.
Well, Governor Houseman never took a tough line on anything.
I'm just reading what it says.
- Are you okay? - Fine.
We're a team.
We share things.
DS Beauchamp, Dl Warren.
You must be here about Tierney and Symons.
Two prisoners die in police custody.
Someone is gonna have their wrist slapped.
Which leads me to believe that the next question must be.
.
Do I know anything about it? What makes you say that? Why else would you waste your petrol coming here? I'm afraid we came to give you some bad news.
Sal? Gerry Whyte.
- What about Gerry? - He's dead.
- He's been murdered? - Has he? - I assumed.
- You don't seem very upset.
And you take that as a proven indicator of what? Guilt? Why are you so keen to ask the questions? I'm the one blessed with a razor-sharp mind.
Are you planning to leave? I'm always leaving whenever they move Sal to yet another prison.
Ironically, he's right back at the prison where we first met.
Put those down or get a search warrant.
You had an argument with the governor.
- What about? - I've had several arguments.
I believe he's obstructing Sal's transfer to a Cat C prison.
Therefore, his eligibility for parole.
Why would Governor Houseman do that? Ask him.
Have any of Sal's criminal associates been in touch with you? I'm beginning to see this as police harassment.
- I must really threaten you.
- Why would I be threatened? A barrister married to a prisoner fighting a corrupt system.
Did this champion of justice you married tell you about kicking Leo Symons so badly he had to have his kidney removed? My husband tried to save lives in that riot.
If the truth would come out about the assault, your beloved husband wouldn't have been home for a long time.
You've sacrificed a lot for Sal Meti.
Are those two statements linked? Symons, the victim, Tierney, his close mate, and now, Gerry, the witness, are all conveniently dead.
No wonder you're glad Gerry's been murdered.
Something's burning.
Let me do it.
Call the Crash Team, he's alive.
Maintain his airways.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Where's the Crash Team? Ten, 1 1, 1 2, 1 3.
I felt a pulse.
One, two, three, - four, five, six, - Get a bag on him.
- seven-- - Get some fluids into him.
- Eleven, 1 2, 1 3, 1 4, 1 5.
- Nothing.
Shock him.
Two, three, four, five, six, - seven, eight, nine, ten.
- Charging 200, stand clear.
No change.
Charging 200 again, stand clear.
No change.
Charging 200 again, stand clear.
Keep going, maintain his airways.
- Move, move, move.
- One, two, three, four.
- It's too late.
- Come on.
Don't tell me what to do.
- Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
- Philip, he's dead.
What happened? Hypothermia can still the heart, reduce vital signs, but he was young.
Opiates? No, his pupils were dilated.
Possibly some sort of paralysing agent, ricin, God knows.
We need a tox screen, urgently.
Initial tests suggest he ingested tetrodotoxin.
It's a heat-stable poison that blocks conduction along nerves.
His muscles, included those needed for breathing, would have become progressively more stiff and paralysed.
His heart rate and blood pressure would've plummeted, his pupils would have become fixed and dilated, in short, he appeared dead.
How is it administered? We're not sure yet.
Tetrodotoxin is found in pufferfish, frogs.
It's a marine bacteria.
We're examining the contents of Gerry's stomach.
Gerry had just eaten a meal.
Forensic guys are testing the leftovers.
I took it to him.
From where? The trolley.
It had his name on.
He's allergic to peanuts.
Who would have handled the tray? The kitchen staff and kitchen porters.
They're supplemented by ward porters, we're short-staffed.
It goes straight on to the wards? - If possible.
- Meaning? The ward hostesses cover more than one ward.
- Ward hostess? - Tea lady.
So it could have sat in the corridor unattended.
Yes.
Gerry Whyte, 22, junkie parents.
Let down by the system since the day he was born.
On the streets since he was 1 4.
He was alive on that lab table, unable to communicate and he heard his own postmortem.
He was in our care and we failed him.
It seemed feasible that the first two deaths were connected to the riot.
The most obvious person responsible for ordering the killing has been Meti.
But now, Meti's best mate has been killed.
Meti was aware that Gerry's allergy meant he got his own labelled meal.
And if Meti knew, what's the betting Mrs.
Meti also knew? She didn't seem surprised when we mentioned the assault on Leo Symons.
And Gina Meti is desperate to get her husband home.
I want a 24-hour surveillance on her.
Get authority for a phone intercept.
Who visited him in the last 24 hours? Governor Houseman.
He visited both the injured officers and prisoners yesterday morning.
Establish a time.
The consultant, Henderson? What do we know about him? Is he connected with the prison? Can I have a word, Mr.
Henderson? Mr.
Henderson? Do you have, or have you had any connection with the prison? What, do I have a criminal record? Haven't you checked? It's a simple question, Mr.
Henderson.
I expect nothing less.
Have you ever been to the prison as a visitor, a doctor? No.
Why are you so reluctant to talk to me? Time goes faster when you're getting older.
I don't want to squander any of it.
We'll ask people who formed the statistics, Ieague tables for the Department of Health and the local authority.
If you could just wait until I can get ahold of Clare.
I'm a police officer in a murder enquiry, just give me them.
Your consultant, Mr.
Henderson.
His mortality rate? Henderson's been up in front of the GMC.
He was ordered to re-train for a year before being allowed to operate again unsupervised.
His daughter was killed in a drink-driving accident.
His marriage ended, obviously his work suffered.
Now, after 1 2 months, the GMC put him back on.
- He is an extremely-- - He's been losing patient after patient.
Nine out of the 21 he operated on last month died.
I do the averages quarterly.
If you were doing your job properly, you'd be doing them daily.
- Be careful.
- Break that up, Meti.
- I never get to hug her.
Understand? - Meti.
Do you know how to interpret medical data? What do you imagine? The death of a patient on an operating table, during an elected procedure to remove a bunion is the same as that of a patient with chronic renal failure? - Mister-- - I'm talking to the monkey.
Three men have died in your custody.
And you dare to suggest that I'm an incompetent butcher? You are a dangerous woman.
Completely insane.
I know she plays tennis.
She gets tickets for Wimbledon.
And she's adopted.
Do you talk about her family? Not to her colleagues, not as far as I know.
Why don't we talk about things? We feel ashamed, and we feel guilty.
The degree of control she exhibits when discussing the riot does appear unnatural.
What can I do? Stop asking her questions.
You sent her to me.
I'll take care of her.
I shouldn't be allowing myself to do this.
To do what? Seeing you.
- But I did.
- You gave me back my life.
I missed you.
I missed you too.
It doesn't feel like 1 1 years.
No, it doesn't.
Next time you see Kate, can you ask her how many gunshots there were? I just wanted to say how sorry-- How really sorry I am about Gerry.
You'll pay.
One way or another, you'll pay.
How was your counsellor? She didn't like me.
I could tell as soon as I walked in.
But she has a good reputation.
I got the impression that she was judging me.
What if she thinks I'm not fit? That's it, I'm off the case.
My whole career is ruined.
Why would she be judging you? Well, that's her job, isn't it? To trap me.
What right has she got to go rummaging around in my brain? Well, it's hard to talk about yourself.
It makes me angry.
I never used to be angry, I was always in control of my life.
And now, I'm surrounded by these stupid, stupid people who think they're so clever.
Henderson, Mrs.
Meti, Dad.
"Business is always good for a good builder.
" What does that mean? It's just words to push you away.
Sorry.
You've been through a terrible ordeal.
You can't pretend it hasn't happened.
You got to promise me, you'll carry on with the counsellor.
Governor Houseman's wife reported him missing at 6.
.
30.
Houseman rang, said he was on his way to the hospital to visit the prisoners, then he'd be home.
The wife stayed up until 1 2, then she went to bed.
When she woke up, he still wasn't back.
- Houseman drive a car? - Yeah, a navy Laguna apparently.
Okay, okay, check the car park.
- Control.
- Copy, Found blue Laguna.
CCTV picked up Governor Houseman heading towards the rear entrance at 1 0.
.
37 p.
m.
His car is still in the car park.
Excuse me.
Ambulances don't use this door.
- Why the sign? - It's for the waste trucks.
Once in the day, once at night.
Why Houseman? Same thing.
Corruption, events in the jail.
Victim didn't die in the hospital.
Wasn't an inmate.
It's not the same thing, doctor.
The macabre method of death, it's pretty consistent.
These killings are opportunistic.
They haven't been planned months in advance.
Why doesn't he or she just shoot them through the head, why go to this trouble? Maybe shooting is too good for them.
Suggesting what about the killer? They are very angry about something.
Okay.
So is it credible? All this is about conditions in the prison? All right.
Suspects.
Sal Meti and his wife.
Are they together or separately organising these killings? Mrs.
Meti was allowed to visit Meti yesterday on compassionate grounds.
Surveillance report she then sat in a car in the hospital car park for three hours.
She didn't leave until well after the waste trucks had come and gone.
She contracted someone else to do the killings.
She waited until she was sure the job had been done.
Why didn't she go to a bar for an alibi? She's arrogant, she's taunting us.
She thinks we won't be able to establish a link between her and who she got to do the job.
Go through her old client list.
See if there's any likely villain who would kill for money.
Henderson was also in the building earlier.
We had a bit of a run-in with him.
- What about? - I had the run-in with him.
He wasn't happy that I've been checking up on him.
I murdered the governor, I killed Gerry.
Is that what you think? Your wife had several very public rows with the governor.
He was dangerous, incompetent.
Gina would do anything to protect you.
She wants you home.
No.
That's insane.
How long have you actually spent with her? You've never stayed in the same house, you've never slept in the same bed.
How do you know what she's capable of? We're soul mates.
She loves me.
Love can make us do some extraordinary things.
Maybe she loves you too much.
Only too aware of the sacrifices she's made.
If Gina's in trouble, Iet me help.
If you want to help, Metcalfe, you get me out of here.
Anywhere.
I don't care, just somewhere I don't feel afraid.
I'll try.
I want a list ofr every patient staying or attending in this hospital, Deliveries are to be supervised.
I wanna see the files of all staff employed in this building.
Doctors, nurses, technicians, Iab assistants, porters, cleaners.
As you'll appreciate, I have no option but to close this hospital to new admissions.
Visiting is banned, except for the families of the terminally ill.
Any patients that you believe are fit to go home must be discharged.
If you feel you cannot continue to work under these conditions, please discuss this with the management.
However, I would like to stress that the victims have been confined to those people who had connections with the prison.
We have no reason at this time to believe that staff or other patients are at risk.
In the prison, the moment before you thought you were going to die, what do you remember? Nothing.
And when you heard the gunshot? Gunshots.
Sorry, was there more than one? There were two.
And when you heard them, what did you feel? I thought, "Now we have backup.
The situation is contained.
" That's all you felt? Are you trying to trick me? Why would I do that? You've had it in for me since we started.
You're a control freak.
You could be mad for all I know.
Is that what you're afraid of? You think you're going mad? Kate became very upset.
It's my opinion she's not fit for duty.
You only had two sessions with her, Are you questioning my judgement? I'm asking for more time.
Time fror what? I'm not going to fight with you.
My report will be with the commander in the morning, I have to go.
Good night, Red, Can I help you? Susan.
Hello.
Would you like to come in? How would you like to do this? Yes.
No.
I'm sorry.
I can't divulge that.
He loves you very much.
Hello? Hello?
