Silent Witness (1996) s12e11 Episode Script

SHE SIGHS Be there.
BE there.
'Rachel?' Dad.
'I'm about to go into a meeting.
' I don't care what you're bloody doing.
'I really don't have time for this.
' Neither do I.
Come on, come on, come on 'How much is it this time?' I don't want your sodding money, Dad.
'I'll call you back.
' Daddy, please! Shit.
Come on.
Come on, come on! Come on, come on! 'Nikki Alexander! Come here.
' Hello! Hello.
Welcome to Zambia.
You look amazing.
What the hell are those Poms giving you to eat? There's nothing there, woman! This is Steve.
Stephen Harrington.
Rachel's dad.
Hello, I'm really sorry.
You on your own? No, um, Harry and Leo got stopped.
You DID tell us to say we were on holiday? Yeah.
Why don't you phone Katembula? He's a government minister; pull a few strings.
Is there a problem? No, no, there shouldn't be.
It's just when they heard you guys were coming they got a bit funny.
They'll be fine.
It's a brain knife.
Thanks for meeting us.
No, no, no, thank you for coming here.
I know you're doing this as a favour,I really appreciate it.
Anything I can do.
Just ask.
Let's hope we can be of use.
Can you believe, the only pathologist in this country- So there hasn't even been an initial post mortem? Look, I need to go.
I can't wait to meet Helen and the boys.
Well, you can all come over to the house in Ndola.
I'll send a car.
Check you later, yeah? See you.
The death of a foreign aid worker is not good news but with the election coming up, the opposition are using your arrival as proof the government have been negligent with crime.
That's why I want a second opinion.
Bad news travels fast.
Aid programmes, tourism, foreign investment.
All these will suffer, you know.
OK, let's go.
Put your seat belts on, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
What's happened? An accident? Routine police block.
All along the Great North.
Checking lorries, taxis.
Permits.
We'll be fine.
If Rachel was murdered, have you any idea who or why? That's your job, isn't it? There is only so much we can learn from the body She'd been creating a bit of a stink about villagers dying Katembula in particular.
Is he the man you phoned at the airport? We all use people in this country, no matter what we think about them.
You think she made some enemies? Rachel came to this country to make a difference.
Didn't we all? Yeah, she made some enemies, haven't we all? 'Pull over, sir.
' Young mining.
I said pull over, sir.
There's nothing wrong with this vehicle and you bloody well know it.
'Pull over.
' I said, pull over.
Jesus.
Stay here.
Hey, man, what's going on? I assumed we'd be here in a more official capacity, didn't you? Do you think that's a problem? It might be if they don't let us look at the body.
You know our deal.
You think they might try and stop us? They barely let you out of the airport.
Mr Harrington I didn't say you could go! I don't think they want you to leave! CAR HORN BEEPS I thought we were heading for Chingola.
I told you it'd get bumpy.
'Bethany?' What are you doing in here? I thought we told you to stay out.
The experts from the UK are coming.
It's all right, Maidstone.
Bethany was just leaving.
I thought it might be Miss Rachel.
No.
Shouldn't we stop? And do what exactly? When was the last time you saw Rachel? You sound like the bloody police.
They've questioned you? Yeah.
They came to the office, took me down to the station.
Where was I? When did I last see Rachel? Like I was a bloody criminal.
The same would happen in the UK.
Parents, relatives, friends are all interviewed.
It's routine.
Routine, my arse.
They haven't got a clue.
Shit.
Who are they? I suggest we don't hang around to find out.
GUNSHOTS There's a pistol in there.
Hide what you can! They want clothes, money, anything they can sell.
Shit, they're behind us! It's all right, it's all right! Hey, give me the necklace.
Please, it's my grandmother's! Leave her alone! Give him the necklace! Leave her alone.
Give me the jacket, give me the jacket! SHE SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE SHE CONTINUES, THEN SAYS: Dr Rachel.
Rachel, did you say Rachel? I'm Rachel's father.
Do you know what happened to her? Doctor Rachel risked her life trying to help people like us, and now she has been killed.
Who killed her? Who killed her?! Ask them.
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.
Get after them.
Get after them, they knew Rachel.
We have called for back-up.
From Ndola? That'll take hours.
You can identify these people? The woman said Rachel had helped them.
They might be from Mulonga.
Refugees or a gang from across the border.
We will do our best to find them.
We won't hold our breath.
Detective Inspector Hamukoma.
This is the man who interrogated me for six hours.
We simply asked you a few questions, Mr Harrington, and you were most helpful.
I am Cosmas.
You must be the British experts.
My card.
How did you know we were here? It is a good job that we did.
Why did you take this road? It's a short cut.
To getting killed, perhaps.
Do we have permission to look at the body? Body? Of Rachel Harrington.
There is no body.
A few bones only.
They have been taken to the Royal College Hospital.
In Lusaka? We've just been driving four hours.
Dr Phiri has kindly shortened his vacation, he will be examining them.
Why wasn't I told about this? May we still look at them? I am sure there will be no problem with that.
Thank you.
Come on.
We've still got time.
We can have a look at where she was found.
It would not be wise to travel back to your hotel in the dark, as you know.
Perhaps we can all meet in Kafemba first thing tomorrow morning.
You want to be there? If I have your permission.
Is this where you and Peter work? Ellis Young, one of the oldest mining companies in Zambia.
Lusaka.
The Great North Road We're here, I think.
Yes.
Rachel was found here.
I didn't realise how close we were to the border.
He didn't answer my question, Stephen.
I asked him when he last saw his daughter.
Is he paying for all this? How can he afford it? I can't.
I'm sorry about today.
I don't think our lives were in any real danger.
Oh, good(!) And don't worry about the money.
Whatever it costs.
Really.
The hotel has a little shop, you can buy whatever you need there, until your suitcases turn up.
Not that they will, of course.
How long had Rachel been in Zambia? Three months.
She came over as a volunteer to help at The Saint Agatha's Mission.
My side of the family, rape and pillage, her side, care and cure.
So how long would it take to get from the mission to where her remains were found? Er, about an hour.
Here.
Rachel wanted me to get Ellis Young to put some money their way.
It's run by this crazy religious couple who go about like it's their own private fiefdom.
Maybe Harry and I should go and take a look.
What for? Background on Rachel.
They might know where she'd been, where she was going, people she knew.
The day she disappeared, is that when you last saw Rachel? It's when I last spoke to her.
'Dad?' I was about to go into a meeting.
'I don't bloody care what you're doing.
' During the meeting I started to get worried about her.
Daddy, please! She didn't say why she was calling? I would have said if she had.
Why were you so worried? A father knows.
After the meeting I tried to call her but What was she doing out there? I don't know.
I don't know.
I'll pick you up at seven, if that's not too early.
It'll take over an hour to get there.
Have you heard from Peter? Not since this morning, no.
Why? He invited us over.
Well, he's a busy man.
Does that mean we're eating here? Good.
Because I am starving.
Why can't he or won't he say when he last saw Rachel? What's all that about? Do you think he's hiding something from us? He's upset.
His daughter's been murdered.
Exactly.
It's your birthday.
I promised Mum and Dad.
How old are you, nine? No, I just You are an 18-year-old woman, Beth.
A lovely, sexy woman who deserves to enjoy herself.
I feel stupid enough with this make-up on.
You look gorgeous.
I could eat you.
What's the worst that could happen,- Beth? You might have a good time? You might live a little? Say's he's never seen an elephant before.
Have you told him they're not elephants? I'm sure I HAVE seen an elephant, at the zoo when I was a kid.
Just never in the wild.
Good morning.
Oh, morning.
Ready? Good morning.
Good morning, how are you? Good, thank you.
Do you have any idea what my daughter might have been doing out here? The village of Kafemba is just a couple of miles.
If you follow me.
Watch your head.
CHILDREN CHEER EXCITEDLY Hello, how are you? CHILDREN: Sweets, sweets! I haven't got any sweets, I'm afraid.
I'm sorry.
There are no sweets.
Back to school! Leo Dalton, Leo Dalton, Harry Cunningham.
Chris Andrews.
Hello, hello, hello.
Welcome to Saint Agatha's.
Benji, you should be in school with Miss Andrews.
Go on, go on.
Bethany My daughter, she runs the school.
Anyway, come on in, come on in.
How many patients do you have here? At present, I'm not sure exactly.
Over 60 is the norm.
HIV/AIDS mostly.
Also TB, dysentery.
In the last few months we've had a pretty serious outbreak of something causing severe stomach cramps, diarrhoea, well you name it.
We thought it was cholera at first,- but thank the Lord it wasn't.
Harriet, darling, um Leo, Harry, this is Harriet, my wife.
A bit primitive compared to what you're used to, I'm sure, but it does the job.
They want to ask some questions about Rachel.
We all miss her dreadfully.
Can you finish these? Yes, of course.
If you want to come on my rounds it might be best.
We're a little overrun, as you'll see.
Should we wear gloves for that or? You can if you want, I don't.
Never have.
Same with masks, I like to get to know my patients.
Let them see who I am.
It's often taken a great deal for them to be here.
Would you like to come this way? This is Chuma.
She came to us a few weeks ago, didn't you? All skin and bone.
Doctor Rachel looked after me.
We managed to double her weight in a few days.
Doctor Rachel saved my life.
You saved your own life, Chuma, by coming here in the first place.
I had sex with many men and now I am infected with HIV.
Her uncle sold her to mine workers.
My uncle came to the mission to look for me.
He hated me being here.
You should have seen Rachel, called him every name under the sun.
SHE COUGHS Are you a doctor? Yes.
But, er, not like Rachel.
Doctor Cunningham is a forensic doctor.
He examines the dead.
Doctor? You can look at the view in your own time.
The remains were found here.
Would you rather wait in the car? Yeah I'm sorry.
The man who found them said he saw animals feeding here.
They were fighting over the bones.
How long was this after Rachel called Mr Harrington? Well Rachel called me on the Thursday, 12.
30.
I tried to call her Friday, Saturday, drove up to the mission, they hadn't seen her, but they said she often went off for days without contacting them so we left it until the Monday.
The bones were found the following Tuesday.
So it was about two weeks before you got here.
Yes, that's correct.
A little bit slower than you are used to.
Not necessarily.
Can you show me exactly where everything was found? The bones were scattered around.
The main body was found here.
The ring on her finger.
We showed it to the daughter at the mission.
Has it rained heavily in the last two weeks? No.
It has been mainly dry, why? Animals work in two ways.
The bigger animals, lions for example You think she was eaten by a lion? No My daughter knew this part of- the world, how to conduct herself.
When she was younger we used to go on safaris, camp by the Zambezi I'm just trying to establish whether all the bones have been found.
The smaller animals, dogs, canids, they will grab what they can and then carry it away.
We collected everything we could find.
I don't believe Rachel would have been stupid enough She may not have been alive when the animals got to her.
You mean she was dumped here? How can you know this? I'd have expected to find more blood, in the soil, on the rock, even the vegetation.
There doesn't seem to be any and given the lack of rain Excuse me! This is a potential scene of crime.
Ya, we know.
What do you think you're doing? Give me that.
Are you the forensic dude from London? Where did you find this? Oh, it was over there.
Where, exactly? I took a photo of it.
Hey, would you mind if I Yes, I would.
All right No, it's not all Cosmas! We just came out to help.
Why are you taking photos? We knew Rachel, that's why we're here.
I'm Emil and this is Sian.
I'm Rachel's father.
Oh, ya, she spoke about you.
What do you mean? What did she say? Just that she was brought up here and that you worked for a big copper mine.
She was an amazing person.
We can't believe she's dead.
Can we? When did you last see her? She sent me a text on the Thursday,- saying she had a big story for me.
Emil's studying to be a journo.
Is that why you're here? What story? She was campaigning about the villages up here and the refugee camp up at Mulonga, saying people were being killed by an outbreak of something.
She called me saying she knew what was happening.
We were supposed to meet.
Why didn't you go to the police? We- didn't know anything had happened.
And Rachel was a bit like that, you'd arrange to meet up and she wouldn't show or something else happened.
Is this No.
It's an animal bone.
We only got back yesterday.
Did she tell you what she found out? Not in detail.
I know she was getting some information off top people.
What people? Company bosses, politicians.
Rachel could be very persuasive.
Yeah, no-one ever said no to Rachel.
Dont Is that? It's part of a human ribcage.
So you never got to the bottom of what was causing these mysterious illnesses and deaths? Well, whatever it was, seems to have abated.
But Rachel detected some kind of pattern to them? Well, yes, according to Rachel it was definitely a water borne disease.
First it was cholera, and then it wasn't cholera, it was leptospirosis, then it wasn't leptospirosis it was yellow fever.
Which isn't water borne.
Exactly.
But that wasn't important for Rachel, what she wanted was action.
Were tests carried out? Oh, yeah, of course, but they all came back clear.
Rachel, not happy with that, started accusing ministers of doctoring the results.
Ludicrous.
So, this is Kafemba.
Witchcraft.
It is still very powerful here.
You're wearing jeans.
Hmm? They think you're a sex worker.
I'd like to talk to the man who found the bones.
Mizinga.
I'll go find him.
You know what happened, don't you? Until we've carried out the post mortem, I can't confirm anything.
Doctor Alexander? It is where the animals are killed.
Why did Rachel come here? According to the people at the mission, the villagers were dying from the sickness that was here.
Rachel came to look after them and to find the cause.
Wouldn't the villagers look to their OWN doctors for a cure? The people here blame the refugees at Mulonga for poisoning the water, they put curses on them.
So Rachel comes here like an old-fashioned missionary.
Handing out drugs, taking samples, driving patients to the mission.
I bet she wasn't welcomed with open arms.
PHONE RINGS Peter? Niks, how is it going? It DOES look like murder.
Shit.
Really? How's Steve coping? It'd be good if he had a friend here with him.
Yeah, I'd, I'd like to be there but I'm up to my eyes.
Look, about last night, sorry buter, my flight got delayed.
Unusual, eh? No problem.
We'll organise something later.
Yeah, we're free tonight I think.
Great, great.
Er, catch up then.
OK, bye.
CHILDREN CHANT: Three times two is six, four times two is eight, four times two is eight, five times two is ten Carry on.
Benji? You've come about Rachel.
Do you know how she died? We're still You do, what happened? We've not had a chance to examine the body yet.
What have my parents told you? About Rachel? Not much, I You know the day she left, something happened.
We were meant to be going out that night.
Me and Rachel.
It was important.
She wouldn't have let me down.
What do you mean,- "something happened"? I don't know.
I don't know.
Y'know, when Rachel first came here it was like I can't describe it, she was just so full of passion and energy, everyone just fell in love with her- and she was just such good fun The day she went missing there was an outage, power failure, and that's what it's been like ever since she's been gone.
It's just been a constant outage.
She was murdered, wasn't she? CHILDREN: Twelve times three is thirty six You found the body? HE SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE I'm not a prostitute, I'm a doctor.
- From England.
MAN TRANSLATES MAN REPLIES TRANSLATION: I went to the river to fish.
Were you alone? Dogs were eating the bones.
Dogs were eating the bones.
I saw the head of a woman.
Why don't you talk to her in English? Stephen Did you, um, see anything else? Knives? A machete? I threw rocks at the dogs.
Has he been rehearsing this? Did you offer any kind of reward to- help find Rachel? My daughter came to help you people! Kick the truth out of him! No! No! Mr Harrington What did you do to her? Please, Stephen, I know you're upset but we've no evidence.
I just saw the evidence.
I heard the evidence.
We've no proof.
I'm getting it for you.
He'll confess.
You brought me here to help you find out what happened to Rachel.
I can do that but not like this.
We have the bones.
I'll examine them.
I'll find out what happened.
I promise you.
You'd think a man so close to a daughter would have spent a bit more time with her.
He was threatening to shoot them? Yes, it was terrifying, unbelievable.
Thank you.
So how did it go at the mission? Well, Chris and Harriet clearly thought Rachel was a liability.
And they were jealous of her.
You think so? Yeah.
She was the star turn, wasn't she? Sorry we're late.
Peter, this is Leo, Harry.
Hi.
Hi, pleased to meet you guys.
How you doing? I hear you're doing an amazing job.
Drink, anyone? No, thanks.
I'm all right, thanks.
Are we off to yours now? I need to go to the room and get something Sorry.
Helen's had to go to Zim where her brother lives.
He's, er, he's having a terrible time As soon as she's back we can bore them stupid with our childhood memories, eh? Gin and tonic, please.
So, I hear you suspect the people at- Kafemba, is it true? It's early days.
What more do you want? -It might help if we knew more about Rachel.
She went there and they killed her.
Cosmas tells me that in all the time your daughter was in Zambia you saw her only once.
You blaming ME now, as well? That's not what she meant.
You just seem reluctant to talk about her.
I didn't really know her! OK? I'm sorry, sorry.
Truth is, you've probably found out- more about Rachel in one day than The biggest mistake I made was going back to the UK.
We had this idea that Rachel needed- a proper English education.
But Jesus I couldn't bear it The noise, the people, the bloody stink of the place.
You know what it's like.
It's in the blood.
Rachel and her mother, the Africans, decided to stay .
.
in bloody Ealing.
When she died a couple of years ago I didn't even- go to the bloody funeral.
Steve, she wouldn't have come to yours.
Maybe, but Rachel never forgave me.
Why did she come to see you that one time? She came to the mine wanting help.
Money, testing samples I didn't really listen.
I acted like a bloody idiot.
Ended up screaming at each other.
What about? Why did I do that? I just wanted to give her a big hug.
She came to me asking me for help and I Steve tells me some of Rachel's friends turned up.
Emil and Sian.
He was meant to meet- Rachel the day she disappeared.
I wouldn't trust him for a second.
He's a bloody journo.
He seemed to think Rachel had found out what was causing this unknown sickness.
What- did he say? He implied that he knew who Rachel had been talking to.
Who she thought was responsible.
He- thinks she had proof of some kind.
He was on a fishing trip.
So, when do you do the post mortem? We're flying to Lusaka tomorrow.
Will that tell you who killed Rachel? I hope so.
I want to catch the bastard, yeah? It's the least I can do.
Professor Dalton.
Mmm-hm.
This was left for you Sir.
Oh, thanks.
What's that? It's a diary of some sort? Belonging to Rachel.
Who left it here? I don't know.
It came earlier, ma'am.
TEXT MESSAGE I just need to get some credit for my phone.
What, now? HE CRIES OUT BONES CRACK According to this, they threatened to deport her.
Who did? Albert Katembula.
Or KatemBULA? Is that how you pronounce it? You've got to help me.
My boyfriend, Emil! They've called the surgeon that operated on him but he can't get here until this afternoon.
He's in a local hospital.
Please! Emil was in a hit and run last night.
I was in the shower, I thought we were going to bed.
He said he was going to get some credit for his phone.
Did he need to call someone? I'll check.
Right.
OK.
Legs broken, ribs both hips fracturedcrushed, his blood pressure.
Rachel? The abdomen is severely distended.
Rachel sent him a message last night.
What? Rachel Harrington? "Kafemba at eight, xxx.
" Who told you it was a hit and run? Well, the police Why? Are you a doctor? Ah.
Good.
The patient shows all signs of abdominal bleeding.
The pupils aren't dilated.
What does that mean? It means his problems are coming from the not from any head injury.
abdomen, They operated on him.
A ruptured spleen They said they fixed it.
A suture may have come loose Shit.
No! What? They were screwing each other.
Rachel and Emil.
Hold on The surgeon will be here at three.
That's not good enough.
Will he die? You'll help him? Me? You're a doctor.
PEOPLE CHANT: Katembula! Katembula! Katembula! Katembula! Katembula! Katembula! Albert Katembula.
Hello.
Sir, it's a pleasure to have you here at our Royal College Hospital, although I've been told we should pull it down and build something that doesn't feel quite like a Gulag! The elections are coming You're very welcome to do this post mortem.
Zambia is a free, democratic country that takes pride in its police force but we also encourage advice and expert opinion from abroad.
I understand you had dealings with Rachel Harrington? Miss Harrington was a A special person.
We met on a number of occasions but, er, I think I put her mind at rest.
And you encouraged her to stay in Zambia and carry on with her work? You know, this country always welcomes bright, young people who work for the benefit of Zambia.
- If you'd like to come this way.
I spoke with The British High Commission and they have assured me that you'll not find anything that's not there.
I'm not sure that I follow Sir, I'm aware that your expertise may have more sway in a courtroom because of who you are.
I'm just, I'm just urging caution.
Why don't you all come and watch? LOWERS VOICE: Then you can see, first hand, what we find.
Come on, please.
Pain relief.
A local anaesthetic would do.
We have a small amount of morphine.
- Perfect.
What are you going to do? Access the abdomen via the laparotomy incision wound, then reopen the suture using tweezers and this scalpel.
But what about all the blood? Do you have a portable suction machine? I'll look.
Thank you.
Where are you going? I don't want to- stay here.
He doesn't deserve it.
No.
I might need your help.
Pulse 135.
What's happened? I can't find the bleed.
There's too much blood.
Squeeze the drip.
Sian, squeeze the drip! We need to elevate his blood pressure.
Christ, I haven't done this since I was junior doctor.
Now you tell me(!) Ah, Got it! Got it, got it, got it From the rib bones found at the scene, we believe the body sustained multiple stab wounds.
There are marks to the remaining ribs and the pelvis.
There are marks to the remaining ribs and the pelvis.
Would this indicate that she was attacked by more than one person? It looks like different knives were- used so yes, it's a possibility.
Err May I see this please? There, there and there.
In the UK, a body can take between nine months- and two years to disintegrate from corpse to a skeleton.
Out here it takes about a week Depending on the season.
Yep.
There are several methods What I admire the most about UK, is when someone dies or disappears, police are searching everywhere, no matter the cost.
One day, Zambia will have this.
Yeah.
There are several methods to help us determine time of death includingmaggots.
A few knife marks and some maggots.
- You know, this might be enough in UK but not here.
Unless of course the maggots can stand up in court and give evidence.
SCATTERED LAUGHTER What else have you got? Is something wrong? Dr Alexander? Nikki? This isn't Rachel Harrington.
Not Rachel? That's right.
But the police Put two and two together.
The body we examined was of a woman- in her mid 40s.
You can tell that, eh? Yeah.
The inner part of the pelvis is bumpy, the pattern of those bumps changes with age.
Does that mean that Rachel is alive? It means that Rachel is alive.
I'm sorry, I feel like a bit of a bloody idiot.
Bringing you all the way out here and it not even being my daughter.
If it's not Rachel, who the hell is it? We don't know.
If she's still alive, I'll bloody well kill her, eh(?) Rum punch all round please.
The bones aren't Rachel's No, Emil got sent a text by Rachel last night.
What? He went to meet her but got knocked off his bike.
Driving here's terrible, eh? I'm not sure it was an accident Is he all right? He should be He got a text from Rachel? Yes.
HE CHUCKLES What? She's done this type of thing before.
What do you mean? When she was younger, she skipped out of school Thanks(!) Barely 16, she was.
She was one of those kids who got very passionate about things The saxophone, boyfriend, hobbies.
It was all or nothing and then after a few weeks, all forgotten, onto the next distraction.
And you think that's what she's done this time? The water samples she asked us to test for her, they all came back negative.
I told you - she liked to have a cause to shout about.
Then, when it got boring or the results didn't go her way According to her diary, people WERE Yeah.
She was building up a lot of evidence According to Emil she'd got some answers.
Why would she run away from that? But this reporter she's texting, what the hell is that about? Sian, Emil's girlfriend, thinks that- Rachel and Emil were lovers.
The texts on his cellphone indicated So that was all a lie.
He wasn't meeting Rachel for some scoop, he was meeting her for a shag.
That's not what I'm saying I think There's more to this.
Well, now there's not a body to examine, you don't have to think about it any more.
You want us to leave? What's the point of you staying? I can't really afford you anyway and look at it, it's a bloody farce.
He'll be fine.
Kids, eh? I've got an idea.
Why don't I organise a special trip for you guys? No experience is ever wasted, not in Zambia it's not.
Steve, she'll come back What about sending up some planes, getting a search party? No.
Thanks.
You've done enough.
Look, Steve, I need to ask you something.
Do you know where Rachel is? No.
Why are you asking me that? You're my friend, Steve, I just want to help, if you know something, tell me.
Are you accusing me? No.
I don't think you've done anything.
What's your friend Nikki been saying? Rachel called you that day,- the day she left.
You were there.
If you hadn't called me into that bloody meeting Has she called you again? No.
Of course not.
I keep looking at my phone, to see Do you know how many times I've called her? I need to find her.
'13 million kwachas?' That's how much it costs per month to run the mission.
Thinking of making a donation? Ha.
I might have to.
According to Rachel most of the funding comes from local businesses and charities but because of the fuss she was making, the money had dried up.
Chris has done the cooking.
We love Nigella and, um naked chef man.
But getting all the ingredients, well, one has to be creative I hope you like bream.
Mmm, lovely.
Caught not far from here.
Oh, really? How much do we tell them? The truth should be sufficient.
Yours or God's? It's not Rachel's body.
They don't even know that she's dead.
And you do? That's not what I meant and you know it.
So this is Kapenta.
It's a very traditional Zambian dish.
Kapenta.

How did it feel to have Emil's life in your hands? What? These hands THEY LAUGH God was with you.
Well, er, Sian was, his girlfriend, and a very worried looking nurse who kept telling me I was doing it wrong, all the time.
I was wondering, do you have any idea where Rachel might have gone? Have you tried the Polo Club Resort?- She seemed to love it over there.
Didn't she, Bethany? You've barely eaten a thing, are you all right? The day Rachel left What exactly happened? Neither of us actually saw Rachel leave.
saw her heading west? Maidstone saw her go.
Who's Cossie? The patient of Rachel's, why? Well, Rachel mentions meeting her, in her diary.
Have you Where did you get that? It was left at the hotel.
I don't know who by Here we are.

Rachel had left by then.
Oh, I see.
So they never met? Not that I'm aware.
Bethany.
Evening.
A big asterisk.
Yes.
We were going out.
Were you? Where to? Not the Polo Club, I hope.
You were pleased, weren't you? When Rachel had gone! I wouldn't quite put it like that.
You didn't like her being here.
Rachel was a brilliant doctor, You often say that, Chris, and yes, Rachel was very charismatic but and passionate about her work and the patients loved having her around, but she was also erratic and sloppy- in the way she conducted You didn't want to see the back of her, did you, Dad? Well, no Mainly because you liked seeing the front of her! Bethany, please.
Rachel told me she caught Dad spying on her! Why are you shouting? I'm not shouting! You didn't have to spy on Rachel to see what she had to offer.
Christopher! You said it yourself that she should stop wearing jeans I must apologise, I'm sure you don't want to hear Did you see the way Maidstone looked at her? We've got some fresh fruit if anyone's interested.
Yeah, yeah, thank you.
In the last few months, yes, we were- having, well, we were struggling, um, but that's part of the thrill of doing what we do! "This month we can pay people!" With all this analysis of the patients, from villages and the refugee camp, a lot of this- came from a computer, so PHONE RINGS Yeah.
She'd a laptop.
Where is it? It's locked away, if you must know.
Why don't you come by tomorrow sometime? No What? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have to go.

I know how you feel about Rachel, but we did everything that we could.
But it's not our fault she's not here.
We'll talk in the morning.
We're very disappointed in you.
Rachel? Rachel! Please! Where are you?! If she left before ten, and we know- that Rachel called her father at 12:30, that means she could have been driving for two, three hours.
God, that puts her halfway to Lusaka or across the border even.
She's been missing for two weeks Do you think she's still alive? I really have no idea.
That's that politician we met in Lusaka.
Albert Katembula.
