Silent Witness (1996) s28e02 Episode Script

1
This programme contains some scenes which some viewers
may find upsetting from the start and some violent scenes
You know, they say
loneliness is a killer.
I found her shoeprints in the cave.
TERRIFIED WHIMPERING
Someone else was there.
- Hi, I'm Harriet.
- JACK: Hi.
Please call me Professor.
MRS BAXTER: He's still there.
What if he does something?
What if you're not here?
- We live here, not Gloria.
- No, Gloria lives here.
BENJAMIN: These are her things.
How did they get here?
What are you interviewing for?
Crime analyst.
I thought you needed support.
Mr Dawson?
- Yes.
- I'm here for our appointment.
Useless git. He wouldn't sign it.
Is he going to cause us any trouble?
He's a confused old man.
JACK: Her name is Edith Bausch.
Welcome to Cherry Hill. I'm Blessing.
Why would they be out here,
at their age
..in clothes like this?

CLOCK TICKING QUIETLY
Do we think they were a couple?
No wedding rings.
Doesn't necessarily mean anything.
A ring for their
generation's important.
Don't you think?
And for me.
It means a lot to me.
You know, at the beginning,
when I'd just started,
I would dread the end of the day.
I couldn't close my eyes.
Images of what I'd seen
came flooding back.
Couldn't sleep.
Haunted by them.
I guess I didn't feel safe.
Something about today
just won't go away.
How long do you think they'd been dead?
Three weeks? Their bodies
are in active decay.
No-one missed them.
No missing person's report.
I was thinking, how many
people would miss me
if one day I wasn't there?
- I would miss you.
- Hmm.
JACK CHUCKLES
Thanks.
Hmm.
But let's say
..we went for a walk together,
a walk in the woods,
and got lost
- Do you think they got lost?
- Don't you?
Hmm.
- Lost by design maybe.
- Huh?
- Senicide.
- What's that?
Altruistic self-sacrifice.
An old tradition.
Examples of it
in lots of different cultures.
You sacrifice yourself
to stop being a burden
to your community.
When the island of Keos
in the Aegean Sea
was besieged by Athens,
the people of Keos voted
that all people over 60
should kill themselves
by drinking hemlock
to preserve the food supply.
- You're serious?
- They did this willingly.
And then there are
the old apocryphal stories
of old Native Americans
who wander off into
the wilderness to die.
Mm-hm.
Or the Inuit
..who put their old on ice floes
and let them drift away into oblivion.
Hmm.
You can close your eyes now.
Or perhaps they simply got lost.
BIRDSONG
WATER RUNS NEARBY
Gary!
He's still there.
What's he doing?
Just sitting there doing nothing.
He's an old man.
That's what old men do.
No good use to anyone.
- Call the police.
- I'm not calling the police.
- Please!
- I've called the police.
They say he's not bothering anyone.
He's bothering me.
Oh
So, Edith Bausch has been
dead for three months?
- At least.
- You're certain?
Absolutely certain.
That doesn't make any sense, does it?
I mean, nothing really makes
much sense,
but this definitely
doesn't make any sense.
Her obituary was posted
online three months ago.
Why wasn't the death registered?
The care home was
told she died elsewhere.
Yeah, by a grandson that may not exist.
The care home believe
she died in a hospital,
therefore she's their responsibility.
If the death isn't registered,
her pension and any other
benefits are still paid.
So they killed her for the benefits?
There's no obvious sign
of third-party involvement
before her death.
- What about the acid?
- She was already dead.
Someone walked her into the cave.
And left her there.
Who?
Her grandson?
VEHICLE APPROACHES
POLICE OFFICER: Mr Dawson?
Mr Dawson, did you hear me?
Why are you sitting out here?
I'm waiting for my friend
Gloria to come home.
OFFICER SIGHS
Mr Dawson
..your friend doesn't live here.
Since when?
Since now.
Mr Dawson, when was
the last time you saw Gloria?
Two
..weeks. Three.
Three. Yeah. Three weeks. I think.
Yes. Three.
What did she say to you?
What did she say?
To me?
I love you.
The last thing.
Love you.
She doesn't live there any more.
Gary and Lauren Baxter live there.
Mr Dawson, you're scaring them.
- I'm scaring them?
- I know you don't mean to.
She wouldn't leave
without saying goodbye.
She wouldn't do that to me.
Go home, Mr Dawson.
Go home.
Unidentified male.
White. 70 to 90 years old.
Damage to the face and body
appears to have been a result
of animal activity.
DI FLYNN: An animal bit his face?
Most likely bird and rodent, yes.
Postmortem.
And you can tell that, can you?
Yep. You can tell.
You look to see if the body
has responded to the injury.
And if there's no healing response,
then you can conclude that
death had already occurred.
At first sight, I thought that
the teeth marks on the foot
were likely to be a fox's.
But I think, based on the damage,
it is more likely
to be a larger animal.
Part of the right shin and foot
were found separate
to the rest of the body.
I think, from the teeth marks,
it could be a wild boar.
They actually do have wild
boar in that particular forest.
I hope I've retrieved enough material
to allow for an analysis of
saliva for serological testing
and cellular content.
A specific genetic
profile from the saliva
could help identify the unknown animal.
Have you examined the second body?
Not yet.
Is there any evidence of
animal interference on that body?
Not that I noticed
at the scene of the crime.
Why not?
I don't know.
Have we got any further
with identification?
DNA and fingerprints
aren't on the database.
Yeah, there's no matches
on an image search either.
Any reports of a missing couple?
Not that we're aware of, no.
Maybe they didn't want to be found.
Perhaps they were a couple
who wanted to go everywhere together.
Do we know how he died?
I believe he died of hypothermia.
Your body shuts down,
you lose consciousness.
Go to sleep, never wake up.
By accident, or did he just,
you know, sort of let himself die?
He might not have known
what he was doing.
He had Lyme disease.
Tested positive via Western blot.
Nine out of ten bands.
Lyme disease has been
linked to dementia.
Not proven.
Well, there is a school of thought
that there's a causal relationship.
The Oxford study says there's no link.
And some doctors don't view
the Oxford study as definitive.
Lyme disease
is a multi-system disorder.
It can affect many
of the system's organs -
the skin, joints, heart.
It's a demyelinating disorder
that has been associated with
neurodegenerative
brain disease and dementia.
John Doe's amygdala and spinal cord
were PCR-positive
for B burgdorferi DNA,
and an intact B burgdorferi
spirochete was found in tissue
of the spinal cord.
Borrelia burgdorferi
is a pathogenic spirochete
responsible for Lyme disease.
Well, you're signing the postmortem.
Thank you.
I've also sent blood
for genetic testing.
I believe, based on the lesions,
that neurodegeneration,
dementia, is involved,
irrespective of the cause.
Right. So, good. So, he
..became disoriented, got lost
and he fell asleep and then he died?
I might think that
..if there wasn't another body.
I don't know what to think.
This one was also on my shortlist.
Uh-huh.
Hmm.
Nah. I don't think so.
I'm not feeling it.
- Not feeling it?
- No.
Well, take a look at this one.
Ex-police officer. Good training.
Read her cover letter. Very keen.
She was on top of my shortlist.
Hmm.
I don't think so.
Too keen.
Too keen.
Oh, no. No, definitely not
my favourite.
Not sure she's up to it,
and I don't think
she'd get on with you.
Hmm. Looks interesting.
I think I should see her.
Suit yourself.
Unfortunately, there is no
match on the DNA database.
What, then?
Not surprising, is it?
Not that big a database,
relatively speaking,
and his age makes it even less likely.
Why less likely?
The National DNA Database
was started in 1995.
If he's 80 now,
he would have been 50 then.
Only 5% of arrests occur
among men over 50.
Of course, I'm sure you know that.
- Course.
- I'd look at his health.
Narrow the field.
Does he have any
long-term health conditions?
He has Lyme disease.
Lyme disease.
Good.
Why good?
Relatively rare.
There's only 1,500 to 2,000 cases
of Lyme disease a year.
His age, combined
with the Lyme disease,
creates a great limiting factor.
There are not going to be many
80-year-olds with Lyme disease.
I'd get the list from the NHS
and start calling.
Could be hundreds.
We'd start in an area
near where we found the body
and then work outwards.
Radius of five miles,
radius of ten miles,
20 miles, so on.
SHE LAUGHS
We'd find him.
Cool.
Um
JACK CLEARS HIS THROA
Another hypothetical
Two bodies found together.
Urban? Rural?
- Rural.
- Outdoors?
Yeah. One has been
disturbed by animals,
partially eaten. The other hasn't.
Can you explain it?
Contamination.
Either the eaten body had
a foreign substance on it
that made it attractive to the animals,
or the uneaten body
had a substance on it
that made it unappetising.
What made you want to do forensics?
I went to a lecture
given by Clarissa Mullery,
and I listened to her and
I thought, "I want to do that."
Actually, it was more
than that. I said to myself,
"I can do that."
She was a bit of a hero.
Hello, Miss Brooks.
Oh, my God!
Harriet Maven.
I just have one small question for you.
Chichester Psalms?

Now, would you like some milk, sir?
Yes, I think we should.
Ah

Ah, just a

Uh-huh.
SPOON STIRS
That is the perfect colour of tea.
Just splendid.
Now
..a nice biscuit?
Yes.
HE SIGHS
Maybe I'll have two.
HAMMERING ON DOOR
Damn.
DOOR OPENS
Hello, Mr Dawson.
What are you doing here?
Are you going to invite us in?
Please, come in.
DOOR CLOSES
I've just made myself a cup
of tea. Would you like one?
That would be very kind.
Oh
Mr Dawson?
As some people get older, they
They what?
Lose some of their
..functions.
Functions?!
I'm not a doctor.
Clearly not!
Can I help you find something?
My tea!
I put down my tea somewhere.
Memory, hearing, eyesight
It's normal.
Yes, for some people, some functions.
We want you
to get the support you need.
I don't need support! I'm fine.
Gloria Mead is my friend.
I-I haven't heard from her.
I think she's missing.
How do I report her missing?
I'll look into it. Maybe they've moved.
If I can find out where they've
moved to, I'll let you know.
Is that all right?
Mr Dawson?
Yes, yes. It's fine.
Go.
Those useless set of functions!
We need to get
adult social services involved.
Where is my goddamn cup of tea?!
The deceased is a white female,
60 to 80 years old.
SNIFFS AND SIGHS
Nitrazepam.
I'm going to need more than that.
Jane Doe - woman in the woods.
She shows a significant
amount of nitrazepam
in her system.
Nitrazepam is
a benzodiazepine.
It's contraindicated
for elderly patients.
You keep the patient
conscious but compliant,
but it can cause cognitive impairment
and delirium,
and an overdose can cause
respiratory failure and death.
Benzodiazepines are metabolised slowly.
She died with them in her system.
She took her own life?
She died of asphyxiation.
I think there was
third-party involvement.
Why?
The swabs from the nape of her neck,
underneath her chin,
palms of her hands and face
all showed they'd been exposed to
a 3% to 6% sodium hypochlorite,
and small amounts of sodium
hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide
and calcium hypochlorite.
- Bleach.
- Yeah.
Trying to destroy evidence?
Drain cleaner.
Bleach.
Old people.
Detective Inspector John Flynn calling.
I'm just calling to see if
a pension is still being paid
to an Edith Bausch.
No. Before you ask,
no, I don't have her National
Insurance number, no.
Well, how many people
are called Edith Bausch?
Bausch.
B
No, Bausch. B-A-U
We're delighted
to have you with us, Kit.
Morning!
Dr Alexander,
can I introduce Kit Brooks?
- So nice to meet you, Dr?
- Nikki.
- Dr Nikki.
- Just Nikki.
Just checking!
- I love the shirt.
- Oh, thanks.
And the hair. Beautiful hair.
That's kind.
Can I be you?
LAUGHTER
Hi. Jack Hodgson.
Hi. Kit.
Good to meet you in person.
They made you in extra large!
Ha.
I heard you're a couple.
Oh.
- Is it true?
- Yes.
Are you sure I can't be you?
Where do you want me?
Well, let's move on, then, get started.
Identification
of the couple in the woods?
That'd be great.
- The bloke had Lyme disease?
- Yes.
I'm on it.
DI FLYNN: Apparently,
you hold a bank account in her name
and you receive her pension benefit.
Yes, I can see that's correct.
There's been a withdrawal recently.
Has there been any other
activity in that account, then?

Thin black plastic.
I found it in the mouth
of the woman in the woods.
Hope I'm not disturbing you.
Don't be silly. I'm waiting
on Public Health England.
Number two in the queue.
Where in her mouth?
Lower right between 27 and 28.
- How thin?
- 75 microns.
- You are number one
- Oh, first in the queue!
Is it woven from fibres?
Can I have look? I love fibres.
I think it's a dying art.

- It won't matter.
ASSISTANT:
Everything's going to be fine.
Nice and calm.
GLORIA: Everything's right
with the world.
Gloria! You're here!
I'm here.
You've nothing to worry about.
Oh!
WORKMAN: There are too many old people.
ASSISTANT: How much money
do we spend keeping you alive?
WORKMAN: You've
buggered our future, old man.
ASSISTANT: All the money's gone.
Why are you in my house?
WORKMAN: There are no houses left,
you greedy bastard.
Who are you?
MAN: You stole my wife.
You had gone.
I was still alive!
You aren't a person any more, Charles.
You weren't a person any more.
You weren't.
ASSISTANT: He's gone.
Conscious but compliant.
A day in the life at Cherry Hill.
We keep him like this and
take him for a drive tonight.
How long does it last?
We'll have to top him up.
OVERLAPPING VOICES:
Would you like a cup of tea?
Oh.
Yes, please. No sugar.
- No more sugar for you.
- You had all the sugar.
BENJAMIN: No sugar.
MEN LAUGH
Yeah, one old man
living in this big house.
There's a housing crisis,
in't there? Eh?
People have nowhere to live.
I hoped Covid was gonna sort this.
No Sit down.
That's it. That's it.
HE SIGHS
GLORIA: Have a cup of tea.
Oh, here we go.
- DI Flynn.
- Hi.
- Jack Hodgson.
- Hi.
- Would you like to follow me?
- Yeah.
Her pension money comes in
as normal from the DWP,
then sweeps into another account.
To which bank?
I'll just check the sort code.
It's an online bank.
Who's named on the account?
I don't have that information.
Who's named on the account you hold?
- Signatories?
- Hmm.
Edith Bausch, of course.
And
..Oscar Zoroaster Diggs, her grandson.
DI FLYNN: Do you have
a home address for that?
Yeah.
Oscar
..Diggs.
Cherry Hill Care Home.
What was the home address before that?
KNOCK ON DOOR
VEHICLE APPROACHES
I know you.
Ah! We met at Cherry Hill!
- Hello Blessing.
- Good to see you again.
And you.
Come in. Come in!
How can I help you?
We're looking for Edith Bausch's house.
She had a house?
Yeah, apparently.
How's that going for you?
We've found it.
I don't know anything about this.
I've lived here three years.
I pay my bills.
How did you find the property?
Online.
There was an online listing
on the notice board at work.
There's a few of them,
ones that colleagues recommend.
Have you met your landlord?
Who did you rent the property from?
Here.
Here's my agreement.
It's with NXG Properties.
I pay by direct debit.
Sorry.
- Anything?
- Yeah.
Grandson's name
is Oscar Diggs. It's a lead.
Kit?
The map indicates men over
70 years old with Lyme disease
in a radius of 100 miles
from the point where
the deceased was found.
I've done a prioritisation matrix.
Right. Let's get started.
Jack Hodgson. Yeah. Working
That's very kind. No. No
Hello.
RIVER TRICKLING
BIRD CALLS
BENJAMIN: It's a beautiful
night for a walk, Gloria.
I love these walks.
Especially at night.
Especially with you.
GLORIA CHUCKLES
The silence.
The forbidding darkness.
You know, there are some people who
are frightened of forests.
I never understood that.
I think it's the unknown
calling to us.
BIRD CALLS
I'll always love you, Gloria,
no matter what.
I know it's difficult.
I know you feel you have
to take care of Charles.
You don't want to humiliate him.
And now he's at home.
I'll only come and see you
when you say.
If you need help
..financially, hmm
..you know I will.
Thank you.
CRIES OU
ASSISTANT: What have you done?
Crazy bastard! He tried to kiss me!
He's unconscious.
Now we can't move him.
So? Leave him here.
- Someone will find him.
- So what?
So he can identify us, can't he?
Not if he's dead.
- You gonna help me, then?
- No, I ain't touching him.
It's all on you, pal.
KIT: There's only one
we haven't been able to eliminate.
Charles Mead. Lives with Gloria Mead.
Still on the electoral roll,
but his phone's been disconnected.
Maybe he only has a mobile.
You said he was old. Old people tend
to keep their landline.
How do you know that?
Cos I kept mine.
You're not old.
She's a good hire!
I've checked for
a death notice. Nothing.
Do you have an address
for Charles and Gloria Mead?
Yep.
Thanks.
Oh, I need you to follow
a money trail for me.
- Do you have a name?
- Oscar Diggs.
I'm on it.
BIRDSONG
Do you mind if we come in for a sec?
- Yes, come in.
- Thank you.
We're actually looking
for a Charles Mead.
I don't know him. He doesn't live here.
My wife and I live here.
This is Lauren.
Police.
Hi, Lauren.
- Hi.
- Congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
- Excited?
- Course.
Bit scared. That's normal, I guess.
So, how long have you lived here, then?
- Not long.
- About a week, I guess.
Just getting settled.
I showed the rental agreement
to the local policewoman
that stopped in.
Is this about the crazy old man?
Crazy old man?
Yeah. Stalking us. I reported
it to the local nick.
He won't leave us alone.
Says he is waiting for his friend
Gloria to come home.
I think he's lost his mind.
I feel sorry for him.
Yeah, Gary What? No.
Gary Baxter reported him, yeah?
I'm gonna need an address.
Follow me, yeah?
Wow. Chivalry is not dead. Thanks!
Brrr!
Do you want kids?
What?
Do you want kids?
I saw the way you looked
at the pregnant woman.
What way did I look at her?
I've got to put a name on it?
If you're going to bring it up, yeah.
OK. Covetous.
That's a ten-pound word for you.
I call deflection.

this is the right time
to talk about it?

PC: I've been trying
to help him get some support.
He wanted me to file
a missing person's report.
God, what was it?
Now my dementia's kicking in!
Erm Gloria Mead.
Hello.
Is Benjamin available, please?
No. I'm afraid he's not here.
When do you think he'll be back?
I think he's he's moved
elsewhere, to be honest.
Um, assisted living.
Something like that.
I've just been asked
to come and give it a clean,
get it ready for rental.
Do you mind if we come in?
Not at all.
Upholstery's a bit damp.
Thanks, mate.
Well, he certainly left
a lot of his private belongings
behind, didn't he?
Yeah. I don't know what
I'm supposed to do about that.
Pack 'em up, I guess.
How can we find Mr Dawson?
Dunno. Wish I could help.
Who's hired you?
I work for myself.
I'm helping a mate of mine.
He's got a property company.
I don't know, I think
they got hired by the council.
I can get him to call you
if you like. His name's Bobby.
That'd be helpful. Thank you.
No worries.
Thanks.
What did you say your name was, mate?
Matthew Harris.
Matthew Harris. Thanks.
I put in a call to adult
social care at the council.
They must have sorted it.
That quick? Write them a good review.
I'll try and find out
where the council officers
- have placed him.
- Yeah. Do that.
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
JACK: All right?
What's wrong?
I'm clearly rubbish.
OK.
I am willing to be talked out of it.
- What?
- That I'm rubbish.
Oh! You need a pep talk.
Yeah. That would be good.
- I think you're fabulous.
- Thank you.
I mean, you are possibly the greatest
crime analyst in the world ever.
KIT LAUGHS
That's kind of you.
- Feel better?
- Much.
Good.
What did you bugger up?
I couldn't follow the money.
She pays into the NXG
Properties account online.
JACK: Mm-hm.
It sweeps from one online
bank account to another
and then into prepaid
credit cards and disappears.
- Hmm. The grandson?
- Oscar Diggs?
Nothing.
There was another name
- Not Oscar?
- Oscar Oscar
- Zoro?
- Zoro?
No, Oscar
Zoro-aster?
Zo-roaster Diggs?
KIT: The Wizard of Oz!
- A pseudonym.
- Ya think?
The money disappears
like he's some kind of wizard.

I think she's had an idea.
What was the name
of Edith Bausch's care home?
Cherry Hill.
In Charles Mead's NHS records,
there is a preference
for where he wanted
his prescriptions sent.
What am I looking at?
For nearly three years,
he received his prescriptions
at Cherry Hill Care Home.

It's Matthew Harris.
There's no attempt

rely on in court.

may be given in evidence.
Do you understand?
Go on, then.
Prove it.
