Silent Witness

It looks like an opiate patch. Maybe someone fed it to this guy.

Was it you? Did you kill him?

I've just had the police on the phone.

Why would they want to come here if it's not suspicious?

Mr Robson died in his sleep.

Your sister was here. What the hell does she want?

You think he was murdered?

That student's back in reception again.

You know, the good-looking one.

What? Ollie?

They're post-grads, right?

Been looking at a few places for my dad.

It's like looking for a plot in a cemetery.

Many people live in care homes happily.

"I know who killed Robbo." Who sent you this?

Must be someone from the care home.

We've got to get the residents out of the lodge.

I wanted to invite you to our Halloween party.

"I think they're going to kill again." Drive.

I would urge people to stay where they are.

Next question. Are you single?

Water levels are still rising...

Flood defences to the west have been breached.

People in the affected area are being advised not to travel...

A large volume of water is heading our way

and will almost certainly have a devastating impact.

..and, if possible, to move furniture

and treasured possessions upstairs.

We could be trapped out here for days.

Jack!

# When they turn up the lights And the dark, lonely nights...

Come on, Jack. I don't know the words.

It doesn't matter. Just come make a noise.

# Nevermore, we'll be apart

# Always together... #

Hello? Hello, it's Conor.

Are you with Jack?

No. Isn't he home with you?

No, no. I think he's out in the storm. It doesn't look good.

If you speak to him, will you get him to call me?

Yes, of course.

I'm not going anywhere. Is that clear?

Just, please...

# Always together... #

Derek!

Derek?

It's all right. I'm fine.

Flooding along the Thames corridor is being described

as the worst since 2014,

with hundreds of properties and families affected.

Water levels are still rising.

Hi there. You've reached Jack Hodgson.

If you leave me a message, I'll get back to you.

Hi, Jack, it's me.

I'm just wondering if you're OK and where you are.

Your dad's just phoned. He's worried about you.

I'm worried about you.

I hope you're all right.

Can you call as soon as you get...?

Are you coming back to bed? Yeah.

Where's Derek's medication?

It's in the Lodge.

What was he taking? Gabapentin.

It's for... It's for neuropathic pain.

Can he get something else?

Hi. It's Nikki. Hi, Nikki.

Are you at the care home? No. I couldn't get there.

We tried to join them, but we couldn't get through.

And it's not just the flood waters.

I mean, it's fallen trees, mud slides.

We're not even sure if the road to the care home's there any more.

We're probably only about a mile away.

We've set up base at the Nightingale sports centre.

Have you spoken to either Jack or Simone?

No, we tried. But the storm's taken out all the phone masts.

I really hope they're OK.

Does the name Janice Pitram mean anything to you?

Janice Pitram? No, why?

She was a care home worker in Scotland.

Her boyfriend brutally murdered his elderly parents.

She was convicted for aiding and abetting.

What about her?

Well, when she got out of prison,

she changed her name to Amrita Naidu.

And she's now working at the care home?

Yeah, which she shouldn't be, given her history of violence.

DS Galloway... Look. I've got to go.

I'll let you know if we hear anything from Jack or Simone.

What happens if Derek doesn't take his medication?

He will be in very great pain. I can't watch people like that.

Do you reckon that I should make preparations?

How do you mean? I can... I can get morphine.

What are you suggesting? Just for when things get...

Just for when he... Just if the worst comes to the worst...

This is a care home!

How do we care for Derek when he's in such pain? Hm?

Are you mad? I just... I just... I just want to help.

Do you want to go back to prison? And me with you? Hm?

Now, please make sure that the house residents stay in their rooms.

And you, whatever you're planning... I'm not planning anything.

..just leave Amrita out of it.

You know those text messages I got sent?

Well, whoever killed Robbo is here.

Derek has gone walkabout again. What?

Derek?

Derek?

Pray to God...

..you never have to experience pain like this.

Can you walk?

Oh, God.

Come on, Derek. Look, everyone's really worried about you. Come on.

You did it to Robbo. You can do it to me.

No, no. Mr Robson, he passed away of natural causes.

If that were the case,

why are they here?

All right?

You all right? The battery's going.

There's no power to recharge it. Are there any more batteries?

In the Lodge.

Hang on.

Keep an eye on them. Yeah. OK.

Damn it!

That... That... That isn't the battery...

I thought we needed a challenge.

I-I-I'm going to get you something dry.

It's OK...

There you go.

You can't do that all night.

Do we have a choice?

..continues to grow. A government spokesman has said

more than £2 billion has been spent on flood defences.

But when a once-in-a-generation storm like this occurs,

there's very little that can be done.

Emergency services and the army are attempting to evacuate those

in the most urgent need, but they are...

You say nothing, OK, to Mrs Thorpe?

What is it?

Morphine.

For pain relief?

I hope it doesn't come to that.

I looked for Derek's medication, but it was all flooded.

The drugs cupboard must have been left open.

It could have been the flood water.

I'm going to get the blame for that.

What, even for the flood?

Yeah. You name it.

Amrita, you're doing your best, all right?

Amrita, just one thing.

Kate said Robbo left some money for you in his will. I...

I didn't ask for it, OK? I...

I'm just as surprised as anyone else.

I'm not accusing you, Amrita...

OK, it's not my fault that Mr Robson is dead.

OK? It's not...

It's not my...

What was that? I was just asking...

You need to understand that my staff has been under

extraordinary pressure these past two years.

I can only imagine.

I don't know how Robbo got hold of a fentanyl patch.

What about Dr Young? Could he have given him the patch?

We don't have a stock of fentanyl.

I thought you said fentanyl wasn't the cause of death?

Are you saying that Robbo was murdered?

I'm here to see DS Galloway.

Simone was sent a text message by someone

saying they knew who killed Mr Robson.

We rang the number, but...

Robbo's son, Michael,

tried to stop them using Robbo's body for medical training.

Do you know why?

I tried to talk to Michael, but he's a very angry man.

He's angry with his father, his mother, his sister, you name it.

Did Mr Robson ever complain about how his son was treating him?

You mean physically? Mm.

They argued a lot - mainly family things, you know?

Because the new defences breached,

this whole area is now completely flooded...

There must be a way that we can get through to the care home.

We'd send up a helicopter, but there's no chance in this weather.

The whole network's down and there's no physical way of reaching them.

Not at the moment, at least.

Mr Robson?

Mr Robson, do you live near here?

Yeah, I've just been helping out some of the locals get to safety

in my tractor.

Can you help us?

Do you know of any way that we could reach the care home?

This is Michael Robson. He might be able to help us.

There's an unmarked track through this top field here,

in between my farm and Watercress Lane, but...

Could you get us there?

No civilians are going anywhere until this storm is over

and this water has receded.

Are you lonely, Jack?

No-one special in your life at the moment?
