"Wire In The Blood" "4x04" " Wounded Surgeon" "Come on, Tony." "You can trust me." "Trust me." "Just one more step." "You have one message." "Please wait." "Message for Tony Hill from Karen, Karen Berman." "The 20th reunion bash is only three days away now." "Clock's ticking." "Tick-tock." "Eglee." "Eglee." "All we're asking is let ..." "Tracey ... come ... come back to us." "Please?" "She's our whole world." "Soon after her parents' appealed," "Tracey Bradshaw was discovered barely alive." "Police continue to question the man they believe responsible for this savage attack." "I did it, Dr. Hill." "I stripped her, and I wrote on her, and I raped her." "And when I raped her I said, "Do you see me now?" "Do you?" "Do ya?"" "I'm very sorry." "Dr. Hill, this parole board is convened to consider Mr. Eglee's suitability for readmission to society." "Do you wish to question Mr. Eglee?" "Yes ..." "Mr. Eglee, do you think Tracey Bradshaw is dead or alive?" "It'd be easier for me if she were dead." "That way I could make my peace with her." "But with her on life support, it's like I hurt her all over again ... every new day." " Really does my head in." " Mm-hmm." "And what about Tracey's family?" "Does that do your head in as well?" "I know I didn't just hurt Tracey ... but everyone who loved her." "It's like I've, um ... like I've torn, you know, the ... the fabric of their lives." " I'm trying to make amends." " How?" "I write to Tracey's mum." "It was Dr. Ozick's idea." "To try to reach out." "Help her to get some closure." "And was she pleased to hear from you?" "She said, um ... she said she hoped I'd burn in hell." "But I kept trying." "I said I'd never forgive myself for what I did to Tracey." "Never." "And does that make you feel better?" "Worse." "I really know what I did." "Like Tracey ..." "my crime is alive." "For myself, I believe he has become a reasonable and considerate young man." "He's passed two A-levels." "He's taking a psychology degree online." "Another psychologist " " God help us all." "I've had many sessions with Jason over the past four years." "And I think he's achieved a degree of self-knowledge that would be surprising, even in someone without his troubled past." "Mm-hmm, all that stuff about the victim's family." "Look at this." "Here." ""The offender has to realize that his or her crime not only damages the victim but also the victim's family and friends."" "Now, come on!" ""Violent crime tears at the very fabric of community."" "It's there." "It's in the textbook." "Because a person reads something in a book, Dr. Hill, doesn't mean he can't feel it or believe it." "Okay, you wanted my expert opinion, here it is." "In 1996, Jason Eglee thoughtfully planned his brutal crime." "And in 2006, Jason Eglee thoughtfully planned his Parole Board." "I don't believe him." "Goodbye." "You know the Parole Board reversed their decision and released Eglee?" "'Cause of his mother's death, yeah." "Look, this is a joke, Alex." "I looked into his eyes and I saw the same potential killer" "I put away ten years ago." "Might be an idea to stay away from Eglee and his family for a while, eh?" "Absolutely." "Of course." "We have but a short time to live." "Like a flower, we blossom and then wither." "Like a shadow, we flee and never stay ..." "In the midst of life, we are in death." "To whom can we turn for help but you, Lord?" "You were justly angered by our sins." "Yet, Lord, God, most holy." "Lord, most mighty." "Oh, holy, and merciful Savior." "Deliver us ..." "Lord, you know the secrets of our hearts." "Hear our prayers." "Dr. Hill?" "It was good of you to come." "You were just doing your job for the Parole Board." " Even Jason understands that." " Oh, that was big of him." "Yes, I've spent a lot of time with him since he got out." "How can he afford you?" "I don't charge for my prison work." "Ah, is there no end to your goodness?" "I wanted to ask you something, Dr. Hill." "The 1996 crime, Tracey Bradshaw -- you're convinced Jason Eglee did it?" "He was convicted, wasn't he?" "People have been known to go to prison for crimes they didn't commit." "Oh, believe you me," "Jason raped and killed -- well, as good as killed" "Tracey Bradshaw." "Well, spit it out." "When Jason is in analysis, describing that event, it's almost as if I can detect another personality, a dominant personality speaking through him." " What, like an evil demon?" " No ... like a psychologist." "I did what I could, Tracey." "I'm sorry." "See that hole?" "Now, what do you think lives there?" "Oh, look, it's a bra." "Any ID?" "No." "No handbag, purse." "Nothing except these and the tights." "Scouts messed up the footprints." "Baden-Powell should have taught the little sods some crime scene decorum." "Cause of death?" "Haven't had a chance to have a proper look yet." "Give me a guess, please?" "Strangled with her own tights, which were then pulled over her head." " Nice." " We might have an ID" " girl called Linda Westhead didn't come home last night." "Parents just reported her missing." "Description matches our body all the way to the diamond studs in her ears." "Do the parents know where Linda went?" "Out with friends." "Pulse nightclub." "All right, contact the parents, arrange a formal ID, and start interviewing her friends." "Don't tell me – CCTV cameras caught the whole thing?" " I can go home." " Do you want to go home?" "I've got a bad feeling, Alex." "Cameras at the carpark in the rear entrance weren't working." "We're checking to see why and when they stopped." "Eye witnesses?" "Not so far." "We're interviewing." "You know who did this, don't you?" "The victim type, kidnap location, method of kidnap, the ... the transport." "Where the body was dumped." "It's all similar." " So, this is Eglee?" " That is my bad feeling." "You really think he'd be stupid enough to re-offend three weeks after he gets out of prison?" "You see anything stupid about this crime scene, Alex?" "Eyewitnesses, CCTV." "Eglee -- he used to work for a security firm, remember?" "He'd be annoyed about that heel." "We never found Tracey Bradshaw's clothes, purse, anything." "All gone." "We found Linda's underwear, Tony." "That was luck, Alex." "All right, what about traces on the body?" "Prints, hair, fiber, semen, saliva, eh?" "Not as yet, but the autopsy hasn't been done." "Waste of time, Alex." "Come on, this man, he is fastidious!" "I bet he even washes his penis in bleach." "Thanks for that image." "But that also means that we've got no evidence to connect Eglee to the crime." "Eglee wrote on Tracey Bradshaw's body." "There was nothing on Linda's." "Except that this is his crime." "Alex Fielding?" "That was Vernon." "He did write on the body." "He parted her hair and wrote on her scalp." "And between her buttocks -- "bitch, whore."" " Lipstick?" " Sharpened to a point." "Coral pink." "We'll arrest Eglee and I'll get a warrant for his flat." "Bradfield CID." "I'm looking for Jason Eglee." "Is Dr. Hill watching?" " Why?" "Should he be?" " I only want to talk to him." " Why is that?" " Because I trust him." " Hello, Dr. Hill." " Mm-hmm." "I, uh, I heard about the girl on the radio." " Is this about her?" " Oh, yes." "Can I, uh ..." "have a look?" "Just my type." "But you know that." "Do I?" " Where was she kidnapped?" " Where do you think?" "Uh, a club maybe." "A disco." " Somewhere dark." " That's very good." "Reverse psychology, mm-hmm." "I assume she was raped?" "And was her lovely, young body brutalized at the discotheque or somewhere else?" " You tell me." "Have you got a girlfriend yet, Dr. Hill?" "No." "Still searching for love, eh?" "When was the last time you got your leg over?" "Can't remember." "You and me both." "Anyway ... this, uh, girl." "She wasn't raped at the club, so, obviously the villain needs some kind of transport." "Unfortunately, I don't, um ..." "I do." "The charity shop has a van." "It's a very good van ..." "for transporting bodies." "Where were you last night, Jason?" "I was in a very dark place, Tony." " You know the sort of place I mean." " No." "Oh, I think you do." "You took me there." "Paula's taking a SOCO team to look at the charity shop van." " What's he playing at, Tony?" " I don't know " "Oh, and just for the record, I haven't got a girlfriend is because I haven't found the right one." "It's not because I'm weird or anything." "I've had plenty of offers, believe me." " Didn't cross my mind." " Not for a second?" "Kevin?" "A guy called Gordon Ozick just phoned, says he's Eglee's shrink and that he was with Eglee last night." "When?" "The same time that Linda Westhead was being abducted and murdered." " So, why didn't he mention it then?" " Because he's playing games." "Jason called me at 8:30 last night." "Said he was going crazy." "I went to see him at his flat." "What, in the middle of the night?" "I arrived about 9:00." "Left about 2:00." "What, five hours?" "Well, that's dedication." "I feel a certain responsibility towards Jason." "I feel my profession has let him down." " Still, five hours?" " I don't believe in putting a clock on therapy sessions." "And Jason is a severely wounded soul." "Ten years in prison can leave some scars." "Did anyone see you go in or leave?" "I don't know." "But I know I was with Jason Eglee last night." "And I will say the same on the witness stand." "My work with prisoners and ex-prisoners is unrecompensed." "But in Jason's case, at least some of my time will be repaid when my book is published." "What's it about?" "What a dangerous weapon psychology can be ... in the wrong hands." "Oh, well, Jason Eglee's in this book?" "He is the book." "Jason's a diamond in the rough." "Last night's installment." "Three hours worth." "Can we listen?" "I'd have to ask Jason first." "It is a therapy session." " Yet, it's going in the book?" " Appropriately interpreted." "And disguised." "He's man enough to want other people to learn from his suffering." "I was with Jason last night." "He could not have murdered anyone." "I'd just like to ask you a couple of questions about your next-door neighbor." "Has anything strange happened in the last week?" "Ozick came here?" "Nothing, guv." "The guy lives like a monk." " What about the cassettes?" " Blank." "Your shrink friend's alibi covers the time that Linda was kidnapped." "He's not my friend." "He is a prating, hypnotizing charlatan." "Seemed reasonable to me." "Don't you think it's just a little odd that Eglee chose a shrink to be his alibi?" "I don't think he chose to, I think he just was." "No, there's more to it, Alex." "What, you're saying that he planned all of this?" "And masterminded it all just to get at you?" "Exactly, yeah." "We're releasing Jason Eglee." "I want a 48-hour watch put on him." "Track his movements at this charity shop that he's working at." "Kevin, set that up." "Paula, background Eglee -- look at his friends, family, cellmates, pen pals, that were released prior to him." "Especially sex offenders, rapists, and other charming sort." "These are Tracey Bradshaw's case files sent over from Yorkshire CID." "We need to go through them." "Crosscheck them with Linda Westhead." "See if there's any connections that we've overlooked." "Yeah, aren't we overlooking a big difference between Tracey and Linda, boss?" " I mean, Tracey survived." " Yeah, but he meant to kill her." "She just got lucky." "Well, unlucky." "Well, how do you know he meant to kill her?" "Because he told me he enjoyed watching her die." "As clear a serial killer as I have ever seen." "Clear from victim number one, clear from victim number two." "And now he is out there looking for victim number three." "Anyway, for now, Eglee's our starting point." "We all know what we've got to do." "And what do you want me to do?" "Until we've got someone or something, there's not a lot." "I'd like another go at Eglee." "I got him to talk last time." " Is that my '96 interview with him?" " Yeah." "He was my first big police case " " Eglee." "Yeah, he was my first confession." "I think I should talk to him." "I think you should stay away from him." "We don't want another misstep." "Let's have a big cheer for Becky Cunningham!" "Becky's modeling a Dorothy Perkins mini-skirt, circa early '80s." "And a Marks  Spencer blouse, circa God-knows-when." "The whole outfit's yours for only five quid." "This one -- check out Lindsay Sherwood." "Our own '80s rock shirt." "Wow, what can I say?" "Dr. Hill, hello." "I'm Jessica Piper." "I'm a journalist." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I'm just wondering if I should call the Parole Board." "If this isn't a violation of Eglee's parole to be surrounded by, well, half-naked 16-year-old girls, well, it should be." " You seem to be enjoying them." " I'm not a convicted rapist." "No, you're a psychologist." "And what are you doing here, Miss Piper?" "I'm interviewing Jason again." "Again?" "Yes." "I'm working out what makes him tick." "Oh, well, that's easy -- lust and hate." "Can I quote you on that?" "After all, you were his shrink." "Rosie-Anne will flash for us in her '70s style ..." " Take care." " Okay, good night." " Good night." " Bye." " See you later." " Bye!" "You coming?" "This is a bit creepy." "Why can't I go with you ..." "Get off her, Jason!" "What?" "Get off me!" "No, no, no, I'm not going to hurt you." " You're hurting me!" " Please, listen to me." " You're hurting me!" " I work for the police." " You mustn't go with this man!" " What?" "!" " What, do you know this guy?" " Yeah, he's my cousin!" "He hasn't done anything to anybody, so why don't you just piss off?" " Is everything all right here?" " This creep just attacked us." "Uh, it was a misunderstanding." "That's all." "I think Dr. Hill was just worried for you, that's all." "No harm done, eh, Jason?" "No ..." "I'll just add it to the list." "Come on." "He was forcing her into the van." "How was I to know she was his ... what's the van doing here anyway?" " I thought the SOCOs were looking at it." " Yeah, they already have." "It's clean." " How come you showed up?" " DI Fielding told us to keep a watch on Eglee, remember?" "Look, don't tell Alex I was here." "Kevin, do not tell Alex." "Alex, you called?" "Going after Eglee like that -- not smart." " Kevin -- what, he grassed me out?" " No, it was a journalist." "Jessica Piper." "Wanted to know if we were going after Eglee for the Linda Westhead murder." "Which we are." "With less and less cause, Tony." "We've interviewed every person that was at the nightclub." "We've reviewed all the tapes and the forensics." "In addition to a cast-iron alibi, there is no trace of Eglee at the nightclub, on the cameras, on Linda's body, in the van -- there is no trace." "I've got it – he wears tights." "Wearing stockings over his head." "I mean, it makes him look more terrifying." "Right, but it also means he doesn't leave any trace evidence on the victim's body." "I bet he shaves himself." "Oh, yes, chest hair, pubic hair, everything." "You get Eglee in here and ask him to take his trousers down." "Yeah, I know that won't happen, but" "Alex, you underestimate this guy at your peril." "And this, this mask thing?" "This is the final "screw you."" "Tony ... you're exhausted." "Look at you." "Why don't you take time off?" "Get away somewhere?" "When was the last time you had a holiday?" "1994." "Lisbon." "It was a disaster." "Her name was, uh, what was her name again?" "It was Jane." "Yeah, plain Jane." "Except she wasn't -- plain, that is." "What are you not telling me, Alex?" "Paula's got a journalist contact." "Says that the Bradfield Chronicle's going to do a big article about you and Jason Eglee." "What, written by this Jessica Piper?" "What's it say?" "Well, all that the contact would say was that it was about the '96 Tracey Bradshaw case, about Eglee's confession." " What about it?" " Don't know." " Do you have any concerns?" " No." "Take a break, Tony." "Get away somewhere." "Trust me." "Just one more step." ""Jason claims he spent more than 24 hours in interview sessions with Dr. Hill." "By the end, Eglee say he hardly knew what time it was, what day it was." "He hardly knew his own name."" "Yes, sir, it gets worse." "You have to believe that Jason Eglee is an incredibly clever criminal." "Or recognize that he is the victim of a horrendous miscarriage of justice." "And what's your recommendation?" "The Tracey Bradshaw case should be reopened so that an innocent man's name can be cleared." "Come on, Jason, you've got to trust me." "I know what it's like." "I saw Tracey on TV." "Cutesy little video her parents showed." ""Oh, bring our little girl back!"" "She's not a little girl." "She's a tease." "She knows what she's got and she knows we want it." "But me and you -- we don't get close." "So, we've got to plan, we've got to be clever." "And that's what me and you have got over on them." "We can imagine and then we can prepare." "Women, they're attracted by power." "That's what you have got." "You have got power." "What we can only think about, what we wouldn't dare." "But you dared, Jason." "You dared eat the peach." "It's women -- they secretly fantasize about it." "You, you just reasserted the natural order of things." "What do you mean?" "DI Fielding." "Good morning, Dr. Hill." "Dr. Hill, have you seen the Chronicle?" "Is it true you spoke against Eglee getting parole, Dr. Hill?" "What's happening, Dr. Hill?" "Did you force him to sign a false confession?" "Well, we've looked at the Bradshaw Police files." "It looks like Yorkshire CID did a good job." "An eye witness put Eglee's van near the scene of the kidnap." "The security company that Eglee worked for serviced cameras in the club a week before Tracey was snatched." "And there's a bloodstain on her clothing that matched Eglee's blood group." "Yeah, but Yorkshire never followed through with the DNA because by then," "Dr. Hill had got a full confession out of Eglee." "So, we should do the DNA test now." "Well, we need a sample, but he's unlikely to give it up easily." "Can I ask why Mr. Ozick's here?" "Dr. Ozick's here because I want a witness, if that's okay." "You might be better with a lawyer." "Why?" "You plan to stitch me up, too?" "No, but we would like a DNA sample." "We'd like to sort this out once and for all." "Jason, I don't think this is a good idea." "If Mr. Eglee didn't attack Tracey Bradshaw, his DNA will prove that." "Jason's past experience with police hardly inclines him to trust you." " Maybe we should get a lawyer." " Now, I assure you, we want to learn the truth just as much as you do." "I already know the truth." "Well, let's say there's been a mistake." "A mistake?" "Look, the courts need new evidence so they can overturn the conviction." "If you want, you can choose an independent lab to do the test." "But if you don't agree to give us a sample, then when questioned, we'll tell the press that we agreed to reopen the Tracey Bradshaw case and you were unable to cooperate." " That's blackmail!" "I didn't do it!" "I swear to you!" "That's not enough." "Okay then." "Jason!" "Is that ... is that enough for you, eh?" "Is that enough?" "!" "You're reopening the Tracey Bradshaw case?" "No choice." "What, because Eglee went and screamed to the press?" "Well, on that basis, Alex, you could reopen every case you've ever investigated." "He gave a DNA sample, so either he's very innocent or very stupid." "But he confessed to the crime." "He told me every last thing." "Did he?" "You don't want her to mock you." "You don't want her to scratch you so you tie her hands behind her back." "You make her more helpless." "More in pain." "Oh, especially when she feels your weight." "Especially when she knows what's going to come." "Well, jeez, she already knew what was going to come because you left your mark on her." "You told her what she was -- she was a bitch ..." "Whore!" "Yes, he confessed." "But?" "What?" "You watch these tapes ... it looks like you told him everything, and he just repeated it back to you." "I'm just telling you how it looks." "Like I said, Tony, take a break." "Feel at all vindicated by it?" "A headline won't bring back ten years." "No." "I'd like to write more about you, what you've been through." "I'd like to tell people who you really are." "The police came round." "Asked for a DNA sample." "And I gave it to them." " DNA will prove you innocent." " Will it?" "You see, I don't know." "I don't know who I am." "I've no bloody idea." "I want to know how much a psychologist can influence a patient." "Depends on the patient." "Assume he's not bright, or educated, and he's under pressure." "You mean ..." "he's in a police station?" "Maybe." "I've seen people in those situations be unmovable from their version of truth or lies, and then other people who can be led to say and believe anything." " How?" " Dr. Hill probably told you." "I use hypnosis." "In hypnosis, there's a thing called the Stanford Suggestibility Scale." "From 1 -- most suggestible, to 10 -- the absolutely unsuggestible." "Where does Jason Eglee come on the scale?" "One -- in other words, easy meat." "Jason said you could listen to it." "From the night you were with him?" "It's ... not easy listening." "Was I wrong?" "This is Tony Hill." "I'm not here right now, but please leave a message." "Final call for Tony Hill." "His college reunion starts boarding in three hours." "If he doesn't turn up, his emotional baggage will be removed from the memory of his friends and auctioned off at the flight attendant's ball." "How do I find her?" "How do I pick her out from all the thousands?" "What gets my juices going?" "Is it her clothes?" "Her face?" "Or just something ..." "something in the way she moves." "This is the thing." "I don't choose her." "She chooses me." "I can feel it pulsing from her." "All that undifferentiated lust, like two force fields colliding." "She's going to discover me." "And I'm going to make my mark." "Get off!" "I said off!" "I don't want to go in your poxy club anyway, you fat git!" "And that's how it is." "Every night, I wade through this fog of desire thinking bad thoughts." "Thinking bad thoughts?" "Do you ever want to act on them?" "Oh, yeah." "Why didn't you?" "I'm scared." "I'm scared of not being able to do what I want to the slut when she's lying there." "Tony Hill bloody eunuched me." "Tony Hill, are you trying to escape?" " It's Karen Berman." " Karen Berman." "Well ... now, I've got you this far." "Don't think I'm letting you get away now." "How long has it been?" "Twenty years?" "More?" "Probably more." "Do you remember what the last thing you said to me was?" ""I haven't got time for a steady girlfriend."" "You broke my heart." "I'm sorry." "I was very young." "I was joking, you idiot." "The only thing I was sad about was the sex." "Really?" " Was it that bad?" " No." "That good." "Fancy a drink?" " Did you listen to it all?" " Enough." "You know, if the Parole Board had heard that, they'd never have let him out." "But don't you understand?" "This isn't Eglee." "It's someone else." "Eglee's not an educated man." "This language is sophisticated, figurative." "So he went to prison and got himself an education ...the raw material is still Eglee." "But is it?" "I regressed Eglee under hypnosis." "Deep regression, back to childhood." "I found nothing there." "He's deeply, boringly normal." "Then out of nowhere come these elaborate, sadistic fantasies and this ghastly crime." "So what about his confession?" "The details, imaginings -- they're from, from whom?" "It's called iatrogenic implantation." "A scared, simple, suggestible youth, a powerful psychologist." "It's no contest." "And the psychologist is Dr. Hill?" "I'm sure he didn't do it deliberately or with malice." "It just happened." "Can I hold onto this?" "Thanks." "DI Fielding." "Okay, thanks, for letting me know." "Sorry." " I got stuck with that lech, Miles Shiner." " Who?" "Miles Shiner?" "I thought he was a Jesuit." "How did you even find me, I mean," "I've never been one for ... nostalgia." "I stalked you." "I've been working in the area a few months." "I run an interior design business." "And well, you've been in the papers rather a lot lately." "Oh, God." "It seems incredibly unfair, the things they're saying, implying." "I've been watching your career ever since Tracey Bradshaw." "All the brilliant things you've done, risks you've taken, how you've suffered." "I've been meaning to write, to phone for years." "Just to say ..." "well, of all of us, you've done the best." "Been the best." " Oh, don't be embarrassed." " I am embarrassed." " Come on, come and dance." " No." " Come on." " Absolutely not." "It'll hide your blushes." " Uh, excuse me?" " Uh, just a second." "Alex, it's me." " Could I have my paper?" " Look, this is police business." "Eglee, the DNA." "Is it true?" "Yes, it's true." "Can you come in?" "Are you finished?" "Yes." "Well, professionally anyway, yeah." ""Steps are underway for his conviction to be overturned and for Eglee to be granted a full pardon."" "Lawyers are probably crawling all over him already advising him to file suit for wrongful arrest and imprisonment." "Well, at least it was Yorkshire CID." "Who cocked up, eh, not you." "Under the circumstances, Tony," "I'm afraid we won't be able to work together anymore." "Of course." "I'm sorry it had to end this way." "Tony?" "If you ever want to talk ..." "You know, the interesting thing about last night was that it clarified something that should have been clear years ago." "Sorry?" "I met up with an old girlfriend, Karen Berman." "Twenty years on, and she's still pretty, she's funny and we get it on and it's good." "You know, like Eglee said, you know, when was the last time I got my leg over?" "And there we are lying in bed and it just hits me," "I don't want to be with her." "I want to be with Carol ..." "or with you." "Well, Karen, she's studied every case I've ever done." "Every one." "And it's that that makes me sexy, that gives me allure." "Tony, she sounds like one of these crazy women that propose to serial killers." "No, I don't think she's crazy." "She studied every case you've ever done." "What, that sounds sane and balanced to you?" " See, it sounds like you're jealous." " No, believe me, I'm not." "I know." "I know you're not." "Well, all I'm trying to say is that I'm finding it harder and harder to ... say anything that makes any sense these days, even to me." "It's, uh, it's my head." "My bloody head." "What I want to say is that ... is that you accept me for what I am." "Reluctantly, maybe, but ... you do." "And I trust you." " I could say anything to you." " I wish sometimes you wouldn't." "You do know Eglee's on a revenge trip?" " On who?" " On "whom." On me." "Can you blame him, Tony?" "He's lost ten years of his life because of you." "Gordon Ozick's given me a cassette of one of his sessions with Eglee" " it's disturbing." "You know what's most disturbing about it?" "It's how Eglee speaks." "It's like you." "What are you talking about?" "He sounds just like you did when you questioned him." "Same ideas, same phrases." "You created him, Tony." "Well, I'd better have a listen then." "You have one message." "Please wait." "Tony, it's Karen." "I have to talk to you." "I'm at the hotel." "Please call." "We can't leave it like this." "When was the last time you got your leg over?" "Can't remember." "Paula." "Does the name Karen Berman mean anything to you?" "No, but I'll check it." "Dr. Hill ..." "I will write this article with or without you." "Well, good for you." "I know why you don't want to talk." "The Tracey Bradshaw case made your name." "Now it's collapsed and they're going to re-examine everything you've ever worked on." "Lawyers, criminals." "Look, I just thought the Jason Eglee confession was genuine, that's all." "You didn't put the idea in his head?" "Oh, no, the ideas were already in his head." "And he'd already acted on them." "DNA says otherwise." "DNA ... can't explain the DNA." "So, you're admitting that you're wrong?" "I, uh, I don't know." "It's all a bit of a mess really." "Can I quote you on that?" "You can do what you want." "Excuse me." "Witnesses from the Bradshaw case." "Karen Berman was at the club the night Tracey was snatched." "She didn't know Tracey." "Hadn't seen anything." "Why, guv?" "Karen Berman is Dr. Hill's new girlfriend." "And Karen lives in London but she was in Yorkshire when Tracey was attacked." " And she was in Bradfield four days ago." " You think a woman " "That would explain how two girls were removed from a public place without a single person seeing anything." "She's also got a record." "Twelve years ago, Karen's husband left her for another woman." "And she was arrested for making threatening phone calls." "She also tried to run over the new girlfriend." "Oh, and she scrawled graffiti over the woman's house and car." ""Bitch, whore," et cetera?" "And she was given a suspended sentence in condition that she took psychiatric treatment." "You know, what happened last night ... it really meant a lot to me." "Nothing happened last night." "You spent the night on the sofa." "Oh, well." "It really meant a lot." "Don't make jokes, Tony." "I'm serious about you." "And I want to know what you are about me?" " What you feel?" " What I feel?" "I feel the same way I did twenty years ago, Karen." "I'm not ready for a relationship." "I don't think I'll ever be ready." "I'm a disaster area, Karen." "Everything I've ever done in my professional life is now going to be examined under the media microscope, and" "no one survives that." " I don't care." "I'll stand by you." "There is nothing to stand by." "It's not just work, it's who I am." "It's what I've become." "And I've left no room for anyone else." "And that's how it is." "I'm sorry." "Karen Berman?" "Can I have a word?" "Go on then." "Have your word." "What are you doing in Bradfield, Miss Berman?" "None of your business." "Where were you four nights ago?" "Like I said, none of your business." "You work with Tony Hill, don't you?" "Nice lipstick." "What color is it?" "Coral." "Wouldn't suit you." "Excuse me, I have to pack." "You're coming with me." "She's going to discover me." "And I'm going to make my mark." "I can feel it ... pulsing from her." "All that undifferentiated lust ... like two force fields colliding." "Where were you four nights ago?" "I'll talk to Dr. Hill." "No one else." " Dr. Hill doesn't work here anymore." " Too much for you, was he?" "Perhaps he was." "No perhaps about it." "I've read your press, DI Fielding." "You're just another Carol Jordan." "Tony Hill thinks." "Your lips move." " Desire, thinking bad thoughts." " Thinking bad thoughts?" "Do you ever want to act on them?" "Oh, yeah." "Why didn't you?" "I'm scared." "Not of getting caught." "It's me." "I'm listening to the tape." "I shouldn't feel ashamed." "You're right and I'm wrong." "It was only when I was sick, you know, when I thought I was going to die." "And I said this, "this person isn't me." "He can't be me."" "Everyman should envy me." "It's only when I was sick, you know, when I thought I was –" " only when I was sick." "And when I thought I was –" "" " I was sick." "Come on!" "Yes, York Prison Medical Center." "Nothing on her." "Let her go." "Mm-hmm." "Yes, yes." "Yes, I understand." "Even child abusers have rights." "I just need to know what Mr. Eglee was ill with." "Well, can I at least have the name of his doctor while he was prison?" "Hot off the press." "Why are you doing this for me, Jessica?" "At the risk of sounding trite, you were the victim of a horrible injustice." "I'm happy to set the record straight." "Well, you do look happy." "And, uh, pretty." "Well, you've given me three front pages and my friends are taking me out to celebrate." "Got newsprint on my hands." "Can I, um ... thanks." "Call me mercenary, but you can make some money out of this." "You should sell your story to one of the nationals." "Dr. Ozick's already doing that." "Is he?" "Yeah, his book's been serialized." "He's giving me a share of the profits." "That's very nice of him." "I know Jason." "Saw him only recently." "And you also saw him in prison, Dr. Gorham?" "Yes, he was sick." "What was the problem?" "I'm afraid I can't tell you." "I just need to know what Jason Eglee was ill with." " And I said I'm not telling you." " Oh, don't give me that crap!" "Look, you do know the police are involved in this?" "Sorry." "You've done Jason enough harm, Dr. Hill." "Now leave or we will call the police." " Just tell me what happened to him." " No." "Are you in it with him as well?" "Well, you said you saw him recently, you " " Just go or we call the police." " Please, just tell me why." "I think you're responsible for that, too." "He couldn't sleep." "He was terrified of the night." "He wanted something to knock him out." " I got your message." " Mm-hmm." "And a message that you'd caused a disturbance in a doctor's office." "Yeah, Eglee's doctor." " He's hiding something." " What?" "Well, I don't know because he's hiding it." "But I've got something." "He prescribed Eglee with some sleeping pills." "And the best you can get is flunitrazepam, aka Rohypnol." "Well, he actually said that he prescribed that?" "No, not actually, but what if Eglee used it to get" "Linda out of the club?" "There was no trace if it in her blood." " Does it leave traces?" " Yes, it does." "Look, Tony ... let it go." " No, I won't!" "I'm not wrong, Alex." "You said on the phone you were wrong." "Yeah, about Tracey." "About Eglee and Tracey." "Look, if Eglee did not kill Tracey, and we know that he didn't -- why would he kill Linda?" "It doesn't make any sense." "You're right." "Absolutely no sense at all." "You know, maybe you should look closer to home." "What?" "I didn't murder anyone." "I don't think I did, not on present." "I'm talking about your girlfriend." "Thank you, Doctor." "I'll see you next week." "Can I help you, Miss Piper?" "Yes, I want to talk to you about Jason Eglee, but," "Linda Westhead -- was she one of your patients?" "Of course." "That poor girl." "She was hardly a patient." "Her parents brought her in for an appointment to see if hypnosis might stop her smoking." "So, Eglee could have met her here, then?" "She had only one appointment." "I doubt it." "But why don't you ask him?" "He's due here in a few minutes." "No, that's all right." "In fact, I probably should be going." "Thank you, for your help." "Dr. Hill, it's Jessica Piper." "I need you to call me." "I've got some information about Linda Westhead." "Yeah, uh, sorry." "Yeah, um, I've got some information on Linda Westhead." "She was trying to give up smoking and she was being hyp –" "She was, um, she was being hyp " "Karen?" "Karen, I know you're in there." "Look, you mustn't blame yourself." "This is my fault." "And as for the police questioning you, well ... that's obviously a mistake." "And we need to talk about it." "Karen?" "No!" "Karen!" "Oh, God!" "No!" "Somebody help me, please!" "I didn't see it." "Tony, you were the third of her ex-boyfriends that she tracked down, studied, and profiled." "Third?" "I'm flattered." "Is she still a suspect?" "The lab did more tests on the bloodstain from the Tracey Bradshaw crime scene." "At the chromosomal level, it was definitely male." "So, she was just a fruitcake, and ... and not a psychopath?" " Are you all right?" " It's just my head, Alex." "See, that was my particular gift." "To read people." "To "haruspicate and scry," but, now ... first Eglee, now Karen." "I cost him ten years." "I cost Karen her life." " Karen is not your fault." " Oh, yeah." "Eglee is though, isn't he?" "And he's not just my fault." "He is my masterpiece." " We all make mistakes." " Not with such consequences, Alex." "How many more mistakes are there?" "Come on." "Oh, I, uh ..." "I still get those dreams." "There are stairs and a roof." "And there's this woman's voice, it's encouraging me, and the funny thing is ... it sounds like you." "And when I get to the edge, I feel this tremendous sense of peace." "I hope that's what Karen felt." "Dr. Hill." "It's Jessica Piper." "I need you to call me." "I've got some information about Linda Westhead." "Yeah, um, sorry." "She was trying to give up smoking and she was being hyp -- she was, um, she was being hyp " "Dr. Hill, it's Jessica Piper." "I need you to call me." "I've got some information about Linda Westhead." "Yeah, um, sorry." "She was trying to give up smoking and she was being hyp" " she was, um, she was being hyp- " "Hi, this is Jessica Piper." "Leave me a message." "This is Tony Hill, Jessica, returning your call." "Un, my name is Tony Hill." "I believe my tumor, my meningioma, which was cut from my cerebellum only a year ago has crept back and taken up residence again." "I can, uh, describe the symptoms." "I have, uh, violent headaches, blurred vision, loss of balance." "Um ... a loss of sense and a loss of empathy." "And I'll take a seat, yeah." "Hello?" "I don't know why I didn't hear it before." "But I didn't." "It's four in the morning." "Just listen to the Eglee tape, Alex, just listen." "I have." "And that is my point exactly." "I am sure of it." "I am." " Oh, the point, that is." " Tony, are you drunk?" "Alex, listen!" "Listen!" "You can hear water on the tape!" "Trickling, it's tinkling, it's splashing, it's ... it's water." "Honestly, I don't understand what you're talking about." "There is a fountain in Ozick's consulting room." "When Ozick speaks, you can hear it on the tape." "And this is a tape that was recorded at Eglee's flat." "Are you sure?" "Alex, I beg you, please, listen to the tape." "It's, uh, it's in my house." "Oh, I've left my shoes in the oven." "But it's on low, so it's fine." " Tony, where are you?" " And if I'm right about this, which I know I am, about this anyway." "Ozick, he was in on it with Eglee." "Or my second theory was correct." "Ozick was there." "But didn't know what was going on because Eglee -- he drugged him with flunitrazepam." "He didn't date-rape Linda Westhead." "He date-raped his shrink." " Oh, Tony." " And then he made a tape with three hours of his narcissistic, lying bullshit with a few of Ozick's platitudes edited in." " Dr. Merrill to radiology." " Are you in hospital?" "Dr. Hill?" "I'm Roger Landau." "Would you come with us, please?" "Oh, and one more thing." "Jessica Piper rang about Linda Westhead." "Something about Linda wanting to, um, ..." " no -- wanting to give up smoking." "And being hyp – hyp -- it didn't make sense but she sounded urgent " " Jessica." "That's better." "Hyp ... hyp ... smoking." "Hypnotized." "Hypnotized." "Kevin, tell Paula to track down Jessica Piper." "Then go round to Dr. Hill's and get Eglee's therapy session tape." "It's in the machine." "Secondly, come round and pick me up." "We're going to go and talk to Dr. Ozick." "Yeah, go ahead, Paula." "I've got no response from Jessica's phone." "I'm at her flat." "She's not here." "Her car's not here." "When I listened to her message on Dr. Hill's machine, it sounded like she was cut off." "Paula, her phone must have had GPS." "Get onto the phone company." "See where her last call was made." "Why was Linda Westhead here, Dr. Ozick?" "Her parents wanted her to stop smoking." "You gave her hypnosis?" "One session." "Unfortunately, and, uh –" " Eglee had appointments here either side of Linda's session." "So?" "My patients meet." "Is that a crime?" "You failing to mention that the murder suspect met the murder victim prior to her death may well be." "I wade through this fog of desire thinking bad thoughts." "Thinking bad thoughts?" " Do you hear that?" " Hear what?" "Oh, yeah." " Why didn't you?" " I'm scared." " Why didn't you?" " There." "Do you recognize that?" "It's your little water feature." "I'm scared." " Not of getting caught " " And now, no water feature." "What, did it miraculously switch itself off?" " What are you trying to say?" " That the tape was edited." "The two people on it were not in the same room." "So, either you lied about being at Eglee's flat, or you didn't know what was going on there." "Impossible." "I sat in front of him, and ..." " So what did you talk about?" " I don't remember." "Probably just more self-pitying tripe." "I thought he was your diamond in the rough." "Did you have a headache when you left?" "Yes." "And the next morning ... like ..." "I was hung over." "Two days before you were at Eglee's bed-sit having your five-hour therapy session, Eglee went out and got himself prescribed some knock-out pills." "Aftereffects -- headaches and amnesia." "You think Eglee drugged me?" "While he went out hunting." "No." "This is absurd." "You're still trying to frame an innocent man." "You know he did not attack Tracey Bradshaw." "His DNA proves it." "Therefore, he did not attack Linda Westhead." "When did you last see Jessica Piper?" "She was here last night." "Around 9:00." "So was Jason Eglee." "Now, what did he have?" "Myeloma, leukemia ..." " thalassemia." "Dr. Hill, please keep your jaw still or it will interfere with the scan." "Was it lymphoma?" "Aplastic anemia?" "Jesus." "No, no, I need to get out!" "Jessica's last call was made from Dr. Ozick's house." "Her phone was briefly activated about two hours later." " Since then, nothing." " Okay, thanks, Paula." " Get back to us when you know." " DI Fielding." "I know how he fixed the DNA, Alex –" "Eglee's DNA, he said he was sick on the tape, remember?" " Tony, slow down." " No, I will not slow down, Alex," "I haven't got time!" "Look, I saw a sick kid and it made me think." "Eglee said he was sick." "So, my guess is it was something like leukemia or aplastic anemia." "Yes ... judging by his body type and his skin color when I interviewed him, anemia is ..." " Tony, what are you talking about?" "Aplastic anemia." "He had a bone marrow transplant." "Which means the blood pre-transplant and post transplant is different because the donor marrow he received manufactures different blood," " I am right, aren't I?" " I believe so." "Of course, if you do a full DNA comparison though " " We don't know this." " It's a guess, yeah?" "It explains every anomaly." "Go to the flat." "If he's had a transplant, there'll be medicine, there'll be, uh ... yes, immunosuppressants?" " Yes." "And, of course, the Rohypnol." "It'll all be there, Alex." "Dr. Hill, please?" "Of course, I could be wrong." "You know, on recent form, well, it's ... it's Luxembourg nil points." "Look at me now." "Look at me." "Shit." "I might have found Jessica Piper." "We need divers." " Where's the quarry?" " Less than two miles from here." "Police!" "Jason Eglee!" "Looking for any signs of him." "We need roadblocks at Henton, Red Marsh, and Canningford." "Stop all vehicles." "Yeah, all vehicles." " Geoffries?" " We're at Eglee's place." "This is DI Fielding." "Check the whole flat for pills, any medication." "We're looking for flunitrazepam." "I know that plate." "It's Eglee's van!" "Check the back!" "Jason, I need to get you out of here." "The truck's going to explode!" " Fuckin' bit me!" " Tracey Bradshaw -- was it you?" "Ask Dr. Hill." " Tell me, you bastard!" " Come on, it's gonna go!" "Run!" "Tony Hill." "Eglee's dead." "He had Jessica Piper." "She survived." "We didn't find anything at his flat." "No immunosuppressants, nothing." "So, the DNA stuff I don't know." "It was just a guess, Alex." "I asked him about Tracey Bradshaw, did he do it?" "He just said, "Ask Dr. Hill."" "But he took Jessica." "He wrote on her, and he was going to kill her." "He had it in him." "Because I put it there." "Tony, you mustn't think like that." "Anyway, how are you?" "I'm fine." " What have they said?" " That I'm fine." "Got to go." "Yeah, all right." "Guv!" "Tony?" "What are you doing?" "It's my dream." "It's about letting go." "Is it the tumors?" "They've come back." "They wouldn't tell me." "Well, the considered opinion of two oncologists, uh, a radiologist, cranial osteopath, and four nurses ... is that I had a severe migraine." "Then why?" "Why this?" "Because I'm so full of myself, I thought a headache was cancer." "And I thought I could play games with a vulnerable woman." "And make an innocent man guilty." "But Eglee was guilty." "That's what I've come to tell you." "They found a locker in his basement with flunitrazepam in it." "And immunosuppressants." "You were right, Tony." "Then why do I feel so wrong?" "Please, Tony." "I need you."
