"Reports tonight suggest that police have been called
to the home of Terrence Holland.
Mr Holland is terminally ill
and a prominent campaigner for the right to die."

The victim is Terrence Holland, investment banker,
hence this very lovely penthouse. He's also terminally ill.
He was found, in an apparent drugs overdose, in the bedroom.
Paramedics found bruising and a needle mark on his right arm.
Thank God the ambulance got here just in time.
It's a potential high-profile suicide attempt, OK?
Terrence Holland is a very passionate right-to-die campaigner, hence why I called you.
The lady over there is his GP, Dr Melanie Standish.
She called the police.
I arrived here at about seven o'clock
for a pre-arranged meeting. OK.
I knocked at the door and I heard Terrence's voice.
I heard his voice and I heard a woman's voice.
Did you recognise it? I presumed it to be his ex-wife, Henrietta,
which was a bit of a surprise because they're going through a very bitter divorce.
So they sounded to me as if they were having an argument. OK.
So then I decided to leave them to it and maybe go for a walk.
Did you hear the voices again when you came back? No. No, no, no.
I didn't hear anything when I came back. I knocked on the door, there was no sound, no voices, no nothing.
So I decided to ring Terrence on his mobile, and I got no reply,
and I... I started to worry.
That's when you called the police? That's when I called the police.
We found his wife, Henrietta Holland, in the bedroom,
out for the count. I had Uniform take her to the station
so she can be looked at by the FME.
Have you got any sharps in that box? No. No? What else have we got?
So Mr Holland suffers from cancer, quite an advanced stage.
So he would've been barely able to use his arms.
He could not have done that himself. OK. You notice there's no syringes, no vials, no packaging around?
It is pretty straightforward, right?
Wife Henrietta has tried to help husband Terrence to die. OK. Whoa, whoa.
Don't jump to conclusions. That's my job.
How is he? Henrietta, I've been told he's in ICU
and he's currently struggling to breathe on his own, so...
..very unwell, unfortunately.
So you spoke on the phone - Yeah.
And then you agreed to meet up this evening?
We talked for an hour and...
he was really tired.
The myeloma takes it out of him.
He fell asleep,
and I was very tired so I took a couple of sleeping pills
and I went to sleep in the spare room.
What time did you go to bed?
Just after seven.
It's quite early for a grown woman.
I was on a really early shift. I was up at about half-three.
So you don't live at the flat? No. No.
We've been separated for a bit more than a year.
OK, we got Mr Terrence Holland. Mmm.
Set up Euthanasia Action UK as a direct response
to his inability to bring his own rights-to-die campaign
to the High Court. Mm-hm.
OK. And it appears that Dr Melanie Standish is
an ardent supporter of the campaign.
There's no sign of a forced entry into this house, OK?
So if Dr Standish is to be believed,
whoever had the argument with Terrence, in the house,
had access. Let's locate brothers, sisters, do we know? Yes.
He has one brother, Matt Holland.
I cannot find him,
but I have spoken to his wife, Jess.
She's on her way to the hospital. OK, let's go there now. Yeah.
Ah, Jess, listen, I know it's late. We're not gonna keep you too long, just a few questions. That's OK.
How was Terrence over the last couple of days?
Did he give any indication anything like this might be happening? No, not at all.
He was really positive, actually. When was the last time you saw him? A couple of days ago maybe.
Matthew saw him yesterday. He was really positive yesterday as well.
Do you have a key to Terrence's flat? Yes, and Matthew does.
We have one each. OK.
And what were you up to this evening? Early evening?
I was with Edna. She's a friend of mine.
Right. Does Edna have a surname? Locke.
OK. Edna Locke. About what time were you there? Um...
Probably from about sixish. Mm-hm.
I think maybe for a couple of hours. OK.
And where was Matthew today? Matthew's out with his friends,
and I don't think he even knows.
Did you get those toxicology reports? Yes, I have Terrence Holland's toxicology report.
So he suffered a morphine overdose. They also found traces of zopiclone
in his system. It's a sleeping tablet.
SOCO's found estranged wife Henrietta's pack of sleeping tablets in the kitchen area,
and also looked through Terrence's medication logbook. There's a phial of morphine missing from the fridge. OK.
I think we need to know how the sleeping pills were administered.
If Terrence Holland can't use his hands properly,
did someone help him? Did he... Was he able to use a cup, etc?
I've been in touch with his solicitors. They said they sent
divorce papers to Terrence's estranged wife, Henrietta, a month ago,
maybe even more, for her to sign, an absolute decree, and she hasn't signed them,
she hasn't sent them back. We're talking about a huge amount of money.
He's an investment banker, his apartment is pretty flash.
People have been murdered for a lot less. Yes, a potential motive.
Let's look at his last will and testament,
see who's most likely to benefit from his death I suppose.
In the meantime, could we bring in Henrietta based on the sleeping pill evidence, please? OK.
Mrs Holland? Yes. Hi.
I was wondering if you'd accompany me down to the station, please? I've already been. I appreciate that.
I've told you everything I know. In order to continue my investigation, I need to arrest you.
What? I am arresting you on suspicion of assisting a suicide.
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you fail to mention, when questioned,
something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be used
in evidence - This is - Please come with us - crazy.
I don't want to have to use these. Oh my God. Let's go quickly and quietly.
You've got this wrong, really wrong.
Can you tell me about this, please?
It's... er... my decree absolute.
Signed?
Um... Unsigned. Why is that?
We decided to give it another go, our marriage.
Um... We were keeping it quiet.
After we separated, Terry's family took sides
and we just wanted to have a chance to see if it would work
without external pressure. OK.
Do you have any idea how your sleeping pills
might have ended up in Terrence's system?
I've absolutely no idea, no.
Well, we've found traces of the pills in his system. It's something for you to think about.
I took two myself and then I fell asleep in the spare room.
I didn't give him any pills. Are you sure?
I'm absolutely sure, yes. What was the argument about? What argument?
Terrence's personal physician said she called to the door at 7pm,
she heard raised voices. She said she heard something that sounded like an argument,
an intense, heated debate. I was there, we talked for an hour,
we both went to sleep. We didn't argue. Your husband has a lot of money, he's terminally ill,
and you wanna get your hands - This is ridiculous. You gave him sleeping pills, knocked him out,
dosed him up to the gills with morphine. I don't know what you're talking about.
This is complete madness. This is the first I knew that he had sleeping pills in his system.
I would never have done that!
Did you buy it? I can't figure out whether it's actually genuine upset
or if she's bullshitting us, OK. But if I was a betting man,
I'd say this argument was about money.
I won't take much of your time, Edna, but thank you for having me.
I just wanted to ask you about Jess Holland. Yes.
And she was here last night, if I understand correctly? Yes, yes.
Yes, she was. About what time? Ooh... um...
About six o'clock. She stayed for an hour, an hour-and-a-half.
OK. Is that morphine?
Yes, that's for me.
I've got cancer I'm afraid, so... I'm sorry to hear that.
It must be nice to have people like Jess come visit.
Yes, she's wonderful. She comes to make sure I'm not lonely or,
you know, too depressed. Yes. And her husband, Matt,
he's my care nurse. He gives me the injections.
I'm going to leave you in peace now. That's really helpful, so thank you.
She confirmed that Jess was at her place yesterday, from six o'clock, for about an hour-and-a-half.
Jess's husband Matt is her care nurse, so he knows how to administer morphine.
I've been trying to figure out what he was up to yesterday. I managed to trace him to a casino
late afternoon, but he left about 6.30. I have no idea where he is now.
Let's circulate a description of Matt Holland, OK? Yeah.
I popped down to Forensics. They think Terrence drank something deliberately laced
with Henrietta's sleeping pills, cos they found a mug in the kitchen with some powdery residue at the bottom.
Also, it has been deliberately wiped of fingerprints. It doesn't sound like an assisted suicide, Jack.
No, it's looking like an attempted murder.
Somebody got that syringe out of there,
and if we can identify that that somebody was Henrietta,
then that will deconstruct her alibi, right?
The FME has processed Henrietta's samples and confirmed the presence of sleeping tablets,
so she may well have been out for the count like she said she was.
You see my major problem with your whole story
is this big reconciliation.
OK? Because we've found forensic evidence of the sleeping tablets
in Terrence's coffee cup. You and Terrence were alone in the house,
he can't walk, he can't feed himself, you had the sleeping tablets, the sleeping tablets are in his system.
Explain that. I didn't give him the sleeping pills!
How can you explain then, that they were in his system? I can't explain it but I didn't give them to him!
I've been going through Terrence's mobile phone history.
He's made contact with the rectory at St Sebastian's Church.
Maybe he's looking for spiritual guidance.
Yeah, well, listen. Maybe it was planned
and maybe Henrietta did agree to help him.
He's also received two phone calls yesterday, OK? One of the phone calls was from the wonderful Dr Standish.
The second call was from MCP Bank, credit card fraud department.
The call lasted 30 minutes, OK? I got in touch with the credit card company.
They said the phone call was to do with a credit card of Terrence's that had been completely maxed out,
no repayments made on it. Apparently he denied all knowledge of the card.
I'm wondering whether someone who had access to Terrence's flat is also taking advantage of him.
Defrauding him for money?
Not only has Terrence got one credit card maxed out,
there's three credit cards been applied for in the last couple of months.
The credit cards are being used solely to withdraw money from ATMs.
That's odd. We know Henrietta has being seeing Terrence
for the last six weeks or so. Hm-hm. In secret, OK?
The credit cards were applied for two, three, four months ago, OK?
Matt and Jess, they have access to the flat, don't they? Yeah, they do.
OK. Is there any way they could be applying for
credit cards in Terrence's name?
Yeah? Yeah, thank you.
So they've found Matt Holland.
He's sleeping off a hangover on a park bench.
Er... Mr Holland? Yeah. I'm Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
Where were you last night? I was out at a friend's party, birthday,
at Benning's Casino. OK.
OK, Benning's Casino, great.
Erm... Remind me of your profession. I'm a palliative care nurse. OK.
You must see this kind of thing all the time, people in Terrence's position. Mm-hm.
The sadness of it. Mm-hm.
The hopelessness of it really, I suppose. It's a difficult period.
Can you lead me through your day, kind of late afternoon?
Yesterday afternoon I went by and saw Terry.
I saw him in the afternoon. I left him, I went out to the party.
Is it strange that you know Terrence so well
but you've not involved in any aspect of his care?
I'm not really able to take on his care at the moment.
It's too... It's too much.
He's my brother, I can't give him that,
and he's got... He's got a private GP, you know?
He's gone private. My brother will throw money at a problem,
and she is the best care that money can provide, you know?
Private sector.
Um... We've found Matt, Jess,
sleeping off his heavy night on a park bench.
Really? Yeah.
OK. Is that not something he makes a habit of?
Not really, no. He doesn't go out very often any more. We tend to stay in.
OK. It's cheaper. It's much cheaper. And we're saving up for a flat as well.
I finally got in touch with the bank over the transactions in and out of
Terrence's bank account, the most recent ones at least.
There's something very odd about the money Dr Standish is receiving from Terrence.
Anything to do with the credit cards? I haven't worked that out yet,
but after the call they had yesterday afternoon, Terrence deposited £12,000 into
Dr Standish's business bank account, and that's on top of all the other extortionate fees she's charging him.
Is that Terrence paying Standish
so that she'll help him try and end his life?
Wait a minute. This is a private physician, a very well-paid
private physician. I don't think 12 grand is enough to kill somebody.
I do want our doctor's movements last night corroborated,
all right? As quick as a flash.
This is our Dr Standish down here.
Oh. OK,
so that guy there is a neighbour of Terrence Holland,
door-to-door - With the shuffle bags. With the shuffle bags.
I've spoken to him. He said that Dr Standish had a massive go at him
for bumping into her with shopping bags, and he described her as "tense and impatient",
maybe because she's nervous and on her way to administer a near-fatal morphine overdose.
Hang on. She's the one who made the 999 phone call.
Maybe she wanted to get back in and corrupt the crime scene with her fingerprints.
But we can't prove any of that, Charlie, so let's focus on what we have got,
which is 12 grand being paid from Terrence Holland to Dr Standish
on the day that he overdosed, all right?
I spoke to the hospital. Terrence Holland is out of intensive care but he's heavily sedated,
so we're not gonna talk to him anytime soon.
I've just been on to the General Medical Council
to see if Dr Standish is registered to a practice, which she is.
What's interesting is two years ago she was subject to an internal investigation when she was
working as a registrar at Bond's College Hospital.
She filed a "do not resuscitate" for an elderly patient
against the family's wishes,
and shortly afterwards she left that hospital by mutual consent.
So it seems that our Dr Standish has very strong views on the right-to-die issue.
Dr Standish?
Can I have a quick moment?
Dr Standish, could we talk to you outside, please?
I'm very sorry, I can't talk to you now. I'm busy. Outside.
I've got a lot of things to do. Five minutes and I'll talk to you.
I'm happy to arrest you in the corridor. What?
I'm arresting you on suspicion of assisted suicide. Don't be silly.
You do not have to say anything that may harm your defence - No, this is ridiculous. Something which you
later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?
But you understand that, to save embarrassment,
I will come with you, but this is outrageous. Absolutely outrageous.
Fine. I don't need you to take my arm. I will cuff you if you do not go willingly.
Or I will hold you. You choose. OK, hold me, but I will talk to my solicitor. Thank you.
There you go. £12,000. Does that mean anything to you, Melanie?
Yes, it does.
£12,000 was deposited into my account by Terrence Holland,
and I noticed it this morning when I looked at my bank statement. Why would he pay you £12,000?
He already pays you enough, surely? He put my name into the public domain.
The fact is, I am trustee of his lobbying group.
I'm passionate about the beliefs that he holds
but I did not want my name in the newspapers. I was very angry about it.
I presume that's why he decided to put £12,000 in my account, but I don't want it.
Melanie, yesterday, when you went to Terrence Holland's flat,
so can you just run me through this again.
You parked up, and then what did you do?
I told you this yesterday, but I went to Terrence Holland's flat at seven o'clock.
There were voices behind the door, there was an argument.
I decided to go for a walk for about half an hour,
and I got back to the flat at 7:30.
Do you have a key to Terrence's flat? Erm... Yes, I, well, I did.
I did have a key but I have no idea where it is now. OK.
OK, we're going to be searching your car and your flat, Melanie,
just so you know, so if you wanna change your answer. Just so you know, just so you know,
this is absolutely outrageous.
It's completely out of order, and when this investigation is over,
your superiors will be hearing from me. OK. OK?
Thank you. Thank you. We can get you a cup of tea maybe?
I don't want anything from you. No? OK. OK.
Am I free to leave? No, absolutely not. You stay where you are, OK?
Sarge? Yeah.
What have we got? Oh.
Excellent.
So we know that Dr Standish has a key to Terrence's flat.
If Henrietta woke up at some point she may have disturbed Dr Standish,
mid-mercy killing, which would explain the failed overdose.
Why would Terrence go ahead with the assisted suicide if he knew Henrietta was in the flat still?
It's worth chatting to Henrietta again, see what we can get. OK.
Did Terrence know that you stayed the night?
No, he wouldn't have known.
Um... He fell asleep before I did. OK.
And then you took some sleeping pills and you went to sleep?
When you took those, where did you leave the packet?
On the side, in the kitchen, on the work surface. OK.
Why would Dr Standish even bother using sleeping pills?
She would've known that the morphine is enough - Yes - to kill Terrence.
Do you see what I'm saying, though? Yeah.
I've just spoken to Terrence's solicitor, OK?
He changed his will six months ago.
The beneficiary is not Matt. Who is it? Jess. Jess?
Why would he leave all his money to his sister-in-law, not his brother?
I don't know, Charlie. Ask Dr Standish, OK?
Dr Standish gets nothing out of the will but is the executor. OK? Right.
Yeah. Wish me luck.
So we found Terrence's key, your copy of it, in your car.
Yeah, I told you I'd lost it.
Right.
You're an executor to Terrence Holland's will, are you not?
Yes, I am. Why is he leaving all his money to Jess?
Because his brother, Matt, has a gambling habit.
Surely they're married, they have a joint account, that's no guarantee that Matt won't spend it.
She's the one who holds the family together, she keeps a tight rein on the finances, she knows Matt
would fritter away the money so she makes sure she controls it and that he doesn't lose any of it.
We've gone through Matt Holland's financial records. Dr Standish was right. He loves a good gamble.
Apparently he lost a packet at the casino yesterday. A regular customer there and he always gambles alone.
How does this guy fund his gambling habit on a nurse's salary? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I know.
This is Matt and Jess's joint account statement.
They're permanently in the red, they're really struggling for cash.
But every so often there are these injections of cash. 500 quid, a grand,
which keep them from going over their massive overdraft.
OK, is the money being taken from Terrence's credit card
similar to the cash injections here? No, I don't think so.
The dates and the amounts just don't match. They're too different. OK, we need clarification
on monies in and out. Ask Jess, will you, please? Yeah, I will do.
Hiya. All right, Jess. How's it going? Good.
Good.
How much do you know about Terrence's will?
Nothing really.
Nothing at all? No, no.
OK. So you didn't know you're set to inherit all of his money?
No.
Am I? No, I didn't know that.
Yeah, absolutely. He changed his will a little while ago
and you alone are the main beneficiary. Right.
Gosh, OK, I can't get my head around that. That's...
I take it that would make a massive difference to your personal finances? A huge difference, yeah.
We've been struggling for a while.
We're saving up for a house, the same as anyone else on one income. Yeah, no.
Are you not working? No, I'm not. I was made redundant. OK.
Um... Where were you working, if you don't mind me asking?
At a salon called Clearly Gorgeous,
and I was made redundant from that last year.
OK. So, yes, just relying on Matt's income really. Mm-hm.
I only asked because I've been having a look through yours and Matt's joint current account,
and other than Matt's earnings coming in,
there are these sort of quite regular - You've got our statements?
We do have a right to look through people's finances if we feel
it's relevant to the case and they're significant witnesses. I am quite curious to know
where those sums are coming from.
Well, I've been doing a bit of cash in hand on the side. OK.
We've been struggling for a bit, as I said, and -
What kind of work? I do my beauty treatment on the side. Right.
Matt's been gambling for a while,
which is something we're dealing with separately,
so I've had to go out and do things but I'm sorry I didn't mention it.
I've never claimed it on a tax form so I was just a bit... OK.
Um... I'm just a bit worried I'm gonna get in trouble.
So, Edna, you're a beauty client of Jess's. She comes round and gives you treatments? Yes, that's right.
Does she come round often? Yes, about... um... Well,...
..at least twice a month I should say.
OK. How much does she charge?
Well, if you must know, she charges £20.
And sometimes I give her a little extra.
I don't understand. What are all these questions?
I'm just following up on our investigations. Really? Yep.
I don't see why she shouldn't get a bit of extra. She needs to.
I mean, her husband Matt's a bit...
Well, he's not a great provider.
Do you pay her in cash?
Yes, I pay her in cash.
£20 is quite cheap for a beauty treatment for a facial.
Yes, well, she's being kind and nice
to people who don't have an awful lot.
Bring me news.
I have just been on the phone to Jess's old employers.
They're a salon called Clearly Gorgeous. One of the services they offer are Botox injections,
which Jess would also have administered. She knew how to use a needle. Absolutely.
I'm also still thinking about the deposits going into Jess and Matt's account.
I spoke to Edna again. She confirmed that Jess gives her and some of the others treatments,
but she's charging small amounts. Even though Edna says, "Sometimes I give her more,"
it's not enough to cover what's going into those accounts.
Are you guys talking about me? I heard "clearly gorgeous". Oh, clearly deluded.
OK, thank you. The tech team have done a full analysis of
Terrence Holland's computer.
On it they found an email from Terrence's solicitor,
which contained a draft copy of the will.
That email has been forward on to Matt Holland's email address.
OK, so wait a minute. Matt and Jess, they did know that they were
beneficiaries of the will?
That's not what she said to me.
Can we get hold of Matt again? Where is he, do we know?
I will ask Jess.
Just after I left Jess she gets on the phone.
We've traced that call. It's to husband Matt.
She then fucks off, tells Leo on the front desk that she's got to get back to work,
which we all know is a lie because, Jess, you've been made redundant. I can't reach either Jess or Matt.
OK, let's circulate them as wanted.
I'll get a Section Eight warrant and we'll search their flat. Good.
Why did you let her go, Charlie?
So Jess went straight from here to pick up husband Matt,
they then drive off down that way. There's no CCTV on the next street so we lose them.
I have absolutely no idea where they are, where they're going.
Are they having a barney? Yeah, it looks like it. Boss?
They've done a search of Matt and Jess's house.
The place is an absolute tip. These guys have definitely done a runner.
Found in the living room,
three credit cards registered to Terrence Holland.
Also found was a bank deposit book
registered to Edna Locke's bank account.
Inside the deposit book we can see that the money from the credit cards
has been deposited into Edna Locke's bank account.
And they've been using Edna's account to launder the cash. Cheeky bastards.
- Do you think she knows? - Yeah, possibly.
What's Edna's address? 23 Hilden Avenue. 23 Hilden Avenue.
OK, great. MPR have spotted Matt and Jess's car. It's on its way to Edna's.
OK, get there before they do. Yeah.
OK, Matt and Jessie's car.
Is that Matt and Jessie's car? Yeah, that one. This one? Mm-hm.
You keep coming into my house and asking questions. What am I meant to have done?
Sit down, make yourself comfortable. We're looking for Matt and Jess Holland. Both are wanted by police
for questioning. We believe they may be hiding here. They are not. I don't care.
I'm searching your home. He can't. Get comfortable. He can't come into my house. I'm afraid he can.
Just cos she does a bit of work on the side you think she's fiddled her tax.
It's much more serious than that. Oh, come off it. I know them better than that.
If you know where they are, it's really - I don't know where they are.
Their car's parked outside.
Ooh. Edna, are you OK?
Edna? Edna?
Call an ambulance. Ohh! Are you struggling to breathe? Yes.
Edna, just sit back in your chair, it's fine. I'll get you -
Ambulance. Can I get you some water? Yes. We're at 7 Hilden Avenue.
I'm DS Jack Weston. We've an elderly lady, shortness of breath, chest pains, yes?
I'll get you some water.
Eyes peeled on ANPR. OK, keep me posted.
OK, bye.
Erm... How is she? She's fine. I just spoke to the consultant.
She was faking it. There's nothing wrong with her heart.
One of the neighbours said five minutes before we arrived, which is fucking marvellous,
two people matching Matt and Jess's description
hopped into Edna's car and drove off. Oh.
Would you give us a minute? Sure. Thank you.
Mrs, Mrs, Mrs Locke.
You rather had one over on us. Fair play.
I don't know what you're talking about. I still have your handbag.
Um... I thought you were having a heart attack so I - Yes, so did I.
I'm sure you did. I did notice, however,
looking through, that there's no debit card.
So?
You don't seem very concerned about the loss of your debit card. Why should I be?
If my debit card's not in my handbag, it's in a pocket somewhere.
Or on the table somewhere. It could be anywhere.
My patience with this is waning.
You are currently obstructing a police investigation.
Where's your debit card? I don't know. Did you give it to Matt and Jess Holland?
Well, I could have done. We need to go. Mrs Locke,
I'm thrilled at your miraculous recovery, but someone's been using
your debit card at a petrol station on the Vine Road, five minutes away. Thank you, Mrs Locke. See you soon.
Red Micra, red Micra.
There they are. Control, this is DC Steele.
We spotted the suspects. They've abandoned their car on Trisfield Gardens.
They're heading through the park in the direction of the station.
We're going to swing round to the exit, try and get ahead of them. There, there, there. Hold on.
Just let them get a little bit closer.
Matt and Jess Holland? Stand there, stand there, stand there.
Stop! Fucker! Stand there. Are you OK, Jack?!
Jess Holland, I'm arresting you for attempted murder.
You don't have to say anything that may harm your defence...
..whatever you do say may be used in evidence. Do you understand?
Do you understand? Yes.
Jess, why did you and Matt take Edna's car and run?
Because we panicked, I panicked.
Because Matthew told me what he'd done and I was worried
what was going to happen to him, so I wasn't thinking very clearly,
I don't think. And in all this panic and confusion,
you had the forethought to pick up Edna's debit card.
Well, I just... I didn't know what was going to happen to Matthew,
and I was worried for him so I didn't really think anything through.
I hadn't thought any of this through.
What about the money you've been depositing into Edna's account?
Hm. Where did that money come from?
Well, that was Matthew's...
That was the money Matthew won from the casino.
So I was keeping it from... So he wouldn't lose it again.
So I was taking it away from him.
But why put it into Edna's account?
Because we've been told that you control the purse strings,
you control the marital finances,
so why not just put it in your account with your massive overdraft?
No, I don't control the money. No?
I do now but I didn't used to control the money.
I've had to because he'd just spend all of our money,
and he has done before.
Can you tell us, please, what these are?
Cos we found these in your flat. Look - It's got Terrence's name on. This was a short-term thing.
I was in real financial problems. I'm going to pay it back.
I'm a gambling addict. I've got a problem, and I recognise it, and I'm trying to deal with it.
You were trying to see what else you could get away with. Absolutely not.
This was a short-term financial problem that we were solving like this. I know it's not ideal.
Entirely separate to that, another separate issue is my brother had a terminal, incurable disease,
and he was asking me, as a palliative care nurse,
to assist him in dying.
Did Jess know? No-one else knew. This was just between me and him.
OK, let's go with this. So you went to the casino. I went to the casino,
I had a couple of drinks, and then I went to his flat.
And... er... he was there on his own.
We talked for a while. He said he didn't want to be injected.
He wanted to be asleep. And you left then at...?
I left about half-seven. About half-seven or half-seven?
Yeah, it was... um... Yeah, it was half-seven.
What direction? Did you leave at the front door, you go right or you go left? Which way?
I went - Where did you go?
I... um... I went... er... left.
I mean I just... I was getting really emotional. I wasn't...
Jack? Charlie? Yeah. I've just spoken to Terrence's priest,
the one he rang. He wasn't looking for any spiritual guidance at all.
He booked a private ceremony to renew his marriage vows to Henrietta.
Breaks your heart, eh? Fuck. It doesn't sound like someone who's gonna commit suicide any time soon.
No, it sounds like attempted murder to me.
We've just been looking through what Matt told us in Interview. Looking at the timeline,
he said that when he left Terrence's, at 7:30,
he turned left. If he did he should've run into Dr Standish.
I think Matt's account is starting to look a bit thin on the ground. So,
who's our killer, guys? Matt or Jess?
I suppose, in the days leading up to the assisted suicide, it wouldn't surprise you that Terrence
had contacted a priest. He was, in fact, planning a ceremony.
His funeral. No. No.
He was planning to renew his marriage vows... to Henrietta.
It was a surprise, and obviously a surprise to you, too, by the looks of it.
It's a bit odd, isn't it?
That he wanted to commit suicide so soon, with you,
when he had such big plans for the future.
Tell the truth. Who really injected Terrence? I did. It was me.
Matt, look at me. Tell me.
I did it, it was me. I did it.
He comes across to me as the kind of guy who doesn't have the balls to carry this kind of thing out.
And Jess's whole "I'm a helpless victim" routine is, it's weak.
I mean, she clearly dominates him - and he lets her. Big time.
We could interview him until kingdom come but he's not gonna suddenly
turn around and backtrack on his confession and implicate his wife.
So we have to find another way.
Maybe Edna?
I've been through the various routes Jess would've used to get to Edna's,
particularly the one she would've used to evade capture. Side streets, small alleyways,
there's no CCTV on them whatsoever. Where does Edna live? There.
Have we checked the congestion charging cameras?
I think that might be just inside the zone.
Yes!
Boss?
Yeah.
This is Jess Holland entering the congestion charging zone
near Edna Locke's house at eight o'clock yesterday,
which is two hours later than she said she was there.
It means she doesn't have an alibi for the time Terrence was injected. Yeah, that's good,
but that's not proof that she actually injected Terrence.
So we've got to link her to the syringe.
We'll never find that. We looked in Terrence's house. It could be anywhere.
We thought we couldn't find the syringe cos we were looking at his flat.
Now we have a suspect, that gives us a number of other options we didn't think about. Right.
She may have turned up at Edna's. We know she was near there at eight, perhaps after Terrence's,
and thought, fuck, I've got the syringe. Edna's got a Sharps box, a bin,
any number of places she could've hidden it. Have you looked?
Stop waving that thing in my face. Please tell me - Hello. Sorry.
I'll take over from here. Edna, this is your copy of the warrant,
as I'm sure my colleague tried to explain. Why's he got a warrant?
Edna,
I know you lied to me about the time Jess was here last night.
And also would you mind bagging up this box, please? We're gonna take your Sharps container.
You did lie, didn't you, about last night?
Well, all right, but you've got it all wrong.
Jess didn't try to murder anybody. Terrence asked her to help him.
She was going to help him to do it.
I'm afraid, Edna, that Jess lied to you.
Terrence wasn't ready to die. He didn't want to die. Yes, he was.
He was about to renew his vows. He had a lot to live for.
To Henrietta? Yeah.
Oh, no.
Here's what I think.
Jess hears about the credit card company calling Terrence from you.
She decides to take evasive action, decides to come to Terrence's house,
decides to polish him off, get rid of him before he can say anything about it. So for that reason, Matt,
we are now charging Jess with attempted murder.
She told me that he asked her to do it.
Why are you standing up for this woman who has tried to murder your brother, OK,
and is trying to defraud him of what could be millions?
Because she's my wife. She said that I should do it.
I should be the one to do it but I wasn't man enough. It's not your job to carry the can for this woman.
OK? Tell the truth.
It was my fault. Jesus! I created the problem with the credit cards, and she said I should've solved it.
If she asked you to jump off a fucking cliff, would you?
We've found this syringe in the Sharps box at Edna Locke's house.
It's got your fingerprints on it. Now we're running it for DNA,
but what's the betting Terrence's will be on there?
Yeah, well, I... Terrence asked me to help him die - and I did.
Did Matt know that you planned to kill his brother? No.
No, because Matt wouldn't...
Matt wouldn't have been able to go through with it, that's why Terrence asked me.
Because Matt's weak, he wouldn't be up to doing something...
Did you know Henrietta was there? No. In the flat? No.
No, why would I know that...? I don't...
Well, you might have guessed because her sleeping pills were there on display.
Terrence asked me to use her sleeping pills
because he wanted to die in his sleep.
So you knew those sleeping pills belonged to her.
You don't seem very surprised, given that you didn't know, apparently,
that Henrietta and Terrence were back together. No, I didn't. I...
Um... Let me ask you again. Did you know Henrietta was in the flat?
No. No. It's handy though, isn't it, that she was there?
What do you mean? Why? Someone to blame
is kind of what I'm saying. No, I didn't do it with someone to blame.
I was helping Terrence.
I'm actually finding this really stressful because I was helping him.
He... He's Matt's brother
and he... he wanted to die.
And the court said that he wasn't...
That... I'm sorry, I'm just...
Jess Holland,
I think the only person you were really trying to help was yourself.
You were stealing from your brother-in-law,
he was about to find out, so you tried to kill him.
You're going to prison, love.
I went to see Henrietta at the hospital. Mm-hm?
I nearly let slip about Terrence wanting to renew their vows.
I felt like we put her through the mill last night and today.
I wanted to have some good news.
We put her through the mill, or you did? What's that meant to mean?
You had her in your eyeline from the get-go.
May I remind you that you very much took my Henrietta bone and ran with it.
My granny used to always say, "Don't ever let me rot away in a nursing home,
put me out of my misery before it gets that way." It's such a hard decision.
It's getting old. No-one wants to get old.
Listen, I'll buy you a pint. You're going to buy me a pint? Yeah.
I will take that.
I dread getting called out to this shithole.
There's a massive concentrated pool of blood. She was stabbed here.
I've spoken to the head teacher at Baringford High School.
The Oyster card is registered to Anna Fisher.
She's 13 years old. 13? Yeah.
I've got the results from Anna's physical examination.
Four different DNA samples found, three as yet unidentified.
One's from Nathan Cole, a registered sex offender living in Birmingham.
A schoolgirl out at that time of night
and you just were a Good Samaritan?
And this Good Samaritan didn't even call the police.
Let me tell you something.
Anna was eight weeks pregnant when she was stabbed.
She has suffered a miscarriage, she is underage,
you have already fucked up!
Police! Police! Police!
