05x06 - Life And Death

Tony and Claire are on the beat. They find a very drunk man slumped on a bench. Claire asks if he is OK and suggests he head home before they have to arrest him. "Watch out, Claire!" Tony prompts - but it's too late and the drunk vomits all over her. Tony calls for the van to bring them all in.

Ken is sent to inform Mrs Jack Carter that her husband has died in an accident at work. June apologises because she knows no one likes doing them but if it were her in Mrs Carter's shoes, she'd be glad it was Ken delivering the news. Ken tells Mrs Carter tactfully and comforts her when she breaks down. He suggests he call someone to be with her but they have no children or close family and the neighbours they knew have moved away. Mrs Carter keeps calling her husband John and Ken keeps asking about 'Jack' but John's and Jack's were interchangeable way back when. Ken decides to make himself useful and put the kettle on. He is concerned that there's been a mixup over the names so asks Tom to confirm the details. Tom repeats the name - Jack Carter - and the address that Ken is at. Ken asks Tom to double-check the man's details with the factory.

Tony helps Alec process the unknown drunk. He has no ID on him and very little possessions in his pockets. All he will say is that 'I'd have died for her! Won't come back! Can't! Over! Dead!" He then collapses. Alec tries to wake him and orders an ambulance - it appears the man has taken an overdose as well as being drunk.

The factory confirms the dead man's identity as J Carter. Tom asks if that is Jack or John but the person on the end of the phone has no idea! He asks them to check - and quick!

Alec gets Tony to take the unconscious drunk's picture and fingerprints before the ambulance arrives. He calls upstairs for Frank but settles for Tosh as Frank isn't in. Alec is concerned the man has harmed his wife and if they can find her, they might be able to save her. There's one massive problem. They've still no idea who he is. Tosh checks the drunk over and finds he has unusually long nails on one hand and calluses on the other so suggests he plays the guitar. "You're really getting somewhere now." Alec drawls. "A 40-odd-year-old guitarist who likes to get pissed!"

Malcolm arrives at the factory that Mr Carter worked at. The security man is no help as Mr Carter was nightshift. The office manager comes in early to speak to Malcolm who is frustrated about how long he's had to wait already. She delays the situation further by logging into her computer to explain the situation. She shows him the database of the worker's details, gesturing to the screen to show that she has both a John Carter and a Jack Carter who work the same shift patterns so the details have gotten confused. Malcolm calls into Sun Hill and tells them that they have notified the wrong wife for Mr Jack Carter. Tom contacts Ken and tells him what has happened. Ken is at a loss for what to do so Tom suggests just keeping her company whilst Christine arrives - but not to let on. "Let the Inspector do it!"

Tosh gives June the drunk's fingerprints to get processed and asks her for a list of local dentists. One dentist agrees to meet them at A&E to make a cast of the man's teeth incase the fingerprints aren't on file. Tosh asks Jim to help him by contacting the restaurant on the top of a receipt from the drunk's pocket to see if they remember him and can identify him and then asks him to get the photo Tony took processed in a hurry. "Use that 60-minute processor thing and then meet me at A&E." "Yes Detective Constable." Jim mutters under his breath - with the Constable sounding rather like something else and emphasis on the 'Count'!

Mrs Carter keeps asking Ken what happened to her husband. He tries to explain that there was a fall from a height without telling her that it wasn't her husband. She asks how that could have happened and he's at a loss for how to explain it. "You're very young." [21] She smiles sympathetically before asking him if he has a girlfriend - he does, it's a medical student called Michelle and it's serious. She takes a look at her wedding photograph and starts to cry again. Luckily Christine arrives and introduces herself before she starts to tell her that there's been a terrible mistake.... just as John Carter arrives home!

John Carter comforts his hysterical wife and is furious at the police for upsetting her 'without checking'. Christine calmly tells him that they were reliant on the information given to them by the factory. She apologises and explains that it was done in good faith. Mrs Carter shouts at her husband to 'let it go', after all, she'd have found out a lot sooner if he hadn't gone out for breakfast with colleagues before coming home.

At the hospital, the doctor attending to the drunk tells Tosh and the dentist that the man will survive his overdose but they can't see him for at least 2-3 hours until he comes around. The dentist suggests the hospital use a panoramic x-ray machine to x-ray his mouth and the doctor says he'll arrange for that to happen - but only when the man wakes up. He does allow the dentist to take note of the fillings.

Ken tells Christine that he'd rather do a double shift, without overtime payment, than do another next of kin message. "Greatest comeback since Lazarus!" Ken sighs, noting that Mrs Carter won't forget that day! "Neither will the other Mrs Carter...." Christine says, reminding Ken that they - or rather he - has another wife to inform...

Tosh strikes it lucky with a clue to identify the drunk. The dentist spots that he has a rather excellent - and not NHS - implant. It would have been very expensive (the equivalent value now would be approx £1.5K) and is done to an obviously high standard. It'd be likely that the dentist would remember him if it'd been done locally. Jim also has good news - the restaurant remembers the man being in with a woman that he treated to a slap-up meal - and several bottles of champagne - but the manager notes they sat there barely exchanging a word all night. Tosh asks Jim to tour the local pubs that have live music - particularly jazz - to see if any of the landlords recognise him.

Ken attends the next Mrs Carter's house. A neighbour tells him Mr Carter should be home 'later that morning' and Mrs Carter is due back soon after staying with her mum for a few days because the elderly lady had been 'a bit poorly'. The neighbour spots her - with 2 children - getting out of a taxi and points her out to Ken who approaches her to break the sad news.

CID and Uniform take the picture of the drunk around the local area where he was found, the pubs and dentists but find nothing until Tosh locates a private dentist who recognises the man. At the same time, Jim finds a landlord who recognises him as Dave Preston who occasionally plays with 'The Sloshbusters'(🤣🤣) The landlord and dentist both provide the man's address. Jim is pissed off to hear that Tosh has already called it in and is driving over!

They arrive at the same time and spot Mrs Preston (Played by Elisabeth Sladen) saying goodbye to her children. She invites the officers inside to hear that her husband is in hospital and that he'd been ranting things that made them concerned for her safety. Mrs Preston is adamant her husband wouldn't hurt her. [A point of note here is that they now call the husband Derek rather than Dave so I'm assuming the actor who played the landlord got the first name wrong!] Tosh explains that he never mentioned his wife by name or title, it was all 'she' so he asks if she knows of anyone else. She says that it's likely Amanda Beech - a woman he'd been having an affair with. She doesn't know where she lives but calls her husband's office and gets the address for them.

The Carters arrive at the station and inform Reg that they - or rather Mr Carter - want to make a complaint about what happened that morning.

The fire brigade helps Tosh and Jim break into Amanda's flat when there's no answer. Amanda runs inside a little while later and demands to know what has happened and why there are two men in her flat. Tosh has the unenviable position of having to explain what happened. Amanda calls Derek a stupid man and heads to see him in the hospital - his wife having refused to do so.

Jim is amazed that Tosh knew that the woman in question wasn't Preston's wife and asks how he could possibly know that. Tosh explains that the restaurant he was at was so expensive that a man wouldn't spend £120 on a meal with his wife there. "When you're married, Jim, you'll understand!"
