S02E05 The Dead Businessman
Episode Overview
Doctors Joanna Stevens and Roz Parker face a challenging ethical situation following the shocking murder of businessman Geoff Hart, whose charred remains are discovered in his car deep in the woods. During surgery, Hart's daughter Susan confides in Roz that she committed the crime, but Roz, prioritizing patient confidentiality, refuses to inform the authorities. Despite Joanna and Dangerfield's pleas for her to reveal the truth, DI Ken Jackson pressures Roz, threatening her with arrest. Sticking to her principles, Roz stands firm, leading Dangerfield to coax a confession from Susan. However, in an unexpected turn, Susan's mother, Jenny, also confesses to protect her daughter. With both confessions being identical and insufficient evidence to charge either woman, DI Jackson, Joanna, and Dangerfield hold Roz accountable for her silence, leaving her deeply troubled by their accusations.
