Complete story — includes the ending
A woman, Danielle Pearce ( Keisha Alfred ) is killed in a hit-and-run incident but detectives Goren and Eames believe that she was drugged and forced into the road where she would be hit by passing cars. As they examine the background to her death, they are led to Dr. Lindgard ( Kevin Tighe ) who signed Danielle's mother's death certificate and facilitated a speedy cremation. Further investigation leads to a pattern in the doctor's behavior and involvement in signing over 200 death certificates of mainly elderly women and arranged for their prepaid cremations to avoid autopsies. Digging deeper, the detectives discover Lindgard has an opiate addiction with his pharmacist ex-wife supplying the drug. Goren confronts him at a dinner party, exposing his addiction to both opiates and the need to exercise power over the life and deaths of his patients. Inspired by Harold Shipman murders.
