Ep 11. Duty of Care

Detectives Ronnie Brooks and Matt Devlin investigate the death of a woman named Patricia who was under the care of social services. Patricia was severely disabled and had been living in a care home. She died from a seizure, and the detectives have reason to believe that her death could have been prevented.

The care home she resided in was owned by a company called Focus Care, and the detectives uncover that there have been numerous complaints about the quality of care provided by the company. The detectives suspect that neglect and lack of training could be the root cause of Patricia's death.

As the investigation progresses, Brooks and Devlin meet with the head of Focus Care, Lenny, who does not seem to be taking the matter seriously. It becomes apparent that Focus Care is more concerned about their public image than providing adequate care to their residents.

The detectives also question Patricia's social worker, who they believe did not take appropriate action in response to the complaints and concerns raised about Patricia's care.

Meanwhile, Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel and his team are preparing for the trial of two young men involved in a carjacking that resulted in the death of a woman. As the trial progresses, Steel becomes convinced that one of the defendants is not guilty, and he is torn between his duty as a prosecutor and his obligation to do what is right.

In the end, the investigations into Patricia's death and the carjacking come to a head, and it becomes clear that there are multiple individuals who failed in their duty of care. The question remains whether justice can be served and whether changes will be made to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
