they'll just assume

that I'm covering for him

and lock me up.

OK.

So what to do, Emma.

I'll leave.

You don't

have to tell anyone.

I don't want you to leave.

I can't manage by myself.

I want you to stay here

until I find a replacement.

Well, OK, then,

I'll stay.

Tomorrow morning

you will rise at six

and chop wood

till eight.

Then, prepare breakfast,

then,

you can clean this house

from top to bottom.

I'll make a list of all the jobs

that need to be done

on the land

and the out buildings.

If I see you idle

I will call Kevin.

If you lie to me again,

I'll call Kevin.

If you attempt to leave...

You'll call Kevin.

So you understand?

Yes.

Good.

Now, get back

to f***ing work.

[woman] OK,

let's crack on with it.

I don't know what

I'm looking at, sorry.

Try now.

Synesthesia,

stimulation in one sense

involuntarily activates another.

- In English.

- His senses mix up.

He can hear color

and see sound.

He also has spatial

sequence Synesthesia.

Where you see the number two,

Gabriel sees red.

Remembering long numbers

and specific dates becomes

considerably easier when associated

with certain colors and sizes.

So stop me

if I'm misunderstanding,

but what you're suggesting

is employ a freak

to catch a lunatic?

Well, I wouldn't quite

use those terms,

but yes,

there is some logic in that.

- Is it a problem, this synes...

- Synesthesia.

I mean, does it make life

difficult day to day?

No, he can cope with it.

Although, he does seem to have

issues with OCD.

His application form

is impeccable.

Can you give him medication?

I'm a criminal psychologist

not a psychiatrist.

I don't prescribe medication,

but I also don't necessarily see

his condition as

a disadvantage for the role.

He was head and shoulders

above the other candidates.

We need someone who can think

differently and he can do that.

Gabriel Lenard

is my recommendation.

Your call.

But he's your responsibility.

He reports personally to you.

[Gabriel, voiceover] I was born

in a 1930's London semi.

I did move out briefly,

but in the end, I had to go back

home after I was made redundant

as a local police detective.

I even lived with

a girlfriend for a while.

She insisted on washing

her hair in the sink

and clogging up the drain.

It was disgusting.

Made me gag.

In the end, I had to call out

a plumber to unblock it.

I don't know why you are still so

infatuated with these old books.

You spend all your time rearranging

them and they're still a mess.

No, need to shout.

They don't appear ordered to you

but I assure you there's method.

They also don't need dusting.

The room is spotless

without your assistance.
