[Dreary instrumental music]

So this is where
Annabel drowned.

December, 2008, this lake
was covered in two inches of ice,

so she must've
fallen through it.

Well how deep is it?

Oh, it's only six foot but
the cold and the shock,

means she wouldn't last
in there more than a minute.

Three days later
on Christmas day,

there was a thaw and a jogger
spotted her body in the water.

Jogging on Christmas day,
who is he, Billy nomates?

Who was the last
person who saw her alive?

Security guards saw her
leave the foreign office,

over there at about 5:30.

And nobody around here
saw or heard anything?

It was dark.

Yeah, but there was a
Christmas fair, wasn't there?

Yeah, 100 metres that way.

And drowning, doesn't
look like drowning.

What's that mean?

Well, 'cause you don't
scream and splash about.

See the bodies concentrating
solely on trying to breathe,

which is why most
people drown within

metres of another adult
who's completely oblivious.

[Cormorants grunting]

Didn't Walt Disney
freeze to death?

No, he died and was
cryogenically frozen.

And then stored under
what is apparently now

the pirates of the
Caribbean ride at Disneyland.

[Door opening]

Morning governor, coffee?

No, thank you.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Right.

[Minnie] Annabel, say
something to your baby.

- Is that her?
- Yeah, Annabel Tilson, 28.

She's a diplomat
in the foreign office.

Now it's November, 2008,

and Annabel is
eight weeks pregnant.

She's just told her
twin sister minnie,

who is doing the filming.

[Laughing]

Annabel's fiance, Eddie,
he's profoundly deaf.

[Laughing]

[Minnie] He's already bought

your first pack of baby clothes.

Three weeks later,
Annabel miscarried.

And one week after that,
her career hit the skids.

Because she lost a
government service laptop.

Correct, it was
stolen from her home.

As penance, she was stripped
of her prestigious diplomatic

posting to New York and demoted.

So this double whammy sent
her into a deep depression.

Now the following afternoon,

Eddie got a text from her
saying, "it's all pointless now,

so sorry, goodbye."

And that was the last
contact she had with anyone.

Suicide?

Thanks.

Well, that's what the original
investigation thought here.

So why did the coroner
go with an open verdict?

Well, her mobile
phone was never found.

And pathologists discovered
that she'd eaten pizza

during the final 10
minutes of her life.

It's not much of a last supper.

Finally there was slight
bruising on her arms

indicating a possible struggle
before she hit the water.

Alright, so what's
the ucos angle?

Well finding witnesses
and alibis was a nightmare.

Because of the cold, it was
impossible to narrow down

the etd from her
body temperature.

Also, there were
no sightings of her.

The past four years,
minnie has been checking

all the social network
and videos sites,

for any sign of her sister
during the time she disappeared.

And then finally, two days
ago, she came across this clip.

Posted by a family on an
evening out at St. James's park.

Look at the date.

That's the day Annabel
disappeared, and it's 17:58,

just half an hour
since she left her office

for the last time.

Now we're about 100 metres
from where her body was found,

what do you see?

[Bells chiming]

There.

Annabel with dinner for two.

- And on the menu?
- [Bells chiming]

Pizza.

The camera timer
is corroborated.

It matches a clock that
was also filmed at the fair.

So, assuming that she ate
the pizza while it was still hot,

we've got an
estimated time of death.

Between 6:00 and 6:30
on the 22nd of December.

A dinner partner, probably
killed her or knows who did.

No, she could still
have killed herself,

jumped through the ice.

The who sent the
suicide text the next day?

Well, that isn't any
proof of murder.

And the afternoon she died,

she was overheard having
a row at work with a boss.

So she was upset.

Could that have been what
tipped her over the edge?

No, no, no, I don't
think that you can-

now what you have here
is certainly interesting,

but isn't it all a
bit circumstantial?

We have several
cases on our books,

with a far more
concrete proof of murder.

What we have here sir,

makes it far less
likely to be suicide

and in my view, that's
enough to reopen the case.

Okay.

- [Knocking at door]
- [Eerie music]

- Minnie?
- [Door creaking]

Minnie.

[Footsteps pattering]

- Minnie?
- [Eerie music]

Oh, hello, you can
just give me a minute.

Yeah.

I can't hear the bell out here,

that's why I always
leave the front door open.

You have a very beautiful
house and garden.

Thank you.

"Plants are my home, my
career, and my children."

Annabel said that.

She was the one who had
boyfriends and travelled.

She'd bring back
cuttings for me.

This plant here, is
called the song of India.

Her first job in the foreign
office was on the India desk.

That olive came back
with her for Rome.

And that is a
Chinese money tree.

China was her last job.

Yes, it was.

I hope her interpreting is
better than her timekeeping.

Is this her?

- Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.
- [Heavily panting]

Oh, don't worry
about it, not a problem.

You must be the lovely Vera.

- Yeah.
- [Panting heavily]

Gerry standing, Brian Lane.

Hi, hello.

Shall we go in then?

Yeah, yeah.

- Lead on.
- [Beep]

In 2006, I got a job
at the foreign office.

That's when I met Annabel.

Her mother was deaf, so
she needed sign language.

And is that why you
were attracted to her?

No.

She made me laugh
and she was beautiful.

That's what attracted me.

Did you think
she'd killed herself?

No, Annabel wasn't
that kind of person at all.

But I knew she was very unhappy.

I blamed myself for
not seeing it coming.

And after that I
blamed her old boss.

Peter Hammond?

He ruined her Annabel's career,

that's what she told me anyway.

Over this stolen laptop?

She left our flat only
once to get some milk,

and that's when the
break-in happened.

It was like someone
was watching and waiting.

Hammond treated her
like she was the criminal.

That made her really unhappy.

We were actually
easy to tell apart.

Thank you.

We were such different people,

but we were very
close, twins often are.

And you never accepted
that she killed herself?

Annabel was a fighter.

She never quit
anything in her life.

That is why I am so
relieved to find that video.

So do you have any idea
who might have killed her?

I don't know anyone
who held a grudge,

but I think I know why?

Why?

Because of the laptop.

The one that was
stolen from her house?

The foreign office
told the press,

it held no sensitive
information,

but Annabel knew this was a lie.

She told you this?

Oh, we didn't need to
tell each other things.

It's a cliche, but in
our case it was true.

I sensed it.

There was some great
threat to national security

on that laptop and the
government were afraid

Annabel might reveal that.

Because she was angry at
how she'd been treated at work?

- Yes.
- So you're saying

she was silenced?

That's my belief.

- [Door opening]
- Say thank you to him for us.

Oh, hello?

We're just leaving.

- What was all that about?
- [Door closing]

He said, "I'm content with Gina,

but Annabel was
the love of my life.

Please find who did this."

That was very impressive.

Thanks, I need you
to sign this invoice.

All right.

[Car door unlocking]

I used to sign as
a child, you know.

- Really?
- Yeah.

You're inspiring
me to dust it off.

Am I?

- What's your name then?
- [Car door opening]

Just call me Gerry.

No, I mean in sign language.

[Birds chirping]

Nice to meet you Brian.

Bye.

- [Car door closing]
- Bye-bye.

Why do women always assume
i'm trying to get them into bed?

Search me.

[Car starting]

That was true what I
said about the signing.

- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I had a cousin
called Danny, well I still have,

and he was deaf, but
he had the best toys

and he had this
amazing train set.

So I learned to sign so i'd
be allowed to play with him.

What's happened to Danny then?

I haven't seen him
for years, decades.

Just lost contact,
you know how you do.

- [Car door opening]
- Oh, that's a shame.

It is actually.

[Car door closing]

[Door opening]

Well, he didn't
hang about, did he?

A new bird, and 1.5 children,

but what we couldn't
find was a motive.

Not only that, Eddie
wasn't even in London

when that video was shot.

He'd gone down to
his parent's house

in Devon for Christmas.

His dad had cancer.

Three watertight alibis

that he was on the 5:22 from
Waterloo which left on time.

And Annabel hadn't
even left work till 5:30.

Well, I think
that sister of hers

is a conspiracy theorist.

Yeah, but she probably knew
Annabel better than anyone.

What's that?

Basic guide to sign language.

Oh, he fancies a
bit of interpreting.

Really?

Well he fancies
a bit of something.

What?

Just look into the laptop
theft, will you Gerry?

Yeah, alright.

Go on then, give us a
bit of this sign language

you've been dusting off.

This is a well known
phrase or saying.

[Laughing]

[Lively music]

Sandra, Brian, sorry I
didn't hear the alarm.

Up late studying were we?

[Car engine revving]

So, who're we gonna
see at the foreign office?

Peter Hammond, and
why would that be Gerry?

To find out why he gave
Annabel such a bollocking

over that laptop.

Yeah and to ask him why
he was heard rowing with her

hours before we
think she was killed.

And I'm checking past
records with door security.

In his original statement,
Hammond reckoned he worked late

on December the
22nd, with Laura marsh.

And that's the
bird who got the job

in New York instead of Annabel.

And she was also her
best friend at university.

And that's who
you're seeing Gerry.

Oh, spiffing.

In my experience, two
cats in the same room

only mean one thing, a fight.

[Door opening]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Chuckles]

[Door closing]

I can't believe it.

So you were
friends at uni, yeah?

Yes, good friends, and here.

Well, since you were so close,

did you know she was pregnant?

I did actually.

She confided in me earlier on.

When was this?

November, she'd only
just found out herself.

I remember it was
just before she heard

she'd go to New York.

Yeah, did she
expect to get that?

New York?

God, not at all, she
had written it off.

She had terrible morning
sickness for the interview.

Getting it gave her a
lot of self-belief I think.

Then you took it away from her.

Peter Hammond took it from her.

Listen, what was on
that laptop that she lost?

I have no idea.

Why would that be
relevant to her death?

Well I was hoping you'd tell me.

Look, I'm sorry about
this, but where were you

between 5:30 and
7:00 on the evening

that Annabel disappeared?

I was in the office.

Peter Hammond needed
to edit my ministerial briefing

so it could go out
before Christmas.

Did you speak to
Annabel that day?

No, but I did pass
her in the corridor.

It was the day I
got confirmation

I was going to New
York in her place.

She blanked me.

I worried it was part of the
reason she killed herself.

Look, I've got a meeting with
a permanent under secretary.

But I'll certainly help if I
can, detective superintendent.

[Paper rustling]

Why would the met risk
muddying waters with this office,

again over Annabel Tilson?

We have evidence
Annabel was murdered.

Oh, I see.

Nice yacht, yours?

Yes.

Whatever happened
to civil service cutbacks.

My father was an astute
businessman and I'm an only child.

And you took a different path.

That was the plan, yes.

But sadly, these days,
there's only one show in town,

the prosperity agenda,

once you realise you're
just working for gb plc,

the whole thing starts
to feel rather grumpy.

You're obviously leaving.

Yes, in two days time.

Why is that?

I'm midway through a book

and my publisher
is getting restless.

So I'm taking early retirement.

Hope you don't mind
if we walk and talk.

Not at all.

[Footsteps pattering]

[Door opening]

Why did you row
with Annabel Tilson

on the day she disappeared?

The same reasons
I gave a week later

in my original statement.

Remind me.

Annabel had been moved
from China to the Norway desk,

but it was after she'd lost
the Washington posting

she got drunk,
completely lost it.

She made a very
public scene in here,

which everyone
heard, blaming me.

But you demoted her and
stripped her of her posting.

I made the recommendations, yes.

I derive no
satisfaction from them.

I'd written the reference

that got her the New
York job in the first place.

In my and many
other people's view,

Annabel was destined
for great things.

Then why turn against her?

Rules clearly state that a
government service laptop

cannot be left unattended
outside the building.

Annabel broke those rules.

And 2008 was a
particularly bad year

to lose an official laptop.

You will recall there
was a media witch-hunt

going on at the
time over data leaks.

Yet, Annabel was still allowed

to take a government
computer home?

Yes, part of a new
flexible working strategy.

Each desk was given
a shared secure laptop.

How much secret information
was on it when it was stolen?

None, the office ran an
internal security audit,

which concluded there was
nothing you wouldn't' have found

a week later in the
international section of the ft.

Come on.

This is an mi5,
detective superintendent.

Documents in the foreign office

rarely go above confidential.

I'd like to see a copy of
that security audit if I may?

I'm afraid that's confidential.

Handy.

Detective superintendent,

this insidious
line of questioning

does you and the
met no credit at all.

Now if you'll excuse me.

[Soft music]

Annabel's punishment
didn't fit her crime.

Hammond clearly rated her,

so why was he so happy
to make her a scape goat?

Maybe it was just very sexist.

I mean, forget about Washington.

No woman has ever got any
of the top ambassadorships,

Beijing, Paris, Moscow, nothing.

Even I was shocked.

No woman in the met has
ever made it to commissioner,

shocked by that too?

Fair comment, yeah.

Now Laura insists
there was no rivalry

between her and Annabel.

What'd you find out
about the laptop theft?

It was either bloody
unlucky or bloody suspicious.

Annabel had only
been gone 10 minutes.

Anything else taken?

Various electrical goods
and a bottle of whiskey

from Eddie's collection.

Fingerprints, DNA?

Nope, clean as a whistle.

The previous mob reckoned
it was a smokescreen.

What whiskey was it?

I don't know.

Well it might be relevant.

Oh, I'll tell you what is odd.

Annabel made two cash
withdrawals of £400 each,

on the 1st of December
and the 2nd of December.

Now that is very
out of character.

[Paper rustling]

What's this?

That is an updated
pnc check of anyone

who might have been in contact
with Annabel before she died.

What's this then?

Yang, it's in her diary
for the 2nd of December.

Well, I assumed it
was work-related,

it's something to do
with the China desk.

But this is her personal diary.

Hang on, 2nd of December

wasn't that when she
took out the money?

Yeah.

What is Yang?

[Door opening]

Sandra, can I have
a word please?

- Yes sir.
- [Door closing]

[Eerie music]

[Door banging]

Heavy handedness?

"Bull in a China shop."
Were his exact words.

With all due respect-

look, I have to pass
it on because the fco

has such significant
stakeholders.

Peter Hammond may be leaving,
but our ongoing collaboration

-on drugs and serious crime-
-i was exploring Hammond's

possible involvement in
the death of Annabel Tilson.

Oh really?

He claimed you're
accusing the fco of a coverup.

One of the theories
I'm looking into, yeah.

Based on what new evidence?

I understand there was a full
security audit of that laptop?

Yes, which would push
any potential cover up

further up the
chain wouldn't it?

- Oh come on, Sandra.
- Sir, in the current climate,

can the met honestly claim
that senior management

never hide dirty
secrets from the staff?

Just ease off the
throttle, Sandra.

This is not a
relationship to threaten

with half-baked theories, okay?

[Phone ringing]

[Brian] Ucos, Brian Lane.

Gerry, you busy?

[Brian] All right.

Yeah I thought I'd
go and see Eddie.

Talk to him about Yang
and that bottle of whiskey.

Okay.

Governor, look I know you
think that the foreign office

are involved in all this
and you might well be right.

That's correct.

All I'm doing is following
other avenues, just in case.

That's absolutely fine Gerry,

but Annabel was shafted
by the foreign office.

She was punished unfairly

and we can't dismiss that
without finding out why.

[Clicking]

Well, well, well.

[Laughing]

What's up with you
someone buy you a lolly?

No, even better than that.

That was fco door security.

On the night Annabel died,

Peter Hammond didn't
leave the office till midnight.

And Laura marsh worked late too,

but here's the thing,

she left the office at 5:30 pm
but she came back at 7:00 pm.

The little liar!

Which also means that,
Hammond could be covering for her.

Hammond's having
a retirement bash

at his house tonight will
speak to both of them there.

Oh no, I've got
caught match tonight.

No you haven't.

Sandra, you're gonna
clear this with strickland

why? I don't need his
permission to do my job.

[Dramatic music]

[Brian] So how do we do this?

[Sandra] How we usually do it.

We block Brian.

[Brian] I better
loose the scarf.

[Sandra] ] No,
keeping it perfect.

[Brian] Yeah.

[Sandra] Hello.

[Crowd laughing]

Finally, fine let
me quash rumours

I'm secretly plotting some
new career in finance.

My good friend, city
friend, Kingsley here

will vouch for my credentials.

I once told him there are
three kinds of economists.

Those with great maths,

and those with terrible maths.

[Crowd laughing]

That's enough from me.

-Hey, you- -thank you again-

- that's Laura marsh.
- So much for coming.

Can I ask you now to raise
your glasses to the queen?

[Crowd] To the queen.

[Crowd clapping]

[Indistinct chatter]

I think this calls for trespass,
detective superintendent.

We just like a quick word.

You've been lying to us.

I don't want to embarrass you.

Laura marsh popped
out of the foreign office,

just before Annabel died
which wasn't in your statement.

I hope that is not what
you've come here with.

You're her alibi.

If she popped out, how
would I have known?

We work in different rooms.

I really don't want
this to get ugly.

Please get out of my house.

Deep breathe Brian.

- Sir.
- Sir.

Brian, Sandra,

new evidence.

[Indistinct chatter]

Laura marsh was out of the
building when Annabel died.

So we've come to speak to her
and her alibi, Peter Hammond.

And the reason this cannot
wait until the morning is?

We can't be sure
where he'll be tomorrow.

Not only is the
foreign secretary here,

but I'm also in conversation
with the director of mi5.

I cannot afford to be
even slightly embarrassed.

That won't happen, trust us sir.

You are on thin eye Sandra.

Tread bloody carefully.

[Footsteps pattering]

Look, I know this is hard,

but can we talk
about the miscarriage?

It was a few days
before the 12 week scan.

I was at a conference.

She texted me and said she
was having stomach cramps.

She told me she
was in the bathroom

and there was blood everywhere.

I came right back of course.

But I knew...

I just knew.

It must've been very traumatic.

Yeah, that was interesting.

- [Exhales]
- Bye then.

All right, oh Vera.

Yeah.

I want to dig up my
elephant with you.

No, I thought was saying

I want to practise
my signing with you.

That took me hours.

Its not easy, is it?

No is it not.

What are you after, honestly?

I've got a cousin Danny,

and he is deaf I wanna
go and see him again.

Is that all?

Yes, honestly.

Okay.

But trust me, I'm
doing it for your cousin.

[Soft music]

[Indistinct chatter]

Done.

No thank you.

Hello.

Sorry, have we met?

No, but you've met our
colleague Gerry standing.

On the night of
Annabel, Tilson's murder,

where were you really,
between 5:30 and 7?

I went to Harvey
next to knightsbridge.

And then I came
back to the office.

Why?

I bought salmon and champagne,

to celebrate getting New York.

So you and Peter
Hammond lied to us.

Check with my bank, I
paid for them by card.

Beside the point,
you still could have got

to St. James park.

Is not looking good
for you, not at all.

I know, that's why I lied.

Nobody drinks
champagne on their own.

She shared it with her
lover, Peter Hammond.

What I don't get is, if you
and Herman were lovers,

why were you celebrating
going 3000 miles away

for four years?

Because he'd ended it.

And I was pretending
I was fine with that.

[Laughing]

I told him I wanted on
Annabel's New York's job.

He told me that
was out of his hands.

So I told him to sort it
or I'd phone, his wife.

My heart just...

If I couldn't have him,

I was gonna make
bloody sure, I had a career.

Was this before or after
Annabel lost the laptop?

Before.

So the burglary was
good news for you?

Yes.

What's your relationship with
Herman been like ever since?

I've been his shack body?

Here's why pathetic, I am.

He gave me this in New York,
Chinese geed, fake of course.

But I thought I'd wear
it tonight just in case.

[Laughing]

Let me rescue Laura.

I thought you two were
leaving 10 minutes ago.

Well, you know what's its
like when you get chatting

at these doors, Peter?

Are we done?

For now.

[Footsteps pattering]

I just had a way with your boss.

Don't think he's
very happy with you.

He'll be delighted when
he hears how forthcoming

Laura marsh has been.

Lover boy.

I can't talk here.

Where?

I'll come to you
tomorrow afternoon.

We'll expect you at 9:00 am.

[Footsteps pattering]

Super-duper Peter.

What's it like
Pullman still crawling

through the cracks of your age.

Answer the question.

No.

Having Laura
around wasn't ideal,

but she'd have got posted
somewhere eventually.

That's what happens
in the foreign office.

So she blackmailed you,

get her New York or
your wife gets a phone call.

Drivel.

Why would she
come out with that?

Hell hath no fury,
detective superintendent.

Annabel's punishment
was disproportionate.

You know that.

This is a police investigation
or a performance review.

For Annabel to
lose that posting,

you had to
discredit her quickly.

So in that light,

the laptop theft suddenly
looks a bit convenient.

Did you just imply what i-

she did.

What if you're not
gonna take me seriously?

Annabel, it's just
that your affair.

And she threatened
to expose you.

So to protect your marriage
and probably your career too,

you had to act.

Why don't you not do
some bloody police work?

Check with door security.

We have officially, you stayed

in the building till midnight.

But you and I both now
have persuasive rank can be.

Not in my office Pullman.

[Eerie music]

Watch out.

Oh, you're there.

Have you found out
what Yang means?

Well yes and no.

Annabel ordered a new kitchen
worktop in early December.

Eddie said that the fitter was
either Chinese or Japanese

what he thought
was odd at the time.

He also admitted that they
quite often paid cash in hand.

Oh, the cash withdrawal, okay.

Oh, I also had to look at
Eddie's whiskey collection.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, it would have
made you weak mate.

Apparently the solum bottle
was called Glenn Wallace.

I'd never heard a bit,

but Eddie said it
was really special.

Glenn Wallace.

Oh, here we go.

No, it's a highly
esoteric tipple is that.

Is it.

They went out of business,
unfortunately in the '80s.

Big prices now.

So the burglar got lucky.

[Chuckles]

Certainly did, Tony symes.

Oh, Tony symes.

I nicked him back
in the early '90s.

He only ever mixed up two
older commissions he called it.

He though he was
bloody burglary aristocracy,

but you didn't know about
his whiskeys, I'll give him that.

Well, is he still at it?

Well I as I know he's
been strict for years, but-

lets bring him in.

This definitely smells that.

[Car engine revving]

Where are you going?

- Brian.
- [Dramatic music]

Brian!

Shit.

Tony symes, ceo, symes inc.

Bespoke commercial,
counter-intelligence.

Your secrets will
be safe with us.

So where's the met leak,
and how big do you hole?

[Chuckles]

This is very respectable.

The last time I saw
you, you're being thrown

into the back of a Van
down for the scrubs.

I've been clean for
years, Brian, as you know.

Have you read
"the power of now"?

No

You should, changed my life.

Especially the chapter
about not looking back.

Do your clients know
you've done time, twice.

"It does not matter
whether it is a black cat

or a white cat.

As long as the cat
catches the mouse."

Xi jinping, the
president of China.

Very true.

What's this about gents?

A government laptop
stolen in late 2008,

from a flat in southwick
belonging to a diplomat.

The commission's got your name,

edge through it like
Brian bloody rock.

Well, as I've said-

it needed to be clinical.

It needed somebody
with your pedigree.

Well, I hope you
cut more than that.

I mean, I was bloody good,
but there were other people

in my field of work.

Glenn Wallace.

Never heard of him.

Oh, come on Tony.

It was stolen with the laptop.

Someone got lucky, didn't they?

Only somebody like
you would have noticed it.

A rare slip I reckon.

Strictly mineral water
these days Brian.

You know it's three
and out now, don't you?

I mean, we pin this on you.

You go down automatically.

And the doors to
syme's inc shook

bloody tight if that happens.

So why don't you just
tell us who hired you?

Well, sorry gents,
business calls.

[Door opens]

Think about it, Tony.

[Door closes]

Guilty.

We just need more leverage.

Problem is even if symes
did need that laptop,

we still haven't got
a motive for murder.

How about this?

Symes stole the laptop,

for someone secretly representing
the Chinese government.

Annabel knew there was a
threat to national security on it.

The foreign office
told her to keep quiet,

but because she was off,

she threatened to
blow the whistles.

As someone, somewhere in
government had to do the dirty.

That's what minnie said.

Exactly.

Yeah, it all sounds a
bit more credible now.

Does it?

Where we didn't think
were being followed before,

now I've had a double sighting.

I can hardly see mi5 sending
out a banged up old Chrysler

to keep an eye on us.

Double bluff?

Anyway, without
registration details,

there's not a lot we
can do about that.

I'm sorry about
this, but I still think

we're focusing too much
on trying to find a motive

inside the foreign office.

Really?

'Cause I think we're
getting somewhere.

I want one of you
to go and see minnie.

She thinks she's
got something for us.

I'll go.

Maybe she's getting a
sisterly vibe from afterlife.

Where are you off to?

Laura marsh, she called too.

Arghh.

I'm not sleeping,

I keep thinking about Annabel,

the timing of her losing that
laptop always bugged me.

Even when I thought
she'd taken her own life.

But no.

It security gave me access,

but I absolutely did
not show it to you.

[Bus engine revving]

Look who took the laptop
home the day before Annabel.

[Bus engine revving]

Peter Hammond.

He hardly ever borrowed it.

I wondered if it
could be relevant.

If Hamilton copied some
files from his desktop

onto the laptop, would
that show up in here?

Yes. He transferred
around 40 files.

40, what was in them?

There's only lists file
reference numbers.

See the files you'll need
to make a formal request

through our lawyers.

[Footsteps pattering]

He asked to meet me.

Peter, the day after the party.

He wanted to know
what I told you.

And he wanted this back.

He suddenly decided it could
compromise our relationship.

I told him where to go.

He got quite abusive,
what a romantic.

So now, I'm wearing it,
all the time and praying

I bump into him.

May I?

Who told you it was fake?

He did.

And he gave it to me.

Do you mind if I
have it looked at?

I've been going
through Annabel's things.

It's a long time
since I did that,

I found this, it's a post it.

Dry £765, stuck on east London.

I texted Eddie,
he's got no idea.

I wondered if it was
still with the money

that Annabel took out.

Do you know if she had
any contacts in east London?

No.

No thanks.

Yeah, I would
definitely look into that.

Oh, were you pleased
about Annabel's pregnancy?

Oh, yes.

Any kids of your own?

No, no.

And that's never
going to happen.

It's hardly too late.

Have you heard of
the early menopause?

Oh yeah, yeah, vaguely.

I was 27.

Oh, oh I'm sorry.

No, so a nephew or niece
would have been very special.

You know when
Annabelle miscarried,

it felt a bit like, she
lost my baby too.

Is that weird?

Okay, so you think that
Peter Hammond put these files

on that laptop knowing that
Annabel was gonna take it home.

And then he arranged
for it to be stolen.

Yeah, by Tony symes.

Why on earth would
Hammond want to do that?

That's the problem,
I don't know.

Unless he needed to
get those particular files

out of the building.

And he used a laptop,
as a kind of trojan horse

to smuggle them out.

Yeah, but why?

He couldn't have carry them
out, security was too tight.

Wait, so now you're
saying that Hammond

could have been spying as well?

Possibly, yeah.

Possibly.

Sir, the secret to Annabel's
death lies in that building

and I am convinced
the files hold the keys.

So please just sign
off on this request.

Let me think about it.

[Telephone ringing]

She's not happy.

It's not surprising.

Yeah, potentially
career defining moment.

And strickland's playing
top flop politics with her.

I can't find any of Annabel's
contacts on this page.

Well, anyway, dry is
a computer acronym.

Don't repeat yourself.

It's also an album
by a certain pj Harvey.

No, we're not getting anywhere.

If anyone ask, I've
gone to a jewellers.

[Door clanking]

I have this looked at
and it's worth £80,000.

So I guess that's
why he wanted it.

No, he could never
have afforded this.

He's loaded.

Everyone falls for it,
that house, the yacht,

everything belongs to his wife.

She's the one with the wealth.

Peter just has his
okay, civil service, wage

and massive status anxiety.

And his inheritance.

Guess where Peter's father
invested the family silver?

Lehman brothers.

Peter was left with nothing.

He let it slip one night

and then begged
me to keep it quiet.

I knew he had no money.

Why would he spend
£80,000 on me?

Maybe he cared
more than you thought.

[Phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Sir. [Door opening]

[Door closing]

[Paper rustling]

Sandra.

What's going on?

Hammond's files.

And the deal was, the
documents can't leave the building.

I never wanted to stop you
doing your jobs, Sandra come on.

Lets see if your hunch is right.

- [Dramatic music]
- [Paper rustling]

There's nothing in
here that's secret,

its not even confidential.

Nothing, wouldn't find
a week later in the ft.

No.

What was that all about China?

UK telecom's firm 4mobile

about to sign a
billion pound deal

with the Chinese government
to supply satellite kits.

Yeah, this one's
about same deal.

It's from our
embassy in Beijing.

"We've heard about an 11th
hour pitch by French rival,

debut telecoms, I'm
suspect, the UK deal

might be in trouble."

What's the date of that tell?

6th of December.

The day before Annabel
borrowed their laptop.

Well they were
right to be worried,

the deal collapsed
two days later.

Well hang on, if you
have that information

before the markets.

Yeah, and you bought a shed
load of debut telecoms shares.

Insider trading.

[Door opening]

Okay, according to the fsa,

there was general speculation
on debut telecoms that week,

but nothing suspicious.

But you can also make
money from a falling share price,

it's called shorting.

Shorting, even sounds dodgy.

That week, a hedge fund
manager named Kingsley wilton

sold a significant volume
of four mobile shares

at their market high,
on the 7th of December,

when the deal looks solid,

and bought them back,
when they hit rock bottom

four days later.

He must've made a fortune.

Wello, there's an
article about wilton.

Yeah, it says he suffered
badly, in the financial crisis

since he gambled
everything he had

on the 4mobile collapse.

But since then, Mr. Walton
has become red hot.

Oh, and there's a photo too.

Bloody hell that's syme's mate.

How do you know?

He was at Hammond's
retirement due.

What?

Kingsley wilton,
he's going to prison.

And if I were you, I'd talk.

The data on that laptop
made him a multimillionaire.

How much did you get Tony?

Few hundred quid.

Doesn't seem fair to me.

That's a travesty.

If he mentioned
your name, first,

you're gonna end up doing
three years, wiping up his slops.

I see.

[Soft music]

The fsa have arrested
your charm, Kingsley wilton.

Fascinating.

They've also identified an off
shore account in your name,

in believe which has
received cash flow from wilton,

since December, 2008.

That account currently
holds, well over £4 million,

the fsa are waiting outside,

but it's Annabel Tilson's
murder we're interested in.

Laura marsh had to
get that job in New York

to keep her quiet.

And for that to happen,
you had to discredit Annabel.

You were also
desperately in need of cash.

So the theft of the laptop

gave you two for
the price of one.

But Annabel got suspicious.

She discovered what
files you transferred.

And like us put two
and two together

and came up with corruption.

And that's what the
argument was about.

She was on to you.

She was threatening
to expose you.

So you killed her.

How on earth could she
have retrieved those records?

She wasn't senior enough.

Like you say she was bright.

She had a found a way.

Annabel Tilson knew nothing.

And since you can't put me

outside the building
at the time she died,

I doubt a jury will.

I liked Annabel.

I didn't murder her.

I'm genuinely relieved,
she didn't kill herself.

Maybe positive to
come out of this is that,

I no longer feel any
guilt over her death.

We started out with
murder and solved a fraud.

But what about Laura
marsh's bracelet?

It's how Hammond hid his money.

He used Laura as a
kind of human safety box.

Kingsley wilton's
alibi has worked out,

the night Annabel died,

he was in his hotel
suite in Singapore.

However, on a brighter note,

the fsa are delighted with
your work, so well done, really.

I don't know.

We solve a huge case for them,

and get a poxy bottle
of Bulgarian carver.

We've officially moved
from recession to depression.

Isn't there still fraud though.

Them buying us booze.

Oh, shut up and
drink your juice.

That video clip is
now the only evidence

driving a murder
investigation, I'm all right?

Well, no, no.

We've got an a to z with
a random post-it note in it.

Annabel did not
kill herself, sir.

Sandra, for all your endeavours,
I think he might be time

for ucos to commit its
resources to something else.

No, it's not who she was.

[Soft music]

I've got a senior
management meeting upstairs.

Have a think about it.

Yeah, cheers.

[Door opens]

Well, has anyone
got any bright ideas?

'Cause at the moment we're
getting absolutely nowhere.

Yeah, I think we should go
back to the facts of the case,

which is why, if you don't mind,

I'm going back to the
scene of the crime,

I'll see you later.

[Door opening]

Yes, hey, hey. [Shouting]

Justin transport
for London records

showing Annabel's oyster
card usage in the weeks

before she died.

Annabel never went
near that page of the a to z.

We'd work that out, Brian, yes.

Except she did once,
December the 3rd,

the day of a miscarriage.

She took the tube to chigwell

and from there she
got on a w20 bus.

Now the thing is, there are
no hospitals along that route,

however, there is one
medical establishment,

not far from chigwell station.

Abortion clinic.

Yeah.

[Dramatic music]

So is that what
abortion costs then?

£765.

I wouldn't know thankfully.

Of course we still don't
know what dry means.

Don't worry, Brian, i'm
prepared for another dead end.

Oh, my good god.

[Indistinct]

[Engine revving]

Awesome, just after 10:00 am.

Well I've just had a word
with the clinic administrator.

She was pretty sure all the
computers were destroyed.

However, she'd already
backed them up off site.

It turns out Annabel
did their visit here,

on the 3rd of December,
2008 at 2 P.M.

She was seen by
Dr. Yang, Dr. Y, d-r-y, dry.

Oh, well, someone
obviously didn't want us

to find that out, did they,
they must have panicked.

Gerry.

[Cormorant granting]

Starting to come back.

Well, I think it was
watching all those interviews

you did with Eddie,
that must've helped.

Oh no, that's a point.

Can I ask you about
that last interview?

Yeah, go ahead.

Well Eddie said he was
sure that the kitchen worktop

was laid by an Asian, right?

Its true, yeah.

But then he said,
he thought it was,

like, it was a stammer.

Yeah, he did.

I wonder, why?

Thank you.

That was the crime squad,
a witness has come forward,

who spotted a car, driving
away from the clinic at speed,

just after 10:00
am this morning.

Registration?

No, only the year, but they
did get the make and colour.

A green Chrysler sunbeam.

I'll run a search on, it
shouldn't take a moment.

[Keyboard cluttering]

So for a 1998, lime
green Chrysler sunbeam,

we have, 17 possible
hits in London.

Oh. [Exhales sharply]

[Eerie music]

Minnie.

What's happened.

Annabel had an
abortion, not a miscarriage.

What?

Where were you this morning?

I had some time off.

So I went to sissinghurst castle
to look around the gardens.

How did you get there?

In my Van.

Anyone go with you?

No.

Did you meet anyone there
who might remember you?

No, look, I, I didn't
burn down that clinic.

Of course, I didn't.

I know because
you're a good person

and all life is precious to you.

Yes.

But here's why I think you
did burn it down, minnie.

You got scared.

Of what?

You've always known
Annabel had an abortion.

How?

Because she owned up to you

and said, "James is
part of that, she'd got rid

of her child."-

no way.

To push your sister through
the ice and let her die,

well, that must've
been a really tough thing

for a good person like
yourself to live with-

no please, stop it-

that you've confessed, that
takes more than goodness.

That takes guts.

Grunted, you came halfway,
you found enough evidence

for us to reopen the case,
and when we got stuck,

you even dropped
us up a few crumbs-

no, no please-

but when we were closing
on the abortion clinic,

then you change your
mind because the reality

of going to prison hit
you and you panicked.

And you know what I understand?

No, no, no, enough.

[Suspenseful music]

You've got it all wrong.

I'm still trying to
understand how my sister

could have murdered
her child. [Crying]

Cool, what a pair, right?

Who?

Eddie and Anabel,
he's earth to her fire.

Sounds like it
worked pretty well.

And maybe she appreciated
his calming influence.

'Cause she had a
terrible temper, you know?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

She had an argument,
you could hear it all over

the foreign office.

[Chuckles]

There's a point, drowning
doesn't seem like drowning,

but an argument
sounds like an argument,

even a hundred metres away.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I've got to get back
to the office right now.

Can I give you a lift somewhere?

No, no, its fine.

- You're sure?
- Yeah, yeah.

All right, then.

I'm sorry, Vera,

we will meet again.

- [Chuckles]
- [Cormorants granting]

[Suspense music]

Governor, we've
missed something.

Now, people love ogling
public arguments, right?

And we know that
when Annabel at Earl,

she made a right racket, yet
no one in St. James's park,

reported hearing anything.

Why?

Because it was silent.

Sign language.

[Slow music]

Minnie, sorry.

Has anyone borrowed
your car recently?

Who?

Well, we don't know.

Maybe someone
you lent it to before.

Eddie borrowed it to
pick up his daughter

from nursery once.

When

about three weeks ago,
his car was being repaired.

Thank you.

This way, please.

[Floor creaking]

[Door opening]

Eddie found out
about the abortion.

He her at St. James's park.

He confronted her
with this discovery.

Completely lost it and then
pushed her under the ice.

Yeah, but why follow us?

To chat that we went
onto the abortion.

He knew that was the
only way it could be caught.

Yeah, and then when
minnie handed in the a to z,

we started asking
questions about fang, Yang.

He panicked and
burnt down the clinic

no, no wait, there
are two problems here.

First of all, it's
circumstantial-

we can search Eddie's house.

Yeah, but that's
not the issue, is it?

' Cause we've always
known that Eddie

couldn't have killed
Annabel at 6:00 pm.

'Cause he was already
on the train to exeter.

Why don't we go to Devin.

Break his alibi.

[Suspense music]

[Train whistle trumpets]

[Suspense music]

Okay, thank you very much.

[Suspense music]

Anything?

Eddie's mum swear
that she saw the 522 train

from Waterloo arriving at 8:55.

[Electric train chooing]

He watched his son get off it.

Yeah, well, Eddie's mates
swear blind that they saw Eddie

and his mom walk into
the car park just after 8:55.

So the alibi is solid.

He caught up bloody train.

[Metal clanking]

That's it then the
end of the line.

Someone burned down that clinic

and someone's been
following us in minnie's car.

Yeah, I don't know,
coincidence, speculation.

Come on Gerry,
Annabel was murdered.

You know it, I know it.

All I do know is you're
seeing what you wanna see,

in this bloody case.

Sandra, Sandra.

[Dramatic music]

See, lets watch these two girls.

Totally disappeared.

Now what if Eddie was
already in that shelter,

when the 522 came in?

And all his mom saw,

was him coming out of there,
and walking up the stairs.

So she saw what
she expected to see.

That's her boy now

[train whistle trumpet]

She confessed to
the ultimate crime,

killing your baby.

When you say she
died, I was on a train.

I don't think so.

Waterloo may be the
nearest station to your house,

but the fastest trains to
exit early from Paddington.

So after you killed Annabel,

you jumped on a
tube and struck lucky.

A train left at 6:40 pm and
arrived at exeter at 8:50.

Once there, you
hid for five minutes

until the Waterloo
train arrived.

And then your mum saw
you walk over the footbridge.

Your alibi was safe.

You have no proof of this.

Found in your house an hour ago,

a duplicate key to
minnie's Chrysler.

So you watched the
woman, you loved drown,

and you did nothing.

[Soft music]

I wanted...

I wanted her to look
at me and tell me,

she hadn't killed our baby.

[Soft music]

She looked away.

Everything went black.

[Soft music]

The next thing, she
was in the water,

looking at me.

Those eyes.

I hated her.

[Telephone ringing]

I'm really sorry
that we had to jump

to the wrong conclusion in
order to reach the right one.

I really believed
they loved each other.

[Door opening]

Well, I think they did.

No, my sister acted selfishly.

And broke his heart, and
he chose to watch her die

and live with that
terrible secret.

That's not love, that's got
anything to do with love.

I wish I'd never
found that video.

Why don't you
take some time off?

You know, change the scene.

And I already
will be in trouble.

[Door clanking]

Bye.

[Footsteps pattering]

That was quite
impressive, Gerry.

Thank you governor.

I think you're ready
to visit your cousin.

Oh thank you.

And also thank you for seeing
beyond your first impression.

What first impression?

[Dramatic music]

Sir.

Your instincts were
spot on about Annabel

and about the foreign
office of course, well done.

I also missed, a double
sighting of minnie's car,

which slowed down
the investigation.

You solved not one
but two cases here.

And that is an attack on the
clinic could have been fatal.

Yeah, but it wasn't.

Do you know, I used to
think I was unstoppable

in this job.

First female commissioner, even.

Just like Annabel, I
thought it was all possible.

And with this case you
wanted to show the met

that you still had it?

No, no, no, I've
hit my ceiling here,

I know that and
I've dealt with it.

No, I wanted to
prove it to myself.

And did you?

Not really no.

Well for what it's worth.

You proved yourself
to me years ago.

You could still get
Washington you know.

Now, for me I'd like
to buy you all drink.

No, thanks very much.

- Sandra.
- Yeah, okay.

Already booked, I'm afraid.

Okay.

- See you tomorrow.
- Ta-da.

Ooh, Vera.

Danny.

Oh, your cousin?

Yeah, I skyped him?

Yeah, all the...

Yeah. I mean the picture
quality, wasn't very good.

But now we got on like house
on fire, bought him a present.

You said he was into trains?

No, no, he it the planes now.

I bloody hope what he said.
