MEGAN:
Oh, hey!

-Hey.
-(over laptop): Hey.

I never thought I'd see the day.

Professor Jonah Mulray on Skype?

(chuckles):
Welcome to the 21st century.

(laughs)
Come on, I'm not that bad.

So, hang on,
let me get this straight.

Um, you're in Hong Kong,

but there's also
a small version of you

in this flickering box?

Oh, you should have
been born Amish.

(both laugh)

So, this is where you live,
is it?

Just-- sorry--
just to change the subject.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Want to have a look?

It's very glamorous, eh?

-Oh, very nice.
-Mmm, thank you.

So, did you, um,
did you like my note?

Y-Yeah, well,
more of a poem than a note.

Well... (clears throat)
What can I say?

I, uh, I felt inspired.

Yeah, it makes flowers
seem kind of lazy.

Well, that's because
I know how to be,

you know, romantic
in this relationship.

Nice poster, by the way.

-Yeah?
-Why, of all the things,

have you got that hanging
over your bed?

Um... because.

Because it was a good show.

-It was, it was.

Shit.

How did you find this place?

Lau. She told me.

JONAH: How often
do you think she came here?

DAVID:
How the hell should I know?

I didn't even know
about this place.

She used to call me from here.

She told me
it was where she lived.

The police gave me back
my phone.

With the voice mail.
But the end was cut off.

The sound of the gunshot,
they'd edited it.

I spoke to the pathologist.

He found a bullet wound
when he examined Megan.

She was shot in the heart.

He was paid to keep quiet.

Why would they lie?

There's a password.

(typing)

American passports.

What was she running from?

You think I'd be here if I knew?

I'm just trying
to make sense of it all.

There's a passport for Lau,
for Megan.

But not for you.

Don't you think that's strange?

All this is strange.

-(keys clacking)
-So things were fine

between the two of you,
were they?

There's something
you're not telling me.

She wanted to leave you.
Why? What did you do?

-She was running
from you, wasn't...?
-(hits table)

Do not accuse me again.

Okay?

(keys clacking)

Here, let me try.

Leave it.

Zero, seven, zero, five,

one, nine, six, one.

-What's that?
-My birthday.

Maybe mine?

May I?

(exhales)

How many more secrets?

Try the name on the passport.

Walker.

(typing)

(laptop chimes)

What?

JONAH:
Any luck?

DAVID:
Photos from her phone.

They must have uploaded
straight to the cloud.

JONAH:
When were these taken?

DAVID:
Image was last modified

on the 13th. 2:25 p.m.

Half an hour before the crash.

She's taken them from her car.

That's a rubbish truck.

JONAH: Is that the name
of the refuse center?

We need to find that truck.

I'm going to sleep here
from now on.

Why? Do you think
you will sleep better here?

-No change of clothes.
-Why do you care so much

if I sleep here or not?

And?

Your mother was hiding
two passports.

One in the name of Megan Walker.

The other one is for you
as Lau Walker.

Why?

She never said anything?

Anything about going away or...?

I don't understand, Dad.
What was she doing?

I don't know.

That message?

The one Mom left Jonah.

She sounded so scared.

She knew what was gonna happen.

She knew she was gonna die.

And she called him.

Doesn't that...
doesn't that piss you off?

All these years
we thought we knew her,

but we didn't know anything.

Before she died,
she wanted him, not us.

Sally Porter, right?

I looked you up

Michael Cohen.

I didn't think
you were gonna come.

What do you want?

I can't imagine
how hard this must be for you.

But like I said on the phone,

I'm not interested
in writing shit about Ben.

I liked him.

I just want to understand
what's going on.

So you said.

That's Ben with a woman
named Megan Harris.

She died in a car crash
a few days ago.

And then your fiancé.

That seem like a coincidence
to you?

SALLY:
What does it mean?

MICHAEL:
I don't know.

But I'd lay odds
that Ben didn't kill himself.

Is it so hard to make something
look like a suicide?

And so soon
after Megan's car crash.

I'm-I'm-I'm just not buying it.

Did Ben ever talk to you
about this Megan woman?

First I heard of her was...

a few days ago. I...

took her husband
to I.D. her body.

A few days later,

it went missing from the morgue.

Jesus.

You said
you knew what Ben was doing.

What did you mean by that?

Ben sold information to me
from time to time

when no one else would buy.

The kind of information
you'd find

in a Foreign Office briefing.

I had no idea.

I believe you.

I mean it, Ms. Porter.

I'm-I'm not here
to cause trouble.

But I've got two dead people
here within days

-of each other.
-I think we're done.

If Ben was killed,

don't you want to know about it?

That's my number
if you find anything.

Thanks.

Good morning, Mr. Mulray.

Mr. Bach, what am I doing here?

I heard about your wife.

Her passing.

About what happened to her body.

You won't be getting any sense
out of the police.

I've been here 20 years.

This place is as bent
as the day I arrived.

There's no way someone walked

into that morgue
without the police knowing

and getting paid
for their silence.

So what do we do about it?

Go over their heads.

Go to the man
who can do something about it.

Trust me, it's the only way
this bloody city works.

I was wondering,
would you go public with this?

Me?

About Megan?

Uh, and say what?

Just tell people
what's happened.

Give a human face
to the indignity of it all.

It might force the police
into action,

and it might get you
some answers.

Of course.

Um, I'll try anything,

Sure.

Thank you.
