Rose, I want you to know that I wrote that letter.

I reported you.

But I didn't give it to the press.

Don't embarrass yourself, Chambers.

In light of these allegations, not only were multiple witness statements deemed

inadmissible, but the electronic messages upon which the Crown built its

prosecution were obtained without a warrant. I can only apologise to the

and their families.

The police have let you down.

Mr Hooper, you are a free man.

You may apply to court to cover your cough.

traffic that's not your bike i don't want to freak you out mom but i think

in there well that's it listen piece of loony bin psychiatric facility

you. I can't live my life in fear of getting hugged. Oh, that's what you're

afraid of.

Not the guy you busted for killing three lads with a claw hammer. Brick hammer,

stinking man's claw.

Didn't mind pinning him down, disarming him.

Loved it.

And you know, you're okay.

You have more people asking me if I'm okay. Hey, I'm mindful now.

Got three meditation apps and a key of ayahuasca back at the flat. I'm good.

I'm not going to get triggered next time I hear MC Hammer.

Look. Do you have a bike?

That's back thing. Well, probably not.

Hey. Hi, Neil.

The elevator's not great, but stairs are horrific.

Hmm. These are the other way around.

It's not necessarily significant. Just an observation.

Oh, milk.

Thank you. How about?

I'm going to make a podcast out of this one.

After you, ma 'am.

The right leg belongs to a black male, the left leg to a Caucasian female, the

right arm to an East Asian female, the left arm to a Caucasian male, a

male torso, and a Caucasian male head.

Well, it's not the strangest thing I've ever seen.

Top ten?

Seventh.

Remember the dead man alone in the locked panic room?

Oh, yeah, he was great.

He was my top three from the sheer book.

Clean cuts.

Post -mortem?

Doring. All the limbs were frozen. The torso and head are fresh.

What are we calling this guy?

Loco Chanel?

Izumiaki. Tommy Killfingers.

Michael Cole.

The Prada murderer?

You've got to work your chat.

What is that?

Mints. I got it from the cafe.

It's a thing in Morocco, when you visit a leather work, the cowhide smells.

I looked in a drug store, but all the mentholated products contained palm oil.

I'm trying to go a year without buying it. I thought the biggest issue would be

shampoo.

Emily.

You deserve no lying.

Hooper. Mark Hooper?

The cremation killer.

Now, that's an example of a lazy nickname, because usually you get

after you're dead, so it underplays what a massive wanker Mark Hooper actually

was.

But isn't Hooper in prison?

Let's find out.

Lemon juice. Leave it in five minutes.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. I'm taking a moment to acclimatize.

From my head, New Jersey's filled with mobsters doing horrible shit.

Well, I was a cop in my hometown, like a college town. We had a female mayor, a

lot of craft beer. The violence was mostly economic.

Sarah, it was quiet. Why'd you move?

I met a British post -grad.

She was leaving at the end of the semester, and I was like, if not now,

And then I... I spent three years over here listening to my professors talking

about politics, and I realized this is what they're going to do for the rest of

their lives, just to talk.

Women from the non -profit space still struggle to be heard, unless they have

experiences which speak to conservative preconceptions of what constitutes a

good leader. And your solution to that is you're going to catch a serial

Well, they're universally unpopular.

Even other white dudes are like, hmm, no, he's not with us.

Very sure of yourself.

Actually, very self -critical, because I know my potential more than anyone.

So, would you and Rose always vibe?

Well, he was my D .I. to start with. But did he always have your back?

With the other guys in the unit? Yeah, I know it's blokey, but it's not Lord of

the Flies. You're doing fine.

Anyway, being Rose's mate was a cacophony. but he was never charged for

assault on Mark Cooper. Rose was suffering from PTSD.

He made a full recovery.

Well, he was released. They're very different things.

I've got to take this, Miss Simmons.

Will you start without me?

It's something he ate.

What, like a bad oyster?

I thought prison food was 80 to 95 % carbs.

He died Thursday in the prison canteen. That's all I know.

And before you attempt to be willy, these are for Baxter and her claw hammer

chap. A brick heller. Very different.

You think they'll handily get a murderer consecutive life sentences and they'll

treat you like Mariah Carey?

Technically, it's a serial killer.

Well, that pressure on you should be higher. Three kills.

It's fairly as free.

Any luck on the landlord? He sub -led the flat to a bloke online.

No pen, cash, envelopes in the letterbox.

Well, I got some juicy clues.

The scar on the left arm, that's from an op. He's getting X -rayed.

And the right arm comes with a surprisingly good tattoo of a

And then there's old BBC.

Hooper was killed by tetrodotoxin, a naturally occurring neurotoxin.

you get it in bluefish.

I did notify your unit liaison.

D .I. Chambers?

He's on leave.

That'll be why, then.

We need to speak to all your staff and all the prisoners who ate in the canteen

the day Hooper died.

Wait, what are you talking about? Well, I'm assuming you haven't had multiple

fatalities, which means someone in here specifically targeted Hooper. No.

Mark Hooper had recently become the only vegan in maximum security.

Oh, was that part of a rehabilitation program?

He was a sociopath.

He just wanted to feel special.

I'm guessing his food had to be prepared off -site. A great expense.

Makes you want to bring back hanging.

That's why it rings a bell.

There's that episode of The Simpsons. Homer's never eaten sushi before. He

poisoned by a blowfish. I've never really seen the show.

I know the memes.

Oh, God.

Get on to the catering.

Hooper's food was either poisoned on their premises or in transit to the

My guess is they're vegan, still have crap security.

I'm vegan.

Oh, I mean, that was never in doubt.

Hooper. He was poisoned.

Die in agony?

It's meant to be painless.

But long and drawn out?

Almost instantaneous.

I hate that I was right.

No, you don't.

Yeah, maybe.

Just because I was right didn't make me well.

Don't let him beat you. Don't spin out. No -one knew you were going to move into

that flat.

Armand didn't stitch together that rope for no key when it took you to assemble

a sofa.

Think about the frozen arm.

This was months.

in the planning so listen to me this is a sick coincidence until further notice

honestly

too much i can get you reassigned i'd miss you you're right

Are you comfortable?

I want you to follow the light with your eyes from side to side.

Let your mind go blind.

Follow the light and tell me what it takes you.

Tell me what you notice.

Tell me what you feel.

I'm seeing where they sent me.

Lock me up.

Shot me full of tetrahydra something.

And this is Joel?

Joel, yes.

Paranoid, schizophrenic, the whole shebang.

He was your neighbor on the ward?

He was my friend.

Why now?

On the day Mark Cooper was found dead, why remember Joel?

Can anyone you want, you just say the name?

You spoke to him.

I heard it, Teresa.

Yesterday he was arrested at the scene of the murder.

He went over it again and again.

But he was lucid.

He wanted me to know exactly what it felt like to find his sister, Teresa.

And he told you about her murder because you're a police officer?

Joe didn't have any faith in us.

Oh, anything from the prison caterers? A pothole intruder last week,

specifically this silhouette.

Yes. Take the rest of the day off.

Will that be all?

It's just a check. I know that there are a lot of unknowns right now, and I'm

only telling you this because I really want us to succeed, but I do not respond

to that tone.

I hate having to apologise for really weak jokes.

When do you ever apologise?

That's what I'm saying. I don't want to apologise.

What?

Nothing.

Technically, today would have been my dad's 60th.

Oh. Is it for your brother tonight?

Best behaviour?

No. I can't go home in time.

It's not worth showing up dressed like this.

Too much ammo.

Sure.

Make you blind and crazy Mama, make your vision hazy

Oi, oi, Jackie -o.

They're taking the piss.

Well, he is the mayor of London.

You've heard him whining all about Roche, using his mental breakdown to

points against us. I mean, what does rebooting the police even mean?

Or maybe he wants the switches off and switches back on again.

It's not more officers or more support. It's cuts.

He was 14.

And you give this family some closure.

Be proud of yourself.

Yesterday, the remains of six people were recovered from an address in

On entering the apartment...

They found the remains of six people.

This has now been treated as a murder... Is this a crutch?

I didn't make Chambers write that letter. Your paper printed it. I

Pulled your punches, barely.

I had to write something.

They're desperate to give my job to the interns. She just sits on her peachy ass

reading murders.

So come on, what's the deal?

Honestly?

This is a known story.

Is it dead?

They don't have boredom.

There is a poem.

It's about using sex to deceive yourself.

It goes, I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you

know that I know.

That's why there's so much money in poetry.

No suspects have been identified at this moment. We would like to invite... The

fact that you're lying just got me really hard for this story.

Thank you.

You did great, ma 'am. Such a pointless lie.

Wait for us. Coordinate with missing persons.

I know Andrea from years ago.

Three Leveson days.

That when we all used to drink in the same pubs. Ah, press police fluidity.

I don't know where fluids involved.

Don't pull a face.

I'm not pulling a face. Everybody did it.

Chambers got his end of way with the editor of the Fun Day Times.

You are. You're pulling a completely empathic dead face. That's so strange

because I'm finding it hilarious.

You'll get it when he comes back from holiday.

Unless he chose to death on a pina colada.

How do you and Chambers maintain a professional relationship?

Oh, you mean after I broke his arm? And his complaint about you during the

Hooper investigation. That was a lot.

You heard about that?

Oh, yeah.

It was my first experience of the British tabloids.

It was like watching a pack of homeless guys trying to fuck the same dog in a

semester.

Yeah, that's fair.

Do you think he regrets writing the letter?

Would he do it again?

Americans are too polite.

You want to know what a psychotic liability like me is doing back at work?

I just assumed you were a freemason.

Get some gloves and get Simmons.

We don't know it from... Donatella with Archer.

And you've got a lot of post.

Rose has a marriage from the paper trial.

A lot of whatever the kind word is for cat ladies.

The Rosebud.

The name Rose is.

The semi -nickers, unsolicited photos.

Please, don't be proud of that.

One, Ray Turnbull.

Sir, do you think we should be concerned he could meet me, Ray Turnbull, the

mayor of London? Yes, DC State, the shitting obvious.

It's DC Edmonds.

Two, Nick Hooper. Three, Eric Turner.

Four, Matthew Wingate. Five, Andrew Daly.

Thanks, Nathan Rice.

I mean, it is what it is.

It's not that bad.

And you're on a kill list.

Oh, we always knew I had a certain Marmite quality.

That's the spirit.

With me, Houdini.

Marmite's a kind of tarry yeast. I'm sorry. Sorry, DCI Simmons, but is that

appropriate? Is it smart to involve Rose? It is not personal.

Clearly, he antagonizes the killer, plus the Mark Cooper of it all.

This doodling prick doesn't get to dictate who's on my team, and nor do

There are two sets of people we need to ID.

First, the body parts recovered yesterday.

The individual arms, legs and torso sewn together into the whatever we're

calling it. They were different hands.

The rag doll?

Rag doll, yes.

Nice and simple.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's this guy?

I'm a technical officer.

The projector wasn't working.

Good thing I was here.

You're kidding me. IT gets a name algorithm discovery.

Second, the list of six names Deirdre received in the post.

Today. One has been identified as the mayor, Ray Turnbull. The other has been

identified as DS Rose.

I want armed protection officers on every entrance. Stop the lifts. Turn off

air.

These protection lads do my head in. I was on my way here anyway and they pitch

up and bundle me into the back of the car. Ray, this isn't a joke. This is

happening now.

Well, I didn't want to stand around making speeches outside and my hayfield

rank in this weather. You're at the rank all year round. What about the

children? All in France.

Oh, shit.

There is another one too, different mum.

Keep it under your hat.

Here it goes, Topster.

Fifty -eleven floors to go.

What did I ever do to you?

I remember you calling me a fascist on television.

Chop -chop.

Just near.

Right, I've got comfortable.

What are you going to do?

Catch the prey?

Will that take long?

Tattoo? The Pomeranian? It was a fat husky. It's all drawn in one continuous

line. It's by an artist called Hal. H -A -U.

What is this?

Scroll down.

Look.

There's the Pomeranian. Or fat husky.

Where are they?

Hal is doing a residency at a studio called Halloween Parade. I know it.

It's off the top of the road. And it's a hundred meter thing that's brought away

a half -isle of flowers murdered.

I mean, even ten years ago, if you had a bloody huge neck tattoo, I'd arrest you

on principle.

No, you just look like any other barista.

I do know about all this shit.

Oh, okay.

Jesus.

Because it stays under the uniform, yes?

Yeah, don't worry. My therapist says this is about compartmentalization.

So the risk is the reward.

You get a kick from trusting a stranger to give you a predetermined score.

Yeah, the trust is kind of non -negotiable.

I dated someone who tried to tattoo an X on their own arm.

Ended up looking like a swastika.

Ironically, she broke up with me for becoming a cop.

Fair enough.

I want a piece of, like, sacred geometry. Actually, it was inspired by

flowers. Those dahlias?

If you want them, you can have them.

Oh, no, ma 'am.

It's super important to let yourself accept praise.

You know what? Just wait in the car.

Sonny? It's cheese. Shut the door.

Getting a back draft of bloody pollen.

This, um, this rag doll.

We're not definitely calling it that.

The killer's got a B in their bonnet about Mark Hooper. Yeah, I imagine it's

about that photo shoot. Mark Hooper shaking your hand from his hospital bed.

Listen, I will never condone brazen police brutality.

Maybe it plays in Brexit on C, not in London.

Now, if Hooper had mysteriously died with his soul one night... Right, so if

done an Epstein, hanged him with his paper pyjamas... You'd be DCI.

Detective? Do you have a problem?

No, no, I don't have a problem.

Yes, yes.

I just want to protect my community to the best of my abilities.

I'm not looking for any special treatment.

I... Oh, thank you.

I don't want my colleagues to think that this is harder for me than it is for

them because that could affect the way that we communicate.

I'm so sorry, I...

I don't understand.

D .I. Chambers helped me catch your son's killer. Would you send him

I'd never send him flowers.

Oi.

So you've got nothing against brutality in principle?

There's celery in this.

People love a maverick. There's another tree.

Put a sock up the fire alarm.

you

He did this.

Nathan. To her. To her. I had to see you looking so well.

I made you see, uh, Joel Scepton.

Ah.

I'm afraid Joel died.

He, uh, hanged himself 12 months ago.

Do you want me to come up?

No, you're all right.

I don't think he's going to be hiding under my bed.

This guy's got loftier ambitions.

You know you can talk to me.

Always.

That's a good one.

You know, the lady in the flat below me is the schizophrenic.

Or at least she acts like my neighbor in the loony bin, this guy named Joel.

Only she puts on music to drown out screams.

The thing is, it's really good.

So most nights I find myself shazamming her episodes.

You're the reason I'm here, Peg.

The only reason.

Hmm.

Get some sleep, mate.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

That's just like

driven mad by his quest for justice.

You don't deserve to die, Joel. I will die with peace of mind.

Joel told me about the Faust.

You go to the Faust and you name one person you want dead. The idea is he'll

kill you too.

So you did this.

You spoke to him?

I owe it to Teresa.

He's not meant to be cruel.

So Joel named his sister's killer?

He put his... his faith in high power.

I guess he lived in hope.

An eye for an eye.

A world justice.

Does that appeal to you?

Let me have it.

The number.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Do you think the fact is real?

Is that why you called me tonight?

Did you believe him?

Fox isn't real.

Are you sure?

This is Nathan Rose.

I want you to kill Mark Hooper.
