- Get me the police.
- No. No, no, no!

Shut up!

You gave us an alibi
for Edie Ledwell's death.

You told us you were
taking detention.

But we now know that you sent
the student home early.

Why'd you do that?

I was worried about Edie.
I wanted to see her.

- How did you know who she was?
- She told me.

Highgate Cemetery.

You knew she was
in the cemetery

because you've installed
a tracking app on her phone.

Yeah, with her consent.

She wanted me
to know where she was.

You've obstructed
the course of justice

by giving us a false alibi

and not telling us
you had Edie's phone.

On top of that,
you've been arrested

for the attempted murder
of Sam Barclay.

Lying to us isn't working out
for you.

I want to cooperate. I do.
This is all a mess.

All right.

Do you recognize this person?

That's Yasmin Weatherhead.

She used to work for Edie.

Tell me
about your relationship.

She's writing a book
about "The Ink Black Heart."

She asked me to consult on it.

How long have you been
passing information to her?

Years, but it's just a book.

I want to be
straight with you.

- Okay.
- I've got nothing to hide.

The app said that Edie
was in the cemetery.

I got worried, so I-I literally
ran across the heath

to make sure she was okay.

But then her phone
started moving towards me.

When it got close, there
was this big, bald guy--

looked like a troll.

And when he saw me,
he dropped something and ran.

It was her phone
that he dropped.

It was a vital piece
of evidence.

It might have had
identifiable fingerprints.

And you didn't report it?

No, because I thought
she'd be coming home.

And I didn't want you lot

asking her how I ended up
with it.

Yeah, because she'd have
found out

you'd been monitoring
her movements.

You've been trying to
persuade the film producers

to let you write the script.

Is that why you kept her phone?

So you could steal her ideas?

Yeah.

Can we get a cup
of tea in here?

Pausing the interview
at 10:11.

DCI Murphy leaving the room.

Anomie's in the game,
so it's not Ormond.

Have you got your ticket
for Comic Con Live?

There will be an
"Ink Black Heart" stand there.

What shall I say?

"Still thinking about it"?

It's expensive.

Nice touch.

Need everyone there
to send a message

to the film producers.

Either they embrace
Drek's game,

or they lose the fans.

Make sure you wear
a costume with a mask.

Who are you going to go as?

Drek, obviously.

He's taking a risk
going there.

Oh, not if everyone's
wearing masks.

There'll be loads of Dreks.

Yasmin will probably be there.

Okay, fine.
We should get tickets.

I was thinking I should
interview her about her book.

I bet I'll get more
out of her that way.

Good idea.

What'd you think?

For an ex-cop, Ormond's
remarkably bad at bullshitting.

Yeah. I thought what he said
about the phone

was the most credible thing
he gave us.

If the Halvening killed her,
why would they take her phone

from the murder scene?

There's a risk
the phone gets tracked.

Ormond knew that.
They'd know it.

But if Anomie's the killer,

him taking her phone
makes sense

for the same reason
Ormond tried to keep it.

They both want Edie's ideas.

Forensics have got it now.

Maybe there's something on it

that the Halvening
wanted rid of.

Hear me out.

The Halvening would have known
Anomie hated Edie.

What if they approached him
through the game?

Anomie plays along,
learns their tricks.

Maybe they help him get
a Taser and a latex mask.

Then Anomie kills Edie,

knowing the Halvening
will be on the hook for it.

He makes sure of that
by contacting a journalist

and pretending
to be one of them.

Why didn't the Halvening
claim credit

for the pipe-bomb attacks

but then decide to claim
Edie's murder?

The answer is they didn't.

And another thing--
you send bombs

so you can keep a distance.

Stabbing someone is risky.

So is Edie really the same MO
as their other murders?

What do you think?

I think it's interesting.

You don't buy it?

I'll keep an open mind.

To be fair to Murphy,

he is trying to uncover
an entire terror group.

Yeah. And because of that,

he's going to miss
Edie's killer.

Sam, it is good to see you
in one piece.

Just about.

Hey.
Got Anomie.

We got him, right?

Anomie is still playing
"Drek's Game."

You're kidding.

What, that was just
some everyday prick

trying to kill me?

It has ruled out Ormond
as a suspect.

I'm not sure that's
worth a cracked rib.

And we can confirm
Yasmin Weatherhead

was getting inside information
from Ormond.

That's down to you.

You must be knackered.
Do you want to go home?

Ah, I'm good. I'm supposed
to be on Jago Ross today.

We can cover it.
Just go home. Get some rest.

Oh, hi.

Thought I'd check in,
given that it's my money

that's paying for all of this.

Have you got anything stiffer?

I did offer him a biscuit.

There's a bottle
in Mr. Strike's office.

Come through.

Thank you.

Ta.

Could you find me
a fancy dress costume,

something from comics or TV?

It needs to have a mask.

Are we doing
kids' parties now?

Thanks, Pat.

"Bad news, 'IBH' fans--

"Mavericker want to change
Harty from heart to human,

and Uncle Grunt's
going to let them."

Yep, that's the one.

Anomie tweeted that
a couple of hours ago.

Is it true?

Look, these so-called fans
don't understand

how much it costs
to make these films

and that films need film stars
to bring people in.

No one wants to watch
some disgusting black heart

floating about for 90 minutes.

So, of course,
we had to cast a human.

That's not public knowledge,
though, is it?

No. No, and it's still
only a discussion.

We can't get the deal done
until bloody Josh Blay

gives us the nod.

Now, I wouldn't be surprised
if he's the one that leaked it.

And the grief I am getting
about it is...

I mean, I'll tell you.

Calling the house--
I mean, that's crossing a line.

Yeah, my wife got a phone call
telling her to dig up Edie.

Did they say anything else?

Well, that's enough,
isn't it?

I mean, I got one as well.

Same thing--robot voice,
"Dig up Edie Ledwell."

Did they mention the letters?

- Why do you say that?
- I had a similar call.

My one said, "Look at
the letters in Edie's coffin."

How many people knew
about the letters

that were buried with her?

Well, we didn't
exactly broadcast it.

I mean, do you know
how much time it takes

to organize a funeral?

We have the twins to look after
and then my oldest girl.

She says she has to come,

even though Rach
hasn't even met Edie.

Probably wanted
a day off school.

But I still had to organize
a train ticket from Leeds

and--and then pay
for a burial down in Highgate.

And then all of a sudden,
we have to ring the undertaker

and tell him to hold off
closing the coffin.

But I did it, though.

You know, I drove over.
I gave him the sodding thing.

So...

who knew?

Oh, the undertaker knew.

And Josh and Ormond knew
because they wrote them.

And then the Upcott woman

because Josh
had to dictate his to her.

But Josh Blay doesn't give
a toss that Edie's gone.

He wanted Edie out.
That's a fact.

What makes you think that?

Because she told me.

She rang me last year...

for advice because I'm family,

because I'm a businessman.

I mean, Josh Blay
can do what he likes.

He's never gonna get his way.

And Anomie is just an excuse
to try and roger me.

Well, Grant Ledwell
will not be rogered

by some stoned
art-school dropout.

Do you think Katya Upcott
should be a prime suspect?

Well, I've been saying that
all along.

So it's not Katya.

I can see her walking,
and I'm chatting with Anomie.

Can you hear Gus playing?

Yeah.

Well, he can't play and type
at the same time, can he?

So that just leaves
Inigo Upcott to rule out.

Um, he never leaves
the house.

Yeah, I know,
but the client's insisting

we focus on the Upcotts--
which is fair enough.

Anomie is still getting
information about the film,

and it has to be coming
from somewhere.

Okay.

Bye.

It's been ages
since I've seen you.

Corm?

Package for you.

Are you there?

- Hope you like it.
- Thanks, Pat.

Who's Pat?

Office manager.
This can't wait.

I'm sorry, Madeline.
I've got to go.

When are you coming--

Sorry about that.

Was that your girlfriend,
the one who looks like Robin?

Night, Pat.

Well done.
You got the color right.

Well, I'm a professional.

- Yasmin agreed to the interview?
- Yeah.

Yeah, she's excited about it.

She hasn't got a publisher
for her book yet,

so she thinks the
article's all she needs.

What about you?

Can you take that off?

Yeah. Sorry.

How are you going
to find Anomie?

The one thing we know
about Anomie

is that he's got a huge ego.

He's trying to turn
Comic Con Live

into a "Drek's Game" event.

I reckon he's gonna want to be
front and center,

even if he's wearing a mask.

- Can I have a go?
- No.

It's mine.

Where are your parents?

You are his father.

What are you reading?

It's a Reddit group

called "Narcissistic Parents."

I think I might have found
Jago Ross's daughter.

I cross-referenced
her social media.

Listen to this.

"He hit my sister so hard,
her eye is swollen.

I once saw him drag my mum
down the stairs by the neck."

That'll be his first wife.
He beat her up.

She talks about her sister
getting in trouble

for leaving a stable door open.

Jago's got a place in Kent,
and he keeps horses.

This sounds like him.

We can't use this to
pressurize him, though, can we?

It'd make his daughter's life
even worse.

Maybe we should stake out
the place in Kent.

He might feel more able to be
himself when he's down there.

Might be our best bet.

Charlotte's got kids with him,
hasn't she?

Twins.

Well, if we do our job right,

she might be able to file
for sole custody.

If her kids can grow up
without an abusive father,

that's worth our time,
isn't it?

Mm.

Yes, it is.

Text me when you're done
with Yasmin.

I'm going Anomie hunting.

Sure.

Oh, there's the boss.

As you were.

- What'd he say?
- He said, "As you were."

Venetia.

Yasmin,
it's lovely to meet you.

- Can I get you anything?
- No, I'm all right. Thank you.

Well, thank you so much
for talking with me.

I'm--I'm sure
you'd much rather be

at "The Ink Black Heart" stand.

Oh, yeah, it's
sort of like a reunion here.

But it sort of confirms
that the fans really are

at the heart of everything,
you know?

Stories end up belonging
to the people who love them

just as much as the people
who wrote them.

That is a great quote.

So your book is called

"Inkhearts: A Journey Through
the 'Ink Black Heart' Fandom"?

Absolutely.

And did you work with
"The Ink Black Heart" creators

for your book?

Not officially, but I worked
with a lot of other insiders,

including the guy
who makes "Drek's Game,"

which is basically, like,
the fandom's main home.

Um, I've actually been
a moderator there

since, basically,
like, the start.

Well, yeah, I read a bit
about the creator.

He's called Anomie, right?

- And what's he like?
- He's really clever...

- Mm-hmm.
- And cultured.

And he's overcome a lot
of personal stuff, you know?

Like, if Edie was being fair,

she would have let him
monetize the game

because it's done so much
for the fandom

and--and it would make
a big difference to him.

So are you guys friends?

Not in real life,
but online, yeah, of course.

Could I have
a contact for him?

Hopefully he'll give me
a nice quote about you.

- Uh, he's very private.
- Oh, that's all right.

I'll just get him to say
how wonderful you are.

Um, I don't
actually have his details,

- but I can ask online.
- That would be great.

Thank you.

And the other creator is called
Morehouse, is that right?

Yeah, he's not playing much
right now.

He's got close with this
other mod--Paperwhite.

They're, like, a thing.

They're always
off on their own chatting,

and I don't want to...
like, sound like a bitch,

but I heard she sent him nudes,

which is, like, super tacky.

She sent them to all
the moderators who are guys.

And, like, I-I-I'm
sex-positive, right?

And it's her right
to do it, but...

Do you know what I mean?

There are other ways
of getting men to respect you

without sending pictures
of your tits.

Absolutely.

Well, I did actually try
reading up

about some of the mods,

but it's--it's difficult
to get details.

Oh, yeah,
we're super anonymous.

So do any of you
know each other?

Yeah, well, Fiendy
and Morehouse do.

And Morehouse and Anomie do
as well, obviously.

But it is discouraged.

So how do you make
a-a real friendship

with someone you only know
as Fiendy?

Well, because, like, your
username isn't your identity.

Like, Fiendy's into football.
He talks about Yorkshire.

He goes on
about the Peacocks now.

And his mom is always sick.

You know, you build up
a picture about him,

like you do with anybody.

Plus, we've all got
"The Ink Black Heart"

in common,
so there's always that.

Well, you are going to be
very well-known

once your book comes out.

Right, mate, having fun?

Always good
to see another Drek.

- You play the game, yeah?
- I'm a fan, so, yeah.

- You involved in it?
- Are you?

No, I wish.

I heard Anomie
might be here today.

- Has anyone seen him?
- I don't think so.

Right.

Well, see you later.
Bwah.

See you later.
Bwah.

And I also read
that Edie Ledwell was targeted

by far-right terrorists

and it was you who passed on
their fake information to Josh,

claiming that Edie was working
with Anomie.

Oh, I don't--

Sorry.
I-I have to ask the question.

It's been rumored that the game
is a hub for the alt-right.

Oh, my God, no, I-I'm--
I'm the opposite of that.

Right, and the guy
who sent me the files

isn't a racist either, right?

He's--he's Black.

So you know
the identity of the person

who sent you the files?

Well, not--not, like,
officially.

He's--he's an actor.

C-can this be off the record?
Can you do that?

Can you say, like,
I had nothing to hide,

- but it's confidential?
- Sure thing.

It's Michael David.

So he's the guy who took over
playing Drek in the cartoon.

He plays the game
as Vilepechora,

but it's a secret.

And people keep saying
that he's a Nazi.

And I really want to defend
him, but it's been a nightmare

because I'm not meant to know
who he is.

"Vilepechora"?

Yeah, he's one
of the moderators, like me.

And how did you find out
that Vilepechora

- was actually a Black actor?
- Because he told me.

He's actually doing a new play.

I'm actually going to go
and meet him at the stage door

after the first night.

Like, it's--it's the truth.

Um, sorry, I don't think--

I think--I think,
like, maybe I should speak

to some more people

before I talk
about the book, actually.

- Sorry.
- Absolutely.

Well, thank you for--

You've changed your costume.

- How did you know it was me?
- Well, I can just tell.

Oh.

Behind you,
guy on the right--

I think he's doing
what I'm doing.

He's going around to every
Drek, looking for Anomie.

There is something familiar
about his voice.

I think we should follow him.

Did you get
anything off Yasmin?

Yeah, quite a lot, actually.

She likes to show off,
so that was helpful.

Um, she thinks Anomie is
someone clever and cultivated.

I'm not sure she actually knows
who he is, though.

Do you fancy her for Anomie?

Well, she's well-connected
in the fandom.

But I just don't think
she's that clever.

She said the person
who gave her the material

to give to Josh was another
moderator in "Drek's Game"--

someone called Vilepechora.

A lot of the other players
think that he's a Nazi.

Anyway, Yasmin thinks he can't
be a Nazi because he's Black.

And do you know why
she thinks that?

Go on.

Because he told her and
asked her to keep it a secret.

What if she's only pretending
to be that stupid?

I-I think she might actually
be that stupid.

Maybe it's like you said--

the Halvening
infiltrated the game,

and Vilepechora used Yasmin

to get the dossier to Josh.

Oh, and I got another lead.

There's a moderator
called Fiendy

who knows who Morehouse is
in real life.

So, if we can get to Fiendy,
then we can get to Morehouse.

And we know that Morehouse
knows who Anomie is.

What do we know about Fiendy?

They like football
and Peacocks.

So they're a Leeds supporter.
Peacocks is Leeds' nickname.

Let's start talking
to them in the game.

Okay, he's off.

Let's go.

Hey, Midge.
I can't talk for long.

Inigo Upcott's
out of the house.

He's on foot.

Want me to stick with him?

Where's the rest
of the family?

I think they're all out.

Yeah, stick with him.
See what he's up to.

Thanks.

Inigo Upcott
just left the house

without his wheelchair.

So he can do without it
when his family aren't looking.

Looks that way.

- Same carriage?
- Yeah.

- Oh, no!
- Oh, my--

- He's on the tracks!
- Somebody get him!

- No, Robin!
- The train's coming!

The train's coming!

Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

Quick! Get him up!

How the fuck did you think
you were going to lift him?

Well, I didn't know
he'd been knocked out!

He was pushed.
They did it on purpose.

Is anyone a doctor
or a nurse?

I'm a surgeon.

- Anyone see what happened?
- I did.

A guy in a skeleton costume
shoved him onto the track.

- Did you see where he went?
- No.

I was helping my mate
back on the platform.

She's the one
who saved his life.

Don't go anywhere.
We'll need a statement.

Got an unconscious male,
mid-20s,

with a severe head injury.

All right, stand back,
ladies and gentlemen, please.

Further uniform assistance.

Victim's name is Oliver Peach.

There's blood in his ear.

You can't smoke in here.

I don't know
how you're not smoking!

Guys, can you step back
a little bit?

That's it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the
platform's gonna be shut down.

Oliver Peach is the guy
that got pushed on the track.

He's the son of Ian Peach,
the tosser who ran for mayor.

Judging by the tattoo
on his stomach,

he also goes by Algiz.

He's a member of the Halvening.

What, Anomie's killing
Halvening members now?

Anomie told everyone

he was going to be there
in a Drek costume.

But he didn't.
He went undercover.

Oliver's going around
looking for Dreks.

That's how Anomie worked out
who was hunting him.

What do you mean
"hunting him"?

Anomie pinned Edie Ledwell's
murder on the Halvening.

The Halvening's
worked that out.

Oliver Peach is an anagram
of Vilepechora.

Vilepechora is a moderator
in "Drek's Game."

I think Oliver got involved

to try and manipulate people
about Edie,

and he then got friendly
with Anomie.

They both hated Edie Ledwell.

The Halvening target
influential woman.

Oliver Peach
ends up telling Anomie

how to buy a Taser
and latex masks.

But now Anomie knows
the Halvening are onto him,

so he ties up a loose end.

He's obviously a psychopath.

Yeah, I think he is.

Uh, Inigo Upcott
was not at Comic Con.

But is definitely dodgy.

I followed him to a cafe,
where he made a call,

and I sat
on the table next to him.

Listen to this.

My darling girl, you have
to stay strong and calm.

By rights,

"The Ink Black Heart"
belongs to you.

We both know that.

But you mustn't call me again.

Message me on Tribulationem.

Any chance
he's talking to Katya?

I just don't think he'd call
his wife his darling girl.

What was that Greek word?

Tribulationem.
It's Latin.

Ah, so we're looking
for a website

with a messaging forum.

Ah, here we go.

Tribulationem et Dolorem,
owned by Inigo Upcott,

is a forum
for autoimmune sufferers.

But why would he get someone
to message him on the website

and not just email?

Maybe he's worried
Katya can see his emails.

Or it's someone

who he started talking to
over the website,

someone with an illness.

Kea Niven.

Kea Niven has ME,

and she also believed that
Edie Ledwell stole her ideas.

If she is
Inigo's darling girl--

and, remember,
he was defending her--

then that would give her
access to information

such as the film deal

and, well, everything
that Anomie tweets about.

I think we should talk
to them both tomorrow.

I can't tomorrow afternoon.
I've got flat stuff.

But I could manage
a few hours in the morning.

You do Inigo, I'll do Kea,

and make sure they
don't have time to confer.

Midge, can you talk to Pat
about the antique job?

We're behind.

Barclay, you need
to play "Drek's Game."

Find a player called Fiendy.

Oh, the username
is Fiendy1-11.

They like football,
so talk about that.

We need to build
a relationship

before we ask them
about Morehouse.

Cool.

Josh and I started dating
at St. Martin's

before I got sick,

and we told each other
about where we grew up,

like you do.

I grew up in King's Lynn,

where, basically,
our most famous story

is about a witch
called Margaret Reed,

who got burned at the stake,

except her heart burst
out of her chest

and ran away on its own.

Remind you of anything?

No?

Well, how about...

this?

Can you see?

I got that

after I saw it in a nightmare
during my A levels.

Edie Ledwell says that
she created Harty and Drek

and everything else,
but what she actually did

is steal my ideas
and my boyfriend.

Hi, Gus.
Is your dad in?

My wife's out visiting Josh.

It's a full-time job
licking his wounds.

Actually, it's you
I wanted to talk to.

It's about Kea Niven.

Go and practice.

You can have five minutes.

Thank you.

Has my wife commissioned you
to spy on me?

Kea is unwell

with the same bastard condition
that cut me down.

Helping people like her

is the one positive thing
I've been able to do.

- How often do you talk to her?
- We don't talk.

We use the messaging forums
of my website.

Well, sometimes you talk
to her on the phone, don't you?

When you call her
your "darling girl."

You have been following me.

This is outrageous.

Invasion--

Have you told your wife
you talk to Kea?

Patient confidentiality.

- You're not a doctor.
- I uphold the same standard.

Does that include
conversations

about "The Ink Black Heart"?

She's a girl who needed help.

She's a girl
with a substantial grudge

against Edie Ledwell,

a girl who harassed Edie online

and stalked Josh Blay
after he broke up with her.

She's not just a girl
who needed medical advice.

Do you think there's...

a chance she could have been
using you all along?

So many doctors...

don't even believe ME
is a real condition.

Mr. Upcott...

did you share information
with Kea Niven

about "The Ink Black Heart"?

Kea felt
she'd been plagiarized.

I've been a publisher,

so I offered to take a look
at her case.

I know what it's like
to be used,

then tossed aside when your
illness makes you a liability.

That's what Josh did to her.

Did you pass on details

about the deals
your wife was involved in,

like the film deal
with Mavericker?

Only in the broadest terms.

For God's sake...

Kea isn't Anomie.

And she's not Morehouse either.
She's an innocent.

I'll let the police know
we had this chat.

Police?

In the meantime,
I strongly suggest,

if Kea Niven contacts you
for any reason,

ignore her messages until
after you've been cleared.

"Cleared"?
Cleared of what?

Of involvement in the murder
of Edie Ledwell.

I think Inigo's been used
the same way Yasmin was used--

flattered and manipulated.

I'll send you my notes.

I'm nearly at Kea's.

I'll hold off knocking
until I've read them.

Okay.

Cormoran Strike.
Here to see Kea.

I imagine she knows who I am.

- She's not well.
- Who is it?

It's a man called
Cormoran Strike?

Kea?

Kea?

Mrs. Niven, do you mind
if I use your toilet at least?

It's been a long way,
and my leg's killing me.

Oh, God. Okay, um,
it's just through here.

I'll go and check on Kea.

Kea.

Kea.

The loo's just--

Just fixing my leg first.

Um, I'm afraid Kea's gone.

I'm glad she's made
a recovery.

Well, she has
good days and bad.

That's the nature
of the condition.

I paid for so many specialists,
and, God, it's been impossible.

She's been ill for so long.

She's already spoken
to the police, okay?

The stress
you're causing her now is--

Been terrible for her.
I'm here to put an end to that.

Do you think Edie Ledwell
stole her work, her ideas?

I do, yeah.

But it's impossible to prove.

Actually, I think Josh stole
them and gave them to Edie.

But that's even harder,
isn't it?

Because no matter
how terribly he's treated her,

she still loves him.

- She been harassed online?
- Yeah.

All the time.

We've been hired to find out
who Anomie is.

You know who I'm talking about?

Yeah.

We can help Kea
if she helps us, but...

can't force her.

- Let me speak to her.
- I'd better get going.

Please.
She can't do it on her own.

I have told her that.
Just let me speak to her.

How did you think
you were going to manage

all this on your own?

Oh, well, my dad was
supposed to be coming down,

but he's done his back in.

You know, it still feels wrong

that we got
all these wedding presents

and the marriage
didn't even last a year.

It was an excuse
to buy you nice things.

You really don't want those
glasses that we got you?

Oh, no, no, no.
No. I fought for the glasses.

Matt--

Matt drew up a spreadsheet
with the cost of each item,

and we took turns in picking

until we'd reached
our budget ceiling.

This is what happens
when you divorce an accountant.

Yeah, well, it's not
how I thought it would be.

You're going to be fine.

Actually, I am.

I've been asked out on a date.

- Really? Who?
- Mm.

He's a police officer.

And I said,
"Should I bring Strike along?"

Okay, so there's work to do.

I've got to leave in an hour.
Is there anyone else can help?

Oh, oh, I'll be fine.

There's really not
that much to do.

I'll bring it over.

Thank you for seeing me.

How you feeling?

Not good.

Once the adrenaline goes,
the exhaustion really hits you.

How's Josh doing?

Not good either.

You can help him, though.

I'm trying to work out
who Anomie is.

If I say what I think,

people will just accuse me
of having an agenda.

Why do you say that?

People always accuse me
of that.

By people, do you mean other
fans of "Ink Black Heart"?

I'm not a fan.

I'm a creator.

They were my ideas.
Josh pretty much admitted it.

When did he do that?

He wouldn't want me to say.

He wants you
to tell us everything.

Did he say that?

Yeah, he did.

Well, it was
after we got back together.

He realized he probably told
her about all my ideas

by accident.

He was going to sort it out
so I got credit,

but then she staged that
bogus suicide attempt, and...

She was so controlling.

I think he was almost scared
of her.

Thank you.

You know,
I-I never would have run

if I'd known
you were disabled, too,

just because
you probably understand

how it is to live with a body
that keeps messing things up.

It's...

I don't know...

a traitor.

A good heart
wants to escape a bad body.

Do you understand what I was
trying to say with Harty?

I think I do.

I still have
some questions, though.

Can you tell me about your
dealings with Inigo Upcott?

Inigo...

Upcott.

Two Ts.

I don't know.

You approached him

on his website
for autoimmune sufferers.

Right, yeah.

Yeah, I asked him
for some advice.

Your mum pays
for specialists--

real ones, doctors.

Yeah.

But he has lived experience.

And besides, I only asked
him, like, one thing,

and it was years ago.

You visited his site twice
in the last 24 hours.

Why don't you tell me
the truth?

Do you want me to tell Josh
you sat here and lied

to cover your ass?

Or I could write up this
conversation and put it online.

No, no, no.
You--you can't do that.

They already make my life hell.

One more lie,
and I'm out of here.

No more chances.

I get information out of Inigo

about "Ink Black Heart"
and about Josh.

But it's only so I know what
they're doing with my work.

It wasn't even my idea
to talk to Inigo.

This other girl DM'd me
on Twitter about his site,

saying it was easy
to get stuff out of him.

I can prove that.

Wait.

Yeah, that's--
that's her handle.

Look.

RachLedBadly.

Rachled?
What's Rachled?

Her name's Rachel.

Username's RachLedBadly.

Her mum's got lupus.

That's how she found out
about Inigo's site.

RachLedBadly.

Edie stole my stuff,

and she stole Josh.

I'm glad she's dead.

I'm not going to pretend
otherwise.

She ruined my life,

and I get hate for it
from their shitty fans.

You mean Anomie?

He's the worst.

You know, I reckon he did...

this just because I said
I wasn't interested in him.

"This crazy bitch
threatened to stab

"her ex-boyfriend
and Edie Ledwell

the night
before they got stabbed."

I deleted the tweets, but...

the Internet is forever.

Yeah.

I think Anomie gave out my...

phone number, my home address,
my mum's work.

Someone from Belgium
called my mum's boss,

saying Mrs. Niven's daughter
is a--

I can't even say it.

My mum came home crying.

So, if you tell people
I'm a liar,

it'll just get even worse.

What about those tweets
you deleted,

threatening
to stab Josh and Edie?

Josh told me

that Edie was meeting him
at our spot.

I was angry,
but I-I didn't mean it.

At least
Edie Ledwell got rich

before she had to deal
with all this stuff.

Hey.

Robin still out?

She's moving house.

Today?

How do you not know this?

Hello.

Oh, what are you doing here?

I thought you might need
a hand shifting your stuff.

- How did you get the address?
- Pat.

- Housewarming present.
- Oh, thanks.

- Well, how was Kea?
- She's not Anomie.

Ruled her out
using "Drek's Game."

Something useful--
girl called RachLedBadly

told Kea how to groom Inigo.

What's the opposite
of led badly?

Led well.

Rachel Ledwell--

Grant's daughter
from his first marriage.

I thought Grant said
that Edie and Rachel

never met each other.

I don't think Grant
was the most involved dad.

Kea said Rachel's a massive
"Ink Black Heart" fan,

and her mum's got lupus.

That's probably
how she found Inigo's website.

Rachel lives in Leeds, right?

Yeah. Why?

Well, if she is
a big "Ink Black Heart" fan,

then chances are
she's playing "Drek's Game."

Yasmin Weatherhead said that
Fiendy supports Leeds United

and they're always talking
about having a sick mum.

And Grant said Anomie knew
his first wife had lupus.

That could have been Rachel
talking about her situation.

Fiendy knows
who Morehouse is.

If Rachel Ledwell can give us
Morehouse's real name...

Then we get to Anomie.

Well--well, let's go!

Well, we can't leave
this stuff in the van.

It'll get nicked.

Oh, well, let's go
first thing in the morning.

First thing.

Do--do you want to stay
for dinner

after we unpack the van?

Sounds great.

If we're going to set off
first thing in the morning,

it might just be easier
if you stay.

That sofa turns
into a sofa bed.

Pez.

He's been texting me,

asking when I'm going
back to North Grove.

Maybe I should, um...

Make an excuse.

Just try and play
for more time.

Hey, Pez.

I'm, uh--I'm just
getting ready for work.

That's all right, Robin.

You take your time.

Look, I was calling to say,
I don't mind at all.

Truth be told,
getting seduced by a spy

is a proper life goal,
you know what I mean?

How--how did you find out
my name?

Wally's told everyone

not to let you back
into North Grove

and to let him know
if anyone else sees you.

How did Wally find out?

You're in someone's video
on a train platform.

It's online.

So, listen, you coming
over here isn't a good idea.

But if you want to go
to the pub sometime...

Look, Pez, I've got to go.

My name is Robin Ellacott.

And you were the one
who pulled him off the tracks?

Uh, yes.

Uh, me and a-a guy
dressed as Superman.

You need to get
a stronger door on your flat--

steel frame,
something you can't kick in.

The Halvening won't care that
you tried to help Oliver Peach.

They know you're a detective.
That's enough.

Well, I've only
just moved in.

No one knows where I am.

I'm not even
on the electoral roll.

Hmm.

Rachel, I'm Robin.

You're Buffypaws as well,
aren't you?

I am, yeah.

And you're Fiendy.

Who's paying you?

I can't tell you that.

But they care
about "Ink Black Heart,"

and they want to stop Anomie.

Nobody needs to know
you spoke to me.

I won't even take notes.

Do you think I'm disgusting?

No.

Why would I?

Edie was my cousin.

And I was one of them
in "Drek's Game."

She probably thought
we all hated her,

even though it isn't true.

I was so psyched
when I found out

it was her
that made the cartoon.

I never even told her
how much I loved it.

No one in my family
ever told her.

And then I went to her funeral,

and people online are joking
about digging her up.

I hate it.

Rachel, you didn't cause
any of this.

I could have tried harder.

Well, you can help now.

Tell me about Morehouse.

He was my best friend
in the game.

He thought I was a guy for ages
because I liked talking

about science and space
and gaming,

so I just let it stay
like that.

It's so much easier
to be a guy online.

You don't get hassled
for nudes.

Even when he knew I was a girl,

he was still really nice
to me...

until I messed it up.

What happened?

I found out who he was.

And when I told him,
he went ballistic,

and he ignored me for ages.

So I got pissed off,
and I made a stupid joke

about him doing wheelies
in his wheelchair,

and he hasn't chatted
to me since.

He's got Paperwhite now, so...

won't have time for me anyway.

How long has Paperwhite
been playing "Drek's Game"?

A few years.

She's liked Morehouse for ages.

You're not supposed to share
personal info, but people do.

And I know he talks to her.

One of the last conversations
we had

was him saying
how he's struggling

with how she might be
if she finds out he's disabled.

How did you find out
who he was?

He posted a link
on his Morehouse Twitter

instead of his personal one.

It was only there
for ten seconds,

but I clicked on it,

and it was this crazy
astrophysics project

based in Cambridge.

So I dug around
till I found him.

He's really good-looking.

I can see
why Paperwhite's into him.

You said
he uses a wheelchair.

He had a stroke
when he was a kid.

You won't tell him I helped
you find him, will you?

- He'd hate me forever.
- Of course not.

I need a name, Rachel.

His name is Vikas Bhardwan.

He's a doctor in astrophysics,
and he lives in Cambridge.

Great work, Robin.

Really is.

Sorry I asked you
to sit it out.

Why?

You're a lot better
at most things than I am.

I-I'm not pissed off with you.
I'm fucking delighted.

Okay.

Oh, it is a Sunday, though.
He might be out.

If Morehouse
can give us Anomie,

I'll sit outside his room till
he comes back if I have to.

Excuse me. We're friends
with Vikas Bhardwan.

We're just trying
to find his room.

Yeah, it's just through here.

- Thank you very much.
- Cheers.

Excuse me.

Could you tell us which
is Vikas Bhardwan's room?

Yeah, it's this one.

Is everything all right?

Uh, well, we're supposed
to be meeting him,

and he's not answering
his phone.

Has someone gone
to get the porter?

- Yeah, yeah.
- The porter's not there.

Skeleton keys--
glove compartment.

Can you go with her, make
sure she can get back in?

Sir, can I just ask
who you are?

I'm a private detective.

You should call the police.
Do it now.

What is going on?

Did Vikas talk
about a girlfriend?

No. Uh, I'm not sure
that he had a girlfriend.

Um, there's a girl
that he talks to online.

- Goes by Paperwhite?
- I don't know.

He's only mentioned her once.

- When?
- A couple days ago.

Tell me everything
you remember.

- This is important.
- Okay.

Uh, we were going to go
to this thing together,

so I came here to grab him.

He was chatting to someone in
this game that he'd created.

- Hiya.
- Hiya.

- Sorry, just one sec.
- Yeah, no problem.

I found photos of you.

Vikas, I think
you're gorgeous.

Can we go and see
Robin Ellacott together

to talk about Anomie?

She mentioned Robin Ellacott?

Yeah, the ghost girl
in the game did.

It's this girl.

She's amazing.

She's an artist.

She's beautiful.

She always sends photos,
and I never send them back.

I thought
she'd run a mile, but...

she knows,
and she doesn't care.

Did you find out
anything else about her,

- apart from her being an artist?
- No, no.

He, um, clammed up about it.

What is going on?

Can you tell me?

- Still no sign of the porter.
- Police will be here soon.
