How is he?

The rituals are taking longer.

I think they're blocking
the grieving process, but...

he won't talk about it.

Adelaide would be glad you're here.

Oh, that's...

that's good to hear.

I did some research.

There's a highly respected
OCD specialist

based just outside of Cambridge.

I can give you the link.

Please.

Stan!

The guests are arriving.

Kendrick! Is this the lady?

Yes, it is. Ah, hello.
- Aah, how are you?

- Oh, good, how are you?
- Oh, my God, you look good.

Thank you. I know. This is
Kendrick who looks much better.

Hello, it's so nice to properly
finally meet you.

Oh, are you ready for your
mental detox?

I think, uh, I think Stan might
be ready for us.

Oh.

Scarlet, nice to see you again.

You too.

- Scarlet.
- Billy.

- Hello.
- Hello.

This is Kendrick.

- Hello Kendrick.
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, Stan. Stan.

This is Kendrick. It's his first
time at Highwater.

First of many, hopefully.

Excited to be here.

I'm Stan.

Uh, yeah, I got that.

Hey, Stan. Remember me?

Florence.

Ah.

Where's Billy?

Is everybody in?

Let the ceremony begin.

Great.

I am strong.

We are strong.

I am mighty.

The circle cannot be broken.

The circle cannot be broken!

- Let the magic flow.
- Let the magic flow!

Let the magic flow!
Let the magic flow!

Oh, are you alright?

Come on.

I'm okay.

We're okay. No biggie.

Everyone chill for five.

More wood for the fire.

We should call an ambulance.

He's alright.
No ambulance needed.

- Look at him.
- No ambulance.

He's gonna be fine.

We're okay.

I am strong!

We are strong.
I am mighty!

We are strong!

- Prof T: Aunt Zelda?
- In here.

Are you decent?

Depends what you mean by decent.

What was so urgent
that you required my presence

tout suite?
- This.

I'd never forgive myself
if it got broken.

Your mother insisted
you should have it.

Said she put it on the landing
to keep you in your room.

Hm. Well, when I gaze upon it,
I shall think of you.

Oh, and you can take this as well.

Photographs. Hundreds of them.

No idea who anyone is.

Why is it that when you tell
some people

you do not wish to discuss something...

And by some people you mean...?

Jasper...

Are you asking for help?

Absolutely not.

The thing you need to know
about women is...

They do not listen.

No, no. We listen
very carefully,

which is why we hear things
that are felt, but not said.

I need to go.

Take the box.

I do not wish to look

at my mother's old photographs.

What about this?

Or that ceramic atrocity.

I have some news.

The hospital called.

Our friend Kendrick Mailer
has passed on.

When I close my eyes, I see
a beautiful young man

dancing, smiling, his heart open
to a new experience.

Let us take a moment to transmit love.

Let him know as he ascends
to a place of peace,

a place of joy,

that he is in our thoughts.

The pathologist
is waiting for toxicology

and a full body MRI.

But she said the cause of death
was intracranial hematoma.

Well, the paramedics said he
fell while he was dancing.

Hm. But apparently he had
an abnormally thin skull.

And just here around the bruising,

there's a large buildup of blood.

Well, allegedly he said he felt fine.

He refused to go to the hospital.

And he was alive this morning.

He might have been breathing,

but the damage had been done.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

- DS Winters.
- Hi.

- DC Highsmith.
- Hello.

Welcome to Highwater Hall.

The welcome is warm, but
the circumstances are somber.

I'm Scarlet.

My indispensable helpmeet.

The guests are all aware
of what happened.

They're happy to talk.

Did Kendrick arrive here alone?

He came with Billy.

Billy Armstrong, he's down by
the lake with Flo.

Scarlet, you'll fetch him, please.

- Of course.
- Thank you.

Please, follow me.

Yeah, so on the first night
we always have the circle dance.

Kendrick lost his balance.

I look round, Flo's trying
to help him up.

How was Kendrick after he fell?

He said the chants sounded echoey.

Why didn't anyone call an ambulance?

Well, he was like,

"What? Five hours in A&E

when I should be here?"

And there was no chance
of any drug use, alcohol?

No alcohol, no drugs.

This is a purely spiritual
gathering of body and soul.

Lady Cynthia insists.

She won't even allow sugar in your tea.

They're all saying the same thing.

He fell, refused help, he died.

Apparently Lady Cynthia's
pretty uncompromising

when it comes to sugar.

Yeah.

- She also takes their phones.
- Mm.

Digital detox. One of 'em
told me I should try it.

Apparently I've got phone face.

Do you think it's a... cult?

Cult of part-time hippies.

Yeah, but you can't just pay to join.

You have to be invited.

Billy invited Kendrick and Flo.

Are you staying for supper?

I am making my famous
strawberry daiquiris.

- No.
- Alcohol free.

- We'll be heading off.
- Oh, is that it?

Unless the toxicology report
throws up any anomalies.

Well, if it does,
you are more than welcome.

We haven't spoken
to the mini bus driver yet.

Stan? Oh, you can't
miss out Stan.

Does he take part in the ritual?

He'd be tucked up in bed,

but he'll sulk
if you don't speak to him.

Second floor.

He's made a nest for himself
in one of the box rooms.

After you.

Stan?

Sugar?

I thought Lady Cynthia
didn't allow sugar.

Oh...

Yes, yes, I'll have one, thanks.

I'm alright, thank you.

So Stan, you work here?

If it needs doing, I do it.

Oh! Snap.

Do you know why we're here?

Chap had a fall.

I think he died.

That's right.

And where were you when it happened?

Where I always am.

Which is?

In here.

The medicine dance starts,
it's time for bed.

The medicine dance?

Time for bed said Zebedee.

Thank you. Why, uh, why'd you
call it the medicine dance?

Because it makes people better.

Don't tell Lady Cynthia.

What would she say if she caught you?

Don't tell her.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Morning. Thank you.

So, how was your day communing
with the free spirits?

A lot of rich kids
trying to 'find themselves'.

Well, the toxicology report
came in for Kendrick Mailer,

the lad who fell.

And there's no drugs,
no alcohol in his system.

But the path report
found a broken ossicle

in the left ear.

That's probably why he said
the chants sounded echoey.

There's damage to the left ear.

There's a head injury
to the right parietal.

There's a strong possibility
that this Kendrick fell

after an assault.

I want you to go back,
find the cracks, dig in,

prise them open.

- Hey, how's it going, mate?
- Keep it down.

Does Leonie's old man know she's
dating an officer of the law?

Hang on.

I'll catch you up.

- What's he done?
- What I've done

or what they're saying I've done?

Intent to supply.

Alright.

Yeah, I bet she hasn't told her dad.

You know, a cop killed his brother.

Alright, calm down, love.

But as you know, I promised my sister

I would act as guide and mentor
to my nephew.

But I don't need to tell you
that, well...

- He won't listen.
- Yes.

That's why I need your help.

You want my help?

Well, only because
you've known him, like, forever

and, well, I've had a,
I've had a life to lead.

Charming.

Adelaide was keenly aware

that Helena was good for him.

However, I have of late

witnessed a relationship under stress.

You want me to advise him?

Well, when it comes to the art of love,

I am something of an expert.

Gold star for perseverance.

Meanwhile, you might be better
suited to logistics.

- Logistics?
- Mm-hm, yep.

Jasper!
- Aunt Zelda.

Have you discovered a sudden
passion for criminology?

Jasper, I'm going to be
very frank with you.

Helena is a fine woman.

Do you wish me to respond?

No, I want you to listen.

If you want to keep her,
you need to take some advice.

A man should never seat a woman
facing the wall.

Never raise your voice.

A gentleman never kisses
on the first date.

I can see why you never married.

Any respectable woman
will only marry for love.

And keep marrying until she finds it.

Uh, if you'll excuse me,

I'm requested to give the police
my advice.

I think he got the message.

So, an anomaly has arisen?

I'm afraid so.

This is our consultant,
Professor Jasper Tempest.

Professor of what?

Psychological criminology.

Ah, I'm in the presence
of a rival shaman.

Am I to know the nature
of this anomaly?

We'll come to that. We're gonna
need a couple of rooms.

At your service.

So, how long have you been
running these, um...

Spiritual retreats.
30 years this summer.

- And why did you...
- We needed the money.

Without some form of income,
we would've been forced to sell.

The anomaly...

I should point out
that I do also help people.

Many of my guests have been
with me on this journey

from the start.

Your guests have been lying.

Been coming here
for about five years now.

The first time was just after
my mother died.

It's not cheap, coming here.

My, uh, mum, she got knocked
down by a police car.

I've got compensation money.

Sorry.

You weren't driving.

How did you find out
about Highwater Hall?

Uh, Lady Cynthia got in touch,
offered me a free holiday.

Whose decision was it
not to call an ambulance?

Kendrick's.

He wasn't capable of deciding
what was best, was he?

Kendrick was hit
round the side of the head.

Did you see who did it?

It didn't happen.

He got dizzy and fell over.
That's it.

Well, the postmortem
shows that Kendrick Mailer

sustained injuries consistent
with being assaulted

prior to his fall.

Really? Is that what
they're saying?

Tell me, Officer, isn't there
the slightest possibility

that Kendrick might have
incurred this injury

before he came here?

Isn't that more likely than the idea

that all of my guests are lying?

Used to be scared of these.

How long have you worked here?

If it needs doing, I do it.

Sorry. Am I interrupting?

Not at all.

We were making

inconsequential small talk.

I have to say...

a few luminous moments apart,

I have had no real clairvoyant
experiences,

but watching you arrive...

you were trailed by an aura.

I hope you don't mind me asking,

has a life changing event
recently occurred?

22 days ago,
my mother died. Um...

That would explain it.

The cosmos never forgets.

Helena.

Yesterday you said that Kendrick
told you he was hearing echoes.

Who hit him?

No one.

If that ambulance had have been called,

Kendrick might still be alive.

I wanted to.

Who stopped you?

Florence...

Sorry to interrupt,
we're going to need this room.

We're holding Kendrick's memorial here.

We can continue this at the station.

I need to be here.

Okay.

Just, if you remember anything.

Helena, there is nothing that
an OCD specialist can tell me...

Oh, I know.
I know that you think...

that I do not know already.

Look I, I...

Kafka?

Kafka?

Mother?

Professor...

Are you lost?

I thought I, um...

Have you seen a little dog?

I don't allow dogs.

Do you think it might have been
an embodiment of something?

Well, I heard it barking, um...

When you arrived this morning,
as I already intimated,

you were accompanied
by a powerful presence.

So many unresolved issues.

Doesn't anyone recently bereaved
have unresolved issues?

Jasper...

dear boy...

you have a scar just here
on the back of your head.

You were knocked off your bike
when you were seven years old.

I know this the way one knows
things in a dream.

And you have visions, I know you do.

I did. I mean, I had visions.

I thought they had gone.

You think you're here
to find the truth.

But you're looking for the wrong truth.

Something inside you is dying.

Need a hand?

Brown trout, for the visitors.

Nice.

Cook it on the bonfire
before the dance.

The medicine dance.

The rope that connects
the living to the dead.

Thanks.

You know, when I got your text,
'Sorry, working.'

I thought, wow, I'm getting
the brush-off here.

Why didn't you tell me about your dad?

Who talks about their dad
on their first date?

You know what I'm saying.

My dad got burned.
Nine years in prison.

That must've been tough,
your dad in prison.

I should have told you right off.

I didn't want to scare you away.

You wouldn't scare me away.

Thanks.

Uh, he, he runs his own business now.

Imports cosmetics.

Uh, you know the King's Hedges
drop-in center?

Yeah, for, for drug addicts.

He helps to fund that.

His company's doing really well.

Yeah, I saw his car
when he picked you up.

Ah... Yeah, it's a magnet
for traffic cops.

Well, he should get a family saloon.

And lose the personalized
number plates.

We okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're okay.

So, did you just totally forget

that we were gonna try the Indonesian?

I forgot.

Well, I brought some anyway.

I have already eaten.

Oh...

Okay.

Jasper, could you at least have
a glass of wine or something?

Um, I shall have a glass of water.

Um, are you aware that you hung
up on me

rather abruptly this afternoon?

Did I?

Yes. We were talking
about the specialist.

The OCD specialist.
- Yes. I...

saw something.

Are you gonna tell me what it was?

I saw my mother.

Oh...

Well, that makes sense.

I mean, everything is connected.

So, this vision,

and the spike in your
compulsive behavior.

What worries me is that,
you know, if you,

if you don't accept help,

then comorbidities could start
to engulf you.

- Comorbidities?
- Yeah. Anxiety, depression.

Intrusive thoughts.

My current relapse has nothing
to do with my mother.

Well, what then?

The smell of that food is making
me want to wretch.

Well, if it has nothing to do

with your mother, then what is it?

I do not wish to discuss it.

And I refuse to be back in the relation

of client to your therapist.

Jasper, what do you imagine
I get out of this?

I mean, does it ever cross your mind

that for any relationship to work,

there has to be some,
some mutual give and take?

I don't want to be
your therapist either.

I wanted to be your lover.

I think it's just better if I go.

Wait...

Helena...

Helena.

Helena?

Helena!

Helena!

Let us all partake,

so that we might honor
the memory and spirit

of our friend Kendrick,

while scrupulously maintaining
the security and sanctity

of this holy place.

Come in. Oh...

Hello, Ma'am.

Um, I've been thinking
about what you said.

Uh, I checked out Chester Vass
and it's all legit.

His business, the drop-in center.

He helps people.

So did Ronnie and Reggie Kray.

Trying to impress the judge
with their 'charitable work'.

But they were still brutal psychopaths.

Yeah. I mean, people can change.

Do you know about his brother?

Uh, yeah, I do.
He died in custody.

It was my old nick and I was on duty.

And Wesley Vass was violent and loaded.

We got him into the cell

and he had a heart attack
and keeled over.

That was the end of the story.

But then the family
accused us of killing him

and covering it up.

Dan, you do realize this whole
thing could be a setup.

I mean, does Leonie strike you
as the kind of girl

who hangs around an old man's pub?

You might be getting played.

And as you breathe in and out...

I want you to focus your attention

to the sounds that you can hear
outside the room.

You shouldn't be in here.

I needed my phone.

Put your phone back.

You need Cynthia's permission.
Put it back.

Ah!

DC Highsmith?

Hi, it's Florence.

Flo. Hi.

I'm leaving the retreat.

I want to make a statement.

Yeah, yeah, I can, I can...
I can come get you.

I have my car.
I'll be there in 40 minutes.

Okay.

Come in.

- Ah, you're back for Hume.
- Hume?

I discovered the monkey's name.

- Look.
- Hmm.

Photo of Hume with your mother.

She's written his name on the back.

Ah.

So much of Adelaide's life
I had no idea about.

There's one of her with
Keith Moon, for goodness' sake.

I can scarcely believe
I am saying this,

but, um... I'm here for advice.

Relationship advice?

Regrettably, yes.

If I'm to help you,

you have to tell me where you're up to.

- Up to?
- With Helena.

I saw you dancing at our wedding.

Have you...

kissed?

No.

Do you, um...

Do you pay her compliments?

Well, I have expressed admiration

for her academic achievements.
- Yeah.

What about the way she looks?

Do you say for example, uh...

Helena, you look absolutely
ravishing today.

Of course not.

What prompted you to come here?

Helena seems to require answers
to questions,

things that I'm not ready to divulge.

Jasper, there is one thing
without which

no healthy relationship can survive.

Emotional honesty.

You have to be able to tell
Helena how you feel.

Where did you get this?

Jasper, did you hear what I said?

I'm standing right here,
of course I did.

Oh, I found it about five minutes ago.

Adelaide with Lady Cynical.

Hm. Lady Cynthia.

Oh, you were correct.

My mother has written 'Lady Cynical'.

It seems she is trying to solve
this case from beyond the grave.

- Could you call me a taxi?
- Sure.

A double first
from Cambridge University.

Does my mother mention that
to the lady of the manor? No.

I fell off my bike.

That is what she talks about.

Flo?

Florence?

I'm being followed.

Who? Who-who's following you?

No!

Flo? Florence?!

Um, we... we, we have to go.

Flo just called.
She, she screamed.

The line went dead.
We have to go.

The rope that connects
the living to the dead...

Flo! Flo!

Where are you?

Uh, could you stop the car please?

Flo?!

Flo!

Flo...

Billy...

Stan comes here to fish.

He's, um, wanted back
at the hall. I...

You drove the mini bus?

- Yes.
- Hm.

Quite a distance for Stan to walk.

Yeah, well, he, uh, he loves fishing.

Hm. So, you assumed
that you'd find him here?

Yeah.

Even though his equipment
is still in the mini bus?

We're looking for a young
woman, Florence Wray,

brown hair, mid-20s, average height.

We've got a warrant
for the whole property,

so every bush, all the outhouses,

leave no stone unturned, okay?
Every second counts.

I hope you don't mind me asking,

as you wreck my home and shred
the tranquility of my guests,

how long is this going to take?

It will take as long as it takes.

Flo told Billy she was upset
about Kendrick.

She decided to go home.

Did you bother to call her
or was your first instinct

to send for the goon squad?

Florence wanted to talk yesterday

before Lady Cynthia interrupted.

Florence Wray, I think we can assume,

was about to reveal
that the rituals here

center around the use of ayahuasca.

It is a class A drug,
hence the uniform denial.

It was imperative that 12 hours passed

before Kendrick Mailer
received medical attention...

To make sure that the drugs
had left his system.

Exactly.

Flo wanted to call an ambulance.
Someone stopped her.

Well, hang on.

The search team found nothing, right?

No traces of drugs
in the house or the grounds.

Lady Cynthia runs a tight ship.

Where'd you pull ayahuasca from?

Ten years in the job,
I've never once come across it.

Yesterday in our encounter with Stan,

he referred to the medicine

as 'a rope between
the living and the dead'.

In the Quechua language,

'aya' means ancestor,
'huasca' means rope.

- If you're right...
- I am.

...that means that Flo
is a threat to everybody here.

- If she's alive.
- Yeah.

- Right. We're making arrests.
- Yeah.

Professor Tempest
saw you down by the river.

I was looking for Stan.

Billy, we think you went
to the river looking for Flo.

If she was in trouble,
you would want to help.

Of course.

Come on Billy, we're losing time.

Billy... are you scared
of Lady Cynthia?

Billy is not ready to let go
of his mother.

His mother?

His surrogate mother.
I should talk with him.

Uh, no.

A young woman is missing.
Time is running out.

Does that not obviate the luxury
of correct procedure?

W-What am I doing here?

Three weeks ago, my mother died.

As you no doubt recall, such
an event changes everything.

I was at my most vulnerable
and Lady Cynthia exploited this.

She invaded the grieving process
for her own ends.

Purely to distract me
from investigating the death

of your friend Kendrick.

You're wrong.

Lady Cynthia is the kindest
person I have ever known.

I, um...

I found this today
amongst my mother's things.

I assume she saw my mother's
obituary in the local paper,

remembered her, and then
recognized my surname.

She used my mother's death
just as she used yours.

Knowing that you had been
awarded compensation,

she preyed on your grief.

She just wanted your money.

Lady Cynthia may have taken
the place of your mother,

but you have other loyalties.

You were not able to prevent
Kendrick's death,

but you can save Flo.

I... I saw Cynthia and Stan.

She was angry.

This is a big problem,
do you understand?

Florence has to go,
and she does not come back.

By the time I got to the car park,

Flo's car was gone.

And so was Stan.

I took the mini bus.

Stan took Flo because Cynthia
told him to?

He shot his dog
because its barking annoyed her.

So Stan, do you recognize this person?

Florence.

That's right, Florence, yeah.

And can you, can you tell me,

when was the last time you saw her?

I can't do this... I can't...

Ma'am?

Is that Stan?

November '92.

Lord Stansfield.

Lady Cynthia's taken him
for everything.

She's not from money.

Her father's unknown,
her mum's a cleaner.

Stan had a mental collapse
after an ayahuasca addiction

and Cynthia's been controlling
him ever since.

I can't! I let her down!

Stan, listen to me. It's okay.
Who did you let down?

Cynthia.

She told me to 'deal with her'.

Stan, what did you do to her?

Stan, what did you do?

Two seven five to control.

Subject located, requesting EMS.

You alright, love?

Kendrick was off his face.

First time, you don't know how
ayahuasca's going to hit you.

And I kept asking him to stop.

Let the magic flow!

Billy came over and grabbed him
by the shoulder,

barely touched him.

But Kendrick fell.

Why didn't I do the right thing?

You did.

When it was too late.

She told me to 'deal with her'.

But...

That's your evidence, is it?

We found Flo.

She will testify that you ordered her

not to call an ambulance
for Kendrick Mailer.

Which is the cause of his death.

Scarlet Osgood and most of your guests

will testify to the same effect.

No ambulance.

That would put every single
person here at risk.

People like that,

they'll say anything to save
their skins, posh bastards!

Cynthia, you are under arrest.
You do not have to say...

Lady Cynical.

My mother always was
an excellent judge of character.

I got your message.

I wanted to explain.

This...

It has nothing to do with my mother.

It is to keep you safe.

I know it is not rational.

It's to dissipate tension?

I had never considered the possibility

that my mother would die.

Her death... means
everyone is in danger.

- So, it is about your mother.
- No, no. The...

The intensity of... these
obsessive compulsive behaviors,

they are entirely commensurate
with the strength

of my feelings for you.

Oh...

Well...

Might there be other ways
to express those feelings?

Although that would greatly
increase the danger,

I could, I... I suppose...

I mean, I could perhaps...

kiss you.

You could.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Uh!

Jasper?

It has to be now.
