Everything's fine, Els, I promise. Please don't worry.

My feeling is that we both need a bit of time apart.

Who is she? It didn't mean anything. It's over.

The bullet passed through the left lung, exiting here.

If we find the bullet that killed her,

NABIS could even link us to a known offender.

Key information should really come to me first.

When you're in the office, I'll make sure they bring you stuff first.

I've decided I wanted shared custody now.

I'm not thinking I should have a termination.

Does that completely horrify you?

Taking advantage of a woman's inability to say "no"

because she's too drunk is not bloody funny.

I'm arresting you on suspicion of robbery and GBH.

J: What are you talking about?!

I am sorry.

So I'm giving you one last chance.

Our victim is also our thief.

Her name is Precious Falade. We're looking for a next of kin.

That would be her son or her mother.

We found a body in a house in Hammersmith,

and we believe that it's your daughter.

WAILS: No!

You don't recall ever visiting her there? No.

It told us what we needed. Which is what?

That she was lying.

DISTANT SIRENS

I've told you before, I'm not buying you Coco Hoops.

But why not? Cos they're not good for you.

They are, Mum. Honestly, I promise. PHONE RINGS

They're not good for me, then. Right, coats, bags.

RINGING CONTINUES There you are.

DEBBIE: 'Sorry, work's been mad.'

Have you spoken to Mum? Did she tell you what happened?

Yeah, listen, what time do you finish work?

Can I come meet you? Yeah, er... maybe six?

But, look, I can't guarantee anything.

I'm right in the middle of a...

'What about that place we went to before we saw Dolly?'

Er, sure, but.. 'I'm running into a meet.'

I'll see you at six? Debs...

CALL DISCONNECTS, SIGHS

Sunny?

"Bye, then." I... um...

Miles away. Have a lovely day.

PHONE RINGS Erm, we'll talk later tonight, yeah?

Sure. Er... Erm, sorry.

I've got to take this. I'll be back home early.

OK? Love you.

Thomas, the plasterboard, what have you got for me?

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

DRAWER OPENS

IN POLISH:

The loneliness, the inequality,

the hostility at the time I was there.

It wears you down, man.

And down, and down.

Till you become someone who isn't you.

Someone you don't even like.

PHONE RINGS

But apart from that...

IN POLISH:

IN FRENCH:

OK, so her friends, her family, any criminal associates.

Where did she live? If she worked, where did she work?

Basically, the more we know about her,

the more chance we have of working out how she died.

So, Murray, let's see if she had a bank account,

ditto mobile phone.

I want to know when everything stopped -

her last phone call, last bank transaction.

Both could help determine date of death. Ma'am.

Er, any update on the C&C check on the house?

Coming later today, apparently. OK.

Er, so, we have now identified her mother

and had a preliminary chat with her.

Er, Karen, anything on Ebele Falade on PNC?

Yeah. Just a bit. Erm...

Multiple arrests.

All apart from one seem to be alcohol-related.

Two D&D convictions, several thefts, several community penalties.

But then, back in 1986, we have an ABH charge

against a doorman of a City stockbrokers' office.

But here's the thing - it involved a firearm.

Any details on it?

Trying to see what we can dig up with the intel team.

And when did the other offences range from?

Early '80s to 2016.

JESS CLEARS THROAT OK. Erm...

So, we also now know that she had a grandson,

erm, Precious's son, Joseph.

Did you get anything more from social services on him, Frances?

Not a lot, Ma'am, erm...

Other than he was born in 1998 in Wales. OK.

Again, quite a criminal record.

Er, we have various theft charges,

lots of drugs - possession and supply -

and then a gang-related battery charge

for which he did six months

at Prestwythn Young Offenders in 2014.

No current address for him. OK.

Let's go back to social services

and see if we can find him through them in Wales.

Am I right in thinking that Precious was transferred

to West London Social Services at some point?

October 2015.

OK, well, let's speak to them, see what they can give us.

Again, check in with PNC and link in with intel.

There's obviously a common thread growing of drink and violence

which may be germane to Precious's death.

Mm-hm. OK. Any more for any more?

Just one more thing, Ma'am.

I did actually test the rest of the plasterboard...

..and, erm, it is all from the '60s.

There's no modern bit. Right.

So... how does that work, then, given that we now know

that our victim is from 2016 at the earliest?

Well, the tech lab thinks it's been reused

because... TEXT ALERT

Sorry. Hang on. TAPPING ON PHONE

Carry on.

Because they've used patches -

bits of, er, scrunched-up newspaper

that were used to fill in the bits that must have come off,

when it was taken down from wherever it was originally.

Why would you reuse plasterboard, though? Costs nothing.

Maybe if you were completely skint?

Maybe if you don't want any trace that you ever bought it?

I guess.

The more interesting thing, though,

is that the newspaper has a date on it.

Which means that if it was patched up when it went up,

then the chimney breast was covered on the 12th of July 2016.

OK, like that.

Thanks, everyone.

Oh, yeah, just one thing.

Can we lose the "Ma'am", everyone?

Just... "Guv" is fine.

"Guv" it is.
