C.B. STRIKE

LETHAL WHITE

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

You look...

- Terrible.
- It's this jacket. It needs taking in.

Anyway, I'm not staying.
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry

and I want you back.

- What ?
- Come back.

To work. Have the job back.

Sorry, I haven't slept.

You didn't have to be so dramatic,
you know.

Bursting into the church.
You could have just called.

- I did.
- No, you didn't.

I've left four messages.
I assumed you'd blocked me.

Why would I ?

Cormoran ? I just...

It's a bit of a strange day to be...

Yeah, sorry. Go and mingle.

Will you stay though.
I want to talk to you properly.

- Promise me you'll stay ?
- I'll stay.

- Hi, beautiful. I was just saying...
- We need to talk.

It's a devil to cut a cake like that
and have it not fall apart,

but then I thought,
well it's Robin's cake,

she's always loved that cake,

and maybe what's needed
is a different type of icing

and actually using fondant...

Ladies and gentlemen,
let's usher in the night

as we gather next door
for the first dance !

- What're you doing ?
- Just, give me one minute.

Cormoran ?

Are you sure ?

Yeah. I am.

One Year Later

Look. Across the day as a whole I'd
say there was more good than bad.

Your job was to follow the taxi.

Yeah. And I did do that.

You don't think crashing a moped
into the back of it

might have tipped them off ?

Do you think you'll need me
again this week ?

I think it's unlikely.

Take him off the list
of subcontractors.

Sorry... Do you want me to do that ?

- Hiyah.
- How's the dodgy doctor ?

- He played squash after work.
- Did you know who he's playing with ?

A man with a beard.

Don't think he'll be trading sex
for a free boob job.

What's the name of my six o'clock ?

No, he called this morning
to rearrange.

The meeting I've just come all
the way across London for...

- Well. See you both tomorrow.
- See you...

Good night, Mr. Strike.

Is the work mostly people
cheating on each other ?

- Mostly.
- It's not what I thought it would be.

- Hello. Good day.
- Yeah, you ?

It's like Tetris only the boxes
don't vanish if you make a line.

- How was your day ?
- The usual.

- Hiyah.
- Morning.

Don't touch anything. Take pictures.

I seen a girl strangled.

- They strangled her up there.
- My name's Cormoran Strike.

- Do you wanna sit down ?
- Don't ask me things !

I shouldn't even be talking.
Just listen.

Okay, the girl, the girl I saw killed,

she's in the dell
behind my dad's cottage.

He helped them bury her there.

I can't go...

I'd like to help you.
But please don't hurt yourself.

You can tell me anything, okay.
We'll look after you.

They buried her in a pink blanket.

They didn't know I seen them,
but I did.

- And they buried her.
- Where's your dad's house ?

No... I can't...

I start every investigation
the same way.

My client writes down their name and
address so I can keep them updated.

You came here to ask for our help.
We can help you.

You're one of our clients now.
So, please...

Yeah, but you'll tell the police,
and you can't do that.

Him and his mates they control
the police. Then, he'll find out.

- What's your name ?
- Billy.

- Billy, this is Robin.
- Hi, Billy.

We can move forward
much quicker on this,

if we know how to get hold of you,
so please.

He put her on the eye

and choked her.

And she pissed herself as she died.
She wasn't big.

She was little and she had
long brown hair.

And I can't not see it !

I can't hold it in and...

- When was this ?
- Six. I was about six.

- My days !
- Who are you ?

- Would you like a cuppa tea, Billy ?
- I only did it so you'd know !

I only did that so you would know !
Forget this.

- You have to.
- Billy ?

- You alright ?
- I'm fine.

Are you alright ?

I want to get paid for the whole day,
but I'm not coming back.

Okay.

Do you think he was suffering
with psychosis or...

He's definitely ill. But it doesn't
mean he's not telling the truth.

The pink blanket, the girl wetting
herself. It's all very specific.

I believe him.

- That could be a five ?
- Maybe an eight ?

- I didn't know people still did this.
- It's a classic.

I left my phone filming so I should
have some good images of him.

Should we maybe call
round psychiatric hospital ?

Their job will be a lot easier if we
can give them a definite address.

- Charlemont Road.
- Should we maybe go there ?

Can't hurt, can it ?

Let's just see where this goes.

There's one toothbrush
in the bathroom.

There's one bed made-up.

There's lots of books
on class warfare.

And in the wardrobe, there's a banner
with the word "CORE" written on it.

And some porn.

Horse. Skirting board.

Hair on the sleeping bag's the same
length and color as Billy's.

If he has been staying here,
I don't think it's his permanent home.

The good news is, it's Tuesday.

What happens on Tuesday ?

Tuesday's when whoever lives
here changes the world.

We've got a few hours to kill.

We could show the photos of Billy
to the local shops ?

Actually...
I've got somewhere I should be.

- Okay.
- I could probably stay for a bit.

No, I'll cover it.

Okay.

Community-Organized Resistance.

It means taking back what is ours !

There's ghost towers all over London.

Empty flats as
an off-shore investment.

Call it "the West Bank strategy".

You build an illegal settlement
then cry racism at the protestors.

Over there they enforce it
with the IDF.

Here they use property law,
but it's all the same thing.

The people's land gets stolen out
from under them.

Those of you who don't know me,
my name is Jimmy Knight.

Come and say hello, get involved.
Cheers.

- There you go, madam.
- Thank you.

- You speak Polish ?
- Only a bit.

And mate, you need to stop calling
people "Madam". It's deferential.

Sorry, I didn't understand all ?

Only speaking English
is classic imperialism.

Just cos someone is English
and it's not your first language

doesn't mean they are better than you.

All speaking three languages shows
is you went to a very posh school.

Fuck off ! And I'm not taking
lectures on posh

when you've got me cleaning toilets
and scrubbing sinks.

That's hardly a job.

So feminism is what, now ?
A minor aspect of Communism ?

What's absurd is saying Afghanistan
was Dubya's women's lib project !

I'm not sure even feminism
justified an illegal war.

I was there. In the army.

The whole war was about
equal pay and paternity leave.

- Who are you ?
- My name's Cormoran.

- Any of you know Billy ?
- Why ?

He gave me one of these,
encouraged me to come along.

I liked him. I thought
I might run into him.

- Where'd you see him ?
- Is he a friend of yours ?

He's his brother.

Has anyone got
a phone number for him ?

Email ? I'd like to know he's okay.

No need. I look after him.

- That's not really what I asked.
- Yeah, I heard what you asked.

Another time then, comrades ?

All I could do was try not to pass out.

I need to be better than that.

My job depends on me being better than
that and I don't think this is helping.

No the behavioral therapy was useful.

And getting a bike instead
of taking the tube, that was good,

but this part, I just...

Last week you talked about
Matthew blocking your phone

and how you chose to still go
on honeymoon.

Perhaps we could explore that
a little further ?

The waters amazing. It's like a bath.

- You can't go in at all ?
- You know I can't.

That's a shame.

Suppose it's the price you pay.

- For what ?
- For working for him.

What for ? For catching a murder ?

For putting a child-abuser in prison ?
What exactly did you mean, Matt ?

What it's the price I pay,
for being happy.

And are you ?

- With work, I am. Yeah.
- What do you mean by that ?

I mean, you know I love my job,
or I thought you did.

I literally...
I can't say anything can I ?

Every time I come out of here...

I go home feeling wrung out.

And my husband does the same thing.
Pushing me. And my mum on the phone.

The only person who isn't
at me all the time

is my work partner.

- Mr. Strike.
- Yeah.

But have you told him about the acute
anxiety you're experiencing ?

The panic attacks ?

I've moved to a new place,
so that'll help.

New start. New memories.

This is going to be my last one.

Mr. Strike. Could I have a word ?

Why does nobody in your office
pick up the phone ?

I called twice this morning,
well within office hours.

We've been a bit short-staffed.
Sorry, who are you ?

Don't play games. I'm Jasper Chiswell,
as you very well know.

The Minister ?

I'm not gonna yammer in the street.
Get in.

- Can I ask...
- We'll talk at my club.

Sturges, call ahead and have them find
a jacket for my guest. A large one.

So do you work like a solicitor ?

As in, you can't ever be hired
by both sides of the dispute ?

My clients trust me.
My reputation depends on that.

I have to say... I looked you up
yesterday and I thought, Christ,

he is one who actually looks like
he could do a number on somebody.

Thanks ?

And nobody's ever approached you
concerning me ? In any capacity ?

No. Was there may be a job
you'd like to discuss ?

Follow me.

- Could I have some mustard ?
- Yes, of course, sir.

- Anything for you, sir ?
- No. My taste buds are shot.

It'd just make things look yellow.

Couple more potatoes wouldn't hurt ?

I am being blackmailed. By two men.
I haven't paid them anything, yet.

I assumed it would
only encourage them.

That's often how it goes.
Have you gone to the police ?

No, and I shan't be doing that.

Only takes one bent copper
to flog it to a newspaper.

And besides, one of the men
is intent on destroying me.

I doubt he'd be deterred.

What they blackmailing you over ?

My conscience is clear,
that's all you need know about that.

I'd thought it would be fine, but...

Apparently now there are pictures.
And once they get hold of those...

I need something I can use
against them.

The threat of "an eye for an eye"
do you see ?

So that everybody
has something to lose.

So who are the two men ?

Geraint Winn. He runs the office
for his wife Della, the MP.

She's blind, isn't she ?
She's done some work with veterans.

Never bloody shuts up about it.

Listening to her you'd think
that playing a game

with a full set of limbs
is a kind of cheating.

The other man's a very different fish.
He's hard-left.

One of those people whose against
everything. His name's Jimmy Knight.

Minister, can I ask you, how you knew
I've been looking for Billy Knight ?

- His brother ?
- Billy ?

I shan't go into any of that.
Your assignment is to protect me.

You don't need to know my business.

In that case, thank you for the lunch,
I wish you the very best of luck.

No. No, you can't just leave me
with this thing.

Sit !

Will you please sit ?

I've had a policeman
watching Jimmy Knight.

I said that he'd threatened to disrupt
Wimbledon. So they kept an eye on him.

He identified you at Knight's house.

If you take the job,
I can let that man go.

I'd be glad to do that.
He's a waste of public funds.

I'll pay whatever it takes.
Just begin, would you ?

I need haste.
No phone calls, no emails.

I know what we're capable of
in that regard.

We'll discuss things in person.

Are you hired ?

So you stayed in the Army
after you lost your leg.

I was SIB.

Yes, I know, you investigated
my son's death.

I remember you from the report.
You've an unusual name.

Freddie went into my old regiment.

Well, it was the Queen's Royal
Hussars by the time he joined.

He had so much promise.

He'd be running
the family estate by now.

We made him a coffin
from one of our oaks.

Cut from the woods
where he used to play.

I'm very sorry. He was
your eldest child, wasn't he ?

Yes eldest of four.
I've got two girls

and then there's the other boy,

Raphael.

He's had problems all his bloody life.
Can't stick with anything.

My friend here, Drummond is giving him
a chance. But he'll squander it.

My wife thinks he's a lost cause.

Jasper. Hello.

- I'll be with you in a moment Henry.
- Of course.

You really never knew Freddie ?
It's a shame.

He was one hell of a boy.

Cormoran, that's amazing !
A government minister for a client !

We might even be able to afford
a new lock for the door !

- You know who his son is, don't you ?
- Yeah.

I did the investigation
into Freddie's death. He was a shit.

Never had so many people ask me, if an
officer had been killed by his own men.

No, I actually meant
the younger one, Raphael ?

Chiswell mentioned
he's had trouble settling down ?

That's one way to put it !

He got high and ran over
a young mother. Killed her.

- He got a really light sentence.
- I expect his dad helped with that.

I'm not sure we'll cover all this.

Chiswell's job needs
two people undercover.

Dodgy Doc is a full-time job as well.

- Couldn't we put Emerson...
- I fired him. He was rubbish.

It's alright though,
I know a few ex squaddie's...

The other thing is, the Chiswell
job's gonna require the operative

to do something that
I'm not sure you'd...

Anything you'd do, I'd do.

Hear me out, before you decide that.

You'd be posing as the Minister's
Goddaughter doing an internship.

And under that cover you'd bug the
office of one of the blackmailers.

- Geraint Winn.
- What's the legal situation ?

It's a grey area. The Minister will
get the bugs in using his Red Box.

That's never searched. But you don't
want to get caught placing them.

I'd do it, but my face
has been in the papers.

Not sure I'd make a convincing
Goddaughter either.

I'll do it. I'm in.

Okay.

Are you gonna cover Dodgy Doc ?

Yeah. But I'm mainly gonna
be looking for Billy.

Pretty sure Chiswell knows who Billy
is. I could see it on his face...

Didn't ask him about the strangled girl.

We'll tread carefully on this one.

- Are they gonna find me ?
- They won't. Not yet.

Just do what I tell you
and I'll look after you. Alright ?

Do it !

- What is it ?
- Delivery for your husband.

I'm afraid he has to sign for it.

Jasper ! Work.

If my partner gets caught
planting these,

she'll deny you had anything
to do with it.

You can say she fooled you, claiming
to be an old friend's daughter.

- Yes.
- If she does get caught...

I hope you'd do everything in your
power to make the problem go away.

- The girl's competent, isn't she ?
- Extremely.

Shouldn't be an issue then, should it ?
Good night.

- Fuck !
- What have you done ?

- It's for work.
- Thank God for that.

Because it knock you down to a B-plus.

Hey I'm kidding !

Listen, that's a compliment !
Means you're normally way up there.

You're an A Plus, Rob.
You always have been.

Thank you...

Hello, I'm Venetia Hall.

I like the choice of name.
It's very pretty.

- Thank you...
- I'm Izzy.

- This is a bit incredible.
- I know.

It's the heart of the capital.
Along with Selfridges !

We do have a lot of mice,
so it's not all glamour.

Quite a few rats.

And far too many Labour MPs.
Can't seem to get rid of them !

Actually some of them are lovely...

I know it's a bit tragic, forty
and still working for your father...

But, anyway, here we are !
Our humble parliamentary abode.

Papa left some things on your desk,
for you. You're expecting them, no ?

Della and Geraint's office
is just a few doors down. Okay ?

- You can sit there.
- Thank you.

You're very calm, I must say.
Cool as the proverbial concombre.

- Here he is.
- Afternoon, Barclay. Pint ?

- Can't hurt, can it ?
- Pair of the usual, please, Steve.

- Still smoking ?
- I'm vaping it now.

Me and the wife had a baby, so...
Health kick.

So, if you're looking to score,
sorry, but I'm no your man.

- I was gonna offer you a job.
- Doing detective stuff ?

I'm not vaping every night. I could
knock it on the head if I had to.

I'd start you on thirty hours a week.
You'll bill me as a freelancer.

What's the gig ?

That's is Jimmy Knight. He leads a
housing activist group called CORE.

I need you to get in with him.

You'll have to admit to being ex-army.
You look like a squaddie.

No problem, I'll be the poor wee lad

who never knew what he was getting
himself in to, they love that shite.

Let them patronize me.

Say you've been drifting
since you left the army

and you're looking for a new cause.

Well it shouldn't be too hard
to convince him there.

- You gonna tell me what he's done ?
- Nope. You're gonna tell me that.

Another thing, he's got
a brother called Billy.

If Billy turns up,
drop everything and call me.

And stay with him until I get there.

Is that what you've being paid
to do then ? Find Billy Knight ?

Can you start today ?

I mean it's just been ghastly
for Papa these last few months.

He's under so much strain.
Well, we all are.

Thanks ! Raff's being helping out a bit

when he's not at the gallery
chasing Henry's assistants,

which is not what his Art History degree
was meant for, but there we are !

Anyway, I'm thrilled you're here.
You'll sort things out, won't you ?

We'll do our best.

I have to tell you, I had a total crush
on Cormoran when we were younger.

I didn't know you knew him.

Met him at Oxford when
he was dating Charlie.

He was just so unapologetic.

He obviously never gave
a toss what people thought.

Thought about what ?

Well him and Charlotte !
I mean, she could have had anyone

but he acted like he was definitely
good enough for her. It was very sexy.

What can you tell me
about Geraint Winn ?

Horrible little man.

Him and Della
have always been off with us.

I think they're bitter.

See we were a big family
and well their only child died.

She committed suicide, didn't she ?
I read about that.

It must have been awful for them,

but it does a tiny bit make
you wonder how they were as parents.

I should go and introduce myself.

Come.

Hello ! So sorry to interrupt, I have
no idea how to use the phone system,

I really wanted to introduce myself.
Is that okay ?

Yes of course ! But...

So I've got an internship her.
But I also was thinking

maybe I want a career
in the third sector charity world.

And everyone said you have
to talk to Geraint Winn,

because he does both really brilliantly,

running her office and their charity,

and I thought, get over it,
just chuck yourself in there, Vee !

Is that totally awful ?

Charity and politics.
It's a juggle, I won't lie.

Aamir, look after our guest.

Cup of tea ?

Lovely ! Would you mind awfully
if I had Earl Grey with soya milk ?

- I'm not sure they're gonna have...
- He'll track some down.

- So, what was your name ?
- Venetia. A bit like the blinds.

- God, shit, I'm so sorry.
- Why ?

Because of Della being blind.

We've got tougher skins than that !

Would you mind if I charge my phone ?

It's about to die, I'll be in trouble
if they can't reach me.

- Go for your life.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

- Need a hand ?
- No. I'm just...

It's just a bit, you know,
I think I've bent my charger.

- Anyway. Thanks though. Thank you.
- No. Wait. Come here.

Come and take a seat and let me
show you what we've just done.

- Our new campaign video...
- Thank you.

Here we go.

Most sports test the human body.

So this is who we are, Venetia

Makes his achievements
more remarkable.

Five months after my accident...

Lovely chap.

So what do you think ?

I have somewhere I need to be,
so, sorry, thank you.

- What about your tea ?
- Thank you so much.

It's okay ! Sorry !

Are you...

Are you alright, dear ?

- Asthma...
- Got an inhaler ?

I'll be fine. I just need a second.

You take your time.

Women don' just take off and leave
like that for no bloody reason.

I'm not a fool
so don't take me for one !

She just freaked out,
I barely even said hello.

I mean can't you do something useful
with your pathetic little life ?

- What'd he do to you ?
- Sorry ?

I saw you belt out of the room.
Did he make a pass ?

- Dad, I'm not...
- Be quiet, boy !

I had no idea he was in here. I got a
shock and then I needed the loo.

- He didn't do anything.
- First time for everything, I suppose.

What are you doing here anyway ?
You're not due for another hour.

I thought you valued punctuality ?

Being early is not punctual.
Being on time is punctual.

- Give him something to do, will you.
- And who are you ?

Venetia Hall. I'm interning.

- Are you ?
- She's my Goddaughter. Robert's girl.

Before your time.

These wheelchair athlete-chaps.

Miller wants to know if do we have
a ramp on every bloody staircase.

Not on the main flight, no.

If you went down that
in a wheelchair you'd take off.

It'd be like a ski ramp !
But there is a lift.

So long as we don't have civil
servants giving them a piggyback.

Kinvara, come on. Jump to it.

I hope you learn a lot.

So... This is Raffy.

I'm so sorry.
I completely over-reacted.

No it's okay. For the record,
not a sex-offender.

Although, I have been an offender...

- You don't have to...
- No, I prefer people knowing.

I messed up. I knocked someone
down when I was high. I did that.

And I have to hope that people believe
in the possibility of redemption.

I think everyone makes mistakes.

Thank you. That's very nice of you.

Anyway, what's your story ?
It's Venetia, isn't it ?

Some people call me Vee
but I've never really liked that.

In our family, that'd see you called Vee
for the rest of your life.

We're merciless.

Come to supper this week ?

That'd be a joy.
Maybe we can invite Vee to join us ?

Maybe. Off you go then !

Take these to the Ministry.

I'm so sorry. It's like he can't speak
words without flirting.

Italian mother.

Not to be racist,
but I honestly think it's a factor.

The directors are Jasper Chiswell
and Jack Knight,

nature of the business is listed
as "general exporting".

Do you have any more detail,
or is it just what's on the website ?

Yeah, two brothers.
Jimmy and Billy Knight.

I doubt they'd have been there
together. There's a big age gap.

Do you happen to have
their old address ?

Wear the grey one.

- It think it makes me look pale.
- I like you pale.

Alright. I'll wear the grey one.

You look nice, Sarah.

Do you mean the earrings ?
Engagement present. Bit OTT.

I'm going to be a kept bloke. Sarah's
about to auction a Constable...

Stubbs. Should go for at least
twenty mil if the market holds.

Cheese.

Alright Corm, mate, come on in.
Welcome to the new gaff.

Thanks. This is Lorelei.
Lorelei, Matthew.

Hi. Gorgeous road.

- What have we have here then ?
- Chorizo and manchego.

Classic double-act.
Guys, dig in. Thank you, darling.

So nice to finally meet you.

- Cheese.
- Yes, please, thank you.

Hi, Lorelei.
I've heard so much about you.

I'm confident he doesn't actually
talk about either of us.

- A bottle of wine and a present.
- Thank you.

It's a nice house. You pleased ?

Any luck with Billy ?

I didn't find him.
But I found out where he grew up.

Their dad had a worker's cottage
on the Chiswell family estate.

So the cottage with the dell...
And the girl ?

Yeah. Jack Knight ran an export
business with Jasper Chiswell.

I'm going to go up there tomorrow.
See what I can find.

- I'll drive.
- What about House of Commons ?

- Equipment's all in place.
- Okay.

Manchego ! Robin, we've got the need,
the need for cheese.

Well, I better take these around.

And we should meet your friends.

No, they're not mine. They're mostly
Matt's colleagues from work.

- Do you want us not to talk to them ?
- No. I mean, enjoy yourself.

Cheese.

Hi, Cormoran.

I've made a mistake. I think I want...

Sorry, this isn't Cormoran.
I can wake him up, if it's urgent ?

Hello ?

Matt, are you awake ?

This has got nothing to do
with anyone else,

but I've been going over it all.
And I can't...

I think we need to go back.

I want to tell our parents
that we're separating.

- Mum !
- Matt ?

Matt !

I don't feel well.

God...

Hi. We need to send for a doctor. Tell
him bring antibiotics. It's urgent.

Yeah. Okay thank you.

Matt ?

Please don't leave me.

I won't.

And she bakes...

Did you have an alright night ?

You can make it up to me now.

I've got to get through today.

Yes. I know.

I'll call you. As soon as I can.

You call has been forwarded...

- Hello ?
- Hello, can I speak to Robin please ?

She's on her honeymoon.

She went ?

Of course she went ! You weren't
expecting her to work, were you ?

Sorry, I got my dates wrong.

Don't tell her I called.

I thought Lorelei seemed lovely.

Jack Knight's business address
is part of the Chiswell Estate.

- Billy more or less grew up here.
- What did the business do ?

I can't find anything about that.

Got an address through deliveries
to his workshop. That's it...

Look. Up there.

Have you got the bit with Billy
talking about the eye ?

Yeah.

He put her on the eye

and choked her.

A girl was strangled here,
and a six-year-old boy witnesses it.

Were they brought here specifically ?
Was it some sort of ritual ?

Girl I saw killed, she's in the dell
behind my dad's cottage.

He helped them bury her there.
They buried her in a pink blanket.

They didn't know I seen them.
But I did.

They buried her.

When Billy says helped "them".

Could he mean the Chiswell family ?

Do we know who we're working for ?

Chiswell estate's that way.

The tracks overgrown...

Probably hasn't been
used since he died.

What we want is old paperwork,

anything with an address
for the cottage.

Cormoran!

Round here.

Maybe they made furniture ?

Billy's been carving
those for a long time.

There's a cottage marked here.
It's on the Chiswell estate.

Buried her behind the cottage...
It has got to be it.

What do you think ?

This must be the dell.

- My fucking leg...
- You alright ?

I can't fucking feel it
when it catches something !

Let me go. Yeah.

Yeah. I'll be fine...

Robin !

- You okay ?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I can see it.

Cormoran...

I can see bones.
