C.B. STRIKE

LETHAL WHITE

It's open.

Are you okay ?

- Where's Chiswell ?
- He's...

How did you get in ?

The door wasn't shut properly.

- Have you called the police ?
- Not yet.

He doesn't have a pulse though,
I've checked.

- Got a spare pair of gloves ?
- Yeah.

I'm going to have a quick look around.
In case anyone is still here.

Police, please.
My name's Cormoran Strike.

I've come to meet a government
minister and I've found him dead.

Can I give you the address ?
231 Ebury Street. SW1...

"You've been stressed
and unpleasant for a long time"

"and I've tried to help you,
but tonight was the final straw."

"How stupid do you think I am,"

"putting that girl from your office
right under my nose ?"

"I've had enough.
I've gone back to Oxfordshire."

"Once I've made arrangements for
the horses, I'll clear out for good."

The place is empty.

I think he's drunk something.
There's a residue in the glass.

There's some crushed
pills in the kitchen.

Do you think he left the door
open so we would find him ?

He seemed happy last night.
We'd solved his biggest problem.

Two weeks later

I feel bad that Izzy is paying
our bill out of her own pocket.

It won't be for nothing.

She will want to know
what the police are thinking.

Did you ask Wardle ?

DCI McMurran called him.
He's not allowed to talk to me.

She's done the same with every
Met detective I've worked with.

I suppose a dead Government minister
isn't a case you want to mess up.

Billy's been moved out
of critical care.

- Good. Can we see him ?
- We can try.

We'll head there
when we're finished here.

Thanks...

That's papa's last invoice,
paid in full.

It's appreciated. Thanks, Izzy.

The police still think it might
be suicide. It's not true.

See papa would never
have killed himself.

He always said it was
the coward's way out.

Kinvara murdered him.

- Have you any evidence for that ?
- I just know she did !

I want to hire you to prove it.

We can't take a case on those terms.
Either you want the truth,

however it turns out,
or you look for a different agency.

I'm just trying to save you time.

Seeing's I'll be paying
for your time. But...

- Let me ask you a question then ?
- Okay.

We heard the police where
digging on your family's estate ?

My God, that ? That was so bizarre.

Yeah, they just swooped in
and dug up one of our old pets.

- What kind of pet ?
- It was, like a...

A miniature pony we had.

It was buried behind
the handyman's cottage.

The police wrote to papa
and apologized.

How did the pony die ? Do you know ?

- It was an accident.
- What kind of accident ?

Freddie was doing target practice
with his rifle and...

Papa wasn't very happy,
even if he didn't mean to hit her.

You don't do that
to an animal, do you ?

Look, will you help me ? Please ?

Horse bones !

I suppose you might bury a pet
in the middle of the night

because you're in a hurry
to get rid of it.

Yeah, because you've used it
as target practice,

when you've run out of women
to humiliate.

- And his father protected him !
- We don't know that.

Yeah, you didn't hear the way that
Chiswell talked to Izzy and Kinvara.

They're not men.
So they just didn't matter to him.

Billy still saw a girl strangled
though, didn't he ?

If he was close enough
to see her wet herself,

he can't have been wrong
about that.

Yeah, I still believe him.

So Billy's been attacked
and Chiswell's dead.

And our new client pins it all
on the wicked step mother.

I suppose this whole estate
belongs to Kinvara now ?

Everyone, this is Cormoran Strike.

And I'm pleased to say that
he's agreed to look into papa's death.

This is my sister Fizzy
and her husband, Torquil. Please.

- Hi, Raff.
- Robin, is it ? Do I have that right ?

Izzy said you used to see
Charlotte Campbell, is that right ?

Lucky man.

If we could start
with a few general questions ?

I have to say,
with apologies to the girls,

but it's completely bloody obvious the
old man felt he just couldn't go on.

Blackmailed by this Jimmy Knight chap.
All got too much for him.

You didn't help in that regard.

Jasper took investment advice
from Torquil. Almost ruined us.

Kinvara, we've been through that !

He wanted high returns and that
always comes with a high-risk.

And now it's your child
who'll inherit what's left !

Not until I'm dead. I have the
right to stay. Jasper promised me.

Beyond Papa's personal effects,
you have no claim whatsoever.

The estate goes to
the next male in line.

And no bastards allowed !

You'd need an income for the upkeep.
How would you even pay the bills ?

Everyone, please...

Yes, let's focus on the real issues
while we have guests,

namely what a shit our Dad could be.

- You are only here by invitation.
- Go on, get your notebook out.

Start listing the shittiest
things that Dad did while...

- That's enough, boy !
- Don't call me "boy".

Little Raffy's upset 'cause
he got written out of the will.

I already knew that
you'd taken care of that.

Jasper needed no persuasion from me.
Trust me !

- Please, can everybody...
- Welcome to the family.

- This isn't a family.
- Keys.

How many keys are there
to the house on Ebury Street ?

There were three. Mine, Jasper's,
and the cleaner had one.

Jasper let her go when
we were tightening our belts.

- She forgot to give it back.
- When was that ?

I don't know.
Few weeks before he died.

- What was her name ?
- I don't know. I never met her.

She was Polish. I know that.

Jasper wrote her a note
and she had one of those surnames

where there are C's and Z's
all over the place.

You don't know her first name ?

Town was Jasper's concern.
I was hardly ever there.

- Any copies of the keys ?
- Nope. And you can't copy them.

They're restricted.
On some kind of central register.

When was the last time
you spoke to your husband ?

I went back to Ebury Street after
that thingy with the disabled athletes

and I left a note for him.

And then I came back here.
Got the train from Paddington.

Look, he treated me horribly.
I am not to blame for his doing that.

It's alright, Kinvara.
I don't believe for a second

papa would have killed himself
over you leaving him.

Can't you just borrow the police's
notes ? We've done this.

Just answer his questions.

You treat me like a guest
in my own home !

Well, no ! You're the guests.

I'm going for a ride and when
I get back, I want all of you gone.

You're no longer welcome here.

I'm sure our charming hostess means
to offer you tea at some point...

We're gonna have to sue to get her
out of here, if it comes to it.

- Please.
- Thank you for your time, everyone.

We'll follow up with each of you,
individually.

Sorry for your loss.

- So long, Venetia.
- Bye, Raff.

Lovely bunch, aren't they ?

I am thinking it might have
been suicide after all.

Couldn't face another
family gathering.

Bloody hell, Cormoran,
that's a bit dark !

Do you want me to drop you
at the office ?

No, let's try and see Billy.

Whatever this is, it began
with the girl he saw strangled.

Billy can't have visitors. Not until
we're confident that he's in recovery.

And are you sure that
all his wounds are self-inflicted ?

No, but they not typical of an assault.
They were more like...

I don't know quite how to describe it.

Is it something like...

Like that ?

How did you ?

Billy asked us to remember this shape
when he first came to see us.

It's a prehistoric chalk horse.

There's one on the hillside
near where he grew up.

- What does it mean to him ?
- That's what I'd like to ask him.

Could we just have five minutes ?
We'll leave if he gets upset.

Sorry. We really can't.

He doesn't have the capacity to approve
visitors. It wouldn't be ethical.

Is the ward secure ?

Well, he's not gonna run away again
if that's what you're worried about.

I was thinking about people trying
to get in. He witnessed a crime.

- We'll keep him safe.
- Thank you.

Our one lead can't talk to us.

The police won't letting us near the
evidence. Not sure where that leaves us.

I could talk to Vanessa Ekwensi ?

She won't be on McMurran's radar
in the same way your contacts are.

It'll be a big ask though.

She's a Detective Sergeant now,
isn't she ?

Maybe ask her if she's angling
for a promotion.

Can we offer her that ?

I think maybe we can...

- Ian Nash.
- Really ?

Who is he ?

He's a people-smuggler.
We've been after him for ages.

That's the detail
on how he launders his money.

- Names and addresses. The lot.
- Who's your source ?

Someone I've known since I was a kid.
He knows what he's talking about.

And I paid him. A lot.

Okay. Chiswell's cause of death.

Antidepressants, crushed up
and dissolved in orange juice.

That affected his heart but it's
the bag over his head that killed him.

Fingerprints ?

His fingerprints were
on the glass and on the carton.

But the rest of the carton
tested negative for the drugs,

which points to him mixing-up
the powder in the glass.

Time of death ?

Pathology gives it a window
of six-eight am,

but he missed two calls around seven.

I've phone records for you.

Are the pills that easy to get hold of ?

They're ones his wife uses.
She had a prescription for them.

Is she missing any ?

She said she had
packets everywhere

and wouldn't noticed
if some were missing.

Our client thinks it's murder.
What do you think ?

Well, to get the bag over his head,

I think you'd at least have
needed to drug him first ?

Poison the carton in the night.

And then replace it with a fresh one
in the morning. After he's dead.

A proper creature of habit.
Got up same time every morning.

And always had a glass
of orange juice to kick off.

- Do antidepressants taste of anything ?
- They're bitter.

Yeah, but Chiswell's taste buds
didn't work.

I saw him turn down mustard 'cause
he wouldn't be able to taste it.

That's two things
you'd have to know about him.

That he always drank a glass of juice,

and that he wouldn't
be able to taste the pills.

That's someone close to him.
Family or close friend.

Kinvara. Especially seeing
as they're her pills.

Yeah, but her alibi's watertight.
It's all on CCTV.

She took the train home to Oxfordshire

and her stable-girl stays over
to help the farrier first thing.

Her name's Tegan Barlow.

Apparently the floorboards creak
and Tegan would have definitely heard,

if Kinvara moved about.
It's a solid alibi.

Izzy's not gonna like that. What about
the alibis of those names I gave you ?

Jimmy Knight got cautioned
after he hit you.

He said he went back
to his girlfriend's.

And Geraint Winn was at home
with his wife

and an employee of theirs
called Aamir Mallik.

They had dinner and he stayed over.
He does that quite a lot, apparently.

Della Winn confirmed all that.

And the rest of the Chiswell family ?

All checked out,
or they're home asleep alone.

Kinvara called them to break
the news when the police arrived.

They were all home when she rang.
Again, the mast records check out.

- What time was that ?
- Ten thirty.

- And she had her key on her ?
- Yep.

Did you find that Polish
cleaner of theirs ?

She's vanished. Guys, that's everything
I've got. You've rinsed me.

Thanks, Vanessa.
We really appreciated.

I'll see myself out.

See you soon.

She's great, isn't she ?

Just looking at these seven am calls.

Henry Drummond and Christopher
Barrowclough-Burns.

Drummond's the one organizing
the sale of their paintings.

Chiswell came back from his place just
before we went to that athletics thing.

They must have had an argument.
He came back in a horrible mood.

We'll talk to him.

So let's assume somebody
poisoned the carton.

Chiswell gets up and pours himself
a glass, like he always does.

Now to make that look like a suicide

someone's got to get in afterward
set up the crushed-up pills,

replace the drugged carton with a fresh
one, do the fingerprints and the rest.

Now that's all easy after he's dead.
You just need access.

But Kinvara's got her key on her when
the police get to Chiswell House,

and the second one's found
on the Minister.

The cleaner's got the only other key.

This might be a long-shot.

I heard Jimmy's girlfriend
speaking Polish.

And she was complaining that Jimmy
was making her scrub toilets.

Maybe she could use
a new friend to talk to.

What do you think ?

- Alright ? I'm Becca.
- At least you're on time.

My other girl... Every day she's got
some new excuse. I just don't need it !

- Thanks for giving me a go.
- What time is this ?

- Tube was delayed.
- Of course it was !

There were some delays. I tried getting
here proper early. I got stuck as well.

- This is Bibi.
- Becca.

She's doing a trial-day for me.
So show her how everything works.

Right two things. Shoplifters ?
You go for them. No messing about.

Lunch is twenty minutes each,
and you take it separately.

Why'd you wanna work here ?

Went round all the shops.
She said yes, so that were it.

I need work. I got sacked last week.
Don't tell her that.

- Who by ?
- Amazon.

- What happened ?
- Didn't make my daily rate.

You get targets for packing
and scanning,

you get behind they're
straight onto you.

My dad would have been like:
"Well, what did you expect ?"

I dunno. It's not a nightmare, is it ?

- I'll show you how the till works.
- Thanks.

If Jimmy doesn't have a legal
responsibility for his brother

I just don't see how...

Yeah, no, I understand.
Send Billy my best.

- Don't...
- No, it's good.

- Who are you ?
- Becca. Needed a job.

Worker's rights activism runs in family.

- Favorite band ?
- The Cure.

- But nothing after 1989.
- Favorite album ?

- "Head on the Door."
- Favorite track on that album ?

"Push." Hands down, mate. No contest.

And if someone puts it on,
I can sing along word for word.

You win.

Does Sam know that he might bump
into me, got up like this ?

I've put him on Dodgy Doctor.

If we didn't have someone on that case,
we'd have lost the client.

- How's your day been ?
- Just spoke to Billy's doctors.

Jimmy's invoked next-of-kin stuff
to make sure we can't see him.

And I called Izzy's sister
for a follow-up.

Raff's been in touch. We're gonna
go for dinner in a few days.

You're liking Raff then ?

What's all this ?

I've put up some time and date stuff.
Mainly from Geraint and Jimmy file.

You know that text message on
Aamir's phone ? In Geraint's office.

He was meeting someone on the
thirteenth. I think it was at eight pm.

He wasn't with Della and Geraint ?
Who was he with ?

I don't know, I didn't see the number.
But they signed-off as CBB.

People who called Chiswell
the morning he died.

There's a CBB.
Christopher Barrowclough-Burns.

- Who is he ?
- I'll start to find out.

What you doing this evening ?

Revising, I suppose. One band
isn't really enough, is it ?

Makes me look obsessive
when I'm aiming

for "harmless and not that smart".

- Hello, stranger.
- Morning.

Have you got five minutes ? Stupid
question really. I know you haven't,

but all the same...

I'm sorry for saying "I love you."

- Christ, you don't need to apologize.
- No, listen.

I wish I could take it back but...

Well, these things happen.

Can we just go back
to how things were ?

Hanging out. Having fun.

I'm sorry. This case has been...

I was gonna call you.

Anyway. Yes, let's have dinner.
Tomorrow night ?

Okay. Great. Cheers !

That was easy.

How's your day looking ?

Got to go round someone's house
and call them a liar. You ?

Trying sell more dresses.

- You alright ?
- Me ?

- Yeah, why ?
- You just seem proper quiet.

I'm cool.

My boyfriend's being...

Say no more, mate.
Where you thinking of dumping him ?

No. Jimmy and me,
our life is my whole life.

No, it's just that...

We've been through some mental stuff.

We've been trying prove
that the people who make our laws

are the ones doing the illegal shit,

but, I think maybe it's having
a lawyer as a mum

it makes you super-aware
of how things can go.

What's Jimmy got you doing ?

I'm fine. Don't worry about me,

if Jimmy tries to make trouble for me,
he'll find out I own my own shit.

God I wish I had your balls.
I just get...

Freaked out by everything.

I mean London's just proper hard,
though. Nobody talks to you.

Do you want to come out tomorrow ?
I'm having a party.

- I don't want to be a...
- No, you'll love it.

My mates are amazing.

- Don't want to make a tit of myself.
- You're cool. I'll look after you.

Cool. Okay.

- Mr. Mallik.
- What do you want ?

I'm Cormoran Strike.
I'm an investigator.

Jasper Chiswell's family have
hired me. Can I come in ?

I won't take up much time.
It'd mean a lot to his family.

Okay.

Don't let me keep you
from your lunch.

It can wait.

What's really good with
cheese and pickle

is those crunchy fried onions things.
You can get them in tubs.

It was your partner who pretended
to be Chiswell's intern, wasn't it ?

Spot on. Could I have
a glass of water, please ?

Mind if I take some notes ?

I've not got anything to say.

Easier to have it to hand.
In case that changes.

So you think I had something to do
with Chiswell's death ?

If you want to blurt out a confession,
feel free. You'll save me a lot of work.

I'll tell you something I know.
Maybe we can start from there.

You were helping Geraint Winn
blackmail Jasper Chiswell.

I wasn't.

So you never met up
with Jimmy Knight ? For example.

Who's Jimmy Knight ?

He's the brother of the man
you had staying here.

Billy ? Has a thing about horses ?

It's a big place for one guy. How much
do the Winns help you out ?

- London's expensive, so...
- Who's Mrs. Collier ?

That was Della's mum.
She died recently.

So, it was empty. It's all legal.

This photo used to be
on the Foreign Office website.

They took you on as part
of a diversity scheme.

There you are, with a man
they assigned as your mentor.

Christopher Barrowclough-Burns.
CBB, as his friends call him.

Where were you at six am
on the fourteenth ?

At the Winns place. I stayed there.

- With Geraint.
- And Della. Yeah.

- So you we're all each other's alibi ?
- If you want to call it that.

What made you leave
the Foreign Office, Aamir ?

You keep going back-and-forth.
It's just...

- I didn't enjoy it.

- How did you meet the Winns ?
- I've had enough of this.

Your family disowned you about the
time that you left the Foreign Office.

Isn't that right ?
That was when the Winns found you.

Here you are graduating from LSE.
Your whole family there.

That was before they started
with the homophobic comments.

Out.

Why are you lying to me about where
you were at six am on the fourteenth ?

Get out now.

You'd stayed the night
with Christopher Barrowclough-Burns.

Don't.

Enough !

Are you gonna butter me ?

You try and hurt me again,
I'll snap it.

Stay down.

And when he came in,
guess who was sat on the sofa.

No. No way. My Lord...

- What're you doing here ?
- I need to talk to you.

Can you mind the shop for a bit ?

You know Caroline's hanging
out across the road ?

Is she ? Shit.

I mean, I can be out front
if you want the stockroom ?

I can say you're stock-taking
or somewhat.

- Who's this ?
- My mate Becca.

- Her dad's a trade unionist.
- Well, he was a rep.

Right come on then.

One second. Can I just get
a till roll ? And then it's all yours.

All yours.

You're a bad liar, Aamir.

And you're gonna get sent to prison
if you don't start telling the truth.

You won't get to share a cell
with Della and Geraint either.

Leave her out of it. Please. Della
had nothing to do with anything.

Don't you know what happens when an
MP gets caught lying to the police ?

It's over for them.

One last time, before I make
these calls and ruin her.

What were you doing
at six am on the fourteenth ?

- At his flat.
- Whose ?

- You know !
- Say it.

- Christopher's.
- Why where you there ?

I was trying to get something
off his computer.

Some stuff Geraint wanted. I swear
Della had nothing to do with it.

Where was Geraint ?

I don't know. I met him later.

- And Della lied to the police.
- Yeah.

But she only did that for me.
Please don't get her in trouble.

Why was Billy Knight staying here ?

Jimmy needed somewhere to put him
where you wouldn't find him.

But he was fucking nuts.
We made Jimmy take him back.

Did you get the files Geraint wanted ?

Christopher caught me.

What were these files ?

I was told to search
for the keyword, "Murape".

I didn't get any further
than doing that.

Did Geraint ever tell you
why he was blackmailing Chiswell ?

He blames the Chiswell's
for his daughter's death.

He told you that ?
Did you believe him ?

I don't know why he'd lie.

They don't ever talk about her.

Alright, Aamir.

Finish your sandwich.
I'll see you around.

Is the lavender oil cold-pressed ?

Very cold. That's fifteen quid, please.

We've run out of CBD oil. Everyone's
getting right shirty. Thanks.

What's he done to you ?

It's what I'm gonna do to him
if he keeps on like this...

I can have him fucking
put away and he knows it !

I'm fine.

- Hey.
- That's and interesting new look.

It's work.

What's this ?

I tried to get a replacement
but they're sold out.

I just had that one mended
as best I could.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Nice of you to try.

I don't want you sleeping
in the spare room.

Will you come back ?

I feel like your try
punish me for something.

That's not true.

Why do you wanna be with me, Matt ?

Because you're my girl.

Go on.

Don't go through my bag !
I checked it.

- I had it in my wallet...
- So you dropped it somewhere.

- Yeah, or someone took it.
- Why would I take it ?

- Insurance policy ?
- My fucking God.. What ?

I was only there because of you !

You've dropped it somewhere.
Go through your own wallet.

Get this through your head !
That note proves we had access.

It's got Billy's fucking name on it !

Somebody just needs
to see Ebury Street on it

and remember that from the news
and then we're fucked !

Jimmy, I haven't got it !

So there's a note.

If he thinks she's hiding something
that would incriminate them,

maybe he is right,
maybe she did take it.

I could see if I could find it. She's
invited me to a party at her place.

You're gonna search
during the party ?

I'd be subtle.

Jimmy doesn't think much of women.
He won't see me coming.

Be careful, and I think you should let
Ekwenski know what you're planning.

I'm sorry. I'll call you tomorrow and
we'll get dinner organized somewhere.

Well if you're too all-over-the-place
for dinner you could just come here ?

We can have breakfast in the morning.

Everyone loves breakfast.

Sounds good. I'll call you.

It's Cormoran Strike.
We spoke on the phone earlier.

Yes. Come in, then.

Mind if I turn a light on ?

Just remember to turn them off
on your way out.

No sense in burning
the planet needlessly.

We have a Chateauneuf-du-Pape,
two thousand and ten open.

Would you pour me a glass of that ?

- And pour one for yourself.
- Thank you.

Very kind.

Are you from the West Country ?

I spent a lot of time in Cornwall.

I can hear it in your vowels.

No Geraint ?

No. He's moved out.
We're getting divorced.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Thank you.
It'll be in the papers next week.

Do you know where he's gone ?

No.

I know you lied
to the police, Mrs. Winn.

Aamir wasn't here the morning
of Chiswell's death.

He wasn't here having dinner
the previous evening.

And he didn't stay the night.

I've spoken to Aamir. He admits it.

He was at pains to let me know
you hadn't done anything wrong.

Apart from lying about
his alibi to the police.

Why did Geraint send Aamir to
Christopher Barrowclough- Burns ?

To steal information.
I don't know what.

Does the word "Murape"
mean anything to you ?

No.

Given it's the Foreign Office,
I thought it might be Samuel Murape.

He was a British teenager. He went
missing on his gap year in Zimbabwe.

- Ring any bells ?
- No. Sorry.

Not my department.

Aamir could go to prison for this !

All because Geraint
needs someone to blame.

Blame for what ?

- We had a daughter.
- Rhiannon.

Geraint, he wanted her to make
friends with a wider circle.

He thought that way she'd mix
with "people with connections".

He pushed her into things.
She wanted a pony,

but we couldn't afford it and
so fencing, well that was his idea.

She was unhappy

but he promised her
they'd come to like her.

Only in the end,

well, she killed herself.

Geraint well he's always
blamed the Chiswell family.

It's easier than blaming himself.

Aamir, well he's been
like a son to us.

And Geraint would have sacrificed him.

I won't ever forgive him.

Hiyah.

- I brought this...
- You're so sweet.

Let's get you a drink.
Hope you're ready to get mushered.

Brooke. Yeah.

Hayley, what do you reckon
about my mate Becca

getting Laura's half
of the room once she...

- Shanice asked already.
- She didn't ask me !

Do you wanna tell her 'no' ?

- Mate, I'm sorry.
- Jimmy's arrived.

In a bit.

Hurry up !

Becca, was it ?

- Yeah. What were your name again ?
- Jimmy.

Nice to meet you, Jimmy ?
Sorry I'm a bit pissed.

What's your last name ?

- You what ?
- Your last name.

Cunliffe. Do you wanna have
a look at my birth certificate ?

I'm old enough to drink if that's what
you worried about, losing your license.

Nah, It's cool.

We've had some problems
with the security service recently.

- So we check the newbies out.
- Right.

- It's nice meet you, Becca.
- You too.

There's lots of hits for Cunliffe and
Yorkshire. What's Becca short for ?

Are you fucking kidding ?

Alright. Let's assume Rebecca.

One second. Won't be a minute !

The wedding of Miss Robin Ellacott
to Mr. Matthew Cunliffe,

both from Masham.

Mr. Cunliffe is
a qualified accountant.

Miss Ellacott has a somewhat
unorthodox employment,

being a partner at...

Jimmy. She's a fucking spy.

Hey. Don't be greedy !

- Who the fuck is she, Flick ?
- What ?

Hashtag Robin Ellacott,
Hashtag Robin Cunliffe.

Works for Strike.

The fuck have you done ?
Where the fuck is she ?

- Where's Becca ?
- I think she's in the loo.

What's up ?

Open the fucking door.

Come on !

Move !

- This is some deep-state shit.
- Shut up, Digby.

What you gonna do when
we find her though ?

I'll fucking kill her !

We have got two units
on the way to you now.

Okay, great. Thanks, Vanessa.
Thanks. Bye.

Shit !

Bitch !

Okay.

I'm Robin Ellacott.
I called Vanessa Ekwensi.

He's Jimmy Knight.

We have arrived at the scene.
She is with us now.

Just lie still in case you've
injured your neck.

We've got a male,
he's breathing and conscious.

Can we get LAS on scene ?

Police !

Out of the way !

Hey ?

- You alright.
- Yeah. I'm fine.

How did you guess
where she'd hid it ?

Just a hunch.

DCI McMurran rang this morning.

- Have they been charged him ?
- Still being questioned.

They'll get an extension
to thirty six hours.

She was ringing to say thank you.
I said I'd pass it on.

It's definitely Chiswell's handwriting.

Jimmy Knight's got an old Suzuki.
I got a photo of him driving Aamir.

I'm assuming Bill is Billy.
Jimmy obviously thinks it does.

Or Bill could be a "bill".

What's "blanc de blanc" ?
White from white ?

Blanc de Blancs is a champagne
made from 100% Chardonnay grapes.

- Something you learn at Oxford.
- No, wait...

I've seen "Blanc de Blanc" before.

- What we looking at ?
- Matt's Instagram.

Where we went on our anniversary,
it's only an hour from Chiswell House.

I'm sure I remember there being a...

Nobody buzzed.

- Hey.
- Someone let me in.

I thought it was my best chance
of actually seeing you.

- Do you want to go through...
- Here's fine.

I've called. I've texted.

- You stood me up.
- Are you sure we can't...

If you want a hot meal and a shag
with no human emotions involved,

there are restaurants and brothels.

If you're not prepared to pay for it,
at least have the decency

to treat that person
with the minimum of respect.

A phone call to say you
won't be calling again.

Breaking up with someone
by telling them, not just hiding.

This is how it's done,
you fucking coward.

Face-to-face.

Yeah Blanc de blanc
is a room at that hotel.

That was a bit awkward.

She should really
have buzzed-up first.

Not fair to take someone
by surprise like that...

I suppose living above your office

though it's that work life balance
people talk about, isn't it ?

Ms. Chiswell's happy for us
to share the records.

We have to keep it all in case
there are insurance claims.

So you have the room...

One registered guest,
Kinvara Chiswell.

Dinner for two.
Afternoon tea taken in her room.

- How about cars ?
- Yes...

She registered
a Mercedes with reception.

Is that a list of all
the cars that day ?

Jimmy Knight's Suzuki.

I overheard Chiswell
on the phone to a hotel.

Asking for details about the bill.

Sounds like he thought
she was having an affair.

Wrote down everything he could piece
together about where she'd been...

That's the note that Flick
stole from Ebury Street.

Do you think Jimmy and Kinvara
are sleeping together ?

Kinvara poisons the carton of juice
then heads back to Oxfordshire.

Jimmy let's himself in,
using Flick's key

and stages a suicide
after Chiswell's dead.

- It works, doesn't it ?
- I'll call DCI McMurran.

After we tell her what we've found
she'll owe us a favor.

Yeah it's a work thing,
so sorry I'm going to be late.

Alright okay, well,
will you want dinner ?

No, I'll get something with Tom.

We're going to be awhile
sorting this shit-storm out.

I'm back now, so I'll probably just get
an early night. I'm completely done.

Alright, well I'll try not to wake you
when I come in.

Okay.

- Hey. Thought you'd be asleep.
- No. I'm awake.

Right. Do you want a cup of tea or...

- Are we going on a mini-break or...
- I'm leaving you.

- Sorry ?
- You heard me.

- You want to leave me ?
- No, I am leaving you.

Why ?

Because you're sleeping with Sarah.

- Robin, I...
- Don't bother. You're no good at it.

Let's sort out some practical things,
and then I'm going.

Robin. Hang on.

Are you been serious about this ?

She's not stupid.

She pointed these out
to me at the party.

And then magically one appears
by the side of my bed.

I suppose you promised her
you'd tell me eventually ?

Well, she got bored waiting.
Good for her.

- Have you spoken to Tom ?
- Matt !

Are you anxious about
your prospects for promotion ?

- No, this is nothing to do with work.
- I have spoken to Tom.

You said you were eating
with him tonight.

Or have you forgotten
what lies you've told ?

He said he wasn't with you.

Had no plans to see you.

I've just been ending it with Sarah.
That's where I've been.

Don't answer it.

- Hi, Cormoran.
- Hi.

DCI McMurran want to see us
at nine am, she thinks we're right.

Now's not the fucking time, alright ?

Sorry about that.

- Everything alright ?
- Yeah it's fine.

I'll meet you there in the morning.
Just text me the address.

We're trying save our marriage
and you're taking calls from him ?

- I'm not trying to save our marriage.
- Well I am !

You know that everything
that happened with Sarah is...

The problem is that I don't care
that you're cheating again.

I don't want to be with you anymore.

We should have split up on honeymoon.
We shouldn't have even got married.

I thought I owed you this
face-to-face....

How do you think your life
looks to other people ?

You bailed out on uni.
Now you're bailing out on us.

You're a flake.
You're a Peeping Tom for a living,

and you managed to get
sacked from that !

You know he's only taken you back
because you're cheap.

Thank you. You've just
made this really easy.

- Let me past. Get out of the way.
- I'm not gonna let you.

That is not your decision to make.
And I'm not that person any more.

You're my wife.
I've a right to fight for this.

Listen, I'm not going to let you fail.
Not with this one.

We're gonna work it out together.
Will you please just sit down.

Look at you... You're a mess.

You're shaking, you don't want
to be on your own. Trust me.

I have a taxi outside.
I'm leaving now.

You'll have to hurt me
to make me stay.

And I'll get you done for assault.
And you'll be ruined.

Robin. You won't do that.

I was falling out of love
with you at uni.

We'd have broken up then,

but then I got attacked
and I just needed to feel safe,

and you gave me that.

But it's not enough.

I don't love you.

The truth is, I'd have never have
married you if I hadn't been raped.

All set ?

I'm sorry.

I've just left...

- I just left my husband.
- Yeah ?

I've left two.

Gets easier with practice.
