They buried her
in a pink blanket.

The police still think
it might be suicide.

[DS Ekwensi] Chiswell's
cause of death.

Antidepressants dissolved
in orange juice.

[Cormoran] Two things you'd
have to know about him.

He always drank
a glass of juice

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

That's someone close to him.

Kinvara murdered him,
I know she did.

[Robin] What can you tell me
about Geraint Winn?

He blames the Chiswells
for his daughter's death.

Did you get the files
Geraint wanted?

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

What have you done?

[Digby] Robin Cunliffe.
Works for Strike.

Corm.

Charlotte.

I'm leaving you.

I don't care that
you are cheating again.

I don't want to be
with you anymore.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

[Raff] Hello, Venetia.

Any chance of you
showing up for that drink?

Oh God, Raff, I'm so sorry.

I mean, how often does
a suspect volunteer

to spend time
with the detective?

I'll be right there.

I'm on my way now.
I'll be ten minutes.

Okay.

Okay. I'm so sorry.
All right, bye.

[sighs]

Could we go to Chelsea,
please?

Can I leave my bag
with you?

I'm meeting Raphael Chiswell.

He's just downstairs.

Perfect. Thank you.

[Raff] My mum used to love
this place in the 80s.

So the owner

used to throw famous people out
for dressing badly.

[scoffs]

They'd come here
just to get tossed out.

Hello? You okay?

Sorry.

It's not you.

I just left my husband.
I forgot to take these off.

Seriously?

[exhales heavily]

Erm...

Look, if you want to do this
another time we can easily--

No, it's fine.
It's good to be out.

Anyway, I should ask you
about your father.

Do you think Kinvara would have
gone through with it?

With leaving him?

Probably not.

No. She was all drama
and no follow-through.

You know, I never
used to much like her,

but now I just feel
sorry for her.

Everything's getting sold.

Ebury Street. All of it.

Did you spend
much time there?

At Ebury Street?

No.

No. I've been there once
in my entire life.

The truth is that
he never loved me.

At least not as much
as he loved Freddie,

even though Freddie
was an absolute shit.

Do you know about Freddie
and Rhiannon Winn?

No.

He poured vodka
down her throat,

stripped her,

took photos

and passed them round
the whole fencing team.

He ruined her.

All because she bumped
his girlfriend, Verity,
off the squad.

I found that out from
one of Izzy's mates.

Now have you spoken to
Geraint Winn?

No, not yet.

Did my sisters tell you
about any of this?

That's what I'm saying. See.

With Geraint, you've actually
got someone who would
want to hurt us,

but my sisters,
they can't mention it

in case it pisses on
Saint Freddie's eternal flame.

Nobody ever did that for me,
I tell you that much.

It must have hurt when your dad
cut you out of his will.

[Raff sighs wearily]

I think that you can
hate someone

and still wish they gave
a shit about you.

And then hate yourself
for wishing it.

Anyway, sorry. I'm preaching
to the choir, right?

What was your ex-husband like?

I don't think I can quite
think of him as that yet.

I don't know.
I think I...

spent a long of time

trying to believe
he was someone different.

Different to what?

Different to...

Matt the accountant who's

a bit of a prick

and has been sleeping
with Sarah,

who's also a prick.

[cell phone ringing]

Is that him now?

[cell phone ringing]

Yeah.

[cell phone ringing]

Blocked.

That feels better.

Right, where were we?

I think we need
another bottle.

Rise and shine, party-girl.

I took the liberty of putting
two sugars in your tea.

I think it's going to be
that kind of morning
for you, darling.

[Robin groans]

Oh Vanessa, I woke you up.
I'm so sorry.

[DS Ekwensi]
Don't worry about it.

Do you need to stay
a few more days?

No. I'll be all right thanks.
Last night was just...

What the time is it?

It's 9:30.

Oh, shit.

I'm meant to be meeting
DCI McMurran.

I'm so sorry.

-Everything all right?
-Yeah.

Yeah. Good to go.

[Robin] I was thinking,
even if Jimmy

had access to Ebury Street,

he wanted money
out of Chiswell.

Why would he kill him?

[Cormoran]
Means before motive.

[McMurran] He said Flick
did the cleaning

as a legitimate part-time job.

[Cormoran] What about
the Ebury Street note?

[McMurran] Said
they were worried

they'd get unfairly implicated
for wrongdoing.

What's he said
about the hotel?

[McMurran] We're about to
get into that.

And the key
to Ebury Street?

Well Flick says she gave it
to Jimmy.

Jimmy says
he chucked it away.

He's a cocky bastard.

Declined a solicitor.

[Layborn] Do you own a car?

[Jimmy] Yeah.

[Layborn] Could you confirm
the make of the car

and the registration number?

It's a Suzuki Alto.

Registration, F-U-C-K-U.

Oh, no. My mistake,
that's one of my Porsches.

It's E-F-0-4-N-W-K.

To the best
of your knowledge,

has it ever been driven,
with or without your consent,

by anyone other
than yourself?

It was second-hand.

So I imagine they did more than
admire it on their driveway.

[laughs sheepishly]

Have you ever visited
Le Manoir Au' Quat Saisons
hotel in Oxfordshire?

Do I look like I dine at
Michelin starred restaurants?

[Layborn]
So you've never been?

Never driven there
in your Suzuki?

I said I never ate there.

Pay attention.

I followed their car there.

Wanted to see how my
money was being spent.

Your money?

Yeah. Mine and my brother's.

The Chiswells
owed you money?

Is that what you're saying?

That's not what I'm saying.

It's a fact.

Well, what did they owe you
money for?

Chiswell sold off
my dad's tools

and the last of the stock
after Dad died.

Wasn't his to sell.

[Layborn] You told us that
you'd not been home for ages.

[Jimmy] I know
what I've told you.

[Layborn] So how did you know
Chiswell had sold
your dad's things?

[Jimmy] Got tip-off.
Phone call.

[Layborn]
Did you get a name?

They didn't give their name.

You know how that is.

So you get this tip-off

and you stalk the Chiswells
to a hotel.

What were you
hoping to achieve?

I wanted my money.

I wanted to have
the conversation with him
face-to-face,

somewhere he couldn't close
a door on me.

No one at the hotel mentioned
anything like that to us.

That's 'cause he wasn't there.
It was just his bird.

Probably getting a facial.

I didn't stay for long.

Were you having an affair
with Kinvara Chiswell?

[laughs sarcastically]

If that's everything, Officer,
you've obviously got fuck all.

So I think
I'll just go home.

[Layborn] Is there
anything else you want to
say or add?

He's lying.

I agree.

But we don't have
enough to keep him here.

Look.
You've brought us
some very helpful things.

So...

I'll need you to sign
some papers.

But there's some CCTV

I'd like to show you
of Kinvara Chiswell.

There she is. In the long coat.

Who's she
talking to there?

[McMurran] A member
of the station staff.

She takes several minutes

to check her train is running
on time.

I'll spare you the full thing.

[Robin] How long
did that all take?

[McMurran]
About ten minutes.

She barely stood still.

And it's the same thing

the other end
at Woolstone station.

Is this what made you
suspect her?

Mm-hmm.
Her alibi's rock-solid.

It's the fact that
she's performing it

for every camera
she can find.

Can you go back?

There.

You see that beggar there?

I don't think
she's giving him change.

What if she's dropping
her door key in his cup?

That'd be why she's done
so much other stuff.

Talking to everyone.

She's trying to bury
that moment.

When does
the beggar come in?

So, a few minutes
before Kinvara arrives.

Sits down.

Cap over the face, hood up,
keeping their head down.

They don't want
their face on tape.

Jason, we need another pass
at the CCTV around Paddington.

Can you call the team back?

So she hands over the key
for Ebury Street

while she's setting up
her own alibi?

[Cormoran] Not a bad plan.

She just overdid things.

[Barclay] Aye, aye.
Heavy night, was it?

Took a few shots
for the team?

Are you done
with Dodgy Doc?

That's for you to say.

But I got him going up
to a patient's flat.

[Cormoran] These are good.

You didn't get anything
more specific?

[sighs in exasperation]
She had curtains.

Hope you feel better.

Right, let's start
with the obvious things.

Witnesses to Kinvara's
activities at Chiswell House.

Anyone who might be able
to tell us

who she's close to,

or who she might be
working with.

Kinvara has the key

when the police turn up
at Chiswell House at 10:30.

Someone must have got it
back to her by then.

We should talk to Tegan Barlow,
the stable girl.

Maybe she saw
Kinvara meet someone?

We still need to talk
to Henry Drummond,

the art dealer.

Let's sort that.

And we should talk
to Geraint Winn.

We can't rule him out either.

No.

He'd know Kinvara from her
visiting the House of Commons.

We know Geraint's alibi
for that morning's rubbish.

Raff said the only reason
his sisters don't want us
looking into the Winns

is they're worried it will drag
Freddie into things.

Cos of what he did to Rhiannon.

How was dinner with Raff?

Er... I'll fill you in later.

I'll find out where
Geraint's staying.

We have some questions
for you, Mr. Winn.

What I want... is to call you
a treacherous little bitch.

I was just doing my job.

Ah. On the side
of the angels?

We know what happened
to Rhiannon.

At Freddie Chiswell's 18th.

You'll say anything,
won't you?

You sly bastards.

[Robin] These might be
difficult for you to see.

You might want to sit down.

They're photos
of Rhiannon
at Freddie's party.

[Geraint] Ah.

Oh... my girl.

[Geraint sobs softly]

I knew it.

I knew something happened,

but nobody would tell me
the truth.

They closed ranks.

What did you think
had happened?

I dropped her off.

Drove up from Wales.

And I booked us a B&B,

so I said,

"1:00 a.m. I'll come
and pick you up."

And she said, "No,
that's far too early."

She didn't want to miss out
on anything.

So I said, "Call me when
you are ready

"and I'll come
and collect you."

Only,

I'd forgotten my charger.

And then the next morning
I woke up

and I thought, "Bloody hell,

"I'd better
drive over there."

And there she was,
on the grass.

She'd been sick.

And they'd left her out there

all night.

So I rang the door
and I said to Chiswell,

"How is that acceptable,

"leaving a young girl
that way?"

And all he said was,

"She'll have killed my grass

"where she's been sick."

Anyway, I drove us home.

She was very quiet.

And when
I charged my phone up

there was a message from her

that she'd left
at midnight saying,

"Please come
and get me, Daddy.

"They're so mean.

"They're so cruel."

She killed herself
a month later.

I am so sorry
about what happened
to her.

And I'm sorry
for lying to you.

Can you send me these?

It's not too late
for his friends to pay.

We all have
something in common.
We want to discover the truth.

Will you help us?

Do you know Kinvara Chiswell?

I've run into her.

The odd event.

Did you ever speak to her
about her husband?

We've never had
a conversation.

Can you tell us
where you were
the morning Chiswell died?

I was waiting
for Aamir to come back

from Barrowclough-Burns' flat.

I know
you've spoken to him.

He wanted to help me.

And who was it
approached you

about trying to find files
labelled "Murape"?

Was Kinvara involved?

No.

Jimmy Knight.

He never told me what
the photos were of.

Only that the Foreign Office
had them

and they'd
finish Chiswell off.

That was good enough
for me.

I wanted him sat out there

on his perfect lawn,

reading about his disgrace
in the Sunday paper.

Then remembering Rhiannon.

[Geraint sniffling]

Do you think
it will help Geraint?

What we've done.

I don't know.

I'm not sure
what he'd have left
if he let Rhiannon go.

I think he was telling us
the truth though.

If he wanted to shame Chiswell,
he needed him alive.

[Robin] Yeah.

[Cormoran]
If Jimmy's also telling
the truth

we need to look elsewhere
for Kinvara's accomplice.

What's the line
with Henry Drummond?

[Robin] Chiswell went
to see Drummond

the day before he died.

He came back to the office,
he was in a terrible mood.

Maybe Drummond
can tell us why.

Ah.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello.

Thanks for seeing us.

No. My pleasure.

How can I help you?

Jasper Chiswell
came to see you

the day before he died,
didn't he?

I was at his office
when he got back.

Oh, that.

Yes, that was embarrassing
for all parties,

but I really felt
I had to say something.

Raff came by the gallery
while I was out.

I'd employed a rather pretty
young girl as an assistant.

Francesca.

I caught her and Raphael

canoodling

and I told them
in no uncertain terms,

but when I got back,

some clients had heard noises.

Well, quite.

The girl jumped
out of the bathroom window.

Raff denied it of course,

but I felt I had to let her go

and I told Raff not to
come here anymore.

On top of that, I had to have
a rather difficult conversation

with Jasper about his sale.

[Robin] You rang him
the next morning.

[Henry] Do you have
a record of all of my calls?

Only the ones relevant
to the case.

[cell phone vibrating]

Sorry, I'm going to
have to get this.

[Cormoran] Sorry.
You were saying.

The sale was only ever really
organized out of fondness
for Jasper.

The only thing
of any value was

a John Frederick Herring
painting of a piebald mare
and foal.

Yes, I think I've seen
that one.

[Henry] Well, even that was
only worth a few thousand.

The conversation did not
end well,

and so I called Jasper
the next morning to,
you know...

offer support.

Hello, Corm.

[Henry] Oh, you two
know each other?

Henry, thank you so much
for your time today,

but I'm going to head off.

I'm not feeling
terribly well.

Well of course. Yeah.

Would you mind walking me
up the road?

I'm going to have an early
supper with my sister.

It's not far.

Please, do go ahead.

I don't really have anything
else to add, I'm afraid.

Not sure I'm the best person
for the job.

I'm not asking you
to deliver the babies.

I just don't
feel very well.

Sorry, when did
Matt call you?

[Linda] He says
you've blocked him.

He says he doesn't know
how to reach you.

Yeah, well, that's
the whole point, Mum.

I don't want to talk to him.

He sounded very upset.

You've not gone off
with someone else?

You haven't, have you, love?

No, Mum. I'm not with
anyone else.

Welcome back, Mrs. Ross.

Your table is
waiting for you.

Actually, I'm eating
with my sister.

Cormoran's just
helping me along.

Would you sit with me?

Just for a minute.

I don't want to be left alone
when I feel like this.

Thank you.

[sighs wearily]

I hate being pregnant.

I know what you're thinking.

I didn't get rid of ours.

I didn't.

I lost it after--

Don't start.

I swear.

I took a test at my mother's
and then--

It doesn't matter.

If it was real or another lie,
either way I don't care.

I wish they were yours.

Fuck's sake, Charlotte.

What?

Maybe I'd be happy about it.

You didn't want kids
any more than I did.

Give me Amelia's number.

I'm going to call her.

I was wrong about the agency.

I'm still poor.

I still live above the office.

There's no money for jewelry.

I never cared about--

Yes, you did.

And you have those things now.

Corm.

You're married.

You're having his children.

We're finished.

But I love you.

And I know you'll say
that I'm a liar, and I am,

but not on the big
things, Bluey.

Don't... call me that.

And I wasn't with Jago
while we were together.

You were engaged two weeks
after we finished.

Yes, because of you.

You said that I was lying
about the baby.

You walked out.

You deliberately sabotaged--

Don't talk to me
about fucking sabotage.

You wanted me
to give up everything.

The army, the agency,
my friends.

Everything and everyone,
except you.

You wanted to break me

because that's what you do.

Break it, before it can
fade away.

You were broken
when I found you, darling.

We have that in common.

[waiter] Hello! We have
a couple of very tempting
specials today

which I would highly...

Do we look like we want
to hear the fucking specials?

I'll bring you
some more bread.

[Charlotte] Look me
in the eye and tell me

you've loved anyone since
like the way you loved me.

I haven't.

Thank fuck for that.

I'm off.

Amelia's not coming.

I lied.

I knew you'd be
at the gallery.

Lucinda told me.

I want you back.

I thought it only fair
to tell you in person.

I don't want you.

Don't kid a kidder, Bluey.

[Robin] I can pick you up
from here tomorrow,
if you like?

Tegan's working at
a riding school

since Kinvara let her go.

So I said we would
meet her there.

Okay.

I've been to the pub.

-[Robin] How was it?
-[Cormoran] Good.

Drink?

Yeah. Okay.

Thanks.

How's life, Robin?

It's okay. Yeah.

[Cormoran sighs wearily]

Things all right with you?

Everything's fine.

I'm not working now.

I didn't want you to think
you had to sit here

and think about work.

I'm happy just to sit here.

Okay.

[rings doorbell]

[buzzer sounds]

[cell phone ringing]

Do you want me to?

Oh, yeah. Would you?

[Robin] Hello, Robin speaking.

[man]
Next time I'll catch you.

Sorry, who is this?

I nearly had you,
didn't I, Robin?

That tight little arse of yours just out of reach.

You got lucky.

I'll find out
where you live.

Robin?

You work on Denmark Street,
don't you?

-No.
-I'm gonna catch you, Robin,

and then I'm going to
fucking hurt you.

Bitch.

Robin, pull over.

[Robin squeals]

Robin, pull over.

Pull over.

Robin.

Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
Sorry... Just...

[Cormoran] How long have
you been having panic attacks?

[Robin] About a year.

You getting help for them?

I've got some CBT exercises
I'm meant to do.

I had some vegetarian bacon
I was supposed to try.

It's just not making me
any healthier

sitting in the fridge,
staring back at me.

Anything else?

Like what?

When I called you
the other night.

It's none of my
business, but...

Yeah.

Matt and I split up.

You called in the middle of it.

Sorry.

Anyway, doesn't matter.

I didn't want to fall apart.

I just I want to do my job.

I don't really think you--

What I think about you
and the job

is that you are
brilliant at it.

I had a decade of training.

I did hundreds of cases
with SIB.

You've had none of that
and you're just as good as me.

It's actually quite annoying.

[laughs]

You have to let the business
pay for some proper therapy.

It's not an act of kindness.

It's self-interest.

I need you in good shape.

Okay.

We should get going.

Are you all right to drive?

Are you all right for me
to drive you?

[laughs]

[Cormoran] Where
are you staying?

[Robin] Oh. That's all a bit...

[Cormoran] Well, you can stay
with Nick and Ilsa.

I'll call them later.

Thanks.

[exhales heavily]

Thank you.

I just...

Oh.

Shit. Sorry. I meant to...

I know.

We're going to be really late.

[Cormoran] I suppose you
went over things in detail
with the police.

[Tegan] Yeah, I did.

Kinvara never left
the house that night.

Didn't leave her bedroom.

The floorboards in that place
are really loud.

So I'd have known.

That's mostly what
they wanted to know.

[Robin] What about
the next morning?

Did you see her meet anyone?

The farrier came over.

Then she went riding
for about an hour.

When she got back
the police were there.

Where did she go on her ride,
do you know?

I don't know.
She goes all over.

Do you have a sense of who
Kinvara's friends are?

[Tegan]
She doesn't like people.
She likes horses.

Tegan, do you
ever remember

seeing or even
just hearing gossip

about anything bad happening

between Kinvara and Jasper?

Er. I saw her smack him
over the head

with a hammer once.

A hammer?

Yeah, he had Lady put down

while she was away
for a night.

She comes back, finds out

and just went for him.

Smacked him over the head.

Had to call the GP,
he was bleeding that much.

Well did you call the police?

No, he wouldn't have that.

He couldn't smell
anything afterwards.

Mucked up a nerve.

And she got sent off
somewhere posh
for depression,

but even when she came back

I kept finding her
in Lady's stall crying.

Listen, I've got to take
the kids out for their lesson

and I don't want
to take a piss.

[Cormoran] Thank you.
You've been very helpful.

If you think of anything else,
call us, yeah?

Yeah.

Well, I'd say that's something
we could ask Kinvara about.

Smacking her husband over
the head with a hammer.

[Robin] Do you think
she'll talk to us?

[Cormoran] She's gonna
want to look helpful.

A tenner says she tells us
how much she loved him

and then talks about how
he was definitely suicidal.

[Robin] And then what?

[Cormoran] Then we ask her
about the hammer.

Harrington & Richardson
5-shot.

This is illegal, Mrs. Chiswell.

It was Jasper's.

And it's late and I'm here
on my own.

You're not expecting
to come in?

We are.

[Robin] I thought
you liked that painting?

Ah. It'll have gone
into the sale.

Do you know, I never realized
how badly off we were.

Everything is going on debt.

You need to
hand that in tomorrow.

Good God,
why are you here?

[Cormoran] We were in the area
and have some questions
we'd like to ask you.

You're aware your husband
was being blackmailed?

Of course I was aware.

Jimmy Knight's story is
he simply wanted your husband

to give him what was
rightfully his.

Jasper thought the Knight
boys were a pair of oiks,

but you can almost see
why people fall for socialism,

when Jimmy makes his case.

I thought
you barely knew him?

I don't.

He rang the house
a couple of times, that's all.

And actually, I thought
he had a point.

Jasper should have split
the proceeds
with Mr. Knight's sons.

Proceeds from what, exactly?

Oh, what does it matter now?

Jimmy and Billy's father
used to build gallows.

The estate gave him timber
and a workshop

and they split the profits.

You'd be surprised
how much they fetch

on the export market.

£40,000 for one full set-up.

Bit more than the price
of a load of old tools.

[Kinvara] Well, quite.

After old Mr. Knight died,

there were two gallows finished
but not yet sold.

And then the EU
changed the law.

Bloody Europe.

Made it illegal to sell torture
and execution equipment.

Well, Jasper sold them anyway.

And why shouldn't he?

Hanging's not
illegal everywhere.

Did he sell them to Zimbabwe?

Yes.

Well, one set
didn't quite arrive.

It got hijacked by rebels.

And they used those gallows
to hang Samuel Murape,

the British boy kidnapped
on his gap year.

Someone took photos

and sent them on
to the Foreign Office.

Christopher Barrowclough-Burns
tipped us off.

He said you could see
Jack Knight's trademark
carved into them.

The white horse.

It made them traceable
back here.

And that's not good PR,
is it?

You can imagine what
The Guardian would have done
with that story.

I told Jasper
right from the beginning,

"Give the Knight boys
their cut."

He never listened to me.

And then they went for him.

The blackmail.

And then it got too much
for him, as we know.

We don't think your husband
killed himself, Mrs. Chiswell.

Nor do the police.

Why did you attack him
with a hammer?

He waited till I'd gone out,

then he put down my horse.

[Kinvara sighs wearily]

It was like he murdered
my child.

Don't care whether
you believe me,

but I loved Jasper
and he hurt me.

He hurt me terribly.

Nobody knows what really
goes on in a marriage

except for the two people
inside it.

[cell phone beeps]

For God's sake...

Oh. One of my neighbors
thinks I've got a dog loose.

Could you come with me,
have a look?

I don't like walking around
by myself.

Both of you.

[Cormoran] Of course.

Actually, I really
need the loo.

Do you mind if I, um...

Can't it wait?

It really can't. No.

It's there.
Then hurry and catch us up.

-[Robin] Thank you.
-[door opens]

[camera shutter clicking]

[floorboard creaking]

[gasps softly]

[creaking]

[creaking continues]

[Kinvara] ...bloody hell
is she up to?

[footsteps retreating]

-Have you quite finished?
-Sorry.

-False alarm. Dogs are fine.
-[Kinvara] Good night!

[door slams]

[Cormoran] Any idea
why she wanted us out?

There was
someone else in there.

Upstairs. I heard them
moving around.

They tried to hide
once they realized

I was still in the house.

I hope you didn't--

There was a painting
in the attic.

It's the only one that's been
moved up there. I took a photo.

It's Mare Mourning,

the one they had
hanging over the fireplace.

Why would she lie and tell us
it's gone into the sale?

[Cormoran]
Is that a piebald?

Piebalds are black-and-white.
That horse is brown-and-white.

I think I know
who killed Chiswell.

But we need to be sure.

If we get this wrong they'll
have time to fix their story.

Hello, Sarah.

I asked them
to wait in reception.

It's fine. Um.

Come in.

Matt's desperate to--

Did he give you
your earring back?

I'm sorry?

The one you left for me,
by my bed.

-I don't--
-I don't care.

You two can
have each other now.

We don't have to
pretend we like each other.

I'm here for work.

You work in Old Masters,
don't you?

We think this painting might be
worth quite a lot of money.

[Robin] I've uploaded
the photos I took in the loo
at Chiswell house.

[Cormoran] Yeah,
I'm looking at them now.

Most of them are of Freddie
and his fencing mates.

[Cormoran] We've only got
five minutes,

and they'll kick us out
if Billy gets upset.

But if he does recognize
the person in this photo...

[Robin] Then we'll know what he
saw on the hill that night.

Good to see you, Billy.
How are you feeling?

All right.

I'm taking everything,
so I feel...

calmer.

I don't know about
seeing people though.

I'm not gonna ask you
a lot of questions today.

There's just one thing
I'd like you to take a look at.

Could you do that for me?

-I know it's not the best photo
-[Billy] No, that's her.

That's who I saw.

That's the girl
I saw strangled on the hill.

-How did you know that...
-She was strangled,

but she didn't die.

And she's not
what you saw buried.

That was something else.

She didn't die?

No.

They lived.

We need to see some people
about the case.

But if it's okay, we'd like to
come back another time.

To explain things.

[Kinvara] Would you mind
telling me what this is about?

I've a vast amount to do
and I'm only here for the day.

Have you ever seen
this painting

hung at Chiswell House?

No.

Never seen it before.

Definitely not.

Why are you
showing it to me?

This is a painting
by John Frederick Herring.

It was valued by Henry Drummond
as part of your sale.

He mentioned it to me.

Well, it is not ours.

Somebody substituted
this painting

for Mare Mourning
at the valuation.

An expert has since reviewed
a photograph of Mare Mourning

and believes it could be
a lost Stubbs.

Which would make it worth
quite a lot of money.

You didn't know anything
about this, did you?

Raphael recognized
the value of Mare Mourning

on one of his visits
to your house.

I know you think
he loves you.

I'm not sure
he even likes you.

But he might have married you
for 20-million quid.

No.

Did he tell you
he'd uncovered a Stubbs?

Or did he leave that out

when he said that
killing Jasper

was the only way
to be together?

[Cormoran] Think about
why he might have done that.

You were planning
a new life together.

He was wondering how long he'd
have wait before killing you.

Two murders, a few years apart,
and he'd be the legal owner.

You'd have left it to him
in your will.

[gasping, crying]

I didn't...

I didn't, I didn't, I...

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Where... Where is he?

The painting's disappeared.

He must have it.

We haven't got him yet,

-but we're watching his flat.
-[cell phone chimes]

It won't be long.

Put someone outside Izzy's
place as well. She loves him.

She'll want to believe him,
and he's a good liar.

Will you stay to watch
Kinvara's interview?

-It might be helpful.
-[Cormoran] Happy to.

[Robin] Uh...

I'm gonna have to take off
for a couple of hours.

[Cormoran] You all right?

Yeah, it's just, um,
Matt wants to meet me.

Ignore him.

I've tried.
I've blocked his phone,

but he's gone and bought one
just to...

Just, read that...

"Robin, you're being a child.

"I'm at a client's today.

-"If you want to--"
-Further down.

He's gonna tell the papers
that you and I were...

He's always thought that
about us.

It's pathetic, isn't it?

Anyway I...
I think I just...

I think I just need to
talk to him.

He's with a client
over in Little Venice,

-so I can be there and back.
-I'll come with you.

I really don't think
that'd help, given...
[laughs]

I'll be all right.

Well, I'm gonna have to see him
at some point anyway, aren't I?

We've got
a whole divorce to organize.

I won't be long.

-[siren wailing]
-[traffic bustling]

-[Kinvara crying]
-[solicitor] As you can see,

my client is very distressed.

I think we should...

Any thoughts
on where he might go

if he needed to
lie low for a bit?

There've been
a lot of girlfriends.

He's good at
manipulating women.

We've tracked down two of them.

A musician
and a peer's daughter.

But I'm sure you're right,

there'll be more out there.

There was another one
Izzy mentioned.

A girl who owns a houseboat.

You don't know
where it's moored, do you?

[cell phone ringing]

-[Cormoran] Robin?
-Cormoran, honestly,

I'll be absolutely fine...

Robin don't go to
Little Venice!

[Robin whimpering]

No. Don't.

Just don't.

[Robin wheezing]

You know, when a guest says
they need to take a quick piss,

it's bad fucking manners

if they go off wandering
around the house instead.

[Robin breathing heavily]

What's your passcode?

[sputtering] 1875.

-Hmm? What?
-[wheezing]

1875.

[breathing heavily]

The family had that
hanging in a damp spare room

for 20 years.

Never looked twice at it, until
Kinvara took a liking to it

and stuck it
above her fireplace.

[wheezing]

It's a Stubbs, isn't it?

[wheezing]

-[water sputters]
-[wheezing]

You should
give yourself up, Raff.

No thanks.

What do you think the family
will do if you try and sell it?

It won't matter.
It'll be mine by then.

-[wheezing]
-I'll say I did drop off

the one that Dad asked me to.

And then it's his word
against mine. And he's dead.

And in a few years' time, when
Kinvara has a riding accident,

I'll find Mare Mourning
up in the attic and inherit it.

A consolation prize
for her grieving

yet still
very-eligible husband.

[siren approaching]

[siren blaring]

Anything you can remember
about this girl?

It's important, Izzy.

[Izzy] She's an artist,
I think.

Uh, the houseboat
has a name. It's...

Um, oh, come on.

[siren retreating]

[wheezing]

[Raff] Okay. Here's the deal.

If you convince me
that I'm truly fucked,

I will let you go.

But...

if I think I've got
the slightest chance of

getting out of this,
I will throw you overboard
after dark,

and take my chances.

So go on then. Convince me.

They know about
your affair with Kinvara.

With what proof?

We know you met her
at Le Manoir.

[sputters] The staff
will identify you.

I've been there plenty of times
with other people. I'd...

I'd be offended
if they didn't recognize me.

Kinvara was at
the gallery with you

that day that Drummond
came back early.

You stayed to
take the rap for it,

she went out of the window.

Drummond thought you were
with the assistant again.

[laughs softly] You thought
you'd got away with it.

But your father arrived
to talk about his sale.

We think he spotted
Kinvara's Lachesis pills

lying on the floor.

She must have dropped them
while she was escaping.

And when she saw them
on his desk,

she knew
you'd been found out.

The whole family knows
we hated each other,

they'll back me up.

We know it was you
who tipped off Jimmy Knight

about your father
selling the gallows.

Kinvara told you about it.

She told you about
the Murape photos.

You needed to
put pressure on him,

to make suicide
look plausible.

Good luck proving that. I used
a burner phone with Jimmy.

He has no idea who called him.
And he didn't give a shit.

-So, next.
-You know art.

You recognized
Mare Mourning as a Stubbs.

And everything
you've done since

has been about
getting your hands on it.

We told Kinvara that
this morning.

It broke her heart, Raff.

She's started talking
to the police.

No... [clears throat]

No, Kinvara thinks
that I love her.

I basically had her repeating

"They'll say anything to
break us" while I fucked her.

She won't talk.

And I think
that's a hung jury, Venetia.

The key.

The key to Ebury Street.

I'm sorry,
but that was perfect.

I stuck my car
under a CCTV camera,

and I borrowed a VW from
the girl who owns this place.

I whipped up the motorway.

Kinvara goes out for a ride.

We met well away
from the estate, no witnesses.

She trots home.

I was back in London
in time for

Izzy to come over
bearing tragic news.

[laughs smugly] I even
left my phone in the flat

so Kinvara could call me
in front of the cops.

"He's not picking up,
he must be asleep."

They put me in West London

while I was
driving down the M40.

See, the key
is not gonna be a problem.

And I think you've run out of
things to say, haven't you?

Put that over your face, now.

I wasn't talking about when
you gave the key back to her.

I was talking about

when she handed it to you
at Paddington station.

You were caught on CCTV
on your way out.

Your face is on camera.

Fuck.

-Fuck!
-[Robin screams]

[Raff grunting]

Have you ever been
inside a prison?

They're animals. They stink.

I was going to buy a villa
in Capri and a nice

little flat in London.

I was finally gonna be free.

No more Chiswells.

I know how Freddie treated you
when you were younger.

I know he...

I know he strangled you.

I know he shot and killed
your pet pony.

With me sitting on it
at the time.

Did you know that?

Happy days.

You know what might
cheer me up, Venetia?

I think I'd like to
see your head explode.

Go on then,
you cowardly little fuck.

-[clicks]
-Fuck.

[Cormoran] He's all yours.

[Raff] Get your hands
off of me!

[officer] All right.
Just calm down.

[Cormoran] I took the bullets
out at Chiswell House.

-[officer] In you go.
-[car door closes]

How did he manage to get
Matthew's name out of you?

Because you should never,
ever give a suspect--

Can I have two minutes

to enjoy not being dead
before you start?

Fair enough.

Raff's mother
liked his hair long.

He always
got mistaken for a girl.

But I saw them carrying...

The body in the pink blanket
was a pet pony.

Freddie shot it.

Your dad helped him
get rid of it.

Freddie is also the person
you saw strangling Raphael.

That's probably why
you made the connection.

I swear
I thought it was a girl.

Well...

You were
a bloody good witness, Billy.

For a six-year-old kid,
you did very well.

So it was your brothers I saw?

The way I heard it, um...

Freddie was meant to
babysit Raff.

But his friends wanted to
go up to the horse and...

I suppose
they took things too far.

It was a difficult time
with our parents' divorce,

and Freddie could be a bit...

I know that doesn't
excuse anything.

I know

a bit about that...

When my mum died and my dad
was drinking it was...

I saw...

I saw him kick you once.

I tried to say something.
I really did...

You putting me up here's
been kind.

You didn't have to
do nothing for me.

We're going to pay for
your long-term treatment.

My family owes you that.

See, Cormoran suggested it,
and I just thought, yes.

Yes, that can be
one good thing.

I don't want to be...

No, you're not. Honestly.

The papers keep saying,

"A lost Stubbs,
what good fortune!"

But all of our men are gone.

Papa. Freddie.

And Raff, too, in a way.

All of them are gone.

It's not easy, is it?

Any of it.

It's people.

They don't know how to live.

Do you ever think about
where we're going?

I suppose...

get the bank balance
a bit healthier

so we're not
so hand-to-mouth.

And make the agency
the best in London.

-I think we should keep Sam on.
-Me, too.

How's the CBT going?

I'm doing my exercises.

-How's your leg?
-Yeah, doing my exercises.

Do you want to come for a curry
with me, Nick and Ilsa later?

Sounds good. I'll be there.

I think this is me.

Mr. Harris.

Could be a nice job.

I'm heading to Finsbury Park.

Sam's babysitter fell through,

so I said
I'd take over surveillance.

Well, I'll see you tonight.

I'll bring beer.

I know.
