0:10:15 > 0:10:18The world knew her as Lula Landry.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Thanks, Sandra.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24THE Lula Landry?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I was with her earlier that day to discuss contracts.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31She had an upcoming shoot in Morocco, she was excited about it,
0:10:31 > 0:10:32she was happy.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Now, the inquest verdict said suicide...

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Yes, of course. Who shall I say called?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14they never traced him.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16He was outside, watching the flat.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37which I obtained during the inquest.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40The inquest that returned a verdict of suicide?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Because the coroner couldn't see past a girl
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- with a poor history of mental health.- Mm.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Look...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51..review the information in the file. Ask some questions.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Then we can discuss any further involvement.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59There's £1,000, just to do that.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19And you always said, "Oh, let him tag along, he can be ball boy."
0:12:21 > 0:12:22As a friend of our family...
0:12:24 > 0:12:26..you're exactly the right person.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Please don't say no.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I can only promise to review the file at this stage.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Deeby Macc was meant to arrive that night,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27but diverted to Claridge's from the airport.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Who is Deeby Macc?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- WARDLE CHUCKLES - He's a pretty famous rapper.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And believe me, his entourage and credit card limit
0:26:34 > 0:26:37are big enough to make tracking him fairly easy.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42On the first floor, flat one, the Bestiguis', Freddie and Tansy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43He's in a conference call,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and there's six witnesses to that effect.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48She's in a nightie, and sees a body fall past the window,
0:26:48 > 0:26:49and raises the alarm.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53With the concierge. He told me Tansy said she heard an argument upstairs.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55That's why he ran up to check it out.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57By the time it came to her official statement,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Tansy Bestigui had reverted to the facts.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04She was coked up. Might have altered her perceptions a bit.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You think I wouldn't have liked
0:27:09 > 0:27:12to head up the Lula Landry murder investigation?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, sometimes the truth is boring -
0:27:15 > 0:27:18a girl with mental health issues, a pressure job,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20and boyfriend trouble topped herself.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26My advice would be, take whatever that arse head brother's
0:27:26 > 0:27:29already given you, and get back to sniffing sheets.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58DOOR OPENS
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Morning.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Morning.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I need you to prepare some terms and conditions for John Bristow,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06and create a client account, please.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- You're taking the case, then?- Yeah.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11The woman who raised the alarm said she heard a fight upstairs,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13and then she changed her statement.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Hmm. Why would she do that?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Well, that's a good question,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20and one DI Wardle was all too happy to dismiss.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24I suspect he suffers from acute confirmation bias, which means...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Preferring evidence that supports a pre-existing theory,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28and ignoring that which doesn't.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32I did it at uni.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- You've got a degree? - No. Dropped out.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Me too.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41What's all this?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43So, the last photos of Lula.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46These are all picture taken at the funeral. This is the family.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49That's Lady Yvette Bristow with her brother, Tony Landry.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50John and Lula's uncle.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Who is also a partner at the law firm,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55so I've printed off his biog for you as well.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59These are industry people and friends.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03This is Guy Some, the designer, with Lula's best mate, Ciara Porter,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Evan Duffield... - Rock star boyfriend.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07..and this is the big film producer, Freddie Bestigui,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10who lives on the first floor of Lula's building.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I'm guessing that's his wife.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15That's Tansy. The neighbour who changed her statement.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22I'm heading to Lula's now. Do you want to look around with me?
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Sure.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Have you ever heard of Deeby Macc?
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Yeah.- Well, I hadn't.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Actually, he had a big thing for Lula Landry.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Wrote a couple of tracks about how he was going to
0:29:38 > 0:29:40take her off Evan Duffield.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Did she get any say in this?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44No. Obviously, it was a matter to be sorted out between the boys.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Why?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51He was going to rent the flat underneath Lula's for his UK tour.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58DOOR BUZZES
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Did John Bristow call you about the key?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- So this is where you were the night of Lula's death?- Yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Nobody comes or goes without you seeing them, right?- Yeah.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I mean, they'd have to report to you?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Yeah, I tell them what flat to go up to.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Unless Lula's told me not to let them up.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20She do that often?
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Well, a couple of times.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Who?
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Evan Duffield mostly.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29And her uncle, Tony Landry, IF they'd had one of their rows.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33LIFT BELL PINGS OK.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37So tell me about the building's layout.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Well, the Bestiguis are on the first floor
0:30:40 > 0:30:43and the second floor is currently vacant.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46The penthouse was Lula's.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48And this is the only entrance?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Only one way in and out.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Why do you think she got changed when she got home?- Comfort?
0:31:29 > 0:31:30CAMERA CLICKS
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Funny thing to do when you're about to kill yourself.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35In the Army, I knew this lieutenant.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Life and soul of his own birthday party,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40shot himself two hours later. CAMERA CLICKS

0:33:07 > 0:33:11You can't hear a single thing from these flats with the door shut.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15They could have a Trenchtown sound system playing downstairs...
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- and you'd never know. - What's Tansy Bestigui like?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Better than her husband. - You believed her when she said
0:33:21 > 0:33:23she thought there was somebody up here with Lula?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26She was scared.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28OK.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30What about Rochelle Onifade?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Nico said he dropped them both back here during the day.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- I told Lula about that girl. - What did you tell her?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38She was trash. Only after her money.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40What did Lula say?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Just laughed, told me not to be horrible,
0:33:43 > 0:33:44she didn't care about money.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Only people who with a lot of it ever say that.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Do you mind showing me the rest of the building?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Oh, there's only the swimming pool, really, so...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I don't know why you'd want to...
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Mrs Bestigui?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26My name is Cormoran Strike.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27I'm an investigator.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- A what?- A private investigator.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Sorry to bother you,
0:34:33 > 0:34:36but I've been hired to look into the death of Lula Landry.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I just need to ask you a few questions
0:34:38 > 0:34:39about the night of Lula's death.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Yes?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- How did you know Lula fell? - I saw her.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- You saw her?- That's what I said.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52So you were close to the window.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59I'm sorry, this really isn't a great time for this kind of conversation.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Please, er...
0:35:06 > 0:35:09..call my office and fix a meeting.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I just want to ensure we've got all the facts.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Who's paying you?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17John Bristow, Lula's brother.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20OK.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22I'll call you.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- She's lying.- Why?- When you start an investigation, Robin,
0:35:35 > 0:35:39it's like looking into an aquarium for the first time.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Walk around, check how many fish there are,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43see what happens when you tap the glass.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46And, right now, Tansy's the most interesting fish?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48And Rochelle Onifade.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52# If you keep dancin' on me
0:35:52 > 0:35:54# Girl, I'll be tempted to touch
0:35:54 > 0:35:56# Tempted to touch Tempted to touch
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- ON CLIP:- # Feel like I can't get enough, can't get enough
0:35:59 > 0:36:02# If you keep dancin' on me Girl, I'll be tempted to touch... #
0:36:02 > 0:36:03So this is Deeby Macc.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06# Tempted to touch Tempted to touch
0:36:08 > 0:36:10# If you keep hitting on me... #
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Right.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14And I also found out that Ciara Porter has a web channel
0:36:14 > 0:36:17of video clips she made with Lula and her mates.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- ON CLIP:- Oh, we should call her Beulah!
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Oh, my God, it's a she and I am not...
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Ciara's just got a new dog. - Oh, look...
0:36:23 > 0:36:24With stupid ears.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Expensive ears.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Rochelle!
0:36:27 > 0:36:31They shouldn't breed them flat faced like that, poor things.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Pause it there.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Oh, my Little Rock!
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Where are those funeral photos you showed me?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Um...
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Is that Rochelle?
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Yeah.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Think that could be Rochelle?

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Oh, it's hard to say.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Could be.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Cormoran Strike's office?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Yes, of course. I'll pass that on immediately.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23SHE HANGS UP
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Tansy Bestigui wants to meet you tonight.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Hm!
0:37:30 > 0:37:31I'll go and iron a shirt.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Here's my Little Rock.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41My Little Rock knows more about me than you lot ever will.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Sure. May we take your coat, sir?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31This isn't...
0:38:31 > 0:38:32My name is Tony Landry.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I'm Lula and John's uncle.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Please sit down.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Coincidentally, our law firm also represents Mr and Mrs Bestigui.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51So now...I've been looking you up. All very interesting.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Afghanistan.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Jonny Rokeby. - HE CHUCKLES
0:38:55 > 0:38:57And your mother.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Leda Strike, wasn't it?
0:39:00 > 0:39:04They don't make them like her any more, unfortunately.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08And now my delusional nephew has hired you
0:39:08 > 0:39:11to cause more pain to the family.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14My aim is to lessen his pain by providing him with the truth.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18I can't interfere with my nephew's madness.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Or his love for his sister. - Very true.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Family is a complex thing.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26You, of all people, are surely aware of that.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Lula's death was tragic,
0:39:29 > 0:39:35but I must advise you to stay away from the Bestiguis.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- WAITER:- How is everything?
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Delicious, thank you.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43I would like a bottle of Puligny-Montrachet
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- and, PLEASE, not too cold. - Of course, sir.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50The thing is, Tony, I take my instructions from your nephew so...
0:39:50 > 0:39:56They say that we are all just two mistakes from being homeless
0:39:56 > 0:39:59and I know that currently my nephew's money
0:39:59 > 0:40:03is all that is keeping you from displaying that stump
0:40:03 > 0:40:06for loose change on Waterloo Bridge.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Put John's mind at rest,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12ease his pain if you like,
0:40:12 > 0:40:15take your money and we'll all be happy.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Don't be greedy, though, and take advantage of his grief
0:40:19 > 0:40:24by prolonging this tragedy or I will tie you in so many legal knots
0:40:24 > 0:40:27you won't be able to get out of bed in the morning.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Definitely give that some thought.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Let me give you a little bit of advice.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37You can insult my financial status,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39my disability, anything you like.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Mention my mother again,
0:40:42 > 0:40:44I'll introduce you to an experience
0:40:44 > 0:40:47far worse than an over-chilled burgundy.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Got it?
