0:06:53 > 0:06:55Thank you.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Can I help you?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Um...

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Yes.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'd like to try on some dresses.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Wow. It looks great on you.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I'm just waiting on my brother to check it out.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22It's for his wife, actually.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Try the green one. I think it'll really suit your colouring.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Is she...?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Dark. Stunning, actually.- All right.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Was that somebody famous I just saw leaving?- Not sure.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Wasn't Ciara Porter, was it?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36No, I didn't see her.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Although she does come in here sometimes.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Lula Landry came in here a lot, didn't she?

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Vashti was, like, always in her lists of,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45like, the top ten things to do in London.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Day she died?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48This changing room.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51No way!

0:07:51 > 0:07:54That's, like, totally giving me goose bumps.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:07:57 > 0:07:59You know, they say she was going to meet Deeby Macc

0:07:59 > 0:08:00the night she died, but...

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I don't think Lula would ever cheat on Evan.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06What?

0:08:06 > 0:08:08She was SO going to meet Deeby. Trust me.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10But she loved Evan!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Did you see the pictures of their commitment ceremony?- Yeah.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, how about, we heard them talking?

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Who, Lula and Evan?

0:08:17 > 0:08:20No. No, the skanky, rude cow she brought in with her.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22But Mel taped them talking on her phone.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- No way!- Yeah.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26A bit naughty. We were all, like, not sure that's right, really.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28But, well, she swore it wasn't for the press,

0:08:28 > 0:08:31just, you know, play to her mates.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Wait, who's Mel? - She's not in today. Day off.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38But trust me, Lula Landry was doing the dirty on Evan,

0:08:38 > 0:08:40and who else was it going to be but Deeby Macc?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Come and have a look out there.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22What do you think?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Yeah.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28"Yeah"?

0:09:28 > 0:09:29She looks amazing!

0:09:29 > 0:09:34But fair play, I guess my brother would never say that to me, either.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Very good.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'll go back for Mel later.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Bit of a sore head this morning. - Ooh.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Was I...?- You were fine.- Mm-hm.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- You were funny, actually.- Good.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Is it really bad?- I've had worse.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13But not recently.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24Come and look at this.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35This is the figure Bristow is so desperate to find.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37He's walking towards then away from the flats.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Little bit agitated but, you know, could be a Deeby Macc fan

0:10:40 > 0:10:42waiting for a glimpse of his hero.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44This is ten minutes before Lula falls.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48And then the next camera.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- That's after Lula fell?- Yeah.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Same guy, walking quickly away, less agitated, more purposeful.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- It's not the same guy. - Why do you say that?

0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Because his hoodie's got a thingy, a logo on it.- Exactly. Yeah.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01These are two different people.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04We can't see this guy's face, but look at his hands.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05Leather gloves.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Guy Some dropped a hoodie and gloves off to the Deeby Macc flat.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10- So he could have used the clothes as a disguise.- Yeah.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12I need to speak to Guy Some.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15See if this second guy really is wearing his clobber.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Well, good luck with that.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18You're coming with me.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31I feel like a woolly mammoth that's wandered into the gazelle enclosure.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Yeah.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I was quite happy with this handbag five minutes ago.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Let's go.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40No, it's here now.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Excuse me... - We're going with the feathers.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46We're doing the Milan shoot.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Sorry.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05You don't have an appointment.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10So the mountain thought, fuck it, and came to Kevin.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12That's your real name, right?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14All I need you to do is identify some items of clothing.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Get out of my studio.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18I believe they may be yours,

0:12:18 > 0:12:20and it might have a bearing on Lula's death.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Surely you're interested in that?

0:12:25 > 0:12:26Come on.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Think he likes you.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35That is your stuff, right?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39How did he get that?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Those haven't been released yet.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42These are definitely yours?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Are you sure that's your nose?

0:12:44 > 0:12:45The doorman at Lula's flat

0:12:45 > 0:12:47said he took some stuff from you for Deeby Macc.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49What did you send him?

0:12:49 > 0:12:50Tricia!

0:12:50 > 0:12:51Yes, Guy?

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Bring me a Deeby Macc hoodie and a pair of the new gloves.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08What did Lula make of Deeby Macc?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Nowhere near excited enough.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13I kept saying to her, "Babes, if he'd written three tracks about me,

0:13:13 > 0:13:16"I'd be waiting behind that front door naked when he got in."

0:13:16 > 0:13:19What I don't get is why she chose Duffield,

0:13:19 > 0:13:22with all his white boy tortured poet act

0:13:22 > 0:13:24when she was meant to be looking for a lost black soul.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26How far did she get with that?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28She was looking for her dad cos he was African.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31The mum was just some redneck from Canning Town.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Mrs Mephedrone, we called her.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34HE CHUCKLES

0:13:34 > 0:13:36For a while, Cuckoo was always in the library.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Got all excited cos apparently,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40the old man was some kind of big shot academic.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41Which library?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43I don't know. On Russell Square somewhere?

0:13:43 > 0:13:44KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:13:44 > 0:13:47I wasn't really paying attention, everyone switched off.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Apart from Rochelle.- Yeah, well, she knew how to play Lula.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02I think they might be a bit tight on your big, hairy mitts.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Though Ciara certainly wasn't complaining about them.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Oh, no, you got quite the five-star review, darling.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13And she's had plenty to compare you with.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36HE SIGHS

0:14:57 > 0:14:58DOORBELL RINGS

0:15:11 > 0:15:13And they're in.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16So the argument starts, voices rise.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17How did they get out onto the balcony?

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- She might have had the door open already.- Yeah, but it's snowing.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, Lula often felt trapped, she liked having them open.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Or, as the argument escalates, she turns around to get away from him,

0:15:26 > 0:15:29which is what I might do if I wanted someone to just leave.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Without realising Tansy Bestigui was shivering underneath.- Mm-hm.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39I think it was very sudden and brutal.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Tansy heard no cries for help.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Well, I hope so. That it was quick, at least.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Now, I've very little time, so I make one big mistake.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52- I leave the flowers here.- Mm-hm.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55So they appear in a police shot immediately after the fall.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Well, I'm not leaving them here to die.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Walk down this road...

0:16:10 > 0:16:11..head bowed.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15And off I go, hoodied up and hands gloved,

0:16:15 > 0:16:17having completely got away with it.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Oh, I found this, by the way.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- It's a library card for... - Soas.- Mm-hm.

0:16:24 > 0:16:25Russell Square.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28We could go there tomorrow, find out what she was looking up.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yeah. I've got to meet Bristow in the morning.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I could go on my own.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34OK.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Good work today.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38Thanks.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53What are they?

0:16:53 > 0:16:54Skateboards.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56I mean...

0:16:56 > 0:16:58We used them in a crime re-enactment today.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Look, I'm sorry I was late last night.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09- To be fair, I should have called. - That's all I was saying.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- I'm not a control freak. I'm just worried.- I know.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14It's not like you.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Friends?

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Spoke to the mortgage advisor today.- Oh, yeah?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30We do need to get a joint income if we want to get a proper

0:17:30 > 0:17:34place near a Tube station and some decent schools.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Have you told them you're taking the job yet?

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Not yet.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Large whisky.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58And a pint.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38This is Charlie before he died.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Playing cricket, he was very good.- I remember.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Alec said he'd bowl for England one day.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50And this is Lula, the day she came to us.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53She loved those red mittens.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58I still have them.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01John says you collected some items from her flat.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Keepsakes.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Like what?- Some bits and pieces.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Do you want me to put the film on for you, Lady B?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Mm!

0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Can you read me the password? - Sure. Leopard.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Leopard, dear old baby.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Underscore, 1942.

0:19:23 > 0:19:251942, the year I was born.

0:19:31 > 0:19:32Good morning.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Oh, macaroons?

0:19:35 > 0:19:36FILM PLAYS ON TV

0:19:36 > 0:19:38You ARE lucky.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Mr Bone bought them for me.- Really?

0:19:41 > 0:19:45Thank you. That's...that's very kind.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Just a few quick things to ask.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Did you know Lula was looking for her biological family?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Yes, I knew something about it.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57I tried to steer clear of the topic.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58For obvious reasons.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02You don't know who the father is?

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Well, I still like to think

0:20:03 > 0:20:05it was the man who actually brought her up but...

0:20:08 > 0:20:11- I'm sorry, no. - He was an African student.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Nigerian, I think.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Alec told me.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20He had to get another lawyer to deal with the papers

0:20:20 > 0:20:26- because Tony refused.- How come? - Didn't want us to have her.- Why?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Because of Charlie.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Tony said something to Alec that made my husband very angry,

0:20:31 > 0:20:33and there was a fearful row,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36and Alec said Tony shouldn't come to the house any more.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40But he was my brother, so... Oh, hush, this is a good bit.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44- TV:- Well, they're in for a big surprise.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49Last time we met, you told me Tony was here the evening Lula died.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53You have a good memory. Sorry. Yes.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57I was in the flat upstairs while he was down with Mum.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00But I passed him on the stairs certainly.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02- He didn't watch the film with you? - No, he left just before that.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04- For Oxford.- Yeah.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09I will see what I can find out regarding the adoption papers.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11That would be very helpful.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13She loved those mittens.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16CLOCK CHIMES

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Oh, hi! Back for the dress?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19No. Is Mel about?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Down in the changing rooms.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- You Mel?- Mm-hm.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32My name is Cormoran Strike, I work for Lula Landry's family.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'm here to explain to you the legal hazards of recording

0:22:34 > 0:22:37private conversations and sharing them with third parties

0:22:37 > 0:22:38without obtaining consent.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40But first of all, you're going to give me

0:22:40 > 0:22:42the audio file you've got on your mobile.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- RECORDING:- Just sign it there. - Are you sure about this?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Never been surer, babe. They don't need it, do they?

0:22:58 > 0:23:01I can't believe it, I'm going to see him tonight, Roch,

0:23:01 > 0:23:02after all this time.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05And that was the point she leaned out to see if anybody was listening.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07So paranoid, these celebrities.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11"I'm going to see him tonight."

0:23:11 > 0:23:15- What, Deeby Macc?- Well, that's the obvious conclusion.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- How did you get on at Soas?- OK... - SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:23:18 > 0:23:21..so, Lula's search record

0:23:21 > 0:23:24shows that she was looking up books on Ghanaian history.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26More specifically, though, she several times took out

0:23:26 > 0:23:30a PhD thesis by a guy called Josiah Agyeman,

0:23:30 > 0:23:31who was a student there.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Agyeman.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Not Nigerian?- No, it's Ghanaian.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39The dedication to his PhD looks interesting, though.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45"For my beloved wife Ami and our baby Jonah

0:23:45 > 0:23:48"with grateful thanks to Pastor Jorge Duran of

0:23:48 > 0:23:49"the Church of Holy Light,

0:23:49 > 0:23:52"for teaching humility and faith to one who had so often strayed."

0:23:54 > 0:23:56"One who had so often strayed."

0:23:56 > 0:24:00My guess would be that he might be Lula's biological father.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Yeah. Mm.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Right, I've got to go and meet a Professor Enright,

0:24:05 > 0:24:07his PhD supervisor.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10He's still at Soas, but he was teaching this morning. See you.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Ghanaian political economy.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17Especially around the time of Nkrumah.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21Um, actually, I was keen to talk to Josiah Agyeman.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24I'm afraid Dr Agyeman's no longer with us.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Oh, well, could you, um, tell me

0:24:26 > 0:24:28where I might be able to get in touch with him?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30He died...just over a year ago.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33Oh.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38You're not the first young lady who's come asking about him.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45- So Lula must have found out exactly the same thing as you.- Mm.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Professor Enright said she was very upset.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49He didn't know who she was?

0:24:49 > 0:24:52He's a specialist in post-colonial administrative divisions

0:24:52 > 0:24:54in sub-Saharan Africa.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57I think the world of celebrity fashion might have passed him by.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59So Agyeman's a complete dead-end.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01No. Because then I tracked down Pastor Duran,

0:25:01 > 0:25:05the Pentecostalist he mentions in his PhD dedication.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07The church is out in Tooting,

0:25:07 > 0:25:10and he had a lot of pictures of the Agyeman family, including...

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Oh, not that one.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Wow.- Mm-hm.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20That's Agyeman with his son Jonah.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- No doubting where she got her looks from.- Mm-hm.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Blue, red, blue.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28It's TRF, it's...

0:25:28 > 0:25:29Coldstream Guards.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Lula said, "I can't believe I'm going to see him tonight."

0:25:37 > 0:25:39And in the changing room at Vashti,

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- "I'm going to see him after all this time."- She was expecting him.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Not Deeby Macc.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47She thought she was going to see her brother for the first time.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- You don't think that... - Make some calls.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Sad.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09I was so excited about finding him and...

0:26:12 > 0:26:15There's usually something quite sad at the back of it all.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18Where are you going?

0:26:18 > 0:26:20To tell John about Lula's brother.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30A brother?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34You know, that makes me feel really strange.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Of course it does.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39I hate the term "real brother".

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Or "real parent".

0:26:41 > 0:26:43My real parents were the ones who raised me.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Definitely go along with that. - Your-Your-Your... Your own father?

0:26:46 > 0:26:48As far as Jonny Rokeby was concerned,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51I was just a shudder in the loins.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53So, this brother,

0:26:53 > 0:26:56this soldier is the one in the CCTV footage?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Keeping an open mind for now.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00So, do you think we should tell the police about Agyeman?

0:27:00 > 0:27:02PHONE BUZZES

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Sorry, John, I've got to go and meet somebody pretty urgently.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Oh, no, don't worry.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Morning, sir. If you'd like to follow me, please.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51They told me you were once a suit.

0:27:54 > 0:27:55Helmand, right?

0:28:07 > 0:28:08HE SIGHS

0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's my fault she killed herself.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14All of this? It's my fault.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17How's that?

0:28:17 > 0:28:20She wanted to see me the night she died.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24In the end, I couldn't.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30That's you, right?

0:28:33 > 0:28:34Tell me what happened.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Dad told me about it when he was dying,

0:28:38 > 0:28:40said he didn't know if she had the baby.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43The woman he lodged with in London?

0:28:43 > 0:28:46He was a student at the time, and Mum was in Accra.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Then Lula calls you out of the blue.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- She didn't want the press to find out.- She used her mate's phone.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Yes, some Rochelle bird, yeah.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56So, suddenly, you find out you've got a half-sister who's

0:28:56 > 0:28:58a world-famous supermodel.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02It was all too much for me, you know, doing my head in.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05Lula, all them posh cars and flats.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- And Mum.- I understand.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10HE SCOFFS

0:29:10 > 0:29:11Do you?

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Would have broken my mum's heart.

0:29:19 > 0:29:20Her health's not so good.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25I said no to Lula at first but then she...she kept on,

0:29:25 > 0:29:27you know, kept on...

0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Did you know her?- No.

0:29:30 > 0:29:34She was...you know, she was full on, you know?

0:29:34 > 0:29:38At one point, she was going on, "You can have all my money."

0:29:38 > 0:29:41And I-I said, "I don't care about your money."

0:29:41 > 0:29:44But she was even going on about leaving everything to me

0:29:44 > 0:29:46in her will, just to piss her uncle off.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Afterwards, I felt so guilty.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57If I'd gone in, she'd still be alive.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Wanting to protect your mum was a good instinct.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04She said she understood about Mum.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07She didn't want to hurt anyone.

0:30:07 > 0:30:08HE LAUGHS

0:30:08 > 0:30:09That's it.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14I mean, she was looking for something, you know?

0:30:18 > 0:30:19She sounded all right.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I think she was.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33HE SNIFFS

0:30:33 > 0:30:34HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:31:10 > 0:31:11- I'll call.- OK.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16I think I'll add stalking to harassment.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Your nephew said you were at your sister's house in Chelsea

0:31:20 > 0:31:23the night of Lula's death. Is that correct?

0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's your alibi.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28- What on earth would I need an alibi for?- You tell me.

0:31:28 > 0:31:29Can you prove that I wasn't there?

0:31:29 > 0:31:32You used your credit card to pay a bar bill in your favourite hotel

0:31:32 > 0:31:35around about the same time you were supposed to be

0:31:35 > 0:31:36with your sick sister.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39Why didn't you want the Bristows to adopt Lula?

0:31:41 > 0:31:42That's not...

0:31:45 > 0:31:47It wasn't...

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Yvette told me you didn't want Lula around in the first place.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54Didn't stop you becoming very interested in protecting her wealth.

0:31:54 > 0:31:59I always had Lula's best interests at heart, always.

0:31:59 > 0:32:00From day one.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05Chelsea.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Bunsen.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00How's it going, Shanker?

0:33:05 > 0:33:08I put some flowers on your ma's grave the other day.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10I appreciate it.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Something you want?

0:33:13 > 0:33:16This is a car registration in its normal location.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Oh, right, want us to nick it?- No.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23- Well, come on.- Leave the car where it is, don't nick anything.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26If you were to get inside and check something for me...

0:33:26 > 0:33:28- Checking what?- The sat nav.

0:33:28 > 0:33:29I want you to enter this address,

0:33:29 > 0:33:31see if it comes up in previous destinations.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Hi, it's Robin Ellacott, I came in...

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Yes, Human Resources.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Well, I was just calling to say that my circumstances have changed,

0:33:42 > 0:33:44so I won't be able to accept the position,

0:33:44 > 0:33:48but if you could pass on my appreciation.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Yes, thank you. Thank you.

0:33:53 > 0:33:54SHE SIGHS

0:34:02 > 0:34:05- We didn't even discuss it. - We DID discuss it.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07OK, but we didn't decide anything.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10- This affects us both. - Yeah, but primarily me.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Look, I...

0:34:12 > 0:34:14I've...

0:34:14 > 0:34:16I just...I like the work I'm doing now.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19I've always dreamt about a career like this.

0:34:19 > 0:34:20Like this?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23As I recall, it was psychology,

0:34:23 > 0:34:27not doing the filing for a one-legged investigator in Soho.

0:34:27 > 0:34:28SHE LAUGHS

0:34:28 > 0:34:32I like the way you've made it all sound equally sleazy there!

0:34:32 > 0:34:35You know, he lost his leg fighting a war.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37And what a bloody waste of time and effort that was.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Oh. What an awful thing to say.

0:34:41 > 0:34:42Well...

0:34:44 > 0:34:45Maybe if you met him.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Met him.- Yeah.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52We could...go for a drink or something after work.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55And would I walk home on my own while you took him up in bed?

0:34:58 > 0:35:00- Forget it, then.- I'm joking.

0:35:00 > 0:35:01I'm joking!

0:35:18 > 0:35:21- You think she was killed because she made a will?- No.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24I don't, but Rochelle definitely was.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26- I'm not with you.- I think Rochelle was blackmailing the killer

0:35:26 > 0:35:29because she was the only other person who knew about the will.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31- And where is it?- I don't know.

0:35:33 > 0:35:34HE SIGHS

0:36:06 > 0:36:10There's...actually something I wanted to talk to you about.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Oh...

0:36:16 > 0:36:20I'd never sign up to be cast away on a desert island with that one.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Do you remember Tony being here the night Lula died?

0:36:25 > 0:36:29Oh, it's all so blurry now.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32My long-term memory's good enough,

0:36:32 > 0:36:36but the drugs make everything so muddled.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38I understand.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41I remember you and Charlie, though.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43Thick as thieves.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47Your mother was a model, or something.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49That's right.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52Such a glamourpuss.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54You don't look anything like her.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Johnny's not much to look at, either.

0:36:58 > 0:37:03My husband, Alec, had a lot of homosexual friends -

0:37:03 > 0:37:05House of Lords -

0:37:05 > 0:37:08and he used to say he didn't in the least mind them

0:37:08 > 0:37:10being around young Johnny.

0:44:25 > 0:44:26Uh, no, thank you!

0:44:28 > 0:44:29Take a seat.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Just for all the hard work.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Tracking down Jonah Agyeman was quite a result.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41That's really generous.

0:44:44 > 0:44:45Um...

0:44:45 > 0:44:47Marsha told me you visited today.

0:44:47 > 0:44:49I was a little surprised, to be honest.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51- More?- No, thank you.

0:44:52 > 0:44:56Yeah, I-I got called out to visit a potential client in Richmond -

0:44:56 > 0:44:59but it turned out they didn't exist.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03Yeah.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05I got my secretary to do that.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08I'm sorry, John, I needed you out of the way for a bit.

0:45:08 > 0:45:09JOHN SCOFFS

0:45:09 > 0:45:13I have some distressing news regarding Tony Landry.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18He knows you killed Lula.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22- I'm sorry? - He knows you killed Lula.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26He might not admit it to himself, but...

0:45:26 > 0:45:28deep down, he knows.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31It's impossible to know something that isn't true.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36On the day Lula died...

0:45:38 > 0:45:40..you visited her flat.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43You were furious she'd found Jonah.

0:45:47 > 0:45:49You left.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51You went downstairs...

0:45:51 > 0:45:53but you didn't leave the building.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08They were preparing the flat for Deeby Macc's arrival.

0:46:13 > 0:46:14That helped you with a few props...

0:46:17 > 0:46:20FAINT CONVERSATION

0:46:35 > 0:46:38..the flowers and the clothes for your getaway.

0:46:45 > 0:46:48I don't know when you decided to kill you sister.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50Just as I'll never know the exact moment you decided

0:46:50 > 0:46:54to push your brother over the edge of a quarry all those years before -

0:46:54 > 0:46:56but you did decide...

0:46:56 > 0:46:58and then you went back.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08SHE SIGHS

0:47:15 > 0:47:17I-I-I'm very sorry,

0:47:17 > 0:47:20I'm not awfully good at the kind of scornful denial

0:47:20 > 0:47:23which I assume is my job here. I-I'm just...

0:47:23 > 0:47:26I... I-I-I'm really disappointed.

0:47:26 > 0:47:27Open it.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33That's what you've been looking for, isn't it?

0:47:33 > 0:47:36It was in the Some handbag that your mother took from Lula's flat.

0:47:36 > 0:47:41You didn't know about the detachable linings, though, did you?

0:47:41 > 0:47:43Been under your nose all this time.

0:47:44 > 0:47:47Rochelle knew of its existence, obviously.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50- That's why you killed her. - I've never met her!

0:47:50 > 0:47:53Then why did your sat nav prompt her address when we entered it?

0:47:56 > 0:47:59Rochelle wasn't such a good friend to Lula.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01She decided to blackmail you over the will.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03Of course, she had no idea what you were capable of.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05What you'd already done.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10FAINT ARGUING

0:48:10 > 0:48:14Lula told you all about the will in your second argument...

0:48:14 > 0:48:15and that sealed her fate.

0:48:22 > 0:48:26It all went to Mum. Lula died intestate. I inherited nothing!

0:48:26 > 0:48:30Yeah, but you will when your mother dies, which won't be long...

0:48:30 > 0:48:31HE GASPS

0:48:31 > 0:48:34..but I think money was always a secondary motive.

0:48:34 > 0:48:35To envy.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42This is the bell from Charlie's bike, isn't it?

0:48:42 > 0:48:46The one he was riding when he fell into the quarry.

0:48:46 > 0:48:49First your brother Charlie...

0:48:49 > 0:48:50then Lula -

0:48:50 > 0:48:53and you hired me to help you frame Jonah.

0:48:53 > 0:48:54I have some sympathy for you here,

0:48:54 > 0:48:57with your mother's... endless categorising.

0:48:57 > 0:49:01The handsome one, the clever one, the funny one.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03You were always just the second one.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05- HE SCOFFS - Oh, please!

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Anything but the cod psychology.

0:49:07 > 0:49:10No, fine, sure. I'm not a big one for motive, actually,

0:49:10 > 0:49:12although jurors are suckers for it.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15Let's stick with what we actually know.

0:49:15 > 0:49:17Tony always suspected you of involvement in Charlie's death,

0:49:17 > 0:49:20and tried to stop your parents adopting again

0:49:20 > 0:49:23- because he was frightened for Lula. - And he told you that, did he?

0:49:23 > 0:49:25He was nowhere near your house that night.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27First, that made me suspicious,

0:49:27 > 0:49:29but then I realised that you giving him an alibi

0:49:29 > 0:49:32meant that he was effectively giving one to you.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34Tony Landry is a weak-willed coward...

0:49:36 > 0:49:38..but he's not a murderer.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40You are.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49We're done here.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Your mother's a dead junkie,

0:49:56 > 0:49:59your father doesn't even want to know you exist,

0:49:59 > 0:50:02you're in debt up to your eyeballs,

0:50:02 > 0:50:04and you live in your office eating junk food.

0:50:07 > 0:50:10- Good luck taking that the police. - I already have.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13You should know, by the way, that leather is porous.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16It doesn't prevent the transmission of forensic evidence -

0:50:16 > 0:50:17it's a common mistake -

0:50:17 > 0:50:21but it actually just causes criminals to sweat,

0:50:21 > 0:50:24especially when they're as hyped up as you were that night.

0:50:24 > 0:50:27You're going to prison for two murders, John.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29Should be three, of course.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38John, you know it's over.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44- GASPING - Fuck.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47You're really bleeding. I'll call an ambulance.

0:51:49 > 0:51:50And a taxi.

0:51:52 > 0:51:54I'm not travelling with that bastard.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44I was sorry to hear about Lady Bristow.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46It was time.

0:52:46 > 0:52:48It was very peaceful.

0:52:50 > 0:52:53So, why did you want to see me?

0:52:53 > 0:52:56Before she died, my sister and I agreed that we would respect

0:52:56 > 0:53:00- Lula's wishes with regard to Jonah Agyeman...- OK.

0:53:00 > 0:53:04..and we'll also pay any outstanding fees or expenses due to you.

0:53:04 > 0:53:05Thank you.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09I fear you have a low opinion of me, Mr Strike.

0:53:12 > 0:53:16I never knew for certain what happened with John and Charlie...

0:53:16 > 0:53:18when they were at the quarry that day.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21You were anxious enough to try and stop them adopting Lula.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24So, imagine what would have happened if I'd told Yvette

0:53:24 > 0:53:26that he might also have killed Lula.

0:53:26 > 0:53:28Imagine what that would have done to her.

0:53:28 > 0:53:32She never really got over Charlie's death, and...

0:53:32 > 0:53:33she was dying herself.

0:53:43 > 0:53:44Families.

0:53:44 > 0:53:46- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01Yes, of course, I'll make sure I pass that on.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03Thank you very much. Bye.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06- SHE SIGHS - Phone hasn't stopped ringing.

0:54:11 > 0:54:12Thank you.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39I know what it cost, remember?

0:54:39 > 0:54:41Think of it as a bonus.

0:54:46 > 0:54:48I never did tell you.

0:54:48 > 0:54:50Tell me what?

0:54:51 > 0:54:53What it was that I wanted to say

0:54:53 > 0:54:56the night that John Bristow attacked you.

0:55:00 > 0:55:03I'm tired of pointless interviews.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05I like it here.

0:55:07 > 0:55:09Well, Tony Landry kept his promise and paid up.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11I've cleared my debts.

0:55:12 > 0:55:13So...

0:55:20 > 0:55:24- Can we make this permanent?- Yeah.

0:55:24 > 0:55:27You might be waiting a while for a pay rise.

0:55:27 > 0:55:28That's fine!

0:55:30 > 0:55:31All right, then.

0:55:32 > 0:55:34PHONE RINGS

0:55:34 > 0:55:35Ooh.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37Cormoran Strike's office.

0:55:39 > 0:55:41Well, we're pretty busy, at the moment,

0:55:41 > 0:55:44but if you give me your contact details, then I'll...

0:55:50 > 0:55:51Uh-huh.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53HE SIGHS

0:55:53 > 0:55:54OK, thank you very much.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01Owen Quine.

0:57:01 > 0:57:03He's a very famous and good novelist.

0:57:03 > 0:57:05Owen has written a very thinly disguised slandering

0:57:05 > 0:57:07of the people who've tried to help him.

0:57:07 > 0:57:12It is a nasty little allegory that deserves nothing but burning.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14Have you read it?

0:57:14 > 0:57:15What do you want from me?

0:57:15 > 0:57:18You're getting married to someone who hates you doing this.
