JASON: I don't love you any more.
I didn't kill anyone.
I moved... Moved a body.
That's been affecting me.
(SIGHS)
MARCELLA: Dad's busy at work right now. EMMA: Has he met someone else?
- No. - EMMA: So he just had enough.
Have you ever been replaced, Marcella?
LAURA: The victim was having an affair with your husband.
PETER: Giving someone everything, only to find out that someone else can do it better,
so they just throw you away.
(SIREN WAILING)
MARCELLA: No!
Come on, Juliet.
I moved a body, I didn't...

Morning.
(DRINKING WATER)
Why are you doing this?
I'm your friend. Your best friend.
Whatever you've done, we can fix it, I can help you.
Do you remember when I said I needed to succeed at something?
I showed Sylvie Grace Tower last night.
She loved it.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
Hi.
- Is this a good time? - Sure, come in...
MARCELLA: Have you heard anything from Matthew?
No. I'd call you if I had.
You don't know if he's got any friends or relatives in France, do you?
This is the second time you've come to talk to me about Matthew.
Yeah. Does he know anyone in France?
No, not that I know of.
This is my best friend.
Please. Can you please tell me what you think is going on?
I think he killed your sister.
(SCOFFS)
And the others...
No, no. Matthew? There's no way.
What is it? What about Yann? You arrested Yann.
Yes. We found some evidence on our latest victim, and Yann may be involved.
We don't know.
Um...
Sorry, could you...
(STRUGGLING)
Liz Harper.
Did Matthew ever mention a Liz Harper?
No.
Sinnr? Was he on Sinnr?
What's that?
It's an app, for casual sexual encounters.
No. Matthew would never be unfaithful.
What do I know. Maybe...
I don't know at all, do I?
(GROANING)
(STRAINING)
(GROANING)
MARCELLA: Did he ever have relationships with women?
No, no, no. Matthew has always been gay.
Yann on the other hand...
Matthew said that Yann suggested that they have a threesome, at one point
with some woman he found. But Matthew said no.
Yann, Matthew and another woman?
It didn't happen.
Great. Thank you.
(BANGING SOUNDS)
- Marcella... - Yeah?
Do you know why he moved Grace's body?
Not yet, no.
Just find him.
Promise me you'll find him.
We will.
(GRUNTING)
(STRAINING)
Thanks.
This is supposed to help me? Hmm?
Best friend!
(WHIMPERING)
They weren't meant to arrest Yann.
There was a plan, Matthew! A perfect plan. Where you didn't get hurt.
(CRYING)
But you share the same fucking hairbrush, you boys, don't you?
(SCREAMING IN PAIN)
So now they finally believe it's you.
They think you're in France.
But they're not going to find you.
Your plan was to set me up.
Be a loyal friend.
Visit me in jail.
Not to kill me.
You can't kill me.
Not me.
ALEX: DNA under Yann.
It could have been from Matthew's clothes, though.
MARCELLA: Matthew's got connections to all the victims, apart from Liz Harper.
MARK: To be fair, it's only half a connection with one of them.
Carol Fincher was in Yann's AA-group.
MARCELLA: Yes, but he could have met her.
MARK: Yes. We do have a moved body, that's not Matthew.
RAV: So are we back to thinking they both could've done this together?
Why move Grace? Why move just one of the victims?
That's the last thing Henry Gibson asked. Why did Matthew move Grace's body?
Well, he couldn't have done that.
MARCELLA: Exactly. But if they were like brothers, as he says,
he would have known about the back problems.
But the point is he asked why did Matthew move the body, not how.
If he really wanted to clear him,
then surely that's the first thing he would've thought of, no?
Laura?
Look, we've got this, okay? You've got a guy that's saying why instead of how.
No. We focus on these two only. Is that understood?
RAV: Thank you.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Thanks very much. Yeah, cheers, bye.
- Hi. - Hi.
You talked to Henry Gibson the night Grace disappeared.
Uh, yeah, I did. Yeah.
Do you remember what he said?
Well, I gave everything to you guys.
I know.
Do you remember what he said?
Right, um...
In here somewhere...
How are you?
I'm fine.
Good. Yeah. Me too.
Right, here it is. Uh, yeah. He was at a pub in Queen's Park.
The Four Spades. He was there till late. Landlord confirmed.
How late?
Uh, the pub closed at 11:00.
Great, thanks.
You fancy dinner tonight?
We'll see.
MARCELLA: The Four Spades closed at 11:00.
If Henry drove fast, he could get to Grace's house in 20 minutes.
And the murder could have happened at any time up until 11:30.
I need you to trace where Henry's phone was that night.
Now, listen, you know I can, but I'm not sure I should.
Rav told me not to.
Well, I won't tell if you don't.
I'll see what I can do.
Have you spoke to Matthew?
No. Are you on Sinnr?
What's that?
Did you ever suggest a threesome to Matthew with a woman?
Well, we're both gay.
You... You know that right?
Why would Matthew steal a keycard from a Premier Lodge?
Ask him.
We can't. We can't find him.
You can't find him, why?
What has happened? Where is he?
The keycard.
He's just saving money.
You know, when he's...
Instead of sleeping in a cheap hotel when he's working out of town,
he sleeps in his car, and then he sneaks in to use their bathroom in the morning.
Why?
Thank you.
Why? What's happened?
Come on. Where is Matthew?
JESSICA: Mrs Gibson?
Thank you, Jessica.
I thought you were supposed to go through the lawyers in future.
They can't help me with this.
Who is that?
- I don't know. - He was at your daughter's funeral.
We had a photographer there.
Yes, he was there to meet Jason.
He's an informant of some kind.
Might work at Daughtons.
Daughtons? What's that?
It's a company we rely on for information about our competitors.
Entirely legally.
Daughtons. Thank you.
I see the police were here again.
Who was that man you spoke to at the funeral?
I told you, an informant.
And he works for Daughtons?
Yes.
Stuart Callaghan.
He was responsible for the information we got on Andrew Barnes.
If there's anything you should tell me, do it now.
What could that be?
Something's not right.
What?
- Something's not right. - What are you doing sitting behind me?
You said that The Four Spades shut at 11:00.
Yes.
Henry Gibson's phone was there until ten to 12:00 that night.
- Ten to 12:00? - I know. It's weird.
You're welcome.
MARCELLA: Are you absolutely sure he was here?
LANDLORD: Yeah, yeah, he was here. He comes here quite a lot.
And when did you close that night?
11:00. It was the first week of our new opening hours.
MARCELLA: Are you sure you can't have made a mistake about the date?
LANDLORD: No, I remember 'cause we had a burglary later that night.
- Or vandals more like. - When?
Well, me window got smashed. Nothing got stolen, but...
The alarm went off a little before 12:00.
- Ten to 12:00? - Yeah, about that.
Thank you.
So you're saying he broke in and got his phone.
Yeah. He went to Grace's, came back, expecting the pub to be open
until its usual 1:00 a.m., but it was closed at 11:00.
Laura, he left his phone in the pub so he'd have an alibi if we traced it.
Well, can we go after him now?
This is Rav's investigation. He doesn't want to pursue this, I can't make him.
- Yes, you can. - But I won't.
It's not enough.
I need your help.
Why should I help you? We're nothing.
Because I'm still investigating the murder of your girlfriend.
Are you free?
Sylvie wanted to see us about something, a new development.
Grace Tower?
Is there a Grace Tower?
Yeah, in a year or two, maybe. It's...
We're very excited about it.
We're supposed to meet her in the restaurant.
Oh. Okay.
HENRY: Do you want to see these? JASON: No.
Sylvie loves it.
Of course she loved it. She loves Grace.
Sorry, what's that supposed to mean?
Change the name of that development and you'll find out.
Sorry, where is Sylvie?
- I'll give her a call. - Do.
- No answer. - Okay, well, she knows where to find me.
(MOBILE CHIMES)
Shit.
Come on, come on!
(DOOR OPENS)
- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) - (DOOR CLOSES)
You wanted to see me?
Yes, um...
We've been thinking about the Andrew Barnes situation.
Yes?
Well, with all the police interest,
we need to distance ourselves from you for a while.
You know that's like saying you think I'm guilty, right?
SYLVIE: We've discussed it. It's what's best for the company.
- JASON: We? - Don't take this personally.
Do you know how I found out about the Lambeth problems?
Jason...
I found him crying on Grace's bed hugging one of her dresses.
So I blackmailed him.
Maybe I'm not the only person you should distance yourself from.
Have you got a minute?
Now is not a good time.
Well, I've got a theory.
I think you went to Daughtons to get dirt on Andrew Barnes.
But you didn't get any, so then you paid this man, Stuart Callaghan, ex-military,
dodgy character, to kill him.
Now, Callaghan's tenant, Bendek Krol, well, he finds out about it somehow,
he tries to squeeze you, or both of you, with money, but...
Then he dies in an auto-erotic accident.
Or what seems to be an auto-erotic accident.
Are you out of your fucking mind?
I'm just telling you which way the evidence is pointing.
No, you're not.
Because if it was pointing anywhere, we wouldn't be here.
That's is speculation and verging on harassment.
You remember saying it was all about Marcella?
If it was, it's not any longer.
What do you mean?
I'm just saying, if there ever was a competition.
I think I won it, last night.
(PEOPLE GASP)
JASON: What are you looking at?
What are you doing? Have you got anything?
There must have been something on there.
It's nothing you're going to like.
I started with the diary you downloaded. You can see for yourself,
but if he was at all the places listed, that pretty much rules him out.
MARCELLA: That's not his.
That's Matthew's diary.
So Henry knew exactly when he was out of town.
- I'm telling you, he's framing him. - (MOBILE RINGING)
- Sorry, I've got to get this. - No problem.
Thank you.
Hello.
Did you sleep with him?
- MARCELLA: I'm sorry? - Tim! Did you sleep with him?
What? That's none of your business.
Oh, fuck! You did, didn't you?
Jason, will you calm down now?
And Henry? Now why are you fucking looking into Henry?
Now don't lie to me, Marcella.
- You know that I can't tell you that. - Do you think it's him?
- Jason... - Marcella, is it him?
What, he killed Grace?
Will you stop shouting at me?
If you think he killed Grace, why haven't you arrested him?
Why is he still out there?
Because we haven't got enough on him yet.
Well, I'll get you enough. I'll get you a fucking confession.
Shit.
(DOORBELL BUZZING)
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Jason, you scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here?
- Ow! - You killed her!
- (STABS) - (GRUNTS)
MARCELLA: Oh, God.
Jason?
Jason!
Jason?
It's okay, it's all right. Jason, look at me.
Look at me. It's going to be okay.
- Oh, God. - It was self-defence.
Put the knife down.
I thought he was a burglar.
So, what are you gonna do about me, huh?
Nothing.
So why don't you drop the knife?
Don't.
All right. All right.
God, you're not very good at improvising, are you? It's not your strong suit.
- What you're talking about? - I'm talking about May.
What are you gonna do?
Are you going to kill me and try to pin it on Matthew?
Who... Who's May?
It was a good plan.
It was a great plan until someone moved the body
and fucked it all up.
See, I know who did that.
I know who moved Grace's body.
It was a perfect plan.

This is Marcella Backland requesting urgent backup and an ambulance.
...police officer. I was attacked in my own home...
LAURA: Mr Gibson, we'll see at the police station, okay? Just calm down.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Hitting him? Handcuffs? Putting a plastic bag over his face?
He's lying.
You just compromised the entire investigation!
He confessed, Laura.
All you had was circumstantial and it still is. We've got nothing to charge him with.
We have. He stabbed Jason!
Go home. We'll talk about this tomorrow.
- No! - Go home.
You've got to question him about the pub. It doesn't add up, Laura.
I know it's him!
(SIGHS)
You do realise that they broke into my house?
Right? Both of them.
This was, this was self-defence.
Okay, Henry, so tell us what happened.
I was in my wine cellar, cleaning up. One of the shelves had fallen down.
Yeah, we noticed that.
And I heard glass shatter. I get a knife.
- Why? - Because I was alone.
And because I was scared.
Okay, so you took the knife and then what happens?
HENRY: (STUTTERING) I go upstairs and he came at me from behind.
I turned and I, I mean...
I had no idea that it was Jason.
I mean, what, what, what the fuck was he doing there?
Alex?
So, Henry, you stabbed him in the stomach. Twice.
Now, I find it very hard to believe that you didn't recognise him.
(STUTTERING)
It was just instinct. It happened so fast.
The night your half-sister was murdered, were you at a pub?
So what is happening with Marcella Backland, please?
LAURA: We understand the seriousness of the allegations. We're looking into it.
HENRY: Do you? She broke into my house. She assaulted me in my own home.
She put a plastic bag over my head in the same...
As I said, we're looking into it.
(HENRY SIGHS)
So, the pub?
HENRY: Yes, I was at the Four Spades.
LAURA: It closed at 11:00, but we traced your phone there until ten to 12:00.
Why are you asking my client about this?
No, no, that's okay.
The phone was in my car which was parked right next to the pub.
I don't know, maybe your tracing equipment does not pin-point accurate?
Okay, so going back to the house.
Right, so I'm going to call an ambulance and then she comes in and she attacks me.
Is she, is she working here?
LAURA: Not on this case, no. HENRY: But she is still a police officer?
Yes, I am.
LAURA: Yes. HENRY: After she tried to kill me?
LAURA: And we don't yet know what occurred at your house.
HENRY: Jason Backland and Marcella Backland assaulted me!
That is what happened in my house. She's clearly out of her bloody mind!
LAURA: Would you mind telling me where you were on these dates?
HENRY: Oh, no. No. Of course not.
He's made sure he has alibis. We've got to find new evidence.
You're not meant to be here.
What, you think you can do better off without me?
- It's not that, Marcella. - Good.
(VOICES ECHOING)
Hi, I heard about Jason, are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine. Um... - And Jason?
He's fine, be out of surgery soon.
Did you, um, did you tell him about us?
No, no, of course not.
Well, he called and asked if we were sleeping together.
Why would he do that?
I don't know.
I mean, he's been pretty jealous since that night when he saw me over at your house.
Every time we talk, he brings it up.
Did he do that?
Oh, um, no.
Wife beater tried picking on someone his own size.
What do you and Jason talk about?
(EXHALES)
Take a look at this when you get a moment.
(PAPERS RUSTLING)
Hey, Marcella...
(SIGHS)
You had Matthew Neil's diary on your computer.
How did you get hold of the contents of my client's computer?
Marcella Backland broke into my office and stole it.
Actually, yes, I got Matthew a job at DTG.
Therefore, it's very useful for me to know when he's away.
Where is Matthew?
You thought France if I remember correctly.
(SIGHS) Let's take a break.
LAURA: Marcella, you really messed up.
Everything's ruined. He's gonna get bail.
What do you mean, he's gonna get bail? He stabbed Jason!
Yeah, and when we check the phone records,
we're going to see that you spoke to Jason right before he got there, aren't we?
There's evidence of two break-ins at Henry's house
- and he's clearly been assaulted. - I don't believe this.
You stole information from his office.
- It's him! He confessed! - It doesn't matter!
He looks like the victim of a personal vendetta!
He's gonna get bail.
- Oh. No, you've got to give me 24 hours. - You're not even on this case.
12. Give me 12 hours, Laura, please.
- (SIGHS) - Laura?
You've got until tomorrow morning. Then we've got to let him go.

- Absolutely. - RAV: Stop it!
Calm down, Marcella! Calm down!
(PANTING)
- And we will be leaving. - You know. You fucking know!
- Think she should still be a police officer? - No, Mr Gibson.

What? You are kidding me. This is ridiculous.
- Emma, could you possibly... - What shoulder am I looking at?
- Get the hell off me! - Just show me your...

May bit him.
She was missing a front tooth, and she had a crooked molar.
- She bit him. - (HENRY GRUNTS)
May bit you, didn't she?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(HENRY GRUNTS)
Grace is the only person connected to you.
So she was the real target?
MARCELLA: But you had to kill seven innocent people to conceal that fact.
Where is he? Where's Matthew?
He's on my boat in the South Dock Marina.
Is he alive?
Of course. He's my best friend.
Why him?
He's the only person I know well enough to frame.
And you couldn't kill him, could you?
But you could kill a six-year-old child, couldn't you?
You could kill a six-year-old girl.
I was not planning to do that.
In fact, I was trying to find any way I could to avoid doing that,
but then she bit me and...
I snapped.
(HENRY SIGHS)
I'm genuinely really very sorry about that.
I don't believe you.
I think you killed all of them easily.
It's not easy.
The first one, Carol Fincher, I almost couldn't do it.
But it's all about crossing that line.
Well, you know?
LAURA: We found Matthew and released Yann.
We got him, Marcella.
Hmm, but at what cost?
I don't know what I've become.
I was a married, stay-at-home mum and now...
Am I ever going to know what happened at Henry Gibson's house?
Not in any of the houses.
(SYLVIE EXHALES)
This is the last time that you'll see us.
Wasn't Grace's fault, you know,
that you couldn't see anybody else.
You know why I came back, hmm?
I just wanted to be a part of something.
A family, a business, just something.
But you couldn't do it, could you?
You could never let me in.
You couldn't let me in
until I killed her.
STEPHEN: Shut up, Henry. We're not interested in you passing blame.
We're here to tell you that one day, tomorrow, next week, next year...
You're going to die.
And it will happen so slowly
that you'll have time to realise that we were the ones that did it.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
TIM: Hi.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Did you read the material I gave you?
Yep.
- I expected to hear from you. - Well, I thought it was a joke.
You honestly think Jason has killed someone?
Paid to get someone killed. Yeah.
And I was hoping that you would help me prove it.
Well, that's not going to happen.
What did you expect? We nearly lost him.
(SIGHS)
You know, I read the transcripts from Henry Gibson's interviews.
He confessed to everything, didn't he?
Except he never confessed to moving his sister's body.
And then I remembered Laura saying that you watched the CCTV
from outside Grace's house before her body was found.
(PAPERS RUSTLING)
That's you leaving Grace Gibson's house on the night of the murder.
It's nicely edited out in the working copy, but that's from the original.
Now, I can erase that altogether.
Or not.
You do what you think's right.
Marcella?
Marcella.
