Those
were the news headlines.

Now it's time for
the shipping forecast

issued by the Met
office on behalf

of the Maritime and
Coast Guard Agency

at 3:00 AM on Thursday
the 24th of September.

There are warnings
of gales, in Viking.

Thames, Dover, White,
Portland, Plymouth.

Love you. Bye kids!

Showers, rain
later, could occasionally

pour later.

North four to six, occasionally
seven metre, showers, good.

Hold the doors, hold the doors!

Meet Claudio Fruselli,
49, economically inactive.

He's a former teacher,

did a bit of tea leaves
and astrological charts

for pin money.

He missed a family
lunch on Sunday,

his cousin came by today.

Didn't get a reply, but
said heard music blaring

at top volume.

So that's why he called it in.

Did neighbours not say
anything about the music?

No, got back from
Tenerife two hours ago

and the other side is empty.

Smoker bored of chem-sex
family favourites.

GBL, GHB, Methadone, Meth.

You back on the
flight roster then?

You mean if the upstairs
are giving me enough rope?

Yeah, for now.

Wasn't there a bloke
found cuffed to his bed

a couple of weeks ago in Lewis?

Wasn't that a
suspected GBL overdose?

Yeah, you're right.

Do you reckon they
could be connected?

If there is something
going on here,

it's better to be across it
sooner rather than later.

It was
adultery, Mr. Fletcher.

Adultery, it was just the once.

I'm assured it's less
the frequency with which

you transgressed
your marital vows

and more that it was
with your wife's sister.

Yeah, all the same,
I deserve something.

It was four years. I'm entitled.

But surely it's too early to
be talking about insolvency.

Look I have a very large
order from Jarvis coming in

that should put us comfortably,
but a letter of intent?

No, not as such, but
I'm seeing Paul Jarvis

this weekend and I would
hope to be able to show you

that letter by the end
of next week the latest.

Yes, of course.

Bye now.

Hey, man, all good?

Yeah. All back up and running.

Overheating,
swapped the fan out.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, just
cashflow, you know.

If people would pay
what they owe in time.

Tell me about it.

Meanwhile Sophie is spending
like there's no tomorrow.

I swear it's gonna
be the death of me.

Could always say no.

Think I haven't tried?

Anyway, thanks for
coming out, yeah.

Hello, Bryce Right
Promotional Merchandise,

Zack Bryce speaking.

How did it go with Mr. Fletcher?

I know we're acting for him,

but I hope he doesn't
get a penny out of her.

Good-looking, though.

I mean, not Martin good-looking,

but he's got an
arrogant thing going on.

Oh, Martin, would you mind
if I left half an hour early?

I've got to take
my cat to the vet.

Of course, could you be in
for eight prompt, though,

I wanna finish the case papers

for council on
Paul Murray, yeah?

Sure.

What?

Asphyxia?

When the body hangs
in the down position,

the muscles around the lungs
interfere with breathing,

it's how most victims
of crucifixion went.

We're still waiting on tox,
but it does seem likely,

GBL or some sort of chem-sex
drug could have played a part.

So what are we saying? Some
sort of sex game gone wrong?

Well he must have
had someone with him.

I mean, you can't string
yourself up like that, can you?

I wouldn't rule it out.

I mean, some of these
auto-erotic types,

I'm telling you, they can give
Houdini a run for his money.

But likely an accident,
wouldn't you say?

Overdose, possibly, but he,

what about some kind of
seizure, kicked over the steps,

passed out,
misadventure either way.

If someone was with
him, I mean surely,

they would have cut him down.

I mean, even if they
didn't wanna get involved,

they could have
just, I don't know,

called an ambulance
and left the door open.

There was a GBL
overdose in Lewis,

a week before last.

Welcome to the South Coast.

Anything suspicious?

Not that we could find.

Mind you, off the
top of my head,

I can think of three killers
who have used this scene

as their hunting ground

and that's just in
the last five years.

Okay, well, keep me across it.

And Roy, the judge
on the Hussein case

is sending out the jury
tomorrow, so, fingers crossed.

So, Lager frenzy?

- I can't tonight.
- Why? What are you doing?

Are you washing your hair?

How are you, man?

Walking myself.

You don't have to
worry about me.

Yeah, I know that.

But if I don't, then who will?

Give Ari my love, and
say hi to the kids.

Yeah, I just went
through a tunnel.

Yeah, incredible,
yeah, mate, yeah.

Oh, oh, I'm just coming
in to Preston Park now.

So, I'll be in touch.

Cup of choo-choo's on me.

Yeah, watch out, mate.

Yeah, you are, as
always, a groovy cat.

A gentleman, a scholar
and an acrobat.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hello, excuse me, you!

Daddy's home!

Hi, babe.

Daddy!

Oh! Here we go.
Score from there!

And he thought to himself, what
a great adventure he'd had.

And then, winkly-wonkly worm,
wriggled through the mud,

all the way home.

The end.

How many
of them have you had?

Just the one. But it's gone
straight to where it goes.

And you know it always
gets me in the mood.

Sure.

But, maybe just, dial it back
on Saturday night though,

at Paul Jarvis' drinks-do.

What, don't drink
at a drinks-do?

I need to make a
good impression.

And you're saying I won't?

He is an important client, Soph,

I need a big order,
the business needs it.

Really, please.

Okay, okay.

Did you see any of
the links I sent?

I, I, I haven't had a chance.

Just, work stuff, you know.

Dubai, they've got
some good deals.

Don't be too long.

Bertie? Bertie! Bertie!

Bertie, come on, where are you?

Bertie, Bertie, come
on boy, come on.

Bertie, there you are, come on.

What is that?

Hello,
it's Janie's phone.

Sorry, Mr. Broom, I
can't get a hold of her.

But there was a lot of
traffic on the one-way, so.

Oh, thanks.

Get an appeal out to
ramblers, dog-walkers,

see if they noticed
anyone suspicious nearby

in the past couple of days.

Also, missing persons
in the local area.

If not, broaden that out to
include the whole of Sussex.

Morning Joe.

It's not very nice, I'm afraid.

A dismembered torso, female,
multiple stab wounds.

The head is absent, all four
limbs have been severed.

One arm and both legs in the
bag along with the torso,

that was wrapped
in a duvet cover.

Age?

That's one for the pathologist.

Educated guess.

Um, well, anything from
late teens to, I don't know,

the 40's would be pushing it.

Time of death?

Oh, that definitely
is above my pay grade.

So what about the missing arm?

Oh, anyone's guess, animal
predation, foxes maybe.

Why take her head?

To conceal her identity maybe?

Well, if that was the case,

they would have taken
her hands as well.

Why didn't they?

Why dump here where she
was bound to be discovered?

Why not just bury her?

Because whoever did this
wanted her to be found.

Look, I thought if
I found an address

I might be able to return it.

A data stick you
found on a train.

What is it that they say
about a road to hell?

Did you open up any attachments
you didn't recognise?

No, no, I just, plugged it in

and I don't know, the
machine shut down.

Just like that?

You been on any websites
you shouldn't have?

I'm not talking Common
or Garden Smart,

I'm talking off the map.

Heebie dragons, dark websites.

No, man, why would I?

All people do. You buy any gear?

Not judging.

Do I look like a stoner?

Anyway, I wouldn't know
how to get on this.

Good, because you go
poking around in there,

you're liable to end
up on a watch list

or a register.

I'm serious, mate.

You open that door, you don't
know what kind of demons

you're gonna look through.

Just let me know when
you've fixed it, Chris.

I will, mate.

So fingerprints from the hand

came back negative for previous.

We've sent off a request
for priority DNA,

if she's on the database we
should get a result later today.

Mispers?

In Brighton we've
got two missing women

that match the general
description of the body,

county wide another three.

How does that fit
with the time frame?

Well, first impressions
on the scene

from the pathologist
put the time of death

within past 24 hours.

So what are we looking
at? Domestic homicide?

Well the perp

often makes an attempt
of concealment, right,

usually out of guilt,
remorse, shame.

So I think Roy is right,

I mean whoever did this,
intended for us to find her.

Got a trainee solicitor,

who didn't turn
up for work today.

She had an important
meeting this morning.

She never showed.

She's 23 years old, so
she's inside the margin.

It's Janie Stretton.

Chris, I just wanted
to say thanks,

you got it back up and running.

Not exactly, the
triggers broom-job, mate,

your hard drive's been bricked,

so I stuck you in a new one.

Also, I've installed some
weapons grade AV software.

Anyway, I'm gonna take the
memory stick back to base

for a full going over.

Right, um, probably best
just to bin it, though,

wouldn't you say?

I'd like to know what
we're dealing with,

just in case it's something new.

Don't take it personally.

No, no. Sure,
well, thanks again.

Ta-ta, mate.

Janie's been with us
a couple of months.

She's a law student at Bristol.

Taking a year out to
get some experience.

This isn't in character for her?

No, not at all.

Boyfriend?

No, no I don't think so.

There was someone, I think.

Oh, really?

Well, only recently.

How recent?

A month maybe.

And she
didn't mention a name

or when she saw him last?

No, she's quite private
about her personal life.

Police 101,
how may I help you?

Hello? If you can't
speak, just press five.

You're probably looking
at the body of a woman

with blonde hair.

20's or early 30's, no sign of
sexual assault on the victim.

34 stab wounds, long, thin
blades, the letter type possibly.

One curiosity, this
was found inside

of what remains
of her oesophagus.

What's that?

Some sort of stag beetle, maybe?

Could be native.

It's nothing I
recognise, I'm afraid.

Oh, it's a horrible-looking
thing, isn't it?

It was dead?

Oh, yes.

So you're saying
someone put it there?

It certainly looks that way.

We don't let the press have
a word of this, all right?

This stays between
us and the murderer.

Sure.

I'll see if there are any
other victims in the UK

where a beetle was
found at the scene.

Anything further on misper's?

One's been found,
one's been ruled out

by distinguishing features.

And what about this
missing solicitor?

She left work early to
go to the vet apparently,

but the receptionist says,

there was no appointment
and she never came by.

Her letting agent's meeting
us at the flat first thing.

Okay then, well, unless
anything else comes in,

I'll see you all at
the 8:30 briefing.

Roy!

Any more on your fetish guy
and the GBL overdose in Lewis?

Banking and credit card history
say they were both members

of the same gym
chain, Pulse Rate.

But at different times.

No connection beyond that?

Not so far, no.

Maybe let it ride then.

No need to spread
yourself too thinly.

Okay.

Um, I hear on the wire,

there's a detective chief
superintendency coming up.

Hampshire, change
of scene, rank.

Might do you good.

Is it the aftershave? Hampshire?

Just trying to be a friend.

You nearly caused a mistrial,

by taking evidence to a medium.

You might still have
cost us a conviction,

the chief is worried.

Everyone had a lot of
sympathy for you after Sandy.

That was six years.

Any good will that bought,
the jury comes in not guilty,

I'm just saying, word is,

you better start looking for
somewhere new to lay your hat.

Hear this advice.

Last night you
accessed a website

you were unauthorised to visit.

Today, you tried
to access it again.

We do not appreciate
uninvited guests.

If you inform the police
about what you saw

or if you ever try to
access the site again,

what is about to
happen to your computer

will happen to
your wife, Sophie,

to your son, Felix and to
your daughter, Jessica.

So take a good look
and have a hard think.

Your friends at the Scarab
Corporation International.

No, no, no. Stop, no, no, no.

Stop, stop, please.

Go back, go back.

Well, they're both identical.

Apart from the paint job.

Copris lunaris, also
known as a dung beetle

or Scarab, indigenous
to Southern Europe

and North-Africa.

Are they found here at all?

Typically not outside of a zoo.

But if you went to Luxor,
the Valley of the Kings,

you'd find scarabs
covered everywhere.

They were significant in
funeral rites in antiquity.

They'd be put in a tomb to
ensure eternal resurrection.

Excuse me, professor. Grace.

Looks like we may
have ID on the field remains.

Hers?

Yeah, keys were on
the coffee table.

So she didn't drive to
meet the killer then.

Anything from the neighbours?

Blind eye avenue,
student digs, short lets.

So nobody saw anything, not her,

not whoever she was with?

No, somebody mentioned a
black car with tinted windows

but that could just
as easily be dealers.

Student, wasn't she?

Yeah.

This is more like a show
home than a student's digs.

Any sign of forced entry?

No, nothing.

The killer's attempted
to clean up by dusting

a fresh duvet over the bed.

But there's blood on the wall

and on the mirror over the bed.

Arterial spray most likely.

Wait, there's more.

Wow.

Whatever floats
your boat, right.

Well, there's enough here
to float the Ark Royal.

There was a mobile
under the bed,

it's been bagged and dusted.

There's a laptop too.

Well, get them to John
Rye in digital forensics.

Contacts, last
calls, social media,

anything and everything
he can get from them.

Oh, and there's a cat somewhere.

Someone make sure
it's looked after.

Who's their next of kin?

How was your drive?

It's an awful road, don't
know why they can't just

make it a motorway.

Janie's always spending
when she comes down here.

I'm sorry about the boxes
and well, everything.

I'm letting the place
go, needs must really.

Recession, couple
of bad investments.

Would have broken
my wife's heart,

you know, small mercies.

This is just too big
now it's just me.

And with Janie away.

You said on the
phone you had news.

Yeah. Hi Bella, what
can I do you for?

Anything you can get off these.

Calls, contacts, social media.

I'm not exactly slack.

- It's the body at Hob's Dyke.
- I'll see what I can do.

Thanks. As soon as you can.

Joolz, got a job for you.

Hello?

Hello, is anyone there?

Is that
the Bryce residence?

Yes.

Are
you Mrs. Sophie Bryce?

Yes, who is this?

I've put some photographs
of Janie together,

you asked for.

I'd appreciate them back.

Of course, thank
you, Mr. Stretton.

Look, I'm sorry to
have to ask you this,

but is there anyone
you could think of

who might have had any
reason to harm your daughter?

No, no one. She was so caring.

Did Janie have a boyfriend?

Um, Justin would
be the last I met.

Justin Remington.

He's something in
London, hedge management.

They met at university.

Nice boy, but Janie doesn't
want anything serious

while she's building her career.

Didn't want.

Can I see her? I'd like
to see her, please.

Mr. Stretton, do all these
things belong to your daughter?

Oh, yes. Little
jackal was Janie.

She was particularly
fond of anything

with a butterfly on it.

She even had one, a
tattoo of one here,

on her left arm.

Can I take something that
she might have worn recently?

Um, well, um, yes.

The silver ring's
probably the best bet.

She used to wear it
all the time at home.

You'll let me know, will you?

When I can see her?

Hey, daddy's girl,
wanna go splitsies?

You got your own work.

Andy and me can take the
laptop, if you don't mind, Andy.

Or the mobi, dealers choice.

I know what you're
doing, in-cell scum.

Says the low-tier Becky.

Papa John Rye got
his eye on you.

Do you think he
visualises scenarios?

Exchanges? Porking you?

I got that reference.

You're disgusting.

You really wanna go
down that road again?

Harry Frame?

Do you wanna get busted,
is that what this is?

Some sort of death wish?

'Cause look, I'm
your friend, yeah?

And if I don't get it,

well God knows what upstairs
are gonna think of this.

It's just insurance.

I've got something
in my back pocket,

I don't need to use it,

but I feel better
knowing it's there.

You know who talks like that?

Who?

Addicts.

Oh, come on, this is not that.

Isn't it?

No.

All right, well, give it back.

And if that's not what this is,

then give it back to him.

You can't do it.

I could. I absolutely,
I choose not to.

I choose, it is a choice.

You know what, you keep
telling yourself that.

And then, you can
tell disciplinary

once they put you
out on your ass.

She wasn't his first.

What?

Fruselli, the gimp.

Either he's got a curious
interest in scarab beetles

or someone left a calling card.

I was at the PM, there was
no beetle inside the suit

or on the body.

I went back, it was
on the mouse pad.

Painted white, it was
identical to the one

recovered from Janie
Stretton's remains.

And we were right

about why the killer
left her where he did.

It was for the same reason
the music was left blaring

in Fruselli's flat.

He wanted him to be found.

Only the neighbours were away,

so there was no one to
complain about the music.

Yeah, and this time he
made absolutely sure

that Janie was found.

He's showing off.

He doesn't wanna be
ignored certainly.

We need to go back to the
first GBL overdose in Lewis.

See if there are any
scarabs left there.

Sorry, I was just rustled.

Look, it was probably just a
cold caller who got cut off.

Double glazing or insurance
and nothing to worry about.

If you're sure.

Yeah, of course.

Well, let's better get tea on.

Hello, this
is Janie's phone.

I can't take your call right
now, so leave me a message.

Janie, it's Verity.

Mr. Broom was expecting
you in at 8:00 o'clock

this morning, can
you give me a call?

And then at 11:30 we have.

Janie, Claire,
I've got something for you.

Can you give me a call, please.

Sorry, traffic was a bitch.

Present company,
obviously, Ma'am.

The additional man
power, DS Norman Potting.

He'll be with us
for the duration.

Stormin' Norman, good
to be on the team.

Norman, do you know John
Rye from digital forensics?

Indeed, yeah,
Robocop we call him.

John Cyber man Rye.

I'm in, hi John.

John?

Mid-day yesterday, we have.

Janie,
it's Claire again.

I'm worried you might not
have gotten my last message.

It was for tonight.

You've got this Claire's
number presumably?

It was registered to a business,

by the name of FGX-247 Limited.

We also pulled a message
off Janie's phone

Tuesday morning, from Ant.

Just said, tonight, 7:30.

Janie replied kiss, kiss.

PAYG sim, paid for on
a clone credit card,

no longer in service.

This FGX-247, has
anyone heard of it?

Only FGX I've ever heard of

is off the menu of
an escort service.

You'd know about one, Norman.

Yeah, well I should
do, five years on Vice.

Yeah, got all the
acronyms down, Pat.

FGX, DFK, DP, ATM, which
doesn't involve a cash point.

And of course, MSOG,
multiple shots on go.

You should go on Mastermind.

No, they turned me down.

Imagine.

FGX, Norman.

Yeah, it's sometimes
referred to as FG,

it's an umbrella term,

it means full
girlfriend experience.

Chris, it's Zack, I'm sorry
to keep bothering you.

Any word on that laptop?

Sorry, mate, I've
not had a chance.

Got in last night and the whole
place has been turned over.

Oh, mate, they take much?

Enough, just cheap
bits and bobs.

Half the stuff they
nicked was in for repair.

Drunkies probably.

I mean, look at it, it's
gonna take me a week

to clear this up.

What about that memory stick?

Do you know what, I've
not even had a look.

Yep, that's gone
too, sorry, pal.

Right, I'll get onto your
laptop as soon as I can

but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Mm-hmm.

Hello.

Is that FGX-247?

Yes, it is, what
can I do for you?

Am I speaking to Claire?

Who's calling?

You left a message
for Janie Stretton

Wednesday afternoon.

Who are you?

Detective Superintendent
Grace, East-Sussex CID.

Claire? I think we got cut off.

Janie Stretton, she got
a message on Tuesday

from someone called Ant.

Is he one of yours?

Anton, his name is.

Anton what?

Your guess.

Look on a first date, we phone
the girls after ten minutes.

They have a safe word they
can use if they're not happy.

This was her fourth
date with him,

I didn't have any
reason to be worried.

How many girls have
you got in your books?

About 30 and ten guys.

You wouldn't happen to
have a Claudio Fruselli

by any chance, would you, 50's?

Never heard of him.

And this Anton, has he seen
anyone else on your books?

No. Just Janie.

I can let you have his
mobile, if you like.

We always take a
number for them.

Oh, well, I'm sure it's
safeguarding measures like that,

that ensure that none
of your workers end up

in a bin bag, dismembered
on Hob's Dyke.

That was her?

Yeah. That was her.

Norman, you'll need
to draught in help,

but could you organise
a troll through CCTV

of likely date spots in the
Brighton area on Tuesday.

Janie Stretton went
out on her fourth date

with this guy, Anton, or
whatever his real name is.

They must have been
picked up somewhere.

Aye.

Specials and PCSO's to take
the photos we have of her

to every restaurant, bar, pub
in Brighton and Hove area.

Same end, yeah.

Cool.

And oh yeah, John, I
asked John to take a look

at a mobile belonging
to Claudio Fruselli.

Who we found dead on Tuesday.

Yeah, um, Mr. Fruselli
was active on a number

of hook-up sites used
by the gay community.

He agreed to meet someone
calling themselves Lancer,

previous Friday.

The last activity
we've got from him,

is just after 7:00 that evening.

After that, nothing.

Right, where are we with
tropical insect breeders?

I found one in Reigate,
that sounds interesting.

He had a request to
supply a scarab beetle

just over ten days ago.

And this one, we like
to call, the roach room,

for obvious reasons.

We supply a lot of these to
the pharmaceutical industry,

for tests.

Did you know that if you
cut off a cockroaches head

it can live for up to 15 days?

There you go, Copris Lunaris.

DC Boutwood tells
me that someone bought one

from you recently.

Only sale I've had in recent
months for the Lunaris.

Not much call for them really.

Just the occasional collector.

Who was the customer?

Funny
bloke. Aussie, maybe?

Rang about a month ago,
asked if I had any in stock.

Said he wanted 50 of them.

50?

Yeah, he was quite specific.

They had to be Copris Lunaris.

Live or dead?

Dead.

So you've met him?

No, he phoned up. Sent a
mini cab

and the driver paid cash.

Sorry, excuse me.

Bella, what have you got?

I've just seen Janie's ex.

He's pretty broken up, they
were only together 15 months

at Uni, but he was
crazy about her.

Anything there?

Well, he's alibied for
the 24 hours leading up

to the discovery of the body.

He hasn't spoken
to her in a year.

Did he say why they split up?

He didn't wanna speak ill,
but to quote him exactly,

"She got into stuff I
couldn't deal with."

What kind of stuff?

Oh, brilliant Joolz, well done.

A web-cam girl? In addition
to the escort work?

All the ex knows is that
she got into it at Uni.

To supplement her income and
pay off her student loan.

The whole sugar daddy thing.

And are we releasing
that information,

that she was a sex worker?

I've asked family liaison
to take the temperature

with her father.

Anything more on Anton?

The number we got from
the escort service

was the same untraceable
pay-as-you-go

as John Rye pulled
from her mobile.

And the account he
used to pay them,

that was a burner too.

And the other scarab
beetle you found

at Fruselli's, is that
definitely the same?

Yeah, I'm also pretty
certain that Fruselli

had a laptop stolen.

There was a table in front
of where he was found hanged,

it was dusted with speed
apart from the area

that was a perfect fit
for a 13 inch laptop.

Well, you know as
well as anyone,

serial killers tend
to have a type.

These two couldn't
be more different.

They're connected.
I'm sure of it.

And you thought the GBL in
Lewis was connected too.

I did, yeah.

But having looked into
it, I've ruled it out.

There was no scarab
beetle found at the scene.

Unless there was anything else?

Have you thought any
more about Hampshire?

I'll bear it in mind.

Hey, girlfriend.

How about you
refill us cocktails.

Squivel, Dave.

Seriously, what's with
you and the boss man?

I mean even Andy noticed he
was a bit handsy earlier.

I didn't say that.

Oh, Joolz, good work,
oh your skills make me

so horny.

He's like a 100.

Yeah, enough of
the neck rub, okay.

See ya.

See ya.

Sure, sure, yeah,
yeah, I'm on the train.

I'm absolu-lu, .

Yeah, you know it. Sure.

So, how's it shaping
up, that little lady?

Is she? Is she?

Yeah, I bet she is.

Wow, yeah, yeah.

You all right, mate?

Yeah.

Ah, sorry, Roy, I'm not
being shown anything at all.

They're not coming
through today.

They don't always, you know.

If you wanna leave it with me.

Sure, yeah, if there's
anything, just let me know.

What is it? Work or personal?

The top brass think
that a move to Hampshire

might be a good idea.

What do you think?

Maybe they're right.

Change of scenery, fresh
start, get away from the past.

What do you feel?

I met Sandy in Brighton.

We fell in love here,
we got married here.

I lost her here.

Hampshire feels like
letting go, giving up.

And I'm not ready.

If I knew, if I knew for
certain, she was gone,

I would walk away,
close the door.

It's irrational, I know.

But I keep thinking if I move,

she won't be able
to find a way home.

It's funny, in this crime scene,

I, I caught her
perfume in the air.

It was like she just
stepped out of the room.

It was a violent death.

Yes.

She had blue hair, purple hair.

There's something with
her arm, her left arm.

She had a mark on her
wrist, somewhere here.

Um, a birth mark.

No, no a tattoo, small.

And she wore a bracelet.

A butterfly maybe.

He's got it.

Who's got it?

The man.

Which man? Where?

There's a blue room.

Sorry, it's gone, it
was so strong and then.

You need to be very careful.

There's death close
at hand and water.

It ends by water.

Babe? Hey, what is it?

Sweep the bars, pubs,
clubs, still come up blank.

Nobody at FGX-247 is going
to admit knowing Janie,

but I have found out

she was registered at
another escort agency.

So, I'm just gonna work my
way through the client list.

Where are we with
our beetle dealer?

I've spoken to every mini
cab firm in the Reigate area,

so far there's no sign of
the driver who picked up

the scarab beetle.

Sorry, I've got a
fellow in a phone box,

says he thinks he witnessed
Janie Stretton's murder.

Zack?

Who's this?

Zack, my name is Roy, Roy Grace.

I'm the senior
investigating officer

in charge of the Janie
Stretton murder inquiry.

Zack we need to talk.

If you saw what you say you saw.

I did. All right, I saw it all.

All right, well we
need to meet, Zack.

We need to meet face to
face, do you understand?

We can't do this
over the telephone.

I can't. They'll know,
they'll find out,

I have a family to think of.

Well I'll meet you
anywhere, Zack,

wherever you say.

Where would you feel safe?

I didn't think it
was real, you know.

That's why I took a screen grab.

I thought it must
have been a film, but.

You can't do that
with special effects.

The way she. It was too real.

The sounds and.

You did the right thing.

But that's it,
the worst is over.

I should have come
to you sooner.

But, I was afraid.

Who wouldn't be?

You had your wife, your
kids to think about.

But we've got it now, okay.

I promise you, we won't let
anything happen to them.

You just go about your
daily life as normal

and leave everything
else to us, all right?

The man on the train, do you
think you'd recognise him

if you saw him again?

This is the right train?

Definitely, the
18:10 fast, yeah.

That's him.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Reginald Morris D'Eath,
convicted sex offender,

some time pimp, procurer
of underaged girls,

and pandering chief to anyone

who thinks they can use
the UK as their own private

knocking shop.

Lately, he's been the
producer and provider

of bespoke violent pornography.

He came off a three stretch
at Parkhurst last summer.

So D'Eath leaves the
memory stick on a train,

Mr. Bryce finds it,
sticks it in his laptop,

turns out it's his golden ticket
to a page of the dark web,

streaming the murder of Janie
Stretton, just like that.

Not quite, Ma'am.

Whatever programme
is on the thumb drive

does all the heavy lifting.

Instals a bespoke, anonymous,
virtual, private network,

that will locate and gain
entry to the correct address.

You tried using the URL on
the screenshot presumably?

Yeah, we have Ma'am.

But as far as I understand
it, their software

allows anonymous browsing
by rooting connection

through a chain of
different computers,

encrypting data in the process.

But without whatever else
is on this thumb drive,

we can't find the site,
never mind get in.

It's like a homing beacon
and a key to the door in one.

That's why Mr. Bryce
couldn't access the site

the second time he tried.

Although it appears someone
picked up on his attempt.

Snuff films?

A snuff channel, Scarab
Corporation International.

That's why we've been finding
beetles at the crime scenes.

Not so much proof of
life as proof of death.

He's asserting his authorship.

Authorship? How many of
these films are there?

Well, the insect wrangler said

he'd sold 50 scarab beetles.

Do we think D'Eath is behind it?

That he's graduated from
torture porn to actual murder?

Well, it certainly
seems to be his niche.

And, you know, even if it isn't,

at the very least he
should be able to tell us

where he got hold
of that thumb drive.

- Mr. D'Eath!

Anything?

He could just be not answering.

Norman, we'll try the back,

make sure he doesn't
leave by the front.

Hello! Reginald D'Eath!
East Sussex Police.

Reggie, we just
wanna talk to you.

It's safe to come out.

We just want some help
with our inquiries.

Roy! Get up here!

We need some air.

What did they say?

They said that we've
done the right thing.

But that they'd take care of
it now, we're not to worry.

Are you sure we
should go tonight?

They know who he is and
they're gonna bring him in,

they said we're just
to carry on as normal.

All the same.

Look, I can't just call Paul
Jarvis and bail out now.

Soph, really, I can't
afford to piss him off.

I need to make good on a big
order that he's promised me,

okay, I just gotta do that.

Okay. Calm down. We'll go.

We'll go, okay. Look,
we'll have a good time.

I'll smile and look good and
you'll get your order, okay.

Neighbour clocked a blue
four-by-four outside the house

last night and
took down the reg.

Yeah, it's registered
to a company called.

Bornholt International
Limited, Brighton PO box.

Odds are that's just an
accommodation address.

You know, my dad used
to spray the potato crop

with sulfuric acid,
kills off the shoots,

makes harvesting much easier.

So if we're looking for someone
with enough sulfuric acid

to fill a bath we should be
looking for potato farmers?

Or whoever supplies them.

Yeah, I'll go check
out the whole silos

who use in bulk sulfuric
acid in the area, right?

Sir, I've spoken
to the babysitter.

The Bryces are out,
she doesn't know

when they're gonna be back.

Uniform have promised
me a unit on the scene

as soon as possible.

Fine, tell it park
up discreetly.

Out of view of the house,
but obvious to anyone

who fancies their chances.

We'll talk to them first thing.

I've just had a call
from a bar manager

that I spoke to
yesterday, Sapphire Bar.

He reckons he's got
footage of Janie Stretton.

Recordings normally get
deleted after 72 hours

but, as I said, we've had
an issue with dealers.

It's her.

No question. Who's the man?

Never seen him before.

What sort of guy
wears shades indoors?

The same sort that makes
sure he's got his back

to the CCTV cameras
in almost every shot.

The sort that doesn't
wanna be recognised.

Hey, everything all right?

Yeah, fine Mrs. Bryce, the
children were no trouble.

Go on then, crab your
coat, I'll run you home.

Hey, hey, I can drive.

No, you can't, you're at least
two drinks over the limit.

It's all right, after everything
you've been carrying around

you needed to relax.

But it's done now, right?

You got your order.

Be good.

Hey, I love you.

You only say that
when you're blooded.

No I don't.

Yeah, you do. It's all right
at least I know you mean it.

Mr. Morrison, I'm so
sorry to call so late,

it's Zack Bryce.

Um, Mandy did some babysitting
for Sophie and me tonight,

I just wanted to make
sure she was home.

About a quarter to two.

Okay, thanks, I'm
sorry to trouble you.

Police? Yeah, um, could
you check if there's been

road traffic accidents
involving a Sophie Bryce?

You haven't? You sure?

Are you sure you haven't
admitted any patients

by the name of Sophie Bryce?

Bryce, B-R-Y.

Sophie, my wife, something's
happened, I know it.

She, um, she took my car.

- Burned out?
- There was no one in it.

Then where is she?

You said we'd be safe.

I came forward, I identified
the guy on the train,

you said you knew who he was.

We do.

Have you arrested him?

No.

Well, why not?

If he's involved, then.

He's dead, Mr. Bryce.

What? What? How?

It's under investigation.

This is Danny Brown
and Warren Dolish,

from family liaison.

If you're agreeable they'll
stay with you in the house

and make sure you
and the children

have round the clock protection.

Norman Potting, East Sussex CID.

I wanna speak to
whoever's in charge.

Yeah, go through mate.

Oh, well done!

It's her favourite, she
wears it all the time.

What is it you need it for? DNA?

Look, you said you wouldn't
let anything happen

and now she's missing.

We will do everything
we can to find Sophie

and bring her home, Mr. Bryce.

You have my word.

Big old place
you got here, Mr.?

Smith, Carl Smith.

What can I do for you, officer?

I'm looking into
all local suppliers

of dangerous chemicals

and I believe you
supply machine parts

and agricultural chemicals?

That's right.

You haven't lost any
sulfuric acid in recent days?

None gone missing or mislaid?

Thousand litre
drums of sulfuric,

it's not exactly
the sort of thing

that one can sneak
out under a coat.

Yeah, I suppose not, no.

You don't mind if I
have a look around here?

As long as you don't
mind a chaperone.

Health and safety.

Uh, isn't everything.

It's political
correctness gone mad.

What happened?

After Reggie D'Eath

you should have had the
Bryces under protection.

I did.

There was a patrol
car parked outside,

but they were
called out to an RTA

and they missed the car leaving.

Not that it would have
made any difference,

they weren't under house arrest.

Do you think whoever is behind
these films has taken her?

Almost certainly.

Well, they must know we
have an active interest

in the Bryces.

They don't care.

Whoever's behind this, you
cross them and you peril.

They will take revenge.

Reggie D'Eath loses
the thumb drive

and he's drowned
in a bath of acid.

It's payback.

Mr. Bryce finds the drive,
witnesses the murder

of Janie Stretton
and he's warned

there will be
severe consequences

if he talks to the police

or if he reveals anything
about what he's seen to anyone.

Mr. Bryce, not his wife.

She was driving his car.

So you think they
were after him.

I think it's immaterial,
him, her, the kids.

The threat was to
the whole family.

And they must know that we
are going to come after them

with everything we've got.

Of course they do. Maybe
that's part of the thrill.

But it also worries me.

Because they are not
going to want to keep hold

of Mrs. Bryce for any
longer than is necessary.

Any resources you need
Roy, they are yours.

You find them you
get her out alive.

You're
watching ITV News Meridian,

with me, thank you to
John for the headlines

in the South-East.

Police are investigating the
murder of a man found dead

at his home in Notting Dale.

He's been officially identified
as Reginald Morris D'Eath.

Detectives believe someone
may have relevant information

to help.

Mr. Bryce.

That's him, isn't it?

They said he was dead, they
didn't say he was murdered.

Well, thanks for your
assistance on that.

I was surprised to find
you open on a Sunday.

Business never sleeps, sergeant.

No, I suppose not.
I'll remember that one.

Monthly standing order on
Reggie D'Eath's bank account

to a company called SCI Cinema.

Thousand pounds a month.

Scarab Corporation
International presumably.

Where are they based?

Belize.

Of course they are.

How many subscribers can
they have at a grand a month?

I mean, they wouldn't need many.

Say they have 100 worldwide,
that's 100,000 a month.

A 1000 subscribers
gives you a million.

Do you really think there
are that many people

wanna watch people being killed?

Well how many true crime
shows are on the TV?

Documentaries, books.

It's like Norman's FGX,
full girlfriend experience,

only this is the full
serial killer experience.

So they do what the
customer doesn't dare to.

Yeah, they take all the risk,

live out your fantasy while you
sit down, safe, respectable,

watching people have
their lives snuffed out.

You don't even have to
get out of your chair.

Zack, just do exactly
what they tell you.

Otherwise it will be Felix's
turn next, then Jessica's.

Please, do what they tell you,

please don't tell the police
anything else, they will know.

These people know everything.

Just do what they tell you.

Incident room.

This is Adam Davies
from Southern Resourcing Centre

I have a gentleman named
Seiler, calling about

a blue four-by-four DS
Grace has put a marker on.

He thinks they're dealing drugs.

Good evening, this is
DC Boutwood, Mr. Seiler?

The man is outside
my apartment again.

Can you read out the
vehicle registration

for me please, Sir?

Nick! Come on, now! Get
your coat, you're pulled.

Zack?

Where is she? Is Sophie okay?

You said you wouldn't
hurt her if I did exactly

what you wanted.

Just keep driving.

Grace.

Roy, it's Nick.

Report of the blue
four-by-four seen outside

Reginald D'Eath's house,

now parked outside
138 Fresh Mount Road.

Me and E.J. are on route.

On my way.

This is golf,
tango, Juliet, echo.

We need uniform backup in the
vicinity of Fresh Mount Road.

The incident is at number 138,

I don't want anyone there
to see or hear the car

until I say so.

Mr. Seiler?

Yes.

Is the car still there?

Yes, I can still see the car.

We're a couple of minutes away.

You want
me outside now?

No, please, stay inside.

Uniform
delta, zebra, bravo,

we are approaching Fresh
Mount Road, eta 30 seconds.

Okay, there it is.

Uniform delta, zebra,
bravo, please intercept.

Police, out of the vehicle!

Emma Jane! Emma Jane!

Emma Jane! Look at me!

Just look at me.

Call an ambulance! Move!

Okay, you're okay,
you're gonna be fine.

Nick, talk to me.
What's going on?

E.J.'s down. He ran her down.

How bad? Nick, how bad?

It's bad, ambulance
is on it's way.

Okay, hang tight, I'm
gonna be there in two

There's a
parking area just ahead.

Pull in and turn
your engine off.

We're assuming that couple
are the Bryces, aren't we?

Yes, Ma'am, we
believe that these

promised double killings
do refer to the Bryces.

And where did this come from?

A view of a clone copy
we made of material

on a laptop Roy recovered from
the four-by-four last night.

This clip was being sent out
to over a thousand customers

of the Scarab
Corporation worldwide.

So that's what the
driver was doing?

Yes, Ma'am, he was piggybacked

on to an unprotected router.

SOCO have confirmed
the indentations

in the white powder on
Claudio Fruselli's table

were left by the laptop

that I pulled out of
the car last night.

It was used to record his murder

and the placement of the
scarab by the killer.

And Janie Stretton.

Yeah, um, John and his team

haven't recovered the files yet,

but we think that's
a likely scenario.

And where are we at with the
driver of the four-by-four?

He's out of the game, Ma'am,

possible brain injury,
there's no ID on him,

there's nothing on his
clothes or in the car

to say who he is.

But he's got a
tattoo in Cyrillic.

"Any mission, any
time, any place."

It's the motto of the Spetznaz,
Russian special forces.

Oh, the hits just keep coming.

Russian special forces? Great.

Okay.

You've got your work,
I want photographs

of the Bryces out there.

News, print, TV, social media,

every outlet you can think of.

And shake down every
informant you've got.

I think you should step down.

You were in a car
crash last night.

I'm fine.

We have until 9:15
until the Bryce's murder

is broadcast on the internet.

You don't have time to get
anybody else up to speed,

I'm all you've got.

If these people want
to kill the Bryces,

they don't have
to wait til 9:15.

They could already be dead.

They promised live and
that's what I'm banking on.

Um, E.J.'s out of theatre.

They're keeping her in an
induced coma for the minute,

medics aren't hopeful.

Her parents are on the way.

All right, there's a time to
feel it, but this is not it.

Okay, you wanna do right by
E.J. you get the job done.

We find the Bryces and
we find who did this

to one of our own.

Zack. Zack.

Hey, wakey-wakey boy.

Don't you dare touch him!

Shh!

Here, clean yourselves up.

Gotta look your best dead.

I'm so sorry, Zack. Zack.

It's all right, it's all right.

We're gonna be all right.

I need you to drop
everything and help me out,

there are two lives at stake.

The forensic image
files are on a server

under job number 340.

What am I looking for?

Postal addresses, phone
numbers, email addresses,

anything that could
give us a clue

where a couple called
Mr. And Mrs. Bryce might be.

Where's the original?

It's on my desk, you
shouldn't need it, thanks.

Credit card activity has given
us garage at

where Zack Bryce filled up.

Just after 8:00 pm.

Here, CCTV's just been uploaded.

Can you go any closer
to the back of that car

that follows him out?

And E.J. mentioned a
car with tinted windows

parked on Janie
Stretton's street.

There, zoom in on the
sticker on the rear window.

The name of the gym
Mr. Fruselli belonged to.

Pulse Rate, about
half a dozen branches.

Call them, ask them
if they have a member

called Anton or someone
who drives a car

with that registration number.

And get the index
out to all the units.

Boss, Pulse Rate
Gym in Kemp Town

has a member called Anton Coff,

South-African according
to the receptionist.

He also checks out
with the vehicle index,

they have a list of
all the member's cars

which work with the
car park entry fob.

Home address?

Bevern, but it's bogus,

car's registered to Bornholt
International Limited.

The same as the four-by-four

parked outside Reggie
D'Eath's place, wasn't it?

The one from last night?

Boss, uniform got eyes,

he's entered Civil
Square car park.

Right, close it down.

Get SOCO and surveillance
over there now.

Got some good prints Roy,

and he'll never
know we were inside.

I'll get the test
results back to you asap.

That's great, thank you Joe.

Okay, let's get this
car park opened.

We might have a problem.

Just spoken to John
Rye, one of his team,

a civilian called Andy Gilney,
he's an uber tech head,

he's gone missing.

John had asked him to work
on a clone from the laptop

on the server, he said
all the clone files

had been deleted and the
laptop from four-by-four,

it's gone.

Oh, shit!

What part of don't ever come
here do you not understand?

I've been trying to call
you for the past hour.

I was on my way here.

Then why didn't you
answer your phone?

Because you told me
never to bring it here.

I think the cops
tailed me in town,

I left the car in the car park,

but when I went back
it was closed down.

Cops everywhere, bomb
scare they're saying,

but there's nothing on
the internet or the news.

We have an issue, Andy.

One of our associates
is in a coma.

He had a laptop with
him, the police have it.

We need it back.

Yeah, I know, I've got it.

And the clone that
your friend made.

Where?

In a safe place, my insurance.

No one will find it
in a thousand years.

Look, I set up your
systems, I managed your IT,

found Bryce for you,
tracked down Reggie D'Eath,

I've done everything
you asked and more.

Now I need to get off
the grid and disappear.

I need money.

Of course, no question,
we look after our own.

So, you're going to
tell us where it is

and then we're gonna
help you disappear.

Anton was printed
just over a year ago

after a brawl at the Escape
nightclub in Brighton.

His real name is
Hans van der Vjeet.

A former Recce, South
African Special Forces,

no fixed abode.

But I ran an international
search on his full set,

came up with a link
to this charmer.

Carl Nash, ex-army, ended up
with intelligence in Bosnia.

Eventually he was
court-martialed,

for filming the
execution of prisoners

and selling to footage

to the international
snuff movie market.

Are you serious?

He's been off the
grid for years.

Don't look like Anton's
coming back for his motor.

Left a couple of
bodies in the city,

but either he made his tail
or the bomb scare spooked him.

Hey, I know him, Smith.

Nash, Carl Nash.

Smith he calls himself.

He's one of the acid
suppliers I spoke to

got a big place
out at Port Slade.

We've got a trace on
Andy Gilney's phone.

It's headed towards Port Slade.

There's no laptop
and that's not all.

Andy left his phone in the car,

if the police are on to him.

I know what it means.

Roman, tell the boys we're
winding up UK operations.

Be ready to kick off in 15.

Yes, boss.

We should never have
gone for the Bryces.

We didn't have a choice.

Maybe if Bryce had left
it alone, but he didn't.

So fetch them out,
okay, two for the road,

and then we're gone.

If, if things don't work out.

Don't say that, they'll find
us. The police will find us.

But if they don't, I
just want you to know,

I love you.

Oh my God.

It's okay, it is.

- Oh, my God.
- It's okay,

it's all gonna be okay.

Right, we're going live.

Please, please don't do this.

I'm gonna enjoy this.

Police,
put your guns down!

Glen, wait!

No!

Don't move!

With me!

I'm all right, I'm all right.

Nick, you stay with him.

Officer's down, urgent
medical assistance required.

See to the Bryces.

You're all right.

It's all right.

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! You shoot
me, they shoot you.

Well, maybe that's
how I want it.

Death for entertainment?
Is that where we are now?

You can't see us pass you by.

That's what we've always been!

Blood in the sand.
Blood in the sand.

Oh, no you don't.
You're gonna live.

Do you understand me?

You're gonna live and
you're gonna spend

the rest of your days inside.

Stand clear, boss.

Don't shoot, he's unarmed.

Understood. Hold your fire.

The firearms officer, is he?

He's fine, bullet
went straight through.

He'll be back
playing prop forward

for East Sussex
before you know it.

Tell Ari I'm fine, yeah.

I don't want her or the
kids to be worried about me.

Listen, I'll bring her
to the hospital myself.

SOCO found remains,

John Rye's techie from
digital forensics,

Andy Gilney in an acid drum.

One of ours was
working for them.

Can't wait to tell
the chief constable.

We also found a human scull
in the office, female.

And an arm in formaldehyde.

Both boxed up, ready to go to
a customer in the Far East.

Janie Stretton?

She had a tattoo just
above her left wrist,

a butterfly.

Same as was on Nash's bracelet,

which I think belonged to her.

She liked butterflies.

Some sort of trophy?

I think these days they
call them collectables.

We also found the remaining
scarab beetles in the office.

Four missing from
the original 50.

And the Bryce's
would have made six.

Oh, yeah, they were
just getting started.

Any news on E.J.?

She's a fighter,
she's holding on.
