Why are we here?

Alister Peel.

The Internet guy? Really?

I'm afraid your father was murdered.

What does this look like to you?

HUGO: Discreet. Boring.

Villanelle is an attention seeker.

She wants people to know when she's killed someone.

She wants me to know.

A new girl? Villanelle will be furious!

The Ghost? She's the opposite of Villanelle.

- Who are you? - I'm Raymond, your new handler.

Aah! You're on a very tight leash

from now on.

Promise you won't be cross.

You want a drink?

Sure. Why not?

Good.

What did Carolyn give you?

MI6 are protecting my family.

Do they know you're alive?

No.

My daughter thinks I'm dead. Oh.

And you're happy not seeing her again?

Change the subject.

Do you know where Villanelle is?

You don't want to know. Of course I do.

Leave her alone.

She's a parasite, Eve.

She gets into your brain, she eats you up

to make space for herself.

Like that book with the hungry worm and all that food.

Pickles, tomatoes...

"The Hungry Caterpillar"?! Yes.

That's her.

Burrowing in and creeping around.

It would be convenient, wouldn't it, for me to give up on her.

Why should I lie about this?

You've still something worth having.

Don't let her take it.

I won't.

You think she loves you?

Then make her hate you.

Hate is something she understands, it's manageable.

Look what happens to the people she loves.

She'll love you to death.

Look at Anna, Nadia.

And look at me.

Greg Richardson. 60. Death by strangulation. Obviously.

Hedge funder. He was putting together a huge new fund.

To buy the Peel Company?

I think it's safe to assume.

I would have thought Villanelle's employers

wanted in on this as much as anyone.

What, you think she did this?

I don't know. I mean, is this supposed

to look like an accident?

It's not really Villanelle's style.

What about The Ghost? Maybe they work together.

Girl on girl.

Villanelle isn't a team player.

But if it is her...

Then we're looking at two different organizations.

At least.

What is the Peel Company selling?

Basically, everything you've ever looked at and done online.

These deliveries came for you.

Ohhh! ( GASPS )

There's a girl downstairs waiting to be paid.

Is there a card attached to my room?

Yes, but... Put it on that.

My boss, Raymond, said he would pay for anything I wanted.

Are you quite sure? It's rather a lot.

Yes!

Add it to the bill.

Just got off the phone

to the Peels' U.K. company, Pharaday.

They said they'd be delighted to help in any way they can.

Then they put me on to an intern in their Legal Department.

This is gonna be like pulling teeth.

Did they know why we were calling? Yeah.

I think they're genuinely used to being above the government.

Will you ask Carolyn to lean on Pharaday?

You're her favorite. We need a little help here.
