Good morning, Archie.

Oh, good morning, Zoe.

Oh, thanks for that.

So on a scale of 1 is
meh and 10 is "help me,"

how nervous are you?

Meh.

Yeah, meh.

Great.

I must say, I prefer this vibe.

But what did you do with
that awful, dreary Archie

from last year's conference?

Thank you.

Ha.

Wouldn't you like to know?

That's fine.

Siobhan, darling.

Can you put Daddy on?

No, I'm afraid he's not here.

Mom, just put him on.

I don't want
you upsetting him.

Tell him everything
is in hand.

Yes, I will.

You're right.

Look after yourself.

Bye.

Key-- uh, key drivers.

Sea level rise.

Oh.

You left your phone
in the office.

It pinged.

Everything all right?

Uh, yeah.

Hunky dory.

Nah.

Nah.

Give me the thing.

Oi.

Nah.

Do these things even work?

How would I know?

Did you see his face?

Oh, shit.
- No, no.

Look.
- Okay, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nice, nice.

The front door's open.

Oh, my days.

Let's take it out
for the last time

Leave when we're caught
sleeping, all right

Break out the boundaries
of both sides

Take everything
from the inside

Let's take it out
for the last time

Leave when we're caught
sleeping, all right

Break out the boundaries
of both sides

Take everything
from the inside

I don't know if I
can make you better

But I know for sure
that we should

Let go and just
ride the landslide

It's fine.

Let go and just
ride the landslide

I just want you to slow down.

I got my foot on the floor.
My foot's on the floor.

Look.

What's happening?

Poor thing's died.

Gonna have to ditch
it here or something.

Reporting
an abandoned vehicle.

Registration, Golf Lima
72 Victor November Papa.

Evidence of blood on vehicle.

Location, Trellick Estate.

Yeah?

Are you the registered owner
of an Audi motor vehicle?

So this is John's
eldest daughter.

How old?

Just turned 17.

She's coming up
to celebrate her birthday.

And what the hell are
17-year-olds into nowadays?

Oh, this is where
your detecting skills

come into their own.

Well, you're a detective.
What do you suggest?

ABBA.

Everyone loves ABBA.

She won't know who ABBA are.

She'll want to film
us doing the latest

TikTok dance or something.

Why is that funny?

So the car owner
claims total ignorance.

If he's lying, it's a bold
place to dump your car

with a body in the boot.

Looks like he
left in a hurry.

Key fob's inside.

Car's out of charge.

So Mr. Bukhari sideswipes
a pedestrian, runs out

of juice before he has
time to bury the evidence?

Well, I've got uniform in a
door-to-door around the estate.

Might get something from CCTV.

No, there must be
three ANPR cameras

within 500 yards of this.

We know who it is yet?

Meet Professor
Archie Matthew Draper.

Professor
of climate sciences at

the British Geographical
Society and lives

on Marcia Crescent.

What?

I should have stuck with
a career in academia.

Time of death, from
the vicar, estimate

of 12 to 24 hours.

He still had his
phone in his pocket.

There's blood there.

If he did dump
the car, wouldn't you

wipe that off first?

No external damage
to the vehicle.

I'm not working
on the assumption

of mechanical impact.

From an in-situ check, there's
no fractured bones or bruising.

One hell of a whack
on the side of the skull there.

As a veteran in the war
between motorists and cyclists,

maybe this fella
cut up the driver.

The driver got out
and attacked him.

What makes you think
he was on a bike?

Isn't that chain
oil on his trousers?

And if it is, where's the bike?

Well, the car is a satnav.

Pull the GPS data.

Retrace the route.

Check for accidents.

Have you dusted
the interior for prints?

Not yet, Max.

I thought I would
prioritize the dead body

we found in the boot.

So when did you
last see your car?

I got back about 1:00.

I did some work once I got
back here, made some dinner,

watched the England
game, and then

went to bed about midnight.

And you didn't check
your car before heading to bed?

No.

And you didn't hear anything?

Sorry.

What is it I'm
supposed to have heard?

The V8 accelerating away?

It's an electric car.

Voices, anything.

No, I had no idea
the car was even

missing until the police
came knocking on my door

this morning.

So you can't
explain to us how

your car ended up
by the Trellick Tower

with this man's
body in the boot?

What?

No, I don't know.

I don't know.

You last saw your husband
yesterday morning?

Briefly, around 8:00.

Archie was heading to work.

I was getting the girls
ready for school.

How did he seem?

Normal.

Nothing came to mind, a bit
nervous about his conference.

Which conference was that?

On climate change at the
British Geographical Society.

I was under the impression
that this was a car accident.

Is that not the case?

At this stage, we're
keeping an open mind.

Hello.

George Rushland.

DS Walsh.

Detective
Inspector Max Arnold.

Oh, Siobhan.

I came as soon as I heard.

I'm so, so sorry, darling.

What am I going
to tell the girls?

We'll all be together.

When you're ready,
we'll send the car

to collect them from school.

Mrs. Draper, did you have
any contact with Archie

during the day?

You texted him
in the afternoon.

Oh, yes.

I tried to call him later too.

Then you had plans
to see him last night?

We had theater tickets.

Which theater?

The King's in Waterloo.

You weren't worried when
your husband didn't show up?

It's conference week.

When I booked the tickets, I
half expected him not to show.

What did you see?

Oh, "Six Characters
in Search of an Author."

After it finished?

I came home.

Got back after 11:00.

Can anyone confirm that?

I can.

I was here, babysitting.

Mrs. Draper,
when you got home--

Detectives, can
I suggest that we

end things here for now?

My family need time
to process this.

And we have a couple
more questions--

I'm not asking.

Neither are we.

Mrs. Draper, when you
got home and your husband

wasn't here either, where
did you think he was?

Oh, for--

Dad, it's fine.

I was expecting him to be
sleeping at his office.

He did it during conference
week last year and the

year before.

Mrs. Rushland, where
were you yesterday?

Um, I was working from home.

Then I collected
the girls from school,

came back here, cooked
dinner, and stayed

until Siobhan came home.

And Mr. Rushland?

I was at the office.

Until?

I had a meeting with
investors, New York time.

So I was there until
10:00, 10:15 PM.

Then my driver dropped me home.

If you want that
confirmed, there's my PA,

my driver, my colleagues--

Oh, Dad.

the cameras at the office--

Thank you.

Do any of you
recognize this car?

No.

It belongs to a
Mr. Taymoor Bukhari.

It's where your husband's
body was discovered.

This man, this Mr. Bukhari,
is he responsible for--

for Archie?

We'll keep you informed
of any further developments.

"Six Characters in
Search of an Author,"

arguably Luigi Pirandello's
most famous play.

Tom Hiddleston's in it.

John has booked us tickets.

We're going next month.

Have you seen it?

My dad dragged me
to a production years ago.

You'll have to remind
me how it ends.

Why is that?

Like most of the plays
I've seen, I fell asleep.

Sorry, but the number
you have dialed

is no longer in service.

So tell me about
this career in academia

you turned your back on.

That was a lifetime ago, pipe
dream of a naive post-grad.

Well, what did you study?

Philosophy at UCL.

First class with honors.

Ooh, get you.

Morning.

Okay.

Thanks.

You'd fit in here, wandering
these hallowed halls.

What happened?

Oh, crisis of confidence.

Convinced myself
I wasn't capable.

Was the last time I let
dyslexia stand in my way.

I wish I could go back
and sit myself down.

Well, it worked out.

You found your calling.

Yeah, no complaints.

If I could go back, I'd
tell myself, don't worry.

One day, Rona Cardano
will get her comeuppance.

10th-grade bully.

Ah.

A few years later, I
heard she got arrested.

That was a good day.

What was she arrested for?

Benefit fraud.

Professor Draper was
rehearsing his speech.

He was in a good mood, which
I guess was out of character,

at least before a conference.

Last year, he was
a bag of nerves.

But yesterday he didn't
seem daunted by any of it.

Then when I came back
around 3:00, he was gone.

Was that unusual?

His wife said he often stayed
late before a conference.

I assumed he'd gone
home early to rest.

What was the speech about?

Coastal erosion.

Surely nothing
contentious in that?

No.

Have either
of you ever received

any backlash or threats?

Not that I know of.

Am I in danger
as the conference organizer?

Given the circumstances, it
might be an idea to postpone.

Was there anything else that
concerned you, Ms. Parrish?

Last week, Thursday,
a woman came to see Archie.

I don't recall seeing
her here before.

And afterward, Archie
looked a bit shell-shocked.

It wasn't his wife?

Siobhan?

No.

This lady was older.

Do you recognize this person?

Yeah, that's her.

The girls are inside.

I don't want to upset them.

Of course.

Mrs. Rushland, you paid a visit
to Archie at work last week.

I did.

Any reason?

I was passing.

I thought I'd pop in.

Our witness
seemed to suggest--

Is this the young woman
who works with Archie?

Well, she claims the visit
caused Archie some distress.

Well, shell-shocked, she said.

That's not true.

A while ago, Archie did confide
in me that he had concerns.

About?

Upsetting a woman at work
who he said was a bit--

how did he put it?

Absorbed with him.

I think she might be
deflecting attention.

Archie Draper, 47 years old,
professor of climate sciences

at the British
Geographical Society,

formerly at Imperial College,
lives on Marcia Crescent,

married to Siobhan
Draper, n�e Rushland,

daughter of George and Miriam.

As in the Rushland Group,
a multifaceted corporation

who started out
financial strip mining,

breaking down failing
companies for parts.

Archie and Siobhan
have two daughters, 12

and 14, both at Queen's House.

Was there anything
from social media?

Archie was a keen
cyclist, devoted family man,

lots of pictures
of his daughters,

a few too many photos
of salads and smoothies.

CCTV outside
the British Geographical

Society shows Archie leaving
work yesterday at 14:41.

We've yet to find his
bike, bag, and cycle helmet.

Anything from the door-to-door?

No.

From the ANPR, one
sighting of the vehicle

on Ladbroke Grove at 15:50, but
no usable image of the driver.

So why didn't Mr. Bukhari
report his car stolen?

What was
your impression of him?

Evasive.

Mr. Bukhari's company,
Bukhari Systems,

employs around 50 people,
based in Knightsbridge,

supplies e-commerce software
to the gambling industry.

So leading climate scientist
killed before a keynote speech

on climate change.

Is that what we're
thinking, someone

from the anti-global-warming
lobby?

So who's read the speech?

I'm halfway through.

I mean, it's a bit--

Hard-going?

Dry.

Jess?

I loved it.

It's fascinating stuff.

Coastal erosion around
the UK, recommendations

for improvements.

Level-headed,
nothing provocative.

We have a match
for third-party prints

found on the steering wheel.

Okay.

Detective Inspector Arnold.

DS Walsh.

Are you Finbar Carter?

Never heard of him.

Odd, because you're
the spitting

image of Finbar Carter--

shoplifting, possession,
taking without owner's consent.

That's joyriding to you.

We need to ask you
some questions.

Is your mom not home?

What's this about?

Where were you yesterday
afternoon and evening?

I was here all day.

Do you recognize
this vehicle?

Nope.

What did you
do with the bike?

Make yourselves at home.

Tea in the jar.

Milk in the fridge.

Why don't you tell us how
that body ended up in the boot?

When we search your flat, are
we going to find the victim's

bike and belongings?

Oh, and we'll need to do
tests on your clothing.

Are we going to find blood?

I don't know
nothing about no body.

But you did steal the car?

Shit.

Right, so take us
through what happened.

Did you know him, Archie
Draper, the dead man?

We didn't kill anyone.

We?

Who else was with you?

It was his idea
to nick a car.

I just went along for the ride.

Name?

Name!

Stan.

Where can we find this Stan?

He's keeping over here
for a couple of nights.

I don't know where he is.

But when he gets
back, I'll call you.

Oh, that's kind.

Let's continue this
down at the station.

Stan was the one
who took the car.

Honest.

I stayed behind.

Problem is, Mr.
Carter, your fingerprints

are all over
the steering wheel.

You should really treat
yourself to some gloves.

Coming.

Nearly 40 pounds
from Waterloo

to here, 40 bloody pounds.

And of course, his GPS
routed us via Piccadilly

to avoid traffic.

Pedestrians were overtaking
us as well as the odd snail.

They're in complete denial
that the satnav companies

are in cahoots with the cabbies
to rob us all blind.

He looked at me like
I was raving mad.

Where's your corkscrew?

Sorry.

You spent 40 pounds just to
come and borrow my corkscrew?

Well, I was supposed
to be at the theater,

but I opted for a refund
and rebooked

because I heard that
the understudy wasn't

a patch on the marvelous Tom.

Maybe they should rename
it "Six Characters

in Search of a Leading Man."

Waterloo.

You were at the King's Theater?

Yes.

Glasses?

No, some other time.

Uh, I have, uh, things to do.

Spoil sport.

All right then.
Tomorrow night.

Takeaway.

Yes, my treat.

And this time, please lay the
table because I really don't

want to eat off my lap again.

Uh, corkscrew.

Thank you.

We'd like to talk to you
about Wednesday evening again

and where you were.

Try and eat something.

It was the King's
Theater you went to, yes?

That's right.

To see "Six Characters
in Search of an Author."

How was Mr. Hiddleston?

He was fine.

He was taken ill
during the first act,

and the performance
was canceled.

The theater refunded tickets.

So were you at the theater
on Wednesday night?

Briefly.

What do you mean, briefly?

I waited for Archie
outside, even though I

knew he wouldn't come.

But by the time the doors
opened, I wasn't in the mood.

So I skipped the play.

When was this?

8:00.

And then where did you go?

The Waterside
Inn in Pimlico, had

a couple of glasses of wine.

And then I took an Uber home.

Well, why didn't
you tell us that?

Excuse me.

Jess.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Look, I know how this looks.

But I was in shock, and I
did go to the theater.

So I thought it was
simpler to just say that.

Simpler to lie?

Max.

Uniform have picked
up the other joyrider.

They're bringing him in.

Excellent.

Siobhan?

They just came
to follow up on something.

Have you lied to them?

Isn't that the Rushland way?

Lies, lies, lies.

So we know two
days ago, you and

Fin Carter went for a little
spin in a stolen car.

We recovered these from
searching Mr. Carter's flat.

They're used by car thieves to
clone the signal from key fobs.

Are we going to find
your prints on them?

All you're doing is
delaying the inevitable.

We have your mate's
phone and laptop.

So we'll find your number
and then your name and

then where you live.

It's Brown, Stanley Brown.

Address?

I don't have one.

Did you know the police
were looking for you?

Are we sitting across from
the only teenager in London who

doesn't own a phone or any ID?

Okay, Stanley
Brown, perhaps you

can tell us how
the body of this man

ended up in the boot
of your stolen car.

Archie Draper,
professor, husband,

father of two daughters,
just cycling home from work.

What happened?

The offer of a phone
call still stands.

Look, if you're scared
your parents will find out,

I assure you they will.

Look at me.

Stan!

I'm pausing this interview.

I'll book him in downstairs.

No, leave him here for a bit.

DI Arnold, DS Walsh
leaving the room at 11:05.

What is it?

I think that might
be Ashley's eldest.

What?

Four or five years ago, I met
him in the hospital staff room.

He was playing on her phone.

I'm sure that's him.

Hi.

Hi, yourself.

You lost?

You look lost.

There's something I
need to talk to you about.

Sounds ominous.

What have I done?

It's about the car with the
body in the boot, specifically

the two lads who stole it.

Go on.

One of them was Stan.

My Stan?

Yeah.

You'll catch a chill.

I just need a break
from all the questions.

Siobhan, I've got a question.

Thank you.

You all right?

Who was that?

Fin Carter?

Yeah.

Said
you were over at Katie's.

We broke up.

More lies.

You're done.
- I know.

I know.
- Oh, you know?

What do you know?

Stan!

Not to me.

I'm really sorry.

I will talk to you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about this.

It's not ideal.

What will happen?

Well--

Part of me just
wants to teach him

a lesson about consequences.

Ben and I have tried
good cop, bad cop.

I'm not asking for favors.

By the book, no corners cut.

I mean it.

Well, let's see
what he tells us,

and we'll take it
from there, okay?

Thank you.

Yeah.

I don't know anything
about that body.

But you and Mr. Carter were
out scouting for cars to nick.

It was his idea.

He said he needed a mate
to hold the scanner in the car.

It's a two-man job.

That's what he said.

But it didn't work?

No.

So how did you get
hold of the key fob?

Well, Fin took it.

The front door was open.

I was by the car.

That's all we did, take it.

Took it for a little drive.

We didn't go near the boot,
didn't even look in it.

What time did you steal it?

Was about 4 o'clock, I think.

And when you dumped it?

Like, an hour later, tops.

The car barely had
any charge in it.

But the body must have been
in the boot when we took it.

It must have been.

If he's telling
the truth, that narrows

down the time of death.

Archie was caught on camera
leaving the British

Geographical Society at 2:41.

Our joyriders stole
the car around 4:00.

Archie's call records.

Missed calls from his wife,
Siobhan, and two more the next

morning between 7:00 and 8:00.

Siobhan could be
covering her tracks.

Any texts that stand out?

Well, she seems concerned,
asking where he is.

But her texts to Archie are
pretty dry, all lowercase.

Call me when you can.

Everything okay?

What time you home?

Perfunctory.

Right.

Stan claims that Bukhari
left his front door open.

Why?

Nobody leaves their door
open in Chelsea.

With car keys
within easy reach.

So if the body was
already in the boot--

I think we can connect Archie
Draper with Taymoor Bukhari.

Digital forensics went
through the car's satnav data.

I've drawn up routes
for the day Archie Draper died.

So joyriders drove in a circle
around the same four streets,

and Taymoor Bukhari
traveled to and

from his private parking
space near his office

in Knightsbridge.

But I also scrolled through
the satnav's destination log,

and one of the addresses
is Marcia Crescent.

Where the Drapers live.

So they do know
Taymoor Bukhari.

Three trips over
the last month.

This is Siobhan's
text, sent at half

2:00 to Archie the day he died,
10 minutes before he left work.

A busy late night.

Can't wait to see you.

Love, S. The kisses,
out of character?

Yes.

Eats shoots and leaves.

What eats shoots and leaves?

Well, pandas.

Footballing pandas?

No shoots
as in bamboo shoots.

Oh, I see.

Oh, that's clever.

Exactly, punctuation.

So what if A refers to Archie?

Archie busy, full stop.

Late night, full stop.

Can't wait to see
you, full stop.

Love S, kiss, kiss.

She's updating someone.

I think she sent it
to Archie by mistake.

We've all been there.

So Siobhan
intended that for--

Taymoor Bukhari.

Is that where he went?

To Taymoor Bukhari's
house to confront them?

Let's ask.

You told us you didn't
know Taymoor Bukhari.

According
to your phone records,

yesterday you placed
a call to a number

registered to Taymoor Bukhari.

And we know he made multiple
trips to your residence

in Marcia Crescent.

So you do know him.

I used to send myself flowers
to try to make Archie jealous,

but he never even noticed.

He was so wrapped
up in his work.

And the past few weeks,
with the conference,

had been even worse.

He's withdrawn.

He's stressed all the time.

You told us the last time
you saw Archie was when he left

for work on Wednesday morning.

Is that true?

Yes, yes.

I didn't lie about that.

During the day, you were
at the Rushland Group offices?

Yes.

Or were you with Mr. Bukhari?

No.

But you had plans to meet.

You'd arranged to attend
the theater together?

Yes.

Unless, of course,
you bought the tickets

to give yourself an alibi.

What?

No.

We checked.

No one at the Waterside
Inn remembers

seeing you there that night.

No sign of you on their CCTV.

So another lie.

So did you or did you
not meet Mr. Bukhari

on the day your husband died?

Well, later I did.

A busy.

Late night.

Can't wait to see you.

Love, S. You sent that text to
Archie by mistake, didn't you?

I was planning to meet
Taymoor that evening.

But I waited for ages,
and he never turned up.

So where did you go?

Went to see him,
to see Taymoor.

Mr. Bukhari,
why did you cancel

your phone contract the morning
after Archie Draper died?

So is that what
you're all looking for?

My phone?

Can you explain to us how
you knew Siobhan Draper?

Who?

You've made numerous trips
to Siobhan Draper's address.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Did you see Archie Draper
on Wednesday afternoon?

No, why would I?

No.

Did you want Archie
out of the way?

No comment.

DC Lombard.

Excuse me.

When your car was stolen,
was Mr. Draper's body

already in the boot?

Blood?

Yeah.

He refused to speak to me.

He told me he was
tired and asked--

demanded that I leave.

How long were you there?

I got there about half
8:00, a minute, no longer.

Was Taymoor's car outside?

No.

At first I thought he was out.

Did he mention Archie?

No.

What did you do
after you left?

I drove around, sat
in my car for a while.

I don't know how
long I was upset.

Once I'd calmed
down, I went home.

I couldn't tell you.

You understand?

How long have you known him?

Since the start of last year.

We met through mutual friends.

He knew I was married.

It was a bit of fun.

And you've been
in a relationship since then?

No, no.

Once Archie suspected, I--

I broke it off.

About a month ago, I--

I bumped into Taymoor again.

When Archie
received that text,

would he have put
two and two together?

Do you think
Taymoor killed him?

Unless you have
another explanation

for how your husband's
dead body

ended up in your lover's car.

Archie turned up at my house
Wednesday, just after 3:00.

He was drunk, unsteady on his
feet, slurring, shouting.

He was furious.

I just wanted
to sit down with him

and talk it all
out like gentlemen.

How gallant.

He barged past me.

He was shouting for Siobhan.

So I asked him to leave.

But he didn't.

I encouraged him--
gently encouraged

him towards the door.

He took a swing at me, but he
was too drunk to land it.

Did you retaliate?

No.

Well, yes, but--

I shoved him.

But it was a reflex thing,
and it wasn't hard at all.

But he tripped
over his own feet,

and he smashed his
head on the glass.

And there he is,
on the floor, blood--

Why didn't you
call an ambulance?

I thought he was dead.

You did what any
morally sound person

would do and bundled
his unconscious body

into the boot of your car.

I was in full-on crunch mode.

So you put
the body in the boot,

went back inside the house.

By the time I got
back, the car was gone.

It was an accident.

And I know I should
have called the police.

You were in full-on
crunch mode.

No significant change
of a brain injury.

So it doesn't look like
a blow to the head was fatal.

No pre-existing conditions
in his medical history.

You can see here the head
wound is superficial.

I found fibers in his airways,
which were a match for the ones

we took from the boot lining.

He was still alive when
he was dumped in the boot?

Yes.

The cause of death looks
to be heart failure.

Acute myocardial infarction?

He died from a heart attack?

Well, are we saying
natural causes?

Nothing natural about it.

He was healthy.

There's no other indications
of heart problems.

In my opinion,
something man-made had

triggered his heart attack.

I need to check
toxicology and see

what they throw into the mix.

If there's nothing else.

The girls are upstairs
watching television.

What happened?

They think
Taymoor killed him.

How can this be happening?

How?

Oh, my darling.

I'm so sorry.

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Yoo-hoo.

What?

Oh, you had to be early today.

Are you washing
your clothes in the river now?

Oh, I'd burn that
if I were you.

It smells like Neptune's socks.

This is one
of my favorite shirts.

Can you pass the bowl?

I'll soak it overnight.

Oh.

Rushland Riverside.

What's this?

It's for work.

Oh, that makes
sense, because it's

a bit out of your price range.

Oh.

Is this about that
dead professor

they found in that car?

No comment.

I read in the "Metro"
that he's George

Rushland's son-in-law.

You remember the horrible
little twerp?

So does dodgy
George remember me?

I doubt it.

Well, didn't you ask him?

Funnily enough, no.

Why not?

Oh, Mr. Rushland, do you
remember when those eco

protesters staged a sit-in
at your offices and one loony

activist chained
herself to your desk and

sang songs about dodgy George?

Well, that was my aunt Olivia.

Well, not if you
put it like that.

Anyway, how's Astrid?

I don't know.

Oh, Max.

I know you're not
still together,

but you can keep in touch
with her, you know?

I'll text her.

What are you, 16?

Hi.

Long time no speak.

How are you?

Send.

Your finest work
yet, Shakespeare.

Oh.

"Hi, we need to talk."

Oh, Max.

That doesn't sound
very good at all.

Thank you.

A picture of what
happened is changing.

Ashley says Archie's
head wound wasn't fatal.

He actually died
of a heart attack.

So what or who triggered
his heart attack?

Bukhari claims Archie turned
up at his house drunk.

But as yet, there's no evidence
of alcohol in his system.

Maybe he was given something
by someone to calm his nerves

before the conference.

What do we know about
Archie's colleague Zoe Parrish?

Miriam Rushland suggested they
were romantically involved.

Zoe was asked about that, and
she categorically denied it.

Do we know who
gains financially

from Archie's death?

His wife, Siobhan, is the
main beneficiary in his will.

She's a Rushland.

I doubt she has much need
for an academic's pension.

I've been reading up
on the Rushland Group.

Three years ago, they moved
into property development.

Their first project, Rushland
Riverside, 100

units, collapsed.

Not literally.

No.

They're now
on the second attempt

to get it over
the line, this time

with 300 units, cheapest one
listed at more than 2 million.

Over half a billion.

And the rich keep
getting richer.

I'll do a broader sweep,
see what I can turn up.

Max, look at this.

We recovered most
of Archie Draper's items,

including a laptop
and a cycle helmet.

Oh, that's good.

Both sold on by Fin Carter,
but the bike still in the wind.

See what you can
get off that camera.

You told us that Archie's
colleague had a soft spot

for him, but she refutes that.

Is it true?

Well, I might have
exaggerated a bit.

I was angry when
she said that he was

shell shocked after I left.

How ridiculous.

Did you know about
Siobhan's affair?

Yes.

And we didn't approve.

Was that the real reason
for your impromptu visit

to see Archie last week?

The problem with
my daughter is that she

has always been restless.

Did you know that she
and Archie met on a rally?

If there was a march,
my daughter would be on it.

We were under
the impression that Archie

only learned that the affair
had resumed on the day he died.

No, he knew last
week, which is

why I took it upon myself
to mediate or to interfere,

as George would put it.

Your family really
aren't helping

by withholding information.

I didn't want
my daughter to know

about my visit
or my granddaughters

to discover
the reason behind it.

After everything
else that's going on,

they don't need to know about
their mother's infidelity too.

How's it going?

Learned some new routes.

Plus, I can now swear
at cyclists in at least

eight different languages.

What the hell is that?

Spinach and wheatgrass.

Helen and I are
on a health kick.

Well, does it taste
as bad as it looks?

Like liquid lettuce.

Hang on.

Why are you on a health kick?

Helen and I start our first
round of IVF next week.

Oh, wow.

Good luck.

Is that what you say?

Yeah, I guess.

Thanks.

It'll be worth it.

Well, breathe.

Push through the pain.

Good morning, Archie.

Oh, good morning, Zoe.

Oh.

Hey, Jess.

One theory is
that Archie's drink

may have been spiked, yes?

Yeah.

This is from the morning
of the day he died.

Morning, Archie.

Oh, good morning, Zoe.

Oh, thanks.

So on a scale of 1 is
meh and 10 is "help me."

Found it in Archie's office.

I spoke to the HR department.

You'll love this.

Last August, Zoe Parrish
filed a complaint

against Archie Draper.

Seriously?

Coffee?

Four-day-old coffee
from the smell of it.

Layla.

Was looking at the cycle
helmet footage.

This is from Wednesday,
the day he died.

Archie, you weren't
serious last night?

Uh-uh, no.

Maybe.

Why?

Because it wouldn't just
be rash, the consequences.

My father would destroy us.

What does she mean by that?

You know I would never do
anything to hurt this family.

Imagine waking up every
morning to that view.

It'd be like
a greenhouse in the summer.

I'd buy a lorry-load
of fans and put up with it.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We were surprised
you were back at work.

What brings you both here?

We located the camera
on Archie's cycle helmet.

It captured a conversation you
both had on Wednesday morning.

If we go somewhere
more private,

we can play it for you.

No need.

I remember.

In the video, you refer
to an exchange you and

Archie had the night before.

"Archie, you weren't
serious last night."

What did you mean by that?

It was nothing.

My father and I had a minor
disagreement about zoning.

I'd blown it out
of all proportion.

I was pushing
for more green space.

My father pushed back.

And over a glass
of wine on Tuesday

night, I let off steam
and told Archie how I felt.

What was Archie
thinking of doing?

Mentioning it in his speech.

We had a laugh imagining
how my father would react.

How would he react?

Look--

Do you fear your father
will cut you off?

It was a joke.

You weren't
laughing in the video.

It was morning-after
paranoia.

I was scared.

Of your father?

No.

Anyway, I thought
Taymoor had confessed.

It seems to us your family
regard the truth as optional.

Well, we don't.

Results in from Ashley.

Renal histology reveals
traces of digoxin

present in Archie Draper's
bowel and bladder contents.

Well, Ashley's revised the
cause of death, cardiac arrest

from poisoning.

Digoxin, from
digitalis, derived

from the common foxglove.

It's found in cardiac
glycosides.

Heart meds.

Well, according
to his medical history,

it's never been prescribed.

The report confirms
traces of digoxin

in the contents of his flask.

Someone spiked his coffee.

Thank you for coming
in, Ms. Parrish.

We wanted to ask
you about this.

Good morning, Archie.

Oh, good morning, Zoe.

It's footage from the camera
on Archie Draper's cycle

helmet.

We found the flask
in his office.

Analysis of the contents
revealed coffee with traces

of a poison called digoxin.

Was there any tension between
you and Professor Draper?

What are you implying?

Last August, you filed
a complaint against him.

Is that correct?

What was the complaint about?

It was unfounded.

I accused him of plagiarism.

I imagine in academia,
that's a cardinal sin.

It is.

Archie had published
a paper on renewables,

which I felt had repurposed
some of my own research.

I wrote to the BGS
code of conduct panel,

but shortly after
withdrew my complaint.

Why was that?

I was wrong.

Were you pressured?

No.

I mean, Archie was
livid, but I did it

because I had made a mistake.

There were similarities
between both mine and

Archie's research,
nothing more.

I apologized and closed
the complaint.

Was that really
the last of it?

Yes.

I felt awful about it, calling
his integrity into question.

That was the cardinal sin.

Layla, I've handed everything
off on the Draper case now.

I know.

I wanted to check you're okay.

I'm fine.

Juggling three cases
at the moment, so.

You're staying then?

Yeah.

I appreciate what
you and Max did.

Well, it turned out
Stan wasn't much use.

By the book to let
him go with a warning.

All right.

You're awake.

Teenagers.

Have you met yours yet?

This weekend.

Roll with the punches.

There's no world in which
you get eased in gently.

Ben and I have got
four boys, and we

weren't ready for any of them.

It will be okay.

I remember
our nighttime walks.

The ones I dragged you on?

My favorite was your guided
tour of the coal hole covers.

Go on, do that one.

Oh, that's a Hayward, 1906.

I still don't know
if you're making this up.

Well, you can always
go back and check.

I'd rather believe
that you're right.

So what's your news?

Oh, yeah.

Uh, I've given up the gallery.

Oh, are
congratulations in order?

We're retiring
on the proceeds of a big sale?

I wish.

I've already signed
a contract on a new one.

Downsizing or--

Leipzig.

It's in Leipzig.

I'm moving back home.

Oh.

I, um, I've been thinking
about it for a while.

My mother won't
be around forever.

And nothing here, really.

There's an expression
for that, conscious uncoupling.

Or is it unconscious coupling?

I'm sure one
of those is illegal.

So when do you go?

Next week.

Next week?

If you'd answered your phone.

So I guess this is
auf Wiedersehen.

Well, for now.

You're still down
as my next of kin.

I'll see you.

Travel well, Asti.

Oh, AC Woodrow and Co.

It's self-locking.

How do you do that?

Max, look at this.

In an interview January
2022, George Rushland

describes Rushland Riverside
as his life's work.

So this next bit
must have hurt.

The reason for its
collapse a few months after

was an environmental
impact assessment.

Guess who wrote it?

Not Archie.

Looks like there might have
been bad blood between them.

Three years
of family gatherings,

all that injustice building.

Three years to plan
how to get rid.

Let's ask
for a chat, informal.

Don't want them hiding
behind a wall of solicitors.

A friendly chit-chat.

I can do that.

We're following up on some
business dealings, specifically

three years ago,
the first iteration

of your Rushland
Riverside Development.

Oh, must we relive that
dreadful period again?

What made you
postpone the project?

We needed to secure
new investors.

Your previous ones dropped
out a month before you

planned to break ground.

Correct.

Mrs. Rushland,
you were working

as a solicitor at that time.

I was legal counsel
to the Rushland Group, yes.

After the deal
collapsed, your firm

was left with loans totaling
nearly 50 million pounds.

The correct figure
is 46 million.

We had taken
on substantial debts.

In order to meet the interest
payments on those debts,

you remortgaged
this house in 2022.

And you remortgaged your
daughter's six months later.

Perhaps that's how it
seems from the outside.

How does it differ
from the inside?

You carried out
an environmental impact

assessment on the initial
plans for the development.

Standard practice.

It was carried out
by your son-in-law.

Archie?

Yes.

His report was complimentary
about your carbon offsetting,

green spaces, and eco
grants, but pretty damning

on the flooding risks.

Is that why your investors
ran for the hills?

We did what we had to do.

Which was?

We addressed the concerns
raised by Archie,

and then we went back to market
to resecure our finance.

You do know that
Archie carried out

the EIA on the current
development, don't you?

Oh, no?

Well, never mind.

I'll get my PA
to send you a copy.

Archie saved us
and our investors

from making a terrible mistake
so that at the second attempt,

we could be more ambitious.

We are, and always
will be in his debt.

For all their bravado,
it must have been shaming,

investors leaving them
with debts like that.

Oh, no.

Okay.

Big spanner in the works.

The CPS believe we
have enough evidence

to charge Taymoor Bukhari.

But Archie was alive when
Bukhari put him in his boot.

Oh, I know.

Any solicitor worth
their salt will get it

knocked down to manslaughter.

How did you get
on with Ms. Parrish?

She admits to the complaint.

She played it
down, but I don't

think that score is as settled
as she wants us to believe.

Did we get anything
back from Archie's laptop?

Cyber is sending
through the data.

All we need is
one incriminating

email from George Rushland.

We also shouldn't
discount Siobhan Draper.

According to the security
logs at the BGS,

she dropped by yesterday
to pick up Archie's stuff.

She had access
to the flask too.

I'll see if I can get the CPS
to hold off for 24 hours.

I know it's a memorial, but I
think the girls might want

to have one of him smiling.

George?

We never had any
secrets, have we?

Never.

And that's why I need--

Mom?

The oven won't stop beeping.

Right.

I'm coming.

Anything on Archie's laptop?

Nothing in the emails,
except proof that geographers

love their acronyms.

Oh, thanks.

Jess and I have
split the documents.

Which was a bad idea.

Did you know 15%
of the UK coastline

is at risk of erosion?

See?

Mustard.

Max, do you have a copy
of Archie Draper's conference

speech there?

Oh, my-- whoa.

Found something?

Yeah.

There is a different
version of Archie's speech

on his hard drive.

It's current, created
two weeks ago,

modified on Wednesday
morning, only this one

is not about coastal erosion.

It's an expos�.

On George Rushland.

So Siobhan didn't talk
Archie out of it after all.

How are sales, Mr. Rushland?

Strong.

Over 60% sold or under offer.

You must be relieved.

This is a copy of the speech
that we believe Archie planned

to give on Wednesday evening.

Where'd you find this?

On his laptop.

He makes some
troubling accusations.

Are they true?

I take it that's a yes.

You didn't commission Archie
to do a new impact study.

You repurposed the one
from three years ago.

But the flooding
risks remain.

You haven't fixed
any of the issues

raised in his previous report.

In fact, you falsified Archie's
data to downplay those risks.

Did you know that Archie
planned to give this speech?

It claims you lied
to get planning permission,

lied to investors,
lied to your customers.

If our investigation
proves to be right,

it'll do more than
impact your sales.

It'll land you in prison.

Defrauding investors
and government officials,

that's a serious offense.

Flooding risk, please.

It's histrionics.

If Archie had made this speech,
I would have applauded him,

welcomed the debate.

You think it will
affect our sales

or matter to our investors?

It's nonsense.

Our climate has been
changing for millennia.

So you don't believe
in climate change?

I believe we shouldn't
get our knickers

in a twist about it.

Many people live
on the river, Mr. Rushland.

They'd like to know
about these risks.

Do you think they would?

Their insurance companies
push their premiums

through the roof?

No, of course they wouldn't.

They'd do what
we would all do--

enjoy our day in paradise
and shut out the white noise.

As long as you're
making money.

Did you know
about this speech?

Of course I didn't.

Did you poison
your son-in-law

to prevent him from making it?

Poison?

That's absurd.

Whatever was
at stake, Archie was

the husband of my daughter, the
father of my granddaughters.

That doesn't
answer the question.

You've been here
before, three years ago.

You couldn't let it
happen again, could you?

You'd lose your house.

Your daughter's family
would lose theirs.

And then there's millions
in government eco grants

you'd have to pay back.

This would bankrupt you.

As long as I promise
to plant a few saplings,

they don't care.

That's not how it works.

That's exactly how it works.

This is Detective Layla
Walsh, Chelsea Police Station.

I need an ambulance
for a male collapsed and

unresponsive, possible heart
attack at the Rushland Group,

Lots Road, Chelsea.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bye.

Doctor said he's
going to pull through,

but won't be well enough
to answer our questions

for a couple of days.

So did George poison
Archie to protect

his business interests?

I think he'd do anything to
protect his business interests.

Hospital sent through George
Rushland's medical records.

He has end-stage heart disease.

Ashley said that the
substance used to poison Archie

is found in heart medication.

When was George's heart
problem diagnosed?

Three years ago, 2022.

When the first Rushland
Riverside deal collapsed.

Is it possible Siobhan
and her father conspired?

Siobhan knew the truth
about the speech.

She tells her father.

Siobhan knew burning
down her father's empire

would have consequences.

I think that's
what she was warning

Archie about in that video.

When did Siobhan pick
up Archie's belongings?

Yesterday.

Yeah, but what time?

Security at BGS
signed her in at 12:50.

Weren't we interviewing her
at the Rushland Offices then?

Jess, see if they have
CCTV of her arrival.

Three years ago,
she nearly lost

George, nearly lost it all.

She'd do anything not to be
in that position again.

Mrs. Rushland.

We'd like to ask
you some questions.

Can this wait?

We've been
at the hospital all day.

No, it can't.

Mrs. Rushland.

Mom.

Well, what do you
want to ask her?

Come in.

We believe George told you
about Archie's real speech

exposing the Rushland Group.

Yes, he told me everything.

Mom, what's going on?

Yesterday you visited the
British Geographical Society.

You signed
in as your daughter.

Did you go there looking
to retrieve Archie's flask?

We'd already picked
it up and tested it.

Inside were
traces of a poison

called digoxin, found
in cardiac glycosides,

heart medicine.

That's what
your husband's been taking

for the last three years.

But he's only just--

Daddy's been ill
for three years?

We didn't want to worry you.

Why don't you take us
through what happened, Miriam?

I don't know how to explain.

But you admit you
poisoned Archie?

Don't confess to this,
not to get Dad off the hook.

It wasn't him.

It had to be.

Siobhan, I'm sorry.

I couldn't let
your father spend the time

he had left in prison.

I just couldn't do that to him.

I had to protect my family.

I didn't mean to kill him.

I was just trying to make
him sick so that he

would miss the conference.

Mom!

No.

I couldn't let
it happen again.

I couldn't go through it
a second time because I know

he wouldn't have survived it.

But Archie wasn't going
to follow through with it.

I talked to him.

He was always going to do it.

We had offended him by putting
his name on that document.

I explained it to him.

No, Siobhan, you argued.

Archie was going to ruin us.

Your father would be in prison.

Our livelihoods,
our homes, the girls'

education, gone, nothing.

Nothing would survive.

Long after your father and I
shuffle off this mortal coil,

you would still be left
picking up the pieces.

It's breaking my heart,
living with what I did.

But I'd do it again.

Sacrifice.

Family before anything else.

Hi.

Back so soon?

It's a courtesy visit.

Mom doesn't know.

I just wanted to say sorry
for all the trouble I've caused

and thank you, Max.

DI Arnold.

You know, in our house,
you are a bit of a legend.

Your mom's one in mine.

When I was your age,
whenever I was heading out,

my dad would say, be good.

And if you can't be
good, don't get caught.

When I heard the second
part, I always thought it was

a license to get away with it.

But that's not what he meant.

He meant be good.

And if you can't be
good, don't be bad.

There won't be a next time.

I'll hold you to that.

If I'd have known, I would
have talked her out of it.

You just concentrate
on getting better.

thanks.

Cheers.

By the way, turns
out you were right.

First time for everything.

What about?
- ABBA.

The winning choice.

Who knew?

I'm surprised you
ever doubted me.

I managed to get some
last-minute tickets

for the hologram thing.

John's daughter
is very excited.

Are you looking
forward to it?

You know what?

I am.

There's no world
in which you get eased

in gently to these things.

Wise words.

Ashley.

She all right?

You know Ashley,
rolling with the punches.

I updated the CPS
on the case,

and they praised
everyone's input.

We work so well together.

Well, you know the saying,
there's no I in team.

There is the way I spell it.
