I haven't got good news, I'm afraid.

'Several new witness statements have implicated you.'

'Why did he shoot him?'

'Because he was in love with him.

'You've been an amazing friend, Martin.

'We've told each other everything. All our deepest, darkest secrets.'

SCREAMING, SHOUTING

Ben can't be behind the wheel. We have to consider Katherine.

To lose a child at the hands of another, it would kill her.

This morning, I let the chairman of the 1922 Committee know

of my resignation as leader of the Conservative Party.

He creeps, Jarvis, doesn't he? What are we gonna do, Martin?

Are we just gonna leave it? Are you saying there's a move left?

I mean, I can think of one.

Things must be bad between you and Jarvis.

'You can't even look at him. Did something happen?

'Is there something I should know?'

Why? Is there a bonus in it for you?

'Lucy won't talk.'

'We might have to lean into the situation, with Amina.

'Perhaps you could give her something.'

I've got nothing left to give. You didn't kill Phoebe.

Ben Fitzmaurice killed his own sister.

I think that changes everything. Yeah.

That changes everything.

ALL CHEER

'Take On Me' by A-ha

Hey. Sorry about the wait. There was a queue.

How are you doing?

I'm OK. I'm sorry.

How long have you been working on it?

Depends. Two years-ish.

As soon as Labour changed the privacy laws

for offshore holdings companies, you must have known.

When will it run?

Now he's announced his candidacy, it's likely to be fast-tracked.

Two days, I reckon.

We'll give you tomorrow to make statements.

We'll send you the piece. It's all standard protocol.

It'll destroy Katherine. She'll grieve all over again.

She has plenty of resources to be absolutely fine.

That's what you lot think, isn't it?

Not flesh and bone, just one heaving, rotten mass of "rich".

Not exactly.

I'm sure they suffer.

They just don't suffer in the same way,

and their lives don't unravel in the same way.

They have nets to catch them.

I don't think they ever truly fall. She'll never forgive him.

What about your mother, Martin? What about her?

You seem very concerned about Ben Fitzmaurice's family,

but what about your own mum?

Won't she be, I don't know, shocked, relieved, have questions?

Have you even thought about her in all of this?

HE SIGHS Well done. No.

It's a good show.

Great show. It's not like that.

It's not a gotcha.

Isn't it? No.

Then what is it? It's the truth... Martin.

THEY LAUGH More wine, my love?

No, no. Anyway, it totally grossed me out.

No, good on them, I think.

Mm? Go on, son!

Sorry, doesn't it give you the ick, hearing your parents at it?

Come on, that gives you the ick. No, not at all.

I think it's... I think it's a good sign.

It shows that there's life in the old dog. Ugh!

You know, Phoebe, she used to call my mother the wailing wall.

Did I tell you that? My God!

Fuck, it's gone up my nose. LAUGHTER

Oh, sorry, LS.

SHE LAUGHS Sorry.

Did you ever hear your parents at it?

Er...

Er, no, no.

Oh, my God, I completely forgot. Yeah?

I met a girl who knows you both. Lucy Farni.

Ring any bells? No.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, hold on. Yeah, actually...

I don't remember her. Well, she's funny as hell.

Her hair needs a bit of work, and you've got to see past her clothes,

but I think you two could be perfect for each other.

One drink. Come on.

But have you got...?

How many weddings have you got this summer? What?

Oh, I think we've got about six or seven.

The next one's in New York, so... Thank you.

...yeah, you know how that one will be.

Well, I've never been to New York, so...

Oh! Come on. You've never been? Oh, my God.

We should take her. Let's take her. I'd love to come.

Oh, you should come. Yeah, you should totally come.

Did you book the flight? OK. You said you were booking it.

The thing is, it's gonna be so... So, what do you do?

I work in children's publishing.

Oh. Fairy tales?

Yeah, and stories

and creative programmes and educational programmes.

Do you enjoy it? Yeah.

Why? Why do I enjoy it?

Erm...

I don't know, I think that if you can expand the imagination

of a child, then...

I think, ultimately, you experience more freedom as an adult.

I don't know.

Don't you think we look alike?

I said this to you. Look, come on. Totally.

Twins. Twinning! Absolutely, 100%, yeah.

Not the hair. That's generous.

THEY CHUCKLE

Well, you are way hotter. You are.

Don't look. Don't look. They're both laughing.

Are you looking at my terrible hair?

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you thinking of ways to improve it?

OK. It happens. I bled a little bit with Barnaby.

Yeah? I mean, you bled with Simeon, right, Japes?

Oceans. Could you just get Martin, please?

What kind of pain is it? Shouldn't we call an ambulance?

Let's just keep an eye on her for now.

It'll pass. We're here, Lucy, all right?

We'll take care of you, OK? OK? OK.

OK. It'll pass.

Would you fetch a towel, though? Cos this is... Never mind.

You see, the question is, have you ever seen a teenager

with a picture of a politician on their wall?

I can't say I have, actually. That's the point.

It's not cool to be a politician.

I mean, we've had a bad rap for so long -

liars, cheats, what have you - but at the end of the day,

all any of us is trying to do is to make the world a teeny bit better.

That's very considerate of you.

In ancient times,

the Greeks were politicians and poets and playwrights.

They were creative artists. Hugely respected.

Well, lovely stuff.

Sadly, this doesn't help us with our attempted murder investigation,

Mr Conrad, which you tell us you have some insight on.

I do.

I don't want to be throwing anyone under the bus.

I don't want this to look like

I'm just trying to score political points.

Martin Gilmour is under arrest

for a very serious offence, Mr Conrad.

Anything you share is simply in the name of justice being served.

Well, look, all I know is that he was being paid...

...by the Fitzmaurices.

A considerable amount.

I think Ben was cleaning up his house

now the leadership position has come under contest.

And are you saying these payments were somehow connected

to Martin Gilmour getting violent with Ben Fitzmaurice?

Honestly, I don't want to be pointing the finger.

No, but if you were to point the finger,

the finger would be pointed at Mr Gilmour?

Perhaps the finger would. Yeah.

Perhaps the finger would.

Your medication.

Thank you.

Right, OK, Martin,

we've been in touch with the Crown Prosecution Service,

and the decision has been made.

We are gonna charge you.

OK?

MUFFLED VOICES AND MUSIC

Yeah!

How long are we gonna stay here? You said we'd go to a strip club.

What? You said we'd go to a strip club!

I didn't organise it. Ben did. Hello, mate!

We thought we'd be going to a strip club,

not some gay dancing place.

Ooh.

Right, OK. I'm sorry. THEY LAUGH

Dafydd saved up three weeks wages for this stag.

We promised him he'd get his end away.

He's had a dry spell. What? How dry?

Five years, and we promised him a shag if he'd come to Spain.

Five years? Five years?

OK, well, we found Martin a wife.

I'm sure we can find a shag for Dafydd.

Leave it with me.

What's he saying? I don't know.

Does he know them? No.

Do you think one of them will shag Dafydd?

Martin, do you think one of them will shag...?

I don't know, Gareth! I don't know. I don't know.

Are you having a good time? Oh, my God, yeah, of course.

Promise? Promise.

I didn't really know what was gonna be your... your thing.

You are a very hard man to plan a stag for.

You know that, right? Ben, you smashed it out of the park.

Yeah? Fuck yeah.

Did I? Yeah. OK.

Wahey! Dafydd!

about Phoebe's accident.

She's fast-tracking it because of your sudden announcement.

She has a key witness

and all the evidence from your family's holding company.

She knows you were driving the car,

and she knows about the financial arrangement.

She's gonna send us the proof, and we have two days to make statements.

What do we do, then? Hm?

Martin...

...what do we do?

You're gonna tell your mother how Phoebe died.

You're gonna tell her before she reads it in the papers.

You have to.

You owe it to her.

See, I told you things would calm down.

Motherhood, Lucy. Ups and downs, peaks and troughs.

Oh, God, yeah. We're all like that with baby number one, aren't we?

Baby number four, you don't give a shit.

You did have me scared, though. Silly-billy.

Sorry. Getting all upset.

Sorry for interrupting your party. Oh, God, don't worry.

She's in her seventies. Ben!

We're worried her waters have broken. OK, I'll drive.

Whoa, best leave it to the women, eh, mate? This is girls' stuff.

I'm going. Let them take her in.

She needs you, Martin. I need you, Martin.

Don't run away.

Take your hands off me.

Best leaving her here with the women, mate,

Nobody tells you how poor politics makes you, even at the top.

Went as hard as I could on migrants, hard as I could on taxes,

but anything short of out-and-out fascist these days

Good luck if you want to try it, but they are coming for us.

They're coming for this country whether we like it or not.

Well, it's very noble of you to step down.

You put the party first. Not everyone does that.

No man does that.

You're so clever. You're so clever, Elinor. Just...

I'll cut to it.

I hate to be the bearer on your big day,

but we can't support your bid.

It's not about timing. You just don't have the support.

The country wants something else. They want someone else.

They don't feel you represent their interests.

They want someone working class, a proper grafter,

someone comfortable to say the uncomfortable truths.

That was basically an endorsement.

Yeah. It's something to think about.

You said Elinor was a fan. You said she'd do anything for you.

She was. She is. She is a fan. Ha!

She is. She'll come around. "Stick with me," you said.

Yeah. Never mind that I had the scholarship.

You know, never mind that I got the starred first.

Never mind that I had the fucking brains and the work ethic
