[theme music]

Thank you. Bye.

SOCO reckon he's
been dead about a month.

We'll have to wait for the
post mortem to confirm

cause of death but it looks like
he's been hit over the head.

If this is the victim's
passport,

his name's Peter Hodges.

According to the system
he was reported missing.

Four weeks ago.

-Who by?
-His wife.

-You got an address?
-Home and work.

She's a university professor.

Okay. Let's do the death knock.

Doesn't the Sarge want
to take a look at this?

She's happy for
us to get on with it.

The Sarge has got other
priorities this morning.

[suspenseful music]

This is our suitcase.

These are my
husband's possessions.

We've only been married a year.

We're very sorry for your loss.

We're gonna need your assistance
with a forensic sample

for a comparison.
Something belonging to Peter.

Of course.

Did Peter take his phone
the morning he went missing?

It's not been recovered as yet.

The Missing Persons
team asked me to look,

but I couldn't find it.

We understand the MISPER
case has been downgraded.

Yes, one of the neighbours
saw my husband leaving.

He had a suitcase with him.

The detectives decided it proved

his disappearance
wasn't suspicious.

I'd say they were wrong,
wouldn't you?

[instrumental music]

The neighbour who
saw Peter leaving?

-Mrs. McCarthy?
-Yeah. Which side is she?

Right. Number 17.

What do you need?

His comb, a pair of
glasses, his pillow case.

I might as well tell you.

We were sleeping
in separate rooms.

Poor guy.
I can't believe he was murdered.

Sorry.

[sobs]
It's the shock.

You gave a statement to
the Missing Persons team

that you saw him
leaving the house on

Friday the 17th of last month.

What time was that?

It was about 8.30 am.

That's when my husband rings.

He works away a
lot in Manchester

phones before his first meeting.

I was standing here,
clearing up after the kids.

I saw Mr. Hodges
leave the house.

-With a suitcase?
-Yes.

What happened next?

My husband rang.
My phone was in the kitchen.

By the time I came back in here
Mr. Hodges was gone.

You didn't see where
he went from there.

No. Like I said, he was gone.

The separate rooms,
do you mind if I ask?

Umm...

Before I met Peter he was
always in debt, serious debt.

When we got married, he asked me
to take charge of the money

so he couldn't fritter it away.

He even arranged to have
his salary paid into my account.

How did that work?

I gave him a basic allowance
in cash

just enough to cover
his day to day expenses

and it worked well for a while.

-But...
-But what?

[sighs]

We still loved each other

but Peter was growing
increasingly resentful.

He told me he didn't
feel like a man anymore.

[suspenseful music]

I've been going through
Peter Hodges' financials.

He had a savings
account of his own.

Two days before he disappeared,
he paid in 5000 pounds in cash.

Interesting.

I also went through
the receipts in his wallet

and I found one for
a cafe next door to the bank.

Two coffees, two sandwiches,

20 minutes after
he deposited the 5K.

So, he wasn't alone

I requested the bank CCTV.
I'll send it to you now.

That is Charlie Hill,
Peter's older brother.

He's a car dealer.

Hill?

Peter took my surname
when we married.

He was keen
to make a clean break,

especially from his brother.

They didn't get on?

Charlie didn't approve
of our relationship.

He described
Peter as my lap dog.

And you had no idea Peter was
in contact with Charlie again?

As far as I knew, Peter had cut
him out of his life for good.

But then, Charlie always
was the arch manipulator.

How come we're out
and about and the Sarge

is in the office doing
all the grunt work?

They were sleeping
in separate bedrooms.

-Some people do.
-That's not a marriage.

What's up with you lately?

I haven't seen my
wife for days, or my kids.

[suspenseful music]

How much longer have
I got to be stuck in this dump?

It's been a long night.

It was the best we
could do at such short notice.

If you would
just give us a name,

none of this would be necessary.

Guarantee my safety, and I will.

You're protecting a murderer,

a serving police officer
who has killed three people.

That is why I need
to be absolutely sure

that you are gonna keep me safe
before I tell anyone anything.

What about your duty?

The oath you swore.

You swore you'd stay
with me till death us do part.

What happened to that?

Is he gonna come through,
tell us what we need to know?

Your guess is as good as mine.

[sighs]
You shouldn't be out and about.

I want you to go straight
to the office and stay there.

[sighs]

She just walked out on me,
you know.

Didn't even leave a note.

I got home.

Vivienne had packed up her stuff
and gone.

[suspenseful music]

-Mr. Hill?
-Who's asking?

Detective Constable
Billie Fitzgerald.

This is Detective
Constable Rob Brady.

What's this about?

Your brother, Peter Hodges.

Has he turned up?

I'm very sorry to tell you,

Peter was found dead.

Dead?

Has, has there been an accident?

No, the circumstances
are being treated as suspicious.

What does that mean?

Mr. Hill, we're investigating
your brother's murder.

Ta.

You told the Missing Persons
team that

you haven't seen your
brother in months.

[Rob]Is that accurate?

Yeah.

Then before I ask you
that question again,

I need you to take
a look at some CCTV.

This was just
over four weeks ago.

[sighs]

Pete didn't want Cassidy
to know we were meeting.

How come?

Because she's controlling,
suffocating.

[Charlie]She treated
him like a child.

He had to ask her for every
penny, permission to breathe.

Why were you in a bank together
two days before he disappeared?

I lent him some cash.

Why?

An escape fund.

Well, how do
you explain the fact that

the money's still
in Peter's account?

He never touched it.

What?

No, I, I just
assumed that when he disappeared

he'd used it to get
away from that witch.

So, your brother didn't
contact you after he left?

No.

Are you sure?

Do I need to remind you
this is a murder investigation?

I swear I've never
heard from Pete again.

This is Peter
Hodges, 33 years old.

He worked in maintenance at
Royal Ashford University for the

last eight years, which is
where he met his wife, Cassidy.

[Rob]She's a doctor,
neuroscience.

Proper high flyer, written
books and everything.

They sound very
chalk and cheese.

They are. Our victim
has a history of getting

himself into serious
financial trouble.

According to Cassidy,
when they got married,

Peter asked her to
take care of their finances,

keep him out of any temptation.

That's not how
his brother sees it.

He reckons Peter was
the victim of coercive control.

You should meet Cassidy Hodges,
Sarge, see what you make of her.

Okay. Set it up.

Sarge! I've been talking to Rob

or, rather, he's been talking
to me.

About?

The fact that
he had to send his family away

because
they were threatened.

What else did he say?

Only that I should speak to you.

Is Vivienne seeing anyone?

The Detective Sergeant
is a very private person.

What about you and her?

[scoffs]

I'm not gonna dignify
that with an answer.

Turn you down, did she?

Get a life!

You have no
idea of the pressure.

You're a disgrace.

I am still your senior officer.

So, what are
you gonna do, report me?

[sighs]

So, the Chief Super has
been covering for a murderer?

This guy killed Tyler Bates,
Grace Harper and Harry Steadman.

But Tyler Bates
was a police officer.

We think the killer is too.

So the minute I met
Mulgrew I didn't like him.

Something really
creepy about him.

[cell phone beeps]

I need to respond to this.

Billie,

not a word to anybody.

Yeah, of course.

-This is my Detective Sergeant.
-Vivienne Cole.

I take it you spoke
to Peter's brother.

We did.

Let me guess,

according to Charlie Hill
I'm a control freak, a monster.

He's said to my
face often enough.

Why do you think Peter was back

in contact with
his brother again?

[scoffs]

To have a good time,
spend money, be carefree.

My husband was
addicted to spending.

He knew that he had
to go cold turkey to

have any chance of
conquering that addiction.

So, you took
charge of the finances.

Tell me, Sergeant,
are you married?

I was.

Then it won't be foreign to you
that in a trusting relationship

what's mine is
yours is quite normal.

Were you aware that
Peter had a savings account?

No, I was not.

Was there any money in it?

5000 pounds.

According to Charlie,
it was his running away fund.

But the odd thing is that

he never got round
to spending any of it.

All that means...

All that means it that he was
killed

before
he could withdraw it.

[suspenseful music]

The press reporting
of Peter Hodge's murder

has paid dividends.

A local journalist
received an anonymous

tip off about the
morning he disappeared.

The caller saw a car hanging
around outside

the Hodges' house.

The description they
gave of the car is of interest,

an orange Subaru Impreza,
rear spoiler.

Sounds like the car Charlie Hill
was working on this morning, eh?

Yeah, the one he was so keen
to cover up when we arrived.

Yeah, so maybe Dr. Hodges
was right about Charlie Hill.

[music continues]

Officers...

You got any news?

Where's the car you
were working on this morning,

the souped-up Subaru?

So, the owner
came to collect it.

Can we get their
name and address?

Yeah. Be in the office.

[dramatic music]

Oy!

[Rob]Open the door!
Open the door!

[dramatic music]

Control, Detective
Constable Fitzgerald.

All units be on the look out
for an orange Subaru Impreza,

no call index.

Driver is wanted in connection
with the murder of Peter Hodges.

Come on!

Don't do this to me!

That's the car.

So much for a
customer collecting it.

-He's locked it.
-Of course he has.

Yeah, it's DC Brady.

[police] It's open now.

Number plates are false.

Surprise, surprise.

St. Christopher.

Wasn't our murder victim wearing
one of these in their photo?

Looks like a match to me.

Yeah.

[instrumental music]

According to
Cassidy Hodges, Peter

never took off
the St. Christopher.

So, it was definitely his?

I reckon so, but
the lab will confirm it.

So, dead or alive,
Peter Hodges was in

the stolen car that
his brother's driving?

At some point.

[cellphone vibrating]

David? What's happening?

What's that for?

I can't imagine what
you've been going through.

One thing I don't
understand, though,

how did Vivienne and David get
the Chief Super to play ball?

The Sarge didn't tell
you absolutely everything, then?

What?

Vivienne and Mulgrew
used to be married.

Rob! We need you
to take over from the

Detective Inspector
at the safe house.

He needs to go to HQ.

I'm on my way.

[phone ringing]

Detective
Constable Fitzgerald...

Thanks for letting me know.

Charlie Hill just
handed himself in.

Apparently, he's worried
we think he killed his brother.

Oh, I wonder why he thinks that.

I didn't kill Pete.

Why did you run, then?

-Panicked.
-Why?

Because of that orange Subaru.

We suspect that it's stolen.

The engine and chassis
numbers have been removed.

Tell us, Charlie,
did you do that?

Yes.

Me and Pete,
we were stealing cars.

When did this start?

A few months back.

Pete needed some
cash to leave Cassidy.

He was always
good with electronics.

He got hold of, like, a scanner.

You point it at the car
and the owner thinks

it's secure when it's
locked, but it isn't.

The thing is, we're not so
concerned

that the car was stolen.

What we care about
is whether your brother, Peter,

was ever inside the Subaru.

No, never.

-Are you sure?
-100%.

Perhaps you'd like
to explain this, then.

It's a St. Christopher's medal.

It's like the one
Cassidy gave to Pete.

It was found in the
boot of the orange Subaru.

No, that's impossible.

Why?

I told you, Pete
was never in that car.

I only nicked
the Subaru last week.

So, you can't explain Peter's

St. Christopher
being in the Subaru?

[Billie]Could someone
have planted it there?

-It's possible, I guess.
-How?

Well, the same way Pete
got into the cars he nicked,

using the scanner.

Charlie's story holds up.

The orange Subaru
was reported stolen

three weeks after
Peter went missing.

So, who planted the evidence?

-How's he been?
-Pain in the neck.

Alright.

[intense music]

I am sorry, you know.

About what?

That he threatened your kids.

I assume they're still safe.

They are.

I'm glad to hear that.

So, what kind of hold
has this guy got over you?

He saved my life, which
meant that I owed him, big time.

Did you know I used to box?

I wasn't half bad.

I could paste
you all over those walls.

Believe me,

nothing would give
me greater satisfaction.

Why don't you, then?

Because I need you to identify
the man that threatened my kids.

And I need him to be locked up,

behind bars...

so that I can hold my
babies in my arms again.

[suspenseful music]

You are kidding me.

What?

Mila McCarthy,
the Hodges' neighbour.

There's no way she
could have seen Peter Hodges

leaving around 8.30
on that Friday morning.

How come?

When I spoke to her
this morning something

wasn't right, so I ran
a check on her financials.

According to
her debit account records,

Mila was putting petrol in
her car at 8:27,

three miles from home.

[knock on door]

[knock on door]

Can we come in?

What's going on?

I'm going to arrest
you for murdering Peter Hodges

and for perverting
the course of justice,

and then these
officers are going to

conduct a search of
your property.

What's going on?

We've made an arrest.

Mrs. McCarthy.
You think she killed Peter?

I can't say much at the moment.

I'll ask the
Detective Sergeant to

give you a ring,
bring you up to speed.

Mila, you gave a statement
saying you saw Peter Hodges

leave home at around 8:30
on the morning he disappeared.

This is a receipt for
petrol paid for

on your debit card at 8:27.

Quite the trick, being
in two places at once.

I dropped my kids off at school,

got some petrol on
the way to the supermarket.

Did you see Peter Hodges
leave the house with a suitcase?

[sobbing]
No.

[suspenseful music]

I looked at Peter Hodges
call data again.

The last time
he used his mobile was

at 9 o'clock on
the Thursday night.

So, he could have
been killed before Friday.

That's what I'm thinking.

This is footage
from a CCTV camera

near the deposition
site, on Thursday,

just before midnight.

I can't get
a clear registration yet,

but I'm sure that's
Mila McCarthy's car.

You know, if Mila is the killer,

then she'd have
had to have planted

the St. Christopher
in Charlie's car.

Using a scanner.
I find that hard to believe.

Yeah, so do I.

Who would be clever
enough and arrogant enough

to think that they could
get away with all of this?

-Cassidy Hodges.
-Exactly.

What were you doing on the
evening of Thursday the 16th?

The night before you
said you saw

Peter leaving with the suitcase.

I was at home with the kids.

-All night?
-Yes.

-You didn't go out.
-No.

And what was your
car doing near Millwall Stadium

at 23:48 that evening?

That is your car, isn't it?

Yes.

Mila,
did you kill Peter Hodges?

[sobbing]
No.

Then who did?

-I can't tell you.
-[Sarge]Why?

I just can't.

-Right, she's coming in.
-Who is?

The victim's wife,
Cassidy Hodges.

I told her I want to
update her on

the progress
of the investigation.

And what are you really up to?

We think she killed her husband.

We just have to prove it.

-How's it going?
-Good.

The Deputy Assistant
Commissioner will be here soon.

Rob's bringing Mulgrew
in to speak to her.

We have a deal?

Yes. I think we do.

He doesn't deserve
to be protected.

After what he's done,
he should be going to prison.

[suspenseful music]

We have reason to believe

that your husband was
killed on the Thursday night,

which means we need to
recalibrate

our investigation timeline.

Can you tell me where
you were that evening?

[scoffs]
As I told you, I was out

to dinner with friends.

Uh, Italian restaurant
on Upper Street.

What time did you get home?

Late, very late.

-I walked all the way.
-From Upper Street?

Yes. I'd been drinking,
wanted to clear my head.

I left the restaurant
about half-eleven,

so I can't have got home until

nearly one o'clock
in the morning.

When you got home, did you
see your husband, speak to him?

No, I assumed
he was fast asleep.

In his own room?

That's right.

One more thing,

where were you between 10:00
and 11 o'clock this morning?

At home,

coming to terms with
my husband being murdered.

Thank you. That's very helpful.

Cassidy Hodges told
us she was out for dinner

with friends the night
her husband was killed.

The dinner checks out,

but she paid for her
meal earlier than she told us.

If she caught a taxi
rather than walked.

She could have been
home in 20 minutes.

So, she had plenty
of time to get home,

kill her husband and
dispose of his body.

-When was the body dumped?
-Just before midnight.

CCTV shows Mila's car
in the area.

I've requested urgent
call data for Cassidy's phone.

She told us she was
home this morning.

Grieving.

But cell site puts her
very close to Charlie's garage.

And what was she up to?

She was planting her
husband's St. Christopher

in the car that she
took to be Charlie's.

Alright, that's more
than enough for me.

Arrest her and search
her home address.

-Thank you for waiting.
-I've had enough.

-You can call a taxi for me.
-Circumstances have changed.

What do you mean
circumstances have changed?

Cassidy Hodges, I'm
arresting you on suspicion

of the murder of your
husband, Peter Hodges

I came in here voluntarily.

You do not have to say anything,
but may harm your defence

if you do not mention
when questioned,

something which you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say, may be
given in evidence.

Do you understand?

I just need to
swing by my office,

pick up a couple
of personal items.

It won't take a moment.

Make it quick.

Mila, I'm Detective
Inspector David Bradford.

I'm here to tell you that
we've arrested Cassidy Hodges

on suspicion
of murdering her husband.

Why don't you tell
us what really happened, Mila?

[sobs]

Cassidy bashed Pete's head in.

Go on.

Cassidy came home early,

found us in bed together.

You were having an affair?

We slept together a few times.

We were both lonely.

That night,
we were saying goodbye.

He had enough
money to leave her.

What happened when Cassidy found
you together?

She went crazy,

shouting and screaming at Pete.

He tried to lock
himself in the bathroom,

but she was so strong.

He didn't stand a chance.

Did you see Cassidy kill Peter?

No.

I heard a terrible noise,

then it all went quiet.

By the time I got to
the bathroom door...

he was on the floor.

There was so much blood.

Did you see what
Cassidy hit Peter with?

No. Not really.

It was in her hand.

Something shiny.

What happened next?

Cassidy said
it was all my fault.

She threatened to tell
my husband what I'd been up to.

I couldn't let her do that.

And then?

Cassidy can't drive.

She made me drive my car,
so she could dump Pete's body.

It was horrible.

[intense music]

[police]Oh, in here,
Detective! If you don't mind.

What have you found?

This is a joke.

When did you
last see Charlie Hill?

I told you,

over a year ago, at
our engagement party.

He didn't call round today?

Of course not.

Cell site data
for your phone shows you

close to Charlie Hill's
garage this morning.

You were there
from 10:26 until 10:31.

Plenty of time to plant
evidence in a car.

You might be interested to know
your trip was a waste of time.

Charlie didn't
steal the car until

three weeks
after Peter was killed,

when Peter's body
had already been dumped.

When did you leave
the restaurant, the night

before you reported
your husband missing?

It was well
after 11:00, closer to 12:00.

And yet you paid the
bill not long after ten o'clock.

I... hung around,
chatted to staff,

had another drink.

Mila McCarthy told us what
really happened

that Thursday night.

Did she tell you
she killed Peter?

They'd been having an affair.

He told her he was
leaving, and she killed him.

Really?

And you've been covering
for her all this time?

Why would you do that?

We're searching your house.

The forensic
team have found blood

and tissue matter in
your bathroom.

We're assuming both
belong to your husband,

but the lab will confirm that.

[Billie]We also found
fragments of glass,

consistent with someone breaking
a mirror with great force.

Can you show me
your hands, Dr. Hodges?

I can see healing
cuts on your hands.

How did you get those?

I hit him with the mirror.

So, you admit
that you killed Peter.

Yes.

Was Mila McCarthy involved?

No.

Whose idea was it to
say that she saw Peter leaving?

Mine.

It worked. Until your
husband's body was found.

By the way, when
did you find the scanner?

A couple of weeks after.

Once I'd worked
out what it was for,

I realized that is how
Peter was stealing cars,

after everything
I had done to get

him on the straight and narrow.

Not such a trusting
relationship after all.

Charlie Hill did his
best to destroy my marriage,

and as for Mila McCarthy,

having sex with my
husband in my house.

You blackmailed her,

and you made her move
your husband's body with you.

Will she be charged
as an accessory?

The Crown
Prosecution Service has

authorized charges against her.

Then today hasn't been all bad.

[grunts]

Boss...

[breathing heavily]

we got a problem.

You were right
about coercive control.

-Good instincts.
-Thanks.

-Rob said something earlier.
-What?

He said you were
married to the Chief Super.

What about it?

You told me you didn't
even know Mr. Mulgrew.

Sorry about that. I was lying.

We've just charged
Cassidy Hodges with murder.

-What's happened?
-Chief Superintendent Mulgrew.

I'm sorry, he gave me the slip.

He cracked Rob with a golf club.

Are you alright?

I'm fine, just
feel a bit stupid.

There he is.

He clearly changed
his mind about giving evidence.

Where would he go,
Vivienne? Out of the country?

Possibly.

He'd need his passport.
Would he risk going home?

When we were married, he hid
things in his locker at the gym.

Harrowfield Gym.

Same one I got to.
I've seen him in there.

-Billie, you're with me.
-Yeah.

Rob, line up urgent
cell site for Mulgrew.

[Rob]On it.

How could he be so reckless?

I want you to stay here.

That is an order, Sergeant.

[intense music]

[receptionist]Can I help you?

Police. We need
access to the men's

changing area and
one of the lockers.

Down there.

[cellphone vibrating]

Where are you?

Don't panic, I'm on my way.

His locker's empty.
We've missed him.

Vivienne, you were
right. Mulgrew came here,

but we don't know
where he is now.

He's here.

He's with me.

He's dead.

[theme music]
