Steve Douthwaite started seeings a patient.

He complained of stomach aches,HFFFFFF&}

He made six appointmentser in six weeks.

DI Talbot was looking for aer.

He was also looking for a pattern.

We think before he got unwellthing important.

Talbot links Steve Douthwaite.

Joanna Hammond was married but with Douthwaite.

She died by ingestingial weedkiller.

It was ruled a suicide, were bruises found

on her face and neck.

Someone could have knocked her outer throat.

Hold up. She had visible bruiseswed it up?

Her husband used to beat her up.

There were older bruiseser body.

They must have assumed it was

Different times.This is the last victim,

the one Talbot refers to W.

A year after Margot disappeared, changed his name

to Steve Jacks and went to workiday camp.

He start going out with Juliey before she was found

drowned in the camp pool,ed.

The third death linked to him.

We could do with your helpm.

After Julie Wilkes dies,hes.

I feel like I've read the entireor him.

Changed his name to Steve Jacks.anged it again.

Well, there's no compulsoryr name changes.

The staff at the practice thinkargot

a box of chocolates.

And we believethis is the empty box.

We know the cleaner emptied the bin1c&HFFFFFF&}

searched her office.

So we know Margot didn't throwthough it was empty.

Now, Gloria Conti remembers seeingMargot's desk

less than an hour beforet.

Did she think they were drugged?

Something odd about them.

Thing is, if you're drugginghow do you dose them?

How do you know how many she's goingoing to take

them home or give them away?

I don't see how you can planny variables

if the timing matters.e timing did matter.

We know that, because she walked out that pub.

We also believe the witness who saw is credible.

Even if she didn't eatocolates, Douthwaite could

have waited and attacked her.

Used something to subdue her.

Do you want us to take a look1c&HFFFFFF&}

Yeah, that would be greatd.

Our prints are all over it. Sorry.

We're going to talkthe practice staff.

Douthwaite is seen a home movie

Dr Gupta madeF&}at the Christmas party,

so he's definitely someone's guest.

But any help you can give us...

I'll get a couple of lads on it.

I said Douthwaite washy fucker, didn't I?

I want to ask aboutve Douthwaite.

Steve was a gorgeous man.

He lived in my block.

Always had a joke for you.

I love a man who can make you laugh.

Mind you, he had his problems,e?

When...whatshername died.

Who?&HFF00&} His girlfriend, Joanna...something.

Thing is, she was married.

She killed herselfleft three kids.

And people blamed Steve for it.

How was Steve when Margoted?

I don't think I saw him.

He up and left.

He cleared out.

He didn't even say goodbye.

I thought we were mates.

Any idea where he went?

No.

He liked a drink, though.

And men like that't always last long.

Steve...

He was a bit of a flirt,tell you that much.

Standing by my desk,ing down at my you-know-whats.

Did Steve ever send Margot gifts?

Well, I was there when this boxrrived,

and she just chucked them in the binFFFFFF&}

right in front of us,

as if she's above it all.

Thing is, she's a total hypocrite,

because when she thinks nobody'sFFFF&}

she goes and takes them out again. it.

This is about them chocolates,'t honestly think

he sent them.

And even if he did,t chucked them away.

She took one look at themthem in the bin.

Why would she do that?

Probably showing off she wouldn'tients.

Do you think Steve made so many Margot

because he had a crush on her?

Yeah.

Yeah, I reckon.

I was there the last timeound,

and he'd been in with Margoed out.

Hiya, Steve.

He was in a terrible state.

Probably just been toldt herpes, eh, Jan?

And I thought maybe she'd turned himhad her fun

and then told him to scarper.

I mean, you're not going to turnncy house

for a double-glazing salesman,FFFFFF&}

Anything else I should know?

Well, I don't like to gossip, but...

..I reckon Margotught Carl Oakden was dodgy.

His grandma was Margot's patient,

and she was on bed rest after an op.

And suddenly she's fallen downHFFFFFF&}

He wrote a whole list of singers.

Gary Glitter, Neil Diamond,.

I told him, "You should have goner."

It's got a real ring to it.

HE CHUCKLES

Did he talk about Margot Bamborough?

You're going to need somethingal than that

if you're going to writebook about her.

I'm not writing a book about her.1c&HFFFFFF&}

My book's about you, Cormoran.

Huh!&HFFFF00&} I went to see Janice Beattie to find out how you operate.

Rokeby and Mum were shoutingr

What did you do then?

I went on a diet,

I bought a new dress

and I showed up at Baxton's,

and I saw him kissing some girl.

She was the only one I donegs.

She was drunk.

All I had to do was hold her underFFFFFF&}

The same way Margot worked it out.

I imagine she noticed things

The Imotil capsule in Dr Brenner'sd on Gloria.

People around youlways getting sick.

You've been poisoning Irenecentury, haven't you?

Well...

..she can be annoying.

Why did you start poisoningwaite?

I only wanted0&}to keep him feeling

like he didn't want to go out.

I liked looking after him.

Then he made a doctor's appointment.

The first of many.

It's cramping.

Margot thought it was stress.

But then he told herabout his problems.

About Joanna Hammond dyingking poison.

At some point, she must have startedclosely.

Hoity-toity bitch, she was.

Sticking her nose in.

You fooled everyone.

But not Margot.

Margot was a good doctor.

She noticed things.

Come on, then.

So does it happener you eat certain foods?

She nearly lost her job examiningr consent.

Why would she do that?

Why wouldn't she want youom?

It gets bad after I have my drinks.

What drinks are these?

The drinks that Mum makes.

When did you decidekill your child?

Kev had a tantrumhen Steve came over.

KEVIN WHINES

I could tell Steve didn't like that.

He took off. So I thought...

..Kev needs to go.

Kids don't just drop dead, though.

They don't drink weedkiller,Hammond.

You've got to be gradualid.

It took too long, though, didn't it?

Steve Douthwaite was out of thereed the job.

Was that what saved Kevin's life?

Well, there didn't seem any pointter that.

I spoke to Kevin this morning.

You never.

He's going to testify.

How did you find out about Margot?

The box of chocolates.

You told me Margotrew them in the bin.

Can you grab me my doughnutge?

I can open these for you,ke.

Leave those alone, please.

But Gloria Conti saw themsk

during her final appointment.

It was Irene who saw Margotocolates

out of the bin in reception.

Of course,FFFF&}she told you about that. Mm.

Irene thought Margot did it was looking

because Margot was a hypocrite.tter.

You knew she suspectedocolates were poisoned

and didn't want any of the staff.

When Irene shared what she saw,

you knew Margot suspected you.

You knew you were on the clock.

Someone sent me a box of chocolatesFFFFFF&}

I only had one.

Threw it up later.

How many would it have taken\1c&HFFFFFF&}

Four or five.

If she didn't eat the chocolates,her?

The doughnut.

Margot sent Irene out to get herher going.

I'm guessing you knew Margoto to the pub.

She'd probably eat itbefore leaving.

I injected it withmbutal sodium solution.

She took her time.

I started worryingat I'd got the dose wrong.

Need some help, dear?

No, I'm fine.

She made a bit of a fuss,dn't last long.

No...
