The only thing that was missing
was a murder weapon

and she had to get rid of that
cos it was incriminating her.

I'll give you the interview.
I want you to find who killed my husband.

I took care of the tapes.

She's holding our footage hostage.

In your earlier career,
you made yourself extremely unpopular.

There was a missing girl.

I contaminated evidence
that would have had him convicted of murder.

No copper is gonna talk to me.

I know who killed him. My brother.

Oliver's dead! Out!
- Can we find out who the birth parents are?

Adoption services don't share records.
- What about your mate?

: You established, the person
who killed my husband is in Hungary.

Is she saying that Oliver killed her husband?

He wanted to control every move I made.

:
I think she did.

You're sleeping with her?

Where is that coming from?

You're fired.

Whatever she's told you, it will be lies.

:
He has a daughter. Leila.

They're my family, too.

You're not having them.

She did it.

I watched her do it.

: They were going to kill him
if they didn't get their money.

George just laughed.

I don't even remember doing it.

What is it?

:
I can't.

What?

:
Let him go.

No.

:
I can't do it.

I don't care about me anymore.
- : I care.

He won't stop.
- : Please.

Did you hear me?

On your knees.

Come on.

You're a lucky man.

I wanna say, "Go home".

"Forget about everything, live your life."

Hmm?

No, you won't.

The charming English phrase
"dog with a bone" comes to mind.

Stay.

:
Hey!

Hey! Hey!

:
No! Stop!

:
Cut!

:

: She's called Molnar... Mrs Molnar.
That's all... I don't have her first name.

And she... she said she's her lawyer,
but I don't know.

Maybe that's a fucking lie.

:

:
Do you understand me?

Yes.

Yes, we understand.

Because I'm... I'm talking about a homicide.

Natalie Varga? O... Oliver Sewell?

I... I have a picture of Oliver.

He's the brother
who's officially dead, but...

Wait.

They... They deleted my photographs. Um...

Wait. Uh...

OK. Vera Dorati.

She's an artist.
She's been helping them. She's...

Finished now? Or...

I told you...

you're out.

For what?

Going after the story?

Look, I need you to get me to DI Khan.

The police aren't taking my calls.
- It's done.

I completed the documentary.

Case closed.

Natalie killed her husband.
- I don't want to hear about Natalie Varga.

Let's talk about Lucy Gallagher.

What has Lucy--

You didn't only fuck up your career
over what you did

you fucked up your life

because you became obsessed.

Can't you see you're doing the same thing?

Take a step back.

Think about whether
that's a person you wanna be.

Do what I'm doing.

Walk away.

I've got nothing to say to you.
- I met your son, Mary.

I told you, Oliver's dead.

:
Enough!

I followed your piece of shit son to Hungary

and ended up with a gun against my head.

Is Oli alright?

You're so worried about your son
and his family, let's...

let's talk about your other little psycho.

Does she know about my granddaughter?

He wasn't just running from those thugs,
he was running from her!

Why?

When she was just a kid...
I thought I could fix her

but whatever it was she's been through

she doesn't care now who she hurts.

What was it that happened with her family
before you got her?

I don't know.
They don't tell you everything. They...

They just say, "Oh, the twins were troubled."

Christ! What an understatement.
- We're gonna go to the police.

You're gonna back me up. Oliver saw it.

He'll testify!

He won't.

Not now she's got him back.

And now she's got Leila.

Help me put her away.

You?

How's that going so far?

What the fuck

can you possibly have to say to me?

:
The police are going to arrest me.

I want to talk to you first.

Let's finish the interview. I'm alone.

Oh, sure, sure. I'll come right over.

: I saved your life twice.
Why would I hurt you now?

Because you're going to prison.

:
I'm going to prison because I let you go.

Take the story. You deserve it.

James, you can go back to working on trash,
or you can tell my story.

It'll make your career.

Fuck you.

:
I want to tell you about my father.

Fuck.

Fuck!

:
Hello?

Hello?

:
Oh, my God.

What have you done?

Help!

:
Help!

Wait, just...

:
Help!

: Hey, wait! Come back!
- Someone, help me!

Please, don't hurt me! Please!

She's not here!

What the fuck?
- She doesn't want to see you! Don't hurt me!

Please, don't hurt me! Please!

Somebody call the police! Please!

Mr Alden?

Detective Inspector Broughton.

Can you open the door, please?

:
Yeah?

This is DS Feehan.

Sorry, what do you want?

I'm arresting you on suspicion of harassment,
and putting someone in fear of violence.

Harassment?
- You do not have to say anything.

But it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you say may be given--
- I don't understand.

You're under arrest, Mr Alden.

Just explain it to me again.
- These officers will be searching your flat.

Who has accused me of harassment?
- Take him away.

Who has accused me?

Get me that. All of it, please.

: All those cards, please.

:
Thank you for your statement.

Let's review.

According to Mrs Varga's statement,
in a bid to get away from you

fearing for her safety,
she went to Hungary, and you followed.

Well, she wasn't in fear, and I went first.

According to this passenger manifest

Mrs Varga flew out at 9am the same day.

For the purposes of the tape,
Mr Alden is examining the passenger manifest.

Well, I didn't know
that she was already there.

What did you plan to do
when you tracked her down?

No, I went to find her brother.

Who died four years ago.

He didn't.

He faked it. She wanted me to find him.

She said that he killed George

which I thought was crazy

until I met his wife and his kid,
and then I saw him in Hungary.

Look, you need to find the wife,
Shona Strand.

He's... He's calling himself
Elliot Strand now.

And you need to find Mary Sewell,
that's the adoptive mother.

She helped him fake his own death.
She identified the wrong body.

Whose body?

I don't know.

Maybe that's something you can find out.

According to Mrs Varga's statement,
you tracked her down

you verbally threatened her.

No, I was tied to a chair.
She found me. She had a knife.

Mrs Varga tied you to a chair?

No, that was Dominik, the one they shot.

: Yeah, we contacted
the Budapest Police 19th District.

They have no reports
of any shootings or any body.

Mr Alden...

who's "they"?

Their lawyer, Mrs Molnar.

I saw her shoot him, point blank.
Why would I make this stuff up?

The same Mrs Molnar you assaulted last night?

:
I barely touched her.

She threw herself to the ground
for the photographer.

I mean, they called the pap.
They staged the whole thing!

Is your aggression directed mainly
towards women, would you say?

Officer, that's a very unhelpful comment
to make and entirely unnecessary.

My client is trying to assist you.

I am here voluntarily.

Could we recognise that, please,
for the purposes of the tape?

It will be fully recorded that you are
attending this interview voluntarily

and helping as best you can.

You were seen loitering
around Shona Strand's home

on the evening of 12th August.
- I was looking for her brother.

And you were recorded on CCTV
breaking into Vera Dorati's studio.

She is a blackmailer.
She tried to have me killed.

She gave Natalie a false alibi,
probably for money.

I was just trying to find out.

I'm not on some general mission
to terrorise women, least of all Natalie.

How do you see your relationship
with Mrs Varga?

It was...

professional.

You know, she offered me an opportunity
to interview her, to get a good story.

And then she made me feel
like we had a connection.

You're calling it "a connection"?

Fine, we slept together, fully consensual.

Tell me she's not saying that I forced her.
- James, let the officer ask her questions.

I'm sure she'll happily tell us
what Mrs Varga is saying.

Officer?

You got into Mrs Varga's home
through your position as a journalist.

She invited me.

You gained her trust
by offering to help with her criminal case.

No, she was asking me to investigate.

Does "Who remembers Spangles?"
require much investigation?

As I understand it, you haven't engaged in
that kind of journalism for some time, years.

Well, have you or not?

No.
- So when you approached Mrs Varga

offering to help with her case

you were in fact posing
as an investigative reporter?

It... it wasn't like that.

When did you first become aware
of Natalie Sewell

or Natalie Varga, as she became?

About two months ago,
the same time as everybody else.

So you're saying you never met her
or been aware of her before that point?

No.

I don't read Tatler or go to charity auctions

or Elton John's house,
or wherever it is people like her hang out.

When we arrested you

you were viewing covert video recordings

of Mrs Varga.

Footage of her in her bathroom.

I did not make those tapes.

For the purposes of the recordings

DS Feehan is showing Mr Alden
the memory card seized from his flat.

They say "Natalie Varga interview."

I thought they were ours.
That's the only reason I took them.

When you broke into her home?
- No, she invited me. She...

She told me she was gonna confess.

These recordings date back ten months.

So, when you say you met Natalie
a couple of weeks ago...

Why would I record her?

I don't know, Mr Alden.

Why would you forensically
pick over a woman's private life...

drooling over every intimate detail?

Well, that's the voluntary part
of this interview over.

:
Let's wrap this up, please.

Yeah, you will be released on bail
whilst we present our evidence to the CPS.

Your conditions require you
to remain in the country.

Any attempt to contact or approach Mrs Varga
will result in you being rearrested

and held in custody
until a date is set for your hearing.

Terminating the interview.

Should I take it personally
you never stalked me?

Too soon?

I considered bringing you something stronger.

Gin?
- Cyanide.

I'm sorry.

I guess neither of us
are very good at walking away.

She was gonna confess.

I'll write a statement.

I hired you to make a documentary

the invitation for the interview
came from Molnar.

We both tracked down Shona.

You had a mark on your neck
from when you were attacked.

Yeah, but you didn't see it happen.

You didn't see anything in Hungary.

You're my ex-girlfriend for fuck's sake.
They'll discredit you.

Why is she doing all of this?

She said she needed
to tell me something, some...

sob story about her dad.

Did your mate ever get back to you

about the birth parents?

No.

Let your legal team handle this.

I'll help.

Do not go after her. You will make it worse.

And I'm not bailing you out again.

Understood?

Ugh... You didn't get sugar.

You're such a dick.

And...

My old phone, till you get yours back.

And we need to find you a decent lawyer.

Maybe Miss Molnar's free.

Yeah, no, the thing is, Kemi, um...

she's actually gone in
for a bit of an operation.

No, no, nothing serious. Nothing serious.

Um, I'm just following up.

You... you emailed her?

I know who you are.

When I saw you outside my house

making your little documentary about me

you seemed fine.

I mean, a bit tragic, but essentially fine.

You don't get to be fine.

I am sorry, truly sorry

but your father was a murderer
before I came into his life.

And he was free to rape and murder again
because of what you did.

I thought I might find her.

I thought I could save her.

You wanted a story.

Who cares how many more Lucys
he would have taken?

It's the biggest mistake of my life.

It wasn't a mistake.

You knew exactly what a crime scene was,
but you did it anyway

because you wanted the story.

It's all about your needs to be the best

to be the first.

I know you may not believe this...

but I've punished myself for that

every day for the last 20 years.

I believe what I see

and I see you behaving
in exactly the same way.

Let's stop.

You can't stop...

any more than he could.

But he did.

No, James. I stopped him.

He shot himself.

He was drunk, passed out, wasn't that hard.

No.

You were a child.
- Mm-hmm.

Thirteen.

Oh, Jesus.

No one else was going to do it.

Oliver was useless.

He kept crying. He's been crying ever since.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You keep saying sorry, but I...

I don't know what you're sorry for.

What do you want me to say?

Maybe you can destroy my life,
maybe you can...

...but it won't give you what you want.

Maybe not...

but it's worth a try.

Detective Inspector Broughton?

: She's busy. Is it urgent?
- Yes, it's an emergency.

:
Barbara, I need help!

: Yes, the police are here
right now looking at the tapes you stole.

Well, tell them who she is.
- : They already know.

They think you're the one with the grudge.
- : Barbara, you know me.

:
I bail you out and you hack my email.

No, I don't know you.

You stated that you first met Natalie Varga
after her husband's murder.

Yes.

But you'd come to know
her biological father, Kurt Duvall

22 years previously.

And during the course of your investigation

you never realised he had two children?

It wasn't part of the story.
I never even thought about it.

For the purposes of the recording,
I am showing Mr Alden a photograph

of 13-year-old Tanya Duvall

taken from his home.

:
Have you held onto this for 20 years?

I didn't know her then--
- I think you did.

I think you've been fixated on her

all these years.

Maybe you lost track of her
when she was adopted

but then, she became Mrs Varga,
the socialite, in the public eye

and you reconnected with your obsession.

There is no obsession.

You don't think you're obsessive, Mr Alden?
You don't fixate?

You arrived at the scene
of Lucy Gallagher's murder

before any police detective.

: I was reporting on a missing girl.
I suspected Kurt Duvall.

And I went to a lock-up I had reason--
- Kurt Duvall was never charged.

- No, because I messed up the evidence.

For which, I am eternally
and profoundly fucking sorry!

This is your file, also taken from your home.

All this material on Lucy Gallagher.
Now what would you call it?

Mementoes? Trophies?

It... It didn't feel right
just to throw it in the bin.

No, you preferred to keep it

relive it, revisit the experience--

: Officer,
that's a very unhelpful comment to make.

All my life, I've had no voice.

As a child...

no one listened to me.

As a woman...

everyone sneered.

They said I was hysterical,
imagining things, so yes...

I do feel vindicated.

: The detective
on the Gallagher case gave a statement.

How do you counter his suggestion

that you contaminated the evidence
on purpose?

Why would I?

:
Why would a journalist have 12 cable ties

two rolls of gaffer tape, three syringes

a pair of pliers and two vials of Rohypnol?

That key was planted on my--

I think you were planning
to abduct Natalie Varga

sexually assault and murder her.

That is utterly...

fucking in... insane.

Just as you did Lucy Gallagher.

:
Was it Natalie that you wanted all along?

Did she get away?
Did you have to make do with Lucy?

I'm not answering... any more questions.

And when you went after Natalie again

did George Varga try to stop you?
- : Officer, I'd like

Did he try to protect his wife?
- ...this interview terminated, now!

Mr Alden, where were you on the night
of George Varga's murder?

Yes.

I do think monster is the right word for him.
What James Alden did to me was monstrous.

That man took everyone I loved.

My best friend...

my father..

my husband...

maybe even my brother.

And after everything he'd done...

he wormed his way into my life...

and convinced me
to share my pain on camera...

...so he could enjoy it all over again.

So, God knows who else he's hurt.
There must be others.

:
It's like...

he wanted to turn me
into some kind of... living trophy.

He may have a messed-up childhood.
I don't know. Honestly, I don't care.

All I know is he won't be able
to hurt anyone anymore.

He's powerless.

His life is over.

I came close...

to being broken by him.

But in the end, I won.

I won.
