[ Motor revs ]

[ Rumbling ]

Bloody racket!

[ Whirring, rumbling ]

Look, here. Can you see
she's trying not to cry?

We were told they weren't
starting 'til the weekend.

Well, it is the weekend, Iain.

A long one, starting
this afternoon.

And you could have
booked it off, too.

Yes, well, clients come first,

and my list is
full at the moment.

Right, now, if you don't mind,

I've got a final
session due shortly.

Well, then.

See you Tuesday.

Oh, Tony, it's
that weirdo again.

No law against being a
weirdo, lucky for you.

Platanus x Hispanica,
the mighty London Plane.

Yeah, there's a...
a lot of them about.

Yeah, and I never
tire of tending them.

Or talking about them.

When you've been round these
old timers as long as I have,

you get to feeling their energy.

This one's weary.

I know how it feels.

So it stands its ground
and bears witness for...

Incoming fit bird,
southeast corner, my angle.

[ Piano playing ]

[ Electricity buzzing ]

[ Piano notes silent ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone buzzing ]

ASTRID: Max, you're
on your dingy. Good.

I was worried you might
be away for the weekend.

No. I'm just here.

What about you?

Stuck in Germany, unfortunately.

My mother's carer was
off sick, and I can't get

a flight back to London
not until tomorrow now.

I'm expecting a delivery.

You couldn't go to the flat
and wait for it, could you?

Um, bring me back some
of that Marzipan I like,

and it's a deal.

Thank you.

Winding up, but bearing in mind
this is your final session.

It might be helpful to
reflect on where you are now,

as compared to how
you were feeling

when we started your therapy.

I feel ready.

Ready to trust and to...

to be loved.

I think.

I believe you are, Daisy.

And I'm so very glad.

I hope you're proud.

Bye for now!

[ Beeps ]

- Cheers mate.
- See ya.

Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

You're not gonna sit in
the whole weekend, are you?

No, I'm...

I'm fine.

Let's talk when I'm
back from Bath, okay?

Have a good one.

Hey, hey, hey, you need to move.
You're too close to my car.

Sorry, mate, breaking for lunch.

Lunch? It's only 11:00 a.m.

Some of us start
early, sweetheart.

Suit-monkeys.

Their fancy parking
spaces wouldn't exist

if we didn't look after
these old beauties.

They don't realize their
bad juju is recorded

in every annual growth ring

of these elder-statesman's
mighty trunks.

I'll lock up the van,
meet you in the caff.

Yeah, you go on ahead.

I'm gonna put some
fliers out round the area

while we're here, and
I'll catch you later.

Here, give us both a laugh.

Key his car while
I'm gone. [ Laughs ]

I should have known
I couldn't do it

I shouldn't have tried.

Take a breath, scan your body.

Where you're feeling tension.

KHALID: I thought this
session was gonna be about

my big achievement.

Instead, it's just a
massive step backwards.

Couple of controlled breaths.

[ Breathing heavily ]

IAIN: Then tell me about it.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Clattering]

Sorry, can you excuse
me for a moment, Khalid?

Keep breathing.

[ Breathing frantically ]

[ Theme music plays ]

Here you are.

Uh-huh.

Well...

I think it's a loose connection.

Because the lights
are flickering

and my piano shorted last night.

I know it's a public holiday,
but I need an electrician.

Mm-hmm.

Well, my flight's on time, so
we should be well on the way

to Wicklow before
any mad traffic.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Oh, old on.

I better take this.

How much?!

[ Groans ]

You have got to be joking.

It's a houseboat,
not Wembley Stadium!

Uh, no, no, no.

Yeah, yeah, but no,
that's all right.

Yeah, book me in.
Understood, yeah.

[ Cellphone buzzing ]

Layla.

Right. I'm on my way.

Astrid?!

ASTRID: Max.

Are you at home?

ASTRID: Yes, I was going
to call and thank you

for stepping in for me.

Oh.

Maybe you could
return the favor?

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Iain Frankland. 51,
psychotherapist.

Bludgeoned to death
it looks like.

Almost certainly
with his own lamp.

Effective.

Victim was in the middle of
an online therapy session.

The client called it in.

So we have an eyewitness?

Didn't see the
assailant, seemingly.

Frankland muted the session,
and it all happened off camera.

Good thing is, he says
Frankland recorded it.

It's the type of
therapy they do.

We need to see that footage now.

The back door has been jimmied,

and there is a blood
smear going out that way

The victim's blood?

I'm not speculating.

Well, looks like a
panicked escape, anyway.

MAX: Robbery gone
wrong, perhaps.

LAYLA: The drawers were rifled,
but nothing obvious taken.

Victim's wallet was in his
pocket, cash and cards.

Could have been disturbed?

LAYLA: There's no
CCTV in the building,

but the victim would have had
to buzz anyone in himself.

Cleaner? Other offices?

He shares these rooms
with another therapist,

Charlotte Twist, but she
was off for the weekend.

Mr. Frankland was alone.

Apparently not.

[ Panicked breathing]

That's me trying to get the
kids to school every morning.

You're wanted outside.

I left him working
yesterday afternoon.

He was determined
to come in today

because he had a client.

Khalid Hasan.

We've seen the footage.

Is it normal to
tape your clients?

Yeah. It's part of
the process in ISTDP.

We only keep them long
enough to study the clients

as part of their treatment.

And the tapes are confidential.

Not when a murder occurs
in the middle of recording.

You'll want to see this.

It's yesterday's post, a couple
of estate agents' details,

and this.

Oh, my God.

I know who sent that.

Well, I don't know,
but it's got to be him.

There was this client last
year, Nathan... Nathan Dix.

He initially presented
with depression,

a history of
personality disorders,

ADHD on top, but
things deteriorated

when he came off his meds.

This was Mr. Frankland's
client or yours?

CHARLOTTE: Iain's,
although we...

we consult each other
as part of the process.

It's peer supervision.

Anyway, Nathan stopped
recognizing boundaries,

he started inundating

Iain with e-mails,
voicemails, texts.

CONNOR: I'll check for them.

And then he was arrested
for trying to enter

the offices uninvited.

Well, if he was arrested, we'll
have a custody image on file.

- Mm-hmm.
- CHARLOTTE: Oh, it's all

on record.

Our regulatory body was helping

Iain with legal advice
and a restraining order.

I mean, it happens.
Idealization of the therapist.

I imagine you'll have
an address for Mr. Dix.

Uh...

Well, I don't know, because it
all peaked a few months ago,

and then Nathan's living
situation become chaotic.

But we should have a GP's
number in the office.

Because Iain was
liaising with them

when things started to spiral.

Um, perhaps you
could show me where.

You're telling me that
someone has killed my husband?

Yes, I am.

And we're trying to
find out who it was.

He's dead?

I'm so sorry, but we need
to know your whereabouts

this morning between
11:00 and 12:00.

Mine?

I've been here all day,
cooking for the weekend.

And your daughter?

Emma, too. She got up late.

And then she went out
for a run, I think.

But...

you can't think.

I mean...

This just can't be happening.

I'd like you to look at
this photo, Mrs. Frankland.

Do you recognize this man?

Did your husband ever talk to
you about a problem client,

Nathan Dix?

What, the one they caught
trespassing at the practice?

I didn't know his name.

Iain's very diligent

about keeping his professional
life confidential.

Oh, my God.

That's...

Has he been in this
house, as well?

Could he have found
this photo elsewhere?

On social media perhaps?

It's my profile picture.

I'm going to need permission
to access your account.

Are we being stalked?

Are we in danger?

Because my daughter
and I are alone now.

Emma?

Where's Dad?

[ Sobbing ]

Anything?

GP surgery's closed for
the weekend. I'm chasing.

Last known address was a
hostel in Shepherd's Bush.

No phone or online presence,
not in his own name, at least.

Okay, listen up.

Iain Frankland practiced
intensive short dyn... Short...

In...

Intensive, short-term
dynamic psychotherapy.

That's ISTDP for short.

Specializing in
patients with anxiety,

depression, trauma, and
behavioral disorders.

Thank you.

We can place the time
of death between 11:20,

when the assault
itself was recorded,

and 11:55, when
the police arrived.

Now, Iain had
practiced for 20 years,

married to wife Martha
for nearly as long.

Daughter Emma, 19,
still living at home.

The assailant broke in
through the back door,

but left no fingerprints
at the scene,

no known witnesses
apart from Khalid Hasan,

the online client
who called it in.

There's a tree surgery outfit
working on the street outside,

Pickard's.

They were on a break at
the time of the murder,

but they had noted
a man matching

Nathan Dix's description
hanging around the day before.

That, combined with the
statement from Charlotte Twist,

Iain Frankland's business
partner of two years,

means that tracing Nathan
is our top priority.

Layla and I were gonna
talk to the eyewitness.

Meantime, I need a list of
all of Frankland's clients

and contacts, especially
those he's seen more recently.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yep.

LAYLA: I'll try take a couple
of days leave when I can.

I'm just sore I'll
miss the gang.

Yeah, well, try not to
pine for me too much.

Uh, Helen's not a
happy camper either.

Oh, Jon's literally
a happy camper!

There's six of us
hiking the Wicklow Way,

so he's going on without me
just to ice my cake, you know?

Well, Helen hasn't got a choice.

We've got my parents and her
mum and step-dad visiting,

and it's too late to cancel.

Oh, there are advantages
to dating an older man...

one parent, in a home.

And I didn't say that.

And there are advantages
to being stuck at work.

I didn't say that either.

Let's go.

The witness has OCD apparently,
so maybe no shaking hands?

KHALID: I want to. I swear.

I'm not trying to
be obstructive.

It's the risk factor. The germs.

We can wear masks if you'd like.

You don't understand.

I have a phobia.

I was making progress,
but always with Iain.

I can't get it out of my head.

LAYLA: No wonder.

It must have been
an awful shock.

We do understand, Mr. Hasan,

but we really need
to talk to you.

KHALID: Then talk. I'm here.

You could video-call
me if that helps.

We have your number, Mr. Hasan.

Ending zero, two, two, one, yes?

KHALID: That's me.

Call me Khalid.

I want to help any way I can.

Tell us about what you saw.

Did it seem that Mr. Frankland
was expecting someone?

No, nobody has ever
interrupted before.

Therapy is sacrosanct.

Iain wouldn't answer the door.
Not unless it was an emergency.

I'm passing you a photo
through the letterbox.

Can you tell us if it's
someone you recognize?

Mr. Hasan?

Khalid?

I...

I don't know.

Maybe.

There's something.

But is it just the
power of suggestion?

He used to be a client
of Iain Frankland's.

Might you have seen
him at the practice?

I've, um, never actually
been to the practice.

I see Iain remotely.

Jess, what have you got for me?

Nathan's GP got back.
We've got an address.

A grandmother in Belgravia!

[ Bell chimes ]

MAX: We're Chelsea CID.

Detective Inspector Arnold
and Detective Sergeant Walsh.

Thank you, Ferguson.

My grandson has been
staying here for a while.

He's not been quite well.

We need to question
Nathan urgently, Mrs. Dix.

I understand.

But it would be
best if I remained,

for reassurance, if you see?

We've been getting back on
track with Nathan's medicine

and establishing
a healthy routine.

He needs a little support,
but he's getting there.

Do sit down.

MAX: You've injured
yourself, Nathan?

Who told you?

GRANDMA DIX: Cutting is a
symptom of a more turbulent

inner climate, but as I
say, we're on the mend.

NATHAN: You're...

you're here 'cause of the
texts and e-mails, aren't you?

But I've not broken any rules.

And it's not a crime
to walk down a street.

But it is illegal to
stalk people, Nathan.

And to send hate mail.

What hate mail? I just...

I only wanted to see him again

Calm, Nathan.

Is this from you, Mr. Dix?

I never sent that!

Nothing like that.
I wouldn't. I...

Did Iain say I did?

No, he didn't.

We found it in his office.

Just... look, just let me speak
to him, please. I don't...

I don't want him to think
I'd do something like that.

Sit down, Nathan.

You can't speak
to Iain Frankland

because he's dead.

Where were you this
morning at 11:20, Nathan?

[ Screams ]

I can assure you I was
with Nathan all day.

We have a routine.

It's what the doctor advised
after his recent breakdown.

We have our pills,
then breakfast.

Then a good walk to
the gym in Mayfair.

We cut through the park.

Which gym was it?
We'll need to check.

Of course. I hope you do.

It's a private club.

Bannerman Health.

Nothing significant in his room,

except a freshly laundered
gym kit back in its bag.

From this morning?

In this house, we wash our
sweaty clothes after exercise.

You do understand this is a
murder investigation, Mrs. Dix.

[ Groans ]

We want to help,
Detective. It's a tragedy.

What will I do now, Grandma?

I know you're sad. It is sad.

But we'll find someone
else to help you.

That's what we've been
building to, you see?

Getting well enough to have
face-to-face therapy again.

It's no use if you're
not feeling yourself.

NATHAN: I wasn't feeling
myself when I went to see Iain.

I know I shouldn't
have gone. But...

I just wanted to say sorry
for making him feel cross.

And I wanted to let him know
it wouldn't happen again

and that it was
okay to come back.

This was when?

When he was arrested
for harassment.

Last summer, went to visit
Mr. Frankland uninvited,

as it were.

How did you get into
the practice, Nathan?

Well, I...

I just waited

till someone else came out,

and then I just walked
in and hid in the toilet

'til Iain's session was over.

You never interrupt a session.

It might be a good idea
to have a lie down, Natey.

You've had a bit of a shock.

Thank you, Ferguson.

I think I should share some
of the background with you,

if I may.

Was that actual Downton Abbey?

More like Bleak House.

Nathan's parents used to
lock him in the cellar

for days at a time as
punishment for bad behavior.

They called it "house arrest."

He was 6 years old.

That's literally torture.

Nathan was diagnosed
with ADHD as an adult,

but who knows how bad
his symptoms were made,

or even caused, by the abuse.

MAX: He was finally
taken into care

until his maternal grandmother
applied for custody,

and she's done her best
to atone ever since.

Obviously we'll want to check
all that against Frankland's own

notes, but Charlotte Twist
confirmed he believed it to be

a safe relationship.

So did Nathan's GP.

Mrs. Dix has been
focused on trying

to get Nathan's mental
health back on track,

and some sort of
independent living.

But buying him a flat on his
own was a mistake, apparently.

Unsupervised, he
stopped taking his meds,

and things went downhill.

But he definitely has a
solid alibi for the murder?

Well, the gym confirms Nathan
and his gran checked in and out

with facial
recognition security.

We've got the CCTV recording.

Then who killed Iain Frankland?

We have the full list
of Iain's clients.

Khalid Hasan was
his only one today.

But these are the people
he saw most recently.

Only two people actually came
in to the practice yesterday.

One of them was a
client of Charlotte's.

But she and her parents flew
to Mallorca yesterday evening.

And the other was
a Daisy Philips.

I've called, so has Charlotte,

but there's been
no answer so far.

She may be away.

I've drawn a blank so
far on Frankland's phone,

e-mails, bank account,
but it's early days.

[ Telephone ringing ]

I want to know who sent that.

Could still be Nathan, even
if he's not the killer.

JESS: Max, it's Charlotte Twist.

She wants permission to fetch
some files from the crime scene.

Tell her I'll meet her there.

You and Jess call on
this Daisy Philips.

Let's try and track her down.

DAISY: You can check these,

but I do need to start
making arrangements.

How well do you
know Iain's family?

Would you know if
there were problems?

Oh, he wouldn't
have talked to me.

I mean, the daughter sounds
like a bit of a handful,

but that's just what I gleaned

from his telephone
conversations with his wife.

What about his wife, um, Martha?

Uh, well, I met her a couple
of times. I liked her.

She seemed very
quiet, but Iain's...

Iain was quite alpha, so it
probably worked for them.

Why do you say "alpha"?

Well, very...

very sure of himself.

I mean, I don't think Martha
could say boo to a goose.

But I suppose everyone
has their breaking point.

So it would seem.

[ Buzzing ]

Phone's going
straight to voicemail.

Do you know a Daisy Phillips?

I'm Letitia, her
flat mate. Why?

I've been trying to
call her, too, tell her

I was coming home early.

Had a fight with my boyfriend.

Jess.

JESS: Daisy, can you hear me?

Ambulance to flat 2,
27 St. Thomas' Road.

Red one, adult female,
mid-30s, suspected overdose.

It doesn't make sense.

She really wanted to get well.

She's unresponsive,
but breathing, just.

She saved all her money
to get the best treatment,

like, every penny!

What was she suffering
from, Letitia?

LETITIA: Anxiety, depression.

She grew up in care, fostering.

There was some bad
stuff happened.

Like, it's complicated.

Is there any next of
kin that we could call?

Even distant?

LETITIA: No one.

Not that I know of anyway.

Had anything changed recently?

Only for the better.

She was finishing her therapy,

I think she might
have even met someone.

Spike?

I don't know.

I do know she wanted
to get out there.

She was optimistic.

Till last night.

I think something had happened,

but I was in a hurry
to leave and...

It's okay.

Okay, thanks, Layla.

No, keep me posted.

Can it be a coincidence, that
one of Iain's last clients,

Daisy Phillips, just
attempted suicide?

Well, suicidal ideation is
not unusual in our business.

But I'd be surprised if
Iain stopped her treatment

if he thought she
was in a bad place.

In fact no, no, he was really
pleased with her progress.

We discussed it.

And who is Spike?

Uh, I don't know, but I can
check her tapes if you'd like.

Oh, uh, I'll take the tapes.

All the recent ones.

They're evidence.

Wait, this is different
to Khalid's tape.

Daisy can't consent,
and the attack

didn't take place
during her therapy.

No, but she tried to kill
herself shortly after,

and I want to know why.

Are you suggesting she had
something to do with it?

Anyone who visited the
practice in the last few days

is of interest to us.

You and your own
clients included.

IAIN: Your fight
or flight response

was malfunctioning for
good reason, Daisy.

You're very brave.

I want you to recognize that.

DAISY: I do.

I mean, I'm not afraid
anymore, I don't think.

Or when I am, I understand it.

It doesn't feel, you know...

disastrous.

She's in intensive
care. Still unconscious.

She doesn't look strong
enough to bludgeon anyone.

If she caught him unawares.

But what's the motive?

Maybe she didn't want
to end her therapy.

Maybe he insisted and she
couldn't handle being cut loose?

I haven't found anything
that even hints at that yet.

Well...

IAIN: I hope you're proud.

Bye for now!

We've got her last two sessions,
and they're 90 minutes long,

so there's a lot
to trawl through,

but so far, there's no
mention of any Spike,

and she seems just like her
flat mate described her...

optimistic.

Maybe her OD-ing is
just coincidence.

Check this out!

CHARLOTTE: Where's your
father in all this?

I mean, you talk about
your mother a lot, but...

Wait for it.

The picture behind her.

JESS: Oh, my God,
the tree surgeon.

We took his statement.

I don't suppose he mentioned
he was a peeping Tom.

At the very least.

We might be able to catch
them before they knock off.

Where's the gaffer?

TONY: At the Caff,
round the corner.

You take it in turns going up?

Uh, Ross mostly. He's got
more experience with pruning.

JESS: Oh, yeah?

How long have you been
working for Ross, then?

About a year. Why?

Just filling in some gaps I
forgot to ask this morning.

[ Indistinct chatter,
coffee machines whirring ]

Oh.

You lot are like busses.

Never around when you need one,

but when you're after
a quiet bite to eat...

Who was up the tree this morning

when the therapist was attacked?

We were on lunch.

I said. I said, didn't I?

Before you broke
for lunch, then?

Ross was.

Look, what... what is all this?

Is he in some kind of trouble?

Not that I know of.

Yet.

[ Music playing in background ]

So I have to take a chainsaw
up a tree with a blindfold on?

Oh, and here comes another bus.

Charmer.

Does it look like Mr. Pickard
here is craning his neck

to see through the window?

Oh, it's got to be said, does
look a bit like voyeurism.

What do I want to voy
in a shrink's office?

JESS: You tell us, Ross.

Because it's
looking a bit wrong.

Look, I'm a tree
surgeon, not a pervert.

I didn't do anything dark, man.

And I never saw any murder.

But I did see a
bit of a to and fro

between her and the dead guy.

Her, yeah, the therapist.
They were having words.

I could hear her shouting
at him, "lying bastard."

Words to that effect.

When was this?

Yesterday, about an
hour before that.

Is this absolutely necessary?

Your assistance is
duly appreciated.

Because I'm really
quite up against it,

rescheduling Iain's client list
for the next few weeks at least.

You can't just cancel?

Well, these are real
people with real trauma,

and now their therapist
has been murdered.

I have a duty of care.

Don't they get to
say who sees them?

Well, sure, yes,
eventually, but there's, uh,

a mechanism in place.

It's like a safety net.

We all designate someone
who will inherit our clients

in the event of our death.

Mine was Iain. Iain's was me.

Good thing you'll be able
to squeeze them all in.

I've seen your client list.

It's only half as
full as Iain's.

There's a natural ebb and flow.

And Iain charged more?

My rates are client variable.

But you'll be keeping Iain's
clients on the higher rate,

I assume?

For now.

One could say it's worked
out rather well for you.

I don't like the insinuation,
Detective Inspector.

Can you please remind me
why you had me come here?

Oh, I want to ask you about

a row you had with
Iain yesterday.

You were overheard shouting.

[ Sighs ]

I lost my temper, that's all.

Iain had, once again,

taken a referral that
was intended for me.

He made some excuse, saying he
was better suited to the brief,

but it was underhand.

Iain was very competitive.

"Alpha" I think you
said this morning.

Yeah, and I felt sorry
for his wife and daughter,

if you must know.

Yes, I must.

Well, then.

He was a greedy,
egotistical bully.

And I told him, if he insisted
on taking the lion's share of

the referrals, then
he should be paying

the lion's share of the rent.

He told me to "up my game."

I think he had a bit of
a God complex going on.

It wasn't just about
vocation for Iain.

It was about being
seen to be the best.

It was about his ego.

I have to ask you
again, Charlotte.

Where were you this morning when
Iain Frankland was murdered?

I was home, alone,
browsing estate agents.

Because if Iain hadn't died,
I was planning to leave.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Knocks on door ]

MARTHA: Emma?

[ Emma sobbing ]

Are you okay, darling?

We can talk if you want to.

I want to be left alone!

Hey.

Thank you.

All sorted.

But it took longer
than expected.

Because he charges by the hour.

She.

It was a woman.

Can I get you a drink
to say thank you?

I, uh, helped myself.

And I don't want to be
here when you see the bill.

I take it you've already looked?

No comment.

Uh, I brought the marzipan
to sweeten the pill.

I'm out of here.

MAX: What the...?

I used to count happy
times on my hand,

like, save them up,
for when I needed one.

I even used to rate them.

IAIN: What was number one?

DAISY: It used to change.

But then there was that
summer at the caravan,

when we ran away
from Petershill.

I told you about it.

IAIN: Yeah, you and
your friend, yes?

DAISY: Just me and Spike.

Just a rusty old
caravan nobody wanted,

but it was like a sanctuary.

Nobody bothering us,

nobody trying get
in my room at night.

I felt safe.

I stopped rating
them after that.

Nothing could top it.

You want to know the worst time?

IAIN: If you want to tell me.

DAISY: When they caught us,

they accused Spike
of coercing me.

The only guy I ever
really trusted.

Apart from you.

And they kicked him out.

Locked me back in
with my abusers.

[ Electricity crackles ]

Oh, shit.

DAISY: Hope died
for me that day.

[ Clicking ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Hi, Ashley.

Max, what are you doing
sitting in the dark?

MAX: Cursing my electrician.

And be quick. My laptop's
running out of charge.

So, it's a yes on the
lamp as suspected,

the murder weapon, which does
make it look opportunistic

rather than planned

That's our theory so far.

ASHLEY: Max, get this.

I also found a small
area of foreign blood

on the head wound.

Foreign?

ASHLEY: It could have
been there before,

but unlikely at that
precise location.

I'll know more when the
lab can clean up my sample.

Everything's taking longer
thanks to the bank holiday.

MAX: Thanks, Ashley.

Let me know when
you have anything.

Oh!

[ Sighs ]

No, I don't want to
book another call out.

I want to book the same call
out to do the job properly.

I'm fully aware
it's a bank holiday.

That's why I'm holding an
invoice for a small fortune.

But the job was botched.

Yes, Detective
Inspector Max Arnold.

And I haven't had a coffee yet

because I can't
plug my machine in!

I...

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Connor?

You called the police?

I didn't know what else to do.

Of course you didn't.

'Cause he's not here
to tell you anymore.

Yeah, I sent the card.

You might think that makes
me a psycho or something,

but actually, it was the
only therapy I could get,

and it really made
me feel better.

Can you elaborate a little?

My dad's a therapist.

He knows a lot of therapists.

And if I had therapy,

I'd have to tell the
truth, or what's the point?

And if I told the truth,
he'd be struck off.

Just give me a sec.

He's still my dad,
even if I do hate him.

He had an affair.

Three years ago, when I
was 16, and I found out.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. Me too.

It was my best friend.

And yes, that made her 16, too.

He ended it immediately.

Said he was grateful that
I'd saved him from himself.

Midlife crisis and all that.

And he begged me
not to tell my mom.

She's fragile.

He swore he'd never do
anything like it again.

And as far as I
know, he never did.

So I kept his secret.

When did you start sending
the hate mail, Emma?

EMMA: Six months ago, maybe?

We had a fight about
my anger issues.

And I couldn't believe
he was lecturing me.

Sounds like you were
pretty angry with him.

Only sent three in all.

The first one he thought
was from his stalker.

He never mentioned one of them.

And the one mom found,

I never sent because
someone killed him first.

It must have been really tough
keeping all that to yourself.

I didn't kill him
or hire an assassin.

I'm not quite stupid enough
to send out a calling card

before committing murder.

What was her name, your friend?

Ex-friend.

Somehow shagging my
dad came between us.

This is Mandy Cho,
Emma's friend.

Lives in Australia now.
Left about 18 months ago.

Quite a weight to carry.

No wonder Emma struggled.

Fact is, though, she
doesn't have a firm alibi,

however sorry we feel.

Looks like Daisy's
off the list anyway.

Toxicology suggests she OD'd

before Iain Frankland
was murdered.

I still need to talk to her.

She's stable, but still
in intensive care.

So that was downstairs.

Seems there was a
domestic burglary at

22 Havelock Street while the
owners were away yesterday.

And the suspect
was caught on CCTV.

Nearly missed the facial
ID thanks to the helmet.

He was dressed as a
Rush Order driver.

The guy I told you
about yesterday,

all cosy with Ross Pickard,
the tree surgeon gaffer?

Hello again, Mr. Peeping Tom.

And, guess who else has
a criminal conviction.

His sidekick, Tony Donner.

Bring 'em both in.

Who is David Slinn?

Is he a pizza delivery driver,
or is that just a disguise?

No comment.

Okay.

If Mr. Slinn is your
delivery driver friend,

just remember, he
has a cast-iron alibi

for the murder of
Iain Frankland,

because he was robbing the
house down the road at the time

on camera.

Listen, I know how it looks,
but I'm a man of peace.

I wouldn't raise
a hand to anyone.

Then what would you do for
averaging a grand a month?

We've checked your account.

Okay, look, all I
ever did for him

was recce the odd empty, hm?

And pass on anything
that might be useful.

I never did any robbing.
No. That was Davie S.

Davie S? With the
alibi for murder.

Meanwhile, you were
robbing 50 Havelock Street

only to find Mr. Frankland
working the bank holiday.

But no, I was on a
lunch break, man.

I swear!

I knew he was working. We had
words earlier about his car.

I was by the food
trucks out on the river.

Ask Tony. He'll back me.

Tony, your accomplice
with the criminal record?

Tony had nothing to do with it.

I didn't know anything about it!

I've spent years trying
to avoid trouble.

You think I want to
go back to jail again?

Nobody wants to go to jail.

Look, I got wasted and
nicked a car when I was 19,

but I haven't put
a foot wrong since.

You can check.

So why now?

I'm a good person.

I know that.

I don't need no judge or no rap
sheet to tell me what's in here.

Ross Pickard claims you
were at some food trucks

together at the time of
Iain Frankland's murder

and the robbery.

No, that's bullshit.

The food trucks ain't even
there on a bank holiday.

I brought my own food in,
and I ate it by the river.

I don't know what Ross did.

Oh, okay, maybe I did
get my days confused.

But I didn't murder anyone.

Innocent 'til proven
guilty, right?

So if you weren't at the
food trucks with Tony,

where were you, Ross?

It was only yesterday.

No comment.

So, Pickard takes
the number one spot.

But you're not convinced.

Don't have the evidence
to charge him yet.

Can't rule Tony out, either.

Let's check that
CCTV by the river.

Okay, but that's
a lot of checking

on a Bank Holiday where
everyone and their nan's off

for a walk by the river.

Let them both go.

For now.

ROSS: Yeah, it's no biggie, man.

TONY: You think
you can mug me off?

You know how much I
wanted a clean slate.

These guys have got
nothing on me, anyway.

I hope you go down.

Either way, I'd rather clean
the sewers than work for you/

ROSS: Tony!

Tony?!

Max, it's Ashley.
She says it's urgent.

Okay.

We got the results
on the foreign blood

from the victim's head wound.

And there's a match
on the DNA database.

Sending now.

[ Computer chimes ]

Bloody hell.

Where's Nathan, Mrs. Dix?

He's barricaded
himself in the kitchen.

I don't understand.

It's jammed.

Police! Open the door!

OFFICER: Back door's open!

He's gone over the wall!

Max.

WOMAN: Person fitting suspect's
description seen running down

Elm Park Road.

LAYLA: Heading that way now.

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Tires squeal ]

JESS: Is that him?

Just a jogger.

Suspect still at large,
armed and dangerous.

I'm sorry, Ems.

I should have given you
the benefit of the doubt.

Kinda.

I just thought...

I didn't know what to think.

Yes, you did.

You thought I was insane
enough to kill dad,

but you never questioned
whether he was anything

other than right at all times.

He knew better than me.

He looked after us.

He knew how to manipulate us.

Please, Ems, I need you.

Too late.

You put all your
faith in one man, mum,

and look what he left you with.

A bunch of fake memories and
a nut job for a daughter.

[ Sniffles, sobs ]

Jess and Layla are following
an officer sighting.

Try and stay calm, Mrs. Dix.

We need to know anything
you can tell us.

I... I told you everything
truthfully yesterday.

Well, then Nathan
must have lied.

How else would his blood have
ended up on the murder victim?

It was a mistake.

I told you, I was
with him all day.

At the gym, even?

We... I take an
over-60s pilates class

while he does his machines
and whatnot, but then,

he joined me for a swim,
then the juice bar.

Go back to the gym, check
every camera they have.

I'll meet you at the station.

Sure.

You said Nathan self-harms.

Did he have any open
wounds that you remember?

Well, of course, but
they were bandaged.

We see to that daily.

What about when you go swimming?

We... I remove the wet
bandages and afterwards,

I-I redress them at home.

You seem uncertain.

It's just that yesterday,

I'm not sure...

Try to think back, Mrs. Dix.

[ Door opens ]

If I may.

There was a deep laceration.

I should have said
no to swimming.

When they returned,
the bandage was gone.

And he said he'd been "bad."

Bad how?

I assumed he was
referring to the cutting.

And you didn't think to
mention any of this until now?

Even though you knew a
man had been murdered?

[ Gasps ]

Nathan is a good boy who has
had bad things done to him.

The only person he's capable
of hurting is himself.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

While Mrs. Dix attended
her pilates class,

Nathan slipped out
the service door.

CCTV picks him up in the lane
behind the gym, bandage on.

Then 45 minutes later,
he returns the same way.

A cleaner even holds
the door for him.

And then, cool as you
like, he goes for a swim?

No bandage, right?

Correct.

And look at this.

Picking him up on Quay Street.

This is 20 minutes
before the phone call

is made to report
Frankland's attack.

And he's wearing
his bandage, see?

Yeah.

Wait.

Freeze there.

Zoom in on the taxi guy.

That's Khalid Hasan,
our agoraphobic friend.

Housebound my eye.

[ Knocking on door ]

If you've got it in you to
travel to a murder scene,

you've got it in you
to open the door.

And if you don't, I will get a
warrant and come in by force,

which will be very expensive,

not to mention much more
upsetting all round.

Might be best if you stay here.

KHALID: I was feeling
so much better.

I was planning to surprise Iain

by attending my
session in person.

But there were these
guys doing some work

on Havelock Street, bits of dust
and God knows flying everywhere,

and I started to panic.

They were tree surgeons.
It was sawdust.

I have a phobia.

I understand.

So then what?

I ran away.

It sounds pathetic, I
know, but it's been so long

since I've left the flat, other
than in a cab to the doctor.

You build it up, you see?

And then I thought I
was going to pass out.

So I asked this guy to call me
a cab, but he made some excuse.

Why didn't you tell us this

the first time we
questioned you?

It didn't seem important.

I was overwhelmed by
what happened to Iain.

Did you recognize the man
you saw in the street?

I showed you this yesterday.

Oh, my God.

He... he said he was in a
hurry. He didn't have much time.

I...

Right.

Tell me everything you remember

Okay, gather round.

So Nathan Dix is still at large,

and we have to assume
armed with a knife.

He's likely to be confused,
frightened, and highly agitated.

I've placed a car outside
Mrs. Dix's property,

and another outside the murder
scene in case he returns.

We know he slept rough when
he was in crisis before,

so eyes and ears on all
known homeless hangouts.

Meantime, we've sent an
alert to all patrol cars

and British Transport Police,
hostels, and hospitals.

I checked in on Daisy Philips
at Chelsea and Westminster.

She's still in ICU,
but making progress.

And someone called
Spike has been calling,

asking after her.

Can we trace the calls?

We did. To a burner phone.

Well, according to
her therapy tapes,

she claims to have lost
touch with Spike years ago.

[ Sighs ]

We need to find him.

I'll call the hospital.

Go home, all of you.

Hm?

Get a break while you can.

Nathan has to rest
himself sometime.

We'll standby.

Gives me a chance to unpack
my camping gear anyway.

JESS: Oh, one word,
Layla. "Staycation."

Less packing, more time in
your pyjamas watching TV.

CONNOR: All right for you, mate.

I've got a stressed out
girlfriend and two sets

of parents waiting at home.

Oh, good luck with that.

CONNOR: Thanks.

[ Door closes ]

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

Just bloody marvellous!

[ Clattering ]

[ Groans ]

Oh, shit!

Hello, Nathan.

How did you get in?

Um, you left...

left the door open.

Um, can you turn the
torch off, please?

Yeah, uh...

I said turn it off!

Now sit down.

Why do you live on a boat?

What is it that
you want, Nathan?

I went to the police station
to find you, but I-I just...

I knew that you'd arrest me,
so I followed you back here.

You want to tell me something?

Yeah, but you have to listen.

If you don't just listen then...

then what's the point of
wasting everyone's time?

Will you let me light a candle?

No!

Okay. Well, how
about you light one?

If I can't see you, how do
I know if I can believe you?

There's matches on the shelf.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Hi, Max.

Hello?

Why don't you tell me what
it is you want, Nathan?

You followed me
home for a reason,

so why don't you
put the knife down

and start from the beginning?

No, no, no, because if
I put the knife down,

then you won't listen to me.

Oh, I...

I'm listening.

You've hurt yourself, again.

Yeah, but I didn't
hurt him! Iain.

I know you think I
did, but I didn't.

I wouldn't hurt
him, because I...

I loved him.

Okay.

So, can you tell me why
your blood was on his body?

[ Sighs ] I knew it!

You've already decided.

That's what you guys do.

You can't see past what
you think you know,

but not everything
is explained away,

not everything mad is madness!

MAX: That's true, Nathan.

I want to hear your
story. I really do.

And hopefully...

Urgent backup
needed, Cheyne Wharf.

MAX: I'll be able to help you.

I missed him.

You know, I was a
pest, I know that,

and I I wanted to tell him
that I was back on my meds

and it was okay and that I
could start seeing him again.

So, you went to see him when you
snuck out of the gym yesterday?

Was it only yesterday?

You see, I, um, I went
the day before, as well,

hung around outside in case
he came out, but he never did.

Yesterday, you went to the
gym with your grandmother.

And maybe you thought
you'd get in trouble

if you told her
where you were going.

Yeah. Yeah. She
wouldn't have let me.

Not after the time I got caught,

but it's chicken
and egg, isn't it?

It's chicken and egg, so I went,

and I was gonna wait for someone
to come out, and then hide

like before, but when I
passed behind Havelock Street,

I noticed that the back
door was already open.

I went in.

There wasn't anyone
around, and, you know,

I remembered it was the weekend.

Then I heard this noise.

Like a...

Like a sort of bumping.

So I went up anyway,

and he was sitting in his
chair, calling out to me.

He was still alive?

No, he was... he
was calling in here.

And his eyes were open.

But he'd hurt his head,
so I took off my bandage,

and I-I stopped the bleeding.

He blinked, and
he... yeah, he was...

he was staring at me.

He was trying to
tell me something.

And then I heard the
sirens, like last time,

but it wasn't Iain
who called the police.

I know that now.

Um, because he
gave me a talisman.

He gave you what?

Um, like an amulet?

A lucky charm, for protection.

Yeah, from evil.

Because he knew.

He knew about house arrest.

He wanted me to run.

I'd saved his life,
so he saved mine.

You wanted to be
safe, so you ran?

Yeah. I ran back to the gym.

What did you do
with the bandage?

NATHAN: Oh, I just...
I just throw them in

with the dirty towels,
but... but I knew I wouldn't

get caught because of
my... um, my amulet.

Everything was as it should be.

I understand, Nathan.

Thank you for explaining.

May I see it?

[ Cellphone buzzing ]

What was that?

Uh, it's just my...

phone, you don't need to...

NATHAN: Give it!

[ Beeps ]

Shit!

[ Engine revs ]

[ Siren wails ]

You lied!

Yes. Yes.

It's... it's horrible
feeling frightened, isn't it?

I understand that because
I'm frightened right now.

I don't want to hurt
you. I wouldn't.

That's what I've been saying.

MAX: I believe you, Nathan.

But I'd feel better
if you put...

put the knife down.

No.

Could I at least see
your lucky charm?

Maybe it could protect me, too.

Please be careful.

It's precious.

Iain gave you this?

It was in his hand.

It's her.

She was so happy to see him.

She was crying, but
she was so happy.

MAX: Who, Nathan?

Show me who?

I saw her. She... she
just kept hugging him.

Who did she hug?

Armed police! On the floor!
Hands behind your head!

[ Officers shouting ]

Stand down! He's no threat.

Alert a psychiatric crash team.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I believe you, Nathan.

I promise.

You're safe now. Trust me.

LAYLA: I have got a potential
2MHA at Cheyne Wharf

by Battersea Bridge.

Urgent request for LAS.

Thanks.

For being there.

For picking up your phone.

Thanks for trusting me to.

Besides, you'd have
sacked me if I hadn't.

Oh, guaranteed.

[ Indistinct talking ]

Have they informed
his grandmother?

She's going to meet
them at the hospital.

Nathan found this
in Frankland's hand

as he lay there
bleeding to death.

I think he must have pulled
it off his assailant.

A carabiner.

The kind used by climbers.

[ Sighs ]

Or tree surgeons.

This is harassment now. Yeah?

I've got no comment
'til my brief gets here.

Fine by me.

I've got all day.

That was the hospital.
Daisy's out of danger.

They're discharging her into her
flat mate's care later today.

Come and see. It's all here.

Day before the murder.

Daisy Philips's leaving
after her final session.

Half an hour after.

See behind her, the tree
surgeons packing up for the day.

Check out Tony.

He's clocked her.

Following Daisy's trajectory.

Picking up on CCTV
on Bell Street.

And a closer angle from
the CCTV across the street.

Wait for it.

Tony.

Nathan's been hanging
around the practice

waiting to say sorry to Iain,

but Tony and Ross have
clocked him, so he goes home.

That was the day
before the murder.

But why would Tony
kill Iain the next day?

I don't understand.

Is he Spike?

[ Door buzzes, opens ]

- Well?
- He's waiting for his brief.

Good. Let's not give
Tony a heads up.

Let's get a warrant.

Mr. Donner!

Things would go better for you
if you'd just open the door.

The caretaker keeps
a set just in case.

Apparently he's a good tenant.

No trouble, helpful
to neighbors.

And apparently a murderer.

- IAIN: How do you feel?
- I'm nervous, to be honest.

MAX: It seems Ian was
making separate recordings.

But I trust you.

Good. I'm glad.

Alright.

Look, alright.
Alright, it's okay.

We can't desensitize
your intimacy phobia

unless we expose
you to what you fear

without there being
any real danger

Now, look, you are
in complete control.

Everything that you say,
everything that you do,

and everything that you touch.

Thank you.

IAIN: We'll start gently.

I'm sorry. I just
don't think...

IAIN: Right, you can't.

You have to experience you
past shame to move on from it.

[ Heavy breathing]

[ Video stops ]

Get a car ready.

I know where he is.

[ Indistinct talking ]

Tony Donner, I'm
arresting you on suspicion

of the murder of Iain Frankland.

It's okay, Daise.
I want to confess.

You do not have to say anything.

But it may harm your defense
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 get it, but I need to
get this off my chest.

I need you to understand.

Prison changed
everything for me.

When I was inside, I realized
there was only one person

in my whole life that mattered,

that needed me.

She was on her own.

She'd long gone from
the home when I got out,

but I never stopped looking.

She wasn't on social media,
or anything like that,

but I knew I'd find her somehow.

And then I saw her.

Just the other day out the blue.

Couldn't believe it.

But she was in bits.

'Cause this rapist had just
took every bit of trust

Daise had built up and
obliterated it, and he...

and he taped it!

We know what he did, Daisy.

And none of it's your fault.

I wanted to call you
lot then and there,

but all Daisy wanted
was the tape back.

I did not want anyone to see.

So I went to go and get it.

When Ross went for lunch,

I told the bastard to hand
it over, and then I just...

I lost it.

I lost it, Daise.

I could always
look after myself,

but what Daisy went through
when it was lights out...

And this animal, this predator

pretending to be
looking after her,

was trying pull rank on me,
as if I was the intruder.

Well, you know the rest.

And I'm glad he's dead,
and I'll do my time.

And I will never stop
loving you, Daisy.

You're what's been
missing, Spike.

All this time, it's been you.

I'm sorry.

I forgot who was supposed
to be caring for who.

It's unforgivable.

Don't.

If I'd told you about Mandy Cho

when it happened instead
of colluding with him.

The feelings you're having
are real and complicated,

and they're going to take
some time to work through.

Iain wasn't my husband or
my father, but I knew him.

And I know that he alone was
responsible for his actions.

At least this proves I'm not
a murderer or a peeping Tom.

Just a bog standard house-thief.

You must be very proud.

His mate Davie Slinn
sang like a diva.

Turns out Ross was
holding the ladder

whilst Slinn did the
job on Havelock Street.

Boom.

And he's been linked to
three other jobs in the area.

[ Chuckles ]

Good with trees, not so much
with covering his tracks.

Doesn't seem fair, does it?

Murder's murder, even when their
victim's an egregious groomer.

Well, you have to
feel for them, though.

Seems like they were
meant to be together.

Right, well done, team.

You've earned your day off.

I'm only sorry your
holiday got wrecked.

Anyone fancy a drink?

Oh, yeah.

Make it two and the
parents will have left

by the time I get back.

Layla, are you in?

If you're sure I'm not needed.

Go! First round's on me.

Oh!

- Oh!
- Boom.

[ Laughter ]

- Come with us?
- I think I'll pass.

I've had quite enough of
you all for one weekend.

[ Laughs ]

You sure you're gonna be okay
on the boat after what happened?

A new door and some electricity,
I'll be good as new.

What?

[ Door opens, closes ]

MAX: Any preference?

ASTRID: Whatever. You choose.

Just as well I got the new sofa.

The old one, your
back would have kaput.

I'm sure it's very comfortable.

Olivia's got guests
for the weekend,

or you know I wouldn't...

I said it was okay.

Maybe I should book a hotel.

Sit down, relax.

I see you brought
your own refreshments.

Hey, I'm prepared to share.

Thanks.

I've prepared a cheese board.

Oh.

What, no...

Please let me.

That's new.

Yeah, and the carpet.

Didn't you notice?

[ Clears throat ]

One good thing about
living on your own

is that it doesn't take all
night to agree on what to watch.

Even better, not having to pick
toffee popcorn out of the rug.

Never mind what it's
doing to your arteries.

[ Cellphone buzzing ]

Oh.

Hi. Please go ahead
and start without me.

Richard, just one sec.

[ Talking indistinctly ]
