[bright classical music playing]

[man] Good drive?

Well, it took us a while to find you. It's pretty deserted around here.

My dogs love the quiet.

Lots of space to run around. No one to bother.

We're all so excited to bring Stuffing home.

- [woman chuckles] - [dog whimpers]

- Stuffing? - [dog yaps]

[woman] That's what we're gonna call him, mm-hmm.

'Cause he's adorable like a stuffed animal. [laughs]

- It's cute, right? - [dog yaps]

Just a few more questions, if you don't mind.

[man 2] We filled out all your paperwork already.

We didn't need to do this much to buy our home.

No, because buying a home isn't nearly as important as adopting a puppy.

A puppy isn't an impulse buy.

It's not a dress or a car or even a house.

It's a living, breathing creature that needs love and care.

- [child] We want to adopt him. - And stability.

We understand that.

We're taking this responsibility very seriously.

Tell me your plans for Patrick.

[ominous music playing]

[man 2] You don't like the name Stuffing.

Well, I guess we could call the puppy Patrick,

although it does seem a little formal.

Oh, and the next-door neighbor's called Patrick, so...

- Mm-hmm, Patrick Benson. - How did you know that?

- We ran background checks. - I think this was a mistake.

We can find another breeder.

[ominous music intensifies]

[woman gasps]

Our dogs need a stable home.

You don't deserve this puppy.

Thank you.

Oh, yes. [chuckles]

[puppy yaps]

That was a close call, wasn't it, Olympia?

- [tires screech] - [bright classical music playing]

[dog barks]

[door bangs]

[classical music crescendoes]

- [classical music ends] - [tense music playing]

- [music fades] - [knocking]

[Kat] Monte Leburne didn't do it.

- What? - He didn't kill Dad.

- [Stagger] You could've called. - I knew it.

- Hi, Raya. - [Raya] Oh, hey, Kat.

- In there. - [Raya] It's a bit early.

[Stagger] Won't be a minute.

Can't this wait?

Okay, I want you to listen to me for a second with an open mind.

- Oh, Kat. - No, let's go back to the beginning.

Calligan's hitman, Monte Leburne gets nailed for two hits.

Meanwhile, you're searching for whoever killed Dad.

You don't have anything. You have rumors, a few loose threads.

- And then, suddenly, Leburne confesses. - It wasn't like that.

- [Kat] Why confess? - What are you doing?

What about the second fingerprint on... on the weapon? It was never identified.

- Where is this coming from? - Don't you wonder? It was all a lie.

- How can you be so sure all of a sudden? - Monte Leburne told me himself.

- You spoke to Leburne? - [plates clatter]

He asked to see me.

Monte Leburne asked to speak to you?

Mm-hmm. So he could tell me the truth.

- Kat, do you honestly expect me-- - [loud clatter]

Sorry, love, can you just give us a second?

It's just the blueberry muffins are ready to come out. I... I don't want them to burn.

- I can get the muffins. - You sure?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- [Stagger] It's just work stuff. - Okay.

- You need to speak to him before he dies. - [Stagger winces]

If he retracts his confession, we can reopen the case.

What you're saying is mad.

Monte Leburne was already going down for two murders.

What was the harm in him taking the rap for one more?

Don't you see? He was the perfect person to confess.

We need to look into Calligan again.

You have tried to nail something on Calligan for years.

- It hasn't happened. - So you want me to stop trying?

What about the murder weapon? We found the knife where Leburne said.

- The real killer told him where it was! - Oh, Kat!

When does a pro like Leburne save the murder weapon?

We never got the weapons for the other two murders.

Now what? He's saving it as... memorabilia because he killed a police officer?

- [Stagger] Stop. - He also saw Josh.

- Josh? - Yeah, Josh saw him in prison.

- What? - Next he was gone.

It has to be connected. Like, this...

- It... It doesn't make sense! - Stop it! Stop it!

Monte Leburne killed your father.

It isn't neat. It isn't a perfect fit. It never is. You know that.

[Kat] No, I don't.

Someone took my dad from me, and I just wanna know why.

Why is that so hard for you to understand?

I understand. I get it. I've been with you for 11 years.

I've seen what losing your dad has done to you and Odette,

and I'm... sorry.

No one should have to go through that. But you have to let it go.

- Your father would want you to move on. - No.

- You know that. - No, I can't.

Just please go and talk to Leburne.

[ringing tone]

[Stacey] You've reached Stacey's voicemail.

Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

- [voicemail beeps] - Stacey, it's me.

I need you to help me find Josh.

Get me, uh, uh, uh, uh... an address, a number, anything.

I have to know why he went to see Leburne.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[car horn honks]

[sighs]

- [music echoing] - What is this anyway?

- [Kat] This is a good track! - This is proper music.

- "Proper music"? - [music fades]

- [funky bass line playing] - [Josh] Yeah!

- Hang on, hang on. This is... Oh! - Oh, here we go. Here we go.

Now, this is what you need to be dancing to, right?

- [Josh] Yes! - [Clint] Now, this, Kat...

- No, no. Dad, no. - [Josh] I'm embarrassed. He's not my dad.

- [Clint whoops] - [Josh] I can't let you do this.

- What do you mean? - [Josh] I've gotta show you.

What are you gonna show me?

- [Josh] Let's do it together. - [Clint] Okay.

- [both] Five, six, seven, and... - [Kat laughs]

- You have to make the noises. Uh! - [Josh] Whoo!

- And back. And back. - Back.

- [Clint] Yeah, man. - [Josh] Yeah. To the left.

- You don't have to choreograph me. - [laughs] Are you sure?

- Are you coming? Come on. Come on! - Oh, here we go! You want your backup...

[music fades]

[doorbell buzzes]

- [door closes] - Where were you?

I was worried you were at home stressing about Josh.

Josh saw Monte Leburne in prison.

Josh saw the man that killed your dad?

The day before he left me, he went to the prison.

Did he mention anything to you about Leburne? You were so close.

I'm sorry, Kat. He didn't mention anything.

[unsettling music playing]

I always thought that he left because of... me,

but maybe he was trying to help with my dad's murder.

Maybe he found out something that he couldn't tell me.

[contemplative music playing]

Can't have been that good, could it?

Before Dad, were we really that happy?

[Aqua] You were everything to Josh.

[music continues]

[unsettling music playing]

[unsettling music intensifies]

[music fades]

Today we're appealing for information

regarding the disappearance of Rishi Magari.

Rishi was last seen one week ago

wearing a gray jacket, blue tie, and a stripey gray shirt.

Clean yourself up. Put that on.

His disappearance is out of character.

[gasping]

[shudders]

We're asking anyone who has information to please come forward.

And, Rishi, if you can see this message,

please contact us to let us know that you're safe.

[man] Titus.

[chopping continues]

Kneel.

Please, I...

I don't know why I'm here.

[Rishi] Just tell me what you want.

[Titus] I know you want to see Vanessa,

and I'm sure she's wondering why you haven't shown up.

If you cooperate, this will only be a short delay

on yours and Vanessa's way to happiness.

But if you don't...

- [sentimental music playing] - ...well, we can make it worse for her.

- [tense music playing] - No. Leave her alo--

[Rishi] Please.

I'll do anything.

[foreboding music playing]

[whispers] Good boy.

[music fades]

[Charlie] Not much of a turnout for Rishi.

Well, he's a grown man who's been missing for a week.

There's not gonna be much media attention. Anything more from forensics?

Uh, yes, they found a laptop

in an old box of electronics in his garage.

Forensics said it will take them a while to get to it.

- So I thought I'd give it a shot. - Okay, great.

Oh. Um, Kat, there's a... there's a kid in reception.

Says he'll only talk to you.

- Why me? - [Nia] No idea.

[ominous music playing]

[phone ringing]

[voices over police radio]

- [people talking] - [music fades]

[gate beeps]

Hi.

I'm DI Donovan. How may I help you?

My name's Brendan, and, um, my mum's missing.

And you're the only one that can find her.

So you're Kat? [clears throat]

Detective Inspector Donovan is fine.

Do you wanna take a seat?

Okay.

So what's your mum's name?

- Uh, Dana. It's Dana Fells. - [Kat] How long has she been missing for?

Uh, it's been six days.

Yeah, she said she was going on a trip with her boyfriend. Um...

Is it Katy or Katherine?

Your full name.

What makes you think she's missing?

Well, I've tried calling her, and it keeps going straight to voicemail.

And where was she going?

It was some place in Costa Rica. Um...

Yeah, she said it was a surprise. I... I don't know where.

- But she said she'd call me every day. - How old are you?

I'm 19.

And you still need her to call you every day?

This was her first time going away with someone since my dad died.

And it... it was a good thing. I didn't... I obviously didn't want her to be alone.

You... you know what it's like to lose someone, right?

- [unsettling music playing] - I mean, your dad's dead, too, isn't he?

Mine died six years ago, and my mum hasn't been with anyone else since.

It's just me and her.

That's why she calls me every day.

That's how I know something is wrong.

She always calls.

Are you gonna help me?

[knocking on door]

We found something. Need you to take a look.

All right. I'll be back, okay? Two minutes. Stay there.

Hey. Um, so I copied Rishi's hard drive. It's not encrypted, so I'm already in.

Now, he changed his laptop six months ago,

so these are all the messages that we have... for now.

This is where I'm up to.

I think I've tracked down his mystery woman.

[Nia] Is that the woman he went to the cottage with?

[Charlie] Can't tell.

- So they met online? - [Nia] Doesn't everybody?

Vanessa... She have a surname?

No.

Let's try that number.

[keypad beeping]

[call failed tone]

[female voice] The number you dialed has been disconnected.

Right, get on to the network providers and see if we can trace her, okay?

Good work, Charlie.

[mysterious music playing]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

Okay, Rishi.

What's gonna happen is we're gonna call your bank

and you are gonna transfer £25,000 into this account number.

Okay?

[Rishi] And you'll leave Vanessa alone?

A few more days, a few more calls,

then yes.

And after all the money's been transferred,

we're gonna blindfold you, take you a long way from here,

and we'll let you go.

[tense music playing]

- [keypad clicking] - [ringing tone]

[ringing tone]

[female voice] Welcome to telephone banking.

What would you like to do today?

Make a payment.

[female voice] For security, please say, "My voice is my password."

My voice is my password.

[female voice] Authenticating voice.

Voice authenticated.

How much would you like to transfer?

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

Kat, can I have a word?

I'm sorry, Kat.

Monte Leburne died this morning.

The newspapers got hold of the story and just called for a comment.

Did you go and see him?

[Stagger] I know you asked me to, but...

You didn't go?

I couldn't just walk in there. It wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

Of course it would. Him going on record would've changed everything.

[Stagger] Everything he told you was a lie.

Just... one more twist of the knife so that he could go out with a smirk.

There was no point in me going.

[sighs]

Why don't you take the rest of the day off?

No, I need to work on this Rishi Magari case.

The appeal's only just gone live. It'll take time for leads to come back.

And I can take care of it.

[unsettling music playing]

Take some time.

[mysterious music playing]

- [music fades] - [women talking and laughing]

[upbeat music playing on stereo]

[women laughing]

- [woman 1] My knees are good! - [woman 2] Your knees are good.

[all laughing]

What's going on in here?

Flo has just passed her viva. She is officially a doctor!

- Oh! - [woman cheers]

[Kat] Congratulations.

- [Odette] Dr. Lees. - [Kat] Oh, all right.

- [Odette] Dr. Lees! - [woman laughs]

[Odette] All right, who wants more margaritas?

- Come on. All right. All right. - [woman] Margaritas!

[women laughing]

- [woman] Come on. You wanna take this on? - [Flo] Yeah, come on.

Mum.

It's all right, love.

I already know about Leburne.

A journalist came round a couple of hours ago.

Are you okay?

Every second he was breathing, it was like poison in the air.

He's gone now.

Air's fresh again.

Did you reach out to Josh yet?

I know you're going to.

[freezer drawer clunks]

[door closes]

You're not gonna let this go, are you?

Just because you love someone doesn't mean you always get to know every part of them.

God, we all make mistakes in relationships.

Doesn't mean he didn't love you.

Stagger called.

He's worried about you.

[knocking]

[women laughing]

Pizza time!

[women laughing]

[woman] Come on!

You know where we are.

[door closes]

[sinister music playing]

[Kat whispering] Jesus.

[floorboard creaks]

- [door bangs] - [Kat] Who's there?

- [frenetic music playing] - [Kat] Brendan!

[siren wails in distance]

[shouts] Brendan!

- [Brendan grunts] - [man] Oi!

Brendan!

[music continues]

[music slows]

[fast-paced music resumes]

[music fades]

Why were you in my flat? Brendan?

I told you.

[Kat] Told me what?

I was just trying to find my mum.

- And you thought she was in my cupboard? - Funny.

- I can arrest you. Do you know that? - Okay, go ahead!

[Kat sighs]

Brendan, your mum is fine. Okay?

What? You... you spoke to her?

No, but your aunt Clara got a text from her yesterday.

- She's in Costa Rica. - No.

- She's having fun. What do you mean, "no"? - No.

No.

You don't get it, all right?

Mum would never text Aunt Clara and not me.

Unless she was worried about the way you're acting.

You don't understand. The guy she went away with, he is...

What?

He's trouble.

Okay, I'm gonna need more than that.

You're not gonna like it.

Why do you say that?

This is her boyfriend.

[dramatic music playing]

[Brendan] You know him.

I saw photos of you two. You... you were engaged.

I thought you'd have an address or a number or something for him.

- That's why I was in your flat. - What the hell is this, Brendan?

I told you. I was...

My mum was moving on,

and I was happy for her.

And so she signs up for this dating app, and for the first few weeks, nothing much.

And then this guy starts with the charm, and Mum becomes obsessed.

She is messaging him all the time, and then she goes away with him.

Impulsive. Not like her.

And then, well, she just... she just disappears.

This is the guy she went away with.

I hacked into the app, and I saw your messages.

You talked to him like you knew him, so I thought you could help me find them.

Something is wrong, and it's him, I know it.

Look, I can't investigate where there's no evidence of a crime.

I'm sorry, Brendan.

So call me if you find anything new.

And try and stay out of my flat.

[pensive music playing]

[unsettling music playing]

- [music fades] - [bell tolling]

[dramatic music playing]

[echoes] I didn't kill him.

I was paid to take the fall.

[music fades]

[phone chimes]

[Stacey] Welcome to my office.

Smells fragrant in here.

You try living in a car for 14 hours.

I've been waiting for this cheating wife to come out all morning.

So? What did you find out about Josh?

I can't find him.

He is "gone" gone. Like, wiped-from-all-online-existence gone.

I'm sorry, Kat. I literally looked everywhere.

The only sign I could find of him in 11 years is that online dating profile,

which makes no sense.

No one works that hard to disappear without a good reason,

and then, if you have worked that hard,

why sign up online just to get some?

This boy, Brendan, came into the station,

and he says that Josh is dating his mum, Dana, and they went away last week.

Well, at least the profile's been working for him.

[chuckles] Josh wasn't perfect, but he wasn't... a cheater.

We're still talking about the same guy that abandoned you,

never ever to be seen again?

- You didn't know him. - Did you? Really?

The kid's suspicious of Josh.

He reported his mother missing,

but there is no evidence to suggest that there's anything wrong.

- Do we keep looking for him, then? - I need to know what Leburne told Josh.

That's the only way I'm gonna find out who really killed my dad.

I'll keep looking.

Lying, cheating men are my thing.

Can you send a picture of Josh to your prison-officer friend?

- See if she saw him at the prison-- - Yep. Sorry. Hang on a sec.

[camera clicking]

[chuckles]

Too easy.

[mysterious music playing]

[mysterious music continues]

[man] Ah, Calligan. Yeah, he kept us on our toes for years.

You know he grew up a couple of streets down from me and your dad?

Yep.

We used to hear this story about him.

He got sick once at school.

Wet himself in front of everyone. Well, you know what kids are like.

Didn't take long for the nicknames to stick.

You know how he stopped them?

He followed one of the bullies home after school one day.

Whacked him over the head with a claw hammer. Could've killed him.

Kid was only seven. Blood everywhere.

Cracked skull. Still can't see out of one eye.

- Bloody hell. - [man] Mm-hmm.

- Didn't know that. - No police report.

Kid said he didn't know who did it. No witnesses.

Calligan's mum swore blind he was at home polishing off his fish and chips.

But the names soon stopped after that.

This... Monte Leburne news.

I know it's gonna bring everything up, but

digging around after Calligan again isn't gonna help.

I think we need to look at Leburne's conviction again.

- Why did he suddenly confess? - You know why.

He killed a police officer.

The heat on Calligan's operation was ridiculous.

He had to throw us something.

So you actually believe that he hired Leburne to kill Dad?

It's over, Kat. I told you.

We covered everything.

The case against Monte Leburne was airtight.

But not Calligan.

[Kat chuckles]

Are you coming to my drinks later?

- Mm-hmm. - A man only retires once.

[door closes]

[phone rings]

- Hello? - Kat, it's Brendan.

- Brendan? How did you get this number? - [Brendan] Doesn't matter.

I checked my mum's bank cards.

There's only been one hit since she left,

but she took money from an ATM at 8:21 p.m. on Saturday, 9th March,

which is the day that she vanished.

But the ATM is from a petrol station in Parkchester.

So...

So we go to the airport via Whitestone Bridge.

Parkchester's ten miles the other way.

I don't know. Maybe she missed her turn?

[Brendan] Do you do that when you go to the airport?

You just drive ten miles the opposite direction?

God, you're such a smart arse, aren't you?

We need to look into this ATM charge. Can you check CCTV or something?

- Yeah, okay. I'll look into it. - [Brendan] Thanks. Bye.

Charlie, that woman, Dana Fells.

Her son says she made a cash withdrawal from an ATM at a petrol station...

- [phone chimes] - ...in Parkchester a week ago.

- [Charlie] Right. - [Kat] Um...

Can you search the CCTV and have a look?

Yeah, sure.

[mysterious music playing]

Right, I've gotta go.

You got ten minutes.

He's in here.

- [Tamsin] Hello again. - Stacey said that you could help me.

[slot machine clicks]

[drink pours]

Stacey asked if I was on duty when your Josh Buchanan popped in.

Do you remember him?

A hottie like that?

Course.

It's enough to make a girl start picking out wedding rings.

Mm-hmm. And what do you remember?

What did he speak about with Leburne?

I wasn't in the room with them, but

your police-officer mate should know.

A police officer went in with Josh?

Of course. How else do you think the journalist got in?

Do you know who the officer was?

Guy from your station.

Name's Detective Stagger.

[sinister music playing]

[tense, pulsing music playing]

- [Nia] Kat! - Mm-hmm?

[Nia] He's already at the Askia.

Khol's leaving do?

Course he is.

No worries.

[pulsing music continues]

[music fades]

[Stagger] This station has seen a lot of changes

in the years since I've been there.

But Terrence Khol, you've been one of our constants.

You've been, uh, a roof over our heads to keep us upright.

Uh, not least when we lost one of our own.

You pulled the team together. You dug in.

You worked on one of the most important cases of your life day in and day out

to bring justice for Clint Donovan.

And for that, we will all be eternally grateful.

Terry Khol, everyone.

[cheering]

[applause continues]

- Do you mind if I... - Yeah, no, go for it.

You know, a, uh... a person's crisp packet of choice

tells you a lot about them.

And, um,

what flavor are you?

Oh, no. Ladies first.

Well, that is, um... That's surprising.

[Nia chuckles]

I like to keep a man guessing.

Huh.

[laughs]

How vanilla!

I mean, I could've guessed it.

- [chains rattle] - [man grunts]

[sighs with frustration]

[tense music playing]

[Rishi whispers] Yeah.

[grunts]

- [grunts] Yes! - [metal snaps]

Rishi Magari's accounts are all frozen.

The police must've worked something out.

So number eight is done.

Deal with him.

- [man groans] - [frenetic music playing]

[tense music playing]

[music intensifies]

- [shovel clangs] - [music stops]

- [people chatting] - [music playing in bar]

[Kat] Mm-hmm.

[music continues]

I'm gonna come back.

[Kat] Stagger!

Stagger!

Why'd you take Josh to see Leburne in prison?

I know you're getting on a bit, but it's a strange thing to forget.

- I didn't forget. - So why didn't you tell me?

- You had all this time. - [door closes]

What was the point?

Josh left.

Why did you take him to see Monte Leburne?

Josh's boss got it into his head

that... Josh could somehow use his personal connection

to get access to Leburne

and get them some big investigative scoop.

No.

No, there's no way he would've... he would've visited him

just to get some scoop for his career.

- I'd never forgive him for that. - Which, I'm guessing, is why he left.

Because he couldn't live with himself for doing it.

Why did you take him?

I thought maybe...

maybe he would be the one to finally get Leburne to talk.

I just wanted to get answers about Clint.

And did you?

No. The whole thing was for nothing.

I didn't think that telling you what we'd done would help.

I am sorry.

[door opens]

[door closes]

How did you really get into the prison to see Leburne?

'Cause I checked, and I know that he didn't call you, so

how did you get to see him?

What did you do, Kat?

Please tell me it was by the book.

[Kat] Okay, look, I didn't go through the official channels.

Okay. You are gonna take a break.

No, I'm not. I'm fine. I need to work.

[Stagger] Mental-health break, whatever you wanna call it.

- No one will think less of you. - I'm not taking a fucking break!

[Stagger] Kat, you conned your way into a prison.

[Kat] You're suspending me?

I can't have you in the station right now.

I don't know what you're gonna do next.

If you carry on like this, you'll ruin your whole career.

I'm not asking you. I am telling you. You're out.

Get yourself together.

[tense music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Charlie] Huh.

Look at this.

This is the CCTV Kat wanted. That's Dana Fells, right?

Um... Let's see.

Yeah.

Yeah, looks like it.

[Charlie] So there's our missing mum.

[dramatic music continues]

[cell phone keypad beeping]

[ringing tone, call connects]

We need to tell her.

[water running]

[music intensifies]

[sinister music playing]

My mum is missing.

She always calls.

Something is wrong.

[sinister music intensifies]

[music ends]

[bell tolls]
