All language subtitles for Strike (2017) Season 6 Episode 4- Episode 4 - PrimeWire

Hello, Bluey. Jago's
going to ruin me.

Ruining you is just
a bit of extra fun.

They're dragging me into their
bloody divorce over nothing!

What did she want?

Me to dig up dirt on Jago
to force him to back off.

Have you heard of
The Ink Black Heart?

It's a TV show, isn't it?
It started out as a cartoon.

Me and Josh, my
ex-boyfriend, made it.

One of the fans is
stalking me online.

They use the name Anomie.

Isn't this the girl we
had in here a while back?

Edie Ledwell, yeah.

She's been murdered.

Find out who Anomie is.

Anomie's claiming he killed
Edie and the Halvening's

taking credit as well.

Is there any evidence that
the Halvening killed Edie?

Well, we know the killer used
a Taser on Edie and Josh.

The Halvening use
high-quality latex disguises

and materials for making bombs.

We should sign up
for Drek's Game.

If Anomie's active
and you can see

your suspect's not on a computer

or on a phone, we
can rule them out.

I wrote her a letter.

Katya wrote it down for me
and put it in her coffin.

Did they mention the
letters? Why do you say that?

I had a similar
call. My one said,

"Look at the letters
in Edie's coffin."

Here's a list of everyone
I can remember being around

from when they were making
their first episode.

Are you going to come back?

We'd like to, but your
mum seems pretty busy.

Well, that's because
she's always with Josh.

She goes wherever he is.

The other creator is called
Morehouse. Is that right?

Yeah, he's got close with
this other mod, Paperwhite.

She sent him nudes.

She sent them to all
the mods who are guys.

He thought I was a guy for ages.

I need a name, Rachel.

His name's Vikas Bhardwaj. He
was my best friend in the game.

Did Vikas talk
about a girlfriend?

There's a girl that
he talks to online.

Goes by Paperwhite?

SHE SCREAMS

♪ You and me

♪ Me and you

♪ Somehow, we made it through

♪ I may be gone

♪ I may be far away

♪ But I'll walk beside you

♪ Every step of the way

♪ When you're used

♪ Bruised

♪ Black and blued

♪ Don't think about it

♪ Never doubt it

♪ I'll walk beside you. ♪

So, you're saying before you came
here, you packed skeleton keys.

I didn't pack them for
the purpose of this visit.

They were in the car.
We went and got them

when we realised we needed them.
Are you aware of the laws regarding

people carrying lock-picking
kits? Yes, I am. Are you?

Should we talk
about Dr Bhardwaj?

Is the phrase "going equipped
to steal" familiar to you?

Thanks for your
message. Shall we?

Er, we're all done here, sir.

Thank you.

So, Vikas Bhardwaj was one of
the creators of Drek's Game?

Yes, known as Morehouse.

Have you got any idea how
long he's been dead for?

Roughly 24 hours.

There are loads of
these in the building.

The killer must have been
desperate to risk it.

How do you reckon the odds
of him wearing a latex mask?

Got nothing dodgy, but here's Dr
Bhardwaj coming back to his room.

Thing is, we've got him
leaving his room an hour later,

and that's all we can find.

Don't see how he gets
back to his room again

when that corridor's
the only access.

That isn't Vikas
going in and out.

That's the killer
in a latex mask.

And that's not
Vikas' wheelchair.

Look, the hand rims
and the armrests.

Someone probably held the front
door for him, like they did us.

It's not the Halvening.

It's Anomie, using the
Halvening's methods.

When he killed Edie, he
wanted to set them up.

This time, he's using the same
methods because he knows they work.

We're about to
arrest the Halvening.

We've identified a dozen of
them, including Wally Cardew

and the man who
attacked you in the pub.

We can look to see whether
Anomie's connected to them.

Not connected. He used them.

That's why they went looking
for him in Comic-Con Live.

They wanted to kill him.

Vikas and his girlfriend were
making plans to visit us.

Anomie will be going
after her next.

We need to find her.

Do you have her details? Just
her player name in Drek's Game.

Paperwhite. OK.

Ta.

I could try talking to
Paperwhite in the game.

She just needs to call
us, or the police.

Does she play every day?

She's in there most days, yeah.

KEYBOARD CLACKS

Oh, by the way, Jago Ross's
daughter put on Instagram

something about going
to Kent this weekend.

I think I should be there.

OK. Thank you.

The divorce hearing
is next week.

LAPTOP CHIMES I'm in.

Paperwhite's here.

I'll open a private
chat with her.

KEYBOARD CLACKS

Hey, Paperwhite, can we talk?

I'll cut straight to it.

You need to call the police.

Why?

Vikas is dead.

Anomie killed him.

Don't troll me.

I chatted to him
yesterday and...

You've been banned!

She was halfway
through typing a reply.

Anomie must be monitoring
private conversations.

It's his game, he's
a control freak.

He'll have designed it that way.

At least Paperwhite
knows about Vikas.

I'm not sure she believed me.

No, but she'll want to
check in with Morehouse,

and when he's not in the game,
she'll take it seriously.

We've got to find
some way to warn her.

Could we ask Rachel Ledwell
to talk to Paperwhite?

They're not that close. We could
try Yasmin Weatherhead, though.

She's a moderator, like Rachel.

Let's do that.

You're in early.

So are you.

In case you hadn't noticed,
we're very busy at the moment.

We'd be lost without you, Pat.

Cup of tea? Yeah.

You look like you
could use a whole pot.

Are we interested in helping find
"Merlin's true burial place"?

They're offering to share the
treasure, in lieu of payment.

Stick it on the "maybe" pile.

Huh!

Oh, could you get me Yasmin
Weatherhead's address? Yeah.

She's not answering her phone.

BEEPING

Get down!

ALARMS BLARE

GRUNTING AND COUGHING

Oh.

The package started hissing.

Are you OK?

Stay there.

Police?

I'm at the Strike Detective
Agency on Denmark Street.

We've been sent a parcel bomb.

HE COUGHS

Yeah, yeah, we're fine.

They're already on their way.
Someone else called it in.

I've left my e-cig in there.

You can't go in there, half
the ceiling's come down.

CRASHING

There's the rest
of it. SIRENS WAIL

Excuse me. Sorry, excuse me.

That's my office up
there. I work there.

It's OK. It's OK.
Let her through.

Look, they're OK.

They're in a coffee shop.

I'm really sorry. We rounded up
most of the Halvening this morning,

including the bomb maker,

but this one got through before
we grabbed him. Oh, my God.

I'll show you where they are.

Can you take her round to the coffee
shop? Yeah, sure. See you later.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Are you all right? She got my
door shut before it went off.

Saved us both. You're
a bloody marvel.

And you make a very
good fruit cake.

There's going to be a
conversation about a raise.

It'll be a short conversation.

Hmm. Do you need to stay
here to talk to the police?

No, we've done all that.

So, what's the damage?

His bedroom fell on my desk.

That sofa turns into a sofa bed.

You can stay at mine.

Thanks.

I'm going to go and
see Yasmin Weatherhead.

We've got to find Paperwhite
before Anomie does.

One of us should stay here.

Thank you.

Sorry, I'm busy. Obviously,
you know who I am.

You can't come in, my parents
are out... You're an adult.

And either you talk to me, or your
mum and dad are going to come home

to find the police
tearing their house apart.

So what's it going to
be? You can't do that.

That's a breach of my rights.
I've just been blown up...

for the second time
in my life, so...

I'm not going to argue with you.

LINE RINGS

Right, five minutes,
and then you have to go.

I don't know if
you've heard the news.

13 members of a far-right
group have just been arrested.

I don't know
anything about that.

The Halvening. Not had
any dealings with them?

Never. I'm Antifa.

You took information from
a member of the Halvening

and you passed it
on to Josh Blay.

Yeah, I was trying to help Josh.

You started a chain of events
that led to Edie's murder.

Your friend, Vilepechora,

likes to send bombs
to left-wing women.

I thought he was an actor.

I went to his play, and
when I told him who I was,

he just walked off like I was
a crazy person, all right?

They lied to me too!

I'm going to give
you another chance,

but if you mess around,
if you lie to me,

I'm not just going
to call the police,

I'm going to take all
the information I have

and give it to every single Ink
Black Heart forum I can find.

Forget your book.

For the rest of your life, you'll
be Yasmin Weatherhead, literal Nazi.

I want to know who Anomie is,
where I can find Paperwhite.

You're still playing Drek's
Game, Anomie talks to you.

What's he been telling
you? No, he'd kill me.

Well, he might. Morehouse just
got his throat slit in Cambridge.

That's not true. Vikas
Bhardwaj. Look him up.

It's in your interest to
help me catch him, Yasmin.

He's been making me play as him.

Like, in the game.

He tells me when to log
in and play as Anomie.

You've been helping him set
up alibis for his murders.

How long have you
been doing that?

For... for ages.

Since Edie died.

Do you know anything
about Anomie?

No. No, I swear on my life.

What about Paperwhite?

I don't know who she is.

You told my partner she'd sent some
photos of herself to some people.

Yeah, only the guys.

Who are the male moderators?

The only one left is Fiendy.

OK.

You need to call DCI Murphy.

That's his card. Tell him
everything you told me.

If Anomie contacts you
with any more instructions,

you call me straight away.

You know how to find me.

Do I... do I keep
playing the game?

Yeah, you'll have to. Otherwise,
he'll know something's up.

I'll see myself out.

Call Murphy now.

HE GROANS

Ah!

Hi, this is Rachel,
leave a message.

Hi, Rachel, it's Robin Ellacott.

I remember you saying
that you let people online

think your Fiendy
character was a guy.

Well, we've been told that
a lot of the male moderators

were sent a picture
of Paperwhite,

and I was just wondering
if there's any chance

that you've been sent one too.

And even if you deleted it, please
could you check your deleted folder

and see if you've still got
it? It's really important.

I'd really appreciate
it. Thank you, bye.

Why do you assume
she deleted it?

I don't. I, er... I think
she might have kept it.

I just... I'm giving her a way
to admit she's still got it,

without making her
feel uncomfortable.

You deserve a pay
rise as well. Ha!

Are you all right, Pat?

Does this happen to you a lot?

Well, not usually in the office.

PHONE CHIMES

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi, Nicole. Hi. I'm Robin.

Come in. Thanks for seeing us.

Er, can my dad sit in?

Er, some of what we want to ask
you might be a bit intimate.

Oh, I don't care
about any of that.

SHE GIGGLES

Yeah, that's definitely me.

How did you get this?

In Drek's Game, you're friends
with a player called Morehouse,

is that right?
What's Dreg's Game?

Drek's Game.

Based on The Ink Black Heart.

Oh, right. Yeah,
I've heard of that.

I was never really into it.

You're saying you've
never played Drek's Game?

Definitely not.

Does the name Paperwhite
mean anything to you?

Are they using my picture as
part of the game or something?

Oh, great! Dad, I
didn't give it to them!

But you did take it. Yes, for
my boyfriend! No-one else.

Could I ask who
your boyfriend is?

My ex-boyfriend, Marcus.

But he wouldn't have
shared it with anyone.

He could have had
his phone stolen.

Well, he didn't have his phone
stolen, and neither have I.

I doubt I've even got
that photo any more.

I hope he's kept it. I look hot.

Oh, for God's sake!

Marcus was a drama student.

He was surrounded by actresses.

I had to give him
something to think about.

He would never share them. He's not
that guy, and we're still mates.

Does Marcus have a flatmate?

He lives with his sister.

Darcy's a few years older
than him and she's lovely.

Why would she want to
show anyone that picture?

Could we have Marcus' details?

Oh, you're not going to
be mean to him, are you?

Give them his damn number!
Come on! Don't be like that!

This is one for the memoirs.

Someone has gone catfishing
with MY pictures.

What? Oh, come on, Dad, even you
must have heard of catfishing.

Someone has been
pretending to be me

to get someone else
to fall for them.

Have you ever spoken
to, or messaged with,

or had any communication
with a Dr Vikas Bhardwaj?

OK, wait.

Yeah, here it is.

He follows me on Twitter.

He always liked my tweets.

Did you chat with him? No.

I didn't really understand
why he was following me.

I only post art stuff
on that account,

and he's, like, a
scientist, right?

He was. He's dead.

Dead, as in...?

Murdered. In Cambridge.

So, this guy, Vikas,

the reason he liked
all Nicole's tweets

was because he thought he was
in a relationship with her?

Is that what you're saying?
It would appear that way, yes.

Is my daughter in danger?
Not that I know of,

but it would be best if you
didn't discuss this with anyone.

I looked at some of
the stuff Vikas posted.

He seemed like a sweet guy.

I hope that I didn't... You
didn't do anything wrong.

We're going to catch
the person who did.

I didn't get banned for
talking to Paperwhite, did I?

I was talking to
Anomie all along.

Anomie created Paperwhite
to keep tabs on Vikas

because he doesn't trust anyone.

He gave Vikas someone
to fall in love with,

so that he'd know
what he was thinking.

It was Paperwhite who suggested
they get in touch with us.

As soon as Vikas agreed,

Anomie knew his friend couldn't
be trusted, so he killed him.

So brutal.

Are you OK? I saw the
bombing on the news. Yeah.

I'm fine, though.

So, are you coming over to mine?

No, I've checked into a hotel.

So sorry, this
bed's actually tiny!

You fucking dick! SHE HANGS UP

Yeah, fair play.

You can smoke, if
you open a window.

I'm going to try and
give this a proper go.

How do you know
when they're done?

What do you mean? What's
the equivalent of smoking it

down to the butt? Oh.

Maybe they've run out of
battery. You'll have to ask Pat.

Who was your phone call?

Nobody important.

My mum's been on the
phone twice already.

The bombing's been on the news.

How's she taking it?

Oh, you know, she
thinks I should go home.

You can, erm... You can
have a drawer, if you want.

Oh, it's OK. I'll have to find
a place for myself anyway.

You letting me stay
here is more...

You can stay for as
long as you like.

I never use the sofa anyway,

I'm always working. Thanks.

Joan was very specific about the
right size for a roast potato.

Really? Used to drive me mad.

Well, erm, feel free to
do it any way you like.

Too late for that.

Aah...

Can I borrow your laptop?
Mine was in the office.

Er, yeah.

What are you going to do?
Everyone we've cleared of using

Drek's Game is back in,
thanks to Yasmin Weatherhead.

The only thing we've really
got is Nicole Crystal's photo.

If she's right and it is
nowhere else on the internet,

then either Anomie's
nicked it off her phone

or he's got it off her
ex-boyfriend, Marcus.

I'm following up with him today.

Right, I, er... Oh.

I'd better go. Be
careful of Jago Ross.

He's an arsehole. Yeah, I will.

It's not just his first wife and
their children he's beaten up.

He's hit other women.

Charlotte told me. When?

Back when she first
started seeing him.

If she knew that about
him, why did she marry him?

She thought I'd come galloping
into church to save her.

Their kids are worth saving.

Er, I'll keep my distance.

Absolutely no point
having it that low.

Don't be such a bloody coward!

Seriously!

No, Daddy, that's too high.
There we are. It's too high,

she can't do it. It's not too
high. Of course she can do that.

What are you talking about? It's
too high, she can't do it...

Don't answer me back!
You are pathetic!

Get in the house, now!

Daddy, I can't, it's too high!

She can't! Use the bloody whip
on him, then! It's too high!

Come on! HORSE NEIGHS

Argh! Ah!

My leg! My leg!

Oh, get up!

No, stay down!

Stay down! Who
the fuck are you?!

I-I think she's broken her leg!

I'll call an
ambulance. Go and...

Go and get a blanket!

GIRL SOBS You're OK.

You'll be OK.

My leg!

What are you staring at?

I need an ambulance, please.

JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS

Your mother will come
and meet you in hospital,

pick your sister up from here. I
need to get back to London, OK?

Marcus speaking. Marcus,
it's Cormoran Strike.

Did Nicole mention I might call?

She did, yeah.

I just want to say I'd never
share pics of Nic or anyone else.

That's scumbag behaviour.

I believe you, but can I
ask you some questions?

Sure, sure. Anything.

Have you or your sister ever
been into The Ink Black Heart?

No, not at all.

It's not bad, but
it's not my thing.

If they offer me a part in their
movie, it's a different story.

You've never had grief
from any of the fans?

Why would I? I
recognised one of them

being rude in the comments
section of your Twitter.

Er, I mean, that's just
social media, right?

Someone's going to hate
you, just because you exist.

I have to be there
because I'm an actor

and casting people take that stuff
seriously, but it's a cesspit.

You can ask my sister. She's
deleted all her accounts.

Yeah, some dickhead posted
her private details on Reddit

and called her a
"criminal bitch".

She had strangers writing to
our parents to call her a whore.

It was fucked up.

What was going on in her life
when that happened to her?

Nothing. It was out of the blue.

We were both in
London, studying.

I was doing drama
school, she was at RGM.

I don't know. She's
nice to everybody.

She was gutted about it.

Deleted everything and
cried for about a month.

As soon as we find out who's
responsible, we'll let you know.

Thanks, man.

I'll kill them myself if you
throw me a name and address.

Be in touch.

VEHICLE APPROACHING

Give me your camera. No.

You've been trespassing.

Right to Roam. Sometimes,
people get lost.

No need for a performance,
your camera's off now.

Hand it over,
before you get hurt.

I know exactly who you are. Your
Cormoran Strike's little bitch.

Big day for you.

Why don't you take a break from
hurting women and go fuck yourself?

Argh! Agh!

Oh, ugh!

PHONE CHIMES

It's too high, she can't do it.

Don't answer me back!

You are pathetic!

Get in the house, now!

Daddy, I can't, it's too high.

Use the bloody
whip on him, then!

Aah... PANTING

Had some work done?

I suppose none of us
are getting any younger.

Let's get this over with.

I've settled with her.

Corm.

What are you doing here?

And the Oscar for
Best Actress...

I didn't know he was
coming, actually.

Jago's just offered to avoid
court, and I'm being given

an extra 200,000. 199 for
James and 1,000 for Mary.

Oh, is a girl even worth
that? I don't know.

Not if she takes after
her mother. Ha-ha.

It's my final offer, and I'm only
making it to spare my children

having to read about
their mother in future.

Now, what about you? I want my
agency kept out of your shitshow.

That's all.

What about the video?

What video? We've got footage
of Jago forcing his daughter

to attempt a jump that
resulted in serious injury.

We've also got him hitting
his older daughter.

Your ex-wife has
seen the footage

and is considering
filing for sole custody.

Needless to say, we'll
keep the originals.

If my name comes up in
court, or at any other time,

the tabloids will be
sent copies as well.

I never slept with
your wife, Jago.

You should know how
she works by now.

Don't ever contact me again.

Either of you.

BEEPING Corm!

Thank you. I didn't do it
for you. I did for myself.

And his daughters.

Don't kid a kidder,
Bluey. LIFT DINGS

Look, I'm free of him now,

and you and Madeline are over
with, so let's celebrate.

Let's have a drink.

Please.

It'll probably end up being
joint custody, thanks to you,

so there'll be plenty of time where
it's just you and me together.

Are you not going
for full custody?

I mean, I can if you want me to.

Goodbye, Charlotte.

PANTING

PHONE RINGS

Robin Ellacott.

PHONE RINGS

The footage is perfect.

That whole problem is over.

Thank you. I just got a call
diverted from the office.

It was, erm... It
was a death threat.

Where are you? I'm at
the flat. Where are you?

You need to get out of there.

Go to a hotel.

But they've arrested the Halvening.
Only the ones they know about.

No, I'm better off here. The door's
double-locked, the alarm's on.

I mean, if they're outside, hoping
that I'll panic and run, then...

So call a cab, ask
for a male driver,

tell him you need
help with your bags.

I mean, it's probably just
someone trying to scare me.

They're fucking terrorists!
Everything they do

is supposed to scare
the shit out of people!

And if it's not the Halvening,

if it's Anomie... Can you
just stop shouting at me?!

Listen to me.

I'll come and get you.

Aah! What just happened?

Ah, nothing.

It's your leg, isn't it?

Will you forget about me?!

All right, Cormoran,
I will call a taxi.

I will get a male driver,
everything you said. I'll, erm...

Meet me at the Z Hotel.

Your muscles are very tight.

The hamstring's gone before.

If I could just get
some painkillers.

I have tried to
lose weight, but...

Yeah? What's your poison?

Curry and beer?

Yeah.

You're good at this.

At the very least, you've
damaged your ligaments.

You'll have to keep weight
off it for four to six weeks.

Ice packs, elevation. I'm
sure you know the drill.

Can you raise the leg for me?

Has it done that before?

It used to spasm
after the amputation,

but it stopped
after a few months.

How long ago was the amputation?

Seven years. IED in Afghanistan.

OK, you can get
dressed again. Thanks.

It's, erm, unusual for myoclonus

to start up again like
this. I'm getting older,

everything's falling apart.

Are you under a lot of stress?

No more than usual.

Look, you've got other
patients to see...

You're my patient now, and this
is relevant to your treatment.

I just need some
painkillers. Decent ones.

I can give you a week's worth, but
they're not going to fix anything.

You need to work on
a proper recovery.

Hey. How did you get on?

I think I know
who it is. Anomie?

He used the same
trick to go after

Kea Niven and Darcy Bernard.

Hated them enough
to get careless.

Now, there's work to be
done to make that stick.

Grant Ledwell lied to us.

We need to get the truth out
of him. He's agreed to see us.

Are you OK? I've asked Barclay
to talk to Darcy Bernard.

I don't want to
scare anyone off,

but we don't have enough time
to cover it all ourselves.

Anomie knows we're closing in.

If he thinks he's about to get
caught, I'm worried he'll go out

like his hero. Who's his hero?

Marc Lepine.

Killed 14 women and
blamed feminism.

Anomie had several accounts.

He uses the name Lepine's Disciple
for one of them. Oh, yeah,

I remember that one. He, erm... He
sent a question to Josh and Edie.

He asked if they were a couple.

Any woman who hurts Anomie's
feelings gets destroyed.

Kea Niven and Darcy
Bernard are two of them.

I'm sure there's
more. Is that for me?

Yes. Thank you.

I need to lie down.
Do you want me to...?

I've got it! I've got it!

Here.

I'm worried about you.

You don't need to be.

Apart from anything, how
would you defend yourself...?

You're saying I'm a dead weight
in my own agency? No, that is not

what I'm saying. No,
don't twist my words.

You would never let someone else
out on a job in your condition.

Ever. It's my decision.

Oh, for Christ's sake!

I don't want to lose you...

and the more you keep pushing
yourself, the more likely that is.

Look, I...

I didn't want to say anything, but
you're in pain all the time now.

And if you won't hear it from a
friend, then you need to hear it

from your business partner.

I'll sort myself out.

I'm trying.

Just let me get through this.

PHONE RINGS

Hi, Barclay. I'm here.

Darcy will be back from
work in about an hour.

Try not to scare her.

I'll be on my best
behaviour, don't you worry.

Lovely house.

Cheers, but, er,
we're not staying.

Decided to go back to Oman.

Better schools,
plenty of sunshine,

and nobody watches
bloody Ink Black Heart.

They've got most of
the internet blocked,

which I reckon is a good thing.

Now, come on, what's the update?

We're 90% sure we know who Anomie
is. Well, 90% is good enough for me.

We can't act on it
until it's proven.

Well, come on, who is it?

Thing is, we're missing
a key piece of evidence,

but I'm hoping you can
help us with that. Me?

The call you had with Edie, the one
where she said she thought Josh Blay

was trying to push her
out, when was that?

Last year, sometime.
Could you be more precise?

June.

Edie rang you on your
mobile number? Yeah.

When was the last time you'd
spoken before that call?

Sorry, how's this
relevant? It's relevant.

I'm just going to go
and check on Heather.

Might need a bit of
good cop, bad cop.

How bad do you want me to be?

Don't be afraid to
call me a prick.

I'm going to have to go and help
with kids' bedtime soon, so, erm...

Not a problem, we'll be quick.

Have you had any more
calls about digging up Edie

and looking at those letters? No,
just the two I told you about.

The first one to Heather
and the second one was me.

So, was it Anomie doing that?

No, it wasn't.

Did they say which letter
to look at in particular?

Just said to look at them.

The thing is, when you
told me about the call,

you didn't say anything
about the letters.

You just told me
the caller said,

"Dig up Edie Ledwell".

Why would you leave
out the letters?

Well, his niece had
just been murdered.

Thank you. Exactly.

Then later on, you told me you
drove over to give the undertaker

"the sodding thing", singular.

It implies you just gave
him one letter, not two.

Yeah, well, like your partner
says, I've been grieving,

so if I got mixed up... So, when
the police ask the undertaker,

will he say he put one
letter in the coffin, or two?

Well, why would the
police ask him that?

Because it's a murder case,

and people who lie
tend to get caught out.

Cormoran! You're making it out like
Mr Ledwell's done something wrong,

which is clearly not the case.

I'm so sorry. Everything
you've been through,

it must have been really tough.

Yeah, it's been bloody tough.

And I really don't see
what difference it makes

what went into the coffin.

Would you admit that you did
put one letter in the coffin?

No, I'm asking how
this is relevant.

The police have looked at the
phone records, including yours.

You never had a phone call
with Edie about Josh Blay

or anything else. We weren't
supposed to tell him that.

It's standard procedure.

It doesn't imply that the
police think you're guilty.

I have done nothing.

We've established that Edie
never called you about Josh.

In fact, there's no evidence
that Josh or Katya Upcott

ever tried to push Edie out,
but you clearly think otherwise,

and I think there's
a reason for that.

He's not going after you, Grant.

He just needs to know the truth.

There was other
circumstantial evidence.

Can I get you chaps some crisps?

Grant was just telling us how he
didn't put the letter in the coffin.

Oh, you've told
them? That's good...

Shut up. It's good that
you've told him to come clean,

because withholding evidence in
a murder case... Er, he's not

withholding evidence, Cormoran.

This is his niece
we're talking about.

He was well within his rights
to open that letter and read it.

That's what I told him. Go
and put the kids to bed!

I'm not admitting
to reading them,

and I'm not admitting
to keeping any of them.

So you did keep it.

That's good.

That's good.

Grant, you do need to
give us that letter.

It was disgusting,
what Josh wrote.

And shame on Katya
for writing it down.

I would never have buried
Edie with that bit of filth!

Could you go and get the
letter for us now, please?

We have a great relationship
with the police.

We'll make sure you're
well looked after.

Nicole said someone stole
photos off my brother's phone.

It might be the same person who put
your details on that Reddit page.

Yeah, that wasn't great.

Look, I can't make
any promises, Darcy,

but can I show you some photos of
people that we've been looking at,

see if you recognise anyone?

Oh, God.

It's him.

You've got to be pretty
sick to write that.

Go on. You read it.

"You told me I'm just like you.

"You made me think you loved me,

"then dropped me
like a piece of shit.

"If you'd have lived, you'd
have used and tortured more men

"for kicks, spitting them
out once you were bored.

"You were an arrogant,
despicable bitch,

"and I want these words
to rot beside you.

"Look up from Hell and watch

"while I take control of The
Ink Black Heart forever."

People think that Josh
and Katya are harmless.

They've got no fucking idea.

I've got a photo of that
list that Katya gave us.

The handwriting's completely
different to Katya's.

PHONE RINGS

Hi, Barclay. We're
just in the car.

Did you get anything
from Darcy Bernard?

She made a positive ID.

She invited him to a party,

out of pity, basically.

Then he got pissed off when he
found out she had a boyfriend.

She says he sat on the sofa
until most people had gone,

then he tried to jump
her in the bathroom.

Her brother had to wade
in and kick him out.

Did she confirm how they met?

Yeah, it's like you reckoned.
He was a few years below her.

I called the Royal Guild of
Music to ask them to, you know,

pretend to check a reference.
Turns out he hasn't submitted work

in a year. He's told them
he's been in hospital.

When did you call them?

About half an hour ago.
Thank you, Barclay.

Phone me the number.

It's important the college
doesn't contact his family.

I'm sorry to say that I've
already spoken to his father.

Is that a problem?

I'll deal with it.
Thank you for your time.

It's Langborne Road, number 11.

The postcode is NW3 6MC.

That's North West, three,
six, Mike, Charlie.

OK, thank you. If
his dad confronts him

about college, he'll
know it's over.

We just have to hope
he's not at home.

He's always at home, though.

How long before the police
arrive? At least five minutes.

Hi. Yeah, we're just
pulling into the road now,

so I'm going to go and try
and contact the family.

OK, I'm putting the
phone down now. Bye.

TYRES SCREECH

PHONE LINE RINGS

They're not answering.
Nothing we can do.

Wait for the police.

What are you doing?

Don't be a fucking idiot!

WOMAN SCREAMING Robin! Robin!

Please, help!

Help me!

Robin! Please, someone!

Robin!

Help me, please!

Strike!

No!

Argh!

I'll fucking kill you!

Someone help!

Flavia!

ALARM BLARES

Rape alarm?

That's a great idea!

Some women...

they fantasise about it.

Ha-ha!

Go on, then.

Give it your best shot.

ALARM BLARES

Argh!

Flavia?! I'm up here!

LOCK CLICKS

Help your mum. OK.
Press down hard.

Argh!

You fucking whore!

If you get a chance
to run, do it.

Take off your fucking clothes,

or I'll make you watch
me cut their heads off!

Gus!

Put the knife down, son.

He's... he's stabbed his mother.

We need to call an ambulance.

Get off me! I've
already done that.

He stabbed someone else
downstairs. Get off me! Calm down.

Stay still, Gus. Argh!

You fucking bitch!

Get the fuck off me!

Punctured lung.

What...? Don't talk.

You got the door open.

Even after...

SIRENS APPROACH

Thank you.

They're here.

Just focus on holding on.

Robin...

Huh?

I...

I...

Hi.

How are you?

I'm lucky, compared to Josh.

And I know I have to be
strong, because he'll need me.

Flavia needs you
more than anyone.

They both do.

SHE SIGHS My poor Inigo.

He loved us so much and
Gus couldn't see it.

Did... did I let Gus down?

I feel like I must have done.

Yeah, I must have.

I came in earlier,
but you were, erm...

On a lot of morphine.

They've reduced it.

I can understand how
people get used to it.

I've brought you

nicotine patches... Mm.

And a flask of tea.

And Pat made you
another fruit cake.

Always liked that woman.

You can chuck that in the bin.

We broke up. Oh.

I'm sorry. I'm not.

What did the police find?

In Gus's room? Yeah,
well, latex masks,

a Taser, knives.

All hidden under
the floorboards.

He played a recording of cello
practice to keep his parents

off his back while
he played the game.

Was he bugging them? Yeah. Mm.

He bugged the living room,
and every conversation

Katya and Josh had,
he recorded it.

And they found the letter from
Josh to Edie, the real one.

And Flavia saw Gus swap it
for the one he'd written.

Yeah. How did you know?

Could have only been her making
those calls about Edie's coffin.

Yeah, she used a
voice-change app.

She was terrified that Gus had
found out she'd told someone.

I think she's the only
one in the Upcott family

who had any sense
of what Gus was.

Clever girl.

If I hadn't gone in the
house, you wouldn't...

If you hadn't gone in, Gus
would have killed Katya

and Flavia before
the police got there.

If I'd have known you were
going to follow me in...

I'll always follow you in.

Been to the office yet?

Erm, no, not yet.

I'm going to go
in this afternoon.

I've asked for some changes.

Hot-pink walls? Mm!

Leopard-skin
carpets. SHE CHUCKLES

No, I finally sorted
something out.

It's an improvement.

Oh.

I'd better get going, then.

If you're up for it, you
could come back later.

I've got fruit cake
and nicotine patches.

We can make an evening of it.
Erm, well, actually... Ahem.

I can't tonight,
because I've, erm...

Er, I'm going on a date.

DCI Murphy asked me out.

Seems like a decent bloke.

Can I come back tomorrow?

Yeah.

Great.

See you tomorrow, then.

Mm.
