London Kills (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
Subtitles by explosiveskull
Yeah.
Uh, police, please.
There's something by the river.
I think it's a body.
What's the boss doing here?
Could be his wife.
Same general description.
Boss.
Wait.
Hold up.
Why don't you stay here, eh?
Stab wound?
Kitchen knife maybe.
Someone else's tragedy.
First impressions?
Perfect dump site.
Close enough to park up.
Not too overlooked.
She was found really easily.
I think this was done
in a rush.
She was wrapped up
in this sheeting.
Weighted down with these...
from a garden, probably.
The rope wasn't tied well,
so it's come loose.
What does this tell you?
Billie?
Probable cause of death,
a stab wound to the upper chest,
but no hole in the clothing,
so she was dressed postmortem.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, the engraving
on the necklace,
that could help us track down
who ordered it.
Maybe we can find out
the victim's I.D. that way.
Take a while to search through
all the jewelers.
No, there's no need.
It's a Monica Vareesi.
You can tell by
their trademark adjustable chain
and the initials on the clasp.
Trademark adjustable chain, eh?
I've got a thing for expensive
jewelry I can't afford.
Lack of decomp
would suggest the body
wasn't in the water long.
A local resident thought he saw
a white 4x4
parked up by the river
at around 1:30 a.m.
That would tie in with when
we think the body was dumped.
Helps narrow down
the CCTV searches.
Where are we
with the victim I.D.?
Oh, ah, the necklace
she was wearing
was ordered by a Patrick Morrell
five years ago,
and it was delivered to
a solicitors firm in the city.
We're fairly sure
it's the victim's father.
Billie?
Patrick Morrell died
just over three years ago.
But I spoke
to an old work colleague,
and Mr. Morrell had a daughter.
Her name was Virginia,
but she went by Ginny.
The necklace design's
the letter G.
Checks on Open Source
show two Virginia Morrells
living in London.
One's 87.
The other shares a flat
with a Tara Watson.
She runs a dating agency.
Can you think of anyone
she might have been meeting
after work yesterday?
The thing is, Ginny doesn't...
...didn't really have
anyone in her life.
She moved back from Manchester
last year.
She'd left her husband.
So she wasn't seeing
anyone new?
Maybe.
Maybe there...
Maybe there was someone.
I'm Harry.
I am precisely
30-something years old.
Six foot tall,
and I work in the City.
Please don't respond if
you're not looking for someone
who has impeccable manners,
who loves to laugh.
Out loud.
I attended Julian College.
I have mingled with royalty,
but now I am looking
to find my princess.
So...
RS VP.
Miss Watson said Ginny needed
cheering up
after her marriage went south.
D.C. Brady.
She wanted to fix her up
with a nice chap.
And how many dates had
she'd been on with Shelston?
Three or four.
But Ginny stopped it
because she wasn't ready,
according to Watson.
Yeah, okay.
Cheers for that.
The call log on Ginny's phone
shows an incoming call
from the home number
at Shelston's address yesterday.
Just after 2:00 p.m.
Sounds like Ginny
might have changed her mind.
What's so special
about Julian College anyway?
Boarding school near Dartmoor.
Minor royals go there.
- What?
- White 4x4.
Matches the car
at the dump site.
Rob?
Do those rocks
look like the ones
that were used
to weigh down the victim?
There's a body down here.
Yeah, ambulance required.
Yeah, it's 2 Cromfell Place.
That's SW7 9VC.
Yeah.
We're just gaining access
to the property.
It's Harry Shelston.
He's dead.
The car belongs
to an Alex Barker.
He also owns the house.
What? I thought this
Shelston guy was loaded.
What's he doing
living in someone else's house
and driving their car?
So Ginny died in the bedroom.
Some kind of sex game
gone wrong?
He stuck her in the river,
then came back here
and blew his brains out?
You know, there's something
strange about this room.
It's like it's been stripped
of everything personal.
Maybe that added
to the fantasy.
Keys for the 4x4
parked outside.
Now, if he used that
to move Ginny's body,
there'll be some forensics.
No I.D. on the girl
with your wife's bag yet, then?
Well, the angle doesn't help.
Misper are checking other CCTV.
With luck
they'll get a better one.
We'll find out who she is.
Briefing in five minutes.
She seems a bit off.
Might be time for a chat,
as her line manager.
It's just a thought.
Amber, it's me.
Um, look, I'm really sorry
about the way we left things.
I do like you.
I just...
Listen, call me back.
It's important.
Everything all right?
Yeah, just thinking
about the case.
Okay, if there is anything
in your private life
that's affecting your work...
No, no.
It's just a problem
with a friend.
I'm trying to help.
Okay.
Shouldn't keep
the boss waiting.
Matches of
Virginia Morrell's blood
were found at the crime scene
and in the 4x4,
proving it was used
to transport the body.
Now, this is backed up
with roadside CCTV,
which caught the car
on its way to the dump site
at 1:13 a.m.
It looks like
we've got a murder-suicide.
Harry Shelston
killed Virginia Morrell,
dumped her body, came home,
and then topped himself.
Oh, and by the way, Vivienne
doesn't believe a word of this.
Okay, well, why would he bother
trying to get rid of the body
if he knew he was
gonna kill himself?
I think we're looking
for someone else.
CRIS report shows two past
callouts for domestic violence
against Ginny's husband,
Sean Montgomery, in Manchester.
He was cautioned for one
and arrested for a second one,
but the charges were dismissed
for lack of evidence.
Doesn't he still live up there?
No.
He moved here two months ago.
What,
so he could murder Ginny
and frame her new boyfriend
for it?
Maybe.
Meanwhile, I've got Alex Barker
on his way in for interview.
Hopefully he can share
his thoughts on evidence
that we actually have.
Billie, do you want
to interview the bloke
that let Harry stay at his house
and use his car,
or do you want to explore
the land of make-believe
with Vivienne?
Uh, SOCO found a receipt
in Harry's pocket
for a wine bar in Chelsea
from last night.
Thought I might look into CCTV
and see if I might find Ginny
on there.
If that's okay.
Yeah, good call.
Sean Montgomery?
I'm Detective Inspector
David Bradford.
This is Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.
Do you mind if we ask you
a few questions?
I can get one of the girls
to fetch you
a coffee or tea if you like.
No, thank you, Mr. Montgomery.
We're here about your wife,
Virginia... Ginny.
You do know she left me, right,
and we're separated?
We were aware of that.
When was the last time
you saw her?
I haven't seen her since she
left about eight months ago.
So you haven't made contact
with her
since she came back to London?
Too busy working.
Can you tell us
where you were last night?
Uh, it was my night off.
I had some dinner, watched TV,
flaked out.
What is this?
Ginny was found dead
this morning.
Someone stabbed her.
So you understand why we need
to ask you these questions.
Okay, um...
Uh, just, um...
Give me a moment to process.
Okay?
Was anyone with you
last night?
No.
What you're looking at me?
We have a record of callouts
to the property
that you shared with Ginny
after allegations
of domestic abuse.
Our investigation needs to
take that into account.
All those charges were dropped.
Hence the word "allegations."
So all you have to do
is answer our questions.
What's your side of it?
Stuff gets said
in a marriage, right?
You're trapped,
all the fun has stopped.
You do stupid things.
Like threatening your wife
with a knife?
And there's this.
We've a list of calls
made to Ginny's phone
up to and on the day
that she died.
Several hang-ups
from this place.
You still want to deny
you made contact with Ginny?
Look...
I thought since we were in the
same town, we should meet up.
But every time she answered,
I lost my nerve.
Hmm? That's it.
Look, listen to me.
I did not kill my wife.
There you go.
Thank you.
This is a shock.
I've known Harry since school.
He was a good guy.
We did a property deal together.
So you're in property too?
A little.
Not a career.
You did better than Harry,
though, obviously.
He lived at your house,
borrowed your car.
Harry made some bad choices.
Just with money?
You have to understand,
Harry had never worked
for anything in his life.
He drifted.
Got by on charm.
So...
Harry's bad choices.
Drugs?
Harry's father had stopped
his allowance
because of the cocaine.
He was struggling.
That's why I let him stay,
use the car.
That's very generous of you.
The house was empty.
Better someone be in it.
Stop the place
from being broken into.
You weren't worried
he'd sell all the furniture?
Harry was promising
to get help.
He was looking
to clear his debts,
sort his life out.
That why this is
such a tragedy.
Did he have a phone
and a laptop?
Yes, both.
We didn't find them
in the house.
Maybe he sold them.
I occasionally gave him money.
The last time I saw him,
which was Tuesday of last week,
he was depressed.
About losing his job.
What job?
All right, cheers, mate.
So Harry was in deep debt
according to his bank.
Also he wasn't a client
at Superior Singles.
He was an employee.
Well, at least he was
until Tara Watson fired him
two weeks ago.
How did you get on with the ex?
Oh, he's been down here
in the same town as Ginny
and claims he hasn't had
the nerve to speak to her.
- As if.
- Tara Watson's here.
We provide
a handsome, charming man
to escort our client
to a party
so she doesn't have to
turn up solo.
And no-strings sex included?
You can see why your service
might be misunderstood.
No!
Not at all.
Look, if both parties
are amenable,
then that's strictly
between themselves.
Our service is only concerned
with the event.
And it was using this service
that Ginny met Harry?
She was only looking
for a confidence boost.
Then Harry left the agency,
and that was that.
Yeah, but he didn't leave.
Didn't you fire him?
It was just time
for him to move on.
Miss Watson,
Ginny was murdered.
I know that.
One of our clients...
best clients... left the agency
after a date with him.
She was too discreet
to say what had happened.
It was obviously bad.
What's her name?
Corinna Richardson.
Why did you leave the agency?
Just wasn't for me anymore.
Tara Watson thought it was to do
with Harry Shelston.
Well, I never said that.
So you've got nothing to tell us
about Harry Shelston?
Like what?
Like any threatening behavior?
Odd sexual requests?
No.
No, Harry wasn't like that.
We found some handcuffs
in Harry's bedroom.
Was that something
he used with you?
No.
Why were you
at Harry's house?
He was found dead
this morning.
Possibly suicide.
But we're investigating
his involvement
in the death of another woman
he met through the agency.
Harry?
That's not possible.
What makes you say that?
Well, Harry was sweet.
Lost, actually.
I can't help you at all.
Now, I have to go.
I have to, um...
I have to be somewhere.
I watched right till the end.
All uneventful.
And then I saw this.
That's Ginny leaving
with Harry Shelston.
Right, cheers, mate
And that's her ex, Sean.
Stalking her.
That was the pathologist.
She found marks
around Shelston's neck
indicating a choke hold
to render someone unconscious.
Harry Shelston
didn't shoot himself.
The suicide was staged.
So, what happened
after that, Sean?
Did you follow them back?
I was gonna follow them.
They were waiting for a cab.
I went to my car,
but some idiot blocked me in.
Some guy using the cashpoint.
Check out the camera
on the machine.
I had words with him.
When you're there,
check out the guy on the moped.
He followed them down the road.
Say that again.
Some guy. Dodgy.
He had a tattoo on his neck
and a bike helmet.
I saw him watching them.
And when they pulled off
in the cab,
He rode after them.
And you're only
telling us this now?
I didn't want to
look like a stalker. Right?
She was still mine.
Do you get that?
She was still my wife.
This guy matches the
description that Sean gave us.
So we're ruling out
the ex-husband.
Uh, yeah, the cashpoint CCTV
showed Sean kicking off at
the guy who... who boxed him in
for a good 10 minutes.
So it's looking unlikely
that he followed Ginny
to Shelston's house.
Which leaves us
with this moped guy.
Why was he tailing him?
We've had a hit on CRIMINT.
The tattoo was a winner.
Lee Matthews, 27.
Arrests for drug possession,
one count for burglary.
Get the current address.
Get him in.
His mum says she hasn't seen him
since this morning.
Sit and wait, then.
You take the front.
I'll cover down here.
I'm guessing that's not
your friend with the problem.
Is this friend in the job
or a civvy?
In the job.
She's worried she might have
broken the rules.
How?
She got friendly
with someone connected
with a case.
Sexual friendly?
No.
But she's been hanging out.
Only now she's thinking
it might come out,
and she's wondering
if she should
come clean to her boss about it.
No, she should
cut this friend loose
before anyone
finds out about it.
Protect herself
and her career.
She's tried.
It's complicated.
Yeah, well, she should try again
to uncomplicate it. Here he is.
Lee Matthews?
I...
Ohh!
Suspect on the run.
Crossing under the railway line.
Okay, he's heading towards you!
Aah! Get off me.
Lee Matthews, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of murder.
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.
- I ain't done nothing.
- Oh, is that right?
- I haven't done anything.
- Do you understand?
Okay, then, let's see,
shall we?
I'm holding that for a mate.
Course you are.
You've got phones,
laptop, a purse, and a watch
belonging to
two murdered people.
CCTV picks you up at a wine bar
where they met for drink.
A witness saw you following them
on your moped
shortly before the murders.
I saw the posh bloke and the
lady coming out of the wine bar.
What, you just happened
to see them?
I wait around outside,
try and find a couple who look
like they got a few quid.
I clocked them
'cause of his watch.
Follow them home,
wait for the light
to go on upstairs,
and then when they're at it,
I run in, take their stuff,
and then leave.
Houses like that
you need people to be in.
What, because the alarm's
not activated?
I usually wait around
for a bit, you know?
Really let them get going.
But 10 minutes later,
he was back down.
And then he comes out through
the front door carrying her,
like she was unconscious
or out of it or whatever.
You didn't think
that seemed strange?
Well, it's not like he'd
rolled her up in a carpet
and put her
in the boot of the car.
She was dressed.
I thought
she'd taken something.
For all I knew, he was
taking her to the hospital.
That's when I noticed
he'd left the front door open.
So I went in,
and I helped myself.
Did you go upstairs?
No.
I found enough downstairs.
And then I didn't know
when he'd be back,
so I ran off.
And that's it.
Put your face away.
You asked me what happened.
I'm telling you.
The little git's
lying through his teeth.
I've been through
Harry's laptop.
Come on.
UK Reel Porn.
It hosts videos of couples
covertly filmed having sex
for the peeping Tom market.
So Shelston likes
watching this stuff. And?
You know you said
the bedroom felt impersonal.
And there were a couple
of smoke detectors.
I'm pretty sure there were
hidden cameras in them.
That's Corinna Richardson.
Let's have
another word with her.
I've got Harry Shelston's
call log.
On the days leading up to
and the day of the murders.
Now, Harry made a call
to an unlisted disposable phone
last night.
Half an hour before
Ginny's body was dumped.
So are you suggesting
that there could be
a third person involved, Rob?
Yeah, okay.
You've been right so far.
Why stop now?
What have you found out
about Alex Barker?
Barker told us that he'd met
Harry at boarding school,
so Billie checked
the school records.
No record of an Alex Barker
at Julian College
at the same time as Harry,
but I did find an Alexei Bakuri.
Alexei Bakuri was found guilty
five years ago
of a minor
drugs possession charge.
Yeah, and of more significance,
he is the nephew
of Artem Bakuri.
Russian mafia, with ties to
drugs, pornography, et cetera.
And he was arrested
but not charged
for the murder of an associate
five years ago.
The body was found
in the Thames.
Let's get Bakuri in.
Alex Barker,
also known as Alexei Bakuri,
I'm Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole,
and you've already met
my colleague Rob Brady.
We're arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Harry Shelston.
We've also got a warrant
to search your flat.
I'm gonna caution you inside.
Let's go.
I changed my name
to avoid victimization...
like this...
due to a Russian surname.
You mean having the same surname
as a convicted mob murderer?
I think my uncle was targeted
because of
certain cultural stereotypes.
But I'm sure we'll agree
to differ on that.
Let's talk about
your uncle's business,
about his links to porn sites,
in particular one called
UK Reel Porn.
Did you know that
Harry Shelston, your friend,
was supplying content
to that site?
I did not.
What, so videos were being made
at your house
and ending up on sites
that your uncle had interest in?
It's a bit of a coincidence.
I don't know about
any of this.
We suspect Harry Shelston
called you last night
to help him move the body of a
woman who had just been stabbed.
You can check my phone records.
Oh, no, this call was made to
a disposable, untraceable phone
which we believe
belongs to you.
Have you ever owned a gun,
Mr. Bakuri?
I'm Russian.
My uncle was unfairly accused.
I must be some kind of gangster.
I'm a property developer.
And I've never owned a gun.
Anything from the search
on Bakuri's house?
Phone and computer's clean.
No sign of the memory stick
from the camera.
We're examining clothes
for any gunshot residue,
but the wardrobe's
pretty extensive,
so it's gonna take some time.
Okay, so we've got nothing.
Corinna Richardson's
on her way in for interview.
Um, sorry, do you mind
if I just take this?
No. No.
Thanks.
Why haven't you called me back?
I need to see you.
Tonight?
I heard David
turned up at the crime scene
this morning.
How's he been since?
Okay.
On the surface.
Corinna, these videos
weren't made for personal use.
Harry was supplying them
to a porn website for cash.
Well, I don't believe that.
I don't believe
Harry would do that.
Look, stop protecting Harry.
Tell us what happened
on your last date.
Take your time.
We were robbed.
A man wearing a mask,
carrying a knife,
got into the house
while we were upstairs.
Then what happened?
He made me hand over my handbag
and my jewelry.
Harry had to hand over
his wallet and his watch.
And then...
He gave me
a set of handcuffs.
He got me to cuff
Harry to the bed.
Then he told me
to do things to Harry.
Sexual things.
I was so scared, I...
He told me
to lie down on the bed,
and I thought
he was gonna rape me.
But we had to close our eyes
and count to a hundred, and...
...then he was gone, and...
And he left the keys
to the handcuffs on the floor.
The man with the knife
wore a mask.
Is there anything else
you remember?
The mask was itching him.
He kept scratching his neck,
and, uh, there... there was
a tattoo there.
We found your number.
In the contacts list
on Harry Shelston's phone.
I used to serve Harry
a bit of coke.
That's how
we know each other.
Anyway, he started getting it
from this other geezer.
And when he kept
coming up short,
this other geezer found
another way to make him pay.
- Making sex tapes?
- Yeah.
He knew Harry had
a constant supply of women.
But after a while,
Harry taping them having sex
with him, it weren't enough.
He wanted something,
um, spicier.
Like what?
Like them getting robbed.
And the robber getting them
to do stuff.
What happened last night?
Harry came downstairs
to make sure I'd got in.
He said
there was jewelry and cash,
that she had a necklace
but I was to let her keep it.
Go on.
He went back upstairs.
They got down to it.
I burst in, balaclava on,
waving a knife around.
Grab up all the jewelry
and put it in my bag.
And Harry offers up his watch
so that she gets
to keep her necklace.
And then I tell her
to cuff him to the bed.
And you're still
holding the knife?
Yeah.
And she took the cuffs.
- Ginny?
- Yeah.
But instead of hooking them up
to the bed,
she starts swinging them at me.
And she keeps coming.
She tripped.
I end up on the deck
with her on top of me.
I pushed her off.
Your knife punctured her heart.
So, what did Harry do?
He started freaking out.
He's hammering the coke,
and he says he's gonna
call someone who's gonna help.
Who?
The guy who got him
into the porn.
So he goes in the other room,
and he makes the call.
I can't hear
what they're saying.
And when he comes back in,
he tells me he's got help
to move the body
and that I ought to
get out of there.
I grabbed up the bag,
and I left.
Who did he get help
with the body?
I told you... I don't know.
You're lying.
Do you know how I know
you're lying?
This is Harry's call log.
He made calls to this number,
a disposable phone,
including several last night.
And this is your log.
You made a call
to the same disposable phone
at 8:03 this morning.
This phone
has since been disconnected.
Who did you call?
We're looking at two murders.
Ginny and Harry's.
Alex something.
I never saw him.
He's the guy
who owned the place.
He's also the guy
Harry called.
And the guy Harry owed.
And I'm pretty sure he's the guy
who helped get rid of the body.
The camera was still running
after Ginny died, wasn't it?
And it was still running
when Alex Bakuri
and Harry came back
from dumping the body.
I don't know what you mean.
We reckon you got keys
to Harry's place.
We also reckon you went back
to remove that recording.
That's why you called Alex
this morning.
Money in exchange
for that recording.
Of Alex shooting Harry.
Our thinking is,
Alex shot Harry in the head
because he didn't trust him
to keep his mouth shut.
Do you really think
he's gonna let you live?
Where can we find
that recording?
She couldn't take
being threatened again.
Another man with a knife,
just like her husband.
That's why she's dead.
Roll it on.
Doesn't prove I killed him.
The gunshot residue we found
on your jacket will, though.
So just got to get those videos
taken down
and the website prosecuted.
But how likely is that?
We got justice for Ginny,
two bad guys off the street.
You sure you don't want to
come for a drink?
No, I just want to get home.
Evening, Sarge.
See you tomorrow.
Thanks for today.
Yeah, see ya.
Did you talk to her?
Yeah. All sorted.
I'm gonna go and see if the boss
fancies a drink.
Think he might need one.
Yeah, this is Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.
Um, I've got the flyer for the
possible witness in the misper.
Yeah, I've been told you were
looking into getting
a more identifiable image.
Yeah, that's great.
Okay, cheers. Thanks.
You all right?
Nice place.
Tidier than I expected.
We need to talk.
The boss' wife is missing,
and that's you with her bag.
Yeah, I...
I found it in a park
dumped on top of a bin. I...
God, I should have
handed it in.
You're gonna need to
tell the team
when you found it and where,
or I will.
Sure, sure, I'll tell them,
obviously.
If that's what you think.
Maybe I'll also tell them
about you and me.
There is no you and me,
right?
Look, if the situation
were any different.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
I'm sorry.
I... I understand.
I do 'cause it's your job,
and, uh...
I just liked
that we were mates.
I did too.
Oh, how about
one last drink, then?
This is Amber Saunders
with your wife's bag.
Who's Amber Saunders?
She's the witness that found
Tom Pryce's body
hanging from the tree.
She didn't say
that she knew him.
Why does she have Sarah's bag?
Did she know her too?
I hope not.
Why?
You know I've always thought
there were two people
involved in that murder.
I think Amber's one of them.
I'm sorry, Amber.
I'm tired.
I've got work tomorrow.
I love this song.
- Amber.
- Dance with me.
- I'm tired.
- Come On.
Dance with me.
One dance.
Amber, come on.
I just want to...
Amber, come on.
Shhh.
Fine.
I'll go.
No.
Subtitles by explosiveskull
Yeah.
Uh, police, please.
There's something by the river.
I think it's a body.
What's the boss doing here?
Could be his wife.
Same general description.
Boss.
Wait.
Hold up.
Why don't you stay here, eh?
Stab wound?
Kitchen knife maybe.
Someone else's tragedy.
First impressions?
Perfect dump site.
Close enough to park up.
Not too overlooked.
She was found really easily.
I think this was done
in a rush.
She was wrapped up
in this sheeting.
Weighted down with these...
from a garden, probably.
The rope wasn't tied well,
so it's come loose.
What does this tell you?
Billie?
Probable cause of death,
a stab wound to the upper chest,
but no hole in the clothing,
so she was dressed postmortem.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, the engraving
on the necklace,
that could help us track down
who ordered it.
Maybe we can find out
the victim's I.D. that way.
Take a while to search through
all the jewelers.
No, there's no need.
It's a Monica Vareesi.
You can tell by
their trademark adjustable chain
and the initials on the clasp.
Trademark adjustable chain, eh?
I've got a thing for expensive
jewelry I can't afford.
Lack of decomp
would suggest the body
wasn't in the water long.
A local resident thought he saw
a white 4x4
parked up by the river
at around 1:30 a.m.
That would tie in with when
we think the body was dumped.
Helps narrow down
the CCTV searches.
Where are we
with the victim I.D.?
Oh, ah, the necklace
she was wearing
was ordered by a Patrick Morrell
five years ago,
and it was delivered to
a solicitors firm in the city.
We're fairly sure
it's the victim's father.
Billie?
Patrick Morrell died
just over three years ago.
But I spoke
to an old work colleague,
and Mr. Morrell had a daughter.
Her name was Virginia,
but she went by Ginny.
The necklace design's
the letter G.
Checks on Open Source
show two Virginia Morrells
living in London.
One's 87.
The other shares a flat
with a Tara Watson.
She runs a dating agency.
Can you think of anyone
she might have been meeting
after work yesterday?
The thing is, Ginny doesn't...
...didn't really have
anyone in her life.
She moved back from Manchester
last year.
She'd left her husband.
So she wasn't seeing
anyone new?
Maybe.
Maybe there...
Maybe there was someone.
I'm Harry.
I am precisely
30-something years old.
Six foot tall,
and I work in the City.
Please don't respond if
you're not looking for someone
who has impeccable manners,
who loves to laugh.
Out loud.
I attended Julian College.
I have mingled with royalty,
but now I am looking
to find my princess.
So...
RS VP.
Miss Watson said Ginny needed
cheering up
after her marriage went south.
D.C. Brady.
She wanted to fix her up
with a nice chap.
And how many dates had
she'd been on with Shelston?
Three or four.
But Ginny stopped it
because she wasn't ready,
according to Watson.
Yeah, okay.
Cheers for that.
The call log on Ginny's phone
shows an incoming call
from the home number
at Shelston's address yesterday.
Just after 2:00 p.m.
Sounds like Ginny
might have changed her mind.
What's so special
about Julian College anyway?
Boarding school near Dartmoor.
Minor royals go there.
- What?
- White 4x4.
Matches the car
at the dump site.
Rob?
Do those rocks
look like the ones
that were used
to weigh down the victim?
There's a body down here.
Yeah, ambulance required.
Yeah, it's 2 Cromfell Place.
That's SW7 9VC.
Yeah.
We're just gaining access
to the property.
It's Harry Shelston.
He's dead.
The car belongs
to an Alex Barker.
He also owns the house.
What? I thought this
Shelston guy was loaded.
What's he doing
living in someone else's house
and driving their car?
So Ginny died in the bedroom.
Some kind of sex game
gone wrong?
He stuck her in the river,
then came back here
and blew his brains out?
You know, there's something
strange about this room.
It's like it's been stripped
of everything personal.
Maybe that added
to the fantasy.
Keys for the 4x4
parked outside.
Now, if he used that
to move Ginny's body,
there'll be some forensics.
No I.D. on the girl
with your wife's bag yet, then?
Well, the angle doesn't help.
Misper are checking other CCTV.
With luck
they'll get a better one.
We'll find out who she is.
Briefing in five minutes.
She seems a bit off.
Might be time for a chat,
as her line manager.
It's just a thought.
Amber, it's me.
Um, look, I'm really sorry
about the way we left things.
I do like you.
I just...
Listen, call me back.
It's important.
Everything all right?
Yeah, just thinking
about the case.
Okay, if there is anything
in your private life
that's affecting your work...
No, no.
It's just a problem
with a friend.
I'm trying to help.
Okay.
Shouldn't keep
the boss waiting.
Matches of
Virginia Morrell's blood
were found at the crime scene
and in the 4x4,
proving it was used
to transport the body.
Now, this is backed up
with roadside CCTV,
which caught the car
on its way to the dump site
at 1:13 a.m.
It looks like
we've got a murder-suicide.
Harry Shelston
killed Virginia Morrell,
dumped her body, came home,
and then topped himself.
Oh, and by the way, Vivienne
doesn't believe a word of this.
Okay, well, why would he bother
trying to get rid of the body
if he knew he was
gonna kill himself?
I think we're looking
for someone else.
CRIS report shows two past
callouts for domestic violence
against Ginny's husband,
Sean Montgomery, in Manchester.
He was cautioned for one
and arrested for a second one,
but the charges were dismissed
for lack of evidence.
Doesn't he still live up there?
No.
He moved here two months ago.
What,
so he could murder Ginny
and frame her new boyfriend
for it?
Maybe.
Meanwhile, I've got Alex Barker
on his way in for interview.
Hopefully he can share
his thoughts on evidence
that we actually have.
Billie, do you want
to interview the bloke
that let Harry stay at his house
and use his car,
or do you want to explore
the land of make-believe
with Vivienne?
Uh, SOCO found a receipt
in Harry's pocket
for a wine bar in Chelsea
from last night.
Thought I might look into CCTV
and see if I might find Ginny
on there.
If that's okay.
Yeah, good call.
Sean Montgomery?
I'm Detective Inspector
David Bradford.
This is Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.
Do you mind if we ask you
a few questions?
I can get one of the girls
to fetch you
a coffee or tea if you like.
No, thank you, Mr. Montgomery.
We're here about your wife,
Virginia... Ginny.
You do know she left me, right,
and we're separated?
We were aware of that.
When was the last time
you saw her?
I haven't seen her since she
left about eight months ago.
So you haven't made contact
with her
since she came back to London?
Too busy working.
Can you tell us
where you were last night?
Uh, it was my night off.
I had some dinner, watched TV,
flaked out.
What is this?
Ginny was found dead
this morning.
Someone stabbed her.
So you understand why we need
to ask you these questions.
Okay, um...
Uh, just, um...
Give me a moment to process.
Okay?
Was anyone with you
last night?
No.
What you're looking at me?
We have a record of callouts
to the property
that you shared with Ginny
after allegations
of domestic abuse.
Our investigation needs to
take that into account.
All those charges were dropped.
Hence the word "allegations."
So all you have to do
is answer our questions.
What's your side of it?
Stuff gets said
in a marriage, right?
You're trapped,
all the fun has stopped.
You do stupid things.
Like threatening your wife
with a knife?
And there's this.
We've a list of calls
made to Ginny's phone
up to and on the day
that she died.
Several hang-ups
from this place.
You still want to deny
you made contact with Ginny?
Look...
I thought since we were in the
same town, we should meet up.
But every time she answered,
I lost my nerve.
Hmm? That's it.
Look, listen to me.
I did not kill my wife.
There you go.
Thank you.
This is a shock.
I've known Harry since school.
He was a good guy.
We did a property deal together.
So you're in property too?
A little.
Not a career.
You did better than Harry,
though, obviously.
He lived at your house,
borrowed your car.
Harry made some bad choices.
Just with money?
You have to understand,
Harry had never worked
for anything in his life.
He drifted.
Got by on charm.
So...
Harry's bad choices.
Drugs?
Harry's father had stopped
his allowance
because of the cocaine.
He was struggling.
That's why I let him stay,
use the car.
That's very generous of you.
The house was empty.
Better someone be in it.
Stop the place
from being broken into.
You weren't worried
he'd sell all the furniture?
Harry was promising
to get help.
He was looking
to clear his debts,
sort his life out.
That why this is
such a tragedy.
Did he have a phone
and a laptop?
Yes, both.
We didn't find them
in the house.
Maybe he sold them.
I occasionally gave him money.
The last time I saw him,
which was Tuesday of last week,
he was depressed.
About losing his job.
What job?
All right, cheers, mate.
So Harry was in deep debt
according to his bank.
Also he wasn't a client
at Superior Singles.
He was an employee.
Well, at least he was
until Tara Watson fired him
two weeks ago.
How did you get on with the ex?
Oh, he's been down here
in the same town as Ginny
and claims he hasn't had
the nerve to speak to her.
- As if.
- Tara Watson's here.
We provide
a handsome, charming man
to escort our client
to a party
so she doesn't have to
turn up solo.
And no-strings sex included?
You can see why your service
might be misunderstood.
No!
Not at all.
Look, if both parties
are amenable,
then that's strictly
between themselves.
Our service is only concerned
with the event.
And it was using this service
that Ginny met Harry?
She was only looking
for a confidence boost.
Then Harry left the agency,
and that was that.
Yeah, but he didn't leave.
Didn't you fire him?
It was just time
for him to move on.
Miss Watson,
Ginny was murdered.
I know that.
One of our clients...
best clients... left the agency
after a date with him.
She was too discreet
to say what had happened.
It was obviously bad.
What's her name?
Corinna Richardson.
Why did you leave the agency?
Just wasn't for me anymore.
Tara Watson thought it was to do
with Harry Shelston.
Well, I never said that.
So you've got nothing to tell us
about Harry Shelston?
Like what?
Like any threatening behavior?
Odd sexual requests?
No.
No, Harry wasn't like that.
We found some handcuffs
in Harry's bedroom.
Was that something
he used with you?
No.
Why were you
at Harry's house?
He was found dead
this morning.
Possibly suicide.
But we're investigating
his involvement
in the death of another woman
he met through the agency.
Harry?
That's not possible.
What makes you say that?
Well, Harry was sweet.
Lost, actually.
I can't help you at all.
Now, I have to go.
I have to, um...
I have to be somewhere.
I watched right till the end.
All uneventful.
And then I saw this.
That's Ginny leaving
with Harry Shelston.
Right, cheers, mate
And that's her ex, Sean.
Stalking her.
That was the pathologist.
She found marks
around Shelston's neck
indicating a choke hold
to render someone unconscious.
Harry Shelston
didn't shoot himself.
The suicide was staged.
So, what happened
after that, Sean?
Did you follow them back?
I was gonna follow them.
They were waiting for a cab.
I went to my car,
but some idiot blocked me in.
Some guy using the cashpoint.
Check out the camera
on the machine.
I had words with him.
When you're there,
check out the guy on the moped.
He followed them down the road.
Say that again.
Some guy. Dodgy.
He had a tattoo on his neck
and a bike helmet.
I saw him watching them.
And when they pulled off
in the cab,
He rode after them.
And you're only
telling us this now?
I didn't want to
look like a stalker. Right?
She was still mine.
Do you get that?
She was still my wife.
This guy matches the
description that Sean gave us.
So we're ruling out
the ex-husband.
Uh, yeah, the cashpoint CCTV
showed Sean kicking off at
the guy who... who boxed him in
for a good 10 minutes.
So it's looking unlikely
that he followed Ginny
to Shelston's house.
Which leaves us
with this moped guy.
Why was he tailing him?
We've had a hit on CRIMINT.
The tattoo was a winner.
Lee Matthews, 27.
Arrests for drug possession,
one count for burglary.
Get the current address.
Get him in.
His mum says she hasn't seen him
since this morning.
Sit and wait, then.
You take the front.
I'll cover down here.
I'm guessing that's not
your friend with the problem.
Is this friend in the job
or a civvy?
In the job.
She's worried she might have
broken the rules.
How?
She got friendly
with someone connected
with a case.
Sexual friendly?
No.
But she's been hanging out.
Only now she's thinking
it might come out,
and she's wondering
if she should
come clean to her boss about it.
No, she should
cut this friend loose
before anyone
finds out about it.
Protect herself
and her career.
She's tried.
It's complicated.
Yeah, well, she should try again
to uncomplicate it. Here he is.
Lee Matthews?
I...
Ohh!
Suspect on the run.
Crossing under the railway line.
Okay, he's heading towards you!
Aah! Get off me.
Lee Matthews, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of murder.
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.
- I ain't done nothing.
- Oh, is that right?
- I haven't done anything.
- Do you understand?
Okay, then, let's see,
shall we?
I'm holding that for a mate.
Course you are.
You've got phones,
laptop, a purse, and a watch
belonging to
two murdered people.
CCTV picks you up at a wine bar
where they met for drink.
A witness saw you following them
on your moped
shortly before the murders.
I saw the posh bloke and the
lady coming out of the wine bar.
What, you just happened
to see them?
I wait around outside,
try and find a couple who look
like they got a few quid.
I clocked them
'cause of his watch.
Follow them home,
wait for the light
to go on upstairs,
and then when they're at it,
I run in, take their stuff,
and then leave.
Houses like that
you need people to be in.
What, because the alarm's
not activated?
I usually wait around
for a bit, you know?
Really let them get going.
But 10 minutes later,
he was back down.
And then he comes out through
the front door carrying her,
like she was unconscious
or out of it or whatever.
You didn't think
that seemed strange?
Well, it's not like he'd
rolled her up in a carpet
and put her
in the boot of the car.
She was dressed.
I thought
she'd taken something.
For all I knew, he was
taking her to the hospital.
That's when I noticed
he'd left the front door open.
So I went in,
and I helped myself.
Did you go upstairs?
No.
I found enough downstairs.
And then I didn't know
when he'd be back,
so I ran off.
And that's it.
Put your face away.
You asked me what happened.
I'm telling you.
The little git's
lying through his teeth.
I've been through
Harry's laptop.
Come on.
UK Reel Porn.
It hosts videos of couples
covertly filmed having sex
for the peeping Tom market.
So Shelston likes
watching this stuff. And?
You know you said
the bedroom felt impersonal.
And there were a couple
of smoke detectors.
I'm pretty sure there were
hidden cameras in them.
That's Corinna Richardson.
Let's have
another word with her.
I've got Harry Shelston's
call log.
On the days leading up to
and the day of the murders.
Now, Harry made a call
to an unlisted disposable phone
last night.
Half an hour before
Ginny's body was dumped.
So are you suggesting
that there could be
a third person involved, Rob?
Yeah, okay.
You've been right so far.
Why stop now?
What have you found out
about Alex Barker?
Barker told us that he'd met
Harry at boarding school,
so Billie checked
the school records.
No record of an Alex Barker
at Julian College
at the same time as Harry,
but I did find an Alexei Bakuri.
Alexei Bakuri was found guilty
five years ago
of a minor
drugs possession charge.
Yeah, and of more significance,
he is the nephew
of Artem Bakuri.
Russian mafia, with ties to
drugs, pornography, et cetera.
And he was arrested
but not charged
for the murder of an associate
five years ago.
The body was found
in the Thames.
Let's get Bakuri in.
Alex Barker,
also known as Alexei Bakuri,
I'm Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole,
and you've already met
my colleague Rob Brady.
We're arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Harry Shelston.
We've also got a warrant
to search your flat.
I'm gonna caution you inside.
Let's go.
I changed my name
to avoid victimization...
like this...
due to a Russian surname.
You mean having the same surname
as a convicted mob murderer?
I think my uncle was targeted
because of
certain cultural stereotypes.
But I'm sure we'll agree
to differ on that.
Let's talk about
your uncle's business,
about his links to porn sites,
in particular one called
UK Reel Porn.
Did you know that
Harry Shelston, your friend,
was supplying content
to that site?
I did not.
What, so videos were being made
at your house
and ending up on sites
that your uncle had interest in?
It's a bit of a coincidence.
I don't know about
any of this.
We suspect Harry Shelston
called you last night
to help him move the body of a
woman who had just been stabbed.
You can check my phone records.
Oh, no, this call was made to
a disposable, untraceable phone
which we believe
belongs to you.
Have you ever owned a gun,
Mr. Bakuri?
I'm Russian.
My uncle was unfairly accused.
I must be some kind of gangster.
I'm a property developer.
And I've never owned a gun.
Anything from the search
on Bakuri's house?
Phone and computer's clean.
No sign of the memory stick
from the camera.
We're examining clothes
for any gunshot residue,
but the wardrobe's
pretty extensive,
so it's gonna take some time.
Okay, so we've got nothing.
Corinna Richardson's
on her way in for interview.
Um, sorry, do you mind
if I just take this?
No. No.
Thanks.
Why haven't you called me back?
I need to see you.
Tonight?
I heard David
turned up at the crime scene
this morning.
How's he been since?
Okay.
On the surface.
Corinna, these videos
weren't made for personal use.
Harry was supplying them
to a porn website for cash.
Well, I don't believe that.
I don't believe
Harry would do that.
Look, stop protecting Harry.
Tell us what happened
on your last date.
Take your time.
We were robbed.
A man wearing a mask,
carrying a knife,
got into the house
while we were upstairs.
Then what happened?
He made me hand over my handbag
and my jewelry.
Harry had to hand over
his wallet and his watch.
And then...
He gave me
a set of handcuffs.
He got me to cuff
Harry to the bed.
Then he told me
to do things to Harry.
Sexual things.
I was so scared, I...
He told me
to lie down on the bed,
and I thought
he was gonna rape me.
But we had to close our eyes
and count to a hundred, and...
...then he was gone, and...
And he left the keys
to the handcuffs on the floor.
The man with the knife
wore a mask.
Is there anything else
you remember?
The mask was itching him.
He kept scratching his neck,
and, uh, there... there was
a tattoo there.
We found your number.
In the contacts list
on Harry Shelston's phone.
I used to serve Harry
a bit of coke.
That's how
we know each other.
Anyway, he started getting it
from this other geezer.
And when he kept
coming up short,
this other geezer found
another way to make him pay.
- Making sex tapes?
- Yeah.
He knew Harry had
a constant supply of women.
But after a while,
Harry taping them having sex
with him, it weren't enough.
He wanted something,
um, spicier.
Like what?
Like them getting robbed.
And the robber getting them
to do stuff.
What happened last night?
Harry came downstairs
to make sure I'd got in.
He said
there was jewelry and cash,
that she had a necklace
but I was to let her keep it.
Go on.
He went back upstairs.
They got down to it.
I burst in, balaclava on,
waving a knife around.
Grab up all the jewelry
and put it in my bag.
And Harry offers up his watch
so that she gets
to keep her necklace.
And then I tell her
to cuff him to the bed.
And you're still
holding the knife?
Yeah.
And she took the cuffs.
- Ginny?
- Yeah.
But instead of hooking them up
to the bed,
she starts swinging them at me.
And she keeps coming.
She tripped.
I end up on the deck
with her on top of me.
I pushed her off.
Your knife punctured her heart.
So, what did Harry do?
He started freaking out.
He's hammering the coke,
and he says he's gonna
call someone who's gonna help.
Who?
The guy who got him
into the porn.
So he goes in the other room,
and he makes the call.
I can't hear
what they're saying.
And when he comes back in,
he tells me he's got help
to move the body
and that I ought to
get out of there.
I grabbed up the bag,
and I left.
Who did he get help
with the body?
I told you... I don't know.
You're lying.
Do you know how I know
you're lying?
This is Harry's call log.
He made calls to this number,
a disposable phone,
including several last night.
And this is your log.
You made a call
to the same disposable phone
at 8:03 this morning.
This phone
has since been disconnected.
Who did you call?
We're looking at two murders.
Ginny and Harry's.
Alex something.
I never saw him.
He's the guy
who owned the place.
He's also the guy
Harry called.
And the guy Harry owed.
And I'm pretty sure he's the guy
who helped get rid of the body.
The camera was still running
after Ginny died, wasn't it?
And it was still running
when Alex Bakuri
and Harry came back
from dumping the body.
I don't know what you mean.
We reckon you got keys
to Harry's place.
We also reckon you went back
to remove that recording.
That's why you called Alex
this morning.
Money in exchange
for that recording.
Of Alex shooting Harry.
Our thinking is,
Alex shot Harry in the head
because he didn't trust him
to keep his mouth shut.
Do you really think
he's gonna let you live?
Where can we find
that recording?
She couldn't take
being threatened again.
Another man with a knife,
just like her husband.
That's why she's dead.
Roll it on.
Doesn't prove I killed him.
The gunshot residue we found
on your jacket will, though.
So just got to get those videos
taken down
and the website prosecuted.
But how likely is that?
We got justice for Ginny,
two bad guys off the street.
You sure you don't want to
come for a drink?
No, I just want to get home.
Evening, Sarge.
See you tomorrow.
Thanks for today.
Yeah, see ya.
Did you talk to her?
Yeah. All sorted.
I'm gonna go and see if the boss
fancies a drink.
Think he might need one.
Yeah, this is Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.
Um, I've got the flyer for the
possible witness in the misper.
Yeah, I've been told you were
looking into getting
a more identifiable image.
Yeah, that's great.
Okay, cheers. Thanks.
You all right?
Nice place.
Tidier than I expected.
We need to talk.
The boss' wife is missing,
and that's you with her bag.
Yeah, I...
I found it in a park
dumped on top of a bin. I...
God, I should have
handed it in.
You're gonna need to
tell the team
when you found it and where,
or I will.
Sure, sure, I'll tell them,
obviously.
If that's what you think.
Maybe I'll also tell them
about you and me.
There is no you and me,
right?
Look, if the situation
were any different.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
I'm sorry.
I... I understand.
I do 'cause it's your job,
and, uh...
I just liked
that we were mates.
I did too.
Oh, how about
one last drink, then?
This is Amber Saunders
with your wife's bag.
Who's Amber Saunders?
She's the witness that found
Tom Pryce's body
hanging from the tree.
She didn't say
that she knew him.
Why does she have Sarah's bag?
Did she know her too?
I hope not.
Why?
You know I've always thought
there were two people
involved in that murder.
I think Amber's one of them.
I'm sorry, Amber.
I'm tired.
I've got work tomorrow.
I love this song.
- Amber.
- Dance with me.
- I'm tired.
- Come On.
Dance with me.
One dance.
Amber, come on.
I just want to...
Amber, come on.
Shhh.
Fine.
I'll go.
No.
