To have and to hold.

For better, for worse.

For richer, for poorer.

Easy to say.

Harder to stand by.

But this.

If you cheat and I k*ll.

Now, that's a vow.

Making my very survival

dependent on one person.

Him.

You know, if we're going to do this,

there is one pretty f*cking basic rule.

Any more lies and I

will walk out of here.

And I'll go to the

nearest police station

and I'll tell them I made

a mistake with my alibi.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

We met on my initiation week.

She let it be known, you know,

in the way that women do, that

well, that it could be more than just

Anyway, I

I kept her at bay, I told her about you,

about us and how happy

we are, until one night.

Too much booze and not enough sense.

Hmm. When? What night?

The night before the launch.

And where was I?

What, still unpacking?

Ironing the creases in your trousers,

cutting off the crusts

of your sandwiches?

You know what that time was like, Liv.

It was insane.

I was just trying not

to f*ck everything up

and then I'd come home

and you'd be asleep.

Oh, unconsciousness, that is a new one.

You know, if you had told me

that you were looking to stray,

- then I would've hit the caffeine harder.

- I wasn't looking to stray, Liv.

In all the years that

we've been together,

and I never, ever would again.

This was a

It was a mistake.

Cara, she she was a one-off.

A one-off that you went back

to, how many times, exactly?

And your go-to position?

No, Liv.

I'm not asking for diagrams.

Look, the sex was, erm

It It was different.

- Better?

- No.

No, I didn't say that. Different.

If this is you being

an open book, then

Fine.

You're my wife.

There's certain things that I

would I would never ask you to do.

Oh, I see, you're protecting my virtue.

Please don't make this any

harder than it already is.

After you f*cked her in all the ways

you deemed not appropriate

for me, then what?

Small talk, compare orgasms or

just rolled out from underneath her?

- I came home.

- To your wife.

Like the respectable man that you are.

The thing I cannot get my head around

is how then you could just sleep.

Because a guilty conscience

Yeah, sure, you can

push it down with a boatload

of whisky but the thing is

come bedtime it's there, it's

it's waiting for you.

The thing you've done.

We can get through this.

How?

No more lies.

Says the liar.

Liv, I need you.

To keep you out of prison.

As good a reason as any.

I love you, Liv.

So you love me.

Do you love her?

I don't I don't love her.

I didn't I didn't love her.

She loved you.

She loved you.

Because she knows the truth.

Are you a real priest?

It was me.

I k*lled her.

That's not quite how it works.

Was it there?

To hurt this woman?

So

the thing becomes an accident.

An accident.

If it wasn't for the storm

and him f*cking with my

mind over and over and over.

With the insane wind and the rain.

Where have you been?

Should I expect this every time I'm

out of your sight for five minutes?

I wa I was worried, that's all.

Worried I'd have a change of heart?

Were you?

That's for me to know

and you to find out.

Is this how it's going

to be from now on?

For your sake, I hope not.

Yep. Bonnie, I'm on my way.

Er

Well, don't you think

it's a bit too soon?

No, no. Er

Yes, of course. Er

Yes, I'll ask her.

Okay, bye.

Er, she she wants to

She wants to raise a glass to

It It'd be good

if you could be there.

As new starts go, toasting to your

dead mistress really is up there.

Will said you weren't coming.

Here, take, drink,

and drink some more. I intend to.

Darling.

Darling, you made it.

I'm I'm sorry about your friend.

I guess you were one of

the last to talk to her.

Tell me she was having fun out there.

No, no, no. Tell me she was having

the best f*cking time of her life.

Well, she

She was.

Well, you know Cara.

She was life and soul.

And anyone who got

in her way, be damned.

I think it's kind of a

now or never situation.

I vote never.

No, no, you're right, you're right.

It can't be chicken sh*t, so

Would you just quiet the rabble for me?

Of course. Yes.

Excuse me, everyone. Could you

just all gather round, please?

Er, Bonnie Bonnie's

going to say a few words.

Just a few because Cara had

to listen to me enough in life.

And I've been thinking

about beginnings a lot.

You know where we were when we met,

after a hideous day

of interviewing girls

with nothing between

their ears and then

In she walked, looking

the way that she looked,

which was one thing.

But then she opened her mouth.

And sometimes you meet

women like that in life,

and, frankly, you want to hate them.

It doesn't seem fair.

Them at the front of

the line when the big man

was passing out all the goods and, er

Well, maybe I did for

just a millisecond.

But then she brought me

in, which is what Cara did.

So as being with her made

you feel like your best self.

Quicker, funnier, smarter.

More alive.

Which is just this, er

just a f*cking joke in all of this.

She really was the most alive

person that I ever met, so

Here's to keeping her that way.

To Cara.

To Cara.

Be right back.

Come with me.

We have to leave.

You guilt-tripped me into coming,

and now you've changed your mind?

- They're saying she didn't fall.

- What?

Who said that?

The police. The police are saying that.

They're saying that she was pushed.

She was m*rder*d.

You know I couldn't do this.

Hurt anyone.

If anything leads back

to you and Cara then

we're done.

Both of us.

I know.

So we cover our tracks.

Make sure there is

nothing, and I mean nothing,

that connects you and Cara romantically.

We We can We can do that.

I mean, that's no problem. No one knew.

Yeah, that's what you think, but

This is about being definite, so

We go over everything.

Because I tell you one thing, your

lies are not landing me in prison.

Oh, Liv.

Liv.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How would the two of you communicate?

We'd text, call if it was urgent.

Wipe your phone.

Hers.

She she was more on the

paranoid side so she used a burner.

Okay, good.

The police won't know to check for that.

Erm

- Emails?

- Mostly sent from work.

I mean, her desktop's company property.

I just need some time

with it, that's all.

Well, yes, and her passwords.

I

Wow, you know each other's passwords.

Some, not all.

And what about your actual meetings?

I paid in cash.

And apart from a joke

trip to the Empire State,

we chose pretty

discreet locations, so

I'm sure you did.

Are there any physical

items that connect you?

You know, ticket stubs, erm, gifts?

Er

Will.

Er, look Erm

I

I gave her a key.

You gave her a key to our home?

I I just Liv, she

wanted more and more from me

and I didn't know what to do.

I tried to get her

off my back. It just

We only came here once, Liv.

You didn't think you'd

taken enough from me?

She's everywhere.

Do you get that? She's

everywhere and now she's here.

Liv.

Well, I guess we have to go find

the f*cking key now, don't we?

Are you Are you okay?

I just I heard a

sound and I came to check.

Please tell me I'm

not where I think I am.

I'm afraid so.

The last thing I remember,

I was dancing to Pat Benatar.

Quite possibly alone in the

I just like I just, er

It all just went, pffff!

Was that on when you got here?

Er, I don't I don't

know. I only just

I meant, did you turn it on?

No. I mean, that would

be a weird thing to do.

Because the police are coming

and they're going to want

access and ask questions.

- I just

- Bonnie, I didn't touch the thing.

I don't know but

Yeah. It's a lot.

What they're saying.

I know.

Oh!

God, I need caffeine and sugar.

f*ck it, I need a Cronut.

In the nicest possible way, Bonnie

you need a shower.

I have fired people for less.

You did well, yesterday.

Oh, boy. Okay.

God!

You know what?

You tell anyone about this,

I'll cut off your balls.

"Will,

I know we said we weren't going

to do feelings, so don't get mad.

And, f*ck it, maybe I

won't even send this,

so you won't even know how

insane you make me feel.

How many hours of every day

I waste thinking about you.

How terrifying it is to me that so fast

you seem to know me better than anyone.

And how much I wish you weren't

just this thing that exists

outside of real life.

I want you to be my real life."

Sorry. Sorry, I got

stuck between stations.

I don't want to be here any

longer than we have to be.

No, me neither.

Are you clear on the plan?

Yeah?

Hey.

Erm

Yeah, yeah. Come on in.

Sorry.

Take a pew.

How, erm

How have you been?

Er

Sorry. That was an idiotic question.

Got any friends or family staying

here, people you can talk to?

What's there to say?

Just

sometimes it helps.

I take it you guys heard the news, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

I still can't believe it.

No.

No, it feels like the sort of

thing that happens to other people.

It is, that is unless the

police showed up at your door

asking you guys questions.

Er, sorry. Look, I'm really

not very good at this.

Er

I brought you some chicken soup.

Homemade.

Figured you wouldn't have eaten.

Thank you.

It's just soup.

Well, why don't Why

don't I heat it up for you?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Yeah?

I'll show you where the kitchen is.

Erm

Do you mind if I use the restroom?

Oh, yeah. It's just, er

Thanks.

Where the f*ck are you?

What you doing in her closet?

Oh

Oh, I didn't want to say.

I should have done. Sorry.

Er, Cara's clothes that

she lent me in Yosemite.

I was I was returning them.

Well

She doesn't need them anymore, does she?

Well, if it was me, I'd want to

know everything was in its place.

And whoever was left behind had

as much as me as possible.

I should have said. Sorry.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Everything

Everything's fine.

So?

Thank you.

You really came through for me.

So, thank you.

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor?

Yes.

Detective Rawlins. My colleague.

Detective Wiseman.

We're heading up the New York

City part of the investigation

into the m*rder of Ms. Cara Parker.

First off, I know you knew the victim,

so my sincerest condolences.

That said, we'd really

appreciate you coming down

to the station to

answer a few questions.

Oh, yes, of course.

You can imagine a lot

of what we need to do

is establish who's, where's, when's,

much of which we have in

your original statement

to the Yosemite Park rangers.

Nothing to scare the horses. You're

at liberty to leave at any point.

Of course, we hope our

company is not that unbearable.

Oh, well, anything you need

to know, just just ask.

You and your husband were

staying at the Majestic Hotel

on the night of Ms.

Parker's disappearance.

Er, yes. Yes, that's right.

And what was your

relationship with the victim?

Er I liked her.

Er No, I mean, what was the

nature of your relationship?

- Were you colleagues or ?

- Oh, right. Yes, of course.

Erm Well, er, no.

My My husband, Will, erm

He worked with her at the Lowbeck.

But you'd all become friendly?

Well, we hiked together, took a

drink. You know, nothing major.

Had you met her before Yosemite?

Er, no, that was the

first time, that day.

Your husband had never talked about her?

There was no crossover at

work functions or the like?

Well, it's a it's a big hotel.

You know, he has a lot of colleagues.

You must have bonded

pretty hard and fast.

We have a witness from

the dining room that night,

said he saw you and

Ms. Parker locked in

"A tight embrace."

Oh, what can I say?

I'm a friendly drunk.

Er

Good for you.

And after this embrace, you returned

to your room with your husband

and that was the last

you saw of Ms. Parker?

Well, it was a it was a long day.

Will and I ducked out early from dinner.

Went back to the room, had a nightcap.

Well, he fancied a nightcap, I didn't.

Er, and then he must

have come back around

11.30.

That was us for the rest of the night.

We ducked out of dinner early.

Went back to our room.

I fancied a nightcap.

She wisely didn't.

And, er

I must have got back to the

room, must have been about 11.30.

And then

Yeah. I mean, that was us

for the rest of the night.

Very detailed, Mr. Taylor. Thank you.

Of course.

Erm, the part that's just

a little bit sticky for me

is the coincidence of it.

I mean, here's you and your

wife What is it, Wiseman?

Just shy of 3,000

miles as the crow flies.

So, a long way from home.

And you only go and bump

into your colleague from work,

who just so happens to have

stopped at the exact same trail

you and your wife had

planned to walk that day.

Never mind that she's staying

at the exact same hotel.

Listen, I I get it.

Right.

But that's not exactly an answer.

Okay, look, I, erm

I I really didn't want

to do this because, well,

you know, Cara Cara

was a great girl and

You know, I mean, what's happened,

I mean, it's horrific, but, erm

But?

Er

But this, this is Cara all over.

You know, she was she

was obsessed with keeping up.

You know, she heard a

hot new restaurant was the place to be,

she'd be there ready to document

the whole thing on Instagram.

You know, it's the same

with bars and clubs and

holidays.

You think she followed you there?

No!

No, no, no, no. Not me.

I think

she followed the experience of it.

So not a woman who

knew her own mind, then?

Like I said

You know, I would

never want to speak ill.

Hmm.

Thanks for coming in, guys.

Thank you.

Nice couple.

If you can forgive the British part.

What?

The night she d*ed and there's them

saying almost the exact same thing.

I'm pretty sure they

won't call us in again.

Because you made out Cara was mad?

No, not mad.

Just impressionable.

Right.

A silly girl.

Sure.

A silly girl who you were

sleeping with for months on end.

A silly girl who you

gave a key to our home.

A silly girl who you made promises to.

Promises that ended up getting

her k*lled one way or another.

Liv.

Liv.

Hey, neighbour.

How you been?

I don't even know where to start.

He's nowhere near good enough for you.

I don't want you to be sad.

You deserve

Well, you deserve everything.

But mostly a sh*t ton of happiness.

You don't know what I deserve.

Don't look ahead ♪

There's stormy weather ♪

Another roadblock in our way ♪

But if we go, we go together ♪

Was she happy?

Is that a serious question?

Who's happy in this life?

Are you happy, Detective?

Extra hour in bed.

Baby sleeping through, wife

letting me watch the game.

Sure, wouldn't take much for me to be.

No, I imagine not.

We're trying to get a

better picture of your friend

and employee in the days

leading up to her death.

If she was happy, who

was making her happy?

If she was sad

who was coming for her?

It's pretty basic stuff, Mrs. Sizemore.

Some days she was happy,

some days not so much.

Why do you think that was?

Well, anything I say

that It would be a guess.

I mean, she made a point not to bring

her private life into the office.

Well, an educated guess.

Given that you spent more time

with her than anyone else here.

Probably anyone else in her life.

Barring Garth, who I

assume you've talked to.

Well, we're talking to you now, so

An educated guess, please.

Last few months, she was

first in, last to leave.

And after work, no matter what the hour,

she would go to the gym for a workout.

Instead of going home?

She called it her escape.

Boxed up her stuff already.

Apparently these lockers

are like gold dust.

Kinda cold, no?

I can think of more fun

ways to blow off steam.

I mean, the woman was in

great shape, but come on.

Are you really gonna go there? Yeah.

Objectively speaking and with

absolutely no Me Too connotations.

But please, she's working

out close to midnight.

It's on the sad side of things.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

- Facts. Oh.

- Ms. Parker's belongings.

Much obliged. Thank you.

Okay.

What do we got, Cara?

Why lie about knowing her?

All right!

Garth Lenihan, I have a

warrant here for your arrest

for the m*rder of Ms. Cara Parker.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and

will be used against you.
