No, I'm not leaving my sister.

Cora Ashfield.

She died of an asthma attack.

But you knew there
was more to it.

Acetonitrile.

You confronted your uncle

with scientific proof
of its toxicity.

Yes, but he wouldn't listen.

I'll pay for that
fancy art school

you're always banging
on about, how's that?

Oh, that's not even what
I came to talk about.

There's an ingredient
you use in the factory...

it's lethal.

Cora Ashfield
shouldn't have died.

-This factory k*lled her.
-Don't be dramatic.

She died of an asthma attack.

What's that?

A study into the
toxicity of acetonitrile.

Cora always felt dreadful
after a shift here,

and she was working
closely with it.

Well, if you have a weak chest

perhaps don't take a job
working with solvents.

♪

Did you already know about this?

Nobody forced her to work here.

Pamela, you're a clever girl.

You know which side
your bread is buttered.

You do want to go to
art school, don't you?

But that doesn't
mean I k*lled him.

-Over some girl she hardly knew?
-Hardly knew?

Look at the necklace
Cora's wearing.

It's the same engraved motif

that's on the Groovy
Shoo BoHo boots.

-Your design.
-Boniface: A design that

you didn't think
anyone else had seen.

A design that you created
specially for Cora.

-She was your friend.
-She was more than that.

I loved her.

Sam: And you blamed your
uncle for her death.

He put profit before people.

So you k*lled him with the
same toxin that k*lled Cora.

You can't prove that.

Whoever slipped the
poison into Arthur's drink

spilt some of it on the table.

And on their own hands.

Even if they washed
them straight away

they would have given
themselves very mild

cyanide poisoning.

Which is why you felt sick the
morning of your uncle's death.

And why you looked flushed when
we visited you at the Mill.

If you show me your hands now,

I suspect there'll be
a nasty rash on them.

♪

Sam: How did you poison his
drink without him seeing?

I put the acetonitrile in
a miniature brandy bottle.

♪

[ Scoffs ]

Cheers, Pamela.

Offered him a free top up.

I knew he wouldn't say no.

Anything to save a few bob.

That's all that mattered to
him, money, over everything.

I'd shown him proof that
acetonitrile was dangerous.

That it had k*lled Cora.

I thought even
he'd be horrified.

But all he was interested
in was covering up.

Protecting the business.

♪

Cora died and he
wasn't even sorry.

And now...

I'm not sorry either.

♪

Norman, write about
the acetonitrile,

about Cora, please?

-But the launch...
-Dermot.

Let something good
come out of this.

Good?

Pamela: You can
change things now,

make the factory safe.

I wouldn't know where to begin.

I can help.

Dermot: You?

I know I'm not your
biggest fan Mr. Millington,

but surely we can
look after the workers

and both get what we want?

Please, Dermot.

Be your own man,
not Uncle Arthur's.

I'm willing to
negotiate if you are?

I suppose we can talk.

♪

You can relax now,
Mr. Millington.

One of the catwalk models
is stuck on a train.

-I don't suppose you...
-No chance.

I make 'em, I don't model 'em.

But don't worry, I will find
you a willing volunteer.

♪

Those two seem to be
getting along better.

He's paying us the overtime.

And he's agreed to
discuss a small pay rise.

-How are you, Daisy?
-Much better, thank you.

It's like Bernice
says - who needs a man

when you've got good friends?

♪

Erm - I've been
wanting to apologise.

I don't think I
fully appreciated

the efforts women such as
you put in during the w*r.

Or since.

You never did compliment me

on that crumble I made in March.

March?

I... I apologise.

I also have to tell
you that I have decided

not to go ahead with my
production of Lysistrata.

I'm sure there are, well, less
salacious texts we could choose.

-There certainly are.
-Ah, good.

So... [ Clears throat
] where is Peggy?

Ah.

Right, now your
esteemed colleagues here

have been talking
to me, WPC Button.

About how much they value you.

So, the station would like
to offer you a gesture

of appreciation
for your service.

Thank you so much.
