k*lled Mr. Kassam was fired

from the same g*n that was
used to k*ll Mr. Dunwoody.

Liz? You okay?

LIZ: Why wouldn't I be?

SUZIE: The police asked me

about some sort of medallion.

implies a medallion
at the other.

The k*ller left a medallion at
the first crime scene after all.

This one has "faith"
written on it.

Process it, please, Alice...
I want it fast-tracked.

Okay.

The first m*rder was
"faith," the second "hope,"

the next would be "charity."

There's going to be a
third m*rder? TANIKA: No.

We're going to catch
the k*ller first.

All planned leave, training,

annual reviews...
it's all cancelled,

and I want a full update
on both m*rder cases

in my office in ten minutes.

And...

The medallion was found
by some civilians.

I've decided to hire
them as advisers.

Not that woman that was here!

No.

Christ for that!

I thought you'd
lost the plot then.

I mean her and her two friends.

I'll get my team to put together

Thank you. Oh, and you'll
want to know about Chris Bott.

We had to release
him without charge.

He was in the United States

at the time of both murders.

He's in the clear.

Even though it was
his g*n that was used.

We think it was his g*n.

There's an old door at
the back of his house.

Anyone could have
picked the lock, got in,

stolen it. [groans]

SUZIE: This is mad!

Every time we find someone
that could've done it,

they've got an alibi.

JUDITH: Well, that's
not what's worrying me.

Why? What's worrying you?

What if the k*ller's
someone else entirely?

Someone we haven't

Bott, for that matter.

There's no one who's
connected to either case?

Not that I could find.
Not even Elliot Howard?

He's not on the list.
Bit of a dead end, Sarge?

Sorry, ma'am.

JUDITH: Right.

Did Tanika say you
could take these?

Uh, not exactly, no.

But I worked through them
last night, and I must say,

she's very good at her job.

I couldn't find a single
lead she didn't follow up

or a clue or whatever.

Well, that's good to know.

But Suzie, I did find
Iqbal's bank statements.

They don't show any large
deposits in the last six months.

So it's like he said.

SUZIE: Are you a
millionaire yet, Iqbal?

I really don't want to
talk about this, Suzie.

Sorry.

Come on in, Luna.

JUDITH: Well,
whatever happened,

he didn't end up
getting a lot of money.

But there is this loose end.

In Tanika's report,

she says she saw a redheaded
woman at Stefan's funeral,

sitting on a nearby
bench in the graveyard.

But the woman left before
she had time to speak to her.

COLIN: Receive him, we pray,

into the mansions of the saints.

Look also with favor
on those who mourn...

Yes, yes, I saw her, too.

She's someone I know from
yoga... her name's Liz Curtis.

Hold on... Liz Curtis
was at Stefan's funeral?

Well, not exactly.

But she was watching.

Why? Is that a surprise?

Damn right, it is...
that woman is a k*ller!

What? If we're
looking for someone

who could've carried
out these murders,

well, then, Liz Curtis
has k*lled before.

♪ ♪

SUZIE: We can help
you here, Tanika.

The woman you saw
at Stefan's funeral

is Liz Curtis.

She runs the Marlow
Rowing Center

with her husband, Danny.
How do you know that?

I used to dogsit for
her a few years ago.

[exhales] Anyway,
there was a really

bad flood... loads of
damage to the center.

They had to put it up for sale.

SUZIE: I mean, the whole
town rallied around

and got it back up on its
feet, but let me tell you,

Liz never wanted to sell
it in the first place.

[engine stops]

And then, one day,

out of the blue, Liz
stopped using me.

I mean, whatever...
it happens.

But the next time I saw
Liz, Rollo wasn't with her.

She said the vet
had to put him down,

but, but was being
really weird about it.

So I asked around,

and I found out there'd been
nothing wrong with Rollo.

[breathes deeply] SUZIE: So
that is what I mean when I say

she has k*lled before.

A dog. It's still m*rder.

[inhales]: Okay, let me see what we
can dig up on Liz Curtis this end.

Oh, and check any links between
Liz Curtis and Elliot Howard.

Are you at the rowing center?

[inhales] What's that?

TANIKA [on phone]: You mustn't
speak to Liz Curtis. What's...

I want you all to come
to the station at once.

Sorry, the reception's very bad.

You're breaking up.

Do you think they bought that?

[whispering]: Shh! We
haven't turned it off.

You haven't turned
the phone off?

SUZIE: You didn't
turn it off?!

No, look, look, give it to me.

Where is it? All
right. [phone chirps]

BRENDAN: Jason?

I reckon we need to
do a background check

on Elizabeth Curtis from
the Marlow Rowing Center...

any links she might have
with either of the victims.

Oh, and Elliot Howard, as well.

If Mrs. Potts says
he's involved, then,

well, he's involved.

Isn't that right...

Sarge?

[others murmuring]

[kids calling,
exclaiming in background]

SUZIE: Morning, Liz.

Suzie, Becks.

You looking to go
out on the river?

BECKS: Not exactly.

We wanted to talk to you
about Stefan Dunwoody.

Who?

Stefan Dunwoody.

No, I, I don't know the name.

Then why was you at his funeral?

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

I've really got to
get back to work.

SUZIE: You can't
just walk away, Liz.

Please don't follow
me. But she...

Becks saw you
there. It's true.

I was taking a break
in the cemetery.

And these people
came out the church,

and I didn't know
whose funeral it was.

JUDITH: Okay.

So what about Iqbal Kassam?

He's the, he's the taxi driver
who was, who was shot, right?

Just like Mr. Dunwoody was shot.

I didn't know him. JUDITH:
Are you sure of that?

Excuse me, um, I
really need to get on.

See you at yoga on Tuesday!

Does that look like an
innocent woman to you?

Has anyone got a bag on them?

Poo bag? That'll do nicely.

After the break-in at Stefan's,

the police found
fresh fingerprints

on the door handle.

BECKS: You think it was Liz

who stole the painting?

Well, she's guilty of something.

SUZIE: That's Liz's
husband, Danny.

We should talk to
him... come on.

[knock at door, door opens]

SUZIE: Hi, Danny.

Hey, Suze. You all right?

Have you got a minute?

Sure... what's up? BECKS: Wow!

Is this all Liz?

[chuckles]:
Certainly is, yeah.

I used to row once, too.

That's how we met.

But then she won a gold
medal at the Sydney Olympics,

so compared to her, I
was nothing. [chuckles]

So, um, how can I help? We're
here on a police matter.

[laughs]: No way!
Yes way. [chuckles]

Just wanted to ask you about
Liz and Stefan Dunwoody.

Well, what do you want to know?

Well, did Liz know Stefan?

Sure... sorry, who are you?

Oh, of course... Judith Potts.

And I'm Becks Starling.

Although it says "Rebecca" on
here... I do yoga with your wife.

Um, you were saying
that Liz knew Stefan?

Yeah, had done for years.

Ask her yourself.

She was pretty shaken
up when he died.

It's not my thing, art, but
Liz is into all that stuff.

I mean, they weren't
close or anything,

but, well, she was definitely
upset about his death,

no question about it.

What about Iqbal Kassam?

You, you mean the other
guy that got shot?

Yeah, did she know him at all?

You're asking 'cause she used
him the other day, aren't you?

No.

I mean yes.

Yes, we are.

Look, the car was
in for a service,

so Liz said she had to get a
taxi to do the weekly shop.

That's all.

I mean, she could've
used any taxi firm.

She just happened to use his.

[phone ringing] Sorry.

I've got to be in
Nottingham later on.

I'm coaching the GB
Under-19s kayak team.

Wow, that's amazing... congrats.

Thanks... um,
I'll talk to Liz,

and if she's got anything to
say about that taxi journey,

I'll get her to call the police.

Let them know. SUZIE:
Yeah, that'd be great.

Thanks, Danny.

Hm, see you around.
[chuckles]: Bye.

BECKS: Bye! Nice to meet you.

Well, that's a
turn-up for the books.

Everything Liz
told us was a lie.

She knew Stefan Dunwoody!

And she used Iqbal's taxi.

Assuming he's
telling us the truth.

I wonder if there's
a way to find out.

Maybe there is.

A dog walker has many keys.

But Tanika said we had to go
straight back to the station...

We're not going to do
that, though, are we?

No.

Curtis's number in my phone.

Could you look it up for me?

Yeah, of course.

Here's Liz's number. Great.

All Iqbal's bookings

came through this landline,

so if I can see his
call register...

[phone button beeping]

There, okay.

So Iqbal's register says

that Liz Curtis called him last
week, just like Danny said.

I don't understand...
why would she lie to us?

No, Judith!

You've not opened Iqbal's
post, have you? [chuckles]

Well, it was just lying there.

But it's against the
law! Ah, but is it?

Yes!

So what've you got?

It's a letter from Wahab
and Rahman Solicitors.

You're incorrigible.

Oh, good... I'd hate
to be corrigible.

Solicitors writing to Iqbal?

They've got hold of a copy
of Iqbal's neighbor's will

from the probate office.

He was a man called
Ezra Harrington. Ezra!

That's the man who died...
Luna's original owner.

They're saying that Ezra's old
will left his estate to Iqbal.

Is this the reason
that Iqbal thought

he was going to be rich?

So why didn't he get the money?

Um, they're saying that
two weeks before he died,

Ezra drew up a new will
that replaced the old one.

Or rather, Ezra's
solicitor drew it up,

a man called Giles Bishop.

He was also sole executor...

Oh, hold on.

Giles Bishop was also
the sole beneficiary.

What? His solicitor inherited

his whole estate?

I think we need to find out
who this Giles Bishop is.

to the prints that we lifted

off the notepad that
Mrs. Potts brought in.

We need to arrest

Liz Curtis, now.

SUZIE: It's like the
needle in a haystack.

There's writing on both sides.

BECKS: We just have
to be methodical.

Work through this
one piece at a time.

I can't read anything this
small at the best of times.

Oops... sticky fingers.

Oh, this is impossible.

We ain't never gonna be able
to put this back together.

BECKS: Oh, I think
I've found a shiny one.

Hello? TANIKA [on
phone]: Judith.

Are you anywhere
near Liz Curtis?

JUDITH: No.

Why? Oh, hold on.

Go on.

TANIKA [on speaker]:
We've credible evidence

that links her to both murders.

You think Liz Curtis
is the k*ller?

TANIKA: We're bringing
her in for questioning.

What links have you found
between her and Elliot Howard?

Well, none so far, but...

JUDITH: And what
about Giles Bishop?

TANIKA: Who's Giles Bishop?

We think he's involved
in Iqbal's m*rder.

Liz can't be a
Freemason, she's a woman.

JUDITH: The medallions are
unlikely to have come from her.

Look, we're heading to
the rowing center now.

I just want to make
sure you were safe.

Speak later.

Nobody can find Mr. Curtis,

and he's not
answering his phone.

He's our man, isn't he?
TANIKA: He's in Nottingham.

What? Mr. Curtis coaches
a youth kayaking team.

A uniform just broke
the news to him

in his hotel over


Well, then...

Well, maybe he shot his
wife before he left.

Paramedics say Mrs. Curtis had
been dead less than an hour.

Any other theories?

[stammers, sighs]

This is our fault.

We were messing around
in Giles Bishop's office

when the m*rder*r came for Liz.

No, we weren't messing around.

What if it was
Giles who shot her?

You think he had time
to come down here

and do that after I left him?

It's possible.

But his problem's with
Iqbal, not with Liz.

Why would he want to k*ll her?

Wait.

Where's Judith?

JUDITH: Excuse me... sorry.

Where is he?

Where have you been
this afternoon?

[groans, sighs]

I asked you a question.

We've been holding an auction

And when did that start?

At 10:00 this morning.

Since which time,
I've been in front

of at least 50
people at all times.

Why?

There's been another m*rder.

Well, it can't have had anything

I'll get that.

So sorry for your loss.

We need to find out

We don't.

Suzie, we shouldn't be here.

This is wrong.

DANNY [crying]: I
still can't believe it.

TANIKA: I can't imagine

Everyone liked her.

Loved her, you know.
TANIKA: Of course.

DANNY: I'm the difficult one.

The one who loses his temper.

She just got on with things.

She's a, she's a doer, you know.

I'm sorry to ask, but, um,

when did you last see her?

Yesterday.

Before I left for Nottingham.

And how was she?

A bit out of sorts, maybe.

In, in what way?

Distracted.

Snappy, you know? [chuckles]

I wanted to ask her
what was wrong, but...

It's too late now.

Do you have any idea
what was upsetting her?

DANNY: These murders
really bothered her.

She's been acting

Wouldn't tell me
