04x04 - The Petrov Extension

[bunniefuu]

[BIRDS SCREECHING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

MAN: Good to see you.

ROWAN: Ah! Bloody things.

Here, let me.

Cheer up.

Tonight is all about you.

I hate evenings like this.

All that backslapping.

People telling me
how brilliant I am.

It's a lifetime achievement
award, presented in a hotel

you designed yourself, in front
of an audience of your peers.

Most architects would swap
places with you in a heartbeat.

Stop scratching, darling.

You'll only make it worse.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

MAN: Thank you.

FRANCIS: Thank you.

MAN: Ah, Francis.

-Hello.
-Lovely to see you.

How do I look?

You look lovely, darling.

Have you noticed how this
terrace is perfectly positioned

to pick up the reflexion
of the light in the river?

I must say...

I think we got it right.

You mean,
you got it right, darling.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hmm.

-[PHONE BEEPS]
-Hello?

Really?

Alright, I'll come down.

If he arrives,
you will be nice to him.

Promise?

I promise.

I'll be nice to him.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

-VENETIA: These ones?
-Yes.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

WOMAN: [OVER LIFT SPEAKER]
Ground floor.

-[LIFT BEEPS]
-G oing up.

[WOMAN SHRIEKS IN THE DISTANCE]

The penthouse.

-[MAN COUGHS]
-[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

What's happened?

Rowan?

Rowan? Rowan, where are you?

[SHRIEKING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT SPEAKING OVER RADIO]

DI MAX: Give him a gentle
reminder, please, Jess.

DC JESS: Can you keep him back?
Please? Keep behind the tape.

DI MAX: Layla?

-Evening.
-Hi.

Um... We have an IC1 Male.

Early indications are that he
fell from the penthouse balcony.

Uh, do we know who he is?

The guest of honour
for the evening,

Rowan Jameson, the architect.

We mustn't let anyone leave
without them being interviewed.

MAN: I didn't do anything.

This is ridiculous.

I'm the victim of an as*ault.

-OFFICER: Put him in the car.
-MAN: What? Why?

Who was that?

Victor Budimir. He was found
outside Rowan Jameson's room.

See you later.

We were getting ready.

I went down to reception
to collect some flowers.

But when I came back,
Victor Budimir

was sitting in the corridor.

Is he somebody you know well?

Not really.

He and Rowan used
to work together, but

it's complicated.

I can't believe I encouraged him
to come to our room.

Take your time, Mrs Jameson.

I told Rowan to be nice to him.
[SNIFFLES]

Victor was due
to present Rowan's award.

You'd need to be strong
to lift someone

-over these railings.
-And quick.

Helped that Jameson
was on his own.

Yeah. Yeah.
But did the attacker know that?

Was it a coincidence
that his wife

was out of the room,
or was it timed?

You don't think
he threw himself off, do you?

I mean performative suicide
in front of his peers?

What, like Tosca?

Oh, um.

Well, she died throwing herself
from the battlements.

I knew that.

Have you ever seen Tosca?

Er, it's an opera, isn't it?

-By Panini.
-Puccini?

I knew that. Connor's taken
Victor Budimir's statement.

He claims that he was assaulted

by a man who rushed out
of the Jameson Suite

and elbowed him in the face.

Well, have we found anyone else
who's seen the man?

Not yet.

He was wearing a baseball cap,

about six foot, I suppose,
white, dark clothing.

Did you challenge him?

No, I didn't have time to react.

I was...
It all happened so quickly.

I didn't even see his face.

You didn't run after him.

Have you ever been
hit in the face? No.

No. I collapsed to the floor

and the, the lift doors opened
and Venetia came out.

I didn't, I didn't
know what to say.

Mr Budimir, I believe
you and Rowan Jameson

had known each other
a long time.

Yeah. Yeah. We, we studied
together at Cambridge

In 2009,

you published this article
accusing him of plagiarism.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean,
that's all ancient history.

We, we had our ups and downs,

we were business partners
for a while, and, um,

then he decided
he wanted to go it alone.

Well, only last year
he reported you to the police

with allegations
of harassments and threats.

That would suggest
you have a motive.

[CHUCKLING] No, it wouldn't.

This is absurd.

We had professional
disagreements.

So you didn't k*ll
Rowan Jameson?

No, of course not.

He sustained multiple fractures
in his arms

from where he would have
tried to break his fall.

He also suffered a dislocation

of the neck and spine,
and traumatic brain injury.

He'd have died almost as soon
as he hit the ground.

How long would the
fall have taken?

Less than three seconds,
depending on body weight,

wind speed, resistance.

You did physics at school,
didn't you, Max?

A while ago.

I found some fragments of skin
under his fingernails.

Jameson had psoriasis,
so it may simply just be his

from scratching himself,
but it could also be

from his attacker,
or a mixture of the two.

Well, he'd presumably
have grabbed anything

to stop himself falling.

Exactly.

Unfortunately,
treatments for psoriasis

tend to corrupt DNA,
but we do what we can.

And, er Victor Budimir.

He was examined
at the crime scene.

So some people
will injure themselves

to make it look
as if they've been attacked.

And he did have a bloody nose,

but we don't think
that's the case here.

Less than three seconds.

Would that be long enough for
your life to flash before you?

Depends what you've done
with your life.

All right, Connor,

There's no CCTV
at the Royal Chelsea at all.

-What?
-Management-side privacy issues.

Maybe it's one of those hotels

where you can rent a room
for a couple of hours.

Like a love hotel.

Stayed in one of those in Japan.

-What were you doing there?
-I was on holiday.

No. What were you doing...

None of your business, Connor.

We're interviewing witnesses
who were in the vicinity,

and I spoke to the hotel.

And here's the curious thing.

They said they always deliver
flowers to people's rooms.

So it's possible someone wanted
Venetia out of the way.

We should talk to her again.

Mrs Jameson, Victor Budimir
said he was attacked by a man

in a baseball cap who came
running out of your room.

Did you see this man?

No, I didn't.

Surely he's just making it up.

We wanted to discuss
the phone call from reception.

The hotel manager said
that they always

deliver flowers to guests rooms.

It was a busy night.

Well, it's possible
that whoever called

simply wanted to make sure
that you weren't in the room.

Did you recognise the voice?

No.

Any indication
who the flowers were from?

No. It was just a printed card
that said "Congratulations."

Did your husband
have any enemies?

Mrs Jameson?

He wasn't the easiest man.

He liked people
who shared his point of view.

I would sometimes say to him,

"Why do you have to be
at w*r with everyone?"

Anything recently
that comes to mind?

Well, obviously,
there's the disagreement

over the Petrov extension
at Saint Cuthbert's.

I assume you know about that.

Rowan was determined
to oppose it.

And how did you feel about it?

Me,

I thought it was
an amazing design.

Did you have many disagreements?

From time to time.

But you were happily married.

Perfectly.

Thank you.

Rowan Jameson was the chair

of the university
planning committee...

Thank you, at Cambridge.

They're due to vote next week

on an application
from St Cuthbert's College

to build a modern extension
which we can see here.

If it ever gets built
it would be apparently

the most environmentally
innovative building in the UK.

Looks like a spaceship.

Well, the design has
proved controversial.

The building is being funded
by the Petrov Foundation.

Francis Petrov,
originally from Belarus.

He's lived in the UK
for decades.

He's got his name
on art galleries,

hospitals, museums,

all in the name
of the Petrov Foundation.

His Who's Who entry describes
him as a philanthropist.

Well, according
to Venetia Jameson

Rowan had decided
to oppose the extension.

Which would hardly have
pleased Francis Petrov.

Exactly.

Hold on a minute.

Petrov
was at the awards ceremony too,

or at least
his name's on the list.

What do we know about Petrov's
environmental causes?

Apparently he wants to build

a new botanical greenhouse
at Kew Gardens.

The Petrov Conservatory.

Must ask Roz about that.

-How is Roz?
-Hmm.

She's in Snowdonia camping
with her son.

Okay.

Nothing else to say
on the subject?

I'll keep you informed.

Morning. Francis Petrov.

DI Arnold, this is DS Walsh.

You are here
about Rowan Jameson of course.

I find it hard to believe

who on earth would want
to do something like this.

That's what we're here
to investigate.

Mmm.

Please.

Er, Rowan Jameson was chair

of the university
planning committee,

which was about to make
a decision on the extension

you were funding
at Saint Cuthbert's College.

Mm-hmm, he was.

And from what we understand,
he'd made it pretty clear

that he was opposed to it.

Ooh. Oh, I see
what you're getting at. Hmm.

Throwing people from hotel

bedroom windows
is the modus operandi

of certain elements
of the former USSR.

I am from Belarus. Ergo,

I must be behind this.

Were you?

Come along, my dear chap.

I have lived in Chelsea
for 30 years.

The late Queen was kind enough

to bestow an honorary
knighthood upon me.

I am shortly due to be
granted British citizenship.

Would I endanger all of that
for a decision

which might have delayed
my plans for a few months?

Wouldn't it have been
a rejection rather than a delay?

What can I say?

Rowan was due to stand down

as chair of that committee
at the end of the year.

Why was he opposed
to the extension?

He was such a champion
of modern architecture.

Oh, yes, he was a champion
of modern architecture,

designed by Rowan Jameson.

You were on the guest list
for last night's event.

That's right.
I was there briefly.

I went with my driver, Daniil.

I went along to pay tribute
to a great man.

Why did you leave
before our colleagues

had a chance to speak to you?

Well, I had a another
engagement.

Now you're just about to ask me
if I saw what happened.

I didn't. Myself and Daniil
had left before the drama began.

Erm,
this is the famous extension.

Yes, it's rather
wonderful, isn't it?

A little bold
for some people's tastes,

but then Newton's mathematical
bridge in Cambridge

was controversial in its time.

Not least, because Newton died


Well, you know
your history, DI Arnold.

A man after my own heart.

So the principal
of Saint Cuthbert's College

is Charlotte Kendall.

And guess what?
She studied architecture

at Cambridge with Rowan Jameson
and Victor Budimir.

When they were students,
they started a movement

called
"Architects for the World."

They published a manifesto
advocating

putting sustainability
at the heart of design.

It sounds like they were
well ahead of their time.

When Rowan was 25 years old,

he won
the Chaloner Award for design.

The youngest ever recipient.

Charlotte Kendall is a champion
of the Petrov extension.

Whereas Rowan Jameson,
as we know,

was determined
to stop it happening.

So did they fall out, too?

You know,

I think this calls
for a day out in Cambridge.

Shall I drive?

Absolutely not.

MAX: I haven't been
to Cambridge for ages.

LAYLA: Me neither.

MAX: What? Even though
you have a family connection?

LAYLA: I know.
I've been meaning to visit.

So, your cousin. Erm...

-Martha.
-Martha.

Did she study here?

No, but she's lived
here for ages.

She went to Trinity in Dublin.

Is that sort of like
the Irish Oxbridge?

Martha would say Oxbridge
is like the English Trinity.

Ooh, very good.

She's DI McGuire now.

Well, then she's done very well.

You saying I haven't?

No, of course not.

Are you going to see her
while you're up here?

Well, let's see how we get on.
We've got a case to solve.

Give her a call.

She might be helpful.

Careful what you wish for.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll call her.

I'm sorry.

Hello,

I'm June Goldman, Kendall's PA,

and I'm terribly sorry
for the inconvenience,

but I'm afraid Mrs Kendall
has been delayed

and won't be back
until tomorrow morning.

Where is she?

She's in Scotland
with her husband, Simon.

He usually flies them himself,

but the weather wasn't
good enough for takeoff,

so they're taking
the overnight train

and, well, should be here
first thing tomorrow.

Can you let Mrs Kendall know
that we need to speak to her?

Of course. Would 9:00 a.m. suit?

-Thank you.
-Lovely.

I...

I must say, I was
very sorry to hear

what happened to Rowan Jameson.

Such an awful thing.

Did you know him, Miss Coleman?

Oh, a long time ago.

Not well.

We'll see you in the morning.

Lovely.

You know,

I think one of us
should get back to London.

Well, you go, I'll stay
and talk to Charlotte Kendall.

Sure?

-Yeah.
-Thanks, Layla.

[LAYLA CHUCKLES]

Hello.

Hi.

Look at you.

Oh, my goodness.

It's been so long.

No, we're just
here on police business.

Yeah, thanks.

This is DI Max Arnold.

-Pleased to meet you.
-You, too.

So are you here about
the Rowan Jameson case?

Well, what a shocker that is.

How long are you here for?

Well, Max needs to get back,
but I'm staying over.

-That's great.
-Well, actually, can you

recommend me a cheap hotel?

You know what budgets
are like these days?

Sorry. Don't be ridiculous.

If you're staying here,
you're staying with me.

Are you sure?

Am I sure? Yeah, I'm sure.

Chrissie is away. She's fixing
up some rich fella's garden.

I'll make us a meal.

And besides, when is
the last time you saw Elise?

Must have been ages. How is she?

Yeah, she's...

She's quite the young lady now.

Although Rowan Jameson

was k*lled in Chelsea,
DI McGuire...

No. Please call me Martha.

He lived in Cambridge,
as you know.

Any information we can share
might be helpful.

Oh, well,
it's whatever you want.

I'm at your disposal,
just the opportunity to work

with my little cousin here.

You know, it's a treat. Come on.

Er, these officers, these...

you know, these officers
are investigating a m*rder.

Okay. Thank you.

You're a dream. Thank you.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Dressing. Fridge.

Wine.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUFFLED ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

Elise.

Hi. Look who it is.

Hi, Auntie Layla.

You don't have to call me that.

I didn't know
you were in Cambridge.

Mum never tells me anything.

What about she's here
on business, sweetheart.

Are you going to eat anything?

I'll sort myself out later.
Don't worry.

So how is school, Elise?

I like it.

I've got exams coming up.

Have you got a lot
of revision to do?

When I can hear myself think.

[VOLUME DECREASES]

I didn't know your mum
was such a good cook.

She's good at making a mess.

Guess who cleans it up later?

No, no, don't be taken in
by this "I'm a grown-up" act.

Elise is a sweet and loving girl

who likes nothing more
than to curl up on the sofa

with her mother
and watch Gilmore Girls.

Don't be embarrassing, Mum.

[SIGHS]

MARTHA: What's he like, then?

-Your DI?
-Max?

He's, he's great.

I mean, he lives on a houseboat.

What?

Oh, my God,

do you remember
those holidays we had

in the Shannon
when we were kids?

I can still smell the loo.

Exactly. We never lived anywhere

without a fully functioning
sewage system.

It's page one.

What can you tell me
about Rowan Jameson?

I mean, was he
a popular figure here?

I don't know. I never met him,
but people always said

that the Jamesons
were a bit superior.

What, including Venetia?

They call her the cat
who got the cream,

but they always say that
about the second wife.

I mean, who can say
what first attracted her

to the multimillionaire,

internationally
famous architect?

[CHUCKLES]
Shall we finish the bottle?

Mm-hmm.

So, how's your love life?

Well, I was...

with this guy John for a while,
but it fizzled out.

To be honest, I don't know
how people manage to combine

long term relationships
with this job.

Mmm. Well,

don't die wondering,

well, we both come
from large families.

And look at us, I've got one,
you've got none.

Elise is great.

Yeah, yeah.
She's got those Welsh genes.

Bolshy.

Does she see much of her dad?

Mmm, not really, no.

I mean, she was so young
when Dermott and me split up.

It's just me, her and Chrissie
now, we make it work.

Oh, you gave me a shock.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

So, Zoe, who called this in?

Have we sealed off the area?

Obviously, I don't want
anyone leaving the college.

Okay, hey.

Okay, so what are we talking,
strangulation or...

No, no, no, don't, don't,
don't touch that.

Yeah,
because we don't want anyone

contaminating the crime scene.

It's just, you know,
basic forensics

and just put some gloves on.

-Max?
-MARTHA: Yeah.

OFFICER: Sorry, ma'am.

-MARTHA: No problem.
-Can you hear me?

-Time of death. Any ideas?
-MAX: [ON PHONE] Layla.

-Is the body still warm?
-Can you hear me?

The Kendalls' PA
has been found dead.

June Goldman.

LAYLA: Yeah, that's right.
June Goldman.

I know. Incredible.

So put that scarf
in an evidence bag.

You do have an evidence bag.

You don't have an evidence bag.
Okay.

Look, do you need me
to come back up?

No. Martha's with me,

so we, no, no,
stand back, please,

because this is
a crime scene or...

Sorry.
Did you discover the body?

-MAN: Yes.
-Okay. My colleague here

is gonna take
a written statement.

I'm also gonna need a list
of anyone who had access

-to the principal's house.
-MAX: Layla.

I'm gonna need to know about
doors, window locks, alarms.

You know, anything that looks
like it's been tampered with.

-Okay?
-Yes. Yes, ma'am.

Okay. Good lad.

-Layla?
-Max. I'll call you back.

Right.

My DS is on annual leave
in Lanzarote,

and I've been left
with a 12-year-old

who hasn't started shaving yet.

Madam, you can't go in there.

No. What's happening? No!
Let me through! I live here.

I'm sorry,
you can't come any closer.

This is a crime scene.
You must stay back.

My name is DI McGuire
from Cambridge Police. You are?

Charlotte Kendall.

Okay. Okay, right.

I will be with you
in a minute, okay?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

What's happening?

Mrs Kendall, I need you
to stand back. Please.

Darling, we must let the police
get on with their job.

[CRYING] I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.

So how long had June Goldman
worked for you, Mrs Kendall?

How can you remember, darling,

Er, she joined us when we moved

into the principal's house,
so 10 years ago now.

And, er...

had she any family?

No, she never married.

There was a cousin
in New Zealand, I believe.

Right. Is there anyone you know
who might have wished her harm?

No. Everyone liked June.

And this must have been
a burglary or something.

The college porter has access
to the principal's house.

-Anyone else?
-I don't think so.

You don't think so,
or you're sure?

No one else has a set of keys,

apart from June herself,
of course.

DS Walsh.
She's from Chelsea, CID,

and she has some questions
about the Rowan Jameson case.

Thanks.

I believe you knew
Mr Jameson well, Mrs Kendall.

Rowan was a...

He was an old friend of mine,
and I was so shocked

when we heard the news,
and I just wanted to get home.

When did you last see him?

Well, it was a while ago,

we'd had a difference of opinion

about the new building
that we were planning for.

Saint Cuthbert's.

I understand that you've been
very supportive of the scheme.

Well, the Petrov Foundation
made a very generous bequest,

and it's my job to put the
interests of the college first.

And you have no insight
into who might have

wanted Mr Jameson dead?

No. None at all.

I mean,

it's too horrible to imagine.

So will that be all
for now, please?

I think my wife needs some time
to absorb this dreadful news.

Of course, we, we understand.

The scene-of-crime officers

will be a while longer
conducting forensic tests.

They will need
to take DNA samples

and fingerprints from you.

And I'm afraid you won't be
allowed back in the study.

Yes, we understand. That's fine.

We'll do our best to resolve
this as soon as we can.

Thank you very much
for your time.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

These are the students
I was telling you about,

the architects for the World.

They look so young.

There's Rowan, Victor Budimir
and Charlotte Kendall.

Who's the fourth one?

That's Rowan's first wife,
India Vanstone.

I never knew India was married
to Rowan Jameson.

I know her. She's the chair
of the conservation society.

Wait, was she
at the Royal Chelsea event?

Er...

Her name's not on the list.

Right. We need to talk to her.

You want me to set that up?

No, I'll,
I'll contact her myself.

Hold on. Incoming.

Layla.

Layla.

LAYLA: DI McGuire,
meet DC Jess Lombard

and DC Connor Pollock.

Hi. How are you all doing?

Well, as I think you all know,
June Goldman was found

strangled earlier this morning.

Any obvious suspects?

Well, no, not at this stage.

I mean, the SOCO team are still
examining the crime scene.

But DI Arnold,
I know this is irregular,

but my DS is on annual leave.

Is there any chance
I could hold on to DS Walsh

just for a day or two?

Yeah.
Are you okay with that, Layla?

Well, it could be helpful
to stay here

to see what more I can find out
about the Jameson case.

And she was the only other

senior officer
at the crime scene.

So. But you know,
it's your decision.

No. Sure. Fine.

Oh, okay. Well, many thanks.

MAX: Did Charlotte Kendall shed
any light on the Jameson case?

She acknowledged that
they were on different sides

in relation
to the Petrov extension.

But they were old friends
and go back years.

It's all been overshadowed
by June Goldman's death.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Could you interview her again?

What? No. I was going to say,
is it po...

Yeah, yeah, we can do that.

Yeah, we'll see you
in five minutes.

I'm sorry.
We need to go. Will we...

We'll talk again later
and compare notes.

Yeah, great to meet you.

Come on.

[SIGHS]

-[STUDENTS CHANTING]
-No blood money.

No blood money.

So this is the site
of the new extension.

Yeah, that's the plan.
Apparently, this building

is of insufficient architectural
distinction to be left as it is.

STUDENTS: No blood money.

It's a busy spot
for a discreet meeting.

Yeah.

Leave that to me.

No blood money.

Hi. Hiya. Yeah. I'm Detective
Inspector Martha McGuire

from Cambridge Police.

We're here to take your names
for our records.

Just to warn you,
we do share the information

with university authorities.

Just wondering, shouldn't you be

in lectures, you know,
continuing your education?

-Thank you. Thanks a million.
-Thanks.

Hello there.
Thank you for meeting me.

No problem.

Dear old Saint Cuthbert's Hall.

It's a great shame
what they're doing to it.

I used to perform there when
I was with Cambridge Footlights.

Were you an actor?

As an undergraduate, yes.

Well, impressions really.

That sort of thing. You know?

What can we do
for you, Mr Kendall?

There is something
I would like to mention.

Perhaps we'd go somewhere
a little quieter.

I run a charity,
the McGowan Trust.

We help ex-servicemen
who have trouble

adjusting to civilian life.

Sounds like admirable work.

Indeed.

Now there's a young man

who I'd been supporting
for a while, Cole McIlroy,

and I suggested to June
that she might want to give him

some manual work
around the college.

He fought in Afghanistan.

And, well,
he has a lot of problems.

When did he start working here?

About a month ago.

But things did not work out,
and June had to let him go.

So if you wanted to talk to him,

er, he lives in a hostel
in Homerton, Mowbray House.

He has a mobile phone,
but he almost never

-switches it on.
-Oh.

Why didn't you want to have

this conversation
in front of your wife?

Well, Cole has had a couple
of brushes with the law.

He would not have passed
the usual background checks.

So was he a danger
to the students?

No. No. Not at all.

No.

So you think he might have
m*rder*d June Goldman.

No, I'm not saying that.

He did not take it well
when June let him go.

He's not a bad sort, really.

Look, I'm a great believer

in giving everyone
a second chance, so...

I just thought you might
want to talk to him.

That's all I'm saying.

Okay.
Well, thank you, Mr Kendall.

You're welcome.

It was a starter marriage,

not something I'm proud of,
a long time ago.

Did you and Rowan stay in touch?

No, I hadn't spoken to him
in years.

Were you invited to this event
at the Royal Chelsea Hotel?

[CHUCKLES] Good Lord,
no, I wouldn't have gone anyway.

The great and good
of the architectural world

gathered to celebrate Rowan's
only true love, his career.

Which the Conservation Society
has done its best to frustrate.

Well, it's true.
We lobbied hard to stop

the Royal Chelsea being built.

The river is meant to be
an amenity for the people,

if they can get anywhere
near it these days.

Rowan would never have had time

for that sort of
development in his 20s.

So what changed?

Oh, money, status, power,

the usual stuff.

Why would Rowan decide to oppose
Petrov's extension in Cambridge?

Wasn't it supposed to be
the most

sustainable building in Britain?

[LAUGHS] The only thing
it's intended to sustain

is Francis Petrov's reputation.

[CHUCKLES]
You're not his biggest fan.

I know his methods, Max.

Threats, intimidation, bribery.

He won't stop at anything.

We're working
on an expose of him

with one of the Sunday papers.

His lawyers are all over us.

Look into his past, Max.

He's everything you might fear.

Believe me, I lock my doors
securely at night.

You realise he's trying
to redevelop the whole

of the Chelsea waterfront?

Then he's got a fight
on his hands.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[SIGHS]

[ALARM BUZZES]

Ooh. Can you smell that?

Mm-hmm.
We are gonna be high as kites.

Maybe we could score
a little something ourselves.

[LAUGHS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Who are you?

DI McGuire
from Cambridge police.

Are you Cole McIlroy?

What do you want to know?

We need to ask you
a few questions.

-Maybe later.
-And no, no, no, no.

I can't later.
I'm having tea with my cousin.

What do you think you're doing?

You can't come in here.

When did you last open
a window, Mr McIlroy?

It's broken.
You can't just barge in.

How long have you been
staying here, Cole?

Nine months. On and off.

-Better than sleeping rough.
-Mmm-hmm.

Tell us about June Goldman.

What do you want to know?

She gave me a gardening job
at the college.

It was mostly just weeding,
but I got fired.

Why?

I used to skin up on my break.

-She found me one day.
-Mm-hmm.

So you were smoking weed
while you did the weeds. Nice.

Yeah. Funny.

Well, June Goldman
was found dead

yesterday morning
in the college.

She'd been strangled.

-You're joking.
-Where were you?

I was here.

I haven't been out in ages.

You have to sign in and out.

Look, you can't come here
and accuse me like this.

I've got mental health problems.

Hmm.

Are you all right, Max?

What, me? Yeah.

You?

I'm fine.

It's odd to be
just the three of us.

Forensic results
from Ashley are in, Max.

Oh, go on.

There's no signs
of Victor Budimir's DNA

anywhere on Rowan Jameson's
body or clothes.

Wow.

He could have been working
with an accomplice.

The man in the baseball cap.

Precisely.

I've been reading this draft
of an article

that India Vanstone sent me.

It says that Petrov
made his fortune

acquiring mining
and quarrying rights.

In post-communist Belarus.

Dangerous places, quarries.
Just saying.

Didn't Petrov say
he left the hotel

before the m*rder took place?

Yeah.

That's not what the CCTV footage
from outside the hotel suggests.

You can see his car
setting off at 19:10,

after Rowan Jameson's
death was called in.

So what we need to know, Cole,

is where were you
between yesterday evening

and this morning at,
say, nine o'clock?

-I was fast asleep.
-On your own.

COLE: Yes.

That's a shame, isn't it?

Because it would help
if there was someone here

to vouch for you,
because otherwise

you could have snuck out
and k*lled June Goldman.

I didn't do it.

Oh, that's, that's funny, Cole.

I've interviewed a lot of people
over the years,

and that's a phrase
we hear a lot, isn't it,

-DS Walsh?
-Yep.

Yeah,
it's like the chorus of a song.

You could set it to music.

Someone's got it in for me.

Yeah, that's another one.

Are you gonna go through
all the greatest hits?

But it's true.

Talk to us about Simon Kendall.

-You mean the major?
-That's right.

He got me the job
at the college.

What do you want me to say?
It's not his fault I messed up.

No, no.

It sounds like
it was your fault.

So, listen, here is what
we're gonna do, Cole.

We're gonna take
some fingerprints

and a DNA sample,
and then we're gonna see

if they match with anything
at the crime scene.

And if they don't
then that's good news for you.

How does that sound?

Do I have any choice?

Does he have any choice,
DS Walsh?

I don't think he does.

Thanks for coming in Mr Petrov,

It's Sir Francis Petrov.

Apologies, Sir Francis.

If you have
an honorary knighthood,

are you permitted
to use the title "Sir"?

You are a stickler for detail,
DI Arnold. I like that.

When we last met, you said
you left the drinks reception

before Rowan Jameson's fall.

But the CCTV footage
would suggest otherwise.

No, I left
before the drama began.

Like I said before.

But it had nothing
to do with me.

Obviously. I was a guest.
Simple as that.

Even though you own the hotel.

The land was bought 10 years ago

by a UK company
registered in Luxembourg.

This company is owned
by PLX Assets,

whose headquarters
are in Minsk, Belarus.

Although PLX's website
offers no useful information,

we've managed to establish
its beneficial owner is you.

You are very thorough
with your research.

It's our job.

You commissioned Rowan Jameson
to design the Royal Chelsea,

but not the extension
at Saint Cuthbert's College.

-Why?
-Do I need a reason?

Was Rowan unhappy that he was
overlooked for the opportunity?

If he was still alive,
you could ask him.

We don't need to. We've been
looking at his emails.

He said that your decision
was motivated by malice,

pure and simple,
and that he felt sure

you would get
what was coming to you.

Well, architects
are notorious prima donnas.

Your replies to him
are just as colourful

Yes.

Ambitious infrastructure
projects

generally ruffle a few feathers.

You know there are still
people out there who believe

that Britain should be
forever preserved in aspic.

Like the chair
of the Conservation Society?

Ah, yes, yes that woman, indeed.

Very good example.
She cycles around Chelsea

with her nose in the air.

The world would be a better
place without the likes of her.

Is that a threat?

No, DI Arnold, I was joking.

So where were you
when Rowan Jameson was k*lled?

I was talking to people
as one does.

What about your driver?
What was he doing?

I have absolutely no idea.

Looking at his phone,
chatting to his girlfriend,

I can see where this line
of questioning is going.

I came here as a courtesy.

Now I have nothing to hide.

But because of who I am
and where I am from,

you are throwing these
absurd insinuations at me

without one shred of evidence.

Some people may call
that racism, for which

the Greater London Police
has a well-earned reputation.

If you wish to speak
to me again,

then I shall insist upon
my lawyer being present.

In the meantime, I have
nothing more to say, good day.

Okay, so it should be
up here on the right.

God, this place is like
a rabbit warren.

Hang on a minute.

-Who's that?
-That's Rowan Jameson's widow.

Hello, stranger. Yes.

LAYLA: Hi, Max.
I've just seen Venetia Jameson

coming out of a law firm
in Cambridge, Bogle and Brett.

Well, can you ask them
what she was doing there?

Er, I'm just following up
on a lead with Martha.

Okay. Okay.

Well, don't worry.

Well, leave it with us.

We'll call them.

Let me know what they say.

I'll talk to you later.

Hmm.

No, it's this way.

It's very tidy.

Not a speck of dust.

She didn't have a teenage
daughter, that's for sure.

I thought you made all the mess
and Elise tidied up.

Don't believe a word
that girl says.

-Oh, this is interesting.
-What?

Well, that's a young June,
isn't it?

Yeah, but look who that is.

WOMAN:
I told you not to do this.

MAN: I know!

WOMAN: Look, what happens to
your charity is your business.

But as I've said all along,
we keep a strict separation

from my work at the college.

MAN: Yes, I was simply trying
to help somebody.

WOMAN: That's what
you always say.

It's not as if Cole's
been the first,

Simon, I mean, with everything
else that's going on...

Sorry.

Are we interrupting something?

We can come back.

No, it's... no.

DI McGuire, DS Walsh.

Come in, please.

Can you sit down?

Welcome.

Erm...

Simon has told me
that Cole McIlroy has been

working here at the college,
and I want to assure you

that I knew nothing about this
when we spoke yesterday.

I can confirm that that's true.

Had I known,

I would have mentioned
the existence of these notes.

They were sent to the Porter's
Lodge over the last week.

Erm, what did you take these
to mean?

We're in the middle
of exam season,

and it's not unusual
for undergraduates

to feel aggrieved
if they don't get the

grades that they're expecting.

But now we're wondering

whether they might have
been sent by Cole.

Okay, well, leave them with us,
and we will have them examined.

We wanted to ask you
about this photo.

When my colleague and I,
DI Arnold

met June Goldman, we asked her
if she knew Rowan Jameson,

and she said only slightly
and a long time ago.

But, well, this suggests
they were close.

June worked for Rowan
when he was married to India.

-She worked for him.
-Mmm.

That's right.

Yes, it wasn't a secret
in any way.

I'm surprised you didn't know.

Well, I'm sure she
would have told us

if we'd had a chance
to talk to her properly.

Yeah, but the thing is,
you know, she's dead.

And so is Rowan.

DI McGuire.

Yeah.

Okay. Well, that's good to know.

Yeah, many thanks.

Okay, that was quick.

DNA results on the scarf
that was used to strangle June.

I think we're getting somewhere.

So that was signed when?

If Petrov wanted Rowan Jameson

dead for whatever reason, he
wouldn't have done it himself.

What do we think about
his driver, Daniil Adamovich?

He certainly looks capable of
throwing people off balconies.

What about Venetia?

Maybe she was in cahoots
with Victor Budimir.

Somebody else
carried out the m*rder,

but they were both involved.

Thank you.

You've been most helpful.

That was the law firm
that Venetia went to see

in Cambridge, Bogle and Brett.

Don't tell me they cited lawyer

client privilege
and wouldn't say a word.

I threatened them
with a warrant,

and they were
surprisingly chatty.

I'll give Layla a call.

Police! Open up!

Cole, morning.

Cole. Cole.

Cole.

So we got
the test results, Cole.

And would you believe it,
your DNA is all over the scarf

that was found
near June Goldman's body.

-I didn't do it.
-There you go again, Cole.

You've got to get
some new material.

Have you charged Victor Budimir?

He's been released, Mrs Jameson.

The forensic evidence
doesn't link him to the crime.

Then who k*lled Rowan?

When we've got information
we can share, we will do so.

Right now, I wanted to ask you
about financial

arrangements with your husband.

I believe you signed a prenup
before you got married.

That's not unusual.

I'm not suggesting it is.

You've asked me before
if we were happily married.

It's almost as if
you don't believe me.

Well, from what we understand,
you've asked to see

a full schedule
of Rowan's assets.

Rowan left strict instructions
about what disclosures

would be made
in the event of his death.

I mean, he had a meeting with
his lawyers only a month ago.

And?

Would it be fair to say
that you'll be better off

with Rowan dead than if your
marriage had come to an end?

My husband died
less than a week ago.

I can't believe you've
just asked that question.

On the night he died,
you said you received a call

from the hotel reception
to collect some flowers.

But reception
never made any such calls.

The flowers existed
and you saw them.

And we have now established
that they were paid for in cash

and sent from a flower shop
here in Cambridge.

We'll need to review
your phone and email records.

Fine. Go ahead.

I'm not some gold digger.

I trained
as an architect myself.

I had a promising career, then
I became Mrs Rowan Jameson.

After that, my main role
was to attend industry events

and look decorative.

She was pretty defensive.

You think she's got
something to hide?

Hard to say.
Quizzing her about her prenup

was always likely
to provoke a reaction.

How much longer
are you going to stay?

It's up to you.
There's no pressure.

Anyone would think
you're not missing me.

Of course we are.

You're an indispensable
member of this team.

Is that the sound of you
paying me a compliment?

Well, I think you must
have misheard.

Where are you?

Heading home.

Not for long.

Someone's trying to
redevelop the whole site.

Hang on. I'll call you back.

Can I help you?

DI Arnold, I've heard that
you're an accomplished pianist.

I thought you might appreciate

something that reflects
the culture of my homeland.

No, thank you.

No.

We're not all
former KGB spies, you know.

And yet you found out
where I live.

I ought to inform you that a

a company that I have
a controlling interest in

has applied for permission
to build a hotel

here, subject to planning

permission from
the Royal Borough of course.

Don't you think London
has enough luxury hotels?

Mmm. Well, it's a point of view.

I've come here to apologise.

When we last met, I was tetchy
for good reason.

I thought.

Of course, if you,
if you continue to regard me

as a suspect in your inquiries,

then it might seem
appropriate for you

to hand over the investigation
to somebody who has no,

no obvious conflict of interest.

Is that because you're worried
I might uncover the truth?

The truth holds no fear for me.

Goodbye, Mr Petrov.

So sorry about the book.

If I were to attempt
to influence the decision

of a public official,
then I can assure you

that I would do it
with something

far more substantial
than a book of sheet music.

Please,

enjoy.

[HORN HONKING]

Stop!

-Yes?
-Morning, Max.

Petrov's driver
has been brought in.

Apparently, his car
ran India Vanstone

off the road on Wigstone Street.

-Is she injured?
-Just bruised.

Petrov's here
in an interview room.

-He was in the car.
-He gets around.

He came to the boat yesterday.

Really?
He's called in his solicitor.

Right, I'm on my way.

-Thank you so much.
-Yeah, no problem.

DI Arnold.

We seem to be seeing

a surprising amount
of each other lately.

I understand your driver
just tried to run India

Vanstone off the road.

No, he did his best
to avoid her.

She practically threw herself
under the wheels.

We're waiting to interview him
with an interpreter.

Well, let's see what he says.

I'm sure you're aware of
the concept of joint enterprise.

Rowan Jameson, India Vanstone.
People who oppose your plans

seem to take their life
in their hands.

Why does this building in
Cambridge matter so much to you?

It matters
because I happen to believe

that education
will make the world

a far more civilised place.

I also believe in innovation

and design and sustainability.

I'm lucky enough
to be in a position

to commission buildings
of architectural merit

that will be remembered
by generations to come.

Detective Inspector.

Do you think you may have
been wrong about me all along?

Good news, Max.

The upside of India Vanstone
being knocked off her bike

is that we've now
got DNA samples

-from Petrov and his driver.
-Great.

If Ashley can isolate
Rowan Jameson's DNA

from the skin fragments
found under his fingernails,

we might be able to identify
the man in the baseball cap.

There's something else, too.

When you first spoke to India,
am I right in thinking she said

she hadn't been in touch
with the Jameson's for years?

Yes.

Take a look at Venetia's emails.

Hey, she's back.

We thought you defected.

Good to see you.

What did I miss?

We'll get you up to speed.

Victor.

Do you take sugar?

No, no. Don't worry.

Are you just in
Cambridge by chance?

No, I came to see you.

I wanted to thank you
for trying to get me

and Rowan back together and,

and to say how sorry I was
and what happened.

Thank you.

I know you encouraged the police
to think it was me.

No, I honestly.

No, no, no. It's fine.
It's fine.

But I am telling the truth.
There was a man, and I saw him

run out of your room.

My word.

I remember that,

we had it all
to look forward to then.

That was before my time.

I only ever admired Rowan.

Didn't agree
with everything he did,

but when he ended
our partnership, it was...

It was like a bereavement.

So how have you been, Victor?

Have you been busy?

Yeah, I mostly do
kitchen extensions.

That sort of thing.
I can't complain.

Do you know who k*lled Rowan?

-No...
-I think I do.

Have you told the police?

No, they
they wouldn't believe me.

Who are you
talking about, Victor?

I can't say that.

I don't have any evidence.

But who?

I'd better go.

Hello?

I've just had a very odd visit
from Victor Budimir.

He says he thinks he knows
what happened to Rowan.

India? Are you there?

DI McGuire.

So this is the famous houseboat.

Very civilised.

Francis Petrov wants to turn it
into a luxury hotel.

So listen, I hope I'm not
disturbing you,

but I just, I wanted to
thank you for, you know,

your help and the loan of Layla.

Glad it worked out.

She's a great girl, isn't she?

She'll be a top DI

when I'm
digging my vegetable patch.

Well, do you have
a vegetable patch?

No. The last one I saw
had two dead bodies in it.

So do you think
you've got the right man?

Well, all the evidence points
in the direction

of Cole McIlroy,
and my superintendent is

very keen to bring charges.
So...

-You don't sound sure.
-Yeah,

You're right, but I'm not sure
why I'm not sure.

How are things at your end?

Well,

lots of pieces
of the jigsaw on the table,

but we can't quite
put them together.

Yeah, well, I know the feeling.

I mean, all that fuss
about the extension

at Saint Cuthbert's
and I don't know whether it's

a masterpiece or a monstrosity,
but I find myself thinking,

is it really worth
k*lling somebody for?

People m*rder
for strange motives.

My dad always used to say,

"Focus on the Holy Trinity:
sex, money, revenge."

Wise man.

He also used to say, "Go back
to the scene of the crime."

DI Arnold for Chelsea C.I.D.

Good evening, sir.

Everything all right?

Interesting. I hadn't
seen one like this before.

It could have been dropped
on the night of the m*rder.

Yeah, but normally,
a hearing aid

emits a sound when it falls out,

so either this type doesn't
or it's damaged.

And the light you showed
would only have come on later

when the battery
was running low.

Where was it?

On the terrace
near where the body landed.

Might it have belonged
to Rowan Jameson?

But there's nothing
in his records

to suggest he used
a hearing aid.

I'll run the usual tests
if I can connect this

to the skin samples
taken from Rowan

Jameson's fingernails,
we might be onto something.

A hearing aid.

Yeah. I mean, we might find

it has nothing to do
with the crime at all.

Remind me what we know
of the McGowan Trust.

It's a charity
helping ex-servicemen

adjust to civilian life,
run by Simon Kendall.

That's where
he met Cole McIlroy.

Give me a minute.
I've just had a thought.

Wouldn't you think
Charlotte Kendall

would be happier
to see Rowan Jameson

win the Chaloner Award?

It doesn't exactly look
as if it's made her day.

Max, take a look at this.

I think you should call Martha.

On it.

Yeah, I can do that.

I'll, I'll call you back later.

Okay? Bye.

Interesting.

What?

No, nothing for you
to worry about, Cole.

So,

you use this window to get in
and out of the building, right?

-That's right.
-And what size are your feet?

Seven.

Yeah, yeah.

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought, dainty,
if you don't mind me saying so.

Because if you look
at this section here

there's a footprint of someone
with a much larger shoe size,

like maybe a 10 or an 11,
and the impression is made

mainly with the front of the
foot, which is what would happen

if you were, you know,
getting in through the window.

So,

my question to you, Cole, is,
why would somebody other

than yourself be getting into
your room from the outside and

who might they be?

How are you, India?

I'm made of tough stuff, Max.

What are you able to tell me?

Will the ghastly Petrov
end up in Belmarsh

stewing in his own sh*t?

We're reviewing the evidence.

We wanted to talk to you
about June Goldman.

Were you aware
that she was m*rder*d

two days after Rowan Jameson?

I read about it.

We understand that when you were

married to Mr Jameson,
Miss Goldman was your P.A.

Is that correct?

It was a long time ago, but yes.

And?

And what?

Rowan and I were happy at first,
until June Goldman came along,

she wanted what I had,
Rowan himself.

Look, I'm sorry she's dead,
but I'm not gonna

lose any sleep over it.

But you must be curious
about what happened.

No, no.

It's a chapter of my life
that is closed.

The last time we met,
you said you hadn't

spoken to Rowan for years.

I hadn't.

But you have been
in touch with Venetia.

We found correspondence
between the two of you

from less than a month ago.

Were you friends?

Not really.

She wanted to leave Rowan,
so she came to me for help.

Rowan weaponised Bogle and Brett

against anyone
who stood in his way.

The terms of my divorce
provided for me after his death,

but I had to fight for it.

And she was in a weaker position
because of the prenup.

Surely that was her business,
not yours?

Well, we were looking out
for each other.

So when Rowan's wife
approached you,

you conspired together to ensure
that in the event of his death,

you would both be
financially secure.

And then, would you believe it?

He died.

And days later,
a woman who broke up

your marriage died, too.

I always enjoy talking
to the students,

so full of hopes and dreams.

Yeah, it's lovely to see.

I was like that myself
once thinking

I was gonna change the world.

Turned out to be
a bit harder than I thought.

Do you mind
if we have a quick word?

Yes, of course.

-With Simon, too.
-Yeah, please.

So I wanted to tell you
that we are likely

to bring charges
against Cole McIlroy

for the m*rder of June Goldman.

It's a terrible shock.

No blame attached.

But with hindsight,
perhaps it wasn't a good idea

to ask June to employ

an ex-serviceman
with Cole's history.

Yes. Lesson learned there.

I mean, as you said yourself,
he never fully recovered

from what happened
to him in Afghanistan.

And he wouldn't have passed
basic employment checks.

Yes. I'm sorry.
What did you say?

Hi. How did that go?

And you're sure?

Well, do you think he suspected?

Of course.

Well, that's great.

I'll tell Max. Thanks.

Looks like we were right.

Good.

Let's go.

And tell Ashley
that we're on our way.

Much, slightly different
than I expected, but

the good news is the DNA
from the skin fragments match

with the DNA on the hearing aid.

So you gave me
a few names to compare,

and I've run them through
the available databases.

The first two are a negative.

Okay, so it's not
Petrov or his driver.

Well, I didn't
think it would be.

But one of them,

drum roll.

Ashley, it's not a game show.

It's a match.

We need to get to Cambridge.

Hi, I need access
to the Principal's house.

Do they know we're here?

I hope not.

Okay.

Hello!

-Hello?
-Police!

-Mr and Mrs Kendall.
-Police.

Hello? Police.

Hello?

Anyone here?

Hello?

Hello?

Airport.

Yeah, take this left.

No, I believe
it's a one way street.

I mean, we're the police, Max.

So, you know?

Are you away
on your holidays, Major?

I served my country
with distinction

and all I get
is an army pension.

When Petrov
approached Charlotte,

he said that the extension
was going to be

the most expensive building
Cambridge had ever seen.

When I retire
from Saint Cuthbert's

we won't even have
a house to live in.

Simon's always had
very expensive taste.

Flying planes. I mean, honestly,

And then Petrov contacted the
college with his grand vision.

But he knew it wouldn't
go through without my support.

It was all going fine.
Until that busybody June Goldman

stuck her nose into it.

We were on holiday and June
found a letter from Petrov

outlining the agreement
he was going to buy us a

retirement home in Portugal.

There was a lot
of cash thrown in.

I imagine she and Rowan
were spending one of their

afternoons, and she told him
all about it.

Pillow talk.

Well, he went
completely ballistic

and said it was bribery and
that he was going to go public.

We pleaded with June
to make him see sense,

but she was never able
to stand up to him.

Everything that we'd ever done,
everything we'd worked so hard

for, our reputations,
would all have been ruined.

The irony of Rowan
being on his moral high horse

when he won the Chaloner Prize
all those years ago.

That wasn't his design.

It was mine.

I never exposed him,

though it ate me up for years.

He said that he was intending
to use his acceptance speech

at the Royal Chelsea
to denounce us.

And you had to stop him?

Indeed.

You staged that argument
about Cole McIlroy

and the letters,
which he had nothing to do with.

You wrote them yourself,

and Simon had already
gotten Cole's DNA

on the scarf that he
used to strangle June with.

While they were in bed together.

You knew about that, right?

Simon and I are different
in many ways.

He's very military.

He likes the company of men.

You claimed you
weren't able to fly

because the weather
was bad in Scotland,

but that was a lie, wasn't it?

The weather was fine.
We checked.

And you said
you came back on the train.

But we checked that, too.

You had tickets,
but never used them.

You were already in Chelsea.

Did you always intend
to frame Victor Budimir?

No. No. I needed Venetia
out of the way.

There was a phone
in the corner of the foyer.

I disguised my voice.

I asked her
to come down to reception.

I did not know that Victor
was going to be there.

But lucky for you,
he would take the blame.

Well, in the Army, it's what
we call collateral damage.

And so Cole's reward
for having sex with Simon

was to be framed
for a m*rder he didn't commit.

It was Simon's idea.

It's always Simon's idea.

Do you know what a fall from
that height can do to a body?

Well, I have seen
far worse than that.

I was in Afghanistan.

You sustained injuries there
which left you deaf in one ear.

We found this
near the crime scene

bearing your DNA.

I've had friends blown
to pieces by IDEs.

Each one of them was worth
a dozen Rowan Jamesons.

And, and you where, where
were you in all of this?

Were you the victim?

No.

No, I'm not saying that.

I just wanted

a comfortable retirement

and it all got out of hand.

Simon Kendall,

I'm arresting you for the
murders of Rowan James Kendall.

I am arresting you
for conspiracy

to m*rder June Goldman
and Rowan Jameson.

You do not have to say anything,

say anything,
but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention
when questioned

something which you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Connor, Jess, this is
my cousin Martha McGuire.

Nice to meet you.

DI McGuire.

Met you on Zoom. How you doing?

So what's the plan?

Well, I'm heading
back to Cambridge

to break the news
to Venetia Jameson.

And also, have you seen
the weather forecast?

Yeah, Storm Kevin.

Yeah, and of course, I have

a bolshy teenage daughter
I need to keep an eye on.

Listen to this.

An investigation
is being launched

into controversial businessman

Francis Petrov,
following allegations

of bribery and corruption.

That's the end
of the extension, then.

Well, you know, who cares?

You know, these fancy
new buildings,

it's all just one-upmanship
between the colleges.

It's like football stadiums.

You know, Arsenal
built Emirates,

and then Tottenham Hotspur

feel they've got to go
one better,

but doesn't mean
they're a better team.

Spurs are a better team.

They're just going through
a difficult time.

Me and Layla,
we are Arsenal fans.

Supported Chelsea.

Max, I'm an Arsenal women's fan.

They're brilliant.

I didn't mean to start
a family argument.

So I wanted to tell you
that Charlotte and Simon Kendall

are being charged
with the murders

of Rowan Jameson
and June Goldman.

They planned the whole thing.

Yep. That's how it looks.

It's unbelievable.

I could never have imagined.

They were our friends.

Or or at least
I thought they were.

I suppose the one good thing

that's come out
of all this is that

we've got to know each other.

And you're both beneficiaries
of Rowan's will,

you know, that'll help a bit.

Mm.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Come in.

The weather is wild.

Mmm, I know.

Roz

is still camping in Snowdonia.

Well, I hope they pegged
their tent down properly.

Mmm. Glass of wine?

Well, I just popped in to say
goodbye before I hit it off.

Do you think they'll
let you fly in this?

Well, I hope so.
I'm looking forward to it.

You know,

I was thinking.

Very good coffee in Peru.

Mmm. Misha,
one of the best in the world.

That's the only reason
I'm going, obviously.

Anything else you know about it?

Peru here, Machu Picchu,
Lake Titicaca.

Paddington Bear.

They're not genuinely
trying to evict you

and redevelop
the site, are they?

Over my dead body.
I'm not gonna let

some money-grabbing scheme
turn my corner of Chelsea

into a five star hotel.

What are you gonna do about it?

Anchor yourself to the pier?

Well, I'll write strongly-worded
letters to the council.

Yeah, well, that'll work.

Maybe they could build
the hotel around you.

You could be a nice little
centrepiece in the reception.

Good idea.

No. Flight postponed.

Stay at home
and await further instructions.

Well, now you could have
that glass of wine.

I suppose I could.

Whoa!

Thank you.

It was good to meet Martha.

Well, she's great, isn't she?

Cambridge is nice, too.

A lovely place.

Maybe a bit more
relaxing than London.

And I don't think
she gets on that well

with her current DS,
so, you know,

change is good.

Don't even think about it.

Think about what?

You know what.

You're so easy to wind up.

Cheers.

Now about that coffee.

What's your baggage allowance?

I'm backpacking, Max.

I suppose I could bring you
back some marmalade.
