The Chelsea Detective

[muffled electronic music, traffic rumbling]

[light buzzes and clacks, music ends]

[apron rustles, suspenseful music]

- Evening, Astrid. - How are you?

- Yeah, I'm--well, actually, I've got

a bit of a funny tooth.

- Why don't you go and see the dentist?

Well, I'm too busy.

Right now--

I'm busy decorating the boat for Christmas.

Oh, that's pathetic.

It's made from recycled cans.

One less fir tree unnecessarily cut down.

- Well, it looks like, um, a toilet brush.

Hmph.

Sorry.

Max.

Don't forget we're meeting on Wednesday morning, yes?

Max.

Yeah, it's in the diary.

- Will you please look into the camera?

When you're wandering around like this,

it makes me feel like I don't exist.

Sorry.

- Hello. Thank you.

That's better.

Um...

Shall we--shall we meet there?

Mm.

- This could be the beginning of a new chapter for us.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, I-I'm really excited about it.

I'll see you there. - Okay.

Ow.

Oh.

Chloe?

Chloe, are you in there?

[menacing music, liquid rippling]

[footsteps splashing, water rushing]

[camera shutter clicks, bristles rustling]

[muted chatter, wheels rattling]

Quick picture, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Sir.

Ma'am.

Max.

Evening.

Have you seen what's going on out there?

Well, It didn't take long.

There's a second bedroom.

Looks like there's a flatmate.

Mm.

Someone's been partying hard.

What do we got, Ashley?

A woman, 40-ish.

Cause of death appears to be drowning.

We'll get a toxicology report from the lab,

but looks like drugs were involved.

And two of her fingernails are broken.

These could be signs of a struggle.

Hmm.

[siren warbles, gurney rattles, people chattering]

Oh, God. - Hmm.

- That's a lot more people than there were half an hour ago.

- Yes, this is just the beginning.

[door clacks, people chattering]

- Excuse me, please. Excuse me, please.

Thank you.

[phones ringing, indistinct chatter]]

Can't believe this.

Was a big fan, you know.

Had a poster of her on my bedroom wall.

- Didn't she have that hit single?

Yeah, those were the words.

How did the tune go?

- Morning. - Morning.

- Late night? - That was a long one.

Oh, God.

- Here's what we know at this stage.

Chloe Carmichael, age 41, her body was found in her bath.

Signs of a struggle and evidence of drug

use in the flat.

Provisional assumption is that this was murder,

but we're waiting on Ashley's report.

Jess.

Okay.

So Chloe was huge in the 2000s, had lots of hit records.

She was more than your average pop star, though.

That Christmas song that we all know?

She gave the royalties to charity.

Amazing.

And then at the height of her fame,

she just walked away from it all.

Because?

- She had addiction issues and she struggled

with the pressures of fame.

She was talking about mental health

long before most celebrities.

What else?

- Uh, early days, but this could be a promising lead.

Luke Beckett, her former manager.

Earlier in the year, Chloe posted

this on her social media-- message to at Luke Beckett.

Let me live my life and I'll let you live yours.

- Max, there's a DS I know who works in the cybercrime unit

here in Chelsea--

Shawn Kildare.

I know Shawn.

- He told me he'd been advising Chloe on internet threats

a few months ago.

Yeah.

Let's talk to him.

- We're also keen to talk to this woman--

Zadie Evans.

She's a fashion model.

There's been press speculation that she was

in a relationship with Chloe.

She's got a string of drug-related convictions.

Appears to have been staying in Chloe's flat.

- Where is she now? - We don't know.

Phone disconnected.

No recent posts on socials.

That's odd.

Connor, find out where she is.

Sure.
