Marcella

A colleague of mine has gone missing.

Why are they talking to you about it? - They're questioning everyone.

I want you to start looking into this immediately!

Peter. - You don't give up. - Why would I? - Because you're wrong.

What's the boyfriend gonna say about you? - I haven't got one.

Serial killers don't take trophies to sell them.

My guess is she stole them from him.

Who sold you this? - A girl.

My name's Marcella Backland. You know my husband

Headmistress called me.

Did she tell you what it was about?

Just said it was important.

You seem stressed. - Well, I am stressed!

We will be curtailing Emma's privileges for the next few weeks.

And we'd like the two of you to talk with her so she understands the gravity of the situation.

We will.

Right?

Yeah. Absolutely. - Good.

You can wait for her in the library. I'll go and get her.

And, yes...

We want this off school property.

You coming? - Hm? You do it.

No, we should do it together. Our daughter's taking drugs.

She's reacting to our breakup.

You told them? - Well, someone had to.

She's 13, Marcella. - She blames me, she listens to you.

And it is your fault. - If that makes you feel better then...

No, it doesn't.

We have to do this together.

And we should've told them about us together, too.

It's OK.

It's OK.

You all right?

Dad's gonna stay. And I'll see you soon.

Sorry, guv. He said it was important.

Fine. Thank you.

Hi.

I've been thinking it over, you see. - Oh, yeah!

That girl, the one I bought stuff off...

The one you bought stolen goods from. Yeah. - Yeah, all right. Yeah. Anyway.

Couple of days ago, this bloke got beaten up behind the shop.

Think she might've been involved.

Why?

Because someone saw her come out of the shop.

And this kid started talking to her. - Right.

So the officers investigating that assault have spoken to you.

Yeah. - And what did you tell 'em?

That I'd never seen her. Look. I didn't wanna get involved.

But I'm telling you now. - OK.

I'll look into it. Thanks for coming in.

You know, if this leads anywhere, if this helps you find her...

Yeah?

Do you think you could drop the charge? The receiving thing?

What do you think?

Probably not. - Probably not.

Happy birthday, bestie.

Thank you. Aren't you supposed to get breakfast in bed on your birthday?

You would've done if you hadn't woken up so early.

It's gone eleven.

Did you steal it? - No! - Honestly? - Cross my heart.

I... I bought it with the money that I got from the stuff.

You're cool with that, right?

Yeah, I'm cool.

Thank you.

I thought you were gonna wait at the school. - Why would I do that?

To find out what Emma said. - It was her first time, she wanted to try it.

She feels stupid and she'll never do it again. Am I getting warm?

You don't believe her?

What difference will it make?

You talked to her, we'll talk again when she comes home and the school's on it.

One more thing. Erm...

You're gonna find out sooner or later. - Mm.

Grace and I are in a relationship.

Grace?

Gibson. At work.

No-one knows about us, so I can't...

I walk around...

.. being politely concerned when really what I want...

I'm sorry. I shouldn't. - It's all right. - Not with you.

It's OK.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you soon.

Sure.

You're late. Where have you been? - Erm... I had to go to my daughter's school.

Emma's been smoking weed.

What, you want me to lie about it? - Well, keep your jacket on.

You and Alex are gonna go and see Evan Jones. - Who's he?

He was robbed and assaulted behind the pawn shop where we found those trophies.

By her. - Uh-huh.

Yeah, that's her. - Certain? - Yeah.

Do you know who she is?

Never seen her before. - Never. No.

But it says here that she followed you into the backyard.

Yeah. And then she yelled at me to stop.

And when I turned around, she knocked me down. Then she stole my phone and wallet.

Right. How far away was she when she... when she yelled?

Right behind me. A yard or two, maybe.

So it happened quickly. - Yeah. I didn't have time to react.

Well, you did have enough time to make an absolutely positive identification of that drawing.

Evan? - Oh, erm...

I'd... I'd seen her before. But... I don't know her name.

And I don't know who she is. - Where?

The net.

Come on.

So... that's her. But she's not online now because she's got a red marker by her name.

How does it work?

You log in... you click on someone online

and you... you ask them... to do things.

Sexual things. - Erm...

Mm. Yeah.

Thanks for your help.

Hi.

Hi.

Grace Gibson has been found dead.

There's evidence to indicate it's our murderer. Rav, get someone out to the scene.

Steve, John, get on it straight away.

Make sure they send out everything they've got on her disappearance.

We're treating her as our 4th victim.

Marcella?

What?

Tim said the victim was having an affair with your husband.

Yeah.

How long have you known?

I found out the day before yesterday.

How? - Tim.

He had a talk with Jason and...

Look, I didn't know anything about it until then.

Are you going to take me off it? - I should.

You are not allowed near the victim's home or place of work.

And you are not to question Jason.

All right?

OK.

Are you erm... Are you gonna get in shit for this?

Maybe. So make it worth taking some shit for.

Our planning chief Andrew Barnes has been in touch.

He wants to see detailed plans for Lambeth and visit the construction site.

I'm stalling, but we ought to have a strategy in place.

All right.

They've found a body on Hampstead Heath.

Grace? - They haven't said. A woman... that's all.

It's not Grace. - I'm just saying. - It's not Grace!

If you don't actually know, why bother saying anything?

Sylvie? - What?

I'm very sorry.

Congratulations. You're a free man. Here's your paperwork.

And a letter of recommendation. - Thank you.

So, what are you gonna do now? - I'm not really sure.

I think I might see a bit more of Maddy.

Yeah, she seems nice. - Oh, she is.

She's fantastic. All right.

Thanks.

For everything, yeah? - Good luck.

Yeah. - Pop by sometime. - I will.

Maddy! - Peter.

Where's Guy? - He's gone.

I'm free. Released this morning.

That's fantastic. - Come on. Let's go and grab a coffee.

Er, yeah. Only... I can't.

I've only got 10 minutes 'till my next lecture.

Another time, though.

We ought to decide... when a bit beforehand, just to make sure I can.

Yeah. No, of course. Of course.

Let's make it soon, yeah?

Yeah. - I'm really looking forward to it.

Me, too. All right. I'll see you soon.

Yeah. Yeah. - OK.

Tape, bag, cable ties.

Everything is identical to the other victims.

Only, he moves this one. Why?

He didn't want her found straight away. - No.

He wasn't bothered about that before. Fincher lay there for weeks.

Could've been disturbed by something. - Could be. How are we doing on CCTV?

There's nothing by her house, according to the DI. The next closest is a side street.

Well, check it out. Cos I'm sure he had a car. - I can do that.

It's usually DCs doing that. - Yeah, but I don't mind. I've gotta learn.

Did erm... they find any kind of trophy? - We don't know yet.

The family are looking into it.

But there was something else. Alex.

Yeah. We found blood on the kitchen table.

So if we're lucky Grace put up a fight and it's his.

We need samples from the family and we need to find a boyfriend.

Because there are traces of a man in the bedroom and

bathroom, although she's listed as the sole occupant.

She was having a...

.. a relationship with my husband.

Are you serious?

I didn't know until... after Grace went missing.

Laura's been informed and she's OK with me continuing work on the investigation.

Did you know about this? - Mm-hm.

This is completely crazy. - I know, Alex. It's not up to me.

You got a problem with it, go talk to Laura.

You know she's DCI Porter to the rest of us?

The webcam girl from the pawn shop.

Anyway, I contacted admin at the sex site. A lot of umming and ahing, toing and froing.

But they give me an account number.

Just got off the phone with the bank... - Short version, Mark. - I found her.

What?

Great. Marcella. Get Alex and get on it straight away. If we're right, she's seen the killer.

OK.

I dunno where she is. Why are you looking for her?
