The Stevie that I knew, the Stevie I trusted,

that Stevie was clocking up overtime,

she was using police vehicles after hours,

withdrawing substantial amounts of cash.

What was she up to?

She gave me? 10,000 that night...

to look after her younger brother.

She was investigating something.

I don't care you're looking at me.

I care that, while you are, you're missing someone else.

- Do you see ghosts? - Not ghosts.

I don't believe in ghosts.

Then what do you see?

Manifests.

The person that I thought told me everything,

I can't trust her any more, so why should I trust you?

Because I'm alive and she's dead.

So?

I had a second phone.

Four numbers.

A takeaway, Cristal Kebabs,

called 19 times in seven weeks.

This woman, she used to come in here.

She used to always order...

22, 48.

Hi, this is Haider at Cristal Kebabs...

I pulled up some more footage,

anything that was near Cristal Kebabs, over a nine-week period.

It's the same car.

She never told you? She never said?

I missed it.

I found them at her flat.

I'm wondering, maybe they belong to who did this.

You didn't think you were the only one, did you?

'Hi, this is Haider at Cristal Kebabs.'

Is everything in a pound shop a pound?

You can get a bucket for a pound.

What kind of bucket can you get for a pound?

Is that him?

No, I don't think so.

Let's go in.

Now.

Are you talking to yourself, General?

Police. Stay calm. Nobody's being arrested.

We just want to ask a few questions about a possible employee -- Haider?

There's no Haider here.

Would you mind putting that down please, sir?

Finish up here and let's question them further at the station.

Name?

Khaalid Mahmoud.

These your kids?

Ten, eight,

seven, five, two.

Respect.

OK, Khaalid, we'll do the rest down at the station,

check your paperwork.

Haider.

What did you expect?

You thought she'd wait around for you?

She got lonely.

Love finds where it falls.

I would have known.

Huh? I would have known if Stevie was...

Stevie? Very nice.

Very pleasant lady.

22, 48 --

extra chilli.

River?

We talk, she laughs,

we talk some more.

Easy.

You know the difference between me and you, River?

When she was lonely,

I didn't turn away.

Whoa, shit!

What are you doing?!

Very kind lady.

I touched her in places you've never had the courage to go before.

The Pinot comes out,

the tongue gets loose.

But what did she do so bad it made me shoot her?

River!

Come on.

We need to get back.

Haider?

He worked for you.

Haider?

No. No Haider.

'Hi, this is Haider at Cristal Kebabs.

'Your order's ready if you'd like to pick it up. 22, 48.'

So, who is this Haider?

No idea.

How many did you bring in?

Three.

We're talking to them now,

but he's not there.

Only one of them is black, but he's lighter skinned.

And he has shorter hair, and his hairline is higher.

We haven't got him.

Two of them have full paperwork.

We're checking it now.

The third one, immigration status is pending.

He's clearly anxious.

We haven't got him.

Ira's questioning them further now, taking swabs.

Well, working on the assumption

that she was having a relationship with this man,

there's a high probability...

Yes, that we'll get a match from DNA on that toothbrush and razor

with DNA from the blue Mondeo.

We can cross check that with their swabs.

We have four, maybe five images.

There must be more.

Other cameras, a wider radius.

Well, we can try but...

'Hi, this is Haider at Cristal Kebabs.

'Your order's ready if you'd like to pick it up. 22, 48.'

So, Khaalid, there were two messages from Cristal's,

both of them from Haider, yet nobody seems to recall him.

You're from...?

Somalia, originally.

You've been here...?

Four years.

People come and go where you work?

Take a good look at the photo.

Is this Haider?

I don't know this man.

You may have forgotten him.

Not seen him for a few weeks.

No.

No. Haider? No.

Sorry, man. Sorry.

Any headway on the other number found on Stevie's second phone?

The pay as you go number?

We've located where it was bought --

a phone shop near Lincoln's Inn.

Paid for in cash.

I'm getting nothing.

See nothing, hear nothing, say nothing.

Forensics are ready downstairs.

I'll get them.

We make an appeal -- it makes sense.

Release the pictures.

I'll talk to press and PR.

This is crazy.

That raid will already have alerted him.

This will make him run faster.

Slug this out somewhere else.

You all right?

Why?

Did I see you at the theatre yesterday?

No.

- You got home then? - Yeah.

- You didn't stay for the second half. - No, I...

No.

You seem...

New lead.

We've got a good new lead on Stevie.

Right.

A possible relationship...

.. so we're about to put out an appeal.

Well, if it helps...

No, it won't help.

What will happen is that people will look at it

and they'll wonder "Is that...?"

"Could that be...?"

or, "Where was he at...?"

And nine times out of ten,

when they finally make that call

and admit their fear that their husband, or son,

or lover is capable of murder...

Nine times out of ten, they're wrong.

They're wrong and they will put down that phone,

and smile at the one they love, and...

no-one will be the wiser...

.. because the person to fear the most

is the one to whom you gave all your trust.

I'm losing her.

She's changing.

You need to see me, today.

It's not that you're losing me.

I haven't gone anywhere.

Razor and toothbrush...

are a match to DNA found in the car.

It's him.

He over brushes his teeth.

Triple blade.

Gillette. Not cheap. Perhaps she bought it for him.

He doesn't rinse properly.

Huh?

It blunts quicker.

They denied all knowledge of him?

There's no formal employment records at Cristal Kebabs.

Most of it's cash in hand work.

In fact, we're making assumptions he even worked there.

- He did. - You don't know that. Haider on the message

could be a completely different person

from the man embracing Stevie on the CCTV.

Why would she give the number of her second phone

to just anyone at a Kebab shop?
