Are you ready?
Just a second.
Forever be The Shining Truth.
I'm ready now.
This is a test, you know.
You're being trusted with the weight of the Truth.
It's the honor of my life.
-And my friend, he'll get paid? -Hmm.
Sorry. I told him I'd ask.
First installment when the first name's crossed off.
Holly.
Go and spread The Shining Truth.
Forever be The Shining Truth.
I really like this jumper. Where's it from?
I don't know. Primark.
You're lying.
-It feels so luxe. -
And it smells like you.
Don't worry. You smell really good.
-Can you stop being mad at me now, please? -I don't like it at all, Dee.
They just wanna say thank you.
So send me a text.
I don't trust these people.
They've been really good to you, Ash.
What, the cult that hired me as a hitman for some inexplicable list?
Yeah, excellent guys. What do you see in all this crap?
What actually is your problem with my religion, Ash?
You don't have to like it, but you're quite mean about it.
-I'm not trying to be mean. -Well, you kind of are.
Don't take this the wrong way, Dee. I like you all the same.
But you're different from when you started going there.
- -What am I supposed to do with that?
Sorry. All right? You're always you, and you're great. But…
You know, we had the same childhood. I know how it feels.
It's not just something that you pray to God about, and everything's okay.
I think I'm just happier now.
Okay.
And it's not God, Ash.
Yeah, same shit, Dee.
It's The Shining Truth.
- -Wait, what?
There's blood here. Look.
She was with Dr. Stanfield at his apartment.
Ingrid and Jay?
Yeah?
-Is she out? -I told you I'd let you know.
Look, you need to tell the kids what's going on.
-Are they okay? -They're fine.
I just dropped them off in town.
But I did not like pretending that nothing was going on last night.
We've talked about this. You promised to keep them in the loop.
They're barely sleeping as it is. I want to wait until she's out of surgery.
They're gonna be pissed off at you when they find out.
Can I just process all of this, please?
Right, well… I'll let you get back to processing.
Oh, Yvonne.
And having broken in, here you are in her kitchen.
Didn't even pour it into a cup first.
-How do you know Maria Finchley? -I don't.
You showed up to her restaurant four times last week,
and you broke into her house.
Look, officer, I know how this works, okay?
Yes, I'm guilty. So just charge me.
Hi, Alex.
I need you to take a look at Kevin Gano.
I found his obituary.
He died last week under suspicious circumstances,
and he was adopted.
Well…
What the bloody hell happened?
Uh, yeah, right, bye.
Are you still tracking me?
I'm not apologizing for that right now.
Why were you here all night?
-I was arrested. -
-What's gotten into you? -I broke into Maria's house.
-Who's-- -Lou.
It's over. I know.
-I know that Joel had a daughter. -How did you--
I found a photo of her
when I was clearing out Joel's bedside cabinet.
Elena. Why didn't you tell me?
I'm sorry. Uh…
My husband, your son, had a secret daughter with another woman.
You should have told me.
Instead, you let me stay with him and love him like an idiot.
I didn't know about it until after Joel died.
Oh, don't lie to me, not anymore.
You think I would have kept that? I would never have kept that from you.
He may have been my son, but you're my family too.
Stop it. I found a photo of you as well, okay? At Maria's house.
-Maria had photos of me? -Why don't you just admit it?
I know that you knew!
I didn't know anything. I only just found out Maria exists at all.
When you couldn't face sorting Joel's affairs and I took over,
I found a document
about how he didn't want to be on the girl's birth certificate.
That's how I found out.
It has been hell for me too.
My son betrayed the other most important person to me,
and kept a grandchild and a great-grandchild from me.
I'm grieving four things right now.
I need some space.
Don't contact me again unless it's about work.
Oh, and I'm deleting that stupid tracking app.
Sebastian, hi.
Simon…
Before you ask, yes, this is the same thing I was wearing yesterday.
I was wondering.
Sorry.
-Any news? -
She's still in theatre.
That bloody app.
I remember when Joel was getting treatment.
He had this surgery,
and I was waiting around for hours to find out when he was done.
In the end, I went up to them, and I said, "Where is he?"
They looked at me, like, confused.
"He's been ready for ages. Didn't you check the app?"
It's quite new, this app, though.
Yeah, he only died a few months ago.
-Oh, Jesus, I'm sorry. -
Oh! Sebastian Thorpe got back to me.
There's a charge on Henry's bank account for the same DNA site
that Damien Gorsch was on, called "Discovered Ancestry."
Henry's the missing one who was in touch with Paige?
And Damien is the murdered one who was in touch with Henry.
I think Damien and Henry may have been adopted from the same agency.
-Right. -And they might have met on this DNA site.
They're related?
Can't assume that, but it's a good theory, isn't it?
Could they be related to Paige?
Simon, is there a reason that they could have been related to her?
Ingrid may have been cheating on me.
Oh, mate, I'm sorry.
She lied to the police about an alibi.
She was actually with a work colleague of hers
at his flat, alone.
Now, this professor that Paige may have…
Yeah, I know.
Well, he ran the Family Tree Club that Paige was involved in.
So if Ingrid is cheating,
and Paige found something odd in her own family tree,
I'm sure that he would know.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
It could be that Aaron is the connection to the family tree site instead.
Yeah, you may be onto something with Aaron being the link.
I spoke to his stepmom,
and she says that Wiley's story about how he met Aaron's mum is bollocks.
He lied about Aaron's mum. He's never been to Italy.
He said that he met her in Italy. He's never been there.
So Enid has no idea where Aaron's come from.
Well, these husbands just love to lie, don't they?
Not just husbands.
-Yeah, well, you know what I mean. -Yeah.
I'll start with the adoption agency.
Ooh! And check on Paige's bank statements.
See if there's a charge to that website, Discovered Ancestry.
Yeah, okay. I'll let you know.
That's great. Thank you.
It's not looking good for old Cornelius.
No, it's not.
I just got off the phone with his neighbor, Elizabeth Sobek.
She said Cornelius was very protective of Paige Greene.
Shit.
-Remember, we want to solve this case. -Yeah, of course. I'm just…
having a hard time reconciling.
Cornelius,
he was my neighbor growing up.
Sorry, are you just telling me this now?
I don't know. I…
I didn't want you to think I was… biased.
But he was always the nicest guy.
It's hard to believe that the man I knew could mutilate and murder someone.
That's exactly what being biased means.
He has a previous arrest for grievous bodily harm.
How'd he end up on the housing estate if he lived where you grew up?
He and his family lived next door,
him, his wife, their two sons. The nicest people in the world.
Grayson, the youngest, was like my best friend.
But then the wife, Tara was her name, she died of a brain aneurysm.
Horrible.
