04x02 - Lethal White: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

- I'm Jasper Chiswell.

- The minister?

I am being blackmailed by two men,

Geraint Winn and Jimmy Knight.

I need something I can use against them,

so that everybody has something to lose.

You'd be posing as the minister's

goddaughter, doing an internship.

Under that cover, you'd bug the

office of one of the blackmailers.

Community Organised Resistance.

It means taking back what is ours!

Are they going to find me?

Just do what I tell you,

and then I'll look after you.

- I was going to offer you a job.

- Doing detective stuff?

When Billy says, "helped them"

could he mean the Chiswell family?

Do we know who we are working for?

The girl I saw k*lled, she's in

the dell behind my dad's cottage.

I can see bones.

We need to go, leave it.

Hurry up, come on.

- Oh!

- Come on.

Thanks.

We won't make it to the car!

The barn! Head for the barn!

How's your hand?

It's fine. How many are there?

I don't know. I think there's two.

- Can you hold this?

- Yeah.

I'm going to make a run for it, get

the car right up at the door.

- You can't run.

- It doesn't matter.

You're limping. Let's just be practical.

This is what we're doing! You need

to keep them focused here.

Make a racket. Bad dogs!!

No biscuit. Rarr. Rarr. Like that.

And whatever happens Robin!

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Robin, run!

I think I've found human remains.

I'm not giving you my name.

I'll give you the location.

Company'll pay for the damage.

No need. There's nothing to fix.

Built like a t*nk!

You shouldn't have done that.

You shouldn't have told me not to.

You know I'm faster than you.

You're not going to fire

me again, are you?

Learned my lesson there.

So, what now?

In an hour, the police will have a body,

and if they talk to Billy,

they'll have a witness as well.

And so Billy?

We do need to find him.

- Hello?

- Hi, Robin. It's Izzy.

Erm, best not come in to the

office today.

- The police are here.

- Why, wh-what's happened?

I can't discuss it. See you tomorrow

- unless I call.

- Is there anything I can help with?

- Was that the politician?

- Yeah.

Well, erm, his office.

What happens if you get caught

messing about there?

Like, if the

Security Services found you out?

Have you even thought about that?

- I've spoken to DI Wardle.

- Hmm?

He can't find out anything about

what's happening with the bones.

It's a government minister's estate,

so they're all treading on eggshells.

He did give me this.

Billy was six when he

saw the girl strangled,

he looks in his mid-20s now.

So, it's roughly 20 years ago.

Wardle did a check on all

the missing girls around then.

Suki Lane fits.

She went missing from care,

living less than ten miles

from the Chiswell estate.

She was 12, but built small,

long dark hair.

If Billy can ID her,

we've really got something.

- Tea?

- Yes, please.

Sam Barclay called as well.

Jimmy drove to South London this

morning to a house on Alma Grove.

He was dropping off food.

Made Barclay sit in the car,

so Billy could be inside.

I'm going to take a look.

You all right?

Yeah, I just erm

If Chiswell is arrested for m*rder,

then they'll search his houses in

London and Oxfordshire, won't they?

And they'll search his offices.

I hid the spare bugs inside a box,

but they'll find them pretty quickly.

- And if they do a sweep of

- Of the Winns' office.

- Yeah, I see what you're thinking.

- My fingerprints are all over it.

I'll have to try and get them out.

- Sorry, I know that was my

- No, I asked you to

No, it's fine.

No, I'll take care of it. Honestly.

Fine. Do it this morning.

- They asked me not to come in today.

- Ignore 'em.

Say you've got to do

something time-sensitive.

Hmm, they're not the type of people

that are used to being ignored.

It'll be good for 'em, then.

Oh, come on!

What are you doing in here?

I was borrowing a stapler.

Show me.

What?

I don't believe you.

Show me it.

Well, I couldn't find one.

Oh, huh

You were looking at my phone.

- No, I wasn't.

- Don't lie.

You were looking at it.

Now, what are you doing

going through my pho?

Look, I'm already late, I

- Excuse me?

- Not till you answer my question.

How many people do you know here?

Because I know six people

who could have you

fired by the end of the day.

So don't even flirt with

pulling this crap on me.

What, so you can just come in

Can I borrow your stapler or not?

Because if not, get out of my way

before I have you thrown out?

- People like you

- Yes.

We run things, I know.

How could it be so

bloody complicated? You are a hotel.

Of course you have my bill on file

So is this laziness or are

you incompetent?

Come on, which is it?

Get the manager to call me, urgently!

Morning, Minister. Hi, Izzy.

- Did you not?

- Oh, I won't be long.

Essential maintenance

on the you-know-what.

Let's just get on with it.

OK.

Erm, constituent wants to

discuss his idea for a new tax on

No.

Leave it. Next.

- No!

- Margaret Connaught asked if she

- Absolutely not.

Kind decline with best wishes, then.

They say they piss

themselves when they die.

Is that true, Chiswell?

Delete that.

Minister, is this something

we could help with?

What was that about?

It's just miserable for him.

I honestly think he's done nothing wrong.

I think I over-ordered, again.

No such thing.

Have you got more than two forks?

Spoon for me. Beer?

Hm, yes, please.

You know we had over 50

answerphone messages.

Yeah, I know we need someone.

Thanks.

How'd you get on with the bugs?

I got them.

So, are we carrying on with

Chiswell as a client?

I'd like to keep him close,

until we know that Billy's safe.

What, no luck at Alma Grove, then?

He'd been there.

He's not there any more.

And there's traces of blood

all through the house.

There's blood on the banister too.

He maybe tried to hold on

while he was being dragged off.

Or, er, he might've cut himself.

He'd carved one of those horses as well.

I did a check with the, er,

Land Registry.

It's owned by a Mrs Collier.

Does that ring any bells?

No.

We haven't got the money to keep

it under surveillance.

You know, you're right about

trying to stick with Chiswell.

Someone left him a message today.

I think it was about the

girl that Billy saw.

What kind of message?

It went straight to answerphone,

it was a man and he said,

"They piss themselves when they die."

"THEY piss THEMSELVES when they

die"? Not, "SHE pissed HERSELF"?

No. No. I'm sure.

And you watched him listen to this?

Well, he just,

he just left straight away.

I got the impression that

Izzy knows something.

But she's loyal to her family.

She won't talk.

Maybe someone's knows

about the police digging?

He's done well to keep it

out of the papers.

You'd hope it's still news

when a dead girl's found

buried on a minister's estate.

He rang me.

He wants a report in person.

We're going to have to drive up

to his place in Oxfordshire.

Is there anything we can give him?

I reckon Jimmy deals a bit of weed.

Well, unless it's a kilo,

that's not going to be enough.

I found Jimmy's ex-wife.

We can drop in on her on the

way to Chiswell.

- Hi. Erm

- I've got an appointment with Dawn.

What do you want doing to him, pet?

Do you just want me

to neaten him up all over?

I'm not here for a haircut.

But I'm happy to pay for one.

My name's Cormoran Strike.

I'm a private detective.

- This is my partner, Robin.

- Oh, yeah.

I read about you! You caught that

man who did those things.

That's right.

We were hoping to talk to

you about Jimmy Knight.

sh*t. What's he done now?

We're just after some background.

Right.

Er, Sian, can you, er, take her

foils out at ten past, please?

We can talk out back.

There you go, cock.

Thanks. Very kind.

I've not seen Jimmy in years.

Well, we're interested in his family

as much as anything else.

When was the last time you saw Billy?

Oh, not since Jimmy and I split.

He used to come and stay sometimes,

but he'd scream the place down.

I'm talking four or five in the morning.

He pissed the bed more than once.

Did he ever say why?

What, why he pissed the bed?!

Well, what he was frightened of?

He said he woke up and he couldn't

breathe because of what he'd done.

What had he done?

It were ridiculous!

I mean, it was all

Where they grew up, the local kids,

they used to go up to this old chalk

horse and make a wish on it.

And Billy said he

wished that he were dead,

so that he could be with his mum again,

only the horse took

some other kid instead.

I mean, how cracked is that?

I were giving him a cuddle

and, like, trying to tell him,

and then Jimmy came in and,

and he started shouting at him,

he was like, "Shut your f*cking

mouth about that horse."

Did you ever meet his dad?

Jack Knight were horrible.

Drunk, got barred from everywhere.

Used his fists on his kids more

than once, I know that much.

One time, Jimmy said

his old man were going to

hell for what he'd done.

I mean, the big joke of it were

that his dad worked for a Tory.

You've heard of Jasper Chiswell?

I have, actually.

Did Jimmy talk about the Chiswell family?

Oh, that's the hypocrisy of him!

I mean, he used to go to

all their parties, didn't he?

Freddie Chiswell's 18th,

big marquee, and all that.

I mean, he even hired a tuxedo.

I've seen the pictures!

I wish I had them now.

I'd stick 'em on the internet and

show all his mates what

a lick-arse he was around posh kids.

They'd have only had him around because,

well, he could always get dr*gs.

They needed a dealer.

That's all he was.

You know how Billy said his dad

"Helped THEM bury her"?

Mmm.

Well, if Jimmy really was that

desperate to fit in with

Freddie and his crowd?

He helped him cover up a m*rder?

Well, if he was involved in

it, he might've?

I mean, he's obviously desperate

to stop Billy talking.

And it'd explain why Jack Knight

helped to bury the girl,

if Jimmy was mixed up in it,

and why Billy took so

long to tell anyone what he saw.

- Hmm.

- You're not convinced.

No, I see what you're saying.

I just don't see how Geraint Winn

fits in to that picture.

And I'm hungry.

I've got some biscuits here.

What?

You're like one of those

old-fashioned pay-phones,

except you take biscuits

instead of coins.

I like your idea.

But Chiswell told me Geraint

wants to destroy him.

And if Geraint has something

linking Chiswell to the m*rder,

why wouldn't he go to the police,

let them do the work?

Is there only so much they can do

once the bones are removed?

Do they not tape off the scene

if it's on private land?

There should still be people here.

For a buried child,

you'd dig up half the wood.

Chiswell couldn't have just

send them away, though.

Could he?

"Mare Mourning".

The foal's got lethal white syndrome.

Looks healthy, but the bowels don't work.

Kinvara likes it.

- Reminds her of Lady.

- Who's that?

A mare she had. Had it put down.

Happens with animals.

Now, look here

Events are accelerating.

I gather the police have been here.

Who told you that?

- Do you know what they were looking for?

- That's irrelevant.

Jimmy Knight was brought

up in Steda Cottage, wasn't he,

where the police have been digging?

Knight's past is irrelevant.

I know all about his childhood.

I'm paying you to find out

what he's up to now.

So where are we?

What exactly have you got for me?

We've got some promising

leads on Geraint.

Looks like he's hiding some

damaging stuff.

And the Jimmy Knight deep-cover

work has revealed drug dealing.

We think there's more to come.

We just need a little more time.

Time?

That's what we lack!

I can't give you more time.

We just need a few more days.

Freddie was awarded the

CGC posthumously, wasn't he?

Yes. What of it?

I'd love to see it. For personal reasons.

Do you happen to have it here?

Only 60 of these awarded

since it was created.

- Did Freddie always want to join up?

- Family tradition.

And that goes a long way with

us Chiswells.

The country's been good to us,

so we have to do our bit in return.

He did more than his bit.

Well, you've seen it now.

Thank you.

I do appreciate that.

I'll see you out.

Could I just use the loo?

Where's the nearest?

Down the corridor, on the right.

Next time I have you report back,

have something to tell me.

I'll give you till the end of the week.

Then I'll cut my losses.

I wonder who she was.

He kept these photos like a trophy.

Freddie liked humiliating people.

Especially women.

His medal was bollocks, by the way.

Purely political.

He was a terrible officer.

CORe's occupied the building

as a political protest, right?

Jimmy's got a room on the top floor

and I'm pretty sure he's got Billy in it.

He keeps it locked.

Is there any way I can get to it?

The developers are trying to

clear them out this weekend,

so they're having a party.

The more the merrier.

I cannae be there. I got a family

thing, the missus'd k*ll me.

That's fine. We'll do it.

Thanks for this. It's good work.

Cheers, pal.

Beats delivering curries off a bike.

All right if I head off?

- Yeah.

- Cool. See you.

See you, Sam.

Would you mind covering this?

My leg's not great, but if there's

a chance Billy's in there.

I'm really sorry. I'm away.

It's, er, my anniversary.

Matt's booked a hotel.

- I can't really get out of it.

- OK, yeah. I'll cover it.

I'm really sorry. I mean, I could

come back early Sunday?

Robin. Forget it.

- Have a weekend.

- Right.

Stand there.

And again.

Lovely.

I'm pretty sure I'll remember

what room we're in.

Well, I forgot I went away with

a world-class detective.

It's for my Insta.

I didn't know you were on that.

Yeah. I've got 200 followers, me.

This is really nice, Matt. Thank you.

Yeah, well, you know, technically,

it's not been a year yet.

How's that?

We were pronounced

man and wife at half three.

Till then, you were just some bird

I was going out with.

Hey.

I know I've made a mess of

some things, Robin.

But it really was

the best day of my life.

I'm lucky to have you.

I know that.

I really do.

Sorry.

I do.

Happy anniversary, Matt.

Big fan of techno.

Can I borrow that mask?

You can have it

for a tenner.

How are we feeling about capitalism?

- All right?

- Yeah.

Everyone's pretty much ready to go.

You think so? Is everything set?

- Yeah.

- What's going on?

Three or four policemen outside.

Nothing has really changed,

There's enough people

outside to keep them occupied.

Can you give me two secs?

Yeah, that's fine.

- He's fine.

- What if the police come in?

They ain't getting in today.

What if they do?

And they find him locked up?

So what's your great idea, then?

Come on, let's hear it!

Cos if he talks, we're done.

And all he wants to do is f*cking talk!

Billy? You in there?

Billy?

It's good to see you, Billy.

I've been looking for you.

Who told you about me?

Wh wh wh why are you here?

Billy, remember, you came to me.

- I want to help.

- No, but I can't see you.

- Jimmy'll k*ll me.

- I can keep you safe.

I'm going to find out everything I

can about the girl you saw strangled.

- That's a promise.

- Don't come near me!

Do you recognise this girl?

That's Suki.

Why why've you got that?

- Was she the one you saw?

- No.

Why would you ask that?

Were there any of the Chiswell

family there that night?

Billy

it's important that you

try and think back.

Do you know who strangled that girl?

I can't say.

I can't. I can't.

If Chiswell finds me, he'll k*ll me.

And he'll k*ll Jimmy.

- What did you tell him, Billy?

- Nothing! I

Promise.

Billy, listen to me.

- Chiswell sent him.

- Billy, it's a lie.

No! No! No!

- Billy!

- Please.

Billy!

Billy!

No, no, no, Billy!

Billy, don't do it!

Billy! Billy!

Billy!

- Bastard!

- Ah!

Here you go.

This ought to help!

Wow.

Wow, wow, wow.

- Does it happen a lot?

- No.

I pushed it. Stupid of me.

Do you mind if I

stay here for a few days?

It's really buggered.

Well, I can't very well chuck you out

when you can hardly leave the bedroom.

Hey, what are you doing?

Oh. Nothing.

Just, err, while you were asleep.

Well, I'm awake now.

Come here.

I love you.

I love you too.

Did you get my message?

Hi, Robin. How was your weekend?

It was fine, yeah.

Cormoran's hurt his leg.

He's just staying for a few days.

Do you know where

he keeps his phone charger?

Er, bottom drawer.

Check you out!

Right first time.

I've brought a guest with me.

Found her lurking in your office.

- Do you want your stuff now or?

- Yes, please. Thanks.

Do you want a drink, Robin?

Oh. Yes, please. Erm, anything.

Thanks.

So, did you find him?

Briefly.

But Suki's not the girl he saw, and now,

he's running.

Take a seat.

So, I've been through

the audio on the bugs.

The first one's a call with a woman

called Elspeth Curtis-Lacey.

She's in their charity videos.

She's one of their trustees.

Resigned last month.

You have to give me more time.

End of the month.

I will cast-iron guarantee

I can put the money back.

It's a blip and, we can't go

under over a blip, can we?

I don't believe you'd do

that to us anyway. You've been a

friend to Della for years

I think Geraint's been taking

money out of the charity's fund.

Absolutely perfect for Chiswell.

We'd need decent evidence.

Well, I've asked Izzy for

an introduction to Curtis-Lacey.

She's going to be at an event

for para athletes.

That'll put hairs on your chest.

Oh, thank you.

So this was later,

Geraint talking to Jimmy.

Wait a second, Jimmy.

Close the door, Aamir.

Jimmy, we want the same thing,

and we are very close to

getting the pictures.

Aamir's taking care of it.

Then Chiswell can't hide.

That's the most useful thing so far.

No, it's good.

It might really help us

hang on to our client.

Push hard with Curtis-Lacey

if you have to.

Uh-huh.

Er, how are things with you?

Well, it's not been

a completely wasted day.

Look at Freddie's lapel pin?

It's a fencer.

And he had a fencer's sabre

mounted on his bedroom wall.

I dug around.

He was part of the UK under-19s' squad.

And

so was this girl.

This is Rhiannon Winn.

Della and Geraint's only child.

She's 16 in that photo.

You don't think Billy saw her

strangled?

Rhiannon's buried in Wales.

She's definitely not

the girl from the dell.

But there's this as well.

Is that the same dress as?

Yeah, Rhiannon's the girl

Freddie humiliated at his party.

I called their old fencing coach.

Rhiannon made it on to the team, and

Freddie's girlfriend lost her spot.

What if this is all

the tip of the iceberg?

What if Freddie did something really

nasty, later?

Jimmy was there.

He might know about other photos.

What do you think he did to her?

I don't know, but we know she hanged

herself four weeks after the party.

Chiswell wants everyone to

respect his son's legacy.

But I was on Freddie's case.

All of his men hated him.

Who can we talk to, without

tipping the Chiswells off?

I'm not sure.

Erm, I'd better, erm

I mean, I can I can come back tomorrow

- if you're still going to be here?

- Well, let's see how it goes.

Was it a good weekend?

Yeah, it was OK.

Right. See you, erm

- See you when I see you.

- Yeah.

Thank you, Lorelei.

Bye, darling.

Gorgeous dress, Izzy.

Thanks! You never know with these things.

- Might meet someone.

- Hmm.

Hopefully not another MP!

You must have had some great

parties at Chiswell House.

When we were younger, we did.

What was Freddie's 18th like?

Oh, your dad showed us his room

while we were there.

There were some photos.

No, there aren't, not of that party.

Sorry, what exactly did you see?

- Is that e-mail gone?

- Yes. Deleted.

Pick me up from the Ministry at six.

How was lovely Henry Drummond?

Oh, shut up, Izzy! For God's sake!

Four children.

Only one of them worth

a damn, and he's dead.

He would have stood next to me.

He would have stared them down.

What progress have you made?

Oh, when I speak to

Dr Curtis-Lacey I might be able

Might's no good.

It's my head on the block, not theirs.

Please

They're taking everything from me.

I'm begging you.

How're you doing, Sam?

There's something going on, pal.

Jimmy's gone to some event for athletes.

Wouldn't let me go.

Robin's heading to the same thing.

Christ. Ah!

- I've not interrupted

- I'm with the physio.

Ah, OK.

Listen, they've taken a banner with them.

It's got that horse on it.

You know the one that

Billy carved on your wall?

All right. I'll get down there.

What happened to the week of bed rest?

That happened.

Wow. Venetia, you look amazing.

Thanks, Raff.

And don't you look gorgeous too!

- I love your pendant.

- Ah.

You're being treated very well,

aren't you? For an intern.

Venetia's doing something useful,

and she's free of charge.

So, she's the complete

opposite of you, Kinvara.

Oh, f*ck off, you little sh*t.

What are my Lachesis pills doing here?

- Papa left them there earlier.

- Right.

We should probably push off.

I do think we might have invited Raff.

Didn't want him trailing after

Venetia like a dog in heat.

It's only b*tches who go in to heat.

Well, you'd be the expert.

It's his car next.

Get ready.

Hello, Jimmy.

There's police everywhere, I wouldn't.

The girl buried behind

your dad's cottage.

Did you know her name?

I am ready for some champers!

What's going on?

f*ck!

Oh, my God.

Oi.

Oi, the one with the stick,

he's one of my guests. Let him go.

What were you doing?!

Protecting you.

Get your f*cking hands off me!

m*rder*r!

Chiswell, you bastard!

m*rder*r! m*rder*r!

What did that girl just say?

Why don't you shut up, you stupid bitch?!

Nice dress.

He had a banner with

the white horse on it.

Someone sent Izzy this.

I got it out of her deleted e-mails.

The subject line was

"You owe me 40 grand".

I put the horse on them.

Chiswell's running out of time.

Which means we are too.

Hmm.

You might need a stitch in this.

I didn't think you were coming tonight.

I heard there was a buffet.

I'm afraid they lied to you.

That's politicians.

Hmm.

Hello. Hello, I'm Venetia Hall.

- You're Dr Curtis-Lacey, aren't you?

- That's right.

Are you involved on the political side?

Actually, I really wanted to talk

to you about the Winns' charity.

You're a trustee, aren't you?

I was. I've resigned.

So perhaps I'm not the best

person to talk to

Did you resign over

financial irregularities?

What I'd really like to discuss

is Geraint Winn.

I'm sorry. Who are you?

I'm a private investigator.

I'm not accusing you of anything.

But it would be in your best interests,

if you were honest with me.

That sounds rather like a thr*at.

You're an old friend

of Della Winn's, aren't you.

There's probably still a way

for her to come out of this

with her career intact.

Like I said, it's Geraint I'm

interested in.

I see.

Oh, God.

- Can I have a think?

- Not really, no.

Do you understand?

It has nothing to do with me.

Just leave me alone.

You have your life, I have mine.

Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

She basically confirmed it.

What did she have to say?

We'll do better to get the hard

evidence before

Spit it out! What's he done?

We think he's defrauded their charity.

Trustees are resigning.

Yes. That'd do it.

Before you do anything, we need

Who are you, Venetia?

Evening, Geraint.

This is Cormoran Strike.

He's a private investigator.

You've been taking money

out of your own charity, Geraint.

That'll ruin you, if it gets out.

You and Della, both.

- It was a loan.

- No, it wasn't.

And your trustees might have

tried to slip off quietly,

but they won't lie to the police.

You'll tell Jimmy Knight that you

can't get your evidence, after all.

And I'll forget to call the Charity

Commissioners about your accounts.

Do we understand one another?

Yes.

Off you go, then.

Come and see me at Ebury Street

tomorrow, 10am, will you?

I think I might have another job for you.

I feel a bit bad about that.

Maybe it's time we went home.

See you at Ebury Street.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Corm.

Charlotte.

What are you doing here?

Celebrity amputee.

You?

Jago's niece rides. The one with

- Cerebral palsy.

- Yeah.

Erm, her father's in Hong Kong,

so her mum invited me along instead.

Are you here with anyone?

No.

Who've you brought?

Twins.

That's why I'm huge.

Not due for bloody ages!

Oh, my God, Charlie!

Izzy.

How are you?

Oh, you know

sort of all over the place.

I've heard all your news from Raff.

Raff had a little wingding with one

of Charlie's friends.

Is he well?

Oh, he's incorrigible.

There's the, erm,

the girl who plays the trumpet,

erm, the arty girl on a

houseboat, the baronet's daughter.

Oh, erm sorry.

Bye, Izzy.

I don't think I'm going your way.

Well, unless you're tunnelling out,

we're both heading for the door.

Heels. Some things I'm not prepared

to give up.

Share a cab?

No.

Where's the cane I gave you?

You kept it.

Happy birthday.

It's completely beautiful.

Not at all your usual thing.

That's not true.

Any chance I can smoke?

- Hiya.

- Hi.

I can smell the booze on you.

Oh, bit of lubricant.

Let's get this thing off you.

I'm not really in the mood.

Oh, Matt.

Come on, it's only a dress.

I'm tired. I don't want to.

Thank you for having me here this week.

It's been good.

I've liked it too.

I want you to know I

really like what we have.

It's good, isn't it?

I love you.

What did he make you do, Billy?

I'm sorry.

Oh, sh*t.

Lisle Street, at the end

of Leicester Street.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Billy?!

Ambulance is coming, stay with me.

I'm doing all that. I'm doing all that.

Cormoran, are you close?

It's just, he's got a real

thing about punctuality.

Go in. Tell him I'm stuck in traffic.

I'll explain when I see you.

OK.
