I can't get over the organic veggies business.
It's the most Chelsea thing I've ever heard.
So, why did you say yes to a second date
if I'm too...Chelsea for you? I have no idea.
Tell me something I wouldn't expect...
..something personal. I'd just rather talk about you.
SHE LAUGHS Nice try!
Don't you want me to get to know you?
What are you hiding?Nothing.
I'm just not good at banging on about myself.
Do you have bodies buried in your basement?
Look, I do want you to get to know me.
I like you...
..a lot.
Jack.
Fancy meeting you here. How have you been?
Not now, Kai. Just give us two minutes.
As you can see, I'm kind of busy.
You've got some nerve, showing your face in here.
Jack, this is important.
Get out, or I'm ringing the police.
You heard her.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
What was that all about?No idea.
PHONE VIBRATES
Look at that view!
It's just so beautiful up here.
It is.
Do you want to come back to my place?
What about the bodies in your basement?
HE LAUGHS
I'm not a psychopath, I promise.
That's exactly what a psychopath would say.
Well...
DOOR OPENS
Rena.
Sorry. I just closed my eyes for a sec.
I must have dozed off. Big night, was it?
What if Nicholas had dropped by?
He's not spying on us. Just one more day,
then we can relax. Oh, stop worrying!
He's not going to change his mind.
You're in an unusually good mood.
The date went really well last night. I think...
I think it could be the start of something.
Just be careful with the men on these apps.
They're only after one thing, then they move on to the next girl.
Jack's not like that.
We had this amazing...connection.
He's already asked to see me again. We're meeting up after work.
You can't go out again tonight. I need you fresh for the morning.
It's an early dinner.
Look, I promise that I will still be on my A game tomorrow.
Hmm.
ANSWER MACHINE: Hi, you've reached Jack's phone.
Please don't leave a message. I'll get back to you when I can.
BEEPING
Hey, Jack.
Um, I didn't hear from you,
so I assume you meant to meet at the restaurant.
Um, so, yes, see you very soon.
ANSWER MACHINE: Hi, you've reached Jack's phone.
Please don't leave a message. I'll get back to you when I can.

ANSWER MACHINE: Hi, you've reached Jack's phone...
KNOCKS ON DOOR
Jack! Jack! I know you're in there.
Oh, my God, Jack!
Jack, you can't just ignore me!
Did you do anything nice last night?
Well, Jon couldn't make it to London,
so I had the night to myself.
I started this brilliant doc on serial killers.
Sorry...
..that's how you spend your free time?
Serial killers?
Jack Felton, 25 years old.
Multiple stab wounds to the chest.
From the condition of the body, I'd say he's been dead
less than 24 hours.
And, no, the killer hasn't conveniently left
the murder weapon at the scene.
Always disappointing.
But from the size of the wounds, it's a small knife or blade.
It looks like he had company, or was expecting someone.
Hey!Sorry.
Possible point of entry?
It was open when we arrived,
but there's no damage to the glass or frame,
which suggests the victim could have left it unlocked.
Could be a botched burglary...
..but the place hasn't been ransacked,
the TV and computers are still here.
It feels more like a crime of passion.
Multiple frenzied stab wounds to the chest.
Our killer let their emotions get the better of them.Yeah.
We found these on the kitchen counter. Here.
Hey.Hey.
Er, Jack's cleaner found the body around 8am.
She has her own keys to the house, but she says
she was travelling back from Spain with her family yesterday.
I'll follow up and check her alibi.
Yeah, I spoke to one of the neighbours at number 13.
He heard a woman outside Jack's house at around 8pm last night.
Too dark to ID her, but he said
it sounded like she was trying to get Jack to let her in.
Hmm.Also, these were found on the kitchen counter.
VAN BEEPS
Hmm.Huh.
SIREN WAILS
Um...yesterday morning at around 7.30.
He always stops by on his way back from the wholesalers.
Now, how did Jack seem? Oh, he was happy.
Yeah, his business is doing really well and...
It would be helpful to know more about Jack's routine.
Did he keep records of where he made his deliveries and his suppliers?
I don't know, but if he did, I guess it would all be on his laptop.
Were there other people helping Jack out with the business?
He's never mentioned anyone.
Does it all himself, as far as I'm aware.
Jack's phone and house keys haven't turned up,
but there was no sign of forced entry.
Apart from his cleaner, would there be anyone else
who would have access to his house? A girlfriend or partner?
Um, Jack's a bit of a player.
None of his relationships lasted that long.
I know it's hard, but today has to go smoothly.
Rena, please.
You know how important this is.
It will be really useful to know your movements yesterday,
just to establish a timeline.
Yes. Um, I was working from home in the morning,
and I had a meeting in town in the afternoon,
so I was out from about, um...
..two till four. Who were you meeting?
A client. I run an interior design business.
We were talking through plans for their renovation.
You... You were at number 24 for most of the day, yeah?
Yeah, I was, um... I've been doing up a Jag for a neighbour...
..Ted Kingston. I was there from ten till five.
And you, Caleb? I was with one of my piano students,
Fin Edwards, in the afternoon.
Then I stayed in all evening, trying to finish a new composition.
It's an enviable skill, writing your own music.
Oh, Caleb's been offered a place
at the California School for Creative Arts.
It's a very prestigious course. Congratulations.
You mentioned Jack and Caleb's dad is now based in New York.
Would you like to notify him?
Or we can do it for you if that's helpful.
Maybe you should let them do it. You've got so much on your plate
without having to talk to him as well.
Yes. Yes, thank you. We're not really on speaking terms.
Could you take a look at these photos from Jack's house?
I'm trying to figure out if anything was stolen.
It's hard to tell.
Did you find his watch?Do you have a photo of it you could send us?
Yes, yes, I gave it to Jack as a graduation present.
It has an inscription on the back,
"Love you always, Mum". "Mum".
So, Jack's missing watch.
Newish black leather strap, inscription on the back.
I'll keep a lookout, see if it turns up in any pawnbrokers in the area.
I got hold of Michael Felton, Jack's dad.
He moved to New York six months ago.
And the rest of the family?
Er, Pete and Caleb's alibis checked out.
Mrs Torres, Jack's cleaner, was flying back from Madrid yesterday.
Her flight didn't get into Heathrow till 1am this morning.
And I haven't been able to get hold of Emily Easton,
the client Frances said she saw yesterday afternoon,
but I have left a message.
Did we get anything useful from Jack's laptop?
A folder with a few customer accounts.
I rang all the contact numbers.
No-one had heard from Jack since Thursday evening.
We should check out West London wholesale markets.
Someone must have seen Jack on Friday morning.
Good idea. What about his phone records?
There were ten missed calls from the same number
between 5.45pm and 7.53pm yesterday. It's registered to a Rena Friedman.
Could be the woman who was trying to get into Jack's house.
Well, ten missed calls. She was pretty desperate to get hold of him.
Mm. Let's pay Rena Friedman a visit.
I can't tell you how much this means to us.
I'm glad I can help.
You know, this place means so much to our community, as do you.
I know your parents would have been so proud.
Morning.
I'm Detective Inspector Max Arnold.
DS Layla Walsh. We're looking for Rena Friedman.
Um, I'm Rena.
Is there somewhere we can talk more privately?
She'll be with you in one minute. We were just finishing up here.
Um, this really can't wait.
Sorry. I'm sure this won't take long.
Look, this is obviously important. I can come back.
Hi there, Andy...Nicholas!
We were hoping to get the contract signed today
and you still need to try your suit. I'll be in touch to rearrange.
Hi. Hi. Yes. Sorry, I beg your pardon.
And you met... On a dating app about a month ago.
I feel like I'd known him for longer cos we...
..we spoke on the phone quite a bit,
but, um, yeah, I'd only met him twice.
When was the last time you saw him?
Thursday night. We went to the Fox & Hounds for a few drinks.
Did Jack do or say anything to indicate he might be in trouble?
A guy came over to our table.
Er, he seemed kind of desperate to talk to Jack about something.
But Jack told him to leave.
Jack didn't tell you what this was about?
Did you get his name?
Kai, I think.
The landlady knew who he was.
She threatened to call the police on him.
Jack's phone records show ten missed calls from you yesterday.
Why did you need to get hold of him?
He was meant to meet me at a restaurant at six.
Yeah, he never turned up.
Have you ever been to his house?
On the way back from the pub on Thursday.
What about yesterday evening
when he didn't turn up at the restaurant?
No, I came straight home.
Are you sure about that?
A lady was spotted outside his address.
Well, that wasn't me.
We'll need you to come in as soon as possible
to give a written statement
and so we can take samples of your fingerprints and DNA.
Yeah, whatever I can do to help.
I got the feeling Rena wasn't being entirely honest
about what happened the day Jack died.
And I'll be interested to see if she sticks to that story
in her written statement.Mm.
Oh, I have fond memories of this pub.
I had my first pint here.
And you were 18 at the time, I presume?
I was very tall for my age.Hmm.
I haven't had the chance to check out any of my new locals.
Oh, you're spoilt for choice. Well, you've got nowhere to look.
I'll make some recommendations. That'd be great.
PHONE VIBRATES
Everything all right?
Shall we?
Yeah, they were here Thursday night.
Seemed like a sweet couple.
Do you remember a man approaching their table?
Apparently, you threatened to call the police.
Kai Wishaw. Wouldn't pay his tab.
I'm so angry with myself for letting him set one up in the first place.
I thought he was just another rich kid with a trust fund.
Why is he refusing to pay up? Said his parents cut him off.
Who knows if that's true?
Was Thursday night the first time
that Mr Wishaw and Jack Felton had been in here together?
Well, they're both regulars, but they normally sit
at different tables. They seemed more acquaintances than friends.
I'll get Jess and Connor to follow up and run him through the PNC.
Grilled sea bass with lobster butter.
Things have changed in here. Mm, got to move with the times.
Sorry I'm late. Work overran. You know the story.
All too well. Let's walk. I've already had a coffee.
Your message was rather ominous.
What did you need to tell me in person?
I'm seeing someone.
Ah.I thought you should know.
Thank you for telling me.
He wants to know about our situation.
What are we doing, Max?
We're separated and we haven't made it official.
By official, you mean... You know exactly what I mean.
Who is he? Have I met him?
I don't know.
He was at my drinks last month.
That photographer. I thought you looked cosy.
Bit polished, isn't he? Rather serious.
Didn't think that was your type. What is my type?
Scruffy and childish? Relaxed and witty.
Stubborn and argumentative. Whoa, you can talk!
That last trip to Rome, you refused to eat anywhere touristy.
You wandered around in the blistering heat for hours.
I wasn't going to have bad Italian food in Rome.
No point in being there. See? Stubborn and argumentative.
You always have to have the last word, don't you?
That's one of the most frustrating aspects of your personality.
Well, now, you've found somebody else to argue with.
Good luck to him. He's in for a bumpy ride.
HE PLAYS MELANCHOLY MUSIC
That's very beautiful. It's still a work in progress.
Can I come in?
Have you heard back about the grant?
Not yet, but it'll come through.
Um... SHE CLEARS THROAT
I know that Jack could be a bit of a...
..closed book. I can't remember the last time he confided in me.
But can you think of anything
that had been upsetting him recently,
anything that, I don't know, seemed a bit...
..off?
The argument on Friday morning... Nobody mentioned it to the police.
Um, because... because it wasn't relevant.
HE PLAYS JAZZ-STYLE MUSIC
HE BASHES KEYS
Talk about an early start!
Not a morning person. Got it. Not this morning, no.
Well...
..someone around here must have seen Jack the day of the murder.
Why don't we split up, meet back here?Yeah.
This is insane. I... You know, I only saw him the other day.
At the Fox & Hounds, hmm? We heard you interrupted his date.
What were you so keen to talk to him about?
I was just making conversation.
Are you one of Jack's customers?
Was that the extent of your relationship?
How do you mean?
Maybe Jack lent you money you couldn't pay back.
Maybe you were asking him for more on Thursday night.
Why would I ask Jack for money?
You told the landlady you couldn't pay your tab
because your parents cut you off. What was that? A lie?
That is not a lie.
You can call them if you want. Why did they cut you off?
You must have done something pretty bad to make that kind of statement.
They just thought it was time for me to stand on my own two feet.
All the traders I spoke to recognised Jack.
He came here at least once a week.
Yeah, and he got most of his produce from this guy, Frank Townsend.
Excuse me. DI Max Arnold. Are you Frank Townsend?
DS Layla Walsh. We're investigating the death of Jack Felton.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Jack was a top bloke. What happened?
I'm afraid we can't give out any details while the case is ongoing.
We were told that Jack bought most of his produce from you every week.
I gave him a good deal. Worth it to keep him coming back.
Also, we got on.
He used to update me about his, er, eventful love life.
We know Jack was here last Friday, 17th.
Did you see him that morning?
What time?He was one of my first customers, so around six.
Did you notice anything different about him?
Was he preoccupied, more stressed than usual?
If anything, he had a bit of a swagger.
He'd got a girl to go home with him the night before.
PHONE VIBRATES
We'll be in touch if we have any more questions.
Do you want to get that?Oh, it's OK. They'll leave a message.
Isn't that Jack's van?
PHONE VIBRATES
No, it's fine. The van's stopped too.
Want one?
I'm all right for rabbit food, thanks.
I'm saving myself for a bacon butty.
And an early grave!
Sorry?What?
Well, clearly there was someone else involved in Jack's business
that his family didn't know about.
Well, one of them is lying to us. Mm.
Shall I?Mm.
You told us you weren't involved in Jack's business.
Oh, I wasn't, but there are angry customers all over Instagram,
demanding their money back unless I get these out today.
Wouldn't it be easier just to give everyone a refund
and shut the business down?
He worked so hard to build the business up.
It feels like such a shame to just shut it down.
I'm going to keep it going
till I can find someone else to take it over.
It's what Jack would have wanted.
Just to follow up on our last visit,
is there anything else that would be useful for us to know about Jack?
It can be hard to be totally honest about someone in front of family.
Maybe there are certain things you might not want to admit
to your mother about Jack...
..things she might not want to admit to herself.
Sorry...I can't think of anything.
Where are we on the time of death?
It's been hard to narrow it down.
The window was left open
and the underfloor heating was on all night,
affecting the body temperature.
Best guess is 2 to 9pm, until I have the cellular work back,
but that could take till the end of the week.
Two till nine. That's not going to help
narrow down our list of suspects.
You can't always rely on me to solve your cases for you.
Kai Whishaw, one of Jack's customers.
He tried to downplay his parents cutting him off,
but there's definitely more to it.
And he got this call from a withheld number.
Seemed to seriously spook him. I have a new lead.
I've started going through Jack's bank statements.
There's a payment to the Cove Hotel in Brighton
on the Friday before he was murdered.
Just spoke to the receptionist.
Jack checked in at 5pm with a lady with long, dark hair.
She paid half the bill. Card is registered to a Mrs Sophie Carter.
So, the week before he was killed,
Jack stayed at a hotel in Brighton with a married woman?Mm-hmm.
Chateau Montclar!
Hmm, I'm envious!
This is classy recycling.
Organic cacao nibs. I can't believe she's finished a whole packet.
I bought some once when I tried to give up chocolate.
They taste like wood shavings. Sorry, give up chocolate?
Why would you do that to yourself?
I know. I won't be making that mistake again.
Ooh, what have we here?
Always look in the bins.
Everyone loved Jack, wanted to be in his orbit.
I felt very lucky to be his friend.
Were you and Jack ever more than friends?
We had a very brief thing at uni, but I don't see how that's relevant.
We know you and Jack stayed at the Cove in Brighton on 10th.
We were there for a friend's birthday.
It was cheaper to share a room. How long were you in Brighton?
Just the one night. I drove us back Saturday afternoon.
And was that the last time you saw him?
Mm.A woman was spotted outside Jack's house
around 8pm on Friday 17th, the day he was murdered.
I was here with my husband on Friday night.
DOOR OPENS
You can ask him yourself.
What's all this?
Can you talk us through your movements on Friday?
I had meetings with clients all day at the bank,
Morgan & Featherstone on Sloane Square.
Left at around 6.30.
I was back here for dinner with Sophie at around seven.
Did you know Jack well? He was Sophie's friend.
Is that why you didn't join them on their trip to Brighton?
I was meant to be on a work trip to Paris that weekend,
but my flight was cancelled.
Did you and Jack often go away together without Laurence?
No. But like I said, we were visiting a friend.
What's the big deal? Not everyone would be OK
with their wife sharing a hotel room with another guy.
I trust Sophie.
Yes, I understand that we're all going through a lot right now,
but that doesn't change my decision.
I do know that, Michael,
so please don't say anything to Caleb.
Not until it's absolutely necessary, all right?
SHE SIGHS
Well, Laurence was trying very hard to seem OK
with Jack and Sophie's trip, a little too hard.
There's no way he believes that story about the friend's birthday.
Maybe he knew full well what they were up to.
Laurence was issued with a speeding ticket
at 3pm on the day of the murder.
So much for being in the office all day.Oh, it gets better.
He was pulled over at the end of Carlisle Street, which...
Leads on to Jack's road.
Your speeding ticket, issued at 3pm on the day of the murder.
Just a few metres from Jack's house.
I thought Sophie might be there, but I was wrong.
Why did you think Sophie would be at Jack's house?
You left your office in the middle of the working day.
You must have had more than a hunch.
You're a suspect in a murder investigation.
Might I suggest you start telling the truth?
I have her Find My Phone login details.
I've been checking to see where she is.
That's quite an invasion of your wife's privacy.
Sophie didn't even tell me she was going away for the weekend.
I only found out because my flight was cancelled.
So, you thought you'd spy on her instead of talking to her about it?
I did ask her outright if something was going on between them,
and she said no.
I can tell when she's keeping something from me.
So, did you find Sophie at Jack's that afternoon?
I thought she was turning onto Jack's road,
but she drove straight past it. That's when I got pulled over.
I didn't even realise I was speeding.
When I checked the app, I saw she'd gone
to a house on York Road near Ranelagh Gardens.
Do you know what she was doing on York Road?
Sophie said she'd been to a friend's to drop something round.
I'm not proud of the way I behaved, but I didn't go to Jack's house.
Ashley hasn't been able to match Laurence's fingerprints
to any found in Jack's house. If he was there, can't prove it.
What about Rena? Did she come in this morning?
She gave us samples, but conveniently left
before we could get a written statement.
She's worried she's going to perjure herself. What's she hiding?
Our thoughts exactly, so we did some more digging.
Looking at all her social media, nothing about Jack,
but there's this selfie of her and an @LouisMontel99
from just over two years ago. An ex, do you think?
He hasn't posted anything since he was tagged in this photo,
so we checked his other socials.
"You left us too soon, my friend."
"Hope you're finally at peace." Oh...
Afternoon. We have some more questions for your sister.
Thank you so much, Mrs Greene. I will call you later about that.
Thank you. Goodbye.Bye-bye.
Thanks for that. She's probably on her street group chat
telling everyone we've had the police round.
That'll be great for business.
Rena's not here. She's out doing home deliveries.
She won't be back for a couple of hours.
Well, we were really hoping to speak with Rena about Louis Montel.
Do you recognise him?
This was taken about two years ago.
Don't think so. Rena doesn't always introduce me
to the men she's seeing.Why's that?
Oh, she's a hopeless romantic.
Keep telling her, if she went for a nice boy,
one who actually wanted to settle down, then it wouldn't end in tears.
But she always follows her heart instead of her head, so...
So, Rena never mentioned Louis? Mm, not that I can remember.
Well, that's odd,
cos a couple of weeks after that photo was taken, Louis died.
Jumped off Chelsea Bridge.
Oh, God. That's awful.
We contacted his brother.
He said that Rena took the break-up very badly,
sent Louis lots of angry messages, turned up outside his house.
I don't know what happened,
but it sounds like you've only got one side of the story.
That's why we really need to speak to Rena.
Can you ask her to return our calls? Yeah.
Anything more on the murder weapon?
A sharp blade, inch wide.
Deepest incision was three inches.
Kitchen knife?It could be,
but I've tested everything we bagged up at the scene. No luck.
Did we get anything on the beer bottles or the plates of food?
I only found Jack's prints.
The food looked untouched at the scene,
so the murder must have happened before they had a chance to eat.
So, we can't place Rena at Jack's house on Friday evening.
You really do need me to crack your cases for you.
Oh, Ashley's going to save the day yet again.
We should get you a cape. I couldn't wear a cape in the lab.
It's a contamination risk.
So, I...matched Rena's prints
with several found inside Jack's house,
which could fit with her story
that she was only there on Thursday night. But...
I also found her prints on the living room window.
Well, how do we know she didn't just open it
when she was round on Thursday night?
Because there were four fingerprints on the inside of the frame
and a thumbprint on the outside, which means...
She opened it from the street. We've got her.
You mean I got her.
Quite right.
I can't believe you nabbed the last one!
I need to keep my blood sugar levels up
if I'm going to get through all this.
You're naturally energetic.
Right. Well, there's nothing in the original police report
or coroner's records to suggest that Louis' death wasn't suicide.
Anything interesting in his phone records?
Rena did contact Louis a lot in the week of his death,
but all that proves is she was struggling to accept
the relationship was...over.
Hang on!
PHONE VIBRATES
Connor?
We found the last person Louis spoke to
before he jumped off Chelsea Bridge.
Well, that's very helpful.
You told our colleagues you didn't know Louis Montel.
I didn't.
Then how come we found your number in his phone records?
The last call he received the day he died.
SHE CLEARS THROAT
Rena was really upset after the break-up.
I just thought he should know.
Mm. That call lasted just over five minutes.
You must have had more to say than that.
Well, he used Rena and then tossed her aside.
He needed to know that he couldn't just go around
acting like a selfish prick.
Then he threw himself off Chelsea Bridge.
Sounds like he took you seriously. Mm.
Louis didn't care what I thought about him.
He was a very...troubled guy.
The last guy I couldn't get hold of...Louis...
..he...You were worried something might have happened to Jack.
Is that when you tried the window?
I just wanted to check that he was OK.
Then I, um, heard people, like, walking down the street towards me,
and I just realised how crazy I must look,
so I just...I just ran.
I ran all the way home.Did you see anything when you open the window?
Just two plates of food and...
..two beers on the coffee table, so he...
..had someone with him.
What, no blood, no signs of a struggle?No.
Why weren't you honest with us from the start?
Sadie has worked so hard to try and find a new investor
to keep the business afloat.
I mean, if Nicholas hears that I'm involved in all of this,
there's just no way that he'll still become a partner. That's...
If we lose him, we lose the shop.
It's been in our family for generations.
It sounds like Sadie puts a lot of pressure on herself and you.
You're clearly very protective of your sister.
Did you also confront Jack when he tossed her aside?
No.Jack was yet another man
who didn't treat Rena with the respect she deserves.
It would have killed you to have seen her so upset.
I can understand why you'd want to go round there
and have it out with him.
Well, she's my little sister. Of course I was angry.
And, yeah, maybe I did want to go round there
and give him a piece of my mind, cause him some pain, but I didn't.
She's done nothing but look out for me.
Our mum passed away when I was 11, so she kind of took on that role.
And then, our dad died five years ago, so it's...
it's just the two of us.
Clearly, Sadie takes her role as protector very seriously.
Perhaps too seriously.
Could she have gone to confront Jack after he stood you up?No!
Why...why would she do that?
She confronted Louis the same day he threw himself off Chelsea Bridge.
I would do just about anything for my sister...
..but I wouldn't kill for her.
