Haven't you got a hug for your mother?

And it's been a stressful few days.

TOM: It's all right.
I get it. Of course.
You know, it's natural to be concerned,
but it is important that you know
that the police did
release me without charge.
I I did my best to help
them with their inquiries.
I'll continue to do so.
And I hope they find the person
who did this as much as you do.
You know, Katy was a
a valued and much loved colleague.
And we'll miss her hugely.
I know I will.
Oh, and, uh, we're gonna be
yeah, just to show our
appreciation for her family,
we're gonna be doing a collection.
- Hey.
- Hey. How are you guys?
I, uh, brought you some cake
to help cheer you up.
TOM: donating whatever you can.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
BETH: I mean, it was a huge shock.
It must have been so
hard for all of you.
It's been a lot to deal with.
It wasn't so long ago she was
sitting right where you are.
She had her issues,
but I just can't picture
anyone wanting to hurt her.
Was she seeing anyone?
She liked to date.
Think there was only
one she really liked.
I mean, she was so private.
My guess is he was married.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Hmm.
[ENTRY BELL RINGS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Beth, what's the latest?
Well, everything's good.
Tom was released last
night without charge.
That's a relief.
All a big mistake.
Bye, then.
Everything okay there?
[ENTRY BELL RINGS]
He's not right.
I I know the cost of the wedding
has been stressing him, but
that murder sent him
even more inside his head.
He knew Katy from school.
Just hit him in a funny way.

Ah, yes. Poppy's so excited.
Yeah. First one since Marnie,
so just want to make
sure it's really special.
- What did you want to
- Yeah.
This has got all the
photos of Poppy on it.
I wanted to print them off
for my mum before she leaves.
The place in town can't do it for ages,
and you're the I.T. supremo.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
Yeah, no, I can probably do it.
Yeah. Leave it with me.
But, like, a day or two?
Uh, probably be next week.
Thanks, Adam. I appreciate it.
- Want a cup of tea, coffee?
- Yeah, a coffee,

- Come through.
Who knew planning a kid's
party could be so complicated?
In my day, you were lucky
if you got a goody bag.
Now it's all cupcake

I really appreciate you
letting us do Jess' birthday at yours.
He's told me everything, Adam.
About how he's been
unfaithful with Katy.
There's no point in denying it.
I'm so sorry.

Big news. Just had a call
from Lancashire Police.
Alison Mayhew has been
found alive and well.
You serious?
Yeah.
She, uh, ran off to the
Pennines with a new lover.
Decided to experiment
living off the grid.
Well, I mean, obviously it's good news,
but it means moving forward,
we've got to treat Katy's
murder as an isolated incident.
Can you get the team moving, all right?
We need to find out where
Katy got her drugs from.
Right, let's get back to the station.
I've got a persistent
caller to deal with.
Let's see what he wants.
Right.

MICHAEL: Hello.
Hi. Mr. Alderton, this is
Detective Inspector Edgeworth
- returning your call.
- Ah.
Finally.
I gather that you are
keen to speak to me
about the Katy Asquith case.
Your messages mention your daughter.
Yes. Yes, yes, my daughter Phoebe.
Uh
well, look, after I saw
you'd arrested him
I had to speak to someone.
When you say, "him,"
I take it you're
referring to Tom Fairchild.
Yes.
Phoebe and he were together
for a time,
up until she died.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
A mugging they said, you know,

[CHUCKLES] When I skipped bits,
she pulled me up on it. [CHUCKLES]
Kids don't miss a thing.
Yeah.
You okay?
[ICE CUBES CLINK]
I know. About Katy and the others.
Your receptionist seems to think Katy
was fucking someone
married, presumably you.
And Adam was good enough
to confirm the others.
[CHUCKLES]
Okay.
How many have you had?
I bluffed, Tom
pretended that you confessed.
And then Adam spilled everything.
You've been lying to me,
cheating on our family.
Mm, what about you, Beth?
Tricking information out of people,
out of our friends? Is
that normal behavior?
Define normal, Tom.
Because I don't think it's normal
to fuck someone with your
hands around their neck.
I found your phone.
Texts, photos,
extreme, violent porn,
including a video of you
strangling Katy Asquith.
I wasn't strangling her.
Imagine if the police had found that.
Yeah, I'm not stupid.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Did you kill her?
Beth, come on.
Fucking like that does
not make me a murderer.
And you know that.
Where is it, the phone?
I got rid of it.
- How? Where is it now?
- I said I got rid of it.
I can't bear to be near you right now.
You know
people don't come back
from accusations like this.
Not without their spouses beside them.

Yeah, just waiting on the spare part.
Soon as it comes, I'll be moving along.
Don't worry.
So why didn't you tell me
about this when I first arrived?
About what's going on with Tom?
You and he aren't exactly friendly.
It's not like you need
any extra ammunition.
But you can't just pretend
he hasn't been arrested for murder.
He's been released without charge.
Oh, okay. And the police
are gonna question
him again, aren't they?
How the fuck do I know? Hopefully not,
because he's innocent.
And you know that for a fact, do you?
Yes! I do.
Because I know Tom.
You can never really know anyone, Beth.
I would never put Poppy in danger, ever.
If you don't trust my judgment

This is Phoebe Alderton.
She died six years ago.
She was dating Tom

Now, City Police investigated,
but they reckoned it was just
a mugging that went wrong,
and they never got anyone for it.
Her phone and her
purse were both missing,
never recovered.
The exact same M.O. as Katy Asquith.
- Yeah.
- Whose handbag's missing, too.
And both were close to
