TANIKA: The bullet that killed Mr. Kassam was fired from the same gun that was used to kill Mr. Dunwoody.

Liz?

You okay?

LIZ: Why wouldn't I be?

SUZIE: The police asked me about some sort of medallion.

JUDITH: A medallion at one scene implies a medallion at the other.

SUZIE: Faith, hope, and charity.

There's going to be a third murder.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (thunder cracks) (whimpering) (click) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ TANIKA: Okay, everyone.

The killer left a medallion at the first crime scene after all.

This one has "faith" written on it.

Process it, please, Alice-- I want it fast-tracked.

Okay.

The first murder was "faith," the second "hope," the next would be "charity."

There's going to be a third murder?

TANIKA: No.

We're going to catch the killer first.

All planned leave, training, annual reviews-- it's all cancelled, and I want a full update on both murder cases in my office in ten minutes.

And...

The medallion was found by some civilians.

I've decided to hire them as advisers.

Not that woman that was here!

No.

I thought you'd lost the plot then.

I mean her and her two friends.

Thank you.

Oh, and you'll want to know about Chris Bott.

We had to release him without charge.

He was in the United States at the time of both murders.

He's in the clear.

Even though it was his gun that was used.

We think it was his gun.

There's an old door at the back of his house.

Anyone could have picked the lock, got in, stolen it.

(groans) SUZIE: This is mad!

Every time we find someone that could've done it, they've got an alibi.

JUDITH: Well, that's not what's worrying me.

Why?

What's worrying you?

What if the killer's someone else entirely?

Someone we haven't even considered yet?

Oh, great, thanks.

You should know, there is no Stefan Dunwoody or Iqbal Kassam, or Chris Bott, for that matter.

There's no one who's connected to either case?

Not that I could find.

Not even Elliot Howard?

He's not on the list.

Bit of a dead end, Sarge?

Not to worry.

Our civilian advisers will come to the rescue.

That's what I reckon.

Sorry, ma'am.

(calling): Who's got the case files?

Should... (exhales) JUDITH: Right.

Did Tanika say you could take these?

Uh, not exactly, no.

But I worked through them last night, and I must say, she's very good at her job.

I couldn't find a single lead she didn't follow up or a clue or whatever.

Well, that's good to know.

But Suzie, I did find Iqbal's bank statements.

They don't show any large deposits in the last six months.

So it's like he said.

SUZIE: Are you a millionaire yet, Iqbal?

I really don't want to talk about this, Suzie.

Sorry.

Come on in, Luna.

JUDITH: Well, whatever happened, he didn't end up getting a lot of money.

But there is this loose end.

In Tanika's report, she says she saw a redheaded woman at Stefan's funeral, sitting on a nearby bench in the graveyard.

But the woman left before she had time to speak to her.

COLIN: Receive him, we pray, into the mansions of the saints.

Look also with favor on those who mourn...

Yes, yes, I saw her, too.

She's someone I know from yoga-- her name's Liz Curtis.

Hold on-- Liz Curtis was at Stefan's funeral?

Well, not exactly.

But she was watching.

Why?

Is that a surprise?

Damn right, it is-- that woman is a killer!

What?

If we're looking for someone who could've carried out these murders, well, then, Liz Curtis has killed before.

♪ ♪ SUZIE: We can help you here, Tanika.

The woman you saw at Stefan's funeral is Liz Curtis.

She runs the Marlow Rowing Center with her husband, Danny.

How do you know that?

I used to dogsit for her a few years ago.

(exhales) Anyway, there was a really bad flood-- loads of damage to the center.

They had to put it up for sale.

SUZIE: I mean, the whole town rallied around and got it back up on its feet, but let me tell you, Liz never wanted to sell it in the first place.

(engine stops) And then, one day, out of the blue, Liz stopped using me.

I mean, whatever-- it happens.

But the next time I saw Liz, Rollo wasn't with her.

She said the vet had to put him down, but, but was being really weird about it.

So I asked around, and I found out there'd been nothing wrong with Rollo.

(breathes deeply) SUZIE: So that is what I mean when I say she has killed before.

A dog.

It's still murder.

(inhales): Okay, let me see what we can dig up on Liz Curtis this end.

Oh, and check any links between Liz Curtis and Elliot Howard.

Are you at the rowing center?

(inhales) What's that?

TANIKA (on phone): You mustn't speak to Liz Curtis.

What's...

I want you all to come to the station at once.

Sorry, the reception's very bad.

You're breaking up.

Do you think they bought that?

(whispering): Shh!

We haven't turned it off.

You haven't turned the phone off?

SUZIE: You didn't turn it off?!

No, look, look, give it to me.

Where is it?

All right.

(phone chirps) BRENDAN: Jason?

I reckon we need to do a background check on Elizabeth Curtis from the Marlow Rowing Center-- any links she might have with either of the victims.

Oh, and Elliot Howard, as well.

If Mrs. Potts says he's involved, then, well, he's involved.

Isn't that right... Sarge?

(others murmuring) (kids calling, exclaiming in background) SUZIE: Morning, Liz.

Suzie, Becks.

You looking to go out on the river?

BECKS: Not exactly.

We wanted to talk to you about Stefan Dunwoody.

Who?

Stefan Dunwoody.

No, I, I don't know the name.

Then why was you at his funeral?

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

I've really got to get back to work.

SUZIE: You can't just walk away, Liz.

Please don't follow me.

But she... Becks saw you there.

It's true.

I was taking a break in the cemetery.

And these people came out the church, and I didn't know whose funeral it was.

JUDITH: Okay.

So what about Iqbal Kassam?

He's the, he's the taxi driver who was, who was shot, right?

Just like Mr. Dunwoody was shot.

I didn't know him.

JUDITH: Are you sure of that?

Excuse me, um, I really need to get on.

See you at yoga on Tuesday!

Does that look like an innocent woman to you?

Has anyone got a bag on them?

Poo bag?

That'll do nicely.

After the break-in at Stefan's, the police found fresh fingerprints on the door handle.

BECKS: You think it was Liz who stole the painting?

Well, she's guilty of something.

SUZIE: That's Liz's husband, Danny.

We should talk to him-- come on.

(knock at door, door opens) SUZIE: Hi, Danny.

Hey, Suze.

You all right?

Have you got a minute?

Sure-- what's up?

BECKS: Wow!

Is this all Liz?

(chuckles): Certainly is, yeah.

I used to row once, too.

That's how we met.

But then she won a gold medal at the Sydney Olympics, so compared to her, I was nothing.

(chuckles) So, um, how can I help?

We're here on a police matter.

(laughs): No way!

Yes way.

(chuckles) Just wanted to ask you about Liz and Stefan Dunwoody.

Well, what do you want to know?

Well, did Liz know Stefan?

Sure-- sorry, who are you?

Oh, of course-- Judith Potts.

And I'm Becks Starling.

Although it says "Rebecca" on here-- I do yoga with your wife.

Um, you were saying that Liz knew Stefan?

Yeah, had done for years.

Ask her yourself.

She was pretty shaken up when he died.

It's not my thing, art, but Liz is into all that stuff.

I mean, they weren't close or anything, but, well, she was definitely upset about his death, no question about it.

What about Iqbal Kassam?

You, you mean the other guy that got shot?

Yeah, did she know him at all?

You're asking 'cause she used him the other day, aren't you?

No.

I mean yes.

Yes, we are.

Look, the car was in for a service, so Liz said she had to get a taxi to do the weekly shop.

That's all.

I mean, she could've used any taxi firm.

She just happened to use his.

(phone ringing) Sorry.

I've got to be in Nottingham later on.

I'm coaching the GB Under-19s kayak team.

Wow, that's amazing-- congrats.

Thanks-- um, I'll talk to Liz, and if she's got anything to say about that taxi journey, I'll get her to call the police.

Let them know.

SUZIE: Yeah, that'd be great.

Thanks, Danny.

Hm, see you around.

(chuckles): Bye.

BECKS: Bye!

Nice to meet you.

Well, that's a turn-up for the books.

Everything Liz told us was a lie.

She knew Stefan Dunwoody!

And she used Iqbal's taxi.

Assuming he's telling us the truth.

I wonder if there's a way to find out.

Maybe there is.

A dog walker has many keys.

But Tanika said we had to go straight back to the station... We're not going to do that, though, are we?

No.

SUZIE: I've still got Liz Curtis's number in my phone.

Could you look it up for me?

Yeah, of course.

Here's Liz's number.

Great.

All Iqbal's bookings came through this landline, so if I can see his call register... (phone button beeping) There, okay.

So Iqbal's register says that Liz Curtis called him last week, just like Danny said.

I don't understand-- why would she lie to us?

No, Judith!

You've not opened Iqbal's post, have you?

(chuckles) Well, it was just lying there.

But it's against the law!

Ah, but is it?

Yes!

So what've you got?

It's a letter from Wahab and Rahman Solicitors.

You're incorrigible.

Oh, good-- I'd hate to be corrigible.

Solicitors writing to Iqbal?

They've got hold of a copy of Iqbal's neighbor's will from the probate office.

He was a man called Ezra Harrington.

Ezra!

That's the man who died-- Luna's original owner.

They're saying that Ezra's old will left his estate to Iqbal.

Is this the reason that Iqbal thought he was going to be rich?

So why didn't he get the money?

Um, they're saying that two weeks before he died, Ezra drew up a new will that replaced the old one.

Or rather, Ezra's solicitor drew it up, a man called Giles Bishop.

He was also sole executor... Oh, hold on.

Giles Bishop was also the sole beneficiary.

What?

His solicitor inherited his whole estate?

I think we need to find out who this Giles Bishop is.

This is wrong.

DANNY (crying): I still can't believe it.

TANIKA: I can't imagine what you're going through.

Everyone liked her.

Loved her, you know.

TANIKA: Of course.

DANNY: I'm the difficult one.

The one who loses his temper.

She just got on with things.

She's a, she's a doer, you know.

I'm sorry to ask, but, um, when did you last see her?

Yesterday.

Before I left for Nottingham.

And how was she?

(sighs): I don't know.

A bit out of sorts, maybe.

In, in what way?

Distracted.

Snappy, you know?

(chuckles) I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but...

It's too late now.

Do you have any idea what was upsetting her?

DANNY: These murders really bothered her.

She's been acting strangely withdrawn.

She'd been out of the house a lot and... Wouldn't tell me what was going on.

(phone ringing with loud club music) (ringing continues) (ringing stops) (softly): Hey, Zeta.

Yeah.

(chuckles) Oh, news travels fast.

No, no, no, no, no, no, your mum's nowhere near any... Zeta!

No!

Look, there's no need for that.

You don't have to... All right, well, if you're coming home, let me know when you land, and I'll come and get you, all right?

(chuckling): I can't wait to see you.

(footsteps approaching) Yeah.

I've got to go.

(phone button beeps) Suzie.

Ah, yeah, I was just, just checking these tires.

Ooh!

They're super-fine.

This isn't a game.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

VICKY: And they've been getting results.

JUDITH: There's going to be a fourth murder.

(on phone): Promise you'll stay away from me tonight.

What?

Why?

BECKS: It's Judith-- I think she's in danger.
