Previously on The Killing Kind...
I am trying to work out who killed Belinda
and who's trying to hurt me.
You were her favourite judge.
What an awful tragedy.
How d'you find out where I live?
- Happy birthday, Mark. - You need to get a grip.
And, to be frank, you haven't been the same since the fire.
The fire wasn't my fault,
but if I hadn't messed everything up,
then it wouldn't have happened.
Flora would still be alive.
Are you looking to buy?
The only thing that would put me off,
that poor girl dying here in the fire.
I am being targeted by someone.
If someone has broken into your flat,
it is most likely John Webster
and Belinda's death's a different matter.
It is most likely an accident.
I want to interview your witness.
That woman was pushed.
I hate that you're still so wary of me.
Ah.
Why was Webster there, Ingrid?
Do you understand that he was the one
that pulled me out of the way of the car?
He is still a suspect for the break-in.
Who was driving the car?
That needs to be your main concern,
because it obviously wasn't Webster, was it?
Now, whoever it was,
I mean, they must know where I live because
they must have followed me home, right?
I just don't understand why you're still engaging with him.
He took me to see the witness who saw Belinda's death.
This witness saw Belinda was pushed.
His name is Mr. Wilson.
You need to find him.
Yes, okay, okay. We, we will look into it,
but there's to be no more contact between you and Webster.
Do you understand?
Ingrid?
*CREDITS*
_
- You are wasted. - I'm fantastic.
- _ - You are absolutely wasted.
Okay, what, here?
- Yeah, yeah, just here. - Okay.
Okay, mm, beautiful.
But this weekend is about you
and about you relaxing
after everything that's happened.
It's just so nice to see you smiling, yeah?
- You know what? - Mm?
I'm really...
really happy, okay?
- Yeah. - What?
When we get back to London,
I want you to go to the police
with everything that's been happening with John Webster.
I've been crystal clear with him.
If he contacts either of us again, I will report him,
but it is pointless going to the police with this.
I've told you this.
It's a waste of time.
Okay, I just don't understand.
Oh, I don't wanna spend our time talking about him.
Ingrid, you don't really think
I could be involved in Belinda's death?
Whatever makes you question your sanity
is the MO of John Webster.
Is Mr. Mark Orpen your ex-fiancee?
Have you any idea why he might have called Belinda
a few hours before she died?
Didn't take Nash long to turn up, did it?
Well, he's just doing his job.
Is he?
I'm the only other person
that believes Belinda's death wasn't an accident.
Webster is twisted.
Don't let him get to you again.
_
What are you doing here?
- This is my house. - It is your mum's house.
You have absolutely no right to be here.
I needed somewhere to prep for court.
What?
So, you just thought you'd come all the way out here?
My head's just been all over the place since Belinda died.
What are you doing here?
You didn't like coming here when we were together?
Well, it's hard living with my mum.
I needed a break, we both did.
Okay, well, I'll leave. I'll go get a hotel.
Where are you gonna go, the Premier Inn?
Yeah, well, their pillows are actually really comfortable, so maybe I will.
Ingrid, stop.
You're here now, just, just pick one of the spare rooms.
See you in the morning.
_
We shouldn't be speaking.
I had a visit from my friend Nash, this morning.
Good.
How are we gonna find out
who tried to run you over, last night?
You could have been killed.
Detective Sergeant Nash is handling the investigation.
If you're so confident about that
you wouldn't have vanished to Wales.
Are you here?
If you needed somewhere to stay,
you should have just asked me.
I have empty properties, you know this.
I think you've helped me enough.
You need to question everyone around you,
including Mark.
Mark has nothing to do with any of this.
Maybe, but don't you think the timing of his return
is a bit strange?
You know, he's a good liar.
Just ask Flora Pole's parents.
Look, just don't assume you're safe there with him.
_
Do you have any idea why Flora Pole was in your house
on the night of the fire?
- No. - Why did she have a key?
Er, she would have to let herself in from time to time.
She was my PA.
Mr. Orpen, we're happy to continue this conversation
with you down at the station.
Well, he's fine because this is just a witness statement.
Correct?
I want Ingrid here.
Mr. Orpen, can you confirm whether or not
you had a sexual relationship with Flora Pole?
We had slept together, yes.
I am sorry, I'm so sorry...
Stop it, stop saying you're sorry.
I hear people saying they're sorry all day long
and it doesn't mean anything. It's meaningless.
I genuinely mean it, I genuinely mean that I'm sorry.
You had just been so preoccupied
with everything that had happened,
been happening with John Webster.
Yeah, yeah, I was having a great time
being harassed, wasn't I?
Don't do that.
You know I didn't mean it like that.
I don't know what Flora was doing in our bed.
She was 23.
She was 23, right?
And you were her boss and she was in awe of you.
And you had had sex previously.
So, I think we probably can conjecture
what might have brought her to our bedroom.
I didn't invite her.
I have a question about Flora.
Do you blame me for her death?
What? No, why would I?
Because if I hadn't opened the door
then the fire wouldn't have had enough oxygen to kill her.
It would've been different.
- Ingrid, you can't think like that. - I do.
You're telling me you don't?
It was an accident.
She brought the candles, she got drunk, she fell asleep.
It's neither of our faults.
It still doesn't make total sense though, does it?
I always felt like we were missing something.
It's in the past.
I'm trying really hard to keep it there.
I think you should too.
You know what?
I've got marshmallows.
They're in the car, I'm gonna go and get them.
Okay.
Ingrid!
What's going on?
I just got a phone call from a Detective Sergeant Nash.
Why was he calling you?
He said you were in a car accident
and that someone tried to run you over.
Did he ask you where you were last night?
He seemed pretty concerned about you being threatened.
Is it him?
Is it Webster?
Have you told the police about him?
Yeah, I've told them everything.
You should have reported him, last year,
- like I told you to. - Yes, I know.
You made your feelings very clear about it last time.
Well, I was right, wasn't I?
And now he's back just like I said he would be...
Okay, I don't need you lecturing me, Mark.
I'm just worried about you, Ingrid.
It's not your job to worry about me anymore.
You resigned from that position when you fucked your PA.
He's dangerous, Ingrid.
What's wrong with you?
He's a psychopath!
The fire, was it you?
Are you being serious, Ingrid?
What are you doing here?
Checking in on you.
How you doing?
Is there an update?
Yeah.
We have identified a witness who saw the car
try to run into you.
- And we know the car was rented. - Okay, by who?
Under a false name.
We've got some leads.
We need to get you in for an E-FIT session.
I told you, I didn't get a good enough look at them.
But we need all the information we can get.
I have given you as much information as I can.
I have collated everything.
I have logged every incident.
Did you talk to DI Winstanley?
We are sharing information.
Listen, I'm doing everything that I can.
Why did you call Mark last night?
Just being thorough.
And what have you found out about Webster?
That everything he says stands up.
That there's no forensics linking him to the break-in.
And he technically saved you from the car attack.
So do you think he's involved or not?
I think you need to follow my advice
and stay away from Webster.
You didn't answer my question.
Where is Webster living?
Where is he working?
What has he been up to these past few days?
Did he follow me to Wales?
I would feel a lot safer knowing those facts.
There's no legal justification
to be surveilling Webster at this stage, as you must know.
There we go.
And that's why I have no faith in this process.
Believe me, I want to be able to do more,
but my job's got rules.
Okay, well, I have to go do my job now.
_
Do you have two minutes?
Yeah, I was just about to come and see you actually.
Hi.
We've had several calls
about your last-minute absences this week.
Thomas had to do a lot of reassuring.
Well, there have been extenuating circumstances.
I'm aware of that, but I'm concerned about you.
Me?
Angus, I think you've got enough to worry about.
This is difficult, Ingrid, but as Head of Chambers,
I need to remind you of your professional obligations.
You can't just disappear to Wales.
How do you know where I went?
We know about what's been going on,
the attempted hit-and-run,
and now the police have been in touch asking questions.
And are there any updates on Belinda?
Perhaps you should just take the pressure off yourself.
Take some time.
I understand what you're saying,
and I will make sure
it doesn't affect my work going forward.
I really will.
I'd rather be here than at home.
Okay.
Thank you.
I should get on with this.
Yep.
Look, I'm sorry I told him, all right?
They were worried about you.
Can you cancel all my meetings again today?
I need your help with something.
I need to find the legal owner of a property.
It's probably under a business name.
It's for a case.
Can could you do a title search for me, please?
Thank you.
Ingrid, I've found it.
Took me a while.
Holding company's called Circle Portfolios.
Thanks, Tom.
Please take care whilst on the station.
Please mind the gap between the train
and the platform.
This train is...
Are you looking to buy?
I am flattered, of course,
but you don't need to spy on me.
What were you doing in my old house?
You've obviously got questions.
Yeah, what were you doing in my house?
Are you buying it?
I've been trying to help you.
I'm still waiting for an answer.
Daniel Pole. Flora's dad.
What about him?
I followed you to the house on the open day.
You didn't see that Daniel Pole was there.
I watched him grilling the estate agent.
I couldn't hear everything he was saying, but he was angry.
So I contacted the agent,
said I was interested in buying the property,
buttered her up, and I had a viewing.
And she told me what Pole wanted.
You.
He wanted them to tell him your address,
how much money you were making from the sale,
how outrageous it was that you got to make money
from his daughter's death.
He told the estate agent that it wasn't just an accident.
Daniel Pole blames you for Flora's death.
When did Belinda die?
It was the 3rd of October.
Same as Flora's birthday.
I mean, it could be just a coincidence, right?
When you approached the bedroom,
- who did you believe was inside? - _
I thought Mark was.
Can you clarify what happened
when you opened the bedroom door?
The flames got bigger.
I had no idea that me opening the door
would make the flames worse.
Did the candles that Flora lit belong to you?
No.
She must have brought them.
I think she came uninvited
in the hope of having sex with my fiance.
Ms. Lewis, may I remind you,
we are here at this inquest
to establish facts, not conjecture.
The fact is that she shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Why can't you let our daughter rest in peace?
Haven't you done enough?
- You killed her. - Quiet, please!
I don't want you here.
I just want to talk.
- No, thank you. - Please.
I need to check on my wife. Wait here.
I wondered if you'd ever have the decency to come and see us.
Can't believe it's been a year.
The longest of our lives.
Did you do anything on Flora's birthday?
We went to her favourite restaurant
with some of her friends.
First time we'd been out since it happened.
My wife's not exactly mobile anymore.
Was Flora your only child?
Yes. We struggled to have her.
Our miracle baby.
I'm truly sorry for what happened to Flora.
I wish I hadn't rushed in there,
but it was an accident,
just like the coroner concluded.
I really didn't come here to bring you any more pain.
Why did you come then?
You've had a whole year.
Because if I was in your position,
I'd want someone to blame for it.
The only thing we know is that
if our daughter hadn't worked for Mark,
she'd still be here.
Will you tell him to stop sending cards?
What cards?
We don't want anything from him.
_
Can I take these, please?
- Oh, please. - Thank you.
I'll see you out.
Thank you for talking to me.
If there's anyone I blame, it's Mark.
He's the only reason my daughter was there that night
and then he lied about it.
Mark made mistakes, but he did own up to them.
He told the coroner he had no idea
why Flora went there that night.
- He didn't. - She was living with us.
We were there when she left.
She got a message from Mark.
She told us she was gonna see her boss.
The police checked both of our phones and Flora's
and there was nothing from that night.
I believe my daughter.
She wasn't delusional.
I didn't invite her, Ingrid.
I didn't invite her.
You shouldn't have gone to their house.
It's in the past.
Am I an awful person?
You need to stop running your own investigation.
You always say police aren't lawyers.
Lawyers aren't police
Sorry.
DS Nash, your prayers have been answered.
Hello?
Yeah, absolutely.
I can come in first thing tomorrow morning.
Okay, thanks.
There's been an update.
So what's happened?
Detective Sergeant Nash has shared everything that you put together
and we have spoken to Mr. Gregory Wilson,
an eyewitness to the incident involving Belinda Gray.
It wasn't an accident.
I was right, wasn't I?
New evidence has come to light
that suggests Belinda might have been followed
the day she died.
What evidence?
CCTV of her arrival at the karaoke bar where she met you.
Someone appears to have been tracking her movements.
So whoever's doing this, they wanted Belinda.
They didn't mistake her for me.
There's no image of the face.
They're clever enough to steer clear.
And it doesn't look like Webster.
Different height, gait.
If someone is targeting both you and Belinda,
potentially your work is the common factor.
Did you work on cases together?
Yeah, I was her pupil.
She led me on several cases.
Right, we're gonna need details of those to review.
DS Nash has discussed your safety
and measures to take, I believe.
And I strongly recommend you don't disappear
on us again anytime soon.
_
Tom.
When did Belinda get this?
- That's some sort of thank you from a client. - When?
About a week before she died, why?
Did anyone else in Chambers get one?
Not as far as I know.
I need you to email everyone to see if they received it.
And I need you to send me the documentation
from all the cases Belinda and I worked on together.
I'm working on that for the police.
No, I need it right now. Okay?
- DI Winstanley. - Hi, it's Ingrid Lewis.
I just found something in Belinda's office.
It's a postcard.
It is exactly the same as the one
that was given to me at her memorial.
- Okay. - With the umbrella.
Hand it over. We'll get to it.
No, no, this is urgent.
We need to find out if anyone else has got one of these.
It's a message. I know it is.
This is an investigation
and the postcard could be evidence.
We need to follow process.
Hi, I'm just wondering if you've had any gifts sent to your home address?
Okay, thanks for your time. Bye.
Hi, I'm just wondering if you've had a thank you note
or postcard sent your home address.
I'm just trying to figure out who sent it.
Thank you for your time.
It's a distinctive red and blue card.
No? Doesn't ring any bells?
Okay, thank you.
Rock back. Come back in with the right.
Take the vision.
Again.
Sorry, one second.
- Who is this? - Hi, Ingrid, it's Peter Stuart.
Peter, thank you for calling me back.
I realise it was an unusual message.
Indeed, but as it would happen,
my wife tells me I did receive a postcard
like that last week.
Did it have anything written on it?
I'm not sure. Helen opens my post.
Why are you interested in the card?
Have the police been in touch?
No. Why?
Do you mind if I come over? I can explain better in person.
Well, I'm at home this afternoon
if you'd like to pop by.
Okay, great. I will see you soon.
Uxbridge Close, Richmond, please.
Hello?
Judge Stuart? It's Ingrid.
Peter?
