[tense music playing]
-You should have told me. -[scoffs]
-That I suspected my husband? -Yeah.
Yeah. How do you even voice that, Shane?
Joe murdered my sister because she learned the truth about him.
I didn't want to believe it.
I thought it was all a big mistake.

[song ends]
He was the father of my child.
He wasn't a murderer. I did--
I hadn't shared my bed and my heart with a killer.
[brooding synth music plays]
[Joe] Maya, it's me.
It's your sister.
Something terrible's happened.
[gunshot echoes]
[Maya] She was murdered in her own home.
Can you imagine how scary that must have been?
Why would anyone kill her?
[Joe] Probably didn't mean to.
Probably didn't expect her to be in the house.
[Maya] They had nothing worth stealing.
[Joe] I don't know why, Maya.
[ominous sting]
[music continues]
[Maya] Do you miss her?
[Joe] Of course I miss her.
-Why would you even ask? -You worked with her every day.
You saw her more than I did.
You seem to have coped well.
We all deal with these things differently, Maya.
[Kierce] You own guns, don't you, Maya?
[lock trills, clunks]
[Maya] Yes. All legal and licensed, yeah.
[Kierce] Does, uh, anyone else have access to these?
No. Well, Joe used to, but…
What's that?
It's old. Deactivated.
-[Kierce] Glock 17? -Yeah.
-Is this your only handgun? -Yeah. Only one.
[ominous music playing]
[mysterious sting]
How come you wanted your fingerprint on the gun safe,
if you hate them so much?
[lock trills, clunks]
Well… with everything going on. You were away. Lily's in the house.
It was there if I needed it, that's all.
[tense music playing]
Maya, are you ready? We need to get going.
[casing clatters]
I need you to test a bullet for me.
-A bullet? -Mm.
I need you to test it against the bullet
that the police have in evidence from Claire's murder.
Where'd you get it?
I need to know if it's from the same gun that killed Claire.
[Shane sighs]
Will you check it?
I've a mate in the police I can ask.
I need to know if I'm right.
Or if I'm going crazy.
[tense, brooding music plays]
[dramatic sting]
-[slow, suspenseful music plays] -[phone rings]
[Joe] Maya?
[Maya] I need to talk to you. I know what you did.
What are you talking about?
Night night. [kisses]
[Maya] You know what I'm talking about.
I have no idea.
I know what happened, Joe.
-I need to speak to you away from Lily. -Maya.
Meet me at our spot in the park.
At nine o'clock.
I didn't want to believe it.
I thought it was all a big mistake.
But when the bullet matched…
If I could force Joe's hand, it would show me that…
I'd got it wrong.
[suspenseful music continues]
I'd switched the guns.
So, Joe took the deactivated one from the safe,
and I had the one that worked.
[tense music playing]
So, what is this, Maya?
"I know what you did."
"Meet you at the park."
What, you want to talk at home?
In front of the nanny?
Talk about what?
Why you killed Claire.
Are you going to deny it?
Are you going to look at me in the face and fucking deny it, Joe?
Yes, my darling. I'm going to deny it because it is a ridiculous accusation.
[chuckling] Are you crazy?
I know you, Joe.
I won't rest.
I will make your life hell.
Until I reveal you for what you are.
And what am I?
A killer.
[dramatic sting]
[Joe inhales deeply]
[gun clicks]
[grunts in frustration]
There was still a chance, like somehow it could be explained away.
Until he pulled the trigger.
-You'll never prove that I killed her. -No?
No.
You're right.
I wounded him with the first two shots to make it look like a robbery gone wrong.
I killed him with the third.
I covered myself in his blood so it looked like I held him while he died.
I'd seen two guys on bikes in the park.
I knew telling the police about them would divert attention away from me.
In your original statement,
you said the two masked boys appeared in the park on scramble bikes.
Yeah.
And then you said they got off the bike and attempted to grab your bag.
[Maya] Correct.
[Kierce] Who fucking paid you to kill Joe Burkett? Tell me!
[man] All right, all right, all right!
No one paid me, man. I didn't kill him.
[grunts, pants]
But I know who did.
Help! Please, somebody, please, help!
[whirs, clicks]
[dramatic music building]
-[lock trills] -[music crescendoes]
[music fades]
[suspenseful music plays]
[Shane] Out.
[Luka groans softly]
[Shane] Home's that way.
You can't leave us here.
It's my truck!
-[music fades] -[cell phone ringing]
[sighs]
-Kierce, you can't just call me. -[loudly] I need an ANPR.
You're suspended.
Fuck suspended.
Maya Burkett killed her husband.
PJ's accomplice, Rambo, witnessed it!
She's in Joe's car. We've got her one. It's a black Range Rover Evoque.
Kierce, you can't do this. Okay? You're gonna get yourself fired.
Marty, please.
No one will know.
Please, I need you to do this for me. Please!
-Kierce-- -Just get me those details.
[sighs]
[suspenseful music playing]
Okay, give me five minutes.
Okay, that's its last seen location.
What time?
Uh, 12:40. That's…
-Ten minutes ago. Thanks, Katherine. -Yeah.
[music continues]
[cell phone rings]
-[Marty] Did you get the location? -Yes, thanks.
Listen, I'm heading there myself, and I want you to stay on the phone.
I don't want you passing out, so I'm going to keep talking until we both get there.
You're a good man, but if there's anything that'll make me pass out,
it's listening to you talking.
-I'll see you when you get there. -Wh-- Ki--
-[line beeps] -Oh, fuck's sake.
[music intensifies]
[siren wailing]
Come on!
[tires screeching]
Move!
[car horn blaring]
Out of the way!
-[horn honks] -[tires squealing]
[cell phone rings]
Hello?
Marty, it's Katherine.
That ANPR, we've had a fresh update.
[line ringing]
[Kierce] Marty.
Maya is near Teeny Tiny Nursery on… Pleasance Drive.
She's picking up her kid.
-[music intensifies] -[tires squealing]
Okay.
[honking horn]
[tires squeal]
[music fades]
-[Eddie] What's going on? -Where's Maya?
-Asked me to pick Lily up. She all right? -Why have you got her car?
-Well, she asked me to swap. -Well, why would she ask that?
Because Maya said--
-She said people are looking for her. -Oh, fuck.
-I'm worried. -Do you have any idea where she might be?
-Any at all? -No.
-Hang on. No, um, my car's got a tracker. -All right, show me.
[Eddie] Um…
-Oh, she's at home. -Home?
[mysterious music plays]
[crackling]
[dramatic music plays]
You told us yesterday was the first time you laid eyes on Tommy Dark,
both dead or alive.
Yes.
Then how do you explain the fact that we found blood
in the boot of your car?
[ominous music plays]
[dramatic sting]
-You took my car? -[Joe] Yeah. Something wrong with mine.
I'll get it looked at in the morning. Just needed to run some errands.
[gentle music plays]
[ominous music plays]
[Maya] Why would you do this? Why?
[Luka] Because Mrs. Burkett, Judith, thinks you're lying about Joe's death.
Maya Burkett,
-I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder. -[groaning] What you doing?
You don't have to say anything, but anything you do say
may harm your defense.
I'll tell you everything.
-I'll explain everything. Please. -[music fades]
[Neil] Now, this is exactly what I mean when I talk about performing
while transforming.
It's about being purpose-led and performance-driven.
Burkett Pharmaceutical is doing well for investors,
and our drugs are making a difference in the world.
I hope I've made a strong start, and I appreciate your support.
-[woman] Mm. -I do not take it for granted.
-To the year ahead. -[all] To the year ahead!
[ominous music plays]
You won't tell me what it is on the phone?
Are you turning into a conspiracy theorist, Detective?
I know the truth now, and I need your help.
[Neil] Thanks for coming.
[Judith] Thank you so much. Come and see us soon again.
[Neil] Cheers.
[Judith] It was lovely to see you.
-Take care, and a safe drive home. -[Neil] Drive safe, Sven.
[Sven] Bye-bye.
-[Neil] A successful evening? -[Judith] Mm.
Your speech went down very well. I was watching their faces.
-Douglas was a bit stiff most of the time. -Mm-hmm.
You know, exactly, but it was worth it. I think it was well worth it.
-Brandy, Mama? -No, thank you, darling.
[disorienting sting]
Maya?
What on earth are you doing here, in the dark?
You wanted me to think I was going mad.
You set up that nanny cam stunt.
You told Luka and Izabella that I was involved in Joe's death.
One of your psychological experiments, was it, Judith?
[Judith chuckles]
Not at all. I'd never use my work for such a low purpose.
[chuckles]
Still looking down your nose at me.
Even now.
I've never been good enough for you, have I, Judith?
[inhales deeply]
-You think I killed your son? -[gasps]
-Maya. -[ominous music plays]
[Maya] Well?
Do you?
Yes, I do.
So, you thought you'd mess with my head?
Make me misstep, then nail me for Joe's murder?
The nanny cam.
[clip clatters]
The missing clothes.
Phone calls.
Caroline feeding me lies about the detective being on your payroll.
I didn't know that wasn't true.
Not for certain, anyway.
-You're just as bad as them, Caroline. -[music fades]
Why are you here, Maya?
So, you set me up,
hoping I'd crack.
Answer me this, Judith.
What made you think I killed Joe?
I just knew.
-A mother knows. -Bullshit.
Well?
Did you kill him?
You knew because I had a motive.
Right?
Joe killed my sister.
-That's nonsense. -[Maya] Joe killed Claire.
-You might not want to face that, Neil. -I don't have to listen to this shit.
Joe killed Claire and your mother knew.
-Don't listen to her. -[Neil] No.
-Claire knew about your corruption. -Claire stole from us.
That woman was poison.
It runs in the family. She was trying to destroy our business.
Because she discovered that you've been falsifying trial results,
putting dangerous drugs on the market, making people more unwell.
But Joe stopped her,
tortured her,
murdered her.
[shudders, gasps]
[Maya] Can you imagine what Claire's kids went through?
Her husband?
What I went through? All to protect your dangerous, corrupt company.
[Judith] Joe panicked, Caroline.
Claire wouldn't tell him what he needed to know, wouldn't give stolen documents.
Your sister started this.
She attacked this family.
And you should know better than anyone,
when an enemy attacks… you have the right to defend yourself.
-She was my sister, you evil fuck! -All right, that's enough.
-[Maya] Is it, Neil? -Yes.
Is it? Because I don't think it's nearly enough.
You don't get it, do you?
Joe killed people.
It wasn't just Claire.
There were others.
Christopher Swain told me all about Theo Mora, at his school.
-Mama… -There's no proof of that.
Also Tommy Dark.
Oh, and let's not forget…
his own brother.
[ominous sting]
Andrew?
Andrew committed suicide.
-[Maya] Lies! Lies! -As you well know.
[Maya] That's what Claire found out. That's why Joe had to kill her.
Joe pushed Andrew off the yacht to save himself.
That is not true!
Those are lies. Vicious lies.
Christopher Swain told me,
after Theo's death, Andrew couldn't handle it.
[scoffs]
He wanted to hand himself in.
He told the others on the yacht, but Joe wouldn't allow it.
That's nonsense. It's complete fiction. Andrew jumped.
Joe killed Andrew and killed Claire.
How many more, Judith?
You raised a murderer.
And you married one, then killed him.
Shot him dead in cold blood,
like you were back in that godforsaken country.
-Admit it. -Yes!
I killed Joe.
-[ominous music plays] -I killed the man that killed my sister.
I wasn't going to let that monster bring up my child.
[Judith] Well, now it's all going to come out, isn't it?
-Three witnesses? -[tense music plays]
I'll be happy to see you spend the rest of your life behind bars.
Well, that's fine. Because you know what else will come out?
Your lies.
Your drug trials. And then all this…
will be gone.
It's over, Judith.
Nobody will believe you.
Oh, trust me, the world's finding out.
You're finished.
-What proof? -She's lying.
-What proof? -You think money protects you.
You think money makes everything go away, and this bubble that you live in,
where you just click your fingers, and you get what you want.
Maya, you want justice for your sister.
Okay.
You've got it.
Joe is dead. Nothing else to be done.
You don't want to go to prison.
We don't want to be tarnished by scandal. So…
why don't we… make an agreement?
An agreement?
We blame Joe.
We put the problems of the drug trial on Joe,
and then suggest that that's what led to his murder.
Clean slate.
Nobody needs to know the truth.
And maybe, Maya…
maybe there are times that I question my parenting.
The way I-- I brought him up to be superior, but…
Joe's gone now, and Andrew.
There's no sense in ruining more lives.
Think of Lily.
[music softens]
It's the logical solution to all this. Don't you think?
No.
It's too late.
[Neil] She's right. Much too late for deals.
She broke into our house, admitted killing our brother, and threatened to kill us.
You heard her. We're in fear of our lives.
-You killed my brother. -[chuckles]
-You're nothing. You won't destroy us. -You are a weak, pathetic man.
You don't have the guts to fire. You're too scared.
Put the gun down.
-[tense music building] -I sw--
-[gun fires] -[groans]
[Caroline] Oh my God! What have you done?
Oh my God! Oh my God!
-[Caroline sobbing] -[softly] It's over.
[ominous music playing]
Yeah.
[bullet casings clatter]
[sobbing] Oh my God! Oh my God!
What were you thinking?
Oh my God.
My God.
[dramatic music plays]
Oh my God.
[Kierce] No! No, no!
-She's dead! No! -[gasps]
[Kierce] No! They murdered her!
In front of the whole fucking world!
[comments chiming]
Fuck.
[music intensifies]
Judith, Neil, and Caroline Burkett have been taken into police custody.
[reporters overlapping]
Millions watched the livestream globally
in which Maya Stern was shot by Neil Burkett,
CEO of Burkett Global Enterprises.
[music fading]
[panting]
[grunts, whimpering]
I should have… I should have…
I should have gone with her.
I shouldn't… I shouldn't have left her.
[gentle music plays]
She knew what she was doing.
She put that gun down on purpose.
Kierce, Maya must have planned this.
She-- She killed Joe. She killed all of those civilians.
She-- She knew that there was only one way for this to end.
[music intensifies]
[muffled helicopter blades whirring]
-[gunfire] -[people screaming]
[helicopter departing]
[music fading]
Just go straight and then turn right. That's where you'll find ward E.
[Eddie] Hey.
-[Kierce] Oh, hello. -I assume you're, uh…
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I couldn't be happier for her.
-You must be completely… -Oh, I couldn't be prouder.
-Yeah. -[chuckling] Yeah.
[Kierce sighs happily]
-You're looking well. -Thanks. Yeah, so are you.
And I'm not just saying it because you said it first.
Genuinely, you look great.
-Yeah. -[both chuckle]
-So, how's your boy? -Yeah, he's a-- he's a man now.
-Taller than I am and… -What?
Yeah, all the clichés are true.
Time just… flies, doesn't it?
Doesn't it, yeah? Yeah.
How are your two?
Yeah, both good. Abby has two of her own. They're coming to see Lily later.
You know, it's-- it's good, Eddie, that you've been there for her.
-You know, for Lily. -Oh.
No, it's been-- it's been a privilege watching Lily grow up. She's, um…
[smacks lips]
Yeah, she's just like her mum.
Strong.
No, bossy.
[both chuckle]
You know, it, uh, seems like, uh,
a lifetime ago, and…
-And yet, it's… -Like yesterday.
[tense music plays]
[dramatic music plays]
[softly] Yeah.
Come on.
If I go to prison, then fine.
But I just want to show the world what those bastards did.
I want to out them for what they are.
There's something I need to tell you about…
what's happening to me. I, um…
I thought I was dying. I'm blacking out…
and I went for tests.
They were… worried I had…
neurological problems.
But it was their medication.
The Burkett medication.
Blackouts and…
hallucinations, and it was so bad, I actually went to…
the edge of a bridge and…
almost, uh…
And all that time…
those bastards were covering it up.
Yeah.
-It's all right. -[sobs]
-[sniffles] -Hey, look.
-Look. Hey. -[sniffles, shudders]
I'll help you.
[sobs]
[gentle music plays]
-Are you okay? -Mm.
-Thank you. Thank you. -Yeah.
Look who I found.
-Oh, thanks. -Kierce.
-Hey! -[Kierce] Hello!
-Yeah. -Good to see you.
-Good to see you. Congratulations. -Thanks.
[Kierce] Ah, Lily, look at her.
Oh my God.
-[Lily chuckles] -Hey? She's beautiful.
-Do you want to hold her? -No, no, no. Not me. [laughs]
-I'll probably drop her. -You'll be fine.
[Kierce] Oh, all right. Come on.
-Oh, it's been a long time. Oh… -Good girl.
-I got you. I got you. -[baby cooing]
-Oh… -[baby cries]
-Shh, shh, shh. -[baby cooing]
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Look at her little face.
[Kierce chuckles]
Oh.
[softly] Hello, you.
-Have you thought of a name yet? -Yeah.
We're calling her Maya.
[gentle, ethereal music plays]
[clicks tongue] Aw…
Hello, Maya.
