I still have the equipment.
Much appreciated.

You're also trespassing,
and I have an actual job to do.
We know your secret, Plain Jane.
Yeah.
Tatiana.
I-I heard her last night.
She called you Plain Jane.
Ah, the photographer.
So what?
-It doesn't mean anything.
-Doesn't it?
Because we think
she finally realised
that you were her troll,
Plain Jane Knows.
This is stupid.
You need to leave.
Just answer our questions,
and we won't
we won't take this to the police.
She had connected the dots.
We had an argument. End of.
And you got rid of her because
she threatened to expose you.
You think I killed her
because of some crap
I said on Instagram?
What you said was pretty nasty.
It was criminal
I was angry, okay?
She took the piss.
Just because
she was Simon's favourite,
she thought she could
literally fuck around.
-What?
-Yeah, I caught her once
doing it with Bingo.
That's what you meant last night,
that you could tell Alice
at any point about the affair
and get Tatiana fired?
No point.
Alice already told her dad
to fire her multiple times
when she worked here,
but he wouldn't.
So Alice knew about the affair,
but she married Bingo, anyway?
Lina:
You'd have to ask her.
Maybe she hated how much
her dad
clearly preferred Tatiana.

I-I-I have an alibi
I was in an Uber,
going home when it happened.

to call me back on this number,
that would be brilliant.
Thank you.

this changes everything, right?

then Bingo had no motive
to kill Tatiana.

Alice might have known about
the affair but not told Bingo,

It's hardly snooping.
Look, hear me out.
She found out about the affair,

her love rival, Tatiana.
Absolutely not.
Why?
Because she was genuinely stunned
to think
they could be hooking up.

-No, she's definitely a suspect.
Why?
Why would she ruin her life?
She'd just married Bingo.

she has none of that.

before the party,

they could be hooking up.
