- What do you mean Jamie's missing? - Missing, Pip.
You're supposed to be good with words. Gone, disappeared, vanished. Poof.
- Pick one! - Okay, calm down!
He didn't come home last night. His bed wasn't slept in.
- Maybe he just stayed at a friend's. - Jamie doesn't have any friends. Not…
Not really. Anyway, look.
I got up about 12:40 to pee.
I drank too much cranberry juice. I read it's good for the skin. Don't ask!
- I'm not. - Anyway, his door was open.
I checked on him, like he checks on me sometimes.
He wasn't in there.
I wasn't worried yet, but I sent him a message.
The text never went through.
- Maybe his phone's out of battery. - Jamie's phone is always on.
He carries a portable charger everywhere with him.
Honestly, it's a little weird. It's like one for teenage girls.
Connor.
Point is…
I think something's happened to him.
I need your help.
Connor, no.
Pip, please.
It's almost been 24 hours.
I can't.
Not after what happened last time.
I wouldn't ask if I didn't think this was serious.
No. I can't.
When did you last see him?
At the memorial.
He didn't even say goodbye.
- What does your mum think? - You know what she's like.
She's not worried. I don't think I've ever seen her worried.
She said Jamie used to go off all the time without telling us,
when he was in the band.
Okay, so…?
He's not in the band anymore, Pip. It's been almost a year.
And he's not been himself recently.
I promise you something's wrong.
- Okay, I'll go talk to the police. - Not the police.
- Why not? - They'll just say he's an adult.
- That he's not been gone for long enough. - Maybe.
But I think they'll listen to me.
DI Hawkins owes me one after last year.
I saw Jamie at the memorial, just before the speeches, around 8:00 p.m.
So… now you're the last person to have seen him.
I was the last person to see Jamie Reynolds at the memorial.
Max was nearby, and Jamie's given evidence in Max's trial.
And then he goes missing two days before the trial starts.
- Isn't that a bit of a coincidence? - I don't understand.
You think Max has done what, exactly?
I don't know.
But I know Max Hastings would do anything not to face up to what he's done.
Even try to stop Jamie from testifying.
Have you any evidence for this?
What evidence do you have that we're talking right now?
It's your word against mine.
You are not to have any contact with the Hastings family.
Not while the trial is ongoing.
Okay, fine. Forget about Max then.
- Open a missing persons case. - I'm sorry.
We just don't have the time to look into every single person reported missing.
- So prioritize Jamie. - He's an adult, Pip.
I saw him at the memorial, and I know something wasn't right.
Please, I'm begging you. Don't make me do this again.
I can't do this again.
There's nothing more I can do right now.
My hands are tied.
- I think you're right. - About what?
About Max Hastings.
- What do you mean? - Da Silva, is that you?
I need to speak to you.
But why would you say no? This is who you are, Pip.
No.
I can't be that person again.
I got too obsessed.
Almost lost myself.
I hurt the people I care about.
- Ruined their lives. - What are you talking about?
- Cara. - She doesn't think that.
Why are you like this?
Why couldn't you just leave everything alone?
This is all your fault!
You didn't ruin my life. You cleared Sal's name.
No one looked for him until it was too late.
What if you do nothing, and something happens to Jamie?
I don't know what to do.
I think you do.
I'll do it.
All the good girls go to hell
'Cause even God herself
Has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And heaven's out of sight
She'll want the devil on her team
My Lucifer is lonely
I've been texting you.
Sorry.
Worst hangover yesterday.
Are you okay? Should we talk about what happened?
Oh God, what happened?
- I can't remember anything. - Anything?
I assumed I was sick.
Mouth tasted like arse.
Connor's asked me to look into Jamie's disappearance.
Well, I hope Connor's ready.
For what?
For what you might find.
No one was ready last time.
We're meeting in the square in half an hour to put up posters.
- Coming? - Of course.
How do I smell?
Mm. Still a hint of gin.
Ugh.
Gosh, okay. A lot of gin.
- Get out of your pajamas. - All right, Mum.
Have you told Connor what you're thinking?
About Max?
How can I without explaining that Jamie's a witness in the trial?
He's due in court in two days, isn't he?
- He doesn't want anyone to know. - Have you slept?
- Not much. - Breakfast?
Coffee.
Which is why I came prepared.
Eat this, madam. Nicely warmed by my arse heat.
Right now, Max is our only lead.
First thing is track his movements on Friday night.
Jamie was last seen at the memorial by you around 8:00 p.m.
And then his phone went dead sometime before 12:45.
So that's our window.
I know that Max had a family dinner, but what time did he leave?
- And where did he go after? - How do you know he was at a dinner?
Someone must have told me.
Lauren, maybe.
The Hastings family are off-limits. Who do you ask?
Not all the Hastings family.
Thank you. You look nice.
I brought some muscles.
Pippa!
She was off her face at the Calamity.
I know. I picked her up.
You were there.
Why weren't you looking after her?
Too busy "hanging" with Robin?
I mean…
Look at him.
I just want someone who's nice to me.
And who worships the ground I walk on, obviously.
You've got Ravi.
I'm sorry.
- I'll give Robin a chance. - He's an old soul.
Sure.
It's really good that you're doing this. I'm sure it will help.
Okay. You two take the roads near school.
You and Connor have the square, and…
you're with me.
Pip should have photoshopped Jamie some hair.
I mean, no one cares about a guy with a mental breakdown buzz cut.
You don't have to do this, you know. Make jokes, brush it off.
It's okay, Con. I know you're worried.
Ah, it's just, what if I, uh, never see him again?
You know, he's my brother.
I'm… sorry, Ravi. I didn't…
It's okay. This time we'll have a different ending.
What do you mean?
We're going to find Jamie. I promise.
I heard you had family dinner on Friday night.
Before the Calamity.
Yeah, it was my mum's birthday.
And…
Max was there?
Yeah, he's family, so…
What time did he leave?
Uh… around 11:30, I think. The same…
Did he tell you where he was going?
Why do you care?
Look.
We can both help each other out here.
You tell me what I want to know. I'll tell Lauren you're a good guy.
- Lauren doesn't think I'm a good guy? - I mean, your cousin is a serial rapist.
So…
No, he's not. He's innocent until proven guilty.
If he's so innocent, what's the harm in telling me where he was?
It's just something I need to clear up about Jamie.
I… I thought you wanted to help.
- I don't even know where he went. - You could find out. Give him a call?
And say what?
How about you told your mum you were with him,
not at the Calamity party?
Ask him where he was, so he can be your alibi.
How's this gonna help with finding Jamie?
I'll explain after.
How about…
I make us a big brunch, and then we can go on a run?
Just a normal Sunday.
- I already went. - Without me?
I woke up early.
Look, now that your dad's not here,
it's okay for you to be nervous about tomorrow.
But trust me, the jury will see who you really are.
And I'll tell them too, as your character witness.
It's fine, Mum. I've just got to get through it.
Tell you what.
When this trial is over,
why don't we go to that fancy French restaurant you like, mm?
- Hi, Robin. - Hey. How are you?
All good, what's up?
Can I ask you, where'd you go Friday night after dinner?
Why do you want to know that?
Uh, so, my mum, um…
Er, uh, well, basically, it's…
- Um, well-- well, actually it's, um, just… - Hey, Pip, we're out of posters.
Actually… Er, when was I…
- Yeah, uh, right. - Um…
Let me think. Friday night.
Oh, yeah, I remember.
I headed to the golf club to have a drink. Stayed there till pretty late.
Oh. Mum's calling me. Got to go.
I was not calling you.
Stop using your poor mum as an excuse.
Hey, it's me.
We have a problem.
You two friends yet?
Oh, definitely. This one's a catch.
Okay, so…
Max said he was drinking at the golf club on Friday night.
Alone?
I guess we better find out.
Isn't your dad a member of the golf club?
You've got to read the green.
What are you doing?
Touching grass. Isn't that what you kids say?
Where you've been, pickle?
Nowhere.
You're always nowhere. Heh.
None of the bar staff were working on Friday evening.
I asked if I could see the CCTV footage, and they said no.
- "Data Protection Act!" - Mm. That was weirdly hot.
Mm!
Ravi, you're on.
And remember, this is your first time. So no pressure, no judgment.
That's beginner's luck.
Did you find out where the security office is?
- Yeah, but there's a security guard there. - Hey!
Will you be careful with that blunt weapon?
I know what to do.
Pip, your turn.
That's it. We're not playing anymore.
Okay.
You keep watch. Warn me if someone's coming.
I seem to remember this not working last time, Sarge.
Stanley?
Stanley!
Stanley? I'm talking to you.
- Sorry, sir, I didn't hear you. - Where are you going?
My break? I didn't get lunch. I was busy doing something for the boss.
Oh, yeah? As if he'd ask you. You're just a kid.
- I'm almost 30. - In case you've forgotten, I am the boss.
- Get back in there! - Sorry, it won't happen again.
Bloody hell. Fuckin' waste of space.
You ready?
- Not really. - Well, tough.
Hi.
I'm so sorry to disturb you.
I'm Pip.
My boyfriend and I were just on the ninth hole
and witnessed some teenagers behaving… anti-socially.
- Anti-socially? - I'm afraid so.
There was alcohol involved and…
Twerking?
Uh… It's just I'm not supposed to leave this office unattended.
Even if there's a gang of teenagers terrorizing guests?
- A gang? - Well, it was kind of a gang, wasn't it?
- Yeah, definitely a gang. - Yeah.
They were using golf clubs as weapons.
I'll have to come back.
Oh, thank you so much, Stanley.
How do you know my name?
- Right. - Better hurry.
I recognize him.
Lives a few streets from me. Used to walk to school--
Will you pay attention?
Wait at the end of the hall. Let me know when he comes back.
Yes, Sarge.
Friday the 18th…
Let's see if you were really here, Max.
Ugh.
Come on.
Ravi?
Ravi Singh.
Mr. Hargreaves.
Nigel. We're off duty. Call me Nigel.
Yes, of course. Mr Nigel.
Oh, come on.
Come on.
- I didn't know you were a golf man. - Uh, well, you know, it's a new thing.
Great news. Come, the boys from work are here.
I can't right now. I'm waiting for someone.
Yes.
Come on, now. We won't be long.
I want you to tell Klein your theory about the mobile phone towers.
He'll be very impressed.
Klein thinks that what's worse is…
Well, Stanley's here, but no Max.
Fuck!
What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here.
- I'm sorry. I'll go. - I can't let you leave.
I'm supposed to call the owners if there are incidents.
- They'll probably want the police called. - Police? No.
It's just…
Well, I guess the only reason I'm in here is 'cause you left your office unattended.
I wonder what your boss would say about that.
I really need this job.
How about you keep my secret? I'll keep yours.
You are the worst lookout ever.
Sorry. I didn't know the whole law firm plays golf.
- You could have just said you were busy. - I did.
I didn't want to be rude. I don't want to get fired.
You're right.
It's not your fault.
That was fun. Reminded me of the old us.
What?
Just a bit illegal?
I want to say that thing I said in my speech, I really meant it.
Yeah, I know.
I can't believe Max wasn't lying about having an alibi.
I just wasted four hours on a hunch.
- It's okay, Pip. - No, it's not.
Every minute counts in a missing person's case.
I have to go back to Connor's and start over.
He's going to be so mad that I didn't tell him.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because Jamie didn't want anyone knowing he was a witness.
It doesn't matter now.
Max has an alibi, so I was wrong.
I'm sorry, Con.
Did you, uh, score some birdies at least? Some… Some bogeys?
Hey.
Someone will know where Jamie is, okay?
The missing posters will help.
We need to do more.
Yeah, we will.
The podcast. I've been thinking about it.
Everyone in town's listened to it.
If we tell them about Jamie, maybe they'll be able to help.
Let's do it.
Yeah, I've been thinking the same.
But, Connor,
you need to be prepared.
When you start asking questions about someone close to you,
sometimes you get answers you didn't want to find.
Con?
I'm just… worried.
If Jamie's done something bad, what if I get him in trouble?
What do you mean, if he's done something bad?
Connor, Jamie's been gone 48 hours.
If you know something that could help…
Last week,
I caught him going through my mum's purse, trying to steal her credit card.
Is that why you didn't want me going to the police?
I grabbed it off him.
Then he yelled at me. Jamie never yells.
He told me he needed the money, and then he said something else. He…
Connor?
He… He said it was life or death.
- What could he mean by that? - I don't know.
But I can find out.
Okay.
We need to get into this. It'll have everything.
His social media, his recent internet searches.
- Any idea what the password could be? - No.
First pet?
Peter… Pan?
Mum's maiden name?
Murphy?
Hm…
Keep trying.
Street names, birthdays, all that stuff.
- Won't it lock me out? - No, it's Windows.
You get as many goes as you like.
Were Jamie and Nat still close after school?
Yeah, they're friends.
Just friends?
Jamie'd never admit it,
but I think he's been secretly in love with her for years.
You should see the way he looks at her.
Same way Ravi looks at you.
Anyway, she's got this new boyfriend now, and Jamie said he's loaded.
Yet another reason not to like him.
Give me a hand searching.
Con,
speaking of Ravi, his speech at the memorial,
did he… say anything about me?
- You were there, weren't you? - Yeah, of course I was, I just…
- I think I might have missed something. - It was nice.
He said he couldn't have done it without you.
Look at this.
A gift, maybe?
For who?
Pip.
What the hell does that mean? Is this Jamie's handwriting?
- Mm-hm. - Is it recent?
It was at the top of the bin, under a crisp packet.
Who's Hillary Weiseman?
Do you think Hillary knows where Jamie is?
Definitely not.
There was a Hillary Weiseman who lived here, but she died.
Sixty years ago.
On Friday, 18th of April,
Jamie Reynolds attended a memorial for Andie Bell and Sal Singh.
That was the last time he was seen alive and well.
By me.
That's where our story begins.
Welcome to Season Two of A Good Girl's Guide To Murder.
"The Disappearance of Jamie Reynolds."
By 12:45, Jamie's phone was unresponsive and hasn't been turned on since.
Is it just a coincidence that Jamie is testifying against Max Hastings?
According to his brother,
Jamie's been acting strange the last few weeks.
He's had a bad year, got kicked out of the band,
gave up music, which he loved,
but he was doing better until recently.
He's been snappy, short-tempered.
On his phone all the time, messaging someone.
Who has Jamie been messaging?
Could it be a new girlfriend his family doesn't know about?
Is that who the bracelet is for?
Why did Jamie need money so badly
that he would try and steal it from his own mum?
And what did he mean when he said it was life or death?
If no-one else will look for Jamie, then I have to.
Pip. It's late, are you okay?
Yeah, um…
It's just… something's just set my car alarm off.
Did you hear it?
I saw you in the window
and just wanted to know if you'd seen anything, anyone?
I'm sorry.
That's a doorbell cam, isn't it?
- It is. - Does it have a motion sensor?
- Do you want me to check it? - Would you mind?
No, of course not.
One second.
There's a shadow, but, uh…
Bushes in the way, I'm sorry.
But you're… You're okay, yeah?
- Did it damage the car? - Oh.
No. No, it's fine. It's nothing.
Thanks for checking.
Any sign of him yet?
Not yet.
I'm getting calls from all the missing posters.
Lots of people saw him at the memorial, but it's like he vanished into thin air.
- He's got to turn up to court tomorrow. - I know.
How are you feeling about court today? It's okay to be nervous.
I'm fine.
Come here.
I'm sorry I can't be there for you.
It's okay.
You'll be in the same building, just two courtrooms down.
- That's enough for me. - Mm.
So…
it's opening statements,
then Becca Bell, and you're on after lunch.
Hiya.
Ooh, is that what you're wearing?
- Is that okay? - Yeah, lovely.
Just coming to see if you needed my help.
Obviously, you-- you don't need my… help.
I know you don't need me there today, but if you change your mind--
I'll be okay.
Yeah, I know you will.
Well…
Good luck, pickle.
Love you.
Hello, I think I saw that guy you're looking for at the memorial.
I think it was around 7:45. Hope that's helpful.
It's not.
Hello? Bethany? Is that you?
Pretty sure I saw that Jamie guy at the memorial around 7:45.
I only noticed him because he was having an argument with a girl.
I don't know who she is.
White, blonde hair.
It would appear the prosecution have misplaced their key witness.
- Good. - That's awful.
I hope Jamie's okay. He's such a sweet boy.
- Why? He's making up lies about me. - Oh.
Let him go, Rosie. You'll mess up his suit.
Let's have a look at you.
You're trying too hard.
Hey!
Put these on.
You need to look the part.
Time to go.
Nat and Jamie were seen arguing just before he disappears.
It's definitely relevant, Ravi.
Connor thinks Jamie still had feelings for Nat.
- Maybe he bought the bracelet for her? - Doesn't Nat have a boyfriend?
Yeah, he's called Luke Eaton.
Connor says he lives in that new estate.
I'm headed there now to speak to Nat.
We have to find Jamie today.
He's supposed to testify against Max tomorrow.
I was so sure it was Max.
Okay, yeah, he has an alibi, but that doesn't mean he's not involved.
Pip, I think you need to move on from Max.
Go speak to Nat, but don't be late for court.
- I won't. - Good luck.
- I wish I could be there with you. - You can't.
You have to stay at work. You love work.
I'll call you after.
This case centers on high school gatherings,
which came to be known as Calamity Parties.
Teenagers drinking. Having a good time.
Making memories.
Which became the setting for unspeakable crimes.
We do not deny that someone attacked these complainants.
The defendant incapacitated Becca Bell and Woman A,
spiking their drinks with Rohypnol, so they had no memory of their attack.
But you will not hear from one eyewitness
who physically saw my client commit these acts of sexual violence.
And why make these allegations now, six years after the fact?
Please, listen carefully to the evidence,
and the truth will become clear.
Yes?
Uh… um…
Your post.
You're not the postman.
No. No, I'm Pip.
- I'm a friend of Nat's. Is she here? - Pip?
- She's never mentioned you. - That's so Nat.
- What the fuck is she doing here? - She told me she was your friend.
She's very definitely not my friend.
But Jamie is.
And he's missing.
- What do you mean, missing? - He hasn't been seen since Friday night.
I know you spoke to him then, at about 7:45, so--
I didn't see Jamie at the memorial.
I-- I mean, I saw him, but I didn't speak to him.
Yeah, Nat doesn't talk to Jamie anymore.
So he wasn't messaging you before he disappeared?
No.
Aren't you worried about him? He hasn't been seen for nearly three days.
She's told you, yeah?
She's not worried.
Where were you?
- Where was I when? - Friday night?
- The night Jamie went missing. - Pip.
I was home all night.
Wasn't I, babe?
Yeah.
Call me if you hear from him.
- Nat doesn't speak to Jamie anymore. - So you said.
Some ancient call
That I've answered before
It lives in my walls
And it's under the floor
I did speak to Jamie at the memorial.
Yeah, I know you did. Someone saw you arguing.
It's the drugs. I think he's using again.
What do you mean, again? What drugs?
Ket.
He started using it when he was with the band.
Just when he felt anxious.
Just before shows. Guess he thought he couldn't write without it.
I helped him get clean six months ago, but I know the signs.
He's… he's jittery, withdrawn.
I was angry that he'd let me down, that he'd let himself down.
- Did he admit it? - No, he denied it.
Then he stops dead as if he's seen someone and says, "I've got to go."
- He just walked away from me. - Who did he see?
I don't know.
- Thanks, Nat. I've to get ready for court. - You're a witness?
I hope that's helpful.
I really need you to find Jamie, Pip.
Today. He can't let me down again.
What? What do you mean?
The Calamity party was in the woods.
I wasn't supposed to be there.
Andie freaked out and-- and tried to send me home.
But… I stayed.
I knew a few people there, um…
Friends of Andie's.
Her boyfriend, Sal Singh.
Nat Da Silva.
And Max Hastings.
He gave me a beer. Um…
I said no.
I didn't like beer.
But Max teased me.
He said I was no fun.
So I drank it.
Then later, I started to feel weird, like… dizzy, uh…
I couldn't-- I couldn't breathe properly.
Max said I should get some air.
That's when things get confusing. I can't really remember.
I was on the ground.
It was cold, wet.
I couldn't really move.
A few hours later,
I woke up.
And I knew something was wrong.
I was bleeding.
I knew I'd been raped.
Did you know Max Hastings was the one who raped you?
Not at the time.
I… I realized later.
I… found a burner phone in my sister's room.
Someone had texted Andie that night,
asking for roofies.
His number was saved under a codename, but…
Andie replied…
"I'll be at the Calamity, Max."
Thank you, Becca. No further questions.
I have just two questions, Miss Bell.
Are you currently serving a custodial sentence
for your role in your sister's death?
Uh…
Yes.
And secondly, do you have any memory of actually seeing your attacker?
No.
- No, but I-- - No further questions.
Why put yourself through the stress of a trial, Pip?
It's not going to go your way.
You, Becca, Jamie Reynolds, what's the point?
Save yourself from the disappointment.
Oh.
Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I saw you coming home.
I'm sorry, Charlie, I really have to go.
After you came round last night,
I've been looking through the rest of our recent door cam footage, and…
I found something you should see.
It's about Jamie Reynolds.
- Hi, Pip. - Hi.
Take a seat.
- This is my niece. - She's cute.
Thank you.
I found this from the Saturday before last.
The night of the murder mystery.
- Look. - What?
He got in through the window.
I must have left it open by mistake.
He was inside the house for 40 seconds. We were sleeping.
Did he take anything?
That's the strange thing. There's nothing missing.
All my computer equipment was untouched.
Well, there's one thing missing, but I must have just misplaced it.
You know, my bracelet.
The one that Mum gave me.
- Is this it? - Oh my God, that's it.
Where did you find it?
Jamie's room.
Shadows come into the light
I know where your secrets hide
