But surely she was too old to be of interest to a paedophile ?

She was his victim back when she was 13.

They did in the final conversation between the killer and the MC.

Yes I’d forgotten that and didn’t make the connection between her and the killer’s daughter. So was she aware of what her father was doing?

I just thought it was a bit of a coincidence that it was her that was being followed as though she was bait.

I really got into the story last night, so much so that it came as a surprise when the episode ended. I hadn't checked the time left once. I always use that as a barometer of how good I've found a programme.

Hmmm.... the new crime is interesting but the stuff with Paolo is a bit silly. The MC is a high-ranking police officer. There's all kinds of things he can do to get rid of him, legally. But offering him money so that he can be blackmailed? Nah. That's ridiculous. And it's a shame the writer has done that cos otherwise it's a good series.

Thinking about it, what has he done to be blackmailed about? No evidence that he gave Paolo a smack. Which wasn't reported anyway. And no witnesses to the conversation in the restaurant. And offering someone money to go away isn't illegal anyway. I would have told him to get stuffed.

Maybe the blackmail motive is that he wouldn't want his sister to know that he had broken up her relationship. On the other hand, she ought to be told that this man is physically abusing her son. That would be enough to make me end a relationship!

And the killer was Tom Brooke, who was the burned face sniper in the Bodyguard.
Eagle-eyed viewers might remember him as Cpl Nym in the Hollow Crown - Henry V, and Lothar Frey in Game of Thrones.
He's got a certain face..

I also saw him in the National Theatre production of King Lear.
Oh, I really don't know what to make of this. Certainly I enjoyed it more this week, especially ep.1, but once again felt the ending was rushed. I don't think the "two episodes to a story" format suits it. With the ongoing back story of Wagstaffe's personal life it would flow better if it carried on over six episodes instead of starting afresh each week. This week's story seemed to have jumped on several years from the previous one judging by the sister's son. Last week he was a small boy of about 6, this week he was a teenager....and yet the rest of the cast and their circumstances seemed the same! Very odd. Are we supposed to like Wagstaffe? For a senior police officer he seems very ambivalent about the legality of some things he does...but I must say, he is very easy on the eye though!
