The Man Who Died Twice

Elizabeth and Joyce are in the coroner’s van with Sue. They are heading to the morgue in Godalming with Martin’s body. Elizabeth privately reprimands herself for overcomplicating the case. She realizes that Douglas and Poppy have been dead all along and that Sue killed them. She has asked Joyce to record everything on her phone secretly.

Elizabeth confronts Sue, saying she knows she killed Douglas and Poppy for the diamonds. She adds that Sue slipped Siobhan’s phone number into Joyce’s pocket. Sue does not deny the accusations. She reveals that Siobhan has just messaged her to say the diamonds have been found in Joyce’s microwave. Pointing a gun at Joyce, Sue asks for her postcode and redirects the driver to Coopers Chase.

As they drive, Elizabeth presents her theory of events to Sue. She suggests that Poppy found Douglas’s letter and handed it to her boss, unaware that Sue was Douglas’s lover and the couple had plotted to sell the diamonds. When she read the letter, Sue realized that Douglas still loved Elizabeth and was planning to betray her. Wanting Douglas dead, Sue informed Martin that Douglas was at Coopers Chase. Martin sent Andrew to kill Douglas, but Poppy prevented him. Sue then moved Douglas to another safe house to kill both him and Poppy. Needing an accomplice, she recruited Siobhan.

Sue admits that Elizabeth is right. She dropped the note in Joyce’s pocket, knowing Joyce would think it was from Poppy. By falsely establishing Siobhan as Poppy’s mother, she knew that Elizabeth would suspect Poppy while leading Sue to the location of the diamonds.

As the van arrives at Coopers Chase, Elizabeth hears ambulance sirens. She fears for the safety of Stephen and Ibrahim when Sue tells her that three armed men are with Siobhan. Sue walks the two women over to Joyce’s apartment block. They get in the elevator, and when the doors open, Elizabeth instructs Joyce to drop to the floor. Bogdan is waiting and shoots Sue in the shoulder.

Sue is taken to Elizabeth’s apartment, where Bogdan is also holding Siobhan. Stephen explains that Siobhan and the armed men questioned him about the location of the diamonds, but he feigned confusion. He was saved by Bogdan, who claimed he would show the intruders where the diamonds were. Leading them to Joyce’s apartment, Bogdan overpowered and shot the men (hence the ambulances). He instructed Siobhan to text Sue saying the diamonds were in Joyce’s microwave and waited to ambush her.

Elizabeth asks Siobhan who she is. Siobhan confesses she is Sally Montague, the woman Douglas married after Elizabeth divorced him.
