Whilst Hathaway visits his father, who suffers from dementia, in a home Lewis is called in when a three year old corpse is fished from a well. Then artist Talika Desai is found murdered and her necklace missing. Her agent Sean Wilkinson is a suspect after young student Ollie Tedman saw the pair argue but Ollie's father Ian, Talika's old tutor, was also giving her money. Hathaway identifies the corpse in the well as Indrek, an Eastern European immigrant but it is Lewis who inadvertently sees the man's murder on video.
