![]() As the circumstantial evidence builds, Whicher arrests Constance, he having been convinced that she had killed her half-brother out of revenge against her father for his treatment of her mother and his neglect of her and William, but he fails to get a confession from her or William. He visits a schoolmate of Constance, Emma Moody, who tells him that Constance enjoyed hurting Saville. ![]() It is discovered that Constance and her younger brother William Saville-Kent (Charlie Hiett) hate their stepmother Mary ( Emma Fielding) - who had, in fact, been employed as their former nanny, with whom their father had had an affair while their mother was dying. Stapleton ( Ben Miles), the family's doctor tells Whicher that Constance, like her late mother, is mentally unstable and resentful of Saville, her father's son from his second marriage, she immediately becomes Whicher's prime suspect. Constance Kent ( Alexandra Roach), Samuel Kent's sixteen-year-old daughter from his first marriage, claims that one of her three night-gowns had been lost by the laundress. The focus of Whicher's investigation is a torn and blood-stained piece from a woman's undergarment that had been found during the initial search for the missing boy. When Whicher arrives, Foley, suspicious of this outsider and his progressive police methods, reluctantly agrees to help. Local Superintendent Foley ( Tom Georgeson) believes that the murder is an 'inside job', committed by Saville's nurse Elizabeth Gough ( Kate O'Flynn), whom he suspects the child had seen in bed with a man, possibly the child's father, Samuel Kent ( Peter Capaldi) but whom he is forced to release due to lack of evidence. When three-year-old Saville Kent is found murdered in dreadful circumstances at the family home in Wiltshire, Commissioner Mayne ( Tim Pigott-Smith) sends Scotland Yard detective Inspector Jack Whicher ( Paddy Considine) to investigate the crime.
