Washed-up journalist James lands the interview of the decade when murder suspect Natalie Varga makes him an offer he can't refuse: help find the real killer, and she'll give him the exclusive everyone wants.

Natalie tells James she's just seen her dead brother. Oliver went on the run after borrowing from drug dealers in Budapest. Mrs Molnar provides a Hungarian police file which implicates him in another murder attempt. James and Natalie become closer and he reveals why he gave up serious journalism.

James has a terrifying flight to Budapest where he discovers it's very easy to kill someone on a plane. He manages to evade Toth and Barbara joins him to track down Vera. Vera denies knowing Oliver is alive and threatens to report them for harassment.

Everything James thought he knew has been turned upside down. He returns to London to pursue the killer but Barbara has fired him from his job and no-one believes his stories of what happened in Budapest. When he refuses to drop the case the police arrest him. He finally finds the one piece of evidence which proves the killer's identity and motive but it may also lead to his destruction.
