Inside Man- Episode 2 Summary & Recap
Second case
Beth Davenport (Lydia West) showed her text messages with Janice to Grieff, hoping that he would take her case. But Grieff rejected the case and gave her another proposal. Beth would get to sit in in Grieff’s next case, but she could not bring up the case of Janise Fife again. After an internal struggle, Beth agreed.
The next case was about a missing man, Conor, from five years ago. Conor’s daughter contacted Grieff and dragged her mother along. They showed Grieff a video of an award where Conor was supposedly last seen. After hearing about the case, Grieff sent Beth for some errands. On the way, she was told to stop by Barney’s workshop where Barney gave Beth an information that Janice was supposed to have a call the next day at 9pm, but he did not mention Janice by name.
It turns out that Conor’s wife, Hannah was the one who murdered Conor. After the award, Conor took a train home. No one saw him because he blended together with some orchestra musicians who were there. Beth was impressed by Grieff’s deductive skill, but even more happy when she found out that Grieff had actually decided to take on the case about Janice.
Bargain

Harry went to a pub to see Edgar and tried to return Edgar the USB drive while secretly recording the conversation. Edgar realized that Harry might’ve known the contents of the drive, and so he denied owning it. Frustrated, Harry brought Edgar to church and asked Edgar to confess his sins before God. As Edgar asked for God’s forgiveness, Harry secretly recorded him, but Edgar was unable to properly say out what he did. Eventually, Edgar had a meltdown and told Harry that he want to die
That was when Harry realized that what he was doing is wrong. He decided to tank all the consequences. He brought Edgar to his room and made Edgar upload the pedophilic videos onto his personal laptop. Then, Harry sent Edgar home. Before Edgar goes off, Harry reminded Edgar to stay away from those contents and to always remember his sacrifice.
