Recap of Suspicion Episode 5

The fifth episode, titled ‘What Does a Kidnapper Look Like?,’ opens with Sean’s attempts to hide from the unknown persons who are attempting to kill him, as well as Aadesh, Tara, Walker, and Natalie. He brings the others to the home of the man who attempted to assassinate him. Sean orders the others to reveal the truth about their role in the case in order to solve the mystery behind Leo’s kidnapping. He makes it apparent that the only way out of this issue is for everyone to establish their innocence by stating the truth.

Tara admits that she has attempted to unearth the anomalies around Leo’s admission even after the formal investigation has concluded. Walker claims that he may have spoken with Leo or been in the same pub with him, which prompted the authorities to arrest him. Natalie expresses her concerns about Sean’s engagement as they discuss their involvement. Aadesh, on the other hand, is adamant on calling the cops. Walker is struggling with his wound, and Sean is there to aid him by ministering to it. While they are talking, a neighbor called David arrives to check on the house. To escape suspicions, Tara and Sean pose as acquaintances of the house owner.

Meanwhile, Natalie attempts suicide with Sean’s gun in retaliation for Monique’s death. She, however, fails to do so. Aadesh searches the laptop of the man who attempted to murder Sean and discovers an email from Martin Copeland, the COO of Cooper Newman PR. As they consider Martin’s possible participation in the case, David discovers that Sean and Tara aren’t who they appear to be. He dials 911 and goes to check on them.

Suspicion Episode 5: Why Do Sean, Natalie, Tara, Aadesh, and Walker Travel to New York? Martin Copeland kidnapped Leo?

When Aadesh discloses that he hacked Cooper Newman PR in order to impress them and earn a job, Sean and others question him about if he discovered anything important regarding Leo Newman. He admits to reading some of Martin Copeland’s e-mails on Leo’s succession to the helm of the company. After listening to Aadesh, Sean suspects Martin is implicated in Leo’s kidnapping. He informs the others that he is heading to New York to confront Martin for attempting to murder him and destroying his livelihood. Natalie joins him in pledging vengeance on Martin for perhaps causing her sister’s death.

Tara, from Aadesh and Walker, inquires about joining Sean and Natalie. She knows that she and the others would never be safe in the UK because they have no idea who is chasing them. As Sean argues, New York will be the last location their opponents or the government suspect they are, opening the door for them to investigate the kidnapping themselves and prove their innocence without fear of punishment. Tara persuades Sean to travel to New York as a group because the situation isn’t just about Sean or Natalie.

As a result, the five of them resolve to travel to New York for safety and to learn the truth about Martin Copeland’s participation. Martin Copeland, as Sean suspected, may be implicated in Leo’s kidnapping. Martin may have staged the kidnapping to prevent Leo from becoming the future CEO of Cooper Newman PR while conversations about Leo’s succession were taking place. Exposing a contentious chapter in the Newmans’ past, notably with Eric Cresswell, provides Martin the opportunity to become the next leader of CNPR.

Martin, who may have spent his entire career in the shadow of Katherine Newman, may be looking for a method to create his own power in his company and influence in society. Because the kidnappers want the Newmans’ demise rather than money, it is certain that Leo’s kidnapping isn’t motivated by money. If the kidnappers are successful in bringing Katherine and potentially Leo down, Martin may benefit in a variety of ways, which might be surmised as a probable motive for the kidnapping.

Eddie Walker Texts Whom? Why?

Eddie Walker uses a covert device to text Sean, Natalie, Tara, and Aadesh that they are on their way to New York after leaving the residence. Walker’s actions suggest that he isn’t just a suspect like the others, even though the recipient of the text isn’t known. Walker could be an undercover agent working for the FBI, NCA, or perhaps Katherine Newman to uncover the truth about Leo and his abduction. Because the authorities have failed to offer a lead about the kidnappers, Walker may have been asked to join the suspects as one of them in order to gather any information regarding Leo and their involvement in Leo’s case.

Walker may have duped Aadesh by suggesting that the arrested suspects work together to prove their innocence. His encounter with Aadesh leads him to Sean, Tara, and Natalie as well. His distorted images in publications demonstrate the desire to conceal his identity. His late arrest implies that he was hired after the authorities realized there was no other way to get leads from the suspects. If not the authorities, Katherine Newman may hire Walker after recognizing the authorities’ inability to find her son. She could be employing Walker to find out where Leo is without engaging police in order to keep “the truth” from the FBI or NCA.
