Biography[]
Coming from humble beginnings, Thomas R. Lockwood was a born genius who made his way through school with the help of scholarships, scoring first in every class and becoming a CEO at age 26. He is the founder and CEO of the T.R. Lockwood Corporation, investing in biomedical research, telecommunications, and other businesses. A throughly amoral businessman, he made his billions of wealth as a corporate raider, destroying workers' lives for shareholder profits. More recently, he was also involved in backroom deals with sic police on protestors and cleansed a fellow CEO's record of rape allegations.
Lockwood held most of his 7 children in contempt for their stupidity and greed, but he adored his youngest, Katherine "Kate" Lockwood, who grew up to rival her father in intellect. While working for her father's company, Kate helped falsify toxic well-water reports and inadvertently caused several children to die of cancer. Guilt-ridden, she quit, cut ties with her father, took her mother's surname, and left for London, where she got a job as an art gallerist and dated a classics professor named Malcolm Harding. Determined not to let his brilliant daughter go, he made sure to have a hand in every success Kate could ever achieve so he could hold it against her one day, starting with calling Larry Gagosian to give Kate an internship, getting Kate every job offer, getting Artforum to profile Kate, and using his media contacts to silence lawsuits against Malcolm and Kate's client, artist Simon Soo.
After Malcolm, Simon, and noblewoman Gemma Graham-Greene were murdered, seemingly by Lady Phoebe's mentally ill stalker Dawn Brown, Kate started dating Malcolm's colleague Professor Jonathan Moore. Tom visits London and asks Kate out for dinner. Kate initially plans to leave London to avoid him, but Moore convinces her to accept his invitation. Doing his research on Moore, Tom uncovered his true identity: Joe Goldberg, the presumed dead husband and accomplice of late serial killer Love Quinn.
At dinner, Tom privately reveals to Joe his newfound knowledge of him before making small talk with him and Kate. At the end of the meal, Tom wheels out an architectural model and reveals that he constructed an art museum in New York for Kate to curate. Kate storms off, and Tom interrogates Joe for information on Love, but Joe assures him that he means no harm to Kate. Tom enlists Joe to assassinate Rhys Montrose, a politician running for mayor of London, in return for Tom protecting him from legal forces. Joe, who had been hallucinating Montrose committing the murders and threatening him, obliges.
Lockwood approaches Kate shortly after to repeat his museum offer, which she still refuses. In their conversation, she mentions that her best friend, Lady Phoebe, is being manipulated by her husband, American playboy Adam Pratt, who is using her to fund his projects and keeping her drugged and compliant. Lockwood hires three assassins to brutally torture Adam to death. Kate, horrified and furious, confronts Tom as he works at his airplane hangar. It is then that Tom reveals that he was behind every opportunity she had in her career, and she had accomplished absolutely nothing without his help. He orders his heartbroken daughter to return to New York and run the museum, with the implicit threat of ruining her career. Having come to the awful discovery that her father is behind everything in her life and practically "owns" her, Kate tells Joe about the meeting before bursting into tears. After putting her to bed, Joe uses her phone to text Tom, luring him back to the airplane hangar.
At the hangar, Tom catches Joe, who admits he lured him with the next and pretends that he's there to confront him about Montrose's body. Catching Tom off-guard, Joe knocks him out and ties him to a chair, planning to fake his death as a suicide by gunshot. Tom concludes that Joe is there to avenge Kate and attempts to reason with Joe, claiming Kate doesn't really love him. Tom's bodyguard, Hugo, then enters the hangar, but Joe stabs him to death. Tom begins to negotiate with Joe, claiming that with his connections, he can cover up Joe's sordid past. When Joe doesn't budge, Tom stops the pleasantries, proudly declaring that he is a survivor and what Joe is doing is no different from what he did before Joe suffocates him to death with a bag. Through analysing Tom's books about codes and cyphers, Joe hacks into Tom's bank account and transfers $2 million into Hugo's bank account. He then buries Hugo's corpse, making it seem as though Hugo tied up, robbed, and murdered Tom before running away. Kate inherits her father's assets and clears Joe's image after he confesses to his past crimes.

| “ | Ah, I'm a non-fiction man myself. I guess Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" is my own personal Bible. But if I'm being honest, yeah, great work of fiction exposes something deeper, gets to the truth of who a person really is, right? Take Katherine. I always knew she would be a true philanthropist. She tell you about the time she adopted every single pit bull in a rescue in Los Angeles? Lady's like "Well, pits, they can a little harder to adopt". Katherine, she's probably 10, she gets this look on her face and then she demands my phone, proceeds to call every one of my contacts and tells them that 'm personally giving them a dog. | „ |
