00:00I don't know
00:30I don't know
01:00Oh, it's the photo from James' phone. How did you get that?
01:18I had Henry printed out for me this morning.
01:21Hmm. Is he still talking to you?
01:25How are you getting on?
01:27I'm not seeing a pattern.
01:30Which means it almost certainly requires a source key to crack it.
01:35Some kind of book or something he used to code it.
01:38Which is why I've been going through all his other stuff.
01:41But so far, nothing fit.
01:43Do you know, I'm not in his address book.
01:45You still live in the same house he grew up in.
01:48I'm sure he remembers the address.
01:55Why do you think he does this?
01:57Covering notebooks in wallpaper.
01:59I just presume that was a hangover from your posh school. Do you not do that?
02:02No, I don't. Never even made sense to me back then.
02:06Wallpaper goes on walls. The clue's in the name.
02:09I'm going to have to go in soon.
02:14Oh, it'll be fine. You were okay yesterday, weren't you?
02:17No! I nearly had a breakdown!
02:19But aside from that, you were fine.
02:22At least we have some new leads to pursue now.
02:25Like, why was James taking covert surveillance photos of his own chief constable?
02:29You need to find out what case he was working on when he vanished.
02:33It must all be connected.
02:35But how do I do that? I can't just ask. I'm supposed to be James.
02:39James would know full well what Casey was working on.
02:42Just ask subtly then. Slip it into casual conversation.
02:45Check his computer.
02:47John, you are the only person that can do this.
02:49Just focus. And no more distraction.
02:54That wasn't a distraction. It was a murder.
02:56What if there's another one today?
02:58How often do people get murdered around here?
03:00John, you're not attending another crime scene.
03:02This time you say no. Tell them you're busy.
03:03But what if they counter that with busy doing what?
03:07Paperwork.
03:08Just use the, er, phrase, mountain of.
03:10You've seen the crime shows.
03:12Gosh, it's practically their mantra.
03:15I'll take this. Have a crack at it.
03:17There's hardly any chance of you solving it, is there?
03:19Excuse me?
03:21No, it just...
03:22It needs a source key.
03:24And if it's not here, it's probably at the station.
03:27So...
03:28Do you know, James didn't trust me, which is why we're in this mess.
03:31I didn't drag you halfway down the country for you to do the same.
03:34Don't James me, John.
03:37I'd never James you, Lucy.
03:42Find out what Casey was working on.
03:45What do you know?
03:46And pop your lenses in, because you know it takes you 25 minutes.
03:50Right, yes.
03:50I mean, if you have to have these.
03:56That mountain of paperwork.
03:59That's the one.
04:00It'll work a treat.
04:09Right.
04:09Oh, hi, James.
04:34I...
04:35Quite right.
05:03Do you see Artina?
05:04Oh, hello.
05:07Ma'am.
05:12So how are things working out with your new dear?
05:15Doors opening.
05:15Oh, you know.
05:17Fine.
05:20Fine.
05:23Doors closing.
05:27Given everything that happened,
05:28I was expecting a slightly more detailed response to my question than fine.
05:33Right.
05:34Yes, of course.
05:36It's great.
05:37Really, really great.
05:39And you can drop the sarcasm.
05:40I wasn't being...
05:41I didn't want to see D.I.
05:42Neville transferred any more than you did.
05:45But after all that Sinclair business, there was no other option.
05:50It was you or him.
05:51You do know that?
05:56Yes, of course.
05:57Stands to reason.
05:58Especially after all that Sinclair business, as you say.
06:04D.I. Carter came highly...
06:06And I mean highly recommended.
06:14Just hope we can get back to normal now.
06:17That would be nice.
06:20And ma'am.
06:43Morning, Gov.
06:59Oh, her, yeah.
07:00Missing person sent her up.
07:02I'm not sure why, yeah?
07:03Because she insisted.
07:04Despite there being nothing to substantiate foul play,
07:06they sent her up anyway.
07:09Feels like a fob-off to me.
07:11You all right, Gov?
07:13Oh, er, yes, thank you.
07:18I've got a mountain of paperwork.
07:20Oh, I hear that.
07:22It never stops.
07:22Let's see.
07:52Twenty-second of the second, the day James vanished.
08:22Authorization code?
08:52Now this is the eye actually, she's going to deal with me, okay?
09:08Gov!
09:20Morning, Gov.
09:28So...
09:30There's a woman whose husband didn't come home from some work team building retreat thingy despite apparently checking out last night.
09:38Oh.
09:39I took all the details down but if you ask me, he'll probably rock up later today with a bad hangover and lipstick on his collar.
09:47She looked very distressed.
09:49Yeah, well she got this weird cryptic phone call from him last night which is the only reason missing persons were able to pass it on.
09:55Well, I'll leave you to it.
10:05I'll leave you to it.
10:07I'll leave you to it.
10:17I'll leave you to it.
10:19I'll leave you to it.
10:21I'll leave you to it.
10:25I'll leave you to it.
10:37Sorry, but cryptic how?
10:41It's just a team building residential.
10:45Boss leaves early, they keep going without him.
10:49So what is this exactly, a hunch?
10:51He calls her up in the middle of the night.
10:53Tells her they're leaving.
10:55Doesn't say where, doesn't say why.
10:57Then rings off and never shows up.
10:59Don't you want to know what happened?
11:01It's just not the normal leading to an investigation, that's all.
11:05And I don't know about you, but I left quite the mountain of paperwork back there.
11:09Tell me about it.
11:19I mean, I'm still dotting the I's and crossing the T's on that whole Sinclair business, so...
11:29The what?
11:31The what business?
11:33Hmm?
11:35Oh, it doesn't matter.
11:37Yeah.
11:39Yeah.
11:41We're looking for a Mr Peter Williams.
11:43Mr Williams?
11:44Yes, the entrepreneur.
11:45He arranged a team bonding exercise, but he checked out last night.
11:47The rest of his party are still here.
11:49He did book the place for a week, I made it very clear.
11:51There were no refunds.
11:53Quite right.
11:55Do you happen to know what time he left?
11:57Seven.
11:58Ish.
11:59Mm-hmm.
12:00He left me his business card.
12:02I shoved it in here somewhere.
12:04Hang on.
12:05This used to be the kitchen.
12:07Mm-hmm.
12:08This used to be a lot of things, detective.
12:10Mm-hmm.
12:11This used to be a lot of things, detective.
12:13Now, I live in the guest house and the guests live in mine.
12:15C'est la vie.
12:16Wait.
12:17You own this place?
12:18No.
12:19I'm not sure.
12:20I'm not sure.
12:21I'm not sure.
12:22But I did book the place for a week, I made it very clear.
12:24There were no refunds.
12:25Quite right.
12:26Do you happen to know what time he left?
12:27Seven.
12:28Ish.
12:29He left me his business card.
12:30I shoved it in here somewhere.
12:32Hang on.
12:33This used to be the kitchen?
12:35This used to be a lot of things, detective.
12:38Now, I live in the guest house and the guests live in mine.
12:41C'est la vie.
12:42Wait.
12:43You own this place?
12:45I'm Lady Bryce, yes.
12:46Oh.
12:47Sorry.
12:48I always thought these stately homes were run by the National Trust now.
12:54Not this one.
12:56Yet.
12:57May I ask what this is all about, detective?
13:02Has he done something wrong?
13:04No.
13:05No, no, no.
13:06Not at all.
13:07He's completely vanished after making an alarmingly cryptic phone call to his wife,
13:11leaving her with no idea where he is or what's happened.
13:16Well, there is that.
13:19Um, do you think we could have a word with these colleagues?
13:23I believe they're in the dining room.
13:26Work is a scary word.
13:28Team isn't.
13:30So what is teamwork?
13:33Answer.
13:34Half is scary.
13:36Sorry to interrupt.
13:37Police.
13:38We need to talk to you about Mr Williams.
13:39Peter?
13:40Why?
13:41What's he done?
13:42Nothing as far as we're aware, but he didn't get home last night and his wife's concerned.
13:45Well, and that warrants to playing close detectives, doesn't it?
13:48What can I say?
13:49Slow morning.
13:50So, when did you all see him last?
13:52Oh, I'm not actually staying here.
13:54Peter hired him.
13:55He's the one running the workshop.
13:58Yeah, Ross Barkley.
13:59Motivational speaker.
14:00Nice to meet you.
14:01Excuse me.
14:02This isn't true.
14:04What isn't true?
14:05Only a team can win a championship.
14:09Yes, it is.
14:10No, it isn't.
14:11What about Garry Kasparovt?
14:15Who?
14:16Sorry, but do you think we should be worried here?
14:18I mean, do you think something's happened to him?
14:20It's fine, honestly.
14:21We're really just covering all bases.
14:23When did you see him last?
14:24He came down from his room just as we were heading to dinner.
14:27Said he wasn't feeling very well and that he was heading home.
14:31And that would have been around seven, would it?
14:34Yeah, I think so.
14:35But did any of you actually see him leave?
14:38Well, we didn't exactly wave him off or anything, but his car's gone and he weren't at breakfast.
14:42So...
14:43Right then.
14:44Thank you all for your time.
14:45Yep.
14:46Uh, Garry Kasparovt, chess player.
14:47Very clever.
14:48Well, it takes two to play a game with chess.
14:50So, technically, still a team.
14:53No, it isn't.
14:54Yes, it is.
14:55No, it isn't.
14:56Yes, it is.
14:57It's always been a team.
14:58Okay?
14:59Always been a team.
15:00They're against each other.
15:01No, no, no, no, no.
15:02It's always been a team.
15:03It's always been a team.
15:04Always been a team.
15:05No, it isn't.
15:06Again, thank you all for your time.
15:07No, no, no.
15:08They're working together to defeat one another.
15:10It's always a team detective, okay?
15:12Okay?
15:13So, guys, as I was saying, team.
15:15I mean, he'd hardly be the first suit and tie to pull a Houdini, would he?
15:19This thing has Midlife Crisis written all over it.
15:23The phone call?
15:24And none of them actually saw him leave.
15:27Well, he isn't here.
15:28Well, unless he's hiding under the desk, so I don't think we...
15:32Hmm.
15:33Huh.
15:34Huh.
15:35Huh.
15:39Huh.
15:44Can I help you?
16:15You interested?
16:17In what?
16:19Oh, no, I'm sorry, I'm looking for Matt Neville.
16:22He lives here?
16:23He did. Paid his rent off in full.
16:25Moved up a month ago.
16:26But all his things are still here.
16:28Yeah, they are.
16:29If you do find him, you can tell him he's got three weeks
16:31before it all goes to auction.
16:33Do you have a forwarding address or a telephone number?
16:36No, I haven't.
16:37But I'll tell you what I've told the others.
16:39I got the keys for the post, I checked for the rent,
16:41and that was it. He was gone.
16:43Others? What others? Who else is looking for him?
16:46Sorry, who are you exactly?
16:48I am a private detective.
16:51No, you're not.
16:53All right, I'm his sister.
16:55Fine, fine.
16:57We're having an affair.
16:58Look, does it matter? I just need to find him.
17:01Look, whatever this is, I can't help you, all right?
17:04These others, what did they look like?
17:08Policemen?
17:09Very tall policemen.
17:18No videos, just time-lapse stills.
17:22What time did you say he checked out again?
17:24Seven-ish.
17:25Seven-oh-two.
17:27Seven-oh-four.
17:28Seven-oh-
17:30Seven-oh-
17:31There he is.
17:34And there he goes.
17:35Happy?
17:36That seems to be it.
17:38It's empty till nine,
17:40and then the woman comes back behind the desk again.
17:42Yep.
17:43Then it flips to the next morning.
17:45Why does it do that?
17:46Well, it happens every night. We've checked.
17:48She probably unplugged everything she owns before she goes to bed.
17:52My mum does the same, actually.
17:56It's annoying.
17:57Make the one before that one go back on the screen again.
18:00What, you mean click back?
18:02Yes, click back.
18:06Now click forward.
18:10Now click back.
18:12Now click forward.
18:13Actually, do you know what?
18:14Why don't you sit here and click back and forth
18:16while I go out and put my Masters in Computer Science
18:19to slightly more practical use?
18:21Okay.
18:26Okay.
18:27So, his company, Cambridge Luxury Wellness,
18:30basically just sells exclusive memberships
18:32to a luxury spa retreat, only it doesn't exist yet.
18:35There's nothing but artist impressions on the website
18:37and it looks like it's the advanced member fees
18:39that are supposed to finance its construction,
18:41none of which is evidence of foul play.
18:43Sorry, what would be?
18:44Oh, gosh, I don't know, Simon.
18:46How about a dead body?
18:47That's usually a good place to start.
18:49Yep.
18:50This wasn't his first rodeo either.
18:51This time last year he had a Provisional Music Festival
18:54that he was selling tickets to
18:55and that collapsed under the weight of his own ambition.
18:57In fact, this is his fourth business in six years.
19:00They pop up, they go under, he forms another.
19:03Hmm, I suppose that's one way to stay ahead of the creditors.
19:06And another would be to pull a midnight flip.
19:08And pound to a penny, it's not the first time
19:10he's done one of those either.
19:12So what do you say, Gov?
19:13Can we kick the can back on this one or what?
19:15Something is different.
19:22Gov.
19:27So let me get this straight in my head.
19:38Not only do you not actively avoid attending another crime scene,
19:42you actually insist on it.
19:43Well, technically it wasn't necessary.
19:45No, no, wait, because this is the best bit.
19:47You then return to the station,
19:48the whole department tells you to drop it,
19:51literally letting you off the hook.
19:53And what do you say? You say no.
19:55Yes, because something is very, very wrong here
19:58and none of them seem able to see it.
20:00Look, I'll show you.
20:01I had them print out the photos.
20:05Last night, this morning.
20:07See?
20:09Something's changed.
20:11What?
20:12I don't know.
20:14John, you were supposed to be looking into James' last case today.
20:16Find out what this Ziegler chap,
20:18what's he got to do with anything?
20:20I found out more than you today.
20:21What do you mean?
20:22Oh, I went to see Di Neville.
20:25You did what?
20:26Don't add all incredulous.
20:27We need answers and we need them now.
20:29He could have given us them.
20:32Anyway, if it makes you feel any better,
20:34he's gone, vanished.
20:35Just like James.
20:36That doesn't make me feel better at all.
20:38Yes, well, I'm not exactly cock-a-hoop about it.
20:40Henry!
20:41Have you really got nothing new to report?
20:43Nothing at all?
20:45I don't know.
20:47I mean, maybe.
20:50Did James ever mention the name Sinclair to you?
20:57Sinclair?
20:59No, I don't think so.
21:05Oh.
21:06Then, no, I haven't.
21:08Sorry.
21:15Lucy, don't.
21:16A woman's husband is missing.
21:19My husband is missing.
21:20Sorry.
21:21She even looked like you.
21:33What stylish, attractive and approachable.
21:35Scared?
21:36Yes, well, she's not the only one.
21:48Henry, I should have told you everything from the start.
22:04I was wrong.
22:05I'm sorry.
22:07Listen, we will find out, I promise you.
22:13Do you know, your Uncle John is the most brilliant person I've ever known.
22:20There's nothing he can't do.
22:22Actually, that's a lie. There's quite a lot of things he can't do.
22:27But he can do this.
22:29We will do this.
22:35Did you even read the letter he wrote?
22:39A hundred times.
22:40He was talking like he thought someone was coming after him.
22:43What if they found him first?
23:02I mean, what if he's...
23:03He's not dead.
23:04How do you know?
23:06Because he's my husband.
23:12And my soul mate.
23:15And I would know.
23:16I would feel it.
23:18I would feel it in the core of my bones.
23:22I would know.
23:23Okay?
23:25He's not.
23:31You promise?
23:33I promise.
23:36I'll leave.
23:42You're up early.
23:43I couldn't sleep.
23:44You know he has a wife.
23:45D.I. Neville.
23:46Which means she's gone too.
23:47Which means, unlike my husband, he actually told her what's going on.
23:51That's certainly one possibility.
23:52Well, I'm taking this notebook today.
23:53No ifs, no buts.
23:54Yes, but...
23:55I mean, sure.
23:56Okay.
23:57There it is.
23:58I was looking for this last night.
24:00What, the address book?
24:01Why?
24:02James made a telephone call from his computer the day he vanished.
24:03I was hoping the number might go wrong.
24:04No tos, no tos...
24:05A little else.
24:06No tos, no tos, no tos.
24:07No tos, no tos, no tos, no tos.
24:08No tos.
24:09Well, the address book may be.
24:10Where?
24:11You're nowhere to ask her, no tos, no tos.
24:12No tos, no tos, no tos, no tos, no tos.
24:13Yes, but...
24:15I mean, sure.
24:16Okay.
24:19Oh, there it is!
24:22I was looking for this last night.
24:23What, the address book?
24:24Why?
24:25Hmm? James made a telephone call from his computer the day he vanished.
24:31I was hoping the number might be in here somewhere.
24:34John, you said we had no new leads at all.
24:36Do you think this is a lead? I wasn't sure. I didn't want to give you false hope.
24:41I love false hope!
24:43Really? Why would anyone...
24:45Have you rung it?
24:46Well, no.
24:47Why not?
24:49Someone might answer.
24:51Give me the number.
24:53The number?
24:55Oh, goodness me. If it's here, goodness me.
25:00Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Shhh!
25:03It's hardly the first time I've given you an arm lock.
25:06Technically this isn't an arm lock, but...
25:11It's ringing!
25:19It's a fax machine.
25:20Who would James know that still owns a fax machine?
25:26It's a fax machine.
25:39DCI Taylor.
25:40Ah!
25:41Good morning.
25:41Oh, hello.
25:42Sir.
25:43Team Reviews this month, isn't it?
25:45Well, that's this month, is it?
25:48Seems to get earlier and earlier each year.
25:52And when I say year, I do, of course, mean quarter.
25:56I'm hoping your new report will be as favourable as the last one, despite the recent changes to your team.
26:03Well, you know what they say.
26:05An individual may win a game, but only a team can win a championship.
26:12Yes.
26:13Yes, that's very true.
26:19Morning, Gov.
26:20We, uh, found the car.
26:22Hmm?
26:23Oh, good.
26:24Well done.
26:25Which car?
26:26Sir, sir, are you aware that you've parked outside the lines just now?
26:29Oh, yes.
26:30Well, they're really just a guy, aren't they?
26:33No, sir.
26:34They're not.
26:35Yeah, no.
26:36It was Mr. Williams' car we found.
26:38Abandoned at Hutley, East Coast, about a two-hour drive.
26:41Notorious Suicide Hotspot.
26:43We're heading there now.
26:44Oh.
26:46Am I supposed to come with you?
26:48Not that I'm aware.
26:50I think the superintendent wants to see you, actually.
26:53Does she?
26:56Can I come with you?
26:58Yeah.
26:59No.
27:00No.
27:11Oh, there you are, DCI Taylor.
27:17Do sit.
27:22DI Carter's just been explaining your impromptu investigation over at Bryce Manor yesterday.
27:28And the fact that your hunch was correct.
27:37Those employees we met, they had to buy into their jobs 500 quid each.
27:42All under the promise of a steady wage and a supposed percentage of profits down the line.
27:47It was all a con.
27:49Soft mark selling high-priced membership to something that was never actually going to exist.
27:53There's only so many times you can do this sort of thing before you start flagging up on every system going.
27:58Our Mr. Williams was declared bankrupt the day he disappeared.
28:01Assets were frozen, company was liquidated, and an investigation was opened.
28:07Do you think his wife knew?
28:08No, but she was going to find out pretty soon.
28:12As were his current employees and all of his previous marks.
28:15The jig was up and he knew it.
28:18His car was found parked near a cliff this morning.
28:21Sergeant Finch and Constable Evans were on their way now to check it out.
28:24Where they'll doubtless find a note explaining it all.
28:26But none of this makes any sense.
28:29Excuse me, DCI Taylor?
28:31Why would you make an urgent phone call to your wife,
28:34tell her to pack all the cases,
28:36and then go and jump off a cliff?
28:38No, I don't think so.
28:40We need to go back and talk to the team again.
28:42Especially now we have a motive.
28:44A motive for what?
28:46Well, murder.
28:55Thanks for that.
28:57I sense you're not wholly convinced.
29:00Investigating a murder where there's no evidence of a murder,
29:04I'll be honest, Gov, not wholly.
29:06No.
29:07I'll back you all the way.
29:10You will?
29:12Of course.
29:18Remember that case I mentioned the other day?
29:21Oh my goodness.
29:21Hey, I'm just on my way out.
29:25I'll give you a call back.
29:26Uh, nice.
29:31Sorry, what were you saying about the case?
29:36It wasn't important.
29:48This can't be happening. I had to beg, borrow and plead to get my state for this.
29:52Friends, family, I don't have that kind of money.
29:54You think we do? You think anyone applying to a job ad,
29:58sell a tape to a lamppost that has a spare 500 quid knocking about?
30:01Can we get it back?
30:02I'm afraid we can't answer that at the moment.
30:04Our priority is locating Mr Williams.
30:06Yeah, good luck with that. He's probably fled the country by now.
30:11Excuse me.
30:12Oh, here we go. I suppose you're going to tell me that this isn't true either.
30:15Well, obviously it's not.
30:17Really? Okay, can you think of a single situation
30:20where people have worked together and achieved less?
30:26This one?
30:28I truly believe that we can find a teachable moment within all of this.
30:34All of us.
30:36You just shut up.
30:38So, it was all a con. Even this.
30:40Mr Barkley, have you actually been paid for this gig?
30:45I don't work for free, detective.
30:47Well, unless you've been paid in advance, I'm afraid that's actually what you've been doing.
30:51Welcome to the club.
30:53Right, forget this. I'm going on.
30:55Sorry, but I don't think you can leave.
30:59None of you can. I don't think.
31:03Can they?
31:05Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean? Why can't we leave?
31:07Well, because you're all suspects, aren't they?
31:11Just tell me what you want to know.
31:15Well, you can start with the last time you saw him.
31:17Like I told you before, at dinner.
31:19We were all sat around, waiting for the old girl to come and serve up.
31:23Good old Peter was the last one down.
31:25Peter, what is it? What's wrong?
31:27Sorry. Oh, God.
31:28I think it's best if I can go home.
31:29He said he felt sick.
31:30And that he was going home, and that was it.
31:33The rest of us had dinner, then just went to our rooms.
31:35And none of you left the dining room at any point?
31:37Not even for a mid-meal bathroom break?
31:39What?
31:40I don't know.
31:41I don't know.
31:42I don't know.
31:43I don't know.
31:44I don't know.
31:45I don't know.
31:46I don't know.
31:47I don't know.
31:48I don't know.
31:49I don't know.
31:50I don't know.
31:51I don't know.
31:52I don't know.
31:53I don't know.
31:54I don't know.
31:55A what?
31:56A mid-meal bathroom break.
31:58I'm pretty sure that's a thing.
32:00No.
32:01No.
32:02None of us had a mid-meal bathroom break.
32:04None of us left the room once, and by the time we did, he was gone.
32:07If he was feeling so unwell, how come none of you offered to drive him home?
32:11I don't think anyone wanted to miss dinner.
32:14I wasn't here.
32:16Okay?
32:17I was at home.
32:18I don't even know what I'm being questioned about.
32:20I just really wanted to ask you what your credentials are.
32:23Have you heard of the University of Life, Detective?
32:29I have actually, yes.
32:31All right.
32:33No credentials.
32:34No, I don't need to take this.
32:36I mean, it's not like any of us knew him, or each other.
32:49We only met a week ago when we turned up for the job.
32:53Some bloody porter cabin in the middle of a car park.
32:56It was a job.
32:58They don't come that easy for some of us.
33:00You know?
33:01You said the ad was sellotaped to a lamppost.
33:05Where exactly was this?
33:08Duke Street.
33:10By the probation officers.
33:11Right outside it.
33:13He knew who to target.
33:17Shoplifting.
33:20You're a thief.
33:21I'm a woman on universal credit who some weeks can barely afford to feed herself.
33:25That's what I am.
33:27Detective.
33:30Thief.
33:31Destruction of property and assault.
33:34Property being my ex-wife's lover's front door.
33:37Assault being his chin.
33:38Yeah, worth it.
33:41Reckless driving.
33:43I was drinking the night before.
33:44I was still just over the limit, and the guy in a motorcycle came out of nowhere.
33:48There was no avoiding him.
33:50Was he...?
33:51Instantly.
33:53There were no cameras.
33:54It was my word against nobody.
33:57I got two years.
33:58Served eight months.
34:00I've been trying to pick up the pieces of my life ever since.
34:04Now here I am.
34:05Jobless again.
34:07Broke again.
34:08And being interrogated for being the victim of a fraudster.
34:14Anything else you want to ask?
34:16Yes, do you think you could take a quick look at this photo?
34:19I think we're done here, Gareth, don't you?
34:23They're all criminals.
34:29Even the trainer.
34:31Well, Sparkly isn't a criminal, Gov.
34:32Isn't he?
34:33He's charging £30 an hour to basically misquote Aesop.
34:37Uh-huh.
34:38Well, as chequered as their past may be,
34:41the fact remains that their statements all match.
34:43Tallying with that of Lady Bryce and the recording on the camera, Gov,
34:46sometimes the simplest explanation is simple for a reason.
34:50Why would someone clean one urn and not the other?
34:56I've absolutely no idea, Gov.
34:58Do you hear anything of what I just...
35:00Ugh, Carter!
35:04Where's the vehicle, sir?
35:06Tell me you found a note.
35:07No note, sir.
35:08No nothing.
35:09Keys in the ignition.
35:10Bag in the back.
35:11It's a classic abandoned car on a cliff top scenario.
35:13I think I see a shoe!
35:14Oh, hang on.
35:15Constable Evans thinks he can see your shoe.
35:17Oh, no.
35:18It just flew off.
35:21There's a negative in the shoe, sir.
35:25See you back at the station.
35:30That was Sergeant Finch.
35:32No note, I presume.
35:34No note.
35:35Gorgeous.
35:36Great.
35:37Put a little arm round the waist.
35:38Cheesy grins.
35:39Gorgeous.
35:41Okay, surely we have enough to call it no sir.
35:43You'd have thought so, wouldn't you?
35:44The cup of pens?
35:45They've certainly moved, but no...
35:51Oh.
35:52We would have thought so.
35:53No hope so.
36:06You'd have thought so, wouldn't you?
36:08The cup of pens?
36:10The cup of pens?
36:11They've certainly moved, but no.
36:15Our clothes.
36:16They've certainly changed, but no.
36:20Spot the difference should never be this hard.
36:22They're basically an entry-level puzzle.
36:25This is very frustrating.
36:27Sir, your wife is downstairs.
36:30I shouldn't have thought so, no.
36:33Is there any reason why your wife wouldn't be downstairs, Garth?
36:37I suppose not.
36:38But, um, perhaps my wife is downstairs.
36:46What are you doing here?
36:47Don't hiss at me.
36:48You look suspicious.
36:50You sound like I brought you a packed lunch or something.
36:54I haven't actually brought you a packed lunch.
36:56Well, how's that going to work, then?
36:57Just smile at me like a loving husband.
36:59I've got something to show you.
37:01Not that, don't do that. Don't smile like that.
37:04Are you of little faith?
37:05You've cracked the code?
37:07Oh, no.
37:08I was going to say.
37:09Yes, all right, all right.
37:10You've made your thoughts very clear on that.
37:12As it happens, I've found something else just as important.
37:15Look, the first page has been torn out.
37:18Ah, yes.
37:19Good work.
37:20No, that's not what's important, John.
37:24I did that thing.
37:26That thing that they do in the films.
37:28Which film?
37:29That pencil rubby thing.
37:30Look at this Sinclair.
37:35And there's some other bits and bobs that didn't come out so well.
37:38Then look at the bottom.
37:39Ziegler.
37:40Ziegler.
37:42Chief Constable Ziegler.
37:43There's some numbers after it.
37:45Look, I think this is phone scribbles.
37:48He was on a call to someone.
37:50He's writing Sinclair.
37:51He's writing Ziegler.
37:52It's got to mean something, hasn't it?
37:54If those numbers underneath do what I think they do,
37:56this could just mean everything.
37:58Really?
37:59I knew it.
38:00I knew I was good at this.
38:02Up top.
38:08I'd better go.
38:12Thanks for the packed lunch.
38:14Thanks.
38:22I'll see you next time.
38:52I'll see you next time.
39:22We've been through all the bank statements
39:30and can't find anything that differs from the story.
39:33What did Holly's team get?
39:35What did they find?
39:36Nada.
39:36Holly very likely.
39:38Nothing in that car except this one case.
39:47Okay?
39:48But nothing.
39:49Absolutely nothing.
39:50So, zip.
39:52Oh, what's that, sir?
39:53Hmm?
39:54Something to do with the case?
39:55Oh, team reviews.
39:57Which, as we all know, are due this month.
40:00So, that makes sense that I'd be printing it now.
40:02Thanks.
40:04Thanks.
40:05Thanks.
40:06Thanks.
40:07Thanks.
40:08Thanks.
40:09Thanks.
40:10Something to do with the bells?
40:32I mean, why do they even have bells?
40:34Used to be a kitchen.
40:35Can I just...
40:37No, that wouldn't mean...
40:40Which doesn't make sense.
40:45Unless...
40:46Are those the bank statements?
40:49Can I see them again, please?
40:50No outgoing amount at all.
40:54Not a single penny.
40:56Okay, so what?
40:57So, I thought Lady Bryce said he'd paid in advance.
41:00Maybe he'd pay cash.
41:01Paying in any form isn't exactly his forte.
41:05This only goes back two months.
41:07Yes, that's when he registered for business.
41:09Would you mind going back a bit further?
41:12A year ought to do it.
41:14And would you mind seeing if all the telemarketers, everyone,
41:17can join us back at Bryce Manor?
41:19Why?
41:21Because I already know exactly what's going to be on that statement.
41:26And where to find Mr. Williams.
41:32Oh, you are again.
41:34Well, of course you are.
41:35I can't remember a time when you weren't here.
41:37See?
41:38It wasn't anything in the room that changed.
41:40It was the room itself.
41:42The wallpaper has shifted.
41:44Only marginally.
41:45Less than a centimetre, but it's shifted.
41:47See the pattern?
41:48Honestly, no.
41:51Well, trust me.
41:52It's shifted.
41:53Excuse me.
41:53You can't...
41:54This is a...
41:56Yes, this is a partition wall.
41:58This section of wallpaper has been stripped and reapplied.
42:01Except you didn't quite line it up again properly afterwards.
42:05I've no idea what you're talking about.
42:07This whole section of wall will have to be cut out.
42:09And what if I say no?
42:11You'd be rather pointlessly delaying the inevitable, I suppose.
42:15A door.
42:30A pantry blocked off very cheaply, but surprisingly effectively, back whenever this became the reception.
42:39And behind which is either coincidental evidence of a completely unconnected crime we know absolutely nothing about,
42:45or the dead body of Peter Williams.
42:49Oh, my God.
42:55Mmm.
42:57Oh, you stinks.
43:03Oh.
43:07Looks like it's option B.
43:12Oh, here we go.
43:15Look, what exactly are we all doing here?
43:20We're investigating a murder, Mr. Barkley.
43:23We found the body.
43:25He's dead.
43:25Oh, God.
43:26Oh, my God.
43:28Peter, like.
43:29Oh, God.
43:31Oh, lads.
43:32Is he all right?
43:34Oh, Peter.
43:35No, no, no, no, no.
43:37Poor Peter.
43:38That is awful.
43:39That is really...
43:41Oh.
43:41You were a silent partner.
43:46One who'd bought in for a lot more than £500.
43:49£10,000 transferred from your account to his eight months ago.
43:53Bryce Manor was supposed to be the location of this fantasy spa of his, wasn't it?
43:58At least that's what he told you.
44:00He came here with his wife about a year ago, talked to me a lot about the place, and then
44:08he came back a few months later with a zero-risk investment opportunity.
44:16His words.
44:17That £10,000 was the last of my savings.
44:23Though a spa and wellness retreat with an exclusive high-paying membership would certainly
44:29have turned those fortunes around for you.
44:31If it had been real, of course.
44:33I'm not a stupid woman, Detective.
44:39But desperation and naivety go hand in hand.
44:43I wanted my home back.
44:46So I believed him.
44:49Camilla Bryce, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
44:52You do not have to say anything.
44:53Anything you do say might be held against you.
44:55Oh, I doubt she killed him.
44:57Sorry?
44:58Well, I mean, she could hardly have done all that by herself, could she?
45:01It took two officers just to remove the panel from the wall just now.
45:06Right.
45:07Okay, but you just said...
45:08I mean, you should probably arrest her anyway.
45:12If that's okay.
45:14But it's very unlikely she was the killer.
45:17Right.
45:17Who is then?
45:24Not sure.
45:27Does anyone want to confess?
45:31Fair enough.
45:38Probably doesn't matter.
45:39You were all involved.
45:42I'm sure I can make a fairly educated guess at a sequence of events based on simple deduction
45:47and reasoning.
45:48I mean, I did it before, so...
45:51Okay, here we go.
45:54One of you found out about the collapse of this so-called company you'd all been cajoled into contributing to.
46:00Presumably confronted him.
46:02Look at this.
46:05He's had five good businesses.
46:06He panics, of course.
46:17I imagine it came as just as much a surprise to him as it did to you.
46:22But by this point, you've all learned about it.
46:27Come on!
46:28We do know he checked out.
46:31We saw that.
46:32Clearly he didn't get very far.
46:36Did you attack him deliberately or...
46:49Or was it some kind of accident?
46:51Or was it some kind of accident?
47:08It was a bit of both.
47:11It was a bit of both.
47:13You found it with the body.
47:39I was supposed to be serving dinner.
47:42They weren't there.
47:43It was an accident.
47:54He...
47:55He stole from us!
47:57He stole from you?
48:06You were all victims.
48:08Or at least saw yourselves as such.
48:10He should have been going to prison, shouldn't he?
48:14Why should any of you?
48:18Quite.
48:19We should get him inside.
48:21After that, it was a case of turning off that camera in there, which apparently just involves unplugging the reception computer, something it seems you do every night anyway, so it was very unlikely to raise suspicion.
48:34And then getting to work.
48:35And then getting to work, removing the section of wall, moving the body, and replacing the wall panel and paper.
48:43Fortunately for us, not quite as accurately as you should have done.
48:48All that was left then was a simple four-hour round trip to a notorious suicide hotspot, which, depressingly, one of you knew about.
48:59And it was as if he'd never even been here, despite, as my initial hunch suggested, having never actually left.
49:14Uh, sir, what about Mr. Barclay?
49:23I don't actually know what he's doing here.
49:25Oh, you just said to bring everyone go off, so...
49:27I didn't mean him.
49:28He's got nothing to do with it.
49:29I doubt he's got any idea what's even happening right now.
49:33Uh, no, yes, yes, I do.
49:37I mean, sounds like they've worked as a team.
49:47You must be very proud.
49:54Just arrest her.
50:03I've got to be honest, Gov, you had me worried for a bit there.
50:11You know, standing, watching our police officers ripping the walls from a listed building,
50:17did feel a tad career-ending.
50:24I've never been so relieved to see a corpse in my life.
50:27Why have we stopped?
50:29Whose house is this?
50:31Mrs. Williams, do you mind if you come inside?
50:41Mrs. Williams, do you mind if you come inside?
51:02No?
51:09That never gets any easier.
51:14I used to remember your first one?
51:18As if it was today.
51:31Oh, there you are. How did it... Oh dear, are you okay?
51:45James didn't just vanish. He left breadcrumbs, coded messages, a puzzle. His disappearance
51:55was prepared in advance by him. My brother isn't dead? Yes, I know that.
52:04You hope it. I know it. No, John, you hope it. I know it. Thank you.
52:12The Sinclair case is Roger Sinclair, single man, disturbed a burglar who then killed him
52:19in a panic of self-preservation. And that's it. That's the whole thing. They got the guy,
52:25case closed. James didn't even seem to be involved in it. So why is that name being
52:30scribbled in notebooks, whispered by superintendents, and hidden behind passwords?
52:36It says he here is a blogger. Have you Googled him?
52:39No, I think we both know the answer to that question, don't we?
52:43We need to trace this fax number.
52:46What fax number?
52:47Oh, goodness me. It is like a bat. Apparently Dad sent a fax on the day he...
52:53You know, I mean, goodness knows who to. I don't know anybody who still has a fax machine.
52:57What, apart from us, you mean?
53:00Dad's got one. It's bottomed up in his office.
53:04What? He's still got that?
53:08Can you fax yourself?
53:15There's not much about Sinclair online.
53:18Well, if he did have a blog, he's taken it down.
53:21There's only one mention of his death. Local newspaper.
53:25Er, nothing here that's not in the report.
53:28Wait.
53:31Make that picture come back up the screen again.
53:34You mean scroll down?
53:35Yes, scroll down.
53:39Okay, well that one was certainly easier to match than a wallpaper pan.
53:45It's the same house.
53:46Yes, it is.
53:47I've got it working.
53:48What have you got? Let me see.
53:52Oh, it's just another copy of the Sinclair crime scene report.
53:55No. Something's changed.
53:58Oh, don't start all this again.
54:00But it has.
54:02Look, it's dated a day earlier.
54:04James is down as lead detective.
54:06There's no mention of a break-in or burglary,
54:09and he describes the murder as appearing professional.
54:13It's official.
54:14Superintendent Shaw signed it off, see?
54:16Then 24 hours later, a completely different report,
54:20a completely different detective.
54:22Suddenly there was a break-in.
54:23There was a burglary.
54:24There's even an arrest.
54:27And look who signed off this one.
54:31Chief Constable Ziegler.
54:33Do we know anything about this guy?
54:34Not yet.
54:36But there's one thing I know for certain.
54:40He's definitely not D.I. Carter's niece.
