00:58Mr. Franklin?
01:29In you go for breakfast.
01:51Look, look.
01:53Ta-da!
01:55Oh, is that for me?
01:56Yeah, I believe so.
01:58Unless your scaly friend over there has been using your prime membership to restock his supply freeze-dried beetles.
02:11Rather puzzle?
02:15I'm afraid I have some rather bad news, Patience.
02:19It's about your favourite writer, Harry Franklin.
02:21Sorry, sir, I was...
02:32I can see.
02:33This is the first Sunday I've had often more than a month.
02:35Yeah, well, I was on the third tee.
02:37Oh, you were playing golf?
02:38Does the name Harry Franklin mean anything to you?
02:45The crime writer?
02:46Yeah, he's found dead in his flat.
02:48Doors bolted from the inside.
02:50Now, look, I want this tied off before it becomes, you know, a thing.
02:54Please, baffled by mystery death of best-selling crime writer.
02:57Exactly.
02:58Have you contacted Parsons?
02:59Yeah, she's been there an hour.
03:01Harry Franklin's dead.
03:22Yeah.
03:23How do you know?
03:24Er, Mr. Gilmore, he told me.
03:27Who the hell told him?
03:28It sounds like a locked room mystery.
03:31No mystery.
03:32He killed himself.
03:33Right, but in his book, A Crooked Man,
03:35the famous writer appears to have killed himself,
03:36and then we find out...
03:37Do you want to see for yourself?
03:38Er, yes, yes.
03:40I...
03:41I...
03:58I'm sorry.
04:19Sorry.
04:20I'm sorry.
04:50You worked it out yet?
05:06This might be more of a challenge.
05:07Patience?
05:28Hmm?
05:29Pop these on.
05:30Oh, thanks.
05:33What are we dealing with?
05:34Er, well, preliminary indications suggest potassium cyanide is the cause of death.
05:38Oh, hydrogen cyanide.
05:40Er, potassium cyanide is more common.
05:41Hmm, not in this case, it's not.
05:44Well, the lab will confirm, by the way.
05:48Just let her do her job.
05:50People don't like to be contradicted in public.
05:54Boss?
05:56I'll just be a minute.
05:57Okay.
05:57Mr. Franklin usually responds promptly to phone messages.
06:05When he hadn't run back in three days, I was concerned.
06:07And you are?
06:09Kelvin Fitzwalter, per donor publishing.
06:11You publish Mr. Franklin's books?
06:13No.
06:14We were hoping to.
06:15We contracted him to write a memoir.
06:17So, when did you last see him?
06:19Today's the first time I've ever set eyes on him.
06:20Never came to your office?
06:22Oh, Mr. Franklin never left the building.
06:23He didn't own a computer or a mobile.
06:25We only ever talked on his landline.
06:27You gave him a contract based on a few chats on the phone?
06:29When someone like him offers you their memoirs, you don't say no.
06:32So, what about you?
06:33Well, I spoke to him maybe three days ago.
06:37He asked me to post a letter.
06:38Did you happen to notice the address?
06:40I respect the resident's privacy.
06:42Has he had any visitors since?
06:44None that I saw, and, er, my desk is right by the front door.
06:56Right.
06:56Are you sure?
06:58Is it?
06:58Indeed.
06:59Definitely.
07:00Oh.
07:00No, it's OK.
07:01Yeah.
07:01Thanks for that.
07:03Yep.
07:03OK.
07:04Bye.
07:04Bye.
07:05Er, that was the lab.
07:07Swabs from the glass show traces of HCN.
07:11Hydrogen cyanide.
07:12You were right.
07:12Yes, I was.
07:15Smells of almonds and Harry's favourite macurie.
07:18The killer must have known that.
07:20Except we don't think he was killed.
07:21And why are you whispering?
07:23What?
07:24Dee, I met Carlson that if I'm to contradict you, I shouldn't do it publicly.
07:29So, were there traces of HCN in the amaretta bottle?
07:32I have a lot to get home with.
07:42Please don't touch anything.
08:08Patience?
08:30Patience?
08:30What happened?
08:48Something the matter?
09:00I don't have to talk about it.
09:30To make the correct patterns, the player must be able to see things from multiple perspectives.
09:41Patience.
09:43I got carried away at a crime scene and I touched something that I shouldn't have.
09:51Oh dear.
09:53Now Detective Bea won't want me as her investigative assistant.
09:59We all made mistakes.
10:02I don't know.
10:04Nineteen minutes late.
10:06I didn't think we'd be seeing you today.
10:08Were there traces of HCN found in the Amaretta bottle?
10:10Or were there traces of HCN found in any receptacle in the flat?
10:14Slow down.
10:15Okay.
10:16Were there traces of HCN found in a receptacle that could have been thrown out the window
10:17and I don't know.
10:18I don't know.
10:19I don't know.
10:20I don't know.
10:21I don't know.
10:22I don't know.
10:23I don't know.
10:24I don't know.
10:25I don't know.
10:26I don't know.
10:27I don't know.
10:28I don't know.
10:29I don't know.
10:30Nineteen minutes late.
10:31I didn't think we'd be seeing you today.
10:33Were there traces of HCN found in the Amaretta bottle?
10:35Or were there traces of HCN found in any receptacle in the flat?
10:39Slow down.
10:40Were there traces of HCN found in a receptacle that could have been thrown out the window of
10:44his apartment?
10:45I'll check with friends here.
10:47Is it okay?
10:48Okay.
10:49Erm.
10:50I wanted to say sorry as well.
10:53This is everything that I could find on Harry Franklin.
10:56I was up most of the night.
10:58So I used red pen because it felt like the right colour for those questions.
11:02That's...
11:04It's very helpful.
11:13Can you believe it?
11:14More than ninety comments.
11:17Most of them think he was murdered.
11:18He was.
11:20Patience has questioned how the cyanide got into Harry Franklin's glass if he killed himself.
11:24There's no traces of the poison in the Amaretta bottle or in any receptacle found in his flat other than in his glass.
11:30Well, he's a crime writer.
11:32He threw it out of the window to confuse us.
11:35Uniform search to vicinity.
11:37Somebody put it in and left.
11:38But the door was bolted from the inside.
11:40Well, maybe he showed them out.
11:41The poison's too fast acting.
11:43And besides, the caretaker was adamant.
11:45No visitors.
11:46So he kept it in the glass until the right moment.
11:48It would have evaporated.
11:51Sounds like a locked room mystery.
11:54If we can't account for how Harry got the cyanide into his own drink, then we have to assume some form of third-party involvement.
12:10Let's pull in CCTV images from outside the flat.
12:13Everybody's favourite job.
12:14I know.
12:15You're so good at it.
12:16See who came and went.
12:17When and why.
12:18Did you follow up on the paperwork we found at Harry's flat?
12:21Yeah, the bank's offshore, and they won't play ball without a court order.
12:24What a surprise.
12:25Let's get one.
12:26We did dig this out, though.
12:28Two months ago, Harry opens his first domestic account in 20 years.
12:32Completely different to the bank.
12:33That six-figure deposit paid in by Pardona Publishing the very same day for his memoirs, presumably.
12:39Except there was nothing resembling memoirs or notes for memoirs in the gubbins we found in his flat.
12:43Maybe he just hadn't started.
12:44Or maybe somebody cleared it all out.
12:46We know some of his papers are missing.
12:48Dear Lottie, thank you for your reply to my letter.
12:51Where's the reply?
12:52The Sockos didn't find it.
12:53So, who has interest in preventing the memoirs from being published?
12:57What about his ex-publisher?
12:58Pippa Juno, half-penny publishing.
13:03It's practically a one-woman operation.
13:05Who's just watched her pot of gold walk out the door?
13:08Maybe she called her in for a chat.
13:10Harry's a creature of habit.
13:12Same offshore bank account for 20 years.
13:14I want to know why change it now.
13:16When the customers get a company toy?
13:21He paid a tidy sum for his memoirs.
13:26That was just the advance.
13:28Reckon they were going to be worth it.
13:31Look, his books have sold 18 million copies.
13:34They bring thousands of people to York each year.
13:37Haven't you heard of the Fortnum Mystery Weekends?
13:39Can I see them?
13:41These fabulous memoirs?
13:42He hadn't delivered anything.
13:43Oh.
13:44Well, there's nothing in his flat.
13:47Reckon he was playing you?
13:49No.
13:50Absolutely not.
13:51No immediate family, no real friends, barely leaves the house.
13:54Doesn't sound like much of a life to write about.
13:58There was going to be a section on the fire that almost killed him.
14:02Plus, he promised to reveal that the public and the literary world would find absolutely explosive.
14:08Writers retreat, the fire that destroyed me, my life as a ghost, unmasked at last.
14:15They've been researching for months.
14:17Must be evidence of that.
14:18Barely a shred.
14:20We're trying to identify these people with Harry.
14:27Well, I have no idea who the woman is, but that is Edmund Lennox.
14:36He's one of our star writers.
14:39He's gone a bit greyer since then.
14:42Better day?
15:04Uh, yeah.
15:05Yeah.
15:06You fancy some lemonade?
15:07It's homemade.
15:08Uh, okay.
15:09There you go.
15:11Patience.
15:12We're just about...
15:13There are seven types of women.
15:14I'm sorry.
15:15I'm sorry.
15:16I'm sorry.
15:17There you go.
15:19You're not watching, Bob.
15:21So-
15:26Patience, we're just about...
15:39There are seven types of locked room mystery.
15:42Including the ice arrow in which the murder weapon disappears.
15:44Holly, on a...
15:46thought of a mystery weekend.
15:47The killer mixed cyanide and water
15:50and put it in the ice cube tray
15:51and then Harry Franklin put the frozen cube into his drink.
15:55That's brilliant.
15:56Can you get on to Parsons? Tell her to test the ice tray.
15:58And what about an interview with Juna?
16:00Patients can observe.
16:10When did you last speak to him?
16:13A month ago.
16:14What did you talk about?
16:16A new contract.
16:18But Harry had killed off Fortnum.
16:21I thought of a way to bring him back.
16:23How did he react?
16:24He was evasive.
16:26Then I found out he'd signed a deal with Pardonna.
16:28And when did you last see him?
16:30In person. Maybe a year ago?
16:33After he sent me the final Fortnum manuscript,
16:35I came to try and dissuade him.
16:36CCTV has you visiting his flat last Saturday.
16:40After waiting for the caretaker to leave,
16:42I knocked, got no reply.
16:44You looked pretty angry.
16:45Did I?
16:46Fortnum was your golden goose.
16:51In my office, I've got the typescript of the first Fortnum novel.
16:54Harry's first draft.
16:55Overblown, pretentious, a mess.
16:59Every other publisher had rejected it, but I saw a clever plot.
17:01Cut it to the bone, sent it back to him, said I'd publish it, but only in this form.
17:05He agreed.
17:07Six months later, it's a bestseller.
17:08I made him.
17:11I put up with his refusal to promote his work, his typescripts, his rudeness, and then out of the blue, I'm history.
17:17I'll tell you why I didn't want to be seen.
17:22If Harry had opened that door and treated me in that bloody condescending offhand way of his,
17:26I don't know what it would have done.
17:27Patients?
17:46Yes.
17:56Where are you?
17:58Er, I'm...
18:00Nobody actually comes in here.
18:02Do you want to come out?
18:10No, I don't.
18:12Shall we shout through the crate, then?
18:15Er, no.
18:21Do not touch anything.
18:23Okay?
18:24Okay?
18:32Why are you here?
18:38You were right about the, um, ice cubes.
18:41How would you feel about talking to Baxter, making your role with us official?
18:46Um, I found them.
18:49The people in the photograph.
18:53The fire claimed the life of Lisa Newman, 23, Harry Franklin, 24.
18:57He was taken to hospital with second-degree burns.
19:01A second man, Edmund Lennox, 24, also attended but was later released.
19:06Aldous Tate, who owns the cabin that was destroyed in the fire and runs a sundown writer's retreat,
19:12said he was devastated by Mrs. Newman's death.
19:14Yeah.
19:14So, it's the incident report that Harry Franklin requested a copy of two weeks ago.
19:20To help research his memoirs?
19:21Yeah.
19:23He also requested access to Lisa Newman's post-mortem.
19:26I mean, the findings were inconclusive, but...
19:30It could have been started deliberately.
19:31Possibly.
19:34But Dona could put us in touch with the other man in the photo, Edmund Lennox.
19:46It must have been a shock, Mr. Lennox.
19:49That's an understatement.
19:51I've known Harry since we were 17.
19:53You both have the same model.
19:57Yeah.
19:58Dared each other to buy those with our student grants.
20:02Commit to being a writer.
20:04Harry loved The Clatcher of the Keys.
20:06Wrote all his novels on it.
20:07And mine just sat there, glaring at me, telling me not to give up.
20:11You were never tempted.
20:12To write detective fiction.
20:14God, no.
20:15My ambitions lay on a higher plane.
20:21Tell me about Lisa Newman.
20:23Lisa.
20:26What can I say?
20:28Her death shattered Harry.
20:31Turned him into a recluse.
20:33And a writer.
20:34Although it would be another five years before he created Fortnum.
20:38Was this taken at the retreat?
20:39Yes.
20:45Aldous Tate took it.
20:47The creep.
20:48Why do you call him that?
20:50Harry told me that he, Aldous, tried it on with Lisa.
20:54She found him a bit scary.
20:56Did Lisa have a twin sister?
20:57I believe she did.
21:02Yes.
21:03Leave that, please.
21:06If you must handle my books.
21:08Here.
21:10Have one of these.
21:16When did you last visit, Harry?
21:19Must have been a while back.
21:22Are you treating his death as suspicious?
21:24Did you know he was writing a memoir?
21:25I didn't.
21:26No.
21:27But I'm not surprised.
21:29I mean, every writer cranks one out eventually.
21:31If they lived long enough.
21:39Oh, you bought a copy?
21:41A gift.
21:42He insisted on signing it.
21:43Well, we've got a gift for you too, and I think you're going to like this one.
21:47But first, bad news, Will.
21:50There is another entrance to the apartment block, ma'am, via the car park.
21:53But it's not covered by CCTV.
21:55Right.
21:56Now, the good.
22:00Facial recognition picked him up.
22:06Convicted of assault, 2015.
22:08Aldous Tate.
22:09He's featured in the news coverage about the fire, ran the sand in writer's retreat, owned the log cabin that burned down, killing Lisa Newman, scarring Harry Franklin for life.
22:18And the PNC says Tate assaulted the boyfriend of a student that accused him of sexual harassment.
22:24A bunch of other women came forward, and the university had to fire him.
22:26Lennox said Tate made unwanted advances towards Lisa Newman as well.
22:30And patients dug out the original fire report, could have been started on purpose.
22:35I checked Harry Franklin's phone records.
22:38He'd called Aldous Tate four times in the past two weeks.
22:40todos Hartman's phone records.
22:41only in the past two weeks.
22:42his two days before 11 years.
22:43only the majority of one's children.
22:44No mão cambio susp redundancy.
22:46Only in the past two weeks.
22:47But then Ted raised his horn andög loyalty.
22:48So for late
23:07Hiya. We're looking for Aldous Tate. He's around somewhere. He was daughter. I'm his wife.
23:27Excuse me. It's really pie. Are you Aldous Tate? What do you want?
23:37This is humiliating. Yeah, well, we have to test your clothes.
23:56Why did you visit Harry's flat? He wanted to talk. About the fire.
24:02About Lisa Newman, more specifically.
24:07She was an attractive young woman. I've said all I'm ever going to about Lisa Newman.
24:13You took that photograph of Edmund Lennox, Lisa and Harry Franklin.
24:18No comment.
24:23I want my lawyer.
24:24I want my lawyer.
24:37I finished it.
24:51I haven't got past page 20.
24:52Well, I'm a fast reader. Hyperlexia is the medical term.
24:56Right.
24:56So, at first, I thought, this is terrible. There's no puzzle. But then I realised, there is one.
25:02Lennox didn't write this.
25:04What?
25:04It was written by Harry Franklin.
25:06What makes you think that?
25:08It has the same cadences, the same syntactical constructs, the same narrator's voice as all of the Fortnum novels.
25:15I think we need a bit more than similar writing.
25:17Identical writing. And the Jacquard Index will prove it.
25:20I have no idea what that is.
25:21It's a similarity coefficient.
25:24I can't believe you didn't know that.
25:25Well, let's see what Lennox has to say.
25:35So, how may I help you?
25:38My colleague's read your book.
25:41She's hyperlexic.
25:45Did you enjoy it?
25:47Oh, no, I didn't enjoy it.
25:50Who cares?
25:51You didn't write it.
25:55Oh, I was sure I did.
25:57Let me see.
26:02No, that is definitely me.
26:05Harry Franklin wrote it.
26:06The Jacquard Index will prove it.
26:08Why would he use your name, Mr. Lennox?
26:13It's...
26:13It's not a crime.
26:19We'll be a judge of that.
26:20Harry thought the critics didn't take him seriously.
26:32He wanted to write something literary.
26:35Prove them wrong.
26:38Our plan was to reveal all.
26:40But only after the reviews were out and it had been judged on its merits, not on his name.
26:47Then, Adam's Island was shortlisted for one of the better literary prizes.
26:54We agreed to hold off the big reveal until we found out if it had won.
26:58Since I heard about his death, I admit I have been wondering whether it might not be a better idea to just allow our secret to be buried with him.
27:12Met car?
27:14Great.
27:15On my way.
27:17Traces of cyanide on Tate's clothing.
27:19I've got him.
27:19Mr. Tate.
27:49My client won't be answering any more questions.
27:53Release him.
27:53Or charge him.
27:59Aldous Tate, you were charged with the murder of Harry Franklin.
28:03You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something that you later rely on in court.
28:11Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
28:19Come in.
28:30Come in.
28:35Here you go.
28:36I'm...
28:39I don't know.
28:42I...
28:42I've only looked at this from one perspective, and I'm starting to think the reverse might also be true.
28:52I don't understand.
28:54Well, why would someone with a badly damaged hand use a manual typewriter?
28:59Are you saying that you don't think Harry Franklin wrote the Fortnum novels?
29:04I don't know.
29:05I'm saying...
29:07I'm saying that...
29:09I admired him as a writer, and...
29:13Well, I've let that cloud my judgement.
29:15Good morning.
29:33Good morning.
29:34Uh, DCI Bexler is not receiving anyone at the moment.
29:37Excuse me.
29:41Calvin.
29:42Marissa.
29:42Marissa.
29:45According to this, hydrogen cyanide occurs naturally in certain plants.
29:52Millets, sprouts, cassava roots, lima beans, all grown by Aldis Tate's wife.
29:59DI Metcalfe was also in the greenhouse.
30:01She will also have traces of HCN on her clothing.
30:03Are you going to charge her too?
30:07Release my client immediately, or I will see you for wrongful arrest.
30:10Mr. Tate.
30:31We've got a suspect in the room on the day that the guy died.
30:35Traces of cyanide on his clothes.
30:37What more do they want?
30:38Boss?
30:57Puts a different perspective on it.
30:59Traces of cyanide on his clothes.
31:01Patience, it's Detective B.
31:26Here you go.
31:27Harry's first Fortnum manuscript.
31:28Could I...? It's not a holy relic.
31:40So, Harry Franklin didn't write the full-on novels.
31:45In his dear Lottie letter and his typewriter,
31:47which we assume he did write,
31:49the indentations on the left-hand keys are much weaker and...
31:53Well, on these pages, there's no discernible difference
31:57between the keys you'd strike with your left hand
31:59and the ones you'd strike with your right.
32:04I'm sorry, I gave you bad advice.
32:06Why would Lennox lie about it?
32:08I... What do you think?
32:10I don't... I...
32:13I think I'm not cut out to be your investigative assistant.
32:16I think I'd just like to go home.
32:19Patience?
32:27I don't know.
32:45Just... I feel like I'm not...
32:47I'm not doing anything right.
32:49And... I don't know.
32:51Yeah.
32:53Self-doubt.
32:54The way Patience is describing it is common.
32:58But perhaps for us due to trauma in the past,
33:00it can be extreme.
33:02We can be...
33:03drawn to thinking in absolutes.
33:05Everything is all or nothing.
33:07Yeah.
33:08Yeah.
33:10Your father was a police officer, Patience.
33:12And I decorated one at that.
33:15Yeah.
33:16So that's a lot to live up to.
33:46Done.
33:47We were sprelled.
33:49Are we restaurants?
33:50Yes, we've marked an Islamic occurrence.
33:54Ah, yes.
33:55Hey, I...
33:56Hi.
33:57Hiya.
33:58Hi!
33:59Hiya!
34:00Hello!
34:01Hiya!
34:03Hiya!
34:04Hiya.
34:07Hiya!
34:09Hiya!
34:10Hiya!
34:12Hiya!
34:13Hiya!
34:14After I've gotten an Xbox or an iPhone
34:15Almonds?
34:23Cyanide.
34:27Found in the boots.
34:30Looks like an ounce.
34:33From Harry Franklin's lost memoirs.
34:45I cannot believe we had Harry Franklin's killer in custody, and we let him go.
34:51What, the cause of death for Tate, sir, it's exactly the same MO as used to kill Harry Franklin.
34:55Hydrogen cyanide.
34:57Yeah, the forensics don't indicate any third-party involvement.
35:00CCTV places Tate at the scene of the murder on the day that Harry died.
35:04We've got to assume that he stole the notes for Harry's memoirs that we found in the car.
35:09Asked Tate to visit, said I needed help to research what really happened with the fire.
35:13He the minded payment. £2,000 agreed.
35:16Worth it to see his face when I tell him I know he killed Lisa.
35:20This sounds like supposition.
35:22I digitised Lisa Newman's post-mortem images.
35:25The same ones Harry Franklin requested as part of his research.
35:30Now this is not a heat-related lesion.
35:34This is a stubble. Look at the clean line.
35:37Well, why wasn't it noticed at the time?
35:39Well, modern topographical techniques can pick it up, but not in the 90s.
35:44All right, so you've given me a possible motive for Tate murdering Harry Franklin.
35:48To stop him exposing him for the murder of Lisa Newman 20-plus years ago.
35:53But what was Tate's motive for killing himself?
35:56He had the notes. Harry was dead.
35:59The memoirs aren't going to see the light of day.
36:00Care to honour us with an insight?
36:08Not until I've shown these to a colleague in criminal records, sir.
36:12Yeah, this was typed by the same person who wrote the dear Lottie letter.
36:25On the same typewriter, it would appear.
36:28Are you sure?
36:28Oh, yeah.
36:31Good.
36:32What you're looking at is the letter Harry sent to Lottie requesting information about her sister Lisa just before he was killed.
36:39Yeah.
36:40Look at this.
36:41Well, this was typed by a completely different person on a different machine.
36:53Well, it's the one that was used to type the Fortman manuscripts we looked at.
36:56I'm...
36:57I'm certain of it.
37:02It's one of the pages of Harry's notes we found in Tate's car, but Edmund Lennox wrote them.
37:07We've got them, thanks to you.
37:20You wrote the Fortman novels, Edmund.
37:23Do you have proof of that?
37:24We can prove Harry Franklin didn't.
37:26We had an expert analyse the pages of the first Fortman manuscript.
37:30It shouldn't be too difficult to match them to the Olivetti typewriter on your client's desk.
37:35I'd call it typing, not writing, but yes.
37:39Fortman was my creation.
37:44So what?
37:45But you despise crime fiction.
37:47Samuel Johnson almost said only a fool would write crime fiction for anything other than money.
37:52You certainly made plenty of that.
37:53For the tape, I'm showing a letter from the Tortuga National Bank in the Cayman Islands, dated October 2004.
38:02An offshore account, open and closed by you, but in the name of Edmund Lennox and Harry Franklin.
38:07We've got a court order, Edmund.
38:08And you paid Harry an awful lot of money.
38:16For research.
38:18For the tape, we are showing three items.
38:21A letter typed by Harry Franklin to Lisa Newman's sister.
38:24A page from the typescript of the first Fortman novel.
38:30In notes.
38:31For Harry Franklin's memoir.
38:34Recovered from Aldous Tate's car.
38:35Because of the burns to his left hand when Harry typed, the keys on the left side of the typewriter made a weaker indentation than those on the right.
38:44Harry's letter to Lottie is very distinct from the notes found in Tate's car.
38:49This was typed by Harry.
38:51These were typed by you.
38:54You didn't pay him for research.
38:56It was blood money paid out of guilt.
38:57Well...
38:57Harry was my friend.
39:01He suffered.
39:08You have no idea.
39:11The burns, the loss of the girl he loved.
39:15He...
39:15Yeah.
39:19Did what I could to support him.
39:23I'm sure you tried to convince yourself of that over the years, but...
39:27Then you discover Harry's writing a memoir.
39:29No.
39:29I told you, I had no idea.
39:32You're lying, Edmund.
39:34We spoke again to Kelvin Fitzwater.
39:37He told you, over dinner, that Pardone had signed Harry.
39:41About Harry's research and the explosive reveal.
39:47You realised he was going to tell the world that you've murdered his girlfriend?
39:49That's utter nonsense.
39:56We spoke to Lisa's sister.
39:59It wasn't Tate she was scared of.
40:01It was you.
40:03Lisa Newman died from a knife wound.
40:07You set fire to the cabin to cover your tracks.
40:11You staged Harry's death to look like a suicide.
40:13When that unravelled, you tried to frame Tate, lured him with the promise of money, poisoned him, left Harry's notes in his car.
40:20Except they weren't Harry's notes.
40:21You made them up.
40:22The success I had with Adam's Island, I took to be a sign.
40:39I no longer had to expend my talent on Fortnum.
40:43Paid Harry reparations enough.
40:50Then I found out he's not only cashing in on the fame I'd given him, but he's about to expose me.
41:03So you killed Harry Franklin?
41:04I had no choice.
41:14And Elvis Tate?
41:15Oh, no.
41:15No loss.
41:17And Lisa Newman?
41:22A crim passionale.
41:23When she told me that she preferred Harry, I had a moment of blind, black, fathomless rage.
41:46Interview suspended, 1740.
41:48This is a letter from Harry Franklin that Boderna Publishing found in their postroom this morning.
41:58The explosive reveal he was planning.
42:02He didn't write the Fortnum novels.
42:04He blamed Aldous Tate for Lisa's death, not you.
42:18You had no reason to kill him.
42:27You had no reason to kill him.
42:48It's a puzzle box.
43:11Oh.
43:12Is it?
43:13Easy to open.
43:14Uh, I don't know.
43:19I've never tried.
43:21You left a puzzle unsolved.
43:27Who's Matilda Hendricks?
43:34It's my mother.
43:38It's the only thing she didn't take with her before she left.
43:40Oh.
43:44Have you ever tried to contact her?
43:51Why would I want to do that?
43:52Why would I want to do that?
43:52Why would I want to do that?
43:53Oh,
44:03I am so close to who she wants.
44:04No,
44:04I am not.
44:05I was going to take my memory somewhere.
44:06It would be so close.
44:07I was wrong.
44:09I am too close to my house.
44:11I am fine.
44:13Bye.
44:15Bye.
44:16Bye.
44:16Bye.
44:17Bye.
44:17Bye.
44:18Bye,
44:18Bye.
44:20Bye.
44:21Bye.
