00:00:00I'll show him.
00:00:08Oh, an absolute disgrace.
00:00:11That's what it is.
00:00:12You're a plater nutter.
00:00:16See how he likes it when no one turns out.
00:00:21This will teach him.
00:00:28Hi.
00:00:28They've been at it all morning.
00:00:30It's killing my business.
00:00:31That's what I've seen.
00:00:32They're all over the village.
00:00:41Blue or grey?
00:00:44I prefer the grey.
00:00:47Blue it is, then.
00:00:48Brad!
00:01:01Hi.
00:01:01Good, good.
00:01:02Good to see you.
00:01:03Thanks for coming.
00:01:05Did Brad rob a jewelers?
00:01:07I'd have stolen the crown jewels to get Frankie to say yes.
00:01:10What's with your peck?
00:01:15They can't even stretch to real champagne.
00:01:17Well, this is a step up for them.
00:01:19I was expecting tap water.
00:01:23Cordelia, hi.
00:01:25I'm not drinking this.
00:01:26It's not real champagne.
00:01:27I don't know what you're smiling about.
00:01:34The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:37Fear not, my dear.
00:01:38Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:41What's that mean?
00:01:42Oh, what have you done now?
00:01:44There's nothing else.
00:01:46No, unfortunately not.
00:01:50Oh, they're beautiful.
00:01:53Thank you, Kim and Eve.
00:01:55I was hoping you might hire me to do the flowers on your big day.
00:01:59Yeah, we're not really making any clear-cut decisions yet.
00:02:04It's good to see you.
00:02:05Are you all right?
00:02:06I think I'm getting a cold.
00:02:07It might be over the moon for Frankie.
00:02:16This is me being over the moon.
00:02:22Who the hell is that?
00:02:24Yes!
00:02:26It's amazing, isn't it?
00:02:29My mum used to tell me about this place.
00:02:33Why have you stopped?
00:02:35Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:37Yes.
00:02:37You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:39I can't do this on my own.
00:02:41You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:42Not me.
00:02:44Come on, guys!
00:02:45Nah, I presume.
00:03:06How shall we handle this?
00:03:08Like Livingston and Stanley?
00:03:09It's...
00:03:10It's a bigger moment than that.
00:03:12Oh.
00:03:13Oh!
00:03:13Oh!
00:03:15Yeah.
00:03:15Um...
00:03:16Girls, I want you to meet your uncle.
00:03:19We don't have an uncle.
00:03:20What on earth is going on?
00:03:22Myrtle, this is my half-brother Noah,
00:03:24and suffice to say,
00:03:25until recently,
00:03:27neither of us knew the other existed.
00:03:29Hi.
00:03:29Well,
00:03:31it's great to meet you all.
00:03:36I didn't want to turn up
00:03:38empty-handed.
00:03:41Oh,
00:03:41that's, um,
00:03:42that's lovely.
00:03:43Uh-huh.
00:03:44Time
00:03:51starts now,
00:03:53as they say.
00:03:55Oh,
00:03:56nice.
00:04:01Oh!
00:04:06Coo-coo!
00:04:07Wow.
00:04:10Come on, everyone.
00:04:11Let's get a photo of you all by the clock.
00:04:13Come on, guys.
00:04:14Carl,
00:04:14it's a big moment!
00:04:17Old family,
00:04:18new family,
00:04:20family of the future.
00:04:21I'm not family.
00:04:22Just smile and say cheese.
00:04:25Fries.
00:04:27Coo-coo!
00:04:28Coo-coo!
00:04:31Love.
00:04:32Hang on.
00:04:33We need the happy couple in the middle.
00:04:35Oh, yeah.
00:04:36Come on.
00:04:37Am I going to get my share?
00:04:39You have your reward
00:04:40for marrying my daughter.
00:04:41That's not what we...
00:04:42Agreed, Alan.
00:04:42It's Sarah,
00:04:43I love you, to you.
00:04:46Oh, very nice.
00:04:49That's it?
00:04:50Well done, everyone!
00:04:51Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:05:21Come on, come on.
00:05:51Come on, come on.
00:06:21Come on.
00:06:22Come on.
00:06:23Come on.
00:06:24Come on.
00:06:25Come on.
00:06:26Come on.
00:06:27Come on.
00:06:28Come on.
00:06:29Come on.
00:06:30Come on.
00:06:31Come on.
00:06:32Come on.
00:06:33Come on.
00:06:34Come on.
00:06:35Come on.
00:06:36Come on.
00:06:37Come on.
00:06:38Come on.
00:06:39Come on.
00:06:40Come on.
00:06:41Come on.
00:06:42Come on.
00:06:43I thought I was going to build this.
00:06:44Yeah.
00:06:45You did think that.
00:06:46And then I decided it needs doing properly.
00:06:49As you are well aware, my grandfather was a master carpenter.
00:06:53And as a carpenter, you make a brilliant detective.
00:07:00Oh, Winter.
00:07:01Sir.
00:07:02Oh.
00:07:03What are you building?
00:07:04What are you building?
00:07:05Well, if I do it, it's going to be in Arbor.
00:07:06And if John does it...
00:07:07Presumably there's a reason you're here this early.
00:07:11Ah, I thought it'd be this place.
00:07:12I almost came here last year.
00:07:13They have an annual flower festival.
00:07:14I didn't know you were into horticulture, Winter.
00:07:15No, I'm not.
00:07:16But this...
00:07:17Oh, I'm not.
00:07:18But this...
00:07:19Oh.
00:07:20Oh.
00:07:21Oh.
00:07:22Oh.
00:07:23Oh.
00:07:24Oh.
00:07:25Oh.
00:07:26Oh.
00:07:27Oh.
00:07:28Oh.
00:07:29Oh.
00:07:30Oh.
00:07:31Oh.
00:07:32Oh.
00:07:33Oh.
00:07:34Oh.
00:07:35Oh.
00:07:36Oh.
00:07:37Oh.
00:07:38Oh.
00:07:39Oh.
00:07:40The girl I was seeing was.
00:07:41And when you say you almost came here?
00:07:43Well, when she took one look at my house plants,
00:07:45she decided that I wasn't the one for her.
00:07:47Apparently I put the wrong perennials next to each other
00:07:49in the same pot.
00:07:50Small margins, Winter.
00:07:51Well, how am I supposed to know that some plants don't get on?
00:07:58Looks like more police are arriving.
00:08:04Do you think I should go up there?
00:08:07Then do what?
00:08:08I don't actually know.
00:08:09I mean, how do brothers brother?
00:08:10There.
00:08:12Where did you get to last night?
00:08:15I woke up when you weren't there.
00:08:16I, uh, I had a nightmare.
00:08:17I took a walk to calm down.
00:08:18Look.
00:08:19If your brother needs you, he will tell you.
00:08:20Look.
00:08:21If your brother needs you, he will tell you.
00:08:22Hello?
00:08:23Hello?
00:08:24Here's a new one for you.
00:08:25Hello?
00:08:26Here's a new one for you.
00:08:27The poor fellow.
00:08:28was picked.
00:08:29to death.
00:08:30Pecked.
00:08:31Pecked.
00:08:32Pecked.
00:08:33We didn't realize it was the murder weapon until it struck the eye.
00:08:34and...
00:08:35stabbed.
00:08:36one of my sockers.
00:08:37one of my sockers.
00:08:38as lucky as tall.
00:08:39Well, tall of them.
00:08:40tall of them.
00:08:41Well, tall of them.
00:08:42I think it was the murder weapon until it struck the eye and stabbed one of my sockers.
00:08:46hello.
00:08:51He is.
00:08:52Good.
00:08:53so close.
00:08:54.
00:08:55The poor fellow was pecked does.
00:08:57Pecked!
00:08:58We didn't realize it was the murder weapon until it struck the eye and stabbed one of my sockers.
00:09:13As lucky he is, tall.
00:09:14Well, I've seen everything now.
00:09:30The victim's name was Brad Furbank, aged 29.
00:09:35Time of death?
00:09:36Judging from his lividity and rigor,
00:09:38I'd say he'd been dead at least five hours.
00:09:41Well, that will put it about 3 o'clock this morning.
00:09:44Who found him?
00:09:45The lady of the house, Myrtle Bruce.
00:09:48She lives here with her husband, Sir Alan.
00:09:51Where was the clock hanging?
00:09:52It was level with that ghoulish portrait.
00:09:56The cuckoo stabbed Brad, and he came tumbling down the stairs.
00:10:01Well, it seems they were right all along.
00:10:04Time is indeed the enemy.
00:10:11I couldn't believe it.
00:10:12Brad was just lying at the foot of the stairs.
00:10:16What time was this?
00:10:17Probably about 7.
00:10:20You hadn't heard anything before that, say,
00:10:22around 3 this morning?
00:10:24I had a bit too much to drink last night.
00:10:28So I was out like a light.
00:10:33Don't look at me.
00:10:34I tend to sleep the sleep of the just.
00:10:37Quite.
00:10:39Tell me about Brad.
00:10:42Presumably he lived here with you.
00:10:43Oh, goodness, no.
00:10:45He's been staying at the Raging Stag.
00:10:47It's a pub in the village.
00:10:49Would either of you know why he came here in the middle of the night?
00:10:56I hadn't a clue what Brad was doing here.
00:10:59Presumably he was coming to see you.
00:11:00But he knew I was out last night with my friends, carrying on the celebrations.
00:11:07So it was our engagement party yesterday.
00:11:11It's all right.
00:11:12I'm here.
00:11:13When did you get back to Godly Manor?
00:11:15I didn't.
00:11:16My friends and I crashed at Cordelia's flat.
00:11:18I saw it.
00:11:19I can't believe this.
00:11:20I'm sorry.
00:11:21I just have a few more questions.
00:11:26When did you last see Brad?
00:11:27Yesterday evening, before I left with my friends.
00:11:31That was around 9, I think.
00:11:33And did anything untoward happen before then?
00:11:36Does the arrival of an uncle we never knew we had qualify?
00:11:39The clock was a gift from a brother-in-law I didn't know I had.
00:11:45It's a long story.
00:11:47I'd still like to hear it.
00:11:48Well, my father, Sir Percival Bruce, sired Noah out of wedlock.
00:11:54Noah?
00:11:55Noah Connoboy.
00:11:56Now, I had no idea he existed until the family solicitor told me at my father's funeral.
00:12:02Was this recently?
00:12:04Uh, it was about six weeks ago.
00:12:06So I asked Brad to search for him.
00:12:09He's very good at the Internet.
00:12:11Well, was.
00:12:12So, Noah turned up with the clock?
00:12:17Yes, he said that he'd made it especially for the occasion.
00:12:20Shall I save you some time?
00:12:22The only reason Noah's here is to claim his share.
00:12:26Oh, so you think Sir Alan was the intended target?
00:12:29A child of five could tell you that.
00:12:32So, off you trot and go and arrest Noah.
00:12:35He'll be outside, contaminating our grounds.
00:12:37What my darling wife means is that Noah's arrived with his troop.
00:12:42They put on oldy-worldy woodworking festivals.
00:12:45Very popular, apparently.
00:12:46Brings people from far and wide.
00:12:49So we don't need some limp flower festival when we can replace it with something much more popular.
00:12:55Did Brad work in the village?
00:12:59He could work anywhere.
00:13:01He was in Bitcoin.
00:13:02He was doing really well.
00:13:04Always on his phone, checking the markets.
00:13:06So you didn't have an argument with someone in Godly Buzzards, hey?
00:13:10Brad, never.
00:13:11He was really popular.
00:13:12My sister can vouch for that.
00:13:13He was lovely.
00:13:14Never seen Frankie as happy.
00:13:21You know, I nearly came to the flower festival last year.
00:13:25Would have been a waste of time.
00:13:27It was rained off.
00:13:28Worst thunderstorm in decades.
00:13:30Destroyed all the flower beds.
00:13:31It was an absolute disaster.
00:13:33Well, hopefully it'll be different this year.
00:13:36No chance.
00:13:37The village have boycotted it.
00:13:39Our magnanimous father decided to charge double this year.
00:13:42Which made a lot of people very angry.
00:14:07We're looking for a Noah Connor boy.
00:14:09That will be me.
00:14:10Oh, I saw you earlier.
00:14:12But you were, um, a bit taller.
00:14:14Oh, yeah.
00:14:15Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:14:21Uh, sorry.
00:14:22I'm Nessie.
00:14:23Nessie Copeland.
00:14:24What's happening up at the house?
00:14:26I'm afraid we have reason to believe that, um,
00:14:29Brad Furbank was murdered last night.
00:14:31Murdered?
00:14:33Are you serious?
00:14:35That's awful.
00:14:36And what can you tell us about the cook and cook?
00:14:40It tells the time.
00:14:42What else is there to say?
00:14:44Did you build it yourself?
00:14:45I craft everything myself.
00:14:47Sorry, why are you asking about a cuckoo clock?
00:14:50Its spring had been tightened to a murderous degree.
00:14:55A sharp piece of metal had been attached to the cuckoo's beak.
00:14:58The second it chimed, it sprang out, and...
00:15:02I'm sure you can work out the rest.
00:15:04Hmm.
00:15:05Everyone saw the clock yesterday.
00:15:08There wasn't anything attached to the beak.
00:15:10Um, there was a woman taking photos.
00:15:14That'll prove it.
00:15:15Uh, I think she was called Kimony.
00:15:17Runs the flower shop in the village.
00:15:19This has nothing to do with Noah.
00:15:22Hmm.
00:15:23Did either of you notice anything, um, off at the engagement party?
00:15:27I-I wasn't there.
00:15:29I was here with the others setting up.
00:15:31There was a lot to do.
00:15:32Alan wants me to put on a festival.
00:15:34He couldn't get me here quick enough.
00:15:36Did you know your father owned all of this?
00:15:38I was born in the village.
00:15:40It wasn't long before my mother up sticks.
00:15:44But she often told me about this place.
00:15:47Is that your way of saying that you did know?
00:15:51When you put it like that, I guess it is.
00:15:59Well, sir, Noah could have been trying to kill Sir Alan
00:16:02because there's obviously something to gain.
00:16:04I can see it now.
00:16:05He-he sneaks back up to the house, rigs the clock,
00:16:07and then potentially inherits the lot.
00:16:09But how would he know Sir Alan was going to get so close to it
00:16:12and at the exact time?
00:16:15Fleur.
00:16:16It's called a dibbler.
00:16:18Say that again.
00:16:19And gardeners use it to make holes in the ground.
00:16:21Oh, thanks as ever, Fleur.
00:16:23I'm still talking.
00:16:24The so-called emeralds in its eyes are paste,
00:16:28and the beak is skull plate.
00:16:30It may look a million dollars,
00:16:31but it's worth less than a real cuckoo.
00:16:37Hmm.
00:16:38Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak is called a dibbler.
00:16:41Um, what's a dibbler when it's at home?
00:16:43If you'd bothered looking after your houseplants, Winter,
00:16:46you would know that a dibbler is a tool that gardeners use.
00:16:50And now murderers, apparently.
00:16:53Sorry, mate.
00:16:54We don't need the extra kegs.
00:16:59Blame the village for boycotting the flower festival.
00:17:05I'm not going to shift a tenth of what I normally do this time of year.
00:17:08Sorry, pal.
00:17:09Sorry, pal.
00:17:15Mr. Solanke.
00:17:24Were you aware that Brad had gone up to Godley Manor in the early hours of this morning?
00:17:29Did he?
00:17:30I didn't know.
00:17:31When was the last time you saw him?
00:17:33Last night, just before I locked up.
00:17:36Did you notice anything unusual at the engagement party?
00:17:40Not really.
00:17:41No.
00:17:42Well, not unless you count that moment with Kimony.
00:17:45Kimony?
00:17:46Kimony Bullet.
00:17:47Brad told her not to do the flowers for the wedding,
00:17:50and she seemed quite annoyed, but not murderously so.
00:17:55And did you see the clock being hung on the wall?
00:17:58Everyone saw it.
00:17:59It was a work of art.
00:18:00Wish I had skills like that.
00:18:02I can barely put up a shelf.
00:18:04Should have listened to her mother and done her corset.
00:18:05Thank you, Mr. Solanke.
00:18:07My team will obviously need access to Brad's room.
00:18:11Why he wasn't killed here?
00:18:14We need to go through Brad's things.
00:18:16We're still to locate his phone, for one thing.
00:18:19I see.
00:18:20Problem?
00:18:21No, no.
00:18:22Not at all.
00:18:42Well, there must have been a sale on at the mirror shop.
00:18:45Oh, they've got a charger.
00:18:49But still no sign of a phone.
00:18:50Sounds to me like someone doesn't want it to be found.
00:18:55Dr. Perkins?
00:18:56Hey, Fever.
00:18:57I know the feeling.
00:18:58Very well.
00:18:59You're within five yards of a mustard plant.
00:19:02Diamond?
00:19:03Hmm.
00:19:04Not real this time.
00:19:05Yeah.
00:19:06That's probably Frankie's.
00:19:07Brad liked to splash out on her.
00:19:10Please remove yourself, Mr. Solanke.
00:19:12I've never seen anything like this.
00:19:15Well, not for real.
00:19:17As my mum wanted me to do a course in forensics.
00:19:27Will you be done soon?
00:19:28I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mrs. Solanke.
00:19:31Fleur?
00:19:40We're done.
00:19:41We're done.
00:19:42For now.
00:19:43For now.
00:19:44Satsang with Mooji
00:20:14What are you doing, Kimini?
00:20:41It's me.
00:20:42Being you doesn't exonerate you, Sylvia.
00:20:45Brad's just been murdered, for goodness sake.
00:20:47Surely you can be a bit lenient.
00:20:49I'm in shock.
00:20:50Then you shouldn't be out driving in the first place.
00:20:53This isn't just a speeding offence.
00:20:55It's a whole lot more than that, and you know it.
00:21:02Is this you for the rest of your life now,
00:21:04punishing drivers day and night?
00:21:12I'm closed for the day.
00:21:23Kimini Bullitt, I take it.
00:21:25The boycott of the flower festival can't be helping business.
00:21:37The village are furious with Sir Alan.
00:21:40He tried to turn a quaint tradition into a corporate cash grab.
00:21:44I heard he doubled the entrance fee.
00:21:45Almost tripled it, if you include having to pay for parking.
00:21:48Oh, which reminds me, I need to make a note
00:21:52of Sylvia's speeding offence.
00:21:54I send them in every Monday, first thing.
00:21:59Noah Connaboy said you took some photos
00:22:02that included the cuckoo clock.
00:22:03Uh.
00:22:09Ah.
00:22:11I'll need you to email that to me.
00:22:15Oh.
00:22:17Course.
00:22:21Usually this time of year, there's a queue all the way
00:22:23from the green to get in here.
00:22:25You can't have been happy with Sir Alan.
00:22:27That's an understatement.
00:22:29Yet still, you went to the engagement party.
00:22:33Myrtle and I have been friends for decades.
00:22:35I could hardly let her down on Frankie's big day.
00:22:46Have you sold any of these lately?
00:22:49Who needs a dibbler when there's no flower festival?
00:22:52Thanks to Sir Alan, I couldn't give them away right now.
00:22:57I know a very good jeweler if you want to sell that ring.
00:23:13How could you be so thoughtless?
00:23:15Well, there's no need to bite my head off.
00:23:17We're all trying to process what happened.
00:23:20It's not just you, Frankie.
00:23:21It's a big loss for us as well.
00:23:23This is my pain.
00:23:25It's not yours.
00:23:27Don't you dare try and hijack it.
00:23:28Look, why don't we try to concentrate on the positives?
00:23:31We've got this wonderful festival of wood, thanks to Noah,
00:23:34and we'll have tons of people streaming in,
00:23:36and that's mainly down to Brad.
00:23:38God rest his soul.
00:23:40Good word, these people.
00:23:41No one's going to pay to see a freak show.
00:23:44Au contraire, my dear, it'll be the height of popularity.
00:23:46We were in the middle of talking.
00:23:49I'm sorry, dear, I thought you'd said your piece.
00:23:52Why did it have to be Brad that got killed, and not one of you?
00:23:59Oh.
00:24:20Hello.
00:24:21Oh, hello again.
00:24:23How can I help?
00:24:25I do flowers for all occasions.
00:24:27A good thing, too.
00:24:29Now we've got a funeral coming up.
00:24:31Oh, God.
00:24:32I didn't think.
00:24:34Don't worry.
00:24:34I'm teasing.
00:24:35I'm not here about flowers.
00:24:37A little birdie told me you're the head of the village council.
00:24:41Someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:24:43Perfect.
00:24:44Because I need to know about the grounds at Godly Manor.
00:24:48Only we were due to put on a festival of wood at Badger's
00:24:51Drift a few weeks back, but the village voted against it,
00:24:55even though we were holding out a vent on private land.
00:24:58Well, there are a few archaic laws floating around.
00:25:02Ellen got me here so quickly, I didn't have a chance to check.
00:25:06You're putting on a festival at the Manor?
00:25:09He said it was to replace a flower day or something.
00:25:13I see.
00:25:16He thinks it could become a permanent thing if it goes well,
00:25:18which it always does.
00:25:20Noah?
00:25:21Sweetheart.
00:25:24Can we get back now?
00:25:25Yes, yes.
00:25:27Be an angel and find out about those bylaws.
00:25:29Sure.
00:25:37Call me back when you get this.
00:25:39I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:53I'm getting bad vibes about this place.
00:25:57I think we should pack up and go.
00:25:59And leave my brother at his lowest ebb.
00:26:02You know why you're really here.
00:26:05He's using you.
00:26:07His flower festival isn't happening,
00:26:08and he needed something to take its place.
00:26:10I wasn't born yesterday, Des.
00:26:13You're happy to be used?
00:26:15Credit me with some brains.
00:26:17I want something out of this as well.
00:26:18Look around.
00:26:21I'm owed half of this.
00:26:23Noah, you promised me.
00:26:25You said it will be two or three days at the most.
00:26:28That was before we got here.
00:26:30Well, I'm not staying here a second longer than I have to.
00:26:32What's gone into you?
00:26:34There's someone who grew up around here.
00:26:35I thought he'd enjoy being back.
00:26:38I hate it here.
00:26:40What?
00:26:41Why would you say that?
00:26:43After this weekend, we are leaving.
00:26:45We are never coming back.
00:26:48I mean it, Noah.
00:27:05Call me back when you get this.
00:27:07I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:27:11Kimmerley, I just got your message.
00:27:22Oh, my god.
00:27:24Are you sure it's her?
00:27:27I can't.
00:27:28I just can't.
00:27:30Not while there's breath in my body.
00:27:39You're not working today.
00:27:40I blame Winter for running late.
00:27:43Did you know he got dumped last year because he planted
00:27:45some flowers the wrong way?
00:27:46Well, it's the little things in life, John.
00:27:48You've got to get them just right.
00:27:50Don't worry.
00:27:51You're getting there.
00:27:52So what do you think so far would granddad approve?
00:27:55If you don't mind me saying, it looks a bit lopsided.
00:27:59Very funny.
00:28:02Oh, I see where you've been going wrong.
00:28:04Here, look.
00:28:05You've had this upside down.
00:28:06You tear that, and you're in big trouble.
00:28:11Oh, Penny, Penny, oh, Penny!
00:28:13Ow!
00:28:14No.
00:28:15It's all right.
00:28:16I can dry it off.
00:28:19Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:28:22Did I mention carpenters in my jeans?
00:28:25I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:28:34Tell me what's wrong with this picture, Winter.
00:28:37Cuckoo's the only one that's smiling.
00:28:39Mm-hmm.
00:28:41Look at the clock.
00:28:43It's not level with the top of the painting.
00:28:45Fleur said it was level with Sir Alan's portrait,
00:28:48but here it's at least four inches lower.
00:28:50So someone moved it.
00:28:52But look who is level with the portrait.
00:28:55Brad.
00:28:56Which most likely means he was the intended target after all.
00:29:00Mm.
00:29:01Well, talking of Brad, Sir, here's a strange one.
00:29:03Tech managed to get into his laptop,
00:29:05but as far as they could tell, he wasn't doing anything in Bitcoin.
00:29:08Truth is, he barely had a penny to his name.
00:29:11Then how did he pay for Frankie's engagement rate?
00:29:13Well, there's no sign of it in his accounts or credit card statements.
00:29:16Also, we heard back from his mobile phone provider,
00:29:19and they confirmed that his phone was switched off at the time of the murder.
00:29:22Presumably, they sent over a record of his recent calls and texts.
00:29:25Yeah, nothing unusual out of the ordinary.
00:29:32Also, sir, there is this.
00:29:34This was found under Brad's bed at the pub.
00:29:37Now, I presume that it belongs to Frankie,
00:29:39but I think it's worth checking.
00:29:41Mm.
00:29:45Did anything come back on Kim and E. Bullitt?
00:29:47Uh, yes, I found out that her husband was killed in a hit-and-run a year ago.
00:29:52And the driver was never traced.
00:29:54Well, that explains the speed gun and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:29:58And intriguingly, the hit-and-run happened on the same day
00:30:00that the flower festival was rained off.
00:30:02And almost exactly a year to the day, Brad Furbank is pecked to death,
00:30:09as Fleur so eloquently put it.
00:30:12If he didn't know that the emeralds and gold were fake,
00:30:15imagine what seeing them might mean to him.
00:30:18Someone who's not only penniless, but also a proven liar.
00:30:22You mean he went there to steal it?
00:30:25Why else would he be there at three in the morning?
00:30:28So someone booby-trapped the bird and then re-hung the clock,
00:30:31knowing that he would come for it?
00:30:33That's exactly what they did, Winter.
00:30:39Now, I'll speak to Frankie.
00:30:40Now, you talk to her sister, Sylvia.
00:30:42I want to find out what they did or didn't know about Brad.
00:30:48And while you're at it, I need a book.
00:30:52A book?
00:30:53On, um, woodwork.
00:30:59My sweetheart, come along
00:31:02Don't you hear the fond song
00:31:04The sweet note of the nightingale flow
00:31:09Don't you hear the fond tale
00:31:11Of the sweet nightingale
00:31:14As she sings in those valleys below
00:31:21As she sings in those valleys below
00:31:28Oh, sorry.
00:31:29We don't open until tomorrow.
00:31:31I'm not a visitor.
00:31:32All the same.
00:31:34I'm Frankie.
00:31:36Oh, I mean, Francesca, Bruce.
00:31:39Myrtle and Alan's daughter.
00:31:41Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your fiancé.
00:31:46Oh.
00:31:50That actually means more than you realise.
00:31:52I'm Nessie.
00:31:53Noah's partner.
00:31:54Were you looking for him?
00:31:55No.
00:31:56I just needed to go on a wander.
00:32:02How long will you be here for?
00:32:05Oh, hopefully just for the weekend.
00:32:08If I can convince Noah.
00:32:09Well, he wants to stay longer.
00:32:11He thinks he can make a permanent home here.
00:32:14Has he told my father that?
00:32:16Doesn't matter if he has.
00:32:18I'm going to convince him to up sticks.
00:32:20Couldn't hit me with you.
00:32:21Could you?
00:32:23That was a joke.
00:32:24Well, sort of.
00:32:26Frankie, if you want to get away, then do it.
00:32:29I did the same myself years ago.
00:32:32Left godly buzzard and never looked back.
00:32:35And now you're the singing stilts lady.
00:32:38And I can see for miles and miles to the horizon and beyond.
00:32:42I'd love to try that one day.
00:32:48Please?
00:32:52Let's see if you've got a head for heights.
00:33:09Wow.
00:33:10You're right.
00:33:10You can see everything.
00:33:15Frankie, you have a moment.
00:33:23Do me a very large favour, Sylvia.
00:33:26Slap these up everywhere.
00:33:28I'm working.
00:33:30Yes, but you also have a civil duty to assist any knight of the realm
00:33:33whenever he should so request.
00:33:35For God's sake, Dad, you're not a sir.
00:33:38Grandad was the sir.
00:33:39You don't inherit that title.
00:33:40You have to have it bestowed.
00:33:41Yes, well, I was a DIY bestowment.
00:33:44Really shot my bloody ear off, actually.
00:33:46Ah, have you found the culprit?
00:33:48The investigation's still ongoing.
00:33:49Well, chop, chop, because the wonderful Noah's Bar
00:33:52is opening tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. sharp.
00:34:00More questions?
00:34:01Yes.
00:34:02Do you mind if I step inside?
00:34:08Miss Bruce, can you start by telling me what you really thought of Brad?
00:34:12And I already made that clear.
00:34:14I liked him.
00:34:15I liked him.
00:34:15A lot.
00:34:16Presumably, you didn't know that he was a con man and a thief.
00:34:20I'm sorry, he was what?
00:34:22We found antihistamine in Brad's room at the pub.
00:34:25It's for hay fever.
00:34:28What sort on earth was he doing showing up at a flower festival?
00:34:31And that makes him a thief.
00:34:33Well, there's a good chance that he was casing the house with the intention of robbing it later.
00:34:37It's a well-known ploy.
00:34:38Stately homes throw open their doors, but they never truly know who they're inviting inside.
00:34:42Brad did nothing of the sort.
00:34:43All he did was meet my sister and fall madly in love.
00:34:47Or he realized that there was more to gain from seducing Frankie and marrying into the family.
00:34:52Please stop.
00:34:54This is awful.
00:34:58I've never seen it before.
00:35:01Where did you find it?
00:35:02It was in Brad's room at the pub.
00:35:07This earring.
00:35:12It doesn't mean he was.
00:35:15No, Brad wouldn't do that to me.
00:35:21How did you meet?
00:35:24It was on the eve of last year's War of the Roses festival.
00:35:28We had a private preview.
00:35:30We ended up talking, so I took him on a tour of the house.
00:35:33He asked to see inside?
00:35:34He seemed really keen.
00:35:37I got the impression he liked me.
00:35:41How much did you know about his bitcoin business?
00:35:44Only what he told me, but he was doing great.
00:35:47I'm afraid he was lying to you, Frankie.
00:35:49He didn't have a penny to his name.
00:35:51Of course he did.
00:35:53Have you seen this ring?
00:35:54Why would you say that?
00:35:56He was overdrawn and owed money everywhere.
00:35:58No, he was always splashing out on me.
00:36:01You need to get your facts straight.
00:36:12Please don't let this be true.
00:36:13It's been hard enough trying to convince my parents I'm worthy of their love and now this.
00:36:26Is that all you wanted?
00:36:27Only my father's given me a job to do.
00:36:29Were you around when Kim and his husband was killed in the hit and run?
00:36:33What's that got to do with what happened to Brad?
00:36:35Well, we're aware that he showed up at Godly Manor the same day that it happened.
00:36:39I remember spotting him with Frankie and wondering who he was, but I didn't give it another thought.
00:36:45Not until she introduced him a few weeks later.
00:36:48I need to get on.
00:36:49Oh, and I need a book.
00:36:53On woodwork.
00:37:04Do you have children, Chief Inspector?
00:37:09A daughter.
00:37:11And you love her, right?
00:37:14You love her with every fibre of your being.
00:37:18Well, can you imagine what it's like when the opposite is true?
00:37:23Can you imagine what that would be like for your daughter?
00:37:28I can't see myself being anything other than in awe of her.
00:37:32That's because you didn't bring her into this world for all the wrong reasons.
00:37:42I had a brother, Chief Inspector.
00:37:45Frances.
00:37:46Well, what I mean when I say I had a brother is he died when he was just over a year old.
00:37:53And I was conceived shortly afterwards, but solely in the hope that my parents could somehow recreate him.
00:38:01Myrtle, it was so long ago. I was probably seeing things.
00:38:11Don't backtrack now.
00:38:13Something made you think you saw Aggie Marlowe. Now, what was it?
00:38:16It was the way she wouldn't look at me. Like she didn't want to be recognised.
00:38:24Perhaps you could have her arrested this time around.
00:38:26Oh, what are you talking about?
00:38:28The police said Frances' death was due to natural causes. There's no arrest happening here.
00:38:34No. Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands.
00:38:37You don't mean that, do you?
00:38:43Mattel?
00:38:46You're scaring me.
00:38:51Apparently, my parents were out at an afternoon due with my grandfather.
00:38:56And when my mother came back, she found Frances dead on the floor. He'd fallen out of his cot.
00:39:01They'd left him on his own?
00:39:02No, they had a babysitter, Aggie Marlowe, but she vanished into thin air.
00:39:08Sylvia said it broke my parents in half, until one of them had the desperately sad idea of making another Frances.
00:39:17Hence my name.
00:39:19So they went ahead.
00:39:22And sadly for them, I emerged.
00:39:26And that is when they realised that they couldn't get Frances back.
00:39:29But worse, because they were saddled with someone every day,
00:39:35who reminds them that I'm not their precious son.
00:39:42I'm sorry.
00:39:59universe then goes away.
00:40:00You broke my parents, and you lost one eye.
00:40:02Be careful.
00:40:03I wondered how they can run the court.
00:40:03What's the case about it?
00:40:05You sure did.
00:40:06But my favourite sanctuary, too.
00:40:07I felt that when you were on my own house.
00:40:11So you were still occupied by being aroundavoast,
00:40:11and somebody's frightened,
00:40:14If it was beautiful,
00:40:16I thought you'd be like it won't really execute me there.
00:40:17This was a very sad thing,
00:40:19who encouraged me and Wha are theени,
00:40:20as so what it takes and your tropics are doing,
00:40:23only I knew their reductions.
00:40:24And that was seven months ago,
00:40:26how are they used to carry on?
00:40:28I thought I talked to myself and my home
00:40:48Best I could do, sir.
00:40:49Is it for Mrs. B?
00:40:51Oh, thank you, Winter.
00:40:52Yes, Sarah's struggling a bit with the arbor.
00:40:55She even managed to injure her thumb.
00:40:59Well, I'm sure she'd be glad of this.
00:41:01So, did Frankie recognize the earring?
00:41:04In a word, no.
00:41:07Oh, well, that puts a cat among the pigeons.
00:41:10Brad must have been seeing someone else.
00:41:14Dears, Winter.
00:41:16OK.
00:41:18Yeah, thanks.
00:41:20Sir, we've had an anonymous call from a withheld number.
00:41:24There's a woman saying that she's very worried about an Aggie
00:41:27Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
00:41:30We don't know an Aggie Marlowe, do we?
00:41:33I think we do, Winter.
00:41:35The Aggie is short for Agnes, which
00:41:37can also be shortened to Nessie.
00:41:40Perhaps you should go and have a chat with her.
00:41:42Hmm.
00:41:43Lady Godly's showered with an RF prairie.
00:41:51Turns on.
00:41:53You've returned to Nessie as she'sÚ¾in.
00:41:55They're Hunt by thought of him.
00:41:56Max Smith's night here today?
00:41:59Oh, no.
00:42:02There.
00:42:03There.
00:42:04Go next time.
00:42:05Ready?
00:42:07Thanks, Sarah.
00:42:08Do what we got here?
00:42:09As much as I told them,
00:42:10anyone was Horror ìš©ansen,
00:42:11Who the hell are you? What are you doing in here?
00:42:17You don't remember.
00:42:21You couldn't keep your hands off me the last time we met.
00:42:25Aggie.
00:42:28This is Frances' room. How dare you?
00:42:32I was looking all over for you, Myrtle.
00:42:35And then I saw Frances' name on the door.
00:42:38And I couldn't help myself.
00:42:40If Myrtle were here, God knows what she would do to you.
00:42:43She's who I came here to see.
00:42:46I'm going to tell her what really happened that day.
00:42:50Noah is dead set on staying here.
00:42:52And the only way I get to stay here with him is if Myrtle and everyone else knows
00:42:56you are the reason why Frances died.
00:42:59As if anyone's going to believe you.
00:43:01And you know what the best thing is?
00:43:03You brought Noah back here, which means you brought me back here too.
00:43:07Everything comes home to Roost eventually.
00:43:10That's enough! I'm not having this!
00:43:11Oh!
00:43:12Ah!
00:43:41You've joined a library.
00:44:07Oh, er, Winter borrowed it.
00:44:10At least he said he thought you might need it.
00:44:12That's so nice of him.
00:44:14I thought we could look through it together.
00:44:16Oh.
00:44:17Why would we need to do that?
00:44:19When you've got the blood of a master carpenter running through you.
00:44:22You don't need this.
00:44:24Not when it comes so naturally to you.
00:44:27Don't have to get any splinters.
00:44:37Winter.
00:44:39Impeccable timing.
00:44:40Oh, you found Nessie.
00:44:41What does she say?
00:44:47I'll be right there.
00:44:48I'll be right there.
00:44:49A little bird tells me, not a cuckoo this time, you were looking for Agnes Marlon.
00:45:05The good news is you found her.
00:45:07But the bad news is someone else found her first.
00:45:10Talk us through it, Fleur.
00:45:12Judging from the angle of the attack, I'd say she was approached from behind, and the billhook did the rest.
00:45:20The what?
00:45:21Bellhook, Winter.
00:45:22It's a highly versatile cutting tool my grandfather had one.
00:45:26Same sort of tool you might find in Noah's bark.
00:45:28You look 10% more handsome when you say something intelligent.
00:45:32I'll have to set you brain teasers up the percentage.
00:45:37Time of death, Fleur?
00:45:39I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:45:41And the killer just left the weapon lying around?
00:45:43It was stuffed behind that fallen log over there.
00:45:48Let's start with Noah.
00:45:51Before you lope off, she was carrying this.
00:45:56But I wouldn't get too excited.
00:45:58I don't think he's the killer.
00:46:04What the hell?
00:46:06They're not letting the public in.
00:46:08Well, what did you expect?
00:46:10Aggie Marlow was murdered last night.
00:46:12Yes, that person was a blight on our family.
00:46:15Yes.
00:46:16And, of course, we know who brought her here, don't we?
00:46:19Noah couldn't have possibly known who she was.
00:46:21How do we know that?
00:46:22I don't trust a thing about him.
00:46:24Ever since he arrived, terrible things have happened.
00:46:27Is really that terrible that Aggie's dead?
00:46:29You know full well what I mean.
00:46:31I want him gone, Alan.
00:46:33Missy and I were together for years.
00:46:42It's all right.
00:46:43I saw her at a folk festival.
00:46:46She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever set eyes on.
00:46:52We started chatting and realized we'd both lived in Godly Buzzard once.
00:46:56From that point on, we never left each other's side.
00:47:02Ended up creating all this.
00:47:05Did you know that Nessie had changed her name from Aggie?
00:47:09Aggie?
00:47:11No.
00:47:12She was always Nessie to me.
00:47:14Well, she never mentioned that she used to babysit for the Bruises.
00:47:17She never said a word.
00:47:22How did she react after Brad found you?
00:47:27To be honest, she didn't want me to come here.
00:47:32When we pitched up, she got pretty nervy.
00:47:35Even had a nightmare the first night we stayed here.
00:47:38Had to get up and go for a wonder.
00:47:41Nessie said she never went up to the house,
00:47:43but did she encounter any of the Bruises other than Frankie?
00:47:48Not that I know of.
00:47:50Can you tell us where you were yesterday evening, Mr. Connerboy?
00:47:58Don't even go there.
00:48:02Nessie was the love of my life.
00:48:06Mr. Connerboy.
00:48:13I was at the pub with Angel.
00:48:16We just finished setting up and deserved a pint or two.
00:48:20Did you say Angel?
00:48:22The axe man.
00:48:24He looked ferocious, but underneath he's a kitten.
00:48:27We believe that a tool from your troop was used in the attack on Nessie.
00:48:32A, um, a billhook.
00:48:36Is there one missing?
00:48:38I'd have to ask around.
00:48:41Anyone could come in and take anything.
00:48:44It's not like we'd lock anything away.
00:49:08Saj, what are you doing?
00:49:17Waiting for you to join me.
00:49:19Here.
00:49:24I don't understand.
00:49:25I want to make a toast to Brad.
00:49:27He lived there for a year, and I'm gonna miss him.
00:49:30Saj, you may as well know, the police are saying he was a con man.
00:49:34No way, a con man.
00:49:37Did you know?
00:49:38Or ever get a sense of it?
00:49:40Like you said, he was here a whole year.
00:49:42Me?
00:49:43Nah.
00:49:45Poor Frankie.
00:49:47You sure you didn't know?
00:49:49You sure you didn't?
00:49:50What does that mean?
00:49:52I don't know.
00:49:53I always thought you had a bit of a thing for him.
00:49:55A thing?
00:49:56What thing?
00:49:57Why would you say that?
00:49:59Well, you're always so keen on him, always bigging him up.
00:50:02Well, says he's number one fan.
00:50:04That wasn't me.
00:50:05No way.
00:50:06You've fawned all over him.
00:50:07In fact, you changed personality whenever he was around.
00:50:10Aye, well.
00:50:11Maybe it's a good thing he's not around anymore, eh?
00:50:19Lucas.
00:50:20This is crazy.
00:50:22None of this matters now.
00:50:23He's gone.
00:50:26I'm sorry.
00:50:27I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:50:31Same.
00:50:33Normal service has resumed.
00:50:40Let's make a different toast.
00:50:41Hm?
00:50:42Hm?
00:50:45Out with the bad and all that.
00:50:47Ah.
00:50:48Out with the brad, more like.
00:50:50What was Nessie doing out here on her own?
00:50:53Maybe she was meeting someone.
00:50:54What, with a teddy bear?
00:50:55Hm.
00:50:56I'll get tech to check out her phone calls and texts.
00:50:59Also, have them chase up the anonymous tip about Aggie Marlow being back in the village.
00:51:04She was killed almost immediately afterwards, so whoever called us was clearly worried.
00:51:07You think one of the Bruce's found out she was back?
00:51:20I'll go and see.
00:51:23This is the last place I saw Francis alive.
00:51:27I gave him a cuddle before Alan and I took Sir Percival to a party.
00:51:33I'll never forgive myself for leaving him.
00:51:39And when you returned home?
00:51:41Uh, I stayed longer than planned.
00:51:44That was Kim and his fault.
00:51:45She can chat for England.
00:51:47Alan had wandered off ages before.
00:51:50When I got back, there was no sign of Aggie anywhere.
00:51:55And then I found Francis.
00:51:58Lying right there.
00:52:00Not moving.
00:52:03Lady Myrtle, did you know that, um,
00:52:09Aggie Marlow was living on your grounds with Noah?
00:52:13Of course I didn't.
00:52:14You never met or saw her?
00:52:16I just said.
00:52:17I didn't know she was back.
00:52:18And trust me, if I had,
00:52:20Aggie would have been dead a lot sooner.
00:52:24I want that woman's body off our land.
00:52:27You know what she did to Myrtle and I?
00:52:31Where were you last night?
00:52:33Are you listening to me, Barnaby?
00:52:36It's Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.
00:52:39I was in my bed getting my beauty sleep
00:52:41in preparation for the grand opening,
00:52:43which actually won't be remotely grand now,
00:52:46thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:52:48Were you aware that she was part of Noah's bar?
00:52:51What on earth are you talking about?
00:52:52Well, it turns out she was Noah's partner,
00:52:54had been for years.
00:52:55My God, you couldn't make it up.
00:52:57Brad didn't happen to find that out
00:52:59when he was searching for Noah.
00:53:00Would I have invited him here if he had?
00:53:02If you wanted revenge for Francis,
00:53:04then yes, that's exactly what you would have done.
00:53:07Look, I invited Noah here simply to raise some cash.
00:53:12My father didn't exactly leave a pot of gold in his will,
00:53:15and these stately homes cost a fortune to maintain.
00:53:18On the outside, it looks like we've won the lottery.
00:53:20On the inside, we can barely afford a ticket.
00:53:22Well, there's still the house and grounds, though.
00:53:25And surely you knew that finding Noah
00:53:27could result in you having to hand over half
00:53:29of everything you'd inherited.
00:53:31You've met him?
00:53:32He's a hippie.
00:53:33They don't belong in houses like this.
00:53:35Anyway, he'll drift away soon enough.
00:53:37Did Brad know you were struggling financially?
00:53:41I admit, I was a little too keen to get Noah here,
00:53:44and someone like Brad might have noted that.
00:53:48Someone like Brad?
00:53:49He was a parasite.
00:53:51I didn't realize at first,
00:53:52but he was a tapeworm eating his way into our family.
00:54:01Sir?
00:54:03Uh-oh.
00:54:04I called Saj Solanki,
00:54:06and he said that he remembers seeing Noah
00:54:08and the Axeman in the pub.
00:54:09It seems the Bruce's both had a strong motive
00:54:13for killing Nessie,
00:54:15and Sir Alan had an inkling that Brad
00:54:17wasn't the person he claimed to be.
00:54:20Talking of Brad,
00:54:21we know that he was desperate for money
00:54:23to keep up his lies and lifestyle,
00:54:26so all it would take is for his killer
00:54:28to know that as well.
00:54:30What about the person
00:54:31that the diamond earring belongs to?
00:54:34It could be some kind of love rat thing.
00:54:37Elegantly put, Winter?
00:54:38Or Frankie found out that Brad was cheating on her
00:54:40and killed him in a fit of jealousy.
00:54:41I'm sure that's possible in your love rat world.
00:54:44She was also the only member of the Bruce family
00:54:46that we know for certain met Nessie.
00:54:48Ah, and you were doing so well, Winter,
00:54:50but Frankie hadn't been born
00:54:52when Nessie was babysitting for the Bruce's.
00:54:55It's doubtful she'd know her on side.
00:54:57Now, here's a question for you.
00:54:59How does a penniless man rent a room in a pub
00:55:03for an entire year?
00:55:08Look, Kemeny won't report you for speeding.
00:55:21There are mitigating circumstances
00:55:22just like you told her.
00:55:24You know what she's like.
00:55:26She takes her misery out on anyone she can find.
00:55:28I can't have points on my licence.
00:55:30I could lose my job.
00:55:32Well, come work here then.
00:55:34You'd probably earn more.
00:55:36If this world of woodenness takes off,
00:55:38this place will be packed.
00:55:39It's not the money.
00:55:41I happen to love that job.
00:55:43Mr. Solanke, a word if you don't mind.
00:55:46I thought you were all done here.
00:55:51How did Brad pay for his room and board?
00:55:53Like anyone else?
00:55:54He was penniless, Mr. Solanke.
00:55:56We can just go through your books.
00:55:59Right, well, er, thing is, er,
00:56:02hindsight's a great thing, right?
00:56:04But, er, I kind of let Brad run up a tab.
00:56:08For an entire year?
00:56:10Oh, he was a nice guy.
00:56:12I totally trusted him.
00:56:13Well, tell them, Sylvia.
00:56:15You were always urging Frankie to marry Emma.
00:56:17You'll need on that.
00:56:19Well, we have you.
00:56:21We found this in Brad's room.
00:56:24Have you seen that before?
00:56:26No, sorry.
00:56:28Brad ever have anyone other than Frankie back to his room?
00:56:31No, not that I ever saw.
00:56:33Fleur?
00:56:35Believe it or not, we're at the pub right now.
00:56:37We are going to need access to Brad's room again.
00:56:47It'll be fine.
00:56:48Don't worry.
00:56:48Oh, Noah.
00:57:07I'm so sorry.
00:57:08I just heard about Aggie.
00:57:11Aggie?
00:57:13I meant Nessie.
00:57:15You must be devastated.
00:57:18That answers everything.
00:57:20She called herself Nessie, yet you just called her Aggie.
00:57:26I know you're big pals with Myrtle, my charming sister-in-law.
00:57:31Did you do the family a favor and tell them who Nessie really was?
00:57:36I think you should leave.
00:57:37I think I should go to the police, don't you?
00:57:42What is it called?
00:57:44Accessory to murder?
00:57:45Well, go on then.
00:57:47I've done nothing wrong.
00:57:49I'll tell them you clearly recognized her,
00:57:52and they'll realize you're the only one who knew who she was.
00:57:57Why are you here?
00:58:00What do you want from me?
00:58:02That's better.
00:58:02I know I got permission to put on my festival,
00:58:06but what if I wanted to set up home there permanently with all my people?
00:58:12That's something else entirely.
00:58:15You're the head of the council.
00:58:16I'm sure you could make it happen.
00:58:17I already hate Sir Alan.
00:58:19I doubt they'd be too fond of you for riding to his rescue.
00:58:22We're talking about my home.
00:58:24A home I've been denied for far too long,
00:58:27so make it happen.
00:58:30What if I can't?
00:58:31This is my birthright,
00:58:36and I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of that.
00:58:51What are you doing?
00:58:57What's that for?
00:58:58Care to explain, Mr. Stelenke?
00:58:59No idea.
00:59:02I was already there when I started running the police.
00:59:06Shall I keep going?
00:59:07Where is this leading flow?
00:59:08I worked on a similar case once.
00:59:10There were mirrors all over the walls in that place as well.
00:59:13Clearly, the idea took off.
00:59:15When I first encountered this sort of thing,
00:59:17my boss told me to touch the mirrors with my fingernail,
00:59:20and my fingernail touched its reflection.
00:59:23What else would it touch?
00:59:25Index finger, please, Winter.
00:59:27I promise not to buy it.
00:59:33If it were a normal mirror,
00:59:35your fingernail and its reflection would never meet.
00:59:38There'll always be a gap, like so.
00:59:41But with a two-way mirror,
00:59:43finger touch his finger.
00:59:47And they're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Stelenke?
00:59:51It's for security purposes.
01:00:04Try again, Mr. Stelenke.
01:00:06Look, a lot of people book into hotels and not just to sleep.
01:00:14They meet up with lovers.
01:00:15Some of them do secret deals.
01:00:17I've heard them on the phone lying about their whereabouts.
01:00:20The list goes on.
01:00:22I mean, half the people that come in here are up to no good.
01:00:25So you thought you'd make some money out of it?
01:00:27When did Brad find out you were doing this?
01:00:32First night he stayed.
01:00:33He accidentally knocked over the mirror onto the floor
01:00:35and he saw the camera behind it.
01:00:38But he didn't report you?
01:00:39He told me to lose the cameras in his room
01:00:41but keep the rest in the other rooms.
01:00:44He wanted in on it.
01:00:45In fact, he took over.
01:00:46He made me blackmail everyone that I could.
01:00:48And for the last year he's lived here rent-free
01:00:52in exchange for his silence.
01:00:54He's bled me dry in every way you can imagine.
01:00:57Including forcing you to buy Frankie's engagement ring.
01:01:02Well, how do you know that?
01:01:03We didn't until now.
01:01:06We'll need to look into Mr. Stelenke's finances.
01:01:10Am I going to prison for this?
01:01:12At the moment, I'm more interested
01:01:14in who Brad was seeing behind Frankie's back.
01:01:16Well, he wasn't seeing anyone.
01:01:19You're in enough trouble as it is, Mr. Stelenke.
01:01:22I couldn't see anything before
01:01:24because then you'd come back and ask for proof
01:01:26and then you'd...
01:01:27Find out what you've been doing.
01:01:30She used to come in the back way.
01:01:33Obviously didn't know I had a hidden camera outside.
01:01:36But it was...
01:01:36Sylvia Bruce.
01:01:38Sylvia?
01:01:39No.
01:01:40It was her mum.
01:01:42Myrtle.
01:01:46Look at these idiots, sir.
01:02:07She can't give me a ticket.
01:02:10This is official police business.
01:02:12So is this.
01:02:13Just so you know,
01:02:14you can pass on my information
01:02:15but it'll be up to the police
01:02:16if they decide to prosecute or not.
01:02:18And, well...
01:02:19I am the police.
01:02:22Well, we'll find out on Monday
01:02:24when I send in my data
01:02:26whether that helps or not.
01:02:31When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:02:34It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:02:37And don't think you can get away with this at night either.
01:02:40I'm on guard 24-7.
01:02:42Sorry, Kimmy.
01:02:45I'll go halves on the fine.
01:02:49Someone needs to take that speed gun off her.
01:02:52Drive on, Winter.
01:02:53Slowly.
01:03:05Would you like to know where we found this?
01:03:10You should know that Brad never loved Frankie.
01:03:15I mean, how could he?
01:03:17She's quite unlovable.
01:03:18Alan and I tried for years.
01:03:21When did you and Brad start seeing each other?
01:03:24Months ago.
01:03:26I rather felt for him,
01:03:27all that pretending he had to do.
01:03:29So the affair was still going on
01:03:31even at the engagement party.
01:03:32Did Sir Alan know?
01:03:33It doesn't matter if he did or he didn't.
01:03:36He disappeared the night Francis died.
01:03:39There's more life in his portrait.
01:03:41When did you last see Brad?
01:03:44When he was lying dead in our hallway.
01:03:46Lady Myrtle?
01:03:47At the engagement party.
01:03:49And you were never worried that Sarge
01:03:50would see you at the pub and tell Frankie?
01:03:52I didn't go there often
01:03:54and Brad seemed to have some
01:03:56hold over Sarge.
01:03:58He said he wouldn't say a word
01:03:59if he knew what was good for him.
01:04:01Sadly for you,
01:04:02he can say whatever he wants now.
01:04:04What are you talking about?
01:04:05Sarge has CCTV footage of you two
01:04:08arguing outside his pub
01:04:09the day before Brad died.
01:04:11What was the argument about?
01:04:13He'd found out that Alan and I
01:04:15aren't exactly wealthy.
01:04:17He was furious.
01:04:18He said I'd been leading him on.
01:04:20Did he break up with you?
01:04:21He threatened to.
01:04:22How did you feel about that?
01:04:24How do you think?
01:04:25Did you get the dibbler
01:04:27from Kim and his shop?
01:04:28All in to see her
01:04:29and slip one into your pocket?
01:04:31I wouldn't know a dibbler
01:04:32from a punch on the nose.
01:04:33And then you rigged the clock?
01:04:34Oh, this is ridiculous.
01:04:36Murder very often is
01:04:37Lady Myrtle.
01:04:41You're not going to bring
01:04:42Lady Myrtle in, sir.
01:04:43Sir, Alan has already given her
01:04:45an alibi for the night Brad was killed.
01:04:47We need something concrete.
01:04:48T.S. Winter.
01:04:52Oh, okay.
01:04:53That was quick.
01:04:55Thanks.
01:04:56Sir, Tech have managed to trace
01:04:58the anonymous call
01:04:59regarding Aggie Marlowe.
01:05:01It was from Kimeny Bullitt.
01:05:03Oh, of course it was.
01:05:05And we already know
01:05:06she likes to share
01:05:07her findings with the police.
01:05:09Hop over to her shop
01:05:10and find out if she told anyone else.
01:05:12She was obviously worried
01:05:14about what might happen.
01:05:40Hello?
01:05:40He could have been
01:05:46somewhere more accessible.
01:05:48I don't even like that hill.
01:05:49Oh.
01:05:51Oh.
01:05:53Oh.
01:05:53Oh.
01:05:53Oh.
01:05:55Oh.
01:05:57Oh.
01:05:58Oh.
01:05:59Oh.
01:06:00Oh.
01:06:01Oh.
01:06:02Oh.
01:06:03Oh.
01:06:04Oh.
01:06:05Oh.
01:06:06Oh.
01:06:07Oh.
01:06:08Oh.
01:06:09Oh.
01:06:10Oh.
01:06:17There you are.
01:06:18Let me just catch my brain.
01:06:21Oh.
01:06:21Oh.
01:06:22Oh.
01:06:23Oh.
01:06:31Oh.
01:06:38Oh.
01:06:40How's your thumb?
01:07:08Throbbing.
01:07:10Do you really think you can put that arbor together?
01:07:16Only I don't want it suddenly collapsing on Betty or her friends or on me, for that
01:07:21matter.
01:07:22That arbor will still be standing a hundred years from now.
01:07:25A monument to the inherited skills of a master craftsman.
01:07:30Right.
01:07:31Right.
01:07:32What's that around her mouth?
01:07:39What's that around her mouth?
01:07:45Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue, super strong.
01:07:52I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:08:26Where's this came from?
01:08:27Judging from the finish, I'd say a craftsman made that.
01:08:33Would you like a ticket?
01:08:48I'm afraid Kiminy Bullock was killed sometime last night.
01:08:58Oh.
01:08:59I'm afraid Kiminy Bullock was killed sometime last night.
01:09:11Oh my God.
01:09:12I was wondering what had happened.
01:09:16Were you at the house?
01:09:17No.
01:09:18No.
01:09:19I stayed here last night.
01:09:21Noah's a bit lost right now, obviously, so I thought I could be there for him.
01:09:27You didn't see or hear anything?
01:09:29No.
01:09:30Sorry.
01:09:31This is awful.
01:09:34I've known Kiminy my whole life.
01:09:40Excuse me.
01:09:59Wood is so much more than we think it is.
01:10:03It has sheltered us, defended us, given up its body to us.
01:10:10Yes, she came up with that.
01:10:13All of this was her idea.
01:10:15Show people how much they can learn and benefit from nature.
01:10:19And turn it into furniture.
01:10:22Namely, a pair of chairs.
01:10:26If you're looking to pin this on me, anyone could have come in here.
01:10:29You really shouldn't try locking things away, Mr. Connoboy.
01:10:32Someone needs to go and tell the crowds we won't be opening any time soon.
01:10:36They'll have to come back next year.
01:10:39You're planning on returning?
01:10:41I'm not actually planning on leaving.
01:10:44I was born here.
01:10:45Nessie was born here.
01:10:48I belong here.
01:10:49Hi, sir.
01:10:50Yeah, I'm in Kiminy's shop.
01:10:51Someone has been in here and looks like they've smashed up our laptop.
01:10:55Yeah.
01:10:56Is there anyone Kiminy might have upset recently?
01:11:05If there was, she didn't tell me.
01:11:07We know she left an anonymous tip-off about Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
01:11:11Did she happen to tell you as well?
01:11:12As I've already said, that wouldn't have gone well for Aggie.
01:11:16Is that why Kiminy decided to contact us?
01:11:17You met her.
01:11:18She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:11:21Talking of which, did she ever mention the hit-and-run?
01:11:26Only to the point of boredom.
01:11:27And more recently, I mean, as in, had she found out who killed her husband?
01:11:30No.
01:11:31She'd have said.
01:11:32In fact, she'd have screamed it from the rooftops.
01:11:34We know that she had to tell you.
01:11:35But she happened to tell you as well.
01:11:36And she happened to tell you as well.
01:11:37As I've already said, that wouldn't have gone well for Aggie.
01:11:38Is that why Kiminy decided to contact us?
01:11:39You met her.
01:11:40She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:11:44Talking of which, did she ever mention the hit-and-run?
01:11:47Only to the point of boredom.
01:11:49And more recently, I mean, as in, had she found out who killed her husband?
01:11:53No.
01:11:54She'd have said.
01:11:55In fact, she'd have screamed it from the rooftops.
01:11:59We know that Brad checked into Saj's pub on the same night that Kiminy's husband was killed.
01:12:05Before you fall down that rabbit hole, Brad got a puncture up at the house and walked down to the village.
01:12:11He couldn't have run anyone over, let alone Kiminy's husband.
01:12:16I don't suppose I could have Francis as Teddy.
01:12:22Only Kiminy bought that for him.
01:12:24It feels so wrong that Aggie took it.
01:12:28How did you know about the teddy bear?
01:12:33We deliberately withheld that information.
01:12:35Alan told me he must have let it slip, Chief Inspector.
01:12:39Charles, how good of you to call.
01:12:54Now, I may need you to sue the police for loss of earnings.
01:12:58Yes, that's right, the police.
01:13:01I'll send you an email with all the details.
01:13:03Speak soon.
01:13:04Well, that should shrink your annual budget.
01:13:08How did you know about Aggie Marlow taking Francis' teddy bear?
01:13:13You told your wife, remember?
01:13:16Well, I probably picked it up off of one of you lot.
01:13:19Aggie must have gone up to Francis' room.
01:13:24I think you saw her.
01:13:25You're an absolute balderdash.
01:13:27Why would she go up there?
01:13:28I didn't know she had.
01:13:30It seems a strange place to return to, considering the circumstances.
01:13:34Or was she coming to see you and Lady Myrtle?
01:13:37I very much doubt it.
01:13:39She'd been avoiding being seen, yet she felt confident enough to come to the house,
01:13:45the place where she'd apparently left a child to die.
01:13:49I'm afraid I can't answer for her actions.
01:13:51I happen to think you can.
01:13:54What really happened on the day your son died?
01:13:56I'd really rather not go back there.
01:13:58It's still exceedingly raw, even after all these years.
01:14:01I know that you and your wife went to a party with your father.
01:14:08She said that she came back alone,
01:14:10which implies that either you were still at the party,
01:14:13or you'd already left.
01:14:15No, I stayed till the bitter end.
01:14:17Then you would have seen both Lady Myrtle and Kimeny,
01:14:21because they stayed late as well.
01:14:25You've spent a long time living with this, Sir Alan.
01:14:31She was extremely attractive back then,
01:14:38and I was only a little older than her.
01:14:42In your eyes, perhaps?
01:14:45And I've been drinking.
01:14:47And you know, sometimes on those odd occasions
01:14:50when you have a romantic thought,
01:14:52and then that thought becomes a possibility,
01:14:54and then before you know where you are,
01:14:56it's a cast-iron certainty.
01:14:58And I was Sir Percival's son.
01:14:59How could she not be impressed?
01:15:02But Aggie wasn't impressed, was she?
01:15:04Well, she tried to be polite,
01:15:05and I went along with it at first,
01:15:07but then I said we hadn't got much time,
01:15:09and perhaps we should move things forward.
01:15:11Well, she was appalled.
01:15:14Said she wanted to go and check on Francis.
01:15:17He was crying, and, er...
01:15:20I-I stopped her.
01:15:22I didn't let her see him.
01:15:24For how long?
01:15:25Well, I thought I heard a thump or a thud or something,
01:15:30but I-I just ignored it
01:15:32because I had other things on my mind.
01:15:34And Aggie heard it too,
01:15:37told me to open the door.
01:15:39She said it over and over again,
01:15:40and when I refused, she slapped me,
01:15:42and then she dodged by me,
01:15:43and her first thought was to go and check on Francis.
01:15:46And that's when I heard her scream.
01:15:51And by the time you got there?
01:15:54Well, to my eternal shame, I blamed her.
01:15:58I-I said it was all her fault,
01:16:01and that I would see her locked up for life.
01:16:05So she ran,
01:16:07knowing that no one would believe her word against yours,
01:16:10the son of Sir Percival Bruce.
01:16:13She came to see me a few nights ago.
01:16:16She told me she was going to tell Myrtle the truth.
01:16:19Well, everybody, in fact.
01:16:21Why now, after all this time?
01:16:23Well, Noah wants to set up permanent residence on the grounds,
01:16:26but I didn't kill her, I swear.
01:16:28I didn't even try to get that damn Teddy back.
01:16:32I just stood there, frozen,
01:16:35in this pathetic excuse that I call my life.
01:16:43I don't know.
01:16:49Winter.
01:17:00Sir, I looked into Saj's financials, like you said,
01:17:03and the odd thing was that Sylvia paid for Brad's room
01:17:06the night he turned up in Godly Buzzard.
01:17:08But she said that she didn't meet him that day.
01:17:10I think we'd better talk to her.
01:17:13Also, Fleur's tech team found a smudge of blue ink
01:17:16on Kimini's laptop.
01:17:17It was only tiny, but she's going to run it.
01:17:19Tell her there's no me.
01:17:20Yeah, I already have, sir.
01:17:22Because it's probably from the stamp
01:17:24that Sylvia uses in her library.
01:17:26You won't jump ahead of me, Winter.
01:17:27There is a first time for everything, sir.
01:17:29You should get a bonus for all the things you've taught me.
01:17:33Did tech have any luck with Kimini's laptop?
01:17:36They managed to retrieve most of the data,
01:17:38but it was just the speeding reports that she'd been filing.
01:17:41And I see.
01:17:42Hmm.
01:17:45I should go and talk to her before she heads off.
01:17:55Sylvia, I wanted to ask, why did you pay for Brad's room
01:17:58the night that the flower festival was rained off?
01:18:01Who said that we hadn't met him that day?
01:18:05Sylvia?
01:18:08Sylvia?
01:18:14Put your foot down, Winter.
01:18:26Nice.
01:18:31Can't get round her, sir.
01:18:33See if there's somewhere to pass up ahead.
01:18:35Oh, following me!
01:18:38What's she doing? Where's she going?
01:18:39She's on her way to Godly Manor.
01:18:44You can't go and live with that excuse for an uncle.
01:18:46I can do what the hell I like.
01:18:48Noah's going to try and take all of this from us.
01:18:51It's not just the grounds he wants.
01:18:52He'll come for his share of the house.
01:18:54And you think I'm on your side?
01:18:55I hope he gets the lot.
01:18:58Frankie.
01:18:59Frankie!
01:19:00Frankie!
01:19:08She's heading for the gate, sir.
01:19:09She's going to go straight through them, sir.
01:19:15Frankie!
01:19:16Sylvia!
01:19:17What are you doing?
01:19:18They know.
01:19:19Know what?
01:19:20What I did.
01:19:21Pull yourself together, Sylvia.
01:19:22I killed him, Mother.
01:19:23I killed him.
01:19:25I killed him.
01:19:26What the hell is going on?
01:19:30Shaking like a leaf.
01:19:31Sylvia, I don't understand.
01:19:32Ask them.
01:19:33They know.
01:19:34They know.
01:19:35Stop saying that.
01:19:36Well, somebody talk to me.
01:19:37Tell them, then.
01:19:38Tell them what I did.
01:19:39I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia.
01:19:40I didn't see him.
01:19:41The road was empty one minute.
01:19:42The road was empty one minute.
01:19:43The next.
01:19:44He was just standing there.
01:19:45I didn't see him.
01:19:46He was just standing there right in front of me.
01:19:47Who is she talking about?
01:19:48I'm shaking like a leaf.
01:19:49She's shaking like a leaf.
01:19:50Sylvia, I don't understand.
01:19:53Ask them.
01:19:54They know.
01:19:55Stop saying that.
01:19:56Well, somebody talk to me.
01:19:57Well, tell them, then.
01:19:59Tell them what I did.
01:20:00I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia.
01:20:03I didn't see him.
01:20:07The road was empty one minute.
01:20:10The next.
01:20:11He was just standing there right in front of me.
01:20:13Who is she talking about?
01:20:15Jiminy Bullitt's husband, Lawrence.
01:20:17What?
01:20:18Sylvia?
01:20:19Right.
01:20:20Don't say another word.
01:20:21Alan, call your solicitor.
01:20:22Tell us what happened, Sylvia.
01:20:24Leave my daughter alone.
01:20:26Alan, call Charles now.
01:20:28Josh.
01:20:29I didn't think anyone had seen me,
01:20:32so I drove off not knowing what to do.
01:20:35I was in such a state, though.
01:20:37I had to pull over, thought I was going to be sick.
01:20:40A few minutes later, there was a tap on the side of the library.
01:20:44Brad had seen what you'd done.
01:20:46He made me pay for his room at Sash's pub.
01:20:49He was really after something else.
01:20:52I'm so sorry.
01:20:55I'm so sorry.
01:20:57He wanted to be in the manor.
01:21:00He wanted a portrait of his own.
01:21:02He wanted it all.
01:21:03So he told me I had to make sure you married him.
01:21:09Doesn't anyone want me for who I am?
01:21:11I know.
01:21:12I know, and I hated him so much for it.
01:21:14I wanted to rescue you, Frankie.
01:21:16I wanted so many things.
01:21:18Winter?
01:21:19As I learned at great cost last year,
01:21:21there are certain perennials that shouldn't be planted next to each other.
01:21:24Kim and E would know that better than anyone.
01:21:27I think we found Brad's phone.
01:21:29And on it, no doubt, we'll find out why it had to be buried.
01:21:32Mm-hmm.
01:21:33Am I right, Frankie?
01:21:38I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:21:40I know it was you who smashed up Kim and E's laptop.
01:21:43Me?
01:21:44I had no idea that even happened.
01:21:46I saw a list of number plates on a document that Kim and E was putting together.
01:21:51Your friend Cordelia's number plate was on it along with a date and time.
01:21:55Then talk to Cordelia, not me.
01:21:57Ironically, that was actually the very thing you were trying to prevent.
01:22:01When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:22:04It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:22:07And don't think you can get away with this at night, either.
01:22:09I'm on guard 24-7.
01:22:11You took Cordelia's car after everyone had passed out after your celebrations.
01:22:17You drove it up here not thinking for a minute that Kim and E would still be out monitoring the roads.
01:22:23She was going to post her findings on Monday, and the moment Cordelia received her speeding notice, she would have questioned it.
01:22:30You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:22:36Is this true?
01:22:37Not a word of it.
01:22:38And who stays up half the night looking for speeders?
01:22:41Kim and E did.
01:22:42She was heartbroken after Lauren.
01:22:44She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:22:46We know that the cuckoo clock had been moved high enough to kill Brad.
01:22:51And who would have known Brad's height better than you?
01:22:55Try my mother.
01:22:56She seemed to have spent a lot of time with him.
01:22:59Yes, mother, I knew that earring was yours.
01:23:02Would you like to tell us what's on the phone, Frankie?
01:23:06It won't take us long to access it.
01:23:20Well, when you put it like that...
01:23:22Frankie...
01:23:29It was the look on his face that did it.
01:23:31It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:23:36I knew what he was thinking.
01:23:39So I sent him a message.
01:23:41Why don't we steal the clock and run away together?
01:23:45He agreed.
01:23:46Said we should do it after things had died down.
01:23:49But you came up here and rigged the clock.
01:23:51Because I knew he was lying.
01:23:53He wanted it all for himself.
01:23:57I hoped I was wrong, but sometimes you just know.
01:24:01It was horrible to watch.
01:24:06How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:24:24at the right time i didn't matter what time it was frankie knew brad will turn the hour hands to
01:24:32get the cuckoo to come out regardless tell me about nessie presumably you saw her up at the house
01:24:41kimberly i just got your message oh my god are you sure it's her
01:24:48i can't i just can't not while there's breath in my body i hadn't a clue who my mother was talking
01:24:56about until you realized there was only one person your mother could hate that much aggie marlowe
01:25:04and there she was carrying francis's teddy so you took revenge for your brother how could i not
01:25:11she's responsible for this nightmare i call my life only she wasn't what i suggest you speak to sir
01:25:21alan about that i'm curious about the blue ink on kim and his laptop presumably you wanted to throw us
01:25:30off the trail sorry sis you all but forced me into loving brad it was his doing not mine but i didn't
01:25:39know that did i i believed every word he said i'm your sister i was put in a horrible position you
01:25:45want to know about horrible positions try killing three people most people would have just called
01:25:51off the engagement blame them they made me that way i grew up being rejected for not being what they
01:25:58desperately wanted and there i was again not being what brad wanted
01:26:03what's a girl to do
01:26:11though i rather hoped i was always one step ahead of you if it's any consolation you were
01:26:20but you always saw the wood despite the trees
01:26:22oh how ironic
01:26:30i don't understand you frankie how are you saying all these things as if you didn't have a care in
01:26:36the world because i learned from the worst if only you and father had wanted me it's just a simple
01:26:43little thing like loving a child but it was beyond both of you
01:26:54i hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for
01:27:13that's it almost there
