00:00:00Absolute disgrace!
00:00:07See how he likes it when no one turns off?
00:00:11This will teach him.
00:00:18Hey, they've been at it all morning. It's killing my business.
00:00:21It's all I've seen. They're all over the village.
00:00:30Blue or grey?
00:00:32That's fairly good.
00:00:36Blue it is, then.
00:00:48Brad!
00:00:50Good girl.
00:00:51Thanks for coming.
00:00:53Did Brad rob a jewelers?
00:00:55I'd have stolen the crown jewels to get Frankie to say yes.
00:01:00What's with your parents?
00:01:02They can't even stretch to real champagne.
00:01:04Well, this is a step up for them.
00:01:06I was expecting tap water.
00:01:11Cordelia, hi.
00:01:12I'm not drinking this. It's not real champagne.
00:01:18I don't know what you're smiling about.
00:01:20The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:23Fear not, my dear. Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:27What's that mean?
00:01:28Oh, what have you done now?
00:01:30There's nothing else.
00:01:31No, unfortunately not.
00:01:36Oh, they're beautiful.
00:01:38Thank you, Kim and E.
00:01:40I was hoping you might hire me to do the flowers on your big day.
00:01:44Oh, I...
00:01:45Yeah, we're not really making any clear cut decisions yet.
00:01:49It's good to see you.
00:01:50I'm all right.
00:01:51I think I'm getting a cold.
00:01:52I might be over the moon for Frankie.
00:01:56This is me being over the moon.
00:01:58Who the hell is that?
00:01:59Yes!
00:02:00It's amazing, isn't it?
00:02:01My mum used to tell me about this place.
00:02:02Why have you stopped?
00:02:03Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:04Yes.
00:02:05You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:06I can't do this on my own.
00:02:07You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:08Not me.
00:02:09Come on, guys.
00:02:10Come on, guys.
00:02:11Yeah, all right.
00:02:12Come on.
00:02:13Come on, but...
00:02:14...come on.
00:02:15Come on.
00:02:16Come on, guys.
00:02:17Come on.
00:02:18Come on.
00:02:19Come on.
00:02:20Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:21Yes.
00:02:22You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:23I can't do this on my own.
00:02:24You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:25Not me.
00:02:26Come on, guys.
00:02:36Come on.
00:02:37Come on.
00:02:38Now, I presume. How shall we handle this? Like Livingston and Stanley? It's, it's a bigger moment than that.
00:02:54Oh. Oh. Oh. Yes. Um. Girls, I want you to meet your uncle. We don't have an uncle. What on earth is going on?
00:03:03Myrtle, this is my half-brother, Noah, and suffice to say, until recently, neither of us knew the other existed.
00:03:09Hi. Well, it's great to meet you all. I didn't want to turn up empty-handed. Oh, that's, um, that's lovely.
00:03:24Time starts now, as they say. Oh, nice.
00:03:36Coo-coo. Wow. Come on, everyone. Let's get a photo of you all by the clock. Well, it's a big moment. Old family, new family, family of the future.
00:03:59Yeah? I'm not family. Just smile and say cheese.
00:04:06Coo-coo. Coo-coo.
00:04:09Love. Hang on. We need the happy couple in the middle.
00:04:13Oh, yeah. Come on.
00:04:15Am I gonna get my share? You have your reward for marrying my daughter.
00:04:18That's not what we... Agreed, Alan. It's so, Alan, to you.
00:04:23Oh, very nice. That's it. Well done, everyone.
00:04:32Please, have a drink up.
00:04:34I've got a drink up.
00:04:36No.
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No.
00:04:40No.
00:04:41No.
00:04:42No.
00:04:43No.
00:04:44No.
00:04:45No.
00:04:46No.
00:04:47No.
00:04:48No.
00:04:49No.
00:04:50No.
00:04:51No.
00:04:52No.
00:04:53No.
00:04:58No.
00:04:59No.
00:05:00No.
00:05:01What?
00:05:02No?
00:05:03No.
00:05:13No.
00:05:14Yeah.
00:05:45I thought I was going to build this.
00:05:59Yeah, you did think that.
00:06:01And then I decided it needs doing properly.
00:06:03As you are well aware, my grandfather was a master carpenter.
00:06:08He was a carpenter.
00:06:09You make a brilliant detective.
00:06:14Oh, Winter.
00:06:15Sir, what are you building?
00:06:18Well, if I do it, it's going to be in Arbor.
00:06:20And if John does it...
00:06:21Presumably there's a reason you're here this early.
00:06:22I thought it'd be this place.
00:06:29I thought it'd be this place.
00:06:41I almost came here last year.
00:06:47They have an annual flower festival.
00:06:49I know you're into horticulture, Winter.
00:06:51I'm not, but this girl I was seeing was...
00:06:53When you say you almost came here...
00:06:56Well, when she took one look at my house plants, she decided that I wasn't the one for her.
00:06:59Apparently I put the wrong perennials next to each other in the same pot.
00:07:02Small margins, Winter.
00:07:03Well, how am I supposed to know that some plants don't get on?
00:07:05Looks like more police are arriving.
00:07:15Do you think I should go up there?
00:07:18Then do what?
00:07:19I don't actually know.
00:07:20Well, I mean, how do brothers brother?
00:07:30There.
00:07:39Where did you get to last night?
00:07:41I woke up and you weren't there.
00:07:42I, uh, I had a nightmare.
00:07:44I took a walk to calm down.
00:07:45If your brother needs you, he will tell you.
00:07:59Hello?
00:08:01Here's a new one for you.
00:08:03The poor fellow was pecked to death.
00:08:07Pecked?
00:08:08I didn't realize it was the murder weapon until it struck the hour and stabbed one of my sockers.
00:08:13He's like he is tall.
00:08:16Well, taller than the victim.
00:08:17Watch this.
00:08:19Um, better stand back first.
00:08:24Further?
00:08:34Well, I've seen everything now.
00:08:36The victim's name was Brad Furbank.
00:08:40Aged 29.
00:08:42Time of death?
00:08:43Judging from his lividity and rigor, I'd say he'd been dead at least five hours.
00:08:48Well, that will put it about three o'clock this morning.
00:08:50Who found him?
00:08:51The lady of the house.
00:08:53Myrtle Bruce.
00:08:54She lives here with her husband, Sir Alan.
00:08:57Where was the clock hanging?
00:08:58It was level with that ghoulish portrait.
00:09:02The cuckoo stabbed Brad and he came tumbling down the stairs.
00:09:07Well, it seems they were right all along.
00:09:09Time is indeed the enemy.
00:09:11I couldn't believe it.
00:09:17Brad was just lying at the foot of the stairs.
00:09:20What time was this?
00:09:22Probably about seven.
00:09:23You hadn't heard anything before that, say around three this morning?
00:09:27I had a bit too much to drink last night.
00:09:32So I was out like a light.
00:09:34Don't look at me.
00:09:38I tend to sleep the sleep of the just.
00:09:41Quiet.
00:09:42Tell me about Brad.
00:09:45Presumably he lived here with you.
00:09:47Oh, goodness, no.
00:09:48He's been staying at the Raging Stag.
00:09:50It's a pub in the village.
00:09:52Would either of you know why he came here in the middle of the night?
00:09:55I hadn't a clue what Brad was doing here.
00:10:01Presumably he was coming to see you.
00:10:03But he knew I was out last night with my friends carrying on the celebrations.
00:10:09So it was our engagement party yesterday.
00:10:13It's all right.
00:10:14I'm here.
00:10:14When did you get back to Godly Manor?
00:10:17I didn't.
00:10:18My friends and I crashed at Cordelia's flat.
00:10:21I can't believe this.
00:10:23I'm sorry.
00:10:23I just have a few more questions.
00:10:27When did you last see Brad?
00:10:29Yesterday evening.
00:10:31Before I left with my friends.
00:10:32That was around nine, I think.
00:10:35And did anything untoward happen before then?
00:10:37Does the arrival of an uncle we never knew he had qualify?
00:10:41The clock was a gift.
00:10:43From a brother-in-law I didn't know I had.
00:10:46It's a long story.
00:10:48I'd still like to hear it.
00:10:50Well, my father, Sir Percival Bruce, sired Noah out of wedlock.
00:10:55Noah?
00:10:55Noah Connoboy.
00:10:57Now, I had no idea he existed until the family solicitor told me at my father's funeral.
00:11:02Was this recently?
00:11:03Uh, about six weeks ago.
00:11:06So I asked Brad to search for him.
00:11:09He's very good at the internet.
00:11:10Well, was.
00:11:14So, Noah turned up with the clock?
00:11:16Yes, he said that he'd made it especially for the occasion.
00:11:19Shall I save you some time?
00:11:21The only reason Noah's here is to claim his share.
00:11:24Oh, so you think Sir Alan was the intended target?
00:11:27A child of five could tell you that.
00:11:30So, off you trot and go and arrest Noah.
00:11:33He'll be outside, contaminating our grounds.
00:11:35What my darling wife means is that Noah's arrived with his troupe.
00:11:39They put on oldie-worldie woodworking festivals.
00:11:43Very popular, apparently.
00:11:44Brings people from far and wide.
00:11:46So we don't need some limp flower festival when we can replace it with something much more popular.
00:11:52Did Brad work in the village?
00:11:57He could work anywhere.
00:11:59He was in Bitcoin.
00:12:00He was doing really well.
00:12:01Always on his phone, checking the markets.
00:12:04So you didn't have an argument with someone in godly buzzards, are you?
00:12:07Oh, Brad, never.
00:12:09He was really popular.
00:12:10My sister can vouch for that.
00:12:11He was lovely.
00:12:13Never seen Frankie as happy.
00:12:19You know, I nearly came to the flower festival last year.
00:12:22Would have been a waste of time.
00:12:24It was rained off.
00:12:25Worst thunderstorm in decades.
00:12:27Destroyed all the flower beds.
00:12:28It was an absolute disaster.
00:12:30Well, hopefully it'll be different this year.
00:12:32No chance.
00:12:34The village have boycotted it.
00:12:35Our magnanimous father decided to charge double this year.
00:12:39Which made a lot of people very angry.
00:13:01We're looking for a Noah Connor boy.
00:13:03That will be me.
00:13:04Oh, I saw you earlier.
00:13:06But you were, um, a bit taller.
00:13:09Oh, yeah.
00:13:10Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:13:15Sorry, I'm Nessie.
00:13:17Nessie Copeland.
00:13:18What's happening up at the house?
00:13:20I'm afraid we have reason to believe that, um,
00:13:22Brad Furbank was murdered last night.
00:13:25Murdered?
00:13:27Are you serious?
00:13:28That's awful.
00:13:29And what can you tell us about the cuckoo clock?
00:13:34It tells the time.
00:13:36What else is there to say?
00:13:37Did you build it yourself?
00:13:39I craft everything myself.
00:13:40Sorry, why are you asking about a cuckoo clock?
00:13:44Its spring had been tightened to a murderous degree.
00:13:48A sharp piece of metal had been attached to the cuckoo's beak.
00:13:51The second it chimed, it sprang out, and I'm sure you can work out the rest.
00:13:57Everyone saw the clock yesterday.
00:13:59There wasn't anything attached to the beak.
00:14:02Um, there was a woman taking photos.
00:14:05That'll prove it.
00:14:06Uh, I think she was called Kimony.
00:14:09Runs the flower shop in the village.
00:14:10This has nothing to do with Noah.
00:14:14Did either of you notice anything, um, off at the engagement party?
00:14:18I-I wasn't there.
00:14:20I was here with the others setting up.
00:14:21There's a lot to do.
00:14:22Alan wants me to put on a festival.
00:14:25He couldn't get me here quick enough.
00:14:26Did you know your father owned all of this?
00:14:28I was born in the village.
00:14:30It wasn't long before my mother upped sticks.
00:14:33But she often told me about this place.
00:14:37Is that your way of saying that you did know?
00:14:41When you put it like that, I guess it is.
00:14:48Well, sir, Noah could have been trying to kill Sir Alan,
00:14:51because there's obviously something to gain.
00:14:53I can see it now.
00:14:53He-he sneaks back up to the house, rigs the clock,
00:14:55and then potentially inherits the lot.
00:14:57But how would he know Sir Alan was going to get so close to it,
00:15:00and at the exact time?
00:15:03Fleur.
00:15:04It's called a dibbler.
00:15:06Say that again.
00:15:07Gardeners use it to make holes in the ground.
00:15:09Oh, thanks as ever, Fleur.
00:15:11I'm still talking.
00:15:12The so-called emeralds in its eyes are paste,
00:15:15and the beak is gold plate.
00:15:18May look a million dollars,
00:15:19but it's worth less than a real cuckoo.
00:15:20Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak is called a dibbler.
00:15:28What's a dibbler when it's home?
00:15:30If you'd bothered looking after your houseplants, Winter,
00:15:32you would know that a dibbler is a tool that gardeners use.
00:15:36And now, murderers, apparently.
00:15:45Sorry, mate.
00:15:46We don't need the extra kegs.
00:15:49Blame the village for boycotting the flower festival.
00:15:51I'm not going to shift a tenth of what I normally do this time of year.
00:15:54Sorry, pal.
00:15:55Mr. Solanke.
00:16:08Were you aware that Brad had gone up to Godly Manor
00:16:12in the early hours of this morning?
00:16:14Did he?
00:16:15I didn't know.
00:16:16When was the last time you saw him?
00:16:18Last night, just before I locked up.
00:16:21Did you notice anything unusual at the engagement party?
00:16:24Not really, no.
00:16:26Well, not unless you count that moment with Kimony.
00:16:30Kimony?
00:16:30Kimony Bullet.
00:16:32Brad told her not to do the flowers for the wedding
00:16:34and she seemed quite annoyed, but not murderously so.
00:16:39And did you see the clock being hung on the wall?
00:16:41Everyone saw it.
00:16:42It was a work of art.
00:16:44Wish I had skills like that.
00:16:45I can barely put up a shelf.
00:16:47Should have listened to her mother and done her corset.
00:16:48Thank you, Mr. Solanke.
00:16:50My team will obviously need access to Brad's room.
00:16:54Why he wasn't killed here.
00:16:57We need to go through Brad's things.
00:16:59We're still to locate his phone, for one thing.
00:17:02I see.
00:17:03Problem?
00:17:04No, no.
00:17:05Not at all.
00:17:05Well, there must have been a sale on at the mirror shop.
00:17:27Well, we've got a charger.
00:17:29But still no sign of a phone.
00:17:31Sounds to me like someone doesn't want it to be found.
00:17:36Dr. Perkins?
00:17:37Hey, Fever.
00:17:38I know the feeling.
00:17:39There you are.
00:17:39Within five yards of a mustard plant.
00:17:43Diamond?
00:17:44Not real this time.
00:17:46That's probably Frankie's.
00:17:47Brad liked to splash out on her.
00:17:50Please remove yourself, Mr. Solanke.
00:17:53I've never seen anything like this.
00:17:55Well, not for real.
00:17:57It's my mum wanting me to do a course in forensics.
00:18:06Will you be done soon?
00:18:07I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mrs. Solanke.
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:11We're done.
00:18:21For now.
00:18:22I don't know.
00:18:52What are you doing, Kimini?
00:19:17It's me.
00:19:18Being you doesn't exonerate you, Sylvia.
00:19:20Brad's just been murdered, for goodness sake.
00:19:22Surely you can be a bit lenient.
00:19:23I'm in shock.
00:19:24Then you shouldn't be out driving in the first place.
00:19:27This isn't just a speeding offence.
00:19:29It's a whole lot more than that.
00:19:31And you know it.
00:19:35Is this you for the rest of your life now?
00:19:38Punishing drivers day and night?
00:19:40I'm close for the day.
00:19:56Kimini bullet, I take it.
00:19:58The boycott of the flower festival can't be helping business.
00:20:09The village are furious with Sir Alan.
00:20:12He tried to turn a quaint tradition into a corporate cash grab.
00:20:16I heard he doubled the entrance fee.
00:20:17Almost tripled it, if you include having to pay for parking.
00:20:20Oh, which reminds me, I need to make a note of Sylvia's speeding offence.
00:20:25I send them in every Monday, first thing.
00:20:30Noah Connoboy said you took some photos that included the cuckoo clock.
00:20:35Uh...
00:20:36Well, I'll need you to email that to me.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:48Usually, this time of year, there's a queue all the way from the green to get in here.
00:20:55You can't have been happy with Sir Alan.
00:20:57That's an understatement.
00:20:58Yet, still, you went to the engagement party.
00:21:03Myrtle and I have been friends for decades.
00:21:05I could hardly let her down on Frankie's big day.
00:21:08Hmm.
00:21:08Have you sold any of these lately?
00:21:18Who needs a dibbler when there's no flower festival?
00:21:21Thanks to Sir Alan, I couldn't give them away right now.
00:21:24I know a very good jeweller if you want to sell that ring.
00:21:41How could you be so thoughtless?
00:21:43There's no need to bite my head off.
00:21:45We're all trying to process what happened.
00:21:47It's not just you, Frankie.
00:21:49It's a big loss for us as well.
00:21:50This is my pain.
00:21:52It's not yours.
00:21:54Don't you dare try and hijack it.
00:21:55Look, why don't we try to concentrate on the positives?
00:21:58We've got this wonderful festival of wood, thanks to Noah,
00:22:01and we'll have tons of people streaming in,
00:22:03and that's mainly down to Brad.
00:22:05God rest his soul.
00:22:06My word, these people.
00:22:08No one's going to pay to see a freak show.
00:22:10Au contraire, my dear.
00:22:11It'll be the height of popularity.
00:22:13We were in the middle of talking.
00:22:15I'm sorry, dear.
00:22:15I thought you'd said your piece.
00:22:18Why did it have to be Brad that got killed?
00:22:22And not one of you.
00:22:23Come on.
00:22:44Hello.
00:22:45Oh, hello again.
00:22:48How can I help?
00:22:49I do flowers for all occasions.
00:22:52A good thing, too.
00:22:53Now we've got a funeral coming up.
00:22:56Oh, God.
00:22:56I didn't think.
00:22:58Don't worry.
00:22:58It's easy.
00:22:59I'm not here about flowers.
00:23:01A little birdie told me you're the head of the village council.
00:23:05Well, someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:23:06Perfect.
00:23:08Because I'd need to know about the grounds at Godly Manor.
00:23:11Only we were due to put on a festival of wood at Badger's Drift a few weeks back, but
00:23:15the village voted against it, even though we were holding our event on private land.
00:23:21Well, there are a few archaic laws floating around.
00:23:24Alan got me here so quickly I didn't have a chance to check.
00:23:27You're putting on a festival at the manor?
00:23:31He said it was to replace a flower day or something.
00:23:35I see.
00:23:37He thinks it could become a permanent thing if it goes well, which it always does.
00:23:42Noah?
00:23:43Sweetheart.
00:23:43Can we get back now?
00:23:47Yes, yes.
00:23:48Be an angel and find out about those bylaws.
00:23:50Sure.
00:23:57Call me back when you get this.
00:24:00I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:24:03I'm getting bad vibes about this place.
00:24:16I think we should pack up and go.
00:24:18And leave my brother at his lowest ebb.
00:24:21You know why you're really here.
00:24:24He's using you.
00:24:26His flower festival isn't happening, and he needed something to take its place.
00:24:29I wasn't born yesterday, Des.
00:24:31You're happy to be you?
00:24:34Credit me with some brains.
00:24:36I want something out of this as well.
00:24:37Look around.
00:24:40I'm owed half of this.
00:24:42Noah, you promised me.
00:24:43You said it would be two or three days at the most.
00:24:46That was before we got here.
00:24:48Well, I'm not staying here a second longer than I have to.
00:24:50What's got into you?
00:24:52There's someone who grew up around here.
00:24:53I thought he'd enjoy being back.
00:24:56I hate it here.
00:24:57What?
00:24:59Why would you say that?
00:25:00After this weekend, we are leaving.
00:25:03We are never coming back.
00:25:05I mean it, Noah.
00:25:06Call me back when you get this.
00:25:24I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:27Kimmy, I just got your message.
00:25:38Oh, my God.
00:25:40Are you sure it's her?
00:25:43I can't.
00:25:43I just can't.
00:25:46Not while there's breath in my body.
00:25:47You're not working today.
00:25:55I blame Winter for running late.
00:25:58Did you know he got dumped last year because he planted some flowers the wrong way?
00:26:01Well, it's the little things in life, John.
00:26:03You've got to get them just right.
00:26:05But don't worry.
00:26:05You're getting there.
00:26:07So, what do you think so far would Grandad approve?
00:26:10If you don't mind me saying, it looks a bit lopsided.
00:26:11Very funny.
00:26:16Oh, I see where you've been going wrong.
00:26:18Here, look.
00:26:18You've had this upside down.
00:26:20You tear that and you're in big trouble.
00:26:25Oh, Penny!
00:26:25Penny!
00:26:26Oh, Penny!
00:26:27Ow!
00:26:29It's all right.
00:26:30I can try it off.
00:26:32Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:26:35Did I mention Carpentry's in my jeans?
00:26:38I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:26:46Tell me what's wrong with this picture, Winter.
00:26:50Cuckoo's the only one that's smiling.
00:26:53Look at the clock.
00:26:55It's not level with the top of the painting.
00:26:57Fleur said it was level with Sir Alan's portrait,
00:27:00but here it's at least four inches lower.
00:27:02So someone moved it.
00:27:04Look who is level with the portrait.
00:27:06Brad.
00:27:07Which most likely means he was the intended target, after all.
00:27:12Well, talking of Brad, sir, here's a strange one.
00:27:14Tech managed to get into his laptop,
00:27:16but as far as they could tell,
00:27:17he wasn't doing anything in Bitcoin.
00:27:19Truth is, he barely had a penny to his name.
00:27:22Then how did he pay for Frankie's engagement rate?
00:27:24Well, there's no sign of it in his accounts
00:27:25or credit card statements.
00:27:27Also, we heard back from his mobile phone provider,
00:27:29and they confirmed that his phone was switched off
00:27:31at the time of the murder.
00:27:32Presumably, they sent over a record of his recent calls and texts.
00:27:36Yeah, nothing unusual out of the ordinary.
00:27:41Also, sir, there is this.
00:27:44This was found under Brad's bed at the pub.
00:27:46Now, I presume that it belongs to Frankie,
00:27:48but I think it's worth checking.
00:27:49Did anything come back on Kim and E. Bullitt?
00:27:56Ah, yes.
00:27:57I found out that her husband was killed in a hit-and-run a year ago,
00:28:01and the driver was never traced.
00:28:03Well, that explains the speed gun
00:28:04and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:28:06Intriguingly, the hit-and-run happened on the same day
00:28:09that the flower festival was rained off.
00:28:12And almost exactly a year to the day,
00:28:15Brad Furbank is pecked to death,
00:28:17as Fleur so eloquently put it.
00:28:20If he didn't know that the emeralds and gold were fake,
00:28:23imagine what seeing them might mean to him,
00:28:26someone who's not only penniless,
00:28:27but also a proven liar.
00:28:30You mean he went there to steal it?
00:28:33Why else would he be there at three in the morning?
00:28:35So someone booby-trapped the bird
00:28:37and then re-hung the clock,
00:28:38knowing that he would come for it?
00:28:40That's exactly what they did, Winter.
00:28:45I'll speak to Frankie.
00:28:47You talk to her sister, Sylvia.
00:28:49I want to find out what they did
00:28:51or didn't know about Brad.
00:28:54And while you're at it, I need a book.
00:28:58A book?
00:28:58On woodwork.
00:29:04My sweetheart, come along
00:29:07Don't you hear the fond song
00:29:09The sweet note of the nightingale fro
00:29:13Don't you hear the fond tale
00:29:16Of the sweet nightingale
00:29:19As she sings in those valleys below
00:29:22Oh, sorry, we don't open until tomorrow.
00:29:35I'm not a visitor.
00:29:36All the same.
00:29:38I'm Frankie.
00:29:38Oh, I mean Francesca, Bruce
00:29:42Myrtle and Alan's daughter
00:29:44Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your fiancé
00:29:49Oh, thank you
00:29:52That actually means more than you realise
00:29:54I'm Nessie
00:29:56Noah's partner, were you looking for him?
00:29:58No
00:29:59I just needed to go on a wander
00:30:00How long will you be here for?
00:30:07Oh, hopefully just for the weekend
00:30:09If I can convince Noah
00:30:11Well, he wants to stay longer
00:30:13He thinks he can make a permanent home here
00:30:15Has he told my father that?
00:30:18Doesn't matter if he has
00:30:19I'm going to convince him to up sticks
00:30:21Couldn't hit me with you
00:30:23Could you?
00:30:24That was a joke
00:30:25Well, sort of
00:30:26Frankie, if you want to get away
00:30:29Then do it
00:30:30I did the same myself
00:30:32Years ago
00:30:33Left godly buzzard
00:30:34And never looked back
00:30:36And now you're the singing stilts lady
00:30:38And I can see for miles and miles
00:30:41To the horizon and beyond
00:30:42I'd love to try that one day
00:30:46Lise
00:30:49Let's see if you've got a head for heights
00:30:54You're right, you can see everything
00:31:11Frankie
00:31:15You have a moment
00:31:17Do me a very large favour, Sylvia
00:31:24Slap these up everywhere
00:31:27I'm working
00:31:28Yes, but you also have a civil duty
00:31:30To assist any knight of the realm
00:31:32Whenever he should so request
00:31:33For God's sake, Dad
00:31:34You're not a sir
00:31:35Grandad was the sir
00:31:37You don't inherit that title
00:31:38You have to have it bestowed
00:31:39Yes, well, I was a DIY bestowment
00:31:41Really shot my bloody ear off, actually
00:31:44Ah, have you found the culprit?
00:31:46The investigation's still ongoing
00:31:47Well, chop, chop
00:31:48Because the wonderful Noah's Bar
00:31:50Is opening tomorrow morning
00:31:5110 a.m. sharp
00:31:53More questions?
00:31:58Yes
00:31:58Do you mind if I step inside?
00:32:04Miss Bruce
00:32:05Can you start by telling me what you really thought of Brad?
00:32:09I already made that clear
00:32:10I liked him
00:32:12I liked him
00:32:12A lot
00:32:13Presumably you didn't know that he was a conman and a thief
00:32:15I'm sorry, he was what?
00:32:18We found antihistamine in Brad's room at the pub
00:32:21It's for hay fever
00:32:23What sort on earth was he doing showing up at a flower festival?
00:32:25And that makes him a thief
00:32:28Well, there's a good chance that he was casing the house with the intention of robbing it later
00:32:32It's a well-known ploy
00:32:33Stately homes throw open their doors
00:32:35But they never truly know who they're inviting inside
00:32:37Brad did nothing of the sort
00:32:38All he did was meet my sister and fall madly in love
00:32:41Or he realised that there was more to gain from seducing Frankie and marrying into the family
00:32:46Please stop
00:32:48This is awful
00:32:49I've never seen it before
00:32:53Where did you find it?
00:32:56It was in Brad's room at the pub
00:32:58This earring
00:33:04It doesn't mean he was
00:33:07No, Brad wouldn't do that to me
00:33:10How did you meet?
00:33:16It was on the eve of last year's War of the Roses festival
00:33:20We had a private preview
00:33:22We ended up talking, so I took him on a tour of the house
00:33:25He asked to see inside?
00:33:27He seemed really keen
00:33:28I got the impression he liked me
00:33:31How much did you know about his Bitcoin business?
00:33:36Only what he told me, but he was doing great
00:33:38I'm afraid he was lying to you, Frankie
00:33:40He didn't have a penny to his name
00:33:43Of course he did
00:33:44Have you seen this ring?
00:33:46Why would he say that?
00:33:47He was overdrawn and owed money everywhere
00:33:49No, he was always splashing out on me
00:33:51You need to get your facts straight
00:33:54Please don't let this be true
00:34:04It's been hard enough
00:34:07Trying to convince my parents I'm worthy of their love
00:34:09And now this
00:34:12Is that all you wanted?
00:34:17Only my father's given me a job to do
00:34:19Were you around when Kimini's husband was killed in the hit and run?
00:34:23What's that got to do with what happened to Brad?
00:34:25Well, we're aware that he showed up at Godly Manor
00:34:27The same day that it happened
00:34:28I remember spotting him with Frankie and wondering who he was
00:34:32But I didn't give it another thought
00:34:34Not till she introduced him a few weeks later
00:34:36I need to get on
00:34:38Oh, and I need a book
00:34:40On woodwork
00:34:43Do you have children?
00:34:54Chief Inspector
00:34:55A daughter
00:34:57And you love her, right?
00:35:01You love her with every fibre of your being
00:35:04Well, can you imagine what it's like when the opposite is true?
00:35:09Can you imagine what that would be like for your daughter?
00:35:15I can't see myself being anything other than in awe of her
00:35:19That's because you didn't bring her into this world for all the wrong reasons
00:35:26I had a brother, Chief Inspector
00:35:30Francis
00:35:32Well, what I mean when I say I had a brother is
00:35:35He died when he was just over a year old
00:35:38And I was conceived shortly afterwards
00:35:41But solely in the hope that my parents could somehow recreate him
00:35:47Myrtle, it was so long ago
00:35:52I was probably seeing things
00:35:55Don't backtrack now
00:35:58Something made you think you saw Aggie Marlowe
00:36:00Now, what was it?
00:36:02It was the way she wouldn't look at me
00:36:04Like she didn't want to be recognised
00:36:06Perhaps you could have her arrested this time around
00:36:10What are you talking about?
00:36:12The police said Francis' death was due to natural causes
00:36:16There's no arrest happening here
00:36:17No, sometimes you have to take things into your own hands
00:36:21You don't mean that, do you?
00:36:26Mattel?
00:36:27You're scaring me
00:36:31Apparently my parents were out at an afternoon due with my grandfather
00:36:38And when my mother came back
00:36:40She found Francis dead on the floor
00:36:42He'd fallen out of his cot
00:36:44They'd left him on his own?
00:36:45No, they had a babysitter
00:36:46Aggie Marlowe
00:36:48But she vanished into thin air
00:36:50Sylvia said it broke my parents in half
00:36:52Until one of them had the desperately sad idea
00:36:55Of making another Francis
00:36:57Hence my name
00:37:00So they went ahead
00:37:03And sadly for them
00:37:05I emerged
00:37:07And that is when they realised that they couldn't get Francis back
00:37:10But worse
00:37:12Because they were saddled with someone every day
00:37:15Who reminds them that I'm not their precious son
00:37:19I'm sorry
00:37:24I'm sorry
00:37:24He's good
00:37:28I'm sorry
00:37:29So
00:37:29I'm sorry
00:37:30I'm sorry
00:37:31I'm sorry
00:37:32But that was it
00:37:33What?
00:37:34I mean
00:37:34I mean
00:37:35I José
00:37:36I mean
00:37:37I'm sorry
00:37:38I'm sorry
00:37:38I mean
00:37:38I mean
00:37:39I mean
00:37:40I mean
00:37:40I mean
00:38:23There, best I could do, sir.
00:38:27Is it for Mrs. B?
00:38:28Thank you, Winter.
00:38:30Yes, Sarah's struggling a bit with the arbor.
00:38:32She even managed to injure her thumb.
00:38:36Well, I'm sure she'd be glad of this.
00:38:38So, could Frankie recognise the earring?
00:38:41In a word, no.
00:38:44Oh, well, that puts a cat among the pigeons.
00:38:47Brad must have been seeing someone else.
00:38:50Dears, Winter.
00:38:52Okay.
00:38:54Yeah, thanks.
00:38:56Sir, we've had an anonymous call for a withheld number.
00:39:00There's a woman saying that she's very worried about an Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
00:39:05We don't know an Aggie Marlowe, do we?
00:39:08I think we do, Winter.
00:39:10The Aggie is short for Agnes, which can also be shortened to Nessie.
00:39:15Perhaps you should go and have a chat with her.
00:39:18Hmm.
00:39:18Hmm.
00:39:19Who the hell are you?
00:39:48What are you doing in here?
00:39:50You don't remember.
00:39:54You couldn't keep your hands off me the last time we met.
00:39:58Aggie!
00:40:01This is Frances' room. How dare you!
00:40:05I was looking all over for you, Myrtle.
00:40:07And then I saw Frances' name on the door.
00:40:10And I couldn't help myself.
00:40:12If Myrtle were here, God knows what she would do to you.
00:40:15She's who I came here to see.
00:40:18I'm going to tell her what really happened that day.
00:40:22Noah is dead set on staying here.
00:40:23And the only way I get to stay here with him
00:40:25is if Myrtle and everyone else knows
00:40:27you are the reason why Frances died.
00:40:30As if anyone's going to believe you.
00:40:32And do you know what the best thing is?
00:40:34You brought Noah back here.
00:40:36Which means you brought me back here, too.
00:40:39Everything comes home to roost eventually.
00:40:41That's enough! I'm not having this!
00:40:42Oh!
00:40:43Ach!
00:40:57Hey!
00:40:58Oh, my God.
00:41:28You've joined a library.
00:41:36Oh, Winter borrowed it.
00:41:38He said he thought you might need it.
00:41:41That's so nice of him.
00:41:42I thought we could look through it together.
00:41:45Why would we need to do that?
00:41:47When you've got the blood of a master carpenter running through you.
00:41:50You don't need this.
00:41:51I don't want it to come so naturally to you.
00:41:55So I'll have to get any splinters.
00:41:58Winter.
00:42:06Impeccable timing.
00:42:08You found Nessie.
00:42:09What did she say?
00:42:14I'll be right there.
00:42:15A little bird tells me, not a cuckoo this time, you were looking for Agnes Marlowe.
00:42:31The good news is you found her.
00:42:33But the bad news is someone else found her first.
00:42:36Talk us through it, Fleur.
00:42:37Judging from the angle of the attack, I'd say she was approached from behind, and the billhook did the rest.
00:42:45The what?
00:42:46Billhook, Winter.
00:42:48It's a highly versatile cutting tool.
00:42:49My grandfather had one.
00:42:51Same sort of tool you might find in Noah's bark.
00:42:53You look ten percent more handsome when you say something intelligent.
00:42:57I'll have to set you brain teasers up the percentage.
00:43:01Time of death, Fleur?
00:43:02Well, I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:43:06And the killer just left the weapon lying around?
00:43:07It was stuffed behind that fallen log over there.
00:43:12I'd start with Noah.
00:43:13Before you loaf off, she was carrying this.
00:43:19But I wouldn't get too excited.
00:43:21I don't think he's the killer.
00:43:27What the hell?
00:43:29They're not letting the public in.
00:43:31Well, what did you expect?
00:43:33Agnes Marlowe was murdered last night.
00:43:35Yes, that person was a blight on our family.
00:43:38Yes, and of course, we know who brought her here, don't we?
00:43:41Now, Noah couldn't have possibly known who she was.
00:43:43How do we know that?
00:43:45I don't trust a thing about him.
00:43:47Ever since he arrived, terrible things have happened.
00:43:49Is it really that terrible that Aggy's dead?
00:43:50You know full well what I mean.
00:43:53I want him gone, Alan.
00:44:00Leslie and I were together for years.
00:44:04I saw her at a folk festival.
00:44:07She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever set eyes on.
00:44:13We started chatting and realized we'd both lived in godly buzz at once.
00:44:19From that point on, we never left each other's side.
00:44:23Ended up creating all this.
00:44:26Did you know that Nessie had changed her name from Aggie?
00:44:30Aggie?
00:44:31No.
00:44:33She was always Nessie to me.
00:44:34Well, she never mentioned that she used to babysit for the Bruises.
00:44:39She never said a word.
00:44:42How did she react after Brad found you?
00:44:47To be honest, she didn't want me to come here.
00:44:51When we pitched up, she got pretty nervy.
00:44:55Even had a nightmare the first night we stayed here.
00:44:57Had to get up and go for a wonder.
00:45:00Nessie said she never went up to the house,
00:45:02but did she encounter any of the Bruises other than Frankie?
00:45:06Not that I know of.
00:45:08Can you tell us where you were yesterday evening, Mr. Connaboy?
00:45:16Don't even go there.
00:45:19Nessie was the love of my life.
00:45:21Mr. Connaboy.
00:45:30I was at the pub with Angel.
00:45:33We just finished setting up and deserved a pint or two.
00:45:36Did you say Angel?
00:45:39The Axeman.
00:45:40He looks ferocious, but underneath he's a kitten.
00:45:42We believe that a tool from your troop was used in the attack on Nessie.
00:45:48A, um, a billhook.
00:45:52Is there one missing?
00:45:54I'd have to ask you around.
00:45:57Anyone could come in and take anything.
00:46:00It's not like we'd lock anything away.
00:46:02Saj, what are you doing?
00:46:30Waiting for you to join me.
00:46:33Here.
00:46:37I don't understand.
00:46:39I want to make a toast to Brad.
00:46:41He lived there for a year, and I'm going to miss him.
00:46:43Saj, you may as well know.
00:46:46Police are saying he was a con man.
00:46:48No way.
00:46:49A con man?
00:46:50Did you know?
00:46:51Or ever get a sense of it?
00:46:54Like you said, he was here a whole year.
00:46:55Me?
00:46:56Nah.
00:46:57Poor Frankie.
00:46:58Frankie.
00:47:00Are you sure you didn't know?
00:47:02Are you sure you didn't?
00:47:03What does that mean?
00:47:04I don't know.
00:47:06I always thought you had a bit of a thing for him.
00:47:08A thing?
00:47:09What thing?
00:47:10Why would you say that?
00:47:11Well, you're always so keen on him, always bigging him up.
00:47:14Well, says he's number one fan.
00:47:15Oh, that wasn't me.
00:47:17No way.
00:47:18You've fawned all over him.
00:47:19In fact, you changed personality whenever he was around.
00:47:22Aye, well, maybe it's a good thing he's not around anymore, eh?
00:47:25Oh, look at this.
00:47:30This is crazy.
00:47:33None of this matters now.
00:47:34He's gone.
00:47:37I'm sorry.
00:47:39I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:47:42Same.
00:47:44Normal service has resumed.
00:47:45Let's make a different toast.
00:47:51Hmm?
00:47:52Hmm?
00:47:55Out with the bad and all that.
00:47:57Ah.
00:47:58Out with the brad, more like.
00:48:00Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:48:04What was Nessie doing out here on her own?
00:48:06Maybe she was meeting someone.
00:48:08What, with a teddy bear?
00:48:09Hmm.
00:48:10I'll get tech to check out her phone calls and texts.
00:48:14Also, have them chase up the anonymous tip about Aggie Marlow being back in the village.
00:48:21She was killed almost immediately afterwards, so whoever called us was really worried.
00:48:26You think one of the Bruce's found out she was back?
00:48:28I'll go and see.
00:48:29I'll go and see.
00:48:33This is the last place I saw Francis alive.
00:48:36I gave him a cuddle before Alan and I took Sir Percival to a party.
00:48:42I'll never forgive myself for leaving him.
00:48:46And when you returned home?
00:48:48Uh, I stayed longer than planned.
00:48:50It was Kim in his fault.
00:48:51She can chat for England.
00:48:53Alan had wandered off ages before.
00:48:56When I got back, there was no sign of Aggie anywhere.
00:49:01And then I found Francis.
00:49:03Lying right there.
00:49:05Not moving.
00:49:11Lady Myrtle, did you know that, um, Aggie Marlow was living on your grounds with Noah?
00:49:18Of course I didn't.
00:49:19You never met or saw her?
00:49:21I just said.
00:49:22I didn't know she was back.
00:49:23And trust me, if I had, Aggie would have been dead a lot sooner.
00:49:27I want that woman's body off our land.
00:49:32You know what she did to Myrtle and I?
00:49:35Where were you last night?
00:49:37Are you listening to me, Barnaby?
00:49:40It's Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.
00:49:43I was in my bed getting my beauty sleep in preparation for the grand opening,
00:49:47which actually won't be remotely grand now, thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:49:51Were you aware that she was part of Noah's bar?
00:49:54What on earth are you talking about?
00:49:56It turns out she was Noah's partner, had been for years.
00:49:58My God, you couldn't make it up.
00:50:00Brad didn't happen to find that out when he was searching for Noah.
00:50:03Would I have invited him here if you had?
00:50:05If you wanted revenge for Francis, then yes, that's exactly what you would have done.
00:50:10Look, I invited Noah here simply to raise some cash.
00:50:14My father didn't exactly leave a pot of gold in his will,
00:50:17and these stately homes cost a fortune to maintain.
00:50:20On the outside, it looks like we've won the lottery.
00:50:22On the inside, we can barely afford a ticket.
00:50:24Well, there's still the house and grounds, though.
00:50:26And surely you knew that finding Noah could result in you having to hand over half of everything you'd inherited.
00:50:32You've met him?
00:50:33He's a hippie.
00:50:34They don't belong in houses like this.
00:50:36Anyway, he'll drift away soon enough.
00:50:38Did Brad know you were struggling financially?
00:50:42I admit, I was a little too keen to get Noah here,
00:50:45and someone like Brad might have noted that.
00:50:48Someone like Brad?
00:50:50He was a parasite.
00:50:51I didn't realize at first, but he was a tapeworm eating his way into our family.
00:51:01Sir?
00:51:03I called Saj Solanke, and he said that he remembers seeing Noah and the Axeman in the pub.
00:51:09It seems the Bruce's both had a strong motive for killing Nessie,
00:51:14and Sir Alan had an inkling that Brad wasn't the person he claimed to be.
00:51:19Talking of Brad, we know that he was desperate for money to keep up his lies and lifestyle,
00:51:25so all it would take is for his killer to know that as well.
00:51:28What about the person that the diamond earring belongs to?
00:51:33It could be some kind of love rat thing.
00:51:35Elegantly put, Winter?
00:51:36Or Frankie found out that Brad was cheating on her and killed him in a fit of jealousy.
00:51:39I'm sure that's possible in your love rat world.
00:51:41She was also the only member of the Bruce family that we know for certain met Nessie.
00:51:45Ah, and you were doing so well, Winter.
00:51:48But Frankie hadn't been born when Nessie was babysitting for the Bruce's.
00:51:52It's doubtful she'd know her on side.
00:51:55Here's a question for you.
00:51:56How does a penniless man rent a room in a pub for an entire year?
00:52:14Kimmy won't report you for speeding.
00:52:17There are mitigating circumstances just like you told her.
00:52:20You know what she's like.
00:52:21She takes her misery out on anyone she can find.
00:52:23I can't have points on my license.
00:52:26I could lose my job.
00:52:27Well, come work here then.
00:52:29You'd probably earn more.
00:52:31If this world of woodenness takes off, this place will be packed.
00:52:34It's not the money.
00:52:36I happen to love that job.
00:52:38Mr. Solanke, a word if you don't mind.
00:52:43I thought you were all done here.
00:52:45How did Brad pay for his room and board?
00:52:48Like anyone else?
00:52:48He was penniless, Mr. Solanke.
00:52:51We can just go through your books.
00:52:53Right, well, uh, thing is, uh, hindsight's a great thing, right?
00:52:58But, um, I kind of let Brad run up a tab.
00:53:02For an entire year?
00:53:04Oh, he was a nice guy.
00:53:05I totally trusted him.
00:53:07Well, tell them, Sylvia.
00:53:08You were always urging Frankie to marry him, man.
00:53:11You'll need on that.
00:53:12Well, we have you.
00:53:13We found this in Brad's room.
00:53:17Have you seen that before?
00:53:19No.
00:53:20Sorry.
00:53:21Did Brad ever have anyone other than Frankie back to his room?
00:53:23Not that I ever saw.
00:53:25Fleur?
00:53:28Believe it or not, we're at the pub right now.
00:53:29We're going to need access to Brad's room again.
00:53:39It'll be fine.
00:53:40Don't worry.
00:53:40Oh, Noah.
00:53:58I'm so sorry.
00:53:59I just heard about Aggie.
00:54:02Aggie?
00:54:03I meant Nessie.
00:54:05You must be devastated.
00:54:08That answers everything.
00:54:11She called herself Nessie, yet you just called her Aggie.
00:54:16I know you're big pals with Myrtle, my charming sister-in-law.
00:54:21Did you do the family a favor and tell them who Nessie really was?
00:54:25I think you should leave.
00:54:27I think I should go to the police, don't you?
00:54:31What is it called?
00:54:33Accessory to murder?
00:54:35Go on, then.
00:54:36I've done nothing wrong.
00:54:38I'll tell them you clearly recognized her,
00:54:40and they'll realize you're the only one who knew who she was.
00:54:46Why are you here?
00:54:48What do you want from me?
00:54:50That's better.
00:54:52I know I got permission to put on my festival,
00:54:54but what if I wanted to set up home there permanently with all my people?
00:55:00That's something else entirely.
00:55:02You're the head of the council.
00:55:04I'm sure you could make it happen.
00:55:05They already hate Sir Alan.
00:55:07I doubt they'd be too fond of you for riding to his rescue.
00:55:09We're talking about my home.
00:55:11A home I've been denied for far too long,
00:55:14so make it happen.
00:55:17What if I can't?
00:55:18This is my birthright,
00:55:21and I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of that.
00:55:37What are you doing?
00:55:38What's that for?
00:55:43Care to explain, Mr. Slunkey?
00:55:46No idea.
00:55:48I was already there when I started running the place.
00:55:51Shall I keep going?
00:55:52Where is this leading flow?
00:55:54I worked on a similar case once.
00:55:55There were mirrors all over the walls in that place as well.
00:55:58Clearly, the idea took off.
00:55:59When I first encountered this sort of thing,
00:56:02my boss told me to touch the mirrors with my fingernail,
00:56:05and my fingernail touched its reflection.
00:56:08What else would it touch?
00:56:10Index finger, please, Winter.
00:56:11I promise not to buy it.
00:56:17If it were a normal mirror,
00:56:19your fingernail and its reflection would never meet.
00:56:22There'll always be a gap, like so.
00:56:25But with a two-way mirror,
00:56:27finger touches finger.
00:56:31And they're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Slunkey?
00:56:41Look, a lot of people book into hotels and not just to sleep.
00:56:56They meet up with lovers.
00:56:57Some of them do secret deals.
00:56:59I've heard them on the phone,
00:57:01lying about their whereabouts.
00:57:02The list goes on.
00:57:04I mean, half the people that come in here
00:57:05are up to no good.
00:57:06Sir, you thought you'd make some money out of it.
00:57:08When did Brad find out you were doing this?
00:57:13First night he stayed.
00:57:14He accidentally knocked over the mirror onto the floor
00:57:16and he saw the camera behind it.
00:57:18But he didn't report you?
00:57:20He told me to lose the cameras in his room
00:57:22but keep the rest in the other rooms.
00:57:24He wanted in on it.
00:57:26In fact, he took over.
00:57:27Made me blackmail everyone that I could.
00:57:29And for the last year,
00:57:31he's lived here rent-free in exchange for his silence?
00:57:34He's bled me dry in every way you can imagine.
00:57:37Including forcing you to buy Frankie's engagement ring.
00:57:41Well, how do you know that?
00:57:43We didn't until now.
00:57:45We'll need to look into Mr. Solanki's finances.
00:57:49Am I going to prison for this?
00:57:51At the moment, I'm more interested
00:57:53in who Brad was seeing behind Frankie's back.
00:57:56Well, he wasn't seeing anyone.
00:57:58You're in enough trouble as it is, Mr. Solanki.
00:57:59I couldn't see anything before
00:58:03because then you'd come back and ask for proof
00:58:05and then you'd find out what you've been doing.
00:58:09She used to come in the back way.
00:58:11Obviously didn't know I had a hidden camera outside.
00:58:14But it was...
00:58:15Sylvia Bruce.
00:58:16Sylvia?
00:58:17No.
00:58:18It was her mum.
00:58:19Myrtle.
00:58:20Look at these idiots, sir.
00:58:44She can't give me a ticket.
00:58:47This is official police business.
00:58:49So is this.
00:58:50Just so you know,
00:58:51you can pass on my information
00:58:52but it'll be up to the police
00:58:53if they decide to prosecute or not.
00:58:54And, well,
00:58:55I am the police.
00:58:58Well,
00:58:58we'll find out on Monday
00:59:00when I send in my data
00:59:01whether that helps or not.
00:59:07When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
00:59:09It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
00:59:13And don't think you can get away with this at night either.
00:59:16I'm on guard 24-7.
00:59:17Sorry, Kimmy.
00:59:19I'll go halves on the fine hike.
00:59:24Someone needs to take that speed gun off her.
00:59:26Drive on, Winter.
00:59:28Slowly.
00:59:28Would you like to know
00:59:40where we found this?
00:59:45You should know that Brad never loved Frankie.
00:59:49I mean, how could he?
00:59:50She's quite unlovable.
00:59:51Alan and I tried for years.
00:59:53When did you and Brad start seeing each other?
00:59:57Months ago.
00:59:59I rather felt for him,
01:00:00all that pretending he had to do.
01:00:02So the affair was still going on
01:00:03even at the engagement party.
01:00:05Did Sir Alan know?
01:00:06Doesn't matter if he did or he didn't.
01:00:08He disappeared the night Francis died.
01:00:11There's more life in his portrait.
01:00:13When did you last see Brad?
01:00:16He was lying dead in our hallway.
01:00:18Lady Myrtle?
01:00:19At the engagement party.
01:00:21You were never worried that Saj would see you at the pub and tell Frankie?
01:00:24I didn't go there often.
01:00:26And Brad seemed to have some hold over Saj.
01:00:29He said he wouldn't say a word if he knew what was good for him.
01:00:32Sadly for you, he can say whatever he wants now.
01:00:35What are you talking about?
01:00:36Saj has CCTV footage of you two arguing outside his pub
01:00:40the day before Brad died.
01:00:42What was the argument about?
01:00:44He'd found out that Alan and I aren't exactly wealthy.
01:00:47He was furious.
01:00:48He said I'd been leading him on.
01:00:50Did he break up with you?
01:00:51He threatened to.
01:00:52How did you feel about that?
01:00:54How do you think?
01:00:55Did you get the dibbler from Kim and his shop?
01:00:58All in to see her and slip one into your pocket?
01:01:00I wouldn't know a dibbler from a punch on the nose.
01:01:03And then you rigged the clock?
01:01:04Oh, this is ridiculous.
01:01:05Murder very often is.
01:01:07Lady Myrtle.
01:01:11You're not going to bring Lady Myrtle in, sir?
01:01:13Sir, Alan has already given her an alibi for the night Brad was killed.
01:01:16We need something concrete.
01:01:19Yes, winter.
01:01:21Oh, okay, that was quick.
01:01:23Thanks.
01:01:24Sir, Tech have managed to trace the anonymous call regarding Aggie Marlow.
01:01:29It was from Kim and E. Bullitt.
01:01:31Oh, of course it was.
01:01:33We already know she likes to share her findings with the police.
01:01:37Hop over to her shop and find out if she told anyone else.
01:01:40She was obviously worried about what might happen.
01:01:42Hello?
01:01:43Hello?
01:01:43Hello?
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:48You could have picked somewhere more accessible.
01:01:50I never liked that hill.
01:01:54I never liked that hill.
01:02:00Hello?
01:02:03I never liked that hill.
01:02:06Hello?
01:02:11You could have picked somewhere more accessible.
01:02:14I never liked that hill.
01:02:36There you are.
01:02:42Let me just catch my breath.
01:03:06How's your thumb?
01:03:30Throbbing.
01:03:32Do you really think you can put that arbor together?
01:03:38Only I don't want it suddenly collapsing on Betty or her friends or on me, for that matter.
01:03:43That arbor will still be standing a hundred years from now.
01:03:47A monument to the inherited skills of a master craftsman.
01:03:52Right.
01:04:02What's that around her mouth?
01:04:04Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue. Super strong.
01:04:14I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:04:28It looks like someone stuck her to the chair and then, if I'm right, they force-fed her with whatever was left in the glue gun.
01:04:35That's also covered in glue.
01:04:37Whoever it was tried to make it cosy and inviting.
01:04:41If only.
01:04:43Any idea where the chairs came from?
01:04:46Judging from the finish, I'd say a craftsman made that.
01:04:49Would you like a ticket?
01:05:06I'm afraid Kiminy Bullock was killed sometime last night.
01:05:27My God.
01:05:29I was wondering what had happened.
01:05:32Were you at the house?
01:05:34No.
01:05:35I stayed here last night.
01:05:37Noah's a bit lost right now, obviously, so I thought I could be there for him.
01:05:42You didn't see or hear anything?
01:05:44No.
01:05:46Sorry.
01:05:47This is awful.
01:05:49I've known Kiminy my whole life.
01:05:54Excuse me.
01:05:57Full-time job here.
01:05:58Love men.
01:06:00I love those women.
01:06:01I've known Kiminy.
01:06:02I've known Kiminy.
01:06:03I've known Kiminy.
01:06:04I've known Kiminy.
01:06:05I've known Kiminy.
01:06:06I've known Kiminy.
01:06:07I've known Kiminy.
01:06:13Wood is so much more than we think it is.
01:06:16It has sheltered us, defended us,
01:06:18given up its body to us.
01:06:21Nessie came up with that.
01:06:26All of this was her idea.
01:06:29Show people how much they can learn and benefit from nature.
01:06:33And turn it into furniture.
01:06:35Namely, a pair of chairs.
01:06:38If you're looking to pin this on me, anyone could have come in here.
01:06:42You really shouldn't try locking things away, Mr. Connoboy.
01:06:45Someone needs to go and tell the crowds we won't be opening any time soon.
01:06:49They'll have to come back next year.
01:06:51You're planning on returning?
01:06:53I'm not actually planning on leaving.
01:06:56I was born here.
01:06:57Nessie was born here.
01:06:59I belong here.
01:07:13Hi, sir. Yeah, I'm in Kimini's shop.
01:07:15Someone's been in here and...
01:07:18Looks like they've smashed up our laptop.
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:25Is there anyone Kimini might have upset recently?
01:07:31If there was, she didn't tell me.
01:07:34We know she left an anonymous tip-off about Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
01:07:40Did she happen to tell you as well?
01:07:42As I've already said, that wouldn't have gone well for Aggie.
01:07:45Is that why Kimini decided to contact us?
01:07:48You met her.
01:07:49She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:07:54Talking of which, did she ever mention the hit-and-run?
01:07:56Only to the point of boredom.
01:07:58More recently, I mean, as in, had she found out who killed her husband?
01:08:01No, she'd have said.
01:08:03In fact, she'd have screamed it from the rooftops.
01:08:08We know that Brad checked into Saj's pub on the same night that Kimini's husband was killed.
01:08:14Before you fall down that rabbit hole, Brad got a puncture up at the house and walked down to the village.
01:08:20He couldn't have run anyone over, let alone Kimini's husband.
01:08:23I don't suppose I could have Francis's teddy.
01:08:30Only Kimini bought that for him.
01:08:32It feels so wrong that Aggie took it.
01:08:37How did you know about the teddy bear?
01:08:40We deliberately withheld that information.
01:08:43Alan told me he must have let it slip, Chief Inspector.
01:08:53Charles, how good of you to call.
01:09:00Now, I may need you to sue the police for loss of earnings.
01:09:05Yes, that's right, the police.
01:09:07I'll send you an email with all the details.
01:09:09Speak soon.
01:09:11Well, that should shrink your annual budget.
01:09:15How did you know about Aggie Marlowe taking Francis's teddy bear?
01:09:19You told your wife, remember?
01:09:21Well, I probably picked it up off of one of you lot.
01:09:25Aggie must have gone up to Francis's room.
01:09:29I think you saw her.
01:09:30You're an absolute balderdash.
01:09:32Why would she go up there?
01:09:33I didn't know she had.
01:09:35It seems a strange place to return to, considering the circumstances.
01:09:39Or was she coming to see you and Lady Myrtle?
01:09:41I very much doubt it.
01:09:43She'd been avoiding being seen, yet she felt confident enough to come to the house,
01:09:49the place where she'd apparently left a child to die.
01:09:52I'm afraid I can't answer for her actions.
01:09:55I happen to think you can.
01:09:58What really happened on the day your son died?
01:10:00I'd really rather not go back there.
01:10:01It's still exceedingly raw, even after all these years.
01:10:04I know that you and your wife went to a party with your father.
01:10:11She said that she came back alone, which implies that either you were still at the party,
01:10:16or you'd already left.
01:10:18I stayed till the bitter end.
01:10:19Then you would have seen both Lady Myrtle and Kimony, because they stayed late as well.
01:10:27You've spent a long time living with this, Sir Alan.
01:10:37She was extremely attractive back then.
01:10:40And I was only a little older than her.
01:10:44In your eyes, perhaps.
01:10:45And I'd been drinking.
01:10:49And you know, sometimes on those odd occasions when you have a romantic thought,
01:10:53and then that thought becomes a possibility,
01:10:55and then before you know where you are, it's a cast-iron certainty.
01:10:58And I was Sir Percival's son.
01:11:00How could she not be impressed?
01:11:02But Aggie wasn't impressed, was she?
01:11:04Well, she tried to be polite, and I went along with it at first,
01:11:08but then I said we hadn't got much time,
01:11:09and perhaps we should move things forward.
01:11:11Well, she was appalled.
01:11:13I said she wanted to go and check on Francis.
01:11:17He was crying, and I stopped her.
01:11:21I didn't let her see him.
01:11:23For how long?
01:11:25Well, I thought I heard a thump or a thud or something,
01:11:30but I just ignored it because I had other things on my mind.
01:11:34And Aggie heard it, too, and told me to open the door.
01:11:38She said it over and over again, and when I refused,
01:11:40she slapped me, and then she dodged by me,
01:11:42and her first thought was to go and check on Francis.
01:11:46And that's when I heard her scream.
01:11:49And by the time you got there?
01:11:52Well, to my eternal shame, I blamed her.
01:11:56I said it was all her fault, and that I would see her locked up for life.
01:12:02So she ran, knowing that no one would believe her word against yours,
01:12:07the son of Sir Percival Bruce.
01:12:11She came to see me a few nights ago.
01:12:14She told me she was going to tell Myrtle the truth.
01:12:16Well, everybody, in fact.
01:12:18Why now, after all this time?
01:12:20Well, Noah wants to set up permanent residence on the grounds,
01:12:23but I didn't kill her, I swear.
01:12:25I didn't even try to get that damn teddy back.
01:12:28I just stood there, frozen,
01:12:32in this pathetic excuse that I call my life.
01:12:44Winter.
01:12:45Winter.
01:12:53Sir, I looked into Saj's financials, like you said,
01:12:58and the odd thing was that Sylvia paid for Brad's room
01:13:01the night he turned up in Godly Buzzard.
01:13:03But she said that she didn't meet him that day.
01:13:05I think we'd better talk to her.
01:13:07Also, Fleur's tech team found a smudge of blue ink on Kimony's laptop.
01:13:11It was only tiny, but she's going to run it.
01:13:13Tell her there's no me.
01:13:14Yeah, I already have, sir.
01:13:16Because it's probably from the stamp that Sylvia uses in her library.
01:13:19You won't jump ahead of me, Winter.
01:13:20There is a first time for everything, sir.
01:13:22You should get a bonus for all the things you've taught me.
01:13:27Didn't tech have any luck with Kimony's laptop?
01:13:29They managed to retrieve most of the data,
01:13:31but it was just the speeding reports that she'd been filing.
01:13:33And I see.
01:13:38I should go and talk to her before she heads off.
01:13:47Sylvia, I wanted to ask,
01:13:48why did you pay for Brad's room
01:13:50the night that the flower festival was rained off?
01:13:53You said that we hadn't met him that day.
01:13:57Sylvia?
01:13:59Sylvia?
01:14:05Put your foot down, Winter.
01:14:06You can't get around us, man.
01:14:23See if there's somewhere to pass up her head.
01:14:25Oh, following me!
01:14:28What's she doing?
01:14:28Where's she going?
01:14:29She's on her way to Godly Manor.
01:14:31You can't go and live with that excuse for an uncle.
01:14:36I can do what the hell I like.
01:14:38Noah's going to try and take all of this from us.
01:14:40Not just the grounds he wants.
01:14:42He'll come for his share of the house.
01:14:43And you think I'm on your side?
01:14:45I hope he gets the lot.
01:14:47Frankie.
01:14:49Frankie!
01:14:49She's headed for the gate, sir.
01:14:58She's going to go straight through them, sir.
01:15:03Frankie!
01:15:03Sylvia!
01:15:17What are you doing?
01:15:18They know.
01:15:19Know what?
01:15:20What I did.
01:15:20Pull yourself together, Sylvia.
01:15:22I killed him, Mother.
01:15:24I killed him.
01:15:25I killed him.
01:15:31What the hell is going on?
01:15:32I'm shaking like a leaf.
01:15:37Sylvia, I don't understand.
01:15:39Ask them.
01:15:41They know.
01:15:42Stop saying that.
01:15:43Will somebody talk to me?
01:15:44Tell them, then.
01:15:45Tell them what I did.
01:15:47I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia.
01:15:52I didn't see him.
01:15:54The road was empty one minute the next.
01:15:56He was just standing there right in front of me.
01:15:59Who is she talking about?
01:16:01Jiminy Bullitt's husband, Lauren.
01:16:03What?
01:16:04Sylvia?
01:16:04Right.
01:16:05Don't say another word.
01:16:06Alan, call your solicitor.
01:16:08Tell us what happened, Sylvia.
01:16:09Leave my daughter alone.
01:16:11Alan, call Charles now.
01:16:13Josh!
01:16:13I didn't think anyone had seen me, so I drove off, not knowing what to do.
01:16:20I was in such a state, though.
01:16:22I had to pull over, thought I was going to be sick.
01:16:24A few minutes later, there was a tap on the side of the library.
01:16:28Brad had seen what you'd done.
01:16:30He made me pay for his room at Sash's pub.
01:16:32He was really after something else.
01:16:37I'm so sorry.
01:16:39I'm so sorry.
01:16:42He wanted to be in the manor.
01:16:44He wanted a portrait of his own.
01:16:45He wanted it all.
01:16:47So he told me I had to make sure you married him.
01:16:51Doesn't anyone want me for who I am?
01:16:54I know.
01:16:55I know, and I hated him so much for it.
01:16:57I wanted to rescue you, Frankie.
01:16:58I wanted so many things.
01:17:00Winter?
01:17:01As I learned at great cost last year, there are certain perennials that shouldn't be planted next to each other.
01:17:06Kim and I would know that better than anyone.
01:17:09I think they found Brad's phone.
01:17:11And on it, no doubt, we'll find out why it had to be buried.
01:17:14Mm-hmm.
01:17:15Am I right, Frankie?
01:17:20I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:17:22I know it was you who smashed up Kim and his laptop.
01:17:25Me?
01:17:25I had no idea that even happened.
01:17:27I saw a list of number plates on a document that Kim and he was putting together.
01:17:32Your friend Cordelia's number plate was on it, along with the date and time.
01:17:36Then talk to Cordelia, not me.
01:17:38Ironically, that was actually the very thing you were trying to prevent.
01:17:42When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:17:45It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:17:47And don't think you can get away with this at night, either.
01:17:50I'm on guard, 24-7.
01:17:52You took Cordelia's car after everyone had passed out after your celebrations.
01:17:57You drove it up here, not thinking for a minute that Kim and he would still be out monitoring the roads.
01:18:03She was going to post her findings on Monday,
01:18:05and the moment Cordelia received her speeding notice, she would have questioned it.
01:18:10You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:18:15Is this true?
01:18:16Not a word of it.
01:18:17And who stays up half the night looking for speeders?
01:18:20Kim and he did.
01:18:21She was heartbroken after Lawrence.
01:18:23She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:18:24We know that the cuckoo clock had been moved high enough to kill Brad.
01:18:30And who would have known Brad's height better than you?
01:18:32Try my mother.
01:18:34She seemed to have spent a lot of time with him.
01:18:36Yes, mother, I knew that earring was yours.
01:18:40Would you like to tell us what's on the phone, Frankie?
01:18:43It won't take us long to access it.
01:18:45Well, when you put it like that.
01:18:58Frankie.
01:19:05It was the look on his face that did it.
01:19:08It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:19:10I knew what he was thinking.
01:19:14So I sent him a message.
01:19:17Why don't we steal the clock and run away together?
01:19:20He agreed.
01:19:21Said we should do it after things had died down.
01:19:24But you came up here and rigged the clock.
01:19:26Because I knew he was lying.
01:19:28He wanted it all for himself.
01:19:29I hoped I was wrong.
01:19:33But sometimes you just know.
01:19:35It was horrible to watch.
01:19:56How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:19:58I didn't matter what time it was.
01:20:02Frankie knew Brad would turn the hour hands to get the cuckoo to come out regardless.
01:20:08Tell me about Nessie.
01:20:10Presumably you saw her up at the house.
01:20:13Kimmy, I just got your message.
01:20:16Oh my God.
01:20:19Are you sure it's her?
01:20:21I can't.
01:20:23I just can't.
01:20:24Not while there's breath in my body.
01:20:25I hadn't a clue who my mother was talking about.
01:20:28Until you realised there was only one person your mother could hate that much.
01:20:32Aggie Marlowe.
01:20:34And there she was.
01:20:36Carrying Francis' teddy.
01:20:38So you took revenge for your brother.
01:20:41How could I not?
01:20:42She's responsible for this nightmare I call my life.
01:20:47Only she wasn't.
01:20:49What?
01:20:49I suggest you speak to Sir Alan about that.
01:20:54I'm curious about the blue ink on Kimmy's laptop.
01:20:57Presumably you wanted to throw us off the trail.
01:21:02Sorry, sis.
01:21:04You all but forced me into loving Brad.
01:21:06It was his doing, not mine.
01:21:08But I didn't know that, did I?
01:21:10I believed every word he said.
01:21:12I'm your sister.
01:21:13I was put in a horrible position.
01:21:14Well, you want to know about horrible positions?
01:21:17Try killing three people.
01:21:19Most people would have just called off the engagement.
01:21:21Blame them.
01:21:23They made me that way.
01:21:24I grew up being rejected for not being what they desperately wanted.
01:21:28And there I was again.
01:21:29Not being what Brad wanted.
01:21:31What's a girl to do?
01:21:38Though I rather hoped I was always one step ahead of you.
01:21:42If it's any consolation, you were.
01:21:47But you always saw the wood despite the trees.
01:21:53Oh, how ironic.
01:21:57I don't understand you, Frankie.
01:21:59How could you be saying all these things?
01:22:01As if you didn't have a care in the world.
01:22:03Because I learnt from the worst.
01:22:05If only you and father had wanted me.
01:22:08It's just a simple, little thing.
01:22:10Like loving a child.
01:22:12But it was beyond both of you.
01:22:20I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:22:29And I have to say, I am deeply impressed.
01:22:42Did you know pergolas and arbors date back to early Egyptian times?
01:23:00Really that far?
01:23:01In some societies, there were actually status symbols.
01:23:03Well, the Barnabys are going up in the world.
01:23:08I'd have had that up an hour ago.
01:23:10You'd be moaning about having a strained back by now.
01:23:13I'm just saying, it would have taken me half the time.
01:23:15Don't listen to them, Winter.
01:23:17You're doing a fine job.
01:23:22A very fine job, indeed.
01:23:23You're really great.
01:23:45You
01:23:46You
01:23:46You
