00:00:01I'll show him.
00:00:03Oh, an absolute disgrace.
00:00:06That's what it is.
00:00:12See how he likes it when no one turns up?
00:00:16This will teach him.
00:00:23Hi.
00:00:24They've been at it all morning. It's killing my business.
00:00:27So I've seen they're all over the village.
00:00:30Blue or grey?
00:00:38I feel good.
00:00:40Hmm.
00:00:42Blue it is, then.
00:00:56Brad!
00:00:57Good, good.
00:00:58Thanks for coming.
00:01:00Did Brad rob a jewellers?
00:01:02I'd have stolen the crown jewels to get Frankie to say yes.
00:01:06Mmm.
00:01:08Mmm.
00:01:09What's with your peps?
00:01:10They can't even stretch to real champagne.
00:01:12Well, this is a step up for them.
00:01:14I was expecting tap water.
00:01:16I don't know what you're smiling about.
00:01:18The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:20Fear not, my dear.
00:01:21Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:22What's that mean?
00:01:24Oh, what have you done now?
00:01:26There's nothing else.
00:01:28No, unfortunately not.
00:01:29Oh, unfortunately not.
00:01:30Oh, they're beautiful.
00:01:32Thank you, Kimony.
00:01:34I was hoping you might hire me to do the flowers on your big day.
00:01:38Oh, I...
00:01:39Yeah, we're not really making any clear-cut decisions yet.
00:01:40It's good to see you.
00:01:41Are you all right?
00:01:42I think I'm getting a cold.
00:01:43It might be all the moon for Frankie.
00:01:44This is me being over the moon for Frankie.
00:01:45This is me being over the moon for Frankie.
00:01:46Oh, thank you.
00:01:47Oh, thank you.
00:01:48Thank you, Kimony.
00:01:49I was hoping you might hire me to do the flowers on your big day.
00:01:54Oh, I...
00:01:55Yeah, we're not really making any clear-cut decisions yet.
00:01:58No.
00:01:59It's good to see you.
00:02:00Are you all right?
00:02:01I think I'm getting a cold.
00:02:02It might be all the moon for Frankie.
00:02:12It is me being over the moon.
00:02:17Who the hell is that?
00:02:19Yes!
00:02:22It's amazing, isn't it?
00:02:24My mum used to tell me about this place.
00:02:28Why have you stopped?
00:02:30Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:32Yes.
00:02:33You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:34I can't do this on my own.
00:02:36You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:38Not me.
00:02:39Come on, guys!
00:02:42Please give me a hand.
00:02:43My mum!
00:02:44Moses!
00:02:45No, I presume.
00:02:47How shall we handle this?
00:02:49Like Livingston and Stanley?
00:02:52It's...
00:02:53It's a bigger moment than that.
00:02:55No, I presume how shall we handle this like Livingston and Stanley it's it's a bigger
00:03:06moment than that girls I want you to meet your uncle we don't have an uncle what on earth is

00:05:15oh
00:05:18oh
00:05:22oh
00:05:24oh
00:05:26oh
00:05:30oh
00:06:31I thought I was going to build this.
00:06:39Yeah, you did think that.
00:06:41And then I decided it needs doing properly.
00:06:44As you are well aware, my grandfather was a master carpenter.
00:06:48As a carpenter, you make a brilliant detective.
00:06:51Oh, Winter.
00:06:56What's that?
00:06:57Oh, what are you building?
00:06:59Well, if I do it, it's going to be an arbor.
00:07:01And if John does it...
00:07:02Presumably there's a reason you're here this early.
00:07:25Oh, I thought it'd be this place.
00:07:28I almost came here last year.
00:07:29They have an annual flower festival.
00:07:32I don't know.
00:07:32You're into horticulture, Winter.
00:07:34I'm not, but this girl I was seeing was...
00:07:36When you say you almost came here...
00:07:38Well, when she took one look at my house plants,
00:07:41she decided that I wasn't the one for her.
00:07:43Apparently I put the wrong perennials next to each other in the same pot.
00:07:46Small margins, Winter.
00:07:47Well, how am I supposed to know that some plants don't get on?
00:07:53Looks like more police are arriving.
00:07:59Do you think I should go up there?
00:08:02Then do what?
00:08:03I don't actually know.
00:08:05I mean, how do brothers brother?
00:08:14There.
00:08:17Where'd you get to last night?
00:08:26I woke up when you weren't there.
00:08:28I, uh, I had a nightmare.
00:08:29I took a walk to calm down.
00:08:34Look.
00:08:35If your brother needs you,
00:08:37he will tell you.
00:08:45Hello?
00:08:47Here's a new one for you.
00:08:50The poor fellow
00:08:51was pecked to death.
00:08:54Pecked?
00:08:54They didn't realise it was the murder weapon
00:08:57till it struck the hour
00:08:58and stabbed one of my sockers.
00:09:01He's lucky he's tall.
00:09:03Well, taller than the victim.
00:09:05Watch this.
00:09:06Um, better
00:09:08stand back first.
00:09:11Further?
00:09:12Well, I've seen everything now.
00:09:24The victim's name
00:09:26was Brad Furbank.
00:09:29Aged 29.
00:09:30Time of death?
00:09:31Judging from his lividity and rigour,
00:09:34I'd say he'd been dead at least five hours.
00:09:36Well, that will put it about three o'clock this morning.
00:09:39Who found him?
00:09:40The lady of the house.
00:09:42Myrtle Bruce.
00:09:43She lives here with her husband, Sir Alan.
00:09:45Where was the clock hanging?
00:09:47It was level with that ghoulish portrait.
00:09:51The cuckoo stabbed Brad
00:09:53and he came tumbling down the stairs.
00:09:54Well, it seems they were right all along.
00:09:59Time is indeed the enemy.
00:10:05I couldn't believe it.
00:10:07Brad was just lying at the foot of the stairs.
00:10:11What time was this?
00:10:12Probably about seven.
00:10:15You hadn't heard anything before that,
00:10:17say around three this morning?
00:10:19I had a bit too much to drink last night.
00:10:22So I was out like a light.
00:10:28Don't look at me.
00:10:29I tend to sleep the sleep of the just.
00:10:32Quite.
00:10:34Tell me about Brad.
00:10:37Presumably he lived here with you.
00:10:38Oh, goodness, no.
00:10:40He's been staying at the Raging Stag.
00:10:42It's a pub in the village.
00:10:44Would either of you know why he came here
00:10:46in the middle of the night?
00:10:46I hadn't a clue what Brad was doing here.
00:10:54Presumably he was coming to see you.
00:10:56But he knew I was out last night with my friends
00:10:59carrying on the celebrations.
00:11:02So it was our engagement party yesterday.
00:11:06It's all right.
00:11:07I'm here.
00:11:08When did you get back to Godly Manor?
00:11:10I didn't.
00:11:11My friends and I crashed at Cordelia's flat.
00:11:14I saw...
00:11:15I can't believe this.
00:11:16I'm sorry.
00:11:17I just have a few more questions.
00:11:21When did you last see Brad?
00:11:23Yesterday evening.
00:11:24Before I left with my friends.
00:11:26That was around nine, I think.
00:11:29And did anything untoward happen before then?
00:11:31Does the arrival of an uncle
00:11:33we never knew we had qualify?
00:11:36The clock was a gift.
00:11:38From a brother-in-law I didn't know I had.
00:11:41It's a long story.
00:11:42I'd still like to hear it.
00:11:44Well, my father, Sir Percival Bruce,
00:11:47sired Noah out of wedlock.
00:11:50Noah?
00:11:50Noah Connoboy.
00:11:52Now, I had no idea he existed
00:11:54until the family solicitor
00:11:55told me at my father's funeral.
00:11:58Was this recently?
00:11:59It was about six weeks ago.
00:12:02So I asked Brad to search for him.
00:12:05He's very good at the Internet.
00:12:06Well, was.
00:12:08So Noah turned up with the clock?
00:12:12Yes, he said that he'd made it
00:12:13especially for the occasion.
00:12:15Shall I save you some time?
00:12:17The only reason Noah's here
00:12:19is to claim his share.
00:12:21Oh, so you think Sir Alan
00:12:22was the intended target?
00:12:24A child of five could tell you that.
00:12:26So, off you trot
00:12:28and go and arrest Noah.
00:12:30He'll be outside
00:12:31contaminating our grounds.
00:12:33What my darling wife means
00:12:34is that Noah's arrived with his troop.
00:12:37They put on oldie-worldie
00:12:39woodworking festivals.
00:12:40Very popular, apparently.
00:12:42Brings people from far and wide.
00:12:43So we don't need
00:12:45some limp flower festival
00:12:47when we can replace it
00:12:48with something much more popular.
00:12:53Did Brad work in the village?
00:12:55He could work anywhere.
00:12:57He was in Bitcoin.
00:12:58He was doing really well.
00:13:00Always on his phone,
00:13:01checking the markets.
00:13:02So you didn't have an argument
00:13:04with someone in godly buzzards, hey?
00:13:06Brad, never.
00:13:07He was really popular.
00:13:08My sister can vouch for that.
00:13:10He was lovely.
00:13:12Never seen Frankie as happy.
00:13:18You know, I nearly came
00:13:20to the flower festival last year.
00:13:22Would have been a waste of time.
00:13:23It was rained off.
00:13:24Worst thunderstorm in decades.
00:13:26Destroyed all the flower beds.
00:13:28It was an absolute disaster.
00:13:30Well, hopefully it'll be different this year.
00:13:32No chance.
00:13:34The village have boycotted it.
00:13:36Our magnanimous father
00:13:37decided to charge double this year,
00:13:39which made a lot of people very angry.
00:13:43We're looking for a Noah Connor boy.
00:14:05That will be me.
00:14:06Oh, I saw you earlier.
00:14:08But you were, um, a bit taller.
00:14:10Oh, yeah.
00:14:12Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:14:13Uh, sorry, I'm Nessie.
00:14:19Nessie Copeland.
00:14:20What's happening up at the house?
00:14:22I'm afraid we have reason to believe
00:14:24that, uh, Brad Furbank was murdered last night.
00:14:28Murdered?
00:14:28Are you serious?
00:14:31That's awful.
00:14:33And what can you tell us about the cuckoo clock?
00:14:37It tells the time.
00:14:39What else is there to say?
00:14:40What, did you build it yourself?
00:14:42I craft everything myself.
00:14:44Sorry, why are you asking about a cuckoo clock?
00:14:47Its spring had been tightened to a murderous degree.
00:14:51A sharp piece of metal
00:14:53had been attached to the cuckoo's beak.
00:14:54The second it chimed, it sprang out, and...
00:14:58I'm sure you can work out the rest.
00:15:01Everyone saw the clock yesterday.
00:15:04There wasn't anything attached to the beak.
00:15:06Um, there was a woman taking photos.
00:15:10That'll prove it.
00:15:11Uh, I think she was called Kimony.
00:15:13Runs the flower shop in the village.
00:15:15This has nothing to do with Noah.
00:15:19Did either of you notice anything, uh,
00:15:21off at the engagement party?
00:15:23I-I wasn't there.
00:15:25I was here with the others setting up.
00:15:27There's a lot to do.
00:15:28Alan wants me to put on a festival.
00:15:30He couldn't get me here quick enough.
00:15:32Did you know your father owned all of this?
00:15:34I was born in the village.
00:15:36It wasn't long before my mother up sticks.
00:15:39But she often told me about this place.
00:15:42Is that your way of saying that you did know?
00:15:47When you put it like that, I guess it is.
00:15:55Well, sir, Noah could have been trying to kill Sir Alan
00:15:58because there's obviously something to gain.
00:15:59I can see it now.
00:16:00He-he sneaks back up to the house,
00:16:02rigs the clock,
00:16:02and then potentially inherits the lot.
00:16:04But how would he know Sir Alan was going to get so close to it
00:16:08and at the exact time?
00:16:10Fleur.
00:16:12It's called a dibbler.
00:16:14Say that again.
00:16:14Gardeners use it to make holes in the ground.
00:16:17Oh, thanks as ever, Fleur.
00:16:19I'm still talking.
00:16:20The so-called emeralds in its eyes are paste
00:16:23and the beak is gold plate.
00:16:26May look a million dollars,
00:16:27but it's worth less than a real cooker.
00:16:29Hmm.
00:16:29Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak
00:16:35is called a dibbler.
00:16:37Erm, what's a dibbler when it's home?
00:16:39If you'd bothered looking after your houseplants, Winter,
00:16:41you would know that a dibbler
00:16:43is a tool that gardeners use.
00:16:45And now, murderers, apparently.
00:16:48Sorry, mate.
00:16:56We don't need the extra kegs.
00:16:58Blame the village for boycotting the flower festival.
00:17:01I'm not going to shift a tenth of what I normally do
00:17:03this time of year.
00:17:04Sorry, pal.
00:17:10Mr Solanke?
00:17:11Were you aware that Brad had gone up to Godly Manor
00:17:23in the early hours of this morning?
00:17:25Did he?
00:17:26I didn't know.
00:17:27When was the last time you saw him?
00:17:29Last night, just before I locked up.
00:17:32Did you notice anything unusual at the engagement party?
00:17:36Not really, no.
00:17:37Well, not unless you count that moment with Kim and A.
00:17:41Kim and A.
00:17:42Kim and A bullet.
00:17:43Brad told her not to do the flowers for the wedding
00:17:46and she seemed quite annoyed,
00:17:49but not murderously so.
00:17:51And did you see the clock being hung on the wall?
00:17:54Everyone saw it.
00:17:55It was a work of art.
00:17:57Wish I had skills like that.
00:17:58I can barely put up a shelf.
00:18:00Should have listened to our mother and done a corset.
00:18:01Thank you, Mr Solanke.
00:18:03My team will obviously need access to Brad's room.
00:18:07Why he wasn't killed here?
00:18:09No, we need to go through Brad's things.
00:18:12We're still to locate his phone, for one thing.
00:18:15I see.
00:18:16Problem?
00:18:17No, no.
00:18:18Not at all.
00:18:19Well, there must have been a sail on at the mirror shop.
00:18:41Well, we've got a charger.
00:18:43But still no sign of a phone.
00:18:46Sounds to me like someone doesn't want it to be found.
00:18:51Dr Perkett?
00:18:52Hey, fever.
00:18:53I know the feeling.
00:18:54There you are.
00:18:54Within five yards of a mustard plant.
00:18:58Diamond?
00:18:59Not real this time.
00:19:01That's probably Frankie's.
00:19:03Brad liked to splash out on her.
00:19:04Please remove yourself, Mr Solanke.
00:19:09I've never seen anything like this.
00:19:11Well, not for real.
00:19:13As my mum wanted me to do a course in forensics.
00:19:22Will you be done soon?
00:19:24I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mr Solanke.
00:19:27Fleur?
00:19:28Fleur?
00:19:28Fleur?
00:19:28Fleur?
00:19:28Fleur?
00:19:28Fleur?
00:19:28Fleur?
00:19:29Fleur?
00:19:30Fleur?
00:19:30Fleur?
00:19:31Fleur?
00:19:31Fleur?
00:19:32Fleur?
00:19:33Fleur?
00:19:33Fleur?
00:19:34Fleur?
00:19:35Fleur?
00:19:36Fleur?
00:19:37Fleur?
00:19:38Fleur?
00:19:39Fleur?
00:19:40Fleur?
00:19:41Fleur?
00:19:42Fleur?
00:19:43Fleur?
00:19:44Fleur?
00:19:45Fleur?
00:19:46Fleur?
00:19:47Fleur?
00:19:48Fleur?
00:19:49Fleur?
00:19:50Fleur?
00:19:51Fleur?
00:19:52Fleur?
00:19:53Fleur?
00:19:54Fleur?
00:19:55Fleur?
00:19:56Fleur?
00:19:57Fleur?
00:19:58Fleur?
00:19:59Fleur?
00:20:00Fleur?
00:20:01Fleur?
00:20:02Fleur?
00:20:03Fleur?
00:20:35What are you doing, Kimini? It's me.
00:20:38Being you doesn't exonerate you, Sylvia.
00:20:40Brad's just been murdered, for goodness sake. Surely you can be a bit lenient. I'm in shock.
00:20:45Then you shouldn't be out driving in the first place.
00:20:48This isn't just a speeding offence. It's a whole lot more than that.
00:20:52And you know it.
00:20:56Is this you for the rest of your life now? Punishing drivers day and night?
00:21:04I'm closed for the day.
00:21:18Kimini bullet, I take it.
00:21:20The boycott of the flower festival can't be helping business.
00:21:32The village are furious for Sir Alan.
00:21:35He tried to turn a quaint tradition into a corporate cash grab.
00:21:39I heard he doubled the entrance fee.
00:21:40Almost tripled it, if you include having to pay for parking.
00:21:43Oh, which reminds me, I need to make a note of Sylvia's speeding offence.
00:21:49I send them in every Monday, first thing.
00:21:53Noah Connoboy said you took some photos that included the cuckoo clock.
00:21:59Uh...
00:22:00Oh.
00:22:01I'll need you to email that to me.
00:22:10Oh.
00:22:12Of course.
00:22:16Usually this time of year there's a queue all the way from the green to get in here.
00:22:20You can't have been happy with Sir Alan.
00:22:22That's an understatement.
00:22:24Yet still you went to the engagement party.
00:22:26Myrtle and I have been friends for decades.
00:22:30I could hardly let her down on Frankie's big day.
00:22:41Have you sold any of these lately?
00:22:44Who needs a dibbler when there's no flower festival?
00:22:47Thanks to Sir Alan, I couldn't give them away right now.
00:22:56I know a very good jeweller if you want to sell that ring.
00:23:08How could you be so thoughtless?
00:23:10There's no need to bite my head off.
00:23:12We're all trying to process what happened.
00:23:15It's not just you, Frankie.
00:23:16It's a big loss for us as well.
00:23:18This is my pain.
00:23:20It's not yours.
00:23:22Don't you dare try and hijack it.
00:23:23Look, why don't we try to concentrate on the positives?
00:23:26We've got this wonderful festival of awards, thanks to Noah,
00:23:30and we're going to have tons of people streaming in,
00:23:32and that's mainly down to Brad.
00:23:33God rest his soul.
00:23:34My word, these people.
00:23:36No one's going to pay to see a freak show.
00:23:39Au contraire, my dear.
00:23:40It'll be the height of popularity.
00:23:42We were in the middle of talking.
00:23:44I'm sorry, dear.
00:23:44I thought you'd said your piece.
00:23:47Why did it have to be Brad that got killed
00:23:51and not one of you?
00:23:53Come on.
00:24:14Hello.
00:24:16Oh, hello again.
00:24:18How can I help?
00:24:20I do flowers for all occasions.
00:24:22A good thing, too.
00:24:24Now we've got a funeral coming up.
00:24:27Oh, God.
00:24:27I didn't think.
00:24:29Don't worry.
00:24:29I'm teasing.
00:24:30I'm not here about flowers.
00:24:32A little birdie told me
00:24:33you're the head of the village council.
00:24:36Well, someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:24:38Perfect.
00:24:39Because I need to know about the grounds at Godly Manor.
00:24:42Only we were due to put on a festival of wood
00:24:45at Badger's Drift a few weeks back,
00:24:47but the village voted against it,
00:24:50even though we were holding our event on private land.
00:24:53Well, there are a few archaic laws floating around.
00:24:57Alan got me here so quickly,
00:24:58I didn't have a chance to check.
00:25:01You're putting on a festival at the manor?
00:25:04He said it was to replace a flower day or something.
00:25:07He thinks it could become a permanent thing
00:25:12if it goes well, which it always does.
00:25:15Noah?
00:25:16Sweetheart.
00:25:19Can we get back now?
00:25:20Yes, yes.
00:25:22Be an angel and find out about those bylaws.
00:25:24Sure.
00:25:31Call me back when you get this.
00:25:33I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:48I'm getting bad vibes about this place.
00:25:51I think we should pack up and go.
00:25:53And leave my brother at his lowest ebb.
00:25:57You know why you're really here.
00:26:00He's using you.
00:26:01His flower festival isn't happening
00:26:03and he needed something to take its place.
00:26:05I wasn't born yesterday, Des.
00:26:08You're happy to be used?
00:26:10Credit me with some brains.
00:26:12I want something out of this as well.
00:26:13Look around.
00:26:16I'm owed half of this.
00:26:18Noah, you promised me.
00:26:20You said it will be two or three days at the most.
00:26:23That was before we got here.
00:26:25Well, I'm not staying here a second longer than I have to.
00:26:27What's got into you?
00:26:29There's someone who grew up around here.
00:26:30I thought he'd enjoy being back.
00:26:33I hate it here.
00:26:35What?
00:26:36Why would you say that?
00:26:38After this weekend, we are leaving.
00:26:40And we are never coming back.
00:26:42I mean it, Noah.
00:26:43Call me back when you get this.
00:27:02I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:27:06Kimmy, I just got your message.
00:27:17Oh, my God.
00:27:19Are you sure it's her?
00:27:20I can't.
00:27:23I just can't.
00:27:25Not while there's breath in my body.
00:27:34You're not working today.
00:27:35I blame Winter for running late.
00:27:38Did you know he got dumped last year because he planted some flowers the wrong way?
00:27:41It's the little things in life, John.
00:27:43You've got to get them just right.
00:27:45But don't worry.
00:27:46You're getting there.
00:27:46So, what do you think so far would Grandad approve?
00:27:50If you don't mind me saying it, it looks a bit lopsided.
00:27:54Very funny.
00:27:57Oh, I see where you've been going wrong here.
00:27:59Look, you've had this upside down.
00:28:01You tear that and you're in big trouble.
00:28:03Oh, Penny, Penny, oh, Penny!
00:28:08Ow!
00:28:11It's all right.
00:28:12I can dry it off.
00:28:14Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:28:17Did I mention carpentries in my jeans?
00:28:20I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:28:22Tell me what's wrong with this picture, Winter.
00:28:32Cuckoo's the only one that's smiling.
00:28:36Look at the clock.
00:28:38It's not level with the top of the painting.
00:28:41Fleur said it was level with Sir Alan's portrait,
00:28:43but here it's at least four inches lower.
00:28:45So someone moved it?
00:28:47Look who is level with the portrait.
00:28:50Brad.
00:28:50Which most likely means he was the intended target after all.
00:28:56Well, talking of Brad, sir, here's a strange one.
00:28:58Tech managed to get into his laptop,
00:29:00but as far as they could tell, he wasn't doing anything in Bitcoin.
00:29:03Truth is, he barely had a penny to his name.
00:29:06Then how did he pay for Frankie's engagement rate?
00:29:08Well, there's no sign of it in his accounts or credit card statements.
00:29:12Also, we heard back from his mobile phone provider
00:29:14and they confirmed that his phone was switched off at the time of the murder.
00:29:17Presumably they sent over a record of his recent calls
00:29:20and tape.
00:29:21Yeah, nothing unusual out of the ordinary.
00:29:27Also, sir, there is this.
00:29:29This was found under Brad's bed at the pub.
00:29:32Now, I presume that it belongs to Frankie,
00:29:34but I think it's worth checking.
00:29:35Did anything come back on Kim and E. Bullitt?
00:29:42Yes.
00:29:43I found out that her husband was killed in a hit and run a year ago.
00:29:47The driver was never traced.
00:29:49That explains the speed gun and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:29:53Intriguingly, the hit and run happened on the same day that the flower festival was rained off.
00:29:59In almost exactly a year to the day, Brad Furbank is pecked to death, as Fleur so eloquently put it.
00:30:06If he didn't know that the emeralds and gold were fake, imagine what seeing them might mean to him.
00:30:13Someone who's not only penniless, but also a proven liar.
00:30:18You mean he went there to steal it?
00:30:20Why else would he be there at three in the morning?
00:30:23So someone booby-trapped the bird and then re-hung the clock, knowing that he would come for it?
00:30:28That's exactly what they did, Winter.
00:30:34I'll speak to Frankie.
00:30:36You talk to her sister, Sylvia.
00:30:38I want to find out what they did or didn't know about Brad.
00:30:43And while you're at it, I need a book.
00:30:47A book?
00:30:47On, um, woodwork.
00:30:53My sweetheart, come along
00:30:56Don't you hear the fond song
00:30:59The sweet note of the nightingale flow
00:31:03Don't you hear the fond tale
00:31:06Of the sweet nightingale
00:31:09As she sings in those valleys below
00:31:12As she sings in those valleys below
00:31:19Oh, sorry.
00:31:24We don't open until tomorrow.
00:31:26I'm not a visitor.
00:31:27All the same.
00:31:29I'm Frankie.
00:31:31Oh, I mean Francesca, Bruce.
00:31:34Myrtle and Alan's daughter.
00:31:35Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your fiancée.
00:31:41Oh.
00:31:45That actually means more than you realise.
00:31:47I'm Nessie.
00:31:49Noah's partner. Were you looking for him?
00:31:50No.
00:31:51I just needed to go on a wander.
00:31:53How long will you be here for?
00:32:00Oh, hopefully just for the weekend
00:32:02If I can convince Noah
00:32:04Well, he wants to stay longer
00:32:06He thinks he can make a permanent home here
00:32:08Has he told my father that?
00:32:11Doesn't matter if he has
00:32:12I'm going to convince him to up sticks
00:32:14Couldn't hit me with you
00:32:16Could you?
00:32:17That was a joke
00:32:19Well, sort of
00:32:20Frankie, if you want to get away
00:32:23Then do it
00:32:24I did the same myself
00:32:26Years ago
00:32:26Left godly buzzard
00:32:28And never looked back
00:32:30And now you're the singing stilts lady
00:32:32And I can see for miles and miles
00:32:35To the horizon and beyond
00:32:37I'd love to try that one day
00:32:40Please?
00:32:47Let's see if you've got a head for heights
00:32:49Wow
00:33:04You're right
00:33:06You can see everything
00:33:07Frankie
00:33:11You have a moment
00:33:13Do me a very large favour, Sylvia
00:33:20Slap these up everywhere
00:33:24I'm working
00:33:25Yes, but you also have a civil duty
00:33:27To assist any knight of the realm
00:33:28Whenever he should so request
00:33:30For God's sake, Dad
00:33:31You're not a sir
00:33:32Grandad was the sir
00:33:34You don't inherit that title
00:33:35You have to have it bestowed
00:33:37Yes, well, I was a DIY bestowment
00:33:39Really shot my bloody ear off, actually
00:33:41Ah, have you found the culprit?
00:33:43The investigation's still ongoing
00:33:44Well, chop, chop
00:33:45Because the wonderful Noah's Bar
00:33:47Is opening tomorrow morning
00:33:4910am sharp
00:33:50More questions?
00:33:56Yes
00:33:56Do you mind if I step inside?
00:34:03Miss Bruce
00:34:03Can you start by telling me
00:34:06What you really thought of Brad?
00:34:07And I already made that clear
00:34:09I liked him
00:34:10I liked him
00:34:10A lot
00:34:11Presumably you didn't know
00:34:13That he was a con man
00:34:14And a thief
00:34:14I'm sorry, he was what?
00:34:17We found antihistamine
00:34:19In Brad's room at the pub
00:34:20It's for hay fever
00:34:22What sort on earth was he doing
00:34:24Showing up at a flower festival?
00:34:26And that makes him a thief?
00:34:28Well, there's a good chance
00:34:29That he was casing the house
00:34:30With the intention of robbing it later
00:34:32It's a well-known ploy
00:34:33Stately homes throw open their doors
00:34:35But they never truly know
00:34:36Who they're inviting inside
00:34:37Brad did nothing of the sort
00:34:38All he did was meet my sister
00:34:40And fall madly in love
00:34:41Or he realised that there was more to gain
00:34:44From seducing Frankie
00:34:45And marrying into the family
00:34:47Please stop
00:34:48This is awful
00:34:50I've never seen it before
00:34:54Where did you find it?
00:34:57It was in Brad's room at the pub
00:34:59This earring
00:35:05It doesn't mean he was
00:35:09No, Brad wouldn't do that to me
00:35:12How did you meet?
00:35:17It was on the eve of last year's
00:35:21War of the Roses festival
00:35:22We had a private preview
00:35:24We ended up talking
00:35:26So I took him on a tour of the house
00:35:27He asked to see inside?
00:35:30He seemed really keen
00:35:31I got the impression he liked me
00:35:34How much did you know about his bitcoin business?
00:35:39Only what he told me
00:35:40But he was doing great
00:35:41I'm afraid he was lying to you, Frankie
00:35:44He didn't have a penny to his name
00:35:46Of course he did
00:35:48Have you seen this ring?
00:35:50Why would you say that?
00:35:51He was overdrawn
00:35:52And owed money everywhere
00:35:53No, he was always splashing out on me
00:35:55You need to
00:35:56Get your facts straight
00:35:58Please don't let this be true
00:36:09It's been hard enough
00:36:11Trying to convince my parents
00:36:13I'm worthy of their love
00:36:14And
00:36:14Now this
00:36:17Is that all you wanted?
00:36:22Only my father's given me a job to do
00:36:24Were you around when Kimini's husband
00:36:26Was killed in the hit and run?
00:36:27What's that got to do with what happened to Brad?
00:36:30Well, we're aware that he showed up at Godly Manor
00:36:33The same day that it happened
00:36:34I remember spotting him with Frankie
00:36:37And wondering who he was
00:36:38But I didn't give it another thought
00:36:40Not until she introduced him a few weeks later
00:36:42I need to get on
00:36:44Oh, and I need a book
00:36:46On woodwork
00:36:57Do you have children?
00:37:00Chief Inspector
00:37:02A daughter
00:37:04And you love her, right?
00:37:09You love her with every fibre of your being
00:37:12Well, can you imagine what it's like when the opposite is true?
00:37:16Can you imagine what that would be like for your daughter?
00:37:23I can't see myself being anything other than in awe of her
00:37:27That's because
00:37:30You didn't bring her into this world for all the wrong reasons
00:37:34I had a brother
00:37:38Chief Inspector
00:37:39Francis
00:37:40Well, what I mean when I say I had a brother is
00:37:44He died when he was just over a year old
00:37:47And I was conceived
00:37:49Shortly afterwards
00:37:50But solely in the hope that my parents could somehow recreate him
00:37:56Lytle, it was so long ago
00:38:02I was probably seeing things
00:38:04Don't backtrack now
00:38:08Something made you think you saw Aggie Marlowe
00:38:11Now, what was it?
00:38:12It was the way she wouldn't look at me
00:38:14Like she didn't want to be recognised
00:38:17Perhaps you could have her arrested this time around
00:38:21Oh, what are you talking about?
00:38:23The police said Francis' death was due to natural causes
00:38:27There's no arrest happening here
00:38:28No, sometimes you have to take things into your own hands
00:38:32You don't mean that, do you?
00:38:38Mattel?
00:38:41You're scaring me
00:38:42Apparently my parents were out at an afternoon do with my grandfather
00:38:50And when my mother came back
00:38:52She found Francis dead on the floor
00:38:55He'd fallen out of his cot
00:38:56They'd left him on his own?
00:38:58No, they had a babysitter
00:38:59Aggie Marlowe
00:39:00But she vanished into thin air
00:39:02Sylvia said it broke my parents in half
00:39:05Until one of them had the desperately sad idea
00:39:08Of making another Francis
00:39:10Hence my name
00:39:13So they went ahead
00:39:16And sadly for them
00:39:19I emerged
00:39:20And that is when they realised that they couldn't get Francis back
00:39:24But worse
00:39:25Because they were saddled with someone every day
00:39:29Who reminds them that I'm not their precious son
00:39:33Whoicles
00:39:34Too far
00:39:38That's all right
00:39:38Yeah
00:39:38Sebastian
00:39:41I've got to aberen
00:39:43No
00:39:43Whoah
00:39:43Whoah
00:39:44I've only had some
00:39:45This long one
00:39:46And we had two
00:39:47To avoid
00:39:47I've only had a trigger
00:39:48But…
00:39:49I thought I saw her
00:39:50May
00:39:55Put them down
00:39:57And I thought I thought I'd have to show her
00:39:59So is how I might cause her
00:40:30The best I could do, sir.
00:40:44Is it for Mrs. B?
00:40:46Thank you, Winter.
00:40:47Yes, Sarah's struggling a bit with the arbor.
00:40:50She even managed to injure her thumb.
00:40:54Well, I'm sure she'd be glad of this.
00:40:56So, did Frankie recognize the earring?
00:40:59In a word, no.
00:41:02Oh, well, that puts the cat among the pigeons.
00:41:05The bride must have been seeing someone else.
00:41:09Dears, Winter.
00:41:11Okay.
00:41:13Yeah, thanks.
00:41:15Sir, we've had an anonymous call from a withheld number.
00:41:19There's a woman saying that she's very worried
00:41:21about an Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
00:41:25We don't know an Aggie Marlowe, do we?
00:41:27I think we do, Winter.
00:41:30The Aggie is short for Agnes,
00:41:32which can also be shortened to Nessie.
00:41:35Perhaps you should go and have a chat with her.
00:41:37Mm-hmm.
00:41:38Mm-hmm.
00:41:50Mm-hmm.
00:41:53Yeah.
00:41:55Who the hell are you?
00:42:10What are you doing in here?
00:42:12You don't remember.
00:42:16You couldn't keep your hands off me the last time we met.
00:42:20Aggie.
00:42:23This is Frances' room.
00:42:25How dare you?
00:42:27I was looking all over for you, Myrtle.
00:42:30And then I saw Frances' name on the door.
00:42:33And I couldn't help myself.
00:42:35If Myrtle were here, God knows what she would do to you.
00:42:38She's who I came here to see.
00:42:41I'm going to tell her what really happened that day.
00:42:45Noah is dead set on staying here.
00:42:47And the only way I get to stay here with him is if Myrtle and everyone else knows.
00:42:51You are the reason why Frances died.
00:42:54As if anyone's going to believe you.
00:42:56Don't you know what the best thing is?
00:42:58You brought Noah back here.
00:43:00Which means you brought me back here too.
00:43:03Everything comes home to Roost eventually.
00:43:05That's enough.
00:43:05I'm not having this.
00:43:06What the hell do you think?
00:43:17What the hell am I that?
00:43:19Oh my.
00:43:22Let's go.
00:43:28Oh my.
00:43:29What the hell am I that?
00:43:30Oh, my God.
00:44:01You've joined a library.
00:44:03Oh, Winter borrowed it.
00:44:05He said he thought he might need it.
00:44:08That's so nice of him.
00:44:09I thought we could look through it together.
00:44:12Why would we need to do that?
00:44:14When you've got the blood of a master carpenter running through you.
00:44:18You don't need this.
00:44:19I don't want it to come so naturally to you.
00:44:23Shall I have to get any splinters?
00:44:30Winter.
00:44:34Impeccable timing.
00:44:37You found Nessie.
00:44:38What did she say?
00:44:43I'll be right there.
00:44:44A little bird tells me, not a cuckoo this time, you were looking for Agnes Marlon.
00:45:00The good news is you found her.
00:45:03But the bad news is someone else found her first.
00:45:06Talk us through it, Fleur.
00:45:08Judging from the angle of the attack, I'd say she was approached from behind.
00:45:13And the billhook did the rest.
00:45:16The what?
00:45:17Billhook, Winter.
00:45:18It's a highly versatile cutting tool my grandfather had.
00:45:21Same sort of tool you might find in Noah's bark.
00:45:24You look ten percent more handsome when you say something intelligent.
00:45:28I'll have to set you brain teasers up the percentage.
00:45:32Time of death, Fleur?
00:45:34Well, I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:45:37And the killer just left the weapon lying around?
00:45:39It was stuffed behind that fallen log over there.
00:45:44Well, let's start with Noah.
00:45:47Before you lope off, she was carrying this.
00:45:51But I wouldn't get too excited.
00:45:54I don't think he's the killer.
00:46:00What the hell?
00:46:01They're not letting the public in.
00:46:04Well, what did you expect?
00:46:06Aggie Marlowe was murdered last night.
00:46:08Yes, that person was a blight on our family.
00:46:11Yes.
00:46:12And, of course, we know who brought her here, don't we?
00:46:14Now, Noah couldn't have possibly known who she was.
00:46:17How do we know that?
00:46:18I don't trust a thing about him.
00:46:20Ever since he arrived, terrible things have happened.
00:46:23Is it really that terrible that Aggie's dead?
00:46:24You know full well what I mean.
00:46:26I want him gone, Alan.
00:46:28Yes, he and I were together for years.
00:46:37It's all right.
00:46:39I saw her at a folk festival.
00:46:41She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever set eyes on.
00:46:48We started chatting and realized we'd both lived in godly buzz at once.
00:46:54From that point on, we never left each other's side.
00:46:58Ended up creating all this.
00:47:00Did you know that Nessie had changed her name from Aggie?
00:47:06Aggie?
00:47:07No.
00:47:09She was always Nessie to me.
00:47:10Well, she never mentioned that she used to babysit for the Bruises.
00:47:16She never said a word.
00:47:19How did she react after Brad found you?
00:47:21To be honest, she didn't want me to come here.
00:47:28When we pitched up, she got pretty nervy.
00:47:32Even had a nightmare the first night we stayed here.
00:47:34Had to get up and go for a wonder.
00:47:37Nessie said she never went up to the house,
00:47:39but did she encounter any of the Bruises other than Frankie?
00:47:44Not that I know of.
00:47:45Can you tell us where you were yesterday evening, Mr. Connoboy?
00:47:54Don't even go there.
00:47:58Nessie was the love of my life.
00:48:02Mr. Connoboy.
00:48:09I was at the pub with Angel.
00:48:12We just finished setting up and deserved a pint or two.
00:48:15Did she say Angel?
00:48:18The Axeman.
00:48:20He looks ferocious, but underneath he's a kitten.
00:48:23We believe that a tool from your troop
00:48:25was used in the attack on Nessie.
00:48:28A, um, a billhook.
00:48:32Is there one missing?
00:48:34I'd have to ask her out.
00:48:37Anyone could come in and take anything.
00:48:41It's not like we'd lock anything away.
00:48:45I was waiting for you to join me.
00:48:46Saj, what are you doing?
00:49:11Waiting for you to join me.
00:49:15Here.
00:49:19I don't understand.
00:49:21I want to make a toast to Brad.
00:49:23He lived here for a year, and I'm gonna miss him.
00:49:26Saj, you may as well know, the police are saying he was a con man.
00:49:30No way. A con man?
00:49:33Did you know? Or ever get a sense of it?
00:49:36Like you said, he was here a whole year.
00:49:38Me? Nah. Poor Frankie.
00:49:43Are you sure you didn't know?
00:49:45Are you sure you didn't?
00:49:46What does that mean?
00:49:47I don't know.
00:49:49I always thought you had a bit of a thing for him.
00:49:51A thing? What thing? Why would you say that?
00:49:54Well, you're always so keen on him, always bigging him up.
00:49:57Well, says he's number one fan.
00:49:59That wasn't me. No way.
00:50:02You've fawned all over him.
00:50:03In fact, you changed personality whenever he was around.
00:50:06Aye, well, maybe it's a good thing he's not around anymore, eh?
00:50:10Look at this. This is crazy. None of this matters now. He's gone.
00:50:22I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:50:27Seen.
00:50:29Normal service has resumed.
00:50:32Best make a different toast, hmm?
00:50:37Out with the bath and all that.
00:50:43That.
00:50:44Out with the brad, more like.
00:50:46What was Nessie doing out here on her own?
00:50:53Maybe she was meeting someone.
00:50:54What, with a teddy bear?
00:50:56I'll get tech to check out her phone calls and texts.
00:51:01Also, have them chase up the anonymous tip about Aggie Marlow being back in the village.
00:51:08She was killed almost immediately afterwards, so whoever called us was really worried.
00:51:13You think one of the Bruce's found out she was back?
00:51:16I'll go and see.
00:51:21This is the last place I saw Francis alive.
00:51:24I gave him a cuddle before Alan and I took Sir Percival to a party.
00:51:31I'll never forgive myself for leaving him.
00:51:34And when you returned home?
00:51:37I stayed longer than planned.
00:51:39It was Kim and his fault. She can chat for England.
00:51:42Alan had wandered off ages before.
00:51:45When I got back, there was no sign of Aggie anywhere.
00:51:48And then I found Francis.
00:51:53Lying right there.
00:51:55Not moving.
00:52:01Lady Myrtle, did you know that Aggie Marlow was living on your grounds with Noah?
00:52:08Of course I didn't.
00:52:09You never met or saw her?
00:52:11I just said.
00:52:12I didn't know she was back.
00:52:14And trust me, if I had, Aggie would have been dead a lot sooner.
00:52:19I want that woman's body off our land.
00:52:22You know what she did to Myrtle and I?
00:52:26Where were you last night?
00:52:28Are you listening to me, Barnaby?
00:52:29It's Detective Chief Inspector, Barnaby.
00:52:34I was in my bed getting my beauty sleep in preparation for the grand opening,
00:52:38which actually won't be remotely grand now, thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:52:43Were you aware that she was part of Noah's bar?
00:52:46What on earth are you talking about?
00:52:48It turns out she was Noah's partner. Had been for years.
00:52:50My God, you couldn't make it up.
00:52:53Brad didn't happen to find that out when he was searching for Noah.
00:52:56Would I have invited him here if he had?
00:52:57If you wanted revenge for Francis, then yes, that's exactly what you would have done.
00:53:02Look, I invited Noah here simply to raise some cash.
00:53:07My father didn't exactly leave a pot of gold in his will,
00:53:10and these stately homes cost a fortune to maintain.
00:53:13On the outside, it looks like we've won the lottery.
00:53:15On the inside, we can barely afford a ticket.
00:53:17Well, there's still the house and grounds, though.
00:53:20And surely you knew that finding Noah could result in you
00:53:23having to hand over half of everything you'd inherited.
00:53:25You've met him? He's a hippie.
00:53:28They don't belong in houses like this.
00:53:30Anyway, he'll drift away soon enough.
00:53:32Did Brad know you were struggling financially?
00:53:36I admit, I was a little too keen to get Noah here,
00:53:39and someone like Brad might have noted that.
00:53:43Someone like Brad?
00:53:44He was a parasite.
00:53:46I didn't realize at first,
00:53:47but he was a tapeworm eating his way into our family.
00:53:51Sir?
00:53:58I called Saj Solanki,
00:54:01and he said that he remembers seeing Noah and the Axeman in the pub.
00:54:05It seems that Bruce's both had a strong motive for killing Nessie,
00:54:10and Sir Alan had an inkling that Brad wasn't the person he claimed to be.
00:54:15Talking of Brad,
00:54:16we know that he was desperate for money to keep up his lies and lifestyle,
00:54:21so all it would take is for his killer to know that as well.
00:54:25What about the person
00:54:27with a diamond earring belongs to?
00:54:29It could be some kind of love rat thing.
00:54:32Elegantly put, Winter?
00:54:33Or Frankie found out that Brad was cheating on her
00:54:35and killed him in a fit of jealousy.
00:54:37I'm sure that's possible in your love rat world.
00:54:39She was also the only member of the Bruce family
00:54:41that we know for certain met Nessie.
00:54:43Ah, and you were doing so well, Winter,
00:54:45but Frankie hadn't been born
00:54:47when Nessie was babysitting for the Bruce's.
00:54:50It's doubtful she'd know her on site.
00:54:52Now, here's a question for you.
00:54:54How does a penniless man rent a room in a pub
00:54:58for an entire year?
00:54:59Look, Kemeny won't report you for speeding.
00:55:16There are mitigating circumstances just like you told her.
00:55:19You know what she's like.
00:55:21She takes her misery out on anyone she can find.
00:55:23I can't have points on my licence.
00:55:25I could lose my job.
00:55:27Well, come work here, then.
00:55:28You'd probably earn more.
00:55:31If this world of woodenness takes off,
00:55:33this place will be packed.
00:55:34It's not the money.
00:55:36I happen to love that job.
00:55:38Mr Solanke, a word if you don't mind.
00:55:43I thought you were all done here.
00:55:46How did Brad pay for his room and board?
00:55:48Like anyone else?
00:55:49He was penniless, Mr Solanke.
00:55:51We can just go through your books.
00:55:53Right, well, uh, thing is, uh, hindsight's a great thing, right?
00:55:59But, um, I kind of let Brad run up a tab.
00:56:03For an entire year?
00:56:05Well, he was a nice guy.
00:56:07I totally trusted him.
00:56:08Well, tell them, Sylvia.
00:56:10You were always urging Frankie to marry Emma.
00:56:12You'll need on that.
00:56:14Well, we have you.
00:56:15We found this in Brad's room.
00:56:19Have you ever seen that before?
00:56:21No.
00:56:22Sorry.
00:56:23Brad ever have anyone other than Frankie back to his room?
00:56:26Not that I ever saw.
00:56:28Fleur?
00:56:28Well, believe it or not, we're at the pub right now.
00:56:37We are going to need access to Brad's room again.
00:56:42He'll be fine.
00:56:43Don't worry.
00:56:43Oh, Noah.
00:57:02I'm so sorry.
00:57:03I just heard about Aggie.
00:57:07Aggie?
00:57:08I meant Nessie.
00:57:10You must be devastated.
00:57:13That answers everything.
00:57:16She called herself Nessie, yet you just called her Aggie.
00:57:21I know your big pals with Myrtle, my charming sister-in-law.
00:57:26Did you do the family a favor and tell them who Nessie really was?
00:57:31I think you should leave.
00:57:32I think I should go to the police, don't you?
00:57:37What is it called?
00:57:39Accessory to murder?
00:57:41Go on, then.
00:57:42I've done nothing wrong.
00:57:44I'll tell them you clearly recognized her, and they'll realize you're the only one who knew who she was.
00:57:53Why are you here?
00:57:55What do you want from me?
00:57:57That's better.
00:57:57I know I got permission to put on my festival, but what if I wanted to set up home there permanently, with all my people?
00:58:08That's something else entirely.
00:58:10You're the head of the council.
00:58:11I'm sure you could make it happen.
00:58:12I already hate Sir Alan.
00:58:14I doubt they'd be too fond of you for riding to his rescue.
00:58:17We're talking about my home.
00:58:19A home I've been denied for far too long, so make it happen.
00:58:24What if I can't?
00:58:28This is my birthright, and I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of that.
00:58:35What are you doing?
00:58:52What's that for?
00:58:53Dare to explain, Mr. Slunky?
00:58:56No idea.
00:58:57That was all I did here when I started running the police.
00:59:01Shall I keep going?
00:59:02Well, where is this leading, Fleur?
00:59:03I worked on a similar case once.
00:59:05There were mirrors all over the walls in that place as well.
00:59:08Clearly, the idea took off.
00:59:10When I first encountered this sort of thing, my boss told me to touch the mirrors with my fingernail.
00:59:15And my fingernail touched its reflection.
00:59:18What else would it touch?
00:59:21Index finger, please, Winter.
00:59:22I promise not to buy it.
00:59:28If it were a normal mirror, your fingernail and its reflection would never meet.
00:59:33There'll always be a gap, like so.
00:59:36But with a two-way mirror, finger touches finger.
00:59:43And they're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Slunky?
00:59:46It's for security purposes.
00:59:59Try again, Mr. Slunky.
01:00:04Look, a lot of people book into hotels and not just to sleep.
01:00:09They meet up with lovers.
01:00:10Some of them do secret deals.
01:00:12I've heard them on the phone lying about their whereabouts.
01:00:15The list goes on.
01:00:17I mean, half the people that come in here are up to no good.
01:00:20So you thought you'd make some money out of it?
01:00:24When did Brad find out you were doing this?
01:00:27First night he stayed.
01:00:28He accidentally knocked over the mirror onto the floor and he saw the camera behind it.
01:00:33But he didn't report you?
01:00:34He told me to lose the cameras in his room but keep the rest in the other rooms.
01:00:39He wanted in on it.
01:00:40In fact, he took over.
01:00:42Made me blackmail everyone that I could.
01:00:43And for the last year he's lived here rent-free in exchange for his silence.
01:00:49He's bled me dry in every way you can imagine.
01:00:52Including forcing you to buy Frankie's engagement ring.
01:00:57Well, how do you know that?
01:00:58We didn't until now.
01:01:01We'll need to look into Mr. Solanke's finances.
01:01:05Am I going to prison for this?
01:01:07At the moment I'm more interested in who Brad was seeing behind Frankie's back.
01:01:12Well, he wasn't seeing anyone.
01:01:14You're in enough trouble as it is, Mr. Solanke.
01:01:16I couldn't say anything before because then you'd come back and ask for proof and then you'd...
01:01:23Find out what you've been doing.
01:01:25She used to come in the back way.
01:01:28Obviously didn't know I had a hidden camera outside.
01:01:31But it was...
01:01:32Sylvia Bruce.
01:01:33Sylvia?
01:01:34No.
01:01:35It was her mum.
01:01:37Myrtle.
01:01:37Look at these idiots, sir.
01:02:02She can't give me a ticket.
01:02:05This is official police business.
01:02:07So's this.
01:02:09Just so you know, you can pass on my information, but it'll be up to the police if they decide to prosecute or not.
01:02:13And, well, I am the police.
01:02:17Well, we'll find out on Monday when I send in my data whether that helps or not.
01:02:26When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:02:29It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:02:32And don't think you can get away with this at night either.
01:02:35I'm on guard 24-7.
01:02:38Sorry, Kimmy.
01:02:40Look at how it's on the line.
01:02:44Someone needs to take that speed gun off her.
01:02:47Drive on, Winter.
01:02:48Would you like to know where we found this?
01:03:02You should know that Brad never loved Frankie.
01:03:10I mean, how could he?
01:03:12She's quite unlovable.
01:03:13Alan and I tried for years.
01:03:15When did you and Brad start seeing each other?
01:03:19Months ago.
01:03:21I rather felt for him, all that pretending he had to do.
01:03:24So the affair was still going on even at the engagement party.
01:03:27Did Sir Alan know?
01:03:28It doesn't matter if he did or he didn't.
01:03:31He disappeared the night Francis died.
01:03:34There's more life in his portrait.
01:03:36When did you last see Brad?
01:03:39When he was lying dead in our hallway.
01:03:41Lady Myrtle?
01:03:42At the engagement party.
01:03:44And you were never worried that Sarge would see you at the pub and tell Frankie?
01:03:48I didn't go there often.
01:03:49And Brad seemed to have some hold over Sarge.
01:03:53He said he wouldn't say a word if he knew what was good for him.
01:03:56And sadly for you, he can say whatever he wants now.
01:03:59What are you talking about?
01:04:00Sarge has CCTV footage of you two arguing outside his pub the day before Brad died.
01:04:06What was the argument about?
01:04:08He'd found out that Alan and I aren't exactly wealthy.
01:04:12He was furious.
01:04:13He said I'd been leading him on.
01:04:15Did he break up with you?
01:04:16He threatened to.
01:04:17How did you feel about that?
01:04:19How do you think?
01:04:20Did you get the dibbler from Kim and his shop?
01:04:23All in to see her and slip one into your pocket?
01:04:26I wouldn't know a dibbler from a punch on the nose.
01:04:28And then you rigged the clock?
01:04:29Oh, this is ridiculous.
01:04:31Murder very often is Lady Myrtle.
01:04:36You're not going to bring Lady Myrtle in, sir?
01:04:39Sir, Alan has already given her an alibi for the night Brad was killed.
01:04:42We need something concrete.
01:04:45Yes, winter.
01:04:47Oh, okay.
01:04:48That was quick.
01:04:50Thanks.
01:04:51Sir, Tech have managed to trace the anonymous call regarding Aggie Marlow.
01:04:55It was from Kim and E. Bullitt.
01:04:58Oh, of course it was.
01:05:00And we already know she likes to share her findings with the police.
01:05:04Hop over to her shop and find out if she told anyone else.
01:05:08She was obviously worried about what might happen.
01:05:10Hello?
01:05:32Hello?
01:05:33You could have been somewhere more accessible.
01:05:34I don't even like that hill.
01:05:35Ah.
01:05:36Ah.
01:05:37Ah.
01:05:38Ah.
01:05:39Ah.
01:05:40Ah.
01:05:41Ah.
01:05:42Ah.
01:05:43Ah.
01:05:44Ah.
01:05:45Ah.
01:05:46Ah.
01:05:47Ah.
01:05:49Ah.
01:05:50Ah.
01:05:51Ah.
01:05:52Ah.
01:05:53Ah.
01:05:54Ah.
01:05:55Ah.
01:05:56Ah.
01:05:57Ah.
01:05:58Ah.
01:05:59Ah.
01:06:00Ah.
01:06:01Ah.
01:06:02Ah.
01:06:03Ah.
01:06:05Ah.
01:06:08Ah.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:10Ah.
01:06:11There you are.
01:06:13Let me just catch my brain.
01:06:15Ah.
01:06:16Oh.
01:06:17Ah.
01:06:18Ah.
01:06:19Ah.
01:06:20Ah.
01:06:21Ah.
01:06:22Ah.
01:06:23Ah.
01:06:24Ah.
01:06:25Ah.
01:06:26Ah.
01:06:27Ah.
01:06:28Ah.
01:06:29Ah.
01:06:30Ah.
01:06:31Ah.
01:06:32THE END
01:07:02How's your thumb?
01:07:04Throbbing.
01:07:08Do you really think you can put that arbor together?
01:07:11Only I don't want it suddenly collapsing on Betty or her friends or on me, for that matter.
01:07:17That arbor will still be standing a hundred years from now.
01:07:20A monument to the inherited skills of a master craftsman.
01:07:26Right.
01:07:32What's that around her mouth?
01:07:56Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue. Super strong.
01:08:00I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:08:04It looks like someone stuck it to the chair, and then if I'm right, they force-fed her with whatever was left in the glue gun.
01:08:12That's also covered in glue.
01:08:14Whoever it was, tried to make it cozy and inviting.
01:08:17If only.
01:08:20Any idea where the chairs came from?
01:08:23Judging from the finish, I'd say a craftsman, at that.
01:08:25Would you like a ticket?
01:08:42I'm afraid Kiminy Bullock was killed sometime last night.
01:09:05Oh, my God.
01:09:08I was wondering what had happened.
01:09:11Were you at the house?
01:09:13No.
01:09:14I stayed here last night.
01:09:16Noah's a bit lost right now, obviously, so I thought I could be there for him.
01:09:22You didn't see or hear anything?
01:09:24No.
01:09:26Sorry.
01:09:27This is awful.
01:09:29I've known Kiminy my whole life.
01:09:31Excuse me.
01:09:54Wood is so much more than we think it is.
01:09:57It has sheltered us, defended us, given up its body to us.
01:10:05Yes, she came up with that.
01:10:07All of this was her idea.
01:10:10Show people how much they can learn and benefit from nature.
01:10:14And turn it into furniture.
01:10:17Namely, a pair of chairs.
01:10:20If you're looking to pin this on me, anyone could have come in here.
01:10:24You really shouldn't try locking things away, Mr. Conorboy.
01:10:27Someone needs to go and tell the crowds we won't be opening any time soon.
01:10:31They'll have to come back next year.
01:10:33You're planning on returning?
01:10:36I'm not actually planning on leaving.
01:10:38I was born here.
01:10:41Nessie was born here.
01:10:43I belong here.
01:10:44Hi, sir.
01:10:58Yeah, I'm in Kiminy's shop.
01:10:59Someone's been in here and...
01:11:02Looks like they've smashed up her laptop.
01:11:06Yeah.
01:11:06Is there anyone Kiminy might have upset recently?
01:11:16If there was, she didn't tell me.
01:11:19We know she left an anonymous tip-off about Aggie Marlow being back in Godly Buzzard.
01:11:25Did she happen to tell you as well?
01:11:27As I've already said, that wouldn't have gone well for Aggie.
01:11:30Is that why Kiminy decided to contact us?
01:11:34You met her.
01:11:35She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:11:39Talking of which, did she ever mention the hit-and-run?
01:11:42Only to the point of boredom.
01:11:44More recently, I mean, as in, had she found out who killed her husband?
01:11:48No, she'd have said.
01:11:50In fact, she'd have screamed it from the rooftops.
01:11:52We know that Brad checked into Saj's pub on the same night that Kiminy's husband was killed.
01:12:00Before you fall down that rabbit hole,
01:12:03Brad got a puncture up at the house and walked down to the village.
01:12:07He couldn't have run anyone over, let alone Kiminy's husband.
01:12:15I don't suppose I could have Francis's teddy.
01:12:18Only Kiminy bought that for him.
01:12:20It feels so wrong that Aggie took it.
01:12:22How did you know about the teddy bear?
01:12:28We deliberately withheld that information.
01:12:31Alan told me he must have let it slip, Chief Inspector.
01:12:47Charles, how good of you to call.
01:12:49Now, I may need you to sue the police for loss of earnings.
01:12:54Yes, that's right, the police.
01:12:57I'll send you an email with all the details.
01:12:59Speak soon.
01:13:00Well, that should shrink your annual budget.
01:13:05How did you know about Aggie Marlowe taking Francis's teddy bear?
01:13:09You told your wife, remember?
01:13:12Well, I probably picked it up off of one of you lot.
01:13:16Aggie must have gone up to Francis's room.
01:13:19I think you saw her.
01:13:21You're an absolute balderdash.
01:13:23Why would she go up there?
01:13:24I didn't know she had.
01:13:26It seems a strange place to return to, considering the circumstances.
01:13:29Or was she coming to see you and Lady Myrtle?
01:13:32I very much doubt it.
01:13:35She'd been avoiding being seen, yet she felt confident enough to come to the house.
01:13:41The place where she'd apparently left a child to die.
01:13:44I'm afraid I can't answer for her actions.
01:13:47I happen to think you can.
01:13:48What really happened on the day your son died?
01:13:52I'd really rather not go back there.
01:13:54It's still exceedingly raw, even after all these years.
01:13:59I know that you and your wife went to a party with your father.
01:14:04She said that she came back alone, which implies that either you were still at the party,
01:14:09or you'd already left.
01:14:11No, I stayed till the bitter end.
01:14:13Then you would have seen both Lady Myrtle and Kimmy, because they stayed late as well.
01:14:18You've spent a long time living with this, Sir Alan.
01:14:31She was extremely attractive back then.
01:14:35And I was only a little older than her.
01:14:38In your eyes, perhaps?
01:14:41And I've been drinking.
01:14:43And you know, sometimes on those odd occasions when you have a romantic thought,
01:14:47and then that thought becomes a possibility.
01:14:50And then before you know where you are, it's a cast-iron certainty.
01:14:53And I was Sir Percival's son.
01:14:55How could she not be impressed?
01:14:57But Aggie wasn't impressed, was she?
01:14:59Well, she tried to be polite, and I went along with it at first.
01:15:03But then I said we haven't got much time, and perhaps we should move things forward.
01:15:07Well, she was appalled.
01:15:10Said she wanted to go and check on Francis.
01:15:13He was crying, and I stopped her.
01:15:17I didn't let her see him.
01:15:20For how long?
01:15:22Well, I thought I heard a thump or a thud or something,
01:15:26but I just ignored it because I had other things on my mind.
01:15:31And Aggie heard it too, and told me to open the door.
01:15:35She said it over and over again, and when I refused,
01:15:37she slapped me, and then she dodged by me.
01:15:39And her first thought was to go and check on Francis.
01:15:43And that's when I heard her scream.
01:15:47And by the time you got there?
01:15:50Well, to my eternal shame, I blamed her.
01:15:54I said it was all her fault,
01:15:56and that I would see her locked up for life.
01:15:59So she ran,
01:16:03knowing that no one would believe her word against yours,
01:16:06the son of Sir Percival Bruce.
01:16:09She came to see me a few nights ago.
01:16:13She told me she was going to tell Myrtle the truth.
01:16:15Well, everybody, in fact.
01:16:17Why now, after all this time?
01:16:19Well, Noah wants to set up permanent residence on the grounds,
01:16:22but I didn't kill her, I swear.
01:16:24I didn't even try to get that damn teddy back.
01:16:27I just stood there, frozen,
01:16:32in this pathetic excuse that I call my life.
01:16:45Winter.
01:16:45Sir, I looked into Saj's financials, like you said,
01:16:59and the odd thing was that Sylvia
01:17:00paid for Brad's room the night he turned up in Godly Buzzard.
01:17:04But she said that she didn't meet him that day.
01:17:06I think we'd better talk to her.
01:17:08Also, Fleur's tech team found a smudge of blue ink
01:17:11on Kim and he's laptop.
01:17:13It was only tiny, but she's going to run it.
01:17:14I tell her there's no me.
01:17:16Yeah, I already have, sir.
01:17:18Because it's probably from the stamp
01:17:20that Sylvia uses in her library.
01:17:21You won't jump ahead of me, Winter.
01:17:23There is a first time for everything, sir.
01:17:25You should get a bonus for all the things you've taught me.
01:17:29Didn't tech have any luck with Kim and his laptop?
01:17:32They managed to retrieve most of the data,
01:17:33but it was just the speeding reports that she'd been filing.
01:17:36And I see.
01:17:37Hmm.
01:17:38I should go and talk to her before she heads off.
01:17:51Sylvia, I wanted to ask,
01:17:52why did you pay for Brad's room
01:17:54the night that the flower festival was rained off?
01:17:57You said that you hadn't met him that day.
01:18:01Sylvia!
01:18:01Sylvia!
01:18:03Sylvia!
01:18:04Put your foot down, Winter.
01:18:22Oh.
01:18:27I've got to get around it, sir.
01:18:29See if there's someone to pass up ahead.
01:18:30You're following me!
01:18:33What's she doing?
01:18:34Where's she going?
01:18:35She's on her way to Godly Manor.
01:18:39You can't go and live with that excuse for an uncle.
01:18:42I can do what the hell I like.
01:18:44Noah's going to try and take all of this from us.
01:18:47Not just the grounds he wants.
01:18:48He'll come for his share of the house.
01:18:50And you think I'm on your side?
01:18:51I hope he gets the lot.
01:18:54Frankie.
01:18:55Frankie!
01:18:56Frankie!
01:18:56Frankie!
01:19:00What are you doing?
01:19:26They know.
01:19:27Know what?
01:19:28What I did.
01:19:29Pull yourself together, Sylvia.
01:19:30I killed him, Mother.
01:19:33I killed him.
01:19:39What the hell is going on?
01:19:41He's shaking like a leaf.
01:19:46Sylvia, I don't understand.
01:19:48Ask them.
01:19:50They know.
01:19:51Stop saying that.
01:19:52Will somebody talk to me?
01:19:54Tell them, then.
01:19:55Tell them what I did.
01:19:56I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia.
01:19:58I didn't see him.
01:20:04The road was empty one minute the next.
01:20:06She was just standing there right in front of me.
01:20:09Who is she talking about?
01:20:11Jiminy Bullitt's husband, Lawrence.
01:20:13What?
01:20:14Sylvia?
01:20:15Right.
01:20:15Don't say another word.
01:20:17Alan, call your solicitor.
01:20:18Tell us what happened, Sylvia.
01:20:20Leave my daughter alone.
01:20:22Alan, call Charles now.
01:20:24I didn't think anyone had seen me, so I drove off, not knowing what to do.
01:20:32I was in such a state, though.
01:20:33I had to pull over, thought I was going to be sick.
01:20:36A few minutes later, there was a tap on the side of the library.
01:20:39Brad had seen what you'd done.
01:20:42He made me pay for his room at Sash's pub.
01:20:44He was really after something else.
01:20:49I'm so sorry.
01:20:51I'm so sorry.
01:20:54He wanted to be in the manor.
01:20:56He wanted a portrait of his own.
01:20:57He wanted it all.
01:20:59So he told me I had to make sure you married him.
01:21:04Doesn't anyone want me for who I am?
01:21:06I know.
01:21:08I know, and I hated him so much for it.
01:21:10I wanted to rescue you, Frankie.
01:21:12I wanted so many things.
01:21:13Winter?
01:21:14As I learned at great cost last year, there are certain perennials that shouldn't be planted
01:21:18next to each other.
01:21:19Kimony would know that better than anyone.
01:21:22I think we found Brad's phone.
01:21:25And on it, no doubt, we'll find out why it had to be buried.
01:21:28Mm-hmm.
01:21:29Am I right, Frankie?
01:21:34I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:21:36I know it was you who smashed up Kimony's laptop.
01:21:39Me?
01:21:40I had no idea that even happened.
01:21:42I saw a list of number plates on a document that Kimony was putting together.
01:21:47Your friend Cordelia's number plate was on it, along with a date and time.
01:21:51Then talk to Cordelia, not me.
01:21:53Ironically, that was actually the very thing you were trying to prevent.
01:21:57When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:22:00It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:22:03And don't think you can get away with this at night, either.
01:22:05I'm on guard, 24-7.
01:22:08You took Cordelia's car after everyone had passed out, after your celebrations.
01:22:13You drove it up here, not thinking for a minute that Kimony would still be out monitoring the
01:22:18roads.
01:22:19She was going to post her findings on Monday, and the moment Cordelia received her speeding
01:22:24notice, she would have questioned it.
01:22:26You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:22:32Is this true?
01:22:33Not a word of it.
01:22:34And who stays up half the night looking for speeders?
01:22:37Kimony did.
01:22:38She was heartbroken after Lawrence.
01:22:40She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:22:42We know that the cuckoo clock had been moved high enough to kill Brad.
01:22:47And who would have known Brad's height better than you?
01:22:50Try my mother.
01:22:52She seemed to have spent a lot of time with him.
01:22:55Yes, mother, I knew that earring was yours.
01:22:58Would you like to tell us what's on the phone, Frankie?
01:23:01It won't take us long to access it.
01:23:15Well, when you put it like that.
01:23:18Frankie.
01:23:24It was the look on his face that did it.
01:23:27It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:23:31I knew what he was thinking.
01:23:34So I sent him a message.
01:23:37Why don't we steal the clock and run away together?
01:23:41He agreed.
01:23:42Said we should do it after things had died down.
01:23:44But you came up here and rigged the clock.
01:23:46Because I knew he was lying.
01:23:48He wanted it all for himself.
01:23:52I hoped I was wrong.
01:23:54But sometimes you just know.
01:23:56It was horrible to watch.
01:24:01How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:24:20I didn't matter what time it was.
01:24:24Frankie knew Brad would turn the hour hands to get the cuckoo to come out regardless.
01:24:31Tell me about Nessie.
01:24:33Presumably you saw her up at the house.
01:24:35Kimberly, I just got your message.
01:24:39Oh my God.
01:24:42Are you sure it's her?
01:24:45I can't.
01:24:46I just can't.
01:24:47Not while there's breath in my body.
01:24:49I hadn't a clue who my mother was talking about.
01:24:52Until you realized there was only one person your mother could hate that much.
01:24:56Aggie Marlowe.
01:24:57And there she was.
01:25:01Carrying Francis' teddy.
01:25:03So you took revenge for your brother.
01:25:05How could I not?
01:25:06She's responsible for this nightmare I call my life.
01:25:11Only she wasn't.
01:25:13What?
01:25:15I suggest you speak to Sir Alan about that.
01:25:19I'm curious about the blue ink on Kim and his laptop.
01:25:22Presumably you wanted to throw us off the trail.
01:25:26Sorry, sis.
01:25:30You all but forced me into loving Brad.
01:25:32It was his doing, not mine.
01:25:34But I didn't know that, did I?
01:25:36I believed every word he said.
01:25:38I'm your sister.
01:25:39I was put in a horrible position.
01:25:40You want to know about horrible positions?
01:25:43Try killing three people.
01:25:45Most people would have just called off the engagement.
01:25:48Blame them.
01:25:49They made me that way.
01:25:50I grew up being rejected for not being what they desperately wanted.
01:25:54And there I was again.
01:25:56Not being what Brad wanted.
01:26:01What's a girl to do?
01:26:06Though I rather hoped I was always one step ahead of you.
01:26:09If it's any consolation, you were.
01:26:12But you always saw the wood despite the trees.
01:26:18Oh, how ironic.
01:26:25I don't understand you, Frankie.
01:26:28How are you saying all these things?
01:26:30As if you didn't have a care in the world.
01:26:32Because I learned from the worst.
01:26:33If only you and father had wanted me.
01:26:36It's just a simple, little thing.
01:26:39Like loving a child.
01:26:40But it was beyond both of you.
01:26:49I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:26:52I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:27:12That's it.
