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.
00:00:21That'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 pants?
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?
00:01:30Is there 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.
00:02:06Yes!
00:02:07You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:08I can't do this on my own.
00:02:09You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:10Not me.
00:02:11Come on, guys!
00:02:12Come on guys!
00:02:14I'm all right!
00:02:15I'm all right, come on!
00:02:16Let's go, my mum.
00:02:17Oh, my mum needs to tell me about this place.
00:02:20Why have you stopped?
00:02:21Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:22Yes!
00:02:23You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:25I can't do this on my own.
00:02:27You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:28Not me.
00:02:29Come on, guys!
00:02:42Noah, I presume.
00:02:48How shall we handle this?
00:02:50Like Livingston and Stanley?
00:02:51It's a bigger moment than that.
00:02:54Oh.
00:02:55Oh, oh.
00:02:56Yes.
00:02:57Um.
00:02:58Girls, I want you to meet your uncle.
00:03:00We don't have an uncle.
00:03:02What on earth is going on?
00:03:03Myrtle, this is my half-brother Noah,
00:03:05and suffice to say, until recently,
00:03:08neither of us knew the other existed.
00:03:10Hi.
00:03:11Well, it's great to meet you all.
00:03:17I didn't want to turn up empty-handed.
00:03:21Oh, that's lovely.
00:03:30Time starts now, as they say.
00:03:35Oh, that's lovely.
00:03:40Oh!
00:03:45Cuckoo.
00:03:46Wow.
00:03:49Come on, everyone.
00:03:50Let's get a photo of you all by the clock.
00:03:52Oh, no.
00:03:53Well, it's a big moment.
00:03:56Old family, new family, family of the future.
00:04:00I'm not family.
00:04:00Just smile and say cheese.
00:04:04All right, sir.
00:04:05Cuckoo.
00:04:06Cuckoo.
00:04:09Love.
00:04:10Hang on.
00:04:11We need the happy couple in the middle.
00:04:13Oh, yeah.
00:04:14Come on.
00:04:15Am I going to get my share?
00:04:16You have your reward for marrying my daughter.
00:04:18That's not what we...
00:04:19Agreed, Alan.
00:04:20It's so, Alan, to you.
00:04:21All right.
00:04:21Oh, very nice.
00:04:26That's it.
00:04:27Well done, everyone.
00:04:28Come on.
00:04:58Come on.
00:05:28Come on.
00:05:58Come on.
00:05:59Come on.
00:06:00Come on.
00:06:01Come on.
00:06:02Come on.
00:06:03Come on.
00:06:04As you are well aware, my grandfather was a master carpenter.
00:06:07He was a carpenter.
00:06:09You make a brilliant detective.
00:06:11Oh, Winter.
00:06:12Sir.
00:06:13Oh.
00:06:14Oh, Winter.
00:06:15Sir.
00:06:16Oh.
00:06:17What 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.
00:06:30I thought it'd be this place.
00:06:31I almost came here last year.
00:06:32They have an annual flower festival.
00:06:33I know you're into horticulture, Winter.
00:06:34I'm not, but this girl I was seeing was...
00:06:35And when you say you almost came here, well, when she took one look at my house plants, she
00:06:54decided that I wasn't the one for her.
00:06:57Apparently they put the wrong perennials next to each other in the same pot.
00:07:01Small margins, Winter.
00:07:03Well, how am I supposed to know that some plants don't get on?
00:07:09Looks 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. I mean, how do brothers brother?
00:07:29Linda.
00:07:38Where did you get to last night? I woke up when you weren't there.
00:07:41I, uh, I had a nightmare. I took a walk to calm down.
00:07:48Look, if your brother needs you, he will tell you.
00:07:58Hello?
00:08:00Here's a new one for you.
00:08:03The poor fellow was pecked to death.
00:08:06Pecked?
00:08:07We didn't realize it was the murder weapon until it struck the hour and stabbed one of my sockers.
00:08:13He's lucky he is tall.
00:08:15Well, taller than the victim.
00:08:17Watch this.
00:08:19Um, better stand back first.
00:08:23Further?
00:08:24Well, I've seen everything now.
00:08:36The victim's name was Brad Furbank, aged 29.
00:08:41Time of death?
00:08:42Judging from his lividity and rigour, I'd say he'd been dead at least five hours.
00:08:47Well, that will put it about three o'clock this morning.
00:08:50Who found him?
00:08:51The lady of the house.
00:08:52Myrtle Bruce.
00:08:54She lives here with her husband, Sir Alan.
00:08:56Where was the clock hanging?
00:08:57It was level with that ghoulish portrait.
00:09:01The cuckoo stabbed Brad and he came tumbling down the stairs.
00:09:06Well, 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.
00:09:24You hadn't heard anything before that, say around three this morning?
00:09:28I had a bit too much to drink last night.
00:09:32So I was out like a light.
00:09:37Don't look at me.
00:09:38I tend to sleep the sleep of the just.
00:09:41Quiet.
00:09:43Tell me about Brad.
00:09:45Presumably he lived here with you.
00:09:46Oh, 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?
00:09:58I 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.
00:10:12It's all right. I'm here.
00:10:14When did you get back to Godly Manor?
00:10:17I didn't. My friends and I crashed at Cordelia's flat.
00:10:20I can't believe this.
00:10:22I'm sorry, I just have a few more questions.
00:10:27When did you last see Brad?
00:10:29Yesterday evening. Before 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.
00:10:49Well, my father, Sir Percival Bruce, sired Noah out of wedlock.
00:10:54Noah?
00:10:55Noah Connoboy.
00:10:56Now, I had no idea he existed until the family solicitor told me at my father's funeral.
00:11:02Was this recently?
00:11:04About six weeks ago.
00:11:06So I asked Brad to search for him. He's very good at the internet.
00:11:11Well, was.
00:11:13So, Noah turned up with the clock?
00:11:16Yes, he said that he'd made it especially for the occasion.
00:11:18Shall I save you some time?
00:11:20The 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.
00:11:29So, off you trot and go and arrest Noah.
00:11:32He'll be outside, contaminating our grounds.
00:11:35What my darling wife means is that Noah's arrived with his troop.
00:11:38They put on oldy-worldy woodworking festivals. Very 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.
00:11:54Did Brad work in the village?
00:11:57He could work anywhere. He was in Bitcoin.
00:12:00He was doing really well. Always on his phone, checking the markets.
00:12:03So he didn't have an argument with someone in Godly Buzzards, hey?
00:12:06Oh, Brad, never. He was really popular. My sister can vouch for that.
00:12:11He was lovely. Never seen Frankie as happy.
00:12:18You know, I nearly came to the flower festival last year.
00:12:22Would have been a waste of time. It was rained off.
00:12:25Worst thunderstorm in decades. Destroyed all the flower beds.
00:12:28It was an absolute disaster.
00:12:30Well, hopefully it'll be different this year.
00:12:31No chance. The village have boycotted it.
00:12:35Our magnanimous father decided to charge double this year.
00:12:38Which made a lot of people very angry.
00:12:40We're looking for a Noah Connor boy.
00:12:41That will be me.
00:12:42I saw you earlier. But you were, um, a bit taller.
00:12:43Oh, yeah.
00:12:44Oh, yeah.
00:12:45Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:12:46Sorry, I'm Nessie.
00:12:47Do you want to go to your seat?
00:13:01We're looking for a Noah Connor boy.
00:13:03That will be me.
00:13:05I saw you earlier, but you were a bit taller.
00:13:09Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:13:15Sorry, I'm Nessie. Nessie Copeland.
00:13:18What's happening up at the house?
00:13:20I'm afraid we have reason to believe that Brad Furbank was murdered last night.
00:13:25Murdered? Are you serious?
00:13:28That's awful.
00:13:30And what can you tell us about the cooking clock?
00:13:34It tells the time. What else is there to say?
00:13:37Did you build it yourself? I craft everything myself.
00:13:40Sorry, why are you asking about a cooking 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...
00:13:53I'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.
00:14:01There was a woman taking photos. That'll prove it.
00:14:07I think she was called Kimony. Runs the flower shop in the village.
00:14:10This has nothing to do with Noah.
00:14:12Did either of you notice anything off at the engagement party?
00:14:18I wasn't there. I was here with the others setting up. There's a lot to do.
00:14:22Alan wants me to put on a festival. He 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 up sticks.
00:14:34But 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.
00:14:44Well, sir, Noah could have been trying to kill Sir Alan because there's obviously something to gain.
00:14:53I can see it now. He sneaks back up to the house, rigs the clock, and then potentially inherits the lot.
00:14:57But how would he know Sir Alan was going to get so close to it and at the exact time?
00:15:04Fleur.
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, and the beak is gold plate.
00:15:18May look a million dollars, but it's worth less than a real cuckoo.
00:15:25Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak is called a dibbler.
00:15:28And what's a dibbler when it's home?
00:15:30If you'd bothered looking after your houseplants, Winter, you would know that a dibbler is a tool that gardeners use.
00:15:37And now murderers, apparently.
00:15:42Sorry, 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 in 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?
00:16:17Last night, just before I locked up.
00:16:21Did you notice anything unusual at the engagement party?
00:16:24Not really, no.
00:16:26Not unless you count that moment with Kimony.
00:16:29Kimony?
00:16:30Kimony Bullet.
00:16:32Brad told her not to do the flowers for the wedding, and 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 a 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.
00:17:23Well, there must have been a sale on at the mirror shop.
00:17:27We'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.
00:17:48Brad 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.
00:18:01Will you be done soon?
00:18:07I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mrs. Solanke.
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:19We're done.
00:18:21For now.
00:18:22I've never seen her.
00:18:28All right.
00:18:30All right.
00:18:30We're here.
00:18:35All right.
00:18:36All right.
00:18:39What are you doing here?
00:18:42All right.
00:18:42Oh, my God.
00:19:12What are you doing, Kimini? It's me.
00:19:18Being you doesn't exonerate you, Sylvia.
00:19:20Brad's just been murdered, for goodness sake. Surely you can be a bit lenient. I'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. It's a whole lot more than that. And you know it.
00:19:35Is this you for the rest of your life now? Punishing drivers day and night?
00:19:42I'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 for 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, I'll need you to email that to me.
00:20:46Of course.
00:20:51Usually 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.
00:21:00Myrtle and I have been friends for decades.
00:21:05I could hardly let it down on Frankie's big day.
00:21:15Have 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.
00:21:51This 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.
00:22:17Why did it have to be Brad that got killed
00:22:22and not one of you?
00:22:23Come on.
00:22:25Hello.
00:22:26Oh.
00:22:26Hello again.
00:22:27How can I help?
00:22:28I do flowers for all occasions.
00:22:30A good thing, too.
00:22:30Now we've got a funeral coming up.
00:22:32Oh, God, I didn't think.
00:22:40Don't worry, It's easy.
00:22:58I'm not here about flowers.
00:23:01A little birdie told me you're the head of the village council.
00:23:05Someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:23:07Perfect.
00:23:07because I'd need to know about the grounds at Godly Manor.
00:23:11Only we were due to put on a festival of wood
00:23:13at Badger's Drift a few weeks back,
00:23:15but the village voted against it,
00:23:17even 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.
00:23:28You're putting on a festival at the manor?
00:23:31He said he 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,
00:23:40which it always does.
00:23:42Noah?
00:23:43Sweetheart.
00:23:45Can 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.
00:24:04I'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.
00:24:20You know why you're really here.
00:24:24He's using you.
00:24:26His flower festival isn't happening,
00:24:28and he needed something to take its place.
00:24:29I wasn't born yesterday, Des.
00:24:32You're happy to be used?
00:24:34Credit me with some brains.
00:24:36I want something out of this as well.
00:24:37Look around.
00:24:38I'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.
00:24:58What?
00:24:59Why would you say that?
00:25:01After this weekend, we are leaving.
00:25:03We are never coming back.
00:25:05I mean it, Noah.
00:25:22Call me back when you get this.
00:25:24I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:30Kimmerley, I just got your message.
00:25:38Oh, my God.
00:25:40Are you sure it's her?
00:25:43I can't.
00:25:44I just can't.
00:25:46Not while there's breath in my body.
00:25:54You're not working today.
00:25:55Ah, blame Winter for running late.
00:25:58Did you know he got dumped last year
00:25:59because he planted some flowers the wrong way?
00:26:01It'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,
00:26:11it looks a bit lopsided.
00:26:13Very funny.
00:26:16Oh, I see where you've been going wrong.
00:26:18Here, look.
00:26:19You've had this upside down.
00:26:20You tear that and you're in big trouble.
00:26:21Oh, Penny, Penny, oh, Penny!
00:26:27Ow!
00:26:29It's all right.
00:26:30I can dry it off.
00:26:32Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:26:36Did I mention carpenters in my jeans?
00:26:38I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:26:39Tell 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.
00:27:19The truth is, he barely added 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.
00:27:47Now, 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?
00:27:56Yes.
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.
00:28:03That explains the speed gun
00:28:04and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:28:07Intriguingly, the hit-and-run happened on the same day
00:28:09that the flower festival was rained off.
00:28:11In 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?
00:28:58A book on woodwork.
00:29:04My sweetheart, come along
00:29:07Don't you hear the fond song
00:29:09The sweet note of the nightingale flow
00:29:13Don't you hear the fond tale
00:29:16Of the sweet nightingale
00:29:19As she sings in those valleys below
00:29:22As she sings in those valleys below
00:29:29Oh, sorry.
00:29:34We 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
00:29:57Were 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
00:30:46Please?
00:30:49Let's see if you've got a head for heights
00:30:54Wow
00:31:08You're right
00:31:10You 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
00:31:41Nearly shot my bloody ear off, actually
00:31:44Ah, have you found the culprit?
00:31:45The 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?
00:32:26And that makes him a thief?
00:32:28Well, there's a good chance that he was casing the house
00:32:30With 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?
00:33:17It 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
00:33:40You 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 you 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
00:34:08I'm worthy of their love
00:34:09And
00:34:10Now 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
00:34:21Was killed in the hit and run?
00:34:22What'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
00:34:31And 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
00:35:07When the opposite is true?
00:35:10Can you imagine what that would be like
00:35:12For your daughter?
00:35:15I can't see myself being anything other than
00:35:17In awe of her
00:35:19That's because
00:35:22You didn't bring her into this world
00:35:25For all the wrong reasons
00:35:26I had a brother
00:35:29Chief 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
00:35:40Shortly afterwards
00:35:41But solely
00:35:43In the hope that my parents
00:35:45Could 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?
00:36:27Mattel?
00:36:29You're scaring me
00:36:31Apparently my parents were out at an afternoon due
00:36:37With 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
00:37:09That 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 so sorry
00:37:24I'm so sorry
00:37:24I'm so sorry
00:37:26I don't know
00:37:28I said
00:37:28I'd be honest
00:37:29I couldn't
00:37:30I said
00:37:31You don't like
00:37:32陣 apostle
00:37:39Oh my god
00:37:41I'm so sorry
00:37:43ilar
00:37:44ORCHESTRA PLAYS
00:38:14The best I could do, sir. Is it for Mrs. B?
00:38:28Thank you, Winter. Yes, Sarah's struggling a bit with the arbour.
00:38:33She even managed to injure her thumb.
00:38:36Well, I'm sure she'd be glad of this.
00:38:38So, did 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 withheld numbers.
00:39:00A 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?
00:39:07I 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.
00:39:17What do you think?
00:39:18I think we can't be able to read her.
00:39:19I think we can't see her.
00:39:19We can't be able to read her.
00:39:20I think we can't see her.
00:39:20Oh, they're the biggest one.
00:39:22We're the biggest one.
00:39:23I think she's very worried about it.
00:39:25I think it's not her.
00:39:26Oh, what do you think?
00:39:27Who the hell are you?
00:39:48What are you doing in here?
00:39:51You 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.
00:40:08And 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 is if Myrtle and everyone else knows you 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.
00:40:38Everything comes home to roost eventually.
00:40:41That's enough! I'm not having this!
00:40:42Oh no!
00:40:43No!
00:40:44Oh, my God.
00:41:14You'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.
00:41:51Not when it comes so naturally to you.
00:41:55I'm about to get any splinters.
00:42:05Winter.
00:42:06Impeccable timing.
00:42:07Oh, you found Nessie.
00:42:09What did she say?
00:42:14I'll be right there.
00:42:16A little bird tells me, not a cookin' 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?
00:43:03I'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.
00:43:12Well, let's start with Noah.
00:43:15Before you lope off, she was carrying this.
00:43:19But I wouldn't get too excited.
00:43:21I don't think it'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.
00:43:44How 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.
00:44:09She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever set eyes on.
00:44:13We started chatting and realized we'd both lived in Godly Buzzard 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 Aggy?
00:44:30Aggy?
00:44:31No.
00:44:33She was always Nessie to me.
00:44:35Well, she never mentioned that she used to babysit for the Bruises.
00:44:37She 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. Connerboy?
00:45:16Don't even go there.
00:45:19Ness was the love of my life.
00:45:24Mr. Connerboy.
00:45:25I 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.
00:45:44We believe that a tool from your troop
00:45:46was used in the attack on Nessie.
00:45:48A, um, a billhook.
00:45:52Is there one missing?
00:45:53I'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.
00:46:23Saj, what are you doing?
00:46:31Waiting 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,
00:46:42and 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.
00:47:00You sure you didn't know?
00:47:02You 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,
00:47:13always bigging him up.
00:47:14Well, says he's number one fan.
00:47:16That wasn't me.
00:47:17No way.
00:47:18You've fawned all over him.
00:47:19In fact, you changed personality
00:47:21whenever he was around.
00:47:22Aye, well,
00:47:23maybe it's a good thing
00:47:24he's not around anymore, eh?
00:47:30Look at this.
00:47:31This is crazy.
00:47:33None of this matters now.
00:47:34He's gone.
00:47:37I'm sorry.
00:47:38I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:47:42Same.
00:47:44Normal service has resumed.
00:47:50Let'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.
00:48:04What was Nessie doing out here on her own?
00:48:06Well, maybe she was meeting someone.
00:48:08What, with a teddy bear?
00:48:09Hmm.
00:48:10I'll get tech to check out
00:48:12her phone calls and texts.
00:48:14Also, have them chase up
00:48:16the anonymous tip
00:48:17about
00:48:18Aggie Marlow
00:48:20being back in the village.
00:48:21She was killed
00:48:21almost immediately afterwards,
00:48:23so whoever called us
00:48:24was
00:48:24clearly worried.
00:48:26You think one of the bruises
00:48:27found out she was back?
00:48:28I'll go and see.
00:48:33This is the last place
00:48:35I saw Francis alive.
00:48:36I gave him a cuddle
00:48:37before Alan and I
00:48:38took Sir Percival
00:48:39to a party.
00:48:43I'll never forgive myself
00:48:44for leaving him.
00:48:46And when you returned home?
00:48:48I stayed longer than planned.
00:48:50It was Kimini's fault.
00:48:51She can chat for England.
00:48:53Alan had wandered off
00:48:54ages before.
00:48:56When I got back,
00:48:57there was no sign of Aggie
00:48:59anywhere.
00:48:59And then I found Francis
00:49:02lying right there,
00:49:05not moving.
00:49:11Lady Myrtle,
00:49:12did you know
00:49:13that, um,
00:49:14Aggie Marlow
00:49:15was living on your grounds
00:49:16with Noah?
00:49:18Of course I didn't.
00:49:19You never met
00:49:20or saw her?
00:49:21I just said
00:49:22I didn't know she was back.
00:49:23And trust me,
00:49:24if I had,
00:49:25Aggie would have been
00:49:26dead a lot sooner.
00:49:27I want that woman's body
00:49:30off our land.
00:49:32You know what she did
00:49:32to Myrtle and I?
00:49:35Where were you last night?
00:49:37Are you listening to me,
00:49:38Barnaby?
00:49:40It's Detective
00:49:41Chief Inspector
00:49:42Barnaby.
00:49:43I was in my bed
00:49:44getting my beauty sleep
00:49:45in preparation
00:49:46for the grand opening,
00:49:47which actually
00:49:47won't be remotely grand now,
00:49:49thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:49:51Were you aware
00:49:52that she was part
00:49:53of Noah's bar?
00:49:54What on earth
00:49:55are you talking about?
00:49:56It turns out
00:49:56she was Noah's partner,
00:49:57had been for years.
00:49:58My God,
00:49:59you couldn't make it up.
00:50:00Brad didn't happen
00:50:01to find that out
00:50:02when he was searching
00:50:03for Noah.
00:50:03Would I have invited him
00:50:04here if you had?
00:50:05If you wanted revenge
00:50:06for Francis,
00:50:07then yes,
00:50:07that's exactly
00:50:08what you would have done.
00:50:10Look,
00:50:10I invited Noah here
00:50:12simply to raise
00:50:12some cash.
00:50:14My father didn't
00:50:15exactly leave
00:50:15a pot of gold
00:50:16in his will
00:50:17and these stately homes
00:50:18cost a fortune
00:50:19to maintain.
00:50:20On the outside,
00:50:21it looks like
00:50:21we've won the lottery.
00:50:22On the inside,
00:50:22we can barely afford
00:50:23a ticket.
00:50:24Well, there's still
00:50:24the house and grounds,
00:50:25though.
00:50:26And surely you knew
00:50:27that finding Noah
00:50:28could result in you
00:50:29having to hand over
00:50:30half of everything
00:50:31you'd inherited.
00:50:32You've met him?
00:50:33He's a hippie.
00:50:35They don't belong
00:50:35in houses like this.
00:50:36Anyway,
00:50:36he'll drift away soon enough.
00:50:38Did Brad know
00:50:40you were struggling
00:50:40financially?
00:50:42I admit,
00:50:43I was a little too keen
00:50:44to get Noah here
00:50:45and someone like Brad
00:50:46might have noted that.
00:50:48Someone like Brad?
00:50:50He was a parasite.
00:50:51I didn't realise at first,
00:50:52but he was a tapeworm
00:50:54eating his way
00:50:55into our family.
00:51:01Sir?
00:51:04I called Saj Solanki
00:51:05and he said
00:51:06that he remembers
00:51:07seeing Noah
00:51:07and the Axeman
00:51:08in the pub.
00:51:09It seems the Bruce's
00:51:11both had a strong motive
00:51:12for killing Nessie
00:51:14and Sir Alan
00:51:14had an inkling
00:51:15that Brad
00:51:16wasn't the person
00:51:17he claimed to be.
00:51:19Talking of Brad,
00:51:20we know that
00:51:21he was desperate
00:51:21for money
00:51:22to keep up his lies
00:51:23and lifestyle,
00:51:25so all it would take
00:51:26is for his killer
00:51:27to know that as well.
00:51:28What about the person
00:51:30with a diamond earring
00:51:32belongs to?
00:51:33It could be some kind
00:51:33of love rat thing.
00:51:35Elegantly put, Winter?
00:51:36Or Frankie found out
00:51:37that Brad was cheating on her
00:51:38and killed him
00:51:38in a fit of jealousy.
00:51:39I'm sure that's possible
00:51:40in your love rat world.
00:51:42She was also the only member
00:51:43of the Bruce family
00:51:43that we know for certain
00:51:45met Nessie.
00:51:45Ah, and you were doing
00:51:46so well, Winter.
00:51:48But Frankie hadn't been born
00:51:49when Nessie was babysitting
00:51:51for the Bruce's.
00:51:52It's doubtful
00:51:53she'd know her on side.
00:51:55Here's a question for you.
00:51:56How does a penniless man
00:51:58rent a room in a pub
00:51:59for an entire year?
00:52:13Look, Kemeny won't report
00:52:16you for speeding.
00:52:17There are mitigating circumstances
00:52:18just like you told her.
00:52:20You know what she's like.
00:52:21She takes her misery out
00:52:22on anyone she can find.
00:52:24I can't have points
00:52:25on 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
00:52:33takes off,
00:52:33this place will be packed.
00:52:34It's not the money.
00:52:36I happen to love that job.
00:52:38Mr. Solanke.
00:52:40A word, if you don't mind.
00:52:43I thought you were all done here.
00:52:45How did Brad pay
00:52:46for 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,
00:52:54the thing is,
00:52:56hindsight's a great thing, right?
00:52:58But I kind of let Brad
00:53:01run up a tab.
00:53:02For an entire year?
00:53:04Oh, he was a nice guy.
00:53:05I totally trusted him.
00:53:07Tell him, Sylvia.
00:53:08You were always urging
00:53:09Frankie to marry Emma.
00:53:11You'll need on that.
00:53:12Well, we have you.
00:53:14We found this
00:53:16in Brad's room.
00:53:17Have you seen that before?
00:53:19No, sorry.
00:53:21Did Brad ever have anyone
00:53:22other than Frankie
00:53:23back to his room?
00:53:23Not that I ever saw.
00:53:25Fleur?
00:53:27Believe it or not,
00:53:28we're at the pub right now.
00:53:34We are going to need access
00:53:35to Brad's room again.
00:53:39He'll be fine.
00:53:40Don't worry.
00:53:56Noah,
00:53:57I'm so sorry.
00:53:59I just heard about Aggie.
00:54:01Aggie.
00:54:03I meant Nessie.
00:54:05You must be devastated.
00:54:08That answers everything.
00:54:11She called herself Nessie,
00:54:12yet you just called her Aggie.
00:54:17I know you're big pals with Myrtle,
00:54:19my charming sister-in-law.
00:54:21Did you do the family a favor
00:54:23and tell them who Nessie really was?
00:54:25I think you should leave.
00:54:27I think
00:54:27I should go to the police,
00:54:30don'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
00:54:39you clearly recognized her
00:54:40and they'll realize
00:54:42you're the only one
00:54:43who knew who she was.
00:54:44Why are you here?
00:54:49What do you want from me?
00:54:50That's better.
00:54:52I know I got permission
00:54:53to put on my festival,
00:54:54but what if I wanted
00:54:56to set up home there
00:54:57permanently
00:54:58with 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.
00:55:05I already hate Sir Alan.
00:55:07I doubt they'd be too fond of you
00:55:08for riding to his rescue.
00:55:09We're talking about my home.
00:55:11A home I've been denied
00:55:13for far too long,
00:55:14so make it happen.
00:55:17What if I can't?
00:55:20This is my birthright
00:55:21and I'm not going to let anyone
00:55:24stand in the way of that.
00:55:26What are you doing?
00:55:42What's that for?
00:55:43Care to explain,
00:55:44Mr. Slunke?
00:55:46No idea.
00:55:48I was already there
00:55:49when I started running the police.
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
00:55:56in that place as well.
00:55:58Clearly, the idea took off.
00:56:00When I first encountered
00:56:01this sort of thing,
00:56:02my boss told me to touch
00:56:03the mirrors
00:56:03with my fingernail
00:56:05and my fingernail
00:56:06touched its reflection.
00:56:08What else would it touch?
00:56:10Index finger, please, Winter.
00:56:14I promise not to buy it.
00:56:17If it were a normal mirror,
00:56:19your fingernail
00:56:20and its reflection
00:56:21would never meet.
00:56:22There'll always be a gap,
00:56:24like so.
00:56:25But with a two-way mirror.
00:56:28Finger.
00:56:29That's his finger.
00:56:31And they're in every room,
00:56:33aren't they, Mr. Slunke?
00:56:34Mr. Slunke?
00:56:44This for security purposes.
00:56:47Try again, Mr. Slunke.
00:56:51Look,
00:56:52a lot of people
00:56:53book into hotels
00:56:54and not just to sleep.
00:56:56They meet up with lovers.
00:56:57Some of them do
00:56:58secret deals.
00:56:59I've heard them
00:57:00on the phone
00:57:01lying about their whereabouts.
00:57:02The list goes on.
00:57:04Half the people
00:57:04that come in here
00:57:05are up to no good.
00:57:06So you thought
00:57:07you'd make some money
00:57:08out of it.
00:57:10When did Brad find out
00:57:11you were doing this?
00:57:13First night he stayed.
00:57:14He accidentally knocked
00:57:15over the mirror
00:57:16onto the floor
00:57:17and he saw the camera
00:57:17behind it.
00:57:18But he didn't report you?
00:57:20He told me
00:57:20to lose the cameras
00:57:22in his room
00:57:22but keep the rest
00:57:23in the other rooms.
00:57:24He wanted in on it.
00:57:26In fact,
00:57:26he took over.
00:57:27Made me blackmail
00:57:28everyone that I could.
00:57:30And for the last year
00:57:31he's lived here rent-free
00:57:32in exchange for his silence.
00:57:34He's bled me dry
00:57:35in every way
00:57:36you can imagine.
00:57:37Including forcing you
00:57:39to buy Frankie's
00:57:40engagement ring.
00:57:41Well,
00:57:42how do you know that?
00:57:43We didn't until now.
00:57:45We'll need to look
00:57:46into Mr. Slunke's finances.
00:57:48Am I going to prison
00:57:50for this?
00:57:51At the moment
00:57:52I'm more interested
00:57:53in who Brad was seeing
00:57:54behind Frankie's back.
00:57:56Well,
00:57:57you wasn't seeing anyone.
00:57:58You're in enough trouble
00:57:58as it is,
00:57:59Mr. Slunke.
00:58:01I couldn't see
00:58:02anything before
00:58:03because then
00:58:04you'd come back
00:58:04and ask for proof
00:58:05and then you'd...
00:58:06Find out what
00:58:07you've been doing.
00:58:09She used to come
00:58:10in the back way.
00:58:11Obviously didn't know
00:58:12I had a hidden camera
00:58:13outside.
00:58:14But it was...
00:58:15Sylvia Bruce.
00:58:16Sylvia?
00:58:17No.
00:58:18It was our mom.
00:58:19I told him.
00:58:30Look at these idiots, sir.
00:58:44She can't get me a ticket.
00:58:45This is official
00:58:48police business.
00:58:49So's this.
00:58:50Just so you know,
00:58:51you can pass on
00:58:51my information
00:58:52but it'll be up
00:58:52to the police
00:58:53if they decide
00:58:53to prosecute or not.
00:58:54And, well,
00:58:55I am the police.
00:58:58Well,
00:58:58we'll find out
00:58:59on Monday
00:59:00when I send in
00:59:01my data
00:59:01whether that helps
00:59:02or not.
00:59:03when will you
00:59:08ever learn,
00:59:09Cordelia.
00:59:09It's not
00:59:1030 miles an hour
00:59:11through the village.
00:59:13And don't think
00:59:14you can get away
00:59:14with this at night
00:59:15either.
00:59:16I'm on guard
00:59:1624-7.
00:59:17Sorry,
00:59:18Kimmy.
00:59:20I'll go
00:59:20halves on the fine
00:59:21hockey.
00:59:24Someone needs to
00:59:24take that speed gun
00:59:25off her.
00:59:26Drive on,
00:59:27Winter.
00:59:28Slowly.
00:59:39Would you like
00:59:39to know
00:59:40where we found
00:59:41this?
00:59:45You should know
00:59:46that Brad
00:59:47never loved Frankie.
00:59:49I mean,
00:59:49how could he?
00:59:50She's quite unlovable.
00:59:51Alan and I
00:59:52tried for years.
00:59:54When did you
00:59:55and Brad
00:59:56start seeing each other?
00:59:57Months ago.
00:59:59I rather felt
00:59:59for him,
01:00:00all that pretending
01:00:01he had to do.
01:00:02So the affair
01:00:03was still going on
01:00:03even at the
01:00:04engagement party.
01:00:05Did Sir Alan know?
01:00:06Doesn't matter
01:00:07if he did
01:00:07or he didn't.
01:00:08He disappeared
01:00:09the night Francis
01:00:10died.
01:00:11There's more
01:00:12life in his
01:00:12portrait.
01:00:14When did you
01:00:14last see Brad?
01:00:16He was lying
01:00:16dead in our
01:00:17hallway.
01:00:18Lady Myrtle?
01:00:19At the
01:00:20engagement party.
01:00:21You were never
01:00:22worried that
01:00:22Sarge would see
01:00:23you at the pub
01:00:23and tell Frankie?
01:00:24I didn't go
01:00:25there often
01:00:25and Brad
01:00:26seemed to have
01:00:27some hold
01:00:28over Sarge.
01:00:29He said he
01:00:30wouldn't say
01:00:30a word if he
01:00:31knew what was
01:00:31good for him.
01:00:32Sadly for you
01:00:33he can say
01:00:33whatever he
01:00:34wants now.
01:00:35What are you
01:00:36talking about?
01:00:36Sarge has
01:00:37CCTV footage
01:00:38of you two
01:00:39arguing outside
01:00:39his pub
01:00:40the day before
01:00:41Brad died.
01:00:42What was the
01:00:42argument about?
01:00:44He'd found out
01:00:45that Alan and I
01:00:46aren't exactly
01:00:47wealthy.
01:00:47He was furious.
01:00:48He said I'd
01:00:49been leading him
01:00:50on.
01:00:50Did he break up
01:00:51with you?
01:00:51He threatened to.
01:00:52How did you
01:00:53feel about that?
01:00:54How do you
01:00:54think?
01:00:55Did you get
01:00:56the dibbler
01:00:57from Kim and
01:00:57his shop?
01:00:58All in to
01:00:58see her and
01:00:59slip one
01:00:59into your
01:01:00pocket?
01:01:00I wouldn't
01:01:01know a dibbler
01:01:02from a punch
01:01:02on the nose.
01:01:03And then you
01:01:04rigged the
01:01:04clock?
01:01:04Oh this
01:01:04is ridiculous.
01:01:05Murder
01:01:06very often
01:01:06is Lady
01:01:07Myrtle.
01:01:11You're not
01:01:11going to bring
01:01:12Lady Myrtle
01:01:12in sir?
01:01:13Sir Alan
01:01:13has already
01:01:14given her
01:01:14an alibi
01:01:14for the
01:01:15night Brad
01:01:15was killed.
01:01:16We need
01:01:16something concrete.
01:01:17Yes
01:01:19Winter.
01:01:21Oh okay
01:01:21that was
01:01:22quick.
01:01:23Thanks.
01:01:24Sir
01:01:24Tech
01:01:25have
01:01:26managed
01:01:26to
01:01:26trace
01:01:26the
01:01:26anonymous
01:01:27call
01:01:27regarding
01:01:27Aggie Marlow.
01:01:29It was from
01:01:30Kimony Bullet.
01:01:31Oh of course
01:01:32it was.
01:01:33We already
01:01:34know she
01:01:34likes to
01:01:35share her
01:01:35findings with
01:01:36the police.
01:01:37Hop over
01:01:37to her
01:01:38shop and
01:01:38find out
01:01:38if she
01:01:39told anyone
01:01:39else.
01:01:41She was
01:01:41obviously
01:01:41worried about
01:01:42what might
01:01:42happen.
01:01:47Hello?
01:02:11You could have
01:02:12picked somewhere
01:02:12more accessible.
01:02:14I never
01:02:14liked that
01:02:15hill.
01:02:15There you
01:02:42are.
01:02:43Let me
01:02:43just catch
01:02:44my breath.
01:02:45Dad!
01:03:15How's your thumb?
01:03:31Throbbing.
01:03:35Do 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.
01:04:06Winter.
01:04:13What's that around her mouth?
01:04:21Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue, super strong.
01:04:24I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:04:27It looks like someone stuck her to the chair, and then, if I'm right, they force-fed her
01:04:33with whatever was left in the glue gun.
01:04:36That's also covered in glue.
01:04:38Whoever it was, tried to make it cosy and inviting, if only.
01:04:44Any idea where the chairs came from?
01:04:46Judging from the finish, I'd say a craftsman, I bet.
01:04:48Would you like a ticket?
01:05:05Would you like a ticket?
01:05:05I'm afraid Kim and E. 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 Kim and E. my whole life.
01:05:54Excuse me.
01:05:55Excuse me.
01:06:04Wood is so much more than we think it is.
01:06:16It has sheltered us, defended us, given up its body to us.
01:06:22Yes, she 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.
01:06:36If 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.
01:06:55I was born here.
01:06:57Nessie was born here.
01:06:59I belong here.
01:07:13Hi, sir.
01:07:14Yeah, I'm in Kim and E.'s shop.
01:07:15Someone's been in here and...
01:07:18Looks like they've smashed up our laptop.
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:22Is there anyone Kim and E. 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 Kim and E. decided to contact us?
01:07:48You met her.
01:07:49She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:07:51Talking 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?
01:08:02No, 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 Kim and E.'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.
01:08:19She couldn't have run anyone over, let alone Kim and his husband.
01:08:27I don't suppose I could have Francis's teddy.
01:08:30Only Kim and E. bought that for him.
01:08:32It feels so wrong that Aggie took it.
01:08:34How 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.
01:08:46Charles, 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.
01:09:13How did you know about Aggie Marlowe taking Francis's teddy bear?
01:09:19You told your wife, remember?
01:09:22Well, 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.
01:10:06I know that you and your wife went to a party with your father.
01:10:11She said that she came back alone,
01:10:13which implies that either you were still at the party,
01:10:16or you'd already left.
01:10:18I stayed till the bitter end.
01:10:20Then you would have seen both Lady Myrtle and Kimmy,
01:10:23because they stayed late as well.
01:10:24You'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
01:10:51when you have a romantic thought,
01:10:53and then that thought becomes a possibility,
01:10:55and then before you know where you are,
01:10:56it'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,
01:11:05and 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,
01:11:39and when I refused, she slapped me,
01:11:41and 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,
01:11:58and that I would see her locked up for life.
01:12:01So 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.
01:12:24I didn't even try to get that damn teddy back.
01:12:28I just stood there, frozen,
01:12:32in this pathetic excuse
01:12:34that I call my life.
01:12:44Winter.
01:12:45Sir, I looked into Saj's financials, like you said,
01:12:58and the odd thing was that Sylvia
01:12:59paid for Brad's room the 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
01:13:08found a smudge of blue ink on Kimini'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
01:13:17that 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.
01:13:23You should get a bonus
01:13:24for all the things you've taught me.
01:13:27Didn't tech have any luck with Kimini's laptop?
01:13:29They managed to retrieve most of the data,
01:13:31but it was just the speeding reports
01:13:32that she'd been filing.
01:13:34And I see.
01:13:38I should go and talk to her before she heads off.
01:13:44Sylvia, I wanted to ask,
01:13:49why did you pay for Brad's room
01:13:50the night that the flower festival
01:13:52was rained off?
01:13:53You said that you hadn't met him that day.
01:13:57Sylvia!
01:13:59Sylvia!
01:14:00Sylvia!
01:14:00You took down, Winter.
01:14:17Oh, fuck!
01:14:22Cock around us, man.
01:14:23See if there's somewhere to put us up ahead.
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.
01:14:33You can't go and live
01:14:34with 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!
01:14:49Frankie!
01:14:55She's heading for the gate, sir.
01:14:58She's going to go straight through them, sir.
01:15:03Frankie!
01:15:16Sylvia!
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.
01:15:23I killed him.
01:15:31What the hell is going on?
01:15:32He's 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.
01:15:48I 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, Lawrence.
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.
01:16:13I 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?
01:17:00As I learned at great cost last year,
01:17:03there 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.
01:17:11Well, on it, no doubt.
01:17:12We'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.
01:17:51You 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, and the moment Cordelia received her speeding notice,
01:18:08she would have questioned it.
01:18:10You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:18:12Is 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 Lauren's.
01:18:23She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:18:25We 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.
01:18:36And yes, 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.
01:18:56Well, when you put it like that.
01:18:58Frankie.
01:18:59It was the look on his face that did it.
01:19:08It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:19:12I 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.
01:19:27He wanted it all for himself.
01:19:31I hoped I was wrong.
01:19:33But sometimes you just know.
01:19:35It was horrible to watch.
01:19:37How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:19:58I didn't matter what time it was.
01:20:00Frankie 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.
01:20:17Are 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.
01:20:26I 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.
01:20:35And there she was.
01:20:36Carrying Francis' teddy.
01:20:38So you took revenge for your brother.
01:20:41How could I not?
01:20:41She's responsible for this nightmare I call my life.
01:20:47Only she wasn't.
01:20:49What?
01:20:50I 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.
01:21:14Do 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.
01:21:35What's a girl to do?
01:21:38Though I rather hoped.
01:21:40I 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.
01:21:54I don't understand you, Frankie.
01:22:00How about you 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 was just a simple, little thing.
01:22:10Like loving a child.
01:22:12But it was beyond both of you.
01:22:15I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:22:23I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:22:24I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:22:26I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:22:28That's it.
01:22:46Almost there.
01:22:49He's doing a grand job.
01:22:51He is.
01:22:52And I have to say, I am deeply impressed.
01:22:56Do 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.
01:23:04Well, the Barnabys are going up in the world.
01:23:09I'd have had that up an hour ago.
01:23:10You'd be moaning about having a strained bat 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.
01:23:25One, two, one, two, one.
