00:00:01I'll show him.
00:00:03Oh, an absolute disgrace.
00:00:12See how he likes it when no one turns off?
00:00:16This will teach him.
00:00:23Hi.
00:00:24They've been at it all morning. It's killing my business.
00:00:26That's what I've seen. They're all over the village.
00:00:30They're all over the village.
00:00:37Blue or grey?
00:00:39I prefer the grey.
00:00:41Hmm. Blue it is, then.
00:00:55Brad!
00:00:56Oh, good, 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.
00:01:08What's with your parents?
00:01:09They can't even stretch to real champagne.
00:01:11Well, this is a step up for them.
00:01:13I was expecting tap water.
00:01:15I don't know what you're smiling about.
00:01:16The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:17Fear not, my dear. Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:22What's that mean?
00:01:23Mmm.
00:01:24Oh, what have you done now?
00:01:25There's nothing else.
00:01:26No, unfortunately not.
00:01:27No, unfortunately not.
00:01:28Oh, they're beautiful.
00:01:29Thank you, Kim and E.
00:01:30I was hoping you might hire me to do the flowers on your big day.
00:01:40Oh, I...
00:01:41Yeah, we're not really making any clear-cut decisions yet.
00:01:42It's good to see you.
00:01:43Are you all right?
00:01:44I think I'm getting a cold.
00:01:45Might be over the moon for Frankie.
00:01:46This is me being over the moon.
00:01:47Oh, you won't.
00:01:48Oh, we won't.
00:01:49Why?
00:01:50I think I've been over the moon.
00:01:51I'm up.
00:01:52You won't.
00:01:53Yeah, we can't.
00:01:54I'm up.
00:01:55You're crying.
00:01:56Oh, you're late.
00:01:57Oh, you're not down.
00:01:58This is me.
00:01:59Oh, that's lovely.
00:02:00Thank you, Kim and E.
00:02:01I was hoping that you might hire me to do the flowers on your big day.
00:02:02Oh, I...
00:02:04You're not really making any clear-cut decisions yet.
00:02:07It's good to see you.
00:02:08You're all right.
00:02:09I think I'm getting a cold.
00:02:10the moon for Frankie. This is me being over the moon. Who the hell is that? It's amazing isn't it?
00:02:24My mum used to tell me about this place. Why have you stopped? Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:32Yes you've got to come and say hello. I can't do this on my own. You're the one who couldn't wait
00:02:36to come here, not me. Come on guys.
00:02:58Nah, 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
00:03:16going on? Myrtle, this is my half-brother Noah and suffice to say until recently neither of us knew
00:03:22the other existed. Hi. Well, it's great to meet you all. I didn't want to turn up empty-handed.
00:03:34Time starts now, as they say.
00:03:49Come on everyone, let's get a photo of you all by the clock. Well, it's a big moment. Old family,
00:04:13new family, family of the future. I'm not family. Just smile and say cheese.
00:04:26Love. Hang on. We need the happy couple in the middle.
00:04:31Come on. Am I going to get my share? You have your reward for marrying my daughter.
00:04:36That's not what we agreed, Alan. It's so, Alan, to you.
00:04:41Oh, very nice.
00:04:44That's it. Well done everyone.
00:05:06What?
00:05:11How are you?
00:05:12Yes.
00:05:13I'm going to pull out.
00:05:18She says she says she's got a secret.
00:05:21I'll kill you all.
00:05:21I'll kill you.
00:05:27What's my worst?
00:05:30That's all.
00:05:31I can't make that hungry.
00:05:32I can't make it.
00:05:34Oh, my God.
00:06:04Oh, my God.
00:06:34I 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.
00:06:48And as a carpenter, you make a brilliant detective.
00:06:51Oh, Winter.
00:06:56Sir.
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 didn't know you were into horticulture, Winter.
00:07:34No, I'm not, but this girl I was seeing was.
00:07:36And when you say you almost came here...
00:07:38Well, when she took one look at my houseplants,
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.
00:07:45Small 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?
00:08:14Sir.
00:08:17Where did you get to last night?
00:08:26I woke up when you weren't there.
00:08:27I, uh, I had a nightmare.
00:08:29I took a walk to calm down.
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.
00:08:53Pecked?
00:08:54They didn't realise it was the murder weapon
00:08:57until 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 stand back first.
00:09:11Further?
00:09:12Well, I've seen everything now.
00:09:23The victim's name was Brad Furbank, aged 29.
00:09:30Time of death?
00:09:31Judging from his lividity and rigour,
00:09:33I'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.
00:09:43Well, she lives here with her husband, Sir Alan.
00:09:46Where 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.
00:09:56Well, it seems they were right all along.
00:09:59Time is indeed the enemy.
00:10:01I 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.
00:10:23So I was out like a light.
00:10:28Don't look at me.
00:10:29I tend to sleep the sleep of the just.
00:10:32All right.
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?
00:10:51I 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 it.
00:11:14I 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 we never knew we had qualify?
00:11:34The 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, sired Noah out of wedlock.
00:11:50Noah?
00:11:50Noah Connoboy.
00:11:51Now, I had no idea he existed until the family solicitor told me at my father's funeral.
00:11:58Was this recently?
00:11:59Uh, it 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.
00:12:09So Noah turned up with the clock?
00:12:12Yes, he said that he'd made it especially for the occasion.
00:12:15Shall I save you some time?
00:12:17The only reason Noah's here is to claim his share.
00:12:20Oh, so you think Sir Alan was the intended target?
00:12:24A child of five could tell you that.
00:12:26So, off you trot and go and arrest Noah.
00:12:30He'll be outside, contaminating our grounds.
00:12:33What my darling wife means is that Noah's arrived with his troop.
00:12:37They put on oldie-worldie woodworking festivals.
00:12:40Very popular, apparently.
00:12:42Brings people from far and wide.
00:12:44So we don't need some limp flower festival when we can replace it with something much more popular.
00:12:50Did 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, checking the markets.
00:13:02So you didn't have an argument with 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 to 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.
00:13:33The village have boycotted it.
00:13:35Our magnanimous father decided to charge double this year.
00:13:39Which made a lot of people very angry.
00:13:41We'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.
00:14:09Oh, yeah.
00:14:12Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:14:16Uh, 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 that, um,
00:14:25Brad Furbank was murdered last night.
00:14:28Murdered?
00:14:29Are you serious?
00:14:31That's awful.
00:14:33And what can you tell us about the cooking clock?
00:14:37It tells the time.
00:14:38What 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 had been attached to the cuckoo's beak.
00:14:54The second it chimed, it sprang out, and...
00:14:57I'm sure you can work out the rest.
00:14:59Everyone 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, um, off 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...
00:15:38up sticks.
00:15:39But she often...
00:15:41told me about this place.
00:15:43Is that your way of saying that you did know?
00:15:45When 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?
00:16:11Fleur.
00:16:12It's called a dibbler.
00:16:14Say that again.
00:16:14And gardeners 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.
00:16:33Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak
00:16:35is called a dibbler.
00:16:37And what's a dibbler when it's at 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.
00:16:55Sorry, mate.
00:16:56We don't need the extra kegs.
00:16:58Blame the village for boycotting the flower festival.
00:17:00I'm not going to shift a tenth of what I normally do this 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?
00:17:35Not really, no.
00:17:37Not unless you count that moment with Kimony.
00:17:41Kimony?
00:17:42Kimony 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?
00:17:53Well, everyone saw it.
00:17:55It was a work of art.
00:17:57I wish I had skills like that.
00:17:58I can barely put up a shelf.
00:18:00Should have listened to my 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?
00:18:10No, 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.
00:18:23Well, there must have been a sale on at the mirror shop.
00:18:41Well, we've got a charger.
00:18:44But still no sign of a phone.
00:18:46Sounds to me like someone doesn't want it to be found.
00:18:51Dr. Perkins?
00:18:51Hey, Fever.
00:18:53I know the feeling.
00:18:54You're in 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.
00:19:06Please remove yourself, Mr. Solanke.
00:19:09I've never seen anything like this.
00:19:11Well, not for real.
00:19:13My mum wanted me to do a course in forensics.
00:19:21Will you be done soon?
00:19:24I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mrs. Solanke.
00:19:27Fleur?
00:19:36We're done.
00:19:38For now.
00:19:39All right.
00:19:59How are you?
00:19:59Here we go.
00:20:29What 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. And you know it.
00:20:53Is this you for the rest of your life now? Punishing drivers day and night?
00:21:01I'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.
00:21:58Uh, I'll need you to e-mail that to me.
00:22:10Of course.
00:22:15Usually 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.
00:22:23Yet still you went to the engagement party.
00:22:25Myrtle and I have been friends for decades.
00:22:30I could hardly let it 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.
00:22:55I know a very good jeweller if you want to sell that ring.
00:23:08How could you be so thoughtless?
00:23:10Well, there'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 wood, 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.
00:24:26Oh, 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.
00:24:36Someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:24:38Perfect.
00:24:39Because I'd 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,
00:24:49even 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?
00:25:03He said it was to replace a flower day or something.
00:25:08I see.
00:25:09He thinks it could become a permanent thing
00:25:12if it goes well,
00:25:13which 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
00:25:22and find out about those bylaws.
00:25:24Sure.
00:25:31Call me back when you get this.
00:25:34I'm not 100%,
00:25:35but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:38I'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.
00:26:02His 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.
00:26:26What's got into you?
00:26:28There'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.
00:26:40We are never coming back.
00:26:42I mean it, Noah.
00:26:43I'm not going to get this.
00:27:02I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:27:11Kimberly, I just got your message.
00:27:13Oh, my God.
00:27:19Are you sure it's her?
00:27:22I 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 you got dumped last year
00:27:39because 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.
00:27:47So, what do you think so far would Grandad approve?
00:27:50If you don't mind me saying, it looks a bit lopsided.
00:27:54Very funny.
00:27:54Oh, I see where you've been going wrong.
00:27:59Here, look.
00:28:00You've had this upside down.
00:28:01You tear that and you're in big trouble.
00:28:03He-he-he.
00:28:06Oh, Penny!
00:28:07Penny!
00:28:07Oh, Penny!
00:28:08Ow!
00:28:09No!
00:28:11It's all right.
00:28:12I can dry it off.
00:28:12Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:28:17Did I mention carpenters in my jeans?
00:28:20I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:28:29Tell me what's wrong with this picture, Winter.
00:28:31Cuckoo'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.
00:28:46But look who is level with the portrait.
00:28:50Brad.
00:28:51Which 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,
00:29:02he 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
00:29:10or 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
00:29:16at the time of the murder.
00:29:17Presumably they sent over a record of his recent calls and texts.
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.
00:29:39Did anything come back on Kim and E. Bullitt?
00:29:42Ah, yes.
00:29:43I found out that her husband was killed in a hit and run
00:29:46a year ago.
00:29:47The driver was never traced.
00:29:49Well, that explains the speed gun
00:29:50and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:29:53Intriguingly, the hit and run happened on the same day
00:29:55that the flower festival was rained off.
00:29:59In almost exactly a year to the day,
00:30:02Brad Furbank is pecked to death,
00:30:04as Fleur so eloquently put it.
00:30:06If he didn't know that the emeralds and gold were fake,
00:30:10imagine what seeing them might mean to him.
00:30:13Someone who's not only penniless,
00:30:15but 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
00:30:25and then re-hung the clock,
00:30:26knowing that he would come for it?
00:30:28That's exactly what they did a winter.
00:30:29I'll speak to Frankie.
00:30:36You talk to her sister, Sylvia.
00:30:38I want to find out what they did
00:30:39or didn't know about Brad.
00:30:43And while you're at it,
00:30:44I need a book.
00:30:46A book?
00:30:48On, um,
00:30:50woodwork.
00:30:50My sweetheart,
00:30:55come along.
00:30:57Don't you hear the fond song?
00:30:59The sweet note of the nightingale flow.
00:31:04Don't you hear the fond tale
00:31:06of the sweet nightingale
00:31:09as she sings in those valleys below?
00:31:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:31:16As she sings in those valleys below.
00:31:20Oh, 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.
00:31:38Oh, I'm so sorry
00:31:39about what happened to your fiancé.
00:31:41Oh.
00:31:45That actually means more than you realise.
00:31:47I'm Nessie, Noah's partner.
00:31:49Were you looking for him?
00:31:50No.
00:31:51I just needed to go on a wanderer.
00:31:57How long will you be here for?
00:32:00Oh.
00:32:01Hopefully just for the weekend.
00:32:03If I can convince Noah.
00:32:04Well, he wants to stay longer.
00:32:06He thinks he can make a permanent home here.
00:32:09Has he told my father that?
00:32:11Doesn't matter if he has.
00:32:13I'm going to convince him to up sticks.
00:32:15Couldn't hit me with you.
00:32:17Could you?
00:32:17That was a joke.
00:32:19Well, sort of.
00:32:21Frankie, if you want to get away, then do it.
00:32:24I did the same myself years ago.
00:32:27Left godly buzzard and never looked back.
00:32:30And now you're the singing stilts, lady.
00:32:33Hmm.
00:32:33And I can see for miles and miles
00:32:35to the horizon and beyond.
00:32:39I'd love to try that one day.
00:32:43Please?
00:32:47Let's see if you've got a head for heights.
00:32:49You're right.
00:33:06You can see everything.
00:33:10Frankie, you have a moment.
00:33:13Do me a very large favour, Sylvia.
00:33:21Slap 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, you're not a sir.
00:33:33Grandad 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.
00:33:45Well, chop, chop,
00:33:45because the wonderful Noah's bar
00:33:47is opening tomorrow morning,
00:33:4910 a.m. sharp.
00:33:55More questions?
00:33:56Yes.
00:33:57Do you mind if I step inside?
00:34:03Miss Bruce,
00:34:04can 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.
00:34:11A lot.
00:34:12Presumably, you didn't know
00:34:13that he was a con man and a thief.
00:34:15I'm sorry, he was what?
00:34:17We found antihistamine
00:34:19in Brad's room at the pub.
00:34:21It's for hay fever.
00:34:23What 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.
00:34:34Stately 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.
00:34:42Or he realised that there was more
00:34:44to gain from seducing Frankie
00:34:45and marrying into the family.
00:34:47Please, stop.
00:34:49This is awful.
00:34:50I've never seen it before.
00:34:56Where did you find it?
00:34:57It was in Brad's room at the pub.
00:35:04This earring...
00:35:06it doesn't mean he was.
00:35:10No, Brad wouldn't do that to me.
00:35:12How did you meet?
00:35:19It was on the eve of last year's
00:35:21War of the Roses festival.
00:35:23We had a private preview.
00:35:24We ended up talking,
00:35:26so I took him on a tour of the house.
00:35:28He asked to see inside?
00:35:30He seemed really keen.
00:35:32I got the impression he liked me.
00:35:36How much did you know
00:35:37about his Bitcoin business?
00:35:38Only what he told me,
00:35:40but that he was doing great.
00:35:42I'm afraid he was lying to you, Frankie.
00:35:44He didn't have a penny to his name.
00:35:47Of course he did.
00:35:48Have you seen this ring?
00:35:50Why would he say that?
00:35:51He was overdrawn
00:35:52and owed money everywhere.
00:35:53No, he was always splashing out on me.
00:35:56You need to get your facts straight.
00:35:58Please don't let this be true.
00:36:10It's been hard enough
00:36:11trying to convince my parents
00:36:13I'm worthy of their love
00:36:14and now this.
00:36:21Is that all you wanted?
00:36:22Only my father's given me a job to do.
00:36:25Were you around when Kim Lee's husband
00:36:26was killed in the hit and run?
00:36:28What's that got to do
00:36:29with what happened to Brad?
00:36:30Well, we're aware
00:36:31that he showed up at Godly Manor
00:36:33the same day that it happened.
00:36:35I 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
00:36:41a few weeks later.
00:36:43I need to get on.
00:36:45Oh, and I need a book.
00:36:48On woodwork.
00:36:56Do you have children,
00:37:01Chief Inspector?
00:37:03A daughter.
00:37:06And you love her, right?
00:37:09You love her with every fibre
00:37:11of your being.
00:37:14Well, can you imagine what it's like
00:37:15when the opposite is true?
00:37:18Can you imagine
00:37:19what that would be like
00:37:20for your daughter?
00:37:20I can't see myself
00:37:24being anything other than
00:37:25in awe of her.
00:37:29That's because
00:37:30you didn't bring her
00:37:32into this world
00:37:33for all the wrong reasons.
00:37:37I had a brother,
00:37:38Chief Inspector.
00:37:40Frances.
00:37:41Well, what I mean
00:37:42when I say I had a brother
00:37:43is he died
00:37:45when he was just over a year old.
00:37:47And I was conceived
00:37:49shortly afterwards,
00:37:51but solely
00:37:52in the hope
00:37:53that my parents
00:37:54could somehow
00:37:55recreate him.
00:38:00Myrtle,
00:38:01it was so long ago.
00:38:03I was probably
00:38:04seeing things.
00:38:06Don't backtrack now.
00:38:08Something made you think
00:38:09you saw Aggie Marlowe.
00:38:11Now, what was it?
00:38:12It was the way
00:38:13she wouldn't look at me.
00:38:15Like,
00:38:15she didn't want
00:38:16to be recognised.
00:38:19Perhaps you could have
00:38:20her arrested
00:38:20this time around.
00:38:21Oh, what are you
00:38:22talking about?
00:38:23The police said
00:38:24Frances' death
00:38:25was due to natural causes.
00:38:27There's no arrest
00:38:27happening here.
00:38:29No.
00:38:30Sometimes you have
00:38:31to take things
00:38:31into your own hands.
00:38:35You don't mean that,
00:38:36do you?
00:38:38Mattel?
00:38:41You're scaring me.
00:38:46Apparently my parents
00:38:47were out at an afternoon
00:38:49due with my grandfather
00:38:50and when my mother
00:38:52came back,
00:38:53she found Frances
00:38:54dead on the floor.
00:38:55He'd fallen out of his cot.
00:38:56They'd left him
00:38:57on his own?
00:38:58No, they had a babysitter,
00:38:59Aggie Marlowe,
00:39:00but she vanished
00:39:01into thin air.
00:39:03Sylvia said it broke
00:39:04my parents in half
00:39:05until one of them
00:39:06had the desperately
00:39:07sad idea
00:39:08of making another
00:39:09Frances.
00:39:12Hence my name.
00:39:13So they went ahead
00:39:16and sadly for them
00:39:19I emerged
00:39:20and that is when
00:39:21they realised
00:39:22that they couldn't
00:39:23get Frances back.
00:39:24But worse
00:39:25because they were
00:39:27saddled with someone
00:39:28every day
00:39:29who reminds them
00:39:31that I'm not
00:39:32their precious son.
00:39:37I'm sorry.
00:39:43I'm sorry.
00:40:13I'm sorry.
00:40:43Best I could do, sir.
00:40:44Is it for Mrs. Bean?
00:40:46Hmm, thank you, Winter.
00:40:47Yes, Sarah's struggling
00:40:49a bit with the arbor.
00:40:50She even managed
00:40:51to injure her thumb.
00:40:54Well, I'm sure
00:40:55she'd be glad of this.
00:40:56So, did Frankie
00:40:58recognise the earring?
00:40:59In a word,
00:41:01no.
00:41:02Oh, well that puts
00:41:04a cat among the pigeons.
00:41:05Brad must have been
00:41:06seeing someone else.
00:41:09Dears, Winter.
00:41:09Is it...
00:41:10OK.
00:41:13Yeah, thanks.
00:41:15Sir,
00:41:16we've had an anonymous call
00:41:17from a withheld number
00:41:19as a woman
00:41:19saying that she's
00:41:20very worried
00:41:21about an Aggie Marlowe
00:41:22being back
00:41:23in Godly Buzzard.
00:41:25We don't know
00:41:25an Aggie Marlowe, do we?
00:41:27I think we do, Winter.
00:41:30The Aggie is short
00:41:31for Agnes,
00:41:32which can also
00:41:33be shortened
00:41:33to Nessie.
00:41:35Perhaps you should
00:41:36go and have a chat
00:41:37with her.
00:41:38Hmm.
00:41:39I think we do.
00:42:09Who the hell are you? What 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. How 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.
00:42:56And do 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. I'm not having this.
00:43:07Ah.
00:43:16Oh.
00:43:19Oh.
00:43:21Oh.
00:43:22Oh, my God.
00:43:52You've joined a library.
00:44:03Oh, Winter borrowed it.
00:44:05He said he thought you 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.
00:44:23I don't want to get any splinters.
00:44:33Winter.
00:44:34Impeccable timing.
00:44:37You found Nessie.
00:44:37What does 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 Marlowe.
00:45:00The good news is you found her, but 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, and the
00:45:14billhook did the rest.
00:45:16The what?
00:45:17Billhook, Winter.
00:45:18It's a highly versatile cutting tool.
00:45:20My grandfather had one.
00:45:22Same sort of tool you might find in Noah's bark.
00:45:24You look 10% 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?
00:45:35I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:45:37The killer just left the weapon lying around?
00:45:39It was stuffed behind that fallen log over there.
00:45:44Let's start with Noah.
00:45:45Before you lope off, she was carrying this.
00:45:51But I wouldn't get too excited.
00:45:53I don't think he's the killer.
00:45:59What the hell?
00:46:02They're not letting the public in.
00:46:04Well, what did you expect?
00:46:06Agnes Marlowe was murdered last night.
00:46:08Yes, that person was a blight on our family.
00:46:11Yes, and 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.
00:46:22Is really that terrible that Aggie's dead?
00:46:24You know full well what I mean.
00:46:26I want him gone, Alan.
00:46:34Nessie and I were together for years.
00:46:38I 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 realised we'd both lived in Godly Buzzard 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.
00:47:15She 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.
00:47:31Even 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.
00:47:58Ness 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 you say Angel?
00:48:18The Axeman.
00:48:19He 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 you around.
00:48:37Anyone could come in and take anything.
00:48:41It's not like we'd lock anything away.
00:48:45Again, we've got to peal on SNEL's gir informants.
00:48:47Thanks,ительно.
00:48:59What?
00:49:00There's no Mia.
00:49:02Let's go.
00:49:04Thanks.
00:49:05Thanks.
00:49:06Saj, what are you doing?
00:49:13Waiting 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 there for a year, and I'm going to miss him.
00:49:26Saj, you may as well know, the police are saying he was a con man.
00:49:30No way.
00:49:31A con man?
00:49:33Did you know?
00:49:33Or ever get a sense of it?
00:49:36Like you said, he was here a whole year.
00:49:38Me?
00:49:39Nah.
00:49:40Poor Frankie.
00:49:43You sure you didn't know?
00:49:45You sure you didn't?
00:49:46What does that mean?
00:49:48I don't know.
00:49:49I always thought you had a bit of a thing for him.
00:49:51A thing?
00:49:52What thing?
00:49:53Why would you say that?
00:49:54Well, you're always so keen on him, always bigging him up.
00:49:58Well, says he's number one fan.
00:50:00That wasn't me.
00:50:01No way.
00:50:02You've thorned all over him.
00:50:03In fact, you changed personality whenever he was around.
00:50:06Aye, well.
00:50:07Maybe it's a good thing he's not owned anymore, eh?
00:50:15Lucas.
00:50:16This is crazy.
00:50:18None of the smiles know he's gone.
00:50:19I'm sorry.
00:50:24I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:50:27Same.
00:50:29Normal service has resumed.
00:50:35Best make a different toast.
00:50:37Hmm?
00:50:38Hmm?
00:50:41Out with the bad and all that.
00:50:43Ah!
00:50:43Out 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?
00:50:55I'll get tech to check out her phone calls and texts.
00:51:00Also, have them chase up the anonymous tip about Aggie Marlow being back in the village.
00:51:07She was killed almost immediately afterwards.
00:51:09So whoever called us was really worried.
00:51:12You think one of the Bruce's found out she was back?
00:51:14I'll go and see.
00:51:20This is the last place I saw Francis alive.
00:51:23I gave him a cuddle before Alan and I took Sir Percival to a party.
00:51:30I'll never forgive myself for leaving him.
00:51:34And when you returned home?
00:51:36I stayed longer than planned.
00:51:38It was Kimini's fault. She can chat for England.
00:51:41Alan had wandered off ages before.
00:51:44When I got back, there was no sign of Aggie anywhere.
00:51:48And then I found Francis.
00:51:52Lying right there.
00:51:54Not moving.
00:52:00Lady Myrtle, did you know that, um,
00:52:03Aggie Marlow was living on your grounds with Noah?
00:52:07Of course I didn't.
00:52:08You never met or saw her?
00:52:10I just said.
00:52:11I didn't know she was back.
00:52:12And trust me, if I had,
00:52:14Aggie would have been dead a lot sooner.
00:52:18I want that woman's body off our land.
00:52:21You know what she did to Myrtle and I?
00:52:25Where were you last night?
00:52:27Are you listening to me, Barnaby?
00:52:28It's Detective Chief Inspector, Barnaby.
00:52:33I was in my bed getting my beauty sleep
00:52:35in preparation for the grand opening,
00:52:37which actually won't be remotely grand now,
00:52:40thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:52:42Were you aware that she was part of Noah's bar?
00:52:45What on earth are you talking about?
00:52:46Well, it turns out she was Noah's partner.
00:52:48Had been for years.
00:52:49My God, you couldn't make it up.
00:52:51Brad didn't happen to find that out
00:52:53when he was searching for Noah.
00:52:54Would I have invited him here if he had?
00:52:56If you wanted revenge for Francis,
00:52:58then yes, that's exactly what you would have done.
00:53:01Look, I invited Noah here simply to raise some cash.
00:53:06My father didn't exactly leave a pot of gold in his will,
00:53:09and these stately homes cost a fortune to maintain.
00:53:12On the outside, it looks like we've won the lottery.
00:53:14On the inside, we can barely afford a ticket.
00:53:16Well, there's still the house and grounds, though.
00:53:19And surely you knew that finding Noah
00:53:21could result in you having to hand over half
00:53:23of everything you'd inherited.
00:53:25You've met him.
00:53:26He's a hippie.
00:53:27They don't belong in houses like this.
00:53:29Anyway, he'll drift away soon enough.
00:53:32Did Brad know you were struggling financially?
00:53:35I admit, I was a little too keen to get Noah here,
00:53:38and someone like Brad might have noted that.
00:53:41Someone like Brad?
00:53:43He was a parasite.
00:53:45I didn't realize at first, but he was a tapeworm
00:53:48eating his way into our family.
00:53:56Sir?
00:53:59I called Saj Solanki, and he said that he remembers
00:54:01seeing Noah and the Axeman in the pub.
00:54:03It seems the Bruce's both had a strong motive for killing Nessie,
00:54:08and Sir Alan had an inkling that Brad wasn't the person he claimed to be.
00:54:13Talking of Brad, we know that he was desperate for money
00:54:17to keep up his lies and lifestyle,
00:54:20so all it would take is for his killer to know that as well.
00:54:24What about the person the diamond earring belongs to?
00:54:28It could be some kind of love rat thing.
00:54:31Elegantly put, Winter?
00:54:32Or Frankie found out that Brad was cheating on her
00:54:34and killed him in a fit of jealousy.
00:54:35I'm sure that's possible in your love rat world.
00:54:38She was also the only member of the Bruce family
00:54:40that we know for certain met Nessie.
00:54:42Ah, and you were doing so well, Winter.
00:54:44But Frankie hadn't been born when Nessie was babysitting for the Bruce's.
00:54:49It's doubtful she'd know her on sight.
00:54:51Now, here's a question for you.
00:54:53How does a penniless man rent a room in a pub for an entire year?
00:55:12Look, Kemeny won't report you for speeding.
00:55:15There are mitigating circumstances just like you told her.
00:55:18You know what she's like.
00:55:20She takes her misery out on anyone she can find.
00:55:23I can't have points on my licence. I could lose my job.
00:55:26Well, come work here then.
00:55:28You'd probably earn more.
00:55:30If this world of woodenness takes off, this place will be packed.
00:55:33It's not the money.
00:55:35I happen to love that job.
00:55:37Ah, Mr Solanke.
00:55:39A word, if you don't mind.
00:55:41I thought you were all done here.
00:55:44How did Brad pay for his room and board?
00:55:47Like anyone else?
00:55:48He was penniless, Mr Solanke.
00:55:50We can just go through your books.
00:55:53Right, well, er, thing is, er, hindsight's a great thing, right?
00:55:58But, er, I kind of let Brad run up a tab.
00:56:02For an entire year?
00:56:04Oh, he was a nice guy.
00:56:06I totally trusted him.
00:56:07Tell them, Sylvia.
00:56:09You were always urging Frankie to marry Emma.
00:56:11You're lead on that.
00:56:13While we have you, we found this in Brad's room.
00:56:18Have you seen that before?
00:56:20No, sorry.
00:56:22Did Brad ever have anyone other than Frankie back to his room?
00:56:25No, not that I ever saw.
00:56:27Fleur?
00:56:29Believe it or not, we're at the pub right now.
00:56:36We're going to need access to Brad's room again.
00:56:39It'll be fine, don't worry.
00:56:59Oh, Noah.
00:57:01I'm so sorry.
00:57:03I just heard about Aggie.
00:57:06Aggie?
00:57:07I meant Nessie.
00:57:09You must be devastated.
00:57:12That answers everything.
00:57:15She 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?
00:57:30I think you should leave.
00:57:32I think.
00:57:34I should go to the police, don't you?
00:57:36What is it called?
00:57:38Accessory to murder?
00:57:40Well, go on then.
00:57:42I've done nothing wrong.
00:57:43I'll tell them you clearly recognized her,
00:57:46and they'll realize you're the only one who knew who she was.
00:57:52Why are you here?
00:57:55What do you want from me?
00:57:56That'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?
00:58:07That's something else entirely.
00:58:09You're the head of the council.
00:58:10I'm sure you could make it happen.
00:58:12They already hate Sir Alan.
00:58:13I doubt they'd be too fond of you for riding to his rescue.
00:58:16We're talking about my home.
00:58:18A home I've been denied for far too long, so make it happen.
00:58:25What if I can't?
00:58:28This is my birthright.
00:58:29I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of that.
00:58:46What are you doing?
00:58:47What's that for?
00:58:52Care to explain, Mr. Stolenke?
00:58:55No idea.
00:58:57I was already there when I started running the police.
00:59:00Shall I keep going?
00:59:01Where is this leading flow?
00:59:03I worked on a similar case once.
00:59:04There were mirrors all over the walls in that place as well.
00:59:07Clearly the idea took off.
00:59:09When I first encountered this sort of thing, my boss told me to touch the mirrors with my fingernail.
00:59:14And my fingernail touched its reflection.
00:59:18What else would it touch?
00:59:20Index finger, please, Winton.
00:59:25I promise not to bite.
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,
00:59:39finger touches finger.
00:59:41And they're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Stolenke?
00:59:56It's for security purposes.
00:59:59Try again, Mr. Stolenke.
01:00:00Look, a lot of people book into hotels and not just to sleep.
01:00:08They 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.
01:00:17Half the people that come in here are up to no good.
01:00:20So you thought you'd make some money out of it?
01:00:23When did Brad find out you were doing this?
01:00:25First night he stayed, he accidentally knocked over the mirror onto the floor and he saw the camera behind it.
01:00:32But he didn't report you?
01:00:33He told me to lose the cameras in his room and keep the rest in the other rooms.
01:00:38He wanted in on it.
01:00:40In fact, he took over.
01:00:41He made me blackmail everyone that I could.
01:00:44And for the last year he's lived here rent-free in exchange for his silence?
01:00:47He's bled me dry in every way you can imagine.
01:00:51Including forcing you to buy Frankie's engagement ring.
01:00:55Well, how do you know that?
01:00:57We didn't until now.
01:00:59We'll need to look into Mr. Stolenke's finances.
01:01:04Am I going to prison for this?
01:01:06At the moment I'm more interested in who Brad was seeing behind Frankie's back.
01:01:11Well, he wasn't seeing anyone.
01:01:13You're in enough trouble as it is, Mr. Stolenke.
01:01:14I couldn't say anything before because then you'd come back and ask for proof and then you'd...
01:01:22Find out what you've been doing.
01:01:25She used to come in the back way.
01:01:27Obviously didn't know I had a hidden camera outside.
01:01:30But it was...
01:01:31Sylvia Bruce.
01:01:33Sylvia? No.
01:01:35It was her mum. Myrtle.
01:01:45Look at these idiots, sir.
01:02:01She can't give me a ticket.
01:02:04This is official police business.
01:02:06So's this.
01:02:07Just so you know, you can pass on my information, but it'll be up to the police if they decide to prosecute or not.
01:02:12And, well...
01:02:14I am the police.
01:02:16Well, we'll find out on Monday when I send in my data whether that helps or not.
01:02:21Hmm?
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.
01:02:37Sorry, Kimberly.
01:02:39Look at how it's on the final leg.
01:02:43Someone needs to take that speed gun off her.
01:02:46Drive on, Winter.
01:02:48Slowly.
01:02:59Would you like to know where we found this?
01:03:03You should know that Brad never loved Frankie.
01:03:09I mean, how could he?
01:03:11She'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?
01:03:28Doesn't matter if he did or he didn't.
01:03:30He disappeared the night Francis died.
01:03:33There's more life in his portrait.
01:03:36When did you last see Brad?
01:03:38When he was lying dead in our hallway.
01:03:40Lady Myrtle?
01:03:42At the engagement party.
01:03:44And you were never worried that Saj would see you at the pub and tell Frankie?
01:03:47I didn't go there often.
01:03:49And Brad seemed to have some hold over Saj.
01:03:52He said he wouldn't say a word if he knew what was good for him.
01:03:54Sadly for you, he can say whatever he wants now.
01:03:58What are you talking about?
01:04:00Saj has CCTV footage of you two arguing outside his pub the day before Brad died.
01:04:05What was the argument about?
01:04:07He'd found out that Alan and I aren't exactly wealthy.
01:04:11He was furious. He said I'd been leading him on.
01:04:14Did he break up with you?
01:04:15He threatened to.
01:04:16How did you feel about that?
01:04:18How do you think?
01:04:20Did you get the dibbler from Kim and his shop?
01:04:23Call in to see her and slip one into your pocket?
01:04:25I 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.
01:04:30Murder very often is.
01:04:32Lady Myrtle.
01:04:36You're not going to bring Lady Myrtle in, sir.
01:04:38Sir Alan has already given her an alibi for the night Brad was killed.
01:04:42We need something concrete.
01:04:44T.S. Winter.
01:04:46Oh, okay. That was quick.
01:04:48Thanks.
01:04:50Sir, Tech have managed to trace the anonymous call regarding Aggie Marlow.
01:04:55It was from Kimeny Bullet.
01:04:57Oh, of course it was.
01:04:59And we already know she likes to share her findings with the police.
01:05:03Hop over to her shop and find out if she told anyone else.
01:05:07She was obviously worried about what might happen.
01:05:09Hello?
01:05:10Hello?
01:05:11Hello?
01:05:35You could have picked somewhere more accessible.
01:05:42I never liked that hill.
01:06:05There you are.
01:06:12Let me just catch my breath.
01:06:35How's your thumb?
01:07:03Throbbing.
01:07:05Do you really think you can put that arbor together?
01:07:10Only I don't want it suddenly collapsing on Betty or her friends or on me, for that matter.
01:07:16That arbor will still be standing a hundred years from now.
01:07:20A monument to the inherited skills of a master craftsman.
01:07:25Right.
01:07:35What's that around her mouth?
01:07:36Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue.
01:07:50Super strong.
01:07:51I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:08:05Look at her the chair, and then if I'm right, they force-fed her whatever was left in the glue gun.
01:08:10That's also covered in glue.
01:08:12Whoever it was tried to make it cosy and inviting.
01:08:16If only.
01:08:17Any idea where the chairs came from?
01:08:21Judging from the finish, I'd say a craftsman, though.
01:08:27Would you like a ticket?
01:08:42I'm afraid Kiminy Bullitt was killed sometime last night.
01:09:04My God.
01:09:05I was wondering what had happened.
01:09:10Were you at the house?
01:09:12No.
01:09:13I stayed here last night.
01:09:15Noah's a bit lost right now, obviously, so I thought I could be there for him.
01:09:20You didn't see or hear anything?
01:09:23No.
01:09:24Sorry.
01:09:25This is awful.
01:09:27I've known Kiminy my whole life.
01:09:34Excuse 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.
01:10:03Yes, she came up with that.
01:10:06All of this was her idea.
01:10:09Show people how much they can learn and benefit from nature.
01:10:13And turn it into furniture.
01:10:16Namely, a pair of chairs.
01:10:18If you're looking to pin this on me, anyone could have come in here.
01:10:23You really shouldn't try locking things away, Mr. Connoboy.
01:10:26Someone needs to go and tell the crowds we won't be opening any time soon.
01:10:30They'll have to come back next year.
01:10:33You're planning on returning?
01:10:35I'm not actually planning on leaving.
01:10:37I was born here.
01:10:39Nessie was born here.
01:10:41I belong here.
01:10:43Hi, sir.
01:10:56Yeah, I'm in Kiminy's shop.
01:10:58Someone's been in here and...
01:11:00Looks like they've smashed up our laptop.
01:11:02Yeah.
01:11:03Is there anyone Kiminy might have upset recently?
01:11:15If there was, she didn't tell me.
01:11:18We know she left an anonymous tip-off about Aggie Marlow being back in Godly Buzzard.
01:11:24Did she happen to tell you as well?
01:11:26As I've already said, that wouldn't have gone well for Aggie.
01:11:30Is that why Kiminy decided to contact us?
01:11:33You met her.
01:11:34She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:11:38Talking of which, did she ever mention the hit-and-run?
01:11:41Only to the point of boredom.
01:11:43More recently, I mean, as in had she found out who killed her husband?
01:11:47No, she'd have said.
01:11:49In fact, she'd have screamed it from the rooftops.
01:11:54We 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, Brad got a puncture up at the house and walked down to the village.
01:12:06He couldn't have run anyone over, let alone Kim and his husband.
01:12:10I don't suppose I could have Francis's teddy.
01:12:17Only Kiminy bought that for him.
01:12:19It feels so wrong that Aggie took it.
01:12:25How did you know about the teddy bear?
01:12:27We deliberately withheld that information.
01:12:30Alan told me he must have let it slip, Chief Inspector.
01:12:40Charles, 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.
01:12:56I'll send you an email with all the details.
01:12:58Speak soon.
01:13:00Well, that should shrink your annual budget.
01:13:04How did you know about Aggie Marlowe taking Francis's teddy bear?
01:13:08You told your wife, remember?
01:13:11Well, I probably picked it up off of one of you lot.
01:13:14Aggie must have gone up to Francis's room.
01:13:18I think you saw her.
01:13:20You're an absolute balderdash.
01:13:21Why would she go up there?
01:13:23I didn't know she had.
01:13:24It seems a strange place to return to, considering the circumstances.
01:13:29Or was she coming to see you and Lady Myrtle?
01:13:31I very much doubt it.
01:13:33She'd been avoiding being seen,
01:13:36yet she felt confident enough to come to the house,
01:13:39the place where she'd apparently left a child to die.
01:13:43I'm afraid I can't answer for her actions.
01:13:45I happen to think you can.
01:13:48What really happened on the day your son died?
01:13:51I'd really rather not go back there.
01:13:52It's still exceedingly raw even after all these years.
01:13:55I know that you and your wife went to a party with your father.
01:14:02She said that she came back alone,
01:14:05which implies that either you were still at the party,
01:14:08or you'd already left.
01:14:10No, I stayed till the bitter end.
01:14:12Then you would have seen both Lady Myrtle and Kimeny,
01:14:15because they stayed late as well.
01:14:20You've spent a long time living with this, Sir Alan.
01:14:23She was extremely attractive back then.
01:14:34And I was only a little older than her.
01:14:37In your eyes, perhaps?
01:14:40And I've been drinking.
01:14:42And you know, sometimes on those odd occasions
01:14:44when you have a romantic thought,
01:14:46and then that thought becomes a possibility.
01:14:49And then, before you know where you are,
01:14:50it's a cast-iron certainty.
01:14:52And I was Sir Percival's son.
01:14:54How could she not be impressed?
01:14:56But Aggie wasn't impressed, was she?
01:14:58Well, she tried to be polite,
01:15:00and I went along with it at first,
01:15:02but then I said we hadn't got much time,
01:15:04and perhaps we should move things forward.
01:15:06Well, she was appalled.
01:15:08Said she wanted to go and check on Francis.
01:15:12She was crying.
01:15:13And I stopped her.
01:15:16I didn't let her see him.
01:15:18For how long?
01:15:20Well, I thought I heard a thump,
01:15:23or a thud, or something.
01:15:25But I just ignored it,
01:15:27because I had other things on my mind.
01:15:30And Aggie heard it, too.
01:15:32Told me to open the door.
01:15:34She said it over and over again.
01:15:35And when I refused, she slapped me,
01:15:37and then she dodged by me.
01:15:38And her first thought was to go and check on Francis.
01:15:41And that's when I heard her scream.
01:15:46And by the time you got there?
01:15:48Well, to my eternal shame, I blamed her.
01:15:53I said it was all her fault,
01:15:55and that I would see her locked up for life.
01:16:00So she ran,
01:16:01knowing that no one would believe her word against yours,
01:16:05the son of Sir Percival Bruce.
01:16:07She came to see me a few nights ago.
01:16:11She told me she was going to tell Myrtle the truth.
01:16:14Well, everybody, in fact.
01:16:15Why now, after all this time?
01:16:17Well, Noah wants to set up permanent residence on the grounds.
01:16:21But I didn't kill her, I swear.
01:16:23I didn't even try to get that damn Teddy back.
01:16:26I just stood there, frozen,
01:16:29in this pathetic excuse that I call my life.
01:16:35Wow.
01:16:36etas wearing Giants
01:16:37So I looked into Saja's financials, like you said,
01:16:45and the other thing was that Sylvia paid for Brad's room
01:16:48the night he turned up in Godly Buzzard.
01:16:51Sir, I looked into Saj's financials, like you said, and the odd thing was that Sylvia
01:17:00paid for Brad's room the night he turned up in Godly Buzzard, but she said that she didn't meet
01:17:05him that day. I think we'd better talk to her. Also, Fleur's tech team found a smudge of blue
01:17:11ink on Kimini's laptop. It was only tiny, but she's going to run it. Tell her there's no me.
01:17:16I already have, sir, because it's probably from the stamp that Sylvia uses in her library.
01:17:21Are you one jump ahead of me, Winter? There is a first time for everything, sir.
01:17:25You should get a bonus for all the things you've taught me. Didn't tech have any luck with Kimini's
01:17:31laptop? They managed to retrieve most of the data, but it was just the speeding reports that
01:17:35she'd been filing. And I see. I should go and talk to her before she heads off.
01:17:51Sylvia, I wanted to ask, why did you pay for Brad's room the night that the flower festival
01:17:56was rained off? You said that you hadn't met him that day. Sylvia? Sylvia?
01:18:04I can't get around her, sir. See if there's somewhere to pass up her head.
01:18:16Oh, following me! What's she doing? Where's she going? She's on her way to Godly Manor.
01:18:23You can't go and live with that excuse for an uncle. I can do what the hell I like. No one's
01:18:31going to try and take all of this from us. It's not just the grounds he wants. He'll
01:18:46come for his share of the house. And you think I'm on your side? I hope he gets the lot.
01:18:52Frankie! Frankie!
01:18:59She's heading for the gate, sir. She's going to go straight through them, sir.
01:19:06Frankie!
01:19:11Sylvia!
01:19:24What are you doing? They know. Know what? What I did. Pull yourself together, Sylvia.
01:19:30I killed him, mother. I killed him.
01:19:35What the hell is going on? Shaking like a leaf. Sylvia, I don't understand. Ask them.
01:19:50They know. Stop saying that. Will somebody talk to me? Well, tell them then. Tell them
01:19:55what I did. I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia. I didn't see him. The road was
01:20:04empty one minute the next. You were just standing there right in front of me.
01:20:09Who is she talking about? Kimini Bullitt's husband, Lawrence.
01:20:13What? Sylvia? Right. Don't say another word. Alan, call your solicitor.
01:20:18Tell us what happened, Sylvia. Leave my daughter alone. Alan, call Charles now.
01:20:23Josh! I didn't think anyone had seen me, so I drove off, not knowing what to do. I was in such a state, though,
01:20:32I had to pull over, thought I was going to be sick. A few minutes later, there was a tap on the side of the library.
01:20:39Brad had seen what you'd done. He made me pay for his room at Sash's pub. He was really after something else.
01:20:49I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. He wanted to be in the manor. He wanted a portrait of his own. He wanted it all.
01:20:59So he told me I had to make sure you married him. Doesn't anyone want me for who I am?
01:21:06I know. I know, and I hated him so much for it. I wanted to rescue you, Frankie. I wanted so many things.
01:21:13Winter? As I learned at great cost last year, there are certain perennials that shouldn't be planted next to each other.
01:21:19Kimini would know that better than anyone. I think we found Brad's phone.
01:21:24And on it, no doubt, we'll find out why it had to be buried.
01:21:27Mm-hmm. Am I right, Frankie?
01:21:34I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:21:36I know it was you who smashed up Kimini's laptop.
01:21:39Me? I had no idea that even happened.
01:21:42I saw a list of number plates on a document that Kimini 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.
01:22:02And don't think you can get away with this at night, either.
01:22:05I'm on guard 24-7.
01:22:07You took Cordelia's car after everyone had passed out, after your celebrations.
01:22:12You drove it up here, not thinking for a minute that Kimini would still be out monitoring the roads.
01:22:18She was going to post her findings on Monday, and the moment Cordelia received her speeding notice,
01:22:24she would have questioned it.
01:22:26You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:22:31Is this true?
01:22:32Not a word of it.
01:22:33And who stays up half the night looking for speeders?
01:22:36Kimini did.
01:22:37She was heartbroken after Laurence.
01:22:39She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:22:41We know that the cuckoo clock had been moved high enough to kill Brad.
01:22:46And who would have known Brad's height better than you?
01:22:50Try my mother.
01:22:51She seemed to have spent a lot of time with him.
01:22:54Yes, mother, I knew that earring was yours.
01:22:57Would you like to tell us what's on the phone, Frankie?
01:23:01It won't take us long to access it.
01:23:03Well, when you put it like that.
01:23:17Frankie.
01:23:24It was the look on his face that did it.
01:23:26It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:23:29I knew what he was thinking.
01:23:34So I sent him a message.
01:23:36Why don't we steal the clock and run away together?
01:23:40He agreed.
01:23:41Said 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.
01:23:53But sometimes you just know.
01:23:56It was horrible to watch.
01:23:59How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:24:04I didn't matter what time it was.
01:24:09Frankie knew Brad would turn the hour hands to get the cuckoo to come out.
01:24:14regardless.
01:24:15Tell me about Ness.
01:24:16Presumably you saw her up at the house.
01:24:17Kimberly.
01:24:18I just got your message.
01:24:19Oh my God.
01:24:20Are you sure it's her?
01:24:21No.
01:24:22No.
01:24:23No.
01:24:24No.
01:24:25No.
01:24:26No.
01:24:27No.
01:24:28No.
01:24:29No.
01:24:30No.
01:24:31No.
01:24:32No.
01:24:33No.
01:24:34No.
01:24:35No.
01:24:36No.
01:24:37No.
01:24:38No.
01:24:39No.
01:24:40No.
01:24:41No.
01:24:42No.
01:24:43No.
01:24:44No.
01:24:45No.
01:24:46No.
01:24:47No.
01:24:48No.
01:24:49No.
01:24:50No.
01:24:51No.
01:24:52No.
01:24:53No.
01:24:54No.
01:24:55No.
01:24:56No.
01:24:57No.
01:24:58No.
01:24:59No.
01:25:00No.
01:25:01No.
01:25:02No.
01:25:03No.
01:25:04No.
01:25:05No.
01:25:06No.
01:25:07No.
01:25:08No.
01:25:09No.
01:25:10No.
01:25:11No.
01:25:12No.
01:25:13No.
01:25:14No.
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.
01:25:27Sorry, sis.
01:25:29You 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. I 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.
01:25:47Blame them. They 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, not being what Brad wanted.
01:26:01What's a girl to do?
01:26:05Though 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.
01:26:17Oh, how ironic.
01:26:22I don't understand you, Frankie.
01:26:27How could you be saying all these things?
01:26:29As if you didn't have a care in the world.
01:26:31Because I learnt from the worst.
01:26:33If only you and father had wanted me.
01:26:36It's just a simple little thing.
01:26:38Like loving a child.
01:26:40But it was beyond both of you.
01:26:43Both of you.
01:26:48I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:26:52That's it.
01:26:53Almost there.
01:26:54He's doing a grand job.
01:26:55He is.
01:26:56And I have to say, I am deeply impressed.
01:27:00Did you know pergolas and derbors date back to earlier dreams?
01:27:06That's it. Almost there.
01:27:19He's doing a grand job.
01:27:21He is.
01:27:22And I have to say, I am deeply impressed.
01:27:26Did you know pergolas and derbors date back to early Egyptian times?
01:27:31Really? That far?
01:27:32In some societies, there were actually status symbols.
01:27:35Well, the Barnabys are going up in the world.
01:27:40I'd have had that up an hour ago.
01:27:42You'd be moaning about having a strained back by now.
01:27:45I'm just saying, it would have taken me half the time.
01:27:47Don't listen to them, Winter.
01:27:49You're doing a fine job.
01:27:54A very fine job, indeed.
01:28:05Well, now we're going to
01:28:11яmed out.
01:28:12Bye.
01:28:13Bye.
01:28:19Bye.
01:28:20Bye.
