00:00:00I'll show him.
00:00:08Oh, an absolute disgrace.
00:00:11That's what it is.
00:00:17See how he likes it when no one turns off?
00:00:21This will teach him.
00:00:23Hi.
00:00:29They've been at it all morning. It's killing my business.
00:00:32I've seen. They're all over the village.
00:00:42Blue or grey?
00:00:44I prefer the grey.
00:00:46Hmm. Blue it is, then.
00:00:53Brad!
00:00:54Good, good.
00:00:55Thanks for coming.
00:00:56Did Brad rob a jewellers?
00:00:59I'd have stolen the crown jewels to get Frankie to say yes.
00:01:03What's with your parents?
00:01:06They can't even stretch to real champagne.
00:01:08Well, this is a step up for them.
00:01:10I was expecting tap water.
00:01:12Hi.
00:01:13Oh.
00:01:14Is that okay?
00:01:15Cordelia, hi.
00:01:16I'm not drinking this.
00:01:17It's not real champagne.
00:01:18Oh, thank you.
00:01:19I don't know what you're smiling about.
00:01:20The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:22Fear not, my dear.
00:01:23Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:25Watch that.
00:01:26I'm not smoking this.
00:01:27I know what you're smiling about.
00:01:30The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:33Fear not, my dear.
00:01:34Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:36Watch that.
00:01:37I'm not thinking that you've got to do it.
00:01:38You've got to do it.
00:01:39What am I looking for?
00:01:40it all in hand. What's that mean? Oh, what have you done now? There's nothing else? No, unfortunately not.
00:01:50Oh, they're beautiful. Thank you, Kim and Eve. I was hoping you might hire me to do the flowers
00:01:58on your big day. Yeah, we're not really making any clear-cut decisions yet.
00:02:04It's good to see you. I'm getting a cold.
00:02:10It might be over the moon for Frankie. This is me being over the moon.
00:02:22Who the hell is that? Yes! It's amazing, isn't it? My mum used to tell me about this place.
00:02:33Why have you stopped? Many others can start setting up. Yes. You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:39I can't do this on my own. You're the one who couldn't wait to come here. Not me. Come on, guys!
00:02:47I can't do this on my own.
00:02:47I can't do this on my own.
00:02:49I can't do this on my own.
00:02:51No, I presume. How shall we handle this? Like Livingston and Stanley? It's a bigger moment than that.
00:03:12Oh. Oh, oh. Yes. Um. Girls, I want you to meet your uncle. We don't have an uncle.
00:03:20What on earth is going on? Myrtle, this is my half-brother, Noah. And suffice to say,
00:03:25until recently neither of us knew the other existed. Hi. Well, it's great to meet you all.
00:03:33Oh. I didn't want to turn up empty-handed. Oh, that's, um, that's lovely.
00:03:43Hi. Time starts now, as they say. Oh.
00:03:56Come on, everyone. Let's get a photo of you all by the clock.
00:04:13Oh. Well, it's a big moment. Old family, new family, family of the future.
00:04:21I'm not family. Just smile and say cheese.
00:04:31Love. Hang on. We need the happy couple in the middle.
00:04:35Oh, yeah. Come on.
00:04:37Am I going to get my share? You have your reward for marrying my daughter.
00:04:41That's not what we... Agreed, Alan. It's so, Alan, to you.
00:04:46Oh, very nice.
00:04:49That's it. Well done, everyone.
00:05:11That's it.
00:06:15I thought I was going to build this.
00:06:43Yeah, you did think that.
00:06:46And then I decided it needs doing properly.
00:06:49As you are well aware, my grandfather was a master carpenter.
00:06:53And as a carpenter, you make a brilliant detective.
00:06:56Oh, Winter.
00:07:01Sir.
00:07:02Oh.
00:07:03What are you building?
00:07:04Well, if I do it, it's going to be in Arbor.
00:07:06And if John does it...
00:07:07Presumably, there's a reason you're here this early.
00:07:30Ah, I thought it'd be this place.
00:07:33I almost came here last year.
00:07:34They have an annual flower festival.
00:07:37I don't know you're into horticulture, Winter.
00:07:39I'm not, but this girl I was seeing was...
00:07:41And when you say you almost came here...
00:07:43Well, when she took one look at my house plants, she decided that I wasn't the one for her.
00:07:48Apparently, I put the wrong perennials next to each other in the same pond.
00:07:51Small margins, Winter.
00:07:52Well, how am I supposed to know that some plants don't get on?
00:07:54Looks like more police are arriving.
00:08:04Do you think I should go up there?
00:08:07Then do what?
00:08:08I don't actually know.
00:08:10I mean, how do brothers brother?
00:08:19There.
00:08:20Where did you get to last night?
00:08:31I woke up when you weren't there.
00:08:32I, uh, I had a nightmare.
00:08:34I took a walk to calm down.
00:08:39Look.
00:08:40If your brother needs you, he will tell you.
00:08:50Hello.
00:08:52Here's a new one for you.
00:08:55The poor fellow was pecked to death.
00:08:58Pecked?
00:08:59We didn't realise it was the murder weapon
00:09:02until it struck the hour and stabbed one of my sockers.
00:09:06He's lucky he's tall.
00:09:08Well, taller than the victim.
00:09:10Watch this.
00:09:11Um, better stand back first.
00:09:16Further?
00:09:17Well, I've seen everything now.
00:09:29The victim's name was Brad Furbank, aged 29.
00:09:35Time of death?
00:09:36Judging from his lividity and rigour,
00:09:39I'd say he'd been dead at least five hours.
00:09:41Well, that will put it about three o'clock this morning.
00:09:44Who found him?
00:09:45The lady of the house, Myrtle Bruce.
00:09:48Well, she lives here with her husband, Sir Alan.
00:09:50Where was the clock hanging?
00:09:52It was level with that ghoulish portrait.
00:09:56The cuckoo stabbed Brad, and he came tumbling down the stairs.
00:10:01Well, it seems they were right all along.
00:10:04Time is indeed the enemy.
00:10:06I couldn't believe it.
00:10:12Brad was just lying at the foot of the stairs.
00:10:16What time was this?
00:10:17Probably about seven.
00:10:20You hadn't heard anything before that, say around three this morning?
00:10:24I had a bit too much to drink last night.
00:10:28So I was out like a light.
00:10:30Don't look at me.
00:10:34I tend to sleep the sleep of the just.
00:10:37Quite.
00:10:39Tell me about Brad.
00:10:42Presumably he lived here with you.
00:10:43Oh, goodness, no.
00:10:45He's been staying at the Raging Stag.
00:10:47It's a pub in the village.
00:10:49Would either of you know why he came here in the middle of the night?
00:10:51I hadn't a clue what Brad was doing here.
00:10:59Presumably he was coming to see you.
00:11:01But he knew I was out last night with my friends, carrying on the celebrations.
00:11:07So it was our engagement party yesterday.
00:11:10It's all right.
00:11:12I'm here.
00:11:13When did you get back to Godly Manor?
00:11:15I didn't.
00:11:16My friends and I crashed at Cordelia's flat.
00:11:19I saw it.
00:11:20I can't believe this.
00:11:21I'm sorry.
00:11:22I just have a few more questions.
00:11:26When did you last see Brad?
00:11:28Yesterday evening, before I left with my friends.
00:11:31That was around nine, I think.
00:11:34And did anything untoward happen before then?
00:11:36Does the arrival of an uncle we never knew we had qualify?
00:11:41The clock was a gift.
00:11:43From a brother-in-law I didn't know I had.
00:11:46It's a long story.
00:11:47I'd still like to hear it.
00:11:49Well, my father, Sir Percival Bruce, sired Noah out of wedlock.
00:11:55Noah?
00:11:55Noah Connoboy.
00:11:57Now, I had no idea he existed until the family solicitor told me at my father's funeral.
00:12:03Was this recently?
00:12:04Uh, it was about, uh, six weeks ago.
00:12:07So I asked Brad to search for him.
00:12:10He's very good at the internet.
00:12:11Well, was.
00:12:15So Noah turned up with the clock?
00:12:17Yes.
00:12:17He said that he'd made it especially for the occasion.
00:12:20Shall I save you some time?
00:12:21The only reason Noah's here is to claim his share.
00:12:26Oh, so you think Sir Alan was the intended target?
00:12:29A child of five could tell you that.
00:12:31So, off you trot and go and arrest Noah.
00:12:35He'll be outside, contaminating our grounds.
00:12:37What my darling wife means is that Noah's arrived with his troupe.
00:12:42They put on oldie-worldie woodworking festivals.
00:12:45Very popular, apparently.
00:12:47Brings people from far and wide.
00:12:49So we don't need some limp flower festival when we can replace it with something much more popular.
00:12:55Did Brad work in the village?
00:13:00He could work anywhere.
00:13:02He was in Bitcoin.
00:13:03He was doing really well.
00:13:05Always on his phone, checking the markets.
00:13:07So he didn't have an argument with someone in Godly Buzzards, hey?
00:13:11Brad, never.
00:13:12He was really popular.
00:13:13My sister can vouch for that.
00:13:15He was lovely.
00:13:17Never seen Frankie as happy.
00:13:21You know, I nearly came to the flower festival last year.
00:13:27Would have been a waste of time.
00:13:28It was rained off.
00:13:29Worst thunderstorm in decades.
00:13:31Destroyed all the flower beds.
00:13:33It was an absolute disaster.
00:13:35Well, hopefully it'll be different this year.
00:13:37No chance.
00:13:38The village have boycotted it.
00:13:40Our magnanimous father decided to charge double this year.
00:13:44Which made a lot of people very angry.
00:13:51We're looking for a Noah Connor boy.
00:14:10That will be me.
00:14:11Oh, I saw you earlier.
00:14:12But you were, um, a bit taller.
00:14:15Oh, yeah.
00:14:17Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:14:21Uh, sorry.
00:14:22I'm Nessie.
00:14:24Nessie Copeland.
00:14:25What's happening up at the house?
00:14:27I'm afraid we have reason to believe that, um,
00:14:30Brad Furbank was murdered last night.
00:14:33Murdered?
00:14:34Are you serious?
00:14:36That's awful.
00:14:36And what can you tell us about the cuckoo clock?
00:14:42It tells the time.
00:14:44What else is there to say?
00:14:45Did you build it yourself?
00:14:47I craft everything myself.
00:14:49Sorry, why are you asking about a cuckoo clock?
00:14:52Its spring had been tightened to, uh, a murderous degree.
00:14:56A sharp piece of metal had been attached to the cuckoo's beak.
00:14:59The second it chimed, it sprang out, and...
00:15:03I'm sure you can work out the rest.
00:15:05Hmm.
00:15:05Um, everyone saw the clock yesterday.
00:15:09There wasn't anything attached to the beak.
00:15:11Um, there was a woman taking photos.
00:15:15That'll prove it.
00:15:16Uh, I think she was called Kimony.
00:15:18Runs the flower shop in the village.
00:15:20This has nothing to do with Noah.
00:15:24Did either of you notice anything, um,
00:15:26off at the engagement party?
00:15:28I-I wasn't there.
00:15:30I was here with the others setting up.
00:15:32There's a lot to do.
00:15:33Alan wants me to put on a festival.
00:15:35He couldn't get me here quick enough.
00:15:37Did you know your father owned all of this?
00:15:39I was born in the village.
00:15:41It wasn't long before my mother up sticks.
00:15:44But she often told me about this place.
00:15:47Is that your way of saying that you did know?
00:15:52When you put it like that, I guess it is.
00:15:55Well, sir, Noah could have been trying to kill Sir Alan,
00:16:03because there's obviously something to gain.
00:16:04I can see it now.
00:16:05He-he sneaks back up to the house,
00:16:07rigs the clock,
00:16:07and then potentially inherits the lot.
00:16:09But how would he know Sir Alan was going to get so close to it
00:16:13and at the exact time?
00:16:16Fleur.
00:16:17It's called a dibbler.
00:16:19Say that again.
00:16:19And gardeners use it to make holes in the ground.
00:16:22Oh, thanks as ever, Fleur.
00:16:24I'm still talking.
00:16:25The so-called emeralds in its eyes are paste,
00:16:28and the beak is gold plate.
00:16:31May look a million dollars,
00:16:32but it's worth less than a real cooker.
00:16:38Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak
00:16:40is called a dibbler.
00:16:42Um, what's a dibbler when it's home?
00:16:44If you'd bothered looking after your houseplants, Winter,
00:16:46you would know that a dibbler is a tool that gardeners use.
00:16:50And now murderers, apparently.
00:17:00Sorry, mate.
00:17:01We don't need the extra kegs.
00:17:03Blame the village for boycotting the flower festival.
00:17:06I'm not going to shift a tenth of what I normally do this time of year.
00:17:09Sorry, pal.
00:17:11Mr. Solanke.
00:17:24Were you aware that Brad had gone up to Godly Manor
00:17:28in the early hours of this morning?
00:17:30Did he?
00:17:31I didn't know.
00:17:32When was the last time you saw him?
00:17:34Last night, just before I locked up.
00:17:37Did you notice anything unusual at the engagement party?
00:17:40Not really, no.
00:17:42Well, not unless you count that moment with Kimony.
00:17:46Kimony?
00:17:47Kimony Bullet.
00:17:48Brad told her not to do the flowers for the wedding,
00:17:51and she seemed quite annoyed, but not murderously so.
00:17:56And did you see the clock being hung on the wall?
00:17:58Well, everyone saw it was a work of art.
00:18:01I wish I had skills like that.
00:18:03I can barely put up a shelf.
00:18:05She'd have listened to her mother and done her corset.
00:18:06Thank you, Mr. Solanke.
00:18:08My team will obviously need access to Brad's room.
00:18:12Why he wasn't killed here?
00:18:15Well, we need to go through Brad's things.
00:18:17We're still to locate his phone, for one thing.
00:18:20I see.
00:18:21A problem?
00:18:22No, no.
00:18:23Not at all.
00:18:24Well, there must have been a sale on at the mirror shop.
00:18:45Well, we've got a charger, but still no sign of a phone.
00:18:51Sounds to me like someone doesn't want it to be found.
00:18:56Dr. Perkett?
00:18:57Hey, fever.
00:18:58I know the feeling.
00:18:59There you are.
00:18:59Within five yards of a mustard plant.
00:19:03Diamond?
00:19:04Not real this time.
00:19:06That's probably Frankie's.
00:19:08Brad liked to splash out on her.
00:19:11Please remove yourself, Mr. Solanke.
00:19:13I've never seen anything like this.
00:19:16Well, not for real.
00:19:18It's my mum wanting me to do a course in forensics.
00:19:27Will you be done soon?
00:19:29I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mrs. Solanke.
00:19:32Fleur?
00:19:41We're done.
00:19:43For now.
00:19:48Come on.
00:19:54Come on.
00:19:55Come on.
00:20:02Come on.
00:20:04Come on.
00:20:06Oh, my God.
00:20:36What are you doing, Kimony? It's me.
00:20:43Being you doesn't exonerate you, Sylvia.
00:20:45Brad's just been murdered, for goodness sake.
00:20:47Surely you can be a bit lenient. I'm in shock.
00:20:50Then you shouldn't be out driving in the first place.
00:20:53This isn't just a speeding offence.
00:20:55It's a whole lot more than that.
00:20:57And you know it.
00:21:01Is this you for the rest of your life now?
00:21:04Punishing drivers day and night?
00:21:06I'm close for the day.
00:21:23Kimony Bullet, I take it.
00:21:25The boycott of the flower festival can't be helping business.
00:21:37The village are furious for Sir Alan.
00:21:40He tried to turn a quaint tradition into a corporate cash grab.
00:21:44I heard he doubled the entrance fee.
00:21:45Almost tripled it, if you include having to pay for parking.
00:21:48Oh, which reminds me, I need to make a note of Sylvia's speeding offence.
00:21:54I send them in every Monday, first thing.
00:21:58Noah Connoboy said you took some photos that included the cuckoo clock.
00:22:04Uh, I'll need you to e-mail that to me.
00:22:15Of course.
00:22:20Usually this time of year there's a queue all the way from the green to get in here.
00:22:25You can't have been happy with Sir Alan.
00:22:27That's an understatement.
00:22:28Yet, still, you went to the engagement party.
00:22:33Myrtle and I have been friends for decades.
00:22:35I could hardly let her down on Frankie's big day.
00:22:46Have you sold any of these lately?
00:22:49Who needs a dibbler when there's no flower festival?
00:22:52Thanks to Sir Alan, I couldn't give them away right now.
00:22:55I know a very good jewellery if you want to sell that ring.
00:23:14How could you be so thoughtless?
00:23:15Well, there's no need to bite my head off.
00:23:17We're all trying to process what happened.
00:23:20It's not just you, Frankie.
00:23:21It's a big loss for us as well.
00:23:23This is my pain.
00:23:25It's not yours.
00:23:27Don't you dare try and hijack it.
00:23:28Look, why don't we try to concentrate on the positives?
00:23:31We've got this wonderful festival of wood, thanks to Noah,
00:23:35and we're going to have tons of people streaming in,
00:23:37and that's mainly down to Brad.
00:23:38God rest his soul.
00:23:39My word, these people.
00:23:41No one's going to pay to see a freak show.
00:23:44Au contraire, my dear.
00:23:45It'll be the height of popularity.
00:23:47We were in the middle of talking.
00:23:49I'm sorry, dear.
00:23:49I thought you'd said your piece.
00:23:52Why did it have to be Brad that got killed and not one of you?
00:23:58Come on.
00:23:59Hello.
00:24:00Oh, hello again.
00:24:05How can I help?
00:24:06I do flowers for all occasions.
00:24:10A good thing, too.
00:24:13Now we've got a funeral coming up.
00:24:15Oh, God, I didn't think.
00:24:34Don't worry, I'm teasing.
00:24:35I'm not here about flowers.
00:24:37A little birdie told me you're the head of the village council.
00:24:41Someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:24:43Perfect, because I'd need to know about the grounds at Godly Manor.
00:24:47Only we were due to put on a festival of wood at Badger's Drift a few weeks back,
00:24:52but the village voted against it,
00:24:54even though we were holding our event on private land.
00:24:58Well, there are a few archaic laws floating around.
00:25:02Alan got me here so quickly I didn't have a chance to check.
00:25:06You're putting on a festival at the manor?
00:25:08He said it was to replace a flower day or something.
00:25:13I see.
00:25:15He thinks it could become a permanent thing if it goes well, which it always does.
00:25:20Noah?
00:25:21Sweetheart.
00:25:24Can we get back now?
00:25:25Yes, yes.
00:25:27Be an angel and find out about those bylaws.
00:25:29Sure.
00:25:29Call me back when you get this.
00:25:39I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:43I'm getting bad vibes about this place.
00:25:56I think we should pack up and go.
00:25:58And leave my brother at his lowest ebb.
00:26:02You know why you're really here.
00:26:05He's using you.
00:26:07His flower festival isn't happening,
00:26:08and he needed something to take its place.
00:26:10I wasn't born yesterday, Des.
00:26:13You're happy to be used?
00:26:15Credit me with some brains.
00:26:17I want something out of this as well.
00:26:18Look around.
00:26:21I'm owed half of this.
00:26:23Noah, you promised me.
00:26:25You said it would be two or three days at the most.
00:26:28That was before we got here.
00:26:30Well, I'm not staying here a second longer than I have to.
00:26:32What's got into you?
00:26:33There's someone who grew up around here.
00:26:35I thought he'd enjoy being back.
00:26:38I hate it here.
00:26:40What?
00:26:41Why would you say that?
00:26:43After this weekend, we are leaving.
00:26:45And we are never coming back.
00:26:47I mean it, Noah.
00:26:48I mean it, Noah.
00:27:03Call me back when you get this.
00:27:07I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:27:16Kimmy, I just got your message.
00:27:22Oh, my God.
00:27:24Are you sure it's her?
00:27:27I can't.
00:27:28I just can't.
00:27:30Not while there's breath in my body.
00:27:33You're not working today.
00:27:40Ah, blame Winter for running late.
00:27:43Did you know he got dumped last year
00:27:44because he planted some flowers the wrong way?
00:27:46Oh, it's the little things in life, John.
00:27:48You've got to get them just right.
00:27:50Don't worry.
00:27:51You're getting there.
00:27:52So, what do you think so far would Grandad approve?
00:27:55If you don't mind me saying, it looks a bit lopsided.
00:27:59Very funny.
00:27:59Oh, I see where you've been going wrong.
00:28:04Here, look.
00:28:05You've had this upside down.
00:28:06You tear that and you're in big trouble.
00:28:08Oh, Paddy, Paddy.
00:28:12Oh, Paddy.
00:28:13Ow!
00:28:14No.
00:28:15It's all right.
00:28:17I can dry it off.
00:28:19Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:28:22Did I mention Carpentry's in my jeans?
00:28:25I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:28:27Tell me what's wrong with this picture, Winter.
00:28:37Cuckoo's the only one that's smiling.
00:28:39Mm-hmm.
00:28:41Look at the clock.
00:28:43It's not level with the top of the painting.
00:28:46Fleur said it was level with Sir Alan's portrait,
00:28:48but here it's at least four inches lower.
00:28:50So someone moved it.
00:28:52But look who is level with the portrait.
00:28:55Brad.
00:28:55Brad, which most likely means he was the intended target after all.
00:29:01Well, talking of Brad, sir, here's a strange one.
00:29:03Tech managed to get into his laptop,
00:29:05but as far as they could tell, he wasn't doing anything in Bitcoin.
00:29:08Truth is, he barely had a penny to his name.
00:29:11Then how did he pay for Frankie's engagement rate?
00:29:13Well, there's no sign of it in his accounts or credit card statements.
00:29:17Also, we heard back from his mobile phone provider,
00:29:19and they confirmed that his phone was switched off at the time of the murder.
00:29:22Presumably, they sent over a record of his recent calls
00:29:25and text.
00:29:26Yeah, nothing unusual out of the ordinary.
00:29:31Also, sir, there is this.
00:29:34This was found under Brad's bed at the pub.
00:29:37Now, I presume that it belongs to Frankie,
00:29:39but I think it's worth checking.
00:29:40Did anything come back on Kim and E. Bullitt?
00:29:47Yes.
00:29:48I found out that her husband was killed in a hit and run a year ago.
00:29:52The driver was never traced.
00:29:54That explains the speed gun and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:29:58Intriguingly, the hit and run happened on the same day
00:30:00that the flower festival was rained off.
00:30:04In almost exactly a year to the day,
00:30:07Brad Furbank is pecked to death, as Fleur so eloquently put it.
00:30:12If he didn't know that the emeralds and gold were fake,
00:30:15imagine what seeing them might mean to him.
00:30:18Someone who's not only penniless, but also a proven liar.
00:30:23You mean he went there to steal it?
00:30:25Why else would he be there at three in the morning?
00:30:28So someone booby-trapped the bird and then re-hung the clock,
00:30:31knowing that he would come for it?
00:30:33That's exactly what they did, Winter.
00:30:39I'll speak to Frankie.
00:30:41You talk to her sister, Sylvia.
00:30:43I want to find out what they did or didn't know about Brad.
00:30:48And while you're at it, I need a book.
00:30:52A book?
00:30:53On woodwork.
00:30:59My sweetheart, come along
00:31:01Don't you hear the fawn song
00:31:04The sweet note of the nightingale flow
00:31:08Don't you hear the fawn tale
00:31:11Of the sweet nightingale
00:31:14As she sings in those valleys below
00:31:17As she sings in those valleys below
00:31:24Oh, sorry, we don't open until tomorrow.
00:31:31I'm not a visitor.
00:31:32All the same.
00:31:34I'm Frankie.
00:31:35Oh, I mean Francesca, Bruce, Myrtle and Alan's daughter.
00:31:40Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your fiancé.
00:31:46Oh, thank you.
00:31:49That actually means more than you realise.
00:31:51I'm Nessie, Noah's partner.
00:31:53Noah's partner. Were you looking for him?
00:31:55No.
00:31:56I just needed to go on a wander.
00:31:58How long will you be here for?
00:32:04Oh, hopefully just for the weekend
00:32:07If I can convince Noah.
00:32:09Well, he wants to stay longer.
00:32:11He thinks he can make a permanent home here.
00:32:14Has he told my father that?
00:32:16Doesn't matter if he has.
00:32:18I'm going to convince him to up sticks.
00:32:20Couldn't hit me with you.
00:32:22Could you?
00:32:23That was a joke.
00:32:24Well, sort of.
00:32:26Frankie, if you want to get away, then do it.
00:32:29I did the same myself years ago.
00:32:32Left godly buzzard and never looked back.
00:32:36And now you're the singing stilts lady.
00:32:38And I can see for miles and miles
00:32:40to the horizon and beyond.
00:32:44I'd love to try that one day.
00:32:47Lise?
00:32:52Let's see if you've got a head for heights.
00:32:56Hmm.
00:33:09Wow.
00:33:10You're right.
00:33:11You can see everything.
00:33:15Frankie?
00:33:16You have a moment.
00:33:22Do me a very large favour, Sylvia.
00:33:26Slap these up everywhere.
00:33:29I'm working.
00:33:30Yes, but you also have a civil duty
00:33:32to assist any knight of the realm
00:33:33whenever he should so request.
00:33:35For God's sake, Dad, you're not a sir.
00:33:38Grandad was the sir.
00:33:39You don't inherit that title.
00:33:40You have to have it bestowed.
00:33:42Yes, well, I was a DIY bestowment.
00:33:44Really shot my bloody ear off, actually.
00:33:47Ah!
00:33:47Have you found the culprit?
00:33:48The investigation's still ongoing.
00:33:50Well, chop, chop,
00:33:50because the wonderful Noah's Bar
00:33:52is opening tomorrow morning,
00:33:5410 a.m. sharp.
00:34:00More questions?
00:34:01Yes.
00:34:02Do you mind if I step inside?
00:34:08Miss Bruce,
00:34:09can you start by telling me
00:34:11what you really thought of Brad?
00:34:12And I already made that clear.
00:34:14I liked him.
00:34:16A lot.
00:34:17Presumably, you didn't know
00:34:18that he was a con man and a thief.
00:34:20I'm sorry, he was what?
00:34:22We found antihistamine
00:34:24in Brad's room at the pub.
00:34:26It's for hay fever.
00:34:28What sort on earth was he doing
00:34:29showing up at a flower festival?
00:34:31And that makes him a thief.
00:34:33Well, there's a good chance
00:34:34that he was casing the house
00:34:35with the intention of robbing it later.
00:34:37It's a well-known ploy.
00:34:39Stately homes throw open their doors,
00:34:40but they never truly know
00:34:41who they're inviting inside.
00:34:42Brad did nothing of the sort.
00:34:43All he did was meet my sister
00:34:45and fall madly in love.
00:34:47Or he realized that there was more
00:34:49to gain from seducing Frankie
00:34:50and marrying into the family.
00:34:52Please, stop.
00:34:54This is awful.
00:34:58I've never seen it before.
00:35:01Where did you find it?
00:35:02It was in Brad's room at the pub.
00:35:09This earring.
00:35:12It doesn't mean he was.
00:35:15No, Brad wouldn't do that to me.
00:35:21How did you meet?
00:35:24It was on the eve of last year's
00:35:26War of the Roses festival.
00:35:28We had a private preview.
00:35:29We ended up talking,
00:35:31so I took him on a tour of the house.
00:35:33He asked to see inside?
00:35:35He seemed really keen.
00:35:36I got the impression he liked me.
00:35:41How much did you know
00:35:42about his Bitcoin business?
00:35:44Only what he told me,
00:35:45but he was doing great.
00:35:47I'm afraid he was lying to you, Frankie.
00:35:49He didn't have a penny to his name.
00:35:52Of course he did.
00:35:53Have you seen this ring?
00:35:55Why would you say that?
00:35:56He was overdrawn
00:35:57and owed money everywhere.
00:35:58No, he was always splashing out on me.
00:36:00You need to get your facts straight.
00:36:12Please don't let this be true.
00:36:15It's been hard enough
00:36:16trying to convince my parents
00:36:18I'm worthy of their love,
00:36:19and now this.
00:36:22Is that all you wanted?
00:36:27Only my father's given me a job to do.
00:36:30Were you around when Kim Lee's husband
00:36:31was killed in the hit and run?
00:36:33What's that got to do
00:36:34with what happened to Brad?
00:36:35Well, we're aware
00:36:36that he showed up at Godly Manor
00:36:38the same day that it happened.
00:36:40I remember spotting him with Frankie
00:36:42and wondering who he was,
00:36:43but I didn't give it another thought,
00:36:45not till she introduced him
00:36:46a few weeks later.
00:36:48I need to get on.
00:36:50Oh, and I need a book.
00:36:53On woodwork.
00:36:57Do you have children,
00:37:06Chief Inspector?
00:37:08A daughter.
00:37:11And you love her, right?
00:37:14You love her with every fibre
00:37:16of your being.
00:37:18Well, can you imagine what it's like
00:37:20when the opposite is true?
00:37:22Can you imagine
00:37:24what that would be like
00:37:25for your daughter?
00:37:28I can't see myself
00:37:29being anything other than
00:37:30in awe of her.
00:37:34That's because
00:37:35you didn't bring her
00:37:37into this world
00:37:38for all the wrong reasons.
00:37:42I had a brother,
00:37:43Chief Inspector.
00:37:45Frances.
00:37:46Well, what I mean
00:37:47when I say I had a brother
00:37:48is he died
00:37:50when he was just over a year old.
00:37:52And I was conceived
00:37:54shortly afterwards,
00:37:56but solely
00:37:57in the hope
00:37:58that my parents
00:37:59could somehow
00:38:00recreate him.
00:38:05Myrtle,
00:38:06it was so long ago.
00:38:08I was probably
00:38:09seeing things.
00:38:11Don't backtrack now.
00:38:13Something made you think
00:38:14you saw Aggie Marlowe.
00:38:16Now, what was it?
00:38:17It was the way
00:38:18she wouldn't look at me.
00:38:19Like she didn't want
00:38:21to be recognized.
00:38:24Perhaps you could have
00:38:25her arrested
00:38:25this time around.
00:38:26Oh, what are you
00:38:27talking about?
00:38:28The police said
00:38:29Frances' death
00:38:30was due to natural causes.
00:38:32There's no arrest
00:38:32happening here.
00:38:34No.
00:38:35Sometimes you have
00:38:36to take things
00:38:36into your own hands.
00:38:40You don't mean that,
00:38:41do you?
00:38:43Mattel?
00:38:46You're scaring me.
00:38:47Apparently my parents
00:38:52were out
00:38:53at an afternoon due
00:38:54with my grandfather
00:38:55and when my mother
00:38:57came back
00:38:57she found Frances
00:38:59dead on the floor.
00:39:00He'd fallen out
00:39:00of his cot.
00:39:01They'd left him
00:39:02on his own?
00:39:03No, they had
00:39:03a babysitter,
00:39:04Aggie Marlowe,
00:39:05but she vanished
00:39:07into thin air.
00:39:08Sylvia said it broke
00:39:09my parents in half
00:39:10until one of them
00:39:11had the desperately
00:39:12sad idea
00:39:13of making another
00:39:14Frances.
00:39:17Hence my name.
00:39:19So they went ahead
00:39:21and sadly for them
00:39:24I emerged
00:39:25and that is when
00:39:26they realised
00:39:27that they couldn't
00:39:28get Frances back.
00:39:30But worse
00:39:30because they were
00:39:32saddled with someone
00:39:33every day
00:39:34who reminds them
00:39:36that I'm not
00:39:37their precious son.
00:39:38I'm sorry.
00:39:43I'm sorry.
00:39:43I'm sorry.
00:40:07Oh, my God.
00:40:37Ah, best I could do, sir.
00:40:50Is it for Mrs. B?
00:40:51Oh, thank you, Winter.
00:40:52Yes, Sarah's struggling a bit with the arbor.
00:40:55She even managed to injure her thumb.
00:40:59Well, I'm sure she'd be glad of this.
00:41:01So did Frankie recognize the earring?
00:41:05In a word, no.
00:41:07Oh, well, that puts the cat among the pigeons.
00:41:10Brad must have been seeing someone else.
00:41:14Yes, Winter.
00:41:16OK.
00:41:18Yeah, thanks.
00:41:20Sir, we've had an anonymous call from a withheld number.
00:41:24There's a woman saying that she's very worried
00:41:26about an Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
00:41:30We don't know an Aggie Marlowe, do we?
00:41:33I think we do, Winter.
00:41:35The Aggie is short for Agnes, which
00:41:37can also be shortened to Nessie.
00:41:40Perhaps you should go and have a chat with her.
00:41:43Hmm.
00:42:10Who the hell are you?
00:42:15What are you doing in here?
00:42:17You don't remember.
00:42:21You couldn't keep your hands off me the last time we met.
00:42:25Aggie.
00:42:28This is Frances's room.
00:42:30How dare you?
00:42:32I was looking all over for you, Myrtle.
00:42:35And then I saw Frances's name on the door.
00:42:38And I couldn't help myself.
00:42:40If Myrtle were here, God knows what she would do to you.
00:42:43She's who I came here to see.
00:42:47I'm going to tell her what really happened that day.
00:42:50Noah is dead set on staying here.
00:42:52And the only way I get to stay here with him
00:42:54is if Myrtle and everyone else knows you
00:42:57are the reason why Frances died.
00:42:59As if anyone's going to believe you.
00:43:01And do you know what the best thing is?
00:43:03You brought Noah back here, which
00:43:05means you brought me back here too.
00:43:08But everything comes home to roost eventually.
00:43:10That's enough.
00:43:10I'm not having this.
00:43:11Oh.
00:43:12Agh.
00:43:13Agh.
00:43:14Agh.
00:43:16Agh.
00:43:17Agh.
00:43:18Agh.
00:43:19Agh.
00:43:20Agh.
00:43:21Agh.
00:43:22Agh.
00:43:23Agh.
00:43:24Agh.
00:43:25Agh.
00:43:26Agh.
00:43:27Agh.
00:43:28Agh.
00:43:29Agh.
00:43:30Agh.
00:43:31Agh.
00:43:32Agh.
00:43:33Agh.
00:43:34Agh.
00:43:35Agh.
00:43:36Agh.
00:43:37Agh.
00:43:38Agh.
00:43:40Agh.
00:43:41Agh.
00:43:42Agh.
00:43:43Agh.
00:43:44Agh.
00:43:45You've joined a library.
00:44:08Oh, Winter borrowed it.
00:44:11He said he thought you might need it.
00:44:13That's so nice of him.
00:44:14I thought we could look through it together.
00:44:17Why would we need to do that?
00:44:19When you've got the blood of a master carpenter
00:44:21running through you.
00:44:23You don't need this.
00:44:24Not when it comes so naturally to you.
00:44:27So I'm not to get any splinters.
00:44:38Winter, impeccable timing.
00:44:42Oh, you found Nessie.
00:44:43What does she say?
00:44:48I'll be right there.
00:44:49A little bird tells me, not a cuckoo this time, you were looking for Agnes Marlon.
00:45:04The good news is you found her.
00:45:07But the bad news is someone else found her first.
00:45:11Talk us through it, Fleur.
00:45:13Judging from the angle of the attack, I'd say she was approached from behind and the billhook
00:45:19did the rest.
00:45:20The what?
00:45:21The billhook, Winter.
00:45:23It's a highly versatile cutting tool, my grandfather had one.
00:45:27Same sort of tool you might find in Noah's bark.
00:45:29You look 10% more handsome when you say something intelligent.
00:45:33I'll have to set you brain teasers up the percentage.
00:45:38Time of death, Fleur?
00:45:40I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:45:42And the killer just left the weapon lying around?
00:45:44It was stuffed behind that fallen log over there.
00:45:49Well, let's start with Noah.
00:45:52Before you lope off, she was carrying this.
00:45:56But I wouldn't get too excited.
00:45:58I don't think it's the killer.
00:46:04What the hell?
00:46:06They're not letting the public in.
00:46:08Well, what did you expect?
00:46:10Aggie Marlowe was murdered last night.
00:46:12Yes, that person was a blight on our family.
00:46:14Yes.
00:46:16And, of course, we know who brought her here, don't we?
00:46:19Now, Noah couldn't have possibly known who she was.
00:46:22How do we know that?
00:46:23I don't trust a thing about him.
00:46:25Ever since he arrived, terrible things have happened.
00:46:27Is it really that terrible that Aggie's dead?
00:46:29You know full well what I mean.
00:46:32I want him gone, Alan.
00:46:39Leslie and I were together for years.
00:46:44I saw her at a folk festival.
00:46:49She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever set eyes on.
00:46:53We started chatting and realized we'd both lived
00:46:56in Godly Buzzard once.
00:46:59From that point on, we never left each other's side.
00:47:03Ended up creating all this.
00:47:07Did you know that Nessie had changed her name from Aggie?
00:47:11Aggie?
00:47:12No.
00:47:14She was always Nessie to me.
00:47:15Well, she never mentioned that she used to babysit
00:47:17for the Bruises?
00:47:18She never said a word.
00:47:21She never said a word.
00:47:24How did she react after Brad found you?
00:47:29To be honest, she didn't want me to come here.
00:47:33When we pitched up, she got pretty nervy.
00:47:37Even had a nightmare the first night we stayed here.
00:47:39Had to get up and go for a wonder.
00:47:42Nessie said she never went up to the house.
00:47:44But did she encounter any of the Bruises, other than Frankie?
00:47:49Not that I know of.
00:47:51Can you tell us where you were yesterday evening, Mr. Connaboy?
00:47:59Don't even go there.
00:48:03Nessie was the love of my life.
00:48:07Mr. Connaboy.
00:48:08I was at the pub with Angel.
00:48:17We just finished setting up and deserved a pint or two.
00:48:21Did you say Angel?
00:48:23The axe man.
00:48:25He looks ferocious, but underneath he's a kitten.
00:48:28We believe that a tool from your troop was used in the attack on Nessie.
00:48:33A, um, a billhook.
00:48:35Is there one missing?
00:48:38I'd have to ask around.
00:48:41Anyone could come in and take anything.
00:48:45It's not like we'd lock anything away.
00:49:05Saj, what are you doing?
00:49:18Waiting for you to join me.
00:49:20Here.
00:49:24I don't understand.
00:49:25I want to make a toast to Brad.
00:49:27He lived there for a year and I'm going to miss him.
00:49:30Saj, you may as well know, the police are saying he was a con man.
00:49:35No way.
00:49:36A con man?
00:49:38Did you know?
00:49:39Or ever get a sense of it?
00:49:41Like you said, he was here a whole year.
00:49:43Me?
00:49:44Nah.
00:49:45Poor Frankie.
00:49:48You sure you didn't know?
00:49:50You sure you didn't?
00:49:51What does that mean?
00:49:53I don't know.
00:49:54I always thought you had a bit of a thing for him.
00:49:56A thing?
00:49:57What thing?
00:49:58Why would you say that?
00:49:59Well, you're always so keen on him, always bigging him up.
00:50:03Well, says he's number one fan.
00:50:04Oh, that wasn't me.
00:50:06No way.
00:50:07You fawned all over him.
00:50:08In fact, you changed personality whenever he was around.
00:50:11Aye, well, maybe it's a good thing he's not around anymore, eh?
00:50:20Look at us.
00:50:21This is crazy.
00:50:23None of this matters now, he's gone.
00:50:24I'm sorry.
00:50:29I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:50:32Same.
00:50:34Normal service has resumed.
00:50:41Let's make a different toast, hmm?
00:50:46Out with the bad and all that.
00:50:49Out with the brad, more like.
00:50:51What was Nessie doing out here on her own?
00:50:58Well, maybe she was meeting someone.
00:50:59What, with a teddy bear?
00:51:01Mm.
00:51:02I'll get tech to check out her phone calls and texts.
00:51:05Also, have them chase up the anonymous tip about Aggie Marlow being back in the village.
00:51:13She was killed almost immediately afterwards, so whoever called us was clearly worried.
00:51:18You think one of the Bruce's found out she was back?
00:51:20I'll go and see.
00:51:26This is the last place I saw Francis alive.
00:51:29I gave him a cuddle before Alan and I took Sir Percival to a party.
00:51:33I'll never forgive myself for leaving him.
00:51:40And when you returned home?
00:51:41Uh, I stayed longer than planned.
00:51:44It was Kimini's fault.
00:51:45She can chat for England.
00:51:47Alan had wandered off ages before.
00:51:50When I got back, there was no sign of Aggie anywhere.
00:51:55And then I found Francis.
00:51:58Lying right there.
00:52:00Not moving.
00:52:03Lady Myrtle, did you know that, um, Aggie Marlow was living on your grounds with Noah?
00:52:13Of course I didn't.
00:52:14You never met or saw her?
00:52:16I just said, I didn't know she was back.
00:52:18And trust me, if I had, Aggie would have been dead a lot sooner.
00:52:24I want that woman's body off our land.
00:52:27You know what she did to Myrtle and I?
00:52:29Where were you last night?
00:52:33Are you listening to me, Barnaby?
00:52:36It's Detective Chief Inspector, Barnaby.
00:52:39I was in my bed getting my beauty sleep in preparation for the grand opening,
00:52:43which actually won't be remotely grand now, thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:52:48Were you aware that she was part of Noah's bar?
00:52:51What on earth are you talking about?
00:52:52Well, it turns out she was Noah's partner.
00:52:54Had been for years.
00:52:55My God, you couldn't make it up.
00:52:57Brad didn't happen to find that out when he was searching for Noah.
00:53:00Would I have invited him here if he had?
00:53:03If you wanted revenge for Francis, then yes, that's exactly what you would have done.
00:53:07Look, I invited Noah here simply to raise some cash.
00:53:11My father didn't exactly leave a pot of gold in his will.
00:53:15And these stately homes cost a fortune to maintain.
00:53:18On the outside, it looks like we've won the lottery.
00:53:20On the inside, we can barely afford a ticket.
00:53:22Well, there's still the house and grounds, though.
00:53:25And surely you knew that finding Noah could result in you having to hand over half of everything you'd inherited.
00:53:31You've met him?
00:53:32He's a hippie.
00:53:33They don't belong in houses like this.
00:53:35Anyway, he'll drift away soon enough.
00:53:37Did Brad know you were struggling financially?
00:53:41I admit, I was a little too keen to get Noah here, and someone like Brad might have noted that.
00:53:48Someone like Brad?
00:53:49He was a parasite.
00:53:51I didn't realize at first, but he was a tapeworm eating his way into our family.
00:54:01Sir?
00:54:02I called Saj Solanki, and he said that he remembers seeing Noah and the Axeman in the pub.
00:54:10It seems the Bruce's both had a strong motive for killing Nessie.
00:54:15And Sir Alan had an inkling that Brad wasn't the person he claimed to be.
00:54:20Talking of Brad, we know that he was desperate for money to keep up his lies and lifestyle.
00:54:26So all it would take is for his killer to know that as well.
00:54:29Well, what about the person the diamond earring belongs to?
00:54:34It could be some kind of love rat thing.
00:54:37Elegantly put, Winter?
00:54:38Or Frankie found out that Brad was cheating on her and killed him in a fit of jealousy.
00:54:41I'm sure that's possible in your love rat world.
00:54:44She was also the only member of the Bruce family that we know for certain met Nessie.
00:54:48Ah, and you were doing so well, Winter.
00:54:50But Frankie hadn't been born when Nessie was babysitting for the Bruce's.
00:54:55It's doubtful she'd know her on sight.
00:54:57Now, here's a question for you. How does a penniless man rent a room in a pub for an entire year?
00:55:04Look, Kemeny won't report you for speeding.
00:55:21There are mitigating circumstances just like you told her.
00:55:23You know what she's like. She takes her misery out on anyone she can find.
00:55:29I can't have points on my licence. I could lose my job.
00:55:32Well, come work here then. You'd probably earn more.
00:55:36If this world of woodenness takes off, this place will be packed.
00:55:39It's not the money. I happen to love that job.
00:55:42Oh, Mr. Solanke. A word, if you don't mind.
00:55:46I thought you were all done here.
00:55:50How did Brad pay for his room and board?
00:55:52Like anyone else?
00:55:54He was penniless, Mr. Solanke.
00:55:56We can just go through your books.
00:55:58Right, well, er, thing is, er, hindsight's a great thing, right?
00:56:04But, erm, I kind of let Brad run up a tab.
00:56:08For an entire year.
00:56:10Oh, he was a nice guy. I totally trusted him.
00:56:13Well, tell them, Sylvia, you were always urging Frankie to marry him, man.
00:56:17Who'd yielded on that?
00:56:18Well, we have you.
00:56:21We found this in Brad's room. Have you seen that before?
00:56:25No, sorry.
00:56:27Did Brad ever have anyone other than Frankie back to his room?
00:56:31No, not that I ever saw.
00:56:32Fleur?
00:56:35Believe it or not, we're at the pub right now.
00:56:38We're going to need access to Brad's room again.
00:56:47It'll be fine. Don't worry.
00:57:04Oh, Noah.
00:57:06I'm so sorry. I just heard about Aggie.
00:57:12Aggie?
00:57:12I meant Nessie.
00:57:15You must be devastated.
00:57:18That answers everything.
00:57:21She called herself Nessie, yet you just called her Aggie.
00:57:24I know your big pals with Myrtle, my charming sister-in-law.
00:57:30Did you do the family a favor and tell them who Nessie really was?
00:57:36I think you should leave.
00:57:37I think I should go to the police, don't you?
00:57:42What is it called? Accessory to murder?
00:57:46Go on then. I've done nothing wrong.
00:57:48I'll tell them you clearly recognized her and they'll realize you're the only one who knew who she was.
00:57:55Why are you here? What do you want from me?
00:58:01That's better.
00:58:02I know I got permission to put on my festival, but what if I wanted to set up home there permanently with all my people?
00:58:13That's something else entirely.
00:58:14You're the head of the council. I'm sure you could make it happen.
00:58:17I already hate Sir Alan. I doubt they'd be too fond of you for riding to his rescue.
00:58:22We're talking about my home. A home I've been denied for far too long, so make it happen.
00:58:30What if I can't?
00:58:33This is my birthright and I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of that.
00:58:44What are you doing?
00:58:57What's that for?
00:58:58Dare to explain, Mr. Stelenke?
00:59:01No idea. I was already there when I started running the police.
00:59:06Shall I keep going?
00:59:07Where is this leading flow?
00:59:08I worked on a similar case once. There were mirrors all over the walls in that place as well.
00:59:13Clearly the idea took off.
00:59:15When I first encountered this sort of thing, my boss told me to touch the mirrors with my fingernail.
00:59:20And my fingernail touched its reflection.
00:59:23What else would it touch?
00:59:25Index finger please, Winter.
00:59:31I promise not to bite.
00:59:34If it were a normal mirror, your fingernail and its reflection would never meet.
00:59:38There'll always be a gap like so.
00:59:41But with a two-way mirror, finger touch his finger.
00:59:48And they're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Stelenke?
00:59:51It's for security purposes.
01:00:05Try again, Mr. Stelenke.
01:00:06Look, a lot of people book into hotels and not just to sleep.
01:00:14They meet up with lovers. Some of them do secret deals.
01:00:17I've heard them on the phone lying about their whereabouts. The list goes on.
01:00:22Half the people that come in here are up to no good.
01:00:25So you thought you'd make some money out of it?
01:00:29When did Brad find out you were doing this?
01:00:31First night he stayed, he accidentally knocked over the mirror onto the floor and he saw the camera behind it.
01:00:38But he didn't report you?
01:00:39He told me to lose the cameras in his room and keep the rest in the other rooms.
01:00:44He wanted in on it. In fact, he took over.
01:00:47Made me blackmail everyone that I could.
01:00:49And for the last year, he's lived here rent-free in exchange for his silence?
01:00:54He's bled me dry in every way you can imagine.
01:00:57Including forcing you to buy Frankie's engagement ring?
01:01:02Well, how do you know that?
01:01:04We didn't until now.
01:01:06We'll need to look into Mr. Stelenke's finances.
01:01:10Am I going to prison for this?
01:01:12At the moment, I'm more interested in who Brad was seeing behind Frankie's back.
01:01:17Well, he wasn't seeing anyone.
01:01:19You're in enough trouble as it is, Mr. Stelenke.
01:01:21I couldn't see anything before because then you'd come back and ask for proof and then you'd...
01:01:27Find out what you've been doing.
01:01:31She used to come in the back way.
01:01:33Obviously didn't know I had a hidden camera outside, but it was...
01:01:36Sylvia Bruce.
01:01:38Sylvia? No.
01:01:40It was her mum, Myrto.
01:01:51Look at these idiots, sir.
01:02:08She can't get me a ticket.
01:02:10This is official police business.
01:02:12So is this.
01:02:13Just so you know, you can pass on my information, but it'll be up to the police if they decide to prosecute or not.
01:02:18And, well, I am the police.
01:02:22Well, we'll find out on Monday when I send in my data whether that helps or not.
01:02:31When will you ever learn, Cordelia, it's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:02:38And don't think you can get away with this at night either.
01:02:41I'm on guard 24-7.
01:02:43Sorry, Kimmy.
01:02:45Okay, I was on the fine.
01:02:46I can't.
01:02:49Someone needs to take that speed gun off her.
01:02:52Drive on, Winter.
01:02:53Slowly.
01:03:05Would you like to know where we found this?
01:03:07You should know that Brad never loved Frankie.
01:03:15I mean, how could he?
01:03:17She's quite unlovable.
01:03:18Alan and I tried for years.
01:03:21When did you and Brad start seeing each other?
01:03:24Months ago.
01:03:25I rather felt for him, all that pretending he had to do.
01:03:29So the affair was still going on even at the engagement party.
01:03:32Did Sir Alan know?
01:03:33Yeah, it doesn't matter if he did or he didn't.
01:03:36He disappeared the night Francis died.
01:03:39There's more life in his portrait.
01:03:40When did you last see Brad?
01:03:43When he was lying dead in our hallway.
01:03:45Lady Myrtle?
01:03:47At the engagement party.
01:03:49And you were never worried that Saj would see you at the pub and tell Frankie?
01:03:53I didn't go there often and Brad seemed to have some hold over Saj.
01:03:58She said he wouldn't say a word if he knew what was good for him.
01:04:00Sadly for you, he can say whatever he wants now.
01:04:04What are you talking about?
01:04:05Saj has CCTV footage of you two arguing outside his pub the day before Brad died.
01:04:11What was the argument about?
01:04:13He'd found out that Alan and I aren't exactly wealthy.
01:04:17He was furious. He said I'd been leading him on.
01:04:20Did he break up with you?
01:04:21He threatened to.
01:04:22How did you feel about that?
01:04:24How do you think?
01:04:25Did you get the dibbler from Kim and his shop?
01:04:28Call in to see her and slip one into your pocket?
01:04:30I wouldn't know a dibbler from a punch on the nose.
01:04:33And then you rigged the clock?
01:04:34Oh, this is ridiculous.
01:04:36Murder very often is Lady Myrtle.
01:04:41You're not going to bring Lady Myrtle in, sir.
01:04:43Sir Alan has already given her an alibi for the night Brad was killed.
01:04:47We need something concrete.
01:04:50T.S. Winter.
01:04:52Oh, okay. That was quick.
01:04:55Thanks.
01:04:55Sir, Tech have managed to trace the anonymous call regarding Aggie Marlowe.
01:05:01It was from Kimony Bullet.
01:05:03Oh, of course it was.
01:05:05And we already know she likes to share her findings with the police.
01:05:09Hop over to her shop and find out if she told anyone else.
01:05:13She was obviously worried about what might happen.
01:05:30Get down to her, Anthony.
01:05:31Let's get out of here.
01:05:32That's what we're looking for.
01:05:33Let's go.
01:05:36Hello?
01:05:42You could have picked somewhere more accessible.
01:05:45He could have been somewhere more accessible.
01:05:48I never liked that hill.
01:06:15There you are.
01:06:18Let me just catch my breath.
01:06:45How's your thumb?
01:07:09Throbbing.
01:07:13Do you really think you can put that arbor together?
01:07:16Only I don't want it suddenly collapsing on Betty or her friends or on me, for that matter.
01:07:21That arbor will still be standing a hundred years from now.
01:07:25A monument to the inherited skills of a master craftsman.
01:07:31Right.
01:07:43What's that around her mouth?
01:07:56Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue, super strong.
01:08:06I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:08:08It looks like someone stuck her to the chair and then, if I'm right, they force-fed her with whatever was left in the glue gun.
01:08:16That's also covered in glue.
01:08:18Whoever it was tried to make it cosy and inviting.
01:08:22If only.
01:08:23Any idea where the chairs came from?
01:08:25Jetting from the finish?
01:08:26I'd say a craftsman, by that.
01:08:29I'd say a craftsman, by that.
01:08:46Would you like a ticket?
01:08:48I'm afraid Kiminy Bullock was killed sometime last night.
01:09:11My God.
01:09:13I was wondering what had happened.
01:09:16Were you at the house?
01:09:18No.
01:09:19I stayed here last night.
01:09:21Now he's a bit lost right now, obviously, so I thought I could be there for him.
01:09:26You didn't see or hear anything?
01:09:29No.
01:09:30Sorry.
01:09:31This is awful.
01:09:33I've known Kiminy my whole life.
01:09:39Excuse me.
01:09:46Wood is so much more than we think it is.
01:10:03It has sheltered us, defended us, given up its body to us.
01:10:09Yes, she came up with that.
01:10:12All of this was her idea.
01:10:15Show people how much they can learn and benefit from nature.
01:10:19And turn it into furniture.
01:10:21Namely, a pair of chairs.
01:10:25If you're looking to pin this on me, anyone could have come in here.
01:10:29You really shouldn't try locking things away, Mr. Connoboy.
01:10:31Someone needs to go and tell the crowds we won't be opening any time soon.
01:10:36They'll have to come back next year.
01:10:38You're planning on returning?
01:10:40I'm not actually planning on leaving.
01:10:43I was born here.
01:10:45Nessie was born here.
01:10:47I belong here.
01:11:01Hi, sir.
01:11:02Yeah, I'm in Kiminy's shop.
01:11:04Someone's been in here and...
01:11:06Looks like they've smashed up our laptop.
01:11:10Yeah.
01:11:12Is there anyone Kiminy might have upset recently?
01:11:21If there was, she didn't tell me.
01:11:24We know she left an anonymous tip-off about Aggie Marlow being back in Godly Buzzard.
01:11:30Did she happen to tell you as well?
01:11:32As I've already said, that wouldn't have gone well for Aggie.
01:11:35Is that why Kiminy decided to contact us?
01:11:38You met her. She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:11:44Talking of which, did she ever mention the hit and run?
01:11:47Only to the point of boredom.
01:11:49More recently, I mean, as in had she found out who killed her husband?
01:11:53No, she'd have said.
01:11:54In fact, she'd have screamed it from the rooftops.
01:11:59We know that Brad checked into Saj's pub on the same night that Kiminy's husband was killed.
01:12:05Before you fall down that rabbit hole, Brad got a puncture up at the house and walked down to the village.
01:12:11He couldn't have run anyone over, let alone Kim and his husband.
01:12:20I don't suppose I could have Francis's teddy.
01:12:22Only Kiminy bought that for him.
01:12:24It feels so wrong that Aggie took it.
01:12:27How did you know about the teddy bear?
01:12:33We deliberately withheld that information.
01:12:36Alan told me he must have let it slip, Chief Inspector.
01:12:39Charles, how good of you to call.
01:12:54Now, I may need you to sue the police for loss of earnings.
01:12:58Yes, that's right. The police.
01:13:01I'll send you an email with all the details. Speak soon.
01:13:04Well, that should shrink your annual budget.
01:13:09How did you know about Aggie Marlowe taking Francis's teddy bear?
01:13:14You told your wife, remember?
01:13:16Well, I probably picked it up off of one of you lot.
01:13:20Aggie must have gone up to Francis's room.
01:13:24I think you saw her.
01:13:25You're an absolute balderdash.
01:13:27Why would she go up there?
01:13:28I didn't know she had.
01:13:29It seems a strange place to return to, considering the circumstances.
01:13:34Or was she coming to see you and Lady Myrtle?
01:13:36I very much doubt it.
01:13:39She'd been avoiding being seen, yet she felt confident enough to come to the house.
01:13:45The place where she'd apparently left a child to die.
01:13:48I'm afraid I can't answer for her actions.
01:13:51I happen to think you can.
01:13:54What really happened on the day your son died?
01:13:56I'd really rather not go back there.
01:13:58It's still exceedingly raw, even after all these years.
01:14:03I know that you and your wife went to a party with your father.
01:14:08She said that she came back alone, which implies that either you were still at the party,
01:14:13or you'd already left.
01:14:15I stayed till the bitter end.
01:14:17Then you would have seen both Lady Myrtle and Kimeny, because they stayed late as well.
01:14:26You've spent a long time living with this, Sir Alan.
01:14:36She was extremely attractive back then.
01:14:39And I was only a little older than her.
01:14:43In your eyes, perhaps?
01:14:46And I'd been drinking.
01:14:48And you know, sometimes on those odd occasions when you have a romantic thought,
01:14:52and then that thought becomes a possibility, and then before you know where you are,
01:14:56it's a cast iron certainty.
01:14:58And I was Sir Percival's son. How could she not be impressed?
01:15:02But Aggie wasn't impressed, was she?
01:15:04Well, she tried to be polite, and I went along with it at first,
01:15:08but then I said we hadn't got much time, and perhaps we should move things forward.
01:15:12Well, she was appalled.
01:15:15Said she wanted to go and check on Francis.
01:15:17He was crying, and, er...
01:15:20I-I stopped her.
01:15:22I didn't let her see him.
01:15:25For how long?
01:15:27Well, I thought I heard a thump or a thud or something,
01:15:31but I-I just ignored it, because I had other things on my mind.
01:15:36And Aggie heard it too, and told me to open the door.
01:15:39She said it over and over again, and when I refused, she slapped me, and then she dodged by me.
01:15:44And her first thought was to go and check on Francis.
01:15:48And that's when I heard her scream.
01:15:51And by the time you got there...
01:15:55Well, to my eternal shame, I blamed her.
01:15:58I-I said it was all her fault, and that I would see her locked up for life.
01:16:05So she ran, knowing that no one would believe her word against yours,
01:16:11the son of Sir Percival Bruce.
01:16:14She came to see me a few nights ago.
01:16:17She told me she was going to tell Myrtle the truth.
01:16:19Well, everybody, in fact.
01:16:21And why now, after all this time?
01:16:23What do you want to tell him?
01:16:24Well, Noah wants to set up permanent residence on the grounds,
01:16:27but I didn't kill her, I swear.
01:16:29I didn't even try to get that damn Teddy back.
01:16:33I just stood there, frozen,
01:16:36in this pathetic excuse that I call my life.
01:16:40Winter.
01:16:41Sir, I looked into Saj's financials, like you said,
01:16:43and the odd thing was that Sylvia paid for Brad's room
01:16:45the night he turned up in Godly Buzzard.
01:16:46But she said that she didn't meet him that day.
01:16:47I think we'd better talk to her.
01:16:48Mm.
01:16:49Also, Fleur's tech team found a smudge of blue
01:17:15a smudge of blue ink on Kimini's laptop.
01:17:17It was only tiny, but she's going to run it.
01:17:19I tell her there's no name.
01:17:21Yeah, I already have, sir, because it's probably
01:17:23from the stamp that Sylvia uses in her library.
01:17:26You won't jump ahead of me, Winter.
01:17:27There is a first time for everything, sir.
01:17:30You should get a bonus for all the things you've taught me.
01:17:34Did Tech have any luck with Kimini's laptop?
01:17:36They managed to retrieve most of the data.
01:17:38It was just the speeding reports that she'd been filing.
01:17:41And I see.
01:17:45Yeah, I should go and talk to her before she heads off.
01:17:56Sylvia, I wanted to ask, why did you pay for Brad's room
01:17:59the night that the flower festival was rained off?
01:18:03You said that you hadn't met him that day.
01:18:05Sylvia?
01:18:08Sylvia?
01:18:15Put your foot down, Winter.
01:18:32Can't get around her, sir.
01:18:33See if there's somewhere to pass up ahead.
01:18:35Oh, following me!
01:18:37What's she doing?
01:18:39Where's she going?
01:18:40She's on her way to Godly Manor.
01:18:44You can't go and live with that excuse for an uncle!
01:18:47I can do what the hell I like.
01:18:49Noah's going to try and take all of this from us.
01:18:51It's not just the grounds he wants.
01:18:52He'll come for his share of the house.
01:18:54And you think I'm on your side?
01:18:56I hope he gets the lot.
01:18:58Frankie.
01:19:00Frankie!
01:19:01You can do something for me, Ollie.
01:19:03Yeah, yeah.
01:19:07No, no!
01:19:08Just head over the gate, sir.
01:19:09She's going to go straight through them, sir.
01:19:15Frankie!
01:19:16Sylvia!
01:19:30What are you doing?
01:19:31They know what I did.
01:19:34Pull yourself together, Sylvia.
01:19:35I killed him, Mother.
01:19:37I killed him.
01:19:39What the hell is going on?
01:19:46Shaking like a leaf.
01:19:51Sylvia, I don't understand.
01:19:53Ask them.
01:19:55They know.
01:19:56Stop saying that.
01:19:57Will somebody talk to me?
01:19:59Tell them, then.
01:20:00Tell them what I did.
01:20:01I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia.
01:20:06I didn't see him.
01:20:09The road was empty one minute the next.
01:20:11He was just standing there right in front of me.
01:20:14Who is she talking about?
01:20:16Kimmy Bullitt's husband, Lawrence.
01:20:18What?
01:20:19Sylvia?
01:20:20Right, don't say another word.
01:20:22Alan, call your solicitor.
01:20:23Tell us what happened, Sylvia.
01:20:25Leave my daughter alone.
01:20:27Alan, call Charles now.
01:20:29Josh!
01:20:30I didn't think anyone had seen me,
01:20:32so I drove off, not knowing what to do.
01:20:36I was in such a state, though.
01:20:38I had to pull over, thought I was going to be sick.
01:20:41A few minutes later, there was a tap on the side of the library.
01:20:44Brad had seen what you'd done.
01:20:47He made me pay for his room at Sash's pub.
01:20:50He was really after something else.
01:20:54I'm so sorry.
01:20:56I'm so sorry.
01:20:57He wanted to be in the manor.
01:21:01He wanted a portrait of his own.
01:21:02He wanted it all.
01:21:04So he told me I had to make sure you married him.
01:21:09Doesn't anyone want me for who I am?
01:21:11I know.
01:21:13I know, and I hated him so much for it.
01:21:15I wanted to rescue you, Frankie.
01:21:17I wanted so many things.
01:21:18Winter?
01:21:19As I learned at great cost last year,
01:21:21there are certain perennials that shouldn't be planted next to each other.
01:21:24Kimini would know that better than anyone.
01:21:27I think we found Brad's phone.
01:21:30And on it, no doubt, we'll find out why it had to be buried.
01:21:33Mm-hmm.
01:21:34Am I right, Frankie?
01:21:39I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:21:41I know it was you who smashed up Kimini's laptop.
01:21:44Me?
01:21:45I had no idea that even happened.
01:21:47I saw a list of number plates on a document that Kimini was putting together.
01:21:52Your friend Cordelia's number plate was on it, along with a date and time.
01:21:56Then talk to Cordelia, not me.
01:21:58Ironically, that was actually the very thing you were trying to prevent.
01:22:02When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:22:05It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:22:08And don't think you can get away with this at night, either.
01:22:10I'm on guard, 24-7.
01:22:12You took Cordelia's car after everyone had passed out, after your celebrations.
01:22:18You drove it up here, not thinking for a minute that Kimini would still be out monitoring the roads.
01:22:24She was going to post her findings on Monday, and the moment Cordelia received her speeding notice,
01:22:30she would have questioned it.
01:22:32You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:22:34Is this true?
01:22:38Not a word of it.
01:22:39And who stays up half the night looking for speeders?
01:22:42Kimini did.
01:22:43She was heartbroken after Lauren.
01:22:45She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:22:47We know that the cuckoo clock had been moved high enough to kill Brad.
01:22:52And who would have known Brad's height better than you?
01:22:55Try my mother.
01:22:57She seemed to have spent a lot of time with him.
01:22:59Um, yes, Mother, I knew that earring was yours.
01:23:03Would you like to tell us what's on the phone, Frankie?
01:23:07It won't take us long to access it.
01:23:13Oh.
01:23:20Well, when you put it like that.
01:23:23Frankie.
01:23:29It was the look on his face that did it.
01:23:32It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:23:37I knew what he was thinking.
01:23:39So I sent him a message.
01:23:42Why don't we steal the clock and run away together?
01:23:46He agreed.
01:23:47Said we should do it after things had died down.
01:23:49But you came up here and rigged the clock.
01:23:51Because I knew he was lying.
01:23:53He wanted it all for himself.
01:23:55I hoped I was wrong.
01:23:59But sometimes you just know.
01:24:01It was horrible to watch.
01:24:03How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:24:25I didn't matter what time it was.
01:24:27Frankie knew Brad would turn the hour hands to get the cuckoo to come out regardless.
01:24:36Tell me about Ness.
01:24:38Presumably you saw her up at the house.
01:24:41Kimberly, I just got your message.
01:24:44Oh, my God.
01:24:47Are you sure it's her?
01:24:50I can't.
01:24:51I just can't.
01:24:52Not while there's breath in my body.
01:24:54I hadn't a clue who my mother was talking about.
01:24:56Until you realised there was only one person your mother could hate that much.
01:25:01Aggie Marlowe.
01:25:03And there she was.
01:25:05Carrying Francis' teddy.
01:25:07So you took revenge for your brother.
01:25:10How could I not?
01:25:11She's responsible for this nightmare I call my life.
01:25:16Only she wasn't.
01:25:18What?
01:25:19I suggest you speak to Sir Alan about that.
01:25:24I'm curious about the blue ink on Kim and his laptop.
01:25:27Presumably you wanted to throw us off the trail.
01:25:32Sorry, sis.
01:25:35You all but forced me into loving Brad.
01:25:37It was his doing, not mine.
01:25:39But I didn't know that, did I?
01:25:41I believed every word he said.
01:25:43I'm your sister.
01:25:44I was put in a horrible position.
01:25:45Well, you want to know about horrible positions?
01:25:48Try killing three people.
01:25:50Most people would have just called off the engagement.
01:25:53Blame them.
01:25:54They made me that way.
01:25:55I grew up being rejected for not being what they desperately wanted.
01:25:59And there I was again.
01:26:01Not being what Brad wanted.
01:26:03What's a girl to do?
01:26:11Though I rather hoped I was always one step ahead of you.
01:26:14If it's any consolation, you were.
01:26:20But you always saw the wood despite the trees.
01:26:26Oh, how ironic.
01:26:30I don't understand you, Frankie.
01:26:33How could you be saying all these things?
01:26:35As if you didn't have a care in the world.
01:26:37Because I learnt from the worst.
01:26:38If only you and father had wanted me.
01:26:41It's just a simple, little thing.
01:26:44Like loving a child.
01:26:46But it was beyond both of you.
01:26:54I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:26:57I hope your daughter turns out to be one another.
01:27:19That's it.
01:27:21Almost there.
01:27:25He's doing a grand job.
01:27:26He is.
01:27:28And I have to say, I am deeply impressed.
01:27:31Did you know pergolas and arbors date back to early Egyptian times?
01:27:36Really? That far?
01:27:37In some societies, there were actually status symbols.
01:27:40Well, the Barnabys are going up in the world.
01:27:44I'd have had that up an hour ago.
01:27:47You'd be moaning about having a strained bat by now.
01:27:49I'm just saying, it would have taken me half the time.
01:27:52Don't listen to them, Winter.
01:27:54You're doing a fine job.
01:27:58A very fine job, indeed.
01:28:01Mm.
01:28:04Whoa.
01:28:06Oh.
01:28:08Mm.
01:28:10Mm.
