00:00It is so hot tonight. I think I might melt like an ice cream.
00:23Look, I'm sorry about the time, Thomas. I'm finished now.
00:26I don't chat till 10.30. I don't mind how long you stay. It's good to know there is someone else for her to stare at.
00:37Pardon?
00:38Her.
00:42She leaves for Paris tomorrow, and I will not be sad to see her go.
00:49Yeah, Hathor's on tour, the goddess of intoxication.
00:54Oh.
00:55The story goes that the sun god Ra ordered her to destroy all humanity because of their bad behavior.
01:01Oh, mon dieu.
01:03But just at the last minute, Ra changed his mind.
01:05So, he decided to flood a field with beer, and he dyed it red.
01:10So she thought she was gorging on the blood of humankind.
01:14But actually, she was getting very, very drunk.
01:18Humanity was saved by a hangover.
01:21La vache.
01:21Also, rumor has it that every Hathor statue is cursed.
01:30Oh.
01:31Well, like I said, I will be glad to see her leaving.
01:36It looks like your young man is a beer for you.
01:45Oh, no, no.
01:46He's not my young man.
01:47He's just a really good friend.
01:48Oh, oui.
01:49Bien sûr.
01:49Bien sûr.
01:51Yeah, well, thanks, Thomas.
01:52Good night.
01:53Bonne nuit, madame.
01:55Ă€ bientĂ´t.
01:55Ah, she's good friends, huh?
02:07Mmh?
02:07Ah, she's good friends.
02:37Oh, she's good friends.
03:07It's getting exciting, isn't it?
03:22Even better than the ones on the telly.
03:24I wish I'd dressed up a bit now, you know?
03:26What do you mean?
03:28Well, when you see an auction on the telly, the punters all get dressed up, don't they?
03:31Have their hair done.
03:32Well, you're not on the telly.
03:33It's not about being on the telly, is it?
03:35It's out of respect for all the stuff.
03:38I blame you for his recent interest in boxes of rubbish.
03:41Treasure globe, not rubbish.
03:44Thank you so much for this, Jean.
03:46With Jeremy's birthday next week, I just didn't know what to buy him.
03:50Well, when I saw that box of Victorian ephemera, I thought that would be perfect for Jeremy's phantasmagorian room.
03:57Oh, Gloria, I meant to tell you.
03:59Thank you so much for letting us use your fan.
04:01Oh, you're welcome, love.
04:02Mind you, I have no idea where I'm going to put that.
04:05Oh, Jean, by the way, when can I pick up my sapphire necklace?
04:10Now that his daughter is getting married tomorrow, it's supposed to be her something borrowed.
04:13Anytime, he's at the shop.
04:15Mesdames et messieurs, notre dernier lot.
04:18Oh, Jean, I've always wanted to do this.
04:20Can I do the bidding?
04:21Fill your boots.
04:21Nous commençons à 50.
04:27Oui, 50.
04:3060, au fond.
04:3470.
04:3680.
04:3890.
04:47100 euros.
04:48100 euros.
04:51100 euros.
04:59100 euros.
05:00100 euros.
05:04Oh, terribly rude.
05:06You'd never see that happen on the television.
05:14Merci.
05:15Et voilĂ .
05:16Oh, my God.
05:25Mum?
05:38Hey, can I help you sort through the treasure?
05:41If you want.
05:42You have found treasure?
05:42Not really.
05:44It's not the best morning we've ever had.
05:46Athenian red figure.
05:47This is not bad at all, Jean.
05:49530 B.C.
05:51This is everything.
05:52Just a few more boxes.
05:53It's that exciting, isn't it?
05:54Oh, hello, Simone.
06:02Don't worry, love.
06:02Let's call it even.
06:03I'm not here for you.
06:05But I am parched.
06:06I could murder an espresso.
06:11Oh.
06:11Oh.
06:12I will make some coffee.
06:14I will help you.
06:18Jean!
06:18I need a big favour.
06:20And I think you owe me one after practically accusing me of murder last year.
06:23Okay.
06:24Right.
06:24Remember our mums have round the corner from one another?
06:27Yeah, of course.
06:28Okay, now keep up.
06:29This is the box of Victorian ephemera that I won at the auction this morning.
06:33So what's that got to do with our mums?
06:35I'm coming to that.
06:36Well, everyone knows that I'm the only one who collects the weird stuff round day.
06:39And they've slipped something into the box to send me a message.
06:43What?
06:43My mum's ring.
06:47What?
06:48That's your mum's actual ring?
06:50Yes, it's a warning.
06:51Someone at home's after me through my mum.
06:53Are you sure it's her ring?
06:55Absolutely.
06:55Look, it's got her initial on the front.
06:57V for Vera.
06:58And get your loop.
06:59Oh.
07:01Go.
07:04Look on the inside of the ring.
07:09Sing as we go?
07:11Is that the Gracie Fields song?
07:12Look, Rochdale's finest and my mum's favourite.
07:15My dad bought it a year ago.
07:16Oh.
07:18Um, I don't understand.
07:20It's a warning.
07:21And I know exactly who it is.
07:23An old enemy of mine's just got out the clink back in Manchester.
07:26And it's going to take me a few days to put him back in his box.
07:29My cousin's bringing mum out now.
07:30She won't fly, so it'll take ages on the ferry.
07:33She needs to be with me till I sort my dear old friend out.
07:37And?
07:37Well, the thing is, she doesn't know about my, um...
07:42business interests.
07:45Go on.
07:46She, um...
07:47thinks I run an antique shop.
07:51Oh!
07:52Oh, I see.
07:53You want to pretend that you run my antique shop?
07:56Bingo.
07:57Oh.
07:57Is that all?
08:00No protection?
08:01No extortion?
08:02I'm not an animal, Jean.
08:04But if you do this one thing for me, we'll call it even.
08:07Well, that's an offer I can't refuse.
08:10Oh, excuse me.
08:11Bingo.
08:16Hi.
08:18Yeah, yeah, I know it well.
08:21Right, I'll...
08:22I'll be right there.
08:24Okay?
08:25Um...
08:26That was Caron.
08:29There's been an incident at the library.
08:31Can you give me a lift?
08:32Oh, Madeline's at home.
08:33I can drop you off to collector if you like.
08:36Oh, right.
08:36All right.
08:37Okay, um...
08:39So, um...
08:40Mr John Marsden here will be doing a bit of work experience today,
08:43so, um, if you could just show him the ropes, ladies,
08:46that would be great.
08:49Give my regards to Caron.
08:50It is pronounced Caron.
08:54I know, sweetheart.
08:55Just having a laugh.
08:59Hmm.
09:01Oh, she's not worked at Tilt since the fir tree pub
09:03when she was on salad bar.
09:18What on earth is going on?
09:20Thomas was attacked, Jean.
09:24No.
09:26Why?
09:26Is he all right?
09:28He's fighting for his life.
09:30Oh, no.
09:32I'm so sorry.
09:35This could ruin St. Vittor's library.
09:38What do you mean?
09:39We have destroyed one of the rarest figures in Egyptology.
09:43We haven't destroyed anything.
09:45That's how they will see it.
09:46Now listen to me, Suzanne.
09:47We're going to find out who's responsible for this horrific act of sabotage.
09:53Do you hear me?
09:54And we're going to find out who hurt Thomas.
09:58Look.
10:00Let's just decide that Thomas is going to be okay.
10:03And in a couple of months' time,
10:07he'll be back in here,
10:08stinking the place out with his rock fort,
10:10as usual.
10:14Thank you, Jean.
10:16I'll come back later and check on you.
10:18Okay?
10:18I think she's in shock.
10:29What about you?
10:31I think I'm in shock.
10:33Thomas is such a sweetheart.
10:36Which is all the more reason.
10:37We need to find out who is responsible for this.
10:40Yeah.
10:42John.
10:51I really want to give you a hug.
10:54No.
10:55Nobody's watching.
10:58Come here.
11:01No?
11:06Yours, I believe?
11:07Eh, yes.
11:09Yes, sir.
11:10I love watching you do that.
11:13What?
11:14That twisty thing you do
11:15when you pin your hair up in the morning.
11:16It's dead, erm...
11:18Sheik.
11:20That's the first time
11:21I've been called sheik
11:22in my entire life.
11:24Well,
11:25it will not be the last time, Jean, right?
11:27Jean,
11:28we have some information.
11:29Can you come to the station?
11:30Yes.
11:31Yes, of course.
11:32Of course, yes.
11:33Oh, yes.
11:33I'd better get back to work.
11:35I'll speak to you later, Jean.
11:36Yeah?
11:36Yeah.
11:37So, yep.
11:40A neighbor was returning from his night shift
11:42and saw an orange moped
11:43driving away from the library
11:45at midnight last night.
11:46So, this is the CCTV.
11:48Not from near the library,
11:50but around the corner.
11:51It is registered to a Gaynor Smith, English.
11:54She's 18 years old
11:55and lives in university halls.
11:56Right.
11:57So, erm,
11:58how can I help?
11:59I need to interview her,
12:02but I don't want to bring her in.
12:04I think a less formal approach
12:06might be more successful.
12:07Teenage girls have never been
12:09my strong point,
12:10even when I was a teenage boy.
12:13Oh, you want me to come with you?
12:15Oh, of course.
12:17No problem.
12:18We're back through the mists of time.
12:19I once was a teenage girl myself.
12:22Come on, then.
12:23Hello?
12:36Police.
12:37Oh, you better come in.
12:39Hello, I am Inspector Caron.
13:00This is my colleague, Jean White.
13:02Can we come in?
13:04Oui.
13:04They are a bit fragile.
13:12No kidding.
13:13We both speak English.
13:15That would be easier for my colleague.
13:18Your names, please?
13:19Nelly O'Kaz.
13:20Gaynor Smith.
13:22A serious crime was committed last night.
13:25And a bike that is registered to you, Gaynor,
13:27was seen near the scene at midnight.
13:31She's gone.
13:32Cindy has gone.
13:34Oh, God.
13:34Hey, Cindy.
13:35My bike.
13:36That's her name.
13:37Cindy's been stolen.
13:38So your bike has been stolen?
13:40Clearly, yes.
13:41My mom's going to go mad.
13:42It was parked right out there.
13:43Where were you last night?
13:45We had a date with a couple of bottles of vodka.
13:49A bacon sandwich, white bread, and a pint of tea.
13:53Pardon?
13:54Best tango vikio ever.
13:56I'm a vegetarian.
13:57I'm a vegetarian.
14:02Can you prove where you are?
14:06Yes.
14:09Yeah.
14:11Looks like you had a good night.
14:16Ah.
14:16After midnight.
14:18Hmm.
14:19This is my card.
14:24If you could send me those photos,
14:27I will be able to eliminate you from my inquiries.
14:30Okay.
14:31We will seal ourselves out.
14:41Thanks for getting us out of there.
14:42I'm starting to feel a bit queasy myself.
14:43I think I'll go and talk to Suzanne,
14:53see how she's doing.
14:54Good idea.
14:55I will double-check the CCTV pictures.
14:58Keep me updated.
14:59Oh, could you forward me that picture, please?
15:02Of course.
15:03Thanks.
15:10You're an absolute scream, Charlie.
15:11I was just going to say the same, Mr. Maston,
15:13not what I expected at all.
15:15Oh, and we have your lovely Simone in common.
15:17Hey, Simone, tell your Charlie about our high-vis vest scam.
15:22I'm not sure I can remember.
15:23Got us in everywhere.
15:24That you porté un gelé fluo, toi?
15:26Non, comme j'ai dit, je me souviens pas vraiment.
15:29She certainly did,
15:31because I remember saying,
15:31how do you make neon nylon look so good?
15:34And you said,
15:35je la porte Ă l'eau,
15:36comment ne pourrais-t-il pas avoir l'échique?
15:39You say that all of the time.
15:42Does she?
15:43Oh, that's what I loved most about Simone,
15:45the way she owned it.
15:46Oh, no, that's the case, maybe.
15:50Ah, bienvenue chez Brodeur et White.
15:52Merci.
15:54How do you two pop out for a spot of lunch?
15:56I can look after things here.
15:57Oh, that is so kind of you.
15:59Are you sure?
15:59Yeah, of course, I'm sure.
16:00Off you pop.
16:01Okay, I'll grab my bag.
16:02Uh, I'm not too sure we should leave the shop.
16:10Now, now, Simone.
16:11You above anyone should know
16:12I've looked after bigger business than this.
16:14Have a belter of a lunch
16:15and I'll take care of everything here.
16:17Ah, there's just one thing.
16:19These are the, uh, returns from the workshop.
16:23Uh, this is...
16:26Necklace will be collected
16:27by a lady called Judith Lloyd-James.
16:28It is very important to her.
16:30No problem.
16:31Oh, merci.
16:32I'm so relieved I did not forget.
16:34Believe me,
16:35she's not somebody you want to be on the wrong side of.
16:37Well, thanks for the heads up.
16:49So, we're at a dead end
16:51unless you find out who stole that moped.
16:54Who'd steal an orange moped?
16:56What?
16:57It's a bit obvious, isn't it?
16:58What do you mean?
16:59Well, if you're going to nick a moped,
17:01surely you'd choose one
17:02that was a bit less
17:03conspicuous.
17:05Ooh.
17:06Get you, Detective Dom.
17:07Been knocking about with you, I know.
17:08About to rub off at some point, wasn't it?
17:10Is that right?
17:13Come on.
17:21Oh.
17:22Thanks.
17:26How are you doing?
17:32Not good.
17:34I just spoke to Thomas' family.
17:36They are at the hospital now.
17:38I don't know what his wife Maureen would do if he...
17:41Let's think back over the past few weeks.
17:45Now, is there anyone Thomas could have upset?
17:52Well, Thomas could be very verbose, as you know.
17:56And he was a stickler for details.
18:00His visitor's book had to be just so.
18:01Could I have a look at the visitor's book, please?
18:04Yeah, of course.
18:04Let's see.
18:16Black ink only.
18:18Everything in the correct column.
18:22Mais oui.
18:24I forgot.
18:25Dr. Alagaia.
18:26He's a renowned edyptologist at university.
18:28He brought a group of students to look at the statue.
18:31And one of them started to shout about
18:32how disgusting it was for the Louvre
18:34to steal precious items from Egypt.
18:36So what happened?
18:38Thomas tried to calm him down.
18:40But the student kept shouting at Thomas' face
18:41about giving back the stolen goods.
18:44Well, the restitution of artifacts
18:45is a very touchy subject.
18:48It got very heated.
18:50And Dr. Alagaia quickly gathered his group up and left.
18:56Have you got his contact details?
18:58He should be at university
18:59if you want to ask him about it.
19:00Do you think one of his students
19:03could have done such a thing?
19:04I don't know.
19:06But I'm going to find out.
19:08You've got very good taste.
19:10My nan had one of these.
19:11Now, let's get it wrapped up for you.
19:19A positive pleasure.
19:20I'll see you behind the counter.
19:28You're in charge.
19:38I see you.
19:50I'll wait out of here for you.
19:56You sure?
19:57Yeah, I want to give Claudia a ring.
19:58The time difference is about right.
20:00Just, universities always make me feel a bit less than, you know?
20:06How do you mean?
20:07Yeah.
20:08Full of posh people, aren't they?
20:10Don't be daft.
20:11I went to one.
20:12And, you know, all that stuff about astronomy
20:14and every lyric of every song that's ever been written.
20:17Yeah, but that's not clever clever, is it?
20:19That's just because I had a karaoke comp pairing job
20:21when I was younger.
20:22It leaves an indelible mark on the subconscious.
20:24See?
20:25I think you're dead clever.
20:26Mm-hmm.
20:28Thanks.
20:31Later.
20:31Gotcha.
20:47Thank you for seeing me, Dr. Alagaya.
20:49Oh, you caught me between lectures.
20:51Oh, so you lecture in Egyptology?
20:54Yes, specifically on the importance of deities.
20:57Sorry, I'm Jean White.
20:58I'm a specialist in antiques
21:00and sometimes I help police out with their inquiries.
21:03Police?
21:05Yeah.
21:06Um, do you remember the security guard at the library
21:09when you took your students
21:11to see the Hathor statue on tour last week?
21:14How can I forget it?
21:16The students have been told
21:18to keep the politics neutral for the day
21:20and concentrate on the history.
21:22It was so embarrassing.
21:24But surely the police do not need to get involved.
21:28I'm sorry to have to tell you this,
21:30but last night
21:30that security guard
21:32was found unconscious
21:34after a vicious attack.
21:36What?
21:37And, um,
21:38in the attack
21:39the Hathor statue
21:40was found irreversibly damaged.
21:43Hathor?
21:44I mean, this is...
21:45this is tragic.
21:47Are both of these things utterly tragic?
21:49Hmm.
21:51Um,
21:52do you have a list
21:54of the students
21:54that attended the library last week?
21:57Well, like the subject I teach,
21:59I am also a little historic.
22:01I keep paper copies of everything.
22:04Uh,
22:04here we are.
22:06A list of the students who attended.
22:09Oh, great.
22:11Can I keep this?
22:12Of course.
22:13Right.
22:17Is that your son?
22:18Oh, yes.
22:20Matteo.
22:21Very proud he's doing his PhD on Egypt
22:23and their stolen treasures.
22:26He was with me the day at the library.
22:27He did get quite passionate.
22:32But he'd never do anything like this.
22:34Hmm.
22:35And is that your daughter?
22:37No, she's his girlfriend.
22:40She, too, is studying at university.
22:44Oh.
22:45Oh.
22:46You're welcome.
22:55Une bière, s'il vous plaît.
22:57Listen, right, I've got to go, Claudie.
23:15I'll speak to you in a bit.
23:16All right, bye.
23:16Love you, bye.
23:19A girl who lives at the university halls
23:21who was being sassy with Caron this morning
23:23and Dr Allagai's son are in a relationship.
23:26What?
23:26Yeah, I just saw a picture of him together on his desk.
23:29Well, the girl's hair's a bit longer now,
23:31but it's definitely her.
23:32Now, she's got a bedroom next door to Nellie and Gaynor,
23:34the girls who had the moped nicked.
23:36So the girls with the mopeds, the stolen ones?
23:38Yeah.
23:39Just drive.
23:40I'll break it down on the way.
23:41I'll break it down on the way.
23:55Oh, my God.
23:56Oh, my God.
23:58Oh, my God.
23:59She's got a little bit.
23:59I'll break it down on the way.
24:00I'll break it down on the way.
24:01Oh, my God.
24:02Slight hiccup.
24:03Some cheeky monkeys swiped Mrs. Lloyd-James's sapphire necklace
24:06from under my nose.
24:08But don't worry.
24:09I'm just about to get it back.
24:11Stall your friend for me.
24:12I won't be a tick.
24:12Oh, my God.
24:14It's Judith.
24:24Now, remember, Marsden.
24:26Don't go mad.
24:27You've just had this cleaned.
24:38I think you have something that belongs to me, dear.
24:42I'm John Marsden.
25:09I won't repeat it twice.
25:12I'm terribly confused.
25:15I didn't realize that you're John Marsden.
25:17I'm really sorry.
25:18Ah, hello again.
25:34We were just wondering, do you know where your neighbor is?
25:37Lily.
25:38She's probably at her boyfriend's.
25:41Mateo?
25:41Um, well, actually, it was Mateo we wanted to talk to
25:45concerning the theft of Gaynor's moped.
25:48Really?
25:50So, um, do you know where he lives?
25:52Yeah, I'll go and write it down for you now.
25:54Just give me one moment.
25:57Why is that smell?
26:00Students.
26:01Oh.
26:07Merci.
26:08Okay.
26:09Bye.
26:16Carol?
26:17Yeah, I've got Mateo's address.
26:20How much longer, Charlie?
26:22It's nearly 4 p.m.
26:24I wanted to drop it in to her before the rehearsal dinner.
26:28She's marrying an American, so I have no idea what that is,
26:30but I know it begins soon.
26:32And maybe you'd like some more coffee?
26:34Ah, here is Jean's associate now.
26:37Oh, you must be Judith.
26:39Amazing cheekbones.
26:42Sorry about the delay, sweetie,
26:43but I didn't think they'd done a good enough job
26:45for one of Jean's favorite customers.
26:47Here you go.
26:48Oh, how thoughtful.
26:50Thank you so much, Leisha.
26:53Hang on.
26:55Weren't you the chap that pipped me to the post this morning
26:58at the auction, denying my husband his birthday present,
27:01that box of Victorian ephemera...
27:05Sorry about that, my love, but let me put that right.
27:11Are you sure?
27:13Absolutely.
27:14I've got similar ones already.
27:16Well, thank you so much.
27:18My husband will be thrilled.
27:20You must let me pay you something.
27:23Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
27:26Oh, I'm John Marsden.
27:27Well, thank you very much, Mr Marsden.
27:29Well, can I call you John?
27:32You can, yeah, John.
27:34John Marsden.
27:37Thanks.
27:38Thanks.
27:46Whoo!
27:46Whoo!
27:46Whoo!
29:17You've spoken to my father.
29:18Who did this?
29:28You were seen getting very upset in the library that day.
29:31What?
29:32I think you smashed the statue to sabotage the French ownership of it.
29:36That is not true.
29:38But you didn't expect a night watchman and defended yourself by nearly murdering him with the paperweight.
29:43No, no, no, no, no.
29:45You're wrong.
29:46I would never destroy something so precious.
29:48I need to talk to you about something.
29:50What now?
29:51It's very important.
29:54Richard, stop taking your statements, please.
29:56This is a fake.
30:05Look, it's just two pieces stuck together.
30:08It's hollow.
30:09What do you mean, hollow?
30:10In ancient Egypt, the sacred statues were always made in solid bronze.
30:20The hollow casting technique, it didn't come until years later.
30:28I didn't question it before because I just saw the head had fallen off and that can happen to a solid figure.
30:33So where on earth is the real one?
30:35I can hold Matteo on theft of a bike.
30:40We need a search warrant for his flat and now I think his father's house.
30:44Maybe they were in it together for the money?
30:47I can believe passionate sabotage from academics, but not blatant theft.
30:52I just don't think it's about the money for them.
30:54Oh, excuse me.
30:58Oh, I'm so sorry.
31:00I'm going to have to go.
31:01Keep me updated, eh?
31:02Of course.
31:05Quite clever when you think about it, isn't it?
31:18How do you mean?
31:19Well, while you lot were concentrating on the sabotage, the real statue was long gone.
31:25Probably been turned into an ashtray for some dodgy billionaire.
31:30Oh, the horror.
31:31Don't even joke about that.
31:32Gee, my sapphire looks wonderful.
31:37John Marsden went above and beyond.
31:39And he gave me a gift for Jeremy.
31:42It's the box from the auction this morning.
31:46Wow.
31:47This is your lucky day, Judith.
31:49Actually, what is it?
31:51Ah, well, um, this is a box of, um, memento mori.
31:59Ooh, what's memento mori?
32:02Well, um, in Victorian times, it was considered a loving tribute when someone passed away, um, that they were photographed with the, um, with the living.
32:13I mean, one of the people in this photograph is dead.
32:20Yeah.
32:22They would open up their eyes, prop them up on cushions.
32:25So, I just bid good money on pictures of dead people.
32:30Good grief.
32:33If you see this, this deceased lady here, she's less blurry because she's, um, completely still.
32:41Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
32:46Hang on.
32:49Sorry.
32:59Helen.
33:00Helen.
33:04Um, do you mind if we pay someone a visitor?
33:07No.
33:08Oh, hello.
33:13It's me again.
33:14I wondered if I could have a quick word.
33:16This is my partner, Dom.
33:18I mean, my, um, work partner, Dominic.
33:23Yeah, come in.
33:26How's your head?
33:27Uh, a bit better.
33:29I heard about Matteo and the statue.
33:32His girlfriend lives next door, you know.
33:34Is, um, is Nellie around?
33:36Uh, she nipped to the shops for some hangover munchies.
33:38Right, um, um.
33:42Do you remember this picture being taken?
33:51I can't really remember much, if I'm being totally honest.
33:54It turned into a bit of a big night in.
33:56Right.
33:56Okay.
33:56So, you're left-handed?
34:05Yeah, why?
34:06Well, it's just on this photo.
34:10You're holding your drink in your right hand.
34:15Would you do that often?
34:16God, no.
34:19Even drunk.
34:20Well, especially when I'm drunk, I would never use my right hand.
34:22How weird.
34:23Mm.
34:26See, I'm starting to think that you never used your hand at all.
34:30Pardon?
34:32I think you were drugged asleep and propped up in a photograph
34:35to provide someone with an alibi.
34:38Bye.
34:40What?
34:42So, is this, is this Nellie's side of the room?
34:45Yeah.
34:45Well, that's how she picked the lock.
35:03So, that wasn't your hairpin, I found it.
35:06Yours, I believe.
35:07Eh, no, love.
35:09But you were so chuffed that you found it
35:10that I didn't have the heart to tell you
35:11that I only used blonde ones.
35:15Oh, Gaina, can you tell me
35:20as much as you can remember about last night?
35:24Uh, well, after about 9.45, not a lot, really.
35:27Why specifically 9.45?
35:29Well, our takeout arrived at 9.30.
35:31It showed up on my app.
35:33Then we ate and drank more vodka,
35:35but we had loads before.
35:37I honestly can't remember much.
35:39Do you mind if we, um, take a quick look around?
35:41Yeah, help ourselves.
35:42Right.
35:43Don.
35:45I need you to text Nellie.
36:14Tell her the police called about Mateo
36:18and, um, she needs to get to the police station
36:21straight away
36:22to help Jean and Caron with their inquiries.
36:26Okay?
36:28I'm going to go to the police station.
36:33I'm going to see you in the car on the gym.
36:35Thank you for coming so quickly.
36:37There's no problem.
36:38I was at the supermarket.
36:39I'm not sure.
36:41Can I help you?
36:42Can I help you?
36:42You can leave it there.
36:46Come on.
36:46Here.
36:52Come, I'll be right back.
36:54Is this something to do with me?
36:59Take a seat.
37:00how did you know it was some pictures of deceased victorians that gave me the clue
37:17i realized that your alibi photo was fake you'd put gainer's glass in the wrong hand
37:24and your name was on the visitors list when you did your little recce i missed it first time
37:30round because you used your official name helen and not your everyday name nelly i had an anti-nelly
37:36you see and we only ever called her helen when she'd been badly behaved you must have thanked
37:43the heavens when mateo stole gainer's scooter all the heat was off you wasn't it this is how i think
37:52you did it you got your flatmate drunk on vodka well i assume you drank water
38:09and then when your food arrived you slipped her sleeping draft well she would never have tasted
38:13eat it at curry when she was dead asleep around 9 45 you stole the scooter and you went to the library
38:23knowing full well that thomas never locked up before 10 30 pm
38:30so you snuck in and opened the glass box with a hairpin
38:34he then stole the statue and intended to replace it with a broken fake one suggesting sabotage
38:43what are you doing? stop! stop! stop!
38:48but thomas called you
38:52so in a panic you attacked him
38:57i didn't mean that it was an accident
38:59an accident that has left a man fighting for his life
39:03you then rode back to the dorm
39:07and faked the photo implying that you'd been there all night
39:17but why?
39:22we are not going anywhere nelly
39:30just
39:35money
39:36simple
39:39i am on my own in the world
39:43and even with the cheapest accommodation i still
39:47struggle to make ends meet
39:49most students work a part-time job to pay their way
39:52most students have other people helping them
39:54like i said
39:58i have no one
40:06i saw the exhibit on the tours in the library every couple of months
40:15and i thought how easy it would be to steal one
40:17so i i came up with a plan
40:23i knew this one was coming from the louvre
40:26so i did my research
40:30and i found a buyer in paris
40:35it was very easy to find a copy online
40:39and you thought no one in this backwater town would ever know the difference
40:43i never meant to hurt thomas
40:50i am truly sorry for that
40:53not as sorry as his wife maureen
41:04and the dog says
41:09i've had a double
41:11And the doll says, I've had a double.
41:29Right, you sit there, ladies.
41:31I'm going to get some drinks in.
41:32Only champagne's good enough for my mum.
41:36Have you got any more?
41:37No.
41:37A couple of bottles of your finest bubbles, please.
41:49I'm armed.
41:50Put all the money in the box in this bag, it won't be possible.
41:55Hiya.
41:58Not your lucky day, is it, sweetheart?
42:07What a day.
