00:00It is so hot tonight. I think I might melt like an ice cream.
00:18Look, I'm sorry about the time, Thomas. I'm finished now.
00:21Sanofarien? I don't chat till 10.30.
00:25I don't mind how long you stay. It's good to know there is someone else.
00:30Rare to stare at. Pardon?
00:33Rare.
00:37She leaves for Paris tomorrow, and I will not be sad to see her go.
00:44Yeah, Hathor's on tour, the goddess of intoxication.
00:49The story goes that the sun god Ra ordered her to destroy all humanity because of their bad behavior.
00:56Oh, my God!
00:57But just at the last minute, Ra changed his mind.
01:01So, he decided to flood a field with beer, and he dyed it red.
01:05So she thought she was gorging on the blood of humankind.
01:09But actually, she was getting very, very drunk.
01:13Humanity was saved by a hangover.
01:16Lavash!
01:16Also, rumour has it that every Hathor statue is cursed.
01:25Oh!
01:26Well, like I said, I will be glad to see her leaving.
01:31It looks like your young man is here for you.
01:40Oh, no, no, he's not my young man.
01:42He's just a really good friend.
01:43Oh, yes, you too.
01:46Yeah, well, thanks, Thomas.
01:47Good night.
01:48Boni, madame.
01:49A bientôt.
02:01Just good friends, eh?
02:02Mm-hmm.
03:33I blame you for his recent interest in boxes of rubbish.
03:36Treasure globe, not rubbish.
03:39Thank you so much for this, Jean.
03:41With Jeremy's birthday next week, I just didn't know what to buy him.
03:46Well, when I saw that box of Victorian ephemera, I thought that would be perfect for Jeremy's phantasmagoria room.
03:51Oh, Gloria, I meant to tell you.
03:54Thank you so much for letting me use your fan.
03:56Oh, you're welcome, love.
03:58Mind you, I've no idea where I'm going to put that.
04:01Oh, Jean, by the way, when can I pick up my sapphire necklace?
04:05Nancy's daughter's getting married tomorrow.
04:06It's supposed to be her something borrowed.
04:08Anytime.
04:09It's at the shop.
04:09Ladies and gentlemen, our last lot.
04:13Oh, Jean, I've always wanted to do this.
04:15Can I do the bidding?
04:16Fill your boots.
04:17We'll start at 50.
04:22Yes, 50.
04:2560, at the bottom.
04:2970.
04:3180.
04:3390.
04:42100 euros.
04:47100 euros.
04:54Adulge, 100 euros.
04:59Oh, terribly rude.
05:02You'd never see that happen on the totes.
05:09Merci.
05:10Et voilà.
05:15Oh, my God.
05:17Mum?
05:33Hey, can I help you sort through the treasure?
05:36If you want.
05:37You have found treasure?
05:38Not really.
05:39It's not the best morning we've ever had.
05:41Athenian red figure?
05:42This not bad at all, Jean.
05:43530 BC, this is everything.
05:47Just a few more boxes.
05:48It's that exciting, isn't it?
05:55Oh, hello, Simone.
05:57Don't worry, love.
05:57Let's call it even.
05:58I'm not here for you.
05:59But I am parched.
06:01I could murder an espresso.
06:06Oh.
06:06Oh.
06:07I will make some coffee.
06:09I will help you.
06:13Jean!
06:13I need a big favour.
06:15And I think you owe me one after practically accusing me of murder last year.
06:18Okay.
06:19Right.
06:19Remember our mums have round the corner from one another.
06:22Yeah, of course.
06:23Okay, now keep up.
06:24This is the box of Victorian ephemera that I won at the auction this morning.
06:28So what's that got to do with our mums?
06:30I'm coming to that.
06:31Well, everyone knows that I'm the only one who collects the weird stuff round day.
06:34And they've slipped something into the box to send me a message.
06:38What?
06:40My mum's ring.
06:42What?
06:43That's your mum's actual ring?
06:45Yes, it's a warning.
06:46Someone at home's after me through my mum.
06:48Are you sure it's her ring?
06:50Absolutely.
06:50Look, it's got her initial on the front.
06:52V for Vera.
06:53And, get your loop.
06:54Oh.
06:56Go.
06:59Look on the inside of the ring.
07:04Seeing as we go.
07:06Is that the Gracie Fields song?
07:08Rochdale's finest and my mum's favourite.
07:10My dad bought it years ago.
07:11Oh.
07:13Um, I don't understand.
07:15It's a warning.
07:16And I know exactly who it is.
07:18An old enemy of mine's just got out the clink back in Manchester.
07:21And it's going to take me a few days to put him back in his box.
07:24My cousin's bringing mum out now.
07:25She won't fly, so it'll take ages on the ferry.
07:28She needs to be with me till I sort my dear old friend out.
07:32And?
07:32Well, the thing is, she doesn't know about my, um, business interests.
07:40Go on.
07:41She, um, thinks I run an antique shop.
07:44Oh.
07:47Oh, I see.
07:48You want to pretend that you run my antique shop?
07:51Bingo.
07:52Oh.
07:53Is that all?
07:55No protection?
07:56No extortion?
07:57I'm not an animal, Jean.
07:59But if you do this one thing for me, we'll call it even.
08:02Well, that's an offer I can't refuse.
08:05Oh, excuse me.
08:11Hi.
08:13Yeah, yeah, I know it well.
08:16Right, I'll, I'll, I'll be right there.
08:19Okay?
08:20Um.
08:23That was Caron.
08:24There's been an incident at the library.
08:26Can you give me a lift?
08:27Oh, Madeline's at home.
08:28I, I, I can drop you off to collector if you like.
08:31Oh, right.
08:31Oh, right.
08:32Okay, um, so, um, Mr. John Marsden here will be doing a bit of work experience today,
08:38so, um, if you could just show him the ropes, ladies, that would be great.
08:44Give my regards to Caron.
08:46Yeah.
08:47It is for Nell's cattle.
08:49I know, sweetheart, just having a laugh.
08:54Hmm.
08:55Oh, she's not worked at Till since the fir tree pub when she was on salad bar.
09:13What on earth is going on?
09:16Someone has attacked you.
09:19No.
09:21Why?
09:21Is he all right?
09:23He's fighting for his life.
09:25Oh, no.
09:27I'm so sorry.
09:29This could ruin St-Victoire library.
09:33What, what do you mean?
09:34We have destroyed one of the rarest figures in Egyptology.
09:38We haven't destroyed anything.
09:40That's how they will see it.
09:41Now listen to me, Suzanne.
09:43We're going to find out who's responsible for this horrific act of sabotage.
09:48Do you hear me?
09:49And we're going to find out who hurt Thomas.
09:53Look.
09:53Let's just decide that Thomas is going to be okay.
09:59And in a couple of months' time, he'll be back in here, stinking the place out with his rock fort, as usual.
10:06Thank you, Jean.
10:11I'll come back later and check on you, okay?
10:13I think she's in shock.
10:24What about you?
10:26I think I'm in shock.
10:29Thomas is such a sweetheart.
10:31Which is all the more reason we need to find out who is responsible for this.
10:35Yeah.
10:37John.
10:46I really want to give you a hug.
10:49No.
10:50Nobody's watching.
10:53Come here.
10:53Yours, I believe?
11:02Eh, yes.
11:04Yes, sir.
11:07I love watching you do that.
11:08What?
11:09That twisty thing you do when you pin your hair up in the morning.
11:11It's dead, erm...
11:13Sheik.
11:15That's the first time I've been called Sheik in my entire life.
11:19Well, it will not be the last time, Jean, why?
11:22Jean, we have some information.
11:24Can you come to the station?
11:25Yes, yes, of course.
11:27Of course, yes.
11:28Oh, yes, I'd better get back to work.
11:30I'll speak to you later, Jean, may I?
11:31Yeah.
11:32Yep.
11:33A neighbour was returning from his night shift and saw an orange moped driving away from
11:39the library at midnight last night.
11:41So this is the CCTV?
11:43Not from near the library, but round the corner.
11:46It is registered to a Gaynor Smith English.
11:49She's 18 years old and lives in university halls.
11:51Right.
11:52So, erm, how can I help?
11:55I need to interview her, but I don't want to bring her in.
11:59I think a less formal approach might be more successful.
12:02So, teenage girls have never been my strong point, even when I was a teenage boy.
12:08Oh, you want me to come with you?
12:10Oh, of course.
12:12No problem.
12:13We're back through the mists of time.
12:14I once was a teenage girl myself.
12:17Come on, then.
12:30Hello.
12:31Police.
12:32Oh, you better come in.
12:53Hello.
12:54I am Inspector Caron.
12:55This is my colleague, Jean White.
12:57Can we come in?
12:59Oui.
12:59We are the most fragile.
13:05They are a bit fragile.
13:07No kidding.
13:08We both speak English.
13:10That would be easier for my colleague.
13:13Your names, please?
13:14Nelly O'Kaz.
13:15Kayla Smith.
13:17A serious crime was committed last night.
13:20And a bike that is registered to you, Gaynor, was seen near the scene at midnight.
13:24Oh, she's gone.
13:28Cindy is gone.
13:29Oh, God.
13:29Who's Cindy?
13:30My bike.
13:31That's her name.
13:32Cindy's been stolen.
13:33So, your bike has been stolen.
13:35Clearly, yes.
13:36My mom's going to go mad.
13:37It was parked right out there.
13:38Where were you last night?
13:40We had a date with a couple of bottles of vodka.
13:44A bacon sandwich, white bread, and a pint of tea.
13:48Pardon?
13:48Well, best tank overcure ever.
13:51I'm a vegetarian.
13:58Can you prove where you are?
14:01Yes.
14:04Yeah.
14:06Looks like you had a good night.
14:07Ah, after midnight.
14:13Hmm.
14:17This is my card.
14:19If you could send me those photos, I will be able to eliminate you from my inquiries.
14:25Okay.
14:26We will see ourselves out.
14:28Thanks for getting us out of there.
14:37I'm starting to feel a bit queasy myself.
14:40I think not.
14:41Hmm.
14:45I think I'll go and talk to Suzanne, see how she's doing.
14:49Good idea.
14:50I will double-check the CCTV pictures.
14:53Keep me updated.
14:54Oh, could you forward me that picture, please?
14:57Of course.
14:58Thanks.
14:58You're an absolute scream, Charlie.
15:07I was just going to say the same, Mr. Marsden, not what I expected at all.
15:10Oh, and we have your lovely Simone in common.
15:12Hey, Simone, tell your Charlie about our high-vis vest scam.
15:17I'm not sure I can remember.
15:18Got us in everywhere.
15:19Did you wear a gelie fluo, you?
15:21No, as I said, I don't really remember.
15:24She certainly did, because I remember saying,
15:26how do you make neon nylon look so good.
15:29And you said,
15:30Je la porte.
15:31Allo, comment ne pourrie-t-il pas avoir les chiques?
15:34You say that all of the time.
15:37Does she?
15:38Oh, that's what I loved most about Simone, the way she owned it.
15:41Oh, no, as the case may be.
15:42Happy Avenue, Shea Broderie, White.
15:47I see.
15:49How do you two pop out for a spot of lunch?
15:51I can look after things here.
15:52Oh, that is so kind of you.
15:54Are you sure?
15:54Yeah, of course I'm sure.
15:55Off you pop.
15:56Okay, I'll grab my bag.
15:57I'm not too sure we should leave the shop.
16:05Now, now, Simone.
16:06You above anyone should know I've looked after bigger business than this.
16:09Have a belter of a lunch and I'll take care of everything here.
16:12Ah, there's just one thing.
16:14These are the returns from the workshop.
16:19This is...
16:21Neclists will be collected by a lady called Judith Lloyd-James.
16:24It is very important to her.
16:25No problem.
16:25Oh, merci. I'm so relieved I did not forget.
16:29Believe me, she's not somebody you want to be on the wrong side of.
16:32Well, thanks for the heads up.
16:44So, we're at a dead end unless we find out who stole that moped.
16:49Who'd steal an orange moped?
16:51What?
16:52It's a bit obvious, isn't it?
16:53What do you mean?
16:54Well, if you're going to nick a moped, surely you'd choose one that was a bit less conspicuous.
17:00Oh, get you, Detective Dom.
17:02Been knocking about with you, aren't I?
17:03That'd rub off at some point, wasn't it?
17:05Is that right?
17:08Come on.
17:08Oh, thank you.
17:21How are you doing?
17:24Not good.
17:28I just spoke to Thomas' family.
17:31They are at the hospital now.
17:33I don't know what his wife Maureen would do with him.
17:37Let's think back over the past few weeks.
17:40Now, is there anyone Thomas could have upset?
17:42Well, Thomas could be very verbose, as you know.
17:51And he was a stickler for details.
17:55His visitor's book had to be just so.
17:56Could I have a look at the visitor's book, please?
17:59Yeah, of course.
18:09See?
18:11Black ink only.
18:13Everything in the correct column.
18:15Mais oui.
18:19I forgot.
18:20Dr. Alagaia, he's a renowned égyptologist at university.
18:23He brought a group of students to look at the statue,
18:26and one of them started to shout about how disgusting it was
18:29for the Louvre to steal precious items from Egypt.
18:31So what happened?
18:33Thomas tried to calm him down,
18:35but the student kept shouting at Thomas' face
18:37about giving back the stolen goods.
18:39Well, the restitution of artifacts is a very touchy subject.
18:43It got very heated.
18:45And Dr. Alagaia quickly gathered his group up and left.
18:49Hmm.
18:51Have you got his contact details?
18:53He should be at university if you want to ask him about it.
18:56Do you think one of his students could have done such a thing?
18:59I don't know.
19:01But I'm going to find out.
19:03You've got very good taste.
19:05My nan had one of these.
19:06Now, let's get it wrapped up for you.
19:08A positive plethora of...
19:15Oh, fear behind the counter.
19:23You're in charge.
19:24I see ya.
19:34I'll wait out of you for you.
19:51You sure?
19:51Yeah, I want to give Claudia a ring.
19:53The time difference is about right.
19:55Plus, universities always make me feel a bit less than, you know?
20:01How do you mean?
20:02Yeah.
20:03Full of posh people, aren't they?
20:05Don't be daft.
20:06I went to one.
20:07And you know all that stuff about astronomy
20:10and every lyric of every song that's ever been written?
20:12Yeah, but that's not clever clever, is it?
20:14That's just because I had a karaoke comp pairing job when I was younger.
20:17Leaves an indelible mark on the subconscious.
20:19See? I think you're dead clever.
20:21Mm-hmm.
20:23Thanks.
20:25Take your legs up.
20:39Gotcha.
20:42Thank you for seeing me, Dr. Alagaya.
20:44Oh, you caught me between lectures.
20:46Oh, so you lecture in Egyptology?
20:49Yes, specifically on the importance of deities.
20:52Sorry, I'm Jean White.
20:53I'm a specialist in antiques,
20:55and sometimes I help police out with their inquiries.
20:58Police?
21:00Yeah.
21:01Um, do you remember the security guard at the library
21:04when you took your students to see the Hathor statue on tour last week?
21:09How can I forget it?
21:10Look, the students had been told to keep the politics neutral for the day
21:15and concentrate on the history.
21:17It was so embarrassing.
21:20But surely the police do not need to get involved.
21:22I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but last night that security guard
21:27was found unconscious after a vicious attack.
21:31What?
21:31And, um, in the attack,
21:34the Hathor statue was found irreversibly damaged.
21:38Hathor?
21:39I mean, this is...
21:40This is tragic.
21:42Are both of these things utterly tragic?
21:45Hmm.
21:46Um,
21:47do you have a list of the students that attended the library last week?
21:51Well, like the subject I teach,
21:54I am also a little historic.
21:56I keep paper copies of everything.
21:59Uh,
21:59here we are.
22:01A list of the students who attended.
22:04Oh, great.
22:06Can...
22:06Can I keep this?
22:07Of course.
22:08Right.
22:12Is that your stone?
22:13Oh, yes.
22:15Matteo.
22:16Very proud he's doing his PhD on Egypt and their stolen treasures.
22:19He was with me the day at the library.
22:24He did get quite passionate.
22:27But he'd never do anything like this.
22:29Hmm.
22:30And is that your daughter?
22:32No, she's his girlfriend.
22:35She, too, is studying at university.
22:39Oh, well, thank you.
22:41You're welcome.
22:49A beer, s'il vous plaît.
22:51Listen, right, I've got to go, Claudie.
23:10I'll speak to you in a bit.
23:11All right, bye.
23:11Love you, bye.
23:14A girl who lives at the university halls
23:16who was being sassy with Caron this morning
23:18and Dr. Allagai's son are in a relationship.
23:21What?
23:22Yeah, I just saw a picture of him together on his desk.
23:24Well, the girl's hair's a bit longer now,
23:26but it's definitely her.
23:27Now, she's got a bedroom next door to Nellie and Gaynor,
23:29the girls who had the moped nicked.
23:31So the girls with the mopeds, the stolen ones?
23:33Yeah, just drive.
23:35I'll break it down on the way.
23:51But what are you doing there, behind?
23:56Hello, darling.
23:57Slight hiccup.
23:58Some cheeky monkey has swiped Mrs. Lloyd-James' sapphire necklace
24:01from under my nose.
24:03But don't worry, I'm just about to get it back.
24:06Stall your friend for me.
24:07I won't be a tick.
24:08Oh, mon Dieu.
24:10C'est judith.
24:19Now, remember, Marsden, don't go mad.
24:22You've just had this cleaned.
24:28I think you've got something that belongs to me, my dear.
24:43And then?
24:46What are you going to do?
24:47I'm John Marsden.
25:04I don't want to repeat it twice.
25:08I'm a terrible moment confused.
25:10I didn't realize that you're John Marsden.
25:12I'm really sorry.
25:13Ah, hello again.
25:29We were just wondering, do you know where your neighbor is?
25:32Lily.
25:33She's probably at her boyfriend's.
25:36Mateo?
25:36Um, well, actually, it was Mateo we wanted to talk to
25:40concerning the theft of Gaynor's moped.
25:43What?
25:44Really?
25:45So, um, do you know where he lives?
25:47Yeah, I'll go write it down for you now.
25:49Just give me one moment.
25:52What is that smell?
25:55Students.
25:56Oh.
25:59Ah, yeah.
26:00Oh.
26:02Merci.
26:03Okay.
26:04Bye.
26:04Bye.
26:06Carol?
26:13Yeah, I've got Mateo's address.
26:15How much longer, Charlie?
26:17It's nearly 4 p.m.
26:19I wanted to drop it into her before the rehearsal dinner.
26:23She's marrying an American, so I have no idea what that is,
26:25but I know it begins soon.
26:27Maybe you'd like some more coffee?
26:29Ah, here is Jean's associate now.
26:32Oh, you must be Judith.
26:35Amazing cheekbones.
26:36Sorry about the delays, sweetie,
26:38but I didn't think they'd done a good enough job
26:40for one of Jean's favourite customers.
26:42Here you go.
26:43Oh, how thoughtful.
26:45Thank you so much.
26:46Pleasure.
26:48Hang on.
26:50Weren't you the chap that pipped me to the post this morning
26:53at the auction,
26:54denying my husband his birthday present,
26:57that box of Victorian ephemera...
26:59Sorry about that, my love, but let me put that right.
27:06Are you sure?
27:08Absolutely.
27:09I've got similar ones already.
27:11Well, thank you so much.
27:13My husband will be thrilled.
27:15You must let me pay you something.
27:18Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
27:21Oh, I'm John Marsden.
27:22Well, thank you very much, Mr. Marsden.
27:25Or can I call you John?
27:27You can, yeah, John.
27:29John Marsden.
27:32Thanks.
27:33Thanks.
27:56Thanks.
27:56Thanks.
28:27Gee!
28:31On my tail!
28:33Ah, where are you, young man?
28:58Okay, I'm very sorry.
29:05Richard!
29:07Your father says that you're very passionate about the restitution of artifacts.
29:12You've spoken to my father?
29:13Who did this?
29:23You were seen getting very upset in the library that day.
29:26What?
29:27I think you smashed the statue to sabotage the French ownership of it.
29:31That is not true.
29:33But you didn't expect a night watchman and defended yourself by nearly murdering him with the paperweight.
29:38No, no, no, no.
29:40You're wrong.
29:41I would never destroy something so precious.
29:43I need to talk to you about something.
29:45What now?
29:46It's very important.
29:49Richard, stop taking your statements, please.
29:51This is a fake.
30:00Look, it's just two pieces stuck together.
30:03It's hollow.
30:04What do you mean, hollow?
30:06In ancient Egypt, the sacred statues were always made in solid bronze.
30:18The hollow casting technique, it didn't come until years later.
30:23I didn't question it before because I just saw the head had fallen off and that can happen to a solid figure.
30:28So where on earth is the real one?
30:33I can hold Matteo on theft of a bike.
30:35We need a search warrant for his flat and now I think his father's house.
30:39Maybe they were in it together for the money?
30:42I can believe passionate sabotage from academics, but not blatant theft.
30:47I just don't think it's about the money for them.
30:50Oh, excuse me.
30:53Oh, I'm so sorry.
30:55I'm going to have to go.
30:56Keep me updated, eh?
30:57Of course.
31:05Quite clever when you think about it, isn't it?
31:13What do you mean?
31:14Well, while you lot were concentrating on the sabotage, the real statue was long gone.
31:20Probably been turned into an ashtray for some dodgy billionaire.
31:24Oh, the horror.
31:26Don't even joke about that.
31:28Gee, my sapphire looks wonderful.
31:32John Marsden went above and beyond.
31:34And he gave me a gift for Jeremy.
31:37It's the box from the auction this morning.
31:39Um, wow, this is your lucky day, Judith.
31:44Actually, what is it?
31:47Ah, well, um, this is a box of, um, memento mori.
31:54Ooh, what's memento mori?
31:57Well, um, in Victorian times, it was considered a loving tribute when someone passed away,
32:04um, that they were photographed with the, um, with the living.
32:11I mean, one of the people in this photograph is dead.
32:16Yeah.
32:17Uh, they would open up their eyes, prop them up on cushions.
32:20So, I just bid good money on pictures of dead people.
32:25Good grief.
32:28If you see this, this deceased lady here, she's less blurry because she's, um,
32:34completely still.
32:37Hmm?
32:38Oh, no, no, no, no.
32:41Hang on.
32:44So, I'm sorry.
32:54Helen.
32:55Helen.
32:59Um, do you mind if we pay someone a visit?
33:02Huh?
33:04Oh, hello.
33:08It's me again.
33:09I wondered if I could have a quick word.
33:12This is my partner, Dom.
33:13I mean, my, um, work partner, Dominic.
33:18Yeah, come in.
33:21How's your head?
33:22Uh, a bit better.
33:23Uh, I heard about Mateo and the statue.
33:27His girlfriend lives next door, you know.
33:29Is, um, is Nellie around?
33:31Uh, she nipped to the shops for some hangover munchies.
33:33Right.
33:35Um...
33:35Um, do you remember this picture being taken?
33:46I can't really remember much, if I'm being totally honest.
33:49It turned into a bit of a big night in.
33:51Right.
33:51So, you're left-handed?
34:00Yeah, why?
34:01Well, it's just on this photo.
34:05You're holding your drink in your right hand.
34:09Would you do that often?
34:13God, no.
34:14Even drunk.
34:15Well, especially when I'm drunk, I would never use my right hand.
34:17How weird.
34:18Hmm.
34:21See, I'm starting to think that you never used your hand at all.
34:25Pardon?
34:26I think you were drugged asleep and propped up in a photograph
34:30to provide someone with an alibi.
34:35What?
34:37So, is this, is this Nellie's side of the room?
34:40Yeah.
34:40Well, that's how she picked the lock.
34:58So, that wasn't your hairpin, I found it.
35:01Yours, I believe.
35:02Eh, no, love.
35:04But you were so chuffed that you found it
35:05that I didn't have the heart to tell you
35:06that I only used blonde ones.
35:08Oh, Gaina, can you tell me
35:16as much as you can remember about last night?
35:19Uh, well, after about 9.45, not a lot, really.
35:22Why specifically 9.45?
35:24Well, our takeout arrived at 9.30.
35:27It showed up on my app.
35:28Then we ate and drank more vodka,
35:30but we had loads before.
35:32I honestly can't remember much.
35:34Do you mind if we, um, take a quick look around?
35:36Yeah, help ourselves.
35:37Great.
35:38Tom?
35:52Okay.
36:06Right.
36:07I need you to text Nelly.
36:10Tell her the police called about Matteo,
36:14and she needs to get to the police station straight away
36:17to help Jean and Caron with their inquiries.
36:21Okay?
36:37Do you want to help me?
36:38Follow me.
36:40You can leave it there.
36:47Come in, please.
36:50This is something to do with me.
36:54Take a seat.
37:05How did you know?
37:08It was some pictures of deceased Victorians that gave me the clue.
37:14I realised that your alibi photo was fake.
37:18You'd put Gaynor's glass in the wrong hand.
37:21And your name was on the visitors' list when you did your little recce.
37:25I missed it first time round because you used your official name, Helen,
37:28and not your everyday name, Nelly.
37:30I had an anti-Nelly, you see, and we only ever called her Helen
37:33when she'd been badly behaved.
37:36You must have thanked the heavens when Matteo stole Gaynor's scooter.
37:41Oh, the heat was off you, wasn't it?
37:45This is how I think you did it.
37:47I think you did it.
37:53You got your flatmate drunk on vodka.
37:55Well, I assume you drank water.
37:57And then when your food arrived, you slipped to a sleeping draught.
38:07Well, she would never have tasted it eating a curry.
38:09And when she was dead asleep around 9.45, you stole the scooter and you went to the library knowing full well that Thomas never locked up before 10.30pm.
38:22So you snuck in and opened the glass box with a hairpin.
38:29Then stole the statue and intended to replace it with a broken fake one, suggesting sabotage.
38:39What are you doing? Stop! Stop!
38:44Thomas called you.
38:47So in a panic, you attacked him.
38:52I didn't mean that it was an accident.
38:54An accident that has left a man fighting for his life.
38:58You then rode back to the dorm and faked the photo, implying that you'd been there all night.
39:06But why?
39:17We are not going anywhere, Nelly.
39:23It...
39:25Just...
39:31Money...
39:33Simple.
39:34I am on my own in the world.
39:38And even with the cheapest accommodation, I still struggle to make ends meet.
39:44Most students work a part-time job to pay their way.
39:47Most students have other people helping them.
39:51Like I said, I have no one.
39:55I saw the exhibit on the tours in the library every couple of months.
40:10And I thought how easy it would be to steal one.
40:13So I came up with a plan.
40:17I knew this one was coming from the Louvre.
40:21So I did my research.
40:25And I found a buyer in Paris.
40:29It was very easy to find a copy online.
40:32And you thought no one in this backwater town would ever know the difference.
40:41I never meant to hurt, Thomas.
40:46I am truly sorry for that.
40:48Not as sorry as his wife, Maureen.
40:51But the dog says, I found a double!
40:53Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
40:55You thought you said you were a priest.
40:57I am truly sorry.
41:01But the dog says, I found a double!
41:16Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
41:22Right, you sit there, ladies. I'm going to get some drinks in. Only champagne's good enough for my mum.
41:29Oh! Have you got any more?
41:32Yeah.
41:35Couple of bottles of your finest bubbles, please.
41:37Oui.
41:44I'm armed. Put all the money in this bag and it won't happen.
41:50Hiya!
41:53Not your lucky day, is it, sweetheart?
42:01Thank you! What a day!
