00:00You are ready?
00:04It's been an eternity that I wanted to watch the film that passed this week.
00:07Oh, you are wonderful Simon.
00:10Thank you, Charmaine.
00:12It's rather interesting that no one uses his phone this evening.
00:16Not after the last time.
00:18Otherwise, look at him.
00:20When we think about it, I just asked him to put his phone in a sourdine
00:23if he didn't want to put him in a sourdine.
00:25It's reasonable.
00:27I'm so happy that I'm part of the people who are thanks to your sourdine.
00:32Aunt Fifi?
00:39Oh, I'm really sorry.
00:42I was listening to Harry Styles.
00:45We're going to get out, Tati Fifi.
00:47Can you close the locket behind us, like usual?
00:50Of course.
00:51I'm going to clean the toilet and I'm done.
00:56We need to go.
00:57Otherwise, we're going to ruin the beginning.
01:00Don't worry about it.
01:01I will close the locket, like usual.
01:03Okay.
01:04Thank you, Tati Fifi.
01:05See you soon.
01:06See you soon.
01:07Bye-bye.
01:08Bye-bye.

01:50Bye-bye.
01:51Bye-bye.
01:52Bye-bye.
01:53Let's go.
02:23Let's go.
02:53Let's go.
03:23What?
03:23You can play the mouse organ?
03:25I'd pay good money to see that.
03:27Oh, yes.
03:28I'm quite brilliant at it, actually.
03:29Which reminds me of my favourite dad joke.
03:32A mouse goes into a music shop and says,
03:35Do you sell mouse organs?
03:38Do you know it?
03:40And the shopkeeper says,
03:41That's weird.
03:43We had one of you all in here earlier asking exactly the same question.
03:46Oh, says the mouse.
03:48That must have been our moniker.
03:50You do know it.
03:53Right, well, I think I've got just about enough room for a pudding.
03:57Oh, great idea.
03:57Okay, I'll go and get some menus.
04:00So, what are the musical talents have you got hidden up your sleeve there?
04:05Well, well, seeing as it's you, I am a master on the spoons.
04:13Shut it.
04:14Oh, I think I've really hurt myself.
04:22Hi, Glo.
04:24Who on earth left that there?
04:27Well, I'm so sorry.
04:29I didn't know where to put it.
04:31Right, look, I think we'd better get you to A&E.
04:33A&E?
04:34What about Douglas?
04:36Oh, well, we used to have a dog.
04:38We'll look after him.
04:39We know what we're doing.
04:40Are you sure?
04:41There's the least we can do.
04:42Come on, let's get you out of here.
04:44I'm sorry.
04:45Oh!
04:47Oh!
04:48He prefers coconut water to plain.
04:52He's in safe hands with us, Gloria.
04:56Watch that step.
04:57Oh, Glo.
04:58Oh, Anne.
05:00Sit down, sit down, sit down.
05:02Oh!
05:04Hello?
05:06Hi, Charlie.
05:10No, I'll be right there.
05:12Okay?
05:13Um, there's been an incident at the shop, but I'm going to have to go.
05:18All right.
05:19Well, I'll get Glo to A&E and I'll give you a call, okay?
05:21I'm so sorry, Glo.
05:22Don't be daft.
05:23I'll text you if they have to amputate.
05:26Just get me back.
05:27Right.
05:27Why on earth did you offer to look after that stinking dog?
05:33You were the most wonderful mother to Tarquin, darling.
05:35I thought you'd be only too pleased to help.
05:38Our Tarquin was a kennel club registered top pedigree toy poodle.
05:43Also, you leaving that bucket out gives Gloria every reason to sue us, and I don't want to give her one reason.
05:50All right.
05:52When Patrick gets back, we'll take it back to the chateau.
05:56But it is not getting on the furniture.
05:58Who is on the stretcher?
06:07Oh, Jean, c'est terrible.
06:09What on earth has happened?
06:10We got back from the cinema, and the front door of the shop was open.
06:14Fifi was meant to lock up, so...
06:17So we went inside, and Fifi was nowhere to be seen.
06:20The door to the bathroom, it was locked, so Simone kicked it in.
06:25As the door opened, this horrific smell came out, and Aunt Fifi was lying on the floor.
06:31We dragged her out.
06:33And I closed the door immediately and called the police.
06:37Good grief.
06:38The forensic team strongly suspect the smell was a gas caused by bleach being mixed with ammonia.
06:45Mustard gas?
06:47Precisely.
06:48And in an enclosed space?
06:50Deadly.
06:50Oh, she didn't stand a chance.
06:54It looks like a normal bottle of bathroom cleaner was replaced with pure ammonia.
06:59So when the two products mixed together, it created the deadly gas.
07:03So somebody changed the bottle and locked her in?
07:06It would seem so.
07:08We have a Mildo on our hunts.
07:10We have a Mildo on our hunts.
07:10You do know it's Thursday.
07:28I am very well aware of that.
07:31And you do know what Thursday means?
07:34I do.
07:36But unfortunately, you invited that hairy mutt to come and stay with us.
07:41I'm going to have to burn these 800-thread Egyptian cotton sheets.
07:45I wouldn't have had to if you hadn't left the mop and bucket in the middle of the floor.
07:51I am not accustomed to domestic labor, Jeremy. I did my best.
07:54Well, maybe your best wasn't good enough.
07:59Darling.
08:01How dare you?
08:02I'm just stating facts.
08:04Are you, indeed?
08:06Well, one more fact from you, and you will be sleeping in one of the spare rooms tonight.
08:13On a Thursday?
08:14Okay.
08:32Oh, thank you very much.
08:43You are very welcome.
08:45Oh, no.
08:47What's wrong?
08:47Oh, this could be the end of this, this.
08:51What do you mean?
08:52If you choose the wrong sauce for your bacon roll.
08:56Hey, hey, hey.
08:57This is no laughing matter, Missy.
08:59I'm going to judge you very harshly if you choose the wrong one.
09:02Are you now?
09:03Oh, okay, okay.
09:05Let's just, let's just rip the plaster off, shall we?
09:07Right, on the count of three, you grab the bottle you want.
09:10Right.
09:10One, two, three.
09:13Yes!
09:14Well, it's red sauce for bacon and brown sauce for sausage.
09:18Ovs.
09:18Ovs?
09:19You are very lovely, Jean White.
09:23You're not so bad yourself, Dominic Hayes.
09:27Who's that?
09:28Oh, don't worry.
09:29I'll get rid of them.
09:35The police only let us back in our flat after midnight.
09:39I can still smell it.
09:41Oh, Charlie, I didn't think.
09:42Simone and I hardly slept a wink.
09:44So sorry.
09:45You could have stayed here.
09:46Do you have any coffee?
09:47And not the English stuff in the jar.
09:50Yeah, I do.
09:53Ah, good morning, Dom.
10:00Oh, hi, Charlie.
10:01I'm just unblocking this sink for Jean.
10:03Yes, I saw Madeline outside.
10:06You were here early, no?
10:07Yes, well, you know me.
10:09Love an early morning.
10:12I see.
10:15Bet you've not eaten, either of you.
10:17Come on, help yourself.
10:19Thank you, Jean.
10:22No sauce.
10:28I cannot believe.
10:30Vivi was such a wonderful woman.
10:32Yeah, she was great.
10:35Was she your mom's sister or your dad's?
10:36Oh, neither.
10:38She used to be my mom's best friend.
10:42Unfortunately, my parents threw me out when I was 17 after I introduced my first girlfriend to them.
10:48I see.
10:49Vivi and her husband, Brian, they took me in for a while and we always kept in touch.
10:54I heard that she was doing a bit of cleaning in her retirement and that's why she works for us.
10:59Worked for us?
11:00Excuse me.
11:07Oh.
11:11Good morning, Carol.
11:13No, um, Charlie's here.
11:16Yeah, okay, yeah.
11:20Hang on.
11:21Um, Carol needs to talk to you, Charlie.
11:26He needs you to go with him to Fifi's house because it...
11:30Uh...
11:31Okay.
11:34Carol, um, we will both be seeing you shortly.
11:37Okay, bye.
11:42Thank you, Gina.
11:44Um, are you all finished here now?
11:47Yes, yeah, no, that's all clear now.
11:49I'd better get back to work.
11:50Yes.
11:50I don't need that, don't need that.
11:53Yep.
11:54See you later.
11:55Um, yep, um, well, thank you.
11:57Thank you very much, Dom.
11:58Bye.
11:59Bye.
11:59Bye.
12:05Swags behind, my liege!
12:21Douglas?
12:25Douglas!
12:29Douglas!
12:31Douglas!
12:37No!
12:39How did I forget to shout that?
12:45Douglas!
12:47Douglas!
12:57Bonjour, je peux vous aider?
12:59Bonjour, nous sommes ici en ce qui concerne votre voisine, Fifi Page.
13:02Fifi? Oui, bien sûr, elle va bien.
13:05Excusez-moi, permettez-moi de me présenter, je m'appelle Pierre.
13:08Bonjour, je suis l'inspecteur Caron.
13:10Voici ma collègue Jean White.
13:12Bonjour.
13:13Bonjour.
13:14Quelque chose lui est arrivé?
13:16Vous avez besoin d'entrée, j'ai un double.
13:18Cela nous faciliterait bien les choses, merci.
13:21Je reviens.
13:26Judith! Judith!
13:29Wake up!
13:31What on earth are you doing?
13:33The dogs escaped!
13:35What?
13:36They must have made a break for it in the middle of the night.
13:38He's not in prison, Jeremy.
13:44It's Gloria.
13:45What shall I do?
13:46Don't say a word.
13:47Tell her I've taken him for a walk.
13:50Hello, Gloria.
13:51Hiya.
13:52Oh, I like your blouse.
13:54It's PJ's actually, but thank you.
13:56Oh, are you all having a lying?
13:58Sorry?
13:59I bet Douglas doesn't love that.
14:02How are you?
14:03Gloria.
14:04Oh, it's just the sprain.
14:05I've got to keep off it for 24 hours.
14:06How's my baby?
14:07Has he been a good boy?
14:08Can you bring him to the phone?
14:10Er, Jeremy has just taken him for a lovely early morning walk in the fields behind the
14:20setteau.
14:21Oh, thank you so much.
14:22Sorry, Gloria.
14:23I've got another call coming in.
14:24Speak later.
14:25Come on.
14:26I don't understand.
14:27You're such a lovely lady.
14:28How long have you been neighbours?
14:29I was renting a house next door from her for, er, six years.
14:36She used to feed my cat when I was at work.
14:41I teach history at the local lycée, and she cleans for me every week.
14:46She was obsessed with cleaning when I lived with her, too.
14:49I am her niece, Charlie.
14:52I'm so sorry for your loss.
14:55I'll take a look around.
14:57Did, er, Fifi have any family?
15:02Er, her husband Brian died ten years ago.
15:05She had a half-sister, Ines, who she doesn't speak to.
15:08Mine?
15:09It was, er, sister's husband, Alan, who set the rots between them, and I totally understand
15:13why Alan could, er, how you say, Jean, um, start a fight in an empty room?
15:19Er, I used to deal with him now and then, because him and Brian had a small auction house
15:24in Biarritz.
15:25But, er, me and Alan, we never saw eye to eye, so...
15:29So what happened between them?
15:31One night, Brian insisted that Alan try to steal something from them in their own house
15:36when they came here for dinner.
15:37And what did they try to steal?
15:39Oh, I have no idea.
15:41It was like a bomb going off in the family.
15:44Alan denied it, and that was that.
15:47The auction house closed down, and they never spoke to each other again.
15:51Brian has long gone, and she has lived here all alone ever since.
15:55Do you know where the sister and her husband live?
15:58I do, if they are still in the same place.
16:01Can you write it down for me?
16:05Of course, not a problem.
16:17Do you know of anyone who would want to kill Fifi?
16:21No.
16:22She was so loved.
16:25Everybody adored her.
16:27And she didn't have much.
16:28Just these little old houses, her state pension and her cleaning money.
16:33And I don't believe our little old houses are worth killing for.
16:36Oh, I didn't mean to cause offence.
16:39I mean they are very sweet houses.
16:42Maybe it's what's in the house that's worth killing for.
16:46Charlie, come and have a look at this.
16:51What do you think that is?
16:56Oh, my God.
16:58I don't believe it.
16:59What is it?
17:01I think it's a bowl from the Changlong dynasty in 1745.
17:05What does that mean?
17:07Approximately 50,000 euros.
17:09What?
17:10And I'm starting to think that Louise Moyen that's propped up in the hall is real too.
17:15What else is in this little old house?
17:17Wow.
17:18To be honest, I didn't visit her here much since I was a teenager as I always saw her in the shop, but still.
17:23And there is only one living relative?
17:25Yes.
17:26I think we need to ask Fifi's sister Inez and her husband Alan a few questions.
17:31Richard, you and I will pay them a visit.
17:33Jean, I think you and Charlie should stay here and see what else you can find.
17:36Oh, yeah, no problem.
17:37We might need to ask you some further questions, but for now, thank you for your help.
17:42My pleasure.
17:44Can I make you a drink?
17:45Oh, yes, please.
17:46That would be lovely.
17:49Yes, the geometric process of energy exchange that would form what we see and feel as the passing of time.
17:55Sorry about that, just need to make a quick emergency phone call.
18:05I feel dreadful.
18:11Imagine someone losing our Tarquin while they were dog sitting.
18:14We would have never forgiven them.
18:16Tarquin would never have run away.
18:18What kind of dog runs away from a shadow and a Wedgwood water bowl?
18:23Well, what's that got to do...
18:25Dominic.
18:30Oh, that's great news.
18:32Dominic's found Douglas running in the fields.
18:34I told you, the dog is a moron.
18:37Where are you?
18:39Right, we're on our way.
18:41Come on.
18:53There is never an easy way to break bad news.
18:58But I'm afraid I have to tell you that your sister, Madame Fifi Page, was found dead last night.
19:06How did she die?
19:08We suspect she was murdered.
19:11Oh, my goodness.
19:13Must be a great shock.
19:15Even though she was my half-sister, she has been dead to me for years.
19:19We have heard that you don't speak.
19:21We were told it was because you were accused of stealing from her house.
19:27Oh, I suppose that was from her pretend niece, Charlie.
19:32To be expected, I suppose, we never got on.
19:36Well, it was never us that was doing the stealing.
19:40Pardon?
19:42Our license was threatened to be revoked from the auction house because too many items over the years had accidentally been misplaced.
19:51You suspected Monsieur Page was stealing items?
19:54Well, very slowly, maybe one or two a year.
19:59Brian blames the security I hired, but I knew they all were as honest as the day is long.
20:07People started losing faith in us.
20:10And it wasn't just the two things.
20:12Really expensive items disappeared.
20:15I did start to suspect Brian, but he covered his tracks so well.
20:20So when we were at his house for dinner one night, I took an opportunity to explore.
20:26After a search, I found two of the missing items and I confronted him.
20:34He became enraged.
20:36He said if Alain said anything, he would bring all four of us down with him.
20:40We left and never spoke to him again.
20:41I can clear my name at last.
20:48Where were you last night at 5pm?
20:54We were both here, at home.
20:58And you only have each other as an alibi.
21:00We will be in touch.
21:05We will be in touch.
21:17Is that a grand teddy tea room painting?
21:19Edouard Vuillard.
21:20What?
21:22I thought the third one was lost forever.
21:24Moi aussi.
21:25So why was that hidden?
21:27Behind the wardrobe and the spell room.
21:28How much is this worth?
21:30Oh, ballpark between 200,000, 300,000 euros.
21:35Mon Dieu.
21:37You two really know your stuff. It's very impressive.
21:39Did you study antiques?
21:41My PhD is in French warfare, so if you ever need an expert on that, give me a call.
21:46Thank you, I will.
21:47So what's the tally now, Charlie?
21:50With the paintings, the console table, the Axminster Rocks, circa 1760, which was rolled up under the bed in the spare room.
21:58And don't forget the Louise Moyen.
22:02Almost two million euros.
22:04Wow.
22:06I honestly can't believe it. I had no idea. Where did it all come from?
22:10Hello?
22:11Yes, I'm good, Charlie Brodeur.
22:12Yes, I understand.
22:13I'll wait for your call.
22:16Charlie, are you okay?
22:18Yes, I'm good, Charlie Brodeur.
22:23Yes, I understand.
22:25I'll wait for your call.
22:32Charlie, are you okay?
22:35That was Fifi's solicitor.
22:37Go on.
22:40She has left everything to me.
22:42Ines has been written out of the will.
22:46But we need something stronger than this.
22:49Come next door.
22:50Okay.
22:51I need to tell Simone.
22:52Yeah.
22:53Okay.
23:05Oh, I didn't know how much I needed that. Thank you.
23:07Oh, my pleasure.
23:09Oh, please.
23:12Hello, Carol?
23:14Yep.
23:15Okay, I've just got to take this.
23:16Yes, yes, of course.
23:20Okay.
23:21I had no idea how much I meant to her.
23:24Sometimes I think it's the quality of the quantity of time we spend with someone that makes the greatest impact.
23:29Mm.
23:31She once netted me a complete nativity set for Christmas.
23:34Really?
23:35Mary Joseph the lot.
23:37The kings were a little unusual.
23:40But she did an amazing job with the sheep.
23:43She was quite the character.
23:46She never got over losing Brian.
23:47They were real soulmates.
23:51So in love.
23:56Oh, fantastic place you've got here, Pierre.
23:59I bet those glass bottles are not from Ikea.
24:03No.
24:04Uh, my grandmother, she used to make the most amazing, um, how you say, uh, pickles.
24:10Oh.
24:11I never had the heart to throw them away.
24:13That was Carol.
24:15Inez says something about Brian.
24:17Can we just nip next door?
24:19Sorry.
24:20No, oh, I won't have to.
24:24No.
24:26Uh.
24:32F dates, years old.
24:43Oh.
24:44Oh.
24:45It's time for you to come home, baby.
25:02Douglas!
25:04Douglas!
25:06Douglas, where are you, you fool?
25:11Oh, Miss Gloria.
25:13She said she's ready to have Douglas home.
25:15Tell her we are having the time of our lives.
25:17And we would like to keep him a while longer.
25:21Oh, darling!
25:45I suppose it's a consolation that Fifi never got to know that Brian was a thief.
25:53She didn't have a clue about antiques.
25:56All this stuff will have to be returned to its rightful owners, of course.
26:00Of course. I don't want to inherit stolen goods. It's bad karma.
26:03Right, I'm going to have one last sweep around and then we'll call it a day.
26:08Okay. Simone should have been here by now. We will give you a lift home.
26:10Oh.
26:12Ah, ma chérie.
26:14Right, I'll put the kettle on.
26:15Ah!
26:19Ah!
26:21Ah!
26:23Ah!
26:25Ah!
26:27Ah!
26:28Ah!
26:29Sally!
26:34Ah!
26:35What the hell?
26:41Alan?
26:46Can't he just live in the wild?
26:47It's a dog, darling.
26:48There are dogs that live in the wild.
26:50Not glorious, dog.
26:51It drinks bloody coconut water.
26:54Look.
26:55Over there.
26:58Douglas.
26:59Don't move, Douglas.
27:01Stay.
27:01Stay.
27:02Stay.
27:03Stay.
27:03Oh, we're so relieved to see you, boy.
27:08Look at him.
27:09Not the tiniest bit of remorse at what he's put us through.
27:11Come along, Douglas.
27:12Come on, Douglas.
27:13Time to go home.
27:13There we go.
27:14No, you've been all morning.
27:16Come along.
27:17Ah, no, boy.
27:24So you found out about the will, and you attacked Charlie.
27:29She's my dear friend.
27:30My business partner.
27:32And she certainly does not deserve that.
27:36Fifi left me no choice, did she?
27:40When we heard about Inez being written out of Fifi's will and everything being left to your friend,
27:47I just saw red.
27:49They did this to you.
27:51It was the last straw.
27:54I knew she would be at Fifi's house looking at her winning, so I thought I would pay her a visit.
28:01It was nothing personal to your friend.
28:05She just doesn't deserve it.
28:08She's not even blood.
28:09Well, your methods of attack have certainly changed in 24 hours, I will give you that.
28:16I did not kill Fifi.
28:18So you did not replace her detergent with pure ammonia?
28:20I have absolutely no idea what you were talking about.
28:24I think you and your wife went to the shop yesterday, swapped her cleaning bottles, locked her in the bathroom and left her to die from the gas.
28:31I did not even know how she died, and me and my wife were somewhere else at that time.
28:40Ah, yes, at home, with no one to confirm this.
28:43We can, actually.
28:48Go on.
28:50We were at the Bureau de Poste.
28:53Doing what?
28:56Cashing a cheque.
28:58What cheque?
29:00Brian's employee pension cheque.
29:04You were cashing a dead man's pension cheque?
29:09So you never told them that he died?
29:11For ten years.
29:14Mourn't you, that is low.
29:16How did Fifi not know?
29:19It was a company pension me and Brian took out.
29:23Fifi didn't have to know.
29:25It wasn't yours.
29:26He left us in poverty.
29:29What were we supposed to do?
29:32We were there at 5 p.m. like we are every Wednesday.
29:37You can check with the Bureau de Poste.
29:39Will I be able to claim back my half-missing stock?
29:48Sorry.
29:49Our joint company paid for the stock.
29:54Half of what it is worth is mine.
29:57The stolen goods will be returned and the insurance companies will be informed.
30:01I also have to remind you that pension theft is fraud.
30:05It carries a hefty fine and sometimes a custodial sentence.
30:10Not to mention the assault on an innocent woman.
30:14All for the court to decide.
30:16Well, if Alan's alibi checks out, then we're right back at the beginning as to who killed Fifi.
30:25If it seems so.
30:26I've just got your message.
30:31Are you okay?
30:32Er...
30:32Dominique?
30:33Shh.
30:34Yeah.
30:35Yeah, I'm fine.
30:36I didn't even know what was going on.
30:38I mean, poor old Charlie, though.
30:39You sure?
30:40Yeah.
30:41Yeah, you can, um, let go of my hands now.
30:45Oh, sorry, sorry.
30:47Um, do you mind giving me a lift back to Fifi's?
30:49I really want to finish the inventory for Charlie.
30:52Yeah, yeah.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Not letting you out my sight, though, yeah?
30:54Yeah.
30:56I've said it many times over the years, Mrs. Lloyd-James.
31:04You make quite the team.
31:06I want a hot shower and I need to call my hairdresser.
31:12I think you look rather windswept and interesting.
31:15Jeremy, get me home.
31:20Yes, of course, darling.
31:21Oh, Charlie, I'm so glad you're okay.
31:38Is Simone with you?
31:40Good.
31:42I'm here now.
31:43No, it's okay.
31:45Dom's with me.
31:47Yeah.
31:48Oh, okay.
31:50Yeah.
31:51Yep.
31:51I'll see you later.
31:53Okay, bye.
31:55Blimey.
31:56Told Charlie's a very rich woman now, then.
31:59Oh, she's not, actually.
32:00She's got to give it all back.
32:01And what I wouldn't have done to give my hand to...
32:03Oh, no.
32:05He's escaped again.
32:06No good trying to get away mate, you've been caught a red pawed.
32:33Douglas, I think you've found yourself a truffle.
32:46I bet those glass bottles are not from Ikea.
32:50Oh my goodness.
32:53I knew they weren't pickle jars.
32:55Right.
32:56Right, come on.
32:57Let's get you on.
32:58Come on.
32:59Yeah.
33:00You gonna be okay?
33:01Yeah fine, I'll see you later.
33:02Er, the thing is Jean.
33:04What?
33:05Well I don't want to leave you after what happened earlier.
33:08I was really scared.
33:10What are you on about?
33:11I'll be fine.
33:13Well, when you put it like that.
33:18Well go on, I'll speak to you if I need anything.
33:21Oh.
33:22Oh.
33:23A regular little truffle factory.
33:36A regular little truffle factory.
33:56Good grief.
33:59Mustard gas.
34:06Oh, hi.
34:16You shouldn't be in here.
34:17I was just looking around Fifi's and...
34:21This is not Fifi's shed, is it?
34:24It's yours in your shared garden.
34:27Exactly.
34:29And you've been preserving very expensive truffles in very expensive jars.
34:35Yes.
34:37Well done.
34:38And I'm starting to think I'm not the first person to have worked this out.
34:43I've had my lovely little job for two years now.
34:47Nearly have enough for a deposit for my house.
34:50And Fifi discovered your secret.
34:53Yes.
34:54That meddling old girl worked out what was going on.
34:59She recognized my green jars were for preserving truffles.
35:03What, you actually killed her for it?
35:05Well, she wanted 60%.
35:07These are Perigot black truffles.
35:11There was maybe 1,000 euros per kilo.
35:14She said if I didn't agree, she was going to evict me.
35:17I'm sorry, but she had to go.
35:22So you wouldn't have given her a smaller percentage?
35:24What?
35:25Well, the shed is on her land.
35:27We shared the land!
35:27She agreed that I could use her shed.
35:31She said it would be my own private space.
35:33She didn't even come in here.
35:34It was her husband's place.
35:35She agreed.
35:37But oh, no.
35:38When she realized there was money to be made, she wanted what I had worked.
35:41So hard to build.
35:42Yes.
35:43Well, that was very unfair.
35:44Very unfair.
35:46Exactly.
35:46It really was very unfair.
35:51And do you know what, Jean?
35:52I tried so hard to be kind.
35:55Of course I did.
35:57I even paid her to clean my house.
36:00She never stopped cleaning.
36:02It's hilarious, huh?
36:04The irony, the thing that you love the most ends up being the thing that kills you.
36:08Because, of course, you know, she always used to clean in the same old-fashioned, planet-killing way.
36:15First a ton of bleach, then a lot of detergent.
36:17Oh, it drove me mad.
36:19I'm sure.
36:22So that's where you got the idea of how to kill her?
36:27Every time she left my house, it stank of bleach.
36:31I was going to put some in her coffee, so she choked on it, but it seemed too obvious.
36:37And then it came to me.
36:40I was preparing a new module for my students about the Battle of Ypres in World War I.
36:45Did you know, the Battle of Ypres was the first time the Germans used mustard gas, hmm?
36:50A simple mixture of bleach and ammonia.
36:57A little idea started forming.
37:00Then, of course, your shop was the perfect location.
37:02She would be alone in an enclosed space at the same time every week,
37:07cleaning in her same old-fashioned way.
37:10So thank you for that.
37:14By now.
37:16Of course, now that you know that,
37:18you will have to die in the same way.
37:20Hmm?
37:20Well, I need to leave.
37:47Oh, my God.
38:17Je vais vous rejoindre à l'hôpital.
38:34Bien.
38:42You were very lucky, Jean.
38:45That scarf saved your life.
38:47Pierre has not fared well for me at all.
38:50Yeah, thank God my granny always told me to carry something if it got cold.
38:54And if you hadn't got them out, then...
38:57Yeah.
38:57Why did you come back?
39:02It was him.
39:03Houdini here.
39:04Escaped again.
39:05Came back to finish sniffing the truffles.
39:06Well, I owe you one too then, Douglas.
39:12I'd better get back.
39:13Have you been checked out by the paramedics?
39:15Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
39:17Good.
39:17Take your time, but as you know, you will all need to be interviewed and make a statement.
39:21Maybe not you.
39:28Did he just crack a fairly funny joke?
39:32I'm not sure.
39:33You can come back.
39:49Come on, come on, come on.
39:54You can come see me.
40:07I'm shattered.
40:09I'm not surprised.
40:10It has been a bit of a day.
40:12Can you say that again?
40:13Don't.
40:14Yeah.
40:16Imagine.
40:17Getting on with your day, not realising you were sat on millions.
40:21Literally.
40:22You know that battered old chair in the lounge?
40:24That was an actual Louis Marjorie.
40:26An Art L'Invert worth about 20,000 euros.
40:29Shocking.
40:31Thank you for today.
40:33You actually saved me life.
40:35Don't say it like that.
40:37Yeah, but you did.
40:38Yes, and I'm very glad that I did.
40:42But I learnt something very important today about Eugene White.
40:47What's that, Dominic Hayes?
40:49That I should never, ever, ever listen to a single word you say again.
40:55Where would you have been right now if I hadn't come back?
40:58Have you gone, she says.
41:00I'll be absolutely fine, she says.
41:02Is he telling another dad joke?
41:04Hello, Glo.
41:05Hello, love.
41:06Are you feeling better?
41:07Yeah, I can walk.
41:08Oh, it's a miracle.
41:10Oh, hello, furry fun chaps.
41:14Oh, I have missed you.
41:17Oh, thanks, you two.
41:19Has he been a good boy?
41:21Absolutely no problem at all.
41:23A complete and utter joy.
41:25Hey, it's brilliant you got on so well.
41:27My dog sister's just moved town, so I'll be calling on you two now if I need him looking after.
41:31Oh, lovely.
41:33Would be our pleasure.
41:36Thanks.
41:37I'll have a white wine.
41:38On the house.
41:39Oops.
