Short filmTranscript
00:00I
01:00Our victim is Professor Alina Barbieri, head botanist at the Tropical Atlas.
01:26Her face is burnt.
01:30I can't see any signs of fire.
01:32Well, she could have been moved.
01:33The body doesn't show any signs of combustion, so it wasn't a fire.
01:38Oh, be careful.
01:39Step away from that tree.
01:42Oh, sorry.
01:43I didn't take that course in tropical medicine just for the month in the Maldives.
01:48Right, the deceased is lying under a hippomane manzanella, otherwise known as the death apple.
01:55Let's hope we find our wicked stepmother, get this wrapped up by lunch.
01:58The tree caused the burns to her face.
02:05Our patient said it wasn't a fire.
02:06She was quite correct, as usual.
02:09The sap on this tree is so corrosive that when it mixes with water, it turns to acid, and that's what's burnt her skin.
02:16But it didn't kill her?
02:17Well, she was dead before she was exposed to the tree sap.
02:20So what did?
02:20Her face is bloated.
02:21Fingertips are cyanosed, and there's vomit near the body, so she was poisoned.
02:28Half the things in here look like they could kill you.
02:32I mean, maybe it was an accident.
02:33She was a botanist.
02:34She knew these plants how to handle them.
02:37Why would she have knowingly ingested some new poisonous?
02:40Maybe she was forced to.
02:42The tree, patience!
02:43Oh!
02:44Sorry!
02:51On the body, we found an asthma inhaler, a staff pass, and a mobile phone.
03:00Anything interesting on the phone?
03:01Yeah, the latest message from someone called Teo.
03:03It says, I drowned Paco, hurried to Rufforth.
03:06Oh, that is interesting.
03:08Yeah, no one called Paco's been reported missing, and no one's reported any drownings in the last 24 hours.
03:13But we do have a lead on Teo.
03:15He's the brother of the deceased, and he's got a record.
03:18Right, what's Rufforth?
03:19Oh, it's a village six miles out of the city centre.
03:23Professor Barbieri had a property there, former farm, loads of greenhouses.
03:27And it's where Teo drowned Paco, so let's head out there.
03:30Er, wait, sorry.
03:31No, we've not identified the poison that killed the professor, and not had a chance to check the archive, so...
03:37My gut says it's the brother, and also that there's a great farm shop on the way.
03:41Well, shouldn't we wait for backup, you know, seeing as the brother's been drowning people?
03:44Oh, come on, DS Hunter.
03:46All that bench pressing, you can take him.
03:47I'll get a cast high.
03:49Well, no, no, sorry.
03:51There's a process.
03:52We need to do things in an order.
03:54No, no, you need to do things in an order.
03:55I'm fine.
03:56And also, if we don't go, then I have to deal with a mountain of paperwork that you created destroying the crime scene.
04:02Listen, whatever's happened between you and Soccer Boy, you need to find a way of keeping it professional.
04:07You know, since you've been here, you've said 55 things to make someone else feel uncomfortable.
04:13What are you, bloody hell, you're actually counting?
04:15You do it on purpose.
04:17It's like you don't care about anyone else but yourself.
04:19I care about the job.
04:20You think we're here just to make friends.
04:23I'm just asking you to be professional.
04:25You are not professional.
04:26Don't put your headphones.
04:29Stop calling me headphones.
04:32I am not here to look after you.
04:33I am not your mother.
04:35No, my mother's dead.
04:37My name is Patience.
04:43She obviously had a keen sense of irony.
04:45There's someone in there.
05:10Tio Barbieri?
05:12Yeah.
05:15Where's Paco?
05:17Paco?
05:21Ah.
05:23Just here.
05:25So this is Paco?
05:27Yeah.
05:28He's a mimosa pudica.
05:30He's hypersensitive.
05:32What?
05:35See?
05:36Hmm.
05:37Yeah, he's my sister's pride and joy.
05:38She is fascinated by plant neurobiology.
05:42How plants sort of process and use information that they gather from the wildings.
05:47I look like we do, honestly.
05:49The rose fell off the watering can and I flooded the pot.
05:53I nearly drowned him.
05:54But, you know, I think I've managed to save him.
05:57Hopefully.
05:58Is everything all right?
06:06Would you like to take a seat?
06:10Okay.
06:11When did you last see her?
06:23Not for a couple of days, but...
06:26It's not unusual.
06:28She'd often work late.
06:29Nights, even.
06:30I should have known something was wrong when she didn't come to check on Paco.
06:36I can't look after all this myself.
06:46I don't know what I'm going to do.
06:52I don't know what I'm going to do.
06:53I don't know what I'm going to do.
07:06Is the, er, brother a suspect?
07:12I'm not getting killer instincts.
07:14He's got no obvious motive.
07:17Is he the sole beneficiary of his sister's estate?
07:19Yes.
07:20But Alina gave him everything he needed at the farm.
07:23And why kill her for the inheritance?
07:26What's with the plant?
07:28Oh.
07:28Not a suspect at this stage, sir.
07:30Possibly a wenness.
07:31Parsons has got something for you in the morgue.
07:34Keep me updated on the, um, witness situation.
07:37Yeah, sir.
07:40Have you, er, spoken to Patience yet?
07:42If she wants to sulk, let her.
07:45We don't all express our feelings in the same way.
07:48I find that plant easier to read.
07:50I found half-digested acacia leaves in the professor's stomach.
08:02Right, so that's the cause of death?
08:04Hmm, it's odd, certainly.
08:06Tannins in acacia leaves are poisonous,
08:08but not enough to cause death.
08:11Um, er, an acacia tree that senses it's under attack from an animal
08:15makes its leaves taste more bitter, um, to defend itself.
08:20So, it does this by increasing its tannin level.
08:23Hmm.
08:24Plant neurobiology.
08:26So, an acacia plant technically could produce tannin at a strength to cause death.
08:31That's not likely to come under attack in a tropical greenhouse, is it?
08:35Not by an animal, perhaps, but maybe someone being more deliberate.
08:40Oh.
08:41Let me know what you find.
08:48Coming?
08:50Can I help you?
09:18I'm, um...
09:21I'm, um...
09:22I'm, uh...
09:23I'm looking for patients.
09:26I'm a friend of hers and Elliot's.
09:28She's not in just now.
09:31Is that for her?
09:35Shall I take it?
09:36Over here.
09:48This is an acacia.
09:56There are cuts.
09:57I mean, they're deep enough to outgrow up the tree and increase its levels of tannin.
10:05Oh, what have we got here?
10:12Could they have been created using these?
10:16Er, could have been.
10:16Plus, I don't even drink bad coffee, so I don't know how they got her to chew and swallow bitter leaves.
10:23Could it have been a suicide?
10:25No, I think we need to talk to Tio again.
10:27I didn't mean you to go to any trouble.
10:37Oh, come on, biscuits are never any trouble.
10:42So, how did you save your new patients?
10:45Er, through work.
10:46Um, what is it you do that?
10:49I'm a cleaner.
10:53Is she gonna be much longer?
10:56Shall we finish the pot?
10:59And then you can tell me why you're lying to me.
11:10I'm gonna go this way.
11:16Any sign of them?
11:35No, nothing.
11:36I'm gonna put a call up.
11:37Alright.
11:46I'm gonna go this way.
11:47I'm gonna go this way.
11:48I'm gonna go this way.
11:57Jake?
12:16That's a lot of weed.
12:24Yep.
12:32Hello, Tio.
12:34I'm assuming you've got a license for these.
12:37Hello.
12:41My mate.
12:45Okay, sir.
12:46Looks like your instinct to go after him was spot on.
12:53Where's Patience?
13:16You can't tell her this now.
13:29I've waited a long time.
13:31Another few weeks won't hurt.
13:34It's not your decision.
13:36Yeah, but I know her, and clearly, you don't.
13:41She's in a particularly vulnerable place now.
13:46Please.
13:50Please let me tell her.
13:53Just let me find the right moment.
13:54What?
14:19Come on, come on.
14:22I knew the brother was hurting something.
14:30Well, the pattern of his previous offence doesn't statistically really lead to murder.
14:35I know.
14:38What's this?
14:40I don't know.
14:41It's not cannabis.
14:43The professor was obviously researching it.
14:45I was going to try and make sense of those notes.
14:47Yeah, I'm just trying to work out what it is.
14:49Okay.
14:52Well, there's more of them going over there.
14:55I'm going because you're making me uncomfortable.
15:02You all right?
15:09Do I make you feel uncomfortable?
15:12Well, I run out.
15:17You know, maybe you should try and apologise to her.
15:22I think we should pack one of those out.
15:26Let's go.
15:56Uh, I found a harassment claim that Professor Barbi Eury filed.
16:19I actually came down to see if you're okay.
16:21Um, yeah, well, I think the plant that I fell into caused some skin irritations, but it's clearing up now.
16:37And I saw Elliot with someone else.
16:39Well, maybe you should move on, too.
16:47Meet some new people.
16:49Yeah, how would I do that?
16:50It's not going to happen down here, is it?
16:52No, I want to keep it separate from work.
16:54I'm trying out speed dating, if you're interested.
17:02What?
17:03Speed dating?
17:04All right, Gen Z.
17:06It's where you meet lots of people for a few minutes at a time and ask some questions, see if you're compatible.
17:11Wow, that's actually a really efficient way of accumulating a lot of useful data.
17:17That's a way of looking at it, yeah.
17:18They were a gift from Alina.
17:39She used to borrow them sometimes.
17:41You know what this looks like, Tia?
17:46That you killed Alina to stop her from telling anyone about your cannabis lab?
17:50Of course not.
17:51No, the farm was Alina's idea.
17:53Okay, so what happened?
17:54Bad deal?
17:56Stepped on someone else's patch?
17:57No, we didn't just deal to anyone like that.
18:01Yeah, I mean, your criminal record.
18:03Okay.
18:03Stoplifting, antisocial behaviour.
18:05It's a big jump to drugs baron.
18:06I'm not a drugs baron.
18:08Let alone a murderer.
18:09No, you've got this all wrong.
18:12There is a distinct possibility, so put me right.
18:20I had a breakdown.
18:27I lived on the streets.
18:29Alina took me in.
18:31And we started the farm to sell weed to people with chronic pain.
18:36That's it.
18:39You're looking at five years, Tia.
18:44What did Alina get out of this?
18:50The money.
18:52The money.
18:56Every penny
18:57that we made
18:59went back into her research.
19:02And was this part of her research?
19:13Yeah.
19:13What is it?
19:20I don't know.
19:22I don't.
19:23She wouldn't tell me.
19:24She said the less I knew,
19:33the less danger I would be in.
19:39What was Professor Barbieri researching?
19:42Why did you think it put her in danger?
19:44Who did you think she was in danger from?
19:47Professor Barbieri worked for a pharmaceutical company
19:49called Brovexum up until 18 months ago when she left the Brooklyn.
19:53What was a botanist doing working for a pharmaceuticals company?
19:56I mean, historically, plants have been a significant source of medicinal compounds.
20:00Yeah, patients found something in the archive.
20:02Um, when Professor Barbieri left,
20:05Brovexum filed an accusation of patent theft.
20:08Yeah, and then a few months ago,
20:09she made a claim of harassment against Brovexum.
20:12She said they sent her intimidating emails and letters,
20:15and then her home was broken into.
20:17Nothing was taken, but her papers were disturbed.
20:20What happened to the complaint?
20:22Well, the file's full of lawyers' letters.
20:23It looks like Brovexum came down on it like a tonne of bricks.
20:26The Sue first, ask questions later.
20:28Will, you're across the Professor's emails.
20:30Can you pull up anything from Brovexum or anyone associated with them?
20:33Mum.
20:34And what else were Brovexum up to?
20:35Any patterns in the archives?
20:38Um, I, I've not, I've not checked, I've been distracted.
20:46We need something concrete on Brovexum before we go anywhere near them.
20:50Hmm.
20:51Anyone else the Professor was specifically worried about?
20:53Any names in the files?
20:54Well, the letters are from a Marissa Wilson.
20:56She's a lawyer that we've dealt with in the past.
20:59It looks like she's gone corporate.
21:01She's their head of compliance.
21:03Hmm.
21:04Alina was risking everything on whatever she was working on.
21:09I'm going to talk to Marissa Wilson.
21:17I want it noted that I'm cooperating voluntarily.
21:21Noted.
21:21Please.
21:21What was Professor Barbieri working on when she was here?
21:25I can't discuss our research programs for you.
21:27They're confidential.
21:28Why did she leave?
21:29And I'm not at liberty to discuss employee HR records.
21:34I have to say, Ms. Wilson, this doesn't feel very cooperative.
21:39Don't pursue this.
21:40My legal team would bankrupt your entire department in a week.
21:47What was the patent you accused Professor Barbieri of stealing?
21:51Even if I had the time to explain it to you, I very much doubt you'd understand it.
21:54Right.
21:54Okay.
21:55Patent.
21:57Protects her product or process.
21:59Right so far?
22:01Hmm.
22:01Alina wasn't selling a product, so you accused her of stealing a process or an idea.
22:07It's not that complicated.
22:09Why would you break in and ransack her home looking for an idea?
22:16I've done a lot of work in Manchester.
22:19I think you know Chief Superintendent Banks.
22:22You two used to work together, didn't you?
22:31And thank you for your cooperation.
22:41Anything interesting turn up?
22:43Hi.
22:44We've got the mystery plant ID.
22:46Artemisia annua.
22:47It's used in Chinese medicine against fevers and a key component in the anti-malaria drug
22:52that Brevexam brought to the market.
22:54So, Brevexam has been accused of intimidation and harassment 18 times in the past two years.
22:59A group of patients are taking legal action and several have made complaints.
23:03What's the legal action about?
23:04Side effects of a drug.
23:05What's the drug?
23:07It's an anti-malaria drug.
23:08The key component is...
23:10Artemisia annua.
23:11Yeah.
23:13It's the plant that a professor was researching in the lab.
23:18Alina must have been working on the malaria drug before she left Brevexam.
23:23So she knew about the side effects and her research, her notes, it was the pattern she was looking for.
23:28Yeah.
23:28Maybe she found evidence.
23:30Something she could prove Brevexam knew that they didn't want exposed.
23:34Well, they'd break into our house for that.
23:36And that would be a threat.
23:38I mean, you'll have to go after her and try and discredit her.
23:40Yeah, I bet it's worth killing her for.
23:42Yeah.
23:43I don't know.
23:44I mean, it's not just that.
23:45Why was she growing Artemisia annua?
23:47Why was she risking everything running a cannabis farm to fund her research?
23:50Alina was using what she learned about autismia annua at Brevexam to try and find a better alternative.
23:56An anti-malaria drug without the side effects.
23:58She didn't want to just expose Brevexam.
24:01She wanted to put them out of business.
24:03Yeah.
24:03Last motive enough to kill her.
24:06But how do you prove all of that?
24:09Well, proving what she was working on would be a start.
24:13Delphine Burrand.
24:15When I was searching the professor's emails, looking for connections to Brevexam,
24:19I pulled up a personal email from a Delphine Burrand.
24:23What's that about?
24:24A lift to work.
24:26They seem friendly.
24:27The dates match up.
24:29I mean, they worked in the same department and then left at the same time.
24:35Maybe she can tell us what they were working on and why they left.
24:38Great work, team.
24:40Well, let's find Delphine Burrand.
24:42Actually, we're going out tonight.
24:44Yeah, we're going speed dating.
24:46Yeah.
24:47But we're not with each other.
24:49But with each other, but not with each other.
24:55Um, well, Jake says I'll feel better if I meet new people.
24:58Ah.
25:00Celebrating any major milestones with your aunt tonight, Will?
25:03No, I'm on it.
25:05Okay.
25:06Well, I'll meet you there.
25:08I've got to go home and practice first.
25:09Cool.
25:10I'll practice for what?
25:25Hello, love.
25:27Hi.
25:28Fancy having dinner together this evening?
25:30Er, no, I can't.
25:32Er, I'm meeting a friend tonight and I need to practice.
25:35Oh, lovely.
25:36Great news.
25:38Er, never mind.
25:39Another time.
25:40Okay.
25:40Okay.
25:40Okay.
25:51Uh, so, I'm going to smile to make him feel comfortable.
25:55I'm going to laugh at his jokes, even if I don't understand them.
25:57And I practice my list of questions.
26:00What about you?
26:01I was just going to wing it.
26:02Hi.
26:14Hi.
26:14Hi.
26:15Are you a cat or dog person?
26:18Oh, I love both.
26:19This is just about whitening my social circle, you know?
26:23Hi.
26:24Hi.
26:25So, what do you do?
26:27Oh, I'm a police detective.
26:29Wow.
26:30Yeah.
26:30So, what do you like to do on the weekends?
26:32I'd like to go scuba diving.
26:35Oh.
26:35Whoever went.
26:36No, I wouldn't want to go scuba diving because of the risks.
26:39Decompression sickness, nitrogen narcosis, barotrauma.
26:44Like, where else would I meet one of those?
26:46Yeah, well, if you ever need to know how to dispose of a body, I'm your guy.
26:52Salt water aspiration, aero gas embolism.
26:55On the apps, there's always someone new.
26:58It's really easy to move on with this.
26:59This is a full six minutes, and you can't ghost me.
27:04Oxygen toxicity, disparate osteonecrosis, hypothermia.
27:10Most people just say they're scared of sharks.
27:12I like sharks.
27:16Hello.
27:17Hi.
27:17Oh.
27:21Why do people do this?
27:29Mom?
27:33I found Delphine Burand.
27:37Delphine was hospitalised after she attempted to take her own life 18 months ago.
27:52She hasn't woken up since.
27:53Her parents died of malaria, and according to the staff,
27:56Professor Barbieri was a regular visitor.
28:01Uh, can I help you?
28:07She overdosed on aconite.
28:09It's, um, used in Chinese medicine to treat malaria.
28:16And, uh, Delphine was using it to develop a homeopathic treatment.
28:21Hmm.
28:21Was she working with Alina to expose Brevexum?
28:25No.
28:27No, this is all Alina's paranoia.
28:30Delphine was deeply unhappy.
28:38And there was nothing any of us could do to help her.
28:44So what do you think?
28:45Yeah, his vulnerability was seductive, but, yeah, I don't know.
28:49How was speed dating?
28:51I didn't get any matches.
28:52I got two.
28:52I marked yes to everyone to improve my statistical probability of a match.
28:56Falling for someone isn't about the statistical probability.
29:00Well, there are studies to show that it is.
29:03Oh, that's bollocks.
29:04It's about your heart, headphones.
29:12That'd be number 56.
29:13Yeah.
29:18Don't you start.
29:26Patience.
29:49You asked me not to call your headphones, and I respect that.
29:52I just forgot.
29:53Just then.
29:53Won't happen again.
29:54I am good at reading people.
30:02I just, I find it hard to read you.
30:13Um, I don't think any of my dates last night realised I'm autistic.
30:22I was trying so hard to hide it.
30:32You don't have to be in disguise for someone to like you.
30:36I know what killed the professor.
30:50So, acacia wasn't the poison that killed Professor Barbieri.
30:54Plants are a poison, but also the cure.
30:56Well, we assumed it was acacia that killed her, but it was actually the cure in disguise.
31:00Cure for what?
31:01Delphine Burand, her colleague.
31:03She overdosed on aconite.
31:05Yeah, acacia leaves are the antidote for aconite.
31:07Yeah.
31:08So, what if Alina knew she was poisoned, ingested the leaves, because she knew it was also the cure?
31:13Yeah, aconite didn't come up on the toxicology report.
31:15Yeah, it's a poison you can't detect unless you're looking specifically for it.
31:19Yeah.
31:21Right, well, let's look for it.
31:30It's a pretty extraordinary coincidence that Alina was killed with the same poison that Delphine O'Deadon.
31:36Surely that's enough to go back to provexin with us.
31:38Ah, here you are.
31:40Okay.
31:42Both of you, here's another extraordinary thing.
31:45I'm sorry.
31:46Oh.
31:48Please, come to my house so I can cook you dinner to apologise properly.
31:53Aconite on toast.
31:57It's a joke.
31:59Sorry.
31:59I did it again, didn't I?
32:02Uh, Alina wasn't at work all day, as we thought, on the day that she were killed.
32:07Timely interruption, thank you, Will.
32:09She attended an appointment to register her a new plant species.
32:13But it wasn't in her diary.
32:17Future love.
32:18Well, I can head down there, find out who she spoke to.
32:21Don't plants normally have Latin names?
32:24Well, that's a scientific name, Mum.
32:25Future love is the common name.
32:28Me and Gardens.
32:31Patience.
32:32Future love, that's a book title.
32:34I've seen that before at Alina's lab in Rifforth.
32:39Let's go.
32:49Yeah, there it is.
32:55Future love.
32:56There's an inscription, um,
33:05To my darling Alina, when our bodies entwine.
33:11I'd write.
33:14It's the only moment that matters to our future together, all my love.
33:20Delphine.
33:22Alina and Delphine were lovers.
33:23Yeah.
33:25Um, what's...
33:28I think you just found what Brevexan are looking for.
33:38This is incendiary.
33:50Could change the outcome of the court case.
33:52So why didn't she hand them in?
33:53She stole them.
33:55And Brevexan would have seen her go to jail and they implicate Delphine.
33:58I mean, I think she was waiting until she finished her research to secure the bigger win.
34:01So someone at Brevexan's got a motive for murder.
34:08Dr. Parsons, you're on speaker.
34:11We have a cause of death.
34:13But the levels of aconite in Elissa Barbieri's blood were high enough to kill her.
34:17Good call, Patience.
34:18So the same obscure poison that put Delphine in her coma was used to kill Alina?
34:23Absolutely.
34:25It's enough to bring Wilson in for questioning.
34:27And to secure a warrant for Brevexan's HR records and emails.
34:30Let's line up everything perfectly before we serve that slimeball Ms. Wilson.
34:34Thank you, Dr. Parsons.
34:35Uh, uh, sorry.
34:36No, um, Dr. Parsons, isn't aconite very fast acting?
34:39Yes, extremely.
34:41I mean, it could only have been administered a few moments before she died.
34:44So then the killer must have been inside the tropical greenhouse with Professor Barbieri?
34:47Yeah, but there were no alarms, no struggle, nothing to suggest an intruder.
34:51So then Alina knew her killer trusted them enough to let them in?
34:56Yeah.
34:57That doesn't line up with a Brevexan assassin.
35:00Tell me you have another suspect.
35:14There is a connection between these two women, which tells us how Alina died.
35:20Why can't I see it?
35:29You asked to speak to me?
35:31Yes.
35:32You spoke to one of my colleagues, who said you recognised this woman as a regular visitor.
35:36Alina, yeah.
35:38What did she do when she was here?
35:40Did she talk to her?
35:41Um, sometimes she read to her.
35:43Um, she bought those.
35:46Yeah, um, the blue rose.
35:50Unusual, isn't it?
35:52Well, blue roses don't actually exist in nature.
35:57I've seen this before.
36:03Here, thank you.
36:06So, this was the scene where Delphine's body was in.
36:11It was treated as a crime scene before they officially ruled it as an attempted suicide.
36:18Who found her?
36:19Um, her husband, Tobias.
36:21It says in his statement, he knocked over the vase in a panic and it shudder on the floor.
36:27Tobias Burund.
36:29I knew I wasn't sure about you.
36:30Oh.
36:42Oh.
36:42So, each plant grown from seed has its own unique DNA.
36:51So, to create a truly blue rose, the professor must have modified the genetic code of a white one to create an entirely new breed.
36:59It's...
36:59It's amazing.
37:01Oh.
37:06Any luck, Will.
37:09Drug squad's got hours of CCTV footage, but I found him.
37:13Tobias Burund.
37:14He arrives, snoops around.
37:21And he stops by a particular plant in the East Greenhouse.
37:26It's not a blue rose by any chance, is it?
37:29It's a black and white cameraman.
37:30And then, what does he do next, exactly?
37:35Uh, he looks at it, steps close to it, then he reaches for something inside the plant pot.
37:39Could be a label.
37:41And he takes it out to look at it.
37:45Scientific name, Rosa Delphinium.
37:47It's after Delphine.
37:50Then he looks quite upset.
37:52What's the date on the tape?
37:53Bus, I spoke to some of the staff.
38:02His alibi stands up.
38:03His phone records show he was in the city centre, and the waiter in the restaurant remembers him.
38:07The waiter says he ate dinner with the woman, and then stayed until closing, drinking on his own.
38:10Left a big tip.
38:11Yeah, of course he did.
38:13He wanted to be remembered.
38:14Did you get a description of the woman he ate dinner with?
38:16Yeah.
38:17Why did you not mention you had dinner with Alina Barbieri the night she died?
38:21Alina asked to meet me.
38:24Um, I agreed to dinner.
38:28But it was just as I feared.
38:29All she wanted to talk about was her paranoid Breveks and conspiracy theories.
38:35We had a row.
38:36She left.
38:38I stayed and finished the bottle of wine.
38:41I was annoyed with myself for falling out with her.
38:45Could have been the last person to see her alive.
38:49Apart from the murderer.
38:51Why did you lie?
38:57When you tell people that your wife attempted to kill herself, they look at you a certain way.
39:04There's a...
39:06There's an unspoken question.
39:09How did you let that happen?
39:11I suppose I'm tired of being looked at with suspicion.
39:16I'm sorry.
39:19I hope I haven't set your investigation back.
39:22I stayed at the restaurant drinking until closing.
39:28Did the waiter tell you?
39:29I know he did it.
39:35But how?
39:37He was at the restaurant when Alina died.
39:39There's witnesses.
39:41CCTV footage shows him entering and leaving.
39:44He couldn't have administered the poison.
39:45How do you know?
39:47Well, I've sat down dozens of guys who've killed or tried to kill their wives and he's just...
39:52He's got the same...
39:54I know he killed Alina and I know he tried to kill Delphine.
39:58It's just the timeline says it's impossible.
40:00Well, maybe there's another way of looking at the timeline.
40:03Alina was given the poison by someone she trusted moments before she died when Tobias Byron...
40:09Er, you've just made a leap in logic.
40:11How?
40:12Well, the poison must have been ingested moments before she died, but she could have been given it earlier.
40:21Into something she trusted.
40:23Without her knowing.
40:25Of course.
40:28We, er, found this.
40:30On Alina's body.
40:32That's nothing unusual.
40:33She was asthmatic, but...
40:36When we tested it, it was filled with powdered acolyte.
40:43We traced the unique serial number on the inhaler and...
40:54It was purchased with your credit card.
40:56Can you explain that?
41:00No comment.
41:03It was ordered the same day you were captured on CCTV visiting Rufforth Farm.
41:08Something inspire and impulse buy?
41:10No comment.
41:14Do you know the thing I love about this job is getting to learn new stuff every day.
41:18Did you know that every plant has a unique DNA?
41:24It's like ours, only simpler.
41:25I...
41:26No comment.
41:29No comment.
41:29So when we test the acolyte in that inhaler, I'm guessing that it has the exact same DNA as an acolyte plant in your garden.
41:38No comment.
41:40You only need to say that when I ask you a question.
41:42It's a nice touch, tipping the waiter so generously.
41:45Could have saved yourself the money and got us to check the CCTV.
41:48There wasn't any covering our table.
41:50I...
41:51Checked, did you?
41:58So you knew it was safe to swap the inhaler in Alina's bag with the one you filled with powdered acolyte?
42:05When Delphine told you she was leaving you for someone else, how did it feel?
42:19You felt helpless.
42:22Yeah?
42:24Angry.
42:27So you poisoned her with her acolyte medicine.
42:30But you didn't quite manage to kill her, and you still didn't know who she was cheating on you with.
42:38That must have been agony.
42:45You know, the thing I think that tipped you over the edge was when you knew it was Alina,
42:50was realizing just how truly, deeply in love they were.
42:54Rare, special.
42:55No.
42:56No.
42:56We found a dedication from Delphine to Alina in one of the books that Alina always read to her.
43:04To my darling Alina.
43:04Don't. Don't.
43:06When our bodies entwine...
43:07Alina was a corrupting whore!
43:16Killing her was the easiest way to end the suffering, wasn't it?
43:20Yes.
43:31I didn't know we had the resources to test plant DNA.
43:35We don't.
43:36Tio.
43:43We shared the files that we found in Alina's things with a serious fraud office and the legal team fighting Brevexan.
43:52And they think they're dynamite.
43:54She got them in the end then.
43:56You gonna be okay?
43:57I...
43:58Yeah.
43:59Time to sort out my head, I guess.
44:01Yeah.
44:01Oh, hey, can you, um, could you do me a favor?
44:08Could you make sure Paco's looked after her?
44:19So glad you could both make it.
44:21Oh, do you want us to take our shoes off?
44:23Oh, yeah.
44:23Shoes on, shoes off.
44:25Just make yourself at home.
44:27Can I get you a drink?
44:29Yeah.
44:30Would you like a mocktail?
44:31Yeah.
44:31Yeah?
44:31Mocktail?
44:32Cocktail?
44:33Yeah, I'd love a cocktail, yeah, please.
44:37Wow.
44:39All this on the DI side of it, yeah.
44:53This place is amazing.
44:55Oh, yeah.
44:56Thanks.
44:57Um, this is the first time I've used this pan.
44:58It comes already seasoned with flax oil.
45:02Um, the pan's cast iron, but the handle stays cool.
45:05Wow.
45:06Is this your mum?
45:10Yeah.
45:11Look, she's not around anymore.
45:15You've got to try these olives before the main event.
45:18They're so tasty.
45:19Absolutely divine.
45:31Oh.
45:3330 euros, a jar, including postage.
45:36So, now we know all the parcels coming to the office.
45:40Mmm.
45:40Mmm.
45:41I'm going to get you a drink.
45:46Sit down.
45:47Sit down.
45:47Sit down.
45:48Sit down.
45:48That one's yours.
45:59Ah, thank you.
46:00Yes.
46:01Cheers.
46:02Cheers.
46:03Cheers.
46:03Cheers.
46:04Cheers.
46:04Come on.
