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