00:00You
00:44You're dead.
00:55And this is exactly why she didn't get picked for the production of Phantom we did in the second year.
01:00The arms, fine, but the open mouth.
01:02Hey!
01:05You got her pretty quickly.
01:07Oh, please.
01:08That's our prime suspect right there.
01:11I'm the absolute worst at this.
01:14You were very quiet.
01:15Yeah, I didn't hear you coming.
01:16It's always the quiet one.
01:19Right, well, oh, I think we've got time to squeeze one more round in.
01:21Oh, God forbid we derail the organised fun schedule.
01:26Freddy, come on.
01:27Same as before.
01:29Yep.
01:30Pick a number, get ready to hide, pick the Joker, and you're our killer.
01:36Alright.
01:36Oh, sucker.
01:48Oh, boy.
01:50Writing on the Day-G вед down her body.
01:51gloves on.
01:51Oh, my God.
01:52Oh, yeah.
01:53Oh, my God.
01:53Oh, my God.
01:53I Jonathan.
01:53Oh, my God.
01:53Oh, my God.
01:53Oh, my God.
01:54Oh, my God.
01:55Oh.
01:56Oh, my God.
01:57Oh, my God.
01:58Oh, my God.
02:02I'm so excited.
02:02Oh, my God.
02:03Oh, my God.
02:12Unlucky.
02:13It looks like you're my unfortunate victim.
02:15I always knew you were a dark horse.
02:17Come on, play nice.
02:19No, I'm not getting on the floor.
02:22Fine.
02:23Just stay there.
02:24Twenty seconds, and then you shout out.
02:26Anything for you, Mrs. Starling.
02:29One.
02:30Two.
02:32And you best get going.
02:33Clock's ticking.
02:34Three.
02:35Four.
02:37Five.
02:55Lights on!
02:58Yes, I thought it was me.
03:00Definitely came from upstairs.
03:02No.
03:02No.
03:03Any other ideas?
03:05No one up here.
03:07You're there, Ryan.
03:09We're looking for Freddy, then.
03:10Let's find the party, Pooper.
03:11Anyone check the library?
03:12No.
03:13What about downstairs?
03:14Maybe the kitchen?
03:16Let's do the library first.
03:18Perfect place for a murder.
03:20Maybe it was Colonel Mustard with the Boer War Bayonet.
03:25He's not in here, either.
03:29No, he's here.
03:32Freddy?
03:34Oh, no.
03:35Get out of here.
03:36Oh, my God.
03:37Oh, my God.
03:50I'll get it.
03:55I'll get it.
03:57You go say it quick.
03:58They always do when someone...
04:01When something like this happens.
04:04He was sat right there, just making us all laugh, and now he's just...
04:13Everyone is in the sitting room.
04:15Freddy is.
04:16He's upstairs in the library.
04:19There's a knife, and it's...
04:22It's okay.
04:23We'll take it from here.
04:25Just...
04:26It's a shock.
04:28Forensics should be here any minute, but I want to get that crime scene cordoned off,
04:31then we'll start taking witness statements.
04:33Sarge.
04:34On it, Bob.
04:34Now, I know you'll want to call Judith and Susie,
04:37but I really think that first we should get an idea of...
04:48Oh, good.
04:49You're here.
04:54Bex.
04:54Are you all right?
04:55What happened, Bex?
04:58This place is proper creepy.
05:01Are you scared?
05:02Somewhere like this has got to be haunted.
05:04100%.
05:05If only ghosts actually existed, then you'd be in trouble.
05:08Just because you haven't seen one.
05:09Are you honestly telling me you believe in all that?
05:11I'm open-minded.
05:12You listen to a podcast, right?
05:14Look, you said some of those stories are weird, too.
05:16Oh.
05:21Well, there's some vicious ghost.
05:25Here you go.
05:25Thanks.
05:27Here.
05:29A little help.
05:36We were playing a game of murder in the dark,
05:38and I was the killer in the game,
05:40and I found Freddy in the library.
05:43He shouted 20 seconds later, like he was supposed to,
05:46and I thought it was part of the game.
05:49But it must have been real,
05:50because when we went to find him...
05:55Go.
05:56We've secured the crime scene.
05:59Excuse me.
06:02Thank you for coming.
06:03I'm sorry.
06:04I know it's late.
06:05I've spoken to Colin.
06:06I told him what happened.
06:08He's offered to come,
06:09but I don't think he'd be allowed.
06:11Oh, Bex.
06:13We're going to find out who did this.
06:15Don't you worry.
06:16Absolutely.
06:20Oh, it's Friday.
06:22Susie, wasn't your date tonight?
06:24Really?
06:25Now?
06:25Date?
06:26Yes.
06:27Please.
06:28Well, yeah, it was, but I was already home.
06:31A little more detail would be appreciated.
06:33Inspired by your blossoming relationship with the good professor.
06:37It's just a friendship.
06:38Yeah, whatever.
06:39I thought I'd dip my toe back in,
06:41and, you know, it was going really well for about 20 seconds.
06:45And then this fool asked me to take my shoes off before getting into his jeg.
06:49No.
06:50He was not for me.
06:52Bex?
06:53Can you come through a minute, please?
07:03These are all locked up.
07:06They won't budge.
07:07So our killer must have come in from the hallway.
07:10Our victim's got his back to the door.
07:12They grab the nearest and easiest weapon
07:15and get Mr Thatcher Hughes in the back
07:17before he's even had time to turn around.
07:20We've obviously got a lot of questions to ask you in the coming hours.
07:23Given the distance most of you have travelled,
07:25I'd ask that you please stay in the house overnight
07:27so that we can speak to each of you.
07:29Stay here.
07:30Where Freddie died?
07:32If you head home, it'll make the process a lot longer and more complicated.
07:37If you don't want to stay here,
07:38you're more than welcome to join me back at the station.
07:41Whatever we can do to help.
07:43Is it safe?
07:44We've done a full sweep of the house.
07:46There's no one else here.
07:47And we'll ensure there's officers with you overnight.
07:50I want to speak to each of you individually,
07:52but before we get started,
07:53has anyone else entered or left the house this evening?
07:57It was just the six of us.
07:59Yeah, since we got back at dinner time.
08:02Just the six of you.
08:06You don't think it was one of us?
08:08That's impossible.
08:11Sorry, Bex, but I'm going to need your lanyard back.
08:13You're too close to this one.
08:41Did Freddie ever do anything that could have led to this?
08:44I mean, Freddie was always at the center of some drama,
08:47from what I gather, but he was charming.
08:48He got away with it.
08:51He stole one of Oscar's girlfriends at some point,
08:54and Freddie and Ryan always had this weird rivalry going.
08:57I think they always saw themselves as the official leader of the group.
09:00But you need it to be a really long time to hold on to a grudge, surely?
09:03People can be extremely petty.
09:06Lest we forget, the Trojan War essentially began
09:09because Paris stole Helen from Menelaus.
09:13Bex, we're about to start taking statements.
09:16It'd be really useful if you could give us a bit of background on everyone.
09:18Oh, sure.
09:19Whatever I can do.
09:31Thank you, ladies.
09:32Oh, no.
09:33We'll just go and take a look around.
09:35Help me, Susie.
09:35Yeah.
09:40I know you're still there.
09:42On our way.
09:42Sorry.
09:47Okay, so Ryan.
09:49Ryan Hill.
09:50You might know his name.
09:51He runs the Top of the Hill Foundation.
09:53He was kind of like the dad of the group at uni.
09:56Yeah.
09:57Don't tell him that.
09:58He'd hate it.
09:59He likes to think of himself as a high flyer.
10:02He struggled with his studies, though.
10:05But it lit a fire under him, and he's worked his socks off since.
10:08I hope he has spoken to Marie, his wife.
10:12I've got a number if you need one.
10:13Don't worry.
10:14We're taking care of all that.
10:16I gather you and Freddie were close.
10:17Definitely.
10:19We text all the time.
10:20We have dinner whenever we can.
10:25He was best man at my wedding.
10:28We'll make this quick.
10:29We just want to get an idea of the timeline today.
10:31Una Weaver.
10:32She organised it and found this place.
10:35The reunion was her suggestion.
10:36We were here for an hour or so.
10:38I guess.
10:40Picked our rooms.
10:41Then went for a walk through the woods to the Jolly Farmer for lunch.
10:44Jessica Rawlinson.
10:46She's a solicitor in the city.
10:48I'm surprised she came.
10:49She does take us up a little less seriously than she used to.
10:52I just want to clarify, this is a witness statement, not an interview.
10:55Correct?
10:56That's correct.
10:57Right.
10:58After lunch, we walked back through the woods.
11:00We got back about five.
11:02Ryan a bit earlier, he had some games to set up.
11:05Una had arranged cocktails on the terrace.
11:08Oscar Nielsen.
11:09He works for Ryan's foundation in finance.
11:12He's sort of a hero worshipped him since we were 18.
11:15He was expelled from uni ahead of the final exams.
11:19Plagiarism in his dissertation.
11:20It was a hard knock to recover from.
11:22Well, after dinner, Ryan had set one of his legendary treasure hunts.
11:26He's a brilliant games master who used to throw these incredible parties when we were at university.
11:31Deck out the whole house with these, uh...
11:34Sorry.
11:36I'm rambling.
11:37Um...
11:37Don't worry.
11:38Nearly there.
11:40Is there anything else we should know about today?
11:44Anything out of the ordinary?
11:46Any arguments or frictions within the group?
11:49No.
11:50No.
11:51Hmm.
11:52Not that I noticed.
11:53No.
11:59Oh.
12:00Stabbed in the back.
12:02What a cowardly way to do it.
12:04I've yet to hear of a noble way.
12:07Oh, hold on.
12:08Something's not right.
12:09You cannot see a clue from here, Judith.
12:11No way.
12:12Uh, Jason.
12:14How can I help you, Mrs. Potts?
12:15Um, the label on Freddy's jacket.
12:18What brand is it?
12:20Ah, it's a Greyhott.
12:21Oh, my father had a Greyhott jacket.
12:24Bespoke tailoring.
12:26Savile row.
12:26Hmm.
12:27Expensive.
12:28Exactly.
12:29But the stitching on the trousers is all over the place.
12:31Off the peg, I reckon.
12:33Thank you, Jason.
12:34You know, someone like Freddy, someone who owned clothes like that, surely they'd know that's
12:40not how you pair an outfit.
12:41Hmm.
12:42That's done corrected.
12:43No fingerprints on the knife.
12:44The only thing that's caused the death is most likely to be exsanguination.
12:48The blade completely severed the thoracic aorta, causing massive internal bleeding.
12:52He probably died almost instantly.
12:55Um, we'd best have it.
12:58Yeah.
12:58Yeah.
12:59I think we should pay Mr. Freddy Thatcher Hughes a room of his it.
13:02Hey, forensics do have to sweep that room, so whatever you're scarpering off to do,
13:07just do it properly.
13:11Sir.
13:12Can you tell me where you were when Freddy was killed?
13:15I was in the parlour upstairs.
13:17It seemed like a good place to hide.
13:20Did you see anyone else?
13:21I saw Oscar.
13:22He was on that top corridor just before.
13:27It happened.
13:29Oscar was on the top floor, but I'm pretty sure there was someone outside the library.
13:35Yes, there was somebody by the library.
13:37Um, couldn't tell you, but, um, Bex wasn't there.
13:42She might know.
13:43I came straight downstairs, but I didn't see anyone until I passed Jessica in the sitting
13:47room doorway.
13:48I just assumed everyone else was upstairs until Bex walked past.
13:56What do you think?
13:58That it's convenient everyone's got an alibi and that they're all corroborated by each other.
14:16Oh, you can't have been that stylish.
14:18My granddad had a pair like this and he used to wear clogs.
14:21Oh, sorry.
14:24What's happened?
14:25I've been trying to hire a builder for weeks, but I've been, I believe the term is ghosted,
14:30three times.
14:32Finally, someone who might be able to help.
14:34Easier to find a husband in Marlow than it is a builder.
14:36If he's any good, give me my number.
14:39So you can hire him or marry him?
14:40Hmm, time will tell.
14:43The bathroom.
15:06The mystery of the mismatched outfit is solved.
15:11I've got something.
15:13Come and have a look at this.
15:20No wood or coal?
15:22No, just paper.
15:23It looks like...
15:25Somebody's burned a book.
15:30You all gave me detailed accounts of the day, but no mention of how Freddy got so muddy
15:34he needed to change clothes.
15:40I'm sorry.
15:41It's just...
15:43There was a small incident on the way back.
15:46Hey, hey, hey, I actually...
15:47It was my fault.
15:48I accidentally kicked some mud up at Freddy.
15:52Are you kidding me?
15:54Oscar said he offered to pay for the dry cleaning, but Freddy, he overreacted.
15:59Got a bit shatty.
16:00Yeah.
16:01Wouldn't drop it.
16:03You are infected with failure.
16:04Freddy, there's trousers.
16:05Look, every part of your pathetic life, right?
16:07You've got no wife, got no kids.
16:08You've got barely any friends.
16:09Just a dull job.
16:11One day the charm is going to run out and everyone will see what you really are.
16:14You're going to go too far, and you'll regret it.
16:20You told me he shouted.
16:22You didn't tell me you threatened him.
16:25None of you did.
16:26I just wanted to get through to him without him laughing at me, and it worked.
16:31Freddy actually apologised for the first time ever.
16:35I'm certainly not his biggest fan, but I didn't hurt him.
16:41Right, and none of you thought to mention this earlier.
16:43I know how it looks, but you don't know Oscar like we do.
16:46I mean, there's no way he could do something like this.
16:49Are you certain about that?
16:50Because earlier, it didn't sound like you were particularly close anymore.
16:53I'm not, but I know him.
16:55I mean, we've all known him since he was 18.
16:57It's not enough.
16:57Look, I've worked with Oscar for over a decade.
17:00He couldn't have killed Freddy.
17:02It wasn't meant to be a lie.
17:04It was just an omission.
17:06I really thought I'd be able to trust your word on this one.
17:09Anything else you're holding back, I suggest you tell us sooner rather than later.
17:26Anything else from the breakfast club?
17:28An argument this afternoon.
17:29Turns out they're not the tight unit they're purporting to be.
17:32Right, well, forensics are nearly done upstairs, and I've got the burnt pages from the fireplace ready for the lab.
17:36Great.
17:38Jason and Alice, I want you both here until uniforms come to relieve you.
17:41And double-check the cellar for any ways in or out.
17:44Coffee.
17:44Coffee.
17:48You're welcome to join the briefing tomorrow morning, but I have rules.
17:51I need you to keep your distance from Bex.
17:54At best, she's a witness.
17:55At worst, a suspect.
17:57Investigators, you have to, but you are only to talk to her as you would a suspect.
18:01She is not to help you with the case at all.
18:03Understood?
18:04Entirely.
18:05We'll see you in the morning.
18:07Bright and early.
18:09Coffee's on us.
18:11A couple of muffins wouldn't go amiss either.
18:14Blueberry, please.
18:29Well, no one got in all right this way.
18:33Why does it feel like this wasn't the first person to die in this house?
18:36I mean, statistically, dozens have probably died in a house this age.
18:40Look, when you think about it, someone has died in most houses.
18:42Your flight is Victorian.
18:43You're over a century old.
18:44Yeah, this isn't helping.
18:45I thought you weren't scared.
18:46I'm not.
18:47Help!
18:48Officer, please!
18:58Officer, please!
19:01Hello?
19:03Hello?
19:04Please!
19:05I'm sorry!
19:07What's happened?
19:08Are you all right?
19:09I thought I heard footsteps.
19:10It sounded like they were coming from above.
19:11It's the attic.
19:13I opened it by accident earlier and now it's locked.
19:15What's happening?
19:16Is everything all right?
19:17It's okay.
19:18You both go back to bed and we're looking to this.
19:21Did you hear the footsteps above?
19:23I was far as to sleep.
19:24You've been through a lot tonight, Mrs. Weaver.
19:26It's an old house with warping doors and faulty locks.
19:29It must happen all the time.
19:30Okay?
19:31Officers, check the whole house.
19:34I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
19:37Okay.
19:53First rule of a horror movie.
19:55Never go upstairs.
20:05Oh.
20:07Damn.
20:11Let's just see if it's nice.
20:13Huh?
20:14Yeah.
20:16Yeah.
20:17I'm going down now.
20:17Yeah.
20:18Wait.
20:19Wait.
20:40Oh, good morning.
20:41We've thought about what you said and obviously we have a vested interest in this case.
20:45But it just means we're more determined to solve it.
20:48In the right way.
20:50Good.
20:51So, what do we have?
20:52Well, we've informed Marie Thatcher Hughes of her husband's death, the witness is placed
20:57her in Bath.
20:58According to reports, it sounds like your standard marriage.
21:01Standard marriage?
21:02I never took you for such romantic, Brendan.
21:06We managed to track down the owner of the house, Hector Bly, currently on a whiskey tour of the Highlands.
21:13All right for some.
21:14Yeah.
21:14And after the trouser argument, we looked into Oscar Nilsen.
21:18There's not even a parking ticket in his name.
21:20So, seems an unlikely culprit.
21:23Is there any information about further comings and goings from the house?
21:26We checked the motion sensor security lights on the front and back lawn.
21:29The sensors were lost triggered at 5 or 7 p.m., which matches the time the group said they
21:33returned to the house.
21:34So, no one went in or out after that time?
21:37How's our layout looking?
21:38Oh, well, we've got Freddie Thatcher Hughes' body in the library, and then Ryan Hill on the
21:47first floor, and then Oscar outside his bedroom on the second floor.
21:53Oh, and then downstairs in the entrance hall, you've got Jessica Rawlinson and Rebecca Starling.
22:02Yeah, well, don't forget Una.
22:03Yeah, Una Weaver in the parlour.
22:06And then there's the mystery figure outside the library, supposedly seen by two people.
22:12Did anything interesting crop up after we left last night?
22:14Well, it's probably nothing, but Mrs. Weaver thought she heard footsteps in the attic.
22:20We went to check it out, but there was nothing up there.
22:22You should hear the racket my pipes make.
22:25And that's not a euphemism.
22:27Houses make strange noises.
22:29It's a thing.
22:30Doesn't mean they're haunted.
22:32He's right.
22:33When you're scared, you hear what you want to hear.
22:36There was no one else in the house.
22:38All the evidence suggests it's one of the houseguests.
22:40But why risk killing Freddy with so few suspects?
22:44Surely the murderer would know that the investigation would focus on that small group.
22:48We saw how Freddy was killed.
22:50That wasn't premeditated.
22:52It was opportunistic.
22:55Someone's story isn't adding up.
23:14Morning.
23:17We were just talking about when Freddy decided academia was boring and he wanted to be a TV presenter instead.
23:23Such a weird couple of months.
23:25Thank God he reconsidered.
23:27Who really thought those frosted tips made him look edgy?
23:30Yeah, until he went swimming and the chlorine turned them bright green.
23:37I hate this.
23:39The police pulled my room apart last night.
23:42They're just being thorough.
23:45What do you think happened?
23:47Someone just broke in and did that.
23:51Jesus, if it's wrong time, wrong place, that's hideous.
23:55Well, I'd rather that than the alternative.
24:00How long do you think they'll keep us here?
24:03Maybe you should check in with a colleague.
24:05Someone who specializes in this sort of thing.
24:07Check everything they're asking of us is above board.
24:09Oh, yes.
24:10I'll just reveal to the people I've been working with for the last decade that I'm involved in a murder
24:14case.
24:15I mean, that'll keep the water cooler busy.
24:18I know these officers.
24:20Clearly.
24:21I'm not getting any special treatment, if that's what you're suggesting.
24:24Well, you've folded about Oscar and Freddy's argument pretty quickly.
24:27I bet you've told them who you think is capable of murder.
24:30I really cannot comprehend that anyone in this room could hurt Freddy.
24:33But if anyone can get to the bottom of it, that team can.
24:36We need to do everything we can to help them.
24:40Unless you've got something to hide.
24:42Of course not.
24:43No.
24:44Well, I'm suspect number one if I refuse to play along now, aren't I?
24:54We don't have to put it up.
24:56No, we've got to do this properly.
25:03Oh, it's my builder.
25:04Excuse me.
25:07Hello?
25:07Yes.
25:08Oh, what time?
25:12Oh, I see.
25:13Well, hopefully I will be.
25:17Apparently, he's going to do his best to pot by later.
25:20But he can't guarantee a time.
25:22Or that he'll even turn up.
25:23Well, there'll be no marrying him now, if that's his attitude.
25:28Judith.
25:29Look at this.
25:32There's words visible.
25:34Be.
25:35Am.
25:36Is.
25:39Until.
25:43Demeet.
25:44Anything else?
25:45Oh, wait a minute.
25:50Harker.
25:52It must have been Dracula that they burned in the fireplace.
25:54That's very impressive.
25:56Keanu Reeves films from the 90s.
25:58Basically, my specialist subject.
26:01You are a woman of many talents, Susie Harris.
26:03I think it might be time for us to find out why Freddy had such a strong dislike for gothic
26:10fiction.
26:11I've got the report back on Freddy's phone.
26:13A few snippy messages to colleagues, but nothing warranting murder.
26:16The one thing that did ring alarm bells, ten days before the reunion, Freddy received twelve missed calls, all from
26:22the same number.
26:23We traced it.
26:24Una Weaver's phone.
26:25Right.
26:26Let's get over there now.
26:27Alice, Jason, keep looking into socials for suspects.
26:29Gov.
26:35Gov.
26:36I haven't seen these before.
26:37Bex.
26:39Bex.
26:39Their presence.
26:40The police put more there once they'd finished searching.
26:43Advanced copies signed for each of us.
26:46Climbing to the top of the hill.
26:48By Ryan Hill.
26:49He means well.
26:51There's one missing.
26:53Freddy's copy isn't here.
26:55I'm assuming he got the same book.
26:57Yes, there are words.
26:58That'll be Tanika.
26:59This may seem odd, but does Dracula mean anything to you?
27:03He did his PhD in gothic literature.
27:05Maybe there's a connection.
27:07I am not helping them at all.
27:14I'm just doing the dishes.
27:21Well.
27:23I know it doesn't sound it after what he said to Oscar,
27:27but Freddy lit up a room.
27:29If there was ever anything wrong,
27:30he was the first to whisk you off for drinks and dancing
27:33or some sort of adventure.
27:37Being his friend was so fun.
27:41Had you seen him much since you left uni?
27:44Not as much as I'd like.
27:46We went for lunch about five years ago
27:48when he was in commentary for work.
27:49Other than that, it's basically Christmas and birthday messages each year.
27:54If that's the case, why did you repeatedly call him on the 16th?
27:57Hmm.
27:58Twelve missed calls.
27:59All from your number.
28:01Oh, I didn't, um...
28:03I didn't realise it was twelve.
28:06He hadn't replied about whether he was coming,
28:08so I thought I'd call just to talk to him,
28:12but, uh, kept going to voicemail.
28:15So you bombarded him?
28:17Hmm?
28:18Why?
28:19If he wasn't here, it wouldn't have been perfect.
28:22Why did it have to be perfect?
28:25I just remembered how much fun we had
28:26and how I missed everyone,
28:28so I decided to throw the reunion.
28:33I know it doesn't look good,
28:35but I just wanted Freddie here.
28:37Twelve calls would certainly suggest that.
28:40Is there anything else you want to tell us?
28:41No.
28:42Oh.
28:44Actually, um...
28:45What is it?
28:46It's just...
28:46You found a burnt book?
28:48Hmm.
28:50Freddie came looking for matches before we went to lunch.
28:53I didn't even think to ask him why he needed them.
28:55I thought he'd started smoking again.
28:57But I should have asked him.
29:00Shouldn't I?
29:02Things like that never seem significant until afterwards.
29:05But thank you.
29:07That's all you know.
29:09Yeah, that's everything.
29:18Well, that wasn't entirely convincing, was it?
29:20Mm-hmm.
29:28What's that?
29:31I, uh...
29:32I have to tell you something.
29:41So Freddie's copy of Ryan's book will be in here somewhere.
29:45Assume so.
29:48Oh, Judith!
29:49You might want to see this.
29:57Times like this, I wish I could lip-read.
29:59Mm.
30:00Yeah.
30:00Una just pulled me aside,
30:02said Jessica was lying.
30:05She said earlier
30:06that she hadn't seen Freddie in years.
30:10Yep.
30:11But Una saw a photo of both of them
30:15at an alumni event a few months ago.
30:20Got it.
30:21What's she up to?
30:25Oh, yes, begs!
30:28Colin's sending us the transcript.
30:29It sounds like there might be some incriminating photos
30:33of Jessica for us to track down.
30:34Oh, well done, begs.
30:36I'm still managing to obey Tanika to the letter.
30:39If Jessica's been lying to the police
30:41about her relationship with Freddie,
30:42that changes everything.
30:44Right, you keep looking for the book.
30:45I'm going to find these photos.
30:50So, dating.
30:52Hmm.
30:52That's a new decision.
30:53Well, it's just a bit of fun.
30:55I mean, if I was taking it that seriously,
30:57I would not be booked into speed dating
30:59at the Churchill Tap this evening.
31:01Sounds like my idea of hell.
31:03Well, if nothing else,
31:04you always get a good story.
31:08Oh!
31:09Yes!
31:10Easy!
31:11I got it.
31:16Jessica, may we have a word?
31:19I've already spoken to the police.
31:20If the DI wants to talk again,
31:22I'll call a lawyer and we can do this properly.
31:25Very well.
31:26It seems you lied to the police.
31:28And as a legal professional with a reputation to uphold,
31:32we thought you might want to handle it discreetly.
31:35But we can always catch DI Mallet before she leaves.
31:38Okay, wait.
31:39What are you talking about?
31:39I honestly don't know.
31:41You said you hadn't seen Freddie for years.
31:43But we have photographs that suggest otherwise.
31:46This is you.
31:47Nice dress.
31:48At the Future Leaders event.
31:51And, oh, that's Freddie.
31:54Isn't it?
31:56I didn't know he was there.
31:58There are hundreds of people.
32:00Any of those photos show us together?
32:04That's not evidence.
32:06And our names aren't on those pictures,
32:08which means the only reason you found them
32:10is because somebody told you about them.
32:12Are you trying to throw me under the bus to shift the blame?
32:15That's not what we...
32:15Why did you lie about it?
32:16The same reason I backed up Oscar.
32:18It doesn't look good, does it?
32:20Nice to know no one will do the same for me.
32:22Someone died.
32:23No one should be backing anyone up.
32:26We're not accusing you of anything.
32:27No.
32:28Well, it doesn't feel that way.
32:34You weren't there, okay?
32:35It was creepy.
32:36I could walk around that place all night.
32:38Pitch black.
32:39It wouldn't bother me at all.
32:41I guess I'm just good at keeping my cool.
32:44Ah!
32:45It's unprofessional.
32:46It's a place of work.
32:49So, I've spoken to Judith.
32:51Jessica lied about when she last saw Freddie
32:52and Una knew about it and hid it from us.
32:54They're our priority.
32:56Let's push, see if they're holding anything else back.
32:59We have a bigger problem.
33:01Found this picture on social media.
33:03And Bex said she barely knew him.
33:10You didn't tell us about Freddie's argument with Oscar
33:12and now I learn there's something else you're hiding.
33:14I told you everything I know.
33:16All the truth.
33:17This all looks a bit cosy
33:18for someone who said she barely knew him.
33:21Oh, that.
33:23When I came back from Italy,
33:24I met Freddie and he asked me out.
33:26But it was nothing.
33:27Really.
33:28We went on two dates.
33:30That was more than enough for me to know
33:31that I didn't want a third.
33:33All I learnt was that he's rude to waiters
33:35and he loves a Vesper martini.
33:38It was such a long time ago.
33:39You should have said.
33:40I had no intention of withholding anything
33:43and there's nothing else, I promise.
33:44I just...
33:46didn't think.
33:48Look,
33:49I know it's been a stressful day
33:52and I think it's clear
33:53that you didn't have anything to do with Freddie's death.
33:55But that's not going to stop me
33:56getting banned from hiring civilian advisors.
34:00Bex, I really thought I could rely on you.
34:03You can.
34:04Of course you can.
34:08Alice.
34:09Hmm?
34:10Check this.
34:12Freddie's credit card statement.
34:14He paid for a hotel room
34:15the evening of the alumni event.
34:18Well,
34:18maybe it was just a heavy night.
34:20I called him to his file.
34:21He lives on campus with his family.
34:23Why would he need a hotel room?
34:25Unless he was hiding something.
34:26Exactly.
34:27I called the hotel
34:28and they don't have any CCTV that'll help.
34:30But they said the room was booked for two people.
34:33Freddie took the receipt
34:34but a second person
34:35requested a copy for it
34:36later that week
34:37by email.
34:38The mystery guest?
34:39Could be.
34:40They're going to check in with the council
34:41and let me know.
34:42Nice.
34:44It's mainly just some loose paneling
34:46in here.
34:49This
34:50is the main bit
34:51I want to fix.
34:53Yeah.
34:53Just here.
34:54You see?
34:55No, this isn't...
34:56Is there a problem?
34:58Yeah, this isn't good.
35:00Excuse me?
35:03Yeah.
35:06Yeah.
35:08Yeah, just what I expected.
35:09Damp.
35:11This house
35:11has been in my family
35:13for over a century.
35:14We've never had damp.
35:15Oh,
35:16hidden killer,
35:17Mrs. Potts.
35:18Expensive to fix,
35:19but essential.
35:20I'm telling you,
35:20there is no damp.
35:26Ah, see?
35:27Now,
35:28that sounds hollow.
35:29It sounds hollow
35:30because it is hollow.
35:33It's a cupboard.
35:36You didn't consider that.
35:39Um,
35:41I'm sorry,
35:42you have to excuse me.
35:43There are places I need to be.
35:45Well,
35:45I haven't finished measuring up yet.
35:46I could just do with that.
35:47Time for that another day.
35:48Are you sure?
35:49Oh,
35:50okay.
35:50All right.
36:01Here we go.
36:05Right.
36:06Same rules apply.
36:07Ladies set tights.
36:08Man rotate on the...
36:14Walking dogs.
36:16Top job.
36:19I'm more of a cat person.
36:24They're traveling.
36:26Oh.
36:30Glastow 2004 was definitely better.
36:33Yeah,
36:332011,
36:34at its moments.
36:352017,
36:36didn't think we'd even get tickets.
36:40Avocados.
36:41Oh,
36:42no,
36:42I'm sorry.
36:51Hello there.
36:52Well,
36:53well,
36:53well.
36:54I wasn't expecting this.
36:56I just came with,
36:57I was dragged by a mate.
36:59I was basically forced.
37:01Oh.
37:02As a wingman.
37:03It's just,
37:04it's been a supportive friend.
37:06Which friend?
37:08He's just getting a drink.
37:09Just over there.
37:10Where did he go?
37:10He's,
37:11oh right,
37:12yeah,
37:12yeah.
37:12Over there.
37:13Yeah.
37:15Is this your first time?
37:18Gets easier.
37:20Oh,
37:21um,
37:21that's the work phone.
37:23Is it rude?
37:24If I got that?
37:25Well,
37:26given we've got a murder to solve.
37:28Jessica.
37:29What?
37:31Freddie stayed at a hotel
37:32the night of the alumni event.
37:33Jason's just had confirmation
37:34that Jessica requested
37:36a copy of the hotel receipt.
37:37Oh.
37:38They were having an affair?
37:39Looks that way.
37:40Um,
37:40listen,
37:40I better get going.
37:43You coming?
37:44Abso-bloody-lutely.
37:46Come on,
37:46Luna.
37:47Come on,
37:47Come on,
37:47girl.
37:48Now that's what I call
37:49speed dating.
37:52All right,
37:53everybody,
37:53here we go again.
37:56Four.
37:59Five.
38:01Six.
38:06Three.
38:07Five.
38:10Six.
38:13Six.
38:23What are you doing here?
38:24I have a theory.
38:26Well,
38:26currently half a theory.
38:27No, I can't help you. If my involvement affected the conviction of Freddy's killer, I'd never forgive myself.
38:33To convict his killer, we have to catch them first. And for that, I need your help.
38:42So what exactly are we looking for?
38:44Anything that might be something. There are more windows on the outside of the house than on the inside.
38:50You think part of the house is hidden?
38:52Yes. And somewhere, there must be a way in.
38:56You say that as though it's the most natural thing in the world.
38:58Well, we used to hide priests. And the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco had an entire prohibition floor
39:05that was hidden in the plans.
39:12Bex? No one thinks you're lying. We trust you.
39:18It doesn't feel like that.
39:22Tanika thinks I've been deliberately holding back information. But it wasn't like that.
39:26And the group think I'm talking to the police about them.
39:31You've lost one friend. And it's possible another friend killed him.
39:35You're in an awful position. You don't have to explain yourself.
39:38I do. Trying to prove you're innocent is much harder than you'd think.
39:42The more you protest, the more you look guilty.
39:44There are scratches on the floorboards.
39:51Goodness.
39:54Bex.
40:05Look.
40:09This doesn't look like an escape tunnel.
40:11I'll stop.
40:21Seriously.
40:27I'll stop.
40:28Goodbye.
40:30Goodbye.
40:32Bye.
40:33Bye.
40:36Bye.
40:38Bye.
40:40Bye.
40:44it's still warm
40:48we're not alone
