00:26Ferdie Blake's a wild man
00:28But beneath that macho exterior
00:31All I can see is a total charmer
00:35I never got invited to anything when I was just a dog walker
00:39I guess this makes us Marlowe VIPs
00:42What even happens at a book launch?
00:44We'll find out soon enough
00:45For free?
00:47I'd have to take out a second mortgage to afford that place
00:49Well, the prices are a bit eye-watering
00:51But I do admire his plant-to-plate ethos
00:55Everything locally sourced wherever possible
00:57And I admire his rugged good looks
01:01Shouldn't Bex be here by now?
01:02I said we'd pick her up
01:03She needs rescuing from her monster-in-law
01:05Ah, yes
01:06The infamous Marion
01:10Oh, more convenience dinners, Rebecca
01:14You'll need a bigger freezer soon
01:16I hope you got lemons
01:21In my day, Colin was used to cordon bleu dinners
01:25Cooked by our au pair
01:26Who happened to be French
01:28Not always, darling
01:30We're both very busy
01:31So anytime you want to help
01:32Well, I'd love to
01:33But I'm still so fragile
01:35Since your father passed on
01:37He's not dead, mother
01:39He's been printing on sea with a new woman
01:44He's never been happier
01:46I need ice, Colin
01:49What have you got there?
01:51Punch it
01:52I asked for knives
01:53When I asked for knives
01:55I want knives!
01:56Yes, sorry, chef
01:59I managed to forage some ground elder and lesser knapweed
02:02But no meadow, sweet chef
02:03I don't like the word no, Amari
02:07Are you going to explain to our honoured guests
02:09That the garnish is ruined
02:11Because you just couldn't be bothered?
02:13No, chef
02:15How many times do I have to tell you all
02:17In the pursuit of perfection
02:20Precision is everything
02:22Say it!
02:23Precision is everything, chef
02:31Listen, I'll say this
02:32Because no one else will
02:35I hope you're going to be more charming to our guests
02:38Than you've been to the staff
02:40You're out of control, Ferdy
02:42No, you know me, Isla
02:43I can turn up when I need to
02:51Oh, whatever you're selling
02:52We don't want it
02:53We're here to pick up Bex
02:56Rebecca?
03:00Gotta go, church meeting
03:02What about dinner?
03:04Well, you could surprise Colin
03:05With one of your Cordon Bleu feasts
03:07For old times' sake
03:11Quick, before she comes after me
03:34Oh, Judith, you've got to try one
03:37It's Ferdy Blake's signature cocktail
03:39Oh, the devil's breath
03:41How delightfully botanical
03:42It's even got a flower in it
03:44It's in a stertium
03:45It looks more like a science experiment
03:46Than a drink
03:47I think I'll stick to the champagne
03:49Thanks
03:50Oh, I love her
04:01Everyone's ready, chef?
04:04Start the countdown
04:09Where's my blue spiel?
04:19Even DCI Greenlee is here
04:21I cannot tell you what a relief it is
04:24To get away from the vicarage
04:25Marion does seem rather
04:27Awful
04:27She was supposed to stay for a couple of days
04:29But it's been two weeks now
04:31Another one of these
04:32And you'll forget all about it
04:34I think it'll take more than that
04:36Susie, you've been doing life coaching lessons
04:39Any strategies that might help?
04:41Judith, I'm only halfway through the course
04:43But we did learn last week
04:45That it is better to identify solutions
04:48Rather than focus on the problems themselves
04:50I fear that Marion is a problem without a solution
04:53Oh, there's always a solution, Bex
04:54It'll come to you
04:57Oh, starting
05:00Excuse me
05:08Are you okay?
05:10I think I need to get out of here
05:11And here he is
05:12The man of the moment
05:13I'll be fine, you stay
05:13Mr. Fernie Blake
05:19What's going on?
05:20I have no idea
05:28Where is he?
05:34Where is he?
05:36Ferdy?
05:37Everyone's waiting
05:39What's happening?
05:47There you are
05:48Did you hear that scream?
05:50What's going on?
05:52Ferdy Blake's been murdered
06:03Nobody has been allowed into the area where the body was found
06:06Forensics?
06:07On their way
06:07Who found the body?
06:09Isla D'Souza
06:11Ferdy Blake's ex-wife and sous-chef
06:13The man with her is Damon Grady
06:16And he was running the event front of house
06:18So you're seen now, D.I. Malik
06:19Thank you, Mum
06:20Officers are waiting to take your statements
06:22Thank you for your cooperation
06:23If you want to go over there
06:24And you guys
06:25Over there
06:26Oh, here they come
06:28Inspectors at the feast
06:28Oh, I had no idea you were familiar with Shakespeare, Brendan
06:31Well, there's a lot you don't know about me, Mrs. Pops
06:33Like your secret dating life?
06:35Thanks
06:37Sorry
06:39Any news on that front?
06:40No
06:42I'm taking a break
06:43Yeah, all the women I've met have turned out to be complete nutjobs
06:48Present company accepted
06:49Oh, thank you
06:50I think
06:52Looks like I'm needed
06:58Can you explain exactly what happened, Mr. Sousa?
07:01We were all at our stations
07:03Ready to go
07:04Ferdy realised his blue steel knife was missing
07:07He stormed off to get it
07:09When he didn't come back
07:11I went to see what was going on
07:13That's when I found him
07:15On the floor
07:16The knife in his chest
07:18Was anyone with him?
07:20Cal Merson
07:21The kitchen porter was at the sink
07:22Headphones on
07:24He only turned round when I started screaming
07:28Where were you at the time, Mr. Grady?
07:31We were all waiting in the dining room for Ferdy's big entrance
07:34The clock counted down to zero, but it didn't appear
07:38Then I heard a scream
07:39I went back of house and saw Isla and Cal with Ferdy's body in the wash area
07:45And where is he now?
07:47He's in the staff room
07:49I think he's in shock
07:51I'll go and talk to him, go
07:52It's this way
07:58Forensics have arrived
08:01Damon Grady said they were all waiting for Ferdy in the dining room
08:05But he wasn't
08:06When I went outside
08:08He passed me on his way back in
08:10Why absent himself at such a critical moment?
08:14And why lie about it?
08:17According to the pathologist, the bleeding's mostly internal
08:21So no trail, no footprints, but there is a £50 note
08:25Cal Merson's completely shut down
08:27We're not going to get anything out of him tonight
08:28Damon Grady's off to take him home
08:30We'll need to follow up with both of them first thing
08:32Our main focus has to be on the staff
08:34If anyone else had been in this area, they'd have stuck out like a sore thumb
08:37Why kill him at such a public event?
08:39On the night that eased the censure of attention
08:42Maybe they got off on the thrill of being caught
08:44Or thought they had no choice
08:46Ferdy Blake had to die tonight
08:48And why the £50 note?
08:50Must be a message of some kind
08:51Well, whatever the meaning
08:52The public nature of the murder and the risk our killer took
08:54Shows how desperate they were
08:58So, I walked over here
09:00Then I saw Damon Grady go back inside
09:02And that's when you heard the scream?
09:04Yeah
09:04Sounded like it was coming from the back of the building
09:06So I walked round that side to see what was going on
09:09And that's where you found me
09:10I suggest we split up
09:12And take a closer look around this area
09:15For what?
09:18I'm not entirely sure
09:20You've collected all the guest details and sent them home
09:22The Kitchen Brigade all say they're at their stations at the time of the murder
09:26According to them, the only people whose whereabouts are counted for
09:28Are Damon Grady, Isla D'Souza and Cal Merson
09:32And there's the Kitchen Gardener, Amari Joseph
09:34But they said he left 20 minutes before the murder
10:07Clinica?
10:08Oh, look out
10:09Sherlock strikes again
10:11This is your last warning
10:12Justice will finally be served
10:31Hey, Judith
10:32Door's open
10:33I let Luna right into the garden
10:35No, that's fine
10:36Bex should be here soon
10:39Who's been sending you fancy letters?
10:40Oh, it's an old school friend
10:41Matthew Cartwright
10:42I haven't seen him in years
10:44He retired early to the south of France
10:46And it seems his wife died recently
10:48And he's spending the summer in Marlowe
10:50What's his game then?
10:51Matthew was always a quiet, unassuming man
10:55He must be lonely with his wife gone
10:58Uh-oh, what's Marion done now?
11:01Last night, she took the whole family out for a champagne dinner at Lugano's
11:04She's never even bought me a sandwich
11:06But don't let it get to you
11:08We'll find a solution
11:09In the meantime, we have to work out who killed Ferdy Blake
11:23I know it's hard to believe
11:25But I swear to God
11:26I didn't see or hear anything
11:28How is that possible?
11:30It happened right behind you
11:32Because when I'm at work, I wear noise-cancelling headphones
11:35Play really loud music to shut everything out
11:38But Isla's scream cut through it all
11:42Tell us about your relationship with Ferdy Blake
11:47Tell them the truth, Cal
11:49Got nothing to be ashamed of now
11:53He enjoyed humiliating people who worked for him
11:57Last night, he tore into Isla for messing up the sauce
12:00And then Omari for not getting the herbs that he wanted
12:04And then I overheard him threatening to fire Damon
12:07Why would anyone put up with it?
12:09Well, the Brigade all thought that he was a genius
12:13Working for him was good for their career
12:14But for me, well, it was the only job I could get
12:17Why is that, Mr Merson?
12:22I had some problems with addiction
12:26I lost my job
12:28The house, everything
12:31Thank God, Nicky managed to get me into rehab
12:35But after that, I couldn't even get a reference
12:40So when Ferdy offered to take me on
12:42I was so grateful
12:47Do you have any idea why we found a £50 note on his body?
12:51No
12:53No, he's a wealthy man
12:55The kind of money wouldn't have meant much to him
12:57And what about the threatening letter we found in his car?
13:00Do you know anything about that?
13:01No
13:01Ferdy was an abusive bully whose behaviour would make anyone want to kill him
13:07This sounds awful, but I'm glad he's dead
13:10No, Nicky, she don't mean that
13:11I mean every word of it
13:12He went out of his way to torment my husband
13:16Where were you when it happened, Mrs Merson?
13:18Here
13:19I called Cal just to check he was coping okay
13:21Something I always did before service
13:23It didn't pick up, so I left him a message
13:26It had all kicked off by then
13:27So I just sent her a text to let her know that I was okay
13:32Gov, Brendan and Jason are back at Gastronomy
13:34The preliminary search of the building is complete
13:36They want to know our ETA
13:38Okay
13:40We'll get that all checked out
13:41But if you remember anything else
13:43Call this number
13:46I was in no fit state to drive last night
13:48So my car's still at the restaurant
13:49I don't suppose you'll be able to give us a lift
13:54Sure
13:59Can I have anything?
14:01Just a few faggins and a takeaway box
14:03Tell you what, I'll be ordering in if I have to eat the nonsense they serve here
14:06Have you seen the menu?
14:08Sweet breads and nettle sauce
14:10Dandelion and mealworm ice cream
14:12Ice cream
14:13And the prices, talk about Emperor's new clothes
14:15You're so wrong, Brendan
14:16But Ferdy Blake was a genius
14:19Is this a wind-up?
14:20No
14:20I had a table booked next week
14:22I've been on the waiting list for months
14:23I'm absolutely gutted
14:25You had a lucky escape, mate
14:27You think trying a different brand of ketchup is being adventurous?
14:30I need to re-educate you
14:31Yeah
14:32Good luck with that, mate
14:36What have you got?
14:38Uh, old take-away box
14:40Sneap ring glove
14:41The usual fag ends and cans
14:43Probably just rubbish, but you never know
14:45Any progress here?
14:46Forensics say the only prints on the knife were Ferdy Blake's
14:48Oh
14:49Did you get any way with Cal Merson?
14:50Only that he overheard the victim threatened to fire Damon Grady
14:53Oh, well, Mr. Grady's supposed to be here giving us a witness statement
14:56He's already over an hour late
14:57And not picking up his phone
14:58Check out his home address
15:00Mr. Souza's in the office, Gov
15:02And she is refusing to leave
15:09Hello there
15:11Sorry to startle you
15:12We're civilian advisors
15:13Supporting the police investigation
15:15Is there anything we can help you with?
15:17No
15:18I'd lost my car keys
15:19I must have dropped them on my fog break or something
15:24Oh, I'm gonna have to
15:28That was a bit odd
15:30Very odd indeed
15:33Let's take a look
15:38I can't see anything
15:41Me neither
15:45But I can
15:47Those flowers on the ground
15:49And assertions from the cocktails last night
15:58There were no guests outside
16:01So how did they end up here?
16:06You can't continue to work here, Mr. Souza
16:08But there's so much to do
16:10And as you can see, Ferdy was a chaotic mess
16:13We're very sorry for your loss, but this is still an active crime scene
16:15I don't need your condolences, D.I. Malik
16:18I lost Ferdy long before the divorce
16:20And as you've no doubt gathered
16:22He was an extremely difficult man
16:25But you carried on working together
16:27Half the business is mine
16:29Ferdy was desperate to buy me out
16:31But I wouldn't give him the satisfaction
16:33Not after everything he put me through
16:35So relations between you were strained?
16:39Well, that's a polite way of putting it
16:43Ferdy could never love anyone but himself
16:47If I can't be useful here, I suppose I'd better go home
16:50A threatening letter was found in Mr. Blake's car
16:52Do you know anything about that?
16:54No
16:55Ferdy didn't confide in me about anything
16:58Is there a safe in here?
16:59Oh, in that cupboard, but it's just work stuff
17:01Well, we'll need the keys to it
17:03They're just there
17:10She seems remarkably unaffected by her ex-husband's death
17:12Yeah, didn't she?
17:18This would be the perfect escape route for our killer
17:22Someone's coming
17:29I know
17:31But the police are still here sticking their noses into everything
17:34Best if I come to you
17:35Usual place?
17:36Five minutes
17:42What does Isla D'Souza need to handle?
17:45And who's she planning to meet?
17:47We're not going to find out by standing around here, are we?
17:52What have you got so far?
17:54Just restaurant contracts
17:56Deeds for this place
18:01Gov?
18:02Look at this
18:05More threads
18:06Looks like the same handwriting as the note Judith found
18:09Get them to forensics
18:30Lucy
18:35That's Amari
18:37The kitchen gardener
18:39I recognise him from the star photograph
18:42His bio says he runs a foraging course in the woods
18:47They work together
18:49So why the secret assignation?
18:53Maybe Amari killed Ferdy as some sort of favour to Isla
18:56And now they're having some sort of debrief?
18:58Do you think you'd do the same for me?
19:00Turns out Marion didn't pay for dinner
19:02Colin and I did
19:03She's convinced Colin she'll pay us back
19:05But she never does
19:06You've got to help me, Susie
19:08I did this lecture in week two
19:09About removing toxic people from your life
19:12You need to focus on setting clear boundaries
19:15Prioritise your well-being
19:16Then gradually reduce contact
19:18How can I do that?
19:20She's living in my house
19:21Yeah, I see your point
19:23Luna, are you alright girl?
19:25Luna
19:26Luna, come back here now
19:28Luna
19:36Don't understand it
19:38Luna is not a bolter
19:39And she's got brilliant recall
19:41Oh
19:43Sounds like she's this way somewhere
19:46Come on
19:47What about that sign?
19:49What sign?
19:54She's closer, definitely
19:56It's okay girl
19:57We're coming
20:03It's alright Luna
20:04I'm coming girl
20:05Oi, stop
20:07For your sake
20:10Oh no
20:11I am so, so sorry
20:13We'll pay for any damage
20:14There's no point
20:16It's too late in the season
20:18Luna, good girl
20:19Get out, go on
20:21She's not normally like this
20:23Have you got any food stored in here
20:25Or in the woods?
20:26Cheese maybe
20:27Luna loves cheese
20:29No, nothing like that
20:30I'm so sorry we've caused you
20:32Even more upset
20:34After last night's terrible events
20:37We were guests at the book launch
20:40Must have been a dreadful shock
20:44I still can't believe it
20:46You must have worked very closely together
20:50We did
20:51The relationship between chef and kitchen gardener
20:53Was at the heart of gastronomy's menu
20:55But from what I hear
20:57Mr. Blake could also be quite difficult at times
21:01Great chefs like him are always perfectionists
21:03Volatile in the heat of service
21:07But I rarely saw that side of him
21:09So rumours about him being a bit of a monster aren't true?
21:12It was always good to me
21:14How are the rest of the staff taking it?
21:17I don't know, I haven't seen anyone since it happened
21:20Please, let me help you with this
21:22Oh, thank you
21:23I'd rather be alone
21:25I'm so sorry
21:27No
21:28We'll go
21:32Sounds like Ferdy Blake was charismatic
21:35But a nightmare to work with
21:37A man with more enemies than friends
21:39We heard that last night he had altercations with Isla D'Souza, Cal Merson, Amari Joseph and Damon Grady
21:47Any news on the elusive, Mr. Grady?
21:49Well, we went to his house, but no joy
21:51So I've bought his phone records to see if we can track him down
21:54What do we have on him?
21:55Background checks show he's an ex-offender on a return-to-work placement scheme
21:58He's got form for a burglary in Ford, but nothing with violence
22:01But from what we've heard, Ferdy Blake's behaviour could make anyone turn into a cold-blooded killer
22:06Mickey Merson would agree
22:07She called Ferdy an abusive bully, seemed happy he was dead
22:10Her claim that she spoke to Cal Merson at gastronomy checks out
22:14Her call came from their home phone, nine minutes after Ferdy Blake's murder
22:18The Mersons live 30 minutes' drive away
22:20She couldn't have been there
22:21What have we got on Isla D'Souza?
22:23There is an interesting clause in their divorce settlement
22:26If one of them dies, the business automatically reverts to the other party
22:31So Ferdy's demise was very much to her advantage
22:33After she left you, we overheard her arranging to meet someone
22:37It all seemed a bit underhand, so we followed her into the woods
22:41She told us she was going home
22:43Who did she meet?
22:44Amari Joseph
22:44Could you hear anything?
22:46No, but we managed to speak to him in the kitchen garden
22:49He seemed positive about his relationship with Ferdy
22:52But based on what everyone else says, that seems unlikely
22:55He also claimed he hadn't seen anyone from gastronomy since the murder
22:58Which we know was a lie
23:01We need to focus on the message behind the £50 note
23:04It proves the murder was premeditated
23:07I think you should all see this
23:08It's just gone live on the tabloid website
23:13You know how much I love this man, don't you?
23:16Yes, Chef
23:17I know, I've asked you very nicely to take extra special care of it
23:20Yes, Chef
23:21Then why haven't you?
23:22Look at this
23:23Sorry, Chef, my mistake won't happen again
23:25Yeah?
23:31Do them again, just to make sure
23:33We need to work out where that video came from
23:35And why Amari Joseph is lying about meeting Isla D'Souza
23:39I reckon it's time we paid both of them a visit
23:44I've just had the tabloids' editor on the phone
23:46He claims we're putting undue pressure on them to reveal their sources
23:49We really need that information
23:51Well, we can keep trying, but the press always dig their heels in
23:53Which reminds me, remember to get your profile booked in
23:57Mum
24:01Are you alright, Tanika?
24:03The Bucks Chronicle are trying to arrange a time for an interview
24:06They want me to talk about my life away from work
24:08Why would anyone be interested?
24:10Because you're a successful, multitasking woman
24:13Who's so much more than her job title
24:15Susie's started a life coaching course
24:17Seems she's got quite a flair for it
24:19I ain't been doing it for that long
24:21I mean, I've still got a lot to learn
24:23I need all the help we can get
24:24Oh, go on, give it a go
24:27Well, if you're up for it, I could try
24:28Yeah, sounds good
24:29I better go, Alice is waiting
24:34I suppose that leaves us with Damon
24:37If he's an ex-offender
24:39He might be avoiding the police out of fear or lack of trust
24:42Or because he's guilty as hell
24:44Well, either way, maybe we'll have more luck talking to him
24:47Who was the last person to see him?
24:49Oh, Cal Merson
24:50Damon gave him a lift home last night
24:52So they must be good friends if Damon's the person Cal turned to in his hour of need
24:56Yes
24:57Shall we?
25:07Mr. Joseph
25:09D.S. Perry
25:11How can I help?
25:12We've been asked to search the gastronomy estate
25:18I've already told you everything I know
25:20Not quite
25:21A clause in your divorce agreement has come to our attention
25:24And I quote
25:25Ownership of the business automatically reverts to the other partner upon death
25:29This gives you motive
25:31Why don't you tell us?
25:33Because it's none of your business
25:34You already stated that relations between you and the victim are strained
25:37And now it's clear you had a lot to gain from his death
25:39As he would from mine
25:43But I didn't kill him
25:46Let's talk about your relationship with Amari Joseph
25:48What relationship?
25:50He's just an employee
25:52When's the last time you spoke to him?
25:53This morning
25:54After I seen you
25:55You told us you were going home
25:57I changed my mind
25:59I knew he'd be worried about his future
26:02I went to tell him his job was safe
26:03That when we're able to reopen
26:05He would still be a part of it
26:08I've spent years building the gastronomy brand
26:11I refuse to let it die along with Verdi
26:22Good morning Mr Merson
26:24Just thought we'd follow up and see how you're doing
26:26Must have been pretty traumatic
26:29Being there when it happened
26:30And not seen anything
26:33Was yeah
26:34I was hoping he might take my mind off it
26:35Going through all this old stuff
26:38Need to make a fresh start
26:40There was one thing you might be able to help us with
26:42The police are looking for Damon Grady
26:44We believe he dropped you home last night
26:47There's no way he's involved
26:49Damon wouldn't hurt anyone
26:50I'm sure you're right
26:50But we know he's been in trouble before
26:53And he has questions to answer
26:56If he keeps hiding from the police
26:58Then he might breach the conditions of his release
27:01If Damon needs to clear his head
27:03He goes fishing on the river
27:05Down near Hamptons Marina
27:06Thank you
27:19I'm pretty sure that's him
27:22It's going to take ages to walk all the way round to him
27:34Are you sure you don't need some sort of qualification to take this out?
27:38Not any idiot can hire one
27:40It's the equivalent of a bumper car on water
27:42Just go easy on the bumps, Bex
27:43I'm being a bit queasy
27:47Mr Grady
27:49What are you lot doing over here?
27:51The police are trying to contact you
27:54Bex
27:55Just give me a second
27:56You agreed to meet them at the restaurant this morning?
27:58Yeah, well
27:59I had stuff to do, didn't I?
28:02Oh
28:04Looks like it
28:05Come on, mate
28:06What's going on?
28:08What are you doing?
28:09I'm trying my best
28:09Take it gently, Bex
28:12Hold on
28:12You do know
28:14That if you push the lever up
28:15You'll put it in neutral?
28:19Look
28:20Whatever I say
28:21The police won't believe me
28:23So what's the point?
28:24Why should they believe you?
28:25You've already lied to them
28:26You said you were front of house when Ferdy Blake was murdered
28:29But I saw you walk back in
28:31Just after it happened
28:32Well, I needed some air
28:34Doesn't mean I topped him, does it?
28:36You must have felt like it sometimes
28:37No, never
28:38So his rants never got to you?
28:40They got to everyone else?
28:42I've dealt with far worse than Ferdy inside
28:44It was water for duck's back
28:45We heard he threatened to fire you last night
28:47What was that about?
28:49It was just Ferdy being Ferdy
28:50Five minutes later, he'd be fine
28:52But five minutes later, he was dead
28:56I'm sorry
28:56I can't help you
28:58You need to talk to the police, Damon
29:00You have my word they'll give you a fair hearing
29:03Just leave it
29:08Go
29:16Almost done, Mr. Joseph
29:18If there's anything I can help you with, let me know
29:20Well, we need you to account for your movements from yesterday evening
29:24I delivered some produce to the kitchen and then came back here, that's it
29:28And you haven't seen anyone from gastronomy since the murder?
29:31No, no one
29:33You sure about that?
29:35Because we have some witnesses that saw you earlier today
29:39With Isla D'Souza
29:42Oh yes, I forgot
29:43I just bumped into her
29:46In the middle of the woods
29:49Ferdy Blake was receiving a series of threatening notes
29:52And earlier today, someone uploaded a video online
29:55It wasn't very flattering, to say the least
29:58We reckon the person behind it worked for gastronomy
30:01Any idea who that might be?
30:05Sorry, I can't help
30:06I keep myself to myself
30:09My number
30:11In case there's anything else you've forgotten
30:18Alice
30:20Look at this
30:21Turns out Amari changed his surname from Laurent to Joseph
30:25Just before he started work at gastronomy
30:26Why would he do that?
30:39Why would he do that?
30:41Any news about your old boyfriend?
30:43Matthew was never a boyfriend
30:45It was Matthew?
30:46Some rich bloke from the south of France
30:47Who's coming all the way to Marlowe to see Judith
30:49Even though she's already got the professor on the go
30:52I do not have anyone on the go
30:53And we're not here to discuss the complications of my private life
30:56We're here to talk about the case
30:58I like talking about your complications
31:01No millionaires ever turn up on my doorstep
31:05Oh, it's from Brendan
31:06Damon is at the station now
31:08It seems our thanks-eyed intervention got through to him
31:12So these are our key suspects
31:16Damon's been hiding from the police
31:18Ila's been in secret conversations with Amari
31:21And the video demonstrates the extreme bullying Cal had to endure
31:26So they all had a motive
31:27And they all had opportunity
31:29I think it's time for some thinking outside the box
31:37Yep
31:38Well, what did Mr. Grady have to say for himself?
31:41Well, he apologised for giving us the run around
31:43Claimed that he freaked out because of his past record
31:45Thought we'd assume he'd done it
31:47And he point-blank denied any involvement in the murder of Ferdy Blake or the videos
31:51Do you believe him?
31:52Without any evidence, we have no choice for now
31:55I did some digging into Amari Joseph
31:57Formerly known as Amari La Ronde
31:59Jackson La Ronde worked with Ferdy Blake at his first restaurant, Synthesis
32:03Turns out, he's Amari's dad
32:05Is he now?
32:06What do we know about him?
32:07Only that he left under a cloud
32:08But that's got to be more than a coincidence, surely
32:11Great work, Jason, keep digging
32:12What about the threatening letters, Alice?
32:14We got the report back from the forensic document examiner
32:17There were no fingerprints
32:18But they did find a hair
32:26Why did you tell those women where I was?
32:29You not talking to police was making things worse
32:31But you can end up back inside
32:32Look, from now on, we keep our heads down and our mouths shut
32:35Got it?
32:36Are you coming along?
32:51Are you sure we really have time for this, Judith?
32:54Croquet requires extreme concentration
32:57Which allows the creative part of the brain to roam free
33:00At the end of the day, it's just hitting a ball through a hoop
33:05Oh, it's far more than that, Susie
33:07Croquet is about outsmarting your opponent at every turn
33:12It's a strategy we employ every time we solve a case
33:16But when everyone has means, motive and opportunity
33:22How do we get to the truth?
33:24Luna definitely picked up a scent in Amari's garden
33:26But if it wasn't cheese, what was it?
33:31The croquet is doing its job
33:33You're thinking outside the box
33:34Before Iqbal had her
33:36Luna was selected for training as an airport sniffer dog
33:39But she couldn't handle the engine noise
33:42We found her in the kitchen garden
33:43But the scent that she originally followed was in the woods
33:48It's from Tanika
33:50A hair found on the threatening notes has been identified as a
33:54Bore bristle
33:59Luna was trying to tell us something
34:01Yeah, but what?
34:03I don't get it
34:05But the answer to this puzzle lies somewhere in those woods
34:10Right
34:16Bye, Wyn
34:17I'll see you tomorrow morning
34:19Not for a rematch, please
34:20Wear outdoor clothes and bring Luna
34:22We're going
34:24Foraging
34:37Judith, darling
34:39How wonderful to see you again after all this time
34:42Matthew, is it you?
34:43Well, I have changed somewhat since we last met
34:46For the better, I hope
34:47You did get my note
34:48I did
34:49But I had no idea your visit was imminent
34:52I'm a man of impulse, Judith
34:54When I want something, I go for it
34:57Hence the remarkable success of my business ventures
35:01The thing is, Matthew, I was just about to leave
35:05Well, can't you get out of it?
35:07I want to see as much of you as I possibly can
35:10Starting now
35:16Go
35:17Ferdie Blake's bank records flag up something interesting
35:20Regular withdrawals of large amounts of cash over the past six months
35:24Increasing in size
35:25Think it connects with the money pinned to his body?
35:27Could do
35:27And no one uses cash anymore unless it's for something dodgy
35:30Speak to the staff, his suppliers
35:32Did anyone see Ferdie Blake flashing the cash?
35:34Someone must know what the money was for
35:37Can you believe it's over 40 years
35:39Since our halcyon school days?
35:42You with your long flaming red hair
35:46You're always such a beauty
35:47Not so long or flaming now, but thank you
35:51I thought I heard voices
35:52Darius, you're back
35:53Yes, finally
35:54I thought I'd call in to tell you all about the Welsh dig
35:58Right, but your timing is a little off, I'm afraid
36:00Judith and I were just enjoying an intimate tête-à -tête after many years apart
36:06I'm sure you understand
36:10Yes, of course
36:12I'll leave you to it
36:12No, do stay
36:13You've come all this way
36:14No, honestly, it's fine
36:16My chat can wait
36:18Please
36:20I'll call you
36:22Now
36:23Where were we?
36:24Well, perhaps we should speak over lunch
36:27As I've said, there's somewhere I need to be
36:29All right, well, what about dinner tomorrow night, then?
36:33We can celebrate our reunion with champagne
36:37Fine
36:43It's so kind of you
36:44To arrange this at such short notice
36:46And don't worry
36:48No dog this time
36:50Good
36:51Follow me
36:58Foraging is the act of searching for
37:00And collecting wild edible plants
37:02Fungi and other resources
37:03From the natural environment
37:05This way
37:06This is near to where Luna bolted the last time
37:09Time to activate for his one
37:11Watch at that
37:13Oh, I'm so sorry
37:15I need to call my daughter
37:16I'll catch you out
37:19Follow me
37:21Hi, Zeta
37:23What's the problem?
37:25Oh, not again
37:32This is pineapple weed
37:34Also known as wild chamomile
37:36It can be infused to make tea
37:38But the fresh flower heads
37:40Can also be eaten raw
37:47The heads look like tiny pineapples
37:51Hence the name
37:55You don't think I do?
37:57Yes
37:57Text to Nico
37:59There you go
37:59They smell like pineapple too
38:01Oh
38:04I thought you said the dog wasn't here
38:05I don't know what's happened
38:06I'm so sorry, Mr. Joseph
38:08This has to stop
38:11Go on, girl
38:18It's from Bex
38:20Looks like our ball bristle
38:21Could have come from the brush
38:22On Amari Joseph's foraging knife
38:23Makes sense, girl
38:26Forensics just ID'd the ink
38:27Used in a note
38:28It's UV and water-resistant
38:30Typically used in garden marker pens
38:32They're with them now
38:33In the middle of the woods somewhere
38:34We need to get to them
38:39Where is it, Luna?
38:41What have you found?
38:42What?
39:21Where is it, Luna?
39:21Where is it, Luna?
39:21What have you got?
39:48You put that down
39:55Police!
39:56Police!
40:03You okay, Susie?
40:09Are you sure you're all right, Susie?
40:11Yeah
40:12We are now
40:13Won't we go?
40:15Impressive work
40:15A little too risky for my liking
40:17But we got a result
40:18Detective Luna was the real hero of the hour
40:20Thank you, Luna
40:24Dear Malik
40:27We're on our way
40:29We need to get back to the restaurant
40:31Now
40:31We'll be right back to the restaurant
40:35Yeah
40:54We'll be right back to the restaurant
