02:46shall we I haven't hurt anyone sit down even if you're telling the truth this is all still highly

02:59privately rented accommodation mr. Bly meet D.I. Malik Tanika our ghost has been
03:05found oh look this camera's on Ulrich the bear this on the armor the French
03:12cabinet was a wedding present and that painting's an original I can't believe
03:17you've been sat up here the whole time watching us a few months ago some
03:21drunken lout smashed my medal cabinet I thought I'm not having it mr. Blyke
03:25you're aware there's a murder investigation going on inside your house
03:29that you're now a viable suspect for I didn't even know the chap look if I was
03:33going to murder a guest which I wouldn't I've had a lot worse groups than
03:38this one we're gonna need the files from last night please download them
03:42but I'll still need you to come to the station answer some questions I must
03:48say this complete affront and I shall be sending you a bill for that attic door
03:52you both busted trust you lot to be so heavy-handed if the door hadn't
03:55mysteriously locked itself mr. Bly we wouldn't have had to break it what would
03:59you rent your household if you don't want guests this place has been in my
04:02family for 300 years you think I want to be the one who has to sell it this
04:08should have all the footage from yesterday until a few minutes ago thank
04:11you Hector a quick question for you ah questions questions have you by any
04:17chance seen a copy of this book in the last day never seen that book before in
04:21my life how long will this take you want me to sit in the back like a criminal well
04:26it'll be a bit cozy if you joined us at the front wouldn't mind your head
04:45I've already told DC Hackett my lawyer won't be able to get here until the morning we're more
04:56I call you Jess no right well I was just gonna say that you know it could get messy mixing
05:03personal
05:04with professional especially since you had an affair with the victim how on earth did
05:10you jump to that conclusion you requested a receipt for a hotel room booked under
05:14Freddie's name on the night of the reunion and you told us that you didn't see him
05:17that evening I wasn't having an affair with Freddie so how do you explain the
05:24receipt it's complicated I'm not denying I asked for it oh it's awkward in it I mean
05:34sometimes people do stuff they don't want to be seen by anyone or caught and that's it in it
05:42you might have been having an affair with Freddie but you knew that he was having an
05:47affair and why would you ask for the receipt unless it was useful to you for another reason
05:57things have been rough at work there was a partner position opening up it's competitive so I had to
06:05bring something big to the table what does that have to do with Freddie his wife's company developed
06:10a hybrid solar generator system say what now it's amazing for the environment and it would have
06:16bought in a ton of money I saw him with that woman at the hotel by accident and it was
06:21like it just
06:22fell into my lap I'm hardly proud of blackmailing your friend I'm assuming that's what you did
06:29after a little push Freddie agreed to help but the contracts weren't signed yet I mean why would I do
06:35him
06:35any harm before the deal was done you stalled us by a day you're not students anymore I need you
06:41all to grow
06:41up and start cooperating that means you as well look there is something else you should know the
06:53woman the one Freddie was having an affair with her name's Sasha Hill Hill as in Ryan's ex-wife good
07:01lord and that's all right now promise
07:10a moment Judith how can I help don't think it went unnoticed that you and Bex found that room together
07:16solid teamwork that when Bex specifically wasn't supposed to be investigating it was entirely my
07:21fault I assure you I coerced her Bex has already been seen to withhold information if the CPS heard
07:29about her involvement it could jeopardize a conviction down the line and mean no more
07:32investigating for you at all ever I know you don't want that it would never come to that
07:39I promise but it so easily could if you carry on as you have been you have to take this
07:45seriously
07:45I will we will go I managed to track down Sasha Hill she's in Singapore for work been there the
07:52last
07:52week right well let's see what Ryan has to say I think we'll take this one oh please you go
08:00ahead
08:03I told us didn't it us I wasn't even involved oh I'm guilty by association now where's your van
08:11and why's Luna here ta you will not believe we're bumped into a speed date have you got news we
08:25actually have more questions did Freddie ever talk to you about his marriage about him and Marie not
08:33really why did he seem happy yeah I mean he wouldn't shut up about the new job but he talked
08:41about
08:41Marie their daughter Ellie too they were taking her to Disneyland in the summer I can't get my head
08:52around it why are you asking about Marie well new evidence suggests that Freddie was having an
08:58affair in a months before his death did you know anything about that no I thought Freddie was
09:05happy he adored Marie are you sure Ryan the woman he was having an affair with was Sasha Hill Sasha
09:15and
09:17Freddie your friend was having an affair with your ex-wife and you knew nothing about it
09:25you think I knew and what killed him for it Sasha and I married at 23 but we were divorced
09:33by 27 I
09:35haven't even spoken to her in about a decade it all got a bit messy when she came for a
09:39piece of my
09:40foundation we heard you and Freddie were rivals well yeah we competed over everything at uni including
09:46girlfriends I guess that was all a very long time ago and you don't think Freddie was trying to
09:52provoke a reaction I think you know enough about Freddie by now to know that if he wanted a reaction
09:58he'd have been pretty vocal about him and Sasha tell me I'm wrong I believe them I don't think you
10:11knew about the affair mm-hmm I'm inclined to agree every lady that's all a bloody deadhead with this lot
10:17and it's lying and cheating it's exhausting let's hope Hector Bly's camera footage shed some light
10:42I can't believe it I knew I heard footsteps upstairs but the idea that he was there the whole time
10:47there's some croissants here if you want one
10:57okay Jess we should talk
11:01Una wasn't trying to throw you under the bus plus I'm the one who passed that information on
11:06I'm going this afternoon I know it make me look guilty but I already do thanks to you both pot
11:14kettle
11:15black I was telling the truth everyone seems really keen on that I'm not upset you told the police
11:22someone murdered Freddie of course you should tell the police but you didn't tell me well I didn't
11:28think you cared it's the principal do you know how stupid I feel knowing that you and Freddie have this
11:33little secret behind my back I'd say we're all feeling a little betrayed here get in line your
11:39ego is the least of our worries can we just talk this out how did you skate under the police
11:46radar
11:46what one quick chat and they're not interested in you and eavesdropping on conversations that don't
11:51concern you you seem really interested in what's happening to us it's not Una's fault don't defend her
11:57I know you were listening to you're not as perfect as you think you are I don't think I'm perfect
12:01I'm done
12:02I'm going I'm going I'm gonna call home
12:19and we think we can pinpoint the moment of Freddie's death look here Una is in the frame at 21
12:2721 and 34
12:28seconds that's where she hears Freddie shout it also means Una's alibi checks out so that's a good
12:34start well this is even better there's a camera in the entrance hall pointing at the bear Bex passes
12:39it seconds before the shout and immediately afterwards her and Jessica enter frame and head
12:46towards the stairs so that leaves Ryan and Oscar anything look at this camera wait for it
12:5621 21 and 34 seconds so Oscar you might stop enjoying this so much now 21 21 and 34 that's
13:07all of them yep yep they
13:09were all on camera at the time of death or immediately afterwards what about Hector blind well there's a
13:15camera blind spot around his secret room but we did a sweep of his computer to check his alibi and
13:20he was
13:20playing internet chess at the time it's called blitz chess it's super fast every move is recorded on
13:26the server we didn't have time to leave his desk during the match then he killed Freddie
13:33I don't understand we've already been over this you know where we were and what happened and you said
13:38brown cameras we can't be one of us our problem lies in the fact that two of you saw another
13:42person
13:43outside the library but if the evidence suggests there wasn't then surely that's the most likely option
13:47it was dark I don't think they know what they saw we didn't just imagine someone he's right there was
13:52definitely someone there but I don't get it you find a secret room with someone hiding back there
13:59watching us and you're questioning us surely he was outside the library Mr. Bly has an alibi covering
14:04that period of time so do we now she speaks just because I'm not getting angry doesn't mean I don't
14:09want to get out of here as much as you do no you're loving the gossip too much you're not
14:12being helpful
14:13Oi enough in case you've forgotten you're all part of a murder investigation we are trying to get to
14:22the truth we've told you everything we know I just want to go home I'm already packed we're trying to
14:29get to the bottom of this as quickly as we possibly can and for that to happen we really need
14:34you to
14:34stay here you were due to check out in two hours anyway stay until then and then leave as planned
14:40whatever you need I can do two hours okay fine
14:48who's that this is Hector Bly you've got a nerve coming back here this is my house
14:54where else would I go don't mind me
15:00oh come in it's open
15:04oh Mrs. Potts I've got my quote I thought I'd hand deliver it a little example of the personal
15:11service you can expect how polite
15:21oh now that's impressive yeah I've always been good at word searches me
15:26but those cryptic crosswords clues in that never made any sense
15:29oh it's just a matter of practice and patience
15:35some of it's as simple as words with multiple meanings for example you might write shark
15:40now you could mean the titular star of the film jaws
15:43or you could mean someone who purposefully exploits and swindles people
15:48I've not seen the film
15:50then there are hidden words
15:52well how do you hide words
15:53well you hide smaller words in larger words or phrases
16:07you know
16:08thank you so much
16:10for your quote
16:11but I'm afraid I have to go
16:13if I could just have a minute
16:14you know there's somewhere I need to be really quite urgently
16:16if you could just
16:17again
16:18you've been extremely helpful
16:20but I'm afraid I won't require your services
16:23but I will leave you an excellent review
16:26right yeah sure
16:28what's the problem
16:29we aren't going to be able to stall them any longer
16:31and we don't have the evidence to detain them
16:33once they scatter back across the country
16:35it's going to make everything harder
16:38I need you to double check everything we've got so far
16:41and any time someone from that house appears on one of Hector's cameras
16:44I want it logged
16:46as far as I'm concerned
16:47any of them could still be responsible
16:49we're missing something
16:57Max
17:00Max
17:01she's got this up there
17:03kitchen
17:15what are you doing
17:17looking for you
17:18quietly
17:19you're going to get me in trouble with Tanika
17:21again
17:30what's going on
17:33we need to ask Hector a question
17:35and we thought it might be best coming from you
17:38he was hardly my biggest fan
17:40but you're so good with people
17:41even Mrs. Eddingham's obsessed with you
17:44you're so personable and lovely
17:46yeah exactly
17:47but he's
17:49Bex
17:49if you help us with this
17:52we'll tell you all about Susie's date with Brendan
17:57Susie's what?
17:58with who?
17:59come on
18:00walk this way
18:13keep off the grass
18:15sorry
18:16sorry
18:19you here to accuse me of murder again?
18:21no
18:22it's just
18:22you have a really beautiful home
18:24I didn't have a chance to say before
18:32anything else?
18:33I had a small question
18:35yep
18:37your beautiful library
18:39I was walking around there earlier and thought
18:41you know what I fancy?
18:43reading something a bit gothic
18:44I don't suppose you have a copy of Dracula
18:47do you?
18:48do you think my house is like Dracula's castle?
18:51not at all
18:52I just loved that story and thought I'd pass the time
18:55better than burying my head in my phone
18:57people are too reliant on technology these days
18:59I don't trust it
19:01it's in the library
19:02far left shelf
19:03high up
19:04there's an entire gothic section
19:06thank you
19:07the grass
19:08we passed the grass
19:12Susie
19:13so you just talked about the case
19:15no sparks
19:16there wasn't time for anything else
19:18you know
19:19you really sold this as a more exciting story
19:21well it got you to talk to Hector didn't it
19:24and that got us here
19:26oh
19:27wait wait wait
19:30here we go
19:30now hang on
19:34Dracula
19:36how is that possible?
19:38did he have two copies?
19:39not exactly
19:40Freddie needed a book
19:42that was bigger than Ryan's
19:43and a title he could easily remember
19:45for a man who did his PhD in gothic literature
19:49Dracula would have been an obvious choice
19:52he ripped out the pages
19:54and used it to hide Ryan's book
19:57so why would he do that?
19:58because I think this book is important
20:00and he needed to keep it safe
20:05another nice message from Ryan
20:07exactly like the others
20:08there's got to be something
20:10wait wait
20:11there's something tucked inside
20:15what is it?
20:18it says York University
20:21it's the front cover of a dissertation
20:23oh
20:24this is the essay that got Oscar thrown out of uni
20:27so why would Freddie have this?
20:29he was working back at York
20:30maybe he found it
20:31but shoving this in Oscar's face
20:35that could have pushed him over the edge
20:37we need to go and talk to him
20:43we found Freddie's copy of Ryan's book
20:45oh
20:47that's good
20:48this was inside
20:49it had been hidden quite strategically
20:55what are you insinuating?
20:56Freddie brought it back
20:57to taunt you about your failure
20:59that's why you killed him
21:01isn't it?
21:10what are you talking about?
21:11I didn't kill Freddie
21:13you didn't mind Freddie's outburst
21:14about the muddy trousers
21:15but having him mock you
21:17about the worst moment in your life
21:20nah
21:20it was all too much
21:21wasn't it?
21:22you killed him
21:23and went to great lengths
21:24to hide the evidence
21:25no no
21:26that's not what happened
21:27it doesn't look good
21:28does it?
21:28it's evidence that links you
21:30directly to the murder victim
21:31and it gives you a motive
21:34Oscar
21:35please
21:35just tell us the truth
21:36this is the first time
21:38I've seen it
21:38honestly
21:39even if Freddie was going to show me
21:40he didn't have a chance
21:41before he died
21:42why would he bother hiding it
21:43if he didn't know you had it?
21:44I'm telling you
21:44I don't know
21:46I'm not going to get blamed
21:47for something I didn't do again
21:48not when everyone else is
21:49bolting around behaving terribly
21:52Jessica blackmailing Freddie
21:54Ryan playing the nice guy
21:55pretending he doesn't care
21:56that Freddie's sleeping with Sasha
21:57those gifts
21:59they didn't even write the dedication
22:01I did
22:01big shot didn't have time apparently
22:04and Una pestering us all to calm Aaron
22:05and throwing around the blame
22:07behind everyone's back
22:09I don't even know these people anymore
22:12what happened
22:13to get you expelled from university?
22:15they found evidence of plagiarism
22:17in the essay and matched the signature
22:18on this cover sheet
22:19to the one on my passport
22:21and in their minds
22:22I was instantly guilty
22:23did you find it?
22:24I tried
22:25but when I went to find
22:26the original essay on my laptop
22:27the entire folder was gone
22:28I don't know if someone deleted it
22:30or if it was just a computer error
22:32but
22:32there was no trace at all
22:35no proof it ever existed
22:36well that's convenient
22:38I swear I'd never seen
22:39the plagiarized version before
22:42you must believe me surely
22:46I don't want this
22:53it's all happening again isn't it
22:56no one believed me then
22:57and now
22:58no one would believe
22:58I didn't
23:00kill Freddy
23:17what's up
23:20something's not right
23:22I know that look
23:24it doesn't make sense
23:26we're assuming
23:27Freddy hid a single piece of paper
23:29yes
23:31so why did he go to such lengths
23:32to hide it
23:33he could have slipped this bit of paper
23:35into any book on that shelf
23:36and it would have taken us days
23:38maybe even weeks to find it
23:40but he hid it
23:42alongside this book
23:46go on
23:48well
23:50it suggests
23:51they're only incriminating
23:53if they're together
23:56a clue
23:57hidden within a clue
24:00here
24:00hold this open for a moment
24:08look at the back
24:11the handwriting doesn't match
24:13if what Oscar said was true
24:16then the writing in the book is his
24:18so why doesn't it match the handwriting
24:20on the back of the cover sheet
24:23I think someone
24:25forged
24:26this cover sheet
24:27to make it look like
24:28Oscar had written
24:29the plagiarised essay
24:32but who
24:35what if
24:36Freddy did it
24:38Oscar found out
24:39and wanted revenge
24:41maybe
24:42but we need to work out
24:44whose handwriting this is
24:47how are we going to get
24:48handwriting samples
24:49from a group of people
24:49were already on high alert
24:51well if it's one of our suspects
24:54this
24:54could point us towards the killer
24:58but is it enough to implicate them
25:16travel suite
25:17cheers
25:19how can I help Mrs Potts
25:20well I know you're busy
25:21logging Hector's footage
25:22but I wondered if you could
25:24kindly take me through some of it
25:25sure thing
25:26but all our suspects are accounted for
25:28yeah
25:28except
25:30this person
25:32and
25:33if it wasn't Hector
25:36who was it
25:36well that's exactly what we're here to try and work out
25:40they were mostly in the kitchen and sitting room
25:47this is when they leave for lunch
25:51and then
25:53stop
25:55who's that
25:554.17pm
25:57that's before the guest came back for dinner
25:59that's Ryan
26:00he got back early to do the treasure hunt
26:02of course he did
26:03got excited
26:04thought I'd found something

26:09here we go
26:13here you know
26:16and there's Oscar
26:19and Ryan

26:26no that's it
26:27what is

26:42they're all
26:43turning towards the noise
26:45in their witness statements
26:47they all say they heard the shout
26:51now
26:52if the shout came from the library
26:54Oscar
26:55would have looked down
26:57and left
26:58but on the footage
27:00he instinctively looks
27:01down
27:02and right

27:42we can't wait here forever
27:45we're heading to the same station
27:47so it just makes sense too
27:49I'm not running
27:50I don't think that
27:53call me
27:54if you need anything
27:55I'll message you
28:14I'm going nowhere
28:19are you mad
28:23we know who murdered Freddie
28:24the police are on their way
28:26you need to come back to the house
28:28if you're still suggesting I'm responsible
28:30we're not
28:30don't worry
28:32here
28:34turn it over
28:38that's not my writing
28:39the university may have matched your signature
28:42but no one considered that the most
28:43insignificant writing on the document
28:45could be the most revealing
28:48someone framed you
28:49Oscar
28:51and we can prove it
28:58yeah I love that
28:59thanks
29:02how did you get here this quickly
29:04yeah I know a few shortcuts
29:06you are very lucky
29:08that the speed camera on winter hill
29:09is out of action
29:11is everyone else still in the house
29:12yes
29:12let's go
29:13now
29:16I guess
29:17you see
29:29people
29:31are surprising
29:32Freddie
29:33was surprising
29:35all weekend
29:36we've been hearing about
29:37Freddie's faults
29:38but you were still friends with him
29:40you wanted to spend time with him
29:42we were thinking
29:44about what Freddie did
29:45wrong
29:46that could have provoked his murderer
29:49what we didn't consider
29:50is that Freddie died
29:52because he did something right
29:54Judith
29:55who killed Freddie
29:58Ryan
29:59would you like to continue
30:01or shall I
30:03are you joking
30:04absolutely not
30:06he's also responsible
30:08for Oscar's expulsion
30:10from university
30:13are you really suggesting
30:15I ruined one friend's life
30:17and
30:17and then killed another
30:20we've been over this
30:22I didn't know about Freddie and Sasha
30:24and why would I have framed Oscar
30:27well let's start there
30:28I don't think you intended
30:30to frame Oscar
30:31not originally
30:32Bex told us how you struggled
30:34at university
30:35in the foreword to your book
30:37you say yourself
30:38it was the toughest time
30:40of your life
30:41how you were suddenly
30:43a little fish
30:44in a big pond
30:44and
30:45when you got to your dissertation
30:46you panicked
30:48and you plagiarized material
30:50to get it finished
30:50but when it came to
30:52actually handing it in
30:53you knew you wouldn't
30:54get away with it
30:55so you put your cover sheet
30:57on Oscar's essay
30:58forged another
31:00signed supposedly by Oscar
31:02and put that
31:03on the plagiarized essay
31:04you knew you'd have to
31:06submit something
31:06to finish the course
31:07and you couldn't bear
31:09the thought of failing
31:11faking the signature
31:13of someone you knew
31:14so well
31:15can't have been hard
31:16you even deleted
31:17the essay from his computer
31:19well
31:19you lived together
31:21you certainly had the access
31:23Oscar was devastated
31:24he didn't notice
31:26the handwriting
31:26on the back
31:27of the cover sheet
31:28that would have exposed you
31:32you hired me
31:34I worked for you
31:36all these years
31:37you knew what you did
31:38and you said nothing
31:39I didn't
31:41Oscar
31:43I'm sorry
31:44but this
31:45has nothing
31:46to do
31:46with Freddy's death
31:47I didn't kill him
31:49we're getting to that
31:50Freddy must have been
31:51digging around
31:52in all your records
31:53presumably looking
31:55for something
31:55funny
31:56to bring back
31:57to the reunion
31:58dirt gossip
31:59but what he found
32:01was the dissertation
32:02in Oscar's records
32:04he brought it back
32:05and confronted you
32:06didn't he
32:08what's up
32:09we're about to go
32:11you know the unexpected
32:13bonus about my new job
32:16access to all the records
32:19everyone's grades
32:21the reports
32:24the disciplinaries
32:26there's not a shred
32:27of evidence
32:27for any of this
32:28you said that you grew
32:30out of the rivalry
32:31and I believe you might have
32:33but I don't think
32:34Freddy did
32:34that's why he was sleeping
32:36with your ex-wife
32:38Freddy discovered
32:39something huge
32:40he wasn't going to stand by
32:42with the knowledge
32:42that you had cheated
32:43framed Oscar
32:44and lied about it
32:46and it must have been
32:47a nice added bonus
32:48that he get to destroy
32:50his old rival's reputation
32:52while restoring Oscars
32:54that's your handwriting
32:55on the back
32:55isn't it
32:56yeah I'd recognise it
32:57anywhere
32:58you swapped Oscar's
32:59dissertation for yours
33:00looks like you've got
33:01an apology to make
33:03you can't be serious
33:04you can't prove anything
33:06with that
33:07oh I bet I can
33:08I think Oscar
33:09would give it a good shot too
33:11that lost him
33:12his entire degree
33:13do you think
33:14he's going to be happy
33:15knowing the real reason
33:15he ended up as your
33:16lucky
33:17I mean what were you thinking
33:21what are you going to do
33:22give you the benefit
33:23of the doubt
33:25and the deadline
33:26if you don't say something
33:27by the time we leave
33:30I will
33:32let me show you something
33:38I'm on camera
33:39at the time of the murder
33:40we all are
33:42we went back over that footage
33:43a million times
33:44and Judith found something
33:45we had all missed
33:46you told us yourself
33:47you had extra access
33:49to the house that day
33:50your treasure hunt
33:53on the recordings
33:54you move from room to room
33:55or perfectly innocent
33:57that's right
33:58you spend
33:59just over a minute
34:01planting a clue
34:02in each room
34:04except for here
34:05where you spend
34:07nearly six minutes
34:09in the camera blind spot
34:10right by Hector's
34:12secret door
34:14why would you spend
34:15so much time
34:16in this small space
34:18unless you'd found something
34:20Hector's cameras
34:22there was a man
34:23hiding in there
34:25how did I supposedly
34:26find his hideout
34:28he'd have seen me
34:29because he wasn't there
34:30the whole time
34:30I reckon
34:31you didn't have much
34:32of a plan until then
34:33and with only six of you
34:34in the house
34:35you knew that hurting
34:37Freddy would be too risky
34:38because the police
34:39would know it was one of you
34:39and you couldn't let the news
34:41about the dissertation
34:42get out
34:42because that would ruin
34:43everything that you'd built up
34:45your charitable foundation
34:47your, well, your reputation
34:49as an honourable man
34:50knowing about the cameras
34:52it gave you the ingredients
34:54for the perfect alibi
34:56you even planted the idea
34:58that there was another person
34:59in the house first
35:00the figure outside the library
35:04if I saw that person
35:05there was someone there
35:06exactly
35:07you did see someone
35:08you saw Ryan
35:10and Ryan saw you
35:11and he knew that
35:12if he corroborated
35:14what you'd seen
35:15then you'd both
35:16look innocent
35:20a shared witness statement
35:22and the suggestion
35:24of another person
35:25in the house
35:25who could have carried out
35:26the murder
35:26something that ultimately
35:28led us to Hector
35:32when you walked
35:33into the library
35:34and saw Freddy
35:37you spotted the knife
35:40you took it
35:45and you killed him
35:52very entertaining
35:53but you're forgetting
35:54that I was on camera
35:56when everyone
35:56heard the shout
35:57you were
35:58we'd always assumed
36:00that it was Freddy
36:01who shouted
36:01but in reality
36:03it could be
36:03any man's voice
36:04which explains
36:05why Oscar looks
36:06the wrong way
36:07when he hears the sound
36:08from the CCTV
36:10because the shout
36:11didn't come from
36:11the library
36:12it came from you
36:13in a hallway
36:14Freddy was already dead
36:17you knew exactly
36:19where the camera pointed
36:21and with your back to it
36:24you shouted
36:27then you turned
36:28to the supposed
36:29source of the noise
36:30knowing everyone else
36:32would too
36:32it's quite an impressive
36:34sleight of hand
36:34but the only thing
36:35you didn't find
36:36was the dissertation cover
36:38I'm guessing
36:39you searched the house
36:39when you set
36:40the treasure hunt
36:40but you had no idea
36:41Freddy would have
36:42hidden it so well
36:43Freddy knew
36:44you'd be after
36:45the evidence
36:45he anticipated
36:47that you try
36:47and steal
36:48the dissertation cover
36:49back
36:50that's why he went
36:51to such great pains
36:53to hide it
36:53paired with a sample
36:55of Oscar's
36:56real handwriting
36:58he didn't realise
36:59how far you'd go
37:00to silence it
37:04who's that?
37:05perfect timing
37:05I'm here
37:07is that Colin?
37:08yes it is
37:10sorry
37:10it took long
37:11unexpected
37:12but I've got it
37:12it was at the bottom
37:14of the ottoman
37:14I think you're right
37:15on time
37:16thank you
37:17Bex
37:18do you mind
37:18if I borrow this?
37:20Susie
37:20have you got
37:21the dissertation?
37:25happy birthday
37:25Bex
37:27here's to another
37:2720 years of friendship
37:29love
37:31Ryan
37:31the handwriting
37:33matches
37:34conclusive proof
37:50I didn't want
37:52to hurt him
37:55it all spiralled
37:58you've got to believe that
38:02but after everything
38:06I couldn't risk
38:07the foundation
38:08everything I built
38:09being exposed
38:11as a cheat
38:12and a liar
38:13and what
38:15all as part of
38:16Freddy's ego trip
38:20if there was
38:21any other way
38:23I don't know
38:25what else
38:26could I do?
38:27think of how many
38:28people the foundation
38:29helps
38:32it wasn't about me
38:36it wasn't
38:40it was only
38:41ever
38:41about you
38:56I don't know
39:10you
39:17I don't understand why I can't keep hosting.
39:20I can't afford the outkeep. I'll lose it.
39:23We've been over this, Mr. Bly. Hidden cameras are illegal.
39:26You might not be able to host anymore, but why don't you open it up?
39:31Let people see it. Wander the gardens.
39:33Charge a modest fee for the pleasure.
39:35You could even officially install cameras that way, too.
39:39Something to think about.
39:40But the public, I'm not sure how I feel about that. More people.
39:45Well, you're lucky that none of this lot want to press charges.
39:48I still think the courts would side with me.
39:53Janika, can I ask you a favor?
39:56Come here.
39:57I can't. I don't know what to say.
40:01I think it's going to be a while before any of us know what to say.
40:05I know it's not exactly like we're close anymore, but we've been through so much.
40:08I really don't want to lose contact.
40:10Me neither.
40:11You're always welcome at the vicarage. Just text me.
40:14I'll take you up on that.
40:19We haven't been the best at keeping in touch, but let's at least make the effort.
40:25I'm fucking mistaken.
40:28So what's next, now that you can properly contest the plagiarism?
40:32I guess I can finally appeal the university.
40:34There's a lot of paperwork in my future.
40:37I hate how everything's turned out, but I'm so pleased for you.
40:40Just hope I can salvage the foundation.
40:42With Ryan gone, it's not going to be easy.
40:44With you, it'll be in good hands.
40:59What?
41:00You have me on the board.
41:03No, well...
41:05You could have picked a better photo.
41:07Well, I think it's lovely, and it wasn't the same without you.
41:10Oh, here comes the hero of the hour.
41:14I'm just very glad to have been helpful.
41:17I'm very happy to have you home.
41:20I can safely say I didn't enjoy having to keep things so formal in this one.
41:24You did everything you had to do.
41:25I'm just sorry it caused you extra stress.
41:28You're worth the trouble.
41:30And welcome back.
41:32Yes.
41:37Hey, you.
41:38Oh, look, we should talk.
41:40Oh, Brendan, it's too soon.
41:41No, no.
41:42When am I going to meet your folks?
41:43Well, they live on the island, man.
41:44No, wait, let me guess.
41:45It's not you, it's me.
41:47It's not where I'm going.
41:48What I'm trying to say is that I just appreciate if you didn't tell...
41:51Brendan, there's no reason to be embarrassed.
41:54You know, putting yourself out there, dating and all that.
41:57It's not for the faint hide, is it?
41:59Yes.
42:00It's a brave thing.
42:02But don't worry.
42:03I'm not going to tell anyone from your team.
42:05Thanks.
42:05All right?
42:06I'm afraid that ship may have already sailed with those two.
42:14Of course, Esau.
42:18Thank you for your help.
42:20I don't think anyone else could have got to the bottom of that mess.
42:22It was all so...
42:24Well, you couldn't have known it was him, Bex.
42:26All that time, the shame and guilt festering.
42:30The man who got into that police car isn't the man you went to university with.
42:34I know.
42:35I just can't believe he kept lying.
42:37Right up until the net fully closed in.
42:40It'll take a bit of time to process.
42:42Of course it will.
42:43But we'll be there to help in any way we can.
42:46I was always told that time doesn't define friendship.
42:49And I think that's particularly relevant to us.
42:55So, if you and Brendan aren't going to be a thing, which I think is a shame, by the way,
42:59how did the rest of the speed dating go?
43:01Do you really want to know?
43:02Mm-hmm.
43:02You better buckle up, ladies.
43:04Because first, there was Greg.
43:06How did you feel about Christmas jumpers in this weather?
43:08And then he went on and on about classic things to stop the breath.
43:11Oh, my name is Josh.
43:12He's obsessed with avocado.
43:14Where are you coming from?
43:15They took him to avocado.
43:22Oh, my name is Josh.
43:45Oh, my name is Josh.
