00:28You
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 arm's 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.
01:22Oh, God forbid we derail the organised fun schedule.
01:26Freddy, come on.
01:27Same as before.
01:29Yeah.
01:30Pick a number.
01:31Get ready to hide.
01:32Pick the Joker.
01:34And you're our killer.
01:35Give it.
01:48Let's go.
01:50Oh, God.
01:52Turn it out to me.
02:02Ah.
02:02Ah.
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.
02:20No, 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. Darling.
02:29One.
02:30Two.
02:31And you best get going.
02:33Clock's ticking.
02:34Three.
02:36Four.
02:37Five.
02:55Lights on!
02:58Yes, I thought it was me.
03:00You definitely came from upstairs.
03:02No.
03:02No.
03:04Any 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 this Colonel must have...
03:21With the Boer walled bayonet.
03:25He's not in here, over.
03:29No, he's here.
03:32Freddy?
03:34Oh, no.
03:35Get up there.
03:36Oh, my God.
03:50I'll get it.
03:57You go say it quick.
03:58It 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, Rob.
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, are 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.
05:12He listens to a podcast, right?
05:14Look, you said some of those stories are weird, too.
05:16Oh.
05:21Well, that's some vicious ghost.
05:25Here you go.
05:26Thanks.
05:28Here.
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 was begging 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?
07:04Now, these 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 Freddy died?
07:32If you head home,
07:33it'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 Freddy ever do anything that could have led to this?
08:44I mean, Freddy 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 Freddy and Ryan always had this weird rivalry going.
08:57I think they always saw themselves
08:58as the official leader of the group.
09:00But you need it to be a really long time
09:01to 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 would be really useful
09:17if you could give us a bit of background on everyone.
09:18Oh, sure. Whatever I can do.
09:31Thank you, ladies.
09:32Oh, no, we'll just go and take a look around.
09:35Won't we, Susie?
09:36Yeah.
09:40I know you're still there.
09:42On our way.
09:42Sorry.
09:47Okay, so Ryan, Ryan 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.
10:03He struggled with his studies, though.
10:05But it lit a fire under him,
10:06and 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.
10:13We're taking care of all that.
10:16I gather you and Freddy were close.
10:18Definitely.
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, I guess.
10:40Picked our rooms,
10:40then went for a walk through the woods
10:42to 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
10:51than she used to.
10:52I just want to clarify,
10:53this 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,
11:03he 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 the hero worshipped him
11:14since we were 18.
11:15He was expelled from uni
11:17ahead of the final exams.
11:19Plagiarism in his dissertation.
11:20It was a hard knock to recover from.
11:23After dinner,
11:24Ryan had set one of his legendary treasure hunts.
11:26He's a brilliant games master
11:28who used to throw these incredible parties
11:30when we were at university
11:31and deck out the whole house
11:33with these, uh...
11:34Sorry.
11:36I'm rambling.
11:37Um...
11:37Don't worry.
11:38We're nearly there.
11:40Is there anything else
11:41we should know about today?
11:43Anything out of the ordinary?
11:46Any arguments or frictions
11:47within the group?
11:49No.
11:50No.
11:52Not that I noticed.
11:53No.
11:59Oh.
12:01Stabbed 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.
12:13Uh, Jason.
12:14How can I help you, Mrs. Potts?
12:15Um, the label on Freddy's jacket.
12:18What brand is it?
12:20Uh, it's a Greyheart.
12:22Oh, my father had a Greyheart jacket.
12:24Bespoke tailoring.
12:26Savile row.
12:27Hmm.
12:27Expensive.
12:28Exactly.
12:29Well, the stitching on the trousers
12:30is all over the place.
12:31Off the peg, I reckon.
12:33Thank you, Jason.
12:34You know, someone like Freddy,
12:36someone who owned clothes like that,
12:39surely they'd know
12:40that's not how you pair an outfit.
12:41Hmm.
12:42I stand corrected.
12:43No fingerprints on the knife.
12:45Helen thinks cause of death
12:46is most likely to be exsanguination.
12:48The blade completely severed
12:49the thoracic aorta,
12:50causing massive internal bleeding.
12:52He probably died almost instantly.
12:55Um, we'd best have it.
12:58Yeah.
12:58I think we should pay
12:59Mr. Freddy Thatcher Hughes
13:01a room of his it.
13:02Hey, forensics do have to sweep that room,
13:04so whatever you're scarpering off to do,
13:07just do it properly.
13:11Sir.
13:12Can you tell me where you were
13:14when 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
13:24just before.
13:27But it happened.
13:29Oscar was on the top floor.
13:32But I'm pretty sure
13:33there was someone outside the library.
13:35Yes, there was somebody by the library.
13:39Couldn't tell you.
13:40But, um,
13:41Bex wasn't here.
13:42She might know.
13:43I came straight downstairs,
13:44but I didn't see anyone
13:46until I passed Jessica
13:47in the sitting room doorway.
13:48I just assumed everyone else was upstairs
13:49until Bex walked past.
13:56What do you think?
13:58That it's convenient everyone's got an alibi
14:00and that they're all corroborated by each other.
14:16You can't have been that stylish.
14:18My grandad had a pair like this
14:19and he used to wear clogs.
14:21Oh!
14:23Sorry.
14:24What's happened?
14:25I've been trying to hire a builder for weeks.
14:28But I've been,
14:29I believe the term is,
14:30ghosted three times.
14:32Finally,
14:32someone who might be able to help.
14:34Easier to find a husband in Marlow
14:35than it is a builder.
14:37If he's any good,
14:38give me my number.
14:38So you can hire him or marry him?
14:40Hmm.
14:41Time 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.
15:19No wood or coal?
15:21No, just paper.
15:23It looks like...
15:25Somebody's burned a book.
15:30You all gave me detailed accounts of the day,
15:32but 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
15:45on the way back.
15:46Hey, 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,
15:56but Freddy...
15:57He overreacted.
15:59Got a bit shouty.
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,
16:08got no kids,
16:08you've got barely any friends.
16:09Just a dull job!
16:10You know, one day the charm is gonna run out
16:12and everyone will see what you really are.
16:14You're gonna go too far,
16:16you'll regret it.
16:20You told me he shouted.
16:22You didn't tell me you threatened him.
16:25None of you did.
16:27I just wanted to get through to him
16:28without him laughing at me.
16:29And it worked.
16:31Freddy actually apologised
16:32for the first time ever.
16:35I'm certainly not his biggest fan,
16:37but I didn't...
16:39hurt him.
16:41Right.
16:42And none of you thought
16:42to mention this earlier.
16:43I know how it looks,
16:44but you don't know Oscar like we do.
16:46I mean, there's no way
16:47he could do something like this.
16:49Are you certain about that?
16:50Because earlier,
16:51it didn't sound like
16:51you were particularly close anymore.
16:53I'm not.
16:54But I know him.
16:55I mean, we've all known him
16:56since he was 18.
16:57It's not enough.
16:57Look, I've worked with Oscar
16:59for over a decade.
17:00He couldn't have killed Freddy.
17:02It wasn't meant to be a lie.
17:04It was just...
17:05an omission.
17:06I really thought I'd be able
17:07to trust your word on this one.
17:09Anything else you're holding back,
17:11I suggest you tell us sooner
17:12rather than later.
17:26Anything else from the breakfast club?
17:28An argument this afternoon.
17:29Turns out they're not the tight unit
17:31they're purporting to be.
17:32Right, well, forensics
17:32are nearly done upstairs,
17:33and I've got the burnt pages
17:35from the fireplace ready for the lab.
17:37Great.
17:38Jason and Alice,
17:39I want you both here
17:39until uniforms come to relieve you.
17:41And double-check the cellar
17:42for any ways in or out.
17:44Coffee.
17:44Coffee.
17:45Coffee.
17:48You're welcome to join the briefing
17:49tomorrow morning,
17:50but I have rules.
17:51I need you to keep your distance
17:53from Bex.
17:54At best, she's a witness.
17:55At worst, a suspect.
17:57Investigate as you have to,
17:58but you are only to talk to her
17:59as you would a suspect.
18:01She is not to help you
18:02with 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.
18:11Couple of muffins
18:12wouldn't go amiss either.
18:14Blueberry, please.
18:29Well, no one got in or out this way.
18:33Why does it feel like
18:34this wasn't the first person
18:35to die in this house?
18:36I mean, statistically,
18:38dozens have probably died
18:39in a house this age.
18:40Look, when you think about it,
18:41someone has died in most houses.
18:42Your flat is Victorian.
18:43Over a century old.
18:44Yeah, this isn't helping.
18:45I thought you weren't scared.
18:46I'm not.
18:47Help!
18:48Open!
18:49Open!
18:50Open!
18:52Open!
18:58Open!
18:58Open, please, please!
19:01Hello?
19:03Hello?
19:04Please!
19:05I have to go!
19:07What's happened?
19:08Are you all right?
19:08I thought I heard footsteps.
19:10It sounded like they were coming from above.
19:12It's the attic.
19:13I opened it by accident earlier
19:14and now it's locked.
19:15What's happening?
19:16Is everything all right?
19:17It's okay.
19:18You both go back to bed.
19:19We're looking to this.
19:21Did you hear the footsteps above?
19:23I was supposed to sleep.
19:24You've been through a lot tonight,
19:25Mrs. Weaver.
19:26It's an old house with warping doors
19:28and faulty locks.
19:29It must happen all the time.
19:30Okay?
19:31Okay?
19:32Mrs. has checked the whole house.
19:34I'm sure
19:35there's nothing to worry about.
19:37Okay.
19:53First rule of a horror movie.
19:55Never go upstairs.
19:58Yes.
19:59Yes.
20:11Let's just see if it's mice.
20:13Huh?
20:14Yeah.
20:16Yeah.
20:17I'm going down now.
20:17Yeah.
20:18Wait.
20:19Wait.
20:20Wait.
20:40Oh, good morning.
20:41We've thought about what you said
20:43and obviously we have a vested interest
20:45in this case.
20:45But it just means we're more determined
20:47to solve it.
20:48In the right way.
20:50Good.
20:51So, what do we have?
20:52Well, we've informed
20:54Marie Thatcher Hughes
20:55of her husband's death
20:56that witnesses placed her in Bath.
20:58Um, according to reports
20:59it sounds like
21:00your standard marriage.
21:01Standard marriage?
21:02I never took you
21:03for such a romantic, Brendan.
21:05Hmm.
21:06We managed to track down
21:08the owner of the house,
21:09uh, Hector Bly,
21:11currently on a whiskey tour
21:12of the Highlands.
21:13All right for some.
21:14Yeah.
21:14Then after the trouser argument
21:16we looked into Oscar Nilsson.
21:18There's not even a parking ticket
21:19in his name,
21:20so seems an unlikely culprit.
21:23Is there any information
21:24about further comings
21:25and goings from the house?
21:25Now, we checked the motion
21:27sensor security lights
21:28on the front and back lawn.
21:29The sensors were lost
21:30triggered at 5 or 7 p.m.,
21:32which matches the time
21:33the group said
21:33they returned to the house.
21:34So no one went in or out
21:36after that time?
21:37How's our layout looking?
21:38Oh, um, well,
21:40we've got Freddie Thatcher
21:42Hughes' body in the library,
21:44and then Ryan Hill
21:46on the first floor,
21:48and then Oscar
21:50outside his bedroom
21:51on the second floor.
21:53Oh, and then downstairs
21:54in the entrance hall
21:55you've got Jessica Rawlinson
21:58and Rebecca Starling.
22:02Yeah, well, don't forget Una.
22:03Yep.
22:03Una Weaver
22:05in the parlour.
22:06And then there's the
22:07mystery figure
22:08outside the library,
22:10supposedly seen by two people.
22:12Did anything interesting
22:13crop up after we left last night?
22:15Well, it's probably nothing,
22:16but Mrs. Weaver thought
22:18she heard footsteps
22:19in the attic.
22:20We went to check it out,
22:21but there was nothing up there.
22:22You should hear the racket
22:23my 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,
22:34you hear what you want to hear.
22:36There was no one else
22:37in the house.
22:38All the evidence suggests
22:39it's one of the houseguests.
22:41But why risk killing Freddie
22:42with so few suspects?
22:44Surely the murderer
22:45would know that the investigation
22:46would focus on that small group.
22:48We saw how Freddie was killed.
22:50That wasn't premeditated.
22:52It was opportunistic.
22:55Someone's story
22:56isn't adding up.
23:14Morning.
23:18We were just talking about
23:19when Freddie decided
23:20academia was boring
23:21and he wanted to be
23:22a TV presenter instead.
23:23Such a weird couple of months.
23:25Thank God he reconsidered.
23:27Who really thought
23:28those frosted tips
23:29made him look edgy?
23:30Yeah, until he went swimming
23:31and the chlorine
23:32turned them bright green.
23:37I hate this.
23:39The police pulled
23:40my room apart last night.
23:42They're just being thorough.
23:46What do you think happened?
23:47Someone just
23:49broke in
23:49and did that?
23:51Jesus,
23:51if it's wrong time
23:52wrong place
23:53that's hideous.
23:55Well, I'd rather
23:56that than the alternative.
24:00How long do you think
24:01they'll keep us here?
24:03Maybe you should
24:04check in with a colleague.
24:05Someone who specialises
24:07in this sort of thing.
24:07Check everything
24:08they're asking of us
24:09is above board.
24:10Oh yes.
24:10I'll just reveal
24:11to the people
24:12I've been working with
24:12the last decade
24:13that I'm involved
24:14in a murder case.
24:15I mean, that'll keep
24:16the water cooler busy.
24:19I know these officers.
24:20Clearly.
24:21I'm not getting
24:22any special treatment
24:22if that's what
24:23you're suggesting.
24:24Well, you've folded
24:25about Oscar and Freddy's
24:26argument pretty quickly.
24:27I bet you've told them
24:28who you think
24:28is capable of murder.
24:30I really cannot comprehend
24:31that anyone in this room
24:32could hurt Freddy.
24:33But if anyone can get
24:34to the bottom of it,
24:35that team can.
24:36We need to do everything
24:37we can to help them.
24:40Unless you've got
24:41something to hide.
24:42Of course not.
24:43No.
24:44Well, I'm suspect number one
24:46if I refuse to play along
24:47now, aren't I?
24:54We don't have to put it up.
24:56No, we've got to do
24:57this properly.
25:03Oh, it's my builder.
25:04Excuse me.
25:07Hello?
25:07Yes.
25:09Oh, what time?
25:12Oh, I see.
25:13Well, hopefully I will be.
25:17Apparently, he's going
25:18to do his best to pop
25:19by later, but he can't
25:21guarantee a time,
25:22or that he'll even turn up.
25:23Well, there'll be no
25:24marrying him now
25:25if that's his attitude.
25:29Judith, look at this.
25:32There's words visible.
25:33Be.
25:35Am.
25:36It is.
25:39Until.
25:42Dimit.
25:44Anything else?
25:45Oh, wait a minute.
25:50Harker.
25:52It must have been Dracula
25:53that they burned
25:54in the fireplace.
25:55That's very impressive.
25:56Keanu Reeves films
25:57from the 90s.
25:58Basically,
25:59my specialist subject.
26:01You are a woman
26:01of many talents,
26:03Susie Harris.
26:03I think it might be time
26:05for us to find out
26:06why Freddie had such
26:08a strong dislike
26:09for gothic fiction.
26:11I've got the report
26:12back on Freddie's phone.
26:13A few snippy messages
26:14to colleagues,
26:15but nothing warranting murder.
26:16The one thing
26:17that did ring alarm bells,
26:18ten days before the reunion,
26:20Freddie received
26:20twelve missed calls
26:21all from the same number.
26:23We traced it.
26:24Una Weaver's phone.
26:25Right.
26:26Let's get over there now.
26:27Alice, Jason,
26:27keep looking into socials
26:28from Susnecks.
26:29Gov.
26:29Gov.
26:36I haven't seen these before.
26:37Bex.
26:39Bex.
26:39Their presence.
26:40The police put more there
26:42once they'd finished searching.
26:43Advanced copies
26:44signed for each of us.
26:46Climbing to the top
26:47of the hill.
26:48By Ryan Hill.
26:50He means well.
26:51There's one missing.
26:53Freddie's copy isn't here.
26:55I'm assuming
26:55he got the same book.
26:57Yes, fair or well.
26:58That'll be Tanika.
26:59This may seem odd,
27:01but does Dracula
27:01mean anything to you?
27:03He did his PhD
27:04in Gothic literature.
27:05Maybe there's a connection.
27:08I am not helping them
27:14at all.
27:14I'm just doing the dishes.
27:21Well.
27:23I know it doesn't sound it
27:24after what he said to Oscar,
27:27but Freddie lit up a room.
27:29If there was ever
27:30anything wrong,
27:30he was the first
27:31to whisk you off
27:32for drinks
27:32and dancing
27:34or some sort of adventure.
27:37Being his friend
27:38was so fun.
27:41Had you seen him much
27:42since you left uni?
27:44Not as much as I'd like.
27:46We went for lunch
27:47about five years ago
27:48when he was in Coventry
27:49for work.
27:50Other than that,
27:51it's basically Christmas
27:52and birthday messages
27:53each year.
27:54If that's the case,
27:55why did you repeatedly
27:56call 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
28:03it was twelve.
28:06He hadn't replied
28:07about whether he was coming,
28:08so I thought I'd call
28:09just to talk to him,
28:12but, uh,
28:13kept going to voicemail.
28:15So you bombarded him?
28:17Hmm?
28:18Why?
28:19If he wasn't here,
28:21it wouldn't have been perfect.
28:22Why did it have to be perfect?
28:25I just remembered
28:25how much fun we had
28:26and how I missed everyone,
28:28so I decided
28:30to throw the reunion.
28:33I know it doesn't look good,
28:35but I just wanted
28:36Freddie here.
28:37Twelve calls
28:37would certainly suggest that.
28:40Is there anything else
28:41you 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
28:51for matches
28:51before we went to lunch.
28:53I didn't even think
28:54to ask him
28:54why he needed them.
28:55I thought he'd started
28:56smoking again.
28:58But I should have asked him.
29:00Shouldn't I?
29:02Things like that
29:03never seem significant
29:03until afterwards.
29:05But, thank you.
29:07That's all you know.
29:09Yeah, that's everything.
29:18Well, that wasn't
29:19entirely convincing,
29:20was it?
29:20Mm-hmm.
29:28What's up?
29:31I, uh...
29:32I have to tell you something.
29:41So, Freddie's copy
29:43of Ryan's book
29:44could be in here somewhere.
29:45Assume so.
29:48Oh, Judith.
29:49You might want to see this.
29:57Times like this,
29:58I wish I could lip-read.
30:00Yeah.
30:00Una just pulled me aside,
30:02said Jessica was lying.
30:05She said earlier
30:06that she hadn't seen
30:08Freddie in years.
30:10Yep.
30:11But Una saw a photo
30:14of both of them
30:15at an alumni event
30:17a few months ago.
30:20Got it.
30:22What's she up to?
30:25Oh, yes, Bex.
30:28Colin's sending us
30:29the transcript.
30:30It sounds like
30:31there might be
30:31some incriminating photos
30:33of Jessica for us
30:34to track down.
30:34Oh, well done, Bex.
30:36And still managing
30:37to obey Tanika
30:38to the letter.
30:39Yes.
30:39If Jessica's been lying
30:40to the police
30:41about her relationship
30:42with Freddie,
30:43that changes everything.
30:44Right, you keep looking
30:45for the book.
30:45I'm going to find
30:46these photos.
30:49So,
30:51dating.
30:52Hmm.
30:52That's a new decision.
30:53Well, it's just a bit of fun.
30:55I mean,
30:56if I was taking it
30:57that seriously,
30:57I would not be booked
30:58into speed dating
30:59at the Churchill Tap
31:00this evening.
31:01Sounds like my idea
31:02of hell.
31:03Well, if nothing else,
31:04you always get
31:05a good story.
31:08Oh, yes.
31:10Easy.
31:11I got it.
31:13Oh.
31:16Jessica,
31:17may we have a word?
31:19I've already spoken
31:20to the police.
31:20If the DI wants
31:22to talk again,
31:22I'll call a lawyer
31:23and we can do this properly.
31:25Very well.
31:26It seems you lied
31:27to the police
31:28and as a legal professional
31:30with a reputation
31:31to uphold,
31:32we thought you might
31:32want to handle it
31:34discreetly.
31:35But we can always catch
31:36DI Malik before she leaves.
31:38Okay, wait.
31:39What are you talking about?
31:39I honestly don't know.
31:41You said you hadn't
31:42seen Freddie for years,
31:43but we have photographs
31:44that suggest otherwise.
31:46This is you.
31:47Nice dress.
31:49At the Future Leaders event.
31:51And, oh,
31:53that's Freddie,
31:55isn't it?
31:56I didn't know
31:57he was there.
31:58There are hundreds
31:59of people.
32:00Any of those photos
32:02show us together?
32:04That's not evidence.
32:06And our names
32:07aren't on those pictures,
32:08which means the only reason
32:09you found them
32:10is because somebody
32:11told you about them.
32:12You trying to throw me
32:13under the bus
32:14to shift the blame?
32:15That's not what...
32:15Why did you lie about it?
32:17The same reason
32:17I backed up Oscar.
32:18It doesn't look good,
32:19does it?
32:20Nice to know
32:21no one will do
32:21the same for me.
32:22Someone died.
32:23No one should be
32:25backing anyone up.
32:26We're not accusing
32:27you of anything.
32:28No.
32:28Well, it doesn't feel
32:29that way.
32:34You weren't there,
32:35okay?
32:35It was creepy.
32:36I could walk around
32:37that place all night.
32:39Pitch black.
32:39It wouldn't bother me
32:40at all.
32:41I guess I'm just good
32:42at keeping my cool.
32:44Brendan!
32:45It's unprofessional.
32:46It's a place of work.
32:49So, I've spoken to Judith.
32:51Jessica lied
32:51about when she last
32:52saw Freddie
32:52and Una knew about it
32:54and hid it from us.
32:55They're our priority.
32:56Let's push,
32:57see if they're holding
32:58anything else back.
32:59We have a bigger problem.
33:01Found this picture
33:01on social media.
33:03And Bex said
33:03she barely knew him.
33:10You didn't tell us
33:11about Freddie's argument
33:12with Oscar
33:12and now I learn
33:13there's something else
33:14you're hiding.
33:14I told you everything
33:15I know.
33:16All the truth.
33:17This all looks a bit cosy
33:18for someone who said
33:19she barely knew him.
33:21Oh, that.
33:23When I came back
33:24from Italy
33:24I met Freddie
33:25and he asked me out.
33:26But it was nothing.
33:27Really.
33:28We went on two dates.
33:30That was more than enough
33:31for me to know
33:32that I didn't want a third.
33:33All I learnt was
33:34that he's rude to waiters
33:35and he loves a Vesper martini.
33:38It was such a long time ago.
33:40You should have said
33:40I had no intention
33:41of withholding anything
33:43and there's nothing else
33:44I promise.
33:44I just
33:46didn't think.
33:48Look
33:50I know it's been
33:50a stressful day
33:52and I think it's clear
33:53that you didn't have
33:53anything to do
33:54with Freddie's death
33:54but that's not going
33:56to stop me getting banned
33:57from hiring civilian advisors.
34:00Bex, I really thought
34:01I 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, maybe it was
34:19just a heavy night.
34:20I called into his file
34:21he lives on campus
34:22with his family.
34:23Why would he need
34:23a hotel room?
34:25Unless he was
34:25hiding something.
34:26Exactly.
34:27I called the hotel
34:28and they don't have
34:29any CCTV that'll help
34:30but they said
34:31the room was booked
34:31for two people.
34:33Freddie took the receipt
34:34but a second person
34:35requested a copy for it
34:36later that week
34:37via email.
34:38The mystery guest?
34:39Could be.
34:40They're going to check in
34:41with the council
34:41and let me know.
34:42Nice.
34:44It's mainly just
34:45some 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?
34:55Oh, this isn't...
34:56Oh, yeah.
34:57Is 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, hidden 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
35:44I need to be.
35:45Well, I haven't finished
35:45measuring up yet.
35:46I could just do with that.
35:47Time for that another day.
35:48Are you sure?
35:49Thanks.
35:49Oh, okay.
36:01Here we go.
36:05Right.
36:06Same rules apply.
36:07Ladies, sit tight.
36:08Man, rotate on the...
36:10Oh.
36:15Walking dogs.
36:16Top job.
36:19I'm more of a cat person.
36:24They're traveling.
36:26Oh.
36:30So,
36:31Glastow 2004
36:32was definitely better.
36:33Yeah,
36:332011,
36:34at its moments.
36:352017,
36:36didn't think
36:37we'd even get tickets.
36:40Avocados.
36:41Oh,
36:42no,
36:42I'm sorry.
36:43Sorry.
36:51Hello there.
36:52Well,
36:53well,
36:53well.
36:54I wasn't expecting this.
36:56I just came
36:57where I was dragged
36:58by a mate.
36:59I was basically forced.
37:01Oh.
37:02As a wingman.
37:04It's just a
37:04supportive friend.
37:06Which friend?
37:08He's just getting a drink.
37:09Just over there.
37:09Where did he go?
37:11He's, um...
37:11Oh, right.
37:12Yeah, yeah.
37:12Yeah.
37:13Over 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.
37:30What?
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.
37:39Um,
37:40listen,
37:40I'd better get going.
37:43You coming?
37:44Abso-bloody-lutely.
37:46Come on, Luna.
37:47Come on, girl.
37:47Come on, girl.
37:48Now that's what I call
37:49speed dating.
37:52All right, everybody.
37:53Here we go again.
37:56Four.
37:59Five.
38:01Six.
38:06Three.
38:08Four.
38:08Four.
38:09Five.
38:10Six.
38:13Seven.
38:15Seven.
38:23What are you doing here?
38:24I have a theory.
38:26I have a theory.
38:26Well, currently half a theory.
38:28I can't help you.
38:29If my involvement affected
38:30the conviction of Freddie's killer,
38:31I'd never forgive myself.
38:33To convict his killer,
38:34we have to catch them first.
38:36And for that,
38:37I need your help.
38:42So what exactly are we looking for?
38:44Anything that might be something.
38:46There are more windows
38:47on the outside of the house
38:48than on the inside.
38:50You think part of the house
38:51is hidden?
38:52Yes.
38:53And somewhere
38:54there must be a way in.
38:56You say that as though
38:57it's the most natural thing
38:57in the world.
38:58Well, we used to hide priests.
39:00And the Sir Francis Drake Hotel
39:02in San Francisco
39:03had an entire
39:04prohibition floor
39:05that was hidden in the plans.
39:11Bex?
39:13No one thinks you're lying.
39:15We trust you.
39:18It doesn't feel like that.
39:22Tanika thinks I've been
39:23deliberately holding back information,
39:24but it wasn't like that.
39:26And the group think
39:27I'm talking to the police
39:28about them.
39:31You've lost one friend,
39:32and it's possible
39:33another friend killed him.
39:35You're in an awful position.
39:37You don't have to
39:37explain yourself.
39:38I do.
39:39Trying to prove you're innocent
39:40is much harder
39:41than you'd think.
39:42The more you protest,
39:43the more you look guilty.
39:48There are scratches
39:49on the floorboards.
39:51Goodness.
39:54Bex?
39:57Bex?
39:59Bex?
40:05Look!
40:09This doesn't look
40:10like an escape tunnel.
40:11Oh, my God.
40:44It's still warm.
40:48We're not alone.
