00:46I don't believe it.
00:50Okay, Luna.
00:52This stops now.
01:11Geoffrey.
01:14Cup of tea.
01:19You're right.
01:20You're always right.
01:22I shouldn't have...
01:22Don't worry.
01:23Did you bring any biscuits?
01:25As it happens, I did.
01:27Chocolate bourbons.
01:29The king of biscuits.
01:31Lovely!
01:33I mean, I know I bring them every time, but they really are the best.
01:37Quite right.
01:38Couldn't agree with you more.
01:41Afternoon, gents.
01:43So, what's on the agenda?
01:44Big collections, potholes, or dog mess in Higginson Park?
01:48If we're really lucky, all three.
01:50What a ray of sunshine you are, Terrence.
01:53Oh, chocolate bourbons.
01:55You can't beat the velvety chocolate of a bourbon biscuit.
02:01Ah, Debbie.
02:01Perfect timing.
02:02Can I make you a coffee, darling?
02:04I can get my own.
02:05Thank you, darling.
02:07I just need to distribute these...
02:09Let me...
02:12There you are.
02:18Marcus said he had a viewing in an hour, so...
02:21How about we just crack on?
02:23Sadly, that won't be possible.
02:25We can't start the meeting without Sophia.
02:27We're not quarrot.
02:28Terrence.
02:29Can't you just overrule him, chairman?
02:30He's not the chairman.
02:31He is.
02:31He isn't.
02:32Are you really saying the mayor of Marlow doesn't chair our meeting?
02:35Authority is only invested in a chair when the meeting has been convened, and we're not quarrot.
02:46I'm sorry I'm late.
02:47Just in time.
02:48Come in, Sophia.
02:49Come in.
02:49I was in my studio and completely lost track of the time.
02:55Have I missed anything?
03:00Right then.
03:01That's the last of it.
03:02Well done, everyone.
03:03We're going to have to get on the road if we're going to make the campsite by Nightfall.
03:06Great outdoors awaits.
03:10Sure you don't want to come with us?
03:12Instead of staying here with the whole house to yourself?
03:14Text me when you get there.
03:15We are going to have so much fun, aren't we, Sam?
03:18And have a total digital detox.
03:19Please, I'm going in the glove box.
03:21Hurry up, we're getting in.
03:22You're getting in the back.
03:23No, I'm not.
03:24I'm always in the back.
03:26Just leave each other alone.
03:27Tell us.
03:28Get in.
03:29We'll swap halfway through.
03:30Just get in.
03:31We're swapping halfway through.
03:32In four days.
03:33Good luck.
03:35Please wear sunscreen, both of you.
03:38I'm not.
03:39I'm not.

11:33long time
11:34ago i was on the works and buildings committee which included looking after the graveyards and
11:38various parishes i um i i i messed up and could have gone into a lot of trouble but jeffrey
11:46he stepped
11:47in and sorted it all out he lived to help other people
11:55that's my husband sorry i'm gonna have to go
12:03paul paul wait up
12:08put jeffrey truman no listed next of kin became the mayor of marlowe last year
12:13and he was also involved in the Rotary Club, Dementia Action Marlowe, Meals for Marlowe.
12:20It's actually quite a long list.
12:22So he was a do-gooder.
12:26Which is good.
12:27What do we get from the witness statements at the scene?
12:29They all said he was well-liked and had no enemies.
12:32They assumed it was natural causes.
12:34There's nothing natural about someone putting aconite in your coffee.
12:37Exactly, so let's find out who put it there.
12:39Brendan, find out everything you can about the victim and check his home.
12:44Jason, what was Mr Truman up to before the meeting?
12:46Where did he go? Who did he see?
12:47And Alice, we're on background checks on the witnesses.
12:50Who they are and how did they get on with the victim.
12:52Go.
12:57Did Colin the kids leave this morning?
12:59They did.
13:00What's this?
13:01Colin's taking the kids camping.
13:03It means that Bex is put loose and fancy free.
13:06I've dreamt of this for years.
13:07No responsibilities for four whole days.
13:10Well, you deserve it.
13:12It's kind of spooky, though, isn't it?
13:15Everything looks so normal.
13:18But there's a killer here somewhere.
13:20That is, of course, floodplains permitting.
13:23Um, I'm going to have to leave.
13:25Merci.
13:30Ladies, I should introduce myself, Marcus Percival.
13:33I take it you're working with the police?
13:35What makes you ask?
13:36Well, your reputation precedes you, Mrs Potts.
13:38Oh, all good, I hope.
13:39Do the police suspect foul play?
13:41I'm afraid they do.
13:43Impossible.
13:44What makes you say that?
13:45Because he was such a good guy.
13:47Never crossed anyone, never took offence.
13:50I can't imagine you've got any active leads.
13:54Let alone suspects.
13:56Thanks.
13:58Of course you can't say.
14:02Anyway, it was lovely talking to you.
14:04I need to go shut up shop for the day.
14:09Was he just trying to pump us for information?
14:11I think that's exactly what he was doing.
14:14Could Geoffrey really have been that perfect?
14:17Oh, excuse me.
14:20Hello?
14:23I'm sorry?
14:26Who is this?
14:27You want to know, you're just a try.
14:29Follow the money.
14:31Follow the money.
14:32What money?
14:39Okay, I've spoken to Mr. Truman's neighbours.
14:41No one saw him this morning.
14:42We know he was at the council building at 1pm.
14:44Don't worry, I'll keep digging.
14:46Seneca, we need the number traced.
14:48Alice?
14:49Yep.
14:49Judith's just had a call from a withheld number
14:51saying that if she wanted to find Geoffrey's killer
14:53she had to follow the money.
14:54It was this person.
14:55No idea, his voice was distorted.
14:58Do you mind if we put some software on your phone
14:59in case he calls again?
15:00It would allow us to record him directly.
15:02Yes, of course.
15:03Okay, so the call came in at 5.17pm.
15:05It came from a phone box near Bobbingdon Green.
15:08Get over there, Alice.
15:09Find out if anyone saw who made the call.
15:10On it.
15:11But if we are following the money
15:13what have we got on Mr. Truman's financials?
15:15Not much.
15:16He lived modestly on a mixture of state and private pension.
15:19No credit cards, no debt.
15:21That might mean the council money.
15:23Brendan, contact the council.
15:24Let's get all of their financial records.
15:25All of them?
15:26Going back, let's say, the last five years.
15:31Got to go pick up Shanti.
15:43Alice?
15:44We've got what we can from the phone box,
15:46but it's not much.
15:47No witnesses, no physical evidence.
15:50What about fingerprints?
15:51Well, the phone was wiped clean with a solvent,
15:53as was the door handle.
15:55Okay, finish up there and let's put this up in the morning.
15:58Good work, Alice.
16:03Pickle, what's up?
16:05Nothing.
16:08Sure?
16:09You know, you can tell me or your dad anything.
16:12Is it something at school?
16:16I don't want to talk about it.
16:20Okay.
16:39The doctor says his heart is facing him.
16:41I'm sorry to hear that.
16:43He's going to see you.
16:45He must run back from me now to see him.
16:51We've heard how aconite has earned its many names,
16:54from monkshood in the monastery to wolfsbane in the forest.
16:58But for me, what I can't get over is how a plant so pretty and ornamental
17:05can be so very, very lethal.
17:08But maybe that's just me.
17:10Until next time, happy and above all safe, gardening.
17:15Who could have wanted you dead?
17:20What do you think, Jasper?
17:35Is that all you've got?
17:37One statement and no other credible witnesses?
17:39None of them are really credible.
17:41They're eight-year-old kids.
17:43No, of course.
17:45Sorry.
17:45And I'm not saying that Shanti bullied anyone,
17:48but she is friends with the group of pupils who did.
17:51I'll talk to her.
17:55Sorry.
17:56I've got to take this.
17:59Brendan?
18:01Okay, so the PM's in,
18:03and it's been confirmed that Mr. Truman died
18:05from a lethal dose of aconite.
18:07Do they know how it got into his coffee?
18:08Well, they've checked all the other cups
18:10and tea-making paraphernalia,
18:12and they're all clear of poison.
18:13The only thing that wasn't
18:14was one of the used coffee pots in the machine.
18:16But, get this.
18:18Forensics lifted two sets of fingerprints from the pod.
18:22One was Mr. Truman's.
18:23And the other?
18:24Was Council Secretary Debbie Smith.
18:27And you should know
18:28that according to the witness statements,
18:29she's the only person,
18:31other than Jeffrey,
18:32that ever used a coffee machine.
18:35Okay, bring her in.
18:48I've got this, Lula.
18:50I've got this, Lula.
19:05I still can't believe he was poisoned.
19:07You know that.
19:08I work for Paul Hollenbury,
19:10Sophia's husband.
19:11He told me.
19:13What do you say if I told you
19:14that your fingerprints were found
19:15on the coffee pot that poisoned him?
19:18Well, that's impossible.
19:19How so?
19:21I had a normal coffee.
19:25I think I know what's happened.
19:27When I went to make my coffee,
19:29there was already an old pod
19:31jammed in the slot.
19:33I had to push it through.
19:35If that one was Jeffrey's,
19:36that must be how my fingerprints got on it.
19:39Look,
19:40I arrived after Jeffrey
19:42had made himself his coffee.
19:44What has Alec Miller told you?
19:47Who's Alec Miller?
19:48The person who lays out the teas and coffees
19:50before all the council meetings.
19:51You have spoken to him, haven't you?
19:56I kept hunting last night.
19:58I got drawn into reading the comments
20:00under the council social media posts.
20:03And there was one account,
20:05Marlowe's 1628,
20:06and it is horrible.
20:08Disgusting mayor.
20:09And look what they said here.
20:11Cespit.
20:12Nah, that's out of order.
20:13We've spent all this time
20:15looking for someone who hated Jeffrey.
20:17And here he is.
20:19Although,
20:20it's not only Jeffrey, is it?
20:22I mean, whoever that is,
20:23he hates everyone.
20:26Oh, here she is,
20:27our lady of leisure.
20:28Did you have a nice lie-in?
20:30Me?
20:30Yes, you.
20:32Please tell me you've been having a proper break.
20:34Oh, absolutely.
20:35Yeah.
20:36100%.
20:39Actually,
20:40no, I haven't.
20:42Oh, begs.
20:43I know.
20:44I'm furious with myself.
20:45I sat down to watch telly last night,
20:48and I was all set.
20:49Nice glass of wine,
20:50bar of chocolate.
20:51Love it.
20:52And then I noticed the games cupboard
20:53looked a bit messy.
20:54No, tell me you didn't.
20:56I just thought it would be a quick tidy.
20:57She did.
20:58You know how it goes.
20:59Once that cupboard was tidy,
21:00all the other cupboards looked terrible.
21:02Before I knew it,
21:03I had the marigolds on,
21:04and I was giving the sitting room a once-over.
21:06What an idiot.
21:06You could have at least come round here,
21:08made yourself useful,
21:09and cleared out Judith's stash of old newspapers.
21:11Do you mind?
21:12That's the thing.
21:13It was useful.
21:14Once I'd finished the sitting room,
21:15I moved on to Colin's study.
21:17It seems stupid not to.
21:18Stupid not to.
21:19Well, he's away.
21:20He's needed a deep clean for months,
21:22and I was reordering some old files,
21:23and I found this.
21:25What is it?
21:26Remember how Sophia said
21:27she'd been involved in a muddle
21:28when she was in charge of the graveyard?
21:30Mm-hmm.
21:30Well, I found all these cuttings
21:31and correspondence about it
21:32from 15 years ago.
21:34The parish kept the records.
21:36This wasn't some minor mishap.
21:38Sophia mixed up where people were buried.
21:40It was pretty bad.
21:42The location of one body was never found.
21:44But she's right when she says
21:45Jeffrey's sorted it out.
21:46There's letter after letter
21:47between him and the Bishop of Oxford.
21:50Reading between the lines,
21:51if it wasn't for Jeffrey,
21:52she may have ended up being prosecuted.
21:53Oh.
21:57Oh, it's Tanika.
22:00Hello?
22:01Just a quick update, Judith.
22:02There was possibly a fifth person
22:03at the council meeting.
22:04A man called Alec Miller.
22:05He lives in Marlow Bottom.
22:06We're going to talk to him now.
22:08Should we meet...
22:09Oh.
22:10She's hung up.
22:11It's a bit of a mistake, if you ask me.
22:12She's going to the wrong address.
22:14And you know that?
22:15You know what?
22:15Alec does the teas and coffees
22:17for some of our church
22:17events.
22:18He's got a caravan by Hurley Locke
22:20and he moves to it every summer.
22:22And Tanika's gone to his house
22:23in Marlow Bottom.
22:24You know what I think?
22:25I think we can guess.
22:27It's our civic duty
22:28to help the police
22:29in every way we can.
22:31And sometimes that involves
22:32going to the right address
22:33when they've gone to the wrong one.
22:44The mayor always had a kind word
22:45for everyone.
22:46A lovely man.
22:47It's terrible what's happened to him.
22:49At the hands of Locustor, no less.
22:51At the hands of who?
22:53Emperor Nero
22:53had an infamous assassin
22:55called Locustor
22:56whose weapon of choice
22:58was poison.
22:59You do not fail to live up
23:01to your reputation,
23:02Mrs. Potts.
23:03How do you know
23:04Geoffrey was poison?
23:06Have your tea.
23:08And I'll tell you.
23:25I bumped into Marcus in town.
23:27He told me.
23:28So, if you prepared the tea
23:30and the coffee for the meeting
23:31and you know that Geoffrey was poisoned,
23:33why haven't you spoken to the police?
23:34What would I say?
23:35I wasn't there.
23:37I'm sorry?
23:38I got a phone call
23:39yesterday morning
23:41telling me not to come in.
23:44Hello?
23:45Who is this?
23:45Good morning.
23:46It's Sophia Hollingbury.
23:47She ran and told me
23:48I wasn't needed.
23:49The meeting had been cancelled.
23:52Well, that was a waste of time.
23:56Oh, you're kidding.
23:59So, while we went on
24:00a wild goose chase,
24:02your civilian trio
24:02went to Alec Miller's
24:03summer residence
24:04for a chat.
24:05He's saying that
24:06Sophia Hollingbury
24:07rang him
24:08and told him
24:08not to attend
24:09a council meeting.
24:12Gov?
24:14Oh, sorry.
24:18Shanti's got herself
24:19mixed up in some trouble
24:20at school.
24:21There's been some bullying.
24:23Oh.
24:24Well, that doesn't sound like her.
24:25I don't know what to do.
24:27Um, what?
24:28Talk to her?
24:30Get her to tell you
24:31what happened
24:31in her own words?
24:32You mean like
24:33a witness interview?
24:34Well, isn't everything
24:35in life a bit like
24:35a witness interview?
24:38She's a good kid.
24:40You think?
24:41Yeah, of course.
24:42She's your daughter.
24:50With her number.
24:52Call Tanika.
24:53It could be our mystery
24:54caller again.
24:55How many rings
24:55before it goes to answer phone?
24:56I don't know
24:57seven, eight.
25:02Answer it.
25:05Hello?
25:06Tanika.
25:07X?
25:07How are you for me?
25:08Are you all right?
25:09Judith's mystery caller
25:10is talking to her again.
25:11Alice, run a trace
25:12on the incoming call
25:13to Judith's phone.
25:14On it.
25:16Um, we have.
25:17We haven't found anything.
25:19Not yet.
25:21She needs to keep him talking.
25:22Tell Judith
25:23that she needs
25:23to keep him talking.
25:29Are you talking
25:31about council money?
25:33It would help
25:33if you could be
25:34a bit more specific.
25:35Yes, it's council money.
25:37Um, and
25:38what bit
25:39of the council?
25:41Is it, um,
25:42housing?
25:43No.
25:44No.
25:45Uh, what about
25:46travel and transport?
25:47No.
25:48No, um...
25:50No.
25:53Uh, knitting.
25:54Waste disposal.
25:55No, no, not knitting.
25:56Waste disposal.
25:58Look at the petty cash.
26:00What area
26:01of the petty cash?
26:03Hello?
26:04Are you there?
26:05Ugh, he's gone.
26:07Which part of this
26:08looks like knitting?
26:09What was it?
26:10It's tying up
26:11the dog poo bag
26:12and putting it in the bin.
26:13That's actually
26:14quite good.
26:15Oh, hold on.
26:19Tanika says
26:19the call came
26:20from a phone box
26:21just outside
26:21All Saints
26:21by the gate.
26:23They're going
26:23to check it out.
26:24Well, how long
26:24is that going to
26:25take them?
26:26I reckon
26:26if we're quick
26:27we might catch
26:27a few witnesses.
26:28There's no way
26:29we'll get to
26:30All Saints
26:30fast enough.
26:31Oh, you want to bet?
26:57Remember the
26:58free restrictions.
26:58Not this fast
26:59across the parade.
27:00Judy, I agree
27:00with that.
27:01Not this fast, Judy.
27:01I can do this.
27:02I can do this.
27:05Easy.
27:07Easy.
27:08You've got about
27:09two inches
27:10on this side.
27:12You alright, Bob?
27:14Hello, Susie.
27:18Careful.
27:19I'm doing it.
27:19Careful?
27:21I'm doing it.
27:22One inch.
27:22Oh, this is tight.
27:23I hate
27:24these speed strollers.
27:26Right.
27:27Let's shift it.
27:30murder drive!
27:32Fool!
27:36Oh, boy, give me strength.
27:40Hold on.
27:42Hold on.
27:44Yeah.
27:47Susie?
27:57Sü...
27:58Easy. I told you I'd get us there.
28:03See, if anyone saw anybody use this phone box,
28:06someone must have seen him.
28:08Oh, sir, have you seen anyone use this phone box?
28:11Hello, excuse me, Dad.
28:12Sir, have you seen anyone use this phone box?
28:14No, sorry.
28:28Still nothing?
28:29No sort of thing.
28:30No CCTV, either.
28:33Gov, it's the same as before.
28:35Everything's been wiped clean.
28:36No fingerprints and nothing.
28:38So it's got away.
28:39Again.
28:41Eggs?
28:42What do you know about peregrine falcons?
28:45Brendan, I need your help.
28:50There's a pair of falcons that hatch their chicks every year.
28:53In the spire.
28:55Why are you telling me this?
28:58A local birdwatching society have a webcam pointed at them.
29:03You can watch the nest live, but they record it on a laptop up here.
29:17It's not much higher, is it?
29:19No.
29:21You okay with heights?
29:23I don't love them.
29:25Just don't look down.
29:31It's just a little matter.
29:38Look, it's as I thought.
29:39The webcam picks up more than just the nest.
29:41Oh.
29:42That's cool.
29:44The view?
29:45No, the bird.
29:49Now the call came in at midday or thereabouts.
29:54That's him.
29:55Our mystery caller.
30:02Let's have a look.
30:04Who the hell are you?
30:07Whoa!
30:08Great work, Vex.
30:10Come on, do it up top.
30:11Oh, yeah.
30:12So what happens now?
30:14Well, I imagine the police will try to identify the mystery caller.
30:17Which leaves us three to ask the only question that matters.
30:21Why did Sophia stand Alec down?
30:25And now onto a topic.
30:27I know Vex is a lot of us as we head into the drier months.
30:29Tomo or not Tomo?
30:34Tomo or not Tomo?
30:37And now onto a topic.
30:38I know Vex is a lot of us as we head into the drier months.
30:41Tomo or not Tomo?
30:42I haven't time to be interrupted.
30:45We just wanted to know why you rang Alec Miller yesterday
30:49and told him that the meeting had been cancelled.
30:51Sorry?
30:52What are you talking about?
30:53Are you saying you didn't ring him?
30:54That's exactly what I'm saying.
30:56Then who did?
30:57I don't know.
30:59Either Alec's lying or it was someone pretending to be me.
31:02Either way, I didn't call anybody yesterday.
31:04I don't suppose you know this person?
31:06I don't recognise a no.
31:09Well, the plot thickens.
31:10What are the three of you doing here?
31:12We could ask you the same question.
31:14As it happens, we're meeting to discuss options
31:16for a commemorative bench, would you?
31:21The true son of Marlowe.
31:23Yeah, that's the one I would choose.
31:25None of you know who this is, do you?
31:28Well, I think I do.
31:30Didn't he do your podcast studio, Dave or someone?
31:34Paul hired him to do some work in the office as well.
31:36His name's Dave Butler.
31:38If it's the same person that did your little studio there.
31:46You've identified our mystery caller?
31:48No, it's the victim.
31:49I found him.
31:50I've been checking all of the CCTV footage I could find
31:53near the council building.
31:54So, it's ten minutes before the meeting.
31:57Near the cemetery.
31:58Look.
31:59He's with Terence Clarkson.
32:01And he is not happy.
32:03Good work, Jason.
32:04It's a shame there's no sound.
32:05Wait, hold on.
32:05Who's that?
32:06What is that?
32:07Zoom in a bit?
32:08Hello.
32:10Oh God.
32:11What?
32:12It's Mrs. Ettingham.
32:16Okay, this is it.
32:18Dave Butler.
32:19Great Marlowe IT Services.
32:22Nice spot.
32:28I think I can see your house over there, Judith.
32:30I think you're right.
32:35What do you want?
32:37Dave Butler.
32:41We believe you have some explaining to do.
32:43I was only trying to help.
32:45By making anonymous phone calls.
32:48Why didn't you just ring the police?
32:51I didn't want to get involved.
32:52I was hoping Mrs. Pops would do the work for me.
32:55I think you need to tell us everything you know.
32:58Now.
33:00Okay.
33:01Okay.
33:01But it's not much.
33:03A while back, I saw a spike in how much petty cash the council was spending.
33:08They're published on the council website.
33:10Three thousand pounds last year.
33:11Four thousand this year.
33:13But I couldn't see a reason for the sudden jump in claims.
33:15And you think the extra cash could be connected with Geoffrey's death?
33:19It could be.
33:21He was such a good man.
33:22If he'd discovered anything dodgy, he'd have gone straight to the police.
33:26Maybe that's why he was killed.
33:28To stop him from doing just that.
33:31You say he was a good man.
33:33You knew him?
33:34Years ago, I wanted to be a writer.
33:36I got into a young writer's scheme and Geoffrey was one of the mentors.
33:39He really helped me with the book I was writing.
33:41High Fantasy.
33:42The Warlocks of Wynhaven.
33:44But then my mum died.
33:46I moved to the States to live with my aunt.
33:48Last year, I moved back to Marlow.
33:50That's when I bumped into Geoffrey.
33:51It's you, isn't it?
33:52Dave Butler.
33:54Geoffrey Truman.
33:55We worked together on your Warlock book.
33:57Gosh.
33:58He said he'd try and help me get my book published.
34:01We've been working together ever since.
34:05His ideas are amazing.
34:07On structure.
34:08Character.
34:10Can you prove any of this?
34:12Go to Geoffrey's house.
34:13There's a spare key by the back door, I think.
34:16And you'll find my manuscript in his office.
34:17You'll be able to see how well we've been working together.
34:20Where were you when he died?
34:22I was here.
34:23On my own.
34:24But his death is a disaster for me.
34:27Don't you see that?
34:29It's been my dream to be published my whole life.
34:31And it's not going to happen now.
34:37You're right.
34:38I did see them arguing.
34:40From a bush.
34:41That's really not the point.
34:43It very much sounds like the point to me.
34:44Leslie.
34:45Don't you have some other place to be?
34:48No.
34:49Perhaps if we could focus on what you heard.
34:52I'm not sure if I put the right bins out this morning.
34:56You know it's a blue bin day.
34:58Is it?
34:59I just don't remember.
35:09I remember now.
35:12The younger man was saying the most horrible things to Mr. Truman.
35:16What was the argument about?
35:17I couldn't quite tell.
35:19But I definitely heard Jeffrey saying the other man had handled the situation badly.
35:25He said it a few times.
35:27Whatever it was, he's handled the situation badly.
35:30Really?
35:46Okay, this is the house.
35:51See if you can find the key.
35:54I found it.
35:55What?
35:56It's in the door.
35:57That doesn't feel right.
35:59Let me call Tanika.
36:00Let her know.
36:00And while you do that, why don't we make ourselves useful?
36:10I don't understand.
36:11It's simple, really.
36:12You were seen arguing with Mr. Truman 20 minutes before he died.
36:16It was just a misunderstanding.
36:19About?
36:19I wanted the comments turned off on the council website.
36:24Seriously?
36:25There are nasty people out there and it can get personal.
36:28That's all it was about.
36:29I wanted the comments turned off and he wanted to leave them turned on.
36:35Then why did Jeffrey keep saying that you'd handled the situation badly?
36:39He was just saying I was being aggressive.
36:41Which I was.
36:42And I had to calm down.
36:44At the meeting I tried to apologise.
36:46But he'd already moved on.
36:48That was him all over.
36:49He didn't dwell.
36:50That's all it was.
36:51A minor disagreement and he forgave me.
36:54Who prepared the tea and coffee for the meeting?
36:55I'm sorry?
36:56We're just trying to ascertain who put out the poisoned coffee for Mr. Truman.
37:01Was it Alec Miller?
37:02It wasn't Alec I saw through the window.
37:04There was someone else there?
37:05Who?
37:06I don't know.
37:07I couldn't see through the glass.
37:08I think it was a man.
37:10But they didn't have the build of Alec.
37:12And they had light hair.
37:13Why didn't you mention this in your witness statement?
37:16At the time I thought Jeffrey had died of natural causes.
37:20If you're looking for the person who put the poison in Jeffrey's coffee pot,
37:23I bet it was the person in the kitchen.
37:57I think I found it.
37:58Judith?
38:00I think I found it.
38:11Judith?
38:11Babe was telling the truth.
38:13Jeffrey's really trying to help him.
38:15And he's positive, kind and supportive.
38:17It's like everyone's been saying.
38:18Then why'd he have to die?
38:19There must be some dark secrets in his life.
38:22Everyone has secrets.
38:26Hey!
38:30Oi!
38:32Stop right there!
38:38Oi!
38:39You!
38:40Come back here!
38:43Zenica, you need to come to Jeffrey's house at once.
39:02Oh God!
39:04Come on!
39:05Come on!
39:10Oh, okay.
39:11It's another wall.
39:12We can get over this.
39:14Come on!
39:15Come on!
39:17Yeah!
39:18That's it!
39:19Come on, Susie!
39:20Careful!
39:20Alright!
39:21I'm over!
39:21Yeah!
39:23Yeah!
39:24There he is!
39:25Come on!
39:26Yeah!
39:27Come on!
39:27Let's go!
39:30Ah, it's hard to see!
39:32Oh, yeah!
39:36Come on!
39:39No!
39:39Come back!
39:42No!
39:42No!
39:43I said no more walls!
39:46No, that's not possible!
39:47We can do it!
39:49Are you mad?
39:52No!
39:52I told you!
39:54We can't do it!
39:55No way they can do that!
40:00Judith!
40:02In here!
40:04We lost him!
40:06Did you see who it was?
40:08Oh, we were so close!
40:10But no...
40:11No idea!
40:14What's that?
40:15You know you wanted Geoffrey
40:16To have a dark secret
40:18Stop
40:19Or tell
40:20Everyone
40:23Your secret
