00:30People say Ferdy Blake's a wild man, but beneath that macho exterior, all I can see is a total charmer.
00:40I never got invited to anything when I was just a dog walker.
00:44I guess this makes us Marlowe VIPs.
00:48What even happens at a book launch?
00:49We'll find out soon enough.
00:51For free? I'd have to take out a second mortgage to afford that place.
00:55Well, the prices are a bit eye-watering. But I do admire his plant-to-plate ethos. Everything locally sourced
01:02wherever possible.
01:03And I admire his rugged good looks.
01:07Shouldn't Bex be here by now?
01:08I said we'd pick her up. She needs rescuing from her monster-in-law.
01:11Ah, yes. The infamous Marion.
01:18Oh, more convenience dinners, Rebecca. You'll need a bigger freezer soon. I hope you got lemons.
01:28In my day, Colin was used to cordon bleu dinners.
01:32Cooked by our au pair, who happened to be French.
01:36Not always, darling.
01:37Look, we're both very busy, so any time you want to help?
01:40Well, I'd love to, but I'm still so fragile since your father passed on.
01:45He's not dead, mother. He's imprinting on sea with a new woman.
01:52He's never been happier.
01:55I need ice, Colin.
01:58What have you got there?
01:59Pan, chef.
02:01I ask for knives. When I ask for knives, I want knives!
02:04Yes, chef. Sorry, chef.
02:08I manage to forage some ground elder and lesser knapweed, but no meadow switch.
02:12I don't like the word no, Amari.
02:16Are you going to explain to our honoured guests
02:18that the garnish is ruined because you just couldn't be bothered?
02:23No, chef.
02:25How many times do I have to tell you all?
02:27In the pursuit of perfection, precision is everything.
02:32Say it!
02:33Precision is everything, chef.
02:41Listen, I'll say this because no one else will.
02:46I hope you're going to be more charming to our guests than you've been to the staff.
02:51You're out of control, Ferdy.
02:53No, you know me, I can turn on when I need to.
03:02Oh, whatever you're selling, we don't want it.
03:05We're here to pick up Bex.
03:08Rebecca?
03:12Gotta go. Church meeting.
03:14What about dinner?
03:16Well, you could surprise Colin with one of your Cordon Bleu feasts, for old time's sake.
03:23Quick, before she comes after me.
03:47Oh, Judith, you've got to try one.
03:51It's Ferdy Blake's signature cocktail.
03:53The devil's breath.
03:55How delightfully botanical.
03:56It's even got a flower in it.
03:58It's in a stertium.
03:59It looks more like a science experiment than a drink.
04:02I think I'll stick to the champagne.
04:04Thanks.
04:05Oh, I love her.
04:16Everyone's ready, chef?
04:19Start the countdown.
04:24Where's my blue steel?
04:45Where's my blue steel?
04:51I think it'll take more than that.
04:53Susie, you've been doing life coaching lessons.
04:56Any strategies that might help?
04:58Judith, I'm only halfway through the course.
05:00But we did learn last week that it is better to identify solutions rather than focus on the problems themselves.
05:07I fear that Marion is a problem without a solution.
05:10Oh, there's always a solution, Bex.
05:12It'll come to you.
05:15Oh, starting.
05:18Excuse me.
05:27Are you okay?
05:28I think I need to get out of here.
05:29And here he is, the man of the moment.
05:31I'll be fine.
05:32You stay.
05:32Mr. Ferdie Blake.
05:38What's going on?
05:39I have no idea.
05:48Where is he?
05:54Where is he?
05:56Ferdie?
05:57Everyone's waiting.
05:59What's happening?
06:00What's happening?
06:08There you are.
06:09Did you hear that scream?
06:11What's going on?
06:13Ferdie Blake's been murdered.
06:56Nobody has been allowed into the area where the body was found.
06:59Forensics?
07:00On their way.
07:01Who found the body?
07:03Isla D'Souza.
07:05Ferdie Blake's ex-wife and sous-chef.
07:07The man with her is Damon Grady.
07:10And he was running the event front of house.
07:12So you're seen now, D.I. Malik.
07:13Thank you, Mum.
07:14Officers are waiting to take your statements, so thank you for your cooperation.
07:17If you want to go over there and you guys...
07:20Oh, here they come.
07:22Inspectors at the feast.
07:23Oh, I had no idea you were familiar with Shakespeare, Brendan.
07:26Well, there's a lot you don't know about me, Mrs. Pops.
07:28Like your secret dating life?
07:30Packs.
07:32Sorry.
07:34Any news on that front?
07:36No.
07:37I'm taking a break.
07:39Yeah, all the women I've met have turned out to be complete nutjobs.
07:43Present company accepted.
07:45Oh, thank you.
07:47I think.
07:48Yeah.
07:51Looks like I'm needed.
07:54Can you explain exactly what happened, Mr. Sousa?
07:57We were all at our stations, ready to go.
08:01Ferdie realised his blue steel knife was missing.
08:03He stormed off to get it.
08:05But when he didn't come back, I went to see what was going on.
08:10That's when I found him.
08:12On the floor.
08:13The knife in his chest.
08:15Was anyone with him?
08:17Cal Merson, the kitchen porter, was at the sink.
08:20Headphones on.
08:21He only turned round when I started screaming.
08:25Where were you at the time, Mr. Grady?
08:28We were all waiting in the dining room for Ferdie's big entrance.
08:31The clock counted down to zero, but he didn't appear.
08:36Then I heard a scream.
08:37I went back of house and saw Isla and Cal with Ferdie's body in the wash area.
08:43And where is he now?
08:45He's in the staff room.
08:47I think he's in shock.
08:49I'll go and talk to him, go.
08:51It's this way.
08:57Forensics have arrived.
09:01Damon Grady said they were all waiting for Ferdie in the dining room.
09:04But he wasn't.
09:06When I went outside, he passed me on his way back in.
09:10Why absent himself at such a critical moment?
09:14And why lie about it?
09:17According to the pathologist, the bleeding's mostly internal.
09:21So no trail, no footprints, but there is a Β£50 note.
09:25Cal Merson's completely shut down.
09:27We're not going to get anything out of him tonight.
09:29Damon Grady's off to take him home.
09:31We'll need to follow up both of them first thing.
09:34Our main focus has to be on the staff.
09:35If anyone else had been in this area, they'd have stuck out like a sore thumb.
09:39Why kill him at such a public event?
09:40On the night that he's the centre of attention.
09:43Maybe they got off on the thrill of being caught?
09:46We all thought they had no choice.
09:47Ferdie Blake had to die tonight.
09:49And why the Β£50 note?
09:51Must be a message of some kind.
09:53Well, whatever the meaning.
09:54The public nature of the murder and the risk our killer took
09:56shows how desperate they were.
10:00So, I walked over here.
10:02Then I saw Damon Grady go back inside.
10:05And that's when you heard the scream?
10:06Yeah.
10:07Sounded like it was coming from the back of the building.
10:08So, I walked round that side to see what was going on.
10:11And that's where you found me.
10:13I suggest we split up and take a closer look around this area.
10:18For what?
10:21I'm not entirely sure.
10:24We've collected all the guest details and sent them home.
10:26The Kitchen Brigade all say they're at their stations at the time of the murder.
10:29According to them, the only people whose whereabouts are counted for
10:32are Damon Grady, Isla D'Souza and Cal Merson.
10:35And there's the kitchen gardener, Amari Joseph.
10:38But they said he left 20 minutes before the murder.
10:40Thanks a lot.
10:58Thanks a lot.lle
11:04D cycling Fotze. Thank
11:050 Hey.
11:06Oh. Time for
11:10me.
11:13Clinica?
11:14Oh, look out. Sherlock strikes again.
11:17This is your last warning. Justice will finally be served.
11:37Hey, Judith. Door's open.
11:40I let Luna out into the garden.
11:42Yeah, that's fine. Bex should be here soon.
11:46Who's been sending you fancy letters?
11:47Oh, it's an old school friend, Matthew Cartwright.
11:50I haven't seen him in years.
11:51He retired early to the south of France,
11:53and it seems his wife died recently,
11:55and he's spending the summer in Marlow.
11:58What's his game, then?
11:59Matthew was always a quiet, unassuming man.
12:03He must be lonely with his wife gone.
12:07Uh-oh. What's Marion done now?
12:08Last night, she took the whole family out
12:11for a champagne dinner at Lugano's.
12:13She's never even bought me a sandwich.
12:15But don't let it get to you.
12:16We'll find a solution.
12:18In the meantime, we have to work out who killed Ferdy Blake.
12:33I know it's hard to believe, but I swear to God,
12:36I didn't see or hear anything.
12:38How is that possible? It happened right behind you.
12:41Because when I'm at work, I wear noise-cancelling headphones.
12:45Play really loud music to shut everything out.
12:48But Isla's scream cut through it all.
12:52Tell us about your relationship with Ferdy Blake.
12:57Tell them the truth, Cal.
13:00You've got nothing to be ashamed of now.
13:04He enjoyed humiliating people who worked for him.
13:08Last night, he tore into Isla for messing up the sauce.
13:12And then Omari for not getting the herbs that he wanted.
13:15And then I overheard him threatening to fire Damon.
13:18Why would anyone put up with it?
13:21Well, the brigade all thought that he was a genius.
13:24Working for him was good for their career.
13:26But for me, well, it was the only job I could get.
13:29Why is that, Mr Merson?
13:34I had some problems with addiction.
13:38I lost my job, the house, everything.
13:44Thank God Nicky managed to get me into rehab.
13:48But after that, I couldn't even get a reference.
13:53So when Ferdy offered to take me on, I was so grateful.
14:00Do you have any idea why we found a Β£50 note on his body?
14:05No.
14:07No, he's a wealthy man.
14:09The kind of money wouldn't have meant much to him.
14:11And what about the threatening letter we found in his car?
14:14Do you know anything about that?
14:15No.
14:16Ferdy was an abusive bully whose behaviour would make anyone want to kill him.
14:21This sounds awful, but I'm glad he's dead.
14:24No, Nicky, she don't mean that.
14:26I mean every word of it.
14:28He went out of his way to torment my husband.
14:31Where were you when it happened, Mrs Merson?
14:33Here.
14:34I called Cal just to check he was coping okay.
14:36Something I always did before service.
14:38It didn't pick up, so I left him a message.
14:41It had all kicked off by then, so I just sent her a text to let her know that I
14:45was okay.
14:48Gov, Brendan and Jason are back at Gastronomy.
14:50The preliminary search of the building is complete.
14:52They want to know our ETA.
14:54Okay.
14:56We'll get that all checked out, but if you remember anything else, hold this number.
15:02I was in no fit state to drive last night, so my car's still at the restaurant.
15:06I don't suppose you'd be able to give us a lift.
15:10Sure.
15:17Found anything?
15:18Just a few faggins and a takeaway box.
15:20Tell you what, I'll be ordering in if I had to eat the nonsense they serve here.
15:23Have you seen the menu?
15:26Sweetbreads and nettle sauce.
15:28Dandelion and mealworm ice cream.
15:30Ice cream.
15:31And the prices.
15:32Talk about Emperor's new clothes.
15:33You're so wrong, Brendan.
15:35But Ferdy Blake was a genius.
15:37Is this a wind-up?
15:38No.
15:39I had a table booked next week.
15:40I've been on the waiting list for months.
15:42I'm absolutely gutted.
15:43You had a lucky escape, mate.
15:45You think trying a different brand of ketchup is being adventurous?
15:48I need to re-educate you.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Good luck with that, mate.
15:55What have you got?
15:57Uh, old takeaway box, neoprene glove, the usual fag ends and cans.
16:02Probably just rubbish, but you never know.
16:04Any progress here?
16:05Forensics say the only prints on the knife were Ferdy Blake's.
16:08Oh.
16:08Did you get any away with Cal Merson?
16:10Only that he overheard the victim threatened to fire Damon Grady.
16:13Oh, well, Mr. Grady's supposed to be here giving us a witness statement.
16:16But he's already over an hour late.
16:17And he's not picking up his phone.
16:19Check out his home address.
16:20Mr. Sousa's in the office, Gov.
16:22And she is refusing to leave.
16:30Hello there.
16:31Sorry to startle you.
16:33We are civilian advisors supporting the police investigation.
16:36Is there anything we can help you with?
16:38No.
16:39Look, I'd lost my car keys.
16:40I must have dropped them on my fag break or something.
16:44What?
16:45Oh, I'm gonna have to...
16:50That was a bit odd.
16:52Very odd indeed.
16:54Let's take a look.
17:01I can't see anything.
17:03Me neither.
17:07But I can.
17:09Those flowers on the ground.
17:12The nasturtiums from the cocktails last night.
17:21There were no guests outside.
17:24So how did they end up here?
17:29You can't continue to work here, Mr. Sousa.
17:31But there's so much to do.
17:33And as you can see, Ferdy was a chaotic mess.
17:37We're very sorry for your loss, but this is still an active crime scene.
17:39I don't need your condolences, D.I. Malick.
17:42I lost Ferdy long before the divorce.
17:45And as you've no doubt gathered, he was an extremely difficult man.
17:50But you carried on working together.
17:51Half the business is mine.
17:53Ferdy was desperate to buy me out, but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.
17:58Not after everything he put me through.
18:00So relations between you were strained?
18:04Well, that's a polite way of putting it.
18:08Ferdy could never love anyone but himself.
18:13If I can't be useful here, I suppose I'd better go home.
18:16A threatening letter was found in Mr. Blake's car.
18:19Do you know anything about that?
18:20No.
18:21Ferdy didn't confide in me about anything.
18:24Is there a safe in here?
18:26In that cupboard, but it's just work stuff.
18:28We'll need the keys to it.
18:29They're just there.
18:36She seems remarkably unaffected by her ex-husband's death.
18:39Yeah, doesn't she?
18:45This would be the perfect escape route for our killer.
18:49Shhh, someone's coming.
18:50Let me know that your job is safe.
18:53But we need to handle this very carefully.
18:57I know.
18:58But the police are still here sticking their noses into everything.
19:02Best if I come to you.
19:03Usual place, five minutes.
19:10What does Isla D'Souza need to handle?
19:14And who is she planning to meet?
19:16We're not going to find out by standing around here, are we?
19:21What have you got so far?
19:23Just restaurant contracts.
19:25Deeds for this place.
19:30Gov?
19:32Look at this.
19:34More threats.
19:36Looks like the same handwriting as the note Judith found.
19:38Get them to forensics.
20:01Lucy!
20:07That's Amari, the kitchen gardener.
20:10I recognise him from the star photograph.
20:13His bio says he runs a foraging course in the woods.
20:19They work together.
20:20So why the secret assignation?
20:24Maybe Amari killed Ferdy as some sort of favour to Isla.
20:28And now they're having some sort of debrief?
20:30Do you think you'd do the same for me?
20:32Turns out Marion didn't pay for dinner.
20:34Colin and I did.
20:36She's convinced Colin she'll pay us back, but she never does.
20:38You've got to help me, Susie.
20:40I did this lecture in week two about removing toxic people from your life.
20:44You need to focus on setting clear boundaries.
20:48Prioritise your wellbeing, then gradually reduce contact.
20:52But how can I do that? She's living in my house.
20:54Yeah, I see your point.
20:57Luna, are you alright girl?
20:59Luna! Luna, come back here now! Luna!
21:10Don't understand it. Luna is not a bolter. And she's got brilliant recall.
21:16Oh! Sounds like she's this way somewhere.
21:20Come on. What about that sign?
21:23What sign?
21:29She's closer. Definitely.
21:32It's okay, girl. We're coming.
21:38It's alright, Luna. I'm coming, girl.
21:41Oi! Stop!
21:42For your sake!
21:45Oh, no. I am so, so sorry.
21:49We'll pay for any damage.
21:51There's no point. It's too late in the season.
21:54Luna! Good girl. Get out. Come on.
21:57She's not normally like this.
21:59Have you got any food stored in here, or in the woods?
22:02Cheese, maybe. Luna loves cheese.
22:05No, nothing like that.
22:07I'm so sorry we've caused you even more upset after last night's terrible events.
22:14We were guests at the book launch.
22:17Must have been a dreadful shock.
22:21I still can't believe it.
22:23You must have worked very closely together.
22:27We did.
22:29The relationship between chef and kitchen gardener was at the heart of gastronomy's menu.
22:33But from what I hear, Mr. Blake could also be quite difficult at times.
22:39Great chefs like him are always perfectionists.
22:42Volatile in the heat of service.
22:45But I rarely saw that side of him.
22:47So, rumours about him being a bit of a monster aren't true?
22:51It was always good to me.
22:53How are the rest of the staff taking it?
22:56I don't know. I haven't seen anyone since it happened.
23:00Please, let me help you with this.
23:01Oh, thank you.
23:02I'd rather be alone.
23:05I'm so sorry.
23:06Luna, we'll go.
23:11Sounds like Ferdy Blake was charismatic, but a nightmare to work with.
23:17A man with more enemies than friends.
23:19We heard that last night he had altercations with Isla D'Souza, Cal Merson, Amari Joseph and Damon Grady.
23:27Any news on the elusive, Mr. Grady?
23:29Well, we went to his house, but no joy.
23:32So I pulled his phone records to see if we can track him down.
23:35What do we have on him?
23:36Background checks show he's an ex-offender on a return to work placement scheme.
23:39He's got form for burglary and fraud, but nothing with violence.
23:42But from what we've heard, Ferdy Blake's behaviour could make anyone turn into a cold-blooded killer.
23:47Mickey Merson would agree.
23:49She called Ferdy an abusive bully, seemed happy he was dead.
23:52Her claim that she spoke to Cal Merson at gastronomy checks out.
23:56Her call came from their home phone, nine minutes after Ferdy Blake's murder.
24:00The Mersons live 30 minutes' drive away.
24:02She couldn't have been there.
24:04What have we got on Isla D'Souza?
24:05There is an interesting clause in their divorce settlement.
24:09If one of them dies, the business automatically reverts to the other party.
24:14So Ferdy's demise was very much to her advantage.
24:16After she left you, we overheard her arranging to meet someone.
24:20It all seemed a bit underhand, so we followed her into the woods.
24:25She told us she was going home. Who did she meet?
24:27Amari Joseph.
24:28Could you hear anything?
24:29No, but we managed to speak to him in the kitchen garden.
24:33He seemed positive about his relationship with Ferdy.
24:36But based on what everyone else says, that seems unlikely.
24:39He also claimed he hadn't seen anyone from gastronomy since the murder,
24:43which we know was a lie.
24:45We need to focus on the message behind the Β£50 note.
24:48It proves the murder was premeditated.
24:52I think you should all see this.
24:53It's just gone live on the tabloid website.
24:58You know how much I love this man, don't you?
25:01Yes, Chef.
25:02And how I've asked you very nicely to take extra special care of him.
25:06Yes, Chef.
25:06Then why haven't you? Look at this.
25:08Sorry, Chef. My mistake won't happen again.
25:10Yeah?
25:13Oh.
25:17Do them again, just to make sure.
25:19We need to work out where that video came from,
25:21and why Amari Joseph is lying about meeting Isla D'Souza.
25:25I reckon it's time we paid both of them a visit.
25:30I've just had the tabloids editor on the phone.
25:32He claims we're putting undue pressure on them to reveal their sources.
25:36We really need that information.
25:37Well, we can keep trying, but the press always dig their heels in.
25:40Which reminds me, remember to get your profile booked in.
25:44Mum.
25:48Are you all right, Tanika?
25:50The Bucks Chronicle are trying to arrange time for an interview.
25:53They want me to talk about my life away from work.
25:56Why would anyone be interested?
25:57Because you're a successful, multitasking woman who's so much more than her job title.
26:03Susie's started a life coaching course.
26:05Seems she's got quite a flair for it.
26:07I ain't been doing it for that long.
26:09I mean, I've still got a lot to learn.
26:12I need all the help we can get.
26:13Oh, go on.
26:14Give it a go.
26:15Well, if you're up for it, I could try.
26:17Yeah, sounds good.
26:19I'd better go.
26:19Alice is waiting.
26:22I suppose that leaves us with Damon.
26:26If he's an ex-offender, he might be avoiding the police out of fear or lack of trust.
26:31Or because he's guilty as hell.
26:33Well, either way, maybe we'll have more luck talking to him.
26:37Who was the last person to see him?
26:39Oh, Cal Merson.
26:40Damon gave him a lift home last night.
26:42So they must be good friends if Damon's the person Cal turned to in his hour of need.
26:46Oh, yes.
26:48Shall we?
26:57Mr. Joseph.
26:59DS Perry.
27:02How can I help you?
27:03We've been asked to search the gastronomy estate.
27:09I've already told you everything I know.
27:12Not quite.
27:13A clause in your divorce agreement has come to our attention.
27:15And I quote,
27:16Ownership of the business automatically reverts to the other partner upon death.
27:21This gives you motive.
27:23Might you tell us?
27:24Because it's none of your business.
27:26You already stated that relations between you and the victim were strained.
27:29And now it's clear you had a lot to gain from his death.
27:31As he would from mine.
27:35But I didn't kill him.
27:39Let's talk about your relationship with Amari Joseph.
27:41What relationship?
27:42He's just an employee.
27:44When's the last time you spoke to him?
27:46This morning.
27:47After I seen you.
27:48You told us you were going home.
27:49I changed my mind.
27:52I knew he'd be worried about his future.
27:55I went to tell him his job was safe.
27:57That when we're able to reopen, he would still be a part of it.
28:02I've spent years building the gastronomy brand.
28:05I refuse to let it die along with Ferdy.
28:16Good morning, Mr Merson.
28:18Just thought we'd follow up and see how you're doing.
28:21Must have been pretty traumatic being there when it happened and not seeing anything.
28:28Was, yeah.
28:29I was hoping he might take my mind off it.
28:30Going through all this old stuff.
28:33Need to make a fresh start.
28:35There was one thing you might be able to help us with.
28:37The police are looking for Damon Grady.
28:40We believe he dropped you home last night.
28:42There's no way he was involved.
28:44Damon wouldn't hurt anyone.
28:45I'm sure you're right.
28:46But we know he's been in trouble before and he has questions to answer.
28:52If he keeps hiding from the police, then he might breach the conditions of his release.
28:58If Damon needs to clear his head, he goes fishing on the river.
29:01Down near Hamptons Marina.
29:16I'm pretty sure that's him.
29:19It's going to take ages to walk all the way around to him.
29:32Are you sure you don't need some sort of qualification to take this out?
29:36Not any idiot can hire one.
29:38It's the equivalent of a bumper car on water.
29:40Just go using the bumps, Bex.
29:42I'm being a bit queasy.
29:45Mr. Grady.
29:47What are you lot doing over here?
29:49The police are trying to contact you.
29:53Bex?
29:54Just give me a second.
29:55You agreed to meet them at the restaurant this evening.
29:57Yeah, well, I had stuff to do, didn't I?
30:01Oh.
30:04Looks like it.
30:05Come on, mate.
30:06What's going on?
30:07What are you doing?
30:08I'm trying my best.
30:09Take it gently, Bex.
30:11Hold on.
30:12You do know that if you push the lever up, you'll put it in neutral?
30:19Look.
30:20Whatever I say, the police won't believe me.
30:23So what's the point?
30:24Why should they believe you?
30:26You've already lied to them.
30:27You said you were front of house when Ferdy Blake was murdered.
30:30But I saw you walk back in just after it happened.
30:33Well, I needed some air.
30:35Doesn't mean I topped him, does it?
30:36You must have felt like it sometimes.
30:38No.
30:39Never.
30:40So his rants never got to you?
30:41They got to everyone else?
30:43I've dealt with far worse than Ferdy inside.
30:45It was water for ducks back.
30:47We heard he threatened to fire you last night.
30:49What was that about?
30:50It was just Ferdy being Ferdy.
30:52Five minutes later, he'd be fine.
30:54But five minutes later, he was dead.
30:58I'm sorry.
30:59I can't help you.
31:00You need to talk to the police, Damon.
31:02You have my word they'll give you a fair hearing.
31:05Just leave it.
31:10Oh.
31:19Almost done, Mr. Joseph.
31:21If there's anything I can help you with, let me know.
31:23Well, we need you to account for your movements from yesterday evening.
31:27I delivered some produce to the kitchen and then came back here.
31:31That's it.
31:31And you haven't seen anyone from gastronomy since the murder?
31:34No.
31:34No one.
31:37You sure about that?
31:39Because we have some witnesses that saw you earlier today.
31:43With Isla D'Souza.
31:46Oh, yes.
31:47I forgot.
31:47I just bumped into her.
31:50In the middle of the woods.
31:53Ferdy Blake was receiving a series of threatening notes and earlier today someone uploaded a video online that wasn't very
32:02flattering to say the least.
32:03We reckon the person behind it worked for gastronomy.
32:06Any idea who that might be?
32:10Sorry, I can't help but keep myself to myself.
32:15My number.
32:17In case there's anything else you've forgotten.
32:24Alice.
32:26Look at this.
32:28Turns out Amari changed his surname from Laurent to Joseph just before he started work at gastronomy.
32:33Why would he do that?
32:48Any news about your old boyfriend?
32:50Matthew was never a boyfriend.
32:52Who's Matthew?
32:53Some rich bloke from the south of France who's coming all the way to Marlow to see Judith, even though
32:58she's already got the professor on the go.
32:59I do not have anyone on the go.
33:01And we're not here to discuss the complications of my private life.
33:04We're here to talk about the case.
33:06I like talking about your complications.
33:09No millionaires ever turn up on my doorstep.
33:13Oh, it's from Brendan.
33:15Damon is at the station now.
33:16It seems our bankside intervention got through to him.
33:21So these are our key suspects.
33:25Damon's been hiding from the police.
33:27Isla's been in secret conversations with Omari, and the video demonstrates the extreme bullying Cal had to endure.
33:35So they all had a motive.
33:37And they all had opportunity.
33:39I think it's time for some thinking outside the box.
33:47Go.
33:48Well, what did Mr. Grady have to say for himself?
33:51Well, he apologized for giving us the run around.
33:53Claimed that he freaked out because of his past record.
33:56Thought we'd assume he'd done it.
33:58And he point-blank denied any involvement in the murder of Ferdy Blake or the videos.
34:02Do you believe him?
34:03Without any evidence, we have no choice for now.
34:06I did some digging into Omari Joseph, formerly known as Omari LaRonde.
34:10Jackson LaRonde worked with Ferdy Blake at his first restaurant, Synthesis.
34:14Turns out, he's Omari's dad.
34:16Is he now?
34:18What do we know about him?
34:19Only that he left under a cloud.
34:20But that's got to be more than a coincidence, surely.
34:23Great work, Jason. Keep digging.
34:24What about the threatening letters, Alas?
34:26We got the report back from the forensic document examiner.
34:29There were no fingerprints, but they did find a hair.
34:39Why'd you tell those women where I was?
34:41Because you not talking to police was making things worse.
34:43But you can end up back inside.
34:45Look, from now on, we keep our heads down and our mouths shut.
34:48Got it?
34:49Are you coming or not?
35:05Are you sure we really have time for this, Judith?
35:08Croquet requires extreme concentration,
35:11which allows the creative part of the brain to roam free.
35:14At the end of the day, it's just hitting a ball through a hoop.
35:19Oh, it's far more than that, Susie.
35:22Croquet is about outsmarting your opponent at every turn.
35:27It's a strategy we employ every time we solve the case.
35:31But when everyone has means, motive and opportunity,
35:37how do we get to the truth?
35:39Luna definitely picked up a scent in Amari's garden.
35:42But if it wasn't cheese, what was it?
35:47The croquet is doing its job.
35:49You're thinking outside the box.
35:50Before Iqbal had her, Luna was selected for training
35:54as an airport sniffer doc.
35:56But she couldn't handle the engine noise.
35:58We found her in the kitchen garden,
36:00but the scent that she originally followed was in the woods.
36:05It's from Tanika.
36:07A hair found on the threatening notes
36:09has been identified as a boar bristle.
36:16Luna was trying to tell us something.
36:18Yeah, but what?
36:20I don't get it.
36:22But the answer to this puzzle lies somewhere in those woods.
36:28Right.
36:33I win.
36:35I'll see you tomorrow morning.
36:37Not for a rematch, please.
36:38Wear outdoor clothes and bring Luna.
36:40We're going foraging.
37:07We're going foraging.
37:10You're going for it.
37:10I wonder why your visit was imminent.
37:12I'm a man of impulse, Judith.
37:14When I want something, I go for it.
37:18Hence the remarkable success of my business ventures.
37:22The thing is, Matthew, I was just about to leave.
37:25well can't you get out of it i want to see as much of you as i possibly can starting
37:32now
37:37girl ferdy blake's bank records flag up something interesting regular withdrawals of large amounts

37:47pinned to his body could do and no one uses cash anymore unless it's for something dodgy
