00:03The
00:04The
00:04I don't know.
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 arms, fine.
01:01But the open mouth...
01:02Hey!
01:05You got her pretty quickly.
01:07Oh, please.
01:08That's our prime suspect right there.
01:11Oh, I'm the absolute worst at this.
01:14You were very quiet.
01:15I didn't hear you coming.
01:16It's always the quiet one.
01:18Right, well, oh, I think we've got time to squeeze one more round in.
01:22Oh, God forbid we derail the organised fun schedule.
01:26Freddie, 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.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Yeah.
01:46Oh, my God.
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, Mr. Starling.
02:29One.
02:30Two.
02:32You best get going.
02:33Clock's ticking.
02:34Three.
02:36Four.
02:52All right.
02:55Lights on.
02:58Yes, I thought it was me.
03:00Definitely 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.
03:28No, he's here.
03:32Freddy?
03:34Oh, no.
03:35Get out of here.
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.
06:28Oh, yeah, it was,
06:29but I was already home.
06:31A little more detail would be appreciated.
06:33Inspired by your blossoming relationship
06:36with the good professor.
06:37It's just a friendship.
06:38Yeah, whatever.
06:38I thought I'd dip my toe back in,
06:41and, you know,
06:42it was going really well
06:43for about 20 seconds.
06:45And then this fool
06:46asked me to take my shoes off
06:48before getting into his jag.
06:49No.
06:50He was not for me.
06:52Bex?
06:53Can you come through a minute, please?
07:03No.
07:04These 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
07:22to 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
07:34and more complicated.
07:37If you don't want to stay here,
07:38you're more than welcome
07:39to 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,
08:12but I'm going to need your lanyard back.
08:13You're too close to this one.
08:41Did Freddy ever do anything
08:43that could have led to this?
08:44I mean, Freddy was always at the center of some drama,
08:47from what I gather,
08:47but 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 to be a really long time
09:01to hold on to a grudge, surely?
09:03People can be extremely petty.
09:06Lest we forget,
09:07the Trojan War essentially began
09:09because Paris stole Helen from Menelaus.
09:13Bex,
09:14we're about to start taking statements.
09:16It'd be really useful
09:17if you could give us a bit of background on everyone.
09:18Oh, sure.
09:19Whatever I can do.
09:31Thank you, ladies.
09:32Oh, no.
09:33We'll just go and take a look around.
09:35Don't we, Susie?
09:36Yeah.
09:40I know you're still there.
09:42On our way.
09:42Sorry.
09:47Okay, so 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,
10:10his wife.
10:12I've got a number if you need one.
10:13Don't worry.
10:14We're taking care of all that.
10:16I gather you and Freddie 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 organized it and found this place.
10:34The reunion was her suggestion.
10:36We were here for an hour or so,
10:39I 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,
10:54not an interview.
10:55Correct?
10:56That's correct.
10:57Right.
10:58After lunch,
10:59we 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.
11:20There 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.
11:28He used to throw these incredible parties
11:30when we were at university
11:31and deck out the whole house
11:33with these, uh...
11:35Sorry.
11:36I'm rambling.
11:37Um...
11:37Don't worry.
11:38We're nearly there.
11:40Is there anything else
11:42we should know about today?
11:43Anything out of the ordinary?
11:46Any arguments
11:46or frictions
11:47within the group?
11:49Oh.
11:50No.
11:52Not that I noticed.
11:53No!
11:59Oh.
12:00Stabbed in the back.
12:02What a cowardly way to do it.
12:04I've yet to hear
12:05of a noble way.
12:06Oh, hold on.
12:08Something's not right.
12:08You cannot see a clue
12:10from here, Judith.
12:11No way.
12:12Uh, Jason.
12:14How can I help you,
12:15Mrs. Potts?
12:15Um, the label
12:17on Freddy's jacket.
12:18What brand is it?
12:20Uh, it's a Greyheart.
12:22Oh, my father
12:23had a Greyheart jacket.
12:24Bespoke tailoring.
12:26Savile Row.
12:27Mm, expensive.
12:28Exactly.
12:29But the stitching
12:30on the trousers
12:30is all over the place.
12:31Off the peg,
12:32I reckon.
12:33Thank you, Jason.
12:34You know,
12:35someone like Freddy,
12:36someone who owned
12:37clothes like that,
12:39surely they'd know
12:40that's not how
12:40you pair an outfit.
12:42That's done, corrected.
12:43No fingerprints
12:44on the knife.
12:45Helen thinks
12:45cause of death
12:46is most likely
12:46to be exsanguination.
12:48The blade completely
12:48severed the thoracic aorta,
12:50causing massive
12:50internal bleeding.
12:52He probably died
12:53almost instantly.
12:55Um,
12:57we'd best have it.
12:58Yeah.
12:58I think we should pay
12:59Mr. Freddy Thatcher
13:00Hughes a room of his it.
13:02Hey,
13:03forensics do have to
13:03sweep that room
13:04so whatever
13:05you're scarpering
13:06off to do,
13:07just do it properly.
13:12Can you tell me
13:13where you were
13:14when Freddy was killed?
13:15I was in the
13:16parlour upstairs.
13:17It seemed like
13:18a good place to hide.
13:19Did you see anyone else?
13:21I saw Oscar.
13:22He was on that
13:23top corridor
13:24just before.
13:27It happened.
13:29Oscar was on
13:29the top floor,
13:32but I'm pretty sure
13:33there was someone
13:34outside the library.
13:35Yes,
13:36there was somebody
13:37by the library.
13:38Um,
13:39couldn't tell you,
13:40but, um,
13:41Bex was near.
13:42She might know.
13:43I came straight
13:44downstairs,
13:44but I didn't see
13:45anyone until I
13:46passed Jessica
13:47in the sitting room
13:47doorway.
13:48I just assumed
13:48everyone else
13:49was upstairs
13:49until Bex walked
13:51past.
13:56What do you think?
13:58That it's convenient
13:59everyone's got an alibi
14:00and that they're all
14:00corroborated by each other.
14:16You can't have been
14:17that stylish.
14:18My grandad had a pair
14:19like this
14:19and he used to wear
14:20clogs.
14:21Oh,
14:23sorry.
14:24What's happened?
14:25I've been trying
14:26to hire a builder
14:27for weeks,
14:28but I've been,
14:29I believe the term
14:29is ghosted three times.
14:32Finally,
14:32someone who might
14:33be able to help.
14:34Easier to find
14:35a husband in Marlowe
14:35than it is a builder.
14:36If he's any good,
14:38give me my number.
14:39So you can hire him
14:40or marry him?
14:40Hmm,
14:41time will tell.
14:43The bathroom.
15:06The mystery of the mismatched
15:09outfit is solved.
15:11I've got something.
15:13Come and have a look
15:13at this.
15:19No wood or coal?
15:22No,
15:22just paper.
15:23It looks like...
15:25Somebody's burned a book.
15:30You all gave me
15:31detailed accounts
15:32of the day,
15:32but no mention
15:33of how Freddy
15:33got so muddy
15:34he needed to change clothes.
15:40I'm sorry.
15:42It's just...
15:43There was a small incident
15:45on the way back.
15:46Hey, hey,
15:47I actually...
15:47It was my fault.
15:48I accidentally kicked
15:49some mud up at Freddy.
15:52Are you kidding me?
15:54Oscar said he offered
15:54to 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
16:04with failure!
16:04Freddy, there's trousers!
16:05Look, every part
16:06of 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!
16:11One day the charm
16:12is going to run out
16:12and everyone will see
16:13what you really are.
16:14You're going to go too far,
16:16and you'll regret it.
16:20You told me he shouted.
16:22You didn't tell me
16:23you threatened him.
16:25None of you did.
16:26I just wanted to get
16:27through 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
16:36his biggest fan,
16:37but I didn't hurt him.
16:41Right, and none of you
16:42thought to mention this earlier.
16:43I know how it looks,
16:44but you don't know Oscar
16:46like 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,
16:53but 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 an 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.
17:48You're welcome to join the briefing
17:49tomorrow morning,
17:50but I have rules.
17:51I need you to keep your distance from 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?
18:05Entirely.
18:05We'll see you in the morning.
18:07Bright and early.
18:09Coffee's on us.
18:11Couple of muffins won't go amiss,
18:12either.
18:14Blueberry, please.
18:29Well, no one got in all right 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,
18:40someone has died in most houses.
18:42Your flat is Victorian.
18:43You're 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!
18:51Open!
18:54Open!
18:58Open!
18:59Open!
18:59Open!
19:01Open!
19:01Open!
19:02Open!
19:03Open!
19:04Open!
19:05Open!
19:08Open!
19:08Open!
19:12Open!
19:15Open!
19:17Open!
19:19Let's go back to bed. We're looking to this.
19:21Did you hear the footsteps above?
19:23I was forced to sleep.
19:24You've been through a lot tonight, Mrs. Weaver.
19:26It's an old house with warping doors and faulty locks.
19:29It must happen all the time.
19:31Okay?
19:32Officers check the whole house.
19:34I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
19:37Okay.
19:53First rule of a horror movie.
19:55Never go upstairs.
20:06Oh, damn.
20:11Let's just assume it's mice.
20:14Yeah.
20:16Yeah, I'm going down now.
20:17Let's see if it...
20:18Wait.
20:19Wait.
20:40Oh, good morning.
20:41We've thought about what you said,
20:43and obviously we have a vested interest in this case.
20:45But it just means we're more determined to solve it.
20:48In the right way.
20:50Good.
20:51So, what do we have?
20:52Well, we've informed Marie Thatcher Hughes of her husband's death,
20:56that witnesses placed her in Bath.
20:58According to reports, it sounds like your standard marriage.
21:01Standard marriage?
21:02I never took you for such a romantic, Brendan.
21:06We managed to track down the owner of the house,
21:09Hector Bly, currently on a whiskey tour of the Highlands.
21:13All right for some.
21:14Yeah.
21:14And after the trouser argument, we looked into Oscar Nilsson.
21:18There's not even a parking ticket in his name,
21:20so it seems an unlikely culprit.
21:23Is there any information about further comings and goings from the house?
21:25Now, we checked the motion sensor security lights on the front and back lawn.
21:29The sensors were lost triggered at 5 or 7 p.m.,
21:32which matches the time the group said they returned to the house.
21:34So, no one went in or out after that time?
21:37How's our layout looking?
21:38Oh, well, we've got Freddie Thatcher Hughes' body in the library,
21:44and then Ryan Hill on the first floor,
21:48and then Oscar outside his bedroom on the second floor.
21:53Oh, and then downstairs in the entrance hall,
21:56you've got Jessica Rawlinson and Rebecca Starling.
22:01Yeah, well, don't forget Una.
22:03Yep, Una Weaver in the parlour.
22:06And then there's the mystery figure outside the library,
22:10supposedly seen by two people.
22:12Did anything interesting crop up after we left last night?
22:15Well, it's probably nothing,
22:17but Mrs. Weaver thought she heard footsteps in the attic.
22:20We went to check it out, but there was nothing up there.
22:22You should hear the racket my 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, you hear what you want to hear.
22:36There was no-one else in the house.
22:38All the evidence suggests it's one of the houseguests.
22:40But why risk killing Freddy with so few suspects?
22:44Surely the murderer would know that the investigation
22:46would focus on that small group.
22:48We saw how Freddy was killed.
22:50That wasn't premeditated.
22:52It was opportunistic.
22:55Someone's story isn't adding up.
23:14Morning.
23:17We were just talking about when Freddy decided academia was boring
23:21and he wanted to be a TV presenter instead.
23:23Such a weird couple of months.
23:25Thank God he reconsidered.
23:27He really thought those frosted tips made him look edgy.
23:30Yeah, until he went swimming and the chlorine turned them bright green.
23:37I hate this.
23:39The police pulled my room apart last night.
23:42They're just being thorough.
23:45What do you think happened?
23:47Someone just broke in and did that?
23:51Jesus, if it's wrong time, wrong place, that's hideous.
23:55Well, I'd rather that than the alternative.
24:00How long do you think they'll keep us here?
24:03Maybe you should check in with a colleague.
24:05Someone who specializes in this sort of thing.
24:07Check everything they're asking of us is above board.
24:10Oh, yes.
24:10I'll just reveal to the people I've been working with for the last decade
24:13that I'm involved in a murder case.
24:15I mean, that'll keep the water cooler busy.
24:19I know these officers.
24:20Clearly.
24:21I'm not getting any special treatment, if that's what you're suggesting.
24:24Well, you've folded about Oscar and Freddie's argument pretty quickly.
24:27I bet you've told them who you think is capable of murder.
24:30I really cannot comprehend that anyone in this room could hurt Freddie.
24:33But if anyone can get to the bottom of it, that team can.
24:36We need to do everything we can to help them.
24:40Unless you've got something to hide.
24:42Of course not.
24:43No.
24:44Well, I'm suspect number one if I refuse to play along now, aren't I?
24:54We don't have to put it up.
24:56No, we've got to do this properly.
25:03Oh, it's my builder.
25:04Excuse me.
25:07Hello?
25:07Yes.
25:09Oh, what time?
25:12Oh, I see.
25:12Well, hopefully I will be.
25:17Apparently, he's going to do his best to pop by later.
25:20But he can't guarantee a time.
25:22Or that he'll even turn up.
25:23Well, there'll be no marrying him now, if that's his attitude.
25:28Judith.
25:30Look at this.
25:32There's words visible.
25:34Be.
25:35Am.
25:36Am.
25:39Until.
25:39Oh.
25:42Do you meet?
25:44Anything else?
25:45Oh, wait a minute.
25:50Harker.
25:52It must have been Dracula that they burned in the fireplace.
25:55That's very impressive.
25:56Keanu Reeves films from the 90s.
25:58Basically, my specialist subject.
26:01You are a woman of many talents, Susie Harris.
26:03I think it might be time for us to find out why Freddy had such a strong dislike for gothic
26:10fiction.
26:11I've got the report back on Freddy's phone.
26:13A few snippy messages to colleagues, but nothing warranting murder.
26:16The one thing that did ring alarm bells, ten days before the reunion, Freddy received twelve missed calls, all from
26:22the same number.
26:23We traced it.
26:24Una Weaver's phone.
26:25Right, let's get over there now.
26:27Alice, Jason, keep looking into socials for the suspects.
26:29Gov.
26:29Gov.
26:36I haven't seen these before.
26:37Bex.
26:39Bex.
26:39Their presence.
26:40The police put more there once they'd finish searching.
26:43Advanced copies signed for each of us.
26:46Climbing to the top of the hill.
26:48By Ryan Hill.
26:49He means well.
26:51There's one missing.
26:53Freddy's copy isn't here.
26:54I'm assuming he got the same book.
26:57Yes, there are words.
26:58That'll be Tanika.
26:59This may seem odd, but does Dracula mean anything to you?
27:03He did his PhD in gothic literature.
27:05Maybe there's a connection.
27:07I am not helping them at all.
27:14I'm just doing the dishes.
27:22Well, I know it doesn't sound it after what he said to Oscar, but Freddy lit up a room.
27:29If there was ever anything wrong, he was the first to whisk you off for drinks and dancing
27:34or some sort of adventure.
27:37Being his friend was so fun.
27:41Had you seen him much since you left uni?
27:44Not as much as I'd like.
27:46We went for lunch about five years ago when he was in Coventry for work.
27:49Other than that, it's basically Christmas and birthday messages each year.
27:54If that's the case, why did you repeatedly call him on the 16th?
27:57Hmm.
27:58Twelve missed calls.
27:59All from your number.
28:01I didn't realise it was twelve.
28:06He hadn't replied about whether he was coming, so I thought I'd call just to talk to him,
28:12but I kept going to voicemail.
28:15So you bombarded him?
28:17Hmm?
28:18Why?
28:19If he wasn't here, it wouldn't have been perfect.
28:22Why did it have to be perfect?
28:25I just remembered how much fun we had and how I missed everyone, so...
28:29I decided to throw the reunion.
28:33I know it doesn't look good, but I just wanted Freddy here.
28:37Twelve calls would certainly suggest that.
28:40Is there anything else you 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.
28:50Freddy came looking for matches before we went to lunch.
28:53I didn't even think to ask him why he needed them.
28:55I thought he'd started smoking again.
28:58But I should have asked him.
29:00Shouldn't I?
29:02Things like that never seem significant until afterwards.
29:05But, thank you.
29:07That's all you know.
29:09Yeah, that's everything.
29:18Well, that wasn't entirely convincing, was it?
29:20Mm-hmm.
29:28What's up?
29:31I, uh...
29:32I, uh...
29:33I have to tell you something.
29:41So, Freddy's copy of Ryan's book could be in here somewhere.
29:45Assume so.
29:48Oh, Judith!
29:49You might want to see this.
29:57Times like this, I wish I could lip-read.
30:00Yeah.
30:00Una just pulled me aside, said Jessica was lying.
30:04She said earlier that she hadn't seen Freddy in years.
30:10Yep.
30:11But Una saw a photo of both of them at an alumni event a few months ago.
30:20Got it.
30:22What's she up to?
30:25Oh, yes, Bex!
30:28Colin's sending us the transcript.
30:30It sounds like there might be some incriminating photos of Jessica for us to track down.
30:34Oh, well done, Bex.
30:36And still managing to obey Tanika to the letter.
30:39If Jessica's been lying to the police about her relationship with Freddy, that changes everything.
30:44Right, you keep looking for the book.
30:45I'm going to find these 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, if I was taking it that seriously, I would not be booked into speed dating at the Churchill
31:00Tap this evening.
31:01Sounds like my idea of hell.
31:03Well, if nothing else, you always get a good story.
31:08Oh, yes.
31:10Easy.
31:11I got it.
31:13Oh.
31:16Jessica, may we have a word?
31:19I've already spoken to the police.
31:20If the DI wants to talk again, I'll call a lawyer and we can do this properly.
31:24Very well.
31:26It seems you lied to the police.
31:28And as a legal professional with a reputation to uphold, we thought you might want to handle it discreetly.
31:35But we can always catch DI Mally before she leaves.
31:38Okay, wait.
31:39What are you talking about?
31:39I honestly don't know.
31:41You said you hadn't seen Freddy for years.
31:43But we have photographs that suggest otherwise.
31:45This is you.
31:47Nice dress.
31:49At the Future Leaders event.
31:51And, oh, that's Freddy, isn't it?
31:56I didn't know he was there.
31:58There are hundreds of people.
32:01Any of those photos show us together?
32:04That's not evidence.
32:06And our names aren't on those pictures, which means the only reason you found them is because somebody told you
32:12about them.
32:12You trying to throw me under the bus to shift the blame?
32:15That's not what we...
32:15Why did you lie about it?
32:17The same reason I backed up Oscar.
32:18It doesn't look good, does it?
32:20Nice to know no one will do the same for me.
32:22Someone died.
32:23No one should be backing anyone up.
32:26We're not accusing you of anything.
32:28No.
32:28Well, it doesn't feel that way.
32:34You weren't there, okay?
32:35It was creepy.
32:36I could walk around that place all night.
32:39Pitch black.
32:39It wouldn't bother me at all.
32:41I guess I'm just good at keeping my cool.
32:45It's unprofessional.
32:46It's a place of work.
32:49So, I've spoken to Judith.
32:51Jessica lied about when she last saw Freddy and Una knew about it and hid it from us.
32:54They're our priority.
32:56Let's push, see if they're holding anything else back.
32:59We have a bigger problem.
33:00Found this picture on social media.
33:03And Bec said she barely knew him.
33:10You didn't tell us about Freddy's argument with Oscar and now I learn there's something else you're hiding.
33:14I told you everything I know.
33:16All the truth.
33:17This all looks a bit cosy for someone who said she barely knew him.
33:21Oh, that.
33:23When I came back from Italy, I met Freddy and he asked me out.
33:26But it was nothing.
33:27Really.
33:28We went on two dates.
33:30That was more than enough for me to know that I didn't want a third.
33:33All I learnt was that he's rude to waiters and he loves a Vesper martini.
33:38It was such a long time ago.
33:40You should have said.
33:40I had no intention of withholding anything.
33:43And there's nothing else, I promise.
33:44I just...
33:46didn't think.
33:49Look, I know it's been a stressful day.
33:52And I think it's clear that you didn't have anything to do with Freddy's death.
33:55But that's not going to stop me getting banned from hiring civilian advisors.
34:00Bex, I really thought I could rely on you.
34:03You can.
34:04Of course you can.
34:08Alice.
34:09Hmm?
34:10Check this.
34:12Freddy's credit card statement.
34:14He paid for a hotel room the evening of the alumni event.
34:18Wow.
34:19Maybe it was just a heavy night.
34:20According to his file, he lives on campus with his family.
34:23Why would he need a hotel room?
34:25Unless he was hiding something.
34:26Exactly.
34:27I called the hotel.
34:28And they don't have any CCTV that'll help.
34:30But they said the room was booked for two people.
34:33Freddy took the receipt.
34:34But a second person requested a copy for it later that week.
34:37By email.
34:38The mystery guest?
34:39Could be.
34:40They're going to check in with the council and let me know.
34:42Nice.
34:44It's mainly just some loose paneling.
34:46In here.
34:49This is the main bit I want to fix.
34:53Yeah.
34:53Just here.
34:54You see?
34:55No, 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 has been in my family for over a century.
35:14We've never had damp.
35:15Oh, hidden killer, Mrs. Potts.
35:18Expensive to fix, but essential.
35:20I'm telling you, there is no damp.
35:22Damp.
35:23Damp.
35:24Damp.
35:24Damp.
35:26Ah, see?
35:27Now, that sounds hollow.
35:29It sounds hollow because it is hollow.
35:32It's a cupboard.
35:36You didn't consider that.
35:39Um, I'm sorry.
35:42You have to excuse me.
35:43There are places I need to be.
35:45Well, I haven't finished measuring up yet.
35:46I could just do with that.
35:47Time for that another day.
35:48Are you sure?
35:49Oh, okay.
35:50Oh.
36:01Here we go.
36:05Right.
36:06Same rules apply.
36:07Ladies set tights.
36:08Men rotate on the...
36:10Oh.
36:14Walking dogs.
36:16Top job.
36:17Yeah.
36:19I'm more of a cat person.
36:24They're travelling.
36:26Oh.
36:30So, Glastow 2004 was definitely better.
36:33Yeah, 2011, at its moments.
36:352017, didn't think we'd even get tickets.
36:40Avocados.
36:41No, I'm sorry.
36:51Hello there.
36:52Well, well, well.
36:54I wasn't expecting this.
36:56I just came where I was dragged by a mate.
36:59I was basically forced.
37:01Oh.
37:02As a wingman.
37:03It's just being a supportive friend.
37:06Which friend?
37:08He's just getting a drink.
37:09It's a stove.
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?
37:24Have I got that?
37:25Well, given we've got a murder to solve.
37:28Jessica.
37:30What?
37:31Freddie stayed at a hotel the night of the alumni event.
37:33Jason's just had confirmation that Jessica requested a copy of the hotel receipt.
37:37Oh.
37:38They were having an affair.
37:39Looks that way.
37:40Um, listen.
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 speed dating.
37:51All right, everybody.
37:53Here we go again.
37:56Four.
37:58Five.
38:01Six.
38:06Three.
38:07Four.
38:09Five.
38:11Six.
38:13Seven.
38:23Seven.
38:23What are you doing here?
38:24I have a theory.
38:26Well, currently half a theory.
38:28I can't help you.
38:29If my involvement affected the conviction of Freddie's killer, I'd never forgive myself.
38:33To convict his killer, we have to catch them first.
38:36And for that, I need your help.
38:42So what exactly are we looking for?
38:44Anything that might be something.
38:46There are more windows on the outside of the house than on the inside.
38:50You think part of the house is hidden?
38:52Yes.
38:53And somewhere, there must be a way in.
38:56You say that as though it's the most natural thing in the world.
38:58Well, we used to hide priests.
39:00And the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco had an entire prohibition floor that 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 deliberately holding back information.
39:24But it wasn't like that.
39:26And the group think I'm talking to the police about them.
39:31You've lost one friend.
39:32And it's possible another friend killed him.
39:35You're in an awful position.
39:37You don't have to explain yourself.
39:38I do.
39:39Trying to prove you're innocent is much harder than you'd think.
39:42The more you protest, the more you look guilty.
39:48There are scratches on the floorboards.
39:51Goodness.
39:54Bex?
40:04Look.
40:09This doesn't look like an escape tunnel.
40:12Look.
40:44It's still warm.
40:47We're not alone.
