00:05Dear Hortense, my boyfriend snores and I haven't got a good night to sleep in the morning.
00:08Dear Hortense, I've got a problem with my mother-in-law, or should I say...
00:13Dear Hortense, how can I get my son to sleep?
00:15Dear Hortense, dear Hortense...
00:17Dear Hortense, dear Hortense...
00:18Should I get to talk to you?
00:20I don't know.
00:20We'll talk to you.
00:24Time to not under attack, you damn thing.
00:34Today's letter's for you, ma'am.
00:39Merci, dear.
00:46Dear desperate daughter-in-law, may I suggest an alternative course of action?
00:53Divorce your wetters, but... and kill two birds with one stone.
00:57Dear Peeping Peter, I sense this neighbor is keen for you to notice me.
01:05So bake some chicken colombo and take it over there without delay.
01:10Bonne chance.
01:13Today's letter's for you, ma'am.
01:15Ah-ah.
01:15Merci, Kim.
01:33Oh look, nice.
01:39Add an update to Adrienne there.
01:41Hello.
01:42Town.
01:45How are you?
01:50Commissioner, thanks for coming.
01:53Catherine, what a picture.
01:56Like a young Grace Kelly.
01:58You do exaggerate, Mr. Boussaint.
02:01Merely appreciative of beauty when I see it.
02:03I've been meaning to thank you.
02:05Without your admirable journalism,
02:08a community initiative wouldn't have happened.
02:12Thanks, we just said that.
02:14For a chance, our guest of honor.
02:18Simply stunning, like a young Grace Kelly.
02:23It all looks wonderful, Anton.
02:25Only what you deserve for your dedicated service to this island.
02:29One last favor, simply.
02:31I want to change my final column to this one.
02:35It's already gone to press, I'm afraid.
02:37Oh, don't be afraid.
02:38Just make it happen.
02:40Oh, come on, Bernie.
02:43Do 24 years of marriage.
02:46Come for nothing.
02:58After 30 years solving this island's problems,
03:02our beloved Agony Aunt is retiring.
03:06And so, please, put your hands together
03:08to show your gratitude for this wonderful woman.
03:17Thank you to all of you, my esteemed readers,
03:22for entrusting me with this precious task for so many years.
03:27But now I'm looking forward to spending more time with my daughter Esme.
03:40Let's see if for the first time in his life
03:44that imbecile is true to his word.
04:02Good morning, Esme.
04:03How was the party?
04:05Good item.
04:06Me at her.
04:08That's weird.
04:11Maman?
04:14Maman?
04:18Maman?
04:24Maman?
04:26We done?
04:2815 more minutes.
04:31Right.
04:32Are we going to talk about anything today?
04:41Um...
04:43No.
04:47Well...
04:49No.
04:57Yes, Thomas?
05:01It's work.
05:07Oh.
05:08So I take it therapy's going well, then?
05:12Um...
05:13I mean...
05:14Sitting in front of a total stranger,
05:17talking about feelings,
05:18it's just not for me, you know?
05:20But you were kidnapped
05:21by your own brother, sir.
05:23Almost killed.
05:24Look, I'm here now, aren't I?
05:26The best thing for me to do is just
05:28forget it ever happened.
05:30Sounds healthy.
05:31Look, I'm English.
05:32Yeah?
05:33That's what we do.
05:38The deceased is Hortense Leroux.
05:41She writes an agony aunt column for the local paper.
05:44Agony aunt?
05:45That's a blast from the past.
05:48Good morning, boss.
05:49Sorry.
05:50Paramedic say Madam Leroux was poisoned.
05:53Who found her?
05:54Her daughter Esme,
05:55who had plans to go on a walk with her mother,
05:57and the housekeeper, Kim Woods,
05:59who was just starting her shift.
06:01This way.
06:03So, the victim,
06:05she has a few tiny red spots on her finger,
06:09which leads me to believe
06:11that the poison came from something she touched.
06:15So,
06:16she sat down for breakfast,
06:19boiled egg and toast,
06:21read her column
06:22where someone writes in about
06:25a friend's betrayal,
06:27and dear Hortense replies with
06:30avoiding revenge.
06:32Let sleeping dogs lie.
06:34So, if she was retiring,
06:36this would be her last column?
06:38Tragic coincidence?
06:40Tragic, certainly.
06:42Coincidence,
06:43not so much.
06:44Does this look discolored to you?
06:51You think the poison is on the paper?
06:53Possibly.
06:54Where did this come from?
06:55We'll check with the housekeeper.
07:06Egg and soldiers.
07:08In the Breakfast Hall of Fame.
07:09That's right up there.
07:11Dipping a piece of buttered toast
07:12into a gooey yellow egg.
07:14Heaven.
07:15You're fine, sir.
07:29This egg's harder than Vinnie Jones.
07:31Dipping a soldier into that
07:32would be impossible.
07:38Sir,
07:39normally when you spot a detail,
07:41I think,
07:41my lord, man,
07:42you will definitely come back to this.
07:44But right now,
07:45I'm kind of struggling
07:46how this could possibly be relevant.
07:50Everything's relevant,
07:51Officer Robs.
08:03And the paper was delivered every day?
08:06By a boy called Clayton Powell.
08:08Can you get a hold of him, please?
08:11Esme.
08:13It's terrible, terrible news.
08:16Anton Bozet,
08:17editor of the San Marie News
08:19and Hortense's ex-husband.
08:21D.I. Wilson.
08:22I've heard a lot about you.
08:24So,
08:25what's the latest?
08:26Well,
08:27we're working on the theory
08:27that Miss Leroux was poisoned.
08:29What?
08:30Deliberately.
08:31How could anyone
08:32do that to her?
08:34She was truly adored.
08:36So,
08:36how did she seem
08:37recently?
08:38Anything out the ordinary?
08:40Well,
08:40she had mixed feelings
08:41about retiring,
08:42naturally.
08:44There was something
08:45at the party.
08:46I want to change
08:48my final column
08:49to this one.
08:50Do you know why?
08:52No.
08:52Can we see
08:53the original letter?
08:54They'll be in her study.
08:56Okay,
08:56so,
08:57talk me through
08:58her morning routine,
08:59please.
08:59Well,
09:00she was up with the lark,
09:01made breakfast.
09:02Boiled egg and soldiers,
09:03yeah?
09:04Clayton would deliver
09:05the paper,
09:06then she would like
09:07to read her column
09:08over breakfast.
09:09And the egg,
09:10how long did she cook it for?
09:12Oh,
09:13I'm not sure.
09:15Do you know,
09:16love?
09:16Dreaming it,
09:17Sussel?
09:18She liked it
09:19to be perfect.
09:20Yeah.
09:20That's who she was.
09:21Deep breaths,
09:22darling,
09:22deep breaths.
09:24Here you are,
09:25Esme.
09:26Look here,
09:27Inspector,
09:27why the focus
09:28on eggs?
09:30Can I suggest
09:30that you concentrate
09:31on what is
09:32actually important?
09:33Finding the person
09:34who did this.
09:35I'm merely trying
09:36to establish the facts,
09:37Mr. Bousset.
09:38I mean,
09:38as a journalist,
09:39it surprises me
09:40you don't appreciate that.
09:46I'm sorry,
09:47the little man
09:47doesn't like strangers.
09:49Sensible chap.
09:56She really liked purple.
10:04So what's with the egg thing?
10:07Look,
10:09Hortense was the sort of woman
10:10who liked everything
10:11just so,
10:12right?
10:12Even down to how
10:13she set out her breakfast.
10:15People are funny,
10:16aren't they?
10:17Yes,
10:18people are.
10:19It's still bothering me
10:20why that egg
10:21was hard-boiled.
10:23Maybe she got distracted,
10:25overcooked it.
10:26She had an egg timer
10:27which she clearly used.
10:28And even if she had
10:29overcooked it,
10:30she could have made
10:31another one.
10:33Now you say it,
10:34it is a little odd.
10:37You know,
10:37I used to think
10:37these letters were fake,
10:39but people
10:40actually write in
10:41with their problems.
10:42And according
10:43to the housekeeper,
10:45she replied
10:45to every single one
10:46felt like it was her duty.
10:50Whoa!
10:54Seems she kept
10:55every single letter
10:56as well.
10:57This is the letter
10:58she wanted to publish
10:59last minute.
11:00Dear Hortense,
11:01I've suffered
11:02a great betrayal
11:03by a friend.
11:04Well,
11:05that's different.
11:06What is?
11:06All these other letters
11:08are signed anonymously,
11:09but this one
11:10is signed
11:11by Sophie Martin.
11:13So Sophie Martin
11:14wanted her friend
11:15to know she'd
11:16written this letter.
11:18Why?
11:19To send a message?
11:21Or a warning.
11:31OK,
11:32so
11:32that's Clayton
11:33and here's the tea.
11:34He picked up the papers
11:35from Mr. Purdy's
11:36newsagent
11:37at 7 a.m.
11:38There are various papers
11:39in the stack,
11:40the St. Marie News
11:41only being one of them.
11:42He then cycled
11:44straight here,
11:45delivered the newspaper
11:45to Madame LaRue
11:46at 7.15 a.m.
11:50And did he actually
11:51see her pick it up?
11:52He did,
11:52just like always.
11:54I mean,
11:54now she came inside
11:55and sat at the dinner table
11:57to read the paper.
11:58Do we know
11:59how many St. Marie News
12:00were in his stack?
12:01He said six
12:02and none of the other people
12:03who get the paper
12:04are ill.
12:06But if so,
12:07assuming it was
12:08a targeted attack,
12:09how did he get
12:10the one poison newspaper
12:11to all its ends?
12:12Maybe they intercepted
12:14Clayton on the way
12:14knowing he'd be coming
12:16to Madame LaRue's house first.
12:18Clayton swears
12:19he did not meet
12:20anyone on route.
12:21The only thing of note,
12:23his bike had a bust up
12:24with a pothole
12:24and all his papers
12:25fell out his back.
12:27But even if the killer
12:28had poisoned
12:29the first paper
12:30in the stack,
12:31they're all jumbled up
12:32now, right?
12:33Which means
12:34they couldn't guarantee
12:35that the poisoned paper
12:37would get to Madame LaRue.
12:40A one in six chance.
12:42Don't like the sound
12:43of those odds.
12:44Do you?
12:53Hortense LaRue,
12:55St. Marie's
12:55favourite agony art.
12:57Poisoned, apparently,
12:58by her own column.
12:59So,
13:00who would want
13:00to murder her?
13:02Other meddling
13:02in people's lives
13:03would make you
13:04some enemies.
13:05I read that
13:06she moved from Paris
13:07to St. Marie
13:0830 years ago
13:09with her baby daughter,
13:11Esme.
13:11Anton Busset,
13:13Esme's stepfather.
13:15They met in 1996
13:17when she started her column
13:18at the St. Marie News.
13:20Then there's this.
13:22Now, why would
13:23all tens be so keen
13:24to publish it?
13:25It was posted
13:26on St. Marie,
13:27so likely
13:27the author lives here.
13:29So,
13:29our priority,
13:31find
13:33Sophie
13:34Martin.
13:36Copy that, sir.
13:38There were letters
13:38at the house.
13:39Looks like she kept them all.
13:41Might be worth
13:41checking those two?
13:43Yes,
13:43where would you put
13:44that on the priority list?
13:46I'm thinking maybe
13:47three or four.
13:50We've got it, Sarge.
13:51Soon as we check
13:51through the victim's form.
13:53Can't help feeling
13:54Sophie is key
13:55to all of this.
13:56Making progress
13:57already?
13:58Oh, Commissioner,
13:59well, you know,
14:00it's early days.
14:02Madame LaRue
14:02was highly regarded.
14:05Only last night,
14:06Catherine and I
14:06attended a retirement party.
14:08As such,
14:09the island will be watching
14:10our investigation
14:11keenly.
14:13Ah,
14:14excellent.
14:15I'm assuming
14:16you've met
14:16Anton Bousset.
14:18We've had the pleasure.
14:20He won't miss
14:21an opportunity
14:22to put pressure
14:23on us.
14:24Or rather,
14:25me.
14:26Let me know
14:27when you're
14:28ready to talk.
14:30so let's
14:32keep things
14:32as professional
14:33as we can.
14:34Of course.
14:36The I will see
14:37a word.
14:45How are the
14:46counseling sessions
14:47going?
14:47Oh,
14:48um,
14:49extremely useful.
14:51Yeah,
14:51we're really getting
14:51to the
14:52heart of the matter.
14:54Is that so?
14:55Hmm.
14:56What I've heard
14:57is directly
14:58to the contrary.
15:00You haven't
15:01said a word.
15:02I thought that
15:03was confidential.
15:04Inspector,
15:06take it seriously.
15:08Look,
15:08I'm just not
15:09into the whole
15:10going over
15:11the past stuff.
15:12The effects
15:13of trauma
15:13don't just
15:14magically go away.
15:16You've got to
15:16work through it.
15:19I know
15:19because I did.
15:25You had therapy.
15:26And like you,
15:27I had dogs.
15:30Men of my age,
15:31we eat them too.
15:32Black-owned with things too.
15:35Give in to it,
15:36Inspector.
15:38You may be surprised.
15:41Okay.
15:43Well,
15:43I assure you,
15:44I am
15:45completely,
15:46totally,
15:48100%
15:49fine.
16:00We've got
16:01a situation.
16:02What have we got?
16:04Sorry.
16:26Working overtime, mate.
16:28Any leads?
16:33What have we got?
17:08Morning, campers.
17:10Gather round.
17:11I have a breakthrough.
17:17Right.
17:18So,
17:19this stamp
17:20was conveniently hidden
17:21beneath this
17:22St. Marie stamp.
17:23The original stamp
17:24is from France.
17:26Hmm.
17:28So what does that mean?
17:29That it was posted
17:30from somewhere else first?
17:31Maybe Sophie
17:32meant to post it
17:32from somewhere else
17:33but didn't
17:34for some reason
17:34then brought it
17:35to St. Marie to post.
17:36Why?
17:36Who knows?
17:37My stamp man
17:38in Kentish town
17:38is on the case.
17:39And he's going to...
17:39And three.
17:43You alright, sir?
17:44Yeah.
17:45Why?
17:45You seem a little
17:47energetic.
17:48Oh,
17:49that's the coffee.
17:50I've had three already.
17:52That's my fourth.
17:53Bad night?
17:55Uh,
17:55no.
17:56I was just up
17:57looking into this.
17:59Any update
17:59on Sophie's whereabouts?
18:01None on the island
18:02and no mention
18:02in the victim's contacts either.
18:05Post-mortem's in.
18:07Hortense was poisoned
18:09as we thought.
18:10Contact poison.
18:11Cone snail venom,
18:13in fact.
18:14Cone snail?
18:15That's new.
18:16Yeah,
18:16I mean,
18:16they live in the shallow waters
18:17around here.
18:18I mean,
18:18you're worried about them
18:19as a kid.
18:19If it's in a cone,
18:21leave it alone.
18:22The toxin
18:23paralyzes the victim first,
18:25then they die
18:25a painful death.
18:28Nice.
18:29So,
18:30whoever did this
18:31wanted or tends to suffer.
18:33It says here
18:34that the poison
18:34was only on page 35
18:36of the newspaper,
18:37which means
18:38we're looking at
18:38one hell of a gambler.
18:40Somehow poison
18:40one page
18:41in one paper
18:43of a pack of six.
18:44Then pray
18:45to the gods of vengeance
18:46that that paper
18:46is delivered
18:47to its victim.
18:48Risky as anything.
18:49It's more than risky.
18:50It's almost impossible.
18:52Did Hortense
18:52touch anything else?
18:53Lab's still testing.
18:55They'll get back
18:55to us tomorrow.
18:56In the meantime,
18:57Officer Rose and I
18:58have been working
18:58on something.
18:59Yes,
19:00the daughter.
19:01Esme,
19:02totally bankrolled
19:03by her mummy.
19:04She's never had a job.
19:05She just gets
19:06her big juicy allowance
19:07every month
19:07and,
19:08I mean,
19:09she's living her life.
19:10Well,
19:10it seems Esme
19:11might have disagreed.
19:12She'd applied
19:13for a job
19:13at a publisher's
19:14in Barbados.
19:15Then,
19:16plot twist,
19:17we find
19:18emails
19:19from Hortense
19:21to the managing director
19:22saying Esme
19:23was not fit to work
19:24and that she would
19:26sue them
19:26if her daughter
19:27had a breakdown.
19:28They took back
19:29the job offer
19:29pretty quickly
19:30after that.
19:32so mummy blew her chances
19:33of a promising career.
19:43Must have been a blow.
19:45She was right.
19:46I wouldn't have coped.
19:48Real life and me
19:49somehow never work,
19:50so...
19:50What made you apply
19:51for the job then?
19:52Anton encouraged me.
19:54He helps me
19:54with all start settings.
19:57Can't help noticing
19:58you're wearing
19:58the same clothes
19:59as yesterday.
20:00Late night,
20:01was it?
20:02My mum just died.
20:04I'm allowed to grieve.
20:05Of course you are.
20:08Look,
20:09what do you want
20:09from me?
20:10You're 31,
20:11never been anywhere,
20:12everything you own,
20:13all paid for
20:13by your mother.
20:14It's unusual.
20:15Some might say
20:17a little controlling.
20:18She wasn't.
20:19She loved me.
20:21People get away
20:21with a lot
20:22under that label.
20:24Papillon.
20:25Papillon.
20:26Come away from there.
20:31Needs to be careful
20:31of those cone snails.
20:33I hear they're deadly.
20:34My mum was always
20:35paranoid he gets stoned.
20:37Liked to keep them drawers.
20:39A bit like you then.
20:40Please stop this.
20:41A bright new future.
20:42Suddenly,
20:43snatched,
20:43no,
20:44stolen away
20:44by your meddling mother.
20:45That would have
20:46made me angry.
20:46Would that have
20:47made you angry,
20:47DS Thomas?
20:48Definitely.
20:49Maybe the anger
20:49got too much.
20:50Maybe one day
20:50you just snapped.
20:51No.
20:52That's not true.
20:58We'll be in touch.
21:03Never underestimate
21:04the quiet ones.
21:10All right, mate.
21:11What you got?
21:13For real?
21:22Curious and curious,
21:23as they say.
21:24The cloche de Saint-Azure,
21:26pardon my accent,
21:27was printed in Paris
21:2830 years ago.
21:29Does that mean
21:30that this letter
21:31is also 30 years old?
21:33We can only assume so.
21:34But if that's the case,
21:35why would Sophie Martin
21:37wait to send us now?
21:38Maybe she knew
21:40Hortense was retiring
21:41and this was her last chance?
21:42Well, look,
21:43for any Sophie Martins
21:44who lived in Paris
21:4530 years ago.
21:46Yeah, keep me posted.
21:47Any news from the lad?
21:48No poison found
21:49on anything else
21:50she could have touched.
21:51So this newspaper
21:52was definitely
21:53the murder weapon?
21:53It looks like it.
21:55Something interesting,
21:56though.
21:57No fingerprints
21:58found on Hortense's
21:59glasses,
22:00wiped clean.
22:01Hmm.
22:02What would that be?
22:04Right,
22:05until we know
22:06who Sophie Martin is,
22:07let's look for anyone
22:07with a motive, yeah?
22:09I found something
22:09on the victim's phone,
22:11in the trash.
22:12Like my uncle,
22:13little Terrence
22:14always says,
22:14one man's trash
22:15is another man's treasure.
22:17Yes, we know.
22:17Get on with it,
22:18Officer Rose.
22:19Sir!
22:19Sorry.
22:22Go on.
22:23Some anonymous text
22:24going back
22:25three weeks ago.
22:26You'll get what's
22:27coming to you.
22:28You don't deserve to live.
22:29And then just before
22:30our retirement party,
22:31wear the amethyst earrings.
22:33They bring out your eyes.
22:35Someone was out for blood.
22:36But who?
22:38A reader with a grudge,
22:39maybe?
22:40Maybe.
22:41Clearly whoever it is
22:42was watching the house
22:43the other night
22:43while Hortense
22:44was getting ready
22:44for a big bash.
22:46First thing tomorrow,
22:47talk to the neighbours.
22:48Maybe they saw someone
22:49hanging around.
22:50Mm-hmm.
22:51Oh, God.
22:52Oh, God.
22:56Oh, God.
22:57Oh, God.
23:26You want to give up, don't you?
23:27I'm here when you're ready.
23:30Look, why don't you just
23:31ask me something?
23:33Just
23:35ask me a question.
23:37Please.
23:38What are your feelings
23:40about your brother?
23:43Okay.
23:44Um,
23:47something akin to anger,
23:49I'd say.
23:51You know,
23:52every time I'm near
23:53that guy,
23:54something happens
23:55that shouldn't.
23:56And sadness.
23:58In fact,
23:59I'd say mainly
24:00sadness.
24:01I wanted it to work.
24:03Yeah?
24:03Believe me.
24:04I wanted us
24:05to work.
24:08But,
24:09you know what?
24:12We just don't.
24:13I do not trust
24:15that guy.
24:16And if you can't
24:17trust family,
24:17then who can you trust?
24:19Would it be more
24:20helpful to talk to him
24:21about what happened?
24:23I don't know
24:24where I'd even start.
24:25Sometimes,
24:26if talking's difficult,
24:27writing it down
24:28can help.
24:30Write him a letter.
24:35Yeah,
24:36write him a letter.
24:37Yeah,
24:38good work.
24:42A letter.
24:44It'd be a waste of time.
24:46Why don't you tell him
24:47what kind of brother
24:48you wanted?
24:50Because it's a fantasy.
24:52He can't be that brother.
24:56So I need to just
24:57accept it
24:58and move on.
25:01And, sir,
25:01how will you do that
25:03unless you're honest
25:03with him?
25:04And even more so
25:05with yourself.
25:07Catherine,
25:09you were at
25:09all-tenses party.
25:11Yeah.
25:12Did you know her well?
25:13Not really.
25:14And the family?
25:16Esme.
25:17Anton Busset.
25:18Oh,
25:19Anton.
25:20Men like him.
25:22Hungry lions.
25:23Looking at you
25:24like your tasty
25:25steak at a buffet.
25:27Oh,
25:28have you two
25:28got history?
25:30He'd like that.
25:31Do you want
25:32another drink?
25:33Oh,
25:34no thank you.
25:35I think I'll
25:35have an early night.
25:37Perhaps you
25:38should too,
25:38sir.
25:39Why's that?
25:40Seeing that
25:41you're having
25:42trouble sleeping.
25:43Another cold one
25:43for me,
25:44please,
25:44Catherine.
26:01I'll speak to him
26:02and you take
26:03the house
26:03over there.
26:04Then we'll get
26:04to those letters.
26:05Sound good?
26:05Cool.
26:06See you later,
26:07alligator.
26:24Come on, come on, come on.
26:33What are you doing?
26:34Huh?
26:34Nothing.
26:35What's behind your back?
26:36Hi, cupboard.
26:37Don't lie to me,
26:38there's a mirror
26:38right behind you.
26:41I just promise
26:42you won't laugh,
26:43all right?
26:44I promise.
26:46Dear Hortense,
26:47there's this girl
26:48I like.
26:48If she were
26:49a chicken wing,
26:50she'd be extra hot.
26:51All summer
26:52we've chilled,
26:53but now she's
26:54gone quiet.
26:54I'm confused.
26:55She keeps
26:56watching my stories.
26:57Once she commented
26:58with a tomato emoji,
27:00what does that mean?
27:02I just want to know
27:03where I stand.
27:04You're
27:06Sebastian Rose.
27:08You know
27:09this is supposed
27:09to be a moment.
27:10I know that, no.
27:11Well, did Hortense
27:12write back?
27:13She did.
27:13She said something
27:14about allowing
27:15space for roots
27:16to grow or something.
27:18And happy?
27:20No.
27:21Because she might
27:21be waiting for you,
27:22you know.
27:23That's a tomato emoji
27:24couldn't mean
27:25this girl's interested.
27:26You can't sit back,
27:27you've got to lean in.
27:29Yeah,
27:30it may be alright.
27:31The neighbor did
27:32tell me something
27:33pretty darn spicy.
27:34Yeah?
27:35Mm.
27:42What are you doing?
27:44A game of probability.
27:46Acula
27:46somehow gets
27:47a poisoned copy
27:48of the St. Marie News
27:49into Clayton's
27:50stack of newspapers
27:51in which there happens
27:52to be five other
27:53copies of the St. Marie News
27:54and from which
27:55she pulls one copy
27:56of the St. Marie News
27:57at random
27:58and delivers it
27:58to Hortense.
27:59A one in six charts.
28:00A one in six charts.
28:03A one in six charts.
28:03Our only clue
28:05is the egg.
28:06Why was it hard-boiled
28:07when Hortense likes it
28:08to be perfectly
28:09dippable?
28:11Sophie Martin
28:11is a very popular name.
28:14There were about
28:15a hundred
28:16Sophie Martins
28:16in Paris
28:17around that time.
28:18Look,
28:18for any connections
28:19with St. Marie,
28:20yeah,
28:20we have to find
28:21this woman.
28:22Will do.
28:27sorry,
28:27it's not you,
28:28it's me.
28:29So the beers
28:30didn't help then?
28:32Surprisingly,
28:33no.
28:35And
28:37fill it up?
28:40No,
28:40it's not a good idea.
28:41And that's
28:42an end of it.
28:43Okay?
28:47Sergeant Fletcher?
28:48We know
28:49who's been sending
28:49those messages.
28:51The neighbor
28:51was taking out
28:52the bins
28:52on the day
28:53of the party
28:53when he overheard
28:54an argument
28:55between Kim
28:56and Hortense.
28:58Did he hear
28:59what was said?
29:00Certainly did.
29:01It's you,
29:02isn't it?
29:02You have been
29:03sending these
29:04foul messages.
29:05Who else
29:05would know
29:06those things?
29:07And guess what?
29:09Hortense said
29:09she'd report
29:10her to the
29:11police the
29:11next day.
29:17I would never
29:18do anything
29:18so stupid.
29:20So why would
29:20Hortense
29:21think it was
29:21you?
29:22No clue.
29:23Those texts
29:23contain personal
29:24details that only
29:25someone close
29:26to her would
29:26know.
29:27So how long
29:27have you worked
29:28with Miss LaRue?
29:29Oh,
29:29about six months
29:30or so.
29:30Was she a good
29:31boss?
29:32Madame was a
29:32diamond.
29:33It's a tragedy
29:34that she's got.
29:35From what we've
29:35heard,
29:36she was more
29:36dragon than
29:37diamond.
29:37She certainly
29:38gave her daughter
29:39a hard time,
29:39didn't she?
29:39Well,
29:40she was a
29:40mite overprotective,
29:42but she cared,
29:43which is more
29:43than most.
29:44If she was
29:44like that
29:45with her own
29:45flesh and
29:46blood,
29:46it's not a
29:46stretch to
29:47imagine she'd
29:47do the same
29:48to you.
29:49Perhaps you
29:49decided to
29:50get your
29:51own back,
29:52frighten her.
29:53But then
29:53she found
29:54you out,
29:54didn't she?
29:55You'd have
29:56faced criminal
29:56charges,
29:57you'd have
29:57lost everything.
29:59So I
30:00killed her?
30:02You've got
30:02this all
30:03wrong,
30:03officers.
30:04I've been
30:04around the
30:05block more
30:05times than I
30:06care for.
30:06Life's good
30:07here,
30:07better than I
30:08hoped.
30:08Why would I
30:09risk losing,
30:09that?
30:14You know
30:14what I
30:14said to
30:15her?
30:15Go ahead,
30:16report me.
30:17Any decent
30:18investigation
30:18team would
30:19discover that
30:19I didn't
30:20send those
30:20texts.
30:21Convenient.
30:22What is?
30:23Well,
30:23she never
30:23got the
30:24chance,
30:24did she?
30:25And now
30:25here you
30:25are,
30:26free as
30:26a bird.
30:34she does
30:35have a
30:35point.
30:36I don't
30:36see what
30:36she gains
30:37from scaring
30:38Hortense.
30:39Well,
30:40who else?
30:41Well,
30:42I'm not
30:42overly thrilled
30:43about talking
30:43to Anton
30:44Busset,
30:45but if it
30:45was an
30:45angry reader
30:46who sent
30:46those texts,
30:47then you're
30:48going to
30:48have to.
30:50Sir,
30:50you're
30:50sure you
30:51can keep
30:52cool as
30:55a cucumber.
31:06So,
31:06all tens
31:07of LaRue
31:07didn't mention
31:08anything to
31:08you about
31:09these text
31:09messages?
31:10Ever since
31:11the divorce,
31:12we didn't
31:12have the
31:12same intimacy,
31:13you understand.
31:15Please,
31:15sit down.
31:16No,
31:16I'm all right
31:16standing,
31:17thank you.
31:18Any hate
31:18mail sent
31:19to the office?
31:20Complaints?
31:21People calling
31:21in to talk
31:22to her?
31:22You don't
31:23give up,
31:24do you?
31:24Oh,
31:25this is
31:25deceptive
31:25behaviour.
31:26Is this
31:26real gold?
31:27Can you
31:27put that
31:27down?
31:29I've
31:29already
31:30said I
31:30don't
31:30know
31:31who
31:31was
31:31sending
31:31these
31:31messages,
31:32and whoever
31:33she is
31:33won't be
31:34easily
31:34found.
31:35She?
31:36What?
31:37You just
31:37said whoever
31:37she is.
31:38I
31:39misspoke.
31:40They.
31:41Unusual
31:41for a man
31:42in your
31:42line of
31:42work
31:42to
31:43misspeak.
31:44Unusual
31:44for a man
31:44in your
31:45line of
31:45work
31:45to
31:46behave
31:46like an
31:47amateur.
31:47Excuse
31:48me?
31:48Let me
31:48be crystal
31:49clear.
31:50Stop
31:50wasting
31:51time
31:51asking
31:52obtuse
31:52questions,
31:53and go
31:54about
31:54doing
31:55your
31:55actual
31:55job.
31:57Let me
31:57be
31:57crystal
31:58clear.
31:58These
31:59obtuse
31:59questions
31:59are to
32:00find out
32:00who
32:00murdered
32:01your
32:01ex-wife.
32:02Sir?
32:02But the
32:02fact that
32:02you can't
32:03see that
32:03is because
32:03your head
32:04is so
32:04far
32:04up
32:04your
32:04own
32:07Well,
32:08that
32:08escalated.
32:10Look,
32:11I get
32:12it.
32:12Sir,
32:13what you
32:13went through
32:14was something
32:15no one
32:16should ever
32:16have to.
32:17Well,
32:18you can't
32:18keep pretending.
32:19Pretending?
32:20Yes,
32:20pretending like
32:21you're okay.
32:22Your judgment
32:23is clearly
32:24off because
32:24you're not
32:25sleeping,
32:25and you're
32:26not sleeping
32:26because you
32:26have this
32:27thing with
32:27Solomon hanging
32:28over your
32:28head.
32:29What do
32:29you suggest?
32:30I don't
32:30know.
32:31Write the
32:31letter.
32:32Whatever.
32:33Get it
32:33off your
32:33chest.
32:34We have
32:34a murder
32:35to solve.
32:36All right.
32:38Fine.
32:39I'll do
32:39it.
32:40Thank
32:40you.
32:45So what
32:45are we
32:45going to
32:46do
32:46about
32:46Mr.
32:46Busset?
32:47The
32:47obvious
32:48suspects
32:49who's
32:50sending
32:50those
32:50texts.
32:51Well,
32:53we need
32:53a tactical
32:55rethink.
32:58I have
32:59an idea.
33:08Who knew
33:09St.
33:09Marie
33:09was so
33:10high-tech?
33:11Found it
33:12in the back
33:13of the
33:13evidence
33:13store.
33:14Don't think
33:14it's been
33:15used for
33:15a while.
33:16You
33:16surprised
33:16me.
33:18It's
33:19from 1986.
33:20Can't beat
33:21quality.
33:22Thanks for
33:22doing this,
33:23Miss Mordet.
33:23A pleasure.
33:24I feel like
33:25one of
33:26Charlie's
33:26angels.
33:28Now,
33:28remember,
33:29you're there
33:29to find out
33:30who Anton
33:30thinks is
33:31behind the
33:31text messages,
33:32but don't
33:33go straight in
33:33for the
33:33kill.
33:34Act
33:34natural.
33:34Re-in-check
33:35is your
33:35code word
33:36if anything
33:37goes wrong.
33:37It won't.
33:39Trust me.
33:48We good?
33:54The golden goose
33:55has landed.
34:00Anton,
34:02how lovely
34:02to see you.
34:03Likewise.
34:04I was
34:05surprised
34:05when you
34:06called me.
34:08Pleasantly
34:08surprised,
34:09of course.
34:10Thought a
34:10drink would
34:11help take
34:12your mind
34:12off things.
34:13Much
34:14appreciated.
34:17That clown
34:18inspector
34:19was at
34:20the office
34:20today.
34:21Poking
34:22his nose
34:22in where
34:23it's not
34:23wanted.
34:24Oh,
34:24like a
34:25dog
34:25without
34:25a bow.
34:26What is
34:27she after
34:27such weight?
34:28She knows
34:29what she's
34:29doing.
34:30Did the
34:31police
34:31have a
34:31theory
34:32today?
34:32All they
34:33were bothered
34:34about
34:34for these
34:35nasty
34:36messages
34:36Hortense
34:37was receiving.
34:40You seem
34:41like a woman
34:42of good
34:42sense and
34:43judgment.
34:43I like to
34:44think so.
34:45This stays
34:46between us.
34:47A few
34:48years ago,
34:49Hortense
34:49told me
34:50something.
34:51Esme
34:51isn't her
34:52child.
34:53She took
34:53her from
34:54Paris when
34:54she was
34:55a baby.
34:55This is
34:55big!
34:56Sadly,
34:57the mother
34:57wasn't able
34:58to take
34:58care of
34:59her.
34:59A drug
35:00addict.
35:01I'm
35:01assuming
35:02she
35:02agreed
35:02to
35:03this.
35:03The way
35:04Hortense
35:04told it
35:05sounded
35:05like she
35:05was too
35:06out of
35:06it
35:06to
35:07notice.
35:08Hortense
35:08couldn't
35:09have
35:09children.
35:10But
35:10the
35:11authorities,
35:12did they
35:12not
35:12realize?
35:13She
35:13came
35:14here,
35:14forged
35:15her
35:15papers.
35:16She
35:16was
35:16Esme's
35:17mother
35:17in
35:17all
35:18but
35:18flesh
35:18and
35:19blood.
35:20And
35:20Esme
35:21has
35:21no
35:21idea?
35:22No.
35:22And
35:23I
35:23wanted
35:23to
35:23stay
35:23that
35:23way.
35:24This
35:25would
35:25break
35:25her.
35:26So,
35:27you
35:27suspect
35:28it's
35:28Esme's
35:29birth
35:29mother
35:30sending
35:31those
35:31messages?
35:32Who
35:32else?
35:36Enough
35:37doom
35:37and gloom.
35:38Would
35:38you do
35:38me
35:39the
35:39honor
35:39of
35:39a
35:39dance?
35:40Oh,
35:40well,
35:41um,
35:42it might
35:42be
35:42better.
35:43If I
35:44rain
35:44check.
35:45No
35:45reason.
35:46I doubt
35:47that very
35:47much.
35:48Come
35:48on.
35:48Sorry,
35:49Anton.
35:50I
35:50must
35:51rain
35:51check.
35:54We've
35:54lost
35:55her.
35:55Sergeant
35:56Fletcher.
36:00Why
36:01do you
36:01keep
36:01saying
36:02rain?
36:04Check.
36:13Sorry,
36:14Matt.
36:14Yeah,
36:14I tried.
36:16This
36:16won't be
36:16the last
36:17to hear
36:17of me.
36:18I'll be
36:18calling
36:19your
36:19commissioner.
36:20What's
36:21going on?
36:21I was
36:22saying
36:22the
36:22cold
36:23well.
36:23It was
36:24a technical
36:24edge.
36:24I am
36:25so
36:25sorry.
36:28We
36:28can
36:29now
36:29assume
36:29that

36:36Which
36:37means
36:37Sophie
36:38is
36:39Esme's
36:39real
36:39mother
36:40and
36:40finally
36:40explains
36:41why

36:42was so
36:42desperate
36:42to
36:43publish
36:43the
36:43letter.
36:44She
36:44knew
36:45it

36:59you'll
36:59get
36:59what's
37:00coming
37:00to
37:00you.
37:00You
37:01don't
37:01deserve
37:01to
37:01live.
37:02She's
37:02here
37:02on
37:03this
37:03island
37:03with
37:03one
37:04hell

37:18Angel.
37:19No,
37:19not
37:20at
37:20all.
37:21Such
37:21a great
37:21loss.
37:23If
37:23you
37:23ever
37:24need
37:24someone

37:24talk
37:25to,
37:26I'm
37:26here.
37:28you're
37:28kind.
37:47Solomon,
37:49I've been
37:49thinking about
37:49what to say
37:50for a while
37:51but I haven't
37:52managed to
37:53find the
37:53right words.
37:57it
37:57flows
37:59just
38:00like
38:01a
38:01mirror
38:02it
38:03seems
38:04to
38:04show
38:05heaven
38:07I'm
38:07afraid
38:07to
38:08show
38:09the
38:10morning.
38:12Morning, sir.
38:14That was the
38:15Paris police.
38:16My thinking
38:17was
38:17addicts
38:18are more
38:18likely to
38:19have criminal
38:19charges
38:20and
38:21there are
38:22three
38:22Sophie Martons
38:24on file.
38:24Two for
38:25possession,
38:25one for
38:26aggravated
38:26robbery.
38:27I've asked
38:27them to
38:27send over
38:28the records.
38:29Good work.
38:30What's that,
38:31sir?
38:32Oh,
38:33um,
38:34this is it.
38:35My letter
38:36to Solomon.
38:37I've got it
38:38off my chest.
38:39Did it help?
38:41Uh,
38:43yeah,
38:44it did,
38:44actually.
38:45You know
38:46what I realised?
38:47I want,
38:48no,
38:49I need
38:50my space
38:51from it.
38:54I'm so
38:54sorry,
38:55sir.
38:55No,
38:55no,
38:55no,
38:55no,
38:55it's all
38:56good,
38:56it's for
38:56the best.
38:57I just
38:58needed a
38:58little time
38:59to accept
39:00it,
39:00that's all.
39:03Where is
39:03everyone?
39:04Following a
39:05lead.
39:06If Sophie
39:07Martin was
39:08outside
39:08Madame
39:08Rourou's
39:09house that
39:09night,
39:10it's possible
39:10she followed
39:11her to
39:11the party.
39:12So we
39:13went through
39:14the photos
39:15online and
39:16look at
39:17this one.
39:22Yes,
39:22she does
39:23look about
39:23the right
39:23age that
39:24Sophie will
39:24be.
39:25An
39:25uninvited
39:26guest.
39:27The
39:27waiter said
39:28she got
39:28into a
39:29green
39:29VW
39:30camper van
39:30and
39:31luckily,
39:31Martin
39:32knows the
39:32one
39:32garage
39:33that
39:33fixes
39:33them.
39:37Yeah,
39:38talk with
39:39the devil.
39:41So someone
39:42matching her
39:42description
39:43came into
39:43the garage
39:44last week
39:45goes by
39:45the name
39:45of
39:46Calypso.
39:46Says she
39:47normally
39:47parks up
39:48by
39:48Coral
39:48Beach.
39:49We need
39:49to get
39:50there.
39:50Prompt her.
39:51You already
39:51here, sir?
39:52We got
39:53an eyeball.
39:57I hearing
39:58you good?
39:58You think
39:59that I'm
40:00that shy
40:01girl's
40:01mother?
40:02You're
40:02mad.
40:03I don't
40:03even know
40:04this one
40:04you're
40:04talking
40:04about.
40:06Then why
40:07did you
40:07sneak into
40:08the party
40:08that night?
40:10Just
40:10passing.
40:11Felt
40:12thirsty.
40:12It's not
40:13a crime.
40:14No,
40:15the stalking
40:15is.
40:16See,
40:16our theory
40:17is you
40:17are Sophie
40:18Martin.
40:19You
40:19assumed
40:19a new
40:20identity
40:20to come
40:21to St.
40:22Marie
40:22and enact
40:22revenge
40:23on Hortense
40:24LaRue,
40:24starting with
40:25those threatening
40:26text messages.
40:27Ah,
40:28I just like
40:29to stay
40:30off-grid,
40:30that's all.
40:31We should
40:31be free
40:32to roam,
40:33as the
40:33birds do.
40:34You know
40:34we can trace
40:35the sim
40:35to the shop
40:36you brought
40:36it in?
40:37Check
40:37their CCTV.
40:40Okay,
40:41here's the truth.
40:42That woman
40:43you're talking
40:44about,
40:45Sophie
40:45Martin,
40:46that ain't
40:47me.
40:48But those
40:49texts,
40:52I sent
40:53them.
40:53Not for the
40:54reason you
40:55think though.
40:55Why then?
40:57Two months
40:58ago,
40:58I sent
40:59dear Hortense
41:00a letter.
41:02Hortense
41:02told me
41:03to cut
41:03the mother
41:04out of
41:04my life.
41:06Toxic
41:06mothers
41:07shouldn't
41:07be allowed
41:08to act
41:08that way,
41:09she said.
41:10A hypocritical
41:11coming from her?
41:11I did
41:12what she
41:12said.
41:13Know
41:14what?
41:15My
41:16mother
41:16died
41:17alone
41:17in her
41:18bed.
41:19If I
41:19hadn't
41:20listened to
41:20that loud
41:21mouth
41:21woman,
41:21I would
41:22have
41:22been
41:22there.
41:22That
41:23must
41:23have
41:23made
41:23you
41:23angry.
41:24Not
41:24enough
41:25to
41:25kill
41:25her.
41:26I
41:26wanted
41:26to
41:27scare
41:27her.
41:28Make
41:28her
41:28suffer
41:29the
41:29same
41:30way
41:30I've
41:30been
41:30suffering.
41:32Talking
41:32about
41:32this
41:32perfect
41:33life.
41:34Little
41:34care
41:35for
41:35the
41:35people
41:36whose
41:36life
41:36she
41:37ruins.
41:43Miss
41:44Jones,
41:45no
41:45disrespect
41:46but
41:48it
41:48kind
41:48of
41:49seems
41:49like
41:49you're
41:49more
41:49angry
41:50at
41:50yourself.
41:53Look,
41:53I'm
41:53no
41:54expert
41:54but
41:55it
41:56doesn't
41:56help
41:56to
41:57hold
41:58on
41:58to
41:58things.
42:12So we're
42:12still
42:12having
42:13a
42:13scooby
42:13how the
42:14killer pulled
42:14off this
42:14murder.
42:15A stack
42:16of six
42:16papers
42:16and they
42:17managed
42:17to
42:17poison
42:17one
42:18and have
42:18it
42:18delivered
42:19practically
42:19straight
42:19into
42:20Hortense
42:20LaRue's
42:21hands.
42:21Let's
42:22not
42:22forget
42:22about
42:22the
42:22egg.
42:23What
42:24happened
42:24that
42:24morning
42:24to
42:24make
42:25her
42:25ruin
42:25a
42:25perfectly
42:25good
42:26breakfast?
42:27Sir.
42:27Hold that
42:28thought.
42:29I'm late.
42:32I'll be back.
42:40How do you feel?
42:42Um,
42:43better.
42:45Definitely
42:45better.
42:46I mean
42:47everything
42:48everything
42:48here
42:48is just
42:51gone.
42:53All I need
42:53to do
42:53now is
42:54post it.
42:55Well done.
42:57Now,
42:58can we talk a little
42:59more about your life here?
43:01How long have you got?
43:03About half an hour.
43:04No, I meant
43:12she timed it.
43:13She timed it.
43:14Why did she take it out?
43:17And the egg,
43:18how long did she cook it for?
43:19Dreaming it, social.
43:20He then cycled straight here,
43:22delivered the newspaper to Madame LaRue
43:24at 7.15 a.m.
43:26Sorry, the little man doesn't like strangers.
43:28There were no fingerprints found on her Tenser's glasses.
43:31I wanted to scare her.
43:33I wanted her to suffer
43:34the same way I've been suffering.
43:36Of course.
43:37Well, that's the reason why.
43:38Why what?
43:39The egg was hard-boiled.
43:41I can see everything clearly now.
43:46Well,
43:47thanks for your patience.
43:49I know who the killer is.
43:50I know how they did it.
43:52Those photos from the Paris police,
43:53have they come through?
43:54Just in.
43:55Right, we need a search warrant.
43:57And then we can have a little family reunion.
44:05Agony Arts,
44:06are known for giving advice
44:08to help solve difficult problems.
44:11However,
44:12I doubt they've ever been asked
44:13to advise on a problem
44:14as difficult as this one.
44:16Hortense LaRue was poisoned,
44:18effectively by her own column.
44:20But we had no idea
44:22how the killer managed to poison the newspaper
44:24and get it delivered straight to her,
44:26when the paper boy
44:28took one at random
44:29from his stack.
44:31But,
44:32with the help
44:33of a hard-boiled egg,
44:34Not this again.
44:36we finally cracked it.
44:40You, Kim.
44:41It was you
44:42who murdered Hortense.
44:44Me?
44:45No.
44:46I told you,
44:47I was telling the truth.
44:48As Miss LaRue's housekeeper,
44:50you knew her morning routine,
44:52that she liked to read her column
44:53whilst having her breakfast.
44:55You also knew
44:56that Clayton drops the paper
44:58on the porch
44:58at 7.15am
45:00and Papillon
45:01barks to alert Hortense,
45:03as he always does
45:05when someone's at the door.
45:06So,
45:07earlier that morning,
45:08you went to another newsagent
45:10and bought a copy
45:11of the St. Marie News.
45:13Let's call this
45:14Paper A.
45:15You then laced the problem page
45:17with cone snail poison,
45:19something you knew about
45:21from Hortense's fear
45:22of her dog getting stung by one.
45:23My mum was always
45:24Barron ID guest, don't.
45:26Then you dropped Paper A
45:28onto the porch
45:29sometime before Clayton
45:30usually arrived.
45:32Hortense must have been
45:33in the middle of preparing
45:35her breakfast.
45:36Papillon barked as normal,
45:38so she went outside
45:39to collect the newspaper
45:40she thought had just been delivered.
45:46She went back into the kitchen,
45:48eager to see if her request
45:50to change her final column
45:51had been carried out.
45:52In doing so,
45:53she came into contact
45:54with the poison
45:55and subsequently died.
45:58A painful death,
45:59by all accounts.
46:02You then came into the house
46:04through the back
46:06and put on Hortense's
46:08purple gown,
46:09a wig matching her hair
46:11with a purple headband.
46:12And finally,
46:13the item that was
46:15unmistakably Hortense,
46:17her statement,
46:19purple glasses.
46:20As usual,
46:22at 7.15,
46:23Clayton delivered the newspaper,
46:25Paper B,
46:26and Papillon barked.
46:28Kim,
46:29now dressed as Hortense,
46:30opened the door
46:31and waved to him.
46:33As Clayton cycled away,
46:34he wouldn't have known
46:35that it was in fact you
46:36waving at him
46:37and not Hortense.
46:38You then came back
46:40into the kitchen
46:41and returned
46:42Miss LaRue's glasses,
46:43wiping away
46:44any prints first.
46:46Now,
46:47we come to the egg
46:48and your ultimate downfall.
46:51You see,
46:52in your haste
46:53to stage the scene
46:54before Esme arrived,
46:55you almost forgot
46:56Miss LaRue's egg
46:56was still boiling away
46:57on the stove.
46:58You needed everything
47:00to look exactly
47:01as it should.
47:02to fit the timeline
47:03of Hortense making breakfast,
47:05then reading her column.
47:07So,
47:08you hurriedly took
47:08the now hard-boiled egg
47:10out of the pan
47:11and clumsily
47:12put it in the egg cup.
47:14Then you left the house
47:15through the back,
47:16the same way you came,
47:18got into your car
47:19that was parked
47:20around the corner
47:20and drove around the front
47:22to time perfectly
47:23with Esme's arrival.
47:26You later
47:29disposed of
47:30Paper B
47:31and the wig
47:32and the wig
47:32at your home.
47:33We found these
47:34in the bin
47:35on your street.
47:36An audacious
47:37yet brilliant plan.
47:40But
47:40why go to such lengths?
47:45Kim Woods
47:45isn't your real name,
47:48is it?
47:49You are in fact
47:50Sophie Martin.
47:5330 years ago,
47:55Sophie Martin
47:56moved to Paris
47:57from the UK
47:58with her boyfriend
47:59who was escaping
48:00some trouble back home.
48:02She was living
48:03in a commune
48:04in Montmartre
48:04and it's there
48:06and it's there
48:06she met
48:06Hortense,
48:07an ambitious writer.
48:10Sophie
48:12was a drug addict
48:14with a newborn baby.
48:18You were doing your best,
48:20no doubt,
48:20but from what we now know
48:21about Miss LaRue,
48:23she had a savior complex.
48:25Through our
48:26undercover investigation,
48:28we discovered her secret.
48:30Hortense stole your baby
48:32in the nights
48:33and went as far away
48:35as she could
48:37to St. Marie.
48:40That baby was you,
48:42Esne.
48:44You're my mother.
48:48Hortense was my friend
48:50and she offered
48:51to look after you
48:52and yes,
48:54I was struggling
48:55but I loved you
48:56so much
48:58and then one morning
48:59I woke up
49:00and you was gone
49:01and I didn't sleep
49:02the day
49:03searching for you.
49:05But then you found out
49:07Hortense was here,
49:08didn't you?
49:09Through her column.
49:11So all those years ago,
49:13you wrote this letter
49:15to dear Hortense.
49:17The same letter
49:19Hortense wanted to publish
49:20at the very last minute
49:23for her final issue.
49:25I wanted her to know
49:26I was coming for her.
49:28Then you were arrested?
49:30The guy I was going out
49:31with at the time,
49:31he told the police
49:33that I was involved
49:34in an armed robbery
49:35and someone got
49:36really badly hurt
49:37and it was all lies.
49:39I had nothing
49:40to do with it.
49:41He was not a good man
49:42and I didn't get a chance
49:43to send the letter.
49:45They put me away
49:47for years.
49:48Time after time,
49:49my parole was refused
49:51and I lost all hope
49:53until one day
49:54I finally got myself together,
49:56got myself clean.
49:58That day came
50:00and I knew what I had to do.
50:03I had to find you
50:05hurt Hortense
50:06for what she'd done.
50:08I came to St. Marie.
50:10First place I went
50:11was the news agent
50:12and I saw the ad
50:13for her housekeeper.
50:14But it felt like fate.
50:16Come in.
50:18You bided your time
50:20working out
50:21the perfect murder plan.
50:22But when Hortense
50:23received your letter,
50:25she must have known
50:26you were gunning for her.
50:28You read her response.
50:31She didn't regret it.
50:33Nor one bit.
50:37Esme, I don't expect
50:38you to forgive me.
50:40But I would really like
50:41you to understand
50:42that what she did
50:43destroyed me.
50:47Killing her
50:47was the only way
50:48I could ever
50:49have a relationship
50:50with you.
50:52Officer Rose?
50:55Sergeant Martin,
50:57I'm arresting you
50:58for the murder
50:58of Hortense LaRue.
51:00You don't need
51:01to say anything.
51:02But it may harm
51:02your defense
51:02if you do not mention
51:03when questioned
51:04something which you
51:05later learn in cards.
51:06You think you do say
51:07may be given evidence.
51:10So my whole life
51:11has been alive.
51:14Hortense's love
51:15for you?
51:17That was real.
51:30witchcraft, huh?
52:15Hey.
52:20Can I help you?
52:23Mervyn, yeah?
52:26Yeah?
52:27Didn't you hear me knock?
52:29No, I was sleeping, actually.
52:32Deeply.
52:33You're older than I imagined.
52:35Sorry, who are you?
52:37Just one second.
52:39Come on.
52:40Just give it up, man.
52:44Finally.
52:45Stupid boy's been holding out.
52:47And all he's got is a pair of sixes.
52:51Amateur.
52:52Is that a gambling app?
52:54I don't think you should be playing that.
52:56Don't sweat it.
52:57It's cool.
52:59Dad said you were a goodie-goody, but I guess that comes with a jab, right?
53:03Okay, stop.
53:04Yeah?
53:05Now you tell me right now who you are, who your dad is, and what you're doing on my property,
53:09or I'm arresting you for trespass.
53:11And you being a detective, it's me, Eloise, Yenice.
53:18Sorry, what?
53:19Yenice, Eloise, did Dad not mention me to you?
53:25No, no one mentioned you.
53:30Well, I'm sure he was going to.
53:33He's a busy guy, you know.
53:35Locked on his plate.
53:39So, what would you prefer when I call you?
53:43Uncle Marvin?
53:45Uncle Marv?
53:47Just Marv?
53:52What's for breakfast?
53:59Hey, don't touch anything.
