00:01Dear Hortense, my boyfriend snores and I haven't got a good night's evening.
00:05Dear Hortense, I've got a problem with my mother-in-law, or should I say...
00:10Dear Hortense, how can I get my son to sleep?
00:12Dear Hortense, dear Hortense...
00:14Dear Hortense, dear Hortense, I don't know where...
00:22How many times were not under attack, you damn thing?
00:32Today's letter's for you, ma'am.
00:38Merci, Kim.
00:45Dear desperate daughter-in-law, may I suggest an alternative course of action?
00:52Divorce your wetter husband and kill two birds with one stone.
00:57Dear Peeping Peter, I sense this neighbour is keen for you to notice her.
01:05So bake some chicken, Columbo, and take it over there without delay.
01:10Bonne chance.
01:13Today's letter's for you, ma'am.
01:16Merci, Kim.
01:24Please, Gemma, can I see you?
01:26I mean, I think I've done a better plan.
01:32I think that's a good way to find my mother-in-law.
01:35I think it's a bad way to take a long time.
01:36What do you think?
01:37I think that's a good way to when you look for my mother-in-law.
01:37I'm innocent.
01:37I'm innocent.
01:37I'm innocent.
01:38I think I've been innocent, too.
01:38Yeah, my mother-in-law...
01:43I'm innocent.
01:53Commissioner, thanks for coming.
01:56Catherine, what a picture, like a young Grace Kelly.
02:01You do exaggerate, Mr. Boussaint.
02:03Merely appreciative of beauty when I see it.
02:06I've been meaning to thank you.
02:08Without your admirable journalism, the community initiative wouldn't have happened.
02:14Thanks, Peters.
02:17Four tents, our guest of honor.
02:21Simply stunning, like a young Grace Kelly.
02:27It all looks wonderful, Anton.
02:29Only what you deserve for your dedicated service to this island.
02:33One last favor, simply.
02:36I want to change my final column.
02:38I want to do this one.
02:39It's already gone to press, I'm afraid.
02:41Oh, don't be afraid.
02:43Just make it happen.
02:45Oh, come on, Bernie.
02:48Do 24 years of marriage, count for nothing?
02:52Mm-hmm.
03:03After 30 years solving this island's problems, our beloved Agony Aunt is retiring.
03:11Oh.
03:12And so, please, put your hands together to show your gratitude for this wonderful woman.
03:19Oh, dear.
03:21We don't know again.
03:22We don't know again.
03:23We don't know.
03:24You have to be.
03:24Thank you to all of you, my esteemed readers, for entrusting me with this precious task for
03:32so many years.
03:33But now I'm looking forward to spending more time with my daughter, Esmi.
03:47Let's see if, for the first time in his life, that imbecile was true to his word.
04:10Good morning, Esmi.
04:12How was the party?
04:14Good item.
04:15Me at her.
04:17That's weird.
04:20Maman?
04:24Maman?
04:28Maman?
04:30Maman?
04:33Maman?

25:59Who can you trust?
26:00Would it be more helpful to talk to him about what happened?
26:04I don't know where I'd even start.
26:07Sometimes, if talking's difficult, writing it down can help.
26:11Write him a letter.
26:17Yeah, writing him a letter. Yeah, could work.
26:25A letter. It'd be a waste of time.
26:28Why don't you tell him what kind of brother you wanted?
26:32Because it's a fantasy.
26:35He can't be that brother.
26:38So I need to just accept it and move on.
26:44And, sir, how will you do that unless you're honest with him?
26:47And even more so with yourself?
26:51Catherine, you were at Hortense's party.
26:55Yeah.
26:55Did you know her well?
26:56Not really.
26:58And the family.
26:59Esme.
27:01Anton Busset.
27:02Oh, Anton.
27:04Men like him.
27:06Hungry lions.
27:08Looking at you like your tasty steak at a buffet.
27:11Oh, have you two got history?
27:14He'd like that.
27:16Do you want another drink?
27:18Oh, no thank you.
27:20I think I'll have an early night.
27:22Perhaps you should too, sir.
27:24Why's that?
27:26Seeing that you're having trouble sleeping.
27:28Another cold one for me, please, Catherine.
27:47I'll speak to him, and you take the house over there.
27:50Then we'll get to those letters, sound good?
27:52Cool.
27:52See you later, alligator.
28:00See you later.
28:05See you later.
28:07See you later.
28:11Come on, come on, come on.
28:20What are you doing?
28:22Huh?
28:22Nothing.
28:23What's behind your back?
28:24Hi, cupboard.
28:25Don't lie to me.
28:26There's a mirror right behind you.
28:30Just promise you won't laugh, all right?
28:32I promise.
28:34Dear Hortense, there's this girl I like.
28:37If she were a chicken wing, she'd be extra hot.
28:40All summer we've chilled, but now she's gone quiet.
28:43I'm confused.
28:44She keeps watching my stories.
28:46Once she commented with a tomato emoji,
28:49what does that mean?
28:51I just want to know where I stand.
28:54You're Sebastian Rose.
28:58You know this is supposed to be a momentous.
28:59I know that, no.
29:01Well, did Hortense write back?
29:02She did.
29:03She said something about allowing space for roots to grow or something.
29:08And happy?
29:10No.
29:11Because she might be waiting for you, you know.
29:13That tomato emoji couldn't mean this girl's interested.
29:17You can't sit back, you've got to lean in.
29:19Yeah, it may be all right.
29:22The neighbor did tell me something pretty darn spicy.
29:25Yeah?
29:26Mm.
29:33What are you doing?
29:35A game of probability.
29:38Acula somehow gets a poisoned copy of the St. Marie News
29:41into Clayton's stack of newspapers,
29:42in which there happens to be five other copies of the St. Marie News,
29:46and from which he pulls one copy of the St. Marie News at random
29:49and delivers it to Hortense.
29:51A one in six charts.
29:53One in six charts.
29:55Our only clue is the egg.
29:58Why was it hard-boiled when Hortense likes it to be perfectly dippable?
30:03Sophie Martin is a very popular name.
30:06There were about a hundred Sophie Martins in Paris around that time.
30:11Look, for any connections with St. Marie, yeah,
30:13we have to find this woman.
30:15Will do.
30:20Sorry, it's not you.
30:21It's me.
30:23So the beers didn't help then?
30:26Surprisingly, no.
30:30And...
30:31a little?
30:34No, it's not a good idea.
30:35No, and that's an end of it.
30:37Okay?
30:41Sergeant Fletcher?
30:43We know who's been sending those messages.
30:45The neighbour was taking out the bins on the day of the party
30:48when he overheard an argument between Kim and Hortense.
30:53Did he hear what was said?
30:55Certainly did.
30:56It's you, isn't it?
30:58You have been sending these foul messages.
31:00Who else would know those things?
31:02And guess what?
31:04Hortense said she'd report her to the police the next day.
31:13I would never do anything so stupid.
31:16So why would Hortense think it was you?
31:18No clue.
31:19Those texts contain personal details
31:21that only someone close to her would know.
31:23So how long have you worked with Ms. LaRue?
31:25Oh, about six months or so.
31:27Was she a good boss?
31:28Madame was a diamond.
31:30It's a tragedy that she's gone.
31:31From what we've heard, she was more dragon than diamond.
31:34She certainly gave her daughter a hard time, didn't she?
31:37Well, she was a mite overprotective.
31:39But she cared, which is more than most.
31:41If she was like that with her own flesh and blood,
31:43it's not a stretch to imagine she'd do the same to you.
31:46Perhaps you decided to get your own back, frighten her.
31:50But then she found you out, didn't she?
31:53You'd have faced criminal charges.
31:55You'd have lost everything.
31:56So, I killed her.
32:00You've got this all wrong, officers.
32:02I've been around the block more times than I care for.
32:05Life's good here, better than I hoped.
32:07Why would I risk losing that?
32:12You know what I said to her?
32:14Go ahead, report me.
32:16Any decent investigation team would discover that I didn't send those texts.
32:20Convenient.
32:21What is?
32:22Well, she never got the chance, did she?
32:24And now here you are, free as a bird.
32:34She does have a point.
32:35I don't see what she gains from scaring Hortense.
32:39Well, who else?
32:42Well, I'm not overly thrilled about talking to Anton Busset.
32:45But if it was an angry reader who sent those texts,
32:47then you're going to have to.
32:50Sir, are you sure you can keep cool?
32:56As a cucumber.
33:07So, Hortense Leroux didn't mention anything to you about these text messages?
33:12Ever since the divorce, we didn't have the same intimacy, you understand?
33:16Please, sit down.
33:18No, I'm all right standing, thank you.
33:20Any hate mail sent to the office?
33:22Complaints, people calling in to talk to her?
33:24Well, you don't give up, do you?
33:26Oh, this is deceptively heavy.
33:28Is this real gold?
33:29Can you put that down?
33:31I've already said I don't know who was sending these messages.
33:35And whoever she is won't be easily found.
33:38She?
33:39What?
33:40You just said whoever she is.
33:42I misspoke.
33:43They.
33:44Unusual for a man in your line of work to misspeak.
33:46Unusual for a man in your line of work to behave like an amateur.
33:51Excuse me?
33:51Let me be crystal clear.
33:53Stop wasting time asking obtuse questions.
33:57And go about doing your actual job.
34:00Let me be crystal clear.
34:02These obtuse questions are to find out who murdered your ex-wife.
34:06Sir?
34:06But the fact that you can't see that is because your head is so far up your own b-
34:12Well, that escalated.
34:14Look.
34:16I get it.
34:17Sir, what you went through was something no one should ever have to.
34:22Well, you can't keep pretending.
34:24Pretending?
34:25Yes.
34:25Pretending like you're okay.
34:27I am.
34:27Your judgment is clearly off because you're not sleeping.
34:31And you're not sleeping because you have this thing with Solomon hanging over your head.
34:34What do you suggest?
34:35I don't know.
34:36Write the letter.
34:38Whatever.
34:39Get it off your chest.
34:40We have a murder to solve.
34:42All right.
34:43Fine.
34:45I'll do it.
34:51So what are we going to do about Mr. Busset?
34:53He obviously suspects who's sending those texts.
34:58Well, we need a tactical rethink.
35:05I have an idea.
35:16Who knew St. Marie was so high-tech?
35:19Found it in the back of the evidence store.
35:22Don't think it's been used for a while.
35:24You surprised me.
35:26It's from 1986.
35:28Can't beat quality.
35:30Thanks for doing this, Miss Bourdais.
35:32A pleasure.
35:33I feel like one of Charlie's angels.
35:36Now, remember, you're there to find out who Anton thinks is behind the text messages.
35:41But don't go straight in for the kill.
35:42Act natural.
35:43Re-in-check is your code word if anything goes wrong.
35:47It won't.
35:48Trust me.
35:57We're good?
36:03The Golden Goose has landed.
36:10Anton!
36:12How lovely to see you.
36:13Likewise.
36:14I was surprised when you called me.
36:18Pleasantly surprised, of course.
36:21Thought a drink would help.
36:22Take your mind off things.
36:24Much appreciated.
36:28That clown inspector was at the office today.
36:32Poking his nose in where it's not wanted.
36:35Oh, like a dog without a bow.
36:37What is she after saying?
36:39Shh, wait.
36:40She knows what she's doing.
36:41Did the police have a theory today?
36:45All they were bothered about were these nasty messages Hortense was receiving.
36:52You seem like a woman of good sense and judgment.
36:56I like to think so.
36:58This stays between us.
37:00A few years ago, Hortense told me something.
37:03Esme isn't her child.
37:06She took her from Paris when she was a baby.
37:08This is big!
37:09Sadly, the mother wasn't able to take care of her.
37:12A drug addict.
37:13I'm assuming she agreed to this.
37:16The way Hortense told it sounded like she was too out of it to notice.
37:21Hortense couldn't have children.
37:23But the authorities, did they not realize?
37:27She came here, forged her papers.
37:30She was Esme's mother in all but flesh and blood.
37:33And Esme has no idea?
37:36No.
37:36And I wanted to stay that way.
37:38This would break her.
37:40So, you suspect it's Esme's birth mother sending those messages?
37:46Who else?
37:51Enough doom and gloom.
37:53Would you do me the honor of a dance?
37:55Oh, well, um...
37:57It might be better.
37:58If I rain check.
38:00No reason.
38:02I doubt that very much.
38:03Come on.
38:04Sorry, Anton.
38:05I must rain check.
38:10We've lost her.
38:11Sergeant Fletcher.
38:16Why do you keep saying rain check?
38:30Sorry, Mathieu.
38:31I tried.
38:32This won't be the last you hear of me.
38:35I'll be calling your commissioner.
38:39I was saying the code well.
38:40It was a technical age.
38:42I am so sorry.
38:45We can now assume that the friend's betrayal written about in Sophie Martin's letter is referring to Hortense stealing Sophie's
38:53baby 30 years ago.
38:54Which means Sophie is Esme's real mother and finally explains why Hortense was so desperate to publish the letter.
39:02She knew it was Sophie coming for her.
39:05Her response?
39:06Back off.
39:07Esme's mine.
39:08But why wait 30 years to send this?
39:11Don't know yet.
39:12But we will.
39:13And if Miss Martin is also behind the text messages, as Anton suspects...
39:18You'll get what's coming to you.
39:19You don't deserve to live.
39:21She's here on this island with one hell of a motive.
39:27But we're...
39:37Oh, we don't mind, Angel.
39:39Oh, no.
39:40Not at all.
39:41Such a great loss.
39:43If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here.
39:48You're kind.
40:09Solomon, I've been thinking about what to say for a while, but I haven't managed to find the right words.
40:15Across the street, across the way, it flows, just like a mirror, it seems to show, heaven, I'm afraid.
40:32Merci beaucoup.
40:34Morning.
40:35Morning, sir.
40:37That was the Paris police.
40:39My thinking was addicts are more likely to have criminal charges.
40:43And there are three Sophie Martons on file.
40:48Two for possession, one for aggravated robbery.
40:50I've asked them to send over the records.
40:52Good work.
40:54What's that, sir?
40:56Oh, um, this is it.
40:59My letter to Solomon.
41:01I've got it off my chest.
41:03Did it help?
41:07Er, yeah, it did, actually.
41:09Sophie, you know what I realised?
41:11I want...
41:12No.
41:14I need my space from it.
41:18I'm so sorry, sir.
41:20No, no, no, it's all good.
41:21It's for the best.
41:22I just needed a little time to accept you.
41:25That's all.
41:28Where is everyone?
41:30Following a lead.
41:31If Sophie Martin was outside Madame Rourou's house that night,
41:35it's possible she followed her to the party.
41:38So we went through the photos online.
41:41And look at this one.
41:48Yes, she does look about the right age that Sophie will be.
41:51An uninvited guest.
41:53The waiter said she got into a green VW camper van.
41:57And luckily, Matty knows the one garage that fixes them.
42:04Yeah, talk with the devil.
42:07We think we found Sophie.
42:08So someone matching her description came into the garage last week.
42:12Goes by the name of Calypso.
42:14Said she normally parks up by Coral Beach.
42:17We need to get there pronto.
42:18You already here, sir?
42:20You got an eyeball.
42:25I hearing you good?
42:26You think that I'm that shy girl's mother?
42:30You're mad.
42:31I don't even know this woman you're talking about.
42:35Then why did you sneak into the party that night?
42:38Just passing.
42:40Felt thirsty.
42:41It's not a crime.
42:43No.
42:43The stalking is.
42:45See, our theory is you are Sophie Martin.
42:48You assumed a new identity to come to St. Marie
42:51and enact revenge on Hortense Leroux.
42:53Starting with Phil's threatening text messages.
42:57I just like to stay off grid.
43:00That's all.
43:00We should be free to roam, as the birds do.
43:04You know we can trace the SIM to the shop you bought it in.
43:07Check their CCTV.
43:10Okay.
43:11Here's the truth.
43:13That woman you're talking about, Sophie Martin,
43:17that ain't me.
43:18But those texts?
43:23I sent him.
43:24Not for the reason you think, though.
43:26Why then?
43:28Two months ago,
43:29I sent dear Hortense a letter.
43:33Hortense told me to cut my mother out of my life.
43:37Toxic mothers shouldn't be allowed to act that way, she said.
43:41A bit hypocritical coming from her.
43:43I did what she said.
43:45Know what?
43:47My mother died.
43:49Alone in her bed.
43:51If I hadn't listened to that loud-mouthed woman,
43:53I would have been there.
43:54That must have made you angry.
43:56Not enough to kill her.
43:58I wanted to scare her.
44:00Make her suffer.
44:02The same way I've been suffering.
44:04Walking about this earth with a perfect life.
44:07Little care for the people whose life she ruins.
44:17Miss Jones,
44:18no disrespect, but
44:21it kind of seems like you're more angry at yourself.
44:26Look, I'm no expert,
44:28but
44:29it doesn't help to
44:31hold on to things.
44:46So we're still having a scooby,
44:48how the killer pulled off this murder.
44:50A stack of six papers,
44:51and they managed to poison one,
44:53and have it delivered practically straight into Hortense Leroux's hands.
44:56And let's not forget about the egg.
44:58What happened that morning to make her ruin a perfectly good breakfast?
45:02Sir.
45:03Hold that thought.
45:04I'm late.
45:08I'll be back.
45:16How do you feel?
45:19Better.
45:21Definitely better.
45:23I mean, everything here is just,
45:27you know, gone.
45:29All I need to do now is post it.
45:31Well done.
45:34Now,
45:35can we talk a little more about your life here?
45:38How long have you got?
45:40About half an hour.
45:42No, I meant...
45:50She timed it.
45:52Where did she take it out?
45:55And the egg,
45:56how long did she cook it for?
45:57Dreaming it, social?
45:58He then cycled straight here,
46:00delivered the newspaper to Madame Leroux at 7.15 a.m.
46:04Sorry, the little man doesn't like strangers.
46:07There were no fingerprints found on Hortense's glasses.
46:10I wanted to scare her.
46:12I wanted her to suffer the same way I'd been suffering.
46:14Of course.
46:16That's the reason why.
46:17Why what?
46:18The egg was hard-boiled.
46:20I can see everything clearly now.
46:26Thanks for your patience.
46:29I know who the killer is.
46:30I know how they did it.
46:31Those photos from the Paris police,
46:33have they come through?
46:34Just in.
46:35Right, we need a search warrant.
46:37And then we can have a little family reunion.
46:46Agony Arts are known for giving advice
46:48to help solve difficult problems.
46:51However,
46:52I doubt they've ever been asked to advise on a problem
46:54as difficult as this one.
46:56Hortense Leroux was poisoned.
46:59Effectively by her own column.
47:01But we had no idea
47:03how the killer managed to poison the newspaper
47:05and get it delivered straight to her.
47:08When the paper boy
47:09took one at random
47:11from his stack.
47:13But,
47:13with the help of a hard-boiled egg...
47:16Not this again.
47:18We finally cracked it.
47:22You, Kim.
47:23It was you
47:24who murdered Hortense.
47:26Me?
47:27No.
47:28I told you,
47:29I was telling the truth.
47:30As Miss Leroux's housekeeper,
47:32you knew her morning routine.
47:34That she liked to read her column
47:36whilst having her breakfast.
47:38You also knew
47:39that Clayton drops the paper
47:41on the porch
47:42at 7.15am
47:43and Papillon
47:45barks to alert Hortense
47:46as he always does
47:48when someone's at the door.
47:50So, earlier that morning,
47:51you went to another newsagent
47:53and bought a copy
47:55of the St. Marie News.
47:57Let's call this
47:58Paper A.
47:59You then laced the problem page
48:01with cone snail poison.
48:03Something you knew about
48:05from Hortense's fear
48:06of her dog getting stung by one.
48:08My mum was always
48:09baronite he gets stung.
48:10Then you dropped Paper A
48:12onto the porch
48:13some time before
48:14Clayton usually arrived.
48:16Hortense must have been
48:18in the middle of
48:19preparing her breakfast.
48:21Papillon barked as normal,
48:23so she went outside
48:25to collect the newspaper
48:26she thought had
48:27just been delivered.
48:32She went back
48:33into the kitchen,
48:33eager to see
48:34if her request
48:35to change her final column
48:37had been carried out.
48:38In doing so,
48:39she came into contact
48:40with the poison
48:41and subsequently died.
48:44A painful death
48:45by all accounts.
48:48You then came into the house
48:50through the back
48:53and put on Hortense's
48:55purple gown,
48:56a wig matching her hair
48:57with a purple headband.
48:59And finally,
49:00the item that was
49:02unmistakably Hortense,
49:04her statement,
49:06purple glasses.
49:07As usual,
49:09at 7.15,
49:10Clayton delivered
49:11the newspaper,
49:12Paper B,
49:13and Papillon barked.
49:16Kim,
49:16now dressed as Hortense,
49:18opened the door
49:19and waved to him.
49:20As Clayton cycled away,
49:22he wouldn't have known
49:23that it was in fact you
49:24waving at him
49:25and not Hortense.
49:26You then came back
49:28into the kitchen
49:29and returned Miss LaRue's glasses,
49:31wiping away any prints first.
49:35Now we come to the egg
49:37and your ultimate downfall.
49:39You see,
49:40in your haste to stage
49:42the scene before Esme arrived,
49:44you almost forgot Miss LaRue's egg
49:45was still boiling away
49:46on the stove.
49:47You needed everything
49:49to look exactly as it should,
49:51to fit the timeline
49:52of Hortense making breakfast,
49:54then reading her column.
49:56So,
49:57you hurriedly took
49:58the now hard-boiled egg
50:00out of the pan
50:01and clumsily
50:02put it in the egg cup.
50:03Then you left the house
50:05through the back
50:06the same way you came,
50:07got into your car
50:09that was parked
50:10around the corner
50:10and drove around the front
50:12to time perfectly
50:13with Esme's arrival.
50:16You later
50:19disposed of
50:20paper B
50:21and the wig
50:22at your home.
50:24We found these
50:25in the bin on your street.
50:27An audacious
50:28yet brilliant plan.
50:31But
50:31why go to such lengths?
50:36Kim Woods
50:37isn't your real name,
50:39is it?
50:40You are in fact
50:42Sophie Martin.
50:4530 years ago,
50:47Sophie Martin
50:48moved to Paris
50:49from the UK
50:50with her boyfriend
50:51who was escaping
50:52some trouble back home.
50:54She was living
50:55in a commune
50:56in Montmartre
50:57and it's there
50:58she met Hortense,
51:00an ambitious writer.
51:02Sophie
51:05was a drug addict
51:07with a newborn baby.
51:11You were doing
51:11your best,
51:12no doubt,
51:13but from what we now
51:14know about Miss LaRue,
51:16she had a saviour complex.
51:18Through our
51:19undercover investigation,
51:21we discovered
51:22her secret.
51:24Hortense stole
51:25your baby
51:25in the night
51:27and went as far
51:28away as she could
51:31to St. Marie.
51:34That baby was you,
51:36Esme.
51:38You're my mother.
51:42Hortense
51:42was my friend
51:44and she offered
51:46to look after you
51:47and yes,
51:49I was struggling
51:50but I loved you
51:51so much
51:53and then one morning
51:55I woke up
51:55and you was gone
51:56and I didn't sleep the day
51:58searching for you.
52:01But then you found out
52:02Hortense was here,
52:04didn't you?
52:05Through her column.
52:07So all those years ago,
52:09you wrote this letter
52:11to dear Hortense.
52:13The same letter
52:14Hortense wanted to publish
52:16at the very last minute
52:19for her final issue.
52:21I wanted her to know
52:22I was coming for her.
52:24Then you were arrested?
52:26The guy I was going out
52:28with at the time,
52:28he told the police
52:29that I was involved
52:30in an armed robbery
52:32and someone got
52:32really badly hurt
52:34and it was all lies.
52:35I had nothing to do with it.
52:38He was not a good man
52:39and I didn't get a chance
52:41to send the letter.
52:43It put me away for years.
52:46Time after time,
52:47my parole was refused
52:49and I lost all hope
52:50until one day
52:52I finally got myself together,
52:54got myself clean.
52:56That day came
52:58and I knew what I had to do.
53:01I had to find you
53:03and hurt Hortense
53:04for what she'd done.
53:06I came to St. Marie.
53:09First place I went
53:10was the newsagent
53:10and I saw the ad
53:11for her housekeeper.
53:13It felt like fate.
53:15Come in.
53:17You've ided your time
53:19working out
53:20the perfect murder plan.
53:21But when Hortense
53:23received your letter,
53:25she must have known
53:26you were gunning for her.
53:28You read her response.
53:30She didn't regret it.
53:33Not one bit.
53:37Esme,
53:38I don't expect you
53:39to forgive me.
53:40But I would really like you
53:41to understand
53:42that what she did
53:44destroyed me.
53:47Killing her
53:48was the only way
53:49I could ever
53:50have a relationship
53:51with you.
53:53Officer Rose?
53:56Sophie Martin,
53:58I'm arresting you
53:59for the murder of
54:00Hortense Leroux.
54:01You don't need to say
54:02anything,
54:03but it may harm
54:03your defense.
54:04If you do not mention
54:04when questioned,
54:06something that you later
54:06are lying on in court.
54:08You think you do say
54:09may be given
54:09in evidence.
54:11So my whole life
54:13has been alive.
54:16Hortense's love
54:17for you.
54:19That was real.
54:20I don't know.
54:55I don't know.
55:21Hey.
55:25Can I help you?
55:29Mervyn, yeah?
55:31Yeah?
55:33Didn't you hear me, Nack?
55:34No, I was sleeping, actually.
55:37Deeply.
55:38You're older than I imagined.
55:41Sorry, who are you?
55:43Just one second.
55:45Come on.
55:46Just give it up, man.
55:50Finally!
55:51Stupid boy's been holding out.
55:54And all he's got is a pair of sixes.
55:57Amateur.
55:59Is that a gambling app?
56:01I don't think you should be playing there.
56:02Don't sweat it.
56:04It's cool.
56:06Dad said you were a goody-goody, but I guess that comes with a jab, right?
56:10Okay, stop.
56:11Yeah?
56:12Now, you tell me right now who you are, who your dad is, and what you're doing on my property,
56:17or I'm arresting you for trespass.
56:19And you being a detective, it's me, Eloise, your niece.
56:26Sorry, what?
56:27Your niece, Eloise, did Dad not mention me to you?
56:33No, no one mentioned you.
56:39Well, I'm sure he was going to.
56:42He's a busy guy, you know.
56:44Lot on his plate.
56:48So, what would you prefer when I call you?
56:52Uncle Marvin?
56:54Uncle Merv?
56:56Just Merv?
57:01What's for breakfast?
57:09Hey, don't touch anything.
57:13This is the closest I've come to actually seeing it.
57:16The Lusker.
57:16Sorry, what?
57:17It's a sea monster.
57:18Some people are saying that's what killed him.
57:20I would like to do my bit to try and solve this case, Mom.
57:24We need to work out a plan, Uncle Merv, to find evidence that proves he's innocent.
57:28I should just tell her the truth.
57:30Giles was convinced the Lusker took their son.
57:33That's why he stayed on here.
57:34To try and prove the Lusker exists.
57:37I can't believe we're going on a monster hunt.
57:40The Lusker?
57:40Macy!
57:42Kursi!
57:45Kursi!
57:57Kursi!
57:59Kursi!
58:00Kauri!
58:04Kursi!
