00:15I'll get them coming in.
00:17You go around the back and get some photos of the church as per the mood board.
00:20They'll be ready by the main doors.
00:22The mood board?
00:23The other day?
00:24The real deal is that, I tell you now.
00:27Leave it alone.
00:28Fine.
00:30Sorry, sorry.
00:31Could you get some shots of me from the other side?
00:33It's just my nose looks a bit snouty from the right.
00:36You feel all right, love?
00:37Yeah, I could say.
00:38Where wouldn't it be?
00:39Well, you know, last me cheaters.
00:40You like Tara?
00:41Yeah, I do.
00:42He's just a bit uptight, didn't he?
00:43What?
00:43Oh, lovely lad.
00:44Quite a bit.
00:45Welcome to the family.
00:46What about now?
00:48Dad.
00:49What?
00:50Your battery's dead.
00:51For God's sake, Ashley.
00:52No body.
00:54Dad.
00:55There's a dead body.
00:59And my battery's dead.
01:02Always feels more of a waste when they're this young.
01:05And fit.
01:06Is that inappropriate?
01:07Very.
01:08No.
01:09Well, this must be where all the local teenagers come to drink.
01:12Swell, posh.
01:13It's a bottle of Pinot Noir, there.
01:15Whatever happens to strong cider and spewing?
01:17Yeah, it's today.
01:18You can't even get hammered properly.
01:20Sorry I'm late.
01:21I've been with the chief super I have.
01:22She called me in to praise me.
01:23Praise?
01:24You?
01:25Yeah.
01:25She's impressed by our recent clearance race.
01:27She thinks I'm rubbing off on you.
01:28That's pretty much all me.
01:30Police work's a team game, Malwan.
01:32You might put them in the back of the net,
01:33but I'm there in the dugout.
01:34Picking the team.
01:36Choosing the formation.
01:38Anyway, I thought I'd come and help you out.
01:39What have we got?
01:41We have got Gethin Benyon, best man,
01:43ran a digital marketing company with the groom
01:46called Alto Ignite Digital Marketing.
01:49Apparently they're brand building disruptors.
01:52Well, I want to kill him myself.
01:55Time of death?
01:56Body temperature suggests either late last night
01:58or early hours of the morning.
01:59You were staying in the rental cottage over there
02:01with the groom's party.
02:02That's the groom, Aaron James, and his brother, Nathan.
02:06Right.
02:07Cause of death?
02:08He might have been involved in a struggle.
02:09Could have fallen or was pushed.
02:11He certainly hit his head on a gravestone.
02:13Bam.
02:14What was he doing in the church yet?
02:15Not sure.
02:16No CCTV from the church,
02:18but I've got Chowdhury asking round
02:19to see if anyone else caught something.
02:20But one of the glass panels
02:23on the church's side door was smashed.
02:25Ah.
02:25So, we're thinking,
02:27you saw someone trying to break in from next door,
02:29a have-a-go hero.
02:30I don't know.
02:31This is hardly a crime hotspot.
02:33Something's off.
02:34It's like,
02:35you know when you're watching Married at First Sight
02:37and they're like,
02:38I'm ready for commitment.
02:39And you're like,
02:40no, you're not ready for commitment.
02:42What?
02:42It just looks staged.
02:44Obvious.
02:46Is this going to take much longer?
02:47Just a few more questions.
02:48I need to speak to the church.
02:50See if they can rearrange for later in the week.
02:52Get your speech out of my face, Nathan.
02:54Rearrange?
02:54You're not going to cancel.
02:55Why do people keep asking that?
02:57It won't make a difference
02:58if we wait a week or a year.
03:00My best man's still not going to be here.
03:02At least this way,
03:03it feels like Gethan's still involved.
03:04You know,
03:04he really contributed a lot to the project.
03:06You call your wedding a project.
03:08This isn't just an ordinary wedding.
03:10It's a digital marketing super event.
03:12They had clients from everywhere coming.
03:14Cardiff, London, Lincoln.
03:16LinkedIn.
03:17Would I know someone from Lincoln?
03:19Uh, didn't your fiancé mind her wedding
03:21being turned into a digital thingy thing thing thing?
03:25No.
03:26Sean Ed's invited potential clients too.
03:28Yeah, she runs a local gallery.
03:29It's great.
03:30It means we could write off
03:31most of the cost as business expenses.
03:33Wow.
03:33What every girl dreams of.
03:36Is there anything else
03:37we should know about Gethan?
03:38How did he see him yesterday?
03:40It was a bit weird.
03:42We were meant to have a meal
03:43in the pub,
03:43but he didn't show.
03:44Spent most of the day in his room.
03:45Interesting.
03:46Oh, my notebook's full.
03:48Let me just, um...
03:50It's okay.
03:50It's okay.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Um,
03:56room
03:56or
03:57day.
03:58Got it.
03:59Um, did you see him last night?
04:01No.
04:01I was in my room all night.
04:03I heard him, though.
04:04Yeah, it was, uh,
04:06half twelve.
04:06It woke me up
04:07running the taps in his bathroom.
04:11Well,
04:11thank you for your time.
04:13And
04:13do you happen to know
04:14if there's a W.H. Smith
04:16in the area?
04:17It's just, yeah,
04:17not ideal.
04:22You?
04:25Alan,
04:27you hardly touched
04:28your breakfast.
04:30Use a high-end
04:31marinade of salmon flakes, mate.
04:33Don't come cheat.
04:36You're not right,
04:37are you?
04:39Today's main headline.
04:40Police investigating
04:41the murder of
04:42Gepin Benyon
04:43in Quichelle
04:43on Thursday.
04:44Have appealed for
04:45residents to come forward
04:46with any information
04:47that may aid
04:48the investigation.
04:50Midwell's police
04:50have faced that
04:51despite a number of these.
04:52They are currently
04:53no closer to
04:54an arrest.
04:55If you do have
04:56any information
04:57that you've
04:58sent them to the kitchen,
04:59the...
04:59the killer
05:00shoved him
05:01and splat
05:01brains all over
05:02the headstone.
05:04You know,
05:05that macchiato hour
05:06should be a sacred time.
05:08Don't mind me
05:09joining, do you?
05:10Mum,
05:11this is private
05:11police business.
05:12Oh, no, I'm here.
05:13Just popped in
05:13for any bill.
05:14And I have
05:15one of them
05:15chocolate pans,
05:16please, love.
05:17Chocolate pan?
05:18It's a pan of chocolate
05:19I've tried.
05:20Right.
05:21This is the bride and groom
05:22and this is the victim.
05:24Gethin Benyon,
05:2532, male,
05:266 foot 3.
05:27I don't need
05:27his measurements.
05:28I need to know
05:28about the man,
05:29how he thinks,
05:30his preoccupations,
05:31how he breathes.
05:31Well, he doesn't
05:32breathe anymore
05:32because he's dead
05:33and the happy couple
05:34are off on their
05:35honeymoon soon,
05:35so we have to act quick.
05:37Well, are you going
05:37home at the wedding?
05:39The blessed man's
05:40not cold yet,
05:40like he doesn't
05:41clash at a funeral.
05:43Right, okay,
05:44so you say the
05:46murder was
05:47face to face.
05:48Intimate,
05:48what was it?
05:49Planned,
05:50planned.
05:50No, no,
05:51no,
05:51it was not close.
05:52This is a nice passion.
05:54Secret perhaps
05:55come to light
05:55in the darkness
05:56of the graveyard.
05:58Yes,
05:59that's interesting,
05:59Sharon.
06:00And now,
06:00Mother's charity,
06:01man.
06:02My mental faculties
06:06are all present
06:06and correct.
06:07Thank you,
06:08Yvonne.
06:09Now,
06:10let's have a look.
06:11Ah,
06:12best man's speech.
06:13Anything
06:14interesting in this?
06:15Nothing,
06:16except for the
06:16dangerous level of pants,
06:17though one of the
06:18cards was missing.
06:19We think he must
06:20have lost it.
06:21Well,
06:21thank goodness
06:22the meticulously
06:23thorough armor
06:23of the law
06:24is on the case.
06:24No,
06:24no,
06:25no,
06:25no,
06:25no,
06:25no.
06:26No,
06:26look at this.
06:27Look,
06:27you see these,
06:28look.
06:29Some actors,
06:30proper actors,
06:30do the same.
06:31Mark,
06:31which words to
06:32emphasize,
06:33where to leave
06:34a dramatic pause.
06:35Isn't that?
06:36But it's fastidious.
06:36these are not
06:37the preparations
06:37of a man
06:38that would just
06:39mislay an important
06:40part of his speech,
06:41his big moment.
06:42No,
06:42this card has been
06:43stolen.
06:44This speech
06:44is significant.
06:47You're right,
06:48the speech was
06:49significant.
06:50Well,
06:50it's a gift,
06:51you know.
06:52No,
06:52no,
06:52not this speech.
06:54Nathan,
06:54the brother,
06:56he had a speech
06:57printed out.
06:58Why?
06:58Unless he knew
06:59he was going to
07:00be the new best man.
07:02I'll have that
07:03chocolate pan
07:03to take away,
07:04love.
07:04Are you off?
07:05I'll come with you.
07:06As you're going
07:07to Cuma Shell,
07:07that's where my vets are.
07:08I'll be going by mine
07:09and pick him up.
07:10Alan's off his food.
07:11Alan?
07:12Stray Cathy,
07:13I'll be meaningful,
07:14apparently.
07:14Shout out to Castle,
07:15now.
07:16I'll get this,
07:17shall I?
07:20Pryanon,
07:21Jeannie,
07:23Pryanon,
07:24Yvonne,
07:26John Chappell.
07:27Hello.
07:30Can I get a
07:31latte, please,
07:32with oat milk?
07:34I have IBS.
07:35I can't have dairy.
07:37I'm the same
07:38as lentils.
07:39Tell me like
07:39a washing machine.
07:40Mum, come on.
07:46Bit of a peculiar vibe.
07:48Sense in history,
07:49though.
07:49Who was that?
07:50Nobody.
07:51Pryanon Hopkins.
07:52She's got some nerves
07:53showing her face
07:53around here again
07:54after what she did to you.
07:55Mum!
07:56Made her life hell.
07:58I'd half a mind
07:58to give her
07:58a right telling off
07:59in there.
08:00Well, you didn't.
08:00You chatted about lentils,
08:02so drop it.
08:03Mum, what are you doing?
08:04Why can't I come?
08:05I love weddings.
08:06This isn't a wedding,
08:07it's a murder investigation.
08:09And a taxi service
08:10for cats, apparently.
08:11Well, we'll get a taxi
08:12licence with his
08:13rolling scrappy.
08:18Have a good murder.
08:30sick everywhere.
08:31You told me he was
08:32a seasoned traveller.
08:33I'm sorry,
08:34but I probably found
08:35your driving alarming
08:36and he's not alone.
08:37Anyway,
08:38sensitivity,
08:38he's not well.
08:40It's underpowered.
08:41Well, he can get
08:41the bus home.
08:42My backseat
08:43will never be the same again.
08:44And while we're here,
08:45no talking to my suspects.
08:46Keep a low profile,
08:47okay?
08:48You off the telly,
08:49is it?
08:49Oh, crap.
08:50It is you, isn't it?
08:52Caesar,
08:52I always loved you
08:54in that Vision Express
08:55advert years ago.
08:56This was murder.
08:57It's clear to see.
08:59Oh, yes, yes.
09:00It was my finest hour.
09:02You're not going
09:03to be finished soon.
09:04All these police
09:05come-ins and go-ins.
09:06It's disturbing the badgers.
09:07Badgers?
09:08I'm the head
09:08of the commercial
09:09badger watches.
09:10We get very rare
09:11badgers around here.
09:12Only ever since
09:12this murder,
09:13there's been no sign
09:14of them.
09:14All gone underground.
09:16Don't they live underground?
09:18Another enthusiast,
09:19is it?
09:19Sorry,
09:19got to go.
09:20Proper police business
09:21to be doing.
09:22What,
09:22all three of them?
09:24Oh, yes.
09:24Yes,
09:25he's a very highly trained
09:27FSO.
09:28Feline special operative.
09:36Oh, sorry.
09:37Sorry.
09:39Let me jump.
09:40Not nervous, are you?
09:41No.
09:42All good.
09:43Just a busy, busy day.
09:45God, your boot is clean.
09:46What do you clean it with?
09:47I only ask
09:48because my car's
09:49covered in cut-sick.
09:51Car shampoo.
09:52Yeah, coconut.
09:54Oh, yes.
09:55Smells like pina coladas.
09:57All ready for the
09:57best man speech?
09:59Honestly,
10:00I'm bricking it.
10:01Didn't you have a speech
10:02ready on the morning
10:03of the wedding?
10:04Almost like you
10:05knew Gethin
10:05wasn't going to
10:06turn up or something.
10:07No,
10:07I just,
10:09I wrote it weeks ago.
10:10Just wanted to be prepared
10:11in case Aaron
10:12changed his mind.
10:14Do you know
10:14what I smell,
10:15Nathan?
10:15Apart from the
10:16properly lush
10:17coconut aromas.
10:18Honestly,
10:18you're going to have
10:18to tell me
10:19where you get
10:19that car shampoo.
10:20No,
10:21what I smell
10:21is somebody lying.
10:25All right.
10:26I thought
10:27he'd ask me
10:27to be best man.
10:28I mean,
10:28I'm his brother.
10:29Gethin
10:30was a tool.
10:31But Aaron
10:31never saw it.
10:32Even when Gethin
10:33got chucked out of uni,
10:34Aaron still thought
10:35he was a legend.
10:35You really
10:36didn't like him.
10:37No,
10:37it's not just me.
10:38Sean had
10:39didn't like him.
10:40She thought
10:40I should be best man too.
10:42I mean,
10:42why would you
10:43choose him
10:43over your own brother?
10:44Because he was hot.
10:45It's good for the photos.
10:46Sorry.
10:46Shouldn't have said
10:47that out loud.
10:47But,
10:48um,
10:48hey,
10:49you're the
10:50best man now
10:51and that's
10:52all that matters.
10:54Yeah.
10:54Yeah.
10:55Don't mess it up.
10:58Joking.
10:59Or am I?
11:00I am.
11:02I am.
11:14Oh,
11:15yeah,
11:16that's,

11:25of my own there.

11:27Yeah,
11:27no,
11:28I was just
11:29admiring this
11:29superb
11:31Kioskuro.
11:32Yeah,
11:33yes,
11:33I could

11:35behind each
11:35brushstroke.
11:37Oh,

11:53Well,
11:53I thought I'd pop in
11:54and see if I could find
11:55something that really
11:57speaks to me.
11:58I mean,
11:59most people just want
12:00something to match the curtains.
12:01I bet they do,
12:03yeah.
12:03Now,
12:03I've always been fascinated
12:05by how,
12:06how fine art painting
12:08and fine art performing
12:09are related.
12:10We both strive
12:11to reveal the concealed truth
12:12of human contradictions,
12:14don't you think?
12:15Oh,
12:16God,

12:47the bigger issue
12:48is the best man
12:49dropping out
12:49because he's dead.
12:54Sorry,
12:54um,
12:55ignore me,
12:56it's just,
12:56uh,
12:57been a lot to take in.
12:58Uh,
12:59I heard about it on the news.
13:00I'm sorry,
13:01it must have been
13:02a terrible shock for you.
13:04Yeah,
13:04I mean,
13:04if it was up to me,
13:05we'd wait,
13:06you know,
13:06and do things properly,
13:07but,
13:08um,
13:08well,
13:08as you know,
13:09maybe that's worse,
13:10like we're forgetting him
13:12or something.
13:13Um,
13:13oh,
13:14sorry,
13:15um,
13:15I don't even like gassing.
13:17No,
13:17no,
13:18no,
13:18I,
13:18I understand.
13:19You're an artist.
13:21We feel things
13:22too deeply.
13:23It's an affliction.
13:26Um,
13:27right,
13:27why don't we do
13:28a private viewing?
13:29Oh.
13:30Lose ourselves
13:30in some art.
13:33I knew I had my money
13:34from the very beginning
13:36Cacious opportunity
13:37so you and me
13:39could look at
13:40If you're ready
13:41Mmm,
13:43catsick and coconut.
13:45Better.
13:51Chowdhury?
13:52Janie,
13:52I've been looking
13:53into Gethin Benyon's
13:54financials
13:54like you asked.
13:55Anything interesting?
13:56Two weeks ago,
13:57Gethin Benyon
13:57paid a classic car company
13:59two grand
14:00to hire the wedding car.
14:01He had.
14:01I think he'd be
14:02the father of the bride
14:03we pay in.
14:03He was.
14:04I took a statement
14:05from Chris Grant
14:05who paid Gethin
14:06to hire the wedding car.
14:08But he paid him
14:09four grand,
14:10not two.
14:11Did he know?
14:15Chris Grant?
14:16Yep.
14:17Dear Smolawen,
14:18Trebassi ID.
14:19I know you.
14:22You're the
14:22Carpet King.
14:25I remember your advert.
14:26Underlay, underlay.
14:27Offer ends tomorrow.
14:28You're king.
14:29Come on, Zee.
14:30My mum had one of your carpets.
14:31Really?
14:32You say names, Molawen?
14:33Yeah.
14:33Yeah, I remember it well.
14:35Lupel, penthouse grey.
14:36Good carpet.
14:36Good choice.
14:37Wow.
14:37Nice one.
14:38Anyway,
14:39what can I do to you, look?
14:40Oh, just tying up
14:41a few loose ends.
14:43You paid Gethin
14:44for the wedding car?
14:45Yeah.
14:46Yeah, he said
14:47he'd get me a deal,
14:48you know.
14:48Save a bit on the tax.
14:50Shouldn't be saying
14:50that to a copper,
14:51but you seem all right.
14:52Can't believe
14:52the Carpet King
14:53thinks I'm all right.
14:54Oh, fuss it.
14:57Yeah, thing is, though,
14:58you paid him four thousand
14:59and he only paid two.
15:02He was ripping you off.
15:04Really?
15:07You know,
15:08he was a slimy little get.
15:10Shaunie wasn't a fan.
15:11He had a massive fallout
15:12with Orange Brother
15:13the night of the Stag.
15:14Yeah, he probably
15:14had all this coming.
15:15I shouldn't have told you
15:16that either.
15:16Well, anyway, so...
15:18Pretty careless.
15:19You've thrown your money around.
15:21The king should be more careful
15:22with the royal coin.
15:24Sorry, I'm annoying myself.
15:26Where were you
15:26the night of the murder?
15:28Oh.
15:29Um, well,
15:30staying with Shaunie
15:31until after the wedding.
15:32And Shaunie can verify
15:33your movements?
15:34Yeah, until about nine o'clock.
15:36She's been going up
15:37early since I've been here.
15:38She says I've got to tell you
15:39I'm too loud.
15:39She goes up with her earplugs in
15:41between you and me.
15:42I think I'm getting
15:43on her wick a bit.
15:44Oh, for you.
15:45Your Majesty.
15:46Sorry, sorry.
15:47I know, I know
15:47you're not a real king.
15:48You're not...
15:49Anyway, she's a grown woman.
15:51She doesn't want me
15:51under her feet.
15:52So, sorry, temporary.
15:54Like one of these
15:55sad adults
15:56that live around
15:56with their parents, eh?
15:58Yeah, I still live
15:59with my mum.
16:05Look at that.
16:05Yep, well,
16:06I'll be late for A8.
16:08Yeah, got a faulty carburetor.
16:11Yeah, no, I'm not alcoholic.
16:13So.
16:15There we are.
16:16Well, all the best.
16:18Good luck with you all.
16:18Thanks.
16:21It's not forever
16:22living with my mum.
16:24Just, just saving
16:25until I've got the deposit.
16:26Yeah.
16:27I'm going to start looking
16:28at her flat.
16:28Pretty, pretty...
16:29He's gone.
16:30Gone.
16:33It's very striking.
16:36Sean had felt that I
16:38really responded to it
16:39viscerally.
16:40All right, Van Gogh.
16:41I told you to stay away
16:42from me, suspect.
16:43A transparent cry for help.
16:45Couldn't have made it clearer
16:46that subconsciously
16:47you wanted me involved.
16:48Luckily for you,
16:48I found an elegant way
16:49to do so.
16:50Oh, by spending a fortune
16:51on a painting of squares.
16:52Lifting the veil
16:53on a bride's true character
16:54and invigorating conversation
16:55on the contemporary arts
16:56as merely an added bonus.
16:57Oh, I bet.
16:59Pretty woman telling you
17:00what amazing taste
17:00you have in paint mobs.
17:02Of course,
17:02you don't understand.
17:04You're barbarian.
17:04Yeah, it must have been
17:05a nice change
17:05from all the trivial chats
17:07with me about murder.
17:08Do you want to know
17:08what I found out?
17:09Well, please,
17:10furnish me
17:10with your rudimentary deductions.
17:12Why are you being
17:13more rude than normal?
17:14Because somebody's keeping me
17:15from my morning double espresso.
17:18It's in my cafe hour
17:19and you know
17:19I don't like changing my schedule.
17:20But no,
17:21we have to meet here
17:22because you're avoiding
17:22some girl from the past.
17:23This has nothing to do
17:24with Rhiannon, okay?
17:26So just zip it and listen.
17:28Now,
17:29Gethin was ripping off
17:30the father of the bride
17:32for two grand.
17:34Well?
17:36Mildly interesting, yes.
17:38Yes, it tells us a little
17:39about Gethin's psychology,
17:40but a petty cash crime.
17:42No, no, it's something true
17:46as a motive.
17:46But the real enigma here
17:49is the groom charging her
17:50with the wedding.
17:51Yes, Sharon.
17:52Aaron did just lose his best mate.
17:54People can get a bit weird
17:55when something like that happens.
17:56But still, it's hardly fitting
17:57for what's meant to be
17:58the happiest day of your life.
17:59No, it's Aaron's behaviour
18:01doesn't add up here.
18:03Now I shall dive a little deeper.
18:06Sean had later.
18:07No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
18:08You're not seeing her again.
18:11Hmm, could be tricky.
18:13Oh, thank you so much.
18:14This is going to be amazing
18:15for my portfolio.
18:16Oh, please.
18:18No, it's a pleasure still mine.
18:21So,
18:23where would you like me to face?
18:27I don't want to interfere
18:28with your choices,
18:29but I have been told that
18:33this is my most impactful side.
18:37Yeah, lush.
18:39This already feels like
18:41a really fruitful collaboration.
18:43I don't...
18:45Right.
18:46Pop your clothes on the stool.
18:51I didn't think
18:52that we were going to...
18:54I'm joking.
18:55Your face.
18:56Oh.
18:58Shake it off as a kind of him.
19:01Well, can you try it?
19:03She's got 14 Grammys.
19:04I think the Lord would approve.
19:06Hello?
19:07Hello?
19:09What is a...
19:11I don't know you.
19:13Were you at Cardiff Digital Marketing
19:15first, last year?
19:16Alas, no, I missed it.
19:18This is John Chappell,
19:19the actor.
19:20He's famous.
19:22Oh.
19:23Oh, of course.
19:24Yeah, from the...
19:25film?
19:26He's letting me paint him.
19:29The week of our wedding?
19:30Sean, how long's that going to take?
19:31Well, it takes as long as it takes.
19:32It's art.
19:33I can't put a time on these things.
19:34It's the focus all over again.
19:36Ah, here we go.
19:37Focus.
19:39Gaffin helped me buy a second-hand car last year,
19:41but I was too indecisive for someone.
19:43Ah.
19:44Demon of indecision.
19:46Interestingly, I once must have visited
19:47every showroom in Wales.
19:48You know what?
19:49I can't create with your energy in here.
19:51Why are you creating?
19:54It's best to be a very difficult time for you both.
19:57Losing a friend.
19:58It's grief.
19:59It's all a different...
20:00Yeah, there's no time to grief.
20:01Wedding, honeymoon, back to work.
20:03Digital marketing doesn't stop because someone died.
20:05Yeah, I imagine yours is a very tough industry.
20:09Balls to the wall, high pressure.
20:12Yeah.
20:13Yeah, it's 24-7, 365.
20:14I've always thought I'd be good in marketing.
20:17You know, yeah,
20:18that ability to grasp the true desire of the human heart,
20:21to turn a mere object into a collective symbol
20:24of our deepest hopes and dreams.
20:27Yeah.
20:28Funny tweets help, too.
20:31Oh, sorry.
20:32Caterers.
20:33Hello?
20:34Yes, if you're telling me you can't turn around
20:36a four-tier wedding sponge in 24 hours
20:38and hang up, Homory.
20:43Sorry about him.
20:44He's under a lot of pressure.
20:46Actually, he's always like that.
20:48I see.
20:49Okay, where were we?
20:51So, Chowdhury, how's the CCTV?
20:53How's it going?
20:54Yeah, really boring.
20:55It's like watching a telly
20:56without knowing what the programme is.
20:58Keep trying.
20:59Ooh, turns out our victim was chucked out of uni.
21:01See if you can find out why.
21:04Are you checking your socials?
21:05Not mine.
21:07Apparently, Gethin and the groom's brother
21:09fell out on the stag too.
21:11Legends on Tour 2025.
21:14Sick.
21:15Ooh.
21:16Is Nathan...
21:17Wept himself.
21:18Yeah.
21:18Looks like it.
21:19Why do men do that on stag doos?
21:22Don't all wet ourselves.
21:23Every stag doos I've come back from dry as a bone.
21:26Actually, there was one time right,
21:28but I didn't think anyone would see it.
21:29Oh, thank God.
21:31Hi.
21:32Yeah.
21:32Coming now.
21:33Never, ever tell me the end of that story, okay?
21:35Gotcha.
21:36Cause of death, brain damage,
21:39is the result of a fractured skull
21:40due to a severe blow to the head.
21:42Now, a couple of interesting things about our Gethin.
21:45What time did she save us up using the toilet?
21:47The groom and his brother heard him in his bathroom
21:49running at taps at half midnight.
21:51Yeah, well, they're talking like they're arse.
21:53I can be more precise about the time of death.
21:57His watch was smashed during the incident.
21:59It stopped at 11.30.
22:00Really?
22:02What else?
22:04His stomach contents.
22:05He had a lot of laxatives in his system.
22:07We're talking a lot.
22:09I'm surprised we can't see
22:10Armitage Shanks imprinted on his arse
22:11the amount of time he must have spent on the toilet.
22:14Hmm.
22:16Maybe.
22:19Yeah, I think I know who's behind this.
22:21Oh, you've gone.
22:23I just wanted him out of the way for the wedding.
22:26And so I stuck a load of laxatives in
22:27with his vitamin powder the day before.
22:29And that's why he didn't leave his room all day?
22:31Oh, and I looked for him.
22:33And then I found the body.
22:35I smashed the church door
22:37to make it look like a robbery.
22:38And then I washed a glass with the laxatives in.
22:41You know, in case of CSI stuff.
22:43And that's who Aaron heard running the taps.
22:47I didn't mean to kill him.
22:50Oh, no, you, you, you didn't kill him, Nathan.
22:55I did it?
22:55No.
22:58For real?
22:58Yeah.
23:03Oh.
23:05Oh, I feel so good not to be a model.
23:07Yeah, yeah.
23:08Oh, one last thing.
23:10When you did the laxatives,
23:11did you steal a card from the best man's speech?
23:14No.
23:14I never took any card.
23:19Okay, thanks, Chowdhury.
23:21Got you some biscuits.
23:22I ate them on the drive-over.
23:24Oh, don't even have lunch yet.
23:25You're almost saint-like in your care for others.
23:28That was Chowdhury on the phone.
23:30He's been in touch with Cardiff Uni
23:32about why Gethin got chucked out.
23:34He'd been stealing exam papers
23:37and selling them to students.
23:42What are you doing?
23:43Stretching.
23:43I'm exhausted.
23:45I've been sitting all day.
23:47Oh, poor you.
23:48I've been on my feet since six.
23:49Oh, you'd understand if you've ever sat.
23:51I mean, truly sat.
23:52The focus required.
23:54Oh.
23:55It's a high wire act.
23:56Yeah, yeah, you're amazing.
23:58Oh, that's all Chowdhury, really.
24:00Even though I said it was taxing,
24:02you know, it's...
24:03she makes it all seem effortless.
24:05Time seems to fly when I talk to her.
24:07Oh, and time doesn't fly when you're talking to me.
24:09Oh, it's different, isn't it?
24:11It's more cultured.
24:12Oi, I'm cultured.
24:13I watch BBC Four,
24:15and not just because of the old top of the pops.
24:17I think you're getting a bit too close
24:18to someone who could be our killer.
24:19No, no, no, no.
24:21I'm remaining completely neutral here,
24:24but Chonet, killer?
24:25No.
24:26At the question, it's ridiculous.
24:28It's insulting.
24:28She's a sensitive, artistic soul.
24:31It doesn't equate.
24:31She didn't like Geffen.
24:33She liked him enough for them to be having an affair.
24:35She was having an affair
24:36with her fiancé's best friend.
24:38Clearly.
24:39Chonet's not a picky person.
24:41She didn't mind what flower she had at her wedding,
24:43and yet she was crippled with indecision
24:45about buying a second-hand car.
24:46I don't know what she was doing with Geffen,
24:48but they weren't looking at hatchbacks.
24:49Poor Aaron.
24:50Well, he's not exactly a paragon of innocence.
24:52He turned his wedding into a networking event.
24:54Yeah, well, his best friend was sleeping with his fiancé.
24:57Sort of swings and roundabouts.
24:58He prioritised his career over his partner.
25:01Now, that's unforgivable.
25:01No, it's not.
25:02You can't judge people by your standards.
25:04Not everybody has a perfect marriage.
25:08You don't know a thing about my marriage.
25:10Well, I would if you actually spoke about it.
25:13But you never shut up about Ellen
25:14to artsy-fartsy Chonet.
25:17I would rather my late wife
25:18remain conversationally off-limits, okay?
25:21But I want to talk about her.
25:22I want to talk about what you were like together.
25:24Like, who was in charge of the remote?
25:26I bet you can tell a lot from that.
25:28But you never talked to me about it,
25:29even though I could see how happy you were.
25:31Oh, yes, because my marriage was perfect.
25:36I was so busy with work,
25:38I didn't even know she was dying.
25:40Until it was almost too late.
25:42I don't want to hear
25:44your amateur attempts at psychology.
25:48What do you know about real human relationships?
25:51The person you spent most of your time with
25:53is a television character.
25:54He's probably the only reason you're even here.
26:00Fine.
26:01But unlike the actual amateur in the room,
26:04I'm going to follow the evidence.
26:05You can save your waffling
26:06for your chats with Alan.
26:09You know he's not been well.
26:11That was...
26:11He's a very poor take.
26:16Okay, we did have a thing.
26:18But it was over months ago.
26:19You should have mentioned
26:20the relationship with Gethin earlier.
26:22I know,
26:22but it was embarrassing
26:23more than anything.
26:25Gethin was cheesy.
26:26You know,
26:27the kind of bloke
26:27you have a really bad one night stand with.
26:29And I went and had about 15 with him.
26:31Why?
26:32What's that saying
26:33about why men climb mountains?
26:35I don't know,
26:35because they're weird?
26:36No,
26:37because he was there.
26:39It's his mid-century.
26:41He's been eating monkey nuts out of it.
26:43The old dad.
26:43Only him go with a teacher out of the right.
26:45Only him here to know
26:46he's a Gethin for the best man.
26:47I even asked him to step down.
26:50Bit weird, are they?
26:51Well, not much,
26:52because we maybe
26:53sort of slept together again.
26:55Look, I'm not perfect, okay?
26:58Did Aaron know about the affair?
27:00God, no.
27:01Of course I knew about the affair.
27:03I'm sure the Lord wouldn't mind
27:04one glitter cannon.
27:06Could ask him.
27:07Yeah, murder investigation here.
27:13You decided to keep Gethin
27:14as your best man,
27:15even though he was shaking sheets
27:16with your fiancée.
27:17I know it seems crazy,
27:19but it's just an affair.
27:20Me and Sean had to speak
27:21after the big day.
27:22I've already got a spreadsheet
27:22for couples counsellors.
27:24Right, probably a good idea.
27:25Yeah.
27:26And there's always divorce.
27:27Okay, well, if that's everything...
27:29No, no, no.
27:30You know what's been bugging me?
27:31With every fact I learn about Gethin,
27:33why you chose
27:34to keep him as your best man...
27:36He was my oldest friend.
27:37Yeah, from uni.
27:38Until he got chucked out
27:39for selling exam papers.
27:41See, now,
27:42does that sound in character
27:43for Gethin?
27:44A complex university exam fraud syndicate.
27:47He had hidden depths?
27:48No, it has somebody else's
27:49fingerprints all over it.
27:51Your fingerprints.
27:52Sorry, I should ask
27:53before I touch you.
27:54Yeah.
27:55Yeah.
27:56Okay, fine.
27:59Yes, it was me.
27:59Come on.
28:01When that all came out,
28:02I thought that was my future over.
28:04I should have been thrown out,
28:05but Gethin took the fall.
28:06So you worked it?
28:07Yeah, but he pushed it too far.
28:10He stopped trying to work.
28:10He kept upping his salary.
28:12I mean, I had to put my foot down.
28:14I told him we were square.
28:15Yeah, but Gethin said,
28:16nah,
28:16and threatened to expose you.
28:19I checked his best man speech,
28:20and there were all these jokes
28:21about there's no cheat sheet
28:23for a married life.
28:24So you shut him up.
28:26All I did was take the card
28:27out of his speech.
28:28Can you move back a bit?
28:29Oh, yeah.
28:30Sorry, eh?
28:32Yeah, he had a laugh at lunch.
28:33He always repeats on me.
28:35Yeah.
28:37I just find I'm such majestic creatures.
28:39That's why I'm keen to join.
28:41See, I'd really love to find out
28:43more about the local Badger population.
28:45Now then, use your card.
28:46Oh.
28:47Membership number 002.
28:49I'm a Themis member.
28:50This could really help us
28:51get local press attention.
28:52You could be our bono.
28:55I was actually wondering,
28:58do you have night vision cameras
29:01to watch the Badgers?
29:04Yeah, yeah,
29:04going here in my garden.
29:06Amazing the things you see.
29:08Cut a Badger.
29:09Having a play with a fox.
29:12Just here.
29:14Well, that's...
29:16One moment, please.
29:21So you're suddenly into Badgers,
29:23or you're just interfering
29:23with my investigation?
29:25Probably the latter.
29:28I was actually hoping to run into you
29:30to say sorry.
29:34Bloody hell.
29:36Probably the only word
29:37I've never heard you say.
29:39Well, I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
29:42In my defence,
29:43I was worried about Alan.
29:44And I've been sitting all day.
29:46You really don't understand...
29:48Okay, okay, stop now,
29:49whilst the apology's still an apology.
29:51And for the record,
29:53Caesar's not the only reason
29:54why I come to you.
29:55He couldn't do what you do.
29:58Character, emotional business, you know.
30:00Plus, he is way cleverer than you.
30:01Like, he's an actual genius.
30:02Yeah, all right.
30:03I think your point
30:04has already been rather succinctly made.
30:06But I think I have found a way
30:09to make it up to you.
30:11Oh, it's not a candle, is it?
30:12Because honestly,
30:12I just don't understand
30:13the hype of those sort of things.
30:14I think it's just, like, burning money.
30:16The Kumbashow Badger Watchers
30:18have a night vision camera
30:20that points towards the churchyard.
30:25We asked everyone in the area
30:27if they have CCTV.
30:28It's not CCTV.
30:30It's an infrared badger camera.
30:33Right, well, I think
30:33we've got some evening viewing.
30:36Yeah.
30:42Do you think we'll ever actually
30:43see a badger?
30:45Oh!
30:47There, another crisp packet.
30:49Wow.
30:51Artie Seanhead really can't do hands.
30:54No, an artistic soul,
30:56but not the most gifted at portraiture.
30:58Your fingers look like sausages.
31:01It's Seanhead.
31:02Yeah, I know.
31:03She can't paint for shit.
31:04Oh, it's Seanhead!
31:06In your statement,
31:07you said you were in bed from 9pm,
31:09but you went to the churchyard
31:10to meet Gethin
31:11around the time he was murdered.
31:15For the tape,
31:16I have just shown the suspect
31:17footage of her heading
31:18to the churchyard
31:18to meet Gethin.
31:20For the tape,
31:20I also really like
31:21the suspect's brooch.
31:23Oh, dear.
31:24My very tiger and bear.
31:25For the tape,
31:26the suspect has just responded
31:27in Welsh
31:28and named a shop
31:29that is way out of my price range.
31:31This does not look good.
31:33I mean the footage,
31:34not the brooch.
31:35What were you doing there?
31:37Gethin texted me,
31:38said he had to see me,
31:39so I snuck out my bedroom window.
31:41I feel like a 15-year-old
31:43climbing out
31:43while Dad was watching telly.
31:44You went to see him
31:45even though your affair
31:46had finished.
31:47What was it you said
31:48months ago?
31:48It had.
31:49Only that night,
31:50Gethin said...
31:52He said he was in love with me.
31:54He wanted us to run away together.
31:56Look,
31:56I told him it was over.
31:57It was a mistake.
31:58And how did he react to that?
32:00Well,
32:00not great,
32:01but he came round eventually.
32:05Okay,
32:06fine.
32:06He threatened to tell Aaron everything.
32:07So you killed him?
32:08No!
32:09I called him an idiot
32:10and I told him to go home.
32:11Look,
32:12can't we do this another time?
32:13I'm getting married in the morning.
32:14Let's go over the timeline again.
32:16And also,
32:17out of curiosity,
32:18how much was the brooch?
32:21We didn't have enough to arrest her.
32:24Chris dismissed the duty solicitor,
32:25brought in some big hot shot.
32:27Must have cost a bomb.
32:28Well,
32:28mine is no object
32:29when it comes to protecting
32:30his little girl.
32:31It's at the core of his character.
32:34I just...
32:35I just can't see it being shone in.
32:38The evidence is there.
32:39She went sneaking out the house
32:40to meet her former lover
32:41around the time he was murdered.
32:42Yes,
32:43but she wouldn't kill
32:44to protect her secret.
32:45If anything,
32:46she's the victim
32:47of a work-obsessed fiancée.
32:48Is it possible
32:49this is a little bit about you?
32:51I just think
32:51Seanette deserves someone
32:53who cares about her.
32:54Who'd do anything
32:55to make her happy.
32:59Of course.
33:01What?
33:02The television.
33:04Something was off
33:05about her story.
33:06I think we're going to have to stop...
33:08for a wedding!
33:08I said it first.
33:18What are you doing here?
33:25Okay, settle down.
33:27TM is still out.
33:29Dimbrillie.
33:30Spanx.
33:30Want to take?
33:31We can't cancel the wedding again.
33:33No,
33:33it looks amateurish.
33:34I'm afraid
33:35your grand vision
33:36has to give way
33:37to something even more precious.
33:39The truth.
33:41Is that Caesar?
33:42What's he doing here?
33:44Mr. Chappell came to me
33:45as a concerned citizen.
33:48Very quietly.
33:49And in the background.
33:51I'm not just
33:52an aficionado of the arts,
33:54but an aficionado
33:55of justice.
33:57Do you understand
33:58the word background?
34:00Yeah,
34:00can someone explain
34:00what the hell's going on?
34:01Between you all
34:02there's been a lot of secrets
34:03and they're going to come out now.
34:05There was one secret
34:07that led to Gethin's death.
34:10He was having an affair
34:15with Sean Ed.
34:19Sorry that I've been waiting.
34:20It's okay.
34:21I knew.
34:24You weren't exactly subtle.
34:26Stanker, savage.
34:28Right, okay.
34:29That's the end
34:29of the circus now.
34:30Thank you very much.
34:31I'm going to walk
34:32my daughter
34:32down the aisle.
34:33Not today.
34:34Chris Grant,
34:35I'm arresting you.
34:36What's going on?
34:37Don't listen to her,
34:38Sean.
34:38Doesn't know what she's saying.
34:39You killed Gethin.
34:42Over 2,000 quid.
34:43It wasn't about the money,
34:45but it was about the wedding.
34:47You put a lot of pressure
34:49on the wedding being perfect.
34:50A way to make up
34:51for the past.
34:53Sean,
34:53what the hell's he
34:53got to do with you, mate?
34:54Eh?
34:55I mean,
34:55that's not a sin,
34:56is it?
34:56It's not a crime.
34:57Yeah,
34:57very much in the foreground
34:58right now as well.
34:59No, indeed.
34:59Not a crime.
35:01But the pressure built up.
35:04Sean Ed went to bed.
35:05You were feeling the stress,
35:07your guilt
35:07over your neglect
35:08of Sean Ed as a child,
35:09your alcoholism.
35:11No.
35:11You hated yourself.
35:13You tried to resist.
35:15But you needed a drink.
35:16You found one
35:17and you went
35:18to where the local teenagers
35:20go to drink.
35:21The churchyard.
35:23Oh, Dad.
35:24You're a considerate dad.
35:26You wouldn't have the telly
35:27on loud the night
35:28before a wedding
35:28unless
35:30you wanted her
35:31to put her earplugs in
35:32so you could sneak out.
35:33You went to the churchyard
35:35around the back.
35:36That's why we didn't
35:36pick you up on Badger Cam.
35:38Okay,
35:39you're going to have to
35:39explain Badger Cam.
35:41After a while,
35:42you heard somebody coming
35:43so you hid.
35:44You were there?
35:45No.
35:46You heard the argument
35:47between Gethin and Sean Ed.
35:49You heard him
35:49threatening to ruin
35:51her big day.
35:52You wouldn't let that happen.
35:53I wasn't there.
35:54We found a bottle
35:55near the body.
35:56A bottle of
35:59Chateau-Pont-Balivet.
36:01Chateau-Pont-Balivet.
36:03That one.
36:04A Pinot Noir.
36:05Goes surprisingly well
36:06with fish.
36:07Does it?
36:07It does.
36:08We're running forensics
36:09on it.
36:10I think it'll prove
36:11the link between you
36:12and the crack scene.
36:15Dad?
36:26It wasn't just a threat.
36:29It was the way
36:29he spoke to you, Sean.
36:32I had to do something.
36:34You didn't have
36:35to do anything.
36:39I told him
36:40I couldn't have him
36:40rude in a wedding day.
36:43You could see
36:44I'd been drinking
36:44and he laughed.
36:47And then he said
36:48he was going to tell
36:48Sean E. everything.
36:50I just pushed him.
36:57I didn't mean to kill him.
36:59Why couldn't you
36:59just leave things alone?
37:02I couldn't have him
37:02treat my little girl like that.
37:09Please let me
37:10walk my daughter
37:10to tell me I am.
37:17I'm sorry.
37:33I feel terrible
37:34Sean.
37:36Truly, if...
37:36Oh, shut up
37:37and go, wait.
37:38Fair enough.
37:42They've rearranged
37:43the wedding
37:43for next week,
37:44now.
37:45Of course the likes
37:46of them.
37:46I doubt it will last.
37:48Do you know
37:49marriage is perfect,
37:50I suppose?
37:52You know,
37:54Sean doesn't care
37:55that Aaron loves
37:57his work.
37:58She's choosing him
37:59anyway.
38:00Don't.
38:00I'm just saying,
38:01look,
38:02I don't know
38:03what happened
38:03with you and Ellen,
38:04but I'm sure
38:06you were a brilliant
38:07husband.
38:07Oh, yeah.
38:08Yeah,
38:09so consumed
38:09in my work
38:10that Ellen
38:10wouldn't tell me
38:11she was ill.
38:13If I'd have known her.
38:17I could have been
38:17there, Morgan.
38:19Maybe she didn't
38:19want you there,
38:20more.
38:21Sorry,
38:22that sounds harsh,
38:23but maybe
38:24what she needed
38:26was to be alone
38:27or what she
38:28thought she needed.
38:30Either way,
38:31it was her choice.
38:34Don't take that
38:35away from her.
38:44All right,
38:45don't look now.
38:46Yeah,
38:47very much
38:48looking now.
38:50Shall we go
38:50somewhere else?
38:51No.
38:53I'm not hiding
38:53anymore.
38:54I'm going to deal
38:55with this like an adult.
39:00All right?
39:01All right?
39:02You all right?
39:03Yeah,
39:03you all right?
39:04Yeah,
39:04I'm all right.
39:09You all right?
39:10Yeah.
39:11Well,
39:12it takes the bigger
39:13person to stand up
39:15and ignore the past.
39:16That shows real growth.
39:18Yeah,
39:18no,
39:18not that.
39:19I switched our drinks.
39:20Full fat dairy.
39:21She's going to be
39:22her part of the night
39:22redecorating the bathroom.
39:24Thanks.
39:26I'll take that
39:26back about growth.
39:27That was infantile
39:28and crass.
39:30Can you give me
39:31a lift, please?
39:32I need to take
39:33my portrait
39:33to the tip.
39:35Oh,
39:35can I have it?
39:36It's hilarious.
39:37Absolutely not.
39:39go on.
39:39It's great.
39:40You can tell it's good
39:41because the dodgy hands
39:41actually follow you
39:42around the room.
39:46Come on.
39:47Forget it.
39:47You can't back up,
39:48this.
39:48Forget it.
39:49You can't go on.
39:49You can't go on.
39:49You can't go on.
