00:13If you'd be so good as to follow me, ladies and gentlemen.
00:18So, the game begins.
00:23Thanks a lot.
00:30You're all here. Marvellous.
00:33Luncheon is served with a side dish of...
00:39Murder!
00:47Now, first of all, meet your detective, actor and national treasurer, Anthony Hart,
00:52or, as you know him, Elliot Flame from television's Phoenix.
00:57Um, I'll tell. You thought I was supposed to pay the victim.
01:01You were?
01:03Dad?
01:10One fatal stab to the heart.
01:12Yes, my lad.
01:15Oh, nice of you to join us. We were expecting you half an hour ago.
01:17I know, I know. Car trouble. But don't worry, sir, I'm on it. Just...
01:20Gotta order a new part. Well, really old part.
01:23A detective needs a car that works, not a mobile skip.
01:26Yeah, absolutely, sir. Great point. Couldn't agree more.
01:29Now, half the guests were on a garden tour all morning,
01:32so we've ruled them out and sent them home,
01:33but we need statements from the others,
01:35and the chief super wants this wrapped up as quickly as possible
01:38to keep the eyes of the press office.
01:39It'll be like a circus here tomorrow.
01:40Are you saying I've only got 24 hours?
01:43What? No.
01:43Aw, can you? Makes it feel proper dramatic.
01:46Look, wrap this up quickly and keep the force from press scrutiny,
01:50and that promotion's as good as yours.
01:53Great. Where's Chowdhury?
01:54Farming, this big Gibsons and the Lewises out near Kevin E. Shell.
01:58It's all kicked off there. I gotta go too.
02:00Two officers for warring farmers?
02:01No. Kayleigh's been suspended from school for spreading malicious rumours
02:05about a teacher, which I happen to know are perfectly true,
02:07but that's beside the point.
02:08Well, don't worry, sir. I've got it down here.
02:10Right. Time to keep me posted.
02:11Oh, also, you two were teenage girls once.
02:15Say, hypothetically, your father locked you in a police cell
02:18to teach you about responsibility.
02:20Didn't that be a good life lesson?
02:22No.
02:22No.
02:24Okay.
02:27Right. Cause of death, stab wounds directly to the heart.
02:31Angle of entry suggests the killer was standing in front of him.
02:33No defence wounds.
02:34Interesting detail about the weapon, though.
02:36It's not a knife. It's a letter opener.
02:39Other strange detail.
02:40He's wearing makeup.
02:41Foundation over his left eye.
02:43Someone punched him.
02:44Fairly recently, from the look of it.
02:47Anthony Harden.
02:49Legend.
02:51Sounds wrong to say, but I thought he was already dead.
02:53Me too.
03:01Can I go home?
03:02This is a murder investigation.
03:04Nobody is going to leave this house until I've taken a statement.
03:07Look at the police notebook, honey.
03:10The attention to detail.
03:11I'm not sure I'd buy those shoes out of a cop, though.
03:15Okay. Sorry.
03:16What about your names?
03:17Huh?
03:18Oh.
03:20Well, I'm Tennis Fairweather.
03:23The owner obviously has every good dime in the line.
03:25I'm paying Bill, Marcus.
03:27I keep trying to explain to him that this is not part of the game.
03:30It's not.
03:31It's absolutely not.
03:32Someone died.
03:33Sure.
03:34Officer.
03:35Okay.
03:36Can everybody apart from the family of the deceased please wait outside?
03:40Right.
03:40Gladly.
03:41I need a drink.
03:43Who would want to kill Dad?
03:45It's horrible.
03:46So, you both lived here with Anthony?
03:48Oh, no.
03:49No, I live in Ibiza.
03:51I'm only here because Dad came home.
03:53My brother came back last month.
03:55He'd signed up to do these events for a year.
03:58This is the Hart family home.
04:01Oh, good.
04:01That'll be him.
04:03I've asked a friend to come round.
04:04I need someone to be with me.
04:06This is a murder scene.
04:08You can't be inviting random people along.
04:09He's not some random person.
04:11He's a very dear old friend.
04:13Oh, right.
04:14Well, why didn't you say so?
04:19Oh, Johnny.
04:20My hero.
04:22Fighting through the rain to comfort me.
04:26I don't know.
04:26It's so awful.
04:28Anthony.
04:29Murdered.
04:30I...
04:31Unthinkable, isn't it?
04:32I've got a house full of strangers.
04:34I just needed someone familiar.
04:39Um...
04:40Look, I...
04:41I know what you're going through
04:43and the last thing you want to be doing is cooking.
04:44So I...
04:45Pick some food up.
04:48Oh...
04:49Johnny.
04:51This is why I needed you.
04:53You understand me.
04:55I think you may be one of the few people I've never understood.
05:01Um...
05:02Can I have a word with...
05:03Johnny?
05:04Is it?
05:05Hmm.
05:09This is your new case, is it?
05:10Yes.
05:11And it's very time sensitive.
05:12If I wanted your help, I would have called.
05:14Oh, yeah.
05:14Dial a lackey.
05:15Of course, yeah.
05:16Well, it's been quite a time since you've pestered me.
05:19I thought perhaps you'd pass me over, now that you were up and running.
05:24Hey, you're gonna touch evidence.
05:26Glover.
05:27Oh, these horrible things.
05:31Make me look like some aging smurf.
05:34Okay.
05:38Interesting murder weapon, though, isn't it, eh?
05:41A table covered in steak knives.
05:44Yet they use a letter opener.
05:46It tells us that the weapon is significant, pregnant,
05:49with meaning to our manufacturer.
05:51Or they just grabbed it from the house.
05:54Helen's not the type to own a letter opener.
05:55Precision's not in her armory.
05:57She'd tear her envelopes open.
05:59Very passionate woman.
06:02Is she now, John Chappell?
06:05Is that why you're here?
06:07To get your leg over?
06:09Well, I'm not here to get my leg over, you appalling vulgarian.
06:15Helen's a dear friend who we actually met through Anthony.
06:19Some of my happiest memories are in this house.
06:21So, you were mates?
06:23Very good mates for a while, then sadly, bitter rivals.
06:27Phoenix on ITV, Caesar on BBC got quite feisty.
06:31Well, he won in the end.
06:33What?
06:33Do you think Anthony Hart was more successful than me
06:36because he chose to defect to America?
06:38Why didn't you ever go to America?
06:40Old ass.
06:41Begged, even.
06:43I could never make the dates work.
06:44Anyway, can you picture me sitting around a pool all day in my speedo?
06:50Oh, I've had enough traumatic images in my head today with the dead body.
06:53Do you mind?
06:54There was a time when I happened to look rather striking in a speedo.
06:57You can get away with it now, though.
06:59Too much danglage.
07:00All right.
07:01Okay.
07:02I'm gonna go and ask Helena what she knows about the murder weapon.
07:06Yeah, and I'll see one find out from the other guests.
07:08But don't take too long with Helena.
07:10She must be suffering terribly.
07:19Interesting chapel.
07:29Very interesting.
07:35Never seen it before in my life.
07:37I'm fairly certain it isn't from the house.
07:39Though I have had four rather strong whiskies.
07:43Right.
07:44Very interesting.
07:46Actually, not that interesting.
07:48Didn't know why I said that.
07:49So, you and John Chappell.
07:51What's the story there?
07:53Oh, brilliant, sensitive John.
07:56Would wake a girl up with a poem and a buttered tea cake.
07:59You used to wake up with John Chappell?
08:01Yes.
08:02Is this relevant?
08:04Very essential background.
08:06Oh, right.
08:08Johnny used to stay here a lot back in the eighties.
08:12Um, and...
08:13Well, we...
08:14We had a bit of a fling.
08:15Nothing serious.
08:16He was a wonderful love maker.
08:19Oh, God.
08:20God, no.
08:20And then fate intervened.
08:22I went on holiday to Marrakesh.
08:25While I was away, he met the lovely Ellen.
08:28They were soul mates from the off.
08:30I came back with a deep tan, a gorgeous rug, and a broken heart.
08:36Oh.
08:38At least you got a rug.
08:40Mm.
08:42And you've stayed in touch all this time?
08:43No, no, no.
08:44He went off grid when Ellen died.
08:46Poor thing.
08:47Wouldn't even pick up the phone.
08:49It's only recently he's got back in touch.
08:51Why?
08:52There's a young lady in his life.
08:55Nothing like that.
08:56An acquaintance.
08:58But whatever she's done, he's really back to his old self.
09:02Seems to be alive again.
09:05Did I mention he was a wonderful love maker?
09:09Okay, I think we're done.
09:10Yep.
09:11Oh, marvellous.
09:12Well, um, I think I might go for a bit of a lie down.
09:18Do, uh, wake me up if you find the killer.
09:24There you go.
09:27You did say tea, yeah?
09:28Oh, I actually asked for an extra hot latte making.
09:31Yeah.
09:32That might be a challenge.
09:34Izzy's a nice girl, but she's quite useless for a silver service waitress.
09:37She was so spooked earlier.
09:39She bolted upstairs to the bathroom when she saw the body.
09:41Well, that's interesting.
09:42Excuse me.
09:44Oh, yeah.
09:45No, yeah.
09:46Just walk away.
09:47I'm definitely done talking.
09:51Don't mind me.
09:52Quite the tricky murder we've got going on here, eh?
09:56Well, this is a murder.
09:57A man is dead.
10:01I've tried, Mr. Chappell.
10:03I'm Paddy Marcus.
10:05This is Bill.
10:06Charmed.
10:07Sorry, love.
10:08I think that's got sugar in.
10:10It's the margaritas all over again, huh?
10:13Margaritas?
10:14Anthony asked me to make him a margarita earlier.
10:16He took one sip, said it was disgusting, and then he lost it.
10:19When's this?
10:20The welcome drinks when we all arrived.
10:22And he cleared off.
10:24Locked himself in his room all day, even though we paid good money to meet him.
10:28Well, uh, uh, Dennis Williams.
10:29I can make cocktails.
10:32I work the bar in Cardiff Inferno, so I made the best skittle bombs out of anyone.
10:35I don't doubt it.
10:36Cardiff Inferno?
10:36I wouldn't dare cast aspersions on your mixology skills.
10:41Thanks, love.
10:43Look, I know probably now is a bad time, but I've just got to say I am such a huge
10:47fan.
10:47I've even watched your Masterclass DVD.
10:49Really?
10:51Well, that's amazing.
10:51Yeah, we found it in Grandad's underwear drawer when we were clearing his house out.
10:54It's the best density in how hard you work, fair play.
10:57Well, acting, proper acting, it can be incredibly toxic.
11:02The nurses think they've got it tough.
11:04Sorry, you're just pulling your leg.
11:06Oh, marvelous sense of humor.
11:09It's all right, I'm not immune to a bit of ribbing.
11:12You seem like a sharp tact, Dennis.
11:15What's your take on all this?
11:17I think it's the Curse of Phoenix.
11:20The Curse of Phoenix?
11:22Ah, you have to tell me all about this.
11:25Well, there was a girl who worked on the show Who Died years ago.
11:29And two actors suffered heart attacks while filming.
11:33And now this.
11:34There's no such thing as bloody curses.
11:36Anthony wasn't killed by a myth or a legend.
11:39It was someone in this house.
11:41If you'll excuse me, I need the loo.
11:44Prostate the size of a cantaloupe.
11:48Can I borrow, Mr. Chappell?
11:50Please excuse me.
11:51Yeah, right.
11:55How can I help?
11:58So, what do you make of our guests?
12:01Interesting little bunch.
12:03Well, Dennis.
12:04Something not quite right there.
12:06No, no.
12:06But what is it, Chappell?
12:07What is it? Performance? Artifice?
12:09It's not a thing at all.
12:09But it's here.
12:10A murder mystery event.
12:12No, no, no.
12:13Plus he mocked me.
12:14Oh, right.
12:16Yeah, he bruised your ego, so he must be our killer.
12:18Anything actually useful?
12:19Anthony spent all afternoon in her room.
12:22Have you searched it yet?
12:22Not yet, but I was going to.
12:24Oh, yeah.
12:25Do you want to come?
12:26Well, I really want to go and see Helena.
12:29Oh, she's having a lie down.
12:30Well, you could wake her up in a bit with a poem and a buttered tea cake.
12:34What?
12:36What?
12:36Come on.
12:43Ah.
12:46Somebody's hand-delivered a letter to Anthony.
12:52And, um, it's missing.
12:56Dean.
12:58Yes, thank you.
13:00Yeah, I need to bring my car in again.
13:03The usual.
13:04And there's a burnt tea smell.
13:07Oh, and it keeps making this noise.
13:10Er...
13:11Well, sort of like, um...
13:18Thanks, thanks.
13:18Bye.
13:22Very interesting car sentimentality.
13:26I usually get it with men or parents, but I don't get it with you.
13:30There's nothing to get.
13:30I like my car.
13:31I like VHS tapes.
13:33I don't watch them anymore.
13:34It's not as simple as that.
13:37My car...
13:38It was Sian's.
13:39She left it to me.
13:40So, it means a bit more than a flippin' VHS tape.
13:44It's funny.
13:44We used to pretend to be you.
13:46Just driving round, looking for crime.
13:50She was a weirdo too, was she?
13:52No wonder you were close.
13:53Wait, we weren't weird.
13:54We were cool.
13:55And I don't want to watch all of that just get crushed up into a little metal cube.
13:59So just leave my car alone.
14:00All right.
14:04Very odd mix of magazines.
14:06Anthony didn't seem the celeb junk mag type to be.
14:11There's nothing here.
14:14Do you think this looks like someone who was planning on staying for good?
14:17Well, it's hard to say, isn't it?
14:19Those actors aren't all about possessions.
14:21Our accumulated baggage is on the inside.
14:25I don't think he was staying.
14:27Helena said he'd signed up to do these events for a year.
14:31If he was going to do a runner, that would give her a pretty good motive.
14:34Helena, fratricide is preposterous.
14:36Why don't you go and, erm, rouse her from her slumber and see what you can find out?
14:40I'm here to comfort Helena, not interrogate her.
14:44Anyway, we should be talking to the son, Owen.
14:46He just came back to see his father, who was then murdered.
14:49Seems very coincidental.
14:51Okay, deal.
14:52I'll go talk to him, and you go charm the lady of the manor.
14:59Erm, I haven't read this week's and, erm, well, need to flush out a little suspect of my own.
15:14So, Ibiza.
15:17Sounds nice.
15:18Lots of parties.
15:19That's what my life used to look like, but not now.
15:22I run a wellness retreat.
15:24Why, Ibiza?
15:25Couldn't you run a wellness retreat here?
15:27Ugh.
15:28Nobody gets well in Paris.
15:31For a start, you need vitamin D and sunshine.
15:33Okay, do you have to do that now?
15:35Yoga's great for processing grief.
15:41You grew up here?
15:42Do you know, sometimes I wish I'd just had a more wholesome, humble upbringing that you probably had.
15:48Excuse me?
15:49We had Sky.
15:50And we went to Crete.
15:53Did anything out of the ordinary happen running up to the event?
15:57No, I don't think so.
16:00Although, you know, a few days ago, Dad was acting strange.
16:04How?
16:05I kept trying to get rid of everyone.
16:07Sent Aunt Hell off into town to get supplies and told me to make myself scarce for the afternoon.
16:11But, I came back early and he wasn't alone.
16:15He was with a woman.
16:17Okay, can you describe this woman?
16:20Yeah, um, she's young.
16:23Dark hair.
16:24A bit like you, I suppose.
16:25But elegant and stylish.
16:27Hey, I'm stylish.
16:29Have you seen my little crop jockey?
16:33Little croppy jockey.
16:37You, up on the roof, bellowing poetry in a hurricane.
16:41We all thought you were mad.
16:43No, no.
16:43The technical term is steaming.
16:45I think we're a Latvian Volker.
16:48If I remember Corellium, which I probably don't.
16:50Poor Johnny.
16:52I feel awful laughing in all this.
16:56Are you okay, Emma?
16:58Really?
16:59I have to be.
17:00There's much to be done and this place doesn't look after itself.
17:05It's not a bit too much.
17:06Are you on your own?
17:08Sometimes.
17:10It'd be nice to have someone else around to help.
17:14Owen comes now and then, usually when he's run out of money.
17:19Perceptive of them to come to you for money, rather than Anthony.
17:23Well, they'd have their troubles.
17:25He did rather run off the rails in his youth.
17:29I say that's what being young's for, but Anthony was very hard on him.
17:34Even yesterday they had a row.
17:36What about them?
17:37You've no idea.
17:39Now that's very odd.
17:41This door is always locked.
17:45That's the third door that's like it.
17:47There are two more upstairs that have been unlocked.
17:49Very strange.
17:54Thank you for being here.
17:56It makes everything that much more bearable.
17:58I just want everyone out of this house.
18:02I think the place will be done soon and everyone will be out of your hair.
18:05Yeah.
18:06That's not happening.
18:07The road's flooded.
18:10I'm sorry, but you will all have to stay here overnight.
18:13A little predictable, but I like it.
18:15Izzy, where have you been?
18:18I was just taking the bins out.
18:20In this weather.
18:21Is everyone here insane?
18:25I suggest everybody locks themselves in their rooms until the morning when hopefully the road will be clear.
18:32I am certain of two things, Adkins.
18:36One, there is a killer in our midst.
18:39And two, they shall presently lament trying to commit a murder under the nose of Charles Caesar.
18:46We've had a statement here from one of the neighbours, sir.
18:49You do have to watch that now.
18:51It helps me think.
18:54It's distracting.
18:56It's transporting me back to my character.
18:59It's conflicting my psyche.
19:01Oh, this is a good bit.
19:03Oh.
19:06Chaudry!
19:06Sorry, I was meant to call you earlier, but I've been with the Lewis's all day.
19:10Got to get a team in from Welsh Water to clear out the drains tomorrow before Dave Lewis, and I
19:13quote,
19:14puts Tom Gibson through the wall.
19:16Ah, that sounds really boring.
19:18Are you joking?
19:19They're going to let me hold the big hose.
19:21I can't wait.
19:23Anyways, I've been looking into Anthony Hart.
19:26You're going to want to hear this.
19:27He was booked on a flight back to L.A. next week.
19:30So he wasn't sticking around?
19:31No, but also, he filed for bankruptcy in the U.S.
19:35He was skinned.
19:37Okay, bye!
19:40Well, the bankruptcy explains why Anthony was doing those events. He needed the money.
19:45Very unimaginative conclusion.
19:47Oh, for...
19:48Okay, why do you imagine?
19:50I'm wrong.
19:51Because if Anthony needed money, his agent could have got him an advert.
19:54It would have been easier and ultimately less humiliating.
19:56But bankruptcy, we're talking a lot of money.
19:58I bought a boat once, from just doing an advert for Japanese vacuum cleaners.
20:02Mind you, it wasn't just for the money. I actually believed in suckle suck and clean.
20:08Okay, well, while I YouTube that, why don't we call it a night?
20:13You could, um, go for a nightcap with Helena.
20:18No, I don't think so.
20:20Why? She clearly fancies you.
20:24Don't you like her?
20:26Of course I do.
20:27What's stopping you?
20:29You're single.
20:31I haven't been a single man since 1986.
20:34I have a wife.
20:35You can't keep living in the past.
20:37Oh, that's rich, coming from somebody driving around in hers.
20:40Just leave it, okay?
20:42Okay, fine.
21:19Okay, fine.
21:23Johnny?
21:25I'm so sorry.
21:27Oh, I don't know, which is sweet.
21:29This is a lot.
21:30Oh, right, yeah.
21:32Sorry about that.
21:33Oh, I see you've found your old dressing gown.
21:37Yeah.
21:38Still fits.
21:39Yeah, it does, yeah.
21:42What about some memories?
21:45Fond memories.
21:47I hope.
21:49Oh, yeah.
21:51Well, um,
21:53I don't think I'm gonna get back to sleep right now.
21:59Maybe a nightcap might be a good idea.
22:04Maybe.
22:06Oh.
22:09Yeah.
22:16Oh.
22:23Yeah.
22:26You do that, then.
22:26I'm not clear.
22:28I'm not clear.
22:31Oh, boy.
22:32I'm getting my head down.
22:33Yeah.
22:34Eight hours and all that.
22:35Advisable in our age group, I believe.
22:36Yeah.
22:37I heard it on a podcast.
22:38Yeah.
22:39Oh, well, yes.
22:39I want to keep you.
22:40Night-night.
22:41Free track.
22:43I'm all out.
22:44I'm gonna have a light tonight.
22:48I've slept on it, and I think I know who the mystery woman that Owen saw is.
22:53What if, right, she is the lover Anthony came back for, but she had a jealous husband,
23:00and the husband joined the murder mystery event to kill his love rival.
23:07Dennis.
23:08What, Dennis had a glamorous younger wife?
23:10Hmm.
23:11What do they talk about?
23:12His enlarged prostate?
23:14No, no, no, no.
23:15Well, I don't see you coming up with any better ideas.
23:17Well, while you were busy sleeping, my subconscious, my antennae were busy deducing.
23:23It's obvious who this woman is.
23:25Getting everyone out of the house, the unlocked doors, must have been an estate agent.
23:29Anthony was gonna sell the house.
23:30Well, it's the only logical reason for him to come back.
23:32He needed money fast.
23:33It was his only asset.
23:35An estate agent would want to see every room.
23:37Hence, the unlocked doors.
23:40Hmm.
23:40I'll get Chowdhury to look into it.
23:42Okay.
23:44If Dennis didn't do it, how about Owen?
23:47He could be our killer.
23:49Why?
23:50Well, because he's annoying, and I don't trust him.
23:53All his yoga, and his yoga gear, and his yoga pants.
23:56I don't think you've got more of an issue with yoga than Owen.
23:58Well, it's just stretching, and everybody that does it thinks they're Gwyneth Paltrow, and I'm sick of it.
24:03Plus, he smells of biscuits.
24:05Hmm.
24:05He's guilty.
24:06If we just knew why him and Anthony argued, we could prove it.
24:13Well, you're not gonna find the answer in there.
24:19Actually...
24:19I've got this weight.
24:20I'm kind of busy right now because I use this main for the weekend to sleep on the cocktail
24:24stuff lying around.
24:25Won't take long.
24:26Ooh, tequila.
24:28I love a tequila slamer.
24:30Yeah.
24:30You seem like the sort of person who would.
24:35Right.
24:36We need to talk now about this.
24:41Love Island stars hide away regret.
24:45Oh, er...
24:46Just...
24:46Yeah.
24:48London party animals.
24:49That would be you rolling out like a cab in Soho?
24:53Mm-hmm.
24:54That's why you and Anthony argued.
24:56There is no wellness retreat.
24:58You've been living in London partying on Daddy's money.
25:00He found out and summoned you home.
25:03You had to make it look like you were living in Ibiza, hence the fake town.
25:08Looks the part, but as anyone whose mom loves fake town as much as mine knows, it smells
25:11like biscuits.
25:13The nose doesn't lie.
25:16Fine.
25:17Yeah.
25:19Dad called me and told me to come home at once.
25:22And, well, you know, you don't ignore the big chief.
25:25I answered his show to the magazine.
25:27Said it was the final straw.
25:29No more.
25:29No more money.
25:31Pretty big motive for murder.
25:33Mm.
25:34Okay, now wait a minute.
25:36Okay, he was threatening to cut me off all the time.
25:38Plus I could just borrow from Aunt Hell.
25:40Or bump him off and inherit everything.
25:43No, I wouldn't.
25:45I couldn't do it.
25:46You know, most of the Zen stuff's an act, but deep down I'm actually a really peaceful
25:49guy.
25:50Hugs, not drugs.
25:52Although I do really love drugs.
25:54Look, if anyone wanted to hurt Dad, it was that old guy.
25:57He threatened him.
25:59You threatened to punch, Anthony.
26:01Was it you that gave him the black eye?
26:02No.
26:04He had words, that's all.
26:05I was standing up for the girl.
26:07The maid.
26:08Is he?
26:09Yeah.
26:09He had a pop at her about his margarita being too sweet, so I told him to pick on someone
26:13his own size.
26:16Oh.
26:19Chaudhry.
26:19Yeah.
26:20I've got to take this, sorry.
26:23Chaudhry, what'd you get?
26:24Well, hopefully we can all go home soon.
26:27Not soon enough as far as I'm concerned.
26:29Well, this is what I can't understand about you, Dennis.
26:32Everyone else, I get why they're here.
26:35They enjoy all this.
26:37The artifice.
26:39So do I.
26:40The nurses think they got it tough.
26:42No, no, you know tough.
26:44Time for dressing up.
26:45Make believe.
26:46You're a practical man.
26:48So why have you spent a small fortune to be here?
26:53You're right.
26:56I'm not like the others.
26:59Oddballs.
27:01I think a lot of TV crime stuff's just nonsense.
27:05Agreed.
27:06Well, it's actually what made Caesar so remarkable.
27:09It's not about Caesar, sorry.
27:11Carry on.
27:12I am a sucker for Phoenix.
27:14Really?
27:15I found it to be formulaic, but it's all about rotation, of course.
27:18Now please, please carry on.
27:19My daughter was a huge fan.
27:21We'd watch her together every week, without fail.
27:23What happened to your daughter, Dennis?
27:26She moved to Canada, years ago.
27:29Ah, you don't see her anymore.
27:31It's only Canada.
27:33Flights are cheaper than coming here.
27:35It's not that simple.
27:37We fell out.
27:39Things can't go back to how they were.
27:42No, they never can.
27:44That's why I came here.
27:47Daft old sot.
27:49I saw it advertised and I thought it might feel like me and her were still together somehow.
27:54I didn't want to admit it because, well, it makes me sound bonkers.
27:59You're not bonkers, Dennis.
28:02Well, maybe you are, but...
28:08We're all a bit bonkers, aren't we?
28:11Ah, yes.
28:13Okay, I will need you to come in and make an official statement.
28:17Yes.
28:17Bye.
28:18Love you.
28:19Don't know why I said that.
28:20Hang up!
28:22That was her estate agent.
28:24My estate agent?
28:25You thought it was Dennis's younger wife, remember?
28:27Potato, tomato.
28:28She did meet with Anthony to put the house on the market.
28:30She called back to confirm some details a few days ago but said the call was answered by Anthony's sister.
28:36No.
28:37Yes.
28:38Helena said they were still considering it and hadn't confirmed 100% whether they'd be selling.
28:43No, no.
28:45Helena would never sell the house.
28:46Which puts Helena in the frame.
28:49There was a call from some woman but I was rushed off my feet.
28:53I just said what I thought would get her off the line.
28:57Oh!
28:58Oh!
28:59I must have, uh, must have got a shock from the light switch.
29:03You didn't confront Anthony.
29:06I didn't think it was serious.
29:11Weird.
29:12Didn't hurt me.
29:13But then I didn't hurt my hand-attacking Anthony guard.
29:16I'm good, admit it.
29:17Maybe not the time, but very good, yes.
29:21Is it true, Helena?
29:25The selfishness.
29:27Typical, Anthony.
29:28He was trying to sell my home.
29:31Well, you couldn't let that happen, so you didn't.
29:32You stopped him.
29:33No, no, no, no.
29:34We argued, I was furious, and I hit him.
29:36But that was all.
29:37I needed him to make these events a success.
29:39I spent months putting everything in place.
29:42Not strictly true, not everything.
29:44I...
29:45...think...
29:46...channel.
29:47Yes.
29:48The name cards were in the wrong place.
29:51But I triple-checked all the place settings myself yesterday morning.
29:55It was definitely in the wrong place, see?
29:57Well, that's even stranger.
29:59The name's wrong.
30:00There was no Lorna Madison.
30:02Patty was supposed to be a different name.
30:04Mary Murphy O'Toole.
30:05I came up with all the names myself, and I was particularly pleased with that one.
30:09Very Irish.
30:11It's been tampered with.
30:15So who is Lorna Madison?
30:17Lorna Madison worked as a production assistant on the TV show Phoenix.
30:20Where is she now?
30:22Dead.
30:23Died in a car crash in 2007 whilst working on the show.
30:26According to the inquest, she fell asleep at the wheel.
30:28She was driving from set to London after a 15-hour working day to go pick up Anthony Hart's mail
30:33from his house.
30:34All that to pick up some mail?
30:36What an arse.
30:38Left behind her husband and a six-month-old daughter.
30:40Oh.
30:41Also, we've had an update from Backstone to toxicology.
30:44Said she's rushed the results to, so you owe her a Pizza Express.
30:47Every time.
30:48What else you say?
30:49Well, the cause of death is still a letter opener, but Anthony had traces of ethylene glycol in his system.
30:54Somebody had tried to poison him.
30:56How much did everyone hate this guy?
30:58Ethylene glycol?
30:59Found in breakthrough it.
31:01Not enough to kill him.
31:02Apparently it's quite easy to hide it.
31:04Tastes quite sweet.
31:05Thanks, Chaudry.
31:06Well, that explains why Anthony thought there was too much sugar syrup in his margarita.
31:11It does rather implicate Izzy in his death.
31:16But why would she do it?
31:17I don't know.
31:19But the only motives I can see come from the family.
31:22And Izzy is not family.
31:25She might be.
31:27Yeah, of course.
31:29The name card.
31:31The letter opener.
31:33Lorna Madsen.
31:34It all comes back to her.
31:36Somebody wanted revenge for what happened.
31:39Who?
31:40Lorna's daughter.
31:41The six month old baby girl.
31:43She'd be about 18 now.
31:45It's possible.
31:46She clearly lied to get the job working here.
31:48Silver service waitresses don't tend to come straight from Cardiff Inferno's.
31:52Why couldn't we bother her?
31:53Why don't I just bump him off in the street?
31:55She didn't want to just kill him.
31:56She wanted him to know why.
31:58She wanted him to be scared.
32:00That's why she posted the letter under his door.
32:03It was a threat.
32:04Where's the letter?
32:04She took it from Anthony's room.
32:07Think about it.
32:08Izzy's reaction to seeing the body was to run upstairs to the bathroom.
32:13Why?
32:13There's a toilet by the kitchen.
32:15She couldn't risk you finding it in the house.
32:18Didn't it seem strange that she went to take out the bins during a storm?
32:21You'd wait until later wouldn't you?
32:23Unless you had to get rid of something urgently.
32:26Why would I kill him?
32:28It makes no sense.
32:29A lot of things make no sense.
32:30Like why you lied your way into a waitressing job.
32:32You did it to get close to Anthony didn't you?
32:34No.
32:34Yes.
32:35You tried to poison him and when that didn't work you stabbed him.
32:38No.
32:38Why would I?
32:39Because he killed your mother.
32:42Mum's dead?
32:44I spoke to her this morning.
32:46You're not Lorna Madison's daughter?
32:48No.
32:48My mum's called Trish.
32:49Are you sure?
32:51Whether she's alive or she's called Trish.
32:53I mean, I'm pretty sure we're on both, but I can ring her and check.
32:56Oh, damn.
32:59What?
32:59I was really hoping your mum was dead.
33:01Not in that way.
33:03But something about you doesn't add up.
33:04So you better tell me why you're really here now or I'm taking you down the station.
33:07Now let's start with why you put a letter underneath Anthony's door.
33:11It wasn't a letter.
33:13It was a headshot.
33:14She's an actress.
33:14She lied her way here to get closer to Anthony.
33:17thought it would help her career, same as she thought you would.
33:20Oh, well that's why she was keen to talk about my process.
33:24Was it really?
33:25I didn't worry she was flirting.
33:27With you?
33:28Ego much?
33:29As if she wants to see you in your speedos with all your danglage.
33:33It does take us back to square one though.
33:36I was sure she was the daughter.
33:38I did feel right.
33:40Emotionally.
33:41An obsessive needing revenge for a loss right in the past.
33:46Oh, Chappell.
33:49Chappell.
33:54You fool.
33:56It's obvious.
33:57It wasn't the daughter.
33:59But it was the daughter.
34:02Just once, please.
34:04Make sense.
34:07The road's been cleared now so you're all free to go.
34:10Once we've sorted out the little matter of who killed Anthony.
34:18Now, this murder is at its heart about a woman called Lorna Madison.
34:24A young woman who died because of Anthony Hart 18 years ago.
34:29Driving to collect his post.
34:31Hence, the letter opener.
34:34I really like the word hence.
34:35I should use it more often.
34:36The letter opener was significant.
34:40Symbolic.
34:42Wasn't it, Dennis?
34:44No way.
34:45You were the big inconsistency from the start.
34:49The huge fan of Phoenix.
34:51Who wasn't interested in the show.
34:53I told you I liked it because me and my daughter were into it.
34:57Your daughter.
34:58Yes.
34:59You were telling the truth there.
35:01I could tell how much you miss her.
35:03But there'd been no falling out between you.
35:06You'd do anything to see your daughter again.
35:10But you can't.
35:12Because Lorna is dead.
35:15The only genuine emotion you showed was when you saw Anthony shouting at Izzy.
35:19Seeing him push around a young woman the way he pushed your daughter around.
35:23Do you deny it, Dennis?
35:29That man.
35:31Maybe he wasn't in the car.
35:33But he killed my girl.
35:36Every time I saw his smug face on the telly, this thing grew inside me.
35:40I knew I'd have to finish him off one day.
35:42Just had to find out how to get to him.
35:44You famous people are really cagey about your whereabouts and that.
35:47Well, quite wisely in your case.
35:50When I saw the ad for this.
35:51Couldn't believe my luck.
35:53First thing I thought of was the letter opener.
35:57Seemed fitting.
35:59Here's your mail.
36:01I'd snuck off and changed the place cards earlier.
36:05Said I needed the room.
36:07In actual fact, I'd got the prostate of a 25 year old.
36:11Then I came down before lunch.
36:13Asked for an autograph for my little girl.
36:15He asked me her name.
36:17I told him.
36:18Lorna Madison.
36:25They were the last words he heard.
36:28You killed my dad.
36:32Saved you the job in the end.
36:36What?
36:37You'd already started your plan to kill your dad.
36:40Poisoning him with brake fluid in the margarita.
36:43That's a whole joy I know to make cocktails.
36:45Rowan wouldn't murder his father.
36:47He had to.
36:48Anthony threatened to cut him off.
36:50Good work, Detective.
36:52I couldn't really miss that.
36:53This is absurd.
36:54There's no evidence.
36:55The tequila bottle.
36:56It's empty, but there'll be traces.
37:02Yeah, okay.
37:04You got me.
37:05It's very good.
37:07When I saw him at the table, the tears were real.
37:09I was so relieved.
37:11Thank you, Dennis.
37:12Thanks to you, I walk free.
37:14And inherit everything.
37:16Yeah.
37:17Nah.
37:17No.
37:18You're still going to be arrested.
37:20It's still attempted murder.
37:21What?
37:23No.
37:25Please, no.
37:26It was a joke.
37:28Doesn't grief do that to some people?
37:29Gallus humor, no?
37:31Oh, come on.
37:32Wasn't even enough poison to kill him.
37:34It would have taken me weeks.
37:36A good lawyer will get me off.
37:37And how are you going to afford a good lawyer?
37:41Oh, Aunt Hell, maybe you...
37:42You little shit.
37:43You'll never receive a penny from me again.
37:46That'll be your ride, boys.
37:50We can come to the arrangement.
37:51Me and you.
37:53Neutral arrangement.
37:54Backs get scratched.
37:56A bribe there, I can't get it clearer.
37:58What's the shirt?
38:00There you go, Chowdhury.
38:01Didn't miss out on all the excitement with your dead sheep.
38:03Didn't you hear?
38:04It wasn't a sheep carcass at all.
38:06It was a human's.
38:07What?
38:08It'd been in the drain for years.
38:10Clark wants us on it straight away.
38:11I'll see you back at the station, alright?
38:12Okay, alright.
38:15Er, I need to head straight down to the station.
38:19Well, your car.
38:20You gonna make it?
38:21Oh, I hope so.
38:23But, maybe you are right.
38:25Maybe I do need to start thinking about...
38:27Maybe...
38:28Thinking about...
38:29Letting it go.
38:31We don't want to be stuck in the past, like Dennis.
38:34You ought to give us a good review on TripAdvisor.
38:37Oh, that's for sure.
38:38Give me a second.
38:39Johnny?
38:41You're not going?
38:42Yeah.
38:43We'll get back, yeah.
38:45Helen, look, um...
38:46If you're not, er...
38:49Preoccupied in doing...
38:50You know, with the...
38:51You trying to...
38:52Ask me out?
38:53I think I am, yeah.
38:55Dinner?
38:57Talk about old times?
38:59Maybe make some new times?
39:01Yes.
39:02I'd...
39:02I'd love that.
39:05Right.
39:06Excellent.
39:07Great.
39:09Lovely.
39:10Oh, Johnny Chappell, you've got me all flustered.
39:16I can't believe the vicar did it.
39:18We'll be booking again for next year.
39:20Oh, before you go, John Chappell, can I get one more photo of the super slows together, huh?
39:26One more?
39:27You've been taking photos this whole time?
39:28Yeah.
39:30Please, tell me you haven't sent them to anyone.
39:33Well, just after...
39:34The kids.
39:34You got quite the response on social media.
39:36Oh.
39:37Oh, God.
39:38No, no, no, no.
39:40Delete, delete.
39:41Delete them all.
39:41Delete them all.
39:44I'm so fired.
39:46Oh, we're in the paper.
39:47Washed-up actor.
