00:13If you'd be so good as to follow me, ladies and gentlemen!
00:18So, the game begins.
00:24Thanks a lot.
00:31You're all here.
00:33Marvellous.
00:35Luncheon is served with a side dish of...
00:41Murder!
00:49Now, first of all, meet your detective, actor and national treasure, Anthony Hart,
00:54or, as you know him, Elliot Flame from television's Phoenix.
01:00Erm, I'll tell.
01:02Before I was supposed to play the victim.
01:04You were.
01:07Dad?
01:07Oh, OK.
01:09Oh!
01:10Oh!
01:11Oh!
01:29One fatal stab to the heart.
01:33Yes, Malawin.
01:35Oh, nice of you to join us.
01:36We were expecting you half an hour ago.
01:37I know, I know.
01:38Car trouble.
01:39But don't worry, sir.
01:40I'm on it.
01:40Just gotta order a new part.
01:43Well, really old part.
01:44A detective needs a car that works, not a mobile skip.
01:47Yeah, absolutely, sir.
01:48Great point.
01:48Couldn't agree more.
01:50Now, half the guests were on a garden tour all morning, so we've ruled them out and sent them on.
01:55But we need statements from the others.
01:57And the Chief Super wants this wrapped up as quickly as possible to keep the eyes of the press office.
02:01It'll be like a circus here tomorrow.
02:03Are you saying I've only got 24 hours?
02:05What?
02:05No.
02:06Aw, can you?
02:07Makes it feel proper dramatic.
02:09Look.
02:10Wrap this up quickly.
02:11And keep the force from press scrutiny.
02:13And that promotion's as good as yours.
02:16Great.
02:17Where's Chowdhury?
02:18Farming dispute.
02:19Gibsons and the Lewises out near Kebany Shell.
02:21It's all kicked off there.
02:22I gotta go, too.
02:23Two officers for warring farmers?
02:25No.
02:26Kayleigh's been suspended from school for spreading malicious rumours about a teacher,
02:30which I happen to know are perfectly true, but that's beside the point.
02:33Well, don't worry, sir.
02:33I've got it down here.
02:34Right, thanks.
02:35Keep me posted.
02:36Oh, also, you two were teenage girls once.
02:40Say, hypothetically, your father locked you in a police cell to teach you about responsibility.
02:45Do you think that'd be a good life lesson?
02:47No.
02:48No.
02:50Okay.
02:53Right.
02:54Cause of death.
02:55Stab wounds directly to the heart.
02:57Angle of entry suggests the killer was standing in front of him.
03:00No defence wounds.
03:01Interesting detail about the weapon, though.
03:03It's not a knife.
03:04It's a letter opener.
03:06Other strange detail.
03:07He's wearing make-up.
03:09Foundation over his left eye.
03:10Someone punched him.
03:12Fairly recently, from the look of it.
03:14Anthony Hart.
03:15Mm.
03:16Legend.
03:19Sounds wrong to say, but I thought he was already dead.
03:21Me too.
03:29Can I go home?
03:31This is a murder investigation.
03:33Nobody is going to leave this house until I've taken a statement.
03:37Look at the police notebook, honey.
03:39The attention to detail.
03:41I'm not sure I'd buy those shoes on the cap, though.
03:43Oh.
03:44Okay.
03:45Sorry.
03:46What are both your names?
03:47Huh?
03:48Oh.
03:50Well, I'm Tennis Fairweather.
03:54Owner of the South African Diamond Mine.
03:56I'm Petty and Bill Marcus.
03:58I'm Petty and Bill Marcus.
03:58I keep trying to explain to him that this is not part of the game.
04:01It's not.
04:02It's absolutely not.
04:03Someone died.
04:04Sure.
04:05Officer.
04:07Okay.
04:08Um, can everybody apart from the family of the deceased please wait outside?
04:12Right.
04:12Loudly.
04:13I need a drink.
04:15Who would want to kill Dad?
04:17It's horrible.
04:19So, you both lived here with Anthony?
04:21Uh, no.
04:22Ugh.
04:22No.
04:23I live in Ibiza.
04:24I'm only here because Dad came home.
04:26My brother came back last month.
04:28He'd signed up to do these events for a year.
04:31This is the Hart family home.
04:34Oh, good.
04:35That'll be him.
04:36I've asked a friend to come round.
04:38I need someone to be with me.
04:40This is a murder scene.
04:42You can't be inviting random people along.
04:43He's not some random person.
04:45He's a very dear old friend.
04:47Oh, right.
04:48Well, why didn't he say so?
04:53Oh, Johnny.
04:55My hero.
04:57Fighting through the rain to comfort me.
05:01Eleanor, it's just so awful.
05:05Anthony murdered her.
05:07Unthinkable, isn't it?
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:08Got a house full of strangers.
05:10I just needed someone familiar.
05:15Oh.
05:16Um, look, I, er...
05:18I know what you're going through,
05:20and the last thing you want to be doing is cooking,
05:21so I...
05:22I'll pick some...
05:23food up.
05:25Oh.
05:27Johnny.
05:28This is why I needed you.
05:30You understand me.
05:33I think you may be one of the few people I've never understood.
05:39Um, can I have a word with Johnny, is it?
05:44Hmm.
05:47This is your new case, is it?
05:49Yes, and it's very time-sensitive.
05:51If I wanted your help, I would have called.
05:53Oh, yeah, Dyla Lackey, of course, yeah.
05:56Well, it's been quite a time since you've pestered me.
05:59I thought perhaps you'd pass me over,
06:01now that you were up and running.
06:04Hey, but if you're gonna touch evidence...
06:07Glover.
06:08Oh, these horrible things.
06:11Ugh.
06:12Make me look like some aging smurf.
06:15Okay.
06:20Interesting murder weapon, though, isn't it, eh?
06:23A table covered in steak knives,
06:26yet they use a letter opener.
06:28It tells us that the weapon is significant,
06:30pregnant, with meaning to our manufacturer.
06:33Or they just grabbed it from the house.
06:36Helena's not the type to own a letter opener.
06:38Precision's not in her armory.
06:39She'd tear her envelopes open.
06:42A very passionate woman.
06:45Is she now, John Chappell?
06:48Is that why you're here?
06:51To get your leg over?
06:53Well, I am not here to get my leg over,
06:56you appalling vulgarian!
06:59Helena's a dear friend,
07:01we actually met through Anthony.
07:03Some of my happiest memories are in this house.
07:06So, you were mates?
07:08Very good mates for a while,
07:09then sadly, bitter rivals.
07:12Phoenix on ITV,
07:13Caesar on BBC got quite feisty.
07:16Hmm.
07:17Well, he won in the end.
07:19What?
07:19You think Anthony Hart was more successful than me
07:22because he chose to defect to America?
07:24Why didn't you ever go to America?
07:26You know, I was asked.
07:28Begged, even.
07:29I could never make the dates work.
07:31Anyway,
07:32can you picture me
07:34sitting around a pool all day
07:36in my Speedo?
07:37Oh, I've had enough traumatic images in my head today
07:39with a dead body.
07:40Do you mind?
07:41There was a time when I happened to look rather striking in a Speedo.
07:44You can get away with it now, though.
07:46Too much danglage.
07:48All right.
07:49Okay.
07:50I'm gonna go and ask Helena what she knows about the murder weapon.
07:54Yeah, and I'll see what I can find out from the other guests.
07:57But don't take too long with Helena.
07:59She must be suffering terribly.
08:09Interesting chapel.
08:16Hmm.
08:19Interesting.
08:25Never seen it before in my life.
08:27I'm fairly certain it isn't from the house.
08:30Though I have had four rather strong whiskies.
08:34Right.
08:35Very interesting.
08:38Actually, not that interesting.
08:39Don't know why I said that.
08:40So, you and John Chapel.
08:43What's the story there?
08:45Oh, brilliant, sensitive John.
08:48Would wake a girl up with a poem and a buttered tea cake.
08:52You used to wake up with John Chapel?
08:54Yes.
08:55Is this relevant?
08:57Very.
08:57Essential background.
09:00Oh, right.
09:01Johnny used to stay here a lot back in the 80s.
09:05Um, and...
09:06Well, we...
09:07We had a bit of a fling.
09:09Nothing serious.
09:10He was a wonderful love maker.
09:13Oh, God.
09:14God, no.
09:15And then fate intervened.
09:17And then fate intervened.
09:17I went on holiday to Marrakesh.
09:19While I was away, he met the lovely Ellen.
09:22They were soul mates from the off.
09:25I came back with a deep tan, a gorgeous rug and a broken heart.
09:31Aw.
09:33At least you got a rug.
09:36Mm.
09:38And you've stayed in touch all this time?
09:39No, no, no.
09:40He went off grid when Ellen died.
09:43Poor thing.
09:44Wouldn't even pick up the phone.
09:45It's only recently he's got back in touch.
09:48Why?
09:49There's a young lady in his life.
09:52Nothing like that.
09:53An acquaintance.
09:55But, um, whatever she's done, he's really back to his old self.
10:00Seems to be alive again.
10:02Mm.
10:03Did I mention he was a wonderful love maker?
10:07OK, I think we're done.
10:10Oh, marvellous.
10:11Well, um, I think I might go for a bit of a lie down.
10:16Do, uh, wake me up if you find the killer.
10:23There you go.
10:26You did say tea, yeah?
10:28Oh, actually, I asked for an extra hot latte making.
10:31Yeah.
10:32Well, that might be a challenge.
10:34Izzy's a nice girl, but she's quite useless for a silver service waitress.
10:38She was so spooked earlier.
10:39She bolted upstairs to the bathroom when she saw the body.
10:42Well, that's interesting.
10:43Excuse me.
10:45Oh, no.
10:46Oh, yeah.
10:46No, yeah.
10:47Just walk away.
10:48It's definitely done talking.
10:53Don't mind me.
10:54Quite the tricky murder we've got going on here, eh?
10:58Oh, this is a murder.
10:59A man is dead.
11:03I've tried, Mr. Chappell.
11:06I'm Paddy Marcus.
11:08This is Bill.
11:09Charmed.
11:10Sorry, love.
11:11I think that's got sugar in.
11:13It's the margaritas all over again, eh?
11:16Margaritas?
11:17Anthony asked me to make him a margarita earlier.
11:20He took one sip, said it was disgusting, and then he lost it.
11:23Oh, when's this?
11:23The welcome drinks when we all arrived.
11:26And he cleared off.
11:28Locked himself in his room all day, even though we paid good money to meet him.
11:32Yeah.
11:33Dennis Williams.
11:35I can make cocktails.
11:36I worked a bar in Cardiff Inferno, so I made the best skittle bombs out of anyone.
11:39I don't doubt it.
11:41Cardiff Inferno wouldn't dare cast aspersions on your mixology skills.
11:47Thanks, love.
11:49Look, I know probably now is a bad time, but I've just got to say I am such a huge
11:53fan.
11:53I've even watched your Masterclass DVD.
11:56Really?
11:57Well, that's amazing.
11:58Yeah, we found it in Grandad's underwear drawer when we were clearing his house out.
12:01It's best didn't see how hard you work.
12:03Fair play.
12:04Oh, wow.
12:05Acting.
12:06Proper acting.
12:06It can be incredibly taxing.
12:09And nurses think they've got it tough.
12:11Sorry, you're just pulling your leg.
12:15Marvellous sense of humour.
12:17It's all right, I'm not immune to a bit of ribbing.
12:21You seem like a sharp tack, Dennis.
12:24What's your take on all this?
12:26I think it's the Curse of Phoenix.
12:28The Curse of Phoenix?
12:31Ah, you have to tell me all about this.
12:34Well, there was a girl who worked on the show Who Died years ago.
12:39And two actors suffered heart attacks while filming.
12:42And now this.
12:44There's no such thing as bloody curses.
12:46Anthony wasn't killed by a myth or a legend.
12:49It was someone in this house.
12:50Yes.
12:51If you'll excuse me, I need the loo.
12:54Prostate the size of a cantaloupe.
12:58Can I borrow, Mr Chappell?
13:01Please excuse me.
13:03Yeah, right.
13:07How can I help, Detective?
13:10So, what do you make of our guests?
13:13Interesting little bunch.
13:14Yeah.
13:15Well, Dennis.
13:16Something not quite right there.
13:18No, no.
13:19But what is it, Chappell?
13:20What is it?
13:20Performance?
13:21Artifice?
13:21It's not a thing at all.
13:22But it's here.
13:23A murder mystery event.
13:25No, that dog won't hurt.
13:26No, no, no.
13:26Plus, he mocked me.
13:27Oh, right.
13:29Yeah, he bruised your ego, so he must be our killer.
13:31Anything actually useful?
13:33Anthony spent all afternoon in his room.
13:35Have you searched it yet?
13:36Not yet, but I was going to.
13:38Oh, yeah?
13:38Do you want to come?
13:40Well, I really ought to go and see Helena.
13:43Oh, she's having a lie down.
13:44But you could wake her up in a bit with a poem and a buttered tea cake.
13:50What?
13:50Oh, come on.
13:58Ah!
14:02Somebody's hand-delivered a letter to Anthony.
14:08And, um, it's missing.
14:10Oh!
14:10PHONE RINGS
14:12Dean!
14:15Yes, thank you.
14:17Yeah, I need to bring my car in again.
14:20The usual.
14:21And there's a burnt hair smell.
14:24Oh, and it keeps making this noise.
14:27Er...
14:28Well, sort of like, um...
14:31PHONE RINGS
14:36Thanks, thanks.
14:37Bye.
14:41Interesting car sentimentality.
14:44You usually get it with men.
14:46Or parents.
14:47But I don't get it with you.
14:49There's nothing to get.
14:49I like my car.
14:50I like VHS tapes.
14:52I don't watch them anymore.
14:53It's not as simple as that.
14:56My car...
14:58It was Sian's.
14:59She left it to me.
15:00So it means a bit more than a flipping VHS tape.
15:04It's funny.
15:05We used to pretend to be you.
15:07Just driving round.
15:09Looking for crime.
15:10She was a weirdo too, was she?
15:13No wonder you were close.
15:14Oi, we weren't weird.
15:15We were cool.
15:15And I don't want to watch all of that just get crushed up into a little metal cube.
15:20So just leave my car alone.
15:22Oi.
15:25Very odd mix of magazines.
15:29Anthony didn't seem the celeb junk mag type to me.
15:34There's nothing here.
15:36Do you think this looks like someone who was planning on staying for good?
15:40Well, it's hard to say, isn't it?
15:42Us actors aren't all about possessions.
15:45Our accumulated baggage is on the inside.
15:48I don't think he was staying.
15:50Helena said he'd signed up to do these events for a year.
15:54If he was going to do a runner, that would give her a pretty good motive.
15:58Helena, fratricide is preposterous.
16:00Why don't you go and, erm, rouse her from her slumber and see what you can find out?
16:05I'm here to comfort Helena, not interrogate her.
16:09Anyway, we should be talking to the son, Owen.
16:11He just came back to see his father, who was then murdered.
16:15Seemed very coincidental.
16:17Okay, deal.
16:18I'll go talk to him and you go charm the lady of the manor.
16:25Erm, I, er, haven't read this week's and, erm, well, need to flush out a little suspect of my own.
16:39So, Ibiza.
16:43Sounds nice.
16:46Lots of parties.
16:47That's what my life used to look like, but not now.
16:50I run a wellness retreat.
16:52Why, Ibiza? Couldn't you run a wellness retreat here?
16:57Nobody gets well in powers.
16:59For a start, you need vitamin D and sunshine.
17:02Do you have to do that now?
17:03Yoga's great for processing grief.
17:10You grew up here?
17:12Do you know, sometimes I wish I'd just had a more wholesome, humble upbringing that you probably had.
17:18Excuse me, we had Sky, and we went to Crete.
17:23Did anything out the ordinary happen running up to the event?
17:28No, I don't think so.
17:31Although, you know, a few days ago, Dad was acting strange.
17:36How?
17:37Kept trying to get rid of everyone.
17:38Sent Aunt Hell off into town to get supplies and told me to make myself scarce for the afternoon.
17:44But, I came back early, and he wasn't alone.
17:47He was with a woman.
17:50Okay, can you describe this woman?
17:53Yeah, erm, she was young.
17:56Dark hair.
17:57Bit like you, I suppose.
17:58But elegant and stylish.
18:01Hey, I'm stylish.
18:02Have you seen my little crop, Jackie?
18:10You, up on the roof, bellowing poetry in a hurricane.
18:16We all thought you were mad.
18:17No, no, the technical term is steaming.
18:21Latvian vodka, if I remember correctly, which I probably don't.
18:25Poor Johnny.
18:27I feel awful laughing in all this.
18:31Are you okay, Ellen?
18:33Really?
18:35No, I have to be.
18:36There's much to be done when this place doesn't look after itself.
18:41It's not a bit too much.
18:43Are you on your own?
18:45Sometimes.
18:46It'd be nice to have someone else around to help.
18:51Owen comes now and then, usually when he's run out of money.
18:56Perceptive of them to come to you for money, rather than Anthony.
19:01Well, they'd have their troubles.
19:03He did rather run off the rails in his youth.
19:07I say that's what being young's for, but, uh, Anthony was very hard on him.
19:13Even yesterday they had a row.
19:15What about?
19:16You've no idea.
19:18Now that's very odd.
19:21This door is always locked.
19:24That's the third door that's like it.
19:26There are two more upstairs that have been unlocked.
19:29Very strange.
19:34Thank you for being here.
19:36It makes everything that much more bearable.
19:39I just want everyone out of this house.
19:42I think the place will be done soon and everyone will be out of your hair.
19:46Yeah. That's not happening.
19:48The road's flooded.
19:51I'm sorry, but you will all have to stay here overnight.
19:54Oh, a little predictable, but I like it.
19:57Izzy, where have you been?
20:00I was just taking the bins out.
20:02In this weather.
20:03Is everyone here insane?
20:08Well, I suggest everybody locks themselves in their rooms until the morning,
20:11when hopefully the road will be clear.
20:15I am certain of two things, Atkins.
20:20One, there is a killer in our midst.
20:23And two, they shall presently lament
20:26trying to commit a murder under the nose of Charles Caesar.
20:31We've had a statement in from one of the neighbours, sir.
20:33Do you have to watch that now?
20:36It helps me think.
20:37Eric.
20:39It's distracting.
20:41It's transporting me back to my character.
20:45It's conflicting my psyche.
20:46Oh, this is a good bit.
20:49Oh.
20:51Chowdhury!
20:52Sorry, I was meant to call you earlier, but I've been with the Lewis's all day.
20:56Got to get a team in from Welsh Water to clear out the drains tomorrow
20:58before Dave Lewis, and I quote,
21:01puts Tom Gibson through the wall.
21:03Ah, that sounds really boring.
21:05Are you joking?
21:06They're going to let me hold the big hose.
21:08I can't wait.
21:10Anyways, I've been looking into Anthony Hart.
21:13You're going to want to hear this.
21:15He was booked on a flight back to LA next week.
21:18So he wasn't sticking around?
21:19No, but also, he filed for bankruptcy in the US.
21:23He was skint.
21:26OK, bye!
21:28Well, the bankruptcy explains why Anthony was doing those events
21:32who needed the money.
21:34A very unimaginative conclusion.
21:36Oh, for...
21:37OK, why do you imagine I'm wrong?
21:40Because if Anthony needed money, his agent could have got him an advert.
21:43It would have been easier and ultimately less humiliating.
21:46But bankruptcy, we're talking a lot of money.
21:48I bought a boat once from just doing an advert for Japanese vacuum cleaners.
21:53Mind you, it wasn't just for the money.
21:54I actually believed in suckle suck and clean.
21:59OK, well, while I YouTube that, why don't we call it a night?
22:05You could, erm, go for a nightcap with Helena.
22:09No, I don't think so.
22:12Why?
22:13She clearly fancies you.
22:16Don't you like her?
22:19Of course I do.
22:20What's stopping you?
22:22You're single.
22:24I haven't been a single man since 1986.
22:27I have a wife.
22:28You can't keep living in the past.
22:31Oh, that's rich, coming from somebody driving around in hers.
22:34Just leave it, OK?
22:36OK, fine.
22:52I didn't have to leave the house.
22:53I can't leave the house.
22:58I'm not gonna leave the house.
22:59It's a big house.
23:06LAUGHTER
23:09I'm not gonna leave the house.
23:09I'm a little beauty.
23:10I'm a little green-eyed man.
23:10I can't wait and see what the house is.
23:11It's a big house doesn't have to leave the house.
23:11I'm a little green-eyed man.
23:15How about a new house?
23:16Oh, that's not getting us.
23:21Oh, Hannah, I'm so sorry.
23:24Um, well, I don't know, which is with, um, it's still a lot.
23:27Oh, right, yeah, it's mine.
23:29Sorry about that.
23:31Oh, I see you've found your old dressing gown.
23:35Yeah.
23:36Still fits.
23:37Yeah, it does, yeah.
23:40Brought back some memories.
23:44Fond memories, I hope.
23:48Oh, yeah.
23:50Well, um, I, I don't think I'm going to get back to sleep right now.
23:59Maybe a nightcap might be a good idea.
24:05Maybe.
24:07Oh.
24:10Yes.
24:17You do that, then, yeah, ah, I better not join you, no.
24:22I only end up on the roof, shouting poetry again, yeah.
24:26It's a bit dangerous in this weather, it'd be like a lightning rod, yeah.
24:30Poof.
24:33Oh, God.
24:33Oh, yeah, I'd better get my head down, yeah.
24:36Eight hours and all that, advisable in our age group, I believe, yeah.
24:39I heard it on a podcast, you know.
24:41Oh, well, yes, I won't keep you.
24:43Night-night, eh.
24:45Sleep tight.
24:46Get on, well, uh, can I have a night tonight?
24:52I've slept on it, and I think I know who the mystery woman that Owen saw is.
24:57What if, right, she is the lover Anthony came back for, but she had a jealous husband,
25:05and the husband joined the murder mystery event to kill his love rival, Dennis.
25:14What, Dennis had a glamorous younger wife?
25:17What do they talk about, his enlarged prostate?
25:19No, no, no, no.
25:21Well, I don't see you coming up with any better ideas.
25:23Well, while you were busy sleeping, my subconscious, my antennae were busy deducing.
25:29It's obvious who this woman is.
25:31Getting everyone out of the house, the unlocked doors, must have been an estate agent.
25:35Anthony was going to sell the house?
25:37Well, it's the only logical reason for him to come back.
25:39He needed money fast, it was his only asset.
25:42An estate agent would want to see every room, hence the unlocked doors.
25:47Hmm.
25:48I'll get Chowdhury to look into it.
25:50Okay.
25:52If Dennis didn't do it, how about Owen?
25:56He could be our killer.
25:57Why?
25:58Well, because he's annoying, and I don't trust him.
26:01All his yoga, and his yoga gear, and his yoga pants.
26:05Yeah, you've got more of an issue with yoga than Owen.
26:07Well, it's just stretching, and everybody that does it thinks they're Gwyneth Paltrow,
26:10and I'm sick of it.
26:12Plus, he smells of biscuits.
26:15Hmm.
26:15He's guilty.
26:16If we just knew why him and Anthony argued, we could prove it.
26:24Well, you're not going to find the answer in there.
26:29Actually...
26:30Cut this weight.
26:32I'm kind of busy right now because our useless maid for the weekend
26:34just leaves all the cocktail stuff lying around.
26:37Won't take long.
26:38Ooh, tequila.
26:40I love a tequila slammer.
26:42Yeah, you seem like the sort of person who would.
26:47Right.
26:48We need to talk now about this.
26:54Love Island stars hide away regret.
26:58Oh, erm...
26:59Just, yeah.
27:01London party animals.
27:03That would be you rolling out in the back of a cab in Soho.
27:07Mm-hmm.
27:08That's why you and Anthony argued.
27:10There is no wellness retreat.
27:12You've been living in London, partying on Daddy's money.
27:15He found out and summoned you home.
27:17You had to make it look like you were living in Ibiza.
27:20Hence the fake tan.
27:22Looks the part, but as anyone whose mum loves fake tan as much as mine knows,
27:26it smells like biscuits.
27:28The nose doesn't lie.
27:31Fine.
27:32Mm-hmm.
27:33Yeah.
27:34Dad called me and told me to come home at once.
27:38Mm-hmm.
27:38And, well, you know, you don't ignore the big chief.
27:41And Anthony showed you the magazine?
27:43Mm.
27:44Said it was the final straw.
27:46No more money.
27:48Pretty big motive for murder.
27:49Mm-hmm.
27:51OK, now, wait a minute.
27:53OK, he was threatening to cut me off all the time.
27:55Plus, I could just borrow from Aunt Hell.
27:57Or bump him off and inherit everything.
28:01No, I wouldn't.
28:02I couldn't do it.
28:04You know, most of the Zen stuff's an act,
28:06but deep down, I'm actually a really peaceful guy.
28:08Hugs, not drugs, you know.
28:10Although I do really love drugs.
28:12Look, if anyone wanted to hurt Dad, it was that old guy.
28:16He threatened him.
28:18You threatened to punch, Anthony.
28:20Was it you that gave him the black eye?
28:22No.
28:23We had words, that's all.
28:25I was standing up for the girl, you know, the maid.
28:27Is he?
28:28Yeah.
28:29He had a pop at her about his margarita being too sweet,
28:32so I told him to pick on someone his own size.
28:34Mm.
28:36Ooh.
28:39Chowdhury.
28:40Yeah, er, er, I've got to take this, sorry.
28:44Chowdhury, what'd you get?
28:45Well, hopefully, we can all go home soon.
28:48Not soon enough, as far as I'm concerned.
28:51Well, this is what I can't understand about you, Dennis.
28:54Everyone else, I get why they're here.
28:57They enjoy all this.
28:59The artifice.
29:01So do I.
29:03And nurses think they got it tough?
29:05No, no, you know time for dressing up.
29:08Make-believe you're a practical man.
29:11So, why have you spent a small fortune to be here?
29:17You're right.
29:19I'm not like the others.
29:23Oddballs.
29:25I think a lot of TV crime stuff's just nonsense.
29:30Agreed.
29:31Well, it's actually what made Caesar so remarkable.
29:34But it's not about Caesar, sorry.
29:36Carry on.
29:37I am a sucker for Phoenix.
29:39Really?
29:40Well, I found it to be formulaic,
29:42but it's all a matter of a taste, of course.
29:43Now, please, please, carry on.
29:44My daughter was a huge fan.
29:46We'd watch her together every week without fail.
29:49What happened to your daughter, Dennis?
29:52She moved to Canada years ago.
29:55I don't see her anymore.
29:57It's only Canada.
29:59Flights are cheaper than coming here.
30:02It's not that simple.
30:03We fell out.
30:06Things can't go back to how they were.
30:09No, they never can.
30:12That's why I came here.
30:15Daft old sot.
30:16I saw my advertiser and I thought it might feel like me and her were still together somehow.
30:22I didn't want to admit it because, well, it makes me sound bonkers.
30:28You're not bonkers, Dennis.
30:32Well, maybe you are, but, er...
30:37We're all a bit bonkers, aren't we?
30:39Ha, ha, ha, ha.
30:41Ah, yes.
30:43OK, I will need you to come in and make an official statement.
30:47Yes, bye, love you.
30:48Oh, I don't know why I said that.
30:50Oh, hang up!
30:52That was her estate agent.
30:54My estate agent?
30:56You thought it was Dennis's younger wife, remember?
30:58Potato, tomato.
30:59She did meet with Anthony to put the house on the market.
31:02She called back to confirm some details a few days ago,
31:05but said the call was answered by Anthony's sister.
31:08No.
31:08Yes.
31:09Helena said they were still considering it
31:11and hadn't confirmed 100% whether they'd be selling.
31:16No, no, no.
31:17Helena would never sell the house.
31:19Which puts Helena in the frame.
31:22There was a call from some woman, but I was rushed off my feet.
31:26I just said what I thought would get her off the line.
31:30Oh, oh.
31:32I must have, er...
31:34I must have got a shock from the light switch.
31:37You didn't confront Anthony.
31:40I didn't think it was serious.
31:45Weird.
31:46Didn't hurt me.
31:47But then I didn't hurt my hand-attacking Anthony guard.
31:51I'm good, admit it.
31:52Maybe not the time, but very good, yes.
31:56Is it true, Helena?
32:00The selfishness.
32:02Typical Anthony.
32:04He was trying to sell my home.
32:07Well, you couldn't let that happen, so you didn't.
32:08You stopped him.
32:09No, no, no, no.
32:10We argued.
32:10I was furious and I hit him, but that was all.
32:13I needed him to make these events a success.
32:16I spent months putting everything in place.
32:18Not strictly true.
32:19Not everything.
32:22Think.
32:23Chapel.
32:24Yes.
32:25The name cards were in the wrong place.
32:28But I triple-checked all the place settings myself yesterday morning.
32:33It's definitely in the wrong place, see?
32:35Well, that's even stranger.
32:37The name's wrong.
32:38There was no Lorna Madison.
32:41Patty was supposed to be a different name.
32:42Mary Murphy O'Toole.
32:44I came up with all the names myself,
32:46and I was particularly pleased with that one.
32:48Very Irish.
32:49Mm.
32:50It's been tampered with.
32:54So who is Lorna Madison?
32:56Lorna Madison worked as a production assistant on the TV show Phoenix.
33:00Where is she now?
33:02Dead.
33:02Died in a car crash in 2007 whilst working on the show.
33:06According to the inquest, she fell asleep at the wheel.
33:09She was driving from set to London after a 15-hour working day
33:13to go pick up Anthony Hart's mail from his house.
33:15All that to pick up some mail?
33:17What an arse.
33:18Left behind a husband and a six-month-old daughter.
33:22Hmm.
33:23Also, we've had an update from Baxton on the toxicology.
33:25Said she's rushed the results to, so you owe her a pizza express.
33:29Every time.
33:30What else you say?
33:31Well, the cause of death is still a letter opener,
33:34but Anthony had traces of ethylene glycol in his system.
33:37Somebody had tried to poison him.
33:39How much did everyone hate this guy?
33:41Ethylene glycol?
33:42Found in brake fluid.
33:43Not enough to kill him.
33:45Apparently it's quite easy to hide.
33:47It tastes quite sweet.
33:48Thanks, Chaudry.
33:50Well, that explains why Anthony thought there was too much sugar syrup in his margarita.
33:54Hmm.
33:56It does rather implicate Izzy in his death.
34:00But why would she do it?
34:01I don't know.
34:03The only motives I can see come from the family.
34:06And Izzy is not family.
34:10She might be.
34:13Yeah, of course.
34:15The name card, the letter opener, Lorna Madsen, it all comes back to her.
34:22Somebody wanted revenge for what happened.
34:25Who?
34:26Lorna's daughter, the six-month-old baby girl.
34:30She'd be about 18 now.
34:31It's possible.
34:32She clearly lied to get the job working here.
34:35Silver service waitresses don't tend to come straight from Cardiff Infernos.
34:39Why could we bother when I just bump him off in the street?
34:42She didn't want to just kill him.
34:44She wanted him to know why.
34:46She wanted him to be scared.
34:48That's why she posted the letter under his door.
34:51It was a threat.
34:52Where's the letter?
34:53She took it from Anthony's room.
34:55Think about it.
34:57Izzy's reaction to seeing the body was to run upstairs to the bathroom.
35:02Why?
35:02There's a toilet by the kitchen.
35:04She couldn't risk you finding it in the house.
35:07Didn't it seem strange that she went to take out the bins during a storm?
35:10You'd wait until later, wouldn't you?
35:12Unless you had to get rid of something urgently.
35:16Why would I kill him?
35:18It makes no sense.
35:19A lot of things make no sense.
35:20Like why you lied your way into a waitressing job.
35:22You did it to get close to Anthony, didn't you?
35:24No.
35:25Yes.
35:26You tried to poison him and when that didn't work, you stabbed him.
35:28No.
35:29Why would I?
35:30Because he killed your mother.
35:33Mum's dead?
35:35I spoke to you this morning.
35:37You're not Lona Madsen's daughter?
35:39No.
35:40My mum's called Trish.
35:41Are you sure?
35:42Whether she's alive or that she's called Trish.
35:45I mean, I'm pretty sure we're on both, but I can ring her and check.
35:49Oh, damn.
35:51I was really open your mum was dead.
35:54Not in that way.
35:55But something about you doesn't add up, so you better tell me why you're really here now
35:58or I'm taking you down the station.
36:00Now, let's start with why you put a letter underneath Anthony's door.
36:05It wasn't a letter.
36:06It was a headshot.
36:07She's an actress.
36:08She lied her way here to get closer to Anthony, thought it would help her career,
36:12same as she thought you would.
36:14Oh, well, that's why she was keen to talk about my process.
36:18Was it really?
36:20I didn't worry she was flirting.
36:22With you?
36:23Ego much?
36:24As if she wants to see you in your speedos with all your danglage.
36:29Does take us back to square one, though.
36:31I was sure she was the daughter.
36:34I did feel right.
36:36Emotionally.
36:37An obsessive needing revenge for a loss right in the past.
36:42Oh, chapel.
36:48Oh, you fool.
36:53It's obvious.
36:54It wasn't the daughter, but it was the daughter.
37:00Just once, please.
37:02Makes sense.
37:05The road's been cleared now, so you're all free to go.
37:08Once we've sorted out the little matter of who killed Anthony.
37:14Oh, my...
37:15Now, this murder is at its heart about a woman called Lorna Madison,
37:23a young woman who died because of Anthony Hart, 18 years ago, driving to collect his post.
37:31Hence, the letter opener.
37:34I really like the word hence, so I should use it more often.
37:37The letter opener was significant.
37:41Symbolic.
37:42Wasn't it, Dennis?
37:44Wasn't it, Dennis?
37:45No way.
37:46You were the big inconsistency from the start.
37:50The huge fan of Phoenix, who wasn't interested in the show.
37:55I told you I liked it because me and my daughter were into it.
37:59Your daughter, yes.
38:01You were telling the truth there.
38:03I could tell how much you miss her, but there'd be no falling out between you.
38:09You'd do anything to see your daughter again.
38:13But you can't.
38:15Because Lorna is dead.
38:18The only genuine emotion you showed was when you saw Anthony shouting at Izzy,
38:23seeing him push around a young woman the way he pushed your daughter around.
38:27Do you deny it, Dennis?
38:34That man.
38:36Maybe he wasn't in the car, but he killed my girl.
38:41Every time I saw his smug face on the telly, this thing grew inside me.
38:46I knew I'd have to finish him off one day.
38:48Just had to find out how to get to him.
38:50You famous people are really cagey about your whereabouts and that.
38:53Well, quite wisely in your case.
38:56When I saw the ad for this,
38:57I couldn't believe my luck.
38:59First thing I thought of was the letter opener.
39:04Seemed fitting.
39:06Here's your mail.
39:08I'd snuck off and changed the place cards earlier.
39:12Said I needed the loo.
39:14In actual fact, I've got the prostate of a 25-year-old.
39:18Then I came down before lunch, asked for an autograph for my little girl.
39:24He asked me her name.
39:25I told him.
39:27Lorna Madison.
39:34They were the last words he heard.
39:38You killed my dad.
39:41Saved you the job in the end.
39:46What?
39:47You'd already started your plan to kill your dad.
39:50Poisoning him with brake fluid in the margarita.
39:53I told you I know to make cocktails.
39:56Rowan wouldn't murder his father.
39:57He had to.
39:59Anthony threatened to cut him off.
40:01Good work, detective.
40:03Completely missed that.
40:04This is absurd.
40:05There's no evidence.
40:06The tequila bottle.
40:07It's empty, but there'll be traces.
40:14Yeah.
40:15Okay.
40:16Yeah.
40:16You got me.
40:17It's very good.
40:18Yeah.
40:19When I saw him at the table, the tears were real.
40:21I was so relieved.
40:23Thank you, Dennis.
40:25Thanks to you, I walk free.
40:27And inherit everything.
40:29Yeah.
40:30No.
40:31You're still going to be arrested.
40:33It's still attempted murder.
40:35What?
40:37No.
40:38Please, no.
40:39It was a joke.
40:42Doesn't grief do that to some people?
40:43Gallus humor?
40:44No?
40:45Oh, come on.
40:47If it wasn't even enough poison to kill him, it would have taken me weeks.
40:50A good lawyer will get me off.
40:52And how are you going to afford a good lawyer?
40:56Oh, Aunt Helm, maybe you...
40:57You little shit.
40:59You'll never receive a penny from me again.
41:01That'll be your right, boys.
41:05We can come to an arrangement.
41:07Me and you.
41:09Mutual arrangement.
41:10Backs get scratched.
41:12A bribe there.
41:13I can't be any clearer.
41:15What's the shirt?
41:16There you go, Chowdhury.
41:18Didn't miss out on all the excitement with your dead sheep.
41:20Didn't you hear?
41:21It wasn't a sheep carcass at all.
41:23It was a human's.
41:24What?
41:25It's been in the drain for years.
41:27Clark wants us on it straight away.
41:29I'll see you back at the station, all right?
41:31Okay, all right.
41:33I need to head straight down to the station.
41:37What, in your car?
41:38You're going to make it?
41:39Oh, I hope so.
41:41But maybe you are right.
41:43Maybe I do need to start thinking about, maybe thinking about letting it go.
41:50We don't want to be stuck in the past like Dennis.
41:53You ought to give us a good review on TripAdvisor.
41:56Oh, that's for sure.
41:57Give me a second one.
41:59Thanks.
