00:00:09It's very impressive. What does it mean?
00:00:12I hope it means happy birthday, darling.
00:00:15Well, I never thought I'd be spending it in Switzerland.
00:00:18I thought it would do as good to get away for a bit.
00:00:20I knew there was something bothering you.
00:00:22Is it the Clyde Soutman case?
00:00:24I still can't believe they're saying you made a mistake and put the wrong man behind bars.
00:00:28It'll blow over.
00:00:29Now, let's make a toast.
00:00:31Yeah, but when do you hear back on his permission to appeal request?
00:00:34Next week.
00:00:35About soon.
00:00:35Sarah, Sam was guilty 17 years ago and he remains guilty today.
00:00:40Now, here's to you.
00:00:42Heart's like a gluckfunt, Schatzel.
00:00:49Nora!
00:00:50I didn't know you were on board today.
00:00:52It was Harmony's idea.
00:00:53How fortunate, only I was hoping we could have a little tête-à-tête.
00:00:56I thought we could iron a few things out.
00:00:58I'm sorry, Fabian, but I've got to sort out a few things of my own first.
00:01:03She has not been herself lately.
00:01:05Yes, and it's proving to be a bit of a problem.
00:01:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:01:17Face it.
00:01:18Don't throw it.
00:01:19Sorry, Chef.
00:01:20It's not the Olympics.
00:01:22Josh, I'm going to spill on the customers, all right?
00:01:25No, it's not my fault, Dad.
00:01:27It's the train.
00:01:30I think that's Harmony Hunter.
00:01:32Harmony who?
00:01:33I've got a pile of her novels by my bedside.
00:01:35Don't you notice anything?
00:01:36She writes murder mysteries.
00:01:43Didn't like the soup?
00:01:44Yeah, it's a bit, um, watery for me.
00:01:47John, my husband's palate has yet to be educated.
00:01:51Ignorance is bliss in this game.
00:01:53Excuse me, um, is that Harmony Hunter?
00:01:56You know her?
00:01:57Of her.
00:01:59Um, do you think she'd mind if I went over and asked for an old school?
00:02:02How would you want to do that?
00:02:03She writes books.
00:02:05It's not like she's a proper celeb.
00:02:15Just fill the glass.
00:02:23Sweetheart, study on.
00:02:27You all right, Nora?
00:02:29I'm sitting here with my husband and my two best friends,
00:02:33and I never felt more disillusioned.
00:02:42And that is service.
00:02:45Okay, I'll be out in a minute.
00:02:46Come on, come on.
00:02:50Timing is everything.
00:02:55Sorry, but you need to hear this.
00:02:58All of you do.
00:02:59Here we are.
00:03:00Four Swiss glazed ribs.
00:03:09Excuse me, my apologies.
00:03:11I would never normally do this,
00:03:12but I just want to say how much I love your books.
00:03:15Oh, that's really kind.
00:03:16Thanks so much.
00:03:17In fact, well, I've been getting a bit impatient waiting for the next one.
00:03:20Oh, it's coming.
00:03:22Trust me.
00:03:25Welcome to the Swiss Alps.
00:03:27And if one amazing trip isn't enough,
00:03:30let me take your taste buds on another wondrous voyage.
00:03:33I was in Bern, and I was assaulted in the best possible way by an aroma and a dream.
00:03:42Months of thought, trial and error, and here we are.
00:03:45My deconstructed and reconstructive version of Swiss glazed ribs.
00:03:51Please, enjoy.
00:03:57Oh, sorry.
00:03:59Dominique.
00:04:00Sorry.
00:04:00Brilliant.
00:04:02One minute.
00:04:05One minute.
00:04:08Oh.
00:04:12I'm surprised.
00:04:19Nora?
00:04:21Nora!
00:04:22John!
00:04:25John!
00:04:27John!
00:04:29John!
00:04:32Ambulance, please.
00:04:36I don't think she's breathing.
00:04:38And the police.
00:05:05I don't think she's breathing.
00:05:07I don't think she's breathing.
00:05:07I don't think she's breathing.
00:05:08I don't think she's breathing.
00:05:09I don't think she's breathing.
00:05:10I don't think she's breathing.
00:05:12I don't think she's breathing.
00:05:40You're okay?
00:05:42I did.
00:05:43That poor woman, John.
00:05:46I'm afraid you're going to have to stay for questioning.
00:05:49Of course.
00:05:51Well, for what it's worth, happy birthday.
00:05:54It's going to pop around later with a card.
00:05:56Come with a large brandy.
00:05:57It does now.
00:05:59Let's come with me.
00:06:01Oh, I thought you might need that, sir.
00:06:05Believe it or not, I was in Switzerland half an hour ago.
00:06:09Sir.
00:06:11Sir.
00:06:12Sir.
00:06:21It looks like the rib entered the ear canal, then penetrated both the eardrum and the temporal bone.
00:06:30It protects the brain.
00:06:32And the killer managed to do that in the dark.
00:06:35In the dark?
00:06:36We were in a tunnel when it happened.
00:06:38It was part of the illusion.
00:06:40I doubt it was for more than 10 or 12 seconds.
00:06:44So whoever did this was sitting at our table, then?
00:06:46Not necessarily.
00:06:47We found Liz on the floor over there.
00:06:52Is that the one that Sarah used to try to help the victim?
00:06:55We'd already backed that one.
00:06:56I'd say this is the one the killer used to hold the rib with.
00:07:00And this is what, five, six feet away?
00:07:02And if you know the layout well enough, you can reach the victim's table, grab the rib,
00:07:07do the deed, and get back to your own seat in no time at all.
00:07:12So who was sitting at this table, then?
00:07:14That was a couple.
00:07:16It might not matter.
00:07:17The killer could be crafty and have placed the napkin there on purpose.
00:07:21Or threw it from the victim's table.
00:07:24Either way.
00:07:26You've got your work cut out.
00:07:43This is unbelievable.
00:07:44How's this happened?
00:07:46Can you think of anyone on board who your wife might have upset recently?
00:07:50You clearly didn't know, Nora.
00:07:53She would do anything to not upset people.
00:07:55Well, I used to say to her, stick up for yourself, but she never did.
00:08:01Apart from with Harmony, of course.
00:08:04Harmony Hunter?
00:08:06Were there problems between them?
00:08:09All I know is that they hadn't been getting along lately, which was unusual for them.
00:08:16What was your relationship to Nora, Mrs. Hunter?
00:08:22Sorry.
00:08:23Sorry, I'm...
00:08:25I'm having trouble taking this in.
00:08:27Harmony and Nora were best friends.
00:08:31Though, not recently.
00:08:33I just heard that you and Nora haven't been on speaking terms.
00:08:38There's nothing a spot of lunch couldn't fix.
00:08:41Why did you fall out?
00:08:42Well, fall out?
00:08:43It's a bit strong.
00:08:45Mrs. Hunter.
00:08:49The thing is, I may have intimated that I thought Maxwell was not the right man for her.
00:08:57Among other things, I felt he was bleeding her dry.
00:09:00Financially.
00:09:01Nora told you as much?
00:09:03It's what friends don't say.
00:09:05That you learn to listen to.
00:09:07And how were things between you during the lunch?
00:09:11A bit frosty, to begin with.
00:09:14But we were getting there, weren't we, Anselm?
00:09:18Did you happen to tell anyone else that you were having lunch with Nora today?
00:09:23I don't think so.
00:09:24Why?
00:09:25There's a possibility that someone on board may have known that you'd invited Nora to lunch.
00:09:30And decided to kill her.
00:09:32Um, it's so obvious when you put it like that.
00:09:38I'll speak to the chef while you talk to Sarah.
00:09:40Sir.
00:09:41Sorry.
00:09:42Excuse me.
00:09:43Uh, I know how this is going to sound and strike me down for being so vulture-ish.
00:09:48Um, you might not know this, but I'm a novelist, and I was wondering if I could trail you on
00:09:55this case.
00:09:56Made some notes.
00:09:58I'm a stickler for research, and they say the truth is everything in fiction.
00:10:04I'm afraid I can't see that happening.
00:10:06Really?
00:10:07Uh, because, and again, uh, strike me down, this, this is a mystery to die for.
00:10:14Sorry, that's a terrible choice of words, and I'm obviously still in shock, but...
00:10:19You know what I mean.
00:10:21We have work to do, Mrs. Hunter.
00:10:24She's serious.
00:10:25I'm afraid she might be.
00:10:32Not at lunch today.
00:10:36Shouldn't we start cancelling tonight's bookings?
00:10:38Look, I understand that you're in shock, but I can't end up in hock, so let's just suck it up,
00:10:43yeah?
00:10:44Do you have a moment, Mr. Digney?
00:10:45Do you have to do this now?
00:10:47I have to prep it tonight.
00:10:47I very much doubt you'll be opening later.
00:10:50Oh, come on.
00:10:52You seem to be more upset about that than about Mrs. Munro's murder.
00:10:55Look, they're both a tragedy.
00:11:01Tell me, do the lights always go off like that?
00:11:04Always.
00:11:05It's part of the immersive experience.
00:11:07You fell over when we were in the tunnel.
00:11:11I get dizzy in the dark, so I try and time it so I can steady myself against the carriage
00:11:15wall.
00:11:18So you know exactly when the tunnel is approaching?
00:11:21Everyone does who works here, till the menu changes.
00:11:24Tomorrow we go to Canada, through the Rockies.
00:11:28Today's the last day of the Switzerland experience.
00:11:31Presumably the last day of ribs being served as well.
00:11:34Indeed.
00:11:35Tomorrow, it'll be moose-based casserole.
00:11:38I think the moose might have to wait, Mr. Digby.
00:11:48So, um, you were standing where exactly when Nora was murdered?
00:11:52It was no more than two feet away from her table.
00:11:55I was telling Harmony Hunter how much I love her novels.
00:11:58Wait, am I a suspect?
00:12:01Well, theoretically, but I'm sure we can rule you out.
00:12:04I should hope so.
00:12:05So, you, uh, you tried to help her, is that right?
00:12:09Um, yeah, the gentleman sat next to her at the table had just left, so...
00:12:13And you didn't see or hear anything or feel someone brush past you when you went in the tunnel?
00:12:18No, all I had was a loud crush.
00:12:21Hmm.
00:12:22Anyway, I think that's what's done.
00:12:24Okay, there's one other thing, actually.
00:12:26When the chef came out to tell people how great he was, everyone applauded.
00:12:31Except for the woman that was killed.
00:12:33Huh.
00:12:34Oh, you think she was trying to make a point?
00:12:36Yeah, I'd say that's exactly what she was doing.
00:12:40Hmm.
00:12:44Hey.
00:12:44Hey.
00:12:46I just heard about Nora.
00:12:47Are you okay?
00:12:48Me?
00:12:49I'm all worried about you.
00:12:51I just...
00:12:55You're a dad line, isn't it?
00:12:57That's me.
00:12:59And you are...
00:13:00Jerome.
00:13:01Jerome Peace.
00:13:02I'm Tyson's stepbrother.
00:13:05Did you take the booking for Harmony Hunter?
00:13:07I always take the bookings.
00:13:09Well, in that case, I'd like the names of the couple who were sitting at the table across from my
00:13:14wife and I.
00:13:15The vicar and her hot date?
00:13:17Don't know him.
00:13:18He's never been on before.
00:13:19I think she means Ferry to you and Fabian.
00:13:21And they're actually best friends.
00:13:22He runs the museum over there.
00:13:29I'll get a car to take you home.
00:13:34Sorry we didn't quite manage to get away.
00:13:36It's not your fault.
00:13:37Maybe next year we should just stick to the pub.
00:13:45Mrs. B might have given us something, sir.
00:13:48She felt there was something off between Nora and the chef.
00:13:50He's certainly not mourning her.
00:13:53We'd better interview the two remaining diners.
00:13:57Two?
00:13:57But we've only got one here.
00:14:00Well, there was also a vicar on board.
00:14:02Well, where is he?
00:14:04She, Winter.
00:14:05But you're right.
00:14:06Where is she?
00:14:09There we go.
00:14:11Oh.
00:14:11Takings down at the restaurant?
00:14:13I'd saw there.
00:14:14Thank you very much.
00:14:16If you are untrustworthy with worldly wealth,
00:14:19who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?
00:14:23Luke 16, 11.
00:14:25You're seriously going to lay that on me?
00:14:28You, you of all people.
00:14:31Just make sure everything's sorted for later.
00:14:35I see I'm not the only one seeking religious succor.
00:14:38It's a terrible thing to have happened.
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:42I'm in bits.
00:14:43Mm.
00:14:50In honor of Nora?
00:14:53I will fetch some cups.
00:15:13No, it's, uh, it's a terrible loss.
00:15:15Nora was a big part of the village.
00:15:17Did you know her well?
00:15:18Uh, more so lately.
00:15:20What with the auction and her burning desire to sell off the steam engines.
00:15:24Did she say why she had to sell them?
00:15:26Who am I to question the owner?
00:15:28You didn't approve of what Nora was doing?
00:15:29This museum used to belong to her aunt,
00:15:33and she and I spent years and years building the steam engine collection.
00:15:37And when she died, the museum fell into her lap.
00:15:41Presumably, building the collection took a lot of hard work, Mr. McQuaid.
00:15:45Oh, it was never work.
00:15:46It was, uh, it's a joy.
00:15:48It's just a life's passion.
00:15:49What happens now?
00:15:50The auction gets cancelled?
00:15:51Ah, I see.
00:15:53So you think that I killed Nora to stop the auction?
00:15:58Uh-huh.
00:15:59If anything, I would have killed her leech of her husband, Maxwell.
00:16:01He's the one I blame for the auction.
00:16:03Nora would never have done this willingly.
00:16:06He was clearly twisting her arm.
00:16:08You don't get on with him.
00:16:10He is a philistine.
00:16:13He's the one who turned that gorgeous railway carriage into an appalling excuse for a restaurant.
00:16:18And yet you went there for lunch?
00:16:20Well, I'd see for myself what Maxwell and Tyson had done.
00:16:23I thought I could use that desecration to convince Nora to call off the auction.
00:16:27Who knows what could happen to these engines?
00:16:29They could be broken down for parts, dumped in a play area, anything.
00:16:36Did you know that Nora was lunching there today?
00:16:38How could I?
00:16:38Well, you've clearly been in contact with us.
00:16:40She may have told you.
00:16:41Well, she didn't, so you'll just have to take my words with her.
00:16:49Have you seen this, sir?
00:16:55Doesn't look anything like it.
00:16:57No.
00:17:02Well, he was helpful.
00:17:03Let's hope I have more luck with the vicar.
00:17:05I'll get digging into Nora Monroe.
00:17:07Right.
00:17:14Is that a hearse?
00:17:15Yeah.
00:17:15Been dying to put one in the village.
00:17:18Do you get it, Ansel?
00:17:20Dying hearse.
00:17:22Is it really a time to be making jokes?
00:17:25Do you seem more touchy than usual?
00:17:27What did you tell the police?
00:17:29Nothing of any note.
00:17:30And I intend to keep it that way.
00:17:32Yeah.
00:17:45BELL RINGS
00:18:04Oh, fabulous.
00:18:06You've had a change of heart.
00:18:07I'll just look at my notes.
00:18:09I'm here to talk to Reverend Proudfoot,
00:18:12so if you don't mind, Mrs. Hunter...
00:18:14Oh, please.
00:18:15I beg you.
00:18:16You see, it would be my tribute to Nora,
00:18:18and, you know, it's such a brilliant mystery, so...
00:18:28How can I help you?
00:18:35Mrs. Hunter,
00:18:38footsteps usually accompany you as you leave.
00:18:42Oh, my God.
00:18:43That is such a good line.
00:18:46I might borrow that for my next novel.
00:18:48Oh, yeah, sorry.
00:18:50I'm definitely leaving.
00:18:51I mean, I'm...
00:18:52Just...
00:18:52Consider me gone.
00:18:58Do you have an office we could use?
00:19:02Of course.
00:19:03Oh, this is quite a collection.
00:19:05Oh, well, we're celebrating 500 years of black mallets,
00:19:09so I asked people to send in photos,
00:19:11and I dug the sepia ones out of my attic.
00:19:14Look, these are some of Fabians,
00:19:16and these are Nora's.
00:19:19God rest yourself.
00:19:35You, uh, left the scene of a crime.
00:19:39Why was that?
00:19:40Well, all I could think was to rush off and start praying for Nora.
00:19:44Did you know her well?
00:19:45Mm.
00:19:46We were great friends.
00:19:47She was so good to the church.
00:19:50Not shy in spreading her wealth when it was needed.
00:19:52Mm.
00:19:57Uh, it may look self-congratulatory,
00:20:00but I can assure you that's to remind me to keep up the good work.
00:20:04The more headlines I make, the more I can alert people
00:20:07to all the worthy causes I'm involved in.
00:20:10Including helping to rehabilitate ex-prisoners?
00:20:13Ah, well, trust me.
00:20:14Some people need a bit of Verity Proudfoot in their lives.
00:20:18Mm-hmm.
00:20:19Did you see or hear anything untoward on the train?
00:20:22Well, I don't know if this is relevant or not.
00:20:25Only Tyson, the chef, was talking to Nora's husband,
00:20:30and I clearly heard him tell Tyson
00:20:32that if all goes to plan, things will be sorted very soon.
00:20:36And, um, moments later, Nora was dead.
00:20:41Oh.
00:20:43Excuse me.
00:20:51Winter, get a lungful of that.
00:20:56Smells like varnish.
00:20:57Feather lab.
00:20:58It came from that chair there.
00:21:01My dad told me to get that varnish before the lunch shift.
00:21:04Which starts when, exactly?
00:21:06Twelve.
00:21:06But I left it by the back door.
00:21:09So, someone moved it and came on board before Nora was killed?
00:21:13We'll find out who when I left the fingerprint.
00:21:16Or Winter and I could just go and talk to them.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:24Ah, Mr. Peace.
00:21:26We have reason to believe you went on board tracks
00:21:28sometime around twelve o'clock today.
00:21:31You were wiping the varnish from your hand when I spoke to you earlier.
00:21:34Jerome!
00:21:35I can explain.
00:21:38Actually, wait there.
00:21:44I didn't know.
00:21:45I really didn't.
00:21:47Adeline got sent these recently.
00:21:49They're from Nora.
00:21:52She tried to disguise her, but I'd recognize her handwriting anyway.
00:21:58Why would Nora send threats?
00:22:00She denied her.
00:22:01Just say it, Jerome.
00:22:04Nora had it in for me.
00:22:05Can I...
00:22:08This still doesn't explain why you snuck on board.
00:22:13I wanted to do this in front of Nora.
00:22:16Sorry, if you don't mind, this still doesn't explain why you had to sneak around.
00:22:20I told Tyson what I was gonna do, but typical of him,
00:22:23he said it'd put people off their lunch, so I used the fire exit
00:22:26in case he tried to stop me.
00:22:29What do you say, Adeline?
00:22:34Will you marry me?
00:22:36Like I would say no to you.
00:22:43Can you talk us through why you didn't propose to Adeline earlier?
00:22:47Well, I heard a scream, didn't I?
00:22:50You didn't think to go and see what had happened?
00:22:52No, no I didn't.
00:22:53Even with the love of your life on board, it could have been Adeline screaming.
00:23:04Did you do that, sir?
00:23:06Propose in public, Mr. B.
00:23:08You think Jerome's lying?
00:23:09Well, when he snuck back inside his cottage, he could have grabbed the engagement ring
00:23:12and then just made the rest up.
00:23:14There you are.
00:23:15Look, serving your community.
00:23:18Or sunbathing, it's hard to tell some days.
00:23:21We found this in Nora's handbag.
00:23:25It was stored in the club room.
00:23:27Divorce papers?
00:23:28Oh.
00:23:29Before you pirouette away, we also found this in a handbag.
00:23:35It's a draft of Harmony Hunter's latest novel.
00:23:40Murder is my middle name.
00:23:42Why would Nora have this?
00:23:44Have some bedtime reading for you.
00:23:47It was quite long, sir.
00:23:49Don't fret.
00:23:51It's double-spaced.
00:23:59Verity actually said that.
00:24:02Pointed the finger at me.
00:24:03Are you disputing what she heard you and Tyson talking about?
00:24:06It's a bloody lootly.
00:24:13I've been working on this for Tyson.
00:24:15Is that supposed to be a restaurant?
00:24:17No, not supposed to be. It will be.
00:24:19It'll have eight times the seating capacity and ten times the attraction of tracks.
00:24:24Diners will feel like they're flying to exotic destinations.
00:24:28Now, all I was saying to Tyson was my design was almost finished.
00:24:31There was no more to it than that.
00:24:32What can you tell me about the threats that Nora was sending to Jerome's partner, Adeline?
00:24:39Threats? And what would she have against Adeline?
00:24:42A series of poison pen letters suggests that Nora still had feelings for her ex-husband.
00:24:49I can't believe you just said that.
00:24:51My wife's barely cold and you're coming out with guff like that.
00:24:55We were really happy together.
00:24:58When you say happy together...
00:25:08I don't understand.
00:25:10You didn't know about this?
00:25:12What do I look like I did?
00:25:15Okay, we had a few ups and downs. The odd disagreement.
00:25:18But not so that she'd up and leave me.
00:25:20Disagreements over what, Mr. Munro?
00:25:23You're married. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:25:25She wants to fix the church. I want a cruise sort of thing.
00:25:29That's rather specific and costly, I'd imagine.
00:25:33Did you ever fall out over your finances?
00:25:35Never.
00:25:36Did Nora need money? Was that why she arranged the auction?
00:25:40If she did, she didn't tell me.
00:25:42Fabian McQuaid thinks you were pushing her into it.
00:25:45Well, I wasn't. I don't even know what's in that weirdo's museum.
00:25:48And just for the record, I picked Nora up and dusted her down after Jerome left her high and dry.
00:25:55I made her happy again.
00:25:57And you know what else?
00:26:00She made me happy.
00:26:17How are you doing?
00:26:19I thought I might be able to escape into a world of fiction where everything's cozy and makes sense.
00:26:26How about a glass of vino instead?
00:26:28Yeah, that could work.
00:26:38Winter!
00:26:42Sorry, sir. I know you've just got in, but I can't see where they were built an aeroplane stroke restaurant.
00:26:49I've gone over every inch of this map.
00:26:51I'm sorry for the intrusion, Mrs. B.
00:26:52An aeroplane restaurant. Would that even be allowed?
00:26:55Well, that's a good point.
00:26:56Especially considering Black Mallet is celebrating 500 years as the quintessential chocolate box village.
00:27:03So it's Nora Monroe's solicitor.
00:27:05The divorce papers were drawn up a couple of weeks ago, but there's more.
00:27:09She also changed her will.
00:27:10At the same time, she left everything to her ex-husband, Jerome.
00:27:14I'm...
00:27:16I'll get my jacket.
00:27:18I'll get the vino myself.
00:27:21Sorry.
00:27:26So, I want you to be best man.
00:27:28Are you kidding me?
00:27:30Mr. Peace, can we talk? Preferably in private?
00:27:35Well, whatever it is, I want Adelaide to hear.
00:27:37We don't do secrets.
00:27:41Nora changed her will two weeks ago. Everything she owned goes to you.
00:27:45What?
00:27:47I don't understand.
00:27:48Nora didn't tell you?
00:27:50No, absolutely not.
00:27:51I swear.
00:27:53Does...
00:27:53Does this mean we're rich?
00:27:55I think it might.
00:27:58Are you sure you've got this right?
00:28:00Are you sure you didn't know, Mr. Peace?
00:28:05We've had eight cancellations already, Dad.
00:28:07What?
00:28:09I don't get it.
00:28:10Someone's left to review.
00:28:12Tyson Digby calls himself a chef.
00:28:13The soup tasted like puddle water.
00:28:16Bland.
00:28:16Horribly cheap.
00:28:17And the side order of murder didn't help.
00:28:19He's got loads of likes.
00:28:21What kind of sicko would write that?
00:28:23I'll kill them.
00:28:25Well, let's hope you don't find them, Mr. Digby.
00:28:27Well, then hopefully you do.
00:28:29We don't want psychos like that walking around now, do we?
00:28:32Can you give us a moment, please?
00:28:37Thanks.
00:28:38So, what's with all this cloak and dagger, then?
00:28:41Tell me about the new restaurant you and Maxwell have been planning.
00:28:44Is that it?
00:28:46Ah, it's no biggie.
00:28:48We're gonna knock all of this down.
00:28:51And the museum.
00:28:52Nora and Mumma agreed to that, did she?
00:28:54Maxwell was in the process of talking her round, but...
00:28:58Well, that's all moot.
00:28:59Now that he inherits everything from her.
00:29:01Only he doesn't. Nora left everything to Jerome.
00:29:04No.
00:29:06You sure?
00:29:07Mm-hmm.
00:29:09Well, that's brilliant.
00:29:10I can ask Jerome to knock the museum down for me.
00:29:14I'm presuming that he wants to do that.
00:29:16Well, of course he will.
00:29:17He has a new fiancé to provide for.
00:29:19No, this...
00:29:20...really couldn't have worked out...
00:29:23...any better.
00:29:30Make sure Fabian gets this.
00:29:31I can always tell when he's not eating.
00:29:34You never stop looking after people, do you?
00:29:36It's the path I walk in life, Josh.
00:29:42You've taken a photo down.
00:29:45It wasn't my doing.
00:29:48We should lock up in future.
00:29:50Well, this is a house of God.
00:29:51The door's always open.
00:29:56Perhaps I should give the police a call.
00:29:59I'm...
00:30:00...sure it will turn off.
00:30:03Adeline?
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:06Yeah, I'm on my way.
00:30:16You got engaged?
00:30:19Well, congratulations, I guess.
00:30:23Sorry.
00:30:25I'll call him back later.
00:30:26I can't believe you're gonna marry my uncle.
00:30:32Someone might see you.
00:30:49What?
00:30:51Wait until I tell you how much money he's just inherited.
00:30:55Oh, really?
00:31:07Any news on Clyde Seldon?
00:31:09What's Jamie saying about it?
00:31:10I haven't told him.
00:31:11He's got plenty to do, including reading Harmony Hunter's new novel.
00:31:15Oh, she has written one.
00:31:16Any good?
00:31:17Or any of them?
00:31:19Well, if you're a fan of eccentric characters.
00:31:22And, uh, devilishly handsome detectives.
00:31:33What's Harmony's book like?
00:31:36I fell asleep reading it, to be honest, sir.
00:31:38It's quite a long day, I say.
00:31:40Well, if you're not too exhausted, can you bring me up to speed with where we are?
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:46Ahem.
00:31:49Jerome's motive seems almost too blatant to be true.
00:31:52He inherits money, the museum, Nora's house and land.
00:31:56But claims he never knew about it.
00:31:58Hmm.
00:31:59Well, I'm guessing that her husband, Maxwell, didn't either.
00:32:02I mean, you wouldn't murder someone if you knew you'd be written out of their will.
00:32:04Good point, Winter. Next.
00:32:06Then there's Jerome's stepbrother, Tyson.
00:32:09We know that Nora didn't applaud him, so there was definitely something going on between them.
00:32:13And he's delighted that Jerome's inherited the museum, because now he thinks that he can build a new restaurant in
00:32:18its place.
00:32:19That's a pretty big motive, sir.
00:32:22Who's next?
00:32:23We could add Josh into the mix.
00:32:25Did he fall over, or did he drop the tray and use it as a distraction to get to Nora?
00:32:31Hmm.
00:32:31And then there's Harmony.
00:32:33We know that she had a falling out with Nora, and yet, somehow or other, Nora had a draft of
00:32:37her new novel.
00:32:38Which would imply that they were already talking to each other before the lunch.
00:32:41Strange she didn't mention that to us.
00:32:44What about her husband, Ansel?
00:32:46Nothing of note so far.
00:32:48The same goes for Adeline Carey and Verity Proudfoot.
00:32:52Which leaves us with...
00:32:54Fabian McQuaid, who is on the verge of losing what he loves most, the steam trains.
00:32:59Not to mention the entire museum, if Tyson could get Jerome on side.
00:33:03All that passion and effort Fabian put in could be about to go up in smoke.
00:33:09Or steam.
00:33:11Or steam.
00:33:17Fabian.
00:33:19Ah, good.
00:33:20I'm starving, thank you.
00:33:23My uncle just inherited the museum.
00:33:25He did?
00:33:26Well, that is an unexpected ray of sunshine.
00:33:29So, well, I guess then if the museum isn't coming to Maxwell, I can cancel the auction.
00:33:33You don't know what my uncle's plans are yet?
00:33:36Not that I'll be here to see them.
00:33:38I'm thinking of moving on soon.
00:33:39No?
00:33:40I'd rather you didn't do that too imminently, Josh.
00:33:43Well, Verity might be looking for you.
00:33:45One of Nora's photos you've stolen.
00:33:50So, what can I do you for?
00:33:53We've just learnt that plans had been drawn up that would mean demolishing the museum.
00:33:58Tyson and Maxwell want to build a restaurant in its place.
00:34:00So, my question is, when did you first learn about that?
00:34:04Well, I didn't, till now.
00:34:05Nora never mentioned that it might be a possibility.
00:34:07You mean an end to all this?
00:34:10You know, you two must bark up a lot of wrong trees.
00:34:13Only Nora would never have agreed to knocking the museum down.
00:34:17Never.
00:34:17You know, this is part of the village's history and she spent a great deal of time and money
00:34:21preserving that.
00:34:24Here's a...
00:34:25Here's a tree you can bark up.
00:34:28If Maxwell and Tyson did have those plans, then there was only one person standing in their way.
00:34:34Nora.
00:34:42Thank you, Jamie.
00:34:47I was actually just coming to look for you.
00:34:50The, um, photo that was stolen, it was of a fire, correct?
00:34:55Well, that's an impressive memory.
00:34:56Mm-hmm.
00:34:57And this is more of Nora's work?
00:35:00We had a gale force wind whip through the village not too long ago, took off some of the roof
00:35:04tiles.
00:35:05But, blessed be, Nora came to the rescue and paid for the repairs.
00:35:09What's that?
00:35:11Is that steam coming out of it?
00:35:12It's actually a tea room.
00:35:14Charming place it was, just perched on the edge of the village.
00:35:18Sadly burnt down a couple of years ago, it was such a shame.
00:35:21With Anselm's pride and joy.
00:35:24Anselm owned a tea room?
00:35:25And designed it.
00:35:37Tell us about the tea room fire, Mr. Hunter.
00:35:40It was down to a faulty steam pipe.
00:35:43And why would you build a tea room to look like a steam train?
00:35:45Because I love trains.
00:35:47And I thought so do a lot of other people.
00:35:49And I was right.
00:35:49It was a great success.
00:35:51It was immersive with the sounds and smells you associate with steam trains.
00:35:56You said it was a great success.
00:36:01Tyson stole my idea and got Maxwell to design tracks for him.
00:36:06They're nothing but a pair of crooks.
00:36:08Everything they say and do is always something self-serving behind it.
00:36:13Do you know, I even saw Tyson making a donation to the church yesterday
00:36:16and ordinarily you'd think, oh, that's a nice thing to do.
00:36:20Not with Tyson though.
00:36:21There'll be something going on there, trust me.
00:36:24It's true.
00:36:25They destroyed my business without a second thought.
00:36:29I was so hungry.
00:36:31There's no need to volunteer information.
00:36:34Because you're not under caution.
00:36:36What does it matter what I say?
00:36:38I haven't done anything wrong.
00:36:39They're detectives.
00:36:40They take little snippets from everything and everyone
00:36:44and very often, very often come to the wrong conclusion.
00:36:47With all due respect.
00:36:51Why did you dine with Maxwell if he was partly responsible for putting you out of business?
00:36:56Because I knew Harmony really missed Nora.
00:36:59And I felt I should try and help.
00:37:01Even though they were already talking.
00:37:03Nora had a copy of Murder Is My Middle Name in her handbag.
00:37:06She brought it to the lunch.
00:37:07You gave us the impression that you hadn't been talking to each other, Mrs. Hunter.
00:37:12Well, obviously we were, because I had to talk to her to arrange the lunch.
00:37:17Besides, I always used to get Nora to read my novels, so I saw it as a peace offering.
00:37:22What did she think of your novel?
00:37:24Well, sadly, I never got to hear.
00:37:28I don't suppose she made any notes.
00:37:30Like, maybe in the margins or...
00:37:33By the need.
00:37:34Looks like you're working on a new novel anyway.
00:37:37Of course I am.
00:37:38Always working on new ideas.
00:37:40You can tell your wife the wait for the new one will be over very soon.
00:37:45Assuming she didn't kill Nora.
00:37:48Of course.
00:37:52Here's what's going to happen.
00:37:54I just learned from the solicitor that Nora has done me out of my inheritance.
00:37:58So in return for her horrendous treachery, I want the museum flattened.
00:38:05Are you blackmailing us?
00:38:07Of course I am.
00:38:09You don't look a gift horse in the mouth, Josh.
00:38:11You jump on it and ride her to the winning line.
00:38:13But we don't own the museum.
00:38:15But you own Jerome.
00:38:16He'll do anything you tell him.
00:38:18Frankly, it's pathetic to watch.
00:38:21So all you need to do is tell him what an eyesore that museum is.
00:38:25And he'll do the rest.
00:38:30Sorry, I'll come back another time.
00:38:32They're just leaving.
00:38:34Aren't you?
00:38:47What do you want?
00:38:50I've been thinking about getting back into design.
00:38:53And I was hoping we could have a chat.
00:38:56I thought it's time to let bygones be bygones.
00:39:00You are so, so...
00:39:05Sad.
00:39:09Now get out.
00:39:45What are you doing here?
00:39:47You know what I'm seeing, Fabian?
00:39:48I'm seeing people pouring in from miles away to dine in the sky.
00:39:52Jerome would never let that happen, Bob.
00:39:54He's got no choice.
00:39:56There's a brand new restaurant coming, Fabian.
00:39:58And not you or anyone else can stop it.
00:40:02Will all Air Maxwell passengers please make their way to the check-in?
00:40:28If the police find out you took that...
00:40:31Yeah, well, Nora was clearly sending you a message.
00:40:37Harmony...
00:40:38Don't be upset with me.
00:40:40But I went to see Maxwell.
00:40:42I asked him if I could come and work with him as a designer.
00:40:47Anselm.
00:40:48That man he ruined.
00:40:49Your life, he stole everything from you.
00:40:53Not everything.
00:40:55There was one thing he missed.
00:40:58My self-worth.
00:41:00And I won't let him take that.
00:41:13Look at all the vultures.
00:41:18It's...
00:41:19It's 12 o'clock, so rather sadly the auction is now officially open.
00:41:26Morning.
00:41:28Hello.
00:41:31Hello.
00:41:32Morning.
00:41:38Excuse me.
00:41:39Excuse me.
00:41:41Excuse me.
00:41:41Excuse me.
00:41:44Oh, poor man.
00:41:47Looks like the auction's off then.
00:42:04that's fabian's whistle how did that get there i'd say someone forced it down his throat
00:42:08while he was choking on it took the opportunist to just shove him off the gantry landing on a
00:42:15model steam train inside of maxwell's phone not yet about a key to the museum no
00:42:24so if the door was unlocked at 12 on the dot how did maxwell go in here prior to that
00:42:34right well bless verity i'd be starving without her she gives you food from the church donations
00:42:40clearly i am a worthy cause chin chin
00:42:52call that tomato soup tastes like the puddle water tyson served up no
00:42:58when was the last time you saw maxwell monroe i don't know he popped in about three hours ago
00:43:05yeah when i say popped in he strode in like a puffed up pigeon crowing about how he was going
00:43:11to bulldoze the museum and then before you start with your accusations i already knew jerome had
00:43:16inherited it so maxwell was wasting his time anyway i escorted him out locked up and went to see verity
00:43:23any idea how your train whistle became a possible murder weapon wouldn't have the foggiest maxwell
00:43:28snatched it from me and walked off with it maxwell clearly returned to the museum then someone let him
00:43:34in not necessarily norah had a key it's her museum after all so i imagine he used that
00:43:39we didn't find one on him yeah um who else has one that'd be anselman josh
00:43:48um earlier you said that the tomato soup tasted like puddle water i read a review of tracks that said
00:43:56the um exact same thing mr mcquade mr mcquade i couldn't resist posting it straight after norah's
00:44:06murder i gave it a good hour out of respect but um it's too good a chance to get my
00:44:10own back on tyson
00:44:12you hate him that much him and his soup watery soup winter sir
00:44:27you were right
00:44:38what is this according to the set menu we should find ingredients for a revisionist tomato soup
00:44:45the tomatoes are marinated for two days in a sauce of molasses ginger and paprika
00:44:52they're then warmed peeled and squeezed until every drop of juice and flavor has oozed from them
00:45:02it's nothing but these empty packets they're for the staff harmony hunter told us that she saw you
00:45:09giving money to verity yes well i'm a generous man well not that generous you've been helping yourself
00:45:15to the donated food and then passing it off as nouveau cuisine helping myself now verity's been helping
00:45:19herself she charged me for that stuff she sells it to you well i'm not the only charlatan in this
00:45:26town
00:45:26at first yes she caught me nicking some but then we came to some arrangement all the same if this
00:45:32got
00:45:32out you'd be you'd be ruined my wife noticed that norah didn't applaud you like the rest of us did
00:45:37mr digby was that because she knew what you've been doing no she she didn't applaud me she didn't
00:45:43applaud me because i reckon she wasn't as keen on the airplane restaurant as maxwell first made out
00:45:48we assume he hadn't managed to persuade her she wanted to divorce him and she cut him out of her
00:45:53will i'd say there's no way she wanted either of you getting your hands on the museum so what was
00:45:57it
00:45:58that maxwell did to upset you mr digby did you find out that he wasn't being honest with you and
00:46:03that
00:46:03your plans were about to go up in smoke so you think i killed him i needed him i needed
00:46:09his design so
00:46:10why would i sabotage myself like that look i'm on the verge of losing one restaurant i'm not going to
00:46:16lose another
00:46:17sir
00:46:26sir jerome sent through norah's bank statements
00:46:28turns out she was broke he thinks it'll exonerate him not if he's only just learned that
00:46:37harmony hunter was right sir maxwell was bleeding norah dry that definitely explains the need for
00:46:42the auction so look at this one fifteen thousand pounds and to st mali's church that's a lot of
00:46:47money for a roof repair indeed it is winter
00:46:54it appears that despite norah's donation the roof was never repaired
00:47:03you can say that again
00:47:10there is he's not here sir
00:47:13look at this picture of the roof tiles what do you think it's about a wild guess roof tiles
00:47:22i think it's a reminder to verity about the money she didn't spend on the church roof
00:47:29do you know where vera prophet is
00:47:32out tending to a flock i'd imagine do you have a key to her office
00:47:36well verity never locks doors it should just be open
00:47:47i don't get it sir verity helps people the lost the needy ex-prisoners
00:47:53i think she may have also helped herself and took the roof money
00:47:59and norah must have challenged verity on it
00:48:01oh norah wasn't like that she was shy non-confrontational
00:48:07i don't know the roof tiles photos seem pretty confrontational
00:48:10good point winter which means something must have changed in norah
00:48:16something that gave her the strength to start making her point
00:48:20well if the roof tiles were a message then maybe the fire was as well
00:48:23oh i think that was about anselm's tea room going up in flames
00:48:28but everyone knows about that it's not a secret
00:48:34and then there must be more to it something else has gone on between anselm and norah
00:48:41find reverend proudfoot i'm going to talk to anselm
00:48:50can you tell me about your tea room mr hunter did norah munro see you setting fire to it
00:48:56how on earth do you know about that anselm haven't you learned anything from my novels
00:49:01you say no comment over and over it's up to them to prove these accusations
00:49:07and you stole the fire photograph because of what it represented
00:49:10well actually i took it i i saw it yesterday and and realized what it meant
00:49:16but that was after norah died i hadn't seen it before then before you start casting aspersions
00:49:21why though without norah it's just a photograph
00:49:25i did it for anselm i didn't i didn't want him being reminded
00:49:34that tea room was my dream and i ansel
00:49:40they'll find out soon enough
00:49:45i was left with no choice
00:49:48i had to burn my pride and joy to the crown
00:49:51but the insurance people refused to pay out
00:49:54they couldn't prove anything
00:49:57but decided that there was something off
00:50:00about my claim
00:50:02did norah contact them tell them that she'd seen you perhaps
00:50:05i'm just going to stop you there
00:50:06number one no she didn't
00:50:08and two you're way off the mark
00:50:11anselm did not want revenge on norah
00:50:14anyway why would he wait this long
00:50:17one last question anselm
00:50:19oh for goodness sake
00:50:20when was the last time you saw maxwell monroe
00:50:23i saw him earlier today
00:50:26and i lowered myself to a new depth
00:50:29by asking him for a job
00:50:33i thought i could get back into design
00:50:35what did he say to that
00:50:37that's enough anselm that you don't
00:50:39he laughed in my face
00:50:45sorry man i can't hold up
00:50:46it's all right
00:50:48let me introduce you
00:50:50to our new restaurant
00:50:53the museum
00:50:54the ex-museum
00:50:55we're going to knock it down
00:50:56the museum tracks everything
00:50:59and anything
00:51:00but wait this is the best part
00:51:01we are going to put a big
00:51:03beautiful plane
00:51:04right there instead
00:51:09well i wasn't expecting a round of applause
00:51:11but look a bit excited
00:51:13geron
00:51:15i don't think i can let you do that
00:51:18that's the last thing norah would have wanted
00:51:19but she's dead
00:51:21so what does it matter
00:51:22come on this is what stepbrothers do
00:51:24they create the uncreatable
00:51:27they turn aeroplanes into restaurants geron
00:51:32i'm sorry ty
00:51:34norah entrusted that museum to me
00:51:37i'm going to uphold that trust
00:51:39get off me
00:51:40the things that i've done
00:51:42just to get to this point
00:51:43what's that supposed to mean
00:51:45it means
00:51:46i want that museum gone
00:51:48and i'm going to make it happen
00:51:49one way
00:51:50or another
00:52:05reverend proudfoot
00:52:06here for prayer
00:52:07only i'm very good with lost souls
00:52:09this is work i'm afraid
00:52:12can you tell me when
00:52:13fabian came to see you earlier
00:52:15oh uh roughly around
00:52:1710 30
00:52:18why
00:52:19and when did he leave
00:52:21around quarter to twelve
00:52:23just before the auction started
00:52:24is that why your sergeant dragged me away
00:52:27some of my parishioners can't go a day without me
00:52:30let's talk about the church finances
00:52:32particularly concerning
00:52:35the church roof
00:52:36that is what norah's photograph of the roof tiles is about
00:52:40well i i thought it was about the storm
00:53:01i'll tell you everything
00:53:03i promise
00:53:11it was my favorite bracelet
00:53:14a spectacularly expensive one
00:53:16that was left
00:53:18to me by my late sister
00:53:21i mislaid it and i was i was devastated
00:53:25all i could think to do was replace it
00:53:28so i i took out a loan
00:53:30and i bought a new one
00:53:32but oh gosh
00:53:34the the the interest was extortionate
00:53:36i couldn't keep up the payment
00:53:39so off i went back to the jewelers
00:53:42but they um
00:53:42well if you if you'll excuse the expression
00:53:46it comes from spending too much time
00:53:49visiting prisons
00:53:51they they stiffed me on the price
00:53:54so there i was
00:53:55trinketless
00:53:57and in debt
00:54:00which left you with no option
00:54:02but to use
00:54:03norah's donation to pay off the rest of the loan
00:54:06exactly
00:54:08i see that you feel my pain
00:54:10i thought given time
00:54:11i could save the money
00:54:12i could get the roof done myself
00:54:13you know i'm a very determined person
00:54:15when i put my mind to something
00:54:17is that when you started selling the donated food to tyson
00:54:23well rest assured that money is for the homeless
00:54:26and shame on you for thinking otherwise
00:54:30and presumably norah threatened to tell the diocese
00:54:33about what you did with the money she donated
00:54:36oh well she'd learned that maxwell had spent her last penny
00:54:40she needed money to pay for an expensive divorce solicitor
00:54:45so she saw the roof hadn't been repaired yet
00:54:47so naturally she she asked for the money back
00:54:49and i wanted to help her
00:54:50i just needed more time
00:54:52and how did that conversation go
00:54:54well once i explained everything
00:54:56norah was extremely understanding
00:54:58she said that she would find another way to fund her divorce
00:55:04is that true reverend
00:55:06because um that photograph of the roof tiles
00:55:12is a sure sign
00:55:13that norah was running out of patience with you
00:55:17and you may have realized that
00:55:29is harmony's book any good
00:55:31it's all right
00:55:32if you're happy wading through tons of adjectives
00:55:36but what is interesting though is there's a character called flora
00:55:41and she inherits money from an aunt
00:55:43it's a bit of a coincidence don't you think
00:55:46which is also trodden on by everyone
00:55:47no one respects her no one listens to her
00:55:50well that could be what she and harmony hunter really fell out over
00:55:53the way she was represented in the novel
00:55:55and probably set her on a path to settle scores
00:55:58oh i called the insurance company that were investigating
00:56:02the tea room fire and everything that anselm admitted to
00:56:06was bang on unfortunately harmony makes a very valid point
00:56:11why take revenge now
00:56:13okay so this is where we are at now
00:56:18it looks like harmony hunter wrote a novel
00:56:20that norah wasn't happy with
00:56:23and she can't have been happy with anselm either
00:56:25considering the photograph of the fire
00:56:27so anselm kills norah for bringing up the tea room fire
00:56:31and then kills maxwell for laughing at his desperate need for a job
00:56:35not exactly compelling motives
00:56:38unlike fabian
00:56:40whose lifelong passion was about to be sold off
00:56:43so fabian kills norah for selling off the steam engines
00:56:47and then kills maxwell thinking he'll inherit the museum
00:56:50the only trouble being he didn't need to kill maxwell
00:56:54because he already knew that jerome had inherited the museum
00:56:57okay so what about jerome then i mean he inherited property and land
00:57:01but why kill maxwell jerome had everything
00:57:04let's move on to tyson
00:57:06yeah he's still high on my list
00:57:08or maybe he suspected that norah would never sell the museum
00:57:11so tyson kills norah not knowing at the time that maxwell wouldn't inherit
00:57:16yeah but again why kill maxwell
00:57:19tyson needed him for the designs
00:57:23what about verity can we tie her to both murders
00:57:26well knowing what we know so far
00:57:28only norah's
00:57:31josh
00:57:32adeline
00:57:33i mean somehow it seems that no matter who we look at
00:57:35we can't find a clear motive for both murders
00:57:39what are we missing sir
00:57:53dinner
00:57:54dinner
00:57:54is served
00:57:58we usually have shepherd's pie on a wednesday
00:58:00well not today my friend
00:58:03not today
00:58:05what do you want tyson
00:58:07i'm here to offer anselm a job
00:58:09i want you to finish maxwell's design for my new restaurant
00:58:13please take a look
00:58:22that looks incredible
00:58:23but where are you going to put an airplane
00:58:25um where the museum is when it's been knocked down
00:58:31oh
00:58:33i think that's a no
00:58:35i couldn't do that to fabian
00:58:38he's my best friend
00:58:39i'm your best friend now ansel
00:58:42and if you finish maxwell's design then you are back in business
00:58:48i think we both need this to happen
00:58:52don't you
00:58:59winter
00:59:00sir
00:59:00i'm sorry to interrupt your evening
00:59:04but there's a bit of gossip going around the station and it's about you
00:59:07ignore it winter it's all in hand
00:59:09yeah well word is that a prisoner is appealing his conviction on the grounds that you made a mistake in
00:59:15an old case
00:59:15jamie
00:59:16i'm still waiting for that brandy
00:59:18we might need it now that john's cooking tonight
00:59:21winter appears to be worried about me
00:59:23oh has he finally told you about clyde south and good
00:59:26kept telling him to
00:59:28well at least you seem worried about it mrs b
00:59:29uh take a seat winter this is just about ready
00:59:32i can't say i'm happy about it but
00:59:35you and i both know that dcr john barnaby does not make mistakes at work
00:59:40elsewhere yes
00:59:41constantly in fact but
00:59:42not when it comes to murder
00:59:44well apparently soudan's already splashed out on a top lawyer
00:59:47well it smells good if i do say so myself
00:59:50they're disputing witnesses statements that they couldn't actually identify soudan at the scene
01:00:01it does make you wonder where a prisoner would get that kind of money from
01:00:04it's not from say mail bags is it that's for sure
01:00:10bon appetit
01:00:12we seem very confident sir
01:00:15not as much as much as you might think
01:00:17i knew it
01:00:20i'm worried i've used too much tarragon
01:00:32madeline
01:00:34you said you always take the bookings well i need to know who had eaten at tracks before nora was
01:00:41killed
01:00:41particularly during the switzerland experience
01:00:46give me a sec
01:00:52here we go
01:00:53here we go looks like that vicar was in here a few times was she ever with fabian mcquade
01:00:58keep up i told you he'd never been on board before
01:01:02and then there's nora
01:01:03and maxwell presumably
01:01:06sometimes
01:01:06but not recently
01:01:08lately nora'd been sitting on her own looking like a
01:01:10what does it they say
01:01:12like a bulldog
01:01:12licking a nettle
01:01:14she always timed it when jerome came in to eat his lunch
01:01:17they dined together
01:01:19not after ike what was i
01:01:21is that all
01:01:23that sad bloke
01:01:24anselm
01:01:27he came in with his wife
01:01:28she was nattering on and on to this woman
01:01:30her publisher
01:01:31i think it was
01:01:33well thank you adeline
01:01:35that's very helpful
01:01:36nag on
01:01:36ain't done
01:01:38bit rude
01:01:40only
01:01:40i've got to tell you about this one time
01:01:42i had to tell harmonies to sling her up
01:01:44yeah she and her publisher were
01:01:46having a big old bust up
01:01:47and then suddenly harmonies and tears
01:01:49i'm laughing like
01:01:51ever a book
01:01:53basically
01:01:55anyways
01:01:55i had to tell them to leave
01:01:56because they were putting the diners off their ribs
01:01:58i remember it
01:01:59because it was the same day you called and booked
01:02:02i thought you were johnny barney
01:02:04got all excited
01:02:06johnny barney
01:02:07he's an influencer
01:02:09he's well famous
01:02:11anyways
01:02:12such a letdown when you turned out to be a boring old cop
01:02:15sorry to disappoint
01:02:18that's a nice bracelet
01:02:20yeah jerome got it for me
01:02:21i thought i'd just try it on today
01:02:23it's nice of you to notice
01:02:32so you've heard the rumors
01:02:35well what do you think then
01:02:36did the boss slip up
01:02:38never in a million years
01:02:39that's what i keep telling myself
01:02:41so why are you reading
01:02:42soudan's case fire
01:02:44because there's just
01:02:45there's something about this
01:02:47what is it winter
01:02:49you can tell your auntie flow
01:02:50she's very discreet
01:02:52right
01:02:53well
01:02:54it's more that this appeal is happening now
01:02:56the boss is always banging on about why now
01:02:58and yet this time he isn't
01:03:00it doesn't sound like it
01:03:01yeah so i thought i'd ask the question instead
01:03:03and it turns out that the vicar
01:03:04in black mallet
01:03:06helps rehabilitate prisoners
01:03:07and she's also claiming that she used a hefty donation from nora
01:03:10to pay off a loan
01:03:11money that incidentally would be enough to pay
01:03:14for a top lawyer
01:03:15for clyde soudan
01:03:17the boss hasn't mentioned this coincidence once
01:03:20that's very good winter
01:03:25very good indeed
01:03:27thank you
01:03:30but what do i do with this
01:03:31that's easy
01:03:32you run with it
01:03:33and if needed i'll be right behind you
01:03:39sir
01:03:44you uh
01:03:45you're filming the museum
01:03:47i wanted a historical record
01:03:50it'll be sad
01:03:51to see it go
01:03:52but i guess we have to move with the times
01:03:54chase our dreams and all that
01:03:57i'm not sure what you're driving at ansel
01:04:01it's all right
01:04:01tyson told me you're knocking it down
01:04:05well
01:04:06it's wrong
01:04:07and
01:04:08trust me
01:04:10nobody's touching it
01:04:11he don't understand
01:04:12you have to knock it down
01:04:15i thought you loved all that stuff fabian had in there
01:04:19i want my life back to you ralph
01:04:20well that's not on me that's your problem
01:04:23it seems staying
01:04:32josh
01:04:34you'd like a word
01:04:36about adeline
01:04:38what's to say she's my friend
01:04:39do you always give expensive bracelets to your friends
01:04:42bracelets that don't actually belong to you
01:04:44only adeline is wearing the exact same one that verity wore in one of her office photographs
01:04:48that's not the nicest thing to do after someone takes you in and puts a roof over your head
01:04:52is that why your mother kicked you out you stole from her as well
01:04:55i just want to get adeline something nice
01:04:58to show how much i love her
01:04:59which begs another question
01:05:02nora was sending threatening letters to adeline
01:05:04did she know that you and adeline were more than friends
01:05:08oh she did she never said anything to me
01:05:11look you can't tell my uncle about this
01:05:13who else knew
01:05:15maxwell monroe for instance
01:05:18you saw him and adeline together yeah
01:05:21and
01:05:24he called us to meet him
01:05:26and he said she had to persuade jerome to bulldoze the museum
01:05:29only he was murdered before any of that could happen
01:05:33look i know it's wrong what me and adeline have been doing
01:05:36but we just want to be together that's not a crime
01:05:39but what it leads to can be
01:06:08help
01:06:33the one day you don't want the trains to run on time
01:06:37anyway
01:06:38on the first inspection
01:06:39the victim got his hand trapped between the lines
01:06:42how does something like that happen
01:06:46mind your tootsies
01:06:49his killer then boarded one of the steam engines
01:06:51and ran him over
01:06:53he was clutching this
01:06:54when we found him
01:06:55i'd say it was left on purpose
01:06:59why would adeline do that
01:07:00it's way too obvious
01:07:02which neatly brings me to a theory
01:07:04i've been working on set
01:07:06what about thought winter
01:07:11hang in there
01:07:12can you get your moment
01:07:22i'm very sorry about your stepbrother
01:07:26well
01:07:28at least he's going to get a new restaurant
01:07:31in his memory
01:07:32that's still going ahead
01:07:34i'm jerome's next of kin
01:07:37i get everything
01:07:38and that includes the museum
01:07:40you do know how that sounds mr digby
01:07:46every fire
01:07:47has its phoenix
01:07:50oh and by the way
01:07:51i wouldn't have the first clue
01:07:54as to how to drive a train
01:07:57fabian mcquade
01:08:13mr mcquade
01:08:16kel surprise
01:08:17thought you'd come a knocking
01:08:18when was the last time you saw or spoke to jerome
01:08:21don't actually recall why
01:08:23i'm sure you know why
01:08:24where were you an hour ago
01:08:26where i always am here
01:08:27and you didn't hear anything
01:08:28someone screaming for help maybe
01:08:30i heard a train tooting over and over again
01:08:32if that's any help
01:08:33you didn't think to go and have a look
01:08:34well i was busy here
01:08:35can anyone back that up
01:08:37not unless these model figures can talk
01:08:45last question
01:08:46who else would know how to switch the lines on the railway track
01:08:49and drive a steam train along it
01:08:51that'd be the three amigos
01:08:52me
01:08:53anselm
01:08:54josh
01:08:54though to be honest it's not that difficult
01:08:56in fact i'm pretty sure i saw josh showing adeline once
01:08:59what about reverend proudfoot
01:09:01did you ever show her
01:09:02well now you mention it i did actually
01:09:05yes
01:09:08presumably you know how to drive the train
01:09:11and switch the tracks mr hunter
01:09:14hear that harmony
01:09:16they're gunning for me
01:09:18when did you last see jerome
01:09:21we chatted earlier
01:09:22about
01:09:23nothing much just stuff
01:09:25i need more than that mr hunter
01:09:30he said he was going to preserve the museum
01:09:33you make it sound like that was a problem
01:09:36you make it sound like that was a problem
01:09:37tyson has just promised me a job finishing maxwell's designs
01:09:42anselm will you please stop incriminating yourself
01:09:46the way my looks going they're going to find some way of pinning this on me regardless
01:09:49well now that jerome is dead his stepbrother tyson inherits everything so i'd say that your luck's back in mr
01:09:56hunter
01:09:56wouldn't you
01:10:01uh... has your sergeant finished reading my novel yet only i'd love to know what he thought
01:10:06he didn't say
01:10:07though he did tell me that the character of flora is based on nora
01:10:12really? that's a bit of a leap
01:10:14is it?
01:10:16i think what you wrote upset her hugely
01:10:18but what i don't understand is
01:10:20why you gave it to her to read
01:10:22surely you knew she would recognise herself
01:10:25when if flora is not based on nora
01:10:28is that what you were arguing with your publisher about during lunch at tracks?
01:10:33this is my fault not harmony's
01:10:35nora came round about a month ago
01:10:37i made a cup of tea not realising that
01:10:40harmony had left her novel hang around
01:10:43nora read some of it
01:10:45it's the first time i've ever seen her angry
01:10:48said she'd been so good to me for not telling anyone about the tea room fire
01:10:52and this is how harmony repaid her
01:10:54she snatched the novel before i had a chance to stop her
01:10:57that didn't mean any harm
01:10:59i take inspiration from the people around me
01:11:01any writer worthy of the name would do the same
01:11:04it's fair to say nora changed considerably after reading how the village really saw her
01:11:10she saw how overlooked she was
01:11:12taken advantage of
01:11:13but in trying to step up
01:11:16she managed to upset the wrong person
01:11:19oh
01:11:20and listen while you're here
01:11:22why don't we go through my list of suspects
01:11:26mrs hunter
01:11:27we are not in the pages of a novel
01:11:32apologies
01:11:32i just uh
01:11:34can't help myself
01:11:36here
01:11:42where were you when your uncle was killed
01:11:45in here
01:11:46alone
01:11:49adeline
01:11:51i'm so sorry about your own
01:11:55i
01:11:56i couldn't believe it
01:11:56we were gonna go abroad together
01:11:58start a new life
01:11:59police know about us
01:12:04okay well
01:12:05that doesn't make us murderers
01:12:06no but it puts you quite high on the list though
01:12:09did um
01:12:10did verity ever mention
01:12:12any of the prisoners she was helping
01:12:14no
01:12:15why
01:12:16presumably she visited the prisons
01:12:18yeah she does that quite a lot
01:12:20would there be any record of that anywhere
01:12:23you could try a diary
01:12:42can i get a visitor list for a prisoner by the name of clive zowden
01:12:46i'm specifically looking for a reverend verity proudfoot
01:12:49she visited last wednesday
01:12:51i'm pretty sure that it ties into a case that i'm working on
01:12:57this started ringing
01:12:58it was jerome's bank
01:13:01flagging an account he's added adeline to
01:13:03breaking news
01:13:05adeline had recently transferred the funds from that account
01:13:09to her own
01:13:10before jerome was killed
01:13:13how's that for timing
01:13:15and
01:13:15and
01:13:16we've earned these
01:13:17their noors
01:13:18and someone
01:13:19has been putting out specific phrases
01:13:22and
01:13:23turning them into poison pen letters
01:13:25and then sending them to herself
01:13:29have you spoken to him clear
01:13:31i speak to him all day long
01:13:33fleur
01:13:33he's got a few ideas about this case
01:13:36might be worth hearing him out
01:13:43you'll need to start saying your goodbyes
01:13:46tyson will inherit this place and
01:13:49you know what that means
01:13:51you sound rather more upbeat than i would have imagined anselm what's going on
01:13:56tyson has asked me to finish maxwell's designs
01:14:02has he now
01:14:03i thought i should tell you in person
01:14:05out of common courtesy
01:14:09look at that little graveyard
01:14:11there anselm
01:14:12do you see it
01:14:14only i reckon it could do with a few more headstones
01:14:19is that some sort of threat
01:14:22i'm not saying goodbye anytime soon do you understand
01:14:26this is my palace
01:14:27this is my palace
01:14:28my kingdom
01:14:29and i can't let it go
01:14:31i refuse
01:14:32to let it go
01:14:35and i will stop you and tyson
01:14:38in any way i can
01:14:43and she visited several times
01:14:46okay
01:14:46okay
01:14:47thank you
01:14:48apparently fleur thinks i should talk to you winter
01:14:52does she now
01:14:53well good because that call was from the prison where clyde soudan's being held
01:14:56you're looking into soudan
01:14:57it all adds up sir
01:14:58just not exactly as i thought it would
01:15:00go on
01:15:01well i always thought there was more to this case than we realized
01:15:04another hand at work as it were
01:15:05another hand as in
01:15:07well initially i thought that verity had been visiting clyde soudan in prison
01:15:11but it turns out she was seeing other prisoners
01:15:13the person visiting soudan was
01:15:16Adeline
01:15:17soudan is her stepfather
01:15:20and this connects to our current case
01:15:22i'm a little bit surprised you didn't spot it sir
01:15:26with all due respect of course
01:15:29well let's start with the letters that nora was supposedly sending you
01:15:33only we've recently learnt that
01:15:35that wasn't really her style
01:15:37she was more subtle
01:15:38she took photos to imply or suggest a wrongdoing
01:15:41says you
01:15:42only i've got a stack of threats from her
01:15:44yes which you created from cut out passages in this diary
01:15:50i'd like to see you prove it
01:15:52okay
01:15:56when you met jerome
01:15:57you saw him as a meal ticket
01:16:00plain and simple
01:16:01but something happened when you started working alongside josh
01:16:05you
01:16:06you fell in love
01:16:07get real
01:16:08together you and josh decided to rip off jerome and then run away together
01:16:11and
01:16:12well it was all going to plan until
01:16:17you can answer that if you like
01:16:18i know who it is
01:16:19it's
01:16:19clyde soudan your stepfather
01:16:22are you ignoring his call because you know if you answer it'll incriminate you
01:16:25because that's where this plan changes
01:16:27only now you're trying to milk jerome for your stepfather's appeal
01:16:30instead of running away with josh
01:16:32i try
01:16:34he's talking out
01:16:35when chief inspector barnaby called up to book the restaurant you couldn't believe the coincidence
01:16:41so you and soudan you got together and you hatched a plan that no one would ever suspect
01:16:45like what
01:16:46to discredit chief inspector barnaby
01:16:49that's why these murders always been so baffling
01:16:52usually there's something that connects them something that ties them together
01:16:55but in black mallet we've never really been able to pin it down
01:16:59i'm lost
01:17:00me and you both
01:17:02adeline this was all designed to end with chief inspector barnaby's inability to solve this case
01:17:07and and here's the kicker
01:17:08his inept failure would coincide perfectly with soudan's appeal
01:17:13so your stepfather's expensive lawyer would be able to point to a clueless detective
01:17:17bumbling blindly around in the knowledge that it would sway the tribunal and reverse your stepfather's conviction
01:17:23together you and soudan you created a story of an unsolvable murder
01:17:29and more importantly an incompetent oblivious idiot of a detective
01:17:36tell me tell me how did it feel when you heard the chief inspector give his name when he was
01:17:40booking the restaurant
01:17:40well i thought what are the chances and i called clyde immediately but i promise you there was no madcap
01:17:48plan
01:17:48well i may beg to differ adeline i may beg to differ
01:17:59so how was that sir
01:18:01very good weren't you
01:18:02very good indeed
01:18:12you don't seem too shocked by any of this
01:18:15i was there when you called the restaurant
01:18:18i saw adeline go outside and phone a stepdad
01:18:22and then what did you do
01:18:23i covered for her at work
01:18:26only i wasn't myself i spilt some wine on a diner
01:18:30they asked if i was okay and i sort of
01:18:34let a few things slip
01:18:36you did indeed josh
01:18:38you told the one person in the world you shouldn't have
01:18:44sir
01:18:47are you saying that um
01:18:48that i'm wrong
01:18:53i hate to rain on what was a very impressive parade
01:18:56but yes winter
01:18:59and the line isn't our killer
01:19:14it was anselm
01:19:17of course
01:19:20where is harmony in
01:19:47what's going on
01:19:49do you want to tell them only i'm not sure i have the heart to tell them only i'm not
01:19:52sure i have the heart to tell them
01:19:53i know it starts with the novel that norah didn't like
01:19:56and that you realized how serious that could be for your career
01:20:02i admit i um i did get a little upset yeah
01:20:07what are you saying exactly
01:20:09it seems like your wife killed three people to keep her career alive
01:20:14i'd written a novel
01:20:16it was a work of art
01:20:17my best yet
01:20:18i couldn't just toss it aside
01:20:21i've got fans
01:20:22to delight
01:20:24awards to win
01:20:26is this really true
01:20:28darling
01:20:30darling you know
01:20:31how hard i worked on that book
01:20:36when did you first think to frame adeline
01:20:38was it when she laughed at you and then told you to leave the restaurant
01:20:43i mean what kind of dreadful person would do a thing like that
01:20:46it made me
01:20:48yeah made me quite angry
01:20:49which is when things started to um
01:20:52manifest
01:20:53yeah
01:20:54i mean you've got to take inspiration from wherever you can get it
01:20:57and then presumably build on it
01:20:59exactly
01:21:00i mean you may have the eureka moment but you need to add the bones
01:21:03the same bones that josh provided you with
01:21:06he's a sweet boy
01:21:08he spilt wine
01:21:10all over me and he was so apologetic
01:21:12and then he told me all about clyde and how upset adeline was
01:21:16so when i went home and dug into clyde's history
01:21:19lo and behold
01:21:20you saw my name
01:21:21i mean i'd heard adeline take your booking earlier
01:21:24and saw her get stupidly excited
01:21:26until she realized you weren't
01:21:28a famous influencer
01:21:30it was pure kismet
01:21:32it was almost as if the world wanted this to happen
01:21:35because after i researched you
01:21:37who you were
01:21:38suddenly there it was
01:21:40my next novel just staring me in the face
01:21:43and not one i'd only write
01:21:45but one i could be a physical part of
01:21:47and you
01:21:48you've no idea how that felt
01:21:50walking around in a world of my own making
01:21:52while meticulously framing adeline
01:21:55oh she deserved it
01:21:56it's an ignorant lowbrow
01:21:58she thinks someone who posts ten second snippets online
01:22:01has more about them than an author
01:22:03who spends the best part of a year pulling
01:22:05literary magic out of thin air
01:22:07and this novel meant that
01:22:10maxwell had to die next
01:22:14why the museum
01:22:15i'll never go there
01:22:16i didn't think it would connect back to me
01:22:18so i borrowed
01:22:19anselm's key
01:22:21and told maxwell
01:22:22i needed his permission
01:22:24to publish my next novel
01:22:26i said i'd pay him handsomely
01:22:27let's get to the chase
01:22:29how much
01:22:29i was thinking
01:22:30ten percent of my advance
01:22:33make it fifty
01:22:36all right
01:22:37all right
01:22:42oh
01:22:42oh
01:23:00that one
01:23:01that was for you
01:23:03ansel
01:23:04just think of all the misery he wrought upon you
01:23:08i'd have lived with it
01:23:10i'd have lived with it
01:23:10but you have been living with it my darling
01:23:12and look what it's done to you
01:23:14but that wasn't the only motive for killing maxwell was it
01:23:18well us authors we love a bit of subtext
01:23:21i mean obviously i needed a second murder
01:23:23in order to point you in a different direction
01:23:26which had to be done because
01:23:28we see all along this was aimed at adeline
01:23:30it's just a horrid
01:23:31little soul
01:23:32who you
01:23:33would soon realize was the only person with a motive to discredit
01:23:37a clueless detective
01:23:38at least i was right about the stupid detective sir
01:23:44oh my goodness
01:23:46it was so dizzying and daring
01:23:49i mean i could barely sleep
01:23:50at night
01:23:51you know thinking of all the connotations and outcomes
01:23:53while all the time knowing that the murder of jerome would absolutely point straight to adeline
01:23:58and the plan that she had supposedly cooked up with clyde south
01:24:02poor jerome
01:24:03he was always after a better life but just could never quite find it
01:24:08i told them i'd seen adeline down by the tracks
01:24:11said she seemed upset
01:24:13i mean i knew he'd come running
01:24:37who'd have thought being married to a train enthusiast would come in so handy
01:24:45a train enthusiast that i love with all my heart by the way
01:24:52and i you
01:24:56even know
01:25:01what tipped you off
01:25:02i swear i'd covered
01:25:05all my bases
01:25:06i mean that's the thing about writing a novel
01:25:12i think you slipped up because you were still on the first draft
01:25:15oh i like that
01:25:16you even know the terminology
01:25:20adeline's name tag was too obvious
01:25:23too
01:25:23shall we say
01:25:25cliched
01:25:26ouch
01:25:27the coincidence of everyone being on board tracks at the right time
01:25:31but also with the right motives
01:25:34then the lights go out
01:25:35the murder happens in the dark
01:25:36that's the work of someone who's not operating in the real world
01:25:40well if you don't mind i thought that was perfect
01:25:42i spilled water over maxwell
01:25:45oh sorry
01:25:45get him to leave the table just at the right time
01:25:48grab a rib and off we jolly well go
01:25:56nora?
01:25:57nora?
01:25:59were there any other failings?
01:26:01only this is more painful than getting notes from my editor
01:26:05you started to believe your own story
01:26:07right down to me being a terrible detective
01:26:12because you're clearly not are you?
01:26:15that's where fiction loses out to reality mrs hunter
01:26:20do you think they'll let me have a pen and paper when i go inside?
01:26:25that's not for me to say
01:26:27it's just that this is such a good mystery don't you think?
01:26:29i mean i should write it
01:26:30an inspector carnaby mystery
01:26:32carnaby?
01:26:33well it's just a working title
01:26:34early days yet
01:26:36i have two words for you mrs hunter
01:26:40the end
