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.
00:05:15I 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.
00:06:21It 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 this on the floor ever then.
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?
00:07:01Five, 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.
00:07:13So 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.
00:07:56I used to say to her, stick up for yourself.
00:07:58But 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.
00:08:12Which was unusual for them.
00:08:16What was your relationship to Nora, Mrs. Hunter?
00:08:22Sorry.
00:08:23Sorry.
00:08:23I'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 on lunch couldn't fix.
00:08:41Why did you fall out?
00:08:42Fall 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, Ansel?
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, right, sir.
00:09:41Sorry.
00:09:42Excuse me.
00:09:43Uh, I know how this is going to sound and, uh, strike me down for being so vulture-ish.
00:09:49Um, 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 you 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.
00:10:48I 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 until the menu changes.
00:11:24Tomorrow we go to Canada through the Rockies.
00:11:27Today'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. Digney.
00:11:48So, um, you were standing where exactly when Nora was murdered?
00:11:52It was no more than two feet away from the 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?
00:12:08Um, 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?
00:12:19No, all I had was a loud crash.
00:12:21Hmm.
00:12:22Anyway, I think that's us 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.
00:12:34You think she was trying to make a point?
00:12:35Yeah, I'd say that's exactly what she was doing.
00:12:39Hmm.
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.
00:12:50I just...
00:12:55It's Adeline, 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?
00:13:08I always take the bookings.
00:13:09In that case, I'd like the names of the couple who were sitting at the table across from my wife
00:13:14and 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, but we've only got one here.
00:14:00Well, there was also a vicar on board.
00:14:03Well, where is he?
00:14:04She, Winter.
00:14:05But you're right.
00:14:06Where is she?
00:14:09There we go.
00:14:10Oh.
00:14:11Taking's 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 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 bed.
00:14:43Mm-hmm.
00:14:50In honor of Nora?
00:14:53I will fetch some cups.
00:15:13No, it's a terrible loss.
00:15:15Nora was a big part of the village.
00:15:17Did you know her well?
00:15:18More so lately, what 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?
00:15:30This 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's never work. It's a joy. It's just a life's passion.
00:15:49What happens now? The auction gets cancelled?
00:15:52Ah, I see.
00:15:53So you think that I killed Nora to stop the auction?
00:15:58Yeah.
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.
00:17:34Oh, my God.
00:18:05Oh, fabulous. You've had a change of heart. I'll just, um, I'll get my notes.
00:18:09I'm here to talk to Reverend Proudfoot, so if you don't mind, Mrs. Hunter.
00:18:14Oh, please. I beg you. You see, it would be my tribute to Nora, and, you know, it's such a
00:18:19brilliant mystery, so...
00:18:28How can I help you?
00:18:35Mrs. Hunter, footsteps usually accompany you as you leave.
00:18:42Oh, my God. That is such a good line. I might borrow that for my next novel.
00:18:49Sorry, I'm definitely leaving. I mean, I'm just... I'm... consider me gone. Thank you.
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, so I asked people to send in photos,
00:19:11and I dug the sepia ones out of my attic.
00:19:14These are some of Fabians, and these are Nora's.
00:19:19Yes, God rest his soul.
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.
00:19:43Did you know her well?
00:19:45Mm. We were great friends.
00:19:47She was so good to the church.
00:19:50Not shy in spreading her wealth when it was needed.
00:19:57Uh, it may look self-congratulatory, but I can assure you that's to remind me to keep up the good
00:20:03work.
00:20:04The more headlines I make, the more I can alert people to 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 that 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.
00:20:57Clever 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.
00:21:07But 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 at some time 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 anywhere.
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...
00:22:07Uh, this 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 going to do, but typical of him, he said it had put people off
00:22:24their lunch, so I used the fire exit in case he tried to stop me.
00:22:29What do you say, Adeline?
00:22:32What do you say, Adeline?
00:22:34Will you marry me?
00:22:36Mother would say no to you.
00:22:43Can you talk us through why you didn't propose to Adeline earlier?
00:22:48Well, 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.
00:22:54Even 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, it must be.
00:23:07You think Jerome's lying?
00:23:09Well, when he snuck back inside his cottage, he could have grabbed the engagement ring and then just made the
00:23:13rest up.
00:23:14There you are.
00:23:16Look, serving your community.
00:23:18Or sunbathing.
00:23:19It'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?
00:23:29Oh, before you pirouette away, we also found this in a handbag.
00:23:34It's a draft of Harmony Hunter's latest novel.
00:23:40Murder is my middle name.
00:23:42Why would Nora have this?
00:23:45I'll have some bedtime reading for you.
00:23:47It was quite long, sir.
00:23:49Don't fret.
00:23:51Stubble-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.
00:24:19It 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.
00:24:32You know, what can you tell me about the threats that Nora was sending to Jerome's partner, Adeline?
00:24:39Threats?
00:24:40And 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.
00:25:16The 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.
00:25:23You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:25:25She wants to fix the church.
00:25:27I 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?
00:25:37Was 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.
00:25:46I don't even know what's in that weirdo's museum.
00:25:48And just for the record,
00:25:49I picked Nora up and dusted her down after Jerome left her high and dry.
00:25:54I made her happy again.
00:25:57And you know what else?
00:26:00She made me happy.
00:26:04Okay.
00:26:16How are you doing?
00:26:19I thought I might be able to escape into a world of fiction
00:26:23where 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.
00:26:43I know you've just got in,
00:26:44but 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.
00:26:53Aeroplane restaurant?
00:26:54Would that even be allowed?
00:26:55Well, that's a good point.
00:26:56Especially considering Black Mallet is celebrating 500 years
00:27:00as 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,
00:27:08but there's more.
00:27:09She also changed her will.
00:27:10At the same time,
00:27:11she left everything to her ex-husband, Jerome.
00:27:16I'll get my jacket.
00:27:19I'll get the vino myself.
00:27:26So, I want you to be best man.
00:27:28Are you kidding me?
00:27:30Mr. Peace, can we talk?
00:27:32Preferably in private.
00:27:35Well, whatever it is, I want Adelaide to hear.
00:27:38We don't do secrets.
00:27:40Nora changed her will two weeks ago.
00:27:43Everything she owned goes to you.
00:27:45What?
00:27:47I don't understand.
00:27:48Nora didn't tell you?
00:27:49No, 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.
00:28:14The soup tasted like puddle water.
00:28:16Bland, horribly 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?
00:28:24I'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 going to knock all of this down and the museum.
00:28:52Nora and Mumra agreed to that, did she?
00:28:54Maxwell was in the process of talking her round, but...
00:28:58Well, that's all moot, now that he inherits everything from her.
00:29:01Only he doesn't.
00:29:02Nora left everything to Jerome.
00:29:04No.
00:29:06Are you sure?
00:29:07Mm-hmm.
00:29:09Well, that's brilliant.
00:29:10I can ask Jerome to knock the museum down for me.
00:29:14Presuming that he wants to do that.
00:29:16Well, of course he will.
00:29:17He has a new fiancée to provide for.
00:29:19No, this really couldn't have worked out any better.
00:29:29Make 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.
00:29:45Wasn't mine, did we?
00:29:48We should lock up in future.
00:29:50Well, this is the house of God.
00:29:52The door's always open.
00:29:56Perhaps they should give the police a call.
00:29:59I'm sure it will turn up.
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 going to marry my uncle.
00:30:32Someone might see you.
00:30:51Wait until I tell you how much money he's just inherited.
00:30:55Already?
00:30:56Yeah.
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.
00:31:15Well, she has written one.
00:31:16Any good?
00:31:17Or any of them.
00:31:18Well, if you're a fan of eccentric characters and devilishly handsome detectives.
00:31:33What's Harmony's book like?
00:31:36Well, I 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.
00:31:49Jerome'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.
00:32:05Next.
00:32:06And then 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,
00:32:16because now he thinks that he can build a new restaurant in its place.
00:32:19That's a pretty big motive, sir.
00:32:21Hmm.
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.
00:32:35And yet, somehow or other, Nora had a draft of her new novel.
00:32:38Which would imply that they were already talking to each other before the lunch.
00:32:42Strange she didn't mention that to us.
00:32:43Hmm.
00:32:44What about her husband, Anselm?
00:32:46Nothing of note so far.
00:32:48The same goes for Adeline Carey and Verity Proudfoot, which leaves us with...
00:32:54Fabian McQuaid, who was 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.
00:33:22My uncle just inherited the museum.
00:33:24He 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?
00:33:35Hmm?
00:33:36Not that I'll be here to see them.
00:33:38I'm thinking of moving on soon.
00:33:40Yeah?
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?
00:34:04I didn't, till now.
00:34:05Nora never mentioned that it might be a possibility.
00:34:07It would 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.
00:34:23Yeah, here'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.
00:34:51The photo that was stolen, it was of a fire, correct?
00:34:55Well, that's an impressive memory.
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, but 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.
00:35:17Suddenly burnt down a couple of years ago, it was such a shame.
00:35:21It was Anselm's pride and joy.
00:35:24Anselm owned a tea room.
00:35:26And designed it.
00:35:37Tell us about the tea room fire, Mr. Hunter.
00:35:40It was down to a faulty steam pipe.
00:35:43Why 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, there's always something self-serving behind it.
00:36:13Do you know, I even saw Tyson making a donation to the church yesterday and ordinarily you'd think,
00:36:18Oh, that's a nice thing to do.
00:36:20Not with Tyson, though.
00:36:22There'll be something going on there.
00:36:23Trust 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.
00:37:08You gave us the impression that you hadn't been talking to each other, Mrs. Hunter.
00:37:11Well, 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.
00:37:28But I don't suppose she made any notes.
00:37:30Like, maybe in the margins.
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.
00:38:01I 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.
00:38:19Frankly, 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.
00:38:53I 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.
00:39:10Now get out.
00:39:11Well, come on.
00:39:15Come on.
00:39:25Good morning.
00:39:32I'm sorry.
00:39:33My son.
00:39:44Ah, what are you doing here?
00:39:46You 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.
00:39:54Well, he'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.
00:40:02So, will all Air Maxwell passengers please make their way to the check-in?
00:40:28If the police find out you took that...
00:40:30Yeah, well, Nora was clearly sending you a message.
00:40:37Harmony, don'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, that man he ruined.
00:40:50Your life, he stole everything from you.
00:40:53Not everything.
00:40:55There was one thing he missed.
00:40:58My self-worth.
00:41:01And I won't let him take that.
00:41:13Look at all the vultures.
00:41:18It's 12 o'clock.
00:41:21So, 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.
00:41:47It looks like the auction's off then.
00:42:04That's Fabian's whistle.
00:42:06How did that get there?
00:42:07I'd say someone forced it down his throat.
00:42:09While he was choking on it.
00:42:10It took the opportunity to just shove him off the gantry.
00:42:14Landing on a model steam train.
00:42:17And he signed a Maxwell's phone?
00:42:19Not yet.
00:42:20What about a key to the museum?
00:42:21No.
00:42:24So, if the door was unlocked at 12 on the dot,
00:42:28how did Maxwell go in here prior to that?
00:42:33Right.
00:42:34Oh, bless Verity, I'd be starving without her.
00:42:38Huh?
00:42:39She gives you food from the church donations.
00:42:41Clearly, I am a worthy cause.
00:42:45Chin, chin.
00:42:48Mmm, mmm, mmm.
00:42:52Call that tomato soup.
00:42:54Tastes like the puddle water Tyson served up.
00:42:57No.
00:42:57Mm-mm.
00:42:58When was the last time you saw Maxwell Monroe?
00:43:01I don't know.
00:43:02He popped in about three hours ago.
00:43:05Yeah, when I say popped in,
00:43:07he strode in like a puffed-up pigeon
00:43:10crying about how he was going to bulldoze the museum.
00:43:12And before you start with your accusations,
00:43:15I already knew Jerome had inherited it,
00:43:17so Maxwell was wasting his time.
00:43:18Anyway, I escorted him out,
00:43:21locked up, and went to see Verity.
00:43:23Any idea how your train whistle
00:43:25became a possible murder weapon?
00:43:26Wouldn't have the foggiest.
00:43:28Maxwell snatched it from me and walked off with it.
00:43:30Maxwell clearly returned to the museum.
00:43:33And someone let him in.
00:43:34Not necessarily.
00:43:36Nora had a key.
00:43:37It's her museum after all,
00:43:38so I imagine he used that.
00:43:40We didn't find one on him.
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:42Erm, who else has one?
00:43:44That'd be...
00:43:45Anne Selman Josh.
00:43:49Earlier, you said that the tomato soup
00:43:52tasted like puddle water.
00:43:54I read a review of Trax
00:43:55that said the exact same thing, Mr. McQuaid.
00:44:00Mr. McQuaid?
00:44:02I couldn't resist posting it.
00:44:04Straight after Nora's murder?
00:44:06I gave it a good hour out of respect,
00:44:08but it's too good a chance
00:44:10to get my own back on Tyson.
00:44:12You hate him that much?
00:44:14Him and his soup.
00:44:19Watery soup, Winter.
00:44:22Sir?
00:44:27You were right.
00:44:39What is this?
00:44:40According to the set menu,
00:44:41we should find ingredients
00:44:43for a revisionist tomato soup.
00:44:45The tomatoes are marinated
00:44:47for two days
00:44:48in a sauce
00:44:49of molasses,
00:44:50ginger,
00:44:51and paprika.
00:44:52They're then warmed,
00:44:54peeled and squeezed
00:44:55until every drop
00:44:57of juice and flavour
00:44:59has oozed from them.
00:45:02there's nothing but these
00:45:03empty packets.
00:45:05They're for the staff.
00:45:07Harmony Hunter told us
00:45:08that she saw you
00:45:09giving money to Verity.
00:45:10Yes, well,
00:45:12I'm a generous man.
00:45:13Well, not that generous.
00:45:14You've been helping yourself
00:45:15with the donated food
00:45:15and then passing it off
00:45:16as Nouveau Cuisine.
00:45:17Helping myself?
00:45:18No, Verity's been helping herself.
00:45:20She charged me for that stuff.
00:45:22She sells it to you?
00:45:23Well, I'm not the only
00:45:25charlatan in this town.
00:45:26At first, yes,
00:45:28she caught me nicking some,
00:45:29but then we came
00:45:30to some arrangement.
00:45:31All the same,
00:45:32if this got out,
00:45:32you'd be ruined.
00:45:34My wife noticed
00:45:35that Nora didn't applaud you
00:45:36like the rest of us did,
00:45:38Mr. Digby.
00:45:38Was that because she knew
00:45:39what you'd been doing?
00:45:40No, she didn't applaud me.
00:45:42She didn't applaud me
00:45:43because I reckon
00:45:44she wasn't as keen
00:45:45on the aeroplane restaurant
00:45:46as Maxwell first made out.
00:45:48We assume he hadn't managed
00:45:49to persuade her.
00:45:50She wanted to divorce him.
00:45:52And she cut him out
00:45:53of her will.
00:45:54I'd say there's no way
00:45:55she wanted either of you
00:45:55getting your hands
00:45:56at the museum.
00:45:57So what was it
00:45:58that Maxwell did
00:45:58to upset you,
00:45:59Mr. Digby?
00:46:00Did you find out
00:46:01that he wasn't being honest
00:46:02with you and that your plans
00:46:03were about to go up in smoke?
00:46:06So you think I killed him?
00:46:08I needed him.
00:46:09I needed his design.
00:46:10So why would I sabotage
00:46:12myself like that?
00:46:13Look, I'm on the verge
00:46:14of losing one restaurant.
00:46:16I'm not going to lose another.
00:46:17Sir.
00:46:26Sir, Jerome's sent
00:46:27through Nora's bank statements.
00:46:29Turns out she was broke.
00:46:30He thinks it'll exonerate him.
00:46:32Not if he's only
00:46:33just learnt that.
00:46:37Harmony Hunter was right, sir.
00:46:39Maxwell was bleeding Nora dry.
00:46:40That definitely explains
00:46:42the need for the auction.
00:46:43Also, look at this one.
00:46:44£15,000.
00:46:45And to St. Mally's Church.
00:46:46That's a lot of money
00:46:47for a roof repair.
00:46:47Indeed it is, Winter.
00:46:54It appears that despite
00:46:55Nora's donation,
00:46:57the roof was never repaired.
00:47:03You can say that again.
00:47:10Verity's not here, sir.
00:47:13Look at this picture
00:47:14of the roof tiles.
00:47:16What do you think
00:47:17it's about?
00:47:18A wild guess.
00:47:19Roof tiles?
00:47:22I think it's a reminder to Verity
00:47:24about the money she didn't spend
00:47:25on the church roof.
00:47:29Do you know where Reverend Browford is?
00:47:32Out tending to a flock,
00:47:33I'd imagine.
00:47:34Do you have a key to her office?
00:47:36Well, Verity never locks doors.
00:47:37It should just be open.
00:47:48I don't get it, sir.
00:47:49I don't get it, sir.
00:47:49Verity helps people.
00:47:51The lost, the needy,
00:47:52ex-prisoners.
00:47:54I think she may have also
00:47:56helped herself.
00:47:57And took the roof money.
00:47:59Now, Nora must have challenged Verity on it.
00:48:02Oh, Nora wasn't like that.
00:48:04She was shy,
00:48:05non-confrontational.
00:48:06I don't know.
00:48:07The roof tiles photos
00:48:08seem pretty confrontational.
00:48:10Hmm.
00:48:11Good point, Winter.
00:48:12Which means
00:48:13something must have changed
00:48:14in Nora.
00:48:16Something that
00:48:17gave her the strength
00:48:19to start making her point.
00:48:21Well, if the roof tiles were a message,
00:48:22then maybe the fire was as well.
00:48:24Oh, I think that was about
00:48:26Anselm's tea room
00:48:27going up in flames.
00:48:29But everyone knows about that.
00:48:30It's not a secret.
00:48:34And then there must be more to it.
00:48:36Something else has gone on
00:48:38between Anselm and Nora.
00:48:42Find Reverend Proudfoot.
00:48:43I'm going to talk to Anselm.
00:48:50Will you tell me about
00:48:51your tea room, Mr. Hunter?
00:48:53Did Nora Munro
00:48:54see you setting fire to it?
00:48:56How on earth
00:48:57do you know about that?
00:48:58Anselm,
00:48:59haven't you learned anything
00:49:00from my novels?
00:49:00You say no comment
00:49:01over and over.
00:49:03It's up to them
00:49:04to prove these accusations.
00:49:07And you stole the
00:49:08fire photograph
00:49:09because of what it represented?
00:49:11Well, actually,
00:49:11I took it.
00:49:12I saw it yesterday
00:49:14and realized what it meant.
00:49:16But that was after
00:49:17Nora died.
00:49:18I hadn't seen it before then,
00:49:19before you start
00:49:20casting aspersions.
00:49:22Why, though?
00:49:23Without Nora,
00:49:24it's just a photograph.
00:49:25I did it for Anselm.
00:49:28I didn't...
00:49:29I didn't want him
00:49:30being reminded.
00:49:34That tea room
00:49:35was my dream
00:49:36and I...
00:49:38Anselm.
00:49:40They'll find out
00:49:41soon enough.
00:49:44I...
00:49:45I was left with no choice.
00:49:48I had to burn
00:49:49my pride and joy
00:49:49to the ground.
00:49:51But the insurance people
00:49:52refused to pay out.
00:49:54They couldn't prove
00:49:55anything
00:49:57but decided
00:49:58that there was
00:49:59something off
00:50:00about my claim.
00:50:02Did Nora contact them,
00:50:04tell them
00:50:04that she'd seen you perhaps?
00:50:05I'm just going to
00:50:06stop you there.
00:50:07Number one,
00:50:07no,
00:50:07she didn't.
00:50:08And two,
00:50:09you're way off the mark.
00:50:11Anselm did not want
00:50:12revenge on Nora.
00:50:14Anyway,
00:50:15why would he wait
00:50:15this long?
00:50:17One last question,
00:50:18Anselm.
00:50:19Oh, for goodness sake.
00:50:20When was the last time
00:50:21you saw Maxwell Monroe?
00:50:23I saw him earlier today
00:50:26and I lowered myself
00:50:27to a new depth
00:50:29by asking him
00:50:31for a job.
00:50:33I thought I could
00:50:34get back into design.
00:50:36What did he say to that?
00:50:37That's enough,
00:50:38Anselm,
00:50:38that you don't...
00:50:39He laughed him.
00:50:40My face.
00:50:45Sorry, man.
00:50:46I've got to hold up.
00:50:47It's all right.
00:50:49Let 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.
00:50:57The museum tracks
00:50:58everything and anything.
00:51:00But wait,
00:51:00this 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,
00:51:10I wasn't expecting
00:51:11a round of applause
00:51:11but look a bit excited,
00:51:13Jerome.
00:51:15I don't think
00:51:16I can let you do that.
00:51:18That's the last thing
00:51:19Nora would have wanted.
00:51:19But she's dead.
00:51:21So what does it matter?
00:51:23Come on,
00:51:23this is what stepbrothers do.
00:51:24They create
00:51:25the uncreatable.
00:51:27they turn airplanes
00:51:28into restaurants,
00:51:29Jerome.
00:51:32I'm sorry,
00:51:33Ty.
00:51:35Nora entrusted
00:51:35that museum to me.
00:51:37I'm going to uphold
00:51:38that trust.
00:51:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:51:39Get off me.
00:51:40The things that I have done
00:51:42just to get to this point.
00:51:44What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:45It means
00:51:45is I 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
00:52:08with lost souls.
00:52:09This is work,
00:52:10I'm afraid.
00:52:12Can you tell me
00:52:13when Fabian
00:52:14came to see you earlier?
00:52:15Oh, roughly
00:52:16around 10.30.
00:52:19Why?
00:52:20And when did he leave?
00:52:21Around quarter to 12.
00:52:23Just before the auction started.
00:52:24Is that why
00:52:25your sergeant
00:52:26dragged me away?
00:52:27Some of my parishioners
00:52:28can't go a day
00:52:28without me.
00:52:30Let's talk about
00:52:31the church finances,
00:52:32particularly concerning
00:52:35the church roof.
00:52:37That is what
00:52:37Nora's photograph
00:52:38of the roof tiles
00:52:39is about.
00:52:40Well, I thought
00:52:42it was about
00:52:43the storm.
00:52:52Oh.
00:53:01I'll tell you everything.
00:53:03I promise.
00:53:11it was my favorite
00:53:12bracelet.
00:53:14A spectacularly
00:53:15expensive one
00:53:16that was left
00:53:18to me
00:53:19by my late
00:53:20sister.
00:53:21I mislaid it
00:53:22and I was
00:53:23devastated.
00:53:25All I could think
00:53:26to do was
00:53:27replace it
00:53:28so I
00:53:28took out a loan
00:53:30and I
00:53:31bought a new one.
00:53:33But oh gosh,
00:53:34the interest
00:53:35the interest
00:53:35was extortionate.
00:53:36I couldn't
00:53:37keep up
00:53:38the payment
00:53:39so
00:53:40off I went
00:53:41back to the
00:53:41jewelers.
00:53:42But they
00:53:43well,
00:53:44if you'll
00:53:45excuse the expression
00:53:46it comes from
00:53:47spending too much
00:53:49time
00:53:49visiting prisons
00:53:51they
00:53:51stiffed me
00:53:53on the price.
00:53:54So there I was
00:53:55trinketless
00:53:56and
00:53:57in debt.
00:54:00Which left
00:54:01you with
00:54:01no option
00:54:02but to use
00:54:03Nora's donation
00:54:05to pay off
00:54:05the rest of the loan.
00:54:07Exactly.
00:54:08I see that you
00:54:09feel my pain.
00:54:10I thought given time
00:54:11I could save the money
00:54:12I could get the roof
00:54:13done myself.
00:54:14You know,
00:54:14I'm a very
00:54:14determined person
00:54:15when I put my mind
00:54:16to something.
00:54:17Is that when you
00:54:18started selling
00:54:19the donated food
00:54:20to Tyson?
00:54:23Well,
00:54:23rest assured
00:54:24that money
00:54:25is for the homeless
00:54:26and shame on you
00:54:27for thinking
00:54:27otherwise.
00:54:30Presumably
00:54:31Nora threatened
00:54:32to tell the
00:54:33diocese about
00:54:34what you did
00:54:35with the money
00:54:35she donated.
00:54:36Well,
00:54:37she'd learned
00:54:38that Maxwell
00:54:39had spent
00:54:39her last penny.
00:54:41She needed
00:54:41money to
00:54:42pay for
00:54:43an expensive
00:54:44divorce solicitor
00:54:45so she saw
00:54:46the roof
00:54:46hadn't been
00:54:46repaired yet
00:54:47so naturally
00:54:48she asked
00:54:49for the money
00:54:49back and
00:54:49I wanted to
00:54:50help her
00:54:50I just
00:54:51needed more
00:54:51time.
00:54:52And how
00:54:53did that
00:54:53conversation go?
00:54:54Well,
00:54:55once I
00:54:55explained
00:54:56everything
00:54:56Nora was
00:54:57extremely
00:54:58understanding
00:54:58she said
00:54:59that she
00:54:59would find
00:55:00another way
00:55:00to fund
00:55:01her divorce.
00:55:04Is that
00:55:05true,
00:55:05Reverend?
00:55:07Because
00:55:09that photograph
00:55:10of the roof
00:55:11tiles
00:55:12is a sure
00:55:13sign
00:55:13that Nora
00:55:15was running
00:55:15out of patience
00:55:16with you
00:55:17and you
00:55:18may have
00:55:19realised
00:55:19that.
00:55:29is
00:55:30Harmony's
00:55:30book
00:55:30any good?
00:55:31It's
00:55:32alright
00:55:32if you're
00:55:33happy
00:55:33wading
00:55:34through
00:55:34tons
00:55:34of
00:55:34adjectives.
00:55:36But what
00:55:37is interesting
00:55:38though
00:55:38is there's
00:55:39a character
00:55:40called
00:55:40Flora
00:55:41and she
00:55:42inherits
00:55:42money
00:55:43from an
00:55:43aunt.
00:55:44It's a bit
00:55:44of a coincidence
00:55:44don't you
00:55:45think?
00:55:46She's also
00:55:46trodden on
00:55:47by everyone.
00:55:48No one
00:55:48respects her.
00:55:49No one
00:55:49listens to her.
00:55:50Well that
00:55:50could be
00:55:50what she
00:55:51and Harmony
00:55:51Hunter
00:55:52really fell
00:55:52out over.
00:55:53The way
00:55:54she was
00:55:54represented
00:55:54in the
00:55:55novel.
00:55:55And probably
00:55:56set her
00:55:57on a path
00:55:57to settle
00:55:58scores.
00:55:59Oh,
00:55:59I called
00:56:00the insurance
00:56:00company
00:56:01that were
00:56:01investigating
00:56:02tea room
00:56:03fire and
00:56:04everything
00:56:04that Anselm
00:56:05admitted to
00:56:06was bang
00:56:07on.
00:56:07Unfortunately
00:56:08Harmony
00:56:09makes a
00:56:10very valid
00:56:10point.
00:56:11Why take
00:56:12revenge now?
00:56:14Okay,
00:56:15so this
00:56:16is where
00:56:17we are at
00:56:17now.
00:56:18It looks
00:56:18like Harmony
00:56:19Hunter wrote
00:56:20a novel
00:56:20that Nora
00:56:22wasn't happy
00:56:22with.
00:56:23She can't
00:56:23have been
00:56:23happy with
00:56:24Anselm
00:56:24either
00:56:25considering
00:56:25the photograph
00:56:26of the
00:56:26fire.
00:56:27So Anselm
00:56:28kills Nora
00:56:29for bringing
00:56:30up the
00:56:31tea room
00:56:31fire and
00:56:31then kills
00:56:32Maxwell
00:56:33for laughing
00:56:34at his
00:56:34desperate
00:56:34need for
00:56:35a job.
00:56:35Not
00:56:36exactly
00:56:36compelling
00:56:37motives
00:56:38unlike
00:56:39Fabian
00:56:40whose
00:56:40lifelong
00:56:41passion
00:56:42was about
00:56:42to be
00:56:43sold off.
00:56:43So Fabian
00:56:44kills Nora
00:56:45for selling
00:56:46off the
00:56:46steam engines
00:56:47and then
00:56:48kills
00:56:48thinking he'll
00:56:49inherit the
00:56:50museum.
00:56:50The only
00:56:51trouble being
00:56:51he didn't
00:56:52need to
00:56:53kill
00:56:53Maxwell
00:56:54because he
00:56:55already knew
00:56:55that Jerome
00:56:56had inherited
00:56:57the museum.
00:56:58Okay,
00:56:58so what about
00:56:59Jerome then?
00:56:59I mean,
00:56:59he inherited
00:57:00property and
00:57:01land.
00:57:01But why
00:57:02kill Maxwell?
00:57:02Jerome had
00:57:03everything.
00:57:05Let's move
00:57:05on to Tyson.
00:57:06Yeah,
00:57:06he's still
00:57:07high on my
00:57:07list.
00:57:08Or maybe
00:57:08he suspected
00:57:09that Nora
00:57:10would never
00:57:10sell the
00:57:10museum.
00:57:11So Tyson
00:57:11kills Nora
00:57:13not knowing
00:57:13at the time
00:57:14that Maxwell
00:57:15wouldn't
00:57:15inherit.
00:57:16Yeah,
00:57:17but again,
00:57:18why kill
00:57:19Maxwell?
00:57:19Tyson needed
00:57:20him for
00:57:21the designs.
00:57:23What about
00:57:23Verity?
00:57:24Can we
00:57:25tie her
00:57:25to both
00:57:26murders?
00:57:26Well,
00:57:26knowing what
00:57:27we know
00:57:27so far,
00:57:29only Nora's.
00:57:31Josh?
00:57:32Adeline?
00:57:33I mean,
00:57:33somehow it seems
00:57:34that no matter
00:57:34who we look
00:57:35at,
00:57:35we can't find
00:57:36a clear motive
00:57:36for both
00:57:37murders.
00:57:39What are we
00:57:40missing,
00:57:40sir?
00:57:54dinner is
00:57:55served.
00:57:58We usually
00:57:59have shepherd's
00:57:59pie on a
00:58:00Wednesday.
00:58:01Well,
00:58:01not today,
00:58:03my friend.
00:58:04Not today.
00:58:06What do you
00:58:06want,
00:58:07Tyson?
00:58:07I'm here to
00:58:08offer Anselm
00:58:09a job.
00:58:09I want you
00:58:10to finish
00:58:11Maxwell's
00:58:12design for
00:58:12my new
00:58:13restaurant.
00:58:13Please,
00:58:14take a look.
00:58:22That looks
00:58:22incredible.
00:58:23But where
00:58:24are you going
00:58:24to put
00:58:25an aeroplane?
00:58:26Um,
00:58:27where the
00:58:27museum is,
00:58:28when it's
00:58:29been knocked
00:58:29down.
00:58:31Oh.
00:58:33I think
00:58:33that's a
00:58:34no.
00:58:35I couldn't
00:58:36do that
00:58:36to Fabian.
00:58:38he's my
00:58:39best friend.
00:58:40But I'm
00:58:40your best
00:58:40friend now,
00:58:41Anselm.
00:58:43And if you
00:58:43finish Maxwell's
00:58:44design,
00:58:44then you
00:58:45are back
00:58:45in business.
00:58:48I think
00:58:48we both
00:58:49need this
00:58:50to happen.
00:58:52Don't you?
00:58:59Winter.
00:59:00Sir.
00:59:01I'm sorry
00:59:01to interrupt
00:59:01your evening.
00:59:04But there's
00:59:05a bit of gossip
00:59:05going around
00:59:06the station
00:59:06and it's
00:59:07about you.
00:59:08Ignore it,
00:59:08Winter,
00:59:08it's all
00:59:09in hand.
00:59:10Yeah,
00:59:10well,
00:59:10word is
00:59:11that a
00:59:11prisoner is
00:59:11appealing his
00:59:12conviction on
00:59:13the grounds
00:59:13that you
00:59:14made a mistake
00:59:14in an old
00:59:15case.
00:59:15Jamie!
00:59:16I'm still
00:59:16waiting for
00:59:17that brandy.
00:59:18We might
00:59:18need it now
00:59:19that John's
00:59:19cooking tonight.
00:59:21Winter
00:59:21appears to be
00:59:22worried about me.
00:59:23Oh,
00:59:24has he finally
00:59:24told you about
00:59:25Clyde Southen?
00:59:25Good.
00:59:26Kept telling
00:59:27him to.
00:59:27Well,
00:59:28at least you
00:59:28seem worried
00:59:29about it,
00:59:29Mrs. B.
00:59:29Take a seat,
00:59:30Winter.
00:59:31This is just
00:59:31about ready.
00:59:32I can't say
00:59:33I'm happy
00:59:33about it,
00:59:34but you
00:59:35and I both
00:59:35know that
00:59:36DCI John
00:59:37Barnaby does
00:59:37not make
00:59:38mistakes at
00:59:38work.
00:59:40Elsewhere,
00:59:40yes.
00:59:41Constantly,
00:59:42in fact,
00:59:42but not
00:59:43when it
00:59:43comes to
00:59:44murder.
00:59:44Well,
00:59:45apparently
00:59:45Southen's
00:59:45already splashed
00:59:46out on a
00:59:46top lawyer.
00:59:48It smells
00:59:48good if I
00:59:49do say
00:59:49so myself.
00:59:50They're
00:59:50disputing
00:59:51witnesses'
00:59:51statements,
00:59:52that they
00:59:52couldn't
00:59:53actually identify
00:59:53Southen at
00:59:54the scene.
00:59:58Voila!
00:59:59Casseroles
01:00:00de Barleby.
01:00:01It does
01:00:01make you
01:00:02wonder where
01:00:02a prisoner
01:00:02would get
01:00:03that kind
01:00:03of money
01:00:03from.
01:00:04It's not
01:00:04from, say,
01:00:05mailbags,
01:00:06is it?
01:00:06That's for
01:00:06sure.
01:00:10Bon appétit.
01:00:12We seem
01:00:13very confident,
01:00:13sir.
01:00:15Not as much
01:00:16as you might
01:00:16think.
01:00:18I knew it.
01:00:20I'm worried
01:00:21I've used
01:00:21too much
01:00:21tarragon.
01:00:32Adeline.
01:00:34You said
01:00:35you always
01:00:36take the
01:00:36bookings.
01:00:37Well,
01:00:37I need
01:00:37to know
01:00:38who had
01:00:38eaten
01:00:39at
01:00:39tracks
01:00:40before
01:00:40Nora
01:00:41was killed,
01:00:41particularly
01:00:42during
01:00:43the
01:00:43Switzerland
01:00:44experience.
01:00:46Give me
01:00:46a sec.
01:00:52Here we
01:00:53go.
01:00:53Looks like
01:00:54that
01:00:54vicar
01:00:54was in
01:00:55here a
01:00:55few
01:00:55times.
01:00:56Was she
01:00:56ever with
01:00:56Fabian
01:00:57McQuaid?
01:00:58Keep up.
01:00:59I told you
01:00:59he'd never
01:01:00been on
01:01:00board
01:01:00before.
01:01:02And then
01:01:03there's
01:01:03Nora.
01:01:04And
01:01:04Maxwell,
01:01:05presumably.
01:01:06Sometimes,
01:01:07but not
01:01:07recently.
01:01:08Lately,
01:01:09Nora had
01:01:09been sitting
01:01:09on her
01:01:10own,
01:01:10looking like
01:01:10a,
01:01:11what
01:01:11does it
01:01:11say?
01:01:12Like a
01:01:12bulldog,
01:01:12licking
01:01:13a nettle.
01:01:14She always
01:01:15timed it
01:01:15when Jerome
01:01:16came in
01:01:16to eat
01:01:16his lunch.
01:01:17They dined
01:01:18together?
01:01:19Not after
01:01:19I caught
01:01:20his eye.
01:01:21Is that
01:01:22all?
01:01:22Uh,
01:01:23that sad
01:01:24bloke,
01:01:25Anselm.
01:01:27He came
01:01:28in with
01:01:28his wife.
01:01:29She was
01:01:29nattering
01:01:29on and
01:01:30on to
01:01:30this woman,
01:01:31her publisher,
01:01:31I think it
01:01:32was.
01:01:33Well,
01:01:34thank you,
01:01:34Adeline.
01:01:35That's very
01:01:35helpful.
01:01:36Now,
01:01:36go on.
01:01:37It ain't
01:01:37done.
01:01:38Bit rude.
01:01:40Only,
01:01:40I've got to
01:01:41tell you about
01:01:41this one time.
01:01:42I had to
01:01:42tell Harmony
01:01:43to sling her
01:01:43up.
01:01:44Yeah,
01:01:45she and her
01:01:45publisher
01:01:45were having
01:01:46a big old
01:01:47bust up,
01:01:48and then
01:01:48suddenly Harmony
01:01:49is in tears,
01:01:50and I'm
01:01:50laughing,
01:01:51like,
01:01:51over a book.
01:01:53It's me.
01:01:55Anyways,
01:01:55I had to tell
01:01:56them to leave
01:01:56because they
01:01:57were putting
01:01:57the diners
01:01:57off their ribs.
01:01:58I remember
01:01:59it because
01:02:00it was the
01:02:00same day
01:02:01you called
01:02:01and booked.
01:02:02I thought
01:02:03you were
01:02:03Johnny Barney.
01:02:04I got all
01:02:05excited.
01:02:06Johnny Barney?
01:02:07He's an
01:02:07influencer.
01:02:09He's well
01:02:10famous.
01:02:11Anyways,
01:02:12such a
01:02:12letdown
01:02:13when you
01:02:13turned out
01:02:13to be a
01:02:13boring old cop.
01:02:15Sorry to
01:02:16disappoint.
01:02:18That's a
01:02:19nice bracelet.
01:02:20Yeah,
01:02:20Jerome got it
01:02:21for me.
01:02:21I thought
01:02:22I'd just
01:02:22try it on
01:02:22today.
01:02:23It's nice
01:02:24of you to
01:02:24notice.
01:02:33So,
01:02:33you've heard
01:02:33the rumours?
01:02:35Well,
01:02:35what do you
01:02:35think,
01:02:36then?
01:02:36Did the boss
01:02:37slip up?
01:02:38Never in a
01:02:39million years.
01:02:40That's what
01:02:40I keep telling
01:02:40myself.
01:02:41So,
01:02:41why are you
01:02:42reading
01:02:42Saldan's
01:02:43case file?
01:02:44Because
01:02:44there's just
01:02:45there's
01:02:45something about
01:02:46this.
01:02:47What is it,
01:02:48Winter?
01:02:49You can tell
01:02:50your auntie
01:02:50Fleur.
01:02:51She's very
01:02:52discreet.
01:02:52Right.
01:02:53Well,
01:02:54it's more
01:02:55that this
01:02:55appeal is
01:02:55happening now.
01:02:56The boss
01:02:56is always
01:02:57banging on
01:02:57about why
01:02:58now,
01:02:58and yet
01:02:58this time
01:02:59he isn't.
01:03:00It doesn't
01:03:00sound like it.
01:03:01Yeah,
01:03:01so I thought
01:03:02I'd ask the
01:03:02question instead.
01:03:03And it
01:03:03turns out
01:03:04that the
01:03:04vicar in
01:03:05Black Mallet
01:03:06helps
01:03:06rehabilitate
01:03:07prisoners.
01:03:07And she's
01:03:08also claiming
01:03:08that she
01:03:09used a
01:03:09hefty
01:03:09donation
01:03:10from
01:03:10Nora
01:03:10to pay
01:03:11off a
01:03:11loan.
01:03:11Money that
01:03:12incidentally
01:03:13would be
01:03:13enough to
01:03:13pay for
01:03:14a top
01:03:14lawyer
01:03:15for
01:03:15Clyde
01:03:16Saldan.
01:03:17The boss
01:03:18hasn't
01:03:18mentioned
01:03:18this
01:03:18coincidence
01:03:18once.
01:03:20That's
01:03:21very good,
01:03:21Winter.
01:03:25Very good
01:03:26indeed.
01:03:29But
01:03:30what do I
01:03:31do with
01:03:31this?
01:03:31That's
01:03:31easy.
01:03:32You run
01:03:33with it.
01:03:33And if
01:03:34needed,
01:03:35I'll be
01:03:35right behind
01:03:36you.
01:03:39Sir?
01:03:44You're
01:03:45filming the
01:03:46museum?
01:03:47I wanted
01:03:48a historical
01:03:49record.
01:03:50It'll be
01:03:51sad to
01:03:51see it
01:03:52go,
01:03:52but I guess
01:03:53we have to
01:03:53move with
01:03:54the times,
01:03:55chase our
01:03:55dreams and
01:03:56all that.
01:03:57I'm not
01:03:57sure what
01:03:58you're
01:03:58driving at,
01:03:58Ansel.
01:04:01It's
01:04:01all right.
01:04:01Tyson
01:04:02told me
01:04:02you're
01:04:02knocking
01:04:03it
01:04:03down.
01:04:05Well,
01:04:06he's
01:04:06wrong,
01:04:07and
01:04:08trust me,
01:04:10nobody's
01:04:10touching
01:04:10it.
01:04:11He
01:04:11don't
01:04:11understand.
01:04:12You have
01:04:13to knock
01:04:13it down.
01:04:15I thought
01:04:16you'd
01:04:16loved all
01:04:16that stuff
01:04:17Fabian had
01:04:17in there.
01:04:18I want
01:04:19my life
01:04:19back,
01:04:20Jerov.
01:04:20Well,
01:04:21that's not
01:04:21on me,
01:04:21that's
01:04:21your
01:04:22problem.
01:04:23The museum's
01:04:24staying.
01:04:32Josh.
01:04:34You'd
01:04:34like a
01:04:35word about
01:04:36Adeline.
01:04:38What's
01:04:38to say,
01:04:39she's my
01:04:39friend?
01:04:39Do you
01:04:40always give
01:04:40expensive
01:04:41bracelets to
01:04:41your friends?
01:04:42Bracelets that
01:04:43don't actually
01:04:43belong to
01:04:44you.
01:04:44Only
01:04:45Adeline is
01:04:45wearing the
01:04:45exact same
01:04:46one that
01:04:46Verity wore
01:04:47in one of
01:04:47her office
01:04:47photographs.
01:04:48That's not
01:04:49the nicest
01:04:49thing to
01:04:50do after
01:04:50someone takes
01:04:51you in and
01:04:51puts a
01:04:51roof over
01:04:52your head.
01:04:52Is that
01:04:53why your
01:04:53mother kicked
01:04:53you out?
01:04:54You stole
01:04:54from her
01:04:55as well?
01:04:55I just
01:04:56wanted to
01:04:56get Adeline
01:04:56something nice
01:04:58to show
01:04:58how much
01:04:59I love
01:04:59her.
01:04:59Which begs
01:05:01another
01:05:01question.
01:05:02Nora was
01:05:02sending
01:05:03threatening
01:05:03letters to
01:05:04Adeline.
01:05:05Did she
01:05:05know that
01:05:06you and
01:05:06Adeline
01:05:06were more
01:05:07than
01:05:07friends?
01:05:08Oh,
01:05:08she did.
01:05:09She never
01:05:09said anything
01:05:09to me.
01:05:10Look,
01:05:11you can't
01:05:12tell my
01:05:12uncle about
01:05:12this.
01:05:13Who
01:05:14else
01:05:14knew?
01:05:15Maxwell
01:05:16Munro,
01:05:16for instance?
01:05:18You saw
01:05:19him and
01:05:19Adeline
01:05:19together,
01:05:19yeah?
01:05:21And?
01:05:24He
01:05:24called us
01:05:24to meet
01:05:25him.
01:05:26And he
01:05:26said she
01:05:27had to
01:05:27persuade
01:05:27Jerome
01:05:27to
01:05:28bulldoze
01:05:28the
01:05:28museum.
01:05:29Only
01:05:29he
01:05:30was
01:05:30murdered
01:05:30before
01:05:31any
01:05:31of
01:05:31that
01:05:31could
01:05:31happen.
01:05:33Look,
01:05:33I know
01:05:33it's
01:05:34wrong
01:05:34what me
01:05:34and Adeline
01:05:34have
01:05:34been
01:05:34doing.
01:05:36But we
01:05:37just want
01:05:37to be
01:05:37together.
01:05:37That's
01:05:37not a
01:05:38crime.
01:05:39But what
01:05:39it leads
01:05:40to
01:05:40can
01:05:40be.
01:06:08help!
01:06:10Help!
01:06:11I'm stuck!
01:06:14No.
01:06:33The one day you don't want the trains to run on time.
01:06:37Anyway, on the first inspection, the 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 and ran him over.
01:06:53He was clutching this when we found him.
01:06:56I'd say it was left on purpose.
01:06:59Why would Adeline do that? It's way too obvious,
01:07:02which neatly brings me to a theory I've been working on so.
01:07:06How about thought, Winter?
01:07:11Hang in there. Can you get your moment?
01:07:22I'm very sorry about your stepbrother.
01:07:27Well, at least he's gonna get a new restaurant. In his memory.
01:07:32That's still going ahead?
01:07:34I'm Jerome's next of kin. I get everything. And that includes the museum.
01:07:40You do know how that sounds, Mr. Digby.
01:07:46Every fire has its phoenix.
01:07:50Oh, and by the way, I wouldn't have the first clue as to how to drive a train.
01:07:57Fabian McQuaid. He might, though.
01:08:13Mr. McQuaid.
01:08:15Uh, Kelsey Preeze.
01:08:17Thought you'd come a-knocking.
01:08:19When 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, yeah.
01:08:27And you didn't hear anything? Someone screaming for help, maybe?
01:08:30I heard a train tooting over and over again, if that's any help.
01:08:33You didn't think to go and have a look?
01:08:34Well, I was busy here.
01:08:36Can 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 and drive a steam train along it?
01:08:51Well, that'd be the three amigos. Me, Ansel, Josh.
01:08:55Though, to be honest, it's not that difficult.
01:08:56In fact, I'm pretty sure I saw Josh showing Adeline once.
01:09:00What about Reverend Proudfoot? Did you ever show her?
01:09:03Well, now you mention it, I did, actually. Yes.
01:09:09Presumably, you know how to drive the train and switch the tracks, Mr. Hunter.
01:09:14Hear that, Harmony? They're gunning for me.
01:09:18When did you last see Jerome?
01:09:21We chatted earlier.
01:09:23About?
01:09:24Nothing much, just stuff.
01:09:26I need more than that, Mr. Hunter.
01:09:30He said he was going to preserve the museum.
01:09:34You make it sound like that was a problem.
01:09:38Tyson has just promised me a job finishing Maxwell's designs.
01:09:42Anselm, will you please stop incriminating yourself?
01:09:46The way my look's going, they're going to find some way of pinning this on me regardless.
01:09:50Well, now that Jerome is dead, his step-brother Tyson inherits everything.
01:09:54So I'd say that your luck's back in, Mr. Hunter. Wouldn't you?
01:10:01Has your sergeant finished reading my novel yet? Only I'd love to know what he thought.
01:10:06He didn't say. Though he did tell me that the character of Flora is based on Nora.
01:10:13Really? That's a bit of a leap.
01:10:15Is it? I think what you wrote upset her hugely.
01:10:18But what I don't understand is why you gave it to her to read.
01:10:22Surely you knew she would recognize 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 Trax?
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 realizing that Harmony had left her novel hang around.
01:10:42Oh. Nora 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 tearoom 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, how taken advantage of.
01:11:13But in trying to step up, she managed to upset the wrong person.
01:11:19Oh.
01:11:21And listen, while you're here, why don't we go through my list of suspects?
01:11:26Mrs. Hunter, we are not in the pages of a novel.
01:11:31Apologies.
01:11:32I just, er, can'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.
01:11:50I'm so sorry about your own.
01:11:55I couldn't believe it.
01:11:57We were gonna go abroad together, start a new life.
01:12:00Police know about us.
01:12:04Okay.
01:12:04Well, that doesn't make us murderous.
01:12:06No, but it puts you quite high on the list, though.
01:12:10Did Verity ever mention any 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.
01:12:59It was Jerome's bank flagging an account he's added Adeline to.
01:13:04Breaking news.
01:13:05Adeline had recently transferred the funds from that account to her own.
01:13:11Before Jerome was killed.
01:13:13How's that for timing?
01:13:15And we've earned these.
01:13:17They're no's.
01:13:18And someone has been putting out specific phrases and...
01:13:23And turning them into poison pen letters.
01:13:25And then sending them to herself.
01:13:29Have you spoken to him, Pierre?
01:13:31I speak to him all day long, Fleur.
01:13:34He'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.
01:13:54What's going on?
01:13:56Tyson has asked me to finish Maxwell's designs.
01:14:02Has he now?
01:14:04I thought I should tell you in person.
01:14:06Out of common courtesy.
01:14:09Look at that little graveyard there, Anselm.
01:14:12Do you see it?
01:14:14Only I reckon it could do with a few more headstones.
01:14:18Is that some sort of threat?
01:14:21I'm not saying goodbye anytime soon.
01:14:24Do you understand?
01:14:26This is my palace.
01:14:28My kingdom.
01:14:29And I can't let it go.
01:14:31I refuse to let it go.
01:14:35And I will stop you and Tyson in any way I can.
01:14:43And she visited several times.
01:14:46Okay.
01:14:47Okay.
01:14:49Apparently Fleur thinks I should talk to you, Winter.
01:14:52Does she now?
01:14:53Well, good.
01:14:53Because that call was from the prison where Clyde Souten's being held.
01:14:56You're looking into Souten?
01:14:57It all adds up, sir.
01:14:59Just 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 realised.
01:15:04Another hand at work, as it were.
01:15:06Another hand as in...
01:15:07Well, initially I thought that Verity had been visiting Clyde Souten in prison,
01:15:11but it turns out she was seeing other prisoners.
01:15:13The person visiting Souten was...
01:15:16Adeline.
01:15:17Souten 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 breaths from her.
01:15:45Yes, 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, you saw him as a meal ticket.
01:16:01Plain and simple.
01:16:02But something happened when you started working alongside Josh.
01:16:06You...
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.
01:16:12And...
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 Clyde Souten, 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.
01:16:28Only now, you're trying to milk Jerome for your stepfather's appeal instead of running away with Josh.
01:16:33I 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 Souten, you got together and you hatched a plan that no one would ever suspect.
01:16:46Like what?
01:16:46To discredit Chief Inspector Barnaby.
01:16:49That's why these murders have always been so baffling.
01:16:52Usually there's something that connects them.
01:16:54Something 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.
01:17:01Me 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 here's the kicker.
01:17:09His inept failure would coincide perfectly with Souten'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 Souten, you created a story of an unsolvable murder.
01:17:28And, more importantly, an incompetent, oblivious, idiot of a detective.
01:17:35Tell me, tell me, how did it feel when you heard the Chief Inspector give his name when he was
01:17:40booking the restaurant?
01:17:41Well, I thought, what are the chances?
01:17:44And I called Clyde immediately, but I promise you there was no mad cat plan.
01:17:48Well, I may beg to differ, Adeline.
01:17:51I may beg to differ.
01:17:59So that was our sir.
01:18:01Very good, wasn't it?
01:18:03Very good indeed.
01:18:12You don't seem too shocked by any of this.
01:18:16I was there when you called the restaurant.
01:18:18I saw Adeline go outside and burn a stepdad.
01:18:22And then what did you do?
01:18:24I covered for her at work.
01:18:26Only I wasn't myself.
01:18:28I spilled some wine on a diner.
01:18:30They asked if I was okay and...
01:18:33sort of...
01:18:34let a few things slip.
01:18:36You did indeed, Josh.
01:18:39You told the one person in the world you shouldn't have.
01:18:44Sir.
01:18:46Are you saying that, um...
01:18:49that I'm wrong?
01:18:53I hate to rain on what was a very impressive parade.
01:18:57But yes, Winter.
01:19:00Adeline isn't our killer.
01:19:15It was Anselm.
01:19:17Of course.
01:19:20Where is Harmony in?
01:19:35Damn it.
01:19:38Well, there's only one reason you're here and not arresting Adeline right now.
01:19:43In fact, just...
01:19:44Damn it.
01:19:45Twice over.
01:19:47Harmony, what's going on?
01:19:49Do you want to tell him only?
01:19:51I'm not sure I have the heart to.
01:19:53I know it starts with the novel that Nora didn't like,
01:19:56and that you realized how serious that could be for your career.
01:20:02I admit, I, um...
01:20:04I 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 to delight, awards to win.
01:20:26Is this really true?
01:20:28Darling.
01:20:30Darling, you know how hard I worked on that book.
01:20:36When did you first think to frame Adeline?
01:20:39Was 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, it 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.
01:21:00And you may have the eureka moment, but you need to add the bones.
01:21:04The same bones that Josh provided you with.
01:21:07He's a sweet boy.
01:21:09He spilt wine all 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, lo and behold...
01:21:20You saw my name.
01:21:21I mean, I'd heard Adeline take your booking earlier and saw her get stupidly excited until
01:21:26she realized you weren't a 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, who you were, suddenly there it was.
01:21:40An ex-novel just staring me in the face.
01:21:43And not one I'd only write, but 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.
01:21:53While meticulously framing Adeline.
01:21:55Oh, she deserved it.
01:21:57It's an ignorant lowbrow.
01:21:58She thinks someone who posts ten second snippets online has more about them than an author
01:22:03who spends the best part of a year pulling literary magic out of thin air.
01:22:07And this novel meant that Maxwell had to die next.
01:22:14Why the museum?
01:22:15Well, I'll never go there.
01:22:16I didn't think it would connect back to me.
01:22:18So I borrowed Anselm's key and told Maxwell I needed his permission to publish my next novel.
01:22:26I said I'd pay him handsomely.
01:22:28Let's get to the chase. How much?
01:22:30I was thinking 10% of my advance.
01:22:33Make it 50.
01:22:34Okay.
01:22:36Alright.
01:22:41Oh?
01:23:00That one.
01:23:01That was for you, Anselm.
01:23:04Just think of all the misery he wrought upon you.
01:23:08I'd have lived with it.
01:23:10But you have been living with it, my darling.
01:23:13And 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 in order to point you in a different direction.
01:23:26Which had to be done because?
01:23:28Well, see, all along this was aimed at Adeline.
01:23:30It's just a horrid little soul who you would soon realize was the only person with a motive to discredit
01:23:37a clueless detective.
01:23:39At least I was right about the stupid detective, sir.
01:23:45Oh, my goodness. It was so dizzying and daring. I mean, I could barely sleep at night, you know, thinking
01:23:52of all the connotations and outcomes.
01:23:53Well, all the time knowing that the murder of Jerome would absolutely point straight to Adeline and the plan that
01:23:59she had supposedly cooked up with Clyde Southen.
01:24:02Poor Jerome. He 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. I mean, I knew he'd come running.
01:24:37Who'd have thought being married to a train enthusiast would come in so handy?
01:24:46A train enthusiast that I love with all my heart, by the way.
01:24:52And I, you, even know.
01:25:01What tipped you off? I swear, I'd covered all my bases. I 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. You even know the terminology.
01:25:20Adeline's name tag was too obvious, too, shall we say, cliched.
01:25:26Ouch.
01:25:26The coincidence of everyone being on board tracks at the right time, but also with the right motives.
01:25:34Then the lights go out. The murder happens in the dark.
01:25:36That's the work of someone who's not operating in the real world.
01:25:41Well, if you don't mind, I thought that was perfect.
01:25:43I spilled water over Maxwell.
01:25:45Get him to leave the table just at the right time, grab a rib and off we jolly well go.
01:25:50No.
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, right 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.
01:26:21Do 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 should write it. The Inspector Carnaby mystery.
01:26:32Carnaby?
01:26:33Well, it's just a working title. Early days yet.
01:26:36I have two words for you, Mrs. Hunter.
01:26:40The end.
01:26:53It's alright.
01:27:10Time to get yourself a new favourite author.
01:27:13So I'm a free woman then, I don't have to go on the run.
01:27:15Well, not unless someone decides to reopen the case.
01:27:18Don't joke about it.
01:27:20Clyde Sowden's still out there trying to prove you were wrong.
01:27:31Now, sir, I've been through pretty much every word of this and basically...
01:27:35Clyde Sowden was and still is guilty.
01:27:39His fingerprints at the murder scene prove that he was there no matter what the witness does or does not
01:27:44remember.
01:27:45It's not that I was doubting you, sir. I was just trying to...
01:27:48You were just trying to help a blindly bumbling, clueless idiot of a detective.
01:27:56Just remembered. I left that bottle of brandy at my flat.
01:28:02Ah, okay.
01:28:03Such again.
01:28:05Get it.
01:28:05Get it?
01:28:06Yeah.
01:28:08Yeah.
01:28:11Yeah.
01:28:12Yeah.
01:28:13Yeah.
01:28:23Yeah.
