00:00:00Absolute disgrace!
00:00:07See how he likes it when no one turns off?
00:00:11This will teach him.
00:00:18Hey, they've been at it all morning. It's killing my business.
00:00:21It's all I've seen. They're all over the village.
00:00:30Blue or grey?
00:00:32That's fairly good.
00:00:36Blue it is, then.
00:00:48Brad!
00:00:50Good girl.
00:00:51Thanks for coming.
00:00:53Did Brad rob a jewelers?
00:00:55I'd have stolen the crown jewels to get Frankie to say yes.
00:01:00What's with your parents?
00:01:02They can't even stretch to real champagne.
00:01:04Well, this is a step up for them.
00:01:06I was expecting tap water.
00:01:11Cordelia, hi.
00:01:12I'm not drinking this. It's not real champagne.
00:01:18I don't know what you're smiling about.
00:01:20The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:23Fear not, my dear. Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:27What's that mean?
00:01:28Oh, what have you done now?
00:01:30There's nothing else.
00:01:31No, unfortunately not.
00:01:36Oh, they're beautiful.
00:01:38Thank you, Kim and E.
00:01:40I was hoping you might hire me to do the flowers on your big day.
00:01:44Oh, I...
00:01:45Yeah, we're not really making any clear cut decisions yet.
00:01:49It's good to see you.
00:01:50I'm all right.
00:01:51I think I'm getting a cold.
00:01:52I might be over the moon for Frankie.
00:01:56This is me being over the moon.
00:01:58Who the hell is that?
00:01:59Yes!
00:02:00It's amazing, isn't it?
00:02:01My mum used to tell me about this place.
00:02:02Why have you stopped?
00:02:03Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:04Yes.
00:02:05You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:06I can't do this on my own.
00:02:07You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:08Not me.
00:02:09Come on, guys.
00:02:10Come on, guys.
00:02:15Why have you stopped?
00:02:18Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:20Yes, you've got to come and say hello.
00:02:22I can't do this on my own.
00:02:24You're the one who couldn't wait to come here, not me.
00:02:27Come on, guys!
00:02:46Noah, I presume.
00:02:48How shall we handle this?
00:02:50Like Livingston and Stanley?
00:02:52It's a bigger moment than that.
00:02:58Girls, I want you to meet your uncle.
00:03:00We don't have an uncle.
00:03:02What on earth is going on?
00:03:04Myrtle, this is my half-brother Noah,
00:03:06and suffice to say, until recently,
00:03:08neither of us knew the other existed.
00:03:10Hi.
00:03:11Well, it's great to meet you all.
00:03:15I didn't want to turn up empty-handed.
00:03:21Oh, that's...
00:03:23That's lovely.
00:03:30Time starts now, as they say.
00:03:35Oh, yes.
00:03:41Oh!
00:03:45Cuckoo!
00:03:46Wow.
00:03:49Come on, everyone.
00:03:50Let's get a photo of you all by the clock.
00:03:53Well, it's a big moment!
00:03:56Old family, new family, family of the future.
00:04:00I'm not family.
00:04:01Just smile and say cheese.
00:04:06Cuckoo!
00:04:07Love.
00:04:10Hang on.
00:04:11We need the happy couple in the middle.
00:04:13Oh, yeah.
00:04:14Come on.
00:04:15Am I gonna get my share?
00:04:16You have your reward for marrying my daughter.
00:04:18That's not what we...
00:04:19Agreed, Alan.
00:04:20It's so, Alan, to you.
00:04:24Oh, very nice.
00:04:26That's it.
00:04:27Well done, everyone!
00:04:52Oh
00:05:22Oh
00:05:52I thought I was going to build this
00:05:58Yeah, you did think that
00:06:00And then I decided it needs doing properly
00:06:03As you are well aware
00:06:05My grandfather was a master carpenter
00:06:07And as a carpenter
00:06:09You make a brilliant detective
00:06:11Oh, Winter
00:06:15Sir
00:06:15What are you building?
00:06:18Well, if I do it, it's going to be an arbor
00:06:19And if John does it
00:06:21Presumably there's a reason you're here this early
00:06:22Thank you
00:06:43Ah, I thought it'd be this place
00:06:45I almost came here last year
00:06:47They have an annual flower festival
00:06:49I didn't know you were into horticulture, Winter
00:06:51I'm not, but this girl I was seeing was
00:06:53And when you say you almost came here
00:06:55Well, when she took one look at my house plants
00:06:57She decided that I wasn't the one for her
00:06:59Apparently I put the wrong perennials next to each other in the same pot
00:07:02Small margins, Winter
00:07:03Well, how am I supposed to know that some plants don't get on?
00:07:09Looks like more police are arriving
00:07:11Do you think I should go up there?
00:07:18Then do what?
00:07:19I don't actually know
00:07:20Oh, I mean
00:07:21How do brothers brother?
00:07:30There
00:07:30Where did you get to last night?
00:07:41I woke up and you weren't there
00:07:42I, uh, I had a nightmare
00:07:43I took a walk to calm down
00:07:45Look, if your brother needs you
00:07:51He will tell you
00:07:53Hello
00:07:59Here's a new one for you
00:08:02The poor fellow was pecked to death
00:08:06Pecked?
00:08:07I didn't realize it was the murder weapon
00:08:10Till it struck the hour and stabbed one of my sockers
00:08:13He's lucky he's tall
00:08:15Well, taller than the victim
00:08:17Watch this
00:08:18Um, better stand back first
00:08:22Further
00:08:24Well, I've seen everything now
00:08:36The victim's name was Brad Furbank
00:08:40Aged 29
00:08:42Time of death?
00:08:43Judging from his lividity and rigor
00:08:45I'd say he'd been dead at least five hours
00:08:48Well, that will put it about three o'clock this morning
00:08:50Who found him?
00:08:51The lady of the house
00:08:52Myrtle Bruce
00:08:54And she lives here with her husband, Sir Alan
00:08:56Where was the clock hanging?
00:08:58It was level with that ghoulish portrait
00:09:02The cuckoo stabbed Brad and he came tumbling down the stairs
00:09:05Well, it seems they were right all along
00:09:09Time is indeed the enemy
00:09:11I couldn't believe it
00:09:17Brad was just lying at the foot of the stairs
00:09:20What time was this?
00:09:22Probably about seven
00:09:24You hadn't heard anything before that?
00:09:26Say around three this morning?
00:09:28I had a bit too much to drink last night
00:09:31So I was out like a light
00:09:34Don't look at me
00:09:38I tend to sleep the sleep of the just
00:09:40Quiet
00:09:42Tell me about Brad
00:09:45Presumably he lived here with you
00:09:47Oh, goodness, no
00:09:48He's been staying at the Raging Stag
00:09:50It's a pub in the village
00:09:51Would either of you know why he came here in the middle of the night?
00:09:55I hadn't a clue what Brad was doing here
00:10:01Presumably he was coming to see you
00:10:03But he knew I was out last night with my friends
00:10:06Carrying on the celebrations
00:10:07So it was our engagement party yesterday
00:10:12It's all right, I'm here
00:10:14When did you get back to Godly Manor?
00:10:17I didn't
00:10:18My friends and I crashed at Cordelia's flat
00:10:20I can't believe this
00:10:22I'm sorry, I just have a few more questions
00:10:25When did you last see Brad?
00:10:29Yesterday evening
00:10:30Before I left with my friends
00:10:32That was around nine, I think
00:10:35And did anything untoward happen before then?
00:10:37Does the arrival of an uncle we never knew he had qualify?
00:10:41The clock was a gift
00:10:43From a brother-in-law I didn't know I had
00:10:46It's a long story
00:10:47I'd still like to hear it
00:10:49Well, my father, Sir Percival Bruce
00:10:52Sired Noah out of wedlock
00:10:55Noah?
00:10:55Noah Connoboy
00:10:56Now, I had no idea he existed
00:10:58Until the family solicitor
00:11:00Told me at my father's funeral
00:11:02Was this recently?
00:11:03Uh, about six weeks ago
00:11:06So I asked Brad to search for him
00:11:09He's very good at the internet
00:11:10Well, was
00:11:12So Noah turned up with the clock?
00:11:16Yes, he said that he'd made it
00:11:17Especially for the occasion
00:11:18Shall I save you some time?
00:11:21The only reason Noah's here
00:11:23Is to claim his share
00:11:24Oh, so you think Sir Alan was the intended target?
00:11:27A child of five could tell you that
00:11:29So, off you trot and go and arrest Noah
00:11:32He'll be outside, contaminating our grounds
00:11:35What my darling wife means
00:11:37Is that Noah's arrived with his troop
00:11:39They put on oldie-worldie woodworking festivals
00:11:43Very popular, apparently
00:11:44Brings people from far and wide
00:11:46So we don't need some limp flower festival
00:11:49When we can replace it
00:11:50With something much more popular
00:11:52Did Brad work in the village?
00:11:57He could work anywhere
00:11:58He was in Bitcoin
00:12:00He was doing really well
00:12:01Always on his phone
00:12:02Checking the markets
00:12:03So you didn't have an argument
00:12:05With someone in godly buzzards, hey?
00:12:07Brad, never
00:12:08He was really popular
00:12:10My sister can vouch for that
00:12:11He was lovely
00:12:12Never seen Frankie as happy
00:12:14Thank you
00:12:17You know, I nearly came to the flower festival last year
00:12:22Would have been a waste of time
00:12:23It was rained off
00:12:25Worst thunderstorm in decades
00:12:26Destroyed all the flower beds
00:12:28It was an absolute disaster
00:12:29Well, hopefully it'll be different this year
00:12:32No chance
00:12:33The village have boycotted it
00:12:35Our magnanimous father decided to charge double this year
00:12:38Which made a lot of people very angry
00:12:41We're looking for a Noah Connor boy
00:13:02That will be me
00:13:04Oh, I saw you earlier
00:13:06But you were, um, a bit taller
00:13:08Oh, yeah
00:13:10Yeah, no, I get that a lot
00:13:11Sorry, I'm Nessie
00:13:16Nessie Copeland
00:13:17What's happening up at the house?
00:13:20I'm afraid we have reason to believe
00:13:22That, um, Brad Furbank was murdered last night
00:13:24Murdered?
00:13:27Are you serious?
00:13:28That's awful
00:13:29And what can you tell us about the cuckoo clock?
00:13:34It tells the time
00:13:35What else is there to say?
00:13:37Did you build it yourself?
00:13:39I craft everything myself
00:13:40Sorry, why are you asking about a cuckoo clock?
00:13:44Its spring had been tightened to a murderous degree
00:13:47A sharp piece of metal had been attached to the cuckoo's beak
00:13:51The second it chimed
00:13:52It sprang out
00:13:53And I'm sure you can work out the rest
00:13:55Everyone saw the clock yesterday
00:13:59There wasn't anything attached to the beak
00:14:01Um, there was a woman taking photos
00:14:05That'll prove it
00:14:06Uh, I think she was called Kimony
00:14:08Runs the flower shop in the village
00:14:10This has nothing to do with Noah
00:14:12Did either of you notice anything, um, off at the engagement party?
00:14:18I-I wasn't there
00:14:19I was here with the others setting up
00:14:21There's a lot to do
00:14:22Alan wants me to put on a festival
00:14:24He couldn't get me here quick enough
00:14:26Did you know your father owned all of this?
00:14:28I was born in the village
00:14:30It wasn't long before my mother upped sticks
00:14:33But she often told me about this place
00:14:36Is that your way of saying that you did know?
00:14:39When you put it like that, I guess it is
00:14:44Well, sir, Noah could have been trying to kill Sir Alan
00:14:51Because there's obviously something to gain
00:14:52I can see it now
00:14:53He-he sneaks back up to the house
00:14:54Rigs the clock
00:14:55And then potentially inherits the lot
00:14:57But how would he know Sir Alan was going to get so close to it
00:15:00And at the exact time?
00:15:04Fleur
00:15:04It's called a dibbler
00:15:06Say that again?
00:15:07And gardeners use it to make holes in the ground
00:15:09Oh, thanks as ever, Fleur
00:15:10I'm still talking
00:15:12The so-called emeralds in its eyes are paste
00:15:15And the beak is gold plate
00:15:17It may look a million dollars
00:15:19But it's worth less than a real cooker
00:15:20Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak is called a dibbler
00:15:28And what's a dibbler when it's home?
00:15:30If you'd bothered looking after your houseplants, Winter
00:15:32You would know that a dibbler is a tool that gardeners use
00:15:36And now murderers, apparently
00:15:39Sorry, mate
00:15:46We don't need the extra kegs
00:15:48Blame the village for boycotting the flower festival
00:15:51I'm not going to shift a tenth of what I normally do this time of year
00:15:54Sorry, pal
00:15:55Mr. Solanke
00:16:01Were you aware that Brad had gone up to Godly Manor in the early hours of this morning?
00:16:14Did he?
00:16:15I didn't know
00:16:16When was the last time you saw him?
00:16:18Last night, just before I locked up
00:16:20Did you notice anything unusual at the engagement party?
00:16:24Not really, no
00:16:25Well, not unless you count that moment with Kimony
00:16:28Kimony?
00:16:30Kimony Bullitt
00:16:31Brad told her not to do the flowers for the wedding
00:16:34And she seemed quite annoyed, but not murderously so
00:16:38And did you see the clock being hung on the wall?
00:16:41Everyone saw it
00:16:42It was a work of art
00:16:43Wish I had skills like that
00:16:45I can barely put up a shelf
00:16:47She'd have listened to her mother and done her corset
00:16:48Thank you, Mr. Solanke
00:16:50My team will obviously need access to Brad's room
00:16:53Why he wasn't killed here?
00:16:57We need to go through Brad's things
00:16:59We'll still locate his phone for one thing
00:17:01I see
00:17:02Problem?
00:17:04No, no
00:17:04Not at all
00:17:18Well, there must have been a sail on at the mirror shop
00:17:25Well, we've got a charger
00:17:28But still no sign of a phone
00:17:31Sounds to me like someone doesn't want it to be found
00:17:34Dr. Perkins?
00:17:37Hay fever
00:17:37I know the feeling
00:17:38There you are
00:17:39Within five yards of a mustard plant
00:17:41Diamond?
00:17:44Not real this time
00:17:45That's probably Frankie's
00:17:47Brad liked to splash out on her
00:17:49Please remove yourself, Mr. Solanke
00:17:52I've never seen anything like this
00:17:55Well, not for real
00:17:56As my mum wanted me to do a course in forensics
00:17:59Will you be done soon?
00:18:07I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mrs. Solanke
00:18:10Fleur?
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:11Fleur?
00:18:15Fleur?
00:18:16Fleur?
00:18:17Fleur?
00:18:18Fleur?
00:18:19Fleur?
00:18:20Fleur?
00:18:21Fleur?
00:18:22Fleur?
00:18:23Fleur?
00:18:24Fleur?
00:18:25Fleur?
00:18:26Fleur?
00:18:27Fleur?
00:18:28Fleur?
00:18:29Fleur?
00:18:30Fleur?
00:18:31Fleur?
00:18:32Fleur?
00:18:33Fleur?
00:18:34Fleur?
00:18:35Fleur?
00:18:36Fleur?
00:18:37Fleur?
00:18:38Fleur?
00:18:39Fleur?
00:18:40Fleur?
00:18:41Fleur?
00:18:42Fleur?
00:18:43Fleur?
00:18:44Fleur?
00:18:45Oh, my God.
00:19:15What are you doing, Kimini? It's me.
00:19:18Being you doesn't exonerate you, Sylvia.
00:19:20Brad's just been murdered, for goodness sake. Surely you can be a bit lenient. I'm in shock.
00:19:24Then you shouldn't be out driving in the first place.
00:19:27This isn't just a speeding offence. It's a whole lot more than that.
00:19:31And you know it.
00:19:35Is this you for the rest of your life now? Punishing drivers day and night?
00:19:45I'm closed for the day.
00:19:56Kimini bullet, I take it.
00:19:58The boycott of the flower festival can't be helping business.
00:20:09The village are furious with Sir Alan.
00:20:12He tried to turn a quaint tradition into a corporate cash grab.
00:20:16I heard he doubled the entrance fee.
00:20:17Almost tripled it, if you include having to pay for parking.
00:20:20Oh, which reminds me, I need to make a note of Sylvia's speeding offence.
00:20:25I send them in every Monday, first thing.
00:20:30Noah Connoboy said you took some photos that included the cuckoo clock.
00:20:35Uh, well, I'll need you to email that to me.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:51Usually this time of year there's a queue all the way from the green to get in here.
00:20:55You can't have been happy with Sir Alan.
00:20:57That's an understatement.
00:20:58Yet still you went to the engagement party.
00:21:03Myrtle and I have been friends for decades.
00:21:05I could hardly let it down on Frankie's big day.
00:21:15Have you sold any of these lately?
00:21:18Who needs a dibbler when there's no flower festival?
00:21:21Thanks to Sir Alan, I couldn't give them away right now.
00:21:35I know a very good jeweller if you want to sell that ring.
00:21:41How could you be so thoughtless?
00:21:43There's no need to bite my head off.
00:21:45We're all trying to process what happened.
00:21:47It's not just you, Frankie.
00:21:49It's a big loss for us as well.
00:21:51This is my pain.
00:21:52It's not yours.
00:21:54Don't you dare try and hijack it.
00:21:55Look, why don't we try to concentrate on the positives?
00:21:58We've got this wonderful festival of wood, thanks to Noah,
00:22:01and we'll have tons of people streaming in,
00:22:03and that's mainly down to Brad.
00:22:05God rest his soul.
00:22:06Oh, my word, these people.
00:22:08No one's going to pay to see a freak show.
00:22:10Au contraire, my dear.
00:22:11It'll be the height of popularity.
00:22:13We were in the middle of talking.
00:22:15I'm sorry, dear.
00:22:15I thought you'd said your piece.
00:22:18Why did it have to be Brad that got killed
00:22:22and not one of you?
00:22:23Come on.
00:22:25Oh, hello again.
00:22:48How can I help?
00:22:49I do flowers for all occasions.
00:22:52A good thing, too.
00:22:53Now we've got a funeral coming up.
00:22:55Oh, God.
00:22:56I didn't think.
00:22:58Don't worry.
00:22:58It's easy.
00:22:59I'm not here about flowers.
00:23:01A little birdie told me
00:23:02you're the head of the village council.
00:23:05Someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:23:06Perfect.
00:23:08Because I need to know about the grounds at Godly Manor.
00:23:11Only we were due to put on a festival of wood
00:23:13at Badger's Drift a few weeks back,
00:23:15but the village voted against it,
00:23:17even though we were holding our event on private land.
00:23:20Well, there are a few archaic laws floating around.
00:23:24Alan got me here so quickly,
00:23:26I didn't have a chance to check.
00:23:28You're putting on a festival at the manor?
00:23:31He said it was to replace a flower day or something.
00:23:35I see.
00:23:37He thinks it could become a permanent thing
00:23:39if it goes well, which it always does.
00:23:42Noah?
00:23:43Sweetheart.
00:23:45Can we get back now?
00:23:46Yes, yes.
00:23:48Be an angel and find out about those bylaws.
00:23:50Sure.
00:23:57Call me back when you get this.
00:24:00I'm not 100%,
00:24:01but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:24:03Come on.
00:24:05I'm getting bad vibes about this place.
00:24:16I think we should pack up and go.
00:24:18And leave my brother at his lowest ebb.
00:24:21You know why you're really here.
00:24:24He's using you.
00:24:26His flower festival isn't happening
00:24:27and he needed something to take its place.
00:24:29I wasn't born yesterday, Des.
00:24:31You're happy to be you?
00:24:34Credit me with some brains.
00:24:36I want something out of this as well.
00:24:37Look around.
00:24:40I'm owed half of this.
00:24:42Noah, you promised me.
00:24:43You said it would be two or three days at the most.
00:24:46That was before we got here.
00:24:48Well, I'm not staying here a second longer than I have to.
00:24:50What's got into you?
00:24:52There's someone who grew up around here.
00:24:53I thought he'd enjoy being back.
00:24:56I hate it here.
00:24:58What?
00:24:59Why would you say that?
00:25:00After this weekend, we are leaving.
00:25:03We are never coming back.
00:25:05I mean it, Noah.
00:25:22I'll be back when you get this.
00:25:24I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:27Kimmy, I just got your message.
00:25:38Oh, my God.
00:25:40Are you sure it's her?
00:25:43I can't.
00:25:43I just can't.
00:25:46Not while there's breath in my body.
00:25:47You're not working today.
00:25:55I blame Winter for running late.
00:25:58Did you know he got dumped last year because he planted some flowers the wrong way?
00:26:01Well, it's the little things in life, John.
00:26:03You've got to get them just right.
00:26:05But don't worry.
00:26:05You're getting there.
00:26:07So, what do you think so far would Grandad approve?
00:26:10If you don't mind me saying, it looks a bit lopsided.
00:26:11Very funny.
00:26:16Oh, I see where you've been going wrong.
00:26:18Here, look.
00:26:18You've had this upside down.
00:26:20You tear that and you're in big trouble.
00:26:25Oh, Penny!
00:26:25Penny!
00:26:26Oh, Penny!
00:26:27Ow!
00:26:29It's all right.
00:26:30I can try it off.
00:26:32Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:26:35Did I mention Carpentry's in my jeans?
00:26:38I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:26:46Tell me what's wrong with this picture, Winter.
00:26:50Cuckoo's the only one that's smiling.
00:26:53Look at the clock.
00:26:55It's not level with the top of the painting.
00:26:57Fleur said it was level with Sir Alan's portrait,
00:27:00but here it's at least four inches lower.
00:27:02So someone moved it.
00:27:04Look who is level with the portrait.
00:27:06Brad.
00:27:07Which most likely means he was the intended target, after all.
00:27:12Well, talking of Brad, sir, here's a strange one.
00:27:14Tech managed to get into his laptop,
00:27:16but as far as they could tell,
00:27:17he wasn't doing anything in Bitcoin.
00:27:19Truth is, he barely had a penny to his name.
00:27:22Then how did he pay for Frankie's engagement rate?
00:27:24Well, there's no sign of it in his accounts
00:27:25or credit card statements.
00:27:27Also, we heard back from his mobile phone provider,
00:27:29and they confirmed that his phone was switched off
00:27:31at the time of the murder.
00:27:32Presumably, they sent over a record of his recent calls and texts.
00:27:36Yeah, nothing unusual out of the ordinary.
00:27:41Also, sir, there is this.
00:27:44This was found under Brad's bed at the pub.
00:27:46Now, I presume that it belongs to Frankie,
00:27:48but I think it's worth checking.
00:27:49Did anything come back on Kim and E. Bullitt?
00:27:56Ah, yes.
00:27:57I found out that her husband was killed in a hit-and-run a year ago,
00:28:01and the driver was never traced.
00:28:03Well, that explains the speed gun
00:28:04and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:28:06Intriguingly, the hit-and-run happened on the same day
00:28:09that the flower festival was rained off.
00:28:12And almost exactly a year to the day,
00:28:15Brad Furbank is pecked to death,
00:28:17as Fleur so eloquently put it.
00:28:20If he didn't know that the emeralds and gold were fake,
00:28:23imagine what seeing them might mean to him,
00:28:26someone who's not only penniless,
00:28:27but also a proven liar.
00:28:30You mean he went there to steal it?
00:28:33Why else would he be there at three in the morning?
00:28:35So someone booby-trapped the bird
00:28:37and then re-hung the clock,
00:28:38knowing that he would come for it?
00:28:40That's exactly what they did, Winter.
00:28:45I'll speak to Frankie.
00:28:47You talk to her sister, Sylvia.
00:28:49I want to find out what they did
00:28:51or didn't know about Brad.
00:28:54And while you're at it, I need a book.
00:28:58A book?
00:28:58On woodwork.
00:29:04My sweetheart, come along
00:29:07Don't you hear the fond song
00:29:09The sweet note of the nightingale fro
00:29:13Don't you hear the fond tale
00:29:16Of the sweet nightingale
00:29:19As she sings in those valleys below
00:29:22Oh, sorry, we don't open until tomorrow.
00:29:35I'm not a visitor.
00:29:36All the same.
00:29:38I'm Frankie.
00:29:38Oh, I mean Francesca, Bruce
00:29:42Myrtle and Alan's daughter
00:29:44Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your fiancé
00:29:49Oh, thank you
00:29:52That actually means more than you realise
00:29:54I'm Nessie
00:29:56Noah's partner, were you looking for him?
00:29:58No
00:29:59I just needed to go on a wander
00:30:00How long will you be here for?
00:30:07Oh, hopefully just for the weekend
00:30:09If I can convince Noah
00:30:11Well, he wants to stay longer
00:30:13He thinks he can make a permanent home here
00:30:15Has he told my father that?
00:30:18Doesn't matter if he has
00:30:19I'm going to convince him to up sticks
00:30:21Couldn't hit me with you
00:30:23Could you?
00:30:24That was a joke
00:30:25Well, sort of
00:30:26Frankie, if you want to get away
00:30:29Then do it
00:30:30I did the same myself
00:30:32Years ago
00:30:33Left godly buzzard
00:30:34And never looked back
00:30:36And now you're the singing stilts lady
00:30:38And I can see for miles and miles
00:30:41To the horizon and beyond
00:30:42I'd love to try that one day
00:30:46Lise
00:30:49Let's see if you've got a head for heights
00:30:54You're right, you can see everything
00:31:11Frankie
00:31:15You have a moment
00:31:17Do me a very large favour, Sylvia
00:31:24Slap these up everywhere
00:31:27I'm working
00:31:28Yes, but you also have a civil duty
00:31:30To assist any knight of the realm
00:31:32Whenever he should so request
00:31:33For God's sake, Dad
00:31:34You're not a sir
00:31:35Grandad was the sir
00:31:37You don't inherit that title
00:31:38You have to have it bestowed
00:31:39Yes, well, I was a DIY bestowment
00:31:41Really shot my bloody ear off, actually
00:31:44Ah, have you found the culprit?
00:31:46The investigation's still ongoing
00:31:47Well, chop, chop
00:31:48Because the wonderful Noah's Bar
00:31:50Is opening tomorrow morning
00:31:5110 a.m. sharp
00:31:53More questions?
00:31:58Yes
00:31:58Do you mind if I step inside?
00:32:04Miss Bruce
00:32:05Can you start by telling me what you really thought of Brad?
00:32:09I already made that clear
00:32:10I liked him
00:32:12I liked him
00:32:12A lot
00:32:13Presumably you didn't know that he was a conman and a thief
00:32:15I'm sorry, he was what?
00:32:18We found antihistamine in Brad's room at the pub
00:32:21It's for hay fever
00:32:23What sort on earth was he doing showing up at a flower festival?
00:32:25And that makes him a thief
00:32:28Well, there's a good chance that he was casing the house with the intention of robbing it later
00:32:32It's a well-known ploy
00:32:33Stately homes throw open their doors
00:32:35But they never truly know who they're inviting inside
00:32:37Brad did nothing of the sort
00:32:38All he did was meet my sister and fall madly in love
00:32:41Or he realised that there was more to gain from seducing Frankie and marrying into the family
00:32:46Please stop
00:32:48This is awful
00:32:49I've never seen it before
00:32:53Where did you find it?
00:32:56It was in Brad's room at the pub
00:32:58This earring
00:33:04It doesn't mean he was
00:33:07No, Brad wouldn't do that to me
00:33:10How did you meet?
00:33:16It was on the eve of last year's War of the Roses festival
00:33:20We had a private preview
00:33:22We ended up talking, so I took him on a tour of the house
00:33:25He asked to see inside?
00:33:27He seemed really keen
00:33:28I got the impression he liked me
00:33:31How much did you know about his Bitcoin business?
00:33:36Only what he told me, but he was doing great
00:33:38I'm afraid he was lying to you, Frankie
00:33:40He didn't have a penny to his name
00:33:43Of course he did
00:33:44Have you seen this ring?
00:33:46Why would he say that?
00:33:47He was overdrawn and owed money everywhere
00:33:49No, he was always splashing out on me
00:33:51You need to get your facts straight
00:33:54Please don't let this be true
00:34:04It's been hard enough
00:34:07Trying to convince my parents I'm worthy of their love
00:34:09And now this
00:34:12Is that all you wanted?
00:34:17Only my father's given me a job to do
00:34:19Were you around when Kimini's husband was killed in the hit and run?
00:34:23What's that got to do with what happened to Brad?
00:34:25Well, we're aware that he showed up at Godly Manor
00:34:27The same day that it happened
00:34:28I remember spotting him with Frankie and wondering who he was
00:34:32But I didn't give it another thought
00:34:34Not till she introduced him a few weeks later
00:34:36I need to get on
00:34:38Oh, and I need a book
00:34:40On woodwork
00:34:43Do you have children?
00:34:54Chief Inspector
00:34:55A daughter
00:34:57And you love her, right?
00:35:01You love her with every fibre of your being
00:35:04Well, can you imagine what it's like when the opposite is true?
00:35:09Can you imagine what that would be like for your daughter?
00:35:15I can't see myself being anything other than in awe of her
00:35:19That's because you didn't bring her into this world for all the wrong reasons
00:35:26I had a brother, Chief Inspector
00:35:30Francis
00:35:32Well, what I mean when I say I had a brother is
00:35:35He died when he was just over a year old
00:35:38And I was conceived shortly afterwards
00:35:41But solely in the hope that my parents could somehow recreate him
00:35:47Myrtle, it was so long ago
00:35:52I was probably seeing things
00:35:55Don't backtrack now
00:35:58Something made you think you saw Aggie Marlowe
00:36:00Now, what was it?
00:36:02It was the way she wouldn't look at me
00:36:04Like she didn't want to be recognised
00:36:06Perhaps you could have her arrested this time around
00:36:10What are you talking about?
00:36:12The police said Francis' death was due to natural causes
00:36:16There's no arrest happening here
00:36:17No, sometimes you have to take things into your own hands
00:36:21You don't mean that, do you?
00:36:26Mattel?
00:36:27You're scaring me
00:36:31Apparently my parents were out at an afternoon due with my grandfather
00:36:38And when my mother came back
00:36:40She found Francis dead on the floor
00:36:42He'd fallen out of his cot
00:36:44They'd left him on his own?
00:36:45No, they had a babysitter
00:36:46Aggie Marlowe
00:36:48But she vanished into thin air
00:36:50Sylvia said it broke my parents in half
00:36:52Until one of them had the desperately sad idea
00:36:55Of making another Francis
00:36:57Hence my name
00:37:00So they went ahead
00:37:03And sadly for them
00:37:05I emerged
00:37:07And that is when they realised that they couldn't get Francis back
00:37:10But worse
00:37:12Because they were saddled with someone every day
00:37:15Who reminds them that I'm not their precious son
00:37:19I'm sorry
00:37:24I'm sorry
00:38:25There, best I could do, sir.
00:38:27Is it for Mrs. B?
00:38:28Thank you, Winter.
00:38:30Yes, Sarah's struggling a bit with the arbor.
00:38:32She even managed to injure her thumb.
00:38:36Well, I'm sure she'd be glad of this.
00:38:38So, could Frankie recognise the earring?
00:38:41In a word, no.
00:38:44Oh, well, that puts a cat among the pigeons.
00:38:47Brad must have been seeing someone else.
00:38:48Yes, Winter.
00:38:52Okay.
00:38:54Yeah, thanks.
00:38:56Sir, we've had an anonymous call for withheld numbers.
00:39:00A woman saying that she's very worried about an Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
00:39:05We don't know an Aggie Marlowe, do we?
00:39:08I think we do, Winter.
00:39:10The Aggie is short for Agnes, which can also be shortened to Nessie.
00:39:15Perhaps you should go and have a chat with her.
00:39:17I think she's very worried about an Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
00:39:47Who the hell are you?
00:39:48What are you doing in here?
00:39:50You don't remember.
00:39:54You couldn't keep your hands off me the last time we met.
00:39:58Aggie!
00:40:01This is Frances' room.
00:40:02How dare you!
00:40:04I was looking all over for you, Myrtle.
00:40:07And then I saw Frances' name on the door.
00:40:10And I couldn't help myself.
00:40:12If Myrtle were here, God knows what she would do to you.
00:40:15She's who I came here to see.
00:40:17I'm going to tell her what really happened that day.
00:40:22Noah is dead set on staying here.
00:40:23And the only way I get to stay here with him is if Myrtle and everyone else knows you are the reason why Frances died.
00:40:30As if anyone's going to believe you.
00:40:32And do you know what the best thing is?
00:40:34You brought Noah back here.
00:40:36Which means you brought me back here too.
00:40:39Everything comes home to roost eventually.
00:40:41That's enough!
00:40:41I'm not having this!
00:40:42Oh!
00:40:43Ah!
00:41:12You've joined a library.
00:41:35Oh, Winter borrowed it.
00:41:38He said he thought you might need it.
00:41:40That's so nice of him.
00:41:41I thought we could look through it together.
00:41:44Hmm.
00:41:45Why would we need to do that?
00:41:47When you've got the blood of a master carpenter running through you.
00:41:50You don't need this.
00:41:51Not when it comes so naturally to you.
00:41:54Try not to get any splinters.
00:42:04Winter.
00:42:05Impeccable timing.
00:42:07You found Nessie, what did she say?
00:42:10I'll be right there.
00:42:11A little bird tells me, not a cuckoo this time, you were looking for Agnes Marlow.
00:42:20The good news is you found her.
00:42:21But the bad news is someone else found her first.
00:42:23Talk us through it, Fleur.
00:42:24Talk us through it, Fleur.
00:42:25Talk us through it, Fleur.
00:42:26Judging from the angle of the attack, I'd say she was approached from behind and the billhook did the rest.
00:42:34The what?
00:42:35The billhook, Winter.
00:42:36The billhook, Winter.
00:42:37It's a highly versatile cutting tool.
00:42:38My grandfather had one.
00:42:39Same sort of tool you might find in Noah's bark.
00:42:40You look 10% more handsome when you say something intelligent.
00:42:43I'll have to set you brain teasers up the percentage.
00:42:44Time of death, Fleur.
00:42:45I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:42:46And the killer just left the weapon lying around.
00:42:47Oh, it was stuffed behind that fallen log over there.
00:42:48Well, let's start with you, Fleur.
00:42:49I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:42:50And the killer just left the weapon lying around.
00:42:52It was stuffed behind the fallen log over there.
00:42:54Oh, let's start with Noah.
00:42:55Before you loaf off, she was carrying this.
00:42:57But I wouldn't get too excited.
00:42:58I don't think it's the case.
00:42:59You look 10% more handsome when you say something intelligent.
00:43:03You look down 21.
00:43:04You look too confident in your brain teasers.
00:43:05It's not the best.
00:43:07When you look 10% more handsome when you say something intelligent.
00:43:08I'd have to set you brain teasers up the percentage.
00:43:12Time of death, Fleur?
00:43:13I'd put it somewhere yesterday evening.
00:43:15And the killer just left the weapon lying around.
00:43:16It was stuffed behind that fallen log over there.
00:43:19Well, let's start with Noah.
00:43:21I don't think he's the killer.
00:43:27What the hell?
00:43:29They're not letting the public in.
00:43:31Well, what did you expect?
00:43:33Aggie Marlow was murdered last night.
00:43:35Yes, that person was a blight on our family.
00:43:38Yes, and of course, we know who brought her here, don't we?
00:43:41Now, Noah couldn't have possibly known who she was.
00:43:43How do we know that?
00:43:45I don't trust a thing about him.
00:43:47Ever since he arrived, terrible things have happened.
00:43:49Is it really that terrible that Aggie's dead?
00:43:50You know full well what I mean.
00:43:53I want him gone, Alan.
00:44:00Leslie and I were together for years.
00:44:04I saw her at a folk festival.
00:44:09She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever set eyes on.
00:44:13We started chatting and realized we'd both lived in Godly Buzz at once.
00:44:17From that point on, we never left each other's side.
00:44:23Ended up creating all this.
00:44:26Did you know that Nessie had changed her name from Aggie?
00:44:30Aggie?
00:44:31No.
00:44:33She was always Nessie to me.
00:44:35Well, she never mentioned that she used to babysit for the Bruises.
00:44:37She never said a word.
00:44:42How did she react after Brad found you?
00:44:47To be honest, she didn't want me to come here.
00:44:51When we pitched up, she got pretty nervy.
00:44:55Even had a nightmare the first night we stayed here.
00:44:57Had to get up and go for a wonder.
00:44:58Nessie said she never went up to the house,
00:45:02but did she encounter any of the Bruises other than Frankie?
00:45:06Not that I know of.
00:45:08Can you tell us where you were yesterday evening, Mr. Connaboy?
00:45:16Don't even go there.
00:45:20Nessie was the love of my life.
00:45:24Mr. Connaboy.
00:45:25I was at the pub with Angel.
00:45:33We just finished setting up and deserved a pint or two.
00:45:36Did you say Angel?
00:45:39The Axeman.
00:45:40He looks ferocious, but underneath he's a kitten.
00:45:43We believe that a tool from your troop
00:45:46was used in the attack on Nessie.
00:45:48A, um, a billhook.
00:45:52Is there one missing?
00:45:53I'd have to ask you around.
00:45:57Anyone could come in and take anything.
00:46:00It's not like we'd lock anything away.
00:46:02It's not like we'd lock anything away.
00:46:23Saj, what are you doing?
00:46:31Waiting for you to join me.
00:46:33Here.
00:46:37I don't understand.
00:46:39I want to make a toast to Brad.
00:46:41He lived there for a year, and I'm going to miss him.
00:46:43Saj, you may as well know, the police are saying he was a con man.
00:46:48No way.
00:46:49A con man?
00:46:50Did you know?
00:46:51Or ever get a sense of it?
00:46:54Like you said, he was here a whole year.
00:46:55Me?
00:46:56Nah.
00:46:57Poor Frankie.
00:46:58Are you sure you didn't know?
00:47:02Are you sure you didn't?
00:47:03What does that mean?
00:47:04I don't know.
00:47:06I always thought you had a bit of a thing for him.
00:47:08A thing?
00:47:09What thing?
00:47:10Why would you say that?
00:47:11Well, you're always so keen on him, always bigging him up.
00:47:14Well, says he's number one fan.
00:47:16That wasn't me.
00:47:17No way.
00:47:18You've fawned all over him.
00:47:19In fact, you changed personality whenever he was around.
00:47:22Aye, well, maybe it's a good thing he's not around anymore, eh?
00:47:30Lucas, this is crazy.
00:47:33None of this matters now.
00:47:34He's gone.
00:47:37I'm sorry.
00:47:39I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:47:42Same.
00:47:44Normal service has resumed.
00:47:48Let's make a different toast, hmm?
00:47:52Hmm?
00:47:55Out with the bad and all that.
00:47:57Ah!
00:47:58Out with the brad, more like.
00:48:04What was Nessie doing out here on her own?
00:48:06Maybe she was meeting someone.
00:48:08What, with a teddy bear?
00:48:10I'll get tech to check out her phone calls and texts.
00:48:14Also, have them chase up the anonymous tip about Aggie Marlow being back in the village.
00:48:21She was killed almost immediately afterwards, so whoever called us was really worried.
00:48:26You think one of the bruises found out she was back?
00:48:28I'll go and see.
00:48:29This is the last place I saw Francis alive.
00:48:36I gave him a cuddle before Alan and I took Sir Percival to a party.
00:48:42I'll never forgive myself for leaving him.
00:48:44And when you returned home?
00:48:48Uh, I stayed longer than planned.
00:48:50It was Kim in his fault.
00:48:51She can chat for England.
00:48:53Alan had wandered off ages before.
00:48:56When I got back, there was no sign of Aggie anywhere.
00:49:01And then I found Francis.
00:49:03Lying right there.
00:49:05Not moving.
00:49:06Lady Myrtle, did you know that, um, Aggie Marlow was living on your grounds with Noah?
00:49:18Of course I didn't.
00:49:19You never met or saw her?
00:49:21I just said.
00:49:22I didn't know she was back.
00:49:23And trust me, if I had, Aggie would have been dead a lot sooner.
00:49:28I want that woman's body off our land.
00:49:32You know what she did to Myrtle and I?
00:49:33Hey, where were you last night?
00:49:37Are you listening to me, Barnaby?
00:49:40It's Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.
00:49:43I was in my bed getting my beauty sleep in preparation for the grand opening,
00:49:47which actually won't be remotely grand now, thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:49:51Were you aware that she was part of Noah's bar?
00:49:54What on earth are you talking about?
00:49:56It turns out she was Noah's partner, had been for years.
00:49:58My God, you couldn't make it up.
00:50:00Brad didn't happen to find that out when he was searching for Noah.
00:50:03Would I have invited him here if he had?
00:50:05If you wanted revenge for Francis, then yes, that's exactly what you would have done.
00:50:10Look, I invited Noah here simply to raise some cash.
00:50:14My father didn't exactly leave a pot of gold in his will,
00:50:17and these stately homes cost a fortune to maintain.
00:50:20On the outside, it looks like we've won the lottery.
00:50:22On the inside, we can barely afford a ticket.
00:50:24Well, there's still the house and grounds, though.
00:50:26And surely you knew that finding Noah could result in you having to hand over half of everything you'd inherited.
00:50:32You've met him?
00:50:33He's a hippie.
00:50:35They don't belong in houses like this.
00:50:36Anyway, he'll drift away soon enough.
00:50:38Did Brad know you were struggling financially?
00:50:42I admit, I was a little too keen to get Noah here, and someone like Brad might have noted that.
00:50:48Someone like Brad?
00:50:50He was a parasite.
00:50:51I didn't realize at first, but he was a tapeworm eating his way into our family.
00:50:56Sir, I called Saj Solanki, and he said that he remembers seeing Noah and the Axeman in the pub.
00:51:09It seems the Bruce's both had a strong motive for killing Nessie,
00:51:14and Sir Alan had an inkling that Brad wasn't the person he claimed to be.
00:51:19Talking of Brad, we know that he was desperate for money to keep up his lies and lifestyle,
00:51:24so all it would take is for his killer to know that as well.
00:51:28What about the person that the diamond earring belongs to?
00:51:33It could be some kind of love rat thing.
00:51:35Elegantly put, Winter?
00:51:36Or Frankie found out that Brad was cheating on her and killed him in a fit of jealousy.
00:51:39I'm sure that's possible in your love rat world.
00:51:41She was also the only member of the Bruce family that we know for certain met Nessie.
00:51:45Ah, and you were doing so well, Winter.
00:51:48But Frankie hadn't been born when Nessie was babysitting for the Bruce's.
00:51:52It's doubtful she'd know her on side.
00:51:54Here's a question for you.
00:51:56How does a penniless man rent a room in a pub for an entire year?
00:52:14Kimmy won't report you for speeding.
00:52:17There are mitigating circumstances just like you told her.
00:52:19You know what she's like.
00:52:21She takes her misery out on anyone she can find.
00:52:24I can't have points on my license.
00:52:26I could lose my job.
00:52:27Well, come up here then.
00:52:29You'd probably earn more.
00:52:31If this world of woodenness takes off, this place will be packed.
00:52:34It's not the money.
00:52:36I happen to love that job.
00:52:38Mr. Solanke, a word if you don't mind.
00:52:41I thought you were all done here.
00:52:45How did Brad pay for his room and board?
00:52:48Like anyone else?
00:52:48He was penniless, Mr. Solanke.
00:52:51We can just go through your books.
00:52:53Right, well, the thing is, hindsight's a great thing.
00:52:58Right, but I kind of let Brad run up a tab.
00:53:02For an entire year.
00:53:04Oh, he was a nice guy.
00:53:05I totally trusted him.
00:53:07Tell them, Sylvia.
00:53:08You were always urging Frankie to marry him.
00:53:10Who yielded on that?
00:53:12Well, we have you.
00:53:14We found this in Brad's room.
00:53:17Have you seen that before?
00:53:19No, sorry.
00:53:21Did Brad ever have anyone other than Frankie back to his room?
00:53:23Not that I ever saw.
00:53:25Fleur?
00:53:27I believe it or not, we're at the pub right now.
00:53:29Well, we're going to need access to Brad's room again.
00:53:39It'll be fine.
00:53:40Don't worry.
00:53:55Oh, Noah.
00:53:58I'm so sorry.
00:53:59I just heard about Aggie.
00:54:02Aggie?
00:54:03I meant Nessie.
00:54:05You must be devastated.
00:54:08That answers everything.
00:54:11She called herself Nessie, yet you just called her Aggie.
00:54:16I know you're big pals with Myrtle, my charming sister-in-law.
00:54:21Did you do the family a favor and tell them who Nessie really was?
00:54:25I think you should leave.
00:54:27I think I should go to the police, don't you?
00:54:31What is it called?
00:54:33Accessory to murder?
00:54:35Go on then.
00:54:36I've done nothing wrong.
00:54:38I'll tell them you clearly recognized her and they'll realize you're the only one who knew who she was.
00:54:44Why are you here?
00:54:45What do you want from me?
00:54:45That's better.
00:54:46I know I got permission to put on my festival, but what if I wanted to set up home there permanently with all my people?
00:55:00That's something else entirely.
00:55:02You're the head of the council.
00:55:03I'm sure you could make it happen.
00:55:05I already hate Sir Alan.
00:55:06I doubt they'd be too fond of you for riding to his rescue.
00:55:09We're talking about my home.
00:55:11A home I've been denied for far too long, so make it happen.
00:55:17What if I can't?
00:55:20This is my birthright.
00:55:22And I'm not gonna let anyone stand in the way of that.
00:55:30What are you doing?
00:55:42What's that for?
00:55:43Care to explain, Mr. Slunkey?
00:55:46No idea.
00:55:48I was already there when I started running the police.
00:55:51Shall I keep going?
00:55:52Where is this leading flow?
00:55:53I worked on a similar case once.
00:55:55There were mirrors all over the walls in that place as well.
00:55:57Clearly the idea took off.
00:56:00When I first encountered this sort of thing, my boss told me to touch the mirrors with my fingernail.
00:56:05And my fingernail touched its reflection.
00:56:08What else would it touch?
00:56:10Index finger, please, Winter.
00:56:15I promise not to buy it.
00:56:18If it were a normal mirror, your fingernail and its reflection would never meet.
00:56:22There'll always be a gap, like so.
00:56:24But with a two-way mirror.
00:56:27Finger.
00:56:29Dutchess finger.
00:56:31And they're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Slunkey?
00:56:33They're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Slunkey?
00:56:45It's for security purposes.
00:56:47Try again, Mr. Slunkey.
00:56:48Look.
00:56:49A lot of people book into hotels and not just to sleep.
00:56:52They meet up with lovers.
00:56:53Some of them do secret deals.
00:56:55I've heard them on the phone lying about their whereabouts.
00:56:58The list goes on.
00:57:00Half the people that come in here are up to no good.
00:57:02So you thought you'd make some money out of it.
00:57:03When did Brad find out you were doing this?
00:57:04First night he stayed.
00:57:05He accidentally knocked over the mirror onto the floor and he saw the camera behind it.
00:57:07But he didn't report you?
00:57:08He told me to lose the cameras in his room but keep the rest in the other rooms.
00:57:11He wanted in on it.
00:57:12In fact, he took over.
00:57:14He made me blackmail everyone that I could.
00:57:16And for the last year, he's lived here rent-free in exchange fee.
00:57:19for his silence.
00:57:20He's bled me dry in every way you can imagine.
00:57:23Including forcing you to buy Frankie's engagement ring.
00:57:26Well, how do you know that?
00:57:28We didn't until now.
00:57:30We'll need to look into Mr. Slunkey's finances.
00:57:32And we'll need to look into Mr. Slunkey's finances.
00:57:33Am I going to prison for this?
00:57:34At the moment, I'm more interested in who Brad was seeing behind Frankie's back.
00:57:41He wasn't seeing anyone.
00:57:42You're in enough trouble as it is, Mr. Slunkey.
00:57:45I couldn't see anything before.
00:57:47You're in trouble.
00:57:48What was your question?
00:57:50I didn't see anybody behind Frankie's back.
00:57:52I'm thinking you're in trouble, you're in trouble.
00:57:54Then you're in trouble.
00:57:55I didn't see anyone.
00:57:57But I didn't see anything before.
00:57:58I didn't see anything.
00:58:00You're in trouble, mister.
00:58:01I couldn't see anything before because then you'd come back and ask for proof and then you'd find out what you've been doing
00:58:07She used to come in the back way
00:58:10Obviously didn't know I had a hidden camera outside
00:58:14But it was Sylvia Brice
00:58:15Sylvia? No
00:58:17It was her mum
00:58:19Myrtle
00:58:20Look at these idiots
00:58:31She can't give me a ticket
00:58:45This is official police business
00:58:48So is this
00:58:49Just so you know, you can pass on my information
00:58:52But it'll be up to the police if they decide to prosecute or not
00:58:54And, well, I am the police
00:58:57Well, we'll find out on Monday
00:59:00When I send in my data, whether that helps or not
00:59:03When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
00:59:09It's not 30 miles an hour through the village
00:59:12And don't think you can get away with this at night either
00:59:15I'm on guard, 24-7
00:59:17Sorry, Kimmy
00:59:18I'll go halves on the fine
00:59:21Someone needs to take that speed gun off her
00:59:25Drive on, Winter
00:59:27Slowly
00:59:28Would you like to know where we found this?
00:59:45You should know that Brad never loved Frankie
00:59:48I mean, how could he?
00:59:50She's quite unlovable
00:59:51Alan and I tried for years
00:59:53When did you and Brad start seeing each other?
00:59:57Months ago
00:59:58I rather felt for him
01:00:00All that pretending he had to do
01:00:02So the affair was still going on even at the engagement party
01:00:04Did Sir Alan know?
01:00:06It doesn't matter if he did or he didn't
01:00:08He disappeared the night Francis died
01:00:11There's more life in his portrait
01:00:13When did you last see Brad?
01:00:16When he was lying dead in our hallway
01:00:17Lady Myrtle?
01:00:18At the engagement party
01:00:21And you were never worried that Saj would see you at the pub and tell Frankie?
01:00:24I didn't go there often
01:00:25And Brad seemed to have some hold over Saj
01:00:29He said he wouldn't say a word if he knew what was good for him
01:00:32Sadly for you, we can say whatever he wants now
01:00:35What are you talking about?
01:00:36Saj has CCTV footage of you two arguing outside his pub
01:00:40The day before Brad died
01:00:41What was the argument about?
01:00:44He'd found out that Alan and I aren't exactly wealthy
01:00:47He was furious
01:00:48He said I'd been leading him on
01:00:50Did he break up with you?
01:00:51He threatened to
01:00:52How did you feel about that?
01:00:54How do you think?
01:00:55Did you get the dibbler from Kim and his shop?
01:00:58All in to see her and slip one into your pocket?
01:01:01I wouldn't know a dibbler from a punch on the nose
01:01:03And then you rigged the clock?
01:01:04Oh, this is ridiculous
01:01:05Murder very often is
01:01:06Lady Myrtle
01:01:08You're not going to bring Lady Myrtle in, sir
01:01:12Sir Alan has already given her an alibi for the night Brad was killed
01:01:16We need something concrete
01:01:17Yes, Winter
01:01:20Oh, okay, that was quick
01:01:22Thanks
01:01:24Sir, Tech have managed to trace the anonymous call regarding Aggie Marlow
01:01:28It was from Kim and E. Bullitt
01:01:31Oh, of course it was
01:01:33We already know she likes to share her findings with the police
01:01:36Hop over to her shop and find out if she told anyone else
01:01:40She was obviously worried about what might happen
01:01:42Hello?
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:48You could have picked somewhere more accessible
01:02:13I never liked that hill
01:02:15I never liked that hill
01:02:15There you are
01:02:42Let me just catch my breath
01:02:44Oh
01:02:46Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:03:16How's your thumb?
01:03:31Throbbing.
01:03:35Do you really think you can put that arbor together?
01:03:38Only I don't want it suddenly collapsing on Betty or her friends or on me, for that matter.
01:03:43That arbor will still be standing a hundred years from now.
01:03:47A monument to the inherited skills of a master craftsman.
01:03:52Right.
01:04:06Winter.
01:04:13What's that around her mouth?
01:04:21Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue.
01:04:23Super strong.
01:04:24I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:04:29It looks like someone stuck her to the chair, and then, if I'm right, they force-fed her with whatever was left in the glue gun.
01:04:36That's also covered in glue.
01:04:37Whatever it was, tried to make it cosy and inviting, if only.
01:04:44Any idea where the chairs came from?
01:04:46Titting from the finish, I'd say a craftsman, I bet.
01:04:48Would you like a ticket?
01:05:05I'm afraid Kim and E. Bullock was killed sometime last night.
01:05:28My God.
01:05:30I was wondering what had happened.
01:05:33Were you at the house?
01:05:34No.
01:05:35I stayed here last night.
01:05:37Now he's a bit lost right now, obviously, so I thought I could be there for him.
01:05:43You didn't see or hear anything?
01:05:45No.
01:05:46Sorry.
01:05:47This is awful.
01:05:49I've known Kim and E my whole life.
01:05:55Excuse me.
01:05:56I'm sorry.
01:06:09wood is so much more than we think it is it has sheltered us defended us given up its body
01:06:21to us yes she came up with that all of this was her idea show people how much they can
01:06:30learn and benefit from nature and turn it into furniture namely a pair of chairs
01:06:36if you're looking to pin this on me anyone could have come in here you really shouldn't try locking
01:06:43things away mr conor boy someone needs to go and tell the crowds we won't be opening anytime soon
01:06:48they'll have to come back next year you're planning on returning i'm not actually planning on leaving
01:06:55i was born here nessie was born here i belong here
01:07:01hi sir yeah i'm in kimony's shop someone's been in here and looks like they've smashed up our laptop
01:07:19is there anyone kimony might have upset recently if there was she didn't tell me
01:07:33we know she left an anonymous tip-off about aggie marlowe being back in godly buzzard did she
01:07:40happen to tell you as well as i've already said that wouldn't have gone well for aggie
01:07:45is that why kimony decided to contact us you met her she spent half her life contacting the police
01:07:51talking of which did she ever mention the hit and run only to the point of boredom
01:07:58more recently i mean as in had she found out who killed her husband
01:08:02no she'd have said in fact she'd have screamed it from the rooftops
01:08:06we know that brad checked into saggy's pub on the same night that kimony's husband was killed
01:08:14before you fall down that rabbit hole brad got a puncture up at the house and walked down to the
01:08:19village he couldn't have run anyone over let alone kim and his husband
01:08:23i don't suppose i could have francis's teddy
01:08:29only kimony bought that for him it feels so wrong that aggie took it
01:08:34how did you know about the teddy bear we deliberately withheld that information
01:08:42alan told me he must have let it slip chief inspector
01:08:46charles how good of you to call now i may need you to sue the police for loss of earnings
01:09:04yes that's right the police i'll send you an email with all the details speak soon
01:09:10well that should shrink your annual budget
01:09:13how did you know about aggie marlowe taking francis's teddy bear
01:09:18you told your wife remember well i probably picked it up off of one of you lot
01:09:24aggie must have gone up to francis's room
01:09:28i think you saw her
01:09:30you're absolute balderdash
01:09:31why would she go up there
01:09:33i didn't know she had
01:09:34it seems a strange place to return to considering the circumstances
01:09:38or was she coming to see you and lady myrtle
01:09:41i very much doubt it
01:09:43she'd been avoiding being seen
01:09:45yet she felt confident enough to come to the house
01:09:49the place where she'd apparently left a child to die
01:09:52i'm afraid i can't answer for her actions
01:09:54i happen to think you can
01:09:56what really happened on the day your son died
01:10:00i'd really rather not go back there
01:10:01it's still exceedingly raw even after all these years
01:10:04i know that you and your wife went to a party with your father
01:10:10she said that she came back alone
01:10:13which implies that either you were still at the party
01:10:15or you'd already left
01:10:18i stayed till the bitter end
01:10:19then you would have seen both lady myrtle and kimony
01:10:23because they stayed late as well
01:10:24you've spent a long time living with this sir alan
01:10:30she was extremely attractive back then
01:10:39and i was only a little older than her
01:10:43in your eyes perhaps
01:10:45and i've been drinking
01:10:47and you know sometimes on those odd occasions
01:10:51when you have a romantic thought
01:10:53and then that thought becomes a possibility
01:10:55and then before you know where you are
01:10:56it's a cast iron certainty
01:10:58and i was sir percival's son
01:11:00how could she not be impressed
01:11:01but aggie wasn't impressed was she
01:11:04well she tried to be polite
01:11:05and i went along with it at first
01:11:07but then i said we hadn't got much time
01:11:09and perhaps we should move things forward
01:11:11well she was appalled
01:11:13said she wanted to go and check on francis
01:11:17he was crying and uh
01:11:18i i stopped her
01:11:20i didn't let her see him
01:11:22for how long
01:11:24well i thought i heard a thump
01:11:27or a thud
01:11:28or something
01:11:29but i i just ignored it
01:11:31because i had other things on my mind
01:11:33and aggie heard it too
01:11:36told me to open the door
01:11:38she said it over and over again
01:11:39and when i refused
01:11:40she slapped me
01:11:41and then she dodged by me
01:11:42and her first thought
01:11:42was to go and check on francis
01:11:44and that's when i heard her scream
01:11:47and by the time you got there
01:11:51well to my eternal
01:11:54shame i blamed her
01:11:56i said it was all her fault
01:11:57and that i would see her locked up
01:12:00for life
01:12:01so she ran
01:12:03knowing that no one would believe
01:12:06her word against yours
01:12:07the son of sir percival bruce
01:12:09she came to see me a few nights ago
01:12:12she told me she was going to tell myrtle the truth
01:12:16well everybody in fact
01:12:17why now after all this time
01:12:19well noah wants to set up permanent residence on the grounds
01:12:23but i didn't kill her i swear
01:12:24i didn't even try to get that damn teddy back
01:12:27i just stood there frozen
01:12:31in this pathetic excuse
01:12:34that i call my life
01:12:36winter
01:12:45winter
01:12:45sir i looked into
01:12:56sag's financials like you said
01:12:57and the odd thing
01:12:58was that sylvia
01:12:59paid for brad's room
01:13:01the night he turned up in godly buzzard
01:13:02but she said that she didn't meet him that day
01:13:04i think we'd better talk to her
01:13:06also flair's tech team
01:13:08found a smudge of blue ink
01:13:10on kimony's laptop
01:13:11it was only tiny but she's going to run it
01:13:12i tell her there's no me
01:13:14yeah i already have sir
01:13:15because it's probably from the stamp
01:13:17that sylvia uses in her library
01:13:19you won't jump ahead of me winter
01:13:20there is a first time for everything sir
01:13:22you should get a bonus for all the things you've taught me
01:13:25didn't tech have any luck with kimony's laptop
01:13:29uh they managed to retrieve most of the data
01:13:31it was just the speeding reports that she'd been filing
01:13:34and i see
01:13:38i should go and talk to her before she heads off
01:13:48sylvia i wanted to ask
01:13:49why did you pay for brad's room the night that the flower festival was rained off
01:13:53sylvia
01:13:54you said that you hadn't met him that day
01:13:56sylvia
01:13:58sylvia
01:14:05put your foot down winter
01:14:07I can't go and live without excuse for an uncle.
01:14:36I can do what the hell I like.
01:14:38Noah's going to try and take all of this from us.
01:14:40Not just the grounds he wants, he'll come for his share of the house.
01:14:43And you think I'm on your side?
01:14:45I hope he gets the lot.
01:14:47Frankie.
01:14:48Frankie!
01:14:56He's heading for the gate, sir.
01:14:57He's gonna go straight through them, sir.
01:15:03Frankie!
01:15:06Frankie!
01:15:16Sylvia!
01:15:17What are you doing?
01:15:18They know.
01:15:19Know what?
01:15:20What I did.
01:15:21Pull yourself together, Sylvia.
01:15:22I killed him, mother.
01:15:24I killed him.
01:15:26What the hell is going on?
01:15:32He's shaking like a leaf.
01:15:37Sylvia, I don't understand.
01:15:39Ask them.
01:15:40They know.
01:15:41I know.
01:15:42Stop saying that.
01:15:43Will somebody talk to me?
01:15:44Well, tell them then.
01:15:45Tell them what I did.
01:15:46I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia.
01:15:48I didn't see him.
01:15:49The road was empty one minute the next.
01:15:50He was just standing there right in front of me.
01:15:51Who is she talking about?
01:15:52Jiminy Bullitt's husband, Lawrence.
01:15:53What?
01:15:54Sylvia?
01:15:55Right, don't say another word.
01:15:56Alan, call your solicitor.
01:15:57Tell us what happened, Sylvia.
01:15:58Leave my daughter alone.
01:15:59Alan, call Charles now.
01:16:00Josh!
01:16:01I didn't think anyone had seen me, so I drove off, not knowing what to do.
01:16:05I was in such a state though, I had to pull over, thought I was going to be sick.
01:16:08A few minutes later, there was a tap on the side of the library.
01:16:11I was just sitting there right in front of me.
01:16:12I was just sitting there right in front of me.
01:16:13Who is she talking about?
01:16:14Jiminy Bullitt's husband, Lawrence.
01:16:15What?
01:16:16Sylvia?
01:16:17Right, don't say another word.
01:16:18Alan, call your solicitor.
01:16:19Tell us what happened, Sylvia.
01:16:20Leave my daughter alone.
01:16:21Alan, call Charles now.
01:16:22Josh!
01:16:23I didn't think anyone had seen me, so I drove off, not knowing what to do.
01:16:27Brad had seen what you'd done.
01:16:30He made me pay for his room at Sash's pub.
01:16:33He was really after something else.
01:16:36I'm so sorry.
01:16:38I'm so sorry.
01:16:41He wanted to be in the manor.
01:16:43He wanted a portrait of his own.
01:16:45He wanted it all.
01:16:46So he told me I had to make sure you married him.
01:16:51Doesn't anyone want me for who I am?
01:16:53I know.
01:16:54I know, and I hated him so much for it.
01:16:56I wanted to rescue you, Frankie.
01:16:58I wanted so many things.
01:16:59You wanted to?
01:17:00As I learned at great cost last year, there are certain perennials that shouldn't be planted
01:17:04next to each other.
01:17:05Kim and I would know that better than anyone.
01:17:07I think we found Brad's phone.
01:17:10And on it, no doubt, we'll find out why it had to be buried.
01:17:13Mm-hmm.
01:17:14Am I right, Frankie?
01:17:17I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:17:22I know it was you who smashed up Kim and his laptop.
01:17:24Me?
01:17:25I had no idea that even happened.
01:17:27I saw a list of number plates on a document that Kim and he was putting together.
01:17:32Your friend Cordelia's number plate was on it along with a date and time.
01:17:36Then talk to Cordelia, not me.
01:17:38Ironically, that was actually the very thing you were trying to prevent.
01:17:42When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:17:45It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:17:47And don't think you can get away with this at night either.
01:17:50I'm on guard 24-7.
01:17:52You took Cordelia's car after everyone had passed out after your celebrations.
01:17:57You drove it up here not thinking for a minute that Kim and he would still be out monitoring the roads.
01:18:03She was going to post her findings on Monday and the moment Cordelia received her speeding notice, she would have questioned it.
01:18:10You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:18:15Is this true?
01:18:16Not a word of it.
01:18:17And who stays up half the night looking for speeders?
01:18:20Kim and he did.
01:18:21She was heartbroken after Lauren. She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:18:25We know that the cuckoo clock had been moved high enough to kill Brad.
01:18:29And who would have known Brad's height better than you?
01:18:32Try my mother. She seemed to have spent a lot of time with him.
01:18:36Yes, mother, I knew that earring was yours.
01:18:39Would you like to tell us what's on the phone, Frankie?
01:18:43It won't take us long to access it.
01:18:57Well, when you put it like that...
01:18:58Frankie...
01:19:02It was the look on his face that did it. It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:19:12I knew what he was thinking. So I sent him a message.
01:19:16Why don't we steal the clock and run away together?
01:19:20He agreed. Said we should do it after things had died down.
01:19:23But you came up here and rigged the clock.
01:19:25Because I knew he was lying. He wanted it all for himself.
01:19:31I hoped I was wrong, but sometimes you just know.
01:19:35It was horrible to watch.
01:19:37How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:19:57I didn't matter what time it was. Frankie knew Brad would turn the hour hands to get the cuckoo to come out regardless.
01:20:07Tell me about Nessie. Presumably you saw her up at the house.
01:20:11Kimmy, I just got your message. Oh my God. Are you sure it's her? I can't. I just can't. Not while there's breath in my body.
01:20:25I hadn't a clue who my mother was talking about.
01:20:27Until you realized there was only one person your mother could hate that much.
01:20:31Aggie Marlowe. And there she was. Carrying Francis' teddy.
01:20:38So you took revenge for your brother?
01:20:40How could I not? She's responsible for this nightmare I call my life.
01:20:46Only she wasn't.
01:20:48What?
01:20:49I suggest you speak to Sir Alan about that.
01:20:52I'm curious about the blue ink on Kimmy's laptop. Presumably you wanted to throw us off the trail.
01:21:00Sorry, sis. You all but forced me into loving Brad.
01:21:06It was his doing, not mine.
01:21:08But I didn't know that, did I? I believed every word he said.
01:21:11I'm your sister. I was put in a horrible position.
01:21:14Well, you want to know about horrible positions? Try killing three people.
01:21:18Most people would have just called off the engagement.
01:21:21Blame them. They made me that way. I grew up being rejected for not being what they desperately wanted.
01:21:27And there I was again. Not being what Brad wanted.
01:21:34What's a girl to do?
01:21:37Though I rather hoped. I was always one step ahead of you.
01:21:42If it's any consolation, you were.
01:21:46But you always saw the wood despite the trees.
01:21:53Oh, how ironic.
01:21:57I don't understand you, Frankie. How are you saying all these things?
01:22:01As if you didn't have a care in the world.
01:22:03Because I learnt from the worst.
01:22:05If only you and father had wanted me.
01:22:08It was just a simple little thing. Like loving a child.
01:22:12But it was beyond both of you.
01:22:20I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:22:23That's it.
01:22:24Almost there.
01:22:25He's doing a grand job.
01:22:26He is.
01:22:27And I have to say, I am deeply impressed.
01:22:42Did you know pergolas and arbors date back to early Egyptian times?
01:22:43Really? That far?
01:22:44In some societies, they were actually status symbols.
01:22:45Well, the Barnabys are going up in the world.
01:22:49I'd have had that up an hour ago.
01:22:50You'd be moaning about having a strain-free.
01:22:51I'm sorry.
01:22:52I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:22:53I'm sorry.
01:22:54I'm sorry.
01:22:55I'm sorry.
01:22:56I'm sorry.
01:22:57I'm sorry.
01:22:58I'm sorry.
01:22:59I'm sorry.
01:23:00I'm sorry.
01:23:01I'm sorry.
01:23:02I'm sorry.
01:23:03I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:23:04I'm sorry.
01:23:05I'm sorry.
01:23:06I'm sorry.
01:23:07I'm sorry.
01:23:08I'm sorry.
01:23:09I'm sorry.
01:23:10You'd be moaning about having a strain back by now.
01:23:13I'm just saying, it would have taken me half the time.
01:23:15Don't listen to them, Winter.
01:23:17You're doing a fine job.
01:23:21A very fine job, indeed.
