We'll have another go at To Be Or Not To Be. 559 00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:05,780 And listen. The man is 28 years old, not 16. 560 00:39:05,780 --> 00:39:10,180 So less hormonal and much more metaphysical. 561 00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:16,540 He's a hard man to please. 562 00:39:16,540 --> 00:39:19,060 The man couldn't direct traffic! 563 00:39:27,780 --> 00:39:30,820 The wound shows an angle of entry something like that. 564 00:39:30,820 --> 00:39:34,820 So Baxter could have killed himself. And then dropped it in the stream? 565 00:39:34,820 --> 00:39:38,580 It's possible. What about the missing fragment from the blade? 566 00:39:38,580 --> 00:39:40,580 It's definitely not in the body. 567 00:39:40,580 --> 00:39:42,540 This is not adding up, is it? 568 00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:44,580 Baxter left no note. 569 00:39:44,580 --> 00:39:48,140 He was selling his house.

Yes, but he used it as a paper knife. 572 00:39:54,180 --> 00:39:58,260 So the handle was obviously wiped clean. Of course. 573 00:39:58,260 --> 00:40:00,740 Baxter was murdered. 574 00:40:00,740 --> 00:40:05,580 Jones, I want you to take up Charles King's invitation to his lodge. 575 00:40:05,580 --> 00:40:10,940 Sir.
