All language subtitles for Midsomer Murders - S21E02 - The Miniature Murders

Okay, it's almost time for our light show,

so make sure you're ready to take photos

of your little stars.

Wee, wee!

Come on, Mum and Dad, you can get some.

What about you, did you get them?

Here goes the bubbles.

Always your favorite.

Nevermind, it'll be here

any time you want to come and see it.

Oh, sorry, hello.

If you'd like to take a seat.

On behalf of my fellow trustees,

welcome to the Midsomer
Museum of the Family.

This is one of the country's

most notable collections of doll's houses

and we're delighted to be adding
it to our existing display,

so please welcome our
generous new sponsor,

Alexander Beauvoisin.

Thank you very much, thank you.

Yes?

Thank you.

I'm honored to be here.

Now you might be thinking

he doesn't look much like
a doll's house aficionado.

You'd be right.

But what I do know about is family.

These incredible miniatures
were actually collected

by my Great Aunt Olive, founder
of the Beauvoisin Estates,

she taught me to value family

above everything else.

Homes are the lifeblood

of any community,

they're the place we raise our children,

they're the place we make memories,

they're the place we feel safe

and that's why it's so fitting,

that Beauvoisin Estates
be making this donation

and I honestly...

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Don't worry, they're both safe.

I spoke to Sarah, can we go in yet?

Yeah, Firearms have
just given the all clear

and we've got 60 people
including 15 children,

everyone we could find has been searched.

But no weapon?

Not yet, they've either
fled or hidden the gun.

And no one saw the shooter?

No one actually saw the gun go off,

but everyone's talking about a man

giving the victim a slow hand clap

from the back of the room
beforehand, he's disappeared.

See if CCTV picked him up,

we need to know who he is and where he is.

Daddy!

You okay?
- Yeah, we're fine really,

none of us even realized, we
didn't hear a thing, did we?

Yeah, we just carried on with the class.

Hm, we'll need your register,

we'll process young families first.

Silencer?
- Could be.

What do we know about the victim?

Alexander Beauvoisin, 52,
he was a local estate agent,

just donated a collection of doll's houses

to the museum apparently.

That's his girlfriend, Polly Ackroyd,

she tried to give him first aid.

Don't you start.

I know, just initial findings?

He's dead, shot at fairly close range,

I'd say you're looking for
a large caliber firearm,

.45 or bigger, whoever tried to help him

had the sense to recognize

that air was getting
into the chest cavity,

they improvised a seal,

they did a decent job on
packing the exit wound too.

Anything else you can tell me?

Don't move house the
weekend you're on call.

Didn't know you were moving?

Desperately needed more space.

What for?

My many and varied interests.

He was shot in front of
a room full of people,

but nobody saw the gun go off.

See if that door will open.
- Here we are,

caught in his clothes,

feels very light for a bullet this size.

It's made of wood.

I've never seen anything like it.

Sir, this house,

the hinges at the back has been left open.

The frame's been blown out.

And the chest of drawers is singed,

I think we know where
they took their shot.

Excuse me, sorry, it's
the list you asked for.

Do be careful,

some of these pieces
are extremely valuable.

I'm sure they won't do any damage.

Maxine Dobson, I'm in
charge of exhibits here.

It's because they're toys, you see,

people fail to show
them necessary respect.

I'm DCI Barnaby, this is DS Winter,

he will ensure that every care is taken.

Was there anything controversial
about the event today,

any reason to target Alexander?

It was a little ironic, I suppose,

doll's houses donated by
the landlord from hell.

There were issues with his tenants?

I'd say, he had dozens of houses,

but not so keen on maintaining them,

a girl died thanks to a dodgy boiler,

it was in the paper.

She was a student, I think,

they've been organizing
protests against him ever since.

Did you see a man give Alexander

a slow hand clap before the shooting?

No, well, they were all
talking about it downstairs,

I nipped outside for a drink
as soon as I'd finished my bit,

came back in when I heard the screaming.

I want to see the toy shop mouse.

I know, darling, but not today.

Toy shop mouse.

Sorry, she's always been obsessed

with the little toy shop you have here,

you like to spot the mouse
in the basement, don't you?

Well, I like him too.

He's cute.

That's why most of our exhibits
must stay behind glass.

Come on.

This is her, Lara Wokoma,
died in her student flat

three years ago of
carbon monoxide poisoning

linked to a faulty boiler.

Find out where her family
are and we need to know

who's behind those
student protests as well.

Holly Ackroyd?

DCI Barnaby, DS Winter,

I'm very sorry for what
you've been through today,

we just have to ask you a few questions

and then there'll be a car
ready to take you home.

Okay, I don't know what
I can tell you though,

I was out here when it happened.

Well, when I got back in, I
tried to, I used my shirt,

but there was just so much blood.

You did everything you could,

you must have first aid training?

Oh, years ago, yeah,
when I was a holiday rep.

Can you think of anyone
that'd want to hurt Alexander,

business associates,
someone from his past?

Not that I can think of, the thing is,

I don't actually know that much about him,

it wasn't that kind of relationship.

What do you mean?

We were having fun, nice
restaurants, shopping.

Don't get me wrong, I liked him,

but we weren't in love or anything,

you need to speak to Fiona.

Fiona?

His wife.

Oh, right.

Oh no, it was nothing like that,

they were already separated and stuff.

You know, I got a sales
job with him in March

and it kind of went from there.

And how were things with his wife?

Oh, they were fighting over the house,

I stayed well out of it, but
she was in the carpark with me,

when he was killed, kept
giving me dirty looks,

so when she left, I went
to have it out with her.

Did Alexander know anyone else here?

The woman in the bird
costume gave him a hug,

Jemima, they used to work
together or something.

Has anything else happened
recently, anything unusual?

Not really,

except there was this thing this morning

with the guys who came to
move the doll's houses,

one of them, the older guy totally lost it

as in actually throwing things.

I told Alex to sort it out,

but he refused to even go
downstairs, I think he was afraid.

Seems genuine enough,

assuming that the wife backs up her alibi.

She was lying about
that first aid training,

I don't know what 18 to 30s holiday reps

are expected to do these days,

but I doubt it includes the
treatment of gunshot wounds.

Look into that removals firm

and find out if she's ever
held a firearms certificate.

I'm going to speak to Buddy Bird.

This is last
Christmas, work party,

that was his tipsy face.

You were close?
- Oh, yes,

yes, I ran his sales team for a decade,

before I did this full time.

Were you working for him

when a young woman died
in one of his properties?

He was devastated about that,
okay, it wasn't his fault,

you'll probably hear some
horrible things about Alexander,

you know, but he was a successful man

and it makes people jealous

or I don't know, what's the word?

Mercenary.

Are you talking about
someone in particular?

Well, his wife for one,

doesn't do a day's work in 20
years and then suddenly thinks

she's entitled to every
penny in the divorce.

Were you in there with Carys,
when Alexander was killed?

Why would I?

Oh no, we used to run the
soft play center together,

but then we had some creative differences.

I see, so where were you?
- No, in fact,

I've been meaning to talk
to the police about this,

because when she left,
she stole some things,

play mats, rugs, my favorite
orange bag with a monkey on it.

Sorry, it's not important now.

Where were you when the gun went off?

Near the entrance putting up my posters.

Oh, you know, Maxine didn't
even let me tender for this job,

she just gave it to Carys,
not that I'm surprised,

'cause they're both weirdos,

actually have you spoken
to Maxine and Carys?

Because I saw them with
Xander in the carpark

before the event and
they did not look happy.

What do you mean?

Oh, tearing strips off him, the poor man,

I don't know what it was
about, but it looked vicious.

You need to get me out
of here, we're done.

Bird Brain called,

she loved being the one to tell me.

I'm sorry, Bird Brain?

Jemima Starling, Alexander's
one-woman fan club.

This isn't a celebration by the way,

it's the only thing I had to hand.

Do you mind if we sit down?

Hm, of course, sorry.

So,

is he in custody?

You know who shot your husband?

Well, I didn't see the gun,

but it was Wesley Peters surely,

I mean, they let him out of
prison and then within 24 hours

he's standing there eyeballing Alexander

and giving him this very
aggressive round of applause.

And how did Alexander know him?

Wesley had the maintenance
contracts for his properties,

but he messed up, a girl died.

The faulty boiler?

He got five years for manslaughter,

but he claimed that Alexander set him up.

Wesley Peters, I'm on it.

Did your husband have any other enemies?

Tenants, colleagues, family
of the girl who died,

oh, and me of course.

How long had you been separated?

Six months,

I should have left as soon
as the affair started,

it was humiliating.

I understand there was
conflict over the house?

The day I filed for divorce,

I came home to find
he'd changed the locks,

then there were all these
schemes for hiding his wealth.

I gave up everything for him,

but he was determined that
I should leave with nothing.

So why go to his fundraiser?

Stand up to him.

I loved those doll's houses,

he was giving them away to spite me.

Where were you when he was killed?

Driving home, you can
ask his latest bimbo.

What do you know

about Alexander's relationship with Holly?

Enough to know that
relationship is pushing it.

He met her at work.

He also worked with Jemima, didn't he?

What did you mean about
her being his fan club?

It's the only woman he didn't
sleep with, poor Jemima,

she was in love with him, bless her

and told him as much at
one of their work parties

and he laughed at her,

which is why she quit.

Sir, I've tracked him down.
- Wesley Peters?

Yeah.

Give him my best, won't you?

I know why you're here,
just put that away, yeah,

I've lined me up a job
here starting tomorrow.

You're out on license, is that right?

Since yesterday.

And your top priority, when you got out

was a visit to the museum?

Look, I'm not denying I was
there, but I didn't kill him.

There must be a whole room full
of people can tell you that.

So why did you run?

Panicked, wasn't there to do anything,

just wanted to see the look on his face.

What do you mean?

Last time he saw me, I weighed nine stone

and couldn't stand up for myself,

I need him to know that's changed.

You believe Alexander framed you

for the manslaughter of Lara Wokoma?

I know he did, 'cause I never
signed off on that boiler,

he sent some kid round to patch it up

and fake the certificate.

Some kid?

Nico Dearden, he's only 18,

came round asking for odd job work

obviously to fund a habit, you
could tell by looking at him,

but he was cheaper than me
and that's what mattered.

But you couldn't prove it?

It's Alexander's word against mine

and he had the better lawyers.

So that's it,

two and a half years
of my life written off.

What about Lara's family,
did they blame Alexander?

You'd have to ask them,

but I know what I would
do if it was my daughter.

You can't really do it in a suit.

Clear motive, but if you're
about to shoot someone,

why draw attention to yourself like that?

It could have been a tactic

to create an alibi for himself.

Like he knew someone
else was about to do it?

It's possible.

Find out who he was
friendly with in prison

and go back through the statement

and see if anyone actually
had eyes on Wesley Peters,

when the gun went off.

Argh!

Sorry I'm late, sorry if I smell.

How's the new place?

No hot water and I can't find the kettle.

Ah, well, let me know if I can help.

There's a pile of flat pack furniture

with your name on it.

You're not moving too, are you?

Oh, they're persons of interest.

The Wokomas?

They're good lads.
- You know them?

They did my move last time,

much better than the cowboys
I used this time around.

It's incredibly sad,

the daughter was helping to
earn some money for college,

then a few months later

I found myself performing her autopsy.

Any luck?

Yeah, the museum paid them

to move the collection yesterday morning.

They've had a rough time,

the mother died a few
years ago, then Lara.

Don't go upsetting them.

I can be sensitive.

What, I can.

Right, he was in good health,

a little alcohol in his system,

but no trace of narcotics
or other medication.

Cause of death was exsanguination,

the bullet having severed
the right coronary artery.

Have you found the gun?

No, it wasn't at the scene.

Well, I spoke to a colleague in Ballistics

and this is what you're looking for,

the 1917 Lundberg, it's
a Swedish semi-automatic

designed to fire a
lightweight, wooden bullet,

fewer than 1000 ever produced.

There was one other thing,

the lab ran tests on some
marks inside the doll's house,

it's human blood mixed
in with gunshot residue,

I'm waiting to hear if it
matches anyone in the system.

Thanks, anything else?
- Not for now.

Just let me know when you're ready.

For what?

That flat pack.

I know you were only
offering to be polite,

but that's not my problem, is it?

Dad, police.

At last, the phone's
been ringing off the hook

with the good news.

I'm very sorry about what
happened to your daughter.

He wasn't.

You know, he never even
made contact with us,

so worried about saving his own skin,

he couldn't say sorry
to a grieving family.

I do need to ask this, I'm afraid,

where were you both at
around five p.m. yesterday?

I understand why you need to ask us,

hopefully you'll understand
why we're not gonna tell you.

You're refusing to provide an alibi?

That's right.

I know you're angry...
- No comment.

You do realize the implications of not...

No comment.

Okay, what about yesterday morning,

were you employed by the museum

to move a doll's house collection
from the victim's home?

No comment.
- Dad!

They obviously know that we were.

I didn't realize whose house it was,

then when I saw the family photos,

I had to get out of there.

Where did you go?

No comment.

Ah, he was with me last
night, he was at home with me,

five p.m., we were playing
video games together.

Thank you for telling me.

After everything with Lara,
he's not good with the police.

There was something else actually,

when we were packing up the doll's houses,

Alexander was shouting upstairs

and then the woman who
lived there was crying.

Did you recognize her?

Blonde hair, he called her a thief.

Did you hear anything else?

No, that was it.

I'd better get back to work.

What did you say to them?

I told you not to come here.

Oh, I've got information
for mature students,

if you're interested.

Do I look like I'm a,

nevermind, Erin Turner?

Oh, yeah, hi.

I need to talk to you

about the murder of Alexander Beauvoisin.

It's true then?

He was killed in a museum yesterday.

You were running a campaign
against him, is that right?

Not just him,

all landlords that fail
in their duty of care.

The focus was Alexander though?

You've heard about the girl who died?

I was her best mate.

Tell me about the protest you organized

at the museum yesterday.

We wanted to challenge his
pillar of the community act,

I mean, it was sick,
donating these tiny houses,

when his real properties
lived in by real people

are damp and unsafe.

So why cancel it?

Not enough interest, exam term.

Did you go anywhere near the museum

at five p.m. yesterday?

No, I went to Lara's
grave with her brother,

we always take flowers
around her birthday.

Are you sure you were there at five p.m.?

Positive, I was supposed
to have swim training,

but I missed it.

Because I just spoke to my boss

and Finn's saying that he was at home

with his father at that time.

Then he's confused.

Did you drive there, maybe
we can trace your car?

We walked along the canal.

Look, Finn's been upset,
so he must have it wrong,

because he was definitely
with me at five o'clock.

Oh, thank you.

5:02, Alexander comes on stage

and Maxine Dobson leaves
by this exit here,

then this must be the moment

that Wesley Peters does
his slow hand clap.

I went back through the statements,

plenty of people saw him, but
no one remembers specifically

where he was when the gun went off

and there's Fiona Beauvoisin

and Holly Ackroyd leaving,
which backs up their account.

Did anything come back on Holly?

No, no criminal record
or firearms license,

she's not on social
media, which is a bit odd.

Well, I'm not.
- Yeah, I know, but you're,

above all that.

I am indeed.

Where are we with banking
records and Digital Forensics?

They're still going through his computer,

he was moving a lot of money around.

You know the old school
building behind the church?

He sold that to Jemima
Starling and Carys Nicholson

for 70 grand.

70?
- Yeah,

I spoke to an estate agent,
it's worth at least 600.

Well, perhaps his wife is right,

he was getting assets
off the balance sheet.

Any luck tracing Finn Wokoma
and Erin Turner's movements?

We're trying to get CCTV

from the streets near the cemetery.

Good, because Finn can't have been

in both places at once, can he?

What about Alexander's tenants,

have uniform spoken to them yet?

Yeah, three seperate people
mentioned Maxine Dobson,

she rents the toy shop from him

and they've been seen in public arguing.

Well, let's have another chat with her.

Update from Forensics,

they've found a purple
thread in the doll's house,

they think it came from
a synthetic feather.

You need to stop.

Erin, please.

I said no.

It's incredible, the level
of detail on this stuff.

Hm, that's why she has
a two-year waiting list,

everything she makes is
a perfect reproduction

and this one's going to
a collector in Tokyo.

Ah.

Do you run this place together?

Sort of, I'm her lodger,
but I've always helped out.

I'll go and get her.

Oh, I need to talk to you too.

Oh, yeah, sure.

You used to run a soft play center

with Jemima Starling?

Yeah,

never go into business
with your quirky friend,

it might just turn out
to be your insane friend.

So who owns it now?
- Oh, still both of us.

She's gonna buy me out.

Has she been accusing me of stealing?

Because every item I removed
is something I paid for.

That's not why I'm asking.

I wanted to know why Alexander
let you buy the building

at such a discount?

I don't know, when Jemima set it all up,

she said it was okay.

Have we done something illegal?

I'm not sure yet.

I understand Maxine rents
this place from Alexander

and that there were
disagreements between them?

She's been here 35 years,

he was trying to bully her out,
so he could sell the place.

A witness saw you and Maxine
arguing with Alexander

in the museum carpark
shortly before he was killed.

Yeah, because he was getting ridiculous,

he actually paid someone
to stand outside the shop

scaring customers away.
- He admitted to this?

Yeah, he was proud of it.

Look, when you speak to Maxine, she's not,

she doesn't find things easy socially.

Through here?
- Yeah.

I'll be fine.

Thank you.

You see, and this place is soundproof,

I'm not some delicate flower,
ask me whatever you like.

The argument you had with Alexander.

I won't apologize for standing up to him,

his Great Aunt Olive promised
me a lifetime's tenancy,

she was a collector, you see,
she appreciated the craft.

I can see why and that's
this place, is it,

like the one in the museum?
- Argh!

It's not finished yet.

Carys said you have a long
waiting list for commissions.

They can wait, this one's for me.

Why didn't you tell me that
you argued with Alexander

less than an hour before he died?

I said quite clearly

he had a long list of
tenants who hated him.

You just neglected to mention

that you were on that list.

It didn't seem relevant to me,

then again I know I didn't shoot him.

You said in your statement
that you were outside

when the gun went off getting a drink,

why did you need to leave
the room to get a drink?

There was a table full
of prosecco in there.

Do I strike you as a prosecco drinker?

I had a hip flask of single malt.

Maxine, you do understand
the seriousness of this?

A man you had a public feud with is dead

and you haven't been able
to provide us with an alibi.

I can't alter the facts,

if you find some evidence against me,

I'm sure you'll tell me, until then.

Yay, give yourselves a

well done, everyone, see you next week.

A feather?
- Hm.

But I never even set foot in that hall,

this costume is my entire livelihood.

Yeah, well, you'll get it back.

Oh, well obviously I don't have a choice.

No, I had a few questions first.

Alexander gave you this building

at a very good price, didn't he?

No, it was a gift for years of loyalty.

It wasn't part of his divorce proceedings?

What do you mean?

Well, he sells you this
building at a huge discount,

reducing the value of his assets on paper

and then you sell it back to
him further down the line.

It's a nice idea, but no.
- If that were the case,

his death means that all
this is yours to keep,

you're half a million pounds up.

You're wasting your time!

Have you spoken to Maxine?

Because I've remembered something,

when I saw Xander arguing
with her ouitside,

he said he knew all about
her little side project

and that seemed to shut her up.

Hm, did you hear anything else?

No.

Perhaps I should've stayed.

Oh, God.

Were you in love with Alexander?

No!
- So you didn't tell him

you were in love with him at a work party

before he rejected you?

Hm,

yeah, of course.

You know, our friendship
really got to her.

So you didn't?

Well, I might have said
something maybe a bit like that,

you know, when I was drunk,

like you know, you're the best, you are,

I love you

and I didn't kill him out
of a crime of passion,

I didn't kill him for the money,

I didn't kill him!

♪ I didn't kill him ♪

Yeah, I'm on my way back now.

I've been talking to
Alexander's solicitor,

she says Fiona Beauvoisin
offered her a bribe last month

for information on his finances

and whether he'd changed his will.

Did he?

Not yet, but he intended to.

Hello, stranger.

Oh, hello yourself, are you alright?

Fantastic, the day is finally here.

Miss Perkins, to
what do we owe the pleasure?

They're coming home to Mama.

Thank God, they've been pining away,

it breaks my heart to see it.

We had a visit from
the police this morning

about Lara's landlord.

You're not working on that case, are you?

You know I can't get into that.

No, course,

I shouldn't have put you
on the spot, should I?

Well, the kettle's on, if you have time.

Biscuits?

What do you think I am?

Just figuring out what he sold

or what other people have
been helping themselves to.

DS Winter, I wonder if you
could speak to Holly outside?

Good idea.

I've been in contact with
Alexander's solicitor.

Very loyal, isn't she?

In that she refused your bribe?

When the person you're
divorcing plays dirty,

you have to play even dirtier.

You believed he was concealing his wealth?

Financially you come away
with more as his widow,

than as his ex-wife.

I don't see how this has any relevance

given I have an alibi,

I was outside the building with
Holly when the gun went off.

I'm not suggesting you pulled the trigger,

I imagine you're more of a delegator.

Oh, you think I paid
someone else to do it?

What a fertile imagination.

I wouldn't even call it a row,

I guess it sounded bad
to the removal guys,

but it was like two seconds.

What was it about?

Oh, he couldn't
find his cuff links

and well, no offense, but
he's a man, so straight away

he thinks I've tidied
them away or something.

Did he accuse
you of stealing them?

Not seriously,

we thought they might
have gone in the break in.

What break in?

Last week, they got in
through that window.

Sir.

Was anything taken?

Well, not that we could see,

I think we disturbed them.

We've tried to fix it, but
it's still a bit loose.

Everything okay?

Well, they had a break
in, when was it exactly?

Last Thursday night, I
thought Alexander reported it.

No, nothing was reported.

Run prints and DNA,
we might still get something.

Are those your suitcases in there?

Oh, well I can't exactly stay here, can I?

I need you to remain in the area.

I don't really have anywhere,

I was gonna see friends in Leeds.

She can stay here a few
more nights if necessary.

It's Alexander I'm angry with.

Hello, girls, I've missed you.

Fleur Perkins.

A coma?

Familial match?

Are you absolutely sure?

Everything alright?

Sarah said it was urgent.

The lab called about those blood particles

in the doll's house, we're
looking at Samuel or Finn.

I see.
- Bear in mind though,

the blood could've been there
before the shot was fired.

I saw Samuel today and he said

they packaged up the collection,

so there's every possibility...

Have you been
talking to the Wokomas

about the case?
- Of course not.

It certainly sounds like you have.

I went to collect my stuff from storage

and he mentioned packing up
the doll's houses, that's all.

Okay.

Let's be crystal clear,

I would never under any circumstances

discuss evidence with a suspect.

I'm sorry.

Genuinely.

Apology grudgingly accepted,

provided you make it up to me,

one bookcase at a time.

Looking good.

Well, it says in the instructions

that this bit requires
two people actually.

You're doing a sterling job.

I need to show Gladys
and Brenda a bit of love.

My girls.

We've been apart for far too long.

A biker gang?

They call themselves
the Ladies of Leather,

she did a road trip across
Romania with them last summer.

Right, well, in other news,
the prison got back to me,

they sent through a list of
Wesley Peters' main associates.

Anyone we should be looking at?

Well, not on the inside,

but the visitor's log's interesting,

Samuel Wokoma visited over a dozen times

and Carys Nicholson was
a regular visitor too,

the guards think that she was
Wesley Peters' girlfriend.

We'd been seeing
each other three months,

when he went to prison.

So what happened?

Well, we tried to keep things going,

but prison changed him,
actually not even prison,

it was the guilty verdict, he
just couldn't get passed it.

You talked about Alexander a lot?

You know the situation.

He turned up at the
museum on Saturday afternoon,

did you know that?

What was he doing at the museum?

So you didn't see him?
- No.

My class started at 4:30 and
I was setting up for that.

Carys, hi.

I'll be with you in a minute.

I'm gonna have to go.
- Yeah,

what's your relationship with Wesley now?

Don't have one, broke up six months ago.

So you're not in
contact with him at all?

Like I said, he's changed.

Hi there, are you okay?

Yeah, good, good, you?

Yeah, I've just got here myself.

I was taking the little
furniture out to bubble wrap it

and I caught my hand,

if there's blood in
there, it's mine not his.

Will you consent to a DNA test?

Have you got a warrant?

No, well feel free to
come back when you have.

Why were you visiting
Wesley Peters in prison?

He asked me to, once he'd
given me his side of the story.

And you believed it?

I believed that Alexander
set him up, yeah,

paid some waster to patch
up the boiler for 20 quid,

Nico someone,

my Lara wasn't even worth the
price of a proper service.

Are you ready to tell me

where you were at five
o'clock on Saturday,

because Finn here says
you were at home with him?

Well, if that's what he says.

Only Finn's friend, Erin

says that they were visiting Lara's grave

together at that time.

We went to the grave earlier,
but I was home by five.

I'm told she was very
confident about the timings.

People don't have perfect
memories, do they?

Erin's got it wrong.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!

Shh, shh, hush now, shh, shh, shh!

Okay.

Okay.

They're still going through
Alexander's computers,

but look at this.

Hi, Lara, look who I found,

it's Nico, the handy handyman, say hello.

Hello, Lara.

Nico.

Alexander sent this to
Erin on Wednesday night

with this two-word email.

"Let's talk."

Then on Friday morning,
she canceled the protest.

Didn't Wesley claim it was
someone called Nico Dearden,

who messed up the boiler?
- Exactly.

Erin seems pretty pally with him.

Doesn't she?

And door to door turned up
something interesting on her too,

guess who Alexander's
neighbor saw near the house

on the night of the break in?

It's old from when I was a first year,

I don't do that stuff anymore.

Drugs?
- Yeah.

He said I could cancel the
protest or he'd post it online,

I couldn't let that happen, I'm
trying to get into politics.

I wouldn't worry,

they seem to get away with
most things these days.

I'd be more concerned with
the breaking and entering.

What?
- Alexander's house,

we have a witness.

I didn't take anything.
- So what were you doing?

I wanted the phone, I
canceled the protest,

but I didn't trust him
to delete the video.

You thought
getting rid of the phone

would get rid of the video?
- Hm.

Because even I know it's too late

once it's been emailed.

It wasn't just the video,
there were pictures.

Later that night, we,

I let Nico take photos of me,

I wasn't sure of he deleted them.

This boy, Nico, he was a friend of yours?

Not really, he was just
someone I bumped into,

when we went out.
- So where is he now?

We lost touch, he went
too far with the drugs,

stealing to pay for
them, it was a bit much.

Finn isn't backing up your alibi,

he's still saying that he
was at home with his father.

Well, I'm sure he thinks
he's telling the truth,

but he's got it wrong.
- No,

this isn't a misunderstanding,
one of you is lying

and I'm going to find out who.

Goodnight.
- Yeah, goodnight.

Oh, thanks, perhaps we'll
manage dinner at home tomorrow.

Look at this, Erin
posted a photo of flowers

at Lara's grave on Saturday.

Is Finn in it?
- No,

and anyway, we don't know when the picture

was actually taken.

Oh, Forensics called

when I was on my way
back from getting these,

the purple thread found
in the doll's house

is a match for Jemima's costume.

Really?

The lights were still on
in the soft play center

as I drove passed just now.

It's too late to go and
talk to her, isn't it?

Come on, leave that, it'll stay warm.

We must've just missed her.

Car's still there.

It's been forced.

Well, go on, perks of
being younger and slimmer.

Anyone in here?
- I'm not sure.

I'll try and find some lights.

Jemima?

See how the cut begins high
on the side of the neck?

That suggests an attack from behind.

There's dirt in the wound

presumably transferred there by the knife.

What sort of timescale are we looking at?

Rigor has hardly set in, she's
not been dead three hours.

Any sign of her phone?

No, I did find a diary in her bag though.

The Evidence Room released her costume

back to her at 10 past four

and then she had a children's party

over near Aspern Tallow at six.

Do we know if she made it?

I spoke to the parents, they
texted to cancel the party,

because their daughter was feeling unwell,

but Jemima turned up anyway,
apparently she was angry

and then left just after six.

Find out if any of the traffic
cameras picked up her car.

Have you seen that?

Yeah, the one by the main
entrance is smashed in too.

With any luck, the Tech team

will be able to retrieve
some of the last footage.

Well, if Carys knows the passwords,

that's probably quicker, see
if we can track her down.

Hold on,

look at this,

green paint, it's under the elbows

and there are these vertical
stains at the front.

That's the exact color the
Wokomas were painting a fence

at the storage unit.

The cameras are for child protection,

so they don't record
when the center's closed.

Yeah, there you go, it stops at six p.m.

Oh, my God!

Sorry, sorry.

How long had you known her?

Couple of years, I was
having a difficult time

after my Mum died, I was her carer,

it all got a bit too much.

I started helping out at the toy shop

and Jemima was one of our regulars,

she made me laugh.

So what happened between you?

It was always about this place,

I think if we hadn't
tried to work together,

things would've been fine.

Can you think of anyone
that would want to hurt her?

She was harmless.

We came across this.

Her insurance?

Jemima's death means that
you inherit this entire place

with the mortgage paid off.

Right, well, that's news to
me, Jemima set it all up.

It leaves you very
comfortable, you and Wesley.

What's Wesley got to do with it?

You're not in a relationship with him?

No, I've told you.

I saw you together on a
doorstep less than an hour ago.

We're not together,

we're just sort of figuring things out.

Where were you this evening
between six and nine?

I was at home with Maxine,
yeah, Wesley did come round,

that was about nine, but listen to me,

I did not hurt Jemima,

she was my friend.

Morning, sir.

Yeah, yeah, she was here,

there are marks in the fresh
paint and a purple feather,

like she was leaning against the fence.

What can you see from there?

Just the first row of containers.

Well, free up some manpower,

we'll get them searched.

Do you think the Wokomas
will cooperative with that?

They won't have a choice,

we'll just turn up there with a warrant.

Sorry.

That's okay.

I had a closer look at the cut
and from the shape and depth,

I think it was made with
a fairly small blade.

How small?

Penknife maybe,

it definitely wasn't the
best tool for the job,

more like they grabbed
whatever was to hand.

Well, what about the dirt in the wound?

It's cement dust.

Introduced by the knife?

Exactly, there's quite a lot of it,

my guess would be that the knife was used

to open a bag of cement.

Any chance of narrowing
down the brand of cement?

We're working on it,

I'll let you know if
there's anything else.

Thanks.

What, you're not into
this stuff too, are you?

Came across it in the move,

I thought it could be
a useful teaching aid.

See, I can recreate crime scenes.

I have increasing reservations about you.

I'd listen to that instinct.

The phone masts put her near the house,

where they canceled the party at six p.m.,

then she's picked up again by the mast

near the Wokoma storage facility at 6:40.

Well, she's not renting a unit,

not under her own name anyway.

So what was she doing there?

It's in the middle of nowhere.

I spoke to the company
that provide their security

and they stopped the contract in April,

because Samuel kept missing payments.

The cameras are just empty boxes.

I bet their customers don't know that.

Okay, we have to treat the murders

of Alexander and Jemima as related,

until we can prove otherwise,

who benefits from both deaths?

Carys inherits the building from Jemima

and with Alexander dead, she
doesn't have to give it back.

That would all be premeditated though.

Now Alexander's death seems planned,

but it looks like Jemima
was killed in a panic,

I think she witnessed
something either at the museum

or at the storage facility.

Why didn't she tell us?

Perhaps she didn't
realize its significance

or perhaps she was afraid.

A member of the public
reported a female swimmer

disposing of something in the reservoir,

they think it's a gun.

Erin, do you know why we're here?

No.
- Open your rucksack, please.

Why?

We have reason to believe

you have just disposed of a murder weapon.

What?
- You were seen, Erin,

we know exactly where you dropped the gun.

There's a dive team on its way.

No, you've got this wrong.

Well, in that case there won't be

a scrap of your DNA on it, will there?

It's calm water, don't
assume it'll just wash away.

I haven't killed anyone.

Please.

Finn thinks his Dad's done
something really stupid,

he found a gun in the office,

he was afraid you were watching him,

so he got me to swim out with it.

Is Finn here now?

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

Think very carefully
about what you do next.

I'm sorry, I had to.

Where was your father
on Saturday afternoon,

when Alexander was killed?
- I don't know.

But he wasn't with you?

You went to Lara's grave,

was your Dad at home, when you got back?

He didn't get in till
midnight and he was upset,

he's been drinking a bit since Lara died.

Look, I was just being paranoid, okay,

he wouldn't do anything like this.

He had a gun.

He found them in house clearances,

he used to hand them in,
but sometimes he doesn't.

He keeps them in the office?
- Yeah,

he always changes the code to
the safe when he's got one.

Did your Dad ask you to lie for him, Finn?

No, no, the opposite, he was
angry when I spoke to you.

Did he ask you to get rid of the gun?

He didn't ask me to do any of this, okay,

I panicked, Erin, didn't I?

But I'm sure it was all in my head.

I don't know what to say,

I'm sorry Finn thinks I'm capable of that.

I've never fired that gun.

Do you have any more
weapons in your possession?

No.

I need you to
open your safe, please.

I just pass
them on to a gunsmith.

That's still illegal.

Well, what am I meant to do?

We're still covering the
costs of the civil case,

we're drowning in here.

Do you recognize this woman?

Who is she?

Jemima Starling, friend of Alexander's,

she was murdered yesterday.

Sounds like she should've chosen

her friends more carefully.

She was here last
night, any idea why?

Like I said, I don't know her.

Where were you last night?

I was here till about five,

then I bought dinner, went home,

I've got a supermarket
receipt here somewhere,

if that helps.

Thank you.

Are you ready to tell me where you were

when Alexander was killed?

No.

Samuel, either you're guilty

or you know who's guilty

or you're just wasting
my time, which is it?

No comment.

Sir.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

The fingerprints found on the
window at Alexander's house

have flagged up a match in the database.

But we already know who broke in.

But there were several sets
of prints found on the frame,

one set were a match for a police officer

dismissed for misconduct in 2016,

Sergeant Leanne Carpenter

or as she now calls
herself, Holly Ackroyd.

Senior Officer Met Firearms Unit.

She's using a fake identity.

And she's a trained sniper.

Go through.

Let's go.

Leanne Carpenter,
four years in Firearms

before being dismissed for taking a bribe.

I'm appealing that.

And in the meantime you're what,

some sort of gun for hire?

I'm a private detective, Fiona
paid me to date Alexander

and find out how he
was hiding their money.

Alexander was shot, you're
a skilled markswoman

and you've been lying through your teeth.

I wanted to be straight
with you after he died,

but Fiona was worried
about how it would look,

she paid me to keep the Holly thing going.

I'm gonna ask you again, Leanne,

where were you when Alexander was killed?

I was in the carpark with Fiona,

I went out there to give
her Alexander's cuff links,

she needed things from the house to sell.

Look, she didn't pay me to kill him,

but if you told me she paid someone else,

I could believe it.

What's going on?

Oh, we've been having a chat with Leanne,

she's been very helpful.

I've told them everything.

It's fine, we haven't done anything wrong.

Alexander wasn't playing fair,
so I did what I had to do.

Are you aware that Jemima Starling

was murdered last night?

No.

I mean, obviously that's awful.

Jemima was in a corridor at the museum,

when your husband was killed,
did she see either of you?

I don't know, but if she did,

she just saw us leaving the building.

Where were you last night?

Oh, I was here all afternoon

and evening as was Leanne.

So once again your only
alibi is each other.

I'd like you gentlemen to leave,

these questions are absurd.
- Are they?

With Alexander dead,
you inherit everything,

you've got exactly what you wanted.

What I wanted was a family!

I wanted a husband who
liked and respected me,

who thought that I was enough!

But I didn't get that,

24 years and all I had left
to fight for was a posh house,

so I fought for it and
I don't feel the need

to apologize for any of that!

Whoever killed Jemima didn't plan to do it

with a small penknife,
they reacted in the moment,

because she suddenly became a threat, why?

Maybe she put two and two
together about something.

So what did she know?

It was Jemima who told us
about Alexander's argument

with Maxine, wasn't it,
she saw them outside?

Yeah, but she didn't hear the content,

only that Alexander referred to Maxine

as having a little side project.

Any idea what that is?

She's got the shop, the museum,

she sells her miniatures online.

Would you call any of those
a little side project?

This is her main seller page,

she ships all over the world.

Carys was packaging things to go to Tokyo.

Hm.

Mainly five star reviews,

except this one back in march,

collector accuses her of
misselling a Jack-in-the-box.

How do you do that, no spring?

She claims that it's a
one-of-a-kind prototype

from the 1930s, but then the collector

found there was one on display here.

Ah, the only example of
this prototype in existence.

Half the things she's selling here

are identical to the ones in these cases.

She's making and selling fake antiques.

I most certainly am not.

Every item I sell is 100% authentic,

it's these that are the fakes.

You've been stealing the exhibits?

Why not?

Doesn't make a dot of
difference to the visitors,

they have no respect for the collection,

better to have replicas
here and let the originals

go to collectors, who appreciate them.

And Alexander found out about this?

He didn't care as long as he got his rent.

But it's your reputation,

Alexander wanted you out of that shop.

Was he blackmailing you, is
that what Jemima overheard?

Carys has told me what
happened to that poor woman,

so I know where you're going with this

and no,

I did not commit a double murder

over a replica Jack-in-the-box.

Nine millimeter semi-automatic
from World War II,

it's not our murder weapon.

There's definitely no way?

The bullet that killed
Alexander was 11 millimeter,

you couldn't even load it in this.

It doesn't let the
Wokomas off the hook though,

they have access to guns,

perhaps Finn just got
rid of the wrong one.

Here we go.
- You've got something?

Whoever wiped it on the outside

forgot to think about the
magazine, it's given me a match,

Wesley Peters, he a person of interest?

He very much is, thank you.

I'm needed back at the storage unit,

call me as soon as you find Wesley Peters.

Sir, so Wesley Peters has got a cottage,

it's in the middle of nowhere,

he's got it set up like a torture room.

Sir?

That boy who Wesley
blames for Lara's death,

I think we've found him.

Wesley.

Just.

Uh!

Uh!

Uh!

Uh!

Don't make this worse.

With this level of decomposition,

we're talking a good few weeks,

although actually that patch
of lividity doesn't make sense

with the way he's lying on his back.

You think he's been moved?
- I'd say so.

Not much sign of blowfly activity.

The most likely scenario is that the body

was kept tightly wrapped in
something for a period of time

and then moved here quite recently.

I'll call you once we've got
him back to the mortuary.

I know how this looks,

but I swear, I was never
going to use the gun.

I didn't even have ammunition.

But you admit that you
brought it to the museum?

Only to frighten him,

I was gonna wind him up,

until he followed me out into the carpark,

I had the van ready for him.

So your plan was to force him into the van

and bring him here and
then torture him on camera?

I needed him to say on
tape that he set me up,

that I never should have gone to prison.

Did Samuel Wokoma
provide you with the gun?

Yeah, I gave it back to him the next day,

but that's all he did,
okay, this was my idea.

And Nico Dearden?
- What about him?

His body's just been discovered
in a storage facility.

That's it then, isn't it?

What do you mean?

Alexander and Nico were the only people

who knew for sure I was telling the truth,

if they're dead, what chance have I got?

I'm going to have to arrest him.

Let me talk to him.

It's not your job.

Fine, get him out of there
and start grilling him,

he's going to say, "No comment," isn't he?

Five minutes.

The diet's going well then?

It starts tomorrow.
- Yeah, me too.

I hear you've been digging your heels in.

Alexander Beauvoisin wasn't interested

in justice for my daughter

and I'm expected to help
get justice for him, huh.

Can't imagine what it must've been like

getting that knock at the door,

being told your little girl was gone.

Yeah.

Thing is Jemima has parents,

they're in Devon apparently.

A few hours ago a Family Liaison Officer

knocked on their door,

it's just starting for them.

It's wrong that you didn't
get justice for Lara,

it's very wrong,

but don't stand in the way
of that for Jemima's family.

Give them this, tell
them I got there early.

I don't understand.

When Lara was tiny,

she begged and begged me
to take her to a ballet,

a proper one where you've
got to dress up and all that,

I said we'd do it for her 21st birthday,

but it sounded like my worst nightmare,

she knew I was putting her off.

Then the older she got, it
became like this joke between us

like how many years till I had to deliver.

She would've,

she would've turned 21 this week.

That's where you were on Saturday?

I was sitting in a box
at the Royal Opera House.

Keeping your promise.

Royal Opera House, Saturday night,

give them a call.

Wesley planned to torture a
confession out of Alexander,

but he didn't kill him, do you buy it?

I'm not sure, the gun
with his fingerprints on

isn't actually the murder weapon

and if we're looking at him for Nico too,

then he was in prison.

But he could've ordered

Nico's execution from inside

and then killed Alexander
as soon as he was released.

So how does Jemima fit in?

Nico's keycard was
used at 6:38 last night

around the same time that
the mast picked her phone up.

This all begins with Nico, doesn't it?

A fragment of wood in the entry wound.

That will almost certainly
be the same gun as Alexander,

but what I wanted to show you was this,

you see that gray dust in his hair?

It's on his clothes too, I
think it might be cement dust.

Same kind as Jemima?

I've sent a sample down to the lab,

they managed to match the
stuff in Jemima's throat wound

with a brand called Alton Ready Mixed.

So Nico was buried in cement
for weeks and then moved.

And probably wrapped in plastic first,

there was a small piece stuck to his arm.

We need to find that burial place.

I'll leave that with you.

What the...
- Yes, quite.

Dr. Perkins plans to
terrorize her students

with her basement of horrors.

I'm a well respected teacher
and his name's Clive.

We need to go back to the museum.

Maxine is making a new one
of these in her workshop,

an exact replica,

except it's not,

I'm sure the new one
doesn't have that cellar.

Hm.

She needs this version gone,
because it tells everyone

that the shop she lives
in has a hidden cellar.

Excuse me.

Hold on!

You can't just come in here and.

And what, Maxine?

Alton Ready Mixed.

I think you need to start talking.

No, then I will.

You had a gun, an unusual thing, Swedish,

where did you get it?

It was my grandfather's,

I never thought I'd have to use it.

We'd had these break ins,
it made me feel safe.

You did use it though, didn't you?

I was on my own, I heard breaking glass,

I wasn't even sure the thing was working.

He was there in the doorway.

Then when he was lying there on the floor,

I could see his face,

he was a boy.

Carys was away, so I kept the
shop closed the whole weekend

and I sat there with him,

if I didn't move, it
wasn't really happening.

But at some point he
ended up in your cellar

covered in cement.

I thought as long as I
could keep living here,

I could make sure nobody went down there.

We know that Alexander was
killed with the same gun.

He started demanding access,

he wanted to survey the whole building.

Meaning your only option was to kill him?

I tried everything to put him off,

there was no way to get the body out,

he was gonna find him on Sunday.

So you killed Alexander, but
then you still moved Nico.

I'd already started digging
him out of the concrete,

I couldn't live like that anymore.

I found a card to the container place

in his wallet.

How did you carry him on your own?

It wasn't easy.

Then how did you get rid of the gun?

I threw it into the bushes.

And yet an entire search team
have been unable to find it.

Where's Carys?

She had nothing to do with this,

she was running one of
her kiddies' classes

in front of a dozen parents
including your wife.

Maxine, where is she?

Ah, oh, thanks.

Sarah, Sarah!

In here.

Carys is sorting Betty's birthday for her.

Can you take Betty to
play in her room, please?

John?
- And stay with her?

Betty, come on, darling.

Come on.

Maxine's under arrest with our colleagues.

She's saying she did it all, isn't she?

That's what she'd like us to believe.

All Maxine's guilty of is being afraid.

She acted in self defense.

Were you there when she shot Nico?

I'd been away,

when I got back, she was on
the floor of her workshop,

I don't think she'd eaten for two days.

I made her some food, gave
her some sleeping tablets,

then I did the rest.

I got some plastic sheeting,

wrapped him up, but it wasn't enough.

You buried him in concrete,

because he was starting to smell

and Alexander?

I tried to talk to him, believe me,

I begged him, if there'd
been any other way,

but the man was a bully,
Maxine was falling apart,

so I had a choice,

let her die in prison or do something.

I was back in two minutes.

But the whole area was searched,

how did you get rid of the.

The balloons,

they were everywhere.

I only hurt Alexander to protect Maxine.

You still needed to move Nico.

Wesley said how bad
things were with Samuel,

that he'd stopped paying for security,

so when I found Nico's keycard,
I thought it could work.

But Jemima was watching?

She got it into
her head that I'd poached

some children's party booking
from her, so she followed me.

She'd been going on about
me stealing stuff from her

and she called me to have it out.

What were you doing there?

Was there something in that rug?

Because it looked like...
- Please,

just don't.

What have you done?
- I'm gonna leave now,

give you some time to calm down.

Uh!

Uh!

I've killed my friend and
she's done nothing wrong, I,

I wish I'd just,

I wish I'd been thinking more clearly or...

You were thinking clearly enough

to smash the CCTV cameras,

you wanted to imply that
whoever killed Jemima

thought they were recorded.

I didn't go looking for this,

I was trying to protect
Maxine, you don't understand.

You keep saying you did
all of this for her,

but she's just your boss.

She's not just my boss.

Jemima didn't tell you?

Tell us what?

How I met Maxine,

how I was sat on the edge of
a motorway bridge at five a.m.

and I did not care.

She was out walking her
dog, complete stranger,

she took me home, gave me some food,

didn't make me talk,

we just sat painting one of
her little houses together.

We sat there for hours

and I felt safe.

What's gonna happen to her?

Oh, Fleur, it's just lovely.

Looks like you're settled for a while now.

I think so, it's not a bad area,

lots of interesting
work for a pathologist.

Where's John?
- Went inside for a beer.

He's been gone quite a while actually.

No man can resist the siren call.

Look, Mummy.

Oh!

The dolly must have got one of
those strawberry bubble baths

like you've got, let's get you a drink.

Well, this is the only way to travel,

why did nobody tell me?

You are too old for a midlife crisis.

I'm only human.

Nobody's perfect,

are they, Paddy?

Off we go!

Woo!

Woo!

Woo!
