1
00:00:02,767 --> 00:00:06,237
If you think a banana is a banana,
2
00:00:06,407 --> 00:00:08,841
try unzipping a Tonga.
3
00:00:09,927 --> 00:00:13,522
They are firm, but not too firm.
4
00:00:15,367 --> 00:00:16,800
ARGH!
5
00:00:19,767 --> 00:00:22,235
Ripe, but not too ripe.
6
00:00:26,167 --> 00:00:28,158
Delicious...
7
00:00:28,327 --> 00:00:30,682
but not too ripe.
8
00:00:31,847 --> 00:00:34,839
In fact, so tasty down
to the last bite...
9
00:00:36,487 --> 00:00:39,797
...you'll see why they're
everyone's top banana.
10
00:00:39,967 --> 00:00:42,117
Well, almost everyone's.
11
00:00:46,967 --> 00:00:50,676
What can I say? There
isn't a laugh in the show!
12
00:00:50,847 --> 00:00:53,042
For a start, I'm barely on the screen.
13
00:00:53,207 --> 00:00:58,804
Four close-ups And there's no trigger
points because you never cut in for the joke!
14
00:00:58,967 --> 00:01:02,243
Jack, I don't have time
for one of these lectures.
15
00:01:02,407 --> 00:01:04,284
I want to watch my son growing up.
16
00:01:04,447 --> 00:01:08,918
Plus, the funniest sight gag we
seem to have lost, for some reason!
17
00:01:09,087 --> 00:01:15,526
Jack, jokes that were acceptable 20-30 years
ago, today we have to be more sensitive.
18
00:01:15,687 --> 00:01:20,363
And the image of a man parking
his bike between a girl's buttocks,
19
00:01:20,527 --> 00:01:23,121
- in the current climate...
- Isn't PC?
20
00:01:23,287 --> 00:01:26,245
Is that what you're
telling me? But this is?
21
00:01:26,407 --> 00:01:28,443
Scott, it's a pile of crap!
22
00:01:28,607 --> 00:01:32,646
To me, comedy is about
truth! It's about reality!
23
00:01:32,807 --> 00:01:36,959
In reality, there's no way a
bicycle would slip on a banana skin!
24
00:01:37,127 --> 00:01:38,958
You lose your audience!
25
00:01:39,127 --> 00:01:43,006
I disagree. They'll buy into
that because it's surreal.
26
00:01:43,167 --> 00:01:48,366
The essence of the campaign is that we take
Jack Holiday, legendary king of slapstick,
27
00:01:48,527 --> 00:01:51,041
subvert the form that made you famous...
28
00:01:51,207 --> 00:01:55,723
This whole discussion is academic
because the client will hack it to shreds.
29
00:01:55,887 --> 00:01:59,482
Stop worrying about it and
bank the cheques. I gotta go.
30
00:01:59,647 --> 00:02:02,878
I'll call you next week. Goodbye, Jack.
31
00:02:20,487 --> 00:02:23,479
"DANSE MACABRE" BY SAINT-SAËNS)
32
00:02:54,407 --> 00:02:55,920
Good morning, Kirsten.
33
00:02:57,767 --> 00:03:00,964
- How's it looking?
- Ask your husband.
34
00:03:15,847 --> 00:03:17,997
Dare I ask how it went?
35
00:03:24,087 --> 00:03:25,566
Not good.
36
00:03:26,887 --> 00:03:29,720
Well... it gets worse, I'm afraid.
37
00:03:30,807 --> 00:03:33,924
They're releasing
Rokesmith at noon tomorrow.
38
00:03:44,607 --> 00:03:49,397
Finally, I... I want to
thank my sister Rachel...
39
00:03:50,487 --> 00:03:53,843
who never for one second
doubted my innocence.
40
00:03:54,007 --> 00:03:59,081
And everyone who has campaigned for my
release. Miss Magellan in particular,
41
00:03:59,247 --> 00:04:02,637
for bringing this whole case
back to national attention.
42
00:04:02,807 --> 00:04:06,800
I think it's worth remembering,
if there was a death penalty,
43
00:04:06,967 --> 00:04:09,322
Alan Rokesmith would have hanged.
44
00:04:09,487 --> 00:04:12,479
And if he had been
hanged nine years ago,
45
00:04:12,647 --> 00:04:16,401
it's safe to say he wouldn't
look too good in these photos.
46
00:04:16,567 --> 00:04:20,845
Such was the media's obsession
with Jennifer Holiday's murder,
47
00:04:21,007 --> 00:04:25,637
Mr Rokesmith was tried, convicted
and sentenced by the tabloid press,
48
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:29,880
who, as usual, proved as
inaccurate as they are illiterate.
49
00:04:30,047 --> 00:04:32,561
Can you spell that?
50
00:04:32,727 --> 00:04:37,323
Right. And I find it hard to credit
that even as we arrived today,
51
00:04:37,487 --> 00:04:42,003
this cheque was pressed
into my hands for £150,000,
52
00:04:42,167 --> 00:04:45,204
to be divided between us
for my brother's story.
53
00:04:45,367 --> 00:04:48,962
This from the very people
who helped to put him away.
54
00:04:49,127 --> 00:04:52,199
Do you think any of us
is interested in money?!
55
00:04:58,167 --> 00:05:01,443
Money can't restore nine
years of a man's life.
56
00:05:02,327 --> 00:05:09,199
All I ask now is the peace and privacy
to go away and rebuild my self-respect.
57
00:05:27,047 --> 00:05:29,038
Anyone at home?
58
00:05:29,207 --> 00:05:30,526
Mum?
59
00:05:31,287 --> 00:05:33,278
There's someone to see you.
60
00:06:09,807 --> 00:06:13,117
So, Alan... where to from here?
61
00:06:14,087 --> 00:06:16,043
I've got it all planned.
62
00:06:16,207 --> 00:06:19,199
I'll rent a little
cottage on the Welsh coast.
63
00:06:19,367 --> 00:06:22,165
Away from the press and the media
64
00:06:22,327 --> 00:06:24,522
and the locks and keys.
65
00:06:25,487 --> 00:06:29,196
Take a boat out, maybe.
Do a bit of fishing.
66
00:06:29,367 --> 00:06:33,121
Just... breathe in the freedom.
67
00:06:36,487 --> 00:06:41,515
It's funny, nine years
staring at a wall,
68
00:06:41,687 --> 00:06:43,803
you do a lot of thinking.
69
00:06:44,767 --> 00:06:48,396
About guilt... and innocence...
70
00:06:49,607 --> 00:06:51,325
...about your life.
71
00:06:52,167 --> 00:06:56,080
In a strange way, it
helps you to find yourself.
72
00:07:02,207 --> 00:07:04,960
It's affected him, there's no question.
73
00:07:05,127 --> 00:07:08,802
These last two weeks since
they let that man out!
74
00:07:09,807 --> 00:07:12,719
He blames himself. He always has done.
75
00:07:12,887 --> 00:07:18,757
It happened. If he'd been here that weekend,
if he hadn't gone to LA for that casting?
76
00:07:18,927 --> 00:07:20,599
Lf... IF!
77
00:07:20,767 --> 00:07:22,280
Lf.
78
00:07:23,327 --> 00:07:26,239
When I rang him up to break the news,
79
00:07:26,407 --> 00:07:30,161
God help me if I ever have
to live through that again!
80
00:07:31,727 --> 00:07:33,718
He's not in the house anywhere.
81
00:07:33,887 --> 00:07:35,639
- The terrace?
- No.
82
00:07:35,807 --> 00:07:39,880
- Maybe he's gone for a walk?
- Not alone. Something's happened!
83
00:08:06,847 --> 00:08:10,157
We've picked up something
by a locked door.
84
00:08:10,327 --> 00:08:14,400
That's the nuclear shelter. No
one's been down there in years!
85
00:08:18,407 --> 00:08:21,240
Locked on the other side.
Can we get a crowbar?
86
00:08:57,727 --> 00:09:00,082
How will we get inside this thing?
87
00:09:00,247 --> 00:09:02,238
It won't be easy.
88
00:09:43,887 --> 00:09:46,401
Right, nobody touch anything.
89
00:10:05,367 --> 00:10:08,837
- Who's done this? - I'm
afraid it was self-inflicted.
90
00:10:09,007 --> 00:10:10,360
He can't have!
91
00:10:10,527 --> 00:10:12,836
Look, perhaps it's best if you just...
92
00:10:13,007 --> 00:10:17,319
For God's sake, Jack didn't
shoot himself, he couldn't have!
93
00:10:17,487 --> 00:10:21,526
He had crippling arthritis.
Someone has set this up!
94
00:10:21,687 --> 00:10:25,521
Mrs Holiday, we are 30 feet underground.
95
00:10:26,687 --> 00:10:31,556
You saw how the doors were bolted.
It's a simple physical fact.
96
00:10:31,727 --> 00:10:36,596
Nobody could possibly have killed
your husband and then left this room.
97
00:11:06,367 --> 00:11:08,119
Jonathan Creek.
98
00:11:08,967 --> 00:11:11,845
Oh, hi. How are you?
99
00:11:13,247 --> 00:11:16,637
Oh, you know, bits and
pieces. Usual nonsense.
100
00:11:17,687 --> 00:11:20,520
No, I'm not. The show's
not on at the moment.
101
00:11:20,687 --> 00:11:23,121
Adam's got a disease of the inner ear.
102
00:11:23,287 --> 00:11:27,758
What do you call that thing where
you lose your balance? Labyrinthitis?
103
00:11:27,927 --> 00:11:33,320
It suddenly came on. Walked onstage, round
of applause, fell in the orchestra pit.
104
00:11:33,487 --> 00:11:36,524
Had to carry him to the
ambulance on a xylophone.
105
00:11:36,687 --> 00:11:38,643
It was a right old performance.
106
00:11:39,487 --> 00:11:43,605
Took him to hospital, gave him a
brain scan, didn't find anything!
107
00:11:44,527 --> 00:11:47,041
So he's got to stay in bed and rest.
108
00:11:47,207 --> 00:11:49,437
So, what have you been up to?
109
00:11:50,327 --> 00:11:51,646
Sorry?
110
00:11:52,487 --> 00:11:54,398
Tomorrow? What time?
111
00:11:55,487 --> 00:11:57,478
I'll just look at the diary.
112
00:11:59,527 --> 00:12:01,358
No, that's fine.
113
00:12:02,007 --> 00:12:03,326
Yeah.
114
00:12:03,487 --> 00:12:05,284
Sounds great.
115
00:12:07,047 --> 00:12:09,402
OK, see you then.
116
00:12:10,207 --> 00:12:11,560
Bye.
117
00:12:48,287 --> 00:12:51,916
Morning. You're useful to have around.
118
00:12:52,087 --> 00:12:55,841
This is illegal. I'm just
curious to see how it...
119
00:12:56,007 --> 00:12:57,326
Ah.
120
00:12:57,487 --> 00:12:59,557
I see what you're about.
121
00:12:59,727 --> 00:13:03,197
So how are things in
investigative journalism?
122
00:13:03,367 --> 00:13:06,120
Yeah, still earning a
crust here and there.
123
00:13:06,287 --> 00:13:07,606
And Trevor?
124
00:13:07,767 --> 00:13:10,156
Trevor and I were annoying each other,
125
00:13:10,327 --> 00:13:13,478
so I did the mature thing
and burnt his underpants.
126
00:13:13,647 --> 00:13:16,719
Listen, since we spoke,
I've had a thought.
127
00:13:16,887 --> 00:13:22,166
How do you fancy a drive to the coast?
Flush out the carbon monoxide with sea air?
128
00:13:22,327 --> 00:13:26,286
It's tempting, but I'll have
to put this back on once I've...
129
00:13:26,447 --> 00:13:28,722
...unlocked it.
130
00:13:30,967 --> 00:13:32,844
42 seconds.
131
00:13:36,007 --> 00:13:37,804
- Interesting.
- Yeah.
132
00:13:37,967 --> 00:13:39,844
I'm very impressed.
133
00:13:40,007 --> 00:13:43,716
- Takes me that long with the key.
- I can imagine.
134
00:13:44,687 --> 00:13:46,678
Where did you get this?
135
00:13:46,847 --> 00:13:51,125
Sorry, good journalist. I
have to protect my sources.
136
00:13:51,287 --> 00:13:56,156
They're brilliant. You can park anywhere
in London. Pop it in the boot for me.
137
00:14:00,967 --> 00:14:03,197
I nearly rang you.
138
00:14:04,687 --> 00:14:08,885
I'd get as far as the last digit
and something would stop me.
139
00:14:09,047 --> 00:14:14,280
I think it was the thought of being sucked
into another grisly murder investigation.
140
00:14:15,287 --> 00:14:17,562
You know how you always fear the worst?
141
00:14:21,367 --> 00:14:23,403
- Stop this car.
- Jonathan...
142
00:14:23,567 --> 00:14:26,240
Flush out the carbon monoxide
143
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:30,923
Just hear me out, then if you're
not interested, I'll forget it, OK?
144
00:14:31,927 --> 00:14:34,236
You know Jack Holiday shot himself?
145
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:38,002
- Yes. Only thing he did that made me laugh!
- The man's dead!
146
00:14:38,167 --> 00:14:39,964
Won't stop him overacting!
147
00:14:40,127 --> 00:14:45,326
At one of his homes, down on the south
coast, where he'd had a nuclear bunker put in,
148
00:14:45,487 --> 00:14:50,003
around the time of Afghanistan. No
suicide note, but he was depressed.
149
00:14:50,167 --> 00:14:55,685
Due to the man who strangled his first wife
being released from prison with your assistance.
150
00:14:55,847 --> 00:14:59,203
Alan Rokesmith didn't
strangle Jennifer Holiday.
151
00:14:59,367 --> 00:15:02,404
He was the victim of a
miscarriage of justice.
152
00:15:02,567 --> 00:15:08,278
He was found leaning over the corpse, in an
alley, with a length of cord in his hands.
153
00:15:08,447 --> 00:15:12,406
Exactly! On that flimsy
evidence, they put him away!
154
00:15:12,567 --> 00:15:15,400
Right, a brief history lesson.
155
00:15:15,567 --> 00:15:21,915
The night she's murdered, Rokesmith is
in the next street with a prostitute.
156
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:27,525
They hear a scream. Rokesmith runs to
see what's happened, the slapper hops it.
157
00:15:27,687 --> 00:15:31,919
Rokesmith is at the body
untying a rope from her neck,
158
00:15:32,087 --> 00:15:34,885
when the coppers arrive to nick him.
159
00:15:35,047 --> 00:15:39,484
Circumstantial evidence! He's put
away for a crime he didn't commit!
160
00:15:39,647 --> 00:15:45,005
It's taken his sister five years to find
that prostitute and get her to come forward.
161
00:15:46,127 --> 00:15:50,484
She showed me the evidence and
I kept pestering and publicising
162
00:15:50,647 --> 00:15:54,799
until the Home Office finally
saw sense and granted a reprieve.
163
00:15:54,967 --> 00:15:58,164
All right. Can I ask
where all this is leading?
164
00:15:59,087 --> 00:16:01,078
To the glove compartment.
165
00:16:03,327 --> 00:16:08,720
It came yesterday from Holiday's second
wife, who blames me for his death!
166
00:16:08,887 --> 00:16:15,156
As far as she is concerned, Rokesmith was
guilty and I set him free to kill again.
167
00:16:15,327 --> 00:16:17,716
"You meddling misguided cow.
168
00:16:18,767 --> 00:16:24,080
"Thanks to your 'liberal'
pamphleteering, my husband is dead.
169
00:16:24,247 --> 00:16:29,321
"You're no more than scum, like all
reporters, an oily egotistical parasite... "
170
00:16:29,487 --> 00:16:32,923
Yes, all right! You needn't
read it with such relish!
171
00:16:33,087 --> 00:16:35,123
It's the last bit.
172
00:16:36,327 --> 00:16:41,606
"I know Jack was murdered and I intend to
find out how, no matter how long it takes.
173
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:44,918
"May you rot in...
Hull Kingston Rovers?"
174
00:16:45,087 --> 00:16:47,078
Kirsten Rogers.
175
00:16:47,247 --> 00:16:49,636
She used to be his secretary.
176
00:16:50,567 --> 00:16:54,719
They got married about a year
after the death of his first wife.
177
00:16:54,887 --> 00:16:58,516
Look, Jack Holiday killed himself.
178
00:16:58,687 --> 00:17:03,124
The whole thing is self-evident,
but I just need to confirm it.
179
00:17:03,287 --> 00:17:06,404
To prove there's no other
possible explanation.
180
00:17:07,327 --> 00:17:09,522
How come I get roped into this?
181
00:17:09,687 --> 00:17:13,646
Because there's no way she'll
let me start poking round.
182
00:17:13,807 --> 00:17:16,446
Besides, this is your specialist field.
183
00:17:16,607 --> 00:17:18,802
A body in a locked room.
184
00:17:18,967 --> 00:17:20,286
Please!
185
00:17:20,447 --> 00:17:23,803
- For my integrity and peace of mind?
- I don't think so.
186
00:17:23,967 --> 00:17:25,878
- For £100?
- Stop this car.
187
00:17:26,047 --> 00:17:28,686
Jonathan, where's your sense of justice?
188
00:17:28,847 --> 00:17:31,884
Stop the car. I demand
you stop the car now!
189
00:17:56,607 --> 00:17:58,438
Where do we start?
190
00:17:58,607 --> 00:18:00,438
OK, here's the script.
191
00:18:00,607 --> 00:18:05,727
I give Kirsten a ring on your behalf,
explaining who you are, etc, etc.
192
00:18:05,887 --> 00:18:11,120
You've read about the case, offering your
professional services, if she's interested,
193
00:18:11,287 --> 00:18:14,006
in checking out that
underground chamber.
194
00:18:14,167 --> 00:18:17,079
- What if she's not interested?
- She was.
195
00:18:26,847 --> 00:18:29,236
Welcome to the House of Fun
196
00:18:30,047 --> 00:18:34,916
Good luck. If you need me,
I'll be talking to a builder.
197
00:18:35,967 --> 00:18:37,923
Lovely thing about my husband,
198
00:18:38,087 --> 00:18:42,956
even now, no one can say the name Jack
Holiday without breaking into a smile.
199
00:18:44,527 --> 00:18:49,396
One of the obituaries said, "He
left behind a legacy of laughter. "
200
00:18:50,727 --> 00:18:54,879
A heritage of hilarity that
will survive us all, Mrs Holiday.
201
00:18:57,927 --> 00:19:03,126
This is the outfit he wore
in "Jack the Lad", 1967.
202
00:19:04,087 --> 00:19:06,237
The actual outfit!
203
00:19:06,407 --> 00:19:07,726
Wow!
204
00:19:09,047 --> 00:19:12,278
The trousers were weighted
round the waistband
205
00:19:12,447 --> 00:19:16,281
to make sure they fell down
to the ankles in one movement.
206
00:19:16,447 --> 00:19:20,725
If they stopped halfway, or bunched
round the knees, it wasn't funny!
207
00:19:21,647 --> 00:19:27,005
Amazing! You don't realise the
scientific precision that's involved.
208
00:19:40,527 --> 00:19:45,521
That was with his first wife, Jennifer,
on the set of "Jack to a King".
209
00:19:45,687 --> 00:19:47,359
1962.
210
00:19:47,527 --> 00:19:49,643
There was a slight age difference.
211
00:19:50,527 --> 00:19:54,281
He proposed to her when
she was seven. She accepted.
212
00:19:54,847 --> 00:19:58,840
He moved to America for 15
years and, when he came back,
213
00:19:59,007 --> 00:20:01,043
he kept his promise!
214
00:20:02,727 --> 00:20:04,957
The stuff of fairy tales.
215
00:20:07,167 --> 00:20:09,681
I was on the payroll
then as his secretary.
216
00:20:09,847 --> 00:20:13,635
There wasn't a happier marriage
in show business, until...
217
00:20:14,527 --> 00:20:17,166
He started getting cranky phone calls.
218
00:20:17,487 --> 00:20:21,878
Death threats and what have you.
Jack was scared out of his wits!
219
00:20:22,047 --> 00:20:25,164
He was a mass of neuroses
at the best of times.
220
00:20:25,327 --> 00:20:29,605
One minute it was the collapsing
universe, the next, nuclear war.
221
00:20:29,767 --> 00:20:31,598
I remember when he went to LA,
222
00:20:31,767 --> 00:20:37,046
his last words to Jennifer were begging
her to take care, leave nothing to chance!
223
00:20:37,207 --> 00:20:42,918
Three days later, she'd been to the theatre,
she was taking a shortcut back to her car...
224
00:20:49,447 --> 00:20:56,319
Through the grief and the
pain... we became closer.
225
00:20:59,367 --> 00:21:03,326
By the mid '80s, his career was all
but over. The body had seized up.
226
00:21:03,487 --> 00:21:07,366
He'd lost the use of his hands,
the fingers wouldn't even bend!
227
00:21:07,527 --> 00:21:10,724
That's how I know he
couldn't have fired that gun!
228
00:21:10,887 --> 00:21:15,642
And why would this happen now, just
after that man's released, unless...
229
00:21:21,567 --> 00:21:26,561
Any light you can shed on the possible
mechanics of this, I'd be grateful.
230
00:21:26,727 --> 00:21:31,323
I'll get Oliver to take you down.
He's been with Jack longer than anyone.
231
00:21:31,487 --> 00:21:34,399
I can't face that room again just yet.
232
00:21:37,367 --> 00:21:41,440
Access to the shelter is down
a stairwell 12 metres deep.
233
00:21:41,607 --> 00:21:46,158
That's the minimum for any protection
from a thermo-nuclear blast.
234
00:21:46,607 --> 00:21:50,043
The contractors have built
several round the country.
235
00:21:50,207 --> 00:21:52,641
It's based loosely on the Swiss model.
236
00:21:52,807 --> 00:21:57,722
Mr Holiday's would have been more robust,
because it's set inside the cliff rock.
237
00:21:57,887 --> 00:22:02,642
It had to be hollowed out with jack
hammers and God knows what else!
238
00:22:02,807 --> 00:22:05,082
It was an 18-month job.
239
00:22:05,247 --> 00:22:11,117
So, the chances of someone
tunnelling or breaking into it...?
240
00:22:11,287 --> 00:22:14,040
Are absolutely nil, believe me.
241
00:22:14,207 --> 00:22:16,801
You're looking at an impenetrable cube,
242
00:22:16,967 --> 00:22:22,041
floors, walls, ceiling, all cast
from reinforced concrete 50 cms thick,
243
00:22:22,207 --> 00:22:26,041
lined with bricks and
mortar, and a single door,
244
00:22:26,207 --> 00:22:28,675
lined with solid armour plate,
245
00:22:28,847 --> 00:22:31,805
with bolts and deadlocks
all on the inside.
246
00:22:58,287 --> 00:22:59,606
Hmm.
247
00:23:10,807 --> 00:23:12,798
When did you say it was built?
248
00:23:12,967 --> 00:23:18,883
Early '80s, when the Soviets went into
Kabul. Everyone thought the lot was going up.
249
00:23:19,047 --> 00:23:23,757
By the time they'd finished the basic
construction, it'd all cooled off.
250
00:23:23,927 --> 00:23:25,724
Jack told them to forget it.
251
00:23:25,887 --> 00:23:29,038
- They hadn't even put the doors in.
- Or the lavatory.
252
00:23:30,647 --> 00:23:33,480
His body was just through here.
253
00:23:36,927 --> 00:23:40,556
Head pointing that way,
gun in his right hand.
254
00:24:04,207 --> 00:24:09,327
That would have been the toilet. Got
as far as the pipework and that was it.
255
00:24:27,927 --> 00:24:30,680
Quite a majestic lavatory.
256
00:24:30,847 --> 00:24:32,838
That was Jack.
257
00:24:46,127 --> 00:24:47,446
Odd.
258
00:24:47,607 --> 00:24:51,236
Box says 40 watt, bulb inside is 100.
259
00:24:54,727 --> 00:24:57,400
Anyone else know about this shelter?
260
00:24:57,567 --> 00:25:00,843
Can't be many who didn't.
He loved showing it off.
261
00:25:01,007 --> 00:25:05,046
He was like a big boy... a
boy with a train set sometimes.
262
00:25:13,247 --> 00:25:15,522
So, what do we think?
263
00:25:15,687 --> 00:25:18,485
It's something to do
with the door, isn't it?
264
00:25:18,647 --> 00:25:21,081
Cards on the table, Mrs Holiday,
265
00:25:21,247 --> 00:25:23,397
that door is as solid as a rock.
266
00:25:23,567 --> 00:25:28,561
From the way it's locked, nothing
could have passed through afterwards.
267
00:25:30,807 --> 00:25:32,684
Seven messages.
268
00:25:32,847 --> 00:25:35,281
Six of them fax signals!
269
00:25:36,687 --> 00:25:41,158
How do you get this thing to
fast forward? Is it Star... 0...?
270
00:25:41,327 --> 00:25:46,242
Could you glance at the road now and
then, so we keep all our limbs and organs?!
271
00:25:46,407 --> 00:25:50,525
All right! Stop
panicking. I'm in control!
272
00:25:53,367 --> 00:25:56,165
Oh, a message from Rokesmith.
273
00:25:57,887 --> 00:26:00,799
Asking me to get in touch ASAP.
274
00:26:00,967 --> 00:26:03,083
Wonder what he wants.
275
00:26:03,247 --> 00:26:07,843
- Can you fish out his number for me?
- Yes, I've got it! I've got it!
276
00:26:08,007 --> 00:26:11,079
You drive, I'll dial, OK?
277
00:26:13,487 --> 00:26:17,526
God, you're a twitchy passenger!
278
00:26:18,327 --> 00:26:21,876
It's making me nervous
being in the car with you!
279
00:26:22,727 --> 00:26:25,446
No reply from Mr Rokesmith.
280
00:26:26,727 --> 00:26:31,403
'Course, he won't be there. He's
rented a cottage for the week.
281
00:26:31,567 --> 00:26:34,559
Going away to relish his freedom.
282
00:26:35,647 --> 00:26:38,207
Wonder why he didn't leave a number.
283
00:26:39,447 --> 00:26:43,998
Anyway, I think it's been
a very useful session.
284
00:26:44,167 --> 00:26:50,515
We've put paid to that murder theory,
for which I owe you a very large drink!
285
00:26:50,687 --> 00:26:52,006
Mmm.
286
00:26:52,167 --> 00:26:53,486
What?
287
00:26:54,527 --> 00:26:55,846
What?
288
00:26:56,487 --> 00:26:59,797
- Sorry?
- What's with the "Mmm"?
289
00:26:59,967 --> 00:27:04,916
And that crinkled look that says,
"There's more to this than meets the eye"?
290
00:27:05,087 --> 00:27:08,875
Holiday was the only one who
could lock the door behind him.
291
00:27:09,047 --> 00:27:11,720
Depending how bad his hands really were.
292
00:27:11,887 --> 00:27:15,562
According to his wife,
he couldn't turn on a tap.
293
00:27:15,727 --> 00:27:19,800
But he'd just starred in a
TV commercial for bananas.
294
00:27:19,967 --> 00:27:22,322
There you are, that doesn't square.
295
00:27:22,487 --> 00:27:24,637
Something doesn't square here.
296
00:27:25,887 --> 00:27:31,996
I've seen it with my own eyes, but I can't
for the life of me tell you what it is.
297
00:27:33,487 --> 00:27:37,196
Paul Garrick to edit
suite three, please.
298
00:27:37,367 --> 00:27:42,316
Hi, Scott Reisner? Maddy Magellan.
I rang last night about Jack Holiday.
299
00:27:42,487 --> 00:27:44,955
This morning, but let's not be picky.
300
00:27:45,127 --> 00:27:50,485
It was never after 12! You should do
the same as me and unplug the phone!
301
00:27:50,647 --> 00:27:54,686
You'll see why they are
everyone's top banana.
302
00:27:54,847 --> 00:27:56,280
Almost everyone's.
303
00:27:57,407 --> 00:27:59,204
Astonishing!
304
00:27:59,367 --> 00:28:02,359
You think so? It was
all done with doubles.
305
00:28:02,527 --> 00:28:04,802
Jack's pratfall days were over.
306
00:28:04,967 --> 00:28:08,562
He was all rusted up,
like walking rigor mortis.
307
00:28:08,727 --> 00:28:10,718
Let me show you something.
308
00:28:11,967 --> 00:28:14,003
Shot 29, take 13.
309
00:28:14,167 --> 00:28:15,839
And... actionl
310
00:28:23,047 --> 00:28:26,164
Can we go again? Someone's
in front of the monitor.
311
00:28:26,327 --> 00:28:29,842
Chris, don't worry if you're
in shot. We can matt round it.
312
00:28:31,287 --> 00:28:38,079
That is... What are you saying? Jack
Holiday needed a stunt man to peel a banana?
313
00:28:38,247 --> 00:28:40,807
He couldn't do anything with his hands?
314
00:28:40,967 --> 00:28:45,324
And if you're asking me if
he could turn a key in a lock,
315
00:28:45,487 --> 00:28:48,320
load a gun and empty it into his head,
316
00:28:48,487 --> 00:28:52,844
I'd say not unless a miracle happened
in the last two weeks of his life!
317
00:29:09,807 --> 00:29:11,126
Alan?
318
00:29:11,287 --> 00:29:13,278
Are you here?
319
00:30:20,487 --> 00:30:22,364
What is it?
320
00:30:22,527 --> 00:30:26,315
This cottage is being
rented by Mr Alan Rokesmith?
321
00:30:26,487 --> 00:30:28,125
Yes, my brother.
322
00:30:28,287 --> 00:30:29,925
Where is he?
323
00:30:30,807 --> 00:30:32,320
What's happened?
324
00:30:32,487 --> 00:30:36,275
I'm afraid they've just
found the remains of his boat.
325
00:30:36,447 --> 00:30:38,597
I'm very sorry.
326
00:30:44,487 --> 00:30:47,877
So, what do they think?
It hit some rocks?
327
00:30:48,047 --> 00:30:50,402
They said it was in pieces.
328
00:30:51,807 --> 00:30:55,880
I don't know why I thought he
could manage a fishing boat.
329
00:30:56,047 --> 00:30:58,163
I don't know what possessed him.
330
00:30:58,327 --> 00:31:03,003
He just had this thing in his
head about getting right out...
331
00:31:03,167 --> 00:31:07,922
into the open... as far as possible.
332
00:31:13,487 --> 00:31:17,116
What nine years in a
steel cage do for you!
333
00:31:18,327 --> 00:31:23,242
And they think it happened
when? Some time on Thursday?
334
00:31:24,527 --> 00:31:26,802
That's where his diary finished.
335
00:31:26,967 --> 00:31:29,401
First thing Thursday morning.
336
00:31:29,567 --> 00:31:33,526
He left a message on my
machine on Monday afternoon.
337
00:31:33,687 --> 00:31:38,966
It sounded fairly urgent, but...
I didn't have a number for him.
338
00:31:40,567 --> 00:31:46,085
He didn't happen to root out those old
letters for me? If not, it's no problem.
339
00:31:46,247 --> 00:31:48,477
No, they're here somewhere.
340
00:31:48,647 --> 00:31:54,404
Great, because when I come to write all
this up, it'll give me chapter and verse.
341
00:31:54,567 --> 00:31:55,886
Thanks.
342
00:31:56,047 --> 00:31:59,801
That's everything he brought
with him when he came out.
343
00:32:00,727 --> 00:32:02,718
Stuff from the solicitor.
344
00:32:02,887 --> 00:32:04,843
All your letters.
345
00:32:05,887 --> 00:32:07,843
And mine.
346
00:32:08,687 --> 00:32:12,726
Letters from some confectionary
company, it looks like...
347
00:32:12,887 --> 00:32:15,924
about an order he placed for some fudge.
348
00:32:17,287 --> 00:32:20,006
I'm afraid I haven't
had time to sort it.
349
00:32:20,807 --> 00:32:23,719
Weird that, when he always hated fudge.
350
00:32:23,887 --> 00:32:26,606
You must be gutted.
351
00:32:28,087 --> 00:32:31,921
That the whole thing should
end like this with all we've...
352
00:32:33,687 --> 00:32:37,123
- What did you say?
- Sorry?
353
00:32:38,047 --> 00:32:41,084
You said he hated fudge?
354
00:32:46,647 --> 00:32:51,004
Oh, not the old wreckage of a
boat with no sign of a body?!
355
00:32:51,167 --> 00:32:55,399
Just what you don't need
- another murder disguised as an accident.
356
00:32:55,567 --> 00:32:56,886
Sorry?
357
00:32:57,047 --> 00:33:00,437
Oh, a sort of mushroomy
thing with cheese.
358
00:33:00,607 --> 00:33:04,395
Cross and Blackwell, I think.
When did all this happen?
359
00:33:04,567 --> 00:33:09,163
Thursday some time, we presume.
Nothing in his diary for yesterday.
360
00:33:09,327 --> 00:33:13,559
Just when I was starting to
believe Holiday's death was suicide,
361
00:33:13,727 --> 00:33:15,843
everything skews the other way.
362
00:33:17,327 --> 00:33:19,397
I don't know what to think.
363
00:33:19,567 --> 00:33:23,799
I've got a list of things
which make no sense whatsoever.
364
00:33:29,367 --> 00:33:33,280
All I can say is, if it was a
trick, it's a bloody good one.
365
00:33:33,447 --> 00:33:36,803
Not only have you got a
locked room no one can leave,
366
00:33:36,967 --> 00:33:39,435
even if you did get
out, you're in a cliff!
367
00:33:39,607 --> 00:33:42,758
So... it must have been a suicide.
368
00:33:42,927 --> 00:33:46,283
Except... it wasn't.
369
00:33:47,327 --> 00:33:52,355
Because... Look, do you mind if I just
lie down here for a minute and die?!
370
00:33:56,647 --> 00:33:59,445
You were the one who
wanted to come back here.
371
00:33:59,607 --> 00:34:01,245
Yes, all right!
372
00:34:04,807 --> 00:34:09,085
Holiday locked himself in the
bunker using some sort of... lever,
373
00:34:09,247 --> 00:34:12,523
or a device he could operate
with his crippled hands.
374
00:34:12,967 --> 00:34:17,643
Which he then dropped down the
hole where the loo was going to go.
375
00:34:17,807 --> 00:34:23,916
He had some special tool that
enabled him to pull the trigger.
376
00:34:24,087 --> 00:34:27,363
Like an arthritic suicide aid?
377
00:34:27,527 --> 00:34:29,643
Which was on elastic!
378
00:34:29,807 --> 00:34:34,517
So that when he collapsed, it
also disappeared down the hole!
379
00:34:34,687 --> 00:34:38,919
Making it look like a suicide
that wasn't quite convincing enough
380
00:34:39,087 --> 00:34:41,760
to really be suicide.
381
00:34:43,567 --> 00:34:44,886
Amazing.
382
00:34:45,087 --> 00:34:46,679
Yes?
383
00:34:48,367 --> 00:34:49,686
Why?
384
00:34:50,487 --> 00:34:51,806
Sorry?
385
00:34:52,687 --> 00:34:56,202
Why did he do that eccentric
thing you described,
386
00:34:56,367 --> 00:34:59,484
as opposed to shooting
himself in the sitting room?
387
00:35:04,487 --> 00:35:08,241
Those letters of Rokesmith's,
can I have another squint?
388
00:35:08,407 --> 00:35:13,606
All they say is, "Thank you for
ordering our quality fudge. "
389
00:35:13,767 --> 00:35:18,682
Stuff like that. "We have had some
difficulty acquiring supplies. "
390
00:35:18,847 --> 00:35:24,365
Maybe it's me, but I thought it was odd
to keep something like that for nine years!
391
00:35:24,527 --> 00:35:29,203
The postmarks are all from around
the time he was first arrested.
392
00:35:29,367 --> 00:35:34,077
Fudge? Which, according to his sister,
he absolutely detested, even as a boy.
393
00:35:34,247 --> 00:35:36,477
That is odd.
394
00:35:37,527 --> 00:35:39,916
One for your lateral brain.
395
00:35:41,127 --> 00:35:42,446
Mmm.
396
00:35:45,647 --> 00:35:48,161
Well, time's getting on.
397
00:35:48,327 --> 00:35:50,966
I think we'd better get back to the car.
398
00:35:52,327 --> 00:35:55,080
Oh, right, that's it, is it?!
399
00:35:56,407 --> 00:36:01,640
Well, so far, you have been
a great help, I must say
400
00:36:01,807 --> 00:36:03,798
Can I get one thing straight?
401
00:36:03,967 --> 00:36:07,801
You are convinced that Jack
Holiday wasn't murdered?
402
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:13,155
No, I'm convinced he was murdered.
403
00:36:14,207 --> 00:36:16,118
The only question is how.
404
00:36:18,967 --> 00:36:24,121
Suppose someone had a reason to kill Jack
and Jennifer Holiday in the first place.
405
00:36:24,287 --> 00:36:27,757
They set up death threats
to make it look like a crank.
406
00:36:27,927 --> 00:36:30,487
Jennifer is strangled in an alleyway.
407
00:36:30,647 --> 00:36:33,957
Alan Rokesmith happens
to be around at the time,
408
00:36:34,127 --> 00:36:36,322
goes to jail accused of the murder.
409
00:36:37,287 --> 00:36:40,006
The real killer has got away with it.
410
00:36:40,167 --> 00:36:43,523
Nine years later, Rokesmith is released.
411
00:36:43,687 --> 00:36:48,681
Now's their chance to kill Jack Holiday,
and everyone will think it's Rokesmith.
412
00:36:48,847 --> 00:36:54,285
Just to make sure Rokesmith can't come up
with an alibi, he's disposed of as well.
413
00:36:54,447 --> 00:36:59,999
I buy that much, but it still doesn't tell
us how the killer left after shooting Holiday.
414
00:37:00,167 --> 00:37:05,480
No, and it doesn't explain why a 100
watt light bulb is in a 40 watt packet.
415
00:37:06,727 --> 00:37:10,561
Or why that bloody lavatory
keeps coming back to haunt me!
416
00:37:12,527 --> 00:37:14,643
Come on, I'm getting soaked here!
417
00:37:14,807 --> 00:37:18,117
I can't find the keys!
For goodness' sake, I...
418
00:37:19,167 --> 00:37:21,635
- Oh.
- What?
419
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:27,761
When I emptied my bag out up
there, I'll bet I accidentally...
420
00:37:34,207 --> 00:37:35,686
Thanks.
421
00:37:36,767 --> 00:37:39,804
Any preference for a sea view?
422
00:37:41,447 --> 00:37:43,085
Airing cupboard?
423
00:37:55,527 --> 00:37:57,916
Tell me about Rokesmith.
424
00:37:58,087 --> 00:38:00,760
Before he went to
jail, where did he work?
425
00:38:01,847 --> 00:38:05,635
Telecommunications.
Sales rep of some sort.
426
00:38:05,807 --> 00:38:09,800
Not averse to the odd back
hander, a few dodgy deals.
427
00:38:09,967 --> 00:38:14,040
We never said he was a saint, but
it doesn't mean he was a murderer.
428
00:38:14,207 --> 00:38:21,238
As far as we know, the only women in his life
were his sister and mother, who he adored.
429
00:38:21,407 --> 00:38:24,240
- There you go. Simple.
- What have you found?
430
00:38:24,407 --> 00:38:25,886
Nothing.
431
00:38:26,047 --> 00:38:28,436
It's taken me two hours.
432
00:38:28,607 --> 00:38:33,920
I've been staring at these words, looking
for hidden codes and there aren't any!
433
00:38:34,087 --> 00:38:39,286
The fudge is just an excuse
someone has made up to write to him.
434
00:38:39,447 --> 00:38:42,917
It's not in the letters.
It's on the envelopes, look.
435
00:38:50,287 --> 00:38:51,606
What?
436
00:38:51,767 --> 00:38:53,678
It's screaming at you.
437
00:38:59,207 --> 00:39:00,526
Sorry.
438
00:39:01,527 --> 00:39:03,483
Let's go upstairs.
439
00:39:17,567 --> 00:39:22,038
See the break in the franking mark
where it's not perfectly aligned?
440
00:39:22,207 --> 00:39:23,526
No.
441
00:39:25,127 --> 00:39:27,277
Oh, yeah, just about.
442
00:39:27,447 --> 00:39:30,644
That shows that the
stamps on these envelopes
443
00:39:30,807 --> 00:39:33,765
have been removed and
stuck back on again.
444
00:39:33,927 --> 00:39:35,519
Why do that?
445
00:39:35,687 --> 00:39:40,807
Suppose you want to write to someone in
prison without the authorities reading it?
446
00:39:40,967 --> 00:39:42,844
Give it here!
447
00:39:45,247 --> 00:39:47,238
What, you mean like...
448
00:39:48,927 --> 00:39:54,126
...if he was having a secret affair? He was
at it with someone he shouldn't have been?
449
00:39:54,287 --> 00:39:59,919
They sent each other messages
underneath the stamps? Hey, presto!
450
00:40:00,087 --> 00:40:01,998
I see writing!
451
00:40:03,247 --> 00:40:05,477
You do this a bit too well.
452
00:40:05,647 --> 00:40:07,558
Just improvising.
453
00:40:09,487 --> 00:40:12,047
"I'm so sorry about what's happened.
454
00:40:12,207 --> 00:40:15,279
"I pray it will yet be resolved somehow.
455
00:40:15,447 --> 00:40:18,200
"We must try to be patient. "
456
00:40:19,327 --> 00:40:22,478
"I know things are
looking bad right now,
457
00:40:22,647 --> 00:40:27,880
"but if the truth comes out, it
would be the end of everything.
458
00:40:28,047 --> 00:40:30,356
"Don't give up hope. "
459
00:40:30,527 --> 00:40:33,724
"These are dark times.
460
00:40:33,887 --> 00:40:37,721
"I appreciate your silence
and you have my word
461
00:40:37,887 --> 00:40:41,323
"I'll stand by my pledge
to you come what may. "
462
00:40:44,487 --> 00:40:47,877
Sounds like a pretty heavy relationship.
463
00:40:48,807 --> 00:40:51,196
With a married woman, maybe?
464
00:40:51,367 --> 00:40:56,282
Makes sense that he kept them.
Helped see him through, probably.
465
00:40:56,447 --> 00:40:59,200
Don't quite see how
they help us, though.
466
00:40:59,367 --> 00:41:00,686
No.
467
00:41:05,647 --> 00:41:07,683
You did well tonight.
468
00:41:07,847 --> 00:41:09,838
Going back for those keys.
469
00:41:10,967 --> 00:41:12,320
Right.
470
00:41:12,487 --> 00:41:14,478
Scored a lot of points.
471
00:41:15,887 --> 00:41:17,206
Mmm-hmm.
472
00:41:19,847 --> 00:41:22,202
I'll say goodnight, then.
473
00:41:23,247 --> 00:41:24,600
Yep.
474
00:41:32,647 --> 00:41:35,081
See you downstairs about eight?
475
00:43:18,207 --> 00:43:19,799
Yup?
476
00:43:19,967 --> 00:43:23,357
Did you put a melon on my
pillow with a knife through it?
477
00:43:25,727 --> 00:43:30,755
Drunk? How can I be drunk at 8.30 am? You
were the one knocking back the Chianti!
478
00:43:30,927 --> 00:43:35,523
- You did everything but suck the corks!
- Three glasses, small ones.
479
00:43:35,687 --> 00:43:37,917
My giddy aunt!
480
00:43:38,927 --> 00:43:41,885
- Who put that there?
- You didn't?!
481
00:43:42,047 --> 00:43:46,837
Yeah, I'll get up in the middle of the
night and muck about in your bedroom
482
00:43:47,007 --> 00:43:48,725
There's a note.
483
00:43:59,607 --> 00:44:04,203
I could have come in here and
found you with your throat slit!
484
00:44:04,367 --> 00:44:05,686
Yeah.
485
00:44:05,847 --> 00:44:10,716
I think I saw a sewing kit in the
bathroom for just such an emergency.
486
00:44:10,887 --> 00:44:15,563
Somebody must have slipped
upstairs and into my room.
487
00:44:15,727 --> 00:44:18,480
Someone who wants us off this story.
488
00:44:19,007 --> 00:44:24,445
Someone who is worried we're
getting too close to the truth.
489
00:44:31,487 --> 00:44:33,682
Too close.
490
00:44:34,967 --> 00:44:37,845
There is something in the lavatory.
491
00:44:38,887 --> 00:44:40,286
What?
492
00:44:40,447 --> 00:44:45,567
- It's been hounding me from Day One.
- What? What has?
493
00:44:45,727 --> 00:44:47,922
Am I supposed to guess now?
494
00:44:48,087 --> 00:44:50,726
- No time to lose.
- Where are we going?
495
00:44:50,887 --> 00:44:54,641
Anywhere far away from
here! That could be my head!
496
00:44:54,807 --> 00:45:00,200
Hang about. You can't tell me you've
unravelled it and then just bugger off!
497
00:45:00,367 --> 00:45:03,962
- What kind of spineless cretin are you?
- No special kind.
498
00:45:04,127 --> 00:45:07,517
Just your average cretin
with a train to catch!
499
00:45:08,927 --> 00:45:12,078
Deep breaths now, Jonathan.
500
00:45:13,047 --> 00:45:15,686
Then you're going to tell me everything.
501
00:45:15,847 --> 00:45:18,839
Then we'll do whatever is
necessary to see this through.
502
00:45:29,447 --> 00:45:32,120
Morning. Is Mrs Holiday around?
503
00:45:32,287 --> 00:45:37,361
She is... but I don't imagine
she's in the mood for visitors.
504
00:45:39,207 --> 00:45:43,086
Mr Creek. I wasn't expecting...
505
00:45:43,247 --> 00:45:45,807
Good morning, Mrs Holiday.
506
00:45:46,167 --> 00:45:47,759
Maddy Magellan.
507
00:45:47,927 --> 00:45:49,963
I got your letter.
508
00:45:50,687 --> 00:45:52,200
What is this?
509
00:45:54,407 --> 00:45:59,527
You've come back to tell me it was
impossible, like the police and everyone.
510
00:45:59,687 --> 00:46:03,316
Whoever did this managed
to fool the lot of you.
511
00:46:03,487 --> 00:46:08,720
Certainly fooled me. Even in my
darkest dreams, I never saw it coming.
512
00:46:09,847 --> 00:46:11,326
With your permission,
513
00:46:11,487 --> 00:46:15,526
we'd like to go down to the
shelter to carry out an experiment.
514
00:46:29,007 --> 00:46:31,999
When I first checked this place out,
515
00:46:32,167 --> 00:46:36,001
I couldn't, for the life of me,
spot the chink in the armour.
516
00:46:36,167 --> 00:46:40,479
We're inside a room, inside a
block of concrete, inside a cliff.
517
00:46:40,647 --> 00:46:44,276
The only way in or out
is through this door.
518
00:46:44,447 --> 00:46:49,760
A door that can only be locked the
way it was by someone inside the room.
519
00:46:50,767 --> 00:46:53,281
But there was no one else in the room.
520
00:46:53,447 --> 00:46:54,960
Only Jack Holiday.
521
00:46:55,127 --> 00:46:58,756
To all intents, he had
to have killed himself.
522
00:46:58,927 --> 00:47:01,566
He couldn't! Why won't
anyone believe me?
523
00:47:01,727 --> 00:47:05,083
Because what you're
suggesting is impossible.
524
00:47:05,247 --> 00:47:10,367
We mustn't confuse what's
impossible with what's implausible.
525
00:47:10,527 --> 00:47:16,238
What I do for a living relies on stuff that's
implausible. That's why it's hard to work out.
526
00:47:16,407 --> 00:47:20,685
No one ever thinks you'd go to that
much trouble to fool an audience.
527
00:47:22,247 --> 00:47:24,841
But if we hack away at it long enough,
528
00:47:25,007 --> 00:47:29,637
there's a way, an elaborate way, this
crime could have been carried out.
529
00:47:29,807 --> 00:47:34,119
Only, to follow the method,
we have to look at the motive.
530
00:47:36,327 --> 00:47:40,240
Yes, have a seat, Mrs Holiday.
Not a bad-sized lavatory, is it?
531
00:47:42,287 --> 00:47:45,597
When Alan Rokesmith's
conviction was quashed,
532
00:47:45,767 --> 00:47:48,281
it opened up the whole question again.
533
00:47:48,447 --> 00:47:53,043
Who was responsible for strangling
Jennifer Holiday and why?
534
00:47:53,207 --> 00:47:58,759
Someone wanted her dead and it's
now obvious who that person was.
535
00:48:01,167 --> 00:48:03,158
It was Jack Holiday himself.
536
00:48:05,887 --> 00:48:10,119
Oh, that's just sheer
ignorance of the facts!
537
00:48:10,287 --> 00:48:14,758
Jack was on the other side of the
world in a restaurant in West Hollywood!
538
00:48:14,927 --> 00:48:16,360
How could he...?
539
00:48:16,527 --> 00:48:21,362
You can be responsible for a murder
without actually carrying it out.
540
00:48:21,527 --> 00:48:22,846
Well...
541
00:48:24,167 --> 00:48:26,237
You're not sugges...
542
00:48:27,367 --> 00:48:29,562
He paid someone?
543
00:48:29,727 --> 00:48:33,197
And I think that's exactly
why he left the country.
544
00:48:33,367 --> 00:48:37,519
To be as far away as possible while
someone else did the job for him.
545
00:48:37,687 --> 00:48:41,362
Someone who finally couldn't
live with what had happened
546
00:48:41,527 --> 00:48:45,315
and decided that Jack Holiday
should pay for what he'd done.
547
00:48:59,927 --> 00:49:02,600
Wait! Wait! Listen to me!
548
00:49:22,207 --> 00:49:24,675
But now came the problem.
549
00:49:24,847 --> 00:49:27,919
The gun was put in his
hand to suggest suicide,
550
00:49:28,087 --> 00:49:32,239
a hand we all know was incapable
of squeezing the trigger.
551
00:49:32,407 --> 00:49:37,527
The conclusion is that the killer
didn't know about Jack's arthritis.
552
00:49:46,847 --> 00:49:48,599
You were right.
553
00:49:48,767 --> 00:49:50,564
I was wrong.
554
00:49:51,807 --> 00:49:54,367
I believed in Alan Rokesmith.
555
00:49:55,367 --> 00:49:58,484
His sister did. We all did.
556
00:50:00,807 --> 00:50:05,483
I'm only just beginning to see
how he did it from behind bars,
557
00:50:05,647 --> 00:50:09,481
manipulated, paid off witnesses...
558
00:50:10,767 --> 00:50:14,680
paid that prostitute to
say she'd been with him,
559
00:50:15,847 --> 00:50:19,635
literally... bought
his way out of there.
560
00:50:20,007 --> 00:50:24,558
You haven't anything to
connect Jack with that evil man!
561
00:50:24,727 --> 00:50:26,957
He'd kept these, Mrs Holiday.
562
00:50:28,247 --> 00:50:33,446
I don't think you'll argue that it's
your husband's writing, even in capitals.
563
00:50:33,607 --> 00:50:40,001
The Greek Es and tails on the Rs are all
over that script you showed me upstairs.
564
00:50:40,167 --> 00:50:42,397
We thought they were from a lover.
565
00:50:42,567 --> 00:50:46,355
If the truth came out, it
would be the end of everything.
566
00:50:46,527 --> 00:50:49,439
He was telling Rokesmith
to keep his mouth shut.
567
00:50:49,607 --> 00:50:54,840
In exchange for which,
he'd stand by his pledge -
568
00:50:56,527 --> 00:50:59,917
make sure the money came
through as they'd arranged.
569
00:51:01,687 --> 00:51:04,963
This is some sort of malicious hoax!
570
00:51:05,127 --> 00:51:09,200
- And it's time I called the police.
- No, Kirsten.
571
00:51:10,127 --> 00:51:15,121
You... knew about this?!
572
00:51:16,927 --> 00:51:21,955
Couple of years ago, one of his dark
days, the whole world was against him,
573
00:51:22,127 --> 00:51:25,756
he got well oiled up
and poured it all out.
574
00:51:25,927 --> 00:51:28,487
Like the plot of one of his films.
575
00:51:28,647 --> 00:51:30,638
Sad little clown.
576
00:51:31,887 --> 00:51:35,880
Everyone thought Jack and
Jennifer were the business.
577
00:51:36,047 --> 00:51:38,720
Behind the lovey-dovey
it was a disaster!
578
00:51:39,807 --> 00:51:41,798
She was just a kid still.
579
00:51:41,967 --> 00:51:45,755
Spent his money, slept
with a cast of thousands.
580
00:51:46,767 --> 00:51:51,557
Any sniff of divorce, she'd
have filleted him like a kipper!
581
00:51:53,367 --> 00:51:55,517
He knew a lot of villains.
582
00:51:55,687 --> 00:51:59,282
It wasn't hard for him to
find somebody like Rokesmith.
583
00:52:01,607 --> 00:52:07,159
Every day after that, he was terrified
Rokesmith would talk, but he never did.
584
00:52:08,167 --> 00:52:12,763
Jack left the world a
lot of happy memories.
585
00:52:14,287 --> 00:52:16,847
The thought of all
this destroying that...
586
00:52:18,407 --> 00:52:20,398
...didn't seem right.
587
00:52:22,807 --> 00:52:26,766
- I suppose the knife in the melon was...
- Faintly childish?
588
00:52:27,687 --> 00:52:32,078
You're telling me it was Rokesmith,
but how did he get out of this room?!
589
00:52:33,967 --> 00:52:36,356
A lavatory and a light
bulb held the key.
590
00:52:37,887 --> 00:52:40,526
This is how I think it happened.
591
00:52:42,327 --> 00:52:46,559
Several days before the murder,
I can't say how long it took him,
592
00:52:46,727 --> 00:52:52,404
Rokesmith was systematically dismantling the
end wall in what was to have been the toilet.
593
00:52:54,607 --> 00:52:58,919
Brick by brick, he exposed the
outer wall of reinforced concrete.
594
00:52:59,087 --> 00:53:01,681
No chance of escaping through that.
595
00:53:01,847 --> 00:53:05,237
But the point was, he had
no intention of escaping.
596
00:53:05,407 --> 00:53:11,004
If I'm right, Alan Rokesmith's purpose
when he brought your husband down here
597
00:53:11,167 --> 00:53:12,646
wasn't murder,
598
00:53:12,807 --> 00:53:14,843
but a double execution.
599
00:53:16,687 --> 00:53:20,123
Looking back, it was
all there in his eyes.
600
00:53:20,287 --> 00:53:22,755
A kind of hollow calm.
601
00:53:22,927 --> 00:53:26,317
All that creepy talk
about guilt and innocence.
602
00:53:26,487 --> 00:53:31,766
He'd made peace with his conscience
because he knew what he had to do.
603
00:53:31,927 --> 00:53:34,919
He was going and
taking Holiday with him.
604
00:53:35,087 --> 00:53:40,286
But he had to do it in a way that his mother
and sister would never find out the truth.
605
00:53:40,447 --> 00:53:42,722
He set up a fake trip to Wales.
606
00:53:42,887 --> 00:53:48,359
Wrote stuff in his diary days beforehand to
make it look like he was there till Thursday.
607
00:53:48,527 --> 00:53:53,681
Wrecked his own boat, so eventually they'd
find the bits and assume he'd drowned.
608
00:53:54,887 --> 00:53:58,004
But, in fact, he was here.
609
00:54:00,167 --> 00:54:05,480
He now rebuilds the wall, this
time deeper inside the room,
610
00:54:05,647 --> 00:54:10,118
leaving a narrow recess between the
new wall and the concrete behind.
611
00:54:11,407 --> 00:54:16,527
My guess is he swallows a bottle of something
- pills, paracetamol,
612
00:54:16,687 --> 00:54:21,442
and with his last half hour
or so, seals himself up.
613
00:54:57,367 --> 00:55:03,602
If you look at this hole in the floor,
you assume the lavatory would go here.
614
00:55:05,247 --> 00:55:09,638
With the pan facing
out towards the door.
615
00:55:10,847 --> 00:55:16,001
Problem is, it couldn't. With the pan hard
against this wall, where will the cistern go?
616
00:55:16,167 --> 00:55:18,237
There's no room behind it.
617
00:55:20,367 --> 00:55:24,121
And if the plan was for the
lavatory to go against this wall,
618
00:55:26,087 --> 00:55:28,647
That's where your cistern will go.
619
00:55:33,007 --> 00:55:35,885
Now, you've got a wall in the way.
620
00:55:36,927 --> 00:55:38,918
It won't fit.
621
00:55:39,087 --> 00:55:44,161
The reason being that this wall is
further out now than it used to be.
622
00:55:47,327 --> 00:55:52,685
You wouldn't notice the different
brickwork because Rokesmith switched bulbs,
623
00:55:52,847 --> 00:55:55,156
so the light in here would be dimmer.
624
00:56:00,447 --> 00:56:02,244
Do you want to do this?
625
00:56:30,847 --> 00:56:33,884
Now, let me see if I've got this.
626
00:56:41,567 --> 00:56:45,526
You know what, that's crap
if you actually try it.
627
00:56:47,407 --> 00:56:51,195
It's totally impossible
to slip on a banana skin.
628
00:56:51,367 --> 00:56:55,076
Seaweed, no problem.
Dog's mess, piece of cake.
629
00:56:55,247 --> 00:56:56,919
You try a banana peel!
630
00:57:01,687 --> 00:57:05,680
Yes, brilliant! That
is utterly baffling.
631
00:57:05,847 --> 00:57:09,283
- No, it doesn't work.
- What do you mean?
632
00:57:09,447 --> 00:57:13,486
There's not enough scope
for the imagination.
633
00:57:13,647 --> 00:57:19,085
There's only one explanation
- the matches stay in the box and another drawer comes out.
634
00:57:19,247 --> 00:57:24,879
Like the killer had to be in that room
because there's no way he could get out.
635
00:57:25,447 --> 00:57:28,041
Maybe if I took a run at it.
636
00:57:29,647 --> 00:57:35,165
Though how it was Rokesmith, who had
apparently called me two days before...?
637
00:57:35,327 --> 00:57:41,243
How often does that happen? You play back
an old message and think it's just come in.
638
00:57:42,247 --> 00:57:43,680
OK.
639
00:57:43,847 --> 00:57:45,678
Here we go.
640
00:57:47,967 --> 00:57:49,480
AHHHH!
641
00:57:51,527 --> 00:57:53,119
Well done!
642
00:57:54,087 --> 00:57:57,841
You proved your point about the dog's
mess! One more go with the banana peel?
