1
00:00:01,068 --> 00:00:03,269
Viewers like you make
this program possible.
2
00:00:03,270 --> 00:00:05,339
Support your local PBS station.
3
00:01:16,544 --> 00:01:17,912
Well, this’ll do.
4
00:01:18,345 --> 00:01:19,680
Professor T: Hotel and spa?
5
00:01:19,914 --> 00:01:21,514
Yeah, that’s what you agreed to.
6
00:01:21,515 --> 00:01:24,485
I did not come equipped for
anything, uh, spa related.
7
00:01:24,718 --> 00:01:26,320
Oh, you don’t need anything.
8
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,623
You can use the sauna
au naturelle.
9
00:01:32,426 --> 00:01:33,661
Hello.
10
00:01:34,328 --> 00:01:35,329
Thank you.
11
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,138
Right...
12
00:01:47,608 --> 00:01:49,342
they’ve booked us into a double.
13
00:01:49,343 --> 00:01:50,610
- A double?
- Mm.
14
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,279
That is one room for two people.
15
00:01:53,013 --> 00:01:54,748
That’s the one, yes.
16
00:01:54,982 --> 00:01:56,916
She’s trying to contact
the owner.
17
00:01:56,917 --> 00:02:00,154
Apparently, there’s been some
incident in the dining room.
18
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:04,457
- Where is he?
- Dining room.
19
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:05,793
Oh, excuse me?
20
00:02:06,494 --> 00:02:07,895
Uh, excuse me?
21
00:02:08,696 --> 00:02:10,630
Mm...
22
00:02:10,631 --> 00:02:13,166
Quite, uh, frenetic activity.
23
00:02:13,167 --> 00:02:14,234
Mm.
24
00:02:14,235 --> 00:02:16,302
- So...
- Uh...
25
00:02:16,303 --> 00:02:19,506
I took the liberty, uh, given
the purpose of our visit,
26
00:02:19,507 --> 00:02:22,042
of compiling a compatibility
checklist.
27
00:02:23,277 --> 00:02:26,980
Oh. I’m not sure that’s how
relationships work.
28
00:02:26,981 --> 00:02:28,248
Well, with this exchange alone,
29
00:02:28,249 --> 00:02:30,583
we’ve ticked a number of boxes,
I mean,
30
00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:32,919
honesty, effective
communication,
31
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,587
positive interaction
32
00:02:34,588 --> 00:02:36,956
and, um, acceptance.
33
00:02:36,957 --> 00:02:38,659
It’s all downhill from here.
34
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:42,162
I hazard that remark
is not entirely serious.
35
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:43,964
Good hazard.
36
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:45,865
Another box ticked...
37
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:47,635
shared sense of humor.
38
00:02:48,435 --> 00:02:50,403
Ladies and gentlemen,
39
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:53,240
uh, if I could have your
attention for a moment...
40
00:02:54,375 --> 00:02:56,410
- That does not look good.
- No.
41
00:03:00,481 --> 00:03:02,048
Some old chap
in the dining room.
42
00:03:02,049 --> 00:03:04,284
- Keeled over.
- Full face plant.
43
00:03:04,285 --> 00:03:05,585
Looked like a heart attack.
44
00:03:05,586 --> 00:03:09,390
Sorry, so rude.
Simon and Paula Mulderson.
45
00:03:09,757 --> 00:03:10,957
Lovely to meet you.
46
00:03:10,958 --> 00:03:12,693
And you...
47
00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:16,663
What was lovely about that?
48
00:03:18,232 --> 00:03:21,200
Shall we, since they’ve messed
up the booking,
49
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:23,069
shall we try to find
somewhere else?
50
00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:26,205
No need, a room may have
become available.
51
00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:36,275
Welcome to the
Bridge Street Hotel and Spa.
52
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:37,043
Good grief.
53
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:38,712
Thank you for choosing us.
54
00:04:39,046 --> 00:04:40,847
We will do everything to ensure
55
00:04:40,848 --> 00:04:43,150
that you have
an unforgettable stay.
56
00:04:43,384 --> 00:04:47,286
While you’re here, why not try
our heat and ice experience?
57
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:49,656
- No thank you.
- Inspired by the pharaohs
58
00:04:49,657 --> 00:04:51,090
of ancient Egypt,
59
00:04:51,091 --> 00:04:54,160
this unique treatment
will draw out impurities,
60
00:04:54,161 --> 00:04:57,230
allowing you to pass through
the zone of danger,
61
00:04:57,231 --> 00:05:00,500
beyond which stand
the gates of happiness.
62
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:02,502
- Zelda?
- None other.
63
00:05:02,503 --> 00:05:04,437
Wilfred, I’m afraid, is asleep.
64
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:05,872
I have exhausted him.
65
00:05:05,873 --> 00:05:07,641
Oh, Aunt, please.
66
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:10,143
You realize you will have to
relinquish control
67
00:05:10,144 --> 00:05:11,144
to open the gates.
68
00:05:11,145 --> 00:05:13,513
Sounds like errant self-help
nonsense.
69
00:05:13,514 --> 00:05:15,515
Jasper, I’ve been happily
married four times,
70
00:05:15,516 --> 00:05:17,051
you would do well to pay heed.
71
00:05:17,284 --> 00:05:19,018
Of course, it sounds like
nonsense,
72
00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:21,354
it describes a contradiction,
73
00:05:21,355 --> 00:05:22,822
your over-developed ego
74
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:24,157
is pushing you to find love,
75
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:26,526
while doing everything it can
to prevent you
76
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:27,895
ever attaining it.
77
00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:31,931
That’s the impurity you have to
overcome.
78
00:05:40,941 --> 00:05:42,242
Open up.
79
00:05:42,743 --> 00:05:44,745
Look to the sky.
80
00:05:45,112 --> 00:05:48,382
Listen to this,
Korean snail facial,
81
00:05:48,649 --> 00:05:50,883
live snails are placed
on the face
82
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:54,887
to exfoliate and lubricate
the skin.
83
00:05:54,888 --> 00:05:56,355
Are you gonna try one
of those, Jasper?
84
00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:57,557
I may pass.
85
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:00,794
Why not try a sauna?
86
00:06:01,195 --> 00:06:03,964
Inhale the steam,
exhale your stress,
87
00:06:04,231 --> 00:06:07,201
release your happiness
hormones.
88
00:06:07,634 --> 00:06:09,635
Goodness, who needs therapy
89
00:06:09,636 --> 00:06:11,939
when a room full of steam
can do all that?
90
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:20,480
The man who expired...
91
00:06:20,481 --> 00:06:21,647
Clive Bairstow.
92
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:22,815
His widow, poor thing,
93
00:06:22,816 --> 00:06:23,850
needed someone to talk to.
94
00:06:23,851 --> 00:06:25,084
A shoulder to cry on.
95
00:06:25,085 --> 00:06:26,987
Mm, message from my mother.
96
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:31,958
Currently ensconced in what
she insists on referring to as,
97
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,795
‘The Big Apple’.
- Yep. Sorry.
98
00:06:35,729 --> 00:06:36,963
Well, Mrs. Bairstow...
99
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:38,831
She’s gone to stay with
her daughter...
100
00:06:38,832 --> 00:06:40,500
Here we are, the point of
the missive,
101
00:06:40,501 --> 00:06:44,904
in two days she returns to
‘Dear Old Blighty’.
102
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:47,740
Look, se only does it to annoy
because she knows it teases.
103
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:54,248
Anyway, it was her husband’s
fourth stroke.
104
00:06:55,048 --> 00:06:55,983
Marvelous.
105
00:06:56,216 --> 00:06:59,019
Nothing like a sudden death
to brighten the day.
106
00:07:11,365 --> 00:07:12,733
Go on, Dad.
107
00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:16,236
That’s not bad.
108
00:07:24,378 --> 00:07:25,379
No.
109
00:07:26,647 --> 00:07:28,081
Don’t do that.
110
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:31,718
You gonna throw that?
111
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,075
You look...
112
00:08:23,770 --> 00:08:25,105
You’re very kind.
113
00:08:26,607 --> 00:08:27,741
Shall we?
114
00:08:29,977 --> 00:08:31,612
- Thank you.
- You’re welcome.
115
00:08:38,352 --> 00:08:40,821
I’m sorry, again, um...
116
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,222
we’ve had to close part of
the dining room.
117
00:08:43,223 --> 00:08:45,926
Would you mind if another couple
shared your table?
118
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:50,496
Um, no, no, of course not.
119
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:52,266
So long as it’s not
the Muldersons.
120
00:09:01,508 --> 00:09:02,608
Didn’t you see them?
121
00:09:02,609 --> 00:09:04,311
No, no I did not.
122
00:09:05,479 --> 00:09:06,914
Permission to board?
123
00:09:07,381 --> 00:09:09,683
Oh, yes, permission granted.
124
00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:13,921
I’m, uh, Helena.
125
00:09:14,821 --> 00:09:16,322
and this is...
- Jasper.
126
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:18,157
- Yeah.
- Kit and Naomi.
127
00:09:18,158 --> 00:09:20,192
I think we saw you last night,
didn’t we?
128
00:09:20,193 --> 00:09:23,429
Yes, um, too late to do anything
I’m afraid.
129
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:24,797
- Yes.
- You arrived
130
00:09:24,798 --> 00:09:26,433
before the paramedics.
131
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,769
Yes, um, my, my surgery’s
practically next door.
132
00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:33,106
Oh, so that’s why he called you.
133
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:34,907
Ah...
134
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:37,009
My darling husband is implying
135
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:39,179
that there was
an ulterior motive.
136
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:43,150
Oh, go on,
you’re dying to tell them.
137
00:09:43,417 --> 00:09:45,886
Right, Finlay Crawford...
138
00:09:47,154 --> 00:09:48,622
- The owner.
- And...
139
00:09:48,889 --> 00:09:50,489
Naomi’s ex-husband.
140
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:52,658
We’ve been apart for five years.
141
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:54,226
And he’s still in love with you.
142
00:09:54,227 --> 00:09:55,295
He’s not.
143
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:57,030
He is.
144
00:09:57,631 --> 00:09:59,032
So, um...
145
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:01,233
how long have you two
been married?
146
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:04,236
Oh, no, uh, no,
we're... we’re not.
147
00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:05,438
- Oh.
- Oh...
148
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:07,808
We are test driving
149
00:10:08,508 --> 00:10:10,110
a, uh...
150
00:10:10,544 --> 00:10:11,912
potential relationship.
151
00:10:12,379 --> 00:10:13,379
Oh.
152
00:10:19,886 --> 00:10:21,588
- It’s all your fault.
- Oh...
153
00:10:21,989 --> 00:10:24,758
- Don’t pull that face.
- Every single time, don’t...
154
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:36,236
Stop.
155
00:10:37,571 --> 00:10:39,472
Shut up, you’re embarrassing
yourself.
156
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:41,141
- You’re embarrassing me.
- You’re embarrassing.
157
00:10:41,742 --> 00:10:43,076
Are you okay?
158
00:10:43,577 --> 00:10:45,444
- Not really.
- You’re hurting her.
159
00:10:45,445 --> 00:10:47,446
Yeah, it’s got nothing
to do with you, mate.
160
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:49,216
And yet here I am.
161
00:10:49,583 --> 00:10:50,483
It’s got nothing to do with you.
162
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:51,785
Yeah, you said that.
163
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:58,392
Sit down, finish your drink.
164
00:11:05,532 --> 00:11:07,667
So, what do you do
for a living?
165
00:11:09,469 --> 00:11:10,404
Um...
166
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:12,873
finance.
- Oh.
167
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:15,342
Hmm.
168
00:11:15,742 --> 00:11:18,111
And how the devil is
the world of finance?
169
00:11:20,914 --> 00:11:23,717
We’re also test-driving
casual conversation.
170
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:26,419
Yeah, I’ve had better times.
171
00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:29,622
Surprise.
172
00:11:33,393 --> 00:11:35,094
- Blow out the candles.
- Okay.
173
00:11:35,095 --> 00:11:36,529
Make a wish.
174
00:11:44,104 --> 00:11:46,373
They’re trick candles!
175
00:11:49,109 --> 00:11:50,009
Trick candles.
176
00:11:50,010 --> 00:11:51,944
Mm, I thought she was a witch.
177
00:11:51,945 --> 00:11:54,147
Dear God.
178
00:11:54,614 --> 00:11:57,017
Oh! Go on, cut the cake.
179
00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:58,884
I want to see you cutting
the cake.
180
00:11:58,885 --> 00:11:59,919
Here we go, ah...
181
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,022
How much more of this
must we endure?
182
00:12:02,989 --> 00:12:04,925
Oh, my God.
183
00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:10,362
Oh, it’s your favorite.
184
00:12:10,363 --> 00:12:11,498
Kit?
185
00:12:11,798 --> 00:12:13,133
- Kit?
- Are you alright?
186
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:17,736
Kit? Kit?! Kit? Kit!
Uh, can you get the spray
187
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:19,672
from his jacket pocket? Kit?
Kit, Kit, stay with me.
188
00:12:19,673 --> 00:12:21,006
There’s a spray
in the jacket pocket.
189
00:12:21,007 --> 00:12:23,242
Kit, stay with me, stay with me.
Yes. Thank you.
190
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:24,243
Kit, stay with me.
191
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:26,045
Keep your eyes open,
keep your eyes open.
192
00:12:26,046 --> 00:12:27,813
Kit?
- Get an ambulance, hurry.
193
00:12:27,814 --> 00:12:32,118
Oh, oh, Kit. Kit, Kit, stay with
me, please don’t leave.
194
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:39,291
Tell your waiter to secure
all the food on this table.
195
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:40,626
What?
, Kit.
196
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:42,595
It may be required as evidence.
197
00:12:42,596 --> 00:12:46,699
Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
198
00:12:54,174 --> 00:12:55,375
Mr Crawford?
199
00:12:57,177 --> 00:12:59,746
Any news on Dr. Ascherson’s
husband?
200
00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:01,681
He didn’t make it.
201
00:13:02,048 --> 00:13:04,151
Uh, allergic reaction, or...?
202
00:13:04,751 --> 00:13:07,653
All our guests are asked
about allergies, as you know.
203
00:13:07,654 --> 00:13:08,889
Mistake?
204
00:13:09,656 --> 00:13:11,290
If you don’t have
a food allergen certificate,
205
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:12,459
you don’t work here.
206
00:13:17,497 --> 00:13:19,431
Bridge Street Hotel and Spa,
207
00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:21,033
it’s 500 quid a night
208
00:13:21,034 --> 00:13:22,434
and they’ve had two
sudden deaths
209
00:13:22,435 --> 00:13:24,036
in the space of 24 hours.
210
00:13:24,037 --> 00:13:25,371
Oh, you lose a star for that.
211
00:13:25,372 --> 00:13:27,273
Yeah, well, the deaths aren’t
being treated
212
00:13:27,274 --> 00:13:29,508
as suspicious.
- So...?
213
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:31,076
So, the hotel’s still open,
214
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:33,979
and I have volunteered you both
to go.
215
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:34,814
Because?
216
00:13:35,015 --> 00:13:36,582
Professor Tempest
is staying there.
217
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:37,783
Hmm...
218
00:13:37,784 --> 00:13:39,051
And I don’t want him,
out of boredom,
219
00:13:39,052 --> 00:13:41,754
or curiosity or whatever
it is that goes on in there,
220
00:13:41,755 --> 00:13:43,455
to interfere with procedure.
221
00:13:43,456 --> 00:13:46,325
and you know how to handle him,
you do.
222
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:49,629
So, get in, get it signed off
and get out.
223
00:13:50,797 --> 00:13:52,299
Ah, I didn’t realize
you were up.
224
00:13:52,732 --> 00:13:54,567
- Mm.
- And fully dressed.
225
00:13:58,205 --> 00:14:01,740
I am seriously considering...
a mud bath.
226
00:14:04,744 --> 00:14:07,713
I just heard that Kit actually
died last night.
227
00:14:07,714 --> 00:14:09,115
So tragic.
228
00:14:14,654 --> 00:14:17,691
I can practically hear
the wheels turning.
229
00:14:18,124 --> 00:14:20,659
Jasper, an old man died
of a stroke,
230
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:23,263
Kit probably died of
a heart attack.
231
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:26,365
Nitro-glycerin spray
in his jacket pocket,
232
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:27,667
he had a heart condition.
233
00:14:28,101 --> 00:14:30,604
I don’t think there’s a mystery,
234
00:14:31,338 --> 00:14:33,340
except for us...
235
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:36,108
we’re the mystery.
236
00:14:36,109 --> 00:14:36,842
Mm.
237
00:14:38,712 --> 00:14:41,648
I believe that after
an unpromising start,
238
00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:46,019
this... was a positive
interaction.
239
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:52,192
Accompanied by sincerity
and empathy.
240
00:14:56,029 --> 00:14:59,666
His wife tried CPR,
she’s a doctor.
241
00:14:59,866 --> 00:15:01,468
And who was closest to them?
242
00:15:01,835 --> 00:15:04,104
Professor Tempest
and Dr. Goldberg.
243
00:15:05,205 --> 00:15:06,039
How close?
244
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:08,775
Well, they were sharing
the same table.
245
00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:12,879
Okay, thanks, that’s...
that’s all for now.
246
00:15:16,683 --> 00:15:17,650
We’re gonna have to take
a statement
247
00:15:17,651 --> 00:15:19,052
from Professor Tempest,
248
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:22,589
just, um, stick to the facts,
right, keep it simple.
249
00:15:23,657 --> 00:15:25,091
I’ve got a gig tonight...
250
00:15:26,393 --> 00:15:27,661
in Weymouth...
251
00:15:29,062 --> 00:15:31,830
with my dad’s brass band.
252
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:35,034
...well, I'm going to change.
253
00:15:35,035 --> 00:15:36,235
Mm!
254
00:15:37,671 --> 00:15:39,139
Do you think that’s why
he’s here?
255
00:15:39,406 --> 00:15:42,074
Do you think they’re having like
a naughty weekend?
256
00:15:42,075 --> 00:15:44,911
Don’t say that. Professor!
257
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:50,984
Just need the facts, we’re not
treating this as suspicious.
258
00:15:51,618 --> 00:15:53,886
Please do not ask me to accept
two deaths
259
00:15:53,887 --> 00:15:55,421
on two consecutive nights
260
00:15:55,422 --> 00:15:57,690
in the same location
as coincidence.
261
00:15:57,691 --> 00:16:00,926
Well, I mean, coincidences
happen all the time.
262
00:16:00,927 --> 00:16:03,696
Let us tarry a while
263
00:16:03,697 --> 00:16:07,300
in the slowly dwindling world
of facts.
264
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:08,901
Before she was married to
Kit Howard,
265
00:16:08,902 --> 00:16:10,502
Dr. Naomi Ascherson
266
00:16:10,503 --> 00:16:13,372
was betrothed to the owner of
this very establishment,
267
00:16:13,373 --> 00:16:14,707
Finley Crawford.
268
00:16:14,708 --> 00:16:18,510
Another fact, noticing
Mr. Kit Howard’s discomfort,
269
00:16:18,511 --> 00:16:19,745
when asked about his metier,
270
00:16:19,746 --> 00:16:21,347
I took the opportunity
of perusing
271
00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:22,816
the Companies House website.
272
00:16:23,016 --> 00:16:27,120
His finance business went into
administration three months ago.
273
00:16:28,288 --> 00:16:30,190
Okay. Thanks.
274
00:16:34,894 --> 00:16:37,029
- Winters.
- I've got the prelims
275
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:38,030
from the lab.
276
00:16:38,031 --> 00:16:40,232
The first death...
- Clive Bairstow.
277
00:16:40,233 --> 00:16:44,204
Yeah. Massive stroke,
instant death, as expected.
278
00:16:44,404 --> 00:16:49,875
But Kit Howard’s biomarkers are
indicating cyanide poisoning.
279
00:16:49,876 --> 00:16:52,044
I’m gonna run some more tests,
but as a priority,
280
00:16:52,045 --> 00:16:53,545
would you let his wife know?
281
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:55,215
- Yes, Ma’am.
- Thanks.
282
00:16:57,484 --> 00:16:59,085
Better tell my dad.
283
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:01,721
Weymouth won’t know what
it’s missing.
284
00:17:09,262 --> 00:17:10,263
Cyanide?
285
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:18,571
I...I assumed it was his heart.
286
00:17:21,107 --> 00:17:23,777
He was convulsing,
his eyes were bloodshot,
287
00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:26,912
why didn’t I see it?
- It was fast acting,
288
00:17:26,913 --> 00:17:28,113
there was nothing
you could’ve done.
289
00:17:28,114 --> 00:17:29,314
I’m a doctor, for God’s sake,
290
00:17:29,315 --> 00:17:30,582
if I got saltwater into him,
291
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:32,118
he might still be alive.
292
00:17:35,321 --> 00:17:37,389
Can you think of anyone who, um,
293
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:38,925
who might wanna do him harm?
294
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,995
No.
295
00:17:43,163 --> 00:17:45,931
We know he was having
financial difficulties.
296
00:17:45,932 --> 00:17:49,168
Well, hi... his business was
in the hands of the receivers,
297
00:17:49,169 --> 00:17:51,304
but all the creditors were
gonna get paid.
298
00:17:54,841 --> 00:17:57,277
You used to be married
to Finlay Crawford?
299
00:17:58,912 --> 00:17:59,679
Really?
300
00:18:00,046 --> 00:18:01,313
Is this where you’re going?
301
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:03,982
Whose idea was the separation?
302
00:18:03,983 --> 00:18:06,919
Ah, I don’t know, it was mutual.
303
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,854
Wasn’t that a bit odd
that you...
304
00:18:08,855 --> 00:18:10,623
Dining there? No.
305
00:18:11,491 --> 00:18:14,726
Finlay had invited us, I...
I’d helped with a situation.
306
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:17,229
- Stroke victim.
- Yes, uh...
307
00:18:17,230 --> 00:18:18,730
there was nothing I could do.
308
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:28,974
Our forensics officers need to
take a look in your kitchen,
309
00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:31,610
remove food stuffs, drinks,
glassware, crockery,
310
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:33,645
that sort of thing.
311
00:18:33,646 --> 00:18:36,349
Um, Kit Howard was poisoned.
312
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:39,385
Seriously? Poisoned?
313
00:18:39,853 --> 00:18:41,588
Do we have your permission?
314
00:18:42,388 --> 00:18:43,723
Of course.
315
00:18:45,825 --> 00:18:48,494
We, uh, we kept the food
from the table
316
00:18:48,495 --> 00:18:50,262
where, um, I...
317
00:18:50,263 --> 00:18:51,864
I told the waiter
it could be evidence.
318
00:18:51,865 --> 00:18:54,066
Right, and he, um, he sealed it?
319
00:18:54,067 --> 00:18:55,401
Air lock Tupperware.
320
00:18:56,236 --> 00:18:59,605
Could I just ask,
wasn’t it awkward,
321
00:18:59,606 --> 00:19:01,841
Naomi and her new
husband dining here?
322
00:19:02,609 --> 00:19:04,077
Of course it was awkward.
323
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:08,981
N...Naomi left me
at my lowest point.
324
00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:10,582
I thought I was losing
the business,
325
00:19:10,583 --> 00:19:13,519
I’d spent 15 years building
this place up
326
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,753
and then, in the middle of that,
327
00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:16,822
she announced that she’d
found someone else.
328
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:17,856
Do you have children?
329
00:19:17,857 --> 00:19:20,058
No... thank goodness.
330
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:23,162
She got Charlie,
that was bad enough.
331
00:19:23,963 --> 00:19:24,831
Charlie?
332
00:19:25,932 --> 00:19:26,900
Our dog.
333
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:28,768
Got hit by a car.
334
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:31,371
Sorry.
335
00:19:39,078 --> 00:19:40,547
I told the waiter,
336
00:19:40,947 --> 00:19:43,849
everything on that table,
label it to be kept,
337
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:45,284
put it on the top shelf.
338
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:46,418
You saw him do that?
339
00:19:46,419 --> 00:19:47,886
If I tell someone to
do something,
340
00:19:47,887 --> 00:19:49,288
I expect it to be done.
341
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:50,389
Okay, but did you actually...
342
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:52,825
The boss came in,
no more covers,
343
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:55,194
no need for me to stick around.
344
00:19:55,929 --> 00:19:58,765
Probably someone on the
breakfast shift chucked it out.
345
00:19:59,399 --> 00:20:00,867
Where are your bins?
346
00:20:01,301 --> 00:20:02,702
Emptied this morning.
347
00:20:12,111 --> 00:20:14,012
- DS Winters.
- Yes.
348
00:20:14,013 --> 00:20:16,014
You have an added briskness
to your pace.
349
00:20:16,015 --> 00:20:17,884
Now why might that be, I wonder?
350
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:21,621
Mm, Kit Howard’s death was
the result of cyanide poisoning.
351
00:20:22,388 --> 00:20:25,023
I should like you to furnish me
with your evidence.
352
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:28,393
Also, the postmortem reports
on both deaths.
353
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:29,728
The first was a stroke.
354
00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:31,064
Triggered by what?
355
00:20:33,766 --> 00:20:35,602
Professor, you’re, um...
356
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:38,170
you’re here with Dr. Goldberg.
357
00:20:38,171 --> 00:20:39,205
Correct.
358
00:20:39,472 --> 00:20:40,740
As a couple?
359
00:20:41,341 --> 00:20:42,642
Putative couple.
360
00:20:44,277 --> 00:20:46,378
I don’t know what that
means exactly.
361
00:20:46,379 --> 00:20:48,982
But, um, what I do know...
362
00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:53,385
don’t prioritize work over
time with...
363
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:56,990
somebody who’s important to you.
364
00:21:09,535 --> 00:21:11,536
Uh, come.
365
00:21:12,639 --> 00:21:13,706
Lunch?
366
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:16,575
Mm, I have received
the autopsy reports
367
00:21:16,576 --> 00:21:19,912
on Kit Howard and
Clive Bairstow’s deaths.
368
00:21:21,748 --> 00:21:23,716
Oh.
369
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:26,586
Okay.
370
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:28,488
And?
371
00:21:28,855 --> 00:21:30,657
Oh, well, I mean I...
372
00:21:31,257 --> 00:21:35,261
Yes, well, I...I...I...
I will delete them and, um,
373
00:21:35,928 --> 00:21:38,497
yes, cast the incident
from my mind
374
00:21:38,498 --> 00:21:40,800
while we enjoy our break.
375
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:45,737
Even though you think
there’s a possibility
376
00:21:45,738 --> 00:21:48,306
that someone was murdered
right in front of you?
377
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:49,342
Yes.
378
00:21:51,244 --> 00:21:53,012
- Jasper?
- Mm?
379
00:21:54,347 --> 00:21:55,882
We’re test driving this thing...
380
00:21:56,716 --> 00:21:58,051
whatever it is.
381
00:21:59,719 --> 00:22:02,655
And I knew there’d be
some rough terrain.
382
00:22:04,590 --> 00:22:07,459
So read the reports,
but promise me one thing.
383
00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:08,661
Alright?
384
00:22:10,263 --> 00:22:13,365
Cyanide is found in various
fruits and vegetables.
385
00:22:13,366 --> 00:22:16,402
- Yes.
- So, if the police believe
386
00:22:16,936 --> 00:22:18,603
that it was an accidental death,
387
00:22:18,604 --> 00:22:20,306
you’ll accept that
388
00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:22,141
and we can get on
with our break.
389
00:22:23,109 --> 00:22:24,242
Of course.
390
00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:28,581
I’m trusting you.
391
00:22:42,595 --> 00:22:46,966
PA system: Attention,
the store will be closing...
392
00:22:47,567 --> 00:22:48,567
Hi.
393
00:22:52,105 --> 00:22:53,172
Hi.
394
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:55,975
All that just for you?
395
00:22:56,476 --> 00:22:57,410
Um...
396
00:22:58,144 --> 00:23:00,613
I was supposed to be in
Weymouth tonight.
397
00:23:01,314 --> 00:23:02,814
Yeah?
398
00:23:02,815 --> 00:23:04,382
I play in a band.
399
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:05,251
Oh.
400
00:23:07,553 --> 00:23:09,055
A brass band.
401
00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:15,160
You’re in a brass band,
you buy meat in tins,
402
00:23:15,161 --> 00:23:16,762
play darts with your dad,
have you slipped
403
00:23:16,763 --> 00:23:18,897
through a portal from the 1970s?
404
00:23:18,898 --> 00:23:20,398
Yeah, well, don’t knock it.
405
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,501
How many people do you know
with a black and white TV?
406
00:23:22,502 --> 00:23:24,237
Oh, not many.
407
00:23:25,538 --> 00:23:27,472
Well, hey, if you can tear
yourself away
408
00:23:27,473 --> 00:23:29,242
from your prehistoric telly,
409
00:23:30,343 --> 00:23:31,711
I’d like to buy you a drink,
410
00:23:32,245 --> 00:23:33,913
say thanks for last night.
411
00:23:36,482 --> 00:23:37,716
What about your boyfriend?
412
00:23:37,717 --> 00:23:39,752
No, he’s history.
413
00:23:41,954 --> 00:23:42,889
Um...
414
00:23:43,990 --> 00:23:45,892
It’s really nice of you but,
um...
415
00:23:47,293 --> 00:23:48,795
I’m gonna have to say no.
416
00:23:49,462 --> 00:23:50,563
Sorry.
417
00:23:50,863 --> 00:23:52,565
No, it’s... it’s okay.
418
00:23:54,133 --> 00:23:55,134
Um...
419
00:24:00,072 --> 00:24:01,040
Gym?
420
00:24:02,074 --> 00:24:03,441
You trying to flog me
a membership.
421
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:06,244
Um, I own the gym.
422
00:24:07,313 --> 00:24:09,481
Um, that’s my business card
423
00:24:09,482 --> 00:24:12,084
and that’s... my number...
424
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:14,720
if you change your mind.
425
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:26,765
Okay, handbrake turn
on the cyanide case,
426
00:24:26,766 --> 00:24:28,633
the full autopsy for Kit Howard
427
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:29,835
came in overnight
428
00:24:29,836 --> 00:24:33,371
and slivers of semi-digested
cassava
429
00:24:33,372 --> 00:24:35,207
were found in his stomach.
430
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:36,808
Cassava, as you know,
431
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:39,945
contains a naturally occurring
form of cyanide.
432
00:24:39,946 --> 00:24:41,680
Soaked and cooked properly,
it’s harmless.
433
00:24:41,681 --> 00:24:44,182
However, incorrectly prepared,
it can be deadly.
434
00:24:44,183 --> 00:24:46,084
Yes, and there’s no prizes
for guessing
435
00:24:46,085 --> 00:24:49,021
that the traces found in
Kit Howard were uncooked.
436
00:24:49,288 --> 00:24:51,456
So, we’re thinking
accidental death?
437
00:24:51,457 --> 00:24:53,325
Yeah, or a mistake
in the kitchen,
438
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:54,693
possible negligence.
439
00:24:54,694 --> 00:24:55,727
Food safety?
440
00:24:55,728 --> 00:24:56,928
I’ve called them in.
441
00:24:56,929 --> 00:24:58,663
I need you both to go back to
the hotel,
442
00:24:58,664 --> 00:25:00,999
speak to the owner again,
and the staff,
443
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,202
especially the kitchen staff.
I’ve worked in kitchens.
444
00:25:04,203 --> 00:25:06,973
- Have you?
- Yeah, full of surprises, me.
445
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,241
And I can guarantee you,
there will be somebody there
446
00:25:09,242 --> 00:25:10,842
with a bit of gossip, a grudge,
447
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,678
just something that will open
this up.
448
00:25:14,981 --> 00:25:18,016
Pointing the finger at my staff,
my business...
449
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:19,819
Well, would you rather
he’d been murdered?
450
00:25:21,587 --> 00:25:22,822
Honestly?
451
00:25:24,357 --> 00:25:25,758
Of course, not.
452
00:25:26,125 --> 00:25:29,028
Is cassava something that you
regularly use?
453
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:32,764
The chef used to crush it
to make flour for tortillas
454
00:25:32,765 --> 00:25:34,633
but that was months ago.
455
00:25:34,634 --> 00:25:37,302
Was it possible some of
the plant was kept by accident?
456
00:25:37,303 --> 00:25:40,273
Mistaken for some other
vegetable, added to Kit’s salad?
457
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:45,710
This is gonna finish me.
458
00:25:53,686 --> 00:25:55,955
I thought no more meals
were being served?
459
00:25:56,155 --> 00:25:57,590
The staff need to eat.
460
00:25:58,357 --> 00:25:59,625
They trust you.
461
00:26:02,595 --> 00:26:05,264
When was the last time
you used cassava?
462
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:10,436
You, um...
463
00:26:10,903 --> 00:26:13,306
you know that’s what
killed Kit Howard?
464
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,007
Boss said.
465
00:26:15,541 --> 00:26:18,577
Right, well, could it have got
onto his plate by accident?
466
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:21,246
You’re accusing me
of gross negligence,
467
00:26:21,247 --> 00:26:22,981
you’d better have
something to back it up.
468
00:26:22,982 --> 00:26:24,150
Julian?
469
00:26:24,650 --> 00:26:26,985
You told us two nights ago
you left early,
470
00:26:26,986 --> 00:26:28,186
and I’ve just spoken to staff
471
00:26:28,187 --> 00:26:30,690
and they said you were
the last one to leave.
472
00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:33,960
Well, that puts you in line
with the evidence.
473
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:37,662
Listen, Julian mate, I think
you’d better come with us.
474
00:26:37,663 --> 00:26:39,030
Do not come near me.
475
00:26:39,031 --> 00:26:40,599
Put the knife down.
476
00:26:41,267 --> 00:26:42,934
Whatever’s in your pocket,
mate, leave it.
477
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:44,502
You’re not taking me in.
478
00:26:44,503 --> 00:26:45,705
Argh!
479
00:26:46,973 --> 00:26:49,074
Julian Morten,
you’re under arrest
480
00:26:49,075 --> 00:26:51,042
in connection with the unlawful
killing of Kit Howard.
481
00:26:51,043 --> 00:26:53,511
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense
482
00:26:53,512 --> 00:26:55,213
if you fail to mention,
when questioned,
483
00:26:55,214 --> 00:26:57,583
something which
you later rely on in court.
484
00:26:58,651 --> 00:27:00,953
I suffer from claustrophobia,
485
00:27:01,153 --> 00:27:04,622
in the event of an attack...
what does that say?
486
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:06,558
- Call this number.
- Call this number,
487
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,760
not spray me in the eyes
with CS gas.
488
00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:10,962
He was holding a knife.
489
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:12,765
He was chopping vegetables.
490
00:27:14,934 --> 00:27:16,534
Okay.
491
00:27:16,535 --> 00:27:17,869
Under pressure, who knows,
492
00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:20,038
maybe I would’ve done the same.
493
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:23,075
But in your report I wanna know
what you’ve learned from this.
494
00:27:23,576 --> 00:27:25,745
- Alright. Thanks, Ma’am.
- Thanks, Ma’am.
495
00:27:27,747 --> 00:27:30,883
I’m afraid, uh, our kitchen is
gonna be closed today.
496
00:27:31,183 --> 00:27:33,551
If you’d prefer to leave
the hotel,
497
00:27:33,552 --> 00:27:35,221
we’re offering a full refund.
498
00:27:36,288 --> 00:27:38,157
Well, when will it reopen?
499
00:27:38,524 --> 00:27:40,393
To be honest I...I don’t know.
500
00:27:40,726 --> 00:27:43,195
Our chef’s been taken in
for questioning.
501
00:27:43,696 --> 00:27:45,765
In connection with
Kit Howard’s death?
502
00:27:46,198 --> 00:27:48,566
Police think it was
probably accidental.
503
00:27:48,567 --> 00:27:51,569
But, um, they’re not
ruling out negligence,
504
00:27:51,570 --> 00:27:54,873
so, the hotel can stay open
for now, but...
505
00:27:54,874 --> 00:27:56,976
Sorry.
- Oh, thank you.
506
00:27:59,545 --> 00:28:01,013
Accidental death.
507
00:28:01,714 --> 00:28:03,349
Possibly negligence.
508
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:08,587
Two days of balmy sunshine is
forecast for the Devon coast.
509
00:28:09,088 --> 00:28:11,590
Why have the police not
informed me of this?
510
00:28:11,891 --> 00:28:14,060
Because it’s not a homicide.
511
00:28:15,261 --> 00:28:18,596
Jasper, we can just collect
our refund and go.
512
00:28:23,369 --> 00:28:25,204
But this is where
the answers are.
513
00:28:26,439 --> 00:28:28,007
There’s no puzzle.
514
00:28:28,607 --> 00:28:32,044
Come on.
515
00:28:33,312 --> 00:28:35,848
I need to speak to DCI Goswami.
516
00:28:38,984 --> 00:28:40,152
Alright.
517
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:42,687
I’m going for a swim,
followed by a sauna
518
00:28:42,688 --> 00:28:44,123
and a massage.
519
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:46,558
And I might even have
a pedicure...
520
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:48,027
and a glass of champagne...
521
00:28:48,928 --> 00:28:50,228
or three.
522
00:28:51,864 --> 00:28:54,099
Naomi...
523
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:55,267
It’s me.
524
00:28:57,937 --> 00:29:00,939
Were you... were so
jealous that you would...
525
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:03,542
Of course not.
It was accidental.
526
00:29:04,176 --> 00:29:07,179
Finlay! Finlay!
527
00:29:09,582 --> 00:29:11,016
Accidental?
528
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:13,685
How can cyanide be accidental?
529
00:29:13,686 --> 00:29:14,719
Dr. Ascherson.
530
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,655
What are the police
doing about it?
531
00:29:17,256 --> 00:29:19,724
I see, thank you.
532
00:29:24,897 --> 00:29:27,465
The police believe there was
uncooked cassava
533
00:29:27,466 --> 00:29:29,101
in your husband’s salad.
534
00:29:29,835 --> 00:29:30,970
Cassava?
535
00:29:31,337 --> 00:29:32,738
Hence the cyanide.
536
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:38,710
Well, I’m gonna sue...
and get this place shut down.
537
00:29:38,711 --> 00:29:40,512
He’s, he’s so careless.
538
00:29:40,513 --> 00:29:41,713
Well, he did get our booking
wrong.
539
00:29:41,714 --> 00:29:43,114
When he offered me
a free dinner,
540
00:29:43,115 --> 00:29:44,816
all my instincts were
telling me to say no,
541
00:29:44,817 --> 00:29:46,818
he’s careless,
his staff are careless,
542
00:29:46,819 --> 00:29:48,586
and then someone...
543
00:29:48,587 --> 00:29:49,788
sorry...
544
00:29:50,322 --> 00:29:52,057
someone dies.
545
00:30:37,369 --> 00:30:38,503
Professor!
546
00:30:38,504 --> 00:30:39,571
DCI Goswami,
547
00:30:39,572 --> 00:30:40,772
I have been looking at
548
00:30:40,773 --> 00:30:43,475
Mr. Clive Bairstow’s autopsy
report.
549
00:30:44,076 --> 00:30:46,811
On page eight, mentioned
almost in passing...
550
00:30:46,812 --> 00:30:48,980
A fragment of vegetative
matter,
551
00:30:48,981 --> 00:30:50,748
insufficient to cause
blockage,
552
00:30:50,749 --> 00:30:52,917
was removed from
the esophagus.
553
00:30:52,918 --> 00:30:54,720
I do read these things,
you know.
554
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,156
I did not wish to imply
otherwise.
555
00:30:57,790 --> 00:31:00,325
Yeah, when we found out
Kit Howard’s cause of death,
556
00:31:00,326 --> 00:31:02,126
I asked for some more details,
557
00:31:02,127 --> 00:31:05,530
and the vegetative matter
in Clive Bairstow’s throat
558
00:31:05,531 --> 00:31:08,233
was also cassava.
559
00:31:09,735 --> 00:31:12,003
Odd choice of holiday reading,
Professor,
560
00:31:12,004 --> 00:31:14,573
Clive Bairstow’s autopsy, mm?
561
00:31:15,207 --> 00:31:17,409
Goodbye.
562
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:19,111
Come in.
563
00:31:19,411 --> 00:31:20,645
- Ma’am?
- Yes?
564
00:31:20,646 --> 00:31:22,614
Is Julian Morten fit to be
interviewed?
565
00:31:22,615 --> 00:31:25,184
He’s still in hospital. Why?
What have you got?
566
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:29,520
So, Morten’s last job
567
00:31:29,521 --> 00:31:31,389
was at the Crosslands
Manor Hotel
568
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:32,624
in Mayfair.
- Mm-hmm.
569
00:31:32,625 --> 00:31:33,758
Two years ago, they had
an outbreak
570
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:35,493
of food poisoning.
571
00:31:35,494 --> 00:31:36,527
And was he charged?
572
00:31:36,528 --> 00:31:38,963
No, but what I’m thinking
is that
573
00:31:38,964 --> 00:31:42,101
Finaly Crawford would’ve known
about the Crosslands incident.
574
00:31:42,301 --> 00:31:43,902
Mm, possibly.
575
00:31:45,537 --> 00:31:46,905
Okay.
576
00:31:47,473 --> 00:31:50,508
Let’s just say
I’m Finlay Crawford
577
00:31:50,509 --> 00:31:53,312
and in a fit of jealousy,
578
00:31:53,612 --> 00:31:55,446
I wanna kill Kit Howard,
579
00:31:55,447 --> 00:31:56,614
how am I gonna do that?
580
00:31:56,615 --> 00:31:59,384
Oh, I know,
I will invite Kit and Naomi
581
00:31:59,385 --> 00:32:00,885
to the hotel for dinner,
582
00:32:00,886 --> 00:32:04,922
I’ll poison him and then,
because of Julian’s history,
583
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:07,625
he’s gonna get blamed for it,
and I’ll be in the clear.
584
00:32:12,331 --> 00:32:13,998
I’ll contact the hospital.
585
00:32:15,834 --> 00:32:17,169
Thank you, Ma’am.
586
00:32:21,573 --> 00:32:24,209
So are you telling me that
the stroke victim
587
00:32:24,810 --> 00:32:26,711
had also eaten cassava?
588
00:32:26,712 --> 00:32:28,380
- Exactly.
- Thanks.
589
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,381
Well, doesn’t that just
mean there was
590
00:32:30,382 --> 00:32:32,217
a mistake in the kitchen?
591
00:32:32,818 --> 00:32:35,053
Someone, you know, put
something in the wrong container
592
00:32:35,054 --> 00:32:37,856
and, tragically, it caused
two deaths?
593
00:32:38,324 --> 00:32:39,490
Mm.
594
00:32:39,491 --> 00:32:42,160
- What?
- You are, of course, aware
595
00:32:42,161 --> 00:32:45,296
that a disproportionate number
of poisoners are women
596
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:47,799
and, of those, a significant
fraction
597
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,300
work in the medical profession.
598
00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:53,304
Jasper, don’t you think
that the shock
599
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:55,908
of seeing somebody die
at our table
600
00:32:56,175 --> 00:32:57,876
might be skewing your judgment?
601
00:32:58,210 --> 00:32:59,244
Mm?
602
00:32:59,712 --> 00:33:01,980
Where’s that compatibility
checklist?
603
00:33:02,247 --> 00:33:03,715
So, we ticked honesty,
604
00:33:03,716 --> 00:33:05,616
we’ve ticked, uh, effective
communication...
605
00:33:05,617 --> 00:33:08,953
Uh, very well. The notion that
I may have been unable
606
00:33:08,954 --> 00:33:13,992
to prevent a homicide
in plain sight, um,
607
00:33:15,361 --> 00:33:17,695
yes, I can see that, um,
that could,
608
00:33:17,696 --> 00:33:21,266
um, could be exerting some...
609
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:23,769
vague influence.
610
00:33:26,338 --> 00:33:27,740
Come on.
611
00:33:28,273 --> 00:33:30,309
Two days on the Devon coast,
612
00:33:31,443 --> 00:33:32,745
this will wait.
613
00:33:33,312 --> 00:33:34,479
Will it, though?
614
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,714
What if DCI Goswami
615
00:33:36,715 --> 00:33:37,982
charges the wrong person?
616
00:33:37,983 --> 00:33:39,016
Well, she won’t.
617
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:41,053
Because it’s an
accidental death.
618
00:33:41,954 --> 00:33:44,923
Jasper, you promised.
619
00:33:49,294 --> 00:33:51,497
It is not an accidental death.
620
00:34:03,175 --> 00:34:04,442
Okay.
621
00:34:04,443 --> 00:34:05,576
Mm.
622
00:34:05,577 --> 00:34:07,179
Yeah, I’ll see you,
623
00:34:07,546 --> 00:34:08,981
assuming you want to,
624
00:34:09,314 --> 00:34:11,282
back in Cambridge.
- What?
625
00:34:13,285 --> 00:34:14,686
Helena.
626
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:23,295
Room 12, checking out.
627
00:34:23,495 --> 00:34:25,898
Oh, um, was everything okay?
628
00:34:26,165 --> 00:34:27,833
Yes, it, it was fine.
629
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:34,072
Sorry, I can’t find my key.
630
00:34:42,347 --> 00:34:44,015
Dear God!
631
00:34:44,016 --> 00:34:47,753
They’re trick candles!
632
00:34:50,689 --> 00:34:53,357
I wonder if you could tell me
what room
633
00:34:53,358 --> 00:34:55,426
Simon and Paula Mulderson
are in?
634
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:56,661
Oh, they checked out.
635
00:34:56,662 --> 00:34:58,630
Oh, alright.
636
00:35:05,003 --> 00:35:07,038
Oh, he’s forgotten
his lucky hat.
637
00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:08,072
Left it on the bedpost.
638
00:35:08,073 --> 00:35:09,941
Last time it was me,
do you remember?
639
00:35:09,942 --> 00:35:12,109
I came back for my glasses.
- They were on her head.
640
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:15,147
The whole time on my head.
641
00:35:15,647 --> 00:35:18,516
Excuse me, I, um, I know this
might sound a bit odd
642
00:35:18,517 --> 00:35:20,751
but I need a favor.
643
00:35:20,752 --> 00:35:21,720
A favor?
644
00:35:22,187 --> 00:35:24,923
You’re right, it does sound
rather odd.
645
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:28,359
You know, to respect
the tranquility of the spa,
646
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,096
my husband and I...
- As Christians.
647
00:35:31,296 --> 00:35:32,564
We turn the other cheek.
648
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:35,833
But it has to be said,
your partner...
649
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:40,439
Probably the rudest man
we’ve ever met.
650
00:35:40,706 --> 00:35:42,774
How on earth do you put up
with him?
651
00:35:44,243 --> 00:35:47,512
That’s what I’m trying to
find out.
652
00:36:07,366 --> 00:36:08,766
Helena?
653
00:36:08,767 --> 00:36:09,735
Look...
654
00:36:10,302 --> 00:36:13,371
Jasper I...I’m doing my best.
655
00:36:13,372 --> 00:36:16,808
But I do need you to
meet me half way.
656
00:36:17,276 --> 00:36:18,610
Helena...
657
00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:21,547
I too am doing my best.
658
00:36:26,852 --> 00:36:28,654
I’ve got something to show you.
659
00:36:29,454 --> 00:36:31,489
The Muldersons sent me a video,
660
00:36:31,490 --> 00:36:35,494
which might prove that
you’re right, I don’t know.
661
00:36:36,662 --> 00:36:38,229
Have a look at this.
662
00:36:44,536 --> 00:36:45,671
What?
663
00:36:46,939 --> 00:36:48,472
Surprise.
664
00:36:48,473 --> 00:36:49,942
Prof T: Any moment now.
665
00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:52,811
Pause.
666
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:55,112
DI Goswami: What am I supposed
to be seeing?
667
00:36:55,113 --> 00:36:56,181
Zoom in.
668
00:36:59,551 --> 00:37:00,652
There.
669
00:37:01,987 --> 00:37:04,288
You think she’s putting
raw cassava onto her...
670
00:37:04,289 --> 00:37:05,657
onto her husband’s plate?
671
00:37:05,958 --> 00:37:08,993
Well, she’ll just say
she was stealing food,
672
00:37:08,994 --> 00:37:11,162
we’ve all done that, haven't we?
673
00:37:11,163 --> 00:37:12,230
No.
674
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:13,999
I have.
675
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:16,201
Well, maybe it’s a woman thing.
676
00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:18,069
More poisoners evade prosecution
677
00:37:18,070 --> 00:37:20,105
than any other category
of killer.
678
00:37:20,372 --> 00:37:22,440
What we need to ask
ourselves is...
679
00:37:22,441 --> 00:37:25,978
what did Naomi Ascherson gain
from her husband’s death?
680
00:37:27,279 --> 00:37:28,813
Could be financial.
681
00:37:28,814 --> 00:37:30,948
Judging from the micro
expressions I observed
682
00:37:30,949 --> 00:37:32,750
while sharing a table
with Dr. Ascherson,
683
00:37:32,751 --> 00:37:35,621
financial concerns are
extremely important to her.
684
00:37:35,821 --> 00:37:37,755
The failure of Kit Howard’s
business
685
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:39,123
was a clear source of pain.
686
00:37:39,124 --> 00:37:42,026
Mm, he filed for bankruptcy
about three months ago.
687
00:37:42,027 --> 00:37:45,262
Also, Finlay Crawford told us
that Naomi left him
688
00:37:45,263 --> 00:37:46,497
when the hotel was failing.
689
00:37:46,498 --> 00:37:47,966
Mm, took Charlie.
690
00:37:48,967 --> 00:37:51,536
Uh, Charlie was their dog, he...
691
00:37:52,304 --> 00:37:54,005
hit by a car, died.
- Mm.
692
00:37:54,006 --> 00:37:56,941
Hang on, Naomi Ascherson
is a very successful woman
693
00:37:56,942 --> 00:37:58,743
with a career most would envy.
694
00:37:58,744 --> 00:38:00,778
Why would it matter
so much to her
695
00:38:00,779 --> 00:38:02,848
if her husband’s business
went under?
696
00:38:03,815 --> 00:38:05,817
Let us suppose for a moment
697
00:38:06,018 --> 00:38:07,818
that she is the living
embodiment
698
00:38:07,819 --> 00:38:10,322
of relative deprivation
syndrome.
699
00:38:10,922 --> 00:38:12,790
In the presence of other
successful people,
700
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:15,661
her own prosperity evaporates.
701
00:38:16,161 --> 00:38:17,628
She therefore chooses husbands
702
00:38:17,629 --> 00:38:19,296
on the basis of their
achievements,
703
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:21,900
their successes are her
successes,
704
00:38:22,134 --> 00:38:28,073
their failures create deep,
painful, psychic wounds.
705
00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:32,376
Is that plausible?
706
00:38:32,377 --> 00:38:34,078
As a theory, maybe.
707
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:37,248
But there is one flaw,
the old guy who died...
708
00:38:37,249 --> 00:38:38,716
Uh, Clive Bairstow.
709
00:38:38,717 --> 00:38:41,186
Clive, he also swallowed
cassava.
710
00:38:41,620 --> 00:38:43,320
Are we saying that
Naomi Ascherson
711
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:44,689
made her way into the kitchen
712
00:38:44,690 --> 00:38:46,324
without anybody seeing her
713
00:38:46,892 --> 00:38:49,160
and added it to the salad mix?
714
00:38:49,161 --> 00:38:50,127
Prof T: No.
715
00:38:50,128 --> 00:38:52,463
That would leave too much
to chance.
716
00:38:52,464 --> 00:38:54,398
As of now, I can only
offer conjecture,
717
00:38:54,399 --> 00:38:55,701
but what I will say,
718
00:38:55,967 --> 00:38:59,603
if you interview her,
Dr. Ascherson will,
719
00:38:59,604 --> 00:39:03,575
at some point, refer to
the death of Clive Bairstow.
720
00:39:16,888 --> 00:39:18,489
If the professor’s right,
721
00:39:18,490 --> 00:39:19,690
even with the film
and everything,
722
00:39:19,691 --> 00:39:21,092
how do we prove
the doctor did it?
723
00:39:21,093 --> 00:39:23,260
Well, we’d need to link her
to the cassava.
724
00:39:23,261 --> 00:39:24,395
Right.
725
00:39:25,731 --> 00:39:27,532
But then how she got it
has she...
726
00:39:27,733 --> 00:39:28,699
has she ordered it online?
727
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:30,201
Has she gone to a market?
728
00:39:32,637 --> 00:39:33,972
Has she grown it?
729
00:39:38,744 --> 00:39:40,311
Yeah, let’s try round the back.
730
00:39:40,312 --> 00:39:41,179
Yeah.
731
00:39:52,624 --> 00:39:54,126
Could be a cassava patch?
732
00:39:56,661 --> 00:39:57,929
Sorry.
733
00:39:59,097 --> 00:40:00,197
I didn’t hear you.
734
00:40:00,198 --> 00:40:01,198
Dr. Ascherson, we need you
735
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:02,366
to come with us.
736
00:40:02,367 --> 00:40:04,535
We’d like you to answer
some questions.
737
00:40:04,536 --> 00:40:05,669
About what?
738
00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:07,839
In connection with
your husband’s death.
739
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:11,676
- And if I refuse?
- You’ll be arrested.
740
00:40:13,011 --> 00:40:14,146
Unbelievable.
741
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:16,981
Once I’ve sued the hotel
for negligence,
742
00:40:16,982 --> 00:40:19,317
I’ll sue you for
wrongful arrest.
743
00:40:19,551 --> 00:40:20,852
And that patch...
744
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,687
that’s my dog.
745
00:40:23,622 --> 00:40:25,023
Why don’t you dig him up?
746
00:40:25,624 --> 00:40:27,192
Have a good root around.
747
00:40:31,897 --> 00:40:35,700
So, three months ago,
Kit Howard filed for bankruptcy
748
00:40:36,034 --> 00:40:38,702
and two days before that there
was a substantial increase
749
00:40:38,703 --> 00:40:40,438
in his life insurance.
750
00:40:41,139 --> 00:40:44,675
Well, he... was under a lot of
stress and,
751
00:40:44,676 --> 00:40:47,112
as you know, he had
a heart condition.
752
00:40:49,848 --> 00:40:51,515
Are you saying this was
my motive?
753
00:40:51,516 --> 00:40:52,651
Is it?
754
00:40:53,285 --> 00:40:54,519
Seriously?
755
00:40:56,688 --> 00:40:57,923
I’m a doctor.
756
00:40:58,690 --> 00:41:00,291
My salary is adequate,
757
00:41:00,292 --> 00:41:01,792
I have savings,
the mortgage is paid
758
00:41:01,793 --> 00:41:05,664
and, tiny detail, I happen to
love my husband.
759
00:41:06,665 --> 00:41:08,866
Okay. And, for the record,
760
00:41:08,867 --> 00:41:11,468
we are now showing
Dr. Ascherson footage
761
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:13,605
from the evening of
Kit Howard’s death.
762
00:41:29,654 --> 00:41:30,888
You are clearly putting
something
763
00:41:30,889 --> 00:41:33,658
onto your husband’s plate.
764
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:36,862
Kit would’ve loved this.
765
00:41:37,896 --> 00:41:41,066
I am stealing a slice of radish.
766
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:44,369
Kit hated radishes.
767
00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:47,671
My husband was
unlawfully killed,
768
00:41:47,672 --> 00:41:51,309
someone in that kitchen
made a terrible mistake.
769
00:41:51,843 --> 00:41:53,410
Y...your consultant, um...
770
00:41:53,411 --> 00:41:54,478
- Professor Tempest.
- Uh...
771
00:41:54,479 --> 00:41:57,948
he said that staff negligence
772
00:41:57,949 --> 00:42:01,318
allowed raw cassava
to get into the side salad
773
00:42:01,319 --> 00:42:04,655
and I don’t think it was just
Kit who was affected.
774
00:42:06,858 --> 00:42:07,892
Meaning what?
775
00:42:07,893 --> 00:42:09,360
Well, the previous night, uh,
776
00:42:09,361 --> 00:42:12,096
an elderly man died
from a stroke.
777
00:42:12,097 --> 00:42:13,297
Clive Bairstow.
778
00:42:13,298 --> 00:42:15,132
Was it triggered by cassava?
779
00:42:15,133 --> 00:42:17,769
Do you know?
Have you tried to find out?
780
00:42:22,908 --> 00:42:25,876
How did you know that she was
gonna mention Clive Bairstow?
781
00:42:25,877 --> 00:42:28,246
Because that is
Dr. Ascherson’s alibi.
782
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,115
If Clive Bairstow
swallowed cassava,
783
00:42:31,116 --> 00:42:33,617
that would seem to take her
out of the equation,
784
00:42:33,618 --> 00:42:35,453
focus attention on the kitchen.
785
00:42:36,421 --> 00:42:38,023
No one outside this room
786
00:42:38,223 --> 00:42:40,324
knew that Clive Bairstow
had a sliver of cassava
787
00:42:40,325 --> 00:42:41,726
in his esophagus,
788
00:42:42,227 --> 00:42:44,062
no one apart from Dr. Ascherson
789
00:42:44,896 --> 00:42:46,097
and she knew...
790
00:42:46,464 --> 00:42:47,899
because she put it there.
791
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:49,900
She put it there?
792
00:42:49,901 --> 00:42:51,168
What is the first thing
a doctor does
793
00:42:51,169 --> 00:42:53,938
when presented with someone
who is a non-responsive?
794
00:42:53,939 --> 00:42:55,874
- Checks the airways.
- Exactly.
795
00:42:56,574 --> 00:42:59,343
I’ve never seen a suspect who’s
confident as Dr. Ascherson.
796
00:42:59,344 --> 00:43:02,513
Mm, in the mind of the poisoner,
they’re merely setting a trap,
797
00:43:02,514 --> 00:43:04,416
it is the victim who spring it.
798
00:43:04,849 --> 00:43:07,953
This, uh, logic mitigates guilt.
799
00:43:08,687 --> 00:43:11,489
What you’re describing,
that is some plan.
800
00:43:11,856 --> 00:43:16,126
Dr. Ascherson undoubtedly gamed
a number of scenarios
801
00:43:16,127 --> 00:43:19,898
wherein the life of her husband
could be expunged, but...
802
00:43:20,231 --> 00:43:24,802
this opportunity proved
too exquisite to resist.
803
00:43:24,803 --> 00:43:27,472
Use a natural death
as a cover for murder,
804
00:43:27,973 --> 00:43:31,141
kill one husband while
suing her former spouse
805
00:43:31,142 --> 00:43:32,544
for his demise.
806
00:43:33,912 --> 00:43:34,879
Perfect.
807
00:43:36,915 --> 00:43:38,682
DI Goswami: Well, speak to
the search team,
808
00:43:38,683 --> 00:43:40,250
see what they can uncover.
809
00:44:07,379 --> 00:44:08,613
Professor?
810
00:44:10,949 --> 00:44:13,752
I think someone has made
an absurd mistake.
811
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:16,320
Someone just informed me
812
00:44:16,321 --> 00:44:17,588
that my mother was taken ill
813
00:44:17,589 --> 00:44:19,124
on her flight from New York,
814
00:44:19,357 --> 00:44:20,925
uh, rushed to St. Hugo’s.
815
00:44:22,527 --> 00:44:24,896
She has never had
a day’s illness in her life.
816
00:44:25,964 --> 00:44:28,332
She has just circumnavigated
the globe.
817
00:45:00,565 --> 00:45:01,965
So, how is she?
818
00:45:01,966 --> 00:45:02,867
Fast asleep.
819
00:45:03,068 --> 00:45:07,071
Um, they’ve ruled out anemia
and dehydration.
820
00:45:07,072 --> 00:45:08,106
Oh good.
821
00:45:12,544 --> 00:45:14,446
Pfft, God, hospitals.
822
00:45:29,594 --> 00:45:31,496
It is DS Winters. Mm.
823
00:45:33,898 --> 00:45:37,067
Tempest.
824
00:45:37,068 --> 00:45:39,703
I’m at Dr. Ascherson’s
with the search team.
825
00:45:39,704 --> 00:45:42,140
There’s no traces of cassava
so far.
826
00:45:42,474 --> 00:45:44,842
We’ve had to call it off.
- DS Winters?
827
00:45:44,843 --> 00:45:46,978
Uh, her lawyer’s got an
injunction.
828
00:45:47,345 --> 00:45:48,446
Hang on.
829
00:45:51,316 --> 00:45:52,951
Oh, gross.
830
00:45:53,451 --> 00:45:55,219
The search team
accidentally unearthed
831
00:45:55,220 --> 00:45:56,420
her dead dog.
832
00:46:00,291 --> 00:46:01,559
Professor?
833
00:46:02,594 --> 00:46:04,194
If it was unearthed prior to
the injunction,
834
00:46:04,195 --> 00:46:07,231
it is admissible evidence
and should be examined.
835
00:46:07,232 --> 00:46:08,732
Why? Why would it be evidence?
836
00:46:08,733 --> 00:46:10,734
Uh, Dr. Ascherson is not
a serial killer,
837
00:46:10,735 --> 00:46:12,670
how did she know that
the poison would work?
838
00:46:13,071 --> 00:46:15,038
She tested the method
on her dog.
839
00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:17,774
No, her dog got hit by a car,
Finlay Crawford told us.
840
00:46:17,775 --> 00:46:21,179
And where did Finlay Crawford
obtain that information?
841
00:46:26,851 --> 00:46:27,919
Dr. Ascherson,
842
00:46:28,286 --> 00:46:30,587
how do you explain the fact that
you were in contact
843
00:46:30,588 --> 00:46:34,391
with two people over
the same 24-hour period,
844
00:46:34,392 --> 00:46:37,162
Clive Bairstow
and your husband, Kit,
845
00:46:37,428 --> 00:46:40,832
when they both had cassava
in their systems?
846
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:46,004
Do I really have to go
over this again?
847
00:46:46,771 --> 00:46:49,774
Ha... have you even charged
anyone at the hotel?
848
00:46:51,176 --> 00:46:54,211
Are you suggesting someone
working at the hotel
849
00:46:54,212 --> 00:46:55,980
fed cassava to your dog?
850
00:46:58,550 --> 00:47:00,584
DI Goswami: An autopsy
found traces of cassava
851
00:47:00,585 --> 00:47:02,453
in your dog’s stomach.
852
00:47:03,621 --> 00:47:05,489
That’s two men and a dog,
853
00:47:05,490 --> 00:47:07,892
and no one else had contact
with all three.
854
00:47:09,661 --> 00:47:11,495
You’re the common denominator.
855
00:47:18,169 --> 00:47:19,269
Naomi Ascherson,
856
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:21,705
you’re charged with the murder
of Kit Howard.
857
00:47:21,706 --> 00:47:24,675
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense
858
00:47:24,676 --> 00:47:26,476
if you fail to mention,
when questioned,
859
00:47:26,477 --> 00:47:28,646
something which you later
rely on in court.
860
00:48:34,479 --> 00:48:37,315
Hi, you probably
don’t remember me.
861
00:48:37,548 --> 00:48:39,083
Brass band man.
862
00:48:39,384 --> 00:48:40,952
I didn’t think you were
gonna call.
863
00:48:41,252 --> 00:48:45,456
Um, I...I thought I might take
you up on your offer
864
00:48:46,024 --> 00:48:47,525
to buy me a drink.
865
00:48:49,394 --> 00:48:50,494
Yeah, I’d like that.
866
00:48:53,131 --> 00:48:54,432
Okay, um...
867
00:48:55,066 --> 00:48:56,834
what about Tuesday?
868
00:48:58,236 --> 00:48:59,202
Sounds good.
869
00:48:59,203 --> 00:49:01,071
Nice, I’ll, um,
I’ll send you a text.
870
00:49:01,072 --> 00:49:02,573
Yeah.
871
00:49:03,207 --> 00:49:04,341
See you then.
872
00:49:04,342 --> 00:49:06,444
Great.
