Tom you took unauthorised
photos at the crime scene

potentially
contaminating evidence.

If this gets out
I'm in big trouble.

- Hi, I'm Cooper.
- Great name.

And I look forward to seeing
you again in a few hours.

Glorious Gloria.

Bonjour Simone.

I have a proposition for you.

Hallelujah!

Mind my bespoke buttonhole!

I want to press
that for posterity!

God love our Sharon

bringing all the presents
back from the wedding.

She's the only one that
doesn't drink anymore.

She's a slave to
that slimming club.

Shall we open our prezzies?

Go on then. Right.

This... Lots of love.

I'm in my 60s.

Does she really think I've never
made a piece of toast before?

No, it's retro. Like you.

You're not wrong!

Look! She's left the
gift receipt in. Bless her.

I'll trade it in for
some champagne!

Right. This one.

It's from your Theresa.

Let's have a look.

A personalised soap dispenser.

Just what we need!

Did you see Theresa's face

when she didn't
catch the bouquet?!

I thought she was actually
going to lamp someone.

Oo, this looks nice.

Whose it from?

There's no gift card,
it must have fallen off.

- Here, you open it.
- Okay.

Ooh.

A pouch.

There's some age to them.

You can tell by the paper.

I'm not really up
on this sort of stuff though.

I've never seen
anything like them.

I wonder who they're from?

It'll be one of my dealer mates.

I'll ring round tomorrow.

Did you hear that?

No.

No.

I'm hearing things now.

We'll make an early
start in the morning?

Sounds good.

I cant wait for
you to meet Jean.

- You're gonna love her.
- I hope so.

Because I haven't really liked any
of your other friends to be honest.

I like just me and
you. Just the two of us.

Yeah.

Go on... Go and get me
some more champagne.

I'm on it.

Are you okay, darling?

My God! What happened?

♪ Do you remember
the first time ♪

♪ That my eyes set on you ♪

♪ Your smile came from nowhere ♪

♪ For sometime never
or sometime soon ♪

♪ The road is a long one ♪

♪ I was only passing through ♪

♪ I was only passing through ♪♪

Jean! How lovely to see you.

So good to see you.

Jean, this is my
new husband George.

Husband! Gonna have
to get used to saying that.

It's so lovely to meet you.

Lovely to meet you too!

Tell you what,
that is the last time

I get a bus from the airport.

That kid never stopped screaming
the whole journey, honestly.

Wait a minute... what!

I'm getting straight on the
phone to that bus company.

Look, I'm sure it
was an accident.

- Looks deliberate to me!
- That's outrageous!

Look, you can call on the way.

My house is only round
the corner. Come on.

- It's a new bag.
- We'll see about that.

Here you go Darlings,
I hope you'll be comfy.

It's lovely.

Look at that.

No, doesn't look like they
have taken anything.

That would
have be all you needed.

Look at you going all Carmen
Miranda since living abroad.

It's the south of France!

Anyway it covers
a multitude of sins.

I remember that!

Antiques fair, Skegness.

I thought Id bagged myself
a lovely bit of Paige pottery.

Until you put your glasses on.

It was such a bad copy.
I had to have it!

Ill never live that down!

It's work, I should
probably take it.

- Can you give me a minute?
- Yeah. Of course.

Bye, love.

What happened?
I need to know everything.

How long have you got, kid?

Well, why don't we start
at the beginning.

What happened
between you and Alan?

Why did you break up?

Well..

You know he was getting
more and more New Age

which I didn't mind at
all when it first started.

Go on.

But it all came to a head
when we got to Mallorca.

- He wouldn't let us eat out.
- What?

Said he would only eat foods
to awaken his soul.

I mean, I tried me best, Jean

but there's only
so many times you can have

broccoli for breakfast.

I'm really sorry, love.

We just grew into
different people.

We had 10 great years
and we're fine now.

And actually he's been
great about George.

So, where did you meet George?

Antiques Do in Mayfair.

He's a top Sommelier,
supplied the wine.

That's handy.

I know I'm punching
above my weight.

I mean, it's only been
three months but

I have never felt anything like
this before in my life, Jean.

He seems to know
everything I'm thinking about.

Hey, you are only here once.

You should grab your
happiness with both hands.

Yeah. It's great
to see you, Jean.

And you, love.

How was the wedding?

I'm so sorry I couldn't make it.

Don't be daft.

My lot were all there of course.

Anything for a free
drink as you know.

And our Theresa's
had a perm that

makes her look
like Kevin Keegan.

And we got some lovely
gifts, but the weirdest one

were these creepy playing cards.

I don't know who
gave them to us.

I rang round all my
dealer mates who came

but nobody would own up to them.

Cool!

Wow, they are old, aren't they?

Not really my thing, but
my business partner'll know.

But look at though!

Jack of Clubs, first card out.

- That is a sign of good luck.
- Yeah?

Well, it wasn't much good luck
on my wedding night, was it?

You know that
mirror in my pantry?

Yeah.

It fell down and nearly
chop me head off!

Blimey! You didn't mention that!

I know! It put the
fear of God into me!

I bet it did. You alright now?

- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Alright.

Well, when George gets off the
phone I'll show you around here.

Sounds great.

You need my wife to get to Jean?

Yes.

Well, I don't think Charlie's
gonna fall for a love letter.

She hasn't been to visit
once over the past six months.

Did you write down
exactly what I told you to?

Yes.

Well, if she still loves you,
she'll be back. I promise.

Use your phone call
to tell me when she does

and I'll tell you
what to ask next.

And you still agree to my fee?

I paid you well
last time, didn't I?

Yeah.

And to think I
was scared of you.

You should be.

Yeah, massive bells.

I can see why
you live here, Jean.

Yeah, it's beautiful but

it's about the people really.

When Rory died there wasn't
much to keep me in Manchester.

In fact, you're the first
people I've shown around here.

- I must be selling.
- Yeah.

Do you fancy going
over to see my shop?

- Yeah. Definitely.
- It's only down here.

- That's a massive church.
- They love a big church here.

Charlie must have nipped out!

Wow!

This place is amazing, Jean.

Well, we're getting there.

Ooh!

Nice bit of Kintsugi
going on there.

- May I?
- Yeah.

What's Kintsugi?

Well, Kin means golden

and Tsugi mean to join.

So, literally to join with gold.

The story goes that when
a 15th century shogun

that broke his favourite
tea bowl

when it was repaired
it was with awful metal pins

so craftsmen filled all the
cracks with golden lacquer.

Yeah, so the cracks are seen
as beauty elements.

The philosophy being that

we should embrace
our imperfections.

And think carefully
before we discard something

just because it's broken.

Like you did George
when you married me.

Ooh!

- Now, I like this.
- Oo.

So that's got pink and
turquoise opals on the handle.

I made a bomb out
of a black opal

when I was travelling
across Australia.

I'd like to buy this for you.

As a wedding gift.

Thanks Love but don't get
me wrong but I don't want it.

I don't mean to be ungrateful.

It's just I'm a bit
superstitious about Opals.

Play of the colours,
ever changing.

I just don't trust them.

Suit yourself.

Well, Id like to buy
it, I think it's lovely.

Well, to you, it is free.

Thank you.

Before I forget.

Can you leave those cards
for Charlie to have a look at?

Yeah, of course.

Here they are.

They must be French because
they are in the Rouen style

which was banned from being
imported to England in 1628.

The English ones
were much cruder.

There's a shock!

Charlie'll know.

I'm starving.
Lets go to the pub.

I can safely say
there is nothing

mechanically
wrong with your car.

Thanks Glo. I've
was so worried about it.

We just cant afford for
the car to break down.

But I did find
these little fellers.

The noise was these
rolling about under the seat!

You found them!

Are they your little nephews
from when he stayed?

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
It is Jack's. Thank you.

I'll have a sparkling water.

- On the house.
- Thank you very much.

There's more carbs on that
plate than I've eaten in a year.

I try to keep myself trim for
George but that ship sailed.

- Nothing like Alan?
- Nah.

Is it true that you actually
ate broccoli for breakfast?

We ate it, we
drank it, in fact there

wasn't much we
didn't do with it.

Alright?

No! Not like that!

- Thank you.
- Thanks love.

Here you go.

And one more of the same.

Enjoy your lunch and if you need

anything else,
don't hesitate to ask.

Nial, let me introduce you.

This is one of my
dearest friends, David

and this is his new
husband George.

Lovely to meet you both.

I've forgotten your
cutlery, just a minute.

Niall, come here.

Who's that with Jean?

Old mate of hers.

Him and his fellow
have just got married.

Aw! Nice.

Yes, love is indeed in the
air at the moment. Isn't it?

- You are so obvious.
- What?

I didn't know Cooper
was a taxi driver.

What are you talking about?

I've known you for
20 years Dominic

and you have always been very
transparent and a rubbish liar.

Thank you very much.

So, how's it going with you two?

Great. I really like him.

Someone to do nothing with.

What?

Me and you once said

it wasn't about finding
someone to do something with

it was about finding someone
to do nothing with.

Do you remember?

Yeah. Yeah, I do, yeah.

I think you'll really
like him Dom.

Well, he has got
excellent taste in women

so I'm sure I will. Come here.

Aw, Dom! Thanks, love.

- Happy for you love.
- Thanks.

- Voila!
- Thank you!

I thought we deserved a treat.

Now, this is especially
for you George.

Being a top Sommelier.

Come on, George, what is it?

It's er... er...

Chateau Simone Rouge.

Of course!

Wow! Thank you so
much. That's very kind.

Don't be fooled George,
she is gagging for a glass.

I am.

After this do you boys
mind going for an explore?

I just have got loads
of admin to do.

I'm dying for an explore!

It's like Disneyland round here.

I haven't seen so many
antiques on display

since my mothers Am Dram group
did The Lion King.

Jean?

Jean?

Where did they get
these cards from?

They were a wedding present.

From who?

They couldn't
find the gift card.

What's the matter?

Look at the Queen.

Each card of the Queen has
the mark of a winged serpent.

That means they were
made for La Voisin herself.

- Who?
- You don't know La Voisin?

The French Sorceress?
Burned at the stake?

Like many innocent
women before her.

Non!

There was nothing
innocent about La Voisin.

She was evil
through and through.

You have heard of
Laffaire des poisons

during the reign
of King Louis XIV?

Yeah, I do. That rings a bell.

Remind me.

Many fortune-tellers
and alchemists

were suspected
of selling not only divinations

séances and aphrodisiacs

but also "inheritance powders."

- Inheritance powders?
- Poisons.

They were rounded up and tried.

La Voisins testimony implicated

mistress of the king

who claimed she had
performed black masses with her.

- Black masses?
- Oui.

La Voisin was convicted
of witchcraft and

poisoning and burnt in public on

the Place de
Grève Paris in 1680.

And you think the cards

actually belonged to her?

The winged serpent proves it.

Jean, these are very, very rare.

And very, very cursed.

Ball park?

Thousands?
Depending on the buyer.

Wow. That's some wedding
present.

They need to find the gift card.

Did you hear what I said Jean?

They carry a curse.

Yeah. Curses.

You beauty.

Hi, Maggie!

Thanks for getting
back so quickly...

Well, it's a bit of a funny
story, actually.

My friend David got married.

And he got the cards
as a wedding present.

No, not Jewellery David... no...

Ceramic David.

Well, I've just found out

they belonged to
a mad French witch.

Yeah, La Voison. Yeah.

First person I thought of
was you.

Because you like the
supernatural and all that.

Do you think you
can shift them for me?

Maggie that's fantastic.

Yeah very strange ring.

George?

Thank you
for your statement, George.

I don't know about you, darling,
but I could do with a brandy.

Yeah.

So, David, what do you remember?

I'll try my best officer but

I'm a bit of a mess
to be honest.

Take your time.

Erm... We were
walking down the street

when this man came out
of nowhere, screaming...

That must've bee
terrifying, love.

Could you describe
what the man looked like?

As George has already said.

His face was covered,
we didn't see anything!

He's got to ask, love.

I know it's hard.
But just do your best.

Sorry, I, erm...

He came at me.

So, you are sure he
came at you alone?

George says he
came at both of you?

Yeah, yeah. He came,
he came at both of us.

I've never been more scared
in my entire life.

I can completely understand.

Have you any idea what
he was screaming at you?

No! It was all in French!

I knew I should have
paid more attention at school.

I think that is enough for now.

- Thank you for your statements.
- Thank you.

St. Victoire is a small town,
I'm sure we will catch them.

Yeah, that's good to know.
Thanks.

- I will be in touch.
- Thanks, Andre.

They've had such bad luck since
he got here. I'm so embarrassed.

Have you got any leads?

We do have someone who
says he saw what happened

but he had had a good few drinks

so I don't know
how reliable he is.

It doesn't quite fit with
Georges version of events.

What did he say?

Well, he says that
the cyclist seemed

to steer right into
David's attacker.

Of course, it all
happened so fast.

Surely, if that was
the case he would have

stayed around to
see if Dave was okay.

You know, made himself known?

Yes, that's what I thought.

He's got it wrong clearly.

Go back to your friends,
I'll keep asking around.

- We will do everything we can.
- Thank you.

Caron is a good copper.

I'm sure he'll do
everything he can.

He seems really nice.

I feel terrible.

I just froze.

I should have helped.

It's okay, love.

It was a bit like closing
time when I was a kid.

Thank God that cyclist was
passing, I owe them a drink!

David, I do have some good news.

Go on.

Charlie had a
look at your cards.

That's nice of her.

Well.

She reckons they
were specifically made

for a 17th Century French witch

who was done for poisoning
and burnt at the stake.

She says they're worth
thousands to the right buyer!

17th Century French witch?

Do you mean La Voison?

Yeah! That's her.

Did she say anything else?

Well, she said
they carry a curse

but that's not your problem
once you sell 'em, is it?

A curse? Jean!

It's been nothing but bad luck
since I opened those cards.

David...

I told you, before we left

that mirror nearly
chopped my head off,

and then the bag
was slashed and then

somebody tried
to knife me in the street!

That is all awful, love, but

what's that got to do
with a pack of cards?

Jean, it could have
everything to do with the cards.

I mean, that mirror had
been on the wall for 10 years.

Why did it fall then,
at that precise moment?

Exactly!

I've just had a thought.

The slash mark on your bag

it's in the shape of a letter V.

I'm getting straight on
the phone to that bus company.

Look I'm sure it
was an accident.

Yes!

It's the witch isn't it?

She's tying to make me go mad.

Come on, David!

We trade in provenance.

Not superstition.

Our spiritual journey
has opened David up somewhat.

Sorry?

We got married in
a Spiritualist Church.

Maybe that's why you're being
so sensitive at the moment

because you're
channelling dark energy.

Yes.

It's the witch, isn't it?

She's trying to communicate.

Come on. Curses?

- It's just twisted psychology.
- Sorry?

Seeing patterns in random
events where there are none.

I think I'll have a brandy.

It's her!

It's her! It's her!

La Voisin. In the mirror!

I think we should
burn them to a cinder.

Don't you think we should
find out the facts

before we go setting fire to
potentially thousands of pounds?

I saw her, Jean.

Last night in the mirror.
She's coming to get me.

Who is?

La Voisin!

The witch.

The facts are, Jean, she
will not stop until I'm dead.

Can I make a suggestion?

Now, what would Oprah say?

Yeah.

When you don't know
what to do, do nothing.

So, why don't you
two do just that?

What do you mean?

I'll go to work.

I'll get a second
opinion on the cards

and you just stay here
and relax.

I think that's a great idea.

Yeah.

It is. Thanks, Jean.

That's my pleasure.

Take those things with you.

And help yourselves
to anything you want.

Listen...

It's me. Jean.

I'm right here for you.

Thanks, Jean.

I'm just gonna go
make some calls.

- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah I'm fine.

I'll make us some
brunch when I'm done.

- You just stay there.
- Thanks, love.

Jean. I'd like to apologise
for my oversight.

Oversight?

Jean...

Jean.

Please, can we be friends again?

I sound like a ten year old.

I have really missed you.

Come on, Dom. You can do this.

Alan!

- You know him?
- That's his ex.

Hi, I'm Dom. Jean's mate.

Alan is behind bars
awaiting questioning.

As soon as there is any update

Caron's gonna give us a call.

What happened?

I would never have believed this

but I think Alan
was out to get you.

I think he was stalking you.

My God.

- Thanks, Dom.
- You're welcome.

- You alright?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

It's good job you were here.

Is it?

No offence, Jean,
but we've given our statements

and I want
David out of here, now.

Don't you think
you should wait to--

Waiting around to find
what kind of maniac Alan is?

I think it's pretty clear.

I have booked a hire car,
it should be here any minute.

We won't be staying.

My partner of 10 years
was trying to kill me!

We are going to Marseilles

and we're gonna
begin our honeymoon.

Are you sure?

And that will be the hire car.

Well, it's a bit
sudden but, um, I suppose--

- You ready, darling?
- Yeah.

- Bye, love.
- Bye.

Jean, when you get this
message, can you get down here?

He says I am an
oppressor of the state

and he does not
recognise my authority.

He says he will
only speak with you.

Please hurry.

If there is anything you
need just let me know, okay?

Thanks, Jean.

- Love you, kid.
- I love you too.

Well it's... It's
lovely to meet you.

Look after each other?

Thanks, Jean.

And thank you.

Pleasure.

And you expect
me to believe that?

You have to believe me
if you want David to live.

Jean, I have been
following David

to protect him from George.

Why does he need
protecting from George?

When we broke up
I was devastated.

But I left it in the
hands of the Universe.

Then a friend came
to me with evidence

that David was going to
be Georges third husband.

The two previous
husbands had died

within months of marrying him.

What evidence?

The marriage and the
death certificates.

I've been watching
David to protect him.

He'd never have believed
me if I'd have told him.

He's changed

he's just completely
obsessed by him.

The morning of the wedding,
George was the last one out.

I watched him go
back into the pantry

and tamper with the mirror.

He balanced the mirror
right on the edge of the door.

I knew that was for
David and David alone.

David was the first one into
the pantry when they got back.

To save him, I didn't
know what to do

so I just started
banging on the window

and it was enough to stop him
walking underneath the mirror.

When I got here I hired
a bike and I followed him.

I didn't know
what was gonna happen

but I knew something would.

And sure enough it did.

George must have paid
for that thug to knife David

so I knocked him to the ground.

And the cushion?

I was watching through
the patio window

and George came behind
David with the cushion.

I forced my way in and
punched him in the face.

If this is all true

why didn't you just tell David

that George was
trying to kill him?

Because he would
never have believed me.

George has been gaslighting him.

Well...

He's certainly not
been his self lately.

Come on, Jean.

Two weddings and
the corresponding

death certificates
within months?

I'm telling you,
David is in grave danger.

I believe you.

Caron?

- Did you hear all that?
- Oui.

We need to find David. Now.

They're on their
way to Marseilles.

There are two roads
to Marseilles.

Dom, I need your help.

Why are we stopping here?

You know I've got vertigo.

You were feeling car sick
because you hadn't eaten.

You know what you're
like on an empty stomach.

I can't eat.

You need to pull
yourself together.

I'm sorry, I'm still in shock.

Alan trying to kill me.

Those cursed cards.

We'll flog these in
Marseilles. Get rid of them.

Hopefully they'll
make thousands.

Fancy us thinking
that those cards were cursed

when it was Alan
trying to kill you.

I still think
the cards are cursed.

You know you sound mad?

Seeing ghosts, cursed cards.

You sound like a child.

George?

Put that thing away.
You know I cant stand opals.

George, if this is
meant to be kinky

it's not doing it for me.

Always the joker.

- Get up.
- George...

Get up!

By the way, I'm desperate,
you're not forgiven yet.

Thanks for your help, Dom.

I knew there was something
dodgy about him

when he didn't know what wine
I'd bought them in La Couronne.

Top wine expert my foot.

So, he gets these fellows

marries them
and then bumps them off?

I know, it's hideous

but he moves around
so much they just

can't pin anything on him.

Blimey, that's a bold
career choice, isn't it?

Just move that
wing mirror for us, Jean?

That's how he did it!

Did what?

Made the infamous
La Voisin appear

in my spare bedroom mirror.

I put a black shawl on top of
the dresser to hide a heat mark.

Ironically you cant get a decent
French polisher over here.

You cant move for
them in Stockport.

Go on.

Anyway, I found the shawl
under one of the pillows

when I was making
their bed up this morning.

He must have precisely
positioned the mirror

put on the shawl,
looked in the mirror,

woke David up,
scared him to death

then pretended
to wake up himself

to comfort him.

You better put your foot down.

- It won't make any difference.
- It won't make any difference.

Only got one speed, this...

Your cards?

- But why?
- To send you mad.

Send me mad?

What are you talking about?

The cards, the mirror.

The luggage.

It was all me.

Do you know, you will
be my third husband.

Deceased.

Third husband?

George, what... Please...

I've already found my
fourth. Over here actually.

You've gotta move around.

It really is all too easy.

I thought we were in love.

You made me leave Alan.

I changed my life for you.

Yes and thank you
for that but...

Now, you're just a mad
old man with vertigo.

I tried to save David but he...

The vertigo just got
too much for him.

I think it was all the
stress that Alan put him under.

It really is too easy.

George... Please...

Don't do this.

Please, I-I-I am begging you.

Your pleading's
getting boring now.

One more step.

George! No!

Nobody calls me boring.

Blimey!

They've got a lot
to talk about, haven't they?

Yeah. Yes, they have.

I knew it wasn't you.

Liar!

We had some great times,
didn't we?

Do you remember
when we found that Andy Warhol

painting in me Aunty
Dee Dees garage.

How could I forget?

You took it to Sotheby's
in a bin bag

and sold it for six grand.

She moved to San
Francisco last week.

Said she was never
the same after you

lent her a copy of
Tales Of The City.

She's 89 with one lung and
half a hip, who insured her?

No insurance?

She stuck two fingers up to the
system and did what she wanted.

Just like you.

We've both changed, haven't we?

Yeah.

The bloke I met was first in the
queue for chips, curry and rice.

That's certainly not me anymore.

No.

Thanks for looking
out for me, Alan.

For being there.

I just wish you'd told me.

And would you have believed me?

No.

I cant half pick them, cant I?

The love of my life ends up
loving broccoli more than me

so I marry the first
psycho I clap me eyes on.

Hear you made up with, Glo?

I didn't know we'd fallen out.

Well, she said that you weren't
answering her calls or texts.

Well...

A little bit gutted she didn't
mention that taxi driver thing.

Well, she didn't know he was
one before he asked her out.

Yeah, that's what she said.

And even if she did, would
it have made a difference?

Um, I don't know.

I'm just a little bit
worried this town

aunt big enough
for the both of us.

Yes, yes, I know.

That makes me sound
like I'm in a Western.

Funny that, so does Cooper
because he is actually American.

See! I told you he was a cowboy!

Dom, thanks for today.

You were a proper superhero.

Listen, Jean, the
reason I came round...

Yes, why were you here
when you caught Alan?

Well, look, I...

I just wanted to say how deeply

sorry I am for
betraying your trust.

- Don't--
- No, no, no Jean, please.

Let me finish.

I've proper missed you
and I'm dead mad at meself.

Come here.

Bonjour Simone.
