Merely appreciative of beauty

One last favour,
s'il vous plait.

I want to change

00:05:25,740 --> 00:05:26,780
No.

Thank you, but...

00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:31,420

Oh.

96
00:05:51,340 --> 00:05:53,740
So I take it
therapy's going well, then?

97
00:05:53,740 --> 00:05:56,340
Um...

98
00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:57,380
I mean,

99
00:05:57,380 --> 00:05:59,580
sitting in front
of a total stranger,

100
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:01,340
talking about feelings...

101
00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:03,220
It's just not for me, you know?

102
00:06:03,220 --> 00:06:06,220
But you were kidnapped
by your own brother, sir.

103
00:06:06,220 --> 00:06:07,620
Almost killed.

104
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:09,780
Look, I'm here now, aren't I?

105
00:06:09,780 --> 00:06:11,540
The best thing for me to do
is just

106
00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:12,820
forget it ever happened.

107
00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:14,460
Sounds healthy.

108
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:17,820
Look, I'm English, yeah?
That's what we do.

- NAOMI:
- The deceased is Hortense LeRoux.

111
00:06:25,060 --> 00:06:26,700
She writes
an agony aunt column

112
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:27,860
for the local paper.

113
00:06:27,860 --> 00:06:30,860
MERVIN: Agony aunts.
That's a blast from the past.

114
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:34,780
Good morning, boss. Sarge.

115
00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:37,420
Paramedics say
Madame LeRoux was poisoned.

116
00:06:37,420 --> 00:06:39,340
- Who found her?
- Her daughter, Esme,

117
00:06:39,340 --> 00:06:41,900
who had plans to go on a walk
with her mother,

118
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:43,420
and the housekeeper, Kim Woods,

119
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:45,980
who was
just starting her shift.

120
00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:47,380
This way.

121
00:06:48,340 --> 00:06:49,740
- SEB:
- So, the victim.

122
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:53,260
She has a few tiny red spots

123
00:06:53,260 --> 00:06:54,940
on her finger.

124
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:56,620
Which leads me to believe

125
00:06:56,620 --> 00:06:59,220
that the poison came from
something she touched.

126
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:03,540
So...she sat down
for breakfast.

127
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:06,580
Boiled egg and toast.

128
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:08,380
Read her column,

129
00:07:08,380 --> 00:07:10,700
where someone writes in

130
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:13,540
about a friend's betrayal.

131
00:07:13,540 --> 00:07:16,500
And Dear Hortense replies with...

132
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:18,580
..avoiding revenge.

133
00:07:18,580 --> 00:07:21,020
"Let sleeping dogs lie."

134
00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:22,980
Sir, she was retiring.

135
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:25,140
This would be her last column.

136
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:26,500
Tragic coincidence?

137
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:28,620
Tragic? Certainly.

138
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:30,660
Coincidence? Not so much.

139
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:33,740
Does this
look discoloured to you?

140
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,620
You think the poison
is on the paper?

141
00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:42,940
Possibly.
Where did this come from?

142
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:44,100
We'll check
with the housekeeper.

143
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:45,580
Mm.

144
00:07:53,660 --> 00:07:56,100
Egg and soldiers.

145
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:57,700
In the breakfast hall of fame,

146
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,020
that's right up there.

147
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:01,060
Dipping
a piece of buttered toast

148
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:02,620
into a gooey yellow egg -

149
00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:04,100
heaven.

150
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,780
Your point, sir?

151
00:08:18,380 --> 00:08:20,340
This egg's harder
than Vinnie Jones.

152
00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:22,740
Dipping a soldier into that
would be impossible.

153
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:31,180
- SEB:
- Sir, normally, when you spot a detail,

154
00:08:31,180 --> 00:08:34,220
I think, "Hold on, man, we will
definitely come back to this."

155
00:08:34,220 --> 00:08:36,660
But right now,
kind of struggling how this

156
00:08:36,660 --> 00:08:38,020
could possibly be relevant.

157
00:08:40,340 --> 00:08:42,380
Everything's relevant,
Officer Rose.

158
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:57,220
And the paper
was delivered every day?

159
00:08:57,220 --> 00:08:59,420
By a boy called Clayton Powell.

160
00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:00,620
Can you get a hold of him,
please?

161
00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:02,060
Mm-hm.

162
00:09:02,060 --> 00:09:03,140
Esme!

163
00:09:05,180 --> 00:09:07,980
It's terrible, terrible news.

164
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:11,060
Anton Busette.
Editor of the Saint Marie News

165
00:09:11,060 --> 00:09:12,820
and Hortense's ex-husband.

166
00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:14,260
DI Wilson.

167
00:09:14,260 --> 00:09:16,020
I've heard a lot about you.

168
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:18,540
So what's the latest?

169
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:20,020
Well, we're working
on the theory

170
00:09:20,020 --> 00:09:21,820
that Miss LeRoux was poisoned.

171
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:23,300
- KIM:
- What? - Deliberately.

172
00:09:24,580 --> 00:09:26,820
How could anyone do that
to her?

173
00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:28,460
She was truly adored.

174
00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:31,180
So, how did she seem recently?

175
00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:32,900
Anything out of the ordinary?

176
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:36,460
Well, she had mixed feelings
about retiring, naturally.

177
00:09:36,460 --> 00:09:40,020
There was
something at the party.

178
00:09:40,020 --> 00:09:43,660
I want to change
my final column to this one.

179
00:09:43,660 --> 00:09:45,660
- Do you know why?
- No.

180
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:47,580
Can we see the original letter?

181
00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:49,180
It'll be in her study.

182
00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:53,020
OK, so, um, talk me through
her morning routine, please.

183
00:09:53,020 --> 00:09:55,180
Well, she was up with the lark,

184
00:09:55,180 --> 00:09:56,220
made breakfast...

185
00:09:56,220 --> 00:09:58,140
Boiled egg and soldiers, yeah?

186
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:00,340
Clayton would deliver
the paper.

187
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:03,580
Then she would like to read
her column over breakfast.

188
00:10:03,580 --> 00:10:07,100
And the egg -
how long did she cook it for?

189
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,340
Oh. I'm not sure.

190
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:11,180
Do you know, love?

191
00:10:11,180 --> 00:10:12,660
Three minutes or so.

192
00:10:12,660 --> 00:10:14,780
She liked it to be perfect.

193
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:16,820
- Yeah.
- That's who she was.

194
00:10:16,820 --> 00:10:18,580
Deep breaths, darling,
deep breaths.

195
00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:21,100
Here you are, Esme.

196
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:24,980
Look here, Inspector.
Why the focus on eggs?

197
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:26,780
Can I suggest
that you concentrate

198
00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:28,500
on what is actually important?

199
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,060
Finding the person
who did this.

200
00:10:31,060 --> 00:10:33,740
I'm merely trying to establish
the facts, Mr Busette.

201
00:10:33,740 --> 00:10:35,740
I mean, as a journalist,
it surprises me

202
00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:37,220
you don't appreciate that.

203
00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:39,300
DOG BARKS

204
00:10:42,740 --> 00:10:45,180
I'm sorry. The little man
doesn't like strangers.

205
00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:47,020
Sensible chap.

206
00:10:51,340 --> 00:10:52,820
SCOFFS

207
00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:55,300
She really liked purple.

208
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:03,020
So what's with the egg thing?

209
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:08,420
Look, Hortense was the sort
of woman who liked everything

210
00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:09,780
just so. Right?

211
00:11:09,780 --> 00:11:11,940
Even down to how
she set out her breakfast.

212
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:14,260
People are funny, aren't they?

213
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:15,300
Yes.

214
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:17,780
People are.

215
00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:20,660
It's still bothering me
why that egg was hard boiled.

216
00:11:20,660 --> 00:11:24,340
Maybe she got distracted.
Overcooked it.

217
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:26,780
She had an egg timer,
which she clearly used.

218
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:28,620
And even if she had
overcooked it,

219
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:29,940
she could have
made another one.

220
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:35,500
Now you say it,
it is a little odd.

221
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:38,140
You know, I used to think
these letters were fake,

222
00:11:38,140 --> 00:11:41,180
but people actually write in
with their problems.

223
00:11:41,180 --> 00:11:43,540
And according
to the housekeeper,

224
00:11:43,540 --> 00:11:45,660
she replied to every single one.

225
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:47,140
Felt like it was her duty.

226
00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:51,220
Whoa!

227
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:56,380
Seems she kept
every single letter as well.

228
00:11:57,340 --> 00:11:58,980
This is the letter
she wanted to publish

229
00:11:58,980 --> 00:12:00,100
last minute.

230
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:03,900
"Dear Hortense, I've suffered
a great betrayal by a friend."

231
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:06,060
Well, that's different.

232
00:12:06,060 --> 00:12:07,140
What is?

233
00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:10,100
Well, all these other letters
are signed anonymously,

234
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:13,660
but this one is signed
by Sophie Martin.

235
00:12:13,660 --> 00:12:16,420
So Sophie Martin
wanted her friend to know

236
00:12:16,420 --> 00:12:18,020
she'd written this letter.

237
00:12:18,980 --> 00:12:20,060
But why?

238
00:12:20,060 --> 00:12:21,900
To send a message?

239
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:23,140
Or a warning.

240
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:28,260
The Inspector.

241
00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:30,980
- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

242
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:34,980
OK, so...that's Clayton,

243
00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:36,980
and here's the tea.
He picked up the papers

244
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:39,980
from Mr Purdy's newsagent's
at 7am.

245
00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:42,260
There are various papers
in the stack,

246
00:12:42,260 --> 00:12:44,620
the Saint Marie News
only being one of them.

247
00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:47,180
He then cycled straight here,

248
00:12:47,180 --> 00:12:49,060
delivered the newspaper
to Madame LeRoux

249
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:50,220
- at 7:15am.
- Morning!

250
00:12:52,140 --> 00:12:54,180
And did he actually
see her pick it up?

251
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:56,300
He did, just like always.

252
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:58,260
And we know she came inside

253
00:12:58,260 --> 00:13:00,700
and sat at the dinner table
to read the paper.

254
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:03,340
Do we know how many
Saint Marie News

255
00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:05,180
- were in his stack?
- He said six.

256
00:13:05,180 --> 00:13:08,500
And none of the other people
who get the paper are ill.

257
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,500
But if so, assuming
it was a targeted attack,

258
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,620
how did he get the one
poisoned newspaper to Hortense?

259
00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:17,260
- Thanks a lot.
- NAOMI: - Maybe they intercepted

260
00:13:17,260 --> 00:13:19,420
Clayton on the way,
knowing he'd be coming

261
00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:21,740
to Madame LeRoux's house
first.

262
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:25,260
Clayton swears he did not
meet anyone en route.

263
00:13:25,260 --> 00:13:26,740
The only thing of note -

264
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:28,820
his bike had a bust-up
with a pothole,

265
00:13:28,820 --> 00:13:31,100
and all his papers
fell out of his bag.

266
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:32,780
But even if the killer

267
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:35,780
had poisoned the first paper
in the stack,

268
00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:37,580
they're all jumbled up now,
right?

269
00:13:37,580 --> 00:13:40,420
Which means
they couldn't guarantee

270
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:43,780
that the poisoned paper
would get to Madame LeRoux.

271
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:46,500
A one-in-six chance.

272
00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:50,260
Don't like the sound
of those odds. Do you?

273
00:13:59,180 --> 00:14:00,420
Hortense LeRoux.

274
00:14:00,420 --> 00:14:02,460
Saint Marie's
favourite agony aunt,

275
00:14:02,460 --> 00:14:04,740
poisoned, apparently,
by her own column.

276
00:14:04,740 --> 00:14:07,780
So who would want
to murder her?

277
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:09,460
All that meddling
in people's lives

278
00:14:09,460 --> 00:14:11,260
would make you some enemies.

279
00:14:11,260 --> 00:14:14,660
I read that she moved
from Paris to Saint Marie

280
00:14:14,660 --> 00:14:18,140
30 years ago
with her baby daughter, Esme.

281
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:22,300
Anton Busette,
Esme's stepfather.

282
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:24,180
They met in 1996

283
00:14:24,180 --> 00:14:26,980
when she started her column
at the Saint Marie News.

284
00:14:26,980 --> 00:14:29,260
Then there's this.

285
00:14:29,260 --> 00:14:32,260
Now, why would Hortense
be so keen to publish it?

286
00:14:32,260 --> 00:14:34,060
It was posted on Saint Marie,

287
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:36,300
so, likely,
the author lives here.

288
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:38,660
So our priority -

289
00:14:38,660 --> 00:14:42,260
find Sophie Martin.

290
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:45,300
Copy that, sir.

291
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:46,660
There were letters
at the house.

292
00:14:46,660 --> 00:14:48,700
Looks like she kept them all.

293
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:50,460
Might be worth checking those,
too?

294
00:14:50,460 --> 00:14:51,900
Uh... Yes, um...

295
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:54,460
Where would you put that
on the priority list?

296
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:56,860
I'm thinking
maybe three or four?

297
00:14:57,900 --> 00:14:59,060
We've got it, Sarge.

298
00:14:59,060 --> 00:15:01,740
Soon as we check through
the victim's phone.

299
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:05,100
Can't help feeling
Sophie is key to all of this.

300
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,340
- SELWYN:
- Making progress already?

301
00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:09,380
Oh, Commissioner.
Uh, well, you know,

302
00:15:09,380 --> 00:15:10,580
it's early days.

303
00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:13,660
Madame LeRoux
was highly regarded.

304
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:14,860
Only last night,

305
00:15:14,860 --> 00:15:17,340
Catherine and I
attended her retirement party.

306
00:15:17,340 --> 00:15:19,780
As such,
the island will be watching

307
00:15:19,780 --> 00:15:22,220
our investigation keenly.

308
00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:24,740
Ah. Excellent.

309
00:15:24,740 --> 00:15:27,220
I'm assuming
you've met Anton Busette.

310
00:15:28,580 --> 00:15:30,020
We've had the pleasure.

311
00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:31,820
He won't miss an opportunity

312
00:15:31,820 --> 00:15:34,540
to put pressure on us.

313
00:15:34,540 --> 00:15:36,060
Or rather...me.

314
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:39,660
Let me know
when you're ready to talk.

315
00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:44,980
So let's keep things
as professional as we can.

316
00:15:44,980 --> 00:15:48,500
- Mm. Of course.
- DI Wilson, a word.

317
00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:58,300
How are the counselling
sessions going?

318
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,500
Oh, um...

319
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:02,020
Extremely useful.

320
00:16:02,020 --> 00:16:04,100
Yeah, we really get into the...

321
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:05,420
..the heart of the matter.

322
00:16:05,420 --> 00:16:07,820
- Is that so?
- Mm.

323
00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:09,260
What I've heard

324
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:12,100
is directly to the contrary.

325
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:13,980
You haven't said a word.

326
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:16,540
I thought
that was confidential!

327
00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:18,260
Inspector...

328
00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:19,700
..take it seriously.

329
00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:22,980
Look, I'm just not into...
the whole...

330
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:24,780
..going-over-the-past stuff.

331
00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:28,620
The effects of trauma
don't just magically go away.

332
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:30,780
You've got to work through it.

333
00:16:31,820 --> 00:16:34,340
I know, because I did.

334
00:16:38,020 --> 00:16:39,420
You had therapy?

335
00:16:39,420 --> 00:16:42,380
And like you, I had doubts.

336
00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:47,620
Men of my age, we tend
to crack on with things, too.

337
00:16:49,140 --> 00:16:53,380
Give in to it, Inspector.
You may be surprised.

338
00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:56,060
OK.

339
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:58,740
But I assure you,

340
00:16:58,740 --> 00:17:00,860
I am completely,

341
00:17:00,860 --> 00:17:02,180
totally,

342
00:17:02,180 --> 00:17:04,860
100% fine.

343
00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:16,660
- NAOMI:
- Inspector? - We've got a situation.

344
00:17:16,660 --> 00:17:18,340
THUD

345
00:17:16,660 --> 00:17:18,340
- NAOMI:
- Inspector!

346
00:17:19,820 --> 00:17:20,740
Solomon.

347
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:45,020
Working overtime, mate?

348
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:46,860
Any leads?

349
00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:52,140
Hmm.

350
00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:28,540
Morning, campers!

351
00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:31,260
Gather round.
I have a breakthrough.

352
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:38,780
Right. So, this stamp

353
00:18:38,780 --> 00:18:41,940
was conveniently hidden
beneath this Saint Marie stamp.

354
00:18:41,940 --> 00:18:43,860
The original stamp
is from France.

355
00:18:45,740 --> 00:18:48,380
Hmm. So what does that mean?

356
00:18:48,380 --> 00:18:50,860
That it was posted
from somewhere else first?

357
00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:53,180
Maybe Sophie meant to post it
from somewhere else,

358
00:18:53,180 --> 00:18:54,780
but didn't, for some reason,
then brought it to Saint Marie

359
00:18:54,780 --> 00:18:56,420
to post. Why? Who knows?

360
00:18:56,420 --> 00:18:58,660
My stamp man in Kentish Town
is on the case.

361
00:18:58,660 --> 00:19:01,500
And...breathe.

362
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:04,500
You all right, sir?

363
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,860
- Yeah. Why?
- You seem a little...

364
00:19:06,860 --> 00:19:08,100
..energetic.

365
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:10,660
Oh! That's the coffee.

366
00:19:10,660 --> 00:19:12,140
I've had three already.

367
00:19:12,140 --> 00:19:13,820
- That's my fourth.
SEB: - Uh-uh...

368
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:15,740
Bad night?

369
00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:19,860
Uh, no, I was just, uh,
up looking into this.

370
00:19:19,860 --> 00:19:21,780
Any update
on Sophie's whereabouts?

371
00:19:21,780 --> 00:19:23,900
None on the island.
And no mention

372
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:25,580
in the victim's contacts,
either.

373
00:19:25,580 --> 00:19:26,820
- NAOMI:
- Postmortem's in.

374
00:19:28,060 --> 00:19:31,180
Hortense was poisoned,
as we thought.

375
00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:32,540
Contact poison.

376
00:19:32,540 --> 00:19:35,340
Cone snail venom, in fact.

377
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:37,940
- Cone snail. That's new.
SEB: - Yeah, I mean,

378
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:39,620
they live in the shallow waters
around here.

379
00:19:39,620 --> 00:19:41,340
I mean, you're warned
about them as a kid.

380
00:19:41,340 --> 00:19:43,900
ALL THREE: If it's in a cone,
leave it alone.

381
00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:46,820
The toxin paralyses
the victim first,

382
00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:49,540
then they die a painful death.

383
00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:52,140
Nice.

384
00:19:52,140 --> 00:19:55,620
So whoever did this
wanted Hortense to suffer.

385
00:19:55,620 --> 00:19:57,100
It says here that the poison

386
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:00,420
was only on page 35
of the newspaper -

387
00:20:00,420 --> 00:20:03,020
which means we're looking
at one hell of a gambler!

388
00:20:03,020 --> 00:20:07,020
Somehow poison one page
in one paper of a pack of six,

389
00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:09,100
then pray to
the gods of vengeance

390
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:11,220
that that paper
is delivered to its victim.

391
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:12,700
Risky as anything.

392
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:15,140
It's more than risky,
it's almost impossible.

393
00:20:15,140 --> 00:20:16,940
Did Hortense
touch anything else?

394
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:18,580
Uh, lab's still testing.

395
00:20:18,580 --> 00:20:20,220
They'll get back to us
tomorrow.

396
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:21,500
In the meantime,

397
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,100
Officer Rose and I
have been working on something.

398
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:25,340
Yes. Uh, the daughter, Esme.

399
00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:27,860
I mean, totally bankrolled
by Mummy.

400
00:20:27,860 --> 00:20:29,340
She's never had a job.

401
00:20:29,340 --> 00:20:32,180
She just gets a big,
juicy allowance every month.

402
00:20:32,180 --> 00:20:34,140
And...I mean,
she's living the life.

403
00:20:34,140 --> 00:20:36,340
Well, it seems
Esme might have disagreed.

404
00:20:36,340 --> 00:20:40,260
She'd applied for a job
at a publisher's in Barbados.

405
00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:41,980
Then - plot twist -

406
00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:44,500
we find emails

407
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:47,460
from Hortense
to the managing director

408
00:20:47,460 --> 00:20:50,020
saying Esme was not fit to work

409
00:20:50,020 --> 00:20:51,580
and that she would sue them

410
00:20:51,580 --> 00:20:53,660
if her daughter
had a breakdown.

411
00:20:53,660 --> 00:20:55,700
They took back the job offer
pretty quickly after that.

412
00:20:57,540 --> 00:20:59,500
So Mummy blew her chances

413
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:00,700
of a promising career?

414
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:03,380
EXHALES

415
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:06,180
Uh-uh-uh.

416
00:21:09,220 --> 00:21:10,740
MERVIN: Must have been a blow.

417
00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:13,780
- ESME:
- She was right. I... I wouldn't have coped.

418
00:21:13,780 --> 00:21:16,620
Real life and me
somehow never worked, so...

419
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:18,660
What made you
apply for the job, then?

420
00:21:18,660 --> 00:21:20,300
Anton encouraged me.

421
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,100
He helps me
with all sorts of things.

422
00:21:23,580 --> 00:21:24,740
Can't help noticing

423
00:21:24,740 --> 00:21:27,620
you're wearing the same clothes
as yesterday.

424
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:28,940
Late night, was it?

425
00:21:28,940 --> 00:21:30,980
My mum just died.

426
00:21:30,980 --> 00:21:32,620
I'm allowed to grieve.

427
00:21:32,620 --> 00:21:33,900
Of course you are.

428
00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:37,340
Look, what do you want from me?

429
00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:39,260
You're 31.
Never been anywhere.

430
00:21:39,260 --> 00:21:41,700
Everything you own,
all paid for by your mother.

431
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,420
It's...unusual.

432
00:21:43,420 --> 00:21:46,300
Some might say
a little...controlling.

433
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:48,820
She wasn't. She loved me.

434
00:21:48,820 --> 00:21:50,860
People get away with a lot
under that label.

435
00:21:50,860 --> 00:21:52,740
GRUNTING

436
00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:54,940

come away from there.

437
00:21:57,140 --> 00:21:58,180
PAPILLON BARKS

438
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:01,340

of those cone snails.

439
00:22:01,340 --> 00:22:02,860
I hear they're deadly.

440
00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:05,660
Maman was
always paranoid he'd get stung.

441
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:07,500
Liked to keep him close.

442
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:08,740
A bit like you, then.

443
00:22:08,740 --> 00:22:09,860
Please stop this.

444
00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:12,180
A bright new future
suddenly snatched...

445
00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:14,580
..no, stolen away
by your meddling mother.

446
00:22:14,580 --> 00:22:15,700
That'd have made me angry.

447
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:17,180
Would that have made you angry,
DS Thomas?

448
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:19,260
- Definitely.
- Maybe the anger got too much.

449
00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:20,980
Maybe one day you just snapped.

450
00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:23,540
No. That's not true.

451
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:29,180
We'll be in touch.

452
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:36,260
MERVIN: Never underestimate
the quiet ones.

453
00:22:36,260 --> 00:22:38,020
PHONE BUZZES

454
00:22:40,780 --> 00:22:42,580
All right, mate? What you got?

455
00:22:43,660 --> 00:22:44,900
For real?

456
00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:55,500
Curiouser and curiouser,
as they say.

457
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:58,620
Le Clocher de Saint Azur -
pardon my accent -

458
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:00,900
was printed in Paris
30 years ago.

459
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:03,100
- NAOMI:
- Does that mean that this letter

460
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:05,820
- is also 30 years old?
- We can only assume so.

461
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:07,300
But if that's the case,

462
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:10,300
why would Sophie Martin
wait to send this now?

463
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:12,780
Maybe she knew
Hortense was retiring,

464
00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:14,460
and this was her last chance?

465
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:16,060
We'll look for
any Sophie Martins

466
00:23:16,060 --> 00:23:17,980
who lived in Paris
30 years ago.

467
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:19,100
Yeah, keep me posted.

468
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:20,940
Oh, any news from the lab?

469
00:23:20,940 --> 00:23:22,460
No poison
found on anything else

470
00:23:22,460 --> 00:23:23,700
she could have touched.

471
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:24,740
So this newspaper

472
00:23:24,740 --> 00:23:26,020
was definitely
the murder weapon?

473
00:23:26,020 --> 00:23:27,260
It looks like it.

474
00:23:28,260 --> 00:23:29,580
Something interesting, though.

475
00:23:29,580 --> 00:23:32,540
No fingerprints
found on Hortense's glasses.

476
00:23:32,540 --> 00:23:34,140
Wiped clean.

477
00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:36,540
Hmm. Why would that be?

478
00:23:37,980 --> 00:23:40,100
Right. Until we know
who Sophie Martin is,

479
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:42,140
let's look for
anyone with a motive, yeah?

480
00:23:42,140 --> 00:23:44,180
I found something
on the victim's phone,

481
00:23:44,180 --> 00:23:45,660
in the trash.

482
00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:48,540
And, like my uncle,
Uncle Terence, always says,

483
00:23:48,540 --> 00:23:50,260
- one man's trash is...
- Is another man's treasure.

484
00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:52,620
Yes, we know.
Get on with it, Officer Rose.

485
00:23:52,620 --> 00:23:54,420

- Sorry!

Some anonymous texts
going back three weeks ago.

489
00:24:00,380 --> 00:24:02,060
"You'll get
what's coming to you."

490
00:24:02,060 --> 00:24:03,260
"You don't deserve to live."

491
00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:05,780
And then, just before
her retirement party,

492
00:24:05,780 --> 00:24:09,220
"Wear the amethyst earrings.
They bring out your eyes."

493
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:12,140
MERVIN: Someone was out
for blood. But who?

494
00:24:12,140 --> 00:24:14,340
A reader with a grudge, maybe?

495
00:24:14,340 --> 00:24:17,260
Maybe. Clearly, whoever it is
was watching the house

496
00:24:17,260 --> 00:24:18,380
the other night

497
00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:21,220
while Hortense was getting
ready for her big bash.

498
00:24:21,220 --> 00:24:23,180
First thing tomorrow,
talk to the neighbours.

499
00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:24,980
Maybe they saw someone
hanging around.

ask me something?

Just...

507
00:25:12,740 --> 00:25:14,020
..ask me a question.

00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:16,540
Please.

509
00:25:16,540 --> 00:25:19,100
What are your feelings
about your brother?

510
00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:22,620
OK. Um...

511
00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:27,940
Something akin to anger...

512
00:25:27,940 --> 00:25:29,660
..I'd say.

513
00:25:29,660 --> 00:25:32,500
You know, every time
I'm near that guy,

514
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:34,340
something happens
that shouldn't.

515
00:25:34,340 --> 00:25:35,860
And...and sadness.

516
00:25:37,260 --> 00:25:39,980
Yeah, in fact,
I'd say mainly sadness.

517
00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:42,260
I wanted it to work.

518
00:25:42,260 --> 00:25:45,460
Yeah? Believe me,
I wanted us to work.

519
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:48,820
But you know what?

520
00:25:51,580 --> 00:25:53,060
We just don't.

521
00:25:53,060 --> 00:25:55,580
I do not trust that guy.

522
00:25:55,580 --> 00:25:58,140
And if you can't trust family,
then...

523
00:25:58,140 --> 00:25:59,220
..who can you trust?

524
00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:00,900
Would it be more helpful
to talk to him

525
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:02,460
about what happened?

526
00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:05,700
I don't know
where I'd even start.

527
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:07,780
Sometimes,
if talking's difficult,

528
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:10,340
writing it down can help.

Yeah...writing him a letter,
yeah.

532
00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:19,900
Could work.

533
00:26:23,860 --> 00:26:27,220
A letter!
It'd be a waste of time.

534
00:26:27,220 --> 00:26:28,420
Why don't you tell him

535
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:31,100
what kind of brother
you wanted?

536
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:33,620
Because it's a fantasy.

537
00:26:33,620 --> 00:26:35,500
He can't be that brother.

538
00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:39,420
So I need to just...

539
00:26:39,420 --> 00:26:41,820
..accept it and...move on.

540
00:26:43,180 --> 00:26:46,460
And, sir, how will you do that
unless you're honest with him?

541
00:26:46,460 --> 00:26:49,460
And even more so...
with yourself.

542
00:26:49,460 --> 00:26:50,820
Catherine,

543
00:26:50,820 --> 00:26:53,620
you were at Hortense's party?

544
00:26:53,620 --> 00:26:55,620
- Yeah.
- Did you know her well?

545
00:26:55,620 --> 00:26:56,940
Not really.

546
00:26:56,940 --> 00:26:58,420
And the family?

547
00:26:58,420 --> 00:27:00,780
Esme. Anton Busette.

548
00:27:00,780 --> 00:27:03,580
Oh. Anton. Hmm!

549
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:05,060
Men like him...

550
00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:06,460
Hungry lions

551
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:10,180
looking at you like you're
a tasty steak at a buffet.

552
00:27:10,180 --> 00:27:13,140
Oh, have you two got history?

553
00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:15,100
He'd like that.

554
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:16,980
Do you want another drink?

555
00:27:16,980 --> 00:27:18,660
Oh, no, thank you.

556
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:20,620
I think I'll have
an early night.

557
00:27:20,620 --> 00:27:22,540
Perhaps you should, too, sir.

558
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,020
Why's that?

559
00:27:24,020 --> 00:27:26,820
Seeing that you're having
trouble sleeping.

560
00:27:26,820 --> 00:27:28,980
Another cold one for me,
please, Catherine.

561
00:27:46,060 --> 00:27:47,540
I speak to him,

562
00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:49,060
and you take the house
over there.

563
00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:50,860
Then we'll get to
those letters. Sound good?

564
00:27:50,860 --> 00:27:53,140
Cool. See you later, alligator.

565
00:28:10,060 --> 00:28:11,780
Oh, come on, come on, come on!

566
00:28:19,340 --> 00:28:20,580
What are you doing?

567
00:28:20,580 --> 00:28:21,820
Huh? N-Nothing.

568
00:28:21,820 --> 00:28:23,500
What's behind your back?

569
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:25,180
- A cupboard.
- Don't lie to me.

570
00:28:25,180 --> 00:28:26,380
There's a mirror
right behind you.

571
00:28:28,380 --> 00:28:30,980
Just promise you won't laugh,
all right?

572
00:28:30,980 --> 00:28:32,020
I promise.

573
00:28:33,020 --> 00:28:35,660
"Dear Hortense,
There's this girl I like.

574
00:28:35,660 --> 00:28:39,140
"If she were a chicken wing,
she'd be extra hot.

575
00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:41,940
"All summer we've chilled.
But now she's gone quiet.

576
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:43,300
"I'm confused.

577
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:44,820
"She keeps watching my stories.

578
00:28:44,820 --> 00:28:48,020
"Once, she commented
with a tomato emoji.

579
00:28:48,020 --> 00:28:49,780
"What does that mean?

580
00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:52,500
"I just want to know
where I stand.

581
00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:56,180
"Yours, Sebastian Rose."

582
00:28:56,180 --> 00:28:58,300
You know this is supposed
to be anonymous?

583
00:28:58,300 --> 00:28:59,620
I know that now.

584
00:28:59,620 --> 00:29:01,580
Well, did Hortense write back?

585
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:03,660
She did.
She said something about...

586
00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:06,860
..allowing space for
roots to grow, or something.

587
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:09,340
- And have they?
- No.

588
00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:12,140
Cos she might be waiting
for you, you know.

589
00:29:12,140 --> 00:29:15,220
That tomato emoji could mean
this girl's interested.

590
00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:17,420
You can't sit back.
You got to lean in.

591
00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:20,780
Yeah. You know,
maybe you're right.

592
00:29:20,780 --> 00:29:23,620
The neighbour did tell me
something pretty darn spicy.

593
00:29:23,620 --> 00:29:24,660
- Yeah?
- Mm!

594
00:29:25,620 --> 00:29:27,020
DICE CLATTERS

595
00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:33,860
What are you doing?

596
00:29:33,860 --> 00:29:35,700
A game of probability.

597
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:36,900
Our killer

598
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:39,660
somehow gets a poisoned copy
of the Saint Marie News

599
00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:41,260
into Clayton's
stack of newspapers -

600
00:29:41,260 --> 00:29:42,740
in which there happens to be

601
00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:44,860
five other copies
of the Saint Marie News -

602
00:29:44,860 --> 00:29:46,420
and from which
he pulls one copy

603
00:29:46,420 --> 00:29:48,380
of the Saint Marie News
at random

604
00:29:48,380 --> 00:29:50,500
and delivers it to Hortense.

605
00:29:48,380 --> 00:29:50,500
PAPILLON BARKS

606
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:51,660
- A one-in-six chance.
- Morning!

607
00:29:51,660 --> 00:29:52,620
Morning!

608
00:29:53,660 --> 00:29:57,020
Our only clue...is the egg.

609
00:29:57,020 --> 00:29:58,820
Why was it hard boiled

610
00:29:58,820 --> 00:30:01,860
when Hortense likes it to be
perfectly dippable?

611
00:30:01,860 --> 00:30:05,260
Sophie Martin
is a very popular name.

612
00:30:05,260 --> 00:30:08,380
There were about
100 Sophie Martins in Paris

613
00:30:08,380 --> 00:30:09,500
around that time.

614
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,460
Look for any connections
with Saint Marie, yeah?

615
00:30:12,460 --> 00:30:15,220
- We have to find this woman.
- Will do.

616
00:30:16,180 --> 00:30:17,900
YAWNS

617
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:20,780
Sorry, it's not you. It's me.

618
00:30:21,780 --> 00:30:24,220
So the beers didn't help, then?

619
00:30:24,220 --> 00:30:25,860
Surprisingly, no.

620
00:30:27,940 --> 00:30:29,700
And...

621
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:31,860
..the letter?

622
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:36,020
No, it's not a good idea.
And that's an end of it.

623
00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:37,180
OK?

624
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:40,340
PHONE BUZZES

625
00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:41,580
Sergeant Fletcher?

626
00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:44,420
We know who's been sending
those messages.

627
00:30:44,420 --> 00:30:45,900
The neighbour
was taking out the bins

628
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:47,260
on the day of the party

629
00:30:47,260 --> 00:30:52,020
when he overheard an argument
between Kim and Hortense.

630
00:30:52,020 --> 00:30:53,620
- NAOMI:
- Did he hear what was said?

631
00:30:53,620 --> 00:30:55,140
Certainly did.

632
00:30:55,140 --> 00:30:56,420
It's you, isn't it?!

633
00:30:56,420 --> 00:30:59,300
You have been sending
these foul messages.

634
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:01,540
Who else would know
those things?

635
00:31:01,540 --> 00:31:03,020
And guess what?

636
00:31:03,020 --> 00:31:05,140
Hortense said she'd report her

637
00:31:05,140 --> 00:31:06,620
to the police the next day.

638
00:31:12,140 --> 00:31:14,740
- KIM:
- I would never do anything so stupid.

639
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:16,860
So why would
Hortense think it was you?

640
00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:19,780
No clue. Those texts
contain personal details

641
00:31:19,780 --> 00:31:22,180
that only someone close to her
would know.

642
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:23,940
So how long have you
worked with Miss LeRoux?

643
00:31:23,940 --> 00:31:25,860
Oh, about six months or so.

644
00:31:25,860 --> 00:31:27,340
Was she a good boss?

645
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:30,540
Madame was a diamond.
It's a tragedy that she's gone.

646
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:33,300
From what we've heard, she was
more dragon than diamond.

647
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:36,060
She certainly gave her daughter
a hard time, didn't she?

648
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:37,940
Well, she was
a mite overprotective,

649
00:31:37,940 --> 00:31:39,820
but she cared.
Which is more than most.

650
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:42,300
But if she was like that
with her own flesh and blood,

651
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:45,140
it's not a stretch to imagine
she'd do the same to you.

652
00:31:45,140 --> 00:31:48,260
Perhaps you decided
to get your own back,

653
00:31:48,260 --> 00:31:49,540
frighten her.

654
00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:51,900
But then she found you out,
didn't she?

655
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:53,660
You'd have faced
criminal charges.

656
00:31:53,660 --> 00:31:55,620
You'd have lost everything.

657
00:31:55,620 --> 00:31:57,740
So... I killed her?

658
00:31:58,980 --> 00:32:00,900
You've got this all wrong,
Officers.

659
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:03,620
I've been around the block
more times than I care for.

660
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:05,340
Life's good here.
Better than I hoped.

661
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:07,220
Why would I risk losing that?

662
00:32:11,540 --> 00:32:14,820
You know what? I said to her,
"Go ahead. Report me.

663
00:32:14,820 --> 00:32:16,260
"Any decent investigation team

664
00:32:16,260 --> 00:32:18,660
"would discover that
I didn't send those texts."

665
00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:21,020
- Convenient.
- What is?

666
00:32:21,020 --> 00:32:22,820
Well, she never got the chance,
did she?

667
00:32:22,820 --> 00:32:24,940
And now here you are,
free as a bird.

668
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:34,500
- NAOMI:
- She does have a point.

669
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:37,620
I don't see what she gains
from scaring Hortense.

670
00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:39,220
Well, who else?

671
00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:43,940
Well, I'm not overly thrilled
about talking to Anton Busette,

672
00:32:43,940 --> 00:32:46,380
but if it was an angry reader
who sent those texts, then...

673
00:32:46,380 --> 00:32:48,900
..we're gonna have to. Huh?

674
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:50,740
Sir, are you sure you can...

675
00:32:51,740 --> 00:32:52,940
..keep cool?

676
00:32:54,660 --> 00:32:55,980
As a cucumber.

677
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:07,780
So, Hortense LeRoux

678
00:33:07,780 --> 00:33:10,900
didn't mention anything to you
about these text messages?

679
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:12,500
Ever since the divorce,

680
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:14,100
we didn't have
the same intimacy,

681
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:15,420
you understand?

682
00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:16,700
Please sit down.

683
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:18,660
No, I'm all right standing,
thank you.

684
00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:20,860
Any hate mail
sent to the office?

685
00:33:20,860 --> 00:33:22,300
Complaints,
people calling in

686
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,900
to talk to her?

687
00:33:23,900 --> 00:33:25,220
You don't give up, do you?

688
00:33:25,220 --> 00:33:27,060
Wow,
this is deceptively heavy.

689
00:33:27,060 --> 00:33:29,420
- Is this real gold?
- Can you put that down?

690
00:33:30,540 --> 00:33:33,940
I've already said, I don't know
who was sending these messages,

691
00:33:33,940 --> 00:33:36,420
and whoever she is
won't be easily found.

692
00:33:36,420 --> 00:33:38,700
- "She"?
- What?

693
00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:40,540
You just said,
"Whoever she is."

694
00:33:40,540 --> 00:33:41,980
I misspoke.

695
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:43,140
They.

696
00:33:43,140 --> 00:33:44,500
Unusual for a man
in your line of work

697
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:45,540
to misspeak.

698
00:33:45,540 --> 00:33:47,780
Unusual for a man
in your line of work

699
00:33:47,780 --> 00:33:49,540
to behave like an amateur.

700
00:33:49,540 --> 00:33:52,260
- Excuse me?
- Let me be crystal clear.

701
00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:56,060
Stop wasting time
asking obtuse questions,

702
00:33:56,060 --> 00:33:59,300
and go about doing
your actual job.

703
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,380
Let me be crystal clear.

704
00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:03,020
These obtuse questions
are to find out

705
00:34:03,020 --> 00:34:04,980
- who murdered your ex-wife!
- Sir...

706
00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:06,380
But the fact
that you can't see that

707
00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:07,700
is because your head
is so far up your own b...

708
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:09,980
HORN BLOWS

709
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:13,020
Well, that escalated.

710
00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:16,100
Look...I get it.

711
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:17,740
Sir, what you went through

712
00:34:17,740 --> 00:34:21,220
was something
no-one should ever have to,

713
00:34:21,220 --> 00:34:23,060
but you can't keep
pretending like...

714
00:34:23,060 --> 00:34:24,780
- Pretending?
- Yes, pretending

715
00:34:24,780 --> 00:34:26,220
- like you're OK!
- I am OK.

716
00:34:26,220 --> 00:34:28,260
Your judgment
is clearly off because...

717
00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:29,780
- My judg...
- ..you're not sleeping.

718
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:31,220
And you're not sleeping
because you have

719
00:34:31,220 --> 00:34:33,460
this thing with Solomon
hanging over your head.

720
00:34:33,460 --> 00:34:35,540
- What do you suggest?
- I don't know!

721
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:38,460
Write the letter! Whatever.
Get it off your chest.

722
00:34:38,460 --> 00:34:40,820
We have a murder to solve.

723
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,460
Well, all right.

724
00:34:42,460 --> 00:34:43,540
Fine.

725
00:34:43,540 --> 00:34:45,940
- I'll do it.
- Thank you.

726
00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:52,380
So what are we going to do
about Mr Busette?

727
00:34:52,380 --> 00:34:56,340
He obviously suspects
who's sending those texts.

728
00:34:56,340 --> 00:34:58,740
Well...

729
00:34:58,740 --> 00:35:01,140
..we need a tactical rethink.

730
00:35:01,140 --> 00:35:02,180
Mm.

731
00:35:04,740 --> 00:35:05,860
I have an idea.

732
00:35:15,020 --> 00:35:17,340
Who knew Saint Marie
was so high-tech?

733
00:35:17,340 --> 00:35:18,380
Hmm!

734
00:35:18,380 --> 00:35:20,740
Found it in the back
of the evidence store.

735
00:35:20,740 --> 00:35:22,500
Don't think it's been used
for a while.

00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:23,540
You surprise me.

737
00:35:25,220 --> 00:35:26,820
It's from 1986.

00:35:30,460 --> 00:35:31,660
A pleasure.

I feel like
one of Charlie's Angels.

742
00:35:34,180 --> 00:35:35,980
Now, remember,

00:35:35,980 --> 00:35:38,140
you're there to find out
who Anton thinks

but don't go
straight in for the kill.

00:35:41,260 --> 00:35:42,300
Act natural.

"Raincheck" is your code word.

Pleasantly surprised,

All they were bothered about

766
00:36:44,780 --> 00:36:49,260
were these nasty messages
Hortense was receiving.

767
00:36:49,260 --> 00:36:51,140
Thank you.

You seem like a woman
of good sense and judgment.

I like to think so.

This stays between us.

771
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:02,300
A few years ago,
Hortense told me something.

772
00:37:02,300 --> 00:37:04,620
Esme isn't her child.

773
00:37:04,620 --> 00:37:06,420
She took her from Paris
when she was a baby.

774
00:37:06,420 --> 00:37:08,180
This is big!

775
00:37:08,180 --> 00:37:10,700
Sadly, the mother wasn't able
to take care of her.

776
00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:13,060
A drug addict.

The way Hortense told it
sounded like

780
00:37:17,220 --> 00:37:20,060
she was too out of it
to notice.

781
00:37:20,060 --> 00:37:22,380
Hortense
couldn't have children.

782
00:37:22,380 --> 00:37:25,740
But the authorities,
did they not realise?

783
00:37:25,740 --> 00:37:28,820
She came here,
forged her papers.

784
00:37:28,820 --> 00:37:32,340
She was Esme's mother
in all but flesh and blood.

785
00:37:32,340 --> 00:37:35,380
- And Esme has no idea?
- No.

And I want it to stay that way.

789
00:37:41,380 --> 00:37:45,380
it's Esme's birth mother
sending those messages?

written about
in Sophie Martin's letter

812
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,020
is referring to Hortense

813
00:38:51,020 --> 00:38:53,140
stealing Sophie's baby
30 years ago.

814
00:38:53,140 --> 00:38:56,900
Which means
Sophie is Esme's real mother,

815
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:59,660
and finally explains
why Hortense was so desperate

816
00:38:59,660 --> 00:39:01,060
to publish the letter.

817
00:39:01,060 --> 00:39:03,900
She knew it was Sophie
coming for her.

818
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:06,860
Her response?
"Back off. Esme is mine."

819
00:39:06,860 --> 00:39:09,700
But why wait 30 years
to send this?

Don't know yet, but we will.

"You'll get
what's coming to you."

"You don't deserve to live."

00:40:39,460 --> 00:40:42,140
addicts are more likely
to have criminal charges,

841
00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:46,580

three Sophie Martins on file -

842
00:40:46,580 --> 00:40:48,780
two for possession,
one for aggravated robbery.

Uh, yeah, it did, actually.

00:41:08,940 --> 00:41:10,340
You know what I realised?

00:41:10,340 --> 00:41:11,540

- Where is everyone?
- Following a lead.

00:41:30,140 --> 00:41:31,980
If Sophie Martin was outside

859
00:41:31,980 --> 00:41:34,300
Madame LeRoux's house
that night,

860
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:36,940
it's possible she followed her
to the party.

861
00:41:36,940 --> 00:41:42,220
So we went through the photos
online, and look at this one.

862
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:48,900
Yeah, she does look
about the right age

863
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:50,380
that Sophie would be.

00:41:50,380 --> 00:41:52,180

00:41:52,180 --> 00:41:55,700
The waiter said she got into
a green VW camper van,

00:41:55,700 --> 00:41:59,740

the one garage that fixes them.

00:41:59,740 --> 00:42:01,620

868
00:42:03,260 --> 00:42:05,420
Yeah, talk of the devil.

00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:09,020
So, someone matching
her description

871
00:42:09,020 --> 00:42:10,860
came into the garage last week.

872
00:42:10,860 --> 00:42:12,780
Goes by the name of Calypso.

873
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:15,260
Says she normally parks up
by Coral Beach.

874
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:17,060
We need to get there, pronto.

875
00:42:17,060 --> 00:42:18,740
- SEB:
- Already here, sir.

876
00:42:18,740 --> 00:42:20,340

You're mad.

00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:32,220
I don't even know this woman
you're talking about.

881
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:36,420
Then why did you sneak
into the party that night?

882
00:42:37,580 --> 00:42:41,460
Just passing. I felt thirsty.
It's not a crime.

883
00:42:41,460 --> 00:42:43,580
MERVIN: No, but stalking is.

884
00:42:43,580 --> 00:42:46,940
See, our theory is
you are Sophie Martin.

885
00:42:46,940 --> 00:42:49,900
You assumed a new identity
to come to Saint Marie

886
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:52,540

00:43:02,860 --> 00:43:05,460
You know we can trace the SIM
to the shop you bought it in,

892
00:43:05,460 --> 00:43:06,900
check their CCTV?

893
00:43:09,060 --> 00:43:11,900
OK, here's the truth.

894
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:13,940
That woman
you're talking about,

895
00:43:13,940 --> 00:43:15,620
Sophie Martin,

896
00:43:15,620 --> 00:43:17,300
that ain't me!

897
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:19,340
But those texts...

898
00:43:21,820 --> 00:43:23,220
..I sent them.

899
00:43:23,220 --> 00:43:24,780
Not for the reason you think,
though.

900
00:43:24,780 --> 00:43:26,020
Why, then?

901
00:43:27,060 --> 00:43:28,620
Two months ago,

902
00:43:28,620 --> 00:43:30,980
I sent Dear Hortense a letter.

903
00:43:32,020 --> 00:43:35,500
Hortense told me to cut
my mother out of my life.

904
00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:38,940
"Toxic mothers shouldn't
be allowed to act that way,"

905
00:43:38,940 --> 00:43:40,260
she said.

906
00:43:40,260 --> 00:43:41,620
Bit hypocritical,
coming from her.

907
00:43:41,620 --> 00:43:43,980
I did what she said.

908
00:43:43,980 --> 00:43:46,100
Know what?

909
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:49,900
My mother died
alone in her bed!

910
00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:52,100
If I hadn't listened to
that loudmouthed woman,

911
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:53,460
I would have been there!

912
00:43:53,460 --> 00:43:55,100
That must have made you angry.

913
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:57,060
Not enough to kill her.

914
00:43:57,060 --> 00:44:00,620
I wanted to scare her,
make her suffer,

915
00:44:00,620 --> 00:44:02,740
the same way
I'd been suffering.

916
00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:05,820
Walking about this Earth
with a perfect life.

917
00:44:05,820 --> 00:44:09,740
Little care for the people
whose lives she ruins!

918
00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:18,820
Miss Jones,
look, no disrespect, but...

919
00:44:19,860 --> 00:44:23,460
..it kind of seems like
you're more angry at yourself.

920
00:44:25,540 --> 00:44:27,780
Look, I'm no expert, but...

921
00:44:27,780 --> 00:44:31,540
..it doesn't help
to hold on to things.

922
00:44:45,420 --> 00:44:47,140
So we still haven't a scooby

923
00:44:47,140 --> 00:44:48,700
how the killer
pulled off this murder.

924
00:44:48,700 --> 00:44:50,580
A stack of six papers,

925
00:44:50,580 --> 00:44:52,860
and they managed to poison one
and have it delivered

926
00:44:52,860 --> 00:44:55,100
practically straight into
Hortense LeRoux's hands.

927
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:57,300
And let's not forget
about the egg.

928
00:44:57,300 --> 00:44:58,620
What happened that morning

929
00:44:58,620 --> 00:45:00,740
to make her ruin
a perfectly good breakfast?

930
00:45:00,740 --> 00:45:04,100
- Sir...
- Hold that thought. I'm late.

931
00:45:05,660 --> 00:45:08,060
EXHALES

932
00:45:05,660 --> 00:45:08,060
I'll be back.

933
00:45:14,900 --> 00:45:16,220
How do you feel?

934
00:45:17,260 --> 00:45:19,860
Uh, better.

935
00:45:19,860 --> 00:45:22,140
Definitely better.

936
00:45:22,140 --> 00:45:24,780
I mean,
everything here is just...

937
00:45:24,780 --> 00:45:26,660
Pfff!

938
00:45:26,660 --> 00:45:28,100
You know, gone.

939
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:30,260
All I need to do now
is post it.

940
00:45:30,260 --> 00:45:32,260
- Well done.
- Ah.

941
00:45:32,260 --> 00:45:33,300
Thank you.

942
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:36,700
Now, can we talk a little more
about your life here?

943
00:45:36,700 --> 00:45:38,540
Oh, how long have you got?

944
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:41,700
- About half an hour.
- No, I meant...

945
00:45:49,100 --> 00:45:52,260
She timed it.
Why didn't she take it out?

946
00:45:53,780 --> 00:45:55,980
And the egg -
how long did she cook it for?

947
00:45:55,980 --> 00:45:57,380
Three minutes or so.

948
00:45:57,380 --> 00:45:58,860
- MATTIE:
- He then cycled straight here,

949
00:45:58,860 --> 00:46:02,740
delivered the newspaper
to Madame LeRoux at 7:15am.

950
00:46:02,740 --> 00:46:04,180
DOG BARKS

951
00:46:02,740 --> 00:46:04,180
I'm sorry. The little man

952
00:46:04,180 --> 00:46:05,700
doesn't like strangers.

953
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:06,980
There were no fingerprints

954
00:46:06,980 --> 00:46:09,100
found on Hortense's glasses.

955
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:10,580
I wanted to scare her.

956
00:46:10,580 --> 00:46:11,700
I wanted her to suffer,

957
00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:13,380
the same way
I'd been suffering.

958
00:46:13,380 --> 00:46:16,420
Of course!
That's the reason why.

959
00:46:16,420 --> 00:46:19,220
- Why what?
- The egg was hard boiled.

960
00:46:19,220 --> 00:46:21,860
I can see everything
clearly now. Ha!

961
00:46:23,860 --> 00:46:26,500
Oh, thanks for your patience.

962
00:46:27,980 --> 00:46:30,260
I know who the killer is
and how they did it.

963
00:46:30,260 --> 00:46:32,020
Those photos
from the Paris police,

964
00:46:32,020 --> 00:46:33,100
have they come through?

965
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,140
Just in.

966
00:46:34,140 --> 00:46:35,620
Right,
we need a search warrant,

967
00:46:35,620 --> 00:46:37,740
and then we can have
a little family reunion.

968
00:46:44,780 --> 00:46:47,460
Agony aunts are known
for giving advice

969
00:46:47,460 --> 00:46:50,420
to help solve
difficult problems.

970
00:46:50,420 --> 00:46:52,900
However, I doubt they've ever
been asked to advise

971
00:46:52,900 --> 00:46:55,140
on a problem
as difficult as this one.

972
00:46:55,140 --> 00:46:58,260
Hortense LeRoux was poisoned,

973
00:46:58,260 --> 00:47:00,340
effectively
by her own column,

974
00:47:00,340 --> 00:47:02,020
but we had no idea

975
00:47:02,020 --> 00:47:04,580
how the killer managed
to poison the newspaper

976
00:47:04,580 --> 00:47:07,060
and get it delivered
straight to her,

977
00:47:07,060 --> 00:47:10,180
when the paper boy
took one at random

978
00:47:10,180 --> 00:47:11,580
from his stack.

979
00:47:11,580 --> 00:47:14,740
But with the help
of a hard-boiled egg...

980
00:47:14,740 --> 00:47:16,780
Oh, not this again.

981
00:47:16,780 --> 00:47:18,620
..we finally cracked it.

982
00:47:20,740 --> 00:47:22,420
You, Kim.

983
00:47:22,420 --> 00:47:25,140
It was you
who murdered Hortense.

984
00:47:25,140 --> 00:47:27,180
- KIM:
- Me? No.

985
00:47:27,180 --> 00:47:29,220
I told you
I was telling the truth.

986
00:47:29,220 --> 00:47:33,020
As Miss LeRoux's housekeeper,
you knew her morning routine,

987
00:47:33,020 --> 00:47:34,460
that she liked
to read her column

988
00:47:34,460 --> 00:47:37,020
whilst having her breakfast.

989
00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:40,580
You also knew that Clayton
drops the paper on the porch

990
00:47:40,580 --> 00:47:42,740
at 7:15am,

991
00:47:42,740 --> 00:47:45,420
and Papillon barks
to alert Hortense,

992
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:48,540
as he always does
when someone's at the door.

993
00:47:48,540 --> 00:47:52,580
So, earlier that morning,
you went to another newsagent

994
00:47:52,580 --> 00:47:56,300
and bought a copy
of the Saint Marie News.

995
00:47:56,300 --> 00:47:58,500
Let's call this paper A.

996
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:00,300
You then lace
the problem page

997
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:02,180
with cone snail poison -

998
00:48:02,180 --> 00:48:03,820
something you knew about

999
00:48:03,820 --> 00:48:06,620
from Hortense's fear of
her dog getting stung by one.

1000
00:48:06,620 --> 00:48:09,060
Maman was always paranoid
he'd get stung.

1001
00:48:09,060 --> 00:48:11,380
Then you dropped paper A

1002
00:48:11,380 --> 00:48:12,900
onto the porch

1003
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:15,260
some time
before Clayton usually arrived.

1004
00:48:15,260 --> 00:48:17,060
Hortense must have been

1005
00:48:17,060 --> 00:48:20,020
in the middle
of preparing her breakfast,

1006
00:48:20,020 --> 00:48:22,540
Papillon barked as normal...

1007
00:48:20,020 --> 00:48:22,540
BARKING

1008
00:48:22,540 --> 00:48:24,740
..so she went outside
to collect the newspaper

1009
00:48:24,740 --> 00:48:27,660
she thought
had just been delivered.

1010
00:48:30,740 --> 00:48:32,740
She went back into the kitchen,

1011
00:48:32,740 --> 00:48:35,500
eager to see if her request
to change her final column

1012
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:36,820
had been carried out.

1013
00:48:36,820 --> 00:48:38,140
In doing so,

1014
00:48:38,140 --> 00:48:40,460
she came into contact
with the poison

1015
00:48:40,460 --> 00:48:41,780
and subsequently died.

1016
00:48:43,140 --> 00:48:44,900
A painful death,
by all accounts.

1017
00:48:48,060 --> 00:48:49,620
You then came into the house

1018
00:48:49,620 --> 00:48:51,540
through the back

1019
00:48:51,540 --> 00:48:54,740
and put on
Hortense's purple gown,

1020
00:48:54,740 --> 00:48:58,060
a wig matching her hair,
with a purple headband

1021
00:48:58,060 --> 00:48:59,500
and, finally,

1022
00:48:59,500 --> 00:49:03,140
the item that was
unmistakeably Hortense -

1023
00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:06,500
her statement purple glasses.

1024
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:09,100
MERVIN: As usual, at 7:15,

1025
00:49:09,100 --> 00:49:12,700
Clayton delivered
the newspaper, paper B,

1026
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:14,420
and Papillon barked.

1027
00:49:14,420 --> 00:49:17,860
Kim, now dressed as Hortense,
opened the door

1028
00:49:17,860 --> 00:49:19,220
and waved to him.

1029
00:49:19,220 --> 00:49:21,140
- As Clayton cycled away...
- Morning!

1030
00:49:21,140 --> 00:49:23,060
..he wouldn't have known
that it was, in fact,

1031
00:49:23,060 --> 00:49:25,580
you waving at him
and not Hortense.

1032
00:49:25,580 --> 00:49:28,180
You then came back
into the kitchen

1033
00:49:28,180 --> 00:49:30,300
and returned
Miss LeRoux's glasses,

1034
00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:33,300
wiping away any prints first.

1035
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:36,300
Now we come to the egg,

1036
00:49:36,300 --> 00:49:37,940
and your ultimate downfall.

1037
00:49:37,940 --> 00:49:41,300
You see, in your haste
to stage the scene

1038
00:49:41,300 --> 00:49:42,700
before Esme arrived,

1039
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:44,180
you almost forgot
Miss LeRoux's egg

1040
00:49:44,180 --> 00:49:46,100
was still boiling away
on the stove.

1041
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:50,220
You needed everything
to look exactly as it should

1042
00:49:50,220 --> 00:49:53,460
to fit the timeline
of Hortense making breakfast,

1043
00:49:53,460 --> 00:49:55,340
then reading her column.

1044
00:49:55,340 --> 00:49:58,820
So you hurriedly took
the now hard-boiled egg

1045
00:49:58,820 --> 00:49:59,980
out of the pan

1046
00:49:59,980 --> 00:50:02,660
and clumsily put it
in the egg cup.

1047
00:50:02,660 --> 00:50:04,940
Then you left the house
through the back,

1048
00:50:04,940 --> 00:50:06,500
the same way you came,

1049
00:50:06,500 --> 00:50:09,380
got into your car that was
parked around the corner,

1050
00:50:09,380 --> 00:50:10,900
and drove around the front

1051
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:14,820
to time perfectly
with Esme's arrival.

1052
00:50:15,980 --> 00:50:20,780
You later disposed of paper B

1053
00:50:20,780 --> 00:50:23,180
and the wig at your home.

1054
00:50:23,180 --> 00:50:26,500
We found these in the bin
on your street.

1055
00:50:26,500 --> 00:50:30,060
An audacious
yet brilliant plan.

1056
00:50:30,060 --> 00:50:33,420
But...why go to such lengths?

1057
00:50:35,020 --> 00:50:38,780
Kim Woods isn't your real name,
is it?

1058
00:50:39,820 --> 00:50:40,940
You are, in fact,

1059
00:50:40,940 --> 00:50:43,300
Sophie Martin.

1060
00:50:44,300 --> 00:50:45,460
- NAOMI:
- 30 years ago,

1061
00:50:45,460 --> 00:50:50,660
Sophie Martin moved to Paris
from the UK with her boyfriend,

1062
00:50:50,660 --> 00:50:52,740
who was escaping
some trouble back home.

1063
00:50:52,740 --> 00:50:56,260
She was living in a commune
in Montmartre,

1064
00:50:56,260 --> 00:51:00,420
and it's there she met
Hortense, an ambitious writer.

1065
00:51:01,420 --> 00:51:02,940
Sophie...

1066
00:51:04,660 --> 00:51:06,820
..was a drug addict

1067
00:51:06,820 --> 00:51:09,580
with a newborn baby.

1068
00:51:09,580 --> 00:51:12,260
MERVIN: You were doing
your best, no doubt,

1069
00:51:12,260 --> 00:51:15,460
but from what we now know
about Miss LeRoux,

1070
00:51:15,460 --> 00:51:17,460
she had a saviour complex.

1071
00:51:17,460 --> 00:51:20,460
Through
our undercover investigation,

1072
00:51:20,460 --> 00:51:22,380
we discovered her secret.

1073
00:51:22,380 --> 00:51:26,100
Hortense stole your baby
in the night

1074
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:28,540
and went as far away
as she could...

1075
00:51:29,980 --> 00:51:31,300
..to Saint Marie.

1076
00:51:33,020 --> 00:51:36,180
That baby was you, Esme.

1077
00:51:37,660 --> 00:51:39,580
You're my mother?

1078
00:51:40,700 --> 00:51:43,460
Hortense was my friend,

1079
00:51:43,460 --> 00:51:47,020
and she offered
to look after you.

1080
00:51:47,020 --> 00:51:52,620
And, yes, I was struggling,
but I loved you so much.

1081
00:51:52,620 --> 00:51:55,180
And then one morning,
I woke up and you was gone,

1082
00:51:55,180 --> 00:51:58,460
and I didn't sleep for days,
searching for you.

1083
00:52:00,140 --> 00:52:03,660
But then you found out
Hortense was here, didn't you?

1084
00:52:03,660 --> 00:52:05,900
Through her column.

1085
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:08,580
So, all those years ago,

1086
00:52:08,580 --> 00:52:12,300
you wrote this letter
to Dear Hortense,

1087
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:15,780
the same letter
Hortense wanted to publish

1088
00:52:15,780 --> 00:52:20,420
at the very last minute
for her final issue.

1089
00:52:20,420 --> 00:52:23,020
I wanted her to know
I was coming for her.

1090
00:52:23,020 --> 00:52:25,260
Then you were arrested?

1091
00:52:25,260 --> 00:52:27,260
The guy who I was
going out with at the time,

1092
00:52:27,260 --> 00:52:29,660
he told the police
that I was involved

1093
00:52:29,660 --> 00:52:30,980
in an armed robbery,

1094
00:52:30,980 --> 00:52:33,020
and someone
got really badly hurt,

1095
00:52:33,020 --> 00:52:34,820
and it was all lies.

1096
00:52:34,820 --> 00:52:36,660
I had nothing to do with it.

1097
00:52:36,660 --> 00:52:38,100
He was not a good man.

1098
00:52:38,100 --> 00:52:41,780
And I didn't get a chance
to send the letter.

1099
00:52:41,780 --> 00:52:44,700
They put me away for years.

1100
00:52:44,700 --> 00:52:47,100
Time after time,
my parole was refused...

1101
00:52:48,060 --> 00:52:49,900
..and I lost all hope.

1102
00:52:49,900 --> 00:52:52,740
Until one day
I finally got myself together,

1103
00:52:52,740 --> 00:52:54,420
got myself clean.

1104
00:52:54,420 --> 00:52:57,220
That day came...

1105
00:52:57,220 --> 00:52:59,620
..and I knew what I had to do.

1106
00:52:59,620 --> 00:53:01,620
I had to find you

1107
00:53:01,620 --> 00:53:05,420
and hurt Hortense
for what she'd done.

1108
00:53:05,420 --> 00:53:07,740
I came to Saint Marie.

1109
00:53:07,740 --> 00:53:09,420
The first place I went
was a newsagent,

1110
00:53:09,420 --> 00:53:12,020
and I saw the ad
for her housekeeper.

1111
00:53:12,020 --> 00:53:13,780
It felt like fate.

1112
00:53:13,780 --> 00:53:14,820
Come in.

1113
00:53:15,860 --> 00:53:18,140
You bided your time,

1114
00:53:18,140 --> 00:53:20,500
working out
the perfect murder plan.

1115
00:53:20,500 --> 00:53:23,540
But when Hortense
received your letter,

1116
00:53:23,540 --> 00:53:26,620
she must have known
you were gunning for her.

1117
00:53:26,620 --> 00:53:29,260
You read her response.

1118
00:53:29,260 --> 00:53:31,860
She didn't regret it.

1119
00:53:31,860 --> 00:53:33,660
Not one bit!

1120
00:53:36,140 --> 00:53:38,860
Esme, I don't expect you
to forgive me,

1121
00:53:38,860 --> 00:53:41,180
but I would really like you
to understand

1122
00:53:41,180 --> 00:53:44,780
that what she did destroyed me.

1123
00:53:45,860 --> 00:53:47,820
Killing her
was the only way

1124
00:53:47,820 --> 00:53:50,780
I could ever have
a relationship with you.

1125
00:53:50,780 --> 00:53:52,500
Officer Rose?

1126
00:53:55,180 --> 00:53:58,100
Sophie Martin,
I'm arresting you

1127
00:53:58,100 --> 00:54:00,180
for the murder
of Hortense LeRoux.

1128
00:54:00,180 --> 00:54:02,740
You don't need to say anything,
but it may harm your defence

1129
00:54:02,740 --> 00:54:04,500
if you do not mention
when questioned

1130
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:06,820
something which
you later rely on in court.

1131
00:54:06,820 --> 00:54:10,020
Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

1132
00:54:10,020 --> 00:54:12,780
So me whole life
has been a lie.

1133
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:17,820
Hortense's love for you,

1134
00:54:17,820 --> 00:54:19,660
that was real.

1135
00:55:19,340 --> 00:55:20,860
EXHALES

1136
00:55:19,340 --> 00:55:20,860
Hey.

1137
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:26,140
Can I help you?

1138
00:55:27,940 --> 00:55:29,260
Mervin, yeah?

1139
00:55:30,260 --> 00:55:31,860
Yeah.

1140
00:55:31,860 --> 00:55:33,100
Didn't you hear me knock?

1141
00:55:33,100 --> 00:55:34,260
No.

1142
00:55:34,260 --> 00:55:37,460
I was sleeping, actually.
Deeply.

1143
00:55:37,460 --> 00:55:39,460
You're older than I imagined.

1144
00:55:39,460 --> 00:55:42,380
Uh, sorry, who are you?

1145
00:55:42,380 --> 00:55:43,780
Just one second.

1146
00:55:43,780 --> 00:55:46,660
Come on!
Just give it up, man!

1147
00:55:46,660 --> 00:55:48,860
PHONE BEEPS

1148
00:55:48,860 --> 00:55:50,220
Finally!

1149
00:55:50,220 --> 00:55:52,580
Stupid guy's
been holding out,

1150
00:55:52,580 --> 00:55:54,660
and all he's got
is a pair of sixes.

1151
00:55:55,780 --> 00:55:57,420
Amateur.

1152
00:55:57,420 --> 00:55:59,580
Is that a gambling app?

1153
00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:01,380
I don't think
you should be playing that.

1154
00:56:01,380 --> 00:56:04,460
Don't sweat it. It's cool.

1155
00:56:04,460 --> 00:56:06,100
Dad said
you were a goody-goody,

1156
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:08,580
but I guess that comes
with the job, right?

1157
00:56:08,580 --> 00:56:10,940
OK, stop, yeah?

1158
00:56:10,940 --> 00:56:13,140
Now, you tell me right now
who you are,

1159
00:56:13,140 --> 00:56:14,420
who your dad is,

1160
00:56:14,420 --> 00:56:16,180
and what you're doing
on my property,

1161
00:56:16,180 --> 00:56:17,780
or I'm arresting you
for trespass.

1162
00:56:17,780 --> 00:56:20,140
And you being a detective!

1163
00:56:20,140 --> 00:56:23,580
It's me, Eloise, your niece.

1164
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:28,020
- Sorry, what?
- Your niece, Eloise.

1165
00:56:29,300 --> 00:56:31,500
Did Dad not mention me to you?

1166
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:34,900
No, he... No-one mentioned you.

1167
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:40,420
Well, I'm sure he was going to.

1168
00:56:40,420 --> 00:56:43,460
He's a busy guy, you know.
A lot on his plate.

1169
00:56:46,780 --> 00:56:48,540
So...

1170
00:56:48,540 --> 00:56:50,860
..what would you prefer I call you?

1171
00:56:50,860 --> 00:56:52,860
Uncle Mervin?

1172
00:56:52,860 --> 00:56:54,220
Uncle Merv?

1173
00:56:55,180 --> 00:56:56,580
Just Merv?

1174
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:02,020
What's for breakfast?

1175
00:57:07,100 --> 00:57:08,780
SIGHS

1176
00:57:08,780 --> 00:57:10,180
Hey, don't touch anything!

1177
00:57:12,180 --> 00:57:13,420
{\an8}This is the closest I've come

1178
00:57:13,420 --> 00:57:15,420
{\an8}to actually seeing it -
the lusca.

1179
00:57:15,420 --> 00:57:17,140
{\an8}- Sorry, what?
- It's a sea monster.

1180
00:57:17,140 --> 00:57:19,420
Some people are saying
that's what killed him.

1181
00:57:19,420 --> 00:57:23,060
I would like to do my bit
to try and solve this case now.

1182
00:57:23,060 --> 00:57:25,700
We need to work out a plan,
Uncle Merv, to find evidence

1183
00:57:25,700 --> 00:57:27,180
that proves he's innocent.

1184
00:57:27,180 --> 00:57:28,260
I should just tell her
the truth.

1185
00:57:28,260 --> 00:57:31,780
Giles was convinced
the lusca took their son.

1186
00:57:31,780 --> 00:57:32,980
That's why he stayed on here,

1187
00:57:32,980 --> 00:57:35,700
to try and prove
the lusca exists.

1188
00:57:35,700 --> 00:57:37,700
I can't believe
we're going on a monster hunt!

1189
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:40,180
THUMPING

1190
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:40,180
The lusca?

1191
00:57:40,180 --> 00:57:41,460
Mattie!
