Thanks for watching!

I'd do that a little quicker.

Giles just called, and they're going to be here any second.

Madame, Simone, don't she drive?

Is she a nervous passenger?

No, she's just a terrifying driver.

My, that was fun.

Wasn't that fun, Giles?

So much fun, Melanie.

Madam, how wonderful to see you. Thank you, Beth.

Oh, finally.

I'm home.

How was the flight from Paris?

Too many people, not enough champagne, other than that.

Giles!

Guard this with your life, as ever.

Always, madam.

It's a pleasure, madam.

Well, aren't you a picture.

It is.

I

look

forward to it.

I decided to travel light this time, although I do confess...

with adding another caftan to my collection. It was of just darling ones

they had bought in Paris.

I just had to buy one.

One? Three.

You know me far too well.

Your leadership seems to like me.

I had it easily turned.

You're not happy to see me, Giles, are you?

What do you think?

Beth tells me you have many houses. So where is home when you're not here?

Winter is always spent in London.

Marylebone, where I live, is an utter delight on a crisp December day.

Paris in the spring is de rigueur.

with its tree -filled jardin and pretty little pavement cafes.

Autumn is New York.

I mean, there's just nothing like the big apple in the fall.

But in the summer, my heart lies here in Aegina.

And this is where I will paint you!

When you're not occupied with your other work, I presume that Beth

has still doing on that.

Giles was my late husband's right hand in hand years before he became violent.

I've always assumed him completely loyal, but as you must be aware, working

the gallery, my paintings have been in demand by

private collectors worldwide for years.

And now he tells me that people won't pay what they're worth. Now that's

simply... It cannot be true.

It pains me to say this, but I think that Giles has been taking a cut of the

from the sales.

I mean, after 30 years of loyal service, I mean, if he wanted the money, I'd

give it to him.

Now, Beth has told you what you need to do.

Just to keep my eyes and ears open.

But you mustn't be caught.

Do you understand?

You must be couvert.

I can't risk finding out.

And now, I must get into that water, and I demand that you come with me.

I'm sorry about what I said about your mum.

The two of you can have next weekend together, when things are quieter.

Yeah, I get it.

I'll see you later. I'm going to be late. I did a good thing, yeah?

Moving you to this school?

Yeah, you did a good thing, Dad.

I love it.

You do?

Yeah, I do.

Great. Remember to tell your mom that, huh?

Like I said, this will be easy money.

Well, I mustn't keep Madame waiting, right?

Meet you back here later?

I may be busy.

I'm not one to be trifled with.

Well, I guess that makes two of us, huh?

What the hell's going on, Oliver?

You received my message, then I take it.

This is ridiculous.

I was told I had a ten -day window to swap the damn thing. And now you're

telling me I only have two days.

When you were in Paris, that would have been the case. But now you're in Greece.

The product's traveling through Greece. So instead of you receiving it next

week, you'll be receiving it by tomorrow.

Our associates are expecting you in Athens tomorrow night with the goods.

I can't just swipe the damn thing. There is an element of subterfuge.

I need to find the right moment.

That, Giles, is your problem.

I need more time.

Well, you don't have it.

Hey.

You.

I don't know what you think you're playing at, young man.

I'm just earning some extra money.

I mean, who could say no to an offer of being a painter's muse, huh?

If you say anything to Her Ladyship about our little muse, I... What?

What? You will do what?

I would have thought my monthly payments on top of your gallery wages would have

been sufficient. You are putting us both at risk by being here.

I get to lie by a pool on a beautiful villa.

For a few days without doing anything. And I'm also getting paid for it.

Don't worry.

I won't change our arrangement.

Very well.

A leadership requires more blank canvases.

And since you're here and not at the gallery, there's a new batch of

in the outhouse, along with the necessary curtains.

Be as quick as you can and don't get caught.

That's a shame.

I guess I will have to do that later, huh?

Get it done today.

On my way.

Oh, darling boy, come here.

Beth is bringing out some lemonade.

We've a marvellous array of guests for tonight's soiree, all falling over

themselves to meet you.

How jealous they are. Don't be of me.

You and I are going to get on like a house on fire. I just know it.

Now, I noticed that Charles went straight to the study when we came here.

you hear or see anything as you passed by?

No, nothing.

But I am sure I will.

Of course, I don't get too distracted.

How adorable.

Oh, I am lucky to have you as my eyes and ears.

And, of course, mannequin.

Yes, my lady.

I hate that title.

Makes me feel ancient.

I demand you call me Gloria.

Well, then, yes, Gloria.

Now, off with that shirt and ghost's wind.

Thalia, hi mum.

Came to the station to say hi.

Heading back to school soon.

Why is she skipping school?

To see you.

You ought to be flattered.

Morning. Where is she?

Thalia, in the bathroom.

I promised to tell her when her mother is here. She is in the lab with George.

Oh, um, Jude, um, you know the old girl from Regina?

Is she still here?

I did.

That's what I said.

Yes, she has not been charged and she will be released today, but she's in the

interview room waiting for her son to pick her up. Okay.

Okay, Duke, can I go and say hello to her?

I don't think Captain would like that. Oh, yeah, no.

Sorry, Shirley.

No, good as gold. Don't worry about it.

Well, you'd better go and warn Tia Mum's here. Yes.

I saw a video of your band playing online the other day. Really?

Yeah. It was pretty cool.

I mean, not my kind of stuff, but, you know, I'm young and you're... You were

going to say old, weren't you?

No.

I was going to say... Yeah, I was going to say old. But

your thing is all right.

Well, thank you very much. I will take pretty cool and all right. Here, have a

look at this.

Yeah, and that is... Yeah,

it's revolting. No, my dear, this is beautiful.

Then you've got a very weird taste.

Speaking of which, my mum, do you... Talia, your mother is here.

Is she mad?

You like my mum, don't you?

Yes, she's...

She's very nice.

Nice?

Warm,

yeah.

Not warm.

She's kind.

That's what she is. She's very kind. Yeah, she is.

She's very kind.

What about pretty?

What? Don't you think she's pretty?

Yeah. Yeah!

I knew it.

I give you permission to ask her out. Oh, you give me permissions?

Yeah. The daughter always gives permission, didn't you know that?

No, I didn't know that.

Thank you.

Thalia!

Thalia! Yeah, she's mad.

Thalia!

Can I be? Cheer me.

I hear you're being set free.

Don't you panic, this has been looking after you, I can tell.

Very good man, very good man.

And the self here?

Very nice. Very comfortable bed.

Best sleep I ever had and no cooking.

I wanted to ask you about Ari.

He's here?

No, he's not. He's still missing.

And Helen and I are trying to find him. We haven't managed to yet.

How did you know him?

At first he was...

He was just a man.

Spiros was buying seafood, lobster, crab, you know. And

then he became friend, good friend, my friend.

He helped me sometimes when Spiros got crazy.

When did he leave?

Spiros find that Ari was policeman before he got crazy.

He found me next day in the garden hiding.

He told me we must leave because Spiros knew dangerous men.

Me and my son make very, very small, like mouse, so nobody noticed us.

And then Ari left.

Did he say where he was going?

I look like him.

I'm very calm.

And you have his eyes.

Shirley,

I was just passing. I just thought I'd pop in very briefly.

Gloria sent me in for some lemonade.

You know, you don't need an excuse to come in here if you want to see me.

What is the lemonade?

In the fridge.

On the middle shelf.

With the champagne.

Are you worried about us being discovered?

Is that it?

I don't think it's going to be a problem.

We'll have to tell her at some point.

Tell you what?

That you and I are an item?

Are we?

You know, now that I am here, I was thinking that perhaps,

how do you say, that it's a bigger fish to fry.

She's old enough to be your grandmother.

I know.

Such a little time, but so many houses to hide in her will.

You don't have to worry.

I will tell her to give you one of them.

The smallest one, of course.

Now, you listen to me. You try whittling in, and I'll... You what?

Will you tell her that you hired me here for your own use rather than hers?

I don't think she's going to like this, will she?

She's known me since I was a child.

If you think she's going to choose you over me, you're mistaken.

You're just another pretty thing. And a disposable one.

For now.

How's the package you arrived here today attract to me?

No. Why?

Oh, because I'm expecting one.

Something important?

Kindly let me know when it arrives.

Mum, I... Ma, you cannot skip school, Thalia.

But, Mum, I saw your text and I miss you too.

Agapimo, OK. I can't wait for you to come home.

But first we have to convince your father that you're safe at home with me.

if you think that I'm encouraging you to skip school... But you didn't. OK,

let's get you back first and then, don't forget, next weekend you're with me.

And me. I'm staying too.

Oh, really?

Ha! I told her that.

Oh, I wanted to tell you, Dad says I can stay with you at the weekend and

discuss, OK?

You did?

Really? Oh, OK.

Has anyone come across a package?

Just some password things, nothing special. I just seem to have misplaced

Yes, I saw a bit with it in the kitchen.

You're sure?

Straight away, madam.

So I see you found your package.

Why will you keep it from me?

I didn't keep it from you.

I was looking after it.

Madam's news, for we know, could be a thief.

If you don't trust them, why did you hire him?

Giles, this was a joke.

You're very jumpy today.

Anything to do with that package?

I don't know.

What you're up to with that Christmas boy, but I can tell you, nothing good

come of it. I don't know what you mean.

What were you thinking?

Bringing someone here from the same place that we refresh the canvases?

Refresh? Is that what you call it?

Or do you mean protect the eyes of the world from those hideous efforts you

art? When Lord Whitten's souls passed away, he expressly asked me to... I keep

his wife's care at the center of my thoughts.

And I've been honored to do so.

Your mother felt the same way.

She was a good housekeeper, a good woman, unfailingly loyal to Gloria.

You, on the other hand... Is that it?

You resent me because I want more.

Perhaps I don't want to stick around for 30 years, hanging on the coattails of

someone else's life.

Charles, I'm sorry. That was... A little hot.

But you're right.

That is exactly what I have done.

And I've been proud to do so. Charles, I might be ambitious, but so is Christos

more than I realize.

Madame asked me to bring him here to watch you.

Me? She thinks you're stealing her painting proceeds.

Thank you.

And now he intends to seduce her.

Overbite that body.

Christoph, you must be starving. I know I am.

And Gloria, you haven't had a thing since breakfast.

Perhaps a little something.

Christoph. Would you mind awfully getting Beth to put together a tray of

sandwiches for us all?

Much appreciated, Christos.

Now might be the time to have that little dip you're so desperate for.

How do you know me so well?

What would I do without you?

You'll never have to.

I'd leave the necklace behind if I were you. You know how the salt water effect

jams down? Oh, heaven!

I completely forgot I had it on. Oh, that would never do, would it? Oh, no.

It's one of my favourites.

15th wedding anniversary.

20th, I believe.

It's about Eleni. What about Eleni?

She's been digging around.

She knows what he was accused of.

I told her it was all lies, which it is.

I don't want it to be true any more than you do, Alexa.

Oh, please. Don't give me that.

There was evidence.

No, there was no evidence. I recalled it myself, but you would not listen.

I didn't want to make you. You were too upset.

Oh, okay. So I will listen now. Prove it.

I destroyed it. I destroyed his confession before Eleni could find it.

It's up to you to tell her that he confessed before she found out another

I'm doing everything I can to make sure she does not go down the same route as

her father.

There's nothing I can do for you, Alexa.

Simo, Samata.

We are history.

Long gone and best forgotten. Do not take it out on my daughter.

What are you talking about?

You are punishing her. Punishing her? I'm protecting her. How?

By bullying her and making her do menial work.

So that's how you see it.

She told me you had her filing.

The more power Eleni gains, the more she becomes a target. Just like Ari.

These gangs need someone worth corrupting. Someone who could hide

witnesses vanish.

Vanish, eh? Like Ari?

Ari was not a witness.

Eleni found the case notes for Ari's arrest.

I destroyed the interview recordings.

But soon she will be asking questions.

She already is.

You know, I wonder if you did what you did so that you and I could, you know...

How could you say that, Alexa?

No matter what my feelings were for you, he was still a friend of mine. I loved

him.

I have to leave for the mainland tonight.

What are we for?

Some business affairs with your husband's estate have come up.

Can't they wait a few days?

I think it's best if I deal with it now.

I'll only be away for a day or two. What about my swearing?

I'm going to leave with the Fox Torbis after dinner.

They've chartered a boat.

I shall return them to Athens tonight. They have to fly off to Monaco in the

morning.

Kells the breeze.

Susan never can keep away from that casino for long. I don't know how Harold

coped. Do you believe her husband had the much better taste of his own to keep

him busy?

And hopefully he will be in the mood for buying some art.

Indeed.

Oh, Christoph, you are a marvel.

I just washed the grapes.

And I am very tempted to ask you to peel one for me. Oh, with pleasure.

Shall I?

No, I wanted Christoph to do the honours. Oh, well, I'm afraid Christoph

some errands to run for me.

And he needs to go ready for dinner tonight.

We can't have him smelling of seaweed.

Too true, Giles.

Our muse must look his best. And I have a beautiful silk shirt that you can

borrow.

Thank you, Gloria.

Oh, would you grab that for me, T?

You got a text from Robbie.

Oh, yeah? What's it say?

Night.

Well, man of few words. Trust me, the fact that he remembered is as romantic

it gets.

Anything else?

Got a little something flying your way.

Oh. Well, maybe he remembers more than I thought.

Remembers what?

It's my birthday this weekend.

Why didn't you say?

Yeah, well, you know, it's no biggie, and when you get to my age, definitely

not.

Looking for this?

Still very much for higher now, aren't we?

When we get married, I will tell her to stop with this painting nonsense.

How can she call this art?

Deluded old woman.

And I have to let her paint me.

She hardly knows him.

Thank

you

for joining me on my first night back for some good

wine and some delicious food.

And to Christos, who will inspire me and my art throughout the summer.

I am truly blessed.

Gloria, where's Giles?

Michalis and I were hoping he'd be dining with us tonight.

Giles is devastated that he can't partake, but he has some pressing

attend to before departing.

So, this is your first modeling job, is it? Out of this great book I'm in Paris.

I will try to convince Giles to join us for at least one drink.

Oh, please do.

Yes.

Did you finish covering the canvases?

Yes.

I understand that you have designs on Milady.

Designs? Beth tells me that you plan to seduce Gloria.

Well, she looks like fun.

What she looks like is rich.

But looks can be deceiving.

There's almost nothing left, so I suggest that you enjoy the pool for a

and the extra money and leave.

Well, I'm thinking about staying a little more and see how much she likes

In that case, you're fired.

I'm not going anywhere.

If you say one word,

I will tell Gloria that...

You were ordering me every summer to paint over her art. And that Beth hired

me for her own amusement.

I go, we all go.

What will it take to get rid of you?

One hundred thousand.

That is insane.

As insane as ordering somebody to destroy an employer's art?

And make him more cut over her passion.

I don't think she's going to like it.

If she finds out, right?

I'm going to Athens tonight. I will be back tomorrow morning. I can offer you

,000 and not a cent more.

50.

You bankrupt this household.

Either that or I propose Gloria.

And then you will have to call me.

How do you say?

My Lord.

Very well.

Fifty thousand it is. I will bring it back tomorrow and you will leave

immediately.

Thank you, Jai.

Don't you care less than me, you fraud.

This is my food, too, sir.

Now you've met my beautiful muse.

Does anybody fancy hanging him on their wall?

Oh, certainly.

She means in a painting, dear.

Come on, you two, no bickering.

Any luck with darling Giles?

Too much to do, he says.

Well, he's a very busy man.

I'm not surprised, considering how much he does for Gloria.

Doesn't he, Gloria? Doesn't he do so much for... Oh.

Dear.

Anna! Anna! Oh!

Whoopsie! Oh, whoopsie -daisy.

Um, would you get me a new napkin? As soon as I finish studying.

Never mind.

Christos will get me one, won't you, dear heart?

Your wish is my command.

How very fortunate.

I would like one of the purple ones.

Harry, don't you think it's time that you had a new painting for that yacht of

yours? The purple napkins are in the dryer, in the old house.

Well, Harold and I, oh, splendid, splendid, splendid.

Let's get some fizz to celebrate.

I'll get it.

Oh, dear.

Don't worry, madam. I'll clear it up.

Oh, you are a dear.

I'll get the fins.

The little night music always perks me up.

Lucky you, Harold. Another Lady W .S. original for your collection.

You've got to get the doing, because then she thinks...

I

think you're all being terribly mean.

She's done very well for herself.

Oh, yes.

Wasn't she a waitress before she landed the good Lord?

Look where she is now.

Cheers.

Hey.

I'd called a cab to the ferry port. I can't wait any longer for those two

in there.

I have to get back to Athens.

I'm sorry I brought Christos here.

Me too.

Oh, did I nod off?

I just closed my eyes for a second and... Oh, you won't tell anyone, will

Beth? I don't want anyone to think that I think them boring, even if I do.

Good girl.

Oh, now you'd better get that bubbly out to our guests.

Oh.

My Aunt Cheryl.

Okay. Good night.

Night.

Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

G'day, Alexa.

It's Cheryl.

I was just calling because I reckon that Helen could really do with a chat.

And if it makes any difference here, I reckon whatever they pinned on Ari back

then, he's innocent.

Anyway, night.

Cheers.

So big.

There you are. We thought you'd be with your muse.

God, no.

But the knight is so young.

And so is he.

Hey!

Hey!

We should have waited for a free taxi at the marina. It's going to be quite a

walk if we don't flag one down.

She'll be all right.

Talia said that there was a 30 -minute wait when she rang, and this is nothing

compared to what I do on the farm.

I walk out my gate and can't see a soul for miles.

Come on, rattle your dags.

Talia, where did you book? I thought we were staying at a resort.

No. I thought Aunty Shea would like a bit of rustic grease.

Oh, yeah, I'm good with that. Ah, Gina, I mean, it's as beautiful and warm as

ever. It's ashy now.

I'll get it eventually.

Well, it's not that hard.

I'd like to see you wrap your lips around a few kiwi names.

You try me.

Why Kakamuka?

Why Kakamuka?

Well, that was an easy one.

Well,

now you've just shown off.

Mum, what's George doing here?

Did you invite him?

Of course not.

George! What are you doing here?

Helen. Are you on hold too?

She means holidays.

I wish.

I was just taking in the view. Listen, there has been a suspicious death in one

of the villas on the north side.

You're joking.

Not my business.

Remember, we're on holiday.

Just out of curiosity, who is the DI working on it?

Hara Lambidi.

Oh, right.

So, George, would you mind filling me in while we're waiting?

Yeah, sure. But, you know, my car is over there.

Why don't I take you back to where you have to go, and I'll fill you in.

Yeah, great.

So, George, why isn't DI Haralabidis with you?

Well, we were meant to come across together, but his wife went into labor

we were waiting for the courier to pick us up at PDS.

He'll be over in a few hours. You know they detained two suspects at the villa

where the body was found. Two?

Yes, both are employees of the villa's owner.

One was stopped last night by an officer, a child, Jaudry.

He was carrying a necklace on his way to the ferry in a briefcase worth

thousands. Now, he admitted to theft, but he said he had nothing to do with

death. And he swore the deceased was alive when he left.

So they decided to detain the housekeeper as well.

Listen, I was thinking, when we go now, can I stop one or two minutes? I want to

speak to the police officer, explain about Haralambidis. And then I promise

I take you back to your hotel.

George, why don't they send the two suspects across to Piraeus? Or at least

them in? I mean, I assume the villa is not that secure.

Yeah, but your hotel is the only thing nearby. There's nothing else.

And there's a team there now watching them?

When you say a team, there's only three policemen on the whole island.

And there's no cells, only one room. And that is at the Port Authority office.

That's why we've had to detain the suspects at the villa.

Well, that's not ideal, is it?

So the other suspect, is it a man or a woman?

It is a woman, the housekeeper. Ah, then she did it. The butlers always do it.

And the man?

The butler. Ah, well then he did it. Case closed.

Hi, Yaya.

Where have you all gone?

Mum tried to call you. We went away for Auntie Cheryl's birthday.

Well, where are you now?

A hotel in Aegina.

Oh! You're telling me that you, your mother and Shirley are in Aegina?

Yes. Oh, I see.

So when it's your new auntie's birthday, you take her away for the weekend.

But it's when it's my birthday, you buy me a bar of soap.

It was good soap.

Talia.

Yaya, I'm sorry.

We tried to call you, but you didn't answer the phone.

I... I had things to do.

Anyway, um... Tell your auntie Shirley happy birthday and, uh... Thank you for

the message.

Okay. Love you.

Oh, Alexa.

Oh! I thought it might be you.

It's just... nothing.

Oh, hello, eh, eh, lady with her cinema.

It's Whitten's film.

Whitten? Whitten.

Just call me Gloria.

I can't bear hearing any more unflattering versions of my name.

I'm just going to go and check the... And you are Detective Eleni Moustakas?

you mind if I don't have just painted my nails?

Beth, my housekeeper, normally does it for me, but she's indisposed.

Not that it comes as an astounding surprise, that.

I mean, her betrayal, I mean.

I only gave Beth the job.

in thanks for her mother's loyal service.

But child, that is a knife to the heart.

If my husband were alive today, he would beat him.

Or blubber, one of the two.

Probably both.

Oh, you must forgive me, detective.

I don't seem to quite be able to get over the shock.

Of the young man's death.

Oh, heavens, that too.

Did you know the deceased well?

No.

I only met him yesterday.

Beautiful physique.

I mean, person.

Oh, what a waste.

Are you interviewing me? Is this an interview? Do I need a lawyer?

The two young policemen said that I wasn't a suspect.

Am I a suspect?

I really don't know. Until a case is solved, everyone is a suspect, Lady

Whitten's own.

Ah, you got my name right.

You're the clever one, I see.

Mum?

And you brought your daughter to an investigation. Now, that is very

progressive. And I see you've got your swimming knickers on.

Well, help yourself to lemonade and do take a dip. Feel free.

Ah! Are we swimming?

Uh, no.

Thanks. We're not.

Aren't you with the forensic team?

Oh, yeah, nah. I'm her sister.

I don't think I will ever understand Greek culture. Well, by all means,

feel free.

No, this won't be necessary.

Oh, come on. You said yourself there's no pool at the hotel.

We're not staying, aren't you?

Aren't we?

Tell her, Mom.

Well, um, we're going to go in a minute. I just need to go inside and check that

everything is fine and... Oh, they're all fine in there.

No, no, no. I am the wounded party.

I mean, not technically, given that there's a dead body in my outhouse, but

essentially, I am the wounded one.

Uh, so where do you keep the suspects?

Beth is in her room.

and Jonathan's study, and there's an officer with each of them.

One of whom had the nerve to ask me to fetch them all food and water if I was

starved.

Well, it's a very hot day, so I'm sure the officers would be most grateful.

Yes, you're probably right.

Gosh, would you hold that? Yes, of course.

Oh,

thank you.

Oh, wow.

This is Myrtle.

Looks like it's you and me again, Kit.

Beth hired Christos to be my muse, or so I thought.

I'm an artist, you see, and so I hire a muse every summer when I haven't got

one. Myrtle steps in.

How long had you been in a relationship with Christos the deceased?

I wasn't. Not according to Lady Wittensohn's? It was a brief encounter.

Is this why you got him the job? Did you hope for it to continue?

Madame needed a muse.

I knew him from the art gallery in the village, so it was convenient.

His modelling to her or his relationship with you?

Both. Regarding Beth hiring the diseased one,

You said, or so I thought.

What does that mean?

Beth only hired Christophe in the hopes of continuing some dalliance with him.

An affair?

Given the nature of your relationship with him, you don't seem very upset.

I'm just confused about it. He told me he intended to seduce

Madame for her money.

And you didn't tell her of his intentions?

Well, there was no time.

You believe Giles also betrayed you?

He stole from me.

My beautiful necklace.

Well, more than 50 ,000 euros.

Why would he do that?

Well, when they caught him last night, he whimpered something about

having done it for me.

I mean, how could replacing my real jewels for fake possibly benefit me?

This is the third time I've done this.

My late employer was a ferocious gambler, something he kept carefully

wife. By the time Lord Whitten's sons died, there was very little left of the

estate beyond the equity sunk into the couple's four residences. And soon...

One of those will have to go.

For now, liquidating glorious less concrete assets was the best,

least upsetting thing I could do to keep things afloat.

And Lady Wittensholm knew none of this?

A ladyship has never really concerned itself with the fiscal elements of

such an existence.

His Lordship expressly asked me to keep it that way after he died, and I have

fulfilled his wishes.

Her Ladyship believes, believed, that the proceeds from her

ghastly paintings funded her entire date.

Ghastly?

That's a bit harsh.

But fair.

Giles? went into all that trouble of making a fake necklace just to steal the

real one.

Lady Whittlesome, I think you should have all your jewelry valued.

It's not the first time he does this.

I made rather a good joke of this, Dale.

These thefts are in fact missions of mercy.

Well, I take no pleasure in deceiving you. Thieving the woman, it has been my

duty to serve for nine hundred three decades.

It was not an undertaking I took lightly, but as I have said, it was not

undertaking at all, but her husband's. He directed me before he died to a fence

in London, with whom he'd already been doing exactly the same thing. In his

absence, the task now sadly falls to me.

He would have loved it.

If you called him butler.

Giles is my personal secretary. He's been with the family for years.

He dealt with all my husband's affairs.

And then, when my husband died, mine.

So, how could he do this to me?

And you haven't taken a cut?

Cut?

No, no, no.

Cut, as you call it.

I have paid my wages, which have risen in line with inflation, and

no more.

How very honorable.

Listen, detective, I have spent my life in service, improving

the lives of others. I have very little else to my name but honor.

So these dinner parties, does your employer hold them often?

She thinks they will help sell her painting. Not that it ever does.

People come, eat the free food, drink her champagne, and go.

What do you do with the paintings Lady Whittensome thinks she has sold?

I take them here to the director of a gallery who has the paintings

whitewashed. before discreetly giving them back for Gloria to reuse.

Did you leave the kitchen at any point whilst preparing dessert?

I came from the kitchen onto the patio.

Ask any of the guests, they all saw me.

Madame had made a mess, so I spent a lot of time clearing it up.

Are you sure you...

Didn't go anywhere else last night other than the patty on the kitchen.

I would strongly suggest you lay your cards on the table now, Miss Daudian.

Well, I went to find Giles, and we spoke outside the villa briefly.

And then I came to the kitchen where I find Madame asleep.

Asleep? She does that sometimes.

She says it's narcolepsy, but I think it's a little bit too much, too.

So then I shook her to wake her up. Well, she'll tell you about it.

Witnesses say that you were missing before Christos was discovered.

To the best of your knowledge, Mr. Chowdhury, is there anything in that

that could implicate you in the murder?

Nothing at all.

What did you and Giles discuss? I apologize.

For bringing Christos into the house.

And warned him that he was after Madame.

You must have felt really foolish being deceived by Christos in that way.

Foolish? Yes.

But you don't kill someone because they make you feel foolish.

What about angry?

I wasn't angry.

I was... hurt.

I knew he wasn't going to last or anything. I was under no illusions,

Well, you saw him.

He was handsome.

Hello there.

Any signs of what killed him?

Well, at the moment I can only take photos and...

I can't touch the body too much, but when Haralambidis comes, I will be able

do more.

But I can see his complexion is red.

And for this, there could be many causes. And also, I see he has these,

small white spots of paint on his arms.

White paint?

Like he's been decorating or something.

Okay. Any suspicious items?

You're on the case now.

George, I don't need your lecture now.

I'm not giving you a lecture.

You two having a tiff?

No, we're not having a tiff. What is a tiff? Apparently something you're not

having. Jeez, he doesn't look too hot.

Shelley, you can't be in here, OK?

How did he go?

Well, we don't know yet.

I mean, why didn't he just come out and tell people he was feeling a bit crock?

Because the door was locked from the outside and there was no key on the

When did you say her diabetes was coming?

Well, he called me. His wife's labour is dragging on a bit, but... He should be

here in a few hours.

There needs to be a senior investigating officer on the scene before George can

proceed any further.

In a murder investigation, every minute counts.

And in this heat, I need to take samples because just in case... Yeah, it is

getting a bit wiffy.

So you're on the case now?

No.

Um, couple of hours, you said?

Well, we are just waiting for the baby to come.

How many kids did his missus had?

I don't know.

Three, I think. Maybe. Why?

No worries. I mean, by my third, I was shooting them out like a cannon. So we

should be out of here by dinner.

So we have a senior investigating officer?

You have an investigator officer for now.

Hi, Shirley.

Hiya.

How's Talia? All good?

All good.

Giving her the villa's Wi -Fi code.

Oh, well, she must be happy as a clam, then.

What are you doing?

I'm making Lady S a semi.

A what?

A semi.

A sandwich.

Well, Shirley, you can't be running around touching things. It's a crime

remember? Yeah, but I just wanted to make a... Ah!

Oh, yeah. That thing belongs to Lady Withinsomes.

Why has she got a dummy in her kitchen?

Her name is Myrtle.

Her ladyship says that dummies sound so impersonal. Just a lack of faith.

Do you normally keep Myrtle in the kitchen?

No, Beth usually keeps it in one of the guest bedrooms if her ladyship isn't

using it.

I would, but I don't have the keys.

Anything. You know, the guest bedrooms are all locked up in our absence to tear

the closet.

So you and her ladyship don't have a set of keys?

Heavens no.

That's what a housekeeper is for.

Mr. Chowdhury, I think I should accompany you back to your room.

Pardon,

Pano.

Hi,

Dad.

Uh, no, we're not at the hotel yet.

We had to stop nearby.

No, not the beach.

Long story, we're actually at a crime scene right now.

I suppose, um, uh, there, there,

there would be fine.

Oh, that's nice.

Do you like them?

Yeah, I mean, it's really cute you've hung your grandkids' drawings on the

I don't have any grandchildren.

Oh, these are yours.

Whose else would they be?

Well, you know, they're very bright, and it looks like you tried really hard.

Right, let me go trim this bush of yours.

Lady Wittenstone, can I ask you a question about last night?

I am here to help, Detective.

Is it true you fell asleep in the kitchen and were woken by Miss Gaudian?

Me?

Fall asleep during my soiree? How absurd.

What do you think I am?

Some old bluff?

Are you saying that... Oh, excuse me.

I must go and advise your sister on the correct shaping of my topiary.

So how's that then?

Yes. I like a tidy roof.

What on earth is that?

Oh, it's a birthday present from my husband.

Oh,

he must be really missing me. If my husband had sent me a present like that,

have sent it back.

Were they?

Oh, Kiwi delicacy.

Pineapple lumps.

No, thank you.

What's he doing?

Oh, it's a little joke that we've got. He's washing his socks.

Romantic?

Mind you, that is a very good model of machine you've got there.

Getting on a bit by the look of things, but don't you worry. There's a lot of

years in these, mate.

Just watch out for the fan belt.

That'll be the first thing to go.

There's no need to look so surprised.

Before I married my darling Witty.

I worked in a laundromat.

That's where I met him.

Our eyes locked as I passed him an immaculately clean smoking jug.

Right -o.

Unexpected.

Hey, Talia. Do you want to chuck this around?

Yeah.

Can you tell me why there are whitewashed canvases in the outhouse?

Well, there are... Canvases everywhere.

For milady, should she ever feel the urge.

They are freshly painted. The painting pot and rollers are sitting right beside

them. Like I said, Christos was an assistant at the gallery. It was his job

paint over her work. Please, don't tell her ladyship.

It will break her heart.

So you asked Christos to paint them here at the villa? Wasn't that risky?

I had no choice.

He turned up.

My ladyship wanted him to model for her today, so I had to get him to do the job

I hired him for, otherwise there would be no canvases for her to paint.

What I did not employ him to do was to win her affections and wheedle his way

onto her will. I imagine that must have made you very angry.

Listen, detective, I may be a thief of sorts.

But I am not a murderer.

Right.

Pardon. Pano.

Excuse me.

Hi, George.

Any signs of Haralambidis?

No. Not a word.

He hasn't answered his phone all afternoon.

Okay. I'll check with the hospital. Maybe he's there. If not, I'm sure he's

his way.

Thank you, George. So tell me, what did you find?

Well, given the redness of his complexion, I tested the blood for

carboxyhemoglobin. Sure enough, there was high amounts of it in his system.

Well, George, I'm a detective, not a scientist.

He died of monoxide poisoning, Helen.

Are you sure?

There's no gas burners or boilers in that room.

I know, but Helen... Yes?

I'm a scientist, not a detective.

Oh, Lady S isn't going to be happy about this.

Where do they hang their stuff out to dry?

Oops. Oh, maybe now he's moved out I can put it in the dryer.

I'll go and ask H.

Hey, listen.

He and I were playing around with a rugby ball and then I accidentally threw

and it kind of splashed. Only you could bring a rugby ball to Greece.

Oh, I didn't. It was in the parcel, along with this photo.

And get this.

Lady S complimented me on my choice of machine. She used to work in a

and apparently that's a good one. Which brings me on to this.

Lady S's caftan, which got splashed and got really wet. Can I put it in the

dryer?

Shirley, you know what? I really need to go up there and interview this suspect.

I'll take that as a yes.

Oh, Jolly Coon.

Do you know, you are quite divine.

I am?

Those cheekbones, the way they flow into your hairline. Those

eyes.

You have your mother's eyes.

Your father must be very handsome.

Come with me. I'd like to paint you. I didn't think... I will pay you. I pay

my models.

Let's get you settled in the right lot.

I understand you speak some English?

Yes, sir. He admitted to being invited to become part of Papadopoulos' ring,

and he won't say anything else.

Year after year, decade after decade, it is still the same.

The power this man has over the people of Athens, over us.

It's such a shame.

This young man was on his way to being a good officer.

And to lose it for what?

A bit of money?

Many would not dare to say no to him.

That much I know.

Many a good police officer has been caught in his web.

And once you are in, it is hard to get out.

Goodbye, Captain.

Yes, sir.

So, Beth, you admit you knew that Christos was hired by Giles to paint

Wittensome's canvases and that he was doing so in the outhouse?

Just because I knew where he was doesn't mean I killed him. Where are the house

keys kept?

The drawer.

No, no, you can't touch anything. I'll have to do it.

Is this the only set?

No, the other set is in the kitchen.

Well, Beth, we know about those.

They're already been sent for fingerprints.

There were no keys missing from that set.

I don't understand.

Lady F complimented me on my choice of machine. She used to work in a

laundromat.

Do you recall the make of the washing machine?

I have the warranty manual in there.

Can I? Yes, yes, you can.

Ella, Helen.

Hey, George, can you look up for me a model, a washing machine?

Okay. It's linked to the case. So, it's RECO 17800.

Okay, let me have a look.

RECO 17800.

About five years old, powered by electricity.

by electricity, unless you choose the gas option, 10 years guarantee.

Hang on. What did you just say about the electricity and gas?

Well, if you take the dryer, it can be powered by electricity or gas.

Ms. Karian, is your dryer powered by electricity or gas? The gas option was

Madam's preference.

Sorry I kept you waiting.

I couldn't find my fan brush.

Thalia, can you give us a moment?

We will have to search your room later, Wittensomes.

Do do that.

Oh.

Follow me.

Can you tell me what you were wearing last night?

How come you have two of those?

I like to have several of each pattern, you know. Were you wearing something

else? Underwear and my evening gloves.

What of a kind?

Okay. Um, I think we're done here. We can go downstairs.

Looks like it's you and me again, kid.

There is evidence that indicates that Christos' death was not accidental.

One of you is a culprit.

Christos knew secrets of both you, Mr. Caldry, as well as you, Miss Guardian,

that would have cost you your livelihood, even put you in prison.

However, you, Lady Wittensomes, are also a suspect.

All three of you would have known where the house keys were kept and that the

dryer in the outhouse was powered by gas, the same gas that caused monoxide

poisoning, killing Christos, after you deliberately locked him in.

But it couldn't have been me.

I was asleep.

Beth woke me.

Yes, that's true, I did.

But you weren't asleep.

In fact, it wasn't you at all.

On the kitchen table. It was maple.

Oh. Myrtle?

Myrtle dressed in the same identical set of quality clothes.

Voila!

You hid the dummy in the pantry wearing the same set of clothes, knowing that

Miss Gaudian would be too busy serving guests and clearing up the mess you

Would you get me a new napkin? As soon as I finish serving.

Face down, the dummy looked just like you, fast asleep.

Having orchestrated a reason during dinner for Christos to go to the

Christos will get me one, won't you, dear heart?

Your wish is my command.

Earlier that day, you took the outhouse key from Beth's room and set a timer and

a child lock that no one else but you would know how to open.

You locked him in, knowing full well he would not live there alive.

And

you

came back to the table without being seen.

I am confident that after you left your gloves on, Myrtle, the outhouse key you

took from Beth's bedroom drawer would have your fingerprint on it. This is

completely ridiculous.

Do you have the key?

Crystal.

My colleague found it in the bushes not far away from the outhouse.

You could have hoped that it remained unnoticed there until you could retrieve

it and return it.

Lady Wittensohms, can you stand up for me, please?

I'm arresting you on the suspicion for the murder of ridiculous... Your

ladyship, no.

Madame!

Madame, why?

Can she call this art?

Deluded old woman.

And I have to let her paint me.

My

work

lies in the finest houses in Europe.

The blood, the sweat, my creative hearty.

Stabbed it.

Stabbed it.

The artistic imbecile, just like your sister.

Insulting me.

Insulting me and equating my work with the daubs of a child.

I showed her.

She wanted to dry the castan.

Oh, I said the washing would be the ruddy death of me.

None of you know what

art is.

None of you.

Yeah, well, I know what it isn't.

Are you sure you're okay?

Oh, yeah. Had a nap now. Good to go.

It's still your birthday? Just about.

What do you want to do?

Well, you know, it's never too late for a barbie. Hey.

And do you guys reckon I'd look good in a caftan?

No.

Oh.
