491 00:51:52,310 --> 00:51:55,780 So a couple of letters go out, one to get you into this office 492 00:51:55,950 --> 00:51:58,942 to check out those rigged statements about your daughter, 493 00:51:59,110 --> 00:52:04,184 the other to a hungry press photographer who'll make the most of whatever she sees 494 00:52:04,350 --> 00:52:08,741 from that stairwell in the building opposite. 495 00:52:10,990 --> 00:52:13,140 What did she see?

501 00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:45,544 Who's gonna move a bit of gum or a potted plant around after you'd left the room, and why? 502 00:52:46,390 --> 00:52:48,858 Unless, of course, they didn't. 503 00:52:49,390 --> 00:52:52,780 And the gum was found exactly where you threw it. 504 00:52:54,070 --> 00:52:59,747 In a plant pot in the corner, only not the corner we were thinking of... 505 00:53:00,590 --> 00:53:05,345 the whole objective here being to place you at the scene of a murder 506 00:53:05,510 --> 00:53:07,865 without you realising it. 507 00:53:12,510 --> 00:53:17,265 Let's say the deed's been done an hour or so beforehand. 508 00:53:27,310 --> 00:53:33,340 Then, crucially, a thin partition goes up to screen off the body. 509 00:53:33,950 --> 00:53:38,023 Decorators have already been planted there tarting up the premises, 510 00:53:38,190 --> 00:53:42,980 so a few bits of plasterboard knocking about aren't going to attract much attention. 511 00:53:44,070 --> 00:53:47,904 Vital, of course, for you to be discovered at just the right moment, 512 00:53:48,070 --> 00:53:52,666 which would be down to that security officer she had to wait around for on the stairs. 513 00:54:00,390 --> 00:54:03,541 All you see when you walk in is an empty room, 514 00:54:03,750 --> 00:54:07,982 but to Hattie and her camera, the scene appears quite different. 515 00:54:13,750 --> 00:54:17,379 For a bit of dressing, they re-hang a few pictures. 516 00:54:18,070 --> 00:54:21,699 A not very flattering cartoon about the police 517 00:54:21,910 --> 00:54:25,220 I imagine caused that sneer just before you left the room. 518 00:54:30,670 --> 00:54:33,309 They made it all good again afterwards. 519 00:54:35,670 --> 00:54:39,663 Apart from a few tell-tale holes where they had braced the panels. 520 00:54:43,110 --> 00:54:48,423 Of course, the irony here is if we'd had a clearer take on the fundamentals in your life... 521 00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:52,865 we'd have seen how really unlikely these charges were. 522 00:54:55,750 --> 00:55:00,744 A tiny trigger point this morning which, looking back, was probably quite significant. 523 00:55:00,910 --> 00:55:03,424 So the killer comes in, strings her up, 524 00:55:03,590 --> 00:55:08,061 wearing an Inspector Fell mask from the local joke shop.

This is possibly the most revolting thing I've ever seen. 545 00:57:31,390 --> 00:57:36,305 This is what you spent the last three nights glued to after supper? 546 00:57:36,510 --> 00:57:41,630 It's not "Fantastic Voyage". What did you expect? Donald Pleasance? 547 00:57:41,830 --> 00:57:44,742 I think they lowered in a cable, didn't they? 548 00:57:45,750 --> 00:57:47,149 There you go, then. 549 00:57:47,310 --> 00:57:51,906 Basic mechanics of the Marion Crespo thing, and I've scribbled a couple of diagrams there. 550 00:57:52,790 --> 00:57:58,626 Thanks.
