00:00James didn't just vanish. He left breadcrumbs, coded messages, a puzzle.
00:06I didn't want to see D.I. Neville transferred any more than you did.
00:09But after all that Sinclair business, there was no other option.
00:13I'm looking for Matt Neville. He lives here?
00:15He did. Moved out a month ago.
00:17The first page has been torn out.
00:18Sinclair.
00:19Look at the bottom.
00:20Sieg ah.
00:22Roger Sinclair disturbed a burglar who then killed him in a panic of self-preservation.
00:27Something's changed.
00:28There's even an arrest.
00:29And look who signed off this one.
00:31D.C.I. Taylor?
00:32Yeah.
00:34Shh.
00:36Can you hear that?
00:39Woo!
00:40The acoustics in here are wonderful.
00:43Do we have any opera singers amongst us that maybe want to try hitting the high note?
00:50Right, come on. This way.
00:52The actual date of construction is unknown of course.
00:55It's not called the Dark Ages for no reason.
00:57Speaking of which, why is this curtain closed?
01:00Okay, you're going to love this next bit.
01:02Nobody knows if it's an architectural fluke or God's own design,
01:06but every afternoon the sun hits the stained glass windows hidden behind those curtains
01:11and this entire place is treated to a light show that would put a disco to shame.
01:27Ah!
01:57Ah!
02:25Do you know who she was?
02:26Yes, sir.
02:27Megan Rowlands, 21, American, post-grad, also the morning tour guide.
02:32Really?
02:33Yeah.
02:34Then where's her group?
02:35Presumably she had a group. Where are they?
02:37Did they just leave without their tour guide?
02:38Oh, chief!
02:39I actually think that is exactly what they did.
02:42They were on two walking tours a day, full circle of Cambridge,
02:46always starting in the square and ending here.
02:49This is basically the last stop.
02:51They're given some spiel about the history of the place,
02:54then basically left to wander and leave of their own accord.
02:57Well, then she must have had to come back for some reason.
03:00Forgotten something? Her bag, maybe?
03:02She had it on her when she died.
03:05I mean, obviously it didn't happen whilst they were still here,
03:08otherwise someone would have seen you.
03:10Perhaps.
03:11Perhaps not.
03:13Sir?
03:15Well, whatever they witnessed,
03:17they were the last people to see her alive
03:19and we have no idea who they are or how to find them.
03:23Actually, chief, they had to fill in their email addresses
03:26when they bought the tickets, so...
03:29God bless mail-less marketing.
03:38All I'm saying is maybe we should, you know, keep an open mind here.
03:41What's happening now?
03:43You fill him in, I'll go do some more digging.
03:48Fill me in on what?
03:50He thought it would be a good idea to employ a member of Gen Z
03:53to do a deep dive on this Roger Sinclair chap.
03:56I'd now rather wish that I hadn't.
03:58Sinclair was a conspiracy theorist and a pretty batty one at that.
04:01Of course, you can imagine how Henry's taken this.
04:03He's now got his father single-handedly fighting the Illuminati.
04:07I highly doubt he believes that.
04:09Really? Makes his father the hero.
04:13Isn't that what every boy wants?
04:20How was your day?
04:22Someone murdered a tour guide in a church.
04:25Yes, no, sorry, I meant how was your day in terms of our investigation?
04:29Right, yes, sorry.
04:30Well, I've actually been looking over the original crime scene report again
04:33and everything about it seems...
04:35No, John, you've read that over and over again.
04:37What you were supposed to do today is get closer to D.I. Carter.
04:40I really wish you'd stop phrasing it like that.
04:42Sounds like I'm supposed to go camping with him or something.
04:45Look, I tried, OK? I did exactly what you said.
04:48I found my moment and attempted some non-work-related casual conversation with him.
04:56No phone. Given her age and occupation, that's a bit strange.
05:00Holly, do you think you could get her...
05:02Already found her. She's got an active phone contract.
05:04Ooh, we should grab food whilst we can.
05:06Oh, yes, together. Good idea. Let's do that.
05:10Let's grab food.
05:13Do you follow football at all?
05:17Not at all.
05:21And apparently he does.
05:23Liverpool FC. He's a season ticket holder.
05:26What?
05:27John, this Russell character magically appeared at the exact same time as James vanished.
05:32He's taking personal calls from Chief Constable Ziegler,
05:34the one person that we do know is involved in all this.
05:36Then he lies to you about it.
05:38Despite all that, we know nothing about him.
05:39I'm sorry, but supporting Liverpool does not quite cut it.
05:42You'll be asking him what his favourite colour is next.
05:44It's probably red.
05:45No, John, it doesn't matter. It doesn't help us.
05:47Look, what we need is personal information. Who he is.
05:51Where did he come from? What's his connection to Ziegler?
05:53I mean, you spent eight hours a day with him.
05:55You need to tease out some kind of backstory.
05:57I mean, you're the one that's supposed to be ingenious around here.
06:00Two points above, actually.
06:02But I find that never helps when it comes to chatting.
06:07Couldn't you do a high dive on him?
06:10I tried that.
06:11It turns out he's got even less of an online presence than...
06:15well, you.
06:17I have been looking into their supposed burglar,
06:20this guy they arrested, Reesbo,
06:22and he lives with his mother up on Hayward Rise.
06:25Actually, she's started a crowd funder for his appeal.
06:29See?
06:31£10? That's not going to be anywhere near enough.
06:34Now, listen, and don't say no, OK?
06:37I'm not committing to that, and I don't know what you're going to say.
06:40Well, does it matter? I've told you not to, so you can't now.
06:43I really don't think that's legally enforceable.
06:45I'm going to go and visit her tomorrow.
06:47It's fine. It's fine. I've planned it all.
06:49I'm going to say that I am a local journalist covering her story.
06:53She might arrange for me to meet her son.
06:56What? In prison?
06:58No, I thought they might let him out on a day release
07:00and I could see him in a local Costa.
07:02Yes, in prison.
07:04It's no more dangerous than what you're doing.
07:06Yes, but it doesn't matter what happens to me.
07:08Of course it does.
07:10Not as much.
07:12That's very sweet, John. Thank you.
07:19I'm still going, though.
07:21What if I said more reasons why you shouldn't go?
07:23I'd probably tell you that I'm not discussing it any further.
07:26That does sound like something you'd say.
07:29Pity, because I had some really good ones.
07:38Go for it.
07:48Go for it.
07:53There's sugar in it.
07:55Yeah, there is.
07:57Which, as you know, is exactly how I like it.
08:00Cheers.
08:04Good news, Gov. Every single one of the tour group replied overnight.
08:07Names, addresses, everything.
08:09Oh, I was hoping one of them wouldn't,
08:11because that would have meant they were probably the killer.
08:13Right, well, in that case, bad news, Gov.
08:15We've identified all the suspects.
08:17Mr and Mrs Tate live locally. Tour was an anniversary.
08:19Surprise, apparently. And they say romance is dead.
08:22Miles North and Yuna Chen, they're roommates and students.
08:25They live near the college.
08:27And these three ladies here are actually mother, daughter and granddaughter.
08:30They're over here from France.
08:32Um, sorry.
08:35Morning. I'm going to be quick.
08:37We're cribbing officers from every department.
08:39I need three from you.
08:41The best you've got, we're putting together an emergency task force.
08:43For what, ma'am?
08:45To find the missing son of a millionaire.
08:47Oh, a kidnapping?
08:49I wouldn't have thought so, Sergeant Finch.
08:51The individual in question is Jordan Halshaw.
08:54Oh, sorry to disappoint.
08:56Oh, no, no, no, I wasn't. I've never...
08:59Oh, she's just always wanted to do a kidnapping.
09:02Investigate one, I mean.
09:04Sorry, who exactly is Jordan Halshaw?
09:09DCI Taylor, would you like to fill in our new DI on the Halshaws of Cambridge?
09:13Oh, of course, yes.
09:15Well, um...
09:17There.
09:19Perhaps Councillor Evans would like the honour.
09:22Oh, sure, thanks.
09:24Well, he's Cameron Halshaw's son.
09:27Cameron Halshaw Developments. You've probably seen the signs everywhere.
09:30Halshaw Junior is a walking liability.
09:32He's in and out of rehab, smashing up sports cars
09:35and often picked up with bags of cash he has no explanation for
09:38nor any particular concern about being found with.
09:44And his father has influential friends.
09:47Three officers, no complaining.
09:50This is a church murder from yesterday.
09:52Talk me through it.
09:56Who, me?
09:58I'm led to believe that you've been performing miracles recently, DCI Taylor.
10:02I'm certainly keen to witness it.
10:06Well, OK, then.
10:11Well, the young lady in question was found here, inside this alcove.
10:16The curtain had been closed to hide the body
10:19and we've already confirmed that the murder must have occurred
10:22whilst there were other people still on or around the premises.
10:25These people here, there are seven of them,
10:27which creates a fairly traditional spatial puzzle.
10:30Actually, in this case, it's a perceptual puzzle,
10:32which is a subcategory of spatial.
10:35It requires us to imagine the visual point of view of the killer,
10:38or indeed the victim, put ourselves inside the alcove
10:42and ask what you can see from that space,
10:45which in turn obviously would tell us who could see them
10:48and where they need to be positioned to do so.
10:51In this instance, the positions are limited
10:53mostly thanks to medieval architecture's reliance on columns,
10:57pillars, arches and grills.
11:19Nine spot.
11:22Nine spot. Nine spot. Nine spot.
11:37The puzzle is impossible.
11:39Solving it would require there to be fewer variables and suspects,
11:43which, as I've just demonstrated, is clearly not the case.
11:46Any one of them could have done it.
11:48I think we're going to need to find a motive with this one.
11:51Oh!
11:53You haven't been looking into motives?
11:55Well, they're very secondary, aren't they?
11:57If you can demonstrate who did it and how,
11:59then the why doesn't really matter.
12:01Though we obviously intend to explore them.
12:05Obviously.
12:07I really think we should head down to the control room now.
12:10I'll catch you up.
12:12Dishakata, could we...?
12:14Yes, yes, of course, sir.
12:18Let's go.
12:27The why matters, Taylor.
12:30Find it.
12:48Which paper did you say you were from?
12:50Cambridge Herald.
12:52Oh, I don't think I've heard of that one.
12:54Oh, well, it's mostly online.
12:56Is that Rhys?
12:58Yes.
13:00I always thought he looked like an angel in that one.
13:06I'm sorry.
13:10It's all just so...
13:12Do you have children?
13:14Yes.
13:16That's how I feel.
13:21He was with me that whole evening.
13:24You make sure you write that, because I told the police,
13:26but they wouldn't believe me.
13:28You alibied him?
13:30They didn't believe me.
13:32Which detective did you speak to?
13:34I don't know.
13:36There were lots of different ones.
13:38I kept coming for days,
13:40trying to get me to change my story.
13:42But I wouldn't,
13:44because he was here that whole night.
13:46We watched the soaps.
13:48On what grounds did they arrest him?
13:50They said there were fingerprints.
13:52DNA.
13:54And that a witness had seen him leaving.
13:58He pled guilty.
14:00So he confessed, but you said he was here all night?
14:03He was.
14:05It makes no sense.
14:07Will you mention the crowd funder?
14:09Yes.
14:12Mrs Bone, sorry to ask.
14:14Had Rhys been in trouble with the police?
14:17Was he in any kind of trouble?
14:19Burglary.
14:24But he'd never hurt anybody.
14:27Never.
14:29They'd made a mistake.
14:31Would you like to take a photo?
14:35Perhaps with this?
14:50Mrs Bone, do you think there's any way that I could speak to your son?
14:57You could come back tomorrow.
14:59He calls every Wednesday.
15:02He's quite striking, isn't he, Chief Constable Ziegler?
15:07I mean, sure, I guess.
15:10Yes.
15:12Very tall.
15:14What do you think?
15:16Yeah, he's quite tall, yes.
15:18What are you doing? I said don't rub it in.
15:20I wasn't rubbing it, I was wiping it.
15:22Well, don't wipe it either. You have to dab it.
15:24Like this.
15:26Mr and Mrs Tate.
15:28DI Carter.
15:32Oh, yeah, I've got one of those as well.
15:35And this is DCI Taylor.
15:37Thanks for coming in.
15:38It's quite all right.
15:39Yeah, although so far nobody's actually told us what this is about.
15:42It's rather serious, I'm afraid.
15:45We're investigating a murder.
15:47Ah, there it is.
15:50Yeah, see?
15:52Oh, that's going to need dry cleaning.
15:58Egg?
16:04You have to hold it, Gov.
16:06I am holding it.
16:08Hold the button in.
16:10Hold it in, yes.
16:12Sorry, I have a different one at home.
16:15I can't believe it.
16:18I can't believe it.
16:20How could anybody want to hurt that poor girl?
16:23She was lovely, wasn't she?
16:25American.
16:27She had us laughing all morning.
16:30Even him.
16:38OK, then.
16:40That's everyone.
16:42So, I mean, let me start by saying that, no, your ears are not on.
16:46I'm saying that, no, your ears are not deceiving you.
16:50I am an American.
16:53Please don't hold it against me.
16:55I assure you I'm not armed.
16:58So, just out of interest, do we have any locals here?
17:03Yes.
17:04So you're from Cambridge.
17:05Yes.
17:06What brings you on our tour today?
17:08It's our anniversary.
17:10Happy anniversary.
17:11That's lovely.
17:12Not last minute, I hope.
17:14And how about you, young ladies?
17:17I have Manon.
17:19I've got Tanya.
17:21And I've got Katya.
17:25Excuse my granddaughter.
17:27Where are you from?
17:29Paris.
17:30Ah, and it's Miles and Una, right?
17:35Where are you guys from?
17:36Isle of Man.
17:37The Isle of Man, eh?
17:40Quite the cultural melting pot we got this morning.
17:43Just the way I like it.
17:44Well then, shall we allez?
17:47So you say you were together for the whole tour.
17:49Did anything seem off at all?
17:51Anyone acting strangely?
17:53No.
17:54Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
17:56The couple from the Isle of Man didn't pay attention,
17:58just kept chatting and giggling to each other.
18:01And one of the French ones was never off her phone.
18:03They've got the attention span of a goldfish these days.
18:06Too much internet.
18:08I hate the internet.
18:10Hate it.
18:14So, what made you choose the tour for your anniversary then?
18:19I know what you're thinking, Detective.
18:2330 years of marriage and what do I get her?
18:26A £20 walking tour of Cambridge.
18:29Each? £20 each?
18:31So overall you spent £40 on the gift.
18:34Is that still quite low?
18:37Well, we had agreed not to get each other anything.
18:42My husband was made redundant late last year
18:45and he's only just started working again.
18:49We've had a lean few months, that's all.
18:52I always promised I'd get you a diamond ring for our 30th.
18:56Well, save up for our 40th then.
18:58Don't be so stupid.
19:00I loved my £20 walking tour.
19:03At least I did.
19:07I was going to buy a tea towel.
19:12Sir?
19:16Sorry.
19:18They do a few photo stops on the way round,
19:21then whack the pictures up on a website
19:23where you can then get them stuck on a variety of merchandise
19:27including tea towels.
19:30No photos from yesterday.
19:32It looks like they only upload them over the weekends.
19:34A bit basic, aren't they?
19:36Looks like they were done on a phone,
19:38which I guess confirms that she would have had one on her.
19:40Has Holly got any further with that yet?
19:42They're red taping her,
19:43but she reckons she'll have a call log by the end of tomorrow.
19:45They did say there is no sign of usage since, though.
19:48It appears the phone's been switched off.
19:50Sir!
19:52The French women are here.
19:54Come on then, gov.
19:58I really hope you're not my secret Santa this year.
20:01No, I'm not.
20:03I really hope you're not my secret Santa this year.
20:06No, it's the case.
20:10That's not a bad idea for Mum, though.
20:12The plan is 22 cities in three months.
20:16Right. That's quite an expensive holiday.
20:19Oh, we're not rich women, detective.
20:23My father passed away recently.
20:26Left us some money.
20:28Sorry for your loss.
20:30Don't be. We were separated.
20:32Separated for good reason.
20:34And as my beautiful daughter here is divorced,
20:38and my even more beautiful granddaughter
20:41recently had her own heart broken for the first time,
20:46I decided we needed some adventure in our lives.
20:50Sans hommes. Without men.
20:53Yes, I know.
20:56So it's an eat, pray, love thing?
20:59Yes, detective. Exactement.
21:01I can't stop thinking about her.
21:11She was my age, her whole life ahead of her.
21:14Okay, say cheese.
21:17Cheese.
21:19Lovely, one for the grandkids.
21:21She was happy, bubbly, seemed to love her job.
21:29All right, ladies, perhaps I'm with the bridge behind.
21:31Okay, let me see those pearly whites in three, two, one.
21:37Lovely.
21:39The whole day was just nice, you know.
21:44Do you remember the last time you all actually saw Megan Rollins?
21:48The last stop, the church.
21:51She was at the altar whilst we were looking around.
21:56The altar with the stained glass window.
21:58Yes, we went to look at the features and then as we left,
22:02she was gone, the curtain was closed.
22:05You're sure about that, the curtain being closed?
22:09I know what a closed curtain looks like, inspectors.
22:18Wait, does that mean she...
22:21She'd already been killed whilst we were still there.
22:28I...
22:31I understand this sort of thing will always come as a shock.
22:36She was my best friend.
22:38Really? What?
22:40After one tour?
22:43Is that normal?
22:46No.
22:48So, am I to understand that you knew Ms Rollins prior to the trip?
22:51Of course we knew her.
22:53But according to...
22:55You told her and the group that you were visitors from the Isle of Man.
23:01Look, we'd often take her tour.
23:05Any time she was short on numbers, she'd text us to stand in.
23:09I am so sorry for your loss.
23:12If we'd known that you actually knew her,
23:15we would have gone to see her.
23:18Can you tell me about the last time you saw her?
23:21In the church.
23:23Now, nobody really knows whether it was deliberately designed this way or not.
23:28And it very much depends on the cloud coverage.
23:31But, under the right conditions,
23:34from midday, i.e. a couple of minutes,
23:38the sun would be out and the clouds would be gone.
23:42So, it's a bit of a mystery.
23:45From midday, i.e. a couple of minutes,
23:48the sun hits that glass
23:51and this whole chamber becomes filled
23:55with every color of the spectrum.
24:01It's quite something.
24:03And that's it.
24:05I hope you all had a good time.
24:07Maybe learned something, made a few memories.
24:10Please feel free to wander and peruse at your leisure
24:14and thank you.
24:20Megan was stood under the magic window.
24:23I remember one of the French women, the younger one,
24:27she was going over to talk to her
24:30and bumped into that anniversary bloke.
24:33Didn't even apologize.
24:40Why did you even wander around?
24:43If you were always taking this tour,
24:45you must have seen everything that there is to see.
24:54I like to play the organ.
25:13¶¶
25:43Well, it's them. It has to be.
25:45The only ones with a connection to the victim from their own accounts
25:48are the only ones that were in there.
25:50Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want one?
25:53Not if I have to ask, no.
25:55Connections don't matter.
25:57The motive can't predate the tour.
25:59Do you know what? I always share mine with you.
26:01DC Evans, do you mind?
26:04Gov, what do you mean the motive can't predate the tour?
26:07Well, it wasn't planned in advance, was it?
26:10People who plan murders in advance
26:12don't commit them in front of six potential witnesses
26:15and then write their e-mail address down for good measure.
26:18No. Whatever the motive was, it formed during the tour itself.
26:23What could possibly happen during a two-hour walking tour
26:26that could turn someone who wasn't a killer at the start
26:28into one by the end?
26:41Chief Constable Ziegler was at the station today.
26:44He and D.I. Carter talked privately.
26:47What about?
26:49I don't know. I couldn't think of a way of asking.
26:51How about what were you and Chief Constable Ziegler talking about?
26:55Oh. Would that have worked?
26:57Did you tell him?
26:59Er, no, sweetheart. He's only just...
27:01The burglar. He's innocent. He was with his mum the entire night.
27:04That's what she told me and the police,
27:06but they didn't believe her or claim not to.
27:09Next thing she knows, he's signing a confession.
27:12So he pleaded guilty?
27:14What they always do. You never seen Making a Murderer?
27:17No. I did see Crime Watch once.
27:22Never again.
27:24Oh, John, it was awful.
27:26She thinks I'm a journalist working for a newspaper I've completely made up.
27:29Thinks he's going to be in the press.
27:31Thinks someone's actually going to help her now.
27:33Well, you are helping her. It's the same as Dad was.
27:37I mean, it's obvious what's happened, isn't it?
27:40This Sinclair guy, this blogger, he was about to break a story.
27:44A big one, but they got to him first.
27:46Who did? I don't know. The government?
27:48The royal family? The Freemasons?
27:50They killed Sinclair, they framed Bowen
27:52and when Dad wouldn't drop it, they started coming after him.
27:55That all seems a bit...big.
27:58Of course it's big.
28:00It has to be big, doesn't it?
28:03Dad wouldn't just abandon us if it wasn't...
28:05Of course he wouldn't.
28:15Freemasons?
28:17No, he doesn't actually believe that.
28:20He's just looking for a bit of hope from the man of the house.
28:24That's you, by the way.
28:26Oh, I see.
28:28What should I have said?
28:30Er, rule of thumb, whatever you think they want to hear.
28:33You mean lie?
28:34Yeah, God, if it makes them happy, yes.
28:36Lie your pants off.
28:38Like I did today.
28:40I am helping her, aren't I, John?
28:42I mean, ultimately.
28:43I mean, I know we're trying to find James, but...
28:46..maybe by doing that...
28:49..we actually get an innocent man out of prison.
28:52I thought he was a burglar.
28:56I mean, yes, you are helping.
28:59And I say that with my pants still very firmly on.
29:06This is reassuring on multiple levels.
29:22Can I help you?
29:24This is mine.
29:26No, it isn't.
29:27I've had it since I was a little kid.
29:29Dad gave me it.
29:30Yes, our dad gave it to us.
29:33Me and James, we shared it.
29:35I was obsessed with this thing.
29:38Particularly after Dad left.
29:40Never put it down.
29:42Until your dad took it away from me and hid it.
29:49Why did he do that?
29:52As a kindness.
29:55He knew that our dad was never coming back.
30:01The same as I know that yours is.
30:05How?
30:06Because I'm in the unenviable position of knowing the difference
30:10between a father that loves his family
30:13and a father that didn't.
30:17Uncle John, how come you never got married?
30:20I left it too late.
30:36Morning.
30:37Morning.
30:39Why are you pretending to yawn?
30:42Good question.
30:45I'm not.
30:46Why are you pretending to yawn?
30:49Good question.
31:03Morning, Guvs.
31:04Did you hear they found Jordan Halshaw?
31:07The missing millionaire's kid?
31:08Yeah.
31:09Fished him out of the camp this morning.
31:11Looks like he drowned.
31:12Apparently he'd been camping out in one of his dad's old developments.
31:15The empty office block they're renovating on Mallard Way.
31:18They found a sleeping bag, take-away wrappers, drug paraphernalia.
31:22I can't say I'm surprised.
31:24Yes, but do you know who notified the family?
31:26Chief Constable Ziegler.
31:28In person.
31:30You ever heard of that before?
31:32Well, whatever the Chief Constable chooses to do is his business.
31:35Ours is this.
31:38I don't suppose you had one of your Eureka moments overnight, did you?
31:41I didn't. Did you?
31:42I don't tend to have them with quite the same frequency as you do.
31:45But I do think the missing phone has to be important somehow.
31:48Maybe that was the motive?
31:50The acquisition of her phone.
31:52Why? Was it a particularly nice one?
31:55Sorry?
31:56Ah, Holly, excellent timing.
31:58This phone of Miss Rowland's.
32:00Was it nice?
32:01Was it what? I don't know what you're talking about.
32:03Call logs and text messages from the last month.
32:05Here.
32:06Can I see those, please?
32:08Thank goodness for that.
32:09A coincidence.
32:10We needed one of those.
32:12I mean, ideally we'd have three to be statistically significant,
32:15but one's a start.
32:17There, see?
32:18The last call just before midday.
32:2000331.
32:23So that would mean...
32:25That around the same time she was murdered,
32:27someone used her phone to make a call to Paris, France.
32:35I don't understand.
32:36Well, that is a Parisian phone number, is it not?
32:39Yes. And?
32:41We've traced it, obviously.
32:44Does the name Paul Tremblay mean anything to you?
32:50He's my boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend.
32:54What?
32:55We've been texting again since Rome.
32:58I didn't want to tell you, either of you,
33:00because this whole thing, this whole trip,
33:03it was meant to be the...
33:05Saint-Jean?
33:06Yes, Saint-Jean.
33:08It's not like everything's forgiven or forgotten.
33:12We're working through it.
33:17On that day alone, we had already fallen out
33:19and made up twice by the time we got to the church.
33:22And the signal, it was bad in there.
33:25Eventually, his last text came through,
33:27and, I still love you.
33:31And then my battery died,
33:33and he had just told me he loved me.
33:36He saw that I had read it, and he got no response,
33:39so she let me use her phone.
33:42I offered to pay, and she said no.
33:48She was very kind.
33:50Wait, so where's the phone now?
33:53What do you mean? I gave her it back.
33:58Well, this is very disappointing.
34:00Excusez-moi?
34:02No, he's right, Katia, it is.
34:05You should have told me.
34:07You think I would be angry, disapproved?
34:10All I ever want is for you, for any of us, to be happy.
34:15Does that include me?
34:18What?
34:19The man in Athens, in the shirt?
34:23The one who bought me the coffee.
34:27We have been talking rather a lot.
34:30Maman!
34:31I'm 70, I'm not dead.
34:33So I was the only one this whole trip
34:36eating, praying, and loving alone?
34:43Detective Inspector,
34:45are you free for dinner at all tonight?
35:00Why did you tell her you were married?
35:02Oh, what was I supposed to say?
35:04That it would be inappropriate of me to date somebody involved with...
35:07Actually, that's exactly what I should have said.
35:10Because you're not married, are you?
35:13No, of course I'm not, you know I'm not.
35:16What are you doing? I'm not married.
35:18Never have been married, and I never will be married, all right?
35:22Sorry, can we just drop it?
35:24Focus on what matters.
35:26Like the fact that we had one lead and now we have none.
35:29It is the phone, it has to be.
35:32As random as everything seems,
35:34the killer must have taken it for a reason.
35:40Wasn't she using it to take photos during the tour?
35:43Doors opening.
35:45Oh, we need to go back to the church.
36:15Hello.
36:45Hello.
37:16They're all of the same places.
37:18Well, they would be, wouldn't it? It's the same tour.
37:21Chief, day after day.
37:22Look, are you going to let me in on what you're thinking here, or...?
37:25I'm thinking, what if one of the photos she took the other day
37:28is the reason she was killed?
37:31Well, something must have happened on that tour
37:34that sealed her fate, and the missing phone's all we've got left.
37:38Well, yeah, but we don't even have that.
37:40And if your theory is correct,
37:42then the killer would have almost certainly gotten rid of it by now.
37:45All right, then.
37:47What if we used basic critical thinking
37:49to work out the most likely scenario of what that photo might have been
37:53without actually seeing the photo itself?
37:57Well, yeah, that would be quite something, Chief, wouldn't it?
38:00And how exactly would we do that?
38:09We could take the tour.
38:13I'll lead the way.
38:15You get the photo from their website and go on your phone.
38:43The next one is King's College.
38:49Um...
38:51King's College is that way, Chief.
38:54Wait, I thought you went to university here?
38:56Yes.
38:58Just checking it hadn't moved.
39:03What, since 1441?
39:06Yes.
39:08Yes.
39:39This is it.
39:41The last stop before the crime scene.
40:09Now, that's a statistically significant number of coincidences.
40:14What? What is?
40:16Three.
40:18Which basically means that they're not.
40:20Not what?
40:22Coincidences.
40:24Do you think that's a coincidence?
40:26No.
40:28No.
40:30No.
40:32No.
40:34No.
40:36Yes.
40:38Do you think we could get everyone back to the church?
40:41And perhaps Chief Constable Ziegler too?
40:45What? The Chief Constable? Why?
40:47Unfortunately, we need him.
40:49Plus, he seemed keen to see me perform miracles.
40:53Seems as good a place as any.
41:06Make this good.
41:31There was a very tough question at the heart of this case.
41:36What could possibly occur during a two-hour walking tour to turn someone who wasn't a
41:41killer at the start of it into one by the end?
41:44But it turns out it was never a question at all.
41:47It was a riddle.
41:48And like all good riddles, the answer is a trick one, because actually nothing could
41:53do that.
41:54They were already a killer.
41:57We had two pages of the puzzle book stuck together.
42:00We weren't investigating one murder.
42:03We were investigating two.
42:04Two?
42:05Yes, Miss Chen, your friends.
42:09And a gentleman by the name of Jordan Hulshall.
42:11That's the one they found in the river this morning, isn't it?
42:16Yes, it is, Mrs. Tate.
42:17I believe at that point the speculation was drowning, but I assume that they've done a
42:23how-did-they-die test.
42:25Post-mortem?
42:26Post-mortem, since then.
42:29I am.
42:30Sorry, do you see, I tell you that, are you telling me you know who did it?
42:34I do.
42:35Yes.
42:36In fact, I should be able to get you a confession in a minute.
42:40Hang on.
42:42When you're investigating two cases, but you only think you're investigating one, nothing
42:47is going to make any sense.
42:49Instead, it becomes a lateral thinking puzzle.
42:53You have to recognise that something is missing and look for what that is in the variables,
42:58which in this case took the form of coincidences.
43:01A statistically significant number of coincidences.
43:04Exactly, three.
43:06Enough to demonstrate that there's a high likelihood that they're not coincidences at
43:09all.
43:10In this instance, the first coincidence was the location of the final photo stop on the
43:15tour, Mallard's Way, site of the very development that the ill-fated Mr. Hulshall had been camping
43:23out in.
43:24A development that would be perfectly framed in the background of any photograph you might
43:29take in that spot, which of course, Miss Rowlands did.
43:35Coincidence number two, on the one and only key piece of evidence that was missing from
43:39her crime scene, her phone.
43:44A development which was also accompanied by a small sign, the inscription upon which gives
43:50us our third coincidence, protected by Cambridge complete security.
44:04Your connection to both events is a coincidence too far, Mr. Tate.
44:10So was it an accident?
44:13Did it surprise you during your rounds, or?
44:17I'm sorry, but I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
44:20I see that stain is still there.
44:24Am I to take it the uniform still hasn't been dry cleaned?
44:29Am I also right in assuming that you were wearing it on the day in question?
44:34I think what DCI Taylor is trying to tell you is that if you had any form of physical
44:37contact with Mr. Hulshall, a confrontation perhaps, a struggle, then even something as
44:43small as a single flake of skin on that uniform would prove it.
44:48Do we need to send it for testing, or?
44:57There were empty cans, blankets, needles, I assume some junkie had broken in and was
45:12squatting there.
45:18And he came back, physically attacked me.
45:23He was so out of it, I don't even think he understood what he was doing.
45:27I didn't mean to hurt him.
45:34I got an arm around him, tried to hold him up.
45:50I just wanted him to stop.
46:00But instead...
46:01It was self-defence.
46:07It was self-defence.
46:08It wasn't your fault.
46:09You didn't need...
46:10You should have called the police.
46:11Explained it all.
46:12They would have...
46:13And the money?
46:14Jordan Hulshall took £8,000 from his father's safe on the day he disappeared.
46:28It was in a bag.
46:29And now?
46:30Hidden.
46:31At home.
46:32What?
46:33Adrian?
46:34Why?
46:35Look, I'm sorry, but what exactly does any of this mean?
46:36Yes, good question, Mr Northey.
46:48You see, we were acting under the assumption that the motive for her murder must have somehow
46:53formed during the tour.
46:55But we never thought to ask which tour.
46:59Because, of course, they take place twice a day, seven days a week, and they always
47:06use the same photo stops.
47:08You can't have been certain whether your deed had been captured on camera, but you also
47:20couldn't take the risk.
47:22You had to get that phone.
47:24So you used your own anniversary as cover.
47:29It wasn't like that.
47:33I had different plans for our anniversary, bigger ones, better ones, but I had to try
47:37and protect us.
47:39I spent that whole trip watching her, waiting for her to put that bag down and turn away
47:48just once, just for one moment.
47:51But she never did.
47:56Until right at the very end.
48:14Let me help.
48:16Oh, thank you.
48:26Can I have it, please?
48:28Give me the code.
48:29What?
48:30No, give me it back.
48:35Don't!
48:56Don't!
49:26Don't!
49:27Don't!
49:28Don't!
49:29Don't!
49:30Don't!
49:31Don't!
49:32Don't.
49:33Don't.
49:34Don't.
49:35Don't.
49:36Don't.
49:56I never wanted to hurt her.
49:59I never wanted to hurt anybody, but with everything we went through last year and for that money
50:06to just fall into my lap like that...
50:12I was going to get that diamond ring, finally.
50:17The one I'd always promised you, remember?
50:20She was 21 years old.
50:24Constable.
50:27Constable.
50:28No, no, please.
50:29No, no, no.
50:30One of you.
50:31Please.
50:32Please stand up, sir.
50:33Adrian Tate, I am arresting you on suspicion of murder.
50:38You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say may be held against you in court.
50:45So lovely.
50:47Oh, Jesus.
50:56Well, now, that's over with.
51:06We should probably...
51:08I was engaged.
51:13She died.
51:17I'm so sorry.
51:21Her name was Mandy.
51:23Mandy Ziegler.
51:28As in...
51:32You helped to first strike the transfer.
51:34I couldn't stay there.
51:38That's all I've ever asked of him.
51:41He would have been my father-in-law, but now the only thing we have in common is a shared grief and...
51:50I don't want anyone ever suggesting I used that to further my career or to take advantage.
51:58And believe me, if they knew, they would.
52:01I understand.
52:04Thanks, Guff.
52:21Oh, that's better.
52:47Do you not think I could phase in the idea of James wearing glasses?
52:53And perhaps stopping taking sugar?
53:01He's dead.
53:06He can't be.
53:09He is.
53:18He was found...
53:23hanging in his cell this morning.
53:28Wait.
53:30You mean the burglar?
53:32Yes, of course I mean the burglar. What else did you think I meant?
53:36What's going on? What happened?
53:38The man they arrested for the Sinclair murder has killed himself.
53:43Maybe he didn't.
53:45What if I caused this? What if he's dead because of me?
53:48I don't see how you could.
53:49I was supposed to talk to him today.
53:51What if they knew that?
53:53They?
53:54Yes, they, them.
53:55Lucy, perhaps we should...
53:57They must have followed me, tailed me to her house.
54:00Lucy, no, that doesn't make any...
54:02Could be watching us now.
54:03Oh my God, can you see anyone?
54:05All right, stop. Just stop.
54:08Please.
54:10Nobody was tailing you and nobody is watching you, OK?
54:13If they wanted to follow anyone, it would be James, wouldn't it?
54:17Or who they think is James.
54:19Why would they follow his wife? It doesn't make any sense.
54:23Lucy, the man was facing life in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
54:29What happened is tragic, but it hardly needs a grand conspiracy to explain it.
54:37Something is being covered up here, we know that.
54:40But shadowy figures orchestrating a suicide inside a guarded prison cell?
54:48No, it's too much. It's too...
54:54Do you really believe that?
54:56I really do.
54:58You're not just saying what you think I want to hear.
55:01I think I've already proved I'm rubbish at that.
55:08Oh, poor woman.
55:13I know.
55:23Do you want me to get you a coffee?
55:27You make awful coffee.
56:58Do me a favour, John. Don't solve any murders today.
57:01I'll try really hard not to.
57:04Did you see it? No.
57:06But I heard it.
57:08It was obviously an accident.
57:10I've never seen another man die before.
57:12Is there a single person that works on this site who is ever where they're supposed to be?
57:17Listen, is this going to take much longer?
57:19I'm afraid that's the least of your problems.
57:21One of them is a murderer.
57:23What if I can't solve the cipher?
57:25Look, the cipher is a puzzle.
57:27Solving puzzles is literally what you do.
57:29Hello?
57:30What do you think you're playing at?
57:32Who is this?
57:55You
