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.
00:19Then look 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.
00:32Ah.
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?
02:38Chief, I 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
04:50and 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
05:29at 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.
05:40I'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 a genius 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?
06:31Ā£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 on.
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...
08:59She'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 D.I.
09:12on the Halshaws of Cambridge?
09:14Oh, of course, yes.
09:16Well, um...
09:18There.
09:20Perhaps Councillor Evans would like the honour.
09:23Oh, sure, thanks.
09:25Well, he's Cameron Halshaw's son.
09:27Cameron Halshaw Developments.
09:29You've probably seen the signs everywhere.
09:31Halshaw Junior is a walking liability.
09:33He's in and out of rehab, smashing up sports cars
09:36and often picked up with bags of cash he has no explanation for
09:38nor any particular concern about being found with.
09:43Sir. Thank you.
09:45And his father has influential friends.
09:48Three officers, no complaining.
09:51This is a church murder from yesterday.
09:53Talk 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
10:18and we've already confirmed that the murder must have occurred
10:21whilst 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.
11:38The puzzle is impossible.
11:40Solving 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.
12:10OK, so I'm going to catch you up.
12:12Dejah Carter, 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. Burns, 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?
14:51Mrs. Burns, do you think there's any way that I could speak to your son?
14:58You could come back tomorrow.
15:00He calls every Wednesday.
15:03He's, er...
15:05He's quite striking, isn't he, Chief Constable Ziegler?
15:09I mean, sure, I guess.
15:12Yes.
15:14Very tall.
15:16But what do you think?
15:18Yeah, he's quite tall, yes. We should probably...
15:20What are you doing? I said don't rub it in.
15:22I wasn't rubbing it, I was wiping it.
15:24Well, don't wipe it either. You have to dab it.
15:26Like this.
15:28Mr and Mrs Tate,
15:30D.I. Carter.
15:34Oh, yeah, I've got one of those as well.
15:37And this is D.C.R. Taylor.
15:39Thanks for coming in. It's quite all right.
15:41Yeah, although so far nobody's actually told us what this is about.
15:44It's rather serious, I'm afraid.
15:47We're investigating a murder.
15:49Ah, there it is.
15:52See?
15:56Oh, that's going to need dry cleaning.
16:00Egg?
16:06You have to hold it, Gov.
16:08I am holding it.
16:10No, hold the button in.
16:12Hold it in, yes.
16:14Sorry, I have a different one at home.
16:18I can't believe it.
16:20How could anybody want to hurt that poor girl?
16:23She was lovely, wasn't she?
16:25America.
16:27She had us laughing all morning.
16:29Even him.
16:38Okay, then.
16:40Um, that's everyone.
16:42So, I mean, let me start by saying that,
16:44no, your ears are not deceiving you.
16:47I am an American.
16:49Uh, please don't hold it against me.
16:52I assure you I'm not armed.
16:54So, just out of interest,
16:56do we have any locals here?
16:58Yes.
16:59So you're from Cambridge.
17:01Yes.
17:02What brings you on our tour today?
17:04Oh, it's our anniversary.
17:06Happy anniversary.
17:08That's lovely.
17:09Not last minute, I hope.
17:11And how about you, young ladies?
17:13Um, I have Manon.
17:15I've got Tanya.
17:17And I've got Katya.
17:19Excuse my granddaughter.
17:21Oh, where are you from?
17:23Paris.
17:24Ah, and it's Miles and Una, right?
17:29Where are you guys from?
17:31Isle of Man.
17:32The Isle of Man, eh?
17:34Quite the cultural melting pot we got this morning.
17:37That is just the way I like it.
17:39Well, then, shall we aller?
17:42So you say you were together for the whole tour.
17:44Yes.
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.
18:00And 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.
18:13So, what made you choose the tour for your anniversary, then?
18:19I know what you're thinking, Detective.
18:2230 years of marriage and what do I get her?
18:26A 20-pound walking tour of Cambridge.
18:29Each? 20 pounds 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.
18:48We'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-pound walking tour.
19:03At least I did.
19:06I was going to buy a tea towel.
19:12Sir?
19:15Sorry.
19:17They do a few photo stops on the way round,
19:20then whack the pictures up on a website
19:22where you can then get them stuck on a variety of merchandise,
19:26including tea towels.
19:28No photos from yesterday.
19:30It looks like they only upload them over the weekends.
19:33A bit basic, aren't they?
19:35Yeah.
19:37Looks like they were done on a phone,
19:39which I guess confirms that she would have had one on her.
19:42Has Holly got any further with that yet?
19:44There's red tape in her, but she reckons she'll have a call log by the end of tomorrow.
19:48They did say there is no sign of usage since, though.
19:51It appears the phone's been switched off.
19:53Sir!
19:54The French women are here.
19:56Come on, then, gov.
20:00I really hope you're not my secret Santa this year.
20:03No, it's the case.
20:06It's not a bad idea for Mum, though.
20:08The plan is 22 cities in three months.
20:12Right. That's quite an expensive holiday.
20:15Oh, we're not rich women, detective.
20:19My father passed away recently.
20:22Left us some money.
20:24Sorry for your loss.
20:26Don't be. We were separated.
20:28And separated for good reason.
20:32And as my beautiful daughter here is divorced,
20:36and my even more beautiful granddaughter
20:39recently had her own heart broken for the first time,
20:43I decided we needed some adventure in our lives.
20:48Sans hommes. Without men.
20:51Yes, I know.
20:54So it's an eat, pray, love thing.
20:57Yes, detective. Exactement.
20:59I can't stop thinking about her.
21:09She was my age, her whole life ahead of her.
21:12Okay. Say cheese.
21:15Cheese.
21:17Lovely. One for the grandkids.
21:19She was happy, bubbly,
21:25seemed to love her job.
21:27All right, ladies, perhaps someone with a bridge behind?
21:29Okay, let me see those pearly whites.
21:32In three, two, one.
21:35Lovely.
21:37The whole day was just nice, you know?
21:42Do you remember the last time you all actually saw Megan Robbins?
21:46The last stop, the church.
21:49She was at the altar whilst we were looking around.
21:55The altar with the stained-glass window?
21:57Yes, we went to look at the features,
22:00and then as we left, she was gone, the curtain was closed.
22:04You're sure about that, the curtain being closed?
22:08I know what a closed curtain looks like, Inspector.
22:17Wait. Does that mean...?
22:20She's already been killed.
22:22She's already been killed whilst we were still there.
22:36I...
22:38I understand this sort of thing will always come as a shock.
22:42She was my best friend.
22:44Really? What?
22:46After one tour?
22:49Is that normal?
22:51No.
22:53So, am I to understand that you knew Ms Rollins prior to the trip?
22:56Of course we knew her.
22:58We shared halls last year.
23:00But according to...
23:02You told her and the group
23:05that you were visitors from the Isle of Man.
23:09Look, we'd often take her tour.
23:12Any time she was short on numbers, she'd text us to stand in.
23:16I am so sorry for your loss.
23:19If we'd known that you actually knew her, we'd...
23:27Can you tell me about the last time you saw her?
23:30In the church.
23:32Now, nobody really knows
23:34whether it was deliberately designed this way or not.
23:37And it very much depends on the cloud coverage.
23:40But under the right conditions,
23:43from midday, i.e. a couple of minutes,
23:47the sun hits that glass,
23:50and this whole chamber becomes filled
23:54with 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.
24:20Meghan 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 apologise.
24:40Why did you even wander around?
24:43If you were always taking this tour,
24:46you must have seen everything that there is to see.
24:54I like to play the organ.
25:13Organ music plays
25:43Well, it's them. It has to be.
25:45The only ones with a connection to the victim,
25:47from their own accounts, are 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?
26:04Gav, 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 email 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 DI 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.
27:03He was with his mum the entire night.
27:05That's what she told me and the police,
27:07but 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.
27:19I 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?
27:39This Sinclair guy, this blogger,
27:41who was about to break a story.
27:43A big one, but they got to him first.
27:45Who did?
27:47I don't know. The government, the 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?
28:30Rule of thumb, whatever you think they want to hear.
28:32You 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.
28:44I mean, I know we're trying to find James,
28:46but maybe by doing that...
28:50..we actually get an innocent man out of prison.
28:53I thought he was a burglar.
28:57I mean, yes, you are helping.
29:00I say that with my pants still very firmly on.
29:07This is reassuring on multiple levels.
29:22Can I help you?
29:24This is mine.
29:26No, it isn't.
29:28I've had it since I was a little kid.
29:30Dad gave me it.
29:32Yes, our dad gave it to us.
29:34Me and James, we shared it.
29:36I was obsessed with this thing.
29:39Particularly after Dad left.
29:41Never put it down.
29:43Until your dad took it away from me and hid it.
29:50Why did he do that?
29:53As a kindness.
29:56He knew that our dad was never coming back.
30:03Same as I know that yours is.
30:06How?
30:08Because I'm in the unenviable position of knowing the difference
30:11between a father that loves his family
30:14and a father that didn't.
30:19Uncle John, how come you never got married?
30:23I left it too late.
30:39Morning.
30:41Morning.
30:43Why are you pretending to yawn?
30:45Good question.
30:53Morning, Gavs.
30:55Did you hear they found Jordan Halshaw?
30:57The missing millionaire's kid?
30:59Yeah, fished him out of the cam this morning.
31:01Looks like he drowned.
31:03Apparently, he'd been camping out in one of his dad's old developments.
31:06The empty office block they're renovating on Mallard Way.
31:09They found a sleeping bag, take-away wrappers, drug paraphernalia.
31:13I don't know.
31:15I don't know.
31:17I don't know.
31:19I don't know.
31:21Drug paraphernalia.
31:23I can't say I'm surprised.
31:25Yes, but do you know who notified the family?
31:27Chief Constable Ziegler, in 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?
31:41No, I didn't. Did you?
31:43I don't tend to have them with quite the same frequency as you do.
31:46But I do think the missing phone has to be important somehow.
31:49Maybe that was the motive?
31:51The acquisition of her phone.
31:53Why? Was it a particularly nice one?
31:55Sorry?
31:57Ah, Holly, excellent timing.
31:59This phone of Miss Rowland's, was it nice?
32:02Was it what? I don't know what you're talking about.
32:04Call logs and text messages from the last month.
32:06Here.
32:07Can I see those, please?
32:09Thank goodness for that. A coincidence.
32:11We needed one of those.
32:13I mean, ideally, we'd have three to be statistically significant.
32:16But one's a start.
32:18The last call, just before midday.
32:2100331.
32:24So that would mean...
32:26That around the same time she was murdered,
32:28someone used her phone to make a call to Paris, France.
32:36I don't understand.
32:37Well, that is a Parisian phone number, is it not?
32:40Yes. And?
32:42We've traced it, obviously.
32:45Does the name Paul Tremblay mean anything to you?
32:51He's my boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend.
32:55What?
32:56We've been texting again since Rome.
32:59I didn't want to tell you, either of you,
33:01because this whole thing, this whole trip,
33:04it was meant to be the...
33:06So and so?
33:07Yes, thank you.
33:09It's not like everything's forgiven or forgotten.
33:13We're working through it.
33:17On that day alone, we had already fallen out and made up twice
33:20by 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...
33:28I 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.
33:41What?
33:42I offered to pay, and she said no.
33:48She was very kind.
33:50Wait, so where's the phone now?
33:52What do you mean? I gave her it back.
33:58Well, this is very disappointing.
34:00Excusez-moi?
34:01No, he's right, Katia, it is.
34:05You should have told me.
34:07You think I would be angry, disapproved,
34:10only the world is for you,
34:12for any of us to be happy.
34:15Does that include me?
34:17What?
34:18The 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
34:35eating, praying, and loving alone?
34:41D'accord.
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
35:05to date somebody involved with...
35:07Sorry, 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.
35:15What are you doing? I'm not married.
35:17I never have been married
35:18and I never will be married, alright?
35:28Sorry, can we just drop it?
35:30Focus on what matters.
35:32Like the fact that we had one lead and now we have none.
35:35It is the phone, it has to be.
35:37As random as everything seems,
35:39the killer must have taken it for a reason.
35:45Wasn't she using it to take photos during the tour?

37:17They're all in the same places.
37:19Well, 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?
37:32Well, something must have happened on that tour
37:35that sealed her fate,
37:37and the missing phone's all we've got left.
37:39Well, yeah, but we don't even have that.
37:41And if your theory is correct,
37:43then the killer would have almost certainly gotten rid of it by now.
37:47Alright, then.
37:48What if we used basic critical thinking
37:50to work out the most likely scenario
37:52of what that photo might have been
37:54without actually seeing the photo itself?
37:58Well, yeah, that would be quite something, Chief, wouldn't it?
38:01And how exactly would we do that?
38:10We could take the tour.
38:13I'll lead the way.
38:15You get the photos from their website.
38:17They're on your phone.
38:24MUSIC PLAYS
38:49The next one is King's College.
38:54Um...
38:55King's College is that way, Chief.
38:59Wait, I thought you went to university here?
39:01Yes.
39:03Just checking it hadn't...
39:05moved.
39:07What, since 1441?
39:10Yes.
39:24MUSIC CONTINUES
39:41This is it.

39:54MUSIC CONTINUES
40:24Now, that's a statistically significant number of coincidences.
40:29What? What is?
40:31Three.
40:32Which basically means they're not.
40:34Not what?
40:35Coincidences.
40:37Do you think we could get everyone back to the church?
40:41And perhaps Chief Constable Ziegler, too?
40:44What? The Chief Constable? Why?
40:47Unfortunately, we need him.
40:49Plus, he seemed keen to see me perform miracles.
40:52Seems as good a place as any.
40:54MUSIC CONTINUES
41:23Make this good.
41:31There was a very tough question at the heart of this case.
41:35What could possibly occur during a two-hour walking tour
41:39to turn someone who wasn't a killer at the start of it
41:42into one by the end?
41:44But it turns out it was never a question at all.
41:46It was a riddle.
41:48And like all good riddles, the answer is a trick one,
41:51because actually nothing could do 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.
42:02We were investigating two.
42:05Two?
42:06Yes, Miss Chen, your friends,
42:08and a gentleman by the name of Jordan Halshall.
42:12That's the one they found in the river this morning.
42:15Yes, it is, Mrs Tate.
42:17I believe at that point the speculation was drowning,
42:20but I assume that they've done a...
42:23How did they die test?
42:25Post-mortem.
42:26Post-mortem, since then.
42:29We ham.
42:31Sorry, did I tell you that?
42:33Are you telling me you know who did it?
42:35I do, yes.
42:36In fact, I should be able to get your confession in a minute.
42:40Hang on.
42:42When you're investigating two cases
42:44but you only think you're investigating one,
42:47nothing is going to make any sense.
42:49Instead, it becomes a lateral thinking puzzle.
42:52You have to recognise that something is missing
42:55and 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.
43:05Enough to demonstrate that there's a high likelihood
43:08that they're not coincidences at all.
43:10In this instance, the first coincidence
43:12was the location of the final photo stop on the tour.
43:16Mallard's Way.
43:18Site of the very development
43:20that the ill-fated Mr Halshaw had been camping out in.
43:24A development that would be perfectly framed
43:26in the background of any photograph you might take in that spot.
43:30Which, of course, Miss Rowlands did.
43:34Coincidence number two,
43:36on the one and only key piece of evidence
43:39that was missing from her crime scene,
43:41her phone.
43:44A development which was also accompanied by a small sign.
43:48The inscription upon which gives us our third coincidence.
43:54Protected by Cambridge Complete Security.
44:04Your connection to both events
44:07is a coincidence too far, Mr Tate.
44:11So 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.
44:21I see that stain's still there.
44:24Am I to take it the uniform still hasn't been dry-cleaned?
44:29Am I also right in assuming
44:31that you were wearing it on the day in question?
44:34I think what DCI Taylor's trying to tell you
44:36is that if you had any form of physical contact with Mr Halshaw,
44:39a confrontation perhaps, a struggle,
44:42then even something as small as a single flake of skin
44:45on that uniform would prove it.
44:48Do we need to send it for testing, or...?
45:00There were empty cans.
45:04Blankets, needles.
45:07I assumed some junkie had broken in and was squatting there.
45:16Then he came back, physically attacked me.
45:21He was so out of it,
45:23I don't even think he understood what he was doing.
45:29I didn't mean to hurt him.
45:37I got an arm around him, tried to hold him up.
45:49I just wanted him to stop.
45:58But instead...
46:03It was self-defence.
46:07It was self-defence.
46:10It wasn't your fault.
46:12You didn't need...
46:14You should have called the police, explained it all.
46:17They would have...
46:18And the money?
46:22Jordan Halshaw took Ā£8,000 from his father's safe
46:25on the day he disappeared.
46:27It was in a bag.
46:30And now?
46:32Hidden at home.
46:36What?
46:39Adrian?
46:41Why?
46:42Look, I'm sorry, but what exactly does any of this have to do with Megan?
46:46Yes, good question, Mr Northey.
46:48You see, we were acting under the assumption
46:51that the motive for her murder must have somehow formed during the tour.
46:55But we never thought to ask which tour.
47:02Because, of course, they take place twice a day, seven days a week,
47:05and they always use the same photo stubs.
47:14You can't have been certain whether your deed had been captured on camera.
47:19But you also couldn'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.
47:32I had different plans for our anniversary.
47:35Bigger ones, better ones.
47:37But I had to try and protect us.
47:42I spent that whole trip watching her.
47:46Waiting for her to put that bag down and turn away just once.
47:49Just for one moment.
47:53But she never did.
47:56Not till right at the very end.
48:02I'm sorry.
48:14Let me help.
48:17Oh, thank you.
48:27Can I have it, please?
48:29Give me the code.
48:30What? No, give me it back.
48:35Don't! Don't!
48:59Don't!
49:29Don't!
49:31Don't!
49:56I never wanted to hurt her.
50:01I never wanted to hurt anybody.
50:04But with everything we went through last year,
50:06and for that money to just fall into my lap like that...
50:13I 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. No, no.
50:30One of you, please.
50:33Please stand up, sir.
50:36Adrian Tate, I am arresting you on suspicion of murder.
50:39You do not have to say anything,
50:41but anything you do say may be held against you in court.
50:46So lovely.
50:48Oh, Jesus.
50:50Oh, Jesus.
51:03Well, now, that's over with.
51:06We should probably...
51:09I was engaged.
51:13She died.
51:17I'm so sorry.
51:21Her name was Mandy.
51:23Mandy Ziegler.
51:28As in...
51:32You helped her 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,
51:43but now the only thing we have in common
51:46is a shared grief and...
51:51I don't want anyone ever suggesting I used that
51:55to further my career or to take advantage.
51:59And believe me, if they knew, they would.
52:02I understand.
52:05Thanks, Guff.
52:21Oh, that's better.
52:25Do you not think I could...
52:27feel a little better?
52:30No.
52:31No.
52:32No.
52:33No.
52:34No.
52:35No.
52:36No.
52:37No.
52:38No.
52:39No.
52:40No.
52:41No.
52:42No.
52:43No.
52:44No.
52:45No.
52:46No.
52:47No.
52:48No.
52:49Do you think I could phase in the idea of James wearing glasses?
52:54And perhaps stopping taking sugar?
53:02He's dead.
53:07He can't be.
53:10He... he is.
53:13Um...
53:15He was found...
53:20hanging in his cell this morning.
53:25Wait.
53:28You mean the burglar?
53:30Yes, of course I mean the burglar.
53:31What else did you think I meant?
53:34What's going on? What happened?
53:36The man they arrested for the Sinclair murder has...
53:39has killed himself.
53:41Maybe he didn't.
53:43What if I caused this? What if he's dead because of me?
53:45I don't see how you could.
53:46I was supposed to talk to him today.
53:48What if they knew that?
53:50They?
53:51Yes, they. Them.
53:53Lucy, perhaps we should...
53:55They must have followed me.
53:56Tailed me to her house.
53:58Lucy, no, that doesn't make any...
54:00Could be watching us now.
54:01Oh my God, can you see anyone?
54:02All right, stop.
54:03Just... just stop.
54:05Please.
54:06Look, nobody was...
54:08Please.
54:10Nobody was tailing you and nobody is watching you, okay?
54:13If they wanted to follow anyone, it would be James.
54:16Wouldn't it?
54:17Or who they think is James.
54:19Why would they follow his wife?
54:21It doesn't make any sense.
54:23Lucy, the...
54:25the man was facing life in prison
54:27for a crime he didn't commit.
54:29What happened is tragic, but...
54:32it hardly needs a grand conspiracy to explain it.
54:36Something is being covered up here, we know that,
54:39but shadowy figures orchestrating a suicide
54:45inside a guarded prison cell?
54:48No, it's too much.
54:50It's... it's too...
54:53Do you really believe that?
54:55I really do.
54:57You're not just saying what you think I want to hear.
55:00I think I've already proved I'm rubbish at that.
55:04Oh, poor woman.
55:09I know.
55:19Do you want me to get you a coffee?
55:23You make awful coffee.
55:33Come on, then.
56:33Come on.
56:59Do me a favour, John. Don't solve any murders today.
57:02I'll try really hard not to.
57:04Did you see it?
57:06No. But I heard it.
