00:00Next carriage, sir!
00:19All right, all right, okay, come on, clear the way of peace, clear, thank you.
00:27You can tell me what happened?
00:29We all came in here for lunch.
00:30We went into a tunnel when we came out the other side.
00:33There he was.
00:34Can I ask you all to wait in the next carriage, please?
00:36Do as the inspector asks.
00:48Excellent job, by the way.
00:51One morning in the month of June, down by a rolling river, there he tried, with chance to stay, and he beheld his lover.
01:06Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown, her hair and ringlets hanging down.
01:12She's a lovely face, without a frown, just as the tide was flowing.
01:16All right, everyone.
01:42You can get on with the rest of your Saturday, but we've got a full dress rehearsal tomorrow, so don't be late.
01:47You all right for any costume, nips and tucks tomorrow?
01:50I'll bring my box.
01:52Thank you so much for doing this.
01:54Sorry it was all a bit last minute.
01:56No, you're very welcome.
01:57You made for an interesting weekend.
01:59Any news on Terry and Lynn?
02:01Well, the embassy's arranged for a new passport, and there's a flight the day after tomorrow, so they should make the actual night.
02:07But if you can stand in again for tomorrow's dress rehearsal, that will really help.
02:10Time free?
02:11Well, I'll have to check my crowded social calendar, but I'll do my best.
02:15You're a star.
02:17Hear that?
02:19The director called me a star.
02:25And here they are, our famous Inspector O'Keefe, Lady Wiggum.
02:32You did a wonderful job, you know, didn't they, Katie?
02:35Kate, your line, do as the inspector asks, perhaps a tad more urgency.
02:42There we go.
02:43I'm just trying to get it right, George.
02:44Esther's only standing in, Katie.
02:47Even so.
02:48And my name is Kate.
02:50I'll try harder, Kate.
02:54Anyone fancy a quick one?
02:56As the new boy, I feel I should buy you all a drink.
02:59Well, if you're paying.
03:02Excuse me.
03:03Not me, thanks.
03:05I've got a hungry teenager waiting to be fed.
03:07I want to go over my lines again.
03:08Home for me to have fun.
03:11Looks like a cheap night, then.
03:12See you all tomorrow.
03:14Don't be late.
03:15Toot, toot!
03:18Is it too late to change the murder victim?
03:22She's a bit full of herself.
03:24Had an audition for Emmerdale.
03:26Now she thinks she's Jodie Dunch.
03:30Ooh.
03:31Is he part of the play?
03:32He's rather pretty for an engine driver.
03:35No, I don't think so.
03:36Well, maybe he's Lady Wickham's secret lover.
03:39Well, more to the point.
03:41Do you think he'd let me take a look at the engine?
03:43No harm in asking.
03:44Well, I could do it for you.
03:46No, it's OK.
03:48I can manage.
03:52Are you the driver?
03:54Not exactly.
03:55I'm the fireman.
03:57Kieran.
03:57Kieran Fish.
03:59I look after the boiler.
04:00Harry, there's the driver.
04:04Ah.
04:04I was hoping to take a look around.
04:07Go on.
04:08Jump on.
04:09Can I?
04:09This is amazing.
04:20My granddad used to drive these back in the day.
04:23I've left them ever since.
04:25All the gauges on the left there, that's my stuff.
04:28Keeping the boiler at temperature for when we set off.
04:30Harry works the throttle and the brakes.
04:32Very much a two-man operation.
04:33Doesn't work otherwise.
04:35Ah.
04:38May I?
04:40All right, yourself out.
04:41All right.
05:03Help.
05:04All right.
05:06Help.
05:07Help.
05:07Help.
05:08Get off my train.
05:26Sounded like you were having fun.
05:28The driver seemed a bit cross.
05:30But yes.
05:31Something else ticked off the bucket list.
05:33I know we're related, but you're table blocking.
05:48Hmm?
05:48You've been here for three hours, and you haven't actually bought anything.
05:52I'm shopping, dear.
05:53For what?
05:54A man.
05:55Excuse me?
05:56Elsie Relish at the farm shop told me about this new app.
05:59It's called Silver Heart.
06:01For people of a certain age looking for companionship.
06:04It's rather like window shopping.
06:05If you don't like the look of them, you double tap and they go in the bin.
06:08But if you do, you swipe up and they go in your shopping basket.
06:12You're not actually buying them.
06:14Heavens no.
06:14It's a metaphorical shopping basket.
06:17At least I hope it is.
06:18Just for companionship?
06:20Well, Elsie uses hers for casual sex.
06:22But I'd just like someone to help me walk the dog.
06:24You haven't got a dog?
06:27Well, no.
06:28But I put one on my profile.
06:30I thought it made me sound warmer.
06:33I called him Humphrey.
06:35So, you're using an imaginary dog named after my fiancé to lure men back to the cottage?
06:41Yes, dear.
06:42Hello.
06:43Ah!
06:44How was it?
06:46Margot said I was very convincing.
06:48Playing the part of a detective.
06:50Ah, yes.
06:51I see what you mean.
06:53I'm sure you were amazing.
06:54Ooh, you're huge.
06:55Are you okay, Anne?
06:56Mm-hmm?
06:57She's shopping.
06:58Oh, no.
06:59He's got a lazy eye.
07:01I'd never know if he's paying attention.
07:02Hmm.
07:03You know, it's hard to think of your mum as someone's girlfriend.
07:23A bit like trying to imagine Donald Trump ice skating.
07:25Does it bother you?
07:26A bit.
07:28I mean, it's three years since we lost Dad, so...
07:32I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose.
07:34But you are?
07:36I just need to get my head around it.
07:38Hmm.
07:40I think I'm more worried that she's doing it online.
07:43What if she's catfished?
07:46Oh.
07:47Meet someone pretending to be someone they're not.
07:50Okay.
07:51Oh, well, I could talk to her if you like.
07:53Explain the perils of online dating from a police perspective.
07:56Good idea.
07:58Might make her more careful.
08:00Consider it done.
08:02Now, I think there must be something in the air.
08:04Your mum looking for love?
08:06You and I doing date nights?
08:08Well, we Lloyds are very romantic, I'll have you know.
08:11Indeed you are.
08:12Though I'm not sure how many date nights we'll get we're allowed to foster.
08:16Next steps are interviews and a home visit.
08:19She thinks everything's on track.
08:21Good.
08:22I must confess I am really excited now it's happening.
08:25Although I am a little bit, um...
08:26Me too.
08:31Though if it cuts down on our date nights, you'd better make the most of this one.
08:37Absolutely.
08:37See how you get on tonight?
08:57I can always let it out a bit more.
08:59Ow!
09:01Oh, sorry.
09:04Right, everyone.
09:06Final dress rehearsal.
09:08Next time we do it, we'll be in front of paying guests.
09:10So, let's not leave anything in the locker.
09:13Yes!
09:13To be clear, it ceased, it was seen alive and well at the very moment the train entered the tunnel.
09:35And yet, by the time it re-emerged from the tunnel,
09:41he was dead.
09:42He's having the line, mate.
09:55Had a call about daybreak.
09:57Okay, mate.
09:58In the water, everyone.
09:59This is Dean Plyer, the last tunnel before shift in Arbat.
10:02He was on the wind.
10:08And when I saw him, I fell at his feet.
10:12Right hand upon me, said to him,
10:19The home would have to be broken.
10:23Hold your positions, I'm feeling wrong.
10:28I'm a bad kind of frist.
10:32So, through the cliff, I'm a bit of grief.
10:38But nothing is working to move from the cure.
10:44Anne, would you say you were, uh, close?
11:00This heat is interminable.
11:02I need a glass of water.
11:03It's clear that everyone in this carat was also in the buffet car at the very moment the train entered the first tunnel.
11:24So, it is equally clear that the murderer, someone sat in front of me now.
11:33Sir, I think you need to come and see this.
11:35Oh, that's not your line.
11:38He's dead.
11:39No, that's not it either.
11:41Margot, keep everyone in here.
11:44Cut!
11:44Uh, Esther.
11:58He's really dead.
11:59I know.
12:01The last tunnel.
12:03Someone must have sneaked back in here.
12:04Which means, one of those people in there, really is the murderer.
12:14Captain, I want everyone off the platform.
12:35I've let all the players go, but made it clear we'll need to talk to them again.
12:43Good, thank you.
12:45Platform's clear, sir.
12:46Just to press outside.
12:47Okay, thanks.
12:48Have we searched the train?
12:49Yes, sir.
12:50Only three carriages were open.
12:52The one used as the backstage area, the buffet car, and the passenger carriage used for the performance.
12:58The other one was locked.
12:59What about train staff?
13:00There was an engine driver and a fireman.
13:03I talked to them both, but they didn't see or hear anything unusual.
13:07And we're together in the engine cab the whole time.
13:09Which means our killer has to be one of the Shipton Abbot players.
13:12My thoughts exactly, sir.
13:13Well, hopefully we can rule out three of those.
13:18Can we?
13:19You, me, and Margo, sir?
13:21Right.
13:23It's a good point, Sergeant.
13:24If we rule out you, me, and Margo, that leaves us with four suspects, and any one of them could have sneaked back in here when the train went through the last tunnel.
13:38Hmm.
13:38Do you know how hard it is to stab someone in the back?
13:42I've never tried it, but not easy, I bet.
13:44No, it is not.
13:44The muscles in the upper part of the back are much thicker than most people imagine.
13:48It takes a great deal of force to penetrate them.
13:51Our victim was a big man, yet there's no sign of any kind of a struggle.
13:54It was just that he was standing with his back to whoever stabbed him.
13:59At the buffet table?
14:00Well, but if that's the case, then aren't we missing something?
14:08There's no blood.
14:09Got these from the Shipton Players website.
14:18I went to school with him.
14:20Used to pick his nose and put it in his inkwell.
14:26What's an inkwell?
14:27It's a little pot you put your ink in.
14:31Through your pen.
14:33Like a quill.
14:35Do you want a smack in the mouth?
14:37Hmm?
14:39Shipton and Abbot Police Station.
14:42Can one of you two phone the Chief Superintendent?
14:45Why?
14:46Presser having a field day.
14:48It's escalated from local papers to the nationals.
14:52I mean, an actual murder on a murder mystery night is bad enough,
14:56but it happening under the noses of two serving police officers
14:59has got them all whipped up into a frenzy.
15:01Well, that's one for you, Sergeant.
15:03I'll call her.
15:04Margot.
15:10Hmm?
15:10The Shipton and Abbot Players.
15:12Tell me about them.
15:14Right.
15:16Kate Potts.
15:18Wannabe actress.
15:19Fresh out of drama school.
15:21Likes the sound of her own voice.
15:23But armless enough.
15:24Polly Deakins just reported a peeping Tom.
15:29Well, she's got nerve.
15:31All the curtain twitching she does.
15:33Even so, better go check it out.
15:35Yeah.
15:37George Harris, widower.
15:40Lost his wife Louise about six years ago,
15:42so joined every group and activity in Shipton Abbot.
15:46Moans at all of them.
15:47Vivian Bishfield.
15:49She's a biology teacher at the college.
15:52I think she moved here from Exeter about five or six years ago.
15:57Art of gold.
15:58Noah Culpepper.
16:00Bit of a geek.
16:02But armless.
16:03Divorced.
16:04His wife Janet ran off with his best mate.
16:07Sally.
16:09And were they all friends with Paul Yellen, our victim?
16:11No, that's the thing, see.
16:12None of us were.
16:13He only just joined us a few days earlier.
16:16I think he just bought a house here.
16:18So he's not local?
16:19No, I'm pretty sure he said he was from Hastings.
16:22I mean, that's why he was our victim.
16:24It's a tradition.
16:26The newest member always gets to play the murder victim.
16:29Yes, unfortunately in this case, quite literally.
16:32And when was this exactly, Polly?
16:55Last night, after dark.
16:59Ten, maybe?
17:01How's your mother?
17:02Oh, she's good, thanks.
17:04She's still cleaning up at the school?
17:06Not anymore, no.
17:08She got a job at the card shop.
17:10And you say this man was standing across the road.
17:14Across the road, but looking this way.
17:18She's still with that waste of space with the motorbike.
17:22Do you mean my dad?
17:24Yep, she's still with him.
17:26Erm, but he hasn't got a bike anymore.
17:29He's got a high-end eye.
17:31Hmm.
17:32Never liked him.
17:34He was a foot-tapper.
17:36Never trust a man who taps his foot when you'm talking to him.
17:39Right, so, he was across the road, but looking at you.
17:44I didn't say he was looking at me.
17:46I said he was looking over this way.
17:48But he was up to no good.
17:50You could tell.
17:51How long would you say he was there?
17:53A woman.
17:54Over an hour.
17:56He only left cos some woman caught him nosing about.
17:59Gave him a right telling off.
18:01Which woman?
18:03No idea.
18:05Like I said, it was dark.
18:06Could you describe evil of him?
18:11He was medium height.
18:14Had a woolly hat on.
18:16She were medium height.
18:18No hat.
18:24There's not much more we can achieve till the lab's open in the morning,
18:28but, erm, let's talk to Hastings police
18:30so what they can tell us about the victim.
18:31Right.
18:32So,
18:33have you got anything exciting planned for this evening?
18:36Ooh.
18:36Beans on toast.
18:38Bath.
18:39Then help Zoe with her CV.
18:41Oh, is she looking for a job?
18:42Huh.
18:43Well, I'm doing most of the looking, if I'm honest.
18:45She's a good kid, but like every other 16-year-old,
18:48she's just on her phone all day.
18:50Honestly, I wanted to get out and meet people.
18:52Yes, the curse of the World Wide Web.
18:54I've got a similar problem with Martha's mum.
18:57She's looking for love online.
18:59I think the plan tonight
19:01is to talk her out of it.
19:04You're not talking me out of it.
19:07Even after all the things Humphrey's just told you?
19:09He made them up.
19:10He didn't.
19:11A woman who just happened to be my age, living in Devon,
19:15agrees to meet a stranger in a pub,
19:16only to discover an axe hidden under his coat
19:19which he sees poking out when he goes to the bathroom.
19:21Too much.
19:22Too much.
19:23Besides which, I've already got a match.
19:26What?
19:27His name's Oliver.
19:28He's 63.
19:29He has his own hair, teeth, and house,
19:32and we're having dinner tomorrow evening.
19:34Tomorrow?
19:34He's coming here.
19:36What?
19:36He wants to sample my tagine.
19:39I bet he does.
19:40And what if he wants to meet Humphrey?
19:42Why would he want to meet Humphrey?
19:43Your imaginary dog.
19:45You have an imaginary dog.
19:46I'll say he's at the vet's.
19:49Look, I know you're worried about me, Morty,
19:52and that's very sweet,
19:53but you can't expect me to be on my own
19:56for the time I've got left.
19:58Well, you've got us.
19:59You've got your own life to live.
20:01What if you move away?
20:02We won't.
20:03You might.
20:04And then what would I do?
20:05Leave here and move in with you?
20:07No.
20:12I mean, we'd love you to.
20:14If we did.
20:16Go, I mean, somewhere.
20:17But we're not.
20:18But if we did.
20:20So when I say no, I actually mean,
20:23yes, if we did, but we're not.
20:26Which is why I know...
20:27We just want you to be happy.
20:29Good.
20:31Because having Oliver here for dinner tomorrow evening
20:33will make me very happy indeed.
20:36I suppose I shouldn't worry.
20:43After all, I didn't know what she got up to
20:45when we were in London.
20:46Well, exactly.
20:47And I'm sure Oliver is a thoroughly decent chap.
20:50Yes.
20:51And if he's not,
20:52we can murder him and dump his body in the river.
20:54Yes, agreed.
20:55I've got nothing to say,
21:13and the detective is here,
21:15so you're wasting your time.
21:16Oh, and there's no tear, Margo.
21:25Okay, so we're waiting for the full post-mortem
21:28and toxicology reports,
21:29but the preliminary autopsy came through first thing.
21:32It confirms the blade puncture in the right lung
21:34as probable cause of death.
21:36There's no other injuries of note,
21:38so no visible signs of a struggle.
21:47Harry Bishfield.
21:51Hello.
21:52We met briefly the day before yesterday.
21:55Yes, I was with the...
21:57Yeah, yeah, I remember.
22:02Yes, right.
22:04Sorry.
22:04Am I right in thinking the train didn't stop at all
22:07during the dress rehearsal yesterday?
22:09We had a call to slow down
22:10for one of the tunnels.
22:12Didn't we, boss?
22:12Yeah.
22:13And it was reported debris.
22:14When you say slow down,
22:15enough time for someone to jump on the train
22:17and off again?
22:19Maybe.
22:21Did either of you see anyone on or near the track
22:24during the journey yesterday?
22:26Not me.
22:34Sir.
22:34Oh, OK.
22:39Thanks, gents.
22:42It's just the super.
22:46Um, can I just say,
22:49uh, you look very...
22:51good.
22:52Uh, I mean,
22:55it's smart.
22:56Uh, everything is, um,
23:00pressed, um, nicely.
23:07I'm just gonna...
23:08Um...
23:09Sorry.
23:13Mum.
23:13I hear you've decided not to run your murder room
23:17from regional HQ.
23:18Well, it's early days yet, ma'am.
23:19We're still gathering evidence.
23:20I'm not sure what the murder rates are at the Met these days,
23:22Inspector, or the Caribbean, for that matter.
23:24But thankfully, here,
23:26it's rare enough
23:27for us to take a murder inquiry very seriously.
23:29As do I.
23:32Can I be frank?
23:34Of course.
23:35This whole thing has caused quite a stir.
23:38And because of the media interest,
23:40the powers that be
23:41are particularly keen
23:42for an early resolution.
23:44I understand, ma'am.
23:46I hope you do, Inspector.
23:47I really do.
23:48Because all eyes are on you.
23:51And given your station house is under review,
23:54there may be more riding on this case than you know.
24:09Have I read somewhere that
24:11whatever you wear on the first date
24:13reflects your personality?
24:14I thought you said it wasn't a date.
24:16Well, it isn't.
24:16It's an introductory meeting,
24:18but I think the same rules apply.
24:19What about my camel trouser suit?
24:22Isn't that a bit formal?
24:24Oh, maybe.
24:27Look, you're cooking a meal.
24:28You just need something casual,
24:30something you feel comfortable in.
24:31I don't really look like a frog, do I?
24:33You won't think you're from me.
24:35Long, Mum, I've got to go.
24:36Just be yourself.
24:38Love you, Mottie.
24:39You too.
24:40Bye.
24:41Bye.
24:47Peter.
24:47Noah.
24:48Peter's the name of the train conductor,
24:51what I was playing.
24:53I played in Scottish.
24:55Toot, toot.
24:56Heh.
24:58Yesterday at the dress rehearsal,
24:59did you notice anything unusual?
25:02No.
25:03Got to the train,
25:05and Viv did her final costume fitting.
25:08Oh, erm...
25:09Vivian Bishfield.
25:10She played Jill Bond.
25:12Right.
25:13Erm, and then what?
25:13But you was there.
25:16Well, tell me anyway.
25:19Well, I moved to the buffet car,
25:22George helped Paul,
25:23put a fake knife in place,
25:25Paul laid down,
25:26Margot shouted action,
25:28Katie screamed.
25:30Then I was sent by Lady Wickham,
25:35Sergeant Williams,
25:36to fetch Inspector O'Keefe.
25:39Yo.
25:39Here.
25:41At any point after the interview scene,
25:43did you go back into the buffet car?
25:45No.
25:46Why would I?
25:47And on the day of the dress rehearsal,
25:49did Paul Yellen seem different to you
25:51than the day before?
25:52That's mine.
25:53I didn't really talk to him.
25:55I mean,
25:56I tried to help everyone,
25:57you know,
25:58with a bit of direction here and there,
25:59but I had no call to do so with him.
26:01He was just the body.
26:04Quite.
26:06I saw him talking to George, though.
26:09Did you, er,
26:10hear what they were talking about?
26:12Or Goyle.
26:14Turns out we were both supporters.
26:16You're not buying that.
26:17It belongs on a shelf.
26:20I'd met him a few days ago in Kitty J's.
26:23He said he was new to the area.
26:25So I suggested he come to the players.
26:27Get to know people.
26:28Told him he didn't have to worry about lines or anything.
26:31Because as a new boy,
26:32he'd just be a dead body.
26:34Turns out I was right.
26:37That's odd.
26:38What do you think?
26:39The most miserable man in the world
26:41working in the toy shop?
26:43No.
26:43Paul Yellen supporting Plymouth Argar
26:45when he lived in Hastings.
26:48Who's next?
26:49Erm,
26:50Vivian Bishfield.
26:53So you arranged all the costumes?
27:04Well, the players have their own stock of costumes,
27:07but they're all a bit old,
27:08so I just do running repairs.
27:10My mum's a seamstress.
27:13Something to remember about amateur dramatics.
27:15Never let on you have a particular skill.
27:17Your husband, Harry, is the train driver?
27:21A case in point.
27:23At drinks one evening,
27:24he happened to mention that he drove a steam train.
27:26Well,
27:27Margot was on him like a shot.
27:29Yes, right.
27:30So there was nothing about Paul Yellen
27:32at the dress rehearsal
27:33that struck you as being unusual in any way?
27:38Er, no.
27:39But, er,
27:41I didn't really know him well enough
27:42to notice even if there was.
27:45Right.
27:46Not one of the neighbours
27:47saw or heard this mystery bloke.
27:49Or the woman that chased him off.
27:51He's probably just a figment
27:53of Polly Deacon's imagination.
27:56Now, Margot,
27:57what have we got on the deceased?
27:59If he lived in Hastings,
28:01he must have been living in a cave somewhere.
28:03He's not on the voting register,
28:05council records,
28:06HMRC,
28:07or any other official list.
28:09I mean,
28:09there's nothing on the PNC either.
28:11Nor social media.
28:12I'm going back to see Polly.
28:14Didn't you say
28:14he just bought a house
28:15and shipped to Nabbit?
28:16Maybe talk to the solicitors
28:18who did the conveyancing?
28:19Right, yeah.
28:19Oh,
28:20and the engine driver
28:20said something about debris on the line
28:22which made the train slow down.
28:24Maybe check out what that was.
28:25It might be significant.
28:27The problem is,
28:29the why can sometimes lead you
28:31to finding a who
28:32and then eventually how
28:33or a how
28:34can sometimes point you
28:35to a who
28:36and then a why.
28:38But we haven't got a why.
28:40I'm not even sure
28:41if we've got a how.
28:45The autopsy said
28:46the knife pierced the lung.
28:48But where was the blood
28:48around the body?
28:49What are we missing?
28:51Everything by the sound of it.
28:53We've had the press
28:54outside all morning.
28:56HQ think we might need
28:57to do a press conference.
28:59A public appeal
29:00might be an option
29:01if we can't find out
29:02more about Paul Yellen.
29:03True.
29:04Did we check his home?
29:05Yeah, we sent a team there.
29:07The house was empty.
29:07They got in
29:08and did a quick search.
29:09Nothing of note found.
29:10Then maybe we should
29:11take another look.
29:13Come along, Sergeant.
29:14A couple of letters,
29:19a log book
29:20and a new credit card.
29:22Nothing upstairs,
29:23but it's clear
29:24only one bedroom's being used.
29:26Yes.
29:27Down here's pretty much the same.
29:30Ready meals?
29:32For one.
29:34One mug, one plate.
29:35Everything's pretty basic.
29:37No family photos,
29:38nothing personal at all
29:39as far as I can see.
29:40seems he had a very lonely life.
29:44How'd you like the sound
29:58down those four letterwoods?
30:07You make me look so clever
30:10as I fall to the earth.
30:14I want to walk through the morning
30:21and I've not seen the night.
30:24I want to hold on to your dad
30:27and make you feel all right.
30:30But dad, I want you to come
30:32to stay with me.
30:34Here's my mobile number, buddy.
30:35If he turns up again,
30:37call me.
30:38Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
30:53Not sure what you're thinking.
30:56That whoever was watching
30:58from across the street
30:59wasn't watching Polly,
31:01he was watching Paul Yellen.
31:03I was just about to say that.
31:04OK, so I spoke to the solicitor
31:12who dealt with the house.
31:14Paul Yellen didn't buy it.
31:16He inherited it
31:16from the previous owner.
31:18And Mrs. Sarah Scarcroft,
31:20who left everything
31:21to Yellen and her will.
31:22Find out what Paul Yellen
31:24was to her, please, Margo.
31:25Kirby, what do we know
31:26about the man
31:27who was watching the house?
31:28Sir, medium-high,
31:30wearing a woolly hat.
31:32It's not much.
31:33What about the woman
31:34you were seen with?
31:36Same, without the hat.
31:39She's shipped to Nabbok
31:40Police Station.
31:41Just a second.
31:45Chief Superintendent Woods.
31:59Mum.
32:03Good evening, Selwyn.
32:10Saved to retreat.
32:13Stole it from Margo's desk.
32:19Selwyn?
32:20Over here.
32:22Oh.
32:27Hello?
32:27What are we doing?
32:38He's in there.
32:40Who is?
32:41Oliver.
32:42I saw a man in the window.
32:44She must have sneaked him in.
32:45Why would she sneak him in
32:46when she's already told us
32:47he's coming?
32:49Well, she didn't introduce me.
32:50That's as good as sneaking.
32:51Oh, you sit here.
32:54I'm going over.
32:56To do what?
33:00To do what?
33:01To do what?
33:01Hello.
33:19Can I borrow a cup of sugar?
33:35And some bread?
33:41In a lightbulb.
33:48Anything else?
33:49I know he's in there.
33:51So?
33:52Why are you hiding him?
33:53I'm not.
33:54He was dropped off by taxi, walked through the front door, and he's now sitting in the lounge
33:59with a rum coke.
34:00Well, let me in then.
34:01So you can grill him like he's one of Humphrey's suspects.
34:03Absolutely not.
34:05Fine.
34:06But if he murders you, don't come crying to me.
34:09I won't.
34:11I just think it's the weirdest job I've ever worked on.
34:22A murder victim killed while playing the part of a murder victim.
34:27And despite the fact he was stabbed in the back forcefully enough to puncture a lung,
34:32there was no blood.
34:36There was no blood.
34:38Not even a trace.
34:40And the worst thing is, there's so much media interest, I've got the Chief Superintendent
34:44constantly on my back.
34:46Oh, um, Esther, she's looking for a job for her daughter.
34:49I said to get her to give you a call.
34:51Martha?
34:53Yes, that's fine.
34:54OK.
34:55There's a car!
34:57That was great.
34:58Well, yeah, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
34:59You did.
35:00Bye, love.
35:01I can see you.
35:05Oh, hello.
35:06So, how did it go?
35:07It was fine.
35:08He's perfectly polite, well-mannered, cleared his plate and didn't overstay his welcome.
35:10So, are you gonna see him again?
35:11No.
35:12I got the ick.
35:13I got the ick.
35:14I got the ick.
35:15I got the ick.
35:16I got the ick.
35:17I got to learn all the terminology, darling.
35:21I can see you!
35:23Oh!
35:25Oh, hello!
35:27So, how did it go?
35:29It was fine. He's perfectly polite,
35:31well-mannered, cleared his plate,
35:33and didn't overstay his welcome.
35:35So, you gonna see him again?
35:37No. I got the ick.
35:39Ick? You've got to learn all the terminology, darling.
35:41Ick means you've gone off someone.
35:43He slurped his soup.
35:45That's it.
35:47Oh, that's enough. Still,
35:49there's plenty more fish in the sea.
35:51Or, as your nan says,
35:53every pot has a lid.
35:57After all,
35:59look at you two.
36:15Morning, sir. We've got news on call yelling.
36:17Good.
36:19Except, he's not Paul Yellen.
36:21His real name is Aidan Scarcroft.
36:23He was Sarah Scarcroft's son,
36:25which is why she left him, her house and her will.
36:27He changed his name by deed poll
36:29before moving to Shipton Abbot, which explains
36:31the new passport, logbook, and credit card
36:33we found at his house.
36:35Margot's running a check on his real name now.
36:37There's something else that's a bit weird, sir.
36:39We spoke to the steam train operator
36:41about the debris on the track
36:43that slowed the train down.
36:45Now, they said there were no reports of debris
36:47in any of the tunnels.
36:51Then why would they say there was?
36:53It's your team.
37:05So, you know, brickwork falls down on the track sometimes.
37:09Yeah.
37:10Ah, thank you, love.
37:11We were at a debris fall in just last week.
37:14Thought it best to be careful.
37:15Yes.
37:16Why'd you ask?
37:17Well, if the train was specifically told to slow down,
37:21that might be significant.
37:23Well, someone wanting to get on board while it was moving.
37:26Perhaps.
37:27Would you see someone if they had?
37:30Well, I doubt it, you know.
37:32We were quite a ways up front,
37:33so we wouldn't really see what's going on in the back carriages.
37:36No, no.
37:38Well, it was a bit of a long shot, um,
37:40but always worth asking the question.
37:42Yeah, sorry I'm not much help.
37:46Ah, she's a beauty, isn't she?
37:48Oh, gosh, yes, yes.
37:50You like your trains, then?
37:51Love them.
37:52Particularly steam trains.
37:53Yeah, I think it started when I watched
37:55The Railway Children for the first time.
37:57Even asked my mum if I could change my name to Peter.
38:01Well, um, well, whenever you like, just ask,
38:03and I'll take you out.
38:07Gosh, would you?
38:08Hmm?
38:09Maybe I could bring my fiancée.
38:10We're doing date nights.
38:11Oh, well, it'd be a pleasure.
38:13Well, that is amazing.
38:18Good day.
38:19Another dead end?
38:20Yes, but not a wasted journey.
38:21Oh?
38:22He's gonna let me ride in his engine.
38:24For date night.
38:25Martha's gonna love it.
38:27Yeah.
38:28I'm sure she will, sir.
38:29Okay.
38:30Thanks, Margot.
38:31So, Aidan Scarcroft, a.k.a. Paul Yellen, was released from prison two years ago.
38:39He served a 12-year sentence.
38:40Really?
38:41For what?
38:42Manslaughter.
38:43He was driving three times over the limit and plowed into a group of people waiting at a bus stop.
38:47An elderly woman died, nine others were injured, some quite badly.
38:48They'd pull up the file, would you?
38:49And cross-check the names of the people involved to see if we can find any links to the people on our train.
38:52Exactly.
38:53I understand that.
38:54But Inspector Goodman is an experienced murder detective.
38:57He's been making...
38:59No.
39:00No.
39:01No.
39:02No.
39:03No.
39:04No.
39:05No.
39:06No.
39:07No.
39:08No.
39:09No.
39:10No.
39:11No.
39:12No.
39:13No.
39:14No.
39:15No.
39:16No.
39:17No.
39:18No.
39:19No.
39:20No.
39:21No.
39:22Sir, he's not at the hub.
39:23He's in one of our smaller outposts.
39:31What would you suggest?
39:41Ma'am?
39:42Command have instructed me to move your investigation into the hub.
39:44Wait, no, you can't.
39:45Um, we're making very good...
39:46This is not a subject for discussion, Inspector.
39:49You'll report to the hub at 9am tomorrow morning with whatever you have.
39:52We'll set up a murder room here.
39:54Right.
39:55But I...
39:56I'm sorry.
39:57This isn't a reflection on you.
39:59Or your team.
40:00Isn't it?
40:019am tomorrow morning.
40:0310am tomorrow morning.
40:11Okay?
40:14Hmm?
40:1510pm.
40:1610pm.
40:3210pm.
40:3311pm.
40:3411pm.
40:3611pm.
40:38I think I've got it.
40:49The collision at the bus stop,
40:51it happened in Highbroughton, a village just outside Exeter.
40:54One of the worst injured was an 11-year-old boy,
40:57Christopher Bishfield.
40:58Bishfield?
41:00There were pictures of Vivian and Harry
41:02with a young boy out of the house.
41:04Vivian and Harry moved here from Exeter.
41:07So, Vivian and Harry Bishfield would have been there
41:09when Aidan Scarcroft turned up with George to join the players.
41:13Give me a call when you die now.
41:15All right, I will.
41:16Yeah, love you.
41:19Nice to meet you.
41:20You see, Aidan Scarcroft was here to start a new life.
41:23He didn't recognise the father of the boy he injured.
41:25Why would he?
41:27I don't think they ever met.
41:29But even after 12 years,
41:31they'd never forget the face of the man who ruined their child's life.
41:36And it was that evening that Polly Deacon saw a man
41:40standing across the road from her house.
41:44So he followed Paul Yellen home to get revenge.
41:50So, if Harry Bishfield is our man,
41:54how?
41:56I knew there was a reason that bothered me.
41:58Yes.
42:03The fireman on the train said he had a call about debris on the line.
42:07Yet when we talked to Harry,
42:08he said he slowed the train as a precaution.
42:10Then why would the fireman say they had a call?
42:12Because that's what his engine driver told him.
42:15Kelby,
42:15call the operators.
42:17Ask them what the procedure is if there's debris on the line.
42:19Sir.
42:22Boy,
42:23Harry knew that as they approached the last tunnel before Shifton Abbott,
42:28the murder mystery suspects were in the third carriage being questioned.
42:32To be clear,
42:33the deceased was seen alive and well at the very moment the drain entered the tunnel.
42:37And that the supposed victim, Aiden Scarcroft,
42:42would be in the buffet car alone.
42:43So, first,
42:46he told his fireman that there was a report of debris on the line ahead.
42:50He's having the line, mate.
42:52Okay, mate.
42:53Then what?
42:57Okay, so,
42:59if they suspect debris on the line,
43:02the engine driver slows the train
43:04and the fireman moves to the footplate at the side of the train
43:07to look at the track ahead.
43:09If they're in a tunnel,
43:10it will use a torch.
43:12Yes!
43:14Once Kieran was out of the cab,
43:16Harry slowed the train
43:17and then climbed back across the engine.
43:23He knew exactly how long they would be in the tunnel.
43:26He quickly made his way to the buffet car.
43:34Once done, he had moments to get back to the engine
43:36before they reached the end of the tunnel
43:38and Kieran would notice him missing.
43:43All clear.
43:51That doesn't explain why there was no blood around the body.
43:55No.
43:56No, it doesn't.
43:58But it's enough to bring him in.
44:04He was 11 years old.
44:07Standing at the bus stop by a friend's mum.
44:09They were going into town to go crab fishing on the quay.
44:17Scarcroft was drunk.
44:19Off his head.
44:22Chris was leaning against the wall behind the bus stop.
44:28When the car ploughed through everyone
44:30and entered that wall,
44:32he didn't have a chance.
44:37His legs were shattered.
44:40He had five years of operations.
44:43He was in constant pain.
44:52But me and his mum
44:53watched him go through all that.
44:57It was all how tough it was on him.
44:59That changed him.
45:03It was never the same, not really.
45:04That man,
45:11he stole my son's childhood.
45:18The little boy who left the house that morning.
45:22Excited to be meeting his friends.
45:26It never came home.
45:30It never came home.
45:31And how's he now?
45:40He took his home life.
45:43Six years ago.
45:46That's why we moved here.
45:48I just turned 19.
45:54Your lot said it was suicide.
45:58Just another troubled teenager,
45:59not coping.
46:01But that man,
46:04he killed my son.
46:08Just as sure as if he died that morning.
46:14I killed him the moment he came out of the pub
46:17and got behind that wheel.
46:23So, yes.
46:24I killed him.
46:32But if you want me to be sorry for what I did,
46:36I can't.
46:39Look, I'm not asking anything of you.
46:43To be honest,
46:44I can't imagine the pain
46:45and the torment
46:47you and your family have gone through.
46:49Okay, let's take a break there.
46:58I'm sure you and your lawyer
47:00will want to discuss what's been said here.
47:03I just have one more question.
47:06When you entered the buffet car
47:07and you saw Mr. Scarcroft
47:08standing at the food table,
47:10can you think of any reason
47:11we didn't find any blood there?
47:12Was there something on the floor
47:15you disposed of
47:16or something else?
47:19You weren't standing.
47:22Sorry.
47:23When I went into the buffet car,
47:26he was laying down on the floor.
47:28Why was he already on the floor?
47:40He must have just got back
47:42into position for Act Three.
47:44How likely is that?
47:46Not very.
47:47We know the cause of death
47:48was the knife puncturing his lung
47:49and we know who stabbed him and why,
47:51but something
47:52just doesn't
47:53add up.
47:55We've got the full post
47:58more and back.
47:59Nothing surprising there.
48:02Though there's a marker
48:03in the toxicology report.
48:05I haven't had a chance
48:05to look it up yet.
48:09Look up what?
48:11There were traces of a substance
48:12called curare
48:13in his blood.
48:16Curare?
48:18I know that from somewhere.
48:20I see
48:20you, I think that's right.
48:25Curare!
48:30Oh.
48:32Of course!
48:33There are only two possible reasons
48:35for there to be so little blood
48:37found at the scene
48:38of a stabbing so serious.
48:39If the body was killed
48:40elsewhere and moved.
48:41And the second one?
48:43If the victim
48:44is already dead.
48:47Dead bodies don't bleed.
48:49Yes.
48:49This plaster
48:52found on his hand.
48:56Did it happen on the train?
48:58Yeah.
49:00When we were doing fittings.
49:05Vivian.
49:12See how you get on tonight?
49:14I can always let it out
49:15a bit more.
49:16Ow!
49:17Ow!
49:17Ow!
49:19Sorry.
49:21All right, everyone.
49:23Final dress for your assault.
49:25Next time we do it
49:26we'll be a fun of paying guests.
49:27There was a pin
49:28left in the coffin.
49:29I must have forgotten
49:30to unpin it.
49:31I've got fun.
49:32I've got some blasters.
49:34I'll put some antiseptic on.
49:36Stop it getting infected.
49:42Why?
49:43Because curare only works
49:45when it's injected
49:46directly under the skin.
49:47So I tend to do
49:51running repairs.
49:52Who better than
49:53a biology teacher
49:54to know that curare
49:55is made by boiling
49:55the bark of certain plants.
49:57Amazonian tribes
49:58used it to poison
49:59darts and arrows
50:00when hunting.
50:01It paralyzes muscle tissue,
50:03stops the breathing.
50:05I think Aiden Scarcroft
50:07was already dead
50:08when Harry stabbed him.
50:10I knew how he was
50:13planning on killing him.
50:16I didn't know how
50:17or when.
50:20But I knew he'd do it.
50:23You found him
50:24outside Aiden's house,
50:25didn't you?
50:29What are you doing out here?
50:30You're gonna be saved.
50:31What are you doing here?
50:33Leave me!
50:34Just come home with me now
50:35and let's just forget
50:36all about this.
50:37Go!
50:38You're gonna get into it.
50:38You know what he's gonna have.
50:40Do it, man!
50:41Harry!
50:41Please!
50:42Just come home with me.
50:43He wanted to do it that night.
50:46But there's the thing, you see.
50:49I knew I couldn't stop him.
50:52But I knew he'd get caught.
50:56He's a simple man.
50:58You killed Aiden Scarcroft
51:00to stop your husband
51:01from doing so.
51:02I couldn't think of
51:03any other way.
51:05He's had so much pain
51:07in his life.
51:10He's a good man.
51:13I couldn't see him in prison.
51:15How could I?
51:17Yet you'd risk
51:18the same thing for yourself.
51:20I don't have a life.
51:23Not anymore.
51:24My life ended the day
51:28I buried my baby boy.
51:32And everyone tells you
51:33just take it a day at a time.
51:37So that's what I do.
51:40Go through the motions.
51:44We have to switch off, you see,
51:46because every morning
51:46when you wake up
51:47the pain just comes back.
51:49I'm never free of it.
51:56So do what you want with me.
52:01I won't feel anything.
52:14So now we know
52:15why he was on the floor
52:16when Harry found him.
52:19The poison did its work
52:20while the rest of us
52:22were in the next carriage.
52:25I think he was dead
52:26before he hit the floor.
52:35Harry found Paul Yellen
52:36face down on the floor
52:37and naturally assumed
52:37he'd simply taken up
52:38his position as meta-victim,
52:39making it easy
52:40to plunge a knife
52:41into the back of the man
52:41he held responsible
52:42for the death of his son.
52:44Then he returned to the engine
52:45before his fireman
52:47noticed he had gone.
52:48And as he was already dead,
52:50his heart had stopped pumping.
52:51He didn't bleed out.
52:51Exactly.
52:53Paul Yellen was a man
52:54who was murdered twice.
52:55When this boy
53:24retires from talking
53:25when these ears are tired
53:28of ringing
53:28when my feet get bored
53:31of traveling
53:32and it looks like
53:34it's all unraveling
53:35when this heart's too old
53:37for dreaming
53:38that's when I hear
53:40the angels sing
53:41your lullaby.
53:42It's your lullaby love
53:54that keeps me in trouble.
53:58It's your lullaby love
54:01that's keeping me level.
54:04It's your lullaby love
54:07sometimes I really hate my job.
54:17I know.
54:19What will happen to her?
54:23Well, that depends on the CPS
54:24and who they deem responsible
54:27for Aidan Scarcroft's death.
54:29I'll tell the Chief Super
54:35the good news.
54:36So I spoke to Esther's daughter.
54:54Oh, Zoe.
54:54She'll start next week.
54:56See how we get on.
54:58Great.
54:59Wait.
55:00What are we doing here?
55:02Surprise.
55:09So our mystery date night
55:11is looking at a train.
55:13A steam train.
55:15And minus the murder this time.
55:17Hopefully.
55:18A quick tour and a few photos
55:20and I'll buy you dinner.
55:20Promise.
55:21And isn't it amazing?
55:25Yes, it is.
55:27Thank you for letting us do this
55:29especially given the circumstances.
55:31No worries.
55:32Yes.
55:33Probably know your way around by now.
55:34Yeah.
55:35Kieran will tell you all about the boiler.
55:38Great.
55:44I was telling the inspector
55:46it was my granddad
55:46who got me started.
55:54Now I'll be starting
55:55my driver's exam next month.
55:56Is it supposed to be moving?
56:03Humphrey?
56:10Um...
56:20Um...
56:21Call the restaurants!
56:23Tell them we might be a good lad!
56:33Did you know Ben and Martha were seeing a meeting last night?
56:51Fire.
56:52Stop the car.
56:53Did we just park?
56:54It was my house.
56:54Well, believe it or not, she apparently predicted the fire.
56:57You think it was deliberate, don't you?
56:59Yes, I do.
57:00Martha and I are applying to be foster parents.
57:01She said we seem like ideal candidates.
57:04She has to talk to Humphrey as well, of course.
57:06Oh.
57:07How did it go?
57:08Terribly.
57:10Two predictions that have come true.
57:12You clearly have no understanding at all of what it is I do.
57:15And what is it that you do?
57:16There's a young man here.
57:18Don't.
57:21That's all to come at the later time of 9 o'clock.
57:24New next Friday.
57:26Prime to Sol in the Caribbean.
57:28Death in Paradise on BBC We're playing now.
57:31Press Red.
57:32Coming up here next to mine.
57:33We'll do it.
57:34We'll do it.
57:34We'll do it.
57:35We'll do it.
57:36Thanks for listening.
57:37We'll do it.
57:37And we'll do it.
57:37We'll do it.
57:38We'll do it.
