00:00:00♪
00:00:14And here it is.
00:00:17Bertram's inside. He'll be more than happy to sign your book.
00:00:24Hi there.
00:00:25Oh, wait.
00:00:26Just...
00:00:29That's better.
00:00:30Can't have the great man not looking for the best.
00:00:42One thousand times over.
00:00:43And remember, the treasure is within.
00:00:50Sorry to interrupt, but there's the small matter of the church hire.
00:00:53Oh, my publishers are taking care of expenses.
00:00:57She said you were.
00:00:58You must have misheard, Rev. Easy done in all the excitement.
00:01:14Good afternoon. Help yourself.
00:01:16There you go.
00:01:20It's good to know.
00:01:21More than we catered for.
00:01:24Where's Ludo?
00:01:25Yes.
00:01:26Front row, bang in the middle.
00:01:27Oh, Dad wanted to know if everything's prepped for the quiz night.
00:01:30Tell him it's all in hand.
00:01:41When did you get here?
00:01:43About an hour ago. Had to get the best seats.
00:01:46I want the full wattage, Bertram.
00:01:48Charming, funny, brilliant.
00:01:50Let's put your book back on the map.
00:01:55Hello, hello.
00:01:56Here he is. Mind having your photo taken?
00:01:59Mind. Fill that memory card.
00:02:17Take that silly hat off.
00:02:26Welcome, everyone.
00:02:27As you all know, we're here to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Bertram Jewell's brilliant book, Seeker.
00:02:34A tome of cryptic visual clues that lead to hidden treasure worth a life-changing amount.
00:02:41APPLAUSE
00:02:48Bertram, it's been a decade since your book was first published.
00:02:53And no one is any the closer to finding the treasure.
00:02:56Why do you think that is?
00:03:00It was never meant to be easy.
00:03:03Joking aside, I am glad you mentioned that because today isn't just about an anniversary.
00:03:10I am also here to make an announcement.
00:03:14My esteemed publishers want to reprint Seeker.
00:03:20And, wait for it, the new edition will come with a brand new page.
00:03:28That's right. I've drawn up a new set of clues.
00:03:41So, if there is to be a new version of your book, why are you selling the old version outside?
00:03:46Oh, that book, the original, still contains the solution.
00:03:51If you look hard enough.
00:03:54Does it, though?
00:03:56Only, let me take you back 24 years.
00:04:01To when you were imprisoned for a particularly heinous confidence trick.
00:04:06Back when you went by your real name, Robert Grimes.
00:04:12So, Robert, is your book another con?
00:04:17And the only reason no one has found the treasure is because it doesn't exist?
00:04:26I hate this.
00:04:35Jane, wait!
00:04:37You need to sort this. And quickly.
00:04:41Any deal we had is on hold till you do.
00:04:46Ludo, it's not true. Any of it.
00:04:49Are you talking about your past or your book?
00:04:55No.
00:05:56What are you doing? That's Bertram's room.
00:05:58It was Bertram's room.
00:06:00Didn't you hear that reporter? We've been harbouring a criminal.
00:06:04Where's he gonna go? He's broke.
00:06:07I want him out of our lives, Eli. And I don't care how it's done.
00:06:20Bertram.
00:06:21Is it safe?
00:06:23Everyone's gone.
00:06:27Any and all forgiveness begins with honesty.
00:06:30I am being honest.
00:06:32The treasure's real. And perhaps if you revealed it...
00:06:37Great talk, Rev. Truly inspirational.
00:06:43You should listen to Seb.
00:06:46Prove you're the real deal.
00:06:49You first, Ava.
00:06:52Ready whenever you are.
00:07:04There you are, Jane.
00:07:08There you are.
00:07:10Ten years I have been looking for that treasure.
00:07:13Would I really con you? My friend, my number one fan?
00:07:16Of course I wouldn't.
00:07:18And another thing, why would I bother creating a new page if there was nothing to find?
00:07:21That is, actually, if there is a new page.
00:07:24Call my publisher, Jane, and ask her.
00:07:26Got her number right here.
00:07:28The treasure is real, Aneesha.
00:07:30And it's out there, waiting for only the brightest and the best to find it.
00:07:33And you are the brightest I know.
00:07:36And you are the brightest I know.
00:07:45I think he'll dig it up.
00:07:47What do you mean?
00:07:49The treasure.
00:07:51Seb thinks it's his best chance of redemption.
00:08:05I hear your anniversary was a roaring success.
00:08:19If I find out it was you who raked up my past...
00:08:23I only know more about you than I can stomach.
00:08:25Why would I bother digging any further?
00:08:27For someone who claims to be hyper-intelligent, you're not very bright, Othello.
00:08:31You sold me out, and you know it.
00:08:33What are you talking about?
00:08:34Where have you been?
00:08:35Danny's furious. She wants you out of the house.
00:08:37I know a really good removal man.
00:08:40I can give you the number.
00:08:41Just back off, Othello.
00:08:44I can't live on a journalist, Seb.
00:08:46Never mind her.
00:08:48I need a favour.
00:08:58Knock, knock.
00:09:01You're meant to say, who's there?
00:09:02Who is there? Bertram or Robert?
00:09:06Robert was a long time ago, Ludo.
00:09:08That's not me anymore.
00:09:10All this time I've spent trying to work your book out,
00:09:13and you encouraged me the whole time, knowing it was a lie.
00:09:18Ludo, I would never do that to you.
00:09:20I'm going to tell people what you really are.
00:09:23I'll go online. I'll make sure everyone knows.
00:09:26Just calm down.
00:09:28Okay?
00:09:30I want to show you something.
00:09:34It's the new page,
00:09:36and only two people have ever seen it.
00:09:39Me, and now you.
00:09:45That'd be cheating.
00:09:47I'm already in enough trouble.
00:09:49I just wanted you to see that I'm not a con man.
00:09:52Maybe once, but not now.
00:09:56Friends again?
00:09:59It's not going to be very easy.
00:10:01Well, then it's down to me to prove myself.
00:10:04Me time will be in the pub.
00:10:22Damn it!
00:10:25Relax. I'll give Eli a shout. You can do that.
00:10:27I've got it. All right.
00:10:28There's no need to snap.
00:10:30What's got into you?
00:10:33Dad, there's something I've got to...
00:10:34Oh, it's a large one.
00:10:37Are you serious? Get out!
00:10:39Scarlett!
00:10:41It's all right, Joel.
00:10:43It'll be all over the local paper soon enough.
00:10:57Smile, sweet angel. Smile.
00:11:28What are you doing?
00:11:30What are you doing?
00:11:58OK.
00:11:59Speak quickly and clearly.
00:12:01No stumbling or mumbling over your words.
00:12:03Go.
00:12:04We haven't had breakfast yet.
00:12:06I didn't get this fast topping for porridge.
00:12:08I bet you'd score highly on bones.
00:12:10John!
00:12:15In what year did...
00:12:17Here we go.
00:12:20Winter.
00:12:21Morning, sir.
00:12:25Sorry for calling round so early, but a body's been found.
00:12:28Well, there goes my practice.
00:12:30Sarah's through to the semi-final of a pub quiz.
00:12:35The pub quiz, Jamie.
00:12:37The biggest one in Midsomer.
00:12:39Congratulations, Mrs B.
00:12:41You know, I always thought that you were the real problem.
00:12:43I'm not.
00:12:44I'm not.
00:12:45I'm not.
00:12:46I'm not.
00:12:47Congratulations, Mrs B.
00:12:48You know, I always thought that you were the real brains of the family.
00:12:51You mentioned a body, Winter.
00:12:57The victim's name is Bertram Jewel.
00:13:01THE Bertram Jewel.
00:13:03Of seeker fame.
00:13:05The puzzle book, everyone was obsessed with it.
00:13:07Clearly not everyone.
00:13:09He's a super genius who created a picture book
00:13:11full of cryptic clues that lead to hidden treasure.
00:13:13Are we talking pieces of eight or a pot of gold?
00:13:15Well, that's all part of the mystery, sir.
00:13:17I can't believe Bertram Jewel's in Midsomer.
00:13:19Was he, you mean?
00:13:20If I'd known, I would have tried to meet him.
00:13:22I got the book when it first came out, but I could never crack it.
00:13:24And the biggest puzzle now is who killed him.
00:13:27That was going to be my line, sir.
00:13:29Building up to that.
00:13:40Hope you brought a book to read.
00:13:42He's packed tighter than a sardine.
00:13:45We have a time of death here.
00:13:47Early estimate puts it at late yesterday evening.
00:13:49Probably around 8pm.
00:13:51Sir.
00:13:52Sir, I've seen this before.
00:13:53This scene, this picture.
00:13:55It's from his book.
00:13:56Are you sure?
00:13:57Positive.
00:13:58I studied those pages so hard,
00:13:59I started to see them in my dreams.
00:14:01When exactly was the last time you had a psych evaluation, Winter?
00:14:07Anyway.
00:14:09That's a pretty severe blow to the head,
00:14:12but not a fatal one.
00:14:13Judging from the cyanosis and hints of petechia,
00:14:16tiny hemorrhages for the intellectually stunted among us,
00:14:20he was suffocated under a glass bowl.
00:14:23This is the last picture that the victim took.
00:14:26Is that an angel?
00:14:27Must be the treasure, sir.
00:14:29After all these years, it's worth a fortune.
00:14:31Which is probably why it's gone AWOL,
00:14:33alongside whatever he was bludgeoned with.
00:14:36I'm guessing a dispate,
00:14:38because a hole that deep wasn't dug with bare hands.
00:14:41We need to establish his last known movements,
00:14:43any calls he made, who he spoke to.
00:14:46I can't believe it was buried in Modsmire all along.
00:14:49I would have bet my life savings on it being in Edinburgh.
00:14:58£5,000 on building supplies?
00:15:01The repairs to Sebastian's church are mounting up.
00:15:03Well, why did you take the money out of our savings account?
00:15:06Mr and Mrs Trask,
00:15:08we've been advised that Bertram Jewell
00:15:10has been living with you recently.
00:15:12Yeah, that's right.
00:15:13What's this about?
00:15:15I'm afraid Mr Jewell's body was found in the woods this morning.
00:15:18Bert's dead?
00:15:20I know this has come as a shock,
00:15:22but when was the last time you saw Mr Jewell?
00:15:25Erm...
00:15:27Yesterday, in the church.
00:15:29He was celebrating ten years since his book was published.
00:15:33Last time I saw him was outside Othello Kahn's shop.
00:15:37Did he upset anyone recently?
00:15:39Er...
00:15:40It got a bit ugly at the church.
00:15:42There was this reporter...
00:15:44Yeah, she said he'd been imprisoned for a scam.
00:15:47Accused him of conning everyone with his book.
00:15:50That there isn't any treasure.
00:15:52People were furious.
00:15:53Poor Ludo pushed over his photograph.
00:15:55Ludo?
00:15:56Oh, our son.
00:15:57He's, erm, slightly obsessed by the book.
00:16:00He's not the only one, Danny.
00:16:02I've never seen Venetia that angry before.
00:16:04She was incandescent.
00:16:06Venetia?
00:16:07Butts.
00:16:08She has spent a small fortune trying to find that treasure.
00:16:12How long had you known Mr Jewell?
00:16:14Erm...
00:16:15He came here a couple of months before his book was published.
00:16:18He wandered in...
00:16:19Do you remember, Danny?
00:16:21Said he was looking up an old friend.
00:16:23Yeah, I remember all right.
00:16:24He scoffed down a cream tea and, er, forgot to pay.
00:16:28I chased him, he apologised, we got talking,
00:16:31and, you know, we became good mates.
00:16:33How long has he lived with you in Montsmire?
00:16:35Six months.
00:16:36Five days.
00:16:38Not that I'm counting or...
00:16:40Erm...
00:16:45Sir, Fleur said that Bertram sent that photo of the angel to two people.
00:16:50His publisher, who was back in London last night,
00:16:53and one Ludo Trask.
00:16:55Oh.
00:16:56I'll talk to Ludo while you speak to Venetia Butts.
00:16:59On it, sir.
00:17:00Oh, and while you're at it,
00:17:02track down Bertram's criminal record.
00:17:04Mm-hm.
00:17:05Oh, and find that reporter.
00:17:07I'd like to know how she knew about his past when no-one else did.
00:17:12Go on.
00:17:32SIREN WAILS
00:18:03Excuse me, but this is private property.
00:18:06Ludo Trask?
00:18:08That's me.
00:18:09What's this about?
00:18:11Tell me about this first.
00:18:13That's a page from Bertram Jewell's book.
00:18:15I print copies out, then enlarge them.
00:18:17Sometimes the clues are tiny.
00:18:19I've done it with the whole book.
00:18:21Why are you asking?
00:18:24Mr Jewell's body was found in the woods this morning.
00:18:28Bertram's?
00:18:29Bertram's?
00:18:32That's awful.
00:18:35I don't understand.
00:18:36What was he doing in the woods?
00:18:38Sending you a photo of the treasure, apparently.
00:18:41I haven't looked at my phone.
00:18:43It's been on charge.
00:18:49That's actually it.
00:18:51That's the treasure.
00:18:53It's beautiful.
00:18:55I knew it would be.
00:18:57Did you say it was here, in the woods?
00:19:00I always said it was.
00:19:03Why would he send a photo to you?
00:19:05I guess he went out there to prove he wasn't a liar.
00:19:08So you believed he was?
00:19:10No.
00:19:11I doubt you pushed his picture to the ground for any other reason.
00:19:14Look, I'm not proud of that, but we made up.
00:19:18Have you been in the woods recently?
00:19:20I'm there all the time.
00:19:22Last night I was in here till really late.
00:19:24Yet you didn't hear your phone ping with a message.
00:19:28Oh.
00:19:30It must be on silent.
00:19:35What would finding the treasure mean to you, Ludo?
00:19:39Everything.
00:19:41It would be a life changer.
00:19:46Oh, that is terrible.
00:19:49Poor Bertram.
00:19:55When was the last time that you saw him?
00:19:57Oh, um...
00:19:59Well, I met him coming out of church,
00:20:02not long after the debacle of his anniversary party.
00:20:05He was super keen to reassure me that everything was right and proper.
00:20:09And you believed him?
00:20:11Of course I did.
00:20:13I'm not just a fan.
00:20:15He was a very dear and long-standing friend.
00:20:17He was a setter, and I'm a solver.
00:20:19We were the perfect intellectual match.
00:20:22May I ask where you were yesterday evening?
00:20:24Home.
00:20:25Alone.
00:20:27Par for the course.
00:20:30Did you notice if anyone at the church openly confronted Mr Jewell?
00:20:35I'm not one to stir, but there is someone in the village utterly obsessed by the book.
00:20:41Ludo Trass.
00:20:44Now, let's face it, the poor lad would have been driven mad
00:20:47having the author of his manic quest living in the same house.
00:20:56Presumably any fan of the book would know this picture.
00:20:59If they don't, then they're not fans.
00:21:03Tell me about your relationship with Bertram.
00:21:06He was like an uncle to me.
00:21:08And so clever, I've never met anyone like him.
00:21:11He called in last night to make sure we were still friends.
00:21:14He even showed me the new page.
00:21:17The new page?
00:21:19His publishers are going to print a new edition of Seeker with new clues.
00:21:23He showed it to me before he went to the pub.
00:21:25It wasn't found on his person.
00:21:27What did it look like?
00:21:29I barely got a glance.
00:21:32I assume this page would provide a new clue to the whereabouts of the treasure.
00:21:38Too right.
00:21:40I already pre-ordered the new version.
00:21:42I wanted to be the first person to solve it.
00:21:45But that's gone.
00:21:49Where is the treasure now?
00:21:52What time did Bertram leave here, Ludo?
00:21:54Probably around six.
00:22:01Wow.
00:22:03This is a hundred times better than anything I ever managed.
00:22:06You were Seeker too?
00:22:08I was a Seeker.
00:22:10You were Seeker too?
00:22:12I was once, yeah.
00:22:13A Seeker?
00:22:14Fan of the book, that's what we call ourselves.
00:22:16Now I was convinced that the treasure was buried in Scotland.
00:22:18Scotland?
00:22:19That's way off.
00:22:20Page 23 unequivocally implies Edinburgh.
00:22:22The outline of the castle.
00:22:23Is a red herring.
00:22:24You're meant to think that.
00:22:25Schoolboy error.
00:22:26You thought the one rose in the middle of the field of lilies...
00:22:29Is the rose for Rose Street.
00:22:31Epic mistake.
00:22:33Where did you think it was?
00:22:34Here.
00:22:35In Madsmeyer.
00:22:38I just never figured out precisely where.
00:22:50Looking to Ludo, he could have been in the woods last night.
00:22:52There's a pair of muddy boots in his garage.
00:22:55You think he got the text from Bertram and raced straight out there?
00:22:58Or he was already out there after seeing Bertram's new page of clues.
00:23:02Wait, there's a new page?
00:23:04That Fleur didn't find at the scene.
00:23:07What did Venetia Butts have to say for herself?
00:23:10The things between her and Bertram were amicable,
00:23:13but she was a little too keen to pin it all on Ludo.
00:23:16Alibi?
00:23:17None. She was home alone.
00:23:18I can't believe that I ruled out Madsmeyer.
00:23:20I could have been rich.
00:23:22Working alongside me makes you wealthy in other ways, Winter.
00:23:26Anything on Bertram's prison record yet?
00:23:28I should get the info through any second.
00:23:30Ah, we have time for a coffee then.
00:23:32Oh, maybe a piece of cake?
00:23:34No, I really must, Winter.
00:23:42Here we go, sir.
00:23:47Ah.
00:23:48Sir Bertram served nine years under his real name, Robert Grimes.
00:23:54Got out 15 years ago.
00:23:56What was he in for?
00:23:57Well, there was a gas leak at an estate in Causton,
00:24:00so Bertram went to the estate
00:24:02and sold gas alarms to hundreds of worried households.
00:24:06That's a crime?
00:24:09Well, he designed and built the gas alarms himself,
00:24:12trouble being that they didn't work.
00:24:14They were just for show.
00:24:16Seems a lot of trouble to go to
00:24:17for what can't have been a huge financial return.
00:24:20Well, apparently he had plans to take the product nationwide,
00:24:23but then one of his fake alarms failed to detect another gas leak
00:24:27and there was an explosion and someone died.
00:24:31He pleaded guilty the second he was arrested.
00:24:33It didn't even go to trial.
00:24:35Hmm.
00:24:36Well, that is a delicious cake.
00:24:38You should have got one for yourself.
00:24:41Is that all you have on him?
00:24:43Er...
00:24:47Um, he was cautioned as a teenager
00:24:50for illegally trying to influence the stock market.
00:24:53Hmm.
00:24:54Ask around at the pub.
00:24:55Find out if anyone was seen following Bertram after he left.
00:24:58I'll go to the church and find out who else was angry with him.
00:25:02Hmm.
00:25:03Well, that's a beautiful cake.
00:25:05Anyway, come on.
00:25:07Winter.
00:25:15I told Bertram he could seek refuge here.
00:25:18There was a, er...
00:25:20quite a savage atmosphere after the revelation.
00:25:24Hmm.
00:25:29Did anyone, er, specific confront him?
00:25:32Not that I saw.
00:25:33It was more of a general rumbling and grumbling.
00:25:36Hmm.
00:25:37What was Mr Jewell's mood like?
00:25:39Hmm. Fearful, troubled.
00:25:41So I suggested that honesty would pave the way to forgiveness
00:25:45and perhaps he would set the record straight.
00:25:48As in...?
00:25:49That he should dig up the treasure and prove to everyone he wasn't lying.
00:25:52So you knew it had been buried?
00:25:55Me? No.
00:25:57I just presumed.
00:25:58Warm cross. Good as new.
00:26:00Good Lord, Eli.
00:26:02What a wonderful job you've done.
00:26:04This is just for the workup to know.
00:26:07I'll see to it immediately.
00:26:09Mr Trask, you haven't misplaced a spade recently?
00:26:13Ah, not that I know of.
00:26:15Your son wouldn't have borrowed it. I noticed he had muddy boots.
00:26:18Well, that's because he's always out looking for that treasure.
00:26:21I'll be sure to check my lock-up, though.
00:26:27Did anyone else hear you tell Bertram to prove himself?
00:26:32I did.
00:26:34Hi. I'm Ava, Sebastian's wife.
00:26:38Are you saying that Bertram took my advice
00:26:41and you think that someone followed him?
00:26:43We were both at home all night, weren't we, Seb?
00:26:47Yes. Yes, we were.
00:26:50All night.
00:27:07How was Mr Jewell when he came in?
00:27:10Er, pretty upbeat. He had one drink and then...
00:27:13Left soon after.
00:27:15And you didn't see anyone waiting for him outside, maybe?
00:27:18No. No?
00:27:20Sorry.
00:27:23Big Seeker fans?
00:27:25Oh, not us. Bertram was a good friend, so we promoted his book.
00:27:30He helped me with my application to Oxford.
00:27:32I'd been messing around, no idea what to do with my life
00:27:36until he convinced me it would be a crime
00:27:39to waste the only gift that matters, having a high IQ.
00:27:42Scarlet gets her brains from her mother.
00:27:46I know someone in the semi-final.
00:27:48Well, you can tell them from us, they have a great chance now.
00:27:51Yeah. The reigning champion has been banned for life.
00:27:54Othello Khan.
00:27:55Yeah. Nobody likes a cheat.
00:28:06Sir, the pub landlord just told me
00:28:09that he banned Othello Khan from his quiz
00:28:12after Bertram outed him for cheating.
00:28:15Didn't Eli Trask tell us
00:28:17he last saw Bertram outside Mr Khan's shop?
00:28:20It gets even better.
00:28:21Socko just texted me that the last person Bertram called was...
00:28:25I think I can fill in the rest.
00:28:31Yes, Bertram.
00:28:34Or Robert, as I've since learned, did phone me.
00:28:38And why was that, Mr Khan?
00:28:40To apologise.
00:28:41For?
00:28:42Accusing me of something I hadn't done.
00:28:44Vis-a-vis calling the press about his criminal past.
00:28:48I've got far better things to do with my time.
00:28:52And why would he specifically think it was you?
00:28:56Obviously, you've spoken to the Myhills.
00:28:59Banned for life is quite a punishment.
00:29:02Joel is a cretin.
00:29:03The only proof Bertram had was I clearly knew too much
00:29:07and must have looked at the quiz questions beforehand.
00:29:10See, Bertram entered the quiz this year,
00:29:12and in the quarter-final, I beat him hands down.
00:29:15He was absolutely humiliated. Couldn't stand it.
00:29:19So he made up a lie that everyone believed it,
00:29:22which, judging by his past now, is de rigueur for him,
00:29:26which means he's always been at it.
00:29:31His accusation can't be doing your reputation any good,
00:29:35or your business.
00:29:36Well, everyone knows now that Bertram was a liar,
00:29:39so I'm sure things will pick up.
00:29:42You said that you're cleverer than Bertram.
00:29:44Does that mean that you could solve his book,
00:29:46if you had all the clues, old and new?
00:29:50Wouldn't waste one brain cell on it.
00:29:55Now, would that be all?
00:29:58Because now that you're here, feel free to browse.
00:30:02Feel free to browse.
00:30:05You can browse.
00:30:11Bringing your hobbies into the workplace?
00:30:14Oh, sorry, sir.
00:30:16When I said I was into Bertram's book, I was, like, really into it.
00:30:20For instance, this is how I started to think
00:30:23that the treasure was buried in Scotland.
00:30:25The page is titled,
00:30:27STONED AT HENGE EG SPACED OUT,
00:30:29which is a crossword clue, right?
00:30:31I'll take your word for it, Winter.
00:30:33So the answer is an anagram of the words AT HENGE
00:30:36with the EG taken out.
00:30:38So you get Thane.
00:30:40Oh, Thane, as in...?
00:30:41As in the most famous Thane of all, Macbeth,
00:30:43which immediately made me think of Scotland.
00:30:45Incredible.
00:30:46And if you add that information to the Edinburgh clue
00:30:48that I worked out on page 23, then...
00:30:50Exactly how long did you spend on this book?
00:30:52Did you have a life?
00:30:55All I'm saying, sir,
00:30:56is that I don't believe that it can be a Maud's Mire.
00:30:59So what's this a photo of?
00:31:03Uh... Yeah.
00:31:05That is a rather large spanner in my thinking.
00:31:08That, and knowing that Bertram probably came to the village
00:31:12to bury the angel not long before his book was published.
00:31:16Yeah.
00:31:18Yeah, I should probably stick to noughts and crosses.
00:31:20Or you could chase up that reporter,
00:31:22preferably before that book takes over your life again.
00:31:25Hmm.
00:31:29Hmm.
00:31:35Sebastian?
00:31:38Synod are threatening to look into the church funds.
00:31:41Just tell them you're helping one of your flock.
00:31:45Paying for the charlatans and the puzzle-solvers
00:31:48that you've hired over the years
00:31:49is probably not what they think of as a deserving cause, Mother.
00:31:52I've told you before, and I'll say it again,
00:31:54I will pay back every penny.
00:31:56When, exactly? And how, for that matter?
00:31:58You know than you think.
00:32:00Trust me.
00:32:12Thank you very much.
00:32:14The score is...
00:32:1611 points.
00:32:22Welcome, Sarah. Make yourself comfortable.
00:32:25Can I remind you all to keep your phones off, please?
00:32:27And no matter how tempting, please do not call out the answers.
00:32:32Right. You have 90 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
00:32:36The score to beat is 11.
00:32:38Could we start the timer, please?
00:32:40Now, how many keyboard sonatas did Scarlatti compose?
00:32:43555.
00:32:45Where would I find a mashee?
00:32:46A golf course.
00:32:48Strasman's Bristlefront is a type of what?

00:33:00Winter?
00:33:03I'm sorry, could you repeat the question?
00:33:07I'm at Sarah's quiz.
00:33:09Sir, I just spoke to that reporter.
00:33:11She was tipped off about Bertram and...
00:33:14You're not going to believe by who.
00:33:16Well, thank you, Winter.
00:33:18We'll go round first thing.
00:33:21Congratulations, Sarah, you have passed the final!
00:33:24APPLAUSE
00:33:28MUSIC PLAYS
00:33:40I'm busy right now.
00:33:42Sorry, Venetia, but I need to know.
00:33:46Did you follow Bertram last night?
00:33:49Wash your mouth out!
00:33:51What a thing to say!
00:33:53Only I told you he might dig up the treasure.
00:33:56You, of all people, accusing me.
00:33:59Ah, that's a bit of a wrench.
00:34:01No, Ava dear, you're the only sinner here.
00:34:04Now, as I said, I am busy.
00:34:18PHONE RINGS
00:34:26MUSIC PLAYS
00:34:43The police think that Bertram used one of Eli's spades
00:34:47to dig up the treasure.
00:34:49Is there anything that leech wouldn't take from us?
00:34:51Oh, never mind that.
00:34:53I lied to the police, Danny.
00:34:55What? Why?
00:34:57Oh, I panicked.
00:34:59I was praying in the church.
00:35:01Oh, everything's going wrong for us and I asked for help.
00:35:05What's so wrong with that?
00:35:08My prayers were answered.
00:35:10Bertram ended up dead.
00:35:13Imagine if I told the police that I wanted that.
00:35:16Oh, I wouldn't worry.
00:35:18The two we spoke to are more interested in team cake.
00:35:21Love, those two policemen are back.
00:35:28Mrs Trask, do you have a moment?
00:35:31Erm, would you like a pot of tea?
00:35:33We'll give it a miss, thanks.
00:35:35And also, we'd like to speak to Mr and Mrs Trask in private.
00:35:38Oh.
00:35:40Of course. Of course.
00:35:46Excuse me.
00:35:51What's going on?
00:35:53We'd like to know how you found out about Bertram's past.
00:35:56And, more importantly, why you chose to tell the reporter.
00:36:00She promised she'd keep it confidential.
00:36:03That was before Bertram was murdered.
00:36:07Danny, what have you done?
00:36:22Oh.
00:36:32His stuff was everywhere.
00:36:35I got angry and I kicked a few boxes about
00:36:38and the next thing I knew, there's an old bank statement on the floor.
00:36:42But it didn't have Bertram's name on it.
00:36:44A bank statement? Yes.
00:36:46In the name of Robert Grimes, by any chance?
00:36:48Well, I thought it was odd.
00:36:51So I looked up his name online.
00:36:54What? Why would you do that?
00:36:56Because I was sick of him ordering you about,
00:36:59taking what he wanted from us.
00:37:02I thought if enough people knew what he was,
00:37:06it would shame him into leaving Wadsmire.
00:37:09Mrs Trask, where were you when Bertram Jewell was killed?
00:37:13I was in here, prepping the buffet for Joel's quiz night.
00:37:17Sorry, I can't listen to any more of this.
00:37:21Look, all I wanted was for Bertram to move on,
00:37:26to leave us alone, I promise you.
00:37:33Dig into Danica Trask.
00:37:35I want to know if there was more to her vendetta against Bertram.
00:37:39Now, Mr Trask, did you check your lock-up?
00:37:42Sorry, I forgot. I can take you there now if you want.
00:37:48DOOR OPENS
00:38:01Presumably you've read my email.
00:38:03Hi. Yeah, I was, um...
00:38:05I was trying to work out a fair price and, um...
00:38:08I'm thinking...
00:38:10£1,000?
00:38:12Oh! I think you can do a lot better than that, Othello.
00:38:17Look, I could go to two, but that's me being really generous.
00:38:21Two? If you're trying to diddle me...
00:38:24No, I want the piece, Venetia.
00:38:27Let's be honest, it's decent, but it'd be reasonable.
00:38:31Get it. There are plenty of other dealers I can go to.
00:38:34OK, OK, OK, OK. Ah!
00:38:37£3,000, and that's more than generous.
00:38:41I want more. Much more, Othello.
00:38:44A life-changing amount, to be precise.
00:38:48Venetia, you're living in dreamland.
00:38:51It's gold plate.
00:38:53Now, trust me, I promise you,
00:38:55£3,000 is me being more a friend than a dealer.
00:39:03SIGHS
00:39:05That's odd. The spade's not here.
00:39:15Mr Trask?
00:39:21Sorry, er...
00:39:24I just can't believe Pershing's really gone.
00:39:29Did anyone else have keys to the lock-up?
00:39:31No. To be honest, I rarely lock here.
00:39:34This is a nice village. Good people live here.
00:39:37So anyone could have access?
00:39:39Winter, tell the Myhills we need to go over their CCTV.
00:39:43It may just cover Mr Trask's lock-up.
00:39:46Sir.
00:40:06What are you doing?
00:40:07I need to see the new page, the one that Bertram made.
00:40:10The last I saw of it was when Bertram walked out of here with it.
00:40:14Then the police have got it.
00:40:16I... I don't understand. Why do you need it?
00:40:19Whoever killed Bertram probably has the treasure now.
00:40:22How on earth would you know that?
00:40:24Because Bertram sent me a photo of it.
00:40:27He did what?
00:40:33Whichever way you look at it, the hunt is over, Venetia.
00:40:37Assuming that that is the treasure?
00:40:40What do you mean? No.
00:40:42I know it hurts that neither one of us were the ones to find it, but we have to face...
00:40:48No. Use your brain, Ludo.
00:40:50When was anything Bertram did that obvious?
00:40:54You think it might be another one of Bertram's tricks?
00:40:57And it could be.
00:40:59Has Bertram all over?
00:41:02There's always another mystery to crack.
00:41:04Always.
00:41:05So you said that Bertram had the new page on him. Draw it for me.
00:41:09What?
00:41:10Draw it by the time I get back.
00:41:11I only got a glimpse.
00:41:12Do it, Ludo, or I will take away all of this.
00:41:16Your home, your family, everything.
00:41:19Get drawing, boy.
00:41:21The hunt is still on.
00:41:31Seb, you've got to snap out of this.
00:41:33Be the man I married. You can't just let everything crumble away.
00:41:38She's ruined us, Eva.
00:41:40Mother, I mean. I've been such a fool.
00:41:43The money that I spent on her traveling up and down the country, hiring so-called experts.
00:41:50As for those clairvoyants...
00:41:52Easy, Seb. Easy. It's okay, honey.
00:41:56We'll work it out. Surely there's a way around this.
00:42:00Surely there's a way around this.
00:42:02I owe the church thousands.
00:42:04Why couldn't I just say no to her?
00:42:09I'm starting to hate her, Eva.
00:42:11Oh, Seb.
00:42:12And I hate myself even more for saying it, but this mess is her fault.
00:42:24She did what?
00:42:26She broke in and was ransacking my garage.
00:42:30She's totally lost it.
00:42:31What was she looking for?
00:42:33She never said.
00:42:34Just ranted about taking everything away from me.
00:42:37Oh, she threatened you?
00:42:38She was saying all kinds of mad stuff.
00:42:42Like how the treasure's still out there.
00:42:45You didn't believe her, did you?
00:42:47No.
00:42:49Ludo, I'm telling you, forget that damn book.
00:42:53And you can forget Bertrand while you're at it.
00:42:56There's so many better things you could be doing with your life.
00:42:59I know.
00:43:00So chill, OK?
00:43:03I'm done with it.
00:43:06I promise you.
00:43:15Venetia?
00:43:29Oh.
00:43:39So, these pistachios.
00:43:42And that.
00:44:00I love you.
00:44:02I love you.
00:44:26No, no, no!
00:44:33No!
00:44:45Pretty much what we expected to see, sir.
00:44:47Is it winter?
00:44:49Only, if I'm not mistaken, Bertrand's rucksack looks very full.
00:44:55And when Fleur found it, it was very empty.
00:45:00We've been looking at this the wrong way round.
00:45:02Bertrand didn't go into the woods to dig up the angel.
00:45:06He went to bury it.
00:45:09Presumably so that his publishers wouldn't back out of their deal.
00:45:12Which begs the question, why didn't they carry out due diligence
00:45:16and ask to see what he was supposedly burying ten years ago?
00:45:19Maybe they were more interested in their pre-sales.
00:45:22Money talks, sir.
00:45:23Doesn't it always, Winter?
00:45:26Winter?
00:45:28Ah, OK.
00:45:30Yeah, we'll be there as soon as possible.
00:45:32Looks like murder talks too, sir.
00:45:34Another body's been found in the woods.
00:45:46I can confirm this is Venetia Butts.
00:45:49First impressions are, she was suffocated.
00:45:52There are the same tell-tale signs of cyanosis and...
00:45:55What was it I said about the first victim, Winter?
00:45:59Er...
00:46:00Hints at...
00:46:02petechia.
00:46:03Petechia, yeah.
00:46:05Do try and pay attention.
00:46:07Sorry.
00:46:08The killer probably grabbed and smothered her from behind.
00:46:11Looks like she put up a struggle before being overpowered
00:46:15and arranged that way.
00:46:17This is definitely another pose from the book, sir.
00:46:20Are you sure it's not you rampaging around killing people, Winter?
00:46:25Do we have a time of death yet?
00:46:27We're looking at early evening.
00:46:33You have an alibi, Winter.
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:37Yeah, I was... I was busy yesterday evening.
00:46:39With another of your colouring books.
00:46:41Sir.
00:46:42Sir.
00:46:45You go through Venetia's house.
00:46:47You go through Venetia's house.
00:46:49I'll go and talk to her son and daughter-in-law.
00:46:58I'm sorry to have to do this now.
00:47:01Had your mother upset anyone recently?
00:47:04I don't know.
00:47:06I'm not sure if I can even think straight right now.
00:47:09Well, er...
00:47:10I've heard that she and Othello Kahn had a bit of a run-in outside his shop.
00:47:15Do you know what it was about?
00:47:17You'd have to ask someone who was there.
00:47:19Wait, did you say Othello?
00:47:21Maybe that's who I heard.
00:47:23Yesterday.
00:47:24Or it could have been the day before.
00:47:26I can't be 100%, but I think I heard Mother speaking with someone.
00:47:30No, no, no. Actually, actually, she was...
00:47:32She was arguing with...
00:47:34It could have been with Othello. Yes.
00:47:36Reverend...
00:47:37I'm so sorry. This is obviously a very difficult time.
00:47:41Honey, why don't you have some rest?
00:47:45Come on.
00:47:57Sarah?
00:48:15Come on.
00:48:32Well, you might like it for posterity.
00:48:34And the new one's just arrived.
00:48:36If this is your idea of humour, Joel,
00:48:40stick to serving pints.
00:48:42All right, all right, just, er...
00:48:44Just hear me out.
00:48:46Bertram played me for a fool.
00:48:48Yeah, he's a liar through and through,
00:48:50and I can't bear that I didn't see it.
00:48:52Well, I... I did tell you at the time.
00:48:57I want you back in the quiz.
00:49:00Is that it?
00:49:02You have to grovel a bit more than you're doing right now.
00:49:04Othello, please.
00:49:06It'll be a chance for you to set the record straight.
00:49:08Maybe get people back in your shop.
00:49:15All right, I'll do it.
00:49:17But only if you make sure everyone knows I'm back in the quiz.
00:49:21And why.
00:49:36Looks like Venetia Butt sent an email to Othello Khan
00:49:39asking for a price on the angel.
00:49:41When was this?
00:49:42The day after Bertram Jewell was murdered.
00:49:45How much did he offer her?
00:49:47He didn't respond.
00:49:49Perhaps not then, but they were seen arguing not long afterwards.
00:49:53Run through what we know so far.
00:49:56OK.
00:50:00One Bertram Jewell,
00:50:02his parole officer said that he left prison
00:50:05with the idea for The Seeker book.
00:50:07Then he changes his name and finds a publisher.
00:50:09He's got a big advance and a small fortune from the sales.
00:50:12But ends up so broke he has to rely on a friend for a roof over his head.
00:50:17Then hits upon the idea of creating a new page to sell more books.
00:50:21But before he can, he's outed as a conman with a prison record.
00:50:25So, to save his reputation...
00:50:27And urged on by the local vicar, no less.
00:50:30He heads into the woods to try and prove that the treasure's real.
00:50:34Oh, and then we discover that Danica Trask is the person that outed Bertram.
00:50:38Hmm...
00:50:40Sir?
00:50:42Get Socko to send over a full inventory
00:50:44of everything they found in Bertram's bedroom.
00:50:46I will do.
00:50:48And then, Venetia Butts is murdered,
00:50:51and we find that she has the treasure and Eli's missing spade,
00:50:54which implies that she murdered Bertram for the angel.
00:50:57But whoever then killed Venetia either couldn't find the angel
00:51:01or killed her for another reason.
00:51:05That was worth buying a ticket for.
00:51:07You two should go on tour.
00:51:09Desperate Detectives. The musical.
00:51:12I take it you have something for us, Fleur?
00:51:15The spade you found matches the head wound on Bertram Jewel.
00:51:18This box was made some ten years ago.
00:51:22But as for this beauty, I rang an old boyfriend of mine.
00:51:26He's big in antiques.
00:51:31Once whispered that I was both priceless and worthless
00:51:35in the same...
00:51:38...heady breath.
00:51:41He confirmed that the angel's barely a year old.
00:51:45Only a year? Then it can't be the treasure.
00:51:48Someone had avocado for breakfast.
00:51:50If you need more proof,
00:51:53the angel doesn't actually fit in the ceramic box.
00:51:57Where exactly did it come from?
00:51:59And at such short notice.
00:52:02We need to talk to Eli again.
00:52:04Eli? Surely Othello can't, sir.
00:52:07It's called getting all of your ducks in a row, Winter.
00:52:17Hello.
00:52:19Mr Trask, you told your wife you took £5,000 out of your savings account
00:52:24to cover your costs for the church repairs.
00:52:27Yeah, that's right.
00:52:28Then why did I see you hand Reverend Butt a bill for hundreds, not thousands?
00:52:35It wasn't Danny getting angry at me, but the money was for Bertram.
00:52:39He said that he needed it right there and then.
00:52:41For...? He said he owed it to someone, some old debt.
00:52:45He didn't say who to, though.
00:52:47Five grand's a lot of money to just blithely hand over.
00:52:50It wasn't anything new.
00:52:52And he promised to pay it back.
00:52:54May I see the transaction?
00:52:57Er, yeah, I could, er...
00:53:07Ah, still stumbling around, looking for answers?
00:53:12Why were you and Venetia arguing just out here, Mr Carne?
00:53:16Sources are very much mistaken.
00:53:20I was in a hurry and I said to Venetia I'd talk to her when I got back.
00:53:24I make that two people that you've had a falling out with that have ended up dead.
00:53:28That is a giant leap, young man.
00:53:32Tell me about the angel that Venetia tried to sell to you.
00:53:37That dreadful thing, it's...
00:53:39It's cheapness speaks for itself.
00:53:42It was so cheap you charged Bertram £5,000 for it.
00:53:46Eli Trask transferred the same amount of money into Bertram's account just a few minutes
00:53:50before he bought the angel and probably the glass bowl from you.
00:53:55This is from Bertram's bank account.
00:54:15Hey.
00:54:25I can help you get rid of some of this secret stuff if you want.
00:54:27No way, Dad.
00:54:29I've seen the new page.
00:54:31What?
00:54:33You said you were done with it.
00:54:37Come on.
00:54:39For your own good, come and work with me.
00:54:43Ian L. Trask repairs. Let's get you out of this carriage.
00:54:46You're not listening.
00:54:48I've seen the new page, but that's not all.
00:54:51I think the treasure's still out there.
00:54:54It's not over yet.
00:54:55What do you mean?
00:54:57Venetia practically told me herself.
00:55:00Ludo.
00:55:02Son.
00:55:03People will see who I really am.
00:55:07They'll admire me.
00:55:09The person who solved one of the greatest puzzles I've ever set.
00:55:16Surely you must have thought that Venetia killed Bertram to get the angel.
00:55:21Obviously I did think about alerting you, but...
00:55:23Then I'd have been dragged into this whole sorry mess.
00:55:27My reputation's taken enough of a hit lately.
00:55:32We know that you and Bertram didn't get on, so why would you help him?
00:55:36You must have known what he was planning.
00:55:39We did a deal.
00:55:41He promised to get me back into the pub quiz if I didn't ask any questions.
00:55:47Then you believed him, knowing that he was a proven liar.
00:55:49Well, the proof is in the book.
00:55:51Joel Allbut begged me to come back, to which I generously agreed.
00:55:56But then Venetia Butts threatened that all over again.
00:56:00Did she? I don't see how.
00:56:03If it got out that you were involved in Bertram's latest con, that would definitely ruin you.
00:56:08You needed to get hold of that angel at any cost.
00:56:11But however much you offered Venetia, it wasn't nearly enough, was it, Mr. Carr?
00:56:16She was expecting a crazy figure.
00:56:18Something life-changing, she said.
00:56:21Where were you yesterday evening?
00:56:23I was at a private viewing in a manor house in the next village.
00:56:27I was in need of a refurb.
00:56:28They invited some local dealers to know us around and see if they wanted to buy anything.
00:56:34Let's hope someone remembers you being there.
00:56:39It was a very large house. I got lost a few times.
00:56:41It was a very large house. I got lost a few times.
00:56:55I'll look into his alibi, sir, but even money says that he's lying.
00:57:00I've just had the inventory through for Bertram's belongings.
00:57:05Scroll to the letter B.
00:57:06Scroll to the letter B.
00:57:11Thanks. Bye.
00:57:16Tea or police business?
00:57:18Actually, bank statements, Mrs. Trask.
00:57:21Excuse me?
00:57:23We didn't find any in Bertram's bedroom.
00:57:25And if we couldn't find them, then you couldn't have either.
00:57:29Someone as smart as Bertram would never leave such an obvious trail.
00:57:33Now, how did you really find out about his past?
00:57:51Mrs. Butts, can you tell us about your relationship with Bertram Jewel?
00:57:57Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:59We found this in Venetia's deleted files.
00:58:03We also spoke to Danica Trask,
00:58:06and she said that it was you that told her that Bertram's real name was Robert Grimes.
00:58:10I think you hoped it would motivate her to send Bertram packing,
00:58:15both from her life and yours, Mrs. Butts.
00:58:25Please.
00:58:27Please.
00:58:29This is really not what you think it is.
00:58:32Haven't heard that one before.
00:58:33I mean it, it really isn't.
00:58:35I was doing it for Sebastian, to get the funds to pay the church back.
00:58:40And why would you need this funding?
00:58:43Because of Venetia's demands.
00:58:46Seb had been forced to dip into the church finances.
00:58:51He had to pay it back somehow.
00:58:52And you having an affair with Bertram Jewel was going to provide the money for that?
00:58:57It was Venetia's idea.
00:58:59She saw that Bertram kept trying to chat me up, so she decided that we could set him up.
00:59:05I should take it as far as I could until...
00:59:08He told you where the treasure was?
00:59:10I know how awful that sounds, but yes.
00:59:15He was going to tell me.
00:59:17We'd dig it up and then sell it to the highest bidder.
00:59:19If this was planned by you and Venetia, then why would she need photos of you and Bertram?
00:59:24They were her insurance against me backing out.
00:59:28And you didn't think to look for them before now?
00:59:30I always said I was going to back out.
00:59:32We desperately needed that treasure.
00:59:35I mean, we were going to lose our livelihoods, our home.
00:59:40When I saw the photos on her laptop, I thought it could look incriminating.
00:59:46I mean, you might think I had something to do with Bertram's murder.
00:59:51I'm intrigued, Mrs. Butts.
00:59:54This man who'd worked so hard to conceal his criminal past, what made him tell you about it?
01:00:04What's the only thing that would catch a man that smart off guard?
01:00:09He fell in love with me.
01:00:11To the point of telling me who he really was and that he'd been in prison for some con or whatever.
01:00:20But he never realised what you were up to?
01:00:22He was smitten, blind to everything but what he felt about me.
01:00:28It was tragic because I didn't feel a single thing for him.
01:00:32It must have been difficult keeping up the pretense once you learned that someone died directly because of him.
01:00:38Died? What? No.
01:00:42He just said that they hoped to get away with the con but it didn't go their way.
01:00:48They?
01:00:50Yes, they.
01:01:0324 years ago Bertram had an accomplice.
01:01:07There isn't one mentioned in the file on him.
01:01:09Find out who the detective in charge of Bertram's case was.
01:01:13Let's see if they remember another name cropping up.
01:01:16Could have been Venetia, sir. She said that they were great friends.
01:01:20Maybe she's the reason Bertram came to Modsmire and now someone's sought revenge on him.
01:01:25Perhaps, Winter. But who?
01:01:32Good luck.
01:01:42Good luck.
01:01:46Good luck indeed.
01:01:52Danny, you need to talk to Ludo.
01:01:55No, because he's still looking for that damn treasure.
01:02:00Mr Trask?
01:02:02Did Bertram ever mention people from his past to you?
01:02:06Er, no. No, he was pretty guarded about that stuff, to be honest.
01:02:12Why?
01:02:13You told us that he came here to see some friends.
01:02:15Yeah, yeah, I did.
01:02:17He was looking for Venetia's cottage when he came into the cafe.
01:02:20Sorry, I should have said that at the time.
01:02:23A lot going on, though.
01:02:25Just Venetia, no one else?
01:02:27No.
01:02:29Erm, did I hear you tell your wife that Ludo is still looking for the treasure?
01:02:35I guess you just can't leave it alone.
01:02:38Or is it more that he thinks it hasn't been found?
01:02:41I presume so, yeah.
01:02:44Have you ever seen Ludo with the new page from Bertram's book?
01:02:47No. Is it important?
01:02:50Is Ludo at home, Mr Trask?
01:02:51Yeah, I think so. I think he's, er...
01:02:54Sorry, erm...
01:02:55Sorry, it's done here. I'll call about later.
01:03:26Ludo.
01:03:39What are you doing?
01:03:46Sam, you're scaring me!
01:03:49Ludo?
01:03:52It's not here, sir.
01:03:53I'll get Uniform out searching for him so that we can question him first thing in the morning.
01:03:58Knowing him, he'll be back in the wards.
01:04:01Hmm.
01:04:03Well, if he is out searching for the treasure, then he definitely knows that the angel is a con.
01:04:08He's probably got the new page and he's trying to work out where to look next.
01:04:12That's what I'd be doing if I was him.
01:04:14Oh, would you, Winter?
01:04:17Because every picture we've been shown has turned out to be wrong.
01:04:22Just like Bertram's book, it presents as the truth, but everything is just an illusion.
01:04:31And because of that, none of what we've learned makes sense.
01:04:40Who's ready?
01:04:52You're not still annoyed. You made it through to the final.
01:04:55That's not the point.
01:04:57There I am, trying to win much needed funding for the school, and your phone goes off.
01:05:01And phones are strictly forbidden during a quiz.
01:05:03No more phones, I promise.
01:05:05Well, assuming I allow you to attend.
01:05:08Winter's coming as well. I think he's bought pom-poms.
01:05:11You're now making it worse for yourself.
01:05:21Did I tell you I was interviewed by a journalist?
01:05:24She's writing a piece on the history of the quiz, how prestigious it is, etc.
01:05:28Sounds like you'd better bring this trophy home.
01:05:32It turned out she's the same reporter that outed Bertram Jewell at his book signing.
01:05:36She was very intrigued by him and she told me that she's convinced there's a connection between the quiz and Bertram Jewell's death.
01:05:43Really? Why would that be?
01:05:46She didn't go into any detail.
01:05:48All the same, it sounds like she knows a lot more than she told Winter.
01:05:54Winter, did you ever find the detective on the Bertram case?
01:05:59Well, while you're waiting, you can contact the reporter who was at Bertram's book launch. I want to talk to her.
01:06:07If this ends in the quiz being cancelled...
01:06:18What on earth are you doing? You said you were done with Bertram's book.
01:06:23I think I've figured out the final clue.
01:06:25How dare you?
01:06:27After what he did!
01:06:29What are you talking about?
01:06:31I told you to forget about him!
01:06:34You may be going to Oxford, but I'm the clever one here.
01:06:43Sir.
01:06:45Ah, thank you for coming in.
01:06:47As long as there's a story in it for me.
01:06:49What can you tell us about Bertram Jewell's murder?
01:06:53I was wondering if you'd be in touch again. What do you want to know?
01:06:56Well, what's got me curious is you started off writing an article about a pub quiz, but somehow it connects to Bertram's murder.
01:07:04It came about when I interviewed Joel Myhill. It was just a puff piece to begin with, but then he told me what happened to his wife.
01:07:10How she died was horrible, so I started putting two and two together.
01:07:14And?
01:07:16Helena Myhill died because of a gas leak. Her house went up in flames with her in it.
01:07:21Helena Myhill was the person Bertram killed 24 years ago, sir.
01:07:26Scarlett Myhill will have heard the name Robert Grimes at the book signing.
01:07:30I'd say that's a strong possibility. Thank you, Billy.
01:07:33Wait, will I get first dibs on the story?
01:07:36Mr. Myhill, you reinstated Othello Khan to your quiz. Why was that?
01:07:42I realised that Bertram had been lying about Othello.
01:07:45If it helps any, we've looked into Bertram's past crime.
01:07:49Do you want to tell us what happened on the night he was killed?
01:07:53It's all right, Joel. It'll be all over the local papers soon enough.
01:07:57So I thought I'd drop in to remind you both that I took my punishment and I did my time.
01:08:05I will always be sorry.
01:08:08Ever since I discovered who you were, I've been afraid of this.
01:08:13But as soon as my real name started being bandied around, well, look at me.
01:08:17I came to see you straight away.
01:08:19I'm not afraid of you.
01:08:20I've been afraid of this.
01:08:22But as soon as my real name started being bandied around, well, look at me.
01:08:26I came to see you straight away.
01:08:28Now that's how you measure a man. Not from what he was, but from what he is now.
01:08:38Mr. Myhill?
01:08:42I had no idea that I had made friends with my wife's killer.
01:08:47Do you know what he did?
01:08:48He sat here and he said that he'd served his penance and that we should just accept that.
01:08:54And he thought everything would be okay between you?
01:08:57Well, he'd always be sorry and that he'd been a great friend.
01:09:01But that we should also remember that he'd helped get Scarlett into Oxford.
01:09:04But you couldn't agree less, could you?
01:09:07Scarlett and I were furious and he had no idea.
01:09:11He thought he could just wander off into the night.
01:09:14I was just a guy who ran a wine bar when I met Eleanor.
01:09:19And she was this brilliant, brilliant person.
01:09:25There's no way that she should have been interested in me.
01:09:28No way on earth.
01:09:31But she was.
01:09:33And that's what made it so...
01:09:36precious.
01:09:37And he took that from me.
01:09:40And from Scarlett.
01:09:44Tell me about Venetia Butts.
01:09:47What about her?
01:09:48Did he tell you that she was also involved in his gas alarm con?
01:09:52Venetia was involved as well?
01:09:54Are you serious?
01:09:56Did he tell you, Mr. Myhill?
01:09:58No. No, he didn't tell me.
01:10:00And if you think that I'm lying, I'm not lying.
01:10:02Are you serious?
01:10:03Did he tell you, Mr. Myhill?
01:10:05No. No, he didn't tell me.
01:10:07And if you think that means that I killed her and Bertram, I wouldn't do that.
01:10:12Come on, I couldn't do that.
01:10:14Eleanor would be so disappointed in me.
01:10:17Everything I do, the quiz, everything, is to keep her memory alive.
01:10:21To keep her name alive.
01:10:23Year after year.
01:10:24All the same, we'll still need to know where you were.
01:10:28I'm here every night with my regulars.
01:10:32You can ask them if you don't believe me.
01:10:34You might be Mr. Myhill, but I presume your daughter isn't.
01:10:38In fact, where is Scarlet right now?
01:10:43I don't know.
01:11:02It's okay.
01:11:04Don't be alarmed or scared.
01:11:06This is a place of peace and worship and above all else, hope.
01:11:11No harm can befall anyone here.
01:11:14I saw the light, you see.
01:11:16And I know you will too.
01:11:32No harm can befall anyone here.
01:11:56Fleur?
01:11:58First impressions are he was held down and drowned in one of these buckets.
01:12:03Then dragged here and staged as is.
01:12:06No sign of a struggle?
01:12:08Judging from the pungent odour of alcohol, playing dunk the drunk with him would have been over in seconds.
01:12:14Do we know when he was killed?
01:12:16I'd say an hour either side of 9pm.
01:12:28I'm very sorry, Mrs. Butts, but we do need to ask you a few questions.
01:12:34I'll try my best.
01:12:37Why is it that you only discovered your husband this morning?
01:12:41I went to bed early. I was exhausted.
01:12:45So much has happened recently.
01:12:48You didn't see or hear anyone at the church last night?
01:12:51No.
01:12:53When was the last time you spoke to your husband?
01:12:55Yesterday.
01:12:57He was ringing the bell for all he was worth.
01:13:01He really frightened me.
01:13:04He was acting like a madman.
01:13:11I'll get Tech to find out if he made any calls, or vice versa.
01:13:15Also, the killer's style's changed.
01:13:17Changed in what way?
01:13:19Reverend Butts wasn't positioned as a page from Bertram's book.
01:13:22He was clearly posed, though.
01:13:23Absolutely, but it's something new altogether.
01:13:35Yeah, if it stings, that means it's doing you good.
01:13:41Miss Myhill, we had hoped to speak to you yesterday.
01:13:45Me? Why?
01:13:47I told them what Bertram had said to us.
01:13:49Can you tell us where you were yesterday evening?
01:13:50I went for a walk.
01:13:52Did your walk take in the church?
01:13:54It may have done.
01:13:56Then I went to the woods.
01:13:58I had to clear my head, try and calm down.
01:14:00Because?
01:14:02I'd just seen Ludo.
01:14:04Told him he was as bad as Bertram, which he most definitely is.
01:14:07Were you alone in the woods?
01:14:09For goodness sake.
01:14:11Scarlet's got a bright future ahead of her. She's not going to jeopardise that.
01:14:13Three people have died, Mr Myhill.
01:14:15This is ridiculous. I can't take this anymore.
01:14:17Dad, it's all right.
01:14:18No, it's not all right.
01:14:20Because that monster sat there and he just expected us all to carry on.
01:14:23As if everything was all right.
01:14:25I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything.
01:14:27I just stood there useless. Helena would be so ashamed.
01:14:30Dad, stop!
01:14:39So, is that the new page?
01:14:48Yes.
01:14:55Eva!
01:14:59What am I going to do, Danny?
01:15:02I've lost everything.
01:15:11I didn't put that there.
01:15:13You may not have, Mr Myhill, but you seemed rather keen to stop your father.
01:15:18When I saw him, he was getting really upset.
01:15:20Sebastian Buss was found in a pose that doesn't correspond to any of the pictures in Bertram's original book,
01:15:28but does correspond to the image on this page.
01:15:32Why would you keep it, though? Surely it makes more sense to destroy it.
01:15:35I didn't put it there. It is the first I've seen of it. I've never once opened that stupid book.
01:15:40Where were you really last night, Mr Myhill?
01:15:43Wherever I said. In the woods.
01:15:44Sir, the villagers said that they spotted Ludo Trask outside the church last night.
01:15:49I can back that up, because that's where we had our row.
01:16:15You'd be so proud of me. You really would.
01:16:30I assume you recognise this, Ludo?
01:16:33Snap. Sort of.
01:16:38I'm sorry.
01:16:40Snap. Sort of.
01:16:44Was it you that Reverend Butts heard arguing with Venetia?
01:16:48All the way from the church? How could he?
01:16:50We're talking about just before she was killed.
01:16:52She was horrible to me. Why would I go and see her?
01:16:54So what were you doing at the church yesterday evening?
01:16:57Solving the new page.
01:16:59Part of the answer's in the letters in the stained glass.
01:17:03It spells out C cover.
01:17:06You say it quickly, it sounds like seek over.
01:17:09The treasure's not even in Maud's mire.
01:17:11I did tell you that.
01:17:13Though sadly, it isn't anywhere, Ludo. This new page is yet another con.
01:17:17What? No. Don't say that.
01:17:23You can stay in Bertram's old room, and it's not ideal, but it is better than nothing.
01:17:28As long as there's no trace of him. Or Bert Grimes, for that matter.
01:17:33Excuse me.
01:17:36He referred to himself as Bert.
01:17:39Sometimes.
01:17:41He told me that Robert had ended where Bertram had begun.
01:17:47It's just another silly riddle of his.
01:17:54And only one other person knows that.
01:18:03Track down that ex-detective, and then do one other thing for me.
01:18:18Is the job done?
01:18:23Bert.
01:18:24Sorry?
01:18:26It's short for Robert.
01:18:29It was almost the first thing you said to me.
01:18:32I'm afraid Mr. Jewell's body was found in the woods this morning.
01:18:35But I was dead.
01:18:40I always call him that.
01:18:42No, but you don't, Mr. Trask. I haven't heard you say it since.
01:18:45Possibly because you knew you were dead.
01:18:48I don't know.
01:18:49No, but you don't, Mr. Trask. I haven't heard you say it since.
01:18:52Possibly because you knew you'd slipped up.
01:18:55Sir.
01:18:57A tech have just told me that Reverend Butts called Eli the day he died.
01:19:01Just before he started ringing the bell.
01:19:04Sorry. It's Danny. I'll call him back.
01:19:09When he didn't get through on the phone, he decided to get your attention another way.
01:19:16I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:19:20Did you get the other information I requested, Winter?
01:19:23Yes, sir. The detective from the original case dug out an old notebook and it all came back to him.
01:19:29It mentioned another person of interest in Bertram's Gas Con.
01:19:33And the name of this person?
01:19:35Eli Trask.
01:19:38When Bertram wandered into Danica's cafe, he'd really come looking for you.
01:19:45What did he want, Eli?
01:19:46Just to say hello.
01:19:49Oh, I think it was more than that.
01:19:51I think it was the first time you'd set eyes on him since he went to prison.
01:20:02I didn't know I had it in me.
01:20:05What I've done. I mean, where did that version of me come from?
01:20:13Do you want to tell me what happened?
01:20:16What happened?
01:20:26I'd helped Bert build the gas alarms.
01:20:29We were going to expand, we were going to make loads of them.
01:20:33But then when I heard about the explosion and that Bert had confessed, I realised he'd given me the opportunity to run.
01:20:40So I did.
01:20:42I left Causton, moved to Modsmire, met Danny.
01:20:45He was pregnant.
01:20:47And we started a new life here.
01:20:50Until he found you again.
01:20:53It wasn't too bad at first.
01:20:55It was just the odd visit.
01:20:57But then Joel Myhill bought the pub seven years ago.
01:21:02I mean, what are the odds that he'd choose the same village?
01:21:08And when I learned the name of his dead wife, I couldn't believe it.
01:21:12It was like some sort of karma was coming to get me.
01:21:17I told Bert, but he said not to worry about it. He had a new name.
01:21:21And the Myhills would never figure out who he was.
01:21:24Why did you let him move in with you?
01:21:27I hadn't a choice.
01:21:29Bert had blown all the money he'd earned from the book.
01:21:32And I said I owed him for taking the rap all those years ago.
01:21:35He wanted a room. I gave him one.
01:21:36He needed cash.
01:21:38I gave him that as well.
01:21:43What happened in the woods, Eli?
01:21:47I knew it could all come out.
01:21:50After the book signing.
01:21:53So I had to speak to him.
01:21:55Bertram.
01:21:57You've got to keep my name out of this.
01:22:00There's more important things going on just now.
01:22:02Bert, please.
01:22:03Let me fix my little treasure problem first.
01:22:06Then we'll talk.
01:22:08I realized that Bert was up to his old tricks again.
01:22:15The treasure was a fake.
01:22:18And all I could think was I couldn't let Ludo waste any more of his life
01:22:22looking for something that was never there in the first place.
01:22:25So I swung that spade as hard as I could.
01:22:29It dawned on me that I had to do something.
01:22:32It dawned on me that maybe I could make it look like a crazed fan had done it.
01:22:37And while I was posing him, I thought that I heard someone, but...
01:22:41I didn't see anyone.
01:22:43But Venetia sought me out later that same evening.
01:22:46Told me that she'd seen everything, including where I'd hid the spade.
01:22:50Told me to hand over the angel and that she'd never say a word.
01:22:54I'm intrigued.
01:22:56Why give her the angel knowing it was a fake?
01:22:58Because I thought that would be enough for her.
01:23:01At the end of a ten year search.
01:23:03I had no idea she intended to sell it to help Sebastian square the church box.
01:23:07And then she threatened my boy.
01:23:10When all I was trying to do was get him living again.
01:23:13I had to get her to meet me somewhere quiet.
01:23:17So I used the one thing I knew she couldn't resist.
01:23:20Either Othello is trying to con me or you are.
01:23:23Now which is it?
01:23:25I'm not like him, Venetia.
01:23:26I'm not like him, Venetia. I promise you.
01:23:29I just want all this to go away.
01:23:31Well then, you'd better come up with something very good, very quickly.
01:23:36What about the page?
01:23:38The new one. What if I gave you that?
01:23:41Well then.
01:23:53Sebastian heard me and Venetia arguing.
01:23:57Swore to me that he only needed enough money to sort the church out.
01:24:01Even though you'd killed his mother?
01:24:05Said that he had to save himself and Ava and that I could fund that.
01:24:08Not much, just enough.
01:24:10But I was talking to a drunk.
01:24:13And you couldn't trust him?
01:24:15I was getting Ludo back.
01:24:17That's all that mattered.
01:24:19If I could give my son the chance of a proper life away from Bertram and his book.
01:24:24By trying to frame the Myhills?
01:24:26That's what coming into contact with Burt Grimes does to people.
01:24:30It twists and turns them into horrible versions of themselves.
01:24:36I'd found the page in my lockup.
01:24:38It was the only other place that Bertram went between leaving the pub and going to the woods.
01:24:43Mr Trask?
01:24:45I thought, what would Burt do?
01:24:47And so, I slipped the page into the book while I was putting the notice board up in the pub.
01:24:53And I thought, I'd go back there and I'd say I found it while I was finishing off.
01:25:00You'd do some digging and blame it on one of the Myhills.
01:25:09The trouble is, Eli, the only person who would benefit from framing the Myhills
01:25:16would first have to know that they had a motive for killing Bertram.
01:25:20And the only people who'd possibly know that would be Bertram himself.
01:25:24And his accomplice from 24 years ago.
01:25:31I never did have Bertram's brains.
01:25:34I beg to differ, Mr Trask.
01:25:35I'd say you offered up a puzzle the equal of any in his book.
01:25:55The ceramic box, sir.
01:25:58So, Bertram only posed with it in that publicity shot to make it look like he was going to bury the treasure in it.
01:26:03Indeed he did.
01:26:05He never missed a trick, did he?
01:26:07A waste of a great mind, if you ask me.
01:26:09Did I tell you I lost a girlfriend over Bertram's book?
01:26:12I know, I know. She was really nice as well.
01:26:16Life is all about the bigger picture, Wictor.
01:26:20But don't worry, I'm sure you'll see it one day.
01:26:23Name the hospital where the first human heart transplant took place.
01:26:27In terms of volume, which is the largest freshwater lake in the world?
01:26:30Lake Baikal.
01:26:32People with electrophobia are afraid of?
01:26:35Chickens.
01:26:37What is the world's oldest known musical instrument?
01:26:39A flute.
01:26:41Oh, what a fabulous final round.
01:26:46Now, just a reminder, we have Othello on 22 points and Sarah has just scored 22 points.
01:26:55Ladies and gentlemen, looks like we have a tiebreaker.
01:26:58That means the next person to answer the question correctly will win.
01:27:04Sarah, are you ready?
01:27:06Yes, I am.
01:27:08Othello?
01:27:10I was born ready.
01:27:12Right, here comes the final question.
01:27:15Mod's mire is an anagram of what?
01:27:24It's obvious, isn't it?
01:27:29Perhaps I should enter next year.
01:27:31I'm going to have to hurry you.
01:27:34So I've got it, Midsommar.
01:27:36Correct! We have a winner!
01:27:39Congratulations.
01:27:50Congratulations.
01:27:52Thank you, Rupert.
01:27:54Well done, well done.
01:27:58Well done.
01:28:28Congratulations, Rupert.
