00:31Hi.
00:32I've had this conversation before, I just don't understand, I'm sorry, this is the way it is.

03:46Hello John
03:48Lucy
03:49I know, it's not even a birthday or an anniversary. I need a favour, a big one.
03:55How big?
03:56Pretty big, it's going to involve you having to leave the house and get into the taxi that I've booked for you.
04:04Taxi?
04:08There's a taxi outside my house? Lucy, why is there a taxi outside my house?
04:13Because I've known you since we were six years old.
04:15Five and four months.
04:16Meaning I know all too well that the only way I'm going to get you to travel the 140 plus miles to Cambridge is if I book you one.
04:23And then very annoyingly refuse to tell you why on the phone.
04:26What? That's ridiculous. Lucy, I can't just...
04:30I'll match whatever you're making for dinner, like for like.
04:33Given that it's Sunday, I am assuming pasta.
04:39Carbonara.
04:42John?
04:43No, Lucy, I'm not...
04:46Please.
04:50See you soon.
04:53Bye.
05:17John Taylor?
05:18Yes.
05:19Hi, I'm Chris.
05:21Cambridge, yeah?
05:22It's a long drive. Are you the kind of guy that likes to talk?
05:25Or shall I stick on the radio?
05:30Radio it is.
05:34Can you turn that off, please?
05:51Oh, my God.
06:22Don't get mud on your dad's new car.
06:25Where is dad?
06:27He's been called into the office.
06:30Again.
06:32But then he's off for Christmas and New Year.
06:38I'm sorry.
06:40I'm sorry.
06:42I'm sorry.
06:44I'm sorry.
06:46I'm sorry.
06:48I'm sorry.
06:50Why are you so dirty?
06:52Pee.
06:53Well, then why St James?
06:55Because he didn't get deliberately pushed over.
07:06Hello.
07:07Elvis Presley of Puzzle Setters.
07:10See, you survived a taxi trip. Well done.
07:13Henry!
07:14Henry!
07:18The spare bedroom's all made up. Three pillows, just how you like it.
07:22Goodness, your travel light.
07:24Yes, well, my packing town was somewhat limited.
07:28It really is good to see you, John.
07:31Hi, Uncle John.
07:34Henry.
07:36You're taller.
07:38Yes, well, teenagers do tend to grow over the course of a year.
07:44Dinner in ten minutes, or five, if you're willing to set the table.
07:47Off you go.
07:50Right, now you've popped your bag down, maybe a good next step is to take your jacket off.
07:54Where's James?
07:55That's away. He's working a case.
08:00Lucy, what's all this about?
08:02Maybe we should talk after dinner.
08:04I think I'd be more comfortable knowing now.
08:06Oh, come on, John. When have you ever felt comfortable?
08:10Before you ask, no, I haven't sold any.
08:13And yes, I am still doing Endless Weddings and Bonditude Babies.
08:17And no, I most certainly am not artistically satisfied.
08:22I wasn't actually going to ask you any of those things.
08:25John, I need your help.
08:27Henry doesn't know anything about why you're here.
08:30I've told him you're on a work thingy, a convention.
08:35So, a puzzle convention?
08:37Yes. No, I don't know. I had to tell him something.
08:42Maybe you should sit down.
08:47Don't worry, I won't give you tetanus.
08:49So, it started a couple of months ago. James was on some case or other.
08:53I don't know. I didn't ask, I never asked. It was like some unwritten rule.
08:57You know, your brother spent day in and day out at some grisly murder scene or other.
09:02But when he came home to us, then DCI Taylor ceased to exist and he was just James.
09:08Our James.
09:09Lucy, why are you talking in the past tense?
09:13I didn't realise that I was.
09:19Well, maybe it's because for the last few months,
09:24our James wasn't the one coming home to us.
09:28What do you mean?
09:29I mean, he changed. Something about that last case changed him.
09:33He'd come in, he'd barely communicate, he'd lock himself away.
09:37I'd be asleep by the time he came upstairs.
09:39He'd be gone by the time I woke up.
09:42Until three nights ago, when he didn't come home at all.
09:51And then the next day, I received this. It's from him.
09:56B.A.R. Burn After Reading.
09:59It's sweet, isn't it? Do you remember when we were kids, the three of us, we used to pass those notes through the fence?
10:09DCS Shaw.
10:11It's his boss. It's a letter of resignation.
10:16He's done something right about this.
10:18Untrustworthy. Don't come back to it.
10:23What does any of this mean?
10:25Well, exactly what it says. It's a list of instructions.
10:28So, post the letter of resignation, and then get Henry, and just leave.
10:33I mean, as you can see, he doesn't feel the need to tell me why or where we're supposed to go, just that I am to do it.
10:38And that if anyone from his department tries to contact me, then...
10:41Don't talk to them. Don't meet with them.
10:44Don't believe them.
10:48That's it?
10:50Now, does anything about that letter strike you as odd?
10:55Yes! Everything!
10:57It's the single most terrifying thing I've ever read in my life.
11:00It's a letter of resignation.
11:02Does anything about that letter strike you as odd?
11:05Yes! Everything!
11:07It's the single most terrifying thing I've ever read in my life.
11:10No, John, that's not what I mean.
11:13I mean, look, John, you know me. In fact, the only person who knows me better is him.
11:17Would either of you expect me to read that, and then just go,
11:20Oh, I know, I'll do what I'm told, and I won't think any further on it, I'll just pop off.
11:25Does that even remotely sound like me?
11:28Not right now, it doesn't. No.
11:31Which brings me to the big favour.
11:33Lucy, I'm not sure...
11:35Just...
11:37OK, so I went into his home office looking for clues as to what he might have been working on,
11:43and there's nothing. He's been hidden in there for two months, nothing to show for it.
11:47Now, either he took his files and tatty orange notebook with him,
11:51or it's in his other office, the one at the police station.
11:56I can't access that. In fact, the only person that can is James.
12:01Or...
12:04somebody who looks remarkably like him.
12:13No!
12:15It's nothing, it's easy. It is in and out.
12:18Are you... No! Absolutely not!
12:21I've been there, I know the layouts. You won't have to talk to anybody.
12:23Really? And if they talk to me?
12:25Just stick to small talk, just keep walking.
12:27What small talk? Have you heard my small talk?
12:30This, right now, is about as good as it gets!
12:32Look, I've met most of his colleagues.
12:34I mean, I can brief you on all of them,
12:36certainly enough to get you through a piddly little visit to the office, just there and back.
12:40Lucy, stop! That would be illegal.
12:44James couldn't just abandon his family without reason.
12:49He knows what that feels like.
12:53If he's not telling you everything, it's because he's trying to keep you safe.
12:58This is how he does it.
13:01You don't get it.
13:04That isn't a letter that a husband of 20 years sends his wife,
13:08no matter how much he's trying to protect her.
13:11There's nothing personal in it.
13:14There's no comfort.
13:18No feeling.
13:20It's not the type of letter that...
13:23That's true.
13:26Maybe I shouldn't have involved you.
13:30I don't know, I should, um...
13:34I love you.
13:37Always have.
13:40Oh.
13:42I-L-O-V-E.
13:47It's an acrostic.
13:49We used as kids, so say one every kid learns.
13:53Oh, right!
13:54Right, yes, what?
13:56First letter of each sentence.
14:13I'll just be in and out, right?
14:19Oh, thank you.
14:21Thank you, John.
14:34How's this?
14:37Yes, you do look like him.
14:40Something's different.
14:42Of course something's different.
14:44I'm literally a different person.
14:47These pens will have to go.
14:49I might need them.
14:50Not in there.
14:51Not a school prefect.
14:54You'll need his car.
14:56James still has your dad's.
14:59Do you drive much these days?
15:17I'm sorry.
15:20I'm sorry.
15:47Okay.
15:55I've got his work phone.
15:57He left it.
15:58It's locked.
16:00I've got every date I can think of.
16:02My birthday, Henry's birthday.
16:05Too obvious.
16:06Try your first date.
16:08Am I supposed to remember when...
16:0923rd July 1991.
16:11You went to the village fair.
16:13Right.
16:15Nope.
16:16Historical dates then.
16:18Battle of Hastings.
16:19Signing of the Magna Carta.
16:21James always liked trains.
16:22Try the invention of the steam locomotive.
16:25I'm locked out for an hour now.
16:27When you get there, just look for his notebook.
16:29Tati, Orange, I'll keep trying the pin on this thing.
16:32Listen, we're going to have to keep in contact.
16:34Do you even own a mobile phone?
16:36Of course I do.
16:37You know I do.
16:38You bought it me for Christmas.
16:40No, I didn't.
16:42What? Wait.
16:44That was 20 years ago.
17:12Don't worry, we'll get something out of you.
17:14I'm sorry.
17:15I'm sorry.
17:16I'm sorry.
17:17I'm sorry.
17:18I'm sorry.
17:19I'm sorry.
17:20I'm sorry.
17:21I'm sorry.
17:22I'm sorry.
17:23I'm sorry.
17:24I'm sorry.
17:25I'm sorry.
17:26I'm sorry.
17:27I'm sorry.
17:28I'm sorry.
17:29I'm sorry.
17:30I'm sorry.
17:31I'm sorry.
17:32I'm sorry.
17:33I'm sorry.
17:34I'm sorry.
17:35I'm sorry.
17:36I'm sorry.
17:37I'm sorry.
17:38I'm sorry.
17:39I'm sorry.
17:40I'm sorry.
17:41I'm sorry.
18:01Detective Chief Superintendent Carol Shaw.
18:03I've never liked touching eyeballs.
18:06Especially mine.
18:07James doesn't wear glasses.
18:09Everybody's boss.
18:11Probably best to avoid.
18:27Hold! Hold!
18:35Do you see her, Taylor?
18:40Oh, yes. Hello.
18:44You.
18:48How's Henry?
18:52You know, kids today, with their...
18:55skateboards.
18:59Doors opening.
19:01Second floor.
19:09His team are on the second floor in front of the stairs.
19:13It's a large, open-plan room with shared desks and workspaces.
19:17They'll probably be manned, but don't worry about that.
19:20Just walk straight through.
19:40James's office is at the back on the left.
19:43Don't talk to anyone.
19:47Oh, James, hello.
20:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:15The I'm at Neville. They've worked together for ten years.
20:18James is his best man. He knows him better than anybody else.
20:21Memorise this face.
20:23He's the only one you can trust.
20:25But be careful.
20:31Oh, there you are, Gav.
20:34PHONE RINGS
20:38New pants.
20:40PHONE RINGS
20:42Looking sharp.
20:46Anyway, here's a good one.
20:48Some big-shot solicitor guy found in his office this morning
20:51with an antique letter opener stuck in his chest.
20:54Been there all weekend, apparently.
20:56Rest of the team already down there.
20:58PHONE RINGS
21:00Gav, that block's this way.
21:03Um, yes, I just, um...
21:05I need to get something from my office.
21:08What?
21:10My gun.
21:12Your gun?
21:14Gun.
21:16Curry night, was it?
21:18Don't worry, I've got some Tic Tacs in the car.
21:21Come on. Come on, let's go.
21:26There's only, like, ten people in the whole building.
21:29No CCTV, but security on the door.
21:31You have to sign in when you arrive, sign out when you leave,
21:34which, according to this sheet, they all did, including the victim.
21:38Is there something in your eye, Gav?
21:40Sorry, new contacts.
21:42But for some reason I don't wear glasses, you see.
21:45Oh, OK.
21:47Well, I guess that explains the parking.
21:56Are you all right?
21:58Um, yeah, good, great.
22:00I just, I need to make a quick phone call on my mobile telephone.
22:05OK.
22:07OK.
22:31John?
22:33I didn't get to the office, there's no Matt Neville,
22:35I'm back outside and I'm supposed to be attending a crime scene.
22:38What? I didn't get to the office, there's no Matt Neville,
22:41I'm back outside... Listen, I heard you the first time, John.
22:43What do you mean, there's no Matt Neville?
22:45I mean, James has a completely different partner
22:47from the one you told me about, that's what I mean.
22:49One that sat waiting for me to go and look at a dead solicitor with him.
22:54No, that doesn't make any sense.
22:56I'm sure he would have told me if Matt had left,
22:58or if he had a new partner, or...
23:01I mean, wouldn't he?
23:04He's looking at me.
23:05Yes, it's probably not helped by the fact that you're standing there
23:07holding a phone that's older than the Bible.
23:09Oh, God, I'm going to prison, aren't I?
23:10No, you're not going to prison.
23:12I'm impersonating a police officer.
23:14Yes, but he's your brother.
23:16That's really not the legal loophole you think it is.
23:20Oh, Henry School is calling.
23:22What? So?
23:25Lucy, what am I going to do?
23:27Look, you've got no choice, you're going to have to wing it.
23:29I mean, it's easy, you're lead detective, so just, um, delegate.
23:32Delegate?
23:33Yes, let them do their jobs, maybe gauge their reactions,
23:36see if they're acting sus.
23:38Look, the main thing is you need to get back to the station
23:40and into that office.
23:42John, you can do this.
23:44Lucy, you can't still think...
23:45Please, John, look, if nobody's noticed so far, you'll be fine.
23:47Call me if you need me.
23:49What? Wait! Lucy!
23:53OK, bye.
24:03RADIO PLAYS
24:23You good?
24:25MUSIC PLAYS
24:31Oh! Ow!
24:33COUGHS
24:55What are you doing?
24:57Nothing, um, making notes.
25:04Morning.
25:06Morning.
25:17You're doing a fine job, well done.
25:20Let's start with taking the stairs.
25:35Morning.
25:37Morning.
25:43Oh, there you are.
25:45Detective Constable Simon Evans, youngest member of the team,
25:48I think he's into his graphic novels.
25:52Know much about superheroes?
25:55Well, I do know that he still lives with his mother,
25:57so if you get stuck, then just ask after her.
26:03Oh, that's a nice selection of pens, sir.
26:09Yeah.
26:11Right, OK, yes, so we've commanded the biggest conference room in the building.
26:14I've got them all gathered in there.
26:16Everyone who was here Friday.
26:18I haven't questioned them as such,
26:20but I have taken a detailed statement of their movements at the time.
26:23Now, I mean, it all gets a bit, er...
26:25Ah!
26:26No, they were in and out, up and down, all over the place, really,
26:29but, um, I figured you'd want to talk to them all separately anyway, so...
26:33No, I'm all right, thanks.
26:37Oh.
26:39Um...
26:41Yeah, DCI Taylor's right, we're not talking to anybody until we visit a...
26:44You weren't kidding, were you?
26:46That's like a guard's number.
26:48No, we're not talking to anybody until we've visited the scene,
26:51so just try and keep them entertained for now.
26:53Sir.
27:00How's your mum?
27:02Oh, very well, thank you, sir, yeah.
27:05Good.
27:07Well, she has actually started dating him.
27:10I'll see you in there.
27:15HE PANTS
27:21Morning.
27:27No, there's not.
27:29OK. Morning, sir.
27:31Detective Sergeant Alice Finch, Shaw's protégé.
27:34Ambitious. Very letter of the law.
27:37Probably spent her teenage years
27:39dubbing in fellow students to the head.
27:41Lives for the job.
27:43Rule of thumb with her,
27:45don't attempt witty repartee.
27:48Actually, just be you.
27:54This feels big. Really big.
27:57Like six-part docudrama big.
27:59Phone records.
28:01Had the provider emailed them through.
28:03So there was an incoming call Friday afternoon at 17.06 hours.
28:06It was page go, unregistered, and it connected.
28:09There's no answer service set up on the office phone
28:12if nobody's here, it just rings out.
28:14So somebody was definitely here at 17.06 hours.
28:17Although, according to the security book,
28:20both the assistant and the victim
28:22signed out at 17.03 and 17.05, respectively.
28:26Yes, but it's pretty safe to assume he was here, Sergeant,
28:29given the fact that, you know, he still is.
28:32Do you want to come take a look at this?
28:34No, thank you.
28:36So, nobody reported him missing over the whole weekend?
28:39No. Divorced. No children.
28:42I'm just going to come out and say this, yeah?
28:44This feels professional.
28:46Like organised crime professional.
28:48Someone trying to send a message.
28:50I think that we need to look if he was working any big criminal trials.
28:53You know, people that might have the reason, the resources,
28:55or the connection to just put the brakes on.
28:57He did convincing law.
29:02Sir?
29:04Probably not too many big criminal trials then, Sergeant.
29:07But hey, maybe a disgruntled estate agent.
29:10Well then, I think it's about time that we introduced ourselves
29:13to the chorus line, don't you?
29:31Right, how long are we going to be here?
29:33Until we've ascertained everybody's whereabouts
29:35at the time of the incident.
29:37And how long will that be?
29:39We've already been through all this with him.
29:41Calm down, Brian. What?
29:43I'm just saying, I never knew the guy. I barely even spoke to him.
29:45I couldn't even tell you his name.
29:47Alan Howells.
29:52All right.
29:54All right, I'm sorry.
29:56But I honestly never knew the guy.
29:58None of us did. It's three different companies, three different floors.
30:01We share the same building, that's all.
30:03I've never even been on this floor before.
30:05It's nice, though.
30:07Gov, do you want to...
30:11Hmm?
30:13Do I want to what?
30:16OK, well, in that case,
30:18regardless of floors or companies,
30:20you were the only people in the building on that Friday.
30:23How do you know that? It's not Fort Knox.
30:25I don't just let people walk in.
30:27You're not always there, though, are you?
30:30Well, you said earlier you went to check a fire door.
30:33Well, yeah. The alarm was going off.
30:35Right, there you have it. Somebody broken in the back.
30:38Well, if they did, then they walked straight back out again.
30:41You got to go through another set of fire doors to get into the main building.
30:44None of those went off.
30:46OK, fine, somebody came in the front when you were out back.
30:48Brilliant. What? I'm just saying, it's not rocket science, is it?
30:51The alarm went off at three minutes past five.
30:54That was just after the phone call.
30:57Are you OK, sir? Is it hot in here?
31:00Not especially, no.
31:02Excuse me. Sorry, what phone call?
31:06Someone called your office off an unregistered number.
31:09I take it you're not the one who answered it. No.
31:11And I was back behind my desk by then?
31:13By which point, anybody could have waltzed in. That's all I'm saying.
31:16Well, did any of you see anybody waltzing in,
31:18waltzing up to the third floor and waltzing down again
31:21during the three-minute window where everybody seemed to be
31:24either on the stairs or inside the lift?
31:33In that case, let me ask this.
31:35Did any of you, throughout the whole of Friday,
31:37see anyone in this building who isn't currently sat around this table?
31:41I didn't see anything, but I don't know half the people sat around here.
31:44How can you not have seen me? I was right there.
31:47And don't you dare think that I don't know that you spent most of the afternoon in the toilet.
31:52Why am I still sat here in this room having to poop?
32:00Do your job!
32:02Go.
32:03DCI Taylor.
32:05Are you all right?
32:07I think I need some air.
32:13It's a push, sir.
32:21It's a push.
32:51It's a push.
33:01John?
33:02I want to go home.
33:04My home, my house, my life.
33:06I can't do this, Lucy. I don't know how anybody can.
33:09I don't know how James ever did.
33:12Look, I know it's not easy.
33:17But James chose to do this job because...
33:20I'm not talking about his job. I'm talking about all of it.
33:23I'm talking about just getting up in the morning and leaving the house.
33:27Coming out here to...
33:30This or this!
33:32Crowds and noise and buildings and offices and computers and people.
33:39Nobody seeing each other and everybody talking at once.
33:42Alarms going off, phones ringing.
33:45Everybody moving around, up and down and in and out.
33:48No order to any of it. No structure, no purpose.
33:52You do realise that in many ways, James was as intimidated by the world as you.
33:58It was easier for him.
34:00He had you.
34:05Look, you and James, you're so alike, but...
34:13John, I remember the day that your father left.
34:17Night. Night he left.
34:20New Year's Eve, 1989.
34:22Yes.
34:23But it changed you both.
34:25James, it pushed him forward, gave him drive, made him want to take on the whole world.
34:32Whereas it made you...
34:35Just want to hide from it. Yes, I know, and I'd quite like to go back to that now, please.
34:39And you can, tomorrow.
34:41But first, I just need you to get back to the station and find his notebook.
34:46It's just one day. One day in a life.
34:48I mean, if you think about it logically, you can get through one day.
34:50Logic doesn't come into it.
34:52If it were up to me, everything would be logical.
34:54The whole world. But it isn't, is it?
34:57It doesn't work that way.
34:59Things don't always fit neatly into some ordered, structured, 15 by 15 grid,
35:05like some sort of puzzle.
35:10I know it's difficult. It is.
35:12But I really do have things...
35:14Hello?
35:15Sorry?
35:16Bit awkward, really. I think I might just have solved a murder.
35:20I'll call you back.
35:21Are you thinking of what...
35:45Please, please, please.
36:10Is it OK if I use this?
36:12Yeah, sure.
36:22OK, so what we're looking at here is a concatenation of syllogisms, obviously.
36:28A series of statements and propositions, one of which will be false,
36:31but which we can weed out via a process of cross-reference and deductive reason.
36:36It's a logic puzzle.
36:38In this room, we have seven subjects, or suspects.
36:42I will label you A to G for simplicity.
36:45Three definitive facts, presumably connected.
36:48The fire door alarm, the phone call and the murder itself.
36:51I'll label them 1 to 3.
36:54Plus, of course, the alleged movements of everyone in this column
36:57within the timescale of the factual events contained in this one,
37:00which we'll put into a third column of seven, T to Z.
37:05So, C was exiting the elevator in the foyer at the same time as D was leaving by the front.
37:12Both statements confirm the other,
37:14which means that neither C nor D could have been present at factual events 1 and 2,
37:18so we can cross those off,
37:20which naturally means we can also put crosses here and here and here,
37:24since this dictates that A and E could not have been present at that location at that time,
37:28or else they would have crossed with C or D.
37:31Do you follow?
37:32No.
37:37Hello, hello, hello.
37:38Listen, we're going to have to do the legwork on this one.
37:40And we know that E was still in the office at the time of factual event 1,
37:43which was verified by A, who left immediately afterwards.
37:46Alice, you're going to want to see this.
37:48A signed out just after G, who had left the building between factual events 1 and 2.
37:53F left the building last and locked it up, leaving no one inside but Mr Howell.
37:59Which in turn locks off the rest of everything for A in this column and this column,
38:04meaning that F must be movement Y in this column, locking off all of these ones.
38:12And there we go.
38:16Only one subject remains that could possibly have been at events 1, 2 and 3.
38:21Opening the fire door to create a distraction, an opportunity to forge Mr Howell's signature,
38:25making the telephone call to delay his departure,
38:28and finally making their way up the stairwell to his office,
38:31just as the last of the other subjects was leaving.
38:34Therefore, we have our killer.
38:44And that person is?
38:47Well, B.
38:49B?
38:52B?
38:54Oh, sorry. Sarah Gilmarsh.
39:01Are you joking? What the hell are you talking about?
39:04Why would Sarah want to murder some solicitor bloke she barely even knew?
39:08I have absolutely no idea.
39:10Right, I think it's best if we all just take time to think a bit more about this
39:16and regroup, relax, you know, everybody.
39:20I'm sorry.
39:29I'm so, so sorry.
39:34I didn't plan any of this, I swear.
39:37No, you definitely did.
39:39You set off a fire alarm, faked a telephone call and forged a signature.
39:42Yeah, but I never wanted any of this to happen.
39:48Well, you probably shouldn't have done it then.
39:56OK.
39:59Um, Sergeant, would you like to do the honours?
40:06Sarah Gilmarsh, I am arresting you on suspicion of murder.
40:09You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
40:11if you do not mention my question, something which you later rely on in court.
40:14Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
40:19DOOR OPENS
40:25Is it OK if we go back to the police station now?
40:49HE CHUCKLES
40:51Well, well, well, if there's anything I'm taking from today,
40:54it's that maybe I should start making notes before attending a crime scene too.
40:58I mean, they told me you were brilliant when I transferred,
41:01but I did not expect something of this level in my second week.
41:05You've only been here two weeks.
41:07Oh, you're going to tell me it feels like a lot longer, are you?
41:10Well, you know what, I choose to take that as a compliment.
41:13HE CHUCKLES
41:15HE SIGHS
41:31I'll be in my office if you need me, Gavin.
41:33Oh, great. Yes, me too.
41:36There it is.

43:08Gav?
43:11DCI TAYLOR
43:19APPLAUSE
43:31Congratulations, sir!
43:34Full confession, crime of passion, would you believe it?
43:37Crime of passion, would you believe it?
43:39They're having an affair for six years.
43:41He chose to end it, she chose to end him.
43:44Sorry, we do realise that if she hadn't confessed, we'd have nothing.
43:49Like, there was no actual evidence.
43:51Yes, well, fortunately for us, Sergeant Finch, she did.
43:55I'm reliably informed you went slightly unorthodox on this one, DCI Taylor.
44:02Nonetheless, results speak for themselves,
44:05so I suppose congratulations are in order.
44:09Thank you very much.
44:14Mum.
44:16Yes, yes, sure.
44:18Chief Constable Ziegler, I wasn't aware you were in the station today.
44:21No, it's just a flying visit. I would like a quick word if you're not too busy.
44:25Yes, of course, sir. Two minutes.
44:29MUSIC PLAYS
44:34Ah, the Icata. It's good to see you.
44:37Settling in OK, are we? Yes, yes, thank you, sir.
44:40Good. Good.
44:42I'll be in your office.
44:46Right then, another 90 seconds of celebrating,
44:49and then on to the paperwork, please.
44:51Let's see if we can get that wrapped up as quickly as the case.
44:59This is something of a new look for you, isn't it, Detective Chief Inspector?
45:04Mm-hm.
45:06Oh, yes, thank you for noticing.
45:13Um, Mum...
45:15Um, Mum...
45:45MUSIC PLAYS
46:15MUSIC CONTINUES
46:45MUSIC STOPS
46:56I thought you were resting.
46:58My phone charger's not working.
47:00Oh, you need your phone to rest.
47:02Hello.
47:05That was quite the puzzle convention.
47:11I think there's a charger in my studio.
47:13Just care for what you're unplugging.
47:18So, the pens are back. For easy access.
47:21And I'll have you know I've been getting compliments on my attire all day.
47:25What was it you were saying...?
47:27Follow me.
47:29What were you saying about a murder?
47:31Oh, that. Yes, I solved it.
47:35Everyone seemed very pleased.
47:37You solved a murder?
47:40But...
47:42I don't care. I need to show you something.
47:44I cracked the code on the phone.
47:46It was a significant date.
47:48One only he, and of course you, would never forget.
47:51New Year's Eve, 1989.
47:54Oh, the night Dad left.
47:56He'd cleared the calls and texts
47:59and he'd attempted to delete a photo, which I've restored.
48:02I'm not sure that James quite understands how the cloud works.
48:06What cloud?
48:08Yes. Look at this.
48:12That's nice.
48:14Hmm? No, not that.
48:16Sorry, I've gone too far back.
48:18Not that. No.
48:20Not that.
48:22No, no, no.
48:24You know we do invite you every year.
48:26You do. He doesn't.
48:28Would you come if you did?
48:30Oh, here it is.
48:35No clue who this chap is.
48:37That's Chief Constable Ziegler.
48:39Who?
48:41Who's Chief Constable Ziegler?
48:43Someone else at the station you didn't warn me about. That's who.
48:45Yes, sorry about that, John.
48:47I may have slightly exaggerated my knowledge of that place.
48:52Well, you wouldn't have gone there otherwise, would you?
48:54Obviously not.
48:56But since I did...
48:58Oh, you found it.
49:04Looks like a cipher. Polyalphabetic.
49:06Numbers and symbols substituting for letters.
49:08Most likely a pretty advanced one.
49:10He was obviously using this to take notes
49:12about whatever he was investigating.
49:14Notes that nobody else could read.
49:16What does it mean?
49:18I presume it answers every single question we have.
49:21You presume?
49:23Well, I haven't actually been able to solve it.
49:26But you're Ludwig.
49:28I'm sure even Elvis had his off days.
49:30I will solve it.
49:32Just need more data, that's all.
49:34A keyword to search for that might unlock the rest.
49:38Need to find out what he's been doing,
49:40what he's been working on, who he's been working with.
49:43I'll start tomorrow.
49:48You're going back in there?
49:50I have to.
49:52It's a puzzle. Puzzles are meant to be solved.
49:57Oh, John.
50:04Henry!
50:05Your uncle's going to be staying with us for a few days.
50:16Oh, Henry.
50:24Dad's gone.
50:36What's Mum reading?
50:51Why is she crying?
50:53It's all right. I'll talk to her.
50:55Just give us a few minutes, OK?
50:59OK.
51:05OK.
51:35OK.
52:05OK.
52:35OK.
53:05OK.
53:35OK.
54:05OK.
54:35OK.
54:49James didn't just vanish.
54:51He left breadcrumbs, coded messages, a puzzle.
54:56You were supposed to be looking into James' last case today,
54:59find out what this Ziegler chap...
55:01What's he got to do with anything?
55:03You've no idea who you can trust.
55:06Dad's letter said, trust no-one.
55:09John, you are the only person that can do this.
55:12Just focus and no more distractions.
55:16That wasn't a distraction, it was a murder.
55:19What if there's another one today?
55:21How often do people get murdered round here?
55:27May I ask what this is all about, Detective?
55:30He's completely vanished.
55:32What is it I can do for you, gentlemen?
55:35I've been led to believe that you've been performing miracles recently, DCI Taylor.
55:39I'm certainly keen to witness it.
55:41The puzzle is impossible.
55:43Can we go back down now?
55:45Something is very, very wrong here, and none of them seem able to see it.
55:50What if I can't solve the cipher?
55:52What if I actually can't do any of this?
55:55James is cleverer than me, he always has been.
55:58He's always been better than me at everything.
56:02Oh, yeah, I've got one of those as well.
56:05There it is.
56:08Oh, it's got sugar in it.
56:09Yeah, there is.
56:11Which, as you know, is exactly how I like it.
56:14I don't think you can leave, can they?
56:17You're all suspects, aren't they?
56:23His disappearance was prepared in advance by him.
56:27I had a feeling about you, Taylor.
56:30I'm really good at this, don't you read the paper?
56:57You
