[Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] him [Music] is [Music] this is account upon this place for all eternity a case [Music] um [Music] thank you [Music] thank you thank you thank you so much for coming so i hope by now that you've had a chance to sample this little guy an india pale ale with a lot of hops thrown in i'm really proud to be launching this product and i'm delighted to tell you that we've just got our first major order from a supermarket cursed brew ipa will be on your shelves from monday i'd like to thank my husband paul for all your incredible support on this journey and my little sister pfizer you know in the last three years we've gone from a home brew kit to an award-winning brewery on a historic site i'm really excited about the next chapter and i hope you are too thank you uh yeah i i forgot to mention that there will be a brewery tour with pfizer in the next 10 minutes okay sprogler it's time for bed say no night to daddy night kids see you later all right thanks mom available to pre-order soon thank you thanking you for your support you made the beer you should be up there with her no she can do all the talking people seem to like what they're tasting it's all i need [Music] no attendance from the oxford branch very disappointing that's their loss yes well i shall be emailing their president on monday old badger botherer or golden opportunity i am starting to regret buying you that real kit two halves of old badger bother please coming up free samples from your other site it's good stuff that's an entirely separate event the craft beer has to be given away this is real i always thought real ale and craft beer were the same thing [Music] thank you thank you okay so this is probably my favorite place in the world i love experimenting with new flavors down here perfecting a recipe i know imani said earlier that we've thrown a lot of hops at our latest beer but it's actually the timing of the hops it makes all the difference i'll explain more about that in a minute but first i wanted to show you these they were found during the excavations it's amazing to think that beer has been brewed here for over 500 years okay so if you'd like to follow me okay so back to the barrels um sorry just a sec don't bother with all that we've got cleaners coming tomorrow mom's coming to let them in early where's the money probably in bed well i need to speak to her yeah well she's out of it so i think you should wait till tomorrow i've seen what's in the brew room she will speak to me now fizer she's had a drink i said wait until tomorrow fine [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] no no no i was here yesterday we were doing a free beer tasting i wouldn't sample their current batch sir do we know who he is now the owners think that it's local writer adam sober he's been working with them on a book about home brewing they've id'd him from his signet ring and his um his bag's been found but the actual body what other didn't tell you it's not just a drowning looks like he's been boiled to death it's a kettle vat apparently it was on his boil cycle overnight perhaps he was uh drunk toppled in yeah i wanted that but then we found drops of blood down there and the lady that found him said that the hatch on the vat had been pulled closed somebody shut him in there and let him boil it's medieval yeah i know no literally death by boiling was used to execute poisoners in the middle ages it's what this place is famous for the curse of brother joseph one of the monks who lived here was accused of poisoning people with his beer they boiled him alive in his own cauldron and he cursed the place legend has it that anyone who drinks beer here will come to a bad end do you seriously just use the phrase legend has it whoever did this has gone to a lot of trouble to mimic that legend well i would explain the monk costume at least all the bar staff were wearing them but one of them was stolen is this his back it seems to be in it we found his driving license plus keys phone and two of these god it's the boiler suit brigade well we're gonna need your help with the press release what press release well news if this could devastate our business we need to be in control of the narrative imani what it's horrific the poor man are you sure it wasn't an accident oh this was deliberate did he have any family wife girlfriend he never mentioned anyone but you know then it was a business relationship we had maybe five or six meetings about the book this was your home brew guide yeah well no it's uh more of a lifestyle book actually i worked in pr before i bought this place and one of my clients recommended him he ghost wrote her autobiography who was that sylvia reynolds she's a stage actress so ghostwriting was adam's thing uh sports stars actors enough fame to land a publishing deal not enough talent to write it that kind of thing what time did your event finish last night about 11ish it finished at midnight you just don't remember anything after 11. ah it was a booze-up in a brewery i must have put myself to bed can you think of anyone who might have wanted to hurt adam not adam no meaning a man is found dead dressed as a monk in our vat it's hard not to see this as an attack on our business oh come on he wouldn't go that far who there's this guy that works on the council called russell grundy um he runs the coast and real l society he's not a fan of what we do i think i've come across him hmm he's a nasty petty sexist little man he kept us out of his good beer guide he scheduled his real ale festival to clash with our launch and he used his position on the council to stop us from expanding the brewery that's a very long way from murder i'm just telling you what i know hello you must be our new pathologist hello i'm dci john barnaby i was hoping for an estimated time of death are you a smoker any drinker no then i'd give you another 30 years right you are cam's replacement aren't you [Music] fleur perkins i don't know who cam is but he or she obviously wasn't good on boundaries this is my time to do my job and i won't be whipped up into hasty conclusions i wasn't trying to uh whip you up i'm just after a rough estimate and you can have one this afternoon we'll be into dental record territory for the formal idea i can tell you that much boiled human flesh isn't something i work with every day so i need to consult a specialist and possibly a cookbook i was up early for my training i'm a fitness instructor you see mainly chair-based movements for the over-60s now i'm not usually superstitious but as soon as i saw him i thought well i knew they were tempting fate making fun of brother joseph like that she came around to help us with the clearing it meant we could have a lie in that's what i've just said no it isn't you're telling him some fairy story he just needs the facts mom and i'm giving him the facts patronizing sod he cursed this place did either of you know the victim no i've seen him every day this month have you i saw him yesterday morning gave him a jaffa cake i live in a very nice retirement complex and adam was helping one of the old boys with his memoir they've been sitting in the residence lounge for weeks with one of those dictaphones what was this resident's name keith grundy he's led what you might call a colorful life he was part of an east end gang in the 60s very nasty lot what did you say his surname was grundy keith grundy couldn't happen to have a son called russell woody so amani's pointing the finger at russell but it was his father that adam was spending his time with no obvious motive though people don't kill over real hell flora should have a time of death for us by this afternoon fleur oh right the new pathologist what's she like oh she makes quite an impression you'll like her perhaps we should have a little dinner to get to know one another dinner yeah i could do that hey it's okay it's okay it's not you answered their questions yeah you kept it together that it's gonna be okay the police are everywhere it's finished you don't know she has ruined everything [Music] you stay here i'll go [Music] [Music] um [Music] nothing very personal no photos out single man living alone even so ah looks like my fridge at uni but even then i drank better [Music] beer [Music] hi you've reached adam sober please leave a message adam it's dave reid i've been here half an hour wondering where you are give me a call saturday 12 01 p.m when the tech guys go through adam's mobile get them to see if there's a dave reed in there we'll do sir take a look at this looks like this has broken quite recently but when i ran the address nothing came up so he had a break-in but didn't report it why dci barnaby and you are [Music] ugh [Music] oh nice work winter little tissue kwame asante and you live in manchester yes i didn't do anything wrong just another innocent man throwing himself in the river i ran because i had to i met the guy who lives here adam someone at a bar last night ended up staying i'm married with a kid i can't afford to get mixed up in anything bit late for that i'm afraid we're investigating adam a sober's murder he's dead and you have keys to his house why like i said i came back with him and after we you know he went out so there was something he needed to do you're saying that adam left you a man he hardly knew alone in his house and when he went awol you just hung around look my family think i'm away for a conference i need to know they're not going to get a knock on the door the more you cooperate the less chance there is of that happening there's a guest house up the road i suggest you stay there until i tell you otherwise so this is where adam sober was spending most of his time what did you manage to find out about keith grundy he was connected to the kenton gang racketeering forgery extortion he was rumored to be involved in the murder of a dealer charlie allen right dci barnaby hi i'm jenny moss i spoke to you on the phone um he's just through here ronnie reggie shush sorry they like to sound tough but they are cats really aren't you hey just like their owner mr grundy this is dci barnaby um ds winter i don't touch coppers i always found they bruised easy we need to speak to you about adam a sober he was killed at the corsten abbey brewery last night do you mean killed my kids are there they're staying with my ex paul taylor yeah got sorry excuse me so my little writer friend turns up dead and you're wondering whether i do well guess what i didn't you want to ask questions about adam you should speak to jenny he was in and out of her place all the time really night and day lucky boy some men can't resist a nurse tell me about this book he was writing for you it's about a terrifying criminal who turned himself around to become the saint and the member of the british empire that you see before you are you aware of my charitable work i am but i imagine that wasn't the focus of the book was adam in contact with your old associates no comment was he digging around in things that made you nervous no comment things you did but never served time for yes yes i'm unwell having an affair with adam i thought he was gay i'm dyslexic he was helping me write a memoir for my kids for for when they're older and they've stopped graffiti around the place were you paying him what no no it was it was just a small project he was being nice has keith grundy had any unusual visitors in the past few weeks no not from what i can remember it is son russell he visits quite a lot and and toby his grandson helps out in the garden right that's my relief cover so i can go pick up the kids of course blood found under those steps is a match for your victim an altercation there possibly it's in such a state it's hard to tell hold on are you one of those there's what a fainter you've got the look of a fainter about you tell me none i'll get your chair i'm fine thank you death was caused by scording the epidermis and dermis have split leading to the breakdown of subcutaneous fat essentially he's a piece of boiled meat it's only his clothes holding him together time of death best i can do is between 11 p.m and 2 a.m but that's rough okay in terms of formal id he's had dental work done but it was a while ago and he isn't registered with the dentist around here i'll keep looking anything else i'll call you if there is great oh i was uh wondering actually um do you have any plans for dinner well you know with my wife obviously and my sergeant whether it be wine there can be i'm there still it is a good spinner you've got to stop doing this it's my weekend case of whose weekend it is i don't want my kids around a crime scene she's here now let them go i've got a migraine anyway finn tilda it's time to go with your mom why is he okay i can't believe it happened in the brew room he won't tell me anything it's not like you to be coy why won't you tell us what she's like because you can find out for yourselves get the door do you want to yes sir sorry i'm late i was removing a chainsaw from a chest cavity i wish these farmers wouldn't drink paddy i am so sorry he's not usually like this oh he's still got his testicles that's your problem told you just your type very funny if he's aggressive you need to think about castration oh but he's not aggressive we've had him for a year and he's never there are all sorts of health benefits ian my boyfriend's a vet i'll get him to give you a call corkscrew right thank you it should be all done by friday yeah yeah love you too [Music] we have to be able to find someone who knew him well no family no evidence of a serious relationship he was everyone's acquaintance nobody's friend he clearly made an impression on our killer someone was willing to inflict massive pain on it to echo their brother joseph legend i have to assume so for now have you run a check on kwamiya santel not buying his uh one-night stand story i mean either but nothing came back no previous we did find the guy on the answer phone though he's a journalist adam called him to say that he had a story but wouldn't give him any details they were due to meet yesterday morning for adam to bring evidence a ghostwriter was selling a story a secret about one of his clients i also tracked down some of keith grundy's old gang but none of them would admit to having contact with adam you also won't get a team listening to adam's interviews with keith there's hours of the stuff better get going on it then and what about this actress adam wrote a book for sylvia reynolds have we got an address for her should do she was at the launch party but we've managed to speak to most of the guests but none of them remember seeing adam one did say that they saw a light moving around in the woods behind the abbey get a search team up there i'm going to talk to russell grundy the real ale nut yes but not because of that his names come up in the door-to-doors a neighbor saw him arguing with adam in the street damn right i argued with the man have you read his book not yet he showed me the first draft all very distasteful my father is a leading light of the prison reform movement that's what mr a sober was employed to write about but instead it's one of the most salacious details of his criminal past almost reveling in it it's your father's memoir surely the emphasis is up to him a book is an immortal thing it could damage my family for generations my son toby is on track for a top university he's ambitious how will it look for him if some grubby tabloid digs this up in years to come when i met you at the beer festival you were very hostile towards the corston abbey brewery they make tasteless pop and call it beer then expect you to drink it off a packing crate they're calling a table the owner thinks that adam's murder was an attempt to discredit them that's preposterous i've opposed them certainly but only within the letter of the law i wasn't anywhere near the place i didn't ask if you were any news from the search team there are dozens of footprints in the grounds and it's right away it'll take a while to process [Music] oh hello you better come in do come through i thought you were the press because once they find out i'm connected to poor adam they'll be camped outside oh do you like that that's my ophelia stratfor 1978 and here you see my lady macbeth would i have seen you in anything on the tv i prefer the stage so much more creative freedom although i'm preparing a new role at the moment lady bracknell and the directors told me there's a film adaptation in the offing i hate hollywood obviously but they're desperate for me to do it had you had any contact with adam since he wrote your memoir not at all that's what made him such a good ghost he knew when to disappear and besides it was my book he was just an editor how does confidentiality work with these things if uh adam discovered something during the writing process that you didn't want made public well then you wouldn't go in my gosh you're after a motive i'm simply asking the question you think i might have played some devilish part in this how wonderful but no you are aware of brother yosef's curse i was going to have a stage cleansing ritual just in case i'm sure that won't be necessary oh don't you dismiss it so lightly there are more things in heaven and earth horatio it's jamie [Music] from adam's notes you could tell he was more than an editor he wrote it for her good at keeping secrets wasn't he imagine having a book in the best seller chart and not being able to tell anyone you wrote it winter fleur's been trying to get ahold of us she said there's a problem might have been slightly out with time of death by how much about three years our body definitely died late saturday night early sunday and i've tracked down the dental records they're not for adam a sober they're a match for some bloke called adam dumont there's a journalism lecture he went missing from his home in manchester in may 2013. his car was found parked at a local suicide spot they never found a body or a note he's declared dead 18 months later with an open verdict he's been living under a false identity looks like it your ghostwriter was literally a ghost mr dumont was reported missing by his civil partner of seven years kwame asante they were in it together he faked his own death sat navs from yours and adam's cars same destination programmed in on the same day last month a caravan site in the cotswolds you met up with him didn't you you've always known that he was alive it was all adam's idea we were in so much debt our relationship had broken down we needed a way out so you reported him missing played the grieving husband and collected the life insurance why did you meet up with him last month we had pre-pay mobiles in case of an emergency suddenly he called me on it said he wanted to come back to life so you came here to stop him i needed him to understand i mean i've got a new husband we've adopted a child if i had to pay back the life insurance so how did he think this resurrection was gonna work i couldn't get a clear answer out of him he just kept promising i'd be okay he said he didn't have money but he had leverage leverage winter his plan to come back to life would have destroyed your new family it's much more convenient for you if he's dead isn't it where were you between 11 o'clock on saturday night and 2 o'clock sunday morning i told you i was at his house look everything else is true he said he needed to go out for an hour the last time i saw adam he was alive get manchester involved we need every laptop and phone removed from his house his new husband's gonna get a shock when you spoke to russell grundy did he say if he'd been at the launch party couldn't pay him to go to it apparently that was uniform one of the bar staff saw him in the abbey grounds that night and we've just had the dna back from adam's house and it's russell's as good as oh mr grundy counselor grundy could we have a word in private you can have one here anything you want to ask me you can ask in front of these gentlemen okay were you or your son in a relationship with adam a sober i beg your pardon excuse me how dare you on what possible basis dna found all over adam's house including the bedroom is a familial match for your father keith has no siblings and neither do you so it can only belong to either you or your son then it's toby's obviously but not for that reason good god my son is a budding entrepreneur he's done odd jobs for everyone around here that must have included adam i should be lodging a formal complaint with the chief constable i'm afraid we haven't finished you said you weren't anywhere near the abbey on saturday night but we've got a witness who saw you in the grounds at 10 30. what i said in fact was that i hadn't attended the launch i was simply outside the abbey to monitor things to monitor what precisely you saw for yourself our real ale festival had a very disappointing turnout i suspected some of our members might have betrayed us now assuming you're finished i'm late for a meeting it was two weekends ago i wanted to know how much for a repaint had you met him before that no uh he'd seen one of my flyers sticking through all the doors around here very enterprising saving for universities yeah that's that's the plan is this already broken uh i i don't think so but then we never look around this room properly this woman showed up having a goat did you recognize her yeah it was one of the sisters from the brewery uh i don't know which one but she sounded drunk and what was she saying well he sent me to look at the garden so i didn't hear much but she was probably laying into him sounded like she was giving him the sack i never should have employed him in the first place the book was months behind schedule it needed someone passionate or someone who liked beer at least adam didn't like beer i don't think he drank alcohol at all it's a bit early for that isn't it sir i think i know what adam was doing in the brew room right kwame confirmed it adam was tea total all his life so why would a non-drinker take beer from a brewery i think about what we do now adam was due to meet a journalist and he promised him evidence so maybe that's what he was doing in the brew room maybe these beers are the evidence he had cheap hair on his fridge didn't he now if i'm right and that one's clearly lighter you think they're mislabeling if we test these against the cheap stuff from adam's fridge i bet one of them will be a match i could see a newspaper buying that local brewery bottles up cut price ale and sells it on as the posh stuff question is did the brewery know that adam was on to them didn't want to do it but russell managed to stall our planning permission and we just couldn't expand production in time to meet our orders so you made up the difference with cut price beer how many bottles on supermarket shelves actually contain your product about 50 50. you said you'd done 10 people won't know the difference it's like wine if it comes in a nice bottle and it's expensive it tastes better the whole point was to make something we could be proud of no pfizer the whole point was to get it on the shelves and start building a brand so um i suppose we'll have to pay some kind of fine or something that's out of my hands i'm more interested in what adam knew what's adam got to do with this we believe that he was providing evidence of your fraud to a journalist you weren't aware of that adam found out about the beer a few weeks ago but he wouldn't sell us out it wasn't in his interest it wasn't until you sacked him if he's gone to the press because of you i've got to take this sylvia despite her friendship spanning three decades sylvia reynolds pulled no punches in her assessment of fellow actress jemima chaplin she refers to her as a talentless facelift and said that she only got her parts because she was married to a director with friends like sylvia in an audio file obtained by this newspaper ms reynolds 68 said that only blind ambition or actually being blind could explain jemima's decision to marry such an unfortunate looking man charming i assume they don't mention where they got this audiophile just says a person trusted by sylvia reynolds well that has to be adam surely he told kwame he didn't have any money but he had leverage perhaps this was it so he gets the dirt on people sylvia's comments their beer scam and then what blackmail or go straight to the press it's the ultimate ghostwriting sin isn't it selling off secrets to the highest bidder [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] any luck with the newspaper no they won't reveal their source however they did say that they never received a physical recording the audio was sent on email so why is one of the sylvia tapes missing look it goes from volume 16 12th of may straight to volume 80. presumably that's the one with the character assassination maybe adam hid it somewhere for insurance have the team listen to these not yet we've asked them to prioritize keith and there's something in his recordings it's from last week adam was asking him about charlie allen that old associate that vanished in the 70s they never found charlie's body did they but you're cellmate in wandsworth told the police you knew where it was adam when i tell you to be careful you should listen charlie it was a terrible listener nasty business there hey we need to know if adam made contact with that informant i'll put a call into wandsworth find out who keith grundy was sharing cell with on the way we need to speak to sylvia reynolds bring that paper oh oh oh oh jen yen yeah do you my love is everything all right fine just busy actually keith next time you feel like gossiping about me to the police try to remember i've got two kids come on i didn't mean anything by it anyway adam was always in and out of your place he came around twice then that's what i saw are you all right or is it your time of the month hey yeah maybe it is hey hey jen jen jenny my program's about to stop jenny oh it's the wine talking pino always makes me so indiscreet but you did make these comments to adam on tape well he promised he'd keep it to himself he's made me look dreadful people forget about it soon enough well jeremiah's husband won't forget and he's the one that cast me in my new role he called this morning it seems my services as lady bracknell are no longer required the recording adam made of your conversation has gone missing would you know anything about that i assume he gave it to whichever gutter journalist bought the story what time did you leave the launch party 10 30. i was in bed by 11. can anyone confirm that but i was in bed sadly not oh thank god it's my agent michael i have been calling you all day well the police are here they're just leaving yes i know but this was meant to be my comeback my ticket to hollywood sylvia has sir toby grundy been doing some work for you what uh out there clearing the garden hang on i'm so sorry but i have to take this call do you mind thank you thank you goodbye for 500 pounds breathe out breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out last time breathe in well done now charlie it was a terrible isn't it i told him to stay away from things that didn't concern him and it was good advice sounded more like a threat then you're too sensitive i bet charlie allen was killed by the kenton gang oh was he you know he was and you know where he was buried did adam find out about that before he died i have no idea what you were talking about no i am a very busy man that says if they're going to keep questioning you you need a solicitor tell them to calm down yeah anyway we're finished here isn't that right inspector for now it's a nice little earner you've got going all these odd jobs have you done some work for sylvia reynolds uh yes i've did a seller she said you did her garden did her deal for both i think she paid you 500 pounds to do another job for her hey hold on now did sylvia reynolds pay you to steal a tape from adam a sober excuse me he doesn't have to answer that no comment it would explain the broken window wouldn't it toby and your dna being all over the place okay look i'm coming no comment good lad [Music] uh [Music] are you still trawling through the memoirs i'm starting to see double well you can't expect yourself to read everything adam's ever written besides there's a little girl upstairs demanding a story apparently mummy just can't do the voices like daddy can little red riding hood once upon a time there was a girl called little red riding hood who lived in a cottage near the forest one day little red riding hood asked if she could go to visit her grandmother as it had been a while since they had seen each other hello little red riding hood waved goodbye remember said her mother go straight to grandma's house don't stop in the woods but little red riding hood didn't listen to her mother and strayed from the path by the time she reached grandma's house darkness had fallen keys and all the creatures of the forest were sleeping all except for the big bad wolf when little red riding hood entered the cottage she hardly recognized her grandmother grandma what big ears you have all the better to hear you with said the wolf grandma what big arch you have all the better to see you with said the wolf hello grandma what big teeth you have all the better to eat you is the roar the wolf [Music] i was on my way to work i thought she'd collapsed when did you last see amani when he went to bed at 10 o'clock did amani come to bed no i don't know i'd sleep in the spare room if i had an early start or if she'd been drinking i'd sleep in the spare room then your wife drank a lot not every day but once she did she couldn't stop she'd end up wandering around the grounds at three in the morning with a bottle in her hand that must have put a strain on your relationship we were reasonably happy if that's what you're getting at imani was your second wife you're married to jenny moss before yeah how were things between you all civil what happened to your hands you're serious i'm a builder we pick up scratches who else was here overnight imani's sister i don't know where she is i haven't seen her since yesterday but you have told her she's not answering her phone there's no answer sir the car's gone winter oh looks like it's been trashed put an old unit call out for pfizer jindal sir what was imani's relationship like with pfizer they were sisters they loved each other and they tore strips off each other they'd had a disagreement though ball they argued about the business all the time sweetheart are you okay not now mom but it's awful i'm so sorry are you what you hated amani just like you hated jenny when i was married to her i didn't hate them just forget it [Music] that's not who he is he's upset find out what he was wearing yesterday and get it over to the lab tell him it's urgent i'm not going to ask what cause of death and i try not to make assumptions but yes that'll do it we've got recent bruising on the arms and legs suggesting a struggle and on this particular occasion the stench of alcohol isn't me how long do you think she's been there approximately eight maybe ten hours so killed between 10 pm and midnight sir one of the neighbors thinks that they saw a torch in the abbey grounds last night the same thing as a night adam died what time is this it wasn't sure maybe around nine we need our search team to cover this whole area have you seen this in memoriam executed on this site brother yoza 1539. these are drag marks aren't they yes and there's blood over there i suspect she was killed nearby then dragged here so somebody was making a point she was deliberately left at the site where brother joseph was killed give me a hand i've never seen anything quite like this before i think i have [Music] they're brewing tools from the monks who founded this place brother joseph again this can't be about a monk from the 16th century there must be some link between amani and adam why kill a brewery owner and her writer for hire and perhaps we're looking for logic where there isn't any whoever did this is clearly unhinged or trying to appear wanted to apologize for earlier i was out of order don't worry about it i'm sorry was there a rotor like this for the night that adam was killed yeah it was on the door i assumed you'd taken it for evidence who drew it up amani did why i'll be in touch if there's anything else i don't think it's in the evidence room i know it's not but someone's taken it haven't they get the tech team to find the original on imani's computer if somebody was on duty the night adam was killed we need to know who so [Music] time of death was closer to 10 pm than midnight and the liver's worth noting cirrhosis stage two she was an alcoholic what's that cut on her arm she had it bandaged under her clothes fresh bruises on her arms and legs plus older ones and several healed and semi-healed fractures probably sustained in the last three or four years so what are we saying there could be other explanations but i'd say these injuries are consistent with long-term domestic abuse i'd be speaking to her husband we will be but if anyone can tell us what he's really like he's going to be his ex-wife oh um keith is in the lounge i've just been giving his pain meds we're not looking for keith we were hoping to speak to you all right uh was everything all right jenny is it okay for finn to open one present oh hi i uh didn't hear the door what's wrong she was calling me but i didn't answer what time was this i'm not sure um probably around 8 30. it was an hour or so after i came here and then my phone died were you here all night i needed to get away we've seen your living room what happened i don't know i just i lost it you did all that what did you do to it we had an email from the supermarket they know they've cancelled the entire order you never agreed to substituting the cheap beer did you of course not that was my product it's the only thing that i've ever been any good at but emani knew best what do you mean she could never let me have anything always had to bulldoze her way in did you have a row with your sister yesterday i told her that i'd wish we'd never gone into business together and i meant it and i still mean it but she was my sister [Music] what sort of a husband was paul does he have a temper if you're asking if he was violent then the answer is no plenty i could accuse him of but being a wife beater is not one of them he loved omani that was clear even to me were you aware that amani had a problem with alcohol i thought that she probably did it wasn't obvious but my mum was an alcoholic so i know the signs and how were things between you and demarni not great but she was married to the father of my kids so we made it work can you take me through your movements last night well i was here on shift i had dinner with pfizer about 8 30. then i was in and out of residence flats i took keith's dogs for a walk just after 10. where was fisa at that time in my flat so you couldn't actually see her though she was in my flat i'd have seen if she'd have gone out [Music] thank you [Music] sir there's been an urgent call from uniform at the abbey [Music] they think part of the abbey will collapse sir but these rocks have been disturbed more recently somebody's moved they're right you can still see the tool marks on this one they've definitely been moved since the place was searched last sunday give me the torch a second sir [Music] there's some kind of tunnel back here caved in we've been trying to get access [Music] winter seems like it was buried in the wall and then exposed when the tunnel collapsed how long do you think it's been down here it's fairly intact [Music] get forensics on it we'll do what is this place i think it's a cell back when the abbey was built well that doesn't look very medieval no someone's at a workshop down here and i think we know what they were making there must be thousands here 1998. remember this place has been in use since then at the beer festival on saturday toby grundy was giving out all his change in two pound coins [Music] that proves nothing dad they've got my tops that's enough of that that old equipment isn't yours is it it's your granddad he hasn't used it for years he asked me to move out with her so you thought you'd have a go yourself let's keep this in perspective we're talking about a tiny number of coins i put a stop to it the second i found out we're also talking about human remains what our forensic team are examining a skull found in the rubble okay look i never saw anything like that how long have you known about this little forgery operation counselor grundy since the entrance caved in toby needed help moving the rocks that's the real reason you were at the abbey on the night of the launch you were trying to get rid of the evidence and last night were you up in the abbey grounds again with a torch evidently you know that i was so you admit that you were in the exact location where emani taylor was murdered last night imani what i i didn't know anyone had been murdered i was there but only briefly i was forced to abandon things because oh oh dear i i left because i heard a woman make noise what sort of noise i thought she was being amorous but perhaps i was mistaken her oh my god dive what time was this uh about 10 15. but look whatever else happened up there last night i'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement in respect of toby but be careful where you're going with that i'm simply saying he's not some some job he's going to university he's running his own business now that's right isn't it toby no job too big or small even stealing a tape to order for sylvia reynolds toby i needed the money what on earth for because i'm not going to university well what are you going to do i'm getting away from you i've tried to tell you this you don't listen how can you your head is so far up your own backside you can't hear when a woman's being murdered [Music] romney reggie hey a bit funny with people they don't know and coppers they do we need to ask you some yeah russell called it wasn't the boy's fault he was just messing about so you admit that the equipment belongs to you the entire operation is mine my uncle showed me the place when i was a kid nobody else knows about it and then when i had my accidents i couldn't get down there anymore when was this no 2 thousands and then when those posers took over the abbey i asked toby to shift the stuff turns out he takes after his old granddad i'm actually more interested in the human remains that were found down there we believe they're male i don't know what you're on about a man's body was concealed down there in a place which by your own admission nobody else knew existed and you told a fellow prisoner that you knew where charlie allen was buried no no no it can't be charlie you're making it up but if it was charlie would he be down there because you buried him personally or because you simply provided the site neither and if adam found out about this from one of your old associates in the kenton gang what would have happened to you it's not charlie why because you know he's buried somewhere else no because i never knew what happened to him i i made it up you made it up yeah well there was a guy called charlie allen obviously and he was killed and it probably was the cantons but they would never have told me about it so what exactly was your involvement with the kentons i knew them some of them i was a gopher an ellen boy i used to pick up their kids from school you were their babysitter well i wanted to do more but it never worked out what about the rumors all the crimes you never serve time for prison is a very frightening place what were you doing between around 10 and 11 last night well not much i was here asked jenny she saw you she popped in about 10 15 to collect the dogs and then drop them back half an hour later listen uh we we don't know how to tell toby about this do we tell him what that i was never part of the scene with the kentons he he he he likes the stories eh what keith says matches what the other residents said they saw jenny walking his dogs and heard them barking nobody remembers seeing fires are coming or going marnie's phone records have just come in one number has been calling her a lot day and night does it say who it's registered to um yeah [Music] oh now my lord why do you keep alone [Music] of sorriest fancies your companions make using those thoughts which should indeed have died with them [Music] things without all remedy should be without regard what's done is done [Music] what if it is the curse of brother joseph i could be next what's going on with all your pictures i can't stand to see them not now my agent thinks we can ride it out but it's so fun you knew it was coming i beg your pardon you knew that adam was going to the press long before the story broke why else would you pay toby grundy to break into his house i honestly don't know where you're getting this from from toby he's confessed to stealing the recordings adam was blackmailing you wasn't he he said i could match whatever the newspaper was willing to pay or he'd sell it i was all for paying but i was persuaded not to by imani we know she used to be your publicist you called her the night before the story ran well she said she could stop it she gave me her word but she didn't did she you must have been furious it's an unfortunate situation isn't it adam sold a story that threatened your career and imani's bad advice let it happen now they're both dead well that's rather dramatic it's true oh for goodness sake i wasn't even in corston last night he's a london cosmetic surgeon and for the sake of discretion he said he could see me in his office before it opened this morning i stayed at the langham overnight and will the hotel confirm that they know me there i'm not vain you understand but that article said i was 68. i've only just had my 62nd birthday how did the killer know that adam would be in the brew room and the dimani would be in the abbey grounds followed them lured them there you've really narrowed it down then helpful thank you four post mortem for armani i keep meaning to give you this i told my boyfriend about paddy in his aggression problem he doesn't have a problem it's a 20-minute operation he said he'd do you a discount flow speaking saved by the bell she's right about this lot though we can't even be certain if adam and emani's deaths are connected have you found that rotor on imani's laptop yeah yeah here it is saturday 16th amani she was due to be in the brew room and the night adam died you'd only get rid of this if you wanted to hide that phone have you spoken to them so the question isn't how did the killer know that adam would be there that night it's who did the killer expect to be there you think amani was the intended victim both times and adam was just collateral damage sorry to interrupt your speculation with a fact but have you spoken to the husband because that was the lab they've got his jumper under a microscope and there are tiny specks of amani's blood all over it your wife has unexplained injuries bruises cuts broken bones that have never been treated what does that sound like to you paul doesn't mean anything you have no alibi for your wife's murder or for adam a sobers and microscopic traces of your wife's blood were found on your clothing no no i love my wife then why is there blood all over your jumper and there's cuts on your hands they're all from the building site are they no they're from omani trying to fight you off it was imani but it's not what you think she she had a problem when she drank she was a different person she only ever did it when she was drunk the next morning she'd be so ashamed in tears she couldn't remember any of it does anyone else know about this i promised i wouldn't tell anyone so the blood in your jumper she threw a varsity big piece of glass came off she came at me with it i got it off her but she caught her arm paul did you kill your wife in self-defense i didn't i swear i didn't but she wasn't in bed with me when adam was killed i don't know where she was neither did she she was drunk after the party i found her collapsed on the office floor the next morning she had a complete blackout about where she'd been what she'd done there were cuts on her arms blood we thought she'd fallen over and then when adam was found you were afraid it was her but we just didn't know she asked me to hide her clothes where are they under concrete on one of my sides uh it's a sob story amani's the one with the broken bones i don't know they could be drunken injuries as you seriously think amani murdered adam boiled him in a vat of beer and then couldn't remember it no but i think paul was frightened enough of her to believe it so what then he kills her because he thinks she's a murderer i don't see it pull up those statements from the residents at the care home again about pfizer they just said they didn't see her no about her walking keith's dogs through the gardens last night didn't they say the dogs were barking um yeah a couple said the barking made him look up and that's when they saw jenny this was ten o'clock it was dark those dogs wagged their tails for jenny they only bark at people they don't know but it must have been jenny walking them keith saw her or did he i've already been through this once i need you to tell me exactly what happened i was in here reading she lets herself in and takes the dogs out all right keith come on ronnie reggie what keys go on lads off you go hey walkies thanks jenny so you didn't actually see jenny did she come in here to give you your pain meds or anything no and i am not on pain meds she said that you were does jenny give you injections for anything no do you know where she is now she's at a kid's party at the village hall she lied about where she was when imani was killed and she lied about administering drugs so what was she doing with that needle in her office then have you looked at the memoir she was working on with adam well there's not much to look at it's just a collection of facts favorite film favorite music favorite food exactly she said she was writing it for when her children are old but they're all things you'd know about your mother already nonetheless jenny well look i know you have a job to do but i'm trying to keep things normal for my children we've got 20 kids turning up any minute we need to speak to your ex-wife [Music] can you take the kids into the kitchen for me but what does he please adviser vinny should we go grab a sandwich from the kitchen yeah oh my god come on you do tell them it might be better if we talk on our own you can say what you want in front of paul it concerns your health what maybe we should go outside what's he talking about jim i was i was gonna tell you after finn's birthday tell me what i'm not well what's wrong i'm not well full it's the same thing that my sister had but it spread [Music] how long [Music] years months not years you were worried about your children's future weren't you jenny you said your own mother was an alcoholic what's her mother got to do with it because i know what it's like to live that life to be little and scared and not know what you've done wrong i would never let any harm come to children so why is matilda wetting the bed and finn coming home with bruises on him talking about imani being all wobbly and shouting she was never any threat to them when she drove them back to my house last week she had alcohol on her breath how do you think i can let a woman like that raise my children what are you saying [Music] [Applause] you'd seen the brewery rota you knew that amani would be in there on saturday night i knew it was a time when she'd be drunk no [Music] come on jen no what's going on can you just look after finn and matilda please paul just keep them in the kitchen with mum please but it went wrong didn't it because it wasn't imani who walked in it was adam he was the only other person who knew about the cancer i told him everything and we were writing the book all about amani the drinking journey i don't know no no don't come up here [Music] you can't tell anybody i was here okay not yet he knew why you were there it's obvious no it's not what you think no give me the knife i told him to back off but he just kept coming for the knife [Music] and then we were struggling i was just trying to get away [Music] and then he was falling and then he was in the vat this was not an accident when adam's body was found boiled to death the lid of that vat was closed you shut him in there he was never gonna survive that i i just panicked he came back for a second trilogy with that thing you were still determined to kill amani weren't you you wanted to make it look like the murders were connected so you tried to link them to brother joseph's curse i didn't know what else to do you said nobody else knew about your diagnosis but that isn't true you had help no no i did it on my own you killed on your own but somebody helped you to fabricate an alibi who was walking keith's dogs it's fizer wasn't it no paul she was staying with you last night she hated her sister even more than you do it wasn't pfizer then who was it my boy i'm so sorry you made excuses for imani over and over again but i saw the bruises on you and on finn i couldn't stand by all right keith come on ronnie reggie wookies walkies thanks jenny [Music] i'm your mother you helped to kill my wife mom poor mom hey hey let's go and practice blowing out your candles before your friends come please this is the last birthday i'll ever get to spend with my kids [Music] two minutes one two three [Music] so [Music] so as you can see over here the line of the window i'm amazed a few bones under some ruins get this much attention not any old bones brother joseph if you're going to stick around here you'll have to learn the legends yeah we've got a uh headless horseman a faceless phantom a bollock let's stop you helped us solve the case didn't you boy the least i can do is protect your manhood i thought we could go for a beer you know what i might prefer a glass of wine [Music] um [Music] you
