[Music] [Music] you [Music] i said her okay out there she's fine honestly she said she's fine oh i didn't want to come to this thing in the first place i hardly know anyone sarah said that you were friends with the groom's mother he's a webster sarah was when we were all at university they were best friends hazel was never my biggest fan her name's laurel newman or laurel webster now i suppose she's been married to gavin webster for about eight hours what's that in her mouth ribbon looks like it might have been cut from the lacing on of course it okay that's different tied in a bow around her tongue laurel was a talk show host on midsummer fm when sarah found her the radio was on full blast and tuned to her station oh that sends a pretty clear message any thoughts on cause of death not sure yet but from the way this dress has been tightened she might have been squeezed to death is that possible extreme constriction of the corset causing internal damage a collapsed lung maybe it happened in the late 18th century society's obsession with tiny wasted women it's insane good thing we've moved on eh just botox an exploding breast implants to worry about these days what are they beads three of them they're not trodden into the carpet yet so they can't have been here long [Music] i should be with her she's my wife i can't let you see her yeah i'm sorry gavin they're just doing their job if they'd done their job she'd be alive gavin no mum three times we went to the police and what did you do was laurel being threatened monster trolling online and these packages started turning up road kill dead animals keep a log that's all you lot had to say started happening at our house too after they moved in with us do you still have any of these packages i kept one it's in the freezer at my shop do you have any idea who would do this they get some weirdos calling the radio shirt could be any of them okay you said laurel walked her friend marcia out to a taxi at 10 30. where did you go after that there's a there's a cottage on the ground we're meant to stay there tonight i went to decorate it on your own yes why isn't someone turn that thing off we'll let him get some sleep are you feeling any better now philip sorry your headache you said it was why you missed the ceremony this afternoon oh the the migraines yeah no they they get better in the evening how did you both get on with laurel okay most of the time but um have you heard our radio show she was very opinionated argumentative really it's not always easy to deal with you're saying she made enemies none of our own family are here it's classic distancing behavior you're not at work now ever the psychologist ah john knows what i'm talking about he did the same course no family on her big day difficulty maintaining key relationships what does that tell you were you happy that your son was marrying laurel today we were happy that he was happy and i thought my in-laws didn't like me do you think that's why i wasn't in ceremony couldn't bear to watch i don't know but ronnie's details he's got four what for fraud he was a solicitor he stole from his client sarah said he's only been out of prison a few months julian perfect love weddings uh this is my assistant grace briggs i've put together some information staff contact list timetable master guest list and key members of the wedding party highlighted in paint no shows in green right thank you as you can see there is no best man but the maid of honours over there aisha colleen uh yes i remember her from the speeches she was pretty far gone by then every wedding there's always one that's why i come prepared that job for you i think good luck did either of you see laurel or gavin after about 10 30. um they both disappeared and this um photo shoot at 10 45 in front of the projection screen i assume that didn't happen no but that's what made me realize she'd gone to get changed she wanted those photos to show off her second dress laurel had a second dress lots of brides do it traditional white for the day is something more glamorous for dancing do you know what this second dress looked like was it beaded no idea sorry but it must have been pretty special she wanted to make a big entrance there's no other dress in the room we need to find out what happened to it did you get any sense out of aisha khaliq only that she worked with laurel and that she was her bestest best best mate ever i arranged for a taxi to take her back to little denton let's try again tomorrow i did speak to the hotel manager though there's no cctv but the system records every time that a key card is used laurel's hotel room was accessed at 10 36 using her own key card suggests the willingness to let the killer in all they forced her to use her card we need to speak to this man too jordan briggs he was due to come then canceled at the last minute what jordan briggs the pratt points dj on the radio you listen to him i tried to once when betty was teething but i had to switch him off before we both ended up screaming i was out with friends we lost track of time which friends grace which friends you're in no position to upset me right now are you dad [Music] gavin maybe just give him some space [Music] [Music] so phil we've had a break-in are you sure look oh my computer's still here i'll better leave there we have to report it it said leave it no police cause of death was massive internal bleeding the tightening of the corset caused a rib to snap which ruptured a spleen what kind of force would that take a fair bit and the tongue i'd say the ribbon was tied around it post-mortem i haven't been able to identify that residue yet and i've sent a sample off to the lab anything else it would be good if that meringue could be collected it's bringing back memories of my first wedding i didn't know you'd been married i've been down the aisle a few times although it wasn't denial as such in vegas [Music] jordan briggs laurel's co-host hi hi we're all um struggling to cut our heads around this how long have you been working together uh three years she started as a regular guest but then they wanted more female presenters you know what it's like and how was she to work with good you know we laid into each other on air but that's the job i mean we'd have no show if we agreed on everything please come this way you were due to be at the wedding yesterday is that right yeah but then we decided i should do the show on my own and keep some consistency nope i am i believe my daughter was there though grace briggs oh yeah she was working for julia so she was there is that a problem no no problem please um this is aisha our producer we met last night did we oh yeah of course sorry can you remember the last time you saw laurel yesterday we were dancing together no idea what time it was i just remember she she looked so happy did she mention changing into a second dress at any point she didn't have a second dress not that i saw her husband mentioned some unpleasant things in the post that had a really free time was it always dead animals yeah foxes and batches oh a wrap once did any of your callers seem uh particularly fixated on laurel several when you host a late night phone in you find out how many nutters there are there some of them call in every night did laurel mention the name of her wedding venue on air she did yeah more than once okay um we'll need the station's phone records and a list of those frequent callers with time codes do you really think it's a listener we can't rule it out it's just has anyone spoken to you about serena madison oh come on what she hated her who's serena madison gavin's ex-fiance he left her two years ago to be with laurel actually jilted her at the altar and she's been finding ways to get back at them ever since like what serena's father owned a stake in midsummer fm and she inherited his share laurel thought she was trying to get our show cancelled serena madison that name was inside laurel's wedding dress it's what she does she's a bridal wear designer did serena know that laurel was getting married in one of her dresses oh yeah she knew it's probably what pushed her over the edge it's about giving people control yes it's from my final show but some people can't be saved and don't want to be what you're arguing for is denying them a choice right and what you're arguing for is putting people down well maybe someone should put you down eh thanks steve ever the charmer every caller with an attitude like that needs to be identified and interviewed any luck with her family um hazel was right about lack of contact mother and sister down in devon didn't even know she was getting married what about this second dress no sign of it in the hotel room but forensics did find this though in her purse madame x the numbers for an unregistered pair as you go how are you with jazz happier when i can't hear any why oh there's this strange bit just as she signs off that's it from me i'm off to get my beauty sleep before my wedding what's that laurel you're getting married oh you never mentioned it oh shish i've not been that bad but before i go i know we don't usually play music but there's a record i'd like to dedicate to someone special someone i was honored to help this is for you worth finding out what that is yeah just a second what are you doing it's called loving and letting go by the tiger quartet from now on it's a pound in there every time you make me feel old not made of money [Music] so who do you think this um someone special is i don't know but loving and letting go it sounds like a message to an ex [Music] serena madison i'm dci barnaby this shoe's off please we'll have to wait a moment take a seat the colors a bit behind on my laundry thank you so much darling absolutely spectacular thank you how can i help you gentlemen are you okay yes oh this this is the uh tactical tear the bride tries on a dress slightly over budget ideally in front of the mother and you well up simply overwhelmed by how perfect it is everyone does it probably we're here to talk to you about laurel newman why would i want to talk about her she was murdered last night at her wedding [Music] well what do you expect me to say you obviously know what she did to me otherwise you wouldn't be here how did gavin meet laurel at the christmas party for the radio station i introduced them then they went by my back for months before he humiliated me on my wedding day that must have been difficult i drove around that church for an hour i couldn't believe he'd done it have you seen laurel since then zero contact with either of them i have to ask where were you last night i was at home on my own drinking gin watching mutual friends post gavin's wedding photos on facebook it was quite the evening i can tell you where laurel was getting married in one of your dresses i tried to stop that believe me that entire wedding was paid for by a magazine competition under my pr deal i had to provide the winner with a dress they won their wedding in a magazine nobody told you well i suppose it's frightfully enough that's what i had to happen on a friday why do you think laurel agreed to wear one of your designs given the situation it was part of the prize well and i do make beautiful dresses you didn't think she was uh rubbing your nose in it i couldn't possibly say someone at the radio station suggested that you were making trouble for laurel forcing her show off the air well someone at the radio station overestimates my power i'm not the majority shareholder and besides vengeance really isn't my style speak to the tech team see if any of the trolling came from her ip address and have you got an address for marcia jackson there this friend that laurel was walking to the taxi uh yeah but this is weird julia evans the wedding planner she left her laptop in laurel's hotel room so it was processed with everything else but apparently we can't get into it what do you mean it's got some sort of serious encryption software on it sort of thing you see with organized crime why would a wedding planner need that level of security i don't know when i ran the names of the guests through the pnc only two came back phillip webster for fraud and julia evans for violent assault against an ex see you monday bye i got your messages i'm not having a conversation about this she's my daughter yes your 18 year old daughter she can do what she likes you you stay away from her excuse me [Music] you and laurel were obviously close oh yes we were best friends can you take us through what happened when you said goodbye to laurel she came out with me to the taxi i waved as we drove off and she went the other way which way was that to the side of the hotel i think there was someone there she seemed to know them did you see who it was it was dark but they had a cigarette i could see it glowing i think they had a sort of hunchback male or female oh i couldn't see my eyes are terrible that's okay thank you for your help oh another cup of tea before you go i'd love to but we need to get on oh um there's one other question though laurel finished her show with a record called loving and letting go she said it was for someone special oh that would be for gavin maybe but is there anyone else we should be aware of oh she'd never do the dirty on him if that's what you mean no if there was someone special it was gavin does that look like zero contact to you [Applause] i hate jazz so did laurel i've got no idea why she'd play that so who do you think it was for because you're still in contact with any ex-partners not that i know i what even know why i'm here i thought it might calm me down are these from serena madison we saw her leaving just now yeah she brought flowers to a flower shop classic serena isn't it what do you mean santa mum that represents fidelity dahlia for betrayal you can keep the smirk off her face what happened between you and serena basically i behaved very badly we've been together for four years and things were okay but then i met laurel and it was totally different you know i wanted to cool things off them but it felt like it was too late so on the wedding day i still couldn't tell her and to send my brother noel to do it god remember justifying it to myself like noel's a medical student he's trained to break bad news i'm not proud of her did serena blame laurel for what happened well she did but i know her she's not got it in her to kill anyone did you ever wonder if it might have been serena who was sending those packages no there's no way she could have done it even if she wanted to she's a massive animal lover a vegan and all that she could never mess around with them what do you mean mess around got one here serena wouldn't be able to touch it let alone do that to her were they all like this yeah different animals but all with ribbons around their tongue [Music] actually sir as the senior officer i think you should ask a nice truck toxicology report it's all clear in terms of dna we've got dozens of different profiles but that's to be expected with everyone hugging and kissing the bride what about that residue around her mouth tuck from a common brand of latex glove so the murderer came prepared looks like it i'll let you know if there's anything else actually um we were hoping to get your expertise on this guess mark's six for 90 minutes be lovely with a bit of fennel it was sent to the victim and we'd be very grateful if you could the subject is female well nourished partially defrosted evidence of trauma to the right side of the head possibly an rtc hold on i think flopsy here might be microchipped no the scalpel thank you there you go get that to a vet and you'll scan it for you your boyfriend's a vet isn't he we'll take it to him oh no i ain't it that weeks ago although the smell of livestock really lingers laurel's room card is used at 1036 and her body was discovered just after 11. so we're looking at a tight window how are you getting on with those phone records from the radio station so far we've uh we've identified seven regular callers and their alibis check out there are at least three others on unregistered mobiles okay we need a team listening to those calls see if they give away any details about themselves but if the person that martial saw was the killer then it was someone that laurel knew it wasn't some anonymous troll and it could be one in the same laurel might have known this troll in real life did we get any dna off those beads nothing usable they don't match any of the outfits worn by the guests they're old apparently 1920s it sounds like the kind of thing serena sells so assuming for a minute that those beads came off laurel's second dress what happened to it my killer got rid of it in case their dna was on it oh they kept it as a trophy we need to find that dress hello come in come in sorry bad timing i'm just dissolving some sugar and i don't want it to burn [Applause] pear and ginger chutney nice yes now the secret is a decent pan and a nice even simmer are you making it to sell that's the idea yes i am the chutney king bit of a change of career so what can i do for you i thought they'd done this doesn't hurt to do it again no ah of course what happened here oh that's ancient the joys of bringing up songs right i'll be in the greenhouse if you need me how long have laurel and gavin been staying here about two months she sold her flat but they were looking for the right place to buy we think laurel planned to change into a second dress at the reception did you mention that like some kind of surprise reveal i don't know but that does sound very laurel are these all carnivorous plants hmm mostly yes hazel and knowle used to call it creepy but gavin appreciates them they're fascinating does it close no no no most of these are picture plants now with these the insects they just slide in see they want the nectar so much they ignore how slippy it is and by the time they've gone inside see their little insect friends dissolving in the juices too late and this one's called robert oh no robert's the prison chaplain now he wants one for his counseling sessions it's a metaphor apparently for addiction or something i wanted to ask you again about the wedding it seems unusual you didn't attend the ceremony even with a headache well things haven't been easy since my release our son noel died when i was inside epilepsy and when my family needed me well i just wasn't there for them it's i don't know do marriages recover from a thing like that i think they can anyway i've been getting these panic attacks is that what happened on friday in fact uh that's what happened in the bedroom i think hazel was trying to spare my blushes just now the damage to the wall yeah well not so much a panic attack more of a temper tantrum and i was getting the bedroom ready for laurel and gavin to move in hit my finger with a hammer and i just lost it he admits he's violent but he's got no obvious motive has he it's worth speaking to that chaplain find out about phillips time in prison i'll track him down i'm gonna have a chat with serena madison see what she knows about those beads [Music] are you off now give my best to sarah how aren't you hazel you are remembering this is a police investigation aren't you obviously i i don't want you the fact that you know my wife won't get you off the hook if you lied to me phil told me what really happened in there that he did it i'm sorry it's um it's been a stressful time but right obviously thank you you know i never thought that sarah would end up marrying you i'm not sure how to take that i i don't mean it unkindly i'm glad she did she seems happy [Music] i'll let you know if we need anything else [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Music] have they gone i told gavin we'd help him with the wedding fair why did you contradict me about the damage upstairs because you lied what you said was a lie too but they didn't believe you my lie was better well they're beautiful they didn't come from here you're welcome to check my stock if you like but half it's already the wedding fair for the catwalk show i saw you visited gavin earlier today does it seem like the right thing to do you were there to express sympathy then nothing else i was trying to be the bigger person to be kind do you have any idea how offensive this is i'm simply asking the question no i'm not going to stand for this laurel is dead so she is absolved of all sin i am the monster can we just remember who laurel was for a moment she knew that gavin was engaged yeah that didn't stop her she was a narcissist and a bully ass juliet juliet evans yes laurel made her life hell over that wedding even on the day itself she was shouting at her about some chair covers or something screaming at her in front of her entire staff i mean that's who laurel was how do you know this a julia texted me may i see it if you don't believe me i mean obviously the way julia put it she was joking [Music] i was blowing off steam i mean this is a dream job obviously i i get to be part of all these amazing love stories but it is stressful you had a public row with victim and didn't tell us about it because it wasn't a big deal see her looks nice doesn't she reasonable demanded 12 puppies dyed pink to match her flowers oh but bridegroom smacked the photographer for taking too many photos of the bride honestly in the grand scheme of bridezillas laurel wasn't that bad what can you tell us about the encryption on your laptop i don't know what you mean there's an unusually high level of security on it well i hold clients personal information i have to take that seriously where did you have it installed i don't remember why this is about my record isn't it we are aware you have a history of violence yes it was seven years ago i caught my boyfriend cheating and okay i lashed out but i'm not a violent person so unless you're going to arrest me for sending a text i think we're finished well that can't be good what's that it's sarah she's in the pub with fleur wants to know if we're coming to join them fleur when did that start no idea but it sounds like a terrifying alliance thank you five years in med school six years post-grad and that's what i'm good for butchering bugs bunny or was it useful at least well we found a mobile number in the chip so yeah it might be so i hear you're looking for a hunchback smoker who likes jazz among other things well jordan briggs likes jazz really how do you know i spent a bit of time on the radio station's facebook page this afternoon a bit of time okay well several hours but i was interested anyway there seems to be this running joke where laurel teases jordan for being into jazz several of the listeners thought they were flirting about it can you look into that uh he'll do it tomorrow but while you were at the bar sarah agreed to answer a question oh yes yesterday you said that hazel wasn't your biggest fan at university i don't think i said that yeah you did you said it at the crime scene and uh well it made me wonder what were you like [Music] [Music] and that was the first time that you laid eyes on him yep he'd really gone for it brown tight paper masses sell the work can i just point out this was a charity fundraising event in the student bar you seduced your wife dressed as a door toy that's as much as i need to know he wanted to chat me up but he waited till he saw me and hazel leaving the bar only only he forgot he'd have to turn sideways to get through the door and he got stuck i was wedged in by my shell sarah had to help dislodge me and this worked for you did it it has a gold chip technique i think i found it endearing oh hazel didn't did she she told you not to go out because i was weird oh that still bothers you doesn't it well it's not nice or accurate [Music] i'm just getting changed dad um i'm not feeling too well so i'm gonna go to bed can i get you anything uh it's just time of the month okay um nine night [Music] so [Music] hmm [Music] did he twig no it's okay what's that pepper spray just in case is it legal no it might be necessary ah that's great thank you open cake for breakfast sunday it's allowed was that the prison chaplain yeah apparently phil was the model prisoner teaching literacy helping out the farm shop still goes back there most weeks what for some sort of mentoring scheme and the thing is that his most recent visit was the morning of the wedding so that the whole uh panic attack story sounds like a lie to me he's got another visiting order this afternoon perhaps we should join him we'll need to talk to gavin first though look at this you guys make such a cute couple and laurel you look amazing it's footage for the wedding video recorded at 10 39 behind her see it's gavin grace thought he was meant to be decorating the cottage the hotel are saying that the cottage wasn't accessed at all during the evening he wasn't there i've already told you i was at the cottage if their system didn't register my key card it must be faulty you were there from 10 30 until i left i looked to my watch because i knew i couldn't take too long this is all in my statement how do you explain this then oh her i spoke to her on my way over there but this was 10 minutes after you said you arrived at the cottage i thought you looked at your watch then i must have misremembered i wasn't expecting to have to recall all this information was i it looks like you're arguing with her i thought i saw her steal a bottle of champagne i had a go at her then i thought better of it it was all free with a magazine prize anyway and to be clear you are now changing your statement about your movement during the time of your wife's murder it was a two-minute conversation i forgot about it now i've remembered did laurel tell you she was going up to her hotel room did you know that she'd be there alone so this is starting to get ridiculous now please answer the question how about you answer mine what were you doing to investigate the harassment i reported months before her death do you know who was abusing her online who was leaving dead animals on our doorstep i'd appreciate it if you'd put that down he's aggressive he lied about his movements but we don't have a motive for him yet did you see the bank statements that we got from he's got 15 grands worth of credit card debt but if he wanted to inherit he'd been better off marrying serena and killing her but he didn't he walked away yeah that's true and why didn't he tell us about this argument with grace it gives him an alibi for at least a part of the time frame for laurel's murder you think there's more to it let's find out where grace is there's obviously something he doesn't want us to know hi i saw you were open so i thought i could give you a helping hand thanks marcia but you don't need to mum's helping um it's just that laurel was a good friend to me and i feel i've let her down all i could tell them was that there was someone smoking a cigarette oh that looks nasty look at those hazel you okay you're not are you come here i'm just so worried about gavin he won't talk it's like he's shutting down i i don't know what to say you don't have to say anything you're a brilliant mum he knows you're there for him thanks look if there's anything i can do you will tell me okay actually there um there might be one thing do you remember marcia from the wedding [Music] grace is modelling in serena's catwalk show fashion main ball over there ladies this is your five-minute warning the bridal fashion show was our most popular event yesterday so take your seats [Music] let's see if grace is backstage excuse me i need to speak to you our listeners know about laurel and we're getting calls i don't know what i can tell them okay hold on um you talk to grace on your own oh it was just one little bottle of champagne you're not gonna arrest me are you officer how long were you talking to gavin a minute or two i thought he was going to have me fired but he told me to keep it did you see where he went afterwards no i went back inside i was getting people out for the fireworks earlier in the day did you witness a confrontation between julia evans and the bride i want the chair cover thing yeah that was hilarious juliette seemed like she was gonna smack her she has a temper then she keeps it together at work must have a voodoo doll of a bride or something at home your father doesn't seem too happy about you working with her yeah well if i earn my own money he can't control me can he can't just buy me a handbag pretend that makes him father of the year did your dad get on with laurel sorry for interrupting we're starting you've got my number if you'd like to know jordan's dirty little secrets we should have a chat the man's a grade a hypocrite in what way come and find me after the show marcia hi what a lovely surprise oh come in hello we get all sorts of crazy speculation on our facebook page there was definitely no flirting not on laurel's part anyway but jordan i'm sure he's tried it on at some point he can't help himself why do you think he pulled out of the wedding it was his chance to prove he could do the show without laurel he wanted to get rid of her too in jordan's head it's always been his show what an incredible collection and now the designer of these stunning gowns miss serena madison [Music] [Applause] she's been shot [Music] [Applause] the paramedics tried to save her but she was declared dead 30 minutes ago we think that was the weapon the confetti cannon yeah uses pressurized gas to force the confetti out looks like someone rigged it these were on the runway paramedics said that there were several in her chest right ride number two let's have a look whoever interfered with that cannon must have known that serena would stand directly in front of it did she do the same show yesterday yeah to a packed hall apparently right are we assuming this is connected to laurel's murder i think we have to at least for now we located serena's mobile yet or her wallet she had a bag with her backstage foam purse and these same as the one laurel had even a whole stack of them so serena was madamax whatever that means well it could be a madame as in you know i'm adam a brothel keeper i suppose we can't rule it out either way we need to speak to jordan briggs i hardly knew serena are you sure it was me she was talking about positive well maybe maybe she didn't like something i said on air it happens am i allowed to go and comfort my daughter now go ahead serena knew something damaging about him it wasn't just something he said on air let's get searches organized for her property see if that turns anything up and find out who benefits from serena's will because someone's about to win the lottery if you gave me longer than 10 minutes i might have something for you just initial findings i've pulled eight of those out of a torso so far i acted like bullets most likely cause of death was catastrophic injury to the pulmonary artery they're just ball bearings easy enough to get hold of her organ health was notably poor for a woman of her age heart and kidneys in particular was she ill it's consistent with long-term drug use given the slight damage to a septum i say she had a regular cocaine habit hello i spoke to serena's lawyer she had an appointment next thursday to revise her will but as it stands gavin inherits everything i assume she changed it she was planning to four days later and you'd get nothing there's no way i could have known that i can think of several ways this is starting to feel like harassment two women with very close links to you have been murdered in the past 48 hours and you stand to gain from both their death you think i gained from laurel's death we know you're in debt gavin laurel recently sold her flat so put that together with the inheritance from serena and you're a rich man i can't believe we're even having this conversation sorry sir can i have a word we've recovered gavin's deleted emails three weeks ago he was sent this grace briggs again it was sent from this anonymous web account it was just a phone number i don't need to see it again it wasn't it wasn't what i was going to say it wasn't my fault but of course it was it was a test and i failed it test a honey trap laurel knew i messed around in the past i guess you just needed reassurance laurel paid grace to seduce you not directly grace worked for some sort of agency but the first i knew about it was this email a thousand pounds to make it go away and you paid yeah grace said she'd tell him nothing happened and that i'd never have to see her again and there she was at my wedding so that's what your hour's about yeah she was trying to apologize so i told her what i thought of her and she threw champagne all over me and then i went to the nearest bathroom to dry my shirt that's where i was until the fireworks you lied i was ashamed and then you got grace to back you up with that story about stealing champagne how much did you want for that another 500 i know i should have been straight with you i guess i just i wanted to keep pretending pretending that i would have been a good husband faithful i just can't do it even for laurel one way or another i would have messed it up even if that's true he still doesn't have an alibi at the crucial time anything it gives him more motives maybe laurel found out he cheated and confronted him and then he killed serena two days later for the money or because serena somehow knew that he'd killed long [Applause] you okay don't let your mother see you drinking too much you'll only upset her what upset her dad is you abandoning us for two years and now you're out we're still waiting for you to pull yourself together but i'm trying gavin it's not easy this isn't trying this is pathetic [Music] i don't sleep with them or anything and they can always turn me down who sent you out to trap gavin i can't say why not because madame x wouldn't like it this is a business card for the honey trap agency isn't it who was running it serena no she was just another honey there are about 10 of us all employed by madame x two women are dead i know so why are you shrugging your shoulders at me you're not so loyal to this madame x that you wouldn't blackmail her targets so tell me who she is seriously i can't why is your father so upset about you waitressing for juliette evans he found out the full extent of your work for her didn't he juliette evans is madame x he acted like it was sex work or something when did julia recruit you i've been waitressing for her since i was 17 and i'd always get hit on by some drunk uncle or whatever and when i turned 18 she said i could make some money out of it it's just a bit of fun did you talk to laurel at the wedding tell her about gavin no this is important as far as laurel was concerned i was just another waitress [Music] juliet won't find out i told you this will she are you frightened of juliet no it's just [Music] when serena threatened to expose her she went crazy it's just ringing out okay let's try our office what about philip webster's prison visit we still want to monitor that yes you go i'll catch up with you when i've spoken to juliet evans it's all perfectly legal hardly compliments your other business though does it day one of happy ever after divorced separated bigamist do this job long enough you start to see the gap in the market so the um madame x persona that's to keep things separate precisely we offer them a referral to a trusted contact hence the encryption on your laptop when did laurel ask you to test gavin oh she didn't i gave her a card but she was offended then her maid of honor got in touch uh he's your colleague she wanted to check if her friend was making a mistake and laurel never found out no grace said he passed how was i to know she was lying through her teeth if this little sideline ever came to light it would take some explaining wasn't serena threatening to expose it we had a disagreement it was resolved what was the problem all my honeys have their reasons for doing this but for serena it was like a a moral crusade we had a few incidents such as screaming at men who'd been unfaithful befriending clients but serena had the power to destroy your business like i said it was resolved we were friends i'm afraid we can't have to leave it there my next set of love birds [Music] [Music] thank you have i missed anything nothing much he went straight into the farm shop that's one of the inmates that he's mentoring what's the setup here low security category d the farm shots run by the inmates that are approaching release oh hold on can we stay with him please what's he doing you swap the jars get someone to detain him now i didn't get there in time it's gone pear and ginger it's the stuff he was making at home [Music] that's not ginger [Music] you know what that is don't you the test strip turns blue in the presence of cocaine i didn't have any chops i'm not interested in that the drug squad have been informed i just want to know how long you've been doing this since my release about three months so while laurel was living here oh no she didn't know anything about it what about serena madison is she involved no of course not i i don't know who was running things i just do what i'm told which is what exactly well a courier delivers the stuff and then i cook it into the chutney and they tell me when to visit you promised sorry there are boys in there trying to get clean over there with you bringing that filth in you knew about this no only since friday we had a break-in and he didn't want me going to the police he promised he wouldn't do it again well what do you want me to do it's not as if people are queuing up to employ me you have to give it time when people look at me they see a criminal it doesn't matter what i do so why bother if that's what they think i am that's what i'll be assuming these murders are linked was serena killed because she knew the identity of laurel's killer all because of some other connection between them the only obvious common ground is gavin and the radio station there's no suggestion that anyone was trolling serena no although the murderer might have used the trolling as a smoke screen with laurel well gavin was pretty keen for us to focus on it wasn't it i guess there's something about jordan and serena though she's boasting about his dirty secrets and five minutes later she's dead but his alibi for laurel is watertight if jordan's involved he's not working alone aisha khalid lives in little denton doesn't she why is that relevant that's where the owners of that pet rabbit live they're saying that it was run over outside their house and by the time they went out to deal with it it disappeared this is absurd why would i send dead animals to my best friend you deny taking this from the road near your house yes i deny it i need to make you aware that we have a warrant to search your home what now well that won't be a problem will it you have nothing to do with this so it's not as if we're going to find uh hairs from the animal any of its dna i think i'd like to speak to a lawyer that's fine in the meantime we'll go ahead with the search i wasn't trying to hurt her but you did send the packages why were you jealous no not not jealous i was in love with her [Music] when she started to get these nasty comments online she turned to me for support and i liked it so i wrote some myself and then things just got out of hand that's why you arranged the honey trap gavin you wanted to break them up he didn't deserve her but you did did you ever tell laurel how you felt about her no you didn't tell her at the wedding because you wouldn't have taken that rejection well would you i'm telling the truth i promise if you told the truth we wouldn't be in this position but as it is your lies have seriously hampered the search for laurel's killer long day ah could we not talk about it for a minute okay i'd better not tell you who that jazz dedication was for then what well maybe you'd rather just switch off who was it for well i bumped into hazel earlier and she asked me to have a word with marcia about giving them some space you hardly know marxian well i do now i was there for three hours she was telling me about her husband eddie who played saxophone in a jazz quartet he died a year ago to the day of laurel's final show oh you brilliant woman it wasn't difficult i just listened and smiled come on now what where are we going to continue your excellent detective work she trusts you i'm sorry to call so late oh it's fine really would you like sugar in your hot chocolate not for me thanks here we are let me take those why did you lie to me marcia that dedication was for you marcia if you know something you have to tell us i didn't want people to think badly of her she only did it to help me what did she do he weighed seven stone he was in so much pain i i couldn't let him go on like that did laurel help eddie to die she got hold of the drug that's all i mean all the rest was me we lay in bed and i held him just like i had for 62 years i'm so sorry marcia you're worried aren't you because you have to report it [Music] but that's all right whatever happens i know i did right for him i'm ready to take your calls this is yours truly jordan bray's on midsummer fm betty was a little angel apparently not a peep 17 prat points coming your way sorry not in the mood for people arguing she was right i will have to report it unbelievable are you actually vetting these people i'm doing my best really well that's a worry late talk with jordan briggs this is [Music] aisha [Music] you're listening to jordan briggs and i'd like to remind you that this is a special sunday edition of our program part of a day of tributes to our friend and colleague lauren newman who was sadly taken from us on friday night i'll be back with more of your calls after the midnight news good morning and happy monday welcome to a new week we've got a packed schedule for you today on midsummer fm it's definitely her car over there and i think that's a part of her shirt so she jumped starting to look that way because she was guilty of two murders all because of the shame she felt about the trolling i was hard on her yesterday it's not your fault no i'm not saying that but fleur is there any uh anti-climb paint on her hands or clothes no and i need to talk to you about this lividity you see the way it started to fix him that suggests she was lying on her side after her death not on her back so she was killed elsewhere and moved the shift finished at 1am and she logged out at 105. then we've got her leaving the car park at 17. i need a list of calls for last night's show and a log of her computer activity hang on she seems to have accessed our dead air bank what's that uh it's for emergencies we keep eight hours of pre-recorded material ready to go but now it seems there's only seven hours left she used an hour last night no no she accessed the file last night but the hour was played between 10 30 and 11 30 pm on friday when jordan was broadcasting alone get friday night up on there ah there he is 10 33. he lied about his alibi for laurel's murder and the last thing i should do was discover that go through his email and get his vehicle on anpr sir well he didn't come home last night and he's not answering the phone excuse me hey hey you can't just dad call me as soon as you get this the police are here he's not here do we have a connection between jordan briggs and philip webster no why philip's been emailing him except the emails don't say anything he just sends a number like on friday it was eleven and then yesterday seventeen what time is yesterday's email quarter past five so after phillips prison visit but before he knew we were on to him it was 17 grams he smuggled yesterday wasn't it and 17 in the email you think he's telling jordan the weight of the drugs why because prisoners don't have phones at least they're not supposed to but they do have radios you know that pratt points thing that jordan does on his show it was 17 last night 17 pratt points to the caller means 17 grams in the chutney if you're running drugs in a prison you want to know exactly how much is coming in it's i'll call you back [Music] hi hi i'm sorry i didn't mean to disturb you i just thought you might not feel like cooking that's really kind come in really i don't want to intrude i could do with the company okay i'm telling you i wasn't anywhere near that wedding you admit leaving the radio station on friday night you admit lying and you admit that i sure confronted you about it i know how it looks but it looks like laurel died because she knew something about you the same thing that serena knew you'd seen those packages so you tied a ribbon around laurel's tongue to make us think it was the troll is that why you left eyeshadow at the radio mask too what happened to aisha come on really i she was found dead this morning oh my god no i i honestly didn't know she she said she was going to the police i thought that's why you were here she never made it to the police station i'd tell i told her everything but she she didn't believe me so where did you go on friday night phil webster's house i um i was breaking in it's it's complicated i'm a reasonably intelligent person i'll do my best to follow it he's been blackmailing me i did something silly a few months ago i got my daughter too to take a few speeding points for me the problem was grace has therapy sessions with hazel webster has done since her mother died so grace told hazel hazel told philip and philip forced you to broadcast messages about drugs your pratt points catchphrase yeah but i had no idea it was drugs that's why i broke in i wanted to know what was going on can you prove what time you broke in no but i'm telling the truth and the fact remains i should died after discovering that your alibi for laurel's murder was fake she was going to the police you wanted to stop her listen is that why serena died too and she discovered that you were lying i don't know what serena had on me i told serena about the speeding points it must have been that time but you didn't do this and you can prove it what are you talking about the camera thing on the dashboard yes of course oh my god the dash cam hmm 10 47. you're saying the truth so we're back to the beginning it was someone at that wedding no second dress in any of these you still think that's relevant i honestly don't know anymore hang on something old something new [Music] something blue why are you meant to have something borrowed as well i think so usually no you definitely are sarah borrowed sarah borrowed her veil what if that's what laurel did for her evening outfit how would that make a difference we assumed that the dress was missing because it had dna on it or the murderer wanted a trophy but what if they took it back because it belonged to them maybe i guess if the murderer learned laurel the dress then they knew that she planned to get changed they knew that she would be alone laurel was meant to be here next wasn't she she wanted photos in her dress in front of the projection screen it's not the nicest of locations there must be a reason what was on that screen great grandmother-in-law i guess then several decades later mother-in-law gold-beaded dress i'd love to be mum and dad back okay yeah well i'll just say a quick hello and i better get going hazel hi hi i uh i just came to see how you were all doing uh but then i remembered betty's play date finishes at three so is everything okay yes just uh i didn't know you'd started smoking again we had such a hard time giving up at uni i've got to go no no no no [Music] you need to let me explain no no no no sir hey you'll have to listen get off her [Music] angel webster i'm arresting you for the murders of laurel newman serena madison and aisha colleague and for the assault of my wife three women hazel three young women say something what the hell was wrong with him no you knew about this not at the beginning and i'm sorry this is my youngest no no of course this is about no how many times laurel had nothing to do with his death your son didn't die from an epileptic seizure did he he was an addict he wouldn't just overdose he'd moved into his own flight he'd been clean for months then he went back to it that's what it means to be an addict and you blamed laurel for noel's death she never understood what we were trying to do he was training to be a doctor that's all he ever wanted what were you trying to do he was incredibly talented and hazel well we both thought that if we could just get him into recovery keep it in the family it wouldn't have to ruin his future he could just suspend his studies you were hiding his addiction they facilitated it they bought him drugs only so we could control it you have to reduce it gradually and when that didn't work you locked him in his room to detox until he punched a hole in the wall we were trying to do the right thing they spent every penny they had ask him why the house is for sale why he committed fraud and why you were so willing to smuggle drugs into a prison we owed money to some dangerous people noel's dealer they said that was the only way to pay them back so laurel objected to this uh secret rehab she always had an opinion she went on and on about how some people can't be saved and don't want to be like it was a catchphrase or something and that was your proof was it mum that was enough for you to kill my wife something was never right she was the one who found the body and then the night before the wedding i heard her show she was talking about euthanasia she said again some people can't be saved and don't want to be that's how she felt about noah that he shouldn't be an army so you set out to kill her no i was willing to kill her i set out to get the truth you'd arranged to lend her a dress but instead of helping her get changed you tortured her i thought she'd killed noel i only wanted to know the truth [Music] she said it wasn't her she said serena encouraged him taking him on drug binges as revenge for what his brother did to her she could have been making that up yeah she wasn't i look back at noel's phone in the text between them it made sense well if you believe laurel why didn't you let her go it was too late she's still moving i didn't know what to do you knew exactly what to do you cut the ribbon from laurel's corset and tied it around her tongue to mislead us and then you moved on to serena you'd seen her first catwalk show when you were helping gavin you knew she'd be in the firing line why did aisha have to die no she didn't that was an accident i swear of sorry i just needed to talk to hazel i knew that she hadn't been where she said she'd been when laurel died she told me everything and then there was this noise out on the balcony [Music] she'd obviously heard everything what what are you doing i was just what are you doing jordan briggs said he broke in on friday night he said he was here i'm sorry i just i just wanted to see if it was true i just i needed to stop her from leaving but i didn't want to hurt her she fell i don't expect you to forgive me shut up just stop talking you have no idea how wrong you are how stupid laurel wasn't the one who found noel it was me and you know what he was still alive no last time he overdosed he said he wished he hadn't come back remember he didn't mean that he did because he could see it even if you couldn't he was never getting better he was gonna keep bringing you to your knees time and time again he was destroying you gavin what did you do to him nothing absolutely nothing i just walked away and you know why i did that for you right we've got burgers sausages and beer john did you manage to get the ice betty where's your daddy oh hi we uh we came across this when we were digging out the barbecue stuff look it still fits were you just roaring ah yeah uh i tried to tell her that tortoises don't make much noise but you wanted rory didn't you sir sure we're gonna have a we're gonna have a race now the torches versus the hare like in your storybook you see this is why i married him whatever works for you i'm not here to judge then keep it to yourselves any talk of this down at the station i'll know where it came from i don't think anyone would believe us come on then on your mark betty get set [Applause] go [Music] you
