Someone's just killed the mayor of Marlow.

Well, you can't possibly think it came from here.

TERRENCE: If you're looking for the person who put the poison in Geoffrey's coffee pod, I bet it was the person in the kitchen.

(door opens) (Becks gasps) SUZIE: Oi!

You know you wanted Geoffrey to have a dark secret?

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (thunder claps) (whimpers) (click) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (siren blaring) (siren stops) (police radio running) (car door closes) TANIKA: What were you all doing here?

JUDITH: Ah, well, that is the question.

Yes, Judith, it's the question I'm asking.

We found out who Judith's mystery caller is.

JUDITH: The point being that when we spoke to Dave, he said that he and Geoffrey were working together on his novel, and we came here to check out his story.

TANIKA: An intruder left here 20 minutes ago.

Black hoodie, average build and height.

Go door to door, see if anyone saw anything.

Anyway, as I was saying, you aren't able to just carry on and do... JUDITH: I... I think I know who the intruder was.

(traffic passing, people talking in background) (door closes) JUDITH: Hello, Marcus.

Would you mind taking my next client for me?

MARCUS: And tell Sue no interruptions.

(clears throat) Uh, how can I help you?

Just got back from a house viewing, have you?

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I, uh, really don't know what you're talking about.

And, if you really don't know, why make sure we won't be interrupted?

Let me tell you exactly what happened.

You'll find I've done nothing wrong.

Although I am intrigued, how did you work it out?

Well, the intruder was definitely male, there are only two men on the council, and D.I.

Malik was with Terrence at the time.

Now, I didn't break in, I used Geoffrey's spare key.

But when we disturbed you, you ran for it.

With the blackmail letter you sent to Geoffrey.

The blackmail letter wasn't sent to Geoffrey.

I found it in my pigeonhole at the council, and Geoffrey was with me when I opened it.

Why would someone send something like this?

MARCUS: But he said, as mayor, that he would take it for me and try and find out who sent it.

When he died, I realized it was still at the house.

I knew how bad it would look covered in my fingerprints.

You know, taking back property that already belonged to me.

TANIKA: Okay, let's say we believe you.

The blackmail letter was sent to you.

I... (chuckling) I really have no idea.

Tear it apart-- you won't, you won't find anything.

All an estate agent is is their reputation, and I wouldn't risk that.

You know, someone has been harassing me.

♪ ♪ If he's so innocent, why did he wear a hoodie and gloves to Geoffrey's house?

And run off when we challenged him?

But is whatever he's up to connected to Geoffrey's death or is it something else?

Can I give you a lift back to the station?

Oh, thank you, I'm meeting someone.

You know, you and I should do more interviews together.

All these receipts are from the council?

(blows through lips) We could help, if you liked.

Marcus Percival's saying that the blackmail letter was sent to him and not Mr.

Finally, Geoffrey's up to no good, and now you're saying it wasn't even his?

You know, fancy cars, holidays, and trips to nice restaurants, but he could afford it.

Well, I spoke to some of his colleagues, and they all say that he's trustworthy, honorable, a perfect gentleman.

So there's no obvious secret he's keeping hidden from the world?

Clarkson's saying he saw someone with light hair in the kitchen at the start of the meeting, but he couldn't see them properly through the glass.

(bell continues) Why did you want to see me?

To thank you for your tip-off about the council receipts.

I know how important publication is.

And you must know more about the petty cash than you've told us.

All I know is that the total that was claimed went up significantly for the last two years, but the accounts were still signed off.

Suggesting that there must be receipts covering all that extra cash.

Maybe you can take what you learnt in the first half and apply it to the second.

This is really kind of you-- thank you.

It's not me you should be thanking.

He really was a great friend to all.

♪ ♪ (hip-hop music playing indistinctly) (song playing on speakers) (song continues) Who ordered the veggie supreme?

We should definitely get pizzas delivered more often.

(door closes) If you've got a boring job to do, you might as well have some fun.

Uh... We're focusing on the petty cash, just like Dave told us.

Dave has suggested there might be fake receipts in there to cover the cash that was stolen.

BECKS: But how can we tell which receipts are real and which are fake?

(R&B song playing over speakers) BECKS: So, what made you join the force, Alice?

Oh, um... Well, I had an aunt who was a copper.

Growing up, I just thought she was the coolest person in the family.

(laughs) I just wanted to be like her.

My great-aunt was hugely important to me.

(phone chimes, vibrating) SUZIE: Oops, that's me.

A group of us are trying to get the bridge reopened.

We'll have a few drinks, we'll agree that the High Street needs to be locked down with some kind of massive protest, and then... (chortles) And then... Yeah, we'll settle on starting a petition.

(Judith chuckles) I'm not giving up, though!

(card reader beeps, door opens) (sighs) We're not going to finish this, are we?

I'd love the chance to really get stuck into them.

(chuckles) ♪ ♪ SUZIE: Let's get this show on the road, yeah?

(talking in background) ♪ ♪ TANIKA: Oh, hello, Suzie.

Oh, we can't have these landowners closing bridges just because.

Sorry, can't stop-- I've got to get Shanti to school.

(continues indistinctly) I spoke to your teacher.

♪ ♪ When I was your age, I saw a girl being bullied, and I did nothing.

I know it was wrong, but I was just so grateful it wasn't me she was bullying.

(coos) That's why you're feeling bad, sweetie.

And you know if you see someone being bullied, you have to stand up for them.

Just remembered, I need to dig out that book on the Avebury Standing Stones for Darius.

So I can show it to him when we meet for tea.

I thought I was going mad with this one, but it really says £8.88.

I suppose if you were faking piles of receipts, you're going to make a lot of them for £9.99.

But if you got bored and your finger slipped... ...and you hit the key next door, it would be £8.88.

This one's for Jackson's Hardware Store.

Well, Jackson's closed two years ago.

So, how come it was selling paint supplies this January?

BECKS: They all have the same initials on them.

(door closes) You know who's got light hair?

And he'd have access to the aconite in Sophia's garden.

(footsteps approaching) How may I help you?

We wanted to know why you've been stealing cash from the council.

(exhales) Last year-- no, earlier-- I started getting forgetful.

I'd start talking about something, forget what I was saying, and have to ask the person that I was talking to what I was talking about.

I thought I had early-onset dementia, and I... I couldn't sleep, and I had hot flashes the whole time.

I found carrying a fan in my handbag worked wonders.

I needed treatment, but when I went to see my GP, he wasn't interested, and the waiting list for a referral was over a year.

And I knew that if I went private, I could have a consultation tomorrow.

I told myself I was only borrowing the money.

I was always planning to pay it back.

I couldn't help noticing that, on the day he died, only you and he went anywhere near that coffee machine.

And your fingerprints were on his coffee pod.

He didn't find out-- you know he didn't.

If he had, he'd have gone to the police, and he never did.

Well, maybe you poisoned him before he could.

BECKS: People have killed for less.

A crime like this could mean you'd never work again.

(whimpering) (crying): No, I know, I... I don't know why I did it, I was just... I was just so desperate.

(sniffles) I will admit to skimming the money from the petty cash.

That was wrong, but Geoffrey never found out, and I didn't kill him.

♪ ♪ (Debbie sniffles, phones ringing) (door closes) (computer keys clacking) (knocks) Sorry to interrupt, but where were you when Geoffrey died?

As it happens, I went to the cinema that afternoon.

I didn't have you down as a romantic type.

I actually really love any kind of romantic, slushy film with a happily-ever-after ending.

And now, if you wouldn't mind, I was working.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (talking indistinctly) ♪ ♪ (swan chirps) (man talking indistinctly) (chirping) ♪ ♪ How did it go?

Everyone's down by the river for the swan upping.

And ain't no one going to get a bridge reopened with 43 signatures.

(Suzie sighs) Guys, I think I'm going to head to the cinema this afternoon.

Box of popcorn, kick back and relax.

(people talking in background) You know, we still don't know who sent Marcus his blackmail letter.

Do you think we'll be able to work out where the individual letters came from?

♪ ♪ I mean... (exhales) ...even if we figure out that one of those letters came from, oh, "Homes & Garden," anyone could have got hold of it.

JUDITH: Then what if I tell you that the C in this word "secret" is a perfect match for the C in "Architecture International"?

And I can't help noticing that Terrence is the only architect among our suspects.

Let the record show I've been giving my full cooperation.

Let the record show that you've been blackmailing Marcus.

You shouldn't have cut the letters out of your trade magazine.

You're an upstanding member of the community.

There's a social media account that posts awful things about the council and the town.

The man who always thinks he's better than you because he's got money and a fancy job.

But there's this thing that Marcus does, where he says "undermime" instead of "undermine."

And one day, that account-- Marlow1628-- was attacking me, and it said "undermime."

The next time I saw Marcus, I told him Travelers had moved into Riley Park when they hadn't.

By that evening, Marlow1628 was spewing hatred against them.

But now you had a bit of a problem, didn't you?

You knew Marcus was behind the vile account, but how to prove it?

If you confronted him, he'd just deny it.

How long were you planning on stringing him along?

I thought he'd stop after he got my letter, but he just carried on posting that stuff.

Which is why you were arguing with Geoffrey before the meeting.

You told him about Marcus, didn't you?

And I bet Geoffrey took the side of the law, telling you that you'd just confessed to blackmail.

Eddingham heard him saying how badly you'd dealt with the situation.

Did he threaten to tell the police?

(scoffs) And that's why you killed him.

And the fact we had an argument proves it.

Do you think I'd have time afterward to pick some aconite, extract its poison, and then lace Geoffrey's coffee with it?

And remember, I saw the killer behind the glass in the kitchen.

Right, I'm going to make everyone a lovely cup of tea and a hot pot of coffee.

Here's a couple of scoops of poison.

(laughing) (window opens) Very funny.

I can see that someone was behind the glass, but until you got right up close, you were just your hair color and a, a shape.

Then the architect's story checks out.

I put out the poisoned coffee pod, and I've stuck around long enough to make sure that Mr.

You're going to want to get out of the building, and fast.

(knocks) ♪ ♪ Why is there a ladder here?

It's just a ladder-- what's your problem?

(train whistle blowing) (whistle continues) (gasps) (slurping) LAURA (in film): I meant to do it, Fred.

I stood there trembling, right on the edge.

I should like to be able to say that it was the thought of you and the children that prevented me, but it wasn't.

(crying softly) Only an overwhelming desire not to feel anything ever again.

(sobs) (closing music begins) (music continues) TANIKA: So, we now know that it was Terrence who was behind Marcus's blackmail, because Marcus has been running a vicious online account, and it was Debbie who was stealing petty cash.

(scoffs softly) Any of these three people could've had reason to want Geoffrey dead if he had found out their secrets.

Leaving only Sophia with no secret, or motive.

SUZIE: Even though it's her that grows the aconite, and who called Alec Miller and told him not to come to the meeting that day.

(button clicks, vibration stops) Becks.

I just finished watching "Brief Encounter."

It was brilliant, but Judith, it proves that Paul Hollingbry lied about where he was at the time of the murder.

(knock at door) (knock at door) Hello, Paul.

If you're looking for Sophia, she's in the garden.

JUDITH: Actually, it's you we want to talk to.

BECKS: You told me you were in the cinema when Geoffrey died.

You also said that it ended happily ever after.

I don't know anyone who'd call that a happily-ever-after.

As I was leaving, I showed your picture to the ushers, and none of them remember seeing you at the screening.

Taking care of other people's money is high pressure.

You know, sometimes, when work's, you know, intense, I go to the cinema.

Well, I didn't know I was going to need an alibi, did I?

I barely knew Geoffrey-- why would I want to kill him?

(phone vibrating) (button clicks, vibration stops) Show yourselves out, yeah?

Why would he want to harm Geoffrey?

I don't know, but he fits the description of the person in the kitchen that day.

JUDITH: I've seen that earring before.

I hope not, because I think it looks like murder.

SUZIE: Says the woman who grows aconite.

(scoffs) ♪ ♪ You know I said how Geoffrey had helped me?

Well, I didn't really see him after that.

But it was then that I, I really got to know him.

And he was just so lovely, and so supportive.

You may have noticed I don't get much of that at home.

And I know it sounds silly, but I found myself thinking about him more and more.

And then we had a council meeting at his house, and I stayed behind after everybody had left, and Geoffrey was telling me about how much he was enjoying my podcast.

How he was using my tips to revive an orchid he was growing, and I just... Oh, Sophia.

I'm so sorry-- I don't know what to say.

He was still in love with his wife.

My earring must have come off then.

I was so embarrassed-- what was I thinking?

Geoffrey said we could just forget about it and carry on as before, as friends.

I was just so confused, but I would never hurt him.

I don't even know, I, he, he just... He just meant so much to me.

Did he threaten to tell your husband?

Geoffrey would never have betrayed me like that!

Not when it would have ruined my marriage.

You know that about him, you know what a good man he was.

I was the last to arrive at that meeting.

I never went anywhere near him or his coffee, and, and now I've got to meet up with the others because we're due to choose his commemorative bench this afternoon, just in case you were wondering if my day could get any worse!

She's always had the means, now she got the motive.

What would he do if he ever found his wife was having an affair?

He can't prove where he was when Geoffrey died.

Are we saying that Sophia called Alec Miller, told him the meeting was canceled, so that her husband could be in the kitchen putting the aconite into her lover's coffee?

Actually, Sophia's not the only person who needs to be somewhere else.

You're getting nearer to that nightcap, one meal at a time.

(laughing) ♪ ♪ Six, two, seven, five, eight, four, two... Okay, so, Jason spotted a ventilation hatch at the council building that wasn't properly closed.

In it, he found a plastic bag which contained a white coat, catering gloves, a syringe, and a blonde wig.

(exhales) So, whoever was in the kitchen was in disguise?

TANIKA: Which also means Terrence Clarkson's description of him just went out the window.

It could have been anyone behind the glass.

(exhales) (piano playing in background) Thank you.

(piano continues, people talking in background) (people talking in background, piano silent) (phone vibrating) (button clicks, vibration stops) JUDITH (on phone): Tanika.

Jason and Brendan found a wig and a syringe hidden at the council building.

Forensics say they found traces of aconite in the syringe.

Is that how the poison got into the coffee?

But they also found two strands of human hair inside the wig.

Both auburn-colored, both a perfect match for Sophia Hollingbry.

TANIKA: Disguised in a blonde wig so no one would recognize her.

JUDITH: I'm here to tell you who killed Geoffrey Truman.

SUZIE: Could be you, Terrence, seeing as Geoffrey found out it was you who's been blackmailing Marcus.

DEBBIE: What are you talking about?

But then you only sent the letter because Marcus is the person behind online account Marlow1628.

Because you can't speak your mind anymore, can you?

You say the wrong thing, you get shut down.

I've been stealing from the council's petty cash account.

Paul doesn't offer private healthcare.

I'll speak to him, we can sort this out.

Well, a full confession and repaying the money can help.

♪ ♪ Geoffrey really was honorable, kind, and, above all, moral.

But if he found out about any of your secrets, each and every one of you would have a motive to silence him.

I... I embarrassed myself with Geoffrey.

It's always looked like Sophia was the killer.

I mean, it was her that grew the aconite.

BECKS: And who phoned Alec that day to tell him not to come to the meeting.

TANIKA: Also, Sophia, we recovered a blonde wig from the council building, along with a syringe that contained aconite.

A few of your hairs were caught in the wig.

You started in the kitchen, wearing a wig and a white coat, making sure to stay behind the thick glass.

Then, using a syringe, you injected aconite into the decaffeinated coffee pod you knew only Geoffrey would use.

Then you left, whipping off your disguise and hiding it, and then, like a waiter going out through one door and in through another, you reentered the council chamber through the other door.

The last to arrive, and a bit late, but who was checking?

We had even managed to locate the one body that had never been found.

Go and read it-- I can prove it, we were working together.

JUDITH (on recording): We can't get any closer.

I'm not letting it go up in flames.

I told you, he was trying to help me!

And there it is-- why he had to die.

You killed him precisely because he was such a good man.

He helped Sophia all those years ago.

When she messed up running the graveyards.

But then my mum died, and I moved to the States to live with my aunt.

Sophia mixed up where people were buried.

The location of one body was never found.

It was your mother's grave that was never found.

♪ ♪ How that must have eaten away at you, not having a grave to visit.

You tried starting a new life in the States, but you couldn't let it go.

But you couldn't find her, and you needed someone to blame.

SUZIE: And that's how you found out about all of that missing money at the council.

You were all over them, like a rash, trying to find out what happened to your mother.

But you kept hitting a brick wall, and you started to wonder if there'd been a cover-up.

BECKS: But you did discover that Sophia was in charge at the time.

And now she was on the town council.

BECKS: Which is when you had a stroke of good fortune.

You bumped into Geoffrey, and when you learnt that he was now mayor, you realized this was your chance to get to Sophia.

You started working with him on your novel, and when Sophia needed a podcast studio installed, Geoffrey knew of your skills, and he put you forward for the job.

So I tend to use the same password for, well, pretty much everything, so that should make your job easier.

SUZIE: Finally, you could get to the bottom of it.

You had access to all her emails and files from back then, but you still couldn't work out where your mum was buried.

BECKS: And while you guessed there might have been a cover-up, you never thought Geoffrey could have been part of it.

He was the person who'd helped Sophia get away with her mistake.

SUZIE: So, you decided to punish them both.

Geoffrey had to be killed for protecting Sophia.

And Sophia you'd frame for the murder, so that she would suffer every single day for what she'd done.

JUDITH: You needed justice, so you constructed a plan.

You took some aconite from Sophia's garden.

SUZIE: And some of her hair that she uses to repel the slugs.

BECKS: You then had to make sure Alec wouldn't attend the council meeting that day.

SUZIE: Easy for someone with your I.T.

BECKS: You constructed a fake message.

SOPHIA (stilted, on recording): ...at the council meeting tomorrow.

SUZIE: You tricked Alec into staying away from the meeting.

SOPHIA (on recording): It's Sophia Hollingbury.

SUZIE: You then went to the council building, put on a disguise, and injected the aconite into the decaf coffee pod you knew only Geoffrey would use.

(cups rattling) You made sure you were seen and then slipped away... ...making sure to hide the disguise and the syringe where the police would later find it.

When the police found Sophia's hair in the wig, you knew they'd figure it was her that Terrence saw before the meeting.

When I returned your manuscript to you, you glanced down at the bench as you said... He really was a great friend to all.

JUDITH: Which I thought rather odd at the time.

I knew the town council were organizing a memorial bench for Geoffrey, and one option for the plaque was, "A great friend to all."

And then I remembered, the police had put an app on my phone.

Do you mind if we put some software on your phone, in case he calls again?

JUDITH: And here you were, the person who'd installed Sophia's I.T.

It would be a simple matter for you to bug her phone, installing spyware to listen, even when it's switched off.

Say that she and Geoffrey found the location of the missing body.

SOPHIA (on speaker): He and I were working on correcting my mistake.

We had even managed to locate the one body that had never been found.

That was the bait-- next, she had to set the trap.

BECKS: Judith met up with Sophia this afternoon, and together, they recorded a little play.

JUDITH: Thank you so much for giving me a lift.

SOPHIA: Oh, don't be stupid-- my car was right there.

BECKS: She got Alec to start a fire at her house, knowing that the smoke would be seen from Marlow.

SOPHIA (on recording): Oh, don't be stupid-- my car was right there.

(siren blaring in distance) But what do you think's happened?

You'd think they were rushing to the fire.

This was where you'd find the paperwork that would tell you, finally, where your mum was buried.

We can look into it, start an inquiry, but currently, no.

Don't believe anyone who says how great he was.

He was a bad man-- covering up crimes is evil.

She's lost in the dirt somewhere, alone!

At least you had to burn down your house to catch me!

What makes you think I burned down my house?

(car approaching) (engine stops, car doors open and close) JUDITH: Alec!

It was an honor to assist the crime-solving trio of Marlow.

And who doesn't love a good bonfire?

Although the three of you did more than just fiddle while I made Rome burn.

BOTH: We don't do these things for fun.

Judith, I am so sorry about this afternoon.

There was a, a medical emergency at work, and I, I had to go to hospital with one of my staff.

Look, I stood you up, and that's unacceptable.

Please accept my sincerest and my deepest apologies.

As it happens, your absence allowed me to solve a murder.

(chuckling) Look, Judith, let me be honest with you.

I am very much taken with you, and I hate the idea that I messed up.

Well, I would love that, but it would have to be in the next few days.

My colleague's illness means that I've been asked to head up a dig in Wales.

They've found some new standing stones in the Preseli Hills.

Well, they, I say "new," they... They're at least 5,000 years old.
