I hope you don't mind me calling.

I got your number from Mrs. Eddingham.

I want to invite you to a party.

I'm sorry?

This afternoon.

To celebrate my marriage tomorrow.

What do you say?

What I would say, Sir Peter, is that we've never met.

Ah, but your reputation precedes you.

And I'm worried something might happen.

Something bad?

I can't say, not over the phone.

Come to the party and I'll tell you all about it there.

This isn't your first marriage, is it?

How do you know that?

Well, men with titles can always get a wife, suggesting at least one divorce in the past, and almost certainly children who are about to get a new stepmother.

Is that your problem?

I was right to call you.

What time is the party?

It's, it's from 2:30-- will you be there?

Oh, of course.

On one condition-- that I can bring two friends with me.

Oh, well, absolutely.

I didn't know he'd even followed me.

But if we're talking about tensions, why don't you tell everyone about yours and Dad's big bust-up?

It was nothing.

TRISTRAM: My sister's company needed a loan, and Dad said he wouldn't throw good money after bad.

Who didn't believe in you.

No, I was upstairs when he died.

(chuckles): Yeah, at some point, but how do we know that's where you were when the cabinet was pushed onto your dad?

Look, I hate Jenny.

I'll admit it.

She was only ever after Father's money.

It was the one thing Tristram and I agreed on.

But she was upstairs when he died.

I'll vouch for her, even though it puts her in the clear, because that's where I was, as well.

As this button proves.

(door closes) This family.

All they care about is the money.

But this is bad news, isn't it?

If Rosanna was upstairs with Jenny at the time, that's two suspects that couldn't have done it.

Okay, it just means that someone else killed him.

Like who?

The only person that's ever benefited from the death is Tristram.

And he was outside with us at the time.

I know.

What if he had an accomplice?

Who was inside the study killing Sir Peter, while he stayed outside.

Like who?

JUDITH: How about the loyal gardener?

You mean Adam Warner.

Oh... His name does keep cropping up.

Then we need to go and talk with him.

You know, I love the idea of Tristram having an accomplice.

♪ ♪ (car doors close, engine starts) ♪ ♪ Alice, have you got an update on the study key?

I spoke to two blacksmiths.

They said if anyone had tried to make a copy of the key, there'd be marks on the original.

(I.D.

scanner beeps) Where it was gripped in a vice, or whatever.

TANIKA: And there weren't any marks?

No one's ever made a copy of that key.

It's the only one.

(door closes) Sorry.

(people talking in background) TANIKA: Ma'am?

Detective Sergeant-- just wanted to check in on the Bailey case.

Of course.

(door closes) Any credible suspects?

A few possibles, but they've all got alibis.

Then any theories on how someone might have killed him and then got out of the room afterwards?

None that make sense, but there's something not right about it.

We still can't find Sir Peter's latest will, and he contacted Judith Potts that morning.

He said he was worried.

About what?

He thought something bad would happen.

What evidence is there of foul play?

Nothing that would stand up in court.

We only have limited resources and a backlog of cases.

But if I could just... No-- unless and until a new and concrete lead develops, it's time to move on.

Yes, ma'am.

But good work.

It is important to be thorough.

(door opens) (people talking in background) (door opens) (door closes) When the DCI first asked me to act up, she told me I should trust my instincts.

She wants us to drop the Bailey case.

The cabinet had been removed from its hook beforehand and fingerprints were wiped from evidence in the room.

And Sir Peter's new will is still missing.

I don't know who did it or how it was done or why it was done, for that matter.
