next time I'm giving you a ticket Ralph
you want to see me Captain Bailey
take a seat
nice job on the collymore case thank you
sir heaven knows what made you sit
through 1600 Personnel files to find the
only two employees who both studied
botany I was just being through
that's one word for it obsessive might
be another
I'm not obsessive the devil is in the
detail sir you know you could have asked
Sergeant Beaumont to help you with that
oh he was busy with other aspects of the
case what other aspects Beaumont tells
me you barely let him make coffee but I
let him do things Bailey you're a great
detective and you get results but you've
got to learn how to work well with other
people I do work well with other people
not according to Beaumont or Reynolds or
Whitaker you've been through three
Partners in three years and all because
you insist on doing everything yourself
right because I just like things done
correctly Bailey have you ever wondered
why you haven't had a promotion in five
years
you want to get ahead you gotta loosen
the reins you got to learn how to be a
little flexible I can be flexible
well we'll see
if you heard of Mark Aston any relation
to Senator Aston yeah his brother and
he's dead possibly suspicious yesterday
wait why are we just hearing about this
it happened to Malta
yeah quite the jet Setters the astons
Bronco Global socialites anyway the
senator is insisting that we send our
best detective really
interesting it's being coordinated
through Interpol but uh
I don't know Bailey could you work with
someone in Malta sir I can work with
anyone
well they might do things a little
different there you might have to go
with the flow a little bit oh I can go
with the flow I can totally go with the
flow absolutely
we don't even know for sure if Aston was
murdered and he ran some kind of
ballroom dance company For Heaven's Sake
but if there was Foul Play this could be
big for you career-wise what would
Interpol watching I get it
I get it and I can I can absolutely do
this
okay Bailey I'll take a chance but you
gotta tread lightly and remember
collaborate I can collaborate with
anyone
thank you
[Music]
[Music]
thank you sir
detective Constance Bailey yes Bailey is
fine that's what everyone calls me
Sergeant spiteri Anna Interpol asked me
to be your liaison okay very nice to
meet you Anna so what's the plan well
before you check into the hotel I
thought I'd share with you some case
details and introduce you to your
partner okay great is there any way my
uh my jet lag could need some coffee
along the way sure my car is just over
there
[Music]
believe that guy sorry we drive on the
left here I should have told you to look
the other way you were still going way
too fast but I think I got the plate

the CEO of Aston International is found
dead at the inyala hotel it's a resort
overlooking the Grand Harbor and his
death is suspicious well he's a wealthy
American with no health issues he was
found lying on the floor of his room
there was a glass by his hand with a few
indications of possible poisoning do you
have a toxicology report no not yet it
may take a few days but that may be too
late what do you mean too late Essen was
about to host his team building event
where senior Executives get to compete
in this dance competition a dance
competition yes that is what eston
international does the
dance schools of the world and they hold
annual dance competitions around the
world have you not seen them before
sometimes they're on TV it's really not
my thing well Aston believed that his
Executives would understand the business
better if they had the opportunity to
compete so him and his wife Holden and
will dance competition the event is this
weekend then everybody flies home but if
it is murder our potential suspects
could be gone by the time we get
confirmation of Foul Play yes which is
why we need someone now to compete and
investigate wait hang on did you say
compete
Interpol said you have done undercover
work
sure undercover A lab technician and
counting to normal
oh these are not professionals so is
there just Executives and their Partners
not real dancers I I've never danced a
day in my life I
[Music]
look I really
I really want to go with the flow but I
do not see how I credibly enter a dance
competition oh you don't need to worry
about that we have taken care of
everything
how we found you a dance partner
he'll also play your husband but
[Music]
this is Sebastian oh he looks kind of
familiar no you like musicals then I do
not
wait where have I seen him
in the magazines maybe I think it's what
you call a bad boy he has dated many
famous women no no no that's not it but
wait if he's famous well I want to blow
my cover people might recognize him
famous oh no not so much these forces
are old he's more of a star in his own
mind yes
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
love it Leslie Winnie Fred attitude love
it and yes yes yes
are you sure this guy can help oh yes he
has already agreed
[Music]

had to find you someone who could teach
you to dance and pretend to be your
husband and it was already Immortal
he's perfect
[Music]
here we go
okay everyone
to dance and he will make a good
undercover I just can't have him
interfering
soon
I'm sure he will just help with the
dancing
[Music]

up quickly Interpol got an inside
contact at Essence head office through
his brother the senator they made papers
for you that you are a new employee
hired directly by Mr Aston and invited
here with your husband

little more than that what's that

I really didn't know what to do oh you
did the right thing the competition is
going ahead if you can't believe it
anyone know what happened to Mr Aston
they're not sure but you know these
workaholic bosses no sense of
perspective they work themselves and
those around them into the ground
literally but the competition is still
going ahead
Mrs Aston says that's what her husband
would have wanted
they take the annual company dance very
seriously here it's why all senior
Executives have to compete

the hotel you'll find me down at the
harbor we have a boat dock there The
Duchess hang on you've just joined yes
how did you get invited to this Mary I
thought the invitations this year was
supposed to be Performance Based Tom
Mark invited them himself
uh and my husband here is actually a
very experienced dancer on I dabble
so that explains it you married a dancer
that's one way to get ahead here isn't
it Tom I doubt Sally married her husband
on the off chance that one day she would
get to work at this company you never
know what people will do
Stuart Sally this is Tom Stevens our CFO
you'll have to excuse his behavior
I'm sure it's just a shock from the sad
news about luck
ah yes you're right Jennifer sorry
Jennifer Tate head of marketing
it's nice to welcome such a lovely
couple we're looking forward to seeing
your moves
aren't we all I'm Kevin Hamilton events
director very nice to meet you so where
are everyone's Partners we can't be the
only married couple here divorcey
unmarried happily single
well I really look forward to getting to
know all of you and I apologize in
advance if I've bombard you with
questions as I get up to speed bombardo
way we're one big happy family here yes
absolutely maybe we could get some
dancing tips from your husband if you're
not feeling too competitive oh I'm sure
he'd be glad to share No expertise would
be delighted hi
um we're just getting ready to serve
lunch
everyone enjoying themselves oh yes
we're just having Stuart and Sally how
we're one big happy family well
nothing's more important than family
thanks
[Music]
can you just start doing that thing with
your sunglasses yep
hmm
I think it's a wife Mary Aston what she
barely said two words yeah but she
wasn't exactly grief stricken though was
she well some people do keep things on
the inside not everyone wants to
put on the show maybe but I think she's
definitely having an affair with that
Hamilton champ what oh hold on Jessica
Fletcher what is that based on uh
Instinct yeah something about their body
language the way they looked at each
other okay you've seen way too many
detective shows
all right let's do this
[Music]
no I'm serious
you gotta come join what do you make of
the new girl
I don't think she's a threat
you'll be surprised if Aston hired her
for her husband never could resist the
cute dancer
it's one thing we had in common yes
well Mark asked me won't be doing any
dancing now will he
this couldn't have worked out better if
you had planned it what are you talking
about come on we both know how ambitious
you are Ashton's sudden demise is rather
convenient for you for me
what about you
me look spare me the mark outrage okay
neither of us were fans of Aston
played a part
mice
quite the contrary
I suppose with Mark on now you can roll
out your new campaign globally after all
what a great shop window for your
talents you must be delighted almost as
delighted as you must be now that you're
in line for the top job all right we can
both benefit from this so let's just try
to watch out for one another
okay
[Music]
[Music]
thank you
foreign
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
anyway I sent you the papers I'm getting
out of here
what why
fine but I'm charging extra
[Music]
what are you doing nothing
on the dock you said that we tell
stories with our expression so I was I'm
just practicing oh and what's the story
help I need a doctor
[Music]
it's time to start digging we need to
get to know our suspects you know what
I'm gonna go chat with Mary Aston
[Applause]
what are you putting in your face
oh it's a wrinkle mask very useful after
a lot of sun you should try it
why don't you let me
chat to Mrs Aston so
large oh I know no I know and I get it I
do but there are a lot of people to
question
might look a bit weird if you approach
them all
just tell me what you need to know and I
will ask her
I don't know
come on you've seen how easy it is for
people to open up to me and besides we
do need to collaborate
also Mary Aston thinks of you as a
clever executive
she might be more inclined to let
something slip in front of the dumb
husband oh you do play down very
convincingly and that would free you up
to talk to her lover there is absolutely
no evidence yet that Kevin Hamilton is
involved with her yet
has compare notes after our chats shall
we
look if I don't get what you need from
Mrs Aston you can always approach her
later
this way we cover more ground
see
not so dumb after all
the game is a foot
[Music]
trust me
I've got this all under control
[Music]
thank you Joy that's all for now
hello Sally everything all right hi
Kevin yes I just wanted to come over and
enjoy the view
stunning isn't it that's it well thank
you it really is it's just incredible
you seem a little nervous about the
competition I'm more than a little
nervous I'm a lot nervous no need to be
we're gonna have fun I hope so you know
what would you mind if I asked you just
a few questions just to help myself
acclimatize of course of course I'm just
going through my list asked away so
you've been pinning on these
International competitions for a while
oh yes
must have been decades ago that Mary
first asked me to put something together
oh is it Mary's idea not not marks Mary
was the driver she's something of a
force of nature you've known her a long
time since we were teenagers we used to
dance together in junior competitions
and then years later I heard from her
again out of the blue
she wanted to put on a dance competition
in Paris well we've been doing
international events ever since that's
incredible
you know I was
I was a little surprised when I heard
everything was
going ahead considering Mr Aston just
died
life is short Sally
we all take happiness where we can get
it
I don't know how canceling a happy event
would help anyone I guess I just thought
Mrs Aston might be too upset to go on
Mary is a very pragmatic woman
[Music]
thank you
oh hello
I saw the boat and I just couldn't
resist coming for a closer look
yeah I do
[Music]
what a splendid view Mrs Aston call me
Mary
where's your lovely wife oh you know
doing
lovely wife stuff
between you and I I think she's a bit
nervous about the competition ah no need
she has you
would you like to sit down steward
oh thank you
I appreciate that this must be a
difficult time for you
your husband oh yes well it wasn't
entirely unexpected he did work himself
and everyone around him to the ground
became a bone of contention
yes Sally a workaholic oh I wouldn't say
that no although I'm sure that she will
work very hard for you oh it's okay this
isn't a test
the fact is I don't expect or want all
our Executives to be work crazed
monsters
although we have a few of those ah
now life isn't all about work
it must have its pleasures
[Music]
and Shakespeare
Taming of the shrimp
bring us a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon
the heights 2014.
so
what other surprises do you have in
store for me
[Music]
hello I got it I got it I got it sorry
thanks
so how'd it go with Kevin Hamilton fine
he's quite fond of Mary Aston yes I knew
it they've known each other since they
were teenagers before she met Mark Aston
they used to dance together in his eyes
totally light up when he talks about her
and
turns out that she's actually
responsible for getting him this job
it's like
his life kind of revolves around her oh
who would have thought okay Rockford
don't get smug it doesn't suit you
what'd you find out from Mary Aston well
she reminds me of a casting director I
once knew
yes
a woman driven by the pursuit of
pleasure I think she does what she wants
when she wants really yes it might have
been Mark aston's company but I get the
distinct impression that Mary was the
power behind the throne I'm not sure
sure the two of them are so close
anymore though and how do you know that
well she may have said that she'd
welcome a private dancers
did she make a pass at you are you
jealous no no of course not it's just
it's just principle you know I don't
really want someone making a pass to
your husband even if it's your pretend
undercover husband well fear not your
pretend undercover husband was
completely faithful
although I'm not so sure we can say the
same about Mary but that doesn't make
her a killer no but there was something
she said about Mark working himself and
others into the ground it was definitely
a bone of contention but I think she was
referring to something more specific all
right we'll see what Anna can dig up
right I guess we better go and get ready
the competition we're dancing this
evening you hadn't forgotten that you no
I've tried to I poked my head into the
ballroom earlier and
they're not messing around well neither
are we
know when there's nothing to worry about
come on pun
[Music]
where did you get this dress it's from
one of my shows well I feel like I
should be uh on top of a wedding cake
you look marvelous
yeah just remember posture and smile
[Music]
oh boy
seriously you do look wonderful oh thank
you inspection worse but save the Brit
charm for the suspects
[Music]
let's welcome our competing couples
wait what's happening right now the
presentation will come in now just
follow my lead and smile okay
[Music]
[Applause]
let me take you all to the table thank
you it's just this way
you look lovely thank you
darling
you both look lovely thank you
good luck tonight everyone
good evening so lovely to have a new
couple I'm looking forward to seeing you
to dance
you might have some competition well
that's what we're here for Mary and to
have fun Tom are you dancing together
well neither of us had a partner when we
joined so it's a practical solution and
we also enjoy dancing together don't we
yes of course it goes without saying
I expect the two you make a dazzling Duo
looks charm and that accent you really
landed a good one I did
[Music]
welcome everyone to our annual Aston
company dance where our senior
Executives compete for fun for
friendship and to better understand the
business we're in one step at a time
this year we are in beautiful Malta
where you'll be dancing in some of the
country's most iconic locations to
better Inspire your dances and as always
Kevin has done a wonderful job
[Applause]
thank you very much
once again three judges will be watching
you dance marry myself and our new event
liaison Barbara Stone
we'll be looking at a combination of
factors I'll be judging skill merry
presentation
and Barbara chemistry and who knows Mary
and I may even come and join you on the
Dance Floor
[Applause]
foreign
will you not be dancing Barbara I didn't
come here to dance I'll judge from afar
so Tom are you now in line to take over
the company
oh I I mean that is up to the board and
Mary to the side but it's a possibility
as CFO although a relatively new CFO oh
what happened to the former CFO he died
I thought that was before you arrived I
heard about it
cocktail time
it's an hour before the competition
they're serving cocktails on the Terrace
would you like to join
sure yes we'll join you
[Music]
so when did the former CFO die oh it's a
year ago wasn't it a hot stuck I think
it was close to a time like days away I
think oh how unfortunately well this
place can do that to you mark drives
drove us all pretty hard it's not unique
to this company it's very competitive
industry true but it doesn't hurt not to
take things so seriously don't let this
one fool you she's as competitive and as
ambitious as anyone here Tom that's the
nicest thing you've ever said to me
[Music]
I guess so
[Music]
lovely just remember the Rhythm
that's it you're doing great don't even
think about it that's all I can think
about I love till you asked Tom if he
was in line for the touch on his face
I think he's definitely saying something
smile so are we making progress well I'm
starting to think no one at our table
can be trusted is that progress
well I understand why Mary is a suspect
Loveless marriage shifted apart Kevin
Hamilton might be in love with her so
that puts him likewise the nakedly
ambitious Tom Stevens and what is
Jennifer Tate's motivation maybe you can
talk to Tom see if he'll reveal anything
about her I can't tell if they like or
load each other
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Applause]
top three I reckon I think we did okay
someone's getting a little competitive
no it's called maintaining cover oh
really when was the last time we had
this much fun on the case okay stop it
Crockett we have work to do I want Anna
to look into the CFO the former CFO and
see if there's anything fishy there and
we need to speak with a maid who
discovered Mark Gaston's body
Roger that Detective
thank you
well done you two I knew it'd be fun to
watch be careful Mary we don't want to
reveal the judge's thoughts question
quite right considering the silence okay
well as the judge of chemistry I can say
it was crystal clear that you are a very
happily married couple
every time you look at each other your
face is just lit up oh
um I think I'm gonna go to the bar and
get a proper drink anyone fancy joining
me
I'd actually love to pick Jennifer's
brain about shoes I think my heels are
just too high
I think I'll join you Stuart
great okay
my feet are killing me
I have to say Tom I'm rather impressed
with your dance skills it's just
pragmatism people who dance they do
better here so I learned
two whiskeys please
thank you
don't tell me you don't enjoy the
dancing of the Tom well I enjoy that I
work for a market leader if the astons
made us play softball I would have
gotten good example
like I told you Jennifer is just as
ambitious as I am she must have been
upset though with the death of Mark
Aston no
they weren't close actually she was
frustrated with him she finding this new
Global rebranding campaign for months
very high profile and Mark he wasn't
Keen in effect he was stalling her
career and that's not why he's with
Jennifer
[Music]
thanks for the advice I'm really not
used to well not used to anything but
it's all in so strange isn't it but
every company has its Quirk so find your
way you and Tom seem to have worked it
all out
can I be honest I don't know that he
really likes me Tom doesn't like anyone
he doesn't find this inefficient use of
times
do you think he'll be the new boss
well he wanted to be CFO and that
happened and
now he wants to be in charge and there's
an opening so
[Music]
delicious
[Music]
congratulations to our wonderful
Executives your passion for our business
shows itself on the Dance Floor
[Applause]
inspiration to us all thank you
foreign
couples who made the final they are
Michael and Claire
Jeffrey and Rebecca
Christian and Brenda
Tom and Jennifer
James and Simone
wait for it and finally our newest
arrivals Stuart and Sally let's give all
of them a round of applause
[Music]
and round two will be the tango
[Applause]
congratulations
now things get serious challenge
accepted yes bring it on
[Music]
[Music]
breakfast
uh
[Music]
uh one moment please
[Music]
good morning
[Music]
I feel like I'm running a marathon while
you use a lot of muscles dancing that
you're not used to there's bound to be a
reaction makes sense and then there was
a champagne but I had one glass maybe
two
oh that is bright
shall I pour coffee
oh no we'll manage thank you wow what a
wild few days huh oh I know so crazy yes
now we heard about Mr Aston now we were
told that a maid discovered the body it
wasn't you was it imagine no no it was
poor Judy Maxwell
on her second day poor thing
I don't think she'll stay
so the last person to see Aston and
Alive started just the day before really
foreign
how was your dance
oh we survived
[Music]
how's the research oh good I have a lot
of information do you have a suspect no
too many let's have some coffee
how are you Anna I'm good thank you how
are you oh very good very impressed with
this one's skills
[Music]
on the Dance Floor
um I think I'll go and take a shower
unless the two of you need me no I think
we got it from here
looks like I found you a good partner
he's a nightmare he thinks he's Sherlock
Holmes so who do you want me to look at
all right from these background checks I
want you to focus on Mary Aston Tom
Stevens Kevin Hamilton and Jennifer Tate
oh and there's a maid here Judy Maxwell
do a check on her anything you can find
I understand how and then lastly will
you look into the former CFO of the
company what's his name I don't know but
he was CFO up until his death last year
just dig up anything you can find
including how he died
[Music]
thank you
no we could cycle on the beach there's a
bike path too much sun too much Breeze
people it's more efficient Pace here a
little inefficiency isn't always bad
maybe not for you
Stuart and Sally were quite good weren't
they he carried her
we worked well together we're not gonna
win it if that's what you're suggesting
I just think they coordinated with what
are you getting at when you were at the
bar with Stuart
what did you talk about
I don't know the competition the company
he asked about you
I'm sure you said nice things she asked
about you
asked what oh you got the CFO alone
really
lovely couple but they do ask a lot of
questions
you wouldn't want to be hiding any big
secrets
I'm gonna go shower
okay see you later
[Music]
excuse me is there any way we could have
a word with Judy Maxwell Judy
she's on the breakfast patio cleaning up

headed that way

oh yes yes I just wanted I wanted to
thank her for a restaurant she
recommended very well madam

Delight

an actor how hard can it be
[Music]
I think that might be her
here put these on why because he'll see
him as tractor we're collaborating
um excuse me Judy yes Madam can I help
you actually I think we can help you I'm
sorry my husband here is a psychiatrist
he is I am and when we heard about your
whole ordeal and bring a dead body he
thought you might need to talk to
someone yes I'm discovering a body can
be rather traumatic
I'm fine
sure
who fine shock isn't a mediated it takes
the brain a day or two to process why
don't you tell me in your own words what
happened you may find that it's helpful
oh honey you have helped so many people
if I were you I I would talk to him
look I'm fine I just went to a suite to
do turndown service
the guy asked me for some towels then he
must have killed over but so you didn't
see him fall no I was in another room
tidy
I thought turned on service was just
getting the bed ready
what is this it's good to focus on the
details you see that's how we get to the
root
the trauma I'm not traumatized thank you
I just want to get on with my work
well I'm here if you feel differently
well she didn't want to talk
add her to the list of suspects yeah why
not everyone else is on the list
it's me I know you wanted me to stay on
but I'm leaving
no I don't care I got you the papers
that was the job I didn't sign up to
drink over dead bodies and I'm being
psychoanalyzed by the guests enough is
enough
I don't know some doctor in his nosy why
I started asking me questions he was
told her care English accent she was yes
English she was American kind of blunt
hello
hello
[Music]
so the Tango huh oh don't worry there's
nothing to it
it's called The Walking dance yeah it's
basically Walking With Attitude
and you can do that I've seen you you
know what Mr fancy fans I have a
question for you
why is it that you're traveling all over
the world teaching dance to old people
and cranky detectives
well
I guess I don't know when you achieve a
certain amount of Fame and success it's
very easy to get caught up in I don't
know
things that don't matter
see when I was young I spent a lot of
time with my Aunt Vera
she basically brought me up she is the
one who taught me to dance
we just have this dressing up box and
every day I would I would
jump in and throw on a costume and I
would become that character until the
sun went down sounds like fun it was and
a few years ago my Aunt Vera got very
sick
I was scared I was going to lose him but
she pulled through
when she did I realized that
I don't want to spend any more time on
things that don't matter
so I asked her
you know
what you should be doing
and what did she say she said if it's
not helping someone else then why are
you doing it
sounds like a very smart woman she is so
now whenever I can I enjoy helping
people young or old teach them to dance
move laugh play well with others all the
while utilizing my astonishing crime
solving skills
anyway enough investigating me Detective
it's time for us to tango
[Music]
ready
why are we in the water because I want
you to forget about your feet
I want your feet to slide and glide so
that we can concentrate on the
connection of the upper body okay no see
resist me yes why did I ever think that
that would be a problem ready and smash
not me sorry

stop asking questions you've just had
your fun morning

you think I'm shallow but just look
again darling there's more to me than
meets the eye you know it's true I don't
know what to think anymore this case has
got me upside down and turned around
it always comes down to the same three
things
but why don't you show me and spell it
out
[Music]
power passion Revenge the three things
that make a killer power that fits two
of them for sure passion well that puts
a different pair in the frame the
Revenge I don't know
there's just something I'm not seeing
hmm perhaps we need to see this from a
different angle darling
[Music]
[Applause]
well it certainly can't hurt
thank you
uh what
Anna hi
can we meet there's a cafe near hotel
called marlas we should sit at separate
table so we're not seen together by a
hotel guests who might go there yeah of
course we'll meet you there
what
were you just kissing your pillow
weird
[Music]
what happened to you oh it's nothing
someone's just getting nervous what do
you got the CFO who died it doesn't look
suspicious his name was James travertine
who was 64 a widower one daughter do we
know how he died heart attack and he was
just one week away from retirement yes
we heard that he must have been planning
some Adventures he had just bought a
boat look
funny girl oh I love funny girl didn't
Streisand win an Oscar for that
who's the girl his daughter
I think so but that's not the big news I
saved the best for last the maid Judy
Maxwell she's a spy what I knew it yes a
spy industrial Espionage she works for a
company called gray Circle they do
corporates and business research do we
know who hired them no and they won't
tell us unless we get a warrant but that
may take time well I guess we just have
to ask Judy Maxwell and we probably
better hurry I don't know how much
longer she's going to be at the hotel
hmm
excuse me I need to speak with Judy
Maxwell oh you just missed her she's
already finished for the day I know
she's leaving I'm afraid she decided the
job wasn't a good fit
do you know where she is right now she
was taking her bags to the elevator for
the car park about two minutes ago thank
you you're welcome
do you have earphones for your phone yes
why
you go that way I'll go this way the car
park comes out on the side street behind
the resort because they approach it from
both sides one of us will see her stay
on your phone
[Music]
I have eyes on you eyes well that's what
you say isn't it sure wait where are you
we're approaching the intersection with
the red telephone boxes all right I know
it
let's do that to ride a scooter
[Applause]
is a traffic Buster motorcycle control
well that explains your skill which is
coming to a stop
[Music]
stick with her I'll circle around
well you can have breakfast driving to a
list of misdemeanors
[Music]
you're forced her to the main row
I'll go straight
foreign
[Music]
um we're by the sea
[Music]
[Applause]
you okay I'm fine
hello
fancy chat
[Music]
the local police will be here shortly
you have a lot of explaining to do
what's this about why were you chasing
me we know you're not a maid we know you
work for gray Circle
that's not a crime it is when you're
obstructing a murder investigation what
we have reason to believe Mark Aston was
poisoned and you were the last person to
see him alive poisoned I don't know what
you're talking about I just cleaned the
room spare is the act you weren't in the
room to clean it what were you there for
and remember anything you say could be
used in evidence against you at a murder
trial
look I was just hired to get some papers
from aston's room I also take pictures
of them and email them to the client
that was it but then as I was leaving I
saw him on the floor I checked his pulse
but he was already dead I assumed it had
a heart attack there was nothing I could
do who hired you that's confidential
not according to the warrant which is on
its way
[Music]
for a Tate
[Music]
Stuart Sally it was a nice surprise come
in
is this not a social visit Sally
it's Bailey detective Bailey actually
and this is my partner detective Moore
inspector
consultant
do you mind stepping out so we can have
a word
[Music]
well I guess that's why you ask so many
questions
can you tell us why you hired gray
Circle to break into Mark Gaston's room
on the night of his death
I wanted to see Mark's projections and
plans for the forthcoming year
look I left my last job because it was a
boys club and they kept me out of the
loop on important decisions
so when I discovered that Tom Stevens
was conspiring with Kevin Hamilton on
something I I was determined not to be
kept in the dark again
thought if I could get hold of Mark's
papers I would level the playing field I
mean I didn't know he was going to drop
dead of a heart attack
what makes you think it was a heart
attack
I just assumed he
was a workaholic okay and he drove the
last CFO to a heart attack so it would
be some form of karmic Justice
you mean it wasn't a heart attack
I knew it was too convenient convenient
for who
take your pick the wife in love with
someone else the man after his own slice
of the fortune the ambitious CFO
maybe they're all in on it together we
can't comment on an ongoing
investigation
but we will need to hold you for further
questioning
and I'm afraid if you spoke to anyone
you could be considered an accessory
after the fact
and there is a small matter of you
hiring someone to commit that
foreign
[Music]
just going to ask you to uh
help me with these I'm not sure of
course
oh nice
how's the new strapping on the wrist oh
it's much better yeah it's gonna be fine

for the murder of Mark Aston
laughs nice move breaking the central
connection Detective
[Music]
well it was all about revenge huh
revenge and money Barbara blamed Mark
Aston for working her father to death
but also because he never reached
retirement
he didn't get the final bonus or share
options he was promised that would have
amounted to Millions which would have
eventually gone to Barbara you know what
they say huh it's always about the
spouse not in this case Mrs Aston was
innocent well innocent of murder before
Mark aston's death Kevin Hamilton and
Tom Stevens were conspiring to position
the company for a hostel Taker and Mary
was helping them she wanted a new life
with Hamilton and he wanted a chunk of
the sale money Stevens wanted the CEO
job but sharp business practices aren't
a crime
