Ah, the rain has stopped at last.
I'm so tired.
I know, darling. I know.
What the hell is going on?
Oh, my God!
Go outside, call the police. No, no, no!
What? He might still be alive.
Rapidement!
Come on, there might still be someone here.
Out, now. Please, stay out. Come on.
Police! Come on, move!
It's all right. It's all right, darling.
Come on, calm down.
It's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Yes, yes...
The new gaffer isn't here yet, so, er,
how do you want to proceed, Sarge?
Follow the SOP?
Standard Operating Procedure.
The incident trailer's here, Sarge. Where do you want it parked?
How far back do you want the inner and outer cordons?
Er... How far do you normally...?
Uh-oh... incoming.
I think this is her.
She's just transferred from London. Look busy.
DCI Lauren McDonald, I'm your SIO.
Park that incident trailer over there.
I want an inner cordon covering this front bit here.
Outer cordon, 50-metre radius.
Is there no CCTV out here? This is Bath, ma'am.
No-one is allowed to spoil the facade.
This house is a listed building.
The Chief Super has assigned me a DS Dodds as my deputy.
Er, that's me, ma'am.
OK... what have we got?
Er... Well, someone's been murdered.
Er, I'll walk you through it, ma'am.
The victim's a white male, one shot to the abdomen.
No ID on him. No wallet. No phone.
The time of death, between seven and 10:00PM last night.
The body was found at eight this morning,
when the owner and his wife
came back from an overnight stay in London.
The wife called 999 straight away. We were here by 8:07.
No ID, really?
See those tattoos on his fingers? "Love" and "fear".
Home-made. Prison tatts.
His prints will be on the database.
Anything missing? Yeah, an ancient Roman artefact.
The Faceless Man. Worth 200 grand.
Taken from up there.
Also signs of a break-in through the back door.
Right, show me.
A big house.
Isn't there an alarm system? Yeah.
It only covers the external doors.
But it's not working down here.
A damp issue short-circuited it and it's not been fixed yet.
Any cameras out here?
Afraid not, ma'am. What is this, 1920?
So, what do we think?
Two intruders.
One shoots the other and scarpers with the statue.
Who's the owner?
Maxton Crockett, MBE.
CEO of Crockett Innovation.
Entrepreneur, designer, engineer, philanthropist.
Worth 30 million.
And you've checked his alibi?
As we speak.
Oh, hi.
Max Crockett.
Good to meet you, Detective.
Oh, Detective Sergeant Dodds, sir. I'm so sorry.
Sergeant? DCI Lauren McDonald.
Senior Investigating Officer.
Sorry. Unconscious bias.
No worries. Sir, I know this isn't easy,
but I need to go through exactly what happened this morning.
Sir, you said you got back here around 8:00AM.
Yes, I disabled the alarm.
Mathilde saw him and screamed out.
So, after... Was it still raining, sir?
I'm sorry?
When you got home this morning, was it still raining?
No, no, the rain had stopped.
Oh, my daughters. Sorry. They're frantic.
Nearly done.
So, after you heard your wife scream, what exactly did you do?
Well, Mathilde called the police.
And I, er, you know, checked if he was still alive.
Who on earth is he? Er, we don't know yet, sir.
But we think he's been in prison.
Checked?
Checked how?
Well, his pulse, breathing.
Any news on my statue, the Faceless Man?
Our priority is finding the person that pulled that trigger, sir.
No, I know. Sorry. Of course. Absolutely.
But it's just sentimental value.
My daughters bought it for me for Christmas.
It was brought to here by the Roman Emperor Vespasian.
He was one of my heroes. Yeah, we're in a bit of a hurry.
So, one of the officers will take fingerprints
and trace samples from both of you.
Elimination. Your trace evidence will be all over the body,
from when you checked for signs of life.
Sure. God, sorry.
Damn. I didn't realise.
No, you did exactly the right thing, Mr Crockett.
Exactly the right thing.
Hi, Meg.
Yes, darling, don't worry.
Don't worry, we're all fine.
Yes, she's fine.
"We think he's been in prison." Really?!
You do not tell witnesses/suspects/anybody
anything without my say-so, OK?
Yeah, I'm... I'm sorry, ma'am.
It's just that it's been a while since I've been, erm...
Operationally deployed? Yes.
How long? Ten years.
What? Sorry. 11.
So, the victim comes up here, grabs the sculpture thing...
His daughters bought him a 200-grand bit of art?
The Crocketts are a very high-achieving family, ma'am.
They...
