Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 2 - If Music Be the Food of Love - full transcript

[MUSlC: "Voices of Spring"
by Johann Strauss I I]

OK, chest up.

Soft knees, everybody.

Remember your frame.

Think elegance.

Nice extension. Good.

You need a bit more drive
from the standing foot.

Nice control though.

Still arms!

We 're dancing the waltz,
remember, not directing traffic.

[LIGHTS BUZZ][MAN
GIRLS GIGGLE ROANS]



[DANCERS GASP]

DANCER: Oh, my God.

[SHE GASPS]

SEBASTIAN: Camomile.

With a spot of honey
for your nerves.

WOMAN: Thank you.

Poor Brian.

The sight of him lying there.

I mean, one minute he's up a ladder
with glitter balls, the next...

Oh!

And this is all
part of the curse?

There is no curse.

It's social media trolls. Helped
along by the Stratford Star.

Stella and Desmond Lucas,
they also taught at the school



died last month on their way to
judge a ballroom competition.

It's hardly the greatest advert.

And uh, all three were business partners?
- WOMAN: Yes.

There ' s only half of us
left now in the tontine.

Sorry, the ton what?

Well, that's how we started.

As a tontine.

Three dance couples,
we all invested.

Of course, we've
expanded since then.

We own quite a few schools now.

LU: I'm so sorry.

I've no idea what a tontine is.

[HE COUGHS ]If you 'Il allow me.

A tontine or "ton-teen"
is a legal agreement

by which participants invest equally
to buy, own or build something

and that something is
then jointly owned.

As the participants die
off, their shares are...

uh... shared, as it
were. [HE CHUCKLES]

Because shares can't be
passed on or inherited

the last person alive
gets everything.

It's... Well, it's essentially
a mortality lottery, isn't it?

[SHE GASPS ]Wow.

That was impressive, wasn't it?

No, it wasn't. He 's
reading it off his phone.

What? I...

[FRAN K LAUGHS]

[SHE SIGHS] Mr Hathaway.

Students are cancelling,
numbers are down by 60 percent.

We need help.

I don't know what we can do. I
can't do anything about trollies.

Trolls.

Yeah, them.
- But you can confirm that it's nonsense.

There is no curse.

The school is perfectly safe.
I need people to know that.

I've always fancied trying
ballroom dancing actually.

Cos it's just so
glamorous, isn't it?

With all the make up and the hair
and the sequins and the heels and...

And that's just the men.

[LU LAUGHS]

Well, you ' d be a natural.

You have lovely posture.

Do I? Oh, thank you.

So have you.

I can no other answer make but
thanks and thanks and ever thanks.

So, Mr Hathaway.

Mmm.

Can you help us?

Let' s erm, get some
details from ya. [HE CHUCKLES]

Come on, take some notes.

Right, what's our plan of action?
- We haven't got one.

LU: What?

Well, it's just social media
guff, isn't it? It' Il go away.

Besides, we can't deny something
that doesn't exist, can we?

Can't we?

Course not.

Cos that would be a negative
denying another negative

which is a double negative.

See?

You just can't.

So what are you saying? That we
just cash the cheque and do nothing?

No, we get hold of the coroner' s report,
confirm accidental death in both cases

and then we cash her cheque.

Please, Frank.

Can't we just go down there, have a look
at the dresses, see what's going on?

[HE SIGHS] I am not setting
foot in a building

where they wear gold
lamé and do the foxtrot.

I hate fleckles.
- Oh.

Pleeeeeeeease.

[HE GIRLS GIGGLE RUNTS]

OK, how about this?

I ring Beattie and tell her we ' Il
send over our best undercover man.

Ooh, yes. Good idea.

Sebastian!
- Sebastian!

FRAN K: How do
you fancy a day...

Two. Two days.
- Two days in the dance studios, eh?

Have a little mooch around.

Well no, he can't just mooch
about aimlessly, he needs to...

Oh, heaven forfend.

That would be Mooch
Ado about Nothing.

[HE LAUGHS]

Never mind.

And your undercover name is?

[IN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: ]Anton.

And you're ready
to join the school?

Oh, just you try and stop me.

Good.

You 'Il enjoy it. We 're a
pretty friendly bunch here really.

Like one big family.
- Ah.

This is where you register.

Beattie.

Uh, Tania will take
you through the form.

I 'Il leave you to it.

It isn't up to you, Tania.
- Oh yes it is.

You are not dancing with
my son in Blackpool.

We ' re in the semi-finals. We ' re
the words to win. Tell her, Toby.

My son needs a proper partner.

We 're going to
Blackpool, Tania.

We will partner in the semi-finals
whether you like it or not.

He 's dancing with Svetlana.

Aren't you, Toby?

Since when?
- Since I realised

her pasodoble is
better than yours.

You're not holding my son back.

Toby, is this true?

It's uh...
- It's done!

How dare you interfere.

How dare you think
you can match my son.

You have no natural
talent, Olivia.

You've about as much grace
as a giraffe on roller skates

and your waltz...

it's like a stuffed wardrobe.

Uh...

I 'Il pop back later.

[MUSIC: "Ven Pa Ca" by
Francisco Leon Rodriguez]

TANIA: Yes.

You're very agile.

Oh! Dear God.

Samba is all about
being confident.

Bold.

So flirt.

Flirt. Flirt.

Grab your partner' s attention.

Feel the heat from their moves.

Let them feel your heat.

Ooh, that is quite
a lot of heat.

[HE LAUGHS]

TANIA: You're supposed to
dance with untamed passion

not stagger like
an ironing board.

Hips!

Where are your hips?

Here.

What the hell is this?
- It's my sexy hip action.

You're completely knock-knee ' d.
- What?

[HE LAUGHS] I did a whole
dance module at RADA...

rather, a prestigious Australian
academy, and nobody ever mentioned that.

[SHE LAUGHS] You want to
get your money back.

Right.

Well done, everybody. Well done.

I will see you
all here tomorrow.

[HE SHUDDERS]

[HE EXHALES]

[HE SIGHS]

[HE SIGHS]

Hi.

Sorry about earlier. Don't
let it put you off joining.

[HE LAUGHS]

I'm Toby. I help out with
demonstrations. They call me Mr Rumba.

Or Mr Philkes, which is
actually my real name.

Anton.

Good dance name. Welcome.

It's good to have
some young blood.

[HE LAUGHS]

TOBY: So uh...

All the women. Eh? That's
why you're here, is it?

For the women?

I can honestly say it's not.

I seduced my
girlfriend through...

the rumba.

Oh. Oh, you don't
need to show me. Wow.

TOBY: lt's not called
the dance of love...

[FlNGERS CLICK]

for nothing.

TANIA: Toby!

Something wicked this way comes.

I made your sandwiches.

It's your favourite cheese
and homemade pickle.

And I made you some biscuits.
- Thank you.

You look tired, darling.

You need to save your
energy for Blackpool.

I'm fine.

Remember to rest after class.
- I will.

TANIA: And uh, stay
away from Olivia.

You've got so much
talent, darling.

She 'Il only hold you back.

Yeah. Cheers, mate.
I owe you a pint.

That was Don from the
coroner' s office.

He got a look at Stella and
Desmond Lucas' s report.

Out driving late one night, heavy
rain, lost control of the car.

So Beattie was right, it
was a tragic accident.

Any word on Brian?

He 's gonna get back to me
on that as soon as possible.

Cheers.
- Thank you.

Well, I was looking at the
books of the dance school

and before the rumours started,
they were making a fortune

so we 're in the wrong game.

No, we 're not.

Dancing is not my idea
of time well spent.

Especially since my wedding.

You know, I led my bride onto the dance
floor for the first dance, twisted my ankle.

Oh. What was your first dance?

"Bat Out of Hell."

Ooh. [SHE LAUGHS]

Sebastian 's gonna teach me
a few steps. Wanna join in?

Argentine Tango.
- Uh nah, I'm busy.

And then we 're going to
do the Batucadas later.

Yeah, I 'Il be out
doing the battered cod.

Ooh. So, how do we start?

[IN AN ARGENTl NE ACCENT:]
You go back on your right.

LU: Ooh!
- SEBASTIAN: Side step with your left

and join them together.

So did you learn anything else at the
dance school, apart from the tango?

Philistine.

Now this way.

Actually, that school is not
a happy place at the moment.

Could cut the atmosphere with a kn...
- LU: Oh!

Knife.
- Oh, sorry.

Ooh! You're OK.[ HE SNIFFS]

How do you mean?

SEBASTIAN: Uh, well Beattie
's daughter, Olivia

and Tania hate each other.

[HE GIRLS GIGGLE]
RUNTS] [LU:] Oh!

Yes, it's really quite
grim, to be honest.

FRANK: Oh, great.

What am I supposed tell Beattie?

It's not social media
driving her students away

it's her daughter and
her teaching staff.

Uh, careful. Tania's not
staff. She 's a tontine member.

She owns as much of the
school as Beattie does.

[FOOT STAMPS] - Oh!

So maybe we should just tell her the truth,
you know, tell her what you've found out.

Well, on the plus side,
there 's no death curse.

As soon as we get confirmation
of accidental death on Brian

I 'Il tell her we 're done,
case closed.

Uh, I'm going back
tomorrow whatever happens.

No, you won't.
- Yes, I am.

You promised me
two days, remember?

Samba, followed by
tango, followed by rumba.

I will get this. That
was annoyingly good.

Thank you.

[SHE GIRLS GIGGLE GIG]
LES ]]Did you like it?

No?

KEELER: And when you arrived,
the door was already open?

Yes.

And you didn't see anybody else?

Only the cleaner. Poor Tania.

[HE SHUDDERS]

Maybe the school
really is cursed.

Cursed?
- Oh, uh...

Rumour going round.

It's all over social
media.[ HE LAUGHS]

Rubbish. It's
obviously a break-in.

She 's walked in right
in the middle of...

I'm not discussing
this with you.

Why were you here
in the first place?

Oh, I brought my enrolment form.

So you're not undercover?

No.

Not at all.

I am here to loosen my
swivel and polish my shimmy.

And Frank Hathaway has
no idea that you're here?

He 's not a dance fan.

You tell Frank Hathaway
I'm watching him.

Am I clear?

Crystal.

Now get out.

[TANGO MUSIC PLAYS]

Don't mind me.
- Out!

A burglary?
- Well, that's what Keeler says.

How did it look to you?

Well, the place was a
mess, so it's possible.

Thanks, Sebastian. We' Il see you later.

D 'you think Keeler' s right?
She walked in on someone?

I don't buy it.

Three sets of deaths.
There' s something going on.

Maybe the school is
cursed after all.

Curse or not, there 's a pattern. And
I don't like the look of it one bit.

She was one of my
oldest, dearest friends.

Maybe you should take
a couple of days off.

I've no intention of going back into
that school until I know it's safe.

That could have been me.

[SHE SOBS]

When you came to see us,
you mentioned the tontine.

Yes.

And there are only
half the members left.

And now Tania' s gone too.

It's just myself and Ben.

Ben?

[SHE WAlLS]

You don't think this is
about the tontine do you?

No, we 're just trying to keep
an open mind about everything.

You don't have an address
for this Ben, do you?

Benedict Lovedon.

I don't I'm afraid.

Phone number or a date of birth?

You don't think he 's
in any danger, do you?

We 're just looking

at the bigger picture.

BEATTIE: Well, I don't know where
he is. We completely lost touch.

[SHE SOBS]

Is that photograph of you?

With Ben, yes.

He was the best
partner I ever had.

That man could dance on an
egg and not crack the shell.

They look amazing,
don't they, Frank?

Yeah. I mean, quite sweaty.

They were happy days.

Ben was a lovely
man. [SHE LAUGHS]

We didn't part on good terms. I
treated him very badly I'm afraid.

What happened?

I was ambitious, and I wanted to
be somebody in the dance world

and Ben developed epilepsy.

And when I found
out, I dumped him.

[SHE WAlLS]

I've been ashamed ever since

and I told Olivia, " Don't ever fall
in love with your dance partner.

It' Il only lead to heartache."

Well, thanks for
your time, erm...

we 'Il keep you posted
if we find anything out.

Are you going to be OK?

OK.

Thank you.
- Yes, thanks.

Oh!

Wait!

Erm, he has a sister.

Erm, Ruby. We were friends for a while
but I don't have an address I'm afraid.

Do you have a number?

Sorry. It was a long time ago.

Well, uh, we ' Il keep in touch.

Mr Hathaway.

When you find him

would you say hello from me?

Yeah, course.

FRANK: Yeah, alright.
- Never mind. Thanks for your help.

Yeah. Thanks, mate.
[HE GIRLS GIGGLE ROANS]

Please, somebody tell
me you've got something.

There are no Benedict Lovedons
on the electoral register.

And he 's not dead, at
least not officially.

And if he is alive, he
certainly doesn't pay any bills.

Well, he can't have
vanished into thin air.

What if he 's not the killer? What
if the killer got to him years ago?

Well, that would mean
Beattie would get everything.

But she can't be
the killer, can she?

Why would she come to us?

Come on, Lu.

And I 'Il just hold the
fort again then, shall I?

Yeah, good idea.

We have to find
Benedict Lovedon.

Keep digging!

D 'you know, whoever this Ben guy is, I
don't think Beattie 's ever got over him.

Well, she might have
had a lucky escape

if he turns out to be
a cold-blooded killer.

You haven't got a romantic
bone in your body, have you?

Yes.
- Frank.

No.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Depends if you're
thinking about lunch.

That Ben has been harbouring a
grudge for years since he was dumped

and now he ' s just picking off
other tontine members one by one

until he owns everything.

Well, it's a bit out there,
but it's not impossible.

It would explain
why he disappeared.

I love it when
you agree with me.

I didn't agree, I
just didn't disagree.

Uh, that means you agreed.

I disagree, I didn't agree.

Right, well, we ' Il just
have to agree to disagree.

Well, I agree that we have
to find this Ben fella.

If he does turn out
to be the killer

we have to get to him
before he gets to Beattie.

LU: She didn't waste
much time, did she?

Talk about jumping
in someone 's grave.

Hi.

Ah, you're the Pls Mum
hired to debunk the curse.

Not going too well, is it?

I see the police have
finished, have they?

Yeah, all that's gone
missing is the petty cash

and the snow globe, of course.
- Snow globe?

Had a dance couple in it.

Toby bought it for her birthday.

Oh.
- The police think it's the murder weapon.

I haven't told Toby.

You don't keep any records, do you,
from when the school first opened

like uh, the founding
members' addresses or...?

No, sorry. Mum 's never
been very good with admin.

It's all about the
dancing for her.

But I'm determined to get stuck in now
and give this place a good overhaul.

Toby, you shouldn't be here,
I told you to stay home.

I don't want to be on my own.

LU: We 're really sorry
to hear about your mum.

Erm...

Did she mention someone
called Benedict Lovedon?

Benedict?

Have you spoken to my mum?

She never shuts up about him.

They uh... had a
past apparently.

Why are you looking for him?

Oh, we just need to
clarify a few things.

I never met the
man. Did you, Toby?

Don't think I ever did.

Well, look, if you happen
to come across anything

when you're sorting your mam 's stuff...
- I told Toby not to worry about that.

We 'Il sort it out
together. Won't we, Toby?

Thank you.
- Thanks.

[PHONE CHIMES]

It's gonna be fine, OK?

FRANK: Sebastian
sent us an address.

Oh, has he found Ben?
- No, but he ' s found Ben ' s sister.

Let's get over there,
see if she knows anything.

LU: Ten minutes, Frank!

It's supposed to take ten minutes
between the dance studios and here.

Not an hour and ten minutes.
[ FRANK STAMMERS]

Blame the satnav, don't blame
me. They're stupid these things.

Yeah, they're only stupid when
you put the wrong address in.

Look, I've got other things on my mind.
- Yeah, I did hear your tummy rumble.

No, as in what' s going on
between Toby and Olivia.

Yeah, I think she just felt sorry for
him. He did seem upset, didn't he?

[BELL RlNGS]

Do you think they're more
than just a dance couple?

Hard to tell.

[HE CHUCKLES] Think he 'd be scared to say no.

I don't know. She 's
a good-looking woman.

Takes two to tango.

I can't believe
I just said that.

[BELL RlNGS]

Better have a look.

LU: Hello?

FRANK: Hello?

Hello? Miss Lovedon?

Miss Lovedon?

[SHE GASPS ]Frank!

Frank, we need to get inside.
- What?

He 's alive.
- I ' Il call an ambulance.

Oh gosh.

Oh no, don't move.
Don't move. It's OK.

I... I'm OK, honestly.

I'm fine. I just forgot to take my meds.
- Oh.

I'm epileptic.

[HE SIGHS] I'm OK, really.

Please don't call an ambulance.

I've learnt over the years

when I need medical help
and right now I don't.

Thanks for helping me though.

Who exactly are you?

Shall I put your kettle on?

[KETTLE WHISTLES]

Murdered?

Oh, poor Tania.

Very sorry.

You've been a hard man to find, Mr Lovedon.
There 's no record of you anywhere.

I suppose you're right.

This is my sister
Ruby' s cottage.

I moved in here about nine
years ago to look after her.

Everything 's in her name.

She 's in hospital
at the moment.

She 'Il be devastated when
she finds out about Tania.

They knew each other then?

Yes.

They were really good friends.

She 's godmother
to Tania' s son.

I don't keep in touch with
anyone from the dance world.

When I got epilepsy
I left it all behind.

I mean, who would kill Tania?

Well, we ' re not sure yet.

But we wanna make sure our client,
Beattie Delamar, isn't next.

Is Beattie in danger?

If you don't mind me saying, Mr
Lovedon, you seem a little nervous.

Oh. Oh, it's nothing.

Nerve damage from an old fall.

They can't do anything with it.

Though they have
tried over the years.

What can you tell us
about the tontine?

[HE SIGHS] There 's
nothing to tell really.

Except we all seem to
be dropping like flies.

Mmm.

And the last one left
alive gets everything.

[BEN LAUGHS] Yes.

And now there 's only
you and Beattie left.

Oh, you don't think that...

I wouldn't do anything to
hurt my old dance friends.

Especially Beattie.

We used to be really close.

FRANK: Friends
can become enemies.

BEN: Not in my case,
I can assure you.

These roses that you've got out the
front, they're lovely, aren't they?

Oh, yes.

I'm on a quest to create the perfect rose.
[ SHE WHISPERS:] Snow globe!

He 's got the snow
globe. It's there!

This is my best one.

I leave the window open so
its scent fills the room.

Oh, look at that. Isn't
that lovely, Frank?

Oh yeah, it smells
really... [HE SNIFFS]

rosy.
- Rosy.

Mmm.
- BEN: It's unique.

There ' s nothing like
it anywhere in the world.

It's called the Beattie rose.

LU: OK, so thanks. Thanks
ever so much for your time.

BEN: Thank you.

I really do hope you
catch the killer.

Oh don't worry, we will.

Uh, DS Keeler? Frank Hathaway.

I think we've found something
that might interest you.

BEATTIE: An arrest?

Oh, thank goodness. I can't
tell you what a relief that is.

Who is it, do you know?

Uh, Benedict Lovedon.

Ben?

Yeah, don't worry. He can't
get to you. He ' s in custody.

We didn't exactly
catch him red-handed

but he had the murder weapon,
so it's quite incriminating.

No.

Sorry?

It isn't him.

He couldn't hurt anyone.

He 's the most gentle
person I ever met.

No. It's not him.

Look, I know it's hard for you
to take in but the police have...

The police are
wrong, Mr Hathaway.

They have made a
terrible mistake.

You have to help him.

You have to find
the real killer.

He had a motive, the
opportunity, and no alibi.

Plus he had the murder weapon.

Yeah, but the real murderer could have
planted that in his house to frame him.

[HE SIGHS]

Come on, for Beattie ' s sake we
have to entertain the possibility

that Ben is innocent.

Let's walk it through. Come on.

Right.

You said that Tania had a wound
to her left temple, right?

Left.

Right?

Come here.

This is your murder weapon.

Go for it.

[HE SCREAMS]

That was very good.
- Thank you.

[HE CLEARS HIS THROAT ]
But you used your right arm.

Mm?
- Ben had nerve damage to his right hand.

He could barely
lift a cup of tea.

OK, so he used his left arm.

[HE WAlLS]

Bit much.
- Yeah, sorry.

And the wound wasn't to the top of the
head, it was to the side, to the temple.

Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

So face it, Frank, we are looking
for a right-handed murderer.

And we just got an
innocent man arrested.

Yeah, but he still
had the murder weapon.

You once said to me that 90
percent of this job is instinct.

Can you honestly say that Ben
Lovedon is a cold-blooded murderer?

OK.

So, what do we know
about the tontine?

It's lethal to be in?

Four people dead in two months is not
the kind of club I would like to join.

Last person alive
gets everything.

Yeah, so if Ben was
out of the way...

LU: Beattie would
get everything

but she is definitely
not our killer.

Oh, I see. But Olivia could be.
- Uh, uh, uh, I beg to differ.

Children of tontine members can't
inherit their parent' s share.

It dies when they die.

But if Beattie was the
last one left alive

she could leave it all to her
devoted daughter in her will.

Yes, and Olivia would clean up.

And she would do cos
she 's ambitious.

Did you see how quickly she
moved into Tania' s office?

The woman was barely cold.

Oh, poor Toby, that must
have really upset him.

He didn't seem that bothered.

But they seemed close.

Ah, well, even if
they are a couple

that doesn't make them both killers.
- FRANK: True.

Look, we have to
protect Beattie.

That's not gonna be easy.

"Oh hi, Beattie, we think your
daughter' s trying to kill you."

I mean, we haven't even
got any proof of anything.

FRANK: Well, that only
leaves one question.

Who framed Ben?

And until we know that, we have
to make sure Beattie 's safe.

Could you stay with a
relative or maybe a friend?

You think I'm in
some kind of danger?

Oh, absolutely not.
- Nothing like that. I mean, just...

No.
- I suppose I could stay with Olivia?

LU: What? No...
- Need...

need...
[BOTH:] for that.

Cos she 's busy with school.
- And...

You're right.

I don't want to over burden her.

Maybe I could stay with
my sister in Norfolk.

Perfect.
- Yes.

Hi Mum, it's just me.
I've brought you some s...

Hello.
- LU: Oh, hi.

Erm, hi and bye actually
cos I think we ' re...

Aren't we?
- Yeah, it was just a brief visit

just to check your
mam was alright.

My mum ' s fine, aren't you Mum?

Well, Mr Hathaway thinks I
ought to leave for a while.

I... I thought they'd
arrested that guy, Ben.

Oh, it's nonsense. Ben hasn't hurt anyone.
- OLIVIA: Not this again. Mum, listen.

If the police think he 's
guilty, then he probably is.

He hasn't hurt anyone.

He couldn't.

You have to let go of
this stupid obsession.

What obsession?

You don't even realise, you
talk about him all the time.

Oh, when?

It's constant. Ben this, or
Ben that. It was years ago.

You need to stop all this
nonsense and forget him.

I was devoted to
your father, Olivia.

We had a happy marriage,
but he ' s dead now

and I can finally say this.

I loved Ben.

What? More than my dad?

Your dad was a lovely man.

But Ben was the one.

OK.

I think we 'Il make a move. Shall we?
- Thanks for your time.

LU: Yeah.
- My mum ' s not leaving.

I'm looking after
her, right here.

Great. Great.

OK.

Thank you, darling, you've
been really helpful.

FRANK: Thanks for letting us know.
- Bye. Bye.

That was Sebastian...
- News from the station...

[THEY LAUGH]

You first.
- Go on, you first.

Oh, OK. Uh...
- Oh, OK. Uh...

OK, so that was Sebastian.

He 's read the pathologist' s report
and Brian died of a heart attack

from the electric shock.

There were vast amounts
of alcohol in his blood.

So it was an accident after all.

That was my mate Vince,
works down the station.

Keeler's charging Ben
with Tania' s murder.

Oh, Frank.

Oh, this is a mess.

And it's all our fault.
- Yeah, and now Beattie ' s with Olivia.

You don't think Keeler believes

that Ben has got anything to do
with the other deaths, do you?

FRANK: He ' s got this theory
that Ben saw a chance to take over

the dance schools
when Brian died.

He thinks Ben went after Tania and
that Beattie was gonna be next.

I mean, she might well be, but
not for the reasons he thinks.

Listen, let's see how easy it
is to plant a murder weapon, OK?

I'm Olivia. First question.

Am I alone?

Erm... [SHE LAUGHS]

Uh well, I mean, if Toby
and her are together

then maybe he was
her accomplice.

Yeah, let's imagine he is, OK?

You be Toby.
- OK.

Right. Right. Oh.

[IN A POSH ACCENT:]
This is a snow globe.

There 's a pie in your murder weapon.
- FRANK: Oh.

Yeah. [HE LAUGHS]

I 'Il save that
for later. [HE LAUGHS]

Right.

Hmm.

[IN A POSH ACCENT:]
This is a snow globe.

OK.
- FRANK: Right.

I don't want to go into the property
because I might be seen so...

Oh, so maybe you get me to...
- FRANK: No. No.

You gotta do Toby.

[IN A DEEP VOICE: ]to me,
so I will knock at the door

and distract Ben.

Keep him talking.

I 'Il take advantage
of the open window.

LU: Yes. Chatting,
chatting to Ben.

Distracting him.

Fr... Frank!

No, be careful, look, you 're gonna damage the roses.

FRANK: Oh, yeah.

Somebody already has.

Who would do a thing like that?

FRANK: Well, it could be
anybody passing by, couldn't it?

Shame on them.
- FRANK: Yeah. Right, anyway.

[IN A POSH ACCENT:] I
plant the snow globe.

And then what?
- I don't know.

[HE SIGHS] I mean, I...

I suppose it proves
it can be done.

One of them ' s gonna have to
make a move sooner or later.

We still don't know if
Toby' s actually involved.

[HE SIGHS ]Stakeout time.

You got any snacks in the boot?

Mmm, probably have to stock up.

Yeah, let's do that.

Uh, I tell you what.

I ' Il slow race you back
to the car, last one wins.

Oh.

[FRANK SIGHS]

Agh, I give up.

Ha. Hey?

It's which dancer am I?

Nijinsky's not a dancer.
He 's a racehorse.

No, Nijinsky is a dancer. The
horse was named after him.

Ah, rubbish.
- Oh, you know nothing.

[HE GIRLS GIGGLE ROANS ] My go.

No, I'm having a pie break.
- What?

Oh, very good.

Imagine having something so
beautiful named after you.

Ben must really love Beattie
to go to all that trouble.

Yeah, very romantic.

Did you ever grow
anything for your wife?

Yeah, the odd carrot.
Leeks. Potatoes.

That's not romantic,
Frank. It's soup.

What' s wrong with that?
[ SHE SCOFFS]

[HE HUFFS] Look, if we don't
make a breakthrough soon

the only garden Ben 's
gonna see is a prison one.

I've been reading up
on roses, you know.

They're fascinating things.
- Yeah, fascinating.

Well, they are.

You know, they're one of the oldest
flowers on Earth and you can eat them.

Yeah, I ' Il stick with this.

And of course, they're the
ultimate symbol of love.

[HE GIRLS GIGGLE ROANS]

Ugh! [HE GIRLS GIGGLE ROANS]

TOBY: I'm not sure about this.
- OLIVIA: How many times? It' Il be fine.

TOBY: And your mum 's
definitely gonna be there?

Yeah, I've organised everything.

TOBY: What did you tell her?

OLIVIA: Stop panicking. Look.

Let me handle this.

You give her the flowers,
I 'Il just do the rest.

TOBY: Have you got the...
- Yeah, get in the car.

Come on, let's go!

Go and get them. Hey!

Ooh, ya...

Come on!

Go!
- Seatbelt!

What?
- Seatbelt.

[HE GIRLS GIGGLE RUNTS]

Oh.

We ' re gonna catch
them red-handed.

Seatbelt on. On!
- Yes. There.

On!

[LOUD BANG]

BEATTIE: Lovely.
- Oh!

What on earth are you doing?

Afternoon.
- Champagne!

[SHE LAUGHS]

Mr Hathaway, can
I... can I help you?

Well, we were just erm...

We were just passing, and
we thought we 'd erm...

Check in.
- That's it.

Check in.

You people are weird.

Well, why don't you join
us? We ' re celebrating.

Olivia and Toby are engaged.
- LU: Ah!

Wow! Engagement.

That's erm... That's really...

Well, I think that's probably
our checks done, isn't it?

Oh, definitely. Congratulations.
- Probably. Yeah.

Sorry.

Oh, wow.

Look at the flowers, Frank.

They are lovely.

They have such a lovely scent.

Mmm. Olivia bought them for me.
- LU: Did you?

Well, that's really
thoughtful of you.

Actually Toby gave them to me

but I know how much
you love your roses.

He did?

Did you hear that, Frank?
Isn't that nice of him?

Is it?
- Mmm.

Oh, yeah, cos roses are
amazing, aren't they?

Did you know that there are over
360 different varieties of roses

which means you could have a different
rose for every day of the year

give or take the
odd bank holiday.

And there ' s thousands
of hybrids too.

So interesting but we 'd really
appreciate some family time now

so thank you for
checking in on my mum.

And the interesting thing
about hybrids is that erm...

each one of them is unique.

Like a fingerprint.

And this one here, this is uh...

this is called the Beattie
rose, it' s named after you.

After me?
- LU: Mm.

BEATTIE: I don't understand.

Ben Lovedon grew them.

And the only place they exist

is in the garden of
his sister' s cottage.

Which means there 's only one place
you could have picked them from.

I don't know what...
- FRANK: You knew Ben was a suspect

when we came looking for him.

His sister Ruby and
your mum were friends.

Ruby's your godmother.

You knew where to find him.

[HE SIGHS]

You planted the murder
weapon in his house.

The murder weapon?

Oh, my God.
- Toby, what are they talking about?

I don't know, darling.

I don't know
anything about this.

LU: Did you do it, Toby?

Was it you that killed your mum?

Toby?

Oh, Toby, you didn't. Please,
please tell me you didn't.

BEATTIE: Oh, Toby. Why?

Mum hated the idea
of me leaving her.

I mean, the day she
found out about us

the way that she
spoke to you, I...

I wanted her to be happy for me.

For us.

I told her after class
that I wanted to marry you

and she was... raging.

[INDISTlNCT SHOUTl NG]

TOBY (VO): She started shouting
all these horrible things

calling you all sorts of names

and I lost it.
- Stop it now!

You can't even dance!

TOBY (VO): I grabbed something
and before I knew it, I...

[TOBY YELLS]

[HE PANTS]

I 'd hit her.

[HE SCREAMS]

TOBY (VO): I knew that
she was dead straightaway.

I panicked.

I thought if I...

if I made it look like the place
had... had been ransacked...

I wanted to stand up for myself.

Just for once.

I've ruined
everything, haven't I?

Oh, forgive me.

OLIVIA: I thought I knew him.

I didn't know anything.

BEATTIE: Poor Tania.
She adored him.

So did I. Oh, Mum.

Oh, come here, love.

[OLIVIA SOBS] He ruined
our whole future

in one stupid angry minute.

We 're all capable of
throwing our happiness away.

Come on, let's get you inside.

There we go.

The curse of the
dance school solved.

Oh, DS Keeler.

Or should I say Ol ' Snake Hips.
[THEY LAUGH]

Sebastian told us about your secret dancing.
- Don't start.

Oh, give us a demo.
Show us your Charleston.

I 'Il show you the
inside of a cell

in a minute.
[ BOTH:] Oooooh!

I suppose you're off to
release Ben, are you?

Yeah, thanks a lot
for that tip-off.

Really led us up the
garden path, didn't you?

One, two.
[BOTH:] Cha, cha, cha.

[LU LAUGHS]

Three, four.
[BOTH:] Cha, cha, cha.

[THEY GIRLS GIGGLE IGGLE]

Come on, fancy a pint?

We haven't got time for that. We
have got some unfinished business.

Right. Like what?

Ready?
- LU: Hey!

[FRANK LAUGHS]

Oh, wait. Wait.

Is my tie straight?

This suit doesn't
look too old, does it?

You look lovely. Doesn't he Frank?
- Yeah, smart as a carrot.

Are you sure?
- Yeah.

[LU GASPS ]Don't forget this.

The Beattie.

Ready, hey? [HE CHUCKLES]

Erm, this is for... for you.

It's lovely.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit nervous.

Me too. [SHE GIRLS
GIGGLE IGGLES]

I haven't done this for so long.
- BEATTIE: Oh, it's fine.

I wish I could hear
what they were saying.

It's private.

[MUSIC: "Quickstep
Boogie" by David Arch]

Are you enjoying this?

No, I'm not.

You old romantic.

SEBASTIAN: Salud.
- FRANK: Cheers.

Ooh.
- Ugh.

Ergh.
- Well, I could have watched

those two dance all day.
- Ooh, me too.

Still, they weren't a
patch on us, were they?

It goes without saying.

[MUSIC: "Just Latin Enough" by
Louis Perez and Sebastien Marchini]

Madam, may I have the pleasure?

[SHE GIRLS GIGGLE IGGLESI]
thought you 'd never ask.

Hey! Not in public.

Oh come on, Frank.

No.

SEBASTIAN: You might enjoy yourself.
- I won't.

[BOTH: ]Cha, cha, cha.

LU: Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha.

SEBASTIAN: Two, three.
[ BOTH:] Cha, cha, cha.

Two, three, cha, cha, cha.
- LU: Ooh, and the twirl!

SEBASTIAN: Two,
three, cha, cha, cha.

FRANK: Excuse me, sir.

Frank, I didn't think you could.

Ooh!
- Ah!

[SHE LAUGHS ] Middlesbrough
Latin Champion, under tens.

[SHE GASPS]

Oh!

Ooh!

Ooh! Frank!
- Woo!

LU: Ooh!

Cha, cha, cha.
