0:00:03 > 0:00:05Why do you think it's a bomb?

0:00:05 > 0:00:09I didn't say it was a bomb, MacDuff. I said it was a suspicious package.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Well, call the bomb squad. That's what they do. They defuse bombs.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14If it's a bomb, we should call the bomb squad.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16I think it may have been the local bomb squad who sent it to me.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Accidentally kill a man's wife and there's a 30% chance he'll be forever grateful.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Accidentally combust a man's sniffer dog and he'll never forgive you.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24PHONE RINGS

0:00:27 > 0:00:29You'd like me to get that, would you?

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hello?

0:00:34 > 0:00:38It's Mr Edwards. He says he thinks someone's trying to kill him.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Tell Mr Edwards we'll be with him shortly.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45He says you said we'd be with him shortly over 24 hours ago.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Tell him this time I mean it.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Mr Edwards... Yes, no. I... Mm-hm. Yes.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56No, it's just we think someone might be trying to kill us as well.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59We will be with you as soon as we can, OK?

0:01:05 > 0:01:08What is it?

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Why is someone sending you a Valentine's card in April?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43The question is, who is sending me a Valentine's Day card in April,

0:01:43 > 0:01:46and what are the series of interconnected events that have led

0:01:46 > 0:01:50this woman to fall completely and hopelessly in love with me?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Let's go.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26Hello?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Mr Edwards?

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Mr Edwards!

0:02:36 > 0:02:39What if someone really was trying to kill him?

0:02:39 > 0:02:40Mr Edwards!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42He seemed pretty convinced.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Impossible.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45How can you be so sure?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47The circumstances of my first meeting him

0:02:47 > 0:02:50lead me to believe that he is a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Are you following me?- Yes.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57I explained to Mr Edwards that I was using a technique known as Zen navigation.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01There's a school of thought that says when hopelessly lost, you should consult a map.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06My own strategy is to find someone who looks like they know where they're going and follow them.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10I rarely end up where I was intending to go but I often end up somewhere I needed to be.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Wow, that's bollocks.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15It clearly works, MacDuff.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18The perilous state of our company's finances suggested that

0:03:18 > 0:03:19we were in dire need of a client,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22while Mr Edwards was in dire need of a private detective.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26He hired us, believing the Pentagon have him under surveillance.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Why would they have him under surveillance?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31They are the default setting of all conspiracy theorists.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33It is a case of the grown man who cried "Pentagon".

0:03:33 > 0:03:36It seems his paranoia has now escalated into the deluded belief

0:03:36 > 0:03:38that somebody is trying to kill him,

0:03:38 > 0:03:41when, in fact, he has less chance of being murdered than you or I.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Oh, Jesus.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Oh, I feel sick.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Something's wrong.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Of course something's wrong, Dirk. He's dead.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Someone really was trying to kill him.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59What if he really was under surveillance?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01What if the Pentagon murdered him?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Tortured him and then murdered him?

0:04:03 > 0:04:07In my experience, the people who believe they are going to be murdered by the Pentagon,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10are invariably NOT the people who get murdered by the Pentagon.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13He really was a conspiracy theorist.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20I'm a bit freaked out. Are you freaking out?

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Robbing a dead man. That is cheap, even for you.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30If the police find my business card in his wallet,

0:04:30 > 0:04:32they will no doubt hold me for questioning.

0:04:32 > 0:04:38Solving this case while languishing in a police cell is beyond even my investigative abilities.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Of course, there is the small matter of some unpaid expenses.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50When the police are finished with their fingerprint powder, forensics, and general bungling,

0:04:50 > 0:04:54our investigation into the interconnected web of events

0:04:54 > 0:04:56surrounding Mr Edwards' murder can begin in earnest.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Until then, we must flee the scene. Very quickly.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29WOMAN: Wait!

0:05:29 > 0:05:31ALARM BEEPS

0:05:31 > 0:05:35He might be useful to us. If he's not, then we'll kill him.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37ALARM BEEPS

0:06:39 > 0:06:43MacDuff!

0:06:43 > 0:06:45MACDUFF!

0:06:45 > 0:06:48After three days, it seems the police are finally finished

0:06:48 > 0:06:50with their fingerprint powder, forensics and general bungling.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52We are back on the case.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55In case you'd forgotten, Dirk, our client is dead,

0:06:55 > 0:06:57the agency is broke.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59We are trying to run a business.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01At least I am.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Who's paying us to investigate this case?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05The substantial reward offered for the apprehension of the killer

0:07:05 > 0:07:08will offer more than adequate compensation for our time.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11It's not just about the reward, though, is it?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13You can't bear to be wrong.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Princess is feeling a little delicate this morning.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21We must coax her back into life.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Hello.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Mrs Edwards, I presume.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06My name is Dirk Gently.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Your husband hired me. This is Richard MacDuff, my assistant.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Partner, and co-owner of the company. HE MOUTHS

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Why did he throw a flowerpot through my door?

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Because I'm investigating your husband's murder, and there's no time to spare

0:08:22 > 0:08:25in our quest to learn the truth and identify the killer.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30Perhaps we can continue this conversation over a nice cup of tea.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36I'm very sorry about your husband.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41I can't actually believe he's dead.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47I keep expecting him to walk through the door.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Thank you.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58The police seem to have moved everything around.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02In my experience, the police have very little respect for other people's property.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Did you know that your husband believed that the Pentagon

0:09:05 > 0:09:07had him under surveillance?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Do you think it had something to do with his work?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11By his work, you mean specifically...?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13The computer software he was developing.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I am almost certain that you are absolutely right.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19HE MOUTHS

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Tea. Excellent. Thank you.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32- The police seem to be getting nowhere.- Unfortunately, that is to be expected.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Did my husband trust you, Mr Gently?

0:09:35 > 0:09:37With his life.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Would you be prepared to continue your investigation?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43What was my husband paying you?

0:09:43 > 0:09:48Fi...six, seven, seven £700 per day, plus all reasonable expenses.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Rest assured, Mrs Edwards, the web of interconnected events

0:09:52 > 0:09:55will undoubtedly lead us to your husband's killer.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57David was a very paranoid man.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Wherever the software prototype is, he would have hidden it well.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04If you can find it, we might discover why he was murdered.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08- We are of the same mind.- Me too. I think it's...- Thank you, MacDuff.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10I don't want to be seen to be undermining the police.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Can you be discreet, Mr Gently?

0:10:13 > 0:10:15I stake my reputation on it.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18In fact, I have been known to be so discreet that

0:10:18 > 0:10:21even my clients doubt I'm working on their case.

0:10:25 > 0:10:31Think it's possible for us to visit a crime scene without you treating it like a one-man buffet?

0:10:31 > 0:10:37I believe Mr Edwards' days of requiring a mint to suck on are well and truly behind him.

0:10:45 > 0:10:50I'm convinced the answer to the case lies somewhere on the wall.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55As ever, we are to trust in chance, randomness and chaos to solve the case.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Wherever the dart lands in this wall,

0:10:57 > 0:11:00will form the starting point of our investigation.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06It sometimes takes several attempts to achieve total randomness.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08The accounts are a mess.

0:11:08 > 0:11:13That would explain why Mr Edwards' cheque bounced like a proverbial rubber ball on a trampoline.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Why would anyone want to invade Switzerland?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18You'd need a pretty good reason.

0:11:39 > 0:11:44- This isn't the work of a mad conspiracy theorist.- Isn't it?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47It's the basis of the computer software Mr Edwards was working on.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49It's genius.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54- Is it?- Most computer programs help you arrive at decisions by ordering

0:11:54 > 0:11:56and analysing all the relevant facts

0:11:56 > 0:11:59so that they then point naturally towards the right decision.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03But what if the decision which all the relevant properly organised

0:12:03 > 0:12:07and analysed facts point to is not necessarily the one you want?

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Then the one you want's probably wrong.

0:12:09 > 0:12:14Since when did anyone care whether a decision was right or wrong?

0:12:14 > 0:12:19Mr Edwards knew that so he developed a piece of software that allowed you

0:12:19 > 0:12:23to specify in advance the decision you wish to reach

0:12:23 > 0:12:27The program's task was then to construct an irrefutable set of

0:12:27 > 0:12:31logical-sounding steps to link the premise with the conclusion.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33It justifies the unjustifiable.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Don't you see, MacDuff?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38If this software were to fall into the wrong hands,

0:12:38 > 0:12:41then no people or nation would be safe from tyranny.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Not even the Swiss!

0:12:45 > 0:12:48The very existence of the free world is at stake.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50From a computer program?

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Come on, Dirk, that's a stretch, even for you.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57The software that came up with the WMD justification has been totally discredited.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59That was a computer program?

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Of course it was! What world are you living in, MacDuff?

0:13:02 > 0:13:03A different one to you, obviously.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06The Pentagon are clearly looking to upgrade their software.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Renew subscription to Playboy, send software prototype,

0:13:10 > 0:13:17So your plan to save the free world relies on the murderer shading a notepad?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20There is no doubt the murderer will return looking for the software.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23All they will find on Mr Edwards' desk...

0:13:29 > 0:13:31..is this notepad.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34When faced with a blank piece of paper, the only option left to them will be to shade it.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37And then they'll come looking for you, and me.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Isn't that dangerous?

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Whether we like it or not,

0:13:40 > 0:13:44we are now part of the web of interconnected events that surround this case.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47We must provoke a reaction from the other elements.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49The bait has been set, MacDuff.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05I think we're being followed.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Really?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Don't look.- I'm not looking.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16They're still there.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Do you think it's the Pentagon?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I think...it might be.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30They're still there, Dirk.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31Just relax.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- I am relaxed.- Relax more.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40We're nearly there. Just act calm.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Just see if they stop when we stop.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47They're coming for us. This sort of thing doesn't happen, does it?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49It is imperative that they don't know that we

0:14:49 > 0:14:51know that they're following us.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53We must maintain the element of surprise.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Oh, God, it's happening. It's really happening.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03Go, go, go, go.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- What about Janice? - She'll be all right.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm looking for Dirk Gently.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28There's a woman here to see you.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29Then show her in.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32- What are you doing? - You show her in!

0:15:32 > 0:15:35How can I show her in when I'm already in myself?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Perhaps it would be best if I showed myself in?

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Were you following us?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52She wasn't following us, just going to the same place at the same time,

0:15:52 > 0:15:55which, in itself, is profoundly relevant. Dirk. Dirk Gently.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Emma Reynolds.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Richard MacDuff, partner.- Assistant.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02You must tell us what brought you here.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05The very existence of the free world is at stake.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10I think my husband's having an affair.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Oh, boring...

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Please.

0:16:24 > 0:16:29OK, um, what makes you think your husband is having an affair?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, he's been behaving so strangely.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37He's irrational and impulsive.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40He stays away for hours and then

0:16:40 > 0:16:42he's all secretive about where he's been,

0:16:42 > 0:16:45or he says he doesn't remember.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49- I just want to be sure.- Yeah.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I need proof.- Yeah.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Um, well, we'd, we'd, we'd love to help, obviously,

0:16:55 > 0:16:58wouldn't we, Dirk?

0:16:58 > 0:17:03Er, but we are, we're in the middle of a very big case at the moment,

0:17:03 > 0:17:07a murder. It could have international implications.

0:17:07 > 0:17:13It's big, it's, um, well, it's potentially huge, so...

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Er, oh.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16OK.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Oh...

0:17:21 > 0:17:23We used to be so happy.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27He's changed.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33There must be some reason.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37I'll take the case.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41What? I'm... Well, what about the free world, the other case?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44I believe that Mr Reynolds' extramarital activities are part of

0:17:44 > 0:17:48an interconnected web of events that we must come to understand in its entirety

0:17:48 > 0:17:50if we are to identify Mr Edwards' killer.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Thank you.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Quick settlement of my invoice will be all the thanks I need.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59We also need a recent photograph of your husband before we commence

0:17:59 > 0:18:02what I can assure you will be a most intrusive surveillance.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15The police don't seem to have any idea who killed Mr Edwards.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17That's because they're looking in all the wrong places.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22- We should be investigating his murder.- We ARE investigating Mr Edwards' murder,

0:18:22 > 0:18:24but we are doing so tangentially.

0:18:24 > 0:18:25SCOOTER BEEPS

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Ooh! Our pizza.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Excellent.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32What's the time?

0:18:32 > 0:18:34What time do you make? What time do you have?

0:18:34 > 0:18:37What time do you make it at the moment? What time is it now?

0:18:37 > 0:18:41- It's a different address. - Look, it says here...

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Can you read that?

0:18:42 > 0:18:46That's my pizza. I should have that pizza.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Their promotional material clearly states that if the pizza

0:18:56 > 0:18:59isn't delivered within the hour, then it is free.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Probably doesn't count when you give them the wrong address.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08MacDuff, that's him! That's Mr Reynolds.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Right, I'll take the philandering soon-to-be-divorced husband,

0:19:16 > 0:19:19you take the attractive woman of Mediterranean origin.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- She's on a bike. - Then you will need to run.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Do you need a lift?- Huh?

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Where are you going? - Um, where are you going?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Islington.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42What an amazing coincidence!

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- I can smell pizza.- Oh, that's me. You have a keen sense of smell.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50It's very good of you to give me a lift like this.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's my horoscope. It predicted that today I would help a stranger,

0:19:53 > 0:19:55and, well, here we are.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57You think our meeting like this can be explained by your horoscope?

0:19:57 > 0:20:01Well, how else would you explain it? It's him. Terence Brown.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05He's amazing. His horoscopes are so accurate.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07It's coming true every day.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10It was just little things to start with. Now it's everything.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13It's like it's taking over my life.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16You're suggesting that the movements of planets, billions of light years away,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19are somehow determining your actions? You realise that's completely impossible?

0:20:19 > 0:20:22I didn't believe it either to start with.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25But, er, it's really happening.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28I was a happily married man.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33About a month ago, my horoscope predicted that a new romantic

0:20:33 > 0:20:35possibility would present itself.

0:20:35 > 0:20:40That's when I met, um...

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Maria. She was struggling with her shopping.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45She'd hurt her ankle while performing a routine.

0:20:45 > 0:20:50- She's a pole dancer.- Pole dancer.

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Why are you making notes?

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Oh, it's, it's, it's professional habit.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58- You're a private detective?- Mm.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Perhaps I can be of some service to you?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Mr Reynolds hired you?

0:21:15 > 0:21:18So now we're charging two clients to investigate the same case?

0:21:18 > 0:21:21That has to go against our code of conduct.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Do we have a code of conduct?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Of course, we don't. It's you.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27They're clearly not the same case.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Ms Reynolds asked us to find out whether her husband is cheating.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Mr Reynolds asked us to find out why his horoscope is seemingly coming true.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35The two cases are undoubtedly connected,

0:21:35 > 0:21:38but they are not the same case,

0:21:38 > 0:21:42as is clearly demonstrated by the fact that they have separate files,

0:21:42 > 0:21:46and they are both inextricably linked to Mr Edwards,

0:21:46 > 0:21:50as clearly demonstrated by the fact they

0:21:50 > 0:21:52reside in the same filing cabinet

0:21:52 > 0:21:54So what's the connection?

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Is there some sort of professional link? Is there a personal connection?

0:21:58 > 0:22:03- What does Mr Reynolds do for a living?- I don't know.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05If the connections were that simple,

0:22:05 > 0:22:08- any idiot could set themselves up as a holistic detective.- Oh, really?

0:22:10 > 0:22:15Conspiracy theories and horoscopes are all a product

0:22:15 > 0:22:18the same ill-conceived desire to impose order on the world.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20What their proponents fail to understand is that we must

0:22:20 > 0:22:24embrace chaos if we are to come to an understanding of the world

0:22:24 > 0:22:26in all its complexity.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28There's some men here!

0:22:28 > 0:22:30That'll be for me.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Hi, guys, come on in.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Will that be all right?

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Thanks, guys.- Cheers, mate.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59What the hell is that?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- I'm your partner.- Assistant.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05I need somewhere to work.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Well, now that you're comfortable, MacDuff,

0:23:12 > 0:23:15perhaps you would care to keep an eye out for Mr Edwards' murderer

0:23:15 > 0:23:22who's probably shaded the notepad by now and may well be stopping by at any moment.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34I can't see anyone.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38I suspect they'll wait until it's dark.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40It is dark.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Then I suspect they'll be paying us a visit at any minute.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Did you know you can tell a lot about a person by their handwriting?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Observe the wild loops and the extravagant down strokes.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Let me guess. It means they're completely insane.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56You may well be right.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Where are you going? - I'm going to get us a pizza.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05We're expecting a murderer to drop by any second.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- You're perfectly safe, MacDuff. - No, I'm not.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10The bait has been set.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13I'm not going to stand here alone, in the trap, while you get a pizza!

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Whoever the killer is, won't kill us until they've got the software.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18As we haven't got it, they're never going to kill us.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22We're more in danger of starving to death.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23DOOR CLOSES

0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Ow!- What the hell are you doing, MacDuff? You nearly made me drop my pizza!

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Someone attacked me. - That was me you idiot!

0:26:08 > 0:26:10No, before that. Someone else attacked me.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Then whoever it is has fallen straight into the middle

0:26:15 > 0:26:17of my carefully prepared trap.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21No, don't worry about me. I'm fine.

0:26:21 > 0:26:26Anticipating that the murderer would wish to ransack our office

0:26:26 > 0:26:31in search of the software, I had the foresight to install surveillance.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Dim the lights, MacDuff.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46The identity of Mr Edwards' murderer will soon be revealed.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Where are you going? - I'm going to get us a pizza.

0:26:51 > 0:26:52We're expecting a murderer any second.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06I was just killing some time.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Dirk?

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Right, if you'd told me there was a camera there,

0:27:38 > 0:27:40that would never have happened.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44You see, this is why you need to start treating me like a partner.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Are you happy now, MacDuff? Are you?

0:28:03 > 0:28:05You stabbed my chair.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10You stabbed my...

0:28:14 > 0:28:16- What is it?- Shh!

0:28:18 > 0:28:20What is that?

0:28:27 > 0:28:30It appears your chair was bugged, MacDuff.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Oh, Jesus.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Oh, Jesus. The Pentagon bugged my chair. They know everything.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44They attacked me.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Dirk...

0:28:49 > 0:28:51..what if they know where I live?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55I'll call Susan.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Susan, it's Richard. Listen, I need you to...

0:28:58 > 0:29:00No, just go to a friend's house.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01Don't... I can't ex...

0:29:01 > 0:29:03No, just go, please, just go to a friend's house!

0:29:05 > 0:29:07She's going to go to a friend's house.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11If the Pentagon bugged your chair, then they will have heard me

0:29:11 > 0:29:14say that we are not in fact in possession of the software.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18Therefore, they would have no need to assault you and ransack the office.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Well, then who attacked me? Someone attacked me.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21Right before you did, I mean.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25It appears we've provoked several reactions from other elements in the web,

0:29:25 > 0:29:29and we must now try and understand the connections between them.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Ms Reynolds. - Sorry. I've been calling all day,

0:29:33 > 0:29:37but I keep getting stuck in some sort of automated answering service.

0:29:37 > 0:29:40Yes, yes. It can be rather stubborn. Please, take a seat.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42I had to find out if you've made any progress with the investigation.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Well, it appears the case is more complex than we initially thought.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48- What do you mean? - Your husband believes his horoscope is coming true.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50As this is impossible, something else is afoot,

0:29:50 > 0:29:52and by following the web of interconnected events,

0:29:52 > 0:29:55I feel confident that we will discover what it is.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57But is he having an affair?

0:29:57 > 0:30:01Oh, yes, he's having an affair with a rather attractive woman of Mediterranean origin.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03She has lovely skin.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05SHE GASPS

0:30:05 > 0:30:08SHE BEGINS TO WEEP

0:30:08 > 0:30:12CRYING

0:30:16 > 0:30:19HE MOUTHS

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Right, I'll just get my assistant to make you a cup of tea.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45Mr Gently, I have to talk to you. It's my horoscope.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47It says that "a dark secret will be exposed."

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Now, I think that my wife knows...

0:30:51 > 0:30:53Emma, why are you here?

0:30:53 > 0:30:56I hired Mr Gently.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58- Why are you here?- I hired Mr Gently.

0:30:58 > 0:31:03Can I just say right here, we are treating these as two very distinct cases.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Separate files.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09You're having an affair.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12No, it's not what you think. It's not me. It's my horoscope.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15- It's Jupiter rising.- Why?

0:31:19 > 0:31:20Emma, it's not me!

0:31:23 > 0:31:26- It's what my horoscope predicted. - What does it say?

0:31:26 > 0:31:28- "Life will deliver a slap in the face."- Now do you believe me?

0:31:28 > 0:31:32Absolutely not. In the morning, after a good night's sleep, and a hearty breakfast,

0:31:32 > 0:31:35and after I have evaded the Pentagon surveillance,

0:31:35 > 0:31:38I will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that these events

0:31:38 > 0:31:42have nothing to do with Jupiter, or any other planet, rising.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

0:32:04 > 0:32:07- What have you done to your leg? - There is nothing wrong with my leg, MacDuff.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11I took three tubes and four different buses on the way here, hopping on and off all the way.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13I don't think I was followed. Did you see anyone?

0:32:13 > 0:32:16No, but that doesn't mean we aren't being watched.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Why are we here?

0:32:18 > 0:32:20How is this getting us any closer to Mr Edwards' killer?

0:32:20 > 0:32:24Well, that's the beauty of holistic detection, MacDuff.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28We're getting closer, even when it appears we are moving further away.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Mr Brown will see you now. You can go up.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Please take a seat.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50- I prefer to stand.- Right.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56So, what can I do for you, Mr Gently?

0:32:56 > 0:32:59I'm led to believe that you specialise in providing

0:32:59 > 0:33:01personalised horoscopes.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05Yes, we e-mail them to over two million people worldwide.

0:33:05 > 0:33:10Our client has come to believe that the predictions

0:33:10 > 0:33:13made in his horoscope are coming true.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19You sound surprised.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23Well, a scientific mind such as mine can never accept that

0:33:23 > 0:33:27the movements of planets billions of light years away

0:33:27 > 0:33:31are in any way responsible for determining our behaviour.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- I'm not sure what it is you're telling me.- Don't look at me.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50I presume these horoscopes are generated by some kind of

0:33:50 > 0:33:52computer program stored on a server.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Correct.- Mm.

0:33:56 > 0:34:01Well, then it would appear that this software

0:34:01 > 0:34:04is responsible for my client's distress.

0:34:04 > 0:34:09You think our computer software is somehow victimising your client?

0:34:09 > 0:34:11It would appear so, yes.

0:34:11 > 0:34:12PHONE RINGS

0:34:12 > 0:34:15I believe that's your phone ringing.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18Hello. What?

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Jesus, how bad is it?

0:34:21 > 0:34:24No, call a plumber. I'll be right there.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28A pipe's burst in my flat. The whole place is flooded.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30I'm sorry, I really have to go.

0:34:33 > 0:34:38I'm surprised that your horoscope wasn't able to predict such an unfortunate calamity.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43Has anyone ever told you you're an annoying prick?

0:34:43 > 0:34:45Yeah, he gets that a lot.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really have to go.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52No problem. A burst pipe waits for no man.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54We'll show ourselves out.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Oh, God.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Please tell me you're not going to urinate on that man's computer server.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Don't be ridiculous, MacDuff. - Oh, silly me, you've simply got a sledgehammer down your pants.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16Unlike our good friend the astrologer, I was able to predict

0:35:16 > 0:35:19that his flat was to be the subject of a most unfortunate act of God.

0:35:19 > 0:35:20Hello.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22I'm from the water company.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37- That should do it.- Do what exactly?

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Dirk, you're going to get us arrested.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43We're conducting a scientific experiment to categorically prove

0:35:43 > 0:35:47that our client's horoscope is not in fact predicting the events in his life.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08I think we're being followed.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Right, are we really being followed,

0:36:10 > 0:36:12or is it just someone going to the same place at the same time?

0:36:12 > 0:36:16- I think we're really being followed. - How can you tell?- They're flashing their lights at us.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Well, what do they want?- I have no intention of stopping to find out.

0:36:20 > 0:36:21Come on, you beautiful bitch!

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Jesus!

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- They're coming for us!- Get down! - Back up! Put it in reverse!

0:36:31 > 0:36:33I'm can't! It's disappeared!

0:36:33 > 0:36:36- What do you mean it's disappeared? - It was here earlier.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Well, where is it now?- I don't know. - Just let me do it.- No!

0:36:39 > 0:36:40- Find it!- I'm trying!

0:36:46 > 0:36:51Ah, Detective Inspector Gilks. What a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

0:36:51 > 0:36:56It has come to my attention that you may be withholding a key piece of evidence...

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Not withholding anything. There's not been any withholding.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02..in relation to the murder of a one Mr Edwards.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05May I ask what has led you to draw such an erroneous conclusion?

0:37:05 > 0:37:09Well, it appears Mr Edwards wrote a to-do list shortly before he died.

0:37:09 > 0:37:15"Pick up dry cleaning, renew subscription to Playboy,

0:37:15 > 0:37:18"send software prototype to Dirk Gently".

0:37:18 > 0:37:19Now, how is that for erroneous?

0:37:19 > 0:37:23I see. Well, as I've not received any prototype, I can only assume

0:37:23 > 0:37:26it's languishing in the black hole that passes for my local sorting office.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Who are you working for, Gently? - I'm not at liberty to divulge that information.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33There is no greater bond of trust than that between a detective and his client.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Arrest him. - I'm working for Mrs Edwards.

0:37:36 > 0:37:37- Ow!- Really?

0:37:37 > 0:37:41Mrs Edwards, as in the wife of Mr Edwards?

0:37:41 > 0:37:42Yeah, the very same.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44That really is remarkable...

0:37:44 > 0:37:45Thank you.

0:37:45 > 0:37:50..considering that Mrs Edwards was killed in a car accident in September of last year.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Mrs Edwards, as in the wife of Mr Edwards?

0:37:53 > 0:37:56- The very same. - Well, that is remarkable.

0:37:57 > 0:38:01I put my hands up. You've caught me out in an outrageous lie. There is no client.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05I'm merely interested in collecting the reward offered for the apprehension of Mr Edwards' killer.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09That's obviously another lie. Well, I have no intention of arresting you.

0:38:09 > 0:38:14- Very wise.- Your incompetent meddling is more than likely to get you killed,

0:38:14 > 0:38:17and then I shall undoubtedly have some new leads to pursue.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22You are my tethered goat, Gently.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Why did we assume she was Mrs Edwards?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Well, when I startle a woman tidying her kitchen cupboards by throwing a large

0:38:37 > 0:38:41concrete flowerpot through her back door, I feel it's safe to assume she's the lady of the house.

0:38:41 > 0:38:45She was searching them, not tidying. That's why she didn't know where the tea was.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Then it's probably safe to assume she in fact works for the Pentagon

0:38:48 > 0:38:50and was looking for the software prototype.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53There is only one way to be sure.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Mrs Edwards? Dirk Gently.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04There's been a significant breakthrough in the investigation.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06Perhaps we could meet.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16You know, we're probably going to end up being water-boarded.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20If they do torture us, I'm going to talk, and I'm going to tell them this is all down to you.

0:39:20 > 0:39:24Perhaps you'd like to cower in the Princess like a startled sparrow?

0:39:26 > 0:39:31Mrs Edwards, I must say you look remarkably well,

0:39:31 > 0:39:33for a dead woman.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50She must have thought I was being incredibly sarcastic.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51DOOR SLAMS

0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Where's the front door?- What?

0:40:03 > 0:40:05The front door. We've got to get out of here.

0:40:05 > 0:40:09- I thought we were looking for the killer.- No, we're running away from the killer.

0:40:09 > 0:40:14- Are we chasing the killer, or is the killer chasing us? - Why would we chase the killer?

0:40:26 > 0:40:30We have to go to the police and tell them the woman pretending to be Mrs Edwards has been murdered.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33You think the police will protect us? You heard Gilks. I'm his tethered goat.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36I don't want to be a tethered goat, Dirk. Tethered goats die, horribly.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40Well, we only appear to be tethered, when, in fact, the noose has slipped from our necks,

0:40:40 > 0:40:43and we're about to spring into action.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47No. No, we go to the police. We go to the police and we come clean. We tell them everything.

0:40:47 > 0:40:54We don't tell them about you robbing Mr Edwards after he'd been murdered. That bit they don't need to know.

0:40:54 > 0:40:55We're not going to the police, are we?

0:40:55 > 0:40:58No, we're following that white car.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02Of course we're following that white car. In an emergency, follow a white car.

0:41:02 > 0:41:03Why are we following a white car?

0:41:03 > 0:41:06Because it looks like it knows where it's going. Zen navigation.

0:41:06 > 0:41:11The goats are un-tethered and travelling in some style!

0:41:24 > 0:41:28So this Zen navigation of yours has led us to the pub.

0:41:28 > 0:41:33I believe it will transpire that this is exactly where we needed to be.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36I think the guy we followed knows we're following him.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38Then I imagine he's rather paranoid.

0:41:41 > 0:41:42Who are you calling?

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Our astrology experiment should have worked by now.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Ah, Mr Reynolds. Dirk Gently.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50I was wondering if you'd care to join myself and my assistant for a drink.

0:41:50 > 0:41:54What exactly is this horoscope experiment going to prove anyway?

0:41:54 > 0:41:57If Mr Reynolds walks through that door, as I expect him to do at any moment,

0:41:57 > 0:41:59wearing some extravagant head gear

0:41:59 > 0:42:02and talking of an encounter with a rhinoceros,

0:42:02 > 0:42:06then I will have proven that the connections between events are inevitable

0:42:06 > 0:42:08and, more often than not, accidental,

0:42:08 > 0:42:12and are in no way predetermined by the movement of planets billions of light years away.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Mr Reynolds, how good of you to join us,

0:42:20 > 0:42:22and I see you've brought a friend.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25Yeah, my horoscope said I'd encounter a rhinoceros.

0:42:25 > 0:42:29Walking along the street, someone throws him out of a window onto a skip.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32I can assure you that your horoscope predicted no such thing.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34Read it. It says it right here.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37I do not doubt what it says, but that is not your horoscope,

0:42:37 > 0:42:40on account of the computer server that sends out the horoscopes

0:42:40 > 0:42:43having met with a most unfortunate accident earlier in the day.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46What you have in your hand is merely an e-mail that I sent you,

0:42:46 > 0:42:48purporting to be your horoscope.

0:42:48 > 0:42:52If I'd suggested you had an encounter with a cast-iron bath, and you were strong enough,

0:42:52 > 0:42:56- you'd now be carrying that around with you.- There was a cast-iron bath in the skip.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58There always is.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Your horoscope was never coming true.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02When you started to believe it was,

0:43:02 > 0:43:05it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

0:43:11 > 0:43:15I found it in the back of the taxi on the way here.

0:43:15 > 0:43:20I can't even remember when I started to believe that my horoscope was coming true.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22What's happening to me?

0:43:22 > 0:43:25Emma! My marriage is over.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28Your life has been restored to its natural, chaotic state.

0:43:28 > 0:43:29Oh, Jesus.

0:43:29 > 0:43:30That's my invoice.

0:43:36 > 0:43:42The more pressing question is how this development relates to Mr Edwards' murder.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53There's been an interesting development, MacDuff.

0:43:53 > 0:43:57Someone has sent me another Valentine's Day card.

0:43:57 > 0:44:01Well, if I'd known it was this important, I'd have got here a lot sooner.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03The Valentine's Day card was delivered by hand.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06We will soon discover who has been sending them, and this time,

0:44:06 > 0:44:09I've made certain that your chair will not sabotage me.

0:44:09 > 0:44:11You've sawn off the back my chair?

0:44:11 > 0:44:14You cannot deny that it didn't have it coming, MacDuff.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17Why are you obsessing over Valentine's Day cards

0:44:17 > 0:44:19and stuffed fluffy pigs, Dirk?

0:44:19 > 0:44:20Our lives are in danger.

0:44:20 > 0:44:24I've already told you, MacDuff. Since we are not, in fact, in possession of

0:44:24 > 0:44:29the computer software that the murderer is seeking, we are perfectly safe.

0:44:45 > 0:44:48- MacDuff?- What?

0:44:50 > 0:44:52It's a memory stick.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03I believe it's safe to assume it contains the prototype of the software.

0:45:03 > 0:45:04How can you be so sure?

0:45:04 > 0:45:06It says so on the label.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11So if we are in possession of what the murderer wants,

0:45:11 > 0:45:13- our lives really are in danger? - Absolutely.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16Right. Then we take this to the police right now and we

0:45:16 > 0:45:19find ourselves a nice little old lady who has lost her cat,

0:45:19 > 0:45:20or her dog, or her husband...

0:45:20 > 0:45:23Nonsense, MacDuff. Things are becoming nicely out of control.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26I have to see Mr Gently!

0:45:26 > 0:45:29That crazy horoscope guy is here to see you!

0:45:29 > 0:45:32Then show him in!

0:45:32 > 0:45:33You show him in!

0:45:33 > 0:45:38I believe we have already discussed my inability to show someone in when I am already in myself!

0:45:38 > 0:45:41Could we please just pay her wages?

0:45:41 > 0:45:43If we pay her wages, then she will no longer turn up to work

0:45:43 > 0:45:45in the futile hope that one day we will pay her wages.

0:45:45 > 0:45:46Do I have to think of everything?

0:45:46 > 0:45:48I'm going to die!

0:45:48 > 0:45:51- That makes three of us.- Cup of tea?

0:45:58 > 0:46:00"You are nearing the end of an era,

0:46:00 > 0:46:05"it will be a black day, you should realise that life is precious,

0:46:05 > 0:46:08"it's time to say goodbye to the past."

0:46:08 > 0:46:10Look, can't you see? They're all the same.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12They're all predicting that I'm going to die.

0:46:12 > 0:46:16Mr Reynolds, I believe I have already proven beyond all doubt

0:46:16 > 0:46:18that your horoscope is not, in fact, coming true.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20Do you still have the rhinoceros?

0:46:20 > 0:46:23What are you talking about? What rhinoceros?

0:46:23 > 0:46:27Are you saying you have no memory of the rhinoceros,

0:46:27 > 0:46:30- or of our meeting in the pub yesterday?- What meeting?

0:46:32 > 0:46:34Interesting.

0:46:36 > 0:46:40What is all this? Is this supposed to make any sense?

0:46:40 > 0:46:42What is this obsession with order?

0:46:42 > 0:46:47There is too much order. We must embrace the chaos!

0:46:48 > 0:46:51Open your mind! Embrace the chaos!

0:46:51 > 0:46:52Embrace it!

0:46:52 > 0:46:54I don't want to die!

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Neither did Mr Edwards.

0:47:02 > 0:47:06You think you're going to die because of your horoscope.

0:47:06 > 0:47:09Mr Edwards believed the Pentagon were trying to kill him.

0:47:09 > 0:47:12Yes! Don't you see?

0:47:12 > 0:47:16Death is...random and unexpected, and very rarely predictable.

0:47:16 > 0:47:19If it were, we'd all live a lot longer.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22Yes, the Pentagon didn't murder Mr Edwards.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25So who was the woman pretending to be his wife? What about the bug in my chair?

0:47:25 > 0:47:28I have no doubt the Pentagon wish to acquire the software prototype

0:47:28 > 0:47:31and spread tyranny across the free world.

0:47:31 > 0:47:35But what if Mr Edwards wasn't killed for the software?

0:47:35 > 0:47:38There must be something else, something else.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51These accounts are a mess.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53His cheque bounced. Mr Edwards was broke.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55I thought he was rich.

0:47:55 > 0:47:58Mr Edwards believed he was rich. Money, money, money, you see?

0:47:58 > 0:48:00Someone was stealing from him.

0:48:00 > 0:48:02What about me?

0:48:02 > 0:48:05I'd have thought it perfectly clear that yours and Mr Edwards' cases

0:48:05 > 0:48:08are inextricably connected by mistaken assumptions about who or what is going to kill you.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10So who or what is going to kill me?

0:48:10 > 0:48:11I believe the answer is to be found

0:48:11 > 0:48:16by investigating the causes of Mr Edwards' precarious financial situation.

0:48:18 > 0:48:21Are you sure a piano or something isn't going to fall on me?

0:48:21 > 0:48:25There is no sign of falling pianos, tubas or any other musical instruments. At least, not today.

0:48:25 > 0:48:28You will be perfectly safe cocooned within the Princess' magnificent bosom.

0:48:28 > 0:48:31- I can smell Brie.- It makes a handy, portable snack.

0:48:31 > 0:48:34I find Brie to be among the least controversial of cheeses.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36You could smell my Brie?

0:48:36 > 0:48:39Isn't that the guy we followed to the pub?

0:48:39 > 0:48:43- That's a bit of a coincidence - There's no such thing as coincidences, MacDuff!

0:48:43 > 0:48:45Really? Why is he parked outside our office, then?

0:48:45 > 0:48:49We're about to find out. We must provoke a reaction.

0:48:51 > 0:48:52What the hell are you doing!?

0:48:52 > 0:48:56I think you have your answer, MacDuff. He's come to kill us.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58Oh, Jesus! It's happening!

0:48:58 > 0:49:00I can't escape it!

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Chance, chaos and randomness have brought us to this place.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06We're on the verge of a breakthrough!

0:49:06 > 0:49:08- Nobody move.- He's come for me!

0:49:08 > 0:49:10He's come for us!

0:49:10 > 0:49:12- Hand it over.- I'm sorry to interrupt. Who are you?

0:49:12 > 0:49:16- He's Mr Edwards' accountant. - Is he? Are you? How did you...

0:49:16 > 0:49:18Mr Edwards' didn't know he was being stolen from,

0:49:18 > 0:49:21only his accountant could keep that from him.

0:49:21 > 0:49:25What do you mean he didn't know? Mr Edwards hired you to find out who was stealing from him.

0:49:25 > 0:49:28He was on to me. That's why I had to kill him.

0:49:28 > 0:49:30You killed him?

0:49:30 > 0:49:34Mr Edwards hired myself and my partner because he believed the Pentagon had him under surveillance.

0:49:34 > 0:49:38Oh, I see, now we've got a gun pointed at us, I'm your partner all of a sudden.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41- Oh, well, there's no pleasing you, is there, MacDuff?- Well, I think it's a bit rich...

0:49:41 > 0:49:43Shut up!

0:49:43 > 0:49:45You were investigating me.

0:49:45 > 0:49:51You followed me from outside Mr Edwards' house after I killed that woman who was snooping around.

0:49:51 > 0:49:53She was working for you, wasn't she?

0:49:53 > 0:49:55We believe she was working for the Pentagon.

0:49:55 > 0:49:59We only followed you because you looked like you knew where you were going.

0:49:59 > 0:50:02Yes, I hope you'll no longer doubt the value of Zen navigation.

0:50:02 > 0:50:04We ended up exactly where we needed to be.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06Oh, no! Yeah, I think it's worked out brilliantly.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09Will you shut up!

0:50:09 > 0:50:11Do you think I'm stupid?

0:50:11 > 0:50:13You're lying.

0:50:13 > 0:50:14Hand it over!

0:50:14 > 0:50:18Perhaps it would help if you were to tell us exactly what it is that you wish us to hand over?

0:50:18 > 0:50:22The evidence that I killed Mr Edwards. I know you've got it.

0:50:22 > 0:50:24I will shoot you.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26He's going to kill us.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28- He's not interested in you. - I'll kill all of you.

0:50:28 > 0:50:33If you are to die, it's only as an innocent bystander

0:50:33 > 0:50:34Has someone been eating cinnamon?

0:50:34 > 0:50:36I had a cinnamon whirl at the coffee shop.

0:50:36 > 0:50:38You were following me.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41How long have you had this acute sense of smell?

0:50:41 > 0:50:44- I don't know. I can't remember. - You've got three seconds.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48One,

0:50:48 > 0:50:51two...

0:50:51 > 0:50:53All right, you're absolutely right.

0:50:53 > 0:50:56It's all on here, every incriminating detail.

0:51:00 > 0:51:04Mr Reynolds! Mr Reynolds!

0:51:10 > 0:51:12Oliver?

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Don't do it, Oliver.

0:51:15 > 0:51:17Listen.

0:51:17 > 0:51:22Listen, we can help you, OK.

0:51:22 > 0:51:25Just think of your wife. She loves you.

0:51:25 > 0:51:26I can't escape it.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28I want to end my life on my terms.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31Oliver, you're not going to die.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33You couldn't be more wrong, MacDuff.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36Your erratic behaviour, your memory loss, your acute sense of smell.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39These are all common symptoms of someone with a brain tumour.

0:51:39 > 0:51:43It explains everything. You clearly have a massive brain tumour.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45So my horoscope was right.

0:51:45 > 0:51:46I am going to die.

0:51:46 > 0:51:50Yeah, probably, but not because of your horoscope.

0:51:50 > 0:51:54It'll be the huge, tumorous growth pressing on your frontal cortex that'll kill you.

0:52:10 > 0:52:15It seems we will never learn who sent me those Valentine's Day cards.

0:52:17 > 0:52:19Where's Oliver? What happened?

0:52:19 > 0:52:22Your husband is fine, Ms Reynolds.

0:52:22 > 0:52:26When I say fine, he has a multitude of broken bones, a fractured skull, and a brain tumour.

0:52:26 > 0:52:27Brain tumour?

0:52:27 > 0:52:30I believe the tumour is responsible for his recent behaviour.

0:52:30 > 0:52:35The change in his mental state caused him to believe his horoscope was coming true.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38The extramarital affair with the attractive woman of Mediterranean origin

0:52:38 > 0:52:40is just a symptom of his condition.

0:52:40 > 0:52:43Is he going to be all right?

0:52:43 > 0:52:48After some rather complicated brain surgery, and a good deal of time in traction,

0:52:48 > 0:52:51his doctor has assured me he will be just fine.

0:52:51 > 0:52:52Thank God.

0:52:52 > 0:52:56Which just leaves the very small matter of my invoice.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59Does this invoice cover charging myself and my husband

0:52:59 > 0:53:01for investigating the same case?

0:53:01 > 0:53:03To the untrained eye,

0:53:03 > 0:53:06my methods may sometimes appear somewhat tangential...

0:53:14 > 0:53:16It seems we're going to have to console ourselves with

0:53:16 > 0:53:19collecting the reward for apprehending Mr Edwards' killer.

0:53:19 > 0:53:21Sorry.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24They're not going to give us the reward when they realise the only reason

0:53:24 > 0:53:27Mr Edwards' accountant murdered him was because he hired you.

0:53:27 > 0:53:29Ah, but if Mr Edwards hadn't hired me,

0:53:29 > 0:53:32Mr Reynolds' brain tumour may never have been diagnosed,

0:53:32 > 0:53:33resulting in his untimely demise.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36I am merely part of the web that interconnected those two events.

0:53:38 > 0:53:41We're still not getting paid by anyone, though, are we?

0:53:41 > 0:53:44You are forgetting we are still in possession of an extremely

0:53:44 > 0:53:46valuable software prototype.

0:53:46 > 0:53:48We're going to be rich, MacDuff!

0:53:51 > 0:53:53The memory stick.

0:53:54 > 0:53:55It was in my pocket.

0:54:26 > 0:54:31I believe we are having the sort of day that would make even Mother Teresa kick babies.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43We will be requiring tea.

0:54:47 > 0:54:50I'm going on an excessively long lunch break.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51Very good.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45I forgot my bag.

0:55:45 > 0:55:48I was just looking for a pair of scissors.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53MacDuff? MacDuff?

0:55:55 > 0:55:57- TV:- 'At 0700 hours local time,

0:55:57 > 0:56:00'American tanks rolled across the border into Mexico.'

0:56:00 > 0:56:02There's been an interesting development.

0:56:02 > 0:56:06'..Faced with an overwhelming show of force, the Mexican army surrendered en masse,

0:56:06 > 0:56:09'and, by midday, the American flag was flying over Mexico City.'

0:56:09 > 0:56:12That is very fast, even for the Pentagon.

0:56:12 > 0:56:14'The full-scale American invasion of Mexico has been met with

0:56:14 > 0:56:16'surprisingly little protest from the United Nations.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19'Even America's staunchest critics have conceded that the logic

0:56:19 > 0:56:22'and reasoning behind the invasion appear irrefutable.'

0:56:28 > 0:56:32I didn't dare to dream that I would ever return in triumph.

0:56:32 > 0:56:33Someone is selling our work.

0:56:33 > 0:56:34I will not fail you again.

0:56:34 > 0:56:37It's a totally new approach to artificial intelligence,

0:56:37 > 0:56:39modelled on the brain's synaptic patterns.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42Elaine's been stolen! The gynoid, my robot, she's gone!

0:56:42 > 0:56:43It's a disaster.

0:56:43 > 0:56:47I find you odd, but strangely alluring.

0:56:47 > 0:56:50- Are you in love?- Is she mentally incapacitated in some way?

0:56:50 > 0:56:52Where were you Dirk? Where were you?

0:56:52 > 0:56:54Professor Jericho is depending on us!

0:56:54 > 0:56:57Your beloved professor is not who you think he was.

0:56:57 > 0:57:00This whole place gives me the creeps.
