Roundabout Season 2 presented by Nissan is

0:02

live now, and we're back to share

0:04

more stories from the road and the

0:06

memories made along the way. We're talking

0:09

rest stops. If we're stopping to get

0:11

gas, you will be

0:13

timed. Misguided plans. I grew up in

0:15

the city, so I have like, you

0:18

know, a healthy fear of real

0:20

extreme darkness. A lot

0:22

of laughs. Y'all were weird, but

0:24

you were different. And so much

0:26

more. Listen and subscribe wherever

0:28

you get your podcasts. Life

0:33

is full of what-ifs. Some awesome,

0:35

like what if AI could fold

0:37

your laundry? And some,

0:39

well, less awesome, like what if you

0:42

have unexpected medical costs? UnitedHealthcare

0:44

1:09

Japanese macaque escaped. Tomodensite is the

1:12

channel for... ...things that are not

1:14

Swedish. ...canada's amendment for... ...queen

1:17

marianne and... ...namai... We

1:20

begin our midsummer weather forecast with the

1:22

news of a heat wave that is

1:24

tearing its way across Europe. Temperatures in

1:27

the southern Scandinavian regions are expected to

1:29

peak today with severe weather warnings for

1:31

thunderstorms and power cuts later in the

1:33

day. It's 7am. Over

1:36

to the news. We

1:39

approach the slaughterhouse with

1:41

a wide range of emotions and

1:43

feelings. The

1:45

first is heat. An

1:47

inevitable feeling that comes with being dressed

1:49

as a waitress in a heat wave.

1:52

Especially when that waitress outfit consists

1:54

of a thick shirt, woolen

1:57

waistcoat and a tie. Fear of

1:59

heat. Fear

2:01

of not solving the crime. Fear

2:03

of having to cancel the podcast. If

2:06

we don't crack this, it's over. Fear

2:09

of ruining relationships. Christina's

2:11

friendships. Tight family

2:13

bonds. My own relationship.

2:16

Fear of being exposed for wearing

2:18

undercover microphones and secretly recording people.

2:22

Concern for the 15 suspects

2:24

who are attending. Will they have

2:26

a nice time? They're dedicating their midsummer

2:28

to us. Are they looking at our party

2:30

set up thinking what the hell is going

2:32

on here? I mean,

2:34

we have a rickety plastic table

2:37

with some salt and vinegar chips on it.

2:40

Not to mention the sheep in the neighbouring barn

2:43

who are watching us. And

2:45

even they don't look impressed. And

2:47

a slaughterhouse. Up until

2:50

now we have only thought it was funny to use

2:52

this as our venue. But now

2:54

that the day has come, the combination

2:56

of the taxidermy hoof that's hanging

2:58

on the sliding door, the sad

3:00

flags that we slung up this

3:02

morning, and the terrifying

3:04

hook in the middle of the room, it's all

3:07

starting to feel slightly unpleasant.

3:10

Nervousness for my debut as bad cop

3:12

to people who are essentially my family.

3:14

Around 6 o'clock, then I think we

3:16

have a bit of a change in

3:18

strategy and I would like to see

3:20

Detective Lauren Kilby get a bit tough.

3:23

There is no holding back now. It's

3:26

our moment. We don't have much time to solve

3:28

this crime. It's now or never. Jesus.

3:31

I just got goosebumps. I will be

3:33

rounding up everyone at the party. And

3:36

then I'll do like a bad cop. I'm going to put you

3:38

all in the frame. I'll be like, you lied about this. You

3:40

did this. Do we do

3:42

that though? Because we wanted it. No, I do

3:44

like that. The idea of publicly shaming people. You

3:46

like it? Yeah, I like that. Okay, great. Because

3:49

that really starts to wind people up

3:51

quicker than anything else. We vote. It's

3:53

a democracy. Who thinks class to

3:55

them? We turn them

3:57

into a jury. No, you can turn it on the other way. You

4:00

know who you are. We

4:04

don't need to tell her, because you know who you

4:06

are, and you know what you have to do. So

4:09

you know what you've done? Yeah,

4:12

and you know what you need to do

4:14

next. I think this is really lousy detective

4:16

work. I

4:20

give them a glass of schnapps and it'll be like

4:22

we're about you're about to feature the thing and then you're

4:24

actually... I'm about to do a song. I'll be like,

4:26

I care. I've written a little Midsummer song. Line up,

4:29

bitches! Haha! Midsummer

4:42

madness at the slaughterhouse.

4:47

Introducing Karen Whitehouse.

4:50

Initial strategy. Suck up to

4:52

as many suspects as possible.

4:55

I love your hat. You look so beautiful. Is

4:58

it fresh? Are you the best dancer out of

5:00

the Five Brothers? I would want you on my

5:02

team, I think, for any other sort of sporting

5:04

events. You've been amazing helping us

5:06

today. Your first email was the funniest

5:08

we got. You're very cool and calm

5:11

and... Mike

5:13

Berry. Initial strategy.

5:15

Conceal true identity. I'm

5:18

Mike. Mike. That's

5:24

my niece. Yes, I happen

5:26

to be over here, I'm a retired journalist, I happen to be

5:28

over here just moving around and she's

5:30

over here. So I haven't seen her for ages, so

5:32

I thought, can we see her? So

5:35

it's Chris's sister and

5:38

brother, not me. Yeah, so it's complicated.

5:40

He's basically gate-crashing our party. Yes, when

5:42

I was enough, gotta stand with... These

5:45

are war wounds, you didn't realise. Detective

5:49

Lauren Kilby. Initial strategy. Frantically over-communicate

5:51

where people can relieve themselves. That

5:53

you can use the toilet at

5:55

Jahn and Steiner's house and where

5:57

they could go to the toilet.

6:00

And that is in Yarn and Steenah's house. Or

6:02

the forest. If you need to go to the

6:04

toilet, we can use the toilet at Yarn and

6:06

Steenah's house. So feel free to use that. Overhouses.

6:10

You can also use your own house. Helen

6:14

McLaughlin, initial strategy, just have a

6:17

really nice time, Helen, and forget

6:19

that you're here to do an

6:21

actual job. We've got beer. That

6:24

is really good. Ooh, look, food. I'll

6:27

take one. Thanks. Shall

6:29

we get some drinks in? Yeah. Good.

6:31

Bye, love. All right.

6:33

Thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome.

6:35

So maybe I'll put that. I'm

6:38

going to go and grab one. I'm going to try one of your beers. Oh,

6:41

man. The

6:45

overarching mission today is to secure

6:47

a confession. We must

6:50

also initiate side missions, which

6:52

involve exploring connections to the objects

6:54

that were planted on Christina's veranda.

6:59

Side mission number one, the

7:01

toiletries bag, which was found in

7:03

the suitcase, which held the toothbrush

7:06

and toothpaste, was branded color line

7:08

ferries. This ferry runs very

7:10

close to Black Lake, where most of

7:13

the suspects live. So

7:15

today, my undercover team will be searching

7:17

for a connection to Norway and to

7:19

someone who might have used that ferry

7:21

service. Side

7:25

mission two, we will also

7:27

be digging for any connections to the

7:29

name on the suitcase label. It's

7:32

very likely that the old suitcase

7:34

was passed down from

7:36

somebody's grandfather or great grandfather.

7:44

I'm going to call it. Yeah. Does anyone have any tank

7:46

on? I could. Tank on?

7:48

An olive at all? Yeah, olives. Instead

7:52

of a glass, we've got a full pot

7:54

of olives. It's

7:57

not going to make it. It's not going to make a sound because it needs to be

7:59

empty. Fuck's

8:01

sake. Okay, get me an actual... There's

8:03

a beer... Someone's holding a beer, surely.

8:07

What are you doing? Gather

8:11

round, everybody. Gather round. Oh, God.

8:16

Gather round, please. Outside.

8:21

I'd just like to formally welcome

8:23

everybody to Midsummer Madness. At

8:30

the Slaughterhouse. So, I

8:32

just want to introduce everyone who will

8:35

introduce us. You probably have already met

8:37

us, but I am Detective Lauren Kilby,

8:39

also known as Lauren Kilby. This is

8:41

Karen, assistant to the detective. And

8:44

then this is Helen, assistant to the assistant to the

8:46

detective. Thank you so much for

8:48

coming to Midsummer Celebration. We're really happy to see

8:51

you. I know Christina is as well. Are

8:53

you? Yeah. Okay, great. It

8:57

is Jan and Stina's Slaughterhouse. So, actually,

8:59

thank you very much, Jan and

9:01

Stina, for allowing

9:04

us to be in

9:06

this wonderful building. Very appropriate to

9:08

the podcast. But actually, it's not

9:10

really about the podcast today, is it? It's just

9:12

us having a good old time with some good

9:14

old friends, sharing some nice

9:17

old good old information about anything you

9:19

want, including things that have been deposited

9:21

previously on Christina's doorstep. So,

9:25

if you do have information and you've

9:28

not already disclosed it to me, lead

9:30

detective, then, you know, there'll be

9:32

plenty of opportunities. We can walk off into the

9:34

bush. I'm not carrying a weapon,

9:37

so don't worry about that. So,

9:40

please have fun. There

9:42

are no rules, except to have fun.

9:44

Any other rules? Give

9:46

information. Give information, have fun. Help

9:48

yourself to drinks. Help yourself to

9:51

drinks. And

9:53

confess. And confess. If

9:55

you feel the need to confess, that would also be really nice. Because

9:58

then we can have next week off. This

10:03

is episode 6 of the case

10:05

of the tiny suitcase. Before

10:12

we continue, we did actually check with

10:14

our criminal lawyer if it was legal

10:16

to go undercover. Is that legal? Will

10:19

you be getting everyone's consent to wear

10:21

those secret microphones? We will have a

10:23

sign that says we may or may

10:25

not be recording you. Perfect. All

10:28

you need to do and maybe

10:30

add in like very tiny, barely

10:32

visible writing underneath the sign. If

10:34

you enter, you consent to being

10:36

recorded so you can rely on

10:39

that later in court. Like

10:41

an invisible pen or something? Yep, that'd be fine.

10:44

Undercover agents, over to you. Can

10:49

I get you anything to drink? Do you

10:51

need anything? I'm

10:53

here to serve you, that's why I'm wearing a tie. Many

10:56

years ago I worked in a slaughterhouse in England. So

10:59

I used to shoot sheep and pigs. We

11:02

had the old gun that goes in the brain. Apparently

11:06

with even more flavour. And

11:08

tiny. Yes. Tiny strawberries.

11:11

Yes. Ester nail, maybe. Wow.

11:15

And that's the best of all. And we're

11:17

off to a very questionable start. With Uncle

11:19

Mike focusing on the slaughtering of animals. Do

11:21

you cut the throat or do you use

11:23

a gun? A

11:26

gun. You've got, yeah. Special

11:28

gun. Yeah. I mean, it's

11:30

still a bomb. It's a super straight in the brain. And

11:33

Helen eating and drinking whatever she

11:35

can find. I might have another

11:37

one of these. They're quite nice. This orange one I like.

11:41

It's time to get to work. Initiate

11:43

Operation Cousin Pass. Can

11:49

I just recap why I think Klaus is so suspicious? First

11:52

of all, he had the direct view of Christina's house, so

11:54

he really would have known when she was away to like

11:56

sneak in and just put it there. He's

11:58

also been really odd. ever since we

12:01

first interviewed him. He's been a bit

12:03

too helpful. He threw Pear,

12:05

his brother, under the bus immediately. And he

12:07

said, oh look, I've got this diary from

12:09

2009. We

12:12

didn't ask for it, which was really weird. He sent

12:14

us a picture of it. And he

12:16

was like, look, I've got, on the day,

12:18

really bizarre, on the day which was a

12:20

Monday in December, he said,

12:22

look, Pear says he was away and he

12:24

lived in Texas at the time, but I've

12:27

got, in my diary written, P plus E,

12:29

like they came over to our house for dinner,

12:32

and Pear and his daughter Erica. Pear

12:34

is very sure that he was living in Texas. We

12:36

asked him again yesterday and he said, no, I was

12:38

in Houston during that time. So

12:40

Klaus is trying to frame his brother, is what you're saying?

12:42

Yes. Herron has

12:44

cornered the target. We told you we

12:47

did one podcast the first season. I

12:49

read it from the paper and I tried to

12:52

listen a bit, but the

12:54

language was a little bit... Quick, maybe,

12:56

yeah. Interesting that Klaus

12:58

is so interested in us.

13:01

We know that he actually doesn't listen to

13:03

podcasts. He said it himself when we sent

13:05

out the Midsummer Invite because

13:07

we asked all invitees to answer,

13:10

have you listened to season one of the

13:12

podcast and did you find it insightful? Klaus

13:15

said, no, I don't listen

13:17

to podcasts at all or things like

13:19

that because I need to rest my

13:21

brain. If he

13:23

has listened, does that mean he would

13:26

recognise Mike Berry's voice? Does

13:28

that mean he thinks that he's more than an

13:31

uncle to us? Oh. Mike

13:33

is now moving in on the target.

13:35

No. Klaus. Klaus. Klaus.

13:37

Oh, Klaus. Yes, I'm looking

13:39

at your photograph and

13:41

I think you look better in the flesh than you do.

13:44

Yeah, no, that is John. Oh, that's not him. Oh, that's

13:46

not him. Oh, right, I've got the wrong ones. Wrong

13:49

target, Mike. So that's Klaus.

13:51

Klaus is the younger brother. Younger brother.

13:53

John. Oh, well, that's why he looks

13:55

better. If you're a younger brother, I

13:58

was saying you look better in the flesh. I

14:01

thought that was you, and I thought you looked better

14:04

in real life than the painting, but then if you're

14:06

the younger brother, you would do. The

14:08

target is ignoring Mike and not

14:10

making eye contact. It could

14:12

be something to do with the fact that Mike

14:14

just insulted his looks. Mike, is

14:16

that a good question? Yes. It

14:19

gives me to adjust your thigh. Oh.

14:23

Sorry. Sorry, yeah, what's

14:25

going on with class? Every

14:27

time I come near him, he just walks away. And

14:31

I don't know if he's true to who I

14:33

am or what. He's very clever. I

14:35

just find it fascinating that he just moves away.

14:42

He's from England. Yeah,

14:44

my mum is from Holland, and

14:47

my dad is from England, and I grew up in England. Yeah.

14:52

But I live in Amsterdam now,

14:54

so, yeah. And you have

14:56

always lived here. Me and

14:58

my brothers have been here since 59 on summer.

15:02

But we are grown up in Scotland. Oh, really? I

15:05

didn't know that. Here

15:09

we have a potential link to

15:11

the suitcase. We

15:13

contacted a vintage suitcase specialist,

15:16

who told us a few interesting,

15:18

and not so interesting, things about

15:21

the suitcase. One

15:23

thing he did mention was in relation

15:25

to the label on the suitcase, William

15:28

Johnson. Who is William Johnson? If

15:30

he had to guess, he would say that the

15:32

owner of the suitcase was

15:35

a Scot or a Scottish immigrant. Yes,

15:39

this is speculation, but

15:41

it's coming from a professional. So

15:43

pretty reliable speculation, if you ask

15:45

me. So now we

15:48

have class with ties to Scotland,

15:51

and therefore with potential ties to

15:53

the owner of the suitcase. More

15:59

bearfish. Helen

16:03

is making unprecedented progress

16:05

with her own personal

16:07

target, which is the

16:09

catering. It's got the salami and

16:12

then the cheese. I think seeds.

16:14

Is it seeds around the sides?

16:17

Some sort of, I don't know

16:19

if it's pumpkin, all around it's

16:21

decorated. Everything is beautiful. Some

16:24

of the Swedes have whipped up a

16:26

traditional Swedish dish called smorgas tartan. It

16:29

translates to sandwich cake. It's

16:32

essentially a savoury cake. Layers

16:35

of mayonnaise, meat or fish,

16:37

cheese and weird garnishes. It

16:40

looks quite fun, but in my

16:42

opinion tastes foul. I'm

16:45

intrigued. We were just talking about the sandwich cake. I've

16:47

never seen anything like it, so I'm intrigued. On

16:50

a scale of 1 to 10, how do you think this

16:52

is going? Less

16:56

than 5, didn't they? I've

16:58

had some weird things in the world. So

17:01

glad we spent 1,000 euros on this

17:03

equipment. Are

17:07

you all one big incestuous

17:10

family? Sandwich

17:25

cake. Do

17:33

you get all the tickets? I

17:35

tried to say that and I think my tactic was to get fucking

17:38

exhibits off as having a break. Classic. Also you know

17:40

you were supposed to put out those signs that said

17:42

you consent to being recorded. You didn't

17:45

do that fucking job so no

17:47

one has consented. They're not app

17:49

anywhere. They're nowhere. Helen! That

17:51

was her one job. So none of us, we

17:54

can use. None

17:56

of it. This

17:58

is the one most it's called. I'd like to know if

18:01

you could do a speech and say if you came

18:03

here today. You put the nicely designed one about presents.

18:05

We just swap the signs now and

18:07

take a photo and say it was always

18:09

like that. I'm going to go

18:11

with it. Me too. Off you go, you're doing that

18:13

though. Launch

18:16

Operation Vanya. Vanya

18:20

is Christina's best friend, neighbour

18:22

and platonic wife who was

18:24

previously married to class. Christina

18:27

and Vanya love hanging out.

18:30

Drinking whiskey, smoking cigars, brewing beer.

18:32

They've been in book clubs together.

18:35

They get on like a house

18:37

on fire. As someone so incredibly

18:39

close to the victim, Vanya must

18:41

have some sort of information to

18:43

give to us. Welcome,

18:45

hi, I'm Karen. I recognise you

18:48

for the fault of us. You do, yeah. Nice

18:50

to see you. Nice to meet you in person.

18:52

Welcome to the Slaughterhouse, which you've probably been to

18:54

before. Yes,

18:57

Karen, she has because she lives here

19:00

and knows her village. I haven't seen

19:02

any dead bodies here. No,

19:04

there'll be a few later. Dead bodies? What?

19:08

Hi. Hi. This is

19:10

Mike. Let me take the bottle. Yes. Hello,

19:13

Mike. Hello. And

19:15

who are you? I'm a

19:18

neighbour. Vanya. Vanya. And

19:20

a close friend to Christina. Ah, yes. A

19:23

friend. She was telling me about you. The wife.

19:26

The wife. Me friend. No, no,

19:28

no, no. The one that causes all the trouble.

19:31

Yes. Yes. I

19:34

always make problems. Yes. That's

19:36

good. That's good reputation. Nice. She's

19:39

the one that gets you into trouble and things like

19:41

that. All the time. Yeah, all the time.

19:44

So she's the one that did all the naughty things to you then.

19:48

No. No. We

19:50

are very kind. We are supporting

19:52

each other. Have

19:54

you been bawling? Have you been taking

19:56

your boss? About

19:58

swim? No, no. Yes, not yet.

20:01

In the lake? Yeah? Not yet. Helen

20:03

and the target are having a chat.

20:05

And the conversation starts in a way

20:07

that takes Helen by surprise. I

20:10

think next week. Tonight. By tonight.

20:12

I have built a house. Oh, did you bring

20:14

it to me? Did you? Yes. Yeah, ready to

20:16

go. Yes. I guess it calls you down,

20:18

right? You don't need any clothes.

20:20

No. No, what are you saying? Just. Are you

20:22

saying just strip off and go ride in there?

20:26

This might be quite an evening.

20:28

Skinny dipping with the suspects was

20:30

not on your task list today,

20:33

Helen. But then their chat progresses

20:35

to reveal some slightly more useful

20:37

and potentially incriminating information. Because

20:40

I have a brother which is six

20:42

years older. And we have been really

20:44

with the northern most of his time.

20:46

But now we're speaking to them. A

20:49

brother who lived in Norway.

20:53

And then she says this. Some years

20:55

before that, when I was even

20:58

younger, I was working as

21:00

a canoe instructor in Norway. Right. In

21:02

the mountains. Yeah. Then she starts telling

21:04

Helen that she used to live in

21:07

Norway. She used to work there as

21:09

a canoe instructor. Best

21:14

friend Vanya happens to

21:16

have two connections to

21:19

Norway and would

21:21

have had several reasons to

21:23

board that colour line ferry

21:25

service and collect the complimentary

21:27

toiletries bag. And is

21:29

it a coincidence that she

21:32

is class's ex-wife, our

21:34

current major suspect? Did Vanya just

21:36

leave the complimentary toiletries bag in

21:39

class's house and then he

21:41

planted it in the bag that he

21:43

planted on Christina's veranda? Or

21:45

is she more involved in this whole thing

21:48

than she's been letting on? That's

21:50

why we're here to get your confession. Yeah.

21:53

You don't think it's worth it? Yeah. What

21:55

do you think? Do you think

21:57

that you will find the solution?

21:59

Yeah. Yes, yes, we must.

22:01

You must? Yeah, we took a holiday especially.

22:03

Or do you find your own solution, maybe?

22:06

I know that Detective Lauren Kilby can

22:09

be quite creative. I think so.

22:12

Thank you. Yeah. So

22:14

you just never know what twist or turn it's going to

22:16

take. Who

22:19

do you think did it? The

22:21

brother of Christina's father. The

22:24

brother of Christina's father? Right.

22:27

I loved him. It's almost

22:29

the perfect crime if he can frame somebody who's dead.

22:32

Yes, indeed. We

22:34

can just say, yeah, it is. And then

22:36

we convict him in his absence. Framing

22:40

the deceased, classy move Helen

22:42

and Vanya. Hello. Hello.

22:45

Can I have a word with you, please? No,

22:47

at the moment. Yes. What

22:50

with me, Vanya? Right. Let's

22:53

go up here by this tractor. Yeah. So

22:57

we can just, you know, have a little discussion. Far

23:00

away from the party. So, come

23:03

on. You are Christina's

23:06

wife, platonic wife. I also,

23:08

in one way, yes. She

23:10

told us that. She loves you. You're

23:12

her best friend. So she would trust you

23:14

with everything. Yeah. So

23:16

you know her very, very well. What do

23:19

you think happened? Who do you

23:21

think was involved in this? I

23:24

told your friend before that I get

23:26

a new theory. Some

23:28

month ago. And then

23:30

I was thinking, Klaus's father. Klaus's

23:33

father? Oh, Ruben. Ruben, yes. She's

23:36

dead now. Christina's Uncle

23:38

Ruben. Christina's

23:41

Uncle Ruben. Because

23:43

he had a special

23:46

relationship with Christina. Yeah. So

23:48

Klaus is now living in Ruben's old house. Yes.

23:52

Farner starts explaining that Uncle Ruben had

23:54

a lot of old vintage things in

23:56

his house. And that the items in

23:58

question care very well of come from

24:00

his attic. And

24:02

that was full of things. Could

24:04

he have found this... Suitcase

24:07

or suit? I don't

24:10

think this suitcase. Yeah. I think the

24:12

first... The suit. ...just used. If

24:15

the person who committed these crimes is dead,

24:17

I'm going to be really pissed off. I

24:20

just think if you had done it, you

24:22

would have told Christina by now. Yeah, I...

24:24

You would have said, surprise. You know, I

24:26

am the person, I buy a present for

24:29

my daughters and they should wait one month.

24:31

I can't stop it. I have to tell

24:33

them before... Yeah, that's good. That's

24:35

kind of secret. Yes. That's

24:37

very good to know. Good information.

26:44

what was that screaming? That was class

26:46

when he went to get his fingerprints

26:48

made and he got upset. Class

26:52

will you please come with me? Have

27:02

you ever had your fingerprints taken before? No no no.

27:04

Would you mind if I take your fingerprints? And

27:06

if you could just circle yes on

27:09

this last one. You're the

27:11

only one that's refused

27:15

so far. You're clever. Don't

27:18

just sign whatever. You are

27:21

clever. You're clever.

27:23

No you're clever. No you're

27:25

clever. Karen get a grip.

27:28

Stop flirting with the suspects. What

27:31

the hell is going on in here? Oh wow

27:40

you're actually zooming in on the small print that

27:42

you can't read. Did

27:44

you commit a crime? So

27:47

if you're guilty you circle yes.

27:50

If you're innocent you circle no. Watching

27:55

every move answer no. Have

28:01

you ever touched the suitcase?

28:06

Not what I know. If

28:09

we find your fingerprints on the suitcase, what

28:12

would you think? How would you feel? Then

28:15

I would be very... Yeah,

28:18

how could it happen? Well,

28:21

it's always a possibility that the suitcase

28:23

and the pots are coming from my

28:26

relatives. Yeah. So,

28:30

even though I don't know about the

28:33

history of the suitcase, it

28:35

could maybe use it as a kid.

28:37

I don't know. Yeah. It's

28:40

such a fun one. I can't wait to find out

28:42

who did it. Honestly,

28:44

Karen. Thank you very much.

28:46

Enjoy the rest of your day. Thank you for

28:48

your forensic examination. We'll be in

28:51

touch when we think you're guilty. Sounds

28:53

like dessert. It might be a variety.

28:55

I imagine strawberries, maybe some cream,

28:58

possibly ice cream, maybe a bit of meringue.

29:01

Imagine if we're at this party and someone leaves

29:03

an item on her doorstep. Why

29:06

is that lady in the blue looking at me? She's

29:11

probably explaining, trying to explain who you

29:13

are. Oh, right. What do

29:16

you think happened with this

29:18

suit and the suitcase? I

29:20

think absolutely Christina and this

29:23

person or persons know

29:26

each other. Yeah. Do you

29:28

think there are any other friends

29:30

of Christina that we need to

29:32

speak to? Why isn't that

29:34

okay? I don't know, actually. I don't

29:37

know. I met Anika

29:41

the day before yesterday and

29:44

I asked, do

29:47

we meet each other on

29:50

Saturday? Yeah. She

29:52

didn't know anything. We

29:56

might have forgotten. Yeah. Oh,

29:58

no. Oh, no. Thank you. Shit.

30:02

Can we call her now? Yeah. And

30:04

get her to come? Yeah, she should

30:06

be here. We just made a

30:09

mistake. Yeah. That's our fault. Yeah,

30:11

yeah, yeah. You call her and tell her

30:13

to come. Can you call her? Okay.

30:20

I'm not. This is... The

30:26

heat wave continues across southern Scandinavia,

30:28

and a low pressure front is

30:30

now approaching, bringing thunderstorms looming on

30:33

the horizon. Water bands have

30:35

been imposed across southern Gothenburg areas, with the

30:37

rest of Sweden soon to follow. Stay

30:40

safe and apply sunscreen. Where

30:44

are the signs? Where is it?

30:51

Look! God,

31:02

oh, it's awful! You

31:04

got it, Bill? Done.

31:14

What? Signing. What is

31:16

this? Are you done? Nobody will ever know

31:18

it was every different. Phone

31:23

rings Pick

31:29

up. Hey,

31:33

Sam, can you name me a bit of this?

31:40

She did not answer. No

31:42

answer. Oh, the sun's

31:44

just gone, that's good. Oh,

31:47

that cloud, those clouds are good. Yeah. You

31:49

recovered from yesterday? Yeah, I have. Yes.

31:54

Karen is not the only person who

31:56

is flirting at this party. I

31:58

was gentle with you. I was changing.

32:01

I said to them, I said you're going home

32:03

tomorrow because I would really like to have a

32:05

chat with you about your work

32:08

because I'm so interested in that. And

32:12

when you talked about your study,

32:14

I really got pictures of you,

32:16

where you sit and think and

32:18

put the clues together. I

32:20

think it's going to storm. Yeah, oh, it's already

32:22

been running. I hope so. As for

32:24

your speech, I think it's going to just like... Yeah. It's

32:28

going to... Sander. Lauren,

32:30

the thunder's rumbling. I

32:33

think it's going to rain any moment now. I

32:41

can feel it. Yeah, I think I hear

32:43

some thunder in the background. Yeah. Yeah.

32:47

All right, I don't have a proper confession yet, so I'm

32:49

about to turn shit up. Get ready. Turn

32:51

shit up. Yeah. It's

32:53

time. So just roll it

32:55

and then you end it with like, we're coming after you basically.

33:02

Friends, boyfriends, victims

33:07

and esteemed suspects. A

33:11

person in this area or

33:14

a person not in this area

33:17

may or may not have deposited

33:20

one or two or

33:22

more items on Christina's porch.

33:26

Do you agree? Stand

33:29

up, please. Is this

33:31

a short person? Yes. I'd

33:34

like to see a show of hands for

33:36

anyone who has ever bullied

33:39

or joked about Christina's height.

33:43

Okay, so we have Oscar, you will. Uncle

33:46

Mike, Helen and myself. Great.

33:49

Hands up if

33:51

you've ever called Christina

33:53

tall. who

34:00

just laughed has essentially just

34:02

bullied her for her height. What

34:09

is another way of bullying someone about

34:12

their height? Would

34:14

it be to deposit a small

34:16

tiny suit on that person's veranda?

34:20

Stay standing if you

34:22

have ever played a prank on Christina.

34:25

A joke, a practical joke. I

34:31

won't accept anything less than honesty. I

34:34

don't think there's any serious behaviour going on here

34:36

and I'm about to get really angry. What

34:39

you're seeing right now is good cop. But

34:41

when I turn, I turn

34:43

into moderately good cop and then I

34:46

turn into very bad cop. And

34:48

if I'm sensing any dishonesty in the room, the

34:51

area, then I

34:53

will not be impressed. So

34:56

is anyone sitting down lying to me right

34:58

now about having played a prank on Christina

35:00

before? Get up, stand up, stand tall. Stand

35:02

tall and proud. What

35:05

prank was that? What

35:07

prank was that? I'm

35:23

feeling like a few people aren't being very

35:25

honest with me today. With

35:27

me and my fellow detectives. And

35:30

that makes us a little bit sad. Because

35:32

what we like when we come

35:35

and give our free time is

35:38

to be given back

35:41

honesty and authenticity.

35:44

It's what we thrive on, isn't

35:46

it, Karen? Absolutely. Authenticity. So

35:49

this is why I'm going to give you one last chance to

35:52

prove that you are not guilty.

35:56

And unless one of you comes forward, you're

35:59

all going to jail. Everyone stand up please.

36:02

And I'd like us to just form a little bit more

36:04

of a rounder circle. Maybe we need to just go out

36:06

into the road. In the rain. It's

36:12

thundering, it's raining. We're gathering the suspects.

36:16

We will be standing here

36:18

in this exact position until

36:20

someone confesses. Anyone

36:24

else got anything to say to the group to step

36:26

forward and reveal before we remain

36:29

standing for the next however

36:31

long? Two hours. At least.

36:33

Because it's starting to rain, I'm getting a bit

36:35

tired and I'd like to wrap this up. Enlilena,

36:39

anything you want to say to the group? No.

36:45

Platonic wife? Yes. No.

36:49

Class? I want to thank

36:51

everyone for the time that we've been waiting

36:53

for. All

36:56

neighbours and friends all through all

36:58

these years, we have a good

37:00

time. And now we're standing

37:02

here, the wife and... I

37:05

come with you. Is

37:08

this your going off to jail speech?

37:11

No, no, no, no. Standing here on TV.

37:14

Because I will say that jokes aside and

37:16

we may or may not be recording this,

37:21

but it's actually a really funny

37:23

thing. Good on the person who

37:25

did it. It's a nice thing. So honestly, be proud

37:27

of yourself. Step forward. You know it was you. Just

37:30

come on, this is your time. Step forward, please. Okay,

37:35

that's it. Then I've got one final trick and you're not going

37:37

to like this and I'm sorry I had to come to this.

37:40

Yes. Because you're all a bit shy.

37:42

None of you want to name names, but here we are. I'm

37:44

going to count down from 10. You're welcome. And

37:47

when I get to zero, you're going to

37:49

point at the person who you think did

37:51

it. And I'm assuming the two crimes

37:53

are connected just for this purpose of the... What

37:56

should we do? Two separate ones? No, it has

37:58

to be the most guilty person here. So

38:00

it has to be someone heard. And it cannot,

38:03

if anyone points to me, assistant to

38:05

the detective, assistant to the assistant detective,

38:07

assistant to the assistant to the assistant

38:09

detective, we will be very upset. It's

38:12

not a joke. This is not a fun game that we're

38:14

playing. And we are also not able to participate in this.

38:16

So I'm going to count down from 10. Do

38:18

you understand? Should I do it in Swedish? What's

38:22

10 is a 10 times 1? 8,

38:27

9, 8, 8,

38:29

10, 11, 12,

38:31

13, 14, 16,

38:33

17, 18, 19,

38:35

19, 19. And

38:37

point. We've got

38:39

a lass. We've got a couple of lass. We've

38:43

got a class. We've

38:45

got another. No, what's this? What's

38:47

that? It's not someone in the sky. Point.

38:50

Play a con. Class, you've got to play. I

38:53

got to play. You've got to play the game. You're

38:56

pointing at God. I have no idea. These

38:58

two have no idea. All

39:01

right. No, that's all for tonight. Thanks,

39:03

everyone. You can go back to

39:05

your seats and enjoy the rest of the evening.

39:07

It's actually just a bit of fun. It

39:11

was just nothing, really. It was a silly game. Everyone

39:15

relax. As

39:26

the torrential rain continued to pour down

39:29

around us, we removed

39:31

our hidden microphones, our ties,

39:33

our waistcoats, and we took

39:35

a moment to reflect on what we had learned

39:37

from this undercover operation. Vanya

39:40

has clear links to Norway

39:43

and therefore one of the objects in the suitcase,

39:46

and she's also class as ex-wife. But

39:49

would Christina's best friend lie to

39:51

her face about something like this

39:53

for 12 years? Surely

39:56

not. But if she is lying,

39:59

why? Class has

40:01

a connection to Scotland and therefore

40:03

a possible link to the original

40:05

suitcases owner, William Johnson.

40:08

He avoided Mike Berry, he screamed twice

40:11

when Karen tried to take his fingerprints

40:13

and he couldn't have acted more suspicious

40:15

if he tried. When

40:17

it came to the final group

40:19

confrontation, six people pointed at Lars,

40:21

five people pointed at Class and

40:24

Class and his wife Lena pointed

40:26

to the sky. Why

40:28

did so many people think Lars did this?

40:31

What did they know that we don't? And

40:34

is it a coincidence that he

40:36

was the victim of a similar

40:39

case of reverse theft in which

40:41

a tiny cow-shaped toddler stool was

40:43

planted on his veranda? And

40:46

then it suddenly dawned on us why

40:48

Class and his wife pointed to the

40:50

sky. Could they have

40:52

been pointing to someone who is in heaven, i.e. dead?

40:56

And could they be pointing to

40:59

Class's father, Reuben? Hang

41:03

on, we are not quite done yet.

41:06

There's one final loose end that I need

41:08

to tie up. It's actually a bit of

41:10

a delicate topic and there's

41:13

a reason I don't have my assistance

41:15

on the call today. You're

41:17

a professional. Yes. And I'm

41:20

a professional. It's

41:23

not necessarily legal advice, but it's

41:25

more like a professional to a

41:27

professional advice. Sure. Yeah, happy to

41:29

help. The headline is that my

41:32

assistants are underperforming at work

41:34

just to let you know what they

41:37

were doing in those four hours at

41:39

this professional event. Karen basically spent the

41:41

whole time flirting. Helen came in to

41:43

the party and went straight for the

41:46

food table and then proceeded to spend

41:48

the whole four hours eating and drinking.

41:51

And this is not a word of

41:53

a lie. One hour of her recording

41:55

was talking about small ghost tartan.

41:57

One hour talking about the different layers.

41:59

in the cake and then probably

42:02

half an hour about these tiny strawberries that

42:04

you can find in Sweden. When I

42:06

had to hear her chewing, I had to

42:08

hear her gulping, I had to hear her

42:10

taking cigarette breaks. She did everything except interrogate

42:13

suspects. Wow, okay. Knowing

42:15

that I'm a little bit on the outside because they're in

42:17

a relationship, how should I raise this with

42:20

them? I'm glad you've come to me

42:22

about this because obviously I deal with

42:24

these sorts of professional issues all the

42:26

time. I think what you need to

42:28

do is schedule a private confidential

42:31

conversation with them. That'd be kind

42:33

of step one. Yeah,

42:35

I just wanted to have

42:37

a quick chat with you too, following

42:41

listening through the midsummer microphones.

42:43

Yep. This isn't an easy

42:45

conversation to have. And

42:48

then I think during the meeting, I would

42:50

adopt what I call

42:52

a passive aggressive tone. So passive aggressive

42:54

tone is good because you can be

42:57

kind of passive in the sense that

42:59

it's a reassuring environment. It's not to

43:01

accuse a tree, but then you can

43:04

also be aggressive, which I think is

43:06

really what is needed here. So it's

43:08

a great combo actually, that

43:10

passive aggressive tone. Helen,

43:13

essentially you walked in and

43:15

started eating. You started drinking

43:17

and you asked to sample multiple

43:19

beers and Karen, you

43:22

flirted with every suspect that

43:24

we had. The thing is that

43:26

flirting, it's just like such

43:28

low level detective work. Look, if

43:31

you're bringing the tractor, what happened in front of the

43:33

tractor, I do have regrets about that. Was that the

43:35

child that you took away? Yeah, it was not okay.

43:37

Especially when you bring children into it and they're my

43:40

family. This

43:42

is my interrogation space. I'm going to put my beer

43:44

on the wheel of a tractor. How

43:46

old are you? 18. Do

43:50

you think this is a good space in front of this

43:52

tractor? Is it quite intimidating to have a little chat? It's

43:55

quite calm. You can't?

43:58

Yeah. What if I stand a bit close to you like this and start and

44:00

start slowly moving towards you. And

44:03

you're backing away like that. Shall

44:05

I do that to class? Do you think that will get a confession? Yeah.

44:09

Okay, well that's all I wanted to ask you. I can

44:11

return you to the party now. So just going in. Just

44:14

expand your skills here. You can do more than

44:17

be a flirt. That was

44:19

intimidation. That's not flirting. You can touch him, did you?

44:21

No, I didn't touch him. I just stood for any,

44:23

I got a bit close. So

44:25

weird. That's so weird. I

44:28

remember seeing you shuffling off up the road to

44:31

go and talk to him next to the tiny strawberries. I

44:34

remember thinking, what on earth is

44:36

she doing? I was uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable when

44:38

I was just a bystander. He was good at

44:40

finding the tiny strawberries, wasn't he, that guy? No,

44:42

that was Lars. That was the old dad. Oh,

44:45

is that someone else? That's the thing. It's all

44:47

you know about Helen because that's all you were

44:49

focused on was the sandwich keg layers. And

44:52

then what I think you want to do,

44:54

and this is particularly good in a passive

44:56

aggressive way, is

44:58

sort of ask questions to encourage

45:01

self-reflection. Hey, Karen,

45:03

when you were heading on

45:05

all the suspects, you

45:07

know, was that probably the best way

45:09

to get a confession from them? And

45:12

you know, really lead them to it, you know?

45:15

You know, Helen, what

45:17

would you have done differently other than eat

45:20

food the entire time? Helen,

45:24

if you have, you know, four servings of

45:26

breakfast, do you really think it's necessary to

45:28

then, you know, progress to the professional party

45:30

and immediately go for the snacks table? But

45:33

yeah. What, how did you think

45:35

your behaviour was in that party, Helen? I

45:37

would say the low

45:40

point was probably chatting to the sheep.

45:42

Well, exactly. The other

45:44

thing that I don't find very professional when

45:46

you know you're being recorded is you two

45:48

having some sort of like lovey marriage kind

45:51

of moment where you kind of kiss and

45:53

make weird noises. I don't

45:55

ever want to hear that

45:58

ever again. I

46:00

am... Yum.

46:04

Keep me in joy. You

46:07

got anywhere? No, you. Yeah,

46:09

the dead father. The...the danku.

46:12

And...just, um... this is interesting,

46:14

isn't it? Of course it's

46:16

interesting. Both, um... We're eating sandwich cake

46:18

made of cream cheese. God knows what. I

46:20

don't want to be listening to that. Ha

46:22

ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'm

46:25

sorry, but you're in this too deep. You're not going to

46:27

get out of it. Yeah, I'll start over your relationship. You've

46:31

been promoted to our third wheel.

46:33

Congratulations. So all I

46:35

ask is for us to just listen and learn and

46:37

change. Yes?

46:43

Will you do that? I

46:46

can hear you there. Stop ignoring me. Coming

46:49

up next. Then I think

46:51

we need to look at that person

46:53

a bit more to see whether they pose a risk

46:55

in the future. The worrying thing is that they wait

46:57

10 years. They can wait another 10 years and do

46:59

it again. OK, why don't you listen to what I've

47:02

got to say for once? We

47:04

walk in there and we say we've got you. We've

47:06

cracked the case. Do

47:08

you want us to explain to you

47:10

how we've cracked it or do you want to just own up now? I love this. Yeah, I

47:12

like it. See?

47:15

Get inside. How

47:17

do you explain yourself? You just blatantly

47:19

lying to us. Did you

47:21

leave the suit on Christina's

47:23

veranda? And just

47:25

breathe. Just taken the

47:27

surroundings and breathe. Ready
