But if we didn't go
to the edges of darkness
we wouldn't be able to find out
why terrible things happen,
would we?
And if there is no answer
as to why,
well, at least
we can try and stop it
next time.
♪
How can I even begin to sum up
the incredible force of nature
that was Ada Blunt?
I can tell you
that she helped people.
Because she had this
dogged determination
to seek out the truth,
no matter what the cost.
She was a razor-sharp,
martini-loving,
incomparable powerhouse,
and I was so lucky
to have her in my life.
But all good things
and all good people
must come to an end.
♪
What are you doing?
This is silly.
But, erm, when I was little,
Ada used to hide
secret messages in in
like, shoe boxes
and old magazines and stuff.
And I would
Err, I would use 'em
to find a prize,
which was usually
a slightly sad boiled sweet.
Hmm.
Looking for a goodbye?
Her death was just so sudden.
-You know?
-Yeah.
Like, unexpected.
Shall we
Shall we get you home?
The movers
can pack all of this up,
and then at home, you can
look through it properly.
Hm.
Mrs Lancaster:
What are you doing in my room?
Oh, Mrs Lancaster.
Erm, this isn't your room.
Your room's across the hall.
Come on. Er, let me help you.

Here we are.
There it is.
That's how I know it's my room.
Follow the painting.
Tuppence:
Good idea. It's lovely.
-It's special, isn't it?

It's come with me
everywhere I've lived.
It's very Hansel and Gretel.
Oh, it has its secrets.
That's for sure.
Wait. You're
You're Tuppence, aren't you?
Yes. Yes, I am.
And you're Mrs Lancaster.
Ada's friend.
Jane Lancaster. That's right.
You don't want to go back
downstairs, Mrs Lancaster?
Jane: Oh, no.
I prefer being up here
surrounded by memories
of better times.
Oh, my goodness!
Is that you?
Jane: My heyday on stage.
Waterlily. Wow!
Sorry.
Would you sit with me a moment?
Of course I would.
[ Chuckles ]
Jane: Hm.
I see you're looking
at the fireplace.
Was it your poor child
in the chimney?
-No. Erm
-Jane: I thought perhaps
you came for that reason.
Tuppence:
Are you okay, Mrs Lancaster?
I told them what I knew.
But it was such
a long time ago, you see.
But they wouldn't listen to me.
Packford: Ah! Mrs Lancaster.
There you are.
I think it's time
for a little bit of quiet.
Don't you?
It's been a very busy day.
Thanks for checking in.
'Course. Sorry.

She does gets, er, very confused.
So I'll take it from here.
Thank you.

Julius: Wait.
You're saying Ada was a spy?
Well, we could say that, but
then we'd have to shoot you.
[ Laughter ]
There was this one case,
which was maybe MI6,
the one with
the Italian diplomat.
Yeah, and the handler
kept calling her Dame Shirley
the entire time.
What did she do with them?
Albert: Gathering intel.
Think she was shagging him, too.

loads of nice wine.

I thought it was nice!
Nice sausage rolls and
a couple of those sandwiches.
I thought you did well!
Well, I was eyeing up
the smoked salmon.
Yeah. Did you not have any?
Tommy: No, because
that woman ate about 20
Tuppence: [ Laughs ] Oh, my God!
I was gonna ask you about her!

A confused older woman

"I can't be sure."
And then it goes
"Increasingly worried
about Mrs Lancaster."
She's not safe.
I must ask Tommy and Tuppence
"Tommy and Tuppence."
To find out more
about the painting.

Mrs Lancaster said
something to me yesterday.
It was really odd.
I didn't mention it because
I thought she was just confused.
Something about Ada?
No.
She said, "Was it your
poor child in the chimney?"

about how no one believed her.
It was

I wasn't on duty.
Did they leave an address?
Do you have their number?
There's just something we'd
really love to speak to her about.
Look, I'm very sorry,
but I'm afraid
I can't tell you anything else,

We have to make sure
she's alright.

Tommy, Ada asked
for our help. Remember?
Like she wanted us
to look into the painting.
Maybe
Maybe it's this one.
Wait! You can't just steal that!
It doesn't belong to them,
does it?
It was, like,
special to Lancaster.
Maybe there's a clue in here
as to where she's from.
It might not even be
a real place.
Just hold it for a second.

But responsibly.
Tuppence: Please!
-I'll babysit.
-Well, it's no good to me

or whatever it is you do.
Two weeks.
Deal.
Go on, then.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks so much.

Did your mum help with that?
Yeah.
And I myself am a wizard!

Is that why you broke in?
We have, erm

Well, lots of people
have paintings of this house.
Hideous chintzy numbers
that they put in their B&B's.
No offence.
Look. The house is empty.
It has been for years.
Tommy: Who owns it?
Oh, a Sir Philip Starke,
technically, but, err
he has no use for it,
so it's, err
-Just sitting there?

Why keep up the garden?
Yeah. The roses.
They're award-winning.
Look.
Right before you go.
Take one of these.

No. But come on. There was
a flicker, wasn't there?
When she saw the painting.
It It means something to her.
Or maybe the artist does.
Okay. Tomorrow

about Lancaster.
Maybe he's connected
to the crime.
Woman: Right. Come on.
Closing time, folks.
Cutting-off time.

All those years.
I suppose
it never gets any easier.

just solve it
after over 35 years?
I saw the memorial tree.
Susan. Was she your?
She was my sister.
I Actually I don't
want to talk about it, so
M-My aunt passed away recently.
Erm, and before she died, she
she was really worried
about a friend of hers,
Jane Lancaster.
She thought that this friend
knew something, right,
about a terrible crime
that happened many years ago.
And it was her painting
that's led us here.
And perhaps it's this crime.

was questioned, harassed,
whispered about.
Boscowan?

No. I just I can't.
I can't sleep.
It's just all too
Tommy: I agree.
Bloody uncomfortable, though.
[ Tuppence sighs ]
Can I just clarify?
We're thinking that the thing
that Lancaster said
about "your poor child."
Like, that is connected
to what happened
to these children, right?
Surely. I mean, it has to be.
Okay. Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Okay. So I was thinking.
Maybe
Maybe she saw something
back then,
but then she moved away,
which is why no one
seems to remember her.
-Mm-hmm.
-Tommy: Then she gets older.
She gets put into a care home.
And she starts to,
you know, lose it slightly.
And you know
what people are like.
People don't listen
to little old women.
Yeah.
I mean, more fool them.
But Ada did.
Tommy, if we find Mrs Lancaster,
we might find
who killed those kids.
Wow. Yeah.
They deserve justice.
We're gonna get it for them.
Can you please maybe just get
into the bed for a little bit?
Why?
Are you scared?
But I thought
you were a Girl Guide?

Sorry. Tommy
You gotta stop doing this.
-No, no, no. Sorry.

sort of indecision game
is not cute, you know?

-That's not what I'm trying
You chose Julius.
You chose America.
You chose him. Okay?
-Yeah.
-And I am being really good about that.
I know. I'm really grateful.
This is not what I'm doing.
Do you know,
this is just like before.
-It's just like at uni.
-Tommy. Please.
You have this ability
to just mess me around.
What?
I told you how I felt
about you back then.
I told you I loved you.
And you just left, ignored me.
No, that's just
That's not what I
-I couldn't say it.
-You couldn't say it back.
Yeah, I got that bit.
I got that
I definitely got that bit.
And now you come
crashing back into my life.
You make me think
that something might happen.
And now you're waltzing
straight back out of it
-like it's a fucking joke.
-No! That is just not fair!
That's not what happened!
Tommy, I was gonna say it
back to you back then.
I was in love with you.
I was gonna tell you that.
And then [ Sighs ]
Yeah, and then you're
forgetting, like, one
really, really important detail.
Because you don't like
to be the bad guy.
-Stop.
-And that's that you
replaced me
really fucking quickly.
So please don't tell me
that you were heartbroken.
[ Sighs ]
You know, I don't think
we actually know each other
as well as we think we do.
-Maybe you're right.

err, why that house?
Is there something special
about it?
Did you used to live there?
No. No. It was, err
It was always Julia's.
Fucking hell.
Oh, it's criminal
the way they've let it
just sit there unloved.
Apart from Amos' roses.
They're not his.
They were Julia's,
her pride and joy.
I get the feeling
that maybe the house
wasn't so much the muse,
as Julia was?
Well, you know how it is.
Course of true love
never did run smooth.
What happened?

-Woman: Hello.
Tuppence: Oh. Hello.
Are you here
for the Halloween party?
I'm afraid it doesn't
start for a while.
-Tommy: Hi.
-Tuppence: Err, hi. No.
Halloween party in a church?
Isn't that a bit sacrilegious?
Nonsense.
I put on an All Hallow's Eve
party every year.
I plan and organise
the whole thing myself,
of course.
Get the community together.
Very important.
Err, may I ask what we are doing
then in my quiet little parish?
Yeah, we are looking
for a Mrs Lancaster.
Lancaster? Erm, no.
Not Not a Lancaster here.
Sorry. You must be mistaken.
Oh, we're hoping to find her
because we're
we're looking into the
disappearances of the children.
After all these years?
Their families deserve
to know the truth.
I assure you,
I know that more than most.
I am from Sutton Chancellor.
I remember it well.
Those of us of a certain age
all do.
But giving fragile people
false hope,
it's a terrible thing to do!
Err, yeah, we, erm
I just suppose
we just wanna help.
Yeah.
But my advice would be to leave
and don't cause any more harm.
Now, I've got a lot to do.
-Whoa.
-Blimey.

Thanks.
That vicar was fun.
Yeah. She has a point.
We're wading into something deep.
-You need a costume.
-Oh!
[ Laughs ] Thank you, Hetty.
The witch's legs for you.
-Thank you!

Tommy: Hee-hee.
Yeah, I mean, Tommy, look.
We're wading in
because we're trying to help.
And, I mean,
her trying put us off
is honestly a bit suspicious.
I mean, maybe she should
go on the suspect list.
Suspect for what, though?
The missing children or
or taking Lancaster?
I just
Where are we even
at with this investigation?
[ Sighs ]
I don't think I wanna keep going.
Tuppence:
What, because we argued?
No, Tommy. Come on. We
We have to finish this properly.
Together.
I mean, remember
what you said last night.
We have to get them justice.
Okay. Our leads, right?
-We have the painting.
-Tommy: Hm.
We have a drunken artist
an affair, a dead woman
a very passive-aggressive vicar,
and a big, beefy gardener.
We have three missing children
and a missing Mrs Lancaster
who was taken by a phantom
who no-one seems to know
around here.
I mean, unless they're all lying
and covering up
for a child murderer.
Which, to be honest,
I'm not really gonna rule out.
Look at them.
-What?
-Tommy: "Look at them"?
Look at you.
Stop it.
You've got them on, as well.
Yeah, but yours look ridiculous.
Oh, this is such a tricky one.
Could really, really use
Ada. I know.
Tommy, she believed in us.
We can do this.
For her.
We just need to start
connecting the dots.
There's a link here somewhere.
We just need to find out
what that is.
Oh, my God. Tommy.
This is our link.
Sir Philip Starke.
Julia Starke's husband?
Yeah. And Boscowan's rival.
And Amos' boss.
A-A-And he would have
been here at the time.
What if him pointing
the finger at Boscowan
is not about revenge?
No, but about diverting
from his own guilt.
Okay. Let's go.
Tuppence: Yep.

Tuppence: Wow.

the other house was haunted.
Come on.

Oh, my gosh, Tuppence.

that took Mrs Lancaster!
That old woman at Sunny Ridge,
she wasn't talking nonsense.
She meant the car!
Right. So that means it was him.
Philip. He took Lancaster.
Which means
that she could be in there.

So how do we get her out?
Ada:
There are some cases that test
the mettle of any investigator
forcing you further
into the darkness
searching for answers that
have been buried for decades.
The thing is, the guardians
of those secrets
will do anything
to keep them that way.
After all,
evil very rarely works alone.
They're here.
