and breaks them.
That's how you're supposed to do Pop.
You have to do that.
Hey, Maniac.
Hey, Midsummer Maniac.
Yeah, Midsummer Maniacs is a comedy recap podcast
dedicated the mystery TV show Midsomer Murders.
Each week, we dig into an episode of the show,
including the murders, the mayhem, the loonies, and everything else we love.
This week, Midsomer Murders Episode three Season 24 Claws Out.
I'm Mark.
We've been forgetting to introduce ourselves.
I'm Sarah Claus out here.
This is another.
It's the pet episode.
Village that has, like, a theme of stuff going on.
If you let your chat. Should cause anybody to move away.
If you let your children practice feline seduction,
I should not be listening to the boss.
No, because they've got other problems that you should probably.
You shouldn't be listening.
Dealing with that child, producing female felines.
The phrase feline.
Seduction, the.
Phrase feline seduction should not be uttered anywhere.
Ever.
You know, I looked it up and that's what they call it in the UK.
Okay, they're wrong. Cat seduction.
That's what they call it.
Before we dive in, though.
Boy, there's a lot of good TV on right now.
Yeah, we've been watching some stuff this week
that we thought we would just give you a little heads up about,
see if there's something you're interested in. Maybe you should check it out.
We finished Fargo season five.
Fargo is not for everybody.
It's weird.
It's got some heavy points in it.
I'd really like to see.
But I really liked. It.
I really liked it also.
And I'd love to know what Europeans think of that
because it is a very peculiar lens of America.
Yeah, Yeah.
Kind of feeds into some stereotypes about, well, that's what Americans are like.
They're Midwest Americans with all their guns and stuff.
Well, it was.
Not all like that. Promise It was fantastic.
The last episode just came on last week and we enjoyed it immensely.
Yeah. So it was fun.
We also checked out the first episode of Missus Spade.
Yes. So this is Sam Spade in France in the sixties.
With Clive Owen. Yes.
And I'll say you got to stick with it.
The first episode, they feel like you don't really have to explain anything
or who anybody is.
You'll just psychically figure it out.
And I'm about halfway through.
I'm like, I don't know. There's a lot.
But then it got jumped. It got a lot better.
There's a lot of time jumping that you have to pay attention to.
Yeah.
And the second thing is like when you read Dashiell Hammett, Sam Spade books,
there's one book which is The Maltese Falcon and several short stories.
And when you're reading any Dashiell Hammett,
which I read a bunch of in college now just after college,
you have that moment of this is awfully purply, right?
You his.
Is prose is kind of corny, but then you get into it and you're like, okay.
You get used to it.
And his Clive Owen's dialogs are a bit
purply to begin with, but it grows on you.
My recommendation is stick with it for the full episode.
Yeah. If you make, you'll make it to the end.
If you stick with it and you'll be glad you did.
When you get to the end of the episode, then you're like, Then I was hooked.
Yeah, but I had to turn it.
It's is super good. Yeah.
If I turned it off in the middle of the episode, I would have been like, Why?
Plus, if you're this kind of person, you'd see Clive Owen.
But we also watched the first episode of the new season of True
Detective, which has Jodie Foster in it.
Okay, so it's.
True Detective is another one.
It's a little weird.
Yeah, a little dark, but it's it's really good.
But this is set in Alaska during the period of time
when the sun doesn't come up, So you never know what time it is.
Never.
And it's always dark and it's always weird.
I'm like, it's it's the long dark, which is the video game that I play.
That is a weird video game, but it is a television show.
And I, I enjoyed it immensely.
I like dark, snowy things.
You're so Canadian. I know,
but I liked it.
I'm eager to see what happens.
It's very. It's intriguing.
It is.
It is off the beaten path.
Yeah.
And it's another one that if you make it to the end of the first episode,
you're out. Yeah, I would. I would.
There's a lot of world building going on in the first episode and a show like that.
They managed to put True Detective and kind of the first 15 minutes of the thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Another show that's all in the dark.
Yeah, in the cold, in the snow.
Completely different.
We started watching season four of Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
I saw somebody online said they summed up this entire season
with If these two don't end up in bed by the end, I'm out.
It's kind of that point.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's like, you know kiss her or be done.
But I thought this week's episode with the Undertakers was very good.
I do like it.
And we started watching the most recent season of All Creatures, Great and Small.
Which is. It's just so.
Good. It's a palate cleanser.
Yes, with animal bits.
If you can get over the occasional animal surgery.
Yeah, it's maybe not a dinner show.
To watch hiring dinner,
but otherwise it's a really feel good show. But.
But it's like the Larkins with a little more gravitas.
Yeah, because there's a war going on and everything, but you don't see it.
It's elsewhere at this point. Yes, I try.
I try not to constantly compare myself to the older brother.
my God. You're nothing like Christensen.
I'm not.
Kristen's the younger brother. I'm. I'm.
I've turned into that person.
No, he's an old.
Dog's around looking for my tobacco.
You're not like that.
Okay, so, Mr. Spade.
Fargo, True Detective. Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
All creatures. Great and small.
All recommendations you should check out.
And if they're up your alley.
Thank you for tuning in to listen to us talk about this episode,
because there's lots for you to watch and listen to out there.
And we appreciate all of you taking the time.
Thank you so much for listening. Absolutely.
We love you all.
So the original air date of this was the 18th of December,
which is a month ago, 2023.
Before you go on with that.
Yeah. Spoiler.
Yeah, we're going to spoil it. Yes.
It's a brand new episode.
Season 24 Episode three If you haven't seen it, stop right now.
We're going to ruin it.
We're going to say who the killer is.
Killers before go listen to the many.
Watch the episode,
then come back because you put out a mini episode for this back in December.
And once again, if you're in England, we're sorry.
Yeah, we're going to spoil it.
And I'm I'm sorry if you haven't been able to see it yet, but it's.
It's so tough.
I get people all the time from all over the world message me
on social media saying, When are we going to get this in there?
I wish we knew.
I wish I wish you all could have it today.
Yeah.
And I wish there was a reliable source where we could actually find out
when it was going to air everywhere because we'd tell you.
Yeah, but they don't actually tell us anything we ask.
They don't tell us No.
And it's not like we are not ACORN.
No, we're not.
We're not affiliated with ACORN or ITV.
Yeah, Yeah. So this just came out.
This is a brand new.
Episode directed by Paul Gibson, written by Helen Jenkins.
In the mini episode, we had ten watch
Like a Maniac Questions, Things for You to Look for.
So as we talk about the episode, we will point out the answers
to those questions.
Some of them may be controversial.
Yes, I would agree.
We've got some familiar faces. boy.
Josette Simon, who plays Madeline Saunders in this one of the killers.
She was also in season nine, episode eight of Midsummer.
Last year's model.
Yes. Charlie Kondo, who plays Perry Fleming.
The other killer, was also in an episode
of Midsummer Season eight, Episode four Battling Boy.
And last but not least, Duncan Preston, who plays William Fleming,
the neighbor, was in season two, Episode three Dead Men's 11
so we've got a few people returning some similar faces.
Yeah, well, there's only six actors in England, so somebody's got to return.
Well, and two thirds of the returning actors are killers.
And Salena Caddell shows up out of nowhere, dies,
doesn't be a dead body, and then leaves apparently were quite funny last year.
This is
it's rare for there to be two killers in a midsummer.
I think this episode is less bonkers and more well written.
I think it's actually a well-written story.
I'm not going to say the last episode wasn't well-written.
Yeah, this is a well-written episode too, and that is slightly less bonkers.
It's still very.
Much Last episode was bonkers.
Bonkers. Yeah.
All right.
We start right off the bat with something bonkers.
A heat seeking drone.
Yes. This heat seeking drone.
Drone still working well in midsummer.
So looking for drop knives on your dog.
Yeah.
So but it's got heat vision.
I'm going to talk about something here.
That's what we do on podcast. Okay.
I need to talk about a character who I constantly refer to as third Wheel.
Okay.
Reese is a mixed up child.
So Reese is William Fleming's grandson, Perry's son.
He has the heart of Madeline Son.
Addison. Yes.
In this chest transplant.
And he's the one stealing dogs. Yes.
He's also in the parties searching for dogs.
Yes, he is horrific.
He is driven insane by being a third wheel.
He has some mixed motives.
Every time they mention the trip to Canada,
I just see him in the corner going, I don't.
Care.
Can I go to Canada to carry through?
So he's part of the rescue party, along with
Frank Bailey, who is the pet detective. Yes.
And his wife, Kim.
You mean Ace Ventura now.
So he's last pet detective.
He's anything but Ace Ventura. Okay.
So they find the dog, but they give out coordinates.
Yeah, on the especially on the drone footage.
You see coordinates at the top of the screen? Yes.
So someone on the read it this week
said, Hey, this show has Easter eggs.
Yeah.
To which I said, Boy, do we have a podcast for you.
Yeah.
I don't even bother to write them down.
Yeah, we're watching the episode because I know you're all over it.
So the coordinates are 51 degrees,
31 minutes north, 51
and zero degrees, 51 minutes west.
Where is that? That is located?
Let's see.
It is north west,
Well, almost completely west of London.
It's about 75 to 100 miles
west of London, near a place called Rebecca as well.
So if you search for Rebecca as well, you'll find it.
But it's near a road.
And I saw the name of this road and I'm like, we need to speak about this road.
That's the road called Crazy Hill.
Now, it's not crazy is possessive.
Hill It's like multiple crazies.
These are A-Z.
Yes. So it's plural.
Crazy World, Crazy Hill.
If you or someone you know live near crazies.
Hill please let us know.
I would relish putting that on my address.
I really.
Please petition Bloomington to change the name of our road.
To Crazy said we live on. A hill.
It could be crazy.
How easy.
Is that? Not the best name place ever.
And so much easier to spell than our street name.
Yeah, I'm not going to say what it is in case people decide to stalk us, so
nobody would do that. But yeah, crazy.
It is a. Because.
It is a field.
It is near
where the other map shows it's really near.
So they picked coordinates that were approximately right.
Yeah. It's that's good.
It's near Wargrave and lower ship lake.
Okay.
As opposed to Ship Lake which is further down the River Thames.
So this is all absolutely midsummer and it's near Henley.
There's a ton of filming that gets done for the show in Henley on Thames.
Well, if I was a dog and I was going to go run away
and get stuck in that culvert, I would definitely head for Crazy.
Crazy.
That's where you start.
Yeah.
You know, you got to go up near Rebecca as well on crazy to.
Turn left or you see that culvert that has a dog trapped in it.
Then take a right at the heat seeking drone.
You'll find it They.
Couldn't see in that culvert just saying.
now you're getting all technical.
You don't think a heat
seeking drone can see through concrete or aluminum or whatever it is.
So I did also notice there was an elevator there.
Do you know? And an elevator. Is like a grain elevator.
No, I don't know.
It's the it's a hay elevator.
What? yeah, it's like a crane.
It's like a giant ramp you put up to the top part of the hayloft.
And you load it, and it's like a big conveyor belt that carries the
hay bales up. Yes, it's run by the tractor.
Yeah. I've had to climb up them.
They're not safe
to get into the barn
to then spend hours moving hay off of them.
I hate that you. Had to climb it.
You couldn't just ride up. Okay?
All it has is like a chain with little teeth on.
that. Pulls the bale.
okay.
I thought it had, like, a belt on it. No, but you just said.
It's not a belt, so it's a metal chair.
If you let those teeth dig into your ass, you could have let it carry you up there.
But otherwise you have to climb.
It's a metal chain on a metal train, crane
platform type thing in our guest.
it's a little hot and it's a little loud.
I bad and plus so, like, you're going up into the hay now
and unless it's secure on the hay Mao opening, it wobbles.
It becomes a teeter totter. that's awesome.
Yeah. So.
So unless you actually secure it to the opening of the barn. Yes.
Like with some, like, little l brackets or something.
No, no.
It just moves all over.
They just push it until it goes in the hole.
And then you send your child up.
And our kids complain.
Come on. Voice of experience.
They got nothing to complain about.
So they find the dog.
There's a rescue party.
And of course, they mention that there's a dinner that night
at the tender kitchen where Frank is going to get a hero award
for all the dogs that he is, our cats that he's found.
I have two problems with the tender kitchen.
The first problem I have with the tender kitchen
is I'm not eating tender free and food, and I want them now.
Yeah. So it made me very hungry.
The second thing I have is did you notice on the sign
that it says, Enjoy our dog friendly garden?
No. Okay. I didn't notice that.
Included in their dog friendly garden, if you recall,
is a giant cage where they keep their dog.
That is not a dog friendly carpet.
Well, that's just where Storm stays when she's put up.
I guess. What?
I don't like about the tender kitchen is the person who karate chops the poppadoms.
Did you see that? That's how you're supposed to do pop.
The hand that comes out
and breaks them.
That's how you're supposed to do pop. You have to do that.
You can just take one and break it on your plate.
You know, you do the karate chop.
I've never seen anybody do that.
I looked it up.
People say that it's done.
I've never seen it. wow.
The next time we get Poppadoms, which should be tonight, but
we have a do to go to.
You're going to karate chop them.
Maybe we can have Indian tomorrow night.
Yeah, maybe. Yeah.
Sarah's needlessly trying to train Patti to do dog agility.
All he wants to do is run away.
Yeah, this is one of the things.
So they have a platform that he's supposed to run up and a dog tunnel.
Did you see what else they had?
But don't mention one of those sets of poles that you're supposed to go through.
yeah, back and forth. But, but they don't have the.
Pole data on the. Whole thing.
So they've used other things, including a pitchfork from a Satan costume.
You use what you got.
Use what you got.
Then we see a sign about missing cat, and we are launched into our first
watch like a maniac question in which we really don't have an answer.
Well, there's a couple of things.
So the question is what village does this take place in? Yes.
And this is controversial now.
Yeah, because there's three it could be the flier
for the dog Agility contest and fundraiser for bowel cancer.
So literally says it's.
Going to happen on the Village Green of Benwell.
Yeah. Okay.
However, these are all day appropriate dates by the way for 2023.
I checked them. All nerd
however.
Podcast.
On the missing cat poster it says Greater Canis.
Yeah.
And later when we see the arbitration paperwork for William Fleming
and Frank about their five foot deviation in their fence, it says greater canes.
Yeah.
So we don't really know where.
We don't know where we are.
I think they tried to be clever
with the name of the town and calling it Great Canis.
Like dog.
Like cane is like canine.
Yes. And the producer went, no, it's been well.
We see a village sign for Panama at one point.
Yeah, we see a village. Maybe they're really close together.
So, I don't know.
Maybe Greater Canes is the Hardy
type part of village, because William and Frank share
a fantastic Tudor revival house that is gorgeous
compared to the little semi-detached that Madeleine lives in.
He was supposed to get a whole bunch of money for selling his tech company.
And they live on the river too.
Why did they not have a detachable house?
A detachable house?
They do.
It's a trailer in the backyard, detached house.
I think even half of that house would probably cost
you many millions of dollars.
It fronts right on to the river.
But they don't have a long boat.
Yes, they do.
Know the next door neighbor Frank.
Doesn't. Frank doesn't.
So can I just say that I think Frank is a bad pet detective.
Okay, Because.
We get this montage of all of the missing posters
of the cats, the dogs, gerbils, the parrots, the ferrets.
Everybody's pets are being stolen.
Lorna is a cat seducer and resells purebreds on the dark web.
All of the red ribbons should go right to those two people.
And Frank hasn't figured it out.
And I have a problem with Frank's character.
Frank cheated on his first wife, did homophobic slurs.
I do.
I missed that the first time on his employees. Yep.
And basically forced people out and bullied.
Them.
In the first 5 minutes of this episode.
And this is a show that is good at this.
Good about it. Yeah. Okay.
We don't get Frank bad enough.
No, all.
He does is make a kind of offhand remark.
Which about a dead brother.
A dead brother that she freaks out about.
Like, that's not enough.
He should be shown as more of a horrible person.
One of his neighbors is one of the thieves, and he doesn't know it.
He's a bad pet detective.
He's a very bad, bad detective with a beautiful house.
So the missing pet montage that you mentioned before
has some interesting names on it.
Sleepy, Sleepy, The cat Storm.
Yeah. Ben Cat.
Ben Cat. Yes. Did you see Ben? Cat?
yes. The cat's name is Ben.
God, Big cat.
That's like trash cat. By and Katie.
Ben Cat.
It's like Ben.
Man and Lola.
Lola. That's not a bad name.
So let's do this year.
Pet names.
Yeah.
Okay.
We can agree that Bin Cat is a bad pet name, though.
It's kind of. Funny, though.
It might be like the most Indian name.
Or maybe they rescued the cat from a trash can.
Could be. It's better than trashy and.
We're not making fun of.
The garbage care.
Of you or your naming of your. Pet.
Mercer, You are all brilliant people who have wonderful names for your pet.
If we happened to mention as a bad name, one of the names that you've named
your pet, you probably did it for good reason.
And we have a dog named Olive.
Co-Sponsor of this episode.
And we have the dog we had before.
It was Fanny, too, which everybody does.
In third grade.
Giggles.
And our cat's name is Lucy, which is short for mousy fur. Yes.
If you don't know, Fanny in England is the.
Lady part lady parts.
Here it's more of a tush.
Yeah, more of your. But it's a fanny.
So what criteria can we come up with for not naming pets correctly?
I have never thought that it's a good idea to name pets.
People names like Fred.
Chris.
David. David.
The dog would be so my my friend Vince, the
A his grandparents would always mix up his name and the dog's.
What was the dog's name? Toby.
Which was funny because we had another friend named Toby,
but Toby's a really common dog name in England.
Yeah, and it's not a bad person name.
I can understand now if their dog's name was Spy
and they called him Spy, that would be worth right.
They're both boy names, so it's okay.
But yeah, people, common people names for
I don't like that.
I also don't.
Mary Sue Edna of.
Irene.
Here are too many syllables like Elizabeth.
You can't name a dog. Elizabeth.
I also don't think it's clever when people name their animal
after some overly obvious physical characteristic like Spock,
or like you've got a black and white cat and you name it Oreo or Domino
or something. B More creative than that.
I also think you should not name your cat.
You're your animal anyhow.
Animal something you can't yell and.
Something you can't. Yeah.
Ben got.
Or a name that would confuse the animal like go away.
Yeah. Give here, go away.
You obviously can't do that.
But like this, sir,
which may be a completely appropriate name for that animal.
But stay.
That would be the worst dog name ever.
Stay. Come here.
All right.
You're just talking about names to torture an animal.
That's how to poorly train your animal.
I don't know about sleepy, Sleepy
storm Doesn't strike me as a is a Lola.
I don't like.
Lola's. Okay.
It's okay. Well, how do we feel about Patty.
Patty's great name?
I don't mind Patty at all.
It's kind of a slur.
Yeah, that's my problem with it.
Does every house in this episode have a murder board in it
or some sort of crime board? Most okay.
Most of them do, Frank.
Really bothers me.
It's got three big labels on it.
One says missing, one says found and one says evidence.
And they're just spaced around with a bunch of pictures
with red ribbon, red yarn leading to various places on a map.
They should all be pointing to two places Lorna's and Reece's.
That's it.
That's all.
So you can clearly see on his map Ashton Ferry Lane, which I found,
which is north of Henley on Thames, like this is all.
Is crazy Hill is.
Ten feet away from each other.
Mount crazy.
I tell you what kind of geek I am.
I'll tell you I'm like, Those are canal boats, not river parks.
That's that's nerdy.
And yes, I realize a canal boat can go on a river,
but from every canal boat blogger
that I watch, they really don't like being on rivers.
And I would say a riverboat is probably too deep to be in a canal.
Yeah, they need to be shallow.
You could call them both long boats.
So if you wanted to be really nerdy.
So they do two transitions in this episode that are really nice.
I wish they only did one of.
The dog tag. The storm.
The storm transition is.
From the poster to the dog kennel.
Yeah, which is nice. And then they do it again.
I forget where it's in my notes, but they do a transition like that again.
It's like the editor was like, I can do that.
I learned a new trick.
I can do it again.
So Madeline Sanders owns the dog training facility,
which I assume is in Benwell,
where they're going to have, yes, the agility contest.
And she has a daughter, Danielle.
Daniella, is it Daniella? Yes.
Sorry. Daniella.
Who has the worst taste in jeans I've ever seen.
But what else does she love?
Which is another one of our watch.
Like a maniac.
Well, when she's hanging out in her room with her boyfriend and third wheel
dreaming about their trip to Canada that they're not taking third wheel
on, she has a poster on the wall that says unicorns are real. Yes.
So the answer to the question. What.
Does she have other than horrible genes and drugs apparently.
Is unicorn.
Unicorns.
Yeah, I wish she I don't like the drug part of this episode
because it's not in the end, it's not needed. No.
And it's needlessly like it's big city.
It's true crime,
you know,
like, why can't they be selling birds eggs or something?
If it was something like Adderall or something, I could see it.
Yeah, but like, she's a heart.
Like she's dealing hardcore drugs.
Like she owes a debt to a drug dealer. Yeah.
That she's going to big lengths to go.
Mom, I'm bad.
Yeah.
Look how bad I am. I'm really bad. Yes.
And deals drugs, too.
Like her friend's dad. I mean, it's just.
No, it's not her friend's dad.
The husband of her boss.
Yeah. Yeah. And what?
I think they missed a trick here.
So Madeleine is an overbearing mother, to say the least. Yes.
Very controlling.
Okay.
In response to the fact that her son died, Addison died.
And so she wants Daniella to live up to all of her hopes.
Now, wait a minute.
This is Midsummer.
So his previous death must be actually a murder that we have yet to solve.
No, no, He just fell off a hill.
That wasn't the trick. I think they missed. The trick.
I think they missed is that he died because he was trying
to take a selfie and tripped and fell off a cliff. Yes.
So really, Madeleine shouldn't let Daniella even have a phone?
Yeah, I think so. Because she might fall off a cliff.
She might fall off a cliff.
Or do something else while taking a selfie.
If you're really over controlling, you'd be like, no phone.
You might.
You might die taking a picture.
Now, I can imagine. Danielle.
A selfies of her trying to sniff cocaine off the mirror.
While standing on a ledge Looks Mom.
Well, Dad, with a peace sign. Yeah.
Two finger salute.
And third wheel in the background.
Looking sad.
Look, I got a scar on my hairy chest.
I want to listen.
He just wears a stethoscope.
His scars are pretty good. Yeah.
Skin and the scabs on Perry's parents arms are really good.
Yeah, they're good.
They're super. Good. I think they actually scratched them.
And I think they actually gave the actor who plays Reese a scar.
No, they cut him.
They couldn't do that.
No, Sarah, they couldn't do.
Applying a prosthetic on a hairy chest is really difficult to do. Wow.
So they did a great job.
All right, So Shani and Aiden own the tender kitchen.
Their two.
Two children who really want a dog. Do they?
That is their entire situation.
Their reason for existing.
Yes, I the whole episode, I'm like these kids
even exist that they keep talking about our kids are so heartbroken.
They're heartbroken. They're heartbroken. Where are they?
We hear we hear their daughter say something from another room to Aiden.
And then at the very end, when the dog is returned, suddenly they appear blue.
Children run through the through the shot and that's it.
But their house and the dog trainers house are the epitome of Put a dog on it.
Yeah.
Everywhere you look, it's dog stuff.
Madeleine's got a picture of her dog above her fireplace
instead of one of her children.
And then Lorna's house is put a cat on it.
Yeah, well, morning, Scott.
Reasons to have a house like that, we haven't even gotten to launch yet.
And then so.
So the main people, Right.
You've got Frank and Kim
and their nephew Ty, who lives in their neighbors backyard.
Who is William Fleming, his son Perry, and his son Rhys
Perry, who works at the gardening center that's named after the dead kid Edison.
Yes. Why? I don't.
So we talked about this earlier.
We need to name for this.
What was the name that I came up with?
strange bedfellows.
yeah.
Well, you probably want to get this completely connected.
Yeah.
I'm your nephew, and I'm living in the trailer
of your mortal enemies next door neighbor.
Yeah. House like white.
He's supposedly super rich.
Why is he in that house?
Yeah, and I have the heart of that lady's son who died,
and my best friend moved here just to be with her daughter.
Yeah, it's all forced.
Everybody connected in all these weird ways.
Connected?
I'm guessing that Perry started the gardening center, Named it
Allison Addison's after the boy who died because his son has his heart.
And so the governor of him,
I guess it's a nice tribute to a kid who saved your kid's life.
I guess.
I guess the best thing about Lorena
is the picture of her that Frank takes
when she's in her kitchen window threatening him with a knife.
Which is
the proper resolution, as opposed to the picture she looks at online,
which even though was ten years ago, is potato is she.
Super zooms in on Frank at that corporate event picture
and he's just like some pixels I hate those pixels I.
Hate it inside.
Why can't that be like a real photo?
Like it's only ten years ago?
It's not 110 years ago.
It doesn't mean that people didn't email a bad resolution.
Fluor is fantastic.
In this episode. She is so funny.
The first time we see her in the cop shop, she practically throws a file at some
no name cop.
The next.
Desk she.
Cleans and he has to. Catch it.
And we need to get this straight.
Okay.
She is so mean to winter because she completely loves.
yeah. yeah. That she's razzing. It.
There's been people online who is like, She's so mean to winter.
Okay, Winter is little brother.
Yes, she. Is older sister. Yes.
And this is the how it's supposed to be.
It wouldn't surprise me that in the next season
he doesn't razz her back a little bit more. Yes.
Because when she's behind him and pretends that he's a puppy and then hikes
her leg up on the trash can, I just think it's so funny.
And cop shop B, we're in cop shop. Yeah, that's right.
We are. That's what's new about the cop shop.
What's different about it is that it's completely new.
Yes, it's brand new.
Nobody mentions that.
Nobody acknowledges that.
They're just in a completely new space.
They have two maps that are the same ones, a satellite
image of the same map that is on Frank's board.
Also.
Frank owed Fleming his neighbor, $500
because of a fine that Frank was charged for encroaching on Fleming's space.
Now, this is the 17th of May 2023.
And Frank pays the fine in pennies in a.
Wheelbarrow. No wheelbarrow.
You think he's not bad enough?
He's bad. Well.
There's lots of bad stuff that come out later.
Yeah.
What I'm saying is, in the first 5 minutes that Frank is alive,
he saves the dog, receives an award and says a slight.
And then he gets killed.
He needs. To be worse in the first.
Five, But we find out how bad he is after he's dead.
yeah.
And all these people already know how bad it is.
We just don't know yet. It just.
It's not one of those where you're like, That character's so annoying.
I hope they're the one who gets killed.
Do you know what the greatest movie of 1977 was?
No. And why are you bringing it up?
It was dog poo war.
It was what?
Dog poo wars?
Like Star Wars, but with dog poo.
that was out of nowhere. Okay.
They talk about they talk about there was a great dog poo war.
Fleming does say that he that Frank trained his dog to poop in his yard.
Yeah. He goes he trained them to.
In my poop in my yard. Yeah.
And that, that is definitely not a dirty dirty.
But the next episode. Next.
we have the big controversy.
Have the F-bomb.
I am a liar. I'm a drug addict. I'm a horrible person.
I take selfies.
I've mountaintops while standing on one foot.
There's no reason that Ashanti needs to be the first wife of Frank.
No, really. Not. And it's not.
It's more strange bedfellows
and just an excuse for her to look at pictures and have a knife.
Yeah, and it's a cake cutting knife.
It's not even sharp.
You couldn't hurt anybody with that knife.
Flemings yard.
Well, first of all, Fleming and Frank both live in an amazingly beautiful house.
Yes, it's gorgeous. They did it.
Did you know the picture behind Frank's murder board?
The boat? Yeah, the ship.
This gorgeous seascape, put up a murder board right in front of it.
Even the murder board is amazing.
Yeah, It's like this big oak, like the two
best movable classroom chalkboard kind of frame.
We need one of them.
It's gorgeous. Yes, I do.
But, you know, they only show, like, one room of Frank's house,
and it's really the foyer. Yes, that's it.
That's all they show.
I don't know what else is in there, but they walk.
Into our office foyer.
Go no further.
We some thank you notes that proves that we've got we found some dogs.
We have two desks.
But Fleming has a longboat, a riverboat, a canal boat.
And there's a name on that boat.
It's called the Anasazi. The Anasazi.
Which was one of the things we asked about in our watch like a maniac.
It was.
How is Fleming connected to Basket Weavers?
And honestly, the tribe are famous for their baskets.
They.
You have to.
If you have a second, just Google Anasazi basket.
They're incredible. They're amazing.
Yeah.
They made baskets that were so tightly woven
they could carry water in them. Wow.
That's incredible.
And I know they're beautiful.
We've referenced this before.
I watch a lot of long boat content on YouTube.
You do?
I do.
They it seems to be not a trend to name
your boat a stupid name like Americans.
Name their boat.
Yeah. Americans like punny names for. Yeah.
But only sassy.
That's a good name for a classy. Yeah.
And it's a beautiful boat.
Too bad it's a dog prison.
They they also though, rent it out.
So you're the person who rented this boat out.
You come to this super classy house and they're like, the boat is out back.
Come, we'll show it to you.
It's a beautiful boat.
You get in, It's just covered in panic dog hair.
It had to be because Reese
keeps putting the dogs that he steals in there to keep them.
You know what they're going to do?
They're going to freak out, panic, bark like maniacs,
pee everywhere and shoot, shedding air off of themselves.
He must be good at cleaning.
I don't know, because there's just no way.
Lorna, what is the cat seductress that we've talked about?
Right.
She's everything about cats because she's a broken person.
She okay?
She used to be a professor of digital encryption.
She helped Frank found this company that was really technologically advanced.
Now her husband is gone.
So people think because she gets mail for Professor
Lorna McIntyre, she gets mail for Professor Macintosh.
They think she had a husband.
They think she has a She never had got you.
I must I missed that. The first time.
That's sexist.
Yeah, Well, yeah.
Yeah.
So she didn't feed her husband to the cat.
darn.
The sexist. Like in 1977, James Bond movies.
Which you've been watching lately.
But she's fabulous.
I like her so much, even though she's so broken.
And she her house is Put a cat on it.
Yeah, right.
She's got she's even got kitty barrettes in her hair. She has keys.
And she has kitty. Mugs. She has
she has no encryption stuff everywhere.
No, she's not any of that anymore.
And she isn't Mac, which a real programmer doesn't use, but I'm just saying.
Well, it didn't mean to one of our watch like a maniac.
Yeah, because she's learned a macintosh.
On her Mac. Using a mac?
Yes, she's an apple on an apple.
Because Macintosh is a kind of apple. Yes.
They're very good apples.
They are.
She's emotionally broken.
Kind of agoraphobic.
Sort of.
Yeah.
Not very friendly to other people.
She's not mean.
And she's just wants to be left alone.
She's running out of money.
Well, you would. She doesn't work.
And, you know, Frank owes her and isn't ever going to give her what he owes her.
Second episode grower.
Older ladies have bills on their table.
If you were going to seduce a cat, how would you do it?
With witty banter.
would you like a cat?
Leopold?
I was thinking that, like,
if I was Lorna and I wanted to lure all the cats to my yard.
Yeah. the milkshake. Put it out. Milkshakes.
I think I would have, like, some lasers in the backyard.
Like a little laser light show.
Cats can't resist.
Yes. Or, like, balls of.
String or, like, top my fence
with broken bowl breakable stuff that can just be knocked off of it.
Cats can't resist that.
They could climb up there and just knock it off,
and then you could grab them and bring them inside and be like,
You're making this different.
The cats choose the people.
That's right. You don't choose a cat.
Lots of comfy beds and cardboard boxes in the yard.
Cats love those. Things.
the garden center man has consumption.
No, it's just hay fever with blood.
Maybe he's part of the drug dealing.
So they go to the church yard.
With Father Hinton, Father Hinton and the motor bikes in the graveyard.
Before that.
Before that Frank Sacks, wife, Frank's ex-wife and his wife.
Go shiny and.
And they actually have a nice scene where Shaunie wants her dog back.
Yeah, but they go to the cemetery. Okay.
The cemetery has a note board.
Why do all of the animals are missing?
Mark, you have to put the posters up anywhere you can.
And he's everywhere.
Over the poster that you're putting it up?
Yes. Okay.
Did you notice any of the other signs on the. No.
No, I didn't pay any attention, Mark, because I knew that you would.
Well, this is a theme name for a church in this town.
Whatever the name of this town is, they have a new name for church
because they have a sign that says Join us for our Sunday book club.
Is that not church?
That's one.
Book. It says 2 to 3 p.m.
and then it has the best word ever.
Three.
But it's free to be in the book club.
It's free to be in the book club, which is church anyway.
Church is a giant book club.
I'm not making fun, but that's what it is.
You go to church to talk about a book.
I just think if I wandered into this village,
whether it's Greater Cain's or Benwell or Ben Cat or whatever,
if I wander in and the first thing I see is that every flat surface is absolute
lightly covered with missing animal posters, I'm leaving.
Well, what it is, is the beginning.
In the Lost Boys, with all of the.
Lost. Children.
Do you think the milk cartons here have animals?
Are the vampires stealing cats now?
Have you seen me? My name is Whiskers.
That person. That's strange. Yes, they do.
Okay, now
I have a problem with this, she says.
Lorna says she looked out her window and saw somebody strange
taking pictures of her.
Okay.
And then she threatened them with a knife.
Would she not recognize Frank as non.
This helmet. Yeah, the helmet on. Yeah.
And then why would she keep the paper that she ripped up of the lost cat sign.
Why would she keep it.
Why would she crumple it up and put it on the windowsill. Yeah.
So she got distracted by a crazy person in the yard with a motorcycle helmet on.
I'm father had.
I have a name, but no, I. Know
you'll refer to me in the third person. Yes.
So Ty is going to get half of Frank's estate.
Which is going to make the trip to Canada completely different.
So now the house has already split in half.
It's going to have to be split into two.
Half is going to be quarters because Ty is going to get half of the half.
I realize maybe he'll get everything but the foyer.
I realize that Frank's wife, Kim Kim, is under stress.
Yes. Okay.
And I realized that Frank was a bad dude. Yes.
But she makes out like a bandit.
She does.
She even gets the pet detective.
She gets the pet detective.
Puts her own name on the door.
But she has an absolute, absolute point when she says,
Frank said to me that he was going to help his nephew out
and it ends up that he gives him 50% of the estate, Would you not be livid?
That's a little bit more than helping out.
Yeah.
Like, wow.
That's more than I would expect if that's what you told me.
And then you die like that. That person got half.
She has every reason to be upset.
She probably killed him. Yes. No. No.
So they receive a ransom note at 1609
on the 26th of July.
From Sleeper Train.
At electronic mail.
I use proton mail. Neutron mail.
You use neutron mail.
So Lorna's email address is sleeper train.
Well no, because it's, it's all encrypted.
So it's not that.
Because you know her emails Cat lady. Yeah.
Crazy cat like. Crazy cat.
Or crypto cat
That's her new name.
What form of do you think she's going to demand.
It's got to be. Doge, got to be dough.
Just don't use it if you don't know it's a little dog.
It's got to be doge but you, you skipped an important thing.
Jump in there though.
damn it.
Well, two things.
One winter completely betrays his entire age group
by taking a photo of Barbie's phone with his phone.
But I think we're right.
I think it would take longer to explain to Barnaby how to send it to it.
Maybe the other thing that you skipped is the drug deal.
And Aiden's car. Yes.
Where Daniela goes running in her awful pink jeans in the car
and getting money from Aiden, and Aiden opens his glovebox and.
We see the music that Aiden.
Listens, which is one of our watch Like a Maniacs.
It's a best of the eighties CD in his glove compartment.
Absolutely. That CD has my AM on it.
You know it does humanly.
That CD has human.
Culture. Club.
Maybe Queen is on that Maybe.
Yeah it depends.
They get the licensing. Frankie goes to Hollywood.
He goes to Hollywood. Adamant.
Got it. Man.
Got to have got. To matter, man.
No, no, it, baby.
So yeah.
So he's he's paying Daniela for some.
Drinks yet again that the tone of the whole drug thing is weird.
And well and let's be fair here, Danny
So Reese says that he's been stealing dogs and selling them to breeders to get
money to help Daniela pay off a drug debt because she had a big bunch of drugs
to sell, and Madeleine found them and flush them. So.
So Daniela couldn't sell them and pay back the dealer, Right.
So she owes the dealer a bunch of money. Yep.
But I guess this deal.
Which is like a 1980s surf punk song.
Totally.
But I guess this dealer is pretty forgiving because he or
she gives her more supply to sell or she wouldn't have anything to sell.
The aid.
Is just like, give the money back to me eventually.
You know, whenever one dog at a time. Yeah.
So Tye gets killed with a shock collar?
Yes. So there's two parts to this.
We have to deal with the murder itself,
and we have to deal with the Barnaby's house.
So what do you want to do?
First, the crime scene.
Okay, so we do in the crime scene.
So Aiden wakes up with somebody in his trailer, have a nap.
Sorry.
Ty wakes up with someone in his trailer.
Have you never been in a trailer in your entire life?
So they stepped in the trailer.
He would. Know. Yeah.
Unless he's a really, really deep sleeper.
Never mind the fact that that is the most, like,
bad electronic guy on the internet kidnaped.
They say that
the collar gets plugged into the mains instead of the battery.
And I'm like, this is a trailer have mains.
Like I guess if they run it.
An extension cord.
You got an end to it.
But like the wires look like he took his fingers between his.
And twisted and.
Twisted them together.
Like, well, he's not trying to make something safety conscious here.
But it is a murder weapon.
I'll give you that.
He might not have woken up when because it's Perry.
When Perry comes into the trailer, if Perry was light on his feet.
Yeah. And Ty's a deep sleeper.
But I'm sorry.
I would definitely wake up when you put a collar around my neck.
There's no way, because he's under.
Losing the collar.
So he's already got it.
Around underneath his neck.
How did he do that?
And have you ever tried to adjust the sizing of a collar?
When when we have to get of a new collar, it takes like a half an hour to get it
the right size of her neck.
And then it it's like last week putting him in the hole and taking him out
again.
And a shock collar.
It has little contacts on the inside that have to be in contact with your neck
or it won't work.
So it has to fit.
Yeah, it can't be loose. And he can't cough.
He can't do his consumption thing.
No, no, it can't have a hay fever attack.
But we're missing the important part about the murder,
which is Ty has somebody watching over him.
Yes, He has the weirdest knickknack
and trailer decorations ever.
When Flora is looking at the body and.
We have to put a dog on it. Yes.
And we have one. Put a cat on it. House. Yes.
And this is put a ferret on it.
Or I think they're dog.
Military ferret dogs,
which is now the name of the.
Episode when Poor is inspecting the body and Winter
and Barnaby are standing over her behind them.
You see way in the back.
No, they're like three feet away. It's a trailer.
They can't be too far,
but they're like up on little shelves on either side of their heads.
Yeah, there are two dog ferrets dressed
in military uniform, like there's no, like, ceramic.
And there's a. Soldier.
One's a. Soldier one.
Meanwhile, by the way, we'll put it, we have a picture.
Yes, we'll put it in the show notes.
If you have these, please send us big pictures.
If you know if they're dogs or ferret.
Yes. No, please let us know.
Meanwhile, outside.
Everything is. Numbered.
The crime scene investigators have gone. Ha ha.
I mean, they've numbered every blade of grass.
Yes, every chair has a number.
Yes, every cooler has a number. Yes.
And so does a red record player sitting on the table.
It is number nine.
This. Yep. And that was one of our clients.
This is the season of record players.
Yeah. Two out of four episodes.
We have at least two episodes with record player and.
Multiple ones in the last episode. Yeah.
And number 12 is the cooler.
The cooler that's on the ground? Yes.
The retro cooler. Yes, the yellow one.
I love how they completely go well or somebody
a set of keys or tied in lock the door like they give a good explanation.
And that reminds me winter here gives an exceptionally good explanation
of why Daniella could be the killer.
Yeah, it makes complete sense.
Yeah, it fits with everything.
Yeah. And Barnaby goes, No, it's not weird enough for me. It's.
But she's his girlfriend.
Na, na. Na.
Now I get really tired of the scenes
with Daniella and Madeline arguing before that.
We have to finish part two of that night, which is the part of this house.
okay.
So what happened in the start of that scene in the Barnaby House?
Barnaby is sitting at the table, supposedly eating dinner.
And Sarah and they were our floor.
Yeah, They're drunk. They're drunk?
Yeah.
Now, did you see what's on the table? No.
This man has a weird situation because he has a shark to report
that he's he's sitting there reading some document.
Eating charcuterie, eating.
Charcuterie while his wife and her friend are out.
Well, that's nice, because stereotypically,
he'd be eating like Beany when he's out of Cannes.
I'm glad.
He takes care of himself, but there are.
More than four. Types of cheese on. There.
Sara left him a very nice charcuterie board for maybe.
Maybe for cheese.
While Schumer are totally out drinking too much or as absolutely drunk
when she comes in. Too much for one man.
Man, more cheese is always better.
We're overdraft £495 with a limit of £4,000.
Well, you got a limit of £4,000 buying drugs.
Overdraft is a foreign concept to us.
U.S. banks don't have overdrafts.
Now you have a savings account?
Yes. That is also your money that you can dip into if you
if you go over in your checking, they might take you out of your savings
or you have a loan that you go and apply for.
That is separate.
There's no like, well,
if you overspend your checking account, you just owe us a little bit.
It just does not happen here. Yeah.
Madeleine and Danielle's arguments get really old really fast.
I'm going to go with Canada. Really?
Because that Canada guidebook I could not find anywhere.
But of course, I'm searching for a book called Canada with a QR code
on the back and red lettering and suddenly difficult to find.
Someone little difficult to find.
And why is she going to go to Canada now?
Ty's dad, she's going to go on her own.
I guess her in her pink jeans and unicorns are going to go to Canada
to not be a medical student and deal drugs there.
I guess pot legal in Canada.
You're going to make any money.
That's the biggest problem with her.
With her plan.
We find out that Perry and Lorena tried to sue Frank. Yes.
For the business with the business.
And they find that out from some person who emails them from the newspaper.
Yeah.
Like they couldn't just check the archives and read that
they had to get it from a reporter at the Gazette.
But they go to confront Perry at the Garden Center. Yes.
Which has cars.
I think they're planters.
Maybe, But you can buy and put a flower in.
Maybe. So.
They're having a discussion there In a greenhouse?
Yeah.
Walking down either side of a big table that has plants on it.
And we're.
Not paying attention to any. Of this because.
Between them are 3 to 5 blue little cute cars.
Yes. That I think are planters.
They are either Volkswagen bugs, which is or citroens.
Which which so are watch like a miniature question was what bugs are in the door?
What insect is taking over the garden?
Yes, because we were sure
they were VW bugs at first, but now I think they're probably Citroen.
But we could also say then which fruit has taken over
starting center because Citroen is French for lemon.
There you go.
Lemons have taken over. Yes. That's dumb.
Did they not know what lemon meant when applied to a car?
I think it's the other way around.
so Citroens were so bad that Lemon became a name for a bad car.
I think mostly they were French.
And so people in North America were like.
They just assumed they were bad.
The face you're making is almost as good as the face
that flower makes when Barnaby confronts her about getting off dating app.
Yeah,
right.
We find out that Aiden has been fired
and is pretending to go to work, which I'm just not.
I'm not into that story.
I just think it's like you're trying to give Aiden a motive to kill Frank
because Frank knew that he was pretending to go to work
and that he had a drug problem. I just.
I don't really care about it.
And to me, it minimizes his drug addiction.
Yeah, because he trivializes.
Some days I do. And some days I don't.
That's not addiction.
You're keeping it in the ten in your closet
and buying it from a teenager in town.
I think he is addicted.
Yeah, he's playing it off. Yeah.
Thank you again.
Winters goes to the island is the simplest way again.
She's a drug dealer in town and had some problems with everybody who's died so far.
Well, she wasn't mad at Ty, but she could sneak in there without him getting upset.
So now we have completely Kim Bailey, pet Detective.
Why is the room smoky?
To make it mysterious.
Why is the room mysterious.
To pet Detective Agency?
They're hardboiled detectives looking for sleeping.
Lola Okay.
Kim's serious about.
This.
Aiden also gives up everything instantly.
Of course he does.
And his wife is like. Don't touch me. Yeah.
As she should be.
They get the dog back and they're like,
yeah, Look, our kids are visible again, too.
And he's like, Yeah, but she's like, storms off systematic.
So. Fleur, find the dog
napping kid because somebody tried to steal paddy.
Aiden, not Reece tried to steal Paddy.
Rule one of being bad dude is don't leave your I.D.
in your bad do kid.
Well, when bow legged fleur is coming at you
through the woods, I would drop everything and run.
But still, it was just.
Going to catch you. Yeah.
Drop the dog, drop the backpack. Go.
And they find the key ring with the cork on it.
It's got a floater.
They go find the dog that just runs out of the boat.
The boat that is entirely trash.
Now that a giant Czechoslovakian wolfhound has been in it for like months, he's
had the dog for a while, long enough for them to put up posters multiple times.
He is the world's worst dog that I having my.
Nose. Yes, but then want to get killed.
Do you think it's kind of wrapping up?
You're like, okay, things are kind of tied together
and Frank and Ty are connected.
But then Lauren of the cat lady gets killed, she gets strangled by a dog snare.
This is an it. Through the window.
Improbable bull death.
I think that would be really hard to do to loop that thing around her head.
Yeah. The snare poles exist.
Yes, they they are not usually fatal.
And I have in my notes that these
floors, as these
cats are all over the forensic, I'm like, that house has.
A bag
and Lorna's hand is in the automatic cat feeder.
Yeah.
So, you know, if it had been a day later
when they found her, they'd probably would have eaten her hand.
Yeah.
Or gone out the window that's left open where.
And put the snare. And so.
They find out that what's his name had been there.
Perry.
They find out Perry's been there so they go talk to Perry.
Well, and Perry's blood is under Ty's fingernails.
Yeah, well, at first they think it's Reece's.
Yeah, but then they realize, no, now it's Perry's.
And we have the saddest scene of the episode where he's filling out cards. He's
writing birthday cards for Reece because he knows he's not going to be around.
Yeah, because he has terminal cancer and.
He's gone to the pokey.
But not until he takes Madelyn down with him. Yes.
Which? Right on.
If he'd gone to prison without
letting them know that she was part of it, that would have been really sad.
So they go to the pub and then they figure out that Madeline's involved
and they go in and find the knife, and then they go confront.
Madeleine Perry.
And then they go back to the pub and it's like, been 5 minutes.
They're still
sitting there with the dog at the table.
And then Sarah is like, I ordered another round.
She'd be sloshed by then.
I drink all of your drinks, they're gone.
And Patty,
Jake, all the drink, Flora.
And then got to Paris and came back.
She's so tired
from chasing Patty Scuttle got work out then.
So Piers Perry killed Frank on accident.
Yeah. Perry's target was tie the whole time.
Yeah, but some guy on a motorcycle with a black helmet could be tie,
could be Perry, it could be Frank Berry.
Just stabs whoever that is in the throat with a knife.
That his dad stabbed.
I got the kids are consumption.
Like, make sure it's him.
Like he would know that Frank wears leathers.
Why is Frank going outside?
He's leaving his own party to go spy on Lorna.
No, no.
There's. No.
He picks up his backpack, his helmet, everything you drive.
Is he leaving the party? I don't know.
I don't know.
Especially so that he can get killed.
Good Indian food.
Well, most of it's on his wife's dress.
Ruddy chopped puppet
I okay.
So then Perry kills Ty because that's who he wanted to kill him.
Yeah. Second time's a charm.
But then they have to kill Lorna as law to figure it out.
Yeah.
So Madeline has to kill Lorna.
That is the most improbable death.
Because someone would see her.
Yeah, Like, is it a collapsible snare pole?
Can she put it in her pocket? No.
She's walking down the road with this great.
Big pole with a. Loop on. It. Yeah.
And I don't care that she's a dog trainer, there's no reason for her
to be carrying that.
There's also the fact that Perry didn't know who he killed at the restaurant.
But then when he finds out that he killed Frank, he kind of goes, I hated him.
Anyway, I guess I'll try again. well.
Terminal
cancer, you know, might make you really sad,
but he doesn't seem like he's a callous person.
He goes, You told me it would be painless.
Okay, but the knife into the throat, you keep.
Yeah.
And what part of being electrocuted by your neck
sounds painless, but that doesn't remotely sound painless.
And then the best part is
third wheel and Daniella show up at the end,
and they essentially go, Mom, you're a murderer, Dad, you're a murderer.
Is everyone prepared to murder
Bates?
Let's go to Canada together. Okay.
Worst parenting session ever.
My dad's going to prison.
My mom's going to prison. Let's be friends.
look, Fleur got a bird.
New net went.
I like that.
She got a bird. I don't think she'll keep the bird.
I don't like the drug stuff, but I like the motivational stuff.
Yeah, it makes I.
Perry is dying.
He knows it.
And his son is only alive because Madeline's
son died, and he has his heart transplant.
I absolutely believe that Perry could feel
like he owes Madeline something. But.
He's dying, so he doesn't have anything to lose.
But I can't.
The part I can't connect is her saying I want you
to kill my daughter's boyfriend.
Because I think he's a bad influence.
When she could have had a conversation with Ty.
Yeah.
Which we only see and meet Ty very briefly.
He seems fine.
He seems like a fine guy. Yeah.
He moved there to be with Daniella, and he's not.
He clearly really guards stuff at all.
No, he has a job.
But not a.
Place to live that's protected by the fair.
A dollars.
But see, Madeline thinks he likes the drug dealer.
Yes, I know.
But only because she doesn't believe her own daughter.
Have a five conversation with. Them.
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't think that Perry would say, okay, I'll kill him for you.
Yeah, that's. It's.
I think she.
I think he would say I'll have a talk with him.
You scare him off.
Maybe I could see Perry doing that.
But not sure.
I'll slit his throat outside a busy restaurant where they're having a party.
No problem. Never mind. Perry would be going.
No, I don't think he's a drug dealer.
He was in my backyard.
I think I would notice that. Yeah.
I think your daughter's a drug dealer.
Strange bedfellows again.
That's.
That's the only part of it I don't buy.
Yeah, Is that that willingness of him to do that?
He doesn't seem like that. That's.
I got to kill Lorna to show
again.
If she wasn't caught, who would be next?
I like Perry's rage to her.
Yes, that's the best part of that. Yeah.
Because he's like you.
You took advantage of me.
Yeah, and he's right.
He is. He's ab. He.
He doesn't say he didn't do anything wrong.
No, but he says she manipulated him and took advantage of him.
Yeah, absolutely.
And Madeline is not sorry.
She's justified in herself to the end.
my. Daughter is going to need so much therapy.
So much therapy. It's okay.
So it's not in it.
I had therapy when Addison died.
None of this would have had.
Yes, If Lorna had had therapy after her
abusive work situation, she would have been better off.
Daniella is certainly going to need therapy now.
Even just talking to friend.
Reece is going to need some help.
Yeah. Okay.
So after that, After the credits.
Once again, I want to state that Kim.
Makes out like a bandit. Yeah.
She gets the whole house now.
The pet Detective Agency? Yep.
She doesn't have a bad husband anymore.
No, she. She she loses her dress.
That's the extent of what happens to her,
because she doesn't seem all that upset that Frank's dead.
No, because he cheated on his first wife to be with her and then cheated on her
with his first wife.
And she's another one who she says completely
legitimate possibilities of the crime to Barnaby.
And Barnaby's like, No, it's not weird enough for Midsomer.
Kim's big problem.
What makes her unlikable is that she's too glamorous for Midsomer.
Yeah, it makes somebody. Yeah, I'd say that.
But she doesn't drink.
You know, she's not because she wears big sunglasses, so.
Yeah.
You think a shiny and in Aidan are going to make up?
No, I think Aidan's on the.
Run the way. Out on the road.
He's on Crazy Sail out of town.
He'll get partial custody of their invisible children.
Yeah, they're mostly invisible children. The dog, Reece.
Maybe Reece gets in the boat and just goes before they can arrest him for dog.
No, he's down. He's been booked already.
But William's got money.
He'll get him out of that. Yeah.
We've barely talked about William.
Just a tiny little part.
The one thing you need to know about William is that he's played by Duncan
Preston. Yes.
Who was in a movie that I am not making up.
It's not even horrible movie about Mark Seen it
because I know you haven't seen it, but I am not making up this movie.
Okay. Are you ready?
It is called Nativity three.
Dude, where's my donkey?
What is Nativity. Two?
Nativity two is danger in the manger.
He's not in that one.
These movies exist. Wow.
They were funded.
People were excited about this new project.
They were embarking on the.
Activity three as there are four, I.
Don't know. Frankly, I don't want to know.
It's their Wikipedia page for the Nativity movie saga. yes.
and IMDB page.
I will put links in.
Who is the best corpse?
Okay, we have Frank.
Frank dead in the dog kennel time.
Did you notice there's like 30 balls in the dog kennel?
Yes, the scout eat that much. Storm. Storms.
Or storms, Big dog.
I guess.
Frank stunned the dog kennel in his leathers, tied dead in his bed
with the shock collar on or Lorna dead on floor, choked by the dog, snare
another hand in the cat food.
I'm going to give best corpse to mourn his hand in the cat food.
Me too. Yeah, me too.
I'm going to.
Put some cat food. On it.
It's mostly B just because I like her.
And I like Josie Lawrence who played her.
God, that house stink.
You're obsessed with it.
There are cat patterns everywhere.
Yeah, which might mean that it doesn't smell
because she's fastidious about it, but maybe it does.
And that is claws out.
