-Apparently.
-Well, he's a big boy.
I mean, he'll show up.
Don't forget to button on this time.

♪♪ ♪♪ [ Cellphone vibrates ] I want you to call Roger Sims at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Tell him that the toxicology report showed traces of monkshood in Hugh's system.
-There was no toxicology report done.
-Yeah, I know.
Doesn't matter.
-What's it called?
-Monkshood.
Aconitum napellus.
Just say monkshood.
And ask Roger if he knows how Hugh might have come into contact with it.
♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Whatcha doing down there?
-Hey.
Lost a pair of sunnies.
-Thought maybe you were looking for monkshood.
-What's that?
-It was growing in your garden before you pulled it out.
It's how you knew Hugh Miller was gonna have a heart attack.
-[ Chuckles ] -Roger, that was almost a perfect crime.
I'm surprised you're not claiming it.
You put the pureed root into the same bottle as Hugh's.
You asked for a cheeky sip of water... -Thanks.
♪♪ -...and then gave him back the poisonous bottle, but you got the dose wrong, didn't you?
-[ Groaning ] ♪♪ ♪♪ -Then when you realized you were running out of time, you smashed his head against a rock.
-You all right?
I'm gonna call for help.
♪♪ -Chucked the bottle into the bush and raced to catch up with the peloton.
You just couldn't stand coming in later than second place.
-Hugh was like my brother.
He was like my right arm.
-Yeah, that threw me at first, too, but then I saw Hugh's private valuation of the new property.
He figured out that Oriah had paid $1.2 million past Iman's asking price.
He must have tumbled to the fact that you and Iman were in cahoots and pocketed the difference.
Did Hugh want in?
Maybe it was nothing to do with money.
Maybe you just hate being caught out.
-Ha!
That's ridiculous.
I was with Iman when Hugh died.
-But you weren't, 'cause your numbers and Iman's numbers were exactly the same -- I mean, exactly, and that's just not possible, not even for a perfectionist.
Unless Iman had your computer with him.
-Hey, you're keeping up.
-I am, brother.
-You all right?
-Yeah, just a bit of skin.
-Yeah, you'll be all right.
-It's all right.
-See you back down there.
♪♪ Come on, Hughie!
You can't prove any of this.
-You weren't down there looking for this, were you?
Hugh's water bottle.
I bet you a new pair of socks that toxicology is gonna find monkshood on the inside and your fingerprints on the outside.
-Police!
-Alexa... -Police, don't move!
Show me your hands.
Cuff him.
-We found Iman.
He was getting on a plane to Malaysia.
He's fine.
-Told you he'd show up.

You know what?
Maybe even a great team, although it's early days.

Outwit, outplay, out-- What was the third one?
-Something's wrong with my olive bread.
-Ah, one person didn't like the bread.
One.
-So fix the olive bread.
