0:17 Okay, you've got questions. Yeah. Where
0:19 are we going?
0:21 Crime scene next.
0:23 Who are you? What do you do? What do you
0:27 think? I'd say private detective. But
0:28 but the police don't go to private detectives.
0:30 detectives.
0:32 I'm a consulting detective. The only one
0:34 in the world that invented the job. What
0:35 does that mean? Means when the police
0:37 are out of their depth, which is always
0:39 they consult me. The police don't
0:45 When I met you for the first time
0:47 yesterday, I said Afghanistan or Iraq.
0:48 You looked surprised. Yes. How did you
0:51 know? I didn't know. I saw
0:52 your haircut. The way you hold yourself
0:54 says military. But your conversation as
0:56 you entered the room bit different from
0:58 my day. Said trained at Bart. So, army
1:00 doctor obviously
1:03 is tanned but no tan above the wrists.
1:05 You've been abroad but not sunbathing.
1:07 Your lips really bad but you walk but
1:08 you don't ask for a chair when you stand
1:10 like you've forgotten about it. So, it's
1:12 at least partly psychosmatic. That says
1:13 the original circumstances of the injury
1:15 were traumatic. Wounded in action then
1:18 wounded in action. Santan Afghanistan or Iraq.
1:20 Iraq.
1:21 You said I had a therapist. Got a
1:23 psychosmatic limp. Of course, you've got
1:26 a therapist. Then there's your brother.
1:28 your phone. It's expensive email enabled
1:29 MP3 player. You're looking for a flat
1:31 share. You wouldn't waste money on this.
1:34 It's a gift. Scratch is not one over
1:35 time. It's been in the same pocket as
1:37 keys and coins. Many next wouldn't treat
1:38 his one luxury item like this. So, it's
1:40 had a previous owner. Next bit's easy.
1:43 You know it already. The engraving.
1:44 Harry Watson. Clearly a family member
1:46 who's given you his old phone. Not your
1:48 father. This is a young man's gadget.
1:50 Could be a cousin, but you're a war hero
1:51 who can't find a place to live. Unlikely
1:53 you've got an extended family. Certainly
1:54 not one you're close to. So brother it
1:57 is now Claraara. Who's Claraara? Three
1:58 kisses says there's a romantic
1:59 attachment. It spent on the phone says
2:01 wife not girlfriend. She must have given
2:03 it to him recently. This model's only 6
2:05 months old. Marriage in trouble then. 6
2:06 months old. He's just given it away. If
2:07 she'd left him, he would have kept it.
2:09 People do sent him. But no, he wanted
2:11 rid of it. He left her. He gave the
2:12 phone to you. That says he wants you to
2:14 stay in touch. You're looking for cheap
2:16 accommodation and you're not going to
2:18 your brother for help. It says you got
2:19 problems with him. Maybe you liked his
2:21 wife. Maybe you don't like his drinking.
2:24 How can you possibly know about the
2:26 drinking? Shot in the dark. Good one,
2:28 though. Power connection. Tiny little
2:29 scuff marks around the edge of it. Every
2:31 night goes to plug it in to charge, but
2:32 his hands are shaking. You never see
2:34 those marks on a soberman's phone. Never
2:35 see a drunks without them. There you go.
2:38 You see, you were right. I was right.
2:39 Right about what? The police don't
2:45 That
2:51 You think so? Of course it was. It was
2:53 extraordinary. It was quite
2:54 extraordinary. So what do people
2:55 normally say? What do people normally
