Is he dead? - No, sir. 00:01:05.742 --> 00:01:07.611 He's writing! 00:01:07.661 --> 00:01:08.862 Repeat! 00:01:09.329 --> 00:01:13.492 He's writing, sir, he's writing in a notebook! 00:01:13.542 --> 00:01:16.752 That man was not mad. He was working 00:01:16.753 --> 00:01:20.749 with shrapnel whistling round him because he couldn't wait. 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.634 The contents of that notebook were too important 00:01:23.635 --> 00:01:25.428 to write it down later. 00:01:25.429 --> 00:01:28.347 He had to do it when his mind dictated, 00:01:28.348 --> 00:01:31.134 he couldn't put it off a single second. 00:01:32.144 --> 00:01:35.722 What was so important that he would risk his life for it? 00:01:36.064 --> 00:01:39.233 What was he writing that stopped him from standing up 00:01:39.234 --> 00:01:41.269 and running, like any other man would have done? 00:01:45.616 --> 00:01:49.111 The "Tractatus Logico-philosophicus", 00:01:51.371 --> 00:01:55.283 the most influential philosophical work of the twentieth century. 00:01:55.626 --> 00:01:58.836 That soldier was called Ludwig Wittgenstein, 00:01:58.837 --> 00:02:01.707 the man who set the limits on our thoughts. 00:02:02.466 --> 00:02:05.377 The enigma that he tried to decipher 00:02:05.844 --> 00:02:07.337 was the following: 00:02:11.308 --> 00:02:14.052 Can we know the truth? 00:02:16.772 --> 00:02:18.773 All the great thinkers throughout history 00:02:18.774 --> 00:02:20.691 have sought a single certainty, 00:02:20.692 --> 00:02:22.777 something which no one can refute, 00:02:22.778 --> 00:02:25.480 like "two and two make four". 00:02:26.406 --> 00:02:28.491 In order to find that truth, 00:02:28.492 --> 00:02:30.576 Wittgenstein used, in fact, 00:02:30.577 --> 00:02:35.081 mathematical logic. What better means of obtaining a certainty 00:02:35.082 --> 00:02:38.827 than an immutable language, free from the passions of men? 00:02:40.128 --> 00:02:44.298 He advanced slowly, using equation after equation, 00:02:44.299 --> 00:02:47.252 with impeccable method, until he reached 00:02:47.261 --> 00:02:49.254 a terrifying conclusion. 00:02:50.931 --> 00:02:53.717 There is no such truth 00:02:53.767 --> 00:02:56.261 outside of mathematics. 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.396 There is no way of finding 00:02:58.397 --> 00:03:00.940 a single absolute truth, 00:03:00.941 --> 00:03:02.984 an irrefutable argument 00:03:02.985 --> 00:03:06.521 which might help answer the questions of mankind. 00:03:07.948 --> 00:03:11.193 Philosophy, therefore, is dead. 00:03:12.786 --> 00:03:15.697 Because "Whereof we cannot speak", 00:03:17.499 --> 00:03:20.327 "thereof we must be silent." 00:04:44.294 --> 00:04:46.121 Don't touch that, please. 00:04:46.463 --> 00:04:48.131 This is an Enigma machine! 00:04:48.132 --> 00:04:51.835 Just a copy. The original's in the Imperial War Museum in London. 00:04:52.386 --> 00:04:54.887 Sorry to sneak in like that... The door was open. 00:04:54.888 --> 00:04:58.766 Of course it was open. You surely didn't expect me to get up 00:04:58.767 --> 00:05:00.510 and let you in on these legs, did you? 00:05:00.769 --> 00:05:01.970 I'm... 00:05:01.979 --> 00:05:07.976 Martin, our new overseas student lodger, I presume. 00:05:08.986 --> 00:05:11.487 - This man in the photo with you... - Yes. 00:05:11.488 --> 00:05:13.774 That's Turing, Alan Turing, 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.742 the man who deciphered the Enigma code. 00:05:16.743 --> 00:05:20.037 Thanks to him, we won the war. 00:05:20.038 --> 00:05:22.366 Poor man died such a strange death... 00:05:23.083 --> 00:05:26.328 a poisoned apple, like Snow White. 00:05:27.212 --> 00:05:28.921 And the one on the left? 00:05:28.922 --> 00:05:31.090 My husband, Harry. 00:05:31.091 --> 00:05:34.427 Harry Eagleton. He developed the concept of fractional dimensions... 00:05:34.428 --> 00:05:37.763 He deserved a bloody Nobel prize, but he hated sucking up 00:05:37.764 --> 00:05:40.433 to politicians. Politicians or anybody. 00:05:40.434 --> 00:05:41.968 He never had many friends. 00:05:42.811 --> 00:05:45.271 He had one at least. Arthur Seldom. 00:05:45.272 --> 00:05:47.607 Poor boy. He spent day 00:05:47.608 --> 00:05:50.568 after day in the house, tidying Harry's papers. 00:05:50.569 --> 00:05:54.439 He'd go without lunch or dinner, going over the equations. 00:05:54.907 --> 00:05:58.910 Eagleton tutored his doctoral thesis on the logical series. In 1960, 00:05:58.911 --> 00:06:02.114 - wasn't it? - I see you've done your homework. 00:06:02.247 --> 00:06:04.832 I know everything there is to know about Arthur Seldom. 00:06:04.833 --> 00:06:07.293 In fact, Mrs. Eagleton, it's because of him that I'm here. 00:06:07.294 --> 00:06:09.079 In Oxford, I mean. 00:06:09.671 --> 00:06:12.833 I know what you mean. Seldom is... unique. 00:06:13.592 --> 00:06:15.551 Every prize, every acknowledgement 00:06:15.552 --> 00:06:20.132 he's received over the years has been a real joy for me. 00:06:20.766 --> 00:06:23.142 Careful, mother, or your secret will be discovered. 00:06:23.143 --> 00:06:24.393 What secret? 00:06:24.394 --> 00:06:26.229 After daddy died, you tried to marry him. 00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:29.357 How dare you! That's not true. 00:06:29.358 --> 00:06:30.858 He's always been like a brother to me. 00:06:30.859 --> 00:06:32.985 Only because there was no chance of him being anything else. 00:06:32.986 --> 00:06:34.271 Beth! 00:06:35.030 --> 00:06:37.198 There's no doubt Professor Seldom is a genius, 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.609 but there's one area he's no different from other men. 00:06:40.410 --> 00:06:42.161 He likes young girls. 00:06:42.162 --> 00:06:46.082 Beth, darling, couldn't you stop being so spiteful just for a second? 00:06:46.083 --> 00:06:47.451 Sorry, mother. 00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:50.454 Take no notice of us.

Anything else that caught your attention? 00:27:15.187 --> 00:27:18.015 Under the text 00:27:18.690 --> 00:27:20.892 there was a hand-drawn circle, 00:27:21.985 --> 00:27:23.770 a perfect circle, 00:27:25.072 --> 00:27:26.940 also in black. 00:27:28.325 --> 00:27:29.818 About... 00:27:32.329 --> 00:27:34.364 this size, 00:27:36.125 --> 00:27:37.492 approximately. 00:27:39.294 --> 00:27:40.662 A circle? 00:27:41.338 --> 00:27:42.706 Like a signature? 00:27:42.714 --> 00:27:45.049 No, I'm almost convinced it was a symbol, 00:27:45.050 --> 00:27:47.210 the first element of a logical series. 00:27:48.303 --> 00:27:50.380 Well, excuse my ignorance, 00:27:50.389 --> 00:27:53.349 I must have been off school the day they taught 00:27:53.350 --> 00:27:54.760 logical series. 00:27:55.310 --> 00:27:56.727 A logical series 00:27:56.728 --> 00:27:58.555 is a group of elements that succeed one another, 00:27:58.564 --> 00:28:00.022 following a particular rule. 00:28:00.023 --> 00:28:01.315 Could be 1, 2, 3, 4... 00:28:01.316 --> 00:28:03.935 or even numbers, 2, 4, 6, 8... 00:28:04.570 --> 00:28:07.314 Or of course it could be the Fibonacci series. 00:28:07.656 --> 00:28:09.198 Fibonacci? 00:28:09.199 --> 00:28:10.825 A 12th-century mathematician. 00:28:10.826 --> 00:28:15.496 Each element is the sum of the two previous ones: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 00:28:15.497 --> 00:28:18.332 - 8, 13... - Look, I still don't see 00:28:18.333 --> 00:28:21.461 the relationship between the murder and these series. 00:28:21.462 --> 00:28:25.123 I'm sorry. In my book I sustain the theory that the murder committed 00:28:25.132 --> 00:28:28.460 for intellectual reasons does not exist in the real world. 00:28:29.303 --> 00:28:32.513 In general, the patterns followed by a serial killer 00:28:32.514 --> 00:28:36.225 are crude, monotonous and repetitive, 00:28:36.226 --> 00:28:39.687 cases that can be analyzed psychologically, not logically. 00:28:39.688 --> 00:28:43.558 So you think the murderer is killing to prove something to you? 00:28:44.276 --> 00:28:47.437 Yes, sadly, I believe that to be the case. 00:28:47.696 --> 00:28:49.405 Murderer wants to prove me wrong. 00:28:49.406 --> 00:28:51.365 He wants to show that he's more intelligent than I am 00:28:51.366 --> 00:28:52.950 and that he can beat me 00:28:52.951 --> 00:28:56.245 at my own game. Somehow he knew of my friendship 00:28:56.246 --> 00:28:59.916 with Mrs. Eagleton, and decided to begin there. 00:28:59.917 --> 00:29:02.661 How about this circle? How do you explain this? 00:29:02.753 --> 00:29:05.463 A circle's a good way to start a logical series. 00:29:05.464 --> 00:29:07.249 There's no symbol more indeterminate. 00:29:07.257 --> 00:29:08.966 Could mean almost anything. 00:29:08.967 --> 00:29:13.130 So you mean there's gonna be another murder after this one? 00:29:13.263 --> 00:29:14.715 I'm afraid so. 00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:18.593 And if we don't discover it in time, 00:29:18.727 --> 00:29:20.603 could be many more. 00:29:20.604 --> 00:29:22.438 Okay, we are going to change 00:29:22.439 --> 00:29:25.100 some notes please in part 12. 00:29:25.108 --> 00:29:27.894 We knew she was going to die at any time, 00:29:28.654 --> 00:29:30.355 but never like this. 00:29:30.531 --> 00:29:33.734 The doctors gave her 6 months to live, 5 years ago. 00:29:33.909 --> 00:29:37.320 Thanks to Beth's nursing she had an extra lease of life, 00:29:37.621 --> 00:29:39.281 like a blessing from heaven. 00:29:40.165 --> 00:29:42.326 Maybe that's why the murderer chose her. 00:29:43.293 --> 00:29:44.745 How do you mean? 00:29:44.837 --> 00:29:47.505 If he is trying to demonstrate something purely intellectual, 00:29:47.506 --> 00:29:50.125 maybe the deaths in themselves don't interest him. 00:29:50.134 --> 00:29:53.219 Maybe his aim is to inflict as little harm as possible. 00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:55.513 He chose someone that should have died. 00:29:55.514 --> 00:29:58.015 He probably knew Mrs. Eagleton was receiving treatment... 00:29:58.016 --> 00:30:00.476 She went every week to St Joseph's hospital. 00:30:00.477 --> 00:30:04.105 He could have found out about her illness there, and that made her 00:30:04.106 --> 00:30:06.099 the perfect victim for him. 00:30:06.233 --> 00:30:07.517 Go on. 00:30:08.527 --> 00:30:10.444 If he hadn't broken her nose, 00:30:10.445 --> 00:30:12.814 it would have looked like death by natural causes. 00:30:12.906 --> 00:30:15.116 In that case, only you would have known what happened. 00:30:15.117 --> 00:30:16.985 The police would never have been involved. 00:30:17.035 --> 00:30:19.279 It would have been a private challenge. 00:30:19.288 --> 00:30:21.289 A murder that almost isn't a murder. 00:30:21.290 --> 00:30:23.158 That makes sense. 00:30:24.209 --> 00:30:25.994 What do you think he would do next? 00:30:26.503 --> 00:30:28.914 I suppose he'll try to be more careful. 00:30:29.214 --> 00:30:32.292 He'll commit another murder that almost isn't a murder. 00:30:33.427 --> 00:30:36.338 An imperceptible murder... 00:30:41.143 --> 00:30:42.552 Excuse me. 00:30:47.357 --> 00:30:50.109 Excuse me, officers, but I need to speak 00:30:50.110 --> 00:30:51.986 to Miss Eagleton first, to break the bad news, 00:30:51.987 --> 00:30:54.439 to her, if that's all right. Thank you. 00:31:00.996 --> 00:31:02.538 You have a C, 00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:05.541 B flat, and C sharp. 00:31:05.542 --> 00:31:07.502 Excuse me, please, I can talk to him? 00:31:07.503 --> 00:31:10.463 Yes, so 00:31:10.464 --> 00:31:12.006 you have a C, B flat, 00:31:12.007 --> 00:31:13.583 and C sharp. 00:31:15.010 --> 00:31:18.171 No, no, no. You have a B, a C sharp, and C natural... 00:31:19.097 --> 00:31:20.340 Okay, 00:31:20.724 --> 00:31:22.551 let's do a break, please. 00:31:57.302 --> 00:31:59.762 The police told me that you were the one who found the body. 00:31:59.763 --> 00:32:01.597 Forgive me, Beth. I'm really sorry. 00:32:01.598 --> 00:32:03.808 They asked me to try and remember every detail and... 00:32:03.809 --> 00:32:06.970 It's no problem. I understand. 00:32:10.023 --> 00:32:12.463 It must have been difficult for you to go through all of this. 00:32:13.110 --> 00:32:15.312 Two hours of interrogation. 00:32:15.445 --> 00:32:18.406 It's logical, though, bearing in mind I'm the chief suspect. 00:32:18.407 --> 00:32:19.782 Did they tell you that? 00:32:19.783 --> 00:32:22.652 No. No, they didn't have to. 00:32:23.787 --> 00:32:25.288 You don't need to be a detective to realize 00:32:25.289 --> 00:32:27.290 that I'm the one who most benefits from all this. 00:32:27.291 --> 00:32:30.869 But you looked after her for years. Seldom told me. 00:32:31.837 --> 00:32:33.163 Five years... 00:32:33.714 --> 00:32:36.416 Five years of waiting for her to drop dead. 00:32:37.551 --> 00:32:39.469 Forgive me for being so cruelly sincere, 00:32:39.470 --> 00:32:41.838 but if anyone wanted this to end, it was me. 00:32:45.350 --> 00:32:47.977 Do you know what it is to wake up every morning 00:32:47.978 --> 00:32:50.764 wondering when you're going to have a life of your own? 00:32:51.231 --> 00:32:53.850 I couldn't abandon her, she was my mother. 00:32:54.526 --> 00:32:58.063 She had cancer but it was supposed to be a question of months. 00:33:00.657 --> 00:33:03.576 You want this person you're supposed to be looking after to disappear 00:33:03.577 --> 00:33:04.911 and at the same time you know 00:33:04.912 --> 00:33:06.952 there's something evil in you for thinking that way. 00:33:08.499 --> 00:33:09.791 You hate yourself 00:33:09.792 --> 00:33:11.660 for the thoughts that go through your head. 00:33:12.377 --> 00:33:14.086 It's like being rotten inside. 00:33:14.087 --> 00:33:16.873 Beth, you've no need to worry. 00:33:17.508 --> 00:33:19.008 Seldom got a note. 00:33:19.009 --> 00:33:21.594 Someone warned him of what was going to happen, 00:33:21.595 --> 00:33:24.222 - and is threatening to do it again. - Who? 00:33:24.223 --> 00:33:25.716 No one knows. 00:33:33.524 --> 00:33:35.851 They made me go to the morgue to look at the body. 00:33:37.027 --> 00:33:38.903 Her eyes were still open. 00:33:38.904 --> 00:33:40.439 Don't think about it. 00:33:46.203 --> 00:33:48.780 I don't think I can sleep upstairs tonight. 00:33:48.872 --> 00:33:50.782 Is it okay if I stay here with you? 00:34:02.886 --> 00:34:04.345 I'm sorry. 00:34:04.346 --> 00:34:06.340 Don't be... it's okay. 00:34:07.015 --> 00:34:10.385 I don't know what you must think of me.

Now we know that the murder 00:35:10.412 --> 00:35:11.496 took place in the dining room, 00:35:11.497 --> 00:35:13.664 don't we? And that the victim was killed with a cushion, 00:35:13.665 --> 00:35:14.957 but since we don't have 00:35:14.958 --> 00:35:17.411 a cushion, we'll use the nasty little knife. 00:35:19.087 --> 00:35:20.129 Now I'll stick 00:35:20.130 --> 00:35:22.340 my neck out and say that Miss Scarlet was the murderer 00:35:22.341 --> 00:35:24.543 in the living room, with the knife. 00:35:25.552 --> 00:35:26.844 What do you think? 00:35:26.845 --> 00:35:29.222 Clue didn't figure into my degree course. 00:35:29.223 --> 00:35:30.549 Cleudo! 00:35:31.642 --> 00:35:33.402 It's recommended reading in police academies. 00:35:34.603 --> 00:35:36.054 In the papers, 00:35:36.730 --> 00:35:39.524 Beth appears as the chief suspect. 00:35:39.525 --> 00:35:41.143 But the police know all the facts. 00:35:43.111 --> 00:35:47.315 I forgot that I was talking to the champion of universal logic. 00:35:47.533 --> 00:35:48.734 Thank you. 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.779 You and the police think that it's possible to demonstrate the truth. 00:35:52.955 --> 00:35:53.830 On the basis 00:35:53.831 --> 00:35:56.074 of certain axioms and by using valid reasoning, 00:35:56.083 --> 00:35:58.793 you can reach a valid conclusion, isn't that so? 00:35:58.794 --> 00:36:01.212 As sure as today is Wednesday. 00:36:01.213 --> 00:36:04.833 And what if I say, "All Britons are liars"? 00:36:05.676 --> 00:36:08.253 True, false or impossible to prove? 00:36:08.595 --> 00:36:11.347 All right. There are mathematical formulations 00:36:11.348 --> 00:36:14.267 that can neither be proved nor refuted starting from axioms. 00:36:14.268 --> 00:36:16.185 Indeterminable propositions. 00:36:16.186 --> 00:36:19.139 Exactly, Gödel's incompleteness theorem. 00:36:19.189 --> 00:36:21.732 So, even in your world of mathematical purity, 00:36:21.733 --> 00:36:24.152 there are things that can never be proven. 00:36:24.153 --> 00:36:26.480 Yes, but that is not the case here. 00:36:27.197 --> 00:36:28.732 There is a gap, 00:36:29.616 --> 00:36:33.570 there is a gulf between what is true and what is provable. 00:36:33.579 --> 00:36:35.079 We can never be sure 00:36:35.080 --> 00:36:37.039 of all the facts about a phenomenon, 00:36:37.040 --> 00:36:40.293 and to lack just one, could change everything. Even if we know 00:36:40.294 --> 00:36:41.419 that the murder 00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:43.455 took place in the dining room with the knife, 00:36:43.464 --> 00:36:46.716 and that Miss Scarlet was there at the exact moment of the murder, 00:36:46.717 --> 00:36:49.051 and that her fingerprints 00:36:49.052 --> 00:36:50.553 were on the knife, we can never 00:36:50.554 --> 00:36:53.723 affirm with absolute certainty that she committed the crime. 00:36:53.724 --> 00:36:57.552 Come on! It's 99% probable, for fuck's sake! 00:36:58.479 --> 00:37:01.814 That's not absolute certainty, that is an opinion. 00:37:01.815 --> 00:37:03.691 We could have absolute certainty 00:37:03.692 --> 00:37:05.026 if we trusted the word of an eye-witness, 00:37:05.027 --> 00:37:08.563 or we saw it with our own eyes. I trust my own eyes. 00:37:10.032 --> 00:37:11.483 No comment. 00:37:11.492 --> 00:37:14.327 Things are here, under our noses. 00:37:14.328 --> 00:37:16.954 These paving stones. They exist! 00:37:16.955 --> 00:37:18.790 Or do you refute that as well? You can't. 00:37:18.791 --> 00:37:21.660 Are you sure? Heisenberg wasn't quite as certain. 00:37:22.336 --> 00:37:23.795 The physicist? 00:37:23.796 --> 00:37:26.255 Yes, well, he tried to make an atom bomb for the Nazis, 00:37:26.256 --> 00:37:27.632 but he wasn't famous for that. 00:37:27.633 --> 00:37:31.052 What is this? An exam? Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle". 00:37:31.053 --> 00:37:34.680 Bingo! Miss Scarlet is now an electron, okay? 00:37:34.681 --> 00:37:36.557 And you're looking at her through a keyhole, 00:37:36.558 --> 00:37:38.684 or a particle accelerator, as you wish. 00:37:38.685 --> 00:37:40.144 And every time you look at her, 00:37:40.145 --> 00:37:43.974 Miss Scarlet will have changed her appearance or... 00:37:44.358 --> 00:37:45.517 her position. 00:37:45.734 --> 00:37:47.602 Because the very fact that you observe her 00:37:47.611 --> 00:37:50.272 alters her atomic state. How about that? 00:37:50.322 --> 00:37:52.281 Don't try to confuse me with tricks. 00:37:52.282 --> 00:37:55.201 Beth is not an electron, and neither is Mrs. Eagleton. 00:37:55.202 --> 00:37:57.662 So, do you really think that criminal investigation 00:37:57.663 --> 00:38:00.081 is more reliable than physics or mathematics? 00:38:00.082 --> 00:38:02.534 There are evident, irrefutable facts. 00:38:02.709 --> 00:38:04.335 For Christ's sake, 00:38:04.336 --> 00:38:07.039 can you turn that bloody thing off for a minute? 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:15.805 Unfortunately, the police were unable to find the note. 00:38:15.806 --> 00:38:18.975 Consequently, we have no material evidence whatsoever. 00:38:18.976 --> 00:38:20.927 Not a thing! 00:38:21.311 --> 00:38:23.271 Imagine if that bloody psychopath 00:38:23.272 --> 00:38:25.932 gets the wind up and decides not to kill again... 00:38:26.191 --> 00:38:29.019 Beth will be declared guilty. 00:38:32.447 --> 00:38:35.025 I'd love to know who it is you hate so much. 00:38:37.202 --> 00:38:38.612 Myself. 00:38:39.580 --> 00:38:42.658 I read the news in the papers.

He gave it to me. 00:41:01.763 --> 00:41:04.015 - You know Seldom? - Of course I do. 00:41:04.016 --> 00:41:05.967 - See him almost every day. - What? 00:41:08.187 --> 00:41:10.514 He visits a friend at the hospital, 00:41:10.564 --> 00:41:12.307 a terminal patient. 00:41:12.983 --> 00:41:15.234 One day we began to chat and... 00:41:15.235 --> 00:41:16.520 And what? 00:41:17.237 --> 00:41:19.106 And he gave me the book. 00:41:19.656 --> 00:41:22.283 - That's all? - You're jealous? 00:41:22.284 --> 00:41:25.870 He could be your father...

Of course not. 00:41:42.763 --> 00:41:45.048 Can you get him out of your mind, 00:41:45.933 --> 00:41:46.933 please? 00:41:47.643 --> 00:41:50.095 I just don't understand why you didn't tell me to begin with. 00:41:51.980 --> 00:41:53.348 What do you want? 00:41:53.732 --> 00:41:55.934 A list of all the people who have passed through here? 00:41:56.568 --> 00:41:58.520 - No. - Good. 00:43:04.219 --> 00:43:07.047 Everything you read in the papers is a lie. 00:43:09.183 --> 00:43:10.425 Did you know that? 00:43:11.185 --> 00:43:12.810 No... I don't pay much attention. 00:43:12.811 --> 00:43:15.055 - Have you read the Bible? - Not all of it. 00:43:15.355 --> 00:43:19.184 Jesus died on the cross and then rose on the third day. 00:43:19.193 --> 00:43:20.727 But in body and soul, 00:43:21.278 --> 00:43:22.854 at least so they say. 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.032 He ate fish and spoke to Peter. 00:43:26.033 --> 00:43:28.402 That's how he spent forty days. 00:43:28.577 --> 00:43:30.028 Forty days! 00:43:30.162 --> 00:43:33.365 He must have been green, and have stunk to high heaven. 00:43:34.208 --> 00:43:35.833 Hey, wait, wait. 00:43:35.834 --> 00:43:37.411 Jesus was a terrorist. 00:43:40.172 --> 00:43:41.832 All his life. 00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:47.254 A revolutionary who kicked money changers out of the temple. 00:43:48.388 --> 00:43:50.223 Do you know why he came back from the dead? 00:43:50.224 --> 00:43:53.051 - No, theoretically... - Jesus 00:43:53.185 --> 00:43:56.270 came back to life to avenge himself on his murderers. 00:43:56.271 --> 00:43:57.514 Like in a horror movie. 00:43:59.650 --> 00:44:03.270 Of course, that's not nice. That's not interesting. 00:44:04.738 --> 00:44:06.614 You can go in now, your daughter 00:44:06.615 --> 00:44:07.899 - is expecting you. - All right. 00:44:12.579 --> 00:44:14.163 What are you doing here? 00:44:14.164 --> 00:44:17.617 I had the urge to see you, that's all. Do you mind? 00:44:18.001 --> 00:44:19.335 You're lying. 00:44:19.336 --> 00:44:20.662 How do you know? 00:44:20.754 --> 00:44:22.581 I didn't, I do now. 00:44:23.090 --> 00:44:25.466 You're here to see Seldom's friend, aren't you? 00:44:25.467 --> 00:44:28.128 You should have seen the look on your face when I mentioned him. 00:44:28.762 --> 00:44:30.962 And how are you going to explain what you're doing here? 00:44:31.098 --> 00:44:33.050 I'll tell him I came to see you. 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:34.968 You swine. 00:44:48.740 --> 00:44:50.817 Who is that guy? He's nuts. 00:44:51.076 --> 00:44:53.661 Well, you would be too if your daughter needed a transplant 00:44:53.662 --> 00:44:55.405 and you couldn't find a donor. 00:44:55.497 --> 00:44:57.248 There were two people that could have been compatible, 00:44:57.249 --> 00:44:58.992 but their families refused. 00:44:59.126 --> 00:45:00.535 Now I get it. 00:45:00.669 --> 00:45:02.295 You know, he thought of committing suicide 00:45:02.296 --> 00:45:04.464 in order to give her his lungs. 00:45:04.465 --> 00:45:06.249 That's ridiculous. 00:45:06.300 --> 00:45:08.835 Giving your life for someone you love is ridiculous? 00:45:12.723 --> 00:45:13.973 His name is Kalman, 00:45:13.974 --> 00:45:15.933 one of my most brilliant students. 00:45:15.934 --> 00:45:17.310 He was quick in his conclusions, 00:45:17.311 --> 00:45:18.720 clear in his exposition. 00:45:19.062 --> 00:45:22.140 He designed intelligence tests. I initiated him 00:45:22.149 --> 00:45:24.650 into the study of logical series. 00:45:24.651 --> 00:45:26.861 He was meticulous, to the point of obsession. 00:45:26.862 --> 00:45:28.613 He marked the tests himself, 00:45:28.614 --> 00:45:30.114 one by one, and discovered 00:45:30.115 --> 00:45:31.616 something really curious: 00:45:31.617 --> 00:45:34.786 some of the tests were perfect; the majority had a few mistakes. 00:45:34.787 --> 00:45:37.497 But there was a third group. 00:45:37.498 --> 00:45:39.700 The answers were absurd, incomprehensible, 00:45:39.708 --> 00:45:41.083 illogical, random, 00:45:41.084 --> 00:45:43.211 the sort of thing that a lunatic would write. 00:45:43.212 --> 00:45:44.504 Kalman interviewed 00:45:44.505 --> 00:45:46.248 the pupils of this third category. 00:45:46.548 --> 00:45:48.709 The answers that he had considered absurd 00:45:48.801 --> 00:45:51.344 were, in fact, another possible solution 00:45:51.345 --> 00:45:52.386 and perfectly valid 00:45:52.387 --> 00:45:53.638 to continue the series, 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:56.675 only with an infinitely more complex justification. 00:45:56.975 --> 00:45:59.060 The intelligence of these pupils 00:45:59.061 --> 00:46:01.938 went beyond the conventional solution and was 00:46:01.939 --> 00:46:03.557 much more far-reaching. 00:46:06.193 --> 00:46:09.479 It was then that I had to break the bad news to him. 00:46:10.405 --> 00:46:13.734 Wittgenstein's paradox concerning finite rules. 00:46:13.992 --> 00:46:15.993 Kalman found in practice 00:46:15.994 --> 00:46:17.995 what Wittgenstein discovered decades before. 00:46:17.996 --> 00:46:19.372 The series 2, 4, 8, 00:46:19.373 --> 00:46:20.748 could obviously be followed 00:46:20.749 --> 00:46:23.452 by 16, but also by 10 00:46:23.585 --> 00:46:25.704 or 7004. 00:46:26.046 --> 00:46:28.756 It's always possible to find a rule, 00:46:28.757 --> 00:46:30.591 a justification which allows 00:46:30.592 --> 00:46:33.003 a series to be continued by any number. 00:46:33.428 --> 00:46:35.513 It all depends on how complicated the rule is. 00:46:35.514 --> 00:46:38.641 Suddenly, he realized that he couldn't even trust 00:46:38.642 --> 00:46:39.551 the two times table. 00:46:39.560 --> 00:46:42.436 His whole life was being sucked into a whirlpool 00:46:42.437 --> 00:46:44.230 of meaningless numbers. 00:46:44.231 --> 00:46:47.233 Normal thought seems to be guided by certain grooves 00:46:47.234 --> 00:46:49.318 etched into our brain 00:46:49.319 --> 00:46:51.070 which impede our leaving that track 00:46:51.071 --> 00:46:52.947 and jumping it like the chosen few 00:46:52.948 --> 00:46:55.491 who are able to think without limitations. 00:46:55.492 --> 00:46:58.119 Kalman decided to take a strange path. 00:46:58.120 --> 00:46:59.954 He began to try out his tests 00:46:59.955 --> 00:47:02.957 in psychiatric hospitals, on lobotomized patients. 00:47:02.958 --> 00:47:04.750 There was a remarkable similarity 00:47:04.751 --> 00:47:06.627 between those symbols 00:47:06.628 --> 00:47:08.212 and the results of the tests 00:47:08.213 --> 00:47:09.665 of the highly-gifted subjects. 00:47:09.882 --> 00:47:12.300 He was in the presence of pure thought, 00:47:12.301 --> 00:47:14.044 without grooves, 00:47:14.386 --> 00:47:16.762 but he couldn't understand it. The problem 00:47:16.763 --> 00:47:18.340 was his own brain. 00:47:18.640 --> 00:47:21.184 He saw everything from the outside. To understand 00:47:21.185 --> 00:47:23.561 those symbols, he had to see them from the inside. 00:47:23.562 --> 00:47:28.642 There was only one way of achieving it: to erase the grooves. 00:47:28.650 --> 00:47:30.651 The idea might seem grotesque, 00:47:30.652 --> 00:47:32.361 but not to a person who has been told 00:47:32.362 --> 00:47:34.648 that he's suffering from terminal cancer. 00:47:34.740 --> 00:47:36.282 His bones were rotting like wood 00:47:36.283 --> 00:47:38.235 infested with woodworm. 00:47:38.243 --> 00:47:40.328 All he had to look forward to 00:47:40.329 --> 00:47:43.198 was the amputation of his limbs, one by one. 00:47:43.874 --> 00:47:47.619 He was euphoric, he laughed, nervously, like someone about 00:47:47.628 --> 00:47:50.838 to discover something incredible who can't contain his joy. 00:47:50.839 --> 00:47:51.915 It was then 00:47:51.924 --> 00:47:54.501 that I realized that my friend had gone completely mad. 00:47:55.552 --> 00:47:57.303 He wanted to lobotomize himself. 00:47:57.304 --> 00:47:59.430 His only problem was how to ensure 00:47:59.431 --> 00:48:01.842 that the brain damage was not excessive. 00:48:02.434 --> 00:48:04.352 He had to perforate the skull and reach 00:48:04.353 --> 00:48:05.978 the brain, with something like 00:48:05.979 --> 00:48:07.305 a small harpoon. 00:48:08.190 --> 00:48:10.434 He asked for my help and I refused, 00:48:10.567 --> 00:48:14.111 although I did promise I would try to collect the messages he wrote 00:48:14.112 --> 00:48:15.605 from the other side. 00:48:15.697 --> 00:48:17.858 He used a nail gun. 00:48:21.286 --> 00:48:22.946 What does he write? 00:48:23.247 --> 00:48:25.532 The symbols are becoming more and more illegible. 00:48:25.874 --> 00:48:29.836 In all this time he's never drawn a logical symbol or a number. 00:48:29.837 --> 00:48:31.663 So what are they, then? 00:48:31.672 --> 00:48:35.083 Four letters that he repeats over and over. 00:48:36.301 --> 00:48:37.711 A woman's name. 00:48:51.942 --> 00:48:53.727 Where were you last night? 00:48:53.986 --> 00:48:55.611 Beth, what are you doing here? 00:48:55.612 --> 00:48:57.648 I was waiting for you. 00:48:58.490 --> 00:49:00.032 I'm sorry. I was out and... 00:49:00.033 --> 00:49:02.819 I thought you felt something for me. 00:49:04.580 --> 00:49:06.073 More than pity, 00:49:06.457 --> 00:49:08.075 but I was wrong. 00:49:08.459 --> 00:49:10.835 Of course I feel something for you. We're friends. 00:49:10.836 --> 00:49:12.295 I want to help you, but... 00:49:12.296 --> 00:49:14.873 "We're friends, you want to help me". 00:49:15.674 --> 00:49:17.459 That's worse than saying "you disgust me". 00:49:17.593 --> 00:49:19.252 - Beth, please. - Don't touch me! 00:49:22.681 --> 00:49:24.307 The kinderyou try to be, 00:49:24.308 --> 00:49:26.385 the more humiliated I feel. 00:49:26.977 --> 00:49:28.929 Beth, I don't mean to humiliate you. 00:49:29.146 --> 00:49:33.517 Then treat me like a woman.

It's me, Martin. Do you know anything about Seldom's friend? 00:50:34.336 --> 00:50:36.913 Kalman? What's wrong? 00:50:36.964 --> 00:50:39.041 He's been murdered. Today, at two fifteen. 00:50:39.633 --> 00:50:41.501 No... Wait a second. 00:50:54.148 --> 00:50:56.107 Sorry, Sherlock, but he's alive. 00:50:56.108 --> 00:50:57.400 Are you sure? 00:50:57.401 --> 00:50:59.152 Yes, he's right in front of me. 00:50:59.153 --> 00:51:01.772 If it's not him, then who? 00:51:03.282 --> 00:51:05.867 It would have looked like death from natural causes, 00:51:05.868 --> 00:51:08.445 if we hadn't discovered this little detail. 00:51:09.246 --> 00:51:11.156 It's an intravenous injection, 00:51:11.206 --> 00:51:13.749 and he wasn't receiving that kind of treatment. 00:51:13.750 --> 00:51:15.168 What sort of poison was administered? 00:51:15.169 --> 00:51:17.837 We don't know. We'll have to wait for the post mortem report. 00:51:17.838 --> 00:51:19.380 We know the time of death? 00:51:19.381 --> 00:51:21.208 Exactly as it said on the note: 00:51:21.216 --> 00:51:22.925 quarter past two. It says so 00:51:22.926 --> 00:51:24.886 - on the wristband. - Where did they find the body? 00:51:24.887 --> 00:51:27.589 In the ward, before it was brought here. 00:51:27.806 --> 00:51:30.475 All of these people have died in the last few hours? 00:51:30.476 --> 00:51:34.388 Well, it's only to be expected. This is the terminal illnesses ward. 00:51:34.646 --> 00:51:36.439 At least a couple of patients die every day, 00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:38.149 according to the senior nursing officer. 00:51:38.150 --> 00:51:40.568 He knew my movements, which encouraged him 00:51:40.569 --> 00:51:41.652 to commit the crime here. 00:51:41.653 --> 00:51:45.114 If he had meant to harm me, he would have killed Kalman. 00:51:45.115 --> 00:51:46.282 Or he could have seen you 00:51:46.283 --> 00:51:48.576 enter the ward and didn't know which of the two was your friend. 00:51:48.577 --> 00:51:50.077 A terminal patient 00:51:50.078 --> 00:51:51.412 on the point of death. 00:51:51.413 --> 00:51:53.991 A murder that wouldn't have been discovered had it not been 00:51:53.999 --> 00:51:56.451 - for the note. - Another imperceptible crime. 00:51:57.961 --> 00:52:02.249 And might I know what you're talking about, gentlemen? 00:52:02.591 --> 00:52:06.761 The second sign gives the clue as to how the sequence should be read. 00:52:06.762 --> 00:52:08.888 It could be figurative representations, 00:52:08.889 --> 00:52:12.892 or could be semantic or syntactic, like geometric figures. 00:52:12.893 --> 00:52:15.137 Can you translate that? 00:52:15.813 --> 00:52:17.355 The professor means the signs 00:52:17.356 --> 00:52:19.266 could represent things in the real world 00:52:19.650 --> 00:52:23.312 or not represent anything, be abstract, like geometric shapes. 00:52:23.654 --> 00:52:25.822 The second symbol is again astute, because, 00:52:25.823 --> 00:52:28.066 being so schematic, it allows both readings. 00:52:28.367 --> 00:52:32.279 It could be a game of symmetry, or it could simply be a fish. 00:52:32.412 --> 00:52:33.697 Soup, 00:52:34.540 --> 00:52:35.866 fish, 00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:38.452 dessert. 00:52:39.128 --> 00:52:41.163 Martin, show some respect 00:52:41.338 --> 00:52:42.338 for the inspector, please. 00:52:42.339 --> 00:52:44.958 No possibility deserves to be overlooked. 00:52:45.467 --> 00:52:47.294 Let me propose a puzzle. 00:52:47.469 --> 00:52:49.804 What is the fourth 00:52:49.805 --> 00:52:51.256 symbol... 00:52:52.182 --> 00:52:53.842 in this other series? 00:52:59.648 --> 00:53:01.023 No idea. 00:53:01.024 --> 00:53:02.976 Did you miss class that day, too? 00:53:03.485 --> 00:53:05.945 You just have to know how to look. The solution 00:53:05.946 --> 00:53:07.196 is very simple, I assure you. 00:53:07.197 --> 00:53:09.107 It's called the idiot series. 00:53:09.491 --> 00:53:10.616 Anyone who can't work it out... 00:53:10.617 --> 00:53:12.402 Thank you, professor. I get the message. 00:53:13.203 --> 00:53:17.032 However, I incline to the idea that the symbols relate to mathematics, 00:53:17.040 --> 00:53:18.575 rather than gastronomy. 00:53:18.584 --> 00:53:20.877 So, you think a mathematician's involved? 00:53:20.878 --> 00:53:24.873 It's possible, someone who seeks recognition of some sort, 00:53:25.883 --> 00:53:28.092 or someone who's not a mathematician but wants to be. 00:53:28.093 --> 00:53:29.302 A student? 00:53:29.303 --> 00:53:30.428 That's unlikely. 00:53:30.429 --> 00:53:31.762 Could you take 00:53:31.763 --> 00:53:33.715 the second lieutenant out, Martin? 00:53:33.891 --> 00:53:35.016 No, I haven't taught for a long time. 00:53:35.017 --> 00:53:37.226 Well, can you tell us 00:53:37.227 --> 00:53:39.562 what the third symbol 00:53:39.563 --> 00:53:40.639 will be? 00:53:41.648 --> 00:53:42.891 No. 00:53:43.108 --> 00:53:45.185 Far too many options. 00:53:45.527 --> 00:53:49.398 He's putting us to the test, and I wouldn't like to slip up. 00:53:49.406 --> 00:53:51.400 Okay, let's see if I've got this right. 00:53:52.576 --> 00:53:55.536 We are going to wait until he kills another person 00:53:55.537 --> 00:53:59.074 because we can't decipher this bloody puzzle? 00:54:00.793 --> 00:54:02.661 Tricky situation, isn't it? 00:54:04.046 --> 00:54:06.832 - Could I get those there? - 2.50 please, sir. 00:54:08.300 --> 00:54:09.710 Good evening. 00:54:30.197 --> 00:54:31.481 Seldom! 00:54:31.490 --> 00:54:32.698 Martin? 00:54:32.699 --> 00:54:34.408 Why are you following me? 00:54:34.409 --> 00:54:37.495 I'm not following anybody, for God's sake, least of all you! 00:54:37.496 --> 00:54:39.080 So what are you doing here? 00:54:39.081 --> 00:54:40.581 I'm going to that restaurant. 00:54:40.582 --> 00:54:42.458 Do you find it so odd that I should be going out for dinner? 00:54:42.459 --> 00:54:43.618 That's where I'm going, too. 00:54:44.461 --> 00:54:46.330 Why, that's absurd. 00:54:48.340 --> 00:54:49.632 I'm sorry. 00:54:49.633 --> 00:54:51.553 I should have told you Arthur was coming as well. 00:54:52.052 --> 00:54:54.379 Excuse me, Lorna, but I'm the one who's annoyed 00:54:54.388 --> 00:54:56.639 by the presence at our table of this good-for-nothing. 00:54:56.640 --> 00:54:57.674 Good-for-nothing? 00:54:58.392 --> 00:55:01.561 You couldn't see a joke if it stood up and bit you in the arse, Martin. 00:55:01.562 --> 00:55:02.687 You're far too serious 00:55:02.688 --> 00:55:05.606 - for your age. - He called me at the hospital and I 00:55:05.607 --> 00:55:07.441 just thought it would be best to bring you up to date together, so... 00:55:07.442 --> 00:55:11.821 Forget it, I'm not bothered by it. I just hope I didn't hurt you. 00:55:11.822 --> 00:55:14.031 Even if you had, I wouldn't admit it. 00:55:14.032 --> 00:55:15.741 You're like two kids fighting over a ball. 00:55:15.742 --> 00:55:18.403 - And you're the ball? - No, I'm the nurse who's gonna spank 00:55:18.412 --> 00:55:19.579 your bottoms if you don't shut up. 00:55:19.580 --> 00:55:20.947 Please. 00:55:22.207 --> 00:55:24.459 I talked with the forensic expert. 00:55:24.460 --> 00:55:25.460 And? 00:55:25.461 --> 00:55:26.578 Nothing. 00:55:27.838 --> 00:55:30.173 Not a trace of any toxic substance. 00:55:30.174 --> 00:55:32.216 Whatever he was injected with is totally unknown. 00:55:32.217 --> 00:55:33.551 Air, maybe? 00:55:33.552 --> 00:55:34.927 No! 00:55:34.928 --> 00:55:36.262 Let her speak, please. 00:55:36.263 --> 00:55:40.425 He's right, it's unlikely. If he'd been injected with air, 00:55:40.434 --> 00:55:42.761 they would have spotted it in the post mortem. 00:55:43.353 --> 00:55:46.439 However there is another possibility. A substance 00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:48.858 they extract from a poisonous mushroom: Amanita 00:55:48.859 --> 00:55:51.979 Muscaria. But there are no reagents that detect it. 00:55:51.987 --> 00:55:53.939 So it's a sort of secret among 00:55:53.947 --> 00:55:55.983 - forensic pathologists. - How did you find out? 00:55:56.158 --> 00:55:58.986 Lorna has a knack of finding out what she wants. 00:56:00.662 --> 00:56:02.413 Her house is littered with murder mysteries, 00:56:02.414 --> 00:56:04.540 but I imagine you know that by now. 00:56:04.541 --> 00:56:05.826 Yes, I do. 00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:09.378 What surprises me is that you haven't managed 00:56:09.379 --> 00:56:11.498 to worm all the information out of Martin. 00:56:12.841 --> 00:56:15.252 Martin is a good guy. He knows he can't tell anyone 00:56:15.260 --> 00:56:16.803 what you or the police have told him in confidence. 00:56:16.804 --> 00:56:18.846 Well, he does right not to tell you anything. 00:56:18.847 --> 00:56:20.932 After all, you're still on the list of suspects. 00:56:20.933 --> 00:56:21.891 Me? 00:56:21.892 --> 00:56:23.726 Well, don't look so surprised. 00:56:23.727 --> 00:56:25.728 Both murders are closely linked with the hospital. 00:56:25.729 --> 00:56:27.897 You could have gone into the room and injected 00:56:27.898 --> 00:56:29.190 that substance which, curiously, 00:56:29.191 --> 00:56:31.526 only you and the forensic pathologists know about. 00:56:31.527 --> 00:56:33.854 That's ridiculous. She has no motive. 00:56:33.946 --> 00:56:38.533 Of all the vast mountains of knowledge you have not yet scaled, 00:56:38.534 --> 00:56:42.738 Martin, this slope is one of the most slippery. Be careful. 00:56:43.622 --> 00:56:45.907 Don't even go there, Arthur. 00:56:48.669 --> 00:56:50.329 Let it suffice to say 00:56:51.004 --> 00:56:54.041 that our relationship transcended the purely intellectual, 00:56:54.925 --> 00:56:55.925 and when it ended, 00:56:56.718 --> 00:56:59.053 she took it anything but sportingly. 00:56:59.054 --> 00:57:00.854 If you don't shut up I'll kill you, I promise. 00:57:01.265 --> 00:57:02.591 There, you see? 00:57:03.851 --> 00:57:06.720 Has she or has she not got a motive? 00:57:06.979 --> 00:57:09.514 You are so obnoxious. 00:57:09.940 --> 00:57:12.309 You enjoy playing with people. 00:57:18.115 --> 00:57:19.900 Now do you understand? 00:57:20.200 --> 00:57:22.410 Any formulation is valid in the series, 00:57:22.411 --> 00:57:25.614 because we can always find a rule that justifies it. 00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:29.451 Heart on a line, now you've got the eight... 00:57:31.962 --> 00:57:33.830 now you give me the fourth. 00:57:40.220 --> 00:57:43.131 Well, well, young man. You are certainly not a total idiot. 00:57:44.683 --> 00:57:48.220 One, two, three, four. 00:57:49.313 --> 00:57:51.397 - This was easy. - The murderer's series 00:57:51.398 --> 00:57:53.558 is infinitely more complex. 00:57:55.611 --> 00:57:57.229 Tell me what the third symbol is. 00:57:57.780 --> 00:57:59.898 Circle, fish... 00:58:00.824 --> 00:58:02.275 What's the third? 00:58:03.410 --> 00:58:05.028 I'm sorry, I can't say. 00:58:05.954 --> 00:58:09.081 - Why not? Don't you trust me? - I trust you 00:58:09.082 --> 00:58:10.492 implicitly but that's not the point. 00:58:10.501 --> 00:58:12.494 If I tell you, then you'll stop thinking. 00:58:12.961 --> 00:58:15.004 You might come up with a better idea 00:58:15.005 --> 00:58:16.339 than mine. 00:58:16.340 --> 00:58:20.419 No, there's something else. You could have easily told the police. 00:58:20.469 --> 00:58:22.462 Forthem, anything is better than nothing. 00:58:22.888 --> 00:58:24.339 You're right. 00:58:25.766 --> 00:58:27.600 But there's a good reason why I didn't. 00:58:27.601 --> 00:58:29.101 I'm scared. 00:58:29.102 --> 00:58:30.102 Scared? 00:58:30.145 --> 00:58:33.231 This whole business terrifies me. 00:58:33.232 --> 00:58:35.608 We're playing with symbols and puzzles, 00:58:35.609 --> 00:58:37.235 but behind it all is the real world, 00:58:37.236 --> 00:58:40.230 do you understand?

You'd have been better off not saying anything at all. 01:01:51.305 --> 01:01:53.090 I know, and... 01:01:53.307 --> 01:01:55.967 as soon as I said it I regretted it but... 01:01:56.268 --> 01:01:57.761 I was angry with you and it was 01:01:57.769 --> 01:01:59.289 the first thing that came into my mind. 01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:01.189 What else did you tell him, Beth? 01:02:01.190 --> 01:02:03.392 I told him that I... 01:02:04.026 --> 01:02:07.270 I had a feeling that you weren't interested in me 01:02:08.071 --> 01:02:09.989 and that you preferred being with Seldom. 01:02:09.990 --> 01:02:11.324 Bloody hell! 01:02:11.325 --> 01:02:12.734 I'm sorry. 01:02:15.370 --> 01:02:18.206 You don't think they'll take something so stupid seriously? 01:02:18.207 --> 01:02:20.575 They take everything seriously, Beth. 01:02:21.794 --> 01:02:24.162 Well, I don't think it's going to put you on the spot. 01:02:24.171 --> 01:02:27.833 It's absurd that the police should think that you're the murderer. 01:02:30.344 --> 01:02:32.838 Does the perfect crime exist? 01:02:33.055 --> 01:02:36.341 For years, writers have speculated on this idea 01:02:36.433 --> 01:02:37.843 and murderers too. 01:02:37.893 --> 01:02:40.686 Some even managed to put the idea into practice. 01:02:40.687 --> 01:02:43.356 Like the case of Howard Green, in London. 01:02:43.357 --> 01:02:45.392 Green was a humble tailor, 01:02:46.151 --> 01:02:47.944 well-considered socially. 01:02:47.945 --> 01:02:51.155 He kept a diary which the police found in his own house. 01:02:51.156 --> 01:02:53.324 In the diary, he analyzed 01:02:53.325 --> 01:02:54.617 in great detail 01:02:54.618 --> 01:02:56.285 four teen ways of murdering 01:02:56.286 --> 01:03:00.248 his wife, for whom he professed a deep and secret 01:03:00.249 --> 01:03:01.582 hatred. Some of 01:03:01.583 --> 01:03:03.334 the procedures were ridiculous, 01:03:03.335 --> 01:03:05.878 others brutal, one or two 01:03:05.879 --> 01:03:07.296 really brilliant. 01:03:07.297 --> 01:03:09.132 But what Green understood at once 01:03:09.133 --> 01:03:11.467 was that the main danger for the criminal 01:03:11.468 --> 01:03:15.096 was not the possible investigation of facts in the past 01:03:15.097 --> 01:03:16.514 but the problems that 01:03:16.515 --> 01:03:18.425 might arise in the future. 01:03:18.559 --> 01:03:22.353 Every alibi contains an element of falsehood which with patience 01:03:22.354 --> 01:03:24.063 can be discovered. 01:03:24.064 --> 01:03:28.435 His conclusion was that the only perfect crime that exists 01:03:28.444 --> 01:03:32.196 is not the one that remains unsolved but the one 01:03:32.197 --> 01:03:34.941 which is solved with the wrong culprit. 01:03:35.576 --> 01:03:37.277 Does he kill her in the end? 01:03:37.786 --> 01:03:40.155 No, she kills him. 01:03:40.956 --> 01:03:43.659 One night she found the diary. 01:03:43.834 --> 01:03:45.626 She ended up stabbing him with 01:03:45.627 --> 01:03:46.870 the kitchen scissors. 01:03:48.005 --> 01:03:50.832 The jury, horrified by the reading of the diary, 01:03:50.883 --> 01:03:53.134 judge the murder to have been 01:03:53.135 --> 01:03:55.462 in self-defence and declare her innocent. 01:03:56.305 --> 01:03:57.513 Julia Green, 01:03:57.514 --> 01:04:00.175 you have been found not guilty, you are free to go. 01:04:02.227 --> 01:04:04.721 I don't understand. How is it the perfect crime? 01:04:05.022 --> 01:04:06.439 It was discovered recently 01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:09.317 that the handwriting in the diaries was not Howard Green's. 01:04:09.318 --> 01:04:10.818 So, who wrote them? 01:04:10.819 --> 01:04:14.398 His wife's lover, a forger of works of art. 01:04:14.990 --> 01:04:17.784 The murderer is 30/35 years old. 01:04:17.785 --> 01:04:21.329 Born into a lower middle class family, in a small town or a suburb 01:04:21.330 --> 01:04:22.656 of a big city. 01:04:22.915 --> 01:04:25.909 He's got the characteristics of a precocious genius. 01:04:26.210 --> 01:04:27.835 And probably 01:04:27.836 --> 01:04:29.579 some form of physical defect. 01:04:31.006 --> 01:04:32.840 He imagines that his talents 01:04:32.841 --> 01:04:36.928 triumph and that he can destroy those who humiliate him. 01:04:36.929 --> 01:04:38.638 Then his big chance arrives: 01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:42.551 to leave his environment and put his former world behind him. 01:04:42.893 --> 01:04:47.305 And it is here that something unexpected happens: he is rejected. 01:04:47.314 --> 01:04:50.892 For some, probably unfair reason, he is expelled 01:04:51.026 --> 01:04:54.403 from the place that he considers to be his by right. 01:04:54.404 --> 01:04:57.240 And he finds himself faced with the prospect 01:04:57.241 --> 01:04:59.681 of having to return to the world that he thought he'd escaped. 01:05:00.077 --> 01:05:03.621 Goodness, sounds like this woman knew him personally. 01:05:03.622 --> 01:05:06.457 That's crazy, she has no basis. 01:05:06.458 --> 01:05:08.835 In any case, we're not talking about a psychopath, 01:05:08.836 --> 01:05:11.038 there are no elements of cruelty. 01:05:11.130 --> 01:05:14.173 In fact, we could say that he is virtually innocent. 01:05:14.174 --> 01:05:18.636 Exactly. The psychologist puts special emphasis on that. 01:05:18.637 --> 01:05:20.138 The murderer is seeking 01:05:20.139 --> 01:05:22.049 vengeance and admiration. 01:05:22.057 --> 01:05:25.017 The murders are, in a sense, a way of paying court to you. 01:05:25.018 --> 01:05:27.770 There's a mixture of the desire for vengeance 01:05:27.771 --> 01:05:30.273 and the much stronger desire to belong 01:05:30.274 --> 01:05:33.894 to your world. He wants you to accept him, Seldom. 01:05:34.403 --> 01:05:35.361 He's trying to please you, 01:05:35.362 --> 01:05:38.614 as if he was in the first stages of falling in love. 01:05:38.615 --> 01:05:39.816 The psychologist 01:05:39.950 --> 01:05:43.487 thinks the murderer is a repressed homosexual who lives alone. 01:05:45.873 --> 01:05:48.200 Bad cut. You should have that seen to. 01:05:48.208 --> 01:05:50.202 I don't know what the hell... 01:05:50.210 --> 01:05:54.964 At least you didn't tip a pot of boiling coffee over your trousers. 01:05:54.965 --> 01:05:57.250 I'm an expert at that, believe me. 01:05:57.885 --> 01:06:00.629 If you want, we can carry on later. 01:06:01.054 --> 01:06:03.840 Yes, that might be an idea. 01:06:05.684 --> 01:06:07.143 Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit? 01:06:07.144 --> 01:06:09.812 The police are open to all sorts of hypotheses. 01:06:09.813 --> 01:06:12.315 Right now any formulation can be valid for them. 01:06:12.316 --> 01:06:13.649 You sound like Seldom. 01:06:13.650 --> 01:06:16.778 He's right, for God's sakes.

You're still in love with him. 01:06:33.712 --> 01:06:35.122 That's not funny. 01:06:36.924 --> 01:06:38.208 Sorry. 01:06:38.717 --> 01:06:41.552 It's as if Seldom was everywhere, it's a nightmare. 01:06:41.553 --> 01:06:43.805 There's nothing I've done that he hasn't done already, 01:06:43.806 --> 01:06:45.215 and apparently much better 01:06:45.265 --> 01:06:46.098 than me. 01:06:46.099 --> 01:06:47.642 What do you want me to do?

She couldn't put up 01:38:55.446 --> 01:38:57.488 with that woman any more so she killed her. 01:38:57.489 --> 01:38:59.691 That's when she sent you a note 01:38:59.825 --> 01:39:01.401 asking for help. 01:39:01.493 --> 01:39:03.654 I couldn't look her in the face. 01:39:05.038 --> 01:39:07.457 It was my fault that her father was killed in that accident 01:39:07.458 --> 01:39:09.785 30 years ago. 01:39:10.669 --> 01:39:12.462 I couldn't let her down again. 01:39:12.463 --> 01:39:14.373 We both met at the door. 01:39:14.506 --> 01:39:16.215 You'd come to get rid of the evidence, 01:39:16.216 --> 01:39:19.252 but I was there, in the way, and that spoiled everything. 01:39:20.387 --> 01:39:22.305 You had to come up with a new plan, in front of me, 01:39:22.306 --> 01:39:25.641 just moments before the police arrived. You read the word 01:39:25.642 --> 01:39:27.435 "circle" in German on the Scrabble rack, 01:39:27.436 --> 01:39:28.679 and that gave you the idea. 01:39:30.063 --> 01:39:31.689 A series with infinite possibilities. 01:39:31.690 --> 01:39:33.566 But you needed a second death 01:39:33.567 --> 01:39:36.110 to convince the police that the murderer was not Beth. 01:39:36.111 --> 01:39:38.188 And unwittingly, I helped you. 01:39:39.948 --> 01:39:43.485 I gave you the idea of how to do it, without even realising. 01:39:43.619 --> 01:39:45.070 An imperceptible murder. 01:39:45.245 --> 01:39:46.662 A murderer who only kills 01:39:46.663 --> 01:39:47.823 someone who is at 01:39:47.831 --> 01:39:49.207 death's door. You only had 01:39:49.208 --> 01:39:51.868 to wait for the occasion and prick the body with a syringe. 01:39:52.127 --> 01:39:55.038 That's when you sent the second message. The fish. 01:39:55.631 --> 01:39:58.299 You still didn't know where all this was going to lead. 01:39:58.300 --> 01:40:01.511 The possibilities of continuing the series were still infinite. 01:40:01.512 --> 01:40:03.846 You had to wait for another occasion to arise. 01:40:03.847 --> 01:40:06.099 And that could take weeks, months. 01:40:06.100 --> 01:40:07.551 There was no hurry. 01:40:07.684 --> 01:40:10.512 You probably had a different plan for the third death, 01:40:10.521 --> 01:40:13.849 but that triangle player suddenly appeared like a gift from the gods, 01:40:14.608 --> 01:40:17.735 - and you had your solution. - At first I rejected it. 01:40:17.736 --> 01:40:19.187 Too many people, too operatic. 01:40:20.239 --> 01:40:21.114 Don't lie. 01:40:21.115 --> 01:40:22.274 You couldn't waste 01:40:22.282 --> 01:40:23.692 a chance like that. 01:40:23.909 --> 01:40:27.404 What's more, there was a triangle. It all took on meaning! 01:40:28.163 --> 01:40:31.124 Beautiful... It was as if the damned Pythagoreans 01:40:31.125 --> 01:40:32.826 were on your side. 01:40:32.876 --> 01:40:35.795 It was perfect, but what's more important, 01:40:35.796 --> 01:40:37.789 it was totally inoffensive. 01:40:37.923 --> 01:40:39.916 Until the madman appeared. 01:40:40.509 --> 01:40:44.053 Any one of our acts can have unexpected consequences. 01:40:44.054 --> 01:40:45.422 That's what you most feared. 01:40:46.515 --> 01:40:47.974 Who was to know that poor devil 01:40:47.975 --> 01:40:50.226 was going to read the article in the paper? 01:40:50.227 --> 01:40:53.221 He was looking for a solution to his daughter's problem, 01:40:53.272 --> 01:40:56.274 while every day he drove to school those healthy children 01:40:56.275 --> 01:40:58.769 with perfect lungs but damaged brains. 01:40:59.111 --> 01:41:01.438 Why did they deserve to live and not his daughter? 01:41:01.738 --> 01:41:05.901 Mathematicians are not the only ones familiar with the Greeks, professor. 01:41:05.909 --> 01:41:09.287 You gave him his solution when you published the series. 01:41:09.288 --> 01:41:11.698 He also wanted to hide his crime. 01:41:11.790 --> 01:41:14.284 He only had to make a phone call, and he did. 01:41:26.013 --> 01:41:27.422 So... 01:41:28.974 --> 01:41:30.634 you think I'm the killer. 01:41:31.393 --> 01:41:32.678 No. 01:41:32.770 --> 01:41:34.680 You haven't killed anyone, 01:41:35.022 --> 01:41:38.976 but you're guilty of provoking the deaths of those innocent children. 01:41:39.485 --> 01:41:41.561 You're guilty of arrogance, 01:41:41.653 --> 01:41:44.648 of using us all like pieces on a board game. 01:41:45.532 --> 01:41:47.651 Who the hell do you think you are? 01:41:50.454 --> 01:41:54.616 I hope my failure has, at least, served to teach you something. 01:41:56.376 --> 01:41:58.412 Yes, one thing. 01:41:58.962 --> 01:42:01.248 One very painful thing. 01:42:01.965 --> 01:42:04.042 Numbers also lie. 01:42:04.301 --> 01:42:07.504 The truth is not mathematical, as I once believed. 01:42:07.721 --> 01:42:10.431 It's absurd, confused, random, 01:42:10.432 --> 01:42:13.135 disorderly, and deeply unpleasant. 01:42:13.769 --> 01:42:17.556 I'm glad that finally we can agree on something, Martin, my friend. 01:42:18.273 --> 01:42:20.726 Just one thing has escaped you. 01:42:25.155 --> 01:42:26.982 The real culprit. 01:42:28.450 --> 01:42:31.619 The one who triggered off this whole string of crimes. 01:42:31.620 --> 01:42:33.162 Who? 01:42:33.163 --> 01:42:34.531 You, Martin. 01:42:35.541 --> 01:42:36.916 Don't make me laugh. 01:42:36.917 --> 01:42:39.494 If you don't believe me, then speak to Beth. 01:42:40.170 --> 01:42:41.997 She was in love with you, 01:42:42.673 --> 01:42:44.499 or weren't you aware of that? 01:42:45.676 --> 01:42:48.587 She remembered your words exactly. 01:42:50.055 --> 01:42:51.923 "You should try it." 01:42:52.307 --> 01:42:55.768 "You should try it," pounded time and again 01:42:55.769 --> 01:42:57.929 inside her head, like a hammer. 01:42:58.814 --> 01:43:01.308 "You should be free, like me." 01:43:03.527 --> 01:43:05.687 That's what she understood, 01:43:06.905 --> 01:43:08.732 and that's what she did. 01:43:09.950 --> 01:43:13.111 Put an end to what prevented her from being free... 01:43:16.373 --> 01:43:18.325 her own mother. 01:43:19.501 --> 01:43:20.744 The butterfly 01:43:22.004 --> 01:43:24.755 that flutters its wings and causes a hurricane 01:43:24.756 --> 01:43:26.917 on the other side of the world. 01:43:29.219 --> 01:43:31.171 Sound familiar? 01:43:33.891 --> 01:43:36.969 Are you that butterfly, Martin?
