Callie
Nikesh, can you hear me? Nikesh?

Nikesh
Where are you, Callie? I can barely hear you?

Callie
I’m at Dreamers’ Cliffs. Nikesh, can you hear me?

Nikesh
Just about. What have you got?

Callie
People are taking pictures. I’ve been here for half an hour and it’s not busy but people take pictures. I asked one of them and they said they post them… on Instagram. They like the hashtag - #dreamers. I’m on my way back in. I need you to see if any photos from Tuesday have been posted - it might tell us who was in the area. 

Nikesh
On it.

2. OFFICE, LATER

Evan
Did you watch the City game last night?

Nikesh
Nah. I was here. Worth it?

Evan
You didn’t miss much… Thought you might like to know, I was at the Phelps’ this morning. I’m their family liaison.

Nikesh
How are they? 

Evan
Sad. Angry. She’s got her sister there with her. Pip said something funny though. Might be of note, might not.

Nikesh
Yeah?

Thanks for all your comments. Here's what some of you have been saying...

Since the beginning I have suspected that his wife was the murderer, just my feeling.
Supandi, Indonesia

I simply love BBC Learning English and I´m falling in love with this amazing crime drama!
Villy, Brazil

I've been enjoying learning English with this interesting drama. I guess that Jamie Phelps is alive. He probably raked together money in unlawful way to pay the ransomware, and disguised his suicide. Lucy lied about the identification because she was his conspirator.
Eiko, Japan

I am deeply dragged into the plot. I reviewed the previous episodes trying to collect every detail to establish a reasonable story. From the people who are involved, I think the celebrity chef was most suspicious. They had conversation through their phones that morning. Was Jamie really asking for his paperwork of accounts? It is not making sense. Then imagine while a person in Jamie’s situation, what would be in his mind and what he would do?
Lucy, New Zealand

Lucy is behind everything, I say!
Ashley, Portugal

There's no doubt that the celebrity chef Arthur Montgomery is involved in the crime. It's getting more mysterious though. I believe in our detectives - they definitely will solve the mystery case.
Amani, Saudi Arabia
