关于Ozempic以及相关 (generic, off-brand, off-label, compounding, replica, knock-off version): 1. brand-name 品牌的, 名牌的: having a special name that is known to most people: The brand-name airlines are slashing their costs to survive and compete with low-cost carriers. Currently, an exemption allows Australian compounding pharmacists to individually reproduce brandname drugs in times of shortage, meaning replica drugs are legal, but they are not subject to the same stringent safety checks as brandname pharmaceuticals. 2. off-label: be prescribed "off-label" by medical practitioners to treat conditions other than those approved by the TGA. Off-label prescribing involves prescriptions to treat conditions other than those approved by the TGA. It is a regular occurrence in the Australian healthcare system, particularly for uncommon diseases and conditions or underrepresented patient groups. Pharmacists should be aware that stock availability can change and sudden spikes in demand due to stockpiling 囤积, 囤货 or off-label use may affect continuity of care for patients stabilised on Ozempic. Ozempic and Mounjaro are a popular "off-label" choice for doctors treating patients wanting to lose weight, but the drugs are only approved by the TGA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. 3. off-brand adj. of an unknown, unpopular, or inferior brand of retail product. not having a recognized or popular brand or name an off-brand TV set.

A compounding pharmacy 合成药, 特制药 is a specialist pharmacy that is able to create medications on-site and essentially "customise" them for patients. Doctors might prescribe compounded medication for their patients if what they need isn't commercially available, for example a liquid formulation for a child who can't swallow a tablet. Compounding is legal, but pharmacists need to follow strict regulatory guidelines that dictate when and why a medicine might be compounded. It's due to a grey area in these guidelines — which says existing medicines may be replicated 仿制, 仿造 when there isn't a suitable commercial option — that some compounding pharmacies have been producing off-brand Ozempic and Mounjaro. 5. generic medicine (knockoff version, replica): I. You use generic 通用的 to describe something that refers or relates to a whole class of similar things. shared by, typical of, or relating to a whole group of similar things, rather than to any particular thing: The new range of engines all had a generic problem with their fan blades. Parmesan is a generic term used to describe a family of hard Italian cheeses. I will refer to child abuse generically (which includes physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and neglect). ...something generically called 'rock 'n' roll'. II. A generic drug or other product is one that does not have a trademark and that is known by a general name, rather than the manufacturer's name. a product, especially a drug, that is no longer owned or legally controlled by a particular company: The biggest difference between the brand-name drugs and the generics is price. They encourage doctors to prescribe cheaper generic drugs. Brand names only are given, as generics are not usually prescribed. The study found large variations in quality for both brand-name and generic drugs. generic equivalents/versions Generic versions of the drugs would surely be cheaper. generic goods/medications/products. ( proprietary [prəˈpraɪə.tər.i] relating to owning something, or relating to or like an owner.

Doing so could come with real harm. The popularity of the drugs, combined with uneven insurance coverage, has given rise to a cottage industry 手工作坊, 小作坊, 家庭作坊, 黑工厂 of online retailers( cottage industry I. a small business run from home. A cottage industry is a small business that is run from someone's home, especially one that involves a craft such as knitting or pottery. Bookbinding is largely a cottage industry.

Some require only a cursory medical consultation. Others forgo it altogether. Consumers should be extremely wary. "Generic Ozempic" is a misleading term because Ozempic's manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, still has patent exclusivity. Ozempic, the brand name for semaglutide used to treat diabetes, and Wegovy, the name for obesity treatment, have been approved by the FDA. (Ozempic is also prescribed off-label for weight loss, and "Ozempic" has often been used colloquially to describe the class of drugs that includes semaglutide.) Generic medications also require FDA approval, but the knockoff versions being distributed have not gone through that process. Rather, knockoffs are made through a procedure called compounding, which allows pharmacies to tailor medications for patients with specific clinical needs. For example, an individual with an allergy to one component of a commercially available drug can request a compounding pharmacist to reformulate the medication without that ingredient. The FDA-approved semaglutide is a "base" form. This is different from "salts" such as semaglutide acetate or semaglutide sodium, which are available for research purposes and used by some compounders. The FDA has warned that the salt versions 盐类 do not meet federal requirements for compounding. Patients should not take them, and they should stay away from vials labeled "for research use only."

Them's the rules( It's an idiom used by particular groups of English speakers (Southern Americans, Brooklynites, for example) in colloquial speech. It means, those are the rules. If you see it in printed form, it will likely be in dialogue spoken by a person who uses a distinct dialect. Here are some examples of its use over the years. You'll see that each example contains a heavy dose of other dialectical pronunciations and informal ungrammatical constructions. From a magazine called Old Guard, published in the 1860s in New York City: "If the tin's here empty when I comes back, I takes it away. If the wittals is here, why I takes them away. Them's the rules." From a literary magazine called The Writer published in 1927: Wot you a-doin' of? Writin' up yer diry? Eat an' walk--them's the rules 'ere. They's others writin'." From a book called From the Brooklyn Side published in 2000: "Them's the rules, Dominick. We either live by 'em or we die by 'em. But we ain't gonna break 'em for nobody." Occasionally, the expression will be used in a jokey manner, as @Barrie England points out, by someone who speaks proper English to express the irony of the rules. As if those rules have been created by an uneducated person who would say "them's the rules" and not "those are the rules." For example, in this passage from a book called Resurrection Day published in 2000: "Not my problem. Them's the rules, and that's why I'm about to pull the pin and get out of this rotten city on full pension." Because it is an ungrammatical idiom, it is best used either humorously or ironically unless it is in the written dialogue of a character who speaks in that dialect, and then it can be used literally (meaning those are the rules) and to your heart's content. ). I reckon it was just Alex's way to get shot of ( get shot of = be shot of get rid of. to get rid of or free of something, or to leave something: I can't wait to get shot of this office for a week. I suspect he left home to get shot of that awful mother of his. The whole project had been a nightmare and I couldn't wait to be shot of it. The car was never right for her and she was pleased to get shot of it. She had been unhappy living in London for a while and was glad to be shot of it."Helen couldn't wait to get shot of me". ) Rosa. And who amongst us can blame him? 5. One hurdle 障碍 down. Three more to go. 6. Neurorehabilitation. That's the goal. We help stroke victims, those who have lost limbs or are paralyzed, from birth or from an accident. At the moment, it's prohibitively 让人望而却步的 expensive to offer this sort of care. But we think 3-D printing will change all that. And that? We also have another branch that focuses primarily on the industrial uses of robotics... Making workers more efficient, maximizing productivity. Why is it behind glass? Why is it behind glass? It's not always a good idea to mix man and machine. Machine usually wins. Rosa was plugging the competition, mostly. But it's an opportunity to advertise what we do here. Jake's here helping me for when we float the business later this year, but mostly he's my fiancé. 7. Rosa's stuff. That comes to me, right, as next of kin? When we've finished with it. I wrote her some letters... You know, from Afghanistan. Photos of guys who... Well, you know.

And that's got to be worthwhile. Better than selling and buying schmutter ( schmutter [ˈʃmʌtə] I. clothing; garments. People will pay a fortune for designer schmutter. He opened a shop in the Kings Road selling hippy schmutter. The word schmutter comes from the Yiddish word for rag. II. worthless material; rubbish. ). A retail empire is a bit more than that. It's all about buying and selling, Inspector. My daughter's got to learn that when I step down. Heather's taking over Paradisum? In a year or so, maybe sooner. And how does your son, Ray, feel about his sister taking over? Probably relieved. Ray is not really cut out for business. And Heather is? She understands. We might have the, uh, the cars, the helicopters, the yachts, but it's still a street fight, Inspector. Always will be. Thank you. Heather has always been able to get what she wants. Daddy's little girl. You don't approve? Naked ambition 赤裸裸的雄心 is never attractive. You don't want to take over? I don't have the stomach. How well did you know Rosa Corrigan? I didn't. So what did you row about at the gala? It wasn't a row. Your stepdaughter, Heather, says different. Oh, I'm sure she does. Gliding the knife in, was she? I don't think she's your biggest fan. Imagine my surprise. Rosa wanted to talk to Andrew again about him stepping down. It was fairly clear she wanted to write a piece about the family... Tensions, rivalries. Cheap and obvious. I told her it wasn't going to happen. And she disagreed? She wasn't happy about it, but... I have watched this disease eat away the man I love. And it won't stop until it destroys him completely. I want what is left of his life to be as easy as possible. Inspector. Had I wanted to, I could simply have picked up the phone. Paradisum has hot and cold running lawyers ( That is a humorous statement. When living quarters developed hot and cold running water, it was a major change and a major convenience. These days, when one encounters a mansion with many servants or a party with many servers, one could say (tongue in cheek), "This place has hot and cold running servants." ) whose job it is to deal with much bigger fish than Rosa Corrigan. I could have shut her down in a heartbeat. Why would I kill her? It's... inelegant. 9. The call was made 100 yards from where you live. Do you honestly think I'm that petty? I think it was an easy solution to an increasingly frustrating problem. 9. You didn't share your mother's resentment? I can't remember a time when Mum wasn't obsessed with dancing... Competing, rehearsing, always traveling, competing, rehearsing, always traveling, always somewhere else, barely seeing me. My whole life. I hate it. If she never danced another step, I'd be happy. So no, I didn't share her resentment, I didn't care about her rival, and I sure as hell didn't deliberately run Rosa off the road. 10. Heather! Jakey boy! How's that prototype leg coming on? 11. The Chinese deal going ahead? With luck and a following wind ( following wind 顺风 a wind that is blowing in the same direction as the one in which you are going. a wind that is moving in the same direction as the course of a vessel etc The fleet is heading across the Bay of Biscay in light following winds towards Cape Finisterre.

Grandad's car could only do 40 kilometres an hour downhill with a following wind. ). 12. The margin 收益 on these things is... is off the chart. And we have the exclusive import rights. Yeah. It's a license to print money, Dad. So you're gonna make a deal. Congratulations. Then what? Oh, I don't... One deal. So what? Come back to me when you've made 20 deals. 13. He encourages it? My husband doesn't have the time to be jealous. Then why keep it a secret? You know how people think. They wouldn't understand how Andrew would be okay with it. I can't spare him much, Inspector, but I can spare him that ( spare verb. I. If you have something such as time, money, or space to spare, you have some extra time, money, or space that you have not used or that you do not need. You got here with ninety seconds to spare.

I thought it was fun. It's no secret that the whole camp-as-Christmas ( camp as Christmas A phrase to affirm someone or something's 'camp ness' When you think about it, Christmas is pretty camp. Shopping, tinsel and sparkly baubles! You can't get much more camp than that! "That Elton John and his fella, are as camp as Christmas" ) thing is an act 做给人看的, and I knew he had a reputation. But I guess I was flattered. I know I should've known better. I thought he'd be exciting to be with, but... he'd get jealous as soon as I even spoke to anyone else. Same rules didn't apply to him, though. He was unfaithful? Like other people breathe. I ended it, and he was pathetic about it at first, begging me to stay. Then he got nasty. When he started dancing with Tanya, I thought it'd put a stop to it all. Are you sure it's him? He knows my passwords. He still has the keys to here. Well, why wouldn't you change the locks? I didn't think I needed to. 15. Are you feeling okay? Competition getting to you? Bunions [ˈbʌnjə] 拇指外翻(A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe.

That they didn't find what they were looking for at Duncan's. So they went back to look again at Rosa's. But why burn the place down? I'm guessing because they couldn't find what they were looking for and wanted to make sure no one else could find it. Yeah. Well, they did a good job. It's gutted. I know the feeling. What if they couldn't find what they were looking for at either place because it was never there to begin with? 19. After we split up, Anton did send me abusive texts. They were disgusting. I begged him to stop, and he said he would. But I still see him at dance comps, smiling that knowing 心知肚明的, 你知我知的笑 smile. He always knew exactly how to get under my skin. Why didn't you go to the police when he started bothering you? They're a bunch of texts. It's hardly enough, so... But... you made up a bunch of stuff he hadn't done. 20. You weren't that interested. You still aren't. If it weren't for Sarah, you wouldn't be here. I don't live next door, you know. It's Sheffield, Dad. It's not the other side of the world. When was the last time you came to see Betty? When was the last time you came to see me? Well, it takes two to tango. As you would know, of course. Well, maybe some other time. I think I'll just go for a lie-down( Maybe I'll turn in. Got an early start 得早起 in the morning. ). 21. Colonel Dawes is also part of a group of ex-soldiers who make it their business to hunt down fakes like you. They've got quite a file on you, including how you conned two women out of their savings. Jake, tell me. You were engaged to both of them, too. No. This can't be true. The stakes were higher this time, though, weren't they? You couldn't afford any mistakes. Like this photograph. Rosa Corrigan completely missed it. She was concentrating on writing about the Wilders. But all the same, she had taken that photo, and you couldn't have that. I don't know what you're talking about. Even if Rosa hadn't seen the significance of that ribbon, someone else might. 22. You have mouth gel. Well, lots of dancers use it. Um, especially during performance week... Blisters, bruised toenails... All sorts. It dulls the pain. Just bought it? Uh, yes. A tube of aloe gel was found at the scene of Rosa Corrigan's murder. Like I said, lots of dancers use it. She didn't. She was allergic to lidocaine.

Midsomer Murders: 1. This is one of the county's most notable collections of dolls' houses 玩具屋, and we're delighted to be adding it to our existing display. So please welcome our generous new sponsor, Alexander Beauvoisin. Now, you might be thinking, he doesn't look much like a dolls' house aficionado. You'd be right! But what I do know about is family. These incredible miniatures were actually collected by my great-aunt Olive, the founder of the Beauvoisin Estates. She taught me to value family above everything else. Homes are the lifeblood of any community. They're the place we raise our children. They're the place we make memories. They're the place we feel safe. And that's why it's so fitting that Beauvoisin Estates be making this donation. 3. And no one saw the shooter? No one actually saw the gun go off, but everyone's talking about a man giving the victim a slow handclap from the back of the room beforehand. He's disappeared. See if CCTV picked him up. We need to know who he is and where he is. 4. Whoever tried to help him had the sense to recognize that air was getting into the chest cavity. They improvised a seal. They did a decent job on packing the exit wound too. Anything else you can tell me? Don't move house the weekend you're on call. Didn't know you were moving. Desperately needed more space. What for? My many and varied interests. 5. This house (miniature house) hinges at the back. It's been left open. And the frame's been blown out. And the chest of drawers is singed ( singe [sɪndʒ] 有燃烧痕迹 verb If you singe something or if it singes, it burns very slightly and changes colour but does not catch fire. to burn slightly on the surface, without producing flames: My sweater started to singe when I leaned over a burning candle.

II. (of a carcass) subjected to flame in order to remove hair, bristles, feathers, etc.: Using a knife, the butcher scrubbed the crust off the singed carcass of a pig.). I think we know where they took their shot. 6. I'm in charge of exhibits here. It's because they're toys, you see? People fail to show the necessary respect. I'm D.C.I. Barnaby. This is, uh, D.S. Winter. He will ensure that every care is taken. 7. You did everything you could. You must have first aid training? Oh, years ago, yeah. When I was a holiday rep ( short for holiday representative: someone who works for a travel company giving help and advice to people who are on holiday in a particular place. A holiday rep is someone employed by a holiday company to help look after people when they are on holiday.  My first job was as a holiday rep in Majorca. ). 8. And how were things with his wife? Oh, they were fighting over the house. I stayed well out of it. But she was in the car park with me when he was killed. Kept giving me dirty looks. So when she left, I went to have it out ( have it out attempt to resolve a dispute or misunderstanding by confronting someone and engaging in a frank discussion or argument. to talk to someone about something they have done that makes you angry, in order to try to solve the problem: She'd been late for work every morning and I thought I'd better have it out with her. "give her the chance of a night's rest before you have it out with her". ) with her. She seems genuine enough. Assuming the wife backs up her alibi. She was lying about that first aid training. I don't know what 18-to-30s holiday reps are expected to do these days, but I doubt it includes the treatment of gunshot wounds. Look into that removals firm. And find out if she's ever held a firearms certificate. 9. You'll probably hear some horrible things about Xander, you know, but he was a successful man, and it makes people jealous. Or I don't know, what's the word 都在说些什么, 谣言是怎样的( I. What's going on with you? What's new? (Used as a greeting.) A: "Hey, Trent." B: "Yo, what's the word, dude?" Haven't seen you in a while!

B: "The boss said they're still finalizing details in the contract." What's the good word on that party? Is it happening or not? )? Mercenary (mercenary [disapproval] adj. 只为了钱的.

He had some mercenary scheme to marry a wealthy widow. noun. A mercenary is a soldier who is paid to fight by a country or group that they do not belong to.  ). Are you talking about someone in particular? Well, his wife, for one. Doesn't do a day's work in 20 years and then suddenly thinks she's entitled to every penny in the divorce. We used to run the soft play ( Soft play refers to a specifically-designed play area where almost all surfaces and equipment are covered in thick padding. This gives children a soft environment where they are safe to act in ways they otherwise might not be able to.) center together, but then we had some creative differences. I see. So where were... Look, in fact, I've been meaning to talk to the police about this because when she left, she stole some things. Play mats, rugs. My favorite orange bag with a monkey on it! Sorry, it's not important now. Where were you when the gun went off? Uh, near the entrance, putting up my posters. You know, Maxine didn't even let me tender for this job ( tender verb I.

Because I saw them with Xander in the car park before the event, and they did not look happy. What do you mean? Oh, tearing strips off him ( to tear a strip off 大发雷霆 If you tear a strip off someone or if you tear them off a strip, you speak to them angrily and criticize them severely. to criticize someone in a forceful way He heard Nora tearing a strip off an orderly for not returning the food bins to the kitchen soon enough. The police arrived to tear him off a strip.  ), the poor man. I don't know what it was about, but it looked vicious. 10. Birdbrain called. She loved being the one to tell me. I'm sorry... birdbrain? Jemima Starling. Alexander's one-woman fan club. This isn't a celebration, by the way. It's the only thing I had to hand. 11. You know who shot your husband? Well, I didn't see the gun. But it was Wesley Peters, surely. I mean, they let him out of prison, and then within 24 hours he's standing there, eyeballing Alexander and giving him this very aggressive round of applause. How did Alexander know him? Wesley had the maintenance contracts for his properties. But he messed up. A girl died. The faulty boiler? He got five years for manslaughter, but he claimed that Alexander set him up. I understand there was conflict over the house. The day I filed for divorce, I came home to find he'd changed the locks. Then there were all these schemes for hiding his wealth. I gave up everything for him, but he was determined that I should leave with nothing. So why go to his fundraiser? To stand up to him. I loved those dolls' houses. He was giving them away to spite me. 12. You can ask his latest bimbo. What do you know about. Alexander's relationship with Holly? Enough to know that "relationship" is pushing it. He met her at work. 13. Just put that away, yeah? They've lined me up a job here starting tomorrow. You're out on license, is that right? Since yesterday. And your top priority when you got out was a visit to the museum? Look, I'm not denying I was there. But I didn't kill him. You believe Alexander framed you for the manslaughter of Lara Wokoma. I know he did, 'cause I never signed off on that boiler. He sent some kid 'round to patch it up, then faked the certificate. Some kid? Nicco Dearden. He was only 18. Came 'round asking for odd-job work 零工, 散工. Obviously to fund a habit. You could tell by looking at him. But he was cheaper than me, and that's what mattered. 14. Ah. Well, let me know if I can help. There's a pile of flat-pack 拆散了的 furniture( Flat pack furniture is furniture such as shelves and cupboards which you buy as a number of separate pieces and assemble yourself. a piece of furniture that is sold in pieces inside a flat box, ready for the buyer to put them together It arrives as a flat pack and is bolted together on site.) with your name on it. You're not moving too, are you? Oh, they're persons of interest. The Wokomas? They're good lads. You know them? They did my move 给我搬家 last time. Much better than the cowboys I used this time 'round. They've had a rough time. The mother died a few years ago, then Lara. Don't go upsetting them. I can be sensitive. Just let me know when you're ready. For what? That flat-pack. I know you were only offering to be polite, but that's not my problem, is it? 15. I'm very sorry about what happened to your daughter. He wasn't. You know he never even made contact with us? So worried about saving his own skin( save your/someone's skin/hide to try to save yourself from something dangerous or unpleasant, often without caring what happens to anyone else. to protect yourself or someone else from danger or difficulty: He has saved my skin more than once. There is no justification for killing another human to save your own skin. You lied to me to save your hide. The government is trying to save its own skin rather than trying to help the victims of the disaster.  ), couldn't say sorry to a grieving family. 16. No, I went to Lara's grave with her brother. We always take flowers around her birthday. Are you sure you were there at 5:00 p.m.? Positive. I was supposed to have swim training, but I missed it. Because I just spoke to my boss, and Finn's saying that he was at home with his father at that time. Then he's confused. Did you drive there? Maybe we can trace your car? We walked along the canal. Look, Finn's been upset, so he must have it wrong, because he was definitely with me at 5:00. 17. And Maxine Dobson leaves by this exit here. Then this must be the moment that Wesley Peters does his slow handclap. I went back through the statements. Plenty of people saw him, but no one remembers specifically where he was when the gun went off. And there's Fiona Beauvoisin... and Holly Ackroyd leaving, which backs up their account. 18. Do you run this place together? Um, sort of. I'm her lodger 记账的, but I've always helped out. You used to run a soft play center with Jemima Starling? Yeah. Never go into business with your quirky friend. They might just turn out to be your insane friend. So who owns it now? Oh, still both of us. She's gonna buy me out. 19. A witness saw you and Maxine arguing with Alexander in the museum car park shortly before he was killed. Yeah, because it was getting ridiculous. He actually paid someone to stand outside the shop scaring customers away. He admitted to this? Yeah, he was proud of it. He admitted to this? Look, when you speak to Maxine, she's not... She doesn't find things easy socially. Through here? She must think this place is soundproof. I'm not some delicate flower 温室的花朵. Ask me whatever you like. The argument you had with Alexander... I won't apologize for standing up to him. His great-aunt Olive promised me a lifetime's tenancy. She was a collector, you see? She appreciated the craft. 20. Carys said you have a long waiting list for commissions? And they can wait. This one's for me. Why didn't you tell me that you argued with Alexander less than an hour before he died? I said quite clearly he had a long list of tenants who hated him. You just neglected to mention that 隐瞒 you were on that list? It didn't seem relevant to me. Then again, I know I didn't shoot him. Why did you need to leave the room to get a drink? There was a table full of prosecco in there. Do I strike you as a prosecco drinker? I had a hip flask of single malt. Maxine, you do understand the seriousness of this? A man you had a public feud with is dead, and you haven't been able to provide us with an alibi. I can't alter the facts. If you find some evidence against me, I'm sure you'll tell me. 21. And it wasn't part of his divorce proceedings? What do you mean? Well, he sells you this building at a huge discount, reducing the value of his assets on paper, and then you sell it back to him further down the line. It's a nice idea, but no. If that were the case, his death means that all this is yours to keep. You're half a million pounds up. You're wasting your time! 22. Have you spoken to Maxine? Because I've remembered something. When I saw Xander arguing with her outside, he said he knew all about her "little side project." And that seemed to shut her up. Did you hear anything else? No. Perhaps I should've stayed. Were you in love with Alexander? No! So you didn't tell him you were in love with him at a work party before he rejected you ( She was in love with him, bless her. And told him as much 如实相告 at one of their work parties. And he laughed at her. think/say etc as much to think or say the thing that has just been mentioned Carson strongly disapproved of the plan and said as much at the meeting. 'Max was lying all the time.' 'I thought as much.' )? You know, our friendship really got to her. So you didn't? Well, I might have said something, maybe a bit like that, you know, when I was drunk. Like, you know, "You're the best, you are! I love you!" But I didn't kill him out of a crime of passion. 23. To what do we owe the pleasure? They're coming home to mama! Thank God. They've been pining away ( pine away 相思成灾, 相思病 to become very sick and weak because you miss somebody/something very much. to become thin and weak because of sadness or loss Since his wife left him, he spends his days alone, pining away. After his wife died, he just pined away. ). Breaks my heart to see it. We... We had a visit from the police this morning about Lara's landlord. You're not working on that case, are you? You know I can't get into that. No. Of course. I shouldn't have put you on the spot, should I? Well, the kettle's on if you have time. 24. I've been in contact with Alexander's solicitor. Very loyal, isn't she? In that she refused your bribe? When the person you're divorcing plays dirty, you have to play even dirtier. You believed he was concealing his wealth. Financially, you come away with more as his widow than as his ex-wife. I don't see how this has any relevance, given I have an alibi. I was outside the building with Holly when the gun went off. I'm not suggesting you pulled the trigger. I imagine you're more of a delegator. Oh, you think I paid someone else to do it? What a fertile imagination 丰富的想象力. I wouldn't even call it a row. I guess it sounded bad to the removal guys 搬家公司的人, but it was like two seconds. What was it about? Oh, he couldn't find his cufflinks. And, well, no offense, but he's a man, so straightaway he thinks I've tidied them away or something. Did he accuse you of stealing them? Not seriously. We thought they might've gone in the break-in. 25. I was taking the little furniture out to bubble-wrap it, and I caught my hand 夹了手了. If there's blood in there, it's mine, not his. Will you consent to a DNA test? Have you got a warrant? No? Well, feel free to come back when you have. 26. Alexander sent this to Erin on Wednesday night with this two-word e-mail. "Let's talk." Then, on Friday morning, she canceled the protest. Didn't Wesley claim it was someone called Nicco Dearden who messed up the boiler? Exactly. Erin seems pretty pally with him. Doesn't she? And door-to-door turned up something interesting on her too. Guess who Alexander's neighbor saw near the house. 27. Forensics called when I was on my way back from getting these. The purple thread found in the dolls' house is a match for Jemima's costume. Really? The lights were still on in the soft play center as I drove past just now. It's too late to go and talk to her, isn't it? Come on, leave that. It'll stay warm. 28. I was having a difficult time after my mum died. I was her carer. It all got a bit too much. I started helping out at the toy shop, and Jemima was one of our regulars. She made me laugh. So, what happened between you? Squabbles about this place. Uh, I think if we hadn't tried to work together, things would've been fine. Can you think of anyone that would want to hurt her? She was harmless. We came across this. Our insurance? Jemima's death means that you inherit this entire place with the mortgage paid off. Right. Well, that's news to me. Jemima set it all up. It leaves you very comfortable. 29. Yeah, she was here. There are marks in the fresh paint and a purple feather. I think she was leaning against the fence. What can you see from there? What can you see from there? Uh, just the first rows of containers. I'll free up some manpower. We'll get those searched. You think the Wokomas will cooperate with that? They won't have a choice. We'll just turn up there with a warrant. 30. You're not into this stuff too, are you? Ah. Came across it in the move. I thought it could be a useful teaching aid. See? I can re-create crime scenes. I have increasing reservations about you. I'd listen to that instinct. The phone masts put her near the house where they canceled the party at 6:00 p.m. Then she's picked up again by the mast near the Wokoma storage facility at 6:40. She's not renting a unit. 31. Who benefits from both deaths? Mm, Carys inherits the building from Jemima. And with Alexander dead, she doesn't have to give it back. That would all be premeditated, though. Now, Alexander's death seems planned, but it looks like Jemima was killed in a panic. I think she witnessed something either at the museum or at the storage facility. But why didn't she tell us? Well, perhaps she didn't realize its significance. Or perhaps she was afraid. 32. You were seen, Erin. We know exactly where you dropped the gun. There's a dive team on its way. No. You've got this wrong. Well, in that case, there won't be a scrap of your DNA on it, will there? It's calm water 静水. Don't assume it'll just wash away. I haven't killed anyone. 33. He had a gun? We found them in house clearances. He used to hand them in, but sometimes he... he doesn't. And he keeps them in the office? Yeah. He always changes the code to the safe when he's got one. He didn't ask me to do any of this, okay? I just... I panicked, Erin, didn't I? But I'm sure it was all in my head 自己想象的. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry Finn thinks I'm capable of that. But I've never fired that gun. I need you to open your safe, please. I just pass them on to a gunsmith. That's still illegal. Well, what am I meant to do? We're still covering the costs of the civil case. We're drowning in it. Jemima Starling, friend of Alexander's. She was murdered yesterday. Sounds like she should've chosen her friends more carefully. 34. Alexander was shot. You're a skilled markswoman 枪手, and you've been lying through your teeth. I wanted to be straight with you after he died. But Fiona was worried about how it would look. She paid me to keep the Holly thing going. 35. Carys was packaging things to go to Tokyo. Mm. Mainly five-star reviews. Except this one, back in March. A collector accuses her of misselling a jack-in-the-box. How do you do that? No spring? She claimed that it's a one-of-a-kind prototype from the 1930s. But then the collector found there was one on display here. Ah! The only example of this prototype in existence. Half the things she's selling here are identical to the ones in these cases. She's making and selling fake antiques. I most certainly am not. Every item I sell is 100% authentic. It's these that are the fakes. You've been stealing the exhibits? Why not? It doesn't make a jot of difference to the visitors. They have no respect for the collection. Better to have replicas here and let the originals go to collectors, who appreciate them. 36. Have you got something? Whoever wiped it on the outside forgot to think about the magazine. It's giving me a match. Wesley Peters. Is he a person of interest? He very much is. Thank you. I'm needed back at the storage units. Call me as soon as you find Wesley Peters. 37. But I swear, I was never going to use the gun. I didn't even have ammunition. But you admit that you brought it to the museum. Only to frighten him. I was gonna wind him up until he'd follow me out into the car park. I had the van ready for him. So your plan was to force him into the van and bring him here and then torture him on camera? I needed him to say, on tape, that he set me up. That I never should've gone to prison. Did Samuel Wokoma provide you with the gun? 38. I hear you've been digging your heels in. Alexander Beauvoisin wasn't interested in justice for my daughter. And now I'm expected to help get justice for him? Ha. I can't imagine what it must've been like... getting that knock at the door. Being told your little girl was gone. Yeah. Thing is, Jemima has parents. They're in Devon, apparently. And a few hours ago, a family liaison officer knocked on their door. It's just starting for them. It's wrong that you didn't get justice for Lara. It's very wrong. But don't stand in the way of that for Jemima's family. 39. When Lara was tiny, she begged and begged me to take her to a ballet... A proper one where you got to dress up and all that. I said we'd do it for her 21st birthday. But it sounded like my worst nightmare. She knew I was putting her off. Then the older she got, it became like this joke between us, like, how many years till I had to deliver? She would've turned 21 this week. That's where you were on Saturday? I was sitting in a box at the Royal Opera House. Keeping your promise. 40. We know that Alexander was killed with the same gun. He started demanding access. He... He wanted to survey the whole building! Meaning your only option was to kill him? I tried everything to put him off. There was no way to get the body out. He was gonna find him on Sunday. So you killed Alexander. But then you still moved Nicco. I'd already started digging him out of the concrete. I couldn't live like that anymore. I found a card to the container place in his wallet. How did you carry him on your own? It wasn't easy. And how did you get rid of the gun? I threw it into the bushes. And yet an entire search team have been unable to find it? 41. But Jemima was watching. She'd got it into her head that I'd poached 撬墙角 some children's party booking from her, so she followed me. She'd been going on about me stealing stuff from her, and she called me to have it out. 42. Jemima didn't tell you? Tell us what? How I met Maxine. How I was sat on the edge of a motorway bridge at 5:00 a.m., and I did not care. She was out walking her dog. A complete stranger. She took me home, gave me some food, didn't make me talk. We just sat painting one of her little houses together. We sat there for hours. And I felt safe. 43. Were you there when she shot Nicco? I'd been away. When I got back, she was on the floor of her workshop. I don't think she'd eaten for two days. I made her some food, gave her some sleeping tablets, then... I did the rest. I got some plastic sheeting, wrapped him up, but it wasn't enough. You buried him in concrete because he was starting to smell. 44. Oh, Fleur, it's just lovely! Looks like you're settled 安定下来 for a while now. I think so. It's not a bad area. Lots of interesting work for a pathologist. Uh, where's John? Went inside for a beer. He's been gone quite a while, actually. No man can resist the siren call.
