Grace: Hello, Cedric.
Detective Superintendent Grace.
This is Detective
Inspector Branson.
Plain old Graham these days.
Haven't seen one

Where did you find it?
At the home of a m*rder victim.
- Who?
- Clyde Graves.
When was the last
time you saw him?
Last time I saw Clyde?
We only worked together briefly.
What happened?
A good magician pays close
attention to all the details.
Escapology is dangerous.
If your partner doesn't do his
job properly, you could die.
Did Clyde put your
life in danger?
I used to do a version of
Houdini's milk-churn escape.
He didn't fasten
the lid correctly,
and it got stuck for real.
Took him three
minutes to work out
I wasn't getting
out without help.
What, so you held your
breath for three minutes?
Yeah. I thought I was
gonna drown onstage.
So I didn't work with him again.
Clyde was drowned
in a milk churn.
Let's talk through here.
Listen, I haven't
performed in decades.
Why stop? I mean you
was on prime-time TV.
You were famous.
I had one great escape,
which was The Incinerator.
And I was selling out all my
shows up and down the country.
Then the TV people
approached me.
Thanks.
I jumped at the chance but
that was my fatal mistake,
because once everyone
sat down with their tea
that Saturday night
to watch the escape,
they didn't have to buy a
ticket to see it in a theatre.
That TV show, it
ended my career.
Couldn't you invent
another escape?
I'm a showman. I perform.
I can't invent the escapes.
That's another skill entirely.
Where did you get The
Incinerator from then?
I bought it cheap
from another magician.
I didn't have the
money for another.
I couldn't sell The
Incinerator, either,
so it were over.

It's an impersonation.
He's pretending to be me,

No, but we can't arrest him.

Jason Peterson, and, err...

called the police.
He was so bitter, so angry.
He just wanted to destroy him.
