What are you doing here?

You left her at the altar?

No. Someone put a bullet right

between Olga's eyes.

Come off it.

I'm serious, Bobby.

Her last words were:

'My marriage turned out

better than I'd hoped'.

How touching!

Can I do anything for you?

A double beer, Bobby.

What... our usual?

- Yeah, our usual.

That's what it's come to, eh?

- Yep.

Who gave you the make-up

job? -Inspector Butt.

I'm very sorry.

- Forget it.

The whole world's gone crazy.

There's shooting everywhere.

Total idiots. Unbelievable!

- Awful!

Here you go.

That hit the spot, Bobby.

Okay, reconstruct the events.

- Come here.

It was like this, Bobby.

We were coming out of the church.

Like this... you're Olga...

I'm not playing

your dead wife!

Bobby, what's up?

You wanna be Tony?

I can be Tony. I know him.

- Okay, you be Tony.

Tony's taping, as always.

And now, I'm me...

Excuse me, sir, would you be

so kind as to be my wife Olga?

Only for a reconstruction.

Thank you so much.

You're wonderful.

So we're leaving the church.

It's all festive and jolly.

And suddenly I feel

something burning.

I glance at Tony; he's

sort of moving his head

as if it's not him that

set fire to anything.

There's shooting all around.

I think I've been hit. And...

Would you mind lying on

the floor just for a second?

Thank you, you're so kind.

And Bobby, I'm telling you.

I look down and Olga is

lying dead! Completely dead.

My deepest condolences.

- Thank you, sir.

Let me introduce myself,

Askrew, retired bookkeeper.

I don't want to interfere,

especially given the situation.

But I can't help myself.

I was present when

a similar thing happened.

About twenty years ago at

my brother's wedding

we were standing outside

the church for photos.

Video cameras didn't exist

then. The shooting began.

A bullet hit Milena square

between the eyes.

The case was never solved.

But we all knew it was

the best man who killed

her - involuntary manslaughter.

Simply incredible!

You said that your brother's

wife was called Milena? -Yes.

Her maiden name wasn't

Greasihair by any chance?

It was. -That's unbelievable.

That's my aunt.

Good God.

I was at that wedding as well.

I was only ten then.

So we're sort of family.

After that my brother

never married again.

He loved her that much?

- He adored her.

Excuse me for asking,

but what happened to your arm?

Some idiot ran me

over this morning.

Sent me flying into a dumpster.

- Not possible.

But I remembered the

licence plate:
327-849-BG.

Hang on! The BG goes first,

then the number.

I know, but I was in mid-air,

so it was all back to front.

Well, then you didn't see

the number properly.
