'Grantchester' Season 5, Episode 3 Recap: Lies & Fantasies

This week's Grantchester begins with a family christening. It's bittersweet since last week ended with Will and his mother officially estranged. Once again, Vic at the boxing studio steps up with the advice. He suggests a date to the movies; he'll bring his wife Marie (Sandra Huggett), and Will will take Ellie. The boys from the studio come along as well, including Matthew and Lucas. The movie is interrupted, though, when the reel suddenly ends, and then by cigarette girl Betsey Granger (Zoë Tapper) finding the projectionist murdered in the booth.

Geordie: Hear that? The sound of splitting hairs.

Geordie and Larry had already stopped earlier to check out a reported a break-in and met the victim, Wyatt Rogers (Mark Umbers), a blacklisted American ex-pat. He showed them the projection room where someone had set up camp, but the vagrant had disappeared, so Geordie left them to run the next show. The usher, Edwin Hensler (Tom Morley), insists he saw the vagrant, an "Indian man" when he arrived for the evening show. He and Betsey admit neither worked there long or knew Wyatt well.  But it's not a random killing. Among Wyatt's possessions, there's a Distinguished Service Medal for Aasim Hassan, who's rank, "Subedar," is from the Indian army.
