81
00:06:47,012 --> 00:06:49,012
We could rebuild the village hall

has agreed to join the panel.

00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:50,032

00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,084

of the public.

00:08:01,008 --> 00:08:02,068

109
00:08:02,076 --> 00:08:05,024
Yes, ah, they ran a competition
and someone -

110
00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:07,016
I've got her name here somewhere -

111
00:08:07,024 --> 00:08:09,092
anyway, the winner will be asked
to join the panel.

112
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,044
She'll probably be the easiest one
to impress.

113
00:08:12,048 --> 00:08:14,096
Find her an extra sausage

114
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,068
and her vote will be in the bag.

115
00:08:22,052 --> 00:08:24,076

That WAS the first prize, Tom.

00:13:43,016 --> 00:13:44,092
It's almost as if they knew.

179
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,032
Did you tell anyone about
your travel plans, Mr Allardice?

180
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:51,004
No. I keep myself to myself.

181
00:13:51,012 --> 00:13:54,068
Oh, I may have mentioned something
to Ray.

182
00:13:54,072 --> 00:13:56,048
Dorset - the butcher.

183
00:13:56,056 --> 00:13:58,044
You can't go in there
without chatting.

184
00:13:58,048 --> 00:14:00,060
And there was no-one in the house?

185
00:14:00,068 --> 00:14:04,016
My wife died some years ago
and I live alone.

186
00:14:04,020 --> 00:14:07,048
But, ah, I may be able to help you.

187
00:14:07,052 --> 00:14:09,008
Sir?

188
00:14:09,016 --> 00:14:12,040
Well, when I was driving home,
I saw a white van.

189
00:14:12,048 --> 00:14:14,052
I was quite near the house
and it was doing a ton,

190
00:14:14,056 --> 00:14:16,012
that's why I noticed it.

191
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:18,016
I don't suppose you got a -
Registration number?

192
00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:19,080
Well, yes, I got most of it.

193
00:14:19,084 --> 00:14:23,064
M-293, then an F,

194
00:14:23,068 --> 00:14:26,008
or it could have been an E,

195
00:14:26,012 --> 00:14:27,064
something W.

196
00:14:27,068 --> 00:14:29,080
It was going too fast.

197
00:14:29,084 --> 00:14:32,016
That may be very helpful, sir.

198
00:14:32,024 --> 00:14:35,024
If ever I get my hands on the little
bastards that did this,

199
00:14:35,028 --> 00:14:36,088
I'll kill them.

200
00:14:36,096 --> 00:14:41,064
It wasn't just what they stole,
it was the damage they did.

201
00:14:41,072 --> 00:14:44,032
That portrait was painted
by Lucien Blake

202
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,020
and the bowl they smashed,
which was given to me by Olivier.

203
00:14:48,024 --> 00:14:50,064
Irreplaceable.

204
00:14:50,068 --> 00:14:52,028
We'll do what we can, sir.

205
00:14:52,032 --> 00:14:54,072
If you don't mind me asking, sir,

206
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,048
how do you know
there were two of them?

207
00:14:56,052 --> 00:14:58,000
I'm sorry?

208
00:14:58,004 --> 00:15:00,084
You said "Little bastards", plural.

209
00:15:00,088 --> 00:15:02,056
There could have been just one.

210
00:15:02,060 --> 00:15:05,052
Well, I assumed.

211
00:15:05,060 --> 00:15:08,092
They always come in pairs,
don't they?

212
00:15:11,052 --> 00:15:13,012
You don't think he was lying,
do you?

213
00:15:13,016 --> 00:15:14,060
About being out of the house?

214
00:15:15,092 --> 00:15:17,076
Those were made last night.

215
00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:19,068
I've checked them,
they don't match his car.

216
00:15:19,072 --> 00:15:22,084
They could belong to the white van.

217
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:24,044
Quite possibly, Troy,

218
00:15:24,052 --> 00:15:28,032
but these tracks are quite clearly
turning that way, aren't they?

219
00:15:28,036 --> 00:15:31,020
Surely the London road's over there?

220
00:15:31,028 --> 00:15:33,084
So if Allardice was coming
from London...

221
00:15:33,088 --> 00:15:35,044
Couldn't have seen the van.

222
00:15:35,048 --> 00:15:37,072
So he is lying?

223
00:15:37,076 --> 00:15:42,060
Or obfuscating, certainly.

224
00:15:45,088 --> 00:15:49,056
You must be the police officers
come to investigate the break-in.

225
00:15:49,060 --> 00:15:51,036
Yes, sir.

226
00:15:51,044 --> 00:15:55,012
You must know a lot about
the village, working here.

227
00:15:55,016 --> 00:15:57,012
I suppose I do.

228
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:59,068
Has there been anyone in here
who's new to the area -

229
00:15:59,076 --> 00:16:03,020
someone, perhaps, showing a special
interest in other people's movements?

230
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:07,092
No. No, the last person to come
to the village was Mr Allardice.

231
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,060
That was quite recent.
Five, six years ago.

232
00:16:10,064 --> 00:16:13,028
No-one more recent than that?

233
00:16:13,036 --> 00:16:17,016
Well, I don't like to point
the finger at anyone.

234
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:18,076
Go on.

235
00:16:18,084 --> 00:16:23,004
You might want to talk
to Peter Drinkwater.

236
00:16:26,016 --> 00:16:28,024
He's Mary Drinkwater's nephew,
great-nephew.

237
00:16:28,032 --> 00:16:30,096
He came back to live in the village
earlier this year.

238
00:16:31,004 --> 00:16:34,016
Lived with her for a while
and then he moved into the old farm.

239
00:16:34,024 --> 00:16:37,012
Windy Whistle farm -
it's deserted now.

240
00:16:37,020 --> 00:16:39,036
Peter Drinkwater.
Young lad.

241
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,044
Bit on the wild side.

242
00:16:45,048 --> 00:16:49,024
Peter Drinkwater.
That name rings a bell.

243
00:16:49,028 --> 00:16:50,092
Do you want to go talk to him?

244
00:16:50,096 --> 00:16:53,000
Unless you have other plans.

245
00:16:53,004 --> 00:16:54,060
Why'd you have to do that?

246
00:16:54,068 --> 00:16:56,052
Why'd you have to talk about Peter
that way?

247
00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:59,020
I could have said more than I did.
He's my friend, Dad.

248
00:16:59,028 --> 00:17:02,008
He's trouble.
And he's leading you into trouble.

249
00:17:02,016 --> 00:17:05,024
I wish he'd never come here.
Sometimes I want to...

250
00:17:05,028 --> 00:17:07,004
What?

251
00:17:07,008 --> 00:17:08,076
Nothing.

252
00:17:16,024 --> 00:17:19,004
What time is it?

253
00:17:19,008 --> 00:17:21,012
(SIGHS) 12:00.

254
00:17:21,016 --> 00:17:23,012
Gordon will be home soon.

255
00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:25,060
It's his afternoon in surgery,
you've got to go.

256
00:17:25,064 --> 00:17:27,068
Alright.

257
00:17:27,072 --> 00:17:30,032
You don't care, do you?

258
00:17:30,036 --> 00:17:31,092
What?

259
00:17:31,096 --> 00:17:34,072
Stay or go, you don't care.

260
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,008
Maybe that's what I like about you,
Peter,

261
00:17:38,012 --> 00:17:40,048
that you're so bloody heartless.

262
00:17:40,056 --> 00:17:42,072
You're like an animal.
Watch it.

263
00:17:42,076 --> 00:17:45,040
I'm complimenting you.

264
00:17:45,048 --> 00:17:49,000
If Gordon ever found out about you
he'd neuter you,

265
00:17:49,004 --> 00:17:50,072
do you know that?

266
00:17:50,076 --> 00:17:52,028
He's good at that.

267
00:17:52,032 --> 00:17:54,044
If you don't like Gordon

268
00:17:54,048 --> 00:17:56,036
why do you talk about him so much?

269
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,040
Good question.

270
00:17:59,044 --> 00:18:01,036
Don't ever change.

271
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,040
I like you just the way you are.

272
00:18:04,048 --> 00:18:06,036
And do you know
what I like about you?

273
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,096
What?

274
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,004
Your generosity.

275
00:18:13,064 --> 00:18:16,008
I hadn't forgotten.

276
00:18:16,012 --> 00:18:19,060
You still seeing that girl?

277
00:18:19,064 --> 00:18:21,080
Devere girl - Caroline?

278
00:18:21,084 --> 00:18:24,016
I wonder what she'd say

279
00:18:24,020 --> 00:18:27,020
if she knew about me.

280
00:18:27,028 --> 00:18:29,092
Get lost, Laura.
Just piss off, alright?

281
00:18:29,096 --> 00:18:32,004
You start threatening me,

282
00:18:32,012 --> 00:18:34,036
you can look for your 50 quid
thrills elsewhere.

283
00:18:34,044 --> 00:18:36,096
Peter.
Maybe you should try Jack.

284
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,092
He'd do it for 30.

285
00:18:38,096 --> 00:18:40,096
And he might even enjoy it.

286
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,056
God! You little bastard.

If you wanted a place to stash
some stolen loot, this'd be it.

00:19:24,020 --> 00:19:26,032
All these outbuildings.
It's got to be him.

291
00:19:26,036 --> 00:19:28,012
Yes.

292
00:19:28,016 --> 00:19:30,000

00:19:39,028 --> 00:19:41,076
Detective Sergeant Troy,
Causton CID.

296
00:19:41,084 --> 00:19:43,088
This is
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.

297
00:19:43,096 --> 00:19:46,088
It's the same smell.
You can always tell.

298
00:19:46,096 --> 00:19:48,060
Would you mind stepping out
of the car?

299
00:19:48,068 --> 00:19:51,064
We'd like to talk about a break-in
at Grayfriar's House last night.

300
00:19:51,072 --> 00:19:54,040
Would you? And what if I don't want
to talk to you?

301
00:19:54,048 --> 00:19:56,044
I could be back here in
a couple of hours

302
00:19:56,052 --> 00:19:58,040
with a warrant
to search this entire place.

303
00:19:58,048 --> 00:20:00,048
Search it. I don't give a damn.

Yes.

306
00:20:07,096 --> 00:20:09,088
Do you want me
to take a look around?

307
00:20:09,096 --> 00:20:12,040
No, Troy. We'll do this one
by the book.

308
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:14,036
Let's get the warrant first.

309
00:20:21,056 --> 00:20:24,016
Hi. What's for lunch?

310
00:20:24,024 --> 00:20:26,060
I've been out walking,
I'm stivvy starving.

311
00:20:26,064 --> 00:20:28,068
What is it?

312
00:20:28,072 --> 00:20:32,028
Peter Drinkwater.

313
00:20:32,032 --> 00:20:34,016
What?

314
00:20:34,020 --> 00:20:36,044
You're seeing him again, aren't you?

315
00:20:36,052 --> 00:20:38,088
No.
Don't lie to me, Caroline.

316
00:20:38,096 --> 00:20:41,060
I found these in your room.
Mummy!

317
00:20:41,068 --> 00:20:45,024
Letters, love letters,
disgusting letters. How could you?

318
00:20:45,032 --> 00:20:47,008
You shouldn't be searching
in my room.

319
00:20:47,012 --> 00:20:48,068
That boy is a snake in the grass.

320
00:20:48,076 --> 00:20:52,004
He is nothing but trouble -
and you will listen to me!

321
00:20:52,012 --> 00:20:56,032
No, I won't. I'm 20 years old now.
I can do what I like.

322
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,024
Look, maybe I should go
and have a talk with him,

323
00:20:59,032 --> 00:21:01,084
just the two of us,
mano-a-mano.

324
00:21:01,088 --> 00:21:03,060
No, Daddy, no.

325
00:21:03,068 --> 00:21:07,068
I love Peter more than anyone
in the whole world.

326
00:21:07,072 --> 00:21:09,072
We're going to live together

327
00:21:09,076 --> 00:21:12,064
and there's nothing you can do.

328
00:21:22,076 --> 00:21:25,096
Oh, afternoon, Caroline.
Is something the matter?

329
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,056
No.

330
00:21:27,064 --> 00:21:30,004
Did you know, I was talking
about you only this morning.

331
00:21:30,012 --> 00:21:31,060
I was rather hoping
I'd bump into you.

332
00:21:31,064 --> 00:21:33,020
Mrs Brierly...

333
00:21:33,028 --> 00:21:37,020
I was talking to Peter Drinkwater,
I know he's a friend of yours,

334
00:21:37,028 --> 00:21:41,000
but perhaps there's something
you ought to know about him

335
00:21:41,004 --> 00:21:42,084
and I'm going to tell you.

Sir?
Shhh.

338
00:22:01,096 --> 00:22:04,044
Thought I knew that name,
Peter Drinkwater.

339
00:22:04,048 --> 00:22:06,012
He's got a record.

340
00:22:06,016 --> 00:22:08,024
Nothing very serious -

341
00:22:08,028 --> 00:22:11,016
two police cautions,

342
00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:13,008
taking and driving away,

343
00:22:13,012 --> 00:22:15,096
shoplifting...

344
00:22:16,004 --> 00:22:21,004
Oh. And a 6-month suspended sentence
for assault.

345
00:22:21,012 --> 00:22:22,080
And you think he's graduated
to burglary?

346
00:22:22,084 --> 00:22:25,020
What have you got?

347
00:22:25,024 --> 00:22:27,024
The registration number of the van.

348
00:22:27,032 --> 00:22:29,080

but I finally got there.

00:22:40,056 --> 00:22:42,076
He has a 21-year-old son,
Jack Dorset.

353
00:22:42,084 --> 00:22:45,012
I think it may have been him
working in the shop.

354
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:48,064
And the shop is the centre of gossip
in any village.

355
00:22:48,072 --> 00:22:51,056
People tell Ray when they're going
to be away for the weekend.

356
00:22:51,060 --> 00:22:53,068
And Jack tells his mate, Peter.

357
00:22:53,076 --> 00:22:57,000
I think so.
Who should we go for first?

358
00:22:57,008 --> 00:22:59,008
Oh, Peter.
He's an obnoxious little sod.

359
00:22:59,016 --> 00:23:02,020
Let's start with him.

There was a computer

Quick, though.

406
00:27:21,036 --> 00:27:24,088
One of the prongs cracked a rib
and went straight into the heart.

407
00:27:24,096 --> 00:27:27,000
Must have taken quite a lot
of strength.

408

Are you saying it was a man?

00:27:28,072 --> 00:27:30,072
Or a very strong woman.

410
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,092

on Guy Fawkes night.

if it shattered the spleen

a bit sooner.

00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,060
Well, yes.

422
00:28:04,068 --> 00:28:07,052
What did you want him for?
Burglary.

423
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:09,064
Well, I suppose
that's rough justice then,

424
00:28:09,072 --> 00:28:13,016
breaking and entering,
that's what someone did to him.

425
00:28:15,032 --> 00:28:17,052

00:28:17,060 --> 00:28:20,036

00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,016
Suppose it must've been stolen.

431
00:28:45,024 --> 00:28:48,076
Do you think this has got anything
to do with the break-in, sir?

432
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,036
Hard to say.

433
00:28:50,044 --> 00:28:53,024
We need to know more about the late
Peter Drinkwater, don't we?

434
00:28:53,032 --> 00:28:54,084
He had an aunt
living in the village.

435
00:28:54,088 --> 00:28:57,012
He also had an accomplice.

436
00:28:58,048 --> 00:29:01,028
We have an eyewitness
who places your father's van

437
00:29:01,036 --> 00:29:03,088
at the scene of at least one
of the houses broken into.

438
00:29:03,096 --> 00:29:07,016
We've also recovered several of the
missing items from Windy Whistle farm

439
00:29:07,024 --> 00:29:10,036
and I must warn you, we're gonna
have those checked for fingerprints.

440
00:29:10,044 --> 00:29:12,060
They were using my van?
Yes.

441
00:29:12,068 --> 00:29:15,040
OK, I'll tell you
what you wanna know, but on my own.

442

If you wouldn't mind, sir.

443
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,020
Jack?
It's alright, Dad.

00:29:31,064 --> 00:29:34,016
(SIGHS) We were at school together,
Pete and me.

445
00:29:36,096 --> 00:29:39,004
The break-ins was his idea.

446
00:29:39,012 --> 00:29:41,080
But you had a good job
with your father.

447
00:29:41,084 --> 00:29:43,080
Why'd you get involved with him?

448
00:29:43,084 --> 00:29:45,048
I hate the bloody job.

How many were there?
What?

452
00:29:52,084 --> 00:29:54,040
Burglaries.

453
00:29:54,048 --> 00:29:58,008
Oh, too many. I told him that
but he wouldn't listen.

454
00:29:58,012 --> 00:29:59,076
What, you argued?

455
00:29:59,084 --> 00:30:04,008
No. No, you couldn't argue with him,
he wouldn't listen.

456
00:30:04,012 --> 00:30:07,016
Would you say he had any enemies?

00:30:07,020 --> 00:30:10,020

(SCOFFS) Be easier to ask
who didn't.

459
00:30:12,076 --> 00:30:14,076
You had no idea what he was up to?

460
00:30:14,084 --> 00:30:17,040
Of course not.
If I'd known, I'd have...

461
00:30:17,044 --> 00:30:18,096
What?

462
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,088
..I'd have stopped him.

463
00:30:21,096 --> 00:30:26,004
I'm sorry, sir, but I'm afraid
I'm going to have to charge your son

464
00:30:26,012 --> 00:30:28,084
with various offences
connected with the break-ins.

465
00:30:28,092 --> 00:30:31,040
Wasn't his fault.
He didn't know what he was doing.

466
00:30:31,048 --> 00:30:33,092
It was that other one.
Peter Drinkwater?

467
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,072
You think Peter Drinkwater
led your son astray?

468
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,068
That why you went to see him
this afternoon?

469
00:30:38,072 --> 00:30:40,088

470
00:30:40,096 --> 00:30:42,052
We saw you
just before three o'clock.

I wasn't up at the farm.
No, I was making my deliveries.

the entrance to the farm?

00:30:53,048 --> 00:30:56,016
Yeah, but I didn't stop.
You didn't see anything?

477
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,092
There was a car
coming out of the yard.

had tinted windows.

No, I think we found the burglar.

Have you made an arrest yet?
No.

Yes, well, I'm afraid
he didn't have very much to say.

525
00:33:46,084 --> 00:33:48,088
Morning, sir.

526
00:33:48,092 --> 00:33:50,052
Morning, Troy.

527
00:33:50,060 --> 00:33:54,088
That looks like the red Renault
Ray Dorset was telling us about.

528
00:33:54,096 --> 00:33:57,056
Oh, Lothlorian.
That's Lord of the Rings, that.

529
00:33:57,064 --> 00:33:59,044
Huh?
JR Tolkien.

530
00:33:59,052 --> 00:34:01,056
Oh, I never read it.
I started The Hobbit once.

531
00:34:01,064 --> 00:34:05,016
And?
Well, it's all dwarves and fairies.

532
00:34:05,024 --> 00:34:07,060
I like books that are a bit
more...you know.

533
00:34:07,064 --> 00:34:09,020
I can imagine.

534
00:34:09,028 --> 00:34:12,060
Peter Drinkwater.
Of course I knew him.

535
00:34:12,068 --> 00:34:15,076
Everyone in the village knew him.
They probably wish they didn't.

536
00:34:15,084 --> 00:34:19,020
I can't imagine why you would wish
to talk to us about him.

537
00:34:19,024 --> 00:34:21,052
Well, I'd be very interested to know,

538
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:25,088
when was the last time
you saw Peter Drinkwater, Mrs Devere?

539
00:34:25,092 --> 00:34:27,084
The last time?

540
00:34:27,088 --> 00:34:31,048
Oh, I couldn't tell you. A week ago?

541
00:34:31,056 --> 00:34:34,044
I saw him lounging outside
the cricket billet.

542
00:34:34,048 --> 00:34:36,064
It had to have been last Thursday.

543
00:34:36,068 --> 00:34:38,028
I didn't speak to him, though.

544
00:34:38,036 --> 00:34:41,008
So neither of you have seen him
in the last 24 hours?

545
00:34:42,076 --> 00:34:44,068
No.

546
00:34:44,076 --> 00:34:47,036
Then how would you explain the fact
that your car was seen

547
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,052
leaving Windy Whistle farm

548
00:34:49,060 --> 00:34:51,036
just before three o'clock
yesterday afternoon?

549
00:34:51,044 --> 00:34:54,048
Exactly the same time
Drinkwater was killed.

550
00:34:54,052 --> 00:34:56,008
What?

551
00:34:56,016 --> 00:34:59,024
Don't suppose anyone else drives
your car - oh, your daughter?

552
00:35:00,052 --> 00:35:02,036
She doesn't drive.

553
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,000
Then it must've been one of you.

554
00:35:06,072 --> 00:35:08,032
Yes, it was.

555
00:35:08,036 --> 00:35:09,092
Actually, it was me.

556
00:35:09,096 --> 00:35:12,008
Marcus?

557
00:35:12,012 --> 00:35:15,012
Who was it who actually saw me?

558
00:35:15,016 --> 00:35:17,024
Just out of interest.

559
00:35:17,028 --> 00:35:20,044
Ray Dorset, the butcher.

560
00:35:20,052 --> 00:35:22,076
He was on his way to Causton.
Ah.

561
00:35:22,084 --> 00:35:25,080
Landed me in it, hasn't he?
(CHUCKLES FAINTLY)

562
00:35:25,084 --> 00:35:27,044
It's not like Ray.

563
00:35:27,048 --> 00:35:29,092
So, you did see Peter Drinkwater?

564
00:35:29,096 --> 00:35:32,072
No. No, I didn't.

565
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,088
I did go to see him
but he wasn't there,

566
00:35:35,092 --> 00:35:38,040
at least, I tooted, you know?

567
00:35:38,044 --> 00:35:40,052
There was no answer so I drove away.

568
00:35:40,056 --> 00:35:42,072
May I ask, why did you go to see him?

569
00:35:42,076 --> 00:35:44,096
Well, it's a bit personal, really.

570
00:35:46,092 --> 00:35:51,000
The fact is,
he's been carrying on with Caroline.

571
00:35:51,004 --> 00:35:53,032
Our daughter.

572
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,040
I wanted to know
what his intentions were.

573
00:35:55,048 --> 00:35:58,072
So I thought we would have a chat,
mano-a-mano.

574
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,036
Those were my exact words,
weren't they?

575
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,068
Do you remember
what time you left home?

576
00:36:04,072 --> 00:36:08,048
It'd be about half two.

577
00:36:08,052 --> 00:36:10,020
You'd just gone up for your nap.

578
00:36:10,028 --> 00:36:13,068
She always dozes off in the
afternoon and that's when I went.

579
00:36:13,072 --> 00:36:16,068
It was half past two, yes.

580
00:36:16,076 --> 00:36:19,008
But you didn't see anyone
at the farm?

581
00:36:20,016 --> 00:36:23,096
Only Ray. Yes, he drove past.

582
00:36:24,004 --> 00:36:25,084
You're certain it was Ray
driving the van?

583
00:36:25,092 --> 00:36:29,072
Yes, he had the window down.
He was smoking a cigarette.

584
00:36:29,076 --> 00:36:31,084
(CHUCKLES) Ray smokes all the time.

585
00:36:31,088 --> 00:36:33,088
You can't really think

586
00:36:33,096 --> 00:36:36,080
my husband had anything to do
with what happened, Mr Barnaby.

587
00:36:36,088 --> 00:36:39,088
He was with the National Westminster
for 37 years.

588
00:36:39,092 --> 00:36:41,052
Yes, I worked in the city.

589
00:36:41,060 --> 00:36:45,076
This your daughter, Caroline?
Yes.

590
00:36:45,084 --> 00:36:50,000
That was taken on her 18th birthday.
Oh, it's very nice.

591
00:36:50,008 --> 00:36:52,068
I wonder, would it be possible
to have a word with her?

592
00:36:52,072 --> 00:36:55,000
Do you know where she is now?

593
00:36:55,008 --> 00:36:57,096
Well, she has a summer job
at the Causton nursery.

594
00:36:58,004 --> 00:37:01,060
Children?
Hmm? Oh, flowers.

595
00:37:01,064 --> 00:37:03,032
(CHUCKLES)

596
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:08,004
You're not looking very happy today,
are you? No.

597
00:37:08,012 --> 00:37:12,000
Never going to go to a nice home
if you don't cheer up a bit.

598
00:37:12,008 --> 00:37:16,060
I always talk to the plants.
You know, like Prince Charles.

599
00:37:16,064 --> 00:37:18,068
It helps them grow.

600
00:37:18,076 --> 00:37:21,004
When did you last see
Peter Drinkwater?

601
00:37:21,012 --> 00:37:23,032
Peter?
Mmm.

602
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,008
I don't know. Suppose
it was the day before yesterday.

603
00:37:27,016 --> 00:37:30,008
Were the two of you, um,
in a relationship?

604
00:37:30,016 --> 00:37:34,028
I suppose Jack told you.
Peter told Jack everything.

605
00:37:34,036 --> 00:37:38,072
Well, we were in a relationship,
but it was over.

606
00:37:38,076 --> 00:37:40,024
I ended it.

607
00:37:40,028 --> 00:37:42,044
Why did you do that?

608
00:37:42,052 --> 00:37:45,044
Because of Laura Brierly.
Brierly?

609
00:37:45,052 --> 00:37:50,004
Yes. Laura told me lots of things
about Peter.

610
00:37:50,008 --> 00:37:52,072
Private things.

611
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,032
But I knew she was telling the truth
and I didn't want to see him again.

612
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,064
Were you angry with him?
I could have killed him.

613
00:38:00,096 --> 00:38:04,016
But I didn't have to
because somebody did it for me.

614
00:38:13,004 --> 00:38:14,084
Looks like the Brierlys are out,
sir.

615
00:38:14,092 --> 00:38:16,052
Oh, we'll catch up with them
later on.

616
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:19,024
In the meantime, Troy,
has it occured to you

617
00:38:19,032 --> 00:38:22,020
that someone actually threatened
to kill Peter Drinkwater

618
00:38:22,024 --> 00:38:24,004
while we were actually there?

619
00:38:24,012 --> 00:38:26,076
"If I ever get my hands
on the little bastards who did this,

620
00:38:26,084 --> 00:38:28,076
"I'll kill 'em."
Edward Allardice?

621
00:38:28,084 --> 00:38:30,068
Yeah. Let's take his property back
to him.

622
00:38:30,076 --> 00:38:33,032
I want to know why
he lied about that white van.

623
00:38:33,036 --> 00:38:36,052
Or obfuscated, you mean.

624
00:38:38,068 --> 00:38:42,020
What I say is, I think
we ought to put it to the vote.

625
00:38:42,028 --> 00:38:45,036
The judges will be arriving
the day after tomorrow.

626
00:38:45,044 --> 00:38:48,068
Question is,
do we call the whole thing off?

627
00:38:48,072 --> 00:38:51,008
No, it's too late to cancel.

628
00:38:51,016 --> 00:38:53,096
It's not just us,
it's the whole village.

629
00:38:54,004 --> 00:38:58,008
You don't think the fact we've
just had a brutal murder committed

630
00:38:58,016 --> 00:39:01,080
won't damage our chances
just a tiny bit?

631
00:39:01,088 --> 00:39:05,012
Oh, they don't need to know - the
judges. Nobody needs to tell them.

632
00:39:05,016 --> 00:39:08,044
That's right.

633
00:39:13,072 --> 00:39:15,040
What do you think, Miss Drinkwater?

634
00:39:15,048 --> 00:39:19,096
Well, I suppose
I'm thinking of the children.

635
00:39:21,068 --> 00:39:23,092
The village orchestra.

636
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,032
We've been rehearsing for months
and...

637
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,048
..well, I know it was Peter
who was killed,

638
00:39:30,052 --> 00:39:33,084
my own flesh and blood.

639
00:39:33,088 --> 00:39:36,068
I had to go and identify the body.

640
00:39:36,072 --> 00:39:39,008
(CHOKES)

641
00:39:39,016 --> 00:39:41,048
Steady on, old thing.
Shall I get you a drink?

642
00:39:41,052 --> 00:39:43,004
No, I'm alright.

643
00:39:45,060 --> 00:39:48,028
Peter never did anything
for the village

644
00:39:48,032 --> 00:39:51,024
and it seems to me that...

645
00:39:51,032 --> 00:39:54,072
..if we let his death
spoil Saturday,

646
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:59,068
well, he's still spoiling things,
even though he's gone.

647
00:40:00,068 --> 00:40:05,040
So, I'm afraid I agree with Ray.

648
00:40:05,048 --> 00:40:08,040
Well, are we ready to put it
to the vote?

649
00:40:08,044 --> 00:40:10,088
Let's take the ayes first.

650
00:40:10,092 --> 00:40:14,028
I say, this is a perfect village.

651
00:40:14,032 --> 00:40:16,008
We have no reason to be ashamed.

652
00:40:16,012 --> 00:40:18,004
I'm with that.

653
00:40:18,008 --> 00:40:19,080
And me.

654
00:40:19,084 --> 00:40:22,004
Yes, I say we go on.

655
00:40:22,008 --> 00:40:24,004
Well, I say you're all crazy.

656
00:40:24,012 --> 00:40:29,000
You can't have music and chicken
wings three days after a murder.

657
00:40:29,004 --> 00:40:32,004
That's a no, then.

658
00:40:32,008 --> 00:40:34,076
It doesn't make any difference.

659
00:40:34,084 --> 00:40:37,008
Ray, Bella, Mary and me -
that's a majority.

660
00:40:37,016 --> 00:40:40,020
And I'm afraid I'm with the others,
Laura.

661
00:40:40,024 --> 00:40:42,004
So, the ayes have it.

662
00:40:42,008 --> 00:40:45,056
Judgement Day goes ahead.

663
00:40:58,012 --> 00:41:00,072
I very much appreciate this,
Mr Barnaby.

664
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,092
Well, just look upon it
as part of the service, sir.

665
00:41:02,096 --> 00:41:04,052
What about the rest of it?

666
00:41:04,060 --> 00:41:06,088
It's at the station.
You'll have to come and sign for it.

667
00:41:08,008 --> 00:41:10,092
Well, I suppose it's all ended
fairly satisfactorily.

668
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,056
Yes, though not for Peter Drinkwater,
would you say?

669
00:41:13,064 --> 00:41:16,032
The man who broke in?
Yes, I'm sorry.

670
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,080
You did say you wanted to kill him,
though.

671
00:41:19,084 --> 00:41:21,072
Oh, that was just words.

672
00:41:21,076 --> 00:41:24,016
Anyway, I didn't know who he was.

673
00:41:24,020 --> 00:41:26,000
I was wondering,

674
00:41:26,004 --> 00:41:28,076
you say you saw the white van,

675
00:41:28,084 --> 00:41:31,092
you got part of the number but you
didn't recognise the van itself.

676
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,088
though you must have seen it
often enough around the shop.

677
00:41:35,096 --> 00:41:39,056
What exactly are you suggesting,
Detective Chief Inspector?

678
00:41:41,012 --> 00:41:43,036
Are you sure you weren't at home
that night?

679
00:41:43,044 --> 00:41:45,056
You could have been here.
You could have seen them.

680
00:41:46,064 --> 00:41:48,060
I told you, I was in London.

681
00:41:48,064 --> 00:41:50,068
There was no one else in the house?

682
00:41:50,072 --> 00:41:52,036
I live alone.

683
00:41:52,044 --> 00:41:55,020
My wife, Jane,
died in a car accident.

684
00:41:55,024 --> 00:41:58,000
I was almost killed myself.

685
00:41:58,004 --> 00:42:00,028
And I resent your questions.

686
00:42:00,036 --> 00:42:02,064
In fact, if you don't mind,
I think I'd like you to leave.

687
00:42:03,072 --> 00:42:05,016
Now.

688
00:42:17,052 --> 00:42:19,056
DOOR CREAKS

689
00:42:28,036 --> 00:42:29,092
It's alright.

690
00:42:29,096 --> 00:42:31,044
They're gone.

691
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:33,076
But we'll have to be careful.

692
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,004
They might be coming back.

693
00:42:52,052 --> 00:42:54,048
JOYCE: Tom!

694
00:42:58,004 --> 00:43:00,028
I really ought to get going.
Oh, yes.

695
00:43:00,036 --> 00:43:03,004
Have you seen the paper?
Ah, it hasn't arrived yet. Come on.

696
00:43:04,012 --> 00:43:06,052
Mum, we're going to be late.

697
00:43:06,060 --> 00:43:09,004
Are you sure about this, Cally?
I could have taken a cab.

698
00:43:09,008 --> 00:43:11,004
Goodbye, Joyce.

699
00:43:11,008 --> 00:43:13,036
I'm quite nervous.

700
00:43:13,044 --> 00:43:15,012
What do you think the other judges
will be like?

701
00:43:18,052 --> 00:43:23,028
Ed, this is Rosemary.
I'm phoning from the car.

702
00:43:23,036 --> 00:43:27,004
Look, we're going to have to do
something about the September cover.

703
00:43:28,028 --> 00:43:30,076
Darling, I said, "Autumnal",

704
00:43:30,084 --> 00:43:33,016
that doesn't have to mean
bloody funeral.

705
00:43:36,004 --> 00:43:38,088
No, I can't.
I'm out of London all week.

706
00:43:38,092 --> 00:43:40,044
This sodding competition.

707
00:43:40,048 --> 00:43:42,008
We're on the N-40 now.

708
00:43:43,016 --> 00:43:45,092
The repeat blooming shrub rose.

709
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,036
For me, its the crowning glory
of any garden.

710
00:43:49,044 --> 00:43:52,088
And what better choice
than our old friend,

711
00:43:52,092 --> 00:43:55,088
the English cottage rose.

712
00:43:55,096 --> 00:44:00,020
Tough little fellow,
with that lovely, ripe fragrance.

713
00:44:02,012 --> 00:44:03,056
DIRECTOR: And cut.

714
00:44:05,012 --> 00:44:08,040
That's it Jeremy, darling.
I'm out of here.

715
00:44:08,044 --> 00:44:10,048
I've got a taxi waiting.

716
00:44:10,052 --> 00:44:12,060
I'll see you all in a week's time.

717
00:44:12,064 --> 00:44:14,024
Toodle-oo!

718
00:44:14,028 --> 00:44:16,000
TRAIN HORN BLOWS

719
00:44:45,068 --> 00:44:47,028
Thanks.

720
00:44:48,048 --> 00:44:50,016
Are you going in?

721
00:44:50,020 --> 00:44:52,000
Yes.

722
00:44:52,008 --> 00:44:54,036
Do I look alright?
You look fine.

723
00:44:54,044 --> 00:44:56,016
(SIGHS)
Do you want me to come with you?

724
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:59,048
No. Thank you for the lift.

725
00:45:00,084 --> 00:45:03,044
Oh, God.

726
00:45:03,048 --> 00:45:06,016
Country hotels.

727
00:45:07,036 --> 00:45:09,068
Tea is made in the bedroom

728
00:45:09,076 --> 00:45:12,072
and teenage waiters with acne
at reception.

729
00:45:13,096 --> 00:45:17,044
I'm so glad you could make it,
Samantha.

730
00:45:17,052 --> 00:45:19,040
I thought you might have been
back in that -

731
00:45:19,048 --> 00:45:23,020
what's that psychiatric place
you go to? The retreat?

732
00:45:23,024 --> 00:45:24,080
No.

733
00:45:24,084 --> 00:45:27,024
Depression's a terrible thing.

734
00:45:27,028 --> 00:45:29,076
have you thought about Prozac?

735
00:45:32,032 --> 00:45:34,000
Oh.

736
00:45:34,004 --> 00:45:35,056
Hello, Rosemary.

737
00:45:37,088 --> 00:45:40,028
Ah, Samantha, darling.

738
00:45:40,032 --> 00:45:41,092
How are you?

739
00:45:43,052 --> 00:45:45,056
I heard that you'd stepped in
at the last minute.

740
00:45:45,060 --> 00:45:47,052
I love the new book, by the way.

741
00:45:47,060 --> 00:45:49,080
I'm your biggest fan.
Thank you.

742
00:45:49,088 --> 00:45:53,056
Hello, Frank.
I've haven't seen you since...

743
00:45:53,060 --> 00:45:57,028
Since you fired me, Rosemary.

744
00:45:57,032 --> 00:45:59,024
Oh, yes.

745
00:45:59,032 --> 00:46:01,084
Well, you've got that television
program now.

746
00:46:01,092 --> 00:46:04,032
Mm. And doing very nicely,
thank you very much.

747
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,080
Yes, I suppose it allows you
to pursue your interest in pansies.

748
00:46:08,084 --> 00:46:10,044
Mm.

749
00:46:10,048 --> 00:46:12,012
Hello.

750
00:46:12,020 --> 00:46:15,060
Joyce Barnaby?
Yes.

751
00:46:15,068 --> 00:46:19,012
Hello, my name's Rosemary Furman.
I'm editor of Country Matters.

752
00:46:19,016 --> 00:46:20,096
Ah, this is Frank Mannion.

753
00:46:21,004 --> 00:46:23,068
How lovely to meet you,
I often watch your program.

754
00:46:23,072 --> 00:46:27,084
Ah, now these are green fingers.

755
00:46:27,092 --> 00:46:30,040
I'm sure that you're
a wonderful gardener.

756
00:46:30,044 --> 00:46:31,092
I can always tell.

757
00:46:31,096 --> 00:46:33,088
Oh, well, I...

758
00:46:33,092 --> 00:46:36,056
And this is Samantha Johnstone.

759
00:46:36,064 --> 00:46:38,052
Nice to meet you.
How do you do?

760
00:46:38,060 --> 00:46:40,076
Oh...
PHONE RINGS

761
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,028
Oh, sorry. Phone.

762
00:46:44,072 --> 00:46:47,032
And do you read Country Matters?

763
00:46:47,036 --> 00:46:48,088
Yes.

764
00:46:48,092 --> 00:46:50,048
And do you live in the country?

765
00:46:50,056 --> 00:46:52,064
Yes, well, sort of.
I live in Causton.

766
00:46:52,068 --> 00:46:54,032
Causton, I don't think I know it.

767
00:46:54,036 --> 00:46:55,084
It's in Midsomer.

768
00:46:55,088 --> 00:46:57,040
Ah, yes, Midsomer Manor.

769
00:46:57,044 --> 00:46:58,092
That's not far from us.

770
00:46:58,096 --> 00:47:00,048
Coffee?

771
00:47:00,052 --> 00:47:02,028
No thank you, not for me.

772
00:47:02,036 --> 00:47:04,092
Right, well,
I think we should get going.

773
00:47:04,096 --> 00:47:07,060
Little Kirkbridge this afternoon

774
00:47:07,064 --> 00:47:10,012
and Midsomer Manor tomorrow.

775
00:47:10,020 --> 00:47:13,088
Does anyone actually know
where a Midsomer Manor is?

776
00:47:13,096 --> 00:47:16,028
I see you're as well informed
as ever, Rosemary.

777
00:47:16,032 --> 00:47:18,016
Joyce, here, lives quite near it.

778
00:47:18,020 --> 00:47:19,076
Yes?

779
00:47:19,084 --> 00:47:22,016
It's a nice place, I've passed
through it once or twice.

780
00:47:22,020 --> 00:47:23,076
Ah.

781
00:47:23,084 --> 00:47:26,020
I've had notes done
on all the finalists

782
00:47:26,028 --> 00:47:28,076
we should take a look at those
before go.

783
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,020
This coffee's cold.

784
00:47:31,028 --> 00:47:34,000
Frank, why don't you see if you can
get your hands on a waiter?

785
00:47:34,004 --> 00:47:35,052
Fine.

786
00:47:35,056 --> 00:47:37,064
But not literally, right?

787
00:47:38,084 --> 00:47:41,052
Right.

788
00:48:02,016 --> 00:48:04,004
Ah, Troy.

789
00:48:04,008 --> 00:48:05,060
Take a look at this.

790
00:48:05,064 --> 00:48:07,076
This might interest you.

791
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,032
What is it?

792
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,040
Edward Allardice,
I've been checking up on him.

793
00:48:11,048 --> 00:48:16,016
He was telling the truth about that
car crash, it was six years ago.

794
00:48:16,024 --> 00:48:20,008
He was driving and according
to that report, he was drunk.

795
00:48:20,012 --> 00:48:21,068
So he killed his wife?

796
00:48:21,076 --> 00:48:24,056
That's just the thing,
there's no death certificate.

797
00:48:24,064 --> 00:48:29,036
Her name was Jane Rochelle, she was
in the same business, an actress,

798
00:48:29,044 --> 00:48:32,016
and as far as I can see,
she survived.

799
00:48:32,024 --> 00:48:34,004
So, where is she now?
Good question.

800
00:48:34,008 --> 00:48:35,064
And why lie about it?

801
00:48:35,072 --> 00:48:39,028
Dunno, there's nothing in this case
that's straightforward.

802
00:48:39,036 --> 00:48:42,036
Allardice threatened to kill
Drinkwater,

803
00:48:42,044 --> 00:48:44,076
but it was Marcus Devere
that was there on the day.

804
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,092
And Ray Dorset driving past.

805
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,044
You checked up on him?
Yeah, he was in Corson at three.

806
00:48:51,032 --> 00:48:53,000
Still something wrong.

807
00:48:53,008 --> 00:48:55,092
It's the van...passing the farm.
I don't know.

808
00:48:55,096 --> 00:48:59,020
And then, there's this.

809
00:48:59,024 --> 00:49:00,096
Gordon Brierly's credit card.

810
00:49:01,004 --> 00:49:03,004
You know, we still haven't spoken
to him.

811
00:49:03,008 --> 00:49:04,072
It's time we did.

812
00:49:04,076 --> 00:49:08,000
BIRDS COO

813
00:49:11,048 --> 00:49:13,028
Gordon shouldn't be long.

814
00:49:13,032 --> 00:49:16,084
He's over at a poplar farm.

815
00:49:16,092 --> 00:49:22,032
They've had an outbreak of
leptospirosis in their dairy cattle.

816
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,076
Milk?
No, I'll have mine black, thanks.

817
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,036
Oh.

818
00:49:26,044 --> 00:49:29,076
Mrs Brierly, I'm afraid
I've got to ask you some questions

819
00:49:29,084 --> 00:49:31,096
about your relationship
with Peter Drinkwater.

820
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,020
Oh.

821
00:49:35,028 --> 00:49:40,056
I understand
that you and he were, um -

822
00:49:40,060 --> 00:49:42,060
Involved.

823
00:49:43,068 --> 00:49:45,012
(EXHALES NERVOUSLY)

824
00:49:48,008 --> 00:49:52,084
Well, I suppose we might as well
be adult about this.

825
00:49:54,096 --> 00:49:59,064
It was a question
of supply and demand.

826
00:49:59,068 --> 00:50:02,012
And the truth is,

827
00:50:02,020 --> 00:50:07,076
Gordon's always been a bit short
in the supply department,

828
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,036
if you know what I mean.

829
00:50:09,044 --> 00:50:10,076
Milk?
Ah, please.

830
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,044
Did he come to the house?

831
00:50:14,052 --> 00:50:17,052
Occasionally.
So, it's quite possible

832
00:50:17,060 --> 00:50:21,008
he could have taken something
of your husband's from here.

833
00:50:21,016 --> 00:50:23,008
Something of Gordon's?
Such as what?

834
00:50:29,008 --> 00:50:31,060
Laura?
Gordon?

835
00:50:33,084 --> 00:50:37,096
These are policemen. They seem
to have found something of yours.

836
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,096
A credit card, sir.

837
00:50:42,004 --> 00:50:44,036
Oh, that's mine, alright.
Of course.

838
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,048
Where did you find it?

839
00:50:46,056 --> 00:50:49,044
At Windy Whistle Farm. Peter
Drinkwater was squatting there.

840
00:50:49,048 --> 00:50:51,020
What, and he'd taken my credit card?

841
00:50:51,028 --> 00:50:54,060
Unless you were up there yourself,
sir, and somehow managed to drop it.

842
00:50:56,052 --> 00:50:59,032
I haven't been
up to Windy Whistle Farm.

843
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:03,040
Be interested to know where you were
around 3 o'clock, sir, on Wednesday?

844
00:51:03,044 --> 00:51:05,080
Wednesday?

845
00:51:05,088 --> 00:51:09,016
I was operating on Wednesday.
A cat had to be spayed.

846
00:51:09,020 --> 00:51:10,072
You didn't go out?

847
00:51:10,076 --> 00:51:13,076
No. Laura was here. She helped me.

848
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,064
We stayed in together.

851
00:51:33,068 --> 00:51:37,076
You went out on Wednesday,
after you'd done the cat.

852
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,040
Did I?

853
00:51:39,044 --> 00:51:42,044
Where did you go?

854
00:51:42,052 --> 00:51:46,084
No, I didn't, Laura.
I was here all the time.

855
00:51:46,088 --> 00:51:51,092

00:52:52,012 --> 00:52:55,072
We got long sword dancing, clog,
and molly dancing,

870
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,036
a Norfolk border dance
with sticks,

871
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,048
and finally they all put antlers

872
00:53:00,056 --> 00:53:03,016
for something called
an Abbots Bromley Horn Dance.

873
00:53:03,020 --> 00:53:04,080
How many points did you give them?

874
00:53:04,088 --> 00:53:06,072
Well, I thought
they were rather fun.

875
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,092
But I don't think the others
were very impressed.

876
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,020
What, the other judges?
How are they?

877
00:53:11,024 --> 00:53:13,008
Rosemary has hay fever.

878
00:53:13,016 --> 00:53:16,040
Samantha, the writer,
well, she's completely depressed.

879
00:53:16,044 --> 00:53:18,068
Frank Mannion's alright,

880
00:53:18,076 --> 00:53:21,088
although I'm afraid after dinner he
disappeared with one of the waiters.

881
00:53:21,092 --> 00:53:23,048
Come home.

882
00:53:23,056 --> 00:53:25,056
I'll see you tomorrow.
Midsomer Mallow.

883
00:53:25,060 --> 00:53:27,000
Bye.

884
00:53:33,032 --> 00:53:35,024
Oh! Would you like to join me?

885
00:53:35,028 --> 00:53:36,096
Yes, alright.

886
00:53:39,060 --> 00:53:41,080
(SLURS SLIGHTLY)
I'm so pleased to meet you.

887
00:53:41,088 --> 00:53:43,080
I don't know what's happened
to the others.

888
00:53:43,088 --> 00:53:47,096
(CALLS) Barman.
Two large whiskeys, please.

889
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,048
What are you gonna have?

890
00:53:54,016 --> 00:53:56,044
Why didn't you tell her?
What?

891
00:53:56,048 --> 00:53:58,060
Mum, about the murder.

892
00:53:58,064 --> 00:54:03,016
Ah. Well, don't really know.

893
00:54:03,024 --> 00:54:07,000
It, er...didn't seem to be fair,
somehow.

894
00:54:07,004 --> 00:54:08,056
To her or the village?

895
00:54:08,060 --> 00:54:10,040
To both.

896
00:54:10,048 --> 00:54:13,000
I don't see how
you can be a perfect village

897
00:54:13,008 --> 00:54:16,008
when you've got a homicidal maniac
running around with a pitchfork.

898
00:54:16,016 --> 00:54:20,052
Oh, maybe that's my point. I didn't
want to influence her judgement.

899
00:54:22,064 --> 00:54:25,048
Anyway, I'm not entirely sure...

900
00:54:25,052 --> 00:54:28,096
..that it was a homicidal maniac.

901
00:54:29,004 --> 00:54:32,032
So who wanted to kill him?
Quite a few people actually.

902
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,084
He was having an affair
with the vet's wife

903
00:54:34,092 --> 00:54:38,012
and he was carrying on
with someone else's daughter.

904
00:54:38,020 --> 00:54:40,068
At the same time?
Mmmm.

905
00:54:40,076 --> 00:54:44,012
And then there were the burglaries.
He was breaking into people's houses.

906
00:54:44,020 --> 00:54:47,036
Yes, but you don't murder someone
just 'cause they burgle you, do you?

907
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,024
Ah, well, as a matter of fact,

908
00:54:49,032 --> 00:54:52,012
one of the victims threatened
to do exactly that.

909
00:54:52,020 --> 00:54:55,004
Edward Allardice.
He said as much to me,

910
00:54:55,012 --> 00:54:58,004
"If I ever get my hands
on the little bastards that did this,

911
00:54:58,008 --> 00:54:59,072
"I'll kill 'em".

912
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,068
Edward Allardice? The actor?
Yeah, do you know him?

913
00:55:02,076 --> 00:55:05,056
Dad, Edward Allardice did
four seasons at the Playhouse.

914
00:55:06,092 --> 00:55:08,068
You know he was married
to Jane Rochelle?

915
00:55:08,072 --> 00:55:10,076
Back in the '60s,

916
00:55:10,084 --> 00:55:13,072
she was said to be one of the
most beautiful women in the world.

917
00:55:13,076 --> 00:55:16,036
She made a lot of films in America

918
00:55:16,044 --> 00:55:18,044
but then she died in a car accident,
I think.

919
00:55:18,052 --> 00:55:20,064
Is he really living
in Midsomer Mallow?

920
00:55:20,072 --> 00:55:23,052
Yep.
Do you think I could meet him?

921
00:55:23,060 --> 00:55:26,012
Oh, he could tell me everything
I need to know.

922
00:55:26,020 --> 00:55:28,088
Yeah, well, I suppose it would be
alright, but...

923
00:55:28,096 --> 00:55:33,016
..he's still, theoretically,
a suspect in my murder investigation.

924
00:55:33,024 --> 00:55:35,044
Come on, Dad. He wouldn't murder
a local delinquent.

925
00:55:35,048 --> 00:55:37,044
He's a famous actor.

926
00:55:37,048 --> 00:55:39,064
Well, maybe not. But someone did.

927
00:55:55,076 --> 00:55:58,036
(CALLS) Laura!

928
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,032
Aren't you ready yet?

929
00:56:00,036 --> 00:56:01,088
It's five to seven.

930
00:56:04,028 --> 00:56:08,016
Gordon. What are these doing here?

931
00:56:08,020 --> 00:56:09,080
They need to go in the wash.

932
00:56:09,084 --> 00:56:11,032
But this is blood.

933
00:56:11,036 --> 00:56:13,036
Yes.

934
00:56:13,044 --> 00:56:15,096
Well, why did you put them
in the cupboard like that?

935
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,072
And how did the blood get there?

936
00:56:19,072 --> 00:56:21,024
Is it animal blood?

937
00:56:23,020 --> 00:56:27,072
Oh, yes. It's animal, alright.
Nasty little creature.

938
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:32,004
It's alright now,
I put it out of its misery.

939
00:56:32,012 --> 00:56:34,012
Now let's go.
I don't want to be late.

942
00:57:42,064 --> 00:57:44,060
Alright there?
Good strong hold.

943
00:57:44,068 --> 00:57:46,024
Is it straight?
Straight.

944
00:57:46,032 --> 00:57:47,096
That's fine.
Yep.

00:58:09,060 --> 00:58:12,004
Yes?
Mr Allardice?

948
00:58:12,012 --> 00:58:14,016
I'm writing a book
about the Causton Playhouse.

949
00:58:14,024 --> 00:58:16,016
I just found out
that you live here and -

950
00:58:16,024 --> 00:58:18,000
No, no, I'm sorry.
I'm not interested.

951
00:58:18,004 --> 00:58:21,012
You met my father. Tom Barnaby?

952
00:58:21,020 --> 00:58:23,084
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby?
He was here.

953
00:58:23,092 --> 00:58:27,080
Yes, he came about the burglary.
Yes.

954
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,048
Very well.

955
00:58:33,056 --> 00:58:37,040
The police brought back the rest
of my property this morning.

956
00:58:37,044 --> 00:58:39,060
I'm very grateful to your father.

957
00:58:39,068 --> 00:58:41,084
There was nothing
of any great financial value,

958
00:58:41,088 --> 00:58:44,032
but some of it was sentimental.

959
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,012
You heard what happened?
To the man that broke in?

960
00:58:47,020 --> 00:58:50,060
Yes. He must have had
a lot of enemies, someone like that.

961
00:58:50,064 --> 00:58:53,040
It seems he had one too many.

962
00:59:00,056 --> 00:59:02,044
This is Hamlet.

963
00:59:02,052 --> 00:59:05,076
The 1955 production.
Yes.

964
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,068
Olivier directed it.

965
00:59:07,072 --> 00:59:10,016
I was Laertes to his Hamlet.

966
00:59:10,024 --> 00:59:12,064
He set it...
In a doll's house.

967
00:59:12,072 --> 00:59:15,012
With just seven actors.
Yes, that's right.

968
00:59:15,016 --> 00:59:16,084
Yes.

969
00:59:16,092 --> 00:59:19,004
He said he wanted
to get to the core of the play.

970
00:59:19,012 --> 00:59:22,020
But of course really he wanted
more stage time for himself.

971
00:59:22,028 --> 00:59:24,048
I'd like to have seen it.
(CHUCKLES)

972
00:59:24,056 --> 00:59:26,064
Well, I'd imagine you'd have been
too young.

973
00:59:26,068 --> 00:59:30,004
Well, how can I help you?

974
00:59:30,012 --> 00:59:32,048
Um, I'm writing a book
about the playhouse

975
00:59:32,056 --> 00:59:34,044
and I wondered
if I could interview you.

976
00:59:34,052 --> 00:59:37,032
Well, I'm not really interested
in being interviewed.

977
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,024
It's been a long time now,
since I was in the public eye.

978
00:59:40,032 --> 00:59:44,028
Six years. I know you retired.
After the accident.

979
00:59:44,032 --> 00:59:46,056
I was quite badly hurt.

980
00:59:47,096 --> 00:59:49,084
And of course my wife was...

981
00:59:49,088 --> 00:59:52,072
I know. I'm sorry.

982
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:57,008
Still, I might be able to help you
in what you want to know.

983
00:59:57,012 --> 00:59:59,092
I was in Causton.

984
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,036
That's one of the reasons
I decided to settle here.

985
01:00:03,096 --> 01:00:06,080
But I'd rather you didn't mention
the name of the house.

986
01:00:06,084 --> 01:00:08,072
I don't like people coming here.

987
01:00:08,076 --> 01:00:11,028
Well...the public, you know.

988
01:00:11,032 --> 01:00:12,096
Whatever you say.

989
01:00:13,004 --> 01:00:15,036
You don't mind if I tape it though,
just for myself?

990
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,028
No, no, no.

That's right, Alex.
I want all the glasses in lines.

Good.

997
01:00:36,016 --> 01:00:40,000
Oh, Ray, that smells good.
Thank you.

998
01:00:41,092 --> 01:00:45,056
I don't know how you can go through
with this so soon after...

999
01:00:45,064 --> 01:00:48,064
Miss him, do you?
Peter Drinkwater?

1000
01:00:50,020 --> 01:00:53,096
Not particularly.
Nor do I. Nor does anyone.

1001
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,016
But if you are missing him,

1002
01:00:56,024 --> 01:00:58,056
here's something
to remember him by.

1003
01:00:58,060 --> 01:01:00,032

How do you do?

And Samantha Johnstone.
How do you do?

01:01:46,060 --> 01:01:48,020
I'm afraid it's a very
tight schedule.

1017
01:01:48,028 --> 01:01:50,024
We only have an hour and a half.
Excuse me.

1018

It will be his job to give you
the full historical tour.

to the present day.

what we believe

01:02:12,072 --> 01:02:14,072
was once a Saxon burial ground.

Alex, didn't someone
just take a bottle?

01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,028
No, Mrs Devere.

get on with it.

if you want the truth.

1039
01:02:52,024 --> 01:02:53,092
We'll wait till they get back.

1041
01:03:02,020 --> 01:03:03,096
Thank you very much
for talking to me.

1042
01:03:04,004 --> 01:03:06,064
I enjoyed it.
I like the idea of your book.

1043
01:03:06,072 --> 01:03:08,028
We should talk again.
I'd like that.

1044
01:03:08,036 --> 01:03:11,060
Do you have a car?
No, I'm walking to the village.

1045
01:03:11,064 --> 01:03:13,036
Oh.

1046
01:03:13,044 --> 01:03:15,048
Well, I'll come with you,
if you don't mind.

1047
01:03:15,056 --> 01:03:18,060
I've got a bit of shopping to do.
Sure.

1048

1049
01:03:22,004 --> 01:03:23,080
There was a time
you didn't have to lock up.

1050
01:03:23,084 --> 01:03:25,028

And that brings us back to the green
where we started.

1059
01:04:18,072 --> 01:04:21,008
And also to the present day.

1060
01:04:21,012 --> 01:04:23,092
We have a fete here every summer,

1061
01:04:23,096 --> 01:04:26,096
bonfire night, pancake races

1062
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,020
and Easter egg hunts.

1063
01:04:29,028 --> 01:04:32,092
Midsomer Mallow isn't just
a village, it's a community.

1064
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,008
And in conclusion, I have to say
that we certainly find it perfect.

1065
01:04:37,012 --> 01:04:38,084
Bravo. Well said.

1066
01:04:40,044 --> 01:04:42,044
Are you looking for someone?

1067
01:04:42,048 --> 01:04:44,036
I'm not sure.

1068
01:04:44,044 --> 01:04:47,040
Well, you must be hungry.
Starving after all that walking.

1069
01:04:47,048 --> 01:04:52,040
We have home-made wine
and all the food is locally grown.

If you'd care to step this way.

Mr Barnaby.
Mr Devere.

1072
01:05:01,064 --> 01:05:04,048
You're not, um...

1073
01:05:04,056 --> 01:05:07,060
I don't suppose your investigation
could wait just a minute or two?

1074
01:05:07,068 --> 01:05:10,072
Well, I wouldn't want to
obstruct justice

1075
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,020
but the thing is we're in the middle
of this competition.

1076
01:05:13,024 --> 01:05:14,080
So I see.

1077
01:05:14,088 --> 01:05:17,080
It was a committee decision to go
ahead but we were rather hoping

1078
01:05:17,088 --> 01:05:20,000
that no-one
would actually mention the...

1079
01:05:20,004 --> 01:05:21,064
..the murder.

1080
01:05:21,068 --> 01:05:23,040
You think it'll spoil your chances?

1081
01:05:23,044 --> 01:05:25,024
Well, absolutely.

1082
01:05:25,032 --> 01:05:27,096
Don't worry, Mr Devere. We are here
in an unofficial capacity.

1083
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,080
One of the judges is my wife.

1084
01:05:29,084 --> 01:05:31,080
Mrs Barnaby, of course!

1085
01:05:31,084 --> 01:05:33,060
And I haven't said a word.

Did you find Midsomer Mallow guilty
or not guilty, hm?

No. It's home-made wine.
Oh, forget it.

It was nice to meet you, Cally.
And you.

I'm meeting my parents for a drink.
Do you want to join us?

No. thank you all the same.

Bye-bye, then.

I can't believe it.

1103
01:06:33,096 --> 01:06:36,012
Rosemary Furman hates
the countryside.

1104
01:06:36,016 --> 01:06:37,076
She lives in London,

1105
01:06:37,084 --> 01:06:40,072
and as far as I can make out
she never leaves it.

1106
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:43,048
I mean she edits Country Matters
from the heart of Soho.

1107
01:06:43,056 --> 01:06:47,016
Exactly. She and Frank Mannion
are at each other's throats

1108
01:06:47,024 --> 01:06:49,040
the whole time.
He can't stand her.

Here's Cally.

1110
01:06:51,016 --> 01:06:55,008
Mother's just been giving me an
insiders view of the judging panel.

1111
01:06:55,016 --> 01:06:58,016
The only decent one
is Samantha Johnstone.

1112
01:06:58,024 --> 01:07:00,076
I think I'd better
go and rescue her.

1113
01:07:02,044 --> 01:07:04,060
Did you see him?
Yeah. He's nice.

1114
01:07:04,068 --> 01:07:06,092
You're right about the house,
though. It's creepy.

1115
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,052
Are you alright, Samantha?
No.

1116
01:07:09,056 --> 01:07:11,024
No, I'm not alright.

1117
01:07:11,032 --> 01:07:13,052
I've just seen someone
in the... street.

1118
01:07:13,056 --> 01:07:15,008
In the street?

1119
01:07:18,060 --> 01:07:21,092
Um, you can get me another of those,
please.

1120
01:07:23,076 --> 01:07:25,048
Would you like to come and meet Tom?

1121
01:07:25,052 --> 01:07:26,096
No, no, I'm alright.

1122
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,068

she wants another drink.

01:07:41,072 --> 01:07:45,016

of your program, Mr Mannion.

Oh, please. Make that Frank.

1126
01:07:47,064 --> 01:07:50,068
Do you have a garden?
Yes.

1127
01:07:50,076 --> 01:07:54,052
Nothing grand. Just a little patch
out the back.

1128
01:07:54,060 --> 01:07:56,000
That's all you need.

it's cyanide.

Abnormally pink.
Her red cells have been oxygenated.

Classic.

1160
01:09:56,068 --> 01:09:59,008
Cyanide. That's got no taste, has it?

1161
01:09:59,012 --> 01:10:00,096
Right.

1162
01:10:01,004 --> 01:10:03,068
And one in four people
can't smell it either.

1163
01:10:03,072 --> 01:10:05,084
Not a lot of people know that.

1164
01:10:07,068 --> 01:10:10,028
Bung it in a glass of wine,
she wouldn't have known a thing.

1165

Now, the other woman.

01:10:13,096 --> 01:10:15,056
Bella Devere.

1168
01:10:15,064 --> 01:10:18,008
Yeah. She was lucky,
she only took a sip.

1169
01:10:18,012 --> 01:10:20,048
Where is she?

1170
01:10:20,056 --> 01:10:23,040
The other doctor sent her home.
There's not much he can do.

1171
01:10:23,048 --> 01:10:26,044
Plenty of water, rest.
That's about it.

OK.

1174
01:10:33,076 --> 01:10:36,072
carrying a glass of wine on a tray

1175
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,048
and...and she took it,
she drank it

1176
01:10:39,052 --> 01:10:41,012
and...

1177
01:10:41,024 --> 01:10:44,032
Were there any other glasses
on the tray?
What?

1178
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,000
How many glasses
was the little boy carrying?

1179
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:52,032
Just...just the one.
She took it and drank it...

1180
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,036
Laura.
Leave me alone.

1181
01:10:56,052 --> 01:10:59,024
Just leave me alone!

1182
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,084
Was it you?
Did you poison her?

1183
01:11:04,016 --> 01:11:05,096
You've gone mad.

1184
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,064
Haven't you just...?

1185
01:11:07,068 --> 01:11:09,016

01:11:15,064 --> 01:11:17,024
Are you alright?

1187
01:11:17,032 --> 01:11:20,072
Tom, the editor, Rosemary Furman?
Dead, I'm afraid.

1188
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,060
Cyanide poisoning,
would you believe it?

1189
01:11:22,068 --> 01:11:25,064
Oh, but why?
Who would want to kill her?

1190
01:11:25,072 --> 01:11:27,096
She might not have been
the target.

1191
01:11:28,004 --> 01:11:29,088
Crowded tent, bottles and glasses
everywhere.

1192
01:11:29,092 --> 01:11:31,048
Was anyone else poisoned?

1193
01:11:31,056 --> 01:11:33,096
Dunno. Lot of glasses were broken
when Bella fell over.

1194
01:11:34,004 --> 01:11:36,060
Look, I've got a lot of work to do.
You go on home.

1195
01:11:36,068 --> 01:11:39,024
I'll catch up with you later,
alright?

1196
01:11:39,028 --> 01:11:41,040
I didn't see anything.

1197
01:11:41,048 --> 01:11:43,052
I had nothing to do with the wine,
you see.

1198
01:11:43,056 --> 01:11:45,032
I was looking after the food.

1199
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,072
Do you know who opened the wine?
Ah, Mr and Mrs Devere.

1200
01:11:48,076 --> 01:11:50,064
And Caroline.

1201
01:11:51,088 --> 01:11:55,024
She saw him, you know.
Mrs Devere.

1202
01:11:55,028 --> 01:11:57,044
Just after the judges arrived

1203
01:11:57,048 --> 01:11:59,032
and that lady introduced us.

1204
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,096
That's when she saw someone
in the tent.

1205
01:12:02,004 --> 01:12:05,060
Doing what?
Taking one of the bottles.

1206
01:12:05,064 --> 01:12:08,080
That's what she said.

1207
01:12:08,084 --> 01:12:11,032
I didn't see who it was.

1208
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:14,000
I'm not even sure
if it was a man.

1209
01:12:14,008 --> 01:12:18,040
The sun was in my eyes
and it was dark in the tent.

1210
01:12:18,048 --> 01:12:23,024
And he was taking a bottle?
He...had a bottle in his hand.

1211
01:12:23,028 --> 01:12:25,028
Perhaps he wasn't taking a bottle

1212
01:12:25,036 --> 01:12:27,068
but rather putting a new bottle
in with the others?

1213
01:12:27,072 --> 01:12:29,056
I don't know.

1214
01:12:29,064 --> 01:12:32,036
Did anyone else come over to
the table while you were serving?

1215
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,048
I was there.

1216
01:12:34,052 --> 01:12:36,064
And a little boy, Alex.

1217
01:12:36,072 --> 01:12:39,060
He came over with an empty glass
and Mummy filled it.

1218
01:12:39,068 --> 01:12:43,028
Was this before or after you took
a drink yourself, Mrs Devere?

1219
01:12:43,032 --> 01:12:46,000
I don't know. I don't remember.

1220
01:12:46,008 --> 01:12:49,032
I don't think this is the right time
to be asking my wife questions

1221
01:12:49,036 --> 01:12:51,004
Chief Inspector.

1222
01:12:51,012 --> 01:12:53,000
No, they have to,
they have to find who it was

1223
01:12:53,004 --> 01:12:54,064
because - don't you see?

1224
01:12:54,072 --> 01:12:58,008
It was me they were trying to kill.
(SOBS)

1225
01:13:24,016 --> 01:13:25,060
Biscuit?

1226
01:13:31,060 --> 01:13:33,012
I didn't kill him.

1227
01:13:33,016 --> 01:13:35,056
Peter Drinkwater.

1228
01:13:37,032 --> 01:13:39,040
I know that's what you're thinking.

1229
01:13:39,044 --> 01:13:41,048
I wanted to.

1230
01:13:43,008 --> 01:13:45,032
I saw him leaving here.

1231
01:13:47,004 --> 01:13:49,024
That must have been
when he stole my credit card.

1232
01:13:50,060 --> 01:13:52,032
I know what the two of you
were up to.

1233
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,016
I think it's disgusting.

1234
01:13:57,020 --> 01:13:59,044
You're old enough to be his mother.

1235
01:14:01,024 --> 01:14:04,028
But...the trousers?

1236
01:14:04,032 --> 01:14:05,088
The ones that I found.

1237
01:14:05,092 --> 01:14:08,036
The blood came out of the surgery.

1238
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,008
Cat's blood.

1239
01:14:10,012 --> 01:14:12,092
And the gold chain.

1240
01:14:14,024 --> 01:14:15,072
I bought that.

1241
01:14:17,004 --> 01:14:19,032
I know what you think of me, Laura.

1242
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,032
It's how you've always
thought of me.

1243
01:14:21,036 --> 01:14:24,040
But just for a little while

1244
01:14:24,048 --> 01:14:27,080
I wanted you to believe
I had killed him.

1245
01:14:27,088 --> 01:14:31,072
I wanted you to think I had the
strength to shove a fork into him.

1246
01:14:33,008 --> 01:14:34,064
It amused me.

1247
01:14:34,068 --> 01:14:37,020
Made me feel good.

1248
01:14:37,028 --> 01:14:42,004
Gordon.
You disgust me.

1249
01:14:42,012 --> 01:14:44,028
I want you to move out
of my house.

1250
01:14:44,036 --> 01:14:46,076
I don't want to see you again.
I don't want to know you.

1251
01:14:50,024 --> 01:14:52,000
God, Troy, what a mess.

1252
01:14:52,004 --> 01:14:54,008
Poisoning in front of our very eyes

1253
01:14:54,016 --> 01:14:56,056
and we still don't know who it is,
who was meant to die.

1254
01:14:56,064 --> 01:15:00,024
You think this is connected
with Peter Drinkwater's death, sir?

1255
01:15:00,032 --> 01:15:02,048
Unless it was an attack
on the whole village.

1256
01:15:02,056 --> 01:15:05,000
To spoil their chances
of the Perfect Village Competition?

1257
01:15:05,004 --> 01:15:07,040
I don't think so. (CHUCKLES)

1258
01:15:07,048 --> 01:15:13,028
So here we have Marcus and Bella
Devere serving the wine.

1259
01:15:13,032 --> 01:15:15,072
Bella opens a fresh bottle.

1260
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:18,032
Which must've been tampered with by
whoever it was she saw.

1261
01:15:18,036 --> 01:15:20,092
One thing bothers me, Troy.

1262
01:15:20,096 --> 01:15:23,016
The judges have just arrived.

1263
01:15:23,020 --> 01:15:24,080
Big four, including Joyce.

1264
01:15:24,088 --> 01:15:27,008
This is the moment
they've been waiting for

1265
01:15:27,012 --> 01:15:29,092
so why look into the tent at all?

1266
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,084
According to your wife, Samantha
Johnstone asked for a glass of wine

1267
01:15:32,088 --> 01:15:34,052
just before it happened.

1268
01:15:34,060 --> 01:15:36,064
You spoke to Joyce?
Few questions, yeah.

1269
01:15:36,068 --> 01:15:38,024
Mmm.

1270
01:15:38,032 --> 01:15:43,036
Samantha Johnstone asked for wine.
Yes. She was here.

1271
01:15:43,044 --> 01:15:45,092
There was a 12-year-old, Alex James,
he went and got it.

1272
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:50,064
And according to Caroline Devere,
he was only carrying a single glass.

1273
01:15:50,068 --> 01:15:52,024
Laura Brierly says the same.

1274
01:15:52,028 --> 01:15:56,060
Could it be that the poisoned wine

1275
01:15:56,064 --> 01:15:59,012
was intended for Samantha Johnstone?

1276
01:15:59,020 --> 01:16:02,028
Well, perhaps.
But nobody even knew she was coming.

1277
01:16:02,032 --> 01:16:04,000
She was a replacement.

1278
01:16:04,008 --> 01:16:06,040
So why would anyone decide
to kill her?

1279
01:16:08,008 --> 01:16:09,080
Where is she now?

1280
01:16:26,064 --> 01:16:28,048
Hello. Miss Hipson?

1281
01:16:28,052 --> 01:16:30,052
I wonder if you could help me.

1282
01:16:30,056 --> 01:16:33,008
I need a telephone number.

1283
01:16:33,016 --> 01:16:35,044
It's in Gloucestershire.
KNOCK AT DOOR

1284
01:16:35,048 --> 01:16:37,032
Er, one moment.

1285
01:16:40,020 --> 01:16:41,080
(OPENS DOOR)

1286
01:16:51,036 --> 01:16:54,092
Mr Mannion.
No, I'm sorry. No autographs now.

1287
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,068
I'm from Causton police, Mr Mannion.
Are you leaving?

1288
01:16:58,072 --> 01:17:00,028
Yes, I am leaving.

1289
01:17:00,036 --> 01:17:02,064
They tried to bore us to death
in the first village

1290
01:17:02,072 --> 01:17:05,028
and when that doesn't work
they try to poison us in the next.

1291
01:17:05,032 --> 01:17:07,000
Well, I've had enough.

1292
01:17:07,008 --> 01:17:09,084
Have you seen Samantha Johnstone?
No, I have not.

1293
01:17:12,008 --> 01:17:14,068
She's in room 200, opposite mine.

1294
01:17:24,076 --> 01:17:27,048
Police. Is that your pass key?
Thank you.

1295
01:17:37,044 --> 01:17:39,008
Damn.

1296
01:17:39,012 --> 01:17:41,024
I think we are a little late.

1297
01:17:46,008 --> 01:17:48,052
Dead?
Jabbed.

1298
01:17:48,056 --> 01:17:50,012
But, Dad, what's going on?

1299
01:17:50,020 --> 01:17:53,004
I need you to think
very carefully, Joyce.

1300
01:17:53,012 --> 01:17:56,024
There is somebody extremely dangerous
in Midsomer Mallow.

1301
01:17:56,032 --> 01:18:00,000
First Peter Drinkwater, then what
could've been a mass poisoning

1302
01:18:00,008 --> 01:18:02,052
and now this.
You think they're all connected?

1303
01:18:02,060 --> 01:18:04,080
I think the first death
prompted the next two.

1304
01:18:04,088 --> 01:18:07,092
But I don't quite know how.
That's why I need your help.

1305
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,024
You were the last person to speak to
Samantha Johnstone in the tent.

1306
01:18:11,032 --> 01:18:13,032
What did she say?
I don't know.

1307
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:17,056
The music was so loud
I can't be sure I heard.

1308
01:18:17,064 --> 01:18:22,056
She was worried about something.
Something or somebody she'd seen.

1309
01:18:22,064 --> 01:18:26,060
She said, "I've just seen someone
in the street."

1310
01:18:26,068 --> 01:18:29,048
That's what it sounded like.
In the street?

1311
01:18:29,056 --> 01:18:33,000
But there wasn't anybody in the
street except Cully and that man.

1312
01:18:33,008 --> 01:18:35,016
Edward Allardice?
Was he on the green?

1313
01:18:35,024 --> 01:18:38,044
He didn't go anywhere near the tent.
He came in to do some shopping.

1314
01:18:38,052 --> 01:18:40,040
Wouldn't the village shop
have been closed?

1315
01:18:40,048 --> 01:18:44,024
Did you get to know
Samantha Johnstone at all?

1316
01:18:44,032 --> 01:18:46,040
Yes, yes, I did,
I had a drink with her.

1317
01:18:46,048 --> 01:18:49,024
We talked for about an hour.
Did she tell you anything?

1318
01:18:49,028 --> 01:18:51,076
Yes, she was an unhappy person.

1319
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,036
Clinically depressed.

1320
01:18:53,044 --> 01:18:56,024
In fact she hinted
that she'd tried to commit suicide.

1321
01:18:56,028 --> 01:18:58,032
She was committed for a while.

1322
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,076
She spent six months at a place
called Sebdon Manor.

1323
01:19:02,088 --> 01:19:06,016
Did she say where that was?
It wasn't in Gloucestershire?
Yes.

1324
01:19:06,024 --> 01:19:08,044
She tried to make a phone call
to Gloucestershire

1325
01:19:08,052 --> 01:19:12,068
just before she died.
Just one last question, Joyce.

1326
01:19:12,076 --> 01:19:16,008
Did any of the other judges know
about the murder of Peter Drinkwater?

1327
01:19:16,016 --> 01:19:19,040
Oh, yes, we all did. Frank Mannion
had read about it in the paper.

1328
01:19:19,048 --> 01:19:21,048
He made a joke about it on the bus.
Right.

1329
01:19:23,060 --> 01:19:26,068
Where are you going?
Gloucestershire. Don't wait up.

1330
01:19:40,016 --> 01:19:41,080
Marcus.

1331
01:19:42,028 --> 01:19:44,000
How are you feeling, old girl?

1332
01:19:44,096 --> 01:19:47,020
(SIGHS) I'm tired.

1333
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,068
I brought you something.

1334
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:56,036
It's been quite a day.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)

1335
01:19:56,044 --> 01:19:58,036
Yes.
PIANO PLAYS SOFTLY

1336
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,000
You sure you're feeling better?

1337
01:20:04,024 --> 01:20:06,044
Yes.

1338
01:20:06,048 --> 01:20:08,084
I'm alright now.

1339
01:20:08,092 --> 01:20:11,076
You gave me quite a scare,
bear in mind.

1340
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,044
(SOFTLY CHUCKLES)

1341
01:20:24,052 --> 01:20:26,056
I love you.

1342
01:20:28,092 --> 01:20:31,020
You know that?

1343
01:20:34,052 --> 01:20:37,020
Marcus.

1344
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:41,012
Everything's gonna be alright.

1345
01:21:00,008 --> 01:21:02,032
SECURITY: Name, please?
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.

1346
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,060
I called you earlier.
OK. Gates are opening.

1347
01:21:29,076 --> 01:21:31,052
Barnaby?
Yes.

1348
01:21:31,056 --> 01:21:34,004
I'm Doctor Sellers. Mark Sellers.

1349
01:21:34,008 --> 01:21:35,092
I head up the psychiatric staff.

1350
01:21:35,096 --> 01:21:37,068
How can I help you?

1351
01:21:37,076 --> 01:21:40,048
I want to ask you about
one of your former patients.

1352
01:21:40,052 --> 01:21:41,088
Samantha Johnstone.

1353
01:21:43,064 --> 01:21:45,056
Do you have some ID?
Ah.

1354
01:21:49,012 --> 01:21:51,004
Oh yes, thank you.

1355
01:21:52,068 --> 01:21:54,024
Detective Sergeant Tory?

1356
01:21:54,028 --> 01:21:56,044
Troy.

1357
01:21:56,048 --> 01:21:58,004
Oh,yes.

1358
01:21:58,008 --> 01:22:00,028
I have mild dyslexia.

1359
01:22:00,036 --> 01:22:03,012
Samantha Johnstone.
Yes, I remember her. The writer.

1360
01:22:03,016 --> 01:22:04,072
Come in.

1361
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:09,032
You have to understand that Manor
is not a psychiatric hospital

1362
01:22:09,036 --> 01:22:10,096
in the strictest sense.

1363
01:22:12,060 --> 01:22:16,064
Very few of our patients
have actually been sectioned.

1364
01:22:16,072 --> 01:22:19,088
Those that have, are usually
very close to the end

1365
01:22:19,092 --> 01:22:22,024
of their terms of sentence.

1366
01:22:22,032 --> 01:22:26,008
They see us more as a sort of
halfway house.

1367
01:22:27,012 --> 01:22:30,004
Had Samantha Johnstone been
sectioned?

1368
01:22:30,008 --> 01:22:32,068
No. She committed herself.

1369
01:22:34,020 --> 01:22:38,020
An attempted  suicide.
Yes, this was 22 years ago.

1370
01:22:38,024 --> 01:22:39,092
Marital breakdown.

1371
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,028
Lack of self-esteem, leading to
alcoholism and problems with dogs.

1372
01:22:45,096 --> 01:22:48,004
Drugs.

1373
01:22:49,016 --> 01:22:50,080
How long was she here?

1374
01:22:50,084 --> 01:22:52,064
18 months.

1375
01:22:52,068 --> 01:22:54,068
She arrived just before I did

1376
01:22:54,076 --> 01:22:57,036
which is probably why
I remember her.

1377
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,076
Did she get to know anyone?

1378
01:22:59,084 --> 01:23:01,076
Was there anyone
she was particularly close to?

1379
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,084
It's funny you should ask that,
I was just about to say, yes.

1380
01:23:05,088 --> 01:23:08,032
She formed quite a close friendship

1381
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,000
with one of our most notorious
residents,

1382
01:23:11,004 --> 01:23:13,068
Annabel Weston.

1383
01:23:13,076 --> 01:23:16,000
I don't suppose the name means
anything to you.

1384
01:23:16,004 --> 01:23:18,000
No, please. Go on.

1385
01:23:18,008 --> 01:23:22,056
Westoncoast was very famous
in its time, 1955.

1386
01:23:23,068 --> 01:23:26,020
Annabel was 7-years-old, then.

1387
01:23:26,028 --> 01:23:29,048
I don't want you to go!
Why do you have to go?

1388
01:23:29,052 --> 01:23:31,036
Come on Anna, we talked about this.

1389
01:23:31,044 --> 01:23:34,020
Her parents were wealthy
and hardworking.

1390
01:23:34,028 --> 01:23:38,044
The father was an accountant.
They had a big place near the coast.

1391
01:23:39,016 --> 01:23:41,044
Charmed life.
Are you off, then?

1392
01:23:41,052 --> 01:23:43,024
Probably what made it all
so shocking.

1393
01:23:43,028 --> 01:23:44,088
You'll be alright with Mrs Foster.

1394
01:23:44,092 --> 01:23:47,028
No I won't.

1395
01:23:48,048 --> 01:23:51,076
Oh, you naughty child.

1396
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,092
It was one night in June.

1397
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,072
Nobody knows exactly what
happened, except...

1398
01:23:56,080 --> 01:24:00,080
..the child must have had some sort
of argument with the housekeeper,

1399
01:24:00,084 --> 01:24:02,080
a Mrs Foster.

1400
01:24:16,068 --> 01:24:19,032
Anyway, the child went down
into the kitchen.

1401
01:24:19,036 --> 01:24:20,084
She pulled out a knife.

1402
01:24:22,096 --> 01:24:26,068
And...well, she butchered
the housekeeper.

1403
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,076
Stabbed her.
Seven or eight times.

1404
01:24:32,024 --> 01:24:34,048
(WOMAN SCREAMING)

1405
01:24:38,028 --> 01:24:42,000
Then she went to bed. She was asleep
when her parents got back.

1406
01:24:42,004 --> 01:24:43,052
(WHISPERS) Annabel.

1407
01:24:47,052 --> 01:24:49,036
Thank God.

1408
01:24:49,044 --> 01:24:52,088
The knife was beheld
by one of her stuffed toys.

1409
01:24:57,044 --> 01:25:00,028
There was never any question
that she died.

1410
01:25:00,032 --> 01:25:02,068
She admitted as much to her parents.

1411
01:25:03,088 --> 01:25:06,020
She didn't like the housekeeper, so

1412
01:25:06,024 --> 01:25:07,080
she killed her.

1413
01:25:07,088 --> 01:25:10,068
She had no idea
she'd done anything wrong.

1414
01:25:10,076 --> 01:25:13,040
And they sent her here?
Oh, no. No.

1415
01:25:13,048 --> 01:25:16,068
She went to various secure
institutions

1416
01:25:16,072 --> 01:25:18,032
before going to Brogmore.

1417
01:25:18,036 --> 01:25:21,052
She was there for over ten years.

1418
01:25:21,060 --> 01:25:24,040
She certainly wasn't
a threat to anyone, anymore

1419
01:25:24,044 --> 01:25:26,044
So she eventually ended up here.

1420
01:25:26,048 --> 01:25:28,056
And Samantha Johnstone?

1421
01:25:28,064 --> 01:25:30,028
More or less took her under
her wing.

1422
01:25:30,036 --> 01:25:33,048
There was something of a child
still, about Annabel.

1423
01:25:33,056 --> 01:25:35,076
Both her parents were dead
by this point.

1424
01:25:35,084 --> 01:25:38,068
Samantha became something of
a surrogate,

1425
01:25:38,072 --> 01:25:40,096
here in The Retreat.

1426
01:25:42,056 --> 01:25:44,008
I'm sorry.
What?

1427
01:25:44,012 --> 01:25:45,084
What did you call this place?

1428
01:25:45,088 --> 01:25:47,088
The Retreat.

1429
01:25:47,092 --> 01:25:51,080
Manor sounds so prim and Victorian.

1430
01:25:51,088 --> 01:25:55,084
Everyone here calls it
The Retreat.

1431
01:25:55,092 --> 01:25:59,028
We like to think of ourselves
as a shelter.

1432
01:25:59,032 --> 01:26:02,080
One step away from the real world.

1433
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,016
We've got to get back to
Midsomer Mallow.

1434
01:26:08,024 --> 01:26:09,084
Annabel Weston.
She's there, Troy.

1435
01:26:09,088 --> 01:26:11,048
Cally told me as much.

1436
01:26:11,056 --> 01:26:13,052
Homicidal maniac running about
with a pitchfork.

1437
01:26:13,056 --> 01:26:15,052
And for once, Cally was right.

1438
01:26:25,020 --> 01:26:27,012
Where are you going?
Oh, Gray Friar's house.

1439
01:26:27,016 --> 01:26:28,088
I left my tape recorder there.

1440
01:26:30,008 --> 01:26:31,056
Later.

1441
01:26:34,064 --> 01:26:36,072
Rosemary Furman's death
was a mistake.

1442
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:40,012
The poison wine was aimed at
Samantha Johnstone.

1443
01:26:40,016 --> 01:26:41,080
Because Annabel Weston knew her?

1444
01:26:41,088 --> 01:26:45,068
Because Samantha Johnstone knew
Annabel Weston. Think about it.

1445
01:26:45,076 --> 01:26:49,052
A murder has taken place
a few days before at Midsomer Mallow.

1446
01:26:49,060 --> 01:26:51,076
And no ordinary murder.
A psychotic.

1447
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,036
Pitchforks, it's just -

1448
01:26:53,044 --> 01:26:55,008
Annabel Weston was living
in the village.

1449
01:26:55,012 --> 01:26:56,092
Under another name, Jane.

1450
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,032
And the one person who knows
her secret

1451
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,000
is suddenly right there
in front of her.

1452
01:27:01,004 --> 01:27:02,064
Timing couldn't have been worse.

1453
01:27:02,072 --> 01:27:05,004
One word from Samantha
and Annabel is exposed, so,

1454
01:27:05,008 --> 01:27:08,052
Samantha has to die.

1455
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,012
Hello?

1456
01:27:33,044 --> 01:27:35,012
Is anyone there?

1457
01:27:42,008 --> 01:27:43,096
Hello?

1458
01:27:47,052 --> 01:27:50,044
SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

1459

FLOOR CREAKS

1460
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,024
Who are you?

1461
01:28:26,028 --> 01:28:28,052
What are you doing here?

1462
01:28:28,056 --> 01:28:30,024
Who are you?

1463
01:28:30,028 --> 01:28:31,096
Cully.

1464
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:33,088
I'm sorry.

1465
01:28:36,056 --> 01:28:40,072
This is Cully Barnaby,
the girl I told you about.

1466
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:45,024
I'm...I'm sorry, Cully.

1467
01:28:45,032 --> 01:28:48,056
I didn't mean to frighten you,
but I've been so afraid, I...

1468
01:28:48,064 --> 01:28:51,060
..I thought I heard someone,
I picked up the knife.

1469
01:28:51,064 --> 01:28:53,012
It's alright, my dear.

1470
01:28:53,016 --> 01:28:56,000
It's ever since we were burgled.

1471
01:28:56,008 --> 01:28:57,092
No, no, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be here.

1472
01:28:57,096 --> 01:28:59,080
I just came to collect my tape.

1473
01:29:01,052 --> 01:29:03,004
Cully.

1474
01:29:03,008 --> 01:29:04,064
Let me introduce you.

1475
01:29:09,016 --> 01:29:10,088
This is Jane Rochelle,

1476
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,056
my wife.

1477
01:29:16,052 --> 01:29:20,016
BIRD TWITTERING

1478
01:29:21,088 --> 01:29:24,000
(RINGS DOORBELL)

1479
01:29:32,012 --> 01:29:33,064
Mr Barnaby.

1480
01:29:33,068 --> 01:29:35,052
Yes, come in.

1481
01:29:55,060 --> 01:29:57,092
I'm afraid Bella isn't here.

1482
01:29:57,096 --> 01:29:59,076
You know it's her we've come to see?

1483
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,028
Oh, yes.

1484
01:30:01,032 --> 01:30:03,080
Bella. Short for Annabel.

1485
01:30:03,084 --> 01:30:05,048
Yes.

1486
01:30:05,056 --> 01:30:08,072
You knew she'd killed
Peter Drinkwater.

1487
01:30:15,020 --> 01:30:17,064
I suppose I'd better tell you
the truth.

1488
01:30:17,072 --> 01:30:20,096
It won't make a jot of difference
now to Bella or to me.

1489
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:22,056
Yes, I knew.

1490
01:30:22,064 --> 01:30:24,060
She told you?
Didn't have to.

1491
01:30:24,064 --> 01:30:27,044
I knew at once.

1492
01:30:27,052 --> 01:30:29,024
As soon as I heard
he'd been found dead.

1493
01:30:29,032 --> 01:30:31,036
You knew who she was
when you married her.

1494
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:33,068
Annabel Weston. Yes.

1495
01:30:33,072 --> 01:30:35,052
Yes, I knew.

1496
01:30:39,088 --> 01:30:42,056
She answered an ad that I put
in the newspaper.

1497
01:30:42,060 --> 01:30:44,004
Lonely hearts.

1498
01:30:45,004 --> 01:30:46,084
And...

1499
01:30:46,092 --> 01:30:50,016
..I fell in love with her.
Just like that.

1500
01:30:50,024 --> 01:30:52,060
Of course, I soon found out
the truth about her.

1501
01:30:52,064 --> 01:30:54,024
Couldn't be avoided.

1502
01:30:54,032 --> 01:30:56,032
She was still under supervision,
then.

1503
01:30:56,036 --> 01:30:57,092
I brought her into the home office.

1504
01:30:59,068 --> 01:31:01,068
But it didn't matter to me

1505
01:31:01,076 --> 01:31:03,092
what she'd done
when she was a child.

1506
01:31:05,016 --> 01:31:07,012
I loved her.

1507
01:31:07,020 --> 01:31:10,072
So it was her driving your car
that day at Windy Whistle farm?

1508
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,044
Yes.
Had to be one or the other, Troy.

1509
01:31:13,048 --> 01:31:16,008
The daughter or the mother.

1510
01:31:17,068 --> 01:31:19,020
You knew I was lying?

1511
01:31:19,024 --> 01:31:21,036
Yes.

1512
01:31:25,096 --> 01:31:27,096
Jack?

1513
01:31:44,008 --> 01:31:45,052
What?

1514
01:31:58,060 --> 01:32:02,000
Peter Drinkwater killed
shortly before three o'clock.

1515
01:32:02,008 --> 01:32:06,068
The killer was seen leaving the farm
a few minutes later by Ray Dorset.

1516
01:32:06,072 --> 01:32:09,036
who was on his way to Causton.

1517
01:32:12,036 --> 01:32:14,064
You tried to pretend it was you,
didn't you?

1518
01:32:14,068 --> 01:32:17,000
I knew you were lying.

1519
01:32:17,008 --> 01:32:20,032
Just took me a little while
to work out why.

1520
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:22,044
Are you certain
it was Ray driving the van?

1521
01:32:22,052 --> 01:32:25,008
Yes, he had the window down.
He was smoking a cigarette.

1522
01:32:25,012 --> 01:32:26,068
Ray smokes all the time.

1523
01:32:26,072 --> 01:32:28,048
Ray Dorset,

1524
01:32:28,056 --> 01:32:31,024
was driving to Causton on
the same side of the road

1525
01:32:31,028 --> 01:32:32,092
as the farm entrance.

1526
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,084
So the driving seat would
be on the other side,

1527
01:32:35,088 --> 01:32:37,052
away from the farm.

1528
01:32:37,060 --> 01:32:39,028
There was no way you would
be able to see

1529
01:32:39,036 --> 01:32:42,096
if the window was open or closed
or for that matter,

1530
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,012
if the driver was smoking.

1531
01:32:45,020 --> 01:32:47,076
Yes, I was having to think
on my feet rather.

1532
01:32:47,084 --> 01:32:49,088
And there was
something else you said.

1533
01:32:49,092 --> 01:32:53,052
Troy asked you what time you left.

1534
01:32:53,056 --> 01:32:57,012
It would be about half two.

1535
01:32:57,016 --> 01:32:59,076
You'd just gone up for your nap.

1536
01:32:59,084 --> 01:33:02,068
She always dozes off
in the afternoon.

1537
01:33:02,076 --> 01:33:06,048
And that's when I went.
A CROW CALLS

1538
01:33:06,056 --> 01:33:10,020
It was half past two.
Yes.

1539
01:33:10,028 --> 01:33:13,004
That business about Bella
going upstairs

1540
01:33:13,008 --> 01:33:14,084
for her nap.

1541
01:33:14,092 --> 01:33:18,008
You weren't asking her
to corroborate your story,

1542
01:33:18,016 --> 01:33:21,092
you were purposefully
trying to give her an alibi.

1543
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:24,040
She was asleep,
you were in the car.

1544
01:33:24,044 --> 01:33:27,040
You were trying to protect her.

1545
01:33:27,044 --> 01:33:29,012
Yes.

1546
01:33:29,016 --> 01:33:31,008
But why did she kill him?

1547
01:33:31,012 --> 01:33:32,076
What was the point?

1548
01:33:32,084 --> 01:33:34,068
She thought he was going
to marry Caroline.

1549
01:33:34,072 --> 01:33:36,020
She couldn't let it happen.

1550
01:33:36,024 --> 01:33:38,080
Very devoted mother.

1551
01:33:38,084 --> 01:33:40,092
See all the photographs Troy?

1552
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,060
Unfortunately she carried
her devotion

1553
01:33:43,064 --> 01:33:46,044
a little too far.

1554
01:33:46,052 --> 01:33:48,024
She poisoned Rosemary Furman
and herself?

1555
01:33:48,028 --> 01:33:49,092
Yes.

1556
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,056
But I had no idea that Samantha
Johnstone had been chosen

1557
01:33:52,064 --> 01:33:54,080
to be a judge.
If she had, she's never have shown

1558
01:33:54,084 --> 01:33:56,048
her face on the green.

1559
01:33:56,056 --> 01:33:59,060
Must have been a great shock when she
saw Samantha getting off the bus.

1560
01:34:02,096 --> 01:34:04,088
Mrs. Furman?
Yes?

1561
01:34:04,096 --> 01:34:06,044
As head of the Midsomer Mallow
Committee,

1562
01:34:06,052 --> 01:34:09,092
I'd like to welcome you and your
fellow judges to Midsomer Mallow.

1563
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,016
As you can see -
Excuse me.

1564
01:34:12,020 --> 01:34:14,000
What is it Mrs Devere?

1565
01:34:14,008 --> 01:34:15,096
I thought I saw
someone take something.

1566
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,048
She was improvising.

1567
01:34:19,056 --> 01:34:22,000
All she knew was that she had to get
away from Samantha

1568
01:34:22,004 --> 01:34:23,068
before she was recognised.

1569
01:34:23,076 --> 01:34:26,020
Before Samantha actually greeted her
by her real name.

1570
01:34:26,028 --> 01:34:28,088
I didn't know anything about
Samantha Johnstone.

1571
01:34:28,096 --> 01:34:31,064
I didn't know it was
going to happen.

1572
01:34:31,068 --> 01:34:33,040
I believe you.

1573
01:34:33,048 --> 01:34:37,048
But Bella had decided then and there
that Samantha had to die.

1574
01:34:37,052 --> 01:34:40,076
Can you get me another one please?

1575
01:34:40,084 --> 01:34:42,088
It would have been easy for Bella
to go home

1576
01:34:42,096 --> 01:34:45,000
and doctor a bottle of wine
with rat poison,

1577
01:34:45,008 --> 01:34:48,040
while the judges were being shown
around the village.

1578
01:34:48,044 --> 01:34:50,012
Then, all she had to do was wait.

1579
01:34:50,020 --> 01:34:53,044
That lady over there,
she wants another drink.

1580
01:35:02,056 --> 01:35:05,020
While the little boy carried the
glass to Samantha,

1581
01:35:05,028 --> 01:35:08,056
Bella poured the poison bottle
into the other glasses.

1582
01:35:08,064 --> 01:35:12,068
And then, and then, she took
a little sip herself.

1583
01:35:12,072 --> 01:35:15,044
And that was the clever bit.

1584
01:35:15,048 --> 01:35:17,012
ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS

1585
01:35:19,072 --> 01:35:21,060
(GASPING)

1586
01:35:21,064 --> 01:35:23,020
Bella.

1587
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,088
When she fell,
she smashed all the glasses.

1588
01:35:26,096 --> 01:35:30,004
Yes, she made it look as if she might
have been the intended victim.

1589
01:35:30,012 --> 01:35:32,048
And at the same time,
destroyed the evidence.

1590
01:35:32,056 --> 01:35:35,044
All those broken glasses around,
we'd never be able to tell.

1591
01:35:35,052 --> 01:35:38,032
How much poison there was
or where the poison came from.

1592
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:40,016
But then, Rosemary Furman
drank the wine.

1593
01:35:40,024 --> 01:35:42,004
Thank you so much.
But...

1594
01:35:42,008 --> 01:35:43,076
..that.

1595
01:35:43,084 --> 01:35:47,020
God, that's disgusting.
What is it?

1596
01:35:47,024 --> 01:35:49,020
Her death was an accident.

1597
01:35:49,024 --> 01:35:51,076
So later on, that same afternoon,

1598
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:53,068
Bella caught up with Samantha

1599
01:35:53,072 --> 01:35:55,084
in the hotel.

1600
01:35:59,076 --> 01:36:01,052
I didn't know, you know.

1601
01:36:01,060 --> 01:36:06,004
She was lying upstairs on bed.
I thought she was asleep.

1602
01:36:06,012 --> 01:36:09,024
But you knew she's killed
Peter Drinkwater.

1603
01:36:09,032 --> 01:36:12,000
And you must have known she was
responsible for the poison.

1604
01:36:12,004 --> 01:36:13,064
What were you going to do?

1605
01:36:13,072 --> 01:36:16,004
Stand around and let her wipe out
the entire village?

1606
01:36:16,008 --> 01:36:17,072
No.

1607
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,056
I'd already decided
what I was going to do.

1608
01:36:20,060 --> 01:36:22,088
And I've done it.

1609
01:36:24,020 --> 01:36:26,016
Where is Bella?

1610
01:36:26,020 --> 01:36:28,024
She's upstairs.

1611
01:36:28,028 --> 01:36:30,072
You said she wasn't here.

1612
01:36:30,076 --> 01:36:32,084
She isn't.

1613
01:36:44,036 --> 01:36:46,028
Troy.

1614
01:37:00,024 --> 01:37:03,092
You'd have put her back in the bin,
wouldn't you?

1615
01:37:03,096 --> 01:37:07,044
I couldn't let you do that.

1616
01:37:07,048 --> 01:37:10,056
It would have destroyed her.

1617
01:37:10,060 --> 01:37:13,076
I gave her sleeping pills

1618
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:16,060
and, um...

1619
01:37:16,064 --> 01:37:19,052
..then a pillow, you know.

1620
01:37:19,056 --> 01:37:22,012
Quite painless.

1621
01:37:22,016 --> 01:37:24,048
It was better for her.

1622
01:37:24,052 --> 01:37:27,072
So much better.

1623
01:37:27,076 --> 01:37:30,024
I only wanted her to be happy.

1624
01:37:33,072 --> 01:37:35,088
Oh, it was horrible, Dad.

1625
01:37:35,096 --> 01:37:38,020
Jane Rochelle wasn't killed
in that accident.

1626
01:37:38,024 --> 01:37:40,012
She was just very badly burnt.

1627
01:37:40,016 --> 01:37:42,012
I told you, she was so beautiful.

1628
01:37:42,020 --> 01:37:45,008
There they were, the two of them
living in that house.

1629
01:37:45,016 --> 01:37:48,000
Hiding from the world.
Sad.

1630
01:37:48,008 --> 01:37:50,016
Do you know,
for a while I was certain

1631
01:37:50,024 --> 01:37:52,020
that he was responsible
for the deaths.

1632
01:37:52,024 --> 01:37:54,004
Why?

1633
01:37:54,008 --> 01:37:56,080
Well, actually, it was your fault.

1634
01:37:56,088 --> 01:38:00,040
You said that just before she died
Samantha Johnstone told you

1635
01:38:00,048 --> 01:38:04,032
she'd seen someone she knew
in the street.

1636
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:06,056
Well that's what
I thought she said, yes.

1637
01:38:06,064 --> 01:38:09,012
But Edward Allardice was
the only person in the street.

1638
01:38:09,020 --> 01:38:11,080
That is true but what
she actually said

1639
01:38:11,084 --> 01:38:14,028
was that she'd seen someone she knew

1640
01:38:14,032 --> 01:38:16,040
from the retreat.

1641
01:38:16,044 --> 01:38:18,060
Meaning Sebdon Manor.

1642
01:38:18,068 --> 01:38:21,092
Well the music was very loud, Tom,
and I did say I wasn't sure.

1643
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:23,072
You still mislead me.
Tom!

1644
01:38:23,076 --> 01:38:25,064
I relied on you, Joyce.

1645
01:38:25,068 --> 01:38:27,020
Nobody's perfect.

1646
01:38:27,024 --> 01:38:29,096
Probably just as well.

1647
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:31,084
