OK, that'll do.

00:02:23,056 --> 00:02:25,044
OK.

8
00:02:29,012 --> 00:02:30,060
You'd better get back.

00:02:30,072 --> 00:02:32,000
Hm?

10
00:02:33,068 --> 00:02:36,016

What are you looking for, Joyce?

00:03:56,084 --> 00:03:58,072
My brushes.

25
00:03:58,088 --> 00:04:00,068
Well, isn't that them there?
What?

00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,016
Where?

00:04:02,032 --> 00:04:03,064

Where?

00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,052

Oh, yes.

Oh.

00:04:09,036 --> 00:04:10,072
Are you all right?

32
00:04:10,088 --> 00:04:13,016
Well, it's my first day.
I'm a bit nervous.

33
00:04:13,032 --> 00:04:15,088
Joyce, it's only the Causton
Watercolour Society.

34
00:04:16,004 --> 00:04:18,032
What have you got
to be nervous about? Thanks.

35
00:04:18,044 --> 00:04:20,016
Well, you know what I mean.

36
00:04:20,032 --> 00:04:24,000
Anyway, you're gonna spend a lovely
day in picturesque Midsomer Florey.

37
00:04:24,012 --> 00:04:25,048
Suppose you're going to tell me

38
00:04:25,064 --> 00:04:27,008
there's been some
grizzly murder there?

39
00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:28,056
No, I'm not.

40
00:04:28,072 --> 00:04:30,096
As far as I know, Midsomer Florey
is a haven of tranquillity.

41
00:04:35,056 --> 00:04:40,016
Now then, everybody, this lovely
lady is Joyce, our new member.

42
00:04:40,032 --> 00:04:43,004
So let's do all we can
to make her feel welcome.

43
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,084
And this is Midsomer Florey.

44
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,004
Now, you're probably thinking, "What
is old Barrett Filby up to now, hm?

45
00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:57,024
This gorgeous place has been painted
and photographed to death.

46
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,084
How on earth can we find
a fresh way of looking at it?"

47
00:05:03,072 --> 00:05:05,088
Well, that is the challenge,
my lovelies.

48
00:05:06,004 --> 00:05:10,036
Coming up with your own
unique interpretation.

49
00:05:11,036 --> 00:05:13,052
Mr Pinkney.

50
00:05:13,064 --> 00:05:15,004
Now find yourselves a spot,

51
00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:18,040
and I'll be round to have a word
before you start.

52
00:05:21,076 --> 00:05:24,024
But surely you can see my position.

53
00:05:26,024 --> 00:05:30,052
Ah! Barnaby, isn't it?

54
00:05:30,064 --> 00:05:32,004
Oh, thank God.

55
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:35,008
Perhaps now I can get some sense
out of you.

56
00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:36,032
Major Teal.

57
00:05:37,032 --> 00:05:39,036
The golf club.

58
00:05:40,064 --> 00:05:43,020
You were a guest
at the Jubilee dinner.

59
00:05:43,036 --> 00:05:45,084
Oh, yes.
I remember that well.

60
00:05:46,084 --> 00:05:49,024
So, Major Teal,
what can I do for you?

61
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,072
Er, come in.
Thank you. Thank you.

62
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:53,020
Barrett.

63
00:05:53,036 --> 00:05:57,092
I thought I'd concentrate
on one small area today,

64
00:05:58,004 --> 00:06:00,072
like over there where my house is.

65
00:06:00,088 --> 00:06:02,076
You follow your instincts,
Ann, my darling.

66
00:06:02,092 --> 00:06:06,020
Are we supposed to do
a pencil sketch first?

67
00:06:06,036 --> 00:06:09,000
If that's what turns you on, Alan,
old mate.

68
00:06:09,016 --> 00:06:12,048
Would a 2B pencil be suitable?
Um -

69
00:06:12,064 --> 00:06:15,080
We've decided to
work in gouache today.

70
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,056
Jolly good show, Mrs B.

71
00:06:20,032 --> 00:06:21,080
Hm.

72
00:06:23,012 --> 00:06:25,036
Hello, I'm Tessa Hawksley.

73
00:06:25,048 --> 00:06:26,096
Joyce Barnaby.

74
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:30,012
Coming here was all
Ann Carter's idea, I bet.

75
00:06:30,024 --> 00:06:32,016
So she could show off her house.

76
00:06:32,032 --> 00:06:34,064
It's not gonna be in my painting,
I can tell you that.

77
00:06:34,076 --> 00:06:36,024
Do you live here?

78
00:06:36,036 --> 00:06:38,052
God, no! We couldn't afford it.

79
00:06:40,012 --> 00:06:42,072
So naturally I went to
the woman's aid.

80
00:06:42,084 --> 00:06:44,020
What did she do?

81
00:06:44,036 --> 00:06:47,080
Hurled me to the ground, called me
all the names under the sun

82
00:06:47,092 --> 00:06:49,072
and ran me over.

83
00:06:49,088 --> 00:06:52,064
She ran you over?
Well, she came very close.

84
00:06:52,076 --> 00:06:54,060
It was a damn near thing.

85
00:06:54,072 --> 00:06:56,044
Poor woman!

86
00:06:56,056 --> 00:06:58,016
She was probably in shock.

87
00:06:59,064 --> 00:07:04,068
She was extraordinarily handsome,
as it happens.

88
00:07:04,084 --> 00:07:07,088
Yeah, well, there seems to have a
been a spate of these bag snatches

89
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,072
in the Midsomer villages, Major Teal.

90
00:07:09,088 --> 00:07:12,024
In fact we set up a special operation
to deal with it.

91
00:07:12,036 --> 00:07:14,084
Operation Pondlife.

92
00:07:14,096 --> 00:07:16,056
In you go.

93
00:07:18,036 --> 00:07:22,008
And this is Sergeant Troy, who's
in charge of Operation Pondlife.

94
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:24,032
Major Teal, Sergeant Troy.

95
00:07:24,048 --> 00:07:28,012
Major Teal witnessed
a bag-snatching yesterday.

96
00:07:28,024 --> 00:07:30,052
Sir, I've got all this paperwork.

97
00:07:30,068 --> 00:07:32,032
Take a statement from him, please.
But -

98
00:07:32,044 --> 00:07:34,016
A detailed statement.

99
00:07:34,032 --> 00:07:37,020
Now, if you'll excuse me, Major Teal,
got a business meeting to attend.

100
00:07:37,032 --> 00:07:38,068
Of course.

101
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,048
Surely you're too young
to be a sergeant.

102
00:07:46,012 --> 00:07:49,044
They're making my husband
take early retirement, you see.

103
00:07:49,056 --> 00:07:50,092
What does he do?

104
00:07:51,008 --> 00:07:53,012
Colin's the manager
of the local bank.

105
00:07:53,028 --> 00:07:55,096
Oh!
They're closing it down, of course.

106
00:07:56,008 --> 00:07:58,004
It's going to be a wine bar.

107
00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:01,028
Quite appropriate, really,
seeing as Colin's taken to drink.

108
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,088
Oh. Oh, dear.

109
00:08:03,004 --> 00:08:05,012
Does yours?
Does my what?

110
00:08:05,024 --> 00:08:07,048
Does your husband drink?

111
00:08:07,060 --> 00:08:09,040
Well, er, no. He -

112
00:08:09,052 --> 00:08:11,056
Most of them do, you know.

113
00:08:11,072 --> 00:08:13,096
It's the only pleasure left
to men of a certain age.

114
00:08:15,056 --> 00:08:19,008
Well, I'm going to park myself here.
Nice talking to you, Joyce.

Oh! You made me jump!

00:08:34,044 --> 00:08:35,084
That's my place.
Sorry?

118
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,052
I've been working in this exact spot
for six months.

119
00:08:38,068 --> 00:08:42,000
Well, I'll find somewhere else.
Make sure it's well away from me.

120
00:08:42,016 --> 00:08:44,028
I don't want you
breathing down my neck.

122
00:08:48,024 --> 00:08:50,048
What did Major Teal
have to say, then?

123
00:08:50,064 --> 00:08:53,036
Sounds like it was the same
as the others.

124
00:08:54,072 --> 00:08:57,024
(SIGHS) The scooter was stolen
in Causton.

125
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,064
One hour later they grab this
woman's bag in Midsomer Florey.

126
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,020
According to Teal, anyway.
What do you mean, according to Teal?

127
00:09:03,032 --> 00:09:05,060
Well, the woman, whoever she was,

128
00:09:05,072 --> 00:09:07,032
hasn't reported the theft.

129
00:09:07,048 --> 00:09:10,000
Which seems pretty odd, considering
she was also assaulted,

130
00:09:10,012 --> 00:09:11,048
according to Teal.

131
00:09:11,060 --> 00:09:14,012
Will you stop saying that?

132
00:09:14,028 --> 00:09:16,056
Did he get the woman's
registration number? No.

133
00:09:16,072 --> 00:09:20,012
He was too busy lying in the middle
of the road, admiring her ankles.

134
00:09:20,028 --> 00:09:23,040
Troy, I hope you are taking
Operation Pondlife seriously.

135
00:09:23,056 --> 00:09:27,004
Oh, sir, a kid snatching handbags
isn't really our job, is it?

136
00:09:27,016 --> 00:09:28,056
Yes, it is.

137
00:09:28,072 --> 00:09:32,004
Street crime of this kind erodes
people's confidence in us.

138
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:34,072
So it is important.

Oh, never mind that, my lovely.

Um, you've got to loosen up
your drawing.

144
00:10:19,084 --> 00:10:21,076
Look.

145
00:10:21,088 --> 00:10:23,028
Hold the pencil...

146
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:26,080
..nearer the end, like this.

147
00:10:26,096 --> 00:10:29,084
Now relax your wrist.
That's it.

148
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,072
Let the pencil guide you,
not the other way round.

For a walk.

Oh, nowhere in particular,

00:11:19,048 --> 00:11:20,096
Super. Can't wait.

163
00:11:21,012 --> 00:11:24,056
And what is that supposed to be?
It's the house, darling.

What house?

Well, tell him, Barrett.
Yes.

00:12:09,064 --> 00:12:11,000
So?

179
00:12:11,016 --> 00:12:14,036
Look, the local police
are thick as two short planks.

180
00:12:14,052 --> 00:12:16,048
They're not gonna worry
about the photos.

181
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:19,020
What else was in that bag?

182
00:12:19,036 --> 00:12:23,048
The camera and the binoculars
and the strongroom receipt.

183
00:12:23,060 --> 00:12:24,096
(GRUNTS)

184
00:12:25,012 --> 00:12:26,096
Well, the muggers, they're not gonna
worry about the receipt.

185
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:28,068
They're gonna keep the camera
and binoculars,

186
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,036
then just chuck the bag away.

187
00:12:30,052 --> 00:12:33,044
Look, it might already
have been handed in.

188
00:12:34,064 --> 00:12:36,080
You have got to report it.

189
00:12:37,084 --> 00:12:40,000
Are you sure?

190
00:12:40,012 --> 00:12:41,048
Yeah.

191
00:12:43,028 --> 00:12:45,052
Yes, I'm sure.

192
00:12:48,036 --> 00:12:50,028
Have you had that looked at?

193
00:12:53,064 --> 00:12:56,012
You'd better get back to
domestic bliss

194
00:12:56,024 --> 00:12:59,040
before Ann sends out a search party.

195
00:12:59,056 --> 00:13:01,040
Just get the bloody receipt back,
Linda.

196
00:13:03,004 --> 00:13:05,024
I'm doing this for us, Tony.

197
00:13:06,088 --> 00:13:08,080
I hope that hasn't slipped your mind.

198
00:13:10,008 --> 00:13:11,072
Yeah, everything's gonna be fine.

199
00:13:13,020 --> 00:13:14,088
Trust me.

200
00:13:15,088 --> 00:13:17,064
I love you, don't I?

201
00:13:30,096 --> 00:13:32,076
Ah, morning, Tony.

202
00:13:32,088 --> 00:13:34,024
Lovely day.

203
00:13:34,036 --> 00:13:35,084
If you say so.

204
00:13:40,004 --> 00:13:41,052
We're breaking for lunch now, Joyce.

205
00:13:41,068 --> 00:13:43,088
Perhaps you'll join us
in the Cock and Rabbit.

206
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,056
I'll be along in a minute.

207
00:13:45,072 --> 00:13:47,040
They do a very fair
ploughman's lunch.

208
00:13:47,052 --> 00:13:48,088
Lovely.

Oh, my God!

211
00:15:40,076 --> 00:15:43,044
You sure you'll be all right?
Yes, of course I will.

212
00:15:43,056 --> 00:15:45,052
Sir, can I have a word?

213
00:15:45,068 --> 00:15:48,020
Sorry, Mrs Barnaby.
Oh, go. You've both got work to do.

214
00:15:48,036 --> 00:15:50,000
I'll be fine.
Don't worry. I'll look after her.

215
00:15:50,012 --> 00:15:51,048
Thank you.

216
00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:52,096
Ta.

217
00:15:53,012 --> 00:15:54,056
Already turned up someone
with a record, sir.

218
00:15:54,072 --> 00:15:57,036
Who?
Barrett Filby, the artist chap.

219
00:15:57,048 --> 00:15:59,048
Did eight months. Told me himself.

220
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,016
He's terrified it'll get out
and ruin his reputation.

221
00:16:03,032 --> 00:16:07,008
What was the offence?
Knocking out Constables.

222
00:16:07,024 --> 00:16:10,016
Sorry, Troy?
John Constable, the painter.

223
00:16:11,016 --> 00:16:13,084
Filby was turning out ten a day
in his garden shed.

224
00:16:14,084 --> 00:16:16,048
Here, sir.
Ta.

225
00:16:21,028 --> 00:16:22,076
Tom.

226
00:16:26,008 --> 00:16:27,096
Only just noticed it.

227
00:16:31,056 --> 00:16:33,060
Looks like one of her brushes.

228
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:35,084
Must have had it in her hand
when she was attacked.

229
00:16:35,096 --> 00:16:38,068
Nylon. No. 9.

230
00:16:41,092 --> 00:16:43,016
And George?

231
00:16:43,032 --> 00:16:45,044
Stab wound in the back
by the look of it, Tom.

232
00:16:45,060 --> 00:16:47,064
Shan't know any more
till I get her on the slab.

233
00:16:48,068 --> 00:16:51,044
Let me know when you find anything.
Will do.

234
00:16:52,048 --> 00:16:54,016
Have you got anything on her?

235
00:16:54,028 --> 00:16:56,024
Her name's Ruth Fairfax, sir.

236
00:16:56,036 --> 00:16:57,072
Bit of a mystery woman.

237
00:16:57,088 --> 00:17:00,028
She moved into the village about
six months ago, rented a flat,

238
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,064
kept herself to herself.

239
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,088
No family or friends
that anyone knows about.

240
00:17:05,004 --> 00:17:08,024
She came down here every day
to paint, rain or shine.

241
00:17:09,024 --> 00:17:11,008
Well, let's go look at the flat,

242
00:17:11,024 --> 00:17:14,064
see if we can discover something more
about Miss Fairfax.

Who'd want to harm
a nice old lady like that?

247
00:17:41,004 --> 00:17:42,072
What's going on, Tony?

248
00:17:42,088 --> 00:17:46,012
Well, there's some nutter
on the loose, I suppose.

249
00:17:47,076 --> 00:17:49,024
I mean with you.

250
00:17:50,024 --> 00:17:53,024
You're up to something, Tony,
and I want to know -

There's something I want to show you
in the garden, dear.

00:18:03,032 --> 00:18:04,080
No!

254
00:18:04,096 --> 00:18:09,032
Don't ever, ever discuss our private
affairs in the house.

255
00:18:09,044 --> 00:18:10,084
You know what I think, Tony?

256
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,004
I think you made it up
about the house being bugged

257
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:15,000
so you don't have to
tell me anything.

258
00:18:15,012 --> 00:18:16,088
Of course it's bugged!

259
00:18:17,004 --> 00:18:18,088
The police are watching us
all the time.

260
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,068
It's for our own safety, Tony.

261
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,092
In case any of your old friends
find out where we are.

262
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,084
Oh, I've had four years
of looking over my shoulder

263
00:18:31,096 --> 00:18:33,040
every minute of the day.

264
00:18:33,056 --> 00:18:35,096
It's starting to get to me,
that's all.

265
00:18:38,008 --> 00:18:40,028
Is there something you're not
telling me?

266
00:18:41,032 --> 00:18:42,080
Like what?

267
00:18:42,096 --> 00:18:45,056
The past few weeks,
you've been like a caged animal.

268
00:18:47,008 --> 00:18:50,096
You'd better not be planning
to run out on me, Tony Carter.

269
00:18:51,008 --> 00:18:53,068
Why would I do that?

270
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,072
I love you, don't I?

271
00:18:57,016 --> 00:18:59,048
Everything's gonna be fine.

Afternoon to you. I'm Detective Chief

This is Detective Sergeant Troy.

277
00:19:17,060 --> 00:19:20,012
I suppose this is about
poor Ruth Fairfax.

278
00:19:21,032 --> 00:19:23,024
Did she talk about her family?

279
00:19:23,036 --> 00:19:25,004
No, she never wanted to chat.

280
00:19:25,016 --> 00:19:26,052
Thank God.

281
00:19:26,068 --> 00:19:28,092
I've got enough to do without
standing around gossiping all day.

282
00:19:29,008 --> 00:19:30,092
Did she have any friends
in the village?

283
00:19:31,008 --> 00:19:33,096
Not that I know of.
Kept herself to herself.

284
00:19:34,008 --> 00:19:35,084
Very polite, mind you.

285
00:19:35,096 --> 00:19:37,036
Most of the time.

286
00:19:37,048 --> 00:19:39,000
Most of the time?

287
00:19:39,016 --> 00:19:41,056
Well, there was a bit of a to-do
last week.

288
00:19:41,068 --> 00:19:43,032
What kind of a to-do?

289
00:19:43,048 --> 00:19:46,004
A pipe under her bedroom basin
was leaking,

290
00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:48,008
so I had Mike Wetherby
in to sort it out.

291
00:19:48,024 --> 00:19:50,096
Mike Wetherby?
He's the local handyman.

292
00:19:51,012 --> 00:19:54,088
Anyway, Miss Fairfax came back early
from her painting,

293
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,036
found Mike in her bedroom

294
00:19:56,052 --> 00:19:59,008
and fairly let fly at him.
Why?

295
00:19:59,024 --> 00:20:02,064
She accused him of going through
her things or something.

296
00:20:02,076 --> 00:20:04,076
Well, thank you, Mrs Metcalfe.

297
00:20:04,092 --> 00:20:07,048

was an art lover, sir.

Ah, good.

Once you know, it's obvious.

What do you mean, once you know?
Observe.

And observe this.

323
00:22:04,036 --> 00:22:07,096
I believe that's what's known as
a fat suit in theatrical circles.

324
00:22:09,072 --> 00:22:11,068
And that's theatrical make-up,
isn't it?

And plain glass in the specs,
I think.

328
00:22:24,096 --> 00:22:28,040
So the deceased isn't a short,
dumpy old lady

00:22:28,052 --> 00:22:30,016
who needs support socks.

00:22:30,032 --> 00:22:32,080
She's a fit, attractive 30-something
with a flair for disguise.

00:22:32,092 --> 00:22:35,024
What about cause of death?

As I said, there appears to be
a stab wound in the back.

00:22:38,028 --> 00:22:40,040
Haven't had a proper look at it.

334
00:22:40,056 --> 00:22:42,040
I wanted you to see her with her
disguise first.

00:22:42,056 --> 00:22:44,056
Come back tomorrow
and I'll have a better idea.

A carpenter's chisel,
covered in blood.

Where did you find it?

345
00:23:16,068 --> 00:23:18,076
No. We've drawn a blank so far.

346
00:23:18,092 --> 00:23:21,028
One minute she was sitting
at her easel painting away,

347
00:23:21,044 --> 00:23:24,008
the next, Mrs Barnaby found her
in the bushes.

348
00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:25,056
Where is Mrs Barnaby?

349
00:23:25,072 --> 00:23:28,032
She's been taken home by one of
the Watercolour Society people,

00:23:28,044 --> 00:23:30,020
a Mrs Hawksley.

00:23:34,012 --> 00:23:35,092
was more of a mystery lady
than we realised.

354
00:23:36,004 --> 00:23:37,044
How do you mean, sir?

355
00:23:37,056 --> 00:23:39,036
She was a young woman of 30

356
00:23:39,052 --> 00:23:42,004
expertly disguised
as someone twice her age.

357
00:23:42,016 --> 00:23:43,052
What?

358
00:23:43,068 --> 00:23:45,084
I'll get back to the mortuary
first thing tomorrow morning,

359
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,036
see what George Bullard
can tell us about that chisel.

360
00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:51,052
And you, you go back to Ruth
Fairfax's flat,

361
00:23:51,064 --> 00:23:53,032
take another look round.

362
00:23:53,044 --> 00:23:54,092
See if you can find something,

363
00:23:55,008 --> 00:23:57,028
anything that might tell us
what she was up to.

364
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,076
Sir.

365
00:23:58,092 --> 00:24:00,044
What about the handyman,
Mike Wetherby?

366
00:24:00,060 --> 00:24:03,012
Oh, I'm gonna talk to him now.
He's in the pub.

367
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:05,008
Apparently it's his second home.

368
00:24:06,008 --> 00:24:09,032
Now, tomorrow, I want all the
witnesses back here on the green.

369
00:24:09,048 --> 00:24:12,084
We'll reconstruct all their movements
down to the last detail.

370
00:24:12,096 --> 00:24:14,032
Sir.

371
00:24:14,044 --> 00:24:16,016
Somebody must have seen something.

372
00:24:18,008 --> 00:24:21,048
Then Colin was moved to the branch
in Midsomer Florey.

373
00:24:21,064 --> 00:24:25,092
Being sent to a backwater like that
was a terrible blow to his pride.

374
00:24:26,004 --> 00:24:28,044
That's when the drinking started.

375
00:24:28,060 --> 00:24:31,076
By that time, the marriage
was pretty well over already.

376
00:24:31,092 --> 00:24:36,052
Well, the more intimate side of it,
if you get my meaning.

377
00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:40,068
Men of a certain age, well,
alcohol just kills that off.

378
00:24:40,084 --> 00:24:43,036
DOOR OPENS
Oh, good! There's Tom.

379
00:24:43,048 --> 00:24:44,084
Joyce!

380
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,020
Joyce, are you all right?
I'm fine.

381
00:24:49,052 --> 00:24:52,060
Mrs Hawksley's been marvellous.

382
00:24:52,076 --> 00:24:55,008
There's some tea in the pot,
if you'd like some.

383
00:24:55,024 --> 00:24:59,000
Oh, good God, no. I need a drink.
Anyone join me?

384
00:24:59,012 --> 00:25:00,072
It's far too early for me.

385
00:25:00,088 --> 00:25:03,020
Tessa's husband is the manager
of the Shires bank

386
00:25:03,032 --> 00:25:04,068
at Midsomer Florey.

387
00:25:04,084 --> 00:25:06,068
Really?
Not for much longer.

388
00:25:06,084 --> 00:25:09,020
It's being turned into a wine bar
called the Overdraft.

389
00:25:09,032 --> 00:25:10,052
(CHUCKLES)

390
00:25:10,068 --> 00:25:13,012
I suppose that passes for humour
in the catering business.

391
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,004
We're asking you back to the scene of
the crime tomorrow, Mrs Hawksley.

392
00:25:18,020 --> 00:25:20,060
Just to double-check the sequence
of events.

393
00:25:20,076 --> 00:25:23,080
That's all right. We'll be back
there anyway, painting away.

394
00:25:23,092 --> 00:25:25,044
We're doing it for charity,

395
00:25:25,060 --> 00:25:28,072
so Barrett Filby
wants us to soldier on.

396
00:25:28,088 --> 00:25:31,020
Well, we'll try to take up
not too much of your time.

397
00:25:32,048 --> 00:25:33,096
Oh.

398
00:25:35,056 --> 00:25:38,024
Colin's volunteered
to do the auction.

399
00:25:38,036 --> 00:25:39,080
I'm dreading it.

400
00:25:39,096 --> 00:25:42,084
He'll get tight
and make an ass of himself.

401
00:25:42,096 --> 00:25:44,032
As usual.

402
00:25:44,048 --> 00:25:47,024
Well, nice to have met you,
Chief Inspector.

403
00:25:47,036 --> 00:25:48,088
Despite the circumstances.

404
00:25:49,004 --> 00:25:51,044
And you.
Thank you for looking after Joyce.

405
00:25:51,056 --> 00:25:52,092
Oh!

406
00:25:57,012 --> 00:25:59,072
I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
Thanks again.

DOOR CLOSES

408
00:26:02,076 --> 00:26:04,044
I thought she'd never go.

409
00:26:05,068 --> 00:26:08,024
Um, are you sure you want
another drink?

410
00:26:08,036 --> 00:26:09,072
Yes, why?

411
00:26:21,060 --> 00:26:23,020
George.

412
00:26:23,036 --> 00:26:25,032
Good morning, Tom!
What can I do for you?

413
00:26:25,044 --> 00:26:26,088
Morning to you.

414
00:26:27,004 --> 00:26:29,024
You were gonna give me some more
on Ruth Fairfax.

415
00:26:29,036 --> 00:26:30,092
She's gone.

416
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,004
What do you mean, she's gone?

417
00:26:34,020 --> 00:26:36,072
She was moved first thing,
didn't you know?

418
00:26:36,084 --> 00:26:39,000
No, no, I did not know.

419
00:26:39,012 --> 00:26:41,052
Who moved her?

420
00:26:41,068 --> 00:26:45,068
The investigating officer is,
let me see...

421
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,080
Detective Inspector Mark Gudgeon.

422
00:26:47,096 --> 00:26:51,040
I'm the investigating officer.
Not according to this.

423
00:26:51,056 --> 00:26:54,036
The paperwork was all in order,
and I had a call from on high.

424
00:26:54,048 --> 00:26:55,092
Very on high, Tom.

425
00:26:56,008 --> 00:26:59,000
But who is Mark Gudgeon?
I've never heard of the feller.

Where have they taken her?

427
00:27:00,064 --> 00:27:02,096
I've no idea.
It was all very hush-hush.

428
00:27:03,008 --> 00:27:05,016
Bullard.

429
00:27:06,016 --> 00:27:07,072
Yes, I'll tell him.

430
00:27:09,008 --> 00:27:10,056
That was Sergeant Troy.

431
00:27:10,072 --> 00:27:12,052
Wants you to go round
to Ruth Fairfax's flat.

432
00:27:12,064 --> 00:27:14,064
Says it's urgent.

00:27:23,024 --> 00:27:24,060
You're not gonna believe this.

436
00:27:26,060 --> 00:27:28,008
And the bedroom?

437
00:27:29,008 --> 00:27:30,056
The same, sir.

438
00:27:30,068 --> 00:27:32,060
Not a trace of Ruth Fairfax left.

439
00:27:32,076 --> 00:27:35,052
I didn't know what to do.
It's OK, Mrs Metcalfe.

440
00:27:35,064 --> 00:27:37,028
It's not your fault.

441
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,076
Who was it?

442
00:27:38,088 --> 00:27:43,012
Um, a DS Noland and a DC Backley.

443
00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:45,048

of Detective Inspector Mark -

Gudgeon?

445
00:27:47,016 --> 00:27:48,092
Yes, sir. Gudgeon.

446
00:27:51,032 --> 00:27:53,084
I think we'd better
go back to the station, Troy.

447
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,096
Find out exactly
what is going on here.

448

And stop worrying about getting
every flipping detail right,

because you're going to load up your
brushes with tons of gorgeous colour

00:29:15,012 --> 00:29:16,040
Why not?

468
00:29:16,056 --> 00:29:23,048
The fact that my wife is a possible
witness might, um, compromise me.

469
00:29:23,060 --> 00:29:25,068
Well, he's got a point there.

470
00:29:25,084 --> 00:29:28,044
Not that you would allow it to,
of course, sir.

Well, you, you are still
on the case, Troy.

00:29:51,048 --> 00:29:56,040
You have to report to a Detective
Sergeant Noland in Midsomer Florey.

00:29:56,052 --> 00:29:59,032
You mean, I'm working with the NIS?

00:29:59,048 --> 00:30:01,072
Well, you'll be liaising with them,
yeah.

00:30:04,020 --> 00:30:06,092
Of course, I'd much rather be
working with you, sir.

Don't worry, Troy.
It's a great opportunity.

I'm looking for Sergeant Troy.

00:30:25,008 --> 00:30:26,056
Oh, that's me.

489
00:30:26,072 --> 00:30:30,088
I'd, um, I'd like to report
a bag-snatching.

490
00:30:32,012 --> 00:30:34,000
Ah. The thing is...

491
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,048
The thing is,

492
00:30:36,064 --> 00:30:38,088
I suppose I ought to be getting back
to Midsomer Florey, sir.

493
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,036
To liaise.

494
00:30:40,048 --> 00:30:42,012
Yes, so you should, Troy.

495
00:30:42,024 --> 00:30:43,092
You go and, er, liaise.

496
00:30:56,084 --> 00:30:58,032
Oh, I'm sorry.

497
00:30:59,088 --> 00:31:02,096
Please, sit you down.

00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,088
Yes!

499
00:31:06,088 --> 00:31:10,044
And then one of them hit me in
the face, so I let go of the bag.

500
00:31:10,060 --> 00:31:12,004
There was a witness to that,
wasn't there?

501
00:31:12,016 --> 00:31:13,052
Was there?

502
00:31:13,068 --> 00:31:16,044
Yes, an elderly gentleman.
He says he tried to help you.

503
00:31:16,056 --> 00:31:17,092
(CHUCKLES)

504
00:31:18,008 --> 00:31:21,008
But you just pushed him
out of the way and drove off.

505
00:31:21,020 --> 00:31:24,084
Um, I don't remember.

506
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,012
I...I was frightened and dizzy
from the attack.

507
00:31:28,028 --> 00:31:31,056
That probably explains why you didn't
report the robbery sooner, yeah?

508
00:31:31,068 --> 00:31:33,004
Yes.

509
00:31:33,020 --> 00:31:35,064
I was in a terrible state,
I thought I might be concussed.

510
00:31:35,076 --> 00:31:37,016
Hm. See the doctor?

511
00:31:38,016 --> 00:31:42,012
No, not straight away.
I went home.

512
00:31:42,028 --> 00:31:44,092
I was in shock,
I just wanted to lie down.

513
00:31:45,004 --> 00:31:46,056
Then did you see the doctor?

514
00:31:46,072 --> 00:31:50,016
No, I felt a bit better after a
rest, so in the end I didn't bother.

515
00:31:51,044 --> 00:31:53,000
'Course, I understand.

516
00:31:53,012 --> 00:31:57,044
Um, what was in the bag, Mrs Tyrell?

517
00:31:57,060 --> 00:32:00,036
There were some papers from my bank,
which are important.

518
00:32:00,052 --> 00:32:03,012

519
00:32:03,028 --> 00:32:06,004
Oh, the usual.
Some statements and letters.

Strongroom receipt?

00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:13,016
Anything else?
No, not really.

523
00:32:13,032 --> 00:32:15,020
Oh, a camera.
What sort of camera?

524
00:32:15,032 --> 00:32:16,068
A Polaroid.

525
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:19,020
And some binoculars.

526
00:32:19,032 --> 00:32:22,048
Polaroid camera and binoculars?

527
00:32:24,044 --> 00:32:26,048
I'm house-hunting.
They come in very useful.

528
00:32:26,060 --> 00:32:28,012
Oh, I see.

529
00:32:28,028 --> 00:32:30,092
That's what you were doing up by the
wood, was it? Hunting for houses?

530
00:32:31,004 --> 00:32:35,012
Yes. Well...well, not exactly, no.

531
00:32:35,028 --> 00:32:38,004
I stopped to get a map
out of the boot and...

532
00:32:41,008 --> 00:32:46,048
Look, I don't care about the camera
and the binoculars,

533
00:32:46,060 --> 00:32:48,008
but the papers are important.

534
00:32:48,024 --> 00:32:51,088
Maybe someone's found the bag
and handed it in.

535
00:32:52,004 --> 00:32:54,060
Well, it won't take long to find out,
will it, Mrs Tyrell?

536
00:32:56,008 --> 00:32:58,076
It's a lovely part of the world.
Where?

537
00:32:58,092 --> 00:33:02,040
Round Midsomer Florey.
I wouldn't know.

538
00:33:02,052 --> 00:33:04,020
Stolen Property, please.

539
00:33:06,064 --> 00:33:09,092
I assumed that's why you were
house-hunting in the area.

540
00:33:36,008 --> 00:33:38,064
BELLS CHIME

541
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,044
Colin, are you going to get out of
the car?

542
00:33:45,048 --> 00:33:49,032
It's this, um, damned flu.

543
00:33:49,044 --> 00:33:51,096
I can't seem to shake it off.

544
00:33:52,096 --> 00:33:55,080
I'm sure you've got some nice
medicine hidden away in the bank.

545
00:34:07,036 --> 00:34:09,052
DOOR RELEASE BUZZES

546
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,020
BOTH: Good morning, Mr Hawksley!

547
00:34:13,032 --> 00:34:14,068
Morning!

548
00:34:19,012 --> 00:34:20,060
Mrs Partridge,

549
00:34:20,076 --> 00:34:24,040
I shall be working downstairs
in the strongroom this morning.

550
00:34:24,056 --> 00:34:28,020
Do not disturb me
unless absolutely necessary.

551
00:34:28,032 --> 00:34:30,012
Yes, Mr Hawksley.

552
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,028
Thank you.

553
00:34:35,020 --> 00:34:37,032
DOOR RELEASE BUZZES

554
00:36:10,020 --> 00:36:12,092
Now then, how's my favourite
student getting on?

555
00:36:13,008 --> 00:36:17,056
Oh, well, I'm quite pleased with
some of my washes, Barrett.

556
00:36:17,068 --> 00:36:19,068
I'm not surprised.

557
00:36:19,084 --> 00:36:21,092
Look at all this gorgeous,
gorgeous brushwork!

558
00:36:23,064 --> 00:36:26,084
I could eat it up!
(GIGGLES) Could you, Barrett?

559
00:36:35,032 --> 00:36:40,068
So tell me, what...
what's this DI Mark Gudgeon like?

560
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,044
He didn't show up.

561
00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:45,008
We were interviewed by a DS
and a DC.

562
00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:47,080
Did they stage a reconstruction?

563
00:36:47,096 --> 00:36:52,024
No, they just asked
a lot of questions.

564
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,012
The person they were most interested
in was this handyman chap.

565
00:36:56,028 --> 00:36:58,044
Mike Wetherby?
Yes.

566
00:36:58,060 --> 00:37:00,056
He's a bit of a boozer,
according to the locals.

567
00:37:00,068 --> 00:37:02,016
That's what Troy said, yeah.

568
00:37:02,028 --> 00:37:03,064
The irony is,

569
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,004
he's the one person whose movements
I can be pretty sure of.

570
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:09,032
Why's that?
Because of my drawing.

571
00:37:16,072 --> 00:37:18,020
Here.

572
00:37:19,056 --> 00:37:22,072
That's Mike Wetherby,
working on the Carters' house.

573
00:37:22,088 --> 00:37:25,020
Was he there all morning?
Yes.

574
00:37:27,028 --> 00:37:31,040
And you were doing this right up to
the time you found Ruth Fairfax?

575
00:37:31,056 --> 00:37:34,084
Yeah. The last thing I did
was draw the hands on the clock.

576
00:37:34,096 --> 00:37:36,052
Look, says 20-to-one.

577
00:37:36,064 --> 00:37:38,052
And I checked it with my watch.

578
00:37:38,064 --> 00:37:40,032
Hardly enough time for Mike Wetherby

579
00:37:40,048 --> 00:37:43,036
to get across the green, kill her,
then get back up his ladder, is it?

580
00:37:43,052 --> 00:37:45,032
You told them this?
Yes.

581
00:37:45,044 --> 00:37:47,040
But I'd left the drawing here.

582
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,080
Well, you take it in tomorrow,
show them.

583
00:37:50,096 --> 00:37:53,056
And, er, Joyce,
will you keep your eyes open,

584
00:37:53,068 --> 00:37:55,004
tell me what's going on?

585
00:37:55,020 --> 00:37:57,028
I hope you're not
going to interfere, Tom.

586
00:37:57,044 --> 00:37:59,024
Interfere?
Of course I'm not going to interfere.

587
00:38:21,012 --> 00:38:22,080
Good morning, Troy.

588
00:38:22,096 --> 00:38:25,040
How's it going?
Great, sir.

589
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,000
Doing a house-to-house?
Deep background, actually.

590
00:38:30,016 --> 00:38:33,048
Deep background.
And what might that be?

591
00:38:34,084 --> 00:38:37,000
Sorry, sir, I'm not supposed to
discuss the investigation

592
00:38:37,012 --> 00:38:39,012
with anyone outside the team.

593
00:38:39,024 --> 00:38:40,080
Oh, I see.

594
00:38:40,096 --> 00:38:43,076
What's this DI Mark Gudgeon
like, then?

595
00:38:43,088 --> 00:38:45,092
I haven't met him yet.

596
00:38:46,008 --> 00:38:48,068
The boss has got a lot
on his plate at the moment.

597
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,016
The boss, Troy?

598
00:38:52,012 --> 00:38:54,036
So what are you doing
in Midsomer Florey, sir?

599
00:38:55,036 --> 00:38:58,004
Operation Pondlife, Troy.

600
00:38:58,020 --> 00:39:01,012
Got to do something about these
bag snatchings, haven't we?

601
00:39:06,092 --> 00:39:10,068
Just wanted to make sure we hadn't
missed anything, you know?

602
00:39:13,008 --> 00:39:15,056
What was Mike Wetherby working on
in here then?

603
00:39:15,072 --> 00:39:19,016
A leaking pipe.
There, under the basin.

604
00:39:19,032 --> 00:39:22,000
He had to take out one of the panels
at the back.

605
00:39:36,032 --> 00:39:38,000
Antibiotics.

606
00:39:38,012 --> 00:39:40,096
Belonging to Angela Browning.

607
00:39:43,032 --> 00:39:44,084
Does that name mean anything to you?

608
00:39:44,096 --> 00:39:46,056
No, not a thing.

609
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,096
These were prescribed ten days ago.

610
00:39:52,052 --> 00:39:55,060
Did Ruth Fairfax
have any visitors recently?

611
00:39:55,072 --> 00:39:57,012
No, not recently.

612
00:39:57,024 --> 00:39:58,072
Not ever, in fact.

613
00:39:58,088 --> 00:40:01,048
Are you sure?
Quite sure.

614
00:40:01,064 --> 00:40:04,068
If she'd had visitors, I would've
known about it, believe me.

615
00:40:32,028 --> 00:40:33,076
Ah, Barnaby!

616
00:40:34,076 --> 00:40:38,004
Major Teal, the very man.

617
00:40:38,020 --> 00:40:40,044
Could you spare me a minute, please?
Of course.

618
00:40:40,060 --> 00:40:43,088
Anything to help clear up
this horrible murder.

619
00:40:44,004 --> 00:40:45,072
It's about the mugging
you witnessed, actually.

620
00:40:45,084 --> 00:40:48,012
The victim reported it yesterday.

621
00:40:48,024 --> 00:40:49,060
Ah!

622
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:51,056
Blonde, good-looking.

623
00:40:51,068 --> 00:40:54,032
Rather fine ankles.

624
00:40:54,048 --> 00:40:58,040
Could you tell me, please, exactly
where did the mugging take place?

625
00:40:58,056 --> 00:41:02,060
She was parked in Leverets Lane,
up behind the wood.

626
00:41:02,076 --> 00:41:05,064
Drive through the village
and turn right,

627
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,068
or take the footpath
across the green.

628
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,052
It's a pleasant walk.

629
00:41:29,036 --> 00:41:30,084
Oh!

630
00:41:30,096 --> 00:41:33,000
God, you made me jump!

631
00:41:33,016 --> 00:41:35,084
So what happened?
The bag hasn't been handed in.

632
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,020
Are you sure, Linda?
Yes!

633
00:41:38,032 --> 00:41:40,040
Now let go, you're hurting me.

634
00:41:42,016 --> 00:41:44,032
What is the matter with you?

635
00:41:44,048 --> 00:41:48,008
Nothing. It's just there's...police
crawling all over the village.

636
00:41:48,024 --> 00:41:49,080
Yes, well, that's nothing to do
with us.

637
00:41:49,092 --> 00:41:51,028
How do you know?

638
00:41:51,044 --> 00:41:54,032
That old girl that was knocked off,
there was something funny about her.

639
00:41:54,044 --> 00:41:55,092
What do you mean, funny?

640
00:41:56,008 --> 00:41:59,080
She has been sitting down there on
the village green for six months,

641
00:41:59,096 --> 00:42:03,012
staring at my house.
Tony, Tony, stop it.

642
00:42:03,024 --> 00:42:05,036
I hate it when you're like this.

643
00:42:05,048 --> 00:42:07,020
Somebody is after me, Linda.

644
00:42:07,036 --> 00:42:09,048
It could be one of our lot,
could be the police.

645
00:42:09,064 --> 00:42:11,040
I don't know which shoulder
to look over anymore.

646
00:42:11,056 --> 00:42:15,048
Yes, well, our lot are all safely
tucked up in prison, OK?

647
00:42:31,068 --> 00:42:33,024
That's him.

648
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,048
That's the copper
I reported the mugging to.

649
00:42:36,060 --> 00:42:38,008
That's Barnaby!

650
00:42:38,020 --> 00:42:41,016
You told him about the bag?

651
00:42:41,028 --> 00:42:42,096
So what if I did?

652
00:43:08,064 --> 00:43:11,036
Tony, Tony, what are you doing?

653
00:43:12,076 --> 00:43:14,076
I'm gonna sort him out.

654
00:43:22,096 --> 00:43:25,096
SIREN BLARES

655
00:43:34,064 --> 00:43:36,056
Are you out of your mind?

656
00:43:37,056 --> 00:43:41,044
This is no time to go bashing
policemen on the head!

657
00:43:41,060 --> 00:43:44,080
Did you tell him about
the strongroom receipt?

658
00:43:44,092 --> 00:43:47,016
Of course I did!

659
00:43:47,028 --> 00:43:49,044
You told me to report it!

660
00:43:49,060 --> 00:43:53,016
Not to him!
He is a chief inspector!

661
00:43:53,032 --> 00:43:55,040
And now you've got him
sniffing around us!

662
00:43:55,056 --> 00:43:59,028
Tony, that receipt
belongs to my husband.

663
00:43:59,044 --> 00:44:02,084
Someone hands it in,
the police have got to give it to me.

664
00:44:04,012 --> 00:44:05,084
Well, it had better turn up soon,

665
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,008
because I am that close,
that close to losing it.

666
00:44:11,008 --> 00:44:12,084
MAN: What's going on, huh?

667
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,060
I don't know what it's all about.
I'm just a painter and decorator.

668
00:44:15,076 --> 00:44:19,004
Oh, yes, they charged him
with murder, all right.

669
00:44:19,016 --> 00:44:21,012
I heard them caution him.

670
00:44:21,024 --> 00:44:22,072
What, Mike Wetherby?

671
00:44:22,088 --> 00:44:25,064
Stabbed her in the back
with a chisel!

672
00:44:25,076 --> 00:44:27,064
Well, I'm very surprised.

673
00:44:28,064 --> 00:44:30,012
So am I.

674
00:44:31,012 --> 00:44:34,040
SIREN BLARES

675
00:45:01,088 --> 00:45:04,032
Hello.
You missed all the excitement.

676
00:45:04,044 --> 00:45:05,088
They've arrested Mike Wetherby.

677
00:45:06,004 --> 00:45:08,012
Yeah, I know, I saw him
being driven away.

678
00:45:08,024 --> 00:45:09,068
You shown anyone your drawing?

679
00:45:09,084 --> 00:45:12,056
Yes, first thing this morning.
The Detective Constable.

680
00:45:12,068 --> 00:45:14,004
What did he say?

681
00:45:14,020 --> 00:45:17,036
He said he'd get back to me
when he had a window. A window.

682
00:45:17,052 --> 00:45:20,060
Whatever that means.
It means he's not interested.

683
00:45:20,072 --> 00:45:22,008
Troy here?

684
00:45:22,020 --> 00:45:24,040
I think I saw him go into the pub.

685
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,028
TEAL: Same old story, every day.

686
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,096
MAN: Live in hope, I suppose.

687
00:45:32,012 --> 00:45:33,072
Barnaby, eh?

688
00:45:39,088 --> 00:45:41,036
LAUGHTER

689
00:45:41,052 --> 00:45:43,044
17 days it was.
17.

690
00:45:43,060 --> 00:45:45,024
No, it was 17 days all up.
You're joking!

691
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,012
You don't get that around here,
I tell you.

692
00:45:47,028 --> 00:45:48,076
You should come round.
That'd be great. Brilliant.

693
00:45:48,088 --> 00:45:50,036
Afternoon, gentlemen.

694
00:45:52,060 --> 00:45:54,028
Hello, sir.

695
00:45:55,032 --> 00:45:59,016
This is James Noland, Simon Backley.

696
00:45:59,028 --> 00:46:00,088
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.

697
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,068
Heard a lot about you, sir.

698
00:46:02,084 --> 00:46:04,040
Perhaps I could buy you a drink,
sir?

699
00:46:04,052 --> 00:46:06,036
No, thanks, not at the minute.

700
00:46:06,048 --> 00:46:08,064
Could I have a word, please, Troy?

701
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,004
Oh, sir, how's it going on
Operation, um, what's it called?

702
00:46:13,012 --> 00:46:15,008
Pondlife.
Yeah, that's it. Fine, thank you.

703
00:46:15,020 --> 00:46:16,056
Good show, sir.

704
00:46:16,072 --> 00:46:19,012
Its very important for the
community, that sort of policing.

705
00:46:20,012 --> 00:46:21,096
Yes, yes, it is.

706
00:46:28,004 --> 00:46:30,092
But Joyce was watching Wetherby
all the morning.

707
00:46:31,008 --> 00:46:33,032
She's even got a drawing of him
working on the Carters' house

708
00:46:33,044 --> 00:46:35,060
with the clock showing 20-to-one.

709
00:46:35,076 --> 00:46:38,040
Sir, the murder weapon belongs to
Wetherby, he admitted it.

710
00:46:38,052 --> 00:46:40,060
And his prints are all over it.

711
00:46:40,076 --> 00:46:42,044
They would be if it's his,
wouldn't they?

712
00:46:42,060 --> 00:46:46,012
Troy, someone could have stolen
the chisel from his van.

713
00:46:46,028 --> 00:46:49,020
He's a binge drinker who goes
looking for trouble when he's drunk.

714
00:46:49,036 --> 00:46:52,024
He's spent so many nights in Causton
nick they've named a cell after him.

715
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,020
Yes, drunken scuffles outside
the pub at closing time.

716
00:46:55,036 --> 00:46:57,020
It's a bit different
from killing someone with a chisel

717
00:46:57,032 --> 00:46:58,068
in broad daylight, isn't it?

718
00:46:58,084 --> 00:47:01,036
And he had that big bust-up
with Ruth Fairfax.

719
00:47:01,052 --> 00:47:04,040
Apparently he's been sounding off in
the pub about getting even with her.

720
00:47:04,056 --> 00:47:06,016
It's just pub gossip,
isn't it, Troy?

721
00:47:06,032 --> 00:47:08,084
Please, sir, I'm not supposed to
discuss it with anyone.

722
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,020
Yeah, all right, all right,
I've said my piece.

723
00:47:13,076 --> 00:47:16,052
Joyce, show Troy your drawing.

724
00:47:21,088 --> 00:47:23,048
Oh, that's funny.

725
00:47:23,064 --> 00:47:26,000
What's wrong?
It's gone!

726
00:47:26,012 --> 00:47:27,088
Look.

727
00:47:30,072 --> 00:47:32,072
Are you sure the drawing
was in this sketch book?

728
00:47:32,084 --> 00:47:34,020
Yes, of course.

729
00:47:36,012 --> 00:47:39,020
Sorry, I've got to dash.
Thank you anyway, Mrs Barnaby.

730
00:47:40,096 --> 00:47:44,024
Did you tell anyone else about the
drawing, apart from the police?

731
00:47:44,036 --> 00:47:46,016
I might have told the others.

732
00:47:46,028 --> 00:47:47,048
What others?

733
00:47:47,060 --> 00:47:49,044
The Watercolour Society.

734
00:48:54,084 --> 00:48:56,096
KNOCK AT DOOR
Come!

735
00:48:59,028 --> 00:49:00,092
Ah, Troy. How's it going?

736
00:49:01,004 --> 00:49:02,048
Making good progress.

737
00:49:02,064 --> 00:49:04,044
Noland and Backley are interviewing
Mike Wetherby.

738
00:49:04,060 --> 00:49:06,060
They're going to let me
sit in later.

739
00:49:06,072 --> 00:49:08,008
Lucky you.

740
00:49:08,024 --> 00:49:10,056
How about Detective Inspector
Mark Gudgeon?

741
00:49:10,072 --> 00:49:12,088
You met him yet?
Oh, not yet, sir.

742
00:49:13,004 --> 00:49:15,072
He's sort of overseeing the whole
operation. It's very complex.

743
00:49:15,084 --> 00:49:17,040
Oh, it must be.

744
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,036
Oh, this is just in, sir.

745
00:49:20,052 --> 00:49:23,088
Some kids stole a scooter in Causton
this morning and crashed it.

746
00:49:24,004 --> 00:49:27,000
One of them got away, but the other
one's in hospital with a broken leg.

747
00:49:27,012 --> 00:49:28,076
Could be your bag-snatchers.

748
00:49:28,088 --> 00:49:30,088
Yes, it could, Troy.

749
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,028
Thank you, thank you very much.

750
00:49:33,044 --> 00:49:36,056
This could be the breakthrough
I've been looking for.

751
00:49:36,072 --> 00:49:39,064
Oh, almost forgot.
You'd better take these.

752
00:49:41,044 --> 00:49:42,092
What are they, sir?

753
00:49:43,008 --> 00:49:45,072
Those are Angela Browning's
antibiotics.

754
00:49:45,084 --> 00:49:47,048
I found them in her flat.

755
00:49:47,060 --> 00:49:48,084
Sorry?

756
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,056
Angela Browning -
that's Ruth Fairfax's real name.

757
00:49:52,072 --> 00:49:54,096
Detective Constable Angela Browning,
to be exact.

758
00:49:55,012 --> 00:49:57,040
30 years old, and at the time
of her death

759
00:49:57,056 --> 00:49:59,024
attached to
the National Intelligence Squad.

760
00:50:01,032 --> 00:50:03,048
Didn't your new colleagues
tell you that?

761
00:50:04,068 --> 00:50:06,024
That's odd, isn't it?

762
00:50:08,004 --> 00:50:10,036
Well, I'm off to the hospital.

763
00:50:10,048 --> 00:50:11,088
Thank you for this.

764
00:50:15,016 --> 00:50:17,008
Where were you off to this morning?

765
00:50:17,020 --> 00:50:19,040
Another of your mysterious walks?

766
00:50:19,056 --> 00:50:22,040
I had to get out.
The police were all over the shop.

767
00:50:22,056 --> 00:50:25,012
It's nothing to do with us.
They were after Mike Wetherby.

768
00:50:25,024 --> 00:50:26,060
Good job too!

769
00:50:26,076 --> 00:50:29,052
Had enough of him
hanging about the house every day.

770
00:50:29,064 --> 00:50:31,072
Don't start that nonsense again!

771
00:50:31,084 --> 00:50:34,012
It's this bloody village.

772
00:50:34,028 --> 00:50:36,004
It's not the village,
it's you, Tony.

773
00:50:36,016 --> 00:50:37,052
You're paranoid.

774
00:50:39,096 --> 00:50:42,092
What if we could get out of here,
Ann?

775
00:50:43,008 --> 00:50:45,060
Find somewhere in the sun,
nobody watching us

776
00:50:45,076 --> 00:50:48,064
and live even better?
And how are we going to do that?

777
00:50:48,076 --> 00:50:51,036
Just answer the question.

778
00:50:55,044 --> 00:50:56,092
Oh, Tony.

779
00:50:58,012 --> 00:50:59,064
You haven't found it?

780
00:51:00,072 --> 00:51:02,040
You haven't found the money?

781
00:51:02,052 --> 00:51:05,016
Keep it down, for crying out loud!

782
00:51:06,048 --> 00:51:08,068
I knew you were up to something!

783
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,064
It's not done and dusted yet.

784
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:14,008
We've gotta keep our heads down,
be very, very careful.

785
00:51:14,020 --> 00:51:15,064
This is fantastic!

786
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,040
What did I tell you?
(SNIFFS)

787
00:51:20,068 --> 00:51:22,028
Hold that thought.

788
00:51:31,088 --> 00:51:33,036
Great.

789
00:51:39,044 --> 00:51:43,016
Now, I'm all for a bit of adventure,
you know I am...

790
00:51:44,060 --> 00:51:47,040
..but you're getting a teensy bit
slap-dash, my lovely.

791
00:51:47,052 --> 00:51:51,024
Oh! I'm sorry, Barrett.

792
00:51:51,036 --> 00:51:53,056
It's because I'm so excited.

793
00:51:55,008 --> 00:51:58,000
And what's got you so hot
and bothered, I wonder?

794
00:51:59,032 --> 00:52:01,076
I think he's found it.
What?

795
00:52:03,072 --> 00:52:05,020
Are you sure?

796
00:52:05,032 --> 00:52:07,044
Well, he hasn't got it yet,

797
00:52:07,056 --> 00:52:09,052
but he knows where it is.

798
00:52:09,068 --> 00:52:11,092
What is it you're always
saying to me, Barrett?

799
00:52:12,004 --> 00:52:13,088
Hm? Carpe diem, my lovely.

800
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,096
Seize the day.
Right.

801
00:52:18,012 --> 00:52:20,036
So we'd better be ready.
Yes!

802
00:52:21,076 --> 00:52:24,096
Might I suggest the south of France?

803
00:52:25,012 --> 00:52:27,028
We can follow in the footsteps
of Matisse and Picasso!

804
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,016
To hell with art, Barrett.

805
00:52:29,028 --> 00:52:31,008
I want you all for myself.

806
00:52:31,024 --> 00:52:33,068
And I don't just mean
for painting lessons.

807
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,040
Mm.

808
00:52:41,024 --> 00:52:44,024
MAN WHISTLES

809
00:52:44,036 --> 00:52:47,024
LOUD MUSIC THROUGH HEADPHONES

810
00:52:54,008 --> 00:52:55,056
Who are you?!

811
00:52:55,072 --> 00:52:58,060
I'm Detective Chief Inspector
Barnaby, Jason.

812
00:53:00,020 --> 00:53:02,016
I didn't know the bike was stolen.

813
00:53:02,032 --> 00:53:05,028
Oh, come on, Jason, I'm not here
about a stolen scooter.

814
00:53:06,060 --> 00:53:08,036
You're not?
No, I'm not.

815
00:53:10,056 --> 00:53:14,000
When you snatched that bag
from that woman in that lane,

816
00:53:14,012 --> 00:53:17,004
you made a big mistake, Jason.

817
00:53:17,020 --> 00:53:21,068
Cos you hit her, and that puts you
in a different league.

818
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,016
That is robbery with violence.

819
00:53:27,064 --> 00:53:30,004
You've never been to prison,
have you Jason?

820
00:53:30,016 --> 00:53:31,060
Richie hit her, not me!

821
00:53:31,076 --> 00:53:33,080
She wouldn't let go of the bag,
so he whacked her!

822
00:53:33,096 --> 00:53:36,052
Thank you, Jason,
that's very helpful.

823
00:53:36,064 --> 00:53:38,048
I didn't hit her.

824
00:53:38,064 --> 00:53:40,088
There's one more thing
you can do for me.

825
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,012
That bag you stole,

826
00:53:44,024 --> 00:53:45,088
what did you do with it?

827
00:53:46,088 --> 00:53:51,032
WPC Smith leaves the room.
Interview recommences 16:51.

828
00:53:51,048 --> 00:53:55,096
Mr Wetherby, tell us about the
argument you had with Ruth Fairfax.

829
00:53:56,012 --> 00:53:58,044
Shouldn't my solicitor be here?
He's on his way.

830
00:53:58,060 --> 00:54:01,060
You don't have to answer any
questions if you don't want to.

831
00:54:03,068 --> 00:54:08,072
Look, Mrs Metcalfe let me in the flat
to repair a pipe in the bedroom.

832
00:54:08,088 --> 00:54:11,028
Then Ruth Fairfax turns up
and starts shouting the odds.

833
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,084
What did she say, exactly?

834
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,092
She accused me of being a thief.
Bloody cheek of the woman!

835
00:54:16,004 --> 00:54:17,056
She upset you.

836
00:54:17,068 --> 00:54:19,008
Too right she did.

837
00:54:19,024 --> 00:54:21,008
You were drinking in the Cock
and Rabbit that night.

838
00:54:21,020 --> 00:54:23,040
Witnesses heard you talking about

839
00:54:23,056 --> 00:54:26,024
how you were going to
put Ruth Fairfax right.

840
00:54:26,036 --> 00:54:27,084
What did you mean by that?

841
00:54:29,028 --> 00:54:32,000
Well, I reckoned she owed me
an apology, that's what I meant.

842
00:54:32,012 --> 00:54:33,072
I've been called lots of things,

843
00:54:33,088 --> 00:54:36,040
but I'm not a thief and I'm not
a bloody murderer neither!

844
00:54:36,052 --> 00:54:38,008
Mike.

845
00:54:38,024 --> 00:54:40,008
How long have you been working
at the Carter's house?

846
00:54:40,020 --> 00:54:42,044
Ten days or so.

847
00:54:42,060 --> 00:54:46,004
And you always parked your van
outside the house?

848
00:54:46,020 --> 00:54:48,068
Yeah.
Ever leave it unlocked, Mike?

849
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,028
Probably, yeah.

850
00:54:50,044 --> 00:54:55,020
Interview terminated by DC Backley
at 16:53 hours.

851
00:55:01,012 --> 00:55:04,028
What are you playing at?
I'm worried about the chisel.

852
00:55:04,044 --> 00:55:06,044
If he left the van unlocked,
somebody could have -

853
00:55:06,060 --> 00:55:08,092
You're here as an observer,
Sergeant.

854
00:55:09,008 --> 00:55:12,044
I will not have you undermining
a carefully planned interview.

855
00:55:12,056 --> 00:55:14,016
Now get out!

856
00:55:14,028 --> 00:55:15,064
Please.

857
00:55:26,016 --> 00:55:27,068
DOOR SLAMS

858
00:56:30,096 --> 00:56:32,096
Looking for clues, Barnaby?

859
00:56:53,088 --> 00:56:57,084
This document has the name of this
branch on it, Mr Hawksley.

860
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,088
I was wondering if you're able
to tell me what it is.

861
00:57:02,004 --> 00:57:04,088
Yes, it's a receipt for an item
deposited in our strongroom.

862
00:57:05,004 --> 00:57:08,036
Funnily enough, I've been trying to
contact Mr Tyrell.

863
00:57:08,048 --> 00:57:09,052
Why's that?

864
00:57:09,068 --> 00:57:13,048
This branch is closing down,
Inspector.

865
00:57:15,052 --> 00:57:19,036
Mrs Partridge, Mr Miller and myself,

866
00:57:19,052 --> 00:57:24,080
we find ourselves
surplus to requirements.

867
00:57:26,096 --> 00:57:30,060
Yes, Midsomer Florey will no longer
have its own bank.

868
00:57:31,060 --> 00:57:35,068
Instead it will have a wine bar.

869
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:38,036
Serving cocktails.

870
00:57:39,036 --> 00:57:44,028
And an eclectic Pacific cuisine.

871
00:57:45,028 --> 00:57:48,020
Now then, Mr Hawksley, deep breaths.

872
00:57:48,032 --> 00:57:51,048
(BREATHS DEEPLY)

873
00:57:59,024 --> 00:58:01,016
Thank you, Mrs Partridge, thank you.

874
00:58:04,076 --> 00:58:06,064
(CLEARS THROAT)

875
00:58:07,096 --> 00:58:11,000
So we've been notifying depositors

876
00:58:11,016 --> 00:58:13,044
that they must remove their
possessions from our strongroom

877
00:58:13,056 --> 00:58:14,096
by the end of the week.

878
00:58:15,008 --> 00:58:17,008
And Mr Tyrell hasn't responded?

879
00:58:17,020 --> 00:58:18,060
No. No, he hasn't.

880
00:58:18,076 --> 00:58:22,036
Well, perhaps he's moved
or forgotten.

881
00:58:22,052 --> 00:58:24,008
You'd be surprised
how many people do.

882
00:58:24,024 --> 00:58:27,052
(CLEARS THROAT) Though I am
rather baffled in this case.

883
00:58:27,064 --> 00:58:29,052
Why, why is that?

884
00:58:29,068 --> 00:58:33,044
Well, the item in question
is rather large.

885
00:58:35,052 --> 00:58:37,004
There it is.

886
00:58:37,016 --> 00:58:38,052
Early Victorian.

887
00:58:38,064 --> 00:58:40,080
Erm, I'm not very good at furniture.

888
00:58:40,096 --> 00:58:43,064
It's locked, presumably.
Oh, yes.

889
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,060
Have you got a key? No, that would
remain with the owner.

890
00:58:48,020 --> 00:58:50,048
Mr Hawksley, thank you,
thank you very much for your time.

891
00:58:50,064 --> 00:58:53,068
Yes. Would you mind, um,
letting yourself out?

892
00:58:53,084 --> 00:58:55,048
I've got some work
to finish off down here.

893
00:58:55,064 --> 00:58:57,032
No, no, certainly.
Thank you again.

894
00:58:57,044 --> 00:58:58,080
Pleasure.

895
00:59:36,020 --> 00:59:38,004
KNOCK AT DOOR
Inspector Barnaby?

896
00:59:39,020 --> 00:59:40,068
Come in.

897
00:59:42,020 --> 00:59:43,068
Mrs Tyrell!

898
00:59:44,068 --> 00:59:46,044
Thank you for dropping by.
Take a seat.

899
00:59:46,056 --> 00:59:49,004
I think we've recovered your bag.

900
00:59:49,016 --> 00:59:50,052
Thank God!

901
00:59:50,068 --> 00:59:53,096
The camera and the binoculars,
I'm afraid, were gone.

902
00:59:54,008 --> 00:59:56,092
But this was in it.

903
00:59:57,008 --> 00:59:59,016
Yes, that's the paperwork
I was worried about.

904
00:59:59,028 --> 01:00:00,068
What a relief!

905
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,052
And...there were these.

906
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,008
They were in my bag?
Yes, they were, Mrs Tyrell.

907
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,008
Well, they're not mine.
Are you sure?

908
01:00:14,024 --> 01:00:16,012
After all, you did have
a Polaroid camera.

909
01:00:16,028 --> 01:00:20,072
(LAUGHS) Um, I've never seen
that man before in my life.

910
01:00:20,084 --> 01:00:23,048
Well, his name is Tony Carter.

911
01:00:23,060 --> 01:00:25,084
It's quite a coincidence, really.

912
01:00:25,096 --> 01:00:27,056
What is?

913
01:00:27,072 --> 01:00:30,028
Well, Tony Carter
lives in Midsomer Florey,

914
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,032
where you were mugged.

915
01:00:32,044 --> 01:00:34,000
And where your husband

916
01:00:34,016 --> 01:00:37,004
keeps property stored in the
strongroom of the local bank.

917
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,016
Are you making some sort
of insinuation?

918
01:00:42,032 --> 01:00:47,008
No, no, no, no, I'm merely pointing
out an unexpected connection.

919
01:00:47,020 --> 01:00:48,096
Well, there is no connection.

920
01:00:49,008 --> 01:00:50,076
So forget it.

921
01:00:52,008 --> 01:00:54,000
Can I have my things back now,
please?

922
01:00:54,012 --> 01:00:56,068
Not quite yet, Mrs Tyrell.

923
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,084
You see, this is evidence.

924
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,068
Strictly speaking, this document
belongs to your husband.

925
01:01:03,084 --> 01:01:09,056
Would he be able, do you think,
to come in and identify it?

926
01:01:09,068 --> 01:01:11,024
No.

927
01:01:12,024 --> 01:01:13,092
He's out of the country.

928
01:01:14,004 --> 01:01:15,076
He's out of the country. Oh, damn.

929
01:01:15,092 --> 01:01:19,096
Still, there's no need to worry.
I've contacted the bank manager.

930
01:01:22,008 --> 01:01:23,072
Why did you do that?

931
01:01:23,088 --> 01:01:26,048
To make sure that your husband's
property is safe.

932
01:01:26,064 --> 01:01:29,096
The thieves might have tried
to claim it with this.

933
01:01:31,044 --> 01:01:33,084
And we wouldn't want that to happen,
would we, Mrs Tyrell?

934
01:01:33,096 --> 01:01:36,056
No, we wouldn't.

935
01:01:38,092 --> 01:01:40,040
Mm.

936
01:01:40,056 --> 01:01:43,036
So I said to Barnaby,
"Barnaby," I said,

937
01:01:43,052 --> 01:01:47,056
"If I was you
I'd have a look in the woods.

938
01:01:47,068 --> 01:01:49,020
Near the lay-by."

939
01:01:49,036 --> 01:01:52,072
Sure enough,
that's where he found the bag.

940
01:01:52,088 --> 01:01:55,012
You should have been a detective,
Godfrey, old pal.

941
01:01:55,024 --> 01:01:57,064
Exactly what Barnaby says.

942
01:02:02,060 --> 01:02:04,064
I just overheard
Barnaby's found the bag.

943
01:02:04,076 --> 01:02:06,012
What?

944
01:02:06,024 --> 01:02:08,000
Two guys at the bar -

945
01:02:10,032 --> 01:02:12,040
Not now, Troy.
This won't take a minute.

946
01:02:12,056 --> 01:02:14,044
Look, if this is about
Mike Wetherby's chisel...

947
01:02:14,056 --> 01:02:16,032
No, it's about Angela Browning.

948
01:02:16,044 --> 01:02:18,004
What did you say?

949
01:02:18,020 --> 01:02:19,096
That was Ruth Fairfax's real name,
wasn't it?

950
01:02:20,012 --> 01:02:22,084
She was a DC in
the National Intelligence Squad.

951
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,004
How the hell did you find that out?
All right, Simon.

952
01:02:25,016 --> 01:02:26,072
Listen to me, Troy.

953
01:02:26,088 --> 01:02:29,020
If you repeat that to anyone,
you're out of a job.

954
01:02:29,036 --> 01:02:31,040
As far as you're concerned,
the victim was a 60-year-old woman

955
01:02:31,052 --> 01:02:33,000
called Ruth Fairfax.

956
01:02:33,016 --> 01:02:35,088
We deal with these things
in our own way, no outsiders.

957
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,004
That's the way DI Gudgeon likes it.

958
01:02:38,016 --> 01:02:39,072
In other words, you don't trust me.

959
01:02:39,088 --> 01:02:42,076
Is there any way
I can put this kindly, Simon?

960
01:02:42,088 --> 01:02:44,060
No, James, there isn't.

961
01:02:44,076 --> 01:02:49,008
Mr Gudgeon would not jeopardise
a long and complex operation

962
01:02:49,024 --> 01:02:52,044
by spilling the beans
to a flat-footed country copper.

963
01:02:52,056 --> 01:02:53,092
Harsh but true.

964
01:02:54,008 --> 01:02:57,020
So here's what I want you to do,
Gavin.

965
01:02:57,036 --> 01:03:01,096
Keep your mouth shut and go back to
chasing purse-snatchers.

966
01:03:02,012 --> 01:03:04,064
I don't think you're cut out for
the NIS.

967
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,076
You're right. I'm not.

968
01:03:43,060 --> 01:03:45,000
Troy!

969
01:03:45,016 --> 01:03:47,044
Sorry to bother you, sir.
Um, have you got a moment?

970
01:03:47,056 --> 01:03:49,068
Of course I have. Come in.

971
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,020
Thanks.

972
01:03:56,052 --> 01:03:59,012
They didn't question Mike Wetherby
about the chisel.

973
01:03:59,028 --> 01:04:02,020
And then I found out his solicitor
had been there all the time.

974
01:04:02,036 --> 01:04:04,024
They sent him to the wrong
interview room.

975
01:04:05,032 --> 01:04:07,040
I couldn't let it go.
I had to say something.

976
01:04:07,052 --> 01:04:09,076
Good for you, Troy. Good for you.

977
01:04:15,032 --> 01:04:17,000
This face ring a bell?

978
01:04:18,052 --> 01:04:20,016
It's Tony Carter.

979
01:04:20,028 --> 01:04:22,012
Actually it used to be Tony Mayhew.

980
01:04:22,028 --> 01:04:23,064
Used to be?
Yeah.

981
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,052
Before he entered
the Witness Protection Scheme.

982
01:04:25,064 --> 01:04:28,008
Do you remember the Rugged Edge job?

983
01:04:28,024 --> 01:04:30,072
Massive robbery, Heathrow,
five years ago.

984
01:04:30,088 --> 01:04:32,072
Yeah, they got away with
20 million in cash.

985
01:04:32,084 --> 01:04:34,028
Yeah.

986
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,044
That was Carter and his friends.

987
01:04:37,056 --> 01:04:39,028
Carter was arrested.

988
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,024
But he made a deal.

989
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:43,068
He gave evidence
against his accomplices,

990
01:04:43,084 --> 01:04:47,052
and in return he got himself
a new name and a new life.

991
01:04:47,068 --> 01:04:50,020
In Midsomer Florey.
In Midsomer Florey.

992
01:04:50,036 --> 01:04:53,072
Which brings us very neatly into
the bag-snatching in Leverets Lane.

993
01:04:53,084 --> 01:04:55,052
What's that got to do with it?

994
01:04:55,068 --> 01:04:59,028
Carter's right-hand man, partner
in crime and long-time friend

995
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,084
was one Keith Tyrell.

996
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,072
The woman who was robbed,
her name is Linda Tyrell.

997
01:05:05,084 --> 01:05:07,088
Keith Tyrell's wife.

998
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,076
And these photos were in her bag?

999
01:05:09,088 --> 01:05:12,044
Passport photographs at a guess.

1000
01:05:12,060 --> 01:05:16,028
So while her husband serves 15 years
for armed robbery,

1001
01:05:16,044 --> 01:05:18,056
Linda's helping the man
who put him away

1002
01:05:18,068 --> 01:05:20,024
to get a new passport.

1003
01:05:20,036 --> 01:05:22,008
Now, why, why is that, I wonder?

1004
01:05:22,020 --> 01:05:24,028
Wait a minute.

1005
01:05:24,044 --> 01:05:26,012
Not all the money was recovered,
was it?

1006
01:05:26,024 --> 01:05:30,000
£5 million unaccounted for, Troy.

1007
01:05:30,016 --> 01:05:32,092
Keith Tyrell's share,
as rumour has it.

1008
01:05:33,004 --> 01:05:34,040
And Keith Tyrell

1009
01:05:34,056 --> 01:05:36,068
stored a rather large
piece of furniture

1010
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,088
in the strongroom of the local bank.

1011
01:05:39,004 --> 01:05:41,096
And the receipt for that was in
Linda Tyrell's hold-all

1012
01:05:42,008 --> 01:05:43,044
when it was snatched.

1013
01:05:43,060 --> 01:05:47,032
Angela Browning must have found out
about the money,

1014
01:05:47,044 --> 01:05:49,024
so Tony Carter killed her.

1015
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,008
That would be very convenient,
wouldn't it?

1016
01:05:52,020 --> 01:05:53,088
Unfortunately,

1017
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,084
Godfrey Teal saw Tony Carter

1018
01:05:57,096 --> 01:05:59,060
in the woods, half a mile away,

1019
01:05:59,076 --> 01:06:01,068
at the time Ruth Fairfax
was being murdered.

1020
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:06,092
Tom!

1021
01:06:07,004 --> 01:06:08,044
I'm home!

1022
01:06:08,060 --> 01:06:11,008
How did it go?
Marvellous, actually.

1023
01:06:11,020 --> 01:06:13,052
Everything just sort of clicked.

1024
01:06:13,064 --> 01:06:15,000
Look.

1025
01:06:19,008 --> 01:06:21,056
It's very, um...

1026
01:06:21,068 --> 01:06:24,040
It's very atmospheric.

1027
01:06:24,052 --> 01:06:25,088
Who's this?

1028
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,052
Oh, Alan Pinkney.

1029
01:06:27,068 --> 01:06:30,084
Why has he got huge whiskers
growing out of his ears?

1030
01:06:30,096 --> 01:06:33,020
They're paintbrushes.

1031
01:06:33,036 --> 01:06:35,064
He's always got brushes
behind his ears.

1032
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,020
These trees are very good,
Mrs Barnaby.

1033
01:06:38,032 --> 01:06:40,088
They're clouds, Gavin.

1034
01:06:41,004 --> 01:06:43,076
Could I see your brushes,
please, Joyce?

1035
01:06:43,088 --> 01:06:46,000
Thank you.

1036
01:06:47,092 --> 01:06:51,036
Artist's brush No. 8, pure sable.

1037
01:06:51,048 --> 01:06:53,028
The brush found under the body,

1038
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,008
that had a brown shaft, didn't it?

1039
01:06:56,008 --> 01:06:58,032
Yeah, and the brush bit
was made of nylon.

1040
01:06:58,044 --> 01:06:59,084
Most people use sable.

1041
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,056
You see, we assumed the brush
was Ruth Fairfax's,

1042
01:07:02,068 --> 01:07:04,052
but maybe it wasn't.

1043
01:07:04,064 --> 01:07:06,052
Maybe it was the murderer's.

1044
01:07:07,056 --> 01:07:09,016
If you were creeping up on someone

1045
01:07:09,032 --> 01:07:10,096
with the intention of stabbing them
with a chisel,

1046
01:07:11,012 --> 01:07:12,084
you wouldn't take a paintbrush
with you.

1047
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:14,064
Not if you've got it
stuck behind your ear

1048
01:07:14,076 --> 01:07:16,076
and you've forgotten it was there.

1049
01:07:16,092 --> 01:07:20,068
Joyce, was Alan Pinkney sitting
in front of you all the week?

1050
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,072
No. Only today.

1051
01:07:22,088 --> 01:07:25,068
Before that he was...
Where? Where was he?

1052
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,048
I'm trying to remember.

1053
01:07:27,064 --> 01:07:29,072
You had to move
from the first spot you chose

1054
01:07:29,088 --> 01:07:32,036
because Ruth Fairfax
appeared from nowhere, yeah?

1055
01:07:32,052 --> 01:07:36,008
You can't go there.
Oh! You made me jump.

1056
01:07:36,024 --> 01:07:37,060
That's my place.
Sorry?

1057
01:07:37,076 --> 01:07:41,044
So you moved a few yards away
to the north end of the green.

1058
01:07:41,056 --> 01:07:42,092
Yes.

1059
01:07:44,048 --> 01:07:46,032
Yes, I had a good view,

1060
01:07:46,044 --> 01:07:48,016
I could see the others,

1061
01:07:48,032 --> 01:07:50,088
and I could see Ruth Fairfax
in the other direction.

1062
01:07:51,088 --> 01:07:54,004
Alan Pinkney was near her.

1063
01:07:55,048 --> 01:07:59,088
But I couldn't really see him
because there was a tree in the way.

1064
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,096
You couldn't see him at all?

1065
01:08:02,008 --> 01:08:04,012
Only if I leant back in my chair.

1066
01:08:04,028 --> 01:08:06,060
Oh, I'd forgotten that.
I'm sorry, Tom.

1067
01:08:06,076 --> 01:08:08,080
There's no need to be, Joyce.
You've been a great help.

1068
01:08:08,092 --> 01:08:10,068
What do we know about Alan Pinkney?

1069
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,052
Not much. Unemployed.

1070
01:08:12,068 --> 01:08:15,004
No criminal record.
Lives in Causton.

1071
01:08:15,020 --> 01:08:17,044
See, the brush found under
the body...

1072
01:08:18,056 --> 01:08:22,060
I want to be absolutely sure
it isn't Ruth Fairfax's.

1073
01:08:25,028 --> 01:08:28,048
Gudgeon won't like us poking around
in his evidence, sir.

1074
01:08:28,060 --> 01:08:30,040
We can make an early start.

1075
01:08:31,052 --> 01:08:33,016
He'd never know.

1076
01:08:50,068 --> 01:08:52,076
Ann, over here!

1077
01:08:55,028 --> 01:08:57,004
(LAUGHS)

1078
01:08:58,004 --> 01:08:59,052
Shh!

1079
01:09:08,052 --> 01:09:10,000
What about the money?

1080
01:09:10,012 --> 01:09:12,020
The money is going nowhere

1081
01:09:12,036 --> 01:09:14,064
as long as I've got
the strongroom receipt.

1082
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,032
It's good to be back to normal, sir.

1083
01:09:20,092 --> 01:09:22,084
Sorry about the last few days.

1084
01:09:22,096 --> 01:09:24,084
Got nothing to be sorry for, Troy.

1085
01:09:26,036 --> 01:09:29,000
See you first thing.
Sir.

1086
01:09:42,028 --> 01:09:45,016
Barnaby knows who you are by now.

1087
01:09:45,028 --> 01:09:47,036
And me, for that matter.

1088
01:09:47,048 --> 01:09:49,064
Which means...

1089
01:09:49,076 --> 01:09:51,072
Yes!

1090
01:09:51,088 --> 01:09:55,048
..that he has guessed
what's in the bank.

1091
01:09:55,060 --> 01:09:57,084
Yeah, all right, I'm sorry, Tony.

1092
01:09:58,084 --> 01:10:01,068
We're better off without the receipt.

1093
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,076
As long as Barnaby's got it,

1094
01:10:03,088 --> 01:10:05,088
he'll think the money's safe.

1095
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,020
So how do we get it?

1096
01:10:09,020 --> 01:10:10,080
We make a withdrawal.

1097
01:10:12,048 --> 01:10:14,016
The old-fashioned way.

1098
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:11,044
Here are her paintings, sir.

1099
01:11:14,064 --> 01:11:16,060
The paintbrushes must be
around here somewhere.

1100
01:11:29,048 --> 01:11:33,064
It looks like Tony Carter was
signalling to Linda Tyrell

1101
01:11:33,076 --> 01:11:35,028
up there in the woods.

1102
01:11:35,044 --> 01:11:39,024
Looks like it was based on whether
the curtains were open or closed.

1103
01:11:40,048 --> 01:11:42,076
Angela Browning must have
worked it out.

1104
01:11:42,088 --> 01:11:44,040
Here they are.

1105
01:11:44,052 --> 01:11:46,072
Black shafts, pure sable.

1106
01:11:46,084 --> 01:11:48,052
Except this one.

1107
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,048
Just shoved in
with the rest of them.

1108
01:11:54,064 --> 01:11:56,068
It's typical of the way
this investigation is being run.

1109
01:11:56,084 --> 01:12:00,012
The NIS, they're supposed to
be the elite.

1110
01:12:00,024 --> 01:12:02,020
It's just a shambles.

1111
01:12:02,036 --> 01:12:05,044
Well, that's what you get when your
boss is never about, isn't it?

1112
01:12:05,056 --> 01:12:06,092
Yes.

1113
01:12:07,004 --> 01:12:08,052
The famous DI Gudgeon.

1114
01:12:08,064 --> 01:12:10,072
I still haven't met the bloke.

1115
01:12:10,084 --> 01:12:12,040
He's always in a meeting.

1116
01:12:16,064 --> 01:12:18,020
I'll take this to Forensics, sir,

1117
01:12:18,036 --> 01:12:20,036
see if I can get Alan Pinkney's
fingerprints.

1118
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,064
Sir?

1119
01:12:24,076 --> 01:12:27,000
Yeah, you get it to Forensics.

1120
01:12:28,092 --> 01:12:31,048
I'll go and have a chat
with Alan Pinkney.

1121
01:12:46,096 --> 01:12:48,064
Now then, lovely people,

1122
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:52,008
this is our last day in gorgeous
Midsomer Florey,

1123
01:12:52,020 --> 01:12:53,088
so let's make the most of it.

1124
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,080
Don't forget the charity auction.

1125
01:12:56,096 --> 01:12:59,012
We want people
falling over themselves

1126
01:12:59,024 --> 01:13:01,052
to buy your masterpieces.

1127
01:13:01,068 --> 01:13:05,056
So let's see
your very, very best work.

1128
01:13:22,048 --> 01:13:25,012
We'll just get down there
as soon as we can.

1129
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,016
Linda Tyrell, Troy.

1130
01:13:31,028 --> 01:13:32,092
Name ring a bell?

1131
01:13:33,004 --> 01:13:35,020
Linda Tyrell. Um...

1132
01:13:35,036 --> 01:13:38,032
Come on, Troy. Her bag was snatched
near Midsomer Florey.

1133
01:13:38,044 --> 01:13:40,044
We believe the bag's been found.

1134
01:13:40,056 --> 01:13:42,036
Linda Tyrell is ring-fenced, Troy.

1135
01:13:42,048 --> 01:13:44,008
Ring-fenced?

1136
01:13:44,024 --> 01:13:46,048
Meaning she is the subject
of an NIS investigation.

1137
01:13:46,064 --> 01:13:48,064
Anything to do with her
comes straight back to us.

1138
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,052
There was a document found
in that bag.

1139
01:13:51,064 --> 01:13:53,060
I'm asking you to hand it over.

1140
01:13:53,072 --> 01:13:55,052
A document?

1141
01:13:55,064 --> 01:13:57,056
You mean like a piece of paper?

1142
01:13:57,068 --> 01:13:59,096
DON'T ANNOY ME, TROY!

1143
01:14:00,012 --> 01:14:05,052
Sorry, but you have to spell these
things out for us country coppers.

1144
01:14:09,052 --> 01:14:11,028
Let him have it, Troy.

1145
01:14:15,076 --> 01:14:17,044
Really, sir?

1146
01:14:19,064 --> 01:14:21,068
That's more like it.

1147
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,084
I don't believe I invited you
to sit in my seat, Sergeant.

1148
01:14:38,084 --> 01:14:40,080
Thank you, sir.

1149
01:14:50,024 --> 01:14:51,088
Excuse me.

1150
01:14:54,060 --> 01:14:56,092
Thank you for your cooperation.

1151
01:14:57,096 --> 01:14:59,076
Thank you, sir.

1152
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,012
SIREN BLARES IN THE DISTANCE

1153
01:15:12,092 --> 01:15:14,084
I thought you were going after
Alan Pinkney, sir.

1154
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:17,000
I heard those two
were looking for me.

1155
01:15:17,016 --> 01:15:18,076
I guessed they wanted
the strongroom receipt.

1156
01:15:18,088 --> 01:15:20,036
Why?

1157
01:15:20,052 --> 01:15:23,088
Remember you were saying earlier that
this investigation was a shambles?

1158
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,044
Well, it is.

1159
01:15:25,060 --> 01:15:28,048
Well, maybe that's the way
Gudgeon wants it.

1160
01:15:28,060 --> 01:15:30,056
Not with you, sir.

1161
01:15:32,064 --> 01:15:34,076
Policemen like money too, Troy.

1162
01:15:36,052 --> 01:15:39,008
The bank opens in half an hour.

1163
01:15:39,024 --> 01:15:41,084
I'll go straight there,
you take that brush to the lab

1164
01:15:41,096 --> 01:15:43,072
and track down Pinkney.

1165
01:15:43,088 --> 01:15:46,008
Shall I arrest him, sir?
No, no, not yet.

1166
01:15:46,020 --> 01:15:48,024
Try and get a look at his brushes.

1167
01:15:48,036 --> 01:15:49,096
See if they're like that one.

1168
01:15:50,012 --> 01:15:52,020
And then we'll just have to wait
for the lab results.

1169
01:15:52,032 --> 01:15:54,096
We've got to get this right, Troy.

1170
01:15:55,008 --> 01:15:56,088
Or we'll end up directing traffic.

1171
01:16:07,088 --> 01:16:09,036
(CLICKS TONGUE)

1172
01:16:41,084 --> 01:16:43,040
That's interesting.

1173
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,032
You think so?
Yeah!

1174
01:16:47,044 --> 01:16:49,060
"Good" isn't the word.

1175
01:16:49,072 --> 01:16:51,024
Very kind of you to say so.

1176
01:17:56,028 --> 01:17:58,028
I don't understand.

1177
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,012
He should have left ages ago.

1178
01:18:01,068 --> 01:18:03,064
He's up to something.

1179
01:18:03,076 --> 01:18:05,040
I'm going to have a look.

1180
01:18:05,056 --> 01:18:07,056
For heaven's sake,
don't do anything to annoy him.

1181
01:18:35,004 --> 01:18:37,052
KNOCK AT DOOR

1182
01:18:37,068 --> 01:18:41,068
MRS PARTRIDGE: Mr Hawksley, it's
Chief Inspector Barnaby to see you.

1183
01:18:43,020 --> 01:18:44,076
One minute. (CLEARS THROAT)

1184
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,048
Ann, wait!

1185
01:19:03,024 --> 01:19:05,080
Ann! Wait!

1186
01:19:31,044 --> 01:19:33,056
Can I help you, sir?
I hope so.

1187
01:19:33,068 --> 01:19:35,040
For your sake.

1188
01:19:37,064 --> 01:19:39,012
Arggh!

1189
01:19:46,008 --> 01:19:49,072
We have reason to believe it contains
a large quantity of stolen money.

1190
01:19:51,004 --> 01:19:52,052
No!

1191
01:19:52,068 --> 01:19:55,000
Are you sure?
Oh, yes.

1192
01:19:55,012 --> 01:19:56,064
KNOCK AT DOOR

1193
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,080
MRS PARTRIDGE: Mr Hawksley,
could you open the door?

1194
01:19:58,092 --> 01:20:00,052
It's rather urgent.

1195
01:20:00,064 --> 01:20:02,008
Excuse me.

1196
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,040
Get in! In you go!

1197
01:20:16,056 --> 01:20:20,088
Sorry, Mr Hawksley.
Nobody talks except me.

1198
01:20:30,024 --> 01:20:33,004
Right, there is the key.

1199
01:20:34,064 --> 01:20:36,024
Open it up.

1200
01:20:53,076 --> 01:20:55,024
Bin bags. In there.

1201
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:59,068
You take them out, take the money
and fill up the bin bags.

1202
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,020
Couldn't be easier.

1203
01:21:15,072 --> 01:21:17,052
You help them out, Barnaby,

1204
01:21:17,064 --> 01:21:20,028
and I might decide not to kill you.

1205
01:21:58,028 --> 01:21:59,096
Morning, dear lady.

1206
01:22:01,044 --> 01:22:03,060
I thought the car looked familiar.

1207
01:22:03,076 --> 01:22:07,028
Even though I last saw it
from a prone position.

1208
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:08,076
What do you want?

1209
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Don't you recognise me?

1210
01:23:13,088 --> 01:23:16,072
WHAT'S THAT?
The fire alarm.

1211
01:23:16,088 --> 01:23:19,060
The fire brigade will come
if we don't turn it off.

1212
01:23:19,072 --> 01:23:21,032
Shall I do it for you?

1213
01:23:21,044 --> 01:23:23,072
The switch is just outside the door.

1214
01:23:23,084 --> 01:23:25,064
Stay where you are.

1215
01:23:27,028 --> 01:23:29,068
I'll do it.

1216
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,036
You, keep working!

1217
01:24:04,056 --> 01:24:11,008
Troy, arrest and caution Mr Carter
or Mr Mayhew or whatever his name is.

1218
01:24:11,020 --> 01:24:12,052
Mr Hawksley!

1219
01:24:14,044 --> 01:24:18,000
I'd be grateful if you'd get the bank
back to some semblance of normality

1220
01:24:18,012 --> 01:24:19,052
as soon as possible, OK?

1221
01:24:19,064 --> 01:24:21,004
Certainly.

1222
01:24:24,032 --> 01:24:25,080
To tell you the truth,

1223
01:24:25,092 --> 01:24:29,004
I'm fatally drawn to the dark side

1224
01:24:29,016 --> 01:24:30,060
where women are concerned.

1225
01:24:30,076 --> 01:24:33,028
Perhaps you'd join me
in a glass of sherry

1226
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,076
in the Cock and Rabbit.

1227
01:24:34,088 --> 01:24:37,072
Will you please just go away!

1228
01:24:37,084 --> 01:24:41,004
I know you don't really mean that.

1229
01:24:45,092 --> 01:24:48,040
Ah! Dear Mrs Carter.

1230
01:24:48,052 --> 01:24:50,072
What a lovely surprise.

1231
01:24:50,088 --> 01:24:54,068
Midsomer Florey is crawling with
beautiful women today.

1232
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,048
Godfrey, have you seen my husband?

1233
01:24:56,064 --> 01:24:59,024
I believe I saw him
popping into the bank.

1234
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,072
It's too late for him
to open an account, you know.

1235
01:25:01,084 --> 01:25:03,080
The bank's closing.

1236
01:25:03,092 --> 01:25:05,084
Linda Tyrell!

1237
01:25:07,004 --> 01:25:09,068
Now I understand!

1238
01:25:10,068 --> 01:25:13,080
You couldn't leave him alone,
could you?

1239
01:25:16,052 --> 01:25:20,004
He was just using you, Linda,
to get at the money!

1240
01:25:20,016 --> 01:25:22,020
Just you wait and see.

1241
01:25:22,036 --> 01:25:24,084
I'm the one that's gonna be
spending it!

1242
01:25:24,096 --> 01:25:27,024
Oh, so you two know each other!

1243
01:25:27,036 --> 01:25:28,080
Oh, that's marvellous.

1244
01:25:28,096 --> 01:25:31,040
Why don't we all go for
a little tincture?

1245
01:25:31,056 --> 01:25:36,000
Just for once, Godfrey,
mind your own damn business!

1246
01:25:36,012 --> 01:25:37,088
SIREN BLARES

1247
01:25:50,096 --> 01:25:52,072
Magnificent!

1248
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,008
TYRES SCREECH

1249
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:55,088
Good morning.

1250
01:26:56,004 --> 01:27:00,000
I'd like to withdraw some property
from your strongroom.

1251
01:27:03,076 --> 01:27:05,036
Thank you, Mrs Partridge.

1252
01:27:08,056 --> 01:27:10,016
I'll deal with this.

1253
01:27:23,056 --> 01:27:25,032
There it is.

1254
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,044
Thank you, Mr Hawksley.
We'll take it from here.

1255
01:27:33,076 --> 01:27:35,040
Thank you, sir.

1256
01:27:35,052 --> 01:27:37,044
Er, sorry. Thank you.

1257
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,028
Five mill, James.

1258
01:27:48,056 --> 01:27:51,056
(BOTH LAUGH HYSTERICALLY)

1259
01:27:53,008 --> 01:27:54,080
Sh. Sh. Key.

1260
01:27:55,096 --> 01:27:58,076
Oh, sod it. Hawksley must have it.
Off you go.

1261
01:28:01,088 --> 01:28:03,080
Oh, thank God you're here!

1262
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,036
What the hell do you want?

1263
01:28:06,048 --> 01:28:08,004
There's £5 million in that thing.

1264
01:28:08,020 --> 01:28:10,068
The unrecovered proceeds
of an armed robbery in there.

1265
01:28:10,084 --> 01:28:13,080
We are aware of that. That's why
we're here, to recover it.

1266
01:28:13,092 --> 01:28:16,024
Well, that's a terrific relief.

1267
01:28:16,036 --> 01:28:17,072
As you can imagine,

1268
01:28:17,088 --> 01:28:21,008
we're not used to dealing with such
vast sums hereabouts.

1269
01:28:21,024 --> 01:28:23,068
Yes, I can imagine. There's no need
to get stressed, sir.

1270
01:28:23,084 --> 01:28:26,024
This is an NIS matter now.
We'll take care of it.

1271
01:28:26,036 --> 01:28:27,096
You'd better have the keys.

1272
01:28:28,008 --> 01:28:29,044
There you go.

1273
01:28:30,072 --> 01:28:32,020
Oh, thank you kindly, sir.

1274
01:28:46,044 --> 01:28:48,064
Well, let's get cracking.

1275
01:28:56,056 --> 01:28:59,020
Oh, er, thank you, Inspector,
we shan't be needing you.

1276
01:29:05,076 --> 01:29:08,028
There is one thing.
What's that?

1277
01:29:08,044 --> 01:29:10,080
Well, as I say, this is slightly
out of our league,

1278
01:29:10,096 --> 01:29:14,084
so if we could have some sort of
authorisation from DI Gudgeon

1279
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,004
before you remove all that money,
just in case.

1280
01:29:19,004 --> 01:29:20,064
He's very busy.

1281
01:29:20,076 --> 01:29:22,028
In a meeting, is he?

1282
01:29:35,004 --> 01:29:36,072
What was that?

1283
01:29:36,088 --> 01:29:39,052
Oh, I asked Mr Hawksley
to secure the strongroom.

1284
01:29:39,064 --> 01:29:41,032
Just in case.

1285
01:29:41,048 --> 01:29:44,036
Someone tried to steal the money
at gunpoint half an hour ago.

1286
01:29:44,048 --> 01:29:46,020
You mean we're locked in?

1287
01:29:46,032 --> 01:29:47,068
Oh, don't worry.

1288
01:29:47,084 --> 01:29:49,020
There's enough oxygen
to last 24 hours.

1289
01:29:49,036 --> 01:29:54,060
Mr Hawksley will unlock the door
when your DI Gudgeon shows up.

1290
01:29:59,072 --> 01:30:01,024
Call him.

1291
01:30:24,032 --> 01:30:26,060
DOOR OPENS

1292
01:30:36,060 --> 01:30:38,056
KEYS JANGLE

1293
01:30:38,068 --> 01:30:40,032
DOOR UNLOCKS

1294
01:30:49,092 --> 01:30:51,052
Detective Inspector Gudgeon.

1295
01:31:04,020 --> 01:31:05,088
What's the problem?

1296
01:31:07,024 --> 01:31:09,060
He's not Gudgeon.
Oh, yes, he is.

1297
01:31:13,020 --> 01:31:17,048
Barnaby, how dare you obstruct
NIS officers.

1298
01:31:17,060 --> 01:31:20,000
Let's not talk about the NIS.

1299
01:31:21,020 --> 01:31:23,076
Let's talk about paintbrushes.

1300
01:31:26,092 --> 01:31:29,060
Forget it was there, did you?
Easy mistake to make.

1301
01:31:31,088 --> 01:31:33,084
I think you should know, Barnaby,

1302
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,000
that I have a very good
working relationship

1303
01:31:36,012 --> 01:31:37,060
with your chief constable.

1304
01:31:37,072 --> 01:31:39,068
Not for much longer, sir.

1305
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:42,096
You see, this brush is identical

1306
01:31:43,012 --> 01:31:45,056
to the one found under
Angela Browning's body.

1307
01:31:45,068 --> 01:31:48,004
Your brush, Gudgeon,

1308
01:31:48,020 --> 01:31:51,064
which you dislodged from behind
your ear when you stabbed her

1309
01:31:51,076 --> 01:31:54,000
with Mike Wetherby's chisel.

1310
01:31:54,016 --> 01:31:56,096
Simon, James, this is all nonsense.
Get on with packing the money.

1311
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,080
We'll be getting the prints back
from the lab in an hour.

1312
01:32:04,092 --> 01:32:07,060
There was a brown brush
in with the others.

1313
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,032
I thought it was Angela's.

1314
01:32:11,048 --> 01:32:14,036
Detective Constable Angela Browning
did a good job.

1315
01:32:14,052 --> 01:32:17,036
She found out about Tony Carter
and Linda Tyrell,

1316
01:32:17,048 --> 01:32:18,088
and the strongroom receipt.

1317
01:32:19,004 --> 01:32:22,072
The only problem was,
she was straight.

1318
01:32:25,036 --> 01:32:28,040
Which meant she had to go.

1319
01:32:28,052 --> 01:32:30,008
Didn't she, Gudgeon?

1320
01:32:30,020 --> 01:32:32,004
No violence.

1321
01:32:32,020 --> 01:32:34,072
You said NO VIOLENCE!
Now just wait a minute.

1322
01:32:34,088 --> 01:32:36,096
You killed one of your own.
YOU BASTARD!

1323
01:32:39,064 --> 01:32:42,024
All right, all right.
Troy, get some backup.

1324
01:32:42,036 --> 01:32:43,080
And caution them.

1325
01:32:45,052 --> 01:32:47,004
All right, all right.

1326
01:33:23,072 --> 01:33:26,052
How did you know Pinkney
was Gudgeon, sir?

1327
01:33:26,068 --> 01:33:30,044
I'd assumed that Pinkney
was working with Gudgeon.

1328
01:33:30,060 --> 01:33:35,028
But then why would Gudgeon trust
a civilian non-entity like Pinkney?

1329
01:33:35,044 --> 01:33:38,060
It only made sense
if they were one and the same person.

1330
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:42,008
Flat-footed country coppers indeed.

1331
01:33:44,028 --> 01:33:47,032
I wish every arrest was as enjoyable
as this, sir.

1332
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,048
BARRETT FILBY: Hello?

1333
01:33:53,060 --> 01:33:55,028
Colin?

1334
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:56,076
Ah.

1335
01:33:56,088 --> 01:33:58,076
Hello, Barrett.

1336
01:34:00,064 --> 01:34:02,012
I was wondering, um...

1337
01:34:03,012 --> 01:34:06,012
Do you know where Ann Carter is?

1338
01:34:06,028 --> 01:34:08,068
Went off to the police station
with her husband.

1339
01:34:10,044 --> 01:34:11,092
Oh.

1340
01:34:12,008 --> 01:34:15,004
Turns out he was a bank robber
called Tony Mayhew.

1341
01:34:15,020 --> 01:34:18,020
Did you know that?
No, no, I didn't.

1342
01:34:20,024 --> 01:34:21,092
Thanks.

1343
01:34:25,060 --> 01:34:29,000
£5 million in cash.

1344
01:34:31,044 --> 01:34:36,092
I've been sitting inches away
from £5 million in cash

1345
01:34:37,004 --> 01:34:38,052
for four years.

1346
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,056
You've no idea what it's like

1347
01:34:43,068 --> 01:34:49,016
to be so close to so much money.

1348
01:34:50,036 --> 01:34:53,000
Actually, I have.

1349
01:34:58,088 --> 01:35:01,008
(SIGHS)

1350
01:35:05,036 --> 01:35:07,016
Whose is that?

1351
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:10,048
What?

1352
01:35:12,036 --> 01:35:15,032
Good God! (CHUCKLES)
What?

1353
01:35:16,084 --> 01:35:20,016
It's a linen press, 19th century.

1354
01:35:20,028 --> 01:35:21,064
Made, if I'm not mistaken...

1355
01:35:22,064 --> 01:35:24,060
..by Joseph Wilkinson.

1356
01:35:25,060 --> 01:35:27,088
I read up on furniture
while I was inside.

1357
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:29,068
While I was at art school.

1358
01:35:31,064 --> 01:35:34,032
You think it's worth something?

1359
01:35:34,044 --> 01:35:38,008
(CHUCKLES) A small fortune, old chum.

1360
01:35:39,052 --> 01:35:41,028
A small fortune.

1361
01:35:42,028 --> 01:35:43,088
(CHUCKLES)

1362
01:35:49,076 --> 01:35:52,080
I'm bid £20 for this delightful,
delightful study

1363
01:35:52,092 --> 01:35:54,032
of Hen Cottages.

1364
01:35:54,048 --> 01:35:56,052
Come on, ladies and gentlemen,
it's all in a good cause.

1365
01:35:56,064 --> 01:35:58,024
Who'll go to 25?

1366
01:35:58,036 --> 01:36:00,088
£25. Let's hear it for £25.

1367
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:02,036
Anybody, for £25.

1368
01:36:02,048 --> 01:36:04,052
So Alan Pinkney...

1369
01:36:04,068 --> 01:36:07,080
Oh, sorry, Mark Gudgeon,
was the murderer.

1370
01:36:07,096 --> 01:36:10,004
Certainly was.
His prints were on the brush.

1371
01:36:10,020 --> 01:36:12,024
And you recovered all that money.
I did.

1372
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:15,008
Well done, Tom!
Ah, Barnaby!

1373
01:36:15,020 --> 01:36:18,092
No news of Linda Tyrell, I suppose?

1374
01:36:19,004 --> 01:36:20,048
I'm afraid not, Major.

1375
01:36:20,064 --> 01:36:22,040
She seems to have disappeared
without trace.

1376
01:36:22,056 --> 01:36:26,076
Oh, she's probably sunning
her magnificent ankles

1377
01:36:26,088 --> 01:36:29,016
in foreign climes, eh?

1378
01:36:30,052 --> 01:36:32,056
Such is life.

1379
01:36:32,072 --> 01:36:35,008
..so it'd be a really good
investment on your wall.

1380
01:36:35,024 --> 01:36:37,076
£40. I'm bid £40.
Hello, Joyce.

1381
01:36:37,088 --> 01:36:39,036
Tessa!

1382
01:36:39,052 --> 01:36:41,088
How lovely to see you!
You look marvellous.

1383
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:43,076
Thanks.

1384
01:36:43,092 --> 01:36:46,040
Things have turned out rather well,
actually. Oh, I'm so glad.

1385
01:36:46,052 --> 01:36:48,064
Colin inherited a family heirloom.

1386
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,036
It turned out to be
surprisingly valuable.

1387
01:36:50,048 --> 01:36:51,084
How marvellous!

1388
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,016
COLIN: £50. £50.
Oh, good. Here's Barrett.

1389
01:36:55,028 --> 01:36:57,048
Ah, my two favourite lovely ladies.

1390
01:36:58,048 --> 01:37:02,008
Will you excuse me, Joyce,
if I steal Tessa away?

1391
01:37:02,024 --> 01:37:05,092
We have to discuss the society's
plans for next year.

1392
01:37:06,004 --> 01:37:07,040
Sold to you, Vicar.

1393
01:37:07,052 --> 01:37:09,008
Right. Now, then.

1394
01:37:10,048 --> 01:37:12,096
Er, lot 17.

1395
01:37:13,008 --> 01:37:15,024
Oh, the next painting's mine.

1396
01:37:15,036 --> 01:37:17,052
..by Joyce Barnaby.

1397
01:37:17,068 --> 01:37:20,000
What if no-one makes a bid?
Who'll start me on £20?

1398
01:37:20,012 --> 01:37:21,048
£20.

1399
01:37:22,072 --> 01:37:24,088
Come on, come on. £20.

1400
01:37:25,004 --> 01:37:27,064
Well, £10 then.
Come on, ladies and gentlemen!

1401
01:37:27,076 --> 01:37:29,096
Thank you, Inspector Barnaby.

1402
01:37:30,008 --> 01:37:32,004
Right, who'll go to 15, £15?

1403
01:37:32,016 --> 01:37:33,064
Hm?

1404
01:37:33,076 --> 01:37:35,076
£100!

1405
01:37:35,088 --> 01:37:37,028
ONLOOKERS: Ooh!

1406
01:37:37,044 --> 01:37:41,004
£100 I'm bid.
Well done, Major Teal.

1407
01:37:41,016 --> 01:37:42,060
That's more like it.

1408
01:37:42,072 --> 01:37:44,092
Now who'll go to £150?

1409
01:37:45,004 --> 01:37:46,040
Someone, surely, come on.

1410
01:37:46,052 --> 01:37:48,008
£150. Someone!
