I will.

And then I'll remove

Not in front of the chickens.

They're not chickens?!
They're prize birds!

Will you be late for dinner?

Depends on the opposition.

Oh, I'll try not to be.
I've dreamed up something special.

I've got to make a killing tonight.

Kate?

Darling?!

- Susie?
- Oh!

Susie?

Hello! I'll be with you in a minute.

You've set the table for dinner.
How did you know I was coming?

Uh... I rang your secretary.

She said you were on the way home.

Ah, hmm.
I wanted to surprise you.

Never mind.
I've got a surprise for you.

What?

Beef Wellington.

What?

Beef Wellington!

Oh, lovely.

Why don't you have a drink
while I finish getting ready?

Ah, in a minute.

I had one on the train already.

Well that's never stopped you before.

What do you mean?
Oh. Ha, ha! Very funny.

So, tell me what you've been up to.

I've been getting Monty
ready for the meet.

Oh, terrific. I'll come too.

I'll get that lot back next time.

Yeah? Says who?

Double or quits. Next Friday?

Artie?

Why not?

How about the old barn,
south side of Ipsley Manor?

Friends in high places, eh?

You could say that.

Who's a good girl?

Have you been a good girl?
Did you miss me?

Would you light the candles, darling?

Of course.

Come on, we've got
to light the candles.

Susie!

I won't be a minute.

♪ ELGAR: CELLO CONCERTO

Lit them.

Whisky?

Yes.

Oh.

I hope you haven't
swallowed anything.

What?

Come on, bedtime.

I was going to make supper for you,

but you've been catching flies
for the past two hours.

It's quarter past ten.
The whole evening's gone!

Yeah, well, never mind.
It's your morning off tomorrow.

It was that drive that finishes me.

I nearly nodded off on the way home.

Well, you shouldn't drive
if you're that tired.

Hello.

Any chance of breakfast
in bed tomorrow morning?

Before I go to work?
That seems fair.

Up those stairs.

Oh, you're so masterful!

I'm just going to check the horses.

Okay.

Oh!

You all right, darling?

Yes, I... I just tripped over the cat!

- Give it a kick!
- (You'll have to go.)

- (I thought he was in London all week.)
- (He was supposed to be.)

I was looking forward
to being on our own.

I know. Me, too.
I'm sorry. Now, go.

I lost tonight.

I've organised a fight in your barn
on Friday. I can't cancel now!

Jeremy. He'll be gone
tomorrow evening.

Now, get out!

Good. I mean, there's
a lot riding on it.

Go!

See you tomorrow.

Yes, except Jack might be there.

Why don't you leave him, Susie?

I've told you, Jeremy, please go!

STABLE DOOR BANGS

Bevan! Bevan!

Tack up Regent Bobby, will you.
I'll be five minutes.

Yeah, well, have a good day.

Thank you very much.

- Morning.
- Morning.

- Morning, Colonel.
- Morning.

- Nice day for it.
- Yes, splendid.

- Well, good luck.
- Thank you.

Morning, Sarge.
Didn't expect to see you here.

Well, it is no harm to show the
uniform at times like this, Rowan.

Especially when the
aristocracy's involved, isn't it?

I'll ignore that remark.

Now you just stay round here
till this lot sets off, alright?

Yes, Sarge.

No, thanks.

♪ The lions, they won't fight,

No Jack?

No. He's not coming.

Good. We stay with them for
about an hour and slip off.

We'll say Monty's gone
lame if anyone asks.

Okay.

Looks as if Jack's managed
to drag himself out after all.

Oh, no.

He looks awful. What have you
been doing to him, Susie?

I'd better go and see if he's alright.

Top that up for me, would you?

Whisky.

Jack.

Hello, Susie.

I nearly miss the hunt.
You should have woken me up.

I tried.

I'm sorry. Must be the port.

Wretched stuff
always finishes me off.

You shouldn't be riding.

There you go, sir.

Thank you, George.

Please, Jack. You look dreadful.

Oh, rubbish.

Don't fuss, Suzie. Don't fuss.

I'll be fine.

The fresh air will do me good.
Come on.

Nick, Kate's just phoned.

Can you go up to Coronation
Cottages, Artie Sneed's place?

- Is it bad news?
- I think so.

Thanks, Gina.

Heart failure.

I told him he should
be taking it easy.

We'd better get in touch
with his family.

I don't think there is any.

His wife died years ago
and they had no children.

Well, I'll phone the undertaker.

Nick!

Doctor.

What are you doing here?

I've just come round to,
wassit you know,

pay my respects to Artie like,

cos we went to school together.

Amen.

I was worrying about his fowls.

You know, cos they're
his pride and joy,

and I bet nobody's
even fed them yet.

I tell you what.
Why don't you see to them?

Yeah, I'll take them
round to my place

cos there's some foxes
round here, you know.

I know it'll be a bit of a
bother like, you know,

but that's what friends
are for, ain't it?

Let's go, anyway.

What?

Just look at the state of him.

He wouldn't notice
if a bomb went off.

Don't be ridiculous.

Are you sure you're all right?

I'm fine, darling.
Whisky's doing the trick.

Hare the dog, eh?

BUGLE

- I'll deal with that.
- You all right?

See you, Claude.

Hey! Only until the estate's
sorted out, mind.

Jack!

Jack!

If I thought I was in
any way responsible...

Nah, I think you'll find
he had too much to drink.

Jack drank like a fish,

but in twenty years hunting,
it never made him take a fall.

Is that his wife?

Susannah, yes.

Jack was a lucky man.

In some ways.

Are you sure there's no once
you want me to contact for you?

Your family?

They're all in London.

No-one locally?

I um...

haven't made any
close friends up here.

You really shouldn't
be on your own.

Thank you.

Look, why don't you
take my phone number.

You can call me
any time you want.

Thank you.

I hope everything's here.

I'm sure.

Your horses are being brought back.

Will you be able to manage?

Bevan will see to them.

I'm all right, thank you.

You've been very kind.

Mrs. Temple-Richards,
there is something else.

There'll have to be a postmortem.

A postmortem?

Without it, we can't ascertain
the cause of death.

He fell off his horse.

It may not have been
the fall that killed him.

Of course it was!
Everyone saw.

We need to be sure.
It could have been a heart attack.

Jack's heart was fine!
He was only fifty.

It's the normal procedure
in a case like this.

I'm sure everything will be
perfectly straightforward.

I'm sorry,
it's all been such a shock.

If you don't mind,
I'd like to be alone.

Of course.

I can't see Mrs. Temple-
Richards again tomorrow.

And get a statement about
her husband's condition

before he went on the hunt.

Pickled, from all accounts.

Ventress, I'd like to think
this tragedy could pass

without too much mud-slinging.

Temple-Richards was very highly thought
of round here and you know that.

Oh, yes, Sarge.

So uh... Artie Sneed has
popped his clogs at last, has he?

Oh, I can still feel his collar
in my hands even now.

Twice a week, regular as clockwork.

I thought he was a
harmless old bloke.

A petty thief of
the worse variety,

although he did calm
down once his wife died.

She was a very
demanding woman.

Well he had some nasty habits.

Cockfighting, for one.

Really?

Oh, we never caught
him at it though.

Notoriously tightknit,
the cockfighting fraternity.

Well, you have had a
busy morning, Rowan,

but not as busy as
the vicar's going to be.

Well, I can't believe
you didn't catch on.

Yeah, all right, Alf.

Why, you can see they're
fighting cocks a mile off.

Look, they've all had
their feathers trimmed.

And this one.

He's had his natural spurs cut off

and then the artificial
ones are put over.

What did you think
he was going to do?

Put them in the pot
for Sunday dinner?

Till I came up here, the only chickens
I saw were full of sage and onion.

Well, he's not here.
Shall we impound them?

Where are we going to put them?

That's true.

Hey, you don't want Blaketon to know

that you were the one who gave
'em to Claude Greengrass, do you.

What you do with them is your business.
I just want shut of them.

So where are they then,
these champions?

Oh, don't worry, they're with somebody
who really knows what they're doing.

And they're in really
fantastic condition.

Yeah, well, I'm not
too flush this week.

But I might know somebody
who's interested.

Then get down to The Bull
tomorrow night, 7 o'clock.

We'll see if we can do business.

There you go.

Thanks.

She shouldn't be left on her own.

Well, according to Gina,
she's got another man.

That's probably just gossip.

Well, I did see her with
someone else at the meet.

That doesn't mean she's
having an affair with him.

Well, so much for your morning off.

Occupational hazard.

Are you going to be late tonight?

Not tonight.

But Nick, I've been thinking...

wouldn't it make more sense
if I stayed over sometimes?

Eh?

Evening surgeries
don't finish till eight.

But the time we've cleared up,
it's gone ten before I'm home.

What you mean,
stay at James's place?

Yeah. He's offered me the
spare room any time I want.

Not all the time, obviously.

But Tuesdays is evening surgery
and Wednesdays we start early,

it's hardly worth coming home.

Well, thanks very much.

Come on, you know
what I've been like.

And I might as well not
have been here last night.

All right. At least I'll be
able to get some fishing in.

Hello.

Constable Rowan.

Have you lost something?

It could be anywhere.
I had hoped...

It's Jack's stock pin.

I thought it might have
dropped off when he fell.

Was it valuable?

It doesn't really matter.

Well, let me help you look.

It's like looking for a needle
in a haystack. Forget it.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Anyway, it's not here.
I must get back.

Could you give me a leg-up?

I do need to ask you
a couple of questions.

Call round at the house.
I must get back.

Come on, lads. Grub up!

In the hands of somebody
who knows what he's doing?!

Poor Claude. He's getting
soft in his old age. Come on.

Oh! There's a nice one
of you in the paper.

What's that?

At the meet yesterday.
It's quite a spread.

He's not exactly the
picture of health, is he?

Hey, wait a minute.

What?

He's not wearing
a stock pin, is he?

Unless there's something
significant in that?

Yeah. Yeah, there is.

Was your husband feeling
unwell yesterday morning?

Ah, I don't know.

He was asleep when I left.

Had he been drinking?

I think everyone knows that.

Yeah, sorry, but I do need to ask.

Any idea how much?

We had wine with dinner.

He had quite a bit of port.

And yesterday, I don't know.

A stirrup cup at the
meet, I supposed.

Nothing else worth mentioning?

No.

Oh, about your husband's stock pin.

Yes?

There's a picture of
him in the local paper.

He wasn't wearing it.

I know. I found it here last night.

Just as well we didn't
spend time looking for it.

I always warned him that drink
would be the death of him.

But not in the way you expected.

No.

We're a bit worried about his wife,
on her own in that big house.

Yes, Jack was always concerned
that she felt isolated up here.

I supposed I ought
to go and see her.

I think she'd appreciate it.

- Alf,
- Yeah?

...do you know him?

Uh, Jeremy Kirby. Les Kirby's son.

You know, the pork baron.

Arrogant little so-and-so.

His dad keeps him down to
earth working at the abattoir.

But he still fancies himself.

Do you think the stories about
him and Susannah are true?

She must have been bored
up here on her own.

So she married Temple-Richards
for his money then?

Well, it's been done before.

Why, what are you thinking?

Well, it just seems a bit
convenient, that's all.

But it was an accident.
Everyone saw him fall.

Well, you couldn't have
asked for more witnesses.

I wonder what she was looking for.

Did I hear the word Temple-Richards?

Er, yes, Sarge.

Well, I've just had a phone
call from the pathologist.

He's done a preliminary investigation.

And it looks like he died
from a broken neck.

Oh, is that all?

Ventress, as it happens,
there is more.

The pathologist noted an extremely high
level of alcohol in the bloodstream.

He was an old soak.
Everyone knows it.

Ventress, have you finished?

There was also a high level
of quinalbarbitone sodium

and amylobarbitone sodium.

Sleeping pills, to you two.

Susannah!

Susie, for heaven's sake,
we've got to talk!

I'll look in on Susannah.

Great.
PHONE

Oh, hang on a minute.

Hello, surgery.

Nick!

Yes, he was one of
James's private patients.

Do you want a word? He's here.

James.

Hello, Nick?

Jack Temple-Richards,

did you ever prescribe
him any sleeping pills?

Yes, I did, he had trouble
sleeping in London.

Apparently his flat was right
by a busy road. Why?

Well, the pathologist recorded

an abnormally large
amount in his bloodstream.

Not sure how much.

Jack didn't overuse them.
I didn't prescribe them often enough.

And he never took them in Yorkshire.

He always said the fresh
air knocked him out.

Was he depressed at all?

A deliberate overdose, you mean?

Not that I know of.

Anyway, Jack always struck
me as more of a shotgun man.

Right. Okay, well thanks, James.

I'll be in touch if there's
anything else we need to know.

Yeah. Bye.

Well?

Well, he certainly had
them on prescription.

Rowan, go and see his wife again.

See what she knows about them.

And tread carefully.
Don't give too much away.

Ta. Is your clock right?

Yes.

Oh, come on, come to Daddy.

Here, cop 'old of t'side.

Well the initial investigation shows
your husband died from a broken neck.

There are complications though.

Did you know he took sleeping pills?

Yes, in London.

He could never sleep, the traffic.

Well it seems that before he died,
he'd taken an exceptionally large dose.

Have you any idea why?

No. He always slept well here.

Did he take any the night before?

I don't know.

We had dinner and I went
out to see the horses.

When I came back,
he was asleep already.

You have any idea where
the bottle might be?

It could help us establish
how many were taken.

I'll take a look.

Thank you.

Sorry to trouble you.
Are you sure your clock's right?

Yes, why?

I was expecting to meet a mate of
mine in here about half an hour ago

he's not turned up.

Well, perhaps he's
found himself a bird!

Come on, son.

I think this must be them.

They were in a sponge bag.

Thank you.

Perhaps he took more
than he meant by accident.

Could be.

His drinking did make him
forgetful and muddled.

Right. Well uh...

when we get the full report back
we can decide on the next step.

The next step?

Well, there'll have to be an inquest.

I see.

Well, thank you very
much for your help.

This must be very difficult for
you under the circumstances.

I sorry I couldn't be
of more assistance.

Well, if you do think of anything else,
however small, please get in touch.

I'm sure for your husband's sake,

you want this cleared up
as quickly as possible.

Yes, thank you.

DOOR OPENS

You are in a mess, aren't you?

How many pills did
you give him, Suzie?

- You heard.
- Most of it.

I didn't mean it to happen.

- It was the only way.
- I know. I know.

Well?

Well, she didn't exactly say

she'd slipped them into
his bedtime cocoa, Sarge.

Well, I can't believe he took
that amount by accident.

Do you think it was her?

Well, we'll never know what
really happened, Rowan.

If I was you, I'd just let it go.

We've got no evidence to go on.

What about the inquest?

Well, it'll have to be mentioned.

The press are going to have a
field day with this one, Sarge.

Aye, but you've done a good job.

Close, but no coconut.

You'd best go home.

KNOCK AT DOOR

What do you want now?

They've gone, haven't they?

Them chickens of Artie's,
they've been nicked!

Morning.

It's flaming disgusting,
thieving off the dead like that.

Who did you tell I'd got 'em?

Why don't you come in, Claude?

Well it must have been you cos
I never said nowt to nobody.

I went to let them out,
and they were gone!

I thought I'd better have
a look in his notebook,

see if it can give me any
clues and it's all here.

All their weights, all his winnings.

He's been cockfighting for years
and he never even let on.

Well, you can't be too careful.

I'd give you any money you like.
It's cockfighters that's nicked 'em.

And I don't know how they
found out I'd got 'em.

Cos I never said nowt to nobody.

Why don't you stop this act
and tell me what it's about?

Here, have a look at that.

Friday 8th, nine o'clock,
south barn, Ipsley Manor.

I reckon if you and somebody
went round there

you might catch a few of 'em at it.

And I reckoned if those
birds hadn't been nicked,

you wouldn't have
told me about this.

Well, I must admit I probably wouldn't
have put two and two together so quick.

And revenge is sweet, eh?

What are you doing here?

I stayed, just to make
sure you were all right.

This is Jack's bedroom!

You can't even wait till he's cold!

- I couldn't leave you alone.
- I know exactly what you're up to.

You think you can just slide
in here and take his place.

- Well, you can't.
- Hold on a minute.

Let's get one thing straight.

It wasn't me who killed him.

Neither did I!

You haven't told the police
all the details, have you?

You wouldn't want you father to know
all your little hobbies, would you?

You'd be stuck then!

Nowhere to live, no job,
no rich mistress to keep you!

Susannah, don't be like this.

I don't want you here!!

I'm going to miss Jack, you know.

Do you find that hard to believe?

Should I?

Well, I know how our
marriage looks...

...looked, to most people.

Do you?

It's written all over their
faces at the wedding.

Jack's got his tottie,

Susannah's got her sugar daddy.

Well, they never saw us here.

You saw Jeremy leave, didn't you?

Jack and I were very happy.

Very happy.

There's no such thing
as a perfect marriage.

Look at this place.

It was a kind of a marriage,
I suppose.

And I suppose I loved him.

I certainly didn't mean to hurt him.

It's all a bit of a mess, isn't it?

I think you should
talk to Nick Rowan.

The policeman?

Do you think he'd understand?

If you're straight with him.

Prepare to lose, Kirby.

Where did you get it from?

Friends in low places, mate.

That's one of Artie's.

He doesn't need it
where he is, does he?

All right, lads?

BOTH: Yes, Sarge.

It won't be long.

BOTH: Right, Sarge.

- Do you want a sarnie?
- Yeah. Cup of tea?

CAT MIAOWS
What's that?

What?

Oh, I thought I heard something.

Alf. Alf, we're on.

Oh, I've got a stitch.

This is the police. Nobody move!

There you go.

Jeremy Kirby!

You do get about, don't you?

What's your daddy going to say?

Come on, son.

It was her tipped
you off, wasn't it?

Had to be.

She's the only person
who could have known.

Maybe you should be asking
her a few questions

instead of ruining a
bit of sporting fun.

Are we talking about
Mrs. Temple-Richards?

It was her that tipped
you off, wasn't it?

I think we could do with some tea.

If his dad finds out that
he's been cockfighting,

he'll flay him alive.

- I knew it.
- Don't count your chickens.

Ventress!

Stop that gossiping.
Get rid of that chicken.

It's under your desk!

Won't be a minute.

You and Mrs. Temple-Richards
are quite friendly, aren't you?

Not against the law, is it?

No, but it might have suited her to
have her husband out of the way.

She didn't kill him,
if that's what you mean.

He fell off his horse.

It was an accident.

But what did she do?

Look, if you're not going
to charge me, can I go?

I've got to know.
Was it her that told you?

- Evening, gentlemen.
- Evening, George.

What can I get you?

No, it's all right, thanks.

Listen George. I want you to tell
me everything you can remember

about Temple-Richards on
the morning of the hunt.

Well, he turned up late.

They were just about ready for
the off by the time he arrived.

Was he drunk then?

Well, like I said, I've never
seen Jack the worse for drink.

Although he must have had a few.

He get one of my stirrup cup,
and I had to fill his hip flask up.

Did he say how he was feeling?

Well, he did complain
about a thick head.

Hang on, George.

What did you say about his flask?

Yeah, I had to top it up
with whisky for him.

That's right, I saw you give it to him.

It wasn't among his things.
He must have dropped it.

I think that's what
she was looking for.

We'd better try and find it.

Thanks, George.

People generally stop for a nip

while they're waiting for
the hounds to find a scent.

We only stopped once or
twice before the accident,

so uh... I suggest we'll
check those spots first.

- Right.
- How are you doing?

It's great.

Okay, well, we'll take it slowly
and uh... you'll be fine.

Don't worry.
I'd trust her with my granny.

Ventress, you'll block
the drains again.

Well, did you find anything?

His hip flask, Sarge.

George topped it up at the meet.

Now the chances are,
it's got some of the same whisky

that he used for his nightcap.

Well, that's excellent.

And while we're waiting for forensics,

I suggests you go and work on
that report you promised me.

And this is not regulation
transport or dress!

Ventress, put the kettle on!

We're gonna have to
lay low for a while.

How come you didn't get charged?

You don't want to know.

What are we going to do about him?

Who?

Him who grassed us up.

Who grassed us up?

Claude Greengrass, that's who.

Susannah.
The police are on to you.

What?

It's only a matter of time
before they arrest you.

Come on. I've got the car.
We can get away.

You're crazy.

We can start again somewhere.
France, Italy!

There's something between
us, Susannah. I know there is.

You didn't mean what
you said yesterday.

It's too late.

Mrs. Temple-Richards,
can I have a word, please?

Could you take care of Regent?

Do you want to go inside?

I found a hip flask this morning which
we believe belonged to your husband.

It's gone for forensic examination
which we expect to show

your husband was drinking whisky
mixed with sleeping pills.

Now, you'll be called as a witness
at the inquest and asked about this.

Now wouldn't it be easier if you
told me what really happened?

I loved Jack dearly.

But more as a friend
than a husband.

He was very kind to me...

...and we did have
a lot in common.

But I just couldn't bear...

...making love with him.

It got so I couldn't stand
him to touch me.

But I didn't...

...want to hurt his feelings.

It seemed the easiest thing to do.

Put a couple of sleeping pills
in the whisky decanter.

He always had a nightcap.

And then he would sleep.

He must have nearly finished
it all, the morning he died.

And I assume he filled the hip flask.

And that's what you were
looking for, isn't it?

I never thought that he'd
wake up in time for the hunt.

What will happen to me?

Well, I don't know, I'm afraid.

It's not up to me.

Well, you've shown
exemplary qualities, Rowan.

Trusted your instincts,
handled it with tact.

Well done.

Sarge.

Oh, er, just one more thing, Rowan.

Apparently, your friend and mine

has been nicking game birds
and trying to flog them off.

Oh well, to be fair to
Greengrass, Sarge,

I don't think he actually
stole the birds.

Obtained them by false
pretences, perhaps.

Do I get the feeling there's a history
to this case that I don't know.

And can we make anything stick?

I don't think so, Sarge.

You're a disappointment
to me, Rowan.

A big disappointment.

And I thought I was exemplary.

Fair game, I'd say.
