fashion yes but I wouldn't describe him

as a manic

depressive Excuse

me

yes what

already tell them no comment nothing to

say

well

thanks so what was he

like I don't think he was depressed he

was young idealistic not we

all why did he get himself though

he must have been committed to the work

he was doing here what was he a a

physicist yeah he in the

statistician working in the field of

nuclear

safety is that what they were doing

here something to do with cutting out

human era by Advanced Computer control

of the

[Music]

[Music]

and quiet but I need to talk to

you we been come out thanks

I wouldn't have come if there was anyone

else I could discuss it with but there

isn't even Amy

[Applause]

your mother's

worried I know oh not the old worry

radiation Vengeance of God it's all

these murders now this suicide at your

power

station yeah I've tried to tell her it's

all coincidence

but still hav caught him then the

Whistler

no I've all been interviewed by the

police everyone who knew

her makes you start looking at people

differently

everyone's talking about motives and

aliis someone asks you a simple favor

and you begin to wonder

why what sort of

favor oh anything um covering for them

if they can't make a shift that sort of

thing well it all comes down to how you

feel about lying I

suppose suppose you suspected someone

was lying to you and you cared about

that person well it doesn't matter you

must get to the truth

what kind of

Lies oh nothing serious um say a story

about their

family who is this person son oh

nobody it's just a hypothetical

question have you got any prizes in line

this year what after of the spring we've

had no

chance uh lucky to get a mention you own

prizes

you'll uh be bringing her home to tea

one day

soon this young lady you've just met oh

Caroline yes yes of course your mother

will like that you know how she

fusses means live yes

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

he wanted to help you with this

yes well didn't that strike you as

hard a research physicist offering to

join the opposition h i was flattered

too I mean that it come to me first it's

not as if pan up has made much of an

impact not

really even the initials were a bit of a

mistake I wanted something that people

would remember something with a bite to

it but pan up well it's a bit of a laugh

isn't

it anyway the business with Toby never

came to anything we were on the beach

When Miss robots appeared hardly wearing

a stitch she just smiled at him and

invited him back to her Cottage it was

weird

and he went like a lamb to the

slaughter have you told the police about

this didn't seem important that is for

them to judge they've already given me a

going over about her because of that

Lial

action oh and another thing I didn't

understand they took away our dog lead

an old one hanging up behind the door

the dog went off months ago what did

they want with the

lead did you he Toby after that not

until last night he came around to the

Caravan about 10: a bit drunk Timmy had

just gone to sleep he kept shouting and

waking him up was he angry no just

exuberant we shared a bottle of wine and

generally put the world to

write any idea what was on his mind he

said Miss robarts had talked to him

about his job put pressure on him to

stay what sort of pressure I don't know

know didn't

say black

man the police will need to be told why

is it really going to help them so look

you're suggesting that Hillary robots

was blackmailing Toby into staying on at

the power station I never said that you

didn't have to

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

each reactor comprises

26,4 188 fuel Elements which stay inside

buying it but she beat him to it when

was that oh about 2 weeks ago didn't she

tell you uh I probably wasn't listening

what's terrible about Dr glil on top of

these murders

yes I mean you've no idea how much extra

work it's meant for us here in our stabs

or police wantan files and addresses

never knows what yesterday they asked

for Toby Gill's file and where did it

eventually turn up the director's office

never signed out how are we to know you

won't tell about this will you not even

miss amlet of course not Mrs Simpson had

absolutely kill me

[Music]

how's your wife oh still pregnant still

with

Mommy oh we've had an identification of

the shoe print found by Hillary robot's

B really yeah it was a

bumble like thisen size nine right

foot J I'm sure I've seen a pair like

this

recently up head on Whose Feet

Don't yes I do it was the church jumble

collection up at the old rectory when

was that when I first came up you took

some stuff you all recory that's Mrs

Dennison isn't it

yes there's something I ought to mention

about her I don't know if you remember

but she was the teacher at the center of

that race Row in London three years ago

yes yes I remember that well it won't be

an easy interview that's all I'm saying

oh really

W

see I haven't had lemon curd since I was

a child lemon curd and gingerbread men

my mother used to make them how

wonderful mine spent the least possible

time in the kitchen she was a terrible

cook was criticized by my

father he eventually paid a local woman

to come in and cook for

us yours was a happy childhood of

course not much money but plenty of

Love enough of that for the first 10

years and hardly anything else

matters no

love nothing matters

I can't stop thinking about

Toby yes it's a terrible waste he was

very

bright

yes he could also be a pain of

course it's not going to help Alex any

of

this I mean it might damage his chances

for the new

job I don't suppose you're prove of my

brother's sort of ambition do you it's

not just for him the whole of the

nuclear power industry is in turmoil

they need someone like Alex they need

someone who's got his strength and his

ambition to pull everything together and

restore

morale yes

sorry is my hobby

horse what's the matter

I'm not looking forward to the police

questioning me about Hillary's death

why I should have to tell them that I

met her before I came

here you didn't mention that

no Martin knew her before we were

married she was an old girlfriend I

think we met her one evening at the

theater was obviously been keen on

her her father was Peter robard remember

should I well he was in the papers lot

at one time parties Charities that sort

of thing he made a lot of money and

Plastics after the

war and his business went bust and he

lost

everything you didn't like her did

you not much

no but you're not going to be foolish

enough to say so to the

police I remember you telling me once

that at the heart of everything there

isn't love with cruelty do you

remember did

I there now these can

call I'm into security oh hello um I I'm

calling to inquire about the possibility

of tracing someone UK or abroad uh in

this is the sort of thing we're looking

for well we did have a pair of those

yes shoes are always kept in this

box how odd you you don't happen to

remember who brought them in do you yes

smes Lingham from the power station they

were almost new really when was

these oh about a week ago he brought

several things I remember he'd been

Tiding out the boat it didn't strike you

as hard did it that the trainers were in

such good condition

no he did say they weren't half as

comfortable as they looked he said that

didn't

he so last Sunday night the night M

robots was murdered you were here all

evening you didn't take the coping to n

no the car broke down I went around to

the garage about 6:30 to get it out and

bring it around to the front of the

house but by the time I'd got them

packed up and ready to leave it wouldn't

restart what time would that have been

oh about 7:15 there abouts I ran Mr

Sparks and asked him to take them in in

his taxi what you rang the taxi straight

away you didn't wait to try and find out

what was wrong with the car yourself

there wasn't time not that I'm a

mechanic it was just luck that Mr Sparks

could take them in and all this was what

3/4 of an hour before you needed to

leave have you ever tried to get two

elderly people off on an indefinite stay

did you leave the car unlocked when you

went in to get them yes H you're not

suggesting that and it was

sabotaged well that would be a little

fanciful wouldn't it Mrs

Dennison car's all right now though is

it yes started first thing in the

morning strange but it happens yes I

suppose it does thank

you what you think Mr

Denson um Goodbye Oh one moment Mrs

Dennison um what is surpris you to know

that Mr Sparks rang you at 9:30 on

Sunday night just to let you know that

the copies were safely on their way but

um but he got no

reply oh oh I must have been out in the

garden yes it was a beautiful calm

Moonlight night I remember in the garden

what with the Whistler at large he kills

out in the open never near a

house and you went no further than the

garden I went no further than the

garden and yet you didn't he the phone

it's a large garden but it was a quiet

night Mrs

Dennison you said so

[Music]

yourself well thanks for your help

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

she's lying about that evening you know

sir Mrs is

Dennis she used to be a teacher in

London teachers shouldn't lie should

they jumo

afternoon good afternoon she's been sold

is she Oh Yes sold this one a couple of

weeks

ago not the prettiest certainly with all

the power you could wish

for dazzles fuel by The Tackle SE go too

the ganet we turn to call

it now you're well off without this one

but we've got plenty of others there if

you're interested oh no I'm not really a

sailor nor was Nelson

so I've been

told neither I'm sad to say is her new

owner girl from the Power Station blonde

rather

goodlooking but not much of a sailor

no leather soles granny knots the usual

certainly knew what she wanted though

really oh very much so extra fuel tanks

full mechanical overhaul VHF the lock

cash on the nail he's complaining

[Music]

no no my treat no come please no I

wouldn't dream of

it cheers

cheers this is a perfect place is it

until the plans go in for the new Marina

really no I'm only

joking it's bound happen one day

though we turn the world into a

Wilderness and yet we have the nerve to

call it

peace that's her over

there that's the girl who's bought

seagull to

[Music]

everything all right

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

now then look at this one now there's

almost something too neat about it the

way the clothes are neatly folded left

of the side even the cut on the forehead

looks different what if forensic said

well they're hedging their bets you know

the balance of probabilities would

suggest blah blah blah so what are you

saying what if the murderer of Hillary

robart is not the Whistler but somebody

totally different somebody with a real

motive for killing her and now they're

trying to add this murder to the

whistler's list of crimes then how would

they know the M Mo the whistler's

trademarks well let's think about it

let's see who's got a motive Ryan blay

for instance um right now can you

remember that dinner party at the mays

what stage of his account miles Lingham

had reached when Blay's daughter came in

Theresa well he was describing the

bodies he founded if I remember well

there's every reason to believe that she

heard about the cut on the forehead and

the pubic hair yeah but what she told

her father about it about the hair a

girl like that oh come on you're 60

years out of date you go in any

Secondary School you hear things you

can't believe so what you're saying that

if it wasn't a Whistler it was someone

who knew the whistler's methods down to

the Last Detail

exactly you op for blany you're also

going to have to prove he destroyed his

own painting I can't seem him doing that

well from what I saw it wasn't anything

particularly special it was he and then

of course if you believe Miss mayor your

case against blay collapses

anyway do you want

uh no no thanks I'm very po

good I mean she claims she saw him at

his Cottage at 945 by which time it was

already

drunk the victim's hair was damp when I

found her which suggests that she died

after a swim not before

it there's no way he could have

committed the murder at 9:15 and then

being back home within half an hour not

without a vehicle which of course we

know he doesn't have what about a

bicycle has he got a

bike but the type was in he had to Pedal

along the shingle that would have taken

him twice as long as war

game let's go in the other

room well when I come to arrest somebody

for this crime and I'm convinced I will

I hope it doesn't have to be Ryan blay

those kids have suffered enough

already but no one had a stronger motive

than him he hated robots he hated us so

much I don't think he could have conce

it even if he tried but he didn't

Child by the way did um Neil Pas get in

touch with you yes and if my hunch is

right he's another strong Contender

robots was suing him wasn't she well

that brings us back to the question of

the trademarks how would someone like

Neil Pasco have known about them well I

can't guarantee that every officer on

the case has been totally discreet Pasco

drinks in the local pubs he might have

picked something

up

supposition he told you that Hillary

robots was putting pressure on Toby rill

she might have also been putting

pressure on Alex mayor well if she was

she certainly wasn't using their

relationship was blackmail neither of

them were married they weren't deceiving

anyone they weren't causing a public

Scandal and I can't see Alex mayor being

forced to do anything he didn't want

well I have not crossed him off my list

yet excuse

me

dog uh yes of course hold on beant

yeah well go

on send a WPC I'll be right

over it's Theresa blay Something's

Happened to her I better get over there

[Music]

you got my message then yeah how soon

can you make it till this afterno well

can't you get needle to keep an eye on

the child Timmy his name is Timmy

no not until later we're out

shopping why the change of

plan Alex are you still

there I need to see you is that too

difficult to

understand no no of course

not look I'll get away as soon as I can

between 2:30 and 3 is that right usual

players yeah I've got to go bye

six deaths now but with this suicide

they're trying to tell us there's

nothing to do with it to be glad Hill

didn't kill anyone that's all to do with

that par station the evil of a place

like that what about your newsletter

can't you do something instead of just

talk sorry Mr

Mitchell I'm so sorry

can I come in of

Cl all right

fine you don't look very

well I'll be down in a minute

dad all right

coffee for the workers oh T thanks very

much I love all right

cheers how did you discover that Hillary

robots had been murdered I saw the

police cars passing didn't I cycled up

and waited by the gate soon as they

returned ask them what was

up you seem to have an extraordinary

talent for extracting information from

the police well I know most of them you

see the the local Lads anyway they often

drink in here don't they darts

Skittles I asked them who was dead and

they told me I'm mean I know a mort van

when I see one who exactly was it told

you that ah well couldn't say could I

mean one policeman looks very much like

another so they tell me why did you ring

Ryan blay well why not when you got news

it's human nature to pass it on to an

interested party do you know anything

about a painting that Ryan blay did of

Hillary robot oh that of course we do

George let him hang it here for a while

Dar s what was Dar about that evil Vil

picture If Ever I saw one I knew it

would bring bad luck I said so at the

time it was a picture Doris pictures

can't be evil evil is what is done by

people and what is thought by people

George and that picture came out of evil

thoughts was the painting for sale n no

not that one I want them all to look at

it that's what he said tell you one

person who did see it though ill robots

when when was that oh the evening after

he brought it in she just stood and

stared everyone was watching of course

wondering what she was going to do then

she turned walked back to the bar and

said she changed don't mind about

drinking here not exactly popular in the

district e not too popular in this pup

anyway she was doing all she could to

get Blain out of the cottage instead I'm

sorry she's dead woman you have to be

don't you was that the last time you saw

her well it's the last time George saw

her I saw her Sunday afternoon out by

Neil pasco's Caravan with Neil and Amy

when I was delivering the parish

magazines what time was that then I

deliver all the parish magazines yeah

parish magazine when you saw Hill

robarts with Neil Pasco and Amy what

time would that have been oh about 2:30

than you and what were they doing huh

standing there while she shouted at them

not the kind of words you'd expect to

hear on a Sunday either poor Neil he

looks so miserable I had to say

something to cheer him up what was

that I said she was a vicious

evil-minded old cow and someday someone

would do her in don't leave it out Doris

well I wasn't far wrong was I anyway

nothing happened she just got in her car

and drive away and was that the last

time you saw her yeah I did uh hear her

later I was posting a magazine through a

letter box and she was arguing with

someone inside who is a man or a woman

don't know it could have been either I
