information about Miss Hamblin as soon

as I had any suspicion anything concrete

to go on so you're contacted before that

before oh no no no it was just a private

have done me a lot of harm and I imagine

it's done harm already

what's the future of a large said and

you see now that you've closed

about the people that work here just

because I'm leaving are you leaving yes

the appointment came through this

morning

pleased I am Telling it I'm saving the

nor the other girl who went up with it

another girl

no there's another girl well no one from

the station

Toby Gledhill was right the threat to

the computers was Jana yes yes the virus

was just a smokescreen a tester once

they'd succeeded in hacking their way

into the reactor control would not have

a chance in hell no with the rest in the

country I managed to avert the danger

but I mean what made her take off like

that honey

deeply concerned about the future of

L'Occitane I'm sure you want

the celebration he's hoping to get a new

job

you should hear about it today would you

be leaving them no no no rusty this man

yes that night the night miss robots

tied I was there I crept up to the abbey

ruins and I saw a running into the sea

for a swim and I saw someone else as

well

who's that

mrs. Dennison

sure positive

and you've told no one else about this

is any to do

now you told me

our own special centers

figures released by the World Health

Organization indicate but in the US

alone upwards of thirty seven thousand

deaths a year can be directly or

indirectly attributed to coal dust

particles Britain's fossil fuel power

stations are responsible for a third of

the extra carbon dioxide which our

country is currently pumping into the

atmosphere the choice as they say would

seem to be yours now compare the figures

on radiation

we've seen this when will they ever

learn police sources confirmed today

that level putter the man now identified

as the Norfolk Whistler had been

interviewed but eliminated by Chief

Inspector Records and his team early in

their inquiries why they knew what type

of man they were looking for a loner

probably unmarried unsociable Neville

Potter was just such a man

had he been caught when first

interviewed the lives of one prostitute

and six innocent women could have been

saved

have we learned nothing from the auction

River fiasco and so on and so on and so

for sound murder victims are always

either prostitute who presumably deserve

what they get or innocent women who

don't we couldn't believe all that in

why not blame I sell newspapers but it's

nothing to do with the truth are the

truth yes

do you remember 79 that prostitute we

found in a bed set him prade's three

been dead for over a week Gloria Ennis

the next jolt is Gloria do you remember

what you said to me

No I said something like for God's sake

get that thing out of here I turn around

and you were standing at the door I

remember this like it was yesterday

and you said the word is body sergeant

or if you prefer victim or even deceased

what you were looking at was a woman she

was not a thing when she was alive and

she is not a thing now it was a long

time ago

yes but words stick don't they

true or false is that why you asked me

to come around no not really I wanted

some advice you're thinking of resigning

how did you guess

you're not thinking of driving like that

I

now

where do you live

father

come on I'll give you that

are you alright

I saw you the other day didn't I at the

power station

yeah

don't go in yet we'll be asking

questions are you sure you're all right

um not really

I'll go for a walk get my head

good luck

you

all right just a minute

are you doing here Oh couldn't stand it

any longer

Oneida to die yeah oh I think not quite

enough money for the taxi well I'll get

it

don't go away I won't oh great I think

that's a lot well I did water it too

much though

no it missed you so much at pine away

hmm why didn't you ring me I didn't have

time mommy popped up the road to see

mrs. B I just left an open came what you

just walked out but listen to you were

a me cam all right

washed up undertoads South Hansen she

did have you were and you informed our

flow cuz he's named task oh yeah so you

mind a little devil

really why valium Italy used to spy on

Illya robots taking their nightly swim

now kind of beam what on a couple of

hundred yards away from the caravan so

Amy can muster known about it and then a

dog lead remember that Caroline and

flick she had a dance you know what I

written go no but I've got a feeling

you're gonna tell me

you're making a bit of a mess of the

beat and what does it matter we're

polluting the whole bloody planet

let's put it out leave it till tomorrow

special right

Amy's dead she drowned suppose you know

already yes I'm I'm sorry very sorry

pengie a beer

well there's tea no coffee left um Fred

oh thanks I was burning all my pen up

records with the rest of the rubbish

there's never any use just a way to feel

important you said as much yourself did

I well I had no right to what were you

doing huh

London us both look for a job the

University unlikely to extend my grand I

can't say I blame them either

what's all the job anything on the plate

lots of money preferably Noman was

hampered Timmy

couple of social workers came a few

hours ago a place of safety order he

screamed when they took him I'll never

forget the way he looked at me whatever

happened to our caring society but I

doubt that any choice

he couldn't have stayed here

indefinitely could he why not I looked

after him for over a year but done

everything but I've got no rights

whatsoever what about her family if they

don't give a damn they haven't even been

in touch that's what makes it so unfair

so she she left nothing then no records

no papers no no diary not even a note

did that surprise you nothing about her

surprise me that's just the way she was

free spirit she got the old postcard

from time to time but that was about it

once I'd brought this lot there'll be

nothing left to show that she was ever

even here should feel sad but all I can

feel is this terrible anger anger what

about the other woman do you believe

that don't you know

sometimes on a Sunday she used to go off

saying that she was going to meet her

lover in the sand dunes I thought it was

a joke I needed to believe that when she

came back I knew she looked exultant she

was glowing with happiness so is it is

it really so important to you of this

event with Caroline even if it does turn

out to be true what you went together

the affection the friendship the the

caring for Timmy does that all go for

nothing because she chose to have a sex

life with someone else

hmmm

good evening please don't get up mr.

Copley I wonder if I could talk to you

privately from um as a priest I want to

consult you as a priest

if we are faced with a decision and

dilemma how do we know what's right our

conscience will tell us if we are

prepared to listen still small voice

like the voice of God not like Meg

conscience is the voice of God but how

can we be sure that it is in our own

voice we're hearing our own subconscious

desires I mean can we ever really break

free devices and desires of our own

hearts

yes couldn't it be our conscience just

telling us just just what we most want

to hear I haven't found it so my

conscience usually directed me against

my own desires ah what you thought were

your own desires I have found it helpful

to think of conscience as an instrument

let's say a stringed instrument the

message is in the music but if we don't

keep it in good repair and practice

regularly we get only an imperfect

response but suppose my conscience tells

me what's right but if I obey it I'm

going to hurt someone else we must do

what we know to be right and leave the

consequences to God it's very hard

sometimes if you could tell me more

specifically what is troubling you no no

I can't do that

I could give you an example suppose I

found out that someone has stolen

something from his employer if I expose

him to be sacked his family will suffer

I may feel that the firm would afford to

lose a few pounds rather than cause all

that her doing isn't people you should

speak to him then and get him to return

the money at least I can see that might

present certain practical difficulties

if it's something that couldn't be given

back we must still do what our

conscience tells us is right we cannot

always judge the consequences

we must leave the consequences to God

I see thank you for listening you've

been very helpful

I'm sure I know what to do

good evening dr. Letty

good evening sorry to bother you on your

day off but I wonder would you mind

answering a few more questions for us

than what they are doesn't it

it's about Caroline am pissed yes I knew

she had a boat yes I'm sorry to hear

what happened to her no she didn't

mention anything to me about taking it

out last night had she's done so I told

him of the visit you damn fool

apparently it was a powerful boat not in

a sea like that look good can we go

board

presumably dr. Lessing this is the same

boat you took out the evening Hillary

robot was murdered I've told you

everything I know about that evening

that's discrete when you're all there

sir offshore water tower by the power

station carelessness something we're all

prone to from time to time would you

mind telling me when you've got this

great sir

that evening that evening you told us

that at no time were you ever within

sight of the beach where Hillary robots

took her last swim but if you were near

the water town light just can't be

correct

hence what you mean by in sight oh I

suppose I could have seen the beach to

my binoculars if I'd happen to look

which I didn't you could also put ashore

on that beach these are yours I take it

almost new size 9 very similar to the

type that you put in for the church

jumble sale except of course those who

are bumbles what they sir I'm sorry I

don't see the relevance of that question

oh don't you

you had the key to dr. Glenn Hills

cottage I believe and you use that key

to gain entry on the night before his

suicide what were you looking for dr.

Lessing

just looking for my friend your lover

all right all right all right we spent

one night together two weeks before he

died he was kind

it was the first and last time I was in

love with him he knew because I told him

he wasn't in love with me I wasn't gay

not that it's any business of yours I'm

telling you this because I'd rather you

have facts from me than rumors from

other people you're obviously grubbing

around to find any sort of dirt that you

can find the miss robots know about this

relationship but what possible relevance

you are you enjoying this is this how

you get your kicks oh just answer the

question please

hmm yes Hillary knew did she ever

confront you with it no no no but she

made it clear that she knew did she ever

tell anyone else oh no the information

was too valuable to waste as she was

saving it in case she needed to use it

wish you're blackmailing me No

No

lunch mr. gently

she's done it Sufi she's had the baby

half an hour ago wonderful

congratulations thank you well come on

is it a boy or girl

didn't I say sorry it's a little girl

Stella Louise we're calling a Louise

after Susie's mother yeah well thanks

for letting me know

now give him my regards won't you yes I

will I will thank you

oh good afternoon sir good afternoon

yes they're waiting for the library

thank you I'm just making coffee would

you be requiring sandwiches sir no still

some beef left or I could rustle up some

cheese for never just coffee thinking

just coffee

ah I don't perhaps no oh I guess because

giving you something yes thank you God

well to sit down good that's all right

he's cleared well

oh well I managed to have a word with

Pascoe he seems to believe the official

line unwise boat trip together fuel

explosion probably caused by collision

with an unknown vessel

I didn't think he'll have any trouble

with him so that's nothing incriminating

in the caravan burned a lot good of you

to do this for us Adam much appreciated

I still think you would have put

inspector Ricard's in the picture

terrorism hardly his cup of tea seems to

be coming around to the point of view

that it was out to sailors that murdered

miss robots where's the motive robots

could have suspected antlered after all

she was acting administrative officer

she was intelligent conscientious /

conscientious didn't you say man yes she

was conscientious and Amy can quarrel

with robots threatened her it would suit

you to resolve this case as soon as

possible but if I were the investigating

officer the robots fire would stay open

let us give thanks that you aren't no

people found nothing in his amp his

house clean no radio no documents if she

did intend to do a bunk she cleared out

before she left

hmm their own people could have killed

them both once the Lark circum plan

failed they were expendable to fake an

accident would have been a sensible

course I'd have done the same thing you

never suspected miss Adler yeah did you

ever see the other girl Amy once I think

blonde dyed hair rather pretty face she

was carrying a child

hardly terrorist material a runner

idealistic animal-rights Green an

accursed 10 a penny expendable he really

believed she would have abandoned her

child a jar why not

that fella could the doctor didn't pass

go if you ask me I charted a pretty low

quality with his mother nature

essentially hated robots and could have

murdered her because he once pushed her

child you'll keep you dance to yourself

Adam but doesn't need say when I say it

your coffee sir time's up yes thank you

what about the rest of them I think you

can leave into us by the way there be no

reports of a collision there wouldn't be

if their own people ran them down and

the alternative one of our ships is that

what you're saying

thankfully the results the same either

way never really grasped or they're

starting do they no truth no stability

blown like paper with every wind wild

idea II think worth dying for

maybe because they want to die like if

you can't cope with living look for a

cause you can convince yourself is worth

dying from

making sure we actually leave the

premises how do they find this places

rent them borrow them or just break in

well it probably belongs to one of their

own cute

now they'll disappear check the

fingerprint dust on the furniture if

they were never there you know one thing

wrong there never anything physical

between alien Caroline no so you think

we still have a killer alive in the

neighborhood don't you

are you alone yes

I'm interrupting obviously that doesn't

mean I don't welcome an interruption

I only mark typing errors thank you I

hope it wasn't too much for sure no no I

enjoyed it

you didn't come just to return these no

Alice I have to talk to you you are

talking to him those two girls

Amy and Caroline people are saying they

killed Hilary robots is that what you

believe

no oh these are wonderful Thanks

oh she thank you for the flowers by the

way that her favorite how's she doing

she's fine she's just fine I'm baby

still she's great she was asleep another

sitter but well I'm sorry to say that it

looks like we won't be making an arrest

with a livery robot murder after all oh

well we've been through it all and all

you haven't you seem to point to Carol

Ann fewer than Amy cam and of course

they're both dead well what about lycium

I thought he was a prime suspect yeah

well that's right but we spoke to the

coast guard and he was where he said he

was and Meg Denison well possibly but

it's hardly the strongest motive in the

world

jealousy after all this time you'd have

to be talking about obsession and she

doesn't strike he was it particularly

obsessive personality I'm not sure I

agree with your brother

no I don't see it it's got to be the two

girls on the boat teddy

you're right about one thing the

murderer was a woman a woman who knew

how the Whistler killed who knew where

Hilary robots will be shortly after 9

o'clock who failed to provide you with a

feasible alibi and you where to find

those trainers you told records you were

until 9:30 but you weren't were you

is that what you came to say I know you

can explain it's ridiculous even to ask

ask what you weren't here at 9 o'clock I

was I needed to see you all the lights

were on

no record play I thought you told

records you were home all evening you

just went into the garden for a bit I

had your key remember you gave me one I

let myself in I called but you didn't

answer I thought what about the Whistler

weren't you frightened walking over the

headland alone

you're frightened aren't you only what

I'm thinking of one little lie to the

police is that all you're worried about

it

Alice I know you're shielding him no no

I'm not

were you with him when he killed her

did you help him no no I didn't do that

I wanted to do it I didn't help anyone

and no one helped me I planned it alone

and I did it alone it took courage but

less than I'd imagined somehow she died

very quickly and very easily

you're shielding him and then I threw

the picture through Hillary's window

that way it looked like an act of

vandalism hatred and what about the

others the other people innocent

suspects what about then well I made

sure of getting Ryan an alibi

that's what's there not you make you

were never a real suspect oh I felt like

one when regard started questioning me I

felt like one and why Alice why did you

do it what for she was blackmailing Alex

no research data he refused to publish

until his new appointment had been

confirmed she could have destroyed his

whole career besides I owed him a death

what now

call records or daar leash of course

they won't be able to prove any of this

it'll be your word against mine

what have you decided I know you weren't

good

I have to tell

you let those girls be blamed for the

murder

I have to but I'd rather you did can

just give me into tomorrow just to sort

a few things I want to know why you did

it I shall say she was taking him away

from me and they'll see me as a

repressed menopausal one temporarily

deranged unnatural affection repressed

sexuality that's how men talk about

women like me oh this will do good no

thanks not since come on no whiskey

makes me sick you need it no drink it

it's the best remedy

no you're quite right Meg it was never

your drink I'll make us some coffee and

then I'll walk back with you

they're moving so much better yes the

shoulder still hurts a bit but it's

improving no more pain everyone's

terribly grateful for all you're doing

for the blames how many people would

take on an eccentric artist with four

children as a caretaker well I'm doing

him the favor and a few weeks time we

would probably argue I should be paying

him for looking after

what day is it Thursday

how long another unfinished story does

Alex except do you think that Alice

killed her he knows the truth it doesn't

mean to say you look at MIT food he

hardly spoke at the funeral I haven't

talked about Alice and the murder since

I'm the open verdict that the inquest

means her suicide is well it's an

unproven

everything rested on my story I'm not

very likely tale of a woman who has made

trouble before

I'm

I'm selling up in the marina thinking

you're buying Montes cottage

here's my sort of place still

it's only sold about Lucy

maybe that's the sort of soil my roots

me

you
