Oh.

I want to reserve a seat in the plane leaving tomorrow morning for Hamburg.

I'm a bit tired. I think I've got to my bed.

No?

No.

There's a lot of muckers up in Purley Wood.

Frank and I went for a walk there yesterday. Should give them a try.

And there'll be a lot more in Bavaria.

Thank you.

with occasional showers.

Now, let's go over to Biggles, our iron...

No

signs of balance on the body as far as we can determine, but we'll need a lab

report on the stomach contents and what we're arranging for.

Transfer to lab.

He's Rowena Bain, Three Church Street.

What's that?

Mozart?

Sounds like... Palastrini.

Misa Papai Marcelli. Our church choral society sang it once. Sounds like a

dish.

Why is it still playing?

The latest model.

Peaceful way to commit suicide.

Thought that was against your religion.

Is that Monday?

Eh? The composer?

Not the day of the week.

Palestrina. This is a death, not a concert.

Get that dusted for prints. Get it switched off.

The

different

here is that you people make money, we earn money.

Is that coming from a solicitor? I said to him, we don't charge for a minute.

You just left my house, Ernest.

Well, I've got a couple that might be interested.

Professional types.

I'll be in touch.

Well, I must be away. Showing another client.

15 Swanson Street.

Don't try to sell that place.

If I get paid what a solicitor gets paid, the number of folk I've shown

15 bloody Swanson Street.

I'll see you before you disappear off to Germany.

All the best. Bye, Frank.

You'll have to come out to Munich for a holiday.

Bring Agnes.

I don't want to be a hands -full.

Cut me for a ruin.

What do you make of that?

Toadstools.

I know what they are.

Why did you pick them?

It's produce.

To do what with? Sell to the angels.

She probably died only minutes before she was found.

While in coma.

Bottles marked Trithodon.

A barbiturate.

Antidepressants. Good to have you.

Could it be anything more sinister?

That I can't tell you until we know our stomach contents.

I know one thing.

Poisonous fungi don't usually kill people so peacefully.

They may not necessarily be poisonous.

Do you want to try them?

It doesn't make sense.

Why pick a basket of mushrooms before topping yourself?

Who knows what goes through a suicide's mind?

A neighbour of ours once spent three days spring cleaning.

then impaled herself with a knife in the bedroom.

And there was plenty of blood, not a speck of dust anyway.

Stop!

The verse!

This might be just a coincidence, but, eh...

Which one of you is Maurice Bain?

I am.

Please.

Do you know anyone called Rowena?

Yes, my wife's called Rowena. Is that hers?

Yes, what's happened?

Do you know why she went to Pardewood, in the back of here?

Yeah, she went to pick mushrooms. I told her they were there.

You done it for trespassing?

Your wife's been found dead, Mr Bain.

Anything else?

Another copy, please.

I'm supposed to be meeting my sister here. She hasn't turned up. Do you have

telephone? Yes, there's a public one just down there.

One more day at this place and I'm free. I envy you. I'm all working for other

people. What about Morris?

When we get to Germany, he'll be working for me.

Rowena was interested in fungi like some people are interested in flowers.

Are you moving somewhere?

Germany. I'm taking over a country in Munich.

I was brought up in Bremen in northern Germany. My father was in the forces.

Neither of you have a cigarette, I suppose.

No. Sorry.

I've got this heart condition. I've given up. I could... Oh, I could do with

just now.

Yes, we're going to run it together, the three of us.

My stepdaughter, Carol.

Rowena and I.

Was your wife looking forward to the move?

Yes.

What's so special about the poems of Mary Webb?

Rowena's favourite poet, Rowena, was born in Shrewsbury.

Did you have any favourite music?

She liked lots.

Why? What about... Did you like... Palestrina?

Musa Papai Marcelli?

Yeah, if it's that choral music. She played that all the time.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Look.

I'm sorry, but my wife died this morning.

I've got the police with me at the moment, so if you don't mind.

Thank you.

Robina Karopoulos, she made an appointment for two o 'clock today.

Can we borrow the diary?

Yes, of course.

I should tell you that my wife did have a history of depression. You can check

that with our doctor, Dr Somerville, on St Andrew's Road.

I would like to break the news to her privately, if you don't mind. Yeah.

What do you make of that?

Chiropractic, 2pm today.

You don't write today unless you make the appointment today.

Hello? Morris, it's Pam.

I've been hanging around almost an hour waiting for Rowena. What's happened to

her?

Hmm?

Oh!

I don't believe it. I've come straight round.

Morris and I go back a long way.

He used to work for his uncle before he took over the firm.

Paid everybody off except me.

Contracting's cheaper.

This job's just a favour he's doing for a minister friend of his.

Did you know Regina well?

Quite well.

She was a bit of an oddball.

You and Morris were here all morning?

Oh, except for an hour or so. Morris asked me to go into town and pick up his

air tickets for him.

For Germany.

Could be Hamdell. Worst time for him.

Must feel hellish.

She rang me this morning.

She was excited.

Looking forward to going to Munich. I was going to help her choose clothes

afternoon. Mum could get depressed quickly.

Not that quickly.

I know my sister.

Over a period of days, maybe.

She was really happy?

She wasn't about to go out and commit suicide.

That's what the police say.

Maybe. Deep down, she didn't want to go to Munich.

She'd have told me, you stupid girl.

Pam, don't get started.

You'll both still be going, I suppose.

Yeah, it's too late not to.

Auntie Pam, don't talk as if we're responsible.

Did I?

I wasn't aware.

That's been our past, kid.

You go and see that chiropodist.

That neighbour I was telling you about, sir. She went out and had her hair done

before she killed herself.

Well, here's a different thing.

By the way, you come back and get me.

What kind of trees were in the woods?

The usual kind.

Deciduous or coniferous?

Um... I'm not sure.

But? Hazel?

Well, I'm not big on trees. I'm more interested in these things.

In order to identify species, it helps to know where the body fruited.

Whether the soil was rocky or acid.

What species of tree it grew near or under.

Whether it grew on soil.

Or manure.

I mean, to me, a mushroom's something you fry with bacon.

This one's death cap.

Death?

The most deadly species of fungi known.

To be absolutely sure about a lot of these, I'd have to put the spores under

microscope.

Why is that basket divided?

Those are edible.

Those aren't.

I mean, you can eat that.

That's sulphur polypore.

Chicken of the woods.

Try the piece. No, I won't, thanks.

Why are some of them wrapped up in little packages?

To keep them fresh for analysis.

This lady was a serious mycologist.

Thanks, Professor.

You've told me all I want to know.

You don't make an appointment here for all this.

Go picking mushrooms for analysis and then do yourself in. Her neighbour did a

score of illogical things.

If you mention that bam -pot neighbour of yours once more, you'll be joining

her. This is

Mrs Fleming, Rowena Bain's sister.

Do you see our target? Yes. How do you do?

Hi. Hello.

Perhaps you'd care to repeat what you've just told me.

My sister didn't commit suicide.

Oh? She phoned me at nine o 'clock this morning.

She was excited at the prospect of going to Germany.

She didn't kill herself.

I see.

They're lovers.

Morris and Carol.

How do you know?

I know.

Just knowing's not good enough for us.

Morris was only Rowena's common -law husband.

Carol's no blood relation. She wasn't even his stepdaughter.

Has he actually seen them...? They didn't perform in front of me, if that's

you mean.

What happened to Mrs Bean's first husband?

There wasn't one.

Carol was illegitimate.

Rowena brought her up single -handed. That is, until she met Morris eight

ago. Did Rowena know they were lovers?

Rowena wouldn't have suspected anything.

Not unless it was put right in front of her.

I don't think she'd had much experience of men, not since she got Carol.

Once again, how do you know?

From little things.

And now they're free to go off to their love nest in Germany.

You can stop them, can't you?

You've got to eat.

Jean, why do you always drag up holidays when I'm in a case?

Well, when are you anything else?

Look, I'll take the leave Owen to make when I've got a breathing space.

When will that be?

It's October already.

We just moved house. That's a kind of a break.

For you it was. It was hardly a rest for me.

Jean, this is an important day for us.

It's when we find out how Rowena Bain died.

Maybe she died through being stuck at home all summer.

Come on.

It's impossible.

You have the lab report on her stomach contents if you don't believe me.

It's as classic a case of suicide as I've come across.

Could the barbiturates have been dissolved in her tea without her

That quantity?

She'd have noticed the taste.

No suicide note. Only 30 % of suicides leave notes.

When I want statistics, I'll ask for them.

Could she have been forced to drink the tea against her will? There is no way

you can murder someone by forcing them to drink without leaving physical signs.

Such as?

Bruising, scratches, evidence that she'd been held against her will.

There'd also be spillage on her clothes.

There was none.

Not even Spilsbury, pardon the pun, could have made murder out of this one.

He got her to that wood on purpose.

I know it.

And he got rid of Frank Sweeney for an hour.

He would have been seen.

She wasn't.

Until it was too late.

He could have passed himself off as one of the shooting party.

He'd have to have known where to find her.

He'd have to have been armed with a book and a 3D player to set the scene off

with suicide.

On top of getting her to drink the tea.

It's impossible.

You're saying it couldn't be done?

She died too calmly.

Michael, when I was a kid, I was taken to a circus over there.

There was a man in red livery on a big horse, surrounded by other fellas in

white robes.

Suddenly, he jumped down, disappeared.

I couldn't see how it was done, but my old man did, and he was only a tram

driver.

Well, how was it then?

There was a trick in it.

That's... How long do you work for me?

I'm the left of the gold watch.

Well, what do I need 20 grand for?

Buy that new car.

Beg Agnes for a holiday.

There's anything I can do for you, Marge.

Yeah, well, I can't buy my health back with it.

Or Rowena.

You drink too much beer for a man with a dicky heart.

I'm saying that for the last time.

Well, if it is the last time, it's worth doing the job.

Hi, guys.

I've got three guesses.

Seconds, I'm still bothered. It's wasting drinking time.

What are you having? I've just sold 15 Thronson Street.

What's the matter?

Somebody died.

Yes, yes.

Oh.

Like it worked so soon?

Helps to keep busy.

It's my last day.

German.

Is that a hard language to learn?

Not really.

Oh, well, you'll have more to practice with.

I suppose he's fluent.

When are you going to Munich?

Shortly after the funeral.

See, it's just that, um... We're unhappy about some things about your mother's

death.

For instance, why make an appointment with a chiropodist the day she killed

herself?

Why go and pick mushrooms?

Why make an arrangement to see her sister?

Mum was like one of those Russian babushka dolls.

You know?

There's always another inside.

You can never fathom her. She did strange things.

Did you know your mother had barbiturates?

Did I know?

She'd been on them for years.

She had cupboards full. We kept telling her to throw them out.

Did you see her make a flask of tea yesterday morning?

I was in bed when she left.

Why these questions?

What time did you get in here for work?

Ten o 'clock.

I said... Were you and Morris lovers?

No. It's my stepfather.

Not technically.

He lived with Mum as her husband.

Did you feel any resentment about him being a stepfather? I mean, these things

happen. I was 17 when he came to live with us.

Old enough.

Excuse me.

I have customers to serve.

You were a bit blunt with her.

I haven't started yet.

Thank you.

I have an appointment with the lady. I'll see you later.

Hello?

Nice place, eh?

Got the fishing right?

I own all this.

My second husband left it to me.

Your second?

Your sister never even got married once?

You're always very different.

Rowena went to boarding school and I didn't.

She was always the academic one.

What brought you to Scotland?

My parents.

Dad was a doctor.

Rowena's house... That was the family home.

He left it to her.

She was always his favorite.

Ah, well, you've done all right.

I think everyone should marry three times.

First time for fun.

Second time for the meaningful relationship. And third time for money.

I skip the meaningful relationship.

He said you had some extra information for me.

Do you know how Reena died yet?

An overdose.

Harbiturates. Her forensic department say it was suicide.

Do you believe them?

I'm sticking my neck out.

Not easy.

Well, I'll make it easier.

It's about Maurice's first wife.

I think he may have murdered her as well.

Always throw the small ones back.

Her name was Leslie, maiden name Ringwald.

She was a dancer.

Local beauty queen from Blackpool, all they could on their brain.

She was an end -of -year show would be better.

She married her, brought her home to Glasgow.

She disappeared.

He said she ran off with a teacher from Australia called Miller. What makes you

so sure he murdered her?

He bought her a dress shop, set her up.

She wasn't a businesswoman and the shop failed.

After that, she began having affairs with other men, taunting him. He wanted

of her.

Still no evidence.

How much do you people need?

Why do you think he never married my sister?

Because he never got divorced.

He made no attempt to find her, and she made no attempt to find him.

Did you find that odd?

Did Rowena tell you all this?

We used to joke about it. Then the joking stopped.

Rowena became convinced.

When did she disappear?

Autumn of 1980, October, November.

He'd moved in with Rowena by Christmas.

If you're right, what has he done with the body?

He's a builder.

There's a house called La Manta, Islet Hall Avenue. Morris owned it.

He was extending it up Woodside with every which way he could for Leslie.

When she disappeared, he sold it.

Would you care for some money?

No, no way.

I've got to get back.

Do you believe they'll never relax and enjoy themselves?

I find the two don't make them. Well,

I don't see what more I can tell you.

This isn't about Rowena.

It's about your first wife, Leslie.

I believe she'd been missing for eight years.

She ran off with an Australian.

Where to?

Australia, I imagine.

Did you make no attempt to contact her to get a divorce?

Well, our marriage was at an end.

I might have done in time.

And she never contacted you again, then?

Isn't that a bit strange?

Not if you knew Leslie.

You have business records for October, November 1980.

Building work.

No, they've been destroyed.

What about Lamarche?

I'm sorry.

I have a heart condition, I told you. Angina.

I have to avoid stress.

Help yourself.

What is your relationship with Carol?

There isn't one.

Not of that kind.

I know the things you asked her.

She's Ruina's daughter.

I wouldn't be carrying on with her. Not on the same roof.

That happens.

I know who's been taking...

Yeah, Doctor, quick!

He's been in there ten minutes.

He's all right, just a bit tired.

Angina gets sufferers like that.

I'd go easy on him for a bit.

How long is a vet?

I'd put off interviewing him tonight.

Then just go very easy.

That's great.

Otherwise, you might not have a suspect.

Great God, our Father, you were able to turn the shadow of even this death into

the brightness of a brand new morning.

You were able to break through the silence and the doubt.

Speak to us in our shock and our loneliness.

Gracious. spirit of peace.

Come alive within our hearts and our experience.

Make your presence more real than our sorrow.

Cast out our fear.

Let not our hearts be troubled.

Let not our hearts be troubled.

For we ask it through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

It's good of you not to mind.

Just as long as you put it all back.

This is to show the kids, when they grow up.

Just in case you do find a body.

He's like a schoolboy.

Heavenly Father, help us to be content to release our sister, Rowena,

into your care and keeping.

May the blessing of the Almighty God, Father, Son, the Holy Spirit,

be with us all, now and evermore.

Amen.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in the sure and certain hope

that we will all meet in the life hereafter.

But what we... This has been a horror.

Well, I just thought I'd let you know we're doing our best to get in touch

your wife in Australia.

Good luck.

We don't intend to give up.

Why don't you just leave him alone?

Do you want to kill him?

You've nearly done that once already.

Are you selling the house, Monty?

No, we're letting it, in case you want to come back.

We're keeping the furniture.

I can remember when Rowena bought this table at auction.

She was very fond of it.

Yeah, it's a monstrous old thing, isn't it?

More sherry, probably.

Why don't you go the whole hog and celebrate?

There's no need for that.

Rowena didn't commit suicide.

Auntie Pam, not here.

Where, then? The police station?

I've already been there.

I'm sorry about this. Sorry?

Rowena's been murdered.

And now you and Carol are free to go off and enjoy your lives together.

Don't you dare.

Don't you dare say that without any evidence.

I'll get evidence, my girl.

Even if the police can't.

Nothing. What now?

Well, sir, we've asked Frank Sweeney if there's any other building work that

Morris carried on which he can remember.

He either can't or won't.

Well, they're off to Germany tonight and we can't stop them. We'll have to come

back for the inquiry.

They can swear affidavits in Munich have been given to the sheriff. They need

never come back. I know their lovers.

Either him or both of them murdered Rowena.

How are you going to prove that?

Short of hiding under their bed?

There's one way to prove it.

When they don't know they're being watched.

You mean follow them?

Sir, um... I remember a couple of years ago you went to Munich for a police

conference and ended up playing golf with all the big Iedians. Nine holes,

Sir, Michael and I are due leave.

Why didn't you send us over?

Don't give up, do you?

Even if we prove you're right, what Pam Fleming said is true.

All that supplies us with is a motive.

One thing at a time, eh?

Come on, boys.

Where's Paul?

Where's Ali?

Munich? You're always saying I never spring surprises on you.

I haven't even any new clothes or... Oh, Jean.

Pack a suitcase, your passport, we'll get insurance at the airport.

You haven't become a born -again Christian.

Like Mike Jardine.

Just taking you on holiday.

OK?

Looks so bare.

You believe in ghosts?

I don't believe they can travel.

Sorry, I'm terrible with names.

Ulrich Giesler?

Detective Sergeant Ulrich Geitler.

Your English is much better than my German.

We're Europeans here.

In Scotland, that hasn't really caught on yet.

Listen, thanks for putting me up.

It's all right.

I was right.

Oh, right.

How was your flight?

Fine, thanks.

D .C .I. Taggart's coming on later, bringing his wife on a holiday.

Doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Mr. Bain stepped on the raft on an earlier flight from Glasgow.

That's why I came via London.

How far is there, Gaston?

It's on the way to Wolfrath House, about 30 kilometers south of Munich.

Do you want to go straight there or come straight to it? I could manage

something light.

I was in Glasgow once, for two days. Did you like it?

It's a reputation.

I only remember Sucky Old Street.

Is it too dangerous?

Aye, only during the January sales.

So, you are after a white pillar.

We need to know if they're lovers.

The British obsession.

Who's sleeping with who?

Es ist ja so tragisch, das mit Frau Bein.

Danke für die Anteilnahme.

Wie lange haben Sie in Deutschland gewohnt?

Ah, 16 Jahre.

My father was in the forces. He was based in Bremen, an army chef.

I came down here several times during that period.

We shall help you to forget your lot. Thank you.

Sind Sie die Kirche hier?

Ja, ich bin seit zehn Jahren hier.

I speak English.

You expect to see them make love?

There's a range of behavior short of that.

The man in the suit is the representative of the brewery.

The other two are employed.

Rowena would have liked it here.

Jim, I can't actually believe we're going on holiday to Munich.

Jim, I've always wanted to see Munich.

I've made a list of all the places that we can visit. There's the Nymphenburg,

if you like that.

Oh, and I might get to a concert in the new concert hall.

That's good, Jim.

Give people time to see it.

Fine. We can go now.

A distance that is managed to keep.

Guten Morgen.

Kann ich Ihnen helfen?

Can you speak English?

Yes, very well.

Wir haben reservieren lassen.

Name ist Taggart.

Ah, yes.

Mr. and Mrs. Taggart.

Would you like to fill in these forms, please?

Do I have that now?

Mr. Taggart, there is a message for you.

Message?

Problem with the office.

Not important.

We're just going to Munich.

Yeah, yeah.

OK.

Thank you.

Get the pot! Get the...

They haven't touched one in two days.

You have to admit it, your boss might be wrong.

I don't think that translates into his language.

I'm going to go over there and sit down for a bit, alright?

That woman with the camera.

Get her out of here.

She's Carol's aunt. Will you get her out of here?

What are you doing here?

Getting the evidence. You're incapable of finding.

You might have blown it.

It wasn't me who let them leave the country.

We had no option.

Mr Taggart, are you here?

Have them under surveillance. We don't need any help. From amateur, do you

Please, go home.

Can British police tell their citizens what to do on foreign soil?

Perhaps you lot are more comfortable.

Are you expecting to see someone?

No.

Why?

You just... Keep looking round.

What do you want to do next?

We've just got here.

No, I mean here.

There's a coach museum, a porcelain workshop. Oh, I'd like to see the

There's a concert in the Hercules Val in the residence on Monday night.

The Bavarian State Orchestra.

I'd like to go to that.

Where did you find out about that?

On a leaflet.

In the hotel.

Okay, then.

We'll get some ticket.

You could sign the little more enthusiastic.

Jim,

what's going on?

I'd just like to be kept in touch, that's all.

Thank goodness you're back.

Pam Fleming's in Munich. She's threatening to blow everything.

When I told her you'd be here, she said you're the only one she'd listen to.

Hello, Mrs Taggart.

Jane, wait a minute.

Why could you not have told me?

Holiday, indeed.

It is a holiday.

I just didn't want you bothered with this.

Only business, that's all. You're incapable of going anywhere and

about work.

Will you let me explain?

Who's Pam Fleming?

And why are you the only one she'll listen to?

Detective Sergeant Ulrich Geisler.

Detective Chief Inspector Taggart. How do you do? All very well.

Where is she? She's inside.

It's a long way to come fishing.

You said you needed evidence.

If Morris or Carl had seen you, you would have ruined everything.

How do you plan to get it?

We satisfy ourselves they are lovers.

And then we apply to question them further.

What a pity you didn't satisfy yourself in Glasgow.

I want justice for Rowena. Get justice for her.

As long as you don't interfere.

She couldn't wait to get here.

The climate, the gas house.

The very last conversation I had with her was all about the rare species of

fungi that grow here and how she was looking forward to picking new types of

mushrooms. She went through life like that, with her head buried in the

Unlike you.

Too short.

There's one way you can help this investigation.

It's, um... Well, I'll be frank with you.

It's more a personal favour.

There you are.

Plenty for you to see and do.

Am I to see nothing of you?

I'll be back.

I just want to go out and play for a bit.

Husbands.

Did I know I've had two of them?

We can't be here. It's only this time of year.

Why don't we go to Munich?

See Morris.

You worked for him umpteen years.

What do you want to see him so soon for?

Anyway, I want to go somewhere other than a beach. I can just... Are you

listening to me?

Do you want a holiday or no?

Hey. Hello, Frank.

Oh, hello there. How are you doing, eh? Hey, I can't stop now. I've got a client

waiting in the office for me. How's Morris?

Oh, haven't he had... Sure he's enjoying himself.

I'll see you around then.

See you.

Who's that?

Ernest Atkin. He's an estate.

He used to find properties for Morris to do up.

What's your father doing?

He thinks he's found dry rot.

And he's not my father.

Would you like to come with me to the cinema?

Oh,

there's a bit of dry rock.

You never quite stop being a builder.

Oh, badness in the wood.

Don't drink from me.

Oh, come on.

You can't be a Jesse in a place like this.

Jesse?

I would never let them behave like that in Sucky Hill.

Isn't that Carol with them?

Yeah.

Good.

I'd be glad to see the back of this place for a fortnight.

Of Morris, thank.

All these years you did labouring for him.

I think what he gave you was the least he could have done.

Didn't he have to do it?

I feel I owe him a favour.

You owe him nothing.

He's probably doing all right for himself over there.

He's no hard -up.

You've killed it.

Put another gin in there.

She's floating with a young man.

Laurie, she's just sitting over there.

They love a strange way of showing it.

So it looks like we were wrong.

You all right?

I'm wrong, Jean.

About Rowena Bain's death.

Well, the motive for it, anyway.

That's not what Pam Fleming thinks.

She talked about nothing else.

How did you get on together?

All right.

Maybe I'll see a bit more of you now.

Can I speak to Carol?

No, you can't.

But I want to.

Thank you.

I would like you to meet my brother Bernhard. Your brother?

Hello. Hello.

We thought you could do with a little extra help in finding out the truth.

Why couldn't you think of something like that?

Actually, it was my idea.

Tschüss. Tschüss.

Lange haben Sie diese Schmerzen in der Brust?

Während des letzten Jahres wurden sie schlimmer.

Und was hat Ihnen Ihr britischer Doktor verschrieben?

Ja.

Stop this, what a game of soldiers.

I can't believe this.

I mean, I've come here to speak to him. Now, why can't I?

It appears Mr. Bain is in a heart condition.

He's experiencing some pain. The doctor says there's no way that you can talk to

him. I've heard all this already back home.

It doesn't stop him coming here, sightseeing, going to beer halls,

people.

He cannot allow Mr. Bain in his current medical condition to be interviewed by

you on German soil.

I'm sorry.

So much for the EEC.

There's always cattle, Bain.

What are you doing here?

Watching you.

Sit down.

Morris didn't know that boy was a police officer.

Why did he have to? You're not under arrest, Miss Bain.

I have to tell you, you don't have to answer any question if you don't want

I want to.

All right, so Morris does love me. What of it? It's not a crime.

Why did you tell us lies back in Glasgow?

It was no business of yours.

Under the same roof as your mother.

Well, don't you think I felt guilty?

You don't deliberately start these things.

They just happen.

And I know who told you.

It's just a jealous bitch who wants to make trouble for Morris and me.

Jealous?

Why should she be jealous?

You really don't know?

Looks like she hasn't been entirely truthful either.

Caro!

Why is she jealous?

Because she and Morris were lovers long before he met Mum.

I won't be back till six o 'clock tonight.

We can't wait that long.

Tell us to go into the coach company. Find out exactly where they'll be.

I'll try.

We can't hold Mr. Bain if he wants to go.

I thought my police officer's okay over here. I think so.

Bannard with an archon provocateur. Could be risky.

Thank you, sir. You've just made me a very happy man.

That was the biscuit on the line.

The Aussie police have traced Bruce Miller. He's the head of a school in

Melbourne. And Leslie Bain is not with him. Where did he last see her? Leska.

She was supposed to see him off.

Never turned up.

You have to hold him now.

Thanks very much.

You pick up, Morris. Come on, we'll get a cab.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Morik, who are you phoning?

Tell me.

It's a message from Frank Sweeney, something about the house. Some damn

Look, I've got to go back for a couple of days.

There's a flight this afternoon.

Why the urgency?

I can't explain. Just trust me, will you?

I'm sorry.

You keep herning Frank, and if you get him, tell him not to do anything. Just

leave it to me.

And if the police want to know where I am, well, I'll tell them anything.

But don't tell my mom and dad.

I don't know what you're doing here, but I'm very glad to see you. Where's Pam

Fleming? Up there, taking photographs.

You look after Jean.

A long way down.

You didn't tell me you were in love with Morris Bain.

What of it?

Mrs. Fleming, I'm in no mood for games.

All right, but I don't see how it concerns you.

Where's Mr Taggart?

He's up there.

Did you know his first wife, Leslie?

Yes. So that's how you knew so much about her and about La Mancha.

You were carrying on with Morris Bain while he was still married to her.

Carrying on? It was more than that. So Morris was the meaningful relationship.

Could have been.

You were jealous when your sister stolen from under your nose.

So you must have been jealous of your first wife, too.

You don't know the half of it.

I know why you were so desperate for us to arrest Morris Bain.

Revenge.

It's my fault for introducing them.

All because Rowena wanted a bigger kitchen area.

She went in power, went to pick up Morris, and Carol said he went to

Bremen? Yes, to do with looking at people he knew as a boy.

For somebody with a heart condition, he gets around.

What come?

What was that you said about building work at the base?

Just a few extra feet to make the kitchen bigger.

You look after Gene, and when you find Morris, nail him down.

Hope this hunch is right.

So do I, otherwise I'll look right under heat.

Under heat?

That definitely doesn't translate.

Welcome home.

I hope you haven't started the party without me.

We'll make sure you're right this time.

It's the perfect place.

Won't bother to take the body with him.

Right, hang on for it.

Thanks.

Listen. It's okay, Frank.

Hey, where's the fire?

I'm trying to read my paper.

Oh, I've got the key.

Whose car's that?

I've no idea.

I told Frank Sweeney about the damp. He said he would do something about it, but

I haven't been able to get in touch with him.

The door's open.

You two, round the back.

Get an ambulance.

How was Brayman?

Chief Inspector Taggart, do you now accept that the death of the

second Mrs. Bain was suicide?

Yes.

Yet you...

in the face of all the evidence, determined to prove it was murder?

Yes.

You even travelled to Germany at considerable expense to try and prove it

murder? It was suicide dressed as murder.

She did it herself to take revenge on her husband.

Chief Inspector, don't theorise.

Mrs Bain is not here to tell us why she did it.

Don't you think it amounts to overzealousness on the part of the

conviction at any cost?

No. I call it doing our job.

And now that Mr Bain is charged instead with the murder of his first wife, you

consider your job done.

I was surprised you got that in.

About Rowena Bain?

She'd have wanted it said, Babushka doll.

What about that defence?

Found her dead, panicked and concealed the body?

A lot of killers have tried to get away with that one.

This time there's too much forensic.

Nice to see you believing in it again, General.

How long have you and the defendant been lovers?

Eight years.

In your mother's home?

Under the same roof?

Yes. This isn't a court of morals, Miss McKenzie.

I apologize, my lord, and to the witness.

I put it to you that you would be prepared to

lie for the defendant.

Yes.

You admit it.

Yes, I'd lie for him.

Because if he said he didn't kill Leslie, I'd believe him.

No further questions.

Why don't you ask me why my mother killed herself?

She's the one who landed us here.

Please, stand down.

It's because you find us in bed together. That's why she did it.

Mrs. Blamey.

How do you feel?

It's a life sentence.

You won't live to see it out.

So bitter.

Even still.

One question was never answered.

Nor asked.

Who did he kill Leslie for?

You.

Or the wiener.

You still don't understand, do you?

He didn't kill for either of us. It was Carol he moved in with.

She'd have stayed with her.

She was the perfect catch.

He threw her back.

Yes, I know the city like a lover.

Little bear, it's hard to love another. But I found this is no

meantime. No means today.

City life is strange. You take your shower.
