00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Seeing what other people do
with their houses and gardens
2
00:00:15,435 --> 00:00:16,840
does give one ideas.
3
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,920
Hello, sexy boots.
Madam.
4
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,480
What's in these?
Elderflower cordial.
5
00:00:48,515 --> 00:00:49,845
Yuck.
6
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,460
Yes, I am talking to you,
Mr Rogers!
7
00:00:52,495 --> 00:00:55,040
What about the Pelfe Chase
development?
8
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,880
Excuse me, Mr Rogers,
I'm talking to you!
9
00:01:00,915 --> 00:01:03,725
Oh, you deign to listen to me,
do you?
10
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,965
Because I want to tell you that,
in my opinion,
11
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,800
you're bent jerry-builder
with the morals of a Tomcat!
12
00:01:08,835 --> 00:01:11,600
And don't forget the Chairman
of the Planning Committee.
13
00:01:11,635 --> 00:01:13,805
Oh, yes, Mr Otley. Look at you!
14
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,800
It's clear you're corrupt
by the company you keep!
15
00:01:16,835 --> 00:01:18,440
You're a disgrace
to elective office!
16
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,380
Now, this last one, Swanscombe House,
17
00:01:25,415 --> 00:01:27,845
wouldn't be on the list
if we'd had our way.
18
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Ah, The Conservation
Society are on the warpath.
19
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,120
We were dead set against it
being built at all.
20
00:01:34,155 --> 00:01:36,400
It's quite out of character
with its surroundings.
21
00:01:36,435 --> 00:01:38,000
The fight goes on.
22
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,885
You've got a nerve, Mr Swanscombe!
23
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480
You think by opening this eyesore
to the public
24
00:01:59,515 --> 00:02:01,480
you might win some sort of approval!
25
00:02:01,515 --> 00:02:03,525
Well, you are so wrong!
26
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,940
Because it should never have been
built in the first place!
27
00:02:06,975 --> 00:02:10,320
And I have to tell you that
The Midsomer Conservation Society
28
00:02:10,355 --> 00:02:13,840
will oppose your plans
to further vandalise this village
29
00:02:13,875 --> 00:02:15,645
by any means necessary!
30
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,760
My dear Maureen, why would I want to
vandalise the village?
31
00:02:18,795 --> 00:02:22,325
I've made my home here!
My mother was a local girl...
32
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,400
But your father could have been
ANY passing tinker, couldn't he?
33
00:02:25,435 --> 00:02:28,080
Take no notice, Norman.
Oh, and you're just as bad!
34
00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:30,205
You and all his other cronies.
35
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,005
You've put this monstrous carbuncle
on the face of the village
36
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,800
and now you want to do worse with
your appalling plans for Pelfe Chase!
37
00:02:36,835 --> 00:02:41,160
God, you ridiculous
Philistine old bags!
38
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,080
No, no, no, no! Please, please!
39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,760
Steady!

Midsommer Murders - Season 13, Episode 7
"Not in My Back Yard"
42
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,365
Well done you, sir!
No, not at all.
43
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,600
I used to be
in the peacekeeping business.
44
00:03:52,635 --> 00:03:54,005
Did you really?
Army.
45
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,325
Major David Walsh.
Tom Barnaby.
46
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,525
Peacekeeping's what we did
in my day.
47
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,100
Retired down here for a quite life,
but you never know, do you?
48
00:04:02,135 --> 00:04:05,640
If you'll excuse me, I'm a candidate
in this local election.
49
00:04:05,675 --> 00:04:08,080
I have to counter all the votes
being bought
50
00:04:08,115 --> 00:04:10,760
by the er...development mafia.
51
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,760
Chief Inspector Barnaby?
Liz Gerrard.
52
00:04:16,795 --> 00:04:18,845
County Planning Officer.
53
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,000
They hold Liz personally responsible
for this...'monstrous carbuncle.'
54
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,525
Which is terribly unfair.
55
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,960
This house went through all
the rigors of the planning process.
56
00:04:30,995 --> 00:04:32,485
Amen to that.
57
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Liz studied the specification
for this house to such a point
58
00:04:35,435 --> 00:04:37,880
she could build it herself -
blindfold.
59
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,880
Personally, I think the committee
made the right decision.
60
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,160
But I'm just a politically neutral
servant of the public.
61
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,925
Like yourself, Chief Inspector.
62
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,080
Er... What exactly is this um...
Pelfe Chase development
63
00:04:55,115 --> 00:04:57,165
that Mrs Lawrence
was going on about?
64
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,100
Pelfe Chase is a piece of land
on the edge of the village.
65
00:05:00,135 --> 00:05:03,000
The council is considering giving
outline planning permission
66
00:05:03,035 --> 00:05:05,680
to a mixed housing and commercial
development.
67
00:05:05,715 --> 00:05:07,925
But there is local opposition,
is there?
68
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Oh, well, there'll always be
opposition to change -
69
00:05:10,915 --> 00:05:13,325
especially change for the better.
70
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,600
Mr Swanscombe, you are a candidate
in the local election, are you not?
71
00:05:17,635 --> 00:05:21,077
I am. I'm standing as an advocate
of change for the better.
72
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:24,520
The Pelfe Chase development
will breathe life into a village
73
00:05:24,555 --> 00:05:27,680
that's in danger of...
dying in its sleep.
74
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,000
Argh! Argh!
75
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Fragments of broken glass
in the wound.
76
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,480
An opportunistic killing, yeah?
A pretty savage one at that.
77
00:07:24,515 --> 00:07:26,840
Time of death?
Between 9pm and 3 this morning
78
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:28,045
probably.
79
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,240
We need to talk to Mr Swanscombe.
80
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120
When did you last see Maureen Stubbs
alive?
81
00:07:42,155 --> 00:07:43,885
Yesterday afternoon,
82
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,000
when she left here after the...
well, the incident.
83
00:07:48,035 --> 00:07:52,080
And did either of you see or hear
anything unusual
84
00:07:52,115 --> 00:07:53,600
between the hours of darkness?
85
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,925
Mrs Swanscombe?
No.
86
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,520
We tidied up in the garden
and then had supper.
87
00:07:59,555 --> 00:08:01,320
It was quite late
when the phone rang.
88
00:08:01,355 --> 00:08:02,885
It was Maureen Stubbs.
89
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,120
She said she had something to show me
that I ought to be aware of.
90
00:08:06,155 --> 00:08:07,685
About what time?
91
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,005
Um... It was around 9
when she called.
92
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,880
I asked if it could wait until
the morning, but she was insistent.
93
00:08:12,915 --> 00:08:14,605
Very insistent.
94
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000
So I agreed to see her.
95
00:08:17,035 --> 00:08:19,360
She didn't turn up?
No.
96
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Maureen - she...
97
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,360
..said something about your mother
yesterday.
98
00:08:31,395 --> 00:08:33,760
What was the meaning of that...
99
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,920
..Mr Swanscombe?
100
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,005
My mother grew up here.
101
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,680
In the early '50s, when she was 18,
she left Midsomer.
102
00:08:42,715 --> 00:08:44,965
She was expecting me.
103
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,125
She never named the father.
104
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,245
So the name Swanscombe...?
My stepfather.
105
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,200
He met my mother in London
and took us both on.
106
00:08:54,235 --> 00:08:58,085
You were obviously very offended
by what she said.
107
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,885
We're offended on behalf of
Norman's mother and stepfather.
108
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,040
They'd be deeply hurt by having
ancient history dragged up again.
109
00:09:06,075 --> 00:09:08,640
What's so depressing about this place
is the way
110
00:09:08,675 --> 00:09:11,325
gossip and malice and spite
111
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,125
infect everybody for generations.
112
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,365
That's why I'm standing
for election.
113
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,400
I want to introduce the village
to the 21st century.
114
00:09:20,435 --> 00:09:22,960
And Maureen Stubbs
opposed your plans.
115
00:09:22,995 --> 00:09:26,085
Local politics.
116
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,920
Not something anyone
would commit murder over.
117
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,085
So, in principle, we're all happy
118
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,565
with the plans
for the Pelfe Chase development
119
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,440
and we'll recommend approval
to the next full council meeting
120
00:09:43,475 --> 00:09:45,605
after the election.
121
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,360
Good. Well, that concludes this
meeting of the Planning Committee.
122
00:09:49,395 --> 00:09:51,485
Thank you, colleagues.
123
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,100
Oh, and a...
and a particular thank you to Liz
124
00:09:55,135 --> 00:09:58,680
for her customary diligence
and efficiency.
125
00:09:58,715 --> 00:10:00,720
Hear hear!
Thank you, Chair.
126
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,880
Oh, Liz, Liz. Um...
127
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,205
Don't fancy lunch, do you?
128
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,080
Oh, I can't right now, James.
Got a meeting.
129
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,600
So Maureen Stubbs had a very busy
day, even before I arrived.
130
00:10:19,635 --> 00:10:23,160
Yes, sir. She'd told the Chair
of the Planning Committee
131
00:10:23,195 --> 00:10:25,880
that he was a disgrace to his office.
Ah.
132
00:10:25,915 --> 00:10:27,760
James Otley.
133
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,040
What does James Otley do
in real life?
134
00:10:31,075 --> 00:10:32,725
He's a vet.
135
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,200
She said Liz Gerrard
was "a spineless jobsworth."
136
00:10:36,235 --> 00:10:38,680
Oh, that's a little harsh.
137
00:10:38,715 --> 00:10:40,845
She's very pretty.
138
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,840
And she called Geoff Rogers
"a bent jerry-builder
139
00:10:43,875 --> 00:10:45,960
with the morals of a Tomcat."
140
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,325
You were late last night.
Business.
141
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,680
You can't build houses
in the middle of the night.
142
00:11:02,715 --> 00:11:04,440
Don't act thicker than you are,
girl.
143
00:11:04,475 --> 00:11:06,565
I'm not a brickie any more, Gem.
144
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,720
I'm a mover and shaker around here.
Got to put myself about.
145
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,685
At all hours.
146
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,600
See you when I see you.
147
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,280
So what had all these people done
to provoke Maureen?
148
00:12:19,315 --> 00:12:22,605
Well, Clifford Bunting
designed the house,
149
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,960
Rogers built it, Otley and Liz
Gerrard gave it planning permission.
150
00:12:26,995 --> 00:12:30,640
They're what Angela Lawrence called
Swanscombe's cronies.
151
00:12:30,675 --> 00:12:32,645
Oh, I see.
Oh!
152
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:34,900
There's Fiona Conway.
153
00:12:34,935 --> 00:12:37,085
She lives at Pelfe Hall.
154
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,160
She sold Swanscombe the land
to build on.
155
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,765
Maureen shout at her too?
No.
156
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,120
She seemed to steer well clear
of Maureen.
157
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,400
At last! I was just about to start
without you.
158
00:13:11,435 --> 00:13:13,360
I had some hassles at work.
159
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,200
We can forget work for an hour.
160
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,965
Swanscombe's site
repeatedly vandalised
161
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,205
and the building's plant machinery
sabotaged.
162
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,520
And the attacks
on Swanscombe House continued.
163
00:13:36,555 --> 00:13:40,005
Yep. Graffiti sprayed on the walls,
164
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,920
ball bearings fired at the windows
from a catapult.
165
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,520
And then death threats
to Norman Swanscombe.
166
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,445
Why don't we have a word
with Major Walsh?
167
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,200
A peacekeeper's perspective
on Great Pelfe might be interesting.
168
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:04,525
You've had an interesting
career, Major Walsh.
169
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,880
that's always been my motto.
170
00:14:07,915 --> 00:14:11,517
Special Forces. Nuff said?
Ooh, yes, sir. Yes, indeed.
171
00:14:11,552 --> 00:14:15,120
And Detective Sergeant Jones and I,
we...we stand in awe.
172
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:16,840
Drinks?
No, but thank you.
173
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,320
We were hoping you'd give us
your perspective on recent events
174
00:14:21,355 --> 00:14:22,965
in the village.
175
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,160
You've got to understand there are
alien elements at work here.
176
00:14:26,195 --> 00:14:28,320
They've got money
and they've got influence.
177
00:14:28,355 --> 00:14:31,080
Who exactly are we talking about,
sir?
178
00:14:31,115 --> 00:14:33,205
Norman Swanscombe and his cronies.
179
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,320
Look at the way they got his ghastly
house through the planning process.
180
00:14:36,355 --> 00:14:37,845
Stinks of corruption.
181
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,125
Have you any proof of that?
It's obvious.
182
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,440
And now he's trying to bulldoze
his way onto the council.
183
00:14:44,475 --> 00:14:47,697
I mean, I've been living here
for five years now.
184
00:14:47,732 --> 00:14:50,885
I sat at the feet of our late
council representative.
185
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,600
I made it my business to learn about
the village and its traditions
186
00:14:54,635 --> 00:14:56,605
before I put myself forward
for office.
187
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,480
So you were groomed
for the succession, so to speak.
188
00:15:00,515 --> 00:15:02,537
If you want to see it in those terms.
189
00:15:02,572 --> 00:15:04,525
I see it as more of
an apprenticeship.
190
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,800
Frankly, no one expected
the seats to be contested.
191
00:15:07,835 --> 00:15:10,680
Then Swanscombe threw his hat
into the ring.
192
00:15:10,715 --> 00:15:12,560
But that's his democratic right.
193
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,400
But he's doing it
for subversive ends.
194
00:15:16,435 --> 00:15:18,485
Ooh, subversive?
195
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,200
A plan is being drawn up for
the development of Pelfe Chase -
196
00:15:22,235 --> 00:15:25,125
an unspoilt site
on the edge of the village.
197
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,165
A development which Maureen Stubbs
was opposed to.
198
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,000
Yes, and Swanscombe says
he'll support it if he's elected.
199
00:15:33,035 --> 00:15:36,760
The same gang are involved
that built HIS eyesore.
200
00:15:36,795 --> 00:15:38,960
Mm, I see how that
could cause trouble.
201
00:15:38,995 --> 00:15:41,085
Trouble's what they'll get.
202
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,920
Sir, that could be interpreted
as a threat.
203
00:15:43,955 --> 00:15:46,280
Not at all. It's a promise.
204
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,400
At a public meeting tomorrow night,
205
00:15:49,435 --> 00:15:51,565
openly and above board,
206
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880
I'm going to take the war
to the enemy.
207
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Have you got the keys?
Sir.
208
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,720
Well, you can see
who Maureen Stubbs supports.
209
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,765
Yeah. Right,
210
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,280
you search the house,
I'll do the garage.
211
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,280
Jones!
212
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:12,840
Up here!
213
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,880
I don't think Maureen Stubbs
was our burglar,
214
00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:24,960
but she was certainly equipped
to be the vandal.
215
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:28,525
Maureen was a fairy godmother to me.
216
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,360
When I moved here with my husband
and took this on,
217
00:17:31,395 --> 00:17:33,480
we had no idea
the business was going.
218
00:17:33,515 --> 00:17:35,457
It was a desperate struggle.
219
00:17:35,492 --> 00:17:37,400
Then my marriage broke up.
220
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,740
Dear Maureen and Douglas
befriended me,
221
00:17:40,775 --> 00:17:42,725
and when he died
we became even closer.
222
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,320
Maureen Stubbs was the founder member
of the Midsomer Conservation Society,
223
00:17:47,355 --> 00:17:49,445
wasn't she?
Of the Great Pelfe branch, yes.
224
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,520
She was our leading light. I just
helped out as Committee Secretary.
225
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,400
David Walsh and I
will have to pick up the baton
226
00:17:56,435 --> 00:17:58,405
and the struggle will continue.
227
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,440
Mrs Lawrence, will the struggle
continue using the same
228
00:18:01,475 --> 00:18:04,520
criminal methods?
I don't know what you mean.
229
00:18:04,555 --> 00:18:06,765
We found aerosol cans,
230
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,485
a catapult and ball bearings
on Maureen's premises.
231
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,320
The kind of equipment that was used
to vandalise Mr Swanscombe's house.
232
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,925
Did you know about that?
Absolutely not.
233
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,640
But you were so close, weren't you,
you and Maureen?
234
00:18:20,675 --> 00:18:24,400
Well, if she had been tempted into
extremism...
235
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,600
..she would have wanted to protect
her colleagues from guilty knowledge.
236
00:18:29,635 --> 00:18:31,520
Selfless to the last.
237
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,760
See what I mean?
Yeah.
238
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,800
I can't see anything
mechanically wrong.
239
00:18:58,835 --> 00:19:00,805
Maybe there's an electrical fault.
240
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,325
Please, don't get me started
on electrical faults.
241
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:06,840
The man you want to talk to about
these doors is your architect.
242
00:19:06,875 --> 00:19:08,965
He specified all this fancy gear.
243
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,680
You and Bunting! I tell you,
I've had it up to here
244
00:19:11,715 --> 00:19:13,280
with your bloody excuses!
245
00:19:13,315 --> 00:19:15,125
Er...Mr Swanscombe!
246
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Could I have a word, please?
247
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Don't mind me. I'll be off.
248
00:19:21,315 --> 00:19:23,365
Mr Rogers?
249
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,525
Geoff Rogers, yeah.
250
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,560
I'm Detective Chief Inspector
Barnaby. I'd like a word with you too
251
00:19:28,595 --> 00:19:30,645
when it's convenient.
252
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,325
Yeah, well, I'm out and about a lot.
253
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,240
You can er...try me on my mobile,
fix something up.
254
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,405
Er...this is DC Stephens.
255
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,480
I'm so sorry, we seem to have
walked in on an altercation.
256
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,520
Yes, well, it's just nagging issues,
you know.
257
00:19:51,555 --> 00:19:53,880
Always happens
on a new building project.
258
00:19:53,915 --> 00:19:55,405
Oh, yes.
259
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,165
Now, sir, we've discovered some items
on Maureen Stubbs' premises
260
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,400
which suggest that she was the person
responsible for the vandalism here.
261
00:20:05,435 --> 00:20:07,365
That doesn't surprise me at all.
262
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,520
And we couldn't help wondering
if she came back here last night
263
00:20:10,555 --> 00:20:13,000
intending to inflict more damage.
264
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720
She said she wanted to talk.
She had something I ought to see.
265
00:20:17,755 --> 00:20:19,880
We're going through
her phone records.
266
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,205
What, do you mean
you don't believe me?
267
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,420
Perhaps she came back here last night
unannounced
268
00:20:27,455 --> 00:20:30,600
and you disturbed her
when she was about her work.
269
00:20:30,635 --> 00:20:32,965
No.
Yes, and the anger you felt
270
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,360
at the persecution you'd suffered,
then your anger boiled over...
271
00:20:36,395 --> 00:20:38,680
No, no, nothing like that happened!
272
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,800
I am not responsible
for Maureen Stubbs' death!
273
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,085
I don't say what you say, Cliff.
274
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,840
I can't be doing with all this
Swanscombe House aggravation.
275
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:54,165
Swanscombe's a nit-picking pillock.
276
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,420
Yeah, but your drawings
didn't help much.
277
00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:58,640
All right for some poncy
architect magazine,
278
00:20:58,675 --> 00:21:00,485
sod all use on site.
279
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,925
My design instructions
were perfectly clear.
280
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,320
Quite frankly, Geoff, I wonder if
your local yokels are up to speed
281
00:21:06,355 --> 00:21:08,160
with cutting-edge
building technology.
282
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,000
We'd better get our act together
when it comes to Pelfe Chase job.
283
00:21:14,035 --> 00:21:15,800
If it ever happens.
Oh, it's gonna happen.
284
00:21:15,835 --> 00:21:17,925
I've got serious money behind me.
285
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,880
I am gonna be a big player
in the construction business.
286
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,000
Actually, Geoff...
287
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:31,080
..I don't think my cash flow
problems can wait until then.
288
00:21:31,115 --> 00:21:33,800
A bit of folding money up front
would be very welcome.
289
00:21:33,835 --> 00:21:35,805
Yeah, we'll all get paid off
in due course.
290
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,320
Yeah, but I'm safeguarding
your dirty secrets right now
291
00:21:38,355 --> 00:21:40,240
and I think I should be rewarded.
292
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,685
Are you blackmailing me?
293
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,440
I don't care what you call it,
Geoff.
294
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,280
'One new message.'
295
00:22:34,315 --> 00:22:36,485
'It's Norman Swanscombe, Clifford.

I'm sick and tired of you and Geoff
Rogers playing pass-the-parcel
297
00:22:40,115 --> 00:22:41,997
about the defects in this house!
298
00:22:42,032 --> 00:22:43,845
If action isn't forthcoming,
299
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,040
the next communication
you'll get from me
300
00:22:46,075 --> 00:22:47,965
will be a solicitor's letter.
301
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,680
I'm fronting up a major property
development for you people,
302
00:22:50,715 --> 00:22:52,925
for God's sake!'

00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,680
♪ That her face,

This Maureen business...

I don't want the police
poking around.
308
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,440
I know. Well, we'll try and keep them
off the scent.
309
00:23:17,475 --> 00:23:21,120
Oh, no. Think of my public profile.
310
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,280
Well,
I'd better get back to Eleanor.
311
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,725
We've got an election to run.
You can count on my vote.
312
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,040
If only I had the same hold over
the rest of the electorate.
313
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,520
I'm so glad we found each other,
Norman.
314
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,245
So am I.
315
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,845
'Norman Swanscombe.
316
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,280
Leave a message
and I'll get back to you.'
317
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:57,360
Norman,
I got your rather hysterical call.
318
00:23:57,395 --> 00:23:59,165
I'll drop round when I can
319
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,960
and see what I can do about your
petty problems, but do calm down!
320
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,320
The last thing you want to see
is your own dirty linen
321
00:24:05,355 --> 00:24:07,040
waving in the breeze.
322
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,920
That's what I call a des res!
323
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,920
Maybe he's round the back.
324
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,040
Sir.
325
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,880
Oh!
And it's recent.
326
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,840
Right, in you go.
327
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,760
Someone's done a very thorough job
here. Mm.
328
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,200
So where's Bunting?
329
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:32,620
Who the hell...?!
330
00:26:32,655 --> 00:26:34,845
Oh...it's you.
331
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,605
Well, that's service, I suppose.
332
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,280
I was just on the phone
ringing about the burglary.
333
00:26:40,315 --> 00:26:42,925
We're not here about the burglary,
Mr Bunting.
334
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,440
We want to talk to you about
the death of Maureen Stubbs.
335
00:26:46,475 --> 00:26:49,440
Murder? Burglary?
336
00:26:49,475 --> 00:26:51,565
Blimey!
337
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,640
You lot are losing your grip
around here.
338
00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:59,005
There's only you and I now,
339
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,725
and we have just two meetings left
to win the vote.
340
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,320
So do you think I should go ahead
with tonight's speech as planned?
341
00:27:05,355 --> 00:27:07,837
Absolutely, David.
Give them both barrels.
342
00:27:07,872 --> 00:27:10,320
Well, yes, but...
now we have no proof.
343
00:27:10,355 --> 00:27:12,485
Never mind about proof.
344
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,800
Speak out for what you know
to be true.
345
00:27:14,835 --> 00:27:17,080
It's what Maureen would have wanted.
346
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,080
And it means so much to me.
347
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,120
Did you hear your intruder, then,
Mr Bunting?
348
00:27:34,155 --> 00:27:36,680
If I'd heard him,
I would have dealt with him.
349
00:27:36,715 --> 00:27:38,645
What's been taken?
350
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,280
Nothing, as far as I can see.
351
00:27:41,315 --> 00:27:43,845
Does anyone else live here?
352
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,720
Not since my last wife left.
I'm not a total masochist.
353
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,525
When did you last see
Maureen Stubbs?
354
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,160
At the Swanscombe House two days ago
when she threw her drink over me.
355
00:27:55,195 --> 00:27:57,200
She was murdered that night.
356
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,525
Well, not by me.
357
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,900
Maureen was a pest not an enemy.
358
00:28:01,935 --> 00:28:04,205
Where were you that night?
Here.
359
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Can anyone verify that?
No, they can't.
360
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,600
But if I murdered everybody who took
offence and exception to my work,
361
00:28:12,635 --> 00:28:14,685
the streets would be clogged
with corpses.
362
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,800
The trouble is, too many people like
Maureen and Angela Lawrence
363
00:28:17,835 --> 00:28:19,760
want to live in the past.
364
00:28:19,795 --> 00:28:21,840
A bit like yourself.
365
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:30,840
If I could afford the kind of house
I design, I'd live in one.
366
00:28:30,875 --> 00:28:33,245
As it is, I'm in a Georgian house
367
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,120
and I have modernised it
according to its form and function.
368
00:28:36,155 --> 00:28:37,720
That is integrity!
369
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,325
And tell me, Mr Bunting,
370
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,320
do all your clients appreciate the
products of your creative integrity?
371
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,885
Well, they have a tendency
to ignore the fact
372
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,120
that they are privileged
to live in sculpted space.
373
00:28:53,155 --> 00:28:55,365
They quibble about trivial details.
374
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,600
Who was the architect who said
that God is in the detail?
375
00:28:58,635 --> 00:29:00,165
Mies van der Rohe.
376
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,880
And he'd have changed his mind
if he had my clients.
377
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,005
Order!
378
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,200
And so I want to see Great Pelfe
moving with the times.
379
00:29:11,235 --> 00:29:14,160
We need affordable housing
for sale and rent
380
00:29:14,195 --> 00:29:16,605
for local village workers.
381
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,765
The Pelfe Chase development
is in sympathy
382
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,840
with the existing built
and natural environments.
383
00:29:22,875 --> 00:29:25,560
It's not.
It is ecologically sustainable.
384
00:29:25,595 --> 00:29:27,085
Rubbish!
385
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,600
That alternative is to see Great
Pelfe turned into a theme park
386
00:29:30,635 --> 00:29:33,837
for commuters and second-home owners.
Not true!
387
00:29:33,872 --> 00:29:37,005
Nonsense! I would like to make it
absolutely clear
388
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,840
that I have no financial interest
in this development whatsoever.
389
00:29:40,875 --> 00:29:43,137
Not much
390
00:29:43,172 --> 00:29:45,365
That is absolutely true.
391
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,480
I'm asking you for your support
because I believe that together
392
00:29:48,515 --> 00:29:51,480
we can safeguard
the future of our village
393
00:29:51,515 --> 00:29:54,645
as a thriving, living community.
394
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,520
Thank you.
Thank you very much indeed.
395
00:29:57,555 --> 00:29:59,817
Murderer!
Order! Please!
396
00:29:59,852 --> 00:30:02,045
You and your cronies!
397
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,085
Everyone here knows why
Maureen Stubbs was killed!
398
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,525
Mrs Lawrence, I must ask you
to moderate your language!
399
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Oh, don't worry. I'm not listening to
any more of this charade!
400
00:30:11,035 --> 00:30:13,325
This is the kind of stitch-up
401
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,100
that provokes ordinary people
into direction action!
402
00:30:16,135 --> 00:30:18,840
And I can promise you,
there'll be plenty more of that!
403
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,320
Order! Order! Order!
404
00:30:35,355 --> 00:30:37,920
David Walsh, Independent.
405
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,885
Well,
406
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,840
you've been offered a seductive
vision of the village's future.
407
00:30:51,875 --> 00:30:54,405
Unfortunately, this vision
408
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,965
is a mere smokescreen.
Hear hear!
409
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,200
This will never be built!
410
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:06,725
Detailed secret plans already exist
411
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,920
for a quite different development
on the Pelfe Chase site.
412
00:31:09,955 --> 00:31:13,760
An out-of-town shopping centre
will be built
413
00:31:13,795 --> 00:31:16,525
with parking for hundreds of vehicles
414
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,165
together with some low-rent
social housing of poor quality
415
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,160
radically and permanently altering
the character of our village!
416
00:31:27,572 --> 00:31:29,880
And who's behind this?
417
00:31:29,915 --> 00:31:32,325
Mr Swanscombe.
418
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,200
The big city accountant
and his cronies!
419
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,245
Fiona Conway owns the land.
420
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Clifford Bunting's
drawn up the plans.
421
00:31:43,555 --> 00:31:46,040
Geoff Rogers will be the builder.
422
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,520
Now, once this Toy Town fantasy
has been approved,
423
00:31:52,555 --> 00:31:55,645
they'll use salami tactics -
424
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,680
grub up the woodland,
drive roads through,
425
00:31:57,715 --> 00:31:59,685
and then, bit by bit,
426
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,560
the attractive and expensive
features of this plan
427
00:32:04,595 --> 00:32:08,557
will be dropped
for reasons of 'cost overruns'
428
00:32:08,592 --> 00:32:12,236
and 'technical difficulties.'
Rubbish! Rubbish!
429
00:32:12,271 --> 00:32:15,880
This has all been written down
in black and white!
430
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,765
And once the REAL scheme,
431
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,660
or should I say SCAM
has been nodded through
432
00:32:23,695 --> 00:32:27,520
by compromised council members
and officers...
433
00:32:27,555 --> 00:32:29,925
Shame!
..a supermarket chain
434
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,780
will plunge millions
into the development
435
00:32:32,815 --> 00:32:35,600
and all concerned
will get a handsome payoff!
436
00:32:35,635 --> 00:32:38,405
Where's your evidence, eh, Walsh?
437
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,000
All right, all right, I'm being asked
about evidence.
438
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,560
Maureen Stubbs had in her possession
documentary evidence
439
00:32:46,595 --> 00:32:49,920
of this conspiracy the day she died!
440
00:32:49,955 --> 00:32:53,800
And that's why she was killed!
441
00:32:55,835 --> 00:32:58,360
Order! Order!
442
00:32:58,395 --> 00:33:00,880
Order!
443
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,300
So Swanscombe's up to no good, then.
Excuse me. Major Walsh!
444
00:33:09,335 --> 00:33:13,480
I'm sorry. Um...Major Walsh,
can I give you a lift home? Oh.
445
00:33:13,515 --> 00:33:15,445
Because if you do have
some information
446
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,340
pertaining to Maureen Stubbs' death,
I want to hear it.
447
00:33:18,375 --> 00:33:21,200
Only too happy to oblige.
That's very kind. Thanks.
448
00:33:21,235 --> 00:33:23,120
Um... Jump in.
449
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,720
Liz! Hang on.
450
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,160
Well, that's opened up
a whole can of worms.
451
00:33:33,195 --> 00:33:35,605
The innocent have nothing to fear.
452
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,960
Er... It's not them
I'm worried about.
453
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,740
Listen, do you think maybe we should
go for a drink,
454
00:33:43,775 --> 00:33:47,200
talk this through?
Not a good idea right now, James.
455
00:33:47,235 --> 00:33:49,120
Might look as if we're conspiring.
456
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,520
Everything comes to him who waits.
457
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,845
Major Walsh,
458
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,800
you spoke of documentary evidence
of a corrupt conspiracy.
459
00:34:01,835 --> 00:34:03,245
Mm-hm.
460
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,680
Can you produce that evidence?
461
00:34:05,715 --> 00:34:07,937
I saw it with my own eyes.
462
00:34:07,972 --> 00:34:10,125
That's not what I asked.
463
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,845
Where is it now, this evidence?
464
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,080
Maureen had the evidence.
Now she's dead and it's missing.
465
00:34:17,115 --> 00:34:19,805
I know the conclusion I draw
from that.
466
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,940
Well, surely she made a copy.
Apparently not.
467
00:34:22,975 --> 00:34:26,040
We can all be wise with hindsight,
can't we?
468
00:34:26,075 --> 00:34:28,325
Where did this material come from?
469
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,840
Maureen told me she received it
from an anonymous source -
470
00:34:30,875 --> 00:34:33,005
a whistleblower, if you like.
471
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,925
Fiona Conway, Geoff Rogers,
James Otley -
472
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,240
they've all suffered from burglaries
in these past few weeks.
473
00:34:39,275 --> 00:34:41,600
Burglaries in which, apparently,
nothing was taken.
474
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,760
And these are all people
that you accuse of being cronies
475
00:34:46,795 --> 00:34:48,845
in this new development scheme.
476
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,760
It doesn't look like a coincidence,
does it?
477
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,840
Was the evidence that you saw
the product of a burglary?
478
00:34:58,875 --> 00:35:01,925
I'm in no position to know, am I?
479
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,360
And I don't think that's the point.
The point is,
480
00:35:04,395 --> 00:35:06,165
these people are corrupt.
481
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,960
And they've committed murder
to cover their tracks.
482
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,120
Everything Walsh said last night
was absolute rubbish.
483
00:35:15,155 --> 00:35:16,565
Smear tactics -
484
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,600
an attempt to spread black propaganda
about the opposition.
485
00:35:19,635 --> 00:35:21,897
So the Pelfe Chase development
is clean,
486
00:35:21,932 --> 00:35:24,126
it's all above board,
there's no conspiracy,
487
00:35:24,161 --> 00:35:26,320
there's no plan to substitute
another scheme?
488
00:35:26,355 --> 00:35:28,485
Absolutely not!
489
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,080
We're going to have to look through
your personal and business affairs -
490
00:35:32,115 --> 00:35:35,640
records of financial transactions,
phone calls, so forth.
491
00:35:35,675 --> 00:35:38,400
Well, I find that
unnecessarily intrusive.
492
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,560
Mr Swanscombe...
493
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,285
..someone's been murdered
on your property.
494
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,960
And last night, you were
publicly accused of that murder.
495
00:35:48,995 --> 00:35:52,365
Oh, please!
Angela Lawrence is an hysteric.
496
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,440
There have also been allegations
of corrupt practices.
497
00:35:55,475 --> 00:35:58,040
Now, we are bound to investigate.
498
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:01,680
Very well.
499
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,320
I've got nothing to hide.
500
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,840
Damn it!
501
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,120
How is it?
Walk him about a bit.
502
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,925
Well, it looks good.
503
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,560
And he might just, you know,
take it gentle for a few days.
504
00:36:29,595 --> 00:36:31,160
Magic, James.
505
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,120
Bless you.
506
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,405
Margherita?
It's Fiona, actually.
507
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,360
But we won't let that
stand in our way.
508
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,280
I don't seem to have any cash on me.
509
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,040
But if you'd like to step inside
for a minute, I'll see you right.
510
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,640
Tillie!
511
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,045
Thanks, James.
No, not at all.
512
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,680
You were my right hand
in the operation
513
00:37:21,715 --> 00:37:23,525
so you've got yourself to thank.
514
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,720
You don't want a job
as a veterinary...nurse...
515
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,725
Mr Otley. Miss Gerrard.
516
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,520
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby,
Causton CID.
517
00:37:33,555 --> 00:37:36,240
This is Detective Sergeant Jones.
Right.
518
00:37:36,275 --> 00:37:38,285
Well, I'll leave you guys to it.
519
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,960
Will you be available for interview
later, Miss Gerrard?
520
00:37:40,995 --> 00:37:43,600
For Chief Inspector Barnaby,
I'm permanently available.
521
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,940
Yes, well, without the support
of the public there,
522
00:37:49,975 --> 00:37:53,427
where would we be, Jones?
Nowhere. Nowhere at all.
523
00:37:53,462 --> 00:37:56,880
Tell me, Mr Otley,
do many public sector workers,
524
00:37:56,915 --> 00:37:58,405
I mean council officials,
525
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,925
manage to keep horses these days?
526
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,120
Liz? Well, I think she's got
some private income, I believe.
527
00:38:05,155 --> 00:38:07,165
Has she?
528
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,600
Now, Mr Otley, we need to talk.
529
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,040
Are these patients?
No, no, they're symptoms...
530
00:38:28,075 --> 00:38:30,205
of nostalgia.
531
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:33,360
I started as a marine biologist
specialising in the Indo-Pacific.
532
00:38:33,395 --> 00:38:35,805
Is that you in these photos?
533
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,880
Yeah, I used to do a lot
of scuba diving.
534
00:38:37,915 --> 00:38:40,005
Off Australia and Indonesia.
535
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,320
And you gave all that up
to become a lowly vet in Midsomer?
536
00:38:44,355 --> 00:38:48,160
Oh, you know, financial security,
537
00:38:48,195 --> 00:38:49,560
settling down.
538
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,805
Now, Mr Otley,
539
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,365
at Norman Swanscombe's house,
540
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,405
Maureen Stubbs
strongly suggested that the um...
541
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,800
council planning process
was open to abuse, to corruption.
542
00:39:04,835 --> 00:39:07,097
At least I take it
that's what she was implying.
543
00:39:07,132 --> 00:39:09,360
Well, there's no way of knowing now,
is there?
544
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,365
Look,
I chair the Planning Committee.
545
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,720
Conservationists always accuse us
of all sorts of dereliction of duty.
546
00:39:16,755 --> 00:39:18,485
It comes with the territory.
547
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,800
The people who built
the Swanscombe house
548
00:39:20,835 --> 00:39:22,897
are now trying to develop
Pelfe Chase.
549
00:39:22,932 --> 00:39:24,960
Have any of them tried to bribe you?
No!
550
00:39:24,995 --> 00:39:27,005
I'd be onto you people like a shot!
551
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,680
When did you last see Maureen Stubbs?
Er...well,
552
00:39:29,715 --> 00:39:32,320
the afternoon that she left
Swanscombe's place.
553
00:39:32,355 --> 00:39:34,200
And your whereabouts that night?
554
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,960
Well, I was at the surgery, I think.
I was catching up on some paperwork.
555
00:39:39,995 --> 00:39:42,377
With anyone else?
No.
556
00:39:42,412 --> 00:39:44,760
Up to what time was that?
557
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,620
About midnight.
558
00:39:47,655 --> 00:39:49,440
Maybe half past.
559
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,880
And then I went home.
560
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,320
You're not treating me
as a suspect?!
561
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,840
We'll need to talk to you again,
Mr Otley. But thank you.
562
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,480
Hello?
563
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,845
Well, the spark plug went, didn't it?
564
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,120
I had to go for miles
to get another one.
565
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,600
See ya!
566
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,600
It's all right, sweetie,
it's only the filth.
567
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,640
It's not the Drug Squad,
just a murder inquiry.
568
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,780
Do come in!
569
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,600
Someone must have been
burning leaves.
570
00:41:32,635 --> 00:41:34,725
Yes, and autumn is so far away.
571
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,480
Do you live here on your own,
Miss Conway? Yeah.
572
00:41:37,515 --> 00:41:39,325
Pizza?
Er...no.
573
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,485
Seems to have gone a bit cold.
574
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,960
How about you, sexy boots?
No, thank you.
575
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,880
The truth is, when I have finally
sold off Pelfe Chase
576
00:41:47,915 --> 00:41:49,760
you won't see my arse for dust.
577
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,045
Why couldn't you sell up sooner?
578
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,645
Hassles with planning permission
and all sorts.
579
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,480
Thank God dear Norman Swanscombe and
his pals seem to find a way through.
580
00:41:59,515 --> 00:42:02,320
But they're being accused now,
are they not,
581
00:42:02,355 --> 00:42:04,805
of conspiracy, even murder?
582
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,280
You heard what Angela said
at the meeting last night.
583
00:42:07,315 --> 00:42:09,685
That soppy cow?
Do you think Norman's that stupid?
584
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,680
He's one of the few people round here
who've actually got a life.
585
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,640
What about those allegations
of corruption?
586
00:42:16,675 --> 00:42:18,397
Can you shed any light on those?
587
00:42:18,432 --> 00:42:20,085
I don't know anything about it.
588
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,560
And I don't believe
the galloping Major knows either.
589
00:42:22,595 --> 00:42:24,085
David Walsh?
590
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,085
The truth is, Walsh's nose
is out of joint
591
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,525
because he thought he was a shoe-in
for the council seat
592
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,480
and now there's a much stronger
candidate standing against him.
593
00:42:31,515 --> 00:42:32,885
Drink?
No, thank you.
594
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,040
Major Walsh is very passionate,
is he not, for conservation issues?
595
00:42:37,075 --> 00:42:39,765
He never used to give a toss
about conservation.
596
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,960
In fact, a few years back,
he tried to buy some land from me
597
00:42:42,995 --> 00:42:45,165
to build holiday homes.
Really?
598
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,165
Oh, yes, conservation's
just a bandwagon for him.
599
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,560
And of course, Angela Lawrence is
leading him around by the plonker.
600
00:42:51,595 --> 00:42:53,685
Due sit down, darlings.
601
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:56,920
Is there any actual relationship
there?
602
00:42:56,955 --> 00:43:00,120
In his dreams!
Angela's on the other bus.
603
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,565
Can you explain that
to the Chief Inspector?
604
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,840
When Angela came to terms with
her sexuality, dear,
605
00:43:09,875 --> 00:43:11,605
her marriage broke up.
606
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,800
So, one way and another you would
reject absolutely, would you,
607
00:43:15,835 --> 00:43:19,097
the charges of cronyism
and corruption?
608
00:43:19,132 --> 00:43:21,786
If there's one thing
I'm an authority on,
609
00:43:21,821 --> 00:43:24,405
it's villains,
chancers and wrong-uns.
610
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,480
And believe me, Norman Swanscombe
is as straight as a telegraph pole.
611
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,480
So what the hell's the problem?
612
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,120
Well,
the cause of death seems obvious.
613
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,120
If causes of death
were ever obvious,
614
00:45:20,155 --> 00:45:22,040
you wouldn't need me, would you?
615
00:45:22,075 --> 00:45:24,205
Well, Dr Bullard,
616
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:27,320
I await the full results of
your post-mortem examination
617
00:45:27,355 --> 00:45:29,485
with anticipated delight,
618
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,525
but might you expedite
our investigation
619
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,440
by honouring us
with a speculative hypothesis?
620
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,040
Occlusion of the carotid artery
leading to severe brain damage
621
00:45:39,075 --> 00:45:41,600
due to hypoxia. Just a guess.
622
00:45:41,635 --> 00:45:43,765
Time?
623
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,320
Recent.
Within the last two or three hours.
624
00:45:46,355 --> 00:45:48,920
And looks accidental.
Well, we'll see.
625
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,280
Bunting's car's out there.
You'll take a look? Yes, sir.
626
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,280
And I must talk to Mr Swanscombe.
627
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,000
I drove Eleanor to the station,
she's in town for the day,
628
00:46:46,035 --> 00:46:49,080
then I came back here and...
found him.
629
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,605
Where are the electrical
systems that control all this?
630
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,960
Where do you keep them? There's
a fuse box in there, I think.
631
00:46:56,995 --> 00:46:59,680
What was Mr Bunting doing here
in your absence?
632
00:46:59,715 --> 00:47:01,560
I'd asked him to sort out
some problems,
633
00:47:01,595 --> 00:47:03,680
including the sliding doors.
634
00:47:03,715 --> 00:47:05,085
Yes, it's in there.
635
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,800
He kept his own set of keys
so he could sort out the problems
636
00:47:07,835 --> 00:47:09,560
when I was working in London.
637
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,360
So someone could be using
those controls
638
00:47:14,395 --> 00:47:17,040
at the same time
as watching the window.
639
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,605
Yes, I suppose they could.
640
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,760
What time was your wife's train?
12:45.
641
00:47:23,795 --> 00:47:25,520
Was it on time?
Yes.
642
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,840
The drive back would take
15 minutes, give or take.
643
00:47:29,875 --> 00:47:32,920
That would get you back here at...
one o'clock.
644
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:37,240
You didn't report finding the body
until 1:30.
645
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,240
Well, after Eleanor caught her train
I decided to take a drive
646
00:47:43,275 --> 00:47:45,200
- the woods, Pelfe Chase -
647
00:47:45,235 --> 00:47:47,445
take in some scenery.
648
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,045
Did you meet anyone?
Did anyone see you?
649
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,960
I was taking the air,
not constructing an alibi!
650
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,880
What you found?
This.
651
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,480
Oh! The architect's essential tool.
652
00:48:08,515 --> 00:48:10,600
Is it just houses?
Yeah.
653
00:48:10,635 --> 00:48:12,565
OK.
654
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,900
Get 'em downloaded,
we'll have a look at them.
655
00:48:14,935 --> 00:48:17,200
At least they'll give us
the times and places
656
00:48:17,235 --> 00:48:19,365
of Bunting's recent whereabouts.
657
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,600
You said Angela Lawrence made threats
at the meeting last night.
658
00:48:23,635 --> 00:48:25,685
Yes, she did.
659
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:28,360
And Swanscombe dismissed her as
an hysterical woman.
660
00:48:28,395 --> 00:48:31,845
Fiona Conway thinks she's a fool.
661
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,080
Well, she may be
either of those things.
662
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,365
On the other hand,
663
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,280
she could be something else
entirely.
664
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,620
That was quite a meeting last night.
665
00:48:48,655 --> 00:48:51,685
And you were wonderful, my dear!
666
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:53,600
Someone had to speak up
for poor Maureen.
667
00:48:53,635 --> 00:48:55,480
You certainly did that.
668
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,280
So, who are you targeting next?
669
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,880
Less said the better, my dear.
Oh, David...
670
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,360
..surely there's nothing
we can't share.
671
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,040
Jones.
672
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:16,760
Couple of things
on Clifford Bunting, sir.
673
00:49:16,795 --> 00:49:18,845
He was heavily in debt,
674
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,760
he was being chased for maintenance
by both his ex-wives,
675
00:49:21,795 --> 00:49:24,045
and he was in arrears
with his mortgage.
676
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,080
So, if a really serious money-making
scam were on offer,
677
00:49:28,115 --> 00:49:29,925
he'd be very tempted.
678
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,000
I also found this. He left it
for Swanscombe two nights ago.
679
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,085
'One new message.'
680
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,320
'Norman, I got
your rather hysterical call.
681
00:49:41,355 --> 00:49:42,845
I'll drop round when I can
682
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,880
and see what I can do
about your petty problems
683
00:49:44,915 --> 00:49:46,605
but do calm down.
684
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,120
The last thing you want to see
is your own dirty linen
685
00:49:49,155 --> 00:49:51,997
waving in the breeze.'
686
00:49:52,032 --> 00:49:54,840
He's not coming clean with us -
Mr Swanscombe.
687
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,280
Is this business again?
688
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,325
Yeah.
689
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,700
What time are you likely to be home?
690
00:50:40,735 --> 00:50:43,005
When I'm good and ready. All right?
691
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,760
Geoff, I've never known you
like this before.
692
00:50:45,795 --> 00:50:48,480
Why can't you tell me
what you're scared of?
693
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:38,405
Doing a little overtime, Stephens?
694
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,840
Before you go, sir,
you should look at this.
695
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,160
From Bunting's camera?
Yes, but there's more detail.
696
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,080
Oh! Geoff Rogers!
To coin a phrase.
697
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,520
Hm...
Not so easy to ID the woman.
698
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,560
Vehicle registered
to Elizabeth Gerrard.
699
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,640
And there's more?
There's houses.
700
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,440
But there is this.
701
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,845
Fiona Conway.
702
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,400
And that's not
her pizza delivery boy.
703
00:52:30,435 --> 00:52:32,725
Hm...
704
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,560
Bunting was in financial
difficulties, wasn't he?
705
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:39,540
Maybe he was dabbling in
a little blackmail.
706
00:52:39,575 --> 00:52:42,247
Geoff Rogers installed
those sliding doors.
707
00:52:42,282 --> 00:52:44,885
Yes, so he'd know how to use them
as a weapon.
708
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,400
I think we should have a little talk
with Mr Rogers.
709
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:19,040
Ah, Mrs Rogers. We actually wanted
to talk to your husband.
710
00:54:19,075 --> 00:54:21,517
Oh, he went out
a couple of hours ago.
711
00:54:21,552 --> 00:54:23,960
Went out? Do you know where he went?
712
00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:26,645
Business.
713
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,120
When were you expecting him back?
714
00:54:29,155 --> 00:54:31,565
He told me not to wait up.
715
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,800
All right. You will tell him,
will you please,
716
00:54:33,835 --> 00:54:35,640
that we would like to talk to him?
717
00:54:35,675 --> 00:54:38,320
Yeah.
Thank you.
718
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,560
I think, Sergeant,
we should call that a day.
719
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,325
'Barnaby.'
Stephens, sir.
720
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,080
I'm at Elizabeth Gerrard's house.
There's been an incident.
721
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,885
Major Walsh.
722
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,920
Getting a new perspective
on criminal justice, are we?
723
00:55:20,955 --> 00:55:24,165
I'm exercising my right to silence.
724
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,800
Well, don't exercise it too hard.
It's not what it used to be.
725
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,165
I heard a noise from in here,
726
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,565
so I locked this door
and dialled three nines.
727
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,765
That showed coolness,
great presence of mind, that.
728
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,880
Well, the windows in here are barred
so I knew he couldn't get out.
729
00:55:54,915 --> 00:55:57,285
None of your property
was found on Major Walsh.
730
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,800
Have you any idea what he might have
been looking for?
731
00:55:59,835 --> 00:56:02,640
Evidence of my professional
wickedness, no doubt.
732
00:56:02,675 --> 00:56:04,920
And, of course, he didn't find any.
733
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,280
Guv'nor's here early,
checking up on us.
734
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,965
I could have been a brain surgeon.
735
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,840
It probably worked out for the best
though, George.
736
00:57:26,875 --> 00:57:29,800
Thanks.
Any initial thoughts, Mr Bullard?
737
00:57:29,835 --> 00:57:32,005
Well, I can only assume asphyxiation
738
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,700
because of the pressure
on the thoracic cavity.
739
00:57:34,735 --> 00:57:37,360
Was he alive
when he was covered with concrete?
740
00:57:37,395 --> 00:57:39,525
Well, that's what it looks like.
741
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,200
Until I get his lungs on the bench
I can't tell you any more.
742
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,040
Where were you before you broke into
Liz Gerrard's house last night?
743
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:53,720
Major Walsh?
744
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,240
Geoff Rogers was killed last night.
745
00:57:59,275 --> 00:58:01,685
So if you have an alibi,
746
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,560
I think you ought to give it to us
now.
747
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,680
Several people, your political
opponents in the village,
748
00:58:12,715 --> 00:58:14,725
have been burgled recently.
749
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,760
We know now that you committed
one of those burglaries,
750
00:58:18,795 --> 00:58:22,760
and we believe that you committed
all the others as well.
751
00:58:22,795 --> 00:58:26,160
Now, two of those people...are dead.
752
00:58:26,195 --> 00:58:28,040
And that puts you...
753
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,040
..in a very serious position.
754
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:34,600
I need to think about this.
755
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,000
That's very wise, Major.
756
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,240
You and Geoff Rogers
were having an affair, weren't you?
757
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,285
Yes.
758
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,640
Yes. When did you last see him?
759
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,885
Two days ago.
760
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,320
We were due to meet again
last night.
761
00:59:00,355 --> 00:59:03,040
Where?
The usual place.
762
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,560
Geoff didn't show up. I couldn't get
him on his mobile, so I...
763
00:59:09,595 --> 00:59:11,960
came home
and discovered the break-in.
764
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,480
Was he due to meet anyone else
before he met you?
765
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,805
I don't know.
766
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,120
Geoff kept his business to himself.
767
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,760
He had all sorts of deals going,
contacts all over the place.
768
00:59:26,795 --> 00:59:29,925
Professionally,
I preferred not to know.
769
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,200
What, you suspected
they were criminal contacts?
770
00:59:33,235 --> 00:59:36,440
I wasn't in the business of
criminal investigation.
771
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,400
I took Geoff to bed because
he was rough, and uninhibited,
772
00:59:42,435 --> 00:59:44,360
and exciting.
773
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,960
People like that can be dangerous.
774
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,760
That's the fun.
775
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,280
And people like that
can make enemies, can't they?
776
00:59:58,315 --> 00:59:59,925
Were you aware of any enemies?
777
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:04,160
Geoff knew the conservation crowd
blamed him for Maureen's death.
778
01:00:04,195 --> 01:00:06,600
Was he afraid they might take
some kind of revenge?
779
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,920
You heard what Angela Lawrence said
at the meeting.
780
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,445
But Geoff wasn't afraid of much.
781
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,040
These photographs show that someone
knew about your affair.
782
01:00:18,075 --> 01:00:21,125
Was he being blackmailed?
Yes.
783
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,440
By who?
I don't know, he wouldn't tell me.
784
01:00:23,475 --> 01:00:25,045
But he said he'd take care of it.
785
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,320
We think Bunting was the man.
Bunting took those photographs.
786
01:00:28,355 --> 01:00:31,325
Do you think your rough
and dangerous Geoff,
787
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,360
do you think he'd be capable
of killing Mr Bunting?
788
01:00:34,395 --> 01:00:36,840
I can only say
I desperately hope not.
789
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,640
We'll take that as a definite no,
shall we?
790
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,320
Yes.
791
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,960
It's just that it's such a big step,
darling.
792
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,005
You know best.
793
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:04,920
I'll leave straight away.
794
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,240
Come in.
795
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,040
You shouldn't have come in today.
796
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,120
Better than wallowing at home.
797
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,160
Well, if there's anything I can do,
you only have to ask.
798
01:01:44,195 --> 01:01:46,040
I know.
799
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,220
I'm going to come clean with you.
800
01:02:01,255 --> 01:02:03,765
I admit burgling Liz Gerrard's house,
801
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,960
but I don't know anything
about any murders.
802
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,200
What about the rest of
the burglaries?
803
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,800
Yes, I effected entry
into those properties.
804
01:02:12,835 --> 01:02:14,960
Oh, you effected entry
805
01:02:14,995 --> 01:02:16,320
Why?
806
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,880
I broke the letter of the law
in pursuit of a higher good.
807
01:02:20,915 --> 01:02:24,000
I was hoping to find evidence
of criminal conspiracy
808
01:02:24,035 --> 01:02:27,565
and eventually, in Rogers' case,
I found it.
809
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:31,920
Where? Oh, in the documents you SAY
Maureen Stubbs was carrying
810
01:02:31,955 --> 01:02:33,485
the night she was killed?
Yes.
811
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:37,080
So the story about this anonymous
whistleblower is untrue.
812
01:02:37,115 --> 01:02:38,960
Yes, yes.
813
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,440
When the documents disappeared
at Maureen's death,
814
01:02:43,475 --> 01:02:45,840
I suspected both Bunting
and Liz Gerrard.
815
01:02:45,875 --> 01:02:48,005
I targeted them for covert action.
816
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,760
Unfortunately,
I didn't find any documents.
817
01:02:50,795 --> 01:02:54,640
Look, two of the people you targeted
818
01:02:54,675 --> 01:02:57,205
have subsequently died.
819
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,120
That cannot be coincidental.
820
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,800
I know nothing about any murders!
821
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,405
I'm giving you as much help as I can.
822
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,120
What about your other associate
on the conservation committee -
823
01:03:10,155 --> 01:03:12,205
Angela Lawrence?
824
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,200
What part did she play in all this?
825
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,040
So you packed a few bags,
put them in the car?
826
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,920
What was the intention?
I wanted a few days away.
827
01:04:03,955 --> 01:04:06,085
Business hasn't been good.
828
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,000
You can't just walk away
from a post office.
829
01:04:08,035 --> 01:04:10,080
Have you arranged cover?
830
01:04:10,115 --> 01:04:12,205
Mrs Lawrence,
831
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:16,680
you were a leading light in the
conservation committee, weren't you?
832
01:04:16,715 --> 01:04:22,320
Now, if Maureen Stubbs knew about
Major Walsh's criminal campaign,
833
01:04:22,355 --> 01:04:25,325
then you knew too.
834
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,840
I'm not responsible for whatever
foolishness Walsh has been up to.
835
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,320
If he's told you differently, he's
just trying to spread the blame.
836
01:04:33,355 --> 01:04:37,125
At the election meeting,
you threatened more direct action.
837
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:41,040
Now, since that meeting, two of
your political opponents have died.
838
01:04:41,075 --> 01:04:42,440
I wonder...
839
01:04:45,795 --> 01:04:47,965
Ooh!
840
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,880
Oh, Mrs Lawrence!
841
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,165
Well, this isn't the overnight float
842
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,845
from the village post office till,
is it
843
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:57,920
And I can't believe it's a reward
from Major Walsh
844
01:04:57,955 --> 01:05:00,005
for supporting his election campaign.
845
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,600
So, Mrs Lawrence,
you have a lot of explaining to do.
846
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,960
I had no reason to murder
Clifford Bunting or Geoff Rogers.
847
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,445
No, you hadn't, had you?
848
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:19,360
Because I believe that
you were acting on their behalf.
849
01:05:19,395 --> 01:05:21,245
I don't know what
you're talking about.
850
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,400
Mrs Lawrence, I don't believe
that you are an hysterical woman,
851
01:05:24,435 --> 01:05:26,005
and I don't believe you're a fool,
852
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,800
but I do believe that you are
in desperate need of money.
853
01:05:28,835 --> 01:05:32,280
And I think that this
is payment for your role...
854
01:05:32,315 --> 01:05:34,845
That is such nonsense.
I believe
855
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:39,020
that someone is paying you
to discredit the society
856
01:05:39,055 --> 01:05:43,600
by associating them
with extremist tactics. Am I right?
857
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,040
So who was paying you?
858
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,720
Geoff Rogers.
859
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,525
Geoff Rogers.
860
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,405
So YOU vandalised Swanscombe's house
861
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,200
and you planted the catapult
and the aerosol cans
862
01:06:04,235 --> 01:06:06,640
in Maureen Stubbs' garage?
863
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,320
I'm afraid so, yes.
864
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,280
Sorry, Lesley, Cyril, we're closed.
Sorry.
865
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,480
Shall we go into the other room?
866
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:43,080
So you were actively encouraging
Major Walsh's campaign of burglary?
867
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,485
Major Walsh is just a silly man
868
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,085
who thought it was Watergate
all over again.
869
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,645
Then, unfortunately,
he actually found something.
870
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:56,760
The documents Maureen was taking to
Swanscombe when she was killed? Yes.
871
01:06:56,795 --> 01:07:00,240
I do not believe that Maureen Stubbs
or Major Walsh
872
01:07:00,275 --> 01:07:02,405
would be so foolish
873
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:06,840
as to approach Norman Swanscombe
with such incriminating evidence
874
01:07:06,875 --> 01:07:10,765
without first making a copy.
875
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,040
And you'd be the woman to do that,
wouldn't you?
876
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,325
Yes.
877
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,605
When Maureen received
878
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,340
the compromising documents
from David Walsh,
879
01:07:21,375 --> 01:07:24,040
she did bring them to me
to make a copy.
880
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,420
So, you knew Maureen had
the documents,
881
01:07:28,455 --> 01:07:31,165
you were secretly working
against her -
882
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,880
did you follow her into
Swanscombe's garden and attack her?
883
01:07:34,915 --> 01:07:37,045
After Swanscombe's garden party,
884
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,320
I went to Causton and spent the night
with my sister.
885
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:44,280
We went to a concert in the evening.
There'll be plenty of witnesses.
886
01:07:44,315 --> 01:07:46,957
Who else knew that Maureen Stubbs
had these documents?
887
01:07:46,992 --> 01:07:49,600
Geoff Rogers.
That's very convenient, isn't it
888
01:07:49,635 --> 01:07:51,480
Given that the man is dead.
889
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,720
Who else is involved?
890
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,725
He was my only contact.
891
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,800
If anyone else was implicated,
I never knew about it.
892
01:08:01,835 --> 01:08:05,360
So you betrayed your...
your best friend...
893
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,080
..for a bit of cash
from Geoff Rogers?
894
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:12,720
I don't believe you.
895
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,000
You can believe what you like.
896
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,200
I have nothing more to say.
897
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,280
Well, it's all here,
as Walsh claimed.
898
01:08:29,315 --> 01:08:31,405
At first, everything's normal.
899
01:08:31,440 --> 01:08:33,925
First phase,
original planning application,
900
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,920
phase two site preparation to
the point where it CAN be developed.
901
01:08:36,955 --> 01:08:40,245
But then, phase three onwards,
902
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:44,000
there's a planned series
of technical hitches -
903
01:08:44,035 --> 01:08:46,045
cost overruns and so forth.
904
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:50,440
So that any environmental or social
benefits have to be stripped away.
905
01:08:50,475 --> 01:08:52,645
And then, finally,
906
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,520
a supermarket chain moves in
to save the day
907
01:08:55,555 --> 01:08:58,325
with a vast out-of-town
shopping complex.
908
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,080
Walsh found it on Rogers' premises,
so he's implicated.
909
01:09:01,115 --> 01:09:02,885
But apart from that,
910
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,640
there's no proof of who's in
on the scam and who isn't.
911
01:09:05,675 --> 01:09:08,440
Trouble is, that doesn't solve
our murders for us.
912
01:09:08,475 --> 01:09:10,485
No, it does not.
913
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,520
And my guess is there could be more.
914
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,525
I thought he was under arrest.
915
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,780
He was. He's been charged.
He's out on bail.
916
01:09:27,815 --> 01:09:30,000
Can he stand for election?
Certainly can.
917
01:09:30,035 --> 01:09:33,005
Man is innocent until proved guilty.
918
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,005
Welcome to the final meeting
in the by-election
919
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:39,640
of Midsomer County Council
for the seat of Great Pelfe.
920
01:09:39,675 --> 01:09:44,440
I'll begin by calling on David Walsh,
Independent.
921
01:09:50,480 --> 01:09:54,960
This election is taking place
in the shadow of grave events.
922
01:09:54,995 --> 01:09:57,920
Three people have died
in the village.
923
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,560
I ask of you one simple thing.
924
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,725
When you come to
the polling station, please remember
925
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,800
the documents brought to light
in the current police investigation
926
01:10:09,835 --> 01:10:14,680
have vindicated every word,
and every action, of my campaign
927
01:10:14,715 --> 01:10:16,885
and that of my supporters.
928
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,725
The Pelfe Chase development plan
929
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,525
has been exposed as a snare
and a delusion
930
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:27,240
whose corruption has been
accompanied by lethal violence.
931
01:10:28,440 --> 01:10:30,525
In all humility,
932
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:31,840
I solicit your vote...
933
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:36,000
..not for a flawed and fallible man,
934
01:10:36,035 --> 01:10:37,920
but for a cause.
935
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,325
Thank you.
936
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,680
Hear, hear!
937
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:52,320
Now...
938
01:10:53,480 --> 01:10:56,080
..Norman Swanscombe, Independent.
939
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,925
The revelation of a hidden agenda
940
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,205
behind the Pelfe Chase
development plan
941
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:10,920
has been a profound shock
and disappointment to me.
942
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,565
However, I should make it
absolutely clear
943
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,880
that if elected, I will support
the planning application
944
01:11:18,915 --> 01:11:22,045
with all of my ability.
945
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,800
Now, by that I mean
the original plan...
946
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,085
..with all of its social,
947
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:32,160
environmental
and architectural benefits
948
01:11:32,195 --> 01:11:34,365
to this community.
Hear, hear!
949
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:39,160
And I most solemnly pledge to press
for the most vigorous investigation
950
01:11:39,195 --> 01:11:43,640
into Midsomer's planning procedures
and personnel.
951
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,900
Vote for prosperity,
952
01:11:49,935 --> 01:11:52,520
progress and principle.
953
01:11:52,555 --> 01:11:54,917
Thank you.
954
01:11:54,952 --> 01:11:56,876
Bravo! Bravo!
955
01:11:56,911 --> 01:11:58,800
Thank you.
956
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,160
I've trawled through Swanscombe's
financial affairs, sir.
957
01:12:36,195 --> 01:12:37,325
And?
958
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,205
There's nothing that ties him in
with this development scam.
959
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,520
He's not received any benefits, that
I can see, from Bunting or Rogers.
960
01:12:43,555 --> 01:12:45,165
He's clean?
961
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,600
Well, when he acquired the land
from Fiona Conway
962
01:12:47,635 --> 01:12:49,277
to build Swanscombe's house,
963
01:12:49,312 --> 01:12:50,885
the title was transferred
964
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:54,165
but there's no record of any money
changing hands.
965
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:58,520
But that land must be worth millions!
And she obviously needs money.
966
01:12:58,555 --> 01:13:00,560
Fiona Conway
stands to gain massively
967
01:13:00,595 --> 01:13:02,725
from the Pelfe Chase development.
968
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:05,720
Swanscombe's an aspiring politician
promising to support it,
969
01:13:05,755 --> 01:13:07,605
so on the face of it...
970
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,480
She's handed him
an absolutely massive bung.
971
01:13:10,515 --> 01:13:11,560
Yeah.
972
01:13:25,755 --> 01:13:28,045
Mrs Swanscombe.
973
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,205
We're trying to find your husband.
974
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,080
We've been round to your place,
but no one in.
975
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,205
Well, you could try Pelfe Hall.
976
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,680
My husband spends a lot of time
there.
977
01:13:39,715 --> 01:13:42,120
But you'll have to talk to him
about that.
978
01:13:42,155 --> 01:13:44,317
Thank you very much.
979
01:13:44,352 --> 01:13:46,445
The Major's a buffoon!
980
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:49,200
You're bound to win,
if the electors have got any sense.
981
01:13:49,235 --> 01:13:50,685
If.
982
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,560
Then shouldn't we have really
stopped pretending?
983
01:13:53,595 --> 01:13:55,960
It would be a relief to Eleanor.
984
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,600
It's the filth again.
985
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,720
Should you do a runner out the back?
986
01:14:08,755 --> 01:14:11,565
Only if you feel compromised.
987
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,560
Good God,
it would take more than this!
988
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,520
I see the payroll vote
is out in force.
989
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,960
We've come across something
rather...rather odd.
990
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,965
Mr Swanscombe, it appears that
991
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,040
you obtained the land for your house
from Miss Conway here
992
01:14:38,075 --> 01:14:40,960
without paying her any money for it.
993
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:45,920
Could you explain that to me,
please?
994
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,960
Damn it, Norman,
they've got ways of finding out.
995
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:56,720
Finding out what?
996
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:02,640
Fiona's my sister.
997
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,880
Half sister, strictly.
Same dad, different mothers.
998
01:15:07,915 --> 01:15:09,925
Ah!
999
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,245
Er... How long have you known this?
1000
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,160
I've known for years. Daddy
let it slip shortly before he died.
1001
01:15:16,195 --> 01:15:19,045
Fiona told me
when I came back to the village.
1002
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:22,280
I thought the family owed Norman,
so I gave him the land.
1003
01:15:22,315 --> 01:15:24,445
But why the secrecy?
1004
01:15:24,480 --> 01:15:26,720
I thought it might open old wounds
for my mother.
1005
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,600
And Maureen Stubbs, for one,
would make a meal of it, yes?
1006
01:15:31,635 --> 01:15:33,725
Yes.
1007
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,500
I'm afraid we have been
rather selfish,
1008
01:15:36,535 --> 01:15:39,240
grabbing as much time together
as possible.
1009
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,965
Ah, Tom!
1010
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,045
I hear you have some information
for me. Is that right?
1011
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:50,760
Yes. You remember I said that
Rogers was alive but unconscious
1012
01:15:50,795 --> 01:15:53,337
when the concrete was poured?
1013
01:15:53,372 --> 01:15:55,946
Yes, I do.
Not entirely correct.
1014
01:15:55,981 --> 01:15:58,520
He was in what we call a state of
1015
01:15:58,555 --> 01:16:00,720
dissociative anaesthesia.
1016
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,325
And...what would that be, then?
1017
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,840
Conscious, but incapable of speaking
or acting, Benjamin.
1018
01:16:08,875 --> 01:16:12,320
He'd been taking,
well, been induced to take, Ketamine.
1019
01:16:12,355 --> 01:16:14,845
Bit old for recreational drugs,
wasn't he?
1020
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,125
Ketamine also has
legitimate medical uses, yes?
1021
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,400
In some cases, on humans, yes.
Although these days...
1022
01:16:20,435 --> 01:16:23,320
It is commonly used, is it not,
by vets?
1023
01:16:23,355 --> 01:16:24,720
Absolutely.
1024
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:31,720
Hello?
1025
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:38,605
Mr James Otley,
1026
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,880
I'm arresting you in connection with
the death of Geoff Rogers.
1027
01:16:41,915 --> 01:16:45,120
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
1028
01:16:45,155 --> 01:16:46,805
if you do not mention
when questioned
1029
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,160
something you later rely on court.
Anything you do say
1030
01:16:49,195 --> 01:16:51,280
may be given in evidence.
Do you understand, sir?
1031
01:16:51,315 --> 01:16:53,320
I didn't kill Geoff Rogers.
1032
01:16:53,355 --> 01:16:55,325
Mr Otley,
1033
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,845
do you use Ketamine
1034
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,880
as an animal tranquiliser
in the course of your work?
1035
01:17:00,915 --> 01:17:03,577
Yes, of course. It's normal
in a veterinary practice.
1036
01:17:03,612 --> 01:17:06,240
Rogers was drugged with Ketamine
before he was killed.
1037
01:17:06,275 --> 01:17:08,565
That has nothing to do with me.
1038
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:10,760
Mr Otley, look at it
from our point of view.
1039
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,760
A criminal conspiracy
has been uncovered.
1040
01:17:15,795 --> 01:17:18,957
You and Liz Gerrard
are at the very heart
1041
01:17:18,992 --> 01:17:22,085
of the Midsomer
council planning process,
1042
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,640
so either one or both of you
must have been part
1043
01:17:25,675 --> 01:17:29,257
of that development scam
in order for it to succeed.
1044
01:17:29,292 --> 01:17:32,840
Now someone who opposed
the conspiracy has died.
1045
01:17:32,875 --> 01:17:34,925
But then two other people
1046
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,360
who we believe were part of
the conspiracy have also died.
1047
01:17:38,395 --> 01:17:41,760
And it begins to look as if someone
is methodically trying
1048
01:17:41,795 --> 01:17:44,880
to cover their tracks
by killing their associates.
1049
01:17:44,915 --> 01:17:46,200
Someone, sir, like you!
1050
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,720
When you operated on
Liz Gerrard's horse,
1051
01:17:51,755 --> 01:17:54,360
did you use Ketamine?
1052
01:17:54,395 --> 01:17:55,925
Sure.
1053
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,645
Thanks, James.
No, no, not at all.
1054
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,840
You've got yourself to thank. You
were my right hand in the operation.
1055
01:18:01,875 --> 01:18:04,005
So if you ever want a job
as a veterinary nurse...
1056
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:08,600
Were you present for the whole time
the horse was being tranquilised?
1057
01:18:08,635 --> 01:18:10,245
Of course.
1058
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,245
Oh, no, hang on.
Except...for a moment,
1059
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,240
when I had to go back to
the Land Rover to get a splint.
1060
01:18:16,275 --> 01:18:19,280
But Liz was perfectly safe
looking after the drip.
1061
01:18:19,315 --> 01:18:21,520
When was the last time
you saw Liz Gerrard?
1062
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,780
She didn't go to work this morning.
1063
01:18:25,815 --> 01:18:28,240
Called in at her house. No one home.
1064
01:18:28,275 --> 01:18:30,437
Where is she, sir?
1065
01:18:30,472 --> 01:18:32,736
You don't think...
1066
01:18:32,771 --> 01:18:34,905
I haven't harmed Liz.
1067
01:18:34,940 --> 01:18:37,450
I couldn't. I couldn't.
1068
01:18:37,485 --> 01:18:39,925
Mr Otley, please...tell me,
1069
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,800
when did you last see Miss Gerrard?
1070
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,640
She stayed the night with me. Here.
1071
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,245
I'd been dreaming about that night
for years.
1072
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:59,600
I always knew there was something
about Liz that was...dangerous
1073
01:18:59,635 --> 01:19:01,685
underneath the surface.
1074
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:03,600
She just proved how right I was.
1075
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,800
Tell me about
the really scary things
1076
01:19:06,835 --> 01:19:09,240
down on your Indo-Pacific reefs.
1077
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,445
Um... Well, there's the er...
1078
01:19:14,480 --> 01:19:18,120
blue-ringed octopus
which is very small,
1079
01:19:18,155 --> 01:19:20,280
but lethal poison.
1080
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:23,445
Isn't there an Australian fish
1081
01:19:23,480 --> 01:19:26,400
that produces a heart attack
in humans?
1082
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:29,600
Oh, I know what you mean.
No, the um...
1083
01:19:29,635 --> 01:19:31,577
Irukandji syndrome,
1084
01:19:31,612 --> 01:19:33,520
except it's not a fish.
1085
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,920
Look.
1086
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:45,320
The Irukandji jellyfish.
1087
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:49,925
Wow, that's tiny!
1088
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,885
And that could give a grown man
a fatal heart attack?
1089
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:57,725
It could. And it would be...
almost entirely undetectable.
1090
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:03,080
Unless some pathologist knew...
exactly what he was looking for.
1091
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:08,320
Has anyone ever extracted the toxin?
1092
01:20:08,355 --> 01:20:11,840
Er...well, yeah, I have, actually.
1093
01:20:11,875 --> 01:20:13,925
Just by way of interest -
1094
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,060
I thought it might be
a more humane way
1095
01:20:17,095 --> 01:20:20,160
of putting down
terminally sick animals.
1096
01:20:20,195 --> 01:20:22,760
Oh, you're such a clever guy, James.
1097
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:25,800
And that's about all I remember.
1098
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,400
When I woke up this morning,
Liz had gone.
1099
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:35,160
Swanscombe will be at the Town Hall,
won't he, for the count?
1100
01:20:35,195 --> 01:20:37,560
Yeah.
Right, come on.
1101
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:58,280
Now, concentrate, everybody.
Please commence counting now.
1102
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,765
'Norman, Liz Gerrard.
1103
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:50,525
We need to talk.'
What, now?
1104
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,560
'This is desperately confidential.'
1105
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,640
So, what's all the secrecy about,
Liz?
1106
01:22:08,675 --> 01:22:10,737
Can we talk about this over a drink?
1107
01:22:10,772 --> 01:22:12,800
I'm really strung out about things.
1108
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:15,800
OK.
1109
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,800
Cheers, Norman.
Cheers.
1110
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,760
Don't drink that!
Argh!
1111
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:43,760
Secure the bottle.
1112
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:50,645
Miss Gerrard...
1113
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:52,560
Put that glass down.
1114
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,200
Argh!
1115
01:22:59,880 --> 01:23:01,000
Argh!
1116
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,040
Miss Gerrard...
1117
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,240
..you murdered Maureen Stubbs
1118
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:16,040
because she was just about to reveal
details of your development scam
1119
01:23:16,075 --> 01:23:17,920
to Mr Swanscombe here.
1120
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,085
And you had the most to lose,
didn't you?
1121
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,920
Because Otley, Bunting, Rogers -
they could all have bounced back
1122
01:23:36,955 --> 01:23:39,005
from such an exposure, but not you.
1123
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:42,800
You, your whole professional life
would have been destroyed.
1124
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,365
And when bunting
tried his blackmail,
1125
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:50,005
then you, Rogers, the entire
conspiracy was threatened.
1126
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,200
Geoff Rogers couldn't bring himself
to kill Bunting, could he?
1127
01:23:53,235 --> 01:23:55,320
He didn't have the stomach
for murder.
1128
01:23:55,355 --> 01:23:56,880
But you did.
1129
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,520
And you knew every detail
of Swanscombe House
1130
01:24:07,555 --> 01:24:09,725
like the back of your hand,
didn't you?
1131
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,480
Because of your work
on the planning application.
1132
01:24:12,515 --> 01:24:15,200
And you took the safety device off
the patio doors.
1133
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,680
And then Geoff Rogers
became a danger
1134
01:24:25,715 --> 01:24:27,720
because he wanted out.
1135
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:33,760
I want the best, and it's
within reach if we don't panic.
1136
01:24:33,795 --> 01:24:35,720
I'm really not sure I'm up to this,
Liz.
1137
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,845
Jeff Rogers,
he loved you, didn't he?
1138
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:45,560
He trusted you. So it was easy
to spike his drink with Ketamine...
1139
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,920
..the drug you'd taken
from James Otley
1140
01:24:49,955 --> 01:24:52,045
when he was treating your horse.
1141
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,960
And when you'd rendered
the poor fellow helpless...
1142
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:57,960
..you killed him.
1143
01:25:39,480 --> 01:25:42,125
And of course
the use of the drug Ketamine,
1144
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,960
that pointed the finger at
your one remaining co-conspirator,
1145
01:25:45,995 --> 01:25:48,005
James Otley.
1146
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,885
And if you had managed to introduce
1147
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:55,240
the fatal Irukandji syndrome
to Mr Swanscombe here...
1148
01:25:55,275 --> 01:25:58,320
My God, Liz!
Yes, sir.
1149
01:25:59,480 --> 01:26:03,165
..and that exotic toxin
had been detected,
1150
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,440
then James Otley would have been
in the frame twice.
1151
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:09,405
Poor old James.
1152
01:26:09,440 --> 01:26:11,725
Good vet, lousy lover.
1153
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:15,880
But your loyal accomplice
in all this was your one true love.
1154
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,160
Though I doubt if you know
the meaning of the word.
1155
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:26,880
I thought everything we'd planned for
was falling apart.
1156
01:26:26,915 --> 01:26:29,200
But you kept your nerve, love.
1157
01:26:29,235 --> 01:26:31,160
Anything for you.
1158
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:37,920
And you rewarded her with the
promise of a future life together,
1159
01:26:37,955 --> 01:26:41,440
financed by your...paymasters.
1160
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:47,120
The venture capitalists financing
the secret supermarket development.
1161
01:26:47,155 --> 01:26:48,200
Ooh!
1162
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,880
In the County Council by-election
1163
01:27:17,915 --> 01:27:20,577
for the seat of Great Pelfe,
1164
01:27:20,612 --> 01:27:23,240
the votes cast were as follows:
1165
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,560
Norman Anthony Swanscombe...
1166
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,800
..254.
1167
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:36,680
David Patrick Walsh,
1168
01:27:36,715 --> 01:27:38,605
306.
1169
01:27:46,440 --> 01:27:51,440
I declare David Patrick Walsh
duly elected.
1170
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,880
It's what Maureen would have wanted.
1171
01:27:57,915 --> 01:28:01,200
Well done. Many congratulations.
Thanks very much.
1172
01:28:03,440 --> 01:28:05,325
Look, I've got...
1173
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:09,240
Those two are
starting to look like cronies.
1174
01:28:09,275 --> 01:28:13,085
You can't rely on
politicians' promises, Joyce.
1175
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:17,040
There'll be a Pelfe Chase development
yet, you'll see.
