1
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:19,540
Come on, Ferdy, get a wriggle on!

2
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:22,620
OK, that is three caprese
salads and one ginger scallops.

3
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:23,680
Yes, Chef.

4
00:00:23,730 --> 00:00:25,640
Amy, let me look at those.

5
00:00:25,690 --> 00:00:27,520
Service!

6
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:30,690
- Table Five says the lamb's underdone.
- Tell them they're wrong.

7
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:32,560
Ready to go!

8
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:34,610
That's for you, madam.

9
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,630
And also for you, sir.

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:39,740
Lovely, thanks.

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,640
Excuse me, sir.

12
00:00:42,690 --> 00:00:43,780
Sir?

13
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:47,670
Where is my ravioli?

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,730
Roast duck and pomegranate
salads coming up.

15
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:11,750
Amy, your father's here.

16
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,470
- Go and find out what he wants.
- Nope, too busy.

17
00:01:15,730 --> 00:01:17,620
Check on, Chef.

18
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:22,530
OK. Three classic cocktails,
one herb chicken and a venison.

19
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:23,650
Yes, Chef.

20
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,550
Good evening, Martin. This
is an unexpected pleasure.

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,234
I'm afraid this table is reserved,

22
00:01:33,235 --> 00:01:35,256
but I'll get another one
set up for you right away.

23
00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:36,920
I thought I'd look in
and see how you're doing.

24
00:01:38,051 --> 00:01:39,378
Very nicely, it seems.

25
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:40,800
Have you decided what you'd like to eat?

26
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,710
I have a hankering for truffles.

27
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,570
I'm afraid we don't have
truffles on the menu.

28
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:50,720
Really?

29
00:01:50,770 --> 00:01:52,660
I'm surprised.

30
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:54,770
Olly here has a nose for them, you know.

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,980
Well, if you've no truffles, I'll be off.

32
00:01:57,981 --> 00:02:00,010
Don't really fancy anything else.

33
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:05,730
This is for you.

34
00:02:06,850 --> 00:02:09,650
- What is it?
- Business matter.

35
00:02:10,650 --> 00:02:12,730
It'll come as a bit of a shock, I'm afraid.

36
00:02:15,710 --> 00:02:17,670
Come on, Olly. Come on. Good boy.

37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,580
Good boy. Come on.

38
00:04:27,710 --> 00:04:28,690
Nick.

39
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:31,530
Leave those and get up here.

40
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:32,640
Morels!

41
00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:35,690
- Isn't that Martin Strickland's land?
- So?

42
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:37,790
Don't be such a wimp and come help me.

43
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:47,550
Darling?

44
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,670
Mm?

45
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,740
Could you pass me that cushion?

46
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:52,620
Mm.

47
00:04:54,590 --> 00:04:56,550
Thank you.

48
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,800
And the footstool.

49
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:06,640
What happened to "I'm not ill"?

50
00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:08,610
Ah, so you were listening!

51
00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:12,570
Fair enough, I will try to stop fussing.

52
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Hey, boy, do you like your new bowl?

53
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:22,610
Apparently not.

54
00:05:22,660 --> 00:05:24,720
He hardly ate anything yesterday, either.

55
00:05:26,670 --> 00:05:28,720
Maybe he's ordered a takeaway.

56
00:05:33,710 --> 00:05:36,680
There's a body in the woods
over at Midsomer Wyvern, sir.

57
00:05:38,610 --> 00:05:40,670
Hello, Sykesy. How you doing, boy?

58
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,580
Hello, Charlie. How is
your lovely landlady?

59
00:05:43,630 --> 00:05:44,778
Already at the crime scene.

60
00:05:44,779 --> 00:05:47,105
You're up early. I thought
you were on maternity leave.

61
00:05:47,630 --> 00:05:49,720
- My first day.
- You're meant to be taking it easy.

62
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:51,770
Yes, darling, of course.

63
00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:54,750
Keep an eye on her, Sykes,
and eat your breakfast.

64
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,800
He's off his food.

65
00:05:58,740 --> 00:06:00,640
See you.

66
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,470
Local farmer by the name
of Martin Strickland.

67
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,500
A woman who lives nearby
found the body tied to the tree

68
00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:15,690
and called it in at 6:23am.

69
00:06:16,670 --> 00:06:19,720
At 7:05, there was another call, anonymous,

70
00:06:19,721 --> 00:06:21,566
from a phone box in Causton.

71
00:06:22,590 --> 00:06:25,620
The victim's wallet and mobile
were still in his pockets.

72
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:29,460
I'll check his calls once
the phone's been processed.

73
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:31,470
Footprints, two different sets.

74
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,650
Look quite fresh.

75
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:35,540
See they make casts.
Initial thoughts, Kate?

76
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:38,580
He died some time between midnight and 2am.

77
00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:40,490
No sign of head injury.

78
00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:43,640
I won't be able to say whether he's been
shot until I get him back on the slab.

79
00:06:43,690 --> 00:06:46,480
But most of his chest and stomach are gone.

80
00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:48,608
Not to get too technical about it,

81
00:06:48,609 --> 00:06:51,497
I'd say he's been eaten by something.

82
00:06:51,740 --> 00:06:53,740
Before or after death?

83
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:56,500
Before, unfortunately.

84
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:00,610
Maybe a big cat?

85
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:04,470
There are meant to be dozens
roaming wild all over the place.

86
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,650
Pumas, mostly.

87
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:09,480
Does your Book of Urban Myths also
say pumas are good at tying knots?

88
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:10,560
This is murder.

89
00:07:10,610 --> 00:07:11,690
Sir!

90
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:18,670
Come on, guys, half an hour till service.

91
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,560
- Where's my crayfish?
- Five minutes, Chef.

92
00:07:21,610 --> 00:07:23,570
Ferdy, how long for that lettuce?

93
00:07:23,620 --> 00:07:25,620
You said be thorough.

94
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,480
Nick? It's split.

95
00:07:29,530 --> 00:07:31,530
No, it's not.

96
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:35,690
Start again.

97
00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:38,620
Shall I do the rillettes, Chef,
since Nick's gonna be behind?

98
00:07:39,530 --> 00:07:40,730
Yes. Thank you, Amy.

99
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:43,680
Morning! It's your friendly local butcher,

100
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:47,530
with all the choicest
cuts and juiciest gossip.

101
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:49,580
Let's see what you've got.

102
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:54,540
Are you sure this beef's
been hung for long enough?

103
00:07:54,590 --> 00:07:55,690
I strung it up myself, 28 days ago.

104
00:07:55,740 --> 00:07:58,510
It's not the Belted
Galloway I asked for, though.

105
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,860
Boss said he won't be able to
get his hands on any of that

106
00:08:00,861 --> 00:08:02,321
until next week at the earliest.

107
00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:06,470
If the Riverside Inn's got Galloway on
the menu before that, there'll be trouble.

108
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,288
Ruth, we wouldn't do
that to our best customer.

109
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:10,072
Sign here, please.

110
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,600
Ferdy!

111
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:15,540
Ta.

112
00:08:15,590 --> 00:08:17,550
Get this meat in the chiller.

113
00:08:23,530 --> 00:08:25,490
Did she believe you about the beef?

114
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:27,470
I can't keep this up much longer, Johnny.

115
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,560
Last time, I promise. Thanks, Stephanie.

116
00:08:29,610 --> 00:08:31,510
You're a star.

117
00:08:38,540 --> 00:08:39,690
Over there, I think.

118
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Yes?

119
00:08:53,730 --> 00:08:55,670
Lizzy Thornfield?

120
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,530
Yes.

121
00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:59,570
May we come in?

122
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,470
What were you doing out in the woods
so early this morning, Ms Thornfield?

123
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,480
Collecting firewood.

124
00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:09,550
Before anyone was around to stop you?

125
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:15,016
You recognised Martin
Strickland straightaway.

126
00:09:15,017 --> 00:09:16,277
How well did you know him?

127
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,520
Better than I wanted to.

128
00:09:19,570 --> 00:09:21,570
You disliked him? Why?

129
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:25,720
Arrogant landowners aren't my type.

130
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,540
Did you hear anything unusual
in the woods last night?

131
00:09:33,550 --> 00:09:34,740
There were some gunshots.

132
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:38,620
Around midnight. I assumed it was poachers.

133
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:45,640
Wild Oats and Ginseng.
Very good for your libido.

134
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:00,740
Do you want me to come with
you to see Mrs Strickland?

135
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:05,460
You stay here until Forensics are
ready to release the victim's phone.

136
00:10:05,510 --> 00:10:07,680
I guess it only takes one
of us to break bad news.

137
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:12,700
Look what's just arrived.

138
00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:15,650
Wild Harvest. Huh?

139
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:20,510
"This year's must-have book from
one of Britain's most exciting chefs.

140
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:22,550
Destined to become an instant classic."

141
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Let me take a look.

142
00:10:24,740 --> 00:10:27,460
I'm still not sure about the cover.

143
00:10:27,510 --> 00:10:28,680
It's fabulous, hello, bestseller list.

144
00:10:28,730 --> 00:10:30,570
It looks amazing.

145
00:10:31,550 --> 00:10:32,550
Cool.

146
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,740
- I'm sure the author will be happy to sign them.
- Later.

147
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:37,460
Come on now, everyone, back to work!

148
00:10:37,510 --> 00:10:39,500
Come on, there's service in ten minutes!

149
00:10:39,550 --> 00:10:41,570
Tout de suite ! Come on, kids! Come on!

150
00:10:54,540 --> 00:10:55,670
An animal attack?

151
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,720
That doesn't make sense.

152
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,530
We're still trying to
establish exactly what happened,

153
00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:06,550
but I'm afraid there's not much
doubt that your husband was murdered.

154
00:11:08,530 --> 00:11:09,915
Do you have any idea what
he might have been doing

155
00:11:09,916 --> 00:11:11,246
out in the woods so late at night?

156
00:11:12,670 --> 00:11:16,610
I would say taking Olly for a walk,
but he brought him back about ten.

157
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:19,630
And then went out again?
Didn't that strike you as odd?

158
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,520
Not particularly.

159
00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:23,229
We have problems with poachers.

160
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:25,529
And it's only a couple of nights
since the truffles were stolen.

161
00:11:26,540 --> 00:11:27,550
Truffles?

162
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,530
About �10,000 worth, Martin
said. All dug up overnight.

163
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:33,540
Did he report it?

164
00:11:34,540 --> 00:11:35,740
I assume so.

165
00:11:38,650 --> 00:11:39,656
And this morning...

166
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:42,771
weren't you alarmed when you realised
your husband hadn't come home?

167
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,480
I didn't realise.

168
00:11:45,530 --> 00:11:48,580
Although, come to think of
it, Olly was whining to go out.

169
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,720
Martin very often slept in the spare room.

170
00:11:53,740 --> 00:11:56,640
We keep very different
hours, and he snores...

171
00:11:58,060 --> 00:11:59,339
... used to snore.

172
00:12:03,530 --> 00:12:06,530
Had Mr Strickland fallen
out with anyone lately?

173
00:12:06,740 --> 00:12:09,600
Probably. He usually had.

174
00:12:09,650 --> 00:12:13,490
There was something going on with
the restaurant people, I believe.

175
00:12:13,540 --> 00:12:15,740
- Which restaurant would that be?
- Wyvern House.

176
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,730
Used to be the family
home, once upon a time.

177
00:12:19,631 --> 00:12:19,883
We still own the freehold.

178
00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:21,640
What was the dispute about?

179
00:12:21,690 --> 00:12:23,690
I really don't know.

180
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,610
Do you have any children, Mrs Strickland?

181
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:29,570
No.

182
00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:34,540
Martin does have a daughter
from his first marriage.

183
00:12:34,590 --> 00:12:36,660
She works at Wyvern House, as it happens.

184
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:41,580
I suppose I really ought
to call the poor girl.

185
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,600
Well done, everybody. Really well done.

186
00:12:52,650 --> 00:12:54,490
Nick?

187
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:57,670
The scallops for Table Two were
cooked for 15 seconds too long.

188
00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:01,650
Amy, you mangled a perfectly
good partridge breast

189
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:03,700
and your creme anglaise was runny.

190
00:13:06,570 --> 00:13:08,530
But generally, excellent work.

191
00:13:08,580 --> 00:13:10,580
Sorry.

192
00:13:14,590 --> 00:13:16,590
Camilla, what do you want?

193
00:13:19,630 --> 00:13:20,650
What?

194
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,700
And let me know when you've
traced the number. Thanks.

195
00:13:29,630 --> 00:13:31,590
What's up, Charlie boy?

196
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,650
Martin Strickland's last phone call
was to an agricultural supplies company.

197
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:37,700
So? He's a farmer.

198
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:41,560
The call was placed at 11:13 at night.

199
00:13:52,670 --> 00:13:54,550
What do you farm here?

200
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,520
Beef cattle, mostly.

201
00:13:56,690 --> 00:13:59,670
And Martin ran some commercial
shoots up in the woods...

202
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,690
pheasant, deer, wild
boar, that kind of thing.

203
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:06,590
Camilla, do you know where Martin
is? I've not seen him all morning.

204
00:14:08,510 --> 00:14:10,510
Martin's dead, Jamie.

205
00:14:11,510 --> 00:14:13,470
Oh, my God, that's terrible!

206
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Sorry, sir, you are?

207
00:14:15,530 --> 00:14:17,510
Jamie... Weston.

208
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,560
Jamie worked for Martin.

209
00:14:20,570 --> 00:14:22,680
Well... for me now, I suppose.

210
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,580
Excuse me.

211
00:14:28,630 --> 00:14:29,600
Nelson?

212
00:14:29,650 --> 00:14:34,620
'Sir, Strickland's phone lists his last
call as an agricultural supplies company.'

213
00:14:34,670 --> 00:14:38,161
But it turns out the number actually
belongs to an Angela Linklater,

214
00:14:38,162 --> 00:14:40,678
landlady of the village pub.

215
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:43,580
- Make mine a half.
- 'Sir.'

216
00:15:07,550 --> 00:15:10,550
- Angela Linklater?
- That's me. Ooh!

217
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,630
Come to do a spot check on my
pumps and barrels, have you?

218
00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:18,670
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby,
Causton CID, this is DS Nelson.

219
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,640
Could you tell me the nature of the phone
call you received from Martin Strickland,

220
00:15:22,690 --> 00:15:24,630
just after eleven o'clock last night?

221
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,680
Why do you want to know?

222
00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:31,510
Because Mr Strickland was found
murdered early this morning.

223
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,500
Oh, God!

224
00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:35,650
No.

225
00:15:40,530 --> 00:15:41,690
The phone call?

226
00:15:43,530 --> 00:15:44,590
Erm...

227
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,640
he just rang to say good night.

228
00:15:47,690 --> 00:15:49,510
Sorry.

229
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,590
I take it your relationship with
Mr Strickland was a close one?

230
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:56,660
Nothing serious.

231
00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:59,560
But we'd been seeing
each other for a while.

232
00:15:59,710 --> 00:16:02,740
Your number was stored in his
phone as "Agricultural Suppliers".

233
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,710
Was that to keep it hidden from his wife?

234
00:16:07,530 --> 00:16:08,640
Shall we?

235
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,590
I didn't know he'd done
that. But I suppose so, yes.

236
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:24,660
When did you last see him?

237
00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:29,500
Erm... he came in for a
drink last night around nine.

238
00:16:29,550 --> 00:16:32,520
He wanted to spend the night,
but I was shattered, so I said no.

239
00:16:32,570 --> 00:16:34,480
How often did he stay at yours?

240
00:16:34,530 --> 00:16:36,530
A couple of times a week.

241
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:40,480
So surely Mrs Strickland
must have suspected something?

242
00:16:40,530 --> 00:16:42,490
Of course she did.

243
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:44,530
She came in here a couple of months ago,

244
00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:47,435
and told me to stay away from her husband,

245
00:16:47,436 --> 00:16:49,436
or she'd be back with a shotgun.

246
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,540
What did you say?

247
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:55,540
I told her she needed to talk to her
husband before she started shooting people.

248
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:57,690
Do you know if she did?
Talk to her husband, that is?

249
00:16:57,740 --> 00:16:59,620
I doubt it.

250
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:01,992
The last thing Camilla
wanted was a divorce.

251
00:17:01,993 --> 00:17:03,993
I mean, where would she keep her horse?

252
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,680
Sorry.

253
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,500
Do you mind telling us your movements
last night, after Mr Strickland left?

254
00:17:11,550 --> 00:17:14,510
I was in the bar until
eleven, then clearing up.

255
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,590
Martin called, I suppose,
hoping I'd changed my mind.

256
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,510
And then I went to bed.

257
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,520
You live on the premises? Alone?

258
00:17:22,570 --> 00:17:24,570
With my son.

259
00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:26,690
Was he at home last night?

260
00:17:27,670 --> 00:17:30,580
Ferdy works at his father's
place, Wyvern House.

261
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:33,510
He doesn't usually get
back till gone midnight.

262
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,540
Wyvern House is Ruth
Cameron's restaurant, isn't it?

263
00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:38,590
She's married to Johnny, my ex.

264
00:17:40,540 --> 00:17:42,660
Don't worry, it's all very civilised.

265
00:18:01,670 --> 00:18:03,630
Are we safe now, do you think?

266
00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:07,690
Unless Martin shared
his plan with his wife.

267
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:10,670
But dreadful thing to happen, of course.

268
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,660
Though it couldn't have
happened to a nastier man. No.

269
00:18:16,510 --> 00:18:17,510
Johnny?

270
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,620
If you know something
you're not telling me...

271
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,560
You'd better look at this.

272
00:18:37,570 --> 00:18:39,620
He died of multiple penetrating injuries,

273
00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:41,670
but no sign of gunshot or knife wounds.

274
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,630
The torso's a mess, bite
marks and saliva everywhere.

275
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,510
Nasty.

276
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,520
He'd ingested a hefty dose of Valerian,
as well as a fair bit of alcohol.

277
00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:53,470
Valerian?

278
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,460
A natural sleeping remedy.

279
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:57,470
But here's the really strange part.

280
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,460
The torso was smeared with a
viscous substance before the attack.

281
00:19:01,510 --> 00:19:06,640
I've sent samples off for testing,
but I am pretty sure it's truffle oil.

282
00:19:06,690 --> 00:19:07,740
That's crazy.

283
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,650
They use pigs to hunt for truffles
on the continent, don't they?

284
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:15,520
Yes, they do.

285
00:19:15,710 --> 00:19:18,560
You think Martin Strickland
was eaten by a pig?

286
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:21,550
Not a pig.

287
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,560
An ancient relative...

288
00:19:23,610 --> 00:19:25,570
a wild boar.

289
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:28,580
Camilla Strickland said
there are some in the woods.

290
00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:32,640
So Martin Strickland is
drugged and tied to a tree...

291
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:35,620
... possibly at gunpoint.

292
00:19:35,670 --> 00:19:40,570
Then daubed with an oil the killer
knows will prove irresistible

293
00:19:40,620 --> 00:19:43,640
to a large, omnivorous wild animal...

294
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:47,510
... and abandoned to his fate.

295
00:19:48,610 --> 00:19:50,690
Hard to think of a more
horrible way to die.

296
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,530
Come in.

297
00:20:02,580 --> 00:20:04,580
- Tea?
- No, thanks.

298
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,520
When did it happen?

299
00:20:08,570 --> 00:20:10,720
Early hours of this
morning, the police think.

300
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:15,670
I called you as soon as I knew.

301
00:20:19,660 --> 00:20:21,580
I'm very sorry, Amy.

302
00:20:22,650 --> 00:20:25,700
He was very fond of you, you
know, in spite of everything.

303
00:20:26,660 --> 00:20:28,540
Yes.

304
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,570
And of course, you'll
always be welcome here.

305
00:20:35,550 --> 00:20:37,550
Oh, dear, you don't know, do you?

306
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:40,500
Know what?

307
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:43,590
Dad left everything to me.

308
00:20:49,060 --> 00:20:51,140
Anything on this morning's anonymous call?

309
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:54,160
An adult male. Probably holding his nose.

310
00:20:54,210 --> 00:20:57,000
But I could've told you that. What's next?

311
00:20:57,050 --> 00:21:00,040
A visit to the farm. The
cartridges we found in the wood.

312
00:21:00,090 --> 00:21:03,090
What's the betting they
match one of their shotguns?

313
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,158
Head over and start the search
at Jamie Weston's cottage.

314
00:21:11,159 --> 00:21:12,444
Take Phillips with you.

315
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:15,160
I'll go and see...

316
00:21:17,010 --> 00:21:19,010
You two!

317
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,980
I'm sorry, Camilla. But you're
not going to find anything.

318
00:21:32,930 --> 00:21:34,890
Are you Amy Strickland?

319
00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:36,890
Yes, are you the police?

320
00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:44,000
Why don't you go and have a chat
with Detective Sergeant Nelson?

321
00:21:48,820 --> 00:21:50,780
Now, Mrs Strickland...

322
00:21:50,830 --> 00:21:52,840
why don't you tell what's going on?

323
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:58,980
Why didn't you go and speak to your father
when he came into the restaurant last night?

324
00:21:59,030 --> 00:22:02,840
I wish I had now, of
course. But I was busy.

325
00:22:02,890 --> 00:22:04,850
Were you and he close?

326
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:06,920
Very, when I was a little girl.

327
00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:09,950
And again when my mother died.

328
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,990
Then he married Camilla.

329
00:22:12,910 --> 00:22:15,010
And that put a strain on your relationship?

330
00:22:15,970 --> 00:22:16,980
Yes.

331
00:22:17,030 --> 00:22:21,900
But I think he was starting to realise
that she was only interested in his money.

332
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:24,960
Sorry, I probably shouldn't have said that.

333
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,830
Did you and Mr Strickland
never discuss his will?

334
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,990
No.

335
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,860
I trusted him to do the right thing.

336
00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:38,910
Big mistake.

337
00:22:39,870 --> 00:22:42,930
He always doted on that girl,
despite the way she treated us both.

338
00:22:42,980 --> 00:22:46,880
They barely spoke for years,
except when Amy wanted some money.

339
00:22:48,890 --> 00:22:50,940
But they'd been getting on better, lately?

340
00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:56,970
And your relationship with your
husband? Any recent disagreements?

341
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,040
No. Or at least, no more than usual.

342
00:23:01,050 --> 00:23:04,970
But you knew about his affair
with Angela Linklater, didn't you?

343
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,010
You should have told
me about that, you know.

344
00:23:10,970 --> 00:23:13,050
I was trying to preserve a little dignity.

345
00:23:21,020 --> 00:23:24,840
James Weston? We have a warrant
to search these premises.

346
00:23:28,010 --> 00:23:31,790
Standard twelve-bore. Many
people round here got 'em.

347
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,800
When were they last fired?

348
00:23:33,850 --> 00:23:37,960
Um... I went out Sunday, after rabbits.

349
00:23:42,940 --> 00:23:44,810
Nothing seems to be missing.

350
00:23:44,860 --> 00:23:46,020
If you say so.

351
00:23:47,910 --> 00:23:49,940
I thought you said he was eaten, not shot?

352
00:23:51,030 --> 00:23:54,050
Several shotgun cartridges
were found near the body.

353
00:23:56,870 --> 00:24:00,800
Is there another key to this cupboard,
besides the one on your husband's key-ring?

354
00:24:00,850 --> 00:24:02,040
I really have no idea.

355
00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:14,980
Good book?

356
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,820
You don't catch me reading books
about meat in my free time, do you?

357
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:25,000
You know, I swear you dream about food.

358
00:24:25,050 --> 00:24:26,970
What's wrong?

359
00:24:27,020 --> 00:24:28,880
This.

360
00:24:32,990 --> 00:24:34,990
She's stolen all my recipes, Steph.

361
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,920
Amy! We didn't expect you back today.

362
00:24:39,970 --> 00:24:41,940
I didn't want to leave you in the lurch.

363
00:24:44,010 --> 00:24:46,890
You're mad. I'd have taken the week off.

364
00:24:46,940 --> 00:24:47,980
I'm sure.

365
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,840
Ferdy.

366
00:25:00,890 --> 00:25:03,860
- You sure you don't want one, mate?
- Sure, thanks.

367
00:25:04,810 --> 00:25:06,940
Rough day. I need to get back.

368
00:25:06,990 --> 00:25:10,800
After what she's done to you? If you
won't quit, at least take the night off!

369
00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:12,810
I can't, not with Amy gone.

370
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:14,960
Are you gonna be Ruth
Cameron's lapdog all your life?

371
00:25:15,010 --> 00:25:16,970
Let the man make his own decisions.

372
00:25:17,020 --> 00:25:19,850
Not until I can trust him
to make the right ones.

373
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:21,050
She's always been like this.

374
00:25:21,810 --> 00:25:23,479
Another kid was nasty
to me in the playground,

375
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,480
my little sister would beat 'em up.

376
00:25:26,850 --> 00:25:29,850
He won't say anything to her
about it, I know he won't.

377
00:25:32,860 --> 00:25:35,050
Hey, um... the police came.

378
00:25:35,810 --> 00:25:37,810
They took the shotguns.

379
00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:45,770
Where the hell have you been?

380
00:25:45,820 --> 00:25:47,950
I didn't think you'd notice
whether I was here or not.

381
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Since according to this...

382
00:25:50,010 --> 00:25:51,520
I don't exist.

383
00:25:51,870 --> 00:25:53,080
What's wrong?

384
00:25:53,230 --> 00:25:54,723
Oh, nothing important.

385
00:25:54,724 --> 00:25:58,368
Just the fact that most of the
recipes in here are actually mine.

386
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,820
Terrine of three wild
roots with juniper berries.

387
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,020
- I made that first.
- The juniper berries were my idea.

388
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,930
Blackberry dumplings with
lavender and rosewater ice.

389
00:26:10,980 --> 00:26:13,870
"My beloved granny's recipe."

390
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,820
- I'm not your granny!
- You can't talk to Ruth like that.

391
00:26:16,870 --> 00:26:18,830
Stay out of this, Amy.

392
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,930
Game pie with whisky jelly.

393
00:26:23,940 --> 00:26:27,780
"I often make this at home, for
a relaxed lunch with friends."

394
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:29,850
You don't have any friends.

395
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,980
You have an inflated idea
of your own importance, Nick.

396
00:26:34,030 --> 00:26:35,860
These are my recipes, Ruth.

397
00:26:35,910 --> 00:26:40,830
Dishes I devised, worked on and
perfected, and you've stolen them from me!

398
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,950
I taught you everything you
know! And don't you forget it.

399
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,820
I have acknowledged your contribution.

400
00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:52,770
"Grateful thanks to my husband Johnny
and my wonderful team at Wyvern House."

401
00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:53,850
I'm overwhelmed.

402
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:57,000
How many books do you
think your name would sell?

403
00:26:57,970 --> 00:27:01,910
How many people would come to
Wyvern House to eat Nick Iver's food?

404
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,990
There is only one star in this
kitchen, and it is me, not you!

405
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,040
And if you don't like it, you can get out!

406
00:27:16,830 --> 00:27:18,030
And don't come back!

407
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,860
Traitor!

408
00:27:23,860 --> 00:27:25,840
Ferdy, get me a broom!

409
00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:27,960
- No, no, don't touch it.
- Agh!

410
00:27:28,010 --> 00:27:30,860
Agh!  Agh.

411
00:27:32,940 --> 00:27:34,940
- Let me see that.
- Get off me!

412
00:27:52,980 --> 00:27:54,950
You can't let Nick get away with this.

413
00:27:54,951 --> 00:27:57,218
I know you two go back a
long way, but he's dangerous.

414
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:05,940
That looks nasty.

415
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,820
Occupational hazard.

416
00:28:10,990 --> 00:28:12,870
What do you want?

417
00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:17,840
This is DCI Barnaby from
Causton CID, I'm DS Nelson.

418
00:28:17,890 --> 00:28:19,870
We need to have a word.

419
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,050
Is your husband about, Ms Cameron?

420
00:28:23,010 --> 00:28:26,385
I understand Mr Strickland
owned Wvyern House,

421
00:28:26,386 --> 00:28:28,054
and you leased the building from him?

422
00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:29,860
That's right.

423
00:28:29,910 --> 00:28:31,870
And you've been here now... ?

424
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Just over two years.

425
00:28:35,010 --> 00:28:37,910
How was your relationship
with Mr Strickland?

426
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,790
The usual wrangles between landlord and
tenant about who was responsible for what.

427
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,800
But no major problems.

428
00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:48,960
Do you really need me? Only we're
short-staffed in the kitchen.

429
00:28:49,010 --> 00:28:52,870
If you wouldn't mind staying
for a few minutes, Ms Cameron.

430
00:28:55,850 --> 00:28:59,870
I'm curious about the truffles that were
stolen from Martin Strickland's land.

431
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:02,880
What about them?

432
00:29:02,930 --> 00:29:06,663
A gourmet restaurant that prides
itself on using local produce.

433
00:29:06,664 --> 00:29:07,907
Did you consider buying them?

434
00:29:08,020 --> 00:29:11,840
Martin did approach me, but
his prices were far too high.

435
00:29:11,890 --> 00:29:15,890
Why did Mr Strickland come here last
night, then leave without eating?

436
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,950
He hadn't booked, and we were full.

437
00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:23,840
He had a drink, we exchanged
pleasantries, and he left.

438
00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:27,800
- Did you speak to him, Ms Cameron?
- No.

439
00:29:27,850 --> 00:29:31,990
I'm not the kind of chef that spends half their
night in the dining-room, glad-handing guests.

440
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,930
- What time did you finish work
yesterday? - About half-twelve.

441
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:43,940
Were you the last person to leave?

442
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:47,000
Apart from Ruth and my dad. I
had to do all the clearing up.

443
00:29:47,050 --> 00:29:49,050
- What did you do then?
- I went home,

444
00:29:49,810 --> 00:29:51,930
played Zombie Cannibal
for a bit, and went to bed.

445
00:29:51,980 --> 00:29:54,960
I haven't tried Zombie
Cannibal yet. Is it any good?

446
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,860
Did you know about your mother's
relationship with Martin Strickland, Ferdy?

447
00:30:03,910 --> 00:30:04,940
Everybody knew.

448
00:30:04,990 --> 00:30:07,970
- How did you feel about it?
- I thought it was pathetic.

449
00:30:08,020 --> 00:30:10,800
- Why's that, then?
- They're both old.

450
00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:12,860
You'll be their age one day, mate.

451
00:30:12,910 --> 00:30:14,870
If I am, I won't carry on like that.

452
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:15,980
Like what?

453
00:30:16,030 --> 00:30:19,970
Stopping other people from sleeping,
just to prove they can still get it on.

454
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:23,960
Did you feel that Martin was
trying to replace your dad?

455
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:27,850
He would never replace my dad.

456
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:29,900
I hated Martin.

457
00:30:35,870 --> 00:30:38,800
Well, he might have a cushy
number working for his dad,

458
00:30:38,850 --> 00:30:40,880
but Ferdy Linklater's got a fiery temper.

459
00:30:41,820 --> 00:30:43,860
Have you let a suspect get under your skin?

460
00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:45,050
You think he's a suspect?

461
00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:47,770
Everyone's a suspect at this stage.

462
00:30:47,820 --> 00:30:51,950
None of the women in Martin Strickland's
life seem to care very much that he's dead.

463
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,940
Check them all out.

464
00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:58,900
And see what you can find in Strickland's
paperwork that relates to Wyvern House.

465
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,990
There's something Johnny
Linklater isn't telling us.

466
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,040
He's been sinking gin and
tonics like there's no tomorrow.

467
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,940
Yeah, I know, Stephanie, but
somebody's got to get him home.

468
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,810
OK. But I want him out
within the next half an hour.

469
00:31:26,990 --> 00:31:30,970
Does the name Lizzy or Elizabeth
Thornfield ring any bells?

470
00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:35,050
The sort of person who might have been
on a magazine cover, a long time ago?

471
00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:40,850
There was a Beth Thornfield who was
a model... in the late '60s, maybe?

472
00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:44,850
- I'm impressed you remember.
- I don't remember!

473
00:31:46,050 --> 00:31:48,818
I taught a module on
British popular culture

474
00:31:48,819 --> 00:31:51,840
in the 1960s to the A-Level
history group last year.

475
00:31:52,860 --> 00:31:55,880
So my childhood is history
now? How interesting.

476
00:31:57,050 --> 00:31:59,050
I'll take you for a walk later.

477
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,840
He's been for three already today.

478
00:32:03,890 --> 00:32:07,850
He's still not eaten anything, though,
even though I gave him his favourite.

479
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:10,010
Maybe we should take him to the vet.

480
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,130
Here.

481
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:55,270
Take this.

482
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,310
Wild celery.

483
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:02,100
- Do you really do this every day?
- Always.

484
00:33:02,150 --> 00:33:05,320
And you'll have to get used to it
now there's no Nick to come with me.

485
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,080
At this time in the morning?

486
00:33:33,170 --> 00:33:35,040
Ah, sir.

487
00:33:35,090 --> 00:33:37,320
I've been going through
Martin Strickland's stuff.

488
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,150
Two days before he died, he had
a meeting in Causton with "NI".

489
00:33:42,150 --> 00:33:44,110
Any idea who "NI" is?

490
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,240
My money's on the sous-chef
at Wyvern House, Nick Iver.

491
00:33:49,220 --> 00:33:51,060
And another thing.

492
00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:53,320
A mocked-up press release
for "New Wyvern House".

493
00:33:55,090 --> 00:33:57,240
Martin Strickland.

494
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,280
- Back to the restaurant?
- Not yet.

495
00:34:01,260 --> 00:34:04,240
First, we're going on a truffle hunt.

496
00:34:09,230 --> 00:34:11,230
- Do you have a moment?
- Of course.

497
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:15,040
How are you feeling, Amy?

498
00:34:15,090 --> 00:34:17,050
Do you need some time off after all?

499
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,060
No, the thing is...

500
00:34:19,110 --> 00:34:21,110
my father left everything to me.

501
00:34:23,170 --> 00:34:24,230
Really?

502
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,040
Well, congratulations, if
that doesn't seem too crass.

503
00:34:28,090 --> 00:34:30,170
So I suppose that makes me your landlady.

504
00:34:30,220 --> 00:34:32,260
But that's not what I wanted to talk about.

505
00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:35,701
I'm going to have money
soon, quite a lot of it.

506
00:34:35,702 --> 00:34:38,126
And I want to invest in Wyvern House.

507
00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:40,100
I see.

508
00:34:40,150 --> 00:34:42,140
I was thinking, we could
expand the business.

509
00:34:42,190 --> 00:34:45,120
Run courses, develop a
merchandising arm, maybe?

510
00:34:45,170 --> 00:34:49,140
The restaurant's wonderful, of
course, but it could be so much more!

511
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:52,230
It's a generous offer, certainly.

512
00:34:53,290 --> 00:34:55,250
What would you want in return?

513
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,180
A partnership.

514
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,110
- Business and creative.
- The kitchen is Ruth's domain.

515
00:35:01,290 --> 00:35:05,150
I know I have a lot to learn, but I
have ideas too, and I think together...

516
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,140
I'll talk to Ruth.

517
00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:10,160
But we mustn't rush into
any important decisions.

518
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,100
I hope you both give
this some serious thought.

519
00:35:41,130 --> 00:35:43,240
That there is where the
truffles were growing.

520
00:35:43,290 --> 00:35:45,950
�10,000 worth, Mrs Strickland said?

521
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,040
So Martin claimed.

522
00:35:49,090 --> 00:35:51,050
Which is madness, if you ask me.

523
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:54,150
I mean they're just mushrooms,
basically, aren't they?

524
00:35:55,180 --> 00:35:57,140
What's that doing there?

525
00:35:57,190 --> 00:36:01,110
Looks like a bat-box. But that's
funny, I never noticed that before.

526
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,170
Nelson?

527
00:36:04,210 --> 00:36:07,060
How long have you worked
on the farm, Mr Weston?

528
00:36:07,110 --> 00:36:09,070
Just over four years.

529
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,250
And how did you get on
with Martin Strickland?

530
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,240
Bit of a control freak, but he was OK,

531
00:36:14,290 --> 00:36:17,080
as long as you didn't let him get to you.

532
00:36:18,190 --> 00:36:21,070
Lizzy Thornfield didn't
like him much, did she?

533
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,270
No, well, er...

534
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,270
the pair of them, they had history.

535
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,220
What happened?

536
00:36:26,270 --> 00:36:29,190
Her dog got caught in a trap
Martin had set for the foxes.

537
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:31,200
Poor thing had to be put down.

538
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,230
Course, Lizzy came round to the farm, called
Martin every name under the sun. Said...

539
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,100
Said what?

540
00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:40,150
Nothing important.

541
00:36:41,170 --> 00:36:43,130
She threatened revenge?

542
00:36:43,180 --> 00:36:45,180
It were just talk.

543
00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:50,230
It's a security camera.

544
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:11,200
Neat piles, Ferdy, so the cover shows well.

545
00:37:14,260 --> 00:37:16,260
Not like that!

546
00:37:18,130 --> 00:37:20,090
Do I have to do this?

547
00:37:20,140 --> 00:37:21,210
Yes.

548
00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:25,270
How many books do you think you can
sell at an event like this? Ten? 15?

549
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,320
Every little helps.

550
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,190
Can I go now?

551
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:34,120
Yes, and start prepping the vegetables
for service. Amy will tell you what to do.

552
00:37:35,250 --> 00:37:37,250
How's Amy coping with her promotion?

553
00:37:38,230 --> 00:37:41,120
Temporary promotion. We'll see.

554
00:37:41,170 --> 00:37:43,210
She's got to do everything
on her own today.

555
00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:47,290
She er... she came to see me earlier.

556
00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:50,230
She wants to invest in the restaurant...

557
00:37:51,250 --> 00:37:53,210
... in return for a partnership...

558
00:37:53,260 --> 00:37:55,130
business and creative.

559
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,090
Who does she think she is?

560
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,080
The jumped-up little madam!

561
00:38:01,260 --> 00:38:03,290
I thought that would be your reaction.

562
00:38:05,190 --> 00:38:07,190
Do ex-wives get a discount?

563
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:09,250
Angela.

564
00:38:11,130 --> 00:38:13,090
I'm so sorry about Martin.

565
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:15,140
Yes, indeed.

566
00:38:17,150 --> 00:38:19,110
Oh, hello.

567
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,170
Would you mind signing this for me, please?

568
00:38:21,220 --> 00:38:23,070
How are you bearing up?

569
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,080
If there's anything I can do...

570
00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:27,170
Oh, stop oozing sympathy, Johnny.

571
00:38:27,220 --> 00:38:32,150
I liked Martin and it was a terrible
shock, but it's not going to break my heart.

572
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,260
Right.

573
00:38:33,310 --> 00:38:35,220
That's the spirit.

574
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:39,200
What?

575
00:38:41,130 --> 00:38:44,110
- I had some last week and they were lovely.
- Thank you.

576
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,250
Martin had a security
camera hidden in a tree.

577
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:48,300
You idiot! How did you not know?

578
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:53,100
OK.

579
00:38:53,150 --> 00:38:55,150
Thank you.

580
00:38:56,210 --> 00:38:59,130
Anything special you'd
like me to write inside?

581
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:03,220
"In loving memory of Max Thornfield."

582
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,150
Lizzy.

583
00:39:09,290 --> 00:39:12,140
Quite the celebrity these
days, aren't you, Ruth?

584
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,230
What would all your admirers
think if they knew the truth?

585
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:19,190
There is nothing to know.

586
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:22,260
You killed my son.

587
00:39:22,310 --> 00:39:24,310
I call that something.

588
00:39:33,110 --> 00:39:35,180
Could I have a copy for my Dennis, please?

589
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:38,220
- Dennis?
- Yes, please.

590
00:39:41,090 --> 00:39:43,040
Hi, everything OK?

591
00:39:43,090 --> 00:39:45,170
Hello, darling. Yes,
taking it nice and easy.

592
00:39:45,220 --> 00:39:48,230
You really don't need to ring
me quite so often. I'm fine.

593
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,050
Actually, I was calling to check on Sykes.

594
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:53,090
- Is he eating anything yet?
- Afraid not.

595
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:56,050
I took him to the vet's,
there's nothing physically wrong.

596
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:59,040
The vet says he seems to
think he might be depressed.

597
00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:01,190
- Depressed?
- I know, I'm really worried about him.

598
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:03,240
Try not to worry. We'll work it out.

599
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,260
You got me thinking about Beth
Thornfield, so I looked her up.

600
00:40:06,310 --> 00:40:10,180
She was a real glamour girl, mixed
with pop stars, lived the high life.

601
00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:13,280
And then she gave it all up in
her 20s when she had a child.

602
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:16,882
Thank you for that.

603
00:40:16,883 --> 00:40:19,665
Now stop whatever it is you're
really doing and put your feet up.

604
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,160
How did the book signing go?

605
00:40:27,210 --> 00:40:31,190
It's done, thank goodness. I never
knew there were so many villagers.

606
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,230
Sold 42 copies. I told
you it would be worth it.

607
00:40:37,140 --> 00:40:39,150
So, Amy, are we on schedule?

608
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,160
Yeah, cold starters and puddings are
done, salads and dressings are prepped,

609
00:40:43,210 --> 00:40:45,080
and the sauces are ready to go.

610
00:40:45,130 --> 00:40:47,120
- How long for the soup?
- Five minutes.

611
00:40:47,170 --> 00:40:49,170
Have you tasted it?

612
00:40:54,310 --> 00:40:59,170
- Did you follow the recipe exactly?
- Yes. There shouldn't be a problem.

613
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,300
Amy?

614
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,320
Amy?

615
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:15,260
Johnny!

616
00:41:15,310 --> 00:41:17,310
Somebody do something!

617
00:41:22,620 --> 00:41:25,660
I'm sorry that you've been
kept waiting, everyone.

618
00:41:25,710 --> 00:41:28,630
There's been an incident
in the kitchen, and um...

619
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,590
... I'm afraid you won't
be getting any lunch today.

620
00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:37,720
Kitchens are really hazardous places.

621
00:41:38,810 --> 00:41:41,640
One bite of a Death
Cap, and you're a goner.

622
00:41:42,650 --> 00:41:45,740
Rhubarb leaves will kill you
too, even faster than foxgloves.

623
00:41:45,790 --> 00:41:49,770
Is there any evidence that Amy Strickland
had eaten rhubarb leaves, or foxgloves?

624
00:41:49,820 --> 00:41:53,650
No, but she tasted this
soup just before she died.

625
00:41:54,580 --> 00:41:56,580
Wild celery and mushroom.

626
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,710
Was it poison, Kate?

627
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,660
Obviously, I can't say for
sure, yet, but I think so.

628
00:42:02,710 --> 00:42:06,790
That rictus grin, I've read about it
before. It's symptomatic of poisoning.

629
00:42:14,740 --> 00:42:16,680
Can't you answer that, for God's sake?

630
00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:18,810
It'll just be another bloody journalist.

631
00:42:35,740 --> 00:42:37,690
Oi! What are you doing?

632
00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:40,820
Ms Cameron, please.

633
00:42:53,790 --> 00:42:56,680
Field mushrooms, Agaricus campestris.

634
00:42:56,730 --> 00:42:59,780
They're quite similar to Amanita
virosa, the Destroying Angel,

635
00:42:59,830 --> 00:43:03,710
but looking at these, there doesn't
seem to be anything wrong with them.

636
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,790
Of course there isn't. I
picked them myself yesterday.

637
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,750
Are you assuming it was one of us?

638
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,800
Not necessarily.

639
00:43:12,780 --> 00:43:16,880
I understand the suppliers' entrance
is left unlocked during the day?

640
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,700
And the kitchen is always deserted
around 11:15 for staff lunch.

641
00:43:20,750 --> 00:43:23,720
Did Amy prepare all the
ingredients for the soup herself?

642
00:43:23,770 --> 00:43:26,760
No, Ferdy prepped for her.
At least, I told him to.

643
00:43:26,810 --> 00:43:30,630
I just took the stuff from the chiller
room, where you said it would be.

644
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,760
Did the mushrooms all look the same to you?

645
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:36,810
Some of them weren't darker than
others, for instance, or bigger?

646
00:43:36,860 --> 00:43:38,790
No, they all looked the same.

647
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,840
And the other ingredients?

648
00:43:41,740 --> 00:43:43,610
I chopped some stalks.

649
00:43:43,660 --> 00:43:44,750
Wild celery.

650
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,740
I picked it myself this
morning from the riverbank.

651
00:43:47,790 --> 00:43:51,770
Otherwise, onion and sweet potato
from the store, and chicken stock.

652
00:43:52,780 --> 00:43:55,680
Would Amy have left the
pot unattended at any stage?

653
00:43:55,730 --> 00:43:59,600
Probably. It doesn't need constant
watching, and we're so short-staffed.

654
00:43:59,650 --> 00:44:01,610
I fired my sous-chef yesterday.

655
00:44:01,660 --> 00:44:03,770
Nick Iver? Why did you do that?

656
00:44:03,820 --> 00:44:05,710
Professional differences.

657
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,730
- Is this the wild celery that was left over?
- Yeah.

658
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:10,850
Let me take a look at that.

659
00:44:11,740 --> 00:44:13,840
That's not the plant I picked this morning.

660
00:44:20,740 --> 00:44:22,610
As I thought.

661
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:24,660
Oenanthe crocata.

662
00:44:26,810 --> 00:44:28,810
Hemlock water dropwort.

663
00:44:30,670 --> 00:44:33,720
"Perhaps the most poisonous
plant native to Great Britain.

664
00:44:34,730 --> 00:44:37,800
The leaves smell characteristically
of celery or parsley.

665
00:44:37,850 --> 00:44:40,670
The roots are the most
toxic part of the plant.

666
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:44,780
The roots are pale yellow and
composed of five or more fleshy tubers.

667
00:44:44,830 --> 00:44:48,760
They are also known by the
name 'Dead Man's Fingers.'"

668
00:44:56,670 --> 00:44:58,670
Ferdy.

669
00:44:59,770 --> 00:45:01,770
Do you wanna tell me what these are?

670
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,770
- They're not mine.
- Oh, OK.

671
00:45:04,820 --> 00:45:08,750
So when we test the bag, we
won't find your fingerprints?

672
00:45:10,740 --> 00:45:12,810
Er... there's a website. With pictures.

673
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,640
And they tell you which ones are
poisonous and which ones... get you high.

674
00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:20,870
I haven't hurt anyone.

675
00:45:30,790 --> 00:45:32,790
Mrs Strickland?

676
00:45:42,710 --> 00:45:44,710
I'm sorry, I'm just...

677
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,880
Why is someone targeting us like this?

678
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,700
That's what we're trying to find out.

679
00:45:50,870 --> 00:45:54,600
Can you tell me where you
were this morning, please?

680
00:45:54,650 --> 00:45:55,830
Out riding.

681
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,650
Did you meet anyone?

682
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:02,610
Jamie saw me leave and...
I met one or two people.

683
00:46:02,660 --> 00:46:04,660
But no-one I knew.

684
00:46:04,870 --> 00:46:08,690
Yesterday, when you found out about
the will, you were clearly very angry.

685
00:46:08,740 --> 00:46:13,640
Now that Amy's dead, the entire
estate comes to you. Did you know that?

686
00:46:14,670 --> 00:46:16,670
Yes. And what of it?

687
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:20,710
I haven't been to Wyvern House since
my wedding anniversary over a year ago.

688
00:46:23,710 --> 00:46:26,680
I disliked my stepdaughter
and you're right,

689
00:46:26,730 --> 00:46:29,740
I was absolutely furious about the will.

690
00:46:29,790 --> 00:46:32,680
But that doesn't mean I killed Amy.

691
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:37,700
- Thanks, love.
- Cheers.

692
00:46:42,740 --> 00:46:46,820
Er... what are you doing home
so early? Have you been sacked?

693
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:48,820
No.

694
00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:50,860
Amy's dead, so they closed the restaurant.

695
00:46:51,870 --> 00:46:54,720
- What do you mean, Amy's dead?
- As in not alive any more.

696
00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:56,770
Ferdy!

697
00:46:57,710 --> 00:46:59,650
Poisoned soup. I was there.

698
00:47:01,740 --> 00:47:03,740
It was pretty horrible, actually.

699
00:47:18,770 --> 00:47:22,760
- Hi. I'm looking for Stephanie Weston.
- She's in the back.

700
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,680
Can I go through?

701
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,670
Got any nice marrow bones? I know
a dog who'd really appreciate one.

702
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,880
I'm DS Nelson. I was looking for Nick Iver.

703
00:47:39,820 --> 00:47:42,770
Maybe he's still in the flat. I
haven't seen him since this morning.

704
00:47:42,820 --> 00:47:44,750
What time was that?

705
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,600
Just after eight. He was still asleep.

706
00:47:47,650 --> 00:47:49,690
He had quite a lot to drink last night.

707
00:47:49,740 --> 00:47:51,820
My brother and I had to
fetch him home from the pub.

708
00:47:51,870 --> 00:47:54,690
Upset at being fired, was he?

709
00:47:55,700 --> 00:47:57,820
He's worked for Ruth
since he was a teenager.

710
00:47:59,820 --> 00:48:02,860
What time did he get home the
night before last, do you remember?

711
00:48:04,690 --> 00:48:08,670
About 11, as usual. Maybe a bit earlier.

712
00:48:10,790 --> 00:48:12,790
And where is your flat?

713
00:48:13,810 --> 00:48:15,660
I'll show you.

714
00:48:17,770 --> 00:48:19,770
I can't believe Amy's dead.

715
00:48:20,770 --> 00:48:23,700
I mean, was it something
to do with her dad?

716
00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:25,750
We don't know yet.

717
00:48:26,770 --> 00:48:28,730
The night Martin Strickland died,

718
00:48:28,780 --> 00:48:32,690
Stephanie thinks you got home from
the restaurant about 11. Is that right?

719
00:48:33,790 --> 00:48:35,860
- Nick?
- Yeah, that's right.

720
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,800
And you say you haven't
been out at all today?

721
00:48:41,670 --> 00:48:42,780
No.

722
00:48:46,670 --> 00:48:48,800
Were you and Amy friends?

723
00:48:48,850 --> 00:48:50,710
Not really.

724
00:48:52,650 --> 00:48:54,800
Amy didn't like taking orders
from Ruth, let alone me.

725
00:48:54,850 --> 00:48:57,810
But when you work in a kitchen with
somebody, you have to get along.

726
00:48:57,860 --> 00:49:00,620
Amy would have been looking
to move up into your job?

727
00:49:00,670 --> 00:49:03,800
I'm sure she was, but she'd
have been disappointed.

728
00:49:03,850 --> 00:49:06,820
She wasn't ready to be a
sous-chef. Ruth knew that.

729
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,790
- Is Ruth OK?
- Huh...

730
00:49:12,860 --> 00:49:17,600
You're concerned about her feelings,
even though she just sacked you?

731
00:49:17,650 --> 00:49:19,640
Me and Ruth go back a long way.

732
00:49:19,690 --> 00:49:24,640
She didn't just give me a job, she took
me in when I was having a really bad time.

733
00:49:25,710 --> 00:49:27,780
And whatever she's done since, I owe her.

734
00:49:28,860 --> 00:49:31,750
Midsomer Wyvern must feel
like the back of beyond.

735
00:49:32,850 --> 00:49:34,850
It's a long way from Hackney.

736
00:49:37,670 --> 00:49:38,830
Two days before he died,

737
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:44,670
Martin Strickland was due to meet someone
with the initials "NI" at a cafe in Causton.

738
00:49:45,660 --> 00:49:47,660
Would that have been you?

739
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,630
Hello.

740
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,730
I had to get out for a
bit. You don't mind, do you?

741
00:49:56,780 --> 00:49:59,880
Of course not. Can I get you
anything? A pint of whisky?

742
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,840
With an orange juice on the side.

743
00:50:07,690 --> 00:50:10,840
It's awful, Angie. I
saw that poor girl die.

744
00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:13,720
I'm sorry.

745
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,700
The police can't think you
had anything to do with it?

746
00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:21,730
Who knows what they think? And
there's other stuff going on.

747
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,600
- What do you mean?
- I shouldn't come moaning to you.

748
00:50:25,650 --> 00:50:27,650
I don't mind.

749
00:50:27,860 --> 00:50:32,650
It turns out running a restaurant is harder
than I thought, and a lot more expensive.

750
00:50:32,700 --> 00:50:33,760
And now this.

751
00:50:33,810 --> 00:50:36,670
You don't seriously think
you'll have to close?

752
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,720
It's possible.

753
00:50:39,650 --> 00:50:42,850
And if that happens... I
think Ruth will leave me.

754
00:50:49,750 --> 00:50:51,740
Still, got to keep soldiering on.

755
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,600
Detective Sergeant Nelson called earlier.

756
00:50:59,650 --> 00:51:01,800
Has Ferdy told you about
the magic mushrooms?

757
00:51:04,850 --> 00:51:07,730
I thought hemlock acted slowly.

758
00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:11,680
Didn't Socrates converse
with his executioners

759
00:51:11,730 --> 00:51:14,620
as the poison paralysed
his body from the feet up?

760
00:51:14,670 --> 00:51:16,700
That was poison hemlock, different family.

761
00:51:16,750 --> 00:51:18,720
Hemlock water dropwort is an umbellifer.

762
00:51:18,770 --> 00:51:22,760
It contains high levels of oenanthotoxin,
which acts on the central nervous system,

763
00:51:22,810 --> 00:51:24,880
causing seizures and respiratory failure.

764
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:26,710
Easy to find in the wild?

765
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,600
It likes damp environments,
meadows, riverbanks.

766
00:51:30,650 --> 00:51:31,830
I've asked for an environmental report,

767
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:36,760
but I'd be surprised if none were found growing
within a five-mile radius of Midsomer Wyvern.

768
00:51:36,810 --> 00:51:40,780
Nick Iver would have had plenty of time to nip
into the larder while everyone was at lunch.

769
00:51:40,830 --> 00:51:44,620
But his girlfriend's given him an
alibi for the night of Martin's murder.

770
00:51:44,670 --> 00:51:47,650
- Who's the girlfriend?
- A butcher called Stephanie Weston.

771
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:48,813
Jamie Weston's sister.

772
00:51:48,814 --> 00:51:51,675
I hope you got something nice
for supper after interviewing her.

773
00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:54,600
Lamb cutlets. I thought we could do with...

774
00:51:54,650 --> 00:51:57,620
Fascinating though your
domestic arrangements are,

775
00:51:57,670 --> 00:52:00,720
what did you find out about Nick
Iver's meeting with Martin Strickland?

776
00:52:00,770 --> 00:52:05,670
Nick says Martin offered him the top
spot at Wyvern House, but he said no.

777
00:52:05,720 --> 00:52:08,750
Which we can't prove or disprove,
now that Strickland's dead.

778
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,620
It would be unusual, though,

779
00:52:10,670 --> 00:52:12,770
to murder someone because
they offered you a job?

780
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,820
What are you doing, love?

781
00:52:31,820 --> 00:52:35,770
Nothing. When are we gonna reopen, Johnny?

782
00:52:37,810 --> 00:52:39,870
If I can't cook, I am gonna go mad.

783
00:52:43,770 --> 00:52:46,800
Where did you get that? A dinosaur pit?

784
00:52:46,850 --> 00:52:50,650
- It's a gift from Nelson.
- Oh, well, that was kind of him.

785
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,750
I've been doing some research

786
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:58,660
and I think that Sykes is exhibiting classic
signs of anxiety in the face of family change.

787
00:52:58,710 --> 00:53:01,630
Well, we can't exactly
turn back now, can we?

788
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,670
We'll just have to show him that he is
still a valued member of this family.

789
00:53:08,790 --> 00:53:10,830
- Ooh. Is that the new one?
- Mm.

790
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,610
Any good?

791
00:53:12,660 --> 00:53:16,640
Excellent, as long as you've got five hours
a day to devote to cooking your dinner.

792
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:22,880
Oh, God, is this the fatal recipe?

793
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:24,680
Mm.

794
00:53:24,730 --> 00:53:27,770
"Wild celery and mushroom soup
is one of my signature dishes.

795
00:53:27,820 --> 00:53:31,680
Even when the kitchen is busy and I have
a hundred and one other things to do,

796
00:53:31,730 --> 00:53:33,780
I always try to make this one myself."

797
00:53:33,830 --> 00:53:36,700
Well, lucky for her she
didn't make it today.

798
00:53:38,780 --> 00:53:43,780
Oh, I think you're right. The
poison wasn't meant for Amy.

799
00:53:44,820 --> 00:53:47,770
It was Ruth Cameron
that was supposed to die!

800
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:01,930
If you're right about Ruth being the
intended victim, the killer's gonna try again.

801
00:54:01,980 --> 00:54:03,110
That's what I'm afraid of.

802
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,970
We should start by finding
out what the connection is

803
00:54:06,020 --> 00:54:09,010
between Ruth and Martin Strickland.

804
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,070
The obvious one is the restaurant,
but there might be others.

805
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:17,789
Also we need to know whether Wyvern
House is in financial trouble.

806
00:54:17,790 --> 00:54:18,790
Check everything.

807
00:54:19,110 --> 00:54:20,140
I'll get on it.

808
00:54:21,060 --> 00:54:23,910
Is this Strickland's laptop
you're trying to get into?

809
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,910
The CCTV footage must be in here.

810
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,970
Isn't it time you handed
it over to the tech guys?

811
00:54:28,020 --> 00:54:30,010
They'll take forever. I'll get there.

812
00:54:32,020 --> 00:54:33,120
I'm in!

813
00:54:35,940 --> 00:54:40,120
Erm... The truffles were stolen on
the night of the 10th, weren't they?

814
00:54:40,170 --> 00:54:42,170
That's right.

815
00:54:49,010 --> 00:54:50,960
A-ha.

816
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,100
Strickland's been here
before. And our thief is...

817
00:55:09,950 --> 00:55:12,120
Phillips, you come with us.
The rest of you stay here, yeah?

818
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:18,010
And a hidden camera... in the woods.

819
00:55:21,020 --> 00:55:25,100
We've been having cash flow problems,
suppliers were pressing for payment.

820
00:55:27,050 --> 00:55:28,894
When I found out about the truffles,

821
00:55:28,895 --> 00:55:32,095
well, it seemed too good
an opportunity to pass up.

822
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,040
It was sheer stupidity, I see that now.

823
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:38,150
It was theft, Mr Linklater.

824
00:55:39,950 --> 00:55:41,120
Yes.

825
00:55:41,170 --> 00:55:45,060
It's always struck me as odd that Mr
Strickland didn't report the crime.

826
00:55:45,110 --> 00:55:47,050
Was that out of the goodness of his heart?

827
00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:50,080
He was blackmailing me.

828
00:55:50,130 --> 00:55:54,060
Threatening to expose me, unless I broke the
lease and let him take over the restaurant.

829
00:55:54,110 --> 00:55:56,160
With Nick Iver in charge in the kitchen?

830
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,000
How much does Ms Cameron
know about all this?

831
00:56:01,950 --> 00:56:06,110
She knows there's a problem about the lease,
but she doesn't know about the truffles.

832
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,170
Hm.

833
00:56:11,140 --> 00:56:14,970
You and Ms Cameron married,
what, three years ago?

834
00:56:15,020 --> 00:56:17,020
How long had you known each other then?

835
00:56:17,070 --> 00:56:19,080
18 months or so.

836
00:56:19,130 --> 00:56:21,080
And when did your first marriage break up?

837
00:56:21,130 --> 00:56:25,160
Long before. Eight years? My fault.

838
00:56:28,090 --> 00:56:30,950
When I left the army, I
started drinking too much.

839
00:56:32,020 --> 00:56:33,900
And now?

840
00:56:33,950 --> 00:56:35,950
I haven't touched a drop
in more than four years.

841
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,050
Is this a second marriage
for Ms Cameron, too?

842
00:56:38,100 --> 00:56:40,960
No. Married to the job, until she met me.

843
00:56:41,970 --> 00:56:46,040
The scarring on your wife's um...
left arm. How did she get that?

844
00:56:46,940 --> 00:56:50,030
Car crash, 20 years ago.
Drunken boyfriend at the wheel.

845
00:56:51,130 --> 00:56:54,030
He died. Ruth was lucky to get out alive.

846
00:56:56,110 --> 00:56:59,990
Ms Cameron is vital to the
success of Wyvern House, isn't she?

847
00:57:01,050 --> 00:57:04,100
Without her, there'd be no
restaurant. It's as simple as that.

848
00:57:04,150 --> 00:57:07,150
There's a large insurance
policy on her life, presumably?

849
00:57:11,150 --> 00:57:15,150
Sergeant Nelson, I'd like you to arrest Mr
Linklater and take him down to the station.

850
00:57:16,020 --> 00:57:18,990
Charge him with theft and
get a statement from him.

851
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:31,080
I am calling a lawyer. Who told
you that Johnny took the truffles?

852
00:57:31,130 --> 00:57:35,900
It's rubbish! Someone is out
to hurt the restaurant. Hurt me!

853
00:57:35,950 --> 00:57:39,180
No-one told us your husband took the
truffles, Ms Cameron. We have hard evidence.

854
00:57:39,940 --> 00:57:43,020
But I'm afraid you're right.
Someone is trying to hurt you.

855
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:56,100
Fatal car crash. About
1992. Teenage driver. Thanks.

856
00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:58,931
Oh, it's all right, I'm on hold.

857
00:57:58,932 --> 00:58:01,002
National Archives. Has
Johnny been processed?

858
00:58:01,010 --> 00:58:03,120
And sent home, tail between his legs.

859
00:58:03,170 --> 00:58:05,796
I want you to look into his army career,

860
00:58:05,797 --> 00:58:08,615
and find out everything
you can about Nick Iver.

861
00:58:09,010 --> 00:58:11,090
He's from Hackney. I've
got a mate stationed there.

862
00:58:11,140 --> 00:58:13,677
If Nick is as fond of Ruth as he claims,

863
00:58:13,678 --> 00:58:15,225
why was he even talking to Strickland?

864
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,070
Oh, hello. Yes, thank you.

865
00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:22,910
That's very helpful.

866
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,970
Could you give me the exact
date and place of death, please?

867
00:58:37,060 --> 00:58:41,130
I have an idea. A new variation
of watercress mousseline.

868
00:58:41,180 --> 00:58:45,050
I can't quite get the consistency
right. I think I have to reduce the...

869
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:47,070
- Ruth, stop it!
- Stop what?

870
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,920
- Jabbering on about watercress mousse wh...
- Mousseline, not mousse.

871
00:58:50,970 --> 00:58:53,030
For God's sake! We might
be about to lose everything.

872
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,080
And whose fault is that?

873
00:58:56,990 --> 00:58:58,095
Mine, I know.

874
00:58:58,796 --> 00:59:01,190
And I can't tell you how sorry
I am. But you're not helping.

875
00:59:02,060 --> 00:59:04,030
You're a thief.

876
00:59:05,140 --> 00:59:06,872
I'm not a thief.

877
00:59:07,873 --> 00:59:11,043
I stole Strickland's bloody
truffles, because I was desperate.

878
00:59:11,980 --> 00:59:14,140
The Laithams' bill was overdue,
and I did a deal with them.

879
00:59:15,970 --> 00:59:21,050
You run your side of things so brilliantly,
never falter, never ask for help.

880
00:59:22,940 --> 00:59:25,080
I didn't want to admit
what a fool I'd been.

881
00:59:26,050 --> 00:59:28,970
So you're a coward too.

882
00:59:29,020 --> 00:59:31,970
If we lose Wyvern House
because of you, Johnny...

883
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,080
Good morning, Ms Thornfield.

884
01:00:00,110 --> 01:00:02,180
I'd like to talk to you about Valerian.

885
01:00:02,940 --> 01:00:05,060
Oh. Having trouble sleeping, Inspector?

886
01:00:05,110 --> 01:00:07,180
If I were, could you sell me some?

887
01:00:07,940 --> 01:00:11,070
- Valerian tea, yes.
- Have you sold any recently?

888
01:00:11,180 --> 01:00:13,130
Not for some weeks.

889
01:00:13,180 --> 01:00:17,950
And I'd remember, because I have to tell
people not to prepare it with boiling water.

890
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,060
Are there any other
local sources of supply?

891
01:00:20,110 --> 01:00:25,130
Most health food shops sell capsules, and
the herb itself is easy enough to grow.

892
01:00:28,170 --> 01:00:31,950
Is there something else... I
can help you with, gentlemen?

893
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,130
That first morning when you told us
Martin Strickland wasn't your type.

894
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,130
I'm wondering why you didn't
tell us about your dog?

895
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,080
A man was dead.

896
01:00:46,060 --> 01:00:47,970
Fond as I was of Bailey,

897
01:00:48,020 --> 01:00:50,980
it hardly seemed to be the right
moment to be talking about him.

898
01:00:51,130 --> 01:00:53,140
But you understand my concern.

899
01:00:55,160 --> 01:01:02,140
You're suggesting that I killed a man because
his actions led to the death of my dog?

900
01:01:03,130 --> 01:01:04,930
Oh!

901
01:01:04,980 --> 01:01:07,070
Do you think I'm insane?

902
01:01:08,020 --> 01:01:10,070
And I didn't even know Amy Strickland.

903
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,990
But you know Ruth Cameron.

904
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,960
What of it? It's not Ruth who's dead.

905
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,110
Perhaps it was meant to be.

906
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,080
I see.

907
01:01:24,180 --> 01:01:29,960
How much do you know...
about what happened to my son?

908
01:01:35,180 --> 01:01:40,030
Max was killed 22 years ago, when
the car he was driving crashed.

909
01:01:40,940 --> 01:01:43,960
There was a high level
of alcohol in his blood.

910
01:01:44,010 --> 01:01:47,519
Ruth Cameron was in the passenger
seat, and escaped with...

911
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,000
comparatively minor injuries.

912
01:01:50,020 --> 01:01:51,547
That's the official version.

913
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,791
But I believe that Ruth was driving.

914
01:01:56,940 --> 01:01:58,950
I agree.

915
01:02:00,150 --> 01:02:02,150
Why?

916
01:02:03,060 --> 01:02:07,940
When the car hit the tree, the impact
was on the left, the passenger side.

917
01:02:07,990 --> 01:02:10,070
It doesn't make sense that the driver died,

918
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:14,180
but the only damage to the
passenger was an injured left arm.

919
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,070
It was Ruth's car, you
know. A little convertible.

920
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,010
She wouldn't let anyone else drive, ever.

921
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,090
Max hadn't even passed his test.

922
01:02:29,150 --> 01:02:34,090
You think she pulled Max over to
the driving seat after the accident,

923
01:02:34,140 --> 01:02:36,050
even though her arm was badly injured?

924
01:02:36,100 --> 01:02:39,080
If Ruth had been drinking as well,
she would have been desperate.

925
01:02:39,130 --> 01:02:41,120
You said nothing to the police at the time?

926
01:02:41,170 --> 01:02:44,000
I was the dead boy's mother.
They didn't... they...

927
01:02:44,150 --> 01:02:46,150
they wouldn't take me seriously.

928
01:02:49,050 --> 01:02:52,070
Will you try to reopen the case?

929
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,180
Ruining Ruth's life won't bring Max back.

930
01:02:58,170 --> 01:03:03,030
They tell you time is a great
healer, but... that's a lie.

931
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,990
When you lose someone you
love, really, truly love...

932
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:13,040
... the pain never goes away.

933
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:34,950
We all set for tonight?

934
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,100
Yes, but we need to be very careful.

935
01:03:40,970 --> 01:03:43,900
- Why were the charges dropped?
- This is DCI Barnaby, Causton CID.

936
01:03:43,950 --> 01:03:45,900
OK... I'm chasing a ballistics report.

937
01:03:45,950 --> 01:03:48,970
Right. Request number MC4723...

938
01:03:49,020 --> 01:03:51,960
- OK. And when did this happen?
- Could you call me back, please?

939
01:03:52,010 --> 01:03:55,960
- Or better still, send me the report.
- OK, mate. Thanks. I owe you.

940
01:03:56,010 --> 01:03:58,920
Sir. We need to re-interview
one of our suspects.

941
01:03:58,970 --> 01:04:02,170
Nick Iver was arrested when
he was 16. Over a stabbing.

942
01:04:14,210 --> 01:04:17,230
- Thank you for coming in, Mr Iver.
- Did I have a choice?

943
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,130
For the moment, yeah. Take a seat.

944
01:04:23,300 --> 01:04:25,776
Yesterday, you told Sergeant Nelson e

945
01:04:25,777 --> 01:04:28,743
that you'd quarrelled with
Ruth Cameron over her book.

946
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,035
You threw a jug at her and,

947
01:04:31,036 --> 01:04:33,640
not entirely unreasonably, she sacked you.

948
01:04:33,690 --> 01:04:35,026
That's right.

949
01:04:35,260 --> 01:04:37,260
There was more to it
than that, wasn't there?

950
01:04:37,310 --> 01:04:42,170
You had been talking to Martin Strickland
about taking over the restaurant.

951
01:04:42,220 --> 01:04:44,140
Ruth never mentioned that.

952
01:04:45,140 --> 01:04:47,130
Anyway, I told you, I turned him down.

953
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,230
Can we go back to the recipes for a moment?

954
01:04:51,150 --> 01:04:56,160
Quite a lot of them have little personal
stories attached, about what they mean to Ruth.

955
01:04:56,210 --> 01:04:59,110
Did she make those up? Most of them, yeah.

956
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:03,220
So when she says she always tries to make
the wild celery and mushroom soup herself...

957
01:05:08,130 --> 01:05:10,130
Is that a lie?

958
01:05:11,140 --> 01:05:12,310
No. That bit's true.

959
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,160
You were very angry with
Ruth Cameron, weren't you?

960
01:05:15,210 --> 01:05:18,150
Of course I was, but what's
this got to do with... ?

961
01:05:20,140 --> 01:05:22,150
Oh, God. You think I tried to poison Ruth?

962
01:05:22,330 --> 01:05:25,140
Did you?

963
01:05:25,190 --> 01:05:27,190
No. I adore Ruth.

964
01:05:27,460 --> 01:05:29,110
And I'm not a killer.

965
01:05:29,111 --> 01:05:31,745
But that's only a matter
of luck, isn't it, Mr Iver?

966
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,407
If that knife had gone
just a fraction deeper,

967
01:05:34,408 --> 01:05:36,608
your stepfather would be dead.

968
01:05:44,570 --> 01:05:46,570
I was 16.

969
01:05:48,530 --> 01:05:50,580
My stepfather never
liked me and I hated him.

970
01:05:51,610 --> 01:05:55,600
And one day he was going on and on,
telling me only sissies liked cooking,

971
01:05:55,650 --> 01:05:58,720
calling me terrible names, and
I lost it and I went for him.

972
01:06:01,630 --> 01:06:04,610
Unfortunately, I had a kitchen
knife in my hand at the time.

973
01:06:07,620 --> 01:06:11,630
The charges were dropped after
your stepfather changed his story.

974
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,680
Why did he do that?

975
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,690
My mother persuaded him
to say it was an accident.

976
01:06:20,690 --> 01:06:23,670
He agreed, as long as I
cleared out and never came back.

977
01:06:24,740 --> 01:06:27,570
Does Ruth know about this? Does Stephanie?

978
01:06:27,620 --> 01:06:28,690
No.

979
01:06:28,740 --> 01:06:31,540
How did Martin Strickland find out?

980
01:06:34,610 --> 01:06:38,700
He had a private investigator check
me out before he approached me.

981
01:06:40,540 --> 01:06:42,640
"A routine business precaution", he said.

982
01:06:42,690 --> 01:06:46,650
Was he threatening to tell people
the true story if you didn't?

983
01:06:48,540 --> 01:06:49,690
Yes.

984
01:06:49,740 --> 01:06:52,068
A motive for murder, wouldn't you say?

985
01:06:52,069 --> 01:06:53,546
Yeah, and he'd have deserved it.

986
01:06:55,530 --> 01:06:57,600
But I didn't kill him or Amy.

987
01:06:59,610 --> 01:07:01,650
And I'd never hurt Ruth.

988
01:07:07,530 --> 01:07:08,580
Hello?

989
01:07:14,620 --> 01:07:17,590
Calm down. I can't
understand what you're saying.

990
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,580
Wait there. I'm coming.

991
01:07:31,580 --> 01:07:33,690
You don't think Nick did it, then?

992
01:07:33,740 --> 01:07:37,550
Nick Iver has a motive for both killings,

993
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,550
but his girlfriend's given
him an alibi for the first one,

994
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,710
and we have no concrete evidence
against him in either case.

995
01:07:44,750 --> 01:07:50,590
And it doesn't fit. I mean, he
clearly has a violent temper,

996
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,660
but these were carefully
planned, cold-blooded murders.

997
01:07:53,710 --> 01:07:55,670
Very different from throwing a jug,

998
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,660
or even stabbing someone
in the heat of the moment.

999
01:07:58,710 --> 01:08:02,570
Not that I'm saying it's OK to throw
things at your boss, you understand.

1000
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,500
Not even this?

1001
01:08:05,550 --> 01:08:07,760
I played with the 999
recording. Remember this?

1002
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,560
There's a dead body in the
woods on the Strickland land...

1003
01:08:13,610 --> 01:08:15,560
Listen.

1004
01:08:16,690 --> 01:08:19,610
There's a dead body in the
woods on the Strickland land

1005
01:08:19,660 --> 01:08:21,560
about 300 yards from the old cottage.

1006
01:08:21,610 --> 01:08:24,510
- Jamie Weston!
- Sounds like him, doesn't it?

1007
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:26,520
Ah, good work, Nelson.

1008
01:08:26,570 --> 01:08:29,520
I suggest you go and see
what he has to say about it.

1009
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:36,510
And... ask him why Ballistics think
that three of the shotgun cartridges

1010
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,710
found in the vicinity of Martin
Strickland's body came from one of his guns.

1011
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,660
- What's the betting he wears a size ten shoe?
- Mm.

1012
01:08:43,710 --> 01:08:47,590
But who does the size seven
belong to? That's the question.

1013
01:08:51,650 --> 01:08:55,490
Honestly, Johnny. She's probably
just gone for a walk or something.

1014
01:08:55,540 --> 01:08:57,719
She was in the kitchen,
cooking, experimenting.

1015
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,061
And now she's just abandoned everything.

1016
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:04,490
We'd had a row.

1017
01:09:04,540 --> 01:09:07,580
You and I used to row all the time.

1018
01:09:08,660 --> 01:09:11,520
- You've tried calling her?
- Straight to voicemail.

1019
01:09:11,570 --> 01:09:14,480
Oh. Well, I think you're panicking.

1020
01:09:14,530 --> 01:09:16,710
Why don't you go and make us a cup of tea?

1021
01:09:18,580 --> 01:09:19,730
All right.

1022
01:09:27,540 --> 01:09:28,590
Lizzy?

1023
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,590
Please?

1024
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:43,630
You deserve to know the truth.

1025
01:09:44,730 --> 01:09:46,730
I know the truth.

1026
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,700
I... I... came to say I'm sorry.

1027
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,600
Please go.

1028
01:10:02,700 --> 01:10:04,700
I loved him too, Lizzy.

1029
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,580
Funny the way things turn out, isn't it?

1030
01:10:17,700 --> 01:10:21,500
I never thought you'd come
back to Midsomer Wyvern,

1031
01:10:21,550 --> 01:10:25,550
and here we are, having a cup of tea
together like an old married couple.

1032
01:10:28,730 --> 01:10:30,730
I must go.

1033
01:10:33,710 --> 01:10:34,970
Ruth will be back.

1034
01:10:34,971 --> 01:10:37,594
Just remember, you've got
a lot of grovelling to do.

1035
01:10:38,750 --> 01:10:40,750
I'd suggest flowers.

1036
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,670
- I'm sorry.
- What for?

1037
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,710
For being so vile to you.

1038
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,307
You'd just had the worst
few hours of your life,

1039
01:11:31,308 --> 01:11:33,300
and I was prattling on about mousseline.

1040
01:11:34,650 --> 01:11:36,910
It's what I do. I bury myself in my work,

1041
01:11:36,911 --> 01:11:38,522
so I don't have to deal with life.

1042
01:11:38,730 --> 01:11:40,720
- That's not true.
- It is.

1043
01:11:41,670 --> 01:11:46,570
Or it was. Until I met you, I didn't
have a life outside the kitchen.

1044
01:11:49,710 --> 01:11:53,710
I love you, Johnny. And I
don't care what you've done.

1045
01:11:55,530 --> 01:11:57,660
Well, as long as you
haven't murdered anyone.

1046
01:11:58,610 --> 01:12:00,710
I haven't. I promise.

1047
01:12:13,690 --> 01:12:15,590
All right?

1048
01:12:24,650 --> 01:12:26,650
- Is that the lot?
- Just one more.

1049
01:12:32,610 --> 01:12:35,680
Sir, Jamie Weston's
offloading gear at the pub.

1050
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,620
With a possible wellie size seven.

1051
01:12:39,630 --> 01:12:42,700
Stay where you are, I'll meet
you there in half an hour.

1052
01:12:44,530 --> 01:12:45,640
Is this a good sign?

1053
01:12:45,690 --> 01:12:48,623
You know I said Sykes was
displaying classic signs of anxiety?

1054
01:12:48,624 --> 01:12:49,624
Yes.

1055
01:12:49,670 --> 01:12:51,782
Apparently children can
also behave the same way

1056
01:12:51,783 --> 01:12:53,299
in the build-up to a new baby.

1057
01:12:53,590 --> 01:12:55,670
They actually want to play the parent role.

1058
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,760
So, I er, bought him a present.

1059
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,520
Sykes?

1060
01:13:02,670 --> 01:13:04,630
Hm.

1061
01:13:09,650 --> 01:13:13,740
That is completely bonkers.
But it seems to have worked.

1062
01:13:15,610 --> 01:13:17,510
What time do you want to eat?

1063
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,600
Later, if it's OK with you. I'm
going to the pub with Nelson.

1064
01:13:20,650 --> 01:13:23,680
Oh, right. That's how it's
gonna be from now on, is it?

1065
01:13:23,730 --> 01:13:27,670
I stay here with the dog and the baby
whilst you go boozing with your mates?

1066
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:31,670
No. Sykes is welcome to come to
the pub with me whenever he wants.

1067
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,520
Uh-uh.

1068
01:13:59,710 --> 01:14:01,710
Feeling fit?

1069
01:14:22,550 --> 01:14:23,750
Evening.

1070
01:14:26,630 --> 01:14:30,660
There you go, Frank.
Cheap at twice the price!

1071
01:14:30,710 --> 01:14:33,660
Next up, a beautiful saddle of venison.

1072
01:14:33,710 --> 01:14:39,690
Now, who'll start me off at �20
for a lovely bit... of Bambi?

1073
01:14:39,740 --> 01:14:42,600
- �2.50.
- Oh, Ted! Shut up!

1074
01:14:42,650 --> 01:14:44,650
Don't take the mick, Ted.

1075
01:14:45,610 --> 01:14:46,710
�20. Thank you.

1076
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,550
Glad somebody knows prime
meat when she sees it.

1077
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:51,600
21. 22.

1078
01:14:51,730 --> 01:14:54,560
Any advance on 22?

1079
01:14:54,610 --> 01:14:58,540
- Going once, going twice...
- Not going anywhere at all.

1080
01:15:02,650 --> 01:15:05,690
So you were poaching for deer
and just fell across a body?

1081
01:15:05,740 --> 01:15:09,570
And then we fired at the boar, but we
were both so shaken, we didn't hit it.

1082
01:15:09,620 --> 01:15:11,630
Just... scared it away.

1083
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:13,826
Why didn't you report
finding the body immediately,

1084
01:15:13,827 --> 01:15:15,096
instead of waiting till the morning?

1085
01:15:16,590 --> 01:15:20,600
The poor bugger was beyond
help, any fool could see that.

1086
01:15:21,610 --> 01:15:26,760
We just needed some time to calm down,
and decide what to do for the best.

1087
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,490
You should have come
forward and told us this!

1088
01:15:29,540 --> 01:15:32,570
- We don't hang poachers any more!
- We'd both have lost our jobs, though.

1089
01:15:32,620 --> 01:15:34,690
And Amy Strickland might still be alive.

1090
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,680
You'll be prosecuted over the
poaching and tonight's illegal auction.

1091
01:15:43,730 --> 01:15:46,620
You can think yourselves lucky
if you're not facing charges

1092
01:15:46,670 --> 01:15:49,550
of withholding evidence
in a murder enquiry.

1093
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:54,560
Right, you can go. Not you, Ms Weston.

1094
01:16:04,660 --> 01:16:07,610
You told me that on the night
of Martin Strickland's murder,

1095
01:16:07,660 --> 01:16:09,690
Nick Iver was home from work by 11.

1096
01:16:09,740 --> 01:16:13,550
But you don't know where he was. You
were out in the woods with your brother.

1097
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:17,570
I couldn't tell you that though,
could I? And I know Nick didn't do it.

1098
01:16:18,710 --> 01:16:22,660
After a day like this, I need a gin.

1099
01:16:32,570 --> 01:16:34,640
Dammit, I'm gonna have one too.

1100
01:16:34,690 --> 01:16:36,710
Johnny, no!

1101
01:16:38,690 --> 01:16:40,690
No!

1102
01:16:44,670 --> 01:16:46,670
Ms Linklater!

1103
01:16:50,540 --> 01:16:52,700
- All done?
- Not quite.

1104
01:16:52,750 --> 01:16:57,490
You realise that in allowing your premises
to be used for the sale of stolen property,

1105
01:16:57,540 --> 01:16:59,500
you have committed a criminal offence?

1106
01:16:59,550 --> 01:17:00,700
What harm was it doing anyone?

1107
01:17:00,750 --> 01:17:03,590
You'll be hearing from us
in due course, about tonight.

1108
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,590
Suit yourself, Mr Barnaby.

1109
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,640
Good night.

1110
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:20,720
- You OK?
- Hm.

1111
01:18:21,580 --> 01:18:23,580
I need some air.

1112
01:18:24,590 --> 01:18:25,700
- Come on!
- What?

1113
01:18:25,750 --> 01:18:27,590
- Do you fancy a dance?
- Ruth.

1114
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:30,670
Come on, let's go to the
garden. Come on, I'll race you!

1115
01:18:31,620 --> 01:18:33,480
Come on!

1116
01:19:36,730 --> 01:19:38,680
Ruth?

1117
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:42,660
Urgh!

1118
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:18,339
Sloe gin.

1119
01:20:19,140 --> 01:20:22,290
The residue in the glass that they found
looks like the liquid in the bottle.

1120
01:20:23,070 --> 01:20:24,748
Johnny was supposed to be on the wagon.

1121
01:20:25,749 --> 01:20:28,251
Must have slipped off last night.

1122
01:20:30,150 --> 01:20:34,250
Dust for prints, though I doubt we'll
find anything that shouldn't be here.

1123
01:20:35,220 --> 01:20:40,040
The bottle could have been
switched or tampered with days ago.

1124
01:20:41,030 --> 01:20:42,150
Weeks, even.

1125
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,150
No, no. After Amy was killed, I came in
here to fetch Ruth to look at the mushrooms

1126
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,030
and she had a drink in her hand.

1127
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,140
It was the same colour as
this. I saw her take a swig.

1128
01:20:53,030 --> 01:20:55,030
That's something.

1129
01:20:57,210 --> 01:21:01,110
- 'And when did your first marriage break up?
- Long before. Married to the job.

1130
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,170
'Martin often slept in the spare room.

1131
01:21:03,220 --> 01:21:06,010
- We keep very different hours.
- I adore Ruth.

1132
01:21:06,060 --> 01:21:08,150
Don't worry. It's all very civilised.'

1133
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:09,190
Oh...

1134
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:13,170
'They tell you that time is a
great healer, but it's a lie!'

1135
01:21:14,140 --> 01:21:16,210
- Oh, yes.
- What?

1136
01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:22,160
Something Lizzy Thornfield said.

1137
01:21:34,230 --> 01:21:36,230
Hello.

1138
01:21:37,090 --> 01:21:38,220
Gin and tonic, please.

1139
01:21:39,250 --> 01:21:42,030
I can do you one of these?

1140
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,220
This is a pub, isn't it?
I want a proper drink.

1141
01:22:12,030 --> 01:22:14,030
You again?

1142
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:19,040
- What do you want?
- Tell us what the poison was, Nick.

1143
01:22:19,090 --> 01:22:21,180
- Can you two leave now, please?
- What poison?

1144
01:22:21,230 --> 01:22:25,990
The one you used last night on
Ruth Cameron and Johnny Linklater.

1145
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,000
- Not Johnny!
- What are you talking about?

1146
01:22:28,050 --> 01:22:31,010
Johnny's still alive, just, but we
need to know what the poison was.

1147
01:22:31,060 --> 01:22:34,080
- I don't understand!
- Please. While there's time to give an antidote.

1148
01:22:34,130 --> 01:22:36,260
- No. You've got it wrong.
- We know your alibi for the night

1149
01:22:37,020 --> 01:22:38,210
of Martin Strickland's death was false.

1150
01:22:38,260 --> 01:22:42,000
Stephanie said you were at home with
her, but she was out in the woods.

1151
01:22:42,050 --> 01:22:45,990
- I never asked her to lie for me.
- Amy's death was a mistake, we know that.

1152
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,110
And you didn't mean for Johnny to
die either. So help us to save him.

1153
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:52,180
I would if I could. But I
don't know what the poison was!

1154
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:59,100
Nick Iver, you'll be taken
to Causton Police Station,

1155
01:22:59,150 --> 01:23:03,000
where you'll be charged with the
murders of Martin Strickland, Amy...

1156
01:23:03,050 --> 01:23:05,050
It was belladonna.

1157
01:23:08,170 --> 01:23:10,230
Deadly nightshade. In the gin.

1158
01:23:11,140 --> 01:23:13,260
Phone the hospital.
You've got to tell them.

1159
01:23:20,130 --> 01:23:22,160
It wasn't meant for Johnny, was it?

1160
01:23:25,060 --> 01:23:27,120
I know you could never hurt Johnny.

1161
01:23:28,130 --> 01:23:31,040
Because you killed Martin to protect him.

1162
01:23:34,260 --> 01:23:39,160
Was Martin already unconscious from the
Valerian before you tied him to the tree?

1163
01:23:40,150 --> 01:23:44,210
No. He thought it was a game.

1164
01:23:47,070 --> 01:23:50,020
He was going to destroy Johnny.

1165
01:23:50,070 --> 01:23:55,010
He actually boasted to me about
it. He thought I'd be pleased!

1166
01:24:04,210 --> 01:24:08,090
- Martin didn't understand, did he?
- You have to phone the hospital. Tell them!

1167
01:24:08,140 --> 01:24:11,170
You still loved Johnny, all
these years after he left you.

1168
01:24:11,220 --> 01:24:14,210
He didn't leave me. Ruth stole him!

1169
01:24:15,070 --> 01:24:18,080
No, she didn't. You and Dad
split up years before he met Ruth.

1170
01:24:18,130 --> 01:24:20,110
It wasn't her fault. And what about Amy?

1171
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,060
Stay out of this!

1172
01:24:22,110 --> 01:24:27,210
You know nothing about love, and
I don't suppose you ever will.

1173
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:33,120
I had nothing against Amy.

1174
01:24:36,130 --> 01:24:38,130
She just got in the way.

1175
01:24:41,170 --> 01:24:44,250
And the kitchen's always deserted
around 11:15 for staff lunch.

1176
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:56,070
- You did follow the recipe exactly?
- Yes!

1177
01:25:03,110 --> 01:25:04,110
Amy?

1178
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:09,150
She was 20 years old, and she's dead!

1179
01:25:15,150 --> 01:25:17,150
So you tried again.

1180
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:21,050
This time, you thought you'd
make certain of your target

1181
01:25:21,100 --> 01:25:24,070
by poisoning Ruth's bottle of sloe gin.

1182
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:29,030
But you didn't know that that night
Johnny would start drinking again.

1183
01:25:30,020 --> 01:25:33,190
You have to save him! Why
aren't you phoning the hospital?

1184
01:25:35,020 --> 01:25:38,040
Would you have killed Johnny too, I wonder?

1185
01:25:38,090 --> 01:25:40,220
When you realised he
didn't love you any more?

1186
01:25:42,090 --> 01:25:44,140
He does love me!

1187
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,190
We would have been happy!

1188
01:25:57,060 --> 01:25:59,120
He's already dead, isn't he?

1189
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,040
You tricked me!

1190
01:26:48,060 --> 01:26:50,200
Dad! I don't understand.

1191
01:26:53,060 --> 01:26:54,891
Lizzy Thornfield found us last night,

1192
01:26:54,892 --> 01:26:57,377
and knew it was deadly
nightshade from the smell.

1193
01:26:58,140 --> 01:27:02,120
She saved our lives. I'm sorry we
couldn't tell you earlier, Ferdy.

1194
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,100
Thank you, Nick. That can't
have been easy for you.

1195
01:27:22,020 --> 01:27:24,170
What was it Lizzy said
that made you realise?

1196
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:29,140
"When you lose someone you truly
love, the pain never goes away."

1197
01:27:32,090 --> 01:27:38,050
Now, we thought this case was
about money or anger or revenge.

1198
01:27:39,050 --> 01:27:41,170
But it was about something
much more dangerous.

1199
01:27:42,250 --> 01:27:44,250
Love.

1200
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:51,050
Kate got the report back on
Ferdy's magic mushrooms, by the way.

1201
01:27:51,220 --> 01:27:53,200
They weren't the hallucinogenic kind.

1202
01:27:53,250 --> 01:27:57,140
He could smoke them, eat them on
toast, cook them in an omelette...

1203
01:27:58,130 --> 01:28:00,120
... they'd have had no effect.

1204
01:28:00,170 --> 01:28:02,070
Not so magic after all, then.
