I don't know

00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:12,799
I think it could be very handy.

No, it's the Mafia.

It's never the Mafia.

So mote it be.

55
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:03,959
Brothers,

56
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,958
Three senior members of the lodge

57
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,159
in full view of a 49 bus.

58
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,959
We had to. He was drawing

59
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,959
Not as much as he is swinging over

60
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,959
with his trousers at half-mast

61
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,959
All right.

62
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,479
But if we go down,

63
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,959
No-one's going down!

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,959
We're going to come out of this

65
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,959
She uses lemon Fairy... Silence!

66
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,959
We need to be cleared by the police.

67
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,959
No problem.

68
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,959
And by someone who isn't a Mason.

69
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,479
That's a problem.

70
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,959
Not necessarily.

71
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,959
I've already put a plan into action.

72
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,479
Come in, Softly.

73
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,319
Welcome to Bambridge. Thank you,

74
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,959
I expect you'll have heard

75
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,479
Yes, sir. A clear case of ritual

76
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,959
Looks like accidental death to me,

77
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,959
My enquiry, sir?

78
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,959
Not any more. I've arranged for

79
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,959
Your report on the Taunton

80
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,959
It's time that somebody of your

81
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,959
Like a high-profile,

82
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,959
I don't know what to say.

83
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,319
I'd say it was accidental death,

84
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,959
Don't take all day putting on

85
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,959
but I want to have this all wrapped

86
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,959
Hello. Softly.

87
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,159
No,

88
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,959
Look, I am in charge of this

89
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,959
No, I am not going to

90
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,639
I am not going to knock up

91
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,959
Because it says so in

92
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,959
This is my big chance, Mother.

93
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,959
I do not intend to ruin it.

94
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,959
I have to caution you, madam.

95
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,959
Argh!

96
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,959
Gentlemen, this is a textbook case.

97
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,959
It's very simple. It's what

98
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,959
We've got everything we need.

99
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:03,959
A victim, witnesses, suspects,

100
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,159
But there is one thing we

101
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,959
I want a big blackboard

102
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,959
Constable, get onto it.

103
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,159
Tea, love?

104
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,959
No, we'd like some tea, love.

105
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,959
Sergeant, I am a police inspector

106
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,959
I do not make tea!

107
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,959
All right. Coffee, then.

108
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,959
Look, let's get this clear right

109
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,959
I may be a woman.

110
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,639
That's undeniable because of these

111
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,319
Otherwise there is no difference

112
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,479
You're not a Mason,

113
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,959
Pardon? Male, male, ma'am.

114
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,319
You're definitely not a male.

115
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,959
Very perceptive, Sergeant.

116
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,959
Let's hope

117
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,959
Murder?

118
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,959
What murder? The murder of Ken

119
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,319
planning officer for the Bambridge

120
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,319
a vociferous opponent of

121
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,959
proposed by the three men identified

122
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,959
18 witnesses on the number 49 bus

123
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,959
saw these three men in robes

124
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,319
Well,

125
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,959
Edward Percival...

126
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,959
You'll never stand it up in court.

127
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,959
He's the judge.

128
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,959
Yes, but he's also the godfather

129
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:45,319
Mayor of Bambridge. Elected with

130
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,959
property developer Max Rammell.

131
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:49,959
Where's all this leading to, ma'am?

132
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,959
To the beige-carpeted executive

133
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:02,959
The judge owns the land, Rammell

134
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,959
So they gave

135
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,959
But that light

136
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,959
when Ken Jones inconveniently

137
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,959
were about to build on an area

138
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,639
That's out of order.

139
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,959
Well, it must be. It's gone

140
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,959
Ken's objections turned out to be

141
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,959
Costly because it cost him his life.

142
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,159
Is that clear? Not entirely, ma'am.

143
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,959
I still don't see where

144
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,959
That's why you're a constable,

145
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,959
Inspector. Who's too busy to

146
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,959
Now, we need plenty of names, dates,

147
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,959
I want a lot of biros. I want

148
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,959
and I want a lot of those pins

149
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,959
And get me a decent tape recorder.

150
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,999
Music, ma'am? It helps me

151
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,959
I bet it's going to be Mozart.

152
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,959
Marriage Of Figaro.

153
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,959
Don Giovanni.

154
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,959
The Magic Flute.

155
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:17,959
No. Swingle II,

156
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,959
Easy listening, Sergeant.

157
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,959
You may not like it,

158
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,959
Any questions? You couldn't

159
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,959
I do hope you're not squeamish,

160
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,959
Good. We don't want both of

161
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,959
I'm... I'm sorry about that.

162
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,959
I just find this all so disgusting.

163
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:55,959
Contents of stomach... toast, coffee,

164
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,959
At least we know what he had

165
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,959
No, that's what I had for breakfast.

166
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:03,959
I see. And what have you

167
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,959
Well, erm, he's definitely dead.

168
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,959
Yes, we know that.

169
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,959
Not sure, but, er, me cutting off

170
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,799
He was dead before he got here.

171
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,479
That eliminates me as a suspect,

172
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,959
You're not being very helpful,

173
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,959
I want to know exact details as

174
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,959
You should see somebody about that.

175
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,959
Doctor, I am heading a murder

176
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,959
I believe this man was killed

177
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,959
or by laceral trowel blows causing

178
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,959
Please - spare me the gory

179
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,959
The point is, Doctor, I want to

180
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,959
And I want something

181
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,959
Fine. More than likely be lasagne.

182
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:57,959
Get up, Constable.

183
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,959
Softly.

184
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,959
How's the investigation?

185
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,959
Fine, sir. It all seems to

186
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,959
Perhaps you're going about things

187
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,959
All I'm saying, Softly,

188
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,959
Ignore the obvious.

189
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,959
Look for the unlikely.

190
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,959
Right. I'll remember that,

191
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,959
For what it's worth,

192
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,959
the people that we arrest

193
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,959
Ma'am. Not now, Sergeant.

194
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,959
What, about getting pregnant

195
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,959
No, Sergeant. About the case.

196
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,479
I don't like it. It's too easy.

197
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,959
Something's wrong.

198
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,959
What? We're having a bit of trouble

199
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,319
Well, that shouldn't

200
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,959
There are 18 of them and

201
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,959
Well, that's another thing.

202
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,959
The bus hasn't shown up either.

203
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,799
That's public transport

204
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,959
We do have the pathologist's report,

205
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,959
Right, yes, here it is.

206
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,959
Here is the meat of the thing.

207
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,959
Dum-dee-dum, dee-dum, dee-dum.

208
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,959
"Cause of death... the common cold."

209
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,959
Terrible thing, the common cold.

210
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,319
"Ken Jones had a long history

211
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,999
"and was clearly suffering from

212
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,959
He should've worn a vest.

213
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:53,159
"Time of death...

214
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,959
Extraordinary! What about

215
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,959
Probably just kids mucking about,

216
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,959
Sergeant,

217
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,999
If we're going to stand this

218
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,959
Now, who's supposed to know

219
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:17,319
And if you can't stand up

220
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,959
There's a cat up

221
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,959
Kill the new-vicar story

222
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,799
Run with the cat. I want quotes,

223
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,319
You've got it. I'm sorry, Inspector.

224
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,959
I'm trying to run a paper here.

225
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,959
I'm investigating

226
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,959
Yeah. I remember vaguely.

227
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,959
I notice you didn't cover it

228
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,959
Pressure of space.

229
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,959
One mother of a news week. Sarah,

230
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,959
If it's not on my desk by next week,

231
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,959
Sorry.

232
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,959
Isn't a ritualistic murder

233
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,999
Don't try and tell me my job, love.

234
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,959
I've been in local papers

235
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,959
I know a story when I smell one.

236
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,159
Like the Brownie bring-and-buy sale?

237
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,959
Sexy story. Punchy pic.

238
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,959
Are you trying to tell me

239
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,959
Barry, where's the late-night

240
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,959
You get me hard copy, sonny,

241
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,959
Now, Inspector, I'm a busy man.

242
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,959
I'm particularly interested

243
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,959
Sorry. Which 18 people?

244
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,959
The 18 people who all happened to be

245
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,959
on the morning

246
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,959
Those 18 people! Yes!

247
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,959
Tell me, is it usual for

248
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,959
to give away open-ended holidays in

249
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,959
It was a good year for the Brownies.

250
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,959
Some years you win a bag of fudge.

251
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,959
Other years you go walkabout south

252
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,959
Doesn't that strike you as strange?

253
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,959
Not in Bambridge, love. No, no.

254
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,959
Stranger things happen here

255
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,959
The cat's come down the tree, boss.

256
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,959
Do a splash on the vicar.

257
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,959
I think it's time for

258
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,799
That bad, ma'am?

259
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,999
Not bad, Sergeant.

260
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,959
Still, no-one said

261
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,959
Yes, please, ma'am -

262
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,959
So, Sergeant, how did you get on

263
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,959
His Worship the Mayor was

264
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,959
Excellent. Did he confess?

265
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,959
Not in so many words.

266
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,959
That's a bit of a blow. It is

267
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,999
Careful, love, careful!

268
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,959
Right, that's it!

269
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,159
Would you like to drive, Sergeant?

270
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,159
No! I wouldn't dream of it.

271
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,959
I'm banned for life.

272
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,999
Driving a police car

273
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,639
Well, you asked for it.

274
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,959
What else did you find out?

275
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,959
According to the mayor,

276
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,959
Right!

277
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,959
He was depressed that the scheme

278
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,959
What secret scheme?

279
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,959
A secret scheme to turn the valley

280
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,959
into the nuclear-waste-dumping

281
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,959
That's outrageous!

282
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,959
That's the first I've heard of it.

283
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,479
Is there any documentary

284
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,959
Er... no.

285
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,959
It was a very secret scheme.

286
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,959
What's all this, Constable?

287
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,959
Sorry, love.

288
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,959
I'll get you another one

289
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,159
Now, to recap, we have lost all

290
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,959
if it was an accident,

291
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,999
Very interesting.

292
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,639
This case is ravelling

293
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,959
I think we need to try

294
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,959
It's got to be the cascading strings

295
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,479
Don't try and deny it.

296
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,959
You're in it up to

297
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:34,959
Stop stone-walling and start

298
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,479
you scum bucket!

299
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,959
Sergeant, I think I know a way

300
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,959
I want you to get onto

301
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,959
Tell Mr Rammell I'd like to meet

302
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,959
Yes, Sergeant, I have got

303
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,159
Listen, I'd like you to do a search

304
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,959
That's Romeo, India, Charlie, Harry,

305
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,959
Second name - Clayderman.

306
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,959
I don't care how long

307
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,479
I'm fed up with this Roger Whittaker

308
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,639
How dare you question me like this.

309
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,959
Do you know who I am? Yes, sir.

310
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,959
Do you know who Gazza is?

311
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,479
I think I should be

312
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,959
Well, don't ask me who Gazza is.

313
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,959
You could try me on Elton John.

314
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,959
Where were you the night

315
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,959
You were at Tottenham? No, no, no.

316
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,959
No, Ken Jones is dead.

317
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,959
Dear me. A tragic loss

318
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,959
I've booked the dungeon

319
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,959
Will you join me?

320
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,959
You wanted to see me, sir?

321
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,799
Is that your wife, sir?

322
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,959
Nanette Newman.

323
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,959
Remarkable woman.

324
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,959
So, Softly, how are you?

325
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,479
I'm not pregnant, sir.

326
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,959
Of course. So what's all this

327
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,959
We can forget about the judge.

328
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,959
Good. Well, done. Eliminating

329
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,959
Sir, it's all beginning not to make

330
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,959
Excellent. You're clearly getting

331
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,959
Remember, Softly,

332
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,959
don't be fooled by the facts.

333
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,959
If you're getting easy answers,

334
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,959
Right, sir.

335
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,959
I'll ask Rammell

336
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,959
You stood to lose a lot of money

337
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,959
As did the mayor.

338
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,959
Are you suggesting

339
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,959
between myself and the mayor?

340
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,959
There are suggestions that you've

341
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,959
It's a damned lie!

342
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,319
I've given him enormous sums of

343
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,959
Surely you don't accept that

344
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,959
Of course I do.

345
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,959
That's one way of looking at it.

346
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,799
The other way is to see that Ken,

347
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,959
would stop at nothing

348
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,959
Not content with turning down

349
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,959
he deliberately killed himself in

350
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,959
There's your motive, Inspector -

351
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,999
We're the victims here. If anyone

352
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,959
All very plausible, Mr Rammell.

353
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:07,959
But, naturally, you'll refuse

354
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,959
Not at all.

355
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,959
I was with friends,

356
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,959
playing bridge.

357
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,959
And who exactly were these friends?

358
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,959
The judge. The judge, of course.

359
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,959
And the mayor.

360
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,799
And the mayor.

361
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,959
The judge and the mayor.

362
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,959
I should've guessed. Silly me(!)

363
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,639
If you're looking for an alibi,

364
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,959
The chief inspector of police

365
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,799
Yes, that's a lot better. Thank you.

366
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,959
Now, tell me, why haven't I heard

367
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,959
It's probably a class thing.

368
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,959
Your parents never played, so you

369
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,959
It's not all bad, ma'am.

370
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,959
At least something's turned up.

371
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,959
Ken Jones's secret diary?

372
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,999
Richard Clayderman.

373
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,959
I knew you'd be pleased.

374
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:19,319
It's not Mellow Melodies. We thought

375
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,959
Thank you, Sergeant. Not at all.

376
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,959
You know,

377
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,959
"All tampons and lipstick.

378
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,959
"Give her a week and she'll be up

379
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,959
But you're different.

380
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,959
Do I detect a compliment, Sergeant?

381
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,959
Having seen you work, I can say

382
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,959
But I haven't solved anything.

383
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,319
Well, there you are, then.

384
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,959
Who killed you, Ken Jones?

385
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,959
Who killed you?

386
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,959
Hello. Softly..

387
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,959
Anything new?

388
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,959
Mr Henderson's

389
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,959
That is not an offence, Mother.

390
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,959
Who have I arrested? Well, nobody.

391
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,959
It seems the only person without

392
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,959
Is...

393
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,959
Hang on.

394
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,959
That's it.

395
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,959
How could I have been so stupid?

396
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,799
Of course!

397
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,959
Let our sacred and accepted rites

398
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,959
Let the great accountant of

399
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,959
Yea, in the name of Ozymandias,

400
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,959
So mote it be.

401
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,959
What are you doing here, Constable?

402
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,959
But you're doing days as well.

403
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,959
Where is the chief inspector?

404
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,959
Cos he's at 37 Old Temple Lane and

405
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,959
Yea, verily, our sacred lodge

406
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,959
Even Nanette Newman would be

407
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,959
I like her.

408
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,959
Yeah... Silence! Let us bare

409
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,159
So mote it be.

410
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,959
Then let it flow like blood.

411
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,959
The munificent influence of

412
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,959
has once again triumphed

413
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:04,959
Brother, you have done exceedingly

414
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,959
Good evening, Chief Inspector.

415
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,959
I thought I might find you here.

416
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,959
Hello, Mr Rammell.

417
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,959
M'lord.

418
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,959
Doctor.

419
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,639
Mr Editor.

420
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,799
Mr Mayor.

421
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,959
Sergeant.

422
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,959
Pedestrian on the crossing.

423
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,959
Well, gentlemen,

424
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,319
that I have come to the solution

425
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,959
Usually an investigation

426
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,959
After weeks of patient detection,

427
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,959
But this case was different.

428
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,959
We started with the complete picture

429
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,959
the pieces of the jigsaw were

430
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,959
The witnesses.

431
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,959
The motive.

432
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,959
The suspects.

433
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,959
And even the victim.

434
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,959
At first, I thought it

435
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,959
Then asphyxia by cement. Urgh.

436
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,959
Then a touch of the snuffles.

437
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,799
It seemed only a matter

438
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,959
But he isn't, is he? No.

439
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,959
He's very, very dead.

440
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,959
So, who could have done it?

441
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,959
Certainly not the suspects.

442
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,959
They all had a cast-iron alibi.

443
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,959
Suddenly, it hit me.

444
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,959
A chance remark in a conversation

445
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,959
The solution became

446
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,959
Why did nothing add up?

447
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,959
Because, gentlemen, Ken Jones's

448
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,959
Who killed Ken Jones?

449
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,999
I did.

450
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,959
Well, I must have, mustn't I?

451
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,639
I've eliminated all the other

452
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,959
Well, all I can say is,

453
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,959
and I deserve to pay my debt to

454
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,799
I have no option

455
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,959
It's a fair cop.

456
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,959
I'll come quietly, sir.

457
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:32,959
I was beginning to be worried about

458
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,959
There is one thing

459
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,159
Yes?

460
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,959
What are you all doing here?

461
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,959
