What a friend! 756 01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,320 Hi Mark! Fancy a drink? 757 01:28:28,480 --> 01:28:32,640 No, I'm coming from the pub.

People hear voices. 764 01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:13,720 It was easy to follow him into the forest you know so well. 765 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:24,640 You waited until the drugs worked before he died of his own knife. 766 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:50,680 You killed the man who pretended the child was his. 767 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:54,600 But the baby wasn't his, Rob? 768 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,960 It was yours, and you knew it. 769 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:04,960 What I don't understand is why all this started now. 770 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:08,760 What made you decide- 771 01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:13,440 -to punish Bella's mother eight years later? 772 01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:22,440 -You messed with her medicine, right? - I was done in the garden. 773 01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:26,640 She made coffee and I borrowed the bathroom. 774 01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:32,480 Before I got up I stole a photo of Bella. 775 01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:39,360 I knew she was sedated. If I gave her enough… 776 01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:44,480 - The coffee is ready! -...that would be enough. 777 01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:52,440 But she didn't die did she? She was just hallucinating. 778 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:58,680 When you returned later, you found her running along the road. 779 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,520 Where are you going? 780 01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:16,840 They bring back the carnival queen, mrs slade. 781 01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:20,800 You shouldn't have let them do that. 782 01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:37,760 Was it the spur, then? You killed Marion Slade- 783 01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:44,120 - because it cannot exist one more Bella. Not ever. 784 01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,240 You shouldn't have let her die. 785 01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:59,680 You shouldn't have let her die! 786 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:06,440 Once the decision was made, you did what you wanted to do for eight long years. 787 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:18,720 Bella and I had something good, something real. And those bastards killed her. 788 01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:22,280 They deserved to die. 789 01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:33,920 What a day! What a terrible day for our village. 790 01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:39,160 But what does that do to you? You never care about anything. 791 01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:50,680 - I have arranged statements. -Good. 792 01:32:55,480 --> 01:33:01,000 - Life goes on in Midsomer Barton. -Yes... 793 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:36,120 Text: Linda Jansson www.sdimedia.com
