money from my purse for some reason

fantasized I suppose even after last

Chief Inspector Bell I think so sir

yeah I'm also gonna have to tell him so

that I've reason to believe that you

downstair died and that it's not beyond

the bounds of possibility that you were

having an affair with Miss stable you

know through your mutual membership of a

coral Society

you just hang on a minute sir I also

think you might have had a key from Miss

Daly and that yard some reason to

suspect that you might have come to some

harm hence his sudden appearance when we

met it can now reach you might also have

superintendents bad suicide woman

what could you please give me your name

Louise David Harriet Louise Stevie what

is your relation to the deceased mother

they have to ask you if you're formally

identified the body of your daughter and

Jacqueline rosemary Staveley yes

let's made the time of death somewhere

between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m. on the

morning of the day of discovery apart

from the conclusions to the neck already

described the deceased had suffered

fractures to the latter entire

cartilages and the cervical vertebrae

were dislocated otherwise all principal

organs were South waited death was

around 57 kilos the deceased who bore

the marks of previous childbirth with

both striae gravidarum and linear

gravidarum was again pregnant and I

estimate the fetal age is somewhere

between eight and ten have you any doubt

in your mind that this woman met her

death by her own hand my job sir is to

settle her deathbed it has occurred and

to ascertain where possible the physical

causes yes and you've ascertained the

death was caused by hanging in your

opinion was the death self-inflicted in

my opinion I would say it was possible

possible thank you you may stand up

I now call upon Chief Inspector Bell to

give evidence I have your statement

before me chief inspector can I ask you

if you have any amendments or additions

to make to it another present sir but

the pathologist information about me

stable his pregnancy which was only with

us yesterday does raise certain

questions which I can't at the moment

provide answers do i we should make a

formal application for an adjournment

until we can complete our inquiries I

see do you have any objections to my

issuing a burial notice I no no sir we

have no objection this thing questions a

[Music]

we'll all of course heard of the sad

news

Anne's tragic death it so happens that

she worked for mr. Richards brand point

and it was at her suggestion we invited

him along to talk to us this evening

anyway ladies and gentle on the

fascinating subject of how a small

boundary engineering company made an

international impact on the world of

high five I am very happy to welcome a

name familiar to all serious music

enthusiasts mr. Alan Richards managing

director of Richards audio research

[Applause]

thank you yes well just to repeat mr.

Hornsby's remarks about my lateness and

before which I apologized and also to

share his sadness at the loss of an

staplers she was a very dear personal

friend as well as someone who worked

with me so there's not a lot I can say I

think it's a terrible thing except

perhaps to take care all of us with

those we we care about what and indeed

suggested I come and talk to you this

evening about the company that my

brother and I found at some dozen years

ago and with which Ann was closely

involved in the early years now I'm not

really much of a talker but I am

something of an evangelist as far as

this thing is concerned the the Richards

turntable

[Music]

who's that

good night thank you so um you're the

singing policeman which travels before

me the singing vet or the police English

now I I saw you at the inquest hands

inquest and then the the chairman what

did you answer me I enjoyed your talk

thank you yeah I've got a rich his deck

my mana chief inspector who danced a

Blee acquirers that was a farewell

present such a generous firm I'm

surprised she left

it's moss what's the excitement

[Music]

[Music]

just so happened to be in the area

that's right and you knew him too did

you

Jackson no well somebody didn't like him

very much split open his head I know the

feeling between this evening what makes

you think you know just a hunch I know

what's like your involvement in this

loss no but if you are if you know

something I don't

I want to hear about it fair enough so

I'll tell you what I know a woman

apparently commit suicide and no one

knows why we find out about it from an

anonymous phone call then we find out

that this single woman is pregnant

a fortnight later a man living opposite

gets his head bashed in

interesting name more interesting than

that somebody who's kind enough to call

us about mr. Jackson when what time

according to Damien something like that

well someone have recorded the exact

time okay I'm not the same no no Jackson

call about Anne's death I'm certain of

that I went to the box at the top of the

road on the night she died the directory

was open on P was a strong smell of fish

Jackson's perfume I tell you what I

think Belle I think that Jackson saw

something on the day unstable it died

and somebody else didn't want him to

tell us about it then I hope it isn't

humorous because you keep telling up

like a bad penny

I've already asked max don't mind me I'm

sorry to hear about your head how is it

so not as sore as Jackson I'm gonna find

this murder before it picks on anyone

else you think so you can expect a more

civility and another time of death I

guess between 9:00 that's a guess the

bobbies to fit in with your theory

smooth buggers them to hell where were

you between 9:00 and 9:30 oh I have the

perfect alibi the problem is so does my

suspect we were together

[Music]

oh hello sir

doesn't do you any good you didn't want

it anyway didn't you no I mean the point

is how your and all the dogs look at you

it's done exactly

but anyway fine I like that doesn't

bother me but was that the good or the

bad news

we're giving Belle the job he's nothing

exactly the brain shrink but he does I

mean I don't have to tell you is he

fills in the forms he always says the

right anyway shut your mouth a minute

the Jericho killings

about it and if I'm convinced you're not

mixed up in it you can take it over but

theater in ten minutes is already that

is pianet minutes of the time that's

very convenient nevertheless coming back

light on no don't cheer me up

what's Richards car fine was paid first

thing the next day by a Richards tu-16

Oxford I'm a noob Amory on about it good

that's good there's a new spell debited

yeah hmm what about the woman in

Woodstock she says he was with her all

afternoon

yes she looked like the kind of woman

who'd keep you occupied all afternoon I

don't know you've done no and Stabler

was that kind of woman Lewis Col

Richardson make me an appointment to see

him in the morning

right well one thing is certainly true

when Jackson was getting his comeuppance

Murdoch was lying in the wreck cliff and

if he didn't kill Jackson and Alan

Richards didn't kill Jackson who the

hell did maybe superintendent Bell was

right

the murder was that it was a

superintendent Christ let's go and find

a pump oh I need to get home sir it's my

night with the kids you just have to be

a bit late

sorry sir another time Oh sir before you

go there's news from the forensic people

they did find something when they went

back to number 10 two prints and the

wound

Jackson's Chief Inspector Morse Lauren

mr. riches is expecting you please go

through

you'll get your coffee no thank you no

coffee Thanks nice place to work yes Hey

Richard's a good boss

terrific you're very Lord Oh the moss to

come in this is beautiful

why did you lie to me Richards I reckon

you tell me you didn't go to Jericho on

the day and Staveley died that's the

truth

so did you lend your car to nobody

oh the Merc you mean I wasn't that was

probably parked outside while you're

with your friend in Woodstock that's

right I don't use the Mercedes it's too

easily you little metros more I must say

you're extremely generous not only do

you lend somebody a very expensive car

you also pay the parking fines for them

why don't we stop buggering about and

you tell me what really happened on the

afternoon of June the 11th right there's

no point is there if you know about the

parking ticket now okay um I did go to

see em no the fact of the matter is some

time ago I had been very close with Anna

was it not with her I think uh one stage

I considered leaving my wife but that

didn't happen

um and so inevitably it became rather

difficult here at the office with Anne

and it seemed best did she leave and

find something less because I made it

financially you know that was some time

ago

it seemed that she was fine we saw each

other a number of times

anyway she called me she wanted me to

look in she'd had some work done on the

house and I agreed and and that

afternoon I went to can now reach but in

fact there was no one in when I got

there although you did go in oh oh sure

how did you get in oh I was the door was

opened there was nothing new in that

then what well as I said there was no

one there I've no III called her name a

number of times but no one answered so

so I left but she went upstairs didn't

you oh I'm upstairs just to have a look

around I'm June as if she's having a

bath or whatever but I can't remember it

you can't remember you haven't got the

foggiest have you because you were

nowhere near and stable is that

afternoon so you're trying to protect me

my husband's covering for me

husband that's right you sent the

secretary her see Alan was lying about

the car and the ticket I'm going to

Jericho husband very good at lying

inspector over the years he's lied his

way in our whole host of beds for once

he's lying on my path really

was me that went to visit ham Staveley

was me the got the ticket and I painted

and did you kill ants terribly I didn't

have to

she was already dead

[Music]

yes I know it's much like a saloon

window exactly so what's the program

today right Lonnie

anyway my car be ready at lunchtime I

can't think in these other cars oh

that's good then isn't it alright to cut

something out for the Jackson 5 which is

he deposited 250-pound in the post

office on the afternoon he was killed

really in cash was a significant I did

odd jobs well check but I don't think it

was money he got for a job I don't see

why not

well that's cuz you're in a bad mood why

don't we assume it was money he got to

be paid off okay

unless assumed that it was Richards that

paid him off because Jackson had seen

something going on in Jericho on the

afternoon on Staley died the money was

for Jackson to keep his mouth shut but

signs were Jackson wasn't gonna do that

so Richards bumped him off

and this is despite the fact that his

wife says she went to Jericho not in

another woman swears he was in her bed

at the time and I swear he was giving a

lecture when Jackson was killed

that's right oh I think you're probably

right Louis at least that's not to

happen but just doesn't get us anywhere

well I've been asking myself if someone

else could have killed Jackson for

Richards and if it's all who his wife is

brother this morning you can't beat a

good breakfast and it's also me

birthdays I might be something to do

with it got and see the brother then

asking me if he killed Jackson and take

his fingerprints and the other ones tail

on you about it and the lives and find

out if Jackson has recently been paid

for a job because if he has your

theories all to cock I mean dance think

he could have taken that under pans out

to pay Jackson for some job you did for

in fact that could be part of the tune

50 no it isn't I'm still be paid him by

check I've got her check stub and his

pain counter file lose no need to go mad

good luck wits gonna break your birthday

oh no a fax it's a bit early for me

[Music]

[Laughter]

the boy's parents are driving down this

evening no idea what I'm going to say to

them and why should they expect you to

say anything mr. Souter had no idea

about the drugs business and now this I

gather that the family his family a

childís that's the other thing

really apparently yes the cystic

fibrosis on the mother's side

but I quite know why but she told me

when I telephoned her and it was adopted

I didn't know yeah I want to send one of

my sergeants around later to look

through his belongings

unless you have any objection what what

it's just routine we're not intending to

prosecute despite the fact that he

assaulted a police officer worse he

assaulted this police officer he's

punished himself so there's no point

well that's thank you

well in that case of course we shouldn't

object to what an idiot

it's been staring me in the face I'm

sorry who killed unstable it's been

staring me in the face

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

the same person was trying to find

whatever it was they were looking for

when they killed Jackson problem is it

couldn't be totally Richard's easily

with me he wasn't his brother I didn't

get that good a look at the man but I'll

swear it wasn't Alan rich it wasn't Alan

Richards in London some conference or

other no bloody well asked anyway he

can't be a suspect any longer you gotta

turn these prints oh yeah I like to

mostly kill anybody I did like she's in

Bunbury still pretty happy to give a

statement on her fingerprints are you

repentant oh she also spent the evening

Jackson died with told me she said that

you paid the parking ticket she did his

rough yeah so I thought about Richards

then he didn't kill either on he didn't

kill the man who killed and Staveley is

called soffits losers

see when he's at home look what you did

a couple things for me then I'll explain

everything I want to know the name of

the other driver when and staleys

husband was killed but then I don't know

what happened to the son she had adopted

Social Services will tell you and if

they get stropping all could get very

stroppy an awkward back don't know this

Sophocles only if you loved your mother

worse excuse me sir

Sarge you said to let you know about

those prints Tony Rich's these brothers

like Fidel Richards yeah that's right on

neither the match with the ones we've

got them in here

still nice one it want to rest who's

that

this is Sophocles child Lewis Sophocles

died two and half thousand years ago

what are you doing you just running me

or one oh you are on you look okay I

don't know who this bloke is am I

supposed to survive half hours work

without reaching for being lost that's a

good idea Louis we still haven't

celebrated your birthday come on

and I'll tell you why I'm deadly serious

about Sophocles actually now first

things first

you know what about the he deepest

complex is where you want to bet your

mum and bury your dad ya know the juice

oh they just still do fine Sophocles

were to play about it he puts the king

now EDD persist is big man who found out

that the woman he'd married was his

mother and a man he'd killed in an

argument at a crossroads was his father

so Jocasta there was his wife and his

mom when she found out guess what she

did killed him she hangs herself

mamasay interesting that I can't imagine

marrying my mother quality difference

wasn't too happy about it either one she

bit old for it she was very attractive

no after she's hanged herself

he poked his own eyes out any of this

sound familiar

yeah yeah aren't Staveley in it and she

had a son who she had adopted right and

guess who I find out today is an adopted

son Edwin Murdoch yes and guess whose

birthday falls on the same day and

Staveley died

Edwin Murdoch

it's just coins we had a copy of the

Sophocles by Abed you'll almost

certainly one time another had an Edmodo

keno but now I know it sounds incredible

but maybe that's the point we wires

you're an intelligent attractive woman

suddenly decide to do something so

terrible I mean why else does a talented

young man blind himself

what about killing the father word a

sucker I go and find out who else was

involved in the car crash right right

that's impossible

no the only coincidence really is that

an state has adopted son should turn up

in Oxford it's quite possible I should

find themselves attracted to each other

the rest after they found out well

that's the product there's something

else that's some kind of bizarre kind of

atonement so Sophocles did it

[Music]

fer there's nothing to report yet sir

so there's no point in haggling with

social services go direct to the Murdoch

boys easily after 5:00 yes I've tried

that but he's being operated on the game

today they're trying to rescue the

mothers he's got a retina damage anyways

so I can go back tomorrow but in the

meantime younger the Richards office

your appointments early tomorrow we're

all meeting in the canal arrange for

lunch

[Music]

sorry Syd those waiting Oh everybody

I'll tell you something else for nothing

if I'm right when we were wrong and I

did commit suicide there's a note

somewhere I want to read it oh good man

can I help you Chief Inspector more CID

I'd like to speak to Tony Richards I'm

afraid mr. Richards is at lunch can I

take a message

no I don't think so when you expect him

I'm sorry he may not be back again today

sir he wasn't sure yes it's always a

dilemma isn't it coming back after lunch

we'd like to look around the offices I

think one of the partners would prefer

to show you right I haven't got time to

muck about you take Tony's office I'll

ransack Allen's mrs. Richards

sorry to bother you still the polizia

without a cell phone yes

was nothing to matter

what are you found listen to this loose

brilliant amazing sound well was it was

filed under be for blackmail I'm serious

so Jackson was / Jackson was

blackmailing it looks like it except

except I'm not sure but I can't believe

Jackson wrote that letter why do you say

that no it's too dear mr. Richards it's

about mrs. Stavely who died I know all

about her but does mrs. Richards know

well we know it wasn't very clever there

wasn't a single book in his house well

that's the point whoever wrote that

wants you to think he's not very clever

but that letter there's nothing to

misunderstand

despite the spelling despite the

punctuation it doesn't affect what's

being said just clear as crystal no

Jackson didn't write that letter and if

he didn't notice who the hell did write

it I hope you've got a very good

explanation for entering these offices

bladder warrant I have I'm just

photocopying it I'll have to keep the

original but this is for your reference

doesn't he know I think it's a complete

bluff he's trying to force us into some

sort of confession all he's got is that

blackmail letter and that's easily dealt

with you reckon Luud setup code to pay

to their daughter do any good oh don't

go more than honest right eysan

humiliated on your behalf but yes I'll

try not to move

[Music]

sorry sorry I'm late

still nice day tell me Richards we

haven't met I'm Mort

I thought you'd let yourselves in shall

we go in the front room that's probably

best

what do you think Helen oh sure might as

well sit Donna

anybody play window what'll happen to

these things look there's your lovely

turntable gathering just stretch it God

these fingerprint boys make a mess

anyway

I asked you all to come here today

because I was hoping sergeant nurse' be

there by now

I know it can't be helped yes yes this

was an stainless house and in there is

where she died

from that beam she tied a called to that

hook I expected was normally used for

hanging up a washing shut the door

and you can't even tell she's there

that's what happened to me I came here

on the day she died and I didn't even

know she was hanging there that was

while you were here mrs. Richards yes

yes yes yes you were upstairs going

through Ann's things looking for any

letters of might incriminate your

husband much as yesterday afternoon I

was going through your husband's office

looking for any letters that might

incriminate him you found love letters I

found a blackmail note

[Music]

what did you do about that blackmail no

darlin I paid up did you yes I yeah I

gave Jackson the money what are you you

know listen okay on the day he died I I

delivered the money I had to leave it

behind a telephone box just just down

the road there's no mention of this

arrangement in the letter no he called

me

shortly after I see fine so you paid him

the money how much by the way two

hundred and fifty pounds I told him that

was all I was prepared to give so you

paid in the two fifty and later that day

he was murdered well you know it

couldn't have been me I was with you but

it wasn't your brother was it not even a

brother I'd be prepared to go that far

no I can't remember where you were in

that particular night Tony

I was with Adele oh yes yes with your

brother's wife I know you can vouch for

that mrs. Richards yes yes well I must

say I don't believe you I think you

killed George Jackson while your brother

was giving his talk to our group

I think you've followed Jackson back

from the drop and confronted him in his

house about what evidence if any he had

about your brother's liaison with

unstable E and when Jackson wouldn't

play ball you smashed his head open on

his bedpost how am i doing it's rubbish

and you know it your sergeant took my

brother's fingerprints and um they

didn't match with the ones shown in

Jackson's house so so what other

evidence have you got and besides if I'm

prepared to cover up for my husband why

should he worry about being blackmailed

in the first place it doesn't make sense

well I was hoping that you'd explain

that to me

I can't explain it because it didn't

happen Tony didn't kill Jackson

that'll be sergeant Lewis will you

excuse me I thank god you're here I'm

awful at my old backside sorry said I

was been chasing up odd stuff on the

unstable adoption in one a later I think

you should know this now unstable II son

was adopted by a family in Wales I've

spawned him on the phone this morning

he's a postman relieved her husband was

killed in a head-on collision just

outside Portsmouth the other driver was

a pensioner died instantly naturally

and I've also chat with Swansea and when

Murdoch doesn't even have a driving

license sophocles didn't do it well it

looks as I should send everybody home is

unclearly so far off beam well that

means we're going to leave us in peace

from now on I'd only you can afford to

be so righteous mrs. Richards

anyway let escape yeah mr. Richard we

met up sergeant Lewis

Oh what did you say I was just

introducing myself to mr. Richard just

say that again just repeat exactly what

you just said we haven't met I'm

Sergeant Lewis you have met Louis you've

taken this man's fingerprints no so

that's the mr. Richards whose prints are

talk Tony Richards just true

fretta so which of you is Alan Richards

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it

it's Morse yes I want to try and close

the Jericho case this evening there's a

few things I need to know just for my

peace of mind all right

did you see iron on the day she died

yes a rather I saw her Dead that they

should die what runs up a house in the

morning she was right I was there

anything did you take anything from the

room yes I took money from my purse it

was money you're not gonna believe this

it was funny she taking out the bank for

me I believe you

she thought she was paying for driving

lessons I don't even remember some story

I invented to get cash from all right

but no letters so you didn't disturb

anything else no I panicked I was so

desperate for heroin I couldn't even I

should have phoned the police and saved

up the humiliation from hanging there

all day well so desperate

were you the father of her child I don't

think that's possible inspector I don't

have relationships with women

right okay but there's just one more

thing letters come into my possession

addressed to a mr. Alan Richards and

asking him for money

in fact demanding money I'm assuming

that that letter was a sort of practical

joke am I right in thinking that yes

then you'd better have it back how did

you know I sent it

well those guesses where you've guessed

everything else had been wrong and you

typed the envelope and I checked it with

your typewriter

anyway it had to be you because there

wasn't anyone else really

so just genius

[Music]

Richard's hurt em so much

that's what she killed herself she was

tired of being hurt by man had no qualms

about trying to get money off him he had

plenty and he was so cruel to her she

said once that she waited every day for

him to call or arrive and he didn't

bother I let that being into it burn it

well thanks Sam

inspector I'm still here

yes I miss it too

[Music]

did she ever say anything about me I

know she talked about me at the

beginning when I was a bit clumsy about

asking her out but did she say anything

after that

I'm sorry not that I remember

no I just

[Music]

[Music]

water music on the letter and a bleep

was inside one of Jackson's rods the

hollow and sees the Lord's one letter

just said a letter I don't know let's

see what I couldn't have found it the

first time run what were they doing

we couldn't find like a trophy we all

know what a fishing rod looks like who

found it one of the boys I guess that

well I think what happened is that one

of the blocks is a bit of a keen

fisherman and here is it admiring the

rods when he came across the land what

are you trying to say Louis where did

this admiration of the rod take place in

the chaps cows in the chaps guards

taking his work home with him was he

I've spoken to Manson I'm pretty

confident it won't happen again and the

fact of the matter is he could have just

thrown the letter away so is the rest of

Jackson's tackle in the shed absolutely

yeah definitely all right we'll all stay

until we find out whether or not there

any more letters sir doesn't say what

you thought it would say

it says that Richards broke her heart

take a copy of it let Richard see it

forget it there won't be any other I

think he thought she might have written

a letter there's somebody else and you

read this and changed his mind

I don't just stand there this place

tidied up this time leave the rods alone

look you're loud Dixon on another day

you'd have ended up with one of them

fish hooks up your fuck side amazing

four of us went into that house on the

day she died

first Jackson and Murdoch and Adele

Richards

and then me and I'm the only one that

came away empty-handed

fancy point I'd like to know I'll see

you tomorrow

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
