Do you know anything about this one? 373 00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:02,229 We think it came from a piggy bank, which belonged to Richard Rackham. 374 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:08,510 - Do you recognize it? - No. It can fit anywhere. 375 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,309 Isn't that a locker key? 376 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:18,590 Kay opens the pool in the summer. Everyone has locker keys. This is mine. 377 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,517 84 … 378 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:51,994 - It looks like royalty statements. - Here are some calculations... 379 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,434 What is that there? 380 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:06,997 “Rich, you have to leave Neville, otherwise I'll end it for you." 381 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,994 “I cannot live or love without you." 382 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:33,594 Promise me you'll tell her as soon as the festival is over, Sam. 383 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:12,030 - What can I help you with? - The royalty statements confuse me. 384 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:18,310 Why did Richard Rackham hide them? Why did Neville Williams risk - 385 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:24,430 - to be seen at the crime scene to get the key to them? 386 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,150 It is difficult to understand. 387 00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:33,952 Tell more about the case. Riddles and deductions are my forte. 388 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:39,353 We think the killer is trained to kill. 389 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:49,194 What do you think of John Denton? No likely killer, right? 390 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,672 - Who else had a motive? - Harry Poulson may have had it. 391 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:59,631 - He's gay too, right? - He has had relationships with both victims. 392 00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:04,271 - Blackmail? - That is another possibility. 393 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:10,231 Rackham blamed Callaghan for, that his second novel was a failure. 394 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:15,793 Maybe Neville and he found discrepancies in the bookkeeping - 395 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,510 - and demanded money from Callaghan. 396 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:24,276 Neville was a highly gifted editor, very ambitious. 397 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,355 Although Richard was bitter enough to attempt blackmail - 398 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,799 - I doubt that Neville would have risked his career. 399 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:42,833 No, the love letter must be the most important clue. Sugar? 400 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,715 Coffee, my dear. 401 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,316 And so I am applying for a divorce. 402 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:07,358 I thought that was settled. It's over between Grace and me. 403 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:28,957 - Helen, I'll make it over today... - You must not lie. It's tiring! 404 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,871 It's probably Mr. Barnaby. He called before. 405 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,714 Good morning. Come inside. 406 00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:46,031 - Coffee? - No thanks. 407 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:51,320 I just have a quick question regarding your business. 408 00:53:54,520 --> 00:54:00,311 I found copies of royalty statements in a cupboard belonging to Richard Rackham. 409 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:05,236 And I think Neville Williams would love to get hold of them. 410 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:10,315 They might be able to enlighten me about the reason for it? 411 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,631 No, I guess I can't. 412 00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:18,430 Neville just could have taken copies from the computer. 413 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:23,117 Thanks. See you at The Quill. 414 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,712 Are you hiding from mrs. Hunnicutt? 415 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,316 Cully! Cully! 416 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,950 - How about now? - Perfect. 417 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,991 I make sure she doesn't come in. 418 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:11,200 We are just scratching the surface. We should talk more with the Settingfield couple. 419 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:16,992 Check out Jezebel and Callaghan and the judges. Any news on them there? 420 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:22,712 Someone in the fraud department says, that the royalty statements are genuine. 421 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:29,354 The handwriting is income from Jezebel Tripp's latest book. 422 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:34,037 I would like a part of that. 423 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:39,911 Why should Richard Rackham save Jezebel's accounts? 424 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,632 Don't know. Graphologist's opinion whether the love letter is interesting. 425 00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:50,032 Aren't they wonderful…? "A left-handed woman." 426 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,909 Richard Rackham was clearly bisexual. 427 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,153 Look at the cigar butt report… 428 00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:02,837 - Purple lipstick. - Jezebel Tripp's favorite color. 429 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,319 Is everyone here? 430 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,391 Well… 431 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:29,873 I guess we should declare the judging panel too open. 432 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,396 As | know, we pretty much agree. 433 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:37,713 Three votes for John Denton, one on Sally Singh. 434 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,191 I'm close to making up my mind - 435 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:46,070 - then we can go to the final vote earlier than usual? 436 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,913 Why that? 437 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:54,279 Considering that a judge has become murdered, perhaps it was preferable. 438 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:10,350 - I hope you like Barbados. - I sure do. 439 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,430 Miss Tripp? Sorry, I'm disturbing 440 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:34,511 - Hello. I have a reading. - Just a few quick questions... 441 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:40,152 The problem you discussed with neville and mr. Callaghan yesterday 442 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,757 They seemed to want to fix something before the vote. 443 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:51,030 I am being chased by several publishers and would hear Sam and Neville's offer first. 444 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:57,275 I understand. Do you smoke cigars? 445 00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,831 Sometimes when no one is looking. Smoking is so old fashioned. 446 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:07,632 When you gave evidence, you said, that you were never out on the terrace. 447 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,759 Yes, I was out there smoking. Yesterday afternoon. 448 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,470 Thanks. That's just what I wanted to know. 449 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:21,112 - Jeez?

John has something to tell. 456 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,875 Greetings, mate. 457 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:14,876 Grace steals money from the foundation. Mrs. Hunnicutt helps her. 458 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:21,440 I have seen it with my own eyes. And I'm not alone in that. Cully? 459 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,555 Is this wise? Miss Barnaby? 460 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:33,114 It is true. The suppliers take way too much for almost everything. 461 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,797 Afterwards, they split the difference with Grace. Mrs. H. is an intermediary. 462 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,879 Here is the proof. 463 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:52,760 Callaghan's publishing house is hanging on wire. Without Jezebel he was done. 464 00:59:52,840 --> 01:00:00,031 - I thought he was successful. - The publishing house was when his wife ran it. 465 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:05,832 And Jezebel is raised in the whiskey belt, not in the gutter! 466 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,879 She has only seen the street from a taxi. 467 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:16,479 Even Milla has a past. Did you know she was Russian? Poltova. 468 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:22,272 She spent a few years in the Gulag before she settled in London after the war. 469 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:28,595 The man died young. And Conor fell hopelessly in love with her. 470 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:35,551 When she rejected him, He married Grace. 471 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:41,079 Thank you. They have given us a lot to think about. 472 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,870 Can we meet at the station? I just want to test a theory. 473 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:08,519 Jezebel! We have to postpone the plans. Barnaby is too approachable. 474 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,116 Zero! | the day after tomorrow is too late. 475 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:16,353 I can always negotiate with your other half. 476 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,796 Try it and you will die. 477 01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:01,311 - No Tom? - He is always late. 478 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:07,316 - Sorry for being late. - It doesn't matter. Something to drink? 479 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:14,149 I hear you're interested in a career change, Tom? 480 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,234 Yes... With the right publisher. 481 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,995 Now is a good time. 482 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:28,713 Crime novels are in, and no publisher is better than Callaghan De Vere. 483 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,550 - How will your next book be? - Shorter ... and much more expensive. 484 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,316 Think I'm joking? 485 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:24,669 Unfortunately, we have run out of time, so we say thank you to Jezebel. 486 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,677 I'm done.

Now you must definitely find two murderers. 492 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,915 Our dinner was smoked at Sergio's tomorrow night. 493 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:45,200 My theory held water. She had hidden it here by the gate. 494 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,113 Send it to the lab. 495 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:53,149 I also visited David Lowry's room. He has disappeared. 496 01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,518 Detective Scott. 497 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,789 Are you sure? Thanks. 498 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:14,279 It was the graphologist. Jezebel wrote obviously not the love letter. 499 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:18,194 - Dad? - I'm quite busy, Cully. 500 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:22,717 It's about Jezebel… and Sam Callaghan. 501 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:28,000 It was a negotiation, nothing else. She tried to get more for the book. 502 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,799 We didn't argue! 503 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:37,229 What did you mean by negotiate with Jezebel's other half? Who is that? 504 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,312 Just another writer. 505 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,553 Why should I kill my biggest source of income? 506 01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,359 The lab has called. 507 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:56,793 They have identified the prints on the murder weapon. They were in the registry. 508 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,674 Hello… 509 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,472 - Why did you do that? - To cheer you up. 510 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:14,999 Thanks. I still can't fathom it. We were together just before. 511 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,596 Death always comes unexpectedly. 512 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,957 One moment you are fine… 513 01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:28,355 … and then it happens. Time flies, and the future is torn away forever. 514 01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,831 - Beautifully said. - I've practiced it. 515 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:37,472 I want to ask you some questions John. 516 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,440 That's about it about the murder of Jezebel Tripp. 517 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:48,950 - I haven't killed anyone! - Your fingerprint was on the murder weapon. 518 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,835 I helped set up the tents! 519 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:06,869 Your fingerprint was on the murder weapon, but not in blood - 520 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:13,195 - so maybe you're telling the truth. But we still have a problem. Sit down. 521 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,798 Just like the old days, right? 522 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:26,796 What did you do between two and four? And you have to convince me. 523 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:33,197 Will you be convinced, if you talked to your daughter? 524 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:40,790 At first we followed her to a travel agency in Causton - 525 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:46,558 - then we saw her meet mrs. Callaghan. I was with him the whole time. 526 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:53,239 - He could have said that immediately! - I asked him not to say anything. 527 01:07:53,320 --> 01:08:00,317 Keeping quiet about what mrs. Hunnicutt and Grace Maplin was busy - 528 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:04,189 - can be considered as to withhold evidence. 529 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:09,719 Excuse me. We wanted to make sure that we do not jump to conclusions. 530 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,998 There is one thing you can do for me… 531 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:20,150 Keep an eye on mrs. Hunnicutt, until I can take care of her. 532 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,991 Thanks. 533 01:08:24,440 --> 01:08:30,516 Let John Denton go.

Most of it has been deleted. 536 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:43,314 They found only one email from Richard Rackham - 537 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:47,712 - to mrs. Crofton, where he asks her to come visit. 538 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:55,230 Jezebel got lots of money from Callaghan's publishing house. 539 01:08:55,320 --> 01:09:02,238 The strange thing is that most of it stayed paid out again almost immediately. 540 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:08,839 To one company, "Reiterations Ltd". Was it perhaps extortion? 541 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:13,790 Interesting. Find out everything what you know about Reiterations. 542 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:18,829 - I want to speak to Grace Maplin. - Have fun. 543 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,993 I can't stand it, Sam. It's all a mess. 544 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:28,792 The most important thing is that we stick to it on target and continues forward. 545 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:34,353 How?

She has to go out with Midsomer's worst dressed man. 740 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:06,236 Be safe. 741 01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:10,234 Stop it! You can both write and cook. 742 01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,879 Shall we get married? 743 01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:28,318 - What a nice surprise. - You deserved something extra. 744 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:34,112 - You don't want to try writing, do you? - No. It was useful and interesting. 745 01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:38,080 But I'm fine the way I am. 746 01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:41,949 I was right about that to the publishing world. It stinks. 747 01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:48,673 And the jury will probably think that Camilla acted in self-defense. 748 01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:54,756 Cheers to Camilla Crofton! May she live forever. Na zdorovje! 749 01:34:07,440 --> 01:34:11,070 Texts: Claus Stenhøj www.undertext.com
