I'll be the one that needs you now.

Oh, yes.

Oh, it's you.

Cheeky sod.

What else is it going to be?

I have my admirers.

In your dreams, you do.

Anyway, get a move on.

I want to do that shopping on the way back.

How's it going inside?

Mr. Turner hasn't got up yet, and Mrs. Turner's

downstairs taking coffee with Mrs. Wilmot.

They just rushed off their feet.

Hasn't he discussed it with Jack, do you know?

He hasn't mentioned anything.

It was financial, I know that.

I just wish he'd talk to me.

He always used to get up early, first

into the office, last out.

He had enthusiasm.

♪♪

They used to get on so well.

You must have noticed the mood has changed.

Maybe you're reading too much into it.

And he definitely hasn't said anything to you.

My husband never complied to me about financial matters.

Oh, don't! No!

Oh!

Ah!

I'm sorry about this, Joyce.

Nothing is certain, Joyce, but I foresee no problem.

♪♪

What have we got?

Good question, sir.

Victim's name's Nicholas Turner.

He's a local solicitor.

Took a stroll off his roof.

The, uh, the gardener, Steve Hope,

thinks he heard someone calling out for help

just before it happened.

He says he thinks he sounded like the victim.

Cool.

I'll see him there.

Morning, George.

Tom.

Bit of a bad landing, this one.

Initial impression as to cause of death, catastrophic

head and spinal injuries.

It's quite a snappy dresser.

That's the downstairs neighbor.

She actually saw the body hit the deck through the window.

She was having coffee with a wife at the time.

Wife's name's Felicity Turner.

Where's she? Where's the wife?

She's upstairs.

Cleaning lady's looking after her.

This is Steve Hope.

Steve, this is Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.

Steve.

You OK?

I understand you heard some, uh, shouts just before it happened.

Is that right?

I was, uh, working on the other side of the house,

weatherproofing a bench.

Couldn't see anything, but yeah.

-Upstairs, sir. -Tell me exactly what did you hear?

Someone shouting.

Pretty sure it was Nick.

Something like, no, for God's sake, something like that.

And then there was this yell.

I ran around to this side of the house

and saw Felicity with Nick's body.

Called the police.

Tried to comfort her.

Who else was here at the time?

Antonia.

That's Mrs. Wilmot.

She was by the window, pretty shaken up.

Other than that, just my partner, Sarah, was sort of a team.

She does the cleaning, I do the gardening.

And there was no one else here, no corners?

Got a few scuff marks here, sir.

Could have been a struggle.

Question is, what would anyone be doing

up here in the first place?

Is there someone you can stay with, Mrs. Turner?

You could always stay at our cottage if you... you know.

That's very kind.

Thank you.

It's not suicide. It's definitely not.

He wouldn't do that.

He just wouldn't do that.

I've been trying to get her to change out of that dress,

but she's just in a daze.

Poor thing.

Um, and you are the cleaner for?

I do the Wilmots downstairs, the two floors.

And the Turner's up here.

And when did you last see Mr. Turner alive?

It was just before it happened.

Just minutes, literally.

I was down there dusting.

I saw him come out of the apartment and go up the stairs.

Looks like he was curious that he was

on his way toward the roof.

Well, he's been behaving a bit odd lately.

Depressed.

Not getting up till late.

And I have seen him on the roof once or twice,

staring off into the distance.

So it wasn't that odd.

Did he seem stressed the last time you saw him?

Not really.

OK.

-Well, thank you. -Thank you very much.

I'll get back to Mrs. Turner.

Why did you ask if he was stressed, sir?

If Mr. Turner wanted to make it not appear like a suicide,

he may deliberately have tried to appear upbeat

in his general demeanor and dress.

Anyway, we need to check his life cover

and get his bank details.

The Shires Bank, Causton branch.

I saw the checkbook in the apartment, sir.

Hello, Mrs. Wilmot.

This is Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.

Come in.

And you were actually talking to Felicity Turner

when it happened?

Yes.

What were you talking about?

Well, Nick and my husband, Jack.

Yes?

Well, she was a bit worried that, uh, well,

they might have fallen out.

She probably told you.

No.

Fallen out, what about?

Well, my husband works in the city.

I have a feeling he may have given Nick

some financial advice that didn't work out too well.

And Felicity was worried about that, was she?

Were there financial problems?

She seemed to think so.

Well, we'll, uh, we'll need to talk to your husband.

I'm afraid he's at work at the moment.

I could call him.

Don't, don't, don't worry. What time does he get home?

He tends to leave early and get back early.

Avoid the rush.

Should be home about 6.30.

Please. Come in. Come in.

Thank you.

I'm afraid I have to tell you, Mr. Perkins,

that one of your customers died today

in suspicious circumstances.

Name of Nicholas Turner, local solicitor.

Dear, oh, dear.

Dear, oh, dear.

I actually knew him quite well.

He's the occasional member of a pub quiz

team I sometimes play for.

Can I ask what the circumstances were of the death?

Yes, you can.

It was a fatal fall.

Uh, and when you say you're treating it as suspicious,

does that mean there's no question

of it being self-inflicted?

You mean suicide?

We're keeping an open mind on that at this stage.

Um, we need to ask what his financial situation was.

Well, in many ways, he was an exemplary customer.

In many ways.

But this is in confidence.

Of course.

He had the misfortune of having-in-law

who suffered greatly with their health

towards the end of their lives.

It was unfortunate for them, of course, as well.

Nicholas insisted on giving them the best health

care available.

And you know how expensive that can be.

Very generous man.

No expense spared.

They lingered.

Mr. Turner was in debt.

House mortgage to the limit, I'm afraid.

Overdraft, not a huge one, but big enough.

Oh, dear.

Was he left anything?

Sadly, no.

It turned out the only remaining asset the parents had

was their house in Causton.

I'm afraid that, too, had been remortgaged.

Had he any enemies?

Do you know Otto Benham, the local historian,

expert on Roman Britain?

Yes, yes, I do.

He's a solicitor too, isn't he?

That's him.

I had heard Otto had been casting a few aspersions

on Nicholas's professionalism.

Nicholas had taken a few clients off Otto,

one or two highly valued clients.

So?

Nick wasn't just a business partner.

He was also a good friend.

Mr. Martin, we need to ask you some questions which

may appear a little insensitive at this time.

Thank you, Margaret.

We've heard there's a rumor going around

that Mr. Turner may have been dipping

into your client's accounts.

Could there be any truth in that?

Absolutely not.

We'd like you to look into those accounts, if you would,

just to make absolutely certain.

Well, yes.

Are you alright?

I'm sorry, yes. Come in.

Jack isn't actually back yet, but I'm

sure he'll be back any moment.

You spoke to him at work, did you?

Explained that we wanted to talk to him?

No, I didn't actually.

He wasn't in the office today.

Well, was he out of business?

Oh, they don't actually know where he is,

which is, um,

but he'll be back.

I know he'll be back.

It's quiz night at the Crown.

He never misses quiz night.

Indus.

Oh.

Thank you very much.

Blame him.

We'll recommence in 10 minutes.

Hello, Tom.

-Viv. -Want to keep your friend under control.

He's liable to get himself lynched in here.

A bit of a justifiable homicide, that, wouldn't it?

Viv, have you seen Wilmot this evening?

I doubt he'll be in.

His neighbor died today.

I suppose you'd know that.

Is that why you're here?

I don't know where he is.

I'm going to ask one of the Chateau Lafitte's.

They should know.

-The what? -The name of his quiz team.

I think I know that one.

Yeah, you do.

You know the face.

You know the glasses.

Local celebrity and former TV quiz show

host, Mike Spicer.

Bloody hell, he was awful.

The fellow with him, that's Otto Benham.

What, the one who was peddling the rumors about Nick Turner?

Yeah.

Yes?

I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby,

and this is DS Scott.

And we were wondering if either of you

could tell us where Wilmot is.

I know he's let us down.

Got a bloody round of football questions.

He's our sports expert.

Or at least he's supposed to be.

Probably staying at home.

Some misguided attempt at respect for the dead.

His neighbor managed to fall off his roof

and kill himself today.

We're actually keeping an open mind

as to whether or not Mr. Turner fell off

the roof all on his own.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you treating Jack as a suspect, Inspector?

Well, he's not at home.

Wife doesn't know where he is.

Did he take the car?

No, apparently he walks to the station in the morning.

On another matter, we've been told

that someone has been putting rumors about that Mr. Turner was

dipping into his client's accounts.

Nothing to do with me, Gav.

You heard the rumors?

Of course.

Never trust your money to a man who pays his bills late.

Or drinks low alcohol lager.

It's not growing on me.

-Is it you? -I'm in the bank.

What do you do?

I don't know.

Thank you for your time, gentlemen.

Spot the churns, good graduates.

Perkins from the bank's over here.

Think he's worth another word, don't you?

I think the barmaid might be worth talking to as well.

Well, she looks like one of life's observers.

You might have seen something.

-Yeah, OK. -See what you can get.

Mr. Perkins, we meet again, sir.

Please.

Thank you.

Do you think Otto had anything to do with what happened

at Sanford House today?

This is George, Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.

Yes.

Why are you asking?

Otto Benham didn't get where he is by keeping to the rules.

We had a minute's silence earlier for Nick.

They just carried on sipping their wine, both of them.

Arrogant-and-sos.

Everybody else comes down here for a laugh.

Talk about competitive.

That lot take the quiz very seriously.

That means they win a lot.

Otto can't stand losing at anything.

Quiz night or anything.

Cheers, Jane.

Your teammate seems a bit under the weather.

Jane knew Nick Turner quite well.

She used to work for him.

How well did she know him?

Quite well.

Thank you.

Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby, Jane Hampton.

How do you do?

I understand you knew Nick Turner quite well.

Yes, I did.

We'll be starting the next round in a couple of minutes.

If you haven't got your drinks in yet, you better do it now.

I'd like to have a chat with you, if that's all right.

A bit later on, get a bit of background on Nick.

Where can we reach you?

I live at the lodge at the entrance to Sanford House.

OK, we'll be in touch.

-Thank you. -Excuse me.

It's not a good time to talk to Sarah, so I'll have

to pick my moment.

Sarah?

Jack's just not the sort of person who goes off.

I mean, all I'm saying is it's weird.

No.

No.

Oh, there were some letters for Felicity in the box.

I wondered if you wouldn't mind.

Well, she's staying at the Hope, so.

It's a bit awkward for me going up there.

Of course.

Come in. Come in. I'll put the kettle on.

There's no word from Wilmot's wife, sir.

No messages.

So I think we have to assume that Wilmot is still

missing, which makes him our chief suspect.

Maybe Felicity Turner had a boyfriend,

and it's the old two birds with one stone job, you know?

Get rid of the husband, land the insurance money.

Yes, that's possible.

Unless, of course, Wilmot is dead as well.

Any sign of your husband?

No.

We were just on our way up to see you.

Have you got a recent photograph of Jack

-we could use, please? -I'm just on my way back now.

Do you want a lift?

Mr. Barnaby, do you think at some stage

I could have a few minutes of your time?

I'll walk back and look something out.

Mm.

It's just that something happened

when I was working for Nick.

Something that he asked me not to mention to anyone,

but I was wondering if in the circumstances

it might be relevant.

A man named Peter Blagdon contacted him,

and they had a meeting.

That's a familiar name.

You may be thinking of Anthony Blagdon, his brother.

Yes, who used to own Sanford House.

He still owns a freehold, though I

don't think anyone ever sees him.

The agents handle all that.

And what was this meeting with Peter Blagdon about?

I don't know.

It was away from the office.

But I saw him, a nondescript little man.

And I had the distinct feeling something,

well, something shady was going on.

And then a couple of weeks later,

Nick came back into the office one afternoon

looking terrible.

He said there'd been an accident,

and I asked if anyone had been hurt,

and he said with a kind of weird look in his eyes,

you could say that.

I've never seen him like that before.

What did he mean?

He wouldn't say.

He changed the subject.

But it was about that time he became depressed

and sort of,

oh, I don't know, spiky and withdrawn.

And your relationship with Mr. Tower,

that was purely professional, was it?

We were friends.

I don't know what you've heard, but there

was nothing more than that.

What about Felicity, the wife?

Did she have anything with anybody?

Like who?

Like Wilmot, for example.

Jack's a flirt with everyone.

We've all had to put up with it.

OK, perhaps he was a bit more persistent with Felicity,

but that's only because she was too polite

to tell him to get lost.

What is it they say?

Boys and their toys.

Apparently they're all very accurate reproductions.

Otto has his own private museum.

He can spend whole days in there sometimes.

Which seems to suit us both quite well.

Not across the lawn!

How many times do I have to tell you?

I wouldn't mind if she could pat across on her

own two feet in flat-soled shoes,

but I have to play croquet on this rutted surface.

It's all yours.

Have you found Jack yet?

No, no, we haven't.

But a name has come up, and I know

that your knowledge of local families is pretty extensive.

Do you know a Peter Blagdon?

Peter, I know Antonia.

Peter's his wayward brother, isn't he?

Lives abroad somewhere.

But you've never met him?

No.

I also have to ask you where you were yesterday at midday.

-Ah. -Ah.

I was at my office.

As everyone there can testify, you're welcome to ask them.

Does the delicious Jane Hampton have an alibi?

You were talking to her last night, eh?

Yes, why do you ask?

You know she was in love with him, with Nick Turner.

We all know how quickly love can turn to hate.

That's why she left Turner and Martin.

Couldn't bear being so close to him,

not being able to show her true feelings.

Why do you say that?

Oh, everyone could see it.

Apart, of course, from the idiot Turner himself.

He had no idea why she fell for him.

She used to have a high-powered job in the city, you know?

Couldn't cut the mustard, had a nervous breakdown.

That's probably why she was so attracted

to Nick Turner,

the human equivalent of a comfort blanket.

A rather wet one at that.

I think you'll find her on the bench at the end there.

Thanks, Sarah.

You'll think I'm completely balmy.

I keep thinking I'm hearing these noises

as if, well,

it's rather a difficult one to explain.

When we first moved here, Jack heard stories

at the pub about there being an old wine cellar that was

supposed to be under the house.

He became a bit obsessed by it, trying to find the entrance.

Anyway, he suddenly stopped looking.

It was odd.

Do you think he found it?

I had a nightmare last night that he was locked in.

He was trying to communicate with me somehow,

trying to get me to find the entrance.

And now I keep hearing these noises.

Who would have locked him in?

What sort of scam?

It's no use asking me.

I kept well out of his doings.

Something's iffy.

You can count on that.

Mrs. Benham, do you think there was any significance in them

putting you by the window like that so you could,

uh, witness what was happening?

Yes, I think there probably was.

I've always been aware of what a shasta otter was,

but I decided early on to turn a blind eye.

I've always been very keen on comfort, status.

Couldn't really live a life without it.

I imagine whoever it was thought that witnessing my husband's

death would be a form of punishment.

But you see, I'd had my punishment already.

No, no, I don't mean the riding accident.

I mean living with the man, sharing his

appalling life.

Quite punishment enough.

I suppose I did feel a twinge of pity in his

last shuddering squirps of agony, but...

Not a great deal.

Who says marriage is dead?

I want you to take the wine and the labels

to the auctioneers in Causton.

See what their experts make of them.

Antonia.

I'm so sorry, Bernie.

You must feel awful.

Mixed feelings, really.

How are you?

Any word from Jack?

No.

Nothing.

Come and have a cup of tea.

Or maybe something stronger.

Do they know who did it?

Think they'd be spoiled for choice in the enemies

of Otto Department.

Bernie, I'm sorry to ask.

At a time like this, it must seem really selfish

when you've just lost your husband and everything.

But I'm desperate.

What is it, my dear?

What's happened to Otto, it's made me think.

You see, I've been suspecting that Jack was involved

with Otto in some kind of, excuse me for saying this,

but some kind of dodgy deal.

Oh, please.

If it involved Otto, it almost invariably was.

We've just found a whole collection

of faked wine labels in the safe.

If that isn't a dodgy deal, I don't know what is.

Come on, my dear.

I'd offer champagne if there was any left.

But I rather think it's all on the lawn.

Oh, no.

There is a bottle left.

Bit of bubbly, my dear.

Around about midnight last night.

I have to ask you this.

Were you both here last night?

Yes.

Yes.

Mrs. Turner, did your husband ever

mention an old wine cellar under Sanford House?

He may have done.

I think it was more Jack who went on about that.

Not really.

Now, a case of the Petrus 61 went for $90,000, apparently.

Six bottles of the Mouton Rothschild fetched $70,000.

But they both had a very good provenance.

I think that's like a pedigree, sir.

Still, the auctioneer reckons that a full bottle

of clear, good quality wine like this one,

even without the provenance, would cost

at least a grand a bottle.

So we're talking very big money if all of these were genuine.

But this is where it gets interesting.

The auctioneer reckons that these

aren't even very good fakes.

Any expert worth his salt could spot them.

And the really interesting thing is that this bottle,

the genuine Latour 61, was brought in

for valuation a month ago.

That actual bottle?

-Yeah. -The auctioneer says he recognized

the stain on the label.

So it was brought in by two gentlemen

who both wanted to know the value of it

and were very impressed when they found out.

One of them, he recalls, had a rather flamboyant handkerchief

in his breast pocket.

They also brought in a list of other vintage wines

they wanted prices for.

Exactly the same wines as these fake wine labels.

He offered to get back to them with some more information,

but they seemed strangely reluctant

to give their contact details.

Yes, it would be.

They're both six foot, both 30-ish.

But you think Nick Turner with 150 grand of his client's

Yeah, looks like that.

Antonia mentioned that Jack had suddenly

stopped looking for the entrance to the cellar

a couple of months ago.

♪♪

I think he found it.

♪♪

And my guess is it was empty.

What about the marks of the cases in the dust?

I think someone put them there quite recently.

The wine bottle and the labels were found in Otto's safe.

He's the one.

He's the one orchestrating all of this.

How he first came up with the idea, who knows?

Maybe when he heard about the cellar from Jack,

the con man in him just instinctively thought,

you know, there's something I might use.

How?

This is just a hypothesis, OK?

We know that they got someone to impersonate Peter Blagdon

because the man that Jane saw, he wasn't the real thing.

My guess is that they installed the fake wine

down here in the empty cellar.

Probably plonked from the supermarket

with the real labels soaked off and the

faked ones put on.

Dust it down with, well, I don't know, with the contents of hoover bags.

To make it look like no one had been here for decades.

The whole place dressed to look like an

ancient, forgotten wine cellar, full of priceless old

wine, all fakes.

Except one.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

As a matter of fact, this really is a genuine, old,

forgotten wine cellar.

And there's nothing like a little bit of truth

to sell the biggest lies, is there?

So then they just had to prepare their story,

brief the man who was going to play Peter Blagdon,

and then sell the con to Nick.

I'm there in the middle of a London drinks party,

and suddenly I'm talking to Peter Blagdon,

brother of Antonia.

And he's back from Martinique or something for a funeral.

So I ask him, does he know anything

about the cellar that's supposed to be here,

the one I've been looking for?

He says, calm as you like, that he's

been in it with his grandfather 40 years ago,

just after his grandfather had been round

France on a wine buying trip.

So I ask him, was there anything down there?

He says, it was packed.

with vintage wine.

Now, this is strictly between you and me.

That's understood, OK?

-Yes, yes, of course. -Because strictly speaking,

the contents of the cellar

would still belong to Anthony Blagdon.

He doesn't know it exists.

Not a clue.

And the thing is, there were some fantastic

vintages around that time.

But then, his grandfather died.

This Peter reckons no one else knows of the whereabouts

of the cellar.

Anyway, he's obviously a bit down on his luck.

He said, if I was interested, we could

come to some kind of financial arrangement.

Then, they must have met up with the Peter Blagdon

impersonator and arranged to take a look.

Have you got a pen?

Now we need to take down the names little calculation

of thousands of pounds. It's very nice

So then they move on to the next phase

Good. I've just been speaking to Mike Spicer.

He's got a dealer contact that can take

the whole lot. No questions asked

We're talking a million plus

Mike Spicer wants in, of course. He says he can raise 50k, no problem.

Well, I can manage a 50 as well, just.

I mean, Peter Blagdon no fool.

He's not going to ask for peanuts.

If you don't want to get involved, I'll understand.

I don't really know what I'm doing. It's not my normal thing.

It's just...

You know, it feels like a -a-lifetime opportunity.

Amen.

Then the Peter Blagdon stand-in would name his price.

It almost inevitably ups the ante.

Standard con procedure.

Quarter of a million?

Cheaper the price.

You know what it's worth.

No negotiation.

By this time, Nick's been hooked.

He's probably checked up on what the wine is worth,

and it all adds up to a can't-lose proposition,

or so he thinks.

There's no way I can raise another 100K.

I have to speak to Mike.

I can do it.

150 grand?

No problem.

I imagine they just reeled him in.

So they've got 150 grand, but what about the wine?

I mean, we know the wine experts wouldn't

have been fooled by those labels.

Didn't have to fool the wine experts, Scott.

Just Nick.

And then, destroy the wine.

Destroy it?

The accident that Nick mentioned to Jane in the office?

The wine was fake.

So once they'd taken the money off Nick,

they had to convince Nick that the wine was gone.

They couldn't just say it was stolen.

Much simpler, to arrange a little accident in which

all the wine is destroyed.
